Ghosts of Tabor

I wouldn't recommend this game to my worst enemy

It just... really doesn't play well, compared to so many other VR titles. All the interactions are slow, and finicky, and exactly what you *don't* want in a game like this. It took me 10 minutes to get through the tutorial, the significant part of that trying and failing to troubleshoot issues like height, positioning, and figuring out they'd bound the menu button to the same button you use to open the steam interface. After that was another half an hour to amble about my base (thankfully the sections of the base are labled at least), find all the ♥♥♥♥ I needed, figure out exactly what each item is (because it doesn't have any info unless you go and sell stuff). Putting on and taking off gear is a severe struggle (Into The Radius 2 does this sort of management so much better, I spent half the time accidentally taking off my backpack instead of my vest or some vest component instead of my vest) and then even then if you're too close to one of the display racks or walls it just gets put on those instead. After that I got into a raid, slowly stomped around (no sprint and speed is randomly limited at certain angles of holding something) for 20 minutes, struggled to fit only a half dozen items into my backpack (which I dropped at least twice), got to shoot one guy, and then my connection died and I lost everything. I paused there, examined what I'd spent on this and how utterly frustrated I was with it all, and decided that was enough. I cannot recommend it in it's current state. It just doesn't feel good to do any moving or shooting or looting at all.

fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I shouldve refunded it, maybe if it wasn't so janky I would play it more.

"You're a ♥♥♥♥♥ and I'm a loser" - CEO of Combat Waffle Studios. Every time I talk about Tabor, it has only been in controversy because anytime the CEO talks, he continues to bring down the quality of communication, gameplay, or cash cowing the people with DLC packs. They've made more DLC packs than updates that actually work. It's not to mention they are also selling a "Legacy" edition of a game STILL in early access. For $10-$15 dollars. This is almost the equivalent of Tarkov and paying for PVE BEFORE they made the changes to play PVE. But it's backwards to playing 2024 Tabor, no bug fixes or changes. Just paying for a rollback edition. Absolutely disgusting.

I know it's early access, but isn't the game supposed to get better over time?

unplayable slop npcs just shoot through walls dont buy

They're prioritizing DLC's over adding any meaningful content. I haven't been able to play the game for a while because the performance has been unplayable for years at this point, despite running the game at a stable and playable framerate when I first started playing it. Just go play Contractors Showdown: Exfilzone, its a much more fleshed out experience and isn't the "Temu Tabor" that the CEO is leading you to believe. In fact Exfilzone has checked off more of Tabor's roadmap ON LAUNCH than they have themselves in the whole lifespan of the game. Save your money and hand it to people that'll actually do something with it without asking for more.
