@Dorkthrone not a problem!

So yeah, the general goal is the same - collect whatever you can/need and extract if you can. The unique thing about playing as a Rook however is that you join another ongoing trios game 10-15 mins in and Rooks can only ever be solo. You also get a skill that allows you to blend in with the AI bots which comes in very handy so you don't draw any attention to yourself - especially if you're playing the 3rd map.

I've mainly been playing as a group of trios - all random people I've met in game that had a mic and had fun with but when it's 4am and I'm still playing with my partner sleeping in the same room I play some Rook games as not to wake her up 😂 I've literally done 4 all nighters since the server slam - the game is just so much fun for me

@Dorkthrone playing solo (as Rook specifically) is a VERY different experience than playing as a 3 person team.

Both equally fantastic and exhilarating! Playing as Rook feels super tense and sorta like a stealthy horror game. To be successful you have to ve very aware and tactical. When I'm playing it I feel like I'm playing MGS in first person or something.

@SeanOhOgain @somnambulance such a ridiculous thing to say. It's meaningless because you're not having the same fun you had with an equally "meaningless" game 15 years ago?

How are you both describing a game as being pointless when it's sole purpose is entertainment... You talk as if you're making a living out of single player narrative driven games lol

If the genre isn't for you then accept that's all it is - don't criticise something you don't/can't understand. Next you'll be saying Street Fighter is pointless because all you do is fight over and over. But Super Smash is great because at least I had fun with it 10 years ago SMH
