I mean, if it’s a technical mess, that’s one thing, but I think this looks great. More importantly, we really haven’t gotten many games like this in so, so long, and I’m hungry for it.

The plot is basically current day American life. You don’t need the game to play it.

…because life is “The Game”.

The game looks like a mixture of GTA, Mafia, modernize APB in a cyberpunk-esque universe with generic Unreal 5 graphics.

The mod tool is the biggest feature in my eyes, but for the average gamer does that make a difference? I don’t think you need to pay to criticize this game, but what do I know? I been paid by Russia and China to have this account on lemmy 🤷‍♂️

Not a great first impression when the first thing you ever see/hear about a game is the CEO of the company that made said game’s conspiracy theory about why people are saying their game sucks.

neukenindekeuken,

You sound like one of those people he’s talking about

There must be so much paid review manipulation out there but I don't know if it amounts to much. At the end of the day, if the game is good people will play it. I mean No Man's Sky came back from the entire world dumping on it from the stratosphere. Also, often overly negative reviews will actually make me more interested in a game, specially if all the negatives don't sound that bad "Horrible game! I didn't continuously die and how dare they allow the player to explore anywhere!".

Negative reviews usually are more descriptive about the game’s design than positive ones, because it’s a big enough part to stop someone from playing more. Positive reviews are 98% “This game gives me dopamine and/or money”

Missed typing the a, typed r, then hit m instead of backspace.

Oh yeah, there’s always someone “paying” for bad reviews. Yet they can never prove it.

The game looks fiiiiiiiiiiine but I’m already exhausted at the thought of another $80 USD price tag with DLC/microtransactions and forced multiplayer elements.

AAA studios are all doing the same sorts of things and putting just a little twist on it hoping it’ll be enough to persuade you away from all the other AAA games and studious out there doing the exact same thing.

I’m not a hater, I don’t hate your mediocre looking game that absolutely fails to stand out from the crowd, but I’m not gonna buy into your advertising for it either. To anyone who finds a home in this game and enjoys it, I’m legit happy for you. Mostly I’m just never going to think about this ever again.

Mindseye is $60, and it’s much easier to stand out from the crowd when the crowd is all the way back in 2010.

Based on some comments in the article, it sounds like the guy is accusing Rockstar of financing a smear campaign. Maybe if they made a game that wasn't a straight GTA clone they wouldn't have to worry about something like that.

StereoCode,

Wild take. Imagine if you made a souls-like game and fromsoft made a smear campaign against you? Assuming this accusation has any legs. It’s highly morally corrupt to just be “don’t make a souls game then”. Most games can be compared to another existing game franchise, it’s called competition.

While these are former Rockstar devs, so there is some incentive by Take Twoto potentially take them down, what they have shown is… Not impressive yet

“Driving and shooting, the game.”

Oh and you can make your own scripted driving and shooting levels

Granted you can say the same thing about GTA technically… But the characters are not interesting and the gameplay looks… off. The ragdoll enemies and the lack of any gun recoil. Just comes off as steam asset flip quality

simple, do games w "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda

Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.

ChicoSuave,

The last time a Russian had a cultural achievement that impressed the world they had a tsar. There is nothing worthwhile coming out of Russia anymore.

grue,

Nah, the last time they did that was 1985, when Tetris came out.

RowRowRowYourBot,

Tetris is great and Nightwatch/Daywatch were fun movies to watch. The subtitles were dome in such a unique way that made the experience more compelling.

P1nkman,

Great movies, and so were the books they’re based on.

ChicoSuave,

Nightwatch was fine. Daywatch not so fine.

Tetris slaps. But that was the last time Russia added to human culture

pandamac,

A tsar? What? I’m not even defending the USSR, but there were great cultural achievements coming out of Russia and the larger USSR, both critical and propaganda, in literature and film.

NigelFrobisher,

Tatu were pretty good.

VagueAnodyneComments, do games w "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda

I don’t think they remove military propaganda from Steam. Fascist military sims from fascist countries are specifically allowed.

duchess,

What’s this? It‘s blocked in my region.

real_squids,

The last of America’s Army games, see this steamdb page for screenshots. I tried it years ago and got a vibe of proto-insurgency, it’s somewhat realistic, even the tutorial is decent, but as you can imagine they just wanted a good recruitment tool and this wasn’t it.

Dasus,
@Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

I played it back in like 2003. It was pretty fucking high class back then, when it came to realism. You could cook nades and decided whether you roll or toss them. You could also peek/lean. I believe it’s kinda common nowadays, but those were some fancy things back then. CS wasn’t even CS:GO back then, but like CS 1.5-1.6.

I never played it through Steam though.

Played on American servers and always had like 180 ping. Still managed to snipe decently.

But even back then I understood it was obviously propaganda, because you’re never allowed to play as “the bad guys”. You’re always an American, and you’re shooting people vaguely Middle-Eastern enemies. From your POV, you’ll rock an M16, but from your enemy’s pov, you’re using an AK47.

I think if they hadn’t tried forcing that bit, it might’ve seen more success.

Pure propaganda, sure, but I enjoyed it as a kid.

The mindblowing thing is that, if wikipedia doesn’t lie, the same developers also made fucking Moonbase Alpha

Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
