Just curious, did anybody with over two hours got a refund?

Okay, maybe he shouldn’t be Boss then, he seems to suck at his job big time.

Pretty sure it’s a pair of brothers isn’t it? Am I remembering that wrong?

I think you mean the russian brothers from The Day before

They are a Russian Developer with contacts to military units who support the war in Ukraine and also mocked Ukrainian with screenshots in their game…so why expect you no shitty behavior from them?

Stop supporting them and let their game fail.

And this happened more than once, so that is a long-term partnership. Buyanov recorded joint videos with Dmitry “Goblin” Puchkov, a Russian translator and blogger known for his anti-Ukrainian stance. And Puchkov himself was a guest at the Battlestate Games studio.

Nikita Buyanov and his company actively partnered with companies in the Russian military-industrial complex. This group actively funds and supplies separatists, they ask for donations to supply their members who are going to fight in Ukraine, they participate in podcasts from occupied cities and Tarkov’s developers prop up their platform by including them (in no small capacity) in their game.

One of the new traders they are planning to add into the game is named “Khokhol” which is an anti-Ukrainian ethnic slur used by russians. There is also a feature in the game where you can become a character called a “Scav” when you become one you are assigned a random russian name, sometimes they are memes like “garandthumb” or “robokop” but in their depravity, there is a chance that your character can be named “Hohol” which you see when you die, or other players see when you kill them.

The developers of Escape from Tarkov, the Russian studio Battlestate Games, have published several new screenshots of the game. As Artem Lys noticed, on one of them the character shows the middle finger to the player in pixel uniform and with yellow tape on his hand, which clearly symbolizes the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

They moved their office to London (wonder why…) but part of the team still works from their origin in Russian St. Petersburg. And here is what I’ve found:

I am aware they aren’t Russian

they are a Russian developer, they moved their office to london but still maintain their office in St. Petersburg

really hope they go into bankruptcy

Oh I hope the studios will find new owners, but those greedy fucks from embracer need to go down. Under their leadership those studios will only see cost reductions and they have to fear closure at all times, Embracer does not care about the creativity of it’s studios only the pricetag they can put on them.

That’s what discord is for, an easy, quick and dirty community aggregate

and thats also the reason why this project is now gone…

also you are pretty much “paying” with all you information and since they started heavily monetizing Discord you will pay even more as they soon will start to sell you conveniences or essential features. Also Tencent you know, which is pretty much like Nestlé, so it should be avoided.

what do they mean by acquiring new studios? I thought they are done and I hope they go bankrupt…

so Bioshock in Space without the original licence or story? I think I’ll pass on this. Bioshock 1 was lightning in a bottle and an amazing game but the rest of the series was never able to reach the same heights and Infinite was really bad in my oppinion so that even the story and the scenery couldn’t save it for me.

avater, 7 miesięcy temu (edited 7 miesięcy temu)

Most people seem to like the third one, which I never understood.

The upgrade system was inferior and didn’t even change the visuals of the guns, Columbia felt more like different setpieces then a real floating city, the AI of Elisabeth was laughable compared to games like The Last of Us and the whole combat felt dumb down, even when it was faster and still little bit of fun. But it was just inferior to the two other installments.

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

Having played both, I can’t say I understand the differences here. Do you mind elaborating? I found Elisabeth a lot more helpful than Elie and to be honest, I can’t remember Elie having any impact on my gameplay off the top of my head.

Quiet the opposite for me. Keep in mind I played it on the PS3 so its been a long time ago, but I remember that the enemys blatantly ignored her, that she did not fight at all and she constantly gave you ammo or health so it made the whole game pretty easy.

Elli on the other hand was really grounded in the gameplay, the animations, she fought back and also got attacked by the enemy. I just found her much more useful and real and I remember that I was quiet shocked about Elisabeth’s basic AI in Infinite

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

The enemies ignored both of them.

I disagree to that. Ellie got permanently attacked by the AI, in Bioshock she is blatantly ignored.

so optimization is shit, denuvo is shit and the mtx are at least questionable but still the discussion is just “overblown” ? LoL…gamers these days.

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

LOL 😂

but to be fair they do not say which year that horizon may twinkle. A horizon in maybe 5 years could be possible at least for a beta release.

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

played it. it’s no way near a full 1.0 release…not even a Beta 1.0 release.

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

what?

avater, 7 miesięcy temu (edited 7 miesięcy temu)

Because for some time I still had hope that they can turn this into a somehow good game…and oh yeah I fucking paid for it…

avater, 7 miesięcy temu

But did it really earned that much money, considering that Arrowhead was working on this game for nine years ?

how the fuck is it impossible for me to get a decent, not taken, username in most online games or launchers but these scammers can change their games to whatever the heck they want?

Shouldn’t be hard to implement a check if the game name and other info is already listed in the store somewhere else…

avater, 8 miesięcy temu

fuck sony and their deal to keep this from pc for now and from xbox forever…

avater, 8 miesięcy temu

nope. game is good, but i’m not interested in the ingame store.

avater, 8 miesięcy temu (edited 8 miesięcy temu)

Yeah I know, still not interested in any battlepasses, never was. I usually quit as soon as any game start their “Season of the…” crap and return to my evergreen Guild Wars 2.

I also got me a decent looking outfit already and the stats fit my playstyle, so I’m pretty much playing the game for fun now with no interest in any additional unlocks besides stratagems and ship upgrades.

Lol the downvotes…

What card are you running, performance turns out to be pretty decent. I run this on a Radeon 6950 and on 1440p with everything on high and fsr on quality, I get 120+ fps on average. Or is this game more in favor of amd cards ?

avater, 8 miesięcy temu (edited 8 miesięcy temu)

Im using warbonds, just not the premium stuff since nothing there I desire and I don’t search the map for that currency.

avater, 8 miesięcy temu

Using the Radeon software is such a good experience. I never had any issues with it or the driver, they are looking clean, are responsive and actually helpful.

Hope that you get a similar experience, for how expensive Nvidia is it should be mandatory to have a good software…

Ah fuck it, I know it’s against the meta here but I got it yesterday for 38€ and I actually really like it. Didn’t play the beta, didn’t see any videos beyond the initial trailer years ago and just got it because I like those kind of games.

Oddly it reminds me a lot of Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you humm to the shanties, you upgrade your gear and ship and sometimes you do all of that together with other players. I don’t care for the hand to hand combat or the land gameplay of Blackflag cause these were actually the things I liked the less, and to be honest I also would not need the land gameplay in Skull and Bones since the real character of the game is your ship.

If you’re fine with that and get it a decent price tag, it’s a really entertaining and fun game. For me after 6 hours of gameplay it would land somewhere between a 7 and an 8 out of 10 I think and I can really see myself playing for a longer time :)

Ubisoft has quite a track record for staying on their games as a service. Rainbow Six, For Honor, The Division…

Skull and Bones has a great base to build on (imho!) and I am really curious how the game will develop.

I must also say I got it for 38€ and I think that’s reasonable price for it but I also thinks it has still some issues and bugs, but the most important thing is I actually have fun with it.

wouldn’t even touch it if it’s free.

Game journalism these days…

Listen, I don’t play nor like Diablo 4 but is this headline not a little bit misleading since you get the mount skin as a bonus for buying 70€ worth of their stupid premium currency? So you actually pay for the currency and not the mount…

Again the disclaimer that I do not play Diablo 4, nor do I defend Blizzard or microtransactions and I’m a true supporter that the coolest looking stuff should be exclusively achievable by actually playing the freaking game and not fucking pay for it!

If you excuse me now, got to continue playing Last Epoch which is even in its early access fucking amazing.

avater, 8 miesięcy temu

But are all the other shop skins available by actually playing the game? Because if not I would find the headline still to be quite misleading.

avater, 9 miesięcy temu

shit like that is annoying, especially if the game does not really need an online connection if you want to play solo. It seems like you already played it, is it possible to habe multiple characters in the game like two Deadshots or Boomerangs?

avater, 9 miesięcy temu (edited 9 miesięcy temu)

I have FFXIV for that, so eh, not really interested at all. 🤷

Gameplay looked quiet fun to be honest and I always like a good coop game. And gameplay is actually the thing I care for, this is also one of the reason I quit FF14 after 800+ hours because in the end it was just a “run to the next text passage” in between the LFG instead of actual gameplay but I have Guild Wars 2 for this.

avater, 9 miesięcy temu (edited 9 miesięcy temu)

If they nailed the 30s gameplay loop it could be fun. Of course the rest like the loot also has to work, because of their service game approach and therfore I wait for final reviews.

Fun story but don’t expect much more out of it. Solid 7.

I must say I had more fun with some of these 7 out of 10’s than with any Breath of the Wild, Red Dead Redemption or Elden Ring. So nothing wrong in getting a 7 out of 10.

avater, 9 miesięcy temu

Well… I didn’t knew that. I might give Witcher another shot then. Thanks.

try it out. It took me 3 times until I loved the game, so there is that ^^
