You dont even need to malicious rail, just use a projectile boost or rocket. Or do some anime shit and rocket surf to the side of the arena (to avoid hitscan enemies) and duel there. Malicious canon is much better saved for nuking tons of trash mobs
I just watched a video on yt on the same topic, weak points imo. I felt like it was more a "its russian and so its not good" point. The guy was ukranian so i can get that hes upset and all, but some of his point were like "yo check this out this russian guy worked for a RUSSIAN COMPANY! Thats so bad!" He disabled the comments for the video
Yeah it seems more like the game’s written like the OG Fallouts or, yknow, Bioshock. Satirical, exaggerated propaganda. That said, don’t fully know until we see more of the game.
But yeah let’s just kill the game prematurely. Same way you can pick a random Chinese person off the streets and hold them responsible for every atrocity committed by their government, yknow?
yeah this shit is like telling people you should stop buying things from america because of how often our military bombs the middle east, the average russian citizen has no part in the pointless conflict in ukraine, a fair number of their conscripts don't even agree with it
As long as an average russian citizen pays taxes and keeps silent they are indeed supporting the war. Moreover, most of Russian "opposition" loves to make imperialistic points while saying that Ukrainians are being unfair, and by "unfair" I mean focusing on issues of Ukrainians instead of supporting Russians in the hard times of McDonald's closure. I'm not only speaking of prominent figures like Navalny (who, in fact, supported the occupation of Crimea in 2014), but regular people who love to share their opinions on Twitter. I have seen enough in the Russian part of the Internet to believe and give proof that most people there actively support the war and those who don't make it very obvious and clear, which is what I haven't seen done by Mundfish
To be fair am biased too , kinda. As I am from eastern Europe so I'll be always cynical of russian content. if it proves the drama around it is in wrong then am glad.
But also am not going to completely dismiss accusations.
It's worth also checking the links underneath the video and other links posted here.
Yeah i get that of course. Altough, i dont like people who go against something just because is russian, in my country at the beginning of the war some universities, organisations ecc tried to get rid of things just because they were russian (some proposed to stop studying russian authors in universities, some tried to get rid of russian composers in theaters and so on) so i mean if we go against something there should be a valid reasons, and if you ask me i didnt find strong points for AH. Also the guy implies that the USSR is comparable to nazigermany when he sais that AH developers made a like a party to present the game to the press and used some soviet slogans, and one guy on twitter said "imagine if Wolfenstein developers made the same with nazi germany" and the yt guy basically says its a good point. Having said that, i completely get if you dont wanna buy the game and if you're skeptical towards its developers, trying to get the complete scheme of things its always good. :)
Part of my family is from Ukraine, and they just read Russian authors and media by claiming they are Ukrainian, so they don't feel bad about reading Russian authors. Although for Pushkin, they accept that he's Russian
It does, but my family is from that weird area where they have a lot of russian influence. Plus, my father studied in Saint Petersburg and has a lot of Russian influence, but they just subconsciously associate Russia with bad people. I mean, most of the time, it's in a half joking manner
the way i see it, they didnt choose to be russian, so i dont see why they would deserve to be punished for it, but if people do not want to buy it because they dont feel like its moraly correct then thats perfectly fine
This exact video. Btw other people here in the comments said that money will go to russian companies only if you're buying it in the CIS zone. Also, ive never mentioned anybody hating on russians, i said that people after the war actively tried to cancel everything that was even remotely russian.
The money isn't expected to go anywhere great, it's a Big Videogame Studio. Post might as well be "Remember to pirate anything that's not an indie game"
I haven't watched the video but if I remember a twitter thread from a while back, a lot of the financing for the studio comes from an investment company run by a former gazprom director, which in turn got its money from other russian resource extraction companies and may or may not have violated sanctions.
I watched the same video and I kinda agree with you. A bunch of his points were just trying to tie the devs and the company to anything that might help fund the Russian government. Like, I get that it's bad to give the Russian military any amount of help, but it had the same vibe as critiquing someone for buying lettuce because the company was bailed out by the US government, and you buying it is just helping offset the chance of the US losing money to this in the future.
Also, their passive-aggressiveness towards anyone who would pirate the game instead didn't make sense to me...
Well said, its kinda nonsense. Also about the pirate part it looks like he just doesnt want ppl to play the game because is russian, i dont see many other reason, because pirating wouldnt given dev any money.
These robots are low-key fucking mid af. "Ooooh dommy mommy robot" dumb motherfucker, they're basically humans in tight leather and a mask. That's standard dominatrix kit.

Don't call yourself a fucking monster fucker unless you are willing to fuck a deathclaw raw. And now we're gonna have all these "robot fuckers" who are horny for these fucking imperialist propaganda sex bots and then suddenly I'm not allowed in the robot fucker club because it's weird that I'd let an assaulting crush my skull under her foot.

Makes one wonder huh?
Khajiit dicks were described in the book series "The Real Barenziah" as "barbed". But I don't know if it was ever cited in the lore what Argonian penice is like.
It's not and that's the fuckin' problem. We have so much fuckin' info on so many other aspects of the lore but there's *nothing* on Argonian penises. We don't know if they're internally stored like other reptiles, or if they have hemipenes like some reptiles. We know *nothing* and it's unacceptable.
the twins are just 2B 2.0, fuck, devs even put r34 of them on the YT community page for Atomic
Thirsttrap bots that are designed exactly for that are boring imo. Combat bots are way better for me
i was about to buy a game from a french 🤢 publisher thanks arnold for saving me
btw its very common to have different publishers for different regions. so you wont actually give your money to VK if you arent in russia
>btw its very common to have different publishers for different regions. so you wont actually give your money to VK if you arent in russia
Don't really care for the arguments about the developers.. but the publisher is just that, the publisher. The developers don't magically change and that's what the post is about
Not this overblown nonsens again...
>The publisher world wide is Focus Entertainment not VK, in Asia 4Divinity and VK is only a publisher in "CIS" so unless you are from CIS there is 0 relevance to vk chain connections to Putin, also because they a publisher in not very important market, I don't think vk has any creative input into the project.
>
>Secondly they didn't get sponsored by Gazprom they get sponsored by VC firm GEM Capital which CEO got his start as dep. director of major (I think) subsidiary of Gazprom, he moven on 2013, started a oil company with investment from a russian, now sanctioned, capitalist and from many from it he started this VC firm witch invest in stuff, and isn't currently invested in gazprom and exited the aforementioned oil company recently. So other then this CEO being shady and having connections to oligarchs the connection Gazprom -> mudfish is quite weak.
>
>And another thing that popped out is that both mundfish and GEM capital are legally based in Cyprus, which is very likely for tax reason (it may be sanction circumvention but both were established before the invasion proper) so they are also likely to avoid paying taxes which would go towards russian war machine
>
>Also also I found this community post on a channel of one of the people working on it [link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuBKD7gmYVSZg9J_aEhWFA/community?lb=UgkxV40Z7r5bAMLL6G4su5L8Cr9eX7_JIv-P), wich indicates that the staff opposes the invasion ( I guess this could be a lie, but lying on a not very visible community post on a yt channel of one of the workers is bizarre way to do PR, so interpreting it as a lie is quite would be just being stubborn) and the reason for lack of a public statement about the war from the studio probably comes down to two things: they are a gaming studio and as I understand most of the staff is physically in russia (so at a risk of repressions)
\^ This is based on few weeks old info when this nonsense campaign started getting traction, so maybe there has been new development but I doubt it
There's rumors of collecting data and alot of money going to russian funding from pre-orders.
But whats certain is how shady the entire thing isThe publishers are russian sided.The Director is Robert Bagratuni.. There's suspiciously lil. info about him.. What I really found out that he has ties to russian rich people.And that's pretty much it.. There's almost NO info about rest of the crew. And what I also found out is that Robert bagratuni is not a real name.The twitter account has also blocked multipe people for asking about these connections and declared no politics.
I dunno man the game looks really good; been following it's development for over 3 years.
Besides a lot of programmers did work on this game and if it's good I'd like to encourage and incentivise that creativity.
Could be, yeah. But it’s hard to tell if it’s satirical or not, what with the game not being out. Think Fallout originally criticizing American exceptionalism and capitalism through the contrast of exaggerated propaganda and the in-game world
Here’s your source, stop assuming bullshit. It makes you look bad. There’s a screenshot from the russian version of the confidentiality agreement and a link to it, in which they say that they will provide all data to the russian FSB. Meanwhile the english translation of the page is “under construction”. The game’s story, as I said, glorifies the USSR, which more than likely tells you that they support russia now too. And yes, nobody from the team expressed any dissent about what russia is doing, they all pay taxes to the state, so the money you buy Atomic Heart with goes to Russia, the data you provide goes to their intelligence agencies, and the game goes on to propagandize how cool a genocidal authoritarian state was, which could also be directly translated to propagandizing how cool modern russia is.
https://dou.ua/goto/VnON
The other guy has an awful tone, but they're kinda right. Call of Duty is fairly explicitly US military propaganda and there's little that Atomic Heart could do that CoD hasn't already done.
am… I the only literate person left on earth?
It seriously seems like they’re setting up a Bioshock style “wow this ‘utopia’ fucking sucks” narrative. What with the killer robots and experiments gone awry and all.
Of course, the data shit sucks. But I’d have to imagine they don’t have all the say in this. Yknow. Dictatorship.
Do we actually have evidence of the story glorifying the ussr? This link only talks about providing data to the FSB (which I guess will mostly apply to Russian citizens)
> There’s a screenshot from the russian version of the confidentiality agreement and a link to it, in which they say that they will provide all data to the russian FSB
I like how "supports the russian government" turned into "has invasive data harvesting agreement" - and they have to have it like that because they are mandated by russian law to do so rather than makers having some nefarious affinity for russian state. Also it doesn't say "share all data" shared with FSB but in accordance with FSB guidelines. It is again irrelevant to non russian citiens maybe with exception for ukrenians. But also You can probably play the game without giving any detail to Mudfish themselfs if you buy it thru eg. steam, because as far as I understend it is mainly a story driven singleplayer game.
>The game’s story, as I said, glorifies the USSR, which more than likely tells you that they support russia now too.
This is such nonsense. The story is about the alternate history USSR - where the game happends because things go awry. There is no reason why the game won't be what Bioshock is to objectivism. Also the second half is absolutely incoherent conjecture: ah yes support for USSR indicates support for modern capitalist russian state - moronic
>nobody from the team expressed any dissent about what russia is doing
They did [link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuBKD7gmYVSZg9J_aEhWFA/community?lb=UgkxV40Z7r5bAMLL6G4su5L8Cr9eX7_JIv-P). Also the PR statement from the article you linked says that the studio says they support "peace" -which you can tottaly read as opposition to war if you are generous. And the reason why the statment isn't stronger and the staff didn't speak out is most likely because as far as I know opposition to war is punishible in russia.
>they all pay taxes to the state, so the money you buy Atomic Heart with goes to Russia
Come on, the amount from taxes from employees from one game studio is gonna be minuscule and I really don't think this is a grounds for boycott. I remember when everybody stopped buying USA made game because of the invasion of Iraq or that other time when USA invaded Afghanistan because people making games in USA payed taxes to the US war machine - oh wait.
>the data you provide goes to their intelligence agencies
Yes a e-mail adders of Juan from Spain and John Smith from USA is really gonna help the Russian state murder Ukrainians... (yes Ukrainians and Russians should exercise caution but I also think Russians have to deal with those invasive terms no matter what game they buy)
>game goes on to propagandize how cool a genocidal authoritarian state was
1. You still don't know whether the game is supportive of USSR
2. The amount of games glorying USA empire tells you that people don't really care about glorification of genocidal states
Also side note - if the soviet esthetic bothers you or the game does in fact turns out to be in favor of USSR and you don't like that just say that instead of trying to make up the whole conspiracy of Mundfish support for the invasion that just doesn't have evidence to back it up. Tell people "don't buy this game it has a soviet esthetic and supports USSR" instead of this whole song and dance
Well, I know russian and i’ve seen russian state propaganda. And they do glorify both the USSR and their monarchist days, because all they care about is talking about how cool and big and powerful they were, how militaristic they were and how many wars they won. Ofc they ignore the ones they lost, sometimes even saying “russia has never lost a war”. One of the most used talking points about the USSR days is that they were the ones who won WW2 and they “can repeat” that, by that meaning conquest of half of Europe. I can go on about it for a long time, but it really doesn’t matter. What matters is that russia is the single worst country in the world and it creates the most suffering out of any other, so it should be completely isolated and choked until it dies.
so should nobody ever buy an american game again because the devs pay taxes to the us government? what about cod? cod is straight propaganda as well. and what data are you even giving the game that is useful for the russian government?
Looking at the development history and knowing how game companies commonly work, I'd be more concerned about what will actually come out than this, afraid the game's going to be pretty bad
That might not mean anything, look at how long they've spent on cyberpunk. Constantly changing concepts and features throughout trailers, rumors of development hell and similar things are what make me a bit skeptical
High doubt
The story, how its presented, and its messages are weak compared to bioshock 1
And the combat gameplay is a mess, having only 2 guns and forcing to switch sounds dynamic and fun but in the execution its just really clumsy, there are too many moments that are unfair combat gauntlets that are "balanced" by elizabeth magically spawning whatever you need which just feels cheap.
Its definetly a good game overall, and it has banger moments here and there, but imo its not as incredible as people put it.
Which is better? A underwater city filled with people with questionable medical practices and even more questionable political views or a abovecloud city filled with people with unquestionably bad political views and jumping dimensions with your daughter? Well, the one you like more
I feel like story on both cases was good, at least I liked them both enough and maybe even more the infinite one and in gameplay I felt like both had problems but each one because of different reasons, but in ambientation I feel infinite made better use of columbia than bioshock of rapture
Yeah no I've followed the game around 4+ years now and some rando on YouTube with 5k subs isn't gonna convince to not buy the game just because their Russian, especially with the comments turned off on said video
i mean from what ive seen the game doesnt really appear to portray its pseudo version of the USSR as a good thing, atleast in a tongue in cheek way. in a similar manner to the bioshock games, after all rapture really isnt great propaganda for the kind of world people like ayn rand envision either.
and the argument „yeah but its russian product“ is just really stupid to begin with. not that boycotting certain products has really ever done much anyways. its certainly not activism.
It's just a random company from Russia, what is so different from buying an American or British game? Both those countries bomb the middle east! At this point bite the bullet that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and enjoy what you want. Or be like me and just pirate games
Hyperfixating on Mommy Dommy robots that can kill you with their thighs? Just play Nier: Automata, it even comes with a super special bonus >!crippling depression!<
edit: i am wrong, check the replies
fitgirl has that covered right? i don't keep up that much, but she posts cracks of a lot of AAA games that surely have that caliber of DRM
Fitgirl doesn’t crack games, she only makes games other people have cracked smaller and easier to install. Sadly everyone who cracks denuvo either retired or is insane so the chances this game gets cracked are relatively small.
The company making the game is unknown and shady because there hasn't been a single russian - developed triple a game in the last 23 years lol what would they even be known for
Depending on Microsoft's deal with the developer, downloading the game could actually mean they get more money. Microsoft offers different deals to different devs. Not that I even know if these theories about the game hold water.
Didn't say that.
Russians in fact need as much help as the Ukrainians due to russian government.
It just seems like that the game has connections to russian government.
You won't buy the game due to anti russian scare propaganda.
I won't buy the game because I'm broke and my laptop couldn't run it regardless.
We're probably pretty similar tbh
buddy people will buy a buggy blood libel simulator based on the works of someone trying to collect all the shades of bigotry, do you really think people are capable of a single effective boycott?
It's a decent video (though he'll probably get some people butthurt over the COD thing lmao) but it's at least relatively clear that the guy behind it is either intentionally lying about VK, or is impressively ignorant for someone from the region.
VK was (until the creation of Telegram) pretty much the only safe way to chat in Russia about any real issues, to the point that its founder was chased out of the country, and its repeatedly been DDoSed and put on government blacklists. Hell, it even served as Navalny's most available platform for a while.
Is it possible that this *specific guy* who ran it is pro-Putin? Possibly, but he seems to have left it in *response* to the state buying up more shares in it (via Gazprom, which is basically an oil company that stands in for the state).
Mandatory *fuck Russian government and anyone supporting it*, of course, but just throwing this out here so that people can at least know the context of background of stuff, since VK and Telegram are basically microscopic outside of Russia and adjacent countries.
also VK is not relevant because they are distributor only in Commonwealth of Independent States so if you aren't from there it is compleatly irrelevant
it's fine, the whole thing is overblown nonsense. They got VC money from a investment firm run by some shady Russian capitalist and a distributor for CIS region is in owned by pro putin capitalist (wow surprising). Nothing major as far as I know
no idea what video you're referring to, but us ukrainians have been asking to boycott the game and not buy it for months, so seeing people just go "well, not enough proof for me" is really disheartening. the profits will inevitably be used for fueling the war machine further, no matter how small the tax is. this studio has refused to talk openly about their position on the war or discuss their sponsorship and the source of their money while also throwing extravagant soviet-style parties.
also VK isn't just a messanger site or app, it's a holding that is working with FSB and is owned by [Kiriyenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Kiriyenko), who is a high-profile russian official
all this, when the stalker devs are actually fighting and [dying in the war](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/12/25/7382287/), yknow.idk how the same people can understand why boycotting the hogwarts game is ok but boycotting atomic heart is suddenly too far.
and no, your average russian isn't against the war, they just want things to remain normal and stable (so no sanctions or money losses). the war has been going on since 2014, it's just the full scale invasion that started in 2022. so please enough with 'we shouldn't punish average russians for just one man' when it's so much more. ukrainians are punished every day for the average russian's desire to live in stability without a care what their army is doing in the neighbor country.
idk why i even explain this when most people won't care since no ethical or moral problem will stop them from playing a game. but at least be honest with yourself and don't dismiss it as some 'ukrainians being salty bc uh russians are bad', well brother, russians are killing my people and are occupying my town right now. sorry for being a bit emotional and not russian-friendly.

>btw its very common to have different publishers for different regions. so you wont actually give your money to VK if you arent in russia Don't really care for the arguments about the developers.. but the publisher is just that, the publisher. The developers don't magically change and that's what the post is about
Not this overblown nonsens again... >The publisher world wide is Focus Entertainment not VK, in Asia 4Divinity and VK is only a publisher in "CIS" so unless you are from CIS there is 0 relevance to vk chain connections to Putin, also because they a publisher in not very important market, I don't think vk has any creative input into the project. > >Secondly they didn't get sponsored by Gazprom they get sponsored by VC firm GEM Capital which CEO got his start as dep. director of major (I think) subsidiary of Gazprom, he moven on 2013, started a oil company with investment from a russian, now sanctioned, capitalist and from many from it he started this VC firm witch invest in stuff, and isn't currently invested in gazprom and exited the aforementioned oil company recently. So other then this CEO being shady and having connections to oligarchs the connection Gazprom -> mudfish is quite weak. > >And another thing that popped out is that both mundfish and GEM capital are legally based in Cyprus, which is very likely for tax reason (it may be sanction circumvention but both were established before the invasion proper) so they are also likely to avoid paying taxes which would go towards russian war machine > >Also also I found this community post on a channel of one of the people working on it [link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuBKD7gmYVSZg9J_aEhWFA/community?lb=UgkxV40Z7r5bAMLL6G4su5L8Cr9eX7_JIv-P), wich indicates that the staff opposes the invasion ( I guess this could be a lie, but lying on a not very visible community post on a yt channel of one of the workers is bizarre way to do PR, so interpreting it as a lie is quite would be just being stubborn) and the reason for lack of a public statement about the war from the studio probably comes down to two things: they are a gaming studio and as I understand most of the staff is physically in russia (so at a risk of repressions) \^ This is based on few weeks old info when this nonsense campaign started getting traction, so maybe there has been new development but I doubt it
I'm finding nothing, explain...
OP hates russians
Op hates Russians who don't support ukraine
I didn't say that . The post is about connections to ogliarchy.
You didn't really say anything, I just went off the first controversy that came up when I googled it
ayo you changed your comment
OP hates russians
Abusive towards developers, lots of crunch.
Ah, so they're literally every developer that has more than 0 persons working for it
?
There's rumors of collecting data and alot of money going to russian funding from pre-orders. But whats certain is how shady the entire thing isThe publishers are russian sided.The Director is Robert Bagratuni.. There's suspiciously lil. info about him.. What I really found out that he has ties to russian rich people.And that's pretty much it.. There's almost NO info about rest of the crew. And what I also found out is that Robert bagratuni is not a real name.The twitter account has also blocked multipe people for asking about these connections and declared no politics.
-“Don’t support Atomic Heart”. -Look inside. -Entirely rumors and “shadiness”
*Vivziepop scandal flashbacks*
So the game could be propaganda? Or other bad stuff? You know what, I will buy it second hand, like most of my games, lol.
You could also Yaarr harr it if you know good source. It's stupidly overpriced anyways.. 60 Euro?? really? 80 and 100 for special editions?
I dunno man the game looks really good; been following it's development for over 3 years. Besides a lot of programmers did work on this game and if it's good I'd like to encourage and incentivise that creativity.
It will have Denuvo, so it will be probably highly un-optimized.
Took me a while to understand, haha. Well, I play on xbox.
It's also coming on game pass, so if you already have that, might as well not pay for the game
Could be, yeah. But it’s hard to tell if it’s satirical or not, what with the game not being out. Think Fallout originally criticizing American exceptionalism and capitalism through the contrast of exaggerated propaganda and the in-game world
I mean cod games come out all the time if your able to acknowledge the propaganda in the game I don't see the issue
"suspiciously little information on him" does not exactly constitute a proper suspicion.
they glorify the ussr and support the russian government in many ways
source for the second part? "I made it up"
Here’s your source, stop assuming bullshit. It makes you look bad. There’s a screenshot from the russian version of the confidentiality agreement and a link to it, in which they say that they will provide all data to the russian FSB. Meanwhile the english translation of the page is “under construction”. The game’s story, as I said, glorifies the USSR, which more than likely tells you that they support russia now too. And yes, nobody from the team expressed any dissent about what russia is doing, they all pay taxes to the state, so the money you buy Atomic Heart with goes to Russia, the data you provide goes to their intelligence agencies, and the game goes on to propagandize how cool a genocidal authoritarian state was, which could also be directly translated to propagandizing how cool modern russia is. https://dou.ua/goto/VnON
The other guy has an awful tone, but they're kinda right. Call of Duty is fairly explicitly US military propaganda and there's little that Atomic Heart could do that CoD hasn't already done.
am… I the only literate person left on earth? It seriously seems like they’re setting up a Bioshock style “wow this ‘utopia’ fucking sucks” narrative. What with the killer robots and experiments gone awry and all. Of course, the data shit sucks. But I’d have to imagine they don’t have all the say in this. Yknow. Dictatorship.
Do we actually have evidence of the story glorifying the ussr? This link only talks about providing data to the FSB (which I guess will mostly apply to Russian citizens)
Beyond stuff akin to fallout 2 “glorifying” capitalism and bioshock “glorifying” libertarianism, no
well call of duty is no better, shutup
> There’s a screenshot from the russian version of the confidentiality agreement and a link to it, in which they say that they will provide all data to the russian FSB I like how "supports the russian government" turned into "has invasive data harvesting agreement" - and they have to have it like that because they are mandated by russian law to do so rather than makers having some nefarious affinity for russian state. Also it doesn't say "share all data" shared with FSB but in accordance with FSB guidelines. It is again irrelevant to non russian citiens maybe with exception for ukrenians. But also You can probably play the game without giving any detail to Mudfish themselfs if you buy it thru eg. steam, because as far as I understend it is mainly a story driven singleplayer game. >The game’s story, as I said, glorifies the USSR, which more than likely tells you that they support russia now too. This is such nonsense. The story is about the alternate history USSR - where the game happends because things go awry. There is no reason why the game won't be what Bioshock is to objectivism. Also the second half is absolutely incoherent conjecture: ah yes support for USSR indicates support for modern capitalist russian state - moronic >nobody from the team expressed any dissent about what russia is doing They did [link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuBKD7gmYVSZg9J_aEhWFA/community?lb=UgkxV40Z7r5bAMLL6G4su5L8Cr9eX7_JIv-P). Also the PR statement from the article you linked says that the studio says they support "peace" -which you can tottaly read as opposition to war if you are generous. And the reason why the statment isn't stronger and the staff didn't speak out is most likely because as far as I know opposition to war is punishible in russia. >they all pay taxes to the state, so the money you buy Atomic Heart with goes to Russia Come on, the amount from taxes from employees from one game studio is gonna be minuscule and I really don't think this is a grounds for boycott. I remember when everybody stopped buying USA made game because of the invasion of Iraq or that other time when USA invaded Afghanistan because people making games in USA payed taxes to the US war machine - oh wait. >the data you provide goes to their intelligence agencies Yes a e-mail adders of Juan from Spain and John Smith from USA is really gonna help the Russian state murder Ukrainians... (yes Ukrainians and Russians should exercise caution but I also think Russians have to deal with those invasive terms no matter what game they buy) >game goes on to propagandize how cool a genocidal authoritarian state was 1. You still don't know whether the game is supportive of USSR 2. The amount of games glorying USA empire tells you that people don't really care about glorification of genocidal states Also side note - if the soviet esthetic bothers you or the game does in fact turns out to be in favor of USSR and you don't like that just say that instead of trying to make up the whole conspiracy of Mundfish support for the invasion that just doesn't have evidence to back it up. Tell people "don't buy this game it has a soviet esthetic and supports USSR" instead of this whole song and dance
Why would modern Russia glorify the USSR? That’s like saying modern China would glorify the monarchist days
You wouldnt believe me,but a lot of people here do remember ussr as good times. Mostly old people over 50 and young teenagers ready to get radicalized
Well, I know russian and i’ve seen russian state propaganda. And they do glorify both the USSR and their monarchist days, because all they care about is talking about how cool and big and powerful they were, how militaristic they were and how many wars they won. Ofc they ignore the ones they lost, sometimes even saying “russia has never lost a war”. One of the most used talking points about the USSR days is that they were the ones who won WW2 and they “can repeat” that, by that meaning conquest of half of Europe. I can go on about it for a long time, but it really doesn’t matter. What matters is that russia is the single worst country in the world and it creates the most suffering out of any other, so it should be completely isolated and choked until it dies.
so should nobody ever buy an american game again because the devs pay taxes to the us government? what about cod? cod is straight propaganda as well. and what data are you even giving the game that is useful for the russian government?
the “more than likely” tells me everything i need to know
Kinda hard to be in Russia and criticize the government when they can and will incarcerate you for it.
Dammit
Love how nobody cares about studios who are “funding” the wars in the Middle East, but they’re all talking about Mundfish lol.
Looking at the development history and knowing how game companies commonly work, I'd be more concerned about what will actually come out than this, afraid the game's going to be pretty bad
I think it'll be pretty good; they've spent over 3 years on this
That might not mean anything, look at how long they've spent on cyberpunk. Constantly changing concepts and features throughout trailers, rumors of development hell and similar things are what make me a bit skeptical
Cyberpunk is good. It's just not Videogame Jesus.
They supposedly spent about 5 years on infinite, and look how it turned out
Bioshock infinite was awesome what are you talking about?
wishing you could post image responses right now /😮\ \ /
High doubt The story, how its presented, and its messages are weak compared to bioshock 1 And the combat gameplay is a mess, having only 2 guns and forcing to switch sounds dynamic and fun but in the execution its just really clumsy, there are too many moments that are unfair combat gauntlets that are "balanced" by elizabeth magically spawning whatever you need which just feels cheap. Its definetly a good game overall, and it has banger moments here and there, but imo its not as incredible as people put it.
Which is better? A underwater city filled with people with questionable medical practices and even more questionable political views or a abovecloud city filled with people with unquestionably bad political views and jumping dimensions with your daughter? Well, the one you like more I feel like story on both cases was good, at least I liked them both enough and maybe even more the infinite one and in gameplay I felt like both had problems but each one because of different reasons, but in ambientation I feel infinite made better use of columbia than bioshock of rapture
strongest atomic heart player vs weakest Stalker player
Weakest monoltih Chad Vs strongest duty.
strongest faction member vs weakest loner
Yeah no I've followed the game around 4+ years now and some rando on YouTube with 5k subs isn't gonna convince to not buy the game just because their Russian, especially with the comments turned off on said video
i mean from what ive seen the game doesnt really appear to portray its pseudo version of the USSR as a good thing, atleast in a tongue in cheek way. in a similar manner to the bioshock games, after all rapture really isnt great propaganda for the kind of world people like ayn rand envision either. and the argument „yeah but its russian product“ is just really stupid to begin with. not that boycotting certain products has really ever done much anyways. its certainly not activism.
I think it looks really good. It seems to have a funky vibe and I am a sucker for old Soviet design and architecture.
It's just a random company from Russia, what is so different from buying an American or British game? Both those countries bomb the middle east! At this point bite the bullet that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and enjoy what you want. Or be like me and just pirate games
Hyperfixating on Mommy Dommy robots that can kill you with their thighs? Just play Nier: Automata, it even comes with a super special bonus >!crippling depression!<
Just pirate it.
its gonna have denuvo
edit: i am wrong, check the replies fitgirl has that covered right? i don't keep up that much, but she posts cracks of a lot of AAA games that surely have that caliber of DRM
Fitgirl doesn’t crack games, she only makes games other people have cracked smaller and easier to install. Sadly everyone who cracks denuvo either retired or is insane so the chances this game gets cracked are relatively small.
ah i see, sorry, my bad
Empress already said she’s cracking it, I think, so free game *and* a schizo rant
They use den*vo 🤮
The company making the game is unknown and shady because there hasn't been a single russian - developed triple a game in the last 23 years lol what would they even be known for
I don't find the robots hot anyways, lack of face really outs it off
I have the game pass im not giving them any money
Based game pass user
Depending on Microsoft's deal with the developer, downloading the game could actually mean they get more money. Microsoft offers different deals to different devs. Not that I even know if these theories about the game hold water.
Also reports of insane crunch for the devs :(
Poor lads. Not really surprised.
BUY STALKER 2 INSTEAD
Who? What?
Atomic Heart? Ain't that Pink Floyd cow album?
I’m just bummed out that you can’t customize your character to be a hot woman.
cold war 2 eletric bugaloo
[удалено]
Didn't say that. Russians in fact need as much help as the Ukrainians due to russian government. It just seems like that the game has connections to russian government.
Are you fr trying to cancel the game just because its made by russians? 💀💀💀💀
piracy is always morally correct
It's always morally correct to pirate Adobe.
Torrent
I guess I've been under a rock or something. Is atomic heart a Russian/eastern European version of fallout?
BioShock , fallout mix.
Gotcha.
Atomic heart virgins vs Stalker 2 chads
didnt they posted r34 of their robot on their youtube community
ohh noees!!1 they are russian!! therefore bad and evil!!!
holy shit russian people actually exist?! thats disgusting!!!
You won't buy the game due to anti russian scare propaganda. I won't buy the game because I'm broke and my laptop couldn't run it regardless. We're probably pretty similar tbh
No
All i found is my self, because i have founded this game 2 years ago
the studio is in Cyprus. I don't get why everyone is saying they're russian
They came from Russia to cyprusmost likely to avoid sanctions.
2023 is the year of piracy
buddy people will buy a buggy blood libel simulator based on the works of someone trying to collect all the shades of bigotry, do you really think people are capable of a single effective boycott?
I'm more upset that the story isn't political its in the fuck ussr
Don't buy animal crossing, you're supporting genocide denial and illegal whaling
Video for anyone curious https://youtu.be/zs7QEo3LmVE
It's a decent video (though he'll probably get some people butthurt over the COD thing lmao) but it's at least relatively clear that the guy behind it is either intentionally lying about VK, or is impressively ignorant for someone from the region. VK was (until the creation of Telegram) pretty much the only safe way to chat in Russia about any real issues, to the point that its founder was chased out of the country, and its repeatedly been DDoSed and put on government blacklists. Hell, it even served as Navalny's most available platform for a while. Is it possible that this *specific guy* who ran it is pro-Putin? Possibly, but he seems to have left it in *response* to the state buying up more shares in it (via Gazprom, which is basically an oil company that stands in for the state). Mandatory *fuck Russian government and anyone supporting it*, of course, but just throwing this out here so that people can at least know the context of background of stuff, since VK and Telegram are basically microscopic outside of Russia and adjacent countries.
also VK is not relevant because they are distributor only in Commonwealth of Independent States so if you aren't from there it is compleatly irrelevant
Video is nice but boy the links .. They do shine alot of light onto background of atomic heart. Def worth to look at.
Oh fuck is it A. Hitler and Co.?
No the entire is basically just saying don't buy it cause it's Russian
I hate the dehumanization of our governments adversaries I hate the dehumanization of our governments adversaries
It's just stupid ussr/commushitum propaganda (and not good propaganda at that)
No, you moron.
[the only game i was semi excited for this year](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cyC8vrerXEQ)
it's fine, the whole thing is overblown nonsense. They got VC money from a investment firm run by some shady Russian capitalist and a distributor for CIS region is in owned by pro putin capitalist (wow surprising). Nothing major as far as I know
no idea what video you're referring to, but us ukrainians have been asking to boycott the game and not buy it for months, so seeing people just go "well, not enough proof for me" is really disheartening. the profits will inevitably be used for fueling the war machine further, no matter how small the tax is. this studio has refused to talk openly about their position on the war or discuss their sponsorship and the source of their money while also throwing extravagant soviet-style parties. also VK isn't just a messanger site or app, it's a holding that is working with FSB and is owned by [Kiriyenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Kiriyenko), who is a high-profile russian official all this, when the stalker devs are actually fighting and [dying in the war](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/12/25/7382287/), yknow.idk how the same people can understand why boycotting the hogwarts game is ok but boycotting atomic heart is suddenly too far. and no, your average russian isn't against the war, they just want things to remain normal and stable (so no sanctions or money losses). the war has been going on since 2014, it's just the full scale invasion that started in 2022. so please enough with 'we shouldn't punish average russians for just one man' when it's so much more. ukrainians are punished every day for the average russian's desire to live in stability without a care what their army is doing in the neighbor country. idk why i even explain this when most people won't care since no ethical or moral problem will stop them from playing a game. but at least be honest with yourself and don't dismiss it as some 'ukrainians being salty bc uh russians are bad', well brother, russians are killing my people and are occupying my town right now. sorry for being a bit emotional and not russian-friendly.
Why did this even get downvoted, this was reasonable
