>mid Bioshock ripoff >Somehow has like 4 DLCs>Like 5 albums for the OST full with actual songs and not just some BGM>Sequel on developmentIs this game like some kind of money laundering scheme?
It's made by Russians so I wouldn't be surprised
>>737575590I brought this up too and russian bots called me a niggerThis game was in development hell for years and launched day 1 on gamepass, it has ZERO cultural impact and no organic discussions.There is no way this made enough money for a sequel and an MMO battle royal bullshit thats also being made by them.
>>737575590>Very cheap to make>Ideologically driven developers who just want to make a game and all these DLCs>In fact, very successful in Russia and ChinaYou’re simply not the target audience.>>737575921As I said earlier, you’re simply not the target audience. They sold something like 10 million copies, which is absolutely massive considering the very low production cost.
>>737575590I wouldn't even call it mid. I actually thought it was pretty shit. The puzzles had to be some of the worst I've seen in a long time>puzzle where you need to guide a ball through a pipe maze>not even hard except you've got to do it like three fucking times in a row>after each time you do it you have to backtrack to another room to start it again>platformer puzzle where you have to ride and jump from a series of moving platforms>platforms move at like .00001 mph>if you fall you have to start all over again>section where you have to go around an open world area searching bodies to get a train ticket>not even hard, because the corpses are marked>game pulls a "fuck you" with one of the tickets you can find by saying it's invalid>game pulls another fuck you by having the robot demanding the train ticket just go "oops turns out you didn't even need a ticket silly me"Not to mention how fucking insufferable the open world sections are due to the respawn mechanics of enemies
>>737575590the base game sucked ass, especially when it went open worldthe best part was the HOG-7 fightthe DLC's trimmed the fat off, focusing on what they did good in the base gameDLC 3 and 4 were really good and gave me hope for the sequel
property tax and cost of living is probably 1/10th of north america, so if they get gamepass/epic money + like 200k sales they can fund a game studio for a decade
>game pulls another fuck you by having the robot demanding the train ticket just go "oops turns out you didn't even need a ticket silly me"Peak comedy right there, I was amused by it.The constant enemy respawns were a massive pain in the cock especially on hardest difficulty. The whole reason for it is so the repair drones can endlessly fix a Watchdogs camera that you need to progess past a gate. Sheesh. But otherwise fun game, I liked it.
>>737575590>>Somehow has like 4 DLCsTechnically, it has only 1 DLC which was released in 4 parts.>>Like 5 albums for the OST full with actual songs and not just some BGMAnd what song those are.https://youtu.be/AONkzY7iQtYhttps://youtu.be/qdHvMlVBiqohttps://youtu.be/XlAul6spLkAhttps://youtu.be/hlgc77Xyz4o
>>737575590>Collab with some random chinese yuri gacha
>>737575921>it has ZERO cultural impact and no organic discussions.I'm Russian and I sometimes see ads for it with/on various products. Something like the Halo Monster Energy campaign, but for a bunch of stuff.
The sountrack made out of remixes of old soviet songs is absolutely kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKVXaMeazAQ
It's a singleplayer FPS (which is scarse in the market nowadays) and it looks pretty good. That's about it.
>>737580646>and it looks pretty goodSure, but the gameplay is more important.
>>737575921You can always tell when a game is being astroturfed when literally no one on /v/ ever posts gameplay footage or even pictures. It's always clips of the robots twins or fan art, same thing with stellar blade
>>737575590It's pretty good actually. The third dlc was great
>>737580736I posted some clips for the release threads. But the truth is that it's just not a very clippable game.
>>737575590I like it. The setting is great, the characters are fun and the combat is too but lacks normal enemy variety.
>>737581062also the looting is genius. If you're gonna make players need a bunch of shit, have them hoover it up.
>>737575590>mid game is popular somehow???>aiiieeeeeee save me crimsondesert wukongman!!!!!
>>737580736
>>737575590crispy critters
>>737575590the part I dont get is that the type of person who would like this game is also the type to pirate everything as well. how has it made money?
>>737581742Denuvo.
>>737581826oh it had denuvo? that explains it then
>>737575921Any attempt at discussing this game in the past few years on /v/ was met with /pol/faggotry ukraine/russia shit
>>737575590You don't know what money laundering means.
>>737575590eh I liked it, it was kinda creative in some aspects and it was mostly fun
>>737575590Nah, it's all being paid for with Russian tax rubles in hope of a minor cultural victory.
>>737581330>157 gigsJesus fucking Christ.
>>737580736Retards like you post this in every single threadFact is no one gives a fuck to take their time to record footage and then render it for your retarded ass, it's much easier to discuss things that actually matter like a games story or characters>enter shooter thread>DUHH WHERE GAMEPLAY>enter action game thread>DUHH WHERE GAMEPLAY>enter MMO thread>DUHH WHERE GAMEPLAY>enter cRPG thread>DUHH WHERE GAMEPLAYGameplayniggers are seriously mentally ill. Fuck off and play your Fortnite you genetic deadend. All gameplay no substance.
>>737582941Holy melty
>>737582941gameplay is kingstay mad nigger
>>737583298based and true
>>737577492>>In fact, very successful in Russia and ChinaChina will buy anything And Putin is Putin.>>737575590I bought it to own the NAFOids backing Ukrainian Nazis (Ukelele lost, BTW).It's aggressively mediocre. Nothing in it beyond the AI sloppa (so not even human made!) 1950's Communist Soviet Union art style is worth writing home about.Combat? Shit.Story? Shit.Gameplay? Shit.The art style is the only thing carrying it, and notice how only people that advertise it advertise it with the robot "Twins" (your wife) because they're heterosexuals that are horny for busty silver "women."
>>737585273Also let's not forget:>DLC4 finally comes out after THREE YEARS (3 years) from base game launch>Promised in a season pass>A season pass that launched before>they started work on a Live Service Sloppa and sequel (AH2)Mundfish has to be a scam. There is NO WAY anyone that promised 4 DLC's within a year, taking 3 years would survive normally.
>>737585273>>737585376seethe, incel
>midEveryone's just being contrarian here. Its not perfect, but its pretty incredible that the Russian devs managed to make a culturally Russian game that's basically >Soviet Bioshock with sexy robots, a sexual assaulting fridge,all kinds of Russian references, a soundtrack of both traditional songs and rock each given their own remixes, and perhaps most important of all 4 major, story continuing expansion style DLCs The fact they managed to continue to improve the game and keep to their promises to make expansions instead of bullshit >Okay season pass is like 2 new costumes, a horde mode, and then maybe one new short DLC 'expansion' released at the end of the pass. that we tend to get these days for single player titles from most western devs. The setting is good the gameplay is fun, the characters are generally enjoyable (if somewhat stereotypes yet different from most western ones which is good) The fact that they're getting >Atomic Heart 2, a single player follow up which will hopefully refine things and take the story further >The Cube, a multiplayer title set in the same universe >publishing a horror title that may or may not be in the same universe means hopefully Mundfish is going to be fine.
>>737575590it's much better than Bioshock
>>737587389One of the best moments in the game.https://youtu.be/Xo2HGeeZ8DU
>>737580736I don't think that's a game being astroturfed, that's literally just /v/A lot of people here straight up do not play videogames anymore and they have nothing interesting to say about them.They just obsess over asses because the games they do play (gacha, primarily) have the most mind numbing and boring shit imaginable.
>>737575590game is funseethe

Just finished DLC 4 and loved it.this soundtrack was a banger and listening to it while fighting a bunch of robots was a great experience, wish the battle was longer though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7rCVNiaYM
>>737575590Man, this and STALKER 2 were such massive letdowns.
>>737575775>>737575590When I'm in charge I'll lock retards like you up and not let you go until you can explain money laundering is and how paying expensive people to make a video game in plain sight applies to that. Enjoy dying of old age behind bars.
>>737580736Pretty retarded logic desu. Gacha games are all about sex so no one talks about gameplay, yet they make up a significant amount of discussion on this board.>inb4 those are also astroturfed o algoLook at how much money games like Genshin, Nikke, or Blue Archive make before telling that to anyone or yourself. East Asians especially love this "genre".
>>737588586okay, schizo
>>737575590this game is kinda mid but the art direction is outstanding
>make a fuck ton of music for DLC4>include only a handful in OST volume 6What were they thinking with this
>>737575590How are the DLCs? Played the first and said I would rather wait for the other 3 so I could where the story goes.Solid 7/10 game if you don't count the open world.
>>737595093Second DLC is not very good unless you're really into sliding and platforming. Story wise it's what happens in limbo after the end of the story in the base game. Third and fourth DLCs are great, with the third one being the best one in my opinion. They all have great music. If you enjoy the story don't skip DLC2 but don't expect it to be great gameplay wise
>>737595316Oh yeah, I skipped the first because it was an what-if and went straight to the 2nd DLC, I fucking hate cs_surf.
>>737595621It's revealed in DLC4 that the first one isn't a what if but a simulation in limbo that lebedev orchestrated in preparation for the CHAR-les fight
>>737575590Financed by government for soft power cultural impact (aka staying in discussion as nothing happens)>>737586239That's gotta be Pathologic>>737588102Stalker 2 is good sequel, I say this as someone who've played all 4 back to back
I thought it was FUCKING fun, but obviously had some SHITTY elements like the map, or infinite GODDAMN respawns, or clunky RETARDED menus and upgrade systems. Still the world carried a lot of it. Also Nora best WHORE. Crispy critters...
>>737575590Literally only talked about because of the robots. Anyone who with half-a-brain and is actually white realizes that it's a 6/10 Bioshock clone. Any other possible discussion surrounding it was from brownoids who can't help themselves and NEED to talk about slavniggers outside of /pol/Case in point: >>737585273
>>737587810>fuck the biden and EU coup anyway
>>737575590>le grim-faced white male with beard and short hair holding an assault rifle with the trigger finger memethis game looked interesting because of the art style but the marketing makes it look like just another shooter, pass
The 4th DLC was truly terrible. I can't believe I'm seeing people talk positively about. Might be actual Russian bots.
>>737575590>Melee weapons ruin the game>Hub world design full of padding ruins the pacing>Ugly SJW Larisa designThis game had potential but it's shit
>>737575590I thought it was okay. I only wished the main character would shut the fuck up. He talks way too fucking much. He honestly reminded me why I prefer mute protags.
New DLC was immersive kino
>Saw DanceYou didn't beat the game

>>737604314thats niggerfield
>>737575590>Somehow has like 4 DLCs Really? I just played 4 hours and it didn't get good so I dropped it, hard.

This is a trash game!>Is this game like some kind of money laundering scheme?At this point I wouldn't be surprised.
>>737580736You throw a fit whenever I point out that's the case for BG3.
>>737580736This must be zoomer twitch streamer brain because I never think that I need to record my gameplay. What the fuck would I even record it for?Doubly so for a single player game that I play to enjoy alone
The storage/upgrade menu music was an absolute banger https://youtu.be/CpGQg9XD9HU?si=MAIdfcR5BbwPSz9m
>>737604543People who aren't absolute dogshit at games
>>737582941>Gameplayniggers are seriously mentally illMaybe a game's gameplay is a factor in their judgement of the game?
I tried it and got bored within 2 hours
>>737604990it's hard being a game journo
>>737604967Gameplay is importantExpecting anyone and everyone discussing the game (whether that be the gameplay, characters, story) to also have recorded footage is retarded
>>737604959The combat was shit, repetitive, and too easy. From what I'm seeing they focused on improving the game in the DLCs, okay. Good. Still a weak core game from 4 hours of gameplay.
>>737605230Fair enough.
>>737605612>shit, repetitivegibberish that doesnt mean anything>too easyagreed,way too few enemies for how strong you are
>>737604691Some anons do so to share webms on /v/ or /wsg/. There's also a lot of record last x hours/minutes of game features nowadays. I personally don't use it and barely ever record anything unless I really want to show something to a friend or to anonymous strangers on the interwebz
>>737605897>gibberish that doesnt mean anythingOk, shit can mean any number of things, but repetitive means nothing?>agreed,way too few enemies for how strong you Yeah. And it was boring.
>>737575590>mid bioshock ripoffbioshock is a casualized system shock spiritual successor. The world ended on y2k
I gave this game a fair shot, but their was so many bugs that I got trapped and couldn't progress through the game.
You are retarded, this game was definitely very cheap to make. You live in a bubble, most games are actually very Cheap to make if you follow these procedures:>live in a third world shithole with low wages>get subsidies from the government >steal assets from other games>use ai>use pirated software to make your gameAtomic heart did all of that. It's only western studios who balloon their budgets due to middle men, taxes, consultants and legit money laundering (concord)
>>7376060745mb
>>737606562> but repetitive means nothing?yes,i've no idea what you mean by repetitive as video games are formulaic>it was boringYou were bored*,guess you just don't like shooting
>>737585273>I bought it to own the NAFOidsYou bought crap to own whatever random imaginary boogeyman you've inserted in the market of video games? The only time I've seen the real actions out of one group was likely Z discord raids entering a video game thread whenever a game was made in Ukraine.The Metro series was the latest example of that. Shit nobody would have spoken about on this board like 5-6 years ago was suddenly a hot button issue about equally imaginary nazis fighting a war against Russia. I've only really seen one example of how this has all been slanted to have always favored some Russian state media narrative.Asmongold created some fake controversy over AH too to suggest Ukraine was targeting a Russian game but he's always been an attention whore retard like all Twitch steamers in general and just picks up on random twitter drama which zoomers are on like flies on shit.
>>737587873>wish the battle was longer though.same, is a problem with the game, battles are too short sometimes while the music is great.they should just add an endless mode where you crush waves of robots, plant zombies and weird goo people with your favorite Soundtrack as BGM.
I bought the gold edition of this to show my support for the Russian invasion of Jewkraine
>>737577492>They sold something like 10 million copiesNo they didnt>low production cost.Probably
>>737583172>>737583298>>737604967I'm not going to record a clip, export the clip, trim the clip, remove audio from the clip, convert into Webm (not mandatory now though) just to post it here, my time is too valuable for that
>>737587389>>737587456You didnt run out of ammo? I spent 90% of the game with melee weapons cause I saved ammo for the bosses and it was boring that way
If anyone here played it on ps5 can you confirm if it has adaptative triggers
>>737608802not at all, but I used the energy gun a lot. I could always pull out the ak or shotgun when needed and didn't worry about ammo.
>>737600334
>>737608802I don't remember struggling with ammo, except maybe in open world where enemies respawn, can't you just craft or buy ammo from nora?
>>737609472But those resources are also used for upgrades so I don't want to waste them on ammo, anyway there shoudnt have been melee weapons in the game, wouldve been much better with a wheel like BioShock and proper balancing with ammo limits
>>737609810I really didn't have a problem with ammo. Energy blast for a while, shock, few slices back again. If there's too many then the gravity blast and then maybe switch to ammo guns. Never made ammo from Nora.
>>737609810I'm I guess somewhat in the middle and I have a lot of ammo stashed
>>737608061shit story,troon

To a tedious degree. Too often enough to make a bad impression.>You were boredTrue enough.>guess you just don't like shooting4 hours in and no shooting was happening. I was still doing melee with mannequin robots. Shooting would've changed something, anything.
It's cringe commie dosgshit.
>>737608617Fair enough. But you could make a clip. If you wanted to. Some people like sharing their gaming like that, though.
>>737575590Knock-off Bioshock with a protag that never shuts up with too hammered in obvious plot twist not-Andrew Ryan is evil. There is no synergy, everything is foam. Annoying crafting system. Samey Soviet brutalist enviroment. Encapsulates the ultimate euro jank: Play it for a laugh then never think about it again.

>>737575921It was good enoughI'm modern era with trash like Astroboy, expedition and Soi of war good enough is great
Hohols really mad about this irrelevant game for some reason.
>>737613153Nope,proud Nazi
>>737613265it's because of the twin robots, they hate anything that men find attractive or beautiful so they attack and get defensive with any game that portraits attractive female characters. you can find the same arguments they make to attack games like Stellar Blade here.
>>737613316>nope
>>737575590>Paid in american dollars>Russian devs paid in rubles>sold enough to keep the lights on the studio for the next decade>sold enough to fund the DLC and sequel and to work on their FPS spinoff and to publish other games since their living costs are so longSeems like it worked out for them.

>>737597410>Stalker 2 is good sequel, I say this as someone who've played all 4 back to backNo it's not. It's a alright stalker themed farcry game, but it fucking blows as a STALKER sequel.
this shit still has denuvo on it?
>>737581874I don't even care who gets wiped off the map anymore. I just want niggers to stop shitting up /k/ and my slav game threads because these two types of slavs are killing eachother.
>>737575590Yanks can't compete with Eastern European development cost efficiency. Why pay 120k dollars annually to some blue haired chick (male) when you can get five Ivans for that?
>>737580373oh wow I had no idea Mick Gordon was involved with this
>>737612661>Samey Soviet brutalist enviroment.That's like design bait for easily impressed morons who play all those crappy indie brutalist architecture exploration games. Grabs a certain audience of zoomers with shitty taste in vidya.
>>737588586no ivan we're still not racist
>>737615663Nah, Atomic Heart actually has a lot put into design.
>>737607151>this game was definitely very cheap to makeI doubt it. Atomic Heart has been in production in some form for over a decade, I think. Even if you don't need to pay Russian devs that much, that adds up.
>>737575590>>737575775you fucking retards have no idea what money laundering evne is and how it works.what money would they launder?and how can you launder money through a video game, you dumb fucking faggiots?

>>737575590>money launderingI think this happens way more often in gaming than we think
>>737580702Times are very grim where the gameplay of this is considered "alright". I remember back when Titanfall 2 released and people were saying that it's campaign was just decent, but these days the kids are saying it's the best campaign ever.
>>737617274Nostalgia sweetens all things. Kids these days say 3D Sonic games and DS Pokemon games are good, because it's dogshit but it's dogshit then grew up with.
>>737617274>>737617401take the good and bitch about the bad
It's good not mid that's why.
>>737618476I only got to play it during that gamepass period (meaning free to some extent) and i went in as blind as possible and it was boring. I'm not going to play the DLCs to find any more about it. My mind is made up.
>>737618570you've got shit taste then
>>737575590Is it so hard to understand it just was a success...?
>>737618612I have good taste so not much phases me anymore. You can't just sell off a mediocre game and expect me to praise it like the second coming of christ. That's what lowers standards. You can't ever just accept average and call it 'decent'.
>>737577492They didnt. 10 million players (including gamepass)
>>737575590>mid Bioshock ripoffAnd yet a better Bioshock than Infinite
>>737618801You're lowering standards by praising kikeslop like bioshock and demeaning actually good games.You're detractor of the hobby.
>>737618895That's not hard to achieve though. Levine is a retard. Not just on the premise of OG Bioshock being an inferior System Shock but Infinite game was just pure laziness in most aspects of all of it's design that it's not an achievement. In comparison to OG Bioshock it was boring though so it didn't win any awards there.
>>737588586concord. that was herman hulst's and jim ryan's money laundering scheme.
>>737619104>You're lowering standards by praising kikeslop like bioshock and demeaning actually good games.You're detractor of the hobby.its inferior to all the bioshocks. unless you really like padded and stretched the fuck out content.
>>737619373That only applies if you try to explore the open world, which is bad. The labs are great and better than anything in Bioshock on design alone.
>>737619373Only thing better in KikeSlop is the greater number of spells and their environmental interactionsNot a single memorable track,not a single good bossfight,the environment stays exactly the same for most of the game,while the shooting,animation and sound design was already bad for its time.You can't even dodge for fucks sake.
>>737619439> The labs are great and better than anything in Bioshock on design alone.most of them are fairly linear romps with almost no exploration in them. they are way more like half life in their design over bioshock. but even then, there's barely anything of quality that sticks out in them. its like they just made a visual museum with their assets and everything else took a step back.like why are there so many props you can get stuck on in the run and gun game? very smart design there.
>>737619801It is shit for many reasons. But the "dungeons" are better than in Bioshock and while that has better open world I actually like the fucktardiness of Atomic Heart's. Actually makes you run instead of just killing everything. I'd need to replay Bioshock for proper comparison but AH isn't bad.
More like Atomic Shart
>>737575590Base game is mid.It is better if you skip entire open-world shenanigans.DLCs straight up remove open-world design and focus on story and combat, each DLC has different set of abilities available making it impossible to run with the same setup and forces you to get creative with new set of abilities.Only 2nd DLC is bad, the rest of DLCs are better than base game and DLCs are priced fairly. These cost very little and they give you at least 5h of gameplay. Each DLC has all-new environments and they're eye candy.
>>737619801>its like they just made a visual museum with their assets this is every videogame
>>737575590them announcing not one but two sequels is certainly a choice
>>737575590It didnt cost 400mln$ to make like AC shadows or Spiderman 2That means that every copy sold after the first half milion is pure profit for the studioIts how every game studio used to operate
>>737575921>This game was in development hell for yearsit wasnt though, the studio was funded and game was made in 5 years, with a single 3 month delaypeople just keep confusing atomic heart, with tech demos the director used to make himself 10 years earlier, makes them think game was in development for twice as long
