Yea I don't think I'm going to get this one. Even the based reviewers are saying it's about a 5/10. Plus Like a Dragon Ishan and Wu Long are coming out and I'll love those based on past experiences with Yakuza and Nioh.
It's very visually interesting but that's not enough to justify a purchase.
I don't think it's that really like the Russian dub kinda shows the main character isn't some stoic badass hero or something, he's a regular soldier/guy so, of course, he's gonna swear up and down like a sailor or spit lines to keep his brain in check.
1. You're the one making this claim that actual war veterans are le tumblr bullshit.
2. As opposed to what kind of other "yank faggot."
3. tf is up with you and yanks. Maybe stop yanking yourself off.
Like seriously, no one's going to kill your army fanfic, they just want this dumbass to not talk every 5 seconds. Or at the least long enough so WE CAN FUCKING LISTEN TO THE LORE.
I had to be careful early game but its obvious theres a huge power curve, I’m already starting to smash on enemies even though they are pretty damn dangerous
If you pay attention to the tidbits of lore its real interesting
From what I can tell, it’s a world where the United States didn’t join World War II, so it never became a global superpower, and there was this disease called the brown plague that the Nazis created, that wiped out like half of Europe and 150 million people in the Soviet Union. Following this, the Soviets subsequently discovered polymer technology and built this like neural polymer stuff that lets you inject information into your brain, and the Soviet Union has seen rapid technological development since. And it becomes obvious that while the game says it was the Nazis who released the brown plague, that’s definitely not what actually happened.
My biggest complaint is that I hate the BDSM refrigerator. That shit is getting old, but I don’t think the dommy mommy refrigerator is a permanent fixture of the game. I think it’s just the first area. And the game clearly knows it’s annoying because the main character also hates the refrigerator.
The game’s exploration is very good. There’s lots of hidden stuff to find, which enables you to craft more things and expedite the onset of the power curve.

Again, dunno how it is with Yank veterans, Russian ones kinda have different behavior when they're in combat or off duty, they aren't above making lewd, dumb, or even referential jokes. Though, I can agree that even with me gettin' this type of humor it does go overboard, but never felt THAT annoying to me and I got the lore stuff easily.
This is lunacy at it's best, but thing is slavs are actually complete and total schizos when it comes to occult stuff. Insane shit like "The Russians actually used a Nuke to defeat Napoleon in 1812" "The ancient polish empire of Lechnia" "The tartarian mud flood that wiped out the antideluvian humanity" "We are actually the Hyperboreans" and all. There is a huge lack of understanding of this in the west because most of the people who talk about it do it all in Russia and the local slav languages, never bothering to translate anything to englsh. And even if you translate it is so heavy with slang and little quirks it doesn't really help, like a cockney type of meme.
I remember when the whole UAxRU shitshow started seeing some people show off Telegram messages about how Putin was attacking Ukraine because he was scared shitless that Zelensky's presidency was lining up with a prophecy and it just went on and on with this entire fucking occult lore about how the planes were flying in rune formations and the Z was part of a ritual and shit.
Then on the other side you have the ruskies going full /pol/ and making a shitload of insane connections and shit about occult and secret societies, how Zelensky was literally bathing on the blood of Russian kids kidnapped from Donetsk and Talmudic connections on financial deals.
Very cool lore to be honest. Makes the whole thing sound a lot more interesting than it actually is.

God don't remind me of this shit, I can bring up so many retarded books about this bs that people in Russia laugh at and cringe at, same with that whole shit about Zelensky.
I got as far as the open world area and the respawns are really killing this for me. They need to be like 10x or even 20x longer. Also some enemies seem like they were made to be annoying, esp. the small ones.
If you aren't a dummy triggering L2 alarms the only thing that respawns are the repair drones, right? Which aren't exactly fast at repairing other bots unless you let them swarm. And they go down in one zap so it doesn't cost ammo either (in fact they'll feed you neuropolymer XP forever if you want). Overloading the ecosystem shuts nearly everything down and it takes em like 10 minutes to repair the power source which I thought was pretty generous.
You're just meant to stay moving on the overworld, otherwise. If a camera spots you then you probably have twenty seconds before nearby bots arrive, and you can use this to your advantage to pull enemies away from places you need to do stuff too if you don't feel like shutting down the uplink. So I don't really get this complaint. You can be slow and methodical in labs; above ground you loot and scoot.

Yeah I'm liking it way more on hard mode. I was surprised that enemies aren't any spongier (there might be slightly less weak point damage though?), they just fight a lot more aggressively.
Nora doesn't go away but I think it's just the early ones that are sex units, the rest are mere crafting dispensers. But she's a horny network and all the other NPCs hate her too.
This game is ridiculously 2010. Everything about it screams that time period of games. It's a pretty alright 360 shooter with decent graphics. Dead island with Borderlands humor. Voice acting is bad, there's no breathing room between lines so it sound like everyone is rushing the script. No FOV slider so game is awkwardly claustrophobic. Looting animation is sex though.
Combat is slow and heavy, which is cool. Although they give you a gun with infinite ammo in the beginning and an alt fire that stuns/insta kills everything in front of you, so maybe a little on the easy side. Powers being on individual cooldowns instead of a mana system is interesting though.
Actually like the dommy mommy crafting tub. She shows up sporadically and it livens things up. Hot robo twins only show up for like 20 min, so that's a strike against for deceitful marketing. Dead npcs are fucking useless waste of time. Don't talk to them.
So far it's fun, but I don't see myself playing it twice.

Oh yeah of course it remains the upgrade / crafting station, but I'm not even out of the lab yet and there's already parts of the lab (the areas where Victor wasn't up to his shenanigans) where the NORA terminals aren't weird sex robots. The explanation they give is that Victor wanted to stop soldiers from arming themselves against what he was doing, because to not corrupt NORA would run the risk of the soldiers stopping him. So I was guessing that NORA isn't this weird sex robot outside of that initial lab.
I had found a funny thread that got deleted, saved a few screens, should've screened the whole thread but I was already in bed and tired.
But what I'm curious is... which one of you jokers is SNEED?
Reminds me of a quote from Battlefield 3: "America was founded by terrorists, for terrorists. What do you think the fucking Revolutionary War was?"
Honestly they aren't wrong. I still find it amusing that people are losing their shit over a game with nebulous connections to Russia, and who refuse to make a statement on something that they're not fucking required to in the first place.

All the big dicks crushing Armageddon might want to double check the options menu. My difficulty setting keeps changing back down to Local Malfunction when loading.
