Do Americans know about Slavic games? - A question to burger kiwis

[BMO_]

Stalker and Metro are extremely popular in Russia (and Ukraine (and Belarus)). It feels like communities of these games are exclusively made out of Slavs. Do American gaymers even know about existence of these games?

 

[Breadbassket]

I'd say they are both known to some extent but are usually heavily overshadowed by the Fallout game series.

No, all media made in the far east is banned in the US because it might hold communist propaganda.

Stalker and Metro are pretty well-known in the US these days, I'd say. They're not at CoD-levels, but they've gotten more popular over time, just not as popular as they are elsewhere. Hell, Metro got all those remasters and whatnot. There are probably loads of more obscure Slav titles from the 2000s that never got attention in the same way.

Don''t you guys just play Counter strike and modified gta san andreas??

You forgot about

• Half-Life
• Heroes of Might and Magic (3, sometimes 2 and >5)
• World of Tanks/Warships
• Dota
• Shitty mobile games by Supercell

My favorite Slavic game is Hide the Kielbasa.

americans gave up on slavic games when they tried gothic 2 they didnt know how to pick up items from the ground and gave up + they thought the turnip picking quest to be racist

The big Slavic game company that most people are aware of is CD Project Red.

 

[Blackstar]

Witcher & Cyberpunk are both massive games

 

[break these cuffs]

Stalker has had a resurgence because of youtube videos using mega mods like Gamma. It's likely more popular now than at release simply because there are more people who play games. Games like Gothic, Witcher, and Stalker always had followings from people who thought of themselves as "real gaymers", but your average Skyrim enjoyer like DSP's wife probably never played them.

 

[AnsemSoD1]

Unfortunately, yes.

HROT is a pretty respectable czech boomer shooter. Does that count?

They shit up pretty much any F2P game along with Brazilians.

"Attention S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S., come to 100 Rads Bar!"

Yeah i've played it. It was very realistic. However, there comes a point where realism = boring.

There are computers in Eastern Europe?

Hahaha kys nigger not a fucking chance.

But yea I found the stalker series kind of boring generic shooters. I don't care how open world and rng they are, still feels like a linear shooter.

Stalker is so low spec it runs on the scalp of a russian bald man.

 

[Peanut Butter in Peril]

The first Metro game. Other than that, I haven't really played any slav jank.

 

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

Tetris is a slavshit game, everyone knows tetris

 

[OrionBalls]

My Papa taught me how to play "find the pickle" In the Christmas tree, you fucking perverts! Does that count?
