👻 Booooh…get fucked!
Actual realistically calculated bullet physics is a big feature of GZW
true. but it still takes a lot of bullets to take down a guy in a muscle shirt. Hope they fix that.
you actually get a coop pve mode right from the get go without any additional costs and you don’t support russian war efforts with buying Gray Zone. So good game so far for me
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
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:
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 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.

it also don’t make it a bad game
Game is sitting on a 6/10 on opencritic, that’s still an okay game for me 😅
I don’t know why opencritic labels it as weak. For me its always 6=okay, 7=good, 8=very good, 9=awesome, 10=Masterpiece…
I know it’s against the meta, but I actually like this game. Get it at a decent price point (got it for 38€) and if the gameplay clicks with you, you will have quiet a fun game. No GOTY participant but surely a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 which in my world is still a good game and not a ‘weak’ one.
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.
People also forget that this was mentioned to investors and not real gamers.
again to investors.
I got it for 38€ and I actually really like it.
To investors who know shit about gaming, not to gamers…maybe he meant the costs which could be in the 4A sector after all this time 😅
Good, hot food has to burn thrice: During eating, when you are on the toilet and also in the eyes of the canalworker in the end.
crossing my fingers for you, although I never saw the difference between one launcher or the other
oh boy I had an 88 in my old email address back in the days cause you know I’m born 1988…glad I ditched that before the twitter mob find out that I’m also german…
really don’t get why this is a story based on some streamer with too much time. Looks more like something to get out of irrelevance if I look at his subscriber numbers…
The game is also looking bland as fuck and it’s only “thing” is the steamboat willi character that has been slapped on for no other reasons than marketing. Seems a little bit desperate if you ask me…
I don’t think it will because it is published by epic
easy little buddy, it’s just a game.
