Isn't this lazy? Titties and ass with no face. Will the game have good gameplay and story to compensate?

Exactly. I'd forgive it if the gameplay was good but it's some of the worst shit I've ever played.

At the same time, it is a visual cornucopi of soviet inspired sci fi

Not to mention that it doesn't really seem to be critical of communism at all based on what I've played so far. The beginning of the game is literally "look at all this cool shit that the soviet union made, now go nonlethally stop the guy whose trying to actively ruin it before it helps all of humanity fulfill its potential"

Compare to bioshock which from the very start is like "we had an idea and it failed tremendously"

That's cool.
I'm still curious if the ending sucks and they do the liberal "both sides bad" thing.

FUD. You play a dedicated, devout communist just going to manage a facility and everyone is doing completely fine and communism is winning and successful. You even get reminders to treat prisoners like people.

 No.26434

>>26432
The message at the end of the game is that communism is utopian and will always fail while "showing" the liberal alternative as being preferable if not put on a pedestal. So no there's no "both sides" messaging. This game was what Call of Duty is for beating the America drum as a criticism of communism in general by berating everything and every aspect of communism; in other words this game is a liberal propaganda piece.

In Bioshock you're also taught to treat the little sisters well and basically not be an asshole. I fear you have an inability to critically engage with art. If in a game you play a communist agent and the game reminds you to treat liberal political prisoners well with the consequence of it being that anti capitalists get off Scott free then what IS the game telling you?

The game says "treat the prisoners well, at least they aren't nazis".

What surprised me the most in the story: mid-game reveal on communist plot to take over the world doesn't lead to any disscusion, unlike other secrets. Only one major character against it, everyone else thinks it's a right thing but must be done properly.

The bad ending is you find out that all the bad stuff was made up my a manipulating glove intelligence, you die and humanity does so too later. The good ending is you leave the USSR for an undetermined amount of time, crisis averted, and the collective 2.0 launch continues. Where did you get the "Communism inevitably fails" from.

I smell that they've cut the original game idea, judging by the title they've chosen - Atomic Heart - being an in-game reference to that plot to take over the world.

I haven't seen much of this game but it seems right up my alley. It kinda reminds me of Black Dynamite, willing to risk being cringe to execute some fun jokes more prudent works couldn't. Probably why reddit hates it so much.

Uh, I know the Ukraine govt is against the game, but the game has investments from the GEM group, which seems to be pro Ukraine. So I'd still pirate it (it's beyond my budget anyway) if you don't wanna accidentally fund NATO.

Modern version of this. Replace zombie tits with Robo booba. It plays like a Soviet version of Bioshock infinite, bad open world with linear dungeons. It's not an imsim but a good creative shooter. The powers thing was a half baked addition.

Played the first level or two and I got bored tbh. Gameplay feels kind of janky, just not interested. Plot isn't grasping either, the main draw is the aesthetics and you see all that in the intro. There's a lot of soybanter too between the main char and his sidekick. I did enjoy the upgrade machine being openly sexual/rapey though, that was amusing.

Unless you like a more polished version of early 2000s slavjanks, you would hate it. It reminded me a lot of Singularity. Especialy with the slideshow style endings.

Played this with my friends for 4-5 hours, the start was nice and the environments are cool, but my fucking god, I can't believe nobody else has mentioned how insufferable the main character is, it's literally like Bulletstorm but non ironic, he talks to people like he has learning difficulties.

Also, the fact that everyone has an American accent is obnoxious, you don't have to go full Metro and have everyone with stereotypical Slav accents but if you're not going to do that then at least some nice and clean Britishy accents like Chernobyl or similar.

Overall the game was ok, not great not terrible, it also crashed during loading in one place (multiple reloads) and needed to reload from earlier save, and another time it soft locked during loading and needed to restart. We also got stuck on terrain and died to enemies/needed to reload a few times.

Overall, fairly bizarre design decisions.

Russian voice acting and sub are the way to go. For "immersion" and for the sake of ones nerves.

I think I would have to do that if I played alone yeah, I prefer a good sounding dub but what can you do.

 No.26541

watching the VoDs of Moist Critical playing it, I think I might play if there's ever a mod that reworks the dialogue around having a silent protagonist, and just making the game less wordy in general, since it kinda babies you out of piecing the lore together yourself. Unless you have a very good reason for it protagonists shouldn't speak outside of cutscenes. They should've done the Portal thing and just let the glove do the talking.

>Soviet system good. Soviet bureacracy bad. Your boss wanting to build hivemind robo communism good. The purged dissiden liberals lie and will betray you.

That's Russian outlook on USSR, basically. It's very Stalkerish in a sense - a tragedy of an utopia rather than a deranged horror story of a hellhole being deceitfully presented as an utopia as was Bioshock. Also, boss was hiding things from you because he was either afraid to tell or it was for the better good (just how doctors won't tell their patients some things)

I did russian voice acting + english subs (as my russian is only basic), it is bearable that way and at least you can pick up on some of the wordplay that you'd miss otherwise since the translation is kinda tragic
