Time to start posting reviews with:

  • "This game is impossible to win!"
  • "I was told I could take Kyiv in 3 days. I've been playing for 1,190 days and I'm still not even close to Kyiv."
  • "Why is my enemy using smart guided anti tank rockets and my soldiers are riding bicycles and wearing Adidas knock off sneakers into battle?"

Who knows? Maybe the Russian military is out of tactical ideas and trying to crowdsource a military strategy from gamers to take Ukraine because they can't do it themselves.

"Blatant land and money grab with impossible grind. Offers pay 2 win, but even pay 2 win doesn't get you through the grind. I'm selling all the oil I can for in-game currency and it's not even making a dent. Huge rip off"

"In a February 2022 blog post the dev team said they would release a new Kyiv map in 3 days, it hasn't been mentioned ever since"

do they let players choose to be the north korean guys who say fuck this and go look at porn instead?

Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.

The last time a Russian had a cultural achievement that impressed the world they had a tsar. There is nothing worthwhile coming out of Russia anymore.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Nah, the last time they did that was 1985, when Tetris came out.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Tatu were pretty good.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

A tsar? What? I'm not even defending the USSR, but there were great cultural achievements coming out of Russia and the larger USSR, both critical and propaganda, in literature and film.

I wonder how people in the Middle East feel about Call of Duty.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I'm sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the "counter terrorists" on Dust 2 as well.

It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev

Rami Ismail is Dutch but obviously cares about this topic. And when he seems to feel a particularly high level of self loathing, he talks about it online

https://kotaku.com/war-games-muslim-arab-call-of-duty-palestine-1851055848 is a great article that includes quotes from him and discusses the topic at large.

"encounter and interact with civilians“

That’s one way to say SA/shoot them indiscriminately after kidnapping their kids

Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

...

A social media account linked on Steam to the game's developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine's refusal to surrender will provide "a lot of content to make more missions in our game".

I'm pretty sure that qualifies.

Can I shoot my training cadre in the tutorial like those Central Asians did near the start of the war?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I am just surprised that it's not being mass flagged. Very strange.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

The developer better avoid driving any cars lol

Just going to install the game to leave a negative review because if anyone deserves a review bomb it's this.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The ol Ender’s Game approach. Interesting move. Let’s see how it plays out.

Someone needs to do a mod where your armour is tissue thin and there are waves of fibre optic drones coming down at you.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Also, the soldiers are on crutches and there are side missions to loot toilets.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Play it just to sabotage my own teammates.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This game probably sucks. But I do want to play a game where you get the full russian conscript experience. Cruel and incompetent leaders, squad mates you can't communicate with because you don't speak the same language, equipment that doesn't work right or that you are not trained to use making bootleg alcohol that can make you go blind and a button that lets you commit suicide.

I am sick of being special ops or some lame shit in every military game.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm going to pirate it then go and sabotage the ruskis

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I thought to do the same, but I don't want Russian software on my pc. Who knows what backdoors are built in.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Can I smack a downed drone with a missile launcher?
