I heard that the game sucks you through your monitor and uploads you straight to the Ukranian front lines.

The Bloodsuckers in the game do more than just suck blood UwU

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 10 months ago

They also suck up your ammo!

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 10 months ago

Please, no more. You've survived 40 buckshots.

Reverse Wonka-Vision

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 40 points 10 months ago

I bought a copy out of spite lol

[-] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

I'm honestly tempted even though it's not my kind of game at all.

There's really nothing like it.

Stalker takes all of the advantages games normally give you and crush it down to "You ain't important, bullet-cushion."

Firefights feel like they have stakes and risk is intense. Nothing that happens can just be shaken off, everything needs attention. It's not a normal FPS.

I recall another game being used to draft the player.

I mean, don’t the call of duty developers openly collaborate with the military to increase recruitment? Hollywood sure as hell does.

Great movie, btw.

So... Uh... I didn't know that Chernobyl was spelled different in Ukrainian and thought they just made a typo on the title screen of the game when I saw "Heart of Chornobyl."

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 22 points 10 months ago

They changed the spelling after the war started. IIRC they removed the Russian VO as well.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 10 months ago

I didn't expect too much difference in the voices, as I wouldn't be able to tell Russian from Ukrainian (or even an accent) but it is weird hearing British and sorta kinda American accents all over the place after coming from the previous 3 games. It's like "Aw sweet, the Zone is multinational now!"

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I had to switch to the Ukrainian VO almost immediately.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh man... Y'all are missing PRIME meme content without Richter's English audio.

"We had a helluva TIIIIIIMMMME!"

[-] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Richter’s English VO is just so cheesy I love it man.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 10 months ago

Dammit am I gonna have to buy this game now just to give Russia the middle finger again?

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 8 points 10 months ago

Russian disinfo is so nefarious it gets Trump elected but at the same time it barely musters a shit opinion on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Sounds totally legit and not a shit capitalisation on the Ukrainian suffering for page views. *slow clap

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Within psyops it's much easier to amplify competing ideologies than it is to create new ones. Trump is the former, where information by stupid people gets amplified. This Stalker 2 campaign is the latter, where new information is created out of thin air.

[-] Viri4thus@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

Or, maybe, there's no conspiracy and someone just spouted bs, ya know, Tuesdays.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well you could have just said that, instead of raising a comparison which does not really hold up.

But yes, I don't believe everything on the internet either.

[-] dankm@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Worst I've heard about this game is it lacks some of the charming "soul" of the original. That's not enough to keep me from buying it after Christmas, though.

[-] funnything@lemmings.world 3 points 10 months ago

I've been called a russian troll for saying the slightest thing about america. Now I don't buy that shit lmao

Shouldn't have cried wolf
