Russian role playing video game 'The Troubles'

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] "The Troubles" is released.

The game was financed by the state, allocating a rather modest 5 million rubles.
(~ USD $50,000)



Maybe I'll see what happened this weekend.

Based on the videos, I got the following impressions.

Pros:

1. Graphics
2. Historical setting
3. Costumes

Cons:

1. Crazy combat.
2. Mediocre animations
3. Strange facial expressions of characters in dialogues.

The authors stated that they expected to sell 500,000 copies. So let's see if the overhyped "Smoot" can repeat the success of "Atomic Heart".

More from the game website (all in Russian):
[WARGM.ru] Now you can plunge into the historical adventures of boyar Yuri Miloslavsky in Russia in 1612 in the new role-playing game "Troubles" from the studio Cyberia Nova. The official release of the game for PC has already taken place, and it will try to become a worthy competitor to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
A "good boyar"
Travel with the young boyar Yuri Miloslavsky to 1612 to fight enemy troops, bandits and wild animals, meet historical figures and overcome difficult trials.

You will have to explore impenetrable forests and swamps, penetrate caves full of traps, visit cities, complete story missions and face intrigue, treachery and betrayal.

“Troubles” is already available in the VK Play store at a price of 2,015 rubles. In addition, everyone can download the Time of Troubles project for free, which is a gaming and educational tool, as well as a kind of demo version of the game.
USD $21.84 Biden bucks a copy.

#10  Fine looking trailer, game play bits looked fine. What an untouched gaming environment, at least to Westerners (if you will).

Speaking of games which don't sweet baby pander;
People selling moral patches for Helldivers II.

#9  No, Julia Garner is official, even got all the press rolling to justify the decision you H8TRs!

Far from me to comment on someone's personal tastes...but if I said 14 year old gamer boy...

#8  Well, if true to the comic book appearance, the costume should look good on a properly shaped female.

Which just means they'll probably cast Britant Greiner in the part.

#5  Along the lines of AAA Gaming news, SBI and all that; apparently Julia Garner is cast as Silver Surfer.

I'm a Normie in comic books, I'd guess that Silver Surfer can take whatever form, but all my exposure is a male Silver Surfer. So to me, it looks like:

Disney "put a chick in it..."
