So why don't they make any good games

So why don't they make any good games.
At all?

Literally all their games are freemium cash grabs involving tanks.

I thought they're all super hackers on steroids yet they can't make a single good game?

No one post Russian games in this thread we cant let this pleb know the truth

Too busy smuggling daily bread, cigarettes, and wodka.

They're vermin on the level of BRs.

They used to make good games in 00s, but that's it. Game development is expensive, and not viable in their economy.
The only good thing I can think of that is currently being made there is Escape from Tarkov, but hell knows how it'll turn out in the end.

Back in 2000-2008 Russia could spawn some nice titles. Maybe not AAA+ but still pretty enjoyable

And when its about multi... well nearly everygame have problems with 4 nations. hacking and cheating russians, Brazillian behaviour, China slavebots and farm and Polish ultratoxic community. Turkey lost his position to Poles. they mostly calmed down or play under german flag

They make good mods tho

> Game development is expensive, and not viable in their economy.
opposite should be the case
low wages and therefore lower cost, but they can sell it worldwide for regular price, and therefore make more money in comparison to their countrymen

>Russia
>China
>The Saudis
>Israel
why none of this rich as fuck superpowers or near-superpowers makes games?

ah, but where are these coders, developers, testers, artists, and producers going to come from? And what facilities and computers will the work in? And what banks can they use to finance and pay for this work? And what publisher can they find to market and sell this game? Russia has none of these.

not part of the culture, survival more important, or just not intelligent enough population in Saudi's case

>Space Rangers

That's not a russian game

>genetically retarded

>socially retarded beyond repair
>would YOU play an Israeli indie game, knowing it's 99% sure to be a white guilt trip or an excuse to take a break from shooting real Palestinians to shoot digital ones?

Saudis are smart enough to hire foreigners more intelligent to do all the work for them

Dude, they made fucking Tetris.

Also made Sea Dogs, Blitzkrieg, IL-2 Sturmovik, HoMM 5 and King's Bounty.

But yeah, most Russians simply run away to make games elsewhere because the place is a shithole.

Ah, right. Confused it with another game whose name I cannot remember anymore.

dude china makes hundreds of games every year

Well, they have plenty of programmers, just working in areas other than games. And those positions are well paid, so there is little incentive to switch to gamedev that is traditionally underpaid.
There is also quite a lot of artists, but they mostly work remotely for foreign companies or have emigrated.

The economic disconnect with the rest of the world is the serious issue. That's why some studios in Russia and Ukraine have closed and re-opened in EU countries.

I live in Western Europe but I learnt programming on the internet while I was a neet to make video games. It's a hard process but it's possible and now I work at a marketing company as a programmer. Most Russians are probably neets as well, and at least some of them should be smart or hardworking enough to learn and make things.

>hire
is also the most populated country on earth with more people than the US and Europe combined

yeah just not the ones we play, mostly Asia only mobile stuff

Also, they have two major software publishers - 1C and Buka. They have been seriously pushed by Steam since late 00s, but even so are alive and kicking, and try to create inconveniences for gamers by "handling" region locked games. Which extends outside of Russia, and fucks over people in Eastern Europe.

Slav hacking skills can only get you so far

kek

>7.62 high Caliber

>Hard West
>Space Rangers

>Space Wolves
>Cops 2170: power of the Law
>Silent Storm
>Soldiers of Anarchy

Russians make got-tier turn-based and RTwP tactical games, Western games can barely compete in this category. Even if you take JA2 and XCOM games, they suck monkey dick compared to the aforementioned titles, when it comes to actual gameplay. 7.62 and Marauder are so good, they validate the existence of whole RTwP squad based tactics genre nowadays, since Commandos is dead as fuck and Shadow Tactics is barely worth playing.

Hard West is Polacks though.

literally never heard of any of these so called """games"""

>tfw to poor and communist to make videogames

>Witcher series
Those are good games you fucking faggot OP

Because their creators were more concerned with making a good game rather than making a good marketing """project"""

>Witcher
>Russians

Are you stupid?

...

This.

Most really old games still have active communities in Poland and Russia, even with clans and all that shit.

So if you're playing an old game like Diablo1 and are looking for additional content the chances are 90% that it was created by a Slav.

>Based on books by russian author
>Made by russian studio
>Not russian
Poor bait, but 3/10 for getting me to reply

Tech costs money
Licenses costs money
Hardware costs money
People and offices are just part of the deal when you focus on western audience. Only a few able to compete successfully enough to allow the development of their own engines nowadays.

Shadow Tactics is a great game.
soon

>polacks=russian
Are you nigger or what?

>Well, they have plenty of programmers, just working in areas other than games. And those positions are well paid, so there is little incentive to switch to gamedev that is traditionally underpaid.
This is the real reason why there aren't many Russian games. If you can code while living in Russia, you would be literally fucking retarded to go into Russian gamedev and work for pennies, because you can earn actually good money by Russian standards doing non-gamedev coding.

Only programmer rejects go into gamedev in Russia.

sounds like ignorance on your end friendo, I've heard of many of them but never played one

>the quality of a game is based upon my knowing it exists, and man am I ever ignorant

He probably also considers Ukrainians as Russians. I am surprised some shithead hasnt said S.T.A.L.K.E.R., too.

Communism is anti-art

Buka is nearly dead and only lives through outsourcing translations and helping AA devs get their monies. 1C is mostly a business software company, they don't get a lot through gayming anymore.
The 2008 crisis fucked every dev and publisher and current economical situation doesn't offer a lot of space for even indies to flourish, let alone big devs and shit.

WHy makes game when you can't even eat in the first place?

We own you now so who cares

Next all your games will banned because homosexual fucking in all of your games

Fuck you

lol look at this faggot.

Ukraine was literally a German invention in WW1 in order to weaken Russia. Both groups are the same genetically.

Here are some (You)s for trying you samefagging faggot

So why do Ukrainians and Russians hate each other so much? Or why did Russia specifically target Ukraine when it comes to forced starvation in the 30s?

>hurr genetics when people are talking about nations

>hurr my samefag boggie man. I've seen a lot newfag of redditor say (you) as sick burn so I'll say the same

>Ukraine was literally a German invention in WW1 in order to weaken Russia. Both groups are the same genetically.
Same shit with Poland. Look up polish borders before WW2, it was all the land russia lost after WW1

>Both groups are the same genetically.
Varg said that Russians are mostly Finns and that Ukrainians are something else, can't remember what. Language and culture doesn't say much about where you're from, African Americans speak English as well.

>target
Ukraine was the biggest food producer in the USRR when famine came they just took EVERYTHING from them to distribute it in the rest on the union.

Because Russians are niggers painted white.

It's like asking why there are so few good Ethiopian games.

Are you retarded by any chance?
Though you might be ukrainian.

People that know nothing shouldn't talk about history.
There are no good Ethiopian games in contrast to a good number of interesting Russian ones.

Ukraine literally means borderlands. Borderlands between Eastern orthodox Europe and catholic western Europe. People in it are divided between being Europeans and being Russians to even greater degree than Russians themselves.

They are still niggers painted white. Maybe more like the French.

Holy shit dude

So?

North Koreans and South Koreans are largely the same "genetically" but I wouldn't say Tera is was by Kim Jong Un.

eh

There is a difference when it comes to North and South Korea. They are still the same nation unlike Ukraine and Russia.

There's also the King's Bounty franchise and the fact that HOMMV, which is the second best game in the franchise, was made by Russians as well.

>biggest country on earth
>most of it is just filled with nothing

Why did you guys invade Ukraine anyways? I mean. I doubt you need 0.001% more land to fill with nothing.

People don't realize it but Russia wants to take over the world. Hence why they are also sponsoring all those right-wing countries in the West.

>right-wing countries in the West
*parties

To protect the brave Ethnic Russian People from Bandera nazifashist

(spoiler) Warm water port and stimulus for the populus (/spoiler)

Poles are a legit ethnic group lad, just because they lost their country doesn't mean they stopped being polish, otherwise czechs would all be considered germans.

Putin wanted to build an oil pipeline and the only alternative was building it through Turkish waters.

The point seems moot since the invasion of Crimea ended up with Russia being widely ostracized from world politics. They got thrown out of the G8, and the sanctions imposed on them by other nations that've yet to be lifted caused an economic collapse that doubled inflation almost overnight and is still ongoing. Literally all that saved them was their ownership of the third-largest USD stockpile in the world.

>Why did you guys invade Ukraine anyways?
The invaded and took the only strategically relevant part of Ukraine. Crimea is literally an unsinkable "aircraft carrier" that allows Russian strategic missile carrier aircraft to control the entire black sea.

Russia doesn't give two fucks about the rest of Ukraine, though.

Do they have a single original bone in their body?

Because video games are a luxury good and thus not seen as necessary under governments that have embraced communism. Most video games tend to come from counties that have large, free market based economies with large technology sectors such as Japan, US, and UK.

>Ukranians made great games
>Belarus made great games
>we literally can't

what's wrong with us rubros, how do we make rugamedev great

Tencent does, they have a good amount of shares into companies like Activision-Blizzard and Epic Games.

They even have the rights to develop and publish their own Monster Hunter game.

it's 2017 not 1917
the russian government isnt communist.

Don't worry Pathologic was great.

Is this how people are going to rationalize it when they steamroll through ukraine and poland?
literal cucks

the government is, the economy is not

>the russian government isnt communist.
Yeah except every important person in it being a KGB agent president included.

>take all the energy of trying to become North Korea 2.0 and put it towards making video games and other shit that can build your nation culturally

Done and done.

yes

>Yeah except every important person in it being a KGB agent president included.
Implying that's bad.

Well. Have you looked at Russia?

in what way are they communist?
it's a oligarchy ruled by a technoelite formed from the remnants of the soviet union, this doesnt make them communist or even socialist.
they are bleeding the country dry while playing their political opponents against eachother.

honestly watch this, it explains the current situation in russia pretty well.
youtube.com/watch?v=-fny99f8amM

>in what way are they communist?
huge government
almost total control
surviellance
no real elections
and this

Man, I wish

nothing of those are inherently communist

That's the way it should be but only dumb liberashkas want this shit.

To be fair. That is just as much fascism as communist.

Or just authoritarianism in general.

>Russia could be a great country of great people who strive to improve their own lands and be a bulwark against Eurasia being cock-monglers
>Instead they'd rather steal shit, pick fights with basically everyone that isn't a small, neighboring country afraid of them and be the ones putting everyone on edge with a threat of war, while accusing everyone else of meddling in their affairs

Heт!
