Atomfall - Rebellion makes MetroSTALKEROut set in the British Countryside

[Vassal]

IGN hates it. Time to take a look.

Do they? I read their review of it and it didn't strike me as being overly critical or anything. Though, it only got an 8/10, I guess that's close enough. (oh wait, so did AC:Shadows, lol!) Is the video review more critical or something?

Looks good and I have had it on my Wishlist for a while. But after dealing with STALKER 2 I am concerned this will be more UE5 slop. Also concerned it will be full of Ray Tracing nonsense and it will run like shit or need DLSS and frame gen to run properly.

I'm not preordering.

Just did a Google search and it's using Asura not UE5. So hopefully it won't run like garbage and look like shit.

62 feels pretty low, considering they gave Kingdom Come 2 a 90 and AC:S an 80 (If you've played one Ubislop game, you've played them fucking all.), so bodes pretty well for Atomfall. (Different authors and different tastes come into play though.)

Some things I picked up on. The author seems to consider it a negative that the game simply states the facts rather than angling it one way or the other.

Worse, that aesthetic never goes any further than window dressing. Where Fallout uses its setting for satire, skewering capitalism, Cold War paranoia, nuclear proliferation and political regimes, Atomfall simply mentions these things, almost in passing. It doesn't actually have anything to say about them.

The author then states:

It's competently made, and I'll never say no to the opportunity to do some detective work (I once considered setting up a private investigator firm with my dog)

So he's either retarded or playing into the le heckin quirky guy persona.

"You didn't appeal to my retarded political worldview and instead merely gave me a fun game? Well, that's 3 points off your review, buddy! Better try that again next time!"

He's a game journalist, so he's only interested in the modern audience.

Didn't one of the original Fallout creators outright state that the franchise isn't a critique of capitalism but rather anti-war instead?

I'm now very tempted by Atomfall if it is indeed letting the player come to their own conclusions instead of pushing a specific narrative. It's a refreshing stance and largely what made older games more compelling than their modern counterparts.

Kinda, I think it was supposed to be about the inevitability of war because humans just work that way. "War... war never changes."

Though to be fair, the people who look at a universe like Fallout and think "Damn capitalists!" aren't the ones who're going to be thinking beyond the surface level of whatever information they're provided.

This "man" looks like he inject pure soy directly into his veins.

Actually, he kinda looks like Nick Rekieta's retarded hipster cousin.

if that's their own engine it ran pretty well in the past, dunno in a full open world game tho.

It's not actually open world, it's a series of linked maps. They've had decent sized maps in the Sniper Elite games so I'm cautiously optimistic.

What I'm less optimistic about is the voice acting, the latest Sniper Elite is like an episode of Allo Allo with the piss poor french accents, and a lot of what I've seen of Atomfall seems awfully "apple and pears me old china, it's chewsday!" for a game that's set in 1960s Cumbria.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

The Resistance doesn't have a snowballs chance in Hell of being portrayed accurately. If it was, it'd be a 50-way civil war of gangsters fighting each other and only very occasionally the Nazis.

Which sounds absolutely hilarious and worth plating

I would rather see more games set in the 70s, it's a really underused era in gaming. You can have more modern technology but still have it be retro, I'm thinking everybody is going for 50s and 60s only because Fallout and Bioshock got so big.

The 1970s is a great setting for GTA/True Detective clones that hasn’t been used, both aesthetically and specifically for cars.

I’m fairness that practically every autist on this board when they talk about KC2 or BG3.

I recently finished KC2 and I actually liked it a lot. There were a couple things I really could have done without, but overall it was a positive, fun experience with less jank than the first game.

a hypothetical sequel to la noire could be set in the very late 60s/early 70s, maybe have a protagonist who served briefly in vietnam

 

[Jace on ice]

I'm mildly interested in this but even the positive reviews say it looks and plays like AA eurojank. Something you pay $20 for not $70.

Them and the breadtubers were all malding. They were screaming death of the author. Anyone who is isn't retarded or a wing cuck can tell Fallouts theme is people are shit.
