If you're a Chechen, an Ukrainian or just dislike Russia, like me, then chances are very high you want to avoid buying products made in Russia, because less tax dollars for Putin means less nuclear ICBMs targeted at peaceful countries.
Russian software products are also of rather shoddy quality, compared to western and asian ones. As a person, who lived in Russia for more than 30 years, I can give numerous explanations on why Russian products are non-competitive, but the discussion could easily take a good book on economics and/or sociology, particularly explaining the value of contractual agreement and honoring it, which Russians don't particularly like.
So lets make a list of Russian RPG games, so you can step over them on GOG and Steam, without wasting your precious time and brain cells.
- Pathfinder Kingmaker. This one appears to be some cheesy Baldur's Gate clone, probably botching the game. Haven't played it and have no plans. Would recommend Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, which improves graphics and adds additional content to the beloved classic RPG. And lets hope Bethesda gets the license to make AAA Baldur's Gate 3, on their acclaimed Fallout 4 engine, would be cool to explore Forgotten Realms in the first person and build your own castle like in the Sims :) - King's Bounty. Don't confuse with the actually good van Caneghem's game of the same name. Russian King's Bounty series ruined the original game's core mechanics, adding the nonsense where you save and reload to run around mobs and various other tasteless gimmicks. There is also no turns limit, forcing you to carefully plan your actions: instead of jumping into desert, costing 1 day to move a cell, you would rather find a boat and sail by the sea. - Rage of Mages. Horrible Warcraft 2 clone with RPG elements, retarded portraits and ugly graphics, but without base buildings. That was before Blizzard showed with their Warcraft 3 how to properly embed RPG elements into an RTS. - Evil Islands. More retarded character portraits. The protagonist looks like an actual mongol chronic drunk, who for some reason bleached his hair so much it became white. Near the end player learns that the game's protagonist is actually mongol, but lost his bow and horse. That is the Russian take on Planescape Torment's amnesia cliche. On the release the game was very slow and buggy, despite having one of the ugliest 3d graphics. Evil Islands features atrocious combat mechanics, where you must save and reload like constantly, the following video pretty much summarizes it (TRIGGER WARNING: it is painful to watch): youtube.com/watch?v=bOCtp94TRSI
- Heroes of Malgrimia. Atrocious Heroes of Might & Magic 3 clone with worse everything. Graphically looks like a disguisting puke. Depicted on the attached picture down below. - King's Bounty 2. Another shitfest from the developer of Heroes of Malgrimia. Basically van Caneghem's KB clone with Russia related additions (read birch trees, vodka and embedded tetris). - Disciples 3. A classic game botched by Russians, adding birch trees and vodka. Its only purpose is to act like a shock content. When Disciples 2 fan sees Disciples 3 is like a mother sees her little toddler baby rapped by a gang of HIV infested pedophiles. - Etherlords. Outright Magic the Gathering copyright and patent infringement with RPG elements. Luckily the garbage is so obscure enough, WotC was saved from suing them, saving some money on lawyers. - Heroes of Might and Magic 5. Another botched game. But with more birch trees and even more vodka. UbiSoft had some rotting IP and decided to put it to use, yet due to the game being niche, UbiSoft allocated a minuscule budget for it and outsourced it to Russia, instead of hiring van Caneghem and his former team at least as experts. Compared to van Caneghem games, which in each new iterations brought something new, the Russian one is just a blatant clone of Heroes 3 with russified graphics and dialogue. Had I been Ubisoft, I would have licensed the IP back to van Caneghem or one of his accomplices under some profit sharing license instead. - Eador. A shoddily made Disciples clone, with worse graphics and broken game mechanics. Obviously it doesn't have the beautiful Disciples artstyle. Unfortunately it also doesn't a have the Disciples title, so no drama or butthurt, just a worthless piece of trash.
- I of the Dragon. Horrible Magic Carpet clone with 1000 hours of grinding, resulting from its "RPG" part. Compared to Magic Carpet it has absolutely zero fun or any attention to detail. Chief director surname "Petukhov" literally translated from Russian as "rooster". I.e. Peter the Rooster. It is really hard to live with a surname like that in Russia, where the word "rooster" is synonymous with passive homosexual. - Legend of the North: Konung. Russian Baldur's Gate. Worst of the worst unplayable garbage. Stay away as far as you can.
Now you may believe that Stalker is a Russian game, but Stalker is in fact Ukrainian, and it is more of an FPS, than RPG anyway, similarly to Fallout 3. Ukrainians in general are very poor and so were unable to afford computers at the time when these fossil RPGs were popular, playing Chinese NES clones instead, therefore Ukraine is not infected with any kind of that retarded hate for Skyrim and Fallout 4. Ukrainian games are more consumer friendly.
Dear KOTakus, ignore this thread. This idiot shits on our Russian imageboards, we call this process - zasiraniye nullevoy and this pidornutiy(pwned person) now shitting here take care about Jow Forums ignore and sage
At least it has no fucking tonns of bugs and fan base of Vasia_666_Salker_Strel0k_1999-like bydlo It makes this game way much better than every Ukrainian RPG ever created.

God damn, you're that same faggot who pushes for Russia to accept faggotry. Off yourself.
Colton Young
Serbia, you seem to be craving for the second Belgrad bombing. Hope NATO troops would allow Albanians to rape your serbian women-whores, when all you cuckold-men die. Serbians are the worst scum of Europe.
Yep, he's butthurt nobody wants to accept his asskissing of westerners.

Leave to Jow Forums then, or get yourself a proxy

*Jow Forums doesn't allow any unrelated politota Fixed As i said, that retard on telegram deserved it, but a bunch of innocent YT commenters definitely didn't. Good job ruining what was left of your public image.
Josiah Young
Jow Forums also bans for calling to open borders and allow all immigrants in.
well it clearly was made by Ukrainians who venerated something Russian, meaning that they don't share the same autistic hatred that you do. Also, you are trying to call Russians worthless when you mention something based on a great work of Russian art.
I understand the shit that has gone and is going on between Ukraine/Ukrainians and Russia, but your hatred/denial of a whole culture/people because of it is stupid.
Stuff like the setting and he addition of action may also be different, but it's still has a lot of the core things from Roadside Picnic aside from the literary themes.

Chernobyl is not Russian territory, but the disaster itself is indeed a Russian deed.

You're just like a Jow Forumstard, except instead of the JOOS being at fault of everything, it's the ROOSIANS!
