Been playing for 10'ish hours. I really like the gameplay mechanics, very similar to the old Fallouts.. world reminds me of STALKER.
The bad part is the writing. Its like it's written by a 15 year old most of the time which really hurts immersion and any interest in story or characters. The need to throw in current things like Crypto currency in quests is also lazy and stupid since it doesn't even make sense for this time period or world.

Mike Tyson made sense in Fallout 2?

It's just a reference to him though, i don't mind that too much. He's not even named Mike Tyson. And sure, boxing makes sense.
In the crypto currency quest people are given buttons and pine cones as a digital currency, that in itself does not make much sense. Its lazy and really dumb writing with absolutely zero effort.
The dude doing the writing should have read some good books to inspire him before he started writing, Roadside Picnic etc.. you get the feeling everything in his imagination is 1) Fallout 2) Boring every day stuff that he happened to run into on a forum that day so he decided to include it in the writing 3) meta-jokes, joking about the RPG stats in the game for example.

The writing is very smart and satirical for our time just like Fallout 2's. The problem is that the writing is full of obscure soviet references.

no, it's pretty damn dumb.. i understand he wants to take a jab at e.g crypto currency, but he needs to understand what he's writing about if he's gonna do that.
I can't wash off the feeling that its someone bored out of his fucking mind writing this stuff.. its like sometimes he just includes stuff he happened to run into earlier on a forum that day. The soviet references hasn't been very obscure for me so far.
Out of 50 NPC's you meet perhaps 3-4 has a quest and anything intelligent to say, kind of tiresome.

Seen some screenshots via the Codex who did a not-so-serious playthrough of the game though from the screenshots picked that sounds a bit generous unless it's severely suffering from a case of lost in translation though overall it looked like it had potential but some of the writing got kinda strange.
Not really comparable but I doubt anything can dethrone the currency explanation in Ghost Recon Breakpoint being crypto based as characters explain how you pick USB's or phones and other digital assets for it.
So what's one of the most common locations to find these other than enemy bodies?
Ancient 100's of years old viking lookalike burial sites and chests in these having a few hundred digi-coins.
EDIT: Think Fallout 2 had it's little swings as well but mostly due to all the jokes and references compared to the first game where it's more subdued other than random encounters and certain dialog choices.

here's an example of the writing i just came across when clicking on a NPC..;
Before you stands a clean shaven man, nervously playing with a cigarette in his hand.
* Amazing! Can i ask you something else?
* Leave
you know its good when it starts with "can i ask you something else" and you haven't talked to him  |
Does the plot involve time travel by any chance
1 and 2 are still amazing. |

I wonder if this always planned as a standalone or they just thought no one would pay another $15 for it as DLC.

Have I seen what the game has to offer if I'm halfway through Krasnoznamenny? I've done the factory and the drunken lair, not the bunker. I feel like I'm playing a poor version of the original Fallout games. Does it get better later on?

it's a really overrated game. you can tell the writing is done by someone who's perhaps 17-20 years old + some is probably lost in translation, which doesn't make it better.
There was really nothing that drew me in, just way too generic and very, very poorly written. I played perhaps 50% then i just gave up..

Yeah I gave up. I like it, but it's boring. Maybe one day some studio will make a proper isometric Fallout. A man can only hope.

I thought it was a pretty ok game. But compared to Wasteland 3, the difference in quality is very apparent, espécially the writing. Even with all its bugs, Wasteland 3 was a fun, albeit rather short, ride. Atom RPG really started to drag after a while.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Part of the problem with the writing is that it's basically the Fallout 2 pop culture galore style, but shifted to Russia.
Even with a perfect translation, most of the references and humour are going to be lost on anyone who didn't grow up in the iron curtain.
In all honesty, as much as I do love Fallout 2, I was never a huge fan of the pop culture galore style. The first Fallout struck a far better balance humour and writing wise. |

Yeah, there are way too many obscure references for the western culture.
