When this disaster happened I was 1 year and 2 months old and stayed at my grandma's, 385 km from Chernobyl. We couldn't leave the country for 2 months, because the borders were closed. My immune system is ruined since then.
that is not a fairytale, but reality. Revolution was started on foreign funds and The imperor Nikolay II with family was killed. that is not a subject to joke around
@@user-uk5bx1kz2k Let's be real, the aristocracy of Imperial Russia, was even worse than what followed. After all, revolutions of this scale don't happen without VERY good reasons.
When did i ever say that? No, nobody in their right mind would support that nowadays, this isn't GoF. What happened however, was inevitable. Russian aristocracy had decades to see what's going on in the rest of the world, and, at least, prepare for change, but they refused to relinquish their nigh absolute power and suffered the consequences.
@@InsomniaRex not like I'm married but when I ask people about married life they all talk about a monster, it's kinda scray, my guys stay safe and don't get married
@@ivanlagrossemoule No they don't XD Pretty much the only cultural difference between Slavs is tied to dominant religion. Otherwise, we are mostly the same. Just like Germanic people are. Saying that Ukraine and Russia have different cultures is like saying Austria and Germany have different cultures XD
@@Wustenfuchs109 of course we are different lol? Language, culture, we don't even look the same. Don't forget that russia is not only slavik, it's half asian also. russians mostly look like pale dwarf asian-slavs with dark hair and small facial features, ukranians are mostly red-faced, thick and with broad facial features, also taller on average.
Игор is pronounced Eagohr, with an ea/ee motion at the start(some pronounce it yeegohr) and an oxytone which is also known as a terminal stress, which is exactly fitting with that weird lightning forest scene. Did like a wombat and shat bricks there.
This game looks solid, the fights, exploration, crafting, base building, etc... felt really good, and the story, weird, but in a good way. Great stuff.
I think the title might be a little bit confusing for some new players, because it indicates that the nationality of the developer is Russian while it is Polish in fact.
IGOR is pronounced as 'Eegor' in Russia (and the rest of the world) NOT EYEgor . Americans always pronounce words incorrectly; not being rude M8...its just a well known fact 😄. Many words/names do not emphasise the first uppercase letter. By the way! Your speaking English with a Russian accent was spot on...better than a great deal of Hollywood actors/actresses etc. I thoroughly enjoyed the way you walked people through this game...thank-you!
Subs4life! The Metro games are better this way too. It's like most movies/games/anime where the actors/voice actors speaking the original dialog (in the same language that the writers wrote it) tend to add MUCH more depth and feeling, and foreign language tend to lose something in the translation. VO work has gotten better over time, but it's hard to not be dissatisfied with some clearly Californian surfer dude saying lines in English who sounds like one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 90s.
I know the game is out for several years now, but recrntly there was the last announced update with new content, game-exspansions, released. Maybe it's time to check how the game now holds compared to Day 1.
There is a stalker\FO4 follow-up vibe to it after that initial disaster of an introduction, tho. Maybe you should do a follow up and get a bit more about this.
I get it that Russia kinda hits the eye when you look at the world map but hey, it is a totalitarian state that is currently at war with Ukraine. The game is Polish. The Chornobyl city is Ukrainian (spelled with "o"). The Chornobyl catastrophe took place in the Soviet Union. Nothing remotely Russian about it.
Russia is not at war with Ukraine, if it was, all that nonsense would have ended a couple of weeks (or sooner) after the conflict first began.....it's yet another proxy war between USA and Russia....USA is sending monetary aid, military supplies and specialists/trainer to Ukraine, Russia does the same for the Donbass Separatists.....
@@ramiel7666 It seems to me that the "proxy war" you are talking about has been lasting for more than 300 years, up to 700. Was the US involved back then, too? And how do you imagine the world community reacting to Russia wiping out Ukraine in a "couple of weeks" right under the nose of Europe? And why do Russian officials claim that "there is no Ukraine or Ukrainian nation" instead of just blaming the US like they always do?
@@taqil380 ...what are you even talking about? The war in Donbass began in 2014...right after that rioting in Kiev when people were throwing molotovs at BMP's.....And the world would react to Russia conquering Ukrain with even more sanctions, probably cutting off diplomatic relations for a while and nothing more, for rather obvious reasons....Also, I'm pretty sure no Russian official would say "Ukraine does not exist" that's just plain retarded....I looked up some Russian talkshows that concern Ukraine, and if the translator is to be believed, they mostly just talk the usual propaganda.....same as any other nation tbh....
@@ramiel7666 Excuse me? Didn't you ever hear Petr Tolstoy claiming that "Ukraine is a part of Russia", or about Putin telling Bush, "You don't understand, George, that Ukraine is not even a state. What is Ukraine? Part of its territories is Eastern Europe, but the greater part is a gift from us." The threats to use nuclear weapons (Zhyrinovsky on state TV) are particularly upsetting. Not the usual stuff you hear every nation talking about! I'm telling that Russia, or whatever it was called to the north-east of Kyiv, actively tried to assimilate Ukraine from about 1700 and on. Apparently they grew so frustrated with consistent failure that 2014 became the year they lost patience. Besides you talk like people started to throw Molotovs first, not after some of them got killed. Take into account mysterious snipers with yellow handbands, whose identities are not yet established, too. The "proxy war" is absolutely secondary even if partially true. It is rather the liberal world against totalitarian regimes, which is why it is perfectly reasonable for every liberal state to support Ukraine in this. Hell, even Turkey sells war drones to UA. Is it Turkey vs Russia then? I'd throw you the prooflinks but I'm not sure youtube won't blast them.
@@taqil380 Bringing Tolstoy here is rather pointless, you might as well blame Italy for conquering Britain, and Mongolia for conquering Russia and most of the rest of the world.....I would like to know where can i get a recording of Putin saying that....Because I'm pretty sure it would have been brought up every single time anyone said the word "Russia". Nuclear threats are nothing new, America, China, France, Britain, Russia (anyone who has them) brings them up as a "deterrent" every time they get the opportunity (it's basically "dick waving" as a nation). Don't know about assimilation (I've only been to Kiev once, around 11 years ago, on business and stayed for 2 weeks or so) but blaming Russians, as if they are the only one's to ever do so, is rather unfair. Especially with that "Svoboda" nazi party talking about cleansing..... Considering who came to power in Ukraine after Maidan, it's rather obvious who the snipers belonged to.... Once again, haven't been to Ukraine in almost a decade, so can't decide how liberal it is (long since learned to take media as a propaganda tool first, actual information second). But I've been to Crimea (once again on business, was rather annoying to deal mostly with cash....) about a year ago, and the people there have been rather satisfied and....hmm.....not war weary? Unafraid? Hmmm....Putin may be a despot, but he did improve the situation in Russia, by a lot. I remember having to go to Russia before his reign (too soon after the fall of the Soviet Union), and I was actually afraid of being robbed in the streets....but nowadays it's just like any other civilized country, don't go to any side passages, and you'll be fine.
@@Vova15 i think splattercat just meant he likes the russian/soviet-esque stories of post apocalypse. Like stalker or metro or this one. All of those games are inspired by slavic balkan and russian history.
@@GomulDart But Chornobyl - is a Ukrainian city. So it is Ukrainian history, not quite Balkan and Russian (even despite common Soviet past) And -IMHO - if we're talking about aesthetics, well, it is probably better to call it "eastern europe" (to exclude any political context) or to name it by the place of events, HQ of developers.
@@Vova15 you correct that the history and context is separate and nationally unique. But like you said; the common thread is the Soviet bloc. That's where the impression and trope of Russian post nuclear apocalypse comes from. That includes most of the countries from eastern Europe that were involved with the soviets. But yes, you are right that there are differences, I'm just explaining from an america standpoint why many of us will jump to the 'russian apocalypse' stereotype when talking about Chernobyl or any other game like this.
Looks like the devs were trying to hard to make something. They failed. Just telling your audience by the way in which the game moves, that the dev team had no idea what to do or make is enough for me not to want to waste time on it. Thanks cat. Saving us some money bro!
who's responsible for that stutter at 2:00? it's interfering with the psyche of the creator doing the intro. the person who's responsible for that stutter wanted to make this intro and game worse. he shouldn't work there, he obviously hates what he does.
