I bought early access for the weekend and got 10 hours in.

Games really hard first of all, I must have died 30 times already on the 2nd hardest difficulty.

The game is smooth as butter and getting about 80-90 fps @ 1440 on i9-9900k, 3090 on ultra settings.

No crashes..

Don't buy into this bullshit, the guys argument is, some of the devs live in Russia and pay taxes . So in his fked up mind they are willingly supporting the war. That's such a bullshit argument and has no relevance at all.

Every one of us pay taxes. its not the tax payers who are bad, its the governments that use those taxes in the wrong doings. That does not make these devs bad people.

Most Russians despise the war and don't support it.

You know, it is okay to not give a single solitary fuck about where the devs might live or how they spend their money. You are not in fact supporting anything or making any statement other than "hmm, this game looks cool. I'm going to buy this game". You don't in fact need to justify what you buy or be judged for it. I sometimes feel the need to say that because I wonder if people know that not everything is a crusade or a cause or says anything about you as a person.

You're exercising your right as a consumer. I applaud that. My message is to those who had to suffer being told that they support transphobia because they bought 'Hogwarts Legacy' or support murdering civilians because they bought 'Atomic Heart'. You do you, and let everyone else decide how to do them.

Trust me, your not buying the game is not going to change a thing. In fact, the studio already got their money to develop the game. Its Focus who is colleting the sales on this, Not Saber.

So, holding out is not going to change anything.

Strawman. He never said that he expected to do anything but honor his own principles. He is smart enough to know what you said already. I hate this argument. It's condescending.

This is not true at all by the way but pure wishful thinking.

The most recent polls by the Levada Institute which is the only "independent" institute of its kind in Russia show that 78% of Russians support the aggression war on Ukraine.

This number has been consistently high since the invasion and the only times support has crumbled (slightly) was when Russians were directly affected by the war, namely when Putin drafted more troops last year and as a reaction to the Kursk invasion by Ukrainian troops. The Russians don't want the war in their own country.

The vast majority of Russians do not give a shit about Russian bombs/missiles on schools, hospitals, kindergartens, apartment blocks, markets, civilians or about Russian troops raping women or abducting children. They only care (a little) when their own lives are affected negatively. That's the very sad and regrettable state of affairs...

Boycotts absolutely work - if they have sufficient momentum. Boycotts were what ended apartheid in South Africa - even though the Reagan Junta openly supported apartheid. And sadly, Putin enjoys wide support in Russia, though that will fall if Ukraine can continue to take the fight to them. And it's not as easy as just saying, 'Leave and go somewhere else.' Just because people stay and work in a place like Russia doesn't mean they're for what's happening anymore than the average German was with the Nazi party. It's dangerous not to go along or to speak out against the powers that be. There are many reasons people must stay in a place they'd rather not. Still, the sooner things become untenable for the average Rooskie, the sooner they'll cast the tyrant down and be free - of at least that tyrant. Focus should absolutely be punished for doing business in Russia, unless you're pro-fascist.

Anyone playing it on Ultrawide? It sounds like they're going to add support for it in a couple weeks. Wondering if it's just letterboxed right now. I know there's a mod out for it, but would rather wait or just play it as is.

As Prez said, "to thine own self be true" more or less. I need more info before making a political decision about it.

RougeSix is correct, IMO (based on ISW and many other sources) that a significant part of Russia, and probably a significant majority supports the war. Perhaps they've been misled, perhaps some are bullied, but it's true as far as we can tell. LIke many countries/peoples before, beating up some "others" feels great, especially if it doesn't really personally cost you anything. This certainly seems to be portrayed as a war against the "trans" agenda and many other Western decadences - any surprise an ignorant/poorly educated population believes something that makes it feel good, when few in Moscow/St. Petersburg feel any direct pain?

The whole game is letterboxed not just cutscenes. I would wait if you can and see how well it is implemented.

So about the actual game: I did not realize that it's designed as Coop-first so you get bots in single player mode and it does not feel as organic as a pure solo campaign. For example you always get the same set of objectives i.e. kill waves, defend stuff rinse and repeat. Still, the presentation and the brutal combat make me come back despite all that

If boycotts didn't work there wouldn't be laws enacted or attempting to be ennacted that punish entities for participating in them.

I wasn't going to full price this sucker anyway, now I'll tell myself that I'm supporting Ukraine with something more than drunk tweets but not purchasing it like a proper online activist! Though it looks awesome. I've gotta clear my calender for Satisfactory 1.0 and Factorio 2.0. (Made in jursdictions where tax money is spent on defending Ukraine, Yay!),

That was my initial reaction as well. I've since changed my mind that a Space Marine being sent in alone is maybe a bit counterintuitive to the lore. Space Marines tend to operate in groups. The biggest concern that I have is the quality of the AI, seeing as how I would be playing it predominantly singleplayer.
