DEI ♥♥♥♥

yeaaah...we're not getting any updates, are we?

Krafton can suck my ♥♥♥♥
peak was reached in 2017, now in 2025 we can do tiktok korean dances

atrocious level design. a chore to play.
yet it is fairly priced and discounted.

Thank god they adressed the important issue: presence of RU language

as my favourite steam curator says
"WARNING! Russian game! By buying it or adding it to your wishlist, you are sponsoring terrorism"
so the purchase was inevitable , for the full price that is.

i,hereby, sentence the devs to get shot with a 9mm pistol at distance of 50 metres and then explain to me how it would deal 0 damage to them.
somehow they thought adding sweetspot mechanic to their top-down extraction shooter would make it a better experience.
well it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ didn't
i'd get if it dealt LESS damage over long distances, it's a bullet, it loses momentum, but i just cannot wrap my mind around how 9mm bullet would deal no damage when it crosses mark lenght of a 1/4-2/4 of my monitor.
Forcing close-combat with sweetspot mechanic to fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI situatuion in-fact doesnt make a game pleasant.
so there's the chart of effective range of weapons
Pistols - 1/3 of the screen
smgs - 1/3 of the screen
shotguns - 1/3 of the screen
dmrs -1/3 of the screen
rifles - 1/3 of the screen
sniper rifles - whole ass screen + offsscreen if you have scope. but guess what , ♥♥♥♥, it deals less damage if the enemy is point blank! (includes rifles if in-game crosshair isn't lying ) how!?!?!?!?! just HOW?!?!?!?
more about AI, if they were, the problem they were trying to "fix" there is that they're non-reactive ♥♥♥♥♥,playing ZERO SIEVERT is like going down to a shooting range, you stand faaar back there, shoot at static targets and thats it.
AI goons will not react to any gunshots as long as you're +- screen away from them, doesn't ,matter what you do, you can kill their entire group in front of them,as long as you're using that sweet sniper rifle they're gonna stay afk forever.
which i find incredibly funny is that you dont even have to use sniper rifle, you can use any weapon at a long range and they will not react at all. Even if you hit them, since bullet will deal 0 damage at that distance :D
and lets not forget countless bugs on alleged full release, fps will randomly lock to 30 after completing a raid on pressing ALT+TAB, items will float off-grid in your inventory taking god knows how much additional space etc.
lets not forget about hefty price tag they put on their game, demo option from the store page, must be ashamed of their creation and ofcourse their wonderful EULA that basically only allows buyers to
install the game,
use the game in a limited fashion, or
once you agreed to the EULA, to terminate the agreement by effectively stopping to play - without offering consideration.
Apart from the third item, these are all things I was allowed to do before.

Everything else creates 30+ considerations towards Modern Wolf Limited. These considerations
include that modders give up all rights (except non-exclusivity) on their creative or otherwise work and intellectual property - without offering further (more than non-exclusivity) consideration, and
potentially allows Modern Wolf to unilaterally disable a buyer's access to the game in case Modern Wolf Limited decides the EULA has been violated by the buyer - without offering consideration.

To Developer
Regarding the gun mechanics:
"sweetspot" mechanic only frustrates and hinders the experience, being forced to have a certain distance between you and "ebemy" (:D) isn't strategic, it's tedious ,it only serves as a band-aid fix to non-responsive AI wjich stops working at the moment you pick up a sniper rifle.
while we're at it, AI is not only unresponsive to player's actiions, but to their enviroment too. if you had misfortune (or fortune) of any major point of interest spawning near anomaly - good luck, Everyone will be dead in time you arrive to the place since AI ignore anomalies and just stand in 'em getting all the damage they can.
Bugs and Performance Issues:
i wish it was a problem with my pc,yet, it isn't.
"30 fps lock" bug only accurs if
a) i open a map
b) raid gets completed
and it gets fixed only by rebooting the game or opening the map a couple of times for some reason
apart from that game runs in 60 fps.
EULA and Price Concerns:
while it is an industry standart,yes, but i don't think that's the standart we should keep, EULA's llike that allow ♥♥♥♥ that was done to THE CREW possible.
i played ZERO SIEVERT a bit more,tried to give it a chance and that's what i noticed since last review
1) looting if frustrating and doesn't respect your time. "looting" mechanic is too slow for the amount of loot you need, 80% of the raid is spent in the menu looking at numbers going from 0 to 100. ( while it's stupid to whine about that in exctraction looter-shooter i've never been bored looting in EFT or D&D , looting speed is simply too slow, after coming from work i dont want to spend my hours looking through slots getting completed to 100%)
imagine you just need lazar's key or some ammo from the corpse you're looting, ammo and keys spawn in 2 slots adjacent to the weapon, good luck, you can't manually search items, gotta wait till you look through those 5 forks 10 spoons and 3 pillows guy has to get his 20 ammo and a key, and if you got that bug that softlocks your fps to 30?good luck buddy.
2) Why there's no in-game saves?
you can't close the game while in-raid, all of your progress will be wiped clean, that would be fine if it wasn;t for sievert being a single-player experience. if you caught that 30 fps lock bug and re-opening the map didn't fix it, good luck playing and looting at .5x speed
3)corpses are too hard to find. while there's a crow mechanic to combat that it rarely helps
4) Melee "ebemies" (boars,ghouls, wolfs etc) are poorly done, they just stuck inside of you constantly damaging you without a way to damage them
5) for some reason any time i spot an "ebemy" for the first time it shouts "reload!", every time, doesn't matter what weapon,faction or map. constant "reload!"
6)one time key use doesnt work like in tarkov since there's no real players to balance against, there's no safe crate to stash it
7) "ebemies" often spawn inside lakes for some reason
8)no way to switch items in the hotbar requiring to dump em then re-assign a new slot
9) for some reason your money display in raid , yet you have to collect physical bills during raid and then sell them to the bartender to get your money
that makes them obsolete since you can only put 999 rubles per slot, which can be basically anything else and be sold to the venders for more than 999 rubles
10)no way to compare / browse already installed mods on the weapon in raid which is self explanitory
11) npc's aren't affected by radioactive structures which actually makes sense since 99% of the population would be dead since they cant even avoid acid puddles
12) while black flashbang checkbox is a saviour, can we get the same but for radiation particles?
13)i beg of you
stop with the videos
we like written changelogs, it's question of avialibility , not preference, since in some unnamed countries youtube is banned.
14)We're excited to see what mods come to the Steam Workshop and can't wait for you to get your hands on the next update!"

Translation - "We really can't wait for modders to do what we couldn't, while we make all the money off of sales for it
since ,as it's said multiple times you're aware of how undercooked game is, you still chose to make it a full release
15)night raids are pain since there's no way to identify what area your POV covers
16)hp/ radiation hud is disruptive during gunplay
17)sort by type doesnt work properly
18) npc's spawn with 2 different types of ammo, 1 in bad, 2 in the mag.
nonsensical ammo switch mechanic that requires you to switch ammo while having only 1 type of ammo in your inventory.
doesn't allow ammo mixing,it's either half mag of hp or full map of BP

the case of "how the ♥♥♥♥ does that has overwhelmingly positive??"
gameplay lacks...gameplay
90% of your runs will end due to sphere bouncing funny, or getting unlucky pegs pattern+layouts, due to that it's almost impossible to get your run going further than first shop.
i admit, i love the design of the game, i love the (unbalanced ) perk and items system, but damn its not enjoyable to play when the core gameplay mechanic pegs you in the ass with each bounce

Horrible Work Order, People refusing to do simple Tasks, No force action button
Very poor English translation, with words that don't exist, wooden language or text that makes zero sense in quite a lot of situations.
removed RU translation support

Don't get me wrong, i REALLY LOVE all of the artistic/design decisions from bosses to item description , the story (the little of it i experienced) is great and entangled me in it, The idea of giving my fav creator a portion of my salary,( must say a small portion since they fairly priced it in Russia) is attractive to me , but i just cant enjoy the gameplay... it feels...shallow and empty. after gawking at visuals for a hour i just,,, don't feel like playing it again... it feels so repetitive i felt completly done with the game after much little time i spent playing it
