Why did post-Soviet countries become so obsessed with cRPGs to the point they became a cultural phenomenon over there? Even Eastern Euro chicks I've spoken too at the pub in the smoking area talk about Might and Magic, and Classic Fallout has numerous Russian fangames and spinoffs like AtomRPG.
Even in the modern day they aren't copying Betheshit or Ubishit or whatever, but classic CRPGs. Why?
I remember that encounter, almost more fricked than the BBQ place.
PCs were probably cheaper or more common in Eastern Europe than consoles were.
This, as a balkanslav piracy was much easier on PC.
Also the reason PS2 was so popular here.

They like a very specific type of crpg for complete morons. They won't touch anything that requires brains. Slavs basically all have severe dunning kruger syndrome.
I think you should look up your buzzword of choice and come back to your post
As if cRPG classics like the M&M series or Fallout 1/2 wouldn't be worthy of "obsession". No wonder they stood the test of time and inspired titles like AtomRPG, which oozes soul and encapsulates everything good about indie game development. Why would anybody copy Betheshit or Ubishit outside of financial reasons?

It's what happens when you're not infested with consoletards. Post-soviet countries were poor as frick in the 90s and early 2000s (and a lot of them still are), so people couldn't afford consoles (or even PCs, which is why computer clubs were such a big deal) and instead played pirated shit, often of older PCs which also restricted them to older games.
Thus, an appreciation for not just RPGs, but also strategy games, old-school shooters, stuff like that.
HOLY SOVL
sometimes i wish i could go back to those times

I lived only a year at my grandmas but these are the best memories. Now i just sit in my room like a moron and study the whole day and sleep the rest of it. Utterly soulless
AtomRPG is Russian Fallout 2, along with the themes of memes and cultural references included left and right
it's quite literally a game that westerners will never understand
Immersion ruined by having minecraft icon
Didn't it come out like a few years ago?
anon, I...
you've been in a coma for... quite some time
>minecraft is over 20 years old
comrades i dont feel so good
>2011 game
>released in 2009
why do websites put up with this, I don't care when the dev claims the executable is "finished," if it's released then it's released.
Consoles didn't really become a thing at all in Eastern Europe in general until the 00s. You either played vidya on PC or you didn't play vidya at all.
>might and magic
do they even play that? i thought they only played heroes of might and magic, which has little to do with CRPGs

They're built different
Slavs are hyperfocused on PC games in a way that japs are hyperfocused on console gaming. Probably because that's all they had available.
Love me slavjank
>when you beat you wife for extra XP points
>copying betheshit
nobody can do it. plenty have tried, some have come close, but bethesda has a deathgrip on their niche.
>clean
must be some high end cafe, our shit always looked like some goblin cave
the camera quality's probably not high enough to see the filth
given that they seem to have ashtrays on each desk, I doubt it remained that clean for long
yeah probably was some kind of grand opening
all cafes ive been to were dirty in a sense that the shit was yellow and used
Shitty weather for most of the year and general grim environment favours long-form and escapist vidya, so RPGs. The reason they prefer cRPGS compared to nushit is because the modern skinnerbox/graphics chasing disposable flashy american mindset doesnt exist there. They just want engrossing stories and deep gameplay because the education system as inherited from soviets has an emphasis on mathematics and hard sciences, thus conditioning them to enjoy deeper more complex systems as they have heavier worked brains that need more exercise to not get bored than your average illiterate American who just wants to shut his brain off and smoke weed.
