Porkies have to spent billions of dollar in researching psychology to create an insane emotion manipulation system in their games to even reach the level of addiction Tetris reached decades ago. Something Tetris achieved by pure good gameplay.

Imagine if the USSR still exist today (:ussr-cry:), we would've seen a game so good we would just straight up fucking dies.

edit: Considering that games from post-eastern bloc countries continues to blow away western and Japanese in the terms of creativity means that this isn't really a joke. :lt-dbyf-dubois: made in the Estonian SSR would send you writhing on the floor speaking in tongues.

    Stalker and ARMA/Operation Flashpoint both came out of post-soviet states, and both are nearly unique in their class, without any serious competitors for what they do.

      If it wasn't for the awful technical issues where no matter what you get 20fps, and having a better computer just makes the freezes shorter, the Arms games would be a lot more popular. They really are incredible in what they do.
