How cool it would be if we could get "Slava Ukraini" DLC with M.E.R.C competitor called "International Reddit Legion". After capturing comms facility/military base we could use "Send NAFO" interaction to lower morale of enemy troops in the sector or cause them to move to other place preparing for fake invasion!
I am sure someone will mod this into Ukraine/NATO mercs invading Russia controlled Crimea. Probably a lot of Ukranian gamers with blown up legs from being forced to charge into Russian artillery will be happy to continue to "fight" another way.

A coked up tranny kike who usurps power and sells his country to blackrock would be a cool start for JA4. And Bobby Gontarski would be goreposting on rpg codex in that shitty thread. "Booom! Take that russgoblins!!!"

A JA scenario about Prigozin usurping power and slapping the shit out of Shoigu in cutsceneses, and where Putin hires your mercs to restore his power like that annoying mail spamming spick in JA2 would be equally interestring.

Who gives a shit about journos and their reviews?
Well it’s not like the journos would have got any “incentives“ for reviewing this positively like a major studio AAA release…so might mean the metacritic average is worth something for a change.

Too late here to start playing…will have a look in the morning.

No way this game is 9/10 unless your standards are low.

Imagine Pynja nagging you by emails "please hurry up, what will western partners think about me"

looking forward to buying this with all DLC and 1+ year of people play-testing the equivalent of the Long War mod. It will be glorious, eventually.

Xenonauts 2 couldn't pick a worse time to release tbh. Only 4 days after JA3, unless they have insider info that this game is so short, that people will beat it in 4 days and will yearn for more of similar stuff.

The problem with Haemimont games is that they are rarely ambitious, they are not bad per se but it doesn't go above "oh cool" and it never reaches the good or cult status.
It was the case for the recent tropico games.

First user reviews are mixed, looks like performance issues and not working multiplayer (lmao sucks for multiplayer faggots i guess). But lets wait more for smoke to settle.

Im hoping for at least ok xcom clone with some ja2 atmosphere. You'd be an idiot to expect more.

I missed the whole thing. Why are people butthurt?
Is JA3 GURPS based?

I haven't played JA1 (I'm sorry). Is this a good game to introduce myself to the series? If not, why, and is JA2 okay then?

1 is a very good game, and it's probably a good idea to start with it since IMO 2 eclipses it completely (I know Zombra prefers 1 so ask him for effusive commentary). If you want the best of the best right away, go with Ja2. Play it with Stracciatella, which is a non-intrusive bugfixing/stability/resolution mod.

Couldn't have said it better. For example, Tropico 3 was literally a 3D 1:1 carbon copy of the first game. The rest of their games are bland at most, and forgettable, except perhaps Tropico 4.
