игра превратилась в полнейшую помойку, в которую уже давным давно не страшно играть - с того самого рокового обновления, когда игра стала похожа на амонг ас стилем голосования.

нет оптимизации - нет хорошего отзыва.
обновлю обзор при выходе патча на оптимизацию после проверок.

upd: вышло уже 2 патча. ни один не починил проблемы с утечкой памяти, на любом железе. не берите игру, пока не выйдут патчи, что на 100% пофиксят любые проблемы с этим.

Yes, it’s cool, added new unique items, but I played this game for quite a long time before the release and carefully planned each game, but the deception on the part of the dealer in the form of substitution of shells remained the same and this is dishonest. Everything is twisted against the player and the first cheaters/abusers have already appeared in the World Record Table. I will never believe that it is possible to reach such big results in such a short period of time, even if play 24/7. Especially, negative values.

Using it, he suggests the future, but it is false or inverted. 3 out of 3 predictions are completely wrong. He screwed up twice in a row, but on the third, using a shell change, it helped (He suggests me a Live shell, but i changed it with Changer and it shoots).
The pills helped the dealer gain 2 lives 4 times in a row, but I lost a 1 life 5 times in a row. everything is as usual - everything against the player.
The feature is very useful, but, in my opinion, it should be given out exclusively for a future multiplayer game (I think, Earth icon on Computer gonna be future MP), since the bot simply takes away the look in the chamber and medicine.
I noticed this even before game released on Steam. There were 4 blanks and 4 live. 4 live shells used in a row, we're healed, but on the last one, as it think, Blank, the dealer shot me live shell without changing the shell with device. Absolute scam on Double or Nothing.

But what can I say about the game in general?

---

Updated review to moment of November 15th. Some of old text deleted due a symbol limit.

---

The unforgettable gameplay that was previously, of course, cannot be returned, but the game feels great! I'll start with something simple.

Speaking for the visuals, already at the stage of the battle with the second boss, problems with the text appear, named, for example, “Event Zone_13.9.9”. I, as a Ru/Ua-speaking person who learns the language through text (Yes, the text was made through Google translator (Due emotional fatigue), but my level of English is between A2-B1), always want to understand what the characters are saying when reading the text, because I don’t perceive it by ear so well, and then such mistakes happen.

Yes.. He's gorgeous. The new wrap is incredible. This is exactly how we imagined it when we played the old version of SFH on AFP as children. However, nitpicking about canonicity, I would like to say that I personally am extremely dissatisfied with the addition of the appearance of the characters in the style of the failed SFH 3. They look like some kind of balls twisted into human figures. I’m very glad that the game has been optimized since Beta, because now, with FullHD and high graphics settings, I have more FPS than at minimum at 1280x1024. No, I have a very powerful laptop, it can handle absolutely all games except Dying Light. There sometimes it’s more than 150 fps, sometimes it can’t handle more than 80. It depends on how you launch it, from the launcher or from a shortcut, but that’s not what we’re talking about now.

It didn’t seem particularly pleasant to me even when watching the pre-alpha trailer with a demonstration of the game. It's quite cartoonish and hurts the ears at many points. This is half the problem, but there has been a bug since the open beta - a non-working setting for lowering the music volume level during dialogues. It just doesn't work. This is uncomfortable because I love SFH's music. You have to turn it on outside the game, unpleasant. The voice acting of the characters has become one, if not several, levels worse. In many cases, the volume levels of certain cues/sounds from them are not balanced with each other, and given the constant muting of the music, this looks poor. I hope there are people who can somehow modify this, replacing the new lines, if possible, with the old ones, because they sounded more menacing and confident, even more realistic.

Already in the first 20 minutes of the game, I noticed the same problems from the beta - bots can sometimes jump through textures, you too, and even worse, you can fall down in the corner of the map with partisans and... die. It’s not that it interferes, it’s just that it’s not the most pleasant detail to experience this in a brawl. What can we say about the results of the battle - the system of deducting points for death is too exaggerated. Even after trying extremely hard, it’s not always possible to get 3 or even 2 stars, due to the fact that you simply don’t have time / can’t do it / the bots have too much aim. The system of “teabagging”, when you have to crouch over the enemy, is also broken. No matter how hard I tried, I do this maximum 4 times per fight. It would be worth adjusting. I would also like to mention that in 60% of all the battles I completed before mission 7, the allies simply stood still, and the enemies, in many cases, either stood or involuntarily committed suicide by jumping from a plane or drowning in lava. The leveling system is again taken from SFH 3 (I think. I haven't played).

The game receives regular fixes. We have now Patch 1.10. It's nice to see that the game has been released and is being actively supported. You immediately understand that everything is fine, until you notice that instead of some bugs, others appear and you also need to fight them.

For me personally, the sound has deteriorated. I have different volumes and it didn’t bother me, but when I noticed that my weapon was three times quieter than someone else’s, it became unpleasant for me to play. The music is at 10%, but it is louder than the sounds that are at 100% volume. I don’t pay attention to the dialogues, they are broken, because female versions of phrases of male characters slip through, even in the plot. It is unpleasant.
Interface.

Interface

The interface has not changed in any way yet, except for fixing mini-bugs.

Gameplay.

This is where the best and worst begin.

For the best, I would like to emphasize the change in balance. In the store, prices are adjusted and the chances of something are improved, and the % chance of something on a weapon is also adjusted so that everything is correct. In principle, that's all. Let's start with the bad... There are already cheaters in the game.

Yes, they are. It's very noticeable. Using CheatEngine, they can simply change the weapon settings so that everything has a 200% chance and easily defeat you in PvP, change the amount of money for themselves, add something for themselves, and so on. They are also present in the game, using additional bugs of the game, for example, being invulnerable, as when playing as Juggernaut, when no one can kill you, and you are not even there, but your nickname is visible.

And now the worst thing is that many have lost their progress. I'm not an exception. Some lost the entire passage of the game in Madness mode, some lost partial progress, like I lost 3 hours of game progress, while losing more than 30 items that were received and completed achievements. Patch 1.10 was supposed to fix this problem, but as you can see, it didn't. I am very disappointed, because I have very little free time left for games, and therefore I am now forced to sit with the understanding that most of the remaining time for the game was lost and did not return. People just say “abandon the save”... That’s when I finally exploded from the dampness of the game.

Why the hell at the end of 2023, in a game with full online support, can you JUST CHANGE YOUR PROGRESS WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S? Just take it and replace your save with someone else’s, which has all the best and everything possible! That's just terrible. This puts a stronger weight on the scales with the Positive/Negative feedback towards the Negative, of course.

The game community makes me happy.People make guides for completing certain missions, certain additional tasks for missions, certain bosses and share their impressions, their achievements and, like me, their dissatisfaction with the bugs and shortcomings of the crude game.

Unfortunately, everything is exactly as I tell it, at least everything is so on my behalf. I am not changing my review status from Negative to Positive because I suffered from the above mentioned bugs. Until they are corrected, there will be no changes in the review.

My verdict about game is that YES, you should try it!

But I do not recommend buying the full version of the game (Deluxe) while there is a lot of raw content in the form of the above-mentioned problems.

In any case, I will say - thank you, Justin, for bringing back the legend and thank you for not forgetting about this wonderful game! I hope with all the other fans that all the bugs will be fixed, I also hope that many details will be improved in favor of the canonicity of previous, older versions of the game series. Thank you!

1k hours.
downloading addons - script errors;
you go to the server - only Errors;
you start loading add-ons during the game or through the overlay - the crash of the engine / the game itself;
playing with addons for too long - engine crash..

upd 2,3k hours: WHEN IS THE ENGINE UPDATE TO VERSION 2012???

upd 3,6k hours: that game - the only one place, where you can build your own wars

upd 3,9k hours: i regret that this game killed everything i had.

Играю в игру еще с 2012 года, развив около 6 аккаунтов до максимума, который возможен был на времена обновлений и вдонатив в неё более 33к рублей, если переводить на них. � ешив добавить игру в стим, заметила что она есть в ней и стала играть с него, без лаунчера с сайта. Играла всё время на старом пк и нареканий по производительности не было - 2 ядра с частотой более 2-х с половиной, 2 гб оперативки и 512 мб видеокарта. Тянуло всё вплоть до Высокой графики, но с просадками и даже вылетами спустя 3-4 боёв. Пока обновляла пк, ибо умерла видеокарта, вышло около 4-5 обновлений, изменившие графику, эффекты, новую технику и всё остальное, но зайдя в игру уже с 4 ядрами, 4 оперативки и 2 гб видеокартой - текстуры Среднего и Высокого качества заблокированы, как и общее освещение. Почему? Потому что улитки снова идут на титушл графонистой игры, забив на производительность. Спасибо, разочаровали высокими системными требованиями.
ред. 30.03.2021 в 22:20 - бесконечные загрузки во время боя при смене самолёта - это нечно. скорость интернета 20 мб в секунду, всё предварительно скачано и ужасно долго загружается, так еще и с дикими просадками фпс из-за новых эффектов, которые разработчики ВПИХНУЛИ хрен знает, для чего.
очень много игроков, которые непонятно каким образов, имея бомбовую нагрузку свыше 100 кг, умудряются быть манёвреннее на медленных для выражей самолетах очень много читеров, которые попадают чётко в маркер упреждение; и очень много недоработок для слабых компьютеров. игра всю свою жизнь была топ для слабых пк, но теперь люди с даже 2 гб видеопамяти и высокой частотой ядра не могут играть без просадок в фпс, без пролагов и фризов и, конечно же, без тех самых вечных загрузок во время игры, даже дольше, чем в той самой GTA 5, которая всегда была известна своим долгим "черным экраном". ах и да, спустя примерно один напряжный бой игры, можно легко получить вылет игры с причиной "Мало памяти", хотя свободно как оперативной до 1,7 гб, так и до 400 гб обычной.
улитки, вы чудесно испоганили игру! одни любители новых истребителей только и играют против слабых уровней игроков.

апдейт 18.05.2024: ничего толково не работает. ghost shells, shost rockets, рассинхрон, PL 4% что вбивает самолёт в землю, полигон максимально кривой который выбивает с ошибкой Exception, который не исправляется. фпс на поршнях свыше 200, фпс на реактивах не более 120. ноут за ~1300 баксов. игра лучше уже не станет и вычерпает все идеи уже к 2026/2027 году.
