Hiking in M.Video, or what kind of trash you can dig up in SG reviews.
It was an ordinary winter day in 2014. I came to the M store. Video, see new items in the computer games department. Well, obviously, it’s February, there’s nothing really new, so purely out of curiosity I take it and flip through the discs on the shelves, maybe I’ll find some old games that I don’t have. The disks are placed at random, so that behind the disk with “Civilization” “Batman” or some other magic can easily be hidden. At the same time, without much difficulty you can come across the wildest trash. And this is not only the collectible “Postal 3” or Manhunt 2, but also something like “Special Forces 2: Hunt for the Oligarch”. But suddenly, pushing aside yet another box with a disc, I come across something extremely strange: a game based on some regular book by Daria Dontsova (!). A little taken aback, I take out and twirl the box in my hands. Apparently the copy is rare and was gathering dust in a warehouse for a couple of years before it reached the store shelf. Well, I think it’s funny, even games are already riveted according to Dontsova. I took a photo of the cover, just to show it to my friends, laugh. Then I was familiar with Stopgeym at the level of watching streams and video reviews on YouTube, I almost didn’t go to the site. And then a couple of months ago, I, already well acquainted with the stopgame site.ru, I was digging through the photos on my phone, just to see what’s there and clear my memory. And then I come across a photo of that disk. I remember that trip to the store, I smile, and I see quotes from critics’ reviews on the disk (well, as usually happens). I think we need to see who recommended that game. There are only two excerpts from reviews. After reading the first, I move on to the second. And then it knocks me out. “It’s very addictive, the game is played in one breath and until the end it reveals more and more new trump cards” – Stopgame.ru.
Slightly (well, slightly) surprised, I climbed into https://qualitybingocasino.co.uk the SG database, and after a couple of seconds I actually found this review.
There is no moral in this text, I just wanted to share. However, once again I want to be surprised by the scale and immensity of SG, which is what you won’t find here)
