Atomic Heart's Female Robot Twin Looks a Lot Like Ukraine's Former Prime Minister

Atomic Heart has a female robot that looks extremely similar to a former Prime Minister of Ukraine, and it's not subtle.

[H9]

Okay I will probably get misunderstood but that's just a hairstyle my first thought was Leia from Star Wars, politicians don't own rights to haircuts or anything, also said Prime Minister is aligned with Russia not the other way round, the way people on Twitter are taking it is like the studio turned an Ukrainian into a S*x slave out of spite

[Abriael]

This developer deserves all the flak it's getting. The game is also crap.

[H9]

You harm your case when you are including things that are hardly evidence like a haircut, focus on the important and impactful things

[Abriael]

No case has been harmed. There are plenty of signals here and there.

This without mentioning the disgusting, unironic soviet propaganda that permeates the whole game.

[neutralgamer1992]

Why this whole war is nonsense and it seems Ukraine had other options but chose to lose a lot of it's land and have it's people killed. Our tax money is going there when our yes our own people are sleeping under the bridges and inflation is making our lives harder

Ukraine should have taken the deal offered last year through UN where Russia wanted assurance that Ukraine won't join NATO. Not my words but words of European union members, 112 billion euros have been spent and sent as an aid

So please leave game developers out of this

These developers have delivered what they promised and with patches will make game better

[MadLad]

Yeah.
It's definitely no Star Citizen.

@ Abriael 19 closet Zeders downvoted you. You have my upvote.

@Nuetral Gamer Fighting for the right to exist is not nonsense. Actually it makes sense for every country that has had to do something similar.

[EvertonFC]

Go captain fanny 😂😂

Abriael

Did you miss the part where I said this could have ended last year?

Please define winning here?

How many more lives
How many more billions
How much more destruction
How much more inflation

Ukraine had already lost major chunks of land to Russia and Russia won't stop. India, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and many others have done non stop business with Russia since this war started. Many of them didn't even condemned this war. They are buying and selling in local currencies

Don't involve emotions into this. Sanctions haven't helped and won't help. Europe has already suffered with not dealing with Russia. Maybe instead of watching national news instead watch some world wide news

In April there was a deal through UN where Russia would have left Ukraine in return for a guarantee that Ukraine won't join nato. So when you said defending their freedom yeah sure keep believing that

I have a video to back up all my claims but N4G doesn't let us share MP4 videos

@anast
Now it's «Zeders», before it was antivaxxers, before that what, trumpers?.. You can disagree with others without putting derogatory labels on them, you do know that, right? It's like people love to divide themselves. I believe, Lincoln said «A house divided against itself cannot stand». Felt like it was worth it to remind you.

[z2g]

not a good look, all things considered - especially after the racist cartoon drama on top of it. for those saying "i'm not gonna bring politics into my gaming" well... the gaming just brought politics to you in a not very subtle metaphor.

[Strange99]

Hairstyles on robots is not politics.

[FortWaba]

In Soviet Russia, games bring politics you!

[RavageX]

So...what? Is the game good? How about we talk about that?

[akuarius87]

Its a good game, the visuals are amazing, the combat is fun, the music is awesome, but no, everyone must say game is bad because of my own agenda.

[PaulFiend]

@neutral no dictator would decide Ukraine's fate, only it's people have the right to decide what and when they decide to join to.

[alexkarkar]

She owns the rights to this hairstyles? Nazis and their sycopants are getting desperate.

[Inverno]

the state of gaming journalism in 2023.

[gold_drake]

Braids are fairly common in Ukraine and Russia., and just because one person made it her signature, doesnt mean that the robots were designed after the person herself.

[Terry_B]

total bs.

[HeliosHex]

Lol I was googling her to see if she had the same body. The title mislead me.

[SullysCigar]

Same. Most notable difference was that the robot is mostly metal and - looking at her face - she's mostly plastic.

[HeliosHex]

@sullys. Lololol true, true

[DrDoomer]

Don't think I've ever seen game journos this desperate to dig for dirt.

[X-23]

People who buy into subliminal political imagery in video games and believe it's some super secret society developer level agenda are so gullible and such tools. In a game that is using reality as a foundation that builds up into a distant or near future are we supposed to avoid world views from one perspective entirely to build that narrative?

I can't stand how game reviewers and articles written nowadays try to focus on the most trivial things in the entertainment industry to try and gas light others and preach about this and that by using what people consider escapism as their platform to grandstand on it's pretty despicable and lowbrow.
