Horrible game. Horrible experience. Horrible developers.

Don't trust the nut-clipped EU/US release of a pay to win RU game with your time or money - it'll waste both. The game, 'STALCRAFT', is a grind-fest that makes War Thunder look easy, with PvP that makes GTA Online look like a peace rally. The factions are horribly unbalanced to the point where bandits (Out of two main factions, Stalkers and bandits, the bandits are meant to be the criminal faction!) have a clear-cut chunk of the map that dwarfs the stalker side, with a loot system that makes going into the enemy area completely pointless for anything other than farming people. Once you get to the north, if you're not in a subfaction or a clan then you have little chance to progress passed a certain point. These subfactions are a practical requirement to obtain any high-end materials at the endgame, and without them you're stuck at a level where you fight gear-cap players but can't do much other than watch as their quad-prism build absorbs the damage from your best weapons as they magdump a VSS into your head with recoil flatter than a laser.

Avoid at every chance you have, don't bother putting a minute into the game.

This game, even if confusing and attention-demanding, is rather fun.

WARNING: I can't write well and my formatting may be horrible, and this isn't really a wall of text.

If you want a fun game, don't come here. War Thunder will ruin your wallet and waste your time the longer you play.
It advertises itself as a 'realistic' fighting game but i don't remember the Soviets fighting alongside the Krauts against the allies during the second world war, and to go along with this, most of the special tanks are monetized, and some, like the Maus, are being blatantly locked behind a market wall, or worse, an event wall. Look at the DLC section now on steam, see all of those? 80% of those are skins, not special in any way.The only acceptions at the moment would be the A43 Black Prince or the T-34-85E, one of which never saw service, the other is just a T-34-85 with beds welded to it. All-in-all, avoid this game if at all possible.

(NEW)
Recently, Gaijin Entertainment have taken it upon themselves to make threats and to ban members from the forums for bringing up the recent in-game economy changes and for urging positive action from other players. With this being said, it is quite obvious how G.E. views the community for the game. They only want us around to spend money on premiums, and they only want to balance the game towards making those premiums viable. Avoid this game at all costs.

best part about the division is you never know who your playing with
laggy russians
horny japanese guys
a sports mom having time alone on her computer
no matter what they're doing
they somehow don't know how to use push to talk.
