For their DLC, they plan on adding the prison system and funneling players in and out over extremely minimal or imaginary charges, purposely denying them from passing stipulations for parole, and forcing them to pay exorbitant amounts of money for fees while never being able to get a proper job or housing. Every time you get rearrested for not being to pass impossible parole criteria, they add thousands of dollars of debt to your life that you have to repay when you get out or you're arrested yet again. Oh, the realism.

Ah, Avatarika, aka "Dom-3", aka the first "reality show mmo", the OG mmo made for middle aged women that was, actually, very popular with them in 2006-2007. It was originally an official tie-in for the one of the most popular reality shows in history, russian "Dom-2, Build your Love", which ran for 16 years (2004-2020) on the most popular entertainment channel in the country (TNT), they aired a new episone every 6 hours, daily, with millions of people (mostly middle aged women) watching them every single day. p.s. "Dom" means "House" in russian. The goal of the tv show originally was for contestants to build a house and find love, the winner gets to live in said house with their newfound loved one. Dom 1 was exactly that. Dom-2, on the other hand, was basically "watching a bunch of trashy people have sex, argue, fight and do other shit under 24/7 surveilence" for 16 years. edit: I was wrong, they relaunched Dom-2. Its still going. over 17 years now.

A game so based on life that they even took out the fun out of bowling alone. Perfect.

This game actually got rebranded. When i was a wee young russian lad i played the same exact game with the same exact UI and mechanics, same graphics etc called "Dom 3" or "house 3" from a popular russian dating show

Russian here. Never heard of this game. Looks like some sims fan had a "great" idea but didn't think it through. I'll try to comment on what I can to clarify. First, "Avatarica" probably supposed to translate to "Avatarland" or something like that, "avatar" being a word for player character in games. 8:01 Someone answered "hello" with Russian friendly/playful "hi". 8:03 He said that he is playing for a long time and is happy to help. It looks like a real person speaking. 12:05 I think "corns" was supposed to be blisters, no idea how they got this translation 12:38 Hello, American guy! European cars tend to be smaller than yours. I'm not a car person at all but I see cars like that on streets - I think this one is old-ish design but I may be wrong - and the scale seems about right for an old car, or maybe a bit off. Here's a random video with a person walking around and sitting inside an old (soviet-era) car. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHyZtKeLaM7QeaQ.html 13:15 Russian language spelling can be rather hard sometimes, mistakes are easy to make. They tried to translate that into English very very poorly. Crosswords are traditionally a popular passtime, especially for pre-smartphone generations. 17:31 Not many Russians own a car, and taxis are expensive in terms of paychecks. People rely on public transport or walking long distances, so this is realistic (but realism isn't a good idea here of course). I guess walking together is also a socializing experience like driving together in the US. I briefly saw circled "M" on maps, on real maps this usually indicates "metro" (subway train station). If I'm correct, this is probably the intended way for long distance commutes because this is how people get around in largest cities here (again, realistic but bad game design). 19:45 Orthodox calendar is shifted(for no sane reason). So we celebrate Christmas after new year on jan 7th. And whatever the weird calculations are done to determine Easter date resulted in it being in may (in real life) - no idea what logic (if any) is behind this. I literally can still see Easter decorations out my window right now. 20:10 They most likely meant you need at least one person to compete against. Nor sure about the US but bowling here is typically a group activity, and a relatively expensive one. But it is normal and acceptable to play alone. 21:25 Some high-end clubs can have a bouncer to assess your attire. Never really understood that and never actually tried to get into one, but I'm sure you didn't miss much. Unfortunately a lot of Russian MMOs have hard monetization. Not a lot of people are willing to pour money into the games so they make sure to suck dry anyone who is. Also a lot of them - especially small ones - are "stricter" than American ones, not sure why. Like, more serious effort is expected. Though not normally on Korean grindfest level either although it varies. Anyway I totally agree this sad excuse for adding realism to a MMO rightfully deserves to die and serve as a reminder that many ideas look interesting when discussed in abstract terms, but immediately seem stupid when implemented in reality. P.S. no comment on how boring soviet-era buildings and roads are? Or why you do not need to drive to get to a shop, or why shops are not giant-sized?

To be fair, he sometimes comes out of these Worst MMO Ever videos with a positive outlook, so you could get lucky lol.

10:40 that´s just so surreal one could think this a "I´m doing mushrooms without realizing it" moments

I FOUND IT, the audio, I know what it is from!!! @10:07 - The "Yahoo" - it's a slightly slowed-down maybe down pitched as well, sound effect of when you character select LARK from Pilot wings 64

BTW on the Easer comment, Russia is a predominantly Orthodox Christian nation. and in Orthodox Christianity Easter was last week.

Seeing ToriVega as a username, just makes me feel like I’m watching a video from 2011

I was wondering if someone caught this lmao.

amazing content as usual. *sees dog* WHAT A GOOD BOY! keep making great stuff!

3:46 Walking backwards looks like you're terrified of running into a tree with a disasterously placed branch.

Who'd have thought Russia would make the world's best capitalism simulator. Crazy. Great video man, thanks. Really neat cameo from Apollo too!

The cloud's name is Apollo?! That's so cute!

Perusing old videos, pausing out of curiosity and nosiness, and noticing a folder of Paul Shapera's music made me smile :)

"I'm actually intrigued by the concept of death.." Me too Josh, me too.

Apollo DON'T GO IN THE FREEZER!

ur channel is growing pretty fast :) happy for you

i'd love to see you take a look at "will to live online". one of the few MMOs i personally tried - and while it's not as completely hopeless as some of the games you've covered, it might still be fun to pick apart.

I hope Apollo got some treats and love after the freezer confusion, he seems like a good boy.

Apollo's an arctic fluffy boi he'll be ok.

Sipping a beverage every time you hear the word "virtual" would lead to dangerous inebriation.

Or death, holy hell.

2:00 look how disappointed this dog is! “Uh I didn’t come all this way to be in some lame skit -you better throw a ball or give me a treat er something”

I commented this on his runes of magic vid just the other day. Would be great if the devs were sometimes involved to answer for their crimes

I chuckled at the "...is not actually your friend" line. Well played.

Don`t worry that`s normal. It is the fear of the Russian guy getting serious.

all jokes aside, that car was scaled just fine

Okay, but can we appreciate how unreasonably adorable JSH's dog is?

Your dog is adorable! And hope everyone is having a good day.

One of your funniest videos yet, and that's really saying something, especially when the game is so clearly not entertaining in the slightest! I lost it at the "LETTER... FROM HELL" thing.

You’re opening description is just of the real world. Most realistic game to date

The religious song with the Mario yelling had me in tears!

OMG the transformation, pupper looks so happy now.

Looks like the kind of game where you could meet a Nigerian prince in person.

Subscribed because I'm glad I'm not the only one with a desktop that resembles a brutal murder scene.

This series is great it helps show me what not to implement into my games
