StopGame Live – January

Are you already tired of waiting for the live broadcast schedule?? Us too. But now it’s a time of magic and all that, and we ourselves haven’t really decided yet what awaits both us and you - in the very next days and weeks on the pages of StopGame.ru. However, more or less accurately we know a few things, which we will share right now.

Thing number zero: we are slightly transforming the broadcast format. Instead of piling up unsustainable shows, each month we'll pick a theme and stick with it. And we’ll start by summing up the results of the past year.

Over the course of the month, we will consider the most incomprehensible and/or controversial positions from among our nominees in the “Results of the Year”. Games that we didn't expect in certain categories, games that require additional explanation, or dark horses that we haven't played ourselves but would be happy to figure out why we were nominated. But the month is not limited to this!

Firstly, the second and immediately festive issue of “What? Where? When?“didn’t take place within last December, but it’s still about to happen.

What? Where? When? (After)Holiday Edition Tuesday, January 9, 20:00

On this unremarkable, but probably very solemn Tuesday evening, the second meeting will finally take place shitload of experts experts on all issues, among whom Maxim Kulakov seems to have been spotted replacing Andrei Makoveev. Otherwise, the composition is the same: in the main role (leading) is Dmitry Kungurov, and in the positions of defendants are Maxim Solodilov, Vasily Galperov, Ivan Loev and Gleb Meshcheryakov.

[Month of Year Review] Super Mario Odyssey. With a baby or a woman! Thursday, January 11, 20:00

Vasily Galperov and Dmitry Kungurov are the two main culprits that Super Mario Odyssey became the best arcade game. Because right before the New Year, both bought themselves a Nintendo Switch and immediately rushed into the arms of “children’s games.”. We are not loyalists, we are not Nintendo busters and have never been known to have any disreputable connections with the Wii or U before. Therefore, perhaps our explanation will suit you more than the jubilant foreign 10/10. Behind the wheel - Dmitry Kungurov.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Not again, but again Friday, January 12, 23:00

[here I should have written a description myself, but it’s so difficult to do in the conditions of everyone being fed up with PUBG, that I’ll just ask you to pay a little more attention to the timing - yes, we’re back at 23:00. ]

[Month of Year Review] Hollow Knight. Heading? Not aware Saturday, January 13, 21:00

[and there should have been a description here, but I can only hope that Hollow Knight looks at least a little better than Shovel Knight]

[Month of Year Results] RiME. I came, I saw, I screamed! Monday, January 15, 19:00

Walking through ancient ruins and searching for important items behind puzzle barriers is all that RiME offers at first glance for lovers of original adventures. But how did such a simple adventure game end up on the shortlist of as many as three nominations in the 2017 Results?? Daur Avidzba and Mikhail Naritsa will try to find the key to solving this riddle.

[Month of Year Results] Get Even. Best storyline in a shooter? Tuesday, January 16, 20:00

“Okay, all I know about Get Even is that the whole game is about the gun from Wanted that shoots around corners.”. This began the argument between Dmitry Kungurov and Vasily Galperov about whether Get Even is worth being nominated for “Best Story”. For some reason, in the minds of the first, the game was put aside as a passable and useless shooter, but the second was full of conscious determination and did his best to push for Get Even’s participation in the “Results of the Year”. Let's see if it was worth it!

Summer Lesson. Schoolgirl Wednesday, January 17, https://royal-oak-casino.co.uk/ 20:00

Armored Warfare. Operation Canned Food Thursday, January 18, 18:00

Modern tanks are sleek, fast vehicles, stuffed with all kinds of sophisticated electronics and dynamic protection units. It would be very unpleasant if such a beauty caught a landmine, wouldn’t it?? Evgeny Baranov and Ivan Loev intend to catch all the land mines while they carry out the first story-based special operation in the history of Armored Warfare.

[Year Review Month] Yakuza Kiwami – Zero. Total zero headlines Thursday, January 18, 20:00

Patient Galperov is already familiar with the series of games about the Yakuza and will monitor the progress of the experiment, and patient Kungurov will try out the “Best Remake” for himself and try to understand why Kiwami claimed the “Best Third-Person Action Game”.

Dwarf Fortress. Days without incident: 0 Friday, January 19, 18:00

The new fortress had barely had time to acquire bedrooms and a future dining room when a tragedy shook the small community of bearded men - a farmer disappeared without a trace! What happened? He was killed by a cougar? Carps grabbed him by the beard and dragged him to the river bottom? Maybe he got drunk to the point of being close to the vegetables in his charge and fell into the canyon? Evgeniy Baranov and Mikhail Naritsa will soon find out what happened, and which idiot will go to the grave next.

Metal Gear Survive. Survive the open beta test! Friday, January 19, 20:00

No one asked for this (least of all, we), but Konami decided, in the absence of its illustrious genius, to continue his life’s work and release a stand-alone expansion for the fifth Metal Gear Solid. In an alternate universe. With classic zombie survival mechanics. And since we got to the beta test (and everyone who wanted a Playstation 4 console in their pocket got there), Ivan Loev and Maxim Solodilov went to the fields of a completely alternative reality to study the subject of conversation more closely.

[Month of Year Review] Indie 20!7. Three unknowns Sunday, January 21, 20:00

The indie patrol represented by Ivan Loev and Gleb Meshcheryakov is no longer surprised by anything. They know everything, have played everything and are familiar with everything. But the self-proclaimed “third most Indian on the site” Dmitry Kungurov knows nothing: neither Beat Cop, nor Ruiner, nor Pyre. We will conduct a quick inspection of these three games - whether they deserve their places, and in what categories?

Daur Avidzba and Mikhail Naritsa will explain what they did, and why the game became a nominee for “best arcade”.

[RETRO stream] Diablo: Hellfire. Putrid Pixels of Hellish Torment Tuesday, January 23, 18:00

In a distant time, when the earth was still warm and mammoths ran across it, people believed in Hell and in the Devil, who rules it. To combat this fear, specially trained Blizzard Entertainment employees designed a project where the hero must kill this Devil. Ivan Loev is ready to plunge into these dark dungeons of the past, while the rest of the retro team consisting of Gleb Meshcheryakov and Evgeniy Galuza will support him from calmer and safer places.

[Year Review Month] Persona 5. Persona players vote for Persona? Tuesday, January 23, 20:00

This is probably the biggest secret that remains for the entire editorial staff in “Results of the Year”. Nobody really played Persona (we repent), no one voted for it (we repent), but we all the time watched very carefully how people were drowning for an incomprehensible Japanese game, as for the best plot, the best RPG, the best soundtrack and the best everything. Having purchased Japanese goods on sale on PSN, Dmitry Kungurov and Vasily Galperov will ask Katerina Krasnopolskaya what is hidden behind the anime cutscenes.

Minecraft. Endless cubes of suffering and pain Wednesday, January 24, 20:00

Five experts lost the battle against the insidious questions of the audience in the second stage of the winter cup “What? Where? When?» according to StopGame.ru, because of which they are forced to go to survive in the wild and unfriendly expanses of Minecraft.

[the description will be closer to the point (probably)]

Dead by Daylight - the Saw Chapter. Kramer is alive Saturday, January 27, 21:00

The DBD universe has once again been replenished with a famous title in the horror genre - Saw. The famous traps of John Kramer, an unidentified maniac with a pig's head and a slaughterhouse with tons of blood and many dark corners. Andrey Artamokhin and Gleb Meshcheryakov will try to unravel all of Kramer's traps in time and not compromise their moral principles.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Wes and Flynn Stream PUBG Sunday, January 28, 7:00 p.m

Wes and Flynn went live. There is no better game for these two to show coordinated, clear, tactical work, and get a headshot in the first seconds after landing.

[Month of Year Results] Endless Space 2. Cruel galaxy! Tuesday, January 30, 18:00

Endless Space 2 became the strategy of the year so suddenly that we were all a little stunned here. And the winner turned out, so to speak, “by contradiction”: because Warhammer (which is Total War) did not deserve it, the other Warhammer (which 40,000 and Dawn of War 3) did not deserve it either, and in general there are some helpless rivals all around... Evgeniy Baranov and Mikhail Naritsa are already running Pepelats to personally verify the quality of the game.

Shadow of the Colossus. In the Shadow of a Masterpiece Wednesday, January 31, 20:00

While the entire civilized world is chasing the giants headlong in Monster Hunter: World, the not so civilized Ivan Loev got his hands on another game about the struggle between little people and big monsters, a remake of one of the best games of the Playstation 2 era - Shadow of the Colossus, and is already ready to go fight the giants. He will be accompanied by Vasily Galperov.

☺ He deserved the championship in terms of positive mood for the reporting December of last year Alexander Shumakov, who was recently drafted into the army, but still he managed to nominate a certain Sabrina Lynn and even promised to keep his finger on the pulse in the future and steadily add new names to our “business card of positivity”.
