Streamer Dr DisRespect has been one of the biggest mainstays on Twitch for a while now, with the comedic personality winning awards for his content and finding major success both in the world of video games and outside of it. It’s safe to say that’s he’s a major influence on what games find popularity on the streaming scene, with massive titles such as Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends all being crucial parts of his content over the last year. However, it seems as though Dr DisRespect may be looking to start 2020 by hopping on one of the biggest current Twitch tre

In recent days, that game is Escape from Tarkov . For those who may not know, Escape from Tarkov could be described as a first-person survival MMO-like game with some elements of battle royale and PVP mixed in. Additionally, the game also has story and quest-based content to experience. One NPC in particular is an unlockable vendor named Jaeger, who has a series of helpful quests tied to

Sound is incredibly important in this game as it can let you know where other players are and making too much noise will alert other players to your presence. Put a decent pair of headphones on and site turn the volume up so you can hear what’s going on around

Russian studio Battlestate Games is in hot water today following the resurfacing of an interview with one of its developers from 2016 and accusations of sexism in the development of Escape From Tarkov . In an interview with Alessio Palumbo at WCCF Tech , developer Pavel Dyatlov spoke about the game and its features, playstyle, platform release plans, and towards the end of the interview, the absence of wo

When asked if they had considered having playable female characters, Dyatlov stated that, “We considered that, but we came to the conclusion that women are not allowed to be in the war.” When asked for clarification on the matter since women do serve in the military, continued, “…we came to the conclusion that women can’t handle that amount of stress. There’s only place for hardened men in this pla

Over Twitter, Battlestate recently responded to queries over whether or not Escape From Tarkov would get female PCs with a definitive no, writing that playable female characters wouldn’t fit the “game lore,” and adding that the “huge amount of work” it would take to add in extra animations and gear fitting eliminates the possibility. The game has been growing in popularity recently due to Twitch streamers broadcasting their gameplay, and the heavier spotlight led to Battlestate’s female character comments from 2016 being uneart

On January 6, Battlestate Games replied on Twitter, stating that Dyatlov was not a key studio employee, and that the team respects women in wars and the military. Instead, they affirmed that the decision not to feature ay playable women characters had to do more with the game’s lore and “more importantly – the huge amount of work needed with animations, gear fitting e

Video games artist Delaney King (@delaneykingrox) was quick to unleash a series of tweets countering the notion that creating female characters in games takes a large amount of work and resources. After providing a long list of reasons why this reasoning was largely flawed, it seems that whoever made the statement at Battlestate Games was simply looking for something to pin this entire problem on other than sexism, but was ignorant of the process hims

On the one hand, it can be tricky to navigate such comments in today’s climate of video games and reaction culture. While these comments are from one individual, in this case developer Pavel Dyatlov, it would be wise not to attribute them to the opinions of all employees working on the project. The decision to only incorporate men could have been the result of several factors during development that we are not privy to know as outsid

The message from Jaeger will be underneath the deer stand on the ground. This message can be pretty hard to notice, but it should be an object that players can pick up. After that, players will need to survive the raid and extract successfully. Now that that’s finished, players simply need to take the message back to Mechanic, hand it over, and they will have unlocked Jae

As mentioned before, Escape from Tarkov is currently dominating Twitch’s most viewed games list. However, the game is not just dominating Twitch, but is also seeing huge numbers on other streaming platforms like Mixer. While Twitch still has a firm grasp on the live streaming landscape, streaming platforms like Mixer and Facebook Gaming are slowly but surely building a solid foundation for themsel

On the other hand, this interview is from 2016 and the statement was never been corrected by anyone at Battlestate Games until pressed for comment recently. Since there are still only men as playable characters in the game, one could easily lean towards there being truth to the initial comments made by Dyatlov as representative of the studio’s mental
