I bought Pavlov because there are a lot of mods in the Steam Workshop. Unfortunately, we no longer have access to Steam mods. Most of the good Steam mods are gone. I advise you against buying this game.
Игра классная, хорошая механика перезарядки, хорошее ощущение отдачи. Есть мастерская и много режимов, неплохие проработанные моды на оружие. НО! Главная ее проблема это онлайн. В будни вечером в сети от силы 50 человек, половина серверов закрытые. Мы создаем свой открытый серв, что бы люди заходили играть с нами. За минут 20 игры набивается полный сервер (10 человек народу). Вы начинаете веселое педулово, но тут заходит ОН! Любитель рафа на сперме, сын своих отцов, тот чье имя внесено на доску почетных ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - чел с софтом. И начинает ломать вам игру со счетом 100 - 1. Вы не сможете убить его толпой, закидать гранатами и тд. Он будет убивать вас в голову как только увидит. И кикнуть админ его не может, посколько если серв не куплен то и сделать ты ничего не можешь. И так игра превращает в тир для одного клоуна. Длится это долго не может и народ либо ливает с серва либо объявляет охоту на петуха (от нее нет эффекта) Будьте готовы к этому. К сожалению это не разовый случай, мы наиграли уже 10 часов в этом режиме и почти в каждый бой залетает такой тип.
I really like the bones of this game. It's REALLY good. Everything is just super buttery smooth and fluid, and every gun handles like a dream. I truly have no complaints against the actual gunplay of this game. Which is why it hurts to have to not recommend it to literally anybody. I'm serious, and I have very good reasons for it. Allow me to tell you a story… [h3]Chapter 1: The Apotheosis[/h3] In May of 2020, Vankrupt would release an update with modding tools for the Steam Workshop. It was one of the greatest updates in the game’s history. This update would bring a plethora of diverse and interesting maps, gamemodes, guns, models, whatever you wanted really! Wanted to play CoD Zombies in Pavlov? Go ahead man! Want to port a map from a different game or make one from scratch? Sure, totally! And it was all hosted on one of the most player friendly mod managers to ever exist. The Steam Workshop. It handles everything for you. One click and you’re done. It’s downloaded, installed, configured, and right there for you to play. Mods turned this game from A tier above everything else to ascendant. It was whatever you wanted, however you wanted it. This was a game for everyone now. [h3]Chapter 2: The Drought[/h3] Around December-ish of 2021 I would begin to play Pavlov on pc. Update 28, otherwise known as the Push update had just come out, and it was really cool. It added WWII tanks and a huge Battlefield style game mode with a ton of players. It was sick! Running around with a Lee-Enfield while tank shells are flying right by your head in VR is awesome! I really made you wonder what would even be in the next update, considering everything that was added up to that pont. January comes and goes, and a few hotfixes are put out to patch some bugs. It’s still pretty early for an actual update to come out but crazier things have happened in this games lifespan so who knows! February rolls by and there’s no updates. That’s totally fine! Most updates come out in about 3 or 4 months so maybe next month! End of March. No updates. Oh well, it’s probably going to come out next month! It is now July of 2022. No news of updates. Radio silence. Something is very wrong. We should have gotten some sort of news or something but… nothing? Absolutely positively nothing? Not even a hotfix? Oh well, I guess I just have to discover this games awesome modding scene! December of 2022. What’s this? A beta for update 29? Finally! Oh man this update must be huge to take this long! I can’t wait to look at the patch notes! [h3]Chapter 3: The Murder[/h3] It wouldn’t be until June of 2023 in which Update 29 would be released. This update was absolutely massive! The changes are too many to count! Look at all of this! Crossplay with PSVR2 and new character models and new guns and hand poses, oh my! But… what’s this? The game has been updated to… Unreal Engine 5? Okay, I mean… UE5 is… fine I guess but alright. And then I saw it. The worst header to ever exist in a steam news article. [i]”Retiring Steam Workshop and In-Game Mod Browser”[/i] Oh… Oh no… In one single update, they had completely obsoleted literally EVERY SINGLE MOD EVER MADE FOR THIS GAME. Unacceptable doesn’t even begin to describe the behavior shown here! Vankrupt had basically spit in the face of every modder! No more CoD Zombies, No more Dust II. No more mods. Start from scratch on mod.io, nerd. Not only that, but the game doesn’t even function anymore! The audio’s bugging out, your hands are glitching out, it’s slow and laggy, and lots of people can’t even get the game to launch! It’s a disaster! It wouldn’t be until August of that year for the game to actually be in a playable state again. [h3]Chapter 4: The Funeral [/h3] It is now January of 2026. The game now has microtransactions and guns with unicorns on them. It still has constant performance issues. The modding community is basically dead. The game now struggles to average 100 players at any given time. According to [url= https://steamcharts.com/app/555160]Steam Charts[/url] the game has lost about 90% of its player base on PC since December of 2021, around where Push update came out. Pavlov on PC is no more. R.I.P Pavlov.
Make separate servers for dumb kids with PSVR
I like it just wish they didnt get rid of some mod support I cant play the halo mods I used to play.
went from a peak game to an unoptimized mess with microtransations and half of the mods that made the game once great removed
Lowkey the most underhated community and the biggest falloff in vr history but damn this is still pretty damn fire if you find a good server.
Honestly, this used to be one of the best Vr games(imo) I had ever played. I made tons of friends through it, and it got me through covid by playing TTT with tons of people who made the game amazing, especially the people who made the maps. From being a traitor in TTT while standing inside a giant bedroom and being in a SCP Secret Lab to storming the beaches of Normandy to now is just plain sad. Modders really carried this game, but the lack of noteworthy updates, the integration of mod.io, and crossplay with PSVR kinda just ruined the game. Also, in-game currency? It just made the game feel like a quick cash grab when this game was way better than that. This game sadly gets less than 140 people now, with some servers being dead depending on the time of day you get on. Not even my wife's boyfriend plays anymore, and a big chunk of people just left. Basically just like the Lorax when the orange furry pipsqueak dude got mad that the Willy Wonka guy cut down all the trees and forced all the forest friends to relocate in a giant long march. Maybe one day, the citizens of New Town and Pavlovia will revive the game, but sadly, it seems this game is controlled by the traitors using evil gadgets to keep the game dead.
Jogo maravilhoso! Mas cade os brasileiros? cade voces rapaziada! N tem graça jogar, sem ter BR po.
Used to be my favorite VR Shooter out there. Then they added a update that ruined the MOD Workshop and then the game died from there. RIP a good one.
