I bought a copy out of spite lol
I’m honestly tempted even though it’s not my kind of game at all.
There’s really nothing like it.
Stalker takes all of the advantages games normally give you and crush it down to “You ain’t important, bullet-cushion.”
Firefights feel like they have stakes and risk is intense. Nothing that happens can just be shaken off, everything needs attention. It’s not a normal FPS.
Oh, the game isn’t Russian? Shit, I’ll actually buy it then!
Fuck Russia. 👍
Edit: Ultimate edition it is! I am intentional with where I spend my money and I’m super glad to support a Ukrainian company.
It’s developed primarily in Ukraine.
To be clear, the rest was developed in Prague (after they fled the Russian invasion).
No parts that I know of were made in Russia.
Worst I’ve heard about this game is it lacks some of the charming “soul” of the original. That’s not enough to keep me from buying it after Christmas, though.
I heard that the game sucks you through your monitor and uploads you straight to the Ukranian front lines.
You had me at sucks you
The Bloodsuckers in the game do more than just suck blood UwU
Ill probably buy the game just to spite Russia. The fuck do they care about some Ukrainian developers game? It doesn’t affect the war one way or the other… unless they’re afraid it’s going to humanize the Ukrainians.
Dammit am I gonna have to buy this game now just to give Russia the middle finger again?
So… Uh… I didn’t know that Chernobyl was spelled different in Ukrainian and thought they just made a typo on the title screen of the game when I saw “Heart of Chornobyl.”
They changed the spelling after the war started. IIRC they removed the Russian VO as well.
I recall another game being used to draft the player.
