nah when I click all the way through it still says available soon
solemn tapir
for me not haha
hushed tendon
it is indeed different though
hushed tendon
maybe theyre about to drop thats why they updated it with the platform selection. that wasnt there previously
Oh Monolith
maybe theyre releasing retail pre orders by country
of course aus would be last hahaha
just hope I can get one in time
solemn tapir
maybe theyre about to drop thats why they updated it with the platform selection...
i think the page is crashed cuz too much orders

must be. the page loads for me though, but yeah it must be available for you
I hope I can snag one
solemn tapir
i want my backpack and heck
hushed tendon
i would love to get the backpack too, but in australia I am estimating that edition of the game is going to cost over $500 australian dollars
I dont have that much money hahaha
I will settle for collector's with the cool statue
earnest urchin
yeah i am afraid the price here will skyrocket too. the shops in here are behaving like scalpers
solemn tapir
its used to show a white screen now it says avaible soon
i can access it but just white page
hushed tendon
game prices in australia have always been extremely high
due to currency conversion + retail markup due to importation costs
the digital ultimate edition costs $110 USD, wich converts to about $140 AUD, then has a markup of $40 dollars to make it $180 AUD
earnest urchin
hushed tendon
still going to buy the retail version though
I have collector's editions of shadow of chernobyl and clear sky

i will pay 305 dollars for the ultimate edition

guys homer simpson is the antagonist of stalker 2
wispy walrus
lmao this is reminding me of all the people who are
SHOCKED s2 has special editions and pre order dlc
meanwhile every game has had this
vapid compass
even if stalker 2 is great people will still probably play stalker 1 games cus 2 will be very different (graphics and all)
there will always be traditionalists
wispy walrus
do all these recent stalker adopters just think the game has always been $15 or free through repacked mods ever since they released lmao, it almost seems like that talking to some people.
random vortex
even if stalker 2 is great people will still probably play stalker 1 games cus 2...
Of course the graphics are gonna be different, but what makes you think the gameplay is gonna be that much different than the originals?
golden moon
lmao the pay for everything modal
campfire stories whatever that is
season pass
gameplay looks different from the demo
but can't say much
the devs themselves said they're aiming to fit the target audience more
wispy walrus
its just a pre order thing, the season pass is a pre order only thing, by the sounds the dlc are gonna be more like cs and cop
golden moon
we're not the target audience assuming 'we' are the average stalker soc/cs/cop playerbase
wispy walrus
remember this
GSC has basically said before in old interviews if I remember right, they think of cs and cop as DLC/expansions basically
golden moon
the target audience can't be niche
bad for the game's sales figures you see
they're definitely going to make it less janky and cruel to you from the start
random vortex
Imagine being this much of a doomsayer before we've even seen real gameplay.
golden moon
lmao be realistic 
also i'm literally going off what they said themselves
and how is saying 'gameplay will be different' and being a doomsayer the same
wispy walrus
i'm assuming the dlc will be more standalone storylines, hence why you will only be able to buy them standalone without a season pass available post pre order period
golden moon
makes sense
random vortex
You're jumping off the deep end like some schizo.
wispy walrus
they're going to probably run like mini cops
detached from the main story's char
might be a good idea, could do dlcs focused on certain factions with a new main char
golden moon
You're jumping off the deep end like some schizo.
damn maybe explain what you mean and i can correct myself
vernal magnet
For a franchise that has a niche hardcore audience and a pretty wide fan base other than that the series requires zero dumbing down to make it appeal to more people
All it needed was a fresh cost of paint honestly
golden moon
'doomsayer' 'schizo' you asked for an explanation
wispy walrus
hardcore
bruh
misery isnt at all hardcore
its just tedious BS
everyone seems to think its going to be misery like and stuff
golden moon
All it needed was a fresh cost of paint honestly
also kinda true
i disliked anomaly initially but i can see why it's so appealing to new people
doesn't really look the same as cop if you'd like it not to, some mechanics are completely taken over, its just more appealing than investing time into actually learning how a game works
wispy walrus
its not going to be a fork of american modding at all, all the new devs are from the Russian branch which has evolved completely different and has a bigger player base
and does way different stuff
wispy walrus
more just in general, but kinda you
take ap-pro's mod polls, their top mods for like a year were NLC 7 and op2.1 and some misc story mods.
all the shoc stuff was NS related forks except for the month or two after the big anomaly update
vernal magnet
more just in general, but kinda you
My point should be taken in context of what I was saying. Hardcore refers to the audience, not the gameplay. Misery is also a mod and not a good indicator of where the new game is going
wispy walrus
Yeah, I hope its not like misery
I say make it like classic games but touch the flow up
leave the choice to modding
i love my self some nlc level hardcore with bartering instead of trading, etc
but don't put it in the base game lol
vernal magnet
I’m just hoping for a more dynamic and open zone like the original vision has always strived for
More A-Life immersion
vernal magnet
The new Russian product pages confirmed eating sleeping and some basic anomaly elements. Also mutant lairs confirmed
And sun mutant types
Sub-mutant types*
wispy walrus
yeah, shoc and cop already had sub mutants
funny enough
cs too
and they acted different in combat
wispy walrus
yeah, they're just expanding on ideas
vernal magnet
Exciting stuff
wispy walrus
you can tell they've wanted to do nests, just the tech wasn't there till this time
vernal magnet
I’m excited to see what happens being technical limitations are way less nowadays
Especially targeting next gen platforms only. No PS4/Xbox one nonsense

No loading zones.
wispy walrus
but I really hope they do faction themed story dlcs with new chars
vernal magnet
No loading zones.
Yea that’s a major plus out the gate
wispy walrus
ignore letting you join factions in the main game to help stuff not get broken, but do dlcs centered around a faction member
marsh dome
In view of the descriptions of the pre-orders, this implies that we will not be a member of a faction. But more of a close collaborator ??
wispy walrus
that's how its always been in the last 3 games, you never fully join any
just mods always try to let you join the factions for real, so the possibly is there that they COULD do it that way
wispy walrus
what
marsh dome
did they say so in previous interviews? I do not remember. It's a shame, I don't really like this concept of soc and cop
solemn tapir
i was almost able to pre order my copy
I WANT MY ULTIMATE RETAIL EDITION BLYAT
i wait for this game for 12 years
marsh dome
that's how its always been in the last 3 games, you never fully join any
In CS we were real members
wispy walrus
oh yeah cs
cs is always kinda a blur in my mind
but was being a member in that really that fun
they had no dedicated quests really
lmao
marsh dome
I I thought so much that they were going to keep the concept without going deep into the mechanics of war
wispy walrus
i'd rather there be dedicated dlc with a new char as faction members with a special story than half baked faction wars
i think its pretty much been stated lore wise the era of
"faction wars" is over and wont be back
marsh dome
the dynamic was thought to integrate the faction, the packtage of the beginning, the control of the zones, the stages to be unlocked with at the end the exo of freedom for example
marsh dome
"faction wars" is over and wont be back
yes it seems to be called that unfortunately
random vortex
"faction wars" is over and wont be back
Won't get to exterminate freedom anymore. 😢
wispy walrus
imo the ultimate fate of the zone will be a roadside picnic setting
a special unit has the borders on lockdown
the instutite has the state mandate on all artifacts and research with an iron grip basically
there's a wall around the whole place

finite dragon
wispy walrus
one of the old s2 2011 quest lines end goal was making Duty into the SPECIAL ZONE division of the Army from what ive understood
basically I imagine at some point probably not s2
s2 will be themed around the decline of stalking as we know it
introduction of legal passes and institute sponsored stalkers who'll strong arm the business
etc
vernal magnet
s2 will be themed around the decline of stalking as we know it
Quite thematically close to the second half of roadside picnic

another scam bot
I actually missed that the steam url is fake.
wispy walrus
factions as we know them will die out imo
say duty does merge with the army as a special border division
freedom breaks up due to a history of issues they have internally, etc

The problem with the pre order is that the "few days" turn into a month for more info and its still not clear . We still don't know what country will have pre order available outside of russia . And again we don't have any information on when it will be open just vague information like " look at the pre order section " .

It isn't in GSC's hands, it's whichever retailers bought it
You'll probably be able to buy the xbox edition at eb games
but PC will be a lot harder
arctic rover
It isn't in GSC's hands, it's whichever retailers bought it
they told about that they will publish the game
so that means gsc game publishing will be in russia and ukraine
and they choose the retailers
and they might still add more retailers from ukraine or russia
like there are only 3 stalker preorder retailers in ukraine and 8 in russia
wispy walrus
we should take a moment and ask ourselves
who the heck is going to sell them in the USA
i dont think gamestop even does online preorders do they?

THQ Nordic GmbH (formerly Nordic Games GmbH) is an Austrian video game publisher based in Vienna. Formed in 2011, it is a publishing subsidiary of Embracer Group. Originally named Nordic Games, as was the parent company, both companies were renamed THQ Nordic in August 2016 after the parent company had acquired the "THQ" trademark in 2014.
they bought the entirety of THQ's publishing rights for like $3m
its why they own so much stuff
they got like 200 game's from it

I mean, I understand it's really complicated, gsc is not microsoft or sony, but still, there is solution, I mean a lot of start up managed to do it so :/ I love the games (even CS ^^) and I've continued playing them to this day (my last playthrough of CoP is two weeks old). And I must say that I want to support them, I want to be able to get the CE, and I fear that we will see it pass right under our nose despite having supported the licence, I mean I own at least 3 copies of each games and know I'm asking myself "will I be able to buy the CE before it runs out ?"

not as much as graphic card shortages though amiright? who doesnt wanna pay double for a 3070

everyone is always like pandemic pandemic
It's not only about assembly but logistic too, and for example currently in some big city in china they do 4 day weeks of work, so 20% less production on a work week, plus logistical problems. But I think we are off topic ^^'
