I’ve been waiting so long for this. Bought the original collection when Call of Pripyat came out. Now, just a couple of days away, I can dive back into the Zone with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2!
Ah, the magic of digital downloads. Times have changed.
That sounds amazing! The original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are classics. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is going to be a trip. Have fun!

Thanks! Can’t wait to jump in.
So cool! Hope you have a great time, mate.

Appreciate it, bud!
Hope it’s good on launch day. I’m planning to wait for reviews or grab it on Game Pass. Preordering’s a bit risky, especially with how rough this game’s development has been.

Smart move. This is one of the few games I couldn’t resist preordering. Hopefully, it’s stable enough at launch. The older games had bugs too, but they were still amazing!
@Noe
At least you grabbed a limited edition with physical goodies. That makes preordering worth it.
@Noe
True. Bugs are kind of part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. charm. Let’s just hope it’s not too shallow or riddled with issues at launch.
@Noe
Wait, were the older games really that buggy?

Oh yeah, tons of bugs! Unmanned gun nests firing, events not triggering, areas that were supposed to be filled with enemies being empty… but honestly, it added to the experience in a weird way.
Now I know what size package to expect in the mail. So hyped!
Can’t wait to get back to the Zone! Love everything S.T.A.L.K.E.R., from the games to the books. But new games are so pricey… gotta wait a while before I can grab it.

The books are awesome, right? The Zone really spares no one…
Pricing is rough, I get that. Back in the day, I got the whole collection for about 30 euros. Now, new releases are so much more. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 starts at 60, which isn’t the worst, but still steep.
If you’re interested, it’s on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Might be worth checking out.
@Noe
Yeah, but I’ve been sticking to older games since they’re so much cheaper. Plus, I’m not into subscriptions anymore. Canceled all of mine already.
Still have my old lenticular box version and the radiation tin case of Shadow of Chornobyl. One of my all-time favorites.
No preorders, ever.

Well, guess I’m preordering 10 copies now.
For me, it’s about supporting a Ukrainian developer, especially now. Plus, we’ve been waiting forever for this game!
