Eh, postponed again... But it's better to wait and get a quality product than to play a raw game. At least they showed a new trailer 🎮
Olena
I agree with you, Dmytro! Better let them fix it. Did you see that moment in the trailer where the interface was shown? Looks very stylish! 😍
Hans
I'm tired of these constant transfers. But I'm still waiting for the game. I wonder how they implement the quest system? On August 12, I will definitely watch Developer Deep Dive 🧐
Sophie
Hans, I can't wait for the Developer Deep Dive too! I hope they show more about the anomaly system. BTW, does anyone know if the game will support mods like the previous installments? 🤔
Viktor
But all this is a marketing ploy! Deliberately delayed to fuel interest. And we behave like fools. It would be better to go over the old parts than to wait for the unknown.
Isabella
Viktor, don't be such a pessimist! 😄 GSC Game World has always made quality games. I am sure that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be simply incredible. And it's also cool that they're releasing the game on Xbox Series X/S - more people will be able to enjoy it!
Maksym
Isabella is right! In addition, the development of such a large-scale game in the conditions of war is a feat. I'm proud of our developers and I'm ready to wait as long as it takes 🇺🇦💪
Olena
Maksym, absolutely agree! Did you know that GSC Game World has been working on the game since 1995? That's almost 30 years of experience! I am sure they will take into account all the wishes of the fans and do something incredible 🌟
