27/08/2008 Holding disk in my hands

Postby gubr » Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:27 am

Dear Friends, I'm glad to announce that I bought the game. I ordered it 3 days ago, the seller told me to come at 02:00 PM today and promised me that they will have huge amount of disks. I came today at 01:00 and 1 disk only remained. For me. Thanks to the seller, she kept me in mind.

The game set contents: carton cover, DVD disk in DVD-box (with serial number for internet gaming) and a small book with tales and stories about the Zone written by amateur writers who participated in a contest concerning "Stories about The Zone" (258 pages). The set cost $32. Yesterday they promised me not more then $25.50.

Wow, Gubr, amazingly good pirates you have in Ukraine :D
(Jokin' :P)

How the hell did you already buy it... :F The release of russian version was earlier than this freakin' 5th of September?!

And also cheaper- amazon.com states 39,99$!

I know that the game was on the wholesale warehouses 10 days ago. They just were not allowed to sell it or deliver to retailers. ))) But I have good relations with the seller - she likes complements! )))

On Russian forums there are already ppl who walked the game through. They say it took 14 hours for them! )))

14 hours is a good amount... especially for russian ppl who are alike to chineese and japaneese (they probably walked it without brakes longer than it takes to pee or load another level :P).

Steam is saying Dec 6th as a release date now.


Haha! And I can leave thoughts that probably on Steam it would be earlier to pre download or something :P

5,5 hours of gameplay - not crashes. It took 4 hours to stir on the Swamp area to find about 80% of tasks and stashes. Hell, I ain't gonna sleep tonight! ))) No crashes on the Swamp and no crashes on the Cordon. Patch 1.0003 for CS.

The game is very well balanced in terms of trading, but you still can get reach! ))) VERY good upgrade system for weapons and equipments. Far less of anomalies and monsters, far more people stalking around. No monster parts (about 10 Flashes - no eyes, about 25 wild pigs - no hooves). Didn't met bloodsucker on the Swamp. No artefacts during 5 hours 30 minutes of gameplay - artefacts became really rear things.

Just in case my configuration:

And once again - you can get by and have some upgrade working with tasks! That brings more money then trading weapons as it should be (not in real life offcourse)! ))) Very good game! )))

Nope - none! ))) Probably it is some kind of improvement as artifacts should be rear. Hope to find some in other areas. )
