the author of this article really exaggerates the game’s charm. I played it myself, its so poorly translated I don’t even care what happens.

Hey, LxR. Since you seem to actually be on the team.. is there somewhere we can directly donate to you, since you seem to have a lack of financial support?

Will be snapping this up from gamersgate. No idea how I missed this thread the first time around.

Cheers Quintin

Jeesh… bought stalker aaaaaaaaages ago – the arse won’t even begin to think about running on my creaky old mare, so maybe this could give me that jet black russian atmos fix (I’m aware they’re probably nothing like each other). Like the first time I ever played exile as a lad, the first time I played through the ‘intro’ to hl2, a cohesive and literary atmosphere always makes the game stick in your mind, as much as any book, film or song – these are the games you will still remember when they’re sponge-bathing you at Myopic Towers……want.

Do let us know if you do manage to fund a patch. I don’t expect I’ll wait for one, but it’d certainly be welcome.

I went ahead and read the third part as well but I still want to play this game, just for the experience.

I played through most of Unreal in God mode just so that I could experience the environments and the characters “properly”.

I’ve also spent countless hours in World of Warcraft just wandering around, looking for new stuff that I haven’t seen before – preferably stuff that the devs didn’t want me to find.

Lol. Willem, you don’t get it – we’d love to make a patch. The problem is that we’re a VERY small team (there are only 8 of us) and we all occasionnaly need to eat. If we got proper support from our publisher after the release, like most of the western publishers do – we would have made it a long time ago. So, please, don’t go accusing people for nothing.

Hmm, it seems the developers are only going to finish the English patch after finishing their new game or something. How gay.

Have you, the writer of this article, ever seen “21 Grams”? After watching it for the first time, I felt so depressed. It is one of the few movies that has done that to me before. Same goes for “Eternal Sunshine” which leaves you in the dumps wondering a bunch of what ifs.

Anyways, great article. Really enjoying reading about your experience.

As any other historian will confirm, the past as remembered is different from the past as it was. The US’s #1 single for 1966 was “The Ballad of the Green Berets.” 1941’s box office-topper was Sergeant York: Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon were far down the list.

Wait a second… Dick Sargent… Dick York…. ‘Sergeant York’?!

On that note,

And to think, Bioshock even had the outright gall to pick one of the options of its solitary ethical decision as the ‘right’ one.

I hate it when people say something this meaningless. ‘The outright gall’? What, is there meant to be no qualitative difference between slaughtering little girls for extra junk and curing their genetic affliction? The problem with Bioshock’s “moral choice” was that it was INSULTINGLY OBVIOUS, not that they ‘had the gall’ to say whether or not what you did was a bit nasty.

Actually, there were some events recently which might lead to a patch (a second one, actually, but the first was included in the English master disk) that deals with technical issues, but it’s all very vague, since we get no finacial support for the patch from our publisher.

The title screens and menus will be to one corner of the screen, but the game itself will stretch to fit the resolution you choose.

Anyway it kind of breaks the UI a bit so I wouldn’t bother. The best bet would be creating enough of a revival in demand for them to, if it isn’t too complex, issue a minor patch to brush up the interface in higher resolutions. They’re on the ready line so you never know.
