Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

Developer GSC Game has sold enough copies of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to make the project profitable. The company's investor Maxim Krippa said this in an interview with Forbes.

Details.

• When asked how many copies of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 should be sold to make it a commercially successful project, Krippa answered: “We have already sold enough to make the project profitable.”
• He did not disclose the amount of investment in the game. “Of course, it's tens of millions of dollars,” he said.

G.G

Bought the game even though it was on Game Pass to support GSC.

Cool. I bought it to support the studio since there is nothing like the STALKER games.

I have't played it though, I'm gonna jump in after a few more patches.

That’s great. My favorite game this year.

Happy to hear. Hopefully they can work on improving the game and make it even better

I'm still waiting for a Patch.
But nice to hear that it made profit.

I did my part. I'm only 10hrs in but the game has its teeth in me. It's so good. I know the games aren't direct adaptations, but as a huge fan of Tarkovsky's STALKER, the atmosphere and ambiance feel like an expansion of the world and universe established in the movie. Nothing in the game feels like it's out of the realm of possibility of what could exist within The Zone from the movie.

Very well deserved.

Should I wait for more patches or is it in a good place now?

 

[Garibaldi]

Great news. Now make it work properly please

Should I wait for more patches or is it in a good place now?

For me the most important mechanic (A-Life) is not yet implemented. Personally I'm waiting on that. Hopefully sometime next year.

The best news!
Ultimate Edition here. Fantastic game. #2 this year for me, only surpassed by surprise banger Indiana Jones.

I'm playing on XSX right now and haven't encountered any glaring issues that deter me from continuing to play. Some minor stuff here and there, but nothing that doesn't resolve itself or isn't fixed by reloading. For the most part, it looks and plays great on XSX with HDR and VRR. I thought the performance mode looked very ugly initially, but realized HDR and VRR were turned off. Made a few adjustments and the visual experience improved drastically.

It’s certainly in the running for me.

Congratulations! Good stuff! Happy for these devs and the studio.

 

[yogaflame]

I will definitely buy this games once it comes out for ps5.

Sad to hear how this half-ass game actually made a profit. This is going to encourage the same kind of shoddy practice from other studios.

Yet lots of posters in this thread are saying its their game of the year.

I bought the Ultimate Edition and don't regret it. I love the franchise and never thought a sequel would come. Already finished the game and was left satisfied, will revisit after they patch A-Life and other stuff. The game has bugs, but STALKER has always had them. If you're a fan, you're used to that...

I, for one, am happy that this wonderful game made by a studio that went through what it did, and lost so much has made enough money to turn a profit.

Looking forward to playing more of it tonight!

Most out of touch post I've read this year.

So happy for the devs, game is all I wanted, amazing story for those like me who are STALKER fanatics.

Think I'll jump in once I get my hands on a 5090. Surely it will be pretty patched up by then.

 

[ZehDon]

Glad to hear it. My GOTY and the most immersive atmosphere in the industry. Deserves all the success.
