$1...? STALKER rip off?

[Neonetik]

I smell something fishy here... pay to win microtransactions maybe? I expect this to be taken off the store soon...

Does it have microtransactions?

I hope that the small patch just now - made some of the text in game display as English. Because, it's hard to play without being able to read and understand Russian :(

this doesn't seem to be the case sadly

I just got the new small patch, went to start it up and AVG locked my computer and told me there was something bad about it. Could have been a miscatch, but who knows. I know I don't..

Also, I did notice there was microtransactions, but I have no idea what or how much. They are called bills I think, I found a place where you could "buy bills"

So? Doesn't mean if someone doesn't buy this they'll be going out to buy McDonald's. No one wants to waste money, no matter how little of a price.

Plus, it's good that people are double checking before supporting a game/developer. We don't want more Slaughtering Grounds/Time Ramesside games on Steam, y'know?

Pfft. It's still less than 1USD. To people with jobs, that's nothing. It's more likely nowadays that an American dev or publishing company makes a rip-off game than a few people in Russia trying to get out a game. From what I'm hearing, the game has been around quite some time and it's still going. Maybe now they'll be able to get some money to focus more on it and polish it up. I say, good luck to them. No reason to be too cynical with a practical giveaway.

Oh, no! You might be losing a whole 99 cents! *GASP*

Seriously, guys? It's a cheap-ass game. If it sucks, that really shouldn't be surprising.

I actually found that most of it is in English. If you go up to one of the NPCs, interact with it, exit out of the window, and then interact with it again, it will actually display what they are saying in English.

EDIT: Also, how the ♥♥♥♥ did you get the pistol?

From what I understand the game does have microtransations and it is free to download from their website...

... but you also do get 100 of the ingame currency for purchasing through steam as a thanks for your support, as is stated in the store page info.

So the only fishy thing I see here is op's sight and everybody elses obssession with cheeseburgers :D
