Bethesda (based in the US): Sells a rip off collectors edition with a cheap helmet and cheaper backpack GSC Game World (based in Ukraine, who is currently in a war with Russia): Levitating artifact display with cool remote to match and real backpack that looks like it could withstand many hikes. They literally gave this man all the tools to become a Stalker IRL. Edit: this is also AAA vs. Indie dev as well. I'm done buying AAA.
@@starioncostumes : i'm not yelly... Ahhh yes i am😁 No it's a very nice Collection, I looked into it soon as i tuned to ur video but there sold out for the Physical Edition collection, think its one Heck of a Beautiful collection, type one puts behind Glass.
This thing is epic - it has only one flaw: I cannot carry full oxygen tanks on my back with that. Unless i modify the rucksack with an additional "slot" below it >.>
@@starioncostumes I am waiting for mine but this looks like one of the best if not the best collectors of any game Maybe the CoD BO1 RC car, and the BO3 Jug machine comes close.
A figurine, an artbook, an artifact, a ton of smaller goodies (patches, dog tags, postcards) plus a whole backpack! And everything is very well made too, this is up there as far as collector's editions go.
One of the coolest collectors editions I've ever seen. I think it's a massive deal for stalker fans. But what if the Echo detector starts beeping at night 😳
@@yevanasvetya5486 Man I hope GSC Gameworld will make merch. But I think first they have to focus on fixing the game before that, because else people will just complain they are trying to make more money.
Stalker is now a Ukrainian national product that all Ukrainians can be proud of. Exactly as Czechs are proud of Kingdom Come Deliverance and Poles of Witcher. I am glad that I could support Ukrainians at least in this way.
@@fosphor8920you are supporting people, who protecting their homeland from enemy. My close friend was killed by russian soldiers in 2023. She was beautiful girl and I can’t just hope that her death was fast and they didn’t do something humiliating to her before killing her. She just started to play STALKER before russia attacked us and she was so excited about new game.
@@starioncostumes Fallout 76 has come a long way since then, well worth the cheap game key price (I paid less than $5 USD for it, now you can find it for under 1$).
that is some fine af loot! I’m glad the people responsible for stalker, the merch and collector’s edition are so in tune with what the fanbase wants and likes. and I agree, them paying attention even to little details like the back side of a map definitely shows appreciation for their fans.
Gsc gameworld really killed it with all editions. Even my standard edition came in a beautiful steelcase, with the zone permit , stickers and the letter. They really care about their project and the game is awesome!
Indeed - the overall appearance of this collectors edition shows that it was designed for fans and not for money. ✅ I highly appreciate this effort for the community!
This and BG3 collectors edition are the best thing ever to happen for the PC gamers. Its been a long time since we got really good physical collectors edition.
in technically i spent 3600€. why? 3k for a new pc i bought early this year since my old was running into the grave. and then i bought in 2021 the limited pre order retail. which arrived on release. i also bought roughly 2022-23 the ultimate edition on steam since the ultimate retail at that time wasnt available. but as they recently reopened the retail versions as orders i talked to my brother and how i really wanted it but dont got enough money. he gave me the amount i was missing and i was able to buy the ultimate retail. which is still in delievery as gsc announced those will take longer. i am extremly pleased with the limited retail i already have and cant wait for the ultimate one arriving. i already played over 35h of stalker and its been a blast. to quote myself and a friend "stalker without bugs is not stalker." and i still dont question anything. its fun. its great. and i am not disappointed not even slightly. just amazing
hahahaha....My sincere condolences, stalker 2 was my first game after upgrading to a 3080ti and a 1000€ 244HZ 4K monitor. And that is a damn disaster..
So relatable. This game made me do a full upgrade of my PC and my streaming setup. I wanted to save the money for eye surgery to get rid of my glasses but here we go... 😂 Glad you are enjoying the game! If you could name 3 locations in the lesser zone players might miss but should definitely check out, which would they be? 👀
@@starioncostumes my 2 favourite places in the lesser zone are the radar tower in the village. And a smaller water tower roughly northwest ish. Sitting down watching the zone. A true memorable moment. Taking out a stalkers best companion. Afterall who doesn't enjoy an amazing view with some tunes.
@@starioncostumes Man I'm thinking about eye surgery or new pc, in ukraine it's around 1k$ to fix ur vision and new pc will be around 1500$ after rtx 5000 series launch. But why would I get an eye surgery if there's nothing for me to see? XD
Man i'm so glad that I pre-ordered this nearly two years ago. I was really worried about quality being poor, as the industry tends to do, but this looks awesome. I'm so excited, thanks for the video! Sick outfit btw, looks awesome 🙌🙌
@@Killreaperz same here, preordered in 2021 ☢️ But everything in that ultimate edition is a good quality item. There is nothing that feels "cheap". The figure is my favorite item though, how about you?
that backpack and book are so nice. also about the game. even though it is somewhat broken and due to memory leaks i have restart it every 1 hour, i love it so much. it is my first stalker game and oh boy i enjoy every second of it and i vibe a lot with the enviroment and art style of the game. honestly it brings back nostalgic 2000s games feeling to me and it reignited my passion for fps games again( i have not played any shooter games in about 2 or 3 years)
Some people say the bugs are part of the experience, but I barely encounter any and no game breaking ones at all. But on the other end I have friends who have issues 👀 Overall the experience is a good one and I fully agree with your description of the atmosphere!
Best part of stalker is the huge modding community, even if u don't like the base game or have it played out, there will be so much more content to come.
Just wait for the mods. It’s already quite great on pc due to many mods already fixing small balancing problems with the game. A-life fixes will push the game into master piece territory for me
In all my years of being a gaming addict (since 1984) this is absolutely the coolest special gaming edition I've ever seen. I even worked gaming retail from 2000-2012. Duzhe dobre !!
Habe mir die Collector´s Edition gegönnt. Bin mit dieser auch sehr zufrieden. Die Figur ist sehr gut gelungen und detailreich! Zu sehen, das die Lampe und der Rucksack aus der Ultimate Edition gute Qualität sind, ist super. GSC haben mit den Collector´s Editons wirklich gute Arbeit geleistet. Sehen uns in der Zone Stalker
Ungelogen? Die Figur ist mein Lieblingsstück - wer sich auch immer die Collectors gegönnt hat, macht damit eindeutig nichts falsch! Vielleicht ist die sogar der bessere Deal - weil die Figur wirklich Hammer Qualität hat. Steht bei mir nun im Wohnzimmer, bei den anderen Stalker Sachen :D Wir sehen uns in der Zone - gute Jagd, Stalker!
I haver never resold a collectors edition - but the Fallout 76 one. But launch of the game was a mess overall 👀 Sure, GSC has a rocky start, but fallout was way worse, at least for me.
I think the card is from the intro sequence aka Streloks dream in good old Shadow of Chernobyl... What a cool box! I remember the scandal around Fallout 76...a triple AAA game by a huge company and they cheated everyone out of their money with their cheap collectors edition contents. Here they even print a texture on the backside of the map and everything seems pretty good quality. Way to go GSC Game World!
100% correct! Legend of the zone! Yeah, the fallout 76 thing was a mess - not only that they tried to scam you, but if you appealed and signed up for the canvas bag, they even had a data leak v.v Like, come on... On the other hand you have GSC, able to provide quality items (even the prints!) while half of their company is still in a country affected by war.
I absolutely enjoyed this content and am jealous of the items you now own from the map that's in the game and also of the game, dont even get me started on how cool the lamp is, to the detail on the figurine. CSG Games nailed it on this one. To simply how happy you are unboxing is so great. Oh also all that hard metal gets me hard... 25hrs into S2 and loving it. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thank You so much stalker! I try to provide quality content with focus on detail! :) I hope the game runs well for you stalker! Food hunting, stalker! ☢️
Honestly, if the game was completely broken and unplayable, I still couldn't be mad at GSC. But it's still not as broken as a lot of western games coming out these days. A few patches and mods here and there and it's gonna be awesome and clearly they put some thought in the collectors edition as well. Hats off to them.
We have to be honest: it's a game with 160GB of content. Of course it has bugs on some systems. We are not in 2010 anymore, where 6GB was fine. Games got much bigger and more complex over the decades. I'm glad it runs well on my system and hope it will be running for those who can't play right now soon too!
I’m glad that so many people enjoying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 because all this effort helping our game industry to progress. Actually thank you very much for all your effort. See you in zone stalkers ❤❤ (Amazing costume btw)
'Sad muffled stalker noises'...my ultimate edition got delayed till the 7th of December D: That artefact lamp FAAAR exceeds wtf I was expecting it to be! I just expected it to light up when you pull the lid up not have the colour changing feature and it fkn floating....god I hope my order doesn't get cancelled on me! This collectors edition puts all the others collectors eds I've bought over the years to shame, the Metro Exodus collectors ed is a close 2nd just due to the kickass statue it came with. Total cost to me was £255 as I ordered my collectors ed from the 1st run, but since they I did upgrade to a 3080 in the 3 year wait from my pre order being made (for other games also of course not just S2) so you could say S2 cost me £950ish in total lol. Great video STALKER, see you in the zone!
Very cool video, man! Thank you for showing us what the box was about. I would love to buy it, but sadly the currency of my country is pretty low, so for me it is not possible to get that one... but I am very glad it turned out to be a good collector's edition! Makes me love the series even more.
Wow. Even though I'm not a fan of Stalker, I would buy it. The backpack and levitating device look awesome, the rest is just good for me. Thanks for the review and have a good time playing this game!
Dude you are absolutely breathtakingly amazing. Seen you in the documentary. Thank you for your support for devs and their country in these hard days. Have many great hunts in your future, Stalker !!! 💪
I am just very very very lucky to be alive just at the right time to enjoy stalkers comeback this much. ❤️ But there would be most likely no stalker 2 without the comment that kept this game alive for so long! ☢️
Thank you for this review, the stuff is freaking awesome! I liked the lamp and the backpack the most. I hope they will be selling some merch separately
I can’t wait to get mine, like yourself I ordered mine over 2 years ago. Still waiting for it to be delivered, I’m more excited about getting it after seeing your video.
I came to this video only because of an amazing coincidence. The coincidence itself is that I took a picture with you at Gamescom 2024 and didn't think I'd ever see you again, nor did I know you had a UA-cam channel. I'm glad about that. Thank you for the cool content! Thank you for your love for the product of the Ukrainian team! Dziękuję, mój polski przyjacielu!
Haha amazing to read that! Gamescom was an amazing experience and I am very happy that people remember our encounters there! Food hunting stalker! Dzięki za komentarz bracie 💪🏼
I remember how excited I was when I get my Destiny pack out of the collectors edition. That is actually a good quality rucksack. I love it. And with all that metal on the bag it actually makes it a bad thing to take into the zone with all that metal though. Metal absorbs radiation like crazy.
I was considering the ultimate edition, but then I heard that it was sold out 2 years ago so I just went with limited edition and hoped that the backpack would suck like every other game with a backpack collectible. It did not.
The backpack is pretty nice, but my favorite is still the figure from the game! Maybe you still can get it, they restocked for preorders a few weeks ago.
Anomaly is the one Soviet bunker complex close to the small stalker settlement forgot the name in the lesser zone, where you can find springboard related artifacts.
Yeah but no: not with my printer. Also, I don't have a nozzle that is fine enough. Hope I will be able to replace my printer with something better soon
That waxed canvas backpack is really well done. Reminds me of a less technical, smaller Mystery Ranch Blitz 35. I wish my mystery ranch bag had as nice of side pockets instead of only quick access water bottle pockets. Very well designed products and very nice review ! :) I'd honestly consider buying a larger more technical waxed canvas bag as it looks GREAT
I really like high quality Collectors editions and collectors boxes and this one is definitely doesn't look like disappointment. There are few that I wish I could pick up if I had money and space for them - this one is one of such things. I am definitely picking up Ultimate edition of the game once my salary is up, because man, I wanna get this game up. funny enough, it does run relatively well on my PC, I only had severe lighting issues in one chapter with lots of artificial lights but as that chapter was over I returned back to comfort ~60-85 FPS with occasional dips below 60 and that's on mostly epic settings at 1440p. I had few glitches that did detract from experience (mostly sidequests where NPCs would refuse to talk with me) but other than that everything was fine enough that I would enjoy game more than just hope for the best.
Yeah, I fully understand the price and space issue. But this collectors edition was a good one ✅ Glad to hear the game runs well on your machine - may I ask about your specs? 👀
Got me wanting to get the game so much more, technically I can afford it but it'll use like 1 third or a quarter of my money, all this stalker got me wanting to play it I really wish I coulda bought it, seems sick ngl
I almost bought the collector's edition the other day but now that I've seen this I'm strongly debating spending the extra couple hundred bucks to get the ultimate edition during the second run. I didn't even know it came with a backpack😅
It really is a nice package for a Ultimate Edition but I do feel like for the price it could have been e bit better, especially the lamp. They could have made it so it runs on a battery instead of needed to be plugged in, and the dials and such should also be lit up in my opinion, only seeing the artifact light up and the rest of the "lamp" being completely dark is kinda...lame. But I like how they used real durable materials instead of just cheap fabric and plastic
As expensive as this might be it genuinely looks like you get your monies worth. I remember buying the Far Cry Primal box set for like $130 and all you got was the game in it’s og case, a metal case and a poster of the map. And not to mention it was a preordered bundle you could only buy before the game came out, which would be fine except it was an extra $40 for a poster and a tin game case
If you want to see a recent example of a bad collectors edition: check out the Gothic remake one. Like, you got stalker 2, Baldurs Gate 3 and KCD2 delivering really EPIC loot for a reasonable price - these guys set a new standard!
The game is absolutely awesome, i love it so much. Well, i loved all of the 3 previous ones too but this new one is my favorite right now. I would love to have these collectibles, especially the lamp and backpack, wow.. Massive.
Look mate, after fuckin 17 years of waiting for this game the Collectors Edition better come with shit like a piece of the Elephant Foot from Chernobyls melted reactor 4.
Thank you man - right now i am livestreaming my gameplay progress in CET Evening hours. After that, i'll do an Lets-Play Series with a few mods and ukrainian voices! :) Thanks for your support!
The synthetic layer on the faction patches is iron on. It never works well though. Velcro would have been better as you could use them without devaluing them. As far as the game goes GSC have really come through. I have been there since Shadow of Chernobyl and Am really enjoying the game. I'll probably finish it then start again immediately with different choices.
@kosmitka777 I still try to run it, and it works somewhat, but some times if I die or so I get horrible lag spikes most of the time, but you mean launching it through gefore experience?
@@oblivionnokk3531 I mean GeForce NOW, it's cloud gaming. I use it on my laptop for playing some games. I have old laptop and still am able to e.g. play Witcher on it thanks to GFN. You can look for informations in google and see if it's something for you as it is a paid service.
This was my first, and most likely last collector edition ever. But I have genuinely zero regrets. The game may be janky and I need GeForce Now to even run it, but the game and loot are really worth the hefty price, that I luckily paid all the way back in 2021, when I still had a decent job and economy was still ok.
@@farkasgabor4084 depends on the perspective. I started buying stupid cardboard boxes from the Gothic games 10 years ago for 10-20€ each. Now they are worth +60€ 👀 You can also consider it as an investment. I just do it for the passion though.
@farkasgabor4084 brother stalker, if it doesn't hurt your budget, buy what you love. Respect yourself, do something for you sometimes. If you gained the money you not only right 💯 % to spend on your own hobbies, but even have obligation to do so, otherwise you can lose motivation for work if you only work to benefit others. So, take care yourself! and don't think of creatures who can spend 25K on Hermes bag.

A few patches and mods here and there and it's gonna be awesome and clearly they put some thought in the collectors edition as well. Hats off to them.
We have to be honest: it's a game with 160GB of content. Of course it has bugs on some systems. We are not in 2010 anymore, where 6GB was fine. Games got much bigger and more complex over the decades.
I'm glad it runs well on my system and hope it will be running for those who can't play right now soon too!
Thank you from Ukraine for the video!
@@oleksandrliakh4172 прошу! :) 💪🏼
Wow,that is really cool stuff, that backpack is sweet. Youve earned a sub and i look forward to binging you're videos. Good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
☢️ thanks for your support stalker! The backpack really is well made. Hope GSC Gameworld makes more merch!❤
These guys did an amazing job! Love it!
Finally a collectors edition worth it's price 🙏🏼
hi from Ukraine 🇺🇦 thanks for the video 🤝🏻😸
@@rinipork thank you very much friend! 🤝
Lots of love to Ukraine
I’m glad that so many people enjoying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 because all this effort helping our game industry to progress. Actually thank you very much for all your effort. See you in zone stalkers ❤❤ (Amazing costume btw)
Thank you. Eastern europe produces amazing games and especially titles like Metro, Stalker or Witcher are all time favorites for me
Great review and BEST collect edition ever for me!
Thank you mate. Indeed this was a highlight for me! Collectors editions are sometimes a gamble 👀
That rucksack is incredible, it can and has been on camping trips already with me. This backpack is as sturdy as my actual pack from chornobyl
How does it react to water though?
@starioncostumes its waxed canvas with a waterproof liner so its perfect.
So wild guys are war they still manage make game and fun Collector stuff 😅
Yes. Part of the team is still in Ukraine. I really like stalker 2 - and when they fix the bugs it will be perfect.
@@starioncostumesand 2 of them are dead already. They died like a heroes, brave soldiers
right at the mouth of Betheshda, GSC did what Betheshda did not want
Yep, I wish Bethesda will do better in the future though
Your "привіт" іs so smooth :3 Glad you liked the stuff. Good hunting, Stalker, and you're always welcome in Ukraine!
Thank you stalker! I'm trying to learn some Ukrainian over time so I won't have to rely on translators or English all the timr when I visit ❤
Yo! This is dope. Idk who you are or how you appeared on my feed but this is an instant sub for me! Watching the video now!
Thank you for your support stalker! 🔥 Together we can make it through the perimeter!
way better backpack than what Fallout76 collector edition's bag delivered LMAO
So true, the only collectors edition I ever sold again
'Sad muffled stalker noises'...my ultimate edition got delayed till the 7th of December D: That artefact lamp FAAAR exceeds wtf I was expecting it to be! I just expected it to light up when you pull the lid up not have the colour changing feature and it fkn floating....god I hope my order doesn't get cancelled on me! This collectors edition puts all the others collectors eds I've bought over the years to shame, the Metro Exodus collectors ed is a close 2nd just due to the kickass statue it came with. Total cost to me was £255 as I ordered my collectors ed from the 1st run, but since they I did upgrade to a 3080 in the 3 year wait from my pre order being made (for other games also of course not just S2) so you could say S2 cost me £950ish in total lol. Great video STALKER, see you in the zone!
But at least you will get it! I only got it in time because I preordered in the first wave in 2021
I pre ordered it in November 2021 lol, its just Amazon fucking shit up as normal. Ed:Oh boy its arriving tomorrow, just had a confirmation email!
Nice overview!
I didn’t expect to see such collection of items.
With best regards from Ukraine 😊
Дякую! The loot is good in this one! 💪🏼
Very cool video, man! Thank you for showing us what the box was about.
I would love to buy it, but sadly the currency of my country is pretty low, so for me it is not possible to get that one... but I am very glad it turned out to be a good collector's edition! Makes me love the series even more.
GSC Gameworld really put some thoughts and effort into this 💪🏼
Wow. Even though I'm not a fan of Stalker, I would buy it. The backpack and levitating device look awesome, the rest is just good for me.
Thanks for the review and have a good time playing this game!
Thank you mate! We'll be live streaming a few times a week 🔥
Dude you are absolutely breathtakingly amazing. Seen you in the documentary. Thank you for your support for devs and their country in these hard days. Have many great hunts in your future, Stalker !!! 💪
I am just very very very lucky to be alive just at the right time to enjoy stalkers comeback this much. ❤️ But there would be most likely no stalker 2 without the comment that kept this game alive for so long! ☢️
Thank you for this review, the stuff is freaking awesome! I liked the lamp and the backpack the most. I hope they will be selling some merch separately
@@krisjol man I hope so too. I would love to hear about that. 👀
the dude walking in frame at 13:03 😂😂
I always use videos I stead of still frames, so dudes walking by can happen 😂
I can’t wait to get mine, like yourself I ordered mine over 2 years ago. Still waiting for it to be delivered, I’m more excited about getting it after seeing your video.
Hope it will arrive soon too mate! 💪🏼
Quality just like the game the devs have integrity 👏 these editions are selling for between £450-550 now it's crazy. ☢
Man resellers and scalpers really annoy me 😩 why can't people just enjoy stuff?
@starioncostumes I have the same feelings about that topic 👍🤜🤛
Thank you for a nice unboxing, i was literally looking for it.
Вдалого хабара, Сталкере !
Дякую сталкер!
I came to this video only because of an amazing coincidence. The coincidence itself is that I took a picture with you at Gamescom 2024 and didn't think I'd ever see you again, nor did I know you had a UA-cam channel. I'm glad about that. Thank you for the cool content! Thank you for your love for the product of the Ukrainian team! Dziękuję, mój polski przyjacielu!
Haha amazing to read that! Gamescom was an amazing experience and I am very happy that people remember our encounters there! Food hunting stalker!
Dzięki za komentarz bracie 💪🏼
If they included a hard copy and a flask I would have been real tempted.
A flask is a good idea! Not gonna lie! But the hard copy would be difficult, since the game has 160GB. 👀
I remember how excited I was when I get my Destiny pack out of the collectors edition. That is actually a good quality rucksack. I love it. And with all that metal on the bag it actually makes it a bad thing to take into the zone with all that metal though. Metal absorbs radiation like crazy.
Luckily, I will not take it through the zone with me... Or will I? 👀
Great energy my guy. Loved it. You killed it with the stalker gear you are rocking. 💪🏼🙌🏼
I am doing livestreams in this gear! 🔥 Thank you so much!
That artbook is gorgeous!
It is indeed! 🔥
I was considering the ultimate edition, but then I heard that it was sold out 2 years ago so I just went with limited edition and hoped that the backpack would suck like every other game with a backpack collectible.
It did not.
The backpack is pretty nice, but my favorite is still the figure from the game! Maybe you still can get it, they restocked for preorders a few weeks ago.
@@starioncostumes They restarted production but ETA is April.
Oh my.... This is so insanely good
0 regrets mate!
with all this dope gear you can go to the zone now in real life
After the war brother, after the war.
One of the developers, Volodimir Yezchov, actually was killed in 2022, when his squad protected Bachmoot.
I know and we should not forget the fallen fighters - he will live on with stalker 2 ❤️
That artbook alone looks gorgeous!
So true! We will see it in a future video for sure! 💪🏼
@@starioncostumes Guess I better hit subscribe then ;p
Anomaly is the one Soviet bunker complex close to the small stalker settlement forgot the name in the lesser zone, where you can find springboard related artifacts.
Yep, that's correct 👍🏼
If you want a nice looking metal plate for the Echo, just use a 3D print with fine lines or sanding. Then good painting and it looks like metal.
Yeah but no: not with my printer. Also, I don't have a nozzle that is fine enough.
Hope I will be able to replace my printer with something better soon
I really hope that Ganslinger will meet swamp doctor. And the artifact is amazing!
The figure is also pretty neat! All items were well crafted and chosen ✅
That waxed canvas backpack is really well done. Reminds me of a less technical, smaller Mystery Ranch Blitz 35. I wish my mystery ranch bag had as nice of side pockets instead of only quick access water bottle pockets. Very well designed products and very nice review ! :)
I'd honestly consider buying a larger more technical waxed canvas bag as it looks GREAT
I don't know if it is waxed l, but waxing it is a good idea to be honest! 💪🏼
I really like high quality Collectors editions and collectors boxes and this one is definitely doesn't look like disappointment.
There are few that I wish I could pick up if I had money and space for them - this one is one of such things.
I am definitely picking up Ultimate edition of the game once my salary is up, because man, I wanna get this game up.
funny enough, it does run relatively well on my PC, I only had severe lighting issues in one chapter with lots of artificial lights but as that chapter was over I returned back to comfort ~60-85 FPS with occasional dips below 60 and that's on mostly epic settings at 1440p. I had few glitches that did detract from experience (mostly sidequests where NPCs would refuse to talk with me) but other than that everything was fine enough that I would enjoy game more than just hope for the best.
Yeah, I fully understand the price and space issue. But this collectors edition was a good one ✅
Glad to hear the game runs well on your machine - may I ask about your specs? 👀
This items cost it's money, it's great stuff! Lucky you.
Yes it was not cheap man, but I don't regret it though ❤
Got me wanting to get the game so much more, technically I can afford it but it'll use like 1 third or a quarter of my money, all this stalker got me wanting to play it
I really wish I coulda bought it, seems sick ngl
Its a good collectors edition, especially the figure and artbook are nice!
I finally recalled where I did see you - Gamescom'23! Cheers, mate! Glad that we made it and stayed alive until the Stalker 2 release 😅
Legend! Gamescom was wild! Thank you for stopping by our campfire stalker! I hope you didn't have to wait too long to play the game?
@@starioncostumes No matter how long it lasted, it was absolutely worth to wait!
I almost bought the collector's edition the other day but now that I've seen this I'm strongly debating spending the extra couple hundred bucks to get the ultimate edition during the second run. I didn't even know it came with a backpack😅
My favorite piece is the figure and that is included in the collectors edition too ❤
It really is a nice package for a Ultimate Edition but I do feel like for the price it could have been e bit better, especially the lamp.
They could have made it so it runs on a battery instead of needed to be plugged in, and the dials and such should also be lit up in my opinion, only seeing the artifact light up and the rest of the "lamp" being completely dark is kinda...lame.
But I like how they used real durable materials instead of just cheap fabric and plastic
Maybe there could be a good modification for the lamp? 👀
As expensive as this might be it genuinely looks like you get your monies worth. I remember buying the Far Cry Primal box set for like $130 and all you got was the game in it’s og case, a metal case and a poster of the map. And not to mention it was a preordered bundle you could only buy before the game came out, which would be fine except it was an extra $40 for a poster and a tin game case
If you want to see a recent example of a bad collectors edition: check out the Gothic remake one.
Like, you got stalker 2, Baldurs Gate 3 and KCD2 delivering really EPIC loot for a reasonable price - these guys set a new standard!
Man thank you for purchasing this beautiful game ! It’s an amazing unpacking !!! 😊😊😊
Preordered in 2021 and did not regret it ❤️
You are true fan of Stalker! Backpack and lamp are gorgeous
I love stalker. Just like I love Gothic or fallout New Vegas ❤️
The game is absolutely awesome, i love it so much. Well, i loved all of the 3 previous ones too but this new one is my favorite right now.
I would love to have these collectibles, especially the lamp and backpack, wow.. Massive.
It's a seriously good collectors edition ❤
If i had enough money, i wouldve gotten this edition, especially wanted some patches
Man I really need to make patches myself and open an Etsy store lol
Nice video, love your suit, i cant wait for my order to arrive eventually
Thank you very much stalker, hope it arrives soon!
Haha you have a little of Borat's accent when you say "nice" 😂😂 excellent
Thing is, I don't have an east Euro accent. But when I speak English, I sometimes do 😂 I like!
There is a space in artifact box for one can of energy drink. It's real drink in Ukraine. I'm wonder why they don't put it inside.
@@aerogruff Is it? I didn't notice that. But yeah, I have the original nonstop stalker version too ✅
Amazing review, homie. GSC provided the ultimate edition with a great stash and I love to see it!
@@ItstheDeni you can really see someone who cared made this!
@@starioncostumes REAL! Imagine being in a camping trip with the homies and pulling out that multitool... Strelok would be so proud.
That book dude!! I need that book in my life right now 😢.
You can preorder it on Amazon right now 👀
@starioncostumes omg thank you. Just got it pre-ordered. I thought I had to buy that collectors edition to get it. I'm stoked. Great video btw!
Look mate, after fuckin 17 years of waiting for this game the Collectors Edition better come with shit like a piece of the Elephant Foot from Chernobyls melted reactor 4.
)))
😂
10/10 videos as always, hoping for loads of gameplays as time goes on!
Thank you man - right now i am livestreaming my gameplay progress in CET Evening hours.
After that, i'll do an Lets-Play Series with a few mods and ukrainian voices! :)
Thanks for your support!
That looks absolutely awesome 👍🏻
🎉🎉🎉
The synthetic layer on the faction patches is iron on. It never works well though. Velcro would have been better as you could use them without devaluing them. As far as the game goes GSC have really come through. I have been there since Shadow of Chernobyl and Am really enjoying the game. I'll probably finish it then start again immediately with different choices.
Same man. I usually play as an honest loner, but I might just go for the worst bandit run ever.
Great review and a really cool pack! Thank you. GSC Game World, ви круті ❤️🔥
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That anomaly on the poster is Ribs just down from Zalissya
✅ that's right stalker. Pretty scary at first, but overall amazing place
Omg the backpack so awesome
I love that thing ❤️
should have had a geiger counter in there
@@mikejones-nd6ni Good idea, but if it would be a working one, the price would explode. 👀
It is crazy what gsc has done with the game and its marketing, just too bad my pc is slightly underperforming for the game currently..
I read somewhere that you can play it on geforce now. If it's true then you could still try to play it.
@kosmitka777 I still try to run it, and it works somewhat, but some times if I die or so I get horrible lag spikes most of the time, but you mean launching it through gefore experience?
@@oblivionnokk3531 I mean GeForce NOW, it's cloud gaming. I use it on my laptop for playing some games. I have old laptop and still am able to e.g. play Witcher on it thanks to GFN. You can look for informations in google and see if it's something for you as it is a paid service.
I hope GSC will fix those issues soon mate! I only encounter minor bugs so far. 👀
@starioncostumes There are mods out there, but for some reason, they refuse to work on my game ☹️
4:38 I think that's ribs in the lesser zone, also Freedom is the best faction and no-one can change my mind
Ribs it is. And freedom is... Okay :D
This was my first, and most likely last collector edition ever. But I have genuinely zero regrets. The game may be janky and I need GeForce Now to even run it, but the game and loot are really worth the hefty price, that I luckily paid all the way back in 2021, when I still had a decent job and economy was still ok.
Man, I still remember when a Kebap was like 7€ normal price... 😢
I regret not having visited Chernobyl before the war. It is now a closed area
Will you be playing on stream?
@@doctorbrown2169yes I am playing on stream, there are even two recordings on my channel!
P.s. same here. Hope this war ends soon!
Beautiful package. I would love one but my wife would kill me 😂
Because it's expensive or taking up a ton of space? 👀 💦
Rightfully so
@@starioncostumes for me it's not expensive but in the eyes of my wife it would be equal to like paying that money for a box of useless stuff. women 😁
@@farkasgabor4084 depends on the perspective. I started buying stupid cardboard boxes from the Gothic games 10 years ago for 10-20€ each. Now they are worth +60€ 👀
You can also consider it as an investment. I just do it for the passion though.
@farkasgabor4084 brother stalker, if it doesn't hurt your budget, buy what you love.
Respect yourself, do something for you sometimes. If you gained the money you not only right 💯 % to spend on your own hobbies, but even have obligation to do so, otherwise you can lose motivation for work if you only work to benefit others. So, take care yourself! and don't think of creatures who can spend 25K on Hermes bag.
hopefully they sell the backpack standalone some day
They NEED a merch shop. But I am sure they are busy with fixing the game first.
there was no BOLT in any of them so none of them are worth it.
Ask your dad for a bolt, fixed lol
Lol
