This is how your posting feels.

Should I be worried that they apparently weren't interested in hiring someone fluent in English to write their English store page? This has some pretty strong RPGmaker Shovelware energy.

Like, I would love a Stalker 2, but this level of inattention to detail isn't filling me with enthusiasm.

Oh god they are using my card (2070 Super) as the recommended setting, that can't bode well for me in a few months.

Hmmm.
You hear this a lot with big AAA titles and it doesn't fill me with confidence. Maybe a deficit even.

The 80 dollar one seems like it would have some neat stuff. The artifact lamp would be a really cool knick knack to have, but I'm not spending 340 dollars for it.

The trailer for Stalker 2 looks really cool, and I am very skeptical about it. If they can pull it off it should be amazing. The clip with the brain scorcher in the rain really gives me the stalker atmosphere vibe, so it looks like they do want it to go in the right direction. Whether they succeed is another question entirely but it's cool to hope.

It'll be buggy with translation issues, FPS drops, crashes, and game-breaking quest issues.

The fact that they can barely put English into their info pages gives me hope that this is a stalker game, and won't just be a lame port to PC from a game designed to be easy to play on consoles.

I preordered the deluxe edition. In Monolith we trust.

This will either be 300% worth it or I'll have to get a visa to Pripiyat (which I've been itching to do for more than 20 years anyway)

To be fair, they seem to have gotten funding from Microsoft and is using UE4 this time instead of their own engine cobbled together from bits and bobs of soviet tetris legacy code

Fun trivia, they based the engine on the code used by the actual computers at CNPP for added authenticity.
