“The worst S.T.A.L.K.E.R game by far, every aspect of shadow of chernobyl has been maliciously modified to become insufferable, i don't even want to write them down. Extremely buggy, no upgrades have been made to this censored "enhanced"…”
“Enhanced Edition that was released just to remove Russian localization. Spiteful, childlike behavior.”
