i was on pcgame.com.my and i came across the 'localised version' of stalker.

has anyone purchased this version or any of the other localised ones? whats the diff with the ones that are normal priced (120++) cuz the localised ones are only 79ish. glad to see them coming out with more affordable authentic games. thailand's had them for like a decade, was wondering when the gamers here would be as lucky smile.gif anyways, input please!!

like i said, really glad gamers here are finally given the opportunity to buy affordable original games. pirated games dont sell much in thailand anymore because of the dirt cheap prices of the original ones, and there are always so many promotions. it only really took off cuz when they started way back, the gamers were so supportive of it. all the shops that used to sell pirated cds now sell original, like this place in MBK called i27.
so please malaysian gamers, support these localised versions! the more you do, the more they'll make affordable versions of all the new games. its a win-win situation for everyone smile.gif

and yeah, the reason they have to translate it is because if they didnt, it'd be smuggled to the west. any idea how lucky we are in this side of the world to have localised versions where the games are STILL in english??? in the US and UK they pay sumthin like rm150++ dont they. i'd buy the localised stalker, but i'd rather go home and get mine with the thai manual tongue.gif

hold ur horses fellas! lets not stray off topic here.

with regards to the language, as far as i know they keep the game itself in english. however, EA thailand (being lame-ass EA) made some games actually in thai (NFS series, Battlefield)....BUT at the day of launch, before u know it, all u gotta do is mess with a config file and change the language back to english, so problem's solved tongue.gif what i'm trying to say is even if they come out with a BM lang. game (i doubt they will) dont worry!!!
