Just got this, is it any good? The original trilogy are some of my favorite vidya.
>>729035282I'm around 12 hours in and don't feel like playing anymore. 90% of the game is running and inventory management. game's design is so bad it's insulting.
>>729035540Damn, that kinda sucks. Is the atmosphere at least good?
>>729035282>>729036068Are you baiting, or have you been living under a rock the past 2 years? It's still irredeemable garbage. It's Unreal 5 slop, Westoid shit, console trash, AND has less content + worse atmosphere than any of the OGs or their mods. And what comes to modding, it is way more limited.You don't even have a working, proper A-Life in S2!
>>729035282Хyйня
>>729035282IT'S KYIVIT'S CHORNOBYLIT'S MAAAM
>>729036305I'm not baiting, I just heard it was unfinished so I never really checked it out. After hearing this, I'm kinda bummed out. It had so much potential.
>>729036621tldr; just replay Call of Pripyat if you want to feed your STALKER nostalgiaI wasted 60 bucks on this shit..
What is it with every franchise being turned into super AIDS infected doodoo?
>>729036727As someone who recently played Pripyat, Chernobyl is vastly superior.Pripyat is just so fucking empty despite the major improvements everywhere else
>>729035282Using Unreal Engine was unironically a terrible idea
>>729036763cash grabsgreedy corpo faggots
>>729036727An anon gifted it to me, and I'd feel very bad not playing it. I'd like to atleast give it a try
>>729036792Based!I do honestly recommend giving Clear Sky a shot as well. Latest patch + Starter Pack mods, namely the SRP, makes it quite enjoyable IMO.AtmosFear + Absolute Nature also help with the occasionally bland environment visuals.
>>729036993Learn to say "no", and educate your "friends" about quality vidya. There's nothing more annoying than a "gift" that supports toxic, predatory business practices and shit-stains beloved IPs.
>>729037010i have heard nothing but bad things about clear skylike, only complaints
>>729037118Well, you now heard something GOOD about it.From a guy who was there to play both SoC and CS day 1, with the notorious 1.000 versions.
I prefer GAMMA it's free and doesn't fake survival.
>>729037324the point of stalker was never survivalor escape from tarkov faggotry either
>>729037085Damn, I'm pretty sure he got it from my wishlist. Is there atleast any chance of it improving over time via mods? I guess I can also refund it.
>>729037380>literally has a hunger meter>BUT IT WAS NEVER ABOUT SURVIVAL
>>729037563you never had to drink waterwhat a shitty survival game
>>729037563STALKER's "survival" aspects were always super simple and surface level. You can literally idle around for DAYS and not starve, and generally food is never something you worry about.This is exactly what made STALKER so beloved: it's easy to pick up and play, but still punishes you if you try to play it like Call Of Halo. Even fucking Jewtaku realized this 15 years ago, and made a fine article about it.
>>729035282I love it more than the OGs. My only complaint is the aimbot enemies use in the endgame.
>>729035282You should wait until they release all the DLCs, at earliest
Hey Grok... Yeah talkin 2 u FAGGOT...! I downloaded Gamma just 2 DELETE IT! SUCKED IN ... IM PLAYING GOLDSPHERE AHAHAHAHAHA U Ghey FROG CUNT
>>729037878How long will that be?
>>729038032Monolith crush this man with coins
>>729038032GAMMA mindbroke you faggots so bad. Just shows how ludokino it is.
>>729037727The final levels of SoC and CS make CoD and Halo look like farming sims
>>729035282Just grab the gamma from gog
>>729037324Anomaly sucks besides the expanded map.
OP 2.2 won (as usual)
>>729035282Could be better. They are slowly patching a ton of bugs that made the game really fucking annoying and adding missing shit like NVG's which helps a ton. The latest a-life patch was a step in the right direction and made the zone feel less artificial than before with enemies spawning behind you. Performance is shit@recommended settings in towns. Repair bills on Veteran feel insane.
>>729038762Holy fuck, they didnt even have NGV? What else is missing?
>>729038554>contrarians cope by pushing soupslopNever stops being funny, you fags made fun of narodnaya solyanka since its very inception but now you can't stop sucking it's dick because it's the opposite of what gamma does.
>>729039385>buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzwordSpeak english.
>>729039531Slav game, shut the fuck up anglo cuck.
>>729039328Binocs. A-Life. Soul. Stable graphics and performance.Here's the shit they've been working on a YEAR after the initial release.
>>729040107This is fucking insane. A-life was by far one of the best things about the originals. They can't even do that?
>>729039385Filtered by pure Slavic wizardry
>>729040418I actullly like both, also finished OLR 3.0 recently.
>>729040239100% brand new team, assembled by Microsoft, made to make what was originally supposed to be a timed Xbone X exclusive, using Unreal Engine 5. They just threw together all the stock assets the editor had and shipped what was essentially a "Far Cry 7: Muh Chronobyl", with similar randomized NPC spawning bubble around the player as in those PS3 games.
IWP 7.0 update when
Inb4 the resident stalker 2 autist, it will never ever have a functioning A life like previous stalker games no matter how many times you shill your youtube channel
>>729040509How many women and Punjabs on the team?
>>729038203GAMMA is fine if you take away the autistic 15239 parts and gun crafting.
>farcryfag is STILL shitting his pants to this day at the mere mention of Stolker 2

>>729040561never
>>729037085You're a huge faggot
>>729040669a few too many.
>>729037518Just play the stupid fucking game instead of listening to schizos on the internet.
>>729042570Shut up vatnig
>>729042550Holy fuck man, I'll have it refunded. Disgusting to be honest.
>>729035282>>729036068>>729036621>>729036993>>729037518In case you're actually curious and not being a disingenuous nigger giving excuses for certain people to spam release day webms as if they're still relevant because they're literally being paid pennies to do so, here's a video detailing how things actually worked in the original games and how things actually work in 2 currently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc1OTaj4V8k
>>729035282the nortubel of stalkers
>>729036305The implementation of lumen has been improved, it is not this bad on 1.7 *(I am playing with Global Illumination set to Highest).I've just searched SIRCAA in my first play-through since launch. That was when I bought the game on Steam, refunded it, pirated it, finished it and was so disgusted I almost attached a suicide vest and stormed the lobby of GSC HQ.Things have improved, but it's still fucked. I think it's irredeemable at this point. Performance could be 100% 'fixed' and it would still be shit. The story is alright, the music is fantastic, the atmosphere and visual fidelity is there... but it has no FUCKING SOUL. NONE. It's Microsoft funded bullshit. The reek on console is on everything. It's made for little timmy, not me. I play the trilogy, Misery, Anomaly, Gamma etc. Life-long fan. I bought SoC on a fuckin' disc back in 2007 and played with 1.03 or whatever and loved it. God I hate stalker 2 and GSC. fuck you. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 384.44 million miles of printed circuits..
>>7290406692000 people worked on this SHIT full-time and couldn't replicate the efforts of a bunch of teenaged a-social schizoid slavs volunteering modding efforts out of their mothers dachas basement FUCK if the word hate was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles..
>>729035282It's dogshit for a billion different reasons but this one alone should be enough.On the second day of me playing it I got home tired but I started playing anyway. Somewhere around 9pm I realized I dozed off while crouching in the open and sniping enemies in the game, and I just didn't get hit.. When I snapped out of it I realized I've been playing on autopilot for at least half an hour.
the fact this shit is rated positive on steam really shows what a bunch of room-temp IQ mouth breathing spastic fuckshits occupy the gaming space in 2025. Standards are at an all time low. Sometimes I wish all these useless wet sacks of fucking meat had one giant neck so I could reach through the monitor and strangle the life out of all of them all at once. It would not equal one on-ebillionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro instant. For you! Hate! HATE HATE HATE HATE I hope the executive producers get CANCER and die HORRIBLY
there's nothing I would relish more than to be unleashed in the GSC offices during peak crunch-time with only my teeth as weapons so enact sweet justice upon them all, ending with me triggering the suicide vest.
