I’m getting 2 shot by enemies and sucked by invisible anomalies, am I bad is it pure eurojank?
>>729137159No, it's just a horrible sequel to an actual good game.
>>729137159it's just a harsh game and a harsh world, but it's harsh for the enemies too. You can 2 shot them as well (or 1 shot them with headshots), and enemies also die in invisible anomalies all the time >>729137285the same things happen in the other games
>>729137159This game is exceptionally poorly designed in almost every way
>>729137159Stalker 2 is not eurojank, it's too mechanically shallow and discouraging of immersion for that.
>>729137285>>729137386>>729137506do you guys have any examples besides old good new bad?
>>729137563Even if Stalker 2 was the only video game ever made it would still rightfully be called a piece of wholly uncompelling broken diarrhea
Skip vanilla games and play GAMMA.
>>729137947post pc specs
>>729137947???
>>729138284I can run Stalker 2 smooth. 120fps or 30 it's still very shallow and unrewarding experience. I never once felt like being in a flow when I played it. One issue was the spawning behaviour of enemies, other was the general exploration of the world which felt very unrewarding
>chornobyl>removing original voices>removing soviet referencesRetards went woke and broke. The reason people give a fuck about Stalker is sovietjank and Russian memes.
>>729137159the game isn't even difficult, that part is just the retarded fanbase spewing the same shit as if it were fact. if you're actually careful and pay attention absolutely nothing should get the jump on you
>>729139262>Retards went woke.>Being pissed off at the assholes who bomb the shit out of your home and force you to flee to another country to avoid getting blown to tiny chunks by missiles is wokeNigger you're fucking stupid.
>>729137159It's UE5slopjank
>>729137285Mf you need to take those nostalgia goggles off, those games were trash, hot garbage, if anything, Stalker 2 brought the cool universe back with a more palatable Far Cry formula.
>>729140026I dont give a single fuck.
>>729140510I just finished fucking playing Chernobyl last week, dude. It's good.
>>729140539Probably because you're a fucking cuck who'd let someone kick your shit in and proceed to praise them and lick their boot after they fuck you up.
>>729137159it's garbage
>>729140762eastern europoor problems arent my problems. I just want my cool imagery. its not my fault ukraine has zero culture of its own and that their language somehow manages to sound even worse than russian
>>729137159It starts off that way, your durability will improve massively as you get better gear and artifacts with elemental resistances.The hobo phase is a quintessential part of the Stalker experience that you'll look back on fondly and 2's economy is a lot harsher than any of the predecessors so you'll be scraping by up until you get to the swamps.
The AI is broken and downright cheats. The anomalies feel like theyre placed artificially to prevent you from running across the map. And nobody playtested the boss fights (ex. Final arena fight and granite team).
>>729137159The explpration was the best part of the game. The story was alright too however no proper A-Life kinda ruins it when you start to notice the 100m bubble.The 100m bubble worked in SoC because the maps were small and had a lot of hills/buildings or other visual obstructions. However Stalker 2 is mostly flat areas and you can see stuff pop in real time in or out of the bubble. CoP had the same issue.
>>729140895So you're a cuck and a jackass. Cool.
Things get better once you have better gear and know how to wade through the bullshit spawns. It's hard to pick a gun and just go with it.Mutants will always suck. Psydogs are absolute dogshit in this game, harder than pseudogiants. Bloodsuckers aren't bad this time around. I really wish there was a way to make money mutant hunting. Real talk: I've played CoC so much I barely remember what the first 3 games were like.
>>729141241> It's hard to pick a gun and just go with it.Because the game philosophy is retarded. The game has a horizontal gear progression so the Vector you find halfway through the game will be better than any of the Assault Rifles you find at the start. So you are basically forced to run new weapons unless you want to waste 50 bullets on a single enemy.
>>729137285>to an actual good game.Remove your nostalgia goggles, the og trilogy wasn't any better.
>>729141241>Psydogs harder than pseudogiantsLike how is anyone having any problems with psydogs in the game?
>still no A LIFEkek
>>729140026Nobody gives a flying fuck about Ukrainians and their shitty “culture” and whatnot. People played stalker because it had this post soviet vibes not because it’s set in a fucking Ukraine.When people think of Chernobyl they think of Soviet Union not Ukraine.
>>729140895How much of a dumb cunt do you have to be to suck the cocks of creatives and then bitch when they remove some of the cock from your mouth?>i just want my cool imageryIts a shame alot of that imagery means more to the people making it than it ever will to you, you fucking child
>>729142706Lmao stfu esl euromutt
>>729142607You still dont seem to be able to handle real life and the fact that the Ukrainians who make it dont like Russians at the moment you fucking spastic lmao
>>729142706You are speaking to a Russian, friend.
>>729142750Lmao im not even a euro, youre literally mentally deficient and grasping at straws amerimutt. Everyone is laughing at you
AhemFirst: It's ChOrnobyl, not ChErnobyl, patsanySecond: STALKER, Prey (2017) and No One Lives Forever 2 are the best first-person games, don't bring HL, Doom or Quake, they're barebones "we've got new tech"Third: cope, seethe, dilate
>>729142764Turns out Ukrainians make shitty buggy unoptimized games with jeet assets while trying to sell nfts and some euroniggers defend this cancer cause muh political solidarity as if the rest of the world cares.
>>729142962>muh political solidarityI'm pretty sure it's less "muh political solidarity" and more "fuck you assholes for bombing our home, killing our friends, and driving us out of our own god damn country". Again, not that you'd know anything about that since you're a fucking cuck who'd just bend over and take it if someone came along and started fucking your shit up.
>>729144046So everyone worshipping stalker 2 online despite it being janky buggy UE5 sloppa are in fact Ukrainians? Good to know.Also go back to /pol/, go sign up and fight in your stupid war or something, stop bringing your woke shit to a video games board. Nobody cares about you, fuck off.
>>729137159gamma is easier try it anon
>>729144046Any country that cannot defend itself from its neighbors does not have the right to exist
>>729137159Monsters are poorly balanced, for humans just aim in the head
>>729137159Yeah, youre also kinda blind and deaf, or you play this shit while listening to music or a fucking podcast.
>>729144868Play version 1.7.
>>729144748Where the fuck did I say that? I said the reason the devs cut out all the Russian shit is because they're pissed off that the Russians are currently fucking up their country, bombing their homes, killing their loved ones, and forcing them to flee their country or risk getting blown into tiny chunks by indiscriminate missile attacks. Christ, how dense are you?If some foreign fuckstains dropped a bomb on your house that blew off one of your legs and killed your family would you go on to sing their praise and make a game about how awesome they are? I'd hope not because if you did it'd mean you're a total bitch.
>>729145085>indiscriminate missile attacksdidn't ukraine shoot their ally with a missile more than once? sounds like they're the indiscriminate ones to me
>>729145085>>729145139Fuck off and die somewhere you retarded fucking faggots holy shit nobody cares
>>729145228
>>729145139You didn't answer the question. If some foreigners bombed your house and killed your family, would you praise them for doing so?It's a simple yes or no question bro.
>>729145253The old stalker game is praising the USSR and people from that era, anon, not the current day russians. It's not that hard to understand desu
>>729145303Still not answering the question. I'll ask one more time. Would you or would you not be pissed at some foreigners bombing your home and killing your family? It's a simple yes or no question. I don't get why it's so hard for you to give a simple yes or no answer.
>>729145572I'm American and don't hate middle eastern people for 9/11. You don't have to hate an entire people because of the actions of a few of them (Their military)
>>729145572nta but yes I would, that's why I support the people of Donbass quest for liberty from the Kiev regime
>>729145085>If some foreign>Ifthere's the key word, i'm not being bombed right now, now eat shit and die woke faggot
>>729145780>Kiev regimespeaking of, when is little zelensky gonna let his people have an election? It's been quite a while hasn't it?
>>729145572they hate jewkraine and russia is bazed for being anti lgbt, nationalist and "white". so yes you are woke to them
>>729137159STALKER is one of those "quick save quick load every 30 seconds" games
This game was so fucking buggy and broken at launch, it made Cyberpunk's launch look like a masterpiece of QA. Still managed to finish it, and it did have some cool moments. I'd give it a replay now if it wasn't as long as SoC, CS, and CoP combined.
>>729137563NTA, but>economy is completely clusterfucked>tons of suits and artifacts (especially in the low and mid tier) without any meaninful differences between them resulting mainly in just fluff or outfits having such a massive difference in stats after upgrades it's a Russian roulette to which equip you should commit or which is obsolete the moment you pick it up>upgrades for guns and suits are a shitfest - individual paths often offer the exact fucking same bonuses but with one path being more expensive for some bumfuck reason or offering the classic 5% extra stats for disproportionately exorbitant cost>but upgrades are especially fucked in regard to repair prices - upgrades are often completely not worth it because of the price for repairs snowballing to shit>durability of guns especially is just sad when they start jamming even after a few mags - just give them an upgrade path that boosts >some individual mutants are still in somewhat awkward position, but it's been improved significantly>pacing and equipment progression is so incoherent and retarded it hurts my soul, especially for repeated playthroughs>A-Life is now pretty alright - which sounds good by itself, but holy shit nigger, it's ONLY ON PAR WITH THE ORIGINAL GAMES, no fucking innovation whatsoever and it took them a fucking year and GSC being massive lying cunts about it trying to jew everyone>it still often looks pretty shit with ghosting, flickering and all kinds of Unreal graphical artifacts>many, many bugs remain>still no binoculars and any action beyond 100 meters is just non-existentTL;DR, S2 is barely entering the territory of OG trilogy, where we've been for years or where modding surpassed it many times over and actually innovated, and even then, many parts of the execution is just shit at the very core of its design
>>729138226The original trilogy is good though.
I played this on launch and I enjoyed it overall despite being almost unplayable with quest bugs, memory leaks and other baffling design choices. At about the 2/3rds point I just cheat engine'd myself currency for upgrades and repairs because I could not be fucked grinding new weapons and armour to try out and shit was taking too long as it was. I understand patches have vastly improved the game so bandits aren't lasering you in complete darkness and through foliage or walls as much and some pseudo A-life has being added, Id have to do a replay to find out but it sounds like the game is significantly better now than at launch. You also have night vision and balancing changes to make everything easier. Id really have to replay it. The game for me did involve a lot of eating rounds, injecting medkits and punching energy drinks every 4 seconds, but it never really felt hard until I started getting insta killed by snipers on towers not realising they were basically death triggers until the story advanced and the dudes with near infinite HP.You shouldnt really be dying to anomalies, one of my biggest issues is that world anomalies very quickly become utterly ineffectual and irrelevant besides a couple of instances (like the red forest explosion field that's a bit annoying to navigate). You have radar that beeps when they get close and almost all of them have visible indicators. The real issue with this game is the combination of gigantic travel distances between objectives (most of which are: travel to talk to A, A sends you to X to get a piece of paper, back to A, A then sends you to Y for a key, then back to A, who sends you to a bunker, back to A, he tells you to go talk to B, who repeats this questline somewhere else. 50% of doors are little puzzles the rest are locked behind these questlines. These distances between objectives just get larger and larger as the game goes on and the paid fast travel nods fucking DECREASE for some absurd reason.
>>729137159slavjank. Ukraine isn't Europe
>>729137563>>729146910Also few major points I forgot>no faction joining beyond the main story ones and original factions been done dirty at that>no 'social' aspect for stalkers - no ranking, no statistics, no photo for the poor cunt you find dead near an anomaly, often hard to discern what faction did they even belonged>looting and rewards could've been improved -I for one am pretty okay with finding vodka and sausages with some ammo in majority of stashes, but when it's ALL THE FUCKING TIME with absolutely no uniqueness, personalisation or fun loot, then it fucking sucks - picrel is what yearned for when S2 released
