Is this for me if I liked the Metro series? From gameplay footage it looks kinda similar. I tried older Stalker games but they felt too janky for me and very boring too, I felt like 95% of gameplay was running from place to place
>>741774081No, it's an open world game centered around going into underground labs for story and diving into anomalies to get artifacts for money. It's fun for what it is, but you cannot discuss the game here due to rabid schizos.>I tried older Stalker games but they felt too janky for me and very boring too, They are janky and Stalker 2 is no different, but arguably it is more stable now with the latest patches.>I felt like 95% of gameplay was running from place to placeThen it's not for you, Stalker 2 is also like that.
>>741774081>Is this for me if I liked the Metro series?No. Metro was always a dumbed down CoD-like console trash, only aping on STALKER's designs (anomalies, artifacts, mutations....).>I tried older Stalker games but they felt too janky for me and very boring too,Which one? There's just three of them, and they are all WAY better games than Metro and the UE5-slop known as "STALKER 2" combined.Start with the Shadow Of Chernobyl, and slow your horses. It's an amazing ludo-kino with zero modern movie-slop garbage.>I felt like 95% of gameplay was running from place to placeThat's your own fault. Although if you do not like the idea of traversing through a hostile, toxic zone of alienation, trying not only to survive but also thrive in its twisted ecosystem, then you probably won't like any of the games, period.It's just fucking pathetic to see a once monolithian /v/-core series like STALKER get forgotten and even shat on by nufag tourists.Here's the old newbie starting guide if you want to give the games a honest shot.
