S2 feels too much for a general audience

robust pendant
#

I would say that the devs struggle, not the engine

#

The engine can accept a lot of things, as long as you implement it properly

A-Life 2.0 even don't exist, we just have desdocs of S2 (2011) A-Life and interviews of HoC A-Life 2.0.

Thing is that the engine is good, or at the very least decent, but, CEOs need to put the focus on performance since day 1 of development, which they dont

#

Because when they do, stuff like ARC and silent hill F happen

#

And people appreciate it

At least 3 of the scopes work. Time for some CQB shredding.

Though pretty sure the zoom on the 8X scope is lower on the Hunter than on the M14.

And if you need something compact, the APS does good enough.

vapid galleon
shrewd needle
#

The Holographics and the Open Collimator are a bit skewed off, the regular Collimator doesn't work.

vapid galleon
shrewd needle
#

I carry 4 weapons for that...the APS (always), the G36 with a Beta C-Mag and M203 (general usage), the Malyuk with 7.62 X 39 (for temporary high-power engagements) and the SVD (sniping).

stark crescent
vapid galleon
shrewd needle
#

The other 2 I carry are the Glutton (CQB mass defence) and the Gauss Rifle (bosses).

#

Overkill, but...in the Zone, one can never be too sure.

vapid galleon
#

as they said, Cheeki Breeki everywhere!

shrewd needle
#

Very much so. And even more now that the Monolith are loose.

#

Actually, I realized I don't carry the Glutton due to the Malyuk. And I hate having to carry the Malyuk/Glutton and the G36.

#

G36 has M203 and Beta C-Mag but lacks power. The Malyuk has no power, half drum and no under-barrel attachment. The PKM has power and belt, but no under-barrel and no scope. 😒

#

Having to carry 2 rifles is a nuisance.

#

I was using AK with silencer, fast reload mag and no scope for mutant hunting. And if things go wrong, of course I have a Saiga

I havnt played in 8 months they may of even removed them but i cant find anything saying they are gone, but they whould show up more

perhaps they do in the stash rebalance thatd be dope

shrewd needle
# coral shadow even with bb? i mean, bb modifies the damage of the caliber, not the gun it self...

Well...with BB, the G36 does lower damage than the MP5 with .45. G36 is a full upgrade on the HK416, and the Carmel. Which is ridiculous, honestly.

Same for the AK; same bullet, but the Malyuk beats it for some reason and so does the Tavor.

Meanwhile, the Groza is a PITA to use (since the damage doesn't fit in) and so is the VAL, but then the VSS is fine. All 3 use the same bullet too.

PKM is where things start to get interesting due to the high damage that finally starts to feel like a rifle round and not just pew-pew.

Honestly...the rifles are still a bit on the low side. They should be doing higher damage.

That’s my point I’ve played bad games stalker can’t be as bad as everyone’s making it out to be on reviews

76 was also made by not bethesda. they put a studio on it that had like, 6 failed attempts before they were assigned to make 76

#

bethesda should have known, but they did not care

hard pebble

Yeah true

#

The ninja/logic/rick&morty fo76 live stream remains one of the oddest bits of marketing I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through

It could just be me though I’ve got to much high hopes for stalker ps5 lol

I personally think the original games are way overhyped

like, yeah, they were a big deal back then but it's like the original far cry

It was good for its time.

# hard pebble That’s my point I’ve played bad games stalker can’t be as bad as everyone’s maki...

look. most people are understanding. ukraine is war torn. they had to move alot. maybe lost a few employees. but half of it is due to their own fault.

problem 1. they had to learn how to use an engine that was completely different from their own homegrown engine, x-ray engine.
problem 2. they went bankrupt between call of pripyat and cossacks 3, which released in 2016. this game helped them getting - some - funding.
problem 3. cossacks 3 was made with openGL, not with unreal engine. which didnt help them preparing for stalker 2, which used unreal 5.
problem 4. all talent of GSC moved to create their own game studios. which is why there are so many stalker clones.

having the right talent at the right places is half the development. most talent of DICE left in ebtween battlefield 1 and battlefield 5. after battlefield 5, they lost so much talent. they didnt even had the proper people left to make the freaking UI when battlefield 2042 hit the market. only one guy was making the UI, and it was finished like days before release, so that people could atleast press ESC to leave the game when they noticed what dog shit it was.

#

however I do think as is, it gives other AAA open world shooters a run for their money

#

like, if it was a new franchise, and this was like an arkane game for 50 bucks, people would be like "ah it's alright" and move on

#

case in point, atomfall I think falls quite below it in every single damn aspect, and it got what I consider to be an appropriate critical response, which was a lukewarm "eh it's fine".

hard pebble
#

I thought about trying that game but it didn’t quite pull me in

wooden walrus
#

obviously I'm not forgiving the fact that stalker 2 released in very spotty technical condition, and that it can still stand for a metric ton of work

#

but imo even now it can justify being 50 bucks

#

I'm confused...when getting into the Promin, there was a locked switch on the control console; isn't that supposed to be turned on? Game just told me to GTFO after installing the Emitter.

I also noticed this, maybe it is tied to something that was cut, I'm not sure.

I'm becoming a Stalker veteran ... but doing missions at night...brrrr. Moving from Wild Island to Zaton...I'm frightened of every moves

This game is the Goat regarding atmosphere

shrewd needle

Should've played SoC for real atmosphere.

peak lily
#

Already done if it's a point for me 🙂

#

especially the Radiophobia 3 mod

shrewd needle
#

Fair.

wooden walrus
#

the main plus stalker 2 has over radiophobia is that weapons aren't covered in a thick layer of grease

#

so people can actually hold their weapons for more than 10 seconds at a time without dropping them.

but what does that have to do with playing Stalker for 1000 hours?

and about not being able to finish the story

Dont get me wrong. Scar is a funny personality. But hes more the zone's loony.

that name sounds familiar

shrewd needle
alpine flint
#

so they treat you like you just robbed them?

#

but you didn't?

#

weird

shrewd needle
#

Yea, S2 has this faction system where if you shoot at their people, they go hostile and if you help them, they treat you like a friend.

And they were friends, but once I returned from the Duga, they're now unfriendly.

alpine flint
#

huh

#

i dunno why they dont like you

That's later; I'm still at the part where you retreat from the Duga due to Faust.

Noon is not monolith, we’ve rejected our past.

@shrewd needle did you side with noon/spark or ward

#

If you helped spark and the noontiders before the Malachite raid, you gotta go underneath through the tunnel entrance or the ward will absolutely demolish you

this sticker is called monolith but clearly this is the plain loner exo
(the monolith exo has a green vest in SoC and i believe all games forward, the loner one has a gray vest and those red things on the belt)

TBF, it could've been on the edge of Yantar and would make more sense.

Block entry to the Red Forest.

Though, since it's just a prop instead of a real location...meh, who cares?

meager crag

I do

#

But you're right

#

GSC doesn't care, so why should I?

shrewd needle
#

No, I mean...the whole place is just a prop now; unlike in SoC, it's not even being used for any reason, so...TBF, it'd just get in the way.
