    I've been obsessively playing Stalker 2. Never played the originals. Really love the similarities to Fallout. It's scratching that "I want a new Fallout" itch that the show gave me. Now I wanna go back and play the originals. Props to the devs updating the game quickly. New patch drops today.

      I think there's tons of similarities, I just find STALKER infinitely more compelling and fun to play. I think its FPS mechanics are in another league. I'm not sure about the other aspects, maybe lore isn't as rich but I find it more interesting because it's less removed from reality

Also this year was a Presidental Election year and a drought year for Film as last year had at least a 6 month SAG strike.

      @Farowlol dude you're lying to yourself. if that was the case Japan wouldn't be a big thing in the West with gaming and Anime. drop the history rewrite as the original Gamergate was over "ethics", which in reality a "journalist" got upset at his ex that was on a team making a game. this ex-boyfriend would be called a "cuck" today. the irony is that a few years before that most of the journalists left the Industry, which bloggers replaced them. bloggers were cheap and woukd do anything for attention like click-bait. so half of the current Gamergate is around this time and most of the drama is still fake. so tell me how the ME3 ending, VIP passes, lots of games having DLC, Polygon with Doom Eternal, GTA just existing, and CoD being a FPS are a few examples of a "woke" agenda in the original Gamergate.

  • @danielstockley5631
    @danielstockley5631 20 дней назад

    People should not watch the 1979 movie Stalker and expect anything like these first person shooter games. It's a very slow, meditative (as that guy said) experience and yes, I also found it to be one of the most beautiful movies I've ever watched. The Soviet sci fi novel that it was based on (Roadside Picnic) is actually a bit more like the Stalker games. But it's set in North America after aliens briefly stopped on Earth and created anomolous zones by leaving their trash (like humans leaving strange artifacts for ants to find after having a roadside picnic, hence the name).
    It's also funny that Lock described Stalker games as one player Escape from Tarkov, because that game was also inspired by 'The Zone' from the Stalker movie and the game's title is even a reference to the film's director Andrey Tarkovsky. But again, don't watch the movie expecting to see gun fights or action.

  • @TheLastDaysOfSorrow
    @TheLastDaysOfSorrow 23 дня назад +2

    Question to people deep into Metaphor: does the plot/character writing get any better/ more dynamic?
    I've put it on ice after the second dungeon because it kept reminding me of the somewhat formulaic Persona 5 character/plot writing:
    goody two shoes with bagage -> introductory arc -> "awakening" -> assimilated by the group with all further (inconsequential) development sectioned off to their social link.
    Don't get me wrong - so far, I do like Strohl, Hulkenberg and Heismay - but I'm worried that past their respective arcs, their relevance to the main plot will be just as pale as in P5. I'd prefer if they'd actually grow or even regress throughout the story and not just become stale plot-exposition devices for the next 70 hours.
    Main villain so far also just reminds me of Shido from P5 - bad guy doing bad things.
    Since the time commitment even after 20ish hours is quite considerable, I'd appreciate an indication whether this games writing is more Persona 5 or preferably more like Persona 3, Devil Survivor or P5R third semester.

    • @RokkouA1
      @RokkouA1 23 дня назад +2

      I've finished the game and I personally as someone who holds the 3rd Semester highly, Metaphor stacks up pretty well by the very end of the story. Main party is still relevant beyond their social links but their SLs are really good especially in how it ties to the themes and it's easily the best SL compared to P3,4,5 imo. The overall flaw of Metaphor is that you can tell that the overall amount of story you get is cut a little bit short before the end game, it feels like there could of been a dungeon or 2 more, and 1 more town/month they could of used to flesh out more of the story and the later party members. It feels like it has the opposite issue to P5 which has too much while Metaphor could of had more. I found Louis to be a compelling villain, he has interesting motivations and impactful actions, not quite as good as something like Griffith (what is lol) but around as compelling and impactful as 3rd Semester antagonist was.
      I'll admit though I found Metaphor to be little rough in some parts in the middle but what made Metaphor work for me was how they tied everything up by the very, very end game and how it made me understand what the developers wanted to say as their theme/message which I found to be very compelling. I guess Metaphor is more like Persona 3 where everything finally comes together by the last 1 or 2 months. I do really like Metaphor as it really grew on me by the end but I'm kinda suprised by the overall positive reception of the game as I feel there aren't that many people weighing in it's flaws. I'll bet that this game will be a little more divisive as time goes on.

    Stalker 2 is a massive disappointment. A-Life is non existent, tons of quests are bugged, even game breaking where entire towns full of characters can just randomly disappear, locking your progress. Mutants have way too much health, the buy/trade and repair system is completely unbalanced, etc.
    It's like they just have the bare foundation of the game finished, and nothing has actually been balanced or tested.

They said A life is next so fingers crossed. Cyberpunk took years so at least it looks like Stalker wont be that. Still should have been launched in better shape but I mean war and all so I do have a bit more forgiving patience with this dev team.

    The negativity around Stalker 2 is exhausting. Yeah they need to iron out performance and bugs, but my god the game itself is awesome. Legit one of the best games that has came out this generation in a time where everything tries to play it safe or be fortnite. I remember the golden era of gaming back in the 360 era had tons of games (oftentimes the best games of the era) having tons of bugs and performance issues and barely kept 30 fps. I’d take Stalker 2 with all its issues with basically 99% of the junk that has released in the last 7-8 years.

    Origins fans like myself shit on DA2 and Inq when they came out as well, but one of those games being shit and the other eh compared to Origins is not and should not be used as a defence or justification for Veilguard being shit. And nah the combat and art style didn't evolve with each entry, the art devolved with 2, got back on track with Inq and now we have Dragon Age Fisher Price Edition. And stop being disingenuous Lock, just stop the cap. You can't accuse people that don't like the game of having never played the series then also say that Inquisition was cartoony, Inquisition is the least cartoony of the bunch and even DA2 isn't that bad compared to VG. DA2 had a WHFB tabletop vibe to it's art direction, meanwhile Veilguard is for kids and looks like Shrek, the body proportions are moronic, everyone has massive heads, short stubby arms, and tree trunk legs.
