Even after being locked out of progression on Stalker 2 after 88 hrs, I'm definitely a new fan of the franchise. Ordered the trilogy since I like seeing the evolution of a series and missed the bus since im a console gamer.
having a playthrough end in a game breaking bug is kinda a hallmark of the series lol. Hope you have fun with the originals, they're... fairly stable on consoles
Great review man! I have so many good memories of this game, and like you said, when I think of the franchise as a whole it's elements from CoP that stand out. Are you going to review STALKER 2 when it comes out??
Im so hyped for STALKER 2, hopefully it will invoke all that the original trilogy did with enhanced graphics. There needs to be other games like STALKER, and if I missed any good survival shooters put them in the reply!
Nice review. I bought the games on launch but didn't touch them, then saw there was a patch recently that added gyro aiming and thought I'd give them a go now. I actually had them already on PC, but greatly prefer couch + controller gaming. It's a hard trade off though since there's also none of the PC mods.

Can you remove the head bobbing? That’s a deal breaker for me, I’ve been following this game for quite some time, i want to play it, it intrigues me.

Yep! No promises on how close to release date it'll be though.

A recent patch also added a mod hub, but it's pretty much just texture upscaling mods at this point :/
