    Veteran difficulty doesn't mean you are a veteran in shooting games. It means you are a veteran stalker. If you can't see an anomaly even after what it did to a dog - you are as green as Kordon pines.

      @Skoshtwo 15 дней назад +4

      No, it means the developers don't know how to balance the game to feel challenging and yet rewarding so they spread the balance into several artificially made difficulty settings that just increase/decrease the base stats of players and enemies.

    Choose hardest difficulty because ego.
    Skip all tutorials because ofc you know better.
    Never pay attention to sounds or UI indicators. Reading is for nerds!
    Don't pay attention to what the quest/mission is about. Who cares!

      Streaming is basically the equivalent of playing a game under duress. If you take too much time reading tutorials/figuring things out, people get bored and leave. So a lot of streamers skip past dialogue/low-interaction content because it's not interesting for an audience watching. Tactical (ACTUAL TACTICAL, NO COD) shooters need you to be patient, take your time, and take fights carefully. This works against any streamer whose goal is to make content as entertaining and interesting as possible. In that sense, STALKER is the worst game for a streamer to play, especially if they don't know how the game works from the get go. Asmond is not a shooter player, let alone a Stalker player.

      The difficulty on Veteran is implemented horribly so I don't blame him. You have to blast a bloodsucker 20 times with buckshot because for some reason GSC decided to give them armor so you need AP bullets. For a fleshy mutant.
      Tbh without A-life, this game is not even worth playing, so he did the right thing.
      I'm saying this and I absolutely loved the originals and I still regularly play Anomaly and Gamma. I'll stick to those until this game is playable.

      Veteran difficulty reduces player damage down to 0.85x which is utter bs while Bloodsuckers and other mutants already have insanely high HP pools for absolutely no reason.
      The bloodsucker is an agile stealth killer, not a tanky thick mutant...
      Also there is A-life in the game present, upcoming patch notes are about fixing it so its definitely there and I've seen bandits and stalkers fight across the zone. I find the game playable and better than Anomaly/Gamma in some aspects but not every and so much is still broken right now its truly bothersome but not bad enough for me not to at least do one playthrough but Gamma is where im gonna stay afterwards for now.
      Also im sitting on like 600 AK ammo (200 AP) and im just at Garbage/second area of the game while having like 30 spare medkits, bandages and swimm in food and supplies.

    I am a game developer who is around 6 years older and probably played as many games as Asmon. This video here is either pure show or a complete disgrace on how to access a game the first time. I am sorrowful seeing this because the developers of this game, despite the bugs and very difficult development environment, managed to make the game pretty accessible at the start. But ignoring literally 90% of this and then running around like a headless chicken can't be blamed on the game mechanics. That is, again, disgraceful and very ignorant. I am ok with the statement that this game is good but nothing for him - but on the other hand, he did not put the minimum effort to understand the base mechanics who are part of the game design. IF he would act like this in POE, POE II, WoW or any Souls game, he could not play any of these games altogether. I normally don't care that he gives a skit on everything, and I watch his stream and videos regularly - but this here is the first time I can't be on the "all cool guys" side. That game deserves a little better - despite its rough start, and probably a couple more months of polish.

      @@sheevikhanik There is nothing to lol about. It came out and that is impressive. I was close on moving to Kyiv, a couple of weeks before the new war began. We had to move our whole Kyiv Team out to keep them safe. No matter how long development takes (Google Daykatana, Horizon Zero Dawn, ME Andromeda, etc how long it sometimes took from first draft to final release).
      -- I think I took the wrong approach.. even with this answer here.
      Back in the days, we got our Music Production Studio a new and unique mastering mixer. 4 metres long, 500 kilo. It took two years to build it and the creator said it will take around 1-2 years during daily usage to tune it. But then.. it will last for decades, alongside minor material-altering.
      If people would know more about this stuff, they would be less ducky when a game does not release 100% perfect. Yes, 15 years ago, this was less common but does anyone remember why Game Magazines with CDs were the hot skit? Because of the bugfixes for several games.
      But back then, a wall in Unreal Tournament consisted of two vertices and a simple texture. There were no Nanite Overdraw problems, Lumen card resolutions to take care of. The difficulty of keeping things bugfree raised and UE5 for sure is not the saint and savor for everything - the opposite, I would claim as UE5 dev.
      Does all of my talk here makes sense? Maybe not. Is it a wall of text? Yes. Does it make Stalker 2 better? No. But I hope that at least one person may get a better understanding how the world ticks.

      It wouldn't be any better at rookie difficulty because he simply skips every tutorial and text on the screen because he thinks he knows better.

Usually when people choose max difficulty, they accept the fact that they'll have to fucking learn and immerse themselves into the game to enjoy it. Asmon doesn't do that.

    This game is too hard to play on stream on veteran difficulty for the first time ever trying a game like this. All of the handholding and coddling is gone. No health bars running around during combat, no sidekick telling you everything you have to do all the time, no cursor leading you through to the next thing always. Even NPC's aren't okay with you running up to them with a gun pointed at them. These are the things that have made games dumbed down but now people are just used to it. Dependent on all of the hand holding. Sad times.

      I mean this game does hold your hand to be fair. It's not a true stalker experience at all. Your objective is written on screen and marked at all times. You get a UI element showing you when a hostile npc is detecting you and from which direction. The game is also incredibly static with no A-Life system so you can cheese AI and spawns easily to get infinite meds and ammo. The original games gave you a fraction of the info this game does and the AI and spawns were not only dynamic but a lot smarter and more sneaky.

One month is not a long enough timespan to add something this complex and realistically it would've been one of the first things they developed since A-Life is what makes the series unique.

    It seems obvious that you purposefully put the game on the hardest difficulty so you can tell people you stopped playing because it's too hard when you didn't want to play it in the first place.

    I've heard switching to the Ukrainian voice acting makes it so much more immersive.

      It does, also because the english vo is really crappy at times.

      I like doing this. Ukrainian in stalker, Russian in metro 2033, Italian in assassin's creed, Korean in Crysis (which, funny enough, happened automatically if you raised the difficulty) and whatever language they had in the various far cry games. Some games have some good voice acting and it's worth switching.
      However I will say that even if it's in English I need subtitles or half of everything sounds like it's underwater, muffled. So I don't mind reading the subtitles since they'll be on anyways

      Yes and no. It does make the setting of Ukraine/Chernobyl feel more authentic, but having to stare at subtitles and missing what's actually happening (facial expressions, body language, environment, things in background) is a bummer.
      It's a wash. At least for me.

    I'm getting the "Too much backseating stressing him out not gonna continue" vibes with this one, hope he can enjoy it off stream if so
