1:05:11 THAT'S SO SICK!!! Its an ACTUAL Anomaly! The strange one that makes a loud wind sound when you're near it, and messes with your mouse sensitivity and vision and causes objects to float when inside it! Its similar to the glass web anomaly where, one time, I was able to freely heal myself while a bandit was shooting at me because their bullets kept hitting the anomaly! They made some anomalies affect combat like bullet time or usable cover!
What a journey it was. Take all your time, being someone who puts lots of effort in his videos makes you a great content creator. The zone has a lot of secrets to reveal, good hunting Stalker. (GSC put the Anomalous Dugout again in the game)
Thank you for playing this game whole you're my favorite stalker youtuber can't wait for more analysing videos hope you can do more game plays like that nice set of change
Hi, I'm watching this from Ukraine) thanks for the lore videos, they're awesome I also recommend that you load save before killing the doctor, and don't kill him as in my opinion the best ending, but a bit confusing at the end)
And that's another journey concluded, but I'm sure it'll not be the last one. Thank you for this fire of an adventure, feels good to be a rookie along with you and many others again, unreal even. Can't wait to see your first ever analysis on STALKER 2 too, the first of many to come. Good hunting, stalker.
What a journey! Thank you Anomalous for sharing company with you on Stalker 2 playthrought. It was very enjoyable to watch series and especially your opinion on the game, lore, characters etc.. Stalker community must to make a mod with you in it for sure because you did and keep going do so much effort to this community. Good hunting!
You did a great job thank you I can wait to see you experience the game even with the few patches they have added the game is much smoother and more enjoyable I can’t wait to see the other content you make man
I can’t wait until you make a lore video about Skif. I don’t know about Skif as a person other than he’s the guy who just want his house back. For what I understand Skif is us, from his actions chosen by us and such. Keep up the good work mister dugout 💪
Loved the playthrough and your story telling! Take your time, your quality and dedication to the series is what makes them so good imo. I have similar opinions to you on the game, I think they nailed the overall atmosphere and feeling of the game but its definitely got some rough edges, I'm hopeful they'll polish them overtime and eventually itll be a perfect game but who knows. Overall I think its a worthy successor. Yeah its a real shame that the CNPP and generators were cut, with how developed they are I'm hopeful they'll be added either as story DLC or something else and maybe iron forest as well. I'd highly recommend exploring the top of the generators with godmode and uetools, you can fully explore the area theres just deadly radiation, also during an emission, super cool to see.
This ending makes me think there's no 'happy ending', at least I'm not seeing any other character to 'follow' that would produce one. The event after you kill doctor is the only thing that has me second-guessing this. Realistically if you can't undo the zone, the next best thing would probably be stopping people from entering it or leaving with crazy stuff in their bags. It does bother me that Strelok just went in there and took over? Uh, excuse me, wasn't one mind totally not enough? The PDA opening teleports as well... uh... ok? Oh and the infinite monolithians as well, and the 'granite' soldiers being locked up down there for how long? Waiting all this time? Playing checkers in the meantime? Hm. Still, it looked fun. I'll buy it once I have a pc that can run it.
Finished it recently and loved it myself, despite the shortcomings. Glad you shared my optimism in terms of the updates that GSC can implement down the line to make it even better. Loved all the tiny references to people like Tolik along the way. I haven't been fully following your playthrough because I've been playing it myself but did you manage to find Zulu? With all the mentions of him and nobody seemingly finding him I can only assume he is cut content. I even found an audio message from him which means he has a voice actor. I also learned recently in my second playthrough that they have given the stalker who carries strelok to Sidorivich in the opening cutscene of SOC a name.
Holy shit this game is fucking amazing fell in love with story it's amazing to see all 3 legends of the zone Looking forward for the lore vids and also hope you'll return to playthrough when dlcs release loved all the vids and keep up the good work friend And good hunting stalker
The problem with this game is, and always has been is the fact that to make a sellable product one has to make it enjoyable and fun, but stalker tbh was never about having fun, stalker teaches you something and teaching requires the student to be disciplined. Every stalker game I played, it actually punished me to the point where I thought abt quitting half way through. The zone was truly something else in older games and was dangerous and hopeless in a way that made sense. The older games didn't gave a flying f***k about the player, but I guess building something like that in 2024 would be a terrible business decision, but that's an integral part of what stalker is. The bandit car park was a boss fight for me in my first attempt of SHOC and in this game they literally spam medkits everywhere. There's a lot to complain about but complaining doesn't change the fact that the release of this game itself is a miracle. Idk how many modders still work on stalker but in few months maybe a year this game will be something that I'm asking for.
What's weird is when I went to the generators I was wearing my exoskeleton and took the x7 armor , expecting that strelok would tell me when to put it on or at least I would die by something and put it on after I load back in but I don't think I ever put it on, I actually found a second armor down there.
Hell yea, I feel like a lot of the OG Trilogy players probably went for this ending. At first I thought it was a bad one and while bittersweet, I do think its probably the best outcome out of all 4. Theres never going to be a true happy ending in a stalker game.
In a weird way it’s the best one for the world as a whole just not for the actual locals for obvious reasons. I mean surely everyone would die out within 40-50 years?
i also did the strelok ending first i find it pretty bad the ward ending was worst i think but why cant you go to the cnpp? and why is prypiat not more?
18:03 that's too much, too frustrating imo, it convinces me that the game is too broken to play for now I wonder when they are planning to fix this AI bullshit.
The save where you could have made a different choice nit shooting the doctor i would much rather see what changes that would make in the story if you could do a quick video on it that would be awsome now then i have to say it i don't belive there are only 4 endings disregaring all the things pointing to it because of 1 reason 2:21:31 my gut feeling tells me that is a route to a secret 5th ending i don't have any evidence that door is for a 5th ending but i have a great feeling there is a 5th one i know anyone can ramble this kinda thing but i will stick with it even if im proven wrong until that time is upon me i will belive.
I agree the with your critical response in regard of the story and gameplay - If I am a first time Stalker player i wouldn't know what the purpose of Duty and Freedom is. GSC seems to have developed the game with their old fanbase in mind, but for newcomers it's totally unknown what these two fractions are about - For every Stalker lore content creator to not have enough safe slots is an absolut no go, but also for us normal Stalker players - The hyperinflation of bloodsuckers is very ridicolous, they use to scary me to shit but now they become really annoying - No sidequests with fellow NPC's made me sad - No elaborated sidequests with follow up sidequets - Some monsters (chimeras) are literally tanks, you need like all the bullets avaiable in the zone to kill them - AI Life is really bad with too close spawn radius - What I personally don't like is the amount of weapons and the the weapon choices GSC have made. Stalker was very diverse in this regard. But why in middle of Ukraine we would see a KRISS Vector or a DP-12 rather than CZ weapons, UZI's, AKM's or even FAL's and G3 rifles ? I hope they'll add like 20 or more weapons in the future There are more things to say but I don't want to type an essay. I just hope GSC is going to fix most of the adressed issues.
it's not really a good ending because Skif is stuck inside the Zone. I don't consider either ending to be good, I hope they'll add an actual good ending, because currently the only good ending is Strelok joining the C-Con in SoC and stabilizing the Zone.
26:57 duuuuude I love how you prepared, no wasting time looting, and give a hell of a boss fight. I also have to give credit to you for the entertainment because your gameplay (playing and commenting at the same time) became really enjoyable. I love how you can see the struggle as a rookie in the Zone, progress into a pro like you are right now. ❤️🫶

Regarding Scar, there are some notes about him becoming an Agent back at the clear sky base, definitely worth a read they are very interesting.

very much; greatly. enjoy your videos Thank you interesting to watch
One of the gratest moments in gaming history
What's weird is when I went to the generators I was wearing my exoskeleton and took the x7 armor , expecting that strelok would tell me when to put it on or at least I would die by something and put it on after I load back in but I don't think I ever put it on, I actually found a second armor down there.

@@CamronRoberts-h6b In a way the zone will truly be free now, with no one able to exploit it.
I like this one the most
So far this seems to be the most "safe" ending for entire world, wonder how DLC will change endings interpretation
@@papplemyapple yeah but don’t they completely rely on outside food shipping/smuggling to be able to eat?
@@papplemyapple No, that's the funny part
The Zone seems to be truly free in Skif ending, but it doesn't look like a good thing for humans
My first ending as well. Just started a 2nd playthrough to get the other endings.
It would be great to see your reaction to other endings, when you'll get to them
i also did the strelok ending first i find it pretty bad
the ward ending was worst i think
but why cant you go to the cnpp? and why is prypiat not more?
18:03 that's too much, too frustrating imo, it convinces me that the game is too broken to play for now

Well, i got bad news🙃 You go through there in enother ending, not secret one
@AgentUlver Even so i will still belive in a 5th ending my heart is set on it(even if it's not true)
Do you see possible Freedom X Duty faction expansions in later updates, dlc, multiplayer?
multiplayer was definitely promised for later
Also Jupiter, other parts of prypiat, CNPP, Iron forest and generators may be adder
I agree the with your critical response in regard of the story and gameplay

hmm, there is a suspicious amount of anomaly's in this here dugout.... how strange
Hello and welcome to the Anomalous Dugout ❤️
Let's gooooooo!
it's not really a good ending because Skif is stuck inside the Zone. I don't consider either ending to be good, I hope they'll add an actual good ending, because currently the only good ending is Strelok joining the C-Con in SoC and stabilizing the Zone.
28 days wow basically a month because February exists
I wonder why strelok went back to zone in stalker 2 ?🤔
for me the Strelok ending are weakest of 4.
26:57 duuuuude I love how you prepared, no wasting time looting, and give a hell of a boss fight. I also have to give credit to you for the entertainment because your gameplay (playing and commenting at the same time) became really enjoyable. I love how you can see the struggle as a rookie in the Zone, progress into a pro like you are right now. ❤️🫶
