Still find it stupid people complain about it like it's this horrific nightmare immersion breaking scenario of having neon signposts telling you where to go. It's just a nice not going "Oh hey I can climb this ledge or ladder" instead of the OG trilogy problem of throwing yourself at anything vaguely ladder shaped and hopping you glued to it. Which meant you spent a lot of time jumping around at stuff like a complete idiot.
This game is absolutely enthralling. Out of all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, this one really has me in a vice grip. I've been playing since launch and completed the game three times out of the four different endings. Here is some helpful tidbits. Artifacts are not as broken as the other games. There is a capacity to how much they can do. The best ones are no longer the endurance but the radiation suppressors, bleeding resistance, Physical Protection and Weight reduction are all super valuable as they help mediate with the new changes to gameplay from other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. Food and sleep is needed. As when you're hunger increases or you go four in game days without sleeping, you're aim goes completely out the window for trying to hold steady. Weight is far more detrimental in this game then the others. Weight (And this includes gear that your wearing) effects both Stamina drain/recovery as well as Stealth. The heavier you are, the more strain on the stamina bar as it'll drain faster and take longer to recover. And you will be very detectable even when crouching you'll make too much noise for being heavy. Hope my advice can help any new Stalkers out there. As always, Good Hunting Stalker.
@GentleGiantJoe funny you can ads and move quieter no mater what weight. Artifacts are pointless they were not needed at all in my play through don't waste money on expensive repairs pointless just drop guns as they degrade upgrading wasn't needed either as bullet type made more difference. How you stomached 3 play throughs is beyond me. It's literally the worst rated stalker game on steam at the minute. For good reason.
@@BensSistersUndies People like to cope with things like these, im disappointed in stalker 2. I dont hate it, im sure it'll improve, but its gonna be another case of cyberpunk where we have to wait another year for game to be fully polished. (My opinion based on the release of stalker 2, so some points might not be correct anymore) things that get me is just - AI is a downgrade, none of them use cover or if they do its only rarely, they just stand in the open and shoot you. - A-life system not working is a huge downgrade - A lot of the immersion is gone, again though most of it is still under AI. - Spawning system is horrible, game feels incredibly scripted. you have a bubble in 100 meter range that has shit spawn near you. increasing it would've helped more, but in other stalker games it has render distance instead of generation distance like in Stalker 2. Simply said, stuff pops into existance - Optimization seems to be all over the table, for me personally it was running well, but for some of my friends it was running way worse even though they had objectively better PCs. - While guns are a lot more better in means of feeling that the old stalkers... their usability is way worse, you burn through them faster (just like you said) with singular example of Skif's makarov that for some reason is really hard to break. - A lot of texture flickering, or render bugs for items that dont render from a certain distance (trees sometimes) - And my personal favorite, yellow paint :)
stalker 2 is amazing and honestly my only two complaints were how tanky the mutants were (which they fixed) and the fact you couldnt climb up stuff that was very obviously low enough which is saying a lot in todays market
7:27 Why did I immediately think of a Fallout style Perk? "ATF Agent; 10% Damage bonus against Animals and Unarmed Humans, 20% Bonus against Dogs" 10:50 Huh...that makes me think of a game mechanic which could be fun for a game like this...but it MIGHT be a little too detailed for this game in particular. Basically, the same concept as the fallout games where you repair guns, using parts from guns of a similar type. Except while Fallout it was just a gauge showing the guns durability and how much it would go up depending on the durability of the gun you're sacrificing and your Repair Skill; how about making a little "parts indicator" for which pieces of the gun are more damaged, and you swap out various parts until you have a functional gun again and another gun that's basically a placeholder piece of scrap, or you just have all the disassembled broken pieces as random scrap.
@@buffalo2344 I would not realize that, since I don't have this game, lol. It's neat to think that there was someone out there who was just as much of a madlad as me though.
@@WorldsTallestLeprechaun the more you know but yeah they built a whole modpack off the old stalker games engine and it works through a mod for stalker called anomaly it has almost if not 500+ mods and one or multiple of them do exactly what you mentioned in your original comment with the slight difference that it applies to armors as well and as for the guns beside the parts having durability the gun itsself has durability and the lower it is the more the parts get damaged when the weapon is used you also require certain repair kits if you wish to modify or repair parts
there is a place you can sell red guns at later in the game, but it’s a few hours away and not really worth saving a bunch of early game loot for a couple hundred extra bucks, better to save for mid to late game gear like 9x39 guns and LMGs and such
4:38 you don't know how bad of the joke that is😭 No offence, russians just calling Ukrainian language and nation in general "not real" and "just wrong russians" Nice video tho, funny to watch)
this game was my personal most-wanted game of all time. i played the absolute CRAP out of the previous Stalker games! Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, Stalker Clear Sky, Stalker Call of Pripyat and of course the fan made epic that was and still is Stalker Anomaly!! all based games that i still visit every now and again. i am super hyped for what is coming to Stalker 2 later this year!
when u develop a game during a active warzone n some of ur team members go n fight in the said war n u have to move studios after a russian attacked bombed it u dont expect a perfect game
You must be high. I'm a die-hard fan of the older games, but Stalker 2 is such a mess it isn't even funny. It has literal regressions in systems from the first entry in the series, from clear back in 2007. The spawning issues and the sponge problems on the mutants are symptoms of deeper issues, and track record says if it gets fixed, it'll be by modders, not by the devs.
@ Dunno - I started playing the game ~2 weeks after release and in 90hrs of my playthrough I didn't encounter any gamebreaking bugs. A-Life was patched in the middle of my playthrough and in general I never felt frustrated or anything. It's still a brilliant game and not even close to as bad that it would make me think otherwise. What sponge problem you mean exactly?
