Aside from the massive leap in lighting quality and character fidelity, the thing that impresses me most about the visuals of STALKER 2 is just how much set dressing is going on in literally every shot, especially in areas from the OG games like the Train Depot, Skadovsk, or even just generic building interiors, in comparison to the OG games that were almost entirely devoid of incidental clutter. Everything just looks so lived in. It's really damn good. Less than 3 months to go, Stalkers!

"Oh no stalker 2 isn't tarkov wannabe, outrageous!", you are right people are cruel and hard to please these days. In my opinion good movement, collector stashes, lore, good weapon animations and consumables animations maybe some decent dynamic music is enough. Some old zoomers like me grew up with basic games like doom and serious sam and that was enough. Basic doesn't mean bad, play some of the soup mods and you will get the feeling of these words.

Btw i love mods and modding i even made huge ballistics mod based on real life velocity, weight and energy for misery mod. I don't keep high hopes for stalker 2 and don't expect tarkov/john wick simulator, however i hope it isn't riddled with bad maps and lazy map design (CoP unclimbable slopes) and invisible walls, lazy ai, lazy weapon design, animations being eyesore, bad optimization etc.

Mods only ruin a game if you install Unrealistic mods. I only install mods that enhance the experience, such as better AI, additional bug fixes, better animations, more realistic sounds, slower time scale mods, darker nights if necessary and better weather and graphics. Sometimes I will add a mod that changes the look of a character or adds additional outfits. These are my ground rules, I don't mess with anything beyond that.

I think what the devs were thinking about co-op is how they originally made the first 3 games You did team up with groups from other factions but it was only temporary, and even then they had the chance of dying and leaving you to fend for yourself in the mission. I had that in Clear Sky, trying to clear out the Military presence in the Army Warehouses for Freedom to use. I was forced to fight Spetsnaz alone because my npc squad died even if I tried to reload saves. And in the end it did give me a sense of victory when I finally wiped the place of them. It feels more rewarding when you do it all by yourself, you have that sense of pride in completion. Sometimes it just feels more rewarding when the challenge is more hard on you and that is more likely when you are alone instead of with friends that won't die so easily, giving you an advantage for the challenge to be easier. It doesn't have the same kick. Because if STALKER 2 or the previous games was gonna be that easy and feel so simple, I don't think I would still be playing it today.

Don't forget we played first because of the story but fell in love with how those mods could present the main character, The Zone. I think that's the parts they should lean on, it would give it a darks souls esque focus on setting that I think is already there. But they're also probably well past the concepts and planning stage so whatever they have is already baked in.

And in my experiance with the STALKER modding community, there is nothing imposible, mods ranging from bugfixes, intirely new stories or just crazy shit that has nothing to do with stalker, there is something for everyone, and if STALKER 2 is as easy to mod as like lets say Anomaly, the game will not die for 20 more years.

That's a specialist caliber highly prized in the Zone, and those mags don't grow on trees. 1:03 / 4:09 Good to see left-handed characters in the Zone. 1:29 I hope they bring back the ability to "dodge" pseudostomps with perfectly timed jumps. 1:49 Oink Oink Fleshy Piggy! 🙃 1:56 Wanna try yer hand at some Zone Sportsmanship Challenges? 2:06 I started with OG ShoC in 2007. First mod was Oblivion Lost 2.2 in 2008. Then Oblivion Lost 2010 in 2011. Then an older version of Lost Alpha some years later. In between OL2.2 and OL2010, I tried some L.U.R.K. but didn't care for it. Two shots from a Mosin-Nagant to kill a tushkano?! No thanks! That's not a challenge. That's just making things futile for no reason. Been playing standard-issue Anomaly for a few years now and still enjoying it. 4:08 Ukraine is a rehearsal for Armageddon. The major players are a Germany-led EU (the Beast) and Putinist Russia and its allies (Gog and Magog). Anyone who sings praises to Putin is proselytizing in the name of Meshech (Moscow). Ezekiel 38,2: "Behold! I am against you, Gog of the land of Magog, chief prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal." 4:09 That's not how you do a McMillan Tilt.

I must say I never enjoyed the mods with all the spiders/critters running amok. Can't wait for (but I will) STALKER 2.

Huh? People playing a game together is bad? I have no idea how you came to that conclusion, Co-op with friends is fun and makes even the worst made games fun, Now big corps rationing the multiplayer part, spliting the game with dlc, locking features behind paywalls, allowing people to pay for items, boosts etc, that's the kind of garbage that's ruining gaming, but expect nothing less from corporations today, Activision are normally the main boundry pushers, even just recently they add a skin that gives party boosts, but everyone in your party needs to have the 20$ skin for it to work, I don't think most people realise how bad, scummy, predatory that is.

Stalker 2 will be a game with linear story, some A-life and sidequests will be here and there. Co-op games are either linear story games that are designed for co-op or survival-crafting games. People get sad when they learn co-op will not be in the game, what about people who wants to play alone? Should developers design their game storywise and challangewise for sp or co-op? However co-op would be amazing for a freeplay mode like of Anomaly, would be good if developers worked a bit on compatibility for it as A-Life, Tasks and multiple level world system of Stalker games are not easy to implement for a modder working on multiplayer

@lightlezs7048 29 күн бұрын
Even having a friend to talk to alongside me as I play Stalker is enough to absolutely destroy all tension or feeling of immersion, so if the majority of game designers for Stalker 2 are like me then it makes sense why they would not want to have coop features. If there were enough people who want coop anyways then sure, I wouldn't mind it existing at all, but since there obviously aren't then the devs definitely shouldn't need to bother with implementing coop, especially when there is enough work on the plate already for them. Just look at games like Metro and different kinds of immersive sims, they categorically avoid coop for a reason, and not enough people complain about the lack of it for that to be even a known problem with those games, so since Stalker 2 aims at that same audience it again makes sense not to have any coop IMO. And again I don't personally have any problem with the option potentially existing, if we lived in a world were game companies have infinite budget and time to develop.

Stalker shadow of chernobyl needed a beast of a pc and clear sky was just crysis 1 levels of stupidly hard to run . From what ive heard from people who played the demo they nailed the stalker atmosphere and the gameplay is fun and fluid so i am very hopeful that the game is good but only time will tell.

I don't want stalker 2 to be some tarkov-esque tac sim shooter thing like Gamma or Efp, because that's not what stalker is to me.
