Hello my friends, another new style of video for today.. it's a review video!
Always wanted to do reviews, I thought it would be fun to do one for something like TRUE STALKER. Just to recap the whole adventure and give it a little score.
Let me know what you guys thought about the mod!

The ending left a really bitter taste in my mouth. This series was super enjoyable to watch, keep up the great work Wave!!

Honestly true stalker feels like.. well true stalker with the exception of a few things 1. as you said the ending is just kinda.. yeah. I don't know how to feel about the ending(s) to be honest. Like i get what it's going for but it feels kinda rushed compared to the first 5 or so chapters (or whatever number it goes up to, its been a few months tbh) and then ****MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT PLAYED, AGAIN MAJOR ASS SPOILERS QUIT FUCKEN READING********** but to continue on 1 the death of axe was.. yeah, kinda part of the issue, like part of me says it was handled well another part of me feels like there should have been more after his death, but instead it just kinda feels shoehorned in and then your playing as the military for like the last chapter or two 2. the other main gripe i have with true stalker is the Alife. The mutants respawn way to fast in the exact same spot, they barely wander, etc. And the alife / STALKERS themselves while are great and feel polished, they also have there Alife butchered to shit where most npc's do not wander and do not respawn, eventually leaving the game just an empty running simulator with you running into the exact same mutants in the exact same spots. those two thing's aside though 10/10 mod, we need more true stalker lol (also kinda convinced they either cut content or planned on adding more but i never looked at the code, just basing this off of the numerous routes we have access to but then get told you aren't allowed to go there yet.. only to never use those routes)

@GundamMate07 Probably don't play stalker incubator then the canon ending for your main character is a bad one.

@AndiHabermeyer 2 ай бұрын

what bothered me is, that the respawn of Animals was bit tedious at times.. ( yes im looking at the tushkanos in the cordon especially ) though what i liked alot was the Shared Cache across all Levels. Yeah the Ending was... wierd at times and gave more questions than answers but overall i enjoyed it actually

@MrKillaz2011 2 ай бұрын

tushkanos are nothing, I had to deal with the bloodsuckers respawning in army warehouses twice, and I haven't even left the map, the start of the next quest must've respawned them, lmao

Ahhh, here we go. *Grabs the popcorn.* Side note, but although the writing for True Stalker is terrible... It did open me up to other (better) story-based standalone mods. I hear Incubator and its sequel Dreamcatcher are really good. But right now I am enjoying Wind of Time. It's a story mod that does present choices, and while it does have a few select essential characters, they aren't as egregious or numerous as they are in True Stalker---doesn't feel as railroady either. Incubator, Dreamcatcher, and Wind of Time. True Stalker wishes it was these. I'd recommend them.

@JohnPeacekeeper Stalker Incubator does suffer from a canon bad ending for your main character if you care about that. But after playing Dreamcatcher the canon ending of Incubator does make sense.

I've always had this mod in my periphery ever since the glowing reviews of it on the STALKER subreddit (you know you cant get us idiots there to agree on the same thing). The addition of the sexy UI and interesting models and generally things not yet seen in usual STALKER mods/Anomaly spinoffs, True STALKER always seemed like worth a shot. Well, Wavey, thanks for putting some hype and caution to my initial presumptions about this game. I'm excited to play it too, and I'm thankful that my expectations have been tempered by your spoiler free review. Appreciate the great vids as always, man.

interesting scoring, I never really use number scales but when asked my go to is 2 points in each category of Gameplay Story Audio Graphics Aesthetics You are the first person I see actually using Aesthetics as a category though so that's cool as hell

@WaveysGamingAdventure 2 ай бұрын

I like that set of categories! The way I did mine was making sure that I covered the things that I thought really make the entirety of the product. But the numbering was just some silly thing I came up lol.

I told you, but it seems you forgot, to try the gauss rifle in the mod, its in a stash above the crashed chopper and the village with the trader and can be obtained from a dead monolith memeber as one of those dead caches. Its a semi auto gauss and I loved using it in the last lab chapter :D, at least some fun in the endgame

The video I've been waiting for! Like You said, the end of Axe's story was frustrating as f*ck. I'm glad we kinda had the same overall score for this game, but I went with a range between 60-70. Anyways, for a first review on this channel, this turned out completely fine, and I'm here for the next one! Dr. Prof., Mr. Journalist Wavey! Cheers👋

Anomaly is a good and easy to install start - but I didn't play True Stalker. I personally have not the time for gamma, messing with mods, mod manager, overcome problems etc. etc.

First time? Honestly I'd probably tell you to play the original games first... they are a bit dated but they're still good. Between Anomaly and True STALKER tho, probably Anomaly.

@xIcyStarzz-yz7my 2 ай бұрын

My honest opinion: True stalker leaves much to be desired.. it is called ytue stalker, yes, but missing jsut about everything functions wise.. it leans on gunslinger, that's basically it. The way to explain it to others would be... Imagine SoC or CoP with really good graphics, and missing basic features such as Artifact transmutation.. startinf faction, loadouts... There's no thing new here in way of gameplay features... Basically if youre a fan of Graphics, you'll enjoy it but it's missing many basic features to be call a stalkrr game

i give this game a 50, the fact that stalker do not recognise you being overequiped on weapons, armor and personal firepower and the easy it seems to knock out my character who's using an exosqueleton, just, leaves a bad taste on my mouth, i could easily blast trough all the content with my gear, but game decided, "FUCK YOUR GEAR AND GET STUCK ON bad scripted cinematics"

there is no a-life in this mod which definitely doesn't make it a "true" stalker. Locations are empty, nothing is happening. Also the story is cringe. But maps, interface and graphics are quite good
