The foundation has been laid. Next, I'd like to see some emotion, maybe modders need to step in. These guys are like psychopathic robots, you can wipe out ALL their buddies and they casually walk away. No freaking out or being sad or anything
those are just injured soldiers bro those are whole zombies
So this 100 GB is added to the total it takes up? Seems like a lot of band aid.
you can either have every other game in your steam library. or stalker 2. choose one
what is A LIFE ?
I hate that they added a deadzone to controller. I use a hall effect stick and never needed a deadzone so making small adjustments was so much easier before than it was now. Sucks because I was relying on sniping a lot but now it's much harder
It wasn't 110 on Xbox. It was only 20. What's up with that?
Reminds me alot of Immersive Patrols from Skyrim / Fallout 4.
I really really really really really wish they had co-op
Not saying stalker 2 per say
But stalker would make a FIRE extraction shooter game (lots to do/find already)
All they would have to add mostly is story and a way for the online to work id love to play stalker with my brother (he likes watching me play but says it's to hard for him but I think if I could play w him i could mabey help him better and mabey get him to like it) (he already does he just doesn't idk he's like me and likes playing games with someone so I at least have someone to talk to)
Tbh stalker kinda already has a "extraction" kind of feel just without the extracting part.
Does anyone else have the game lag after you quickload a certain amount of times, usually takes quite a lot, and have to restart the game?
The enemies always having night vision is super frustrating. Especially not having any kind of binoculars to help spot people
I cant even play the game because every time i pause the download or close steam the download starts from the very beginning every time. and clearing download cache dosent work either
Releasing a game then changing requirements 2 weeks afterwards because of a patch (which adds things that should be included on release) is fucking crazy
Awesome update! Time for my second play through! 🙂
thank u
Excellent. Make it more like Fallout 3 with NPC's actually going places and doing things while you're not looking! It adds to the randomness of the world that keeps people playing for ages to come.
I gave up on the game. I'll enjoy it the way it was intended to be in about a year.
I hate the way modern video game release etiquette turned out.
I still prefer Gamma's more immersive survival UI, damage/healing, and A-life. Maybe it's me but the landscape looks very generic.
How about bullet impacts on enemies? Still bullet sponge or they actually moves a bit when you shoot them?
Now they spawn in multiple groups of enemies way too frequently. They went from feeling empty in the zone to feeling like they force fights every 30 ft. I had dogs, 2 bloodsuckers, bandits, and then the ward all showing up within 5 minutes. I'm wasting so much ammo and spending way too much on repairs.
Let this game cook for 1y + mods and it will be a masterpiece
Now if they could only do something about the AIMBOT AI… Dude's just don't seem to miss… ever.
Has anyone got a fix for Back to the slag heap main story mission, still broke on series x and cant progress
A for effort with patches! Compared to Halo, stalker dev's are animals! 🎉
Don't like the stealth changes.
13:38 The enemy's AI 20/20 vision and laser accuracy stopped me from playing before the patch, They broke the immersion of being a Stalker. I'm glad that the devs are addressing this issue.
Does this update fix 5fps gameplay when inside that first tavern you have to go to?
Modern games: 10TB update, just a minor patch.
Playing it on Xbox Series X… AMAZING GAME!
Every game needs a A-life system. Hopefully they even expand on it, like them modifying areas they take over and trying to conquer other outposts, depending on your support they are maybe able to succeed. Cant wait for whats to come.
Bruh they really just added a life 3 days ago I was just playing last night and the ai was the most fucking brain dead they've ever been, walking through other npcs standing inside them, hovering in the air, changing voice actors mid sentence, walking into walls, still noticing me from 100+ meters away crouching in a bush in the middle of the night, ALWAYS throwing grenades at the start of a fight, I've also never once heard gunshots in the distance, it still needs a ton of work
pff another click bait title about new small update that somehow change everythi…. wait this update is actually incredible. lol
it would be cool if the npc after winning the fight would loot the bodies just like in call of pripyat!! instead of just turning around and walking off as if nothing happened, but it is already a big leap and good news for a-life 2.0, very happy for that.
Stutter 2
Stalker 2 is a broken obvious beta that tries to be a Far Cry clone. And half the player base is either delusional or just discovered their first ever "hard survival game".
regardless wait 1 year for S2 to be amazing
regardless wait 1 year for S2 to be amazing
You are saying that is still broken and buying it is a waste of money?
hahaha use aimlabs! its hard to watch when you dont even hit a shotgun shot at 1m distance
I was enjoying the game a lot but got to the bit after you go to Sirca HQ and everyone start fighting, Zalissya and the dome just bugged tf out and i couldnt do anything to stop it. Made me quiot the game, hopefully they can fix the game more and some modders can make this into a fallout new vegas
Fantastic video. The fact that you provide results on tests you’ve done is the perfect way to assess an update. Thank you so much, and you’ve definitely gained a new subscriber.
A bloodsucker followed me for miles. Thought I could lose him after some time. But no. Instead I encounter another one. 😀
This game sucks before and after the update
Of course right after I uninstall to make space😐
