What went so wrong bros? Did America not give Ukraine enough money?

I liked. Gonna play it again with the new update.

Literally nothing it's just redditfags with their nostalgia and rose tinted glasses thinking stalker 2 is bad.

>>713781459 (OP)

>>713781459 (OP)
They remove communism symbols and renamed to chOrnobyl it. Of course it is bad. People who bought this game got scammed pretty hard.

>>713781459 (OP)
They dedicated one of the characters to a developer who joined the Nazi Azov Battalion...
Which is certainly a glorification of Nazism.

>>713781459 (OP)
Being a Nazi in Eastern Europe is like being a member of the Ku Klux Klan who hates black Africans while being a black African living in Africa. If a team supports Nazism, they are extremely stupid and evil people who hate their own ethnicity and all of humanity. This game is not even worth pirating.

>>713781714
what makes me laugh is when any side says that about the opposite side but never admits the same thing is happening to them from their side

>Did America not give Ukraine enough money?
Gave them too much. Hohol roaches only work when they're starving. STALKER 2 devs were chilling in hotel rooms in Cyprus while larping about getting bombed. They already knew the scam was successful so put zero effort into it.

>>713781459 (OP)
The game is not just bad, it's super bad. The developers didn't bother at all. Nothing. With the types of weapons and the damage they can do. A grenade doesn't kill a man in his underwear. Movement is also a separate conversation.

Ahem...

GAMMA.

The part where Stalker got turned into a high budget product funded by Microshart.

based

>Sergei kicked all of the original GSC out, canceled STALKER 2 project back in 2012, kept the IP hostage, bought 2 new Ferraris, hired Westoid fuckers + Sweet Baby Inc to design a brand new Stalker 2, in Unreal 5, and started shilling paid DLC, NFTs and battle passes 5 years prior the release, ultimately releasing a broken, fugly, barebones parody of all things Stalker mixed with Ubishit

>>713782969
>The game is not just bad, it's super bad.
Agree. Horrible game, I do not recommend this piece of crap! You could not expect anything else! Just compare any shooters that have just been released, they are all head and shoulders above!

>>713782729
True but "our" side doesn't have pro-Stalker troll farms.

>>713781459 (OP)
They didn't donate enough pedo vans to the TCC to kidnap Ukrainian men with.

No my point was that people will often point out any pro russian propaganda and mock the normies from the other side for falling for it.
but then they eat up propaganda from their side that is pro their side and anti russian
and it's just so tiresome to witness

>>713781459 (OP)
There's only 2 good third world developers:
>CroTeam
>Quantic Dream

>>713781459 (OP)
People saying it is a big scam. Not a game.

>>713783076
In fact, the developers did nothing new at all. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is just a mod or a remake, which is very popular these days for cult games. The development company simply sawed off the money and started doing at least something in 2022, since the T-shirts apparently did not let everything slide and justify it with the war.

>>713781459 (OP)
nothing the games fine, kinda weird how they spelled all the names of shit wrong

I hate how I can't get an honest opinion on if the new patch made the game good yet or not because nobody is talking about the game really, they're talking about their views on the war

>>713783824
everything got fixed in the third patch

>>713783169
>our side doesn't have troll farms
Imagine actually believing that

>>713783824
Complete lack of intelligence in AI people. There's nothing to say about that. They can run sideways to you or ignore you in combat, while they have sniper fire in bursts at 200 meters (you can try running away instead of fighting). This is such a stupid piece of crap. Moreover, on a high difficulty level, hits pile up at least half your HP, and often almost to zero. This is a kind of compensation for their stupidity.

>>713783894
her said pro-stalker troll farms
and if you don't cut up what he said, then he is actually right.
Funny how you had to misquote him and then act outraged at the quote you yourself created.

Post USSR it was paperclipped Nazi collaborator Nationalists that were massively supported politicially in Canada, US and Australia that basically set the Post-Soviet National Identities of a lot of countries. The Baltics didn't even recognize the Holocaust until the mid 2010s and still build monuments to the Waffen SS all over the place to this day. Ukrainians tried to build a monument to the "Victims of Communism" half of the names on the monument were Waffen SS, and they wanted it placed in front of the Holocaust Memorial lmao. Australia has monuments to the Ustase all over the place.
Basically, the reality is, most of the people in these countries were fine being Soviet citizens and most of their culture was Soviet, so they needed to reconstruct a "post-Soviet" identity that rejected all the stuff people actually liked and the shared Soviet culture they grew up with and who were the Anti-Soviets generally? Nazis.

Pretty good article on the topic in regards to Ukraine.

People just forgot what vanilla Stalker is like without decades of autistic mod support to flesh it out.

Play IX-Ray instead

>game 25 years ago isn't prefect, but was amazing for it's time
>game today is hot garbage today, let alone 25 years from now
>cool mods that are 200 times better FOR FREE vs a paid shit game today
face it.
Stalker 1 was both good at the day, is modable and is impressive today with mods all for free.
stalker 2 is a hotmess that can't compete for free, let alone with a price tag.

>>713781459 (OP)
It was fun. Felt on par with CoP. Just waiting for mods and performance fixes now. I still think some day it will be the ideal platform for the successor to Anomaly/GAMMA.

Patched in in the patch that came out a couple of hours ago maybe, I haven't tried it out yet

I typically just come to these threads to laugh at russians, they're so hilariously obvious. dumb lil niggers

>>713781459 (OP)
>what went wrong
nothing, first one was piece of shit too

>>713781459 (OP)

I'm running a 14900k and a 3080ti and this game runs and looks like ass.

>>713784202
If it was only good for its day, it was never good.

>>713781459 (OP)
Anyone who replied to this bait are russian bots or npc's.
Including this post,

>>713781610
I played it the first few days on release, the performance and bugs were pretty bad. They may have fixed those but that won't fix the dull shit story

>>713784521
How do you "patch in" A-life?
You either build the game around it or you don't.

>>713784725
Pong was amazing back when it came out because it pushed what was possible back then.
Now it's outclassed, but anybody can understand the point being made here.
Stalker 1 was great for it's time, now it might be outclassed by other things, such as mods made for it outclass the base game that was made like 25 years ago.
Stalker 2? It doesn't outclass anything right now, it isn't good even for it's time. It has shit mod support.
It's a fucking scam to fleece money from people. That's it.
I can praise the original stalker devs, and it's clear stalker 2 is made by some lowlives trying to grab some money.

>>713784385
no, it's "what you believe is proapganda, what I believe is just fact and I would never fall for propaganda"
yes, they honestly believe this even they hold same views they criticize on the other side buy just mirrored.

>>713784880
If it was good then, it's still good now. That's it. Anything else is cope.

>>713784928
>if it was good in back then, it means from now to eternitys end nothing better will be made
right, I can tell I'm talking to sub 80IQ retard who can't into logic.

all the good jewkranian game devs died on the front lines in the first year of the war

>>713784971
>if it was good in back then, it means from now to eternitys end nothing better will be made
I'm not the one who sounds 80iq here.

Shit country. Shit people. Shit game.

That game came out before you were even born, didn't it?

>>713784796
>How do you "patch in" A-life?
Very easily, actually. the real question should be "why didn't they deploy it on release", but then again, the game was clearly in like mid-beta stage on release.
A-life isn't anything more than the game keeping track of a few hundred floating values consisting of IDs and coordinates, and switching the spawn values from randomized to when the floats match player coordinates. Obviously there is a bit more to it, setting up patrol paths and such, but again, it's absolutely not some kind of mammoth undertaking, and the foundations for it were most likely already there.
Despite what people claim, A-life isn't some kind of complex and deep simulation. It actually affects the games very, very little, which is why they thought they could cheat it in the first place, and frankly, again despite what people said, they could have gotten away with it, the random spawns mechanically did not really detract from the game either. People were mad about the lack of A-life because it was something of a symbol for the games, but technically, the random spawns created the exact same gameplay scenarios, the lack of A-life really is a cosmetic thing.

It's nice to see the studio stuck to its tradition, because the exact same thing was an issue with SotC as well.

>>713781459 (OP)
I love STALKER and I didn't even play this. Reason? Saw blacks and women in the game. Simple.
