I got this vid to wow the comment section is dead

@@Spectrythium Indeed it is. Only I remain. Still here

@Sillystuff-i7s you mean both of us

@@Spectrythium The fact that every time I come back to reply I hear the sound💀

@Sillystuff-i7s lol

I played all of Trilogy about 15 years ago and I bought Stalker 2 in Ultimate Edition this time Like this, I got caught in the back by my favorite game and developer.

This aged poorly

The real joke is how they pronounced themselves as contenders for GOTY and begged their mindless slop enjoyers to vote for them 😂😂😂 I mean we're talking about people who did absolutely nothing while their government armed neo nazis and their own military worked alongside said nazis killing civilians indiscriminately. Those nazis were then recruited into the army and again there was no protest from the people. Their national hero is a literal nazi collaborator.

I think because microsoft forced them. How they force the most xbox exclusive games, much of them are unfinished, like microsoft flight simulator 2024.

Yes the engine should take work away that they can put it in a other area but reality is they don’t because they want give less money out so they need less people and fire them. They don’t use them really. That’s why unreal engine was a good idea but in reality it’s not. Without gaming industry would be better at the moment.

The thing is a bug not going completely cut off offline a life system from game it could cause some conflicts like stalker faction changes when offline and in render distance, or dying for no reason, but now its like it never existed and online is not even online a life but more like random spawner, if a life in game than there should be tons of code for such complex system in game files or functions pointing to it, but there is 0 things only spawner called a life.

A Life is A Lie

It's not working because it's not even in the game

There should be a lawsuit coming their way if they don’t fix this but I think them deleting it off the store page a day before launch was enough to cover their asses

​It might have covered them legally but they've been exposed as being morally bankrupt and greedy. They released a broken EA open beta at AAA prices and blatantly lied about a core feature of the game. Scummy af

A Life is a system that simulates tasks of NPC, for example human NPC has tasks to go somewhere on patrol, kill mutant lair or take other faction territories, there are 2 a life simulations, 1 is online and other is offline, offline one is when you out of render zone lets say stalker on patrol gets attacked by dogs and killed if you go where this stalker was you will find his corpse and maybe dogs roaming around if they didn't moved somewhere, so online a life basically shows things what is your render distance and offline what is happening out of your render distance, so it feels like persistent world wirh things happening everywhere without you knowing.

So if people complain about missing features which were advertised and are not in game completely you are gen z, nice one man lets throw money to dev companies who release unfinished games with missing features and who ever complains lets call them gen z

You can't turn off such a system, you can technically use some code in game to do so, but there is no evidence or game files that point to a life existing in game, only few functions for spawning npc around you and its called a life, which is not even a life, a life requires tons of code but there is nothing it you dig game files, they need to implement a life first.

and tbh i think they should just revamp it

​@@badspyv1nce528 i don't know man. Just because code has "A-Life" in it doesn't mean it's the complex background npc simulation we've all expected. The fact the devs are just calling it "bugs" and "not working properly" is telling. If they need to be that vague it's probably because the truth is pretty damn bad.

Everyone can make a code and write a life, in fact i checked that code and it's just a simple spawner that we have now, if a life would actually exist there would be tons of code and different files associated with life because how complex a system is, you cant make a life with few simple functions like they have now lol

I have deja vu, because when the first part of the game was released, I heard the same shit until the current build of the game was leaked to the public and, lo and behold, it was still there, and later it was even improved.

@@ballinbulgruuf5920 "first part of the game was released" what? "it was still there, and later it was even improved." I dont get what you trying to say.

​@@ballinbulgruuf5920Wtf you talking about, a life in SOC was since release, maybe not as advanced as mods like anomaly but it was there, they even had lots of showcases of a life before release, but with s2 there was none which was red flag, they always tried to evade showing it and had excuses for it witch is odd because if you are dev and created something complex you would want to show to people, especially fans this system to attract more attention, also during gameplay video they said that combat AI have stages when they dont know where you are they will look after you and other stage to think where you might be etc.. witch was lie again, they just spawn in front of you and always know where you are no matter if you change position somewhere they straight away know your position

That's exactly what i was trying to say to people a bug can't completely cut offline a life simulation, if a bug exists it might cause something like if a free stalker gets out of render zone it will turn to duty or dies for no reason, its not going to be completely cut from game such system or make it look like its cut, also in game files there are only few function call backs to a life, witch is basically random spawner around your radius, witch is not a life, complex system such as a life would have tons of code and split in different files witch again is none, completely obvious its not in game and its not a bug, literally 0 evidence of its existence, i literally going to save current files as backup and after update or couple more check if some files or code was added, if its the case it means they literally lying witch i suspect and i suspected a life is not in game even before release, because devs when asked about showcasing a life always had excuses to not showing, witch is odd since as a dev you would want to show off one the best system in gaming of AI behavior to attract more people and ensure fans its still there, now they dealing with backlash and lying about oh its big only, oh we removed a life from steam because its confusing bla bla damage control, by lying they will ignite more problems towards themselves, people will stop buying they're products in future, and its going to be too late to apologize for lies, they could easily tell that there is no a life, maybe UE cant handle such things or because its more open world game and to much resource heavy, or its being still developed because didn't had enough time to implement, but ofc they said its there because they wanted people money because its biggest selling point of game from old stalker fans, but i think they shot themselves in foot with everything they saying now, everything going to surface sooner or later.

You haven't played Clear Sky I see....

@t1m0fey_p3dan3 yeah well Clear Sky is trash so that's not an argument.

you don't need play very far in game to realize the a life isnt working
