A complete noob tries to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl for the first time...

Glad to see more people getting into S.T.A.L.K.E.R., it's a great franchise and I hope you enjoy the game. The mutants were much more deadly pre patch 1 and I distinctly remember dumping two mags of 5.56 from the Ar16 into his spine and then getting one shot from full health by that bloodsucker. Glad to see they fixed it as on day 1 that was a brutal encounter.

Thank you for watching!

Kudos to you. For a first encounter with a blood sucker, you sure domed the bastard. It was much harder for me because I sprayed his body rather than putting bullets in his head. Fun fact: this game rewards headshots heavily and punishes body shots heavily on mutants and armored humans. Also, if you want to avoid losing all your stuff at the start, drop it all in that safe you opened in the building next to the 3rd scanner location. Your stuff will be there for you to get after you throw the bolts at the anomaly when you wake up.

Cool! Thanks for watching and giving me some tips!

@@Zaymonte I did notice I didn't get my AR16 back though. Still, saved most my stuff that way because my brother warned me that you get robbed in the game

I'm assuming your on Xbox? If you have a PC, you should look into the OG3 and all the mods. There is so much content out there for a STALKER fan. It's phenomenal. I'm actually playing through Clear Sky right now again...but this time, with a modpack called Last Fallout Overhaul. I also just re-beat the first one, but did so using Radiophobia 3. There's just so damn much content...when your all done with the OG3, you can then move onto Anomoly and it's different modpacks, like Escape from Pripyat and GAMMA (I love GAMMA).

Really badly optimized game. Its just how it is. I managed to get around 144+ fps but only in some areas, with a bit of upscaling. But there is still areas(inside the game) where it will drop to 60fps and below. Its allright. Got used to it after playing this game for 100+ hours now. I love the game so far. Its really good. I played the STALKER series before, so i knew many things about the game, so it was a much easier playtrough for me. I knew the map(many areas inside the game are similar to the old STALKER series, inculidng the weapons, factions, NPCs, mutants etc.) Developers said, you can play this game without played the old STALKER games, but in my opinion, for a much better experience and easier playtrough, you should at least played one of the 3 older ones, so you will have an idea how it is, whats waiting for you and things like that. Glad to see you playing STALKER mate, you earned a new subscriber and good luck in your playtrough.

Give it time...They'll fix it. I'm giving it the Cyberpunk treatment. I'm not touching STALKER 2 until they get it all worked out.

[@sulyokpeter3941]

@iHoPStA I finished the game today. I mean i got to the ending. It was a good experience. I really enjoyed it, however iam not going to do a 2nd playtrough. Iam waiting for more patches/fixes for now. Back to BO6 grind. :D

[@iHoPStA]

@@sulyokpeter3941 Are you a stalker fan otherwise? Idk what your playing on, but on PC, Stalker GAMMA and Escape from Pripyat are really good modpacks. I love GAMMA. They just added base building to it recently. Nothing fancy...but you can build walls and whatnot. Kinda fun making your own little base just outside of Rostock. lol...I'm hoping, with time, we see some sort of EFP or GAMMA for Stalker 2...that and co-op mod. I'm sure someone will figure out how to do co-op. It's unreal engine, now.

[@Zaymonte]

Yeah I’m sure it’ll improve over time but I love the vibes of the game and I’m glad I checked it out.
