I Thought I Was Going To Hate S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

its not that the features are "missing", this game was never meant to be a sequel to anomaly/gamma/custom, its a sequel to the trilogy. its not a hardcore survival game, it just has some survival elements, like the original games had, while taking some inspiration from anomaly with the tactical animations and such.

[@h.st4hl]

That is true. But it would have been appreciated by a lot of fans if they did take inspiration from the mod packs regarding mechanics and features ☢️

[@grissomplays2546]

You are of course right. Gamma players were always going to be a little disappointed by the depth. But... we have moved on 15+ years from OG Stalker, so it is reasonable to expect a little bit more. Nevertheless I am enjoying the game. Just hoping for better A-life, more loot variety and more hardcore elements, whether added by the devs or the modders.

[@jtest6670]

​@@grissomplays2546 we got a lot more, just in a different direction. Way better story, way better and more varied quests, good dialogue and overall every narrative and cinematic aspect is so much better. I agree with the A-life argument, its a staple of the trilogy and should be here and loot variety being improved is a good point as well. Some helmet and outfit equip animations would be very nice as well, since they already took inspiration from anomaly with so many tactical smooth animations. That being said, the only hardcore survival mechanic that should be added imo is a seperate thirst system, since it would make water way more useful instead of being a bootleg energy drink mechanically. Aside from that, devs shouldnt really touch the hardcore survival aspect imo, just stick with the original vision and allow modders to add anomaly/gamma stuff for fans like us that do enjoy this aspect. So to conclude this, I dont think people buying a stalker sequel should get an anomaly sequel instead.

@@h.st4hl The problem as I see is that if you overbloat a game with features and mechanics and realism, all you can think is all those mechanics/items/perks, they get in the way of just experiencing a game and especially interfere with atmosphere of the game, you are not soaking a view, you are wondering if you took a oil to repair a rusted repair kit to fix a 4,5% durability of a 60 round magazine for 5% less chance to misfire... I dont remember people stopping and admiring a visual aspect of part of a Tarkov map (maybe some do but still), if someone likes this then thats fine with mods, but dont expect that from normal stalker. And all this comes from a guy who got Invictus in gamma.

@TheDragonfly256 We all just have to cross our fingers that A-life gets functional and hopefully better than ever, that is what to expect from a sequel to stalker

if you give that artifact to a scientist, he will pay almost double the price.

Gamma is a mod so its features aint missing

[@nib6383]

What mic do you use? Its the perfect level of quality where it sounds like youre speaking within a mask and makes for an immersive viewing experience for these stalker videos

[@h.st4hl]

@@nib6383 Thank you! Its Razer blackshark v2 pro ☢️

Is the quality of your voice recording a stylistic thing or are you using a crappy mic? lol. I kinda like how it sounds like you're coming in over a shitty radio, given this is Stalker.

[@h.st4hl]

@@phrozac The mic im using is built into a headset so not the best, i configured my mic until i liked it and im glad people appreciates it ☢️

Easy game, UE 5 kill the game...

[@h.st4hl]

@@Adri-gw9ym Stalker modders are dedicated, they will most probably work it out in UE5 ☢️I like the engine change so far, i have no technical insight tho.
