In general, this is the kind of game that rewards patient, planned, tactical gameplay than fast-paced. I kind of enjoy spending like half a day in Rostok, maintaining my weapons, going over logistics, planning my route around the Zone, and then going around with binocs in hand and ready to observe, plan, and assault where I need to be.

@@JohnPeacekeeper I'm not sure if it really rewards it, because with enemies spawning in close range, a lot of it goes out of the window right away, but I do not want to argue against your way of playing, because I still think a game like this or many games become more enjoyable if you do that.

The game would be great if they worked on it and finished it instead of releasing a half assed game, to me its a way for then to be lazy and release the test version so we pay them to play instead of them paying people to test it before release.

Russian and Ukrainian are about as similar as German and Danish. Their lexical divergence is 41%, Ukrainian and Russian - 39%, with Ukrainian much closer to Polish, their divergence is 30%, and Russian to Bulgarian - 27%. The same percentage of discrepancy between Portuguese and French - 39%. Well, if we consider Portuguese and French as one people, then we can consider Ukrainians and Russians as one people. Besides Russians almost do not understand Ukrainian language, and Ukrainians 4 centuries were forced to learn Russian and killed for Ukrainian trying to make Ukrainians and Russians one people (alas to beat into the heads of the whole world that it is one people quite succeeded) A lot of historical facts read in books about Holodomor, where Russians starved to death more than 7 million Ukrainians, about the same number of Germans killed Jews, but alas Russians forgave everything because the winners do not judge. And now Russian propaganda has filled Europe and the USA, where all Slavs consider Russians (though on genes Russians in the majority Finno-Ugric and Turks, the Slavic gene in them not more than 15 %, yes you have understood correctly Finns who 300 years speak on the artificial language which has created 500 years ago).☹

You can lose health for bleeding or radiation - radiation builds up & your health starts to drop. Suggestion: Get the Buket-S2 (the named gun 'Spitter' is an S2). It shares ammo with the starting pistol, the lightest ammo in the game, and has stopping power (penetration + damage) on par with much later guns. Both that pistol & the sub-machine gun share the same silencer so you can get both silenced for stealth kills early on.

Here are some tips for players new to the game from an OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Ditch the sausages and canned food. They weigh more than bread and bread is good enough. Only use sausages/cans if you are sleep cycling for ammo/gear at vendors. Vodka is for bars, antirads is for stalkers. They weigh less, don't screen blur and have a faster animation. Your hotbar, unless you have mouse hotkeys, should be Q for medpacks, hold Q for bread, E for bandage and hold e for antirads. Always fix your gear before you go on a mission, when your gun is worn it will jam more. Swap the firing mode of your guns to single or burst, full auto rarely is better unless you know you are walking into a kill box and need to spray n pray. F5 before you enter a new mission, building or new village/camp and F5 after a fight. Always try to find cover, it will save on repair costs and plastic surgery. The auto peek around cover is pretty weird, step back from a wall and crouch-strafe to have better control.
