S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Whoa, nice cutscene!

As I've said, making this political was a huge mistake on their part, alienating the vata fanbase (which is quite prominent).
Also the Eastern Yurop fanbase is quite prominent as well.
We love STALKER, though Clear Sky can go fuck itself, that piece of shit bugged out on me SO MANY times like crazy...

Clear Sky wasn't that bad if you play the series from start to finish.

My main gripe was that it was too short.

Clear Sky is shit apart from some cool setpieces and atmosphere.

better than CoP, though.

I'm in the minority, I know it, but I don't give a shit.

The Complete mod for all three STALKER games transformed them from ugly vanilla base games into an extremely atmospheric shooter with excellent visuals.

To everyone that bitches about Complete being too easy: max out the difficulty in the options menu and the game is definitely not easy at all.

Complete trumps all other mods in at least the graphics department, and I've played a good deal of other STALKER mods, including Misery for Pripyat, which IMO is really overrated.

Hopefully this won't be as broken as Redfall on release.

You're definitely in the minority, as you're the biggest retard in this thread. Not only that Complete ruins the balance and feel of vanilla game, it has bugs that were fixed by newer versions of ZRP, and it also introduced bugs of its own. It's the kind of mod that only a normie ignoramus would use because they know no better, which is not an excuse you can use, being on Codex of all places.

Complete doesn't even look that good compared to more modern mods. Playing complete in 2024 when radiophobia exist is nigger behavior.

Damn! I don't know what to think about this game until the reviews tell me what to think. Embargo's suck!

Embargo for "professional" reviews?! OH NO!

If it could be done and I were to make a decision, I would embargo gaming journalists for eternity.

Some people are already playing it on Xbox and they said it is good and works well (at least on Xbox). Apparently they were selling a physical copy of the game for Xbox and you could install that one and play it immediatelly.
But there is supposed to also be a day 1 patch with more improvements.

 

[Baron Dupek]

a lot of STALKERs reviews (most of them for ShoC) dropped recently - flooded my main yt page
interesting - and some of them even unmodded, no Complete, Radiophobia, nothing on their 1st playthrough
good for them

3x bruh moment with every line
calling Misery overrated (which is true) while praising Complete - which is also overrated, mostly by morons who recommend it for the 1st playthrough (these days they're replaced with dumbfucks spamming praises about Anomaly/Gamma - is pek irony

Those don't look worse than the ones KeighnMcDeath deal with daily.

 

[anvi]

Does it have any features over the previous games?

 

[Konjad]

 

[Stavrophore]

Anomaly with SSR is only lacking new models with updated geometry, otherwise it looks really good, but then again you look at some terrain, trees, wreck models, architecture and you are reminded that this is pretty low poly for 2024.

 

[ferratilis]

Top seller, despite there being no reviews or any kind of indication as to how optimized it is.

 

[Stavrophore]

6/10, Popamole incoming with poor ai and plastic/rigid feeling due to lack of significant physics engine, still better than Starfield im sure, solely because of setting and the fact you can't go lower with plot than starfield. Still, mediocre games sell well and plenty of people are fine with so called "good enough craftsmanship".

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I also expect cringe ukrop propaganda here and there.

Easter Eggs like mobik cube mutant.

 

[Echo Mirage]

The NDA for this game has to be backed by a promise of a swift and painful death if not even one reviewer is even willing to break it, even anonymously. Not one hint, or even one twatter post. Making me think that not even the reviews have actually played it yet.

 

[Fargus]

If you break NDA you gonna end up on myrotvorets.

 

[ferratilis]

It's ironic that such a website is called Peacemaker. Sounds kinda... Orwellian.

It looks like a Hitman kill list, with "liquidated" stamped on the dead person.

Which isn't unique to this. The only thing this really says is it's more popular than MS Flight Sim 2024 and maybe Farming Simulator 25. A non-indie new release not making the top sellers on Steam around release period (especially without a crowded release window) is a sign of a Concord level failure (for example, how Vielguard is already gone), but beating a bunch of old games isn't indicative of success (remember top sellers are by revenue. Selling 1 $60 copy counts more than selling 55 $1 copies).
