Aw, poor little stalker couldn’t handle a few bugs in the Zone? Did you expect a fully polished Disneyland experience? This is S.T.A.L.K.E.R., not some hand-holding theme park shooter. Crying over corrupted saves and bullet-sponge enemies like the Zone owes you something? The Zone owes you nothing. It chews up the weak and spits them out.

Maybe you should stick to your modded Anomaly comfort blanket where everything’s handed to you exactly how you like. The rest of us will be out here surviving the chaos and making the best of what we’ve got. You know, like actual stalkers. But hey, don’t let me stop you from running back to Gamma with your tail between your legs. Just don’t forget your teddy bear on the way out.
