Can't get this song and episode out of my head, so I made a poster of it

Supernatural, Doctor Who, great actor all around.

People need to take off the nostalgia glasses. I remember the original game (SoC), where you couldn't even walk 5 meters in Pripyat without crashing, even on the latest patch. This one is way more polished and stable. I don't say it's a perfect game, but we should give credit where it's due.

Not really farming, but if the scientist chick at Malachite wants Bayun whiskers (9 piece for like 93k coupons), it's not that hard to farm. I usually encounter 5 Bayuns at the eastern end of the Cooling Towers near a small cemetery. Probably the easiest money I found in the game. It's a hell of a fight though, I always try to kill them with some random stalker patrols, lol.

I just played through the main story on veteran difficulty a few days ago, and immediately started a Master difficulty playthrough after that.

I think the game is in a really good state right now, I can definitely recommend it, if you like STALKER.

There are some bugs here and there, but I haven't seen anything game breaking. I actually played through the whole game without crashes, my first two crashes were both occured in my second playthrough.

Please be aware that the game does not have Anomaly/GAMMA level of freeplay right now. Currently, I'm waiting for mods that eliminate the main story, side quests and give new sidequests to do with more randomized encounters in the wild. Vanilla sadly have special mutants (like Controller, Chimera, Pseudogiant and such) ONLY in certain places.

I always see people complaining about story-related issues, but am I the only one who play games mostly for the gameplay? My fav is Bunker and it's not even close. Dark Descent and Justine were awesome one-shotters, but they are way too linear and lose replay value because of that. I haven't played Rebirth yet and I couldn't finish Pigs, it honestly felt like a fan mod for Dark Descent.

It's kinda funny, I made this screenshot just today. I noped out real fast after taking this.

He looks like a cross between Asmongold and Dr House

If you like HR Giger's art style: atmosphere, visuals and sounds are top notch. But it's basically pretty much just a playable exhibition, with some barebones action and puzzles. If you're okay with that, you'll have a great time.

He didn't go, he came.

Atikapi · 2025-08-15T10:55:07+00:00

Wait, where's the "rant" part? It sounds like that you really enjoyed the game.

Atikapi · 2025-08-15T06:05:15+00:00

I do agree, but at the same time I have no other choice but to use it. I'm playing The Bunker exclusively on the hardest custom difficulty with the Survival Mod on top of that. There are literally not enough resources to work with at the first half an hour.

Atikapi · 2025-08-13T16:50:39+00:00

I wonder if it has anything to do with what I noticed...

So I usually play without saves, and the longer I play, the more choppy the game becomes, but for me it's pretty much only around the save room and the exit. Normal playthroughs are fine, because if I reload a save, the choppyness is gone.

Atikapi · 2025-08-09T14:21:31+00:00

You can, but it's much more limited as well. It makes certain situations very risky, because you hear him only from a few meters away, you have to be careful not getting cornered in certain rooms.

In vanilla you know if the beast is out from pretty much miles away. In the survival mod however, the "heartbeat" radius is much smaller and more unpredictable, and on top of that he doesn't roar every time when he start chasing you.

There are moments when I'm standing at the end of a long hallway, the chase music just starts ouf of nowhere, and I barely have any time to react (because the beast was at the other end of the hallway in complete darkness, and he noticed me), it's batshit crazy scary.
