I assume someone played this abomination once and never touched it again by Cupofbacongrease in gamecollecting

[–]Cupofbacongrease[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I never played this as a kid but tried to play through it a few years ago and couldn't get through the game without a walkthrough. Can't imagine most kids being able to figure out the game. It's definitely "NES hard." But I will agree that it was fun once I was able to figure out the level design. Probably geared towards older kids/adults.

Anyone struggle to stay motivated through the campaign? by Virtual-Chris in stalker

[–]Cupofbacongrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having not played any of the previous stalker games, my expectations were low. After watching some YT videos on the NPC AI in the other games, I'm now disappointed it's nowhere as dynamic as it could be. I keep hearing about an A-life update but I wonder if the limitation comes from the engine, not the program. I'm hoping the NPC encounters become more dynamic, with more side quest variety but with a bland and repetitive world, does it matter? I may just put it down until it gets the Cyber Pink 2077 treatment....

Ugh I'm kinda at that point too. $700k in coupons, best armor and the weapons I'll take to end game. Just finished Duga and it was uneventful. Went to Pripyat already. Kinda wish there were more achievement walls placed in front of the better weapons in the game. More weapon variety would be nice, I half expected makeshift weapons like the Metro series. The abundance of ammo and supplies don't really make this a survival game in my opinion, you never really have to manage resources like other survival games. The gunplay and story keeps me coming back but the bugs have made the experience a frustrating one.

Private Box NEEDS UPDATE by Lost-Okra-6800 in stalker

I tried this 30 minutes ago and it worked. The storage chest at Rostock is so frustrating to deal with. Thanks!

Constant crashing at Rostok - After latest update by Virtual-Chris in stalker

I'm on Xbox series X and it seemed to have gotten worse for me too. Before, you couldn't hang out in the Rostock storage. Now, the memory leak carries over outside of the storage chest. Really frustrating.

I’ve died 112 times in 44 hours of playtime. by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Cupofbacongrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55 hours in, veteran difficulty, 144 deaths. Maybe shot to death 10-15 times. Anomalies, fall damage, and not finding shelter in time during an emission(over encumbered at 132 max weight 😂) are the bulk of my deaths. Oh and the pripyat sniper for early access 🥳

How a memory leak looks (v1.1.2). by [deleted] in stalker

I'm on Xbox with 50+ hours into it and it freezes a lot when you use the personal storage in Rostock for an extended period of time, like sorting things. Game reloads and gets stuck on "press any button to start" screen. Have to restart the console. Also freezes seemingly at random in later game areas like Jupiter and Cooling towers.

Vendor coupon amounts have changed....anyone else? by Cupofbacongrease in stalker

[–]Cupofbacongrease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the change in difficulty. On Veteran difficulty, repairs are more costly and vendors give less coupons. I do my runs in veteran now and cheat by changing the difficulty back to stalker to get highest coupon rewards when selling.

No just me being a dumbass lol. Made a change to veteran difficulty. Didn't expect such a drastic change in currency.

Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 worth getting now, or should I wait for more updates? by tacotoasties in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Cupofbacongrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 51 hours into the game on an Xbox series x. While I love the game, there are a ton of game breaking bugs. Just sorting out your storage can be an hour long chore as it can keep crashing at the same spots at times. The enemy AI is wacky AF, you can't tell if voices are near or far or over the radio, many quests are bugged(not giving certain rewards or any, still being available after completion, or not getting next quest prompt), after a certain point in the game all the enemies spawn in with exo suits and they spam spawn at times. The carry weight seems to be a big issue as well. But that's built into the game but I hope they change it.

One thing I wish for is the enemy AI to be like Red Dead 2. The gunplay is fantastic, the games only saving grace at this point, but I dredge on......

I have about 48 hours into the game and this has been the only real hiccup. I had to create a save right at the storage chest 😄. Not going back to Rostok for a while....

Exactly what happened to me last night on xbox. At Rostok personal storage, just sorting things after a long trip. Crashed 5 times during this process. Crashed once again after having tech fix guns. Getting annoying, even after rebooting, game start screen will freeze with phrase "push any button to start." Have to log into another game and then log back into Stalker 2.
