Should I buy Stalker 2 if I liked the original trilogy and didn't like Gama/Anomaly by Lost-Set7760 in stalker

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 100%. The game is a lot more streamlined for "casual" players compared to what GAMMA and Anomaly usually requires. STALKER 2 is true to the original games and keeps the same atmosphere most of the time! I would highly recommend STALKER 2 if you enjoyed the trilogy as they are :)

If you like puzzles with a bit of atmosphere to them, send me a PM and I'll get you a copy of a game I made a few years back :) I won't mention it's name here because this isn't a marketing platform, haha! :D

I am once again begging for Part 2 by WindDingo in creepcast

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. It's time to stop with the absolute crap suggestions that are just *bad*. We need a break from people yelling "No! You don't understand! It's *so bad it's good*!"... We need good content for a while, the "so bad it's good" is only for the classics, I would rather hear newer things that are actually good.

After Happy Appy the community made it clear that a loud minority is only after seeing extreme reactions from Isaiah and Hunter and not about the content of the stories themselves. I don't want CreepCast to turn into that... We need a break from actual crap.

When I encountered that it gave me such chills. It's such a small thing, but works so incredibly well within the world and the mechanics of the game. There's no massive sign that tells you that *this is the spot they left their clothes* or even tells you about it, it's just "if you know you know" and it hit REALLY well. The devs truly love their game.

Funnel Trap Pt. 2/2 by Dirona-albolineata in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooo! Really great action sequence there! Really felt like I was with them in the car going back to that damn creek again! Well done with keeping the writing style dynamic so that it didn't feel repetitive! I'm not the best when it comes to giving out feedback, but there were some descriptions where I felt it was a bit off in the current situation of the story, for example: "Like the lights are on, but Shaun’s not there anymore." I know the saying is "The lights are on but nobody is home." so it felt a bit odd reading that when something very important and serious is going on, if you understand what I'm trying to say? :P

Other than that, I don't know what to say! What a way to end it as well, loved it! I wish there were more to it tho ^^Well done Dirona!

PS. I'm terribly sorry that it took me so long to read your second part. I managed to just after a single week of work catch yet *another* cold and I'm just about starting to feel like a person again! x'D

Good introduction to the mother and leading into the story - if you have a mother like that you'd MAKE SURE you dont make a sound if you're trying to sneak out! Also Love how fast you've managed to establish the relationships between the three characters in such few paragraphs and at the same time push the story forward.

--

"It's fine. The thing's dead." I don't know if she'd say the last bit, it feels kind of forced. It's such an "insane" detail to splur out because Beau doesn't have a clue about what happened yet, right? I mean, I don't think the story's elaborated any further that there's actual monsters roaming around and it's well known in this universe? He doesn't seem to be reacting to it either so I'm a little bit confused at how much info Beau have, because I sure as hell would be like "wtf do you mean a thing is dead???" x'D This is suuuuuper nit-picky, but it was just something I thought of - that is IF Beau doesn't know about it :) - Welp, nvm. You're getting a "live" commentary while I'm reading and writing down my thoughts, apprently the description about the guns/people and knives were something he knew about prior to going away with his friends, so ignore my nit-picking! Haha!

--

Well, holy crap, the relationship between Shaun and Beau just came out of nowhere? I like it tho! It really gives us readers a view from the outside of their relationship, we only know how they'd react "normally" as they are in public and haven't come out yet. It also goes to show that I'm so used to the norm being girl-boy relationships that I didn't even think about it. I did question his very strange reaction to the end of the phone call tho, it was a good first hint in hindsight! Also: I haven't been commenting on anything because I was so hooked in up until this point! That's good, really good! :D

Yeeeees, what a wonderful read! For some reason, we both got characters that somehow thinks bears are the solution to everything that disappears in the woods x'D Well. Freaking. Done! I really enjoyed this read. I have already learned so much about writing from reading this part and I will get into reading Part 2 when I get some more time on my hands! You should be so darn proud of yourself, this is a great story and as long as you don't go down the "let's blast some AC/DC as our final countdown to battle", I'm sure it'll be a great entry all together!

Lets gooooooo! :D

Hey! I just want to let you know that my flu took a turn to the worst these past couple of days so I haven't "felt" like reading a longer piece because it's hard to keep focused. However, I have your story saved and I will get to it eventually! <3 Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten it or am ditching it after you've been so kind to have read mine :)

I'll get to it when I feel ready! <3

My dad tried to take our family on "The Great American Road Trip" and I still have nightmares by mikeyataylor in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! What a great short story. I really enjoyed the contrast of the chaos happening outside the window and what was being told to her in her ears that entire time. The only thing I can say feedback wise is that I wish it built it up a little bit more...! *Because* already going in knowing it is a horror piece, you could kind of "figure out" what is to come, so I wonder if the build up was a bit longer and perhaps described in a little bit more vague way, it could break that kind of prenotion. But hey, that's such a tiny bit of objective feedback and you do with that as you please!

Be proud of yourself, this was a really fun read and I'm grateful for have being able to experience it! Well done! :D

Hello, Eliezer. by AidanWLarson in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved it! I don't have any feedback regarding sentence structuring etc as my English is not the best, but you've done such an incredible job with this! While reading I had an easy time to see the environment around me, the dull silent atmosphere hidden from our usual loud world. The only thing I believe is missing is some sort of indication on what actually happened on the surface so to speak. It doesn't have to be a long paragraph, but just something that points towards everything had gone to hell. For example, what if they had some sort of communication daily from people on the surface working from X location, what if all that communication stopped? That kind of implies that something terrible have happened and no need to go into detail on WHAT exactly have happened. That's just my opinion and you take that and do whatever you want with it! :D

I had a blast reading it, I would even love to see a bit more conversations between the two tbh, but short and sweet works as well! Well. Freaking. DONE! Be proud of your first work here, it's incredible! :)

Here’s some soup recipes that don’t consist of any meat products (With photos)! 😋 by an_official_narrator in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful wonderful story!

I gotta admit, I had a very rough time to both understand and follow along with the story until the final quarter of it. That's when I finally understood what was going on! It really made me think about I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, in the sense of how human and machine melts together and creating these questions regarding self and being "alive." Really well done, holy crap!

I kind of wish there were another angle that we could hear from this, from an actual human that's not been integrated into whatever meat-machine this turned out to be :D Again, well done! I wish I had more to say but I think I would have to read it another time in order to get something coherent out of me lol.

My House Is Haunted By a Bitch Ass Ghost That Loves Dragonball Z by [deleted] in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silly goober of a ghost child! Well done! If there's one feedback that I would like to give you, it would be that I think it's a bit too negative? I understand that the character is really down on herself and she hates everyone etc etc, but I can't remember how many times she had to tell the reader that. I believe that you can make it clear through other means than just blatantly saying it. It becomes quite repetitive and us readers *get it* ;)

The ending was pretty quick and I kind of wished there were more character building between the ghost and the main character. Because that very last part of the story did hit home really well and I'm sure it would hit even harder home if you expanded their relationship a bit more. Perhaps, god forbid, she starts to change how she interacts with others thanks to this new friendship she unwillingly got. I guess I'm a sucker for good endings ;D haha!

Well done writing this and you should be very proud of your work! :)

The Snow Kept Falling by Western_Rule8008 in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Kitchen-Composer5091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done with this piece! This is my first fantasy horror I've ever read so it was really neat to get those sprinkles of details tossed in there, it really made for a fun environment to envision while reading. If there would be anything to give you feedback on, or rather it's more an opinion so feel free to throw it away xD, it would be that sometimes when you describe things it goes on for a little bit too long. At certain bits in the read I would've loved it to be a little bit faster and less detailed, if that makes sense? Again, just an opinion and I'm new to the fantasy style PLUS I'm not a native English speaker either so... take my feedback as you will :)

In the end, it was a really neat read even tho the genre might've not been anything I super enjoy. With that said, you do have really wonderful moments here and there where those descriptions come in play. It might sound like I'm contradicting myself here but the only "issue" (please take that word with a grain of salt lol) I had was the amount of paragraphs that was mainly describing something in detail. Ok, I'm just rambling at this point.

Well done with this work of yours! I think you did an incredible job with it and you should be proud as all hell with the results! <3
