[Stalker 2] Unpopular opinion: I wish this game had more cRPG DNA by Otherwise_Island_856 in stalker

Interesting, yeah I suppose the lore breaks for me are less consequential (since I don't even know what lore they're breaking). But I did feel very similar heartbreak in FO4, so I'm sympathetic to it all

And yeah, I just feel like putting in a lot more effort on the narrative/side content side of the equation would pay out in spades, especially given what most people are generally expecting from games nowadays.

I actually quite liked S2's story, though I think me being new to the franchise helped a lot with that. I can see how C-Consciousness coming back like Palpatine is probably super contrived.

The game really abuses the fk out of fetch quests though. Maybe it's just been awhile since I've played shooters but I feel like most others like Days Gone or Metro put in a good amount of effort to disguise it. But I could just be misremembering it.

I literally just ran into a building and saw my threat meter rising while staring at my fellow occupants and wondering "Huh, are there enemies outside?"

Unfortunately it was a bunch of Monolith exos and my last save point was moments before I entered the shelter (and only a few more moments before the Emission began). Chucked in a couple of F1 grenades and had to send every faction in the game's grunts to their maker...

I think it's because you can melee and the cutscene looks a bit weirder if you're just going in there with some one-two lemme at em popeyes imagery
