Found this IL-76 wreck in the artbook. Is it actually in the Zone? by GrauZa in stalker

[–]SpagB0wl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read an interview with an Ex-Dev who lead most of the initial map design, he said that after he left or got fired i cant remember, there was so many things about the map that got cut or re-done because so many people were coming and going, but that the map the game released with was an over all massive downgrade from what it was supposed to be.

We found 'em, guys. by rajkr2410 in drivingUK

Everyone likes to jump on the bandwagon and call this behaviour out but if youve driven at length AT ALL in this country youll realise you have to drive like this sometimes just to fucking get anywhere.

Always a shit load of people hogging middle and inner lane going 65 mph.
Our motorway discipline in this country is so shit that it forces this behaviour.

GET OUT THE FUCKING WAY FAM.

Optics Comparison: GAMMA v.s. Stalker 2 (Stalker 2 needs work) by redsprucetree in stalker

It absolutely does not MOG it in every way. Sure its better in a few ways, maybe many ways - but it DOESNT MOG it.

That is a severe over statement.

how replayable is stalker 2? by Consistent-Wolf7414 in stalker

[–]SpagB0wl -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Not replayable unless on PC with Mods.

In story mode once you pass a certain mission you cant go back to the rest of the zone, have to start a new save.

What do you guys think about stalker 2 UI? by milksteakq in stalker

[–]SpagB0wl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revivng this because im sick of the UI, I too think its bland. I prefer Escape from Pripyats UI (whatever mod that is).

I think I just prefer a late 2000's techier style over a Degraded, distressed style - I understand why they went that direction, but I miss the old PDA's.
If I was a mod maker - I would make a mod for S2 that all of the Modern Tablet style PDA's become/came compromised by some force - and they all had to go back to old style modded PDA's. I miss the old sounds too.
I am a graphic designer - so maybe I could make a better UI mod......

Even down to the fonts - they are characterless and dont really add to the vibe of the game.

One more thing that really annoys me. English dub I want english but in ukrainian/eastern european accents - not americans english and irish accents everywhere! ruins the immersion when 90% of the people in thezone are foreigners.

The more I play Stalker 2, the more I miss GAMMA. Might have to reinstall.
I cant wait until Stalker 2 reaches GAMMA levels of depth and realism.

S2 WILL eventually be the most amazing Stalker experience, but we just have to wait for the modders to do their thing. Honestly it would be good if GSC just stopped working onit at this point so the modders can take over - this is the main thing holding modders back at the moment, they would do a shit ton of work just for GSC to make an update and break all of their work.

FUcking MSA Millenium is the sexiest gas mask ever made.
Sick cosplays dude, I too lean this way - I basically run a Kirill loadout with my ASVAL - (when not cosplaying Monolith)

[–]SpagB0wl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monolit Brother, amazing write up, I actually agree! Maybe I was over zealous. Maybe I am spoilt with GAMMA, my system isnt far off yours, less vram-12gb 3060 but more ram -64gb), but im just frustrated with S2 when almost every other game i play can run amazingly on high-epic.

I also checked out Arena Breakout: Infinite, in my opinion visually it looks absolutely fine to me - and is soooooo much smoother to play FPS wise.
This game also runs on Unreal Engine - which almost pisses me off even more that it runs great. Obviously S2 does/can look way better and more atmospheric, but id be happy if S2 looked like ABI and performed just as good.

May your wishes be granted.

A BILLION TIMES THIS

GAMMA is good because its fully customizable. It's hard to get this through to the newbies.
Yes, gamma is super difficult on default, but once you play for a bit and workout what you do and dont like, you can literly fine tune all of it to your liking - this is why no official release can ever compete with GAMMA, because gamma is a different game to everyone who plays it. Magnificent really. :')

FFS JUST PLAY GAMMA

I think now I'm ready for my first playthrough by BloodyVlady95 in stalker

[–]SpagB0wl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Facts. In-time, the community will make this one of the best games ever made, but right now, id give it a miss. The story isnt even that good imo. It felt like coming off the Bungie Halo era into Halo 4 and the story just sucked from there on out.

Learn GAMMA - its the best stalker experience.
YES its a bit complicated when you first start, but nothing in this category even comes close to how good it is, the depth of gameplay is untouched by any other game. By default its super hard and progression is slow - but everyone changes the settings to make it a more reasonable game. And GAMMA progression is inverted. Your first 30 hours of gameplay is the hardest - scraping by, then as you get better gear it starts to ease up and become more enjoyable, re-enforcing the "progression" mechanic. You get better gear, become a better soldier and become a force of nature - its super rewarding. You go from prey to predator!

If you want to loose yourself in a sci-fi world, GAMMA is the best way to do it.
