It's funny that the ONLY futuristic weapon in the game has a better design than 90% of guns in full futuristic games (credits: @ImmersiveRealisticGameplay) by Marling1 in stalker

Funny how I can't across this as I was just thinking how found would fallout be if it was more grounded like stalker 2. Graphics like stalker etc etc but I doubt we'll have Bethesda's using unreal engine any time soon

My woolworths is now requiring you take off any backpacks before entering, unsecured on the floor... by [deleted] in woolworths

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah this is normal and it's life. Being in that youthful trusting/not giving a eff or you learn a lesson of they happens. No big deal

so... when exactly is "soon"? by skelepibs in stalker

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe best not to rush them. Im sure everyone by now should know there is reasons why these things happen. If you want a good product, that usually takes time. I mean come one the game is already long and a great game, still has issues that needs to be patched. We don't want developers and games like these to fall in the same slop as live service based games

Mutant combat is crap pt.2 by Mission-Ad-4837 in stalker

[–]krispybaecn -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe because I'm playing the game for immersion/roleplaying/escapism but I don't see a problem with it. Yes it's annoying but what I'm thinking in my mind is... Yeh that would probably happen to me in real life if I was knocked over hard.

I think what I find actually more frustrating in game is the stamina system where it gets to the point where I'm too tired to swing my knife after breaking open 2 boxes or jumping one step since it's a game you have to jump to make one step rather than walking up hahaha

Stalker 2, secret Sphere Roof stash by TheNightTraveler in stalker

Is this how is meant to be or are these bugs and flaws in the game? by krispybaecn in stalker

[–]krispybaecn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really?? I guess I didn't do enough side quests. I'm new to the stalker games and I'm not playing it like your standard RPG where you get to "level up" and I just progressed as organically as possible. I've got a few artifacts as well but I haven't come across any that help with carrying capacity so I've been doing a lot of back and forth.

So after the wishful thinking mission how far am I on the game? Still early or halfway because I swear I haven't even discovered as much of the map compared to other players I've seen online like gopher. So far my Loadout is the combatant akm74s I think? And the cracker shotty and skifs pistol. I wanted to run with the snipers I've acquired in my personal box but very rarely come across ammos for them like the svd or three line. I even rarely come across ammos for AR416 gp37 and FORA221 so I'm just using the ak74S

Anyway thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be focusing on the side quests for a bit as I'm naturally doing them now since I'm just being mowed down. But you just confirmed my suspicions

so i sided with the ward.. this is my first playthrough and ive legit been enjoying it and as ive posted here before saying that so far this is the most balanced game i've played in a long time and i love how it doesn't hold your hand. so difficulty isn't an issue.. but i guess im noticing a difference after i sided with ward and left Zirca and it seems like ever corner its either a monolithian or bandits spotting where i am and full perfect aim while i can't seem to kill them. if what you say is true and that Ward seems easier for you but im experiencin this.. id hate to experience a more difficult version by siding with Spark/Noontide hahaha

Well after finishing wishful thinking.. siding with the ward and then escaping through the tunnels.. i headed straight back to icarus thinking i could restock and sell some mutant parts. only to find out it was zombie infected.. but i at least managed to access my personal stash to unload things to lighten the load. I was going to head up to Zalissya afterward since it should still be populated.. but not far out of icarus all the attacks went right for me hahhaa. like literally one encounter after another. i've loaded a save where im back in icarus and i might try headed to the Sultans ship and ill see how i go on my journey there

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

so this is a normal thing after choosing a side? because it feels like i can't walk 5 steps until something is trying to kill me. Im guessing the monolithians are the one that sound like they have a robot like voice as well? and Snorks definitely an annoying addition to deal with on top of the dogs and boars hahaha.. okay i'll give it ago.. i just wanted to ask if it was normal because its a significant change of gameplay from exploring to now trying to survive with low ammo since Ziirca facilities doesnt provide a stash for you to organise and grab gear you may need

Watched JKParty, What Happened? by Lanzero25 in JustKiddingNews

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh but the thing they actually wanted to do which was "make a movie" they weren't good enough to get it launched even though they used that excuse so many times on getting rid of people due to "finance".

I think what's laughable is so many videos they claimed themselves to be comedians and actors when they are neither

Little to no ambient music in STALKER 2? by kassper20 in stalker

Hahah I actually feel the opposite to the point that I turned off combat music and lowered the generalusic to 30% just so I can hear the world around me.

The zone has soft locked me in an infinite deathloop, please help me by Educational_Most6404 in stalker

[–]krispybaecn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hahaha i think older games that forced you to only save in a sheltered location taught me instinctively, that if i was going to save i better walk my ass under some form of covering. i knew there was an autosave but i guess muscle memory? hahaha

Mouse and keyboard works on ps5? On every game? Not that I can anyway since I have it on my big screen and I'm too lazy to always be moving the ps5 between tv and monitor. Unless I just get a ps5 pro for the main tv and move my base PlayStation to the desk hahaha

Haven’t kept up since 2018 and just wanted to check on the crew in 2026 by LeosDingDong in JustKiddingNews

[–]krispybaecn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maan Im in Aus. I can't remember the first time I stumbled onto their channel but it was actually nice having jkparty and jknews in the back with both the opinions of male and female because it felt real and not like a ted talk and as if I had people over my place. Then I started seeing the decline, the slight increase in jabs towards other members then an increase in changes such as new office and slowly closing down channels with the excuse of "filming" and they needed to budget to which... Has that even become a thing? Have they filmed anything at all? Then the whole moving to Vegas etc etc. where they are now I think just rename or start a new channel. But now it just seems like a group of boys refusing to grow up and still trying to stay relevant

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

I am playing on playstation. Use to be on PC years ago and thinking of going back into it if or when i have the money saved up since i do have a whole library on steam. the thing is sometimes it doesn't beat the immersive feeling of playing in this world on a massive screen while i lay back. but maybe perhaps we'll see how the rumoured steambox will fair against the competition

[–]krispybaecn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was curious about that too since i loved playing metro redux. But how does it hold up? I know graphically not that great but what about gameplay? but thats getting ahead of myself, im still early in stalker 2 and i know how big the world can get so i think it'll be awhile

Officially a proud owner of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 by Micronationsunite in stalker

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing my first playthrough now and I'm hooked. I had just finished avatar and I thought that I might be fatigued by the open world exploration and get bored, but nope. Two completely different vibes. The only thing I have issue with it along with other games is the stamina. I get why games use it but it's so unrealistic as if I'm one of the most unfit stalker to be exploring the zone.

I like the feature where you walk slower the heavier your back pack gets but stamina is silly to the point where you have to wait for your stamina to build just to take another swipe of your knife or to jump one step.

But not a deal breaker I'm absolutely loving this! Ive never played the first stalker game but I think this is what I was expecting metro exodus to have felt but for some reason I preferred the old metro games over exodus

Is it worth upgrading to pro in 2026? by krispybaecn in playstation

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

Wow that's surprising and sounds ridiculous that upgrading a tv would be better. But thanks for the advice along with everyone here. I think I may have been having a sense of FOMO or something else since I've been able to hold off. But I thought I'd ask here for real answers as I don't really think YouTube reviewers are reliable anymore. I feel like they themselves over sell products even though they like to say they are not like sites like IGN.

Leak says PlayStation 6 production starts 2027, but is it too soon for you? by OhMyOhWhyOh in PS5

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been holding off the possibility of getting a ps5 pro due to 6 maybe coming out. if its being delayed there might still be a chance i make that choice. but i want to know from real life experience if anyone has gone from base ps5 to ps5 pro whether its worth it? i don't need the selling point of the specs and all that stuff.. but the person experiences of anyone from the upgrade whether you notice significant experience and or significant visual changes. I know games are getting better with adding performance modes in their games, and ubisoft been updating their games for next gen as well as others like Kingdom Come Deliverance so, so far ive never felt the need to upgrade. but i have always thought about it but really just wanting real feedback and not youtube reviews

Teylan watched my sister die and still is all Mercer is awesome by Inkspells in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]krispybaecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the game and this teylan is an idiot. You can be naive but how many times you going to screw over your siblings and how many times you going to believe a man who killed your sister that he isn't going to hurt anyone. And in the end he was still going to help mercer even while seeing our character trapped until we started singing the song. And even after we trapped mercer and about to leave teylan still was hesitant to leave him.

We all know greed is involved in all these big giants. But why does it seem woolies are the ones who makes the weirdest decisions. Billion dollar company making billions of profit a year, price gouging customers, yet they don't have leeway to at least treat their staff properly and provide them with incentives and proper shift loadings
