feels less like a STALKER game, and more like a modded Fallout 4 with Call of Duty-style cutscenes.

"We can't produce anything worse than (the first games). We can only do better"

lol

"Stalker 2 is a huge, seamless open world, consisting of 20 regions and each region has their own residents and architectures"

Probably bs, still hate it. That region isn't exactly known for its diverse architecture, or residents.

The quest walkthrough is essentially just some prime ****** with his ******* controller! dicking around in the swamp like a journo. Painful to watch. They are talking about different outcomes/approaches, but don't show them. Weird section to show off.

After that the mocap/cutscene part feels a bit tacked on. Like they are aware the quest walkthrough is pretty soulless and boring, but at least they want to remind people that its totally AAA, WE USE MOCAP!!

Devs are showing the swamplands because it's a barren location that has no NPCs. They are not yet confident enough to show NPC interactions even though the game supposedly comes out in like three months. That doesn't bode well.

Vavra probably has a ****-eating grin on his face knowing KCD2 will win goty by default.

And not a day after the walkthrough they post this update, guess you are right...

As more people and weapons filled these lands, the need to organize into groups and address diverse issues grew. Over the decades, local factions emerged, representing a formed, though always volatile, political system — each with its own ideology, lifestyle, and gear preferences.

Well, I am already sold after a couple indictors in the video.

1. Female Creative Director.
2. Make sure people see the game pad is used in the video.

Game is going to be awesome!


If a game isn't specifically designed by women and made for console, it isn't worth playing. :smug:

Not even sure what's worse. Playing any FPS with a ******* controller should result in capital punishment, but even designing one for a controller? Just disgusting

Women have no idea how to relate to war or a stalker-like situation. The chances of her coming up with compelling missions or storylines are nil.

It's Microsoft's fault. Their worthless Xbox taught a legion of young gamers that using a controller to play Elder Scrolls and Fallout and such was acceptable.
If it was just Playstation, we wouldn't have had several of the perversions of proper gaming that the Xbox promoted with their **** hardware. Playstation was going their own way.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.
If you can.

Try to be a better person next time, sweaty.

I believe they may think they are pioneering some next level tech here



They are spamming vids now, none showing any meaningful gameplay outside empty shooting arenas

What do you think the letters in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stand for?

Goddamn it, why the **** do I keep misspelling "think" as "thing?"
