Do you have hope for STALKER 2?

will it fall down the AAA slopslide and remove everything we liked about the previous games?

Why is there always a thread about this game? Is this the next astroturf?

My fear is that they dont add and explore enough new stuff for it to warrant it's own existence and that it's just stalker 1.1 in unreal engine and I just sit there with a feeling that I could have just played call of pripyat again with some graphical and weapon mods.

There's a woman in it.

cause it comes out in two weeks you dumb nigger

Which of the original games do you consider the most true to the formula?

100 rubbles was deposited to your account comrade

It's on goypass, it can only be shit.
Seriously, it's hard to remember if there was even a single new release in the years that I was subbed to this shit that wasn't a buggy fucking mess.

if you are excited for the game you are ukrainian

if you aren't you are russian

cant wait for 2 weeks of this

Endless threads for an unreleased game with zero hype is completely unnatural.

The threads just constantly hit bump limit because they just keep going all the way to bump limit once the retards arrive

not after today’s video

Yeah pretty much. goypozz slop

As far as I can tell the game looks solid.

If the main storyline is well written and the side-quests are good and interesting like the ones in CoP this game might be a real gem.

Gemmy

hope

What more fucking evidence do you subhuman retards need? Holy fuck you NPCs are beyond any reasoning. How lobotomised do you have to be to talk about "hope" when there's so much undeniable evidence that the game will be nothing like og STALKER? What not enough that MS basically dictates how the game is being made? MS is known for quality right? Not enough that its primarily made for Xbox? You faggots are such dumb, hopeless fucking animals, you're literally bipedal livestock.

Nobody cares about OG Stalker, we just want a cool apocalyptic scavenger game like Fallout

There are women in this thread right now reading your post

I honestly don't care anymore
I'm happy with my anomaly mods

It's gonna be fine.

any cool recs? just redownloaded the game

download anomaly stand alone

If it even is remotely like fallout 4 I’m not buying it and forgetting about the series entirely

it will probably be quite buggy

this hype for a game with no hype is weird guys...

i know a guy who does QA for it and while he hasn't said anything specific, from what he says, I'm expecting it to be pretty fucking buggy.

buggy mess

ya know that used to be every single game released prior to 2010

kino

I'm probably going to pirate it first. There is no hope of having an honest discussion about it and I'm not completely sold on it.

Have you played previous ones?
Whose WE?
Have you seen the trailers and gameplay?

It's not the question of if, it's how bad is it, because if you didn't do any of above mention it's obvious that it's this . Now to what degree that would be a question. Metro Is basically stalker experience if it were catered to consoles and made by people who kinda cared. This would be closer to that rather than old stalker, I don't even think there will be much open world if at all for some reason, I suppose the heavily scripted nature of what we saw is heavily implies that. Bottom line is, it will be a disappointment no matter what.

mods will fix it as usual. They don’t know how to make a game that isn’t jank

I only have a PS5 and a Series S. How bad will this be on Series S? Why is it not on PS5 day 1?

They have an exclusive deal with Microsoft.
It's probably gonna be fine on Series S seeing how they're probably building and optimizing it for consoles first this time around.

those little green chevrons tell me all i need to know.

When has a company being bought by Microsoft not lead to a let down in the last twenty years?

And why would this one break that trend?

What scares me is that this is gonna be on game pass day1. So far every other game thrown under that strategy has not been very good.

Its eurojank. It will be jank for obaervable future. I am going to spend 1k hours in it and praise it in every post despite it crashing ever 30 seconds and having hard-locking progression bugs.

Smth like metro exodus i think

i can't wait for the hard-locking progression bugs that you find an even worse bug to get around

What kind of woman would be interested in stalker?

Actually no idea. I've never seen a woman interested in this sort of aesthetic.

unironically this

I mean really yellow paint is all the warning sign you need... they tried making it look as gritty and dark as an UE possibly can look.. but it just looks so dull and streamlined and mediocre... it's not some hardcore RP slav life simulator cheeky breeky etc it's just another first person shooter "horror" with inventory management... i really really wanted to be hype for this game but none of the fuckin trailers have wow'd me.. maybe they just suck ass at making trailers and aren't showing the good stuff... idk

that's not in the game retard

Gameplay looks closer to Tarkov than to Stalker

My gut tells me it'll be at best a mediocre Metro Exodus with open world.
But my expectations are deeply biased by GAMMA autism so I guess I'm biased.

Disagree. Tarkov is way slower. I've never played EFT but played a bunch of Stalker (predominantly unmodded). Seen plenty of EFT though.

it was always pretty tactical, held down by the fact that there's actual AI.
it's going to be hard to show off whether the AI is as good as it was before, but we can see on release. not from reviews, of course.

It's a foregone conclusion ever since the M$ deal. Being a PC exclusive on a self-developed engine was a huge part of the original trilogy's uniqueness and charm. You can kiss goodbye to all of this with S2. Moreover, being associated with M$ inherently means quotas to be filled and restrictions in terms of content. So it's only reasonable to expect a run-of-the-mill UE5 console FPS with a "modern" aftertaste.

It looks good and seems to play well so as long as they've managed to capture the atmosphere of the originals it should be great. My PC isn't able to run it though I won't be playing it until next summer or something, at which point even a mediocre game will be worth the asking price.
