Incredibly likely, but I'll still play it after it goes on sale for at least half-off a couple years down the line after release
>made in the middle of the voldemort punitive war
It won't be about the Zone. It'll be about fighting magic Russians with the power of friendship.
There's a 90% chance it will be clear sky tier, which is still gunna be the best open world game released in over one and a half decades sadly.
I liked clear sky
good news then
Literally impossible to produce that specific level or flavor of nearly game-breaking jank in this day and age.
Those barely working, glued together with spit and jizz fricking faction mechanics, or shit like enemy grenades landing literally on top of each other because they couldn't be half-assed to program it in any way that isn't enemies throwing the grenades literally at the exact spot the game calculates you're at are irreplicable now.
honestly even before Ukraine war I feared they'd simplify (streamline in dev lingo) it too much to appeal to a wider audience
imma wait for a year after release for all the kino mods
The only thing I didn't like about Clear Sky was the final boss and all the teleporting, wasn't done very well
Le blackpilled doomer in me recognizes that it'll at best have a rough launch and slowly get fixed with post launch patches and updates. The naive optimist in me tells me it will be the greatest RPG ever made, not just the magnum opus for the gaming industry, but for mankind.
No that's gonna be starfield
I think anyone who has seen the leaks can agree the only way it can suck is by being technical mess at launch, because content-wise it's the stalker every oldgay knows and loves
very likely
you mean like how the original was? i'll be happy the game just launches
Depends if Blackrock/Vanguard gets their hands on them or not. I expected it to have its standard euro jank until the war happened. All I can see now is shoehorned propaganda.
At launch? 95%, but the ratings might be saved by people taking a pity on the devs.
Real question is how moddable will the game be, OG stalker became so great becaues it was turned into open source project.
In natural slave style, its will be raped for all to use.
On the technical side it'll probably be fricked. I only hope the community that modded the original games for so long put out bugfixing shit for S2 when/if it comes out.
if it's gonna be buggy and unplayable, i'm gonna be happy. Buggy stalker means they were trying to punch above their weight class with convoluted game mechanisms and gameplay freedom, which is partially what made first stalker so good. What I'm afraid of is that it's gonna be released as polished AA/AAA, with limited and restricted gameplay, carefully designed, predictable combat sections, think of something closer to Metro. I want buggy mess, it's a natural result of somewhat unprofessional team trying to make something wonderful, and critical bugs will eventually be patched anyway.
Sometimes janky isn't always a result of ambition, it's just laziness or incompetence.
Yea, absolutely, but I think it's safe to say that original stalkers were closer to ambition+incompetence than to incompetence alone. Xray had some serious nerd shit in its mechanism, and if stalker2 will give up on this kind of approach in favor of polishing the game, I doubt it'll be hitting the right spots in eyes of stalker enthusiasts
I know they've said they want to achieve that feel for Stalker 2, but words are words. Gotta wait until real gameplay is shown, I don't want to judge some leaked build.
I've looked at leaked documentation and played leaked build. I really like the direction of the game in terms of atmosphere and story. The zone is fricking massive, with a lot of new locations and all of the old ones. A lot of features that were planned even for the original game and were cut are being implemented. Looks very good on paper but no Idea when it will be released for real. The game is too big.
Is it true that Ukrainiaks make better games than Russians
They certainly make more
They are literally the same people, but dont tell anyone.
Used to be, but don't tell anyone
Still is. Same genes, same language, same mentality.
Yes.
