Nobody wants a stalker extraction shooter.
Or at least give it a coop so you can play the world with the factions with a buddy and survive and do missions together.

I've grown to loathe extraction shooters, because what they do is essentially reward you for spending as little time playing as possible. Making the optimal way to play extraction shooter to not play it at all.

That being said, back in the Stalker era games were mostly a single-player affair, with multiplayer being a side gimmick but never the main treat - my understanding Stalker 2 will follow suit. Post-launch support will be story expansions rather than live service.

Multiplayer is antithetic to Stalker's atmosphere and gameplay formula, so if you don't like their take on multiplayer you don't have to touch it. It's not a big deal if you don't. I recall playing the first game's multiplayer back when it released - it was a team deathmatch on Agroprom map, nothing to write home about and clearly an afterthought.

yeah but like extraction shooter mp would literally be the best type for a stalker game, it'd just make sense really.

although isn't the mp just gonna be deathmatch or has there been word on it somewhere?

Not everything needs online modes.

I would absolutely play an extraction-shooter MP mode over a co-op campaign.

Which isn't saying much, though, because I'm 99 % in this for the single-player experience. Multi-player is just a distant "Maybe I'll dabble in it at some point down the line" for me.

you're saying they won't have to redesign the entire game to make it playable in coop? you do realize coop games are built from the ground up around coop, right?

I'm sure it is "planned" but it's all just marketing to the kiddies who post non-stop in single player games, "but but is there PvP?"...

You start by saying that nobody wants it, and then you say "or at least give it a coop". I'm confused. Are you asking for the game to feature an extraction shooter mode or not?

I think stalker totally fits with extraction mechanics. I'd like to have an online mode like that.
TDM a DM are fossil game modes in 2024

That's right "...they won't have to redesign the entire game to make it playable in coop..." because they have already planned for the netcode and online engine for the PvP mode, right? So "redesign the entire game". No.

Sure, other SP games with coop have limitations, usually the host can only advance the story, the visitor is basically just a companion. There may also be a balance issue with more humans gunning, but can just add a few more mutants to the mob. Won't be a perfect experience, but the fun would be the shared experience.

Outward is a good example of a SP game with that sort of limited coop

Well, it depends on its quality and mechanics.
I would love open world servers with permanent progression but everyone starts with the same gear or same gear value. And with tarkov like permanent progression skills.

The extraction shooter is the best kind of shooter when done right.
Tarkov made it popular to slow down shooters while cod made it so fast it became a headache
