Thoughts?

[James™]

I'm almost done downloading and wondering from true stalker fans that have played all the originals, how does this one stack up?. I'm just a little worried they might've catered to gamma fans rather than the old-school.

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

seems fine so far.

just don't expect a GAMMA or an ANOMALY in this game.

[caducous]

they did the exact opposite of catering to gamma fans

Thoughts the atmosphere is there, i love fighting other humans when its in towns/villages.
The bad is paranomal stuff sucks, you have to play it a specific way or you die. I hate that kinda stuff, some love it.

Fighting humans with camo in a forest is not fun, they aim bad but omg those grenades never fail to land right on top of you.

Overall it's Stalker but with a better core, however far from what i would call a good game i honstely enjoyed Veilguard more then this... sad but true.

But Stalker got a charm and if you are really into this then maybe, i just wish they would have improved with some rpg elements like progression more then just gear so forth.

Had zero technical or performance issues with the game on the pass.

not gonna play it until I have a better GPU
all low
balanced upscaling
40-ish fps

so I can't really say anything about the gameplay or anything

I'm about 90 minutes into SHoC and, as a huge fan of the franchise, I love it so far.

It feels like exploring a brand new area in SCoP but with a bunch of high end graphics mods.

Nice, I thought gamma was alright just dint feel like stalker all that much.

So far so good. But cant find a way to rebind my keys. Oops found the way to rebind my keys.

Not good, refunded it. The older games were janky and buggy but feel smooth compared to this stuttery mess.

Not a hardware issue on my end as my PC is a beast that I develop games with on the same engine they're using.

Is the AI better or worse then the old games, old games actually had stalkers that listened to your footsteps and flanked/creeped up on you if they could.

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

So far, to me it seems improved.

The Ai will flank and *feels* far more intelligent in general.

don't forget,we only notice AI when it goes wrong. :)
