80% of my game time is walking

am i playing this game wrong or the dev is just hate players

I know, it's ridiculous. That's what I'm using mods, the game would be insufferable without them.

Try some other more fast paced game, like fortnite

You can also run, and don't forget crouch walking.

What I like to do every morning, is turn on Stalker, put it on Veteran and crouch-jump.

Amazing exercise.

You're playing a survival FPS, not sure what you anticipated.

Technically, it would be near 100% since you're always moving your legs in the game by pressing WASD, or nudging an analog stick.

Serious question: what were you guys expecting since the previous games were already walking simulators, and that we knew that S2 would have a 64 sq.km map with no vehicles and very limited fast travel (e.g guides) ?
STALKER was always about the Zone (exploring it, dying in it, whatever). Fast travel isn't an option for that very reason (and wasn't either in the previous games), as it would defeat the point. On top of that, Skif already runs faster than Usain Bolt despite having dozens of kgs of gear on the back.

If people don't have patience, then vanilla STALKER experiences aren't for them.

A survival FPS doesn't have to be tedious and inconvenient.

That’s how all the other games played.

the previous game is good, 15 years ago, of course we are expecting more from a modern game, not just a remake

It is part of the Stalker experience.

I know, it sounds like I am coping, but it is true.

If you look at the life of a wanderer/scavanger you will find it is much the same.

Death Stranding, for instance, also has a ton of walking (at least in the beginning).

See this game more like that and less like Fallout 4 and you will understand the underlying design decisions better I think.

I do understand it is a game that might not be for all but if it where more "normal" then it would not be for fans of the original game.
