The game is too easy

[Bozz 💀]

I play on veteran and I really liked the first 10 hours because it was punishing and you actually feel like you need to survive in there, it was not easy, ammo was hard to come by and every location I was very cautious etc..

Now 25 hours later, I have thousands of ammo, over 200 bandages, 50 medikits tens of different guns, several different uniforms for if I feel like repairing them or not... I won't even tell you how much bread, sausages I have, those should at least expire at some point...

I mean there is like 0% survival after 15 hours.
It feels like wandaring simulator, I even open crates with my shotgun now xD

And people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about nerfing mutants, I mean once you get a better gun you kill bloodsuckers very easy.

Is this another of those "I don't have anything going for me irl so I have to prove my worth in a videogame" type posts ?

Now download Mysery mod or Anomaly and do the same

I'd rather have Bozz run around with his body armor and assault rifle in the game than outside

Shooting things and the whole survival aspcet gets a bit blurry later into the game. As long as you can reach your private box, all is well.

What I do to keep the thrill up - only go out at night (nightvision would be nice though -.-), pack very light (couple of bandages, medkits, only a few mags for each weapon). I also equip a sniper weapon and a shotgun - using the former always as initial weapon. That way I've to switch to the shotgun and get close. My oh-♥♥♥♥-button is my trusty revolver :) Everything with huge clips is easymode (assault rifles, Skifs pistole, SMGs).

RE difficulty - I'm using Stalker. Reducing the player damage is not what I have in mind when raising difficulty (nor is it more HP for enemies -.-). There should be better AI tactics then and other factors to pose a challenge (special munition, less effective healing).

Having said that - I really don't like what they've done to medkits. I can't quite put my finger on it yet - but they are the "all is well" card to pretty much any ♥♥♥♥♥♥ situation. And most of the game design seems to incorporate that. Want to fight a psi enemy? You have to rely on medkits to get closer. That one boar out of 5 swarming you rammed you into the ground? "Your health is gone -> but how about taking that medkit?"

There is easy difficulty for people like you, here we talk about harder difficulty so it may not be the place for you to come and talk as you don't seem to even understand the point.

I play games for the hardcore experiance, that is what I like, if you like playing on easy it's great for you but I don't care as you should stop caring about me wanting a harder game...

@zpc
I was thinking the exact same about the Medkits, I think if you start by nerfing them, maybe make them heal you slower like some HPs every second and you actually need to hide until it makes effect, would make the encounters harder.
Also give some side effects if you abuse them, make you very tired or whatever so you can't just abuse them 100 times in combat.

The journey from "i have nothing except this crappy shotgun" to "i have to store my surplus medkits because I have so many of them" is the normal Stalker experience. In the old games you were always mowing down an entire professional army at the end while bandaging and healing continously ;)

[A.L.E.X.]

The game is not "easy", it becomes easy and the balancing is wrong... early game many things are frustrating... it even makes you question things... then, as you said, late game it becomes easy....

I would prefer something in the middle both during early game and then mid game... then late game, it could be something much harder for sure.

This prety much lol

Mutants are only obstacles now. The patches have turned this game into Monster World: Zone Edition.

Now the toughest (or most annoying) enemies are those super troopers with the armor. Its taken another step in the direction of becoming a gerneric FPS where humans are the main threats.

Damn trolls, they do not even try.

I like the line with 200 bandages and 50 medkits. I can easily bring back from one trip 50 medkits and similar amount of bandages. My stash has 800 medkits and 800 bandagers but I have stopped putting them there ages ago. I just sell them to vendors for extra coupons.

The game balance sucks even on Stalker difficulty. I'm now at the stage of the game where even zombie can tank headshot and still shoot back. I'm not talking about armored monolothian, damn zombie that shuffles towards me with no cover on its head. The game is not difficult, it is just annoying and immersion breaking.

/facepalm

I hope they add something like a survival mode like fallout 4

Shut up dude, not eveyone is a no life like you who play games all day, this is a mass product meant to earn money, not please addicts. Or course everything is going to be easy when you play like there's nothing more interesting and important to do in life. These stupid threads on every games with "DuH bruuuu it's su izzy bru hummpf i'm suh guuud bro". You are ridiculous.

There is games like Far cry for you bro, or fortnite. Its pretty easy.

[Fight For Lewd Your mom]

The main difficulty of this game is how to survive with crappy equipment when the repair cost is higher than the highest pay job you can earn, the dev's idea with this game is to make the player's gun jam constantly, the amount of ammo that can be looted is ridiculously low and will run out of ammo at some point
imagine the cost of repairing your armor when it gets a little scratched is more than the pay of the job of you single handedly destroying an army of fully armed exskeleton armored soldiers that can destroy any faction they target

go play cooking mama, it fit you

Agreed 100% OP, starts off hard and then just gets to the point where it almost seems pointless picking up items and the survival aspect is gone. I had so much saved up stash I decided to just sell it made over 100k in sales in one go.
