Why didn't they add some basic bike to the game?

[Naus]

I swear guys, 25-30% of my playtime is traversing for kilometers with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of stuff across the map to nearest camp in order to sell them.

My dear Skif has leg day everyday, walking few kilometers a day with no less than 40-50kg in backpack, often closer to 130 or even 140 kg.

You think Tom Platz has big legs? Lol, move aside boi, here comes my Skif. Even to Mr Olympia he showed up in his 100kg backpack. I bet he would even pose with it.

There is a lot of stuff around the zone, there are fuel canisters there are technicans, I simply don't understand why don't they add simple bike to make game easier. And these f****** "mountain walls", I love the game, but I hate the guy from map design section who came with this stupid ass idea. You are 400 meters from point you are going to? Heh, here is mountain wall. It goes 800 meters to the left and another 1000 to the right. Because why not?

Really I understand this is post apo but having such a huge map and being able to only walk, WHEN WE KNOW THERE ARE IN GAME VEHICLES THAT WORK USED BY WARD, is just simply middle finger to player really.

what really is missing are more fast travel positions :D

What your looking for are MODs. Don't ask the DEVS to completely change up the pace that they intended for the game when you can easily do it. That's why mods exist, they want the game to be this way, and so do fans of STALKER because that's what it is.
If you don't like it you can change it.

get on a bike and ride off the road then come back and keep talking this garbage. it's so ridiculous the idea.... or look at the russians in the current war trying to get ahead on a bike WITHOUT EQUIPMENT and then imagine the whole thing with equipment. absolutely moronic.

Yeah very ridiculous. Have you heard of game called Days Gone? Maybe you didn't, it sold only 9 million copies after all. So let me tell you, this is post apo game where you pretty much offroad on bike 80% of your playtime. I would say it worked pretty well.:)

You call my argument moronic comparing literally fiction Stalker 2 to actual war.
Ok man.

Then go play days gone. Dont force your opinion down our troats. Its just not designed for a bike. While days gone was. Simple as that. Days gone is a good game. Go play that if you want that kind of thing. Nobody is stopping you.

I also think bike is a must have and i don't understand people who are against it

"bike are superfast it would be cheating"
- it don't need to be a superfast motorbike, just a 15% faster than walk bicycle would be cool

"the map arn't meant for bike"
- well we definitely didn't play the same game, there are road literally everywhere

"but you could crash into an anomaly"
- well, just like when you are walking in the game you can also end up in an anomaly, that's the game....

"it would be immersion breaking"
- that would be more immersive than having a mafical stash that get teleported in every base you are going anyways
-using thounsand of medikit after received 35 bullet in your body , a chemical anomaly shower, and radioactive cloud, is realist maybe !?
but riding a damn bicycle would be immersion breaking for you !? yeah ok

"i don't want to use bike anyways"
-then don't use them even if it would be added to the game, problem solved

"Bikes won't work as a lot of where we have to go, bikes just don't make sense. A swamp comes to mind."
- then go on road near the swamp, GET OFF your bike, explore the swamp at walk like usually and do your thing then you go back to the road, you get on your bike and continue your road ...

and guys don't be like stalker is a super hard survival game, after a few hour and equipements in the game, you pass all the anomalie like a child in a kindergarten
i just found 2 magical enemy an hour ago that i just one shooted with rocket
launcher lmfao ...
i still in the early game i have a good shootgun and a VS rifle and a decent armor XD
it's rainning medikit everywhere
but yeah having a damn bike in the game would be atragedy to you !
How can you complain a damn bike when you have instant fast travel between camp option in the game !? and then complain "a bike would be not good for exploration" yeah fast travel guide are good exploration and immersive !?

[Sparhawk122]

It would have made performance issues even worse.

[Chesty La'Rou]

Notwithstanding anything anyone has said.....

Vehicles really don't work. They had them in the first STALKER game, when the game was less open, had less anomolies, etc. and you'd still get launched off into nowhere'sville when something hit you. On top of you were guaranteed to drive into an anomaly which would either just flat kill you or do some crazy junk with the vehicle.

Also the other thing no one is thinking it seems.....they took it out because you literally could just "GTA" everything in the game so who cares about actual combat?

Edit: Plus I could almost guarantee they add some kind of repair cost if they did add it in and since I see around 80 to 90% people already claiming the repair system is unfair, I can't see this going over well.

Honestly the only plus I could see out of it is to laugh my butt off at a youtube video of someone doing a "Dave Mirra" off some big cliff and realizing he or she messed up and craters....

[lainiwaku]

you can't just say it wont work if you didn't tried, a bicycle wouldn't be superfast, you would see anomaly and slow down just like when you are sprinting, and yeah there is a risque to get killed in an anomaly...and that's totally normal !!!!
stalker 2 isn't stalker 1 also

Thing is, OP,
This is how it's always been as a STALKER game. So..
<shrug>

You can download STALKER: Lost Alpha (stand alone mod version of Shadow of Chernobyl, but lots of extra content)

It has vehicles in it, if that's what you want. Otherwise, it's pretty much how it's always been. You just use guides to fast travel around the main areas. Which is also how it's always been.

I can understand how you feel if you're coming at this as a new player to the game. But it's supposed to be an exclusion zone, where NOBODY is supposed to be there.. Because all the vehicles are cooking with radiation, and are nearly 40 years old... Ain't gonna get anything in the zone running. It's all dead.

Also, the Military do not allow vehicles in, other than those strictly permitted by the Authorities, why? Because they can't allow all the ground to be churned up.

Outer areas are dusted few inches deep with Caesium 137
Inner areas close to the Reactor #4 are heavily contaminated with Plutonium 239/240

I think the intention is to be as respectfully accurate to the real-life conditions as possible. If you look at the map, you'll see just how much attention to detail they have given the Zone. It's beautifully re-created, even though it contains an entire, decaying, cultural infrastructure.

You know, an entire cultural population was lost in that accident. Their history goes back centuries. Traditional celebrations were still practised that were hundreds of years old- but have since been lost forever...

Think about that while you're tearing up their gardens and villages.. heh

There is a guy named Kuzya selling a LADA in the game.
