Game Ending Sucks

[CrashX]

Not the story but how they treat the player after, I got some sick gear in Red Fortress and X-7 and you can't even use any of it after. I understand the why behind it but they couldve had some kinda new game plus mode where I keep my gear but can continue exploring.

I think they should give players the option to explore the Zone after finishing the game.

How? The Zone is either gone, inaccessible or crawling with zombies after the story.

have NG+ keep your loot and start your search for Ghost and Fang find out what happened to Strelok before Skif had to kill him and what's next.

Guys, this is not that type of game where main quest takes a part in open world, it's open world built around it, like in previous stalkers.
Just wait for global mods, like "True Stalker", or for official A-Life 2.0 implementation with ng+ mod.

Neither X-7 nor Red Fortress give you anything amazing or anything that is actually unique, except for maybe Scar's gauss cannon and X-7 suit itself (which is good by body armor standards overall, but by all accounts inferior to Diamond exoskeleton that you can get even before Pripyat)

Colonel's LMG even though has some unique upgrades compared to regular one, but again, nothing crazy like Scar's cannon. Doctor's PM is... kinda cool with additional penetration power, but again, not something actually worthwhile. Degryarov's Dnipro is just Dnipro with regular upgrades and fixed scope.

Just go back to no-return point and call it a day, if you want EXPLORATION.

Play Anomaly or GAMMA, they are better optimized, gameplay is a lot more fun and have a lot less bugs than Stalker 2. Also you'll be able to keep exploring and doing things after the end.

I have probably close to 1000hours into GAMMA, and just found out a new major update just dropped so I will be doing exactly that until mods for Stalker 2 get good.
