Be A STALKER; Accept, Adjust and Endure

[3/4 MILE, CALL THE BALL]

Having been in actual combat (14 times, in 3 global regions) the opportunity to develop yourself, through the game, is an often overlooked opportunity.

Why don't most players see games as a chance to "channel" the characters they portray in those games? It seems silly (hypocrisy?) to be a "bad *ss" in the game yet throw a tantrum in the forum.

I've played the series, and enjoyed each very much. I'm back for the "enhanced" editions.

But, unless I missed that side mission, there are no events where STALKERS have a fit

Quite the opposite. STALKERS are...
> Resilient. They live in a rough world and they accept it (at worst with brief sarcasm)
> Resourceful. Making the most of what they have (even when it's not what they want)
> Skilled. They survive in a harsh environment (e.g., controlling their own emotions)
> Cynical, yet Committed. They can be snarky but always focused on winning.

As players embrace those ^^^^ traits, consider...
+ We have a FREE edition & the original. Both great. Different but great. Yay diversity.
+ Enjoy both for its unique aspects (or stay with the one mirroring your "core-beliefs")
+ The Devs have given you a Leadership Test. Can you accomplish goals EVEN if the situation is not as you would prefer it to be? Again, it's FREE. They labored for FREE!

To be sure, in real combat operations there's ZERO tolerance of whining or griping or preaching. Why? Those get people killed. Truly dead. Not pretend dead. There are no "pause" buttons in real combat. No "saves". This mental state is not "blind obedience". It's Shared Purpose. Big difference. The game mimics that well.

The Devs have done an admirable job of emulating such behavior in the NPCs.
Leverage that. Be a STALKER. Radiate behavior as close to the ideal as you can.

In the long run you'll get farther in Life. (^.-)

Anyway... just food for thought as I was passing by.
History says, some will gripe regardless. Others will "wax poetic". C'est la vie. (^.^)

Me? I won't argue. You'll either get it or you won't.
I'm off to enjoy a great game.

Thanks Devs!

This is some next level cope, majority of people have an issue with this re-release for legitimate reasons, no one is crying or throwing a tantrum. You know you can't defend the devs actions so you insult gamers for having a normal response to downright ridiculous changes.

This is post to glorify your self. No one cares dude. The game has issues noted by the devs and they are working on it. Go find other forums where others will stroke your military ego.

The comments that say "cope", I wonder, cope with what? Like, no CNNP sing? Yeah, not a game changer. Has Lenin statue lost its head with the years? Yay! Awesome!! Blurry image? Luckily it's working great in my pc but for those with the problem, the fix is a change in the settings. No Russian language? Great, why the ♥♥♥♥ should I care? Ukrainian language is way more accurate. (actually, that change makes me more happy than a full collection of artefacts). So, super confused about idea that everyone should be whining like you.
Like, why should I start crying like child with you for getting an extra free game AND nothing taken away? lol There are some 5 years old who are more grounded than you.

To the OP: I'm sorry dude, I think you are expecting to much from them, don't you see the reason why they throw a tantrum is because they like to do it?
