Why is this game so bad?

[Kuruseida]

Dated graphics, clunky gameplay, no customization/women protagonist, the only good thingy seems to be the voice acting.

This game is not for everyone, i for one don't mind clunky games, as long as they're interesting to play and explore XD

The game leaves a lot to be desired. I bought it when it was first released in early access and had some fun with a friend, but he quickly got bored with the game as did I. You certainly nailed the clunky aspect (and this coming from someone whose favorite game is Fallout NV, which is at least in the top 10 of clunky games). The story as mentioned previously is decent though, but that clunky gameplay is just difficult to get around.

It also feels very...idk...tedious. As noted in some of the reviews, it's not that hard to find decent weapons, but crafting things like medpacks are next to impossible...of course that was when it was in early access. Idk if that has changed.

I like the enemies, but I wish there were more NPCs and perhaps more NPC vs. NPC interaction. Considering that this game borrowed so many elements from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I was surprised to see the lack of NPCs. You just have raiders and more heavily armed raiders...not much variety. Would have been nice to have some allied NPCs to help you out in certain locations.

It's not a bad game, but could certainly use some improvement.

weapon degradation sucks. That was not an element in stalker. and if it would have been, I would have been much less interested in it as a game.

Weapon degradation was an element in STALKER. Did you play Clear Sky?
