Anomaly and Gamma are great but not everyone can or will deal with mods In regards to the TV show/movie, i don't think anyone will care as long as they don't make it political or they butcher the lore like in the Fallout show

Even with all the bugs this game has, STALKER had been all time top 10 for me personally, try some of the mods

It physically and mentally hurts seeing how low you have yourcrosshair ....

Really i dont get how its more mainstream than the og games at all, if anything i think stuff like inevtory management and repair costs are harder, which i like for the record.

i stopped playing stalker to to go back to gamma

2:07 Preach brother i love it for that reason too. Instant subscription

If there are talks of making a show out of it, the game has reached “mainstreamdom” (just my opinion). Thanks to Microsoft a game previously virtually unknown outside of former Soviet block has become very popular. And with that comes its own set of problems. Like any potential follow up will probably suck. I haven’t played the original trilogy and playing this game on Xbox (bite me 😂) and I’m really enjoying it.

Tldw no

This is my first stalker game. Yes there is some jank but it drew me in. It’s better than fallout its better than starfield it’s better than dayz sorry. Those games pushed me away stalker sucked me in.

GAMMA is sooo good

What makes STALKER so great is precisely what *isn't* in it. It is a little jank and a little weird, but it is focused. Everything in the game is in service to atmosphere. GUn customization is limited and focused. You cant make any gun do any thing. You can make a gun better at the thing it's meant to do. You explore, and through exploration are reminded constantly that everything in the zone is dangerous. You are encouraged to avoid fights because your gear is fragile and your ammo is expensive. You frequently have to drop everything you're doing to respond to the Zones whims because the game is not about you. The game has a lot of issues. But it's still one of my favorite games I've played in years.

There is an old Movie with the zone, really interesting and weird but def not for everyone^^ . A show could be very good actually Ithink

Given that things like ANOMALY and GAMMA exist for those of us in the old-school STALKER crowd, I have no issue with the franchise as a whole being more mainstream. More fans = more profit for the dev team = higher chance of more and better STALKER games for all of us.

We need a Stalker anime 👌

keep crafting and skill trees out of my Stalker games, thank you

I think there is a new Metro in the works and I'm excited af

STALKER 2 is great and all but, SPACE MARINE 2 is most definitely the best game of 2024

Thank you for share. I go from 41 yo to 20 playing the new stalker, a real joy of life. Newbies don´t know nothing about the original stalker, and thats ok. Greetings from Argentina.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a game being "mainstream".

Ofc it is. Do many Americans was crying that they can't kill mobs with pistol shooting across the map, that GSC made shooting super easy, a lot more loot. Those fullscreen faces like in fallout... But all this is tolerable

It's definitely going main stream now. I never heard of the game until gamepass. As a fallout and Skyrim player. It's probably one of my top games. Being a console player. I don't know if previous titles were released on consoles, but with how good it is (beside the bugs at launch) it's a great console game. A top console game. You also have to remember PC has way more games then console. So yea, I just think people will either love it, or get frustrated and quit the game early.

It's kinda odd when people compare a game and a mod pack. The devs have no choice but to focus on the core game. The could have added all those nice features too but it would have come at the cost another few years of development and a much higher budget (which they didn't have). Without the game itself mods are pointless. They only exist because the game motivates people to play it and make it even better.

This game is not like other AAA games. Got it's issues but what doesn't nowadays. There's just something about stalker 2 that other games don't have

There already is a film of stalker decades ago (Russian) it’s on TH-cam and a book a roadside picnic.

14:00 that's the Dirge for the Planet melody, such a nostalgic song... it's played on repeat in Rostok near the bar and Duty base on the SOC game

the fake A-life where the game spawns two parties to fight each other bothers me the most

The way he went about going through the chemical anomaly. 😢

Stalker 2 is the best. I played gamma a lot but I don't want to be spending 5 hours just to fix my weapon. It's way too overtuned to become hardcore. Glad Stalker 2 didn't take that route and stayed true. We got mods for that.

There is a stalker movie... it's from the 80s or 90s and is Russian. It's just called Stalker. And is based on the book "Roadside Picnic"... the movie is based on the book, and the game is loosely based on the movie.

Stalker 2 becoming main stream worries me cause stalker 2 does not capture the actual full experience I am sorry to say.

Played metro 2033 today and yesterday. It was badass sorta like stalker

I have been loving stalker 2. It’s the only game I have played since it came out.

You missed a potential artifact in that acid anomaly after the bloodsucker

I have spent 160 hours in Stalker 2 so far and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! If you don't like it, that's your problem!

I started playing it around Christmas since it was on game pass, now i put around 100 hrs so far

By the way, S2: HoC is barely a AAA game, and that blows my mind. Considering they are also indie devs... They somehow had budget under $2 mil.

I am hardlocked out of progressing the main quest still.....I want to love this game but its just too broken

I agree, I believe the game isn't mainstream yet. This game has the potential to be something great, but it's clear it still needs A TON of work. I believe it needed at least 6 more months before it should have been released. It's such a shame games today come out in such broken and buggy states and people still eat it up.

There's certainly a place for mods like Anomaly, I've played a number of them over the years and enjoyed some of them a lot. But I also do not want the vanilla games to be turned into those modded versions. For me, Anomaly and Gamma get tedious after a while because I'm not interested in the level of survival & scavenging gameplay that they offer. I'm also heavily influenced by the Roadside Picnic novel and the pen & paper role-playing game derived from it where the emphasis is not on survival , but exploring. So yeah, the mods have there place and I will undoubtedly play some of them, but I also hope the vanilla games will not be changed to be more like those mods.

i just hated from the beginning that they use unreal engine 5 and did almost no raw improvization to this game, sure the game fantastic i love the athmosphere and animations but it really looks generic in a way, also feels like it lost its grittiness

It is becoming mainstream, but that comes with its own problems. I get it, devs have to get as much buyers as possible, so the game gets advertised to EVERYONE. But that is the biggest problem - suddenly there are suggestions for vehicle, people want a vehicle in the game. WTF??? OK, that isnt bad enough, how about people wanting a emission safe tent. WTF??? and even sleep matrace - why??? I know, devs need funds, but man, I really hope they dont listen to average Starfield player complaints/suggestions...

Happy 2025! First video of the year! Looking forward to some new stalker 2 content and possibly maybe return back to play Metro again or possibly try that Pioner game! Let me know what you're feeling down below!

where did you get that armor at 3:25? :)
