Stalker veteran who’s played the old games back then and recently on Xbox. This is truly a Stalker experience even with the bugs aka anomalies older players such as myself know all to well. Fallout 3 reference is very ironic with choices since some claim they were influenced by original Stalker since that came out a year earlier.
I too am loving S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 having pre-ordered the collector's edition on Xbox. I have not been disappointed in what I have experienced so far. I love the world, the realism, the choice for you to play and experience it your way. I will be spending many hours in Stalker 2's world and I can't wait to explore more 🙂
Really good review man. Deserves a lot more than 76 views. I'm loving it too. I played the hell out of the originals when I was younger and never found a game that scratched that same itch. Crazy people are saying it's a broken pos. As someone who's watched so many of my favorite franchises butched stalker 2 has been such a breath of fresh air to me.
My brotha I love the game as well but let’s not act like this game isn’t broken to pieces lol It’s not a pos in my opinion the idea is brilliant and the premis is stalker. Yet the janky nature of the controls and enemies spawning in instead of being already present is game breaking. Quest not activating and being unable to progress is game breaking experience. I understand what your saying but let’s not act like the game is perfect by any means
@live4christ295 Hey man I'm not saying it is perfect by any means. I've seen games launch in far worst states than this. Needs a lot of fixing no doubt. All I am saying is I have not experienced all these crazy bugs and crashes. I'm happy with what I have and am enjoying it. Very much looking forward to the mods for this game on the future as well.
I have 500+ hours on the OG series, about to put another 200+ on S2, there was no way this game wouldn't be fantastic with the blueprint they had to work with.
As a first timer to stalker I just now realized that I’ve spent years modding fallout to essentially be stalker. Needless to say I have become extremely fond of stalker 2
I think some of the voices likely change because when the Ukraine war started, they relocated and a lot of the actors had to be recast as a result. This is mentioned in their documentary. I'm loving it so far, but also anticipating the upcoming patches. Also, try single shot to save ammo/wear and tear on weapons, and try turning off the HUD crosshairs for more immersion!
for me the game of the year is definitely silent hill 2 but the STALKER2 is a very close competitor right in a second place, I dont't care about bugs to be honest because the most important aspect of this game meaning atmosphere is nailed perfectly and also I'm a bit of a fanboy of the old Stalkers from the 2006 so here you go
honestly compared to the previous stalker games this game doesnt feel as alive as the previous ones but with more updates it can def get a game of the year
That's the funny thing about games we really like. The more we like it and play it, the more we want from it. We live in a cool time where devs can keep developing their game after the initial release so who knows what they'll do with stalker. The mutants definitely need more versatility.
You probably already heard that, but i see you really appreciate a good immersion, and if you want to feel even more into the game, try to play with the Ukrainian language. It might be hard to read subtitles, and that's probably the only one downside. And hi from Ukraine, cool video, fair takes.
Hey, dude. been loving your channel since I found it, been enjoying your takes on games. Stalker 2 atmosphere looks amazing. Looks like metro exodus kinda. Anyways, 3rd ultimate review sounds good. I look forward to it. If it happens, cheers 👍
You can turn the hit markers on or off along with pretty much any reticle option you can think of. Have been really enjoying it. Those semi invisible mutants made me jump big time.
When they get A life 2.0 up and running properly this world will feel way more alive I promise. You will hear lots of gun fire all around you in the distance. See patrols and groups of stalkers roaming around more frequently. Mutant migrations the whole shebang.
Looking forward to jumping in after a few patches Can’t wait. You’re one of my favourite new reviewers. Thanks for the content . Just curious, are you playing on performance or quality?
I been play 50 hour whole week , and it’s still isn’t boring even close , side quests was amazing , crazy atmosphere, holly molly , who don’t play , try it STALKER , ZONE WAITING ON YOU ☢️
Oh dude wait til a-life comes into play. Those things regarding the world is gonna be cranked up to 10 and be truly amazing to just see that you are apart of the world not the world being apart of you.
Good monologue of your opinion on the game. I am absolutely enjoying it! I played the first three games, and while this one has its fair share of issues (that will no doubt be fixed), I've not run across too many of them. I, like you, am a console player. I've noticed in all of the videos I've watched on youtube, it seems like the majority of the people having serious game issues are the PC players. I don't think I've run into one game breaking issue yet. My experience with game "anomolies 😉" have been minor, like a sound glitch that cuts out for a split second, or a weird lightning effect on the wall or ground, that doesn't look quite right. I'm playing with the Ukrainian dialog, so it feels even more connected. The English diolog just feels "off". Overall, i can't get enough, and i know it's only going to get better. Haters will hate, fanboys will fanboy, and normies will norm. c'est la vie!
theres no "A Life" right now. the beautiful open world isn't being "lived in" by the NPC's like in previous stalker games. all they do is spawn 20 meters infront or behind you. the broken A Life is honestly worst case scenario for this game. not sure how anyone who've played the previous stalker games on PC are loving stalker 2. theres barely anything seperating this game from other bland open world FPS games right now. it feels more like a farcry/ubisoft game at the momment. without "A Life" you're only experiencing half of what stalker has to offer
this game looks like it was thrown together over a weekend with 15 year old asset packs, but somehow still would absolutely melt an rtx3070 on max graphics. world looks procedurally generated, character models look like they're from fallout 3, the only innovation is throwing bolts at antiquated distortion shaders. for the absolute life of me I don't understand the hype behind this game.

Great review.

This game is an easy GOTY for me
@@rollerr horrible taste
@Babagadouche117 you must need long cut scenes and qte's right? All ponies have to have that in a game..
@@G187-e3f nice cope. Never owned a GayStation. I need my games to be finished and not missing A-life at launch.

Horrible standard, you need to step it up.

3:50 For what it's worth, even on PC, Stalker is considered a hardcore FPS.

Excellent review, you should have more subs. You encapsulated the experience for me.

And hi from Ukraine, cool video, fair takes.
Love when you post about a game I'm playing. You just get it. Keep up the great work, you deserve way more subs 💪🏻
Hey, dude. been loving your channel since I found it, been enjoying your takes on games. Stalker 2 atmosphere looks amazing. Looks like metro exodus kinda. Anyways, 3rd ultimate review sounds good. I look forward to it. If it happens, cheers 👍
I love this old school style thats hard and scary no hok
Holding hands 😊

I play on PC as well, but they also sell those games on console now. Also, the other things you mentioned are also features in the console version.
I just mod the game and it's amazing now
Looking forward to jumping in after a few patches
Can’t wait.
You’re one of my favourite new reviewers. Thanks for the content .
Just curious, are you playing on performance or quality?
I'm playing on performance mode! And thank you for watching!
FYi: Game does break with the change of "game state" later in the story. So i'd recommend holding off the story until the patch later this week.
This game is the biggest surprise for me. It’s top 3, might even be GOTY for me
I been play 50 hour whole week , and it’s still isn’t boring even close , side quests was amazing , crazy atmosphere, holly molly , who don’t play , try it STALKER , ZONE WAITING ON YOU ☢️
Good video young fella. I watched all of that over dinner . Hope your channel grows, peace
Oh dude wait til a-life comes into play. Those things regarding the world is gonna be cranked up to 10 and be truly amazing to just see that you are apart of the world not the world being apart of you.
Don't finish it yet, just wait for the patches, there are problems ahead.
This game is fucking amazing. Even if it was only for the atmosphere

We love this game too, stalker
The game is perfect but I absolutely agree about the monsters)
you have the soul of a hardcore PC player, trapped in the body of casual console player. Just wait till you get to PC....
Hopefully you'll buy and try the classic stalker games. After that a PC and delve into the countless stalker mods! Have fun!
This game is amazing
