If it ever came out that ISP's were paying game devs to over-bloat the size of game files I wouldn't be surprised.

Other than that the patch seems okay. Bit surprised they added a quest for NVG's, but it's a nice bit of extra content. Still gonna hold off on replaying until early next year as recommended.

Haven't touched Stalker 2 since release, is it worth going back now or waiting until early next year?

Nah, I have been messing with it the last few days. I think its worse, or at least it is for me. The sluggish aiming is still a major issue for me, and I am getting more aggressive, but less often, FPS spikes. I honestly think this is the worst U5 engine game I have played, by a large margin. They need to stop adding shit and get in top of fixing this piece of shit, because even when I was getting a "stable" fps it was still plagued with issues.

Shame, such a great series of games to get dragged down like this.

The craziest thing to me about S2 was there not being a single new mutant besides some shitty deer enemy. Come the fuck on.

There's a shit ton of concept art for new mutants, but I guess they all got cut alongside everything else or never even made it to production.

Genuinely pathetic.
They gutted the ones they brought back as well, I remember poltergeists being able to detect and attack you even without any movement on your part and instead of throwing around physics objects in the world at you they'd just fucking pull out rubble from nowhere out of the ground and kill you with it. Flesh were also straight up suicidal instead of being the more passive mutants they're supposed to be. This was on release so I don't know if they adjusted any of their behaviour since then.

There were also those cuts that were cut out from Shadow of Chernobyl and now brought back here.

I decided to go through the Stalker 2 artbook and screenshot the concept art mutants:


Oi blyat, a fucking faggot!!!

Amazing, they're so unoriginal they rely off of everything that old GSC has done instead of coming up with something new.


Why not make the Tark a reality? You know, that mutant that was designed by fans for the Monster Ball contest back in 2003-2004 where it took second place, with the first place being taken by this very familiar concept?

Or, you know, copy the idea of holding a community contest for mutant designs, let your fans do your work for you.

It's fucking insane how talentless, unimaginative and generally useless nu-GSC is. They'd legit be more useful if they were drafted as meat fodder than they are as game devs, the only thing they have in common with the people that made Oblivion Lost is the studio name.
