How does Stalker differ from the Far Crys? I never played the FCs.
Both are open world shooters with no player advancement except for gear, right? The FC games have a more comical style/setting and I'm guessing are much easier, what makes else makes them worse?
Metro has the Stalkerish atmosphere but plays like a linear CoD game, including Bioware style cinematics, couldn't stomach it myself, even though I really wanted to.
Did you even play STALKER? It's zone-world not open-world. FC series has crafting & unlockables along with grinding to obtain crafting materials and clearing repeatable sidequests/points of interest to unlock equipment.

It's zone-world because it's an old game, no? Was hard to just make everything one big map.
The zones are locked behind the main plot, but it's still pretty big to freely explore, don't think that warrants a distinction. Googling makes me think "zone-world" isn't even a thing.
So does metro 1 / 2 give you a freedom later? I played 1 a bit and it looked like all linear missions with plenty of cutscenes, when does it change?
Celebratory music:
Stalker was always overrated.
For atmosphere, ambition and visuals, sure. But CoP has one undeniable advantage - it has direction, choices and actions mattering and carefully simulated bandit behavior (they do infact loot stashes).I hope it will be more like SoC than CS or CoP.

Nice but not a single Cheeki Breeki in it. This fullfills all your Cheeki Breeki needs:

Yep, if 4A makes STALKER 2, it will be just Call of Duty open world edition like the Far cry games. Sure, it would be a beautiful and "authentic" looking game but the gameplay would be hot popamole garbage.Metro is a piece of shit precisely because the gameplay is mole-pop tier. Literally often almost comparable to whack-a-mole in depth, variables to manage etc.
It's a cool of dooty campaign with a more interesting story, setting and atmosphere.
I never understood how come people are so defensive over Stalker while Bethesda is literally the antichrist. The core concepts are exactly the same with a "mods will fix it" mentality. The two aren't too far apart yet Stalker is universally loved while Bethesda is almost universally hated. Why the double standards? I've always seen Stalker as a just okay game, never as the second coming of Christ as some treat it. The story, atmosphere and world are all quite good, but the poor quests and gameplay never made it a cohesive or enjoyable experience for me. Admittedly also the budget variance of these two are extremely far apart, but I don't see that as an universal excuse for any and all flaws that a game may have. Maybe I just don't look at Stalker via rose tinted goggles as I have never played it modded.
There is a game Bethesda was involved in that I prefer over any Stalker, and that is Fallout: New Vegas.
From what I remember the staff that founded 4A left before the first game was even finished.from the makers of STALKER!
