Is it Military NPCs after 6:20?

They gave the player character a voice. He sounds like Jason Brody from Far Cry 3.

Yeah I don't like that. I will be playing it in Ukrainian so at least I won't know if the voice acting is bad or not.

Game of the year

I can't believe I missed this. It's worse than I could have ever imagined.

This is the anti-thesis of what made S.T.A.L.K.E.R great. It has to be some kind of joke, there's no other way to put it. How can anyone who played those games think for a second that this will hold up? It's not even close. It can't possibly be.

They took the worst design trend of the last 2 decades, which has almost single handedly ruined exploration and immersion in games, and they dressed it up as an old familiar friend who was once king at those things. Fuck this game and fuck you if you already bought it.

Now be a good little dog and follow that marker from A to B to get your treat. That's a good little dog!

 

[Drakortha]

I petition to have the thread title changed to S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Dopamine Edition

follow up ideas;

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: ADHD Edition
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Zoomer Edition
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Retadred Edition
Skyrim 2

Gotta have some concessions for the console crowd I guess. But they said all the handholding stuff can be turned off.

 

[Tacgnol]

Nice to actually get some impressions from a fan of the series rather than some IGN retard.

Seems like that guy liked what he saw for the most part.

Yeah but you can't turn off all the game and quest design that was done knowing that this was on by default.

 

[NecroLord]

Also a reminder that the original STALKER games were only for the PC Master Race.

As much as I'd like that to be the case, no. GSC has a new target audience, one that never complains and slurps any slop that they are served with:

Quest log:
- Use Stalker senses to find a ladder
- Go downstairs using the ladder(the yellow one).

After ultima underworld and before console decline, most PC fps used minimap or have no navigation tools. Compasses are provided for retarded people who are unable to read map and make routes.

The dungeon maps in Daggerfall hardly ever helped you.
I don't remember ever using it.
Back then you had to actually learn the layout of the dungeons and try to navigate them.
Good times.

This motherfucker survived three emissions, Lebedev was right about him.

 

[NecroLord]

What about Degtyarev and Strelok?
Will they also appear?

He doesn't appear to be right in the head department.

The fact that they had chosen nighttime as their gameplay showcase for gamescon is pretty worrying. A lot of detail, not only graphical detail[the demo looks unimpressive, but its console+vid compression], but AI movement and animations can't be really seen. IMHO i don't have high hopes for this, and i don't think even patches will help. We will see though.

Looks like a tech demo

Strelok was mentioned in the leaks, and now his voice actor is on the game's IMDB page.

 

[BadassNonbinaryPrincess]

What's the news on this? Any good? Any new features over previous games?

 

[ArchAngel]

What's the news on this? Any good? Any new features over previous games?

Less features, better graphics.

 

[NecroLord]

Yeah.
Turning it into Metro...

NOOOOOO I HATE THOSE SHITTY GAMES. I only liked the exploration/sandbox of stalker. The setting is not interesting if you are on rails doing some retarded story
