it's just annoying
i pretty much gave up on Clear Sky because emptying 15 9x18mm rounds into someone should kill them but apparently not so in clear sky
There seems to be a bug that sometimes renders weapons ineffective. That's the only explanation I can think of.
STALKER 2 eh? Well, its about time. Hopefully GSC has their act together this time around and they won't have to delay the game for ~3 years.
By the way, since when did "going multiplatform" mean that they were going to dumb down the game? This is GSC we're talking about after all; they're not about to dumb down anything for anyone, as had been pretty well proven by Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.

Strange quirk in the X-Ray engine: During certain animations NPC's become nearly invincible to all damage save for head shots. This can be seen when bandits stagger for a moment after being shot sometimes. Also, shotguns seem to negate this quirk.
Guess I was right.

fuckin
how do you miss that glitch during development is my question
[QUOTE=thisispain;24057040]fuckin

Most likely the guy who worked on that section(s) of code got fired or left GSC before ShoC was released (During ShoC development GSC had an insane amount of employee turnover) and no one knew about it until after ShoC and CS were released. I've noticed it more in CS but I think that may have to do with the tweaked weapon damages compared to ShoC. At least in CoP they've managed to fix this from what I can tell.
[QUOTE=rakkar;24056377]It's more like: most console gamers that care about mods will get it for the pc instead.[/QUOTE]Well yeah no shit, but I wasn't talking about the ones that care.
So that's why they take so many shots to kill.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;24046553]I can't believe I'm saying this but I really wish a big name company would publish this game so it would get the production value and presentation it deserves.[/QUOTE]
As long as it wouldn't get "streamlined" I'm fine with this.
[QUOTE=Furioso;24049414]as far as i'm concerned:
best story = shadow of chernobyl
best atmosphere = clear sky
best gameplay (in terms of quests and exploration) = call of pripyat
now hopefully, that will all be combined with STALKER 2[/QUOTE]
Best atmosphere = SoC
Clear Sky had the best graphics though.

Or not would be lovely, they probably go and slap some DRM bullshit and start trying to get the other company into a cash cow phase, and start making DLC to sell that adds stuff to the game...Lets just stick with lower down companys.
[QUOTE=clanratc;24046571]Gonna be on CryEngine 3. Atleast that's what the RPS article says. Hopefully this means custom areas...

Discussed thousands of times, not true. As you saw. :P
[QUOTE=imaguy;24051688]Any intensity that mission had was pretty much ruined by that dude's atrocious voice acting[/QUOTE]
Play the Russian version if you know Russian, the voice acting is godly, you aren't stuck with a terrible mix of New yorker/Generic American Accents.

All in all, this has been planned for a long time but never offcially announced. GSC forums members, like Don Reba, already said Stalker 2 was in Development after COP Release in Russia along with a Console version. Aside from the slight change in plan, this is actually quite old news.
[QUOTE=imaguy;24053261]It was significantly buggy at first but its fixed now, so I'm chalking it up to typical bandwagoning[/QUOTE]
stalker isn't stalker without bugs anyway
All I want in STALKER 2 is an optimized engine, better storyline and less bugs.
OH, and synced reload animation sounds.
I want some better animations, the stuff they had back in 04 or 05 was brilliant especially the running animation.
Hell yes! Can't wait to get my hands on a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game! The PC version, naturally.
People need to stop fear-mongering about the game being multi-platform or raising the irrelevant argument that the game will look "different" because it will be on a new engine. The look of the game is dependent on the artists who create the scenery, characters, etc.
[QUOTE=acds;24055628]This "multiplatform" might not be a good idea. STALKER is somewhat of a niche game on the PC, if they consolize it they will lose the sales on the PC which will be more or less 95% of the sales.[/QUOTE]
PC will still make up the majority of the sales, because 1. I have my doubts the majority of console gamers will be interested in it or will just find it too challenging, or possibly because 2. Alot of the mechanics are implemented horribly on the consoles.
Also, I don't think they're gonna be concentrating on multiplayer, so I doubt that's going to change much.

Brilliant? Hardly. Have you actually played the 1935 version they released? The animations are eh. The knife is particularly bad.
Better fix them crashes.
YES! But please don't be dumbed down.

Third person animations for NPCs mainly like running walking etc. The crouch walk was really smooth too. I'll need to find the vid again.
The only thing I ever felt missing from STALKER was good multiplayer.
Pleeeeeeeease have good multiplayer.
It's in the News Node and everyone in the STALKER thread knows, this thread was pointless.
And shut up about the multi platform thing, they said it was CAPABLE of multi platform, not they they were actually going to do it. They may not do it because of programming reasons or some shit.

Hope they make this on a new engie *cof cof(metro 2033) cof cof*
Wasn't too big a fan of STALKER, game play was fun, but the atmosphere just made me want to pop a few depression pills after I got done playing.
Also X18 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;24064555]I prefer Fallout. :colbert:[/QUOTE]
They're not even the same type of game, also, why come into a thread about one game to talk about another>
I'm getting this on PC. You can't just play the first 3 games on PC and then randomly switch to a console. It is good for the console only gamers though, let's them see how awesome STALKER is.

Well said.
An addition I would make to the best gameplay would be: a better HUD and a better inventory menu.
[QUOTE=imaguy;24049498]Are you capable of making a post that isn't shitty?
Being the most polished game in the series doesn't mean shit if the game itself is three times as boring as the first two. The story was uninteresting, there were hardly any people to fight, and even the mutants posed no real danger.[/QUOTE]
Having an opinion /=/ making a shitty post.
I agree with him, CoP is the best in the series.
