Hey everyone. Hope you all had a good week and relaxing weekend. I actually didn’t game much this weekend as I was preparing to move apartments and also went on a weekend trip with friends, but I did squeeze in some Xcom 2 today. Hope everyone has a productive week.
Just installed STALKER Gamma the other day, doing a one life play through as my first
You’re hardcore
Thx 😁 I really got into Stalker when Stalker 2 came out (I saved gift card money to be able to afford it) and my love for the setting keeps on growing. Whats your history with the game?
GAMMA was my first Stalker game. I’ve spent probably a hundred hours in it and would still only consider myself a beginner. Stalker 2 was such a let down coming out of GAMMA, I un-installed 2 after maybe 10 hours and immediately reinstalled GAMMA.
Thats fair, at release 2 was pretty rough but its gotten significantly better, and will continue to do so. What specifically didnt you like about it?
I think the gunsmithing, crafting, base building, scarcity, and survival elements are what sets GAMMA apart. The Zone feels a lot more alive and punishing.
I love the setting and atmosphere too, I just think GAMMA does it so much better.
Thats fair I feel like progressing in Gamma will be way way harder than in Stalker 2. Also, have you read Roadside picnic the old Soviet boom Stalker was based on?
