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.
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?
I have not, guessing it’s pretty good given it kinda spawned a genre.
I’ve seen both A Visitor to a Museum and Dead Man’s Letters but not Stalker itself. I’d guess both those movies were pretty heavily inspired by it.
I haven’t read it or watched Stalker, I would like read it after college lets out, if you want to put together a watch party for the movie I’d be down, pm me. Also by the by if you want somebody to chill and play games with sometimes hit me up, Ill figure smth out.
