Players down to 9,536 on Steam + reviews are now Mixed.

Nostalgia can't keep up those numbers for long, I guess... Especially when TRULY good games like KCD2 appear.


Recent reviews are mixed, it's still at 82%/positive overall.

Kinda surprised they've been so quiet on the update front.

Makes sense, I guess.

There's still a ton of things to fix. Or should I say... properly implement.

So I have played through it now.

Its clear the main focus was the huge map, visuals and the motioncapture story.

Lightning (or lack of) is so bad. Some areas are completely dark. Other areas have sunlight clipping through the walls where it makes no sense.
Enemy AI aimbot. One time I had a rifle that could not reach the enemy because of the distance, yet the fucker could hit me with all pellets from a shotgun.
Huge empty map - especially the last part of the game. And you use at least 60% of the game time walking or short running from quest to quest. Then back again. There is the same sausage, can of food and water in every crate og stash everywhere in the game.
Every intersection in the road has copy/paste anomalys.
Late game every NPC and their mother has full exoskeloton armor, even in the newbie town.
Enemy still spawn around you random - one the last missions the enemy spawn directly infront of you - And this is not the "ghost spawns" that you cant loot. Zombies without armor sometimes takes 8-10 headshots.

And that is not even counting the still 100s of bugs. Sidequest you cant complete.

I modded out the repair shit. Fuck that. More stamina for alle the running.

I did like the story - but I am very easy to please in that regard.

If you have not played this yet. At least wait a year or until some full overhaul mods looks ready.

That's not a patch, it's a whole game ! Laughing


S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2.Heart.of.Chornobyl.v1.2-RUNE


Quote:

NOTES: Due to the amount of changes to the game files and an update
being greater than half the size of our last release, we decided
to make a new standalone. This release includes the following DLC:

> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Ultimate Content
> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Season Pass
> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Pre-order Bonus
> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - OST and Artbook

The game is updated to v1.2. For more info on what is new see the
following link. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320


General Notes:

- Block the game's exe in your firewall to prevent the game from
trying to go online ..
- If you install games to your system drive, it may be necessary
to run this game with admin privileges instead

Player numbers still low.

We'll see this week-end but... people will tolerate less and less unfinished half-assed games. And when you need 112 GB patches only to fix SOME aspects of the game... eh...

Not good.

We've fixed 1700 bugs!*
*out of 20k

I wonder if A-life will ever be fully implemented without crippling the already dodgy performance, there are likely some engine-related constraints in place that are tricky to overcome without resorting to the simple radius-based spawning à la Far Cry. It's wise to let this marinate at least until meaningful advancements are introduced, which may or may not happen. We'll see I guess, patient stalker can only hope.

Thankfully KCD2 was released in a functioning state (shocking in this day and age) and will keep me company for a while, fully tickling my pickle in terms of immersion and atmosphere.

It is based on my crystal ball prediction which is 99% accurate. Since we have nothing from RUNE these days, I guess the ball threw at me that 1% prediction error. Laughing Wink

I reckon solid modding tools and people with a lot of time on their hands are the only things that will make this game live on

It will have nowhere near the staying power the first game otherwise
