@Ronnie21093 @SamBox9029 stalker bad, gib like
-
@SamBox9029 I have him blocked, what was his post?
-
@SamBox9029 @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu a few of the areas are accurate to their IRL equivalents, it's really cool. The lion painting and bear statues are real things you can find around Pripyat.

@ninja8tyu @Ronnie21093 @SamBox9029 I didn't really "get" Stalker until I played Call of Pripyat, read a Roadside Picnic and watched the Tarkovsky film, and that sounds like a lot, but that's because it was.
In Stalker you navigate a landscape seemingly familiar but entirely alien, it's a metaphor for post-Soviet life and explains why everywhere east of France has a fascination with it.
Thanks to that thing that kicked off in 2022 a lot of people can't appreciate it for what it is anymore, and it's a shame.

@harbeau @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu Honestly the entire reason I even got STALKER was because its a game set in Chernobyl, albeit a fictional rendition.
Still found it to be an interesting worldspace to explore.
Chernobyl is one of my favorite subjects to read and learn about.

@SamBox9029 @Ronnie21093 i've played stalker before through a rec, but instead i was backseated the entire time because i had no idea what i was supposed to do
honestly not a good game unless you know what you're doing already imo? like subnautica, but idk

@Ronnie21093 "STALKER is jewkrainian slop and you should be ashamed of having such shit taste in games" or something along those lines.
Completely unprovoked and unnecessary
Feels like his dislike for it is due to political reasons rather than anything that is actually wrong with the game (i.e a lot of the games systems being rough or graphics being grainy like oatmeal)

@harbeau @Ronnie21093 @ninja8tyu I like Jupiter Factory, that place is awesome.
I like a lot of the fictional locations too like Radar and Pripyat-1 underpass
I especially like the cut CS rendition of Pripyat Underpass that got scrapped
