Gabe Newell is hooked on Stalker 2 and once he's got the fourth ending (!) will 'figure out what I'm going to play next' (www.pcgamer.com)

KCD:2 I bet. It and stalker 2 take the little time I have to game. They're both GOTY for me.

I started KCD2 recently and at first I was like "So it's Elder Scrolls but no fantasy stuff so... Will it be boring?" But then I started to see how it's not like modern Elder Scrolls, but specifically Morrowind with how deep it is despite not having magic and shit, and I'm loving it.

Though I honestly wish I could just quicksave and not need an item to save anywhere without a bed. Being able to go "what happens if I..." Then saving the game so you can fuck around and find out is like the best part of a game, IMO.

Get the quick save mod from nexus. The whole idea is so you can't play around with your choices but the mod gives you that ability.

I plowed a solid month into Stalker 2 when it came out and loved my time with it, but it has it's fair share of problems. Not having proper A-life alone makes me very reluctant to nominate it for GOTY.

Eurojank lol yea I do agree the broken a-life sucks a bit.

What is a-life???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

It's the stalker "ai" that made the originals more alive. Basically factions would have wars, and wandering stalkers you would run into.

They did fix a lot of the issues with the patches so a-life works pretty much like the originals.

Eurojank is one of my favorite features in a game. If anything Stalker 2 dumbed it down.

Can't disagree with anything here.
