S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Is A Frightening But Alluring Return To The Zone | Hands On Preview

Hahaha jank brother u we’re not paying attention don’t blame the AI it was u haha

My man would have an aneurism if he played Tarkov.

This is going to play great on PS5 Pro

My guy it's not jank you just haven't played a real serious shooter before.

STALKER is intended to be difficult. You shouldn't be running through buildings without a fear in the world, you should be carefully clearing them knowing danger lurks in every corner.

In a gunfight you need to take cover while also maneuvering. If the AI can pin you and out maneuver you that's just basic gun fighting strategy. Get fire superiority and flank them first. Also didn't see him throw a single grenade. They hand them out like candy in stalker games.😊

Let me just go ahead and spoil the entire intro for you because i'm too lazy to write - The Review.

uhh this reviewers... stalker shadow of chornobyl was amazing and challenging, this is a sequel so...

i can't wait !!

Good hunting stalkers…

This game sounds exactly like the first three STALKER games - and that's everything I wanted.

Describing the AI intelligently flanking you and taking you out from behind as jank is peak modern gaming journalism.

I am over the moon the game is looking this good. I can only hope it's even more brutal on its hardest difficulty.

Don't just stand there! COME IN!

Is the jank in the room with us? Just sounds like you got Cheeki Breeki'd my friend.

You're not looking at the right thing when describing jank, you're just performing badly at the game and blaming it.
Mechanically, this is a mixture of survival mechanics with tactical shooter. Remember that.

I'm actually looking forward to the hard difficulty and combat jank. Remind me of New Vegas in a way. Recently games have gotten waaaay to easy. For example in Bethesda "rpgs" you can more or less take on all enemies from the early hours

the reviewer dosn't know what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is...
The "jank" that the reviewer keeps saying is what makes S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fun. The difficulty, AI, the gunplay or the ideia that you are not the main character or important to the game universe is what all the previous games and probably what the new one aims to do

god... i just hope for the moder community can make a coop mod soon after the game came out

LOL this guy gets flanked and he calls it "jank"... That's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. baybeeee!

Getting snuck upon by a cheeki-breeki bandit and you call it jank? A-Life 2.0 is working as intended. HAHA!

"the weapons aren't well maintained and are innaccurate..."

magdumps at EVERY ENEMY

Mod support from day 1... on unreal engine 5, this will be a PERFECT game for sure... we've had a dry spell for gaming recently, this shall fix that.

>gets flank by intelligent ai
>"game is jank"
bruh what.

As a Ukrainian not gonna lie. Proud a studio from Kiev made this.

Aside from the rookie reviewer, I really glad they took notes from the modding community, notably Anomaly and GAMMA

skill issue

It looks fantastic.

This guy is all over the place what a poor preview 🤦🏽‍♂️

How many Azov and Stapan Bandera references will be in this game?

Not being on ps5 is a crime in ourself

shotguns for mutants, long guns for humans.

This game would be twice as good if it had a Far Cry 2 style save system. At least as an option in the higher difficulties. You wanna feel the Zone at its most dangerous? Create the possibility of losing 30 minutes to an hour of progress.

When a firefight in the OG STALKER games (seemingly) died down, there was ALWAYS some cheeki breeki creeping up through the bushes behind you. Just like the AI in the old games always started pushing when you had to reload or turn your back to them. I love it.

This game would be so much better if you can co-op with a mate

This guy never played the OG stalker, this ain't Call of Duty. Time your shots, be methodical. Get better. Disliked

So glad they retained the combat from the original 3 titles. This isn't "jank", but rather an attempt to make combat feel more realistic and desperate. You are not an action hero in any of the Stalker games, this isn't R.A.M.B.O - Heart of Chornobyl. Engagement depends on the gear and weapons you have an who (or what) you face.

holy spoiler warning batman

"gaming journalists" alway seem to be the worst players ever

This is game of the year for me,cant wait

The man got flanked by bandits.

The lad got Cheeki Breeki'd.

Can’t wait to walk through Pripyat

Looking at him trying to "shoot accurately" I'm not surprised he died so much. STOP spraying and praying, dude! Take time to aim. You're not gonna win by missing your enemies.

A yes, good old video game journalist quality gameplay. 😂

На 3+ не более

As others are pointing out, getting flanked and not hitting shots isn't "jank", it's called a "skill issue"

“After a betrayal during you trip into the zone you end up becoming a stalker too” peak writing

Now this has my attention

Some of these grass areas remind me of white orchard in the Witcher 3😮
