That's neat. I wonder if TCRF has an article on this game yet, if not maybe some other site has all the beta comparisons/analysis

Absolute sloptent channel has a mental breakdown and cries for 8 minutes, couldn't summarize the tourist western fanbase better.

Hey, has anyone played Tunguska the visitation? I've been enjoying it and it is cleary a passion project from the dev who constantly helps out in the discussions. Very stalkeresque.

Pretty cool bite-sized game to spend a couple days on. I like how the title has the probably-unintentional double meaning of basically visiting the Zone for a bit of tourism and leaving whenever you feel like it.

Bullet sponge enemies and tries way to hard to be like stalker instead of being its own thing.

Well yeah, it's obviously a Stalker fangame dude. But it's worthwhile just seeing how Stalker would play in third person.
I dunno about bullet sponge enemies; most things die in one or two headshots. Maybe locational damage isn't intuitive in a top-down game but I thought it was pretty satisfying. It does mean you pretty much have to stick to sniper rifles only plus a backup shotgun with the right ammo for when a chunky mutant gets too close, but a lot of games are like that.
 
Hello lads
I have decided to try stalkersoup and downloaded the final cut from MODDB but for some ungodly reason the inventory and HUD are all messed up.
Is that common?
How can I fix this?

I mean, the best fix for stalker mods in general is just too reinstall the game from scratch and if you didnt already follow a install tutorial to the letter.

Outside of power armor, it feels like Stalker 2 forgot that the alternate history of Stalker was supposed to be more advanced than the real world. Medical technology is almost Fallout-level advanced, and power armor is the Slavic take on early Ghost Recon military speculation. Most of the time, it feels like the developers wanted to create a single-player escape from Tarkov with mutants. Art style and graphics are just a bit too pretty and natural-looking, not the filthy, grimy hellhole the Zone looked like in the older graphics. With the mixture of Unreal Engine 5 games all looking similar, it doesn’t help that most Unreal Engine 5 pump-action shotguns are just the same reskinned stock Remington 870 model. Same goes for the AR416 and AKMs weapons models.

The normal armour, the SSP and Seva, Id say look pretty good to keep the feeling, the story remembers that its supposed to be Sci-Fi very well, but as for weaponry I kind of agree? But I honestly don't know if what they did was a good or bad thing, because the design of modern weapons suck and the cutting edge weapons of the 2000s are common and banal nowadays.
Like, the HK416 is banal, everyone's heard of it, but it's still a """modern""" mainstay on arsenal's, the Fora looks bland, but the Kharod? It's a cutting edge weapon, but it's horrid to look at, an amalgamation of shapes that are not only common aesthetic but also make it look awful, when it's really a HK416 with some modifications and a new furniture.
Every single new rifle either looks like shit or the same, and including a F2000 isn't hot shit anymore.
Another example could be the RAM-2, I had never heard of this shotgun before Stalker 2, and quite frankly, I don't like it!
If you wanna keep the Sci Fi cutting edge look you'd need to use these new rifles but like, I hate looking at them.
