@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia Well yes! :)

I am not arguing that this game is worse for it, but I understand when newer and younger players are put off by it (even though we all know the game is still amazing despite it’s age).

Hell I very often also play modded DOOM II

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia Yeah, that’s basically my point! They used a lot of photo textures that kinda hold up especially in still frames. But the lack of modern materials and shaders are quite obvious.

Still, the game is a gem and a treasure!

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia I would beg to differ. The age of the engine and especially the textures and animations show. It’s by no means awful, but it’s not pretty anymore, in this modern context.

But it does have a certain retro charme, which I do enjoy very much.

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia Oh that’s true, but if you don’t care for an interesting story and all you want is a nice looking atmospheric hardcore shooter anomaly/gamma/efp are the way to go. But I love the stalker games nontheless.

Is there actually a way to play the vanilla story with gamma graphics?

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia Yeah. If you want the story and the comparison - play the og series. If you just care about a hardcore experience and amazing atmosphere go with gamma. Ideally both.

@AStalkerfreedom @Warvax1510 @vigilanceEcho @stalker_thegame @gamescomasia As someone who has played the OG games when they came out: it’s also fine to start wirh the modded games. But it really depends on what you want out of the experience. I can’t imagine going back to vanilla. It was great back then but the visuals are difficult to love today.

@fbdbh @JasozzGames Hear me out: elevators!

@DictatorVega @AMO_Crate I loved it as a kid - but i only ever rented it at my local video rental place. I don’t remember much, but what little i do remember i like.

@Oriru_Bastard @RaffoPhantom @BarelyAGS I hate to be this guy but your subjective opinion is no benchmark for „high-quality“.

A myriad of players back these and other franchises, which speaks to the appeal.

What are the hallmarks of quality to you? Uniqueness? High-fidelity realistic visuals? Story?

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@Oriru_Bastard @RaffoPhantom @BarelyAGS Any Half-Life. Any Last of Us. Ghost of Tsushima. Rockstars Portfolio of Games. Witcher Series.

Even CoD, Far Cry and Asscreed are great. But If you’ve played the games, the novelty has run out.

But that’s normal in life. Fewer things excite you. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@imoregames This game looks great! Who is the artist?

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

I feel like the original thread by Xavier outlines this very well.

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@anton_heimdal @kelskiYT Because most people play a role playing game in order to min-max...

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@Acez_Gaming @TheCycleGame Also Local/P2P Coop! 💙

@GameStar_de 2/2: Artist ist J. Hill.

[Robin @gnomweitwerfer]

@GameStar_de Psst das artwork ist nicht offiziell mit CD Projekt oder Cyberpunk assoziiert! ;)

@Yvanek @FluteMagician One pro doesn’t counter all the cons. The russians didn’t buy these vehicles new I don’t think.
