    I heard that the game sucks you through your monitor and uploads you straight to the Ukranian front lines.

        There’s really nothing like it.

        Stalker takes all of the advantages games normally give you and crush it down to “You ain’t important, bullet-cushion.”

        Firefights feel like they have stakes and risk is intense. Nothing that happens can just be shaken off, everything needs attention. It’s not a normal FPS.

      I mean, don’t the call of duty developers openly collaborate with the military to increase recruitment? Hollywood sure as hell does.

      Great movie, btw.

    Russian disinfo is so nefarious it gets Trump elected but at the same time it barely musters a shit opinion on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Sounds totally legit and not a shit capitalisation on the Ukrainian suffering for page views. *slow clap

      Within psyops it’s much easier to amplify competing ideologies than it is to create new ones. Trump is the former, where information by stupid people gets amplified. This Stalker 2 campaign is the latter, where new information is created out of thin air.

          Well you could have just said that, instead of raising a comparison which does not really hold up.

          But yes, I don’t believe everything on the internet either.

    Worst I’ve heard about this game is it lacks some of the charming “soul” of the original. That’s not enough to keep me from buying it after Christmas, though.
