I think the white sparkly thing kicks in when you’re being irradiated.

It is radiation, yes. Bit heavy handed maybe.

Shillup review is good, has the receipts to show the issues and watched it last night. He wants to like it but the various rough edges makes it hard. Had the same issue with a side mission on collecting an debt with the bandits. You can
climb the water tower to get a nice rifle with scope the bandits will detect you without a light on and at night. Its dumb and the AI will say about throwing a grenade despite you being high up. Sadly the rifle is not sniper rifle
This is my first stalker game and its annoying you can't sell red condition weapon, it could be at 40% and you can't sell it and not worth repairing to sell, you just unload the ammo and dump it

How is controller support borked on pc? Genuine question as I'm using an Xbox controller which is absolutely fine.

It may have been hotfixed. On launch it absolutely refused to work with any of my controllers, including remote play via Steam deck. Works fine now though.

After you save someone or did quest for them and no one is about, kill them with your knife and take their stuff or if they offer a side quest you don't like - knife from behind  |

Getting lot of blank and low polly textures. Can't aim my viper because the sights are just a blob.

On a positive note I read the devs are aware that A Life 2.0 is not working as intended and is one of the big important things to fix.

Spawns aside, either the later guns and upgrades are a LOT stronger or they've way overtuned the mutants in this. They take so much punishment.

There's definitely some balancing issues, but I imagine that'll be smoothed out over time.
Wish you could see the quality of something before you pick it up, grabbing endless broken guns you can't even sell is annoying.

I just hoover everything up, sort inventory then drop all the red stuff after unloading it. But yeah, some indication it's red broken before pick up would be good.

Wonder if we'll eventually be able to break down the red shit for scrap or other bits.
It probably has some keybinds for inventory stuff like unloading and dropping or it'll be added in due course.

That's exactly what I keep wanting to do. It would be a very useful addition.

You can hit D to drop directly from inventory with your cursor over something at least on pc

There is a need for balancing, enemies throw loads of grenades and take bleed damage all the time from stubbing your toe but enemies don't. they can take 2 or 3 shotgun bullets sometimes or die from one. The encumbrance needs to be sorted asap and let me put my consumables into the stash

You can put consumables and ammo in the stash, but it took me far too long to work out a way - if you close the centre tab with your own equipped gear (press L3? Can't remember but it's listed on the screen) you have a direct route to move anything from inventory to stash.
I suspect there's an easier way as it's cumbersome as hell.

I’m currently wearing some body armour that just looks like a giant loaf of bread. Artisan camo.

I think the white sparkling effect may be replicating the effect seen on film footage at the reactor during the real incident? Radiation particles were damaging the film. I quite like it.
Not seen much jank (yet) but some sort of anomaly in a riverboat pretty much insta-killed me without me even seeing it... Frustrating. Amazing how quickly I'm racking up my own deaths.

Talking of racking up deaths, one thing I strongly dislike is the fact it shows you how many times you've died on the game over screen. It really bothers me for some reason.

If only gamepass on PC wasn't a gargantuan piece of moulding shit that can never decide if I'm allowed to play a fucking game through it based off of a bunch of idiotic errors, I'd be playing this already. Sigh.

It seems HDR10 is not working on xbox, turning off HDR for series X makes the graphics crisper. It does look a bit muddy (and I don't mind the wasteland)
While its not a RPG, the devs made a better fallout type game and there is more passion and soul in this game than something starfield. I like the fact you take pop someone in the head and take their stuff. In SF you can't do that as The Todd says no

Installed a couple of mods - one to fix the vertical sensitivity being higher than the horizontal, one to remove the reduction in weapon damage on hard (those mutants are just stupidly tanky), one to increase day/night cycle length and one to reduce weapon repair costs a little.

It does look a bit muddy (and I don't mind the wasteland) I did see Digital Foundry make mention of Xbox image: "Finally, you may notice the game is a little dark on Xbox, so you may need to change from the default Rec 709 colour space to sRGB unless you're playing in a dark room" Might be related? |
