Glad it’s getting individual releases because these games are very punishing from what I heard.
So choose wisely, everyone.
Ah! I wish I didnt read that headline wrong D; I thought there is a Zelda trilogy coming. This looks interesting thou!
I can't wait for Stalker 2. It looks so good
You absolutely spineless cowards, call it S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like it is supposed to be called!! Are you scared of a few extra dots? Afraid you will develop carpal tunnel because of it?!?
For those who never played it, absolute gem of a game. The vibes in this series is next to none.
Please be without performance issues, please be without performance issues, please be without performance issues.
Gyro Aiming? If I wasn't already all-in this would convince me.
Don’t see the bundle on the US eshop…?
@Emacster it's not on any eshop
@Andgiles62 I see it on the US Eshop, so maybe regional differences.
Also I don't see the bundle at all but instead the individual releases which tbh is a blessing in disguise
@anoyonmus
It was the bundle we were referring to! Hardly a blessing when (if correct) you'll be able to purchase all 3 for the price of 2....
Shadow of Chernobyl was the first game I ever bought on Steam , after getting my first laptop. I could not figure on how to get it working with a controller though and gave up. If the Switch port reviews well , I'll be getting it for sure. That said , I've got the 2 Metro games in my backlog. Played the first for a few hours but it wasn't really clicking with me. That was around the same time I had a similar experience with Alien Isolation. I went back to it recently,and now it's one of my all time favourites.
I personally can't wait.
Get out of here, Stalker
Why are these games popular? Genuine question. They seem to be classics but never heard to of them until now. I enjoy good shooters so I'm definitely interested.
@roy130390 Eh, they were very popular back in the day here, in East Europe. I remember trying out the first game and quitting because you had to shoot a guy with about 10 rounds before he succumbed and that was as frustrating as it was unsatisfying. I've heard there were fan mods created in the meantime that improved the accuracy and damage of guns, also, it's said the developers polished the gameplay by the third game. I'm willing to give them a second chance now.
@roy130390
Never played these games, but when the first came out, it gave me those impressions:
Overall hearing that it is a pretty hard Game, i skipped
@roy130390 they are "open world" FPS (not fully, each zone is open and linked to other zones) with missions, and "realistic" gun play, combined with unique A-Life system for the NPCs, where the world and its events happen whether the player is there to witness or not, and the first game also has horror elements...
oh Wish Granter: I wish nintendolife would spell S.T.A.L.K.E.R. correctly
Get in the zone! ExclusionZone!
LOL
I will be interested to see how the Switch handles these... crazy to think of the big library this little (dated) mobile chipset has on it.
Never played but this is giving me Metro vibes.
It certainly got my attention and I'll wait for some reviews to make sure the performance is good before buying it.
A nu chiki-briki i v damki!
See you in the Zone, Stalker.
Physical? No physical, no purchase.
@tourjeff I never played Metro, but from what I understand Metro is a little more action oriented. Maybe more cinematic too? These games are more atmospheric, action being more interspersed. Some really scary moments without many enemies.
I finally got my PC copy of Shadow of Chernobyl, that I've had for 15 years, up and running (lots of key bindings to do + experimenting with them).
And yeah, the game's a classic; the atmosphere and graphics are great. Combat on the other hand is challenging to say the least; the PC version is not optimized to controller play at all (no aim assist etc. options) all is geared towards playing with mouse and keyboard.
Now I will play the PC version a bit more and see how far I can get with combat being very challenging. The PS4/5 remasters have aim assist etc., I've read, so I believe the Switch version will have too.
Yeah, I might double dip if the Switch version plays better than the PC version (and performs at a steady 30 fps).
