I'm dissapointed, my whole life I thought that Stalker is some kind of a relic amongst RPG games, yesterday I finally got the game, started to play it and I found out that it's pretty much just an FPS with interesting story. I miss exp points or some kind of percs, because I'm not motivated to go for any other quests other than the main one.

It's a good play but I thought more of it.

dummy

>I'm not motivated to go for any other quests other than the main one.
"I" being the key factor. The fault lies with you, not the game.

most of the quests are
>kill bandit
>find this gun
etc

Because its a FPS with RPG elements. Its not a full on RPG. Did u even look into the game before playing it?

faggot

Yeah, this is all on you OP. You're a retard.

Yes the main quest is the point, at least in Shadow of Chernobyl. Most every other quests is just a way to get equipment. Try Call of Pripyat, its side quests are little more fleshed out.

RPGfags are the worst thing in this entire industry.

...

Are you that limited in what games you like?

Stalker is a great game and this is coming from someone with 400 hours on EU4 and CK2 and 200 hours on Gothic 2.

As a russian I'm disappointed too. Ukraininans are now enemies now and crimea and donbas etc. etc. etc. etc..... Fuck the vodka.. or gorilka or how is it kalled now... fuck. my head aches. I vomit under the table. suka blyat.

If you don't enjoy the story element, play CoP instead. It's better for roleplaying

Also try to be more autistic and think of it as an analog xp system where YOU actually learn how to survive in the game

I've never seen anyone here try and say that it's one of the greatest RPGs ever made or put it on any kind of list like that.
It's just a very unique game with a lot of atmosphere

It still works like a RPG, you start weak and barely able to shoot and become better in every aspect.The game is primarily an FPS so your skill need to be more important than the character's skill, you don't want "real stats" here.

It's a FPS with RPG elements, it can arguably be considered an Immersive Sim but nobody ever said Stalker was a RPG.

>Needing some kind of arbitrary carrot on a stick to enjoy something.

Fuck you, go play fucking clickers if you need to watch numbers go higher.

>Needing some kind of arbitrary carrot on a stick to enjoy something.

That's the point of any game there is

When will yellowstone erupt already.
Sharts are simply way too dumb it gives me hadache.

Yes, I'm afraid the enjoyment comes from exploration and immersion, not getting your carrot on a stick quest reward to feel like you've done something tangible.
I'm afraid some day you're going to have to face up to the fact that you're not accomplishing anything while playing video games and need to do it because you enjoy it, not play games you don't like because it's feeding your false self-gratification when you turn in your quest and get 20 virtual gold and a new hat.

what's the best SoC mod and why is it OGSE

Play CoC with quest mods + faction warfare and get your RP rocks off.

>not playing games because you enjoy the challenge
>shiggydiggy

The stories can be ok sometimes too.

I think I've seen some dumbass recommend it in an open world rpg thread but have no idea why

its not a fucking role playing game you retard, and you dont have to do any of the side missions in SoC because they are mostly experimental or filler, CoP has much better side missions if that's something you actually want

The best thing about SoC is the world building

go play shitty Todd's games
Stalker for real mens

>sitting in camp on a rainy evening while Ivan is playing the guitar

>I had expectations for this game I never played and evidently knew very little about
Okay, so you're retarded. Is that all you wanted to say?

>youre not allowed to have expectations for things you havent played/don't know about
ok man

Like this?

Did I say that? Maybe you're trying to offer further proof that you are retarded but that's not necessary.

I'm saying that how you built your expectation indicates you are retarded and that your OP seems to serve no point but indicate that you are retarded.
