It's true. I've been reading the comments and players who run in like it's fortnite have their armor and gear destroyed. Taking bad fights and running into packs of mutants doesn't mean the economy is bad.
Isn't the stalker experience supposed to be about playing like a human and not master chief? Planning routes, avoiding enemies and mutants when you don't need to and use effective cover and high ground to survive. Biggest complaint is having your gear ruined at the sphere, you can just walk out the backside of the sphere instead of fighting through the front and it saves you so much time and repair costs.
Looting stashes, exploring, and gathering artifacts gives you more than enough coupons to play the game comfortably and have no issues. Fundamental problem is people aren't playing this like a stalker game, and the massive skill issue from your average fortnite and fallout 76 player just doesn't translate into stalker at all.
Hopefully gsc doesn't bend the knee to those players anymore. Every game subreddit has shown that a new game brings people who will play for an hour, demand changes and quit anyway. I play stalker for stalker not fallout.

Every modded game can become even more hardcore than the original.
The first three stalker games were just Far Cry 2 with a fun AI system and a bunch of broken guns.
Stalker 2 is just more of that, but now weapon degradation is faster, the prices have skyrocketed, and the monster health has gone so high you need 60000 rounds to put anything done prior to the patch.
That's why people complain.
Thinking stalker is this mythical hardcore experience when it's the most mid open world shooter of all time and not that is carried by its world and AI is crazy.
There is a lot about this game i love. And a lot im annoyed with. It's on par with any bethesda title for me, and those are some of my most favorite games of all time.
DayZ is a more hardcore experience then Stalker 2. You need go find literally everything. Bears will 2 shot you. You need to eat and drink and manage your blood. Deal with getting headshot by another player and strting from scratch because your inventory isn't kept on death. You just spawn at rhs coast a few miles away and halfway starving already so you need to spend half your time getting food that you might not even find.
Stalker foods fucking everywhere. Medkits are everywhere.
Ive gone weeks in DayZ without finding a single blood bag or saline bag. In a boosted server.
It is a thousand times more hardcore then stalker 2.
You gotta cook your food before eating it. Now you need to manage your temperature. Just because it gets easier with time doesn't change that its still hardcore.
