One thing they could do is have an alternative reload animation and add the ammo lost thing, they already added saved reloading and alternative aiming when using night vision so it could happen

imo GSC pulled themselves in a corner by having skif dumping the mag in the animation since a very useful trick is to reload with a full mag to add an extra round, I do it a lot with my VSS but with the way things are it would ruin the thing.

If you're not that deep into the story I would recommend waiting, the next patch will roll out the first improvements

As a huge stalker fan this is a truly incredible game, but if you can wait a bit more you're gonna end up having a much better experience than what it would be like to play rn.

It's not what reviewers experienced kinda bad but there are some systems that either need balancing or fixing.

The best of luck to you and the team, can't wait to finally dive into the zone

I haven't tried it no, I'm just a big fan of the previous trilogy and yes these screenshots are official from the devs

It might be a bit overwhelming at first with bleeding from wherever bullet hits but it can be extremly satisfying to aim a headshot correctly.

Would recommend hunting artifacts, you're gonna find them in anomaly fields, you can trigger them to navigate the field better with some bolts, good luck!

sure thing, I love watching people react to stalker 2 already
