I just started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and here I am seeing the same dilapidation in Hive posts, I love it! Something about abandoned buildings is so awesome. I don't know if it's kenopsia or just an empathetic melancholia for what once was, but they just feel so... good?
Oh, I wanted to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but the computer can't handle the game...
And yes, these landscapes, although gloomy, are attractive in their own way
Yeah, the game is a beast. I had to install multiple mods and do all kinds of tweaks to make it playable without looking like trash. Kinda disappointing on that front.
Yes, a friend of mine started playing, and he says that there are some disappointments. But maybe they will finish it and it will be a fully playable thing.
