Does anyone has an Xbox control cheat sheet or a video going over all the Xbox related controls?
Iām only finding PC related stuff online and this game does not do any job of telling you some of the more intricate controls and how toās
Like how do I move my own inventory items to a safe? Early in the game I saw some tips to move your items to a safe in a house so you donāt lose those items after the next cutscene and or event in the game. That guy was on PC so the controls are not the same on Xbox.
Iām staring at the open safe and trying every to move my inventor items to the safe but cannot figure it out as nothing seems to work.
I need more direction as to the controls cause Iām getting lost on them and dying before I can figure it out.
Not really. I played Cyberpunk day one and the glitches and bugs were obvious after getting a step back and looking for them.
STALKER 2 have some glitches for sure, but some of the discourse about the AI is overblown. And everything I saw can be easily fixed when theyāll get the time.
The core gameplay is absolutely stellar. Thereās so much stuff to discover, so many random encounters that can go sideways. Itās hard for a regular player like most of us to let go of the random guy you didnāt manage to save or the hard decision you made because you were out of ammo or just forgot about it. The game also doesnāt make it easy for you to see whatās important and what isnāt like most games and it blows my mind, because I was used to think black and white for all these years and itās not how this game works at all.
Stalker 2 is so good. First game where Iāve really embraced and enjoy being a total dick.

Ok, that dodge by the enemy is pretty sick!

I saw that and was really surprised. Enemies do this dodge when they are really close and youāre about to unload a whole magazine on them.
AI is pretty good for an open world game of this scale, beside bugged spawn and aimbot accuracy.
Enemies move in group and they donāt always know where you are unless youāre shooting or making noise. They can forget about you and go back to their patrol if you go hide somewhere and they canāt find you. Bolts can be used to lure them but they usually go serching in group (althouh someone said to me that you can lure one at a time if youāre lucky). You can also assassinate enemies with the knife when you get close.

I got crazy Half-Life vibes when you get to you know where.

Spot on! Iām so enjoying this game and the real showcase and what makes this game is the environment. I do feel like a stalker walking around
The lack of ammo was a little bad point at 1st until I had to adjust my ways and I canāt think of any open-world game that doesnāt have issues with bugs or iffy AI at times.
This game is so special and all the better for just being so different to your typical AAA FPS.
Finished. Incredible. Couldnāt put the game down. What an achievement for the studio considering the circumstances, and what a get for Xbox and Game Pass. This is my GOTY.

Patch 3 available on Xbox. I hope it fixes what we all are waiting for it to fix.
I finished the game today and I want to do the other endings, but if you want to do a 100% playthrough looking to do everything in the game I suggest to wait a few months.

New 1.1 patch (1.7.677.0 on Xbox) ! The list of fixes is massive. Iām hoping to see big improvements to the game AI and encounters. I feel like starting the game over to be sure everything is working as intended. * Fingers crossed *

I gave it a spin just before. Too early to tell, but did feel like there was more life in the zone.

I played a bit. Changes in the AI behavior are subtle (enemies popping now in front of you instead of behind your back), but Iāve finally been able to finish THAT mission with nothing major breaking afterwards. Also, weapons popping into hands or inventory is fixed (that one was annoying as hell) !
Some of my old saves are crashing the game though. Luckily I had a few.
These patches go in the right direction. I guess they are focusing on ironing out Story missions bugs first before commiting to big changes in behaviors and mechanics. Still a few more patches to go to get the fully polished experience imo. Itās getting there. The game is still so much fun.

I played a bit more and thereās definitely more activity now. Different groups are appearing roaming around, engaging random enemies (or sometimes yourself) more frequently depending on the location. Iām not sure itās proper A-life stuff but it looks close to it.

Here is a STALKER 2 short documentary from UNITED 24. Thereās some new bits of info about the making of the game. It also gives some perspective about the occupation of the Tchornobyl Nuclear Power Plant by the russian army in 2022.
Just to keep in mind : I watched the full end credits of STALKER 2 and I saw the list of names after āIn memory ofā. There are around 138 names, sometimes almost entire families that have been credited.
