New patch is here and it’s a big one.

Edit : new controller ability isn’t about the Xbox controller but an enemy called a “controller”, so not to be confused.

NPC’s having not so perfect aim and not shooting through stuff is nice, i hope it works on high grass too.

This game was already very good on release, it just needs some cooking, with the A-life and patches like this one, it’s going to become a gem, now let modders do their thing and i’ll comeback in a year or so.

European studios are the GOAT this gen.

I’m going for the 4th and last ending (starting from a previous save). I absolutely adore the game even in its state. And it’s becoming much better. They are also adressing all the complains which is great.

I’ll probably restart the game again to see how much it is improved early in the game. I read that bandits are way less accurate than soldiers later in the game, as it should have been. Exos don’t appear as much often in the last part of the game too. This stuff make the game much more interesting and grounded. Seeing other factions doing work is part of the fun of the franchise.

Great post .

The game is so special and unique it saddens me more people aren’t praising the game up in the community Xbox

I just haven’t got around to playing it yet. I started it and made it to the first settlement, but then got busy during the holidays and haven’t gone back.

Same here, KCD2, Avowed and Indiana jones are taking up all my time but Id like tonget back to Stalker 2.

What’s improved the most with these redent patches?

I wouldn’t worry about hoping back in yet. Even after most patches it runs poorly in large city areas and quests can break locking you out from completion. Enemies still after all this time can spawn right next to you and ruin progress. The biggest issue is the texture/Fiolage flickering no matter if it’s the beginning of the game or towards the end it was still a constant problem. They’ve made large strides to fixing these issues, but it still needs many more patches
