I'm all for a new thing from Splatty. I went looking at Twitch to see if he streamed this, but no go. A series of YT friendly (30ish minutes) playthrough videos would be great. I learned a lot just from this one hour video because I'm not great at this type of game but love them enough to keep playing them anyhow.
@kasper7203 I wish he did it for every game but I'm sure he doesn't have the time, not do that along with streaming and actually living his normal life. Maybe if it was just a couple videos week max but he posts a new video nearly every day of the week.
I'm so happy you busted out an hour long video for this one, Splat. You're the youtuber I was most anticipating playing this. I know you don't do longplays anymore, since they can hurt your channel, but I do hope that you do one for this game. Of all the youtubers and streamers I've watched play this, you're the only one who has "understood" these games and loved them the same way I do.
For people reading this: If you see fungi on anything food related, a general safety rule is to cast out anything that is soft and easily penetrated, by the (to the naked eye) invisible tendrils of the fungi's scourge. As it might be completely infiltrated, and the contaminated nourishment might bequeath you with an affliction. Anything consisting of less impenetrable materials that will be unyielding to invasion, you can just carve off a piece a bit away from the infected area.
This was a blast to the past of the let’s play days. I’ve rewatched your stalker series’s multiple times over the years. Glad you’re still in the Zone, Splat
i had to google if they wrote the title of their own game wrong. Turns out we all use the russian spelling "Chernobyl" but the ukranians spell it "Chornobyl". just in case anyone else wondered.
It is localized as example Russias use Chernobyl, Ukrainians use "Chornobyl" and polish as example use Czarnobyl (Cz is pronounced as Ch)... so the spellings are about the same just diff. Nationalities pronounce some letters little different. Perfect example: Lviv in English pronounced as "Lviiv" but in Ukrainian or Russian it is "LuhViv" or Polish Lwow or "Lwuv". So technically all are correct just localized :)
Яка різниця, як московити вимовляють Чорнобиль? Те саме, щодо Львову. Припускаю, що у поляків є якийсь тумблер, який заважає говорити українського міста правильно. Але що саме заважає це робити англомовним гравцям?
Since Ukraine got invaded by Russia, or rather... neo-fascist ruZZia with its imperialist and genocidal instincts, they've been rejecting ruZZian influence and emphasizing their own culture and pronunciation. Chornobyl is in Ukraine, and the nuclear disaster there is one of the multiple ways they suffered from the U.S.S.R./ruZZian hegemony. Incidentally, the ruZZian army when they tried to take Kiev were dumb enough to dig in and live in the Zone they had taken over... there's still a lot of radiation in the soil if you dig.
When I found out that this game came out, I had to come back here to see you play it. Glad to see you’re still at it, I grew up on your original STALKER series! Edit: Please make a full series of this! The world needs it
I miss your let's plays, but still watch because your commentary is that good on new games, and you help me know if I'm interested or not, but mostly I feel sad I can't keep watching you play a game I don't want to play but watch you specifically play.
Been following for a while and there is a noticeable difference between videos of games you are excited and stoked for and those you are not. Keep up the great content!
Yes! I preordered this back before the Russian, Ukraine war started. After an understandable delay because of this event, I'm happy to see the people making it were able to release it. For those who don't know, the devs are based in Ukraine.
'In the world of video games...' you got me with this one 😅 Best channel I got myself into, definitively worth subscribing, as I just did. All the best, m8!
Dude you rock this gameplay is top quality.. I hope you do more of this on twitch ❤.. I could've watched this vod for hours, damn it if it wasn't too short, the 1hr10m went by in a flash..
I'm liking the video and giving it a blind watch to help with engagement but I'm sadly at work and can't play it yet so I don't want to spoil it. Very excited to play this later.
I'm going to edit this comment later, because I really gotta say, this is the first time I've seen Splat doing a 1 hour gameplay. Excited for it. I watched, and you delivered. I really like this. Hopefully, you can make it a series. I'd binge the hell of it.
I think it's open to disclosure with your employer if you are hungover...not so much wasted LOL Loving the coverage of the new Stalker from you, hope to see more. It's a delight watching your videos
Not a survival game but definitely a game to play when someone is frustrated with They Are Billions is called "Diplomacy is Not An Option" Love the channel and thank you for finding all kinds of great games (just got Tunguska: The Visitation ^_^)
I just spent almost 20 minutes finding and uninstalling games from my secondary drive to fit this thing. I still have 7 hours of downloading before I can play.
going from retro pixel indies that run on a potato to a game that makes a 4090 wish it was a 5090 is a bold jump in target audience, that said I finally understood why this game is so demanding, once you are in the forest in daylight at maxed settings it's almost photo realistic sometimes, it just need to be smoother and it'll be great, the game is old school good, if you want real difficulty play in veteran btw stalker seems way easier, you're not making 2 fights without saving in veteran
Damn, love the extra long vid! Great honest review, and I hope the game only gets better for you. Missing the streams, so would love to maybe see some Let's Play type runs a times. 🙂
I appreciate your take on this especially, knowing you're a GAMMA player as well. Nice to see it running smoothly, hopefully your media build is similar to the release build. Think I got ruined by GAMMA though, will have to wait a couple of years anyway to play that or whomever wants to take up the mantle for Stalker 2.
58:43 How is it that now a graphics card takes as much power, alone, as an entire gaming system from about 10 years ago, and CPUs are roughly twice the clocks with about 4 to 5 times more cores, but character facial animation from the mid 90s still looked better? That voice actor was going for it, but his character model looked like a half-melted Max Headroom with a lobotomy on valium. Same thing with the first guy he met up with and the intro NPC. At least be aware of your faults, guys. More gas masks! Also, I know I can't play this game, because after being cursed at for the 14th time after four seconds of conversation, I'd just grease the dope and roll on.
@@alexduffy7925SkillUp didn’t even install the right patches and shows himself clearly misunderstanding core aspects of gameplay in his footage. By all means, watch the video, but don’t use it as your sole source of critique.
I'm financially struggling right now and have been waiting a very long time for this game. I told myself this morning that I wouldn't watch or listen to anything about it so I could go in completely blind once I could afford it. But, for you Splatt, I'll make an exception.
If you’re sat there thinking “would they like a series of this?” … the answer is yes, very much 100% yes.
Don't worry, the thought never crossed his mind.

It's not bad to change things around and do a Let's Play series for old times sake! We'd totally watch it.
A stalker series would be a great way to bring new audience to your channel. Come for the stalker, stay for the indie games.

He is perceptive. And that's why I watch his videos.
Thanks for posting a double length feature of this game bro. Don't care about a critique, loving to just see the game in action.
Not diversity enough? Lmao
The only bad thing about this game for what ive seen so far is the lack of A-life
Visible mold spores are like the end stage of mold. If you can see mold that means it's everywhere in the bread even if you can't see it.
Still perfectly edible, stalker

Welcome back, Stalker.
This was a blast to the past of the let’s play days. I’ve rewatched your stalker series’s multiple times over the years. Glad you’re still in the Zone, Splat
Seeing a playthrough series of this amazing game from the Splatt would be absolutely sick as af
Ive been here since the lets play days and I know it wasn't sustainable with new youtube algorithms but you were still my favorite lets play creator.
amen brother
Yeah... the algorithm...
33:00 dude that *is* a poltergeist. They've always looked like that :3
Was looking for this to confirm that yes, Poltergeist "anomalies" were always these mutants.
Historically, games where you wake up in the back of a wagon are top tier

Same here. His original stalker series is the first thing I ever watched of his.
@ Hopefully there’s enough demand that he’ll make this a series. There’s no one better for STALKER imo
Would actually love to see a full playthrough of this. And considering how much you love the game im sure the viewers wont mind
Splat please make this a series. I found ur channel off the old stalker vids way back in the day and ive been stoked to see u play this
I miss your let's plays, but still watch because your commentary is that good on new games, and you help me know if I'm interested or not, but mostly I feel sad I can't keep watching you play a game I don't want to play but watch you specifically play.
gotta love Splatt "talks to chat" in a video ;) awesome sauce!

"the devs are based [...]"
They sure are.
Yes, they actually lost one of the main developers in the war last year..
GLORY TO UKRAINE!
They're not in Ukraine at all
That's not true. Devs are living and working in Prague, Czechia. They moved in a few weeks after the war started.
3:38 forgot i was watching a lets play got immersed in the intro splatters voice startled me lol
Yes! As an OG day 1 STALKER fan, can't wait to get into this after a few patches.
The original games had extra charm due to the accented English sprinkled in with the cheeki breeki. This needs more cheeki.
Splatt, that was the best impression of the James Bond theme I have ever heard
I kinda miss splat series game play wouldn't mind having one every now n then
'In the world of video games...' you got me with this one 😅 Best channel I got myself into, definitively worth subscribing, as I just did. All the best, m8!
I am loving the longer format, please do it more when you got something cool like this!
hell yeah taking me back to the let’s play days
Bring back the aul LetsPlay days, I'm here for it!
Gods I miss your let's play days. I miss getting into the meat of a game with Splat and just how quick his commentary could be
Dude you rock this gameplay is top quality.. I hope you do more of this on twitch ❤.. I could've watched this vod for hours, damn it if it wasn't too short, the 1hr10m went by in a flash..
You know what Im here for? SlatterCat enjoying playing a game.
i miss your old lets play days. You got me through the 3 Shadowrun games.
“Give em the bags! Yeaaaaa…. I’m toxic chat…I’m toxic.”
Laughed for 5 straight minutes. Classic splat.
I feel like I'm dreaming, an HOUR of Splatty?! THE LORD IS MERCIFUL!!
I'm liking the video and giving it a blind watch to help with engagement but I'm sadly at work and can't play it yet so I don't want to spoil it. Very excited to play this later.
This video is a return to form. I miss the days of Let's Plays from you, so this is definitely a welcome surprise.
Headlamps are cool if you are working on cars.... But if you are actually operating..... The enemy will aim at the emitting light...
I dig this style of content from you! I'd love to see a playthrough of Stalker 2!
44:32 Fun fact: Had you stashed your gear in the safe here before instead of looting it, you'd have it all back now :) minus the rifles.
I've been patiently awaiting your video on this. Thanks, Splat! Should be a wild ride
13:19 Splattercat thinks flowers are bulletholes
PTSD ))
death by morning glory
"He's got a bit of a beef jerky thing going on" 😂😂😂😂😂

Loving the coverage of the new Stalker from you, hope to see more. It's a delight watching your videos
Knowing how excited you are for this game, it’s really cool that they sent you a copy.
Stoked to see Splattercat play this game!
i had a hunch that i would loose everything so i stored everything in the cache in the garage. i kept everything but the 416 and akm
Not a survival game but definitely a game to play when someone is frustrated with They Are Billions is called "Diplomacy is Not An Option"
Love the channel and thank you for finding all kinds of great games (just got Tunguska: The Visitation ^_^)
Clearly what every FPS needs is a silenced pistol that sounds like the James Bond theme when fired.
looks fun and the commentary is gold as usual . thanks

"flickin this things button like we had a great date" made me chuckle.
Just got my dinner, drinks and watching this masterclass of a game that has been long awaited!
Top tip, don't forget to unload (right click) weapons you loot even if you don't keep the weapon.
The immersion and atmosphere is 10/10 reminds me of fallout 4 and how great exploration was in it.
Definitely a buy and gonna mod it to my liking 👌🏻
He's running on storyteller mode, you can tell because when he approaches the 3 guys shooting at the house he doesn't die.

your content is awesome. Quick, hilarious, plus you don't suckat the gameplay. Wish you uploaded longer gameplay on youtube!
would love splat to do these long form playthroughs again. so much fun
that was fun to watch. love the commentary as always. Don't know the story behind stalker but it sounds like a solid story.
The game looks great, and I'd love to play it... but that voice acting... good gods, I don't think I could stick that for more than an hour.

as a big "oblivion retrospective" fan, longer than 1 hour videos are my jam.
Real adorable of them to pretend that 5.45 is at all superior to 5.56.
I would tots watch a full playthrough of this with Splatter.
Good stuff. Mods are going to make this great again and im all for it
