taking territories is broken
i cleared out the bandit camp multiple times and no one ever came to claim it
the moment i stepped out, all the bandits repawned
this has happened on 3 playthroughs
it is also the most likely of the trilogy to crash

other than that, it's pretty great,
though i'd have prefered if they cut out the middle section that reuses territories from SoC.
a smaller, more focused game would have allowed them to polish the new areas even further
overall a 7/10

Buggy release and not as good design as the two other games.

Most buggy and mostly centered around faction wars.

Maps and graphics are the best in the series.

After you get used to killing bloodsuckers on their way to you, Clear Sky is a gnarly surprise

am i the only one that likes to play "fuck ereybody" mode and just clear out ever camp I come across
nothing as satisfying as killing all of duty alone, then walking down the road and killing everyone at freedome

I enjoyed it. The first few missions in the swamp where all anyone had were shitty sawn-offs and pistols is one of my favorite parts of the series. Something about it felt almost like a western with all the close range firefights and basically just being another grunt in a turf war, rollin' up on bandits with the squad and blasting some leather clad bitches. Having bases and territories get secured only to have them taken back by bandits made it fun to replay too. Honestly I wish more of the game felt like that. I liked the idea of being sorta a soldier working with a faction with a bunch of NPC brother-in-arms.
Like another anon said, it was buggy as fuck though. Still had fun.

the fact that all hostile parties were marked on the map really killed alot of the tense atmosphere that made STALKER as great as it is

CoP had this too but people dick ride CoP

You're thinking about the wrong thing. You're thinking of something even SoC had.

>>333834909
What? In your PDA all packs of mobs are marked on the map in CS, CoP no?

>>333835146
I don't think it's in CoP.

>>333835146
only nuetrals and friendlies are marked on your map in CoP. in CS you could open your pda and know where every bandit and mutant mob was across the entire game map

All hostiles being marked on the map, paired with buggy AI that would refuse to capture areas that you had cleared out certianly didnt do it any favors.

>>333834909
You might be confusing it with the minimap's enemy indicator, which is present in all three games.

That's what I've been trying to say.

Whoops, I might've quoted the wrong guy.
Fuck it

Faction war is broken
The game was buggy as fuck when it came out

It's a good game but it was just unplayable when it came out, i never had a single problem with vainilla soc besides some minor crash, maybe i was very lucky but with clear sky i had to restart 4 times because i had gotten a bugtrap in my save and the whole thing gets corrupted

Also, maps are amazing but extremely linear, i loved the deserted hospital but it's literally a hallway with enemies and limansk is lame as fuck. Red forest is still the best red forest in the series imo

People itt are forgetting the guns were pretty much broken. Bullets would just disappear or they would would fall to the floor 10 feet in front of you. Until you got late game guns everything was broken.
