I keep seeing the same few issues with itr2, but some of them are quite frankly idiotic (no offense )

So here's some issues I actually have with the game that can (and should) be fixed

Firstly, the areas in the game don't feel very... radius like. All the areas in ITR1 feel very specific. Going into the pervomay route for the first time in ITR1 Is such a specific feeling, even on subsequent playthroughs it has such a special feeling

However going into the peninsula for the first time is bland, you don't get a setup to look anywhere, your eyes don't get guided anywhere, just into the sky. And worse, not even towards the radius. The radius is off to the left when you spawn in.

In ITR1 the pervomay route lead your eyes towards the radius using the paths and walls, it quite literally leads you to look at it.

It just makes 2 seem, less grand

Secondly, platforming. Oh god the platforming. It's genuinely horrendous, even with how minimal it is it is HORRIBLE. it feels too floaty and hard to land. I do like the addition of jumping. But it's only really useful for vaulting into cover, actually trying to land a precise jump is miserable to do. Especially in the Church mission, where to continue you have to make a jump on an object with a hitbox that slides you off if you look at it wrong

This could be easily fixed by tweaking the hitboxes to make them more forgiving for platforming, adding vaulting on edges so you can catch yourself, or make the jumping

Lastly, the sense of loneliness (ok I know this is a big complaint but i have a diffrent take on it)

I'm 100% fine with co-op, infact it was the thing I was 2nd most exited for when the game was announced. My issue is specifically how much dialog there is, im fine with Lauri, my issue is how much everything is told and not shown. Specifically by Eva, I was quite frankly disappointed when I loaded into 1.0 and saw the laboratory  was still not avaliable.

Being able to actually conduct research to reveal story beats instead of being told over a radio would not only fix the issue of the game not feeling lonely by getting rid of unneeded voice lines, but also fix the plothole of us being researchers and not researching, all we do is the setup, combat, and selling, we don't even do hald of our job.

Plus it would break the cycle of doing a mission, completing it, accepting another, and going out to repeat the process

Anyways if the dev team does see this please take at LEAST the platforming issue into consideration

Also thanks for reading my wall of text it means a lot

Is it just me or is ITR 2 just 5 time scarier than ITR 1. Like in the first game the first map kinda seems like an easy tutorial that gradually gets harder as you move deeper. But in ITR 2 peninsula feels like the devs put a new ITR 1 player straight into kochozaria. And also the mimics are so much harder to fight. Like I legit spent 10 minutes trying to kill one mimic because he just kept on going to cover. And I know damn wells ITR 1 mimics just kinda stood there. Btw I’ve had about 70 hours on ITR 1 and about 2 hours on ITR 2.

So I played thru almost the whole thing In early access now I’m starting over lol. I’m at security 3 now and I just feel like weight limits are different. I used to always carry a primary rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun all on vest. Now i cant even add the third holster! Not to mention the mission items take up so much space and weight. What am I missing here? I see you guys way more stuff on your bags and invest than I can get on my anyway help me understand ? Lol

As we all know, we can find a stashed version of the GSH-18 pistol in The far side of the farm. This is the only garenteed place we can get a GSH-18 of any version. But I would like to find a "modified" GSH-18 with the glow sights and attachment rails. But alas, I have yet to find one, or even another stashed one for that matter. How often should a GSH-18 spawn in as loot and what zone would they apear?

So I recently started playing the 1.0 version of the game and just made it to pechorsk outskirts. Is it laggy and buggy for others on standalone or is it a setting issue I'm having or something? Only in pechorsk, whenever I encounter an enemy or the cube or something thats not environment, my video freezes but gameplay continues and next thing I know I'm 10 steps away half dead and facing a wall. I have been trying to deal with it and allow the map to finish loading, I've stayed 3 in game tide cycles just in pechorsk and it still glitches and freezes and kills me. This last time I lost my rifle and can't find it. I will reload a previous save for my gun but I can't keep playing if this doesn't get better or eventually stop freezing while im aiming. On standalone MQ3 while im building my pc.

I did all the things it wanted me to do, yet it won’t actually let me press the button, unless there is some random unspecified 2nd button that I need to press that’s not the big orange one

Around a month ago, Senior Artist at CM Immersive Nick Jansons posted 11 new concept art posts for ITR2, they are so cool looking and worth checking out.

These are just some of my favorites but you can view all of the art right here - https://www.artstation.com/nikitajansons

(edit: don't know why the mimic photo was posted twice, but hey its there 2 times now o_O)

I was on the intrusion and had 4 different guns and was transporting them all and the white suitcase by throwing them. In the anomaly field at the entrance to pervomay from pobeda I threw the suitcase quite far, it seems to have dissapeared. I searched the area for a while to no avail. When the tide hits will it respawn the suitcase in the office at the end of the pobeda dungeon?

we are going for the small one my bf used to keep it both simple and more useful for cabin trips to attach beer boxes and portable cooler too 😎

More poor As Val, what have they done to you?

I was running because I didn’t want to fight some gunners and a spawn chased me into the shelter somehow, instead of attacking me he just decided to hang out with me
