Well…

As the title says, I'm stuck between purchasing one of three very different games.

They are as follows:

Dying Light: The Beast

Outer Worlds 2

Stalker 2

I know they aren't apples to apples comparisons, but I'm curious, for those that have played them, what you'd suggest win out if you were in my position?

 

[Gonzito]

I would go with Stalker 2

 

[Mister Wolf]

Stalker 2 the best on that list. I go back and forth whether I liked Stalker 2 or Metro Exodus more. Both are great.

 

[playbignbox]

Stalker 2

 

[March Climber]

Purchase but then wait on Stalker 2 a bit further. It's still being patched up and will probably be patched up again soon.

If you don't want to wait, then Dying Light: The Beast (Assuming you have played Dying Light 1 and 2).

 

[Magic Carpet]

Stalker 2 is kind of hard. But should probly be first on your list.
Outerworlds 2 is a much better game than the first one.

I don't know anything about Dying light. You should get that one.

 

[Josemayuste]

All three games are very good games. But Stalker 2 has the potential to be a cult classic as the original Stalker did.

 

[WellSheet]

Thanks for the responses!

Regarding Stalker 2….

What is the gameplay loop like?

Is it similar to Metro? Are you exploring cool locations and going into handcrafted dungeon-like areas?

It looks like you just wander around, throw a screw at some electrical shit and go through a storyline (I'm being facetiously reductive)

 

[Durin]

I think Stalker 2 is the best of that bunch...but I'd honestly say Dying Light: The Beast isn't a bad choice either.

Stalker and The Outer Worlds 2 I think will benefit more from playing later down the line, as they receive patches to still fix bugs there.

 

[IFireflyl]

Great thread! I think you should play Final Fantasy X.

Outer Worlds 2.

Midway through it. Cant stop playing.

Stalker 2 is hardcore. Get it on sale so you won't regret if you fall off.

Dying Light haven't played. But they can be a lot of fun in coop.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Was an honor to play outer worlds 1 and am happy to report it was a good game, I was worried about stalker 2 but there's a rookie difficulty

 

[Pey.]

Stalker 2 definitely. Now that the game is properly patched, it easily the best of the 3. Even without the patches it's still better in every single aspect.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Stalker 2 > Dying Light the Beast > Outer Worlds 2

 

[El Hee-Ho]

Was an honor to play outer worlds 1

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

3 skips imo.

Although I might try Stalker some day.

 

[Punished Miku]

Outer Worlds 2.

Real answer.

I have all 3.

Outer worlds 2 is the most polished and fun of the bunch.

Stalker is the most immersive and chad of the bunch.

Dying light just wait for deep sale…

Although, to be fair, I also found OW2 surprisingly difficult on normal mode at the beginning. The enemies behind the bridge were all over-leveled.

I feel OW2 has surprising amount of itemisation potential. It is a bit old school rpgs where difficulty curve tends to be high.

That needs to be dealt with using right weapons with right modifications. It becomes a breeze if you get that right.

 

[Xbox 360 slim]

waiting for outer worlds 2 to go to like 30 bucks

 

[Fess]

Buy a cheap Gamepass Ultimate sub and play The Outer Worlds 2.

Then play Ninja Gaiden 4, Silksong, Keeper, Expedition 33, Avowed, DOOM, bunch of Ubi games.

 

[Yerd]

I have played Outer Worlds 1, not 2. I never finished it. It's still a fun game.

Dying Light I played, can't remember much about it. Guess you could say it's forgettable.

Stalker 2 is good, but it's still being worked on. I played it before a-life even existed in it. I will play again once a-life is complete.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

OW 2 so far definitely feels massive upgrade over part 1.

Belongs to upper echelons of rpgs imo, especially if anyone enjoys WRPGs.

 

[StueyDuck]

They are all pretty mid as the kids would say.

Dying light is at least a known quantity. Id go with that.

You better off just saving your money though, go treat yourself to something outside instead

[GymWolf]

All 3 games are 7\10 and very different, impossible to chose without knowing what you like.

Wait for stalker to be completely fixed, wait for a discount for ow2, the beast during black friday is probably the cheaper one so you could go with it.

 

[Gonzito]

Great thread! I think you should play Final Fantasy X.

 

[pudel]

On pc or console?

Would recommend Stalker2 for pc (with mods). For console I can only imagine that it must be really hard....because of the game economy.

 

[Oberstein]

Isn't it better to be stuck between 3 women?

 

[Branded]

I've heard good things about The Beast. Stalker 2 though seems to suck the big one:



Lots of empty space with nothing to do, no A-Life, bugs galore, etc.

That video is old, the game has had at least three major patches since.

 

[Humdinger]

Forget what other people tell you. Go with the game that seems the most interesting to you.
