I'm really struggling to understand the point of this piece of content. This was more akin to GOTY discussion. Brad seemed to be the only one willing to have detailed conversation about the story here, everyone else sounded like they were just trying to get through to the end. I love you all, but this was unnecessary.
A side note - I can't honestly fathom complaining about getting too much of a good game. If you feel it has pacing problems, that's fine, yes it could be better in that regard. If the game is overstaying its welcome, stop playing. This "game is too long" critique is going to end up with developers catering to the ADD crowd and we'll end up with 6 hour story campaigns. Most people are not looking to blow through a game just to move on to the next one.
The area with the stalkers I found was much easier to go aggressive there, rather than out-sneak them. They are easily melee'd down as long as you don't get swarmed. I set up a safe area in that first room with explosive mines, threw a bottle and let them come to me. Liberal use of molotovs. It was much more satisfying.
Love this game! I hope you come around to it by the end Brad.
