IIRC I still hadn't figured out how to use a lot of the stuff you can get access to (like those oils for repairing guns or something), but I definitely welcome the huge variety of immersive gear you can find, and the way everything has more consequence on gameplay, forcing you to spend more time at the bar weighing your options between sorties. When alone you're pretty much forced to rely on killing people with the element of surprise, though something else I found is that the same might happen to you, because (finally) there are no checks or boundaries to people just shooting you in the head on sight, and most of the lame distinguishing features between stalker and bandit seem to have been erased with the wild array of skins.
Now, I was pretty scared and could maybe kill off one or two guys from the sidelines but it was quite the team effort alongside my comrades to eventually pull through. The human vs human fighting got a lot more intense and fun, seeing as no longer are you running around popping bandages and easily slaughtering dozens of enemies.

It took a while to learn how to play the game at the beginning (aka. I must admit, I was in love with the atmosphere from the very first frame onwards. I got to try it for a few hours before my old computer bit the bullet.
