More realistic graphics don't make a game better. Who gives a shit?

i think it does but there are diminishing returns and it wont save a bad game.

The atmosphere which is a big drawing point to these games is degraded, is over 100GB and is a worse product than the previous entries in the series. Not to mention the AI issues that were pointed out in the video, since you didn't mention those you probably didn't even watch it.

The faction thing is especially puzzling as factions play more or less zero role in STALKER 2. I guess one faction does crumble during the course of the main quest, and there is a bandit leader you can kill if you want. But this ain't really what anyone would call "faction based gameplay", nor is it close to what they're suggesting during the deep-dive.
