This 83-year-old Japanese erotic game producer playing Stalker 2 while blasting a cig is an impossibly big mood
For all its rapidly respawning NPCs, despawning monsters, broken quests, and general bugginess that remind us what we mean when we talk about 'eurojank,' Stalker 2 is an ambitious, at times brilliant, game that definitely has its audience. An audience willing to overlook, or even embrace, brokenness when it's in service to an atmospheric survival sandbox. Naturally Stalker 2 is popular in its home country, and the series has always had a strong following in eastern Europe. One demographic I didn't expect Stalker 2 to cover, however, is Japanese octogenarians who happen to be presidents of erotic game studios.
