>>695154337>1600 steam reviews almost 700 negative. Its going to approach 50-60% soon.they're going to say it's all russians cry about how the war is at fault for the game being shit, pay a bunch of streamers to say it's actually good and get away with it
>>695154337>people who have midrange PC's can't even hit 60fps low settings even with framegenI have rx 6600 and 12700kf and with FSR, I get 40-50 fps on high settings 60fps.Some stutters here and there.I don't understand the point of lying.
>>695155915>60fps>*1080p
>>695155915>with FSR
>>695154337a 3080 does not have access to dlss framegen so i have no clue what the fuck you're talking about
>>695155915literally nothing that you just said sounds good
>>695154337The devs are retarded imbecile. They made vertical mouse movement slower than horizontal per default without giving the option to change it. I'm even mad that I spent time pirating it.
I run this game at 1440p in Ultra Performance mode on low settings on my 2070S.I used to run these games at higher resolution on my 2007 laptop
>>695158089you sound like an angry little faggot
>>695158602I am because what fucking retard that calls himself a game developer does that? The war has broken their minds beyond repair.
>>695156142You can use a mod to enable AMD's version in any game that supports Nvidia's version. Its obviously not as good, and the ghosting is more noticeable, but it works.
>>695155915>I get 40-50 fps on high settings 60fps.
>>695155646Stolker 2 is winning, vatnik.
>>695154337Dont you just love the console style UI too? I personally just love not being able to disable motion blur or being able to rebind keys! Not to mention the ubisoft style orange/blue hud markers and quest log pop ups!
>>695154337Stolker, go to the genie, we need more ATACMS, Biden... Slava...Ukrainie... Biden... we need ze money...
>>695159608what do you mean putinlover stalker always followed a console-first approach
>>695155915>Can't even hit 60fps on upscaled 1080p>Pretending that this is acceptable performanceI know you don't want to feel like you got ripped off but jesus
you've had a decade to come to terms with stalker 2 being mid.
SLAVA UKRAINA
starting about 4 years ago games have become wildly unoptomized.this shit doesn't even look good and you want me to have the best parts on the market to run it at 60FPS?lol no.
putin lostrussia lost
>>695160806Thanks nafotroons.Very informative and subject related to the game Stalker 2
>>695160806NAFO game for NAFO troons, who would've expected it.
>>695155915>I get 40-50 fps on high settings 60fpswhat?
>>695160962who is tranie?
Advanced ragdoll simulations require a lot of cpu processing power.
>>695161173sovl
>>695160962she is so cute OwOAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>695161173what buttons are for leaning? these retardo devs didn't use Q and E.
>>695154337Just turn on FSR 3.1 native or quality moron, just like that chinese monkey game.Yes its retarded that this is the state of gaming, but its not that bad, better than a PS5.
>>695161378>it's better than nothingwow, anon, really?
For me the worst part is that it's a 2007 game repackages as a 2024 game.>hurr you've never been a stalker funno i never was, fuck off.I did play shadows in 2007 back when i was in school.This is the same exact shit. Why make something so unoriginal? It's like finding some old gaming magazines or some other old junk from your childhood in the attic. It's fun to skim through them but you kind know that it's old ass junk that has no real value.
>>695161293I believe it is automatic when you aim near the edge of a surface (kinda like how far cry 3 onwards handles it) but i've not played the game so this is only hearsay on my part.
>>695154337they are in a war anon pls understand
>>695154337Poorfag cope
I could play this game via family sharing right now.1080ti5900x32gb cl16 3600mhz ramit's probably not worth wasting the bandwidth and ssd write cycles, right?
>>695161727I see, another point to add to the fact that it is a console-first game.
>>695161669because they wanted money smoothbrain
>>695161293Z and C and I think.You can rebind it.
>>695161825the 1080ti is the 11gb version
>>695161173This looks like a game from like 2014. Is this really Stalker 2?
>>695158227Are you saying the performance is that bad? What cpu are you rocking?
Sorry chud you should have bought the limited edition stalker 2 4070 ti
>>695161669>I'm mad because a Stalker game plays like a stalker game
so besides the shit performances, is it good? is it fun?
>>695161859It always was going to be a console first game. A game of that scale and budget has to be unless it is a truly niche genre that has pc autists willing to drop mega money on it for a long time.
>>695162079I'm enjoying it. Just got to the first settlement, started meeting people and doing side quests. Just looted a nice TOZ break action and I'm gonna take it to the tech for repairs.
>>695162076it's okay to think that a certain game is dogshiti can understand that why you could feel upset about my opinion though if you're emotionally attached to the franchise
>>695162079have you seen how many bullets a bloodsucker takes? it's retarded
>>695162237Sounds like a blast anon
>not able to rebind keyswhat the fuck
>>695162198It's jewish behaviour and a shame seeing a PC staple go this route.
>>695162549did he do it
>>695162549ARE YOU FOR REAL
>>695162549Why would you ever need to do that on a controller!?
>bloodsuckers etc are just annoyances you run away from in order to not waste ammoopen worlds were a mistake
>>695161981Ryzen 3600, but outside of the major camp areas, the CPU manages to hover just above 60 fps.The GPU usage on the other hand really goes hard and ultra performance looks like ass in the daylight.
>>695154337it runs bad on a fucking 7800x3D? how?
>>695162947Obviously the traversal stutter is still there, but I would be willing to accept it, previous STALKER games also had it with a-life online radius.
>>695162972Buy a better hardware poorbro
Anyone know if it supports HDR? That would be cool for night time.
>>695162947>>695163125Hmmm just asking because I'm also rocking a 2070s but I've got a i7 13700K so I'm expecting slightly better performance.
>>695162972bloated game with millions of assets in ue5 with no optimization
>>695162079It's SCAM from nazi devs.
>>695154337Nah, steam shitters are eating this shit up.But the game really has no business of being 160GB or having performance issues. It literally looks like something that could have been released 5, even 10 years ago.
>>695154337>stuttersWorks on my Intel machine.
>>695165082How big is the map?Quality and quantity of sound files?How much voiced dialogue is in the game?And are the polygon meshes overbloated?
>>695164193At 150GB and shitty internet, it sounds like it's not even worth pirating. Modern devs are really outdoing themselves.
>>695165696You really shouldn't lie so obviously.
>>695162972Quit being poor>He hasn't upgraded to a 9800x3d the very first daySorry. But yearly 3k investment is the minimum to play on 1080p 120+FPS now.
>>695162079its about what you'd expect from a second world country in the middle of a war
slavslop version of cyberpunk, maybe in 4 years it will be good
>>695154337>playing it on a Steam Deck>25-30 FPS everything on low>no crashesImagine paying $3000 for a PC lmao
Is this game good or dogshit? My expectation since I heard about the game initially was always that it was going to be dogshit trash.
>>695159608to rebind keys, go to controls and click 'keyboard controls' or whatever it's called, it's a greyed out tab that brings you to the keybinds>had to rebind the Q and E to F1 and F2 respectively because i kept using items trying to lean
>>695166267most people cant run it so no idea, besides the fact that the ai is dogshit compared to the old stalker games.
Thanks for betatesting, I'll enjoy the stable release on PS5 down the line.
>>695159608You can do both those things -,-RusRetard spotted
>>695162237Yeah, same, just doing some side missions in the first area and honestly it just feels like stalker in a new map with graphical upgrades.
>>695162079Yea it's good but holy fuck you need to be mega rich to able to play this game at stable fps
>>695154337>Unless you smother the game in TAA and sharpness its unbearable to look at because of how pixelated everything is (No FXAA, No SMAA, Nothing but half baked AA solutions and framegen)This is my biggest issue so far. Pretty funny/dumb considering AA was always borked on X-ray engine too. At 1440p with TAA on and sharpening at 40% it looks... okay? Pretty annoying oversight. Other than that the technical side has been alright for me for the first couple hours, but my rig is beefy.
>>695166321here, click the highlighted keyboard settings and it will show the keybinds and you can change them
this asmongold guy has tried to compile shaders for 200 tries nowgreat game
>>695154675Stalcraft sucks after the bar; an argument can be made for the army warehouses, but the north just sucks and feels phoned in.
>>695162079No It's fucking not here are some of the issues I've encountered with bugs>NPC voice lines not triggering while theres clear subtitles or talking>Random combat music triggering out of nowhere in and out so while walking, so buggy that I had to turn it off completely.>NPC's tposing while shooting or tposing just randomly and then going back to normal>NPC's sounding close when really they are 100ft away, surround audio is just fuckedThe game is a broken pile of shit AND on top of that it can't even hold 60fps good with decent hardware. It's a pile of shit
>>695161173Absolutely love how slav devs manage to program eurojank even into industry standard engines like UE5.
>>695161173even the .webm is stuttery
>>695161173holy shit, cyberpunk kino is back on the menu.
>>695154337Maybe developers should stop trying to make use of retarded gimmicks and optimize their games properly.
my first time playing i was getting 50-60 fpsand then i died now the game is stuck on 17 fpsanyone else have this problem ?
UE STRIKES AGAIN
>>695162079not really.The characters are all boring and flat. The face animations and textures are pretty bad and lifeless. The quests they give feel about as deep as MMORPG fetch quests. Some enemies are bullet sponges while human AI's will just spot you from 100m through bushes and high grass and beam you through it. The stealth doesnt really work in the game. The visuals are ok at best, on par with games from 10 years ago, but runs like shit. All the UI is made for console, like the radial weapon select menu. If you want to play the game at its best i'd probably wait a few months for mods.
>>695168657its because they used unreal engine and also made it for xbox at the same time
>>695166267It is a buzzword but the game really is soulless compared to the original.Worse UI, horrible voice acting, voiced protag, added extra animations that just waste time, combat music during shootouts etc etc.The only thing that makes it remotely feel like a Stalker game is that it takes place in the zone.
>>695161173SUCH IS THE LIFE IN THE ZONE
>Running it in ultrawide with a 7900x and a 4070>DLSS on balanced>Manages 85-90fps most of the time with a rare dip down to the 60s>Game feels and plays good>Didnt even have to buy the game>Mfw doomers who haven't even played it and cod kiddies have nothing better to do but bitch about itI think they did fucking great, feels like SoC with dramatically less jank. I don't care for the weapon wheel though.

>>695170707>Ultrawide
>>695154337
Why are all UE5 games so fucking blurry and fucking smear all over the screen when you move around? I hate modern gaming so fucking much.
>>695171194lmao taa
>>695155915I can have "stable" 70 fps 1080p with my rx5700xt using FSR medium/high setting, but game environment looks like pixelated shit when you are outside an try to enjoy horizon view
so we are learning that old broken games are acceptable but new broken games are slop right?
>>695154337SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP
what annoys me the most is how awful the popin and dithering in the environment is even at nighttime

>>695162079Same exact shit as the first 3 games but you don't need 5 mods to actually be able to something. Plus better graphics.... sorta. I hate UE5.
Got a 9700k and a RTX2080Wish me luck, boys.

>>695181324that's because you're playing with fsr and frame generation, you're actually playing at half those fps
>>695164318wtf I love stalker now
>>695183739runs fine on my machine i don't give a fuck
>>695163703so many retards in this thread if it couldnt run on a 3090 7800x3d it wouldnt run at all
>>695184087that it works well on your pc, it doesn't take away from the reality that you are actually playing at 40-50 fps to get to 100+ with frame generation
>>695181324>>695184087same thing people said about cyberpunk 2077, and look what happened to that game at launch.
It's the UE5 effect. The massive amount of coping going on to justify this garbage peformance is quite telling desu. Since when is barely scraping by with 60fps acceptable?
>>695154337Why is the voice acting so fucking weird?
it's crazy that after years of selling "4k ready cards" UE5 has sent us back to fucking sub 1080p againpeople are literally upscaling this shit from 720 to make it playable fucking kill Epic Games
>>695185654Ue5 and re engine are the biggest fucking mistakes of modern game devs
>>695184757I have 80 fps with my frankenstein'd budget rig at 1440p. Which is better than a console.
>>695186513Oh and here's a webm.And anyways, with stuff like Talos Principle 2 I get 140 fps which is also UE5, this is just a typical GSC release.
>>695185654Fortnite hits 144 fps without even needing a top-end rig. The Coalition is basically the only other studio who knows how the engine works.
>>695184489you mean the cyberpunk that became one of the best game of the decade after thorough patching?
>>695154337I have a 4080 and a 5800X3D. 4K epic settings/DLSS quality and frame gen is a solid 90 FPS most of the time. It isn’t perfect and I think there’s a memory leak issue at certain points but it’s certainly not unplayable or game breaking and the game looks nice the majority of the time with the exception of some character models being dated. Maybe zoomers have just been rotted by YouTube eceleb memes about performance but I played Call of Pripyat in 2010 on a laptop at like 28 FPS. Janky single player games that focus on atmosphere don’t need to be run at 150 FPS to be enjoyable for me.
>>695173650The is literally a carbon copy of the old stalker games, anyone who doesn't like this was merely pretending to like old games. Every time I see someone praise old games they always pick the most dumbed down toddler slop of that generation, it's always been a meaningless infantile remark to me.
>>695185539Someone told me to change the VA to Ukrainian immediately and I did, sounds fine.
>>695173650i'm having a blast with stalker 2. it's exactly like playing the old games on release and couldn't be happier. the only people who are complaining are numberfags who care more about performance stats than playing actual games
>>695154337Reminder that there's already performance fix mods on nexus. I downloaded one and already got like 5-10 more FPS
>>695161669I FUCKING WISH. This game is a mimic of the original stalker games. It pretends to be them but misses the nuances. IT DOESNT EVEM HAVE FUCKING A LIFE THEY DID THIS SHIT IN 2007 (TWO THOUSAND SEVEN)
>>695187907>IT DOESNT EVEM HAVE FUCKING A LIFEYes it does
>>695188031post some examples
>>695188031Ah, yes, my friend. I remember these exact kind of moments in my old playthroughs.
>>695188140The devs literally said it has a-life, it even has the a-life quest system which is the sole purpose for a-life existing
>>695188172Yeah that does happen in old stalker. A lot.
>>695188031no, it fucking doesnt.
I wonder if they put all their profit straight into Bitcoin since the price is rising right now
>>695188451>Yeah that does happen in old stalker. A lot.Oh, thank God. You're just baiting, you're not actually that retarded. Whew.
>>695188458https://www.destructoid.com/stalker-2-dev-shares-important-a-life-mod-kit-details/
>>695188383the devs literally lied
>>695188572nigger play the gameit spawns random NPCs in a radius around the player and they aren't persistent
>>695188530Rest at the gates at the edge of Cordon for a day and see what happens. I have 500 hours on SoC, you have no idea what you're talking about lol
>>695188172>>695188451>>695188458The spawning system clearly has a broken radius relative to the player but this should hypothetically be a simple fix, the basic function has always been the same which is the game is dynamically populated with mutants and humans of different factions which clash and interact as the player traverses through the map. They just need to increase the distance at which NPCs spawn from the player and improve how the triggers work. This is new to the game because they’ve never had a single unified map that was this large, the maps in the older games were always very small instances separated by loading screens so the AI system was never too taxed in regards to how spawns would be spaced out
So why would I ever play this over the original besides for le better graffix?
>>695188572a-life spawns across a whole map, each spawn has a task. Stalker 2 does not have thisits a small radius around the playerdefending this awful garbage shit and making bullshit claims about the a-life without even knowing how the original a-life worked is sad and pathetic
>>695188672it won't be an easy fix because the offline AI outside that radius doesn't exist the same way it used toyou can test it yourself super easily by looking at a group of stalkers in the distance, running away for a few seconds, and running backSometimes they are straight up replaced by mutant spawns because the game is just grabbing groups from a spawn table and dropping them at predetermined points
>>695188648I have 2100 hours in SoC across vanilla and multiple mods, and have literally made mods myself.
>>695186913Wtf I love Stalker2 now? BASED
>>695188735Dude within an hour of playing stalker 2 I had firefights going off in the distance. You're just wrong lol. You didn't play the game so why even make retarded posts like this?
>>695188921you dumbfuck retard, the random spawns still allow random fights but they aren't persistent NPCs anymore
>>695188735you didnt know what a life was till this week
>>695189026nice projectingsuch an absolute badass
>>695189026t. redditornot him and I've seen no evidence of the game having offline A-life so far.
>>695189105>>695189078>muh sacred a life code!yeah a bunch of slavs made the perfect ai in their shitty jank game 20 years ago. OR you guys are just annoying faggots
>>695188735since you noticed this too, have you tried any tests yourself yet?just stuff like running up to some travelling stalkers and checking their names, then running about 100 feet away and trying to find them againI also noticed that the random fights aren't from 2 groups running into each other, it's spawning both enemies on top of each other to guarantee the fight happens and you hear it. very weird
>>695188972How long is this gunna continue until it becomes a boy who cried wolf scenario? You've been spamming the same retarded webms and posts all day and keep getting btfo more and more. Just go back to /r/gamingcirclejerk. You're an annoying faggot who doesn't play video games.
>>695189196what a terrible postI'm complaining about this because whether or not the feature is in the game, it's not currently functioningit's my favorite feature in the original stalker games. It's literally the sole reason I played those games at all.I am disappointed and you don't seem to have even anecdotal evidence that the system is working correctly while I've seen it fuck up multiple times already
>>695189329How did you find the time to play it when you've been shitposting nonstop since release and making multiple threads to fuck up and divide discussion like an annoying prostitute?
>>695189402I'm taking a break you fucking freak there's more than 1 guy on 4chanI've made like 5 or 6 posts
>>695189439You've been posting all day. Your input is not needed.
>>695189181Or modern devs just aren't good enough to do what a bunch of slavs squatting in a basement did in 2007
>>695189474genuine projection from the guy who is fighting a personal battle in his mindI made this post >>695189183 because it's been bugging me and I want to know what other people think. I'm not trying to say>it's not in the game>it isback and forth, I'm trying to talk about this bullshit I am currently experiencing with my gameare you telling me your NPCs are more persistent?

>>695160806Yep a majority of the positive reviews are basically that. All seething at Russia and cooing over Jewkraine. Not single mention about the game. So organic
>>695189640>get called out for being a redditor>start posting reddit screencapswew lad
>>695154337So, just like Stalker 1.Nice, it feels like home.

>>695189805hope you're getting paid for this retard. these are my only posts itt>>695189105>>695189640
>>695162079I only played a couple hours so I might not have the full picture but I don't really want to play more despite having played the originals more than a decade ago.I know you said besides the performance, but it really is jarring how looking in the wrong direction tanks performance hard for seemingly no reason.combat doesn't feel great, there are some cool guns but I never felt like I was having fun with them. I kept accidently consuming items when I wanted to lean, and looting afterwards is not exactly riveting gameplay.don't play it with the english voices, they're pretty damn bad. felt like I was in a californian high school theater production.enemies spawn randomly, and if you load a save there'll probably be different stuff happening which kind of ruins the illusion that the zone is alive.lighting at night was atrocious. it's either floodlight by moonlight or vantablack, no inbetween.very little was interesting in exploration, but that might be a symptom of having played a dozen games like it in the last decade and a half.
>>695183665is that even a bug? isn't that just a poltrigeist?
>>695189852Except stalker 1 was an indie game and this is AAA.
>>695189895>calls me a redditor>then he starts posting reddit screencaps and linking to reddit threadsyeah, go ahead and log off for me. you're done here.

>>695190267Xbox version has A-Life?
>>695188648>Rest>vanilla SoC?
>>695189983>indie game>THQ
>>695190313see>>695190141
>>695155915>>695156087>>695169916It runs faster on native actually. I have RX6700 it runs 80-90 without FSR and shit (50-60 with that)
>>695166129Czech Republic? Like every patriotic Khokhol, the devs prefer to live everywhere else except Ukraine.
op sounds fake. I have 4070/5800x3D. Im getting 100-120fps mostly epic with balanced dlss and framegen
>>695183665this looks much better than stalker 2, not even memeing
>>695158602Worthless gay post you lost
>>695191137That's stretching it but I miss how sharp games used to look look.
>>695189962In this case it was a bug
Modern games look bad and run poorly.You're not getting my money.
>>695154337>d-disregard the game has serious issues b-because slava ukryinyi oksee this is why everyone hates sjw's with a passion. the cancer of the modern world. you arent helping anyone by gobbling slavcock on reddit timmy
>>695191081You haven't even left the tutorial retard, you're playing a linear game right now.
>>695154337Lol my 13600k 7900xtx is gonna have a bad time thank fuck I got a massive cooler to stick on my 9800x3d through Aussie summer lol and nerds on g said 480mm was overkill
>>695161173Visually this looks worse than tarkov and metro wtf went wrongKek glad I wasted 400gb pirating this crap
>>695181179Just pirate the gog version you fucking retard.
>>695162079The consensus is that it's basically the first 3 games more metrofied on a ue5 engine with slightly less mods and shit needed to play the game bog stock
>>695192092I would say it's more like a hybrid of metro exodus and anomaly, but on one big map with bad performance the mod stuff will come with time but probably never as substantial as the OGs
>5700xt>Ryzen 5600x>1440p monitorHow fucked am I?
>>695192216medium settings with "perfomance" DLSS will probably get you 50-60 fps
>>695192216moderately fuckedupgrade to x3d soon (5700 is dirt cheap), then upgrade gpu when you stop being a poorfag
are there any dynamic jobs like getting a specific item or hunting monsters?or is all that stuff non repeatable side quests
>>695192283>upgrade gpuThere is no point since I dont play AAA trash anyway. Guess I will wait for performance mods/ini tweaks.
>>695192482>how fucked is my setup if I want to play modern AAA trash?>nah I'm not upgrading, I don't play modern AAA trash anywaykek
>>695192523>slavjank>AAABrain damage?
There is not a single AAA game that came out this year that is better than this.
>>695192656what the fuck is stalker 2 but AAA? big budget for the game, big budget for marketing, made under microsoft, runs on consoles and pc, even has a (single token) nigger and a woman
>>695188648Well what happens, anon?Original promises were up to "NPCs can finish the game for you", obviously it was axed.It was dumbed down to the point "npc simulates moving and fighting, you can stumble onto stalker that got killed by dogs", unfortunately there also exists a cleanup system to prevent crashes, so it can all get cleaned up before you even get there.The entire franchise is broken promises, mods attempting to fulfill broken promises, and bunch of books written by retards.
>>695191869Im already doing side missions in Zalyssa anon
Is A-life in?
>>695192786no, shit spawns around you like it's cyberpunk
>>695192769>slavjank>AAALet me guess, you also think shitterpunk 2077 is AAA.
>>695192851Wtf? Why are devs incompetent?
>>695192863
>>695192863anon, what the fuck do you think AAA is?
>>695154337I'm playing with almost no lag on my 3060 12gb 1080p medium settings, I could probably raise some stuff too. Although the game is playable for me it's kinda crazy to me that I can play Assassins Creed Vahlhalla with maxed out settings with zero lag and it looks waaay better then Stalker 2.
>>695193047>almost no lag on my 3060 12gb 1080p medium settingswaht cpu?i'm downloading rn and have the same gpu
>>695193076Some kind of intel i5 2.8ghz I think. You'll encounter a little bit of stuttering here or there if there's a 3 way fight with lots of shit going on but for the most part I can casually head shot people.
>>695193047>>695193186>budget gpu from early 2021 + ancient cpu>runs well on medium>other people get 40fps on 4090what the fuck is this game lol
>>695193289>40fps on 4090they're trying to run it in 4k with RTX and everything on ultra
>>695154337I'll wait another year or 2 for this game to be on sale and fix.
>>695193289People trying to run the game at 4K/1440p with every setting at Ultra with motion blur and every post processing effect enabled, probably.
>>695154337>4k/60 on series Xpc kids and their toasters lol
>>695166057>At 150GBwtf???
>>695193524>with motion blurpeople actually like this shit?
ukraine lost
>>695168396Is this the day one patch?
>>695193576game is 169Gb in size
There is no purpose for these threads. It's impossible to trust anything anyone says about this game on an anonymous forum. I've heard everything from it's a great game that runs perfectly to it's a broken mess that installs malware on your PC
>>695193634Game is great, it's just salty russians going sour grapes.
>>695193689>sour grapesgame is free
>>695193634
>>695193632That is fucking mental. Its no wonder devs don't bother to optimise anything anymore when retards keep rewarding this shit.
>Have a 4070 Mobile>getting 70-80 FPS on max with DLSS Qualitysucks to suck I guess rip bozo
>>695188172grim, how can you have an alive and interesting world when AI just pops in out of nowhere.....
Are there any new mutants in the game? Since they threw a bloodsucker and a poltergeist at you right out the gate I'm hoping there's some new spooky stuff later
>>695162437Shotguns for mutants always.
>>695193728Literally illegal in r*ssia, lmao.
The performance is much better than other recent launchs, it runs as well as Veilguard and that game was lauded as the most optimized game ever made by Digital Foundry, I don't get the hate
>>695193634It runs alright. Only issue I had was the game slowing down when I open inventory/map
>>695193634You can pick what seems more credible or, well, play the game. But that's not for the faint of heart. Just thinking about playing videogames gives me the shivers.
>>695154337Of you have xbox and want to play get the subscription, works perfectly there, kb&m supported
Nice graphics dude
has anyone tried to run this game on a 4060Ti?
>>695154337Oh no no no no
>>695194751Nice "grass" lmao
>>695193289the "running well" crowd is not mentioning they're upscaling it from something like 720p 40fps
>>695155915>sub 140fps in a first person shooterJesus christ that sounds fucking awful to play.
>>695195165
>>695193634The game is great, Kremlin lobotomized a fuckton of people online to say that it's not good. All these threads are raided by ziggers.
>>695193634It's UE5. This is all whayou need to know. And shaders are compiled every single time you launch the application.Thanks, bye.
>>695159608far cry/dying lighg 2/atomic hyirt/stokor 2 could bemade by the same developer and id totally believe it, slop trash
>>695181502and the animations, especially healing or aiming down sights
>>695178179half of positive reviews are muh war bad, upaine good
>>695196558And half the neg reviews are all the vatniks. So things are perfectly balanced.
>>695194831Did russia win in this universe or something. Why do they all look like mongoloids
>>695154337It's very positive right now, if only this would serve as an example as to why posting steam reviews or steam charts should be a bannable offense.
>>695196723>he bought into propaganda and thinks ukrainians are totally different from russians bruh, they're literally the same shit
>>695196708>can't buy game in Russia>IT'S DA RUSSIANS, TRUST ME GOYIMjews, jews never change
>>695197002>he thinks russians and ziggers only live in russia
>>695197386why would they live anywhere else
>>695197418Given the choice, would you live in Russia, or litterally anywhere else?
>>695197418Because it's a shithole?It's very convenient to love ziggerstan while not actually living in it kek
>>695197418because russia is a shithole?in a similar vein there's over a million of nationalistic kebabs in germany because turkey is a shithole and they don't want to live there
>>695197418they don't have to be russians, there's a fuckton of russian apologists and sympathisers all over the globe, many of whom are paid by the kremlin, like that recent scandal with a bunch of right leaning influencers being wined and dined by russians to twist the narrative
>>695195658Nice cope, poorfag. 60 fps feels like shit after playing in 140fps.I was using 144hz monitors 10 years ago, and ever since Ive refused to play anything that runs below that. And surprise surprise, I've dodged all the slop when doing so.
>>695193634its stalker, do you like stalker?
>>695197541I'm sure trump is controlled by arch wizard putin too kek
>>695193634it's stalker, do you like stalker or do you like ziggers?
>>695162549>>695162757you can, you just have to press that one sub menu in keybinds or whatever it doesn't really tell you that you can do it
>>695193689>>695194592>>695195872>>695197580>>695197816NAFOtroons >>695196168>>695194501Ziggers
Here’s a tough redpill to swallow for y’all. The game is too old school for the modern audience. People don’t have the patience for this kind of gameplay.
>>695197949just fix the fucking bugs
>>695197949it plays like average fps slop for consoles, what thef fuck are you talking about
>>695197949not at all if it was old school the game would actually be good and not just farcry with stalker paint
>>695197997but that's the main charm of stalker games
why is there scripted cutscenes in this game all the time
>>695198082probably because they are motion captured
>>695196723They are the same people, you don't become a new ethnic group in 50 years.
>>695196818Ukraine is a white christian ethonationalist nazi state, /pol/ told me so
My friend without ssd runs it smooth like butterI can't play for 10 minutes without crashingIT IS NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>695194068Yeah I haven't overplayed myself on og STOLKORS so I'm just going to go back to playing that. Still have some modding guide pic left for a vanilla+ experience and I'm going to just take my time soaking in the zone. Can't even be fucked to buy it for $3 or whatever it is on GoG just so these SOVLLESS devs don't get my shekels.
>>695187012>>695190151why so much shill? the game had performance problems, its gog version had problems, and there were errors and bugs everywhere, only liars are those who say that the game had no problems on pchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJkFr4zZSgEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXLohSvTKpghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5UdkFDJhxAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB6XyErBswg
>>695197997Fix all the bugs except the animation bugs that make people do 360s before sitting down or stand back to back while talking shit is so good
>>695186513>>695186591at 720p and 40 fps native with frame generation>>695183669
>>695199021Isn't it fucked up that people spent years buying cards marketed as "4k ready" just for unreal 5 to set everyone back to sub 1080p?That's fucking crazy to me
>>695199121If you fell for the 4K marketing scam you are a retard by default.
>>695199204I still have a 2080ti and 1440p monitor, I'm just saying it's weird that the resolution race ended so suddenly and became all about upscaling tiny fucking native res
>>695198926Oh yeah, some of it was really bad too, like complete unsalvageable savefile corruption.
>>695154337>vertical mouse movement is slower than horizontal by default>no option to change itSlava Ukraini
its crazy how a literal warzone, and your programmers being picked off by literal drones has less of an impact on the quality of your game then deciding to use UE5
You payed $60 + tip to beta test the game
>75-80% review scorei wonder how much it would be without the ukraine bonus
>>695200624press start australia gave it 6.5 and youtubers like shill up and gmanlives gave it bad reviews
Will my 3070 do okay?
>>695200583czech republic is a warzone?
>>695200624probably 25/30%. grim, but still twice as good as realistic scores for us games. unless the score factors in bearded women, i guess.
>>695200610Imagine paying for UE slop that released on GOG day one, lol. lmao even.
>>695200734honestly, i was mostly shitposting because i knew they moved, but...isnt....czech republic a warzone? sorry, im american. that just sounds like one of those places thats always at war?
>>695200610It's €70
>>695200816no its not
>>695198926I played it after they patched it and "fixed" it and it would STILL flatline for no fucking reason.
Are the complaints purely performance? Stalker ran on ass PCs in its day (if I remember correctly which I may not), why aim so high?
>>695201165This is a 2024 release, not an excuse. Other ue5 games run better, so why not this one
This game is broken and all criticism is deflected as Russians astroturfing. I hope this is exclusive to just this game and this isn't what the future of gaming is going to be like.
>>695200624Many reviews in Ukrainian also got replies from the devs, the prophet guy in particular is active in the review comments.
>>695201251lollipop chainsaw remaster had a similar phenomenon occur where the substandard quality of the remaster was excused by people who selected the game as an anti-woke totem and it made it more difficult to find useful reviews that could give a straight answer about the condition of the game
>>695201367Imma be honest with u Putin, nuke when ready.
Why would you play this mess over Fallout 4/76? Just for the Soviet shithole aesthetic?
>>695201547People get gaslit into liking it because the og stalker was god.
>>695200610You did. I play on xbox and its in perfect state
>>695201105apologies to the czech republic, then. maybe? i know some countries are really patriotic and being at war is a cool thing, so maybe czech being at peace is a bad thing? geopolitics or whatever its called is just weird
>>695201547>Just for the Soviet shithole aesthetic?That's a pretty good selling point though, and anomalies are a fascinating addition. It's unfortunate Stalker 2 performs worse than Fallout 4 with a hundred mods.

>mutant dogs are more annoying>bloodsuckers are more annoying and bullshit>burers are more annoying and bullshitthey're just not fun to fight, especially the bloodsuckers. They hit you, make you drop to the ground, and disappear before you can deal damage. They do this endlessly, so your best bet it to tank their damage by constantly using medkits (which you do anyway when being shot at) and shooting at anything that moves until they're dead. And typically there's always more than one.The environment is very same-y. A lot of the forests and grasslands and swamplands seem to repeat indefinitely with no interesting landmarks or things to do so traversing from mission to mission (which you do a lot) is very boring. You're basically just holding shift for 8 whole minutes and drinking the occasional energy drink to bring back your stamina. They made the world map much bigger than the previous Stalker games but added nothing in them except bushes and trees and the occasional artifact.You'd think they'd add a vehicle to negate this shit. A jeep? A buggy? A motorcycle? All this game has done is made me want to replay Shadow of Chernobyl, and that's what I'm going to do now.
>>695201950>They hit you, make you drop to the ground, and disappear before you can deal damage.They can actually stunlock you. You maybe lying on the ground, but then they'll stun you again, and you'll play the drop-to-the-ground animation despite being on the ground, but afaik it only gets that bad when you're fighting more than 1 of them. What's more annoying about them when fighting 1 on 1 is that your weapons don't really stagger them at all.>mutant dogs are more annoyingThese fucks are so annoying now, literally no self-preservation, they're a non-issue in the original because if they felt like you're more powerful than them, they'd just fuck off, but now they keep attacking you anyway.
>>695201950Just jump on top of a car or any object that elevates you. The AI shits itself trying to find you and you can pick them off with ease or just wait to get your stamina back and run away.
Already refunded it. Guess this was my lesson.Will gladly pirate this mess and wait for mods in few months
>>695189181just copy the fucking code, its part of the XRAY engine, its not fucking difficult, any CS undergrad can do that.Modern devs are simply lazy and retarded.
>>695202808lame. sjhoulda sent them the artifact 2.0 pasta
