All I want to know is if there's a good game underneath that just needs bugfixes or if it's fundamentally mediocre. I can't get a straight answer to this question.

bullshit. it's been running fine for me and i've been having a ton of fun with it

>>695182437
I've played around an hour and a half. It's a decent game. The loot system is much more fleshed out and better IMO than stalker anomaly loot everything off corpse approach and every single house is empty. Graphics are better but the performance has no business being this fucking bad.

it just doesn't run as well on nvidia cards as it does on AMD. sorry you bought the wrong brand

>>695182350
How bad is your game where even the notorious industry shill like Shitup isnt recommending it.

>>695182495
>t. 3090

Some of us have mid range PC's like RX 6700. I can play elden ring at high settings 120fps 1080p. There's no reason why stalker is sub 60fps especially since I'm well above the minimum and on low

>>695182637
i play on an rx 6600xtand i get 60fps most of the time. it drops down to 50fps sometimes but that's exactly how the original games played on my lower tier hardware when those games came out. i fundamentally don't buy this whole "stalker 2 runs like shit!!!" thing

elden ring came over two years ago. a 6700 was mid range in 2022 when elden ring came out

this is 2024, the 6700 is no longer mid range, and the game we're discussing is STALKER 2

It's literally impossible to get native Russian VA into the country right now, the Ukrainian dub is also very phoned in because, according to the developer, most of the talent pool is in the war, has left the country, or is not working right now.

incredible false flag attempt

>>695185401
It's not impossible since they're based in Czechia now, but yeah, it'd be exceedingly difficult to find someone talented enough that isn't preoccupied and is willing to fly over to work for a Ukrainian company on a Ukrainian game that's within their budget.

>>695183815
That sounds like cope to distract from the fact that like 75% of the people who bought the game can't get 1080p60fps high settings

Blame normies. I've tested multiple friends and family members for awareness or understanding of performance. I've let them try multiple games on multiple different graphical settings, high/low framerates, native/downscaled, etc. Almost none of them even noticed when a game dropped from 60 FPS to sub-30. They couldn't tell the difference between a game running on DLSS performance at 50% versus native resolution. Several couldn't tell the difference between 1080p and 4k.

They'll buy a PS5 pro for "increased performance" and "turbo boosted graphics", or a $4000 gaming PC to use as a Fortnite machine, without any understanding of how anything works or what any of it means. The buzzwords sound nice and that's good enough, who cares if the games actually run like shit? Tyrone can't tell the difference anyway.

The games runs fine at 60fps at 1080p with my 3060ti. Nice had no problems so far.

No. It was made by Ukies who abandoned their Russian roots. Stalker is essentially a Russian game. Everything you see in Stalker 1 has a prototype in real life which was created by Russians. Khokhols haven't built shit in 30 years. They are like barbarians living on ruins of the great civilisation. Why do you think Ukraine is poorer than Moldova? Also, Stalker 1 was created from scratch by people with sobiet education. Stalker 2 was created by draft dodging zoomers with retarded modern Ukrainian education in Unreal Engine created by pajeets.TKD.

I also want true living world but in practice it's always packs of mutants spawning in a corner of the map and killing each other before you even get a chance to see them. For more interesting behavior you would need to place them carefully and make them interesting path that would intersect with the player.

That would be fake which is what Stalker 2 already does, Anomaly Alife is honest, squads move around and can take over locations with some actual logic to that too, especially with some addons, in Stalker 2 it seems like it just spawns shit out of thin air, fine for an FPS that you will play once and never again i guess

Its true though. PPP is a better indicator than nominal. Russian nominal GDP grew 300% from 1992 to 1995, which by your logic should be an economic miracle overshadowing Korean one. While GDP PPP has fallen tremendously. And every Russia will tell you that the life got WAY worse. So yes, PPP is the go to indicator.

It's the other way around, nafotroon. Russians are the urban dwelling, imperial nation of Russian empire and Soviet Union, like the English of the British empire, and Ukrainians are the uneducated villagers, the equivalent of Irish in this comparison.

And after the start of the war the wages grew a lot. Also, Russia is experiencing homebuilding boom, which combined with above disproves your uneducated spew about "sasha". I myself earn 410K roubles which is around 15K$ when converted to PPP. Khokhols vould have it all to if they didnt left 30 years ago. Now they sell their asses in Dutch bordellos for a dime.

So? How does this disproves what I said? By itself GDP means a little. Especially nominal. So when talking about difference in GDP in relation to richness of ordinary citizen you have to put other statistics on the table which I did. Average wage after taxes is similar to Sweden. Which means GDP is closer to that of Japan rather than anything else. All I hear are people doing profless "lol no" bitching while I am the only one with data backing my claims. No data === you are unable to prove anything === you are wrong by default.

>Nooo I dont uderstand what GDP is and why GDP PPP exists but I'll keep arguing with him!
>Nooo I dont uderstand how taxes are paid in different countries and unlike him I dont have any links to back my claims but I still post some retarded shit!

So what do we have in the end:

1. Russia is as rich as Japan and will only become richer.
2. The West isnt exclusively rich anymore
3. Ukraine fucked up big 30 years ago, exchanging prosperity for a dream of "Second France" which ended up them being the poorest country in Europe even before the war and their people literally whoring themselves for measely pay.
4. Ukraine fucked up even more losing their independence to the West and destroying their country in a process. Battle golems with no free will of their own.
5. Stalker 2 is shit made by butthurt draft dodging Ukies who are so patriotic they will never return to Ukraine because they will get drafted immediately and die after a month in a trenches.

End of story. Cope, seethe, dilate NAFOtrannies.

Like what, you won't get wandering groups of stalkers fighting mutants, or each other?

Should've spent more time working on the fucking game rather than larping as a made up nationality and crying about putler. Or should've gone to the front instead of running away like cowards. Money where your mouth is khokol scum.

Nope only spawning around you. There are not a single npc that can live their own life. Stalker 2 = Farcry 6

the visuals look worse than far cry 5 / new dawn and that ran on a fucking 660 at max settings with occasional crashes due to lack of vram.

UE5 is so garbage.

If you're not posting this from the front lines it's very hypocritical

honestly don't know why they put this into the single player

Old Stalker games didn't simulate alife in the entire game all the time but only on local map, even modern hardware would choke if it did, I don't know why zoomers like to pretend they like or even played Stalker when they don't even know that's the case, I guess it's a way to signal to other zoomers they're hardcore or something.
