Bruh, this game is ASS.
I can remember Shadow of Chernobyl, CS and even fucking nerfed ass CoP having NPC and object permanence, whatever the fuck didn't die on first encounter with something stronger would instead stay until you or someone else took it out, either offline or in-actual combat if you are in-range of the action.
In this shit you reload a save and whatever was there, isn't anymore. Didn't even save to memory.
This game is ASS.

>>695194675
Some retards on the /vg/ thread are toying with the files and they found out that it is pulling a Ubisoft and spawning things based on the player's rank and distance from a possible spawn point.
That's not the spawning the system.
That's A-Life.
A-Life 2.0 is just a broken spawning system.
Offline simulation, the thing that made A-Life cool, is gone.
There seems to be no smarts either, just spawning zones.
Non-vital NPCs apparently don't register either to savefiles. This means that if you find some random bandits, just hide and reload save and they will dissapear from your game. Combat avoided. Repeat.
NPCs don't really have destinations. They will wander off until they hit despawn conditions and they are as good as dead. Never existed.
The max distance before despawn is apparently 300 meters but that's it.
Game's more similar to Skyrim in-terms of how NPCs spawn and work than to fucking Call of Prypiat which after a while turned into a dead zone.
Don't get tricked and buy this thing bros, it's not worth it. You can blame me saying mods fried my brain or something but this is definitely an undercooked mess that cannot be fixed, some hardcoded really foundational stuff has been set as it is, and I don't think it's getting changed anytime soon because this game has to run in previous gen consoles too.

Look at this shit. It's made for quick encounters, not to simulate itself out of player range at-fucking-all.

enjoy your random spawn crap.

was the remove of A-life as a feature on the store page done after or before release?
is that even allowed to advertise features in a game then immediately removed the promised features on the store page after release
>>
>>695196023
>mentions of a-life have been removed

Respectfully I still don't see how mention of it being removed from Steam means the game does not have it because of a large spawn value. I just see /v/irgins doomsaying that something is shit because its cool to be contrarian
>>
>>695196187
you've never played stalker if you think npc's spawning 50m from you is 'a-life'
>>
What's the point of plaing stalker 2 if there's literally zero progression?
>b-but there is progression
it's scripted, you get new weapons when you move on to new locations where you get by finishing story missions
>story
it's a clusterfuck for anyone who didn't play the original game, you get instakilled in the beginning because you get attacked by an invisible moster AT NIGHT and you have no fucking clue what are you doing who are those varta guys, nobody explains anything, you just run errands for people to return some metal dildo of unknown purpose that got stolen from you.
>a-life
it was removed from the game, NPC's spawn randomly and attack you, it gets old very fast.
>questing
you just run errands for people
>shooting/combat/stealth/gameplay loop

the performance basically has a minimum value. if your rig is good enough,you can play it with 50-60 fps. it's just that having an awesome computer doesn't let you run the game at awesome fps. you still only get ~60.

Maybe the DLC is good but after finishing what appears to be a 6 hour tutorial i had no patience to keep going and deleted it from my computer. I read somewhere online that chapter 1 which is the tutorial is actually the best part of the game lmao.

Bold of you to think that 6000 is metres and not some in-unit measurement. A good way to be sure would find some reference to the height of the player's POV camera. If it's like 1.8 units then it would be metres but I'm imagining the camera height will be like 800 or something and you'll have a better understanding of what's being calculated here.

The mods are the only thing that's being discussed in all the /vg/ or /v/ threads, forums, steam forums, and subreddits.
Youtube is chuck full of "let's play stalker anomaly/gamma" videos.
The
>muh OG community
does not fucking exist. Nobody plays stalker games without mods unless he's a newfag of some sort.
Most people agree that the original games are a good platform but not a good game. You could say the same thing about Stalker 2 except, it's not even a good platform.

So when the devs try to appeal to that "fanbase" they appeal to the group of people that doesn't exist or it's like 10 or so people in total. One them is you.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the mod policing that is going on with STALKER 2 moving forward. ModDB will not be hosting STALKER 2 mods and mods are to be hosted on Nexus where GSC will police the mods being uploaded and will remove anything that infringes on their IP.

Gamma is unironically better than Stalker 2

>>695195249
In Clear Sky devs were strongly recommending do not save cause it breaks the game.
You can't expect saving to work, and manual saying is basically playing in god mode anyway.

It appears, the A-life system is present in the game, but scripted events make it bugged, and the direct spawning system is trying to overcompensate that, which effect is that A-life can't initiate because of the existence of too many entities around the player, and being blocked by scripted events.

>go pick mutated bear asses for sidorovich in gamma lmao
funnily enough you've just described 100% of side quests and main quests in stalker 2 lol.

Again my whole point is that the devs or whoever is in charge at GSC deliberately ignored the existence of the stalker modding community, which is the core community of these games. It had nothing to do with the nationality because everyone plays anomaly and gamma.

Instead of being like Valve or i dunno, Todd, and embracing all the mods and progress made by these people. They went like
>naaah why would we allow GAMERS to dictate us how to make vidya games?? we know better.
And they made a game that nobody actually wanted because they simply wanted to prove a point that they still own rights to the IP even though IP belongs to the community at this point. Not them.

Bought the first game as teen in 2007 and modded all games to hell and back.

Bought the ultimate edition now.
Ryzen 5800x
RX 6800xt
32gb ddr4 3200mhz
m.2 SSD
Windows 10

Important settings like textures, shadows, model detail, Draw distance and lighting are set to epic with useless shit to set to medium.
100 FPS at 1440p with TSR Quality + Frame Gen and 120fps with FSR quality + Frame Gen.
70 FPS native.

I'm curious how the performance is in settlements.

Just finished the prologue.
No bugs, no glitches.
Nice cutscenes and gameplay true to the old vanilla games.
The AI is indeed worse but not braindead, two bandits engaged me while the third one ran around the house trying to flank me.
I was scared shitless based on the stuff I read here but I went for it because it's my favorite franchise.

My guess is that a large part of the negative sentiment here is due to the war but is undeniable that performance is hit or miss depending on hardware combinations.
What could it be? Windows 11? Too little RAM? Too little VRAM?

You can safely buy the game anons it's good, unless you're a newfags who thinks stalker is Anomaly or Gamma.

seriously though Anomaly is better than this. I just finished SoC and CoP, both, vanilla (only FoV mod) in the past week in the leadup to Stalker 2.

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I might as well just play SoC Vanilla... again... because STALKER 2 is shit made by retards with learning disabilities.

I remember the exact same screeching from brutal doom's "core doom community" when doom 2016 came out. Turns out nobody outside the brutal doom community really cared about them and the game did well, much to the surprised of said "core community".

>popularity = quality
maybe you're just retarded and have no standards. I liked Doom 2016 and I play brutal doom. That's fine. But STALKER 2 is fucking terrible and the Original Trilogy Vanilla and/or Anomaly and/or GAMMA are all far better games and experiences.

Why the fuck would i play STALKER 2 when I can just play Shadow of Chernobyl Vanilla... again? Because I tell you that I just did htat. I just finished SoC vanilla with only FoV mod in the days leading up to STALKER 2 launch.

STALKER 2 IS SHIT BY COMPARISON.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED THE OG TRILOGY, FRAUD? I played them on launch and again recently with no mods! They're better than STALKER 2 lol

There is no IP, Stalker is Stalker (movie) + Roadside picnic (book)

>I know at least one of the STALKER devs died fighting in Ukraine
One of the devs from the original games, he was never involved in STALKER 2.

>looks beautiful
This could easily be confused for fallout 4.
>>
>>695199515
Those are tweaks you can do without modding tools but to make something like Anomaly/Gamma you NEED modding tools and there is none so far.

>>695199239
You should give CS a try, it's worth playing with the restoration project.

that's unironically my first thought when I saw videos of the game. Why should I play this when I have already played Fallout 4 and all of the other FPS slop on the market? It literally looks like an Eastern European modpack for FO4.

likely a lot of refunds from people experiencing bugginess/shit performance

Do game devs seriously skip on QA? Why the fuck customers have to be served sloppines for every big game release.

>>695199669
Technically those are mods too, because they modify the original game. But I agree with you, though they stated there will be mod support post launch, but then again look what they gave us as a finished product.

Grygorovych, my son
You can spend Microsoft shekels by hiring high quality developers and ensure good QA done
or
You can pocket Microsoft shekels, buy yourself few yachts, enjoy your life while bunch of interns working on game for "experience"

Customers deserve what they tolerate.

Is there any actual survival games with in depth mechanics like Anomaly or Gamma.

I love how everything requires a battery to run , even your PDA.
Take your gun to get fixed? Yeah leave it here come back in 24h Stalker, we don't fix equipment at a click of your mouse button.

These mods BTF out of the entire genre!

Why does it matter how many people are playing it? If a game is good, it's still good even if you're the only person on the entire planet playing, you fucking retarded Amerimuttoid zooomer faggot.

>ini hacks and texture replacements are mods, you guys!!
If they don't release any modding SDK, that's the only thing you'll ever see on there

>>695199217
Your PC is on the mid upper range and it can only get 70fps at 1440p. People are upset because most can only run it barely at 60fps regardless of resolution and without framegen towns and traversal is aids going from 60 to 40fps.

It has nothing to so with specs either its just terrible optimization. Even a 4090 with 7800X3D at 1080p drops to 40 fps on high preset

So less than Space Marine 2?

Yeah it would if you constantly needed to change it, every once in a while it doesnt hurt, and the light quality degrades as the power juice does. Or like filling up your magazine before inserting it into gun. I love this kind of realism. Makes it stand out from arcadey casual shooters. Something games lack these days.

It is random to the point where its not fucking funny. I have 3060m, 5800hs. The game barely runs,1080p lowest settings, performance dlss doesn't even hit 20fps most of the time, crashes every ten minutes. My friend has 3060ti(desktop). Has higher fps(around 50-60 with dlss) and medium graphics but crashes every few minutes. Then there is another friend with 3060(desktop) but with no SSD, who had 0 crashes since he started the game and it runs in perfect 70fps native. Then there is xbox which is supposed to be worse than every single pc mentioned, but has stable 60fps and 0 crashes as well.

a lot of overlay apps can fuck up with games, make sure you don't run cancer in background, even steam overlay cause FPS drop in games - make sure to disable it

microsoft paid so they made it console focused, just like witcher2. slavs are so easily bribed its not funny

>>695205374

Daily reminder, that Grygorovich is a coward and a hypocrite, lolike most Ukrainians. He (and his team) loves his shithole so much he left it long before the war and never plans to return, because the brave sir khokhol is afraid of the draft so brave sir khokhol bravely stays away. TKD.
