>>695195004Are there females and blacks in the Zone? Are they involved in the story?Can my RTX3070 run it in 60+ FPS in at least 1080p?
>>695195004good for them>>695195030>>695195047good for you
>>695195004It's an alright stalker game but buggy for now.Mods will fix it.
>>695195132Haven't seen one yet, just dirty slavs 6 hours in
>>695195132there are real life blacks fighting inside Ukraine right now
>>695195004why should i care about opinion of people who played this game? /v/ already decided it's shit, i don't need anybody elses opinion.
>>695195004>crawled back out of the 70% zoneGamers won.

>>695195004ukies will defend this game to the deathoverall it's no better than call of pripyat, the very first game
wheres the A-Life?
>>695195765pigger bots won, how many reviews are positive because muh war?
>>695196112>call of pripyat, the very first gamereddit alert
>>695196158You're either brown or a draft-dodging Russian. Don't you have any shame?
>>695196158Cope
Feels more worthwhile to actually walk around areas and loot stuff. I didn't bother doing that at all in the original trilogy.
>>695196158>muh warDont care.
>>695196158This. Politics aside the game is modernized/consolized and looks 10 years dated. How it is 160GB I have no idea.
>>695196209Russians don't have drafts the fuck you are talking about? it's Ukrainians who are constantly get drafted.
>>695195004
>>695195132For the most part it's been running well on med with my 3070, averaging around 70-90 fps. Problem is the near constant micro stuttering.
Reviews spammed by other Ukrainians. It's their usual tactic.Here in Poland they opened some businesses who are just pure fucking shit, but have 4.5+/5 averages on Google and other sites because fellow Ukros spam it. The moment you give them a bad review for cold or shitty/spoiled food, they sperg out and call you a Russian Shill in comments.
Because they were told to like this game. Take bets how quickly the children and normalfags will get tired of pretending they are huge stalker fans.
Thats the thing, STALKER fans will probably overlook its issues, because its issues were in the previous titles. It's also a lot more cinematic and story-driven than the previous games.This is a game for STALKER fans, it isn't a game for newcomers in the series.
>>695195004The game is really fun. Very hard to run though. It's like a 2000s game gameplay wise (good thing) but built with 2020s game tech (bad thing).
>>695199284>This is a game for STALKER fans, it isn't a game for newcomers in the series.No, it's not. This isn't a game for stalker fans, it's a game for poser kids who will screech that the bugs give the game "sovl" because bugs were part of the stalker experience (ignore the fact that everyone who played stalker from start to finish did it with a big bugfix patch and that this game was made by dozens of fully paid developers funded by microsoft and working in UE5, not a couple slavs with their slavjank engine)
give it to me straight, does the game preserve the SOVL of the previous vanilla games? I don't and never cared about its technical issues.If you are anomalyfag or modfag for that matter kys.
>>695199568Yes it does. In fact there are Anomaly/GAMMA fags already complaining about it.
why did they put me in the game?
>>695199284>It's also a lot more cinematic and story-driven than the previous games.Its Metro with relatively randomized spawns in a small radius around the player, a true Stalker game would have entities spawned all over the map doing their own thing independently from the player actions, even the base games had that, Anomaly is so much more advanced that its not even fair to make a comparison.
>>695195004*pc drones that also negative review any other game with performance issues
>>695199284Actually this is a game for mindless consumers with zero standards and a gamepass subscription. I'm an OG stalker fan that played SoC back in 2007 when it came out. I had a PC at the time. Did you? Where you even born? Stalker 2 is ass.
>>695199568Can confirm it is slop and without any SOVL. I played the OG games (again) in the lead-up to launch. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. It's an xbox game first and foremost. No A-life. Unfinished, runs terribly even with FrameGen AND FSR 3.0 which is impressive in itself you can get it to run so bad.Pirate it or skip entirely. 3/10.
>>695199132t. vatnigger shill
>>695195132Yeah there is a black character with the nickname 'the aboriginal'
What the fuck is this shit? I lost so much ammo because of this faggot.
>>695200085t. ukronigger draft-dodger
>>695195004There is currently a shitstorm going on official discord channel about the A-life being existent.
>>695199568Im having fun, 3 hours in so far
>>695201008It's just ziggers trying to stir up some bs.
>>695200178lmaobrb buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
>>695195004Playing it on gamepass.It really is just STALKER really.Problem is that it's tied to Unreal Engine 5 so it depends on how beefy your system is.
>>695199568No, it doesn't. It's UE5 trash.>>695199720You will never be a stalker fan.
>>695200182Can you tourists kindly fuck off and never play Stalker again?That's a poltergeist. In SoC they had an actual physical form that was removed for some stupid reason in CS and CoP.Then in Stalker 2 they have a physical form again.
>>695202789Nice, thanks for the info, I'll have to learn how to keep my fucking ammo, I guess I'll have to knife stuff more often.
>>695203190Oh lmao knifing them probably isn't the best idea. You knife Burers not Poltergeists.
>>695198673Why do you lie comrade conscriptovich?>The Russian military is a hybrid system that combines conscripts with contracted volunteers
>>695196109Are the women chained to the wall for use as rape meat?
>>695195132Framerate is a mess, doesn't matter which card. I also have a 3070, and it goes from single digits at sunset for some reason, to 60 fps randomly. There's also this issue were framerate sometimes tank to 1-2fps after opening the PDA, and remains like that until restart... which sends you back to 5 minutes of shader caching
>>695195004people who like the previous STALKER games will like this one, i can confirm this
So how is it? Does it still feel like a stalker game despite it being so long between releases?
>>695200182AYYYYYYYYYY LMAOOOOOOO
>>695203547The shotgun seemed pretty effective against this fucker, I shot my 3 shells and multiple mags of my AK, more than half was shot around or at those floating rocks.
>>695195004i will refund it and get it on sale when it has well developed mods. Right now it's exceedingly mid and buggy
>>695204553It feels like development started with Stalker devs, but ended with Ubisoft devs. It has fantastic atmosphere, but there's a layer of console shittery on top of everything.
>>695199498You speak for no one retard
>>695199941ayyyyy
>ziggers, tourists and journos seething at GOTY 2024Imagine my shock. I especially loved Shill up's "review" where he complained that his PC was only getting 60fps at max settings, and that means that the game is badly optimized. Reminder to everyone that you're not allowed to actually push tech to it's limits or future proof your games with actual Ultra-settings, or some assmad PC mustard race faggot will get his ego bruised by not being able to run the game at max everything and give you a bad review. It's much better to just make your games look like 360/PS3, and make them run at 600fps, then faggots with their 6000$ alienware prebuilts can stroke their dicks to how beefy their rig is.
>>695204845Shotguns work against basically any mutant. Or humans up close.
4080 super with 7800x3d Using framegen but It's keeping a stable 120fps. Does crash at times though.
NGL Ukrainian sounds so much worse than russian. It's kinda like Dutch is to German (surely there are better examples). It's like ugly slang where they swallow letters
>>695195004It's amazing, if you don't like it, then fuck off back to Stalker pripyat
>>695206254reckon its about time i updoot from my 7600x 4090 to the 9800x3d?i truly have no idea how much im losing by going this cpu but its been sweet as far as i can tell but im considering one of those 480hz monitors early next year so ye
>>695206869the x3d chips just seem to do much better for gaming, I'd say go for it since it's all am5.
>>695199760>The zone has fallen. Billions must die.
>>695206813>implyingThe game is literally Shadow of Chernobyl, except better. GAMMA mil-sim "survival" autists mad that the game doesn't make you drop your pants and piss/shit every five minutes aren't STALKER fans and don't need to be acknowledged.
>>695207057Half of /v/ couldn't even tell a good game if it ran and smacked them in the face
>>695203814Nah, he's right.>russian conscriptsaren't deployed in ukraine, it's exclusively professional "contract" soldiers and PMCs.
>>695207057>thinking this ue5 asset flip unoptimized woke console slop without a-life pretending to be a stalker game even holds a candle to the gaming masterpiece that is GAMMA.Kill yourself reddit fag.
>>695207057>The game is literally Shadow of Chernobyl, except betterwhere is a-life sar
>>695195004The zoomers seem to be happy they have a new console game to play, people who actually played the games seem to think it was made for the zoomers.I'm not even going to pirate it.
>>695199760Lol
>>695203814Even if it's true it's still a voluntary contract as opposed to getting forcefully drafted on the streets in Ukraine. You seems rather salty, comrade Volodymyr. Got your legs blown off?
>removes russian language from the game>game now is solely about killing ukrainians>less players than Space Marine 2
I forgot I'm not allowed to like this game or pol will throw tendies at me
>>695208061you have to go back
>>695207579its not professionals, its enlisted vs conscripted. you get like 3 times salary and over 10 times in poverty stricken areassupposedly families get 60 grand if a soldier is killed, they're still offering pardons for convicts but its service until end of conflict, also you're at the mercy of the RDM actually "registering" you as a soldier, so if you die i mean... lmao who?also they can renew contracts whilst you're still in the field because like, who are you going to complain to, the fuckin dirt in front of you or the drone hovering 50ft above you?
>>695195004UE slop zoomercore game, enjoy kids.
>>695195004I like it, it’s getting hate by Russian shills from /pol/ who are mad Putin still ain’t doing shit even with Biden bombing Russia through Ukraine kek.
>>695209510can you tell us what do you like about the actual game? and without saying russia?
The seethe is unreal lmao, that's what 1000 days of the 3 day special operarion does to your brain
>>695209952They can't. For them, liking the game is intertwined with hating Russia and sucking Zelensky cock.
im so bored of politiks brosmember when it was just america bombing ragheads and it was fun because apache go brrrrrrr and we see the footage 10 years laternow its all left this right that im conservative and suck ruski dick im left and want to cut my cock offwhy dont we just crack a couple bears and watch the game
>>695210210Because back then the state had a monopoly on information and the population was forced into line. With the wide spread of the internet, people can see and judge for themselves.
How do we get gookmoot to solve the russianbot problem?
>>695208061But you're not allowed to not like this game either or /k/ will throw their tendies at you
>>695209510>Putin still ain’t doing shit
>>695210210>member when it was just america bombing ragheads and it was fun because apache go brrrrrrr and we see the footagenot really, I very clearly remember collateral murder doing immense PR damage
>>695209952>>695210062It's exactly like CoC except better. Can you explain why it's bad without sperging about "OINK OINK OOKRAINE BAD ZELENSKY = NAZI KIKE FAGGOT RUSSIA STRONK GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR OOKRAINE NOT REAL COUNTRY WHY THE DEVELOPERS ANTI-RUZZIAN HOHOL PIGS, WE ONLY INVADE THEIR COUNTRY, RAPE GRANDMOTHERS AND CHILDREN TO DEATH AND BOMB HOSPITALS AND DAYCARES!???!!"
>>695211765it's bad because it's a boring far cry clone except far cry had vehicles and here you have to run everywhere
>>695211875You literally did not play the game.
>>695211905How is it different from far cry? Besides shitty dialogue system where you have to listen to poor voice acting. Seriously the best mod would be the one that removes all voiceover so that you don't have to listen to that garbage.And adds fast travel to each major location.
>>695195004>Half the positive reviews are "SALAVA UKRAINI"Valve should purge the reviews for this game, but they won't cause of the political nature of this shitstorm.
>>695195004I enjoy it and the Russian seething is just fun.
>>695211241you seriously dont remember being a teenager and seeing FLIR of that dude on a scooter being fucking Hellfired
how's the game on harder difficulties? I don't want the shitty compass thing, but I don't want to play something that is completely unfair.
>>695212551unironically you're more likely to get an answer in plebbit, this shit is so fucking xaxaxa nowadays
>>695212041For example, the shooting is far better and deadlier, which you can immediately tell just by looking at gameplay on youtube, let alone playing it. The zone is a cool setting, the mutants and anomalies are cool and deadly, etc etc. You are obviously just a seething Zigger, which is funny because STALKER was always an anti-USSR, anti-communist series. Oh geez, i wonder why the canon ending to SHADOWS OF CHERNOBYL was Strelok shooting the shit out of the soviet scientists that ripped a hole through the fabric of reality and spawned the zone in an attempt to mess with humanity's collective consciousness and turn everyone into a mindless zombified husk that only exist to slave away and obey the C-consciousness? What could the developers possibly have meant by this, i just can't figure it out?!
>>695213053get a load of this retard
>>695214212Literally nothing i said was wrong, tourist. Call of Chernobyl confirms that Strelok canonically destroyed the C-consciousness. And it's not exactly a secret the Ukrainian developers didn't much like the USSR, which caused the Chernobyl incident, murdered millions of them in the holodomor and WW2, nearly completely destroyed their culture, made them live as slaves in a horrific totalitarian system, etc etc.
Simping for either russia or ukraine is mega gay.
>>695214747nta. you're a dumb retard and everything you said was wrong
>>695214747>holodomorI'm surprised you have space for an original thought between guzzling all that Ukrainian cum.

Where the torrent at?
>>695195004LolWoke trashWill keep playing anomaly
>>695195004>Product received for free.>0.1 hrs played at time of review>Game has issues despite being delayed five times to avoid exactly that--having issues at release... but it's okay because the developers, as brave citizens of the democratic republic of Ukraine protecting themselves from the hands of a bloodthirsty dictator, had to move to Prague because their offices were burned in ILLEGAL missile strikes. Yes, the devs did have the full financial and technical support of both Microsoft and Epic Games for years, which should have in theory led to the release of a playable game. But again, remember that the brave devs had to develop the game in WAR CONDITIONS, so it's not really a big deal if they release a "buggy" game when they ONLY had six years to develop it... and ONLY reported it five times... and ONLY had millions of dollars injected from Microsoft and Epic Games... and ONLY had access to the latest motion-capturing technology and behind-the-scenes UE5 access ahead of time... How could one blame them, when they are fighting an aggressor that is threatening democracy in Europe?Games has its issues, but it's a 10/10 from it.Slava UkrainiGeroyam Slava!
>>695216429Slava Natsyii! Bandera my father, Ukraine my mother!
A bunch of ukes moved into my apartment complex in suburban Philadelphia and they’re extremely obnoxiousIt’s all men too. This one dude just walks in circles around the parking lot yelling loudly into a Bluetooth earpiece. I will NOT buy your game!
>>695211150he didn't do shit, they're just spooking them that's why the missile didn't even have any payload
>>695216751>he didn't do shithe literally launched in ICBM with a zero cum payload implying the next ICBM will be full of cum.
>>695195004Quick, let's organise a discord to coordinate a downvoting campaign to send it to oblivion amirite fellow Chads
>>695216660Hello saar. It's me, John Doe from Washington oblast and can confirm that Ookraine piggies are smelly dumb cowards. Also, Ookraine women whores and prostitutes who flee to west to suck black peepee, despite the fact all the Ookraine refugees are men fleeing conscription )))))))

>>695216994Not enough! Do more!
>>695216967I have no opinions about the war retard. I just know a bunch of loud annoying Slavs moved into my fucking neighborhood and spend 15 minutes in line at Wawa buying cheap cigars and pacing in circles yelling their ugly guttural slav speak outside my window I wish there were some women
>>695195004Enjoyable but my fps going to 2 for accessing the PDA map is cringe
