The game is obviously going to be a hot mess at launch, the question is whether it's going to be a fixable hot mess with SOVL or turn out to be a pseudo-scam game. I bought anyway since it's not like they're going to be capable of scamming me again after this, they can have one freebie lord knows how many times Bethesda has fucked me over

>Major Degtyarev kills all the mutants in X-8 and empties the place of documents, he also empties the underground workshop in Zaton during CoP.
Yet somehow during Anomaly X-18 still has mutants, the Monolith still controls the brain scorcher and the wish granter is still active and X-18 still has mutants, along with X-8 still having mutants and documents. it's gay and retarded.

It's a problem with AI pathfinding getting into an argument with the geometry.
The AI isn't actually required to respect the clip brushes in a level, but told how to navigate through it using it's pathfinding logic.
Problems crop up when that pathfinding is a little wonky and decides the origin point for an NPC should be lower than it is.
That's also why sometimes you'd see NPC phase through walls in older stalker titles.

TL;DR, the AI only respects the laws of physics when convenient.

Don't know, but it will definitely be mixed.
Initial huge wave of people leaving negative reviews over performance and bugs, followed by dicklickers blindly posting positive reviews just to counter it, followed by people who don't give a fuck about performance or bugs leaving what will probably be somewhat positive reviews after actually playing for awhile.

That's the shitty part with unreal, usually the data gets jammed into a couple pck files you have to re-download any time there's an update.
The only alternative I can think of to that is storing everything raw on disk, which causes issues with load times as you can't optimize the data to be sequential and easily loaded without jumping to different points on the disk, or storing everything in an updatable format like later source engine titles, which leads to file bloat when you don't remove the old data from said files, which valve did for literal years without realizing it.

Ever since GPT started taking over some mobos can be weird with MBR drives. Them not showing up in bios isn't a real big deal if it's not a boot drive anyway. Could also be what sata port you used. Especially if you use an nvme via sata. If Windows did it then it's probably GPT, but I'd still let some other program make the partition table.
Either way, as long as you can play stalker 2 in some way is what really matters. The hdd issues come later.

After watching the stream I felt a serious need in mods for:

- More design similarity to the trilogy, most time game looks very alien
- UI from vanilla or mods like lost alpha

I'm a newfag that only recently beat them all last month and even I know of STALKER via meme complications of STALKER games being jank.
So I was suprised how stable the trilogy was with patches honestly.

I see no reason to believe STALKER 2 will be different and see most of this posting as gay raids from /v/ and /pol/ wanting this game to bomb with religious fervor.

I both want it to do well but don't because I don't think my fellow newfags deserve to enjoy STALKER if they couldn't enjoy the vanilla trilogy.

STALKER is a cornerstone game of my adolescence. I was 17 when SoC came out and it completely changed my opinion of what good games should be. I've waited 14 years for a new game, and at this point I don't care if it's bad, I'm just excited there's something new to continue the story. Yes, I actually cared about the story. And at this point I'm going off 4chan so people won't spoil the game for me. I've intentionally not watched any gameplay, and with shit popping up on /v/ now I'm just going to keep my head down altogether for a few days. See you guys next week.

If we assume spawn nature spawns NPCs in standing and not in combat, then I'd say yes. But it looks like the NPC was already spawned just not visible until a few frames after firing (if not on the first frame of firing) because he was crouching and already aimed at and shooting the player.

I always thought Russian to be like Hochdeutsch or Lingua Franca in the USSR part of the world, and Ukrainian as regional dialect of the same language. But the current Ukraine, due to the American push I dunno, is so hell bent on distancing itself from its past that it looks funny sometimes.

I'm not interested in the reverse naming of Russian piggers. My grandfather called Russians pigs in 1941, and I will continue.

This is pigger, the whole world has been calling Russian pigs for 100 years ago, the tradition began en masse in Germany in the 1940s, when they saw how Russians live, nothing has changed at the moment.

Judging by the gameplay leaks the game will be pretty average. Not the disaster it could have been, but there has been more concessions to modern game design I hoped for. The biggest problem seems to be the event spawn system. Ai spawining near the player is not Stalker. The npcs should have predefined spawns and inhabit and move through the world like the player does not pop up out of nowhere. because a timer said now it's time for action or the player will turn the game off. I seriously hope this system is seperate from alife so it can eventually be turned off with mods, but this will seriously bother me playing through the game while it's there. Other things that I dislike are the dramatic color grading, Skif not knowing how to shut his mouth, the bland ui and frequent cutscenes, but those are less important and will easily be removable once the tools are out.
>>
>>502927079
Yeah that flashlight has to be an intentional choice. Hopefully modders can fix that.

>>502927079
just awful, colors make me want to vomit

the flashlight being dim?

Years of delay and Xbox money give us this. Ukraine should consider this game a treason and banish every GSC employee.

Double-banish the people who took the Microsoft cock and led to this.

No dynamic shadow when cast on object. It does make flashlight more useable when theres a lot of things like vines or cobweb but the immersion imo is far more important

Excuse me, I might be retarded, but how fucking hard is it to add a toggle for dynamic flashlight shadows? Like, is it some extreme coding task or UE5 is at fault?

i swear that shit is default. like you have to turn it off on purpose.

Who cares about the very small number of poor piggers who earn $200-300 a month? This is a business, if you are a beggar, then no one cares about you, try investing money in welfare, not weapons.

You didn't say anything to refute my statement about you, so guess I'm right. You're just yet another retarded pol tourist, you don't even care about the original games and probably haven't played them when they came out, you only came here to talk shit because you got bored of doing the same in your containment board.

I have played Ukrainian stalker before, and I don’t see a problem with the fact that the game is Ukrainian, in the Ukrainian language. If this is causing you problems, then cry.

Good for youm The rest of the world didn't play it in ukrainian though, they did play an english version with either meme ass dub or russian voices, and this time the rest of the world will play it in english, not ukrainian. If it causes you problems, then cry and blame le evil ruzzkies about it, tunte.

Russian is a dialect from Ukrainian, so no one will notice the difference. Cry more
