looking forward to yet another onslaught of suka blyat jokes from normies and streamers when it comes out, even though the devs want nothing to do with russia at this point
Here's an exo for whoever asked
Refresh my shitty memory /sg/I remember playing a few years ago(if not more) a freeroam mod with a shitton of details, 3d PDA,more animations, weapons, and gas mask being "visible" and interacting with rain/getting crackedWas it GAMMA? because i tried it a few days ago and the ""difficulty"" bored me after 5 mins
>>502931382Oh im playng that with my brother, but he is retarded and even if we share our quest money, and he is a obsesive grave robber. He still has no money on him all the time, and me (smart and charismatic artifact hunter) have to buy and upgrade new gear for him every 5 minutes
>>502931641gamma is just a menu game
>>502931641anomaly
>>502931640Looks like a Bulat suit with exo reinforcments desu
>>502931715How are zone transitions handled? Can you use ingame chatting?
>>502931614
>>502931819"Scout" exo perhaps?
>>502931821It has text chat and voice chat, its call of pripiat so there are only 3 zones, everyone goes to the another area after you talk with pilot, so better play with someone you trust or you get trolled being loaded back and forth. As far as i know you also share quest money/both get it As of bugs, only bug i found is when i repair my ak with a grenade in it, i randomly get like 40 grenades and suddenly cant walk. Quite annoyng but its free money
>>502931940>>502931641Not in favor of GAMMA, since I think it definitely has issues, but it gets a lot more manageable when you know it's systems
>>502931640are these the dlc weapons
>>502931947The Bulat was (late) mid-game armor so a scout variant would make sense
>>502932119Apparently the next release of gamma is ditching some of the miseryshit and streamlining the weapon and artifact systems to be less busywork
>>502932017That's great. They should only allow traveling if everyone is in proximity. I guess it must be easy to implement and they will eventually.We are going to make our own server and play right?
>>502932286Hosting your own server is implemented in the mod, so you don't even have to fiddle around with it, dead easy. There is also a item gifting system so you dont have to drop shit
>>502931225>waiting for stalker 2>fart under blanket>smell it>smells bad>still waiting for Stalker 2pls release soon
>>502932206Moneybags edition shit. idk if they're just skins or magic or what
>>502932593Kek
>>502931979
>>502932585Is it peer to peer or is it painful like arma (just implement peer to peer bohemia) or god forbid, hamachi
Bonus side quest gets modded in on day 1 right?
>>502932017>i randomly get like 40 grenadesthis happened in vanilla SoC to me oncewas pretty funny since I could shoot 30 grenades with the firerate of an AK
>>502932234I watched a guy playing the dev patch of it a few weeks ago and there seemed to be a bunch of new quests as well. It looks like a pretty good patch. I'm excited to artifact hunt in gamma now. I wonder if the changes will work with Arrival, since those anomalies are way more interesting and better looking than DAO.
if it's in the nvidia rtx showcase then pop-ins are still going to be a thing on pc isnt it. i doubt they're not using a top of the range pc at nvidia for this kind of thing.
>>502932676>season pass>single player gameWhat did they mean by this? How do you even have MTX in a game with no DRM? People are just going to CE in everything or hell people will just download the files from other people.
>>502933172Consolies can't.Same thing with bethesda games, the paid modders make all their bank off of xbox players, not pc ones
2 HOURS TILL REVIEWS!
>>502933082At least the PC one in that video looks way farther of a range than the xbox ones lmao.
>>502933172There will be multiplayer...
>>502932684looks pretty damn fine
>>502933172their season pass just means you get all future DLCs
>>502933586>all future DLCDLC was a mistake, remember when games launched in their completed state?
>wake up>still can't preload
>>502933898Yeah this is getting a bit retarded, we're 4 hours out and it wont let anyone preload a game that's 140GB.
>>502933898you can preload when the game "releases" later today then play on the real release date tomorrow :)
>>502932769No, host hosts the server (by clicking a button). And everyone joins itIf your internet is wanky shit you gotta use radmin vpn tho its only for "fluid ip" or some shit >>502932827Thats new
>>502933898>can't preload>160gb game + 135gb patch>all for a something that's going to be a total dumpster fire
devs already said on their discord that for one reason or another they could not make preload on PC a thing
>>502934208Bow to consoleniggers or something
>>502934275typical fuckery that comes with a microsoft backed game.
>>502933647Addons were always a thing anon but yeah i blame Todd. It was better when Devs actually had to release a big content update in disc form and had to make profit from the actual sales instead of just hoping retards would click the downolad button (5 bucks per click) for golden horse armor
Why did they remove the A-Life mention from the steam page again?
How come it still has ridiculous hardware requirements if they needed to downgrade for consoles?
>>502934491because this>>502932912>>502932119>>502931940>>502931614
>>502934547nvidia gotta sell their top end gpus even if 90% of pc players will never be able to buy them, pls understand
>>502934649It's bugged but still there, unless they somehow want to disable npcs day 1, which is doubtful.
>>502934649it's no longer a-life, now it's ass-life
>>502934491It was explained in the discord that they just renamed it...
>>502934649Its just optimalisation bug right? These npcs are there all the time and only pop in the view right? Its not like npcs respawn infinitely right???
>>502934857it probably is the switching from offline to online a-life, yeah
>>502934837If you go to any /v/ Stalker thread, it basically devolved into a politcal thread about the retard war. Its a suprise that /sg/ didnt break down into pig and seething-putin memes yet
>>502932684
why do they need npcs to pop-in anyway? don't they use LODs to make far away npcs less demanding? like low poly models and reduced frame rates in animations.
>>502935251I hope its that
also it doesnt even look like they are popping in, it looks like they are fully spawning in.
>>>>>Unreal Engine 5
>>502935251it's about online a-life being much more demanding
>>502935251maybe its occlusion culling not working properly?
>>502935408what the fuck is online A-lifeis this a meme or does the game literally communicate with some AI neural networking server to control the bots in your game.
>>502935141I have some shit stockpiled just in case
>>502935495tourist
imagine getting tricked into using that pos enginehow much were they paid to do it?>>502935495offline means background simulation, online is when the actual models are visible in game
Having mocap was a very bad idea, all non-mocap NPCs (the vast majority of them) look uncanny with their 2010-tier lipsync.
>>502935141I'm keeping my hohol folder in store for when the GSC cultists and apologists show up
>>502935539kek, thats the spirit
>>502935494that's what it looks like so far. they seem to pop-in way too late after the view obstruction has cleared. >>502935251 >>502931940 >>502931614but shouldnt there be a minimal distance for occlusion culling to not be applied? especially for things that actively move around and can appear in view of the player.
>>502935495Offline A-Life is when the AI is the AI isn't actually "in world" and instead just a piece of data in memory that the game simulates on a much simpler level.Online A-Life is when the AI is actually visible and doing things that the player can actually see.
>>502935251Oh boy Dragon's Dogma 2 here we fucking come. Did every talented developer just ride off into the sunset or what?
Is that normal for NPCs to stay 10 cm from you?
>>502935141>Its a suprise that /sg/ didnt break down into pig and seething-putin memes yetI take it you haven't seen the last two threads.
>>502935930We call that stalker Rainman, pay him no mind.
>>502931225hello, i haven't played Stalker with mods in years (last time it was Misery and i finished it), so i want to mod the game again with Anomaly (i want a mod that has a difficulty equivalent to Misery) but in the download comment section of ModDB i've seen lots of comments about a drama and removed content, so what's up with that ?is Anomaly still a good mod or should i look elsewhere ?
>>502935974ratio wise its still okay i say compared to the main one on /v/ right now lol
>>502936021Anomaly is fine, it's just that the community around it has kinda become a complete shitshow with a decent chunk having never played the original games.I personally enjoy it, but would recommend staying well the fuck out of the comments section for any addon.
>>502935930peak bethesda moment. makes the game look like a fallout mod.
>>502936021You want GAMMA.It's an Anomaly based modpack and it's amazing.
>>502936021>Misery1 or 2
instead of Fallout: London this is just Fallout: Chair Noble
>>502936214The biggest bethesda feel is the English dub. First thing I'm going to remove. Literally unplayable with anglo voices.
>>502936342*Chornibble
>>502936220the problem i have with GAMMA is that it requires to download from Discord and it seems to be just a bunch of mods thrown together with an attempt at stabilizing it.especially having to go on Discord instead of ModDB or something is a red flag for me.and from what i've heard on the internet, GAMMA is a more casual experience, isn't as hard as Misery.>>502936231lastest version, finished it thrice.
>>502936346Yeah I'd rather have the broken Engliski lines from the older game than straight up Englishman dialogue, feels completely out of place.
>>502931614This one in particular makes me think it's an event system spawning threats instead of being a culling error. The fleshes are immediatly hostile instead of panicing or fleeing. This would break the game. The great thing about the old games is that outside of scripted story events other npcs act like animals instead of being simple videogame enemies only their to be gunned down. You can often see them from a mile away and if you don't attack or scare them, dogs, boars and fleshes can be avoided.
the trader npc is definitely british, but the rest sound like ukrainians...?
Polish will have lector right? I dont want dubbing
>>502934837Well, why did they rename it? Everybody knows Stalker for its "A-Life" system.
>>502936917how have they worked for 4+ years on this game and this seemingly fundamental part of it is broken.can mods even fix this?
>60 minutes of 87 minute Stalker 2 making of is about Russia attacking UkraineWhat were they thinking?

>>502937102russia bad, pls understand :(
>>502937123If we are lucky it's a simple parameter we can tweak.
Does the game have drones?
>>502937025Because of the normies.

>>502937564except your fps will decrease by 50%, have fun
>>502937216Zoomers know about Stalker what journalists telll them, and if they talk about something, it is precisely it's A-Life system.>>502937331That's not true. Someone posted the two pictures before and after, and they just removed the old text.Before:>Advanced artificial intelligence systems that will keep engaged even the most hard-boiled players>Life-simulating system “A-life 2.0” that makes the game world feel alive as never beforeNow>Advanced artificial intelligence systems that will keep engaged even the most hard-boiled players ;Why would that second paragraph confuse "normies"? This is all so weird.
>>502937673WHERE???
>>502937723>>502932015
>>502937674thanks, i will have fun. because i'll still be above 60fps.
>>502937713>Zoomers know about Stalker what journalists telll them, and if they talk about something, it is precisely it's A-Life systemSaw the pope shitting in da woods yesterday
>>502937713they have tried to implement it, but xbox struggled even with the most basic form so they had to cut it off from all versions because microsoft told them so, it's over :(
>>502937810Sick. Steep learning curve is something I like. I like to get challenged by the games I play.
were original stalkers on xbox?
target audience for Stalker 2
>>502937961Doubt. But I wouldn't be surprised if the new system, or whatever they ship at release, hardly managed to make "the game world feel alive as never before". Can you ask for reparations based on false advertisement?
>>502935308WhY CanT I Hold ALL TheSe BLooP BlOopS?!
>>502936917>The great thing about the old games is that outside of scripted story events other npcs act like animals instead of being simple videogame enemies only their to be gunned downAside from CS, where mutants are an organized army sending squads to capture points like every other faction.>This one in particularI think it was mentioned before that the windmill in the webm is a quest location. So hopefully, those fleshes are just quest-spawned enemies, which were plentiful in the old games, and not an example of how all mutants behave. Otherwise that would mean there's no a-life at all in the game.
i remember when i tried stalker out as a kid, the NPCs would freak me out. there was something about the sudden motion when they would holster their guns.
150 gigatnite no priloead blinn)))
>>502938718lmao.Gamma won.
I remember when 50gb for a game seemed insane.
Where is the screenshot showing the gamer's prey footage is from the 16th from? I have the entire video but I don't see a watermark saying it was recorded on the 16th anywhere.
>>502938718>literal bethesda dialogues
the problem with modern games that require a 100GB+ install is that devs love 4K uncompressed textures, i wish we'd have a checkbox to NOT download 4K textures on Steam like it exists for games like Warthunder.
>>502939109he pauses the game for a brief moment after experiencing this: >>502935251it's at 1:24:23
>>502938798>the year is 2100 and if you dont have a 250 petabyte nvme hsdssd you cant even download gta 7grim
>>502938638You just gave me a little bit of hope. I'm praying you are right.
this guy>>695116867has the footage from the 16th November if you were wondering.also the pop-in thing with the NPC's seems to be a typical A-life bug that you can experience easily if you set the A-life "online" distance too close to the player (then again that means a dev fucked up with the online distance and why ?)you can do that in Stalker Misery because it asks you to set the A-Life distance and anything lower than default and you'll experience this.

It seems the reviews praise the game and are just pissed about performance and bugs. Sounds like they didn't babbyfy the difficulty for consoles at least, hope it's harder than call of pripyat.
looks like teeth tech is in boys!
IT'S UP!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHNsOyz8PYY
Conclusion = Game is good, but way too many bugs( some are game breaking ) atm and will just hinder your first experience of the game so its not worth it.Wait 2 months for bugs to get fixed. Looks like i will save my money for now.
GAMMA DISCORD IS LAUGHING AT US
>>502943101So the game is shite? Fucking rubbish, waited years and now all is down the pavement

Okay buying.I have a 5800 X3D and a 4090 so I should be able to brute force the performance.
so, is A-Life present in the game or is it a dumb down version of A-Life ?

"But if you’re a fan of games like Fallout: New Vegas, or you enjoyed past Stalker games, then this one is worth following up on."All I needed to hear. Yup it's gaming time!
Reposting from the other thread:So with the Ultimate Edition on Steam - what's to stop me from just torrenting the Ultimate Edition and playing multiplayer (later on)? Will it require an "account", or will it be like the original games with a server lobby?Also Dan is gay, please let him know, he's lurking right now and not back at his desk.

I am playing tarkov since 2017 so no bugs or crap performance cant scare me anymore. Every game after this feel like AAA optimized bugfree goty

>>502945293OHNONO..
The game looks really faggy and plastic. Actually looks worse than S1 and the usability crap is everywhere so it severely hampers the atmosphere. Despite looking worse I'll make a bold prediction and claim it's poorly optimized.

All I am hearing so far is few bugs but game is awesome 7/10 kek. By the same reviewers who were praising Dragon Age. Would take atmosphere and story over few bugs anytime.

>>502945650a game out of ukraine from the mid 2000's is magical yes. however it is now 2024 ukraine, gsc is microsoft backed and the game is built on the 'amazing' unreal engine. the magic has gone, and it is just a mess.
>>502945650Brother this is full upigs vs ziggers now, go shitposting or go home
Based on what I've seen the main points of critique are:World to big, don't want to walk literal two real life hours for one questWeight limit sucksFirst part is good because worthwile rewards, everything after sucks because you spend much ammo on killing shit that never leads to any rewards of worthSkif is a hunger machineThe hunger shit worries me a bit but the rest is basically expected stuff.
>>502944387I don't even know who this guy is or why people take his word as gospel.
>>502945607Critics score below 80 indicates a guaranteed flop.
>>502945846If it doesn't crash once every 15 minutes and corrupt my saves just before CNPP, then it's not a SoC successor and I'll refund.
>>502945910but it's boring
Is there a performance mode for series s? Gf got me a series x for Christmas but I’ll be playing on series s until Christmas Day. I knocked over her fucking giant, glass vase onto my original series x and broke the hdmi port and to fix the port it would’ve been $250 so I got a series s with the trade in money. Think she got me the series x for Christmas because of guilt of her dumb vase. I don’t care about graphics. Just want 60fps

lmao how does it have a higher score on xbox than pc.
>>502945053I had this happen a million times in CoP and I laughed every time.
It's funny how it's always the people making the game who do not understand what made it good. To see STALKER 2 riddled with American FPS design like conveniently placed corpses, aesthetically rumpled rooms, dark that's never really dark because that would be bad for (((usability)))... sad. Then again they still did homeless man's cawadoodie scenes in Pripyat.

>>502945665Good good, cobbler approved
So should i play GAMMA for the first time while waiting for Stalker 2 to get fixed or should i play Anomaly.I only know that GAMMA is a complete rework and Anomaly is more vanilla-like
wait for the meltdowns when people find out there's a black woman speaking ebonics at the arena
>>502946498>I only know that GAMMA is a complete reworkjust shitposting, it is better
>>502946563
>>502946498>So should i play GAMMA for the first time while waiting for Stalker 2 to get fixed or should i play Anomaly.Anomaly, GAMMA is a bit overcooked in terms of rebalance and mod bloat.Just install mod organizer 2 and pick the addons you actually want.
Haven't touched STALKER in years, didn't realize the ukraine war would fuck the community so hard. How is STALKER 2?
>>502946498Vanilla SoC.
>>502946498GAMMA is getting a really actually good update on December 3rd. I'd say play something like R3 or Gunslinger instead.
>>502946672Apparently the story and gameplay are good, performance and bugs are really bad doughever.
>>502946498Next gamma update is happening December 3rd if you can wait. Its a really big update thats removing a LOT of retarded shit introduced by Misery/Analmeme.
>>502946756This is just SoC launch all over again
>Stalker is good Putin is dying tonight or tomorrow lmao
>>502946083
it's official:we have reached cyberpunk levels.
>>502946756I played CP2027 on release and really enjoyed it, and people said the same thing. I'll pick it up, I have nothing to play right now.
>>502946672Would love to say, but griga refuses to allow pre-loading so it's another hour and a half.

>>502946932>>502946901Who is in the wrong here?
>>502946901BUGS????????????? IN STALKER????????????
did OG have soulful bugs such as blocking you from progressing because an entire floor of a building won't load?
>>502946976Brown-nosers like you would call a background bitcoin miner SOVL
>>502947087No, SoC would just crash to desktop with the log saying "Stack trace ;"
>>502946791>Next gamma update is happening December 3rd if you can wait. Its a really big update thats removing a LOT of retarded shit introduced by Misery/Analmeme.Oh shit, might actually have to reinstall.
>>502946563Made in Ukraine™
>>502947034I have pretty solid hardware, so I didn't see 90% of the bugs people posted on /v/ and such. My worst problem was 2 crash to desktop, and a bit of lag.
>1 fps
>>502935251UE5 has tons of popin
>>502947087Yes, if by block you from progressing you mean fuck your save file
>>502947034The bug from that clip is from a review that explicitly states it was patched 2 hours later.

>>502947250>4050Pretty much a rebranded 1050Ti, like all recent low end GPUs from Goyvidya
>>502947975>Game can be fixed"the mods will fix it (tm)"
>>502947843He clearly has not played a STALKER game if you listen to that review. The three minute rant about encumbrance is cringe inducing.
jesus christ the foliage pop-ins are awfulhttps://youtu.be/BRCLRAJkqjg?si=IZA3ifqpxyGOqBU8&t=363
The game looks worse than that chink Delta Force game
>>502947060>erm just like le frickin olden days you can't have any opinions on a game in 2024 because a game in 2009 had a few bugs! slavjank wholesome chungus atmospherino
>>502946672Same here. I think the last time I played a STALKER game or interacted with the community was when Misery 2.0 came out.From what I gather about STALKER 2:>Buggy as shit>Story is uneven>Melts your pcWhich all just sounds like what you'd expect from a STALKER game.I'll hold a bit before playing it, hopefully some patches will come along.
>>502948072I don't know why people latched on to this dude, probably trying to fill that totalbiscuit sized hole
>>502948072yeah that part of the review was kinda retarded>this game doesn't have AAA conveniences n constant action of fallout 4 is a bad thing lol

>>502948165At least he confirmed there's no fast travel, that's nice to hear. Overall, I expected trash performance and bugs out the ass, but it sounds like the heart is still STALKER based on some other reviews I watched.
>>502947087SoC's save system could corrupt your playthrough, yes. Not only that but the updates themselves were incompatible with saves from previous versions
>>502948239>have to walk 60 square kilometers on foot all the timeno anon thats just retarded
Was planning to play GFN while its downloading but no SC2 there yet. Damn you Huang
i'm so fucking glad i cancelled my preorder, game is already 28% off on key sites
>>502948392>28% off on key siteswhich one?
I have like 300 hours across the three games, I know about A-Life but no idea what it does.
>>502948418nta but it's like 15% on GMG with NOV15
>>502948178artifact containers. artifacts will no longer be universally radioactive and are getting rebalanced stats and empowering and crafting artifacts was made easier . also overall weapon condition is being removed, leaving only parts condition as well as making parts repairs less awful to do. theres a ton of other shit too but i dont remember it all because of how long the next update has been in development for.
>glitch where guns make no sounds
>>502948239>>502948354there is fast travel, he's just retarded.It has guides just like previous games
>>502948418use allkeyshopthis is true for all games though, every 60 euro game is 40 euros on key sites, idk why or how and I don't care, its a good deal for meI'm broke rn but I'll be buying stalker 2 next month no matter how broken it is though, its stalker 2
>>502948454No way in hell am I going to PAY MONEY for this because who the fuc kbuys stalker anyway, but I heard someone claim that the shooting is mostly hitscan now, that can't be true can it? If that's true then I don't think I'll even bother pirating it.
>>502948228>make video shilling modpack that is nothing like the originals>never played the originals>never talk about the originals>not even a journalist>gets 1 week early access
Why can't I download the game yet? Gabe? Hello?
>>502948571Ah, forgive me anon I meant map fast travel rather than the guides.
>>502940585
>>502948418
Jesus. Ukrainians are terrible game devs. They should’ve gave the game to Czechs or poles to finish and polish out the bugs.
>>502948597>because who the fuc kbuys stalker anywaypeople that wanna see more stalker releases in the future you shameless parasite
>>502948616time zones
stalkers spoil me on the mutiesare there any new ones?
>>502948693>Jesus. Ukrainians are terrible game devs.the ones that got fucked by the war? you dont say
At this rate I think I'll just replay Baldurs Gate 3
>>502948462>also overall weapon condition is being removed, leaving only parts condition as well as making parts repairs less awful to do. theres a ton of other shit too but i dont remember it all because of how long the next update has been in development for.This part worries me a little, because usually once you fully repair a gun, all you need to do is oil it up whenever it drops below 95% and your gun is in perfect condition forever. If they get rid of overall condition that means you're going to have to autistically track the condition of every part and repair them all constantly?
>>502948454It's a structure for NPC AI that makes them actually go out and do things a stalker normally would like artifact hunting or doing jobs for traders.Also applies to the animals, essentially simulating their needs, wants, and behaviors.That's why you'll see NPCs bump into eachother seemingly out of nowhere and start fights you hear in the distance.
here's an actual SOUFUL bug.
>>502948748There are women.
>>502948693yes the czechs & poles famous for releasing non-broken non-buggy games on release like KCD or cyberpunk 2077ik ur baiting but still
>>502948812Holy fuck, that's rough.
>>502948748Yeah, the weird ass giga deer was shown.

>>502948693Ah, yes! The polish!
>>502948748oh nevermind just like everywhere on this place ziggers will cry and shit and moan and cum all over any stalker or metro related threadsby god the day we can have a normaly /zone/ thread is the day humanity has healed

>>502949143those 2 are the best games to come outta poland or czech and their only 2 big releases, both ended up being some of my fav games of all time though, but both undoubtedly beyond broken on release, its just a slavjank thing, playtesting funds all get spent on german hookers
>>502949267ITS SO OVER!!!

>>502949692Soon as the GoG version launches.
>>502949692gay pass
So basically even with day 1 patch it probably needs about 2-4 more months of work is what I'm getting with reviews
>>502949740starfield isn't stalker, jank is the roots of this series
drewski's video is so different the game looks perfect from the footage he shows you
>>502949559Wtf didn't see thanks!
>>502949854That's because all these youtube shills knows how to hide shit
>>502949854It's his job to edit stalker footage
I don't want to upgrade my oldass PC to play this. hopefully someone will come up with a mod to remove bloat
He still can't hide those horrendous pop-ins thoughbeit
>>502949464Is it on youtube

>>502950141>Low preset>24 gigs of ramWhat the fuck, how are the consoles going to run this without exploding?
Check out the comments for the YouTubers who aren't recommending the game. They're full of nafoids attacking the everlasting shit out of them.Can't have a negative criticism of the game or you're a racist zigger it seems lmao
>>502935182keep em coming
Its so good. We only have to wait half an hour, it looks like this is the game of the year.

>>502950294>game of the yearlmao
>>502950141damn I might be able to run this after allfinally my 32gb of RAM will be put to good use
>>502949828jank was cute 15 years ago when it was 3 guys making SoC living off sausages and vodka, now with microsoft money,expanded team and delays they release a bugfilled mess and it's supposed to get it a free pass?
>>502950202DAMN YOU IVAN HACKER RUSSIAA YOU HJAVE STOLEN THE ELCETION AND MY STALKER I NOW DECLARE BLOODFUED WITH YOU AND FAMILY FOR 1 MILLION YEARS
>>502950278a lot of the criticism is a bunch of salty ziggers though, the other half is fallout 4 fans that have never played a stalker game, the minority seems to be actual stalker fans the performance is the only ick so far for me, unreal engine 5 is a fucking mess, sh2 remaster runs like absolute shit, even 3 months after release, so I kinda expect the same from 2 if they can make this dogshit engine work good job
>>502950392>when it was 3 guys making SoC living off sausages and vodkawas never the case for stalker games, stop believing memes.
>74 on metacriticSTOP THE COUNT

>>502950467>STOLEN THE ELCETIONYou mean saved the election from Demonrats cheating.
>Strelok is the overarching antagonistFucking called it
people FIXED Dark souls 1 performance and that was a worse disaster this will be fixed right?
>>502950567Trust the modders ;^)
>>502950567Yeah, in about 5 years when the hardware becomes so strong it can overpower the shitty code
https://youtu.be/PKO4PL8Xzikbtw, the game is legit 40 hours.

>>502950340i'm in!
>>502950392GSC was backed by THQ during the development of SoC, they were never an indie studio.
>>502950546Will right wingers ever break out of this LARPing play pretend act?
>>502950678It's 2024, and all even basic computers have 32 GB of RAM.
>>502950680>Consoles ruined it. But hey, GSC needed a sponsor. Aren't you glad it came out?Based on the way they pop in, the console port looks kinda ass, and how the PC footage seems to perform much better, it seems like GSC kinda shat out the console port as a second thought to meet obligations.
>>502950546>DemonratsHow old are you?
>>502950813I know that but on a low preset that seems a bit much
>>502950813And that horrible performance is excusable because computers have more RAM?
Blowing up half of europe with radiation and now with shitty games really stellar stuff guys
>>502950678>>502950813if your PC has 64 gb of ram then programs will naturally pull more even if they don't need it, the RAM usage isn't the problem there
>>502950724I had to restart PC with ethernet disconnected and set system clock to 12 PM PST

>>502950678>>502950935the problem is the gpu usage btw, 97% of utilization for low preset 1080p even on a 1080ti is crazy, its clearly not GPU optimized but yeah y'all are retards and don't know that if you have 64gb total ram the PC will naturally allocate more just because

>Degtyarev gets heavily wounded and basically becomes a non-character after mid-gameUhm... Deggy bros?
friendly reminder :)
>>502950392im sick of the revisionists calling these new and extremely worse problems "jank" when the old jank was "le funny animations" and "crashes, but it's okay because everyone quick saved every 5 minutes"NPC pop-in this short of range is absolutely absymal and ruins the entire flow of the game. It's much worse than "that renegade dude jumping over a box and pretzeling his torso to shoot you"
>>502951196>restating the previous post that the guy said about the computer using more ram if it has more to use>but yeah you all are retardedR/stalker is that way, newfren. You must be confused!

>>502951601I'm just laughing at you anon. That's it.
okay, how about YOU try developing a video game while you are under ARTILLERY FIRE?

Who else getting comfy waiting for the release?
What's with all the seething russaboos ITT?
>>502951667Did the studio get hit a single time?
>>502951819You aint seen nothing yet. This is all foreplay
>>502949648it doesn't.
How hard is the game gonna get reviewbombed in 20 minutes?
>stalker 2 is great at core and the only problem is the bugs>Cyberslop was fucking dogshit until 2.0 when they had to revamp everything mmmmm...yeah the ukranians win this one
>>502950213>stalker 1
i just read that STALKER 2 has a 40 square mile map. that's absurdly big. that's bigger than red dead redemption 2, a game with travelling by horse.hearing something like that makes me a bit suspicious.
>>502951587But it stays above 60?
>>502951963Complaining about the horrible performance is not reviewbombing
>>502951815It's already released, and only thing I am waiting now not shit downloading speed
>>502951987I played cp2077 before 2.0 and it was still an amazing game so you're wrong, it was just an update but yeah on release it was even more broken than stalker 2, thats just slavjank
>Rtx 2060 super>Ryzen 3600Should I even bother?
>>502951815Again, why do you feel the need to play pretend like this? Why do you even have this saved on your PC?
>dude it's just slavjank lmao xd>they're in the midst of a heckin WAR chudDogshit is dogshit I fear
>>502951481>CS: Military is incompetentThat turret section begs to differ
>>502952071Only for Gamepass users. Steam, GOG and Epic are still waiting.
>>502951481Removed so GSC can add the 20 new factions, 12 of which are micro-factions introduced and ran by fan favorite characters>>502951831Dude, everybody got mobilized and couldn't work on the game. Come on.Their families all died and you want them to code some shitty gay fallout sim?
>>502951814Absolutely.
>>502951775We're going to be up to our ears in wojack niggers for a few weeks. Buckle up, motherfucker, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
npc animations are so fucking bad manthey literally rotate on the spot like counter strike botsthis kind of slop just makes me appreciate games like gta and cod way more
Great, my card and computer are enough
>>502952081If this is any way comporable to 2077 im gonna have a blast. Jancalpys
>>502952109you have 8 gb of vram so you'll be okay, as long as you're fine with heavy upscaling

>>502949121>>502945665>it doesnt save random NPC state
Reading the reviews since the embargo lifted makes it really clear that some people played eurojank without knowing they were playing eurojank.>>502951503PERFECT.
>>502952248It's gonna be brutal.
Do I need to upgrade?
According to the Digital Foundry guy on not-Twitter the day one patch fixes enough technical issues that they're redoing their review. He also described it as "less broken than Jedi Survivor" but I'm not sure if that's an accomplishment given that game is still unplayable on PC
>>502952539your cpu is old as fuck
>>502952539its about time
>>502952539nah it's fine
>>502952539>>502952590also sata ssds are slow as fuck I'd sell that PC and just get a new one, everything's rly dated

Remember to thank grok everyone
What does GSC mean by this?
>venoxium playing in 1440p with 5900x and 4070seems okay to mereally hoping my shitty rig can pull 60 at 1080
>>502952081Cyberpunk at launch had the core of a great game but it was clear they hadn't had the time to build anything on that core.Like there was a perk to let you throw knives, but you'd have to requip a new knife every time you threw one and they barely did any damage. There were all these ideas for cool mechanics but with most of them it barely felt like they'd done much apart from basic implementation. Most of the skill-trees were also just filled up with flat statbonuses (many of which were bugged and didn't work). Hacking was also horrible broken. You could just upload Contagion and watch everyone die.Compare that to 2.0, where Reflexes give you all kinds of crazy mobility shit like airdash, Body lets you toss around enemies like ragdolls, and Cool has an entire tree dedicated to throwing weapons. Different quickhacks have all kinds of synergies with each other and with smart weapons.
>>502952805payload for rus computers
Yup
>>502952862thats all well and good but I played with a revolver + smallarms build and minimal hacking and had great fun with the game and enjoyed the lore even before 2.0, I'm gonna replay it soon but yeah when I played it a year or so after release (and pre 2.0) it was still an amazing game
>>502952853oh on max everything settings, but probably with dlss on
Did you know in order for Eastern European video games to be released in the United States the Supreme Court ruled they have to feature more American weapons.Google Stalker Rule 34 to find out more.
>>502952862cyberpunk is still not good shill, shut the fuck up with your wholesome chungus no fag's sky turn around sob story, fuck you and goydivers 2 and every other piece of shit faggot game that does this nigger tier slop of being dogshit for years and then suddenly it's good when they do one good patch
>>502952959Did you change regions?
>>502953069>incomprehensible babble cyberpunk is a 9/10 game retard
Don't really like the UI, looks like its from some browser or unity game
>>502952805Same thing Richard Stallman meant by this, that they hired a lawyer who knows how to write ass-covering clauses into a license
>>502953113It just unlocked for me, too.
>>502953069
>>502953148No it isnt you faglord
>>502953113Nope, just restarted steam
nice
>>502953148LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>502952670>>502952719>>502952762Guess I have to play at a lower resolution and at 45 FPS and absolute low graphics.
>>502953069>trying this hard to fit lole
>>502952726retarded asian anon, check the performances of the old gen graphics, you literally proved my point
>>502953225yes it is, but you're clearly just some tragic mindbroken /v/ seether so I won't go into it, don't play it if you don't want to

>GSCGENESTEALER CULTS3 HOURS WAIT RIP
>>502952980Oh sure, I played the game at launch too and loved it, but looking back a lot of shit was really barebones.
I can't believe it brehs, we're finally here.
>>502953357>/v/rent free
Why didn't they enable preload like every other game ever made?
>>502953531I like your filename.
>>502953069all the shills responding to this taking the obvious bait
>>502931225>gog version still not downloadable
>>502952959REEEEEEEEEEEEWHY DOES IT NEED SO MUCH SPACE!?!?!??!??REEEEEEEEEEEE
I hope that starting my download now doesn't mean I'm going to get hit by some day one patch immediately afterwards, this shit is already going to take me 5 hours to install as is
>>502953759Thank you. Filenaming is a dying art in this cesspit.
soon stalgers
I really really wish there had been a preload
>>502953628thanks for playing along anon. makes me feel good.
>>502945915Hunger is barely a hinderance. From my observation it only reduces stamina regeneration but there is plenty of food and stamina items to find
Theres no way i can play this on my 2080 super...
>>502953742I think they were afraid of people uploading it early, with the game not having DRM and all. I remember pre-ordering Dragon's Dogma, then torrenting it before the release.
what's your favourite mod to replay Clear sky with?
>>502953742Reviewers have said the game had more than 200GB of patches in the last few days, which you would have had to download, making the preload 400GB
>>502954162there's literally a screenshot of a 1080ti running it over 60 on low in this thread
wheres my dl link GOG, WHERE IS IT?
>>502954162My friend has a normal 2080 and he thinks he will be able to run the game at 1080p high with stable 60fps, he's in for a harsh reality check in a couple of minutes.
Gonna test myself but my PC sucks and is slow, can anyone let me know if COTZ Overhaul for IWP works for the final patch they released? I got a crash in Merc story mode trying to talk to the Boss.
GOG BROS WE'RE SO BACK>>502954290ITS HAPPENING NOW BRO
>>502953954I agree.
>if you don't have a CPU from within the last 24 months it's unironically over for you
I will burn my GTX 1060 to the ground playing STALKER 2.
>>502954209https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCcW8L9Ps3UThis just came out in alpha, might be worth a look.
>>502954162medium settings for you and me. Listened to a reviewer who played it on 3060 laptop gpu and he got 45 fps in outside area with it. 2080 should be enough for 50 - 60 fps medium imo
>>502954308guess i gotta go through the gog launcher, oh well
I'm ready for some Eurojank.
Gamepassbros will I manage to download by the end of the month?
>06:54 remainingHURRY!!
>4080 super and 7800x3d>will probably still fail to get over 60-70 fps on 1440p because my autism demands i leave chrome and other shit running in the background
>>502954560Lol same shit here. Prolly because everybody is downloading it right now.
How long until Slaanesh cultists start adding in the horse cock mods? One week? Two weeks? Next year?I'd kill for some guy to make a Trench Crusade themed mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2
>Enemies drop 4 bullets and 1 breadThanks Anomaly you stupid fucking niggers, thanks a lot.
>>502954661>just change everything about the game browe'll be lucky to get comprehensive bugfix and visual mods
>>502954685you can't rob them their gear? wtf
Not buying it yet until you anons play it for few hours. Need to see your feedback on performance and gameplay.
>>502954626bwo chrome has basically no performance dent on modern systems
getting zooted and booted in preparation
>>502954751Nope, muh hardcore realism. Never an issue until fucking modders started making Tarkov shit, now it's seeped in here as well. Pisses me off, stupidest fucking mod feature ever made.

>>502954974steam?its probably from everyone hitting the download servers at the same time like a fucking freight train whilest gog doesn't seem to be having this issue at the moment because no one uses it
I am waiting for the repack
>>502954346>cpu is 5yo>gpu is 4yoI'm curious to see how it will do
>>502954893You are literally lying, i watched multiple reviews where they looted guns from dead enemies, kill all /v/iggers
>>502954992Their installers were designed for distributing games from 1996, and they will make no effort to improve them for modern file sizes because Galaxy unfortunately exists
Jealous of you guys with fiberoptics.>>502955083You won't need a repack since it doesn't have any DRM, just go to the pirated gog .exe website.
lowest settings looking rough

It's time to split the general for good, one for STALKER2 and Anomaly/Gamma, the other for the discussing the original trilogy, its mods and the builds.
>>502955371Don't be a fag, stalker is stalker

>>502955231>>502955241tell us if theres a second patch after the initial download bros
>>502955371Splitting the general never ends well.
> GoG>only install option available is to download 40 separate files individuallywhat the fuck
>>502955638just wait for Fitgirl
Yeah I think we won!
>>502955495buy the game
>>502955667is it actually a girl?
where's the torrent
>>502955667I already bought it because I'm not a poorfag
>>502955667Maybe I want to support the devs.
>>502955638That's every GoG release ever. Wouldn't try it either, if I were you; the amount of connection errors on there will drive you insane. If it's a big game you'll either have to use GoG Galaxy or buy the game on there but download a torrent instead.
>>502955694no thanks, real fans pirate stalker games
still waiting for the gog rip torrent (i barely managed to save 200gb, no way in hell am i gonna be able to install it)
>>502955667>he posts in a game's general>won't support the struggling devs by buying their make or break highly anticipated decades in the zeitgeist sequelactual shameless parasite, or just underaged

How much do you pay for your gigabit connection? I'm paying something around $12 for my 100mbit/5mbit when converted to USD.
>>502955935The people who made the three first games which I love don't work at GSC anymore, you're giving your money to pepsiman the scammer
>try to launch game twice>both times gpu drivers crash and I have to rebootI'm both mad and disappointed
>>502956517latest drivers? nvidiar eleased ones for stalker 2
has anyone tried ini settings fuckery and disabled lumen to see what kind of performance you get or if it just breaks the lighting entirely?
>>50295637440 bucks for 60 down in Germany but what the fuck is up with that time? Mine took like 30-40 minutes.
>>502954974Swapped from the normal server I DL from to the one from the other side of the province filled with crackheads that can't afford a computer, just broke 700Mbps.
>>502956557yep, everything's updatedthe first one crashed while loading shaders and the second crash came from trying to change languagehere's hoping third time's the charm
>>502956649That's 100mbits for you, or 12.5mb/s so downloading 150gb takes about three and half hours.

>>502956909bandit hoe needs correction grrrr
>>502953780no arrow
>>502955495I'm just gonna play it on Game Pass until the GoG version leaks. Hopefully I can transfer my save file over because some games encrypt their game pass version's saves (Lies of P) but if not I'll just play it again.
