>>502957352No we're back
>>502957352It has only begun
>>502957352No, it's only just begun.
>>502957352its never been more over than it has been now bro

>>502957352WE'RE BACKIN THREE HOURS FUCK HAVING NO PRELOAD
>>502957352according to all the stalker fan reviews like cheeki breeki ai life atmosphere etc etc is all excellent, we are back, just need some performance fixes
>>502957112SIDOR CONFIRM?

>>502957315>3070It'll run great. It's a Microsoft game

>>502957442Buy the game you fucking asshole
>>502957442probably within the day, mostly because of how fuckhuge the game is and apparently the gog offline installer is split into 40 different fucking files
>>502957352we are so back is not even funny The fact that stalker 2 its real and its good...someone used the monolith I R L and caused the russian/ukraine war as the secondary effect of this existing at all

Just fucking end me already
>>502957784Mines used to be 20 MB/s and I'm down to 10 on average and as low as 5.
Anomalybros?? Damage report?!
Will it run?
The grass looks so bad, how is this an UE5 game?
letsfuckingGO
The reason for such shit performance is forced raytracing in form of nanite and lumen btw. Instead of doing manual rasterized lighting like any actual dev, gsc just shoved the most gpu demanding unoptimized shit possible while the game still looks last gen at the same time. Mods won't fix it btw, unreal engine 5 was a mistake.
>>502958121You might make it to the main menu.
>>502958317>4090it will crash to desktop>Intel UHD graphics240fps 1% lows

>>502957586No.
>32 GB RAM RecommendedWhy do video games need so much RAM all of a sudden? The fuck does it DO with it? Make NPCs more life-like?>Inb4 it's crypto mining
>>502958045oops, forgot pic
>>502958418the fuck is/does DLSS even do?
>>502957569I was looking for those ones, but it seems she already deleted them. They were on Instagram as far as I remember, 3 or 4, but they're not there anymore
>>502958486Nostalgic af. We're truly going back in time with this one.
>>502958608those are skinny dude legs
>>502958127blyaaattt((((
>>502958460In this case it's probably crypto mining, considering it's fucking Grigorovich. In a normal case, it's faster to run most things from RAM than it is to computer them on demand, so games will offload all they can to it. Unreal is a piece of shit and these are drunken slav cocksuckers so there might be a million+1 memory leaks.
>>502958460>crypto miningIs that technically legal for something to ship with a crypto mining feature buried under the hood?Cuz if it is, that's going to be the future we get.
>>502958460>cryptoWould be fucking funny, especially with the wording on the EULA.Probably just constantly rendering anomalies, which would explain why the AI and enemies are complete fucking garbage. All the processing, cache and rendering power is used on anomalies.
>>502958608sticc
>>502958460Ram has been getting exponentially bigger and cheaper over the yearsSo devs just go "Well 32gb ram is like $50 so might as well make the game use it"And honestly they are not wrong. Ram is so cheap theres literally no reason to not have minimum 32gb ram.
Tim Sweeney deserves the rope
>>502958608are you telling me nobody has an archive of his feet pics? what world are we living in?
>>502958883I don't know if you all were stalking her. I usually don't save instagram pics.

>>502959449I only played gamma, I hope it's similar
Let me tell you, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the biggest, boldest, most BEAUTIFUL comeback story in gaming history. This isn’t just a game, folks—this is a triumph of humanity, a beacon of hope in the Zone of despair. People said, “It’s so over.” The doubters, the haters—they wanted to bury it. They thought the Zone had claimed another victim. BUT GUESS WHAT? SLAVA UKRAINI! IT’S BACK, AND IT’S BETTER THAN EVER!The devs? Heroes. Absolute CHAD ENERGY pouring into every pixel. They stared down the most Cursed Anomalies IRL—bureaucracy, delays, and literal WAR, folks, not the pretend kind—and they said, “No. Not today.” They crafted this masterpiece under conditions most devs couldn’t even fathom. And now? We’re out here, looting artifacts, dodging bloodsuckers, and vibing like kings in the Zone.And let’s talk about the Zone, okay? It’s more immersive, more radiated, more ZONAL than ever before. You can practically feel the Chornobyl dust on your boots. Every gunshot, every mutant growl—it screams, “We’re back, baby, and we’re never leaving again!” This isn’t just a W—it’s a Nuclear W. A GigaChad Victory Royale.The haters? They're still stuck on Floor 5 in life. But us? WE’RE BUILT DIFFERENT. The Zone is alive, and so are we. SLAVA UKRAINI! SLAVA THE ZONE! AND SLAVA TO THE GAMERS WHO BELIEVED! Let’s go, Stalkers. We’re so back, it’s insane. UNINSTALL DOUBT. INSTALL STALKER 2. GOATED WITH THE RADIATED SAUCE!
If any AMDfags get in soon, could you tell me how the performance is for you?>6600XT
Gonna wait until rutracker jannies verify this game doesn't do something funny if it detects russian region settings in binblows>4070 Ti>32 GB RAMFeeling good
>>502959449play GAMMA. it inspired Tarkov, so it is a very good game. it is also free
ive heard it's exactly what you can expect from STALKER, but with shit performance... so ill wait for patches and mods, and maybe a new pc
My download rate just skyrocketed. GOGchads we are so back!
>>502959847give it back

any 3070ti bros downloading/playing?

i bought it on xbox, i dont think my 6650xt could handle thisbtw do NOT go in here
>>502958534Games use Temporal Anti Aliasing, in other words your current frame is comprised of the current and the previous frames to smooth out edges and some other shit. DLSS is this process, but you run your game as a lower native resolution and during the mashing process, it gets upscaled to your native resolution with le power of artificial intelligence. They recommend 3070ti for High so I hope I'll be good.I'll get a 5700X3D soon.
>>502958062In that case I'm torrenting it twice
>>502960008Accepting DLSS 3.0 as our lord and savior presently
>>502960016yes
Well. Is it fun?
what's that youtube channel that gives actual useful graphics setting info w/ tests and shit

Alright where is the UE5 config that unfucks the performance?

>>502961313jesus christ this looks like first person gta on the ps4
>>502961313Yeah the graphics are meh. Just give me STALKAN....
Is it worth waiting for the bugs to be smoothed out over the next couple weeks or is it playing well with the day one patch?
>>502961313Hey VsauceMichael hereIs the Zone really expanding?
So where can I torrent it in a few hours?

>be anon who kept crashing>figured out windowed mode works>get in gameplay>try borderless windowed>it works>yay!>try to change brightness>driver crash and have to rebootit's really funny to me that they managed to keep the instabilities of Xray Engine into UE
>yet another buggy releaseWhy do people just accept that? Rather, why do people sometimes turn a blind eye to it? DD2 and Bethesda games get absolutely demolish for having bad performance on release, but other games like this one are fine? I really want to go back to the zone, but I'm not paying until the game is actually playable.
SIRS IS THIS NORMAL???
>>502962203I always had issues with UE, I hate that engine with a passion.
Dude the weapons give off NO LIGHTING when they're fired.

>>502962306Yes if you're decrypting the dl or compiling shaders

>>502962429>devs who had to be tardwrangled into releasing a game VS M$ sponsored AAA gameLol
>>502962429This is not SoC. This is a big, mainstream AAA production with a cinematic experience and GOTY expectations.
>>502959759I have same card as you and still have R5 3600.
>>502962242As much as the modern AAA games do that but never had problems with it in the past S.T.A.L.K.E.R. always had buggy releases and that's part of the charm.
>>502962510Tim Epic spent all of their money losing a lawsuit against Apple instead of making a good game engine
Nah I'm going to play the COD 6 campaign while it downloads.
>downloaded>ran>looks goodTime for work.
>>502962242It's okay to get buggy releases because games released with bugs 20 years ago too or some shit like that, some glue eating brown nosing retard told me.
>>502962242Buggy releases are a new standard actually, Bethesda games are disliked because they are just shit in general

Everything just feels and looks so floaty and weightless. Like even sweeping my aim side to side just feels like my stalker is underwater. Nothing feels grounded or snappy like its being affected by gravity, its so offputting.

First bloodsucker a cunt, I hoped you could kill him with a knife better than a rifle like in Stalker AMK, currently playing on Veteran, I hate to say that I had to cheese him by hopping around the tables. I noticed the first humans saw me right away even though I was with the light off and crouching, is Stealth going to be pretty much impossible like in Stalker SoC?

You arent supposed to kill the bloodcyka at the beginning on veteran are you?
Bruh, come on man. 6700 xt and 5600 I left everything on default and ended up with 55 FPS then turned everything down to medium and won exactly 3 frames. Fuck sake, I literally can't play like this,
>>502965980i was able to, he's super fucking spongy thoi think they made the mutants spongier the higher the difficulty because on veteran i can one tap the bandits with headshots afterwards no problem with an AK
>>502965953GAMMA IS IN
Why does reloading a save sometimes just kill your fps?
>>502966234Because the game is a technical mess
>>502965947The game isn't balanced for lean
So is manual leaning still a thing? Should be c and v by default if earlier demos/leaks are any indication
>>502966135console bros we cant stop winning
>>502966135Came here to see if it's just me. I'm on 7800xt and got the same frames.
>>502965953probably like a few months from now, I mean the mods are all there just have to be ported to stalger 2 :^)
>>502966234>>502966305It's happened to me like 5 out of 8 reloads now and every time the only way to fix it is to close the entire game, reboot, compile shaders for a minute, and then reload the save. It's a bit unbearable. Going back to IWP, maybe I'll win Veno's giveaway and can refund the game.
Not gonna lie bros. There's a strong possibility that GSC tries to shut down Anomaly, I don't think people are gonna vibe with this for very long. It doesn't run well, far too many bugs, and desu the controls are just straight up ass. People will definitely flock to anomaly more after this if they want to play Stalker so yeah better download and keep that shit saved on your PC while you can.
>>502966609I hope they do but thats not gonna happen schizo
>>502965947>>502966428It is C and Z by default, but i moved it back to Q and E. You can lean, but you still get the contextual auto lean and vacuumed into cover when you ads near the wall/box.
modding status?
>>502966609I thought the modders might fix it soon, no?
I can't say I was expecting much but I'm still disappointed looking at gameplay and reviews.Maybe I'll play True Stalker or something. What the fuck is the point if A-Life isn't even there?
>>502966609it's literally impossible for them to do that at this pointanomaly has unironically reached more players than the trilogy, if they tried to close it down it would just be mirrored endlessly
>>502966760Anomaly 2 is already out
>>502966779They'll add A-life in a free update after the first two DLCs release :^)
>>502966759>It is C and Z by default, but i moved it back to Q and E.good, that auto suck lean not so good
>>502966791Yeah but that would mean going to trooncord and dealing with suspicious exes. I'm just saying, it's probably a good idea to have 1.5.1/1.5.2 saved on your PC permanently.
dlss off and all settings set to epic on 1440p im still getting above 150 fps
>>502966165Grok won.....
Richter: What is your ass still doing here?Also Richter: See ya :D
>>502966952>it's probably a good idea to have 1.5.1/1.5.2 saved on your PC permanently.I'm not a freeplaytard, anomaly will never be on my pc
>>502966952you're genuinely schizophrenicalso anomaly isn't stalker
Is CoP: Misery fun? I'm not a huge STALKER fan, but I greatly enjoyed SoC, though I enjoyed it more with Autumn Aurora. I'm mostly an atmosphere person. not gonna deny the pretty graphix of AA2 won me over when gameplay wasn't hooking me.
>>502966857memes outside, can you edit weapons and mutants stats and shit like that?
>>502966779It’s there. Official discord confirmed it
>>502966779A-Life is there supposedly lol it is just a botched version because ue5 bad, it seems, same with the lighting
Not going to lie bros: was very excited in a long time for today but it seems it is quite bad to play it now.I played Anomaly but I don't like the sandbox nature of it. I need some quests ( however bad ) to keep it structured and motivating.Op 2.2 is the only one that matches the description I think. I might finally try it now.
>>5029669564090 sirs...>>502967048are they asking for VSU donations?
>>502967048>trusting some slavic discord community manager who can lie with impunityLol?
i dont see settings for rtx? why does that nvidia video say 'rtx on'?
>Have exam today>If i pass and get my universal license get to leave early>Gonna be done in 15 minutes>Get to come home immediately and play stalker 2GOOD HUNTING STALKER
I would have just rather had them spend all those years fixing xray engine into something not held together by spit and tape and release polished remasters over this tbqh
>AI characters have dynamic flashlights>player doesn'twtf, why
>>502966779>Maybe I'll play True Stalker or somethingIronic
wait. did they really kill A-life?
>>502964361He just becomes C-Consciousness.
>>502967135Play SoC Update dumb frogposter>>502967232You expect new hires to understand decades old jank code from guys who quit the company years ago?
>>502967163>>502967162*yawn*
>>502967323no
>that french fucking faggot really saved stalkerI fucking KNEEL before GAMMA, legit hyped for the patch, will get stalker 2 next year though with some patches
>>502967297I legitimately think it's a bug they can't figure out. The guns have zero dynamic lighting, there is no muzzle flash lighting at all.
>>502963329>>502966234>>502966587This is actually cancer. I died to the bloodsucker in the beginning 3 times and every time I had to quit the game to get my fps back. Makes me not even want to play if every time I reload a save it's going to roll the dice on whether I get good fps or not.
>>502967297wholesome slavjankinerino, stop pointing out bad things nazi
this is what modern games look like without TAA.
>>502967178Raytracing is done through UE5 not RTX
>>502967372>You expect new hires to understand decades old jank code from guys who quit the company years ago?if a bunch of russians can make enough sense of it to near singlehandedly keep the series alive for over a decade, I think professional game devs should be able to
>>502967358What do you mean by this?
>>502967323
>>502967372>You expect new hires to understand decades old jank code from guys who quit the company years ago?If basement dwelling russian 13 year olds can do it for free, why can't someone who gets paid to code and make video games for a living?
first mod will be to remove safe-zones so that you can shoot the woman npc in the head
>>502967442Is there no DLAA?
>>502967545https://youtu.be/rzSxcy4mLJk?=ML33VoXfscNEuyhkThat's what I'm assuming going off the ending. It's pretty funny.
Why is the mouse sensitivity for looking up and down far slower/more sensitive than looking sideways? Why is it different to begin with?
>>502967569Because they're not hiring 13 year old russians>>502967519You're expecting too much from the games industry my son, it's not 2002 anymore
>>502967378>trusting some slavic discord community manager that can lie with impunityLol?
>>502967652>woman npcstill can't imagine why would they ruin immersion like this
>>502963576check rutracker when it's up
Torrent is up?
>>502967393Huh? Isn't Grok russian? I saw him posting in russian on the gamma discord. I had no idea he was French
>>502967893Why did people add Hip then?
>>502967393what so good about the patch? I played gamma about a year ago. Is something going to change significantly? Did he add more quests
>>502968102everyone hates hip
>>502968102It wasnt people who added her
>>502967297I'm STARTING to think they made the flashlight non-dynamic for the same reason they made it insanely dim, weak and shitty: they want the player to get an upgrade for it, or as a weapon addon. It tracks since they've made laser pointers a thing despite the fact that we have a crosshair and no free float.
HOW DO I DISABLE MOUSE ACCEL IN STALKER2HOW DO I SET MOUSE SENSITIVITY VALUES SMALLER THAN THE ALLOWED AMOUNTS IN OPTIONS, LIKE IN A CONSOLEANYONE KNOW? REEEEE
while i wait for downloading to finish anyone got some snake oil UE5 steam launch options that don't do anything?
>>502968194Who then?
>>502967729no dialogue?
the movement feels exactly like far cry. same exact movespeed
>>502967297HOW THE FUCK DO I GET A FLASHLIGHT PLEASE GOD
>>502968170>did he add more questsYes, there was a stream of some guy (I think Klean?) playing on the dev build and there were a bunch of new quests with a lot of dialogue and seemingly somewhat scripted as well(?). He also completely revamped the artifact system and made artifacts no long require those stupidly hard containers to craft, so now you can just slap artifacts onto your belt whenever you want. There are some changes to the gun repair system to make it less autistic as well. Some other good stuff that I can't really remember, but I just know I've seen nothing but good things. It's actually made me think about revisiting gamma as I haven't played it in a while.
>>502968170he will unfuck the artifacts, that means no more shitty misery containers, just fucking slap them on, some graphical stuff too>>502968010nah french faggot
>>502964853Welcome to video game industry circus
Runs at 80FPS in town with lighting turned down and foliage bottomed out.
>>502967792The developers behind the Metro games fell for the same meme. Must be something in the water.
is it over?
Where are the "your pc is too shit to run this" UE5 configs bros? I can't fucking play with DLSS, it's so blurry and dogshit looking.
>>502968617yeah, watched enough reviews to know it is not worth it to play now. Better to wait 2 years or so like I did with Cyberpunk and when I did play it, it became a top 10 all time for me.
I miss xray already, ue5 psychics SUCK
>monitor says 110 Hz>games runs at 55 FPSYeaaaah, I think I know what is going on here.

Haven't played in years, PC cant run S2. Should I- A. just play CoCk. B. try Anomaly even though it seems to be Misery 3.0 and gay. C. Play through CS, but sober this time.
How are we doing, xbox enjoyers? I'm really enjoying the game right now it plays great!
>>502968702I haven't touched the game yet.

>>502964021what does this have to do with stalker?
>>502968451hold tab and press e, you have it alreadyjust the tutorial doesnt tell you anything atleast not on veteran
i thought this thing wasn't going to give out lighting but here we are

I feel like players should petition steam to increase refund time for AAA games to 5 hours instead of 2. I've spent an hour 30m just tweaking settings trying to see if my pc can run the game properly and 40ish minutes of that time was sitting at the shader compilation screen
>>502969536the enemy ai is terrible. just refunded
>>502964952theperfectorganism.jpg
I am waiting to upgrade my computer next year before playing this game, how would you compare this game to the original trilogy? My favorite out of the free is CoP

>want to open door>DELICIOUS VODKAfucking games, stop switching around the interact button
HURRY THE FUCK UP
>>502968851they really do, the entire game doesn't feel like stalker at all
>>502969706she's an attractive woman who happened to be a big stalker fan, what do you mean what does it have to do with stalker?
>>502967729>Strelok becomes CCon>pulls some magic bullshit and elevates the Zone to a higher plane of existence>no one can leave or enter>"i will protect her. Always"What the fuck is this, unironically?Why such a change of character for Strelok? He didn't strike me as a WE CANT DO ANYTHING IN THE ZONE SHE WILL PUNISH US autist. He just wanted to study it at the end of COP
>>502969890HOW DO WE GO FROM THIS
what does this do?
3070bros, how bad does it run?
Ok I'm going to say it: the game is fucking terrible and completely shitting on the legacy of stalker.Shit AI, shit performance, bad lighting and the story and gameplay are mid.
>>502970173>woman
>>502970231Thank you for your "I played for 10 minutes" take
wow the ai is fucking bad lmfao, shelving this for now hopefully they patch it quickly
>>502970214>replacing numerical values with some abstract adjectives cringe
>>502967792>>502968569Steamforums had the answerThey should make it an option in the UI.Meanwhile, put this in %APPDATA%\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows\Input.ini:[/script/engine.inputsettings]AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName="MouseX",AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.000000,Sensitivity=0.07,Exponent=1.000000,bInvert=False))AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName="MouseY",AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.000000,Sensitivity=0.07,Exponent=1.000000,bInvert=False))bEnableMouseSmoothing=FalsebViewAccelerationEnabled=False
>>502970346It's not like there is a way to accurately measure radiation, it's more *realistic* this way
The performance is an insult, sure, but the sensitivity is genuinely a bullet to the dome for me. This shit is absolutely unplayable. I feel like I'm using a controller.
>strelok x zone OTP
>>502970297brown hands typed this
>>502970176Because the zone is now in allegory for Ukraine, Strelok is an allegory for the Ukrainian military, and the people he now wants to protect it from are allegories for Russians. Yes I am serious, that is almost certainly what they were going for.Don't you just love modern politics being injected into everything? Don't you just love how subtlety doesn't exist anymore because modern audiences are too stupid to understand it?

>>502969883who knows its been out for like an hour besides streamers runs like a clock if you are not poorbesides that what i can sy is it feels stalker not metro like some faggots were sayingthe char moves real fast but the weapons animations are really slowmuties are a sponge, but humans early die t oa headshotlooks amazing atleast during nightyou can remove pretty much all markers and the HUGE original stalker weapon rectangle
Yeah this is not it stalkerbros. Game runs like shit, fucking hate UE5
>>502970498Why can't you do it from the game's settings menu?
>>502970816It's VERY interesting to see S2 with trilogy graphics. This will help to more objectively evaluate the gameplay, story and changes
>>502970921Because that would make sense.
>>502970498when doing this make sure your save doesnt have your sensitivity at 0% already in the menu, because you wont be able to lower itset it to like 50%, then apply that input.ini and then try it
Give it to me straight bros, no yanking my chain. Is it over or are we back?
>>502965387>these are the kinds of "people" who get mad about games
>>502970921honestly if they just had something like the xray console you could do it there, but not even that, sad!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS JUST GIVE ME THE GAME ALREADY FUUUUUUUUUU
>>502970816>>502971052>>502969481Is it possible to replace textures and sounds rn? 3D models? Animations? Configs and scripts?
Im gonna be 100% honestI would 100% prefer it to stay on xray and have soc graphics, just all that new stuff, on top of xray UE5 is gay slop
Is there any romance in this game? Any cute waifus or coomchad content?
>300 fps and maxed out gpu usage on shader compilation screenthis shit is worse than steam next fest demos
>>502965779>Is UE5 really a huge fucking meme?Yes. That's what happens when you take your game engine and then spend all development time on features that are only useful for rendering CGI for movies or bullshots.UE5 will never be even half as successful as UE4 was.
>>502971149scratch that, sensitivity is still insanely high, guess need to change the values in input.ini
what's causing the input lag? what do I turn off?
>>502971420give it time, female npcs exist as vendors, im working on a topless vendor mod atm.
>>502971310idk, havent downloaded like i said.but its probably pssible to mod the ini files.
>no gog torrentgrim
>>502971291Bro I still have another 3 hours to go.
>>502971542>>502970498but it gives insanely high sens and im trying to figoure out how to lower
>>502971167Only normies who shit themselves over graphics (but don't even know what dynamic shadows are) and people who never played the trilogy and paid shills think we are "back" even though they never "were" in the first place. If you have a 4090 and 7800x3d with 64gb of ddr5 ram and also can excuse UE5's horrible physics and a "REMEMBER THIS GUY?" style story, then I guess you are "back" but if you like the original trilogy gameplay or you don't own a 4000 series card, then you are very much not back.

>>502970032The Xbox app is so fucking shit at download speeds. I was dowloading at 110mb/s at peak whereas I typically have 600mb/s. There are posts going back two years or more of people complaining about slow DL on the app. Idk how Microsoft screws that up.
welp, game sucks, guess I'll go play WoW until gamma update and hope patches fix this garbage (it never will) and modding will fix it (modding can't fix Unreal)

>>502972639well, i mean they can at least fix ai and add content like faction wars, but yeah, mod wise this game's future looks kind of grim

I heard A life is a lie and doesn’t exist as the game uses more handplaced AI scenario spawns?
>>502972989wowgood thing the originals didn't have it
>>502971430That's because shader compilation is a cpu action.

>>502970498that without like 2 and 3 will give normal sens and it seems to still get rid of accel, maybe?
>>502973095we need more time to definitively decide on that, so far looks like either A-Life is dumbed down/buggy or it's not in and we've got some other AI slophonestly we need anons to progress trough the game and give their 2 cents, how fights actually feel, mob popping, etc

>>502974186I think I might be triggered that someone thought this is a better option than F1-F4.
>>502973095It's there, it's just shit.>It’s a beefy game that crumbles under its own weight, but those technical ambitions don’t always feel worth the effort. Take A-Life 2.0 for example, which the game’s official website touts as a “life-simulating system that builds a holistic live environment where the player’s actions have an impact on the world of the Zone.” On paper, it would be akin to seeing NPCs, mutants, and anomalies reacting to one another to make the Exclusion Zone feel alive.>This is far from what actually goes on in my playthrough. At best, I can describe it as the AI Director from Left 4 Dead sporadically throwing enemies my way. Sometimes I’d clear a small area as part of a repeatable quest. Just when I thought there were no enemies left, a squad of bandits would suddenly spawn, even though there was no inkling that they even existed or were near the location. I figure this might be why some generic NPCs have randomly generated names; they were made to spawn in that spot so you could at least encounter someone or something.
>>502973874Yep, after the tutorial I'm really enjoying running around and hobo moding it. Will see if it sticks
Hopefully someone will fix this bug

>>502974565is the black guy at least a merc
>anomaly turns you blackwhat terrible fate
So its not over, because it does FEEL like STALKER, at least somewhat; but we're not back, because they obviously need go to fix some stuff...I think I'll go back to Minecraft for the next couple months
that black thing makes me wanna play even more now just so i can kill it

The sensitivity is killing every aspect of possible fun I might have. How can anyone put accurate shots down range with this soapy controler-tier aiming?

I tried to run STALKER 2 and my PC bluescreened after like five minutes while the game was compiling the shaders.

>Game runs like shit but it doesn't crash every 30 minutes like CoP on release.A true 7-8 of 10 Grigorovich did it again. I'll look forward to playing it in a year after the mods and patches make it not run like dog shit and fix the lobotomized A-Life 2.0.

Redpill me, how is the game?
>>502975623yeah, but CoP wasn't in development for 10 years...

Someone on the c-con discord said moddb snt allowed to host STALKER 2 mods, only nexus and the reason is a vague "legal reasons" comment from GSC.Can anyone else confirm this?

anyone got a blowout?
Whats it like playing with a controller? I got carpal tunnel, I have to wear and brace and limit my time if I use keyboard and mouse.
>>502976758It’s not.
>>502977035that's the best stalker song bros..
>>502975837I'm actually playing it unlike the shitposting replies you got. The prologue is railroaded and boring, but after that it actually feels like Stalker. I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
>>502977313Probably like playing Far Cry on a controller
>>502977229Blowouts only happen during story missions now, kind of like the first game.
Is it good
>>502977415FOR FUCKING SERIOUS? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
one hundred gorillion mutant dogs spawning at once, man
Wait who did they get to make the music?Is it at least dark ambient?
>>502977443yes.
>>502977443Reply hazy, ask again later.
On one hand the game feels like total shite so far but on the other Skif is a total badass forcing me to enjoy myself.
music and ambience is good the only let down is unreal engine 5
>>502977415>Blowouts only happen during story missionschat is this real?

>>502974506I blame Microsoft
>>502977415goodBlowouts becoming random weather events is the most annoying shit ever and normalizing them was a huge mistake. They should be huge events.
Serious question - No shitposting or political autism derailing:Is the game majorly pozzed (DEI and progressive messages being pushed on you)? I'm asking because I don't want to give money to such projects and can't ask on /v/ since it's just shitposting faggots. Just seek a honest answer and no culture war shit-flinging.
>>502977565>unreal engine 5 is bad because... because... it just is!

>>502977483i second this, large chunk of originals' atmosphere was thanks to the dark ambient soundtrack in the background. i fear stalker 2 has a generic cinematicslop soundtrack (i have not played it yet so i don't know)
I can't play STALKER 2 until I update my PC after a few weeks. So I'm going to avoid /sg/ until then because spoilers.Cheers, anon.

It just doesn't feel like stalker. It feels like some AAA slop wearing a Stalker skinsuit. I'm sure mods will do wonders with the game, but that could be years from now. I'm off to work now and I'm really hoping I get home to see some optimization videos or mods, because right now the FPS fucking itself after reloads has really made me not want to play at all.

>>502978791Whoever built this into UE needs to be dragged out into the streets, beaten with a rusty, spiked iron club, have said club stuffed up their ass, then whipped around by said anally lodged spiked club until near death, then forced to recover without anesthetics and put through the whole process again.It's fucking horrible, adds nothing, and actively detracts from the visual fidelity of any scene, all because "hurr durr when ya go thru da door da eyez gottza ajusd tah duh lieds HERRRURURURR".I fucking hate this shit so much you wouldn't believe, I don't walk out of my house on a sunny day and instantly go blind just because there's different light levels between my front hall and the front steps.This shit needs to die along with real time raytracing and other "good on paper, dogshit in execution" systems that have proven to be absolutely awful.I fucking hate UE5 and the troglodytes that promote it because it makes pretty cutscenes.Games pretty alright otherwise tho.
>>502980413everything you just typed out is slavjankinoerino, stop complaining nazi this is what stalker is
>>502980413I dont really care about any of that except the AI being bad. I feel like that was the only reason people like stalker, the world feeling alive. Metro is slop comparatively

>that first poltergeist What a fucking CUNT.
>>502982516>>502982104Ziggers just shitting the game where they can. Thats why
>>502982104They wanted a big tortanic flop game to make fun of instead of a jankfest slavic shooter that lives up to its promise of being a jankfest slavic shooter. Even more so because Stalker is Ukrainian and they haven't been quiet about it so the thirdies who are generally against anything that is the current thing(read: anything anti-west) took umbrage with it.

>>502983821Yeah and the rest of them fled the country, doesn't that make them traitors in your book? Stupid fucking brain-rotted tranny.
>>502983775>phantoms don't bleedYou don't say, retard.
>>502983847i dont know if i google translated it properly but it says PHANTOMS DON'T BLEED
>>502984051see>>502984007>The bloodsucker doesn't have much HP, you just need to figure out how to fight smart. I stayed on top of the tank in the anomaly.

>>502983821He worked on clear sky so it was deserved
>>502957352Heard the game was gonna be shit but its basically just Stalker Remastered
BRO I CANNOT SEE A FUCKING THING WITH THIS TRASH ASS FLASHLIGHTWHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
>>502983963Nah, I'm having a good time so far
what
>>502984007>has compass and crosshair enabledHow far has this general fallen.
>>502984408ogey
PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A FLASHLIGHT MOD FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>502984210Put a bullet in your head and save us all the trouble of dealing with you, neo-eunuch
How is the ai different than old stalker?
>>502984342>>502984524Just like the good ol days
autolean needs to be turned off for mouse and keyboard
>>502984547says the pol rightoid schizo nogger that comes to generals to ask about MUH DEIjust kys
how basic is the weapon modification?
>>502984342there's a lot of questionable shit you'll soon run into. console first game btw
>>502984210>it doesnt work like thatYes it does you mentally ill faggotI don't need to pick a side for conflicts on the other side of the world
>>502984432Absolute stupidest fucking meme in the general.
>>502983458>>502983476I literally replayed the trilogy last week, you sound like the most condescending stupid asshole
has anyone spotted the ghost of kiyeiv?
>>502984210>400 ruShouldn't it be hryvnia
>>502984706this autolean FAGGOTRY and this flashlight is about the ruin the entire game for me unironically. I can't stand this
>>502984960Haha
best stalker game of all time or best game in general of all time?
>>502984863I don't live in Rhode Island.
>>502984701It's just CoP.You have attachments and stat upgrades at the tech.
>>502984885Wasn't it always (soviet) rub?
>>502980756he stepped into a tornado anomaly. you can't really leave those once you get sucked in but they don't insta kill you. the player in the webm is at 50% health.the gravitational anomalies can be bypassed or even be used to boost up certain places if you sprint inside them and get the timing right but this might be a bug idk
>>502985062Depends on how good the mod scene is, as far as base Stalker games go yes this is the most palatable experience.
>>502984960wait till you figure out how the F1-F2-F3 hotkeys work now. or how loading a quicksave (that ISN'T an auto save) destroys your framerate.console first game
>>502980756secondarysister....
>>502984701very basic. lacks video gamey type modifications (fallout etc), and only has semi-realistic modifications but with no where near the depth of tarkov. you can do things like attaching sights, silencers and laser pointers but the rest is just generic 'increase accuracy' or 'reduce weight'.
Bratan! Pomogitye!
doesn't run on my 2060 at allguess I will install the Anomaly meme mod for the first time
Woah! This nigga got shot and lost an arm!it was glitched inside his torso lol
>>502985329bro its kinda bad on console too, the aiming feels floaty and sluggish, gun fights are extremely hard because of it, and the FPS chugs pretty hard some places
>>502985382fucking hell i need to upgrade from my 3080.
>>502985424YOU SEE IVAN WHEN YOU HAVE NO HAND, YOU CAN'T HELP FELLOW MAN
>>502985424>>502985686Is it possible to learn this power
>>502985239Why does that kitten look like that?
Bros are we in Zaton?
>>502986006Not from a Russian.
can't sleep because im too fucking hungry
does Degtyarev appear in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
>>502986113How can anyone play with pc stats like that, I would focus on them more than in the game itself.
How many weapons are there and is my beloved AS Val in
keep the poz bucket flowing
has anyone seen any duty or freedom stalkers?
>>502986057Brain Scorcher.
>>502986341Poor kitty
>>502986316Only Monolith so far
>>502986316They removed factions
>>502986212I'm just testing the waters.>it crashed
too fast
>>502986113Yeah it's the same ship from the Beard's task.They heavily retconned zaton and CoP storyline by extension.
>>502986545>and CoP storylineWhat did they change about CoP?
>>502985559Aw man, I just upgraded to a 3080
>>502986545I'm glad they made the Zone geographically correct this time. It was weird Pripyat being South of the CNPP etc.
>>502986626For one the Military isn't as incompetent.
>>502986261yeah. AS VAL and the VSS Vintorez are in. Their shooting sound is very satisfying
Picked up the guitar but it's not in my inventory. What's going on here?
>>502986645Fucking why? The new generation is about to release.
>>502983658anyone tried the ini edits? do they help?
WHY THE FUCK IT COMPILES SHADERS EVERY TIME I RUN THE GAMEVOLODMOR ZOLONSKOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>502986184Yeah he was in the leaks.
>>502986721godbless!
>>502986879Bitcoin miner to fund the war
>>502986754It was 300 bucks and I don't buy GPU's new>TKDTJ
>>502986879You just know they did this so it builds more Steam time so you can't refund
>>502986879uhhm anon are you from /vee/? why are you even complaining?
>>502986879you ungrateful little bitchwe are at FUCKING WAR you know
>>502986879
>>502987164Can't believe they introduced a virus that bricks your computer if you die at the end of the game
>>502986645game runs fine on 3080, but it wont look realistic af like that screenshot
>>502986738Oh, it's in the radial menu for some reason. I turned that shite off, FUCK. Anyways, you can play individual chords and it accurately animates your left hand too.
>>502987492Fuck I didn't mean to send this so early I'm sorry ignore this I'm gonna kill myself for real I'm gonna do it this time I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
>>502986626I'm not gonna spoil degtyarev stuff in S2, but his mission makes no fucking sense with how the zaton is located at the south border and not after the brain scorcher (by the CNPP). Also stalker's complaining about zaton not being klondike of artefacts when they came there after BS was turned off e.t.c.
>>502987591*smooch*
>>502987670Thank you...
>>502987402Bruh, there is a distinction between strokes too. Going to spend hundreds of hours on this, no doubt.
>>502986931YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!
will i be able to run it on low settings with my 1660 super?
>>502987591> 3600Swap it with 57003d/58003d and call it a day
>stealth doesn't work>enemies literally spawning behind you in an area you just cleared>taking cover doesn't help, if you expose a single pixel to them they'll shoot you and you start bleeding>aiming feels cumbersome and floaty>shitass introGod now i know for sure to never pre-order a game again, i was the fool yet again.
>>502987591Hahaha
Hunt down the black stalker and kill it and post a pic for a prize!
>>502987821no, does not run on my 2060
>>502987846Dont spread rumors asshole
>>502987918fuuuuuuuuuuuuug
>>502987821it's not a good game
>>502987402they added minor shit like this while the game is barely playableit really is shoc all over again kek
>Mfw going in with a 1070 Founders Edition
Does anyone know if this game has nightvision?
>default binds use the same key for multiple commands>can't bind new keys to multiple commandsAs an ESDFchad I am in fucking shambles
Maybe the Hohols deserve to be wiped out after all by the Russians if this is the shit they make us wait 10 years for
What's the verdict stalker sisters, do I just stick to analmeme and wait for ZRP?
>>502988194Go back to v fag
>>502980854i am installing it now
>>502988070Modded into helmets same way it was in CoP>>502988046It's over bro
>>502988280It doesn't crash all the time like SHOC on release so if you're fine with bugs and shit performance you don't need to wait for any mods to fix it.
>>502988325
>>502988194>-sent from my mothers basement
>>502988046It's running alright so far on my Vega 56 using the High Preset. The intro was rough, but after that it's playable. Although I must admit that I'm somewhat resistent to bad framerates as long as they are consistently bad. I set the cap at 30 and while it occasionally drops below that I don't mind.
I would ditch my 2060 in a heartbeat but current GPU prices are straight up insane>over 2k for a 4090>over 1k for a 4080
>>502988719kek
I have a 3080ti and ryzen 5900x I hope it runs well for me
Do any bros know where this artifact is supposed to be, I've been spinning in circles while it beeps but nothing is coming up
APOLOGIZE
>>502987287That's OK, I'm used to it. I just want it to be functional. Managed to sell my old card for 250 so about 70 bucks for ~45% performance increase is GEFGW.
It honestly feels like what I imagined a stalker 2 would feel like. Feels comfy.
>>502987836Ehich one?
>>502989057Can you get inside the thing?
downloading anomaly while i still can, insane how they did it better than these retards
>>502987164fucking lol
>>502989207>while i still canbrain damage.
>>502989059for what
>>502989183Nyo, it was on the floor below where no anomalies were.
>>502989059Thank you grok for making stalker 2 possible
>>502985559This is on a 2080 Super on Medium settings dude
you are expected to get 100+ hours of gameplay out of this btw
>>502989059that's right gammafags, apologize right now.
>>502986645My 12gb 3080 is handling it fine at 1440p.
>>502988280wait for ray of hope
english or ukranian?
>>502989484I heard 30-40 hours of main story gameplay with sidequests being who knows how many hours.
what happened to looting meat off mutants
>>502989059Nah, GAMMA is shit. Anomaly is fine and if you install a select few mods to change some stuff and balance the economy to the way you like its a great sandbox. GAMMA has was too much shit on it its barely even stalker.
>>502989059It really is a peak of stalkan series.Especially if you play Invictus like a real man.
Why did they have to use UE5 why why WHY
>>502989162Depends on price. You can find ligit 57003d on aliexpress for like >130usd with coupons. You cant beat that price/performance
>>502989614russ- i mean uh, ukranian
>>502988998i just got a used 3070ti on ebay for $300 and its running fine.
groks shitty ballistics mod is what ruins gamma otherwise it'd be fine
>>502989359What does the anomalous chocolate do?
>>502989057it beeps faster the closer you getyou arent close enough
>>502989772I'm not dabbling into used GPUs, from experience it's playing russian roulette with your walletat this price I'd rather buy a brand new 4060Ti
>>502989614Slavic with English text

>>502988280Fuck abobaly, IWP is better anon
>>502990259Yes, you should buy the most expensive version of it right now.
>>502990259It's unrealslop slavjank and not in a good way.
>>502989614The ukrainian dub is really good. I don't understand shit of course, but the voice actors sound more skilled than the ones in Metro 2033 and Last Light.
>>502990259It actually feels like Stalker. Only "negative" so far is the railroaded and scripted prologue.
did they really remove factions? thats fucking gay if they did
>>502990564How long does the prologue last?
>>502990027Honestly it's getting in the way of my screens anyway>>502990259I'm enjoying it so far, it feels like stalker.
>Get into that initial scientist bunker, game crashes constantly.>Need to rush through it and reach the first ship with the poltergiest; crashes again.Imma wait for a patch. I took the day off for this garbage.

bros..
>>502990643so there is no freedom or duty ?
>>502990635About an hour. Just rush through it. None of your gear carries over so there's no point in exploring. You can probably finish in 30 minutes.
i miss the english-slavic accent dub. fucking bong voice acting i hate it. i think the mc has an american voice but idk why they went this way.

Is everyone using the base image correction settings? Gamma, contrast and brightness are all 50% for me but the game just seems bleached, its bright as hell at night, then super dark in tunnels and caves, something doesn't seem right and toggling the settings is doing nothing. Any screenshots I take seem to be coming out perfectly though, but in game isn't reflecting it.
To those still playing SoC Update, is it just me or are artifacts barely existent? Agroprom which is usually flooded with them is empty, and also, how the FUCK do you get a flashlight?
>>502991131Yes gear carries over if you put it in the safe at the house you rushing faggot
>>502991070They've been namedropped a few times so far.
>>502992075I set my Gamma to 40 so that the symbol on the left was two or three steps from becoming invisible and left everything else alone.

>>502992532apparently fortnite is on ue5, that game runs great, I think its just lazy devs that haven't figured out a new engine

I played for 4 hours, according to first impressions, this is the game of the year, everything is too good, if it continues to be the same, then this is definitely the game of the year.
>>502997805This post convinced me to buy the game.

>>502967039Misery 2.0 is dogshit, but Misery 1.0 could basically be looked at as Autumn Aurora for CoP (it's actually the other way around, AA2 took a lot of inspiration from it), so you might enjoy it. Although graphically it's too dead and barren for my tastes, but nothing a little Absolute Nature installed over it can't fix (you can even set it up with autumn textures, a lot of which are probably the same ones used by AA2)
