Untill they fix the A-life system, the new game will just feel like a far cry game, the NPCs don't feel alive, they feel like they're only their for you
I don't know why they say it's a far cry when the gun play is more similar to call of call of pripyat than anything else (if it's because of the compass or the detection indicator you can perfectly remove it), now the broken AI is the spawn of the rest, the behavior of the NPCs as bandits seems to me the same as they did in the previous stalkers (throw grenades like missiles, look for cover and flank), I would rather say that the mutants are improved although the annoying thing is how tanky they are and the other thing that is missing, for example random events like groups facing each other.

The reactions of NPCs in 2024 is very disappointing. Also look at the way the NPC's in combat react in the older games crouching while firing the Combat AI was so much better too.

There is something about unreal4,5 that makes me dislike many games.Like the texture,props,environment looks plastic and somewhat blurry even on good settings.I think unreal uses some kind of inbuilt TAA to smooth the edges which make the game look blurry and plastic.Also the physics of unreal engine is bad.

It is worth considering that in the new stalker there are no patches that will affect the behavior of NPCs, when the first stalker came out the situation was similar, it's just that after some time the game became what we see it now. + In the builds to the first stalker, the AI was so advanced that it could complete quests for you.
It’s not really that they complete the quests for you, it’s just that, say, a group of loners roaming around the zone met with a group of bandits, one of which was your target for a quest, who died in the resulting firefight. Or, another common one, pack of dogs near Rostok came too close to the duty squadron stationed there, and got killed. Obviously they can’t complete any of the fetch quests for you on their own. There is like one scripted AI fetch quest complete in CoP but you still have to get the item first for it to complete. And tbh these are the two major quest groups, kill or fetch. Another ones being guard, which can also not really be completed with AI.

So many missing features. Really wanted more survival features. Our stalker doesn’t need sleep, water, and can’t make camp. No looting mutants for food, and a ridiculous amount of floor loot. Also wish the game was less saturated. Makes it feel like I’m just playing far cry. Also miss the signature stalker clouds
@@cancerousnut7767 Tell me you never played the OG games without telling me you did. Go play more Anomaly or Gamma or what ever the hell you did play. You sure as hell did not play Stalker, becasue it had only rudimatary "survival" mechanics as in eating food, not even sleep nor water were a thing and the Bedroll was also only added to later games and exists as a mod in the first game.
@@bazzy5644 Played through SoC, and Pripyat. Skipped clear sky because I had enough trouble getting a playable experience for the first and third game. So skip that while “say x without saying x” copy paste “Wah wahhhh anomaly doesn’t represent what stalkers supposed to be, it’s a story game not a survival game” That’s a damn shame seeing that it’s outright better. So the sequel can’t incorporate cut content from the first games that was brought back in a free to play fan mod? Because that’s what a lot of the anomaly additions are I stg some of you diehard fans are so funny. Not even the Tarkov fanbase is this stubborn. I could go on there and ask for features the single player mod team has had for years, and I wouldn’t get a gremlin below and above me complaining about it. They’ve added so many features because they made the game better.
You should have upped the call of pripyat FOV, I know its tedious as you cannot do it in game, but it fucking sucks that you compare them while CoP is set to default 50 FOV.
Вы неправильно сравниваете. Первая часть Stalker вышла в 2007 году, и называлась "Тень Чернобыля". В 2008 году вышел аддон "Чистое небо", а в 2009 году вышел второй аддон "Зов Припяти". Поэтому корректно сравнивать Stalker 2 (2024) со Stalker 1 (2007). Она была очень плоха, там неработало ничего. Всё, что вы здесь увидели, в игре 2009 года уже было исправлено и доработано. Но это была уже третья игра в серии, поэтому нельзя её сравнивать со Stalker 2.
With some mods the original games hold up pretty well visually. For example, Starter Pack for Shadow of Chernobyl is a pretty big visual transformation that preserves 99% of the vanilla experience. Of course the OG trilogy will always look primitive in comparison to Stalker 2 even with the best mods. But gameplay wise they are just as good if not better. Especially the first and third games which both have a super tight main quest and a progression system that feels earned. The way Stalker 2 handles mutant spawns and A-Life in particular sucks. Way too many bloodsuckers, too many pop-up encounters where it feels like the AI is there just to put on a show for you. The Zone feels mysterious and alive in the old games, and when you found guys wandering around it felt like they had been there a while. And with the right mods it can still look pretty darn good. Particularly Anomaly with all of its accompanying mods can be especially pretty. Nearly as good looking as Stalker 2 in some ways. I still enjoy Stalker 2, and am overjoyed that it's actually a quite decent game. But the originals will always remain in my rotation.
The Zone doesn't seem alive the same way as it did before, in older games. And I don't think it's something that could be fixed. The optimization of the game is terrible as is, and implementing a full-fledged A-Life the same way it worked in older games would probably absolutely obliterate the performance. At least it would seem so, mods which tried to extend its range so far come with huge performance hits. Extremely sad byt unfortunately true
10:20 Ayo that's pretty impressive for such an old game 😮 13:10 now THAT'S epic Overall the game is good though they should've delayed it for a year or so. However I'm glad that so many people now have this as an introduction to stalker franchise
I don't understand what the problem is with making NPCs behave normally. They released it as is and are going to improve it after the release, that's strange.
I feel like some of the details are accidental and not deliberately added to impress - which is enjoy the most when they try to show off - ala Half Life Alyx etc.
In Call Of Pripyat you can kill yourself with you own weapon too. Just empty your mag in the air(aim above you and empty your mag, it works better with the M4 silencer on, and dont just fire like crazy, instead slowly, to manage the bullet spread.) and then wait till the bullets falls back from the sky. If you select the highest graphics settings, you can even see the bullets coming back at you. Just stand still and enjoy. xD Icing on the cake? Try RPG-7 in the same way, however you might need to run a bit to catch the rocket when it falls back.
I would think in real life it would be near impossible to do since it has to be perfectly straight and account for winds in the higher atmosphere. Also the closer to the South/North poles the bullet will return to the original shooting spot but closer to the equator it will deviate more East or West of the original shooting spot with perfect weather conditions. This test was down with dropping bullets instead of firing them as it would be stupid and illegal. Technically you would be more likely hit with stray bullets from other people firing bullets in the zone but that would enrage every player.
People who justify low FPS and poor graphics with the words “just look under what conditions they made it”, guys, you don’t want to know under what conditions and how many problems the developers encountered when releasing the first stalker.
First stalker had many bugs and horrible FPS and stutters. I am pretty sure they were not at war with their first game, just it was their first game is all. I could not play it until years later with a better PC. Also the graphics are great in this game.
STALKER 2 is a 2015 level game at best. The graphics 2018 at best stretched!, people and monster physics and movements 2010 ish. I felt more engrossed in Call of duty in the Chernobyl chapter than the robotic stalker games. All the doors, objects, buildings in STALKER 2 are just boxy and all cloned defentley not an AAA game. If you get the chance play Alan wake 2 or Senuas saga 2 and see 2024 graphics and physics. If stalker 2 had that it would deserve the parse. Maby STALKER 3 will, but who knows what graphics and physics games will have when it will come out... Call of duty Chernobyl chapter : th-cam.com/video/x3bfcM5vWpE/w-d-xo.html Its a play through. What do you think? I think the video is the 2016 remastered version, the original is 2007... 2007 Like in dinosaurs roamed then and it still feels more real than STALKER...
2024: *Game releases* people: "This game is so bad; it's a 2018 game at best" 2018: *Game releases* people: "This game is so bad; it's a 2012 game at best" 2012: *Game releases* people: "This game is so bad; it's a 2005 game at best" 2005: *Game releases* people: "This game is so bad; it's a 2000 game at best" 2000: *Game releases* people: "It's a masterpiece💦"
@@TeamYellowBS Depends on the game, like I said there are 2024 games that look 2024 in terms of graphics and physics etc you name it. And there are games that look dated. This happened in all the years. I liked the first Stalker a lot, and thats why I had high hopes for Stalker 2 in terms of graphics, NPC behaviour, story and physics... The new one is just the first one squeezed threw Unreal Engine 5... big let down.
you comparing one small level from cod campaign and other non open world games with whole big zone map. should i explain this isnt right? stalker surely isnt finished and it wasnt ready for release you can blame devs or not but you cant just compare like that
@@tapok665 witcher 3 that came out in 2015, thats allmost 10 yeas ago man, 10! Has a more immersive experience and less things that are cloned, every map, location has its onen unique arrangement to look different like the real world. In stalker 2 all the doors look the same, have rust or ware in the same places, some are even mirrored. Fuseboxes etc all cloned. In a fking 2024 game that took more than 10 years to make. And the way the NPC act talk look and express themselves in witcher 3 are convincing and real. Staker 2 robotic like in games that are 15 years old!
Everybody mentioned ai system im the only one have problem with autosave? Once I finished sirca i went to plant area, i died by mutant my autosave got corrupted and i couldn't load my save so this game promised and failed to deliver people having good time on PC but on console with its enormous bugs it takes you months to finish the game sad this is the new generation of vid games.
Not true at all. It shows us the studio which made these games hasn't. There are a boatload of these videos out there with multiple games getting compared. Many are even worse now, sure but there are quite a few doing things better as well.
Purpose-built engine (Xray) vs "mass-produced" one (Unreal Engine 5). I think older games were better in some ways because they were focused on the experience rather than the graphics. Though you can argue even back in 2007, tech was still a highlight of this series (physics, A.I., etc) but not the focus of the experience. While I like Stalker 2, it does feel like a plug for UE5's Nanite and Lumen kinda how launch day Cyberpunk 2077 was really more about Raytracing than a working game. That came afterwards and they had to work harder than needed to even gain some trust back as a studio. I'll give a break for GSC because of the circumstances behind the development of S2 but they gave us their word they will fix it. I hope they keep to that promise.
Seems like they are working hard on it. They have already released multiple patches to fix things and a new one is to be expected in the next few days. Their community manager is also active with the community to make sure everything is getting fixed. I have high hopes that it will be playable in a month and in the next few will be completely fixed. For me it already is playable as I'm mostly just exploring and not really doing quests
The game is good I'm 24 hours in but I have to say the AI is the worst I have ever come across in a game. You can't stealth kill and take out a base without being seen. They always lock on to your position even if you try to hide. I really hope it gets sorted soon.
The stealth is bad in the game, enemy's can spot you a distance away even through walls at times and shrubbery. It's basically broken. You can't even vault or climb a ledge. Story and lore is great but gameplay is its weakest point in my opinion. 6/10
Bruh do we have different games? In stalker 2 on my end they get mad if I even get close to them with a gun out or run if a grenade is thrown near them I’ve even had them follow me in town if I had my gun out and ignored them.
Man I feel scammed, and I only paid about 8 USD I would have gone insane if I had paid 70 bucks for this, nobody gives a crap about graphics bro, we want to play a game that runs at 30 fps minimum. Can't have shit
My fav is the memory leaks that result in guaranteed hitches after I’ve travelled about 8 Kilometers or loaded more than 3 saves. Having to restart every 30-60 minutes pisses me tf off. 12GB of VRam and 32GB of system memory and still full almost instantly.
Glad this was recommended, man i just wish they added all the a-life system into stalker 2 AND put some new things in it, that would be really great, liked and suscribed bratan!
@@danielwilke7574 I have been told by others that modders also confirm A-Life not in the game from digging around. That is why doing self-research is best in trying to find real answers. I just go by the Dev's information as that is the most correct answer which in the patch notes they tell you about A-Life being somewhat patched but still not fully working as it is supposed to be.
First time stalker player. I put 60 hours in. Such a shame that it could have been such a great game if they had focused on the combat and exploration. Ai are absolute trash. Rewards for slogging around are bandages and energy drinks. Please stop releasing games 50% finished…
Untill they fix the A-life system, the new game will just feel like a far cry game, the NPCs don't feel alive, they feel like they're only their for you

@@cancerousnut7767 Tell me you never played the OG games without telling me you did. Go play more Anomaly or Gamma or what ever the hell you did play. You sure as hell did not play Stalker, becasue it had only rudimatary "survival" mechanics as in eating food, not even sleep nor water were a thing and the Bedroll was also only added to later games and exists as a mod in the first game.
@@bazzy5644 Played through SoC, and Pripyat. Skipped clear sky because I had enough trouble getting a playable experience for the first and third game. So skip that while “say x without saying x” copy paste
“Wah wahhhh anomaly doesn’t represent what stalkers supposed to be, it’s a story game not a survival game” That’s a damn shame seeing that it’s outright better. So the sequel can’t incorporate cut content from the first games that was brought back in a free to play fan mod? Because that’s what a lot of the anomaly additions are
I stg some of you diehard fans are so funny. Not even the Tarkov fanbase is this stubborn. I could go on there and ask for features the single player mod team has had for years, and I wouldn’t get a gremlin below and above me complaining about it. They’ve added so many features because they made the game better.
Stalker 2 is just Mods from Stalker Anomaly&Gamma
Good video! Deserves some more love!
Thank you!🥰
Unreal Engine 5 is so ass, just damn. No graphics, no physics, no perfomamce, barely moddable AI...
Wow i didnt think id ever encounter someone this stupid!
all 50 hrs of playing stalker 2 this is the first time im seeing the attachment animations :DD
Я смотрю в stalker 2 где бы не стоял главный герой, звук падения гильз как на асфальт, будь то земля, вода ))
игра года
Магия Зоны
Почему в современных играх такие убогие взрывы...
In the old version, if you point a gun at someone, they will also point a gun at you, and the new version characters all look almost the same.
STALKER 2 (2024) vs. STALKER: Call of Pripyat (2009) | Physics and Details Comparison *
You should have upped the call of pripyat FOV, I know its tedious as you cannot do it in game, but it fucking sucks that you compare them while CoP is set to default 50 FOV.
Maybe, you're right, each gun in CoP looks like that short german shepherd
How do you change FOV? Is there a specific mod to download?
@@IMAJ3W4LIF3 Mod plus console command. Apparnetly you need to do it every time you play -.-

stalker Misery Mod has the best Emission approaching 💯💀
th-cam.com/video/-qCvp5mo4Zo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-WGBcAQ-e_QzVnRo
This is what I call a EMISSION 👆🏻
Вы неправильно сравниваете. Первая часть Stalker вышла в 2007 году, и называлась "Тень Чернобыля". В 2008 году вышел аддон "Чистое небо", а в 2009 году вышел второй аддон "Зов Припяти".
Поэтому корректно сравнивать Stalker 2 (2024) со Stalker 1 (2007). Она была очень плоха, там неработало ничего. Всё, что вы здесь увидели, в игре 2009 года уже было исправлено и доработано. Но это была уже третья игра в серии, поэтому нельзя её сравнивать со Stalker 2.
With some mods the original games hold up pretty well visually. For example, Starter Pack for Shadow of Chernobyl is a pretty big visual transformation that preserves 99% of the vanilla experience. Of course the OG trilogy will always look primitive in comparison to Stalker 2 even with the best mods. But gameplay wise they are just as good if not better. Especially the first and third games which both have a super tight main quest and a progression system that feels earned. The way Stalker 2 handles mutant spawns and A-Life in particular sucks. Way too many bloodsuckers, too many pop-up encounters where it feels like the AI is there just to put on a show for you. The Zone feels mysterious and alive in the old games, and when you found guys wandering around it felt like they had been there a while. And with the right mods it can still look pretty darn good. Particularly Anomaly with all of its accompanying mods can be especially pretty. Nearly as good looking as Stalker 2 in some ways. I still enjoy Stalker 2, and am overjoyed that it's actually a quite decent game. But the originals will always remain in my rotation.
I hate the new blood sucker slow-mo roar effect
The Zone doesn't seem alive the same way as it did before, in older games. And I don't think it's something that could be fixed. The optimization of the game is terrible as is, and implementing a full-fledged A-Life the same way it worked in older games would probably absolutely obliterate the performance. At least it would seem so, mods which tried to extend its range so far come with huge performance hits. Extremely sad byt unfortunately true
Лучшая реакция NPC была в легендарной игре Gothic (2001)
Great video but please you don't need to put background, STALKER already have great ambient sounds, please keep the natural sound of the games.
Stalker Anomaly the best
10:20 Ayo that's pretty impressive for such an old game 😮
13:10 now THAT'S epic
Overall the game is good though they should've delayed it for a year or so. However I'm glad that so many people now have this as an introduction to stalker franchise
I don't understand what the problem is with making NPCs behave normally. They released it as is and are going to improve it after the release, that's strange.
What is the name of the song playing in the video? I looked in the links in the description and couldn't find it.
There are actually a few of them. Tell me the timecode you are interested in
@TeamYellowBS the song that plays in the first half of the video.
just google "synth pop villatic_music" it's on pixabay
@@TeamYellowBS tks
2024 and finaly we have drink meal animation and some kind of rays and 144fps less we go forward!
I feel like some of the details are accidental and not deliberately added to impress - which is enjoy the most when they try to show off - ala Half Life Alyx etc.
STALKER 2024 is perfect game with perfect atmosphere but NPC suck. They see you in the night in dark forest like it was sunny day.
It’s not a perfect game then, u just contradicted urself. Personally I believe the state stalker 2 is in rn makes the game a solid 2/10 complete ass
Still awesome
In Call Of Pripyat you can kill yourself with you own weapon too. Just empty your mag in the air(aim above you and empty your mag, it works better with the M4 silencer on, and dont just fire like crazy, instead slowly, to manage the bullet spread.) and then wait till the bullets falls back from the sky. If you select the highest graphics settings, you can even see the bullets coming back at you. Just stand still and enjoy. xD Icing on the cake? Try RPG-7 in the same way, however you might need to run a bit to catch the rocket when it falls back.
I would think in real life it would be near impossible to do since it has to be perfectly straight and account for winds in the higher atmosphere. Also the closer to the South/North poles the bullet will return to the original shooting spot but closer to the equator it will deviate more East or West of the original shooting spot with perfect weather conditions. This test was down with dropping bullets instead of firing them as it would be stupid and illegal.
Technically you would be more likely hit with stray bullets from other people firing bullets in the zone but that would enrage every player.
Music name?
Imho, but when i was shooting near long enough they dragged their weapons at me. I was afraid to continue
That was at Varta's base north west to the Zaton
Stalker 2!!!! My LOVE!!! Steals is working!!! Great game!
I can see the low fps in Stalker 2 xD
in STALKER 2 they called gun Boomstick. Esh vs evil?
2:22 thanks moders
just play Gamma , stalker 2 is a dissapointment specially with the unreal 5 engine
your graphics settings in CoP are messed up, it shouldn't be so overexposed
Stalker Gamma is 10 times the game Stalker 2 is.
Im so disappointed in how much shit is broken in stalker 2
14:00 it's imposible that you have survived that
People who justify low FPS and poor graphics with the words “just look under what conditions they made it”,
guys, you don’t want to know under what conditions and how many problems the developers encountered when releasing the first stalker.
First stalker had many bugs and horrible FPS and stutters. I am pretty sure they were not at war with their first game, just it was their first game is all. I could not play it until years later with a better PC.
Also the graphics are great in this game.
7:14 The drop sounds of bullet makes no sense. It sounds like you dropped it on the concrete. Attention to detail is just not there.
STALKER 2 is a 2015 level game at best. The graphics 2018 at best stretched!, people and monster physics and movements 2010 ish.
I felt more engrossed in Call of duty in the Chernobyl chapter than the robotic stalker games. All the doors, objects, buildings in STALKER 2 are just boxy and all cloned defentley not an AAA game. If you get the chance play Alan wake 2 or Senuas saga 2 and see 2024 graphics and physics.
If stalker 2 had that it would deserve the parse. Maby STALKER 3 will, but who knows what graphics and physics games will have when it will come out...
Call of duty Chernobyl chapter : th-cam.com/video/x3bfcM5vWpE/w-d-xo.html Its a play through. What do you think? I think the video is the 2016 remastered version, the original is 2007... 2007 Like in dinosaurs roamed then and it still feels more real than STALKER...

@@TeamYellowBS Depends on the game, like I said there are 2024 games that look 2024 in terms of graphics and physics etc you name it. And there are games that look dated.
This happened in all the years. I liked the first Stalker a lot, and thats why I had high hopes for Stalker 2 in terms of graphics, NPC behaviour, story and physics... The new one is just the first one squeezed threw Unreal Engine 5... big let down.
Maybe your expectations were too high?
you comparing one small level from cod campaign and other non open world games with whole big zone map. should i explain this isnt right? stalker surely isnt finished and it wasnt ready for release you can blame devs or not but you cant just compare like that
@@tapok665 witcher 3 that came out in 2015, thats allmost 10 yeas ago man, 10! Has a more immersive experience and less things that are cloned, every map, location has its onen unique arrangement to look different like the real world. In stalker 2 all the doors look the same, have rust or ware in the same places, some are even mirrored. Fuseboxes etc all cloned. In a fking 2024 game that took more than 10 years to make.
And the way the NPC act talk look and express themselves in witcher 3 are convincing and real. Staker 2 robotic like in games that are 15 years old!
Why dont npc run like before from grenade. Sad too see
Stalker 2 really doesn't give a shit about your grenades lmao. And animations are way too fast, it doesn't feel like a survival shooter at all
Stalker 2 npcs don't die in emmissions
Wow, the old one looks newer than the 2024 one. 10/10
Everybody mentioned ai system im the only one have problem with autosave? Once I finished sirca i went to plant area, i died by mutant my autosave got corrupted and i couldn't load my save so this game promised and failed to deliver people having good time on PC but on console with its enormous bugs it takes you months to finish the game sad this is the new generation of vid games.
1:53 same stalker gamma animations
but speed up it seems.
7:54 im pretty sure they just ripped that sound from BF1942
Ea ripped it from another game forgot what it was though
Unfinished "product", broken quests etc. Ppl need to play more than 10h before shouting about game of the year bs.
I've got 50h in and for me it's goty
Vanilla Call of Pripyat does not looks like that, it seems you're using the OpenXray Engine...
unreal engine is so bad man
Few patches, mods, and this will be one hell of a good game.
and now retest with anomaly
Worth buying or wait until sale?
Wait till they fix the game
@imadbrother6826 oki, thanks for reply!
What the other guy said, or just game pass. I forgot to cancel so worked out for me haha. As long as you don’t mind the Xbox PC app
And this shows us that video games haven't evolved much in 15 years. Only graphic cards price did.
Not true at all. It shows us the studio which made these games hasn't. There are a boatload of these videos out there with multiple games getting compared. Many are even worse now, sure but there are quite a few doing things better as well.
Game is nothing special,more like walking simulator with guns ,there are much funier games right now with more action
Its not an action game tho, it's a tactical survival horror shooter. Sometimes you are meant to avoid the action
@@danielwilke7574 How do you avoid the action when the game spawns enemies 15 ft behind you? I have fun with the game but it is unfinished.
Mods have already saved it
Do an Alife comparison
5:18 also in older stalker
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a perfect predecessor in nearly every way except for the AI.
Is it me or does call of pripyat look worse than shadows of chernobyl?
It does
Purpose-built engine (Xray) vs "mass-produced" one (Unreal Engine 5).
I think older games were better in some ways because they were focused on the experience rather than the graphics. Though you can argue even back in 2007, tech was still a highlight of this series (physics, A.I., etc) but not the focus of the experience.
While I like Stalker 2, it does feel like a plug for UE5's Nanite and Lumen kinda how launch day Cyberpunk 2077 was really more about Raytracing than a working game. That came afterwards and they had to work harder than needed to even gain some trust back as a studio.
I'll give a break for GSC because of the circumstances behind the development of S2 but they gave us their word they will fix it. I hope they keep to that promise.
Seems like they are working hard on it. They have already released multiple patches to fix things and a new one is to be expected in the next few days. Their community manager is also active with the community to make sure everything is getting fixed. I have high hopes that it will be playable in a month and in the next few will be completely fixed. For me it already is playable as I'm mostly just exploring and not really doing quests
The game is good I'm 24 hours in but I have to say the AI is the worst I have ever come across in a game. You can't stealth kill and take out a base without being seen. They always lock on to your position even if you try to hide. I really hope it gets sorted soon.
Аномали гамму лучше сравнивай со 2 сталкером
we need stalker 2, not far cry in zone
The npc are dumb and the game is broken
And yet it's still 100x better than most releases this year.
The stealth is bad in the game, enemy's can spot you a distance away even through walls at times and shrubbery. It's basically broken. You can't even vault or climb a ledge. Story and lore is great but gameplay is its weakest point in my opinion. 6/10
Bruh do we have different games? In stalker 2 on my end they get mad if I even get close to them with a gun out or run if a grenade is thrown near them I’ve even had them follow me in town if I had my gun out and ignored them.
13:01 Fake
Try Clear Sky.
The sky changes
Me quedo con el de 2009 por la optimzacion del ultimo es un desastre
I hope they will fix all the performance issues by the end of 2024
Man I feel scammed, and I only paid about 8 USD
I would have gone insane if I had paid 70 bucks for this, nobody gives a crap about graphics bro, we want to play a game that runs at 30 fps minimum. Can't have shit
My fav is the memory leaks that result in guaranteed hitches after I’ve travelled about 8 Kilometers or loaded more than 3 saves. Having to restart every 30-60 minutes pisses me tf off. 12GB of VRam and 32GB of system memory and still full almost instantly.
CS 1.6 like this video 😅
Stalker 2 garbage of optimization😅😅
Glad this was recommended, man i just wish they added all the a-life system into stalker 2 AND put some new things in it, that would be really great, liked and suscribed bratan!
Cheeki Breeki my friend
A-life is in the game. A modder confirmed it. Its just that it's broken due to bugs. The Devs are working on it though
@danielwilke7574 that's great to read! Thanks bro
@@danielwilke7574 I have been told by others that modders also confirm A-Life not in the game from digging around.
That is why doing self-research is best in trying to find real answers.
I just go by the Dev's information as that is the most correct answer which in the patch notes they tell you about A-Life being somewhat patched but still not fully working as it is supposed to be.
Your fps💀💀💀
It's lacking a fair bit of the charm of the originals.
First time stalker player. I put 60 hours in. Such a shame that it could have been such a great game if they had focused on the combat and exploration. Ai are absolute trash. Rewards for slogging around are bandages and energy drinks. Please stop releasing games 50% finished…
This game feels more like a tech demo than anything
а где сталкер-2 то?)))
