Damn, well at least it was £27 - And hopefully a patch is due SHARP.

All I'm getting from these comments is that yes, it is in fact a STALKER game.

Do you remember playing SoC without the fan patches?

Yup, I'm watching Cohh play it at the moment and it looks exactly like what I expected (and wanted) from a Stalker 2 so far.

I played Cyberpunk on release and found it fun, the bugs didn't bother me
Horizon Zero Dawn was supposed to be bug riddled but I didn't notice any major ones and found it great

I'll take the reviews with a grain of salt and make up my own mind on this one

Shame I'm going out soon and won't be home until later, hopefully I'll still have time to play it tonight

sounds like it's hard and unforgiving, having to wait out bad storms, dying to anomalies if you go charging around the map etc.

I bet a lot of the bad reviews are because they don't like these types of games

Average OCUK user review:

Played it for 1m20s and loving it so far

watching that skill up video i get 90s era game vibes from the interior environments/textures/models etc

It seems rather inconsistent with its visuals, which many expected tbf

lol, that sort of thing reminds me of IGN who had a reviewer review a Total War game, cant remember which one it was) who confessed in the review that he really disliked turn based games...not a surprise when he then gave it a bad review. Made you wonder why on earth you would give that person a turn based game to review in the first place

Yes, but many bugs maybe patched already. We'll see

That's enough for reviews skimming, time to see it for myself at 4PM. I did play half of Cyberpunk after launch...

The cyber half or the punk half?

Bugs and performance issues were to be expected I would think from anybody who played the other games back at release. Unfortunate that it seems to be so rife as it sounds like they have nailed the whole look and feel of it being a Stalker game.

I'll see how it is later on and share how the 2080ti gets on.

He played it for 2077 minutes.

It's so common place now to expect a mess on release it's almost got to the point of being accepted. Should be really good, in six months.

mrk · Wednesday at 14:47

Saving grace is that skillup's review was of an early build of the game, thie below review states he got his review copy days before release and the game was abeing actively patched:

Think I'll hold off for a month or two before I pick this up, more time to play with the PS5 Pro on the big screen.

Not sure its that its accepted, I think its probably more that peoples definition of a "mess" varies. A game has to be in a pretty bad way for me to call it a mess.

All the people preordering don't help with the state of game releases. Just saying...
