Seeing as it's on Gamepass Ultimate I'll give it a try anyway.
 
Not looking at any reviews, trailer or anything lol - just going to jump in.

I assume the option to download it will appear in steam, at 1600?
Absolutely, this is the way. Go in without the hype, expectation or pre-bias and enjoy it for what it is.

I'm going to be playing through Game Pass, so no hardship if its a bit of a stinker at release.
I'm ignoring reviews and such. Will download when I get home and hopefully I'll get an hour or two play tonight.
However it will be the weekend before I have any significant time to dedicate to it.
 
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.

It's looking as though this day zero/one patch, plus probably a hotfix shortly to be released for critical/important issues is more like the build that reviewers should have ideally been testing. From there, it's probably another large update away from being considered acceptable/good to I'd guess most people outside of fans of Stalker. All in, that's probably at minimum a month away.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd rather the game be delayed.

You may not be in the minority, especially just before Christmas month when money is tight for a lot of people. I guess the thing with bugs etc is that its a very personal thing and varies from one player to another as to what their tolerance level for bugs is. If a game is fun to play then I have a higher tolerance for its bugs (example being something like Space Marine 2) than if a game isnt fun to play (example being something like Gollum)
 
All the people preordering don't help with the state of game releases. Just saying... :p
I think I said earlier in this thread that I normally only pre-order fromsoft games cos I know they will deliver, but I preordered this because 1:cheap lol and 2:I’m expecting a buggy mess on release having played all the previous stalker games

In fact I will be upset if it isn’t a buggy mess on release. It wouldn’t feel like a stalker game otherwise.
