I'm about 20hrs into the game and had no problems at all, so I'll be taking a chance and grabbing the expansion as soon as it's released.

I bet the unreal engine updates is not part of this DLC.....

Been wanting to get into this. But every time I get in here the sentiment seems to be HOLD for an update. RT coming soon

NO hardware RT no dice, this is how it is!

^ Agreed. I tried a bunch of ini tweaks/ mods to try improve stuff but I've shelved it for now as I love Stalker games and want to experience this one at its best.

I was thinking about starting this recently but it gets very mediocre reviews.

73 on Metacritic which is quite average.

Do you think this is review scores and not what the game would get now if it launched in current state?

I played it on launch. 20+ hours. It is not as good as it should have been or I was expecting.

That is partly also why I am waiting. I got side tracked with another game and never went back. Then these guys kept talking about RT so I thought ok, I'll wait.

Been like over a year, still waiting...

game engine was crap imo... I have the ultimate edition and apparently played 25hours but I know I didn't get all that far.

game world meh, story meh, engine meh. its all very average imo which is basically what a 7/10 means in reviews these days it's the old 5 or 6
