Stalker 2

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.
 
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 :p
 
^ 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
 
It's "fine" - worth the £23 i paid for it. Couldn't really care less about RT :D

Not had any crashes unless I added certain mods, few QoL tweaks wouldn't go amiss and seem easy to implement so not sure why they haven't (stamina, weight, gun degredation for example)

Storyline is meh, I'm not really sure why I'm currently doing what I'm doing but exploring is fun.

Visuals are good, 1440p high/epic with FSR3.1 quality as I can't seem to get it to acknowledge FSR 4/4.1

You say you don’t care about RT, is that because you have no choice in the matter?
It’s just that I’ve seen this sentiment before and then when people get a capable gpu, suddenly it’s the best thing ever.
Isn’t that right @CaptainRAVE /flipflop

Yes the Visuals are good but good eye candy will not make a good game. Same problem with a lot of games over the last few years. Probably Gpu manufactures pushing their hardware up developers backsides with some free development money. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I just find it underwhelming for the performance hit it usually brings.

Game dependent I think. I find going from one with good RT to one without makes it seem like going back generations.
In a game like this it could make a massive difference so I’d prefer to wait for the proper version too.
