Yes, you are right. It was that and some of the fight mechanics and poor early netcode.

This is what I am hoping for, that the game will pick up after a few major fixes down the road. In the beginning, I was very much against the use of the UE5 as the foundation to this game. I knew this would give it a whole new, modern console feel to it. Just before release, my excitement ran high to hear and see all the positive reviews on this from many of you fans here. Instead, it seems to be all the opposite. I now see they really should have went with an upgraded Xray of some sort. I have been a Street Fighter fan all my life. When Street Fighter 5 came out years ago, they used UE4 as the foundation. It had a very poor start and bad reception by many of us fans. Capcom learned their lesson and went with their proprietary REngine which was successful for many other games that they had put out. Street Fighter 6 launch has been very successful and has been their best selling fighting game to date. Its a shame that game designers do not learn from this. I'm sure down the road they will do some major changes to bring this game back into the spotlight. Mods is also another big savior for this and I hope we have full access to all the tools and materials to making this a great game for everyone. Mods also encourage sales too. Friends of mine have purchased certain games just to play their mods.

I still lurk here once in a while from work to see how are current mods doing. I see that there is a new, hefty patch out for Stalker 2, but this game has fallen off the top 100 played game charts on Steam. This is not enticing me to want to upgrade my computer to even purchase and play this game. And it seems to have fallen out of favor to many of you fans here. I'll just stick to playing Path of Exile 2. This is more exciting for me now.

I am sort of happy with what I have for older games that I play. Getting a new computer is basically for just Stalker 2. It will also improve on the current and older games that I play now. I'm still on an I7-6700k cpu and a RTX 3070. So I am still deciding and am not in a hurry. Дополнено 3 минуты спустя I am waiting for benchmarks on the newer RX 9070. Very curious about that one. Still undecided.

I am glad that this thread came up. I have yet to buy this game and am very curious of people opinions on this, now that it has been out for some time. I value you hardcore fans opinions here. However, It seems like this new game is slowly fading from these forums. I'm sort of up in the air about upgrading to a new computer for this, seeing that it appears to be losing peoples interest. I'm worried that I will spend a lot of money and not like it.

Congrats to everyone here and I hope to see a stronger mod filled community and that Staalker 2 gets even bigger and better

I still believe the issue here is the seamless open world size of Stalker 2 that can greatly hinder the way A-life functions and its optimization. The segmented world of the trilogy series manged A-life in a whole different way. I truly hope that one day they will get Stalker 2 A-life equal or better that the older Xray.

sadly, this sounds like a 'Ray of No Hope' =(

Why does this look better than Stalker 2?

Do any of you Stalker fans enjoy fighting games? I play Street Fighter 6 a lot and I love to watch the world tournaments whenever they play on stream. Very addictive to watch competitive offline plays from around the world. The next big event is in Japan in March. I CAN NOT WAIT!

The one requires a $3000 PC to run while the other only needs a $1000 PC.

The SGM series were the most enjoyable on CoP. So much missions and tasks made this a spectacular series for me.

That is a hefty size patch. That is basically the full game I would think. So much for having a full blown older physical copy I wonder if the physical discs would be updated and people gets replacements due to the scale of this patch

I can see this thread is not going to go well....
