S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

i absolutely love this game even though i only was able to play it on my steam deck with like 26-30 fps but it was playable and i enjoyed it

게임 자체는 취향에 맞아서 재미있게 하고는 있으나 사양에 맞지 않게 프레임 드랍이 심하고 성능 부하가 좀 걸립니다.

Love this game. Huge, fully explorable world with a ton of unique locations full of loot. Lots of customizable guns with each having its own feel and personality. The story is interesting, and the characters have a lot of life to them. Graphics look good, and the environment is creepy and feels alive. My only complaint is the game runs a little dumpy, but not bad enough to ruin my immersion. Definitely recommend this game!

Basically, after 20 hours, this is the Stalker I remember and love, but with more mutants. This is the most gorgeous game I ever have played. Even better than Witcher 3, which is saying a lot. Also, from everything I read, this game is allegedly brutal on computer specs, however I upgraded an old computer from 2019 and the game is running on mostly Epic / High settings (Shadows and Shading down to Medium) at 30-60 FPS raw, and 50-100 DLSS on 1080p, generally free of microstutters, and with smooth gun play for the most part. I mean it's not always perfect, nor competitive 144 FPS on 4k a monitor, but if you are just a single player and want a great "relatively" smooth experience, that looks totally gorgeous, then I haven't had too many issues at all. Most of the time it works amazing, and occasionally if it hiccups I usually just figure out the setting irritating it and set it down a notch and pick up another 5-10FPS. Once in a blue moon something really chokes it (like every few hours) and I save and restart it's all sorted out. Beats buying a new $2500 computer. Anyway, If you are curious, I started with an HP Desktop Omen 875-0034 (again year 2019), originally with an I7-9700 (3.0Ghz allegedly with turbo boost up to 4.2 Ghz), 16GB DDR4-2666 Mhz, a GTX Ti 1660 (6GB), and a 500W PSU. I replaced the Graphics Card with a PNY NVIDIA RTX 5060 8GB Overclocked (the last one my local Best Buy had for just under $400). Also, since there was no way this was going to fit on the internal 250GB SSD (already hopelessly clogged), i bought external SSD Drive (Samsung T9, deep discount from Best Buy for about $210). To me the biggest surprise was that you could run a modern video game off an EXTERNAL SSD. I have it plugged into the USB-C port (which mine is old, so it's 10GB/s, but the external drive is forward compatible and supports 20GB/s if I use it with a new machine later). As I said the game is running smoothy. I haven't checked the temperature yet, but as far as I can tell, everything is great, and contrary to recommended specs on the 5060, the PSU wattage was not an issue (supposedly you need 550W and the BB tech told me a whopping 750w). However, deep research with AI went through possible wattage constraints even with simultaneous CPU / GPU spikes and I should have 100w to spare even with age degradation. I mention this just to inspire you to do your own research if you are on a budget, it actually is possible to do this, I didn't know any of this until I researched it with AI, but just stick with it, and cross examine it several times. Anyway, this was my father's computer before he passed away, a Gamer, at Age 89, so I think he would love this game since he was a fan of Fallout 76, and it's a way for me to keep playing with him. If you have an old computer, don't be afraid to upgrade. Obviously, it's not perfect bc of older CPU architecture and various bus speeds, but it is working great for me. If it works for Stalker 2, it will work going forward on any game, and the External SSD is new generation so very forward compatible.

tres bon jeu avec une tres bonne dureé de vie

So far it does not live up to the old games but i feel like the mods will make up for it.

I like it, its not OG stalker but its a way to get more people into the game. Much more forgiving than the OG. Both are great games but with different playstyles. Weapon damage and AI still need touched up. We will see in 2.0 how it is. :)
