da provare assolutamente
One of my top recommendation for immersion, right after Cyberpunk. Love it
Solid 7/10 The immersion is as great as it was with all the other stalker games... but just like all the other stalker games this one has a ♥♥♥♥ tone of bugs. Mods have always been the saving grace of stalker games and that trend continues with stalker 2. FPS are low but very playable. Usually 60-80. Sometimes VERY LOW tho. As in 20 or below. My only real issue with this game is the story. It is VERY disconnected sometimes. A lot of the time the motivations of your main char are not made clear and even more often it is not explained why a certain thing is supposed to be done. The game will simply tell you ''go there, do that'' and wont really elaborate on why. Overall I dont really have any strong feelings about this game. It is certainly not as boring or as empty as SoC so that already makes it a decent game in my book. I would say that its pretty fun and worth the price if you can deal with A LOT of jank. From the bugs and FPS problems it feels like combining tarkov from like 4 years ago with fallout 76.
наверное чудо что моё железо вообще потянуло, на минималках то в фпс 120 идет, то в моменте падает до 10 и остается только молиться чтобы всё в норму вернулось
依旧狗粑粑优化,去年买的,当时因为优化问题卡在了那个长得像酒店的那个据点里头,结果这两天心血来潮想玩玩看,试试能否流畅打下去的时候,尼玛这个狗比优化宛如制作者把一坨耙耙抹在了键盘上,拿枪指你脑袋逼着你玩那种感觉,又想玩又被这个卡顿给搞得很烦。最后提醒作者一句,玩家不是M,也不是异食癖,更不是买瓜子的傻子,对自己游戏上上心吧。。。。
Разговор полковника Коршунова и Скифа: -Слушай сюда, Скиф! Идешь ты, значит, по X15. Вдруг видишь - к тебе что-то темное подползает. Твои действия? -Так это... Вас, товарищ полковник, в капсулу отнесу!
Całkiem spoko
Ze wszystkich części jakie grałem, ta jest moją ulubioną. Co prawda, nie jest pozbawiona wad technicznych, lecz gra się w niego najkomfortowiej. Czekam na dodatek jak i update silnika.
Looks great, plays great. Nice atmosphere
афігена гра рекомендую тільки якийсь нн вбив легенд зони а так нормально
