You can't create your own save files, meaning if it gets corrupted the whole save is broken. The NPC's feel completely monotone, making the story just bland and boring. I've played early access indie games with less bugs and a better story. Also there is NO PLAYER PROGRESSION, at all. You spend most of your time doing the same fetch or kill quests, which are stretched across the map from where the quest givers are so you get to enjoy a walking simulator. Keep in mind these quest serve no real purpose which is what killed it for me. I could speed run the main quests vs. someone who tries to 100% complete all the content and end up with the same exact character/stuff. Well you actually cant speed run this game without something corrupting your save file. My 29 hours are spread across 3 different playthroughs all of which ended between the 7-12 hour mark due to corrupted save files. One of the playthroughs was recent so all the same bugs I encountered at launch are still present. !!!!! DO NOT BUY !!!!!
Слава Україні!
2 years and you still need a mod config to turn off or replace lumen global illumination for any semblance of a substantial performance increase. at least modders know how to optimize your game.
Really enjoy the game, but i can't recommend the game since it freezes and crashes none stop. too bad because it is really fun otherwise!
I loved the game, story was decent but the gunplay felt amazing. The AI and the performance really hurt the game. It was hard to finish the game when my frames kept dropping the in the final parts of the game. Going into big Towns always dropped, no matter what performance mod I do, no matter how low the graphics are, it will always drop dramatically where I have to pause for a minute for the frames to get back. At least in the open areas the game never dropped and looked amazing. Exploring was fun but it was a chore to finish. I was glad I finished it so I can uninstall the 150+ GB. For how big the game size is and how unoptimized the game is, it's a gamble to play. If you love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Games and really want to try it once, wait for it to be on sale and give it a go for only one playthrough, it's worth the experience, I would try to go for two but I don't want to go through the headache again, I'm pretty sure I spent 5 hours trying to configure the settings to make the game run good consistently, just no answer in the big areas with the many NPCs. Maybe the 6 GB VRAM is one of the problems, but I never had a game struggle on mostly low settings with 1920x1080 resolution. Hopefully, maybe one day the game gets truly optimized, but it's wishful thinking. 6/10
Nebylo v plánu tuhle hru vůbec hrát a už vůbec ne dávat peníze Ukčkám, ale nakonec musím uznat, že se celkem povedla. Nevím, jak to běželo před patchem, ale aktuálně to jede jak po másle. AI je občas úplně mimo, někdy vás nevidí ani když stojíte metr před ní, a jindy vás zázračně detekuje v husté mlze na desítky metrů. Několikrát se mi také stalo, že se v příběhových misích nepřátelé spawnuji přímo za zády. Čím víc jsem postupoval v příběhu, tím víc mi hra začala připadat zdlouhavá. Naštěstí to trochu zachránil Pripyat a od té chvíle už netrvalo dlouho ji dohrát. Zabralo mi to 45 hodin, přičemž jsem udělal jen asi dvě vedlejší mise. Není to špatná hra, ale zároveň ani tak dobrá, aby po dvou letech stála ve slevě pořád 40 €. Holt ukrajinská chamtivost.
The atmosphere is just insane sometimes you just stop and look at the creepy skies or the rain, and it feels so real. Combat is brutal, resources are always tight, It’s definitely not an easy game, but that’s exactly why it’s so good. Every time I log in, something unexpected happens. The game just nails the survival aspect perfectly. The Zone feels so dangerous and unpredictable one minute you’re just enjoying the gloomy scenery, and the next you’re running for your life from a bloodsucker because you ran out of ammo. It has its quirky moments, sure, but it only adds to the charm. Seriously, it's easily one of the best shooters I’ve played.
Fisrt time playing stalker, never played the previous games. I'm enjoing it a lot, has a gritty vibe to it, from what i've been noticing there is a lot to do and you can choose where to go. I heard that it had a lot of bugs in the beggining, till now haven't really had any issue, probably it has been patched. My take is this, from an old gamer perspective, it is a good game, and , nowadays it's hard to find a good game, looking at the current gaming industry this one stands out.
Too much political nonsense inside the game. Developers cannot help but put their nationalistic social agenda everywhere in the game (like as if we are supposed to care about Ukraine and their domestic problems). Like, they even removed the authentic original Russian Audio from OLD Stalker games. That's a really disgusting move from the developers. I smell discrimination by nationality against Russians. And also, the game actually has a REALLY BAD optimization.
Игра безумно затянута, первая треть довольно бодрая, вторая треть игры - бесконечные путешествия из одного конца карты в другой, которые сопровождаются по-ублюдски забаланшенной системой с выносливостью и перегрузом, деревьями которые меняют лод в 20 метрах от тебя, на похер сделанным через люмен светом; ну а последняя треть - бесконечные перестрелки в одно жало против целой армии балбесов, и играется все это как всратый польский шутер начала 2000-х, когда заходишь в комнату, из воздуха спавнится куча врагов, сверху тебя поливают из гаус пушек, снизу толпа бронированных клоунов, которые не отваливаются от выстрела в голову из свд, и укрыться негде, а в голове только одна мысль - когда уже это закончится. Атмосферы первых игр нет, даже звук крутящейся лампочки из подземелья под агропромом не завезли, зато завезли всратый эмбиент во время боев, и какието эпичные запилы во время катсцен. Стрелять приятно, и на этом плюсы заканчиваются, потому что даже тут насрать умудрились - не дай бог ты спринтанешь на пол секунды раньше чем закончится анимация перезарядки. Потраченного времени жаль. P.S. босс файты - невыносимое говнище
