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

[Xenich]

I can sort of guess what the issues are, looking at the bugs. Same as 2077.

1. Memory gets full randomly and it will randomly not update tracking state temp data, like you can't save if your hd is just full. In this case, it tries, fails, and resets it. Bing spawn over and over...

2. The devs don't see these bugs before release for a simple reason. They are using basically servers and workstations to make stuff. You have more cores. But.....know what else you have more of? Compared to the players...

Memory.

So they don't notice memory issues until game is out.

GOLDEN RULE: Every dev has a power pc and a **** pc, but nothing in between. They can't test on their **** machine, because too ****. Their good machine is too good. Makes certain bugs invisible to devs.

Test: If this is worse on consoles, probably this...

Example: I use 32 cores for a while now, but almost no player still has that kind of system, years later, even if GPU was upgraded.

Wouldn't a QA department protect from this?

The first game whose developers fundamentally abandoned the quality control department was Skyrim. Saving hundreds of thousands of money. If Bugthesda can afford it, why can't we afford it?

Every Bethesda game was buggy as **** at launch.
I remember problems in Arena, and every game thereafter.
Daggerfall was especially buggy.

Skyrim is one of the shittiest games ever made.

Moar like the Fart of Playmobil.

Is this game certified gay yet? Haven't read a single review.

It's not gay, it's just jank.

They have already started to fix it.

the ai is trash, gunplay is trash, its like bad jew cry game from ubisoft.
no vehicles and graphics is typical unreal trash, like vaseline smeared on screen plus horrible performance for the fidelity

modded stalker superior, maybe if they/modders fix ai in future mods can make something out if it, probably not
rly bad design overall it seems, even console players complain.

Any of you guys that've played more of the game, any new thoughts?

I was hoping it was just bad because of the glitches, but this is unfortunate to hear. I'm hoping for a good post-apocalyptic RPG alternative to Fallout 3/4/NV sometime in the near future... anytime now... ... ...

Original trilogy still exists.

[NotAI]

So far...my conclusion is...

I like the game, it's pretty good. Overall. Even with the bugs...

The steam score going up

I'm watching Lobosjr play the beginning and it just doesn't seem very good. I think I'm going to wait a year or so. By then there will be huge mods and fixes available and I'll be able to play Stalker the way I think it should be played.

The bullet-sponge aspect of this is *********.

Holy **** the AI is atrocious. I didn't expect much, but **** they are blind, deaf and ********.

[Tinky Winky]

Holy **** the AI is atrocious. I didn't expect much, but **** they are blind, deaf and ********.

AFAIK this **** is still an unfinished broken mess based on how frequent the updates are, it probably won't be playable until halfway into the next year. Still haven't tried it myself though since I'm not going to pirate 150GB of open world slop even for free.

150gb every day basically. Had to download a 100gb "patch" yesterday.

I'll be sending my seconds to your hovel to formerly issue my challenge, say your prayers and get your affairs in order.

[Roderick]

Should I get the STALKER series on GOG or Steam?

[wndrbr]

GSC announced that they plan to update the original three STALKER games by patching-in the console version improvements. There's a high chance that the new versions are going to be worse than the old ones, and that the old versions are gonna get delisted.

GOG makes it easier to back your games up cuz it provides tidy innosetup installers. But it is also easy to just pirate GOG games.
