STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl – Official PS5 Announcement Trailer

This is why the updates have been so slow. They've been working on the ps5 port instead of actually fixing the game and adding the content that should have been there from day 1.
 
8 months after the Xbox launch, coincidence ?

Oh No Fire GIF
 
Yeah, it's a long ways off. Filled with bugs, horrible performance. A-life still not complete, AI not spawning past 100meters. Thus no use for long range rifles. No bino's, no NV.

It'll take about another 12 months for them to complete the game.
Well I pretty much have to play it now before it leaves GP in November, so I'm done waiting on it. I'll give it a shot.
 
We're still at least 1 year away from a solid complete experience that has a working AI system like the older games.

They should have just released in early access, it would have gone far better. A-life is still completely fucked.
 
To those wondering if that game is made for you or not, If you like FPS with interesting plot in a immersive/post apocalypse/open world game with a moody atmosphere and urban exploration with uchrony lore, this is the game for you.

Now add a lot of junk and bugs to the already buggy Metro series and call them anomalies and you got Stalker.

If it's click with you, like it did for me, you're gonna love it. But please don't miss out on the original trilogy that's also on consoles now, it's way better to revisit the locations in Stalker 2 if you've experienced the earlier games prior.

I'll double dip on Pro.

Despite it not living up to the trilogy and having some serious issues at launch (I had to dev tool my way through the last 1/3 of the story because quests wouldn't start/complete) I still put in over 100 hours on Steam.

I'm hoping the DualSense features include gyro like the original trilogy on PS5.
 
Heard it runs like ass even on current mid-range PCs. Which makes me wonder how much of a clusterfuck it was on Series S, but that's besides the point.
 
Pre ordered the game on pc months before release. Game comes out, and i didn't boot it up once, something i have literally never done with any other game. I want the full experience, so if it's still in a messed up state, it's better to just wait.

The game is great, patches have generally fixed the biggest issues. The first game was and is also a jankfest on top of having very dated game feel. I still love them all but jeez, I don't get the negativity. We almost never get games like this anymore.
 
Great game, enjoyed my time with it a lot. Haven't booted in months so no idea how much they improved the Performance mode but I ended up playing it in Quality cause it was more consistent.

true men games

fuck da haters
 
So another year after ps5 release and it may be playable.

I played on pc gamepass and it has moments of a good game but in that state it was more of "but can it run crysis" kind of check for me.

The game is always running like shit and the updates make CoD file size seem tame.

It's not even the cute version of euro jank currently. It's just jank.

You can blame Microsoft for that then given they were the ones who pursued launch exclusivity 🤦‍♂️
 
I heard this game is a mess and lots of features are still missing.
Game play is alright now, image quality though is well a smear due to UE5 and all the foliage in the game on series x.

Performance is just cut back that little to much where it looks horrible moving & quality is sluggish and makes you feel sick.

It's a damn shame as I waiting years for this game and it's a mess on screen.

Really wish they did t use UE5 and stuck with 4 or something else that doesn't run like ass on current console hardware.
