On performance: The 3080 in my real computer gets consistently above 100fps everywhere, and 120 outdoors, after the recent patch and updating my drivers. I have everything but motion blur cranked to the max. My laptop's 3060 gets 50+fps everywhere and 70+ outdoors. I think that massive stuttering problem that everyone was calling a memory a leak was just a driver/patch issue. At least that's what fixed it for me. It got really bad during the cutscene between Faust and Strider, ruined that whole otherwise awesome scene. So I went and tried and succeeded at fixing the issue. There are definite nostalgia goggles in some places, I'd keep running to new areas and squeeing 'I member that!'; but I've read from people who're playing this game first it still seems to be a very cool world for them. The enemy spawning issues are real. They couldn't get 'A-Life' working in time so they slapped in this shoddy 'spawn enemies when player is near' system that everybody hates but makes the game playable. Otherwise there'd be no enemies outside of hard scripted encounters. Hopefully they get that working soon. A lot of the environment you and the enemies are supposed to be able to shoot through. A bit of plaster or a quarter inch of sheet metal isn't going to stop a 7.62 round. There's even an achievement for it. But yeah, I've had enemies shooting me through several feet of dirt or concrete and stuff too. They're also too accurate on higher difficulties and too stupid on easy difficulty. Plus on all difficulties they seem to notice you instantly, or not at all. I've crept into rooms and headshot 9+ guys while they all stared at the wall in front of them, then other times I'll try the same thing and they're shooting me before I even round the corner. It's very obviously fake/cheating AI. The AI needs to cheat (for now), but it doesn't have to be that obviouis. They should just rip the AI from FEAR, that was great and still better than most of the AIs I've seen around. Also the callouts are laughably bad. "I'm hiding here!" and the grenade spam. It wasn't so bad till they start using the F1s on later areas. I've had like 3 crashes in 60+ hours. 1 soft-lock where I had to kill the process. All of them were when alt-tabbing. The saving is weird. Most of the time it's great, several rotating quicksaves and autosaves plus unlimited manual saves and they're usually timed great so you don't lose too much progress. But occasionally I'd get in a spot where it wouldn't let me save, probably due to an enemy hunting me, and a few times I did lose 10+ minutes progress when I thought it should've saved. Twice, near the end of the game, you'll get into some really unfair shooting sections where you can't save for the whole thing. Took me 2 hours to finally beat that, kept getting one-shotted by the dudes with railguns. Are you on an SSD? What CPU do you have? How much RAM? For having a 3070 you do seem to be having a lot of issues. I've got a Ryzen 7 and an I7 respectively. 64gbin my rig and 16GB in my laptop. It takes maybe 30 seconds for the shader compile for my real computer. Still only a minute or so for my laptop. There's a mod to disable that if it really bugs you, just be sure to disable it at least once every patch or PC update. Oh, technically it's on an M.2, but they're not that much faster than standard ssds. The texture 'z fighting' and money issues were mostly fixed. Also the money issue is moddable. Ammo wasn't a problem for me outside of very early and very late-game; BUT I added one mod to lower consumable's weight and one to slightly increase the backpack weight limit. Plus I go around looting everything, like grid searching the zone. Haven't beat veilguard yet, but given how stalker grabbed me and didn't let go all weekend while veilguard did not, I can be reasonably sure this is my goty. Could just be a poor start on veilguard, but I've heard (from non-wokebsnoise sources) that it's pretty preachy and tutorial like all the way through.

the game is great but it has glaring performance issues mainly due to devs crunching to release the game on time so they relied on check mark developing as mean as that sounds to make the game look good and get it to market faster. Glad they could do that, just wish that meant taking note of areas to optimize it. bc theres no way in hell stalker 2 should be running worse than games like battlfield 5/1 with how static the world is. Stalker 2 needs more time to cook at the hands of modders/devs to try to tweak the issues unreal engine has. and most of the issues are bc of Unreal.

So is this about stalker 2 or you my friend cmon man

What pisses me off is the lotto grinding “ for God rolls It is such a freaking joke and they weigh the shit out of them down. it really got me turned off .

Name of mod for first video part?

game of the year for me too

Atmosphere, missions, story, gunplay, graphics, sound, exploration are all amazing! Feels very faithful to the previous games as well, while adding some great bits from mods like Anomaly. Yes there are bugs and performance issues. But the game is still a work of art. For someone who loves the previous Stalkers and the mods, Metro series and Shooter open world games, Stalker 2 is a truly unique experience.

Game of the Trash, bugs, glitched, mess festival. 6 Days 28h in game looking Werid Water and nothing.... Game of the Year you got intro your stupid brain...Grow up

You'd probably love cock and ball torture too, Jesus this game looks bad.

Idk game sucks

Please don’t promote russn crap called tarkov

you only need to compile shaders once (when you boot up the game the first time). and you can then use the mod to skip shader compiling HOWEVER, if you patched the game or updated your gfx drivers, you need to remove the mod (its just a pak file) so the game will recompile the shaders or your game will glitch and crash. then reinstall the mod.

Great video! I can’t wait to play the game once the crashes that cause lost progress and stuff get fixed, the attention to detail and the world looks fucking incredible. still a miracle the game even got finished given what the studio/employees went through

Its trash, runs like garbage, so easy compared to the originals.

Had the exact same reaction to the mind fucker in the basement ! I came from dayz myself so i have a higher tolerance for bugs and jank compared to most gamers for my 1st stalker game been having a blast ! 💪🖤

Man do I know how this feel, I quit destiny 2 for a while there, only just coming back to play the last expansion, finished it and probably won’t play for a super long time irregardless

The game will never be |legacy| ever again. Ever since Bungie sold their soul to the devil SONY, it's gone EVEN MORE downhill. But hey, its always nice to play with friends, cut up with, hang out, and laugh. Something Bungie cant take away from us or vault!

I’ll say this forever, I’d rather 3 small expansions a year than any type of seasonal content

Our core playlists have been replaced with arenas. PvP is in shambles and makes grinding weapons pointless. Ive had the same artifice armor for years

Yeah it’s a great game just how much can you grind any game before you burn out really. I used to switch between pve and pvp but now the pvp is close to dead and pve im really just sick of.

As someone who has played on and off for around 2 years, I feel it man the burnout is real. I think what made the game feel so stale and heartless at least to me was when they laid off like 300 employees and split focus to marathon, it makes me sad that they’re pouring more and more to marathon and losing more important resources to destiny, and sure I understand deadlines are a thing but this game needs a sort of bigger wake up call and maybe something similar to what operation health was to siege… that being said even if I stop booting up destiny every day, there will always be that itch to play the game or that little voice saying “hey… u should play destiny..” and it brings me back every time

Started playing with Lightfall and Im already at this point. Shame, the game has so much more potential.

Coming from a D1 vet and D2 beta player you gotta play different games or switch characters every week or else it get stale. The super spamming changes are a great and I’m actually happy to build craft again

Liberty Falls imo is still a lazy map, is it fun sure? But it’s a lazy map that does nothing with its Intro cutscene their should’ve been a better Easter egg that opens the area and perhaps even spreads the dark Aether again it is fun but it feels lazy in a way, Terminus tho wow it’s a great map a Mid A Tier map and a great start to BO6 but wish Liberty Balls had more for its Easter egg and aesthetic a more apocalyptic feel

How about I just try to help out with some recommendations that I believe fill at least some of the hole that Destiny 2 can leave: You have first descendant You have division 2 still making updates You have deep rock galactic You have darktide You have black ops 6 zombies. Basically onslaught but with cool easter eggs and abilities etc... You have remnant 2 And if you're willing to branch out just a little to something that isn't a shooter but might stlil fill the hole, you have games like Path of Exile, Diablo 4, Last Epoch. Path of Exile 2 is even coming out soon.

Totally agree with most points that’s why I have been playing a lot of d1 recently

You're spot on with a lot of things and much like I was unfortunately correct with my suspicions over Episodes barely moving the needle and being a pain with gating too much ,the Frontiers system teased doesn't inspire much hope when we're not only being shortchanged a raid and a dungeon in a year of Destiny, but now the year is piecemealed it can leave a really awkward situation of things feeling lopsided and like a glorified season and QOL updates as top dollar paid content. I know the biggest thing with Destiny in current year is there are still sunk cost diehards(which obv only gets you so far), but if these DLC for Frontiers go for $50 each and we're essentially paying what we'd normally would for a year of Destiny AND there's less stuff, that's just going to be awful. Hell even if it was $40/$80 for year, chances are you're still probably getting hosed somewhere in terms of the valuation of content and just how much is lack. If the raid and dungeon are so so-not good, that's going to be a hefty price tag for something you're not enjoying. Even if it's not ideal and has problems, I could at least avoid a season/episode in Destiny or a dungeon with the current system. Even looking at current Episodes, it's obnoxious running an activity or exotic quest through half a dozen+ times to fully beat it and that one with Encore was awful with the collectibles that got added once you did absolutely everything, cut me a break. To quote an old Datto video(thoughts going into 2021), "Innovation in Destiny cannot just be "more Destiny"" , just adding more of the same in a repackaged way isn't going to cut it and obviously in recent time we've seen it downright fail. The numbers of player count dropping do not lie and there are some legitimate points to not even bother with this game or get much enjoyment. On top of that it's incredibly lazy and lame to hype brand new content with basic QOL features that should've existed in Destiny ages ago. Some sandbox balancing, reworking armor, adding a bunch of modifiers for a chance of more loot rewards isn't innovation nor something that should be tacked on as a big selling point for a DLC quality content. **TLDR** There's only so many times you can play through a game you felt like you beat a 100 times over, and I think for a lot of people still playing, Destiny is a game that a lot of people are just simply tolerating at best and that's not great.

not only do they reskin already existing content, but then they package it behind a premium season pass even though onsloaught as a mode and its maps were all part of a free update. bungie is just too greedy for how little they offer

Bungie needed to create another sequel to keep Destiny going and that didnt happen. A game set in another time in the distant future with some familiar faces would have been an answer to a "reset". I stuck it out through the first episode to see what Bungie could still muster up for this dying franchise. Its safe to say this game is a far cry from the first Destiny. The narrative team has stuck the last knife in this game but it has indeed been dying for years. The Destiny magic is long gone and Bungie clearly doesnt have what it takes to do this game justice anymore. On the brightside, the game still looks good (not beautiful like D1) and the gunplay is still amazing and that is what carried me through this far. The music fell off, the narrative is bad, the worlds dont capture my imagination like D1 and space magic is waay overdone. I finally put the game away after growing tired of waiting to see if some resemblance of the game I fell in love with was still there. I saw glimpses of it which kept me hoping for more. In the end, it just couldnt bring me back. Bungie became content with making Destiny an average game and Im the last one in my group of friends to give it up. I just ordered another copy of D1 and plan on running the entire game again on a new character. I havent played it since D2 released and Im so excited to relive it one more time.

I agree with a lot of what youre saying. And i say this as an 11-year player as well. If Bungie only appeals to the hardcore high skill player the game will die completely. Casuals are the core of the playerbase of most games . Destiny is never gonna survive on an Elden Ring type pf following. And from a business standpoint you have to appeal to their interests. if master Raids and Dungeons, GMs as well as Trials and comp and all the high sklil content are not enough for ya then you obviously are just way to talented to be playing this type of game and you should move on and challenge yourself in other venues. However, the elitist attitudes of stop appealing to causals, if implemented will completely destroy whats left of an already withering away franchise.

They aren’t building on existing content. Seasonal stuff and fomo is so trash

the reason why i loved destiny was when i started it, *everything still was in the game besides the paid expansions*. but nowdays? nowdays f2ps dont have anything besides xur, pvp, gambit and NOT EVEN ALL STRIKES??? if the nightfall goes into a dlc strike? well fuck you! you will skip that weeks reward, it's dog shit. besides for me being f2p for well over 1200 hours (yes am not joking) before getting witch queen as my very first dlc and then after that midway throught the year all of the rest made me realize one thing. paid content is motherfucking p2w, "but its pve" my dude half the cool looking models are paid, i still cant believe how bungie overly designed the shadowkeep models to sound that good and look that unique to be dogshit in nowdays sandbox, they refuse to update older content or give it a slight bump (most older weapons do NOT have intrinsic traits not even retroactively). "but just pay its not that pricey the game goes in discount a lot" not everyone is privileged enough to do so, i wasnt and i still kept playing but my sole reason to grind as a f2p was the bright dust to get new skins not even joking. and when i tried to FIND alternatives for older weapons i had which i loved playing with, just to see the equivalent was FUCKING PAID that pissed me off a LOT. because the loot i had was sunset..... so yes they are shitting on the game on purpose, d1 didnt had good story neither d2, but both have good world building via READING, the base d2 campaing is something am still pissed for never playing it because when i saw a whole video of it i nearly damn cried on how good was the pacing of it and the level design went hard, so hard in fact that they are still reusing pieces of it till todays seasons! :D going back to shadowkeep the guns were that sick because was content not developed by bungie it was still made by the activision teams. so yeah fuck bungie, they are hostile towards new players, the game has absurds amounts of paywalls, and what is fun is outdated and doesnt drops anymore and what's good is paid........ oh and to finish it off, bungie started making marathon, matter, and a third game BEFORE QUITTING ACTIVISION, and the destiny team NEVER returned to those 900+ devs the game had with activision, thats why all the content is reused and shit they REFUSES to give this game the manpower it needs to be good ON PURPOSE which is absurd.

Been playing for 10 years and today is the day I finally decided to delete the game after so long so I find it kinda funny this pops on my feed lol. I’ll always love this game but I can see what direction this game is going in and I feel contempt in finally letting go revenant is an all time low for me and really just showed me that there’s nothing left for me to experience I’ve done everything I’ve ever wanted to, have the best guns and the power creep has made the game far too boring for me and the recycled content being at an all time high and cosmetics continuing to get the priority I just can’t take it, I respect the people who still decide to invest in this game but seeing what destiny rising is getting albeit being a mobile game it just makes me want a new destiny title so badly but even then that’s just a fantasy as if bungie could even properly launch a new game and it would probably still have the same issues. I’m fine with leaving things off with the final shape being the last expansion I experienced, I don’t have any investment towards the characters or story anymore and it just feels complete to me no reason to continue these new episodes stories just exist to keep milking the same plot lines and while frontiers seems interesting it’s still just gonna be “more destiny”. Also hot take, prismatic ruined this game.

Yes, the fighting feels repetative because every fight feels like a Lock that you can Open with the SAME OLD KEY known as "Prism Titan Consecration Slam"

Gullible bungie simp

Harder? Not without a player shieldgate

Season missions are formulaic. Its laughably senile game design

what is your monitor resolution good sir?

My personal problem with Destiny is that it lacks the element of mystery that was present throughout other expansions up to and including the Witch Queen. That, and very short Acts. AND ENCORE that you have to repeat so many times which is extremely boring

What D2 needs in my opinion is an optional third person camera that works like MGSV or Hell Divers 2, that new perspective would be amazing.

I don't have much else to add that ShadowReaperX07 hasn't already said. I feel like almost all the problems this game has results from it being "solved" already. Bungie has yet to add any new item, activity, structure to this game that makes the game truly exciting. We already have the loot, abilities, and game-sense that we need to blaze through any future content that gets thrown at us. This is why hearing that there is no Destiny 3 coming is such a nail in the coffin for morale. With the way the game is currently set-up Bungie seem unwilling or incapable of EVOLVING this game beyond what it has been for the past 3-4 years. The incremental changes, while great, water-down the "new, game-changing, evolutionary" feeling that this game desperately needs. The only thing that will change this game is a big splash; a moment in time that evolves the franchise into a truly new experience. Sadly, we wont get that for a long long time it seems. Also, I love the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio of the gameplay but you don't need to insert the black bars at the top and bottom. UA-cam will do that for you if someone is watching the video on a normal 16:9 monitor. By doing it yourself, you're forcing those black bars for people like me that are watching on a 21:9 monitor too. Great video!

Bruh the wude screen make it feels so cinematic, i love it!!

Hpw do you get your screen like that?

You've put a lot of effort into this, it's a sentiment I share, and you're low on views, so I figured I'd comment just to iterate on a few things (some of it will be new, others will be reinforcing what you've said). There is no TL;DR if 'people' don't want to read beyond this, that is fine. 1. Loot Chase is poor. If you're new, of course there's "loot" you've got weapons from Witchqueen, Lightfall & The Final Shape (stretching ~3 1/2 years) of content to acquire Exotics & legendaries from. If you're 'old' the loot is essentially irrelevant, especially because it still hinges on the loot being incredibly small increment improvements to speed up how quickly you acquire loot (and the difficulty of content you can engage with). Episode 1/TFS Expansion - I was only interested in 2 weapons, the healing Auto-Rifle [New] & Solar Rocket Sidearm [No other Solar RS]. Episode 2 - I'm interested in absolutely nothing. Even more so since crafting disappeared. And I expect more of the same for Episode 3. [10:22] My Vault is filled with various energy types of essentially "the same" weapon, just this ones Strawberry [Solar] and the Others Blueberry [Stasis]. For PvP energy types rarely matter beyond cheaper mod efficiency on armor, and it's the stat/perk/archetype packagae that matters. For PvE energy types matter slightly more, but in Hard Content, half of the Energy specific perks (Incandescent / Headstone / Destabilising Rounds etc. etc.) require on-kill effects, you find they just get replaced with a weapon that has Damage perks, as you're otherwise never activating the above perks to any real effect anyway, even if you lean into Double/Triple weapon surges. More often than not, I will build by weapons around what Heavy i'm using for DPS and what primary matches the surge (as specials rarely need the surge damage boosts on targets). It doesn't even cross my mind about "Scorch synergy!" in hard content. It's literally "What kills the enemies the fastest?" and the answer tends to be something that fuels my abilities and/or has the highest damage out-put. So, just as you point out, why am I going to bother? Take VS Pyroelectric Propellant [Vesper's Host Arc Auto-Rifle]. It has 'Jolting Feedback' as a perk, which is a strictly better Voltshot on this archetype (and any high RPM, high magazine capacity archetype). But I have a million alternatives. If I want Jolt, I have at least one Arc Fragment for Grenades. I've got Indebted Kindness with Volt Shot. I've got Delicate Tomb. So why am I not just running something like Sweet Sorrow (Craftable, Stats for All, One for All) for pure 'damage' OR if I have a Prosecutor with Rewind & Voltshot (or literally just Voltshot), why am I going after this? Just because it's a 600 and has Jolting Feedback? I have this gun at home. I'm not wasting 'multiple runs' hunting for this gun when it has maybe a 1 or 2% incremental effective power increase to my guardian over-all. There is no content in the game that would have me thinking: "Damn, If only I had a: 600 RPM ARC AutoRifle With 'Jolting Feedback' as a perk" You'll get maybe ONE of those as a consideration (and it's usually either the Energy type, or the Weapon type, occasionally both). 2. Eververse / Monetization / Armor Sets The monetization for this game has always been predatory, but has gotten much worse. The Expansion(s) The Season Pass(es) The Dungeon Pass(es) The [Optional] Event Pass(es) The [Optional] In-game Shop Luckily, I couldn't care less about how Beautiful or Ugly I look, and I don't care about what other people think in that respect either. This means I, personally, never engage with the In-game Shop with Silver. I can transform Armor in ornaments and i've played enough historically to have Armor sets of various aesthetic quality. For anyone that has lower impulse control, the fact that you rightly point out the better armor is locked behind cash purchases (or a massively elongated wait for a disproportionately earned in-game currency [Brightdust]), it's just an intentionally predatory model. 3. Value for Money Yeah they've slowly been giving everyone less content, whilst charging more money for it. People seem to forget that Witchqueen had 2 Strikes. Lightfall / TFS both only had one. They're potentially going the right way with the shift to 2 'Medium sized' expansions per year, as opposed to "1 Big One". But their seasonal content, bar the occasional exception (The Coil being the most recent) has always been cookie cutter filler of the most minimal effort with awfully stingy rewards. 4. Difficulty. As someone that also has Contest Day1's under their belt. You hit the right notes with 'Difficulty' to some extent. However, what I think gets missed, is viewing it from a business point of view (which does appear to have been caught by Bungie and will be implemented with Apollo), that is, introducing customizable difficulty for ALL(sic) content. Don't get me wrong, Destiny is an easy game. There are also players that make Destiny on 'Normal modes' look difficult. The issue is, in driving up the difficulty continuously so you can appease the hardcore, you will alienate players that find themselves increasingly unable to engage with content they, in years past, may have actually been able to do (even if not perform particularly well). The new Dungeon was received by the dedicated high-end players with high regard. For the average player that just wants the experience [I.e. Do it a handful of times, not farm it], they do not view it with high regard at all. And that's not simply contest mode which is rightfully out of their reach; I don't think anyone wants another Root of Nightmares half-a-million-contest-clears, or at least not so soon. But remember, Dungeons, are paid content that can be separate to expansions. You want EVERYONE to be able to COMPLETE your dungeons. If you can't complete a dungeon, you don't pay for future dungeons. That Dungeon still has OHKO Lightning Strikes (through all Resilience levels, Super Damage Resistance and Stacked Damage Resistance) during DPS phase. I know it's to disincentivize the 'stand-in this safe space' damage phases that has been the corner stone of Destiny DPS since time immemorial. However, being One-hit, in any game, is never a good feeling, and although I don't often get one-hit. If I don't pay attention right at that moment, if I've been distracted in some way, I'm given no opportunity to save myself. It's fine in fire-teams most of the time, but it doesn't make it feel any better. If you've had a long day after work, that once I've solved the Dungeon/Raid (I know how it works); I want to a degree be able to turn my brain off. Wipe Mechanics are fine. One-hit passive attacks on normal difficulty are not (The Telegraphing needs improvement as the visuals are cluttered come DPS, orange on orange, nice). You've got Normal -> Master -> Contest for a reason. Actually use the difficulty levels in a reasonable way, but don't just keep ramping up Normal, and then wonder why the LFG scene for both this Dungeon (and the Raid) are at record low levels, whilst the game itself is ALSO in record low engagement numbers. Again, the fact there is no LFG scene doesn't bother me, I've completed the raid, and I have a team to do the dungeon (should we actually feel like it). But for the players that 'need' to engage with this system, the fact its comparatively empty (and returned to the old external LFG systems) should speak volumes about the fact there is a growing divergence between players that aren't that good, wanting to experience something, and the players that are good enough, wanting to repeatedly farm or complete something quickly. Increasing the difficulty only further divides players. It is far easier to put the harder modes (Master/Grand Master/Contest) as toggle nodes, and increase the rewards to compensate good players (as they will do come Apollo), than it is to just keep increasing the difficulty base-line. 5. General Musings I haven't been in University (or school) for minimum half a decade. I don't expect games to continue to cater to me. But if the only options are: Get Good Get another game. The playerbase that remains can't be surprised when most people are picking option 2. I got good, then I got responsibilities. I'd rather have variety in my life that have to constantly go through Destiny's monotonous checklists of things I've done 99 times, but now I have to do it 100 because otherwise it doesn't count. I know I've done it. I no longer care if anyone else believes me or not. So i'm certainly not doing yet another cycle of GM's for weapons I don't want, just to gild a title that no one cares about, and a number above my head that shows how much time has been wasted, more than any level of skill.

Terminus is the best map we’ve gotten in a long time. As an og I’m definitely excited for the next dlc map as it seems like it’s gonna be a darker vibe just like terminus so I’m all for it!

how tf do you get rolled in the liberty falls ee 😭😭😭😭

Best zombies game cus it has the best zombies character Doctor Modi, my waifu

The thing is the hud is designed is such a way that you need to see health bar like the amalgam boss you need to see how much health he has. But surely one of the best zombies launches we had.

Melee Macchiato, pack a punched Gold Knife and Aether shroud is hugely effective for taking out the Manglers fyi

i mean sure you can completely disengage from the arsenal and roll new weapons from the box, if you happen to have 50,000 points lying around to pack them to tier 3
