I´m an old dude. 63. I´m no gamer. But there`s stalker....I played all the games, the originals and lot of mods. Can`t wait for stalker 2 and right now I´m preparing my pc, upgrading my graphics. Nov20. Let`s roll!
@@1tabularasa1 we need more people like you, love the spirit! I'm a noob to the series but I've been hyped about this game for about 3 years, open world is my kinda thing and this one is big and beautiful looking
Nice video my dude. All I can say is these games quite literally saved me through some very dark times in my life. Most people won't understand, since the games are pretty dark and gloomy. But to me they feel like home. They are more than just games to me. Subscribed !
@@isaacgould5974 im all for slavjank. but characters standing in a tpose waiting for convo and items disappearing midair arent part of that. They have a lot of work to do.
Great video,thank you for the effort. I switched providers at home and got a free Xbox Series S with it,I was stoked with that because I already own a PS5 but Stalker is not on PS. So now I am eagerly waiting for Wednesday and will be playing it chronically since the start!
Thanks for the video. I am enthralled with the STALKER series, but can't play them because i have neck and shoulder issues... Playing with a keyboard and mouse just destroys me... so the addition of controller support is a welcome addition. I've watched a lot if playthroughs, and am just fascinated by the atmosphere and sheer creepiness of the game.
Thanks for the video I know the original games by heart especially SoC but I'm watching recaps to see what other people think about the trilogy before S2 releases
Tbh i just need the modders to change the Gun names to the actual real life counter Parts and it will be perfect. Already Pre-orderer the biggest Version of the game. Remember there is no glitches in Stalker, just anomalies! :)
I’m preparing for stalker 2 by playing the hardest difficulty of my favourite stalker game, and you guys are gonna laugh at me, clear sky, it holds a special place in my memory because it was the first stalker game I played
22:26 Anomaly isnt a modpack tho. Its the final step in the evolution of several overhaul mods of Call of Pripyat. A modpack is GAMMA or EFT for example
Im hoping to get at least 60fps (80 - 90fps with DLSS) max settings @ 4K resolution. I have a 4070ti super and 7800x3d so i dont think it will be a problem, but from what ive seen based off recommended specs and performance reviews, it looks like lumen on unreal engine 5 is really impacting performance, even with a 4090. Seems to be a very CPU limitting game, a lot of people are reporting its locked at 75fps even with the best setup. Also there will be no hardware ray tracing day one, which is surprising to me. Regardless of all of this, stalker 2 is my most anticipated title (next to ghost of tsushima 2) and I will be playing day one.
Now that's more like it! I know your original upload was kind of crap, with lots of mistakes but I see you've corrected course and made the video I presume you wanted to from the start. Good job!
Installed Vanilla Anomaly, GAMMA, EFP, Custom and Hayzee's community mod - all in separate instances, for comparison and analysis . . . Lol, who am I kidding - I'm just trying to cope with the hope. And figured watching a downloading screen would be good training for release day. Good hunting STALKER
Love Stalker and was looking forward to playing 2 over Christmas... Then I saw the sys min spec. Oh dear. Can't get a machine like THAT on my pension! Ah, well: Anomaly again, I guess.
im scared to upgrade my vga from rx580 8g to rtx 4060.. the card is not cheap in my currency... and probably the game will cost also about 70-80 daaaamn but i cant wait to know its a damn good stalker game or its a downgrade from the original.
146 gb download yesterday and today a 16 gb patch on series x. Ridiculous. I hope the game is worth the time. Its a UE5 game!!! I dont think it will run good enough.
@@reedtkfilms7077 I believe it's because open world games use game data streaming, textures, models etc and if they use compressed data then that destroys CPU performance. This is also why NVME SSD's have become not just standard but straight up required. Any game that's using small levels and transitions can skip that but tend to use it to cut down on loading times anyway.. Also no one is investing dev time to remake a more efficient wheel anymore.. I guess you can also blame higher resolutions requiring higher texture sizes..
I hope this new ALife2. 0 sistem will be up to the expectations.... They are acting pretty dumb in all the gameplay scenes till now... I guess we will figure it out in 5 days 🎉
@samosh not wrong there Sam, followed your vids and played a few rounds with you since the Tarkov days. You need more viewership, your vids are always worth watching lad.
@@LAURKAMY that's not now CPU bound games behave. GPU's don't run at 99% on CPU bound games, that's exactly what they don't do. Lol. When GPU's run at 99%, that means you have a GPU bound game.

I just built a brand new computer this week just for this game. Can’t wait
Nice! Good hunting Stalker !
Same here! Was looking to upgrading from just a steam deck but this game was the push for me.
Great video. This will be my first game in the series and I’m super excited. Also scared… hate scare jumps 😂
The launch is going to be really rough. But the community will pull this one through even if they dont.
@@RebelForce8 you mean about glitches? Because all stalkers know that it’s all anomalies, no glitches.
Game all features no bugs

I specifically waited for this stalker version to be my first experience of the franchise, and I think it will be great.
I hope you love it

Way to prepare:2 days 5 sets of pushaps with fingers,2 days 10 sets open-closed fist, 1 rest day and 2 days of stretching and casually playing games
kinda sucks it was dragged into the unreal engine slop thats probably why the optimization looks nightmarish
UE5 is actually quite a treat to work with in comparison to other engines on the market right now
@@samosh im aware its quite nice to work with but from what im seeing the game lacks its gritty look it sort of like dying light 1
Starting with AS VAL because I don't need to start with a bolt action Makarov to know the zone is dangerous and wants to destroy all humans.
Unfortunately there’s no co-op hopefully they change their minds or modders do something about it
Love Stalker and was looking forward to playing 2 over Christmas... Then I saw the sys min spec. Oh dear. Can't get a machine like THAT on my pension!
Ah, well: Anomaly again, I guess.
Sorry to hear that
@@samosh ahhh... Not a problem, really. A fourth Gen i5 plays me a LOT of fantastic old games.
thank you for the video
Glad you enjoyed
I thought clear skies wasn’t really much of a true stalker game. I barely touched it.
damn, it's 5 days more, but I can't wait anymore 😭
You got this
Sidorovitch, a trader😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah yeah😅😅 he buys guns for 1p and sells bread for 20000p😅
The economy in 1 year. Stalker predicted the future
I had three days off, and of course the day I go back to work Stalker 2 comes out. 🤦🏽♂️ I will have little time to play when I get home damn.
Unfortunate timing. I feel for you
I said come in, dont stand there!
im scared to upgrade my vga from rx580 8g to rtx 4060.. the card is not cheap in my currency... and probably the game will cost also about 70-80 daaaamn but i cant wait to know its a damn good stalker game or its a downgrade from the original.
"I dont know language." Able to recite a wide variety of Coded information specific to law and courts.
Idek what this means
TLDR:
Buy 4090, 9800x3d and 64gb ddr5 ram and enjoy 60fps.
Will not save you agains crashes that were in all stalkers
@dufifa I still have nightmares from Clear Sky crashes lol.
lol UE5 is terrbile performance, stutters everywhere and nanite and lumen are heavy
Respectfully, you're nuts. Probably tied to whatever device you're playing on bc UE5 is damn near flawless on my pc rig
Strellok is coming back!
👀
7:31 when does he talk about lore it’s been a damn review of the old games this whole time
Timestamp where I said ill talk about lore instead of a random point in the video???

I3 13100f and 3050 8gb will
Play this well lol
That’s all gonna depend on what resolution you play and what FPS you expect
Will be alright for 1080p
Yeah sir you most likely will be 1080p low/medium settings but you will be fine.
Saying unreal 5 run's well is simply untrue...
a gtx 1060 getting only 30fps on low settings is crazy concidering a good looking game like cyberpunk runs on a damn steamdeck
I hope you can play it in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Do you know if this is possible?
Yeah this has been confirmed you can change it in the settings

Always appreciate the continued support mate
Please please please dont run like a busted bag of spanners on day one.
It will likely be a CPU bound game. So if you have a old or under powered CPU it's probably not going to run well.
Don’t worry you know me, if it is unoptimised ill find a way to get it to run good
@@efabiano82 CPU bound yes... But GPU is going to burn on this one with 99% load... Look at the game size... Huge un optimized textures is my guess
@@LAURKAMY the map is huge and there's a massive amount of content plus 4k textures
