Honestly I can forgive the bugs. Not only was it developed in a literal war zone, but some of the devs were killed in combat in places like Bakhmut. I put 5 hours into this game today and it’s everything I had hoped for and more
113,000 active players on steam on release day (not even a weekend) 78% positive reviews and its actually a really fun game to play. The russian misinformation campaign must be pulling its hair out over this. I'm really glad i pre ordered this game the moment I had the chance while part of my pre order went towards supplying Ukraine with drones.
Watching Charlie figure out how anomalies and shit work was honestly funny as hell. I also noticed one of the tips say something like "Strelok has been spotted in the zone again" or something along those lines. It'd be cool to see him again.
Charlies directional awareness is something else lmao. The amount of times games will clearly tell him what to do or give him clear hints outside of just a normal hud, yet he doesn't follow them and will spend five minutes trying to do something else that is not even possible in game.
Play in Ukrainian with subs. It's much more immersive. Honestly playing stalker with British accents and the odd American is actually disgusting. If that was the only option, The game would be ruined for me. Breaks all immersion. I don't want to enter the zone as some European tourist. Doesn't even make sense anyway
To be fair, it’s becoming a sort of unspoken rule in showbiz that when it comes to Eastern European/Slavic/Russian languages and accents that it’s best to not try and emulate them. Apparently it’s a hard thing to do correctly, or so I’m told, so most productions don’t bother trying. It’s like how HBO’s Chernobyl was produced. All of the actors and actresses just use their normal voices and accents instead of pretending to act out Ukrainian or Russian accents that they simply aren’t good at. Allows the actors/actresses to focus more on the performance instead.

I just hope that most of such comments are written by russian bots. Russia is abusing an infinite money glitch called oil, and they have the most powerful propaganda machine. It's a really easy thing for them to write several comments under any video, even remotely associated with Ukraine. But when it is real human writing such things, like Elon Musk, it makes me really sad.
Russians are extremely toxic and unbearable, online and irl, i envy everyone who doesn't live close to them, at least they cannot kill you and destroy your country
yes, I agree with you, but they can actually be understood too, the situation in the country is terrible and I think it is very nice when they praise something that was created in Ukraine (considering that not many things made in Ukraine are known around the world)
A small tip before you third time going to recharge the artifact there is a big safe in that building where the sniper killing animation happen if u put all your gear in there and start the sequence after waking up you can go back to the safe and retrieve all your gears...
Just asking do you guys think in a Ukrainian game and also the in game world there are English speaking people with American accent isn't immersion breaking..
I've loved the shit out of STALKER for years, but I always kind of wished that they kept the Strugatsky's concept of The Zone being a place where aliens had a Roadside Picnic and left a bunch of eldritch hooplah behind.
But there would be no gameplay, no big evil to conquer as Aliens already left. Invisible things that kill you instantly or after a time. No crazy monsters. It would be a different game entirely. A game that still can be made. But probably an adventure game.
Meh, the eldritch stuff gave the game an identity to stand out from the other two source materials. I kinda prefer that they stuck with that than doing aliens.
I am suprised the developed never paid to Strugastsky or to the owners of Tarkovsky's film since lots of ideas are lifted from those works. Personally, I think they should be sued (as they are nasty people based on reports)
To all the new people that are coming to the STALKER series, it's a survival game you can't fast travel, and you will have to avoid some enemies, it's also sad to see 1 star reviews of bugs, ITS ONLY BEEN A DAY OR TWO Since LAUNCH just give it a month it will be perfect
I am lenient in this case because of the war, but do you always just want to give it a month instead of criticizing the dev for taking your money before finishing the product?
@OokPuddin its nowhere near. I havent seen any bugs as close to as bad as most releases. Ive had 1 crash and thats genuinely all for my playthrough, ive also seen penguinz0s hud turn off until he reloaded.

Дякую за проходження та увагу до України, навіть у такому вигляді. Довга війна лбдям набридає, особливо коли об'єкт геноциду (ми, українці) захищається гарно...
I had absolutely atrocious performance. 1 stick of 16gb RAM and a driver update later, it runs buttery smooth. The biggest difference was the drivers, please update them.
I don’t understand the talk about the bugs ? So far I haven’t ran into any other than small things like bodies will make a funny sound for a few seconds after being touched or the fps is a little low but not even that bad my only complaint really is the anomalies it’s super fuckin annoying and since this is my first time playing and never even watched gameplay before so I don’t understand the invisible monster
@@BFG-rr9cv my brother play for 10 hours today and only come across very minor glitch, or bug like body spazzing. Or some fps drop. But not like "broken game" some people are telling
Idk how to describe it but it's missing STALKER. Like it has all the names and faces, the factions, the mutants, the anomalies and artifacts, but I feel like it's missing something that made all the previous games, and even all the fan made mods, truly STALKER.
@rmngddd I mean, maybe? But I only got into this franchise less than a year ago. It's not like it's a staple childhood game or something I've been waiting years to see a sequel to.
Its missing A-life. Well, its not missing it its just that there is two components: smart terrain and spawning. Smart terrain (i.e. numerical squads being dynamically simulated) works well however spawning is down right broken since the Day 0 patch. This leads to AI being way too prominent and disrupting that vital immersion-gameplay-gunplay balance that the other STALKERS had mostly down. That being said it likely is going to be fixed within a month or two and the rest of the game (minus performance) is great or perfect.
The best game ever. A Masterpiece. I didn't expect it, but they did it again. Any comparisons to other games that copied Stalker are just ridiculous. Dad is back and showed who's boss.
@@TheIdea12 I don't think he's clueless but it is a little weird spending $1600+ on a GPU and then getting a low-mid tier 1080p monitor to go with it lol
I'm downloading this game now and have never played a previous stalker game. I'm expecting thoroughly shat pants or I'll be immeasurably disappointed. Edit* So far my biggest issue is that for whatever reason the devs decided that having a base deadzone setting of 0 was a good fucking idea. There is also no setting to change your deadzone. Not even a small, medium, large option. In my personal opinion, there is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for any game that has come out in the last ten years not to have the bare minimum of controller sensitivity and deadzone adjustment options. I have never seen a controller that didn't have at least some level of stick drift. I've bought controllers brand new out of the box with stick drift. And usually the only real fix is to change your deadzone settings. It's nearly impossible for me to aim with any level of accuracy which in a survival shooter is kind of a big deal. If i can't find a work around i probably will just not play it until this is fixed because it's completely unplayable. Edit 2* if you go into the reviews on Xbox just about every review is complaining about idle sway. So it's not just me having this issue. Again, completely unacceptable for a game in this era not to have adjustable deadzones.
I was blown away checking it out on the Series X with the LG C1 OLED. It looks incredible and plays great! I'm puzzled by the negative talk about the Xbox version.
They must be playing on old gen, they should only allow it on new gen so they stop getting bad reviews about that, sad to see that they incompetent about being able to play on old gen
@@punksnotdead5367 realistically, there'd be STALKERs from all over the world, so I think it's cool, plus getting so many different people to do good slavic accents would be difficult
Developers need to focus on optimizations and not pretty lights and shadows no one cares about fsr is not a substitute for optimization and has ruined gaming.
@@daniboyrulez That "it is expected" is no excuse, never was and never will be. I understand it is lately used because of the amount of games with problems at launch but people are buying a full game, and that implies it should be ready to play with no big problems from the start, this specially since sure we have cases where games do indeed get optimized and then improved, but also plenty of others were there is at most one patch that just fixed bugs and didn't improve in other of the problems of the game. Buying a game just shouldn't be a gamble on if it improves or not and so why this criticism is needed.
@@insanianevi8089 So then don’t buy it lol, they literally said there will be bugs and it will most likely run poorly. If you don’t like it refund it, otherwise wait more until they patch it until it runs smoothly. It’s not rocket science
What do you mean pretty lights and shadows? It looks like a 2008 game, my dude. In fact, look at the first 3 stalker games. They had better dynamic shadows. This is so embarrassing for a 2024 release.
Bruh A-Life is entirely gone. It's the most depressing thing ever to realize that as you play. The game barely reacts to you and just spawns stuff in like right next to you
@@suicidalbubblethecopyninja5984 Well yeah, and I get that. But that's no excuse seeing as A-life 2.0 was something they advertised and boasted about, but it's literally non-existent. I love stalker and support the devs, but that is just blatant lying...
not sure if its correct or not but hear something about the original pistol you get "skifs pistol" can be repaired for next to nothing, which makes it the better alternative. also cant be dropped anyway so clears up space for a weapon so you might as well carry the ammo for it. can use the extra space for a better secondary during big fights or just more stuff for your primary.
The dude spent he first hour of the game throwing bolts at NPCs, and when he designs characters in games like Dark Souls he spends like ~10mins creating the fugliest one he can. It was funny the first 5 times or so, but now watching him do stupid shit all the time is getting old. I wonder when the last time he truly immersed himself in a video game was...
Tue best way to describe STALKER 2 at launch is "Fallout: New Vegas without mods" It's an amazing game that needs a bit more time before it can be stable, ehich is fine in my book.
Also why did the Ukraine government shell and kill tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian passport holders, their only crime was speaking the Russian language. Thats some fascist nazi behaviour right there only allowing 1 language to be spoken or you start killing civilians. You started this war in 2014 for your masters = the suits in Washington and London.. you all got played big time. Your allies US/UK also murder over a million civilians in Afghan /Iraq you are all warmongers it's pathetic.
"The knife is not good" Bro, i cleared half that base with just stealth knife assassinations before resorting to shooting. Its for breaking containers and stealth kills. Also, by breaking containers with your gun, you are degrading your weapon condition
The game is really good so far some frame drops but other than that no bugs but devs are doing some hotfixes soon and later some bigger patches, I'm looking forward to what this game might become in the future especially with the mods.
1:44:16 ok, was pretty sure a bug was here with the gate and the dogs, that many of them id assume a pathfinding issue was there because so many dogs and so little actually hit especially when across the gate in his retreat. but the more i look at it the more it looks like the original games ai which was called a-life. supposed to simulate a living world and such with smarty pants ai. and this actually does kinda remind me of that. some animals when encountered and your not sneaking would retreat if you aim your weapon at them while they are charging. and if pack animals will try and gang up from angels. pretty sure that is happening here which is pretty cool. sure games like metro or something might still do that now but back in the day this was pretty cool and original. 2007 was it's release date, fallout 3 which id consider it's closest in terms of ai or what you could make it do through mods (MMM or marts mutant mod) was a year later. keep in mind back then all you had was the big online surge. games where you face off against even three ai factions wasn't really a thing let alone what these games attempted to do. there wasn't much being done at the time for ai and id say still isn't. games like this make me want to come back. the multiplayer crud you see these days makes me want to go to work tomorrow.
People need to understand that pre-release bugtesting tells the devs very little compared to what the hundreds of thousands of players discover once the game is actually released. Also, what's so bad about the English dub? A lot of people don't want to spend half of the game reading subs (especially after coming home from 8 hours of working), and the zone would have people from all around the world anyway, so it doesn't even break the immersion that much.
@@eineatombombelisten to the conversation and the characters especially zotov, the way they speak is so robotic it literally sounds like an AI voice, even the uncle lyonya sounds AI the way he pronounced some of the words especially “harassment” sounded like when you type in a sentence for ai to read and it just sounds out the letters instead of reading the full thing. the writing is fine that’s not what I’m talking about.
The only issues I’ve had so far is that there’s two stashes that I literally cannot find a way to get. And since the game just came out, I can’t find any solutions to them lol. But apart from that, hogs. The million health hogs that spawn in packs of 5 over and over, kill me almost instantly and take sooo many bullets. And you don’t even get anything from them.
@@ssilent8202 that’s fine but I want to kill mutants and get maybe a reward even hides/ other little materials to sell otherwise it just incentivizes you to run away which really isn’t that difficult
I have a 3060 and running on epic settings at 1080 is perfect for me. Getting about 65+ fps consistently Except for cut scenes they run at about 12-15 fps and loading screens
I just played this fir 6 straight hiurs in xbox. No bugs or performance issues at all really. Kinda framey I guess, but nothing crazy Man its good to be back in the zone. Its wild the early game weapons actual shoot straight and delete people. So Im john wick off the rip instead of 8 hours in. Game rules. Its everything i wanted. The reviews made it seem like there are tons od issues but i didn't notice any. Weird
Same, went on an 11 hour streak. Only had to reset my game once when the frames dipped and didnt recover, but other than that and some minor graphical glitches, no issues at all.
@@Ħarper yea. I had to max the sensitivity though! I play halo here and there so I'm used to it. I played the original games on PC back in the day so I knew how the game works already. Its actually way easier to shoot things in this game.
I have a 2080 on mid texture and low shadow/aliasing settings and have ran at 60fps-100fps consistently outside of one time it dropped to 15, which restarting fixed... And only have had minor visual bugs during dialogue scenes... Honestly idk what everybody is crying about in terms of performance ... I was told a 4090 wasn't even capable of handling the game ... Yet here I am. Edit: a 2080 was released 7 years ago almost ago ( a 2080 super costs $220) and you shouldn't be expected to play modern games with newer graphics if your graphics card is more than half a decade old... The fact it even runs decent on my PC is a miracle, especially considering the Studios turmoil.

Definitely my goty i didnt think id see a game like this come out for another 5+ years
Why is Charlie playing it like a dark souls run 😭
I have a 2070 and it runs great.
+rep for Ukrainian sound
Shit game don't care
Also why did the Ukraine government shell and kill tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian passport holders, their only crime was speaking the Russian language. Thats some fascist nazi behaviour right there only allowing 1 language to be spoken or you start killing civilians. You started this war in 2014 for your masters = the suits in Washington and London.. you all got played big time. Your allies US/UK also murder over a million civilians in Afghan /Iraq you are all warmongers it's pathetic.
Beautiful

I had absolutely atrocious performance. 1 stick of 16gb RAM and a driver update later, it runs buttery smooth. The biggest difference was the drivers, please update them.

you intentionally changing voice language to native? wow, thats so nice to see😊
Wow. You're a legend for posting this You just got a new subscriber❤
I don’t understand the talk about the bugs ? So far I haven’t ran into any other than small things like bodies will make a funny sound for a few seconds after being touched or the fps is a little low but not even that bad my only complaint really is the anomalies it’s super fuckin annoying and since this is my first time playing and never even watched gameplay before so I don’t understand the invisible monster
The 2h patch before release fixed most of them. It's only review copies mostly. Haven't found any bugs either so far.
@@BFG-rr9cv my brother play for 10 hours today and only come across very minor glitch, or bug like body spazzing. Or some fps drop. But not like "broken game" some people are telling
Uhhhh yea about the invisible monster......
You must be veeeeeeery lucky
I played Cyberpunk on the release day and had almost zero bugs too
Idk how to describe it but it's missing STALKER. Like it has all the names and faces, the factions, the mutants, the anomalies and artifacts, but I feel like it's missing something that made all the previous games, and even all the fan made mods, truly STALKER.
it's missing your nostalgia, i think
@rmngddd I mean, maybe? But I only got into this franchise less than a year ago. It's not like it's a staple childhood game or something I've been waiting years to see a sequel to.
Its missing A-life.
Well, its not missing it its just that there is two components: smart terrain and spawning.
Smart terrain (i.e. numerical squads being dynamically simulated) works well however spawning is down right broken since the Day 0 patch. This leads to AI being way too prominent and disrupting that vital immersion-gameplay-gunplay balance that the other STALKERS had mostly down.
That being said it likely is going to be fixed within a month or two and the rest of the game (minus performance) is great or perfect.
The best game ever. A Masterpiece. I didn't expect it, but they did it again. Any comparisons to other games that copied Stalker are just ridiculous. Dad is back and showed who's boss.
1080p on a 4090😭

Original Ukrainian voice - NICE!
It's so cool to see that people over the world play Ukrainian game! Proud of my country
1:25:41 wait.. I could speak to them instead of gunning them down? That wouldve saved me some bullets
drives me crazy to see Charlie forget so much loot
I'm downloading this game now and have never played a previous stalker game. I'm expecting thoroughly shat pants or I'll be immeasurably disappointed.
Edit*
So far my biggest issue is that for whatever reason the devs decided that having a base deadzone setting of 0 was a good fucking idea. There is also no setting to change your deadzone. Not even a small, medium, large option. In my personal opinion, there is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for any game that has come out in the last ten years not to have the bare minimum of controller sensitivity and deadzone adjustment options. I have never seen a controller that didn't have at least some level of stick drift. I've bought controllers brand new out of the box with stick drift. And usually the only real fix is to change your deadzone settings. It's nearly impossible for me to aim with any level of accuracy which in a survival shooter is kind of a big deal. If i can't find a work around i probably will just not play it until this is fixed because it's completely unplayable.
Edit 2* if you go into the reviews on Xbox just about every review is complaining about idle sway. So it's not just me having this issue. Again, completely unacceptable for a game in this era not to have adjustable deadzones.
Remember, this game IS buggy. The first games were, this one is aswell. The jank is what makes this game perfect.
@SoundTrackJ I've got an embarrassing amount of time in NV. Do thine worst
@@SoundTrackJ That's an insane level of cope.
@@Terepin64 fr, i launched the game and it was flat out unplayable, even on lowest settings.
@@Terepin64 Am I saying the bugs are good? Nope. Am I saying they are a part of the games? Yes.
Why does Charlie play this like he’s doing a speedrun surprises me he has fun playing any games
I was blown away checking it out on the Series X with the LG C1 OLED. It looks incredible and plays great! I'm puzzled by the negative talk about the Xbox version.
They must be playing on old gen, they should only allow it on new gen so they stop getting bad reviews about that, sad to see that they incompetent about being able to play on old gen
The anomalies, there in the walls!
The English voice acting isn't bad, though I know it's a stalker staple so I get it
i went with English, no regrets, it's actually quite good.
its just weird being in ukrain and everyone has american accents
@@punksnotdead5367 yeah it's just immersion breaking...
@@punksnotdead5367 realistically, there'd be STALKERs from all over the world, so I think it's cool, plus getting so many different people to do good slavic accents would be difficult

Looks like a good game
Looks like a 2008 game
@@youtubeenjoyer1743 "somebody who has never played a 2008 game":
2008 games were great
@@IDFKaname7890 You are right. This 2024 game has worse lighting and dynamic shadows than the first stalker game.
@@youtubeenjoyer1743 do I hear a salty hater?? You must be delusional if you think lighting and graphics are bad
This reminds me of my favorite TV show shoe and shoelace
Developers need to focus on optimizations and not pretty lights and shadows no one cares about fsr is not a substitute for optimization and has ruined gaming.
Settle down it’s literally launch day, it’s expected for it to be unoptimized
@@daniboyrulez That "it is expected" is no excuse, never was and never will be. I understand it is lately used because of the amount of games with problems at launch but people are buying a full game, and that implies it should be ready to play with no big problems from the start, this specially since sure we have cases where games do indeed get optimized and then improved, but also plenty of others were there is at most one patch that just fixed bugs and didn't improve in other of the problems of the game.
Buying a game just shouldn't be a gamble on if it improves or not and so why this criticism is needed.
@@insanianevi8089 it is expected of the franchise...
@@insanianevi8089 So then don’t buy it lol, they literally said there will be bugs and it will most likely run poorly. If you don’t like it refund it, otherwise wait more until they patch it until it runs smoothly. It’s not rocket science
What do you mean pretty lights and shadows? It looks like a 2008 game, my dude. In fact, look at the first 3 stalker games. They had better dynamic shadows. This is so embarrassing for a 2024 release.
Bugs: Zero
Stutters: 387,342,029 AND COUNTING.
Cannot wait to try me a Rattlecage b580!!!!
Finally a game that seems fully authentic to a style other than Elden ring. This was a fun stream to watch!
The game has a wonderful and unique vibe
I hope u already know this by now but you can trade with almost everyone that u talk to by pressing E, therefore you don’t have to carry everything
Loved the stream
Love the video but god damn he slapping the hell out those keys for the most minimal movement
This was a great stream
Ive had basically no issues on xbox. I cant speak for pc but its been very fun for me
it would be so cool if the AI would attack you like real squads with tactics but can't have everything i guess 🤣
Remember the first one is the best and worst feeling sometimes
Bruh A-Life is entirely gone. It's the most depressing thing ever to realize that as you play. The game barely reacts to you and just spawns stuff in like right next to you
You gotta remember the game was developed through a pandemic and a literal warzone while also having the main creator killed in Russia’s invasion.
That's very sad bruh
@@suicidalbubblethecopyninja5984 Well yeah, and I get that. But that's no excuse seeing as A-life 2.0 was something they advertised and boasted about, but it's literally non-existent.
I love stalker and support the devs, but that is just blatant lying...
The devs said they’re working on fixing it in the discord
@@suicidalbubblethecopyninja5984shit game don't care
not sure if its correct or not but hear something about the original pistol you get "skifs pistol" can be repaired for next to nothing, which makes it the better alternative. also cant be dropped anyway so clears up space for a weapon so you might as well carry the ammo for it. can use the extra space for a better secondary during big fights or just more stuff for your primary.
1:52:22. Absolute twitch brainrot mentality. Missed out on 10k because he wants to play the game like COD
The dude spent he first hour of the game throwing bolts at NPCs, and when he designs characters in games like Dark Souls he spends like ~10mins creating the fugliest one he can. It was funny the first 5 times or so, but now watching him do stupid shit all the time is getting old.
I wonder when the last time he truly immersed himself in a video game was...
@@chillinoutmaxin4630 It's a common symptom. You can't maintain an audience by being normal. You have to entertain children or lose your followers.
Tue best way to describe STALKER 2 at launch is "Fallout: New Vegas without mods" It's an amazing game that needs a bit more time before it can be stable, ehich is fine in my book.
Why does the npc’s see you in pitch black. 100 meters away thru bushes.
He didn't turn out his flashlight
There is zero benefit from killing monsters except when a direct self defense situation. Sneaking or running away is best for resoirce management.

@AstoraNoble I've had family that lived there i know enough
"The knife is not good"
Bro, i cleared half that base with just stealth knife assassinations before resorting to shooting. Its for breaking containers and stealth kills. Also, by breaking containers with your gun, you are degrading your weapon condition
The game is really good so far some frame drops but other than that no bugs but devs are doing some hotfixes soon and later some bigger patches, I'm looking forward to what this game might become in the future especially with the mods.
There are no bugs friend, only anomalies
1:44:16 ok, was pretty sure a bug was here with the gate and the dogs, that many of them id assume a pathfinding issue was there because so many dogs and so little actually hit especially when across the gate in his retreat. but the more i look at it the more it looks like the original games ai which was called a-life. supposed to simulate a living world and such with smarty pants ai. and this actually does kinda remind me of that. some animals when encountered and your not sneaking would retreat if you aim your weapon at them while they are charging. and if pack animals will try and gang up from angels. pretty sure that is happening here which is pretty cool. sure games like metro or something might still do that now but back in the day this was pretty cool and original. 2007 was it's release date, fallout 3 which id consider it's closest in terms of ai or what you could make it do through mods (MMM or marts mutant mod) was a year later. keep in mind back then all you had was the big online surge. games where you face off against even three ai factions wasn't really a thing let alone what these games attempted to do. there wasn't much being done at the time for ai and id say still isn't. games like this make me want to come back. the multiplayer crud you see these days makes me want to go to work tomorrow.
Unbelievable they already made a 2025 simulator
Bro💀
People need to understand that pre-release bugtesting tells the devs very little compared to what the hundreds of thousands of players discover once the game is actually released. Also, what's so bad about the English dub? A lot of people don't want to spend half of the game reading subs (especially after coming home from 8 hours of working), and the zone would have people from all around the world anyway, so it doesn't even break the immersion that much.
Charlie: "It's not a clip, you moron. It's called a magazine!"
Also Charlie: *sees surpressor* "ooh a silencer!" 😅
The guy who patented the design called them "silencers," making that their official name, so technically its not incorrect.
clips and magazines are different things, suppressor and silencer are literally a synonym, braindead redditor
So glad this game is on Xbox. Been having a blast.
1:39:18 this whole conversation sounds like AI Ngl

@@AdolfHitler-lk4vo very expected comment from a person with such nickname
@@eineatombombelisten to the conversation and the characters especially zotov, the way they speak is so robotic it literally sounds like an AI voice, even the uncle lyonya sounds AI the way he pronounced some of the words especially “harassment” sounded like when you type in a sentence for ai to read and it just sounds out the letters instead of reading the full thing. the writing is fine that’s not what I’m talking about.
Bolts. The zones greatest weapon.
The only issues I’ve had so far is that there’s two stashes that I literally cannot find a way to get. And since the game just came out, I can’t find any solutions to them lol. But apart from that, hogs. The million health hogs that spawn in packs of 5 over and over, kill me almost instantly and take sooo many bullets. And you don’t even get anything from them.
He’s my issue is killing mutants/animals nets no rewards whatsoever no point in fighting anything but other stalker NPC’s which is lame
@@diorspit1109maybe just avoid them? Ya know, try to survive?
@@ssilent8202 that’s fine but I want to kill mutants and get maybe a reward even hides/ other little materials to sell otherwise it just incentivizes you to run away which really isn’t that difficult

Been playing for 8 hours i have a rx6800 non xt runs at around 100 frames on high only bug I've had so far is the textures glitching out on walls
Looking forward to playing it on my 6750XT.
I have a 3060 and running on epic settings at 1080 is perfect for me. Getting about 65+ fps consistently
Except for cut scenes they run at about 12-15 fps and loading screens
why is he playing in 1080p with DLSS with 4090?
Game doesn’t seem to be well Optimized on pc.
@ not true, check zWORMz 4090 benchmark in this game, the reason Charlie was getting Fps drops is the CPU bottleneck
@ if he would play in 1440p or 4K frame time would be smoother
Good afternoon, everyone. I pray all is well. God bless ❤
It was really hard watching Charlie struggle to play any part of this game lol. He's not very good at fps games
If you melee everything with your guns you will damage them much faster
I just played this fir 6 straight hiurs in xbox. No bugs or performance issues at all really. Kinda framey I guess, but nothing crazy
Man its good to be back in the zone. Its wild the early game weapons actual shoot straight and delete people. So Im john wick off the rip instead of 8 hours in.
Game rules. Its everything i wanted. The reviews made it seem like there are tons od issues but i didn't notice any. Weird
Same, went on an 11 hour streak. Only had to reset my game once when the frames dipped and didnt recover, but other than that and some minor graphical glitches, no issues at all.
Are you playing with controller, it’s definitely partly due to lack of shooter experience but I’m getting my ass kicked 😂
@@Ħarper yea. I had to max the sensitivity though! I play halo here and there so I'm used to it.
I played the original games on PC back in the day so I knew how the game works already. Its actually way easier to shoot things in this game.
I hope they will inegtrate the AI-life like in the first ones, that made the zone special

Who picks up new guns and then never equips them to try them out? So frustrating to watch

I have a 2080 on mid texture and low shadow/aliasing settings and have ran at 60fps-100fps consistently outside of one time it dropped to 15, which restarting fixed... And only have had minor visual bugs during dialogue scenes... Honestly idk what everybody is crying about in terms of performance ... I was told a 4090 wasn't even capable of handling the game ... Yet here I am.
Edit: a 2080 was released 7 years ago almost ago ( a 2080 super costs $220) and you shouldn't be expected to play modern games with newer graphics if your graphics card is more than half a decade old... The fact it even runs decent on my PC is a miracle, especially considering the Studios turmoil.
