If this were a AAA studio like Ubisoft or EA I would say that there wouldn't be any excuse for the bugs. Considering the devs smaller size and being invaded by Russia, the game releasing at all is nothing short of a miracle and true achievement by the devs. Some bugs and performance issues can be easily looked over, especially since it'll get patched up in the coming months.

Every enemy has an "anti-aim-assist" bubble that actively prevents you from aiming directly at them unless they're not moving at all. Moreover, being forced to dump several magazines into a single Bloodsucker is ridiculous (even if it's just submachine gun ammo). That's not "amazing gunplay," that's just artificial difficulty.

So just to explain as someone who reviewed the game. Reviewers played a version of the game that was completely broken before the two huge patches close to launch. I reviewed it on Series X it ran and looked terrible, the framerate was a huge issue. The game would crash and was filled with mission bugs and environmental bugs as well. That is why player's experience is different.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my pc (which can play CP2077 maxed out) literally just can't play STALKER 2. Every 20-30 seconds there's a 30-40% reduction in CPU utilization that turns the game into a slideshow. I can't even get past the intro/tutorial area, it's that bad. Just makes me glad I had GamePass. If I'd spent full price on it, I'd be pretty vitriolic too. The inconsistency in experience screams "lack of optimization", which there really isn't an excuse for when the fix is literally "just don't release the software yet", especially when the AI system is broken too. Ah well. Maybe it'll actually be done in another 6 months.

The most annoying bug I've had is missions in Garbage completing on their own for some reason which disallows you to continue the story, effectively bricking the game. I had to reload about an hour before and prioritize turning in certain missions first. I also had a situation where I was supposed to collect three of a certain type of gun from three dead guys marked on the map, but because I was using the same type of weapon as my main, it would mark the mission complete after picking up just two of them. I had my own weapon fully upgraded though, so I'm definitely not trying to turn that in as a quest item. Regardless, I'm still having fun with the game.

5:45 I don't think you played the previous games in the series. This isn't an issue of whether or not the game is unplayable it's playable it's just not up to snuff regarding what we have experienced 20 years ago. The AI system in this game is not functioning correctly and if you aren't a fan of stalker you probably won't even notice what everyone else is complaining about. No we just notice that the A-Life system that was advertised and that existed in the older games isn't functioning right now. If you played the older titles you would know what I'm talking about but you probably didn't and you probably didn't even notice that this game has a bunch of static quest related spawns then just random blobs of enemies that keep re spawning in certain areas, enemies popping in and popping out of existence within a 65 meter radius, etc. Thing is this is something like seeing an old cyst on your girlfriends face. You won't see it for months you never noticed it before, but once you see it. It is the only thing you will notice whenever you see her face. Not that there is anything wrong with that btw you still love her but it's fucking annoying and the older games did not have this cyst permeating every aspect of gameplay. What this problem really is reminiscient of for me at least is noticing after you play GTA5's open world you will realize that only like 10 different cars spawn out of the pool of at least 100 once you finish the game. Those same 10 cars will keep spawning and only those 10 cars. Cars that you had acquired previously in the game will never ever spawn again because the spawn pool changes and then stagnates. Well at least this was what happened to the game on the PS3/360 versions I don't know about the newer versions of said game. It's just one of those things where once you realize it you see it and it's the only thing you see and then it just ruins all sense of immersion. GSC has btw admitted that the A-Life system IS NOT functioning right now and players have a right to complain about this because it's a core mechanic to the STALKER games and they even advertised A-Life 2.0 as new updated revolutionary mechanic and you cannot just sit there and attribute this to mindless haters. GSC has admitted to their mistakes the haters are right even if you find their outbursts to be unreasonable. It's irrelevant how these hateful outbursts make people feel at the end of the day GSC fucked up and they need to get their spawning system functioning again if this is to be a true sequel to STALKER.

I had very bad stuttering for like 12 hours, and it did get progressively worse (to the point my frames would drop from 90+ fps to single digits and sit there until I closed the game). But, thankfully to some very helpful community members in their discord, I was advised to turn off frame gen. As soon as I did, all my stutters stopped altogether. I have played for about 8 hours since, and still no issues at all. I did lose about 20-30 additional FPS, but to me, it's worth it to actually be able to play the game. There are graphical glitches like flickering in some places, but these are few and far between. I am thoroughly enjoying the game now that I have frame gen off. This, however, is still not ideal, as this should work, and even if it doesn't, I shouldn't be struggling to stay above 60fps with my rig.

I’m running stalker 2 on the series s with minimal issues. I saw a guy say he was getting 74fps and that anything under 144 is unplayable. I’m sorry but the expectations for stalker 2 are so far out of wack. This game has issues every AAA product has and yet it’s open world has more care put into it than any Ubisoft game I’ve touched in years. The conversation should be that stalker 2 is one of the best open world games released this year despite being in direct competition with studios who had more resources and less challenges.

1:49 RPS article highlights: stuttering performance (PC build skill issue), HUD "issues" (certain HUD elements disappear after updating, dude was probably just not paying attention), flashing texture issues (only happens after messing with settings, annoying for sure), and bad mouth animations (I have a feeling he was playing with English dubbed audio, it's flawless in Ukrainian). How do any of these things contribute to making a game "the most borked FPS I've played in years" unless you've literally never played an FPS? I don't care if my enemies mouth looks perfect while I'm shooting them. I do care that enemies pop in around you in an immersion-breaking manner instead of dynamically roaming around you, but RPS probably didn't notice that.

I have 15 hours in the game one pc. I've encountered only 1 bug and sometimes performance tanks due to something I think has to do with lighting on characters and I have to restart the game. I'm having a lot of fun with it and the occasional restart is just something they need to adres asap. All in all it's a rather normal launch to me for a game this day and age.

On the topic Flight Sim 2024: I've never heard this being mentioned, but companies know exactly how much their servers will be loaded on launch, but they choose to deal with the negligent backlash instead of scaling their infrastructure for a capacity they will only need once. Besides, no press is bad press... people who bought the game are not going to actually refund it and now people who haven't bought the game, know it exists (I didn't know about it before this video).

Another thing to factor why this game is playable for you is that you both are playing on high end pcs and I am not sure how many players have that I for one have an in between but my graphics card is a 2060 6gb and it runs horrible, we are talking about on average 30-45 frames when it’s working but every other 5 minutes it drops down to 10 fps every 5 minutes as well so it’s like it works well for 5 minutes then craps the bed for another 5

Thats exactly what it was. SkillUp said that a lot of the major bugs he addressed in his review video were no longer there after the day 1 patch but the game still needed more time to cook. I'd say come back to this one in a couple months myself. It's way better to play Cyberpunk 2077 now than it was at launch. No reason to ruin your memories of this game with jank.

Early game had no bugs but the further on you progress they start to pile up and it’s getting annoying. It went from super fun to ‘I just want to finish this game ASAP’ and wait for patches. It’s funny because it’s the opposite of what I experienced for Cyberpunk when everyone was complaining I managed to complete the game relatively fine with Stalker 2 I’m anticipating where the next soft lock or botched enemy encounter is coming.

Seeing people compare STALKER 2 to Cyberpunk really has me feeling crazy cause it’s more comparable to Dragons Dogma 2. Where it’s biggest issues really have been performance stuff, but seeing what the game is trying to do, I can look over it a bit cause on my PC it’s been pretty solid. Some glitches here and there but nothing game breaking. Cyberpunk launched unfinished, poorly optimized all over the board and was just unplayable for some. I feel people’s memory of the launch are starting to fade a lot and that’s kinda worrying.

I don't really play FromSoftware games, but I don't need to in order to recognize how important it is that they stay separate from platform ownership. This is especially true for Sony, given they're literally the ones in question here. Other companies I'd say the same for are Epic, Nintendo, and so on... basically anyone but themselves as their success continues. Forced exclusivity on neutral IPs is ridiculous in today's world.

It's 2025. Anything less than 60 fps is unacceptable and should be rejected. Console gamers love to play shit at 30 frames per second with 4k textures that cost 200GB. The lowest common denominator of all human life are the ones dictating what is acceptable. Democracy in action.

This has been my biggest complaint so far. Needing to restart the game every couple hours didnt bother me too much and only had 1 crash. I havent had any quests mess up either(yet). Has some bugs sure but I've found it very playable and a good time. To be fair Ive been waiting a long time for it so I guess I am biased.

I've not had outrageous bugs. I've had a couple crashes but that's about it for truly annoying bugs. Most of it just feels Bethesda (oblivion, skyrim, fallout three and four) level jank where they have stretched themselves a bit far but everything is around 80% working which on an individual level isn't too bad but when several things don't quite line up it can be hilariously jarring. But maybe it's just me but I can handle that and it doesn't make me love the game any less. Especially given what it took for them to make this game. I'm also aware that there are mods out already that fix a lot of stuff, so while you can't lean on that, its a lovely cherry on top that means I feel really good about spending the amount I have on a game I know I'll be playing skyrim hours on
