unlabelledView post →Stream was a success, did a combination of Mortal Shell 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2. Love them both, such great game experiences so far. S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 has some great open world gameplay, though not a big fan of the big packs of mutated dogs 😅 The enemy variety in Mortal Shell 2 is so cool!

unlabelledView post →S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 really isn't a game made for micro sessions. You gotta sit down for a meaty chunk if you want to play it #stalker #stalker2 #gaming
unlabelledView post →S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl Big fan of the Stalker series and this game has everything familiar from the previous titles while also giving huge QoL upgrades. The Ai is mostly terrible and at certain points unfair on veteran difficulty, but that's really my only gripe.
unlabelledView post →I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised how "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2" looks in performance mode. I mostly do not care about 60fps unless this is a an action game and often performance modes look atrocious but here despite more aggressive pop up do to LoD and slight resolution drop it looks great.
unlabelledView post →Let's conduct a #Stalker2 2.0.5 (#UnrealEngine 5.5?) experiment. I've just started #Steam, after ~10 h, and immediately, i get a 3.4gig #Shader pre-cache update. And another 1.5gig on top. I'd bet, when i start the game, it's gonna compile shaders, regardless. We'll see; i'll start a stopwatch - twice, launching the game with pre-cache vs. self-compiled/hot cache. Edit: +2 pics, all right, if it's not a content update, you "lose" only ~40 seconds on #Vulcan processing.
unlabelledView post →I just finished my 10th play-threw of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, this time with the Cost of Hope DLC and on master difficulty. I now clock 574 hours in this game.
unlabelledView post →#43: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Cost of Hope DLC (Freedom route) Really high quality, the setpieces are a step above everything in the base game. Duty also finally gets something to be involved in. The gimmick of the CNPP zone is really annoying but eventually you can do a sidequest to turn it off.
unlabelledView post →With hopefully a lot less issues this time, let's get back into some STALKER 2! I really want to get more of this game out and play it, because I am having too much fun with it honestly. It's such a vibe. Come and hang out! www.twitch.tv/corgsdale
unlabelledView post →@deathmetal Google Translate is actually quite helpful, when i play #Stalker2 - i don't speak Ukrainian(barely able to pronounce Cyrillic - and i'm not using the English textures mod). Just throw a screenshot at the clanker, and it spits out a translation, with fancy lingo-auto-detect ..mostly, because the stylised font(hand writing) remains rather difficult.
