You're kind of out-of-the-loop here so I'll be gentle, this game has lots of bugs.
That said, bugs can be dealt with,, and it looks fantastic. Story is good too. Have fun.

i bought game pass for a month to try stalker 2 - already uninstalled it and installed metro exodus again and i'll stick to the old stalker games and gamma.

Stalker 2 unfortunately just looks like a "pity us, so pay for our poorly made game" which is something I will not support. If it's this bad now, can you imagine what state it was in when it was going to launch in 2022? Can't even imagine.

This game does have bugs, but they aren't game breaking bugs or even a big deal. I've just hit the desert and have only experienced a few graphical bugs, the row boats are a hair annoying as they get stuck a lot and once in an absolute blue moon I lose audio and have to restart. All absolutely nothing compared to what stalker 2 is seeing.

looking x5 times better than the 2024 release of Stalker 2, and has pretty much close to ZERO bugs.

In todays gaming world, it is pretty much standard to release games full of bugs, that's nothing new or noticeable. Very few games these days have a long (open) beta phase or even early access.

bugs is an understatement
Its literally unfinished. Graphical glitches, artifacts, FPS drops to 30-40 in a village on a RTX 4090, enemy NPC squads instantly respawning when you turn around for one second.

Stalker 2 right now is unpolished, unfinished garbage full of bugs, with them deleting the messages of "A-life" technology from the steam page the last moment before release.

I read a few reviews but nothing like that was mentioned. Anyway, doesn't belong here. Have fun with Metro!

This is well known information that they have advertised for years it would have a-life 2.0 then magically right before release they deleted all mentions of it.

Whatever, this is not the Stalker Forum.

I just wanted to make this post to confirm that it was something I did in fact write, but I thought better of engaging the person I was originally replying to, so I decided to delete it. cuss is just too fast for me. He's fast as **** boy!

STALKER 2 failed as their main focus was politics. I recently tried the Metro series and I am amazed how even Metro Last Light Redux looks much better than STALKER 2.

comparison is the thief of joy
bro forgot this game was on epic on release and wasnt without its hitches ON RELEASE

No bugs??? LOL
i just tried to play this game for first time and it doesnt keep save or even the game settings and i havent even found a solution yet. its crazyyy
