Why is everyone shocked that a Stalker games runs like shit and is buggy?

I mean, everyone knew that the moment these chucklefucks went "WE GONNA BE ON UNREAL 5 GUYZ!", but I'd say the problem is that leaked build back in 2023 proved that everyone was right calling out GSC for doing jack shit for four years.

Not really a suprise, just expecting something better than the OG Trilogy at least.
And no UE5 is not an excuse.

Also:
>140GB game
In comparison S.T.A.L.K.E.R SOC is about 7GB. You love to see it.

SEGA made a commercial for S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2:
 
These people deserve the slop they tolerate

I think the anger over yellow paint is pants shittingly retarded at times, but man it's really out of place here. Even Star Wars Outlaws let you switch it off.

Disregard, I suck cocks. Can be disabled under the Game menu.

Played through the Prologue on my lunch break. So far it feels more like Metro Exodus than the Stalker of old, but I am holding off forming an opinion until I play some more after work

That's a shame. I dropped off Exodus really hard because it couldn't commit to being open like STALKER or linear like the previous two Metros.

According to the reviews that mention it, the game does open up after the prologue and proper starting area, I'm only about half an hour past the prologue and still in the first area so I can't say for myself how much that's the case.

Will say the prologue got me nervous as fuck though, it gives you some assault rifles and you can find decent amount of ammo right off the bat, but at least by the end of it you're reduced to only your crappy pistol with little ammo and a detector when you're thrown into the proper game.

I had the same feeling, the opening definitely doesn't do it any favors. I'm about an hour and a half in and it's opened up more.

Performance is all over the place though. The game loads, then will load all the assets around you once it drops you into the map, why not just make load times a little longer?.

I also hit a cutscene and it destroyed my framerate, dropped down to about 5 FPS and didn't recover until I restarted the game. Same thing happened a little while later, frame rate took a massive shit for no reason and didn't recover.
 
I'm just waiting a few months for the big bugs to be patched and for someone to tell me if it's good or not

Who invaded Prague?

German tourists, I assume.
To be fair, some devs stayed behind in Ukraine, but most of them moved to Prague. I think it's safe to assume those who stayed were not as important. Do we have any info on outsourcing though? Doubt it's 100% GSC's work, some pajeets definitely must have worked on it too, right? I'm looking at you, Starfield.
