As soon as they fix the lag and all builds become viable instead of having to look up a guide to beat bosses, I'm in. I think they're taking the piss with 30 euro for Early Access though, that's rough pricing. Not saying it should be free but 30 euro to help them balance the game seems unfair. 

To be fair, I beat the bosses without guides, but it was rough. Especially Act 1 and 2 main bosses are hard with sub-optimal planning and building.

I gladly paid my 30 euros for it, knowing what they're capable of, and seeing the trite BS we're sold for twice that by large studios (Blizzard - I might be looking your way right now).

On another note; I'm going back into STALKER 2 in the coming days, A-life is a literal game-changer.

We're playing couch co-op and got to the first main boss today. At least I assume the boss at the bottom of the manor is the end of Act 1.

It's a very cool fight but we're not surviving phase 3 yet and went back to level up some more. We're currently lvl 18, monk + warrior. We know nothing of optimal builds, just playing the game together for fun. Hopefully we can get to Act 2 before the normal enemies stop giving xp :/

Initially the game had some issues at the default 4K graphics mode. Very bad shimmering and missing tiles on the ramparts, holes in the floor. It runs better now at 1440p, still the PS5 Pro is struggling a bit, screen tearing visible now and then. (Better then before when it had regular slow down just walking)

It's definitely worth $30 already in its current state, we racked up 15 hours together already and are only in Act 1.

There seems to be a bug introduced in the latest patch (I read). We tried getting our oldest into the party but however we try it we immediately get kicked out to the character select screen again for "performing too many actions at once" error.

We're playing couch co-op, trying to invite our oldest to the party and then that happens :/ We also don't see any other players in couch co-op who do appear when walking around alone in the village. It would be cool if all 4 of us could play, double couch co-op, two TVs in the living room, but that doesn't seem to want to work in its current state.


I've got STALKER 2 as well, but doesn't run on my gaming laptop. I'm waiting for the PS5 version and then buy it again. My CPU is simply too slow (2.2 ghz) for the game to run even at the lowest settings. The input lag kills it. Meeting minimum GPU requirements doesn't make it playable doh. Need a 4 ghz CPU minimum.
