Fuck russia.
So I’ve always heard of but never played the first Stalker. Obviously it has a pretty big reputation. Do I need to play the first? Is there a synopsis of the first that will suffice? This game looks right up my alley. Gritty sci-fi shooter in a similar timeline. Looks gorgeous as well.
Story is the least important part of Stalker series (there’s 3 previous games).
I’m about to okay for the first time. Compiling shaders zzz… Edit: it’s a lot of fun, good combination of environment, action and story (so far) I’m getting about 110 fps with a 3070ti on high settings at 1440p
3080, runs like shit tbh.
Just to add a little insight to this; compiling shaders on your own machine is an absolute win in bandwidth and storage space.
Isn’t the game some 150GiB?
Thats just UE5 being UE5.
Who on earth worries about bandwidth nowada… Oh, them. Lol 😂
Not everybody has the money for good internet…
That, and there are still many parts of the US that are underserved in internet access. I have a friend who lives ~15 minutes outside of a major city and, until recently, the whole family shared a flaky ~2Mbps connection. They begrudgingly adopted Starlink because that was the only decent option.
Fibre is only a few euros a mon… Oh wait, them again 😂
“them”?
Are you some sort of schizophrenic?
Hm. I got a 4070 super and getting 55-60. But I’m also running it straight out the box on Linux, so there will hopefully be a slew of performance gains to be had then. Glad it’s not the game itself running poorly! It does feel a bit more streamlined (kinda like the morrowind -> oblivion transition), but I’m still really enjoying the game so far 4 hours in.
I actually wonder what’s up with 4AGames/Metro. Metro Awakening might be nice and all, but it’s not an Exodus sequel. And not by 4AGames.
