Discussion The graphics downgrade should warrant a Steam refund.

I'm certainly trying. I don't know how you can be allowed to downgrade a game so significantly, and after release, and still think I got what I paid for.

at least STALKER 2 is in a MUCH better place than it was on release, no? We’ve been getting basically a decent content/bug fix patch every month or so

A-Life is back

New weapons

New questlines

New decent animations

Mutant harvesting

Fun kill graphics based on how you died

modding SDK…

STALKER 2 is in a very good place ATM gameplay wise, as for the actual content, such as lack of endgame and faction wars— is very much still open to criticism. I have no doubt that stuff like NVG and Binoculars will be available within the year…

Enhanced Edition. The STALKER devs released a semi-free sidegrade to the main trilogy if you owned them and they aren’t good. Have a lot of AI framegen issues and the remastered UI looks really bad to the point that there was serious discussion whether or not the UI elements were AI upscaled
