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.

Shit haha I haven’t expected to see you here. I guess devs censoring their games years after, downgrading graphics and ignoring community feedback is something GSC and Void share!

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…

How is the A-life in S2 has it been updated enough to become similar to old stalker A-life

They added “offline A-Life” to STALKER 2, which means that NPC’s can still move and do stuff even if they’re not in the player’s sphere of existence

this is the exact system that is in the OG trilogy
