I went into Stalker 2 blind. This game is a masterpiece.

Let the devs put out patches. I didn't even know there was controversy around the game until I checked out the subreddit.

Seriously, it's visually stunning--among the best looking games I've played. The combat is intense, I have been craving a good low TTK RPG.

The only complaints I have are lighting issues, which I fixed in graphics settings for the most part, and I feel like the stealth system needs some work. Enemies either can't see you at point blank or they will see you while you're crouched behind bushes from a quarter mile away.

Overall though this game just became a daily driver for me. Please give it time to cook!

Edit: You guys can keep calling me a casual gamer for having a different opinion I don't give a fuck, this will be the best game on the market since RDR2 when patches are pushed through.

A lot of you are straight assholes. Somebody likes something more than you do so they're either an idiot or a fanboy (this is my first stalker game)

Beyond all of that, half of you don't know what going in blind means. Why would A-Life not being in the game matter to me or my opinion of the game when I didn't even know it's supposed to exist until looking at the subreddit?

All in all the complaints either are minimal (No Night Vision, who gives a fuck?) Don't effect everyone (broken quests) or have been addressed and will be patched (Spawning issues, A-life)

This community is looking icky so far.
