The lonely stalker seems to free his mind at night.

Update After 30 Hours:

I truly do love this game. But something about it irritates me - and it's not the slavic jankiness that every stalker is so familiar with. It'll never be as good as the original games, granted. But it's still a very good game in it's own right.

It just could be so much better.

And when it comes to holding this game back, the most notable culprit is the new A-Life 2.0 (or lack thereof.) It's either completely broken in its current state or is missing entirely. And that makes the Zone feel lifeless. The gameplay can be boiled down to walking from one combat encounter to the next with absolutely noting happening in between except for having to navigate through or around anomalies. There's absolutely zero organic, random encounters with mutants or NPCs while you walk between one location and another. This is somewhat mitigated by the games incredible atmosphere, graphics & sound design - but that's absolutely no excuse for the absence of such a key component of what makes S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so unique and re-playable.

GSC Game World, pls fix.

Other than that this game is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. through and through.

Update After 80 Hours:

So GSC listened, and A-Life 2.0 is now working. It's still a little bare-bones compared to the original trilogy, however. And the games performance took a bit of a hit. But it's still a massive step in the right direction - and I have no doubt that GSC will continue to build upon and improve what they've created thus far.

But the latest patch (patch 1.1.) introduced an entirely new bug that has completely softlocked story progress for me and many others. Players can no longer enter Malachite without their inventory becoming so glitched that it's impossible to use. And, unfortunately, Malachite is preciously where I need to go in order to meet a character and begin the next main quest.

GSC Game World, pls fix.

By combining Episode 1 & 2 into Half-Life 2 with the 20th anniversary update, Valve has increased the total amount of achievements to 69.

lol. nice.

Why didn't James just go to the church at the Silent Hill cemetery and pray to God for forgiveness? Is he stupid?

I dropped a Fallout 2 playthrough so that I could pick this game up

It’s absolutely criminal that a game this good is totally free.

I felt a great disturbance in The Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror. I fear something terrible has happened. The Battlefront Classic Collection has been released.

An absolutely amazing game that comes bundled with an abysmal third-party software that is required to run said game. Or at least in theory that's what the Rockstar Launcher is supposed to be for. In reality the version that is installed on your computer when you download RDR2 is totally broken. Upon launching the game for the first time you'll be brought to the Rockstar Launcher login page where you'll be asked to either sign-in to an existing account or create a new one. No problem, right? At least it wouldn't be if Rockstar gave a sh*t about the products they're selling their customers.

I tried several times to log into my existing Rockstar account which I've had since the days of GTAIV & Max Payne 3 only to be told that my email isn't associated with any account. It took me several attempts because I assumed the error was me entering the wrong password - but once I actually read what it was telling me I was struck with momentary panic. Has my account been hacked and stolen from me? It seemed entirely possible given how vulnerable Rockstar seems to be to all sorts of hacks and leaks these days. But that's not what was happening, fortunately. Instead I was able to log into my account just fine via the Rockstar Social Club website on Google Chrome which meant the problem lay with the launcher itself and not my account - and in the end I had to completely uninstall the launcher, re-download it directly from the Rockstar website, and then launch it independently before trying to run RDR2 through Steam. This way I was able to login to my account without issue before finally being able to play the game I bought on Steam.

But the problems didn't end there.

I played for a couple hours after this whole ordeal with all the graphics settings maxed out and the game running flawlessly (and beautifully!) but once the next day rolled around and I got a chance to boot it back up I found the game looking worse than it did on PS4. For some reason the Rockstar Launcher appeared to be loading cloud saves of my settings from when I was playing many years ago (and on a much less powerful computer) and refusing to update or overwrite these settings with my new ones. Now every time I launch the game I have to go back into the graphics settings and max things out.

It's all so tiresome.

And at this point it's pretty clear to me that Rockstar is not the company that I fell in love with in the 2000s. Money has ruined them just like it did to Bethesda - and now the writings on the wall: GTAVI is going to be a crude mockery of the great games that preceded it. And when they finally get around to porting it to PC a year after releasing it on consoles (so that more people will buy it twice) you'll have to contend with one of the worst launchers I've ever had the displeasure of installing on my computer.

All this to say that I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to go down in history as the last truly great video game that Rockstar ever made. But my god do they ever make it a pain in the arse to go back and replay.

Guys bein' dudes.

Should have called this the Dunce Cap because you'd have to be a 'tard to wear a hat this big in a game like this.

Atomic Heart can best be described as the Russian spiritual successor to Bioshock; and as a fan of that series this game has been on my radar for awhile now. Although it wasn't until I saw that the Ukrainian government was calling for it to be banned off digital storefronts that I made up my mind to buy it upon release rather than wait for it to be discounted in a Steam sale. And now after putting a couple hours into it I can safely say that I made the right decision. It's been a long time since I've played a game that is as well optimized as this, let alone one that released on day 1 that way.

It's quite refreshing, honestly.

The English voice acting on the other hand is quite atrocious... but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise because once I switched the dialogue language under the audio settings to Russian the game instantly became a lot more immersive than it would have been if I had persisted & experienced a Soviet world where everybody spoke English.
