Stalker 2: Tester Kritikpunkte – Meine Erfahrungen und Tipps

Hey Leute! So, Stalker 2, right? Massive hype, right? I was so hyped. Pre-ordered it, the whole shebang. But let me tell you, my initial experience? A bit of a rollercoaster. This ain't a full-blown review – more like a "what I learned the hard way" kind of post. Think of it as your friendly neighborhood gamer's guide to navigating the initial bugs and frustrations of Stalker 2.

Performance Issues: My Biggest Headache

Man, the performance. I'm running a pretty decent rig – RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB RAM – and I still experienced some serious stuttering. We're talking frame rate drops that made combat feel like a slideshow. It was brutal. Seriously, I almost chucked my controller across the room a few times. The initial patches helped, but it's still not perfect.

Lesson Learned: Check those system requirements carefully. And maybe, just maybe, wait for a few more patches before diving in headfirst. You know, avoid being an early adopter if you're sensitive to bugs. Seriously. It saved me some headaches. I mean, I'm still a little salty about it, but you live and learn, right?

AI and Pathfinding: A Work in Progress

The AI, especially in the early game, felt… well, a little off. Enemies would sometimes get stuck on geometry, or their pathfinding would be completely bonkers. I've seen them teleport across the map, literally. It was hilarious, but also frustrating when you're trying to sneak around. It added to the "weirdness" of the game, I guess?

Tip: Embrace the chaos! Okay, maybe not embrace it fully, but sometimes the AI glitches can lead to some genuinely funny moments. Also, utilizing the environment to your advantage – using cover and flanking – becomes even more crucial.

The User Interface (UI): A Few Hiccups

The UI isn't terrible, but it could use some refinement. Navigating the inventory can be a bit clunky, and some of the menu options aren't very intuitive. I spent way too much time fiddling around with settings, which was less than ideal during tense situations.

My Recommendation: Take some time to familiarize yourself with the UI before you start your serious playthrough. You can explore the settings, understand the controls, and get used to the inventory management.

Graphics: Stunning, But...

The graphics are undeniably gorgeous. Seriously jaw-dropping at times. The level of detail is insane. The atmospheric effects are amazing. But, again, this beauty comes at a cost, especially on lower-end PCs.

My two cents: If you're aiming for the best visual experience, make sure your system can handle the settings you want. If you are playing on a lower-spec system, be prepared to make some compromises and to tweak the settings to get playable performance.

Overall Thoughts: Potential, But Needs Polishing

Despite the early hiccups (and trust me, there were a few), Stalker 2 has a lot of potential. The atmosphere is captivating, the gameplay is engaging (once you get past the initial bugs), and the world is breathtakingly detailed. It's definitely worth checking out – once it's a bit more polished.

So, there you have it – my slightly salty, but hopefully helpful, take on some of the initial Stalker 2 tester criticisms. Remember to manage your expectations, adjust your settings accordingly, and remember to breathe! You'll get through it.
