150gb that’s big….
for you
” NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060″
MINIMUM
Wtf? Who is gonna play this? Cheeki breekis cant afford good pcs.
That’s why STALKER original with all its million mods, and many standalones are not going away anytime soon!
Wow those are steep requirements
For real, this game will push my PC to its limits! I’m right at the rec specs, but luckily have 32GB of RAM so that should give me a bit of breathing room.
?? A 1060 for minimum is steep? But even the recommended specs are not THAT high, otherwise they would recommend a 3000 series card. I personally would not go less than recommended spec if it was me if it’s a game i want to play. Each to their own though.
Maybe I’m seeing these kinds of comments because of the current silly pricing on GPUs, i managed to get a 3080 TUF for £650 so maybe that’s why i don’t see it the same as most others.
Lucky you im still stuck with a 1080 and the current prices and availability of newer gpu’s makes it a no go for an upgrade for the time being, and as for the cpu im on a 9700k and seeing the 9700k already on recommended does not bode well for my pc.
As for ram 32gb and storage i have a lot of space on ssd’s and a nvme ssd so there im good.
1080 is still a beast, if there is no need why spend for gpu upgrade
for 1440p 144hz its starting to show its age
1060 is an entry level card two generations ago. It should be the minimum spec for most games nowadays if you ask me. I managed to get a 3080 xtreme. When consoles refresh you should be refreshing your graphics card also and if consoles are performing the equivalent of around a 2070 PC gamers should at least match that or have a 3060, otherwise they may as well grab a console IMO.
Steep? RX 5700 XT in recommended is 50% slower than current consoles. This is 2 years old GPU
I thought this was by far the most technically impressive and immersive game at E3. glad we finally got a release date as well. Loved the atmosphere of the first game but couldn’t get into it. Don’t think ill have the same issue with this one provided they stick the landing.
This looks like a fantastic base to build on for moders to be fair. Looks good all around.
Wonder how badly they’ll butcher the RPG parts of the game.
Voiced Main Protagonist already limits the game pretty badly.
Stalker wasn’t really know for non linearity and rpg choices, they will butcher a nonexistant part of the game.
But as we can see they already butchered the AI, and they will probably butcher the difficulty and the survival mechanics so the Xbox normie can enjoy the game but we’ll not act like we didn’t see that coming from miles
Yes stalker was know for difficulty and AI, the survival mechanics where barebones and only got decent with mods (if you like these mechanics).
Well you have to manage inventory weight, radiation, hunger, weapon and armor integrity and obviously stamina, ammo and health and finally you can bleed from taking damage which requires using bandages… This is not what i call barebones, especially back then, even survival-horror games didn’t have so much things to manage.
Mods mostly try to balance or make survival mechanics more important but the vanilla games already have all these and are not just gimmicks, especially in Master difficulty which is the only genuine STALKER experience if you ask me
Aside from weight and maybe radiation, the rest of those things are trivial in vanilla.
Well a damaged weapon gets jammed more often, a damaged armor becomes less efficient, bleeding can literally kill you and hunger decreases stamina
All of those things becomes trivial a few hours in, you will have an weapons arsenal, money to afford armor repairs, artifacts that prevent bleeding (which can also decrease by just applying medkits) and plenty of food and bandages lying around.
That’s the thing i guess, the more you progress in the game the less you suffer, having more solutions halfway through the game is something completely normal
which is why only weight and gunfights are the real survival mechanics since you can’t haul all the loot and even the exosqueleton is bad because you can’t sprint while equipping the armor.
Nothing’s perfect i guess, it has been like that since the big bang, heavy armor limits movement lol
Having survival mechanics relevant for just the first half makes sens in a plot perspective, you’re supposed to be “somehow” a stranger to The Zone trying to survive and by the end you mastered the game and you’re not really surviving anymore
it was a bit.
Ryzen 3700X
RTX 2070 SUPER
16 GB RAM
150 GB Storage
I wonder if the recommended reqs include raytracing in the formula (given this is a UE4 game, i wouldnt be shock if they introduce some of that). Altho, there’s a RTX and GTX card in the list, so dunno.
Then add the possible DLSS implementation and the reqs read as bloated. Well, they usually are anyways.
Lovely, should run pretty well and also look very good on consoles then
150gb? holysht..
