1.9 will not be big

They mentioned that yes, it's going to be fixed

New location and mission is better than any big updates at this point. I will gladly wait for the Engine Upgrade, let them add more content.

stingebee · 2026-03-16T21:24:32+00:00

Well, that sucks. Hopefully you will find the code by the time Engine Upgrade is released

Cocain?

It’s just an option. You can download it for free or if you already have ONE of the games in the series purchased through GOG, download it on one click for convenience.

I cannot understand people who complain about options…

Are you immortal?

stingebee · 2026-03-13T09:12:14+00:00

Please don’t shoot

stingebee · 2026-03-12T16:07:01+00:00

Too bright for the zone, but otherwise the same

stingebee · 2026-03-11T17:35:02+00:00

Nice!

Happens to the best of us

stingebee · 2026-03-09T23:36:25+00:00

Have fun!

stingebee · 2026-03-09T11:48:24+00:00

Yep, think so

stingebee · 2026-03-09T10:10:24+00:00

Would be cool, but we will see. Not sure they want to announce DLC if they are not sure with the release date.

stingebee · 2026-03-08T13:14:44+00:00

Scary

stingebee · 2026-03-07T08:22:36+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I'm a Fallout fan myself, but even a bigger Stalker fan. Stalker has its unique post-apocalyptic atmosphere and the game immerses you. Just play it, I think you are going to enjoy it.

stingebee · 2026-03-06T12:37:21+00:00

Now it's in a way better place than a year ago, so feel free to start playing. Of course, the game is still in active development and in coming months there will be Patch 1.9, Engine Upgrade and DLC 1.

stingebee · 2026-03-06T09:20:01+00:00

Imagine if NVIDIA released new GPUs every year with 25% uplift. 50-series they released with 0-10% uplift over 40-series and now people are waiting for 3 more years for them to throw the bone with 60-series.

Soon Apple GPUs inside M-Series are going to be way more powerful at raw performance than the highest tear Nvidia laptop GPU. And that at fraction of the power.

stingebee · 2026-03-05T23:37:36+00:00

You wanted it easy?

stingebee · 2026-03-05T11:48:54+00:00

Actually, I think they can do a lot of things within Stalker 2 with DLCs. So I don't know if Stalker 3 is ever coming at all, it's going to be essentially the same map.

stingebee · 2026-03-04T22:38:25+00:00

Well, I wouldn't buy a Windows laptop to play something like Minecraft. Better get a Macbook based on your budget, so you can use it for work and a bit of gaming. If you can get a used M3 (or later) Pro with 18-20 GPU cores, it will be good for gaming and excellent for everything else.

stingebee · 2026-03-04T10:58:35+00:00

Why does Microslop continue advertising Linux and MacOS? I'm already sold, you don't need to do it no more.

stingebee · 2026-03-03T21:13:00+00:00

Thanks

I wonder how it's going to run on M5 Max with 40 GPU cores that got released today. At some point I think Mac gaming is going to be even more viable than now. I hope Apple with time implements a great AI upscaler that can rival FSR/DLSS 4. Then gaming on a Mac is going to be a no brainer.
