    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Nothing like a fictional world to escape into when real life sucks.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I feel like calling cap on "well they have been developing in a warzone" (because since they dev team moved to Czech Republic early in the war, that hasn't actually been true)... But since it's probably mostly disappointment talking, I will try not to be a bitch and just say I hope it's worth...

    SAM gone after 5800X3D upgrade and DRAM OC on x570?

    I've been on f38g since it was released last fall. It was for the 1.2.0.B AGESA. I had the "Resizable BAR not working" issue with the past few beta bioses (anything with a letter after the number is beta as I understand it) and went through the same rigmarole as you trying to get it to work. I...

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd

    I love the presentation but I was hoping to see a bit more investigating (and horror...) Might hold off until I can find out whether you do more in this game than hit stuff.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Amen. Were the previous trailers even actual gameplay, or just scripted "in engine" renders? If I had the blood pressure to spare, I'd probably be more upset about how buggy the demo reportedly was, and how that bodes for the final game...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I don't want to contemplate 2025 but I don't expect this game in the first 3 months of 2024, honestly. Games releases don't miss out on the holiday sales rush lightly. On the bright side, maybe developers are finally learning a quick buck isn't worth the PR nightmare of hurrying a buggy mess...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Could this be the start of the long-rumored "media blitz 4 months before release" I remember GSC talking about , way back in the before-times?

    AMD RMA - Is someone at AMD running a scam of some kind?

    That's the charitable interpretation. The uncharitable interpretation is they are intentionally giving paying customers the runaround because a certain percentage of people will grow frustrated, give up, and save them the cost of replacing the faulty product. I've never not got a warranty...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I'm not clear whether this is a "new" hack or a continuation of the previous one. At any rate it doesn't seem to have hampered GSC's progress in any major way. I'm sure every good Stalker will be patient and resist the temptation...

    7800X3D will be an utter failure of a CPU

    I thought the 5800x3d proved more cache is more broadly beneficial over more games than the extra clock you're foregoing (e.g. compared to the 5800x)? Techspot comparison I think as long as the clock speed penalty isn't too great (and it doesn't seem to be) the bigger issue is probably the...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I wouldn't "assume" it, but if you know anything about the STALKER fanbase, you'd realize it's a pretty safe bet. Just check out STALCRAFT or the reams of original trilogy mods to see who is developing and playing them. But to be charitable, the toxic entitlement of some "fans" on the internet...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    The saga of this game is going to make one hell of a documentary when it finally comes out.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    Yep. Those grey overcast skies with that low angle autumn/winter light are peak STALKER ambience to me. Don't mind if the weather changes (actually I'm looking forward to dynamic weather) but it won't feel like the Zone without some bleakness.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl

    I mean, their largest market is predominantly english speaking, so english voiceovers in a trailer make sense from a marketing perspective. I'm sure there will be ample localization options to satisfy purists. Agree with you about the overall look. The cinematography looks more "blockbuster...
