What is broken??? I played almost 10 hours and didn't see anything broken.

For instance, the system A-Life 2.0 dont work as intended, this has been confirmed by the developers, they are looking into a fix as we speak. This feature is extremely important for the franchise, it has been always present in every single game and it makes the world around you alive. Look for more information online if you are interested

Apart from that, the game is extremely buggy in many ways have you read the reviews? controller support is atrocious as well, its not well implemented at all and in fact many users cant even play with a controller on pc because it doesn't detect it

The game was simply not ready for release. I understand their situation and they have my support because of the war and how bad things are there, which is why I supported them by buying the game, that being said there is no excuse for the game to be in this state. If they needed more time then so be it, but this wasn't ready and it shows. Hell there isn't even cast shadows when using a flashlight, something that the first stalker was able to do in 2007

Whoever denies this is just in denial or in honeymoon phase. I am not saying the game is unplayable and you cannot enjoy, but the product isn't finished objectively speaking

A-life 2.0 may be not working as intended but it is still there, no not broken.

Controller works without issue here.

The only significant bug I saw was some rare enemies "stuck" in the environment that only reacted after a shot.

I partially agree with you: there are issues with the game, and this is why personally I'm waiting a few patches to continue playing.

But one thing is clear: the core of the game is there, and they nailed it. They did not compromise on the STALKER experience. This is why many people are enjoying the game even if there are quite a few issues.

Somewhat dumb post since we cannot know what sales would be like if the game was not there. But rationally, it is quite likely they would be higher.

I say that as a longterm (2018-2027) gamepass subscriber.

I agree, and the post was mostly a jab to the regular suspects who always scream that games can't sell when they're on game pass.

I do think that 1 million sales is a great number for this game. Would it be higher without game pass? Probably. Would it make more money? Who knows. No one knows the deal behind this.

This claps have more frames x second that the actual game.

Stalker 2 is an fps shooter... and no... I don't mean a first person shooter shooter

I'm really excited for them. Having a great time with it on PC. Can't wait to see what they do with it in the future.

You know maths. I'm impressed. MS doesn't have 1 billion game pass subscriptions on PC. Who would've known.

Fact is still, that this game is selling very well, despite being available on GP day one. Must hurt, right?

Sequels are going to sell and it got carried by PC gamers. Are you trying to say CoD bombed because its on GP day one?

Your original post is gamepass ruined sales. And facts show that it does on xbox.

That’s because it’s GOTY material* 😎

Screw Jeff’s little awards for DLCs, this shit is the most engrossing thing I’ve played all year long.

*if you’re as lucky as me and things work surprisingly well
