is the ultimate edition worth it?

[KingGhostie]

Trying to decide if I should get the base game, or upgrade to the ultimate edition for the season pass. What is everyone's thoughts on the season pass? I have never played the stalker games,but it has a fallout vibe to it so wanted to get the game.

So it is, and it isn't, here's the thing IF they fix everything by the time DLCs and stuff roll around it might be worth it, however you can just upgrade to it then, like there's no real reason to get it yet, because right now the game is a mess.

Go with Deluxe. You want the campfire tales and jokes. The gear is unique and pretty good but you'll have to chase it down across the map.

I actually got the gear, and it's not great, like its good, but honestly it's not much better than the gear you get anyway, so it's like, I wish it was worth it, but honestly even without it, you woulda still got all that gear by the time you chase it down without the word "monolith" in front of it.

I bought the base game a few days ago, I've spent longer waiting for patches to download and install along with failed shader compilations than I have actually playing the game.

Getting pretty fed up to be honest.

Its quite good once you can actually get to play the game, though I find the NPC interactions stale, robotic and somewhat featureless. The only thing that keeps it interesting is the fight scenarios, though that can get a bit tiring to be honest.

Part of the deal are the dlc/s.
Hard to guess their value already.

If you never played a Stalker game before try Stalker Anomaly (its free, basicly a mod on top of the original game) and see if you like it, if you like it than buy Stalker 2 (ultimate)

Nope. If I had known they would spread out all of the items I would have not bought it.
GSC basically scammed us.
No proper A-LIfe.
No multiplayer
Bad questing
Poor economy
Too much junk loot
Poor optimisation
Too much running/walking
They ruined a lot of the lore from the original series.

So from what I'm hearing the game is still buggy as hell. Is the base game worth it as it is? I do have a decent computer 3070 GPU with 32 ram ryzen 7

K says the man who doesn’t own. No problems here. OP should set a timer on phone to 2 hours and try. Refund before if not a good experience.

Other storefronts exist. If that's your only bad faith "argument", you have no valid point.

Well I'm a big fan of fallout,and haven't gotten a new fallout game in like a decade. This game reminds me a lot of fallout so I'll probably pick up the base copy,and see how I feel about it. If the DLC turn out to be good I'll upgrade later on. I remember when I bought dying light 2 I thought I like those DLC,but when they came out they kinda sucked so I don't wanna do that again. Base game looks good though for 50$.

As you can see OP take the forums lightly and pick who you want to side with. Most that are enjoying probably don’t comment as it’s a bit of a mess. Me, I don’t care and here to enjoy the game.

Or don't side with anyone and watch unedited gameplay to see how broken it is. There are people who criticize and provide feedback and there are those who wish to stifle said criticism and blame your hardware for something that is clearly a case of bad optimization.

If an RTX 4090 paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 32GB of memory can't handle the game, the problem lies with the software.

Use your own discretion, but realize there is a metric ton of white knighting going on here.

And Eldin, what happened to that comment four comments ago being your last? You can't even be honest with yourself, let alone everyone else. Thanks for the award, I guess.

Ehh... If you want Season Pass, I'd say it's worth it. Gear is either sidegrades or reskins. "Strong" DLC stuff is locked to Prypiat which is the endgame point. You honestly can live without all that stuff

[Punisher]

No , this game is barely worth 20$
