The long announced update to Stalker 2, called Stalker 2.0 has just dropped and... it is huge. No, I don’t mean it’s so good, it is literally huge.
If you have downloaded the initial 150 GB of Stalker 2, you already are familiar with the vast space the game requires. If you went through the list of updates, each 10-15 GB in size, you already know why Stalker 2 was the first download simulator in the world.
Now, almost 2 years from the premiere, the big update and DLC was published, which supposedly fixes all the problems that the game had (although we heard it before with every single of the previous patches), it updates the game engine and adds some new elements. The size of the update? Just slightly above 130 GB.
Oh yeah, and of course there are reports that the update is crashing the game. And the DLC is not really available... Oh, well, sh*t happens, I guess.

Sam Altman lied... again
Sam Altman, your favourite CEO of OpenAI, lied again. In other news, bears apparently do defecate mainly in the forested areas.
How Cyberpunk 2077 made history and what you should learn from it
Cyberpunk 2077, new game from CD Projekt Red studio, premiered on 10th December 2020 and, just like rest of the year 2020, it was a painful experience. Although after about 8 years in production developers made history, I don’t think that was the way they wanted to do it.
