Good game, crawling with bugs!

I enjoyed this game after tweaking a few visual settings to make it smoother. I have a decent rig, but this game does not seem to be thoroughly optimized. I would suggest decreasing grass density and shadows. The environments are visually pleasing, but a little drab, though it would probably look drab after what happened in the story. But the bugs drove me insane. So many crashes. So many restarts! And after about 10 hours of saves, installed latest patch, only to have my saves unable to load. That was 10 hours of living, not counting the many hours of replaying missions because of dying. I even did a restore on my PC, but to no avail. Why do they release games WAY TOO EARLY??? This same thing happened with the original Stalker. If there were not all these bugs, I would probably have given this game an 8. I will think twice if they make a third Stalker.
