[obtuse agate]

Observing current surrounding events and pointing them out is not judgement, my dude

[last saddle]

second time ive seen you talk religion. the last time you scolded someone for not believing

[obtuse agate]

It is scary how quickly everyone turned the second I mentioned God...

[maiden grotto]

Can you save Uncle from Zalyssia?

[last saddle]

just leave it alone

[obtuse agate]

Oh really? I did?

[vernal lily]

Bro this is a stalker server, go talk about it in dms if you are so willing to continue.

[last saddle]

dude your memory is shot

[obtuse agate]

Then ignore it and shut up. You don't have to talk to me

[vernal lily]

Seeing you talk here when I'm and everyone else trying to talk about game related shit is bothering me so I kindly ask you to drop the subject.

[obtuse agate]

Could be. It'd be great to find it

[last saddle]

i dont think you can

[last saddle]

i like you for the most part man. just dont get why you like conflict

[obtuse agate]

You can still talk stalker. I don't understand how my messages are bothering you

[vernal lily]

I don't think you can save him

[last saddle]

or controversial topics w.e it is

[obtuse agate]

God is controversial? If you scroll through the entire chat. You will notice that I Have barely said anything about God. Most of the conversation is people telling me to shut up.

[maiden grotto]

That sucks... I like Zalyssia before SIRCAA, now it just sucks balls

[vernal lily]

Same lol

[last saddle]

i have my beliefs. but it usually does cause drama. im sure you are aware of that

[maiden grotto]

That is because it is devise topic and has no place here.

[obtuse agate]

It is divisive only when we make it so

[maiden grotto]

Even the subject p*ss me off so much, as I hate all religions... They have no place in teh modern world.

But even I do not want that debate here...

I just want to laugh and joke, and take the mickey out of ward and freedom...

[last saddle]

especially when you start it off by saying
Shushkin — Today at 9:16 PM
At this point I am certain that politics has become God in America
[9:17 PM]
People really worship politics there

[obtuse agate]

Oh yeah, because it's true

[last saddle]

...

talk about blind

[obtuse agate]

You may ask questions if you wish

I'll try and answer them the best to my abilities.

I'd certainly be curious after somebody made a statement like that

[last saddle]

the world has issues. thats about all there is to say on it

[vernal lily]

Maybe I'll get out of the Lesser Zone asap but explore afterwards, enjoyed doing that. Honestly don't know what I plan on doing with this 2nd playthrough after losing that first one. Lowkey just want to get to the end (mostly because it's where I left off).

[obtuse agate]

Man, why did you call me blind then? 😄

[last saddle]

go and read why

it was also me commenting on you calling someone else blind

[lime nest]

Is this place usually toxic?

[last saddle]

nah its just shushkin being shushkin

[vernal lily]

Usually it's chaotic good, not always like this

[lime nest]

Talking about a muskrat I am

[obtuse agate]

I know your reasons for calling me blind.

[last saddle]

so you asked for what reason

[obtuse agate]

Because you have not asked me how I came to my conclusion of politics replacing God in the states

[last saddle]

because its just something thats gonna go nowhere and id rather not

thats just a crazy thing to say in all honesty. regardless of what made you come to that conclusion. judging an entire nation

of off most likely stupid videos you see on the internet

[obtuse agate]

How can you know that?

[vernal lily]

Mostly just a minor bother, but wish Skif didn't look like he was just throwing bodies back down when you let them go.

[last saddle]

call it an educated guess

[obtuse agate]

How do you know that?

[last saddle]

[obtuse agate]

Crazy does not equal untrue. Nor does it equal unfounded.

[last saddle]

so join a political discord and talk about it

[vernal lily]

Holy crap just stfu already

[obtuse agate]

Interesting assumption, but I'm the blind one 😄
Nah I am in many ways

[maiden grotto]

There is a 2nd Monolith attack on Zalyssia... Had some defenders this time... A couple in EXO armour... only one died... so happy about that... but man...

I have about 40 weapons to sell now 😄

[obtuse agate]

Why would I do that?

[maiden grotto]

Gonna be a rich boy 😄

[last saddle]

so you can get someone to debate cause thats what youre looking for

this is a channel for gaming i think

[frigid hill]

.fret has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[last saddle]

we bs too but man cmon...

[maiden grotto]

Please stop... it's beginning to piss me off now.

[obtuse agate]

I thought our multiple lenghty discussions about various topics had showed that I do not look to argue

[last saddle]

you do tho

[obtuse agate]

This whole time I've been on the defensive

[last saddle]

thats not normal. just chill

[obtuse agate]

Sure thing. One condition however

[maiden grotto]

NO CONDITIONS JUST F^CKING STOP ALREADY

OR F^CK OFF

[obtuse agate]

You've been making many baseless assumptions about me and presenting that as fact. You also made statements about my motives. I ask you not to be so disingenuous to anybody in the future as you were with me.

[maiden grotto]

Just talk about beer or something

[last saddle]

so then dont point a finger at an entire nation of people

[obtuse agate]

It is only a request

[last saddle]

im an individual

[obtuse agate]

If I'm wrong. You can tell me how

[last saddle]

youre wrong for discussing it here

[obtuse agate]

A discussion never took place

[last saddle]

because why?

[maiden grotto]

Sorry but you are being an absolute cnt here tonight... talk about something else of fck off

[last saddle]

you know why dude. stop already

[maiden grotto]

Talk about beer or whatever... just drop the whole fecking sh^t right now

[obtuse agate]

Well, If my initial statement wasn't incorrect

[last saddle]

wow

[maiden grotto]

I don't give a sh^t....

No one wants to talk or here about religion here.... Pick another subject and just drop it... Talke about your nation foods and drink or something.

Just stop

[sturdy verge]

Hi

[obtuse agate]

Mate, you tell not to point at an entire nation. I ask if my statement was wrong

[maiden grotto]

Hellloooooooooo

[sturdy verge]

It's 3am I'm debating if i want 3am munchies

Some yummy monster munch

[vernal lily]

Go for it

[last saddle]

i said earlier the world has issues and theres nothing more to say about it

[obtuse agate]

That says nothing tho

[last saddle]

so be it then

[maiden grotto]

I'm debating with my self if I want to toe punt Agatha like a rugby ball 😄

[obtuse agate]

Alright

[sturdy verge]

Lemme grab her ciggie first 😂

[maiden grotto]

By all means... it will help with the flight 😄

[obtuse agate]

@last saddle People normally don't get so worked up over a lie tho...

[last saddle]

its the point of you nagging man

its annoying af

you were asked by multiple ppl to stop

[maiden grotto]

Lens has a twin brother called Lens 😄

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!! I have some life back in Zalyssia... Okay, not as much as before, but at least some 😄

[last saddle]

lol hell yeah

[maiden grotto]

So I get an emission during the the Sphere assault by Monolith... guys casually standing around like it means nothing...

Immersion breaking really, both sides would run for cover, sometimes fighting over the same place.

[last saddle]

that happened during my playthrough as well. i had to reload it cause after the emission they all stood around eachother doing nothing. no fighting or anything

and all doors were locked after i left and tried to re enter

[maiden grotto]

hahahaha.... this game really does suck balls sometimes

[last saddle]

yeah pain in the ass. after i reloaded tho the emission never even happened

[maiden grotto]

Emission keeps coming back on mine... just gonna what a Zalyssia and see it out.

[last saddle]

yeah best bet

[maiden grotto]

Yay!! I ot a night star 😄

[last saddle]

[maiden grotto]

cant take it.... if you sleep, the mission at Sphere fecks up

[last saddle]

lol cant catch a break

[maiden grotto]

so I am stuck with an emission sphere

F*ck my life, this game is just so much BS

[last saddle]

the emission doesnt happen if you just wait at a different spot without sleeping?

[quiet rock]

I was walking on water. It s all real.

there is no explanation to that. Scar ending is real

looks like nowhere in the discord debunks this.

[fickle cosmos]

past your bedtime ey?

[maiden grotto]

solder is bugged now.... he is just stuck on the sand bags... how do you rescue the c^nt... Fecking bug after bug after bug

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

and now, another emission 🤣

[last saddle]

that quest actually messed up for me. what helped to make it go smooth was to wait for the radio coversation to end then kill the 2 gaurds. he thanks you afterwards and then stands in that spot

hes not supposed to aimlessly walk around like that

[maiden grotto]

Yeah, he did that... then you can talk to him again, and he gives you a key to turn the power off 😄

[last saddle]

yeah but the blue marker didnt go away til i did in in that order. just wait for the radio call to end before you go in shooting. its stupid i know

[maiden grotto]

then he ends up some teleporting in front of you and getting shot, you do everything first, to keep him alive and talk to him again 😄

It an orange marker for me 😄

[last saddle]

lmao

[maiden grotto]

this game is FUBAR

[last saddle]

actually yeah it was orange cause its a main quest

although optional i reloaded til it was done lol

dont think it made a real difference anyway cause i never saw him again. maybe a dlc or something

[maiden grotto]

so I ran away from him... to see if he reset... Emission came.... Now I am playing "where's Solder" in his red and white striped jumper....

FECK THIS GAME 🤣

[last saddle]

yeah i ran circles for a bit looking for his ass too

when i did it after the radio call i did get an emission. went back to check on him when it was over and he was just still standing by the window chillin lol

[fickle cosmos]

i just found the liquid rock111111111111111 :3

[maiden grotto]

Found him... Emission killed him, game bugged, need to go all the way back to Zalyssia and do it all again...

Feck this BS...

[maiden grotto]

Congrats, it's a game changer 😄

[last saddle]

yeah that sucks

[fickle cosmos]

rock hard to find, garbage had rock

[maiden grotto]

3/10 game... To many bugs, broken mechanics, and far to much locked behind a god awful story with plot holes so big a super nova after ta 1000 years of expansion, couldn't even reach the sides...

But I have faith the Dev's will sort this out.

This patch is gonna be good, I can feel it in my bones...

[last saddle]

yeah such a shame really. games really solid and the map layout is just a 10 but all the bugs it has caused ppl to review bomb it and you cant blame em

[maiden grotto]

It's stunning beautiful at times. Some of the characters are great... The map... amazing...

But it is devoid of so much...

But that is enough for me, I need my sleep... About a decades worth 😄

[crystal beacon]

Hey just wondering, i know there is a patch aimed for this week. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this patch will be only focused on story quest patches, or focused on A-Life and performance as well?

[last saddle]

supposed to address a number of issues. unsure if a life will be what we expect but i guess we will find out

[fickle cosmos]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEE!!!!

[crystal beacon]

Aye I guess I'm just hoping it isn't going to be a tiny update but we'll see like you said.

[last saddle]

nah its supposed to be big just not sure about what exactly itll be fixing

[fickle cosmos]

fix my rostok crashing

[last saddle]

lol yeah w.e they did last time helped but it still does crash here and there for sure

usually sprinting seemed to cause it this time around but unsure if that was just what it seemed. when it did crash i did notice my memory at 99%. i just try going there sell all my shit real quick and leave

spend little time as possible there. i was surprised to get through the arena without any crashes

also spam save after anything you do there this way if it does crash you can at least reload and not have to redo it all over

[fringe summit]

When will multiplayer be added ?

[fickle cosmos]

nevaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[topaz barn]

guys despite me asking heaps of times for someone to buy me 4060, i got one myself and i plugged it in 🤯 . mega upgrade from 1660 ti. nightmare to run stalker 2 on

shaders are compiling 😛

[fickle cosmos]

boom

game go boom boom

[crystal granite]

For the amount of time it takes them, and the amount of issues present, it better be a large one

[crystal beacon]

Aye I agree, but they have said they have a lot more planned for the game now seen as it was more successful than they expected. Hence the new road map they are making, which also means that the game must be a top priority to have it fixed and working well if they want to have expansions for the game. Just hoping it's not going to take as long as cyberpunk and a year away

[gloomy citrus]

What does black sphere anomaly near Malachite actually do? Never seen people talking about it.

Theres an electric anomalous field right beside Malachite where I found a Thunderberry. That was nice.

[wintry pumice]

pee all the time

[gloomy citrus]

What?

[wintry pumice]

It drips water into the pond

[gloomy citrus]

Right...

Guess it does nothing other than being radioactive and drips water into the pond.

[hardy totem]

Decoration

[vapid galleon]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/524231625039413249 is this the anomaly you're talking about, right? @gloomy citrus

I'm still wondering what it does. I guess it's an endless source of water

but with radiation :/

[gloomy citrus]

Yeah

[woeful spade]

So basicaly Ward ending is a Duty victory💪

[vapid galleon]

nope

[woeful spade]

Yes

[vapid galleon]

Is the end of Spark the end of Freedom? No

its the same

[woeful spade]

Zone is detroyed by Ward, that was the original goal for Duty

[vapid galleon]

But Duty didn't destroy, Ward did. So Ward is in control. Duty wanted to control and destroy the Zone, now Ward has controlled and destroyed it. So, yes, Duty got what it wanted, but this does not mean the end of Duty

Duty got what they wanted, but they didn't take control of the Zone

[woeful spade]

Duty wanted to destroy the zone not control it

[vapid galleon]

Yes! Duty got what Duty wanted and achieved his goal, but Duty didn't do it, so it's not Duty ending, it's Ward ending

[woeful spade]

Never said it was Duty ending

[vapid galleon]

?

[woeful spade]

Victory not ending

[vapid galleon]

:D

[woeful spade]

Duty got what they wanted

[vapid galleon]

Actually, this doesn't mean Duty wins at the end of the day, dude. Ward neutralized them both and had his way

[woeful spade]

So as the zone is gone Freedom will be gone, Duty mission is finaly over and they can go back to their lives at continent.

[vapid galleon]

For example, what happened to the Monolith? It is now under Ward's command. Duty didn't want this

[vapid galleon]

Both Duty and Fredom are destroyed. This is what I'm trying to say

Imagine you are a soldier, your country is winning but you are dead

[woeful spade]

I doubt it, at the end of game Ward is rather heavily damaged. I doubt they have a chance to neutralize Duty

Duty is still alive at cement factory

Also I doubt they know about monolith being under control of Ward

Duty either will leave the Zone now since they fullfiled their mission

Or join Ward

[vapid galleon]

I think Ward destroyed the Zone and everything inside it. But why did they brainwash Skif instead of giving him what he wanted? I still wonder about this, 1 house shouldn't be expensive for them

[woeful spade]

I'm thinking HOW they have control over skiff

[vapid galleon]

(that smile emoji by mistake)

[vapid galleon]

same for me

[woeful spade]

When Skiff become brainwashed?

[vapid galleon]

I wonder this too

[woeful spade]

Also Strelok fight was so anti climatic

[vapid galleon]

I don't think Freedom or Duty returned to the mainland intact

[woeful spade]

Especialy since Duty are military deserters

[vapid galleon]

I didn't like any of the boss fights at the end

[woeful spade]

He just appeared out of nowhere and 3 shots with Gauss riffle and dead

[woeful spade]

They were too easy...beside Granit squad

[vapid galleon]

yes

The Granit team was the part of the game that I found most annoying and ridiculous

[woeful spade]

After 10 attempts I just said f it and killed a bunch then run through a door

[vapid galleon]

It's just get shot and press medkit. And of course, except for the extreme rage by your aim slipping while taking damage and constantly missing sniper bullets

[woeful spade]

6 gauss snipers

[storm reef]

Am I the only person that wished the mosin or dvl.10 was in the game lol

[woeful spade]

All aimbot

[vapid galleon]

and they will kill you in one shot

[woeful spade]

When all 6 suddenly shoot you? WELL YEA

I'm gonna do now Strelok ending and Kaymanov. I hope I still have that malachit save file somewhere

[vapid galleon]

There are so many things that need to be in the game that I could make a long list here

[woeful spade]

Add enemy variants, stop with all of them being in exosuits IT'S BORING

[vapid galleon]

Yes, it would be nice for you if you do these endings before you get spoilers

[storm reef]

Stalker gamma gun Smith would be crazy in stalker 2 lol

[woeful spade]

After 85 hours I reached only one ending

[vapid galleon]

I 115 hours

[vapid galleon]

We neeeddd

[storm reef]

Ik having to get gun parts and stuff to clean ur weapons and having to mack gun repair kits at this point just give us stalker 2 gamma lol

[zealous goblet]

i was enjoying stalker 2 quite a bit during first launch and had to take a break due to bugs. in that time i played fall out new vegas and when i came back to the game it really brought out all the flaws in stalker 2. There has been so few open world shooters that i thought this game was great. It still needs alot of work and i am happy it is out there but in no way does it out shine any of the fallout games. maybe STALKER 3 has a chance but this one is not it.

that is all

[hollow lichen]

I’ve been off for awhile, what have I missed?

[hollow lichen]

It doesn’t need fallout mechanics to be better or more complete game. Not sure what you even mean by that? 🤣 STALKER 2 and its predecessor’s have always been different than Fallout.

[sleek tartan]

When do yall think we'll get next update? Thursday maybe?

[cobalt fiber]

Fallout and Stalker are two different games completely

I feel like I've just read some parodic comedy

[vapid galleon]

Stalker always better than Fallout, always. Trilogy or 2, doesnt matter

[vapid galleon]

yeah, dont need to be compared, I don't understand why people are comparing these 2 series

[cobalt fiber]

New Vegas is in my top 5 but no chance can you draw a real comparison

Great game though

4 was a let down

76 we don't even talk about

[tidal igloo]

new patch is here?

[cobalt fiber]

No

[charred nova]

Come back next week maybe for new patch

[tidal igloo]

thx

[cobalt fiber]

Really flexing that insider knowledge now

[serene parrot]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[tidal igloo]

i have some bug with private stash on Rostok hope next patch fix it

[charred nova]

Shhhh

I’m trying to do insider trading

[cobalt fiber]

🤝

[sturdy verge]

with those 1 pound margaritas

[indigo oriole]

u wish xD

[charred nova]

Yah more realistically end of the month

[sturdy verge]

then next week you are told to come back next week 😄

[charred nova]

Yup

It’s like one of those indie games on kickstarter

[indigo oriole]

Maybe it’s more like next Year. This game should be released next year

[charred nova]

I mean I agree

But the community would have not been willing to wait

Games release date was revealed too early

[cobalt fiber]

Ah yes. Patch out to stop the game at pre title screen and pull the release

Re release in Feb 2025

[charred nova]

Re release in like July

Then it might have been goty material lol

[cobalt fiber]

Also be like £20/$20 more expensive if the GTA 6 and domino effect rumours are to be believed

[charred nova]

Don’t remind me

Not even buying that shit since it’s not on pc

Mfs really think I’m gonna buy another stupid box to play there game

Yah right

[cobalt fiber]

It's all a big money move every time

[charred nova]

The sooner consoles die the better

[cobalt fiber]

Release on console near end of gen
Release on PC a year later
Release next gen

This gen of consoles is defo out the door soon

[charred nova]

I mean tbh

[cobalt fiber]

Next xbox is meant to have steam integration which begs the question of why buy an Xbox at that point

[charred nova]

Xbox might be done

Microsoft says they plan to release Xbox titles on PlayStation

Which is basically the end for Xbox

[cobalt fiber]

The way they'll get around it is limited exclusivity

6/12 month exclusives

People will still pay instead of waiting

[charred nova]

Yah but only PlayStation even does this Xbox drops everything on pc day one

[sturdy verge]

😂 😂 😂

[charred nova]

Why would a buy a 500 dollar box to play the exact games I can play on my pc

[vapid galleon]

:D 👍

consoles are bulls*it

[maiden grotto]

Only a mug would buy a game for £100

[lyric kayak]

Lots of marketable reasons, mostly convenience

[charred nova]

How is it more convenient

[sturdy moat]

I work at the same desk that has my gaming PC. I don't always want to sit there

[charred nova]

Opening steam isn’t exactly hard

Just run an hdmi cable to your tv and plug in a controller

[sturdy moat]

Actually yeah I have thought of doing that too.

[charred nova]

It’s the same thing

Xbox controllers literally link up to windows perfectly

With no extra software needed

Plus they make hdmi cables up to like 70 feet long now

[wintry pumice]

You don't need cables in the shining zone

[charred nova]

True

Use wireless cables

Become based

[storm token]

well stalker 2 died quick HAHAHAHA

[charred nova]

[wintry pumice]

[charred nova]

It’s a single player game

People play it

Then move on

[storm token]

30-Day Avg. 8750

[wintry pumice]

The other reason is bugs

[charred nova]

Again it’s a single player game

[storm token]

No promised mod support

[wintry pumice]

Which was released 3 months early

[wintry pumice]

It's there but no timeline

[charred nova]

I mean if you want to go shit on a dead game go shit on Battlebit lol

14 months since last update

[storm token]

u mean battlefield or bit?

[charred nova]

Battlebit

It peaked at 80k players

Was bigger than battlefield

[storm token]

i rather shit on EA's big head

[charred nova]

Then the devs just vanished

[storm token]

sad

[charred nova]

It was trust me

That game was amazing

[wintry pumice]

They were kidnapped by the CIA

[storm token]

had BIG potential

[charred nova]

They got kidnapped by delaying the update and constant feature creep

Until it was 14 months on

And still no update

[cedar panther]

How can deadzones on controller still be a problem . i thought they fixed that

[charred nova]

The game is trying to tell you something

[cedar panther]

probably 😂😂

[charred nova]

But honestly Battlebit is a modern Greek tragedy

[cedar panther]

i hqve a brand new elite series 2 and somehow skiff is moving al over the place and im not even touching it

[storm token]

u can use your controller setting in xbox to fix the issue

i cant remember what it was called

[cedar panther]

Can't apply any deadzones to it

[storm token]

dont play on the good old box

[storm token]

realy? i thout that it was possible

[cedar panther]

You can tune the responsiveness but not apply deadzones

[storm token]

damn

[cedar panther]

also tried nailing down the sensitivity in game but it makes aiming horrible 😅

[storm token]

Well, either you have to wait for mod support or for them to finally fix the problem.

GSC needs more transparency and open communication with their fans

It's lacking in every aspect.

[cobalt fiber]

Discord members that you only hear from pre release/dlc/post update are nowhere to be seen rn

[maiden grotto]

For sure

[charred nova]

Well it’s not a multiplayer game to be fair

The community won’t be waiting with baited breath

[maiden grotto]

Wasted hours of my life last night trying to do sphere...

Bug after bug, after bug...

The games a fecking mess...

Numbers will suffer

[charred nova]

Billions must bug

[sturdy verge]

So melodramatic lol

[wintry pumice]

Sodler didn't even acknowledge ne during that quest, just kept puffing

[sturdy verge]

Puffing some good stuff then

[maiden grotto]

And I have to do it all again... because Solder fecking bugged out.

Joke

[charred nova]

Solder is just a sigma

[wintry pumice]

Reloading 3 times to make sure Strelok doesn't merge with the wall is simply euphoric

[maiden grotto]

Don't care what you think it is...

The games a fecking mess...

This is my 2nd play through, because the first one is a mess...

The devs will need to get out right... if it means more weeks...

Bit my patience has gone for this bugged clusterfuck

[charred nova]

Just come back in 4 months

Idk what to tell you we don’t live in the reality where stalker 2 came out July 2025 and was perfect

[maiden grotto]

You wins give me £60 for my purchase, to refund my wasted time...

[wintry pumice]

But in the shining zone everything is possible

[charred nova]

Don’t think I will but

If your not happy just stop playing

We can scream and complain till we’re blue in the face

Won’t make the game get fixed faster

[wintry pumice]

Tell that to Korshunov

[charred nova]

Real

[maiden grotto]

Then don't tell to come back in 4 months when I paid 60 to pay the game now...

I'm not a fecking investor.

And whilst I am willing to give the device time, because lovely guys with a lot of passion...

I will a say my peace every day so they understand what the have to get right...

And if that includes me b1tching about eating hours of v my life so be it.

But I will come back on 4 months if you give me my 60 quid back

[charred nova]

What else can I tell you

Nothing I can say would make you happy so

Would you rather I just said get fucked chud should have waited

Also you complaining has zero effect on how fast the updates come

Your not giving any criticism that hasn’t already been made by 250 other people before you

[maiden grotto]

Say nothing... it's that simple

Just don't tell people to come back in 4 months

[maiden grotto]

Like I said... I would rather wait more weeks if it helps

[charred nova]

I say this because I’m being honest

If people want to start the game and have a great experience

Come back in 4 months makes sense

In 4 months game will be far better off than it is today

[violet zodiac]

The modern gaming industry. It's getting worse 🤣

[maiden grotto]

For new players, but for people who have played already...

The entire experience is ruined.

Is not an option that save anything...

And I still play it, because when the game does behave you can watch the sun set and chill

[cerulean sequoia]

Everything's great till the sphere eh

[maiden grotto]

No... it's been a fecking nightmare for large chunks lmao

[keen lagoon]

I think the game needs more than July, ngl.

[cerulean sequoia]

Mine worked great until the sphere but I still can't save Zalissya the second time ... Idk maybe I'll come back in a year or something

[maiden grotto]

A-life is the key, that will take months... and they can take a long as they need to get that right.

[maiden grotto]

When you could buy it on sale for £10

[keen lagoon]

Seeing as 95% of alife is stuck on little islands for each zone because of how gsc setup traversal. Idk how good this alife is gonna be all said and done.

That navigation system better be some of the best is all I gotta say to that.

[cobalt fiber]

Yet

[maiden grotto]

It should be amazing o if they get it right

[charred nova]

I think it will be a cheaters paradise tbh

[maiden grotto]

And the worst version... hackers delight

[violet zodiac]

So tired of people asking for multiplayer elements in every singleplayer game.

[keen lagoon]

Yep and if they don't release source for multi-player or ability to host its GG

[charred nova]

Or have active moderation

[keen lagoon]

Moderation won't help. I don't see this being like rust or dayz

[charred nova]

Multiplayer games these days though unless you hire a personal security team

To constantly micro manage the anti cheat

Will be just unplayable

[keen lagoon]

Even with anticheat and a security team. It'll be like every multi-player game.

Except worse.

[charred nova]

Well no

Cus it’s not free

[keen lagoon]

You think that matters is funny ngl

[charred nova]

It matters some amount

Doesn’t solve the problem

[keen lagoon]

[charred nova]

But makes it smaller

If you have to pay 60 bux every time you get banned

That’s a barrier to entry

[maiden grotto]

Completely agree... The multi-play for sure should have been co-op... then balance the multiplayer around that.

[keen lagoon]

Like I said, you don't lose entry to the game with the ban. It won't matter.

[charred nova]

I can’t wait to moderate that

And get doxed week one

[keen lagoon]

Lmao

[charred nova]

I did something similar like 5 years ago

Got doxxed after banning some Russian guy

Very epic

[keen lagoon]

People are cringe

[maiden grotto]

Why am I not surprised

[keen lagoon]

First you gotta cheat, then you gotta take it out on someone doing their roles job. Low of the low.

[charred nova]

Just have active moderators in every server

I’ll be rich

[maiden grotto]

It's the pressure to win... It's people cheat in RL, it's why Russia is banned from the Olympics

[keen lagoon]

Let's hope they have moderation tools

[keen lagoon]

The science behind why people cheat is interesting ngl

[still current]

Moderate what

[keen lagoon]

It's a childhood thing at the end of the day

[charred nova]

The online multiplayer for stalker 2

They should what China does and make it illegal to cheat in video games

[still current]

Hehe got hack attempts from Russia too bro forgot to turn on his VPN at least

[charred nova]

Penalty is 10 years in prison

[maiden grotto]

It will help, but it's not going to stop it...

On CS 1.6 on the old UK2 Servers, they used to come back using VPN and just ruin servers, becaue they got cheating and they thought it was unfair...

Anything that involves PvP, will turn toxic an nasty and the Devs will be dealing with a million complaints that it's all unfair yadda yadda

[charred nova]

Or actually no your just executed

You got caught cheating on counter strike

[maiden grotto]

not me, other people

[keen lagoon]

Lmaooo

[charred nova]

We’re throwing you in a mass grave it’s over

[still current]

Idk if we gonna do that thi what do that mean anyway? Observe servers and ban cheaters?

[keen lagoon]

The people who make a story of their vac ban

[maiden grotto]

"they" is the word i used 😄

[keen lagoon]

Classic

[charred nova]

Ik im being hypothetical

[sturdy verge]

remember when they had unsecure servers for cs 1.6 😄 speed/aim vs speed/aim 😂

[keen lagoon]

Jok thinks it's gonna be like dayz or rust looool

[charred nova]

I don’t

I think it’s gonna be the Wild West

[maiden grotto]

Ahhhh, sorry, Autistic, so I can take things literally, and miss some nuanced jokes... My appologies

[charred nova]

With 5 cheaters in every lobby

[keen lagoon]

Remember rdr2

[charred nova]

No

[maiden grotto]

I have had my steam account for nearly 20 years... Never been vac banned, never used a cheat... If I want to do better, I play more

[keen lagoon]

It's gonna be like that or gta lobby.

[charred nova]

Cus I never played it

[sturdy verge]

❤️

[charred nova]

I played apocalypse rising on Roblox

[still current]

Nah, nothing can be known for sure? It can be total chaos, or not. It all depends on how things go release onward

[keen lagoon]

You should play it it'd a glorious game.

[charred nova]

Cheaters were part of the game

Someone might join script call the entire lobby

Just had to deal with it

[maiden grotto]

Now you know why I like my games to make sense... They drive me nuts when don't 😄

[sturdy verge]

most of them helped create admin tools 😄

[charred nova]

I don’t really think multiplayer for stalker 2 will be a good idea though

Maybe 10 years ago

[keen lagoon]

Yeah at this point it's framework to put actual coop on

[sturdy verge]

< adhd 😄 i get ya 😄

[keen lagoon]

So I'll take it and learn how to implament it into the core game

[charred nova]

Better use for sure

I have basically zero hope for this gaming being playable at launch

[maiden grotto]

If it is co-op, then yes it will... Go down to some base, chat to a mission giver, go hunt down some problamitic mutants... Anomolies where working together gets you very rare artifacts...

Lots the can do for co-op... you just need to be creative

[charred nova]

Russians will ddos the servers constantly

[keen lagoon]

It's gotta be possible. Idk ue that much and I do know it's a pain in the dick to mod... Cause it's super strict and ass.

[sturdy verge]

i would just like to see some mod that has warfare mode 😄

[keen lagoon]

But it should be possibly.

[charred nova]

I’d love multiplayer for stalker 2 to be playable

But I don’t think it will be

[keen lagoon]

I think it will start like skyrim

Loool so very bad.

[quiet rock]

whats wrong with making it multiplayer coop?

[charred nova]

That’s not what the multiplayer will be

It won’t be co op

[quiet rock]

why do people insist on stupid pvp

[keen lagoon]

It requires a metric to of setup engine side.

[maiden grotto]

I agree, just IMO, that is what they should be doing... As DLC? Lets sell another 3 million copies.

They would be fools not too... And they really need to be told, kicking and screming

[charred nova]

Devs already said there won’t be co op

It will have to be a mod

[maiden grotto]

Because some people just want to kill other people for ego trips.

[quiet rock]

but thats stupid. so multiplayer is going to be deathmatch pvp? go play cawaduddy for that

[keen lagoon]

Yep, and we're hoping with the multiplayer they release we can use that ue plugin in the base game for coop.

[charred nova]

Like quake

[sturdy verge]

great my DM will be 1-99 as usual 😂

[charred nova]

[quiet rock]

go play quake champions its free? ok lets make a survey, who is really asking for multiplayer deathmatches

[keen lagoon]

Oor if they release a lot of the engine to us...... We can just implament it..

[charred nova]

There not making co op

They have said no from day one

[quiet rock]

very optimistic of you. hope so

[keen lagoon]

Prayge the sdk tool is strong and massive.

[charred nova]

There not changing there mind

[quiet rock]

did they at least hint what kind of multiplayer is it gonna be

[maiden grotto]

Thus killing off their 2nd biggest earner... Game Studios are blithering idiots at times

[keen lagoon]

They're so hard set on no coop they even use the same line as their stance. The zone has no friends

[sturdy verge]

just ya sausages and energy drinks

[charred nova]

Someone will drop a mod for it

So

It’s not the game they wanted to make

[keen lagoon]

After spt for tarkov. I believe in anything.

[charred nova]

Quake death match mode

[keen lagoon]

High hopes for the internet

[maiden grotto]

but it's not going to be the same as when a professional studio all the mechanics, and interactions properly,

[charred nova]

They would have to make the entire game revolve around co op

Which they didn’t wanna do

[keen lagoon]

Bro you're so out of touch with the comment ngl. Some people who mod are far beyond development studios. They're not held on a pedistal..

[charred nova]

A co op mod is gonna be one of those mods for legend of Zelda

That makes it co op

Where you guys just exist in the same place

But that’s it basically

[maiden grotto]

But 99% of mods, are not.... I have been using mods for decades... And the vast majority of them I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

[keen lagoon]

I understand the cherry picking to back up your stance, but it's a fundamentally wrong approach as to how successful some modders are in comparison to some dev studios. The same can be said for the sess pool of current AAA industry

[charred nova]

Look man I just want to play king of the hill in stalker 2

[keen lagoon]

Stalker 3 confirmed with the auto correct I saw that.

[charred nova]

Yes

Stalker 3 is a co op hero shooter

[keen lagoon]

[charred nova]

With loot boxes and gacha mechanics

[maiden grotto]

Not cherry picking... 99% of mods are absolute gash, and add nothing to games, apart ampules of silliness that I am not interested in 🙂

[charred nova]

Bro has never seen Minecraft tech mods

[maiden grotto]

As I said earlier, I am autistic, things need to make sense to me, if they, don;t then I won't use them

[charred nova]

I’m also autistic

Where’s my badge

[maiden grotto]

99% of mods don't. They just annoy me 😄

Like Turkey Tom and Nicholas deorio

And others that I won’t mention too based for chat

I just find youtube drama so beneath me... It's petty and pathetic... And whole bunch of nobodies making money for being tw^ts.

[charred nova]

I can’t even say

It’s way too bad for me to even talk about in this server

[maiden grotto]

I like to give people a chance, before I put them on my hit list 😄

[charred nova]

Let’s just say

He likes terrorists

A lot

[maiden grotto]

I like terrorists....

Once they have been taken out 😄

[charred nova]

He likes what they do

[maiden grotto]

And he is on youtube?

[charred nova]

No on twitch

Lmfao

He would be instantly banned on YouTube

Basically it’s kinda super fucked up

[maiden grotto]

Twitch is joke...

[charred nova]

The ceo of twitch really likes him so

[cobalt fiber]

Going off my experience which I shared yesterday

[charred nova]

No matter what he says

[cobalt fiber]

It says you have automatic rizz

[charred nova]

TRUE

[maiden grotto]

So one of them...

[cobalt fiber]

[wintry pumice]

Yeah Twitch is a cesspool

[charred nova]

The head of health and safety team was fired from her old job for her out spoken comments about how much she didn’t like Jewish people

[maiden grotto]

I use it for streaming somtimes... I can't be dealing with youtube...

But I don;t watch anyone on Twitch, apart from a couple of friend

[wintry pumice]

Patch is already out || in the shining zone ||

[charred nova]

Patch is out in my mind

Playing it right now in my head

[charred nova]

I agree

But between watching car videos and YouTube drama

That’s what I listen/ watch all day

[maiden grotto]

It's going to be this week, and it if not, goood... It means they want to get things right

[wintry pumice]

Corn is better than youtube or Twitch,

[charred nova]

I mean corn does apparently make noise

[wintry pumice]

Except when it comes to learning new stuff, Youtube is better

[charred nova]

Apparently when you got an entire field of corn

Sometimes it will make noise

Which is apparently the sound of it growing

[still current]

Don't start political subjects

[wintry pumice]

I use Arch btw

[maiden grotto]

Fair enough... I like to listen to the Fall of Civilizations podcast, about the histories of ancient peoples, Like Sumerians, Assyrians, Pheonicians, Last kings of India etc...

The guys voice is rather relaxing and it's just so easy to listen too

Right now, I have nearly 40 email to forward to the governments anti-phishing unit

Mmmmm Mmmmm fun time Charley

Okay,,, Try 1046 on Spere without it bugging...

Lets go....

Please be advised that b^tching and moan will commese in approximately 3 mins 😄

[harsh jungle]

wait ppl are gonna be whining in 3 minutes?

[last saddle]

its just feature for added difficulty

[sturdy verge]

did someone say wine? where's the wine?? 🍷 oh nvm

[harsh jungle]

I said WHINE not WINE

[sturdy verge]

i need the wine so i can read the whine

[charred nova]

When will they add fishing

[last saddle]

would be pretty neat. but dont see it being a thing unless they make food more scarce

[maiden grotto]

It's amazing how Lens, with one leg, can stand up properly with no issues... 😄

[last saddle]

a seperate difficulty to make items less available would be cool

[maiden grotto]

Boths good 😄

[last saddle]

whining and wine go hand in hand

[maiden grotto]

A sensible economy and sensible survival mechanics would be great... Eating 40 sausages a day shouldn't be a thing... 99% of teh foos in teh zone should be rooten...

This is why "safe zones" are really important... hubs for fresh food brought in....

[quiet rock]

were any of the old stalker games coop?

[maiden grotto]

nope

[last saddle]

yeah for sure

[maiden grotto]

I love the fact I now have 5/6 guards left in Zalyssia... Don;t know where they are most of the time... But they are around patrolling 😄

[crystal granite]

All praise the Tsar Fish!

Oh wait, wrong franchise

[crystal granite]

I played on Stalker but I heard that even on Veteran items aren't nearly as scarce as they should

[last saddle]

yeah i also played on stalker. ill try veteran on my next go

hopefully with things being more ironed out

and while having to sleep all the time can be annoying itd be nice to actually have a sleep feature without just negating it with energy drinks

[crystal granite]

Same here. Man if I sold items from my stash at the right prices, I'd put both Sidorovich and Myklukha out of business lol 😆 soooo much stuff hidden in it

[last saddle]

i never had to shop cause i had my own shop in my stash lol

bought a couple scopes but thats about it

[crystal granite]

Loot goblins "oh look, my 55th sausage today! I'll add it to the other 400 I already have"

[last saddle]

lmao cant help but to just grab it all

after a while tho i only grabbed canned meat

[crystal granite]

All those medpacks I got helped me late game lol

[charred nova]

No the game needs fishing

[crystal granite]

Canned bloodsucker tentacles

[charred nova]

[last saddle]

the best

i wouldnt mind a fishing feature at all

[lethal vortex]

so... now it would be a great time to... you know... release a patch

[maiden grotto]

Worked out Zalyssia is empty after SIRCAA.... These three perv's standing round your bed, waiting for you to sleep...

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[crystal granite]

I laughed when I've seen some ppl reactions at the canned meat. I've seen some old MRE's, I'm not shaken by some mystery meat with jiggle physics 😂

[quiet rock]

what about mods that enabled coop?

for the old games that is

[crystal granite]

I had half the room full. Idk maybe yours died in the Monolith assault?

[maiden grotto]

No idea... was never interested in that for the old games... Maybe if you looked for it.

[last saddle]

was kinda funny all the crates of food in the last mission

[maiden grotto]

My guys are outside patrolling and guarding the place, got a couple of guys in EXO suits

[quiet rock]

i honestly think the last no going back section is the best ending section i have played in a while (i only got scar ending so far, waiting for patch to do more)

[crystal granite]

Literally, I was like holup how many bosses are beyond that section? How much do you want me to take 🤣

[last saddle]

meanwhile i brought an aresenal to that fight lol

[lyric kayak]

Skifs pistol, and 8000 rounds

[last saddle]

ginyu force (granite squad) wasnt as bad as i was expecting

[crystal granite]

Dnipro, Texan, Rhino & Skiffs pistol all with AP and the Gauss rifle

[lyric kayak]

[last saddle]

didnt use the rhino at all. and the gauss rifle is strong but i didnt like using it

[tawdry furnace]

Mhm

[crystal granite]

I cheesed them from the little crawlspace you're in, and then hugged the wall cause the lest gauss guy was up on the catwalk. For some reason there were guys there even after I eliminated granite squad

[lyric kayak]

I wish there were more knives. I would have so many knives. Probably at least - 2, 3 hundred knives.

[maiden grotto]

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I just stepped out side the big house in Zalyssia, to go to Spere to fight the monolith and the fecking game spawns an emission...

This is unreal....

[last saddle]

throwing knifes woulda been a nice touch

[crystal granite]

Rhino was a last resort gun if I didn't have time for a reload, and I mained the Gauss after I ran out of AP for Dnipro

[maiden grotto]

@fret know how much trouble I was having last night 😄

[lyric kayak]

A nice karambit maybe

[cobalt fiber]

Fishing > weapons

[last saddle]

yeah dude you probably have one of the worste runs ive heard of lol

[crystal granite]

Not with these stealth mechanics. They need to improve stealth and nerf enemy detection to allow us some sneeky breeki action

[last saddle]

Only real time i had an issue using stealth was when you had to escape from the ward base

[lyric kayak]

Sneaki? You misunderstand, when you scream loud enough, it acts as a detterent for bullets

[crystal granite]

fixes bayonet

UUURRAAAA!!

[shell flax]

Can’t raise the alarm if they’re all dead

Zalyssia is now empty XD

[crystal granite]

insert Borat great success meme here

[last saddle]

Ay as long as your guide and shops are still there press on

[rough cypress]

defended Zalyssia and still failed even though everyone died lol

[maiden grotto]

Guides dead

[crystal granite]

||you kill the Zalissya guide after siirca||

[last saddle]

My guide was still there I'm pretty sure

[maiden grotto]

I defended Zalyssia, only one person died in the fight, I head popped monolith like a beast... The game has just randomly despawned the lot 😄

[lyric kayak]

I feel like every time I decide I want to have psychedelics, Scar was having them too.

[warm stone]

whats your take on this: Is 85 hours enough to 100% STALKER 2? Like getting every achievment

[last saddle]

Scar is on a permanent trip

[crystal granite]

Scar is always on some crazy stuff

[last saddle]

If you know them ahead of time yes

But i dunno with the different endings all the steps needed to get them

[warm stone]

well, I think barley, you have to focus on them, and get lucky (like several of them can be buggy). Collecting every blueprint is a real chore especially with no way to track them. Also getting every artifact is nearly impossible without save spamming

[rough cypress]

how many artifacts in the game?

[warm stone]

Yes, there are some that are tied to "endings". 75 artifacts

[serene barn]

Iirc 70+

[rough cypress]

damn. im at 31

[warm stone]

but its just "cosmetic". So there are several with a similar stat boost.

[rough cypress]

half of mine are the same lol, stat wise

[last saddle]

Yeah same lol

[rough cypress]

i need a max rad

[warm stone]

my main point in asking is that I saw some guy on steam with 85 hours and all achievment complete. But not only for this game. Like KCD2, 130 hours played and all achievements. I mean something is fishy there. 130hours for KCD is a bit much, since it got released on feb 6 or so.

[last saddle]

Gotta get you some liquid rock

[rough cypress]

where am i looking

[maiden grotto]

Yeah, I give up... I really can;t be asked anymore... I will give it one more try after the update... And if I can;t do Zalyssia with out it bugging out.... The game go F itself...

Bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug...

[last saddle]

Well some ppl use exploits or commands so take that with a grain of salt

[warm stone]

or Black myth wukong 58 hours played, all achievements........yeah sure

[rough cypress]

haaaaaaaaa word

[maiden grotto]

So demoralising, have to do the same shyte over and over again, in the hope it doesn;t f up again.

[rough cypress]

love me some pc

[warm stone]

I think its a youtuber person. And I get it they get games before release sure. But all maxed out game is barley the minimum time for maxing them out.

[rough cypress]

what system you on?

[maiden grotto]

PC

[rough cypress]

that quest was considerably more buggy on my 4070 than my 4090

[maiden grotto]

It's got nothing to do with the GPU, I am using AMD...

It's buggy, because the game was rushed for realese, so everything is just a messy sack of BS

Really shouldn't need a 4090 to play smoothly tho

[rough cypress]

no kidding

[warm stone]

I mean how many of you maxed out games with the "least amount of time needed" to max it out. I mean, I dare to say that a person who really maxed out STALKER 2 for example will surley have 100+ hours on it.

[rough cypress]

hope this next update optimizes more before my system blows up lol

[last saddle]

I played through on a 3080 decently tho

[rough cypress]

do yall use frame gen?

[last saddle]

I did yes

[rough cypress]

game feels like ass.

[maiden grotto]

It's not really optimizing, it's just something about nVidia... My AMD 7900XT run at 90-120 fps 1440p epic setting, native resolution.. Can dip in to the 70's now and then... but most of the sits between 90-100fps in places like rostok.

[warm stone]

yes, nobrainer. 4x MFG. Rostok is a pleasant experience with FG. Around 150 fps Without it its 40-50 FPS. Input lag? not reallly

[rough cypress]

funnily enough, rostok was my most demanding place yet

[maiden grotto]

Another fool falling for nVidia's BS... Then wonders why games arn;t optimised...

[last saddle]

yeah mostly had issues in rostok as well

couple crashes even after the last patch

[warm stone]

Sure 🙂 check rostok with and without framegen. Its night and day. CPU limited scenarios are awesome with FG.

[last saddle]

def made a huge difference

[warm stone]

GPU limited scenarios won't make a difference with framegen, thats for sure, but CPU ones work great.

[maiden grotto]

Yup yup... I will just stick to native thank you very much... I don't want to pay £££ for gimmicks....

I don't have to use frame gen... I got 90-100 fps in Rostok in epic... If I use upscaling, I get 120-130

[last saddle]

console wars pc wars. always gonna be a thing lol

[rough cypress]

i like frame gen personally, for this game i dont mind

[warm stone]

unless you are from future, you are not getting 90 100 in rostok.

[maiden grotto]

Oh poor child...

[rough cypress]

rostok gets me 130 fps in epic with frame gen and 80 without

[last saddle]

nvidia is usually fine for the most part. use w.e works for ya

[rough cypress]

intel :{

[maiden grotto]

I can get that in places with just quality upscalling

[warm stone]

"vids or didnt happen" so they say. BTW what cpu you have? 9800x3d here. 50-60fps

[maiden grotto]

Ryzen 7900 no X, just PBO

[rough cypress]

intel ultra 7

[plain fiber]

Definitely the latter if statements from recent interviews are anything to go by.

[rough cypress]

guess ill play this game instead of talking about it. really need to get into cyberpunk again

[maiden grotto]

standing outside Rostok bar, I am getting 90fps native

[last saddle]

i did give cyberpunk a good run a few months ago. game isnt bad. def a lot of content

[warm stone]

im sorry, you are not getting 90 100 fps in rostok with that CPU. Unless you find a spot where the fps is that high. Walking around some busy areas (into the bar, out of the bar) will def. around 40-60.

[last saddle]

reload animations are my favorite part lol

[rough cypress]

meredith romance

[maiden grotto]

90 fps outside the bar....

80 fps inside the bar 😄

[rough cypress]

game is unmanageable at times, hella stuff to do

ima take frame gen off and see what the bar gets me

[maiden grotto]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message - inside the bar now 🙂

[sturdy verge]

Lol got some yt notification 'big patch this week' okayyy haha

[warm stone]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message check this, here the guy at 4k has 200 native fps
Please.......

[last saddle]

you ever get crashes inrostok? if i went afk or just stayed there for long periods of time my memeory would shoot up to 99% and crash

[maiden grotto]

yeah... Bullshit.... FG....

So sad

[warm stone]

im sorry but so is your screenshot without FPS/usage counter.

[maiden grotto]

And... it deosn't capture my AMD overlay 😄

And as far as I am aware, there is no FPS on screen counter in S2

[last saddle]

if youre playing through steam theres a setting for it

[warm stone]

you can use several external tools. Anyway at the end of the day it doesnt really matter how it runs for you. If its ok for you, so be it.

[maiden grotto]

Okay.... Lets destroy this blithering fool

[steep maple]

Does physical protection stack ?

[maiden grotto]

no, you are calling me a liar.... you don't get to call me that and walk away

[last saddle]

depends on your base armor stats. they stack if you have low protection

[steep maple]

Dammit, I mean stacking a Compass and a magic cube. Im wearing titanium diamond exo

[warm stone]

what? not really. Just prove your x number fps thats all 🙂
But again: at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter that much to have negative feelings and such.

[last saddle]

yeah not needed at all if youre using diamond exo

just go for endurance and other shit instead

[vapid galleon]

no, I was 1080p and 60fps and dlss quality

this picture is 1080p bro

[maiden grotto]

Oooo found that setting in steap 😄

Time to put some BS to bed

[steep maple]

Does endurance stack above maximum ?

[last saddle]

it stacks but does have a cap

[steep maple]

Does thunderberry get to cap ?

[last saddle]

i think you can use a thunder berry and another that doesnt say maximum and itll stack

kinda hard to test it fully saince theres no way to see it but just test it out

[steep maple]

Currently running with this, any artifacts i should farm for ? #📸┃screenshots_and_videos message

[last saddle]

depends on your play style i guess. i didnt like using the ball and i personally wouldnt even bother with physical protection if youre using diamond

i just went with weight, endurance and rads if needed. kept the weird water in my back pocket for when i needed it

[vapid galleon]

Why do you insult people for no reason?

[maiden grotto]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message - There you go 1440p native, no upscaling, 86fps inside the bars in Rostok, as I said...

It is not an optimiastion thing, it is an nVidia thing, something about this game hates nVidia...

Yes there are memory leaks, I have had them around the zone at points, just a back to main meny and back and continue game.

[last saddle]

all based off my playthrough keep in mind. not like i studied any of this

[maiden grotto]

If you going to fall for nVidia's BS and pay through the nose for gimmicks... then you are a fool.

[last saddle]

cant expect everyone to have the same mindset as you tbf

[lime nest]

Still no need to insult people over it

[charred nova]

It’s in our nature

BULLY EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH US

AGHHHHH

[last saddle]

lol

[maiden grotto]

Of course, but the people need to learn, and stop falling for it.

Gamers are their own worst enemy... GTA6 £100 waaaaaaaaaaaaaah..... go out an buy it in millions justifying greedy investors to keep charging £100 for games

[vapid galleon]

Bro, I have RTX3060 + i3 12100f and I'm getting minumum 60fps with 1080p, hight sttings, dlss quality

[last saddle]

shit i mean i wanna play gta 6 but ill be waiting for the pc launch

[charred nova]

They lost me when they said I had to buy some stupid box

[maiden grotto]

And that is perfectly fine 🙂

[vapid galleon]

This guy needs some restraint

[vapid galleon]

yes, that's why it's not stupid to buy nvidia

[maiden grotto]

3060#s were a far mor reasonable price than the 4060 and new 5060's

[charred nova]

I mean in this game it seems to be

[last saddle]

is the base game of gta 6 gonna be 100 bucks? or is that for "premium" shark card bs

[charred nova]

His rig should be slower than mine

But he totally dominates my 3090 in stalker 2

2.5x more fps

[maiden grotto]

It's not an optimation problem... It's an nVidia problem for some reason

although, mem leaks are a problem too...

[charred nova]

I’m praying Radeon wakes up

[vapid galleon]

yes, that's why it's not stupid to buy nvidia

[charred nova]

radeon wake up you’ve been in a coma since 2014 wake up

[vapid galleon]

nobody dont know

[last saddle]

only thing i find stupid is how they keep pumping out new gpus for gaming when most games run like ass regardess. mfs need to polish our current tech before moving forward

[maiden grotto]

yes it is.... because there was 0 generational uplift from 3060 to 4060.... you are literally paying 100+ more for gimmicks

software optimisation.... an extra 100+ for a no uplift GPU

what kind of mug pays for that

Do you not do any research at all

[last saddle]

i mean if you got money like that and you like gaming get w.e the hell you want lol

[maiden grotto]

No really, becaue the long term cost is in a few generations your 7060 is gonna cost close to a 1000

[last saddle]

i dont think theres a need at all for new gen gpus atm tho. kinda silly

unless youre a programmer or w.e

[vapid galleon]

😂 stay with your ego

[maiden grotto]

becaesu people with no will power will pay just becaue.... just like GTA will raise games to 100 ap pop, becuae people with more money than sense will just pay for it

[last saddle]

for tiple a games maybe. but triple a is usually ass these days. rockstars a good enough company. where are you getting this 100 price tag from tho

[maiden grotto]

My ego.... What trying not to be fleeced at every opputrtinuty.... Wanting to keep everything afford able for everyone...

Is an ego trip?

[maiden grotto]

Rumours are flying everywhere about... even LTT has mentioned this, so there is some weight behind it.

[last saddle]

im sure itll cost 70 usd for base game like the rest of em. 100 bucks or more for stupid premium bs

[maiden grotto]

Even 70 is still far to much... It's all about lining investor pockets, kust like micro transations.

[charred nova]

I mean he’s right the 4060 is a scam

[last saddle]

while i dont disagree its the way it is

[charred nova]

It has an even smaller memory bus than the 3060

And is almost the same speed

So in some games it’s actually slower

Due to the memory limitation

[last saddle]

micros are bs. im gettn gta for the campaign alone. couldnt care less about gta online

[maiden grotto]

one skew of the 3060 had 16Gb of ram... and out performed the 4060

[vapid galleon]

Yes, you are in this chat all day long and trying to prove to people that your opinion is correct by calling them fool, for nothing

[vapid galleon]

yes, 4060 is a scam, I think same. 3060 Ti better

[maiden grotto]

Just because you don;t know anything, doesn;t mean it is nothing....

Anyone who buy nVidia now is a fool $1500 for an asus 5080?

Feck off

[last saddle]

economy isnt the best and new gpus are pointless imo

eventually theyll be needed. but now? no

[maiden grotto]

WEll, AMD 9070xt around $550 for a 4070ti super + performance... If true, is gonna be a game changer

[vapid galleon]

@charred novaThis man constantly insults me, why is nothing being done? Why are you keeping someone who doesn't even know how to talk to people in this conversation? Why don't you warn?

[last saddle]

if someone has money like that tho ranting about it wont change their minds.

[maiden grotto]

Statements of facts are not insults.

[charred nova]

I mean 3060 ti is way better

Owned

[last saddle]

thats like me calling yo and idot for buying a car of your liking. its your money. get w.e the hell you get

[charred nova]

If you buy a cyber truck I will bully you

[last saddle]

dont like it? dont buy it. i dunno

[charred nova]

Think your clever with that one

[maiden grotto]

deal with it, or learn, and listen to people have worked with IT hardware for over 20 years...

I was building servers for DHL avaition in 2000... I say nothing lightly

[last saddle]

well cybertrucks are ugly af lol

[maiden grotto]

Only a mug would by them... Musk fan boi's

[charred nova]

I keep getting news articles that cyber truck owners find they are getting increasingly harassed by the general public

[last saddle]

its like ppl who buy 1000 dollar shoes. shits retarded. but hey its their money

[charred nova]

Some guy near where I live got a swastika sticker stuck on his cyber truck recently

[maiden grotto]

TBF, they deserve it... But I think a lot of it is now, because of teh current relationship with the governmnet... I am gussing.

[charred nova]

Yah and I will use my freedom of speech to make fun of them

[vapid galleon]

I know most things and I compiled the system that best suits my budget, starting with zero knowledge. In short, buying nvidia is not stupidity. Stay with your ego

[vapid galleon]

:)

[last saddle]

wont change anything. make you feel better i guess 🤷‍♂️

[charred nova]

I does make me feel better

MORAL HIGH GROUND

[last saddle]

i hate you!!

[charred nova]

I HATE YOU MORE

AGHHHHH

Lmao

[last saddle]

business sucks. is what it is

[maiden grotto]

but those have always been an elitish thing...

The general public always had good quality alternatives....

The problem is, these good quality alternatives are working their way up to 1000 too... Pricing good quality alternatives out of evryday peoples hands...

This is what nVidia... them are social engeering bottom draw quality, for top teir prices. and too many fools are buying ini to this...

If people want to spend 1000 on a pair shoes... good, as long as it doesn't enbd up forcing us to pay that price too.

That is the point

[charred nova]

I mean if you actually bought a 5080

I would laugh at you

I’d do it in real life

[last saddle]

im using a 3080 still

[charred nova]

I’d still laugh at you

Well no

3080 is good

[maiden grotto]

Last nVidia card I got was a 3080... I loved them, but they got greedy and are now fleecing everyone.

[charred nova]

Agreed

90 class card only one worth buying now
