[smoky hawk]

Well, asking people to have standards is too much nowadays, we need to gatekeep freeplay players out

[vale vessel]

it looks like fears of fathom

[mental dove]

Also used to angry mean russian people shouting

[mental dove]

Ouch

[regal sinew]

Riiight, I’m forgetting people aren’t allowed to like one or more play styles, especially if they differ from their own lol.

[smoky hawk]

damn my taste is being judged online? How will I cope

[mental dove]

I am absolutely loving this fandom I already caused a mild disagreement

[vale vessel]

is this a beef

[mental dove]

This feels like eating a can of british beans on an abandoned building while at 35% humidity and at 41 degrees celcius

Love it

[regal sinew]

If you guys are talking about me then no, I heb no beefs with no one on here, it’s pure banter from me.

[smoky hawk]

It's hard to have beefs when one has no brain

[vale vessel]

@regal sinew you heard that ? i wouldnt take that tbh

[mental dove]

I mean, do you think a lenovo could possibly run stalker on mods?

Putting aside the fact I would just melt

[regal sinew]

Must be on his period.

[craggy lava]

Ragebaiting is crazy

[mental dove]

Damn, you heard that, @smoky hawk? Low blow

[vale vessel]

@smoky hawk naaah maan you gotta see this

[regal sinew]

[mental dove]

This is my first glance of the fandom of stalker and I love it

[vale vessel]

hes that black guy while people saying ohhhhhh around him

[regal sinew]

Best community man, especially the modding scene.

[craggy lava]

What 😭😭😭 you mean black guy

[vale vessel]

sorry

[craggy lava]

Funniest typo ever lol

[mental dove]

I love how weirdly uncomfortable stalker is

[vale vessel]

@smoky hawk dont run away now, finish what you started man

[regal sinew]

You’d be surprised btw, you can get Anomaly to run on a potato.

[vale vessel]

he came back

[mental dove]

I have this spongebob tv from when I was like 4

I feel tempted to share screen from my laptop and just go at like 5 fps

[smoky hawk]

Sorry man, I gotta go to the gym, see ya

[mental dove]

Dammmn

Allegedly

Omar and MAD GOD are writing...

[regal sinew]

You can’t hide in the gym from me, I will Liam Neeson you.

[mental dove]

[regal sinew]

[smoky hawk]

Squat 280 below parallel and I will pin one of your messages

[vale vessel]

@regal sinew its a way to tell you that you need to touch grass in a clever way indicating that he goes gym
you see it as just a sentence, but the deeper you analyze it the more offensive it seems
stoic gaming wants to tell you that he has a life has a purpose and see nothing matters in this conversation so he ignores you
this is a clear dispresct tbh

[mental dove]

@smoky hawk @smoky hawk @vale vessel Y'all amusing as hell, im wishing upon you all to find 99 medkits and a blueprint on balatro

[versed reef]

Generally speaking play whatever you want man, don't listen to die elitisten
Id recommend SoC to Cs to CoP and then I guess s2 if you end up caring
Freeplay mods are fine too, you can play Anomaly or Gamma just don't mention it here 😉 it's between us

[mental dove]

Aight I got you, thank you man

[craggy lava]

What if instead of being assholes the people on the stalker discord were nice and helpful to new players, imagine that

[mental dove]

[regal sinew]

Haha, clearly you’re the person who adds the fuel to the fire at the bbqs.

[mental dove]

Impossible

[vale vessel]

nah man im a peace warrior

[craggy lava]

Top 10 most toxic fanbases ever fr

[mental dove]

I feel like @vale vessel Is that cousing who prompts the uncles to fight for the land to inherit from the grandma

[vale vessel]

i fight for the weak and bring justice

[versed reef]

No because you see, Demoranch's brother made a video about Gamma they didn't like so they must take it out on random people lmao

[regal sinew]

It’s funny though as I was outside smoking up when that message came through.

[mental dove]

It's stalker, from my 1 hour of playing experience I can tell you that it feels like being on a moldy room while sitting in a damp chair and with humid air

It's the definition of uncomfortability, yet it's fun as hell

How can you not expect for people to be as uncomfortable as the game?

[vale vessel]

you havent seen rocket league

atleast you can breathe here

[mental dove]

Maybe not toxic but definitely crazy, r/arkham

Or r/playboicarti

[vale vessel]

valid since rocksteady gave them suicide squad after arkham knight

i would go crazy too

[craggy lava]

That’s because half of that community is over 45 and the other half is under 6

[mental dove]

On playboicarti subreddit someone asked: "What is your favorite number?"

[vale vessel]

ts generation doesnt respect elderies 🥀

[smoky hawk]

That's a great idea, we should totally do that yhea

[digital palm]

RETURN THE LION TO COP !

[mental dove]

I feel OGS and Mad god should touch tips

[vale vessel]

what

[mental dove]

[mental dove]

I did not stutter

[regal sinew]

[vale vessel]

no homo right ?

[mental dove]

[mental dove]

Of course not

[regal sinew]

Ah no homo? I’m down.

[mental dove]

Unless they want,,, no judging here

[mental dove]

That's the spirit

[vale vessel]

i feel like stalker 2 community are mostly straight dudes so i wouldnt expect that

unless...

[mental dove]

Or angry russian men

There's also posibility of polish boy

[vale vessel]

russians are always angry

dont know why

[mental dove]

Reason why this entire fandom is based out of awkwardness, hate and base craps

It's entire game is situated in russia

It gives you an experience of the average day there

Damn.

[frigid hill]

iwatchblackmenshakingtheirbooty has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[mental dove]

Why do they have to publicly humilliate you by putting that message up for everyone

The dm was enough thank you very much

[keen terrace]

It's just a warn

[mental dove]

They make me feel like a toddler by it saying "bad word"

[keen terrace]

Nothing big

[mental dove]

In a couple of servers I know that would've been used as a humilliation tool

[keen terrace]

Here people mostly will laugh at wolf, not at you

[mental dove]

Punching bag?

Like sean (F04) 2.0?

Actually

No

Like lottery ticket guy from FO:NV kind of punchbag?

"Guess who won the lottery? I did!"

[craggy lava]

I usually kill that dude ngl

[sturdy verge]

Nice

[sturdy verge]

damn wolf! lol

[weary hedge]

hiyall

the whole of my enchanged editions are crashing at the most start

pls help

[worldly lion]

Are there any mods in the Chat rn

[smoky hawk]

Whatcha need

[worldly lion]

I want to warn that discord has secretly let in generative ai art bots in servers that feed off of the Media in the server without anyone consent and without them knowing

[smoky hawk]

Where did you get this

[worldly lion]

Lemme forward it

[smoky hawk]

Can't see it
Well it's a good thing they are here then, it will make the AI quality go down the drain

[worldly lion]

Lmao

[charred nova]

Hey grok is this true

[worldly lion]

@wishgranter is this true

[craggy lava]

After the past few days all the generative AI will be making is photos of sidor

[neon temple]

doing our part 😭

[sturdy verge]

there's a section called member lost?

[fervent robin]

A weather forecast would be good to have on your pda

[oak junco]

Fr

I want zone weather

[fervent robin]

Yea cause i arrived at a mission destination and i cant snipe cause its too damn foggy

[charred nova]

Hail storms in the zone when

[craggy lava]

Summer in the zone

[oak junco]

this will get controversial but || fallout 4 radstorms..||

[craggy lava]

That’s actually a good idea to force you into a different playstyle

[fervent robin]

Could plan my tactics according to the weather

Or wait for a sunny day to do the sniping

[craggy lava]

Wait that’s actually kinda cool

wind speeds and stuff like that would be insane

[fervent robin]

Yes

[oak junco]

more realistic sniping would be peak..

[vapid galleon]

hello chat

[oak junco]

hello

[silent valve]

hm, how about an artifact showcase instead of just dropping them into your player stash?

but onto the flipside you'll need sooner or later an own showroom into the various stations...so cxx that

[silk geode]

Hello

I need some help

[craggy lava]

?

[sturdy verge]

he needs some milk

[silk geode]

How do I remove the hold breath thingy

[brazen arch]

what do you mean remove?

Like, binding hotkey to another action or what?

[silk geode]

So you know how it says hold breath when you aim down a sight all bright as shit I wanna remove that

[brazen arch]

remove the tip on the screen right?

[silk geode]

Yes indeed

[brazen arch]

ok, i dont know then.

😂

[craggy lava]

I don’t think you can

[silk geode]

They could have fixed that in they’re patch

[craggy lava]

It’s not got its own independent setting

[silk geode]

Ruins the immersion

[brazen arch]

in the meantime u can use black tape to cover that part of the screen where the text is displayed

[silk geode]

Hahah not that easy then there would be a black tape on my tv

[dapper rock]

I HATE EXTENDED EDITION
HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT

[silent valve]

throw your hard cat head against it

[craggy lava]

No
Its dogshit
CS UI us all blurry
It runs like shit

Fuсking violation of the memory these games left behind

Ended with Stalker: Call of Refunds

[dapper rock]

Omg

[bold smelt]

Demake but with way higher specs

[spiral cobalt]

You guys think the hotfix will fix the 720p resolution being stuck on the enhanced edition?

Currently waiting to play through them again just because of that

[ancient marten]

unhanced

[spiral cobalt]

The games would actually look so good if that was fixed

especially COP

[sturdy verge]

soc- dragging my bandit across town da da lalalala a

have about 5 bodies in the room with sid to keep him company

[spiral cobalt]

Yep

[sturdy verge]

and who knows about your hotfix question other than what was asked in gsc answers

[quiet rock]

Should i go straight for the plot with ward and do the real exploring for the sterlok and protagonist endings?

[blazing steeple]

Hello, did this part got deleted from the final game? it looks sick but i never meet this person in both walktrough sessions. min 2:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNLaKOlXVvw&ab_channel=GSCGameWorld

or is just Dead City / Limansk ? 😄

[copper spire]

Most likely yes, because most other scenes on the trailer (bloodsucker scream, fire gossip) are also nonexistent in the game as far as I’m concerned

[halcyon karma]

The mission about the Basement exists (||The Foundation||), but this character and cutscene no. But the place itself does exist in Chornobyl-2.

[halcyon karma]

They do exist (but some in different circumstances)

[plain mantle]

someones knows any website 2 download mods safely?

[smoky hawk]

which game

[plain mantle]

stalker 2

[smoky hawk]

lol

[plain mantle]

for what i know the new version of the og games have steam workshop

[plain mantle]

what?

[smoky hawk]

lmao

[plain mantle]

😔

[regal sinew]

I haven’t used any stalker 2 mods yet but Nexus mods is probably a good place to look for stalker 2 mods.

[plain mantle]

finally a good answer, thx men will look some there

i ask becouse i found a page called stalker2mod.com and idk if that is an official website

[cobalt fiber]

There's no official mod website

[smoky hawk]

no, Stalker 2 doesnt have SDK yet, dont download anything from such a page

[regal sinew]

Nah there is no official mod site. Most mods probably will be put up on Nexus though.

[plain mantle]

how hard was to say that in the first place lol

[cobalt fiber]

[plain mantle]

instead of laughing, how rude from u

[regal sinew]

He does a little trolling don’t worry about it.

The giggle i gaggled

[sacred obsidian]

oh god

[light crag]

Hi

[quiet smelt]

been a while since i checked up on S2 has the performance gotten any better in the past few months

[novel wave]

no

[craggy lava]

Apparently the endgame still sucks but a lot of the other issues (apart from A life) have been fixed

[uncut inlet]

A life hasnt been touched at all yet from what i hear

[craggy lava]

That’s what I’ve heard, it’s probably one of the most complex aspects of the game though

[neon temple]

no and gsc just keeps fumbling more and more

[proper cape]

Should I reinstall single player Tarkov

It was actually pretty fun last time I played lmao

[craggy lava]

No point asking, if you enjoyed it, reinstall it

[cobalt marsh]

I cant really say Ive had performance issues other than the occasional memory leak in a safe zone

Am I the outlier? lol

[vapid galleon]

[charred nova]

You’re probably on a 5090

[cobalt marsh]

Lol i wish. 4060ti 8g. Nothing special

[neon temple]

to be honest i have a 7900xt and also had no issues 💀

[strong sand]

The CPU matters more

[cobalt marsh]

I play at 3440x1440 with dlss on and settings to high. Never really had an issue

cpu is 13700k, which I guess could be considered high end but its far from top end

[still current]

Scam

[charred nova]

Yah i have no morals i will

[strong sand]

4090 is enough and you can just buy 5070Ti aka "4090 performance at $549"

[still current]

50series are wack, super crazy kind of scam

[charred nova]

That’s just bull shit bruh are you crazy

[strong sand]

I have seen it on TV!

[charred nova]

Believe it or not tv man lied

[craggy lava]

What do yall know about the GTX480

[subtle spindle]

its a 10 year old graphics card

[quartz anvil]

i once had a laptop with a 980m inside lol

[spare canopy]

That's with 4x frame generation, not actual rendered frames.

It's market spiel aimed at people who just don't fact check claims, watch knowledgable people like HW Unbocket, GamersNexus, LTT, and many others that point the lies and spin out.

So it's like comparing a Ford Fiest with a McLaren 720GT3 Evo, and claiming it can go just as fast because it has go faster strips.

[spiral cobalt]

As a 5070 Ti owner its honestly been great lol

Havent had any issues with it, and with it overclocked it can almost reach performance of the RTX 5080 which is pretty close to 4090 performance for 850 dollars less

the base 5070 being '4090 performance for 549' is a complete lie though

4x frame gen is actually pretty decent but its not the same as a native framerate at all

[spare canopy]

Drivers are shocking at the moment apparently.

[spiral cobalt]

I heard about all that, I did have one issue where my screen would just stay black after updating drivers but a simple hard restart of my PC fixed it just fine

[spare canopy]

It smooths out the image, but not the feel, and only really works when your frames are high enough to begin with.

[spiral cobalt]

For most games it feels fine until you go less than 45fps then it starts getting really unstable and if you move to fast the game will hitch

thats my experience at least

[spare canopy]

Exactly, so you need a high frame rate to begin with, then your just adding numbers at the cost of quality of image.

Upscaling is a cool tech though, as least that is a real frame increase. Pretty amazing how well that has got better over the years.

[spiral cobalt]

yeah true DLSS4 is absolutely insane

[spare canopy]

Heard good things about FSR 4 too

Seems like AMD are finally getting their act together

[charred nova]

The gpu the emitted 30 percent of its power draw as heat

Due to a bug in the hardware design

[craggy lava]

And yet my GPU is seemingly worse

[charred nova]

What’s your gpu

[craggy lava]

vega 8 😭😭😭

[timber moat]

Yo what do yall thimk of the stalker remasters?

[charred nova]

Well that’s your problem

Vega is ancient

And was never really good

[timber moat]

Im gonna play them on ps5 idk what to start out with

[oak junco]

The OGs are superior in every way

[timber moat]

Huh

Well thease are three games for free so im not complaining

[charred nova]

He can’t play em

[oak junco]

Oh yeah true

[charred nova]

Cus they’re not on ps5

[oak junco]

They got lotz

[charred nova]

I’m painfully reminded just now

I had to buy 93 this morning cus the gas station on the way to work was out of everything else

Mf

[timber moat]

So, witch one first? Call of prypiat, shadow of chernobyl or clear sky?

Shadow of chernobyl sounds crazy ngl

Like the title has the most aura ngl

[quartz anvil]

shadow of chernobyl then CS then COP

thats the order of things :p

[plucky pasture]

Why they putting more work into the new remaster instead of stalker 2

[timber moat]

Damn lmao from the sounds of it seems like stalker is just not doing too good right now huh?

[river chasm]

Brutal

[gusty mango]

hey so i got home and found i was removed from the stalker anomaly comunity server and wanted to know if anything happened to it (for the record i have sent a total of like 3 messages there so i probibly wasnt banned)

[timber moat]

Hold on i can mod my game on console?

Is GAMMA possible ny any chance??

[sacred obsidian]

wjat

[timber moat]

It says i can mod my game

Mods.io

[sacred obsidian]

mod.io?

[timber moat]

Yeah so? Whatd you think

[sacred obsidian]

i think it was mainly used to change textures and models

not for like scripts or anything

[cobalt fiber]

Mod.io mods on console are ass

Don't bother

[frigid hill]

strangerwiththebigiron has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cobalt fiber]

Yes

[craggy lava]

You get the point, even through the censorship

Mod.io is TERRIBLE

[alpine hill]

Ykw i appreciate gsc taking questions ngl

[cobalt fiber]

Using mod.io is like wiping your arse with your bare hands

[bleak drum]

@pine pagoda Where can I appeal for the warn removal or at lesast know how many I have left because I don't want to get banned I post a lot of memes and losing this discord server would make me loose a lot of things

Sorry for offtopic but I try to be on topic as possible and I just don't know where that comment would be ontopic

[cobalt fiber]

PM the member of staff who dished out the punishment as a first port of call, last resort would be reaching out to a GSC CM

A warning is a warning though and the likelihood of a successful appeal to remove it is slim dependant on the circumstances or severity

[charred nova]

You won’t get banned

We don’t ban people based on warns

Haven’t since like early 2022

[minor thicket]

guys im very stuck in lab x15 why am i fighting 3 wizards at once with a bunch of guns lying around

is there an actual strategy here

[cobalt marsh]

If you pick up the guns, the burers cant use them on you

Also load AP, wait for them to drop the psi shield, blast them. They actually go down quite fast once they drop thier shield

Oh and also the knife works well if you're brave, and they cant yank it from you

[bleak drum]

I got banned because of a warn and because I was uninformed, it was because I had a link to my channel when I didn't have content role so I got a warn and the bot banned me 😭

Thank god I got unbanned because someone actually helped me and talked with mods

[charred nova]

Well that must have been years ago

Cus we don’t do that anymore

[bleak drum]

Thank you! Great

[pine pagoda]

No worries man, warns are just a reminder of the rules, you won't be banned

[dapper rock]

Lampshading...
I hate it

[jolly shoal]

Getting banned for memes is hilarious

[timber moat]

Is the mp5 good in early game? Im playing soc

[craggy lava]

It’s not terrible

[timber moat]

It vs the db shotgun who wins?

Im super early game like i just started yk?

[craggy lava]

DB imo; but when you get to Streloks cache take his rifle

[timber moat]

I thimk you spoiled me bro🥲

[craggy lava]

It’s not a spoiler, it’s one of the first quests lol

[timber moat]

Huh? Okay then

[shell flax]

I tune into the server to chat and keep up with Stalker, I tune out for a bit after every update to just enjoy the game and what’s changed

Hell, I don’t know what happened in the back end but Combatant actually feels usable now

[bleak drum]

I do aknowledge that the release wasn't 10/10, the game isn't 10/10, yes they played on nostalgia and the game is still unfinished after 6 month but I want to be happy by the changes, I rememebr day 1 the game didn't even load while now I can play on Stable 30 fps, so there was a lot of work in the backend done, why I should be angry about good things?

[whole crest]

because youre excusing them

[light crag]

supports Stalker 2 mGPU ??

[bleak drum]

Or is it just social media like this nowadays? Since I have a yt channel where I try to pump as much as possible only 0.01% of comments are negative

[bleak drum]

I understand, they have no excuses but if we get full stalker done a year from now won't it be good?

[whole crest]

yes but they still made it and released it like this

even when they fix the game its still a disappointment compared to the originals

[shell flax]

Hold them accountable but don’t let it absolutely consume your mental state is my stance

[whole crest]

im not saying to "hate on good things" just dont be stupid and dont allow yourself to think theyre better now

[bleak drum]

True

At this point I feel like they hold me by my feelings since I am afraid that if Stalker 2 dies or becomes irrelevant Stalker as a universe will dissapear which is untrue

So, should I leave a negative review? Since this is what they deserve now

[whole crest]

what?

i dont think there needs to be a stalker 3

you dont need to run a franchise into the ground

[shell flax]

It’s your choice, in the end

[bleak drum]

My choice but what would be the better choice?

[shell flax]

There isn’t one lmao

[bleak drum]

It feels like they don't care about any negativity since most reviews are positive driven by nostalgia

[whole crest]

smh no link embedding anywhere

[bleak drum]

Updates come out but it doesn't look like they are trying to do them as fast as possible they are probably taking the time they need knowing we will buy the next DLCs when needed

And then the Multiplayer

[shell flax]

The sheer amount of fixes in each one tells me the opposite. Huge fixes like that aren’t just flipping a switch.

[bleak drum]

So what is really happening? At what stage are we? Are we thriving or losing? I was thinking we were wining but after so many negative comments I feel confused now

[shell flax]

Enhanced edition was a fat L I won’t sugar coat that, but 1.4 was a massive step in the right direction for 2

So good and bad

[light island]

I've been trying to get this for a while, I bought the ultimate edition on xbox on day 1, and can't find any way to get the OST and Digital artbook that also came with it. Anyway to get it at all??

[bleak drum]

True, and a lot of behind the scenes like I played from the start and now there is way less graphical bugs, crashes and other stuff I tought was "normal" but after replaying I feel like the game is "smooth" altought it isn't and its just running properly

[shell flax]

Separate app

It’ll be in the app section of games and apps

[bleak drum]

Okay so just look at it as is we have w and we have l's but that's it right?

[whole crest]

oh i didnt even know they delisted the originals wtf

[shell flax]

I adore this series since I got LoTZ and 2, been exploring the mods and the OGs on PC, so I celebrate the good and condemn the shit choices (Mataboo is a complete embarrassment and GDC should’ve vetted better)

[shell flax]

Comes free with EE and you can find the OGs on Google search for steam

[frigid hill]

geist0 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[whole crest]

yeah screw new gsc what a disappointment

My main complaint rn is that controller sensitivity got screwed in 2 but it should be fixed in the next hotfix apparently

Play OGSE instead

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1404

Hello Community - I had a hard time working on this new MOD, but it won't be my last one.
I really enjoy how ideas sometimes turn out to "just work".

This MOD has it's own DOF, so its a good choice to deactivate the build-in whithin the grafic-options!
Enjoy!

[cobalt fiber]

It baffles me how people get so upset and in their feels about this

But Bethesda do this shit every several years and it's GOTY talk

They even passed laziness with Oblivion remake off as "keeping the charm"

[stark crest]

whyd they remove the cnpp from pripyat skybox

[brave bloom]

Is there any news on mod support for Xbox? Havent played in awhile

[oak junco]

Cuz it's Russian

The enhanced editions are basically non canon fan recreations

[drifting forge]

1 year on Stoc today 🎉
Thank yall for the good times

[icy aurora]

I need help now, I think my game is broken or something
Skif is just eternally drunk? Like I made my first save file, then some stuff happened, then skif is like perma drunk, so I start a new save file, and quite literally as soon as I get into gameplay, he’s wobbling around drunk. I don’t understand

#❔┃seeking-for-advice is entirely dead so I’m asking here

Am I invisible or something

[dry siren]

that's just a feature

you walked into the alcoholism anomaly

[icy aurora]

It was cuz I set my controller deadzone to 0% which is cuz the sensitivity of aiming is so slow

[placid night]

so ironically they made ukraine responsible for chernobyl 👍

[high gazelle]

does anyone know when they are going to fix the crash when loading save games?

[weary hedge]

Hi

Should i start playing now ?, ive been waiting since the game came out

anyone know when xbox edition is getting mods

[fading parcel]

Would say, wait a bit more. Been progress with game stability and improvement but still has some things there could be better. At least, not buggy anymore as release day

[plucky pasture]

I didnt see any bugs, but i was waiting on a life and ray tracing

[minor badge]

Dont think it’s anytime soon

[heady yoke]

how?

[regal sinew]

Depends really, on how good you want your stalker 2 experience to be. There’s still issues with things like A-Life being almost non existent in the later areas of the game, apparently there is still some memory leak going on but they did sort out pretty much all of the bugs that could potentially soft lock your game, improvements to mutants and stalkers combat AI was the most recent update and some minor tweaks to A-Life and the spawning system which unfortunately still feels like it needs a decent amount of work done to it.

[lament pelican]

If your home is under attack who is using you to combat the attacker? Cmon, man

Dude, I'm from Kharkiv, chill

[willow mesa]

I bought Stalker 2 day one to support devs though ❤️

[lament pelican]

I'm dreaming about the future where I can't stop caring about politics, or at least dont check news every 5 minutes, but unfortunately it's a different reality here. If from your place of living this is all just seems like "using game in politics" you are a lucky man.

[craggy lava]

I think the in game censorship is made to big of a deal, if they want to remove USSR insignia it’s their choice. Do I like it? Nah. Do I respect it and understand it? Yeah.

I live in an ex colony myself and the decolonisation process is a lot more difficult than a lot of people let on.

[sturdy verge]

I really hope people start making decent mods on steam instead of some troll mod that doesn't work what a waste

[scenic ice]

Lmao is it true they used AI upscaling for the remasters

[mossy pendant]

Wtf there is Hungarian text in Clear Sky EE but don't turn on default why? Are you guys hate Hungary or what?

[weary hedge]

What are you talking about?

[neon temple]

I mean it's really not hard to be pissed off at them, i have no love for russia myself, but what gsc is doing right now is exceedingly dumb, re-release old games ,pack them with bad ai upscaling, more bugs and increase their price 💀

not to mention them removing a lot of soviet and russian memorabilia,iconsography and so on, which is in the end very fundemental to the games/zone , and to the actual irl chernobyl/pripyat, it's part of history, and the original games in no way glorified it, quite the opposite too

so what gsc is doing right now is just historically revisionism that's getting dangerously close to what the russians have been doing for the past few decades 💀

OMG finally it didnt get caught

[sturdy verge]

I seen one mod that doesn't do f all just some mod to say f to gsc

[neon temple]

nope

[sturdy verge]

[craggy lava]

I ain’t played stalker 2 yet

[neon temple]

when it costs 20usd you should try it 💀

[scenic ice]

Cause like, my breaking point was getting stuck in an auto save with a bunch of dudes in the same room that were invincible and also one shot me

[sturdy verge]

Idk i haven't played it for quite awhile as I overplayed it 😅

[neon temple]

yeah, a lot of stuff arguably, but it's still very rough 💀

[vapid galleon]

[vapid galleon]

dlc when

[high gazelle]

nice, blocked is back

[scenic ice]

Man still very rough sounds like “Save 110 gigs and just play metro”

[neon temple]

[sturdy verge]

Was thinking that

[neon temple]

or play the ACTUAL original games

[vapid galleon]

Is the chat yours? if you dont want, dont talk to me

[sturdy verge]

Welcome to bipolar chat where one second its this and one second its that

[vapid galleon]

I haven't played the game since January, the game has changed and improved?

[scenic ice]

Nah I heard they’re kinda ass on Xbox

[neon temple]

oh yeah

[scenic ice]

The metro games are not

[neon temple]

arguably, yes

enough? no

[vapid galleon]

what did they add

[mossy pendant]

Hey @young magnet Can you hire me for make official Hungarian language?

[sturdy verge]

Oh lord here we go again circle back to metro lol 😆 😂

[neon temple]

patches and bug fixes that's about it

[sturdy verge]

Same shit everyday I swear

[scenic ice]

Man if metro wasn’t just this game but better I wouldn’t talk about it

[vapid galleon]

I was talking about new content, is it only patchs?

[neon temple]

yea

[sturdy verge]

362 results of metro mentioned in here

[vapid galleon]

so bad

[smoky hawk]

Ehh, I mean, I wouldn't call exodus ass, but bad yhea

[neon temple]

it took them like half a year to make a roadmap bro

expecting actual content is wild 😭

[high gazelle]

i thought hungry already had an offical language?

[mossy pendant]

in the past when clear sky get out was

[scenic ice]

Meh disagree, the story is very Ukrainian English writing but at least the moment to moment stuff is fun

[vapid galleon]

yes, I think same. Exodus is really bad but old Metro games 🤌 💯 peak

[smoky hawk]

Slovenian?

[scenic ice]

Not walking into a random direction and getting a face full of glass fun but still fun

[sturdy verge]

What is usually the average time for road maps being available for other games?

[vapid galleon]

[smoky hawk]

Gameplay and levels sucked, the story was mid and flat asf, wasted good potential to do post appoc references

[scenic ice]

1/3 ain’t bad, I liked Caspian

[smoky hawk]

Caspian was the worst

[mossy pendant]

@high gazelle even S2 dosen't get it

[smoky hawk]

It was a big big desert of nothing with boring filler enemies and awful controlling trucks

simply, awful

[neon temple]

usually good single player games dont need a post release roadmap 💀

[scenic ice]

Man thank god my whole life doesn’t hinge on that opinion

[neon temple]

but for example kcd2 had the roadmap even before release 💀

[sturdy verge]

Yeah that's why I'm asking

Cause I have no idea as I don't play a lot of games

[neon temple]

most games dont need an official roadmap

but the ones that do usually have it at or close to release 💀

maybe not patches but at least dlcs 💀

[sturdy verge]

Aye

[scenic ice]

Speaking of roadmaps we finally got that monster hunter collab announced

[neon temple]

yeah, there was a "need" for a roadmap because the game was so broken and in such a poor state that players demanded "something"

[scenic ice]

Man reminds me of techland and dying light 2

[sturdy verge]

Never cared for it tbh them roadmaps

[neon temple]

i mean it was like

people wanted to know the game was being worked on and what was actually done to adress the issues

[sturdy verge]

Yeah of course

[neon temple]

people werent desperate for a roadmap with like kcd2 or bg3

[neon temple]

but they didnt have to be desperate, because the games/companies delivered almost instantly

[scenic ice]

BG3 is like the perfect game

[sturdy verge]

Only time I ever been disappointed in a game was a game called days gone many years ago and that's because of some thing they didn't end up doing

And spent a good amount on that game

[scenic ice]

The only thing cool about days gone was Sam Witwer

[sturdy verge]

And for the life of me I cannot even remember what but they changed their mind and many people were disappointed.

Could have been that open world thing back then idk

Hello. I don't know where to write, guys from steam hub suggest to write GSC from discord. Official GSC support just use standart answers...
https://steamcommunity.com/app/4500/discussions/0/567001900927508757/
This is my topic.
I have bought stalker game from steam at 2012 year via webmoney. From the original developer and game publisher GSC. I live in Ukraine, but steam give me game from CIS RU region. Now this game is deleted from steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4830/
Only HUB left.
Clearly i did not Get Enchanced version cuz i have very old game at account. Plz can you ask someone about my problem. I have purchased stalker 1 in my library, i want get enchanced version too...
p.s. Also i ask from discord bot, but still no answer.

[craggy lava]

Could’ve asked in #📜┃ask-gsc , I don’t think they read this channel at all

[manic island]

Already did that and did not receive answer :c

idk why but i think hotfix 1.4.2 will solve 5 problems and create 10 more

[high gazelle]

thats programming 101

like tf2 that hada pineapple jpeg in a dir, the devs deleted it and the game wouldnt run...

or maybe it was lhl2..

[cursive kettle]

if it works, don't touch it

[gusty nexus]

"nft"

[silent valve]

*yawn

is it considered to fix the NPC bug, that NPC's are shooting at you and hit you even you are behind cover and also that throwing nades at you are always 100% hits?

also that sideway moving of NPC's and animals are very hard to hit, not to say impossible, no matter how far you aim in advance?

[tranquil vine]

Silly question, but is there a point to holding onto quest items like PDA's and notes after they have lost their "checkmark"?

[craggy lava]

No

[tranquil vine]

Even named items?

[craggy lava]

I don’t think so? Skif’s pistol is an exception

[silent valve]

Thats a bug for me itself. Why I cant drop Skifs pistol in my stash and use another (better) one?

[halcyon karma]

You use it in cutscenes, so you can't drop it. But I think that's stupid

[tranquil vine]

To clarify, i'm specifically asking about things like the Unusual PDA, research documents with unique names attached to them. I'm just paranoid about being locked out of dialogue options

[silent valve]

There are other games on the markets with similar scenes and they dont care about a fixed display setup

[halcyon karma]

You can drop them.

Every file remains saved in the notes tab.

[silent valve]

Better sell them

[craggy lava]

You might as well keep it, it’s OP against burers

[tranquil vine]

[silent valve]

Against burers? If use a RAM-2 for every kind of mutant w/o any issues

[craggy lava]

Burers can’t take away skif’s pistol though

[silent valve]

Correct, but if you shot one twice at the beginning and hide behind something, their blue halo appears and as soon as the humming disappears I finish them with another 2 shells.

[craggy lava]

Probably a skill issue from me, ngl

[silent valve]

Do you know if theres a signature M10 somewhere to find? Like the battering ram shot gun e.g.

I have nearly every single weapon found as a signature one, aside of M10 and Groza

[flint plover]

Welp, decided to give 1.4 a try. This has got to be a joke. Enemy NPCs STILL can't render past 125m without mods?!?! Ffs we are in 2025 this is insane.

I give up lol. I guess I'll try again when they release modding tools and people who know how to dev can dev lol.

[whole crest]

unreal 5 babyyyyy

[sharp gulch]

they dont render past 100m+ even with mods, since no one has been able to extend that range

[gaunt pawn]

It's a feature. Skif has cataracts

[oak junco]

Everyone in the zone needs glasses fr

[vestal dagger]

And they aren’t fixing console sensitivity this week which makes the game pretty much unplayable the same issue that was at launch hotfix my ass

[regal sinew]

That’s unfortunate tbh but they have a fair bit on their plate atm, need to remember this isn’t R* or any other larger studio, GSC is relatively small compared. Just give them time to cook, they’re working on both s2 and the EEs, granted they shouldn’t have to be fixing stuff related to the EEs but that’s what happens when you outsource your projects, sometimes..

[gloomy citrus]

Have you seen his face?

[quaint umbra]

If I wasn't forced to turn FSR on to make it less blurry I wouldn't need glasses!

[vestal dagger]

I’m not trying to compare them to any other dev but they shouldn’t have bitten off more than they can chew if that’s the case they still haven’t fixed Stalker2 and now I don’t know if they have a different dev team working on the trilogy but if not they shouldn’t have released it now they will need to work on both splitting their team

[slow crypt]

GSC isn't the one handling this, it's actually a secondary studio they paid (and basically forced to release this poorly made port in record time to bring in more money from new players). Also, it's not really a small studio, only if you compare it to a multinational, which doesn't make much sense.

By the way, Mataboo, the company in charge, is Polish, so I don’t know why it says ‘Made in Ukraine’

[regal sinew]

Do you think GSC has no say in what an outsourced company does with their product? Of course they’re gonna have input, be it probably minor but still. Why doesn’t it make sense to compare one dev studio to another? They both do the same thing, anyway, it wasn’t a comparison, just stating GSC is not as massive a studio as a few of the other ones out there.

But then you have 1 man dev studios too so…

[slow crypt]

I never said they had no influence, and when I talked about comparing studios, I meant that GSC isn’t as small as you want to make it seem. You talk about them like they’re an indie studio to justify the crap they produce.

[ornate mirage]

they literally have like >200 employees how is that not big

[slow crypt]

There are fewer and fewer ways to justify it, and it's starting to show.

[regal sinew]

Comparing it to the likes of R*, Bethesda etc, that’s small number mayng.

[slow crypt]

Compare it with the teams behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and 2, Sons of the Forest, Expedition 33.

[ornate mirage]

bethesda has ~500 employees

[regal sinew]

That’s still 300 odd of a difference though?

[slow crypt]

brhu

[craggy lava]

Plus Bethesda is maybe 5 times as big? They only have 2.5 times as many employees

[slow crypt]

Serious question, do you really think GSC is a small studio and that’s why the game turned out the way it did? Do you guys even play video games?

[ornate mirage]

the practical difference between, say, 10 and 100 is bigger than between 100 and 200

gsc still is a pretty big studio, most of its failings come from what i suspect to be a totally fuсked internal structure

[craggy lava]

I agree with what you’re saying, but employees isn’t an accurate measurement of how big they are

[slow crypt]

Well, if we’re talking about the supposed budget, that doesn’t exactly make them look like a small studio either...

[craggy lava]

Budget is the more accurate measurement

[regal sinew]

No, I think it turned out this way because the game was being developed in a country that was actively at war, I think they also got pressured by Microsoft to push it out as fast as they could without much testing. I also think that them trying to do both pc and console at the same time is the main reason the A-Life shat itself and is now kinda borked.

[slow crypt]

yea praga in war

[slow crypt]

That’s what I’m saying they had the same kind of budget that was spent on Fallout 4, Days Gone, Tarkov, etc.

[regal sinew]

They weren’t always in Prague though.

[slow crypt]

Three months, according to official reports, now you're just looking for excuses for the sake of it.

[ornate mirage]

wouldnt it be the opposite
pay differs between regions and countries, and the number of people working would be a more reliable account

[slow crypt]

Nothing, I was just curious.

[charred nova]

Rebel reference

[slow crypt]

This summer I’m going to visit him in the so-called Venezuelan dictatorship.

[regal sinew]

And you don’t think this would have disrupted a lot of their work no? Having to move, plus, wasn’t it their lead writer or something that died during the war? I think that might have had some impact, not only for the games development but morale around their offices too.. I’m not “making excuses” for them, just saying.

[slow crypt]

A community manager already lied back then on Reddit, saying the last delay was because they thought they would make it on time but realized they wouldn’t. Of course, it’s been half a year and it’s still not even finished.

[ornate mirage]

broooo 😭 😭

[charred nova]

[slow crypt]

[craggy lava]

If I left a car in the street with an Albanian and an Irishman, would the Albanian manage to Hotwire it before the Irishman blows it up?

Im irish by the way, I think I’d win

[slow crypt]

Probably a Romanian you haven’t seen yet already stole it.

[craggy lava]

Only parts of Eastern Europe I’ve been to were in Albania, the people there were really nice

[slow crypt]

Actually, nowadays Romania, Albania, Poland, etc., are safer and friendlier than France, Italy, or Spain

[charred nova]

[craggy lava]

Nah, they’re about the same IMO

[craggy lava]

Soon (tm)

[charred nova]

The uk is crumbling now’s your chance

[slow crypt]

Not really, I’ll just tell you that I speak Spanish, but 40% of the people I meet in Barcelona don’t

[abstract hatch]

Thats bs

[abstract hatch]

You didn't always speak spanish, that's some double standards you have there

[craggy lava]

We when I’m trying to be subtly racist:

[abstract hatch]

I live in Ireland and most of my fellow romanians speak fk all english and i have to translate for everyone, then i get sht from the irish for having a british accent

[craggy lava]

That sucks man, lots of Ireland is full of assholes unfortunately

Ireland would be nowhere without foreign workers because our own workforce is very small

[abstract hatch]

Don't get me wrong i never had a problem because im romanian, only had problems because of my accent but i kinda get it, you know, with the whole british occupation thing and whatnot

[slow crypt]

huh?

[wanton gazelle]

The woes of an European. While I'm here thinking where to acquire the cheapest suppressor.

[abstract hatch]

Did you speak Spanish when you first got to spain? Or if you were born there, did your parents speak spanish when they moved there?

[slow crypt]

We learned Spanish before leaving, and now I almost speak Catalan/Spanish better than Romanian since I’m not usually one of those who speak their language behind others' backs.

The thing is, in Barcelona they don’t know how to communicate with you, they’ve been here for 5 years and haven’t even made the minimum effort, despite immigrant schools existing like the one my parents went to.

[abstract hatch]

Not everyone has the same possibilities, when people struggle to make ends meet they could care less about learning a whole new language, only reason we romanians are able to learn it faster is because it's a latin language, same goes for italian

[craggy lava]

Yeah I get the idea this isn’t the place to talk about immigration politics

[slow crypt]

I literally live in a socialist country, they give them houses, money based on the number of children, you see them with iPhones, you ask for directions and they say ‘no Spanish’.

[abstract hatch]

I just hate it when immigrants are angry with immigration

[slow crypt]

Could it be because they make us look bad here?

Not all immigration is good just because it’s immigration. Whether they are from Africa, Romania, or Morocco etc...

[abstract hatch]

Isn't marocco in Africa?

[craggy lava]

We when I’m wrong and racist:

[slow crypt]

It would be xenophobia in any case. brhu

[craggy lava]

Immigration ain’t easy for anybody, let’s not hold people to our own standards

[abstract hatch]

Word

[craggy lava]

We all do things differently

[slow crypt]

My standard is that they should adapt to where they come to live if they are given the quality of life; I don’t see what’s controversial about that, to be honest.

[craggy lava]

Some people don’t have the time nor the facility to do so

Especially those seeking refuge from conflict or persecution

[slow crypt]

In Spain, yes, that’s what I’m saying—it’s not like the rest of Europe.

[vivid obsidian]

They did?

I didn't heard about it

You mean this?

• Fixed issues with missing geometry on several levels

[craggy lava]

Yup

[tacit jay]

It's so funny that was the tipping point because the base changes that lotz did are still there.

It's why I view the outrage on all of this to be disingenuous. But who cares.

[vivid obsidian]

I wouldn't mind GSC using some existing mods as a base point

There a mods for all the series to fix a ton of bugs like ZRP (SOC), SRP (CS), PRP (COP)
there are mods that upscale textures like Absolute Structures
and plenty more for anything you can wish
for while making the game still vanilla on a surface level

And somehow they still messed it up
Using AI, having more bugs than before, everything is blurry. and unbearable performance on high end machines
like max settings 1080 gets you around 40 fps on a high end machine

people like to say: "But the OGs also had bugs they are going to fix them"
The original game bugs are from lack of funding and just in doors problems
This enhanced edition is just for being lazy

[charred nova]

And for cop it’s got a full open X-ray port

Which fixed basically every bug in the game

[spring acorn]

I really don't understand who was demanding a remaster of the original 3 stalker games, all of them have mods that overhaul the experience in every way imaginable. If they were full remakes or if even one of the 3 was remade with modern tech that would be a different story but this just seems pointless

[still edge]

i still laugh about the GSC excuse the made back when the game released "Alife is broken thats why is not working"
.... YEA! my unexistent mansion in florida is broken thats why you cant see it

[neon temple]

"It's not working because it's not working" 🗣️

[dapper rock]

IX-Ray better
I LOVE IX-RAY

[plain star]

Henlo im stuck at CNPP pls help

[manic remnant]

Respawning enemies isn’t fixed then? Just had 20 pseudo dogs reappear 2 minutes after killing then all…. great patch!

[still current]

How come?

You are not stuck

It's just endgame

I'm assuming it's SoC

[plain star]

Im not doing any quest

im playing Stalker 2

[still current]

Huh?

[plain star]

im at CNPP and dont know where the exit is

[still current]

Can we even get to CNPP in S2? used any means to go there?

[plain star]

Anomaly express took me there (got sent flying by an anomaly and landed there)

[sharp gulch]

Are you on PC or Xbox?

[plain star]

Its pc

Some places in cnpp get me insta killed by radiation

So idk wich way to go

[still current]

You serious hahaha

Teleport anomaly or what?

Guess you gotta load save back

[plain star]

it was the Bubble looking anomaly (not the toxic one) that usually kills the player
Ive been exploring for some hours this place and killed some npcs and got some kinda good loot lol

But do you know or have any idea of how can i just get out of there?

All doors seems to be locked

[hardy totem]

yeah I've seen someone get launched from the garbage to the chemical plant

[charred nova]

X-ray

[plain star]

Even NPCs are dying from that lol

One dies, another tryes to loot the body and dies too

[still current]

You took the sky Uber ig

Hehe go back to a previous save lmao

You accidentally tapped into a locked area

Dlc reserved, potentially

[plain star]

oh okay, i guess theres no way out lol, that explains the radiation, imma load a previous save then, ty

[minor thicket]

how do i put attachments on my gun i have a scope that says it is compatible with my rhino and it wont go on it, i have installed a scope mount on it aswell

nevermind the mount didnt save

[alpine hill]

yo guys stalker is on sale right now on steam

20% off

[minor thicket]

thank you i will tell all my friends and family so i can put them on peak

[solar raven]

This game is boring 😔

I just found that out after 100 hours of enjoyment

I'mma wait for the DLCs

[sharp gulch]

you can download console enabler mods and just no clip out

[viscid spruce]

So, it says they GSC asked Steam to unlist Shadow of Chernobyl from the Steam store so it doesn’t appear on searches.
…..Why??

[tight forge]

I feel like a stalker when i stash my energy drinks

[vivid obsidian]

They are also porting SOC and CS to it (But it's in progress)

[charred nova]

Yah hope that works out

[vivid obsidian]

I heard that if you buy the Enhanced Edition you still get the OGs ones
if so it doesn't matter really

[worldly lion]

im looking for the normal SoC in the steam page but i dont see it

did they remove it?

[vivid obsidian]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4500/STALKER_Shadow_of_Chernobyl/

You need to search in Google
in steam it's blocked

[worldly lion]

its ok i forgot i had it in my cart lol

anyways do i also gt the enhanced version when i buy the OG or is it seperate

yes i do

[vivid obsidian]

I'm not sure

I think it's both ways

[worldly lion]

it does

i bought the game and now i also have "enhanced" version

[vivid obsidian]

nice

[worldly lion]

oh cool there is a mod that stops the ai upscaling

heck yea

[vivid obsidian]

Ignore the title
Looks how good this looks

[coral spire]

Hey so quick question, I've been playing stalker soc on ps5, and I've done some research and there seems to be a very important moding scene, am I just shafted on ps?

Like, there is mod support on ps5 but atm there is like 13 mods, mostly just texture changes, what are the chances that there will be more usefull mods in the future?

[vivid obsidian]

The moding scene is strong on PC

[vapid galleon]

[worldly lion]

i mean steam workshop just got added so itll take some time for the big modders to port their mods into workshop

[uncut hollow]

That's true

[coral spire]

Is it steam? I think it's mod.io or something like that, is it a subset of steam or something?

[worldly lion]

nah it moddb

its a whole diffrent website

[uncut inlet]

you love those 2 screenshots don't you?

[uncut inlet]

lmao

[ebon blade]

These are my two favorite Bandits, in the whole Stalker 2 world.

[uncut inlet]

best written characters in the game

[ebon blade]

The Slag Heap Bandits have the most unique Bandit characters in the zone.

[peak oracle]

god the enhanced edition REEKS

[uncut inlet]

reeks of ai

[peak oracle]

reeks of absolutely lazyness

[uncut inlet]

i wonder why they couldnt add them to zaton

[proper cape]

https://x.com/LumpyTheCook/status/1925609631797166435?t=IE_TYF6-odD09Uc8pMxUlw&s=09

[uncut inlet]

atleast they added back some of what they censored

[proper cape]

what did they add back?

[peak oracle]

glad that it was gifted to me for owning the trilogy but thank u im not going to install it any time soon

[uncut inlet]

new patch yeah

[proper cape]

yeah but what specifically

[uncut inlet]

the lenin sign

[frigid hill]

bornana_69420 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[peak oracle]

the concrete sign near chernobyl

[proper cape]

screw the virtue signaling devs anyways

as I said a couple days ago, im embarassed to be pro Ukrainian alongside these idiots

they are probably turning atleast a few people against the cause

[peak oracle]

also i saw that they removed some songs too

[uncut inlet]

yeah

[proper cape]

again its like a wolfenstein game with no nazis

[peak oracle]

live to forget

[proper cape]

why have they come to this conclusion that portraying something means you endorse it?

[peak oracle]

because russian bad

[frigid hill]

bornana_69420 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[proper cape]

I mean Russia IS bad but removing all references to the country existing is just weird

[peak oracle]

at least they didnt have the audacity to remove cheeki breeki iv damke voice line with the complete removal of russian localization

[proper cape]

hot take

[uncut inlet]

they did remove it

[proper cape]

Russian localization should not have been removed

[peak oracle]

nah the line is still there but the localization is gone

[proper cape]

its hurting ordinary Russian people, not the government

[uncut inlet]

cheeki breeki is gone from what i heard

[proper cape]

and just comes off as a petty virtue signal

[peak oracle]

its still in the game, it would be a huge mistake to do it

[uncut inlet]

interesting

[peak oracle]

removing that line is like replacing artyom's bullet lighter with a normal looking lighter

[proper cape]

also I posted this but like

now you are just shooting other Ukrainians, and it also implies that Chornobyl was Ukraines fault

[peak oracle]

pretty much that

[uncut inlet]

@proper cape #🤨┃stalker_memes message

[peak oracle]

i guess they wanted the full credit for the whole tragedy instead of blaming the USSR as a whole

[proper cape]

I actually have a computer from the year that happened lmao

Tandy 1000 running DOS 2.11

surprisingly fun to use

[peak oracle]

asides of the blatant censorship, the anti aliasing and AI texture filter is...

[uncut inlet]

@ebon blade #🤨┃stalker_memes message

[proper cape]

imagine a WW2 game but they remove all references to Nazi Germany and you are just shooting other allies

which would also imply that the allies did all the atrocities commited by Germany and Japan at the time

[uncut inlet]

#🤨┃stalker_memes message

[proper cape]

why do you lkeep linking to that channel im confused

[uncut inlet]

im linking to a specific image in that channel as i do not have image perms

[proper cape]

ah ok

[plain mantle]

there isnt any type of hunting bow in any of the stalker games right? i just though it would be very fun 2 kill people with a bow ngl

[uncut inlet]

no, but it would be very impractical

[plain mantle]

i mean, explosive arrows would be something very funny 2 play

[charred nova]

exploding bullets would be even better

[uncut inlet]

dragons breath pelets

[plain mantle]

that would be 2 op

[oak junco]

Fr

[uncut inlet]

see but this would only work with humans, since mutants are unnecessarily tanky

[oak junco]

Gtao with explosive sniper rounds was based

[plain mantle]

rust reference

[plain mantle]

then stun arrows to calm the mutants and make them lose the agro

[charred nova]

they call me rust

[oak junco]

[uncut inlet]

i think shocking mutants would make them more angry

[plain mantle]

i mean, i think this is the first survival y play without a bow, as i think the stealth is not really matter in this game becouse when u start 2 get supresors for ur weapons u are alr overpower

[uncut inlet]

only weapon you need is skifs pistol

way too overpowered

[plain mantle]

true, and its cheap asf 2 repair

[uncut inlet]

ammo is cheap, 2 taps exo, barely gets damaged, burers cant take it

[plain mantle]

it just need a better scope

[uncut inlet]

no reason to use any other gun

way too accurate too

for what it is too

[plain mantle]

but meh, i think this game would work 2 with weapons that doesnt use bullets, am talking about bolts, granade launchers, more throwables

[plain mantle]

nah end game is imposivle with it

10 shots 2 the head 2 kill someone into an exo

[uncut inlet]

yeah skifs pistol can 2 tap exo

[lost needle]

Whos the guy who did a skifs pistol only run

[plain mantle]

no way

[uncut inlet]

i am telling you ive been using it as my main sidearm, it is more powerful than you think

[plain mantle]

i used it has sidearm for my hole run 2 (75 hours rn) and i feel is powerfull

[uncut inlet]

only reason to use another weapon is shotgun for mutants, and sniper for long range

[plain mantle]

but i prefear 2 use other weapons ngl, at some point in the game it just doesnt make damage

[plain mantle]

i think u like the pm a lil bit hahaha

[lost needle]

I used the spitfire my whole plsythrough

[uncut inlet]

fair but you cant get rid of it either, so i just stick with it, so there is no incentive to use any other pistol

[lost needle]

Not cause its good, but because of the strelok supremacy

[uncut inlet]

i dont like it, i just have no reason to use any other firearm

mac10 can be used as an automatic sidearm, but i have no need because skifs pistol is just that good

and again i cant get rid of it

[plain mantle]

sidearm are for very short range, i dont think u can beat the hole game only with the skif pistol

[uncut inlet]

no need to use the rhino, no need to use the other pistol

[plain mantle]

with 13 bullets per mag and a suppresor that looks like a can of beans

[uncut inlet]

you wont be killing any pseudogiants but it will kill every human with ease

[plain mantle]

-u find it almost in endgame
-very expensive 2 upgrade and repair
-expensive bullets

[uncut inlet]

plus you cant get rid of it

[plain mantle]

no reasons for using that, unless u need a sniper sidearm

[uncut inlet]

why should i use another gun if i cant get rid of mine

[plain mantle]

i still dont know how can u 2 tap exos ngl

for me it takes like 5 or 6, and dont tell me i have skill issue becouse i am hearing i am hitting them

[uncut inlet]

idk what to tell you i can 2 tap exos on veteran

[plain mantle]

maybe it is becouse am ussing the cheapest ammo right?

[uncut inlet]

unless my game is bugged you can 2 tap exos

[uncut inlet]

i stick to regular ammo, because its everywhere

i dont change ammo type, i just use whats available

[lost needle]

Rhino is uneccesary

Skifs pistol does well enough

And you got a primary to do the job that the rhino is supposed to do

[uncut inlet]

Thats what i said

Literally no reason to use any other sidearm

[charred nova]

the apsb

is the only other one worth using

as its just a better skifs pistol

[tacit jay]

No they didn't

[charred nova]

yah

this is true they did not remove it

that was fake news

[tacit jay]

So many lies about the EE when there is plenty to dislike lmfao

[charred nova]

all y'all got punked

[river moth]

10/10 ragebait I'm fuming from my nose and ears

[hidden tinsel]

But why use two bullet when 1 big bullet do trick

[river moth]

Yes, a single 9x39 HP round from a rhino

[tacit jay]

Why use bullet at all when knife work just as well

[oak junco]

Why use a knife when a fist works and doesnt dull

[tacit jay]

can't use fists in stalker I don't think

[oak junco]

There are gloves you can use to punch in op2.2

[tacit jay]

lmfao

I think we should be able to box people in Stalker 2, that'd be great

[oak junco]

Gsc please add this

[tacit jay]

give em the ole mike tyson one two then bite their ear

[oak junco]

me boxing ward members

[forest scarab]

I wonder, if it's gonna get a bigger discount on the steam summer sale

[indigo star]

Where can I post my Livestream?

[ashen flare]

Whats the big holler about the new stalker update?

[ebon blade]

[mental dove]

This might be a dumb question but like

How do I kill anomalys? Like im playing clear sky and it tells me that my detector can detect artifacts inside anomalies
