[sterile radish]

or something like the psz

yeahh, that tends to happen while upgrading exoskeletons..

[unreal basin]

Uh, leaving Lesser Zone in my new playthrough, and I have over 40k coupons already

[vestal pine]

it not an exo tho

[sterile radish]

which seva or armor

[vestal pine]

its a science suit

[sterile radish]

ssp discovery?

[vestal pine]

the one u get from the first village in lesser

[unreal basin]

I think I realize why only some vendors are set to be able to buy ref quality items

[sterile radish]

or the ssp-99

[unreal basin]

There’s a Seva in Zalissya?

[sterile radish]

nevermind. I think you ||get a seva after that one mission in late game where you have to defend zalissya during the monolithan attack||

[unreal basin]

Considering going AR and longgun for my loadout for my current playthrough atm

[sterile radish]

416 or sum’n else?

[unreal basin]

Been able to get decent headshots with my Fora on mutants with BB

[sterile radish]

ah

[vestal pine]

im scared its just gonna get instantly outclassed

[unreal basin]

Found a Fora on one if the Bandits that attack Leshy if you don’t

[vestal pine]

i maxed out the ssp,and then just maxed out ssp but better

not even maxed lol

[unreal basin]

I’m gonna rock Freedom stuff fir my current playthrough, gonna do Skif’s ending

[sterile radish]

[unreal basin]

When I do my Strelok ending playthrough gonna main Monolith armor post Sircca

[sterile radish]

use it til mid game. stronger enemies wearing exo’s tend to appear during late

[vestal pine]

freedom best faction,they do weed

[sterile radish]

is that supposed to be beneficial

[dry siren]

bandits best faction, they do fenya

[unreal basin]

I’ve never done Richter’s Zallissya mission before today, IPSF guards weren’t expecting me with the Fora after knocking out Soldr

[vestal pine]

well never shows it in any games,and not in gamma either

but freedom found doing weed in gamma and the trilogy

[dry siren]

bandits speak fenya

[sterile radish]

stalkers best faction, they do pda’s

[dry siren]

it is a dialect, thieves' language

[vestal pine]

stalker aint even a faction tho lol

[unreal basin]

Hmm, keep the Toz or swap it for the Three-Line at the Detention center?

[dry siren]

loners are

[sterile radish]

wasnt it considered a faction during the trilogy like cs

[vestal pine]

oh. thought u mispelled fent

[dry siren]

KEEP TOZ KEEP TOZ

[sterile radish]

yes

[unreal basin]

Why?

[vestal pine]

dont. mosins sell for a lot

[dry siren]

it is beneficial

[vestal pine]

and they cheap to repair.

[unreal basin]

I have over 40k coupons atm

[dry siren]

i joined bandits in ЧС to listen to cool music and rob morons

[fierce nexus]

I have 120k

[unreal basin]

I now see why vendors cant buy broken guns in vanilla

[fierce nexus]

[sterile radish]

ragman can

[dry siren]

honor amongst crooks

[unreal basin]

My current playthrough isn’t even over 2 hours

[dry siren]

i dont get why people hate clear sky, it is my favorite of all of them

[sterile radish]

seriously

[unreal basin]

But yeah, I sold Hamster I’m pretty sure was 29 red quality aks at some point today

[vestal pine]

i have just aquired the satanic rhino for the first time

[dry siren]

yes

only because i can join bandits

[sterile radish]

one of my favorites out of the trilogy

[dry siren]

as a bandit, i dont have to brush my teeth or clean my room unlike cough cough duty cough cough

[vestal pine]

why sell to hampter? he scam

[unreal basin]

Only Vendor I had access to at the time

[vestal pine]

"one of" bruh there only 3

[sterile radish]

I know

[dry siren]

trilogy = three

[fierce nexus]

Pseudogiants are infuriating

[dry siren]

you are clearly freedom, always high

[unreal basin]

I literally paused my playthrough fir the day after the first emission

[vestal pine]

ngl i like freedom most cus in gamma u start mid game

[dry siren]

but you dont wear cool trenchcoats and trackpants

[dry siren]

i'll drink to that

[vestal pine]

makes it the easiest luck based soft lock ive ever been thru in a game... 12 saves to get good footing

[sterile radish]

I encountered 2 in the duga

[vestal pine]

THERES 2 IN THE DUGA???!!

[sterile radish]

yes, in one location

[vestal pine]

but im heading there now....

[unreal basin]

I hate the one with the cats in Pripyat

[fierce nexus]

I'm fighting one on the edge of Pripiat

[sterile radish]

its in like the back, dont worry

[sterile radish]

at the scientist bunkers by the little checkpoint?

[fierce nexus]

Yes

[sterile radish]

thy ||texan’s there ||

I wonder how much .45 it would take to beat a pseudogiant..

[unreal basin]

Oh yeah found a 1911 in Lesser Zone this playthrough, its my current Loud sidearm

I’m probably not gonna keep Decider this playthrough

[vestal pine]

isnt it like super easy to rush to the nighthawk 1911?

[fierce nexus]

I hadn't found it yet, but i didn't get a chance to look around

[vestal pine]

me?

[unreal basin]

I meant a non unique one

[sterile radish]

you mean the night stalker

[unreal basin]

Burnt Forrest

[vestal pine]

ITS A NIGHTAWK 1911......

[sterile radish]

no

[vestal pine]

but am rootin tooting shooting texan

[unreal basin]

Its in 9x19….

[vestal pine]

yeah well gambit exists too. so counterargument the game is kinda dumb

[unreal basin]

A 1911 not in 45. Is a negative

[sterile radish]

yes

[vestal pine]

and double counter argument rhino exists... even worse now that i have it in my characters hands. makes this game feel like fortnite how unrealistic it is

[unreal basin]

I like the Rhino

[sterile radish]

a python in the game would be rad

[fierce nexus]

Found it in the lab, but still got my ass kicked

[vestal pine]

yeah well the rhino is half "python" and "raging bull" (so much so the devs were dum enough to make the gun have 2 entirely different cylinder releases)

[sterile radish]

mhm..

[vestal pine]

make me rage

[sterile radish]

why am I still here, I need to take duga pictures

[vestal pine]

worse than fallout 4 assault rifle

[unreal basin]

What’s wrong with the devs having fun designing weapons

[vestal pine]

that would make more sense then this

[dry siren]

take militia station pictures, best place in the game

[unreal basin]

False, nothing is worse than that thing

[sterile radish]

will do

[vestal pine]

bc some guns are almost perfect? they trying to be realistic here

[dry siren]

in second microdistrict of pripyat

MVD building, previously used by GAI and militia before the accident

[unreal basin]

Where was that ever stated

[sterile radish]

yeah, after duga I’m planning on taking more prypiat photos. will ping you after I’m finished

[unreal basin]

Stalker’s never been realistic

[vestal pine]

even tho skiffs pistol does more damage than deadeye...

[dry siren]

i have a bunch of real pre-accident pics of it, if you seek a reward

[vestal pine]

alot more damage than deadeye

[sterile radish]

dm

[gloomy temple]

I shall state this. I think Scar is a weird creep, and Colonel Alexander Korshunov is the most level headed guy in the Zone. I feel like their should be something similar to the PSZ-9I Falcon from the Spark Faction for the Ward. The PSZ-20W Convoy is not enough, and having an exo-skeleton armour for the Ward Faction is not enough. I shouldn't need a exo skeleton to beat the PSZ-9I Falcon in stats.

Ward is the best faction for humanity and it's future.

[vestal pine]

deadeye does less damage then a regular usp

[sterile radish]

..

[vestal pine]

ok yapatron... we dont need underline and bolds

[unreal basin]

You didn’t compare it to a upgraded one did you?

[vestal pine]

this isnt powerpoint

[unreal basin]

But yeah if you want realism, Stalker isn’t the game for you gun wise

[vestal pine]

nah because 1911 does litteraly twice the damage as usp for some reason... and 1911 is easier to get then usp

[vestal pine]

gamma probably right there next to tarkov

[unreal basin]

I don’t consider Gamma a Stalker game

[sterile radish]

I’m off now, peace

[unreal basin]

Gamma is just Stalker skinned Tarkov to me

[vestal pine]

yeah well it probably gave the devs a bit of motivation at the bare minimum

[unreal basin]

For quality probably, but not accuracy

[torn gate]

It's just a mod for the game not a real game itself

[vestal pine]

probably a 30% chance that stalker 2 wouldnt exist without gamma

[unreal basin]

I know that

[vestal pine]

its a mod of a mod of a game

[fierce nexus]

Nah lol

[unreal basin]

I highly doubt that

[vestal pine]

atleast 15

[torn gate]

Yeah not complicated at all for anyone new lol

[unreal basin]

Gamma wouldn’t exist without Anomaly, another mod

[sterile radish]

wasn’t stalker 2 in the making, but due to the war it got heavily delayed

[vestal pine]

well obviously. and it won mod of the year twice.

[unreal basin]

Tactical slop

[vestal pine]

and new vegas is a piss filtered walk game

[oak junco]

western mod players suffer such intense brainrot

[unreal basin]

I’ll never understand how people find Gamma’s gun part mechanics fun

[vestal pine]

well i find dark souls and elden ring very fun... so

[oak junco]

i literally have 30 standalone stalker mods and not 1 is anomaly or gamma so many more good mods then that slop

[vestal pine]

i no hit melina btw

[unreal basin]

That doesn’t apply since they’re a different genre

Those are much better than Gamma

[vestal pine]

gamma isnt meant to be fun. stalker 2s swamp isnt either... its meant to be a challenge

[unreal basin]

Then why even play it

[vestal pine]

getting 1 tapped in the head by a random npc that has like 5 more right next to it is one of a kind to gamma

[cursive kettle]

im so european that the keyboard of my phone doesn't have the British coin, btw the British coin is more expensive, like 15E are 20€

[oak junco]

fr

[vestal pine]

not even tarkov has that

getting sniped by a singular shotgun pellet from who knows where just feels good, atleast for me

[unreal basin]

If I was given the choice between HL3 being real or erasing Gamma from history I’d erase Gamma

[oak junco]

i wish more people played call of the zone or stason

[vestal pine]

ok u should rot for that

[fierce nexus]

Gamma's overhyped

[oak junco]

its true though when you play actual good mods you realize how anti stalker gamma actually is

[unreal basin]

There’s a lot more Gamma haters in this server than I thought there be

[torn gate]

It's too complicated for me to download even if I had a pc

[sterile radish]

I’m still mad at respawn for canceling titanfall 3 for apex..

[vestal pine]

well yeah, of course its not like stalker

its not an rpg for the most part, ur not a god

[unreal basin]

Then Stalker 2 shouldn’t try to emulate a anti stalker mod

[oak junco]

alot of gamma fan says otherwise and shit on the og trilogy

i dont have an issue with gamma persay more so the community

[vestal pine]

u cant just absorb 30 bullets, puncture ur arm with something, and absorb 30 more bullets in irl

[oak junco]

stalker never was or will be realistic its an arcade shooter franchise

if you want milsim id suggest arma

[sterile radish]

if you want realism, play bodycam or sum’n like ready or not

[sterile radish]

or that

[vestal pine]

ok then, thats understandable. but at the same time, they made a patch to gamma specifically bc of a issue they have never seen before that happened on my laptop 2 weeks after playing it

so they are pretty helpful

[oak junco]

like people are free to play what they wish but some mfs will come in here shitting on the canon games and saying only gamma is the defintive way to play while not even playing the trilogy lol

[spare canopy]

So, not only there actually rocket people when you kill them, Zombies that are the opposite of bloodsuckers when you kill them and completely disappear...

We now have new mutations on stalkers, with in growing arms

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/524231625039413249/1392324269530157217/1643320_168.jpg?ex=686f1e85&is=686dcd05&hm=244177f1003af788223b1ca3e20eb60d8aff299022b945cc6f98527d2ebad347&=&format=webp&width=1588&height=893

These guys seem pretty armless though...

[vestal pine]

but comparing gamma to the trilogy is stupid. ofc gamma gonna have more stuff, its just soc with like 5000 adjustments. it cant be compared,not even in the same genre

[dry siren]

i love mikhail boyarskiy

[vestal pine]

people dogging on it is stupid

[dry siren]

😌

[fierce nexus]

It also doesn't have a story

[vestal pine]

eh

[fierce nexus]

It's just set in chornobyl and that's all

[vestal pine]

a little bit, but not much

[dry siren]

i want a realistic pre-accident pripyat simulator where you work, eat, sleep, and then repeat until you get tired of playing

[vestal pine]

but perfect counter argument.... ITS FREE

[unreal basin]

The UN banning vendors from selling guns in Gamma is stupid, is that still a thing?

[dry siren]

i love pripyat

[vestal pine]

look in the mod browser, there a mod that adds a black market

[dry siren]

i love vaz-2101 kopeyka

[torn gate]

Wait what?

[vestal pine]

i eat dirt

[unreal basin]

How the f would the UN even control the vendors selling guns

[dry siren]

yea because you're freedom

[vestal pine]

idk... the un should like.... nuke the zone instead

[unreal basin]

Thats the “lore” reason fir why you can’t buy guns in Gamma

[torn gate]

The zone is a lawless hellhole why would anyone care what the UN says?

[dry siren]

THE ZONE HAS OIL 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🦅 💣 💣

[unreal basin]

Odds are it’ll just cause it to expand in the worst way possible

[fierce nexus]

[dry siren]

Ukrainian chicago

[fierce nexus]

This pseudogiant is gonna make me crash out

[torn gate]

Pretty much yeah

[dry siren]

squeeze my hand it'll be ok

[vestal pine]

guns in gamma have many parts and the receiver. u may find a gun with good like 94% durability (very rare) but the parts are all gonna be trash. meaning if u want a amazing as val,ur gonna spend a long time getting really lucky to get one

[unreal basin]

I hate that

[vestal pine]

mod to fix that too lol

[dry siren]

pogoda plokhaya pogoda

[vestal pine]

everything good (or bad if thats how u see it) can litteraly be reveresed in the mod manager to do the complete opposite

[torn gate]

I feel I would like stalker gamma it's just that gun stuff is dumb and not very fun but also I wouldn't consider gamma a real stalker game

[vestal pine]

thats why gammas so good. what u dont like u can just... evicerate it into the recycle bin

[unreal basin]

No

[dry siren]

yea but gamma isnt clear sky

and clear sky is awesome because i like it

[fierce nexus]

Peak Sky

[vestal pine]

it aint to bad... ak parts are all interchangeable, and so are nato stuff

[dry siren]

best soundtrack in the trilogy, i love the sounds of nature

[torn gate]

That does sound better but it sounds like a hassle to change and again I still wouldn't consider it a real stalker game since it is a mod

[vestal pine]

well yeah,no doubt its not a stalker game.

[dry siren]

i wish there was an option to give medkits to enemies

like, downed ones

[vestal pine]

u can do dat in gamma

[torn gate]

I would like to try it tho when I get a PC and fully make an opinion on the mod

[vestal pine]

the monolith sometimes act dead and pull out a grenade while u loot them

[dry siren]

im a merciful maniac

[torn gate]

That actually is pretty cool

[vestal pine]

one of the many very cool features of gamma

[dry siren]

ok gamma shill

[unreal basin]

Its getting annoying at this point

[vestal pine]

i know is it working?

[dry siren]

no it's having the reverse effect

like a tv ad

[unreal basin]

No, it’s actively pushing me further away

[vestal pine]

not trying to make u like it lol

[fierce nexus]

[vestal pine]

beside,u cant run in new vegas. 4/10

[dry siren]

there there, wee glorp

[vestal pine]

skyrim=can run 10/10

[dry siren]

NEW VEGAS IS A GIFT FROM MOTHER MARY

[vestal pine]

love everything about it except the piss filter in some small areas of the game and no run

i hundred percent it. same with 4

[dry siren]

i like it because it was one of the few games my ma liked watching me play on the big screen

[unreal basin]

Huh

[dry siren]

and she's since gone, so i have an obligation to like it

[fierce nexus]

Troo

[vestal pine]

u ever think they gonna revamp new vegas? it would do SO well

[dry siren]

i'd like a full tray of

peas

[dry siren]

no

[vestal pine]

since they did oblivion and theres already been like 2 discrete leaks

[dry siren]

remasters are slop

[vestal pine]

yeah but... run

[fickle tree]

Question: Does STALKER 2 have any additional content locked behind a paywall as of now besides the original content that was included with the deluxe/ultimate editions?

[vestal pine]

pre order

[torn gate]

If they do I'll have a new addiction

[dry siren]

the poop/pee button

slightly reduces your carry weight

[fickle tree]

ok cool so no additional paid content has been added thus far

ty

[dry siren]

no problem sport

you kids have fun now

[torn gate]

Not until the DLCS

[vestal pine]

these flinging bodies pissing me off now. i got 6 in a row... 2 aernt coming down

[dry siren]

HAAGH

[fickle tree]

thx coach

[dry siren]

why isnt easy pete in stalker 2

[dry siren]

go give em hell champ

[vestal pine]

also is there a reason why the swamps switched sides in stalker 2 compared to trilogy

[oak junco]

Ong

[vestal pine]

havent actually played the trilogy,but the old maps say they dif sides

[oak junco]

Think they wanted more realistic take on the zone map wise for stalker 2

[vestal pine]

to broke unfortunately

[fierce nexus]

Yes, Pripiat also used to be before the CNPP

They wanted everything to more realistic geographically

[vestal pine]

ye bc the map was like a straight line up

[fierce nexus]

Pripiat is now in the correct spot, as is the red forest

[vestal pine]

are all 3 games end area the cnpp?

[spare canopy]

One of the retcons they did for the game. The maps is nuts and amazing

[spare canopy]

CNPP was not even in CoP.

And I am really liking the persistance of NPC's sitting round camp fires, enjoying a beer and music... Until you lead a mutant to them 😈

[fierce nexus]

No CoP only focuses on Zaton/Pripiat

Mostly

[sterile radish]

hey nuka, can I ping you when I’m finished taking the photos?

[fierce nexus]

Sure

I took a few myself

[dry siren]

is the fire station in 2

[gloomy temple]

Can you even get those items anymore?

I actually wanted the Tourist Suit

[vestal pine]

idk,it would be hillarious if there are mods that just give payed items

since they in the game files

[gloomy temple]

I get that, but I really prefer getting those items by paying for it when the game comes out with 2.0, I was in the military training at the time and had no access to purchase the pre order. I would have as I do with alot of games. I feel left out due to circumstances I had no control over.

[vestal pine]

ahh

you have money

[gloomy temple]

It's like 3 items. I'd be very willing to put $5 dollar down for it as a bundle

[vestal pine]

it took me 5 months to get 60 bucks for the steam sale and shadow of the erd tree never even went on sale

i mow lawn for gamepass

but that my only money source,that and doing deals at school with other kids

i would never buy things like that anyway, the first thing i look at in the game is time to beat.

and each of the trilogy games are 20 bucks

which is insane,and a definit no for my 2 dollars on my debit card

[dry siren]

i gotta barf

[vestal pine]

im also too good of a person to pirate,and the one time i tried it did not go well

[gloomy temple]

Also I may be experiencing a Mandela effect, but didn't the game say it would have online feature or was I making up stuff in my brain. I remember reading something on the Xbox store

[vestal pine]

they said it would have multiplayer

[gloomy temple]

The game doesn't look like it would handle multi-player well

[vestal pine]

arena based combat

[gloomy temple]

That sounds silly

[vestal pine]

like in stalcraft if u ever played it

u would essentially gamble

[gloomy temple]

Or Armoured Core

[vestal pine]

i remeber stalcraft. never beat it,totally should. got me into the stalker franchise a long time ago

[twin mantle]

Nobody pitied me and gave me stalker 2 for free 😞

[vestal pine]

or i guess 2 and gamma.

[vestal pine]

get gamepass ig. u could beat it in a month,and u can get like 7 months of gamepass for free doing different things

just like getting nitro by beating wumpuss on chess.com

[gloomy temple]

I just have job

[vestal pine]

well am to young

by the time i get employed games might be ai slop. hope not

[gloomy temple]

GTA 6 will last the next 20 years from my understanding

[twin mantle]

I could but I’m still LOSING MONEY but begging is only wasting my time

[vestal pine]

could legitimately be the last good game

[vestal pine]

ur begging a 15 year old that has a single parent that lost her job and has a month left of savings before we get fcked over and lose everything

working out real well for ya bud

[gloomy temple]

Your scope is small with the world

[vestal pine]

yeah let me pull a fat stack of cash out of thin air

[gloomy temple]

I like Colonel Korshunov

[twin mantle]

Hm

[wanton gazelle]

I'd consider it, had I not blown money on a bunch of switch 2 games

[vestal pine]

switch 2 only good for duskbloods and metroid

which dont exist yet

[wanton gazelle]

Zelda

[vestal pine]

and nintendo as a company is evil, they bullying palworld and it not even fair

[wanton gazelle]

Darn

[vestal pine]

the one game everyone wants on pc is bloodborne, SO WHAT DO THEY DO??? BLOOD BORNE 2 IS GONNA BE SWITCH EXCLUSIVE

GREAT IDEA!!!11!

[wanton gazelle]

Damn I forgot, I'm gonna try that one when it comes out.

[vestal pine]

well u gotta play elden ring first

[wanton gazelle]

I've played it.

[vestal pine]

beat?

[wanton gazelle]

Yep.

[vestal pine]

ok good then

i hope the game wont be too easy since its on the switch

not like ill ever be able to play it tho lol

600 bucks for 1 game is a little much

[wanton gazelle]

I doubt it though considering dark souls has a port on Switch 2

[still edge]

Bloodborne is already on pc ....
if you know you know

[vestal pine]

are u ok?

[still edge]

oh you didnt know

[wanton gazelle]

Depends on the game tbh, the legend of zelda games I bought were 80 each since they're "upgraded"

[vestal pine]

pirate is not the awnser, i tried that and got a porn virus

i beat breath of the wild no death the last 2 weeks of school

[wanton gazelle]

He means an emulator. Which are not really the same thing.

[vestal pine]

crazy,no teachers took it up, and they super strict on phones

they games made for children,they have no challenge

[still edge]

if you know how to , its completely safe

[wanton gazelle]

I still like the Zelda stuff.

[vestal pine]

thats what i want in a game. a long hard challenge that makes u want to reconsider that diffuculty

[vestal pine]

free?

[twin mantle]

I pirate

[still edge]

bro you can emulate ps1 , ps2 , ps3, and now ps4 too

[vestal pine]

teach me the ways in dm

[vestal pine]

beamng pirate is so funni. only thing different is the backround of the main menu is pirate ship and a note pops up that says thanks for playing the game anyway

[vestal pine]

bc youtube video screwed me over and i had to re install windows

[still edge]

you got a virus from a tutorial video?

[twin mantle]

I never knew that cuz I bought beamng

[vestal pine]

good. they good company that save lives in real life

check out their discord,they just started making tires now

[twin mantle]

the game company that made beanmg makes tires?

[sage star]

I like that the ipsf camo acutally works

[vestal pine]

helping. they already work with audi and bmw to design the shell of cars before prototype testing

better to break things in a almost 1:1 sim then break things that cost money and could be totaly useless info and progress wise

[spare canopy]

Yup, sims are so good now, that GT3 racers use them to get familar with tracks and breaking points. Burton does this in SRO GT3 America. IT risk free and lot more cost effective than burning through tires and fuel.

[vestal pine]

u ever use beamng?

it not a sim racer at all

[spare canopy]

No, I heard it was pretty good, and they have just started adding rally to it. I have watched a bit of Jimmy Broadbent play it. Looks interesting.

You get some right proper crunchies in it

[vestal pine]

rally pretty old but ye. beam actually is the best rally sim but its a little to diffucult to be a sim

[fierce nexus]

Hmm?

[dry siren]

SVPCH 6

[spare canopy]

I don't know... Richard Burns was pretty brutal, but from what I hear, the rally is pretty accurate

[fierce nexus]

Maybe?

[dry siren]

i gotta see it

[fierce nexus]

There's a fire station near the cooling towers

[dry siren]

it's in microdistrict 2, behind the militia station

[dry siren]

wait what

[fierce nexus]

Yes

[dry siren]

proof?

[fickle hill]

Go to the cooling towers it is on fire for a firestation

It's eternally burning with black smoke filling the sky

[fierce nexus]

Ironically on fire, yes

[fickle hill]

Burning hotter than the hate of a 1000 suns

[fierce nexus]

It's an anomaly i believe

[fickle hill]

It is a thermal anomaly

[fierce nexus]

Yeah

[flat agate]

Hi hi

[fickle hill]

Hello

[fierce nexus]

Just like the Fire Whirl

[fierce nexus]

Greetings

[fickle hill]

Welcome to Hot towers

[dry siren]

it's so weird seeing the firetrucks with lightbars

when they had singular little rotating beacons in real

[fickle hill]

Exclusive model I guess

[strong onyx]

very radioactive location

It’s basically on the border of the “kill zone” next to the CNPP.

[fierce nexus]

Yee

[strong onyx]

I haven’t tried going there recently but with my previous armor it was a no-go. I’m not sure what armor can survive there long enough to get that artifact lol

There’s a respawning artifact like IN that building or something lol.

[honest ferry]

never really went there went once on my last save cleared it out and never went there again

there is a exoskeleton there you can snag early on if you can fight off the monolithians

[sterile radish]

cuirass exo, not that good tho

[honest ferry]

exo is exo

if you dont need it you can always sell it

[spare canopy]

it's the massive building on fire near the cement factory

[torn gate]

I'm at the part where I see my buddy strider again and feel sad for the third time

[honest ferry]

did him dirty

[ebon blade]

cuirass is ass.

[torn gate]

Strider and noontide didn't deserve what happened to them f@ck Faust man 😭

[honest ferry]

isnt that special exo you get from pripyat journalist stash cuirass aswell

[honest ferry]

he put those emitters in there

[torn gate]

You'll be missed noontide

I wish you were a faction longer than 5 minutes

[honest ferry]

real like you have 3 missions with them

[torn gate]

And the great monolith can change you back

[torn gate]

I wish they had their own ending with them breaking free from the monolith again or something

[honest ferry]

real real they did strider especially dirty

[honest ferry]

literally dies in a cutscene

[torn gate]

Better than a boss fight cuz we all know stalker boss fights aren't really good

[honest ferry]

they easy af ik

i mean they didn't need to kill him off at all

[torn gate]

The Faust one was a pain in the ass tho

[honest ferry]

hell no even on veteran

take a big mag weapon atleast 45 rounds rush him and shoot the emitter on his belt

[torn gate]

It kept crashing from the exploding towers in the background

[honest ferry]

you will need 2 mags and hes dead

[torn gate]

And when I got to the cutscene it kept crashing again

[honest ferry]

completely disregard his minions

[torn gate]

One of the patches fixed it tho

[honest ferry]

i had 7 crashes in the last mission

[torn gate]

0 surprisingly in the last one

Although I did hear my Xbox become a jet engine at the end

[honest ferry]

every crash happened at a boss fight

[torn gate]

Strelok's boss fight did glitch out a couple of times but that was about it

[torn gate]

I'm going to rethink how I do that boss fight cuz I swear to God Faust's clone don't even let me rush him they just straight up jump me

[honest ferry]

scar ending is terrifying

[honest ferry]

you can avoid them

when you see he is gonna do psi attack you stim

heal so you can keep shooting the thing

[torn gate]

I do that yeah I just also hide behind a box and a few rush me at times and kill me faster than the game crashes

[torn gate]

It's the glorious shining ending everyone should have

[honest ferry]

schizophrenia more like

[torn gate]

The voices like that ending

[molten nacelle]

everytime I go to the bedroom door in cement factory. The game crashes. Does this happen to anyone else?

[torn gate]

No? But maybe for now stay away from there 😭

[molten nacelle]

I'm persistent on getting in that bedroom lol

[ebon blade]

What are you calling the bedroom door?

[strong onyx]

you don’t wanna see in there

[molten nacelle]

I guess the doorway. Everytime I go near it game just crashes lol

[strong onyx]

that’s the games way of telling you not to go in there man

[molten nacelle]

I'm gonna get in lol

[strong onyx]

not if it keeps crashing 😂😭

[honest ferry]

@torn gate first time i played i let faust pull me up but i was not a knower

he let me fall and you have to do the whole bossfight again

[torn gate]

I did the same thing 😔

[molten nacelle]

I got in lol. It was insta agro aggression that was messing it up

[wide veldt]

Why am i getting a friend request from someone named ming with some sort of foreign character as there name

All i did as talk about game mods abit here now i get all these people from this server trying to scam me and stuff its annoying

[honest ferry]

and then when you pull yourself up he calls you the envoy of monolith 😭

[wide veldt]

No dm from ming yet though

I denied them

[torn gate]

You're getting scammers?

[wide veldt]

Several within like the past week

[torn gate]

I definitely don't feel connected with the monolith after killing more than the population of Luxembourg

[torn gate]

God damn I didn't think there were so many scam bots in this server

[honest ferry]

so trueee 😭

[wide veldt]

I just want a new camo lmg that has different firing modes

And maybe a flame thrower

[torn gate]

I just want more mods to be imported onto Xbox

[torn gate]

That seems like over kill

[wide veldt]

Mods are for fun so who cares really

its considered a cheat and disables ur achievements to so does it really matter if its op?

[torn gate]

Yeah true I just find having op weapons after a while boring

How did i forgot boring?

[wide veldt]

Well its fun sometimes like running around with a anti aircraft gun

[torn gate]

I can't argue with that I just like making my game more difficult for myself

[wide veldt]

Better than using one of the billions of ak47s in the game or something

Someone is even modding in yet another ak rn as we speak like we need more

[torn gate]

The aks suck I don't touch them after the beginning they did them dirty

[torn gate]

Probably be better than the base game AKs

[sterile radish]

no, its a special variant of the ward operator exo. psv something

[cursive kettle]

tday 2 will be imported and theire gonna not gonna be much

[stark crescent]

What kind of scam?

[wide veldt]

Getting me to pay for a mod to be maid probably but they usually have no message history or the role here so i ignore them

[sterile radish]

awh

[wide veldt]

They dm about my message mentioning it but i never respond

[stark crescent]

You are the modder but the scam is they want you to pay for a mod?

[wide veldt]

No the scam is that “there the modder” when there not

[stark crescent]

Ahh

Ye, someone mentioned it earlier in general chat as well. Oh wait this is general. Durr

I thought this was the mod chat channel lol

[wide veldt]

Oh then it was me probably

[stark crescent]

Nah. Different name

[wide veldt]

Oh

[radiant cargo]

Can you implement HL2's gravity gun in Stalker 2? Also left-click shockwave and item collecting?

[hasty bone]

hello stalkers

how is life in zone now?

[edgy shell]

Pretty good

Everything and everyone is out to kill me but I’ve got a campfire and a dream

[hasty bone]

dream! what kind of dream?

[edgy shell]

Sosig

[honest ferry]

if it only was full metal

[honest ferry]

bred and sausig

[hasty bone]

now that's the big deal and meal ofc

[honest ferry]

delicacy of the zone

3 star michelin meal

[hasty bone]

yeah but adding the Tourist's Delight will become 5 star

[honest ferry]

peak

[hasty bone]

ops i forgor water

[honest ferry]

non-stop energy

the vicious cycle repeats

[honest ferry]

drink energy get hungry eat sossig and bread drink energy repeat

[hasty bone]

is that in s2?

[honest ferry]

part of core gameplay

[hasty bone]

i heard of it

[honest ferry]

your stamina is so weak a kindergardner can run more than skif (veteran marine)

[hasty bone]

[honest ferry]

you will collect all the special edition energy drinks like pokemons

[hasty bone]

here is the cure (non_stop)

[edgy shell]

Gravity is just different in the zone that’s why

[honest ferry]

so true

previous games had longer stamina

[hasty bone]

never played s2 and will not be able too

[honest ferry]

why not

pc not good enough or no time

[hasty bone]

i have potato

[edgy shell]

Felt like you’d either be able to sprint indefinitely or for 5 metres before it’s just gone

[hasty bone]

potato pc

[honest ferry]

some day you will get to play

[hasty bone]

i hope so

i was happy about laptop gpus

but the new 50 series is worse than before

[honest ferry]

i need try running it on my thinkpad i think it will explode

[hasty bone]

make free kebab on it LOL

mine will turn into furnace

[honest ferry]

it can run cyberpunk

but that game doesnt have hardware raytracing

[hasty bone]

no Fkin way

what's your gpu?

it's impossible to run

[honest ferry]

1070

[hasty bone]

then it must be a gaming laptop but would never be a thinkpad

[honest ferry]

my thinkpad has a 1070

[hasty bone]

dude mine is mx130

[hasty bone]

you have gaming laptop comparing to my laptop

[honest ferry]

my gaming pc can handle the game with ease so no use for the laptop anyway

[hasty bone]

yeah but it is kinda gaming laptop, almost 4x my laptop performance

[honest ferry]

yeah i will try to play it

[tight fog]

where is 1.5.1?

[stray needle]

no need, the game is perfect now

[spare canopy]

Almost instantly, for me.

And a flamer thrower wouldn't be too OP, due to limited range, and running out of fuel...

And blowing up a lot of the time getting shot with ranged weapons from a distance.

[spare canopy]

Yeah, you got a good chance of it dying...

Infact, your gpu might melt through the laptop and create it's own elephants foot.

[stark crescent]

Where buy

[honest ferry]

3rd chernobyl meltdown

[spare canopy]

It looks 3d printed. Maybe?

[spare canopy]

3rd?

[honest ferry]

it will cause 2 meltdowns

[stark crescent]

Bah. I only accept real gold.

Not gold colored plastiek.

https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Stalker-Cheeki-Breeki-by-UNcrocodile/86812151.WFLAH

I want to buy. But its from US and im european so thats gonna be costly to import

[smoky hawk]

couldnt you just ask a local place to do it for you?

[stark crescent]

The tshirt? Maybe

No idea how that works

[smoky hawk]

search around for printing and advertisement shops close to you, see if you can get only one done, if that doesnt work you have online shops that do this service

[sharp flower]

can a freedomer help a colourblind fellow freedomer with finding a colour that suits freedom

ignore the duty role

[thin apex]

I have a 3d printer to make the bapta badge

[stark crescent]

3d print me a mellowood tshirt with cheeki breeki

[serene barn]

have they gotten around to fixing story missions in the game for the different factions? i remember those being buggy for a lot of people like with Ward's and Spark's

[thin apex]

the camo pattern for the freedom uniform is probabaly closest to the american ERDL woodland camo

[charred nova]

How do you 3d print a shirt

[sharp flower]

i can see that now thank you

[vapid galleon]

⬆️ one of my favorite Military Gear

[spare canopy]

It's a nice vibrant green too

[spare canopy]

Eh? Whats that?

[spare canopy]

The CPU and GPU... Well, at least you will have 2 of 4 elephants feet

[small quest]

1.51 please.

all my loot is in the skybox

[edgy shell]

How

[cedar dagger]

1.51 please: optimized controller settings for consoles. Aiming feels so janky. Let us remove quest items and standard pistol from inventory. Thanks.

[serene barn]

what's what? the factions?

[spare canopy]

yeah the faction missions. What was people having issues with?

[spare canopy]

Rocketman....

[serene barn]

it was basically doors not opening for Ward i think and something about a char getting stuck in the Spark playthrough.

[thin apex]

deserved for being a sparker or siding with the ward

[spare canopy]

Ahh okay, I heard some that the mission givers in the faction bases bugged out and couldnt give missions anymore... I did think that, that was still an issue.

I thought they fixed all the story blockers.

[serene barn]

well, i did ask because i don't know if they have.

and i been meaning to get back on for a New Game and maybe i'll do a Pure Spark run since that's the ending i am missing.

[cursive kettle]

Unfortunately all of that is not gonna happen

[serene barn]

check out the guns and armor changes and stuff.

[cursive kettle]

id wanna do another game even tho i don't need to, tho i feel like i should,to fix my mods, since maybe i broke my save

bloodsuckers take 2-3 mags of buckshots from the cracker

[unreal basin]

The heck? Just got a pop up saying because of my settings I’m not allowed to use mods now?

[sharp gulch]

?

[cursive kettle]

huh

[unreal basin]

Also it’s showing a keyboard control to close the popup but I’m on Xbox

[cursive kettle]

Yo ace, how's going with the modding

[thin apex]

bloodsuckers do not take 2 to 3 magazines of the magfed m870

it's less then 1 mag asuming you hit your shots

[cursive kettle]

i can show you a clip if you want

[sharp gulch]

SDK broke my mods, ive spent like 4-5 hours fixing it. Seems like its fixed now

Going to add better flashlights to NPCs and then refocus on weather mod

[stark crescent]

Which mods are yours?

[unreal basin]

Ok, restating the game fixed it it seems

[thin apex]

anything named feliche or ace's

[cursive kettle]

ohhh yeahh npc's flashlights are so weak lowkey

[sharp gulch]

Mostly known for Weapon Reposition and Dynamic Weather

[stark crescent]

Npc dont need flashlights tho

[stark crescent]

Tacticool?

[thin apex]

NPCs need flashlights for identification at night time

[sharp gulch]

both

[cursive kettle]

bruh, how do they see at night, and how do we see them

[sharp gulch]

its mostly for easier time for players to see them. Current flashlight are all pointing at their feet so its hard to spot them at night

[thin apex]

if you wanna stealth with your flashlight off (since turning it on will alert any enemies and cause them to turn around) or effectively identify enemies at ranges beyond standard flashlight range

[stark crescent]

Usually i just shoot where ever im shot from

[cursive kettle]

being shot in the dark with almost no signs of where they shoot is annoying, with the SFX mod maybe you can spot the bursts

[thin apex]

yeah current state at night if you don't have it extra bright is just getting shot from the darkness with no identifyable weapon flash and no flashlight that you can see the beam of or see the immunination of and your own flashlight only iluminates 1 meter Infront of you

[cursive kettle]

if it works for you it doesn't mean it works for everyone

these dam typos

[stark crescent]

It was a joke.

[cursive kettle]

oh, game coming to ps5 ig, GSC is expanding players for Multi-player

[slow crypt]

Ps5 trailer when the game is like 70%

[thin apex]

oh I thought we were getting a content announcement it's just PlayStation

[cursive kettle]

fr

[thin apex]

I was ready to see patch 1.51

[edgy shell]

Ooo PlayStation support? Interesting

[slow crypt]

Gsc wants more money waw

[edgy shell]

Good for them

Back on the waiting game :)

[cursive kettle]

nope, tomorrow prob

[craggy blaze]

kinda crazy your putting it on console in this state

[slow crypt]

1.5.1 is a hotfix

[dreamy forge]

Sounds like it was 1 year exclusive contract with xbox

[cursive kettle]

it is already on console lowkey

[hardy totem]

Congrats to playstation owners who were waiting for this

[cursive kettle]

i feel bad for them

[plain jewel]

On another platform already?? That's ambitious, considering the state it's in.

[slow crypt]

Yea just for the money

[craggy blaze]

yeah lol forgot about xbox but the games so bad still its not even funny

wish this game cooked a few more years

[strong onyx]

Agred.

[spare canopy]

What?

[slow crypt]

Ps5 unfinished game = we need money

[strong onyx]

Must have the staff for it.

[terse carbon]

Its or this teaser tease us the next extension?

[cursive kettle]

theire creating a better base for Multi-player and more money

[rancid herald]

consoles kinda hold back the true graphical potential
it does run on an old zen 2 architecture and average 6700 equivalent gpu

[main gyro]

Like I give a shit if STALKER 2 is on gaystation and shitbox lmao.

[strong onyx]

What're they supposed to do? Wait forever?

[spare canopy]

yeah, so they can blow it and waste it like every other time.

[cursive kettle]

typical Pc rage baiter

[strong onyx]

bro take some meds holy crap

[slow crypt]

Yea

[main gyro]

PC is master race, peasant.

[strong onyx]

ive never not seen you be negative about this game.

[molten nacelle]

Ahhh playstation release. Damn gsg yall already hurting for money

[slow crypt]

Gsc 2011 br like

[strong onyx]

nahhhh, we arent all like that, dont worry man

[crystal bison]

why is skif playing himself

[fierce nexus]

[blazing swift]

Ps5 but not ultrawide support for cutscenes

[rancid herald]

with himself* sus

[molten nacelle]

Ukraine needs that money 💰

[crystal bison]

true brother

[slow crypt]

Praga needs money

[blazing swift]

And no DLC

[cursive kettle]

a race that lowkey anyone doesn't even follow, btw i bet 100% that all the graphics shown will be so downgraded on Ps5 and the gameplay will be sooo different than the trailer, like the past ones

[fierce nexus]

It's coming lmao

[crystal bison]

Do you really think they will add a DLC anytime soon?

[strong onyx]

how else is he supposed to let off steam after a ful day of stalkering?

[molten nacelle]

It's not going to prague. It's going to the drone manufacturing company

[rancid herald]

ya'll really forget every stalker release from SoC to now was completely broken 😂

[fierce nexus]

True

[tacit jay]

lmao

[magic vault]

That video was awesome, you guys should watch it

[strong onyx]

sounds like cdpr

[vital granite]

How are people liking the new guns? I’m loving the three line

[tacit jay]

Just another day in the zone.

[fierce nexus]

Three line is based

[leaden wadi]

the PS5 now has two games; Trepang2, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

[marsh iron]

love that trailer so much great job

[strong onyx]

odd that weve heard no word on 1.51 though...

[spare canopy]

What?

Because I think that releasing on PS early is would be detrimental to the players experience, as the game still has many issues and is still clearly unfished.

When really, the PS5 could wait until the game is finished and fleshed out, getting the best experiences of all of us.

Coz the game still needs a few more years, to get to where it needs to be, and GCS has more than enough in the bank to hold off releasing the PS version early and in a poor state.

[rancid herald]

anomaly releases, but later on when ironed out 👍 same vibes with HoC
Just gotta wait

[magic vault]

Kora is mega strong and threeline is good for headshots at all distances

[cursive kettle]

the game is gonna be bad like in xbox, don't EVER believe trailers, they already did us dirty 1 time with the past ones

[marsh iron]

three line is amazing yes

[slow crypt]

Aaa yea come Back alive be like

[strong onyx]

You can do that with-ugh, nevermind.

[bright prism]

[magic vault]

I don't even own a PS5, it was just a funny trailer... What's there to deceive you?

[rancid herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXP_PGKSxE
if ya wanna remind yourself of how older stalkers were also very broken on release

[slow crypt]

The best thing about Stalker 2 is that being unfinished helps hide the fact that it's an average game with a bad story

[cursive kettle]

the trailer is delusional, just an illusion of how the game should be

[frigid hill]

raider216 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cursive kettle]

L

[rancid herald]

a lot of "fixes/patches unofficial and overhaul" mods took 2 years after release to iron out

[gentle marten]

does the ps5 announcement mean the end of forced console parity with xbox?

[magic vault]

Psi levels critical

[spare canopy]

With what?

Release a game early that is finished, is never a great idea. PS players could have had the game in the best state on launch. With the areas that were cut from the game due to poor management and running out of time.

AI fixes, and there is a lot of them, more A-Life fizxes...

Why release something early and cocking it up again?

It's shallow cash grab, only thing I can think of.

[slow crypt]

We are on 2025555

[fierce nexus]

Take some psi-block bro

[main gyro]

Console has worse performance, worse graphics, and lower FPS capability yet in your mind it’s somehow better than PC lmao.

Get real man.

[fierce nexus]

[bright prism]

i'm just hoping for co op so i can explore the sone with my bf

[cursive kettle]

yep

[vital granite]

I’m a huge ww2 fan so I would love to see more old weapons like the three line

[slow crypt]

a fury is going to tell me

[rancid herald]

You gotta take the circumstances we are in, IRL situation, UE5 demanding engine, huge open world seamless

[main gyro]

No, UE5 is just shit.

Let’s be honest.

[cursive kettle]

who said that Consoles are better dud? Pc are better, but consoles are for people that don't wanna spend too much, chill people, relax man

[strong onyx]

the amount of bait in these channels is getting out of hand ngl

that was supposed to be a reply to another message but ok guess not.

[rancid herald]

This time around we got the SDK which we didnt get in the og ones, so ya'll gotta chill

[slow crypt]

Ma men is s2 server, we dont even have a game

[cursive kettle]

there isn't gonna be Co op as it was confirmed, only lone play and surviving

[sharp gulch]

Stalker 2 general and nospoiler are awful 75% of the time

[main gyro]

I ain’t baiting nothing, I just ain’t fooling myself or others.

I tell the truth, I don’t give a shit for feelings.

[leaden wadi]

they should've made xray engine 2 smh

[spare canopy]

Remnants 2? Pretty damn good.

But then, GCS didn;t have to move away from UE4 did they.

[bright prism]

eh fair

[strong onyx]

this is great, more people get to play, IM having a blast with this game but i can also acknoledge the issues with it.

[serene barn]

didn't steam make a thing in their ToS about how companies putting games on there had to basically deliver on promised things within some sort of time frame?

[rancid herald]

we all wish, x ray engine was a gem of its time, but it would sink a lot of cost, we wouldnt see S2 by like 2030 something

[cursive kettle]

they switched engine in mid development

[spare canopy]

That would only have been possible if there was yearly incements like UE... With major updates every now and then.

[strong onyx]

more then once.

[main gyro]

And that was a mistake it seems.

[cursive kettle]

yep, S2 is advertised as a full game while it's still on beta

[tacit jay]

Lmao the seething over this is great.

[leaden wadi]

they'd have to summon John GSC himself to tell them how to use it

[main gyro]

At least we can agree on that one Engi.

[rancid herald]

The John Stalker himself, even more legendary than Strelok

[cursive kettle]

huhh, i thought only UE4 to UE5

[strong onyx]

Steam won't remove it, they don't have a leg to stand on.

[main gyro]

Haven’t been more disappointed in a game since BF2042.

[strong onyx]

They used a custom STALKER engine originally.

Switched it VERY early in development.

[serene barn]

well yeah but i mean like how they had people pay for the different editions of the game which promised a season pass thing for the 2 DLCs and there's been no word about the DLCs and it's been nearly 8 months.

[sharp gulch]

you mean stalker 2 from early 2010s?

[cursive kettle]

it's crazy switching engine 2 times and draining your money like that

[strong onyx]

Yeah.

[cursive kettle]

GSC

[strong onyx]

it was super early and I dont thin they used it very long lol

[spare canopy]

If not longer.

and it isn;t easy. CDPR tried to update their engine for CP 2077, and it is still not good enough... They recently moved to UE, as keeping an engine updated is a costly business.

[main gyro]

And look what it got them, it can’t even perform on a high end rig (I got a 4070 and a 7 7800x3d and it runs terrible).

[strong onyx]

RedEngine is also dogcrap.

[dreamy forge]

Ironically they are updating the engine for Epic for free now

[strong onyx]

Looks good. Runs...sometimes...

[main gyro]

Is that the one Cyberpunk uses?

[strong onyx]

well that 4070 aint helpin

[cursive kettle]

unfortunately there are people that say that they have a 3060 and their S2 runs great, i wonder if theire Hard fanboys of GSC or smt

[rancid herald]

if they had used the same engine x ray , we would see S2 but maybe very minor graphical improvements, but maybe expanded a life, which in the end i dont mind the graphics if it keeps the core gameplay

[serene barn]

like we paid what, 110+ bucks and there's been no sign of the promised goods not to mention the whole Multiplayer things that i'm admittedly not interested in but it was listed in the editions too as being something i was paying for

[small quest]

I feel sorry for PS5 users already

[leaden wadi]

one hundred and ten big american booms...

[cursive kettle]

nope dude, wait till the first person goes to mars and maybe we getting something promised

[strong onyx]

You’ve got a de facto high end CPU with a decidedly mid range GPU. That’s a bit of a problem and depending on the resolution it may be an even bigger problem.

[frigid hill]

raider216 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rancid herald]

lol

[cursive kettle]

Nahh this is rage bait, don't listen to this dude

[strong onyx]

yeah because that’s gonna help, swearing at the bot

[outer spade]

Much rather them just focus on UE 5.6 then a PS5 version

[main gyro]

I don’t give a shit.

[spare canopy]

That because epic and UE are owned by TenCents, and TenCents makes it money by charging 5% of teh cost of sales above x amount.

[leaden wadi]

but i like getting mad ‼️

[molten nacelle]

They in for a big disappointment 🤣

[strong onyx]

I’ve got a potty mouth, but I don’t do that here because it ain’t gonna get ya nowhere.

[main gyro]

Ok, you do you nerd.

[small quest]

welcome ps5 skeevas

[smoky hawk]

tbh, considering PS5 and Xbox are all just Linux based closed off, the most difficult things to do would be the extra features for controllers
and even then, one or 2 guys can knock that out

[fierce nexus]

Wolf will get you

[leaden wadi]

@ wolf get me

[rancid herald]

my take is they shouldnt even release on consoles, but i guess money helps fund the development and keep the project going : )

[strong onyx]

Yep, exactly. Wolf is just doing his job no reason to get mad at him. He’s a nice bot.

[molten nacelle]

At least I can hook my xbox up to my pc 🤣

[small quest]

they need to fix controllers period.

[smoky hawk]

its all console slop at the end of the day so I assume they use the same build, wouldnt take too much time

[strong onyx]

My guess this is the reason.

[fierce nexus]

He's got a mind of his own

[smoky hawk]

smth wrong with them?

[main gyro]

Been wondering whether I should switch to AMD GPU, it’s funny cause I seen them perform better on certain games.

4070 is honestly a scam.

Shoulda known better.

[molten nacelle]

Show me where the gaystation user and sex box 1 touched you at.

[strong onyx]

I like mine, but I also am the exact type of person AMD targets: DIY.

[cursive kettle]

Console gamers didn't ask for Stalker on their platform, it was GSC's decision to release the game like this lowk, like, you know ready or not? i wish that game didn't came to console because theire downgrading it just for the console kids

[smoky hawk]

they kissed my feet asking me if they could have mods for console
I laughed

[rancid herald]

this whole gen is a skip tbh, both amd and nvidia are overpriced

[small quest]

do you play with controller? the sensivity for a start, you cant even set it high enough to track dogs at close range, more that one dog and they can just run circles around you, no support for other controllers, no acceleration, no gyro, the hotkey system is garbo... it goes on..

[main gyro]

I like making my PC custom, I use a AMD CPU so I don’t have to replace the motherboard but a Nvidia graphics card for power (or so I thought).

any game on a console is a crime against humanity but

unfortunatly, geneva doesnt agree with me

[strong onyx]

😭😭😭

[cursive kettle]

who's geneva

[leaden wadi]

what did you do bro did you use the red cross or something

[smoky hawk]

I thought you meant mutant, I do not play on a controller
and think anyone who does is kinda weird ngl

[strong onyx]

it’s not a who it’s a what

[spare canopy]

The AI, A-Life, spawns, NPC's blocking doors, Rocketman deaths, invisble dead zombies, stealth, stamina, why does using a knife fell like running a marathon?, food hunger mechanics over haul, economy over haul... the list goes on and on.

Should have left teh PS5 release. Just short term opportunism, when really the long term game would have done them much better.

[main gyro]

Eh, I think AMD is doing better though.

Especially since in competition with Nvidia.

[smoky hawk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions
We need to class consoles as a crime against humanity
please help me achieve this dream

[small quest]

I'm a dad so I play on deck, which is an amazing controller, but even that can't help S2 controls

[cursive kettle]

i dont have a problem with mutants since lowkey theire easy now, tho the lack of controller settings is annoying

[main gyro]

Plus AMD CPU architecture is nice, I like how I don’t need to replace the whole motherboard if I need to replace the CPU.

[rancid herald]

idk man they have 8% market share and keep going down , worse state than its ever been
just because they undercut 50$-100$ which aint enough

[smoky hawk]

respectable, ok
have you tried messing with Steams controller software?

[spare canopy]

if you can find a 9070xt at MSRP, then it is £150 cheaper than the 5070ti at MSRP, which it beats in benchmarks many times.

[strong onyx]

Geneva Conventions;

Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907
1980 Conventions on Certain Conventional Weapons
1925 Geneva Protocol.

[cursive kettle]

ohhhhhh.. 😬

[strong onyx]

What a freaking MOUTHFUL that was to type.

[small quest]

Loads I've jerry rigged a lot of fixes tbh! Got 4 hotkeys and hold buttons for inventory etc.

[strong onyx]

Basically international laws against war crimes n stuff.

[smoky hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/postal-gif-26589645

[main gyro]

Wait, did someone here not know what the Geneva Convention was?

Like for real?

[strong onyx]

Probably. Most people don’t know what it actually is. People just use it ironically.

[cursive kettle]

i mean, i didn't study it a school so it's the school's fault

[main gyro]

As a history buff, that kinda baffles me.

No wonder we’re in decline, we learn nothing.

[fierce nexus]

Some people can't read an analog clock

[strong onyx]

Ditto, huge fan of history,

[crystal quartz]

what for

[strong onyx]

Because ya dumb if you can’t

[small quest]

Raises hand

[dreamy forge]

We arent going to make it?

[crystal quartz]

nah

[strong onyx]

rip ya brain then

[spare canopy]

And people think the world is flat, climate change is a hoax, chemtrails, and all the other nutjob conspiracies that people believe.

[smoky hawk]

some people dont know how to read the stars position to find north pole
what are you gonna do in the waters?!??!?!?!

[strong onyx]

just follow the little lines

[main gyro]

I’m more into war history, but I like to read about certain events (like Chernobyl for instance).

[dreamy forge]

Die

[rancid herald]

fast travel

[small quest]

some people — some people think stalker 2 is fine currently...

[crystal quartz]

why tf i would searchin 4 north pole

[fierce nexus]

Just remember which direction the sun rose

[cursive kettle]

it's funny lowkey, we are gonna become an idiocracy don't we? we'll, the future generations

[small quest]

I might go back and watch the IGN review again, can I see where the bribe was paid?

[main gyro]

Those people living in denial lmao.

[fierce nexus]

We're already kinda there

[cursive kettle]

Tru

[smoky hawk]

tell me, how would you feel if you didnt have breakfast this morning

[main gyro]

Am I the only 22 year old civilian who uses Military Time? I just think it’s more efficient.

[fierce nexus]

Fine? No.
Better than launch? Absolutely

[strong onyx]

They criticized it too.

[spare canopy]

And that Strelok was an agent during SoC and still is... Despite playing an entire game after the programming broke, and he awoke just like the members of Noontide, memory loss and no idea who they are... But agent.

[crystal quartz]

pretty normal

[strong onyx]

The general verdict was “it’s great…when it works right”

[cursive kettle]

those are GSC try hard fanboys that will eat anything that get thrown by GSC

[small quest]

i know — but that review was the release version. It was no lies — awful.

[strong onyx]

Can’t believe people like that exist

[smoky hawk]

some people think Cossacks 3 is better than 2
let that sink in

[cursive kettle]

you can't even criticize respectfully the game, they just say you're wrong

[fierce nexus]

Nah, I just offer fair analysis

[main gyro]

The older STALKERS might’ve had a bug or two but at least they were playable.

This one it feels like I’m scraping sand paper after trying to look around lmao.

[fierce nexus]

[strong onyx]

well they can bite me

[smoky hawk]

I know youre wrong, bc its you speaking

[rancid herald]

hell naw

[smoky hawk]

debatable

[cursive kettle]

they don't read mine ig, just backlash and controversy

[smoky hawk]

weird to talk about your fetishes online

https://tenor.com/view/let-that-sink-in-sink-door-open-door-meme-gif-11027748423699535107

[cursive kettle]

bro u literally want console games to be defined as a crime and im the wrong one-

[crystal quartz]

😭

[strong onyx]

😏

[smoky hawk]

yes, if you dont want this, you are morally obhorrent quite frankly

[spare canopy]

No. I have never that impression from anything I have seen, or youtube videos...

The number of side quests of the later zones is like 1 or none, but in the Lessor zone, you get a dozen or so. The later zones are not as felshed out as lesser and garbage...

It is blantantly obvious the massive chuncks of the game were cut out and rushed to get released. The game clearly isn't finished, discounting all the problem with AI, A-Life, bugs and everything.

The game has always had potentional, but it is still a complete mess though.

[main gyro]

My main gripe with console is with the release of a Ready Or Not console version.

That kinda pissed me off.

[cursive kettle]

ig i gotta buy a 3k rig with the money i dont have

[smoky hawk]

🫵 you live with the conscience of a person that permits your kids, children, POOR BABIES
TO PLAY A CONSOLE
how sick, how vile, how evil

[dreamy forge]

Please.. Makes life easier for tech support when clueless folk f off to consoles

[fierce nexus]

You've also had a borderline hilarious amount of bugs

[strong onyx]

IGN literially said that in their review bud. I'm just saying what their verdict was.

[smoky hawk]

brother, theyll just give you question for tech support now about their consoles

[main gyro]

Tbh, IGN sucks and is kinda irrelevant.

[strong onyx]

Sure do.

But their opinion carries weight.

[dreamy forge]

And i can ignore them with good conscience

[main gyro]

Their opinions I couldn’t give less of a shit about, and I know for a fact I ain’t the only one.

[strong onyx]

You aren't.

[fierce nexus]

Agreed

[smoky hawk]

the only moral course of action is to raise a ticket to a hitman to eleminate the contaminant post haste of course

you dont know?

[cursive kettle]

the early game just makes your 2-3 hours of gameplay to pass so you can't reimburse it and so after you find very little content

[spare canopy]

I now have NPC's, running around with inverted arms into their bodies... Rather than ingrowing hair, they have in growing arms... Being a private Dr would be a serious pay out

Like an entire arm is missing, it's just draw dropping.https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/524231625039413249/1392324269530157217/1643320_168.jpg?ex=686f1e85&is=686dcd05&hm=244177f1003af788223b1ca3e20eb60d8aff299022b945cc6f98527d2ebad347&=&format=webp&width=1588&height=893

[strong onyx]

have you tried a new save...?

[fierce nexus]

My point still stands

[main gyro]

100% playable game.

[strong onyx]

like how do you have so many issues?

[small quest]

yup — got this one myself.

[rancid herald]

he lost his arm due a grenade or mutant so waht 😏

[velvet trench]

Just seen the news cannot wait to hop in

[cursive kettle]

can't wait to waste money huh

[vapid furnace]

Did you tell him to “walk it off”?

[velvet trench]

Yes

[main gyro]

Can’t wait to hop in the buggy and terribly optimized waste can of a game?

[spare canopy]

Nah, he was armless.

[dreamy forge]

Stalker 2 ported to UE6 when?

[main gyro]

Oh god, as if we didn’t have enough troubles with the current Engine lmao.

[rancid herald]

april 21, 2034

[strong onyx]

engine is just trash

[fierce nexus]

My favorite argument is when they say the game looks bad

[cursive kettle]

the game is good only for the first hours, then the content is all cut out in the upper and far regions, i advise you to wait till 1.6 or 1.7 and buy it on sale

[fierce nexus]

Just lies at that point

[rancid herald]

doesnt look as good as IRL 😡 fake game (its a game)

[main gyro]

Ok, the game “looks” good but doesn’t “play” good eh?

[fierce nexus]

True 😔

[strong onyx]

close enuff tbh

[velvet trench]

Appreciate the msg I'm glad the game been announced so I'll wait

[dreamy forge]

Oddly specific but ok. If it doesnt you will be sued for misinformation and ill have your cardboard box

[fierce nexus]

[cursive kettle]

i care more about gameplay than shiny graphics

[small quest]

waah — the game looks good once every so often. Quite often looks like a messy array of voxely crap lighting to me. The image is so unstable at points like eve/night or night/morning

[strong onyx]

not me with a massive ~mods folder

[main gyro]

I’m the same way, which is why I’m hoping the best for Beta Decay.

[main gyro]

Though I still got doubts.

[spare canopy]

The looks, sounds, music, and atmosphere are all stunning.

The rest is a steaming shower right now... Although, as I said last night, permance of NPC's is nice, wondering off somewhere and they are sitting around a fire and chatting and playing guitar, and they are still their chilling on the way back...

That is pretty cool and a positive improvement.

[fierce nexus]

Yee

[small quest]

A screenshot doesn't show the issue I'm talking about, like i said — looks great at points

[sharp lake]

you playing max settings 4k mono?

[fierce nexus]

I believe so yeah

[main gyro]

Ok, but who cares about graphics when you need a $30,000 fookin super computer to play it eh?

[small quest]

I have to pay my mortgage

[modern crypt]

What would you guys say to a mod that brings a bicycle to the game

[rancid herald]

first doom, needed 4000$ to play it 15 fps

[modern crypt]

Or motorcycle

[tacit jay]

Sick

[rancid herald]

old soviet car that sounds like a jet engine and hard to power up

[sharp lake]

kids these days will never know the struggle of pc gaming back in the day

[modern crypt]

I'm on console I'm saying I'd like more mods like co op

[violet dune]

xbox was exclusive to S2, but sony got exclusive trailer

[main gyro]

Most of the time I was just messing around on Happy Wheels and YouTube.

[tacit jay]

Accidentally putting the disc in wrong and damaging it

Losing one of the floppy disks required for a game.

[violet dune]

we got PS5 announcement before patch 1.5.1

[spare canopy]

What struggle? The worked far more reliably than the games of today... And they wasn;t dumbed down to the lowest denominator to maximise sales.

[main gyro]

Used to love watching GTA 4 and Left 4 Dead 2 on YouTube in the like near a decade ago (man, time flies).

[sharp lake]

It was a struggle just to get one. PCs back in the day were mega expensive.

[frigid hill]

cdcbrisk has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[main gyro]

My step dad had one, he showed me how to play it.

[tacit jay]

Wolf is eating good

[modern crypt]

I'm unable to curse ahh what's the point

[sharp lake]

I was poor and still had one. I lucked out 😄

[spare canopy]

Cheaper than they are today. You could build a gaming pc for the price of a GPU today.

[sharp lake]

Computers back in the day were cheaper then they are now? LOL

[dreamy forge]

Point is to go play stalker 2 instead cussing in discord

[rancid herald]

9060 XT 16GB is probably the best gpu u can buy for a solid budget
350$
before u had to waste 3000$ to even run a game

[main gyro]

Man, I kinda miss playing Fallout 3 and Happy Wheels on the old 360 or some PC we could barely afford.

[modern crypt]

I'd like to say anything I please but if that's something I can't do so be it

[spare canopy]

What are you talking about?

[main gyro]

Been looking at the 9060, think that’s my next upgrade.

[rancid herald]

you're too young to get it, you probably grew up at RX 480 , GTX 1000 era

At every year we always had bad ports of games or games that run like crap until new hardware

People just forget it

[sharp lake]

I started with a 75MHZ Packard bell with a 800MB hard drive. daggerfall, diablo, duke nukem 3D. those were the days

[spare canopy]

Voodoo, and PC gaming before 3D cards were I thing. I got the the original doom on teh day it was released when I first got my PC... People have no idea what they are talkig about.

[main gyro]

I played Dead Space, Arkham Asylum, Happy Wheels, L4D 1&2, Black Ops 1, and Mercenaries 2 all the time back then.

Glad I got to experience ‘em in their prime.
