7/10 for what they went threw is amazing then

[fierce nexus]

Although at least Kerry is available

[charred nova]

bravo to them i agree but

[cyan mulch]

Imagine not going threw what all that happend

[charred nova]

but that doesn't matter

the product is what it is

[ruby gale]

Panam all the way, can't convince me otherwise

[fierce nexus]

I think the fact that they put out a game at all is admirable

[charred nova]

thats just how fair reviewing works

[fierce nexus]

They could've easily just quit

[cyan mulch]

product almost was not out at all remember

[charred nova]

i mean hey

[ruby gale]

Fc6 is the worst, compared to 5 its abysmal

[cyan mulch]

Was that better off?

[charred nova]

dunno maybe

lmao

once the illusion was shattered

it kinda ruined it all yah know

[cyan mulch]

I am just saying companys rarely go threw what they did and still games comes out broken

[charred nova]

i think it massively hurt the game in the long run

[cyan mulch]

this game has alot of work to be done on, not saying its not but the fact it even came out amazes me

[fierce nexus]

This

[charred nova]

i mean yah i can agree with that

[ruby gale]

Because companies dont have to try anymore, they can just "fix it over time" and dont, like suicide squad

[fierce nexus]

Suicide Squad was a joke

I knew better than to buy that slop

[ruby gale]

Femboy joker

[fierce nexus]

Even slop has its upsides

Jk

[ruby gale]

No, he was hideous

[cyan mulch]

Now again i am not saying its ok the game came out in a huge mess, But i can understand because what they went trough and its not normal gaming stuff the company get i mean they had some issues with that to but thats not the main reason

[ruby gale]

I prefer the movie suicide Joker vs the game one

[fierce nexus]

Best joker is Heath let's be real

[ruby gale]

Ofc

[cyan mulch]

whats bethesda exuse for 76?

[fierce nexus]

76 isn't even bad anymore

That hate is just forced now

[ruby gale]

76 was garbage and I still can't even get into it

[fierce nexus]

Abysmal at launch tho

[ruby gale]

Compared to 4 its nothing and I can't get over that

[cyan mulch]

Ive seen my friend play it yesterday, it was not good and whats up with the sun

Why is it so bright

[torn gate]

76 didn't have any excuse to be that buggy at release unlike stalker 2

[fierce nexus]

Good ole bugthesda

[ruby gale]

I rarely have games crash on me but 76 crashed and lagged all the time

[fierce nexus]

Creation Engine

76 rarely crashes for me

Very rarely

[cyan mulch]

i had to wear sunglasses to watch the stream

[torn gate]

Even starfield wasn't safe from it

[cursive kettle]

OMG I JUS COMPLETED STALKER SOC BY ||JOINING THE CONTAINMENT OF THE ZONE|| NOW I WANNA BE A MONOLITH FRRR

[ruby gale]

Starfield could've been good but they relied too heavily on modders but then didn't cooperate with them

[charred nova]

this is an amazing peak into what the game was orginally gonna be like

so many things talked about here never made it

[cyan mulch]

hah this is not the first stalker game comes out a mess and after years of updates they are knowned for what they are now

[charred nova]

i paid for this magazine back in the day to read this lol

[torn gate]

Even the modders didn't want to mod that game not even a NSFW mod

[cursive kettle]

WHAT? WE COULD'VE BEEN MONOLITHIANS? i mean maybe we can do too in S2 and i just didn't complete it-

[charred nova]

FOR EXAMPLE

[ruby gale]

Because Bethesda apparently wasnt communicating or giving the tools they needed, like the fact there's still no custom animations

[charred nova]

we orginally were gonna have sub version of mutants

[cyan mulch]

Btw games rarely come out as they look when they are first showed out, its most of the time proof of conconcept a movie rendered to show off what they want

[charred nova]

where different parts of the zone

would have had slightly different variants of mutants

[torn gate]

THAT WOULD'VE SO COOL F@CK

[ruby gale]

Its pretty much the equivalent of concept cars

[cursive kettle]

all this planning, promises and projects for nothing?

[cyan mulch]

But it is what companys do, You think the first time they showed stalker 2 was real gameplay in anyway? it was a rendered video

[fickle hill]

We probably would of had 6 or7 total endings

[charred nova]

all is written in the shining zone

[torn gate]

Yeah and now the modding scene for starfield is pretty dead

[cursive kettle]

tru

[charred nova]

uh no

[cursive kettle]

which part

[charred nova]

thats retarded

playing as monolithians is dumb

[ruby gale]

I just want an option to continue game after the ending

[charred nova]

never gonna be a thing

[cyan mulch]

Why not, We all ready played both as a merch and military man

[fickle hill]

Like far cry right?

[charred nova]

monolithians have no free will

[ruby gale]

It is dead, there's pretty much nothing new and creators are actively changes mod descriptions to say they're no longer modding starfield

[charred nova]

how can you play as them

[cyan mulch]

How did u play with strelok in the first game?

[torn gate]

Let's us dream

[ruby gale]

Like fc5 and cp2077

[charred nova]

strelok isn't a monolithian

💀

[cyan mulch]

No hes c-consciousness agent

[charred nova]

totally different thing

[cyan mulch]

You are willing filling orders when u start the game blindly lol

[cursive kettle]

didn't the scientist green guy said when talking to Strelok that the monolith were the people that contained the zone and defended the center? im sped fr if i didn't understand who did that and i misunderstood

[charred nova]

monolithians are controlled by c con

[torn gate]

Say what you will about gsc at least they gave us modding tools for this game

[charred nova]

or were

[fickle hill]

From C con to Faust to practically depending on the ending Strelok

[charred nova]

monolithians exsiting at all

[cyan mulch]

so are c-consciousness agents lol

[charred nova]

kinda makes no sense with the given lore

[ruby gale]

Its weird because fo4 is pretty much the only Bethesda game still being modded, skyrim got screwed by heavy moderation removing the mods everyone used

[charred nova]

not completely

as is clearly shown in soc

[cyan mulch]

Sterlok lost hes memory

[charred nova]

okay and?

[cursive kettle]

who's the scientist at the end tho?

[charred nova]

that is c con

[cursive kettle]

a system? the C-con system?

[cyan mulch]

What do you mean ok? he did not remember anything yet he followed orders blindly

They are programmed with the task by c-consciousness

[charred nova]

his only memory was he had to kill strelok

how he did that was entirely up to him but had to do it

monolithians aren't like that at all

lol

[cursive kettle]

well as explained, Strelok was a Stalker sent to do a mission, but a mistake was made and his mission was to kill himself

[charred nova]

which he did not do

[ruby gale]

[cursive kettle]

what was the true mission tho, and isn't the C-con who sends stalkers in the zone with the death truck?

[torn gate]

As much as I don't like fallout 4 the fact its modding scene is not dead 10 years later is amazing

[cyan mulch]

what do you mean tho most of monolith are composed of brainwashed agents tho.

[charred nova]

they are fully brainwashed

they can't act freely at all

its literally shown in stalker 2

lol

[ruby gale]

Because there's so much to do and mod, and most the time it still fits the immersion

[fickle hill]

Nope in fact dr Ludocha said they act by Psi influence

[cursive kettle]

maybe the mission was to steal sidorovich's chicken

[charred nova]

and who is influencing the psi

[fickle hill]

C con shocker I know

[cursive kettle]

is the lore intense like Soc in the sequels too or SoC is the most full of lore?

[charred nova]

yah its almost like they don't have free will

[ruby gale]

Think fast chucklenuts

[fickle hill]

I was also reinforcing your arguement based on my expierence

[torn gate]

And yet they updated the game And almost killed the modding scene but it's still alive now lol

[charred nova]

so then we agree

lol

[fickle hill]

Pretty much

[charred nova]

🤝

[torn gate]

Today's lesson is Slavery

[charred nova]

nah

its more than that

[ruby gale]

Yeah the next gen update was bad but modders love fo4 so much they stuck around and fixed it

[charred nova]

slaves can run away

monolithians can not

[torn gate]

Slavery that goes in the mind

[cursive kettle]

tho why aren't they zombies if theire brainwashed from psi?

[charred nova]

because zombies have had there minds completely destroyed

[cursive kettle]

too much dose of psi?

[torn gate]

Both fallout 4 fans and stalker fans are keeping their games alive for years

[charred nova]

think thats how the lore goes

im not the warhammer 40k lore mf for stalker

[ruby gale]

Best communities of any game

[charred nova]

as its said basically monolithians have had all ability to resist psi influence removed

hence why they are fully controlled while regular stalker are able to resist that psi influence

[ruby gale]

Warframe community is also pretty good but its definitely declining

[cursive kettle]

why tho in a s2 mission we go like in a basement with a lot of corpses laying around that you loot and after putting the power on they magically have guns and they come alive again(which they shouldn't since their dead, you can shoot them in the head and they will still come back alive after you turn the power on)

[fickle hill]

All self control stripped just to be able to make use of a regenerator

[charred nova]

because it opperates assuming you don't

game logic

[torn gate]

Safe to say I'm proud to be a stalker fan and a part of me wants to play fallout 4 again after this

[charred nova]

enough boob and sex mods to last 1000 years

[cursive kettle]

I still can't get over the magical guns tho

[ruby gale]

Sometimes i lose my self control when I see a refrigerator, which is what I thought you said at first

[charred nova]

[torn gate]

That's probably what's keeping fallout 4 alive

[fickle hill]

[charred nova]

wait till they make em for stalker 2

[ruby gale]

Nah, the fo4 weapon mods are insanely good

[charred nova]

probably wont actually cus modding scene for this game seems to be pretty small

[torn gate]

You know they won't release them on Xbox

[charred nova]

who cares

xbox sucks anyways

[torn gate]

I play Xbox 💔

[fickle hill]

Men in Bikinis on the grass of restok

[ruby gale]

I just want a companion to roam the zone with at the very least, help me carry these 20 weapons i want to sell

[cyan mulch]

So is scar a agent from the start of clear sky?

[torn gate]

It'll probably get bigger with Time

[ruby gale]

Maybe

I've always been debating getting a pc but I just can't get myself to start saving for one

[charred nova]

why console will never get sex mods

[torn gate]

I'm using all my money to bomb your house

[charred nova]

so 0 dollars

YAH BROKE BITCH

[torn gate]

Wanna join spark little creature?

[cyan mulch]

Don't do it

[charred nova]

ill scam the fucken life out of you

[cyan mulch]

So you are monolith?!

[ruby gale]

What are you part Indian?

[fierce nexus]

Don't remind me

[charred nova]

no

[cyan mulch]

I feel bad for monolith, and zombies

[charred nova]

idk what it is what modern people not wanting free will

jobless retards after all maybe it makes sense

[cyan mulch]

Sounds like freedom

[torn gate]

Join the monolith or spark and it'll all make sense

[charred nova]

maybe thats who the monolithan mind set appeals too

[charred nova]

how does that apply to freedom at all lol

[torn gate]

Don't talk trash about my weed smoking buddies

[cyan mulch]

i did not apply it for ur comment i just said it sounds like freedom in general

[torn gate]

This is why duty is stuck up in their little no fun corner

[charred nova]

i was gonna say something far worse but

i think thats too far

ONE DAY

they will set me free

[ruby gale]

Never

[fierce nexus]

Here stalker, take this

[torn gate]

Say it you got free will

[charred nova]

i could

[cyan mulch]

We need the sin faction

[charred nova]

but it would make gsc very angry

[fickle hill]

We don't want that as of now

[ruby gale]

Wolf is eyeing you from across the room

[cyan mulch]

Bring back dark stalkers

[charred nova]

more likely it would get screen shotted and show up on reddit

[torn gate]

Wolf won't mind

[fierce nexus]

Had the Sin patch loaded up

[charred nova]

sin were cut for a reason

sin is dumb

[wide veldt]

I made strelock a god?????

[fickle hill]

That happened in a server almost a year ago actually

[torn gate]

Redditers can't hurt you here

[plain fiber]

Hello all, I am indeed still alive.

[charred nova]

no but it can hurt gsc else where lol

[cyan mulch]

My man

[torn gate]

I hope the redditers hurt you

[plain fiber]

Redditors are reeing like crazy at the Ready or Not devs right now.

[ruby gale]

Redditers are mentally handicapped

[fickle hill]

They might be a little too round to move from their chairs ya know

[plain fiber]

Depends on the sub really.

[ruby gale]

I heard about that

[torn gate]

Their moms can push them out of the basement

[plain fiber]

I oppose censorship on principle, but I also think that the community's outrage is misdirected and more overzealous than it needs to be.

[cyan mulch]

They should not touch the pc version

[ruby gale]

Some people are just pusspuss

And not the good kind

[charred nova]

isn't it not censored on pc

[cyan mulch]

I don't understand that, Make the console one cencored

[plain fiber]

Pretty sure they legally have no choice. They also said that people will be fully allowed to mod that stuff back in if they want to.

[plain fiber]

It's going to be.

[cyan mulch]

It will be updated soon if u want to or not

[charred nova]

ALRIGHT

everyone grab a brick

[torn gate]

I wish it wasn't censored on here either dude

[plain fiber]

Apparently it's because they're going to allow crossplay.

[charred nova]

boo hoo bitch

IDC

don't censor muh pc

[cyan mulch]

What do you mean leaglly have to, they can easily make a censor option to turn on and off on pc

Force it on console

[ruby gale]

Gonna be honest, crossplay shouldn't exist

[torn gate]

Grab a stick we're doing a revolution

[charred nova]

dude they new this on xbox 360

[wide veldt]

For me freedom was the best outcome and i still dont like that ending strelock became god of the zone and wont let anyone leave

[plain fiber]

The censorship requirements are being pushed on VOID by Microsoft, Sony, and various country ratings boards.

@cyan mulch Whatever legal contract(s) they have for the console release might bar them from doing such an option.

[charred nova]

if they let the mfs playing cod on wii in the cod lobbies with the 360 and ps3 guys

they would have beat your ass bro

[wide veldt]

That isnt freedom

im confused

[charred nova]

you and the rest of us

[plain fiber]

It's freedom for the Zone itself from outside influences.

[charred nova]

BUT LETS BE REAL HERE GUYS

[cyan mulch]

Thats why you make a diffrent versiopn with forced censeorship

[charred nova]

if people found a way to play games on pc using a wii pointer remote

they would clap us all

[plain fiber]

VOID might not have the resources to do that.

[charred nova]

people don't understand how op the wii remote control scheme is for aiming

[plain fiber]

I loved the Wii controls in MP3: Corruption.

[ruby gale]

I really need to get back to killing floor 2

[cyan mulch]

What resources? they gonna have to do the consership anyway

[plain fiber]

Time? Money? People? Y'know, the usual?

[torn gate]

I guess it could be worse they could have an update that breaks the whole game

[wide veldt]

Bout to just go through again and go with the ward

[cyan mulch]

What time and what money, Its the same version of the game with forced on censorship

[torn gate]

Ew the Ward?

[plain fiber]

If we're talking about Ready or Not, I think we should be very happy that the censorship wasn't something like the removal of an entire map.

[charred nova]

like who remembers when ww2 games contained the forbidden pin wheel

I REMEMBER

[wide veldt]

Better than being a brainwashed zombie

[torn gate]

The doctor's ending

[plain fiber]

My guy, do you think that they just press a button to censor things? Actively maintaining two separate branches of a game and updating it at the same time is a lot of work.

[cyan mulch]

If you all ready making a version for conslole means you are all ready spending resources, why touch the pc version

[charred nova]

from what ive heard

[plain fiber]

Because they have to for crossplay to be allowed.

[charred nova]

the censorship is pretty minor

all things considered

[cyan mulch]

No but i am learing game development making a game for a consloe is whole diffrent app, you don't have to modify the pc one if u are all ready making another one

[torn gate]

Does the game really need cross play tho?

[plain fiber]

It is. The only ones that I'm mildly bothered by is the trafficking victims now wearing underwear and the ODing child in the map I can't remember the name of no longer convulsing on the bed. I do genuinely believe that those added to the atmosphere and horror that the game was trying to convey.

[charred nova]

look bro i don't want those console soy boys in my lobbies ight keep em out

[torn gate]

We hate you too dw

[charred nova]

you hate us cus you an't us

[cyan mulch]

Thats where you are wrong, You can make cross play with pc having it unconsored and consloe having it consored

[charred nova]

this^

[torn gate]

[charred nova]

it would be an easy client level change

pc players see one thing

console players see another

[cyan mulch]

They are two diffrent clients, you modify the other its not a big deal

[plain fiber]

Again, depending on whatever contractual agreements they've signed to, they might also not legally be allowed to make a separate, non-censored branch of the game. I could see Microsoft or Sony justifying it through some BS "We need to make sure that console players are getting the same game." argument.

[cyan mulch]

If they are lazy thats a other story

[charred nova]

i mean

the game has mods right

so im sure someone will drop a mod day one that just reverts the censorship

[plain fiber]

VOID have literally said that players are welcome and allowed to do that.

[cyan mulch]

Should not be a mod if its all ready base in the game it was a feature from launch

Making a filter option is the best way to do it

[plain fiber]

Unless Microsoft and Sony and the various ratings boards they're having to deal with told them "No". VOID isn't a huge company and they don't have a publisher who can act as their "business daddy" in negotiations. The mild censorship we're getting is probably the best compromise they could reach.

[cursive kettle]

yo, I did the 2nd ending where i destroy the green capsules, yikes i seen the shining zone

[plain fiber]

Congrats, you're a zombie now.

*shoots you in the head to end your suffering*

[cursive kettle]

huh? how does Strelok become a zombie after that ending?

[plain fiber]

Ah shit, I'm getting my endings mixed up. Never mind.

[cyan mulch]

No you submit a modifyed version of the game.

[charred nova]

that ending basically dooms every person in the zone to die

as they are consumed by the mutants of the zone

unable to fight back

[cursive kettle]

but why Strelok sees the shining zone tho

[plain fiber]

So...lie to Microsoft and Sony and various countries' ratings boards?

[charred nova]

he tells you why

its fake

[torn gate]

Welcome to the shining zone brother

[charred nova]

its literally an illusion made by a machine

[plain fiber]

@cursive kettle Are we talking about Shadow of Chernobyl or STALKER 2 here?

[cyan mulch]

You don't lie, They have standarts to release it on their plathform this has nothing to do with the pc version of the game

[cursive kettle]

but why it happens when he shoots the capsules?

[charred nova]

dunno

[cursive kettle]

SoC

[cyan mulch]

Pc version is whole diffrent app

[cursive kettle]

i seen the generators too and they were a bit uhh, smol and cramped up since the space was little for them

[plain fiber]

Mother of God....VOID has said repeatedly that it's because of cross-play. Yes it's possible to have two separate branches of the game with one for PC and one for consoles, but Microsoft and Sony are not letting them.

[cyan mulch]

But they let others?

[charred nova]

tbh in cases like these

idc

download the mod

stop complaining

bigger fish to fry

[cyan mulch]

And who said void is telling you the truth?

[cursive kettle]

ohh yall talking ab ready or not? yea it's such a shame that it's gonna release on console lowk, i dont want a copy of Rainbow six, i prefer that it stayed on pc and so it could've develop more lowk

[charred nova]

LITERALLY WHO CARES BRO

its not gonna change

you can cry and cry

nothing will change

download the mod and be happy

[cyan mulch]

I don't care i don't even own the game, there is a point and its that their lazy

It has nothing to do with sony or microsoft lol

[cursive kettle]

i heard ab VOID that the New devs are the cause of this

[plain fiber]

What other game on the market tackles CSAM like RoN does? The subject matter and the context in which it is presented are going to matter to console manufacturers and ratings boards.

[plain fiber]

Oh Jesus Christ, please don't start veering off into actual conspiracy theories.

[cyan mulch]

Rules are rules it does not matter how it applys

If a other company can do it, they can do

[cursive kettle]

dam 3 am here, i woke up at 8 am but my goofy sleep schedule is solid

[cyan mulch]

Agony is a good exmaple for a game

[charred nova]

by that example nothing can be trusted

everyone is a liar

full black pill mind set

[cyan mulch]

Like i said who said void is telling the truth

[charred nova]

who said void would lie

🤨

assuming malice where none exists is dumb

[plain fiber]

Agony's console release and initial PC release were censored...

[cyan mulch]

PC got a patch tho, consloe version kept the same

[torn gate]

What's the void and tf is happening?

[plain fiber]

Agony also doesn't have cross-play multiplayer.

[charred nova]

look we are going in circles this is retarded

[plain fiber]

VOID Interactive, the dev studio behind Ready or Not.

[shell flax]

Ready or Not’s devs

[charred nova]

lets talk about something else

[plain fiber]

Yes please. Let's talk about why American vehicle manufacturing standards are bad.

[torn gate]

Ohhh and yeah let's talk about our God monolith

[charred nova]

thats a good topic actually

lets discuss

please mr tim lead the discussion

[cursive kettle]

i think that RoN is limited on console for stupid Imaginary regulations and because it's ambiented in a current modern time, making it more realistic, look at rdr2, it has dismembrent, blood, realistic deaths, you can literally burn bodies or torture people but since the time line is from years ago no one cares, but idk why RoN is targeted for it because it's "too graphic and visual for console players", i mean, if the game is 18+ i think that it's pretty much all that it's gotta be, why degrading the quality of a game for players that will need to be still over 18? i dont understand

[plain fiber]

Let's just move on please? It's exhausting discussing this topic.

Either VOID are lying or Microsoft, Sony, and ratings boards are unfair. Frankly, I think the latter is more believable than the former in this instance.

[cursive kettle]

i mean i wrote for pretty much 5 mins so i didn't want it to go to waste lmao

[cyan mulch]

regluations are for the console version and it has nothing to do with the pc version devs can make a option thats forced upon console players to censorship and it works on crossplay

If there is no problems with buldars gate 3 i don't see a problem that should be with RoN

[plain fiber]

If you seriously can't see a difference between the subject matter in RoN and the subject matter in BG3, I don't know what to tell you.

Please, let's just move on.

If it actually comes out

[fierce nexus]

Nintendo set a bad precedent

[plain fiber]

Thank you.

So, I'm an urbanist, and I'm anti-car. However, I am not anti-car in the sense that I believe all cars should be outright banned, but I do believe that cars in the US have become too big and bulky, especially crossovers/SUVs, and pickup trucks. I believe that we need to adjust/add regulations to force automakers into making smaller, more fuel-efficient cars more readily available to the public.

I'm also a proponent of making public transportation more readily and widely available, reducing car dependency in day-to-day life, scaling our infrastructure around people rather than cars, and adding more greenspace to cities.

[fierce nexus]

Based

[torn gate]

And GTA 6 is 100 or 200 dollars people will still buy it and most definitely more games will start becoming 200 dollars

[sharp lake]

ive been in this discord for like a week now and ive yet to see one " get out of here stalker".

[fierce nexus]

In ashamed to admit I'd pay $100 for GTA 6

I'm part of the problem

[charred nova]

i just wont buy it tbh

dont care not paying

[plain fiber]

Additionally, I believe that we also need to greatly improve and expand our rail network, and that it should be nationalized rather than being run by three gigantic corporations. Public high-speed rail should be built as well.

For trucking, I think it would be better if we adopted European standards for our trucking industry, especially when it comes to things like vehicle length and working hours.

[torn gate]

I'll pay 500 for it I'm proudly part of the problem

[plain fiber]

There's probably more I could add, but I think I'll leave it at that.

[charred nova]

subaru impreza lol

[cursive kettle]

STOP WITH THIS NON SENSEEE WHO THE HELL SAID IN ROCKSTAR GAMES THAT GAME WILL BE 100€? IT'S A GOOFY AHH RUMOR SOMEONE SAID AND STUPID PEOPLE SPREADED IT

(Prices on release)

gta4: 60€
gta5:60€
Rdr1:60€
Rdr2:60€
Red dead revolver:50€
gta3:50€

DO YOU SEE 100€?

[cyan mulch]

I don't understand how is that spouse to be a lesbian car or what car is defied to be a lesbian car lol

[plain fiber]

I've seen plenty of nice houses in urban neighborhood developments. Sure you don't usually get the huge lawn you get in suburbia, but imo that kind of thing is overrated.

[plain fiber]

Subarus have the stereotype of being "Lesbian" cars because the company directly targeted lesbians with their advertising in the 90s.

[charred nova]

people just call it a lesbian car

[cyan mulch]

Is that a western thing?

[plain fiber]

This was in the US, yes.

[charred nova]

well in the us most cars are not manual anymore

else where this is not the case

euro boys love manual gear box

[cyan mulch]

Well im in the middle east, I got no clue about that lol

[plain fiber]

I'm not sure if the lesbian marketing extended to other countries or not, but at least here, the stereotype exists.

[sharp lake]

100 dollars isnt bad for a game like GTA 6

[charred nova]

im not paying

[cyan mulch]

I don't think gta will be 100$

[cursive kettle]

we are in the cringe all touch screen era, i hope cars will not completely be only automatic and have a big screen inside with no touch toggles, hell

[charred nova]

already reality lil bro

[cursive kettle]

Tell me the source of that, no one ever said in Rockstar that gta6 was gonna be 100, its just a stupid rumor

[cursive kettle]

i mean ALL the cars, not just tesla or sum

[torn gate]

I meant If GTA 6 was 100 dollars people will still buy not it's going to be 100 dollars (it might be knowing video game companies)

[cyan mulch]

I think gta will be 70$

[violet dune]

mario kart 80$ and everyone bought

[cursive kettle]

i know Rockstar and they aren't Activision or any shity other greedy company

[violet dune]

u say rockstart not greedy?

[torn gate]

God why would anyone buy a kart game for 80 dollars?

[cyan mulch]

90-100 dephends where u live in the world

[cursive kettle]

braindead mentally sped people

[violet dune]

i think u dont realize how gaming studios work these days

[cursive kettle]

for their kids 100%

[plain fiber]

I hate it too, and it's actively dangerous.

Also Mazda is apparently getting rid of their dial infotainment controls, so I'm definitely never buying a new one now.

[cyan mulch]

No, not just for their kids.

[sharp lake]

id pay 120 dollars for GTA 6

[shell flax]

Rockstar? Not greedy?

[plain fiber]

Eh.....

[cursive kettle]

i just listed Rockstar price of games on releases, theire all about 60 and 50,nothing mor
not all the games obv

[cyan mulch]

Problem is rockstar don't set the price, Take two does

[violet dune]

60 eur game 17 years ago

[plain fiber]

I wouldn't put Rockstar on the same level as EA or Activision.

[cursive kettle]

Rdr2 was 60 on release

[cyan mulch]

that was 2018 we are in 2025

[violet dune]

if you think they will sell the most anticipated game of all time for 60 😄

[cursive kettle]

why are you trying to make Rockstar seem like some greed only guided game house? from where you get the source of those 100€?

[torn gate]

I really hope it's not 100 dollars but it could be and realistic a lot of people will still buy it (including me)

[frigid hill]

digitalgoblin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cyan mulch]

I think they will sell it 70$

[violet dune]

not with the budget they put in in that game

[cyan mulch]

i never said its going to be 100 euro

[violet dune]

u are dreaming if u think they wont milk the s**t out of gta

[charred nova]

uh yah

[cursive kettle]

it's gonna be 80€ at max, i think that MAYBE it will be 100€ for pre-orders, but on release it will not be a crazy price

[charred nova]

old cars just better imo

cable throttles

manual gear box

[cyan mulch]

Like i said my opnion is 70$ dollars i never claimed once its 100 euro or dollars

[charred nova]

reliable engines

[cyan mulch]

All i said is its not 2018 and rockstar don't set the prices take two does

[violet dune]

people will be shocked than they see 120 eur tag on base edition 😄

[cursive kettle]

imagine having a Bluetooth steering bar, id not trust it

[torn gate]

I'm just buying the cheapest one even if it explodes immediately

[plain fiber]

I think they're kind of going to have to sell it above $60 if they want to see any profit. Aren't they putting a ludicrous amount of money into the game?

[cyan mulch]

They will profit

[charred nova]

im thinking about getting a rhd gen 1 subaru sti

they aren't that expensive

[cyan mulch]

Question is how much they want to

[charred nova]

and imo they fuck so hard bro

[plain fiber]

You see the new WRX Impreza that's been teased?

[charred nova]

🥱

cvt only

literally couldn't care less

[torn gate]

That's what is concerning me

[plain fiber]

Is it? I thought it had the option of manual?

[cursive kettle]

it's the biggest game ever created so yeah, but i assure you that the income will greatly overwhelm Rockstar

[charred nova]

oh maybe it does

but they got rid of the ej engine

its not the same

[plain fiber]

Maybe it's just a hatch WRX. I can't remember if it's part of the Impreza lineup or not.

[cyan mulch]

we will have to wait and see i guess, Its all rumors and guesses, i think it will be 70 bucks this game will sell it self for many years like their other titles

[plain fiber]

I don't know what the engine specs are, but I hate that they put such low-profile tires on it.

[torn gate]

That's what I'm hoping but I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher

[plain fiber]

I could see GTA VI being sold for $70 or $80.

[fierce nexus]

Yeah

[cyan mulch]

We will never know untill we have a offical word from R* take eveything in grain of salt untill then

[fierce nexus]

Definitely

[plain fiber]

Ooooh!

[cyan mulch]

IS mazda 2 counts a lesbian car in the US?

[plain fiber]

Not to my knowledge.

[charred nova]

mazdas are cool

but there econo manuals are trash

my buddy has one

such a fiddly 5 speed

idk he loves it but i find it super annoying

[cyan mulch]

Mines automatic

[plain fiber]

I kind of think CVTs get more hate than they deserve. Nissan really did a number on their reputation by having garbage CVTs in their vehicles that do that fake shifting BS.

[violet dune]

the bigger problem is not gta for 100$, but other companies thinking they also can put price like this for their half baked BS game

[plain fiber]

The new Nissan Versa comes in a 5(?)-speed manual, so if you need a brand new car for under $20k, that's probably your only option, at least in the US.

[charred nova]

cvts are kinda stupid

because they don't even use them properly

subaru turns them into having like 8 imaginary gears

instead of having a true infinite gear rtatio

[plain fiber]

Yeah, I wish they'd stop doing that.

[cyan mulch]

When ppl are buying mario kart like they did thats a huge part of the problem

[charred nova]

im pretty sure they do it cus people hate it

makes cars feel super weird

[violet dune]

take two saw this and was like HELL YEAH, green light 😄

[charred nova]

because they don't have a power curve anymore

they just go

[plain fiber]

At least they aren't Nissan CVTs.

[cyan mulch]

Thats what i am afraid of.... hoping for the best tho

[plain fiber]

Fake shifting and they have a tendency to just die.

[charred nova]

look man

no car is a real car unless its got 3 pedals

and a clutch

manaul gear box lasts forever

[plain fiber]

I'd love a Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness with a manual gearbox, that's my dream car right there.

[cyan mulch]

Ever drove a APC? how lovely is it to drive with sticks insted of a wheel

[plain fiber]

Nope, never been in the military and as far as I know, none of the bases around here do tours that allow for civvies to tote around the base in one.

I've driven a semi-truck though.

[cyan mulch]

That i did not do

[plain fiber]

Manual is more fun, but for a day-to-day commuter car, I'd rather have an automatic.

[charred nova]

pussy shit bro

you live and die by the stick

through thick and thin

[cyan mulch]

Are the friendly mutants from Cop back for you guys to in stalker 2 after the new patch?

[lone edge]

Okay I'm getting really pissed off about this so I have a quest a main story quest in duga why are the enemies in the sniper towers one their immortal and their one shot of me I literally turned down the difficulty to see if I'm crazy nope they're one shot of me on the easiest difficulty what the F

[cyan mulch]

Are you raiding the duga?

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch I have to head to rendezvous point

So no matter what I have to go to duga why are they one shotting me

[marsh radish]

Am I the only one experiencing frequent crashing for stalker 2 on Xbox

[lone edge]

@marsh radish I have been playing all day I haven't crashed until once and that was teleporting

[cyan mulch]

My question is with who ever side u are with raiding, are they raiding with you, untill you assult the front gate u won't be able to kill the sniper

[charred nova]

my great uncle who fought in Vietnam

[marsh radish]

Weird. It's been a reoccurring issue for me

[charred nova]

hes over 70 now

[cyan mulch]

If i remember correctly

[charred nova]

and he still has nothing but manual cars

some even have manual steering racks

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch get not killing them but why are they one-shotting me I shouldn't be having that issue even on the easiest difficulty like I get it if they're shooting on me I shouldn't be there but don't one shot me I have to walk past them I guess I will just go around the long way

[plain fiber]

Look, I'd buy a manual if they were more readily available, but the kind of car I plan on getting doesn't offer manual anymore.

[cyan mulch]

Maybe you are outgeared? cuz i did not get one shooted there when i assuled the front gate with who ever i sided with

[plain fiber]

I remember bringing up possibly buying a manual car with some friends at lunch, and one of them compared it riding in a covered wagon.

Like, I love you Johnny, but also f*ck you.

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch I'm wearing the diamond exo suit I highly doubt that I'm under geared

[charred nova]

yah get an old one

or get one from japan

where they don't salt the roads

[plain fiber]

Why don't they salt the roads? Concerns over ocean salinity or something I'm assuming?

[charred nova]

pretty sure they use sand instead

[cyan mulch]

Who did u side with? are u going to the underground tunnel or front gate assault?

[plain fiber]

That works too.

[charred nova]

think its cus it rots out cars

and yah know

that sucks

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch I with scar does it really matter what side I pick

[plain fiber]

I live in Upstate New York, it 100% rots out cars. Except for the alternator dying, every problem I've had with my Honda Civic so far has been on the undercarriage.

[gentle citrus]

One of those Zone cars

[cyan mulch]

Yes the raid mission plays diffrent who u raid with

[strong onyx]

I love the better ballistics mod

[cyan mulch]

So u went with scar u did the underground tunnel u enter the base and u get one shotted?

[strong onyx]

Happened upon a group of bandits next to a campfire. They went hostile and before they could even grab their weapons I mowed them down on full auto.

[plain fiber]

I was all looking forward to an A-Life comparison video from ZoneSlug when 1.5 dropped but he hasn't uploaded one yet.

Sadness.

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch no I've done that now I have to go back I'm just walking past the wall and every time I do they're just shooting me like I said I have to walk around

[cyan mulch]

So you are after the duga raid?

[lone edge]

I'll give you the exact mission I'm on happiness for everyone

@cyan mulch

[gentle citrus]

Can anyone say if the Mutant Armor increases with difficulty lvl?

[plain fiber]

"HAPPINESS, FREE, FOR EVERYONE, AND LET NO ONE BE FORGOTTEN!"

[gentle citrus]

It kinda feels less Armorish but now and they are just bit faster and make more damage

[cyan mulch]

thats the duga raid

[plain fiber]

God, Roadside Picnic is such a great book.

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch there's actually two raids because the first time you have to go and find out he can make duplicates of himself so you have to get out and then come back

[cyan mulch]

But it changes with who u side with, like i asked did u go into the tunnel?

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch I already did the tunnel stuff and the doors locked so when I go back to the spot I can't go through so now I kind of have to infiltrate it I guess

But regardless I'm still getting one shot in duga I think I should be able to explore it regardless of what side I pick

[plain fiber]

I'm off to bed. G'night all!

[cyan mulch]

Only after u kill faust u can roam the duga, otherwise monolith is there

the moment u enter u get sniped one shooted

the side you chose does not matter

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch right I this is my second playthrough I do remember killing Faust but my game was bugged because the beginning area of teleport was no longer an option 😔 so I decided to restart so I can't remember the whole thing 😓

[cyan mulch]

I did my firth plathrough with spark raiding so i don't remember much

Maybe trying looking at a video?

check dms i've sent u a video that show how to past that exact part u are having issues with

[lone edge]

@cyan mulch it's fine I got around and my frames drop as soon as I walked through the gates and killed the monolithians and crashed fun 😊

I didn't know if it was a bug or something I don't know because it was weird getting one shot because I didn't get detected and just pop and dead so I thought it was a bug

[torn gate]

What did I miss

[charred nova]

I was sitting at my desk about ready to go to bed

And the power goes out

Sigh….

[cyan mulch]

Why do u need power if u are going to bed

Do you also sleep with the tv on?

[empty hare]

People who sleep with the TV on are psychopaths

[cyan mulch]

Do you guys also get a discord notifction sound when you close ur storage box?

[charred nova]

To charge muh phone

[misty sinew]

background noise unironically helps some people fall aslep. I fall asleep to family guy compilations lol

[charred nova]

Hold on

Let me check down stairs

Oh

There’s still WiFi

[empty hare]

I can only do white noise like a fan or similar, if it's someone speaking/music/etc itll keep me up all night

[fierce nexus]

Mmm tea

[charred nova]

I think my room tripped the breaker

Dumb ass bitch

Why this happen

[cyan mulch]

Bro i can sleep in a middle of a metal concert if i am tierd

[fierce nexus]

(Sleeps to Lorna Shore)

[charred nova]

Yah

It tripped the breaker

Wowwwww

[cyan mulch]

Would you believe if i told u it was at a metallica concert? 😛

well a festival

[charred nova]

I was watching a video about some horror game on my pc so

That was kinda spooky lol

[cyan mulch]

what game

[torn gate]

Lorna shore?

[charred nova]

Btw is going on

The breaker won’t stay on

Wtffff

Okay now it’s working

Good

[fierce nexus]

Deathcore band

[sharp lake]

ive seen lorna shore live

[fierce nexus]

https://youtu.be/JwDfiEgo4PE?feature=shared

@torn gate

[fierce nexus]

I want to

Still need to go see Sleep Token as well

[sharp lake]

Do you like SPITE?

[fierce nexus]

Not familiar with them

[sharp lake]

my favorite deathcore band ATM

[torn gate]

Had me at deathcore

[fierce nexus]

My favorite band is The Amity Affliction

Saw them live right before they booted their lead singer, now they've got a new one, but he's good, so I'll still listen

[wide veldt]

Is anybody working on porting pc mods to xbox at all?

like one that lets u spawn just about anything in like vanilla weapons and armor and stuff

[sharp lake]

my favorite band is between the buried and me

[fierce nexus]

Never heard of them either

[fierce nexus]

[sharp lake]

Chelsea Grin, Carnifex?

[torn gate]

You would have to ask the creator of that mod then

And again people are working on ports for Xbox gsc is slow at approving them

[fierce nexus]

Chelsea Grin sounds familiar

[sharp lake]

i forget im old

could be before your time

[wide veldt]

How would i even contact them

[fierce nexus]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1387353128268988519

[sharp lake]

anyone want to play pick out a 30 dollar mechanical keyboard with me

[fierce nexus]

Try asking there

[wide veldt]

Not everybody is in the discord

[fierce nexus]

Maybe look on their Nexus page and see if they have contact info

[wide veldt]

What do i look up to find the nexus page

never been there before

[torn gate]

Well also how would we know if he's porting to Xbox unless someone here knows him we probably won't know that answers

[ebon blade]

Two bands that were formed in 2005 and 2007 hardly makes you old. You are most likely a very young millennial or a very old Gen Z.

[wide veldt]

Theres no way to contact them i guess but they have a youtube so i commented there

[cyan mulch]

its almost 6 am and i can't get off stalker 2

[torn gate]

You sir are a true stalker

[fierce nexus]

Keep playing

Reject responsibility

Become Stalker

[fierce nexus]

[sterile radish]

shall I take pictures of thy swamps?

[torn gate]

You're gonna die but go ahead

[sterile radish]

mm.. okay

[cyan mulch]

Not the swamps!~

[sterile radish]

I have to complete all regions, its my funeral

excluding iron forest, CNPP, and generators

[strong onyx]

I spent $200 on mine 😭😭😭

[sharp lake]

oh looky who it is

i also have a 200 dollar keyboard

but its skanked out

[strong onyx]

what did you do to it?

[sharp lake]

spilled like 5 cups of tea on it

[strong onyx]

bruh

[sharp lake]

95 percent of it still works

[strong onyx]

how tf do you even spill once but five different times

[sharp lake]

k70 RBG pro, thing is a tank

maybe ill just clean it up and spend the 30 dollars on something else

[ebon blade]

My gaming keyboard

[fierce nexus]

Ubislop's new EULA is actually insane

[crystal bison]

that...

looks very interesting

[strong onyx]

I use a dorky SteelSeries keyboard

It came with a lil screen on it, this keyboard was also an innovation in the keyboard industry at the time.

[strong onyx]

Ubislop. It’s perfect.

[tacit jay]

Nice yugioh deck.

[fierce nexus]

They'll not get another cent from me

Ever

[cyan mulch]

Wonder how they gonna enfroce ppl detroying their physical copys

[fierce nexus]

No way thay BS stands up in court

[cyan mulch]

What they gonna do sue every person?

[fierce nexus]

For real

[somber rose]

Anyone have the issue to where shooting out lights does not remove the lighting until you save/reload?

[strong onyx]

Only if they get their crap together.

If they can turn it around, sure. But now with the way they are now.

Bad business practices are killing them.

[fierce nexus]

Nah, I'm done with them

I actually cheer their downfall

And I don't often do that

[strong onyx]

I don’t, they employ thousands.

[fierce nexus]

[strong onyx]

Those people don’t deserve to lose their jobs cause their management is trash.

[frigid hill]

decanus_. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[somber rose]

Sometimes crappy companies deserve to go under

[strong onyx]

Sure, maybe. But those people don’t deserve to get canned. I’d rather they stay in business.

It’s Tencent’s fault.

It’s their influence. This didn’t start happening until they got involved.

Ubisoft used to be a really good company.

[somber rose]

25% minority stake. Tencent didn't force them to make very silly design decisions with their games.

[strong onyx]

That’s…not a minority lol,

That’s a quarter of the entire company.

[somber rose]

Minority means less than 50%.

[strong onyx]

That gives them an immense amount of say.

[somber rose]

What has tencent forced upon them

[strong onyx]

I’ll refer you to my previous statement.

[somber rose]

You didn't mention anything.

just a general accusation.

People act like Tencent forces monetization, or the silliness of making the protag of a Samurai game a black guy, but they don't really do any of that.

China is socially extremely conservative, way moreso than the West. They're not doing that stuff. Ubisoft is.

[strong onyx]

But I did.

I stated their influence. I never said they forced anything. You stated that.

Tencent can’t force their way into anything. They don’t own that much of the company. Yet.

[somber rose]

You were talking about keyboards and then claimed that Ubisoft has declined, without mentioning what you take issue with.

I don't disagree that ubisoft has declined, but I doubt tencent is the reason.

[strong onyx]

But the family who owns Ubisoft has been begging Tencent for capital for quite some time now. They’ve made that pretty clear though without making it public.

[somber rose]

Considering how poorly Ubisoft is doing, I don't think they deserve the capital.

[fierce nexus]

No, I feel bad for them, but I don't think Ubisoft deserves to stay in business with as evil as they've been in recent years

[strong onyx]

I have issues with the way they do business. The way they yank their games from your library. The pure and utter slopfest that is the copy and paste of all their games.

[somber rose]

What evidence do you have to suggest this is the result of Tencent insistence?

[strong onyx]

They do not care about gamers. Most of there studios at least have PASSION FOR WHAT THEY DO. Ubisoft has none.

[strong onyx]

Where did I say I had any? Because I never I did. It’s speculation which I made very clear.

[somber rose]

I could say the same about 100 game companies, with or without Tencent minority stakes lol

[strong onyx]

Most of those companies also aren’t bending over for Tencent either.

Ubisoft is BROKE. They are DEAD BROKE.

[somber rose]

"Bending over" by having 25% of their company be owned by them? What exactly are they bending to?

[somber rose]

Good.jpeg

[strong onyx]

They’re desperate for capital which they don’t have. They’re cancelling games left and right.

[somber rose]

Maybe they shouldn't have made dumb games that no one bought.

[strong onyx]

xDefiant being a perfect example of this.

[fierce nexus]

This brings me joy

[strong onyx]

xDefiant was loved by its community and they canned it AFTER they released it. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. DUMB!

Because they can’t afford to maintain it.

[somber rose]

Trust me, Western game companies are fully capable to becoming trash without the yellow peril telling them to alienate half their playerbase.

[strong onyx]

My guess? The only reason they haven’t filed for bankruptcy yet is because of Tencent.

[somber rose]

So they're bending over to tencent by being financially propped up by them?

[strong onyx]

That’s my guess yes.

[fierce nexus]

And then they made Star Wars Outlaws

Which was horrible

[somber rose]

That's... beneficial to Ubisoft. How is that bending over?

[strong onyx]

I…I…just…I just…you-

I just went into a tirade about why?

[somber rose]

Bending over means they're getting harmed.

How is tencent harming them?

[fierce nexus]

My bf liked it somewhat, but he doesn't even touch it anymore

[somber rose]

You just mentioned that they're being financially propped up by tencent, which isn't harm

[strong onyx]

Ubisoft is BROKE. They have NO MONEY. Tencent is giving them cash and in exchange they get…nothing? No, of course they’re getting something out of it. Tencent wants to own Ubisoft.

[somber rose]

Yes, that's how companies work.

[strong onyx]

We give you money? We get to make “suggestions” on how this company runs.

“Ok”

That’s my guess anyway.

[somber rose]

Have the current owners run the company well? No? What's the difference?

[torn gate]

This makes me happy to know

[strong onyx]

Yes.

Historically yes. They have. Until recently,

[somber rose]

So the Guillemot family, who has given us such hot games as Assassin's Creed Shadows, is running the company well?

[strong onyx]

Whether you like it or not Ubisoft didn’t become a seven billion dollar corporation with over 20,000 employees if the family who owns and founded it didn’t do something right.

[strong onyx]

That’s not what you asked. Don’t move the goal post.

[somber rose]

I asked if they're doing well, and no, they've run the company into the ground. They may have founded it, but they're objectively not doing well.

[strong onyx]

They aren’t doing well NOW. Which I stated a second ago.

[somber rose]

Sometimes talented people make bad things, sometimes companies and people decline.

[strong onyx]

That’s my point.

[somber rose]

Then they should fail.

With or without Tencent, it doesn't matter. Tencent didn't make the mistakes that Ubisoft did.

[strong onyx]

Okay, then Rockstar, EA, Sony, Xbox should all go out of business.

[somber rose]

Agreed.

[strong onyx]

Nah, screw it. Let’s put the whole industry under. Just for fun.

[somber rose]

Although Rockstar is remarkably profitable and not having to beg anyone for money.

[strong onyx]

No more games. Ever. No GSC, nobody. Nothing. No games. No consoles.

[torn gate]

I only really liked assassin's Creed Odyssey from modern day Ubisoft

[somber rose]

I'm no libertarian or laissez faire capitalist, but there's a demand for these things, and people will make things to fill that demand.

[strong onyx]

They’ve all made mistakes and have done things they really shouldn’t be. But their employees shouldn’t have to suffer because of what their management did.

[torn gate]

No more stalker? 😮

[strong onyx]

GSC went out of business once. That means they deserved to fail. They don’t deserve to be in business now.

[somber rose]

That's the nature of the system we live in.

[somber rose]

GSC died because of largely happenstance. Ubisoft shot itself in the face repeatedly.

[strong onyx]

Going out of business because you made a mistake is one thing. Saying they should go out of business due to these mistakes or otherwise is anther story.

[torn gate]

Nah they deserve to continue and make more stalker games

[strong onyx]

Agreed, I was just making a point.

[somber rose]

Ubisoft has been making intentional decisions that alienated their playerbase for over a decade

[fierce nexus]

GSC came back from the brink

[torn gate]

MB I'm just slow

[strong onyx]

I don’t disagree.

[somber rose]

Okay, then let them die and let something else come from the ashes.

[fierce nexus]

GSC came back from the grave really

[somber rose]

I don't know why we have to prop up idiots making bad games.

[frigid hill]

aquaticle000 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

Sorry wolf.

Apparently tencent? You mentioned they were strapped for cash

[strong onyx]

That’s business. Isn’t what you said?

[somber rose]

I don't know the internal workings of Ubisoft, but I don't feel obligated to support their company.

[strong onyx]

Then don’t. You have to and I won’t either.

[somber rose]

Hopefully Tencent cannibalizes them and sells of their assets so newer or better companies get their talent.

[strong onyx]

But I’m not going to advocate for them to go under he sure then 20,000 people are out of jobs in an already unstable industry at the moment.

[torn gate]

I kinda want Ubisoft to go at least close to bankruptcy so they can actually learn and make good games again

[somber rose]

Eh, there are bigger issues these days than a crappy company dying.

[strong onyx]

Ubisoft in its current form is borderline vile. But under new owners? New management? Maybe tenant maybe someone else, that can change. We’ve seen it time and time again.

[somber rose]

Just don't get attached to companies. I'm definitely attached to individual game devs and I follow their careers, but they very rarely stay within a single company.

And half of them have been blacklisted due to misconduct allegations.

But they're my boys and girls and they made things I love.

[fierce nexus]

I'll trash Ubislop as much as the next guy, but we should probably stay on topic if you guys wanna continue this in #💬┃en_offtop

[ebon blade]

Been using the same keyboard since 2005.

[fierce nexus]

[somber rose]

I was just offering my tentwo cents

[tacit jay]

That's awesome lmao.

[somber rose]

I have the same mousepad since 2011. A dog wearing Ipod earbuds dancing.

[tacit jay]

Tejas, when do you think we will see Stalker 2 level ports to Coc[IWP?]

Mostly just layout changes to reflect stalker 2 versions of stuff like Rostok and so such

Not like open world map.

[ebon blade]

Since Team Epic is disbanded and their former leader now writing sci-fi novels, I would say...never.

[torn gate]

Team epic?

[tacit jay]

AS a mod, not as like an official capacity

[tacit jay]

the group that made call of chernobyl

[ebon blade]

The Modding Team's name.

[tacit jay]

the predecessor of Anomaly.

[torn gate]

Ohh yeah that's probably before my time as a stalker fan

[ebon blade]

I just don't know if there is anyone left to do that hard work.
Instead you have hacks stealing other people's work, like Anomaly and Gamma.

[tacit jay]

Pipeline was Call of pripyat > misery > call of chernobyl > call of misery and then either last day or dead air [interchangeable] then anomaly.

and yeah, major reason why I don't f/with anomaly is because of what they did with coc lol.

[ebon blade]

The Misery people were hacks.

[tacit jay]

Lmao I knew you had rad opinions lmao

[strong onyx]

I’m waiting for another sale to pick up all the games

[tacit jay]

They go on sale pretty often. Autumn or winter would be next I think

[strong onyx]

I snagged Stalker 2 on sale for Steam though. I just didn’t wanna drop $90 on games right then.

Snagged Mass Effect Legendary Edition for like $7 tho

[tacit jay]

Neat

I still need to play that. I got lots of stuff I still need to play

[strong onyx]

I haven’t played any of them lol

Figured that was the perfect chance after I’m done with stalker 2

[tacit jay]

I never played any of the ME games

I didn't like dragonage so I kinda felt like I wouldn't like ME

[torn gate]

I got them both with game pass since I'm a minority called a Xbox player

[strong onyx]

I have GamePass but for PC

[tacit jay]

I have it for both pc and xbox cause my mom lets me have TWO hotdogs.

[strong onyx]

I don’t have an Xbox. No point to own one if I have a PC reallly.

[tacit jay]

I find I spend a lot of time on the xbox, but plenty of time playing stuff on pc. I don't utilize gamepass on pc much, but do utilize cloud gaming on the occasion.

Like r/n I'm playing stalker 2 on the xbox for a bit

[strong onyx]

I prefer the performance of my PC over a console most of the time.

I do own a PS5 though.

[cyan mulch]

Same

[tacit jay]

and now you'll be able to buy stalker 2 for your ps5 soon

[cyan mulch]

Yeah thats a easy double copy

I might get the collectors if it comes out on ps5

Since i only got digital on pc and i want a physical copy

[tacit jay]

I wish I had gotten the collectors, but I don't have room for any of the stuff lol

Now if they made a special xbox skin or controller or something I probably would've gotten that for sure

Xbox started doing these wrap things. I want them to do more with cause it's a cheap and fairly easy way to customize your console

[torn gate]

Wait stalker 2 and mass effect is free on game pass why did you buy it?

[strong onyx]

I’ve been playin Stalker 2 on GamePass and it has issues.

Mass Effect for the whole IP and all DLCs was $7, and then I “own” the license to them.

Steam for Stalker 2 seems to be more stable for me.

[torn gate]

Has been alright for me but it's stalker 2 so makes sense

[hardy totem]

I've heard of people losing their saves with game-pass cloud-saves

[strong onyx]

I kept getting driver timeouts and LowLevelFatalError crashes.

[torn gate]

Surprisingly I use cloud gaming and I'm on my third playthrough and my saves are a okay

[strong onyx]

GamePass also will not work with Adrenaline unless you use the hooker, but that doesn’t work with ANY UE5 games because of the dogcrap shipper exe these games are forced to use.

[tacit jay]

Probably so that when they are removed from gamepass they can continue to play

[torn gate]

Fair enough I don't have a PC so game pass on Xbox is the best I can get ATM

[tacit jay]

I bought it on steam and have my xbox version through gamepass

[torn gate]

I hope they don't remove from game pass since I have nothing else to play it on but yeah that's a fair point

[tacit jay]

idk 100% if stalker 2 ever would be, but I don't particularly see a reason why it would stay on there forever. GSC aren't xbox first party developers.

[fervent island]

[Non CoC related]

i think there's some mods that make the attempt of recreate some levels/regions of S2 (HoC) and the old S2.
Lost World (CoP) has "Zalyssia" and Chornobyl-2.
Another Side has DUGA and some areas inspired in the old S2.
Too exists S2: Old Concept but we dont have news about the development since december of the past year, some areas of HoC apart of Zalyssia are from the old S2.

mods like Global War would port areas from others mods based in S2 to CoC

[tacit jay]

if anything would have it. Global war would

It's got something like 50 maps or something

[ebon blade]

If GSC is having this much trouble optimizing Stalker 2, that in my mind, just further delays anyone using the same resources.

[torn gate]

True and now they released it on PlayStation too

[fervent island]

Would've cool see Cooling Towers and Lesser Zone in mods of the Trilogy

[tacit jay]

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if with the ps5 release it leaves gamepass, but it also might just stay on there just cause.

[ebon blade]

The Lesser Zone is more awesome and full of secrets, than most Players ever find out.

[tacit jay]

I've spent a lot of time exploring it

I for one think it was a well thought out location, would've been nice if it incorporated cordon and both of those were your direct starting areas, but still lesser zone is good

[torn gate]

If it does leave when it releases on PlayStation I'll become the biggest PlayStation hater in the universe

[ebon blade]

Once I could leave the Lesser Zone, I departed at the Decontamination Center, entered the Cordon and descended the hill straight to the Rookie Village.

[tacit jay]

There are games that are on gamepass that released on ps and stayed on gamepass. We'll just have to see by the end of the year [I bet release is the same date as original. What was it Nov 20th?]

[wise depot]

"It's average"🥀

[strong onyx]

That’s what she said to you?

[torn gate]

Me carrying everything I find in the end game because "I might need it" (I won't)

[tacit jay]

That's what it's like when I got weird water for sure

[strong onyx]

Me carrying everything I find so I can sell it.

[torn gate]

Then you realized that there's no traders at the end of the game 😔

[strong onyx]

😭😭

Bad move, GSC.

Let me sell my stuff!

[ebon blade]

Sell it before you get to the end.
What do you need money for at the end?

[strong onyx]

cause I like money

[ebon blade]

There is no money in the game, just Coupons.

[strong onyx]

Sounds like currency to me.

[still current]

poor man

[ebon blade]

Sounds like something you win at the Carnival for throwing darts or basket hoops.

[valid oar]

I'm boutta crash out.

[sharp lake]

dae stalker

[kindred fable]

You've just described the 'real' money too

[valid oar]

I'm pretty sure a word that roughly translates to "coupons" is a Ukrainian slang for money.

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/online-coupons-savings-code-discount-codes-mall-discount-brand-coupon-mall-gif-17940348

[torn gate]

I do that a lot as a stalker gamer

[sharp sierra]

I hope we get another weapon or 2 next patch that ak47 in ragmans shop is making me jealous. Though they'd have to add 7.62x39 again! Actually just thinking I think all my 7.62x39 turned into the cheap 7.62x54 even if it was AP 😔

[sterile idol]

did they fix Shevchenko glitch?

[valid oar]

All of my 7.62x39 was just deleted from my stash. I could've been maining the PKM but I went from having about 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 stocked up to a handful of 7.62x54R.

[coarse falcon]

Was there recently, no glitches for me at least.

[thin apex]

i mean they could add like 15 differant Kalashnikov rifles or the SKS or something like that because they somehow have like no 7.62x39 rifles

[strong onyx]

SKS should be present.

I’d love the dinner plate, also. That needs to be in the game yesterday.

The cartridge itself is already in the game.

[honest ferry]

SKS would be neat

early semi auto sniper

[ebon blade]

SKS - Bayonet out. Bayonet in.

[sharp sierra]

You could get a few SKS types in game. Standard for stalkers and bandits, duty version set up as a dmr and a fully kitted out 1 with nato rails and detachable mags for higher tier npcs.

[honest ferry]

my game keeps crashing in pripyat its so annoying

[sterile radish]

any specific reason?

[still current]

[honest ferry]

probably my mods i will get rid of them when i get all the unique weaons so i can renove their attachments

[sterile radish]

anyways, I’m going nighty-night now. will take swamps screenshots tomorrow

[honest ferry]

why does korpus hate me suddenly

my game crashed i booted up now they hate me suddenly

[still current]

I wonder why

[wide veldt]

@median sonnet i didnt know u were actually here i know it late but sometime do you think you could port your spawner mod for guns and armor for xbox sometime?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1356

[honest ferry]

check in screenshot and video channel

[strong onyx]

What’s the error?

[wide veldt]

It would be a great mod to have on xbox

[fallow sonnet]

Anyone know where to get the kora 1911 extended mag I can’t find it anywhere in game.

[wide veldt]

Why use that pistol anyways

[coarse falcon]

Rats?

But Snifs pistol is enough there.

[upbeat crow]

Style.

[fallow sonnet]

Exactly

It’s a solid .45 pistol

[upbeat crow]

For this exact reason I used Kora in Clear Sky quite often.

[wide veldt]

I like the one that fires three bullets because u can make it fire only one if u want to or make it go basically full auto

[coarse falcon]

Also Burrers shortkings cant take it from your hand. Two exteded mags of AP to the face from good ol PM puts it to bed nicely.

[fallow sonnet]

I just can’t stand only having 7+1. I know it’s in the game but unfortunately there is know item spawn mod for Xbox

[wide veldt]

Yet i just pinged the guy that made one for pc

[fallow sonnet]

That’s why I use the night stalker instead

[wide veldt]

Whats that

[fallow sonnet]

It’s the 9mm version

Comes with a suppressor and a extended mag 12+1

[upbeat crow]

In that case I would modify the game's files to make the capacity bigger. But I'm not sure how it's made in S2.

[stark crescent]

Probably buggy as hell
