a Stalker takes a task and adapts himself to it. After completing the task he returns to his stash/hideout, completes what he needs, and moves on to the next one. He doesn't take everything with him and never uses nonsense like Weird Water

Ah, I honestly dont remember if you can keep them all alive

Idk, I've only fully played through CoP twice

And it was a long time since I did

I’m still waiting for a meaningful update to stalker 2 before playing again

royal torrent
#

I once keeped that squad leader alive but id be happy if i keep only 2 guys alive

marsh iron
#

you can keep them all alive but if monolith uses nades then you'd likely need to reload a save since your squadmate will likely die from those; be proactive, draw fire if you have to if you want to clear with no losses ||except for the sniper||

Have you played mods on Xbox theirs a reason sony is restrictive, they don’t wont broke ass shit on their platform most Skyrim mods on Xbox are unplayable because of it

Does anyone know the exact time stalker 2 is going to release?

literally the biggest waste of money ever

not to mention the few games still on this list will just drop on pc before too long anyways

Look all I was saying was just hope they don’t leave graphic mods behind weather they struggle or not it would still be neat to see them on console. not everyone can afford expensive pcs

charred nova

but regardless the ps5 release at least on a none pro ps5 will be effectively the same as the current xbox series x release

So did stalker 2 ever get an expanded array of stories and quests or is it still short and hollow? Also how goes the fixes for the rest of the game like the AI behavior and such

robust pendant

Well, I wouldnt call it short, but the AI behaviour has changed since launch yeah

I was able to spend months on other stalker games but this was way shorter in comparison. Also it lacked impact and the stalker feel. Oh well, better games have come out since then

Invisible to the human eye, but visible in night vision. Would provide a source of illumination for the NVGs to draw from when we're in caves or other structures that are completely devoid of light.

you can't find what Dying Light 2 offers in any other game. And when you put everything together, it's the best zombie game on game world.

Pretty much. I still prefer the old design. I long for the retro aspect of character models

I said trying to say” all the stuff we complain about today in games would mean screw all back then

Exactly. We were just grateful to experience a new generation of technology

Fr man back then we didnt have overwhelming standards. Not every game had to be like rdr2. Basically our main thing was "will it run?"

heres one for ya. what is the difference between a light machine rifle, and a light machine gun?

latent pond
#

Do tell

tough bay
#

Does anyone have any clue what the weird pulsating formations near the mirror at the VPC Mirror facility are?

stark crescent
#

light machine rifle is used for an early magazine fed automatic rifle. think pre assault rifles. light machine gun is usually belt fed and used as a squad automatic rifle

stark crescent

just a sec

#

We need more LMGs on STALKER 2 tbh

hard pebble
#

How many is on stalker? Haven’t played it just yet lol

tough bay
stark crescent
#

yea. the only lmg in the game rn is a dshk stripped from a tank. which is a hmg and technically no human can carry it and hip fire it in any normal capacity

obtuse veldt
#

The only machine gun we got is the rp-74 and its ridiculous to hip fire it

hard pebble
#

Surely pc has gun mods tho right?

obtuse veldt
#

Now if we had the RPK or an imported NATO lmg...

M249 supremacy

stark crescent

the only gun mods we got rn are variant of the ak 74 and the 416

hard pebble
#

Rpk would be awesome

latent pond
stark crescent
#

as long as there are no custom reload animations, we cant really make guns that dont use the existing reload animations

obtuse veldt

I wouldn't mind a M249 on stalker 2

I neeeeeds it

Skif running around swinging a claymore like william wallace 😭

stark crescent
#

there is also an anomaly somewhere. i think it was at factory at garbage, where the anomaly is that the mosaics are floating around the wall

obtuse veldt
#

Some abandoned bus stop had one of those

stark crescent
#

i somehow feel that the developer wanted to do something with the bus stops, since they are literally everywhere.

wooden walrus
#

I was going to say it's weird how skif's knife is a bayonet yet there's no bayonet options in the game, but it's not that weird really. Bayonets would make sense in a world where you're constantly in contact with mutants

wooden walrus
#

but then it occurred to me that I've never seen anyone using bayonets when out hunting or smth hmm_cheeki

#

I guess if you're hunting a bayonet doesn't make a whole lot of sense since it gets in the way

#

and it's not exactly safe to keep a bayonet mounted on a rifle if you sling it or smth

tough bay
wooden walrus
#

yeah or even fleshes and boars

latent pond
obtuse veldt
#

You know it would be cool if some stalkers started using bus shelters and build them as a emission proof shelter

tough bay
#

If your gun jams when they lunge you still have the bayonet to poke them with

wooden walrus
#

yeah exactly, would work great with the jamming mechanic without leaving you essentially high and dry while skif sssllooowwwlllyyy takes out the mag, and looks at it, and puts it back in, and racks the action

#

while a bloodsucker is gnawing on his head the whole damn time

obtuse veldt
#

I remember I saw at the end of Lost Alpha some Monolithians had built a bus shelter made into a emission shelter and like if someone lived there

latent pond
#

Switch to your sidearm if call of duty taught me anything switching is faster than reloading

#

Eating a poptart is also faster than reloading

stark crescent
#

i wish we could inspect our weapons, like in counter strike

obtuse veldt
#

Like let's say... 75% cap limit repair

wooden walrus
#

I wish skif just racked the goddamn action for the love of god skif you don't need to ponder that stovepiped round, just get it out of the way

skif was in the army and your telling me he doesnt know basic rifle maintenance?!

wooden walrus
#

to be fair he does demonstrate he does during a cutscene

latent pond
#

Were they pulling the ol three russians one gun move?

obtuse veldt
#

Like get parts from other guns and use them to match 75% if you want to hit 100% you need a technician to do it

latent pond
#

The one with solder?

wooden walrus
#

in slag heap if you gave the sensors to richter

obtuse veldt
wooden walrus
#

korshunov slaps you down and makes you take the combatant apart

tough bay
#

I liked the repair system in Anomaly, finding a rare gun and then scavenging for parts to make it work was really fun

latent pond
obtuse veldt
#

And you then give the ward the Monolithian pda

wooden walrus
wooden walrus
#

on that note I'll also say I personally also love realistic magazine management

#

but people do like them some ammo pooling

tough bay
#

If I were to guess once the dev kit is fully released someone will port a majority of the features from Anomaly to S2

wooden walrus
#

oh absolutely, they're already working on that without the sdk lol

latent pond
#

Depends on what gun im using. If ive got a funky caliber i bring a lot of rounds if im running a common i carry like four mags worth

stark crescent
wooden walrus
#

one of the cool things about realistic magazine management is that it gives handloaded guns an extra benefit that on an ammo pool balance only means "slower reload"

I could swear there used to be an option to heal friendly downed npcs with medkits, and npcs healing each other, has that been removed?

tough bay

I think its just rare

#

I saw it like once in 1.5

#

outside of the scripted ones

raven monolith

I have a couple injured npcs laying around Yanov that I can't heal, and which other npcs pay no attention to, and it's kinda annoying. Can't even mercy kill them cause then their teammates will turn on me

Hey guys! Guess what. I ran into another game breaking bug and I get to spent hours of my life replaying the game!

Don't put to many items in your stash (who knows how many that is) or else!

Yep. Everything is gone. I just spent hours exploring and clearing out the Duga.

empty hare

Did you have a crazy amount of stuff in there? Ive got a ton in mine, even more in my other save

I wouldnt say a crazy amount. Mostly ammo, meds and stuff. I do have a gun collection and a few armors but its not insane.

RIP

#

Modded or vanilla?

sharp lake

vanilla. IDK guess i'm done with this game till the next big patch.

I was having a lot of fun to on my 2nd playthrough with the difficulty turned down to medium.

Next game in line was Metro Exodus. looks like it just went on sale today to. heck yeah

@weary hedge should i add faction starting loadouts?
like freedom and duty ones

pliant ridge
#

i just installed stalker 2, how hard is the game/how much hours of content can i squeeze?

sharp lake
#

Depends on how many game breaking bugs you run into

#

I have like 110 hours in on my 2nd playthrough

#

I think the game has the right amount of difficulty on normal. Play the hardest one if your are a sadist.

i hope you didn't buy it for full price

Progression bugs and stash bugs

okay thank you

honestly i wanted a new games to scratch my skyrim itch that's not fallout, i guess i'll have to wait some more time

Honestly if everyone waited until it was good enough for their standards it would be ages before anyone played it to be fair

robust pendant

i dont have them, and never played them either

#

are they worth it?

robust pendant
#

Ah ok.
Well, if you can, I would highly recommend them

#

Especially Shadow of Chernobyl, is my favourite

#

CS has more action and dialogues, albeit more buggy, and CoP is a more Fallout-y approach to the series, with lots of interesting side quests and characters

hard pebble
#

I honestly couldn’t get past the graphics sadly I did attempt though lol

tepid osprey

Graphics aren’t too bad considering how old they are

Even by their time they were updated, but they are good because of the overall package

I love the trilogy, sadly I feel Stalker 2 lost a lot of the original feel

robust pendant
#

Even by CS and CoP, they were all different teams

coral shadow

But, in terms of graphics, at least the intention of the devs, both S2 and the trilogy have similitudes

They went for realistic graphics, but they used a lot of artstyle to support it

We are lucky we even got Stalker 2 lol

Like, afaik, xray doesnt just come with alife done and setup for you, nor it was like that since the beginning.
Just like unreal.
They are both additions to an engine

One was made early in development, the other wasnt

#

But you should consult buildo experts on that

Cause I dont know much about oblivion lost days and stuff

Not a game feature

coral shadow
#

oh nah i didn't mean that Xray is the a-life

robust pendant

Well thats what I thought tou said lol.
Sorry

coral shadow

i meant that Xray was meant for alife to be added it in, while unreal struggles with that, or the devs struggle
