Just when we got something in the making, Tejas walked out
Just when I thought we was in, they blasted us out - Bloodsucker Note #0269
I was watching the end of a movie.
"The other day I walked in the Rostok bar dressed as a cowboy but forgot to properly hide my tentacles, they started pulling and playing with them, laughing and pointing at me. I felt as if I was in a theatre...." - Bloodsucker Note #1033
Y dont watch the end of the movie because I'm making it
🇬🇧
Literally Krezzin
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

🤣
a true stalker takes nothing with them and deals with the consequences later
just one more artifact bro......
ok poor bandit

Ah, a Clear Sky enthusiast 
I lobe Clear Sky
I lobe Clear
Hi not!
Clear sky is fake

What in the fawk you are trying to drag me into, fawking fawk....
Hello, Stalkers!
Wassup homie.
I preordered stalker 2, now just gotta wait 24 days💔
I'm in the garage waiting to be vanverted
No way in this day!
Ud like that wouldnt you
do not laugh again buddy
Jeruz out installing new gif pack
Day 341 yet to find what happened with the fate of Doc's dog.
We're officially 24 days away from 365
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... my legs hurt... Cat's been sleeping on my legs for 1 hour straight. I can't feel my sticks!
Imagine your pets using your legs as heated mattress...........

hippity hoppity your rubles are now my property

Boys asmr ^
is stalker enhanced really bad?
No
yhea its pretty damn bad
hey im may be odd but has i miss informed about the co op on stalker 2 update ?
The original is better imo
Yes, cause coop was never announced and has always been said by devs that there wont be any for stalker 2
There will be multiplayer, just pvp, no coop
ok i think google need to cheak there info
Google or AI overview?
ai overview
Yup coop was confirmed never to be coming since 2021
damn i feel dumb lol
Im sure there will be a mod for it, just, not even close to a near future
i been waitint as me and my mom from the uk wanted to jam the game together lol
would it work on console
The coop? No
Unless you mean the mod. For that, idk
Imbr if a mod ever existed 90 percent chance it would be pc only
Yeah
I just hope decent graphic mods get created for PS5
And it’s not like forgotten about because most play pc
(CoP) Does anyone know can i keep attack squad alive for attacking x62 Monolith squad...i completed game 27 times and never keeped squad alive now i went to pripyat stash take pkm...
Are you asking how to keep the squad that follows you through pripyat underground alive?
i do hope PS has no mods or very restrictive modding capabilities
Or what exactly
I would enjoy that
What’s the point of graphics mods on ps5
All ps5s run the same
So performance will only go down
No, Military squad from laundromat....(One that helps u kill monolith enemies to get gauss rifle)
lol
Ah, I honestly dont remember if you can keep them all alive
I’m still waiting for a meaningful update to stalker 2 before playing again
I once keeped that squad leader alive but id be happy if i keep only 2 guys alive
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||
To make the game look better? Kinda a stupid remark lol
the ps5 wont be able to run them its got no performance to spare lol
game struggles plenty already
Maybe for PC. Have you played it on console? Hmm not sure you have
its the same on xbox

Yeah Xbox’s is ass compared to Sony
dude the xbox and ps5 have basically the same hardware
they are litterally the same device with a different brand on it

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
Yeah they work kind of the same afaik
I’ve played both I’m hate to say it but I’m kinda glad that Sony is sort of restrictive
i hate them both
Does anyone know the exact time stalker 2 is going to release?
literally the biggest waste of money ever

why the hell would i buy a ps5 to play this tiny list of games https://gg.deals/games/playstation-5-exclusives/
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
but regardless the ps5 release at least on a none pro ps5 will be effectively the same as the current xbox series x release
Believe me I wish I had one lol
Yea thanks...i killed like few of monoliths last save and all squadmates were alive and i went upstairs to kill gauss rifle leader and whole my squad died in seconds 🙏🏻😭
Ya I got one. Keep ya prick comments to ya self bud
log those overtime hours GRIND HARDER
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks
I say this because i did it when i was 15 grinded out like 4k dollars and built my first gaming pc

if i could do it so can you
Where are you from? @charred nova
AMERICA
I grinded too and I got mine as well
No wonder why u easily grinded money
Sadly, as stupid as I am, I got a laptop, but well
he is rage baiting you, don't care
It’s all good is what it is man.
oh no im not in this case
🤔
the ps5 version will perform exactly or nearly the same as the xbox version
Worlds full of assholes I was doing my best not to be one 😂
this is completely factual statement
Maybe
Ps5 is stronger than xboxes
not really no
Xbox series X and PS5 are the same
But sure enough, it won't be as good as PC
Now, PS5 pro vs Series X is different
who said they are not?
Pc will always be better that’s just end discussion there.
By Performance i saw on interent ps5 is way more stronger not to mention ps5 pro
but i saved up getting minium wage which was at the time like 12.5 an hour
anyone can do it
Then thats wrong, you probably saw a ps5 pro
just takes time
Unless there is a game that was optimized wonderfully for ps5 and not for xbox
You got kids?
no
Which is rare afaik
????
im 22 and im in trade school im in my prime baby not ready to settle down yet
I got 2. You try managing children and affording your less important habit and see how that works.
Yeah don’t blame ya stick to what your doing mate
i mean its never too late to join the trades
Normal one and then i went to compare normal and pro later
the shortage of techs gets worse every year
the old italian guy who runs the local shop doesn't wanna work on evs
so he retires
and thus the cycle continues

like brother you can get up to like 50 plus an hour and log over 100 hours of work a week
while only working 40
Your 22 man and got the life enjoy it good sir
then what will you do with this money
I tried again and only my squad soldier stayed alive 😞😔
(quick saves brother I believe in you)

Jack being too handsome, women can't get enough on his sidollars
Nah its alright 🙏🏻
Ill try next playthrough because im going for platinum trophy on ps4
GSC! alife when?

[International Scientific Group]
Limansk when? CNPP when? Generators when?
DLC when?
they are good questions
Stalker SoC 2 when
they should release sequels to cs and cop and then release Stalker 3
come on GSC, the only thing missing is alife. the most important feature
and they marketed Stalker 2 with it
almost a year past
Night Vision update!
what a big development
Easy, easy, I don't change SoCks so often...
never 
so stop asking that, you will never get S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl 2
Im thinking more about a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 prologue as a sequel
no matter how much you beat yourself up, GSC won't be able to do it, sorry man
2040?
How Spark was founded, Ward being the big bad bully over all factions, Strelok escape from SIRCAA, the Caribbean experiment
Like giving more details and how duty lost Rostok to Freedom in the Treaty

stop spamming gif
Spark was founded when [REDACTED] lit up his blunt while he's dead drunk, not seeing he's lying against big haystack....
yes, I guess they didn't have time to do all of this
otherwise the story writers should have told them this
what is your source?
I ain't telling sh/t about sh/t.
I was the owner of the property

?
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
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
Months on other stalker games???
Or you meant, stalker mods?
Stalker clear sky 2
They last at most 20 hours each, at most
Short, hollow, stiff...
If you say mods, ok sure, but wtf where you doing by playing SoC, CS and CoP for months
Doing the same 4 side quests over and over?
One thing I really appreciate about stalker gunplay is that it makes me consciously choose between firing semi and full auto depending on situation, and that ammo types actually matter
hes cosplaying tejas
One thing I really don't appreciate about stalker gameplay is that I cannot piss over mutants bodies and enemies bodies as well.
i am t
Should totally be a thing lol
yeah i know im a bit of a big deal
That's why you play Stalker, and then play Postal.
You can pee on everything/everyone in Postal 2 & 4.
I mean the explorations side of things in stalkers good right? Just spent like 100$ on this game better be halfway decent 😂😂😂😂
I don't want to pee in Postal, I want to urinate over Ward's ammo crates when the guards are looking away
Let me unzip, for chrissakes, GSC....
its 6/8ths decent I'd say
Okay that’s good enough 😂 I’ll take it
get ready for all those conveniently placed boundaries between regions
maybe a 12/16ths
Maybe 3/5ths
I’m gonna get YouTube to help me with those boundaries lol
the Zone is so anomalous and alien its topography doesn't resemble the real exclusion zone's in any way. Or any ukrainian landscape for that matter
The Zone is a book of knowledge. You have to go deep into it to figure out the first pages.
Sounds right?

Is it possible to actually die of hunger in stalker?
Bro is asking the big questions
Wish we had some actual Fallen models
But it B wat it B
Just Cypher
At least you have models 💀
Kinda lame
You can make them yourself easy
Ik, CSM deserves some Epic Heroes as well
The only thing what's falling is this joke and it's falling flat

What about the new Murderwing box? Any NW specific bits?

Unfamilliar i must research. Ive been out of the warhams loop for a bit the plastic crack got too expensive
Same but also because of the new retcon
Anyways
Which one is this now?
Femstartes 
I remember the ol female custodians gate of hell that gw opened
HOLD UP WHAT
I only play the warhammer 40k games, but the last few games were either shit, or old remakes.
It's the faces in the new SM upgrade set. They look pretty feminime
Freaking relic entertainment dropping the ball so hard
That and they changed the old "They are my Space Marines" quote to no longer include the words men, guns and muscle
So yeah
twas only a matter of time really. Theyve been going down that rabbit hole for awhile
Ayup
These are the heads in question
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rcgz9jbn/customise-your-space-marines-with-a-set-of-fifty-new-heads-and-helmets/
I like how everyone was pissed about femstodes and gw pretty much just said "if you dont like it dont play it". Pissed off 30+ year fans and literally just changed that lore with a single throwaway
My space marine is a non binary, platonic pan a-sexual bi-polar bisexual.
Your Space Marine is also non-canon 
Yeah a few of those are looking pretty feminine ngl
Nothing in the warhammer universe is cannon. Its literally all player written
"What is canon really?"

Man, you seen the new Victrix Honour Guard nonsense?
Oh god dont even get me started on them pleeease
If i want my space marine to be a busty maid catgirl, ita gonna be a space marine suit of armor with a freaking black and white skirt AND FREAKING CAT EARS CUT OUTS ON THE HELMET
Why do we even have ICC 
So
Good, they deserve it
Allow me to direct you to emperors children
What’s your fav space marines?
Mines is the Salamanders
Sisters of battle
Loyalistwise its NONE. Chaoswise iron warriors then night lords
Rivals ong
Those aren’t space marines
-# marines malevolent
PRAISE THE RUINOUS POWERS
100% Iron Warriors
This is the right answer
There’s no way you unironically said that
He can if he likes loyalist Iron Warriors
Still not a space marines chapter
Love ma Vikings
Try to guess what these are based on
Love ma Knights
Actual answer: Lamenters
We hella rivals tho
Are there female space marine chapters?
But y’all do like the Salamanders right
No
I thought sisters of battle also wore battle suits.
Meh, a bit mid tbh
Yeah, the wolves don’t play nice with the fancy boys
No closest you get is sisters of battle
More like cheating
In DoW 2 last stand multiplayer I made a custom lamenter skin
I must admit begrudging respect
They do but its different than full blown astartes armor
The 🦎 would be my 2nd choice
Compared to SW
Never seen this anomaly before
If I were to make a space marine powersuit cosplay, it would be a salamander
Obviously 😆
I like how they make their own shit
As do Blood Angels btw
You mean bloody rose?
Well, they no longer are the white rose thats for sure

(This isnt a joke its actually called that dont you cancel me)
Bro went and made the joke. You have won horus truly you are the warhammer 40,000
I do like me some crim fists
I do like the story of rynns worlds its a classic
I also like this chapter. For no reason.
What am i looking at here
looks like slaaneshi degeneracy thinly veiled
Not a Chapter
Horses
Honse 🐴
Not a care.
Successor chapter still counts innit?
It's still not a Chapter
Yuh huh
Nuh-uh
Its a chapter
yuh huh
It's an Order bro
They are paragraphs at most

Both

One is for degenerates of the sadist variety. The other is for degenerates of the weeabu space communist variety
Then youve got emperors children which is just every flavor of degeneracy under the sun
Bro too much of a pussy to talk after saying this fr 
What?
It’s just a song bro
You do realize this is a public server, right? 
And I should care about that fact why?
Wth does that even mean
You do know Erika, right?
No
It’s literally a song from 1920s or 30s I don’t see a big deal
Ah, because it obviously doesn't have a certain association 
To a silly austrian painter guy
I just looked it up, Jesus.
Ain’t no way in hell people still believe it’s a Nazi song 🤦♂️
Nah, that's like saying the Iron Cross is a Nazi thing
They only used it
But it's still wack
That doesn’t mean it’s Nazi
dude just got out of band class and is listening to this in the halls, has the Soviet anthem queued up right after
i mean bro you do you i dont care what you listen to just ya know dont start screaming about a certain menace
(Lowkey calling the inquisition shush)
Fine
it was created by them dude
No no no
Actual footage
It wasn’t existed long before then
what
It was by Herms Niel
Either way, out of all the German songs you chose to sing you chose that one? Cmon now
Bro needs rammstein instead fr
It’s a good song imo
In reaction to something that wasn't even German 
It was only adopted by the Wehrmacht
Which makes it a bad choice by default
Smarten up and choose something more lively lmao
It’s literally just Germany’s armed forces
Ngl, you defending this doesn't exactly make you look any better 
This is in fact true. I will admit
BECAUSE IT ISNT AN OFFENSIVE SONG
composer for German military, which happened to be Nazi 
It is simply a song about bees and flowers
It is in association, but I already w/e'd it so yeah, best to drop this nonsense
curious dude curious
Joined to hear cool things about stalker, gets to hear consist garbage arguing over anything and everything lol
Yup, welcome to STOC

Hi tim
Y'know, now that we have NVGs, I'd love it if we could get an IR flashlight. Pretty frequently I'll be in a location where NVGs aren't viable simply because there isn't any light in the environment for them to draw from. I think it would be a cool and immersive solution.
erm, ok?
IR fleshlight?
IR (Infrared) flashlight, get your mind out of the gutter.
Brodersman, there is only 1 Old STOC Guard and that me. @plain fiber is impostor!
Sound da police!
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 do it now with the regular flashlight, but I'd want an option that wouldn't ruin stealth.
My first join message is from 2020-05-20. I 100% qualify as "Old Guard".
I think there's one or two other [STOC Old Guard] folks here.
It just means we've been here since the earlier days of the server.

Krezzin [STOC Old Fart]
@frigid hill BOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOO
One day I'll come across Wolf when he's dead asleep, I'll cut his throat, rip him open, take out his intestines, stuff them in his mouth, stuff his liver in the gutter, sell his kidneys to the bloodsuckers so they can advance to next level with a new blood filtering system and then I'll start spreading the word he ended himself in some sewer canal!
Ooooooo-kay, let's call it at that
That and a proper IR laser. The 'tactical' one is barely visible under NVG most of the time, which leaves the offset aiming unused. I just mod the stock so I can aim down sights with NODs
I'm hoping for proper canted sights down the line.
Brother...who hurt you
Dawn of War IV, Mechanicus 2, Dark Heresy 1 is coming 🔥
LET ME USE THE CLUSTERFUCK AND VINTOREZ WITH MAXIMUM VERSATILITY GSC!
Hyped for dark heresy. Just too bad you gotta wait three years for owlcat to fully finish a game lol
I wanna mount 4 flashlights on my sofmod to blind people with
4 strobe flashlights or regular?
ok tyranid
Some would call that a compliment

Yes wolf wr know this is kindergarden
HOLY PHUCK Morty! Dawn of War IV announced
Holy guacamole batman!
Stalker. Dark M rated game - heaven forbid you say an adult word in the server. (Logic
if you have any sort of expectations, throw them out of the window
Ive learned not to get hopes up for any games given the many many flops that exist in modern gaming
if you are not excited about this, it is something you are missing
With any luck those flops become decent like three years later
sometimes you should do, I did that Dying Light: The Beat and Battlefield 6 and it met my expectations
To be fair. Dying light is one of those rare cases agreed
though can we agree dying light two was kinda trash?
no, DL2 was ultimate peek
how many hours do you have in DL2?
Must disagree. My gripes with dl2 are that it does the many years later thing and people become the focus instead of the zombies. It goes full walking dead. Plus i dont care about aiden and his sister AT ALLL bring back crane. Also i sank in like 120 hours or so
I thought DL 1 was kinda trash actually, havent played 2
I did everything in the game and yeah not a fan of dl2
Dont bother dl1 was at its peak. Dl2 lives in its shadow imo
Unless your into the walking dead schtick of "the real monsters are the people". Probably just avoid 2

Sorry bro its just not very good
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. It has so good gameplay and it always makes me laugh when people who just play for the story and delete the game afterward, and call it bad without even learning half of its mechanics and content. Say that Dying Light 2 is a bad game, no one cares
Dying Light 2 is one of my favorite games
Yeah you can find it in another game its called dying light 1 lmao
absolutely no man
DL2 was always better then DL1. Parkour, map, missions, graphics, characters
Blocked and ignored and banned and muted and destroyed and pirated and done and cope and seethe and mald and git gud
now you can leave the chat 👍 🙂
I cared about the story and the characters in dl1 way more plus the following was peaaak. Meanwhile 2 is just...they made john fallout your mc. We'll just have to agree to disagree
I will not discuss this with you man. I've done this 1000 times with DL players, I know DL community. I you are thinking DL1 better, just keep up with DL1 no one stop you
Dying Light is a great game, has failures but still, a great game.
I just couldn't enjoy it. I wish I did cause the graphics look awesome and the parkour is cool but the melee combat and story (more like the characters) are awful to me
hm
Fair enough
Melee combat is a step up from ol dead island though admittedly. You want tired combat try dead island lol. Dead island walked so dying light could run
Still love dead island though just for the nostalgia
well, the main questline in terms of story isn't soo good.
Dead island riptide was best
Im inclined to agree
Story was a lot more coherent and generally just all around better
Yeah I loved the vibes it had and at the time it was the best of its kind
They lost route with the new dead island.. sadly
Yeah the new dead island aint bad. But im not a fan of the comedy thing its trying to do. If i want comedy i'll go play deadrising They COOKED with the new combat though
I miss dead island on the 360 days
Bro your making me feel so old rn
Yeah I think they went a more “Childish” route I get it tho
Whole different people who made it innit?
Left for dead was amazing aswell the screamers shit me up 😂😂
Basically yeah. Tech land jumped ship cuz they couldn’t di what they wanted
Who do you voodoo?
I do remember production changed hands like 5 times
It did yeah.
Absolute banger still on my spotify to this day
Hackers” or am I wrong lol
Lmao, it’s a banger. The intro to that game was great
That game was literally my childhood. Back from the days of boot up my xbox and play halo 3 after school. Still play through it like once a year. Same as doom 3
I played doom 3, halo 2 and Stubbs the zombie a shit ton on the original Xbox
Halo ce and doom 3 were literally the first games i ever played way back in like 2004 ish on a trashy little pc my dad gave me because it barely worked lol
The load times atrocious and the graphics would probably burst into flames if it tried to run anything higher but i didnt care that was like the apex of tech for me at the time
Crazy to be playing the remastered ce now and see how far tech has come in such a short time. Stuff looks like a movie now
Pretty much. I still prefer the old design. I long for the retro aspect of character models
I’ve had the wife say that a few times lol whatcha watching? A game I’m playing 😂😂
Half life really left its mark on things like that
Reason: Bad word usage
Lowkey i bought halflife black mesa remastered three years ago. And never touched it nor the original
Whoops lol
Papa wolf gonna whip out the belt fr 💀
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?"
Almost like we are taking it for granted really lol
Fellas....are we old?
1.7 release when? ❤️
Exactly if it ran it was good gamed for years lol no issue lol
This is a very "back in my day conversation"
I still appreciate the things we got. But the gaming community has obviously evolved into something different
The good ol will it run crysis
New tech and higher standards will do that. Now everything must be flawless
lol yeah I appreciate it to but still catch myself saying man we got the tech for that today and it’s still this bad? lol
They just dont make em like they used to really
heres one for ya. what is the difference between a light machine rifle, and a light machine gun?
Do tell
Does anyone have any clue what the weird pulsating formations near the mirror at the VPC Mirror facility are?
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
pulsating formations? got screens?
cool. post it in screens
We need more LMGs on STALKER 2 tbh
How many is on stalker? Haven’t played it just yet lol
posted it
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
The only machine gun we got is the rp-74 and its ridiculous to hip fire it
Surely pc has gun mods tho right?
Now if we had the RPK or an imported NATO lmg...
I want to use one but oh my god i will never financially recover from one trigger pull
M249 supremacy
the only gun mods we got rn are variant of the ak 74 and the 416
Rpk would be awesome
Hell yes brother
as long as there are no custom reload animations, we cant really make guns that dont use the existing reload animations
I wouldn't mind a M249 on stalker 2
I neeeeeds it
ahh, those are magnetic anomalies. they are harmless.
It would make sense seeing how shit is turning out in the zone
I want a trebuchet
Ok hear me out....minigun
do they only appear at the VPC or are they found elsewhere because Ive only ever seen the two at the VPC?
Handheld jerry rigged M2
Defending stalker camps with those would be logic
What’s about swords any swords lol
search up ferro fluid if you are interested in the real life variant. they appear here and there. because they arnt dangerous, they arnt reported on the stalker 2 map tho
Maces clubs etc
Sledgehammer would be amazing
Just use a shovel its a double tool
sword trebuchet
Bass cannons is what we need
(Aka zweihander)
Skif running around swinging a claymore like william wallace 😭
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
It's on many places
Some abandoned bus stop had one of those
i somehow feel that the developer wanted to do something with the bus stops, since they are literally everywhere.
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
Just like real life
but then it occurred to me that I've never seen anyone using bayonets when out hunting or smth 
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
It makes sense if youre fighting snorks or dogs since they lunge at you
yeah or even fleshes and boars
Well to be fair are you the one hunting or are the mutants hunting you
You know it would be cool if some stalkers started using bus shelters and build them as a emission proof shelter
If your gun jams when they lunge you still have the bayonet to poke them with
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
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
Switch to your sidearm if call of duty taught me anything switching is faster than reloading
Eating a poptart is also faster than reloading
i wish we could inspect our weapons, like in counter strike
I really wish we could repair our weapons to a certain degree
Like let's say... 75% cap limit repair
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
Really should be able to. Like oil your gun or something but for heavy repairs bring it to the yeah 75%
they have modeled the guts of the AK-74 already it wouldve been cool if it was a cool little minigame to take apart and clean your rifles
skif was in the army and your telling me he doesnt know basic rifle maintenance?!
to be fair he does demonstrate he does during a cutscene
Were they pulling the ol three russians one gun move?
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
Which?
The one with solder?
in slag heap if you gave the sensors to richter
On the Spark route when you give Richter the sensors
korshunov slaps you down and makes you take the combatant apart
I liked the repair system in Anomaly, finding a rare gun and then scavenging for parts to make it work was really fun
Wouldnt know i HATE spark
And you then give the ward the Monolithian pda
I don't hate anomaly's gun maintenance, but it was more micro-y than what the average consoomer is willing to put up with
I really enjoyed it
Agreed it was
on that note I'll also say I personally also love realistic magazine management
but people do like them some ammo pooling
If I were to guess once the dev kit is fully released someone will port a majority of the features from Anomaly to S2
oh absolutely, they're already working on that without the sdk lol
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
navy. skif was a marine even. which means he had army training and then some. and he still dont know weapon maintenance
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"
yeah but its kinda scattered
Im going full headcanon three russians one gun here
loading 3 different shotgun round types at the same time 
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?
I dont think so
I think its just rare
I saw it like once in 1.5
outside of the scripted ones
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
could just be bugged
Also the diamond exosuit is so op, I almost feel guilty about upgrading it right away
Best suit in the game and its got that Mwah. Monolith camo
elite pfp

kinda sucks how op it is
just makes all other exos irrelevant before you even get to them (pripyat)
"If you fight us, soldier, you're only fighting yourself"
I missed Stalker to be honest
I wish I could suspect our coupon dealers, like in... hold up, no... w...

Jeruz, what's that hissing sound coming from behind the van.... @stark crescent
Two doubles back to back will have a man's faith in humanity wane but never their faith in the monolith.
We going up in smoke with this one.
if you fight us, soldier, you're only fighting yourself
@wild epoch did you understand?
Always have.
im fighting myself
if you fight yourself, you only hurt yourself
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!
Oof, they all just vanished?
Yep. Everything is gone. I just spent hours exploring and clearing out the Duga.
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.
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
Dead game
A game this dead? Nah... Evil dead.
@weary hedge should i add faction starting loadouts?
like freedom and duty ones
i just installed stalker 2, how hard is the game/how much hours of content can i squeeze?
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.
the game is not hard or challenging, it's mostly unfair sometimes, and unfinished, but it is playable
i hope you didn't buy it for full price
what game breaking bugs should i be aware of?
i got it for 15€
The game is awesome it just has issues.
is the game really that unfinished? i always wait some months before, to let the devs cook more
gud
the story is finished, the game is not completed, it has TONS AND TONS of cut content and guns and other things
Yes that would be 🔥
i see, did the devs announce an ETA for the next big patch?
hm ok, Grom for freedom and Lavina for duty?
Grom is a duty weapon lol
there's a road map
Freedom G36 or HK416
there's already a g36 in the loadouts
oh where can i see it?
hmmmm ok
WHY THE HELL THERES A 10 SEC SLOWTIME IN A DEAD CHAT
nvm i cant
Ar is used by ex military loadout already
hmmm
Tec I pinged you into the mod page cause it wasn't a mod for stalker 2 
I figured it was fitting to ping a mod for this.
I’m sure when it hits PS5 some of those bugs could be patched in 1.7 right?
Cuz that’s the version I’m sure ps will get
1.7 will have fixes yes, but we don't know if it will cause other issues
Right got ya like Bethesda never know what their gonna break next 😂
Took care of it, thanks bro
👍
I think its on their main google page
But I'd wait for the engine upgrade at least
And even then, it wont be magic, I'm sure it will be a messy engine upgrade
To late done pre ordered for goodies lol
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
Do you have the original stalker games? Have you played them?
nope
Honestly if everyone waited until it was good enough for their standards it would be ages before anyone played it to be fair
Nope as have them or as play them
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
I honestly couldn’t get past the graphics sadly I did attempt though lol
Graphics aren’t too bad considering how old they are
I get that the graphics are outdated but
- the artsyle, which is what matters when games get older, is top notch
- you can use a mod
Mostly because of the artstyle and fidelity
Totally agree I’ll try it agin someday
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
Well, they arent the same people
Even by CS and CoP, they were all different teams
artstyle it's what matters in a game, not soulless realistic graphics

@pliant ridge Just give the game a chance. It's possible nothing may happen, but just accept the fact that you may have to redo some stuff if you run into a problem.
But, in terms of graphics, at least the intention of the devs, both S2 and the trilogy have similitudes
no? let him wait
They went for realistic graphics, but they used a lot of artstyle to support it
We are lucky we even got Stalker 2 lol
what i see is over used UE5 optimization systems for lighting and shadows
Yeah agreed goes back to what I spoke about earlier be glad we got what we got, could not have any of them at all
You could see that in SoC and CS as well actually
any Fallout is a masterpiece compared to CoP.
Thats why I said Fallout-y
Xray engine is superior as of rn
Well, no, it has a lot of bugs and quirks as well, both of them
And its hard to measure engines that are decades apart
It has at least the alife, which is still better than the 2.0 version
upgrading the engine was the right choice
Yeah but thats an implementation they didnt add for unreal, which they did in xray.
Its not an engine thing, more like an addition afterwards
A life shouldn't be a + addition, it's should be the game
Yes, but thats not related to the engine
You are going somewhere else hehe
wym
U switching topics 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
what was built around From the start then? the story i guess?
I meant as an engine feature
Not a game feature
oh nah i didn't mean that Xray is the a-life
Well thats what I thought tou said lol.
Sorry
i meant that Xray was meant for alife to be added it in, while unreal struggles with that, or the devs struggle
