meanwhile Xbox Consoles are like, here's FreeSync for every game 🤪
lucid dreams to rival those of Scar
snork dating sim when?
his tube is too scary
For reasons related to my ban status in this server I'm afraid I can't continue this conversation with my intended reply
BAN STATUS?? WHAT DID YOU DO
Never ever type "snork" in search
Alright, I just typed it, it ain't as bad as I expected it to be... nevermind
STALKER Gay Simulator when
Let's just say we got two words added to the auto-mute list 😛
GAMMA not back yet?
Which faction will be the femboys
anyone know why stalker was removed off xbox gamepass?
alright thanks
Phil Spencer failed to show up at Gay Court.
with Sarah Bond
You can't be a gay and be in relationship with women, Goblin-san
They both pretending not to be gay.
this is why he missed gay court

its time to gamble and drink beer, because my life is sad story
any drum mag saiga users here?
Yep, but it's ok, i have the game pass and steam ;D
youre not a real stalker if you didnt buy ultimate edition
I just mow down whoever and whatever
bloodsuckers? have em for breakfast
who even is that guy
right site
he probably never played clear sky on master and it shows
ItsTommyLove
the kind of guy that says "lets get out of here" upon hearing gunfire
Krezzin him
@forest grove Look at them making fun of you, broman

if anyone wonder
I do not wonder for I already know (sitting on the wish granter rn)
Is there anyone here that runs stalker 2 with decent graphics?
I keep everything on low, upscaling at tsr, and resolution turned down
Yes, 144p, full blurry
My pc will explode if I try to run game without cloud gaming
My brother found an optimization to make it run smooth, still looks decent, though shadows are a bit pixelated
My brother in Faust, dont tell me you game S2 on cloud gaming?
its unholy
Well what choice do I have then other than upgrading pc which I don't feel like doing just for one game.
"brothers we shall play Stalker 2 on cloud gaming to honor the monolith"
I got a whole new PC for stalker 2
I bought first SSD for STALKER 2
Well good I suppose. Personally I don't think S2 is that worth it.
it is
You say its better to buy a condom than STALKER 2?
condom boring, stalker 2 is fun
I don't condome this thing....
who even buys condoms anymore
all i see is people buying stalker 2
on their run down 2 year old or so ps5’s..
That aint Cloud Gaming. He's using the same Noospheric Tech that Monolithian PDA's use. He's playing it with his mind.
He's controlling the Zone with his Schlongus!
Anybody know the lore behind journalist in s2?
He doesn't realize we're using his data to show the rest of Monolith how unpredictable Stalkers on the level of Skif or Strelok are and how to counter them.
We just recently learned about the "B-Hop."
I wonder if GSC had to tour the CNPP recently for this game. Not SUPER recently but like...a few years ago before everything went down.
Why did they take stalker 2 off Xbox game pass
I do
He a Internet Game Noob, IGN editor
They did but we cant
Pay 15 euro for DLC
A year is long enough to finish a game.
Want to keep playing? Buy it.
Want to not play it? Dont it.
Contract finished
Should always aim to finish game at least once if you're relying on game pass, because any game can be taken off at some point
Indeed! and be ready for ridiculous prices increase for game pass, like currently from 18 to 30$ greedy motherflowers
And this is why, Steam and GOG stay winning
how ironic
Third parties never stay on for much longer than that
gamepass like netflix. some new movies added, some movies leaving soon
People should have bought Stalker 2 on Xbox when it was down to $22-32 dollars,
right before it was scheduled to leave. Those that waited too long, it's gone back up to $45.
who remember the old days when all a man needed was a Netflix sub and you'd get all the movies you'd ever want?
Yeah, when the newest titles had to be mailed to you.
this is nothing. if you want to watch nba you need 5 different streams
Now you need 18 subscriptions to different services just to keep up
Plus 27 sub-subscriptions for extras like sports

This is why we use Kodi addons 🫡
i mean how stupid it could get.... just make atleast 1 nbatv or something
while in EU you can watch premier and champ league on same stream
Everything is a monopoly these days
Well
Not necessarily
I have Sky Sports which has the prem
For champs I need TNT
Not that I pay, I piggy back off somebody else’s Sky & use Kodi for the rest lol
nah this movie isn't on any of the six streaming services that you pay $15/month on each
but you can rent it for $2.99
damn, it used to be good back in 2010
1 stream all sports
Yeah it’s shite now lol, decent for entertainment but not so much sports anymore
Virgin and BT have addons but the price is extortionate
AAAAAAAAAAAAAh I'm gonna AAAAAAAH myself
for movies you need, netflix, hulu, disney, hbo, prime, apple
For movies, you need:
- Woman
- Not so well lit room
- Quality bed
- Solid tool
Popcorn cheak 1, movie ckeak 2 h*t girl, pop corn cheak 1 😄 lolll
Skif has obtained the mcguffin
I just need one site
only issue is that I was tryna watch Smiling Friends the other day two of the episodes were either in Spanish or German
Bro is selling the next 6090 🤫
wondering if artifacts can be used to make even faster computers in the stalker universe...
What, why even i in the Stalker universe? We already have it. Called AI
yo i love this game
grim fandango
will stalker 2 probably be 30% off on pc when 1.7 drops?
Is that your way of saying you don't own Stalker 2?
i played through the full game on gamepass when it came out and havent touched it since
hoping it runs a little better now
It will only run better when the engine upgrade drops
Dont expect much from 1.7 in terms of performance
I wonder if you can use flesh meat to make a mcrib
Close and open the game again
BUT....
when a particular person by the fire + guitar sees me, then they attack me, and then everyone else attacks me
Ohhh
they shouldnt be attacking me
Yeahhhh that save is borked
nah but its only one guy
It happens sometimes when you kill stalker squads but leave a survivor
but then EVERYONE in the ward starts attacking me
can i dm u an image of the attacker?
Then started sexting you
And then it became gay fiesta
Either ask in #❔┃seeking-for-advice or send a report to #s2-support
It's hard to help you when you are so vague. What town? What base? It's either one or the other. It can't be both.
Check the advice channel, also im sorry im unsure im new
its ZALISSYA
Hey folks.

Ah damn, did we lose Mewtwo too?
looks to me like he's still on the server?
He’s been here
Ah, my bad then.
You keep deleting Kwezzy but I see all
He’s just nowhere near as active as he used to be
I am A Lvl 6 Mewthree
Speak up
Mfkin mouse, man, gotta buy new shit
Left click so broken it auto clicks on its own 
New shit
bleh 
Stalker 2 a week away?Stalker 2 next week can you believe it? Next week? Yoo hoo stalker 2 just a week away
If your talking about ps it’s only 3 days away!!
SadSvit's new album also releases the day after. Good week I hope.
Today marks the day I can no longer play my favorite game.
For a moment I thought this was an AN-94 and I was so happy ;-; tejas why you hurt me like this
what happened
Went off gamepass and I’ve been having money issues. It’s on premium not just ultimate.
Can’t buy it yet.
awe well i hope youll get to replay it soon
F
time to eat a whole pizza
Is Fast Shooting AK74 better than the SIG and the AN94, in SoC?
Peak mentioned
Rack up them Ms rewards

Can ez get 25 a month if you use the Bing shit as well as the in console rewards
Free real estate
Cha ching
I cover my game pass sub with rewards tbh lol
Don't earn and redeem too frequently with Bing, they've known to ban people if you constantly make searches.
I just do their daily challenges thingy
Then stack and redeem every 3 months for a 3 month GP sub
That's safe
If it wasn’t for rewards I wouldn’t bother with GP cos the hike in price is awful value for money lol
If they added indies that were actually worth playing it wouldn’t be so bad but the library is extremely underwhelming
Yes
Would do the world of good for everyone involved too if they upped the indie library on there as indie devs would get more exposure
But alas MS fumble the ball with every play at the minute
But fear not….
… everything you see is an Xbox!!!!

DANGIT I WANNA USE THE AN94 AND THE SIG.
Guess I gotta go to the Germans with the G36.
Use them either way
Just because its better doesnt mean you cant use the rest
At the same time, I have like 700 545x39 rounds
Gonna burn them all on Bandits. Contemplated siding with Duty or Freedom
Even though the AN-94 is a better rifle, the AK-74 can attach a grenade launcher to it, making it the better choice.
Also that, forgot about it
And the stock scope is better than the god awful scope from an94
Or
Carry both 
Because S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 goes to PS5 this week.
Oi @ebon blade I have important question
When it comes to Artifacts, what do you recommend?
2 Thunderberry, 1 Compass, 2 Liquid Rocks. Rotate weight carrying artifacts as needed.
for my first playthrough of cs and cop should i do abr or vanilla?
Vanilla
Abr changes too much, based on what the author likes or doesnt
Too late 
ill just put some basic mods like fov mod and no head bob
Ehhh I found you can carry like 1 weapon
Vanilla is objectively better lol
Do the Liquid Rock effects Stack?
Bought them all for a total of 40 bucks on Steam
Sale or no sale
Around that, yeah. You get the original games with them too btw, I actually recommend the originals
But you can carry one on your inventory. You switch when you want to
No sale Im pretty sure
Great, maybe I'll pick them all up during the xbox holiday sales
30 dollars for 3 games sounds pretty good
Trying to keep my rounds consistent. Also trying to found how to up the 50 kg limit and how to not die from radiation poisoning
Actually, give me a sec
Wait are you going Pistol only with no suit?
The bundle of all 3 games goes for like $40 on steam btw
Nope
I have a USP and Fast Shooting AK74
yes can confirm if you want to see test results #❔┃seeking-for-advice message
Fast shooting? You mean the Spitfire?
Yes, since they help with Radiation.
No its literally in the name
Thus is why I asked Tejas. :p
Fast Shooting AK/M-74
The second one is easy, just drink vodka or use an antirad pill, even a scientific medikit
For the first, well, its part of the game, I'd recommend to finish it like that. The exoesqueleton suit gives you a nice kg boost, but you cant run. But you do you, of course. Pretty sure there are mods about it
Nice, hopefully it will go even lower during the sale
Welp, guess I’m gonna be stuck to 50 kg then
They havent gone on sale once on steam
(well just wanted to show you the numbers other than a yes or no)
Damn, alright
Im sorry, the bundle has got like 2 or 3 sales. Bad memory of mine
@wise depot
Thanks Lx
Oh yeah, the numbers actually do help. Seriously, thanks @marsh iron
Could you imagine the cooking disaster you would have on your hands?
A frickin Poltergeist has now decided that all of the chili paste and powder looks better on the walls.
Like getting pepper sprayed.

I just pre-ordered the Ultimate edition for PS5 
“Drowning, deep, in my sea of Cossacks.
Broken, your Stalker, I kneel.
Will you Cheeki Breeki?
It seems what’s left of my Duty side, is slowly changing in me… Will you Cheeki Breeki?!
Looking at my own reflection when suddenly it changes, violently, it changes!”
-Down With The Cheeki Breeki, Mindscorched-
I woke up from a nap and saw cooking disaster and my first thought was
‘I’m pretty sure eating any mutant other then a boar or flesh would ruin you for weeks and a bloodsucker would just straight kill you’
I agree.
Anything other than an animal-based mutant would most likely w i p e one’s gut in a not-so-pleasant way.
Imagine the diseases you’d get from eating a Bloodsucjer
NEW DISEASE UNLOCKED:
GIGA BLOOD CANCER
I hope its worth it
@robust pendant was it a bad decision?
Could you imagine the Zone’s own Bubonic Plague?
No, not really. Im just saying that I hope its worth it for you
Some have bought it and thought it was amazing
All of that E Coli probably running around, too.
Being sick, in the Zone, would suck.
10/10 Bad Time, Would Not Recommend’nt
Did you enjoy the game?
I dont even own it 
Hello stalkers 
@lost dew if you are new to stalker you most likely going to like it, if you are a long time fan of stalker , you probably will have a mixed reaction, but no matter the game will get constant update for next year or maybe 2 more years, so eventually it will be an insanely unique game sooner or later
@robust pendant oh lol. I've heard it's extremely good. The original games are some of my favorite games
Agree on this, I'm really sad because of the map change
im more of in between , i kinda like it even through it messes up the old games sequences of events. I just hope this map DOES NOT change yet again , keep it as its and expand on it or add new locations but the geography shouldnt change yet again unless they give a good explanation about it
i mean if they ever make Stalker 3, keep the map as S2
I love how it all transitions, but it just makes all of the trilogy non canon, S2 map feels like some random fan's fanfic
i mean lore wise, even if the map change, the event happend, its just the locations swapped around. They never said the old game arent cannon or did GSC ever said that?
They never stated that, but trilogy lore doesn't make sense anymore because of radar placement in S2 as compared to in soc, same with military warehouse
Chat, Join Duty fr fr
I don’t know man. As much as I use 545, I don’t wanna jack up my 556 prices
Tf is 545 and 556?!
I remember back in the OG games, Duty was exclusively using 9x39 while Freedom went with 5.56, no wonder why those 2 were that rare, especially 9x39.
5.45x39mm vs 5.56x45mm
It kinda bums me that 545 rifles > 556 rifles when there could’ve been a more balanced ground
5.56 also feels much rarer than it should i think, i burn through it incredibly quickly whereas 5.45 is extremely common
As much as I appreciate 545 rifles. I’m just raised around 556
5.56 literally has more gunpowder and it’s slightly bigger should beat 5.45 everytime
I won’t mind the G36 having that power. However, I felt the LR should be equal to the AK74 and that the SIG should be more powerful than the previous 2 mentioned rifles
However, the fast shooting AK74 beat the SIG and the LR
Kinda boggles me a bit.

God I need some update spoilers to keep me going 😅
Imma ride the PC Stalker experience
I wish I could. They living the high life fr
Ah, right
Rn I’m at the Army Warehouses (back when Freedom owns them)
The urge to intervene in the Freedom-Duty war beckons
I swear if I saw a member with Freedom tag...
Reason: Bad word usage
get wolfed
Wait did I even say 🥀
i dunno you typed it
What happend to my name man
Hi Jedi
Who was it this time
Herr Schnitzel
the mods gave you the short end of the stick huh
yea 🙁
@main jewel Since you claimed to be a Legend, what piece of advice would you get me unlike Lex ‘the Legend’?
My name was good before i was the poll boy but now i not anymore
I was King of the Stupid Hill but now I’m the King of a Hill. 😔
if you drink the limited time energy drinks while having the weird pot equipped you can get 0.5+ perm carry weight
in the glass shard anomaly thing, you can crouch and never get damaged by it
also fun tip i think you were there for it, that electric ball of death is attracted to the artifacts in your pocket, if you deequip them the electric ball wont follow you anymore, on the other hand the weird bolt can just subtract 90% of the damage of all anomalys (its extremely helpful with the flash one)
Okay, thats solid advice that is true. Thank you
and the charge the weird bolt all you have to do is drop it during the starting stage of an emission when it doesn’t damage you, idk why people say you have to drop it outside or go into an active damage stage of the emission
dropping it for my advice means you can just drop it right infront of you no matter where it is
cause i was able to charge it in a shelter
Huh
Interesting
mhmhmhm
also if you use the weird nut at those glass shard anomalys (cause the weird nut eliminates bleeding completely with no virtual downsides) you can kinda just damage boost through them
i do believe cause they are a gravitational anomaly, physical protection can massively reduce their damage
just like how physical protection can basically make all gravitational anomalys just annoying pieces of code rather than actual threats, in veteran mode they do like WAYYYY less damage than the normal instakill if you have a good suit and compass artifact
thats all i can conjure in my brain for now
Weird nut or weird bolt
or want too 
nut, the nut is the hexagon, the bolt looks like a bolt
I have never heard of the weird nut
the nut eliminates bleeding, the bolt eliminates damage for a certain amount of time
Ik the weird bolt which you get from the tornado anomaly
fire tornado in the cooling tower
Nut exists in the Zone, the squirrels always get to it
Eliminates bleeding completely or to an extent?
completely
hm
Oh wow
it may still show up for a milisecond due to how bleeding stacks in this game
Which cooling tower is this
but after you get it you can kinda just throw away bandages
near the red fortress north of the duty base, youll see a gigantic red circle in it on your pda
fortress not forest

I have over 200+ hours I didn’t even know you could reach into that part of the map
I though the cnpp was off limits
Agnes Tachyon traumatizes me.
-# Friends are even trying to gaslight me
i havent done enough testing but i believe poltergeists wont attack you or find you as easily if your crouching and mot making noise, i believe they rely in hearing so im gunna test this
Besides that. You deserve being a Legend, Lexa.
This is true
btw my real name isnt lexa its just cause im not male so it went from lex to lexa 
maybe.. i will test its range then
I figured I just stuck with your profile name lol
its a very cool place and it seems you havent touched the ending or a certain ending
I’ve only done the ward ending so far
Trying to turn the place in and out. Yet rn I’m playing SoC on PC
I’m doing the scar ending currently
mm then you may not of gone there
the weird nut slows healing from medkits, it's great in low difficulties but that healing slow is too much to be effective in vet mode. It certianly does have a downside
Twice actually I just like killing dalin for some reason
that downside is literally the weakest downside ever
holy weak sauce bro
if you're playing easy and normal mode, that's right
in vet, with it equipped you heal too slow to be useful in emergencies
i havent had a issue with medkits all across my playthroughs
I never realized that place where you get the weird nut exists. Gone through Strelok's and Doc's ending.
i do play on vet and ngl i still have no issues
I learned the hardway to not mistake a Bloodsucker for a Controller, in SoC.
i dont have any mods that change healing either
alright, well that's good
either way, it significantly slows healing time in vet
oh well thats good to know
How do you even do that 
i dunno ive just never noticed it
They are pretty different
it's very noticable if you watch your healing while you medkit, in easy and normal mdoe with it equipped your hp shoots up, but in vet it's really quite slow
I don’t even know. Been used to S2 Bloodsucker SFX and I haven’t fought a Controller in a while. So, the moment I went under Agroprom, I only remembered the Controller.
i think ur medkits are already like halved i think 
i'm talking healing speed, if you're thinking something different
never type with water on your phone
Or PDA, for that matter
OH SPEED??? OH YEA NO WONDER I HAVENT NOTICED WEAK AHHH DOWNSIDE
MAINE I AINT GOTTA WORRY BOUT THAT
For bleed resistant I have only used that one cubic artifact. That was enough for me during my playthroughs so I forgot about weird nut's existence.
sure, once you medkit while getting shot in vet with weird nut you can @ me again and tell me how it went
anything to put my food in my bandage slot and eliminate the weight from bandages, (eliminating weight as much as possible vro)
assuming i havent been using this artifact for over 300 hours
i do not feel any difference
After I got hypercubes the most I have carried bandages around was like 5, and I don't remember having to use them.
i also turn off my health ui thing
NO WONDER
but erm i dont feel a gameplay difference
even when i did have the health thing on i just never realized it
wow, your name makes sense
CAUSE ITS THE WEAKEST DOWNSIDE EVER
Let her cook
and im not a bum who misses every shot and gets 300 bullets shoved down my throat either so
i just use it for the stupid random bleeds i get
its also helpful if you RAN OUT OF MED KITS and you just got attacked by dogs
SO YOU WONT DIE FROM BLEEDING cause it doesnt exist
the upsides overweigh the downsides, unless you just like to eat bullets
on vet
I learned in SoC to not go up to a group of 6 Bandits and start engaging with the Fora. One of the Bandits slipped around with his double barrel.
-# I forgot in that moment that A Life is diff
I still don't like weird nut
cause on the other uh gamemodes the downside is kinda the most pushover thing evr
Take notes jump into KFC deep fryer
anything for two thunderberries
(cause 2 thunderberries stack i think)
All artifacts stack pretty much
not after a certain value
Thunderberries, hypercubes, and weird water are my main artifacts that I carried around
usually maximum is that max value
If you want medium radiation artifact you make 2 low radiation protection artifacts
but the thunderberry is different cause of how stamina is in this game
The endgame for stalker 2 is so mid
thats pretty obvious
Not to those who can't math
You got this amazing city environment, and no sidequests
i know many who cant math
Sucks hella

someone needs to spit some insane bars to trailer part 3 by mooze
3/4s of pripyat was cut from the game and pripyat was forced to be a endgame zone
They still could put a few side quests in
The only side quests in the game are bartender quests
they could put more side quests in the game in general
someone needs to create some previously unseen rhymes to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUamCGFI40E
have you visited anywhere besides the main story route
I have but sometimes they got murdered
well theres many side quests out an about
Honta got turned into a slaughtered lamb by a chimera
1:10 to 1:50 has crazy potential bro
to get a green unique fora, called decider, you have to grab this guys gun from a sewage area
@tacit ingot Hey asshole can you get on?
the whole saving zalissya is the longest sidequest in the game
That side quest is different you take his money and you murder him
and the best imo
why would you murder the poor guy
Gotta collect everything
Who's Honta again
The hunter in zaton
Oh I remember him now
a guy that gives you a sightless mosin and free nvgs
cause the devs hate us and refuse to just make mosins have detachable scopes
Waiting for a DLC?
Waiting for nothing really
Minus the day the servers are being unplugged
The final quest you do for him is with the chimera right?
Reason: Bad word usage
Nope you visit a grave
Oops
Of the kid that got rekt by the chimera?
I pissed and cried when I found out what happened to Tolik
Yes
So you return back to the cabin again?
The swamps suck ass man
fell to my knees irl
tolik was the only dude you shoulda given your medkit to
FRENCHMAN?
good advice for a french man
Surprised he didn’t surrender to the mutant 
French is the type of person to wave his white flag when he's being shot at

didnt he die like just a BIT before stalker 2
How much did that banner cost you
I think so, don't remember the full details.
Nothing that came with my nitro
Didn’t have to buy an 84’ epiq for it?
Nope
Surprised honestly
Wait, what are we talking about
Snap on
survived in the zone for ~8 years
My profile banner
oh
But that's beside the point
i thought it was the triangle thingy from silent hill
totally looks like that with the small pfp icon


mods heh..
it shouldnt even have to be a mod
Condensed milk
Tomato
I'm coming to find you
Tomato
I'm not allowed a conversation with you am I
Ngl, Idk why they made the base Mosin have a scope
Toma
Working T-72 when
Titanfall 3 when
Tomato
If there’s a Half Life 3, then there has to be a Titanfall 3!
Okay thats tuff lowkey
I killed lens
what if Respawn releases a trailer for Titanfall 3
then the next day they say it was a prank, take down the video, and replace it with a trailer for Apex Legends 2?
would ts be tuff?
2 man job

Reason: Bad word usage
Clear sky can go to hell
What happened
Clearly devs have clear sky bais
Ah, you mean in S2? Nvm then
I thought they were on my side, until they switched up on me
i wonder when better ballistics will get fixed so i can stop opening my pda when i wanna cant aim without nvgs
If you unmark your current mission it should fix it. Its pretty finicky but tracking/untracking any active missions fixes it for me when it happens
oh alrighty
i wish i could change my controls on controller anywau
like i can make the pda pressing the left and the right bumper at the same time
The gaming industry would then be the average 1991 Kuwaiti Oil Field
cause it does nothing
Id just switch it to Y while ads'd and have toggling firemode be on the wheel only
I pretty much only use semi auto anyway
arghh its not working
okay i fixed it
whatever you do never turn off mission notifications
Does the Legends of the zone trilogy have good mods on Xbox?
They have mods?
https://mod.io/g/stalker-cs / https://mod.io/g/stalker-soc / https://mod.io/g/stalker-cop
Check for yourself
if you use mod.io, yes
Reason: Bad word usage
ngl, 99% of them look mid as hell
https://mod.io/g/stalker-cop/m/alternative-fleshes#description
Seriously, why. It doesn't go well with the game's artstyle
https://mod.io/g/stalker-cop/m/crash-on-pm-equip#description
This one's funnier tho hehehe
Works if you untrack missions, create a new save, then load that save. It’s not to do with BB but with gsc
People need to be civilized while blowing stuff up in the zone amarite?
do yall think that they will fix the a life any time soon?
Alife what's that?
Literally the main point of the next update
I don't see any Alife growing on this farm
ok very funny
i hope you feel proud of yourself for saying that
I never have regrets
Can us Xbox peasants get things like the photo realistic mod? Can we not get like reshades and what not 🥲
Console cannot use reshade

Is this something that will change with time?
No, it’s a hardware thing iirc
Why is it there are reshaders on fallout Xbox?
bro tryna create a nuke in his living room
Does reshading really cause that much issue?
depends on the kind of reshade
If you’re wanting PRZ? You genuinely might cause your Xbox to explode
I don’t really understand it cause the game would be exactly the same just slightly different colours. Like gsc could change it themselves but hey not my role
Oh okay I’m just ill informed
those insane "ultra+" reshades are only really meant for super high-end PCs
and an Xbox/PS5 is only about the level of a midrange at best PC
Yeah that’s understandable. Wonder if we can get a dimmed down version?
if that's the case I doubt it'll look much better than the quality preset on Xbox version
No because ReShade is a third party software
Okay thank you We are just hella restricted as normal
it really sucks how locked down consoles are
Imma be genuine, I use console because it’s just boot and go, PC can be exhaustingly tedious sometimes
that new Steam Machine thing might help in some cases...
I get the sentiment but from my experience as a PC gamer it's not that bad
I ain’t buying it until Gen 2 if that
Oh true?? hassle outweighs Preformave and graphics???
depends on the hardware
I went out and bought a new GPU for S2 but not everyone can justify that kinda purchase
I have a mid range pc but after having a whole motherboard die on me and having to completely rebuild, the ‘glamour’ died really damn quick
sorry to hear that
Only plus side was it was a complete upgrade but still 
Damn that would suck fr tho
I thought I messed up my whole PC when tryna turn on TPM and Secure Boot for Battlefield 6
PC is for freedom in games and mods, consoles are just easier to boot and go
it was reboot and it yapped something about the graphics driver and I panicked and shut it off
genuinely had me out here praying that my PC wasn't bricked 😭
Hell apparently there’s a rumor Microsoft might axe the multiplayer paywall next gen 
Well I’d definitely pick a pc if I could We miss out on so much 🥲
theres a big cash investment at first but outside of hardware games and stuff are actually a lot cheaper
But if your pc can just shi itself maybe I should just stick to gabox
it's absurdly rare for your PC to do something like what happened to me. And it only happened to me because I was doing stuff in the BIOS for which I had no idea what I was doing
and this was after like 5+ years of owning a PC
Don’t poke in shit if you don’t know what you’re doing or you’ll be crying later 
nah bro im an engineer i got ts trust 🔥
Yeah guess any hardware can break hey
It’s why I refuse to change my OS because I have no idea what I’m doing and windows works fine for my needs
windows works so I keep it
when/if a suitable linux competitor ever comes out I might switch
I refuse to use Linux because I’ve had multiple people try and club me into submission to use ut 
16 gb ddr5 ram is not an ideal ram i want for a console thats supposed to be like a pc console thing

most consoles run games at like medium settings
16 gb that ram is currently on yhe xbox series x i would expect something better on this future console
Apparently the steam machine is built using stats from Steam on most common hardware
and 16 gb might be acceptable for medium settings considering the fact that SteamOS is so lightweight
well i cant wait to see what problems that might stir up
What’s the fps like on a mid range pc equivalent to Xbox x
Varies on hardware 
ngl a sleeper build pc thats like 400 bucks is probably gunna be more worth but i dunno
Solid 60 or above tho?
I don’t trust it, especially after Steams last foray into Steam Machines 
i dunno my xbox series x runs like a champ at a solid smooth 50 to 60
but thats probably because its i got it relatively new
and havent had it for so darn long like others
i got a new one cause call of duty destroyed my old one with their updates
never downloading another cod game again
I think the game runs meh most the time unless in a small room or with nothing around 😂😂
I uninstalled that kidney stone of a game years ago 
Cod 7 BUNS
bro cod is like a freaking virus
150 gb updates every 2 months that add a random celebrity in a random ballot box
Thank Christ I went BF
Give it a few years and you’ll be genuinely at risk because Activision can’t be bothered to secure the older games 
i dont trust battlefield yet
i am seeing that free battle royal tho i migt get that
BF6 on top
Feels great tho
This isn’t the right place for this but there’s some fart smellers in this chat. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW CAN I TURN ON VRR XBOX ITS GREYED OUT ❤️❤️
That could be half my problem lol
Does your monitor or tv support it?
If not, you’re right screwed my friend 
I mean shi probably not but I want it to 😂
I have 4K uhd
Can’t turn on features your tv doesn’t support
it looks the same as some of the other battle fields like i dunno about me but it feels a little, too same same, its like if there was a warthunder 2 but it didnt change anything but graphics and everyone shifted over to it
You mean quite literally what the fanbase wanted? 
Thing is, that’s kinda what us Battlefield players wanted lol
I guess I’m just a brokie
oh well then have at it
This
We just need Operation Metro back
VRR isn’t really that ground breaking and honestly might cause more problems then it’s worth on console
It’s literally just a better battlefield 4 and it’s perfect
Hell my VRR cause my monitor to black out cycling between games
Okay I’ll take that. Makes me feel better cheers 😅
Careful now, or you’ll get put on a cross on top of Siege of Shanghai’s tower for saying that
Ram-2/DP-12 in 2 days 
I’d say 4 is better but the performance is dated and clunky on console
hm maybe ill try it, i saw a whole community fighting over a blue skin in battlefield btw it was funny
Way better on pc
Yeah Dice removed it and faded the green on that mountain dew skin lol
they did?
Yeah
this is potentially a good sign...
I'll probably get BF6 during my break week and grind it with one of my buddies who already played it for a bit
That is true
Pray they get us larger maps tho
And the California map perfectly represents California:
Shit.
im hoping for a Siege of Shanghai remake with more destruction
California actually in the bottom five places on Earth
bottom 2
I can’t wait for the remakes. Hella good things ahead for the game
I’m just looking forward to terrorizing people with a new Shotgun 
Same but they gotta fit the story.
Why would NATO and Pax Armata mercs fight there?
BR is also miles better than warzone.
It’s the Doof Doof right?
why would stupid ass pax armata be fighting nato in the first palce
the story is already buns
The CIA being the CIA is why
Also known asThe Ram-2 in S2 
On par for a Battlefield game, if you exclude Battlefield 1 and the Last Tiger
i havent heard warzone since the original.. doof doof, amax… the xm4…. dual vanguard shotguns… hdr…
Give us dragon’s breath 
The amount of wannabe streamers I’ve seen get absolutely bodied trying to solo run n gun is a gift from god himself
COVID Warzone hits diff
lets all beg gsc cause this is a FIREE AGHAHAHAHA FIREEE FIREEEE AHHAHAHAHAH
fire idea
Try to outmove a tank, idiot. Lol
I can’t even touch warzone anymore. It’s refreshing not having to do all the crazy movement and terrible balancing
A flaming Monolithian saying ‘Za Monolito!’ is gonna be terrifying
I am finally able to run STALKER 2 in 4k
Hey folks look up a Rhodesian Jungle Shell 
I’m now interested
why do people even try to discover new movement tech, even in battle field people wanna try so hard, its actually really annoying that people cant win in a gunfight so they have to exploit the games controls to move ungodly fast
bf6 better get some of those tropical island maps from that bf4 expansion
Real
I want naval maps and Marine Corps skins
Birdshot to shred foliage, followed by Buckshot 
Yet it has to fit the Pax Armata vs NATO narrative for maps
also gulf of oman, that map reminded me of Black Hawk Down
deadass just take that whole narrative and throw it in the trash, give us real countries again
They already have Pax Armata Marines, and US Marine models made for the campaign, I really want those campaign skins
I mean, some of the NATO countries support Pax
Oh I know. That’s just how competitive gaming is and always will be. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come across people crouch spamming thinking it makes them harder to hit 🤣
yeah but its not the same...
I love how I can simplify the campaign as:
Of course the CIA created this, and lost control.
because now all the maps have to fit this goofy ahh dynamic
The humble 120mm:
Speaking of this, how many drop shotters have you stole the dog tags of? 
wait a second
I really enjoyed how BF4 multiplayer was a free for all between US, Russia, and China
Doesn’t help that the Devs apparently said they wanna focus on Urban theme
wouldn't pax armate fighting in california already imply they have a pacific presence
therefore the tropical islands are still on the table
SHIT YOU RIGHT
I think my favorite thing to do in BF6 is to introduce drop shotters to the power of a breaching hammer 
There’s gonna be a winter update for New York where you also fight the cold apparently
like operation locker?
Using Wall-E to kill is also funny
how would NYC even get that cold?
But factor in the cold as a problem
I mean. Who maintains the heating for a goddamn warzone
New York can get mindscrewingly cold IRL, now cut the power
Do y’all play day z?
Only with my buddy
Tf you say to me, you little shit?
I live in MA which is even more north and it doesn't get that cold where you cant fight in the outside or whatever
Bro I was making a joke
NYC gets really cold during the winter. It’s very sloshy and unfun
NYC is sloshy and unfun as a rule of thumb I doubt that's the weather's doing
All else fails, I turn to my sledgehammer against a tank
I mean it can get down to -15 F
one hypothetical conflict I always wanted to see in a game would be an attempted secession of Hawaii
AT mine + Hammer 
What in the Project Wingman-
Bro I can’t mine for shit lol
Happened several times irl. Blizzard of 1888 comes to mind.
I feel the smell of 1.7 in the air!
you sure it isn't an emission?
@modders please forget any
and spill the secrets of 1.7 
It’s coming!
I really waiting to be hidden in long grass/bushes like was in the SoC! Going on master difficulty to Swamps!
||Morning farts|| 
Now you put it like that I’m very excited to test out vision through foliage. Just gonna add to the immersion of my hardcore runs 🔥
Hopefully no longer shall we have to avoid all bushes while traversing the zone!!
It will be game changer if they reproduce behavior from past games. My current pt was surprisingly around sneaking into enemies on the way to Faust. Where past version (January) they could spot me end of the dark room.
I still somehow felt like loot stash isn’t not rewarding as should’ve been in some places.
E.g. traversing through red forest there is one spot with undead in bunkers that actually takes lots of ammo in return almost nothing.
Yeah I’m not sure they really changed the loot pool but added in new permanent items in different stashes. Kinda buns kinda the opposite of what it should be
Back in mah day, we didn’t have any fancy schmancy exo suits.
We had two PTMs and a Pill of Psi-Block for a whole platoon…
…And we had to share the Psi-Block..
Today’s IPSF is fkn soft. Soft.
Softer than baby shit
Buck up boy, you're one very lucky stalker.
One: love Sergeant Johnson
Two: IPSF doesn’t have Exos 
Everyone out here with Mask-1’s and shit.
My brother in Monolith, if you don’t get down here with that Pith Helmet and man these ballistae.
Truthfully debating finding a way to make a Merc Mask-1 in the future
Cosplay style-wise?
Honestly. That sounds cool as hell.
That would go hard as wood pecker lips.
That’s gold
I didn’t make the whole thing it. Some line from somewhere deep in my memory, with Stalker words thrown in it.
“Stalker General”
I was there in the moment
I can’t wait for all the “Busty Vicky” and “Curvy Bloodsuckers” and “Jiggle Physics (Snork Cake- real hops!)”, or even the “Harpy Romance Dialogue” mods.
Airsoft rated at minimum
That also goes equally hard.
Lemme see when it’s done.
Oh it’ll probably be a while
Though I’ve already started on the suit, got some gloves and eyeing the vest
I got a bunch of old army shit you can have for your airsoft stuff.
Like.. A whole cloak size (bed sheet) of LSS. (Camo netting)
Let’s pray… that it doesn’t happen
Bam. You’re halfway to a ghillie.
LGS (Local Gun Store) has ghillie stuff for hunting
So they have old pieces of CBRNE suits?
A surplus store about an hour away does
A couple SAW barrels? ACOG parts? Some other odds and ends?
Kidding. Not actually trying to sell you shit.
I’m more interested in making sure you guys are tracking the “Jiggle Physics (Snork Cake)” mods that’s in the works.
Makes the Snorks thicccc as fk, boi. So when they go grab-assin’ at you from across the map, you can watch that ass C L A P
Bruh 😅😂
I can straight rent a full auto saw at the FFL about twenty minutes away
Murica.
I’m like a deer in headlights
“Crispy crunchy tender flaky crust”
Or Cheeki Breeki.
Or something.
Also. Making a new mod, specifically for my fellow weebs.
It’s called the “Stalker Centerfold”
And in this essay, I will have thoroughly explained replacing Bloodsucker roaring animations with Cloning Jutsu of curvaceous and luscious Suckers.
What’s more realistic? Dying, on the spot, to a Sucker ambush?
Or, dying because the Goon caught you staring too long. Zone Goggles caught you peeking?
Me? Personally? Pffff. I could never imagine getting blindsided by some nigh mythical creature that spends its life hunting in stealth.
But I would (FOR FKN SURE) absolutely get S N I P E D because I saw some nudie mags while on patrol, and stopped too long.
Bruh you wild 😂
Not wild.
Misunderstood.
I believe there’s a difference.
Funny tho 
Freaky
But for real, though.
Getting torn apart by a Bloodsucker?
Sounds like fkn c h e e k s.
But getting my brain getting pushed through the back of my face (get shot in the back of the head) because I stopped at some blown out Cheeki Breeki Gas Station and found Busty Slavs from the First Disaster, and I get tagged reading that shit (from the window)? Priceless
Didn’t game world world say they fixing stashes so they not just bread and beer ?
These could be like totally rational situations but the wording makes it otherwise 😂
Hey would you like some bread and beer for that?
I do my best.
It could totally happen. I just, yes, make it sound super outlandish on purpose
I’d be the worst Stalker, bro. You smeellllll me comin, brother.
See me, over the horizon. Higher than a kite
Zooted on that X Lab Sucker-Nut Kush, this shit ain’t nothing to me.
So wonder if you buy every artifact with bartender sells all mod then remove all mods if achievements will work then
I know stalkers a single player but I might duo with this guy
Mewtwo knows the way trust
Once he hits level 10 the zones not safe
I wish Skif could smoke. Joints, too.
Why not? Be out there puffin’, like Big Boss or something.
Getting yelled at by my peons and other various Cheeki Breeki voices.
Still. Jiggle physics.
These Snork-asses should be bouncing.
I need to be able to see the rise, and fall, of Bloodsucker cleavage.
Snorks don't got any cake, they are dry as a styrofoam
Also I would be careful with snork jokes here
And, for the sake of realism.
Screw being able to see the rain on the outside of my mask.
I need to be seen the sweat inside my mask (and in my fkn eyeballs)
Screen gets dirtier and dirtier.
You gotta physically wipe the inside of your mask out.
Enjoy the new Master Difficulty.
Me. In the Zone, the same way Sido has chicken.
I’m telling you. You’d either smell me coming a mile away.
Or hear me giggling a mile away.
I’d enter the pod just to hotbox it
ccon going to be baked fr
The zone needs a freedom ending fr
Hah! Whoo! Wah! Hee-Ha! Ho-Ho-Ho!
SNORK BAIT, Ooh Ah-hah!
GTA6 is just Freedom Ending
The zone just turns into Florida or cali 🤣
I’m honestly surprised gambling isn’t a thing in the zone
Florida ain’t no dang joke.
I used to live in two of the shittiest counties in Florida.
That place is wild.
We need the bird shooting contest back in garbage. The zone lacks minigames
SUPER TURBO TURKEY PUNCHER THREE
insert Turkey gobbling/Murloc noises
We need compound bows. I wanna get my Green Arrow on, and start zooting these Suckers in the face with a damn Deer Season Special.
Stealth would be so nuts if we had a bow.
I'm getting Skyrim flashbacks
It’s Monday :D patch 1.7 when GSC >:3
My guess is right before PS5 release (in ~3 days)
Do the two of you have the same character PFP?
Nah, mine is a custom VR chat avatar whom I built for me myself and I
So, the three of you share it?
Where’s stalker 3 at 
I am a DUMB b…word I can’t say here because wolf is scared of profanity
Is it possible to share Stalker 2 pre-order bonuses on one console between accounts?
Hello all )
Is Stalker 2 in better shape now that its been a year?
I don’t think so unfortunately
I think the pre order bonuses are locked to the account of purchase
No.
But in other games, you can do that.
What other games have that?
I know cod preorder bonuses didn’t carry over or battlefield
Hogwarts
Terrible game
Saving.
Cat.exe encountered a problem and is attempting to find a solution
Thinking about grabbing it on PS5 and been watching a ton of YouTube videos make by diehard stalker fans
A lot of them seem to think the game is unfinished and empty
You've been watching the wrong videos.
The thing about opinions is that they’re subjective
There are issues but I enjoyed it
Generally when I wanna buy a game I'll watch a ton of videos of people playing and reviews from people that like it and people that don't
Generally it works for me and I dont regret buying stuff
Right now stalker is like the most 50/50 game as far as popular opinion
It’s one of the few games that had me hooked start to finish and that was pre patch(es) at launch
Some love it but it seems like the real fans consider it a big letdown
That's good to hear. It's out in a couple days on PS5
Sounds like a good way to spoil a lot of the mystery and exploration.
I dont watch spoilers. A lot between than going in blind and regretting it. No refunds on PS store
If you havent played the originals then you’ll likely enjoy it more than these diehard fans you’ve been watching
Just enough to see the game systems and get a feel for iy
I wonder how well it'll run on there
I have a PS5 pro and an LG C5. Ive heard the base PS5 and Xbox aren't great but Pro is good
So not too worried about performance. Won't be as good as PC but I like playing on a big OLED
If you're unsure, just wait for a discount
It runs ok on the series x so should be fine on ps pro
Maybe
Ive seen a couple videos where people that had copies on the pro and said it ran very well
On PC, you can share all bonuses on Steam. And there is a separate bonus for pre-ordering, available for download.
There been any reviews on it?
There's a review embargo until the 26th but a couple guys have review copies and they've been sharing what they can
Meh you won’t have mods but if you don’t care about that it’s definitely worth playing since a year ago. All around better game this update will strengthen that
It’ll be fine performance wise on console
Consoles are essentially usually pretty solid for optimisation
It’s PC players that suffer the most
You don’t have the issue of tinkering and shit on PS/XB
I would use performance mode though cos 30fps just feels clunky a
Plus PC Players add too many Mods, which crash their game, and then they blame it on the game and not the Mods.
All the time…
Heavily modding knowing patches are flying in quite often is always a bad way to go
9/10 at least one of those mods are gonna spaz out on update
I used to have a gaming PC back I the day and I miss having access to mods and more games
But I really enjoy big TV and controller experience especially with DualSense controllers and the simplified experience
I never used mod for Stalker 2, and what they say is true
I gave my PC to my ex’s kid so I’m stuck with a console for now 
Day 362 without the glorious Faction Wars mechanic. Yikes!
Its almost the 1 year anniversary?
Release update
That would be sick
