[steep bloom]

And I'm happy about it cause Peace walker was my first Ever Metal Gear

Played it on my psp when I was a kid

[marble gyro]

Awaw maaan don't tell me they are skipping on Acid

Maaan that is a wasted opportunity If they do

[steep bloom]

I mean its basically confirmed tho they didn't openly say it, plus this would explain the looong waiting time cause MGS4 needs lot of work, most of the mechanics were strictly related to ps3 and that's also why it can't be played on newer consoles for now

[steep bloom]

Never played Acid how was it?

[marble gyro]

Mgs4 was a APPLE and SONY ad tbh

[marble gyro]

Fun strategy game

[steep bloom]

I mean walkmans etc were always in the series as promotions etc

Even Calorie Mate was an ad in MGS3, its an actual thing and a popular Japanese snack during the 80s but also the first of the 2000

[marble gyro]

True but apple ipods were strictly mgs4

[steep bloom]

They even promoted em again in mgs delta

[marble gyro]

Also calorie mate is actually pretty mid ngl, not as good as they advertised it

[steep bloom]

Oh yeah mb

[steep bloom]

I mean its mostly a snack and something people who do most sport use to keep their calories balanced and help em get energies to train but also manage to loose weight and balance their Vitamins

[marble gyro]

Like I always wondered what it would taste like, so I bought 5 of them and paid $40 in shipping.....they are okay

[steep bloom]

40$ FOR 5 OF EM?!

[marble gyro]

Well yeah, overseas shipping is expensive

[steep bloom]

I also saw in games they're pretty small idk irl but 5 of em for 40$ its a lot

[marble gyro]

Well base price was like $10 for like 5 of them at the time, but the shipping is what got me

[dreamy rapids]

Has anyone had any update on the Collector's Edition shipping ? It is 2026. Haven't heard from the manufacturer.

[steep bloom]

Damn, but makes sense

[frigid hill]

eldiablo_5 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[marble gyro]

Wait what?

[steep bloom]

Idk how to help u I'm sorry, never bought any collector's edition of any game

[marble gyro]

I didn't even curse that time lol

[steep bloom]

What did u even say😭

[marble gyro]

I'm curious now

Turkish delights

Okay it was not that

[south wasp]

hi

[marble gyro]

I honestly haven't a clue

[smoky hawk]

we got the specific word 50 with the dollar sign blocked bc of spammers

[marble gyro]

Ah makes sense

[visual mortar]

GGGGRRAAAA SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[south wasp]

mb

[ruby gale]

[visual mortar]

wait we blocked $50

thats funny

[full jungle]

is there any voice channel in here?

[kindred fable]

Yeah but you need to level up to access them. They aren't really active tho

[marble gyro]

I've seen some people use them

[vernal lily]

Occasionally I will randomly stream something

[hazy haven]

I realised that we are not getting any more news or even new answers from Studio during January... are they still on Holiday?

[vernal lily]

Why would that be blocked

[marble gyro]

Just in case

[cobalt fiber]

No they’re not on holiday

[marble gyro]

Had to test it out, but already was informed that 50 and $ together was the kicker

So big leak just happened, we may get prime 2 echoes

For any metroid fans out there, this is huge

So, COP anomaly fields are amazing, why???

[plain idol]

[dreamy dagger]

STALKER is dead, I REPEAT:

[marble gyro]

Because the fact that you can get not one, but 3 artifacts in one anomaly field

Makes you so much bank

[copper radish]

No big deal, I regularly find them randomly scattered, around anomalies and abandoned houses

They drop common loot 👀 bread, bandages, sometimes vodka, mostly 9x19 ammo

I wonder if accurate ammo count could be implemented... Bandit who attacks me while in possession of 7 shotgun shells should not keep spraying me

[ruby gale]

[copper radish]

[civic pike]

I was gonna say, why is the british version penalised lol

Nah Alex's okay, yer man means Tolya Sorcerer

[visual mortar]

but what about monolithism

[copper radish]

NPC names can be funny

[visual mortar]

yeah the funniesr one I've seen was The Forgotten Conspirator

like imagine!

[copper radish]

Do monolithians loot bodies? I never get to observe them, by the time the fight is over they're usually all dead

[south wasp]

Private Babich vibe

[ruby gale]

I believe so

[copper radish]

It could be a good use for binos: watch a fight between monos and others, if monos win, see if they loot

[heady elbow]

is the game ever going to be finished? what did I pay for

[visual mortar]

why don't the monolith have scriptures

[wraith fractal]

GSC GIVE ME 1.9 RIGHT MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[visual mortar]

like they don't document ANYTHING

[ruby gale]

Probably not for another year

[copper radish]

To directly observe is impossible, they notice me straight away if I get close, and then they won't survive the encounter

[ruby gale]

It was released early

[vernal lily]

Well, the game is out there where you can play it

Early released game

Not unplayable

[wraith fractal]

It's BAZOOKERS they haven't fixed the telekinesis physics thing bros im going coo coo crazy im ready for a second playthrough im itching to play so bad but there's a few things i need fixed before i do aaAAAHAHAHAHAH

[south wasp]

My brain is being scorched by the brain scorcher the more we keep giving GSC money.

[heady elbow]

I know I can, I did for almost 300h. doesn't change the fact that it's not what I payed for

[vernal lily]

Then stop

[wraith fractal]

im doing the same tbh, specially cuz im waiting for dlc but fuuuuuuuck

1.7 made it run so well and master was so fun for the few hours i tried it

[vernal lily]

No one is forcing you to give gsc money

[heady elbow]

still no a life, still no multiplayer and no dlcs

[south wasp]

idk we can do that

[copper radish]

Shtap

[ruby gale]

Im just running ready or not with a friend and redoing all 899 cars on fh5

[wraith fractal]

you played 300h dude lmao regardless of what you wanted you pumped out 300 hours of gameplay time. cmon now. dont tell me you were gritting your teeth in anger hate playing it for 300 full hours

[smoky hawk]

there is alife now

Plus optimization is nice

[wraith fractal]

also dlc in modern games never comes out the same year the game dropped and if it does then it for sure is just repackaged cut content with a price label, most games take a year or close to a year for dlc so like...

[copper radish]

Wait... What if GSC only promised us to get "a life"?

how does that change the fact that devs lied about half of the content?

[vernal lily]

Average day on stalker official discord

[wraith fractal]

how does the devs """"lying""""" change the fact you played the damn thing for three hundred hours

[heady elbow]

real alife or a slightly bigger bubble that spawns events?

[south wasp]

true (i just joined and expect nothing but freakiness)

[heady elbow]

I paid money I worked for, for features that weren't released

[wraith fractal]

it's been a while since i've engaged in this pedantic discourse let me have fun for a bit

[copper radish]

Pick a random NPC you encounter
Follow it, help keep it alive if you have to
See what it does

[vernal lily]

Anyways, how's everyone

[south wasp]

all it did was jusst piss all day

[wraith fractal]

your 40/60 bucks went to your three hundred hours of enjoyment. dunno what to tell you, if you didn't like the game or you thought it was incomplete you would've played what, 20 hours or whatever before dropping it? but no, 300. come on

[wraith fractal]

i have gym in like five minutes and i dont freaking want to

[vernal lily]

I am not going to get in trouble for that one right

[wraith fractal]

i dont hecking want to @frigid hill im not swearing see i dont FUSKING want to

[vernal lily]

It's nice going to the gym

[ruby gale]

Touch grass

[heady elbow]

still doesn't change the fact that I didn't get what I paid for. that's false advertisement

oh yeah i love it once im there but getting up and going outside and stuff ugh

[ruby gale]

Aww, wolf no longer responds to touch grass

Ahh that one....

[vernal lily]

Haven't checked the half life subreddit since the game awards. I wonder how they're doing now.

[robust pendant]

Oh man I forgot this one...

[copper radish]

All I know is, helped out a few characters who turned the crosshair green, at the volhov SAM... Then followed them all the way to rostok bar 👀 helped them survive a firefight and a mutant attack

Looks pretty consistent to me

[heady elbow]

isn't it still limited to a bubble though? I remember playing back when devs claimed it was fixed, but once you knew the trick behind it was pretty obvious that it still wasn't real alife like in original trilogy

[robust pendant]

The bubble is to show you they exist as a viewable entity

But the alife system (as in its registered to be on the world, just not visible) is there

Because you cant see it doesnt mean it doesnt exist

[hybrid tangle]

Desperate.

[heady elbow]

last time I checked that, it seemed to be real alife during long sessions, but if you saved a game near an area where npcs might be doing something you'd get different npcs and events every time you reloaded the game, thus proving that it was still just spawning events and not running a real time life around the zone. was that fixed?

[heady elbow]

am I not suffering enough already?

[robust pendant]

Honestly no idea

[forest ingot]

Oh, I got a new mail from game legends who took care of the Stalker collector, so it turns out I will get my 2024 christmas gift with a new delay, on March/April (maybeTM)

What a joke

Maybe I'll get the collector for 2026 Christmas

[vernal lily]

dayum

[fresh geode]

anyone got any info on when can I except my physical shit i was promised with pre order?

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah. Tomorrow

[fresh geode]

wdym by that?

[cobalt fiber]

It’s a running joke

[fresh geode]

bruh...

[cobalt fiber]

But nah you need to contact the place you purchased from

It’s a bit of a shit show but worth a try

[smoky hawk]

no, The physical bubble is what pops in but that doesnt mean an entity doesnt exist if it isnt popped in, the game will spawn and keep memory of stalkers outside of the view bubble

[carmine star]

March/April lol

[frigid hill]

emmettthegoon has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[strong flare]

Funny you should mention that. Someone just posted a screenshot that they delayed the delay from Feb to March/April! lol

How do you screw people over THIS bad for THIS long?

[strong flare]

I'm gonna go make myself a drink. Or 3 and then make a decision on if I want such a dishonest company to have the nearly $500 of my cash for something they clearly have no intention on delivering in any timely manner.

[heady elbow]

that's good, I'll have to replay to check that out

[shell flax]

I’m trying to figure out wtf that dude in #📸┃screens_and_videos just said

Account is less than a month old & firing off… poetry? maybe? Idk

[civic relic]

im boutta play stalker shoc enhanced verison what mods shud i play with? i forget what mods to use

[smoky hawk]

you shouldnt play with any first time, try to see if you can play the OG

[civic relic]

its not 1st time brother. its like 100th time

[smoky hawk]

then why go for EE?

[civic relic]

just havent played in a very long time

[visual mortar]

you should rip out your ram while the game is running, that would make it challenging

[civic relic]

idk i just noticed i have EE on steam dont even remember buying it but it has controller support i think thats the only reason i really wanna try ti out

[smoky hawk]

EE includes engine changes so it aint compatible with mods
I say go for AA2 or OGSR Legacy or OGSR Rearmed

[civic relic]

u think its compatible at all with a winter snow mod

[smoky hawk]

maybe theres a snow mod for AA2 but I doubt it? most of those are either stand alone or are just text flip

[civic relic]

oh im downloading OGSR LEGACY

[copper radish]

Everyone who bought any of the originals got the corresponding EE gifted

[civic relic]

ohhhhh ok

and they dont have same mod support as og game huh/

[copper radish]

Different engine

[civic relic]

sucks abit i wanna try stalker with controller

[copper radish]

Does steam input not help you out with the OGs? I dunno I don't play with controller

[smoky hawk]

not really, game was just never made for em

[visual mortar]

nope

[small quest]

I play gamma and ogs with steam input. Works great!

[visual mortar]

fake

[small quest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[robust pendant]

Check steam workshop mods, its only compatible with those

But theres not much tbh

Also, afaik, you can make the controller compatible with the ogs, but of course you need to tweak stuff

[weary geode]

are their any stalker 2 co op mods??

[vernal lily]

Probably not

[weary geode]

:<

is there a voice chat?

[shell flax]

Gotta hit a certain server rank, it’s to prevent bots/alts from spamming VC I assume

[weary geode]

:<

but i wanna streaam

[shell flax]

You also need a promotion role by hitting certain requirements

[weary geode]

like what tho :<

[vernal lily]

You can stream without this role once you can see the voice channels. But for posting your channel's videos and, I would also assume, streaming directly from twitch or something, would require you to have it.

[terse warren]

Guys, should I buy stalker again on the PS5

[vernal lily]

If you think the game is worth playing

[terse warren]

I played it a lot on Xb but as we know that is an inferior system overall

And I simply do not want to touch that god awful controller again

[karmic jay]

The series x is actually slightly more powerful, but overall graphically it’s splitting hairs

[terse warren]

I'll have to wait awhile though bc I want the ultimate edition and I simply don't have $110

[terse warren]

Yeah maybe but that doesn't change the controller

It is seriously bad like damn

But on the plus side Xbox is wayyyyy more lenient on the mods topic than PS is

I just want to have a generally better experience than I did with xb (I had a series s btw)

[still current]

I KNEW IT

Looks funny now how 'he' kept saying 'rog' was banned based on lies.

[cobalt fiber]

I mean even then he had a second chance on that account

He got unbanned then fucked up within 2 weeks and banned again

[vernal lily]

It's just funny to me how he 'pretended to talk to someone about how rog get banned'

[cobalt fiber]

I even backed him up for his first ever ban

[vernal lily]

and came in chat saying I and Leaper was lying

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah we knew he was rogg cos he literally told me in DMs when I pointed out in here that he was in Roggs server

But we decided to give him a chance to be… normal

Look how that turned out

[vernal lily]

big mistake

bro had the opportunity to act different and poured it down the drain

[cobalt fiber]

Like as irritating as the complaining was I didn’t mind that

It was his attitude to anyone who disagreed

[vernal lily]

To a point where I honestly could not tell if he was just rage baiting or not. Because one can't seriously be like that.

Like how he said I was worse then Epstein because I called him an ass?

I’m not even mad at that, it was so absurd it looped into hilarity

[charred nova]

That guy was retarded even if sometimes he could have a logical discussions

[cobalt fiber]

[terse warren]

But but I think Stalker is a good game

I enjoy it at least so that's all that matters

[robust pendant]

Play the old ones then

[terse warren]

Nah

[robust pendant]

Smhsmhsmh

[terse warren]

The graphics actually hurt my eyes so I physically can't

[robust pendant]

Shaking
My
Head

[terse warren]

I'm aware

[robust pendant]

You even have mods, come on

Im sure one applies to your needs

[terse warren]

But again it is physically painful to look at older graphics and I don't use a PC

I can't even play FONV and that's one of my favorite games oat

At least not without a million breaks anyway

[sudden rapids]

[ruby gale]

Deathfart?

[dusky pawn]

Yes

Also ngl Id like to do a richter cosplay someday

[barren ginkgo]

Alright boys moment of truth. Gonna load the game and try that sleeping 4 times shit and see if it freezes if it does I guess I’ll delete my save and start a new one which I don’t want to

[charred nova]

Yes him

[ruby gale]

Eh, never really interacted with the guy

[barren ginkgo]

Idk I like the duty guys all black kinda look like a generic SAS operator if they didn’t have the exo suits

Gonna be genuinely pissed if I gotta restart my game everyone said I barely got my toes into the water with game length but I’m 12% through and it feels like a a lot

[dusky pawn]

They arent black tho
And sas ops use multicam I guess you mean like nimrod era sas

[barren ginkgo]

Yea like old school shit

[dusky pawn]

They have those red bits

But honestly I never liked the weird sunrise/beril modifications with these fragmented plates on the front it looks silly

I liked some gamma models but umm
DNC on mercs ? A bit much

[barren ginkgo]

My ultimate favorite kit or costume of any game has gotta be agent hunk from RE

[dusky pawn]

He has a cool theme I guess

[barren ginkgo]

Absolutely sick, nice and plain. Plus it’s all like 80s 90s style gear and webbing

[dusky pawn]

But I was never a fan of old all black SF

[barren ginkgo]

I love the old school shit 70s 80s 90s

Alice webbing etc

[charred nova]

Alright boomer time to take your pills

[dusky pawn]

I like the weird mishmash kits from the 90s where SF used protecs mixed with normal gear and some commercial stuff

Sleeping 4 times didn’t work still freezes

That actually might be worse than just punching it tbh

[barren ginkgo]

I kept my loot and guns and shit but even if I was at slag heap I got spawned back at the beginning where the dogs chewing on u as u wake up

Good. For The Monolith.

[vernal lily]

no, he's real

[barren ginkgo]

Not a real guy cuz that crap was instantaneous

[ruby gale]

[vernal lily]

[terse warren]

Yes and he's a character in-game

That's what.

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/death-stranding-2-higgs-ds2-higgs-monaghan-gif-6121100400995230612

[marble gyro]

So I just learned something

[ruby gale]

Blood cult

[terse warren]

Ds2 is a game that you could spoil in full and it still wouldn't spoil anything about the plot

[vernal lily]

I still rather avoid most spoilers

[marble gyro]

In COP, stashes are actually not repeatable, even after a emission

[ruby gale]

Yes

[barren ginkgo]

That’s because it’s a hideo kojima game

[vernal lily]

But couldn't with certain scenes as I wanted to know how much of a freak Higgs was in DS2

[terse warren]

Fair but like I've seen a hundred plus different clips from that game and still couldn't tell you the plot or anything even close to it

[marble gyro]

So essentially only clear sky had repeatable stashes

[barren ginkgo]

The man is the god of game story creation. Metal gear solid is my favorite of all games anywhere

[terse warren]

This is fact

[ruby gale]

Twisted metal black

[versed delta]

SoC re-uses locations a whole lot for stashes

[terse warren]

The Monolith. Approves of this message

[barren ginkgo]

Nah that game was good but nothing beats metal gear its just so complete in almost every way

[marble gyro]

I prefer Head on

[terse warren]

Gross

But also, free Calamari ig

[marble gyro]

It ain't gay to kiss the homies goodnight

[ruby gale]

[terse warren]

That's not ridiculous to say

[vernal lily]

Hi

[marble gyro]

Hi

[terse warren]

Greetings Fine Gentleman

[ruby gale]

[terse warren]

[vernal lily]

That technically was happening in game, it happened during Sam's sleep

[terse warren]

Gtg play a game now have fun doing whatever you all do

[vernal lily]

Like being a freak

[ruby gale]

Honey cheerios

[terse warren]

Brother what is being typed as I'm about to leave ;-;

[vernal lily]

Higgs calamari

[terse warren]

Yes

[marble gyro]

Wasn't trying to spoil my bad man, but I knew the context, I have actually platinumed the game

[ruby gale]

My average Friday night

[vernal lily]

That's the only calamari I am cooking tonight

[vernal lily]

I already spoiled certain scenes from the game, just nothing major. You're fine.

Also nice

[marble gyro]

Did you see the birthday scene?

[vernal lily]

I thought of 100% the first game but idk

[vernal lily]

the second game? no

[marble gyro]

The second yeah, it's so dope, it reminds me of MGSV birthday scene

[vernal lily]

interesting

[fickle hill]

Kiwi bird

[echo flax]

Hello, everybody!

[vernal lily]

pukeko, it's not a kiwi

[marble gyro]

You know what I want as an update for stalker 2?

Different headlamps, like brighter ones

Not as bright as the original but like more brighter to cover a wider area instead of what's in front of you

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/pukeko-baby-pukeko-bird-big-feet-baby-bird-gif-17348863752699685649

[ruby gale]

What a tragic creature

[marble gyro]

Fun fact about Kiwis, they don't survive after giving birth

Because the egg is twice the size of their body

[ruby gale]

You watched moreparz

[fickle hill]

I WOULD HOPE NOT it has to dislocate it's rib cage as explained by More Parz

[ruby gale]

Ew, ford enjoyer

[vernal lily]

they do

[fickle hill]

Yeah brother my pick up is more repairable than that of a GMC

[marble gyro]

The male is the one incubating the egg tho, not the female that gave birth

[ruby gale]

Except it needs repairs more often than anything except a ram

[marble gyro]

I learned that from watching planet earth narrated by David Attenborough

[fickle hill]

Yeah but with a dodge expect metal shavings to be everywhere in the transmission

[vernal lily]

And doing more research on it clearly shows female kiwis don't always die after egg laying

[ruby gale]

Well they did start putting roller lifters in everything making it die faster then the flats

[vernal lily]

Male kiwis play the main role with raising the chick though, that part is right

[marble gyro]

Hey man, it's either they survive and get internal bleeding or they die during birth

[ruby gale]

And ram just sucks regardless, would never catch me owning one

[marble gyro]

Either way, a female kiwi life cycle sucks

[vernal lily]

I love kiwi bird, pukeko comes in second

[visual mortar]

I could kick a kiwi birds ass in a brawl

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/asdw-gif-7583041915621198443

Degtyarev is that dude, he gets shit done

The fight sequence the conversation

Guy choking on bread thank you and the throwing a tea kettle at you like I just adore the entire sequence

[mystic temple]

Is this your first run?

You’ll have many more awesome sequences ahead

[barren ginkgo]

Yes already been through it but has to restart at 12% game completion

Guy smiles at you like a dip stick before you crack him in the head if u choose to knock him out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[vernal lily]

many cool scenes ahead

[barren ginkgo]

The fighting though had me mesmerized like dang they rilly did good as devs with that one

[mystic temple]

Dude just you wait ur in for a lot

Like there’s tons of cool fight scene

[barren ginkgo]

I LOVED that crap so much man constantly chewing bread as he’s talking kinda has the mannerisms of someone who just got outta bed 🤣🤣🤣

Like it was just beautiful it even just bout it being cool like it comical ASFFFFFF

[mystic temple]

Yeah the game has fun silly moments that bring some comedic relief

[barren ginkgo]

Idk it’s gonna be hard to top the whole solder thing man that $hit was golden

[vernal lily]

a few depressing scenes ahead too, depending on how you view certain characters

Hope you enjoy your game

[barren ginkgo]

Oof don’t like the sound of that lol

[frigid hill]

leninthagreat has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[barren ginkgo]

Didn’t even say anything bad that time tf

[vernal lily]

There are a few I like such as solder and his funny ass so I knocked him out instead of shooting him and then the only other character I really feel anything towards is richter

Hi Stalkers, please advise what is the name if the track that plays at the begining of the game when Skiff says to Herman that cant turn back. Here is this moment on video. https://youtu.be/3lOAmN4OBWc?si=NsVlvU4SW-LOJ0sZ&t=1505

Hi Stalkers, please advise what is the name if the track that plays at the begining of the game when Skiff says to Herman that cant turn back and this music stats in about 10 sec.

[wicked magnet]

I tried searching but Gemini can't recognize the music

[vernal lily]

Very skeptical on clicking links these days

[reef beacon]

Thanks for trying !

[weak sorrel]

Will there be a faction identification system introduced in the game?

[hybrid tangle]

they're not allowed to tell

[harsh jungle]

same bro

[marble gyro]

Just look up the ost for stalker 2

[ripe falcon]

Hey, I thought it could be from "There and back again" or "Wardens" but I checked and it's not. My next guess is that it could be from "Lesser Zone Night"

Otherwise it might be from an unreleased part of the OST (which there are many of)

[pseudo coral]

IM HYPED FOR CRIMSON DESSERT!!!

[marble gyro]

It looks okay

[nova quartz]

Man I have a craving for baked apples all of a sudden...

[sudden rapids]

i love dessert

[feral gust]

Said no one ever 😂

[copper radish]

Countless NPCs say that 👀

[nova quartz]

Kind of the joke here. I'd love the devs make a couple spam bots that just drop NPC lines in the chat randomly.

[copper radish]

O genuinely thought @feral gust doesn't listen to NPC chat 😆

[nova quartz]

If the channel allowed it I'd change my name to BAYUN and just randomly type stuff like "This ain't a graveyard" and "There's nothing here" in the chat.

[copper radish]

That O looks a bit too posh but can't be bothered to edit it
Sick of onscreen keyboards. Someone make a modern blackberry please

[feral gust]

always seemed out of place when they said thing about baked apples, not sure why...

[copper radish]

They had it before maybe as a kid even, and suddenly they remember it

The zone is a harsh place, it's not weird to crave the simple niceties one took for granted back home on the mainland

[steep bloom]

Guys i have a question, on stalker shadow of chornobyl, what is Mod.io?

[wicked magnet]

Platform to upload/download mods

[steep bloom]

Does it work on playstation too?? Plus does it have any risks?

[wicked magnet]

Well, there’s a Sony icon on the webpage, so it’s supported. The risks are pretty much zero

[steep bloom]

Ok, do you know if that cool mod is available on console, Stalker gamma or something i think its called

[dusky pawn]

Its something hard to access in the zone and maybe it's one of the devs obscure childhood dessert

It makes sense its just a pretty niche thing

[oblique igloo]

hy guys good saturday

[feral gust]

yea, that could be the case 🙂

[dusky pawn]

Also I can relate cause fried shredded apples with cinammon and sugar are like my favorite thing lol

I can eat it on waffles panckaes crepes pies and just by the spoonful

[feral gust]

well, never been huge fan of cinammon, but apple pie or cake is nice ^^

[nova quartz]

Well today i got dealt a case of cosmic fate. walked up to a stalker, traded him the full 700K in loot, then literally right after completing the transaction bro got struck by lightning and died. so i looted his body and walked over to his buddy and sold all the same stuff again. is this what it feels like to be a arms dealer?

[steep bloom]

Yo, happy Saturday bro

[nova quartz]

i just killed a sniper whose name was... Checks Notes Adam Sniper...

[brave blaze]

Hello guys, how many hour it would take to finish stalker 2, after i reached to the point of no return?

In average

[nova quartz]

depends on how long you explore the zone. i played for 100+hrs before actually doing the endgame

i'm on my second playthrough

and over 50hrs in without having even done the Duga yet

[robust pendant]

No, and it wont

Just small-ish mods

[cobalt fiber]

After the point of no return you’re looking at a couple hours tops

[shell flax]

Huh, micro center has a 9070 for 400

[dusky pawn]

I am a HUGE fan of cinammon and nutmeg

I add nutmeg to basically any savory dish where it can possibly belong

And I like cinammon rolls, cinammon bread, apple pie and our version of it aka szarlotka, i like cinammon chewing gum i just love it lmao

[dusky pawn]

I think the creator of gamma legit despises console players

[smoky hawk]

its the only based thing Grok does

[robust pendant]

Another more stupid thing to his resume

[dusky pawn]

He's absolutely right

He is kinda braindead overall and acts like a child but he is right on this

[smoky hawk]

it is not easy to admit a Grok Win, but you need to give it to him when hes right

[robust pendant]

No

[harsh jungle]

yes

[robust pendant]

The only win he has made so far is get himself into GoG

And then ruined it by saying that its a love letter to modding

they are shadow dropping

ps will leak again, trust

Wait and see ig

Again highly doubt it’s any time soon especially since beta testing hasn’t even started yet

[uneven arrow]

Did you ever find out?, sorry for digging up old post LOL

[iron wind]

do they test every patch nowadays?

[river chasm]

The major ones seemingly

Jan was quiet last year and I am not surprised it was quiet this year

[wild wing]

can someone quickly DM me? i am writing a discord client and need to test notification badge
any test message would do

[river chasm]

I say let them cook especially since 1.7 and 1.8 were pretty great

[charred nova]

Yes

Every major patch has been beta tested since 1.2

[unborn hill]

hey guys, does anyone know a sure fire way to enable console commands for stalker 2

[ruby gale]

Better safe than sorry

[spice tusk]

Are there any news on an update coming soon? Or will there be no more updates before the big engine upgrade?
I have two locations that freeze and quit the game. Every time I send a bug report though.

[ruby gale]

Probably won't be for awhile

[iron wind]

still patches come with so many bugs tho

like that Nov-Dec patch

[ruby gale]

Cant catch/fix everything at once

[spice tusk]

oh well. kind of a bummer since I have bugs that affect me ATM.

[shell flax]

Especially with a small sample size like the devs have

[ruby gale]

Why im taking a few months off

[shell flax]

Public testing or not

[ruby gale]

Been on my snowrunner grind as of yesterday

Get out of here stalker

[spice tusk]

I said come in, don't stand there

[wild wing]

Simple BP mod loader on nexus

[carmine star]

thought that was bnorked

borked*

[carmine star]

probably not for a while, last update was a update to hold us over for a bit

First DlC maybe by end of the year , big maybe]

[spice tusk]

After finishing all of my desired endings, all side quests, finding all the stashes.
Now I am hunting all the Tablets and notes.

That's right, I AM GOING FOR YOUR SCRAPS OF PAPER!

[carmine star]

Go for all achievments?

[spice tusk]

Nah. Too much effort.

I want it to be exploratory, not a challenge.

Like do you believe it that while I was cleaning up the stashes, I still found 2 or 3 locations that were new to me?

[carmine star]

i believe it

[ruby gale]

Only 1 hour until im done with my weekend shift

[dreamy dagger]

I SAID GET OUT, FUNK OUT OF HERE!

[charred nova]

Someone random dmed me today about the comment you pinged me about regarding paying someone to add the 1895 contract rifle to the game as a mod

[main jewel]

YEAAAAHHHHHH

oh wait

hope goes down

was their name sharon

[main jewel]

your a legend of the zone and you cant say fuck

[nova quartz]

i hope we get more revolvers like a .38, 357. .44 and maybe for shits and giggles a .500

[charred nova]

Nah it was some guy named water leaf

Idk if it’s a bot or not

[main jewel]

oh

hmmm

[charred nova]

The guy has zero message history here

[main jewel]

probably a bot

i dunno

[charred nova]

Yah I doubt anyone would at this stage add such a unique weapon to the game

[main jewel]

sad

maybe you can ask oxide or something

maybe one day

[charred nova]

Oxide I know your a busy guy but what if I give you 20 dollars and you do me a massive favor

[main jewel]

when oxide doesnt have 300 things on his hands

[main jewel]

i think itll cost more than that

i believe he has people who model things for him if the models arent already put

out

either that or he has to pay for the model

[shell flax]

Also he has gone on record repeatedly saying animations are a massive hurdle

[main jewel]

yessss

so maybe one day

when gsc makes modding easier

[ruby gale]

[charred nova]

Yah especially since it would have a bunch of totally unique animations

[ruby gale]

Animation is fun, but annoying, dabbled a bit in animation for awhile but haven't tried recently

Catherine O'Hara died apparently, just got a random notification

[floral oar]

How am i at the point of no return with 77%?on ps

[ruby gale]

Rip chat

[opal glacier]

Hey guys, how's it going? I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to tell me about the current state of the game. I played Stalker 2 when it came out, but it was a mixed bag; the game didn't quite win me over because there were a lot of things that needed polishing.

I'm looking to play it again.

It's been over a year now, and I thought it would be a good idea to ask here. I hope someone will gladly answer me. Cheers!

[dreamy dagger]

Always the same excuse

[iron wind]

yea, u know some people are like... employed?

shocker, right

[tranquil mantle]

Yeah I did and yes you can by aiming very carefully at their legs and only shooting one shot at a time till they fall over but aren't dead rt

[ruby gale]

Its better than it was at launch with it being a lot more stable now, but there are still some issues with bodies/weapons falling through the ground, crashes for some people, and other problems im probably forgetting. Personally ive had a wonderful time since launch

[dreamy dagger]

You sound like some Rockstar employee

[uneven arrow]

alr tyty i'll try it later, i rolled back the save but havent done the mission yet just to make sure if i can save them or not

[ruby gale]

Didn't the north building burn down?

[opal glacier]

Thanks for the reply!

[iron wind]

and you sound entitled

[violet dune]

GSC should go dark for 12months

[dreamy dagger]

I sound retarded?

Well its cuz I have disabled my retarder....

[daring fiber]

Is my game glitched, Ive been stuck on the first assault on Duga, everytime Faust says you must not be here.... I run out the front gate, but get instantly shot by a sniper and killed. I cant progress, wtf am I supposed to do

[violet dune]

idk, maybe dont listen to freak evil faust

[daring fiber]

If you dont you just die slowly

[violet dune]

faust should disappear and than u run out

[daring fiber]

Yes and then I get shot in the head by a sniper for a single tap

[violet dune]

bro it must be a wind

check towers, some monolith still exist

[charred nova]

true tbh

they should just be like we are taking a 12 month break to recharge our batteries we will see you all in 2027 have a good year

[violet dune]

i just think every month "major" patch just takes out a lot of time for devs, because they need to test it and publish it, etc. and those patches are not very impactful. its better grind more months and release something with impact

[ruby gale]

I honestly wouldn't mind that since im already taking a break

[ornate merlin]

hey guys, i havent bought stalker 2 yet. is it worth it?

[ruby gale]

I personally have enjoyed it since launch but it does have its issues

[ornate merlin]

tbh i dont really care ab bugs n stuff bc it is in EVERY SINGLE game ever made

[ruby gale]

Then yeah, id say its worth it

[ornate merlin]

thx bro that helps a lot

[dusky pawn]

Its worth it esp if you actually care about the og games/movie/metro/roadside picnic

[ornate merlin]

yeah ive never played any metro or stalker games before so

[dusky pawn]

Crazy but you might still like it regardless

[ornate merlin]

yeah i know

[ornate merlin]

thx bro but 1 last question, isnt the game like 160 gb

[ornate merlin]

do u know if there are any steam workshop mods?

[dusky pawn]

Yes and yes

[ornate merlin]

ok thx

[marble gyro]

Morning

[serene barn]

i wonder when will be a good time to return to Stalker 2 for another playthrough

[marble gyro]

You could do it right now

The game at its state, is like Shadow of chernobyl quality and partial COP quality

After streaming COP, recently the definition of A Life to people is so far fetched

The spawn bubble as people say in stalker 2, is still present in COP, the only difference between the two, is that COP is more chaotic with encounters

COP may be a good game, but it is extremely small compared to the rest

Nostalgia clouds a lot of people's minds

[ruby gale]

[marble gyro]

Stalker 2 just needs A life tweaks and it will be almost the exact same as COP

So @serene barn I would say now is an okay time to return to stalker

[ruby gale]

To start playing yes, to return to? I'd wait

[marble gyro]

What I do miss tho and only COP had this, each anomaly field could spawn 3 artifacts at a time

[novel comet]

do mods disable achievements?

[robust pendant]

That is quite literally not true

CoP doesn't have a spawn bubble, they are already spawned (or if it does, its very big) What CoP has, and is the worst out of the trilogy afaik, is an action bubble

[strong onyx]

They do but other mods can fix that.

[robust pendant]

When you are close to X distance of the NPCs they have a more complex behaviour (and even then is the worst in the trilogy)

[twilit osprey]

GSC needs to start communication with us again.......Stalker 2 wasn't ready for release a year ago and it's still not there

[robust pendant]

CS, iirc, had a bigger bubble than CoP even

[marble gyro]

It literally is true, dude I played vanilla last night, I literally tested this, npcs spawn out of thin air near you, as well as mutants, offline sights of battles do happen as well, but live npcs that patrol the same 50m distance you see, and fight in that area only, when you leave the area gun shots are not heard at all and no mutant sounds, no clipping out, the battle just fast forwards rolls a dice and out of the probability you see is the end results before the player returns

[marble gyro]

CS had all the npcs spawned in at once, hence why you see a faction war taking place every 5 seconds

[smoky hawk]

hopefully not, COP sucked

[robust pendant]

Well I hoped my memory isn't messing with me, I was pretty sure that it didnt happen

[marble gyro]

Well in terms of like chaotic feeling, that's what Stalker 2 is more so aiming for

[robust pendant]

But well, CS example is still up, which is the minimum reference they could have while making S2 alife

[smoky hawk]

Chaotic? bro, COP is the most cucked Alife as ever been

[robust pendant]

Also this

[smoky hawk]

they cut its jewels so it woujldnt mess with the quests

[marble gyro]

There were hardly any quests tbh

[smoky hawk]

in COP?

[marble gyro]

COP was more so a sandbox than anything, quests really did not matter as much since it all takes place in one area

[robust pendant]

Calling CoP a sandbox is a disgrace to anomaly even

[marble gyro]

Literally, COP feels like a huge dlc

[smoky hawk]

they do, Stalker is a Action FPS with an adventure focus, very heavy RPG infleunce

it is

GSC considers it an expansion pack

[marble gyro]

$40 expansion pack back in the day is wild, even diablo 2 expansion pack did not cost that much

[robust pendant]

I'll install CoP again to check cause I was pretty sure they didnt despawned

Might've believed that the despawn was too far for me to notice

[marble gyro]

Just walk one direction, and all the noises you hear, just disappears

Like they all stop for some reason, then when you return you'll see the end results and aftermath

[robust pendant]

stopping ≠ despawning

Do they stop or do they despawn

[marble gyro]

You don't see the other npcs patrolling afterwards

Instead you see new npcs with different names but not the ones previously fighting

[serene barn]

ehhh idk, i know they've since my last run, done fixes for things, not yet managed to fix other things. introduced mutant skinning, the Mosin and Kora1911, added in at least 1 new quest? added in new artifacts and at least 1 new artifact effect. added in NVGs and added weapon attachments previously unavailable.

[marble gyro]

The other ones Despawn and get replaced

1 new quest only is wild, it's like a tree branch of quests that were added in

[serene barn]

was that done after the mosin update because i feel like i remember that being 1 quest

[marble gyro]

This was the untold stories update

[robust pendant]

Seems like you were right, my b then

[marble gyro]

What I do want returning from COP, and this is like a small detail, NPCs artifact hunting

[violet dune]

this is the problem. we as community wanting Alife to be like 15 years ago. i think Alife should improve with time and target should not be this
