Finally beat the game on Master. Took me 250+ hours. I loved every bit of it except the Scar fight and Granite last room. If someone does a world first on master hardcore, it would have to be a Scar ending. Simply too many tedious boss fights

@spark cypress Hey Vati, regarding Lieutenant Sokolov from CoP, doesn't the good ending slide for him make his fate pretty clear? It was something like, he flew a few more combat missions before being shot down over the Zone, at which point he decided he'd had enough and retired from the military and flew civilian airline?

modest comet
#

@dusky pawn His guass rifle will one shot you even with best armor. I DID NOT however, verify if the guass rifle does electricity damage.

plain fiber
#

Would be cool if it did. Would emphasize how it was meant as more of an EMP rifle rather than a deletion gun.

carmine star

#

What he choose after

plain fiber
#

Did they change the ending slide in the EE version then? I swear it explicitly stated that after being shot down, he retired from the military and went on to pilot for a civilian airline.

#

Do we know when orders will be full filled this month since it’s been delayed again

cobalt fiber
#

I replayed it a couple weeks ago via EE

plain fiber
#

Maybe I'm misinterpreting or misunderstanding something, but if that's the case then how is his fate unclear?

cobalt fiber
#

No idea where he’s coming from lol it 100% is the same as it always was

dusky pawn
#

I guess he means that he could have returned ?

cobalt fiber
#

as far as I can gather he’s saying fate is left unclear if all objectives not met for the correct/good slide

#

Nothing about the slides were changed in the EE versions

modest comet
#

having played all previous Stalker games, I did think the endings were a bit short, simple and lame. However, the story itself progressed nicely on its own. Still a 10/10 game. I didn't encounter any bugs, except the grenade thing over the wall to trigger a bandit quest.

cobalt fiber
#

They weren’t any shorter or simpler than the trilogy so idk why previous games are relevant in that statement

#

SoC and CS are literally just jump through teleporters and shoot shit

modest comet
#

I was mindblown by the Stalker 1 SoC.

cobalt fiber
#

Soc probably had the better ending of the 3 trilogy games

#

More cos it was like woah wtf

#

CoP was the most underwhelming of all 4 games imo

#

Ending wise

modest comet
#

i played in like 2011 and it was still mind blowing for me relative to any other games storyline, except maybe Half life. Unsure if Mass Effect had come out.

cobalt fiber
#

The endings did feel kinda rushed in HOC though

#

Just boss fight after boss fight basically

opaque cipher
#

When is the game?

cobalt fiber
#

Who is the game?

modest comet
#

IMO strelok is the coolest aspect of Stalker 2. But I can't imagine anyone doing a Master permadeath run and killing all 3 bosses + granite without dying.

cobalt fiber
#

Granite used to be cheeseable in the sense you could start off the murder room area before dropping down

#

At that point it would have been easy

#

But they patched that so now you’re forced to drop in before it triggers the assault

#

Not a fan but what can ya do

#

I mean it was still difficult but you could at least pick off a few gauss snipers before dropping down

dusky pawn
#

That caught me off guard honestly

plain fiber
#

Plus the good endings had this wonderful air of hopefulness to them while still maintaining intrigue for unsolved mysteries.

dusky pawn
#

To me that ending felt like pulled out of a cheap paradocumentary

#

The contents of the ending were good the executuion uhh
Also the final fight blows

cobalt fiber
#

Well shit is a strong word

#

Underwhelming

plain fiber
#

I loved CoP's gameplay, it felt the most polished of the original trilogy. I was also a big fan of how they leaned more into the immersive-sim characteristics of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. by making the main questline far more open-ended in approach and I loved how the whole thing made you feel like a detective. Or at least for me it did.

cobalt fiber
#

The story was fantastic and the improvements on gameplay (other than noodle arms) was great but the ending was just a bit flat

marble gyro
#

I got sent home early

cobalt fiber
#

And I’d argue probably the easiest ending segment too

Even on master and vet

smoky hawk

neither will I, I know I'm right anyway

plain fiber
#

Doesn't help that the definition of an immersive sim has never been concretely nailed down as far as I know beyond the usual "It's like Thief/System Shock 2.".

kindred fable
smoky hawk
#

it's definition is already quite narrow, it is a game that allows you to progress thru your objectives in ways that aren't accounted for by the developers
Stalker has hard scripting for all its quests so it can hardly be called one

kindred fable
#

Feels like minecraft fits the definition (by the creator of the term) better than any other game that is considered to be an immersive sim, lol

yeah if you explore everything you looking at a few hundo

I’ve been informed once the game is beaten you have to restart everything there is no exploration after last mission

carmine star

thats correct

barren ginkgo

So when I get close to it I’m just gonna stop the story and enjoy my game I have a hulking set of gear like I’m probably the deadliest predator in the zone rn, deggy and strelok WISH they could be this bad ass and I’m not willing to restart all that

yeah there is a point of no return which you will get a warning on the screen

so you can just turn around

I was like oh shit… you go buddy

Im sour bout that quest, my last run it bugged out last part of the mission, no stash or guide at that hub

barren ginkgo

Leave the area go do buncha other stuff when u come back it’ll be up and running same thing happened to me

Yeah i tried that, and sleeping , just ended up deleting that save lol. Did not feel like lugging gear around that area again.\

barren ginkgo
#

I feel that

#

Hercules should be way more common than it is haven’t even found a single merchant that sells it or any of the other buffers

#

Further more I think there should be a battery system for the nvgs and flashlights too it would be very immersive to me. Metro did the battery stuff with a charger I think bats should be a purchasable/lootable commodity for electronic devices. Hell I’d go as far as to say bats even for electronic sights

oh i had alot of hercules, i cleared every nook and crany up until that point. Just honestly did not feel like running all the way to either malacite or chem with nothing in between again.

Oh well here is to hoping they add co-op AND pvp to their game 🥂

Its just that all of them got hit with the "there wont be coop", which is true unless a mod is made

and this game doesnt have nearly enough content for a free roam

Are there not a lot of stuff like items in the game?

not alot of quests

they get kinda dry

the gun selection is okay

Why not launch a massive overhaul of weapons and stuff

theres mods that will and sort of have done this already

So your saying they released a game too early in shambles and are now ducktaping it together instead of fixing the real problems

And even if they did release it properly, they wouldnt be adding coop and many more guns

Honestly fair enough, I have a good idea for a game though now

Also where is zotov after that whole assault I heard him say it’s been an honor while in a firefight. Did he die like a good soldier? Or is he alive still and if dead can I find his body? I’m gonna carry it back with me to chem

#

OMFG. I just heard the radio chatter. Where tf is his body. I need to carry him back….

marble gyro
#

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THE STALKERS AIM THEIR WEAPON AT YOU!!

#

Holy shit man, so I find a couple of wandering stalkers, and they phase right through you and not pay attention to you when you have your weapon out right? It's a bug, a huge one

#

If you shoot your weapon near them, they will "Solidify" and become an obstacle their AI will kick in and immediately aim their gun at you and tell you to put it away

light rover
marble gyro
#

Yeah in a way, but they won't react at all if you have your weapon out unless you shoot a round near their direction, because it causes like some sort of trigger to where they become alive

#

And you can't walk through them

#

So new video from Game with Dave came out, and he is talking about patch 1.9 which will have numerous Updates to A life

light rover
marble gyro
#

Interesting....it was taken down

light rover
#

If GSC can't give updates rn, at least one of their primary (I am assuming) testers can say a few good things to keep us in the loop lol

marble gyro
#

It was literally a new short video, around this afternoon I saw it, and then it got taken down, me thinks he said a bit too much

light rover
marble gyro
#

Anyways imma post a video on AI reaction

#

It's like a small test and theory to how and why A LIFE is the way it is at its current state

#

But it definitely proves my point that AI is crazy bugged right now

#

Oh and lol I found game with Dave's video, I'm just tweaking I guess

light rover
marble gyro
#

Huh....so when npcs take over an Area they are reactive to your actions

#

I just got blasted by ward soldiers that took over a location because I apparently had my gun out too long

#

It's so weird how this AI works, I wonder if like, NPCs are not objects to like reduce potential performance issues arising?

#

I believe next patch, will fix NPCs for sure

light rover
#

What about Shay's Living Zone mod? Doesn't it help fix some of those issues?

marble gyro

I dunno, don't have a pc to test it

Atm I've yet to see one of them die to an anomaly, like they don't colide with anomalies, it's a bug

#

They can go right through them as if nothing is wrong

copper radish
#

I think I've seen one guy die to the whirligig anomaly just outside the Kazkovyi (?) back door, but he was in combat so that doesn't count (they're always in combat there, bloodsuckers spawn like mad in that area)

#

It's wild af: every single time I walk outside there, the doors lock behind me until the suckers are killed; and there's always one corpse of a random loner, not even in armor just that yellow hoodie, who is better stocked than an upmarket stash

#

Multiple weapons, food, ammo, medkits, bandages, vodka...

marble gyro
#

Combat npcs do count

#

As long as they come into contact with an anomaly it counts

#

Like I want it to happen during combat

#

So that way if it's a tough fight, I want them to fall on their own mistakes not mine ya know?

copper radish
#

Yea that's what I'm saying: of course he died, he was solid already 🔥 I haven't got the chance to see them approach anomalies while outside combat

#

i have seen guys die in anomalies outside of combat to

Maybe once, that I can recall: at the cooling towers, the base of the 2nd tower thats not built yet and full of electro, a band of 4 walked in there in a nice orderly line, avoiding all electros like the pros they are

But srsly: not sure how hard it would be to implement, but I'd like it if stalkers (at least in the same group) acknowledged each other by name! Everyone has a name and it's not used for anything.

Why? When the algo pops in a group of 4, it has to generate a random name for everyone. How hard is it to store those names, and construct the off-the-cuff dialog so there are placeholders for names in it?

Same idea for reacting to friends dying, or even getting attacked

I suppose, i honestly don't know, i don't like coding and have little knowledge of it 😛

copper radish
#

The names are already stored: every NPC keep their name from the point of spawn until he dies and despawns when you walk away

#

Also re. names: anyone notice that in larger groups, like a band of 8-10 mercs, it's almost inevitable that two guys have the same last name? So many brothers in the zone... I first noticed it in the bunker where Skull's mercs ambush you after picking up that device.

I understand your role as a moderator here is a faux title and you dont actually do anything here. And i want o use less pleasent words than those to explain you your own situation.

Imagine being a moderator for a big discord. Hundreds of actives. You start recruiting for more because you cant handle the racist discriminating stuff your playerbase spews out on an average day. You need to be careful who to recruit.

An 18 year old applies. First thing you notice is that there is conflicting information. You investigate.

Do you maybe not understand what stalking means? Do i need to explain that word to you@ because i didnt do that. So please, stop saying mindless stuff like that.
