[hazy haven]

Are they hardly working on the DLC?

[marble gyro]

No, they moved from Ukraine to Prague man

It's taking longer because of the move

[hazy haven]

recently? I thought they left Ukraine a long time ago. Like 2022 or something 🥲

[robust pendant]

they also had holidays I'm sure, so there won't be many movement from now

[marble gyro]

Just be patient, the 1.9 update is going to be more than a hotfix, looking at extensive changes

[robust pendant]

also, they did move in 2022-2023

some, not all

[marble gyro]

Well probably see it like around April

[hazy haven]

How do you know? Are you a super tester?

[visual mortar]

[marble gyro]

Dude pops in here occasionally as well

ward boot licker

[marble onyx]

Hey guys, how is the situation with mods currently for the game ? Is that true that a lot of them not working current version? Talking mostly about QOL mods, but was eyeing also some performance mods, or its no more needed? Havent played game after finishing it after initial release, so wondering what i should get before starting new playthru, since want to get done all achievemnts.

[harsh jungle]

bro licked korshunov’s boots clean to join the ward

[marble gyro]

No wonder they looked new

[shell oak]

Fight me loner.

[shell oak]

I made them spotless you low life stalker.

[harsh jungle]

I am better than u

[marble gyro]

Ward is just a wannabe military

[harsh jungle]

I didn’t lick korshunov’s boots clean

[marble onyx]

duh is this some RP beaf? 😄

[marble gyro]

Like a discount militia

[shell oak]

They are the military son.

[harsh jungle]

I spat on them and ran away

[main jewel]

erm im actually a corps person i will kick ur ass

[shell oak]

Only in your dreams.

[harsh jungle]

rumor is I also drop kicked korshunov in self defense

[shell oak]

Kick rocks you delusional loner.

[main jewel]

the ward guy calling me delusional, at least i can shoot my gun when i wanna

[harsh jungle]

bro I think wardens are delulu

[shell oak]

I drop kick every stalker I see with my shiny boots.

[shell oak]

How’s the ending?

[main jewel]

shiny boots cause you never use them

[marble onyx]

can ward even choose what boots they wear ?

[harsh jungle]

bro your boots aren’t as shiny as Korshunov’s bald ahh head

[main jewel]

bro never goes out into the field 💔

[shell oak]

It’s called discipline. Something loners never been taught.

[main jewel]

the canon one

[harsh jungle]

I love hating on Wardens

[main jewel]

or most to be

ward ending leaves no room for another stalker game

[shell oak]

This is war!!!

[marble onyx]

i like hating on anyone, just as part of entertaiment 😄

[marble gyro]

Discipline to lick the coin slot between the asş Crack is crazy

[harsh jungle]

sometimes I just hate

[marble onyx]

thats the way!

[main jewel]

also

aint the ward just duty with funding

[harsh jungle]

I say we should defund the Ward

[main jewel]

the ward is like no fun allowed and trys to remove the second chance at life people have access too

[harsh jungle]

like they don’t need the money

[marble onyx]

dunno ward seems like last resort for ppl who did not made it to duty

[main jewel]

i call that controling

[shell oak]

So you’re saying they’re a well disciplined and well organized military? Please say more.

[harsh jungle]

joining the Ward is for wussies

[shell oak]

Both Ward and duty will kick your butt.

[marble gyro]

Well Disciplined my ass man, at least Duty has morals, Ward just wants control

[main jewel]

well you lick the funding off of the regulatory board the most corrupt scientific board on the planet so

[harsh jungle]

I lick the funding off of no one

[marble onyx]

they not even able to fix issues in their facility, how they will be able to find a loner ?

[shell oak]

And nobody does? Get out of here.

[marble gyro]

Ward has no morals

[shell oak]

You have no morals.

[nova quartz]

techncially. Duty wants to destroy the zone. The Ward wants to profit from it.

[harsh jungle]

I wanna kick the Ward’s ahh, anyone with me?

[main jewel]

well no they technically fight for their brothers or something

[marble gyro]

Deez nuts got more morals than ward

[shell oak]

I will kick anyone non duty/ward. Bring it!

[nova quartz]

For Strider and the rest of Noontide...

[harsh jungle]

Deggy has more morals than the Ward

[main jewel]

i mean i guess bro

[shell oak]

Which I use a slug to punch through.

[marble onyx]

thats kinda correct 😄

[marble gyro]

Slug rounds are for wusses

[main jewel]

but slugs are fun

[nova quartz]

real men use only Skif's pistol to 100% the game

[harsh jungle]

we raid the ward base for Deggy and everyone in Noontide

[shell oak]

Keep yapping low life.

[marble gyro]

Throwing salt on them maybe

[main jewel]

fixed paycheck

[shell flax]

‘Wants to profit from it’

No no, they still want to destroy the zone, they want the Noosphere energy

[marble onyx]

is that a challenge ? 😄

[nova quartz]

pretty sure someone already did it.

[shell oak]

Oh I’m sorry for having a job.

[nova quartz]

which can't exist if they fully destroy the zone

[main jewel]

well ward is more like a office worker while loners are like business owners

[marble onyx]

yeah pretty sure someone did, now it sounds actually as fun to try ..

[nova quartz]

Paycheque*

[shell oak]

Business? Where?

[marble gyro]

Having a job in an economy that does not exist, how does that work for you? Oh wait Sidorovich pays your checks

[main jewel]

who the hell says paycheque

types

blah

[shell flax]

destroying the zone doesn’t wipe the energy, it kills Subtle matter

[main jewel]

selling things

having fun

[nova quartz]

anyone who went to school i hope.

[main jewel]

making hopeful knew friends

[marble onyx]

i can imagine using APSB for full playthru tho, loved that gun

[main jewel]

okay well im not brit

[nova quartz]

ran only weapons with 9x39mm ammo once. was fun.

[main jewel]

paycheque is like a british thing

[shell oak]

You mean the artifacts that they fail to get? Even die from? Sure. Real business men.

[main jewel]

americans use paycheck

[nova quartz]

mean neither. I'm canadian.

[main jewel]

oh well

your above me so

[shell oak]

Sure buddy. You’re 100% right. Definitely a wise egg. 🥚

[marble onyx]

jeez i want to join monolith after this conversation here 😄

[nova quartz]

easy buddy, thats very closely getting into personal attacks when this was a just for fun thing

[main jewel]

well that’s only a part of it, some businesses fail, but like so many wardens died too, they just follow orders and get bossed around and died for it

the loner freedom is amazing

but freedomers take it too far

[shell oak]

Oh I’m sorry i can’t say egg?

[nova quartz]

loner yes, Freedom no

[visual mortar]

[stark crescent]

[fickle hill]

Have you been on the coco

[modest notch]

In 45 hours ihavent upgraded single weapon

[charred nova]

What like coco powder

[fickle hill]

Harpy is number 1

[fickle hill]

Yeah

[marble gyro]

That Vietnam stuff actually gives me energy, numbs pain and gives a lot of energy

[charred nova]

Why would coco fix my back pain

[marble gyro]

Like I just feel invigorated when I take it

[fickle hill]

Stim cells I guess

[charred nova]

What I really need is some hand made boots

I’ve learned the hard way that no one makes boots that fit my feet

[ruby gale]

There's a guy that does handmade hats, things are like $2k a piece

[charred nova]

I got a hat

My hat works fine

[ruby gale]

I do hoods, not hats

[fickle hill]

What kind of boots? heavy snow boots like Mucks or RedWings

[charred nova]

My current boots are Irish setters

[ruby gale]

And I think im up to 12 1/2 or 13

[charred nova]

I really wanted whites boots but

They simply don’t make boots wide enough for my feed

[marble gyro]

Yo stem cell research does crazy work, it will revitalize anything

[ruby gale]

I just have steel toe caterpillars

[fickle hill]

Well the saying goes "do it yourself" you might to have to ask grandma

[charred nova]

Grandma doesn’t know how to make custom boots

[fickle hill]

No but sewing experience

[ruby gale]

Grandma ain't native

[fickle hill]

Well I guess in doubt YouTube

[charred nova]

I’m just a vaguely Scottish white guy who’s really short

With really wide feet

Like my foot side is 9.5 but to get something from most brands that fit I’d have to get a 12 in wide

[ruby gale]

Im genuinely curious as to what it am besides American white

[fickle hill]

I am really sorry so Clown feet?

[ruby gale]

No, thats long

[charred nova]

Like most brands there wide size

Would need to be double wide

To fit my feet

Unless I get giant shoes

Which then don’t fit either

[ruby gale]

That just reminded me of the news reporter roasting that fat kid

[charred nova]

Most work boots I’ve found are made for tall people with regular size feet

Not tiny hobbit people

They are just really worn out now

My boots for context

And hurt my feet when I wear them for a long time

[fickle hill]

So you could try insoles

[ruby gale]

Thats pretty much boots in general without a foam insert

[charred nova]

I have

[main jewel]

can i have

[ruby gale]

Ew, foot lover

[charred nova]

You want my boots?

[ruby gale]

Unfriend

[marble gyro]

Yo shoes remind me of that one video, where barny roasts that kid for having the Benjamin Franklin loafers

[visual mortar]

not bad

[main jewel]

yes cause mine are ruined

[main jewel]

❌

[marble gyro]

Get some new ones

[visual mortar]

i used to wear boots

[charred nova]

So are mine they have been heavily used for 3 years

[visual mortar]

[main jewel]

oh

[main jewel]

you dont want 300 dollars

https://tenor.com/view/squeak-yell-prairie-dog-gif-8723954077937677588

[fickle hill]

Damn I wonder if I am the only one to wear knee high mucks everyday

[marble gyro]

Yall only have one pair? I be buying 4 pairs at a time

[charred nova]

Why would you pay 300 dollars for MY boots

[main jewel]

jack couldve lied and made bank

[charred nova]

I’m too honest

[visual mortar]

jack i would pay 300 dollars to kill jack

[main jewel]

well they dont look like shit

[ruby gale]

Wasteful and pointless

[main jewel]

here in texas all i see is cowboy fucker boots

[visual mortar]

shut UP

[marble gyro]

That's just the birds eye view

[visual mortar]

i have multiple pairs of shoes

gotta style

[fickle hill]

In your local murdocks?

[main jewel]

i have 2 pairs

black shoe

white shoe

[marble gyro]

I got sneaks, Jordan's, Vans, Etnies

[fickle hill]

I just wear a pair of steel toe mucks because of my line of work

[charred nova]

https://www.irishsetterboots.com/work-boots/soft-toe-boots/ashby-83605.html

These are the boots

Idk if they come in women’s sizes

I have my sandals

Which I wear when driving

And my boots

These are my only foot wear

[marble gyro]

Yo I used to wear wolverines men floorhand boots black 6" soft toe

[charred nova]

I can’t wear steel toe shoes ever again

[ruby gale]

Sandals when driving seems like a jeep only thing

[charred nova]

I did for a year and a half I literally had to have surgery on my big toe on both feet 5 times

They would just give me ingrown toe nails

Both sides of my toe

Not worth wearing them if I’m nearly in constant pain due my toe nails in growing

[fickle hill]

I got my ingrowns dealt with a foot doc only once on both feet and never gotten them again

Their magic chemical is what helped a ton

[charred nova]

No matter what I tried

Doc was like man you gotta just get different shoes man

Or you’ll be doing this forever

[fickle hill]

I mean I struggle on boots on foot size but since I adapted to the steels I wear 2 pairs of socks just so I don't get any rubbing on my heels

I would wear 3 on my muds since they were a size 9 XD

[ruby gale]

My feet get too warm doing that

And 2 socks in a size 12 1/2 or 13 feels weird

[charred nova]

Bros got feet even smaller than mine

[fickle hill]

Well it can depend on the socks honestly I wear the full cotton muck socks with gold toe

[fickle hill]

Oh yeah my size is 6

[ruby gale]

I like to think i have normal size feet

[charred nova]

How tall are you

[fickle hill]

5'6 if I recall

[charred nova]

I’m 5’5 and my feet aren’t even that small

[fickle hill]

My sister has clown feet

[ruby gale]

6'1" with 13s

[fickle hill]

Could not imagine being 6ft bro enjoy the back problems

[ruby gale]

Not fun, but ignorable

[charred nova]

I’m a small man living in a big man’s world

[fickle hill]

I get it I hope I stay 5'6 I really don't want to be 6ft I would be walking in my fathers steps in back pain

Dude already had surgery just so he could feel his leg

Bro is burnt out of mechanics so the nissan isn't getting fixed here anytime soon

[ruby gale]

Nissan is a grey area, not very fun to work on

[fickle hill]

It was miserable getting the transmission out

[ruby gale]

Especially once you find the cabin air filter

[fickle hill]

The only benefit on that 2013 SR is that we don't have to take out the sub frame

[marble onyx]

oh, flamewar is over, so im gonna post this thing again ..

Hey guys, how is the situation with mods currently for the game ? Is that true that a lot of them not working current version? Talking mostly about QOL mods, but was eyeing also some performance mods, or its no more needed? Havent played game after finishing it after initial release, so wondering what i should get before starting new playthru, since want to get done all achievemnts.

[ruby gale]

Cant get achievements with mods, and mods should work long as description says its up to date with current patch

[dusk cosmos]

Is this game like fallout 4

[drifting forge]

Not really no

Some overlapping vibes

[charred nova]

owning new and old Nissans is far more trouble then its worth imo

yes sure 240s are cool and all but

[drifting forge]

But none of the 4 games are really like it

[charred nova]

yah know whats not cool

paying an arm and a leg fixing them up

[fickle hill]

This is for the money this thing has 70k miles and my father can get 7k usd out of it

[charred nova]

paying crazy prices for parts to fix them and being almost unable to find a even semi good example anymore

Least once you pay the entry price for a rx7 the actual car is extremely high quality

[fickle hill]

What was it I paid 864.87 for parts

[harsh jungle]

two more skeins of yarn after the one I just started

[robust pendant]

Not even close really

[fickle hill]

I mean I don't feel bad for the people that own a nissan titan cummins 15k for a whole new transmission

[charred nova]

15k for a fucken gear box in a nissan bro

[fickle hill]

😂

I could only imagine the transfer case

[charred nova]

who the hell is buying a truck like that if its not a ford or toyota

[fickle hill]

But this is just for the money at the end of the day my father got it for 500 bucks and my uncle towed it here

[fickle hill]

Or even a GMC

[charred nova]

like bro you wake up one day and are like yah know what im gonna do buy a 150k dollar nissan truck

that's a good idea im sure

[fickle hill]

Bro you can get a king ranch for that kind of doubloons

[ruby gale]

Do not buy new

[fickle hill]

Well in my area old ford trucks are hard but I got the deal on a 5 Liter 23 F150

[ruby gale]

Everything other than Toyota pretty much breaks before 60-100k miles

[fickle hill]

My uncle has the rare F250 with an international engine

[ruby gale]

Plus dealerships will charge 18k for manifolds

[ruby gale]

We had a 2018 with probably around 60k or so throw its 4x4, 2 wheel bearings off the same wheel, and the door wouldn't shut

[fickle hill]

Bro

[ruby gale]

In the same day

Ford has absolute shit quality control

[fickle hill]

Well in this day of age it's a hard pill to swallow

[ruby gale]

Lot of car brands that were good just suck now, Toyota is really the only one worth buying

[fickle hill]

Either accept the pain now of foresee a worse time in the future

Until the Right to repair act updates or a new law is in place

[ruby gale]

Everything is just getting over complicated with the tech getting forced into each new vehicle

[fickle hill]

Ye

[ruby gale]

To the point were some engineers that made it cant even figure out why it doesn't work

[fickle hill]

Sadly in this point of time this opinion is the minority as people get used to said tech

I like the idea of 360 camera's and range sensors don't get me wrong this helps a ton

[marble gyro]

Over here at Dave and busters, $5 drinks, barely feeling a buzz and happy hour is over

[shadow copper]

Just found out you can keep all the loot you get from the arena lol

[errant crane]

hey question, is there a specific channel where i can discuss any problems with my game?

[shell flax]

#s2-support

[twilit gorge]

Hello fellow Stalkers I have one question is the game worth playing or waiting till future updates?

[modest notch]

i recently started playing 1.8.1 patch and have 45hours. I like it

[shadow copper]

I love it personally but there are some bugs still getting shot through walls some quests bug out still but still I love it so much on my second play through

[twilit gorge]

I really wanna play the game but unfortunately my PC took a shit. And I have only my ps5. I have heard they are putting out a big engine update any guess when that will come out ?

[shadow copper]

Stalker 2 is on ps5

[robust pendant]

No idea, but it will happen

Just dont buy it until it drops AND the hotfixes for it drop too

Because of course it will come with its own set of bugs

[shell oak]

[main jewel]

[elder glade]

Does anyone know when any DLCs might come out

That and when mods are coming to ps5

[burnt bridge]

Tomorrow

[elder glade]

Really?

W

[robust pendant]

No

No one knows neither of them

[elder glade]

I was just doing research

It said February so it could be tmr

[burnt bridge]

Me lie sorry 😞

[elder glade]

Its calm, either way its probably this month

[burnt bridge]

That would be awesome for you guys

[elder glade]

Yeah

[restive zinc]

Has any roadmap been announced at all for this year?

[robust pendant]

Nope

Its most likely just trying to achieve what hasn't been last year

[restive zinc]

ok, thanks

[marble gyro]

Came back from Dave and busters, drank 13 drinks no buzz

What did I miss?

[still current]

Nothing

[marble gyro]

Hmm

[untold timber]

Hi chat is this game deadge?

[cyan sparrow]

Thats a great question!

[proven hollow]

Thank you for asking this, so brave!

[marble gyro]

Who's chat?

[dusk cosmos]

Idk I just brought it

[still current]

Why would it be?

Game is constantly being updated and we'll be getting our first dlc this year

[proven hollow]

no, game is dead tbh, i've never seen anyone online, barely any matches

[nova quartz]

its worth playing IMO. the game isn't 110% but its still got 4 endings and roughly 100hrs each playthrough if you explore and enjoy the game

i love emission that tell you to take cover in a location that is not unlocked by a quest. like how do you not think this through devs?

[stuck grove]

better yet, why do I get stash icons in areas past POINT OF NO RETURN, c'mon

also why I get stash locations in Prypiat from IPSF dudes in Lesser Zone??

[wicked magnet]

Maybe there will be a DLC announcement at State of Play...

[proven hollow]

there'll be nothing, mol1t has abandoned us

[nova quartz]

better question why are there legendary weapons in the PONR?

[stable warren]

how do ire read flash drives in shadow of chornobyl? stupid question mb but i lowk forgo

[copper radish]

Wdym re-read?

[stark crescent]

anyone know if captain senkevych actually has a side mission for me or if its a bug he got a side mission marker?

[shell flax]

He does, might’ve bugged for you though

[stark crescent]

and stalkers blocking door access again...great...

[stark crescent]

ye, cause i got the quest marker, but no option to accept it

[modest notch]

Ran 1.2km to collect the suitcase

Ran 1.2km to return the suitcase

Peak game design

Enemies encountered

3

[stark crescent]

the suitcase. for sultan?

[modest notch]

Yea

[stark crescent]

should have been more enemies than that. 4 or 5 on the ship itself. 3-4 on hte docks.

oh wait

yea. no i remember. those on the docks usually walk into the whirlwind anomalies there XD

[copper radish]

It do be like that sometimes. I for one appreciate not being bothered every 10 steps of the way, which also happens on occasion.

I remember a walk from Volkhov SAM to Rostok, what's that, some 500-600 meters? I was attacked 3 times, twice by ward/mercs and once by mutants

[stark crescent]

You got both ward and mercs on ur tail? Yea, its gonna be a problem going around rostok then

[feral sigil]

Hello

[robust pendant]

There aren't really flash drives per se, but open your pda and read the entries on diary/enciclopedia

[copper radish]

not really, I think it's mostly ward, I just can't tell the cúnts apart 🤣

all I see is "soldier in stronk armor"

"needs shooting"

I am aware that there are differences in armor color, but who can pay attention to that in the heat of the moment?

[golden steppe]

hello, no GOG sale? 🙁

[cyan sparrow]

Wait, sales mean some update ahead?

@dreamy dagger wake up, somthing going on

and btw it's already afternoon

[serene barn]

i don't think a sale necessarily mean anything regarding updates.

[oblique igloo]

hy guys It's about time they said something. It seems to have disappeared after the holidays. I understand the DLC and everything, but the game needs to be fixed given the annoying bugs that are there.

[violet dune]

good, enough of those joke "major" patches every month which brings nothing, lets wait for actual major patch

[harsh jungle]

tomorrow

[cobalt fiber]

There’s not gonna be an update this/next week put it that way

[hybrid tangle]

STALKER 2 actually sucks without Hardware Ray Tracing.

I have to like, use PRZ 2.0 + Modded Ray Reconstruction to make game look better.

[modest notch]

Is there a worst anomaly than flashbang?

Just teleported to swamps and it sux

[dusky pawn]

I dislike whirlgigs more

They oneshot you on master and can be basically invisible in daylight

[marble gyro]

Morning

[river chasm]

once you learn the technique to avoid the bog poppers they are ez

[marble gyro]

Skill issue, use your bolts and ears

[dusky pawn]

They arent loud either so idk what you mean there

If im running i wont have time to stop because i heard a faint whoosh

[marble gyro]

That annoying beeping sound, means anomaly, use your bolts and start tossing

[dusky pawn]

Ohh you mean that yeah nah that doesnt help either

I mean sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt

Depends if its just two of these or if its part of a larger field

Or if its something cursed like that plain near the cordon tunnel

Idk why but they are really hard to see there

[marble gyro]

Crazy man, I've never ran into one once at all, every time I see leaves that are swirling around, I just out of instinct Toss my bolts

[dusky pawn]

They swirl on and off

[marble gyro]

Even while sprinting, that beeping sound goes crazy, use your bolts

[dusky pawn]

I dont die to them when I could throw bolts I die to them when running between places if its a spot im not aware of (some are more obvious)

[dusky pawn]

It goes crazy when im about 0.5s from death lmao

And if I already hear and see it then bolts arent necessary

[marble gyro]

They are because it temporarily disables anomalies

Grants safe passage to run through

[dusky pawn]

If you press r you reload yes I know dude it doesnt matter i can walk around

I dont have a problem avoiding them when im aware of them i just dont always know they're there and since they are small their hitbox isnt clear at all and they glow on and off (faintly too) i sometimes dive into them and insta die

[marble gyro]

Ah, it's your bright monitor then, usd your bolts

[dusky pawn]

Ok man you dont get my point its ok

Agree to disagree and move on

[marble gyro]

Agree, use your bolts

[dusky pawn]

Im unable to use bolts while sprinting with my weapon out so no and it wouldnt resolve or help my issue

[marble gyro]

Weapon away, bolts out

[dusky pawn]

And i dont have a good pistol yet before you say that

Yeah no i prefer not being ambushed over a small chance of getting spun

And there isnt anything else to add to this besides bolts again would not help

[marble gyro]

Also skifs pistol is extremely good, like better than the UDP

[copper radish]

swirling leaves don't always mean whirligig, but whirligig always has swirling leaves;
also every single one triggers the beeping sound and from the beep frequency changes you can guess in a split second if you're getting closer to it or further from it;
very difficult to run into one even when sprinting, I only get caught sometimes when I back into one during a firefight

[dusky pawn]

I know swirls are also just ambient

[copper radish]

the only anomaly that doesn't trigger the beep is the glass shards, which is kinda annoying tbh

[dusky pawn]

That doesnt insta kill like ever tho

Idk its silly to me the giant bubble of death doesnt instakill but whirls do

[marble gyro]

Well, you are being brought into the air, and ripped apart at a molecular level

[copper radish]

also I'm very curious about the soap bubble kind of things, how do you get caught by one?

I'll make a save and try running into one

[stark marsh]

Yall

Can help me find a strelok edit i saw on the server?

[dusky pawn]

The floating ones ? Its hard to get caught but they can almost instakill on master lol

[stark marsh]

[dusky pawn]

Depends on chem prot

[marble gyro]

Not if you have good armor

[dusky pawn]

Yeah I just said that

[marble gyro]

Low grade armor, you'll get one shotted on master

Not chemical protection, it's base physical

[dusky pawn]

Lmao what really ?

The moving ones in chem anomalies are phys ? Whyyy

[marble gyro]

I tested out the values of chemical and physical and turns out chemical protection is kinda bugged atm as physical negates pretty much anything

[dusky pawn]

Bruh

This some CS accuracy coding levels of spaghetti

[hardy totem]

Feel free to describe it, maybe it'll ring a bell

[marble gyro]

At least In CS chem protection is Chem protection

[iron wind]

bro GSC so desperate with putting the game on sale every 2 weeks holy

[modest notch]

Which armour can have container to negate artifact rad

[iron wind]

it is visually indicated in the UI if you have any

if you can't see the difference, probably you need to install one

[spring acorn]

Its almost always on sale now

[winter warren]

hey man I aint complaining

[iron wind]

I mean you can buy the game only once lol

[winter warren]

i aint got it yet

[iron wind]

then what are you doing in S2 chat lol

catching spoilers?

[winter warren]

i have no idea

[iron wind]

me neither dude

go buy it now

[sharp sierra]

So is the art book that's for sale the same digital 1 you get in the enhanced edition?

[iron wind]

yeah, end of Dec game sale, then mid-Jan upgrade edition sale, then now early Feb sale again

[main jewel]

roar

[main jewel]

the digital art book has way less pages

which kinda makes me mad

[marble gyro]

Bro ikr? It's not like the war is depleting their funds or anything

[iron wind]

release the DLC preorder

that will get funds flowing

[marble gyro]

Cost money to put that out

Everything costs money, from developing to marketing

[sharp sierra]

Yeah thought it was small I had the old SoC book that was surprisingly thick

[sudden rapids]

According to Steam ToS they have to give a release timeframe if they offer preorder. So they won't do it

[iron wind]

From the leaks and december teaser you would think that its coming this year for sure

[marble gyro]

I would prefer fixes over dlc first, at least we have a template or an idea for dlc, but fixes are needed atm, also we pretty much already got a dlc technically, free one, the untold stories whis is pretty much an expansion itself

[loud edge]

Hello

[sudden rapids]

Howdy

[formal lichen]

morning stalkers

[burnt bridge]

Engine update along with fixes 👌🏼

[stark crescent]

wolf girl

[carmine star]

Need a gofund me so we can get the first dlc

[ruby gale]

Never

[carmine star]

Going to go panhandle today

[ruby gale]

See you in never

[marble gyro]

Was going to get up and make a burger

But now I'm thinking of not eating and just waiting for lunch

[marble onyx]

hey guys, there was a mod thats outdated now, that was "new game+" that had 100k + all items in chest in first starting area, is there anything like that that is for current version please?

since i finished a game once i would love to get chill playthru without looking for everything again

[sudden rapids]

i dunno. better ask that in https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1387353128268988519

[marble onyx]

oh i missed mod tab, sorry ...

[stark marsh]

It was about strelok, Made of only his SoC cutscene
Like him showing off to doc an artifact
It has a vibing song but i don't remember well

It was a kind of electro, but not phonk or crap like that

[hardy totem]

Can't help you there I'm afraid

[marble gyro]

Out of all my knowledge, that is one of them that's out of reach, can't help there either unfortunately, ask Lexa maybe she'll know

[iron wind]

fixes dont bring cash tho

[marble gyro]

.......

[iron wind]

if they are starved for mula atm, dlc pre-order would be ideal

[marble gyro]

When a consumer buys something, they expect it to be complete regardless if it has more content than what it already has, for a price point the game itself is long af, what 40hrs main story plus extras? And also it has like a sandbox feel to it because of endless exploration

Thays honestly quite enough for a launch game, people are waiting for the magic term of "Game is fixed, before buy"

[iron wind]

bro noone owns u anything lol, especially in games nowadays, devs backtrack and cancel stuff all the time

[iron wind]

in the most immediate sense

[copper radish]

that's correct but it doesn't make it right, unfortunately

[marble gyro]

I wasn't....talking about that but okay?

[ruby gale]

There's better ways, like patreon and shit

I dont really care either way because ive moved on to other games until something happens so

[marble gyro]

Fr, I went back to oblivion so I can take a break off stalker, I'll do another playthrough once another update happens, I don't want to burn myself out completely to where playing the game will feel like a chore

[ruby gale]

Im just playing DL the beast and motorfest

[marble gyro]

Damn, thought you said Motorstorm

I was about to get excited

Motorstorm Pacific Rift was a damn good game

[copper radish]

Motorstorm Pacific Rim
I'd play that

"Race your Jaeger against the others while avoiding the Kaijus

[ruby gale]

Nope, motorfest, they released the Ford GR-1 concept car recently based off the old Shelby daytona

Thing is pretty good looking other then the front bumper/headlights being a bit odd

[marble gyro]

Wouldn't that be the same concept as Motorstorm Apocalypse, just instead of world ending events it's kaijus?

[proven hollow]

i demand a patch now or i'm ruining mol1ts vacation!

[marble gyro]

Ohhhhhh The Crew

I was never a big fan of The crew

[ruby gale]

Mechanic so, kinda my thing

[marble gyro]

Gotcha gotcha, I was more into Assetto corsa and Forza

[marble gyro]

No one's on vacation right now, from a recent update, they are hard at work on patch 1.9

By the way things are going we might just get straight into 2.0, probably around I would say April the earliest

[iron wind]

you know the phrase: "your expectations, your problems"

[carmine star]

Have a coke pepsi

[ruby gale]

Assetto is more of a pc thing and forza is just kinda bland

[marble gyro]

Well horizon 5, i have my buddies from UTI I run with

It's fun with friends, and assetto I help my friend with his youtuube channel, he does the driving I do the narration

[marble gyro]

And also I like to drive around tokoyo streets in assetto in a WRX STI

So I have my bit of fun as well

[ruby gale]

I just like motorfest for the customization/sounds

Probably the best looking/sounding cars ever with a nice bit of body options and 1 off vehicles

Like the ST2 632 camaro from hoonigan or kens hoonicorn itself in the drift category

[marble gyro]

Yeah, they do have nice builds

[ruby gale]

The only issue i have with motorfest is the handling is a hit squirrelly sometimes or it just doesn't want to loosen up at all

Which granted just takes a bit of time pissing with advanced tuning at max performance power

[marble gyro]

Yeah motorfest has some really tight controls like stiff, or too loose, there is no in between even with a Logitech steering wheel

Game was free on ps plus a while back

[ruby gale]

[umbral mantle]

[umbral mantle]

Motorfest felt like it tried too hard to be Forza Horizon, which is why I like The Crew 2 more

[ruby gale]

Idk, the crew 2 actually wasnt my favorite but it was still ok

Still prefer the first crew game, had great handling and was actually fun to drive in

Map was perfectly made too, felt more alive compared to 2

[solemn ibex]

Hello

update hwen?

[smoky hawk]

The Crew is like the most milque toast corny thing I could ever try

I couldnt stand to even finish the tutorial

trash

[sudden rapids]

Ubislop

Can't believe Ubisoft made games like XIII back then

[cobalt fiber]

I miss the old school splinter cells

[sudden rapids]

same

last Ubi game I honestly enjoyed was Watch Dogs 2

[cobalt fiber]

Like back in the day ubi was pretty sick

The earlier ghost recon games were solid too

Advanced soldier I think it was called?

That was good shit

[sudden rapids]

Advanced Warfighter yea that was fine shi

[cobalt fiber]

I was mixed on WD2

I missed the grittiness of the first

But the world was great

[ruby gale]

I dont even think I finished wd2, and ubisoft was better when it was uplay days

Like black flag

And fc 3/4

[ruby gale]

Yeah the stories/characters are a bit much

[smoky hawk]

the presentation, dialogue, premise, and gameplay are so boring, Id rather go play ACR

[cobalt fiber]

The old rainbow six games were good too

It’s just a huge fall from grace what we see from Ubi now

[ruby gale]

I still have the first division installed

[cobalt fiber]

Cos their older stuff genuinely were bangers

Man I sweated the division so much lmao

[ruby gale]

They are really milking 2 though

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah I was mixed on 2

It did still have a fun factor to it though

Nothing extraordinary but fun to fuck around with friends

[ruby gale]

ACR?

[cobalt fiber]

It’s the age old quality vs quantity though

I could look past all their mtx bullshit if their games were actually worth the time

[smoky hawk]

Assetto Corsa Rally, literally just 3 maps rn, but more fun

[ruby gale]

I figured it was assetto, didnt know they made a rally

[smoky hawk]

dont buy it yet, its so so early access it hurts

[cobalt fiber]

Like micro transactions really never bothered me so long as it wasn’t a case of turning something p2w cos you’re not forced to pay shit

But the quality just isn’t there anymore

[ruby gale]

That would explain it

[ruby gale]

Because companies dont really have to try anymore, someone will always buy it

[cobalt fiber]

Tbh I blame the consumer to an extent

Big open worlds became customary

Multiplayer games were ruined by the streaming community too

[tall hawk]

if/when I make a multiplayer game I will make it a point to never listen to any streamer about "balance changes"

[cobalt fiber]

One good relatively recent franchise I enjoyed was plague tale

[copper radish]

yep and unfortunately streamer will declare your game is sh!t, and their 5.3 million followers will take it as gospel and won't even try it 🙁 it's a sad fckin world we live in

[cobalt fiber]

A dev that doesn’t care about over saturating a game with some shitty open world full of filler content

[marble gyro]

Underrated game

[cobalt fiber]

I didn’t actually play innocence first either

But both were great

[tall hawk]

Honestly, if you rely on streamers to relay all your opinions on games then you weren't gonna buy anything other than COD/Madden/whatever big AAA slop

[cobalt fiber]

They’re making a new one too

[copper radish]

I own both on GOG but haven't played either yet, which one should I start with?

[cobalt fiber]

Innocence is the first and will help you understand the characters etc

So start with that

[smoky hawk]

they nailed down the driving and the feel of the tracks but its literally like, 3 tracks, all with diff conditions, not even variations, 9 cars
theyre adding more but damn man

[tall hawk]

Very Positive Steam reviews, rave critic reviews, and millions of copies sold
"underrated"

[cobalt fiber]

Requiem is a masterpiece imo

[smoky hawk]

not gonna lie

plague tale looks like shit

hold a button and game completes itself, Sony style

[cobalt fiber]

At first look it doesn’t look as good as it is

[copper radish]

I don't, idgaf about any streamer when making decisions lol, but their 5.3 million followers will

[cobalt fiber]

But it genuinely is good

[smoky hawk]

why

[tall hawk]

another third person story game with token stealth elements and a random gimmick for all the E3 trailers

[cobalt fiber]

Fun mechanics and a good story

I don’t like god of war etc

Last of us was mid

But I enjoyed plague tale a lot

[tall hawk]

Like I said, those followers weren't gonna buy the game anyways

[smoky hawk]

your comparison to them makes me feel like Plague Tale is like those 2 tho

[marble gyro]

not talked about
won a couple awards
left everyone's mind and was overshadowed by another gane to where everyone forgot plague tale existed

[tall hawk]

like, someone who watches Asmongold or Xqc isn't buying any good games

[smoky hawk]

and that I was right

[cobalt fiber]

Nah it’s cos you said the typical ps5 type that I mentioned them

It’s obviously a story game so you get the usual segments that are a bit slower

But it is generally well done

[smoky hawk]

you didnt deny the association

[cobalt fiber]

The association is def there for last of us

Can’t deny that

[marble gyro]

Overrated game

[smoky hawk]

automatically sucks

[cobalt fiber]

The first one was ok but not as good as made out

2 was poor

[tall hawk]

I have a simple rule when playing a new game

[marble gyro]

2 was badly paced

[cobalt fiber]

The AI got so hyped up for 2

[tall hawk]

if there is a segment where I have to slowly trail behind an NPC while they spout exposition at me for more than a minute I instantly turn the game off, uninstall, and refund

[cobalt fiber]

Well I’m a movie fan so I enjoy the odd linear story game

So that isn’t an issue for me

[smoky hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/its-grim-its-peak-its-mid-old-man-it's-sunday-gif-8453053925671532900

[cobalt fiber]

Probably why I enjoy metal gear so much

[marble gyro]

Yeah, bad guy explain plots and exposition and his master plan, is just storytelling 101

[cobalt fiber]

I mean the whole “don’t like trailing an NPC” could go for most single player games too

[ruby gale]

I would forever love a new midnight club game

[copper radish]

except when it's Ozymandias 🤣

[marble gyro]

Snake hears an hr speech from ocelot just to get his ass handed to him by the EZ gun in 3

[smoky hawk]

nha theyd find a way to ruin it

mark my words

[ruby gale]

I know, ill stick to 3 and los angeles

[marble gyro]

I want another NFS game like most wanted

[cobalt fiber]

Wasn’t Dan Houser meant to be working on a new IP under his new company

[ruby gale]

After unbound? I'd be surprised

[marble gyro]

HEAT was close to that but felt extremely empty

[smoky hawk]

looking at the 2 newest NFS games, not going to happen, even if the studio alligned with some INCREDIBLE sheer luck and they were allowed to do illegal street racing again and be the bad guys

it would still be steeped in modern car culture

which is pretty diff from like, most wanted

[marble gyro]

Yo....remaster Underground 2

[ruby gale]

The cops were AWFUL in unbound, made story unbearable, which was stupid how they made story mode anyway

[marble gyro]

Add multiplayer, and the money is there trust

[tall hawk]

forza horizon is all the open world racing I need

[lilac forum]

imagine we had a fallout styled music system you could play on your pad

[ruby gale]

I like forza, but it is the epitome of bland racing game

[marble gyro]

Fun with a crew tho

[ruby gale]

Colorado and motorsport 4 were as good as it got for me

[cobalt fiber]

Gonna be honest I think forza is massively overrated

[lilac forum]

cant wait for fallout season 3 to take place in Colorado

[cobalt fiber]

Well

The whole thing won’t be

Only Coop is going to colorado

[marble gyro]

76 in Colorado I'll bet you anything

[lilac forum]

i believe they will make a reason for lucy to head to colorado because that makes more sense tbh. or at the very least theyll all be together at the end kinda like the ending of season 2

[marble gyro]

Todd will come up with some crazy shit like that

[ruby gale]

It kinda is, and I use to play back in the 360 days on horizon 1 and motorsport 4 up to the most recents

[cobalt fiber]

Honestly I think she’ll stay because there’s still shit to finish telling in NV

A lot actually

[lilac forum]

forza 5 is where it was the worst. forza 6 betrter be good

[tall hawk]

fallout 76 is not real

[cobalt fiber]

A friend pointed something out earlier to me too

[lilac forum]

i havnt played 76 yet but ive oughta by season 3

[smoky hawk]

thjat would suck

[cobalt fiber]

Yes Man ending - Yes Man integrates and falls at what was Houses terminal

[lilac forum]

itd just kinda be nice to have some music

[cobalt fiber]

And in the series there’s a single securitron there

[marble gyro]

Yes it is, as bad as it is, stop hating, plus, it's actually kinda good now, with all the updates, it shaped up to be a better fallout game than 4

[lilac forum]

yes man was always my opp. i personaly sided with house and listend to big iron while finishing the brother hood </3

[smoky hawk]

no

[smoky hawk]

the opinion that having a radio strapped to your PDA is not bait, I genuinely would not like this for Stalker

[carmine star]

Outa my way Proflegate

[shell flax]

With you I can never tell I won’t lie

[robust pendant]

The day you realise he never has baited....

[marble gyro]

Would kill the vibe of the atmosphere if we have "I have spurs that jingle jangle jingle" playing 24/7

[sudden rapids]

Everyone should enjoy the game exactly like I do😡

[smoky hawk]

gordon, you will never know if what I served you at our date yesterday was bait or real chum...

[robust pendant]

Then add proper music, idk

[marble gyro]

Hard bass especially

[robust pendant]

Or just guitar tunes that the same game has, even music from older games

[marble gyro]

We have our own guitar to do that anywhere

[robust pendant]

You have to stop to do that

Thats the point of the pda doing it, so you don't

[marble gyro]

Nah, then I wouldn't hear the "BEEP BEEP BEEP" sound when I get too close to an anomaly

[robust pendant]

Are anomalies in S2 that hard to see? Genuinely don't know as I dont play the game

[marble gyro]

Or Bloodsucker breaths

[robust pendant]

I know that there is one that is troublesome, but idk

[marble gyro]

YOU DONT PLAY?????

[robust pendant]

I've played the trilogy only

[sudden rapids]

yes (but I don't see good either=

[robust pendant]

Astigmatism gang rise up

[ruby gale]

Not really, pretty easy to spot them, radius is a bit annoying sometimes

[smoky hawk]

depends on the anomalies but some of them are real sneaky, others are very hard because of blur
in S2 there are anomalies randomnly outside of anomaly fields, sprinkled just in beetween areas

so you need to stay at attention

[robust pendant]

🤔

[marble gyro]

Also S2 has ambient and combat music

[ruby gale]

Which i turn off

[marble gyro]

Blasphemy

[shell flax]

Some random anomalies also now change after each emission

[carmine star]

S2 ambient is nice

[smoky hawk]

yhea, their position is random

[shell flax]

So an electro might turn into a grav, it keeps you on your toes

Electros are also closer to landmines then simple shock, they can & will obliterate you on higher difficulties

[marble gyro]

Wait anomalies change?

[shell flax]

Yep, check the chem field at Rostoks entrance near the barricade after each anomaly

[marble gyro]

I haven't seen that happen to me yet, as emissions don't usually happen as much

[copper radish]

is it true that emissions "refill" the artifacts in anomalies?

[marble gyro]

Yup

[copper radish]

or artifact drop is random?

[marble gyro]

Emissions respawn artifacts

[copper radish]

nice, thanks

[marble gyro]

Just not like in COP where it was like 3 or 4 artifacts in each anomaly field

It should be that tho, since the economy sucks in S2

[lilac forum]

hey greg.

[marble gyro]

Sushi time

[dusky pawn]

I wonders if ukrainians are even into that rn

Id wager the default popular music among thugs rn is just rap/hip hop there like everywhere else

[dusky pawn]

I think tier 2 upgrades should be cheaper

You can blow like 50k+ on a mid gun if it has a lot of upgrades and thats a ton of money for a gun you will get rid of it incentivises just rushing a dnipro or kharod

What's the best STALKER game to start with ?

[smoky hawk]

Shadow of chernobyl if you want to look at the originals, Stalker 2 if you dont wanna play a game from 2007

[somber hemlock]

Is the gameplay similar to STALKER 2 ?

[smoky hawk]

yhea
it has a lot more rough edges but the balancing and atmosphere is better and there are less issues with it

[somber hemlock]

thx bro

[marble gyro]

Clear sky

Shadow of chernobyl for Story, Clear sky if you want a chaotic faction experience

[robust pendant]

The best way to start is where all started, shadow of chernobyl

If you want to start, start where the company decided to start it

[smoky hawk]

Clear Sky relies on Story and Gameplay Info and Habits you build from playing SOC

its better to start where it all began, the first game, SOC\

[robust pendant]

Idk why I said clear sky lol, edited it

[dusky pawn]

yeah dont start with cs

[still current]

Because its Peak sky even with all the bugs

[robust pendant]

But dont start with it 😭 play it after soc

[still current]

Well, the og way to play is starting with SoC, but it's also fine to start with CS too

[iron wind]

CS actually has an awful start pace

especially if you are playing on the difficulty above "stalker"

[robust pendant]

Idk why would you start above stalker tho

Like, no, its your first time, dont lol

But idk, I liked the pace

[ruby gale]

[dusky pawn]

i played cs as my first and uhh

it was interesting but i soc felt so weird afterwards

[hoary crest]

Well Stalkers, its time for another permadeath start in Pripyat... wish me luck

[harsh jungle]

I gotta start the scarf for my stuffed shark

[mystic egret]

i cant believe it man

ive been playing stalker 2 right after release and the game feels just the same

still lack of guns, still guns have absolutely crap balancing.. what in the world

[marble carbon]

stalker has great guns

[cyan sparrow]

I honestly shelved the game, and exploring other great titles.

I failed this, even though I'm absolutely positive nobody noticed me

How does one bring themselves to sell the massive hoard of consumables when you've spent your entire gamer life hoarding that stuff all because "You never know, man." 😭

[ruby gale]

Because i dont need 1,800 bandages

[cinder mural]

Everyone needs 1,800 bandages

[kindred fable]

Usually I just understand that none of the big AAA games are hard enough for you to actually hoard anything and it's more fun to use the best stuff right away (or to sell the useless stuff). Otherwise people wouldn't like it. You are not playing Fear and Hunger to worry about resources...

[vagrant pewter]

only 1800? You have been Slack in ur hoarding! I had 1800 by time I was leaving Clear Sky

[ruby gale]

No, ive been selling

I dont even know how much it'd be all added up

[vagrant pewter]

i cant stand over 50 of them - they take too long to sell off otherwise

[copper radish]

I just sold about 57 thousand worth of mutant parts to Birch because I had it with the bjtch in malachite... was hoarding them for a while but it's never enough for her special orders
