obv i know
İm broke
what do you know
i am john stalker after all
Son i sold 3 gpu
read ask gsc
Now rebuying
why are you rebuying ass
idc tho it's 1.9
but momletty said gsc said its not
You can run it, but enjoying it is a different story
İ once test the stalker 2with gtx 1660 super on high settings its 40 fps
and since when is GSC running the show?!
what have those GSC guys ever done? I'm launching a popular revolt
Also my game crashing while im trying to play with 4 or 5 mods
i'm freeing stalker 2 development from the bourgeoisie and liberating it to the masses
since i got my eyeballs pierced
you're an egg you don't have eyeballs
sorry buddy we are the [Redacted] oppressing people is out job
well stop it
This proves we don't need raytracing...
Bloody hell- when an Emission hits wtf to do if you’ve got a full backpack?
Drop everything? Is there a quick release or anything for the whole pack?
silence chud take your dlss 5 ai slop and be happy
No, there's no mechanic like that
So drop individual items etc to lose weight?
Basically, yeah. Then you can come back and pick it up later
But, to be fair, I've never had a situation when I couldn't reach a shelter even when I was overloaded
Someone should do a Quick Release mod maybe? There’s one for Gamma and it works really well.
you have so much time to get to cover
I bet them modders will do something like that in the future, yea
Just had the FIRST emission and I was funked because of weight and distance lol
I noticed in Lesser Zone only ONE Shelter was marked on the map! Luckily I remembered a random cave somewhere.
There are many shelters, not just one. It's just that the quest for hiding in the shelter only chooses one of them
I also never knee it had to be a substantial building- I was hiding in a wooden house and got cooked a few times before I realised what was going on lol.
You’d think it makes more sense for the Map to pick the closest Shelter? Mine didn’t?
Maybe they forgot to mark some possible spots or maybe it's a part of the design and they didn't want you to run to that one spot because it might be a random encounter spot or some quest location, etc. Who knows...
But yeah, logically it should mark the closest shelter
Yeah- it picked the main on in Zalyrissa (name?) so I thought it only shows “official designated” ones maybe? I used my memory for the cabe and got lucky.
Reading #📜┃ask-gsc , modding’s safe for a couple more months?
Good question, as new engine coming means new f*ckups coming
I was about to start modding my Stalker 2 on my xbox (I want to use the AEK-971/Kord 6P67)
And noticed the update talks
Damn I want badly that weapon using the 7.39x39 unused ammo
Good thing it can use 545x39 (I fully embraced the round after converting my Kharod to it).
But IMHO I hope we see a weapons and armor rework
Like the upgrade system revamped
Kinda want to see armors etched with artifacts or guns too
And make the damn guns actually being affected by upgrades more reliable than 1 single wear and tear upgrade
Like changing the barrel not only changes the firepower but also increases reliability of the weapon itself
The first emission and the shelter for it are scripted
After that it’ll mark the closest one
Ah cool cheers..!!!! I might’ve missed something then as I was way too far away from Zaylrissa to make it in time. Thanks for the heads up anyway!

Gsc please add MTX and Ubisoft elements like a person that chats in your ear 24/7 while getting cut off constantly by conversations in game
I want my Modern game to be extra modern
Is there any money glitches? Or duplication?
while making quirk chungus comments as you play like borderlands
Only on pc
stalkers, on master playthrough here. About to do the beard vs sultan task. Any special prizes in siding with the kalyna treacherous woman? Got curious.
What if I use a mouse?
Pretty sure they've patched everything at this point
Starfield sucks
It does, but I NEED ANOTHER BETHESDA GAME
I tried giving it a chance for the longest time but its just so boring
I even preordered it
Weapons suck, progression sucks, story sucks, ng+ sucks, mods are dead because they wont add custom animation support
the only person on the planet who this mind [redacted]
Tbf, all weapons in Bethesda games suck
Except morrowind
Morrowind is unmatched
New Vegas weapons are good but thats because obsidian
Well yeah, obsidian knows how guns work
Fallout 3 wasn't bad either
Oh absolutely not
seen people coping like oh like some of the guys are still there
oh yah like 3 guys are still there

Just like rockstar isnt the old rockstar anymore imo
oh yah
thats why im not at all hyped for GTA6
not only do i frankly not care but i think the odds it lives up to the hype is just impossible
they did pretty good job with rdr2 imo
Until online killed it
like when people thought stalker 2 would be a certified hood classic just cus the same studio made it
Rdr2 online is dogshit and I'll die on that hill
I do like outer worlds 2
i never played, rdronline or gta online. i treat those games pure single player
Truth to that. Grind over anything else
gsc basically a totally different studio now and i mean there probably more functional with more integrity than modern obsidian
And a premium currency with gold
Technically I think you can get gold in online but its little to nothing compared to what you need
I kinda wanna try out outer worlds games simply because I've heard they allow you to make genocide runs, like fallout new vegas does
though the stalker 2 writing is a bit 
You can do genocide runs
And there is a perk and a flaw that extends on it
Which makes you have like a berserker passive
Amd have insane melee damage to non hostile people
It's a good perk, highly recommended
imbr outer worlds looks like low tier slop
wolf in sheeps clothing trying to claim it's just like new vegas
Outer worlds 1 definitely, but 2 has definitely improved on writing and gameplay
Its not terrible, but i haven't bothered playing it again in awhile
Damn the budget was 70 million buckaroos?
look bro fuck that shit go play indiana jones game instead
that game is actually good
I'm....playing KF3
Had to reinstall because I wanted to see the new update
They nerfed firebug and medic
Not happy
Man f*ck killing floor 3, that shit was such a disappointment
Also coming back to Starfield, why the decision for no dismemberment???
Blood splatters everywhere but no actual dismemberment??
Removed half the classes, 90% of the weapons, maps were boring, bosses are lame, you have to craft attachments for some reason now, and so many other stupid decisions
Crafting attachments I don't mind, BUT
I couldn't tell you, im sure its something stupid
Adding stats to them, is bullshit
Like wasting resources to reroll just to get a sub par attachment with a bad passive
Also medic in 3 is an ant compared to the god of 2
Is just door humping stupid
Well used to be an ant, now it's reduced to a fly
They reduced the healing speed
Thats why I'll always stick to 2, in my mind there is no 3
I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down honestly
All they had to do was follow the formula and stick to what they were doing, but they had to be "modern" and completely wiff it
indeed. All they had to do is make it scarier, as kfmod ut2004 still is to this day.
you know kf was born from a ut2004 mod right?
Wouldn't surprise me
It's more than payday 3
Id rather play pd3 than kf3
Pd3 at least made somewhat of a comeback and is still trying
like its still crazy to me that up until just a few years ago the idea of a big name game failing to this level was unheard of
Oh wow, you can use multiple Powers now instead of equipping 1 and waiting for a cool down now
In starfield
nms off the top of my head
?

Looks like there is seamless space travel now
Which should have been in there in the first place

Now, they have mass effect style ship hubs
remember bioware
Who doesn't
the fact bioware has not been shutter is mind blowing
sometimes I think if I'm getting too picky/old or if games are just getting worse in general. Strange feeling.
same tbh
Even the Metro series man. Metro 2033 and Last Light are so damn good. Exodus sucks, thats not a popular opinion but I think it sucks, for a metro game.
i mean tbh i do agree
i think the sam's story dlc is a lot better than the main game is
I was so disappointed with the game I did not even played the dlcs.
dlcs are a lot better
Sam one especially
nice, I may give them a short sometime. I purchased the complete edition, so I believe I have the, if they did not shake players for extra dosh
my favorite multi player shooter in modern history was battle bit
I feel like the type of shooter game i really want is just too niche to ever have mass market appeal though the devs botched the game completely so we may never know if the game would have lasted in the long run
nice
literally they just decided one day they were gonna do a sound update
and now its been almost 3 years since the last game update
as the sound updated morphed into a full game overhaul
that of course makes the game massively worse
from all we have gotten to see
damn
and games sucking is not a fps exclusivity, take a look at civilization. CIv 5 has more players than 6 and 7 to this day lol. Dudes made games for children, with discovery kid's color palette
once cid stopped being involved it all fell apart
totally
No man's sky of the top off my head
oh right but to be fair they did massively turn that game around
oh, another game sucking: fallout, FONV/FO3 can take FO4 at anytime.
FO4 is ... strange.
Fallout 4 should have been what 76 was, actual POIs, bigger weapon variety, more diverse abilities and customs
76 by all means is not a good game at all
But the ideas of it, should have been in a base fallout game
Like throw away the card perks, and switch it back to perks varying on what Starting S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats you choose
right! simple yet effective, Totally agree
Right
someone needs to 'make games great again'
Like next fallout, needs actual choices based on you stats, NO VOICE ACTING FOR MAIN CHARACTERS
god damn right, the voice action is very annoying!!!
Or at least.....give them the feeling of THERE IS CHOICE instead of "Oh yeah that could work, but do this instead"
haha they just put them in a cross make, north, south, east and west. "Innovation"
"so cool"
Like every choice you make in FO4 is like non existent and always on a line leading to a outcome you don't want because game is forcing you to go to
Speaking of which imma play some FO4 right now
Until starfield comes out
with mods it can get decent. I saw some very interesting modpacks in VOrtex
even some that converts to stalker/metro/fonv etc
Ngl, what I like about the whole update that is coming, is seamless space traveling from world to world in a star system
nice
And the fact you can FINALLY USE MULTIPLE POWERS
Instead of just 1 like a discount Shout from skyrim
Oh and they are changing the way NG+ is
You'll be able to keep all your gear now
Because old NG+ you just lose everything and get a shitty suit
Which may or may not have the passive buff you want
Like the suits the NG+ are literally those freaking orbs you get from oblivion that add Like a buff to your gear for enchanting
cant really comment on this game, haven't played it/watched it etc. Such is married life. Choosing a few games.
Oh nice
Im not married yet, I just work a lot and save a lot
Dunno if I'll ever get married tbh
u play smart that good
I def won’t get married tbh
Wait, is that what they are planning to implement?
I can link you the vid
Yea, give me that
Sent
#⭐┃trilogy-general try there
I didn't noticed that channel sorry
Just checked it. I thought they made it like NMS, with the ability for seamless landing on them planets, seamless traversal on the planet itself, etc. I mean, it's good that you can fly between the planets at least
Well thats virtually impossible
What you mean? NMS did that, didn't it?
Seamless landing would mean ALL assets that you dropped on a planet would stay there and not Despawn like nms unless it's in a container
Strike that reverse it
Bethesda has like a memory placement thing in all their games
That everything would have to load in at once
Whether it would be as small as a plant
It has to be loaded in the exact same spot you dropped it at
In NMS whatever is on the ground that is not In a container, despawns completely to keep the game from overloading
Thats why Bethesda has loading screens from planet landing and taking off because it's loading a lot of data
If Bethesda did not have that memory placement thing, it would have seamless travel
Now since starfield boasts to have over 1000 planets
I'd happily trade the ability to traverse the planets seamlessly over the ability to not despawn that one item I dropped in some random POI, tbh. It's a nobrainer for me
And each planet has like a dungeon style memory thing, imagine all that loading in at once, it would overclock majority of the computers now and you need a minimum of a 4090 to have a stable time
Like, just don't do that, lol
Daggerfall already exists, just do it again but cooler
Wouldn't be a Bethesda game if they took out what they advertised
They advertised you could for example, fill your ship with cheese wheels
Which you can
And it will stay there, destroying frames when you load into your ship
And possibly crashing your game
Plus they also have random events happening all the time on a variable counter for each time you load into a new area
NMS has that also but limited
It's amazing that they are even putting seamless travel from planet to planet in a star system now
With Randomized events varying from lore to exploration and combat
Now imagine that loading up on ALL their star systems which each one is randomly generated
That would melt CPUs
If it wasn't for their memory placement, they would be like NMS, but each planet on NMS aside from like having some aliens on it or life and the occasional loot chests here and there, is pretty much it until you build something else to make the planet seem unique
Like I don't remember NMS having caves you can explore, with like different wall layouts that are RNG
How do we know there aren't other zone's all over the World in stalker?
Because it's not a apocalypse
Not all over as in the entire surface of the planet, just other small zones in other places
Maybe better Cordoned/ walled off by more competent government's
Because they don't exist 
😢
You saw the wall
You saw skifs apartment he was outside the zone
The zone is only near CNPP
I didn't play stalker 2, no moni
There can be other zone's in other countries
There's multiple zones in roadside picnic i think
I know the entire world isn't the zone
Not true, Bethesda lied all the time. One of my favorite lies is about dynamic economy in Skyrim and as an exemple Todd used mills that you can burn to affect the price of bread.
In any case, I don't care about the technical limitations of their engine. What you said is that it's virtually impossible to make seamless traversal and I disagree with that statement because there are more than one game that do it. They'd just have to make some kind of tradeoff, maybe it's even possible to do that without any tradeoffs – I don't know and it doesn't matter (I mean, games like minecraft exist just fine and these games can store info about billions of blocks and items in your world). Don't take it as an attack on starfield or even a personal attack, I didn't mean to get you into a defensive position. I'm not even a fan of NMS. All I said is that I expected more than traversal between planets in space (which is, basically, a fancy traversal between beautiful 3D interface elements where you choose what kind of 2x2km map would you like to generate next), that's all
I mean, there could be other zones but what's the cause of their existence? I highly doubt that Stalker universe has other zones like that one because the one we have has a very specific cause that is very local and there's 0 evidence, AFAIK, for other zones existence. That cause is very different from Roadside Picnic where the zones were ||created by aliens that were passing by and left a little bit of mess behind. That mess being zones themselves, yea||
Im not saying there should be multiple, just thinking about it
I mean, it would be cool, not gonna lie
I spose its abit like metro 2033, there are places outside of moscow all over the world but I don't really care, its just the metro which is cool to focus on
It would be cool to hear references of other zones, thats about it
Leaves room to speculate
Yeah, I agree, it would be cool (although many people really like that aspect of the Zone being a unique island in a random spot on our planet). Who knows, judging by what's going on in Stalker 2 we might get something like that in the future game in this universe, if it'll ever exist (which I doubt but who knows, anything is possible)
||Well isn’t that one of the mostly considered canon endings in stalker 2||
in STALKER, the Zone only exists because of what happened in Chernobyl, so there isn't another elsewhere in the world. Unlike in Roadside Picnic, where an extraterrestrial event created multiple Zones around the world
or in Metro where the world was affected by a nuclear war
I thought the zone came to be cuz the eggheads were messing around with the noosphere, it happened in cnpp area cuz that was an area they could do their experiments in peace
that isn't to say that in lore its possible the STALKER Zone doesn't influence other "zones", meaning total anarchy areas due to whatever reason.
thats right. but they only chose that place
Except not really since in metro it was only Moscow that was affected, and the war was still going on, they just fed lies to the public and Spartans to maintain control
the world was definitely affected
No the war did affect everywhere else
Not to the point of extinction
Thats what i said
oh
Plenty of other places
Here
but yeah a nuclear war to a scale where it isolates Moscow, would definitely affect the entire world
anyway
It might've been cool if metro was even bleaker
No mutants no animals but humans and some pigs in the metro
Only moscow has any people left and there really is no hope
i wish there was a bit more lore touching on outside the Zone in STALKER, because it's literally a big deal to the point where people come from all over the world to collect artifacts and sell them. there's a massive black market for weapons and artifacts that isnt really touched on
i guess, but thats the entire point of the twist in the series to show that it isn't
Yeah ik, just pondering
take it up with Mr Glukhovsky
Open world rpg metro would be so cool
eh metro as a game is about the linear story, so idk not really
a game inspired by that would be interesting though
I couldn't care less about artyom and anna, i only care about the metro, thats why i wont Play exodus
damn
Buuuuut you play as artyom in 2033 and last light???????
Like you as a player grow with him
I cant get attached to characters in anything, its hard to keep track of whos who ig
I see
I wonder with boost mode, if ill be able to run metro 2033 on switch 2 above 30fps?
?
Yeah, same with movies and tv, its only the setting/ world building i care for
inferior technology
I just buy consoles man, money is no option
I got mine like last week
good you'll replace your switch with it
It's okay, I don't like the way it feels
But it let's me play final fantasy 13 with no issues finally
Other than that, it's Decent
Also hell no, I Have over 400 games for that
That's like telling me to sell my purple game boy color because I have a SP
I have them because I like to collect
And occasionally play games on them
Switch 2 also got a boost mode that makes the console perform as if it was docked
It's pretty dope playing marvel ultimate alliance 3 above 40 frames
FINALLY Nintendo have released a Nintendo Switch 2 update that goes a significant way to improvoing the experience for those using older Switch 1 titles. Here is my initial testing so you can decide which games are most improved.... Let's find out! #Switch2 #Boost #Update #Analysis #comparison
Testing Xenoblade 1 2 and 3, The Witcher, The Oute...
Like check this out
This is how the switch 2 should have ran in the first place

im so sorry for you
stepped into the trap

Also
DAMN RIGHT IM BUYING STARFIELD
Again
I have like 2 copies
This is going to be the 3rd
To be fair, videogames is the cheapest hobby you can have. I doubt it comes close to many other things that people spend their money on. Some people just like the way switch feels, what can ya do...
What's MJ
Ah, I see...
What do you all think about GSC adding magazines into the game? Like how Anomaly have magazines?
Reading magazines?
I'm against it because I don't like the inventory management like that one. I think stalker should stay "gamey" in that aspect
I wouldn't mind seeing it as a mod tho
Oh gun mags
No
Inventory is cluttered as it is with all this loot
Don't need more extras
Boxes of ammo is just fine
Magazine management would be actual cancer
Slapped servomotor boosters in my exoskeleton then went around stabbing monolithians in the head with my knife for 1 shot kills. They all me the samurai
Almost as much cancer as Inventory management in a nioh game
Especially since this kind of management has never been a part of the franchise in any shape outside of mods, it would just be useless clutter
Wannabe tarkov
stalker has always been a casual shooter in a sense, so something like ammo management should remain very simple
the game isnt trying to be a simulator in that way
This is my biggest gripe, people want to add in these massive ‘hardcore’ features and point to Tarkov.
The biggest thing is Tarkov is built around those systems from the ground up, Stalker has always been an arcadey shooter. Not some hyper hardcore tac shooter.
If you want to mod them in that’s your prerogative, but those features genuinely have no place in vanilla
They want to add all these features and say "stalker 2 is bad without them"
Like I'm probably the minority here, when I say "I like to play games Vanilla as intended"
Which is why I never mod them
Hell even GAMMA disabled its magazine mod by default lmfao
Unless they are like needed to make the game function normally, then I'll mod an unofficial patch
To be fair, I look at mods like Anomaly and CotZ as their standalone experiences if you want some more stuff after playing the vanilla game
Also here’s another big thing with the mag management: Tarkov has skills you can level to mitigate the frustration, Stalker does not
So if you had to load a mag in the field guess what brother, you’re gonna wait it out 
That’s even worse
Tbh tarkov skills take ages to level anyway
Hell, DayZ durability makes Stalker gear look like it’s near indestructible
@rigid lion you a bot ?

Bag n tag
Its been a big while since last update, looking kinda dry
Patch next week??
At least F4 has infinite levels so you can correct it
It would be worse if it's the previous games
Make it next month
Make it next day
make it next minute
True, very true
Besides, F4's build paths are extremely restricted by SPECIAL
Why they made crits a VATS only thing, I'll never understand
No gun nut perk for me
Buuuuut I do have luck and idiot savant
Also mysterious stranger
Gun nut perk is nice, but not always necessary
Which btw....his revolver sucks
Depends on the weapon
I restrict myself to using a pipe pistol with 45 ammo
Ouch
Lol yeah
Based
Plus I have boiled leather armor
Oof
I go very basic on very hard
What level?
I'm level 30 atm
Wait the fusion cores?
What? How?
Well, technically the Chinese Grenade Launcher is better, but worse ammo economy
Honestly worse
Both damage-wise and ammo economy-wise
I use Zetan technology
Yeah BFG cells are expensive to craft
I'm gonna make a physical build next time and kill swan with the Zetan butt plug
I call it, the foreign penetrator

Kinky
I'm thinking of trying a Survival playthrough without any CC content, including the ones you automatically get now
It's gonna be wack, but w/e
It's janky as heck
And skyrim
Clearly patched on
Some of the mechanics are just wacky
Like getting sick
For example, sleeping in an existing house, think Sanctuary, counts as still being out in the open, thus increasing your chances of getting sick
So you'll have to make your own
And the higher it is from the ground, the better
And you need a light source as well
Wooden and metal walls matter too
It's just wack
Sounds Terrible
Is that why I was constantly getting sick. Jeez I thought the game was just glitching out.
Yeah, it's honestly kinda dumb
And if you get sick early game, good luck finding a doctor
Or getting Antibiotics
Yeah I ended up using that ghoul doctor Bethany early on. Problem is you soak up a few rads just by getting near her location.
Yeah kek
But it definitely forces you to do settlement building. If you've got everything set up, it's easier to do
I bet
Do you even have one?
krezzin relax i swear
Smh my head indeed
i'm shaking @dreamy dagger ass
Hello, Korshunov's Feet Massagist
You have just came out as gayer
Nothing against gays though, but this is gay
According to my tracking app my physical Stalker 2 items are closing in...wow, only 1,5 years after ordering 😄
Yep
And 1.5 more years for actual game update rather than 1 water droplet per day
If only I knew shit will be so slow I would have bought standard edition of the game and bought the DLC pass at a discount 2 years later
i would be surpised if the First DLC is released this year, not holding my breath tho
I'm not holding my balls even, to be honest
If there was any hype, its already been killed
No hype at all, None from the community and GSC, kinda werid
GSC and community for the past months. No facial expression even...
Stone cold faces, man....
I didn't expect this.....
They say go play the game... how do you play the game when they give you 0 incentive 😄
i stole your balls
And played basketball with?
you BULL-ying me in this case
Stop bully or I drop a brick on yo hed
Stop being silly for I do war crimes
Having a gamer moment
No problem, I got you, I'll be back in a year and a half with a solution..... maybe
Hecking o7
no you're much more fun alive
when they release the 1.9 update?
maybe end of the month, maybe april, nobody knows
damn that s bad
and the dlc and multiplayer maybe next year
Its not 1.9 anymore
DLC maybe, multi-player is probably in the bin
Hope they'll at least clarify what's taking up this much time. Unforseen issues are one thing but this is getting a bit silly
Discounts first, engine upgrade later
2027
2028
2028 hotfix for DLC from 2027
Stalker 2 Shadow of Engineupdate
Stalker 2 operation health
gta 6 or stalker 2 1.9 patch update which comes first?
i think dlc for gta 6
fisrt

Skyrim remake first
fallout new vegas remake
With a billion Todd level loads
Fallout newer Vegas
16 times the stalker
stalker 3 remaster remake sidrovich edition
i just want stalker 2 1.0 first
Amount of disappointed people here is insane
We will likely find out long before the unwashed masses

We all expected better....
Is it even worth trying to fight Scar atp dude
Testing for that update will probably go on for a while
I really hope that they actually take the time to fully iron out the issues
Why not just skip "1.9" and release a huge 2.0 instead?
Like genuinely cannot kill him
In retrospect this post is kinda funny
Wipe the slate clean and start over with stalker 2 1.0
Its not even called 1.9 anymore, check #📜┃ask-gsc
Truth be told I’m not sure why they are releasing updates at all anymore instead of just making a statement
They are likely making the update twice
Once for the new version of the game and again for the soon to be discontinued version
Seems wasteful imo
Yeah, get the updates canned, do the engine version transition, then follow with the patches
This is wrong, they know it but dunno why they dont admit it
Yea it's just not worth the hassle. We've waited so long now we can wait for at least the engine upgrade to drop until further updates
2.0 will probably big a big update. Like what Cyberpunk did with their 2.0. Let them cook folks.
Probably
agreed, you have more room for failure they way they're doing it now.
Indeed, indeep, indeep, indeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Cause I'm into deeep
2FPS PDA
Oh you like to explore deep, I see
Might dip in, yeah
Sooooo anyways
How do yall kill scar?
Run him over with your Zaporozhets (s)car
ive been stuck on him for months 😭

@tame walrus How are GSC picking beta testers? What background you must have?
Offer him a slice of salami for his toast
you must be able to relax and keep your mouth shut, which disqualifies you 
Love getting a regional ad first lol 🤣
I can keep my mouth shut
5 layers of duct tape
Yah it’s all based on the honor system after all

Which has worked so far
Steam account and a computer
Hell no. I got one but never invited!
That too
I also have a valve replacement in case
If you guys ever wonder why these updates usually come out totally broken on console
Now yah know why

I actually feel sorry for the testers, nda for hotfix. lol
but yeah, a lot of time is passing and we essentially know very little about any plans/state of progress, almost a quarter of 2026 is gone and the 2025 roadmap isn't even finished, with no indication of whether it ever willand no new roadmap
Coldest hotfix ever tbh
It’s not just a hot fix
Jesting around
As mol1t said it adds a quest
quest: shadow of bug
hotfix been in the oven for so long it's a coldfix at this point 
Hot fix is cancelled
wapoware
Wait for engine update
It’s my theory as to why they don’t fix some of the long standing bugs
Hotfix stayed in the oven too long and burned to a crisp so they had to start over
It’s a waste of time
Canon event
Lmaoooooooo, gottem
No beta testers for the shitsoles
I bet shitsoles versions are also part of the slowdown process
I dont think gsc would do that tbh
They shouldn't have released this game on consoles, no point in that
yeah, but at the same time their priority doesn't seem to be the engine upgrade, 4 months of cooking and it comes down to new content
I may start to play Starfield, they getting the game fixed
DLC is cooking
Based. Starfield is a damn great game tbh
Apparently it’s full steam ahead on finishing the first dlc
And engine upgrade as they will almost certainly launch together
Honestly? It was shit on release, and afterwards I didn't touch it. However looking on latest events, I'm tempted to change my mind.
Firstly Crimson Desert +300h from tomorrow
I love it. Dropped some mods in and it was a cool experience
So if Stalker 2 dlc 2027 it's fine with me, at least I can plan out my gaming in 2026 with other great titles
DLC one is coming this year
Dunno about 2 and 3
I'm sorry but I don't believe. There is so many things that need to still be polished in the base game
Well you don’t have to believe cus it’s true
Its fine for you but imagine someone like me who literally plays only 2 games and is waiting for 3 (S2) to get done right...

Its fkin nighmare
The version of stalker 2 we currently have is effectively abandonware
@bitter plover Wachu say
Gamma final version before S2 2.0 is wild
There replacing it once engine update drops
I totally understand. I'm tired of waiting too. I did preorder S2 on gog, and second copy on steam, but since beginning of Jan current year I shelved the game in favor for other brilliant titles.
based
That's crazy
Mind you doesn’t mean the unreal 5.5.4 version of the game won’t be even more buggy
Very well might be way worse
unreal 5.5.4 is already outdated, as I seen other studios walking into newer ver.
Well I highly doubt they will update the engine again
Yep yep
I should have bought the game on discount instead of preordering
Now I feel like I paid money to wait
Well technically ya didnt I mean the game has three different endings, how is that not enough content for oneself?
SoC had 8
HoC has 3
Major downgrade
/s
Hey! We actually paid to be beta testers
where is my embroidered patch for this achievement?
Eh fair but surely there is enough side content then?
4*
HoC has four endings, not three
4? Wait wat
He is joking, that this version is abandonware, bcs the one that is the future is engine upgraded. So this 5.1 version will not change
you have the ward, spark and uhhh strelok or am I crazy
Fourth ending is Strelok killing himself in the lobby. It don't count!
strelok, skif, scar and korshunov
yes. Ward, Spark, Strelok and SKif
He didn't include "/s" anywhere
Ok yea that was 4 mb apparently im mentally disabled lol
he literaly wrote about the versions few lines after 
We are not
Let me embed this one embed of yours, taken out of your embedinet
What the cook I posted...
I do wonder if they will add the 5.1 version of the game to the beta drop down
So people can play old mods still
My bet: wont
damm
but honestly why not
I mean technically steam came out with a new feature to allow version selecting like Minecraft
lol

Delays are kinda understandable, considering the winter months were rough in Kyiv, but why the radiosilence? I mean, make a statement, tell the people what's going on
tell the people that fund your company, what's going on
Without us, there's no GSC
they probably just want to wait until they release so they don't have to keep saying, "yep, it's coming, guys." like 50 times
Tons of things to do right to keep the interest rate high without being generic
Trying to untangle the previous sht spaghetti code while porting to new engine is what's going on most likely
Yeah, thats what we are saying too
We?
Waiting is okay, but ppl need to know that
Bcs i and several others literaly told them exactly this thing 
But do they allow you to talk on their behalf?
yes of course
Tlap is the new T-Tlapciousness
Meh it's ok. They're developing a game in an active war zone. It's not like I need a STALKER 2 update to live.
Wdym
I died once waiting for Stalker 2 update
But, did you survive?
No, i turned to snork now
Nice
Game worth hopping into again now or no
One of us
i gotta post daily honse every day
Killing them with spas/saiga while they are in air is fun
Is this a no
i mean its fun regardless, but depends on when you left off
like for performance its gotten better kinda but still has bugs m stuff
Like about two weeks after release
does anyone else get a bug that breaks the traders? at rostok they stand around, dont have their animations, no dialogue when talking to them at first
oh okay its much better now
In my experience the performance hasn't really seen much of an improvement
As in theres still frame drops in areas with more than several npcs, its just less frame dropping but still present
Also still only like 3 npc models total and copy pasted🤷
definitely an extreme exaggeration
You're right its an exaggeration, more like 5 npc models
GSC are so disappointing with updates
Next update isnt even 1.9 and the engine update that was skated for the start of the year isn't even till after 1.9..
krezzin do you chew with your mouth open
you seem like you do
its gross don't do that
Truth hurts but it hurts the most when its in the shape of spear
So you do chew with your mouth open
I don't have jaw
Hello, I just got my order of Ultimate edition from Game Legends but for the love of god I can't find my activation key anywhere. Any idea where to look?
Your email?
Order says it should be in the box
It should have been emailed to you
when the game launched
Oh... That's wonderful. What if I did not get any email from Game Legends to this day?
Nobody puts activation keys on boxes anymore
Email them with receipt info
Claim your stuff or if they dont want to provide you support, sue them mfers
If it’s not in your email and not in the steel book then you better contact customer support
Ok thanks. Will do
Oh sorry. It's also "reprint" edition. So it definitely should be in the box.
I’ve never heard of anyone having it in the box
But maybe?
Nobody puts it on the box since years, man
It was sent via email
I just realized this reddit post is from fucken grok lmfao
Oh 😅 ok. I just checked my email and order says that I should have it in the box.
Yall grokkin'
It’s stoc we all hate grok
Maybe you were scammed
Grokkinlishously amazing
I don't hate Grok, I don't even think about Grok so I'm not grokkin hard
Why would they make you wait an entire year and a half just to get a digital code for a game
That doesn’t make sense
Grokshually... who cares @cyan sparrow
I really don't know. I just bought for Christmas and I thought I just had to wait until it arrives
He got Grokammed
He grokeally feels grokammed, man
Man, you may have become victim of grokkam @narrow barn
Well double check your email and contact support pray they respond
Only answer I got was during order and yesterday when they shipped my order lol. Never answered me or anything
Yah I heard people really struggled to get the company to respond so I wish you luck

ScamLegends
If you get stuck with out a key wait another year before buying the game
Lmao

Wait
Got my ultimate Edition Today 🤣 bought on 04.11.2024

I got mine and I’ve never even opened it
Took so long to come I honestly regret buying it
Doesn’t really hit the same when the game it’s attached too is only mediocre
Crazy timing
have the lamp next to my pc now and the figure is on my glas Leopard 2a6😅
guys, does anyone actually expect anomaly and gamma on steam? we already have on GOG, but why not on steam? its a good idea if you ask me
What’s the point?
You can download them for free
Literally pointless to put them on steam
Putting them on gog is already pretty pointless
Nobody cares about Gramma/Analmaly here
Some leaving the game afk and spin the playtime, afterwards flexing about hours 
Gamma and anomaly are actively hated here
Why it was such a meme when gsc announced it
- constructive grokking
They came to the largest gamma/anomaly hater community and said oh guys we love those mods right

No actually we don’t
Take true stalker over anomaly and gamma any day
And true stalker is not even that good a mod
Starfiled > gamma
btw how come gamma discord server is like 4x bigger than this server?
do they like force you to join the server to play gamma?
You gotta join the discord to download gamma
lmao
That was initially the thing to lurk plebs into slop
lolmao
Starfield really appeal to people who like watching paint dry
With all those loading screens

Also gamma gets way more mass market public coverage
Like let’s be real
Most of the people who would normally cover stalker 2 on YouTube
Didn’t
They just never reviewed it
Doesn’t help if they did they probably wouldn’t have a lot of nice things to say
Like bro gotta realize sseth made a review of gamma before stalker 2
Sseth is probably one of the largest sources of new stalker fans
I dislike his attitude clamming he made gamma, and pinning the comment under gog game page page.
And he literally never even covered stalker 2

Decided to cover gamma instead really shows how rough it is
Game wasn’t bad enough to warrant a Starfield style review but not good enough for a real one
Stalker 2 is locked into the dreaded 7.5/10 zone
Stalker 2: Shadow of Hope
Like you’d expect mandaloregaming civi11 sseth and similar channels to make videos on stalker 2 no?

i prefer stalker
Paint drying is actually more entertaining than playing starfield, but starfield has this pull where you hate the game but you play more to find out how much you hate it
Day 2 of playing stalker 2. It’s oddly calming, I don’t feel overpowered or too weak, I feel like a normal human in this game, fighting for survival. Which is oddly satisfying.
Plus I found a sniper ak on top of a water tower :).
Enjoy, we will come back to talks after ~100h
Starfield getting more updates than S2

Yeah after what, almost 4 years?
Star Citizen probably had 4 overhauls and still not released
To my knowledge this is like the first overhaul that I know of
What other overhauls did starfield get?
Star Citizen, sin, not starfield
Damn I just want this game to go under the Cyberpunk effect
You mean an anime being released that didnt actually do anything for the game but people just got reminded it exists checked it out and evaluated it with a fresh mindset ?
What?
No, I mean the game is given a 2.0 overhaul and able to be revisted
That never happened with cp
They just fixed bugs marginally improved stability and slapped on small content patches lol
Not really... Mandaloregaming is more into niche (nowadays, at least) older games or some smaller indie games, civvie is into boomer shooters with a few exceptions like thief, sseth is just a mixed bag but the more sandboxy mechanics your game has the more probability he's gonna review it thus gamma instead of s2 or originals, lol (although he makes some exceptions for some random niche adventure games or fuсking pоrn furry inflation games).
The thing is – stalker 2 is kinda generic, yea. It's just another openworld AAA game, almost like far cry, basically. There's not much to review for youtubers like these
And suddenly its the best thing since sliced bread
It literally did lmfaooooo, they dropped 2.0 and had a very successful DLC
They had a very succesful marketing campaign
Like, they objectively, not subjectively, not up for interpretation or debate, had a 2.0 overhaul of the game
I played on launch cp2077 on pc and the hate was super overblown
And then the game marginally improved and got some new content and suddenly its crazy good lol
When in reality its still a very fragmented experience with broken absurd progression and unfun character customisation
I mean, I'm not sure if that counts for it being a 2.0, but they completely redid the way leveling up and building your build works and they completely redone their rpg system from something like borderlands, where you had to level up before visiting certain locations, into something where you can go anywhere at any time because of autoleveling. Sure, that's nothing like rebuilding the whole story from scratch or adding manual schedules for hundreds of NPCs but still
Its still fundamentally flawed esp since it mostly boils down to you levelling to get like 1 aspect into your character
Like wow now you melee hard or wow now you shoot harder or you jump harder or you statcheck everything with hacking
Its basically like the witcher levelling which also sucked balls
Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed with cp because I expected it to be an rpg game in general. All I'm saying is yeah, they did more than just a few small patches
Id say that 'overhaul' is a small patch
But anyway i was also really disapointed
And I was super hyped cause you know patriotism+witcher fan
I mean, it's just semantics at this point, there's no objective way of measuring how big or small the patch is, lol
True
My point is that the people who glaze post edgerunners CP that hated it on release are either ignorant or just hypocritical
Kinda agree
As for edgerunners its just absurd it did so well to me
Would you agree at least his video is probably the most notable piece of content about stalker
All other cdpr related things on netflix are ASS
netflix is ASS
Which is also weird cause bagiński is a very accomplished artist (nominated for an oscar) yet as a producer he produces shit like the witcher series or that dumb animated movie about vesemir
I've never watched it, tbh. Not a fan of anime in general 
I mean the first few seasons of the Witcher are supposedly good
NO
No?
That is a LIE and COPE
i
Its just casual netflix slop viewers giving takes i swear
i hate things!
you're a hater man
unlike me
im a lover
Even the 1st season had absurd inconsistencies incomprehensible plot points and overall silly costumes, set pieces and abysmal conflicts and battles

Yea, probably. I'm not sure if his vid has more impact than Drewski's "early" video about the NEW FREE SURVIVAL GAME THAT'S FREE AND YOU CAN PLAY NOW FOR FREE AND IT'S BETTER THAN AAA GAMES WHILE BEING FREE (100% FREE) but, at least, his audience isn't just some wannabie tacticool operators
Anyway to give an example from the show
Child who got his family murdered by the main character's family drinks magical water that is said to remove all bad memories
And two cuts after he drinks it he turns to that character and starts rambling about how she is responsible for his family dying 
And its explicitly implied the water worked as intended
The writer just forgot 
An accurate depiction of life in the Zone.

this video lives in my memory and brings me rage
Drewski was more influential
How's your blood pressure 
Why because he tells people to download anomaly at the end
Oh, didn't know he did the review of the original game. Kinda cool. I thought he only did gamma

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Chernobyl review covers a survival fps with horror and RPG elements that remains relevant with a strong core game and a vibrant modding community.

Nah, his audience is smaller in general but he made a wave of others tacticool youtubers playing different tacticool modpacks for anomaly
can i change my difficulty mid game?
no because of the whole presentation
Yea
its locked for me
Yeah, this I knew. Original games are in the "niche junk" state so it's gold for youtubers like these. I think even Civvie 11 played the original game (although I'm not sure if he has completed it or nah)
cant send the pic here though

What difficulty are you on and what difficulty are you trying to choose?
Send it there #💬┃en_offtop and link it here
just did from master to veteran plus while fighting scar
Ah, you won't be able to come back to master difficulty after switching to lower one
no i mean lower it even more
You can’t
Ohhh, I see... Now I don't know about that

the fight is absolute bullshit, i had 150 deaths before strelok now im at 210 something
