i love dying through walls

[prime harness]

gsc ur game is in shambles and u post some bs cmon fix ur game already

[plain star]

RELEASE THE UPD*ATE FILES

[kindred fable]

You can't get more than you have already, all the other roles are tied to your activity and timed events

[queen girder]

🤣

[broken stag]

give up all hope

[serene barn]

at least that ping is directly tied to an update that is coming to the game.

[sudden nimbus]

oh damn
i wanted to put saiga 12

[broken stag]

nah we are like 60 pings in

[mild bay]

It’s been 6 months pls just give us a stalker 2 update 😭

[kindred fable]

Yea, it was a part of a small event

[sudden nimbus]

not until they fix the 2 fps PDA thing in 1.9

whats even gonna be in 1.9?

[main jewel]

itll come

[main jewel]

who knows cause next update isnt 1.9

[bitter plover]

what 2 fps PDA thing

[main jewel]

as mol1t said gsc will not call this update 1.9 as its just bug fixes and some quest story part that was most likely cut from the game

[main jewel]

theres a bug where the pda absolutely wrecks the game

[broken stag]

okay but what about a basic bug fix for major issues

[main jewel]

like if you open it or something

[main jewel]

i dunno but next update is like erm 1.8 to the power of 2 so

i hope they fix a majority of the bugs that plague the game

[bitter plover]

i know. But PDA FPS issue are in game for some time. Mozi posted about how he had 2 fps on PDA (didnt stated if it is in testing or normal) and ppl for some reason are acting, like its some major issue in testing of 1.9, that ppl have 2 fps on PDA like, ppl should stop reaching

[main jewel]

and make sure they dont come back

[sudden nimbus]

new patch had a bug where you open the PDA and it crashes to 2fps

[dreamy dagger]

8 of them already!!!!!!!!!

[main jewel]

evil

[main jewel]

[hoary crest]

Merrr, baited again by announcement ping

[main jewel]

i wish gsc wasnt so silent

[sudden nimbus]

huh how? vatislavovich said its 1.9

[broken stag]

im currently soft locked bc there one of the angry midgets killing me through a wall

[hoary crest]

I sleep

[main jewel]

[main jewel]

mol1t said it isnt in a ask gsc answer

[bitter plover]

Where did you take it from is my question. Bcs you are not tester, 1.9 is in testing and we didnt say, that something like this is in. Mozi just posted about it while playing S2, didnt say, that it is in test or normal live version.

[main jewel]

gosh

[sudden nimbus]

i wonder whats the new location gonna be

[main jewel]

i dont think im allowed to say

[sudden nimbus]

oh that explains it

[bitter plover]

To be fair. It depeds, how they meant. Did they mean it, that its small patch and it shouldnt be labeled as 1.9, but it still will, or did they mean for real, that it wont be 1.9 and that 1.9 will come after that

bcs afaik, it will still be 1.9

[sudden nimbus]

how would you know?
secret undercover gsc mole?

new location
sidorovichs shop

after 20 years you can finally loot those sweet medkits behind him

[main jewel]

become a mod one day and find out

[dreamy dagger]

It isn't #📜┃gsc-answers

[main jewel]

maybe

[dreamy dagger]

GSC management is trying to make us look stupid

They think we cant count

[main jewel]

i want them to give the public more info about whats going around

[bitter plover]

bro, noone has to try in case of you you are schizo

[main jewel]

dont tell him hes a schizo.. he might go even more than a schizo……

[sudden nimbus]

gsc are more secretive than the secret service

[main jewel]

can we get the biggest true

[bitter plover]

[main jewel]

i hope the community doesnt absolutely go insane after this update comes out

thats all i hope for roit now

i wonder when its gunna drop

[main jewel]

[carmine star]

Hurray frogs

[scenic hornet]

any news about roadmap or incoming stuff ?

[marble gyro]

None atm

[carmine star]

Wow much news

[robust pendant]

tell me about it...

[main jewel]

nothing

[carmine star]

Game so dead only thing tk announcement is frogs

[main jewel]

as usual

[main jewel]

the game probably wouldnt be so dead if we actually had news

but

it aint our faults

[marble gyro]

Single player games can't die

[carmine star]

Yes

[marble gyro]

They only die if we choose to stop playing them

[drifting bear]

F

[main jewel]

duh

duuuhh

thats how a game dies

[worldly lion]

Is there a clear sky mod that changes the story

[main jewel]

why do you want a story change

[worldly lion]

Like a little

[hardy basin]

happy birthday dear ShOC

[marble gyro]

But I'm still playing it, so therefore, not dead, if the whole world were to somehow stop playing stalker 2 altogether, then it would be considered dead

[main jewel]

do you want scar to be the guy he is now

[worldly lion]

Ok so i worded it wrong but i just want extra content to the game, like more story to the swamps because they are really good

But are short

[marble gyro]

And regardless of how much people go crazy here, they still go back and play it, to find something else new to complain about

[main jewel]

im ngl, if i havent played the original games, i wouldnt even know a stalker 2 existed

[marble gyro]

The shackles that we hold as a community in this long commitment and arduous moment, we can wait longer

[main jewel]

theres barely any news about it anywhere

[marble gyro]

Eesh....I gotta stop playing Legacy of Kain

[main jewel]

stalker 2 videos dont come up on yt for you pages unless you physically watch them alot

[bitter plover]

the announcement is telling you, that patch is releasing next week. Its not just frogs

[carmine star]

Releases left bad taste is casual mouths

[main jewel]

i hear nothing about this game

it’s practically on life support to me

[marble gyro]

Give it time

[main jewel]

ive given it a year

many many months

most of us have

[worldly lion]

The game is like fallout in the spect that uts very mod friendly and allows for more content from the community

[marble gyro]

Besides everyone at this point is probably playing crimson desert and occasionally playing stalker

Rejoice

[carmine star]

X4 and grayzone for me

[main jewel]

mods is the one thing that makes me keep playing so

[marble gyro]

Good titles

[main jewel]

i enjoy mods

[worldly lion]

Do you know a mod that adds more to the storyline for the game or even changes the story for clear sky?

[bitter plover]

i basicaly only watch Vatis video, nothing else about S2, but there are still a lot of videos from newcomers, about philosophy of this game and etc. So there are deffinitiely videos out there

[marble gyro]

I stopped watching videos

[kindred fable]

Of course there are vids aboug that game. What she's sayin is that yt algorithm doesn't promote them outside of the stalker fandom bubble

[marble gyro]

I started reading again and playing my guitar, let the brain rest ya know?

[bitter plover]

yeah. Thats i guess true. And i dont thikn it will change until DLC, when ppl will watch it more and it will promote algo

[marble gyro]

There is more to life than just worrying about if your favorite game or series is ever coming back, we should all just enjoy what we have ya know?

[carmine star]

GSC doesn't care about marketing. Money that's was to be made has already been made

[robust pendant]

Theres HardWarMod and Zmeelov Mod (both machine trasnlated) and the recent STALKER Defiance

[worldly lion]

hmmm, tell me more

[robust pendant]

but I dont know the quality nor what they are about, just know that they exist. I heard Defiance is decent, thats about it

[worldly lion]

there is this faction war mod that adds chimeras to the game and even puts them in the swamp

[robust pendant]

or the hibernation evil series, there is one for cs, but that one starts in SoC

You can check here both the hardwar and zmeelov: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Here's defiance: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-defiance

[proven hollow]

I wish i could ragebait like mol1t does with these announcements

[kindred fable]

Just create a promising early access title on steam, gather a big community, make a few big updates that add a lot and then... Don't do anything for a few months

[worldly lion]

what is the hibernation evil about

sounds REALLY intresting

[kindred fable]

After you've done all of that you can ping everybody with "it's wednesday my dudes" post on friday

[robust pendant]

I also have no idea, I heard episode 1 its ok-ish and the rest get better

https://www.moddb.com/mods/hibernation-evil-episode-1 Theres a description there

Also, the document spreasheet I sent earlier has them all, as well as little descriptions for them

[proven hollow]

that's the kind of dedication i'm lacking 😛

[worldly lion]

this seems to be a mod meant to be in russian

needs the stalker RU version, ill try another mod

[dense quartz]

Every new ping you think its 1.9 🤣 but well they said 1.9 will be way smaller than anticipated anyways

[visual mortar]

oh watch OUT guys, the giggle shitter is here

and he DOESN'T have his diaper on

[marble gyro]

Wow.....2.04 silver is not a lot

Instantly spent in just buying a sword in crimson desert

[worldly lion]

Alot of stalker mods being not that well recorded (atleast not in english)is kinda bittersweet, its going into foreign territories not knowing if youll enjoy the journey or not

[kindred fable]

I'd say to not expect much from the story mods in general. They are very... Experimental, not in a good way

With stalker mods you have to choose your poison: story mods with insane writing and weird quests or freeroam mods that feel pretty stale after a while

[worldly lion]

Have you tried hibernation evil? If yes what did you think? Dont spoil just tell me if it was giid

[kindred fable]

I haven't. I kinda enjoyed Spatial Anomaly tho, it's pretty good compared to most. Doesn't have great swamps tho

[worldly lion]

No great swamps?

[kindred fable]

Yea, the first location in Clear Sky. I don't remember what is it called exactly

[worldly lion]

I know i know

[smoky hawk]

both zmeelov and hardwar are p small

[worldly lion]

Buts its kinda weird to have anomaly withiut the GS

[worldly lion]

Are they good tho

[smoky hawk]

whats your standard

[worldly lion]

Pretty low if i say so myself

[smoky hawk]

then Id say yhea, zmeelov is an endearing old mod that has a new story line based on the first ten extended universe stalker books

and HardWarMod is its own thing based on OGSM, more complete

[worldly lion]

Does it have bad graphics? I dont mind bad graphics but i wanna know if they are

[smoky hawk]

zmeelov is from 2012 and hwm is from 2013, theyll look like the OG with some added stuff

[worldly lion]

Alright then, thanks for the info

[smoky hawk]

you can find more info in the ccon spreadsheet and mod repo

[fading terrace]

When is the PSSR 2.0 patch for ps5 pro?

[smoky hawk]

to allow PSSR2.0
its Sony brand of Dlss

ergo useless

[worldly lion]

Also the what books

[smoky hawk]

back in the 2000s, GSC had the stalker IP open for individual book writers to write about, so theres a bunch of stalker books that arent cannon with varying degrees of quality

[robust pendant]

wash that mouth

[modern frigate]

we really get everyone'd for everything besides updates

[worldly lion]

So the first 10 books, what are those called and also are they short stories?

[carmine star]

Lol about fking frogs no less

[kindred fable]

Nah, I will die on that hill or something. I wish stalker mods were better in that aspect

[robust pendant]

there are quite some polished stalker mods

[carmine star]

I swear this is a HGTV discord

[robust pendant]

of course some are experimental and rusty, but thats what you get in modding

why even play mods to begin with

[smoky hawk]

theyre all in russian, you have the 2002 contest entries and the 2007 Partenered Books

[kindred fable]

95% of them are experimental and rusty (I made that number up but that's more or less how I feel about my experience with them mods). I'm not trying to bash on them mods, they are still entertaining to me. Just not in the way many other mods for many other games are

[robust pendant]

90% of everything is rusty, idk

you just have to try and find out the ones you seem to like

[smoky hawk]

your momma rusty

[worldly lion]

Good lord, ill just read roadside picnic or snth

[robust pendant]

thats what she said

[smoky hawk]

its your best bet, general consensus is that the german novelosation and the polish ones are good and the albanian/slovaki(?) one killed the open license from being that bad

[worldly lion]

Great, i speak german

[smoky hawk]

when I say german novelisation I mean GSC partenered with a German guy to write books in russian
the translations are real shoddy

[worldly lion]

Oh

[kindred fable]

I mean, sure. It's just... I can't even name a single story mod that's on par with original SoC in terms of story and gameplay. Meanwhile, I dunno, something like Gothic series has Archolos which is not just on par with original 2 games but is even bigger and better than originals in many ways (imo)

[worldly lion]

Also the albsnian one cant be THAT bad no?

[smoky hawk]

it is that bad, that one even had a eng tl

[robust pendant]

Spatial Anomaly, Return to the Zone, Another Zone Mod, SFZ, Dreamcatcher, Attribut, True Stalker, Adventures Series (the trilogy), Bad Company 2, Troubled Times, True Path

I can still name

[kindred fable]

I've played the first two and the dreamcatcher and I have to disagree

[smoky hawk]

should play AZM spretty good

[robust pendant]

bruh

[kindred fable]

Don't take it as an attack on them mods, please

I appreciate the fact that they exist

[robust pendant]

I dont feel it like an attack, but like, bruh

thats just my whole reaction: bruh

[worldly lion]

Where can i find them i have to see it myself

[smoky hawk]

google stalker Southern Comfort

[kindred fable]

What's the full name

[smoky hawk]

Another Zone Mod

[kindred fable]

Where's that ball enjoyer, btw

[smoky hawk]

hes in the other server

[kindred fable]

What was he called... You know what I mean, the guy that liked jekan mods

[kindred fable]

Did he left?

[smoky hawk]

dont remember

[kindred fable]

Haven't seen him in a while

[smoky hawk]

but you have more chances to catch if you leave bait in ccon than here

[dreamy dagger]

Huh?

We been everyone'd about frogs?

[carmine star]

new announcment

[dreamy dagger]

Didn't they learn their lesson with the squirrels....

[dreamy dagger]

ARE YOU FOR FKING REAL????????????? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!??!?!?

[worldly lion]

Absolute military circlejerk good lord

[carmine star]

i wish i wasn't ribbit ribbit

[kindred fable]

Right. Honestly, I almost never check on these community servers...

(Also, I didn't try to bait, all I said bout them mods was my true opinion)

[dreamy dagger]

...............

This is harassment already, not even funny. People paid for shit only to get tagged about nonsense.... Lmao.

[kindred fable]

To be fair, the frogs are already in the game

[robust pendant]

I've replaced him

[smoky hawk]

every single commander is corrupt or a retard except our hero

its a very notepad book

you need to remind yourself this was actually published

[dreamy dagger]

Only thing GSC makes us realize with these useless posts is: never preorder any game whatsoever

They doing us a favor I think

[vast frost]

its whatever funds the war effort

[worldly lion]

Always pirate your games

(Dont listen to me)

[dreamy dagger]

Last time I preorder a GSC product, dunno about you

I did it twice for this company, 1st Cossacks 3 and S2

[vast frost]

https://tenor.com/view/tip-hat-jack-sparrow-gif-18080055

[kindred fable]

I knew it was a gamble from the beginning. All I care about is the end result... Currently I feel like losing but I still wonder if the engine update will save it or nah

[dreamy dagger]

Actually this is the only company I preordered stuff from - never did it for anyone else

[kindred fable]

(s2 is the only game I've preordered in my life)

[worldly lion]

Lmao no need to see the gif

[vast frost]

u werent there when u could pre order Clear sky

[sterile sable]

Frog

[dreamy dagger]

I didnt care for STALKER till atleast late 2011

[worldly lion]

I remember clear sky being like 10 euros why did they make it 20 euros after stalker 2

[vast frost]

i got the trilogy for £5 in 2021

[worldly lion]

Must been a sale

[vast frost]

perfect time to buy

[kindred fable]

They did it after releasing "enhanced" versions

[vast frost]

i have SoC on disk somewhere in the attic played that when i was like 9 lol

[worldly lion]

Lmao not only they hid them from the public but they also made them more expensive?

[vast frost]

disenhanced edition

[kindred fable]

You get the originals if you buy EE but yeah, kinda sucks what they did there, considering the quality of the rerelease

[vast frost]

i got EE for free lol

[bitter plover]

They announcement was to tell you, that there is something comming next week (so probably patch release). It wasnt post about frogs...

[worldly lion]

Yeah because you had the ogs

[kindred fable]

Yeah, if you had the originals you get EE for free

[worldly lion]

Clear sky is by far my most played game, about 76 hours, but only because my gamw crashed 2 times while going to limansk

That damn construction site...

[robust pendant]

You should've realised this since like, cyberpunk or assasins creed

Too late ma bro

[vast frost]

i dislike clear sky the most tbh mainly because its broken and not worth the time and effort

[worldly lion]

The vibe of the swamps is absolutely divine tho

[vast frost]

my favourite will always be SoC yet CoP is my most played

[kindred fable]

True, preordering is a bad practice in general. It's just illogical to buy a product before it's released

[vast frost]

niet its poo poo fighting a bunch of renegades just to find out im not even apart of clear sky lol

faction relations were cool but not as fluid as CoC and other sandbox mods

i pretty much just hate anything that isnt a renegade or freedom

[kindred fable]

The location itself is pretty cool tho, even if gameplaywise it's just a tutorial level with 0 content in the original CS

[worldly lion]

They were monolithians what did you expect? But no you dont become part of the faction because they still need to hide their identity, that being said you did get a brightly blue suit with the clear sky logo plastered on it

[worldly lion]

Wdym "original" CS

[vast frost]

i threw it away as soon as i got my seva

[worldly lion]

Wait...

[kindred fable]

Not modified, obviously... I haven't played all of the stalker mods so who knows, maybe some of them make that location really cool gameplaywise

You can never tell

[vast frost]

its a fun place in CoC and Anomaly i must agree u find renegades with quad nods lol but in CS its just bad

[worldly lion]

Yeah, imagine one where one of the quest is fighting the chimera from that one video

[kindred fable]

Yeah, I love it in freeplay mods

[smoky hawk]

when will we be able to ban people for anomaly

[vast frost]

stalker zona makes it a fun place but its a niche anomaly pack that is surprisingly more fun that any other stalker modpack u arent contantly suffering like in gamma

[kindred fable]

I'll pass, not a fan of Anomaly and its modpacks tbh

[vast frost]

anomaly is cool if u have played the OGs back to front not if u are new to the zone

[kindred fable]

Currently I only play CotZ when I want some freeplay slop

[smoky hawk]

if you have played the ogs back to front I shudder to think how anomaly would be good

[vast frost]

i agree i like the IX ray engine mod for CoP thats my hot new take on a real enhanced experience

[worldly lion]

Imagine like a guy who never heard of the game playing in order of clear sky > call of pripyat > shadow of chernobyl and finally figuring out HE is strelok

[vast frost]

what? thats not the correct order nor would it have relevance u would just ruin SoC because everything u do in that gets said about by strelok in CoP

[smoky hawk]

thats the joke

[vast frost]

I dont think I would be able to live with myself lol

[worldly lion]

"Yo why are these 2 dudes trying to kill him"
"Ohhhhhhh"

You might wanna take a trip to the exclusion zone

[vast frost]

cough cough when the shelling stops i will enter the zone for real

[worldly lion]

Dont let russia stop you from making a wish

[vast frost]

they are practically monolith

[worldly lion]

No, they are wayy to stupid

[vast frost]

have u met the monolith?

[worldly lion]

Yeah, great artillery i must say

[vast frost]

seem pretty ret@rded to me

[worldly lion]

They are basically wired to a supercomputer telling them what to do

[hardy rune]

is the zone under russian occupation or is there fighting there?

[worldly lion]

Its not undwr occupation but there was a drone strike on the sargoohagus a while back

[vast frost]

i do dislike drone warfare tho i think its more evil that being forced to become a controller for some lab experiment

[hardy rune]

owfff

[vast frost]

they tried to steal the wish granter lmao

[worldly lion]

Also the radiation peaked again because the trwnch digging kicked up alot of radioactive dirt

[vast frost]

now the zone is becoming the zone again

after there will be many artifacts to be found

[hardy rune]

isn’t that like a international law not to attack nuclear power plants, especially one so damaged already? hell russia doesn’t care what am I saying lol

[worldly lion]

Not until a hole in the noosphere is established

[worldly lion]

Afaik anomalies are basicakly fallen remains of the noosohere

[hardy rune]

I love how the convo is merging between real life and this game

[vast frost]

ask urself when u live in a democracy do u think communism cares for such laws

[worldly lion]

Wait what is russias ideology after 1991

[hardy rune]

exactly

they’ve already committed war crimes

[vast frost]

i think they both commit war crimes dude

its not war without crimes

[hardy rune]

well duh

Ehm? Rule 8

[vast frost]

honestly if the zone was like the way it is the game i would love to live in it pure freedom to do what i want maybe stop off a yanov for a drink then shoot some sh|t

[worldly lion]

Right

[still current]

I'm going to let this one slide, but continue at your own peril

[hardy rune]

anyway, how do i get to the root cellar in the poppy field

[worldly lion]

Swear words banned in a chat about +18 game what are we doing

[vast frost]

u get diabetes from energy drinks and fall in

[hardy rune]

[vast frost]

i think there is a house just outside of the poppy field and dude that lives there has the key

hes friendly

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-nervous-wreck-gif-12986085083782148824

me thinking staff can read my thoughts

[hardy rune]

but nah deadahh, I give up on my first run but now imm get it. Some wanted 2k for info and all it was “the celler is on the other side” I looked all over and kept dying. must be across the lake idk

[smoky hawk]

not saying swear words thats for sure

[vast frost]

bring like 50 energy drinks with u and stay away from the flying leaves

they make u sleepy

[worldly lion]

50 energy things are 2 much, you need max 5

[hardy rune]

I don’t got that kinda dough! but now I aint seeing it anywhere. i’ll look on the other side of the lake when i get home

[vast frost]

lowkey tho i realised the poppy field is actually a nod to the poppy plant that can actually make u sleep permanently irl

[worldly lion]

what?

[hardy rune]

wowzers

speaking of a nod

[vast frost]

the anomaly triggers the affects of the real stuff

[hardy rune]

is the dnipro rifle spelled the same as the river in Ukraine

[vast frost]

yes

looks like an MDR

The Dnipro (Dnieper) River

[hardy rune]

cool lore

[shell flax]

It is a Ukrainian rifle irl to be fair

[bitter plover]

shame. I like mute and ban hammers

[still current]

Same, but I show some mercy from time to time

[blazing ingot]

I like real hammers.

Got a decent upgrade tho

I no longer have to wait 3days

I wait 3hrs

[bitter plover]

you said that. Which is rly good I remmeber the time it took you to download game after release and then it got shit up and you had to do it again. Lmao

[still current]

98%

Yeah

I'll never forget such carnage

It almost got to tear up lmao

While everyone one of you was around sirca

I was redoing it all haha

[still current]

Crazy times lol

[marble gyro]

Man, crimson desert is crashing everywhere

[still current]

You're playing it?

[marble gyro]

I was for a bit

But it crashes on map opening

Then I tried my brother's computer it's a 4090, and that crashes on startup

Soooooo I think we need a bit more time until we can actually play this game

[still current]

An overhype prov

I would still want to try it

[marble gyro]

Oh nah man, so like the world has physics, anything you do has physics

[bitter plover]

it was overhyped a lot. Many ppl didnt have a clue what this game is and hyped it to the roof without knowing what the game actually is

[still current]

Give me family access to it

[marble gyro]

People thought it was going to be like a witcher style game

[bitter plover]

yeah. Exactly

[marble gyro]

But in reality it's more of a TLOZ breath of the wild/valheim sandbox

With ZERO handholding

Like I had to figure most of this stuff out

It's great if you like discovering things at your own pace

The mechanics are pretty clunky, but when you get used to them it's pretty smooth

There are so many functions and combat variations

[graceful dirge]

Working pretty well on Series X using the balanced mode, and yeah I'm having a lot of fun with it even if it's not this true 10/10 game of the decade sorta thing. Story is def bad but in a way that's been kinda funny to me but the exploration, the combat, and all of these other mechanics have been a joy to figure out

[marble gyro]

Voice acting is good, story has not hooked me yet

[bitter plover]

yes

[marble gyro]

I'm enjoying it a lot

But it's definitely not for everyone

[bitter plover]

Also ppl a lot of time want some story to guide them trough game, but this is not the case

[marble gyro]

Right

Exactly that

The irony also, they asked for a game like this

And now they got it "Too HARD I HATE IT"

Like bro....just get good

[bitter plover]

its deffinitely not game for everyone. Like i know what BDO is and i knew, that this was supposed to be also MMO, but it was changed to SP, while still having those things. So i knew that this game will be more for ppl, who loves to sink tons of hours in open world, do tons of different things, grind thir character and not care about story.

[marble gyro]

Kinda sounds like elden ring

[bitter plover]

SO i knew, that this game will probably not be for me. BUt there were tons of ppl riding the hype, without at least looking at it to see, if its for them or not

[marble gyro]

That game you were lost like majority of the time

Getting your ass handed by enemies

And everyone is all "This game is great!!" Yeah because it's mostly dodge attack, dodge attack in that order

"ZERO HANDHOLDING elden ring sweeps"

[bitter plover]

Well, Fromsoft games are different. Bcs most of story is told by notes and stuff. Not by actuall quests, dialog and etc

[marble gyro]

Ppfff cmon man

Fromsoft also has a cult

Larger than marvel tards

[bitter plover]

it rly does

[marble gyro]

BDO hardly anyone has heard of it

Or they don't like it

[bitter plover]

Well yeah. Its not know game much, bcs its played mostly by eastern players. Its their kind of game. Brutal grind fest with microtransations.

[marble gyro]

I will say, in crimson desert grind is not that bad as bdo

Like you can make money easily just by fishing

Oh and can I say that Fishing in this is honestly really freaking good and addictive?

I'm honestly glad this game was not a scam

It is exactly what the trailers and devs promised it would be

[bitter plover]

yeah, i think they marketed it well. No bull shit or anything. They said exactly what the game will be imo. Its the ppl on intersnet, that did videos on it, that had no clue

[marble gyro]

FR!!! It's the people's fault this time

[sudden rapids]

you say it's not the Witcher 3 killer some random internet people expected???

[marble gyro]

They were like expecting this generational game,(which it actually kinda is) and are disappointed on the mechanics that was shown and presented

[bitter plover]

[marble gyro]

Story wise no, gameplay and mechanics wise and overall lore of the world, oh easily sweeps

[dreamy dagger]

I havent played either

[dreamy dagger]

People said its frogs!

[bitter plover]

i wouldnt jump on lore of the world. That is rly good in Witcher and that would be more subjective. But it has deffinitely more complex combat and mechanics

[marble gyro]

Dawg it even has Shadow of the Colossus mechanics

[dreamy dagger]

THEY TURNED THE FRIKKIN FROGS GAY!

[bitter plover]

[marble gyro]

Using your blade to guide you during puzzles via light and you can use it in combat to blind enemies

[marble gyro]

Lore in black desert is actually pretty extensive and so far, lore in crimson desert is pretty engaging

It's just kliff the main character and his band so far is very uninteresting

[sudden rapids]

Skif in Crimson Desert would be peak

[marble gyro]

Damn 4th crash while opening the map

Think imma wait a bit

Gonna play some tainted grail for the time being

Another game btw is really good

Like a oblivion/skyrim game

Only set in the universe of like Avalon and king arthur

I have like 25 characters on there

[bitter plover]

Grail is rly nice

[marble gyro]

It really is, especially with all the updates, it just got even better

Plus it scratches that ES itch I have

BECAUSE TODD HOWARD REFUSES TO MAKE A ES6

[gaunt jungle]

Is Psi / C the same thing but spelt differently, or are they 2 different things

[gaunt jungle]

I mean, at least they are trying to fix Starfield, which could still be a good game

Hell, it already is a good game, but with flaws

[marble gyro]

I played starfield since launch and am about to purchase it again on playstation because of the new update

And im a Bethesda shill

[smoky hawk]

I gotta maintain the UI and controls suck ass but its ok

enuff to make me forgot the dumb stuff like calling stuff, wyrd

[bitter plover]

had some little problem with that also, yeha

[smoky hawk]

i like the Giger stuff, reminds me of another game thats not coming out

[sour wyvern]

Finally got the physical edition after a whole year and half or so

󠄀

[iron wind]

1.9 public release when

been 1 week of testing

[stuck adder]

Why are bloodsuckers so hard to kill in Stalker 2

Especially in that one room in particular where they have an amogus emergency meeting

[marble gyro]

Shoot them in the head

Usually takes like one shotgun blast

[stuck adder]

I play it on Master difficulty

[marble gyro]

When they cloak it feels like they get a defensive boost

And I do too

Sawd off shotgun Usually one taps them if you get a clean headshot and not miss

[stuck adder]

One vampire is tough, but manageable, but one room full of them? Hell nah

[marble gyro]

How many?

[stuck adder]

You know that ||one place where you have to search for Team Bravo||

[marble gyro]

Ah yeah

That place used to spawn like 13

[frigid hill]

hormonem has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[charred nova]

Gotta polish it up for the masses

[stuck adder]

Yeah, you get my point; no way I am killing all of them

Also sorry for the bad word, that room was just frustraiting for me

[sour wyvern]

Have they said anything about the co-op they promised?

[bitter plover]

[marble gyro]

Is avowed any good now?

[sour wyvern]

So uh that doesn't answer

[bitter plover]

CO-OP was literally denied from begining. It wasnt promised ever

[bitter plover]

its fine. Its nice. Not great, but nice

[kindred fable]

I've played a demo like a year ago, really liked it. Felt like gothic with more survival elements, really liked the exploration aspect of it too

[marble gyro]

That demo, is nothing like the actual game right now, you should definitely go back into it

The game has had like 3 different hud changes, better sounds, better magic impacts, armor works

[marble gyro]

It's like on sale right now too

[kindred fable]

Yeah, sooner or later I'll do it. Currently I'm playing addons for original doom games, lol

[sour wyvern]

Really i swear I remember it being a roadmap thing but okay sure whatever

[kindred fable]

Nah, it was never a part of the roadmap. It was never planned either

[iron wind]

I only heard about PvP

[faint prism]

multiplayer was promised, not coop specifically

but there are no multiplayer news as well

I've heard somewhere that gsc hasn't even started developing it

[kindred fable]

#📰┃announcement message

Here's the roadmap, just in case

[bitter plover]

not only that, thay straight said, that No Coop

[kindred fable]

Yea, many times, lol

[sour wyvern]

See thats what I got confused

I looked into it

[proven hollow]

multiplayer gonna be lit tho

[kindred fable]

Yea, it happens sometimes... But yeah, 0 news on multiplayer and I doubt we'll hear about it soon

[sour wyvern]

Does suck I would've also liked a co-op but I can understand why

we leave that work for modding

[charred nova]

I’m blown away mol1t even bothered answering that many times

[robust pendant]

he gets paid for that after all...

[main jewel]

coop will become a mod one day

if someone bothers making it

its gunna be awhile tho

[robust pendant]

it took like 10-15 years to make it for the original one

[main jewel]

a longggggggg while

yeah

[robust pendant]

of course less resources and a more janky engine, but still

[main jewel]

its gunna take probably 2 to 3 times that amount of time with stalker 2

[kindred fable]

I mean, it's an easy question to answer...

[main jewel]

i dont care about coop

[kindred fable]

To be fair, it might be much easier on UE5 cause of documentation n stuff

[main jewel]

i usually like solo adventures anyway

[kindred fable]

Yeah, we get it, no friends and all, it's okay

We live in a society after all

[main jewel]

nice projecting mr

everyone has at least one friend

a dog or co worker or anybody

[kindred fable]

But a friend that would play some random slop with you? Not that many, I think

[main jewel]

ever since i freaking played tarkov ive always wanted to go solo

i dont wanna worry about teammates and all that

loot arguments

staying solo avoids that so

[main jewel]

i have a group of people waiting

[marble gyro]

Man I'm hungry

I just had sushi, but I'm still hungry

[kindred fable]

Maybe you are the lucky one then. I've never had friends that are interested in playing something that isn't csgo or dota

Like, they'd never go out of their way to play something like coop stalker 2 with me (not that I'd want to but still, if I'd want to they wouldn't do that, I think)

[main jewel]

well csgo and dota aint the only games out there

you should get your friends to be more open

arma existsssss

roblox has millions of random games

[kindred fable]

They are not really into games in general, I guess

[main jewel]

horror games are fun with your friends

oh

[kindred fable]

You know the type. The one that plays pirated gta with cheatcodes if they want to play something solo

No judging but you know what I mean

[main jewel]

mhm

[marble gyro]

The fact you said roblox

Ew

[kindred fable]

Also yea

The roblox I will judge

I hecking love gatekeeping people from playing gamerinos...

[marble gyro]

So I bought a full face tactical gas mask

Can't wait for for that to get delivered

[main jewel]

what the hell is wrong with roblox

[main jewel]

playing criminality with my highschool friends was like the best times of my life

rust too

[marble gyro]

I don't Have friends that play roblox

They only play arma, day Z, battlefield, and fighting games

[main jewel]

[marble gyro]

Then when a resident evil game comes out, they invite me to a chat just to argue about lore lmao

Fun times

[oblique adder]

why am i getting pinged about random stuff instead of game related stuff

we've been getting pinged about random stuff more than the game lately

[marble gyro]

What you don't like frogs?

[carmine star]

Ribbit ribbit

[visual mortar]

i freaking HATE frogs

[visual mortar]

thats so terrible we should riot

[marble gyro]

Take it how you will, I think it's a clue

[visual mortar]

hey sin did you scrub your forehead

get all the nasty shit off

[marble gyro]

Did you scrub your ass?

[visual mortar]

yknow the greasy grime type shit

[oblique adder]

can they make a role for game updates only and not @ everyone

[visual mortar]

never

[marble gyro]

Because sitting down so much would give you the nastiest case of swamp ass

[visual mortar]

oh yeah

you know it

[marble gyro]

Man probably has that gamer smell that's so pungent in a gamestop

[visual mortar]

not quite

but it is off

[marble gyro]

Nah, too rich for that

[visual mortar]

for what

[marble gyro]

To have bad hiegene

[visual mortar]

where does wealth play into thus

are you saying you were a greasy gross butt creep before you got money

thats freaking gross dude

[marble gyro]

I told you I was homeless for 2 years

Literally

[main jewel]

gsc’s management or whatever decides to hide things rather than give us news to actually hype people up so we never know whats coming until testers get the update

[visual mortar]

awesome

did you eat pigeons and threaten pedestrians

[main jewel]

greasy gross butt creep

how did you think of that

[marble gyro]

No, I sat in a underpass waiting for someone to put the chome barrel to my bone marrow

[visual mortar]

my thumbs

[visual mortar]

chome barrel on the bone martow

is this a poetic slang

[main jewel]

chromeee

tamsy your a tard you know that

*tart

[marble gyro]

Nah definitely a tard

[visual mortar]

i sweetart

[main jewel]

nvm

not a sweethart

a retard….

🌩️

[visual mortar]

idk im the tard but you wanted to chrome barrel in the bone marrow

what if it was steel

then what

[marble gyro]

I'm not talking about this.....

[visual mortar]

bone

bone garrow

bu

bone man

[visual mortar]

[main jewel]

skull man from mega man

[visual mortar]

[main jewel]

nervous handjob

@tribal garnet

[visual mortar]

LMAO

[main jewel]

why is your name nervous handjob

[visual mortar]

who the FUCK is nervous handjob

[tribal garnet]

hello you all 😄 just bought stalker 2, i am at the first town now... but now i am unsure on what difficulty i should play? i am at stalker now, would be a more difficult thing better?

[main jewel]

why is the handjob nervous

why did you even pick that name

[visual mortar]

why are you nervous

[tribal garnet]

haha because i find that name funny

[main jewel]

if you play at veteran youll get the true stalker experience

you should play on the games hardest difficulty

but

[tribal garnet]

ah so not the master one?

[main jewel]

master is just veteran with no saves and stuff

if you want to have a funner time

do veteran

[tribal garnet]

ah nice so i will change it now 😄 thank you very much

[main jewel]

your welcome nervous handjob

[tribal garnet]

i have the feeling that you like my name 😄

[main jewel]

its so random and funny

but rule 9 does exist

so

[tribal garnet]

yes i too have the humor of an child 😄

[main jewel]

i’ll have change it to nervous handwork..

[visual mortar]

oh sweet you got a binky and rattle too?

[tribal garnet]

im little afraid to as but what is rule 9?

[main jewel]

no nsfw stuff

now your handy work

[tribal garnet]

aah i understand 😄

[visual mortar]

rule 9 no nervous handjob

[main jewel]

yes

[main jewel]

only confidence here!

[visual mortar]

not nervousness allowed

[tribal garnet]

xDDD

[visual mortar]

you better be fully confident in everything you do

if i sense a tiny speck of weakness you're DEAD

[main jewel]

true

[tribal garnet]

sadly i cant change my name to fully confident Handywork, i would have done it otherwise

so like the servernickname

[main jewel]

its okay

[astral otter]

"next week the quiet weather in the Zone won't be so calm"

Wonder if it's just weather stuff, or an emission related questline or something

Tbh I just really want thick silent-hill-style fog,
but that's arguably "calm"

[shell flax]

I think you’re the only one to notice that lmao

[astral otter]

Jay still cares.

[marble gyro]

For fucking real man!!

Man I was waiting for someone to catch that

[shell flax]

Gonna be neat to see

[marble gyro]

Juat have to wait till next week

Meaning more work, and more distancing myself from the world, to connect with nature

I hope this next update, fixes the ghost effect on console

[burnt bridge]

I think we saw it but

[dusky anchor]

@burnt bridge did u try gamma?

[burnt bridge]

I’d love to

[dusky anchor]

stalker is the best fps single player triology

i love it, I remember playing Anomaly during quarantine

[burnt bridge]

You have a spare pc?

[dusky anchor]

no haha

[main jewel]

dont fall to gamma..

[night cave]

I’m about to start my first playthrough of Clear Sky. This is the only S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that I haven’t even touched

[main jewel]

the start is gunna be slow and boring but just get outta the swamps

[night cave]

It’s fine

[main jewel]

https://klipy.com/gifs/kaguya-derp

[night cave]

Wow lol. I wish I had a pc tho so I could play GAMMA

[main jewel]

[night cave]

What? You don’t like gamma? It looks like a game I’d love. It’s everything that I love about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[main jewel]

gamma is more of a sandbox than anything, not stalker

[night cave]

That’s fair, why do you say it’s not stalker though?

[bronze moat]

I was lowkey playin stalker man 2, and I felt like playin stalker man shadowman of chernoblr. Is it a banger game or naw

[night cave]

Yes

[bronze moat]

imma try it

[night cave]

It’s great, I didn’t love the endgame tho but it was still fun

[main jewel]

well stalker is more of a story driven type game, and gamma is more of a survival sandbox thats just built off of a foundation, theres so many random things that are out of place in gamma, such as being a monolith (this has ruined the community in so many ways of their perception vs what the monolith actually is, the monolith realistically shouldnt be a playable faction as the monolith are just instruments that are used by the ccon, they cant think or see consciously they are brainless bodies)
theres many things like guns too like the Lebedev PL-15
you wouldnt see that in the zone or around any trader especially because they are unpurchasable and all that stuff but thats why its a sandbox

alot of the story is also written like ass

it has given many people a false sense of what the stalker games are and erm many people just dont touch the trilogy cause erm well they aint dang sandboxes

[night cave]

That’s fair, what I like about stalker has always just been the world and the atmosphere. So gamma is just about everything I like about the stalker games but improved. However I do see why you don’t like it and it giving people a false perception of stuff is lame

[main jewel]

also technically speaking about the pl-15 it was produced in 2022 and from sources ive seen gamma takes place around 2018

[night cave]

I just like how you don’t always feel like the world revolves around your character and it’s very unforgiving and I love that

[night cave]

I can see how that could kind of break immersion

[main jewel]

i enjoyed it as a sandbox but it does get quite boring but it has always given people a false idea

and it will stillll continue to do that

especially about the factions too

id say if you wanna play gamma you should play the trilogy first

[night cave]

That sucks. Well I’m glad I’m kind of forced to learn all the normal stalker stuff first but I still think I’m going to adore gamma

[night cave]

Well I don’t think I have much of a choice haha

[main jewel]

you are on the evil playstation

[night cave]

Yes 😭

[main jewel]

you should blame sony for the reason why stalker 2 on ps doesnt get a mod tab

[night cave]

Ugh that sucks

[main jewel]

they are dorks and lame people

[night cave]

I really want the mods especially for the flashlight

[main jewel]

with there policy of “oouugh safety and all that”

even with bethedsa the ps games that do have mods are very limited

like health changes

[night cave]

It’s already an adult rated game that’s lame

[main jewel]

so even if ps did get mods you wouldn’t have oxa

oxa uses eotech brand and all that sk

so

[night cave]

I hate Sony but damn their products are good. I just wish PC’s weren’t so expensive right now so I could afford one I want

[main jewel]

in my experience sonys products are quite buns nowadays but the ps5 pro is the newest console out

[night cave]

PlayStations products are really good but I will admit the PS5 pro is kind of pointless. But the PS5 and games that Sony publishes are very good

[main jewel]

ai is killing the xbox btw as the xbox is being sunsetted cause of ai tards

god i hate those people

[night cave]

Yeah Microsoft and Sony suck

[main jewel]

i might try to save for a pc

but right now my series x is what works so

[night cave]

I would but it’s so expensive and I just got fired from my old job and am trying to find a new one 😭

[main jewel]

when i get my money up ill start the saving journey

[main jewel]

true

[fickle hill]

Beware now the $700 doubloon Ram might creep up

[night cave]

And because the aforementioned ai tards I don’t think I’ll be able to get the pc I want for a while without selling an arm and a leg

[bronze moat]

whats the haps here fr

[night cave]

I got my first job late last summer and was thinking that by now I’d be getting ready to buy my first pc 😭

[main jewel]

yea

[bronze moat]

first thing imma install when I get a pc is Stalker GAMMA bc I think it looks cool. Is it a fire game or naw

[main jewel]

if this ever happens i hope ai will be the first to turn on them, ai shaping a new decade my ass

[night cave]

Lexa doesn’t like it very much lol but I think you should look into it yourself and decide for yourself

[main jewel]

its just about ruining it for us in our current decade

[night cave]

Yeah it’s barely done anything useful and much more harm than good. All I want is a PC man 😭

[main jewel]

just make sure to play the trilogy, or at least watch a few lore videos

gamma does well with ai and mutants and cause it is a sandbox im sure theres more mods you can fit onto gamma to make it look close to a better graphical experience better than stalker 2

some examples

[bronze moat]

imma go try the first game rn, and also look at some lore later. I like how base GAMMA looks like.

[main jewel]

i hope the lighting for s2 gets way better soon

[bronze moat]

Hopefully

[night cave]

Same. I also hope they make the flashlight not seem like it’s running on its last lungs all the time

[astral otter]

It's not perfect but it looks significantly better than gamma in many many ways

[bronze moat]

Also, idk if it's just a me thing. But I feel like the stamina in s2 is not staminaing imo

[night cave]

You just have to be patient and also use energy drinks

[bronze moat]

k

[night cave]

Ugh I wish I could play gamma so much. I hope it won’t be too long until graphics cards and RAM don’t need a down payment to get

[bronze moat]

I forgot bout that

[night cave]

How?!? 😭

[bronze moat]

idk, I just play my console

[night cave]

Me too but I really want a PC

[bronze moat]

my El Cinco

[night cave]

Lowk I want to do so much more than I can with my PlayStation right now

[bronze moat]

yeah

[night cave]

There’s so many games and mods etc

[bronze moat]

I'm just watching a guy rn play GAMMA on Ironman mode

[night cave]

Cool

[bronze moat]

Wish I could play fr

[night cave]

Same, but I do recommend learning all of the stalker lore first. At least play through SOC

[bronze moat]

Yeah, I'm actually gonna play that soon, just gotta buy it fr

[night cave]

I got the whole trilogy for $15 on PS

[bronze moat]

dang nice

[night cave]

Yeah for real. I had always been interested in the stalker games and wished I could play S2 and saw that the og games were on PS and eventually decided to get them

[bronze moat]

Just bought SOC 😛. Imma try it now fr

[bronze moat]

[visual mortar]

thats you

but instead of the bible its SOC

[bronze moat]

ik

[visual mortar]

pondering the scriptures

[bronze moat]

I'm just lookin at the stickers here

[visual mortar]

a faithful man

[bronze moat]

Wish I played stalker when I was a fetus

[night cave]

I’m playing through stalker clear sky for the first time and I did not expect the combat music lol

[bronze moat]

Startin on Veteran, hope I live fr

[night cave]

Do a higher difficulty

Trust me, stalker handles difficult weird

[astral otter]

Enemies are not tougher on easier difficulties. That was a myth that went around.

[bronze moat]

gng, naw

[night cave]

😭

The first mission is brutal ngl

[bronze moat]

YES, THESE GUYS TANKING LIKE 30 ROUNDS BRO

[night cave]

Headshots only, in the og trilogy everyone can take body shots kid they’re nothing for some reason lol

[robust pendant]

No, dont make it harder, what the hell

[night cave]

So be sure you aim for the head

[robust pendant]

Why would you make it harder, it's worse

[marble gyro]

In the trilogy, yes enemies damage and health damage vary on difficulty, but stalker 2 enemies just get stronger and more health the higher the difficulty

[robust pendant]

#⭐┃trilogy-general message
I mean, look at the table lol

[robust pendant]

Also, no, they dont vary in the trilogy

[bronze moat]

they all just got body armor while I just got skin

[marble gyro]

You are playing soc right?

And im assuming you went straight to the military base

Or the checkpoint

They are easy once you know how to bait them

You can kill them with the starter pistol

Aim for the head, and make sure you are at least within 50m range

Otherwise your shot will not even register to hit

Anyways if you are playing SOC, you can find a free merc suit on the roof of the building next to the northern fence

At cordon

[bronze moat]

I killed em all

[marble gyro]

Bandits or military?

[bronze moat]

Bandits, I was fine when I stole a shotgun from one's corpse

[marble gyro]

Did you get the silenced pistol?

[bronze moat]

Yeah

[marble gyro]

That's a good starting weapon, decent accuracy too

[valid jasper]

bruh why i cant load my save after playing new quests

[marble gyro]

@bronze moat but anyways yeah you can get a armor, for free if you climb the last building next to the northern fence at the main town of cordon

It's going to be in a hole on a roof

You have to Low crouch and knife the box

[bronze moat]

Why are the Banditos so mean, they killed my friends cuh

[marble gyro]

They are loners for a reason

[night cave]

I just had my break action shotgun jam, getting me killed 😭

Also why does scar have to reload so painfully slow

[marble gyro]

Clear sky?

[night cave]

Yeah

I’m trying to clear the big object camp and the game is only giving me two friendly npcs to help 😭

[night cave]

What am I supposed to do

[cyan sparrow]

What is the name of the quest mission mentioned?

[night cave]

Capture the northeastern farm

I’ve found four more friendly npcs, hopefully this’ll help

Ok I did it

[hardy totem]

Clear Sky faction wars require patience above everything else

[marble gyro]

Sometimes speed

You can't save em all

[blazing ingot]

And being poor while doing the bandit run.

[marble gyro]

It's not so bad on master, you just have to get rid of leather jacket armor immediately and upgrade your guns

[hoary crest]

Afernoon

[marble gyro]

I've been playing crimson desert like almost all night

It's a Damn good game

[stuck adder]

Noted

[plain fiber]

Once you know what you're doing, Master in the original trilogy is...honestly kind of easy.

[marble gyro]

Soc especially

Imo COP is the hardest on master

[plain fiber]

SoC is just the jankiest of the bunch.

[marble gyro]

Because enemies are like lasers on cop

[plain fiber]

Really? You can get end-game equipment right at the start provided you know where all of the stashes are.

I'm pretty sure enemy accuracy is put to 80% in every entry of the trilogy when set to Master, though I could be wrong. (I'd have to see the chart again.)

[marble gyro]

True, and the game also starts you off with a decent protective equipment

Sunrise suit, a AK and a ton of ammo

[plain fiber]

Also a Bear detector over at the Boiler anomaly.

[marble gyro]

Oh there is a glitch btw for detectors on console and maybe pc

Some will not work at all near the anomaly unless you switch detectors

[plain fiber]

In CoP? The original? I never saw a bug like that, and it's my most played entry of the trilogy.

[marble gyro]

Cop yeah

I have a recording of it too

And not original

It's the EE

[plain fiber]

That's probably why then. The original never had any kind of bug like that from what I remember.

Found it

If you wanted to like do a echo detector run, it's like virtually impossible atm until that gets fixed

It was also like 4am when I did this

Err made this I mean

[hoary crest]

Whats the premise?

[marble gyro]

Open world, actual freedom on what you want to do and how you want to do, great combat, ass story

Well so far I'm unfamiliar with BDO so story does not hook me

But the overall lore of the world and how factions work, is good

Oh and if you decide to play, just know the game has a lot to throw at you, so just go at your own pace, don't overwhelm yourself

[hoary crest]

The combat being solid is a positive, I take it that there is some degree of buildcrafting avaliable?

[hoary crest]

I will engage the big-brain

[marble gyro]

There is like valheim like building, you can craft via smithy, gear will determine your stats and bosses are dps checks

Oh and ZERO handholding

[hoary crest]

Ah, so no skill-trees or such like

[marble gyro]

Oh there are skill trees

All abilities

No passivs

Passives are mainly on armor you can run this game with no armor amd fist only

As there is a unarmed skillset

A really good one too

You have 3 characters to play as, all have their own abilities and combos

Like a devil may cry game with rpg elements

If you are familiar with games like Dragons dogma it's like that

When it comes to exploration it's like Breath of the wild TLOZ

[hoary crest]

I shall have a looksie at some gameplay

[marble gyro]

Just don't have a looksie at the reviews, because those journalists know crap about games

If you want a good reviewer that's honest with over 20hrs game, like 140+ and is still streaming it

Fightincowboy

That dude knows his stuf

[hoary crest]

Thats highly debatable given he enjoyed AC6 PVP 😂

[marble gyro]

I mean I enjoyed it

I had a good mobility build, and at times it felt like I was playing a Z.O.E. game

[bitter plover]

to be fair. most of complaints are fully valid. This is deffinitely not the case, that reviewers gave ti bad reviews bcs they are bad gamers. This game has its fair share of issues

[marble gyro]

Look at ign, look atGameSpot, and look at fextralife

[bitter plover]

Jake Baldino (gameranx) and Mortismal gaming are very objective in this

[marble gyro]

They don't talk about fundamentals, what would pull the player, nor even show they understood the game in general

The 3 I mentioned I mean

[bitter plover]

There are deffinitely some bad reviewers. But you cant put all reviwers into one bag. There are a lot of ones, that would like to praise the game, but cant, bcs it has valid issues

There is reason, why opinions are highly mixed about this game

[marble gyro]

Jake baldino, Luke Stephen's, ACG, and fightincowboy all had massively great points, showed concrete evidence that they enjoyed their time, talked about fundamentals and were honest as to why this game would be so divisive

And everyone that sees their reviews are like "oh but everyone else is saying games trash" with no explanation other than showing on screen "I have a skill issue so this game is bad"

[hoary crest]

Lookin at it, I think i'll stick to the gratuitous violence of Darktide

[marble gyro]

Like most journos, literally complained about boss battles being too hard BECAUSE THEY NEVER CHANGED STARTING EQUIPMENT

They didn't even bother to invest in upgrading, never bothered to find matching sets that give bonuses

Like.....who are these people that reviewed games, off of a 40hr impression

This game needs at least 100+ to even fully understand all the fundamentals

They even got mad that there were no indicators on whether if they were going the right direction or not

[bitter plover]

This game is MMO, but in SP. You need to level up, get better. And there is no story to guide you trough, as in Witcher or something. Story is basicaly non exisrtent. As in any MMO. Its you, your char and enemies and open world and tons of stuff to do. Its not everyones cup of tea. Some ppl will absolutely love and some will not. Its highly subjective game

[marble gyro]

Same with loz breath of the wild, a lot of people despised that game because it was too open

Only with that game, you had to motivate yourself to explore

Make goals and reach those goals

[main jewel]

i wish we had the leaderboard and visible ranks in stalker 2

[marble gyro]

This game is literally going to be a sleeper hit because the common gamer can't get their head out of their ass to count to ten every now and then

[main jewel]

imagine if we could track down high ranked people for moneys

absolute cinema

[hoary crest]

And this is why we need DayZ-like multiplayer

[hoary crest]

I don't wanna count, I wanna see heads explode, why is that so much to ask for in today's gaming landscape

[bitter plover]

[marble gyro]

You can't make heads explode in crimson desert, but you can give them the people's elbow

And a bunch of other WWE moves

[hoary crest]

That is not appealing

[marble gyro]

Suplexing, throwing people off cliffs and doing a izuna drop is not appealing? Damn

[hoary crest]

Fuckit, Ima just go play DOOM

[marble gyro]

Think I'm going to buy fallout on switch

[main jewel]

you should look at my banner

[marble gyro]

Lmao, got a chuckle off that one

[night cave]

😭

[marble gyro]

My friend had that on his Facebook page for a minute, good memories

[hoary crest]

I was expecting better tbh

[main jewel]

the 5 bone-chilling wouldnt fit

[hoary crest]

Weaksauce

[marble gyro]

Anyways, imma go play some more crimson desert while fallout downloads on me switch

[hoary crest]

Watch your fingers ma'am

[night cave]

Nothing burger with weak sauce

[hoary crest]

It do be like that

Shit tho, I could well do with a burger about now

[night cave]

Mmm burger

[hoary crest]

Damn right

Another 6hungethou calories would be put to good use about now

[night cave]

How long do you think a stalker lasts after being in the zone

Because they’re going to have some sort of radiation poisoning and they’ve been eating nothing but canned food, summer sausage, and bread for who knows how long

[dusky pawn]

its basically irrelevant
