[serene barn]

i'm not even sure which i'd want it to be more.

i remember playing some Medal of Honor game as a child and seeing the SVT in 1st person and finding it really cool looking.

[charred nova]

i mean what else could it be

if not svt or sks

[serene barn]

but in Stalker 2 it'd be compared to guns like the SVD, SVU and the Mosin.

and i'm wondering how they'd balance the gun

[dusky pawn]

Worse svd

But its gonna be an sks
Which is gonna be a...worse svd 😂

[serene barn]

where as if SKS, it would use the ammo they removed from the game

[charred nova]

also i doubt the dlc will add just one gun

[dusky pawn]

Early game guns are pointless in this game anyway cause zalissya is too small to allow for staying there longer

[charred nova]

there gotta be more than just one gun

[charred nova]

i mean they are also basically nerf guns against later game exo dudes

taking like a whole mag to down one guy

[serene barn]

i'm still hoping the RPM is good now.

i haven't played the game in a long time, only remember hearing they gave my baby more penetration but then they also got rid of the stat bar for that i think?

[bitter plover]

nothing. It has to be one of them

[charred nova]

my money is on sks since the SVD already fills the real of a SVT type weapon

though it does remove the possibility for a unique AVT 40

[bitter plover]

well. Mavka in thumbnail is holding gun and its deffinitely not Saiga. So it has to be something new and it rly looks like FAL to me

[iron wind]

when is that Xbox event?

[charred nova]

post the photo or dm it to me if you don't have perms

[bitter plover]

i think SKS too. And i would love it

[serene barn]

hopefully whatever it is, they'll also make attachments for them too

[bitter plover]

i will send it to screen and videos, so others can see it too and link mesage here

[charred nova]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQjPZN4uj-U like this would be so cool

[bitter plover]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

the foregrip just doesnt fit Saiga

[sudden rapids]

that's what she said

[dusky pawn]

Yeah they have no place
Before I exist zalissya I either cant be arsed to find them or cant run them due to lack of good income within zalissya or ammo
And after i exit I can get a 5.45 groza or kharod or sofmod or whatever else by just picking it up

[charred nova]

the only peak gun from early game is the mp5 imo

that gun is crazy good

[dusky pawn]

If I rob shach I also get the most economically viable smg in the WHOLE GAME 😂

[cyan sparrow]

The game wasn’t released in 1.0 yet

[dusky pawn]

Mp5+valik AK can sustain me basically until zaton if I rushed story

[iron wind]

well that was the official name, your opinion may differ ofc., but doubt devs care much

[dusky pawn]

Also second best shotgun before pripyat is in CORDON (not counting random ram drops)

After exiting zalissya you can legit just do a circular run from garbage to the psi unfinished building and into cordon and you get
The 2nd best smg in the game
Duty seva
3rd best shotty in the game

Also you can get a free mosin on the way in the jail with the fire polter

[cyan sparrow]

Yes, telling me pepsi is a cola may differ my opinion. Nevertheless game is unfinished currently, their codename is not aligned to numerical side.

[dusky pawn]

And you just got 3 guns that you could use for basically half the game 😂

I really dont understand why they didnt include cordon in the starting area

I know there are some semi dangerous things there like the merc camp near X entrance and the controler but they arent that big of a deal and they are quite hidden

[bitter plover]

Exactly

[charred nova]

like it got massively buffed for seemingly no reason

[ruby gale]

An mp5sd would be nice

[harsh jungle]

idk how to attach a meme to my stuffed dog

[brisk flare]

Does anyone have an ida when we will finally see 1.9 ?

[visual mortar]

no idea

[sudden rapids]

in 5 minutes

[brisk flare]

Cant wait that long

[visual mortar]

well it's been almost ten im sure you can

[iron wind]

can wait for DLSS5 in Stalker 2

[zinc cave]

The next update probably won’t even be 1.9 seeing that Molt already said that they wrongly hyped us up for it.

[charred nova]

I just realized the silly guy we made fun of earlier for being a baby blocked me lmfao

[main jewel]

WHATTTT

[charred nova]

are you able to read his profile

cus i can't anymore lol

[craggy sphinx]

Does the trailer drop tomorrow? During the Xbox event? 👁️👄👁️

[charred nova]

on the 26th yes

https://tenor.com/view/yes-agree-yup-nod-gif-15888823994650538985

[craggy sphinx]

Thanks for the quick answer haha! I’m so excited!! 😆

[charred nova]

hopefully its finally some long awaited good news

[craggy sphinx]

Hopefully! I’ve stopped playing for now until the new update, friendly fire and bullets thru walls was annoying me lol 😂

[visual mortar]

as excited as i am to get home and wiggle my toes and twiddle my thumbs

[craggy sphinx]

You missed out picking the fluff from the belly button

[visual mortar]

and digging in my ear

[craggy sphinx]

That too! Just don’t lick your finger afterwards

[visual mortar]

true!

[craggy sphinx]

You guys are funny I love it haha

[visual mortar]

i have a big problem with clearwig moths

they keep flying through my window

panzersushi93

[burnt bridge]

is typing…

[frozen crown]

What Faction has a sort of blue tint to their camo? MERCS?

[rose void]

Hey GSC if you can see this. Please make grabbing the wierd artifacts from Arch anomalies more easy. I thought something was wrong with my keyboard but it's not that. Every "weird* artifact is difficult to pick up but everything else is not. I press the f key over and over again and it does not work. Yet everything else in the game is fine. It's only the "weird" artifacts where this happens.

[frozen crown]

Are MERCS naturally hostile to you in this game?

[carmine star]

yes except a few encounters

[burnt bridge]

Yeah not other stalkers tho lol

[frozen crown]

thank chrsit- I thought Id messed up somewhere and acidentally shot one.

There's loads in Cordon

[carmine star]

hehehe no, shoot on sight. Few encounters they are "chill" until they are not wink wink

[robust pendant]

It'll be better if you actually contact gsc, they wont see it here: #s2-support

[craggy sphinx]

I downloaded a mod that comes with badges to help me understand who is who if that helps, no achievements if you’re on console though sadly when you use mods

[frozen crown]

I on PC mate- do you have the link for that mod?!

[craggy sphinx]

I don’t but if you go on the main menu and click mods it should be on there, I’ve forgot what it’s called lol

[frozen crown]

main menu for what mate?

I take it the mod works too yeah?

[craggy sphinx]

The game menu when you first load it up

[craggy sphinx]

Yeah it does

[frozen crown]

I don't have a "mods" that comes up on the main menu on PC?

[craggy sphinx]

Oh I thought it was the same for PC, I’m not sure then, I’m sure someone who plays it on pc can tell you sorry I’m not much help

[frozen crown]

If you remember or if anyone else knows could you let me know please?

[burnt bridge]

I think they are talking about finding patches on the loot

[craggy sphinx]

Yeah I am, but it helps you identify them especially if you’re new like me lol

[burnt bridge]

Oh right wasn’t sure if mesh thought you were talking about like a tracker that shows what faction your looking at

But lootable zone adds patches and a mod from @wild wing adds patches I’m sure there’s a few

[south parcel]

I'm stalkin it

[marble gyro]

I'm hacking and wacking and smacking

Chopping that meat

[frozen crown]

Oh cool cheers- I'll have a look for it. Are there no Faction ID mods so you can see what Faction NPCs are from a distance?

[burnt bridge]

Pc overlords would have to answer that

[frozen crown]

I see @wild wing just has one mod

[main jewel]

uh if you just went through the trouble with the bolt

or the ball

they are supposed to be hard to grab

[marble gyro]

Ball is easy, just grab it once you are like behind the Vehicle that's next to it

But I will say the prompt does show up a bit late as there is positioning involved

The prompt to grab artifacts imo, should have the Box to where the it shows up as interactive a bit larger so the prompt would show up when you are looking the general direction of said artifact

[ruby gale]

"Weird water"

[vivid valve]

Any guesses on when this upgrade and DLC will launch?

[marble gyro]

Yeah, we already have a date, it's on the roadmap

It even includes new swords and cosmetics

Best of all we get a dragon mount

[vivid valve]

Lmao

Cd was mid as hell

What a letdown

[marble gyro]

That's cool man, I'm enjoying it, I currently have like 20hrs in, unlocked the second character and now I understand that the game is a direct sequel to bdo

[vivid valve]

I have like 60 hours in, but I’m glad you enjoyed it

[marble gyro]

Did you get your dragon mount?

I did

[vivid valve]

Yeah, I got it with the hour cool down and all I’m taking a break from it as much as I like the IDEA of the game it’s story and side quest are boring, but again I appreciate what they’re trying to do

[marble gyro]

Sad to say that kliff acts exactly like his npc self in bdo

Still blows my mind were are even playing as a greymane

When they were like a sub par faction in bdo

[vivid valve]

Yeah, I never played that horrible cash grab MMO so I wouldn’t know

[wild wing]

whats mid about it

oh the story

yea if game has sick mechanics and also an amazing story then this game is impossible it seems

[still current]

[whole chasm]

Go touch some grass, game launched 6 days ago and you already put 60 hours into it? Ofc ur bored

[marble gyro]

Cash grab? Lmao there is zero p2w in bdo

It's more of an actual grind fest

[ruby gale]

[stuck moon]

fax

[marble gyro]

10hrs a day is crazy work

Unless you are like actually working then 10 a day 4 days a week Is a good schedule

[ruby gale]

Maybe more hours put in on the weekend?

[vivid valve]

I had time off to burn. I was off the past week basically

10 hours on a new release is nothing lol

[marble gyro]

Damn dawg, I can't stand sitting down for more than an 1hr

[vivid valve]

Yeah, I walk nearly 20 miles a day for a living so I love sitting down every chance I get

[marble gyro]

Same man, I have to be up and attem in the mods, can't stop moving, when I do I fall asleep

[fiery ibex]

Hello, will mods ever come to ps5

[fiery ibex]

Answer me, wise one

[marble gyro]

Gsc says "Eventually"

[main jewel]

okay so heres the run down

when it comes to mods for consoles sony becomes an absolute pussy scaredy cat so even if yall get mods they will be very limited too health changes or damage changes n stuff

example is yall could get better ballistics but not OXA, oxa has many brandings like eotech and vortex and trijicon and erm they dont wanna deal with that stuff incase like trademarks and copyrights and all that bum stuff… really you cant have custom assets orrr things that are totally game changing so yall wouldnt get anything cool

no custom scripts either

xbox gets most of the freedom tho

[smoky hawk]

hopefully not

[main jewel]

yall might as well as never have mods basically

[main jewel]

the hate will never stop

[smoky hawk]

only when Im dead

[main jewel]

true

then youll rise up to hate again as a ghost

[smoky hawk]

not a bad end

I should ahte more so I rise up as a ghast

[main jewel]

youll be a spirit cause you never fulfilled your goal to hate till the end of time

[marble gyro]

@hoary crest this song is a vibe man man, like imagine you are just driving at night, lights passing you, no cars on the road and you fucking floor it while listening to this song https://open.spotify.com/track/27Vl9i12stfmNSCZmIN80o?si=HQEp6ASuRcOY2ARH8yqVyA

I may or may not have done that recently in my brother's Impreza sti

[rustic mountain]

am i just not seeing something but why cant i save when i have mods

[marble gyro]

What difficulty?

[rustic mountain]

i think i miss clicked rookie maybe

[shell flax]

Did you select expedition mode

[rustic mountain]

no

[shell flax]

Is the save corrupted

[rustic mountain]

it says that when i try to quick save

[marble gyro]

Mod may either corrupt your file, or you have a mod that adds realism effect to where you cannot save via certain circumstance that the mod require you to be in

[shell flax]

Saves fucked

[marble gyro]

So Essentially maybe it's a forced expedition mode

[rustic mountain]

so just try different mods

[marble gyro]

Try to go to town, and see if you can save there

[shell flax]

Did you put any conflicting mods on

[rustic mountain]

i did wont let me

[shell flax]

Sin they just said they get a message the save is corrupted when they try and quick save

[rustic mountain]

i dont think so at least from what i looked at. ill just try reinstalling the mods

[marble gyro]

I missed that, hold up I got a 25 second delay

[rustic mountain]

im not that far in the modded run anyway lol

[shell flax]

Quite honestly the save is likely porked unless you can reload one from further back

[marble gyro]

Porked like a piece of burnt bacon yo

[shell flax]

Hey at least there’s that lmao

I lost a save nearly 120+ hours in once

[rustic mountain]

im like 20 mins lol

[shell flax]

Because my dumbass slapped like three conflicting mods on and it shit itself irreparably

[marble gyro]

Skill issue

https://tenor.com/view/goodfellas-laugh-liotta-gif-13856770980338154376

[shell flax]

Manifesting the most mildly tedious day possible for you tomorrow

[marble gyro]

I don't work tomorrow so I'll be asleep lol

5 DAYS OFF YEEEEE

[shell flax]

Who said I meant work related

[marble gyro]

Either way, I'll be asleep through it

I've been running on a maximum of 10hrs this week

[south parcel]

A legitimate business man sent me an email saying he has gauss rifles for sale in the dark valley

[marsh granite]

im playing soc with compatibility modpack and i thought zcp was supposed to fix all the major bugs but im seeing things like grenades being dropped as items whenever an npc throws them and i can never help up an ally with a medkit they just stay down no matter how many i give

all i did to install was drag the gamedata folder into the stalker directory like it said to, did i do smth wrong

[marble gyro]

Just play SoC vanilla

Works for me

[marsh granite]

[robust pendant]

Afaik, zrp fixes a lot of stuff, but also adds/removes a couple of stuff unnecessarily. And it doesnt seem to fix everything.
Playing vanilla is fine. Not bugless, but fine

Although, this may be because of that compatibility repack? But idk, never seen it

[marsh granite]

are there any other vanilla esque improvement mods?

[robust pendant]

What is your biggest gripe with the game? Bugs, textures, guns?

Your answer will change mine, as there are quite a couple.
Ping me when you answer pls

[marsh granite]

mostly bugs, i can deal with the guns and textures being outdated. if i want smth to look more modern ill play anomaly

im js tired of the vanilla experience being a crash every few minutes

[robust pendant]

Well, anomaly doesnt have a good story, so theres that

But its weird that you are crashing so much. Could you send the log to #🔩┃trilogy_modifications ?
It's located on the game files, appdata, logs, xray_name.log.

Of course, send it right after you get a crash

But zrp is the best thing for bug fixes really

[astral otter]

Steam version? And what OS? I haven't had this issue.

[main jewel]

i just learned the catfish in chernobyls cooling pond and rivers n stuff are like gigantic

huggeee catfish

[hoary crest]

Mutant catfish

They make TV shows on that ya know 😄

[fallen latch]

metro reference???

[hoary crest]

Not quite lmao

[marble gyro]

You never seen river monsters?

He went to the border of the chernobyl exclusion zone, and he fished the bank, caught some weird fish

Imagine fighting this lunker

I'll tell you Hwhat you can't use no 20lb tess on this sucker

[hoary crest]

These things apparently eat people's kids an dogs in some parts of the world

Even in the UK there are places you can watch catfish eat pigeons

Greedy bastards

[marble gyro]

That's rad

[main jewel]

@median sapphire do you think youll be able to add some of these suckers in your fishing

mod

or uu

part of the mod

[marble gyro]

Kynes peace.............

Bruh it's all about the Krii shout

Aka marked for death

KRII LUN AUS

[burnt bridge]

Sorry please sustain from posting animal cruelty in the general chat

can thus fwiggin update come already

[jolly berry]

Tsar Fish lol

[sterile radish]

lmao

[quasi thunder]

do the journalist stashes add any ar's to the game? followup question would be, whats the best general use ar?

[marble gyro]

Yes, one of them I know off the top of my head has a Monolith ar416

Personally I just use the riemann

[forest ingot]

So, today's the day I'm supposed to finally receive my 2024 Christmas gift aka the Stalker physical collector edition. What a ride it was.

Only 1 year 4 months late.

[cyan sparrow]

Only

At this point there should be recompense

[bitter plover]

ngl, the company making them rly did badly from time perspective

[marble gyro]

Even so, people are not recieving their game with their ultimate edition

[quasi thunder]

i mean, i get being impatient, but... i think its just amazing that they are managing to ship them at all

[bitter plover]

and were they even supposed to?

[marble gyro]

Yeah, it's included

[bitter plover]

Well, i know. Im just asking, if they maybe get the only habar version without game

[marble gyro]

Ouch, to spend that much and not get the game, is like a huge slap to the face

Company can get sued that way

[bitter plover]

no, i mean there is literaly version without the game. So what i mean is, if they bough the version, where the game is rly supposed to be part of. And not just the item non game version

If it is the version, where game should be, then yeah. That is huge problem

[lethal violet]

The Dev team having more freedomers than dutyers.... heartbreaking

[marble gyro]

It should still come with a digital code

I'm not seeing a version where it doesn't come with a game in general

[marsh iron]

https://finalbossbundle.com/products/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl-ultimate-edition-no-game

[bitter plover]

The ultimate habar pack, that is on their website sold by game legends has literaly line "except the game itself". It contains everything, even steelbook, but not the game code

[marble gyro]

Ahh I see it now

[bitter plover]

yeah. Same here. No game

[marble gyro]

....yeah no, 399 for just items, is a no in my book

[bitter plover]

Thats why im saying, that if it this version. It does not contain code

[proven hollow]

Are we all ready for the stream tomorrow announcing Stalker 3: Duty Boogaloo?

[bitter plover]

And ppl just did not read

[bitter plover]

i agree. But it is what it is

[bitter plover]

oh hell yeah

[marble gyro]

I mean I spend money on useless stuff a lot, but getting something for collectors only, I draw the line there

Like I want to play the game, so I buy the game

[proven hollow]

taking about spending money, any good games i should pick up in the steam sale?

got KCD2, star wars jedi bundle and anno 117 in my cart now

[bitter plover]

Well. Many ppl already had the game, but didnt were able to buy collectors stuff, so they were happy, that they can buy this. BUt it should be little cheaper

[marble gyro]

Division 2

For 3.99 yeah

Definitely worth

Fallout new vegas

Vampyr

[proven hollow]

hmm, story games please, no looter shooters, ain't got time for those anymore

[marble gyro]

Metro

Okay

Metro
Vampyr
Fallout new vegas

And I dunno if you will like jedi survivor

[bitter plover]

I would say Indy Jones. It was stellar. BUt the sale is small on that

[marble gyro]

But for that price is a steal

[proven hollow]

yeah jedi survivor and jedi fallen order are in that jedi bundle for only 9,16

[proven hollow]

already played through that one in the xbox gamepass, that was a good game

[marble gyro]

Worth

[proven hollow]

vampyr actually looks interesting as well

[marble gyro]

You could play RE3 but that's up to you

[bitter plover]

yeah. Same. As someone, who loves Indy movies. i was so happy with this game

[marble gyro]

Okay so As I have played vampyr for about 75hrs

The choices are extensive and engaging

[proven hollow]

yeah it feld straight up as if you were playing in a movie

[marble gyro]

There are like 7 endings I believe

[bitter plover]

exactly. All the jokes were exactly the same vibe. WHole game just felt like it would fit in trilogy

[marble gyro]

All have to do with what you consume as a vampire

You can collapse strong communities

Betray

It's by the most intense RPG I have ever played

Now combat, it's okay

But the meat is the story, the voice acting and the setting

Nier automata is a fantastic game

[proven hollow]

i never got far in nier automata, the combat is just not up my alley

[marble gyro]

Ah that's fair

But yeah man, I highly recommend vampyr if you want a good story

If you want a sandbox

[proven hollow]

no ty 😛

[marble gyro]

HITMAN world of assassination for 2.99 IS A STEAL

[proven hollow]

ooh sandbox like that

[fiery ibex]

When are mods coming for stalker 2 on ps5

[proven hollow]

i thought you meant crafting open world sandbox that come a dime a dozen

[marble gyro]

I told you, TBD

[proven hollow]

when sony gets a proper policy on mods

[marble gyro]

No no no

[fiery ibex]

What’s that???

[carmine star]

Tba

[fiery ibex]

????

[carmine star]

To be announced

[fiery ibex]

Oh ok

[proven hollow]

ok, but the page does say that the 2.99 version doesn't include that freelancer mode

[marble gyro]

Freelancer was a free update

Should be included

[proven hollow]

steam page says it isn't included

[carmine star]

It's a whole verifying process they have to set up just like with xbox

[proven hollow]

you need the 27.99 version for it

[marble gyro]

NO WAY THEY SEPARATED IT????

Oh man IO you sneaky dogs

[proven hollow]

also only seems to have like 25% of the missions

well 35%

[marble gyro]

That's wild

So freaking wild

[proven hollow]

but does it also include all those hitman 3 missions?

[marble gyro]

The 27.99 one?

It looks like it

And it has freelancer

But wtf

WHERE IS HITMAN 2???

Fuck it man

Get Hitman blood money for 99 cents lmao

Actually you can get all hitman games like the original ones for under $10

[proven hollow]

appearantly i already have a lot of those, must've been a humble bundle at some point or something

[marble gyro]

Oh nice

I have them all on gog

But I exclusively play Contracts and blood money

But other than that, this steam sale is kinda ass

Alright Starfield acquired

Now to wait for the 7th to play it

[bitter plover]

im also curious how the update will change it. Recently did something like marathon of Fallout games and also played skyirm, so i got myself into bethesda style games (even when i always dislike it). So im curious, if i will be ok with it or not. I tried it after release and was rly put off by so many loading screens.

[lament mortar]

What is the gentlemen's opinion on Marathon?

[carmine star]

No idea, i like extraction shooters but dont really have to will to play it.

[sturdy verge]

SKS when 😄

[charred nova]

The council has decided you have failed the vibe check and will be unmodded at the next meeting following these events

[proven hollow]

moderators here being appointed based on vibes explains so much

with every post mol1t becomes more based tbh

[eternal mountain]

how come

[proven hollow]

'cause he knows this chat will have people complaining about yet another announcement telling nothing about updates, yet he keeps at it

[eternal mountain]

true true

[bitter plover]

He just doestn care

chad behaviour

[charred nova]

It’s so funny because the other social platforms have all commented on the coming dlc trailer that drops tomorrow

Except discord for some reason

[carmine star]

gets paid either way lol

[charred nova]

I just wanna know what 2 guns appear in the Xbox thumb nail

Both appear to be new weapons not in stalker 2

[stuck grove]

another announcement ping from GSC
maybe new patch release
just another lore dump

[charred nova]

Resist mol1t’s rage baiting

The dlc trailer is tomorrow

[proven hollow]

Release date: Q4... 2027

[eternal mountain]

honestly dont mind waiting, it just better be good

good progress will bring back players, doesnt have to be trickle fed with minor updates

and it really bugs me that with every major update, a new game ruining bug was added

its almost like they rush it out only to get bombarded with hate comments cus they didn't playtest their game properly

[floral elm]

@grandpaofcampers patch will be released at the begg8ning of april (gsc answers)

[sage dew]

... about the day of the securty of ukraine. Arent the soldiers in original STALKER series just that? xD are we massacring those forces as Strelok and Scar?

[charred nova]

That tracks

It was rougher than most during testing I’ll say

[bitter plover]

Molit just loves to blueball ppl

[still current]

Yeah

Mostly first week

[charred nova]

I’m tempted to ask him about the guns in the thumb nail

[still current]

No. Either way, the ipsf change is exactly there to clear out such confusion

Degtyarev was originally a military stalker (stalker who works for the military) until he became a security service and ended up being a colonel after cop

Security service members are rare in trilogy

You cam only find those in CoP cuz they were investigating the helicopters crashes/stuck post operation fairway

[charred nova]

Then they were written out of stalker 2

[still current]

I think duty founder was security service tho

[bitter plover]

you are sooooo much derailed by not knowing it, arent you

[charred nova]

I’m foaming at the mouth I must know

[bitter plover]

now imagine, that trailer wont show a shit and you will be still in unknown

[still current]

Yeah. They are now ipsf, a while new org independant from the actual military

[timid aurora]

So.. who all came here thinking there was an update?

[charred nova]

Someone brought up that it could be the sg550 but the knob is different

My money is it being the sr9

[charred nova]

We are getting rage baited but tomorrow the dlc trailer drops

[bitter plover]

nah, that looks too much different

[bitter plover]

yeah. That looks simmilar. But idk. I would be surprised, that they would put in gun like that

G3 or FAL would be much more reasonable.

[charred nova]

Yah it’s not a great fit considering it would just be another m14 type dmr

[timid aurora]

Seems like every month is Ukraine day. My condolences but damn, I honestly thought there was an update lol

[bitter plover]

yeah

[charred nova]

This looks more promising

[bitter plover]

it rly does

[charred nova]

I pray that’s what it is

That would be insanely based

[charred nova]

Gsc has always done this it’s extremely annoying

[timid aurora]

No offense to them but if I wanted a history lesson I’d Google it :/

[charred nova]

We’ve told them for years now but they never listen so we just except it

[marble gyro]

Morning

[bitter plover]

I think it could be 3

The gun Zulu has IS NOT a pkm

The picture doesn’t show enough to figure out what it might be but

It doesn’t really look like anything currently in the game

who knows

so 7.62x39 making a comeback?

[bitter plover]

i guess yeah

or they will change its ammo type

[charred nova]

I hope not

That would be dumb

[wary heron]

Akm would be a good fit

[charred nova]

Can’t be any ak

They all have front mounted iron sights

Which would be visible

Unless it’s an ak15

Or a variant of that

They don’t have front mounted iron sights

[wary heron]

It actually looks like a flash hider of an m16

Could be a 556 gun

[proven hollow]

imagine if that new trailer was just 10 seconds long, just the five seconds we already have with a slowly zoomed in stalker 2 logo after it

[charred nova]

Could be but would be very unlike duty

[bitter plover]

that would, yeah

[charred nova]

As freedom uses nato guns and duty uses Soviet block guns

DUDE

it could be the semi fictional rpk 16

[bitter plover]

What if M249 with long barrel . But that would be more on freedom site, than with Zulu

[charred nova]

Dude I’m convinced now it’s the rpk 16

[proven hollow]

what if just an M60

[charred nova]

[bitter plover]

ngl, it could be

[charred nova]

It checks all the boxes

Longer barrel check no front irons check flash hider check

[bitter plover]

nah. Its long ass barrel without anything, than flashhider. Thats not M60

[charred nova]

It’s also gotta be from the Soviet block

Zulu wouldn’t break character like that

[bitter plover]

yeah

[main jewel]

can we have this guys

if they only add one gun too erm the dlc i might be a little sad

[charred nova]

It’s at minimum 2 but possibly 3

Both the guns in the Xbox thumbnail appear to be new weapons

[vocal trench]

add the more futuristic version of the sig 550 with the grey boxy sa 58 style stock. and this psg as a unique version

[charred nova]

Zulu I think has a rpk 16 and Mavka has a fal or g3

[charred nova]

We looked into that it doesn’t match the photo

It’s got too many visual differences

It’s either the g3 if the blur near the hand guard is a charging handle

If it’s not a charging handle it’s a fal

next announcement is the dlc trailer

coming tomorrow

Surely they wouldnt notify almost 130 thousand people if its not about the game!

Lots of videos posting it

reddit very well could be right

doesn't mean gamma will be good though

[cyan sparrow]

no

[wheat void]

The MERCs are invading the Cordon! Sidorovich needs your credit card information to help fund supplies and equipment for the rookie village!

[cyan sparrow]

it will neva neva be good, however finished before S2 a tad embarrassing

[wheat void]

Wait what

Gamma isnt good? Why do I even bother playing it if it sucks?

Is there some sort of feud between Official Stalker and Gamma that I'm unaware of?

[visual mortar]

beats me. maybe you like smashing your balls with a rock

[wheat void]

I'm just used to dying a lot in games

[cyan sparrow]

Tom and Jerry type relantionship

[wheat void]

Idk, I'd say it's really good. But it is also the exact type of game I enjoy, with the crafting progression and minor base building mixed in with a setting and game line that I love with a decent amount of added difficulty.
The only egregiously difficult thing I'd say is the meds system, but I got used to it and now I find the old healing system too easy.

I also got forced into playing tarkov by my friends a while ago, havent touched the game in years but it 100% made gamma feel easier and fair

[deft coral]

Gamma isnt Stalker and some people dislike/like that

[visual mortar]

Dario Soup

[wheat void]

So like a purist disliking modding type situation?

[robust pendant]

kind of, yeah

[deft coral]

Good soup

[robust pendant]

its also cause gamma gets real boring if you know some good story mods that have a lot of content and story

gamma is almost story-less

unless you love both worlds of course, I think cheeki breeki (youtuber) plays story mods and then gamma/another anomaly modpack from time to time

I remember liking anomaly quite a lot and then I found out about Spatial Anomaly, Vector of Alienation and some other story mods, and then I never wanted to go back to any anomaly-derivative

[hoary crest]

I will believe it when I see it, and not a moment before

[wheat void]

Yeah, it's really to each their own. I dont play gamma looking for story, thats why I play the original games.
imo Gamma does a better job of making you feel like the random a-life npc that you pass by without absolutely dogging on you, while the original games have a better story.
I often found that while I was in the in-between-missions sections of stalker 2 I was yearning for Gamma, but having the time of my life while in the story missions

[visual mortar]

also not to mention that Grok himself is extremely unlikeable

[wheat void]

Which is unfortunate, he got rid of some voicelines because he didnt like that they were anti-duty. I loved them though because it added more worldbuilding

[visual mortar]

lmao what

no way

[deft coral]

I just couldnt get into Anomaly or Gamma

[shell flax]

Isn’t he also making duty and clear sky enemies in an update as well

[visual mortar]

[deft coral]

😭

[robust pendant]

what is bro doing 💀

[visual mortar]

no way he changed the narrative because he supports duty

thats like beyond being political

[deft coral]

Unc lost it

[visual mortar]

thats just lame and dorky as hell

[wheat void]

god I hope not, that'd be dumb.

for the voicelines he got rid of the shittalking on both faction sides btw, but its still a shame

[shell flax]

No that’s literally something he confirmed lmao

Because… reasons?

[mild haven]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it isn't Stalker. It's just not fair to compare it to mainline Stalker, especially S2, because of how derivative it is

[visual mortar]

its not stalker

[mild haven]

Ok then

[visual mortar]

its more like a fan game where he didn't actually make any if the game and just smashed other people's work together

[shell flax]

No it very much not stalker. Too much changes from the actual games that it turns into its own thing

[mild haven]

Well, then let me raise a hypothetical

[visual mortar]

no

[wheat void]

Like vintage story and minecraft, except its not even comparable to how impressive vintage story is

[mild haven]

Idc im doing it anyway

[visual mortar]

no i just answered

[shell flax]

There is no hypothetical, Gamma/Anomaly changes and adds so many fundamental things that it has a stalker paint job at best

[wheat void]

It's really an "Oh boy! Two cakes!" situation for me

[visual mortar]

thats a fair way of looking at it

except one cake looks moldy and rancid because it was left out for a week uncovered

[mild haven]

Idk if it's an at best. I think that's probably just the accurate assessment

[deft coral]

Its just way different

[visual mortar]

also the moldy cake doesn't have any frosting

[mild haven]

I should clarify that I've never played either of them. I've watched a couple videos and only started playing Stalker with S2

[wheat void]

ok so what makes stalker, stalker that gamma doesnt do (other than the story because we already addressed that gamma has no story).

[visual mortar]

and was overbaked

and dry

[bold smelt]

gamma just isnt fun for any standard gamer

[brittle steppe]

I havent played gamma or anomoaly

[visual mortar]

and i think he put salt in it instead of sugar

[bold smelt]

what the fuсk mr piccolo

hes back from namek

[shell flax]

The story, the characters, the atmosphere

[mild haven]

This hate feels forced tho im ngl. Like if you don't like it or have criticisms that's fine but it feels like a circle jerk or inside joke atp

[visual mortar]

what the FUCK is piccolo doing here

[elfin hedge]

WTF someone i dont know

[mild haven]

Unless it is just a circle jerk / inside joke

[bitter plover]

what is embarasing about it. It was in oven for much longer and not only that, it uses Base, htat is in oven for veeery long time. Nothing embarasing about it

[brittle steppe]

i have not played stalker either

[visual mortar]

do you like moldy rancid overbaked unfrosted dry salt cake?

[shell flax]

There isn’t a ‘we addressed the lack of story’
Stalker has always been story driven, removing that already tears out a massive chunk of the games identity

[kindred fable]

Truth to that. Still waiting for them to add rivers before I start a new playthrough tho

[bold smelt]

its sort of a circlejerk but it spawned due to gamma having its OWN circlejerk about how good it was for a very long time, and the fact that gamma had become the face of the stalker series for a while without being anything like the original games, which rubs a LOT of people the wrong way, even still, after stalker 2 overtook it as the face of the modern series

[mild haven]

Ive never truly seen the cake except in passing, so I can't really say

[mild haven]

This is absolutely what I've noticed, yeah

[visual mortar]

thats good

[mild haven]

Stalker 2 falling short of expectations prompted a lot of Gamma and Anomaly glaze, which annoyed me because even I know that they're just not the same thing at the play level

If you want the Anomaly experience you can only get that with Anomaly

[brittle steppe]

i hate cake

[mild haven]

Etc etc etc

[visual mortar]

fuck you piccolo

[mild haven]

So true Piccolo

[brittle steppe]

hate you too

[deft coral]

Just play stalcraft instead !!!!

[brittle steppe]

👎

[shell flax]

I say this as someone who screws around in various standalone mods, gamma included, but it’s just a free play with a light coating of Stalker paint

[visual mortar]

i just seized and fell to the ground

[bitter plover]

It is joke, but also many ppl like gamma itself, but dislike "tourists" taht came here with it and started to push things into Stalker, that werent there before.

[brittle steppe]

im not helping you if you seize infront of me

[shell flax]

Hell, Grok completely changes a lot of lore, including adding the UN locking down the zone to explain why you can’t sell guns in base gamma

[visual mortar]

YOU CANT SELL GUNS?

[mild haven]

That's really what it is at the end of the day isn't it. Its a amalgamation of free play experiences within Stalker's setting

[visual mortar]

who the fuck is buying them then

that makes zeros sense

[mild haven]

I'm pretty sure you can't sell or buy guns yeah you just build them like it's Minecraft

[visual mortar]

what the hell

[shell flax]

I don’t think you can sell suits either iirc

[mild haven]

I've always thought that was stupid so I figured if I ever wanted the free play experience I'd just play a version of Anomaly where that isn't a thing

[brittle steppe]

yeah i want to play minecraft instead of stalker

[bold smelt]

this too

[kindred fable]

Basically, people bring their stuff into the zone and that's all they've got. So you have to scavange for gun parts and repair the broken ones instead of buying them. Just a silly justification for the gameplay that gamma has, yea. A justification for all the inventory management you have to do

[shell flax]

Reminder people became so used to gamma that they accused GSC of dumbing down the guns when Stalker 2 launched

[bold smelt]

[native idol]

Aint that the truth

[wheat void]

I feel like I atleast did say that Gamma has no story and that not why I play it.
I really like the gameplay loop that Gamma has, I feel it does a better job of letting you be in the day-to-day in the zone without having you be this insanely legendary stalker but still lets you fight a group of people alone if you play your cards right.

It sacrifices the story for the sake of gameplay, and the gameplay is very niche which is very polarizing.

[brittle steppe]

lowkey looks like tampico

[kindred fable]

I mean, not even gamma – many people played anything but original games and keep mentioning PDA chatter everywhere, for example

[bitter plover]

And also acussing it of Lacking of Hardcore Survival mechanics, that "were there before"

[visual mortar]

how the hell

who are you

what the fuck

[elfin hedge]

im never playing gamma

[wheat void]

Never told you to

[brittle steppe]

you didnt notice me aura farming near you office?

[shell flax]

The most hardcore thing we’ve got in S2 is expedition and master mode and staged reloads

[native idol]

Thats exactly why I only play the modded trilogy, without the story its just a survival sim at that point.

[elfin hedge]

yeah im just saying i dont want to 🗣️

[mild haven]

Anomaly and Gamma seem to have carried some of Stalker's reputation in the gap between the trilogy and new game, but I don't think that's any excuse for people to start conflating Stalker with what is ultimately a series of mods in a Sunrise Suit

[frozen crown]

In the side mission Unhealthy Competition ||are you meant to kill the Loners in the tunnel|| ?

[wheat void]

Yeah, exactly. That's why I like it, I love survival games and having one that is like stalker is great

[visual mortar]

yeah you did you were like "hey ironhide i heard you like stubbing your toe and punching the wall, you should play gamma it will really give you something to grind your teeth at"

[bold smelt]

||you can spare them but sidorovich gets real mad, ultimately nothing happens though iirc||

[frozen crown]

||If you kill them will all Loners shoot you on sight?||

[visual mortar]

where is the chat why is it black

give it back

i was reading that

[bold smelt]

no

[wheat void]

Ah must have been my evil twin, because I wouldnt try to force a game onto someone

[elfin hedge]

id rather stretch my toes out and pluck my pubic hairs from my ass

[bold smelt]

i dont think so,|| i spared them, but sidorovich is basically the leader of rookie loners so i doubt all would turn hostile anyway because it wouldnt really make sense||

[visual mortar]

i dont think so,

.

[bold smelt]

why are they growing there

[mild haven]

Guys there's a fire in chat wtf

[kindred fable]

You can do whatever you feel like. This quest doesn't affect anything after finishing it gameplaywise. So yeah, just roleplay as you want

[bold smelt]

it spread

[elfin hedge]

shit genetics from a Slavic origin

[mild haven]

Turn on the faucet man damn

[bold smelt]

curse of being polish

[frozen crown]

CHeers man- it was more || if all Loners will now shoot me on sight type worry!||

[mild haven]

Ok we put it out

[elfin hedge]

no polish

[native idol]

I think gamma is alright, It just feels kina empty to me without it having a real main objective/story

[brittle steppe]

thank god nemekians dont have hair

[frozen crown]

Is the ONLY way to repair weapons/clothing Technicians? NO other way?

[wheat void]

Curse you Xob!
But yeah, Ig to end it off. The official games are the place you go for the authentic stalker experience and lore. If you want a sandbox of the original trilogy with bare minimum story play anomaly. if you want a survival sim in the stalker setting with very poor lore but good survival sim gameplay, Gamma.
Each serve their own purpose, it's best to keep them separate so that people can choose what they like.

[visual mortar]

yeah but you're GREEN

[brittle steppe]

yeah and your pasty white go outside

[visual mortar]

yeowch....

[brittle steppe]

sorry that was mean i will go back to training

[mild haven]

Piccolo show us the fit

[harsh jungle]

uh what’d I walk into

[brittle steppe]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dragon-ball-piccolo-yes-we-see-the-fit-BGpC394SUodlp8T6NE

[wheat void]

I would try roleplaying with gamma, if you want to make your own story but other than that yeah its empty story-wise

[visual mortar]

you didn't walk anywhere this is an internet chat

you quite literally didn't move

[kindred fable]

No, no other way, afaik

[mild haven]

He's got that shit on tho

[wheat void]

Stalker vs. gamma conversation with Piccolo side-plot

[harsh jungle]

bro I was doing shit

[visual mortar]

woah why were you doing shit

thats so freaking gross man

[harsh jungle]

I’m on the stalker side

[harsh jungle]

I was knitting and doing diamond art

[wheat void]

Fair, cant have gamma without stalker. because thats just a slightly less bs tarkov

[frozen crown]

is the ANY point smashing wooden boxes as none of them have anything inside?

crates

[marble gyro]

Molit also said one more day for Details of dlc

Doesn't mean release date, just details in a xbox showcase most likely

[wheat void]

Doesnt deluxe edition get all dlc? I dont remember

just wondering if I'm going to have to pay more money on top of the like 750$ I've already spent on stalker 2

[marble gyro]

No

Only ultimate gets the season pass

[wheat void]

Yeah thats what I meant

imagine spending 750$ and not getting the ultimate edition

[mild haven]

I wonder if I should get the DLC when that drops

In, yknow, 2 years

[marble gyro]

Depending on the version you got

[wheat void]

I cannot wait for the sidorovich and degtyarev pin-up dlc

[marble gyro]

If you got the HABAR I just learned this that it does not include the game

[mild haven]

Just as the Zone intended

[wheat void]

Bought the ultimate edition on steam and then that second wave of ultimate physical editions

[dreamy dagger]

Because #AllLivesMatter

Racism should be kicked in the ass and thrown in the Gulag!

[visual mortar]

what

[wheat void]

gave the physical editions steam key to my roomate for his birthday

[dreamy dagger]

All
Lives
Matter

GIT IT?

[marble gyro]

Terrible joke

[visual mortar]

[wheat void]

Sorry what? I think you need to explain again

[dreamy dagger]

So lives dont matter?

[visual mortar]

[marble gyro]

No, I'm referring to what you said to tam

[frigid hill]

box3185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[visual mortar]

krezzin thinks he's clever

[hoary crest]

Makes sense, will be back tommora then

[marble gyro]

Or are you being serious?

[dreamy dagger]

Are we serious here?!?!

[visual mortar]

its impossible to take you seriously thats for sure

[wheat void]

I didnt think I'd get a bad word usage warning in a discord for a game where I can watch a dog explode

[visual mortar]

fuck

[wheat void]

Wow, abuse of power.

[visual mortar]

unfortunate bluename

[wheat void]

Just have to show us peasants that you can swear but we cant

[frozen crown]

how the hell are you meant to know WHERE you can shelter? The map only shows one- and the one it's showing is miles away in a different Zone?

[dreamy dagger]

99.8% of the time everyone here is not serious, so... MATH IS MATHING

[wheat void]

inside, the mission will change when you're safe

[dreamy dagger]

Dead game anyway

[bold smelt]

fuсk you

[frigid hill]

box3185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[marble gyro]

Just go inside a building for protection from a emission

[bold smelt]

[frozen crown]

I've just been fried doing that

[wheat void]

At what level do I get to say cursewords

[marble gyro]

And make SURREEEE IT HAS A ROOF AND ALL CLOSED SPOTS AROUND IT

[bold smelt]

[wheat void]

This makes me feel like I'm in middle school again wtf

[frozen crown]

[dreamy dagger]

Get your cock out and pitch a tent

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-face-itstommylove-stalker-stalker-2-laughing-gif-7473256316928743736

[marble gyro]

Cordon has barns, a factory, and a bunch of small houses

[wheat void]

Past the train bridge?

[marble gyro]

If you saved during a emission, you are fucked my friend

[main jewel]

its takes deggy 2 hits to kill a chimera with his knife but skif has to hit the chimera 30 times for it to die

[frozen crown]

Ah, it's cool lol- I ran TOWARD the emission and am now ok in the Northen Chweckpoiint little building!

[wheat void]

Emissions have directions they come from?

[visual mortar]

C

[wheat void]

Deggy has those drugs he got from the scientists south of Yaniv

[main jewel]

hilo

[main jewel]

nah

skif is just weak

[dreamy dagger]

This is why I dont play STALKER 2

[marble gyro]

Time to go to the store and get myself a brand new cherry picked 45-50 lever action rifle

[main jewel]

[marble gyro]

45-70*

[wheat void]

That too, got hit with the Henry of Skalitz patent pending cliff of instant weakness and combat amnesia

[marble gyro]

Oy vey I'm still tired

[main jewel]

deggy was like 7 when he had to evacuate

dang deggy is like pushing 50

or hes already there

[frozen crown]

Yeah, they originate in the North. Above the local Greggs.

[wheat void]

Deggy strangles a chimera as part of his morning routine, pripyat will do that to you

[main jewel]

deggy is 43

in stalker 2

[wheat void]

Deggy is approaching silver fox stage

[main jewel]

it would be kinda cool to visit deggys original home in pripyat

[wheat void]

it would, most I found was that nerd in the tower who knew too much

What do you all think the dlc is gonna be?

I'm hoping for something Freedom/Duty related, maybe a battle for rostock

[bitter plover]

me?

[main jewel]

he doesnt wanna do that to you
