[smoky hawk]

seeing Grok laugh at a mod maker in his face that hes still gonna use his mod regardless and that its dumb that the mod maker didnt make his mod for gamma is funny

[cyan sparrow]

Bruh

[smoky hawk]

but all the same

[lyric viper]

guys How much do you think the Cost of hope DLC will cost?

[pearl atlas]

I don't know what AMK did, I'm talking about original games.

[smoky hawk]

I like my mod makers like I like my COC
DEMOSFEN

[vapid galleon]

are you hating on grok or gamma?

[small quest]

30 coupons

[mighty violet]

how about both

[slow crypt]

Is there a difference?

[vapid galleon]

yes

[smoky hawk]

I replied to your comment on the perception that GAMMA fucking with peoples thoughts on Alife

[smoky hawk]

I dont like both

[vapid galleon]

diffff

[marble gyro]

Screw grok

[vapid galleon]

pc lover uses console

[marble gyro]

Screw gamma

[vapid galleon]

bolt?

[mighty violet]

spit your shit indeed!

[cyan sparrow]

Yes

[marble gyro]

Nut

[gloomy hill]

Yeah ChatGPT is better

[vapid galleon]

[mighty violet]

ew, Claude

[vapid galleon]

lets gooo

[cyan sparrow]

That is shocking to say.

[pearl atlas]

there are alterations to A-Life in Anomaly/GAMMA, so it's partly true. but the basics of the global simulation were already in SoC.

[eternal trellis]

ew AI

[gloomy hill]

Google ai

[mighty violet]

Claude > Gemini > Grok > ChatGPT (imo)
i still hate AI but like on a moral basis this is my ranking

[gloomy hill]

Why people hating ai I don’t understand

[smoky hawk]

yes, many a mod reimplemented AMK's tweaked scripts from an earlier Build of SOC where Alife was a lot fuller, the release of SOC had come with a cut in its Alife system due to performance constraints, AMK is the originator of many a modernly used mechanics in the scene

[pearl atlas]

and by "basics" I mean online/offline modes.

[vapid galleon]

ARMAGEDDON

[smoky hawk]

it is monumental

but very few people actually know about it

[mighty violet]

enviromental impact and bad CEOs

[smoky hawk]

its quite sad

[gloomy hill]

Bro the only reason why Im still in university it’s ai 😭

[vapid galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-bummer-disappointed-upset-disappointing-gif-22437116

[marble gyro]

Ai steals art

[slow crypt]

Because its purpose isn't to help us, but to cut costs for companies by making people more replaceable in other words, it doesn't improve anyone's life, so why should we support it?

[gloomy hill]

It’s improve

For example it’s help me to learn languages

[marble gyro]

It cooked me a burger

[gloomy hill]

Not so good ofc

[marble gyro]

I asked for medium rare

[slow crypt]

You can do that without AI...

[marble gyro]

IT GAVE ME WELL DONE

[vapid galleon]

useful tool in cs sector

[gloomy hill]

Too stupid for this

[mighty violet]

use actual human tutors

[violet dune]

GROK IS THIS REEAL??????

[mighty violet]

cheaper than an AI subscription and you learn much faster

[proven hollow]

but AI keeps reinforcing my opinions in an endless loop meaning all my opinions are right and correct, what's not to like?

[slow crypt]

f you want to categorize it under subjects like medicine or programming, sure, but only to a certain extent even today, it ends up taking more time than it saves in programming (at least in my case).

[gloomy hill]

Yeah thats the problem

[smoky hawk]

paying for an AI subscription as tho you cannot use the same cash to host a private VPS server and host OpenClaw

are you fr?

[marble gyro]

You know what also helps you learn faster?

Reading a book

[gloomy hill]

Who paying for ai dude

[mighty violet]

i'm talking about human tutors though

[river harness]

Just saw the DLC trailer. Finally!

[marble gyro]

Screw them they make as much mistakes as a ai bot

[gusty nexus]

A trailer drops and I decide to download STALKER 2.
Only for Steam to tell me I can't download STALKER 2 on Linux.
What gives?

[mighty violet]

so does books, with actual human tutors you have actual ways to communicate, speak the language, way to fixes your errors and shit

[vapid galleon]

using it in all situations is for fools, but it's lifesaver when needed. I saw high school students using only chatgpt to do their code homework, sad

[pearl atlas]

enable compatibility

[odd sky]

Omg

[mighty violet]

what?
STALKER 2 download fines on linux

[sudden rapids]

wdym i have 300 + hours on linux

[gusty nexus]

The install button is greyed out for me and says "Available for Windows"

[odd sky]

Trailer is fire

[gloomy hill]

I already have book about Hungarian (Im learning Hungarian) and guess what it doesn’t helps

[slow crypt]

It has more downsides than upsides; I don't see any reason to support AI

[smoky hawk]

deserved to be frank

[pearl atlas]

go to the game's properties and enable proton experimental

[marble gyro]

You are not reading hard enough young one

[gusty nexus]

bruh
Okay that fixed it.

[gloomy hill]

Try to read on Hungarian, you will understand

[vapid galleon]

hungarian i like them

[marble gyro]

In order to understand the language, you must first challenge my rap

[last bramble]

is there a trailer with ukrainian voices? who tf plays it english?

[marble gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/parappa-parappa-the-rapper-um-jammer-lammy-chop-chop-master-onion-lammy-gif-19819556

[slow crypt]

idk i hate the british accent

[smoky hawk]

americans

[marble gyro]

Brits

[mighty violet]

i'd say the british accent is how you experience the game as an ukrainian speaker

like thats how an ukrainian speaker plays the game because they know the language

[pearl atlas]

you have no idea how dumb the "slavic accent" in games sounds to actual Slavs

[slow crypt]

I'm Romanian, so it's a bit tricky for me our language is closer to Spanish than to anything else

[pearl atlas]

what I'm saying is: it was the right decision.

[trail anchor]

So, how we feeling for the trailer? DLC looks dope

[gloomy hill]

Hey I was in Romania, very nice country

[sudden rapids]

Turkish VO when?

[marble gyro]

Fuck it, imma download dragons dogma again

[mighty violet]

us as english speakers if we know ukrainian i'd recon that we will experience the game in ukrainian like how we hear british accent in the game's english

[slow crypt]

is a nice game

[pseudo gate]

looks as good as it can get

[gusty nexus]

I'm planning on replaying the game with English dub. I done one ending back on Windows last year and honestly the Ukrainian language felt off. Like extra stiff for some reason.
It was good in cutscenes or when talking to certain NPC's but in gameplay when enemies were shouting it just felt monotone and lacked urgency.

[pearl atlas]

if they patch the game to be playable again by the time the DLC releases, I'll be happy.

even if the DLC itself is nothing special.

[trail anchor]

Wait what happened with the updates?

[mighty violet]

i just wish my RX 6600 can still carry me through the game

[pseudo gate]

thats just how we speak irl

from Ukrainian pov the voicework is good to great

[pearl atlas]

in one of the earlier patches they broke bullet trajectories, so that everything fired at a certain range hits the player automatically.

[slow crypt]

I'd say the dubbing is a bit odd overall

[soft gust]

Will the DLC be after the ending or during the story?

[pseudo gate]

cant remember better UA voicework in any game that ive played

[sudden rapids]

from non ukrainian pov it's good too

[gloomy hill]

Ukrainian voice in s2 is amazing

[mighty violet]

durign the story, presumed to be after sircaa

[trail anchor]

Ah, okay, yeah hopefully it's addressed in the upcoming patch

[pseudo gate]

during the story, if yuou remember D4 is broken sometime post siirca, this is that story

[soft gust]

Alright, thank you

[pearl atlas]

as a Ukrainian, I have a lot of issues with Ukrainian dub in S2.

[pseudo gate]

rly?

[gloomy hill]

Yeah, you can literally take quests from Duty to eliminate Freedom squad

[pearl atlas]

yeah. Scar's VO in particular is unbelievably annoying to listen to.

[pseudo gate]

this DLC is about their divorce hehe

[eternal trellis]

i can slime out freedom ✌️

[mighty violet]

i never bothered to go to the duty base like theres no reason to in my playthrough

[spark pond]

So, to sum things up, they’ve rolled out another story‑centric trailer, and once again the emergent systems that actually made the series special seem to be taking a back seat. Meanwhile, the upcoming patch looks like a token gesture to keep people occupied during another long, empty stretch. Sound about right?

[pearl atlas]

so it's a mixed bag – some characters are better in English, others in Ukrainian.

[mighty violet]

what about the child :(

[gusty nexus]

I guess I'm just used to npc's shouting in previous games compared to current relatively calm shouts.
The "Looking for cover" line is the biggest nitpick of mine. Almost robotic voice makes sense with Monolith but when all factions say the same line pretty much the same way.. lol

[mighty violet]

:(

[gloomy hill]

Very bad, because duty base is amazing

[eternal trellis]

😠

[smoky hawk]

there is tho, laugh at them

[pseudo gate]

idk i like his theatrics, clearly a theater actor at work, he is super different from everyone else and super crazy which is the point
but i understand its not for everyone, i just happen to like theater

[mighty violet]

[gloomy hill]

I don’t know why, but it have good aura (especially in rain weather)

[mighty violet]

i just found no reason to, i used a G36 in my playthrough so they don't have the ammo i use

[sudden rapids]

that's why we need turkish voiceover. it's based by nature

[slow crypt]

na

[gloomy hill]

I played with Grom-14 and Dnipro

[pearl atlas]

the problem is that his Ukrainian VO is "making a voice". I have an acquaintance who can sound just like Scar from S2.

[gusty nexus]

Like I'm not saying UK VA is bad. It just lacks a certain sense of urgency to me.
If anything I'm missing the Polish "lektor" va in STALKER 2.

[gloomy hill]

I love grenade launchers like M203

[empty hare]

So is the new DLC included in all versions of the game? Or is it part of the Ultimate/etc edition and you have to pay for it otherwise

[pseudo gate]

i like how Skif sounds a lot, one of my favorite voices

[smoky hawk]

Ultimate onwers will get the DLC free

[empty hare]

MS store doesn't say anything about price

[smoky hawk]

Ultimate owners paid for a Season Pass so they get the DLCs

[empty hare]

I have standard, im assuming itll cost extra then?

[solemn dirge]

[mighty violet]

I use the G36 and the Monolith's SVD throughout my playthrough, i can pretty much restock everything at Rostok so I found no reason to travel to the new Duty base

[smoky hawk]

youll have to buy the DLC then

[pearl atlas]

Ultimate onwers have already paid for the DLC

[slow crypt]

moneyyy for cut contennnt like some weapons

[smoky hawk]

I did say that

[mighty violet]

if i buy ultimate edition now will i get the dlc

[pseudo gate]

yes

[empty hare]

Gotcha, do we know the release date?

[smoky hawk]

one would think so

[pseudo gate]

why not
preopder was a diff think, you got a vintorez with bushes on the barrel for it

[smoky hawk]

summer

[pearl atlas]

I think not understanding the language masks some of the blemishes of voice acting.

[mighty violet]

Summer 2026 is the official statement

[charred nova]

mol1t is not happy very often

[pseudo gate]

for us or for foreginers?

[charred nova]

well he's more than earned it I HOPE

[gusty nexus]

Wonder if the Engine Upgrade will come out before or with DLC

[mighty violet]

Jack thinks it will come with the DLC

because the DLC trailer already uses the new engine version

[pearl atlas]

I just can't fathom how anyone who speaks Ukrainian can listen to Scar and not cringe.

[gusty nexus]

oh shiii

[pearl atlas]

with all due respect to his VO, who is a veteran, but his peformance was horrible.

[urban meadow]

I’m noticing that CSG loves their German guns. The HK416, G36, G3, and potentially the HK433.

[pearl atlas]

how do we know this?

[pastel token]

Germans do know how to make some pretty lit guns, tbh

[native idol]

I was wondering what the mystery sircaa gun was. Now you mention it, it does look similar to the HK433

[smoky hawk]

the german conspiracy

[slow crypt]

Either that, or it's another in-engine trailer (which won't translate to what we'll actually see in-game)

[urban meadow]

I find it funny that the majority of nato/western guns are mostly from Germany lol

[native idol]

Cuz they got that AURA

[pastel token]

as excited as I am for the new guns/attachments, still waiting on SIG 552 my beloved

[smoky hawk]

a shame they didnt keep making them in Spain

[pastel token]

also reflex sight on an SVU, seems like the attachment system is getting some major tweaks

[mighty violet]

SIG SG 550

that's the gun in the trilogy also yes i am still waiting for it

[urban meadow]

Seems they’ve been taking some notes from OXA

[pastel token]

which is very based of GSC

[urban meadow]

Hopefully they’ll rebalance the weapons as well.

[smoky hawk]

this was the plan all along looks like

[empty hare]

They were just using OXA for the teaser trailer and none of that stuff will be available in base game when it releases

[smoky hawk]

from what I can see of the leaked stuff

[empty hare]

Also did anyone else notice the floating red dot sight? Lemme find it

Oh nvm it isnt actually floating

[marble gyro]

You are talking about when the reticle splits?

[charred nova]

i can't wait till we get to test this DLC

it will likely take a whileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

assuming they even let us

[marble gyro]

If it is a engine update with it, I wonder if my pc will handle it?

[charred nova]

better

[frozen crown]

in the Death Cave side mission is it the ||SLUG|| artifact you get from the stash?

[charred nova]

hopefully

[bitter plover]

doubt that honestly

[marble gyro]

If not then it's alright

[bitter plover]

UE update should make the game easier to run, not harder

[marble gyro]

I have a brain rot game that will keep me occupied until it launches

Aka Starfield

[charred nova]

i mean no shade to GSC but they struggle finding all the bugs in the smaller patches let alone a massive game expansion

i'd HOPE they let us test it to assure it comes out polished

[marble gyro]

But we are the ones testing it, and it's our job to locate anomalies ya know?

[upbeat pier]

dlc before game being properly finished?

[marble gyro]

Not our fault that we magically have a a system with no problem and it does not show up for us, but instead it shows up for everyone else

[sleek gulch]

Where is the Ukrainian dubbed version of the new trailer?

[hazy haven]

do we know where Nuclear plant and forest will be located? Somewhere over the cooling towers?

[marble gyro]

Big ass plant north of garbage man

[charred nova]

game will never be truly finished as it was planned thats just how it be

[mighty violet]

iirc there has been no ukrainian dubbed version of trailers

[marble gyro]

You can see it when you climb the crane

[mighty violet]

even the release trailer

[hazy haven]

what do you mean? Two DLCs were planned from release, isnt it?

[charred nova]

he means the game is unfinished

which hes right

[hazy haven]

some missing features or items? Or unfinished locations?

[charred nova]

the current version of the game is basically abandoned

since there moving to the new engine

[bitter plover]

i agree with that

[charred nova]

why waste dev time on a version of the game they are not keeping

[marble gyro]

Ubisoft does it

[shell flax]

Ubisoft is also a gargantuan multi branch super company

[charred nova]

they are far enough along now that anything they do has to more or less done twice until the engine update releases

[native idol]

Ubisoft's games are also ass

[marble gyro]

Except splinter cell

Don't you dare slander Chaos theory

[shell flax]

Also, GSC continuing to prove my point they have an expensive taste in guns with two new HKs in the trailer

[upbeat pier]

true and I guess we all have our vision of "finished" too

[native idol]

Well that was Pre Current Ubisoft

[proven hollow]

german guns look best though

[smoky hawk]

Ubisoft was ass always

[shell flax]

At this point I firmly believe Mol1t and McCulkin have some sort of HK rifle under their desks

[native idol]

Its the worst its ever been rn

and it can only get even worse

[marble gyro]

This is a Hilarious comparison
https://youtube.com/shorts/XliL5MuGMUQ?si=CvpVSVr2BQF6N95K

[charred nova]

whats the other new hk?

[marble gyro]

People are malding sooooo hard right now

[native idol]

Theres one on the GOG store for the DLC

[marble gyro]

Apples to oranges man, apples to oranges

[shell flax]

Kazz thinks it’s the 433

[native idol]

I put the img in Screens

[charred nova]

also the gun people saw zulu holding in the trailer

does not look like the one in the thumbnail

[craggy sphinx]

Would you recommend me finishing my story or wait for 1.9

[native idol]

Both

[craggy sphinx]

It’s like I wanna play but the shooting through walls and friendly fire and poltergeist throwing stuff when they’re inside a building p’s me off lol 😂

[marble gyro]

I say finish it, there are 4 endings anyways

[craggy sphinx]

Oooo ok

[native idol]

The poltergeist is a bit bad, but I'd reccommend finishing it. After that unless u wanna replay it, I'd wait for the DLC

[haughty rover]

Thats happening to me too (started playing the other day). That isnt intended?

[charred nova]

no

[marble gyro]

While you are at it, replay the OG trilogy

[native idol]

no

[craggy sphinx]

Those creases didn’t get ironed out lol

[haughty rover]

How do you avoid it then?

[charred nova]

its known about though im not sure if it will get fixed till the engine update comes out

[native idol]

When I finish the story of S2 I'm gonna replay the modded trilogy.

[marble gyro]

No, poltergeists and Burers spawning crap out of thin air to throw at you is not intended as well as then throwing stuff through walls

[native idol]

Currently, you dont. Other than kill it that is.

[charred nova]

any updates or patches for the current ue5.1 build of the game are being made by a skeleton crew

[marble gyro]

They said the update is in april

[charred nova]

first week of april

[marble gyro]

Well, I just say april

Because remember molit also said the News to be announced "Next week" when it came out to a whole month

Sooooooooo

Communication is kinda shakey

[charred nova]

now question is

what does summer mean

[marble gyro]

Q3

[native idol]

My prediction is August

[charred nova]

i really hope not

because bro it will be slim pickings until then

[marble gyro]

Oh wait...

Summer is Q2

3 is fall

[native idol]

Thats prob what the "1.9" is to hold us over until

[charred nova]

I wish i could just blow the lid of why this wont hold people over for long

[native idol]

But Idunno. I'm hoping for the update to drop the soonest it can, but I'm optimistic.

[marble gyro]

Hold fast my brother

[native idol]

FR

[marble gyro]

Otherwise we won't be able to see things again

[charred nova]

quiet down fun police

i know my obligations

[marble gyro]

We don't have any lmao

It's a free for all at this point

[charred nova]

no

[native idol]

I'm just glad I don't have to stress about if we are goin to the CNPP or not

[charred nova]

the full details haven't leaked

publicly anyways

[marble gyro]

There is a couple videos

[charred nova]

yah they don't know shit

i saw those

[woven rune]

the new dlc that is coming you get it for free if you have ultimate right ?

[marble gyro]

There is a whistle blower

[drifting bear]

Yes

[brittle charm]

Pretty sure we're going to Limansk too

[charred nova]

except there isn't

[charred nova]

we are not

[woven rune]

okay thx

[charred nova]

the xbox write up on the website clearly spells out what we are getting

its iron forest and the CNPP

[brittle charm]

The entrance to the large tunnel(s) in the trailer shows a Limansk sign on the right

[marble gyro]

Dawg iron forest and cnpp is enough for now

[bitter plover]

This is the one, he is holding in thumbnail
#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[marble gyro]

It could show a sign, but it doesn't mean we are going to the direction of limansk

[charred nova]

like sadly if we were going to get lymansk i'd think they would tell us

[marble gyro]

Okay I'm deleting dragons dogma again

[bitter plover]

So we were right in one. But not in second one. Now. Only SKS remains

[charred nova]

or say it in the xbox write up

[charred nova]

there very well could also be more

[bitter plover]

yeah, its weird. Why tease tunel to Lymanks, if Lymansk wouldnt be there. But why would they only write two regions, if it is in.

[pearl atlas]

they have to do finally give us that dancing dude

[brittle charm]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[native idol]

I doubt we are getting an sks, SVT-40 seems more probable

[bitter plover]

it deffinitely will

[charred nova]

SVT40 makes no sense imo

though the new few seconds of it make it more likely

[brittle charm]

Worst possible case scenario, Lymansk is where we're going for the second DLC

[charred nova]

the SVT40 is just a worse SVD which we already have

and the SVD is already an upgrade over the mosin

[native idol]

True, but the img looks less like an sks and more of an svt

[cobalt turret]

duty and freedom dlc 😔 🙏🏿 thank you lord

[charred nova]

i mean the svt makes it possible for there to be an AVT40

which would be epic

[bitter plover]

Well Lymansk will deffinitely be in game sooner or later. WE just dont know, if it will be now or later

[brittle charm]

Will the weird branch spider archanomaly that was cut show up? I hope so.

[pearl atlas]

I'm not sure how I feel about them putting main Freedom and Duty content into a DLC. it feels like it's missing from the main game.

[marble gyro]

We see a sign that leads to prypyat before, but it was covered in a wall of radiation, pretty sure it will be the same here, a tease

[bitter plover]

nah, it rly looks more like SVT

[burnt bridge]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

There’s a mag

[charred nova]

guess gsc doesn't want to re add 7.62x39

[native idol]

thats what Im sayinnn

[burnt bridge]

Gsc loves Germany

[native idol]

both have mags, but the sks looks to have a different charging handle and upper reciever

[charred nova]

still wish it was the fal instead

fal is cooler

fight me

[native idol]

Fal would be a good addition

[pseudo leaf]

I guess the g3 is meant to be the equivalent, but yeah an FAL would feel more unique.

[lost needle]

The dlc trailer looks insane i might upgrade to ultimate edition

[wheat stream]

So is it worth for ps5 now ? I wanna play so bad

[brittle charm]

Also Skif has a "new" design #📸┃screens_and_videos message

[native idol]

I believe his suit changes during the story, he has different ones in the story cutscenes at the end as well

[charred nova]

the fal is more of a FREEDOM type weapon

[brittle charm]

In the flashback with Strider, he has the X7, even though you don't get it until you meet Strelok

[pseudo leaf]

True, I’m just not sure they’d add both in if they felt similar.

[bitter plover]

yeah. I wanted SKS god damm it. My beloved SKS...

[native idol]

Right arm of the "Free" World.......Get it.

[burnt bridge]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message
well y’all convinced this is a wooden g3 also but I don’t see a ring on the front iron I see what a fal has but idkkk

[unreal abyss]

Guys? is Zulu confirmed for the DLC or is that a different Duty guy?

[wheat stream]

Is it worth buying for ps5 yet?

[bitter plover]

It is Zulu

[unreal abyss]

I haven't seen the trailer yet

[haughty rover]

I am playing on the PS5. Am having fun man... if you dont have any games on the menu right now, I say get it.

[native idol]

Ye Zulus chonky ahh there

[unreal abyss]

Let's a CHEEKI BREEKI GO!!!!

[brittle charm]

That's absolutely Zulu. There's a bunch of mentions of him in the base game, plus he talks to you in a side quest.

[charred nova]

zulu has been confirmed

[wheat stream]

Thanks I think i will. Get st least 60fps?

[lost needle]

Glad that one guy that was saying zulu would be in a dlc since release was right

[charred nova]

he was in the thumb nail

[unreal abyss]

Wait so Zulu definetly was in the base game?

[lost needle]

Theres mentions of him

[brittle charm]

Technically, yes.

[charred nova]

they talk about zulu

[unreal abyss]

that would be expected but I never recall seeing him in the game

[charred nova]

as though you can meet him

but he was just not in the game

[lost needle]

Cause he isnt

[charred nova]

because he was cut very late

[native idol]

Im looking forward to seeing the internal conflict between Voronin and Zulu. You can see a snippet of it, Kinda looks like it may be in the CNPP.

[haughty rover]

Havent encountered any noticeable drops yet am playing on performance mode and it seems pretty stable

[charred nova]

Like i strongly believe the faction wars dlc we got is completely different from what the faction wars was going to be originally

[unreal abyss]

And the freedom girl is Mavka? I have heard that from somewhere

[pseudo leaf]

Yeah several characters kinda talk about him like he’s the person they’re loyal to more than voronin

[charred nova]

yup

[unreal abyss]

As long as they don't do hollywood stuff for the sake of being sophisticated or "unique" I don't mind

[charred nova]

the voice of the arena

[brittle charm]

In a side quest involving Duty capturing a bandit camp, if the Lieutenant you fight with dies, Zulu radios in and thanks you for helping them.

[charred nova]

that you never see in game normally

[unreal abyss]

Expected something like this, fair enough

[unreal abyss]

I know about her from the Arena voice

Well in that case, I believe we may be getting the first straight STALKER ship potential ladies and gentlemen

Zulu x Mavka

[charred nova]

nah bro

Mavka is skifs women

[brittle charm]

Nah, Agatha

[bitter plover]

In Arena. In steam page, you see how she looks. I am 100% sure, that ppl will join Freedom just for her

[unreal abyss]

But both never met each other

[charred nova]

they will

now

in dlc

[lost needle]

Were gonna be visiting x16 again no way

[unreal abyss]

I somewhat thought that it's going to be a seperate campaign DLC, I haven't seen the trailer yet though

[charred nova]

@bitter plover Now heres the thing do you think the rest of the pripyat and jupiter will be free content or they will be paid

[unreal abyss]

so I admit, it's an assumption, I thought it will be you either play as Zulu or Mavka

[charred nova]

minus the DLC part of pripyat

[brittle charm]

Strelok never destroyed the psuedobrain, it makes sense now

[bitter plover]

thats the question. Season pass mentions 2 story expansion AND paid DLCs. And free updates. Soooo. Will it be free or paid? Are there still plans for paid DLCs? who knows

[bitter plover]

You play as Skif normaly. DLC will start troughout main story

[unreal abyss]

so it's like a fallout side quest DLC then

[bitter plover]

like Heart of STone in Witcher basicaly

[unreal abyss]

fair enough

[charred nova]

i really hope at least they finish up Pripyat for free

[bitter plover]

god i wish

[charred nova]

like the stuff you can see out of bounds

a lot of it looks almost finished a lot of it

[unreal abyss]

I still hope binoculars get re-added

[charred nova]

literally on the road map

[unreal abyss]

I know, just when

[charred nova]

the entire western part of pripyat

[native idol]

I'm glad S2 Pripyat aint as empty as the originals.

[charred nova]

wdym its super empty

its the most rushed part of the game

[haughty rover]

Whats the coverage date of the latest roadmap? Was it the Q3 and Q4 2025 one?

[charred nova]

we are still on the 2025 road map

[haughty rover]

Oh damn

Aint that a kick in the head

[charred nova]

but on the topic of pripyat literally all side content for pripyat was cut

likely because they did not actually finnish pripyat

[native idol]

Pripyat Ferris wheel DLC Confirmed??

[charred nova]

according to the leaked documents one of the dlc is suppose to involve part of pripyat

however the part im talking about is just cut

if you are on pc you can explore it with no clip and god mode

a lot of the buildings are made

there is a giant stadium even

which is really cool

[native idol]

Could be for DLC, If were lucky

[charred nova]

and the Jupiter plant too

[charred nova]

im still hoping they make it free i don't want the DLC to be just a bunch of cut content

like they fleshed out the burnt forest

[native idol]

Maybe thats part of what the Engine upgrade will achieve

[still current]

I fucking knew it duty vs freedom dlc

[proven hollow]

I hope we get a clearsky like faction war system with all the original bugs included, only thing that would satisfy some a-life whiners

[still current]

Now the question is, what's the true ending

[bitter plover]

i agree. They need to add things for free and nto lock all behind DLCs

[bitter plover]

[charred nova]

like im sure you have seen the map right

[bitter plover]

Nothing. It will be trough main story. not after

[charred nova]

the development map

[bitter plover]

yes

[still current]

Also, the footage we got is 99% engine upgrade

[bitter plover]

im not sure 100%. They love to do PROMO quality

[charred nova]

The northern part of pripyat which will be all new

[proven hollow]

you can't tell that from pre-rendered footage

[charred nova]

that should be the dlc

and lymansk

[still current]

Wouldn't mind it tbh. I expect one of the two dlcs to be post ending

Ig we will have cnpp this summer

[bitter plover]

They said something like, that one DLC might choose canon ending. So yeah, maybe the second one will be post ending.

[still current]

Next one will be new regions limansk and cold island

[charred nova]

another area that really needs some love is the duga

[primal nimbus]

Seeing Mercs appear in the new trailer, I hope we can do some faction trolling

[bitter plover]

yes. More side quests at least

[charred nova]

see bro thats the thing cold island use to be dlc 1

[bitter plover]

and make that one area HUB even just some lesser one

[native idol]

It'd be cool to have after ending gameplay, for example seeing the zone change for different endings.

[bitter plover]

well there were 3 DLCs mentioned sooo. we cant focus on DLCs numbers

[still current]

I have a theory actually can't discuss it here cuz it carries spoilers from test

[fleet mesa]

zone is back

[charred nova]

thats why i think there will be more than 2 dlc

[bitter plover]

continue in test channel pls.

[still current]

I think you might know what I'm talking about @bitter plover

[charred nova]

post in test chat

[wild sphinx]

I wonder about the those dlc being the equivalent of Cop and CS.
Like are they going to be all new stories, are they completely different games that are going to be coming on the same base (like they were)

[bitter plover]

as i said. Season pass mentions more paid DLCs. So there will be two huge story expansions creating trilogy, but there might be some smaller DLCs that will add things

[charred nova]

maybe mol1t can clarify

[brittle charm]

Also just realized, Zulu is throwing hands with Voronin in the trailer

[bitter plover]

No. They wotn be standalone. They will be added as another story with HoC main story. SO it wont be like with OGs

[still current]

First part is rendred, rest are a mix of cutscenes and brief gameplay instances. You can see plenty in those

[bitter plover]

i doubt that they will say anything about this

[whole belfry]

So Cost of Hope is not a sequel to the ending, but instead still within main storyline?

[charred nova]

well i mean i feel they can clarify the wording at least

[wild sphinx]

Will next update introduce unreal 5.5?

[charred nova]

no

[bitter plover]

there will be maybe some chouice to either help Zulu become leader and trow out Voronin or to make peace between them. Maybe the same will be with Mavka

[latent vine]

Where multiplayer? 😂

[bitter plover]

yeah. I would love that, but as i said. I doubt they will clarify that. I think they want to stay quiet about any info like that for now

[native idol]

I could see that being the case. In the trailer you can see zulu and voronin fighting in what could be the CNPP

[bitter plover]

yeah.

[wild sphinx]

I wonder how long those dlc quest would take. Like it can't be more or equal hours than the main quest right?

[brittle charm]

It's on a train too. The concept art mentions a monorail that leads into the CNPP.

[wheat stream]

When is cost of hope coming

[native idol]

sometime summer they said in the trailer

[wild sphinx]

TBD afaik

[daring bobcat]

Hi all

[wheat stream]

Is it fun rn?

[daring bobcat]

Will DLC be a brand new play through or I can use my exisiting save game ?

[wild sphinx]

Will they add manul to the game?

[brittle charm]

After the Signal (Wishful Thinking mission), you'll be able to play the DLC

[daring bobcat]

Because I’d love to keep all my gear and continue (I hope!).

[daring bobcat]

Ahh okay so you just go to it before final mission right?

[main jewel]

i like this

[bitter plover]

they say dozens of hours for main story. Whätever that means

[charred nova]

what are we looking at

[main jewel]

NO CAUSE THE HELMET WAS IN THE GAME DURING THE STORIES UNTOLD

IN THE BUILDING WITH THE TOOLS

[charred nova]

id say safely at least 10 hours

[brittle charm]

Imagine this isn't the Kadaver and it's just some random guy in power armor or whatever you'd call that

[wild sphinx]

12h probably

[charred nova]

if they say dozens i say 10 hours is safe

[wild sphinx]

Yeah

[main jewel]

its a power armor guy

[charred nova]

oh

[main jewel]

cause he beats the shit outta skif

[wild sphinx]

Like 24h if you complete everything but I wouldn't expect as much

[brittle charm]

The streets are saying it's the cut mutant, the Kadaver

[main jewel]

it could be a kadaver tho

[charred nova]

that would be hype

[main jewel]

its just the kadaver looks way different

[bitter plover]

Nah. Its plurar, It has to be at least two dozens then. So minimaly 24h

[main jewel]

I LIKE THE CNPP IMAGES

[wild sphinx]

How long did they say last free content would last?

[bitter plover]

3-5 hours i think. But dont remmember

[odd sky]

reactor number 4 💀

[main jewel]

wheres my rpd gsc

[wild sphinx]

Like not a criticism of course it's just that game devs usually overestimate time

[main jewel]

we might get 7.62x39 if theres a sks so

but im happy for all these new guns

[charred nova]

we are fairly sure its not a sks

[main jewel]

eh eh ehe he he he

[main jewel]

why not

[charred nova]

some better quality shots of the barrel got looked at

its clearly not a sks barrel

its almost for sure a SVT

[wheat stream]

How lomg will it take me to get the guns decked out? Is it super slow?

[wild sphinx]

Oh it's cool too

But that's a quite rare gun

Although in 7,62x54

[charred nova]

the svt40 is not rare at all

they made millions of them

[wheat stream]

How long will it take generally to be having fun an getting in cool firefights?

[bitter plover]

they dont. they just dont estimate hours by gamers, that rush

[bitter plover]

its deffinitely SVT and not SKS

[wheat stream]

10hrs to complete the fame?

[charred nova]

yah it seems GSC is not interested in re adding 7.62x39

i really wish they would

[bitter plover]

You can now see the gun much more detailed, bcs of higher resolution, so you can now see the part in front of foregrip and thats deffinitely SVT

[main jewel]

ill look closer when im at home but keep in mind the weapons in this game generally look funky anyway

[wild sphinx]

To be fair, I think it will be hard to had it mechanically

[charred nova]

dude it was in the game

they removed it

lol

[wild sphinx]

Since only dnypro/sks would use it

[bitter plover]

Same as RPD in files

[wild sphinx]

Like you'd have to rework all the loot

[main jewel]

you can still find 7.62x39 but sadly its like a w sellable

or collectable item

[bitter plover]

they will still have to with DLC. ALl loot pools will have to be changed, bcs of new guns

[wild sphinx]

To have balanced amount of 7.62x39 and 54

[charred nova]

there use to be tons of 7.62x39

[wild sphinx]

Fair

[charred nova]

it was fairly easy to get

[iron wind]

wait, why I can't preorder the DLC?

[charred nova]

but most of the sources of it are now replaced with 7.62x54r

[bitter plover]

later

[wild sphinx]

I don't really understand the cartridge thing tho

[native idol]

you can with ultimate edition

[wild sphinx]

Like sniper only being able to firing specialized sniper rounds

[iron wind]

I don't want to buy that one

[charred nova]

the gun balance in the game in general is kinda wack because all guns are basically tiered

[wheat stream]

Still curious, how long to beat game, and how slow is the start?

[iron wind]

I want to buy real content

[slow crypt]

I hope they aren't just throwing in cut content as DLC to make money off something that was supposed to be included from the start...

[charred nova]

they technically have but

[iron wind]

have bad news for you, some of it is likely cut stuff

[charred nova]

once again they have vastly expanded on what it would have been

[wild sphinx]

Yeah wich is not that great imo.
I wish some rebalance mod would turn back human boses into normal human and level all gun

[cyan sparrow]

Time to play Starfield

[slow crypt]

Yeah, I know, I have 200 GB of data on my PC that's telling me the same story.

[charred nova]

OXA lol

[native idol]

Then you'll have to wait till it becomes available

[slow crypt]

Joking aside, it's not that bad

[charred nova]

nah it is

[empty hare]

Depends how quickly you try and get through the main story. I explored about 80% of the map my first playthrough, did all side quests, and finished the story after. Total play time was ~70hrs but the main storey was probably ~20-25hrs of that

[charred nova]

starfield cope will not be tolerated

[iron wind]

unfortunately

[slow crypt]

And what about Skyrim?

[wild sphinx]

Like that one guy in the arena can take a silly amount of headshots

[charred nova]

tolerated

[empty hare]

Skyrim is the greatest game ever made

It still holds up a decade and a half later

[charred nova]

greatest game hell no

[empty hare]

Why not? I genuinely think its top 3 of any game ive ever played

[charred nova]

do not try and put deus ex in the same camp with skyrim

[wild sphinx]

It's like New Vegas, they are good.
But not perfect

[still current]

I think we got the fucking hospital man

[slow crypt]

Deus Ex and its controls...

[nimble tangle]

Hi, I just checked my Xbox today after the new DLC announcement and both my STALKER 2 Deluxe DLC and the Ultimate DLC both have updates.. does anyone know what about?? There's no information or acknowledgement from GSC as far as I can see.

[slow crypt]

in the form of paid content wujuu

[charred nova]

ever heard of rebinding keys

[native idol]

FNV is one of the GOATS. Skyrim comes after it down the list

[still current]

I went through the trailer again, we have limansk and the hospital

[charred nova]

crazy concept i know

[wild sphinx]

Fnv is like great but I think overrated

[brittle charm]

*MGS3

[charred nova]

you sure

[slow crypt]

not on my Xbox

[still current]

No sight of iron forest tho, just CNPP

[charred nova]

deus ex is not even on xbox

[stark crescent]

STARFIELD WILL REIGN SUPREME!

[charred nova]

its on ps2 and pc only

[still current]

Yes, I'm positive. I recognize the building style

[cyan sparrow]

I’m tempted to try after 7th april when they release all the new content

[charred nova]

the ps2 is terrible

[slow crypt]

human revolution deus ex

[still current]

The tunnel also seems to be limansk

[charred nova]

thats not what im talking about

[still current]

Would be logical to have the hospital too

[empty hare]

Metal Gear Solid (thevog ps1 one) was fantastic

[charred nova]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex_(video_game)

this is the only real deus ex game

[stark crescent]

A new era of starfield that will take over the gaming industry! A quadruple A title!

[charred nova]

they only made one

[still current]

We are so back fr

[charred nova]

there are no other deus ex games

[still current]

I'm hyped again

[slow crypt]

That's what I used to say about Prince of Persia when they released the reboot

And the same thing happened to me with Thief, the PS4 version was terrible

[stark crescent]

I liked prince of persia 3. It had a good story.

[native idol]

I don't care what game yall think is the best, Lego SW the complete saga reigns supreme.

[charred nova]

alright alright who cares

[slow crypt]

prince of persia the 2 thrones ?

[charred nova]

@still current show hospital

show proof of limansk

[stark crescent]

Ye

From what i remember, it had a good story

Hey, new dlc

[slow crypt]

The best story, it's a shame they cut the budget for gameplay and reused the engine and content from Warrior Within

[kindred fable]

True... (To be fair, I didn't like the third one either)

[still current]

This is limansk for sure

And this is definitely the old hospital

[wild sphinx]

Bob page: Gee I hope this situation won't end up in some sort of Deux Ex Machina
The brave JC Danton :

[stark crescent]

@charred nova Jàk, what do you think of this dlc? Do you believe in skif to be able to solve the conflict between duty and freedome?

[brittle charm]

Zulu will set those Freedumb fuckers straight

[still current]

It's clear since we saw zulu

Zulu is anti treaty

[wild sphinx]

Wasn't the old hospital a lot more destroyed?

[still current]

Hell do whatever he can to blow it up

[stark crescent]

So war it is then.

[still current]

Not inside

Some parts are intact

[stark crescent]

We will feast on the guts of freedom!

[still current]

I remember the structure and I see so much similarities

[wild sphinx]

The big open part where the helicopter fight occured would look amazing in new graphics

[still current]

I can't deny that I might be wrong, but we saw how zaton and the swamps were merged, so having the hospital in limansk isn't far fetched

I also think the meeting they held are in a new area

[charred nova]

he will by comitting him self to total duty death

[wild sphinx]

I wonder if the radiology institute would be added if lymansk is added

[still current]

It's too early to know things for sure, but I'm really leaning toward what I said

[brittle charm]

GENERAL ZULU FOR DUTY

[still current]

I can be wrong, but I'm mostly positive

[charred nova]

so then if this is limansk why do they not mention it at all

[wild sphinx]

Yeah I don't remember the area that well tbf

[still current]

GSC are mostly freedom, so ig you can see skif siding with freedom in the teasee

Literally

Not sure he'll act as a diplomat this time

[charred nova]

but its a war so

im sure you can fight for both sides

[still current]

He'll probably carry on agression

[brittle charm]

You can also see Skif helping Zulu and Voronin soooo

[still current]

Choices are, freedom, duty, or dimplomat

[iron wind]

guys, don't want to kill your optimism, but knowing GSC the DLC is likely to be delayed into autumn or winter 2026

[valid jasper]

is new location free

[still current]

Yeah, choices again. 3 possibilities all available mostly

[wild sphinx]

I'm thinking about that shitpost about stalkers wanting faction war now

[brittle charm]

I read Autumn as "Autism"

[still current]

Help stop the agression or pursue it for both parties

[iron wind]

its paid

[still current]

I can see us being in both sides like ward/ spark

[brittle charm]

Probably more. Remember, Zulu is against Voronin, and Mavka is against Myukklha.

[valid jasper]

bruh its need to be 2 $

[still current]

Season pass, or separate purchases

[wild sphinx]

"Somehow lebedev returned"

[still current]

I think you'll get some idea after patch release. That's all I can say

[stark crescent]

Skif is an angel of death. The stench of blood follows his trail where ever he goes.

[still current]

Yeah

Real

Lol

[brittle charm]

Patch definetly has to do with Faction War

[still current]

[charred nova]

@still current i see what you mean with limansk though

why have a tunnel that is labeled limansk that you can see in the trailer

[visual mortar]

does he know

[charred nova]

is not blocked off or nothing

[bold smelt]

how to offend women in 5 syllables or less

[charred nova]

if you can't go through the tunnel

[visual mortar]

i hate women

thats four

[brittle charm]

Let me COPE

[still current]

Idk, but maybe it's for other teasers to tell.

[charred nova]

i pray they give us that

[main jewel]

@charred nova this is a g3

you can see the letters gp3a
in stalker 2 hk g36 also uses “gp”

[charred nova]

yah

[still current]

Foliage is identical to limansk and rest is cheer gut (it might be cope but heh, I think I'm right)

[main jewel]

it aint no swedarn whatever

https://tenor.com/view/key-and-peele-skit-you-will-never-be-troy-distraction-gif-14057568753463082760

[charred nova]

it even says made in german on it

[charred nova]

idk some guy was saying and people were agreeing

[main jewel]

well im looking at everything now up close and im gunna hop on stalker 2 and inspect that helmet

[still current]

Bright side is we're back I think it's gonna be a crazy period

[charred nova]

assuming that we do get limansk

[still current]

Hope Marketring won't be super silent this time

We will

[main jewel]

this confirms shotgun supressors right

[charred nova]

according to prophet mol1t is very happy

[still current]

Miracle machine

[charred nova]

yes

[still current]

I mean even without limansk, I saw plenty enough

[charred nova]

nah look

with out limansk

its pretty good 8/10

with limansk 9/10

[still current]

Foliage says limansk for now (in the tunnel, you can see a tree with few leaves

Limansk was always summer like

[charred nova]

there is a sign

apparently the sign next to the tunnel says limansk

or lymansk

[still current]

And I really think the meeting place is in limansk

Unless someone else recognize the area

Cuz I don't seem to do

[deft coral]

Amazing trailer ill just wait till i can buy the dlc without having to upgrade cause the upgrade to the ultimate edition are way too expensive for me

[main jewel]

okay i can confirmed the mysterious gun to be an svt 40

the little vents that are at the front of the barrel give it away..

[still current]

There might be a summer discount, so maybe you can grab it then

[bitter plover]

We are not tho man for now, we only know, that DLC is aditional story. We still needs tons of work on AI, Alife, gunplay needs change. Only with these things, we are back. Without them, its just more story

We will see once they will start to talk about it more and say features of DLC and also of UE update

[still current]

We are

We've got plenty of time

And we'll be testing that before everyone lel

[bitter plover]

i highly doubt to be honest. Depends when the update will arrive. WE will absolutely not test DLC for leak purposes. And to test UE update, it needs to arrive before it, not with it

[still current]

Engine upgrade will come around end end April/end may.

[bitter plover]

that would be nice

[main jewel]

seems like we are never getting the rpo-44

[still current]

Look, I was right with 1.9, and many other patches, so let's cross fingers lol

1.9 will be live early april

End may seems plausible to me

[kindred fable]

That sounds very optimistic...

[still current]

For 2.0

[still current]

Well see

[smoky hawk]

good

at this point I dont want it to spite you

[main jewel]

okay no but seriously

can we get another lmg

why is there only one

thats sad

[bitter plover]

true

[burnt bridge]

Gonna have way too many high powered rifles now

[sage dew]

I wonder what is the cost of the cost of the freedom? XD

[lament mortar]

Is GSC woke now? There's a female stalker in the DLC

[bitter plover]

thats bait ⬆️

[burnt bridge]

You allergic?

[visual mortar]

come on man, you can do better than that

I'll tell you what, leave and come back and try again

[sage dew]

Oh no! MOM!

[visual mortar]

you got this

get some real good material

something that will rile us up

[charred nova]

rage bait use to be believable

[sage dew]

Maybe I should ask for the best cookie recepy

[charred nova]

i mean maybe its not we had that guy show up asking for a mod to remove all 3 black people from stalker 2

with a black sun as his profile banner

[main jewel]

also wait

i have a genuine question

[charred nova]

what be

[main jewel]

im not no expert

but

[sage dew]

O kurwa!

[main jewel]

entering through here has to be the least safe way right

[bitter plover]

lmao i remember

[bitter plover]

rule of cool tho

[main jewel]

true

but

[charred nova]

this to get into the cnpp or the limansk you think

[main jewel]

it’s obviously the cnpp bro

[charred nova]

actually

you know where this is

[bitter plover]

its CNPP

[main jewel]

thats the reactor

[charred nova]

thats the area thats unclouded on the map

but you can't go there

[bitter plover]

in your mom

[charred nova]

east of pripyat

[main jewel]

llerrr

[sage dew]

I mean when I visited ukraine back in 2006 I didnt see a single black person there xD but Ukraine is a big country and in the month of being there I hardly seen it all - Heck I didnt even go to the exclusion zone ... ex GF was against it and she was too sexy to resist ( Ukraininan )

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/tbh-white-creature-yipee-break-fall-apart-gif-25850097

[visual mortar]

top 10 ways to get killed by law enforcement

[charred nova]

I mean there are very very few of them

its not really that hard to believe a small handful non slavic people would be in the zone

why i think its a missed world building oppertunity

where they could have had in the english dub most characters speak with a slavic accent

but then have a small handful of people who would not because they were not native to the area

[sage dew]

I dont play in en dub

The voice acting of the original chars is on a different level

[bitter plover]

Eng dub with accent is cringe

[sage dew]

same goes even for Metro games

[charred nova]

like you meet a merc and he has an irish accent

[main jewel]

i certainly wouldnt go into the cnpp through the roof over reactor 4

[charred nova]

that would be cool

[main jewel]

true

i play stalker 2 things in eng dub and ua dub

[proven hollow]

but that's where the spicy stuff is

[main jewel]

for the stories untold

[sage dew]

BUt hey - untill there are furries in STALKER 2 I am happy xD

[main jewel]

i did ua dirst

then en

then switched back to ua

[bitter plover]

the thing is,. Mercs are not western. Most of them would be still from around the zone. There would be some from around the world for specialisation, but they are not automaticaly western, quite the opposite. They have to know the zone and often speak to ppl in the zone and etc

But it would be cool detail for sure

[charred nova]

well yes but they would have some amount of an accent

its like how in the english dub of metro exodus

[bitter plover]

but still. Eng dub with accent is cringe in these times

[sage dew]

yeah

[charred nova]

Sam speaks in clear american english

because he is from california

[bitter plover]

and i mean with any accent. Even american or english

[charred nova]

thats cool world building

[bitter plover]

it should be as neutral as possible

[sage dew]

Metro Sam?

[charred nova]

yes

he's from california

[sage dew]

Cause he has hilariously heavy Ru accsent when "speaking native EN language" xD

[charred nova]

not really?

[sage dew]

Oh yes really

[charred nova]

he sounds pretty american to me

[sage dew]

I mean the voice actors english is great, but the acsent there is unmistakable

[charred nova]

do you think that everyone in america speaks the same

[sage dew]

No this is dumb argument

but there are certain vauls and ways of pronaunciations that UA and RU speakng people insert into english unless they like REALLY try and re-learn it properly

even we czech have typical czech acsent which is different

[charred nova]

i mean that is why the original english dub of stalker was so iconic

[sage dew]

Yeah it was

"Maaarkt oeeeen vaaat tee heeel?"

[charred nova]

its corny yes

but it makes it way more charming

[sage dew]

Corny - CDPR made czech dub - now thats a comedy gold

[marble gyro]

If everyone in America spoke the same, I would commit seppuku

[main jewel]

yo so guys theres a fleshy part on the guys back with those things this might just be the kadaver

[sage dew]

that was so SO bad xD

[main jewel]

this might just be the kadaver

[marble gyro]

Or a controller controlled

[visual mortar]

if everyone spoke like you I'd punch a breaker box with copper knuckles

[main jewel]

eh

[winged glen]

That cost of hope trailer was so peak

[bitter plover]

bruh. Like, the CoP dub levels are horrendous. In SoC, tis charming, but not CoP

[charred nova]

eh i find that type of dialog very charming

it feels homemade

[sage dew]

Liked it a lot too - recycled the unmaked snork tho, which is tsk* like why?

[marble gyro]

I'm not American

[visual mortar]

doesn't matter

[marble gyro]

Okay?

[main jewel]

cop is so funny

[marble gyro]

GSC PLEASE

[river chasm]

True that would be kinda cool

I'm curious what exploring CNPP will be like

[charred nova]

i hope we can explore it with a babe

skif needs a hot babe side kick

[marble gyro]

And more guns that go boom

[visual mortar]

i love fein

i was trying to find a different cat to show you

[sage dew]

so cost of hope summer and 1.9 when?

I had to ... sorry xD

[marble gyro]

A cost of hope is a price that is never paid in full

[main jewel]

also is it just me or is thus a different mono armor cause it looks different

[shell flax]

That’s the Zircon

[main jewel]

oh really

i dont use it

[plain fiber]

Wow, what's with the middle-finger emotes in response to the DLC announcement?

[marble gyro]

People just hate to hate

[plain fiber]

I'm pretty sure the Zircon has different gloves and different sleeves.

[marble gyro]

I'm pretty sure we are at like a divisive point, where the player base is so split that the major just hates everything now

[sage dew]

gamma fans

[marble gyro]

"GAME NOT GETTING FIXED, ALREADY DLC??? JAJAJAJAJA BRAZIL"

Or something like that

[visual mortar]

woah dude got something against Brazilians?

its okay i do too

[plain fiber]

I was busy playing The Long Dark so I haven't seen the trailer yet, gonna go watch now.

[marble gyro]

You gonna see

Canted aiming

[sage dew]

Brings back memmories (of Max Payne 3) xD

[marble gyro]

Lmao, yeah

[plain fiber]

Oh hell yeah, we're cooking peeps.

Just finished it, looks awesome.

[marble gyro]

Canted aiming

More attachments

Suppressed shotguns

[plain fiber]

I'm hoping that'll come with canted sights too.

Yeah, I saw the shotgun suppressor.

Finally, we can be Anton Chigur.

[marble gyro]

Even what looks like a G3

[plain fiber]

Not sure if I noticed that?

[river chasm]

We saw a few new weapons in there, all cool. The old style exo on the duty guy too. Looked like he had an SVT

[plain fiber]

What do you mean "old style"?

[marble gyro]

Okay biggest question is

Do you think that what was shown in the trailer

Was the updated engine?

[sage dew]

YES

[marble gyro]

For me personally it just looks like pc footage

[sage dew]

... yes I mean when you develop a game for consoles the builds are always built on PCs anyways

[bitter plover]

its not. If its not engine upgrade, it is minimaly promo style, aka ultra graphics preset, that are not avilable in game, but are available for devs

its deffintiely not normal PC graphics

[plain fiber]

100%

[marble gyro]

From the reveal trailer at like e3 when stalker was first announced, I'm very skeptical

[plain fiber]

Was that the one that featured Skif walking through a way darker/grittier looking Swamps? I'm almost positive that one had a lot of pre-rendered shit in it.

[river chasm]

It was very much like the trilogy model of exo

[bitter plover]

btw. UE update wont give you higher graphics or anything. It will fix issues, not make your game look better. Only thing, that would make it look better is HW lumen. But again, its mostly to fix issues, artifacts, incosistency. So without having side by side, you dont even have to see difference, until you are in game and see for yourself, that issues are gone or much smaller

[marble gyro]

Yeah where it showed combat, skif picking up a weapon, artifact hunting and destructive environments specifically boxes

[bitter plover]

so imo, i dont think anyone can say, that this is UE update or not, until we see normal gameplay. Until then, it is just promo graphic presets available to devs

[plain fiber]

Sure, but the lighthing has looked noticeably better in every screenshot and footage we've seen of the DLC. I mean hell, just the reflections on the NPCs look better.

[keen shard]

does anyone know how to fix call of pripyat crashing on new game

[river chasm]

Yeah my guess is updated lumen is doing a lot of work here

Maybe hardware enabled finally

[bitter plover]

as it was before release. bcs as i said, they have higher graphics presets not availble in game

[marble gyro]

Mod it, that's just COP at its finest

[keen shard]

damn

[plain fiber]

Regardless of the visuals, it almost certainly is running on the new engine version.

[marble gyro]

The one game where a potato can run, but the game itself cannot run at all sometimes lmao

[bitter plover]

It looks better. But it doesnt necessarily mean, that its UE update (but i think it is)

[plain fiber]

For me CoP was always the most stable of the original trilogy.

[keen shard]

bruh i had the same issue with SOC

[marble gyro]

I'm grateful that I have never had that problem with SoC and clear sky

[latent pier]

Im bored about gamma, i want to try stalker 2

[sage dew]

Cop best gameplay, technically perfected, no atmosphere bland story compared to Shoc xD

[marble gyro]

Cop was all gameplay

[plain fiber]

In my life, I think I only ever had one crash from SoC. Though, I do have the issue where all of the NPCs on the map spawn right in front of you when you load into a new area, which is...rough.

[marble gyro]

Oh that has happened to me in garbage area

Surprisingly no crashes

[sage dew]

Have strange bug ever since 1.8 - emissions do no damage

[prime stump]

Find a 1.0 version of CS on the net and you'll learn the definition of rough 😄

[sage dew]

I can stay outside and enjoy the show, the weird bolt does not charge, NPCs that dont make it to shelter die

[plush anchor]

question, what should I purchaise next after buying the standard version of the game in order to get more story related content ( I am not reffering to guns or stuff, just making the game longer)

Like missions, story, etc
