[charred nova]

the universe is brought into balance by gamma being slop

[worldly ingot]

My best experience with modded stalker was still EFP warfare

Gamma is too much for me, you DON’T need 700 mods on a game

[charred nova]

minecraft needs 700 tech mods stalker should have 700 tech mods

we need someone to convert stalker into factorio

[primal nimbus]

Real

I just honestly wanna play modded stalker on pc. Vanilla on Console is fine

[worldly ingot]

I mean GAMMA is a good game and you will most likely enjoy it if you like harder games, just more of a problem with their community is all

[primal nimbus]

I just want to run around with guns like the AEK, SCAR, and whatnot. Nothing drastic like GAMMA. Yet, I am also interested in creating my own game story in the Stalker universe as an inspiration for writing

[frigid axle]

when's 2.1

[frigid axle]

Just mod Stalker 2

or mod the trilogy

im sure there are plenty of mods that will fit your likings

[primal nimbus]

For console?

Thing is, I just wanna play modded stalker on pc only. Vanilla for console. That way I can choose being a couch potato and vibe to to OG stalker, or be a chair goober and play modded stalker

[hardy totem]

Chair goobers deserve vanilla too though

[worldly ingot]

EFP is much less drastic yet quite clean, might be what you want especially in warfare + story mode

[worldly ingot]

And also Has AEK, SCAR and all just like you said, polished anomaly

[primal nimbus]

I know. Been playing vanilla SoC there too. (Currently running Tunder 545; yet I wanna use the SGI)

[primal nimbus]

Hmmmm

[regal sinew]

Or if ya wanna try something with a bit of difficulty you could try out MISERY.

[primal nimbus]

Alright. Imma try kiddy pedals for Modded Stalker and try anomaly for a week or so, then work from there

[somber anvil]

Playing STALKER 2 Heart of Chernobyl. I took GP37 and put Two-O-Three underbarrel grenade launcher. But I cannot select it. In settings Underbarrel grenade launcher is also disabled, inactive. I don't know why. What can you advice to solve it?

[primal nimbus]

At the same time, given I got my pc from a guy who got it from another, I wanna see the limits of my pc

[primal nimbus]

Hmmmmmmm. I’m pretty sure the G36 can take it, unless its for the HK416 and the Kharod.
-# Never really used the M203, but I figured its for 556 rifles.

[worldly ingot]

That is also a good idea, original anomaly is fun too 🙂

[primal nimbus]

I’ll install it tomorrow

[worldly ingot]

Try holding B, it's the original setting, if not try holding TAB for quick access and see if it has a key bound to it there

[somber anvil]

It helped. Longer holding activated it. Hmm... strange

[worldly ingot]

I think that he means he already put it on the gun just that he can't actually put it into the "underbarrel mode"

[worldly ingot]

No problem, it's a bit weird how they don't let you change some keybinds lol

[vale shadow]

How to open door at skull stash?

[fresh cloud]

With your mind

[vale shadow]

Where to find a key?

[fresh cloud]

Skulls stash doesn't require a key? You go though a massive hangar door and find it in an open box

[vale shadow]

Yeah, but there's also a door

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[fresh cloud]

You cant open that door

Not yet i don't think

[vale shadow]

But someone behind it, I even killed someone

[fresh cloud]

[worldly ingot]

It is an area that you get to later in a main mission quest, you can't open it right now

[sudden field]

How much STALKER 2 cost for EU/USA region in the release day?

[charred nova]

what ever the game costs when its not on sale

[sudden field]

😭

[forest grove]

it was 60 dollars brand new back in 2024

[sudden field]

Anyway i found the Google exist, now i can see price history.

[forest grove]

it was prior to the MS price increases to 70 and 80 bucks

but its still 60

[visual mortar]

der Kuglen

[visual mortar]

jack as helpful as ever

[charred nova]

what i said is accurate

[visual mortar]

i cant send the gif in general

but i would jack

[worldly ingot]

It's "what time is it" "the same that it was at this time yesterday" type shit

[charred nova]

if you go on steam or what ever your on it will say what the price is not on sale

this isn't that crazy

[worldly ingot]

You know that games regular prices go down sometimes? This is what he is asking about, what it was originally (for some reason)

[charred nova]

yah by saying that im saying that has not happened no?

[visual mortar]

jack is a genius btw

[worldly ingot]

lmao

[visual mortar]

you should go to his lectures

[charred nova]

if i say the cost of the game originally is what ever it is not on sale

that directly implies the base price has never changed

[visual mortar]

jack thinks he's clever

[charred nova]

im correct but thank you

[worldly ingot]

clever freedom fella 🙂

[visual mortar]

all the weed fogging up his skull

[visual mortar]

jack what was the time it is now a year ago on the same day at the same time?

[charred nova]

11:47

[visual mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/rollbit-stake-csgo500-roobet-casino-gif-26844444

[charred nova]

that is a pointless comparison

[visual mortar]

but what if its next month at the same time, what would it be a year ago?

[charred nova]

the only way what i said is not accurate is if gsc changed the base price which has not happened so idk why you are even arguing

[worldly ingot]

John you're quickly becoming my favourite freedomer

[visual mortar]

now imagine 10 thousand years ago before a standard calendar was created

what would the day be

[charred nova]

let me get out my stone tablets this might be a minute

[worldly ingot]

all good John we will wait for you 🙂

[charred nova]

asked my best friend from ancient Mesopotamia he says it'd be the same day

[visual mortar]

woah .....

such an impressive mind

[charred nova]

still not sure what the issue is beyond me not saying it was 60 dollars

just 2 different ways of saying the same thing

[visual mortar]

jack is the moon always there or does it disappear every morning

[charred nova]

it explodes then is reformed of course doesn't everyone know that

[worldly ingot]

what's heavier 1 kg of steel or 1 kg of feathers

GSC - Garry S Conrad

wake up people

[tall hawk]

Dinner with Jay-Z

Because bread tastes better than key...

[charred nova]

I recently constructed a titanium sculpture of your mom naked. I plan to put it up in your yard soon just a heads up.

[worldly ingot]

Totally uncalled for

[lethal kernel]

This game’s development is in deep trouble. Please convince otherwise.

[marble gyro]

Is stalker 2 fun?

Will it be like fortnite?

[lethal kernel]

Yes and no.

[regal sinew]

I’d say it’s closer to a game of Kerplunk.

[charred nova]

How so

[hardy totem]

Clearly because he says so

[worldly ingot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wtvXoXh0VU

[proven hollow]

Are you doubting magiel? He's like the most credible source in existence

[charred nova]

True

My bad

https://tenor.com/view/shame-bell-game-of-thrones-walk-of-atonement-cersei-lannister-gif-16635977892557113898

[marble gyro]

The game is in deep trouble, it's affecting your way of living as we speak

Oh woe is to thou

[lean heath]

Might be a silly question but is there a way to prevent you sheathing your weapon when in conversation with someone? Keep dying to Lieutenant Shterev after I finish talking to him because he draws his weapon faster. 🙁

[lethal kernel]

So no evidence that it’s doing fine?

[marble gyro]

I didn't know skif owned a scabbard

[obsidian pond]

go back to reddit bro

[forest tapir]

I mean… they have enough to make free DLCs brah…

[marble gyro]

I can't believe they got the VA of Adam Jensen deus ex human revolution and mankind divided to voice Sam Coe in starfield

That's so dope

[lethal kernel]

So where is the multi player? Where are the fixes to core issues in the game, both from launch and added later? Engine upgrade promised but nowhere in sight. DLC’s 1.5+ years after launch. It’s in trouble.

[forest tapir]

probably because they’ve been fixing bugs. also the DLC is apparently dozens of hours. they’re not gonna make that in a month big dawg

[marble gyro]

Didn't cyberpunk get a dlc 2 years after launch and it's still fine?

I don't understand how a single player game can die

[forest tapir]

I believe so

[worldly ingot]

Something something burden of proof

[worldly ingot]

Bro they made more than enough money on release day alone

[worldly ingot]

And it also took a shit ton of time to fix, and now the game is good, that's a real shocker

[forest tapir]

this. I recall seeing an article saying they turned a profit a little while after release. the game is doing great

[marble gyro]

Step outside lil bro, the sun is bright, birds chirping, and I'm pretty sure your mom is making apple pie

[charred nova]

engine update is coming with the dlc most major issues are not being fixed due to any progress done on the current build of the game being pointless when it will all be scrapped once the engine update releases and i hope multiplayer gets cancelled

[forest tapir]

I think that’s the shining zone for him

[charred nova]

mfs crying for multiplayer when from all descriptions of said multiplayer it will be the most worthless slop ever

[worldly ingot]

I saw that they started making profit 3-4 hours post release (including preorders ofc), not completely sure on if it's correct tho

[marble gyro]

Zone full of flashbangs

[forest tapir]

I’m not sure if it was that fast but I do know they made more than their money back shortly after release

[proven hollow]

i'm kinda there for a conversation between magiel and scoofy ngl

[worldly ingot]

Fix the game fully instead ye

[forest tapir]

magiel sentenced to 20 days in the fishing hamlet..

[worldly ingot]

Yeah it was from some random source but they made bank

[forest tapir]

thank god man. I’m so hyped for this dlc it’s insane

[charred nova]

the issue was ever changing the engine the game was using in the first place

where gsc basically put them selves in a spot where they were beta testing an engine that was extremely underbaked for a majority of its life up till fairly recently

and now gsc is retroactively trying to fix that by porting the game to a newer version

[worldly ingot]

Same tbh, I hope it gets updates for years to come, games like Dying Light kept getting updates and events for a decade 😅

[charred nova]

a ton of time would have been saved if they simply never did this but

whats done is done

[river chasm]

Hindsight is 20/20

[slow crypt]

yea

[forest tapir]

they said it’s a “new trilogy” so I’m hoping that updates last for a couple years longer. I kinda wish the northern zone and center had more content, because that’s my favorite area

[worldly ingot]

Happens, I don't think most development cycles go smoothly, visions are much more grandiose than the execution

[slow crypt]

They paid dearly for trying to save time and money

[river chasm]

Yeah and it was a similar sort of situation, though GSC at least didn't try releasing on last gen consoles

[lethal kernel]

I wish you all a great day full of coping.

[charred nova]

no one is coping

[worldly ingot]

Yeah heard the same thing, I am frankly very excited for what they can do with time, the thing I want the most rn is a few good duty/freedom quests and side quests in pripyat

[worldly ingot]

I mean you are saying this like the game is still half broken or it doesn't have a good amount of content already

[river chasm]

GSC considers clear sky and call of pripyat to have been expansions, so take from that what you eill

[marble gyro]

No one is forcing you to stay

[sudden rapids]

Clear Sky was peak

[forest tapir]

This is so real man. The only duty quest I can remember is the one where they’re fending off monolithians in the cooling tower but I missed a lot of pre-signal stuff.

I also find more duty members in Pripyat than the Corps because on my save I had a glitch where the entire Corps army was hanging out around the bumper cars and electrocuting themselves

[south wasp]

I wonder when the #bandits chat will open... 💭

[charred nova]

never

[worldly ingot]

Yup that one, you have the one where they take back a factory near their base from bandits, and listening to some lore from the lieutenant

[worldly ingot]

Lmao I have one duty guy with an RP-74 clearing out monolith for me in Pripyat

[forest tapir]

it’ll be amazing to see the army warehouses turn into a war zone again. I also wonder what’ll happen with rostok

[south wasp]

false

[worldly ingot]

That will be very cool, Lymansk and CNPP opening up too, I expect good things to come 🙂

[forest tapir]

I had the same exact experience with the only corps guy I could find, we were raiding the main kindergarten with all the monolith houses by it and we took down like 30 lol

[worldly ingot]

I hope you can take back Rostok with duty

[charred nova]

the cms are afraid of those channels now bruh they are all total degenerate cess pits

[worldly ingot]

Lmao sunny kindergarden with the monolith gauntlet right next to it, I never fully ran it because I get encumbered half way through

[forest tapir]

same man. I don’t dislike freedom, but I like duty more and I don’t like how their main base is in a place you don’t really go to

[worldly ingot]

And the way they lost their base was basically just because ward said so :/

[charred nova]

you guys have proven to be untrustable when given even a little freedom

[forest tapir]

I ran in with a saiga and a diamond exo and was going crazy

[worldly ingot]

Ye same but only cleared half way cuz I am a loot hoarder lmao

[south wasp]

was it freedoms fault for sending tons of illegal bloodsucker video tape?

[charred nova]

no it was mostly monolith

[south wasp]

[worldly ingot]

Diamond exo/Rhino/Saiga/Whip, I don't like Dnipro/Kharod simply because they dont 1 shot headshot

[forest tapir]

I hate the ward so much it’s insane. At least scar has some charm because of how crazy he is, korshunov just pisses me off I’m not gonna lie

[proven hollow]

huge Duty win tbh

[south wasp]

ah, make sense.

[forest tapir]

Same lmao

[proven hollow]

also heresy

[charred nova]

last i remember they were doing erotic roleplay in there or something

[south wasp]

[proven hollow]

there's nothing erotic about taking a peak at each others monolith!

[south wasp]

zamn, the monolith are up to some weird stuff

[forest tapir]

I like the whip but I tend to to use the lynx more because I love noontide and I like how it’s semi auto

[charred nova]

duty got totally bodied wdym

[worldly ingot]

I mean Scar is just insane but the only likeable Ward member to me is Korshunov, he actually cares about the men he commands and such, Dalin/Agatha are just fanatical/weird tbh

[south wasp]

[forest tapir]

duty comeback summer 2026

[charred nova]

in the faction wars before launch duty scored lower than renegades

[worldly ingot]

Ye whip is too tho and 21 rounds, I'll test the lynx once I make some cash back, I went from 1.2 mil to 250k the moment I got to pripyat lmao

[charred nova]

freedom got second place of course

[forest tapir]

That’s fair. Wish I could pop Agatha because she pisses me off I’m not gonna lie. Dalin I kinda feel bad for but I mainly feel bad for Scar because of everything he went through, but I still haven’t gotten his nor Korshunovs ending

[charred nova]

though I'll admit i heavily incentivize freedom performing well

[forest tapir]

I will have to try it out again, I started a new save to finish off my last two non ending achievements and I’m gonna use it for the Cost of Hope DLC because my old one is outdated

[worldly ingot]

Ye I mean I am still on 1st playthrough 120 hours in but will have to do every ending because of achievements anyways, I went for Strelok in this "100%" playthrough

[south wasp]

Genuine proof that even bandits is more civilised than people worshipping a rock /j

[forest tapir]

I can’t bring myself to do any other ending besides Streloks, I got Kaymanov but I didn’t like the outcome

[charred nova]

roleplay is banned for a reason in this sever

people take it too far every time

[slow crypt]

bloodsuker

[charred nova]

bandits do love bloodsuckers this is true

[south wasp]

Hmmm, yuh

[forest tapir]

I should note I don’t like the Strelok outcome but I think it’s the least bad

[proven hollow]

tss, hearsay, we don't worship a rock, we worship the voice in the back of our heads

[worldly ingot]

I hate that I will have to do the doctor and scar ones but eh

[south wasp]

False information

[charred nova]

unfortunately true information

[forest tapir]

Really the Strelok ending aligns more with Duty, while the Kaymanov ending aligns more with Freedom. They don’t exactly match beliefs but if somebody likes Freedom they’re more likely to like Kaymanovs ending if that makes sense

[worldly ingot]

It's pretty good that they made every ending that way tbh, did you see what the original Oblivion Lost (first planned STALKER game) ending was supposed to be?

[south wasp]

🤔

[worldly ingot]

Like that they made every ending "bad"

[forest tapir]

Nah, I never learned much about that besides it turned into SoC

[worldly ingot]

Basically a version of a poltergeist possesses strelok at the monolith war lab, he escapes the zone and one shots everyone in the world lmao

[visual mortar]

impatience invites anxiety. your mind toils on whether your expectations are met. wherefore does it matter?

[forest tapir]

this is so crazy it’s funny 😭

what is the thought process behind that

[worldly ingot]

I mean in essence it's that there is a bit more lore behind it but the english translation is weird since random russians translated it from very early builds

[proven hollow]

well the eventual thought process is that it should be scrapped 😛

[south wasp]

Huh????!!!

[forest tapir]

That makes sense then. Also not to drag back to Prypiat but I do hope they add more of Prypiat to HoC

[charred nova]

it is the greatest psych op in history the mutant dialog has always been bandit dialog

[forest tapir]

it’s too funny to keep I guess

[south wasp]

Man... all of the allegations against freedomer and yet the original dialogues came from bandits

[proven hollow]

Freedom are just smelly anarchists

[south wasp]

The monolith psyops is real people, watch out!!

[worldly ingot]

Someone here said they will bring northern prypiat to DLC 2 probably 😄

[proven hollow]

your unwillingness to embrace the glory of the monolith will be your downfall!

[worldly ingot]

The game was meant to be much darker overall too, the first quest you had was sinister af from what I remember

[forest tapir]

I really hope so. There’s a portion of it on the map that you can’t enter for some reason

[forest tapir]

Some more grim parts would be nice, but I believe SoC was a great start for stalker

[worldly ingot]

Freedom, bandits they're all the same 🙂

[proven hollow]

truth, only freedom smells worse

[south wasp]

✅

[south wasp]

I can confirm

[worldly ingot]

Yeah SoC was great, I started with CoP though as a kid as the guy that made my dad the PC put that and some other game on it 😅

[forest tapir]

We better be able to takeover Rostok from the freedom filth

[proven hollow]

if not i'd be so dissapointed

[south wasp]

At least when bandits ransack you out of your wallets, at least it teaches you life lesson, freedomers in the other hand...

[forest tapir]

CoP was my first game and I never played the rest until a couple of years before HoC came out

[charred nova]

bro is not actually interested in listen to reasons why he might be wrong bro has already accepted he is right

[forest tapir]

me too, the cement factory is a nice little area but there’s no reason to go there besides travel through to the cooling which isn’t really a quest filled area either

[worldly ingot]

I speedran CS tbh because I was already into Anomaly at that point, SoC was good tho

[proven hollow]

i thought that's why you put tamsnapple on the case

[lethal kernel]

Now that is a inspirational cope, sir, thank you.

[worldly ingot]

I just now realized Malachite is fully locked off for me cuz I went Strelok have to go through the sewer

[proven hollow]

and giving money to freedom just feels icky

[forest tapir]

I wanted to play anomaly really bad but I played the OG games when we still had the family computer that was dying

[charred nova]

true

[charred nova]

Sir did you remember to pour ice in a glass this morning

[worldly ingot]

Lmao I feel you, CoC was fun too as a buggy sandbox type game

[forest tapir]

I reserve my money for yaniv or the slag heap normally

[forest tapir]

I wish I got into mods earlier but I never did. I liked CS and I don’t understand people’s dislike for it besides the swamps

[worldly ingot]

Also I only found out later that vendors all pay the same no matter if they're green or white on the map, only thing that changes is repair cost afaik?

[forest tapir]

I thought clear sky (the faction) was cool and lymansk was nice

[proven hollow]

Clear Sky are just nerds tho

[forest tapir]

I haven’t really checked, on my old save I was friends with everyone except the Ward and Malachite because the Ward kept jumping me outside of their base. I could only get in through the entrance Scar shows you

[rapid parrot]

What’s the new dlc and is it good?

[proven hollow]

duty/freedom stuff and we dont know it aint out yet

[forest tapir]

I like the light blue they wore. Something about Sparks armor just doesn’t look as good

[worldly ingot]

I wanted to mod STALKER 2 a bit but figured I'll want to return to the save file I am on rn when new content drops come

[rapid parrot]

So more closeted mutant lovers and out of the closet mutant lover stuff

Can’t wait

[proven hollow]

No,exclusively out of the closet, there's no closeted mutant lovers

[forest tapir]

If I had a PC I’d like to learn how to mod, currently saving up right now

[worldly ingot]

Ye it is that way for some reason and the vendors buying price increases over the course of the story for some reason, at first it's like 18 for bandage then 21 then 22, and ofc it has a bigger spike for weapons and such

[rapid parrot]

I don’t know, every Duty fan I’ve met has a secret crush and some weird pictures saved to their phones

[worldly ingot]

Hope u get it soon, I bought mine for like 550 euro and it can run the game well on low settings so I am happy 🙂

[forest tapir]

Yeah that kinda sucks. I always played on stalker difficulty and I’m doing veteran on my new save and it’s so hard to pay for stuff I’m not gonna lie

[forest tapir]

Thanks man, my brother built his so I’m gonna try and build mine so it can run games well, but it’ll take a while probably

[worldly ingot]

There are a few farming spots that are basically cheat codes tho 😅 I am on master and I had a lot of trial and error, I died a TON

[proven hollow]

that's not exclusive to duty, honestly Monolith are the only sane persons in the zone, like have you heard Scar and Strelok talk? F-ing lunatics

[worldly ingot]

Like the gauntlet for example is enough to sustain your economy, and the malachite trader that buys parts (Bayun and Hornheads) is insane profit

[worldly ingot]

Strelok not so much Scar is gone tho

[forest tapir]

I would do master but missions like legends of the zone scares me away. mainly due to the pseudogiant

[worldly ingot]

There aint much up there

[forest tapir]

I’ll have to test these, thank you

[worldly ingot]

Nah for me it was definitely the first duga assault tbh the faust clones are insanely unfair + the stagger in which they can kill you + psi dmg trying to escape, idk how one would not savescum that part

[charred nova]

duty members are all coal miners because there not smart enough to even work in the assembly factory

[forest tapir]

I like how crazy scar is and if I went through what he did I think I’d go crazy too. Strelok I like the most but he can sound a little crazy sometimes, not nearly as much though yeah

[worldly ingot]

Also one guy said the final Scar fight was insanely unfair

[forest tapir]

That too, the Faust boss fight messed me up the first time

[worldly ingot]

Yeah Strelok is a bit gone but in a good way Scar is just annoying trying to roleplay as the village shaman

[forest tapir]

I had the most trouble with Strelok or Korshunov I think

[charred nova]

scar is just very poorly written spark is in general

[forest tapir]

If I found out my memories weren’t my own I think I’d probably go on a killing spree

[charred nova]

they are much like duty in that they got literally nothing going for them

they are literally just wrong

[worldly ingot]

Boss fight was fine but the first duga assault especially I mean, I somehow one shot Fausts psi emitter with an RPG shot lol, had to redo it for the other achievement tho

[charred nova]

there isn't any angle that spark is right

[worldly ingot]

Copium

[charred nova]

truthium

[worldly ingot]

John I will have to notch you down to my 2nd favourite freedomer spot soon if you continue like this

I will not take this slander

[forest tapir]

When I did the part where you had to grab his hand for the achievement and found out it restarted me I was gonna lose my mind

[worldly ingot]

Lmao ye and on steam it's like one of the rarest achievements too, everyone picks the correct option

[proven hollow]

Freedom so busy making memes they won't know what hit 'm when the singular 4 men strong Duty squad rolls in and takes back rostok

[forest tapir]

I think all the freedom weed tends to make freedumbers do less smart things

[charred nova]

never forget who won the faction wars

we got like 5x the score of duty

[forest tapir]

duty will rise again

at least I hope so

[charred nova]

we will destroy duty

[worldly ingot]

Army warehouses looking real empty in my GAMMA saves

[forest tapir]

I would wipe out rostok if it wasn’t a central hub

[proven hollow]

the entirety of freedom could not make a dent in the helmet of the weakest duty member

[worldly ingot]

2 dead poltergeists and 2 dead bandits sitting at the brain scorcher, not something you see every day

[sage dew]

_Guise my STAWKEW just downloaded 1.7 gigs of ???

[charred nova]

history has proven this to be false

[worldly ingot]

where tho

[charred nova]

duty will always be the airsoft players of the zone

[forest tapir]

the Ward rigged D4 if you ask me

[charred nova]

simply larping

[worldly ingot]

what did freedom do to duty despite Skull's plan not working out in the end?

[shell flax]

The entire zone is larping

[worldly ingot]

Like just that because in lore that would mean Freedom is wiped out and they couldn't do that

[charred nova]

skull's plan

[proven hollow]

only reason freedom is remotely relevant in S2 is because Ward put them in charge of Rostok since they'd know the meek little cowards would never stand against them

[charred nova]

idk what that be tbh or i just don't remember

[charred nova]

neither did duty bro

[main jewel]

not with voronin

[charred nova]

lets get real

[forest tapir]

I don’t like voronin.. zulu is cool though

[main jewel]

voronin is genuinely retarded

[charred nova]

duty was quite happy sucking wards cock

[proven hollow]

"bUt wHAt abOuT" we talking about freedom here tho

[forest tapir]

anybody who went through the prypiat underpass I love

[main jewel]

i did

so did jack

[charred nova]

👍

[main jewel]

you must love alot of people

everyone who has finished call of pripyat

[forest tapir]

Ends justify the means ig

[charred nova]

ward just abandoned them

[worldly ingot]

That's 3 normal + 1 thermal + 1 acid poltergeists at the brain scorcher, thank you game, very cool

[sudden rapids]

does he know?

[sage dew]

But what is the 1,7GIG update ?

[forest tapir]

duty ended D4

[forest tapir]

I talked about that yesterday. An M701 can one shot them I believe

[worldly ingot]

yeah to the head, gauss too (obviously)

[charred nova]

why doesn't the zone have a bfg50a

missed oppertunity

[worldly ingot]

Saiga drum mag does wonders tho 🙂

[forest tapir]

Oh I forgot you’re on master actually, mb

[forest tapir]

I never found the drum mag I don’t believe

[worldly ingot]

Never forget

[worldly ingot]

Yeah I almost got 2 shot in diamond exo from them because they threw things at the same time and I didnt hear them cuz I got music on lol

[sage dew]

The drum mag for Saiga is a thing? I only found extended mag

[forest tapir]

you’ll probably get to kill him in the dlc

[worldly ingot]

Prypiat docks next to a dead body

[charred nova]

still wish the zone got a fal

[worldly ingot]

Prypiat docks next to a dead body 🙂

[sage dew]

Oh baby!

many tanks

[forest tapir]

I hate poltergeists the most. they’re the worst mutant

[charred nova]

missed opportunity to not add a Rhodesian fal

[forest tapir]

Once I make it to Prypiat on this save I’ll get there

[worldly ingot]

Nah Bayun for me, those guys really put a dent in you

[forest tapir]

There’s a cemetery in cooling towers where I got jumped by two bayuns, a pack of blind dogs, mercs, ward, and a pseudodog

[sage dew]

The polts suck double since the bug causes telekinesis object to go thru solid walls (buerers can also fkin go jump in the pit)

[worldly ingot]

Lmao, had a few of those encounters where legit everything comes to kill you too 🙂

[forest tapir]

Yeah I’ve gotten killed like that

[worldly ingot]

Burers in buildings casually tossing crates into your skull through walls

[forest tapir]

I hate Ward and Mercs get on my nerves so much

[worldly ingot]

Which is also why the thought of a permadeath run still feels too hard to me, the game still has a good bit of bugs

[sage dew]

Polts fcked me up on the coolin towers crane (the one with scanner) I had exo still without sprinting upgrade, two spawned, nowhere to *jog no where to hide I died like 40 times ... rage quitted 2x

[worldly ingot]

Mercs most fun faction to play through gamma with though, and duty 🙂

[forest tapir]

Yeah, hopefully the free DLC will fix some

[sage dew]

Yup

[worldly ingot]

And overall burers couldn't do anything in the originals when they put their shield up, here it's just an aura of invincibility lmao

[forest tapir]

I’d like to try Anomaly/GAMMA someday but some of the people who only have played GAMMA are annoying

[worldly ingot]

I think I died like 15 times no joke to the double burer side mission in cement factory

[forest tapir]

I wanted to kill that guy that has you go down there so hard

[worldly ingot]

Because they want to change stalker into GAMMA while stalker was never really like it

[forest tapir]

I think of CoP when i think of stalker

[worldly ingot]

On master it's legit a one shot if you don't just bait them into you while shooting from the platform above

[worldly ingot]

Same tbh like the bloodsucker nest as a kid is still a core memory for me lmao

[forest tapir]

Master would be a good way to improve patience

[sage dew]

Same now, no? I was trained by cop (and mods that brought buerers to SHOC) that u just wait for shield to go down

I mostly knife the fkers and Skifpistol them in the eye, they cant make you drop that ... I WISH THEY COULD !

[forest tapir]

That and the spatial anomaly thing with Duty, also the Prypiat Underpass is my favorite location in any of the games

There’s just something so cool about it

[worldly ingot]

Yup it's all about patience there

[worldly ingot]

You mean in HoC? They still do things like throw objectives at you while they have their shield up, from what I remember in the originals they had to raise their hands up and channel it

[bitter plover]

Gamma is nice. But its not Stalker. Its more like some kind of spin off in Stalker world with tons of fan fiction lore (which many gamma plp think, that its canon, bcs they never played OGs. So yeah, they are anoying)

[forest tapir]

Yeah that explains a lot

[worldly ingot]

Yup it was insanely fun, also as a kid not knowing how to search up things about the game made the mystery even more intriguing

[bold smelt]

anomaly is pretty fun but its meant to be customized with addons, the base-game unmodified is pretty ass

[sage dew]

yeah in older games they can either throw sht or use same power to generate shield - which was fair ... the object also respected laws of physics xD

[bitter plover]

its good for sandbox survival gameplay and for more hardcore players tho

[worldly ingot]

Honestly tried GAMMA for a few hours today but went back to Stalker 2, maybe when it wears off on me I'll come back

[forest tapir]

It’s such a good game man

[sage dew]

What I hate most is they shoot you with empty, broken guns ,,,

[forest tapir]

When I get a PC I’ll definitely try it

[bitter plover]

[worldly ingot]

I mean master stalker 2 even without the bugs is kinda hard too if you dont cheese it

[bold smelt]

i find call of the zone to be more fun though because its closer to the trilogy

[sage dew]

Also anomaly is as big install as Stalker 2 xD

[bold smelt]

HELL NO it isnt

[bitter plover]

it rly is. But some things are not balanced well and get too hardcore like Strelok fight

[bold smelt]

anomaly is 20 gigabytes while stalker 2 is 150

[worldly ingot]

Stalker 2 is 140 gigs anomaly is like 25-30

[sage dew]

hmm so gamma then?

[bold smelt]

gamma is a lot but thats like 80 gigs

[worldly ingot]

Lmao haven't been to the ending fights yet, but the first duga fight was hell for me, faust was easy compared to that

[bold smelt]

base anomaly is actually about 10 gigabytes iirc

[bitter plover]

Gamma is big, bcs its like 500-700 addons now ir what

[sage dew]

I dont know either of them I was gonna install that but then I saw I will need 120 gigs of space and I just noped

[worldly ingot]

like 80+unpacking it all a bit over 100

[bitter plover]

its hardcore now bcs of the bug, where enemies shoot trough walls mostly

[bold smelt]

regular anomaly is about as lightweight as any other mod

[forest tapir]

The main thing that interests me about GAMMA is being able to play as a faction

[sage dew]

heh I returned for CoC for a bit ... and now I am quite fine with S2

[bitter plover]

thats in any anomaly, not just gamma

[forest tapir]

Ohh, mb

[sage dew]

Playin on Bazzite makes it run pretty nicely with my 5070

[worldly ingot]

Ye I tried to go back to GAMMA today but just couldn't, I love STALKER 2 🙂

[bold smelt]

that isnt a gamma specific feature so id recommend anomaly or call of the zone for that instead

[bitter plover]

its basicaly what base anomaly was about. Sandbox gameplay, where you play as member of any faction. Gamma is just modpack, that makes the anomaly gameplay more survivalish and hardcore

[forest tapir]

I’ll have to try call to the zone someday

[forest tapir]

That sounds interesting. I’ve heard the guy who made GAMMA isn’t the nicest guy though

[bitter plover]

Yeah. Grok is Grok.

[worldly ingot]

Glad I can run S2 on a solid 90-100fps on low settings, I have an RX6650XT and a 5700G, quite a cheap build but it works

[bitter plover]

I mourn anyone who cant play Stalker 2 on highest settings possible, bcs the game looks phenomenal with it

[worldly ingot]

Yeah but it's kinda like music for me, you can enjoy the art seperate from the artist

[forest tapir]

That’s a good point

[worldly ingot]

It still looks quite nice on these settings tho tbh, the pc overall cost me like 650 with the monitor and gear so I am quite happy overall

[bitter plover]

Stalker 2 has also very good HDR implementation, so on good OLED with good HDR, its even better

[visual mortar]

are you in full control of your muscles

[worldly ingot]

Also so far in 120 hrs I've only had 1 crash so far in the game and that was yesterday when I went to exit to main menu lol, thought it would be way more as it was the case in previous games

[bitter plover]

it crashed more on release

[sage dew]

I have everything on epic 60-80 FPS ... enough for me ... old PC had 2080ti everything on high and I was getting lik 30-40 - I dont mind playing stalker around 80. Shoc back in 2007 moved 20 FPS xD

[forest tapir]

After I uninstalled some mods on console my game would crash whenever I tried to save, so I had to clear my space and redo my settings

[bitter plover]

still not anyway close to average Fallout with its crashes tho

[worldly ingot]

Shame that most reviews are from a year ago when it was on like 1.3? and people don't get how much the game improved, I thought it was more unpolished than it is when I bought it but took a gamble

[worldly ingot]

Lmao I could get medium on like 60 I think but I prefer smoothness to graphics

[forest tapir]

STALKER isn’t really the type of thing I’m normally interested in, but overtime it became my favorite game series ever and HoC is probably my favorite game ever now

[bitter plover]

yeah. It changed a lot, but it was released product, so its fair. DLC and UE update might bring new reviews tho

[worldly ingot]

Modding fallout NV is an experience

[worldly ingot]

DLC will bring a lot of people back I am sure

[bitter plover]

i would say that majority of ppl is waiting for UE update and DLC

[old aurora]

What are all the abilities of the heart of Chornobyl?

[worldly ingot]

It's getting up there for me too tbh, next to Dying Light and Fallout New Vegas and Metal Gear Solid V

Metal Gear V is kinda unfinished tho so I would take it out of that

[forest tapir]

My brother really likes New Vegas. Normally I’m interested in historical games because I love history but there’s something about stalker I love so much

[old aurora]

HoC is my second favorite game right behind Far Cry 5

[forest tapir]

Don’t kill me but I enjoyed FC6

[old aurora]

Anyway. What are all the abilities of the heart of Chornobyl?

[sage dew]

Yeah in other games sure - xD however to be honest there isnt that much difference between high and epic xept maybe sky quality ... xD

[forest tapir]

I don’t know if that’s still an unpopular thing to say

[worldly ingot]

The atmosphere is surreal, also why I love Dying Light just looking at the city from a rooftop with the interesting ambiance music while night descends is peak game design

[sage dew]

The frame generation is bad tho, it seems smoother, but then in some places it chugs worse than without it xD

[forest tapir]

That’s fair. I do the same thing in Prypiat in HoC

[worldly ingot]

Fair, the only thing that bugs me on low settings is the pixelated rain droplets when they fall 🙂

[old aurora]

You're good. Far Cry 6 was a let down but it wasn't a horrible game although I haven't played it yet. It was just so hated since it was an ok game coming from a game series of amazing-perfect games.

[visual mortar]

43

[sage dew]

the heck? xD

[forest tapir]

I mainly play Far Cry games for the environment/map because they’re really interesting

[old aurora]

I like the gameplay, graphics, story, and music personally

[bronze holly]

Patch today?

[old aurora]

Environment too

[worldly ingot]

Idk if you've ever seen the game but it's something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f661Wtfy4rM 🙂

[forest tapir]

The gameplay is fun too yeah, I really liked Cuba but FC5 was my first Far Cry

[old aurora]

Hope County was so beautiful it caused me to do research into Montana itself

[sage dew]

mysterious 1.7 gigs?

[worldly ingot]

Ye it's a bit annoying but what can you do 😅 I could fix it in settings but eh

[old aurora]

Mine too

[forest tapir]

Is this a zombie game? I remember my brother saying something about playing a new dying light game

[old aurora]

And after doing some research...

[worldly lion]

Hey guy what does it mean when you see like a bajillion artifacts with the valess detector in stalker

[worldly ingot]

Yup with insanely good parkour and mechanics (like breaking their legs with slides and high jump kicks and such), Dying Light 2 didn't have the same atmosphere haven't checked out "The Beast" that your brother probably saw tho

[old aurora]

I found where I want to move to after law school

[forest tapir]

That sounds pretty fun actually, yeah it was The Beast, that was on the tip of my tongue and I couldn’t remember

[worldly ingot]

Kept up with it somewhat, chilling on this game on late high school nights back in the day was peak though

[sage dew]

Hey - to each his own. I know a guy who always turned everything on the absolute lowest in he games (competetive call of duty II) player he hated foliage xD One day I was like "EW dud why does your game look like quake II (didnt know its the quake engine back in the day) and he was like "so that I can see enemies better!" and it did hit like 200 FPS ... whis on his 30hz CRT wis bit redundant, but yeah... there are benefits of low settings. But I am an escapist I enjoy nice visuals

[worldly lion]

Could some explain

[forest tapir]

It’s a nice looking game. Outside of HoC, my favorite game would probably be KCD2

[forest tapir]

There’s fake artifacts nearby

I fell for it in Prypiat

[worldly ingot]

Lmao yeah I was a semi professional league of legends player a few years ago for example and I always play with everything turned to the lowest so I can see abilities as clear as I can, everyone always comments how ugly it looks 😂

[sage dew]

as Czech this warms my heart

[worldly ingot]

Bought it on PS4 but bought a PC then and never got around to it :/

[forest tapir]

Medieval history is awesome bro, I’d love to visit the castles there someday

[worldly ingot]

My cousin played the f out of it and his friend too, I saw the gameplay it's a beautiful game

[sage dew]

They are epic - castle on every hill over here its ridiculous xD

[forest tapir]

I got my brother addicted to it. You should definitely play it if you have the time, it’s a very long game

[forest tapir]

That would be beautiful

[worldly ingot]

Will try it soon probably while I still have a good amount of free time

[forest tapir]

Yeah, it took me over a week of in-game time to complete it, I can’t even remember how long it took me in real life

Historical games are my favorite genre

[worldly ingot]

Damn that's insane, here in Croatia there's not that many even though we have a few in the region I live in, Austrian ones are beautiful though

[worldly ingot]

Not sure how in game time is calculated there but nice 🙂

[forest tapir]

I’d love to go to Croatia. I’m part Croatian (25%) and my last time is Croatian

[forest tapir]

I had 8 days and some I think

[worldly ingot]

Every part of the country is beautiful besides the capital 😅

Zadar especially to me, don’t go to Dubrovnik tho 🙂

[forest tapir]

I understand, I live in the states and our state capitol is… not the best

[worldly ingot]

Ah yeah makes sense, I always liked the middle mountainy? part of the states though for some reason

Also did they confirm Lymansk in the DLC because it only mentions CNPP and iron forest on the steam page

[forest tapir]

Yeah I know what you mean, my state is pretty boring and empty sadly

[forest tapir]

I don’t think so, I was hoping Lymansk would maybe be a surprise addition but I doubt it

[worldly ingot]

Everyone talks about it so I just kinda assumed it was :/

[forest tapir]

That’s fair. I think it’s the most anticipated region

[worldly ingot]

In the trailer it looks like the abandoned hospital connected to lymansk tho

[forest tapir]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

[cyan sparrow]

YouTube says patch will split us

[worldly ingot]

Some ppl were talking about some 1.7gb update too?

[charred nova]

truth be told its a hold out

till the dlc is ready

its as mol1t says

its a very small update

[worldly ingot]

The x18 one? Ye i mean they said so, expecting just a quest

[charred nova]

that is correct

[bitter plover]

They specificaly says two Regions as CNPP and Iron Forest. Lymansk will be location, not new Region. Thats why they mentions only those two

[sage dew]

The truth update out?

[cyan sparrow]

There are only lies

[worldly ingot]

So Lymansk will be very small you mean? Doesnt make much sense though

[bitter plover]

Oh no...not this again

[forest tapir]

that kinda sucks, I was hoping we’d get to explore everything

beggars can’t be choosers I guess

[sage dew]

Clickfarming

Dave does that xD

[worldly ingot]

Only a part of Lymansk ig which is dissapointing, I hoped for the entire city especially after that radio transmition at the tunnel

[forest tapir]

Same lol

[bitter plover]

There is difference between location and region. Region is bigger, has its own hub. Quests And etc. Lymansk will be just city. Will be probably part of already existing region.

[worldly ingot]

Isn’t Lymansk and parts of prypiat and hospital basically the only location the game is missing?

[forest tapir]

To be fair, regions like Yantar don’t have a hub

[bitter plover]

I know Bro. I know it more than you would think

[worldly ingot]

From the main trilogy

[forest tapir]

Yeah, I think they’re gonna add Cold Island someday but that’s not from the trilogy

[sage dew]

Possible

[worldly ingot]

Yantar is the only noticeable one since the others at least have adjacent hubs ye

Rostok and Malachite are the closest to it

[forest tapir]

Yeah that’s true. I want a Swamps hub though because its so annoying but i know it’d ruin the swamps experience

[bitter plover]

Yeah. I just described it that way. Regions are bigger. Much bigger. Lymansk will be probably just part of existing region. Imo

[worldly ingot]

Part of Red Forest would make sense

[forest tapir]

I hope it’s a region by itself but I understand why it’d be part of like Red Forest, like centurion said

[ember cradle]

Just finished stalker 2

[worldly ingot]

Damn youre fast, could’ve enjoyed the ride some more 🙂

[forest tapir]

Congrats, did you like it

[ember cradle]

I really enjoyed it

[forest tapir]

That’s good

[bitter plover]

They would then mention it too. It has to be part of existing one or some kind of other Reason for it. Its not deffinitely some kind go secrecy or surprise. It was literaly in trailer

[forest tapir]

That’s true I guess

[bitter plover]

Agree

[worldly ingot]

Go explore pripyat fully now 🙂

[south parcel]

I'm getting confused

[sage dew]

I have a bug btw where emissions dont do any damage anymore xD

[south parcel]

Sealed truth is patch 1.9 right?

[worldly ingot]

Also you could see the scope they wanted the game to have post SIRCAA, I am sure they also planned for a lot more locations to get besieged by the monolith like Zalissya was

[worldly ingot]

Yup

[bitter plover]

Yes.

[worldly ingot]

But small patch since a larger portion is working on both DLC and engine upgrades 🙂

[bitter plover]

Its very very small

[south parcel]

No biggie

[sage dew]

I would like to see difficulty menu like Dark Ages has it - custom diff - from brutal masochistic self punishment to powerfantasy of doing 400% more damage xD

[worldly ingot]

I just hope we won’t need new saves for future patches is all

[cyan sparrow]

Bait him back

[worldly ingot]

Even tho we probably will

[sage dew]

New game? I am at my 400h of first playthru ...

[bitter plover]

There were some datamines about it. It might come in future

[cyan sparrow]

Too much afk

[worldly ingot]

Ye understandable just mean in future bigger ones

Would’ve been funny if they put invictus as an achievement, would like to see how few would platinum it then lmao

[sage dew]

what is invictus?

[worldly ingot]

It’s actually not in the originals, but “For those who doesn't know, Invictus is an achievement in Anomaly that you can get by finishing the main plot with the hardest difficulty settings enabled: Hard/Survivalist (and don't touch them ingame), 2 Lives only (you can also enable a Life-granter or give yourself more lives just to be able to continue, even if you fail the challenge itself) and no cheats.”

[sage dew]

How do you guys like the map placement btw? Coming from Coc it was bit confusing, but the more I play S2 the more I enjoy the "empty" areas inbetween... tho the way the terrain is ripped appart and flooded is bit ridiculous, I was looking forward thick forest, not islands xD

[sage dew]

oh .. my playthru started on day one so no chance to switch to new master diff

[worldly ingot]

Everything besides zaton is well placed imo

[sage dew]

Why Zaton?

[tall hawk]

Dark Ages is so peak twin ✌️🥹

[worldly ingot]

First game was CoP for me and the placement of jupiter zaton and outskirts being close to eachother just stuck to me

[sage dew]

heh for me D16 is peak, but DA was OK I guess xD but this is STALKER discord xD

[worldly ingot]

Also I thought the Pilot guy in CoP flew you to other areas by plane 😭

[sage dew]

I see yeah I play since OG shoc series, was looking forward since E3 2003 actually , so best maps for me has Lost Alpha or oblivion lost xD heh but I am weird... Cop is my least played stalker even tho it was the most polished on from the OG series...

[bitter plover]

Arma Warehouses not. They doesnt make sense.

[worldly ingot]

Yeah but army warehouses is weird, if radar is in Malachite basically where is the barrier lmao

[sage dew]

Oh I just found Nightstalker OOO xD

[worldly ingot]

Ye for me it was CoP then 2 playthroughs of SoC and CS only then started modding 🙂

[worldly ingot]

Lmao I have to find it too, never bothered yet, ik its in the burnt forest somewhere

[sage dew]

its at Swinery roof

... tbh fully modded Skiffs pistol is still fine xD especially now with slightly nerfed NPCs and Nighvission. I snook into military occupied checkpoint with 6 guys in there and rapidly headshoted all of them with one mag of AP amo ... I couldnt belive my own eyes. that was some Special forces sht xD

[worldly ingot]

I think Rhino is the strongest tbh, anything that one shots exosuits to the head lol 😅 when I am trying to play seriously I go Diamond Exo/Rhino/Margarch Saiga/Whip

[sage dew]

heh yeah rhino is good. I love how when u use the "mutant ammo" the expansive ammo you can sit the snorks on their asss in one hit

Lately I made it to pripyat, (the quest - find way to Pripyat) I run with Sledgehammer, Rhino, and silenced Lynx - I thought SVDs are useless untill I started ignoring the tracer trajectory and slapped silencer there

till then Clusterfuck was my fav weapon even over the Vintorez... But now the Lynx

silencer really changed it

[dreamy dagger]

Dark Ages are upon us if we're to get the Engine Upgrade in 1 year

[worldly ingot]

Honestly I mostly use standard ammo since special ammo depletes durability hard

[worldly ingot]

Yeah snipers have quite a nice purpose considering the bullet travel and things of normal rifles, kharod and dnipro just feel meh with the 2 shot headshot kill for me

[sage dew]

Should be the other way around tho. regular shut fk up your gun, the special ammo types should decrease wear ...

[sage dew]

Thats why I was wishing for master difficulty to 2-3x the damage globally (like Fallout4 survival or Metro Hardcore Ranger offers)

but its up to mods ... and I will wait for engine update and debug before I dive into modes again

[worldly ingot]

yup but they went for "game balance" over realism, a 9x19 pp bizon does more damage than a 7.62x39 kalashnikov 😂

[worldly ingot]

Yeah I'd use mods but I will want to return to my main playthrough one day so I am still debating it, maybe when I 100% the game

5.45*

[sage dew]

its dumb ... also bandits fullauto running and shooting and all the bullets home into your forehead which still sometimes happens is also dumb xD

I cant hit them crouched single shotting and the fkin sprint and full auto spray AND HIT me

I gave GSC feedback on that. NOt even as ballance angle, but logic angle. Zone - NPCs should atleast pretend to try and save ammo ... nobody would just magdump at shadows xD thats murican movie logic

I still remember old Ghost Recon 1 and its ballance vs realism chefs kiss that fkin amazing! Not hardcore like ARMA, but created these tense situations

[worldly ingot]

Didn't really have the fullauto running and shooting experience but aimbot yeah 😅

[sage dew]

They dialed it back a lot with each patch

[worldly ingot]

And bandits shouldn't really have the same accuracy as highly trained Ward or Monolithians

[worldly ingot]

But this same critique can be applied to GAMMA

[sage dew]

but day one? HOly smokes it was insane bandints and soldiers go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from 80m while moving from conver to cover and all shots landing ... like what the F xD and if they had the NPCs switching to single shot and either shoot OR run but not both

it would instantly seem much more fair and more tactical

Exactly this worked in Ghost Recon - it created illusion of thinking enemies. they move, duck (or go prone) pop off few well aimed shots and only when close or covering moving comrades did they cover with full auto fire

not this CHEEKY BREEKY style xD

[worldly ingot]

Lmao sounds interesting

[worldly ingot]

Lmao it's that stalker atmosphere, bandits in dark valley with the radio in CoC were peak 😂

[sage dew]

I sitll have bandit_radio.ogg as my ringing tone on my phone xD

You can instantly recognize STALKER fans in the bus when you get a call xD

[jolly canyon]

I also wish for this. Are there any plans for a survival/ hardcore mode being implemented?

[vapid galleon]

do you get it?

[cyan sparrow]

I hope so.

[worldly ingot]

After trying it out I must say I am in love with the Ram-2 rn

It legit mauls people

[proven hollow]

What is the smelliest faction and why is it Freedom?

[worldly ingot]

Definitely freedom

[dire heart]

isnt there ment to be 2 psudo giants outside where the texan is ?

[shell flax]

Only one

[brittle charm]

I vividly remember 2 pseudogiants chasing me when I got there

[dire heart]

must of been changed then when game first came out there was 2

[barren canopy]

Odds are it was an A life bug. I had 2 chimeras at the tunnel in Zaton on my current playthrough.

[mild haven]

The skunk

[marble gyro]

Man I'm hungry

[meager crag]

Hi hungry :D

[velvet spire]

yo guys what's the best exo skeleton in the game? I have diamond, liberty and psz-21W shturm

[mortal roost]

hey, so i just redownlaod stalker after year and found out im still stuck in x7 lab at the end of the game, is there a way how to get on surface or they still didnt add free roam after main campaign

[dire heart]

i dont think theres any free roam after game finishes

[worldly ingot]

I was told it was 2 but also ended up only seeing 1, maybe the other died fighting since there were 5 bodies around the bunker but I doubt it

[worldly ingot]

Diamond exo overall, you also have ruby or operator for arm servos which give your guns +20% accuracy so you can kinda run and gun with shotguns if you'd like 🙂

[worldly ingot]

No post game yet, but I'd replay the game since (from my knowledge) a ton changed, especially with A life

[frigid hill]

sunkair has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[velvet spire]

Thanks G

[final vigil]

Noo!!! I sold out Kazkovyi camp for 30k to Skull but freaking i killed him thinking I can get the camp their satellite piece AND keep the money but now I see what's happened to them lol

I'm going to reload

[worldly ingot]

Can't get both lmao, overall you can make money quite well just by doing a few hours of farming so you shouldn't miss content for it

[worldly ingot]

And kazkovyi post that mission gives you more than the 35k he gives u anyways 🙂

[final vigil]

AWesome

lol Skull left a note sorry Skully you have to go

Ooooh so Skull isn't even there when I'm taking the receiver it's his group lol

I'm looking at the name of the Duty in the center and its not Skull

[worldly ingot]

yup skull doesn't show up until a later extremely cool mission 🙂

[worldly ingot]

ye he is in the last mission of the quest

[final vigil]

AWesomed

[astral otter]

Didn't know that. Does diamond give any buffs to accuracy? Or just protections and carry weight?

[river chasm]

I don't recall that but it does have all around excellent defense and carry capacity

[quiet grove]

there is a way or mod to remove the flashbang effect when i leave some place a little dark to the light of the day ?

i got blind for 4s, almost full white screen

im not using any reshade stuff

[vale shadow]

Where I can find thunderberry?

[vale shadow]

It's kinda make sense, btw

[worldly ingot]

It doesn't and that's why not everyone defaults to diamond, only ruby and operator get that upgrade along with 5% stamina regen on the best paths :), the texan becomes a good mid range weapon because of it even against heavy exos

[fiery ibex]

I am super confused

It says on my PlayStation store that there’s multiplayer

When is that coming?

[vernal lily]

Soon™

[fiery ibex]

._. I think I ended you in Duga, are you another clone? Or psi hallucination?

[fiery ibex]

Also when is “soon”

[vernal lily]

I don't think anyone knows atm

[astral otter]

Cheers! I haven't come accross either yet, but I'll keep my eye out for them in the zone.

[worldly ingot]

We can all hope it isn't coming and that they focus on the game first and foremost

[worldly ingot]

Quick hint is the operator is obtained before going to Jupiter/Pripyat and ruby is post pripyat 🙂

[worldly ingot]

By the tempo they are going with like 3 years from now lmao

[vernal lily]

-# hopefully never

[worldly ingot]

That too

[forest tapir]

when you ask moth (the merc downed by a bloodsucker in rostok) to give you more money and he says he will get the entire mercenary faction to hunt you, does that actually affect mercs shooting you or not

[worldly ingot]

Ah the one that killed the freedomers next to him? I shot him point blank and yes merc squads do start hunting you, mercenary faction by itself is hostile from the start anyways no?

[final vigil]

lol I took out like 50 soldiers at Malachite base and I just went back in the base like nothing

I would keep it as such if the soldiers didn't have garbage gear

[forest tapir]

I believe so. I wanna kill him for killing loners but I mean that’s just his job AND he did kill some freedomers which is always positive

well he didn’t kill the freedomers technically I guess

[worldly ingot]

Eh I killed him for being an asshole to me if I remember right, whenever someone says Rostok like that I forget that they renamed that part, it was Wild Territory in previous games

[forest tapir]

I use rostok because I mainly play stalker 2 now

[final vigil]

Nvm as soon as I came out someone from inside alerted lol

[worldly ingot]

ye understandable I just default to the old names

[forest tapir]

that’s fair

[polar forge]

Wow lol. I stopped playing CoP bc i thought the entire game was just in Zaton. Turns out there are two more regions separated by loading screens later on

Going to play it again now

[harsh jungle]

bruh lol

[vernal lily]

Lol

[robust pendant]

You didnt even zoom out the map? 💀

[polar forge]

Yeah i did, but you cant see the other maps until you get there. Only one at a time. Unless im missing something

[robust pendant]

What?

You can see them lol, the pda shows them all

[fervent island]

Tho, the best content of the entire game it's in Zaton

Jupiter and Pripyat are technically superior in level design but after of Zaton the quantity and quality of the quests is just a downgrade

[polar forge]

Idk, then the entire map is tiny

[young juniper]

You know what would be cool as heck even though i know it'd never happen (itd probably be a ton of work I bet, like i get it) but maybe in a future title or something, maybe a system where other players can invade your campaign sniper elite style/ dark souls style. Imagine if we had coop stalker and you just get a warning on the pda theres a bloodthirsty bandit or something in the area, and theres just now a player somewhere nearby hunting you. Or god forbid they got to play as a mutant left for dead style 😂

[coarse falcon]

Sounds horrible

[young juniper]

Idk i like the challenge, what are your thoughts?

[coarse falcon]

I don't like playing with other people, and pvp is even worse.

[brittle charm]

When’s this damn update coming bro

[coarse falcon]

dlc or patch?

[brittle charm]

1.9

[coarse falcon]

patch should be next week

[dry siren]

mmmm бошетунмай

[young juniper]

Thats fair. I've always been a fan of coop in games like this, having a brother at your back as you move through an untamed frontier is one of my favorite kind of things.

I do understand though, there's a reason some games that do have those kinds of mechanics have the option to turn it off, its not everyone's cup of tea to have random players pop up to fight.

[barren canopy]

If they had coop or some sort of global pvp, I would live in the game more than I do now.

[cyan sparrow]

Today we will get the update, and then cry all weekend?

[proven hollow]

are we all excited for the update next week?!

[mossy vapor]

hello good morning

[carmine star]

Not really, been playing other games. Is it next week tho ? Oh well

[vale shadow]

Im waiting for the new dlc

[amber egret]

Question. I think i found a bug, is there any way to report it? near Polissya collectife farm, there is a massive increase of burer spawn. Dont know if its just me, but i went there two time and i came together with like 20 toes

[proven hollow]

https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

the bug is already known, but it has to do with certain locations, so they might not know that specific location being a problem yet

[amber egret]

Ahhh i see. Thank you for letting me know...all i can do now is to wait and see if Malachit wants to by 25 toes XD Should be a nice coupons from that at least...plus i learned a good strat againts them

[copper radish]

What's your strat?

[proven hollow]

put slugs in their ugly faces until they die

[copper radish]

Well I mean that's the default setting, I was hoping for something more unique

[small quest]

Throw your bug report into the abyss — pray a modder sees your request.

[opaque cipher]

How easy would it be for me to make stalker 2

I have claude max

[golden gulch]

Patchy nexty weeky

[charred nova]

Patchma……… patchma game

[amber egret]

What Robo said is part of that. But when they put their sheild up and you have your gun up, they like to steal it. I figured that if you just hide it, they cant do anything, maybe throu some stuff at you (or if there are any other guys on ground, then you are dead). But then just get close to them, wait for the sheild to end, pull out your gun and just mag dump into him. Shotgun something that has more then 2 rounds and for rifles are best AP rounds. Works pretty well....so well that i have 25 toes XD

Surprisingly easy, surprisingly effective

[still current]

[copper radish]

My go-to was using Skifs peestol (they can't take that away), stay close enough that they don't throw stuff but not close enough so they can melee, and shoot when shield is down - but I like yours more 🔥

[carmine star]

Semi auto shotgun point blank works wonders also

Drop em before shield goes up if you can get close enough

[deft coral]

^ i just run and blast them with a shotgun before they can do anything

[carmine star]

Yup

[weary hedge]

hey guys, i have a problem, i play stalker on xbox, but yesterday the mod browser crashed, i have “one-time entry error (SSO)” how can i solve this problem?

[bronze holly]

Patch today?

[carmine star]

Nope

[weary hedge]

and i can’t play because of this problem, i tried a lot of decisions(deleted the game, reload and so on)

[crystal granite]

So pretty much the controller strat. Rush b and magdump the saiga

[crystal granite]

That's the game saying "get out of here Stalker

Bur fr, I'm on Xbox too and haven't had that before. Tried clearing your reserved space? Sometimes mods can be persistent (I know OKX stays no matter if I clear reserved)

[weary hedge]

i cleaned reserved, but it didn’t work😔

and this problem has just happened yesterday, at sunday everything was all right

[crystal granite]

Try in #mods-help-center

If they can't help, try submitting a bug report. Good luck Stalker

[weary hedge]

okey, thanks

[cyan sparrow]

I need to patch… myself today

[regal sinew]

Patch Adam in tha house.

[cyan sparrow]

Whom the jerky is adam

[tame gazelle]

is it just my stalker 2 that "breaks" when changing a tiny graphic setting ingame making me restart the whole app? like i change a setting from high to medium and i lose 30 fps.

[lament pelican]

not a good idea to release anything prior upcoming holidays (Easter on April 12th), so yeah it's definetely 14/15

[stark crescent]

Any news

No new news. Going back to the void.

[carmine star]

Why not tho? Not like they would get a hotfix out in a day or two or even a week

[tame gazelle]

i am still waiting for a faction wars coldfix

[cyan sparrow]

The usually need to add hotfix on the patches

[tame gazelle]

i heard that community GSC lady talk alot about faction wars in trailers before release - but hey i guess that wasnt a thing

[golden gulch]

God has mercy on your mousy

[cyan sparrow]

His Mouse?

[iron wind]

wait, wasnt 1.9 coming this week? what happened?

we are nearly 5 months without a single numbered patch and a roadmap

[fiery ibex]

Yo, who tf of an engineer CAN UPGRADE MY SAGA???

[golden gulch]

Keep clicking the mouse like that and it will give out pretty soon

[fiery ibex]

All the engineers I met always say that they can’t upgrade my saga shotgun

[tame gazelle]

jupiter or pripyat isnt it

[fiery ibex]

💀 fr? I must progress to end game to upgrade????

[iron wind]

yes?

[worldly ingot]

Nope you get one in kazkovyi camp when you complete zombie FM and you have one in yaniv

[tame gazelle]

yes and you will enjoy it

[worldly ingot]

Dont spread missinformation people please ffs

[tame gazelle]

its pretty random tho i agree - since u get saiga very early

[worldly ingot]

The game isnt that complex

[iron wind]

It is the most complex game ever developed

[tame gazelle]

the game is sentient at times and caves in on itself so yes

[worldly ingot]

Compared to GAMMA it is a piece of cake, but yes just complete Kazkovyi camp because its the best settlement in the game for farming/upgrading weapons and you get insane loot too

[fiery ibex]

Ok thanks

[fiery ibex]

Am at red forest rn

[tame gazelle]

listen to thelastcenturion he has played the latest content update - im currently playing it so he knows better :):)

seems like atleast

[worldly ingot]

Which quest tho? If you travel to the northern border you get to yaniv and Harpy there upgrades all weapons at the same cost (only repair costs differ for friendly factions)

[fiery ibex]

I am fighting against the ward

[worldly ingot]

Like Dangerous Liasions?

[fiery ibex]

Oh am looking for a doctor

._. Idk am currently taking a break to see loot locations in red forest

[worldly ingot]

Ah alright I’d do the kazkovyi camp missions that you probably got the quest marker to that’s in red forest then - it’s quite long tho, 8 quests

[worldly ingot]

That is for the best yeah I didn’t get to the doctor until I was 100 hours in, you might have even missed some side quests if you rushed the SIRCAA part of the game :/

[cyan sparrow]

Lmao

[fiery ibex]

._.

[iron wind]

I know that people struggle to understand sarcasm online, but this chat is on another level

[fiery ibex]

There’s side quests in sircaa?

[worldly ingot]

Yeah you autofail 1 in duga, 1 in quiets camp, 2 at wardens and 1 in cement factory sadly

[fiery ibex]

._. Because it’s pretty destroyed now

[worldly ingot]

No but after that sequence other side quests fail in regions

[cyan sparrow]

Yes indeed

[worldly ingot]

I worded it badly

[fiery ibex]

WAIT I DID THOSE LMAO, THE ARMOR AND RPG IN CEMENT FACTORY AND LAVINA IN QUIETS PLACE

Because he ran away ._. And I found the fuse for the shelter

I thought that was all main mission lmao

[worldly ingot]

Uhhh yeah but Quiet is there before and gives you a quest called like “At the end of the tunnel” or something, and in cement factory you probably helped Duty wipe bandits from a nearby factory

[worldly ingot]

Well you also have 1 in duga that is well hidden pre SIRCAA that is pretty fun but hard to find

They aren’t anything major but some of them are pretty cool like the duga and quiet ones 🙂

[fiery ibex]

._.

[worldly ingot]

Happens but doesnt affect you much mostly coupons, no unique weapons to be missed anymore, but I suggest trying the side missions that you can do now, did you help Zalissya btw?

[worldly ingot]

I mean it’s not that simple compared to most mainstream games, you can definitely get stuck on higher difficulties if you dont know what stalker is about

[fiery ibex]

Ummmmmmm well about that

They seemed kinda too dead to be helped…….

[worldly ingot]

Yeah you didn't get to them in time...

[tame gazelle]

game is still pitch black indoors even though its daylight outside and the windows are open kekkkkkkk

[worldly ingot]

such is life in the zone

[worldly ingot]

actually true there is 1 building where monolith patrols across the enerhetyk base that is pitch black with the sun shining outside

also died to an emission yesterday in Pripyat because it seems like no place is safe to stay in besides the ones swarming with monolith and my Ram-2s wasn't reloaded 🙂

[fiery ibex]

:(, wait i could’ve rescued them?

[worldly ingot]

Yup they get assaulted twice and you can save them, there is still a unique weapon you can get from the room the mechanic was in

[tame gazelle]

i love how my fps is at 96 then it starts raining and it drops to 58.

[tall hawk]

but it looks really good

[ruby gale]

Its high quality rain man

[obsidian pond]

is stalker 2 or starfield better

[regal sinew]

The tech at Yaniv can upgrade everything iirc.

[obsidian pond]

and why

[carmine star]

Release update not crappy media channel bull

[regal sinew]

Release da houuundz.

[ruby gale]

Both have their advantages/disadvantages, but honestly, I prefer the gameplay of starfield and the the atmosphere/world of stalker 2

[small quest]

both slop

[harsh jungle]

idk what I should doodle

[obsidian pond]

why

[small quest]

jesting — both feel the same for me though, never will get anywhere near fixed/promised state ever

i imagine both games fading from memory soon enough

which not fussed for starfield but it's a real shame for stalker 2

[ruby gale]

Dog

[worldly ingot]

I mean stalker is atleast getting semblences of A-life which was the biggest issue the community had

I just saw a bloodsucker feasting on a corpse randomly for example which the community made such a big deal about not happening lmao

[harsh jungle]

I’ve doodled dog

[ruby gale]

Cat?

[worldly ingot]

doodle a monolithian petting a dog

[eternal trellis]

unironically stalker 2 might have less bugs and a WAAAY better open world

[harsh jungle]

I’m not good at doodling full body people

[obsidian pond]

isnst stalker kinda lonely tho

[eternal trellis]

that high-key the point starfield is more lonely as 85% of the planets are barren wastelands with no human life

[worldly ingot]

I mean apart from the three captains mission and the arm dismemberment program on idle stalkers there really aren't that many bugs anymore I feel like

[eternal trellis]

yeah true but i mean my point still stands its less bugged then starfield

[worldly ingot]

I mean not really so much? Jupiter and Yanov maybe?

also 1 crash so far in 130 hours lol

[eternal trellis]

Pripyat ✌️

[carmine star]

When was the last time s2 was actually promoted lol besides that Xbox thing

[ruby gale]

Practice

[ruby gale]

Only reason I found it is because I just like looking at the store every few days to see what's new/find something else to play

[carmine star]

Oh so yiur new to stalker ?

[main jewel]

larpy

[crystal granite]

Do that often, most times I don't find anything tho

[main jewel]

larpy larpson

[crystal granite]

Wait till factions, then larp all u want

[crystal granite]

Anything is less bugged than starfield. Nearly 600hrs in and no amount of mods help (they make it worse in some cases haha)

[eternal trellis]

REAL

[crystal granite]

Remember how VATS was broken for 19 months on FO4 and all BSG did was rollback the update that broke it? Be surprised if ES6 isn't just Starfield with swords

[ruby gale]

Ive preordered it but s2 is my first stalker game

[crystal granite]

Same here, haven't touched the old ones

[ruby gale]

Yeah, there ain't much interesting lately, at least nothing new wise

[arctic flower]

Any fix for skadovsk forever being locked and nobody want to talk to me over there?

[crystal granite]

Thought they patched that. I remember being locked out. Try waiting for an Emission, see if it opens up

[bitter plover]

not true, fallout is more bugged

[arctic flower]

not working until now

[carmine star]

Yeah it was fixed .unless he's on a really old save

[crystal granite]

Fo4? Got over 1K hours in and nowhere near as bugged as Starfield

[bitter plover]

i litelary had to download 4 mods to be able to even play the game in case of FO 4

[ruby gale]

Only new game ive bought recently was crimson desert but im taking a break because the bank stiffed me on 30 gold bars and my closest save to change the interest return is 3 in game days old

[bitter plover]

and overall Starfield is considered to be one of the better releases from Bethesda in terms of bugs.

[crystal granite]

Community Fixes and Unofficial patch can also break the game

[tame gazelle]

60% of total stamina for 1 knife swing if you are overweight. gotta be tough real life

[bitter plover]

didnt use them. I always just play base game. I wasnt able to. I had to download mods to be able to play it

[crystal granite]

Hates mods tho, only got to complete Shattered Space once cause it bugs out halting progress with mods

[arctic flower]

i guess i'm on a really old save, what should i do? ditch it and start a new game?

[crystal granite]

I'd start a new one

[bitter plover]

look if there arenst some mutants nearby, they need to be killed

sometimes they got stuck near and the game thinks,t hat skadovsk is in danger and it wont open

[eternal trellis]

We can't have this I need ES6 to be good 😭

[arctic flower]

i can't find any, but i think i'll wait for an emission, though it takes long time to happen

[smoky hawk]

you see the decline bethesda has put out but you still hold out for what is after, expecting it to be good
you have taken poison 2 times in a row and are more than willing to commit the same mistake a third time

[bitter plover]

emission is also something that helps, yeah

[ruby gale]

Idk, I dont have problems with mods on starfield, just have to have the LO set up right

[tame gazelle]

ES6 is gonna be so god damn bad its embarassing

[crystal granite]

On top of my head I can think of 3,

1. Getting research for house Ka Dic, the girl researcher can bug out and not talk to ya/the leave no witnesses option highlights dead bodies for you to kill, can't progress quest

2. Get to the negotiations between Ka Dic and Zealots, the Zealots are insta aggro on Ka Dic and you, halting progress

3. The counter of the machine parts you need to destroy in the final Shattered Space battle bugs out at 3/4, room gets swallowed in vortex halting progress

[arctic flower]

I don't want to lose my items, but it's fine since i've finished the game and got all scenes and achievements on the first few months of game release.

[tame gazelle]

im guessing all theyve done these years is written a half azz story and then they rely on modders to build the map once it released

[crystal granite]

Had issues with and w/o mods. I try to have my lo as tidy as I can

[crystal granite]

We getting that BSG special, they release it we maintain it

[eternal trellis]

🥺

[crystal granite]

Modders literally do better job than the devs. From bugs, through content and dlc level add ons. Hell, I know it's paid creation but I got the Robin Locke a UC flygirl mod for starfield and voice acting and writing is skies above what the base game has, with 2k lines of dialogue too

[eternal trellis]

I would Never buy a creation club for starfield (I would for skyrim)

[crystal granite]

Sank time into skyrim too. Serana dialogue expanded + anima nera = goated combo

[ruby gale]

That and sometimes with starfield you have to disable all mods, relaunch the game, and then enable all mods again to get them to work right, something about the LO loading backwards the first time

[eternal trellis]

Okay lowkey that is a PEAK combo

[bitter plover]

Well new Bethesda games are literaly made as base for Mods store to sell mods to ppl.

[crystal granite]

Yeah have to do that too when the audio randomly doesn't load when you start

[ruby gale]

Only issue is have with starfield modding is that they're giving pretty much no tools/help on how to mod the game, theres still no custom animation or morph support/tools i think

[crystal granite]

Yeah I've been all about that Dawnguard DLC. Shame it's only 5GB on console, the Elden Ring mods are heavy on that game

[eternal trellis]

dawnguard?

[crystal granite]

Gimme a decent, not even goated atp I'll take a decent BSG game but with 100GB console mod space and im willing to play. Modders will take over

[crystal granite]

Dawnguard. Long day, my bad

[crystal granite]

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-food-eating-cat-eating-gif-1320502635529344444

[worldly ingot]

Wdym Pripyat is a warzone tho

[eternal trellis]

yeah nevermind i forgot about that 😔

its always empty when I am there.

[worldly ingot]

I wish it had a few more quests or side quests there for sure, like there are for sure a few stragglers besides the degtyarev corps

[crystal granite]

Pripyat is fun, you can clear out old apartment blocks, good loot too, until an emission hits and your ass is too heavy to move

[eternal trellis]

The corp have a peak outfit

[worldly ingot]

Legit happened to me yesterday after I just wondered why no emission was popping up, then realized you can only hide in a few specific buildings and died at the end of it all due to my Texan not being loaded

But ye Jupiter besides a few mono in the main few POIs is cursedly empty

Also heard they are planning to expand it Pripyat in DLC 2 probably

[obsidian pond]

is stalker 2 boring

[iron wind]

yes, the most boring game I touched

[river chasm]

Seems like a question that is going to vary a lot from person to person

I like it

[worldly ingot]

You already asked this bro, in a few specific areas for sure, in most not at all

[worldly ingot]

I'd say mid game is when it gets kinda mid because you are at that point where not many side quests but also main story is not there yet besides Faust and then it picks up again at endgame and you can chug tons of energy drinks to travel at that point

[ruby gale]

Hope so, a lot got cut from it

[vernal lily]

I had fun honestly

[worldly ingot]

Ye it feels more like CoP outskirts except a bit expanded

[tame gazelle]

i love how this game has animations that lock you down and dont allow you do to anything. like when a bloodsucker shouts ->slowmotion animation lock-> jumps on you -> knocked down animation lock -> cant heal.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat design

[glacial crater]

I've been playing it today and I've had a blast so far. Though the map filler can be a little unenjoyable at times

[tame gazelle]

does anyone know of an engine.ini line that can reduce/remove raindrop effect? the splashes

it looks h o r r i b l e

[violet dune]

r.RemoveUnrealEngine 1

splashes on the ground at night its terrible

[tame gazelle]

i knowwwwwwwww - but there are actually decent UE5 games out there - cant GSC just get their shait together.

yeah atleast on DLSS quality etc it does not look good

[violet dune]

maybe im wrong, but this might be something wrong with blending asset or asset itself

[tame gazelle]

i love the gameplay in S2 very much at times, but it feels like this version of UE5, or Stalker 2 with UE5 is literally caving in on itself. Like it breaks down

[violet dune]

those splashes are small png or whatever format they use (its just images)

[tame gazelle]

christ

[south wasp]

buh

[tame gazelle]

150 years after release and poltergeists will still wallhack

[tall hawk]

holy skill issue

[worldly lion]

hey guys have you played this mod called NLC 7? i wanna try it but i wanna hear it from a person who played it

[tall hawk]

"NOOOOOOO POLTERGEIST ISNT STANDING STILL IN THE OPEN BEFORE IT THROWS A PHYSICS OBJECT AT ME AFTER WAITING FOR THREE BUSINESS DAYS THAT I CAN EASILY DESTROY WITH THE KNIFE"

[tame gazelle]

why did that take u 5 business days to write

[tall hawk]

cuz im doin other stuff rn

[slow crypt]

it's a custom

[charred nova]

Wdym skill issue it literally throws props through walls

[tall hawk]

this never happens

[charred nova]

It happens all the time lmao

[tall hawk]

I have never had this happen to me twin

[slow crypt]

Just because you say so doesn't make it true

[charred nova]

Literally 100s of videos of this happening exist

[tame gazelle]

he's a hurrdurr

[river chasm]

It's happened since 1.7

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/laughingcat-cat-laughing-meme-cat-laughing-at-someone-cat-laughing-wheezing-cat-wheezing-gif-9998732734790196672

[river chasm]

You'll prob have better luck down in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[nimble galleon]

I’ve been getting hit with stuff through walls for forever now, real annoying

[slow crypt]

Doesn't it ever happen to you that you step on something and the camera spins 360 degrees?

[river chasm]

Yeah that is a very bizarre interaction when you stand on small physics objects

[tame gazelle]

as i said this game implodes on itself

its hilarious

[slow crypt]

In that regard, it stays true to the original, GSC's usual standard is to release the game first, and then let the community figure out how to fix it.

[river chasm]

For some reason the game respects the rotation of the object for Skif and so you rotate with it

[slow crypt]

Maybe because of the anomalies?

[tall hawk]

like all stalker games

[river chasm]

W for physics I guess, L for anyone who didn't want to go for a spin

[slow crypt]

I'd say the originals are more realistic you fire an RPG and your PC blows up too

[worldly ingot]

When faust comes and throws you on the ground and his lock-on missile clones one shot you in the first assault on the duga :))))

[worldly ingot]

Yup fallen-over chairs or buckets sometimes

[smoky hawk]

whatcha need to know?

[worldly lion]

how it feels to play it

[smoky hawk]

dread and despair, next question

[worldly ingot]

Bro if nowhere else then down in the Cement Factory side quest with the 2 burers, the guy legit throws the top part of medical crates or sometimes guns too I think? through the wall if you bait them to you from the upper platform

[tame gazelle]

he never left the lesser zone

[worldly ingot]

It most definitely is in the game

[tall hawk]

looked it up and apparently its a new bug from the latest update

even then it'll prolly be fixed in the next patch, at least before DLC releases

[tame gazelle]

and last update was when? november?

december* so if its fixed with the DLC they used half a year for a something that should be hotfixed as it can literally break ironman playthroughs on master

[worldly ingot]

The game would be pain for ironman lmao

[tame gazelle]

that DLC should be 19.99$ max.

hopefully free

[tall hawk]

GSC isn't a massive AAA studio, I don't wanna play this card but it's not insanely feasible for a studio of their size to immediately jump to fix every minor bug while still making new content patches and DLC and migrating the whole game to a new UE5 version

[worldly ingot]

For sure won't be tho, otherwise they """scam""" Ultimate edition owners, there's no way that'll happen

[tall hawk]

all the STALKER games are they've been notoriously janky and tough games ever since SoC lmfao

[tame gazelle]

isnt GSC like 400 ppl

[tall hawk]

it's where the term "slavjank" came from

[bitter plover]

30-35 Euro/USD would be proper and good price

[tame gazelle]

thats almost a full game

[tall hawk]

considering how much the DLC adds yes this is reasonable

[worldly ingot]

I mean I ironmanned EFP twice and I feel ashamed to say this but on this first blind playthrough of STALKER 2 Master difficulty I died 200 times in 130 hours lmao

[tall hawk]

for 20+ hours of new story, you basically are getting a full new game

[tame gazelle]

Where have they confirmed how many hours of gameplay it adds

[bitter plover]

505 now i think

[tame gazelle]

505 aint indie atleast

[tall hawk]

I'm just running estimates

[worldly ingot]

That's how DLC releases nowadays, indie studio that made EVERSPACE 2 made it cost 25 bucks and it most definitely will be smaller than this DLC lol
