I’ve been thinking about one thing, because I had a discussion about Stalker lore. Is Stalker Mobile canon? Theoretically GSC was involved in minimal way, but all other games never referred to that.

yes... but at the same time, there is a posibility the game could have never made the light of day and never have stalker ever again because the x-ray engine didnt have the tool to make the game release, the x-ray engine + update would have been the best case scenario for alife if money and time wasnt a problem.

But UE engine has so many tools to speed up developmenent, that an AA studio like GSC cannot say no also taking in consideration their financial stituation at the time (2022)

We are just simulating dots running around on the simplified plane and rolling dices with each other...

# calm quarry just because they can doesnt mean they should

thats your opinion, i think to play stalker 2 with friends , and experience the zone just like we experience the zone with other npc is right up the alley of the stalker experience. The very stalker movie from Andrei tarkosvky is about a group of men experience a foreign location and finding meaning in it. Stalker 2 online can be a group of friends visiting a foreign place and finding meaning in it. Maybe is the campfire chats, maybe is the horrors, maybe is trading and stealing, maybe its just walking with friends in a radiated wasteland saying few words or none to each other.

apparently Bayuns are hostile to blingdogs. i also watched one survive a near direct impact from a 40mm grenade and then turn non hostile as it walked back into a build, in which it then turned hostile to me again lol. crosshairs even turned green when i was looking at it.

free play vs paid play

it would be so cool if there was an oficial free play where you just choose the faction you want to play as, switches locations, gives special radial quest per factions

gamma is anomaly

i mean its just a variable flag player_faction = "bandit" , and then npcs sees you as any other npc with their faction flag logic

kinda like that

its not fully like gamma tho

#

i just dont like erm skif being a main character all the time

#

i dont even like skif

#

wheres my deggy

still edge
#

to start the game as mercenary all geared up and to keep it lore friendly, make the beginning of mercenary run to start with a random quest related to some clients who contracted you

#

that would be so stalker , to have an experience from a different faction and not just always skif

it happens all the time

#

the trilogy pre open xray is literally held together with duct tape and glue

main jewel
#

currently im crafting up a good freeplay collection thing

visual mortar
#

why are people suddenly pretending that the trilogy is suddenly a bug free masterpiece

meager crag
#

Because it is

visual mortar
#

the games ran like shit for years

meager crag
#

Skill issue tbf

charred nova
#

it did not run like shit tbf

main jewel
#

its the same thing with uh cod

meager crag
#

You just suck at the games

charred nova
#

ive tested the trilogy on mega nugget tier pcs

visual mortar
meager crag
#

That's why it has bugs

main jewel
#

people now say vanguard was good

charred nova
#

and it will run fine

main jewel
charred nova
#

like pcs that were 5 years old by the time the trilogy came out

#

and it is totally playable

main jewel
#

but also stalker 2 wasnt supposed to be as shit as its release was or at least thats what gsc told everyone

visual mortar
#

but xray was held together with staples

charred nova
#

this i fully agree

meager crag
main jewel
#

gsc made everyone believe stalker 2 was a non bugged beautiful game

#

its beautiful

#

when the lighting works

meager crag
#

I never believed it lmfao

main jewel
#

but holy shart

charred nova
#

i mean this is a common cope from like very game studio ever

#

they obviously knew the state of the game

main jewel
meager crag
#

I'm too cynical for that

main jewel
#

and why j only bought the game on sames

meager crag
#

Or rather a realist, I suppose

main jewel
#

sales

meager crag
#

They're one and the same, really

charred nova
#

like what is gsc gonna do right before launch be like

still edge
charred nova
#

uh guys just so you know the game comes out tomorrow but its super unfinished buggy as fuck and runs like ass

#

just thought we should let you know

still edge
#

does open xray fixed the corpse glitch?

charred nova
#

open xray fixes a lot of bugs

meager crag
#

Or just wait with releasing it and actually finish your game

#

Ez

charred nova
#

as its basically a perfect version of the engine

meager crag
#

Now you've killed all the hype and basically brought your fanbase in limbo

#

Congrats smile_strelok

charred nova
#

i mean i agree

#

if they had crunched for like another 4 to 6 months

still edge
#

with all honesty, bug and glitches in a stalker game doesnt bother me unless if its something constant , immersion breaking or corruption of files

charred nova
#

they could have delivered a way better final product

#

but asking devs to crunch for the sake of the people is a tall ask tbf

meager crag
#

Like, GSC said it themselves

#

Either this game will be a massive success or utter trash

#

And it turned out it's neither

charred nova
#

its somewhere in the middle

still edge
#

a game like stalker not having bugs and glitches is almost a red flag, if the game is that stable that means its extremely shallow and watered down

charred nova
#

but i will say the best thing i can say about the game is the underlying foundation of the game is actually good

meager crag
#

Which would be?

#

Because my experience with this game was pain

still edge
#

or starfield which is both bug fest and shallow at the same time smile_scar

charred nova
#

you played it at like 30 fps bruh

meager crag
#

60

#

Game is just wack

still edge
charred nova
#

the gameplay is fun

meager crag
#

More fun than the Trilogy?

still edge
#

needs global alife and engine update and the game becomes peak

charred nova
meager crag
#

Exactly

charred nova
#

like the artifact system they ended up using i heavily dislike

#

the cs and cop system was way better

still edge
meager crag
#

SoC artifact system on top, ngl

#

Mod the Trilogy?

#

Heresy

charred nova
#

like i look at the cop system and then look at the hoc system and its night and day balance wise

#

like in cop you can at max have plus 30kg via artifacts

#

and that is with no ability to use any other artifacts

visual mortar
meager crag
#

36 KG, I believe

charred nova
#

nah its 2 gold fish

meager crag
#

Obviously more, but you'd be taking radiation

charred nova
#

each does +15kg

#

and then 2 bubble counter weights

meager crag
#

Not having played the games in a while is PAIN

charred nova
#

leaves you with positive 2 rad resistance

meager crag
charred nova
#

my bad

visual mortar
#

jim

#

jim n jeb

meager crag
#

So if you're taking a Gravi as well, you'd have 32 KG

meager crag
charred nova
#

i'd say have the posstive rad resist is more worth since

#

then any random rads you encounter will automatically heal

meager crag
#

In that case, Night Star

#

28 KG instead

#

I don't care about the radiation tbh, just unequip one of the artifacts or use anti-rad

proven hollow
#

jim 'n jeb were sitting in a tree

#

s t a l k i n g me

charred nova
#

in hoc you can have 3 nightstars for plus 27kg then a thunderberry for plus 40 percent stamina and only need one counter weight

#

which is just insanely over powered

meager crag
proven hollow
#

i'll have you know i'm a very interesting person

kindred violet
#

Lmaooooo

meager crag
#

Proof?

charred nova
#

then of course in clear sky its totally broken beyond belief

#

dual gold fish for plus fucken 60kg

proven hollow
meager crag
#

CS, my beloved

#

Tbf, I usually don't use weight increasing artifacts, especially in CoP

#

I prefer to travel light

charred nova
#

well that is the plus of having them

meager crag
#

Gimme stamina recovery artifacts instead

charred nova
#

you can carry so much loot with you with out being slowed down

meager crag
#

I want to sprint forever

still edge
#

is there any weight increasing artifacts in S2?

charred nova
#

yes

meager crag
#

Aye

charred nova
#

there are a few

#

the best one is nightstar

still edge
#

that kinda make sense, an artificat with antigravity property

charred nova
#

which gives plus 9kg

#

there is also a secret weight buff you can get from the limited edition energy drinks

still edge
#

what it would be cool its an artifact that doesnt just add numbers to the stats... what about an artifact with a very small chance of deflecting an incoming bullet , and you can literally see the effect happening like a force field effect

charred nova
#

if you equip the weird pot

#

then drink all 10 energy drinks

#

you get plus 5kg carry weight

#

forever

meager crag
#

If only the Altered Insulator from CoP could be weaponized

#

If only there were artifacts like that in HoC

#

That'd be peak asf

charred nova
#

technically the gauss rifle is a weaponized artifact

meager crag
#

Not exactly

#

It's an artifact-powered gauss rifle

charred nova
#

yes

#

it uses flash artifacts

#

to power the rails

meager crag
#

The Altered Insulator, however, is an artifact that actually does harm

amber marsh
#

Whats the difference in the difficulty? Enemies are more accurate? More dmg? Less ressources found?

meager crag
#

It'd be peak if it actually worked if you equipped it

still edge
#

or an artifact with no combat effect at all , maybe not even an description, and when you use that artifact you can hear radio stations from specific points of the map, some even unlocks special quests or discovers special loot but only if you are crazy enough to use it constantly

kindred violet

I dunno, but doesn't the idea of a DoT aura around you sound based?

# charred nova with atom rpg i know with underrail your suppose to use a build guide is it simi...

Atom RPG is much like FO, it uses a similar formula but it may be easier to approach since it's a more modern game made in unity and natively works and is supported
it should get you accustomed to how CRPGs work and the basics of build creations, it isn't hard if you know what youre doing but it can give you a kick in the butt to make sure you're paying attention, it's a good choice for begginers if they dont wanna deal with FO1

charred nova
#

but i feel thats more of a stretch

smoky hawk
charred nova
#

"ATOM RPG is a post-apocalyptic indie game, inspired by classic CRPGs: Fallout, Wasteland, Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate and many others."

#

on the steam page lol

well inspired

i guess nvm

Question fellas

#

what’s the best ar in stalker 2

marble gyro
#

For me personally, Dnipro

serene barn
#

Kharod lets you use the underrail if that's your thing for either the M203 or the Holemaker shotgun.

#

Dnipro hits harder but has noticably more recoil iirc.

fickle hill
#

Just have a better hand

#

Can't aim with a gun with recoil that instantly shoots to the roof? skill issue just use your hand more

kindred violet
#

But I still think trophy has better stats than both. Just sucks that you can't put the 4x on it

serene barn
#

iirc the Trophy comes with a red dot and i kinda like to use others

#

like the 4x pso

#

i wonder if i should look into what Handling does lol. stat wasn't a thing when i played a year ago.

#

did noticing it's lowered when you use larger mags at least on the AS VAL it is.

kindred violet
serene barn
#

I’m wondering if it’s possible to get through Answers come at a price without killing wardens and if it would do anything

kindred violet
#

Thats when you go around the old x-18 entrance when meeting spark right?

serene barn
#

I think so

#

I just spent a while on clearing above ground in stealth but ended up just clearing the last 3 guys in open combat.

#

But i was thinking about it because i think i remember during one of my runs when in Zaton or something with Scar and Strider and spark being attacked by ward. That i didn’t shoot anyone and it seemed to then not turn me against the other faction

if somehow the urss successfully hidden the accident, and then the radiation became so intense that nobody could get close to do the cleaning, than maybe the effects would be too great to even take measures about
