next stalker game needs multiplayer. like imagine we all got the choice to choose what kind of stalker we wanted to be ina multiplayer setting where i have to worry about other players robbing me or sumin. just an idea.

[rough island]

Ok question if I equip to liquid rocks do that stack I found 1 a month ago and just found another I'm kinda hoping they stack cas if that do no more spinding a tone on weapon repairs

[smoky hawk]

sounds like shit

[serene barn]

yeah no thanks.

[rough island]

Ya it should stay a solo experience

[olive comet]

yall wouldnt fw a multiplayer at all dayum

[serene barn]

if i wanted to be screwed over by players i'd find some extraction shooter.

[olive comet]

im mostly just missing out on roaming around with bro

[rough island]

I'd play rust again

[olive comet]

stalker 2 could be a sick extraction shooter imo

[smoky hawk]

rotten bait

[olive comet]

theyd have to do it in a way that mitigates gear fear for all you roleplayer kittens

[proven hollow]

stalker 2 multiplayer will be lit

[olive comet]

will?

[proven hollow]

100%

[olive comet]

dont get my hopes up g

[rough island]

If that make stalker 2 into a extraction shooter as mich as I love this game I'd abandon it

[proven hollow]

it'll be like the old games

[rough island]

Most likely death mach of some kind

[olive comet]

typical 40 y/o grandpa take

sum1 tell em i wanna be a dirty rotten backstabbing stalker with my bro!!!

[smoky hawk]

they have stayed consistent since 2021 that they wouldnt put Coop in the game we'll see how it works

[proven hollow]

you will join the glory of the monolith instead, congratulations

[smoky hawk]

I assume it'll be an adaptation of the earlier gamemodes, whihc I hope

[proven hollow]

glorious tdm and capture the artifact

honestly all other multiplayer modes are just delusional fever dreams made up by madman

[visual mortar]

dude they better add some crazy ass party gamemodes

[small quest]

I can't wait to boot up MP, find 95% folk hacking and then never use it again.

[visual mortar]

sounds like a genuine inability issue

[empty hare]

Nikki Minaj skins in Stalker 2: Battle Royale

[spiral halo]

Why is everyone talking about multiplayer ? I thought GSC dropped it

[stark crescent]

Everyone wants a boring tdm gamemode for stalker and cheater infestations.

https://www.techspot.com/news/112205-turtle-beach-new-command-series-puts-touch-controls.html

[marble linden]

Shouldve been coop instead of multiplayer

[small quest]

releasing MP for a game after (most likely) 2 years is insanity. For a team hard up on resource especially.

[visual mortar]

i hope not

[visual mortar]

you seem like the type to call someone a cheater just because they play better than you

[spiral halo]

I do the same on league of legends.. they can't be better than me so ofc they're cheating

[visual mortar]

true...

[robust pendant]

Nothing "should've been"

[visual mortar]

also im terribly sorry for you

subjected to the horrors of a moba

[robust pendant]

You liked it to be, but it isnt and it wont. Its a totally new game at that point

[stark crescent]

Because that is cheating. Im the only one who is allowed to be good

[sharp sierra]

They need to bring back the strelok faction weapons streloks sig550, the fast shooting ak74, ghost suit, fangs exo ect

[bitter plover]

as per interview from December, they are still working on MP

[spiral halo]

oh really ? Tbh I'd rather have more content, even better A-Life etc, like add replayability

instead of multiplayer deathmatchs

[bitter plover]

agree

i dont care about MP at all

[tame panther]

I think there was supposed to be a Burer fight at Volkhov, but theres a dead Burer body so i guess it somehow died?
Ey im not complaining

[normal apex]

iam tired, boss

[meager crag]

Ayo is the Railroad from Fallout canon?

[stray sierra]

I feel like there should be a history channel that we can sub to for the history notifications. I like to learn about it but cmon this is getting annoying.

[sudden rapids]

Gsc masters of nonsense posting

[normal apex]

i just wish the game was functional, let alone the promised engine upgrade from last year 😂

[stray sierra]

I'm playing SoC EE I'm that desperate lol

I'm so sorry for you bro

Lol the duality of stalkers

[hazy haven]

Does feed about railways mean anything or is just a filler to

[meager crag]

TrilOG > TrilogEE

The usual GSC filler, basically

[normal apex]

EE is fine from what i can tell after updates, but OG + mods is better

[sleek hemlock]

It may mean something if I had to guess we are nearing release but it may be copium from me

[serene barn]

you mean the faction? yes?

[meager crag]

One vanilla ice cream, please

[meager crag]

Wow, hope they're less lame this time around

[normal apex]

no vanilla ice cream slander pls

[stray sierra]

It runs fine. But yeah it's aged even with the "remaster'.

Honestly thinking of abandoning it and going back to OG

[stoic sinew]

Hi, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I just wanted to ask if there will ever be a sequel to Heroes of Annihilated Empires? It's a wonderful little game that I used to play when I was a kid 🥺

[meager crag]

Ayo an actual HoAE fan?

BASED

[stoic sinew]

yes

[visual mortar]

the fuck is that game

[smoky hawk]

if its not on stores then itd be hard to give you support

[meager crag]

The Railroad

[south parcel]

I'm confused about the announcement

[serene barn]

i don't see what the faction from fallout has to do with the annoucement.

[sudden rapids]

Nothing to be confused about. It's just railroad

[proven hollow]

the takeaway of it is that Mol1t likes trains

Wait, is this a hint of them adding the Altered Insulator to HoC???

I was messing around with Google Earth and found the duga it's heavily overgrown which I find beautiful when humans disappear nature takes over I couldn't help but take a screenshot of that magnificent place

[digital turret]

did you find the piano? it is there!

[rough island]

I wasn't looking for a piano and I'm not entirely sure why one would be at the duga raidar

[digital turret]

obviously would be impossible to spot in google earth, but if you happen to go through pictures people have taken on the ground there, there is one there. with which i had you exact reaction

[rough island]

I'll see if I can find it

[proven hollow]

i mean if you'd have to store a piano anywhere i'd also do it there, no one could complain it's in the way

[digital turret]

'babe where's my piano?' 'uhm...the duga'

[rough island]

I looked around and then did some research it's on the interior of a building that I can't see inside of however some random jackass climbed to the very top of the array and then took a photo and posted it on Google Earth

[charred nova]

I wonder how long till it falls over

Actually it looks galvanized

So might be a really long time

[frigid axle]

Devs confirmed that there will be multiplayer, but no coop

it will be either like Dayz servers or just arena

or both

[frigid axle]

that's the lamest reason ever though

like we know that we are alone in the zone but almost every npc has a companion

like you can't say that while there are groups of 4 npcs always wandering around

let's hope Multiplayer will be Dayz or Arma like servers so we get some roleplay ones

[graceful dirge]

Loneliness & fear, but only for the player. Always been lame for them to stick to their guns with that mentality, yet we rarely see stalker NPCs out alone because the Zone is that dangerous...

[frigid axle]

yep

[rough island]

I checked it out on Google Earth Street view got as close as I could it will be a long time before that thing falls it sturdy I can tell ya that I found 1 photo where some guy climbed all the way up and took photos so in some ways it's sturdy enough to hold someone's wait

[frigid axle]

at least give us the option to have npc companions as well

[meager crag]

Just means that all the protagonists are just Loners

[graceful dirge]

xrMPE popularity shows that purists be damned, there is actually a chunk of the community that would appreciate an experience akin to that in S2

[charred nova]

It looks like it’s made from galvanized steel considering how little rust is on it

If it wasn’t galvanized it would have fallen over a long time ago

[meager crag]

Guess the only way for co-op is to wait for the SDK and hope someone makes a co-op mod

[frigid axle]

that would be absolutely just for pc tho -

[rough island]

Yeah true

[meager crag]

B-b-but my vanilla ice cream

[charred nova]

That thing has sat in open area with no human interaction for 40 years

[hazy haven]

Could we finally get a spawning fix that actually works and 3D models of objects that can actually block flying objects from mutants? I don't get why it's so hard for this studio Like common Man

[meager crag]

Ah right, PC showing why it's the best yet again

[rough island]

Its gorgeous

[charred nova]

Most cars won’t even last that long

[frigid axle]

yupp with the 800€ ram

Fortunately @austere pagoda is working on a mod for that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xGqEW3iRNoQ can check out more in here #1387423121983799388

[charred nova]

It comes for us all

My gas is expensive

My ram is expensive

[frigid axle]

here where i am ps5s been costing always 500 or less
nothing changed

[rough island]

Of all my time exploring Chernobyl on Google Earth I have yet to see one abandoned car everything is overgrown it's been left alone for a very long time you can barely look at pripyat because of however grown everything is

[frigid axle]

well everything is getting expensive in general if you're talking that way

[charred nova]

I drove by a gas station today that use to sell gas for 2.80 and it was at 5 bux

[charred nova]

There increasing prices

Again

[charred nova]

Yah they planned to make stalker 2 like that in the original ue4 build of the game but

Seems they opted to remove the overgrown look which

Idk I’m some what mixed about personally

[iron wind]

bro crimson desert finished 3 month roadmap in 23 days, we are still not finished with roadmap for 2025 and its middle of 2026

[rough island]

They probably did it for stability issues that much foliage would be a lot I will say that it feels more like a concrete jungle than anything but what can you do

[charred nova]

Honestly switch to ue5 hurt this game more than anything

The benefits are basically none existent

Worse performance worse visuals

Total lose

🥀

[serene barn]

now my story mission is SIRCAA so now i gotta run around to finish up some side quests and fetch some stashes before i go through with that

[frigid axle]

oh btw, is it one of my mods, or is it a new thing that npcs now drop the armour they were wearing before dying when i loot them? like bandits having bandit Armour and loners having loner suit, like i could EASILY get an exo in the challenge lmao

[rough island]

That sounds like a mod cuz I'm on vanilla and I haven't picked up one suit of armor

this isnt dress up barbie where u go shopping for a good looking npc to then start dressing like a doll
no offence

[still current]

nah, I only meant guns

[austere pagoda]

oke fair

[frigid axle]

it would be a cool thing that whenever you talk with someone, their experience, alliance and name would appear on like the up right with also an image of them

[austere pagoda]

that i can do probably in the form of "upgrade kits"

[austere pagoda]

cant with random ai. the companions will be hired with a poster

[frigid axle]

oh alright

[austere pagoda]

the poster explains who is up for hire and their fee

one time fee AND recurring 24h fee

yeah, would be cool to have him take a better gun to help with the fight and if he dies, youll simply loot it back lol

unless u got one of the pack mule companions

good luck hauling the items back if they die with all the loot 😄

i almost failed my challenge by going in to a very radioactive building and forgor that i didn't have enough vodka, fortunately i made it in time lol, at least i got some pliers so i can disassemble things to make an nvg

[tame panther]

Kharod isnt a bad gun

[serene barn]

no i know it was one of my favourites when i played a year ago.

[tame panther]

One of the best
Just fix it, its not that expensive

[serene barn]

it costs me 13k to repair

that'd be enough for like 2 modifications if i were to find a new one.

[empty hare]

You can find a brand new 100% one outside of pripyat, id save your money

[serene barn]

i'm only at needing to do SIRCAA so it's a while off

[empty hare]

Yeah thats what i mean, its obtainable as soon as you leave lesser zone

[tame panther]

Taking Vinca before an Arena fight feels like illegally taking steroids before a sport.

Also you can drop everything near the door after a fight, so you can pick it back up in the next one
Easy few medkits and bandages, and you can take out Tyrant with a Kharod instead of an AK or double barrel, and you can spare yourself a better suit for in other fights

[serene barn]

i don't do exploits.

[empty hare]

It's not an exploit? It's just a stash

What do you mean

[serene barn]

if it's in an area you aren't meant to be at until a point in the story. it is

[cyan sparrow]

You guys mixing exploit with exploration perhaps?

[empty hare]

It's not story related at all, you'll never visit it during the story. ||Yantar Dam stash, code can be found in the vehicle/helicopter graveyard scattered around on surfaces and vehicles||

[serene barn]

well you said one outside of prip so i assumed that means either prip or jupiter.

and i know about people getting in there because they can't and assumed that's what you talked about.

[empty hare]

Ohh no i mean outside as in "not in or requiring access to pripyat"

[serene barn]

reminds me i need to google that code. can't be bothered to run around checking the plates lel

[empty hare]

Lol it is ||5578|| if you don't feel like googling, i just did it the other day

[serene barn]

grabbed the other stuff there but left the door because no room.

[empty hare]

Yeah there's tons of ammo there

[serene barn]

did it on my other 2 runs or at least the first one. can't be botherd to run around to get the digits and prolly just get my gear damaged doing it because the game spawns things.

[dusky pawn]

Be careful when typing it

[serene barn]

iirc there's a mag for the PKP in there.

[dusky pawn]

If you input the wrong code you blow up (insta death on master)

not if you take the nades from the trap lol

if you blew up

you didn't.

their talk with another npc that they turn hostile towards just stops and he tells me i shouldn't have walked over.

imagine if GSC did online S2 with only deathmatch mode that would be a waste of everyone´s time

i cant even remember the last time i ever played deathmatch game , maybe it was quake 3 or unreal 98

isnt that how the trilogy does it

or did trilogy also have domination

S2 online mode like gta5 is a money printing machine , there is no game like that were you can chill and relax with friend in a radiated wasteland, and in the niche of stalker-like games there is not a more well known game that stalker games

[bold smelt]

its hard to make those gamemodes boring, thats why deathmatch is so overdone in the first place

[shell flax]

‘Money printing machine’

Except there’s nothing to make said money unless GSC adds microtransactions

[proven hollow]

i still remember the good old 007 nightfire and stalker deathmatch modes, that was great fun

[vernal lily]

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

[bold smelt]

GSC said before the game even came out that coop is off the table for official development

[still edge]

who says microtransactions would not be on the table

[frigid axle]

tho i like it as it is because i can't predict if multiplayer will be a good or bad decision, what if they focus more on mp than single player content

[still edge]

i wouldnt be mad for microtransations in a stalker 2 online, for skins , armor colors, weapon colors, etc

[shell flax]

Why the fuck would you want S2 to become a microtransaction ridden shithole

[still edge]

not S2, S2 online

[bold smelt]

thatd be such a PR disaster that even GSC would see that is a bad idea from a mile away

[still edge]

s2 singleplayer would be untouched

because mmo type game arent famous for microtransactions?

[shell flax]

This is the most cancer idea I’ve ever seen since fucking EA’s inception

[proven hollow]

posting selfies now?

[main jewel]

yup

[frigid axle]

he didn't say he wanted them, he said they could be in the game

[frigid axle]

cute!

[meager crag]

Inb4 you all want STALKER multiplayer to become like Planetside

[burnt bridge]

Why have a deathmatch when theres plenty of other options out there already. People want pve with friends

[bold smelt]

a stalker MMO would certainly steal basically all development away from singleplayer and would piss off literally everybody except newcoming players coming specifically for it

[frigid axle]

wait nvm

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/lies-over-it-liar-your-best-li-ever-yet-gif-11931068

I know who you are

[shell flax]

And no matter how much hypothetical money printing this would generate there’s one small issue: GSC has stonewalled any possible form of coop, it’s not happening

[meager crag]

[proven hollow]

i don't mind microtransactions, i honestly don't mind any form of financial system behind a game, whether its buy2play with DLC you need to buy extra, whether it's subscription based, whether it's free2play with microtransactions, as long as it ain't pay to win

[still edge]

am i chatting in a psychiatric hospital discord channel or in stalker discord channel? who would be mad to have microtransactions in an MMO, its in every mmo since they exist

[meager crag]

Eh, it's Discord

What's the difference?

[still edge]

true

[bold smelt]

people whinge about microtransactions in MMOs all the time, what? its a VERY common complaint

[meager crag]

But yeah, microtransactions are wack

[frigid axle]

worst case scenario is that S2 would become a microtransaction game with Cod skins

[bold smelt]

microtransactions are usually what kills MMOs too anyway

[proven hollow]

my dislike for microtransactions disappeared into smoke as i grew up and got less time and more money

[still edge]

pay to win yes, but skin in mmos nobody, there is people paying for 15$ usd per month to play an mmo its called wow you might know that game

[meager crag]

Not just MMOs

[frigid axle]

bro you gotta think deeper, what if they focus more on the microtransactions than the game?

[proven hollow]

then i won't play the game

[bold smelt]

isnt one of the reasons black desert is currently crashing and burning is because most cosmetics are behind either limited time FOMO events or a paywall

[meager crag]

Like most studios, you mean

[frigid axle]

no, the game you like becomes a shit hole, so the S2 community needs to be harsh ab it

[proven hollow]

i only pay for games i enjoy, and i don't mind paying for them as long as it's worth it imo

[frigid axle]

yup

[still edge]

a game that is online since 2010 is "crashing and burning" today in 2026.... right....

[frigid axle]

wouldn't you mind if a game you like just implodes in slop?

[proven hollow]

not playing the game nor spending money on it is the harshest consequence I can commit to them focusing too much on microtransactions bro

[bold smelt]

bro they got people writing essays in the reviews section about why the game is on death row

[proven hollow]

i'll move on, safe in the knowledge i won't play their game anymore

[still edge]

stalker 2 online mode like gta5 is the easiest W in GSC history, i mean who wouldnt want to be with friends exploring and making RP in a very lore heavy game like stalker games

[bold smelt]

stalker 2 online mode would just be GSC's version of RDO

[frigid axle]

nah you alredy bough the game, so you better knock some sense in to the devs than just leave, remember, there are people that would support even the worst decisions, so telling directly the devs that MCs are not the way is a good way than just leaving (which is a good way but silent)

[meager crag]

Would never happen to TF2

[proven hollow]

lots of things i buy break or become worse after a while tho

[frigid axle]

that's why you need to fix them

you don't just leave smt as it is after it breaks if it's special to you

[still edge]

a game that is been running for 16 years successfully ,is crashing in burning now, wow what a shame, that was almost a day 1 slop if it wasnt for the 16 years thats been running

[proven hollow]

why? seems like the devs job, not mine, i will vote with the only vote that matters, my wallet

[frigid axle]

by fix i meant rising up your voice alongside other stalkers

[proven hollow]

actions speak louder than words, and guess what companies looking for profit are most hit by

[frigid axle]

while it is true that no money means desperation for GSC, vocal guidance isn't that bad as well

[meager crag]

Reminds me, I wonder how expensive my Collector's Professional Killstreak Ullapool Caber is on the Steam Market rn

[proven hollow]

eeh, i'll leave that to others

[proven hollow]

i ate it

[frigid axle]

but you alredy bought the game, you alredy gave your profit, the max you can do is just stop playing, which will not affect the profits

[proven hollow]

we were talking about microtransactions, i can simply not buy those

[serene barn]

full of hackers and toxic people? lel

[proven hollow]

it didn't explode, i want a refund

[frigid axle]

i was talking ab leading S2 away from that future

[still edge]

no pvp or limited pvp , people want to play coop s2 not pvp s2

[meager crag]

Zamn

[proven hollow]

which i will do by not financially supporting that decision

[proven hollow]

i'll buy it for five

[shell flax]

GSC has never even put the idea out it was happening why the fuck do you all think it’s gonna happen

[still edge]

pvp s2 would be the most vomitive experience there is , i cant even imagine the exploits and hacks people would do to ruin the whole experience

[proven hollow]

pvp in the originals was great fun

[meager crag]

Where the heck are you going to get 5 Collector's Professional Killstreak Ullapool Cabers? Why would you want to trade five of them for just one?

[shell flax]

You’re winding yourselves up over imaginary scenarios when multiplayer is likely years away

[meager crag]

Like bruh

[frigid axle]

Remember, GSC considered adding nfts, Without our disagreement and backlash they would be really added, so id not be surprised if they thought ab microtransactions

[proven hollow]

i meant five zimbabwean dollars

[meager crag]

Dealn't

[proven hollow]

yesn't

[shell flax]

For what? A multiplayer that likely hasn’t even seen the surface of a Drawing Board?

[meager crag]

No

[frigid axle]

I repeat, no one expected GSC to consider Nfts, so you'd better stay ready for everything, even if it's far

[still edge]

back when people dont know about hacking yes, but now any fps without a solid anticheat system is imposible to play without finding a hacker, even the best fps running right now they either have to put a kernel level anticheat(nobody wants that) or have a very active moderation running 24/7 to ban any hacker that pops out

[bold smelt]

dude has never heard of a game dying before, if it worked once, why not forever eh?

[meager crag]

I told them it was a bad idea

But I guess they had to see it for themselves kek

[proven hollow]

ha, hacking was easy back then, but votekick ftw

[frigid axle]

yupp without u we would be doomed

[meager crag]

Nah, it's the community who went ape

Luckily

[still edge]

games dont die now, they run forever, everybody is playing diablo 1, ultima online , lineage 1 and everquest, you heard it, if your online mmo dies at any point of human history, that means the game was bad from the start

[bold smelt]

so TRUE

[frigid axle]

the community better go ape at every slop that gets considered

[meager crag]

Real

[bold smelt]

stop killing games is redundant because games never die

[visual mortar]

grubmug

[meager crag]

Ouch, that hurt me right in the LEGO Universe

[proven hollow]

truth tho

[visual mortar]

truth fucking nuke

or just that the game lacked funding to support

[still edge]

it was but people didnt have the culture of hacking, when we were kids we didnt even know what a hack was, we barely understood the games we were playing let alone understand what a software is and how a software can be programed to play by itself

[visual mortar]

but the game was doomed either way

[frigid axle]

wait you can swear without wolf wolfing you?

[proven hollow]

i used to play this game called Face of Mankind, died years back, always only had a niche following, guess what, it's still up player ran

Not the lame purple

[meager crag]

Well, there's plenty of time

To do the NO HIT HOLY RUN

[frigid axle]

NOO

NEVERRRRR, ID GET SO STRESSED, IM ON CONTROLLER

like if i had CS in Xbox s i would try, but i have it on Ps5

[meager crag]

Here's an example with the delay

[main jewel]

tamer pico you shoukd redo this with new peole

[meager crag]

True, we need more local memes tbh

[frigid axle]

ohh that lowk looks easy, i thought i had to pass like in front of it

[meager crag]

Oh nah, just to get from one side to another

But this is with the delay

There's also variants like no delay, sector sweep and reverse

And combinations of

[frigid axle]

damm just for ts??

[meager crag]

Yeah

They're small details, but still affect the run in a big way

[dense depot]

I didn’t know tankovic had a youtube channel 🤤🐣🙌

[meager crag]

Yeah, but he's just got 2 vids

[dense depot]

I see. From a year ago, he should do more!

[meager crag]

Rules of the Holy Run are simple:

1. Start at the southern exit from the Swamp, survive the machine gun fire and make it to Rookie Village
2. Taking cover is allowed
3. Saving during the run isn't allowed. If you die, you have to start at the beginning of the entrance
4. No shooting allowed, run like hell

For EASY Mode (CRINGE), enter the Cordon for the first time. There will be a delay before the machine gunner will shoot ("Stalker detected, open fire!")

Additional challenges for REAL Chads:

• No Hit Holy Run (Don't get hit)
• Sector Sweep Holy Run (Soldiers patrol the kill zone. Can only be done after the first time.)
• Reverse Holy Run (Do the Holy Run but the other way around. Start at the Rookie Village and make your way to the southern entrance to the Swamps

Combining these challenges is also possible for extra bragging rights

It's a sort of local tradition

[frigid axle]

damm

[meager crag]

I can tell you that the Reverse No Hit Sector Sweep Holy Run is absolute pain

Obv no delay, seen how it's Sector Sweep as well

[frigid axle]

seems like torture

[meager crag]

At least it gives you something to brag about

loaded my save after it started chucking stuff at me lol. then tried to see if the M701 can 1 hit it and it did but idk if it's because it didn't yet see me because they did add in a stealth damage boost.

Yep, it gets crazy expensive as you get better gear. Even my SEVA-V suit and AK-74 typically average 3-4k per repair combined

[serene barn]

I am running the SIRCAA suit only missing the 3rd leaded container and the head psi thing. A GP37v2 which annoyingly can’t use the drum mag I found yesterday. A fully modified M701 and the Unique Kora fully modified too.

Even the Buket when i used that felt expensive to repair and it sure didn’t use to. Thinking maybe the NVG modification doesn’t help due to how expensive it is.

[summer owl]

Overboard?

[hot quail]

yes, their ideology went too far. I cannot elaborate further

personally, Loner patch for me, maybe

[dusky pawn]

Their ideology kinda regressed if anything same with duty

[summer owl]

Myklukha brought too much capitalism into it by the events of stalker 2

Clear sky and CoP was peak Volya

[summer owl]

I posted pics in #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay if anyone walks to check it out

[dusky pawn]

Yeah both became jokes which seems to be a setup for cost of cope

[summer owl]

Mhm

[hot quail]

it's uh, I'm not allowed to say

[summer owl]

SoC id honestly stick loner time and time after, but the other 2 games are easy Volya picks

[hot quail]

Volya? I thought it was Svoboda?

[dusky pawn]

Reminds me of the times when flecktarn bdus were like 5 dollars a piece in thrift stores

[dusky pawn]

The text on the patch spells volya

[summer owl]

Volya is ukrainian

[dusky pawn]

I assume svoboda is russian volya ukrainian

[hot quail]

interesting

[summer owl]

Yes, but svoboda also means freedom in Ukrianian

[hot quail]

I didn't know that

[dusky pawn]

Tbh it also means freedom in polish its just a very antiquated word

[summer owl]

While volya means both freedom and will/free will

[summer owl]

Yeah lmao

[hot quail]

yes please

[summer owl]

Move to Poland

[dusky pawn]

Nah its not like that anymore

[hot quail]

I'm having it pretty good with my gun freedoms here in the US

[dusky pawn]

The surplus ger stuff dried out

[summer owl]

I remember when I saw just a wave of fantastic stalker cosplays from Poland

[dusky pawn]

In fact rn almost all surplus in europe has dried out because most nations just destroy their equipment

[summer owl]

Damn lmao

[dusky pawn]

Poland fortunately still has an aftermarket of surplus tho

[dusky pawn]

Tbf I can own the same guns you can it just requires more paperwork

Anything semi auto up to 12.7mm caliber basically

[hot quail]

I'd post some of my cool stuff but I think I'm still not allowed to post pictures for some reason

[summer owl]

Move to Switzerland

[dusky pawn]

I mean

[summer owl]

You can in other channels

[dusky pawn]

Switzerland is weird gun wise

They have so many and its normal to own one there not because of liberal law towards guns but mostly because of their defence strategy

The most liberal country in europe when it comes to guns would be czechia imo

[hot quail]

what if I DM you one

[summer owl]

Sure

[dusky pawn]

As for pics u need lvl 50

[summer owl]

We counting uk or no

[hot quail]

yeah that's never gonna happen

[dusky pawn]

Hell nah im not counting that hellhole

Also why would I they have some of the worst gun laws

Actually no they have some of the worst LAWS overall

As for gun friendly euro countries you have
Czechia
Switzerland
Poland
Finland
Estonia ?
And seeing as polenar is slovenian they are probably also fine gun wise

[summer owl]

If I'm not mistaken, Sweden is hardcore when it comes to gun laws

[dusky pawn]

I have never heard anything good about their gun laws

I also know basically all of western europe has bad gun laws

Also dont be mistaken by graphs with % gun ownership it often takes leftover guns from wars (serbia), hunters or uses some weird metodology and doesnt reflect the laws

For example poland has very liberal tho overcomplicated laws basically every normal citizen can have guns however the society is so ignorant of this fact that very few pursue this and the gun ownership remains low

[summer owl]

Yeah I figured

Gun culture in Europe is a far cry from how it is in the US

[dusky pawn]

There basically is no gun culture outside switzerland and czechia

But as I said that does not mean that you cant own or shoot guns

Hell poland even has legal concealed carry without of any specific permits from what I know

You can also open carry swords if you are into that

[summer owl]

I mean like, the culture around guns, how they're treated and thought about

[summer owl]

I heard!

Was looking into Poland's knife/blades weapon laws

[dusky pawn]

I know what you mean

In most countries guns are some mystical devices no one normal even thinks about

But in the us or czechia and swiss they are way more normalised

To the point that czechs wrote a 2nd ammendment like law into their constitution

[summer owl]

Yeah, they're like in movies and video games

It's kinda wild that as an American I had to apply in my state for the license to own a firearm, just to buy a switchblade

Like, a knife with a spring is as legally accessible as a gun

[dusky pawn]

It is a perk of living here for now any bladed weapon is basically the same to polish law

[summer owl]

Yeah, which I love

[dusky pawn]

Its just idiotical to even change this but sadly many western politicians watch too many movies

[dusky pawn]

Yeah it kinds reminds me of cigars

Everyone knows they exist but barely anyone knows how you are supposed to smoke them (as evidenced by almost every movie failing to potray it properly)

[summer owl]

Lmao, that's a good comparison. Everyone has seen a cigarette but few have actually seen a cigar

Imma use that comparison in the future that's a good one

Sweet thanks boss

[sleek hemlock]

I feel like the update is close for stalker 2 because on the new binoculars render says on the pair K 12/05 which could very well mean May 12

[proven hollow]

they must've been cooking something all this year i suppose

[small quest]

i want to believe — but if i was GSC i would not be putting any dates in stone anywhere

they never hit em!

[sleek hemlock]

Originally the numbers weren't on that rendered pair of binoculars

[serene barn]

i sure hope they'll fix some of the glaring issues the game has

[sleek hemlock]

Not just that but those railroad renders that were recently posted had newer vegetation and appearance along with new rendered areas

[sleek hemlock]

Me too

Hopefully the shadowing goes away on console as well

And if it's not may others suspected December some time

[smoky hawk]

a definite fix to many of S2s problems would be the complete removal of Stalker from consoles

this would really enhance the game

[serene barn]

not sure if the pics looked any different than that i remember seeing

[hoary crest]

It actually does 😄

Took the better part of an hour an a half, but you may now refer to me as "slap'ead"

[frigid axle]

i think that the update that will fix most things will be the engine update, tho im sure that every mod will break there maybe, who knows

[sleek hemlock]

Nice attempt

[smoky hawk]

you dont think it would help the game?

[frigid axle]

S2 would still stay like it is even if consoles were removed im guessing, the only thing that would change is update release time since they would not need to optimize it for console

[smoky hawk]

yhea, it would be better for S2

[frigid axle]

Getting your update 2 weeks earlier is worth deleting a whole genre of gamers from the series? well, everyone has tastes so i don't judge

[smoky hawk]

yes, yes it is

[sleek hemlock]

It's a mixed bag stalker sold more on console than PC so it's best to stick with what you've got currently believe me I wish I wasn't a console peasant lol but as a unemployed person who lives in a crappy area I believe I should be capable of enjoying games on console as much as a PC players

[frigid axle]

bro don't bother saying that you'd wanna be PC team, if you're a console player that's what matters to em, not what you think but what you have

[smoky hawk]

damn, unemployed bc of being a console player
sad sad

[frigid axle]

talks the pc master race where 1 stick of ram costs almost 2 ps5's

[smoky hawk]

too dumb to buy smart, its why you choose the console

[frigid axle]

too poor to buy expansive id say

[sleek hemlock]

Youre right but the PC exclusivity, mods... everything

[proven hollow]

just don't be unemployed lmao

[sleek hemlock]

That's right actually and disabled unfortunately

[smoky hawk]

the problem isnt that youre poor its just that you suck at being poor

[frigid axle]

if he were in America you would be right, but in some country's jobs are either using your mental and body capacity till burnout for 20€ or want like 56 diplomas, depends on the country

[frigid axle]

wait there are people who are pro at being poor?

[smoky hawk]

I have yet to meet one

[frigid axle]

hmm a myth then

20 euros an hour is okay though, that's 3200 a month

i didnt mean every hour, most likely every week

I have a question for my fellow Stalkers. How many STALKER games does it take to officially go through puberty? I'm 26 and haven't gone through it yet, my doctor prescribed at least playing Clear Sky and a little of Shadow of Chernobyl, was my doctor right? Or should I get a new doctor?

[smoky hawk]

I dont expect the congolese silicon farmer to buy a PC, but I also dont expect him to buy a console

if you have enuff cash to buy a console but too poor to buy a pc

you fucked up

you suck at being poor

[proven hollow]

You need Doctor X's questline for Call of Chernobyl

[frigid axle]

Do stalker 2 no hit run

[smoky hawk]

Shadow of Chernobyl PMm only run

[frigid axle]

Do clear sky Reverse No delay No hit run

[frigid axle]

wait call of chernobyl?

[arctic kite]

I also had one more question, my grandma doesn't recognize me anymore. Does she have amnesia like Strelok in the beginning of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl?

[smoky hawk]

no you're just very ugly

[frigid axle]

your grandma is Scar

[sleek hemlock]

Either way I'm going to enjoy stalker 2 and my console until I get a PC eventually

[proven hollow]

Yes

[frigid axle]

what's that

[proven hollow]

I gave your grandmother a rod of uranium

[main jewel]

im your grandma

[frigid axle]

[proven hollow]

I think there should be 2 reloading and jam clearing animations.

Standard and Combat reloads.

Standard reloads being the ones we already have. With Skif acting like he's at a firing range and not in active combat. This would be the animations used out of combat.

Combat ones would be much faster and would be more like how the enemies reload. Much quicker.

I think in Master difficulty however you're still stuck with Standard animations.

i got idea bro, become a teacher to teach how to get pcs in America, make people pay 10€ every session, and in 1 month you're rich

[old aurora]

😭

[main jewel]

in combat reloads should be shaky and not fluid

there should be some mess ups

trust

[smoky hawk]

that's just the repair shop cycle bro

it already exists

[main jewel]

i would totally miss the mag well using an mp5 with rhe original mags

original straight ones

[arctic kite]

I think what the pc enthusiast is trying to say is to sell your kidney to get a pc, you only need one kidney tbh. America is the land of opportunity and black market organ selling

[old aurora]

That too. Personally I think there should be a progression system for weapons. With like 3 levels. The more you use them the better Skif gets at handling and reloading them. I think the AK and PM should start at level 2 since Skif definitely served with them. And their level 1 animations would only be able to be found with console commands. Each level makes Skif quicker at reloading, clearing a jam, handling the weapon, and less sway.

[smoky hawk]

Ive talked with people that have picked entire shipments of high end enterprise laptops that still worked flawlessly and only required a 100 euro replacement of the screen to work as a laptop again

this was in america btw

[old aurora]

And the more you increase the level the less messups that will occur

[arctic kite]

I love pc gaming, I play on a steam deck though if that counts.

[smoky hawk]

yhea

[small quest]

[proven hollow]

I recently bought a laptop from some refurbished site, great deal tbh, 200 euros for one that'd cost 1500 euros new

[smoky hawk]

if youre smart about it getting a PC is cheaper than getting a new console

[frigid axle]

10 out of 10 Ram sticks don't agree with that statement

[smoky hawk]

revealing your power level

[sleek hemlock]

Says the constant power creep when it comes to having to update your parts

[smoky hawk]

"having" to update your part is ho so bad compared to needing a completely new device arbirtarally

[sleek hemlock]

Console for the most part has a fixed price all in one setup and not only that most parts that I mentioned are about the same price as a CONSOLE if not more

How's it feel having to pay for a GPU that's about the price as a down payment on a car or house?

[frigid axle]

what are yall arguing ab

[smoky hawk]

you can build a better PC than a Console at the same price as it, and you are locked into an ecosystem that will make you pay more for less, it will work itself into an accrued cost
when with a PC you can get worse and still make do, with a wider selection of games and options to do it with

[proven hollow]

someone is just being very angry about being poor, i think that's the gist of it

[sleek hemlock]

Not denying that but hating on people is just stupid in all honesty especially people like myself in a situation that's a personal matter you don't understand with all due respect

[smoky hawk]

when I was a kid and I was dumpster diving to find parts I wish I was in America where they throw away high tech completely good hardware like its nothing

[smoky hawk]

not really, if a person is too stupid to do their own research and understand why buying into an option that will fuck their own ass, thats their own problem

[old aurora]

Andddddddddd with none of the customizaiblity, adaptability, lack of most games, harder to play most games, worse graphics, just general use of a computer for YT, work etc, and all the other plethora of reasons?

[frigid axle]

well i think that his way is not hating but trying to make you see how easy it is, like

Nolan when he punched the shi out of mark

[sleek hemlock]

Ah so abusive parent concept got it

[smoky hawk]

if youre penny pinching graphics are the least of your concern, but with PCs you can modify the newer games to give yourself an edge at playing them, at the same scale as a console in fact

[frigid axle]

im dyin

[smoky hawk]

I used to play Elden Ring on a 1030 graphics card

[sleek hemlock]

Did you beat it?

[smoky hawk]

I am not a parent

[feral sigil]

whats yall favorite weapon reload animation

[old aurora]

And play more. Overall it's less cost long term for MUCH more rewards

[smoky hawk]

yes actually, including the dragon fights

[sleek hemlock]

Impressive but tbf it's the easiest of the souls games bloodborne is...hell but lovely

[frigid axle]

oh now we got a souls game topic

[smoky hawk]

yes but Elden Ring is the hardest game to run on their catalogue, and I was able to get it working on a 1030 at 60fps stable
like I said, you can get new games to run on older frailer hardware even without knowhow, if youre penny pinching PC is really your best friend

[sleek hemlock]

Hm....fair but isnt windows updates or system updates the absolute worst?

[smoky hawk]

you can use Windows without paying, you will get a watermark, and thats it, and you can enable windows without a payment thru many methods
or you can use one of the many Linux distros that are free, faster and more reliable

[frigid axle]

wait elden ring is? i thought Dark souls 2 was

[smoky hawk]

DS2 is considerably easier to run

[frigid axle]

ohhh nvm i didn't read "to run" i thought difficulty

i wonder if my challenge is over complicated or too easy lowk, there's a lot to read so people with low attention spams disqualify themselves

[hoary crest]

Elden Ring mentioned? Who's looking to get their ass beat in 1v1?

[main jewel]

well now you stepped to far

worst idea since gamma

[old aurora]

But why

[sleek hemlock]

Was bloodborne hell to emulate from what I recall? Also as a console player who has exclusives that PC doesn't...I want y'all to enjoy it in all honesty I hope bloodborne comes to pc along with other titles and I appreciate the honesty too many people are afraid to be eventually I will save to get a PC

[hoary crest]

You were stanning for Gamma not a few days back 😂

[smoky hawk]

ho I dont care, Bloodborne is hell to emulate but thats emulation
other than that what does PS have that matters? nothing

[hoary crest]

Exclusive games was a shit idea 20 years ago and its still a shit idea now (oh im going to get botted)

Huh.... Or maybe not.

[smoky hawk]

we could've been closer to world peace if Nintendo didn't destroy an entire generation

[sleek hemlock]

Death stranding, ghost of tsushima, ghost of yotei...not really much you're right

[proven hollow]

exclusive games are just there to gaslight people into buying crappy gaming platforms

[smoky hawk]

DE1-2 are on pc, so is GoT, as for GoY sounds like a worse GoT which already was a ubisoft copy cat
i lose nothing by not playing these games

[serene barn]

man polters being able to throw shit at me through the map is really not helping me against the 2 that spawn when you use the scanner on the crane in the Cooling Towers. :/

[smoky hawk]

its the same with Uncharted and TLOU, dont feel bad, I dont care I can gleam as much from them from a yt video as I could playing em

the only thing PS does is movie games, not really a pity we dont have em

[sleek hemlock]

[hoary crest]

No, bathe in the light of the Monolith

Wait hang on I'm menna be with the bandits... oh f*ck it, its too late now. Hail the Monolith!

being a part of any other factions is merely a transitionary phase to joining the Monolith

What would Clear Sky think of the new factions
I think they'd definitely wouldnt like the Ward

[proven hollow]

they'd just join spark

[tame panther]

Clear Sky arent Zone fanatics
Clear Sky sees the Zone for what it is, special and a miracle. But still dangerous and to be careful with
Spark is all Zone-simp

[proven hollow]

nah, Clear Sky was just c-con backup 2.0

[serene barn]

found Father Valerian but, i feel like his in game model looks different than when i did find him over a year ago on a different playthrough

[tame panther]

I think they can be both
If we consider this not to be a retcon

[proven hollow]

clear sky wanted to stop strelok reaching and destroying the c-con, spark essentially wants the c-con back

[tame panther]

Goal and views are two different things
Otherwise all of Duty would just merge with the Ward

[proven hollow]

different delusions, same goal
