i played the Tomb Raider remastered 1 and uhh, did not have a good time with it but i finished it. dunno if i wanna try 2. was a trilogy.
Mortal shell can be a bit clunky at times, it's a decent game, but not really fun to play sometimes
Thunderberry doesn't have electrical resistance like at all
yeah it doesn't. idk why they mentioned it there

dude it's so dumb that you take damage from Polters flying into you especially with how often you're fighting them in places where their pathing is where you are semi forced to be at to get a shot on them
So ig glare is the only damn option?
How come you can't join Freedom or Duty, and why are we locked into picking Spark or Ward at the end? Neither one imo is good for the zone.
idk what that one does or by how much so

Is this not literally the Flesh sound from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Or am i just confused
Im nor sure if this sound was only in Anomaly or also in the triology
i'm a fan of the sneak attack they they added to the game lol, i can't remember when i read about it but it's nice lol.
I kept the drowned ar but there's a grenade launcher attachment right but how come I can't use the HEDP??
The gp25 kostyer uses soviet vog25 40 mm caseless grenades the 40mm HEDP rounds are for the m203. Same caliber but they are substantially different rounds and aren't interchangeable
and for whatever reason, GSC decided that one needed to be heavier than the others but they do the same damage. i'm not sure if either one has any different reach in launching distance.
Its the HEDP thats heavier right ? I think they just based it on the fact its a larger thing
yeah it is.
my issue is that there was no reason for it to be heavier when they perform the same way.
They dont model weight based on performance from what I know
Guns with the same performance have diff weights sometimes even skins do so idk why you would expect a smaller 40mm and larger 40mm to weigh the same
I mean they could but they seemingly tried to make weights different between items
because it seems lame to make the grenades for the underrail launchers different weights but they do the same things. like it punishes you for wanting to use the M203 because it's grenades are much heavier.
like the 2 hand grenades have different weight and while they do the same damage, the F1 has a noticeably larger radius. of 10m where the RGD has 7m.
but according to the admittedly outdated sheet. the launcher grenades do the same damage and have the same radius.
and i have no reason to think they've touched on these as i don't remember reading anything about them in patch notes while i've been away from the game
it's like how in the game, 9mm is heavier than .45 but it shouldn't be.

Anyone have issues with vendors standing up from their table and being unreachable in 2? Tech in duty base like this and Birch in rostok is standing up
it's annoying when i gotta go somewhere and the game decides to spawn like 4 squads of monolith Exos.
so you know i gotta run back to Yaniv to repair my stuff after killing those and grabbing their shit
Do Dutyers and Freedomers NPCs shoot eachother after the Treaty broke in STALKER 2 or no
I've no clue but are we not going to question the NSFW banner literally just sitting here rn? 😭
I did warn
Dear god....
yeah it's like, not really something i wanted to see on here nor in that moment. so it's not like imma have my day ruined over it.

man i have some choice words for the dev that decided there needed to be a ball lightning in the Monolith field hospital in such a small room.

it's bothering me that i am considering running back to Yaniv to grab some low tier artifact from my stash or 2 just to bait this ball lightning.
Any suggestion for mods/modpacks to use as someone who is still a bit new to stalker, i have played the original trilogy but wanted to try out some freeplay stuff
Gamma (=
if you wanna play stalker play the OGs, if you don't then anything you want
Nice pfp it's a mood
I did see a few videos of that but I'm not really a big fan of how it seems to be alot harder (atleast from first glance)
That's the point I feel like personally stalker isn't meant to be easy but as stoc said you have to find a specific preference
I mean yeah sure I want it to be hard, but not that hard
that sounds bad out of context now that I'm thinking about it
is Gamma the one with all the locations and no story or something and all the guns are made of parts you gotta repair or replace n stuff
GAMMA is a modpack built on top of a freeplay mod yhea
That or maybe trying out that one coop mod ive seen a few times
How about OLR?
this ball lightning is pissing me off lol. it's such a terrible place to put it and all it does is gurantee you'll need repairs on your worn gear if you don't die from it. ugh
downside is I know nobody who would want to play stalker co-op lol
you dont even know if you like it
I mean, from what Im reading its the entirety of call of pripyat but co-op, I liked the game so maybe playing with a few friends would also be fun
ended up just taking my weapons off and slotting in the weird bolt but that still did like 5% damage to my suit just to get the little loot there was in there. smh
I assume you mean XRMPE, which uses a completely different gameplay design from COP, its not Stalker
what does that even mean
Basically, it's not vanilla but co-op
pretty simple to understand what I mean
oh, so its modded, I mean I could tell it had atleast a graphics mod of some kind from screenshots but what else
They had something really simple and tinkered too much on it until it was basically an actual mod
Imma go try it out, better to actually see whats different myself
https://www.xrmpe.online
the entire gunplay and balancing is completely different
xrMPE
I know youre talking about this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDIuHDOyqaQ
it uses Gunslinger, which does make complete overhauls to the games gunplay
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat Co-op
Go through a familiar story with your friends. In this cooperative addon for the X-Ray Multiplayer Extension, all story and additional tasks are available, and almost all the mechanics of the original game are adapted for multiple players. The mode supports up to 4 players.
DOWNLOAD LAUNCHER: https://www.xrm...
I played Stalker 2 first. Tried to play CoP enhanced and the graphics are just awful for me like it breaks the immersion. Gamma is really good though for mod. I did not like anomaly one bit
Oops sorry didnt realize that was old
cattle
Idk what you mean by that lol. I value visuals more than anything in games though tbh. Gameplay close second
i wonder if i can make more coupons on killing the monolith in their field hospital than i'd get from not.
I like how Korshunov orders you to || kill Dalin || and then proceeds to give you zero time to do that, does it himself, accidentally hitting you multiple times, and then yells at you for not following orders
VTO VTOOO
watching a video of 150+ supposedly missing features in Stalker 2 when compared to the older titles and some of them are really stupid lol.
ok so, tried out that co-op mod, doesnt feel too much different, and its not easier it seems
gunplay feels better since its not as clunky though which is a plus, and you cant just run in like a nutjob and live even on stalker difficulty, you will still get melted by even bandits with half broken aks
"This is what you missed in stalker 2"
Proceeds to not tell you what you missed
Like and subscribe
For more moments to waste your time on
yeah that video is hilarious
Wait...co-op mod?
xrMPE specifically, call of pripyat but upto 4 player co-op
i did see there was a addon to have shadow of chernobyl in co-op but i cant for the life of me find any more info on that
I wish it worked with Gamma
There's also a new Anomaly VR mod so that would be cool if it worked with GAMMA for example
eww gamma
im sorry, Stalker in VR?
yes
Neat
I think this is the video for it, all in russian or ukrainian though ( I can't tell)
Pretty bare bones rn but I think he's still working on it so it might take a while before it reaches it's full potential
but it is available to play I believe
who's hyped to be dissapointed tomorrow?
Yes
9
like some of it just feels like it's needlessly shitting on Stalker 2 while others are much more fair.
i'm always hyped to be dissapointed by GSC 
yeah i went into that vid wanted to agree with him
but wow — some of it feels like a joke?
IM IN THE STRELOK BOSSFIGHT AND MY ARMOR IS AT FCKING ZERO!!!!
like i paused the vid on number 55 but like some of them just seems weird because he points at them all like they're mistakes
like at cars not being radioactive but some of them are. idk why so many of the cars left there should be radioactive after that long time not to mention anything else.
guys dont send me friend requests. I dont believe in online love
one of them was about how enemies used to be downed in the older games and like....that literally can happen in 2 as well just not as much, much less when your clip of you showcasing it not happening is you point blanking a bandit with a damn Saiga
Engagement bait basically
A lot of morons on yt realised stalker fans were disapointed with S2 so they just endlessly farm views by making slop relating to it being terrible
Its like with cyberpunk when it came out where the narrative was that it was some unplayable game on pc and consoles while it ran in 40 fps on my 960 without many bugs either
A 960
Hi everyone
Heard some sort of rumor that there is some update tomorrow? 12th may? hm
prepare for disappointment, we all are
supposedly it was seen in the April Fools video.
Binocs video
hmm small bino update tomorrow wouldnt hurt xD
thought that would make a message link, o well. it's the same pic i posted in screens n videos
no pics allowed
in the newest video, the Binocs, it had the date 12/05
A new forest fire erupted aprox 3.5km from the military complex duga is located in
So the burnt forest is now genuinely real+there is a real risk of the antenna complexes being damaged if the drought continues (and it will)
The Scar bossfight might just be worse than Faust
ohhhhhh i hate this
ohhhhh thats not a good opinion
I mean, even if it is, 🤷
Those TVs dont even do shit
i dont judge your opinions
you should
but you couldn't because mine are awesome
I dont judge anyone opinion
This is all subjective so you really cannot
I will go play GAMMA and think on it 
I found this new game called Road to Vostok. I am trying the demo. Shows similar to Stalker 2 lol
Grok, the Festering One, has claimed another innocent spirit and forced it into Gammnation
A heart of Gold hardened to that of stone
Gamma is not that bad
He's got you there
You like Internet and pay for it
"I LOVE gamma!!!!! Oh man i gotta renew my subscription to final fantasy 14! oh shoot, i don't got enough money because I'm still financing that ps5 pro. oh well, guess I'll take out another loan!!"
Lmao, you sound funny
guys, don't get me wrong, but the old OG Stashes made the walking simulator more intriguing, like there wasn't the ender chest like in S2 right? you had to Move your loot between stashes, and lowk, it's very fun to do
like i can't wait for the moment ill need to move my loot to another stash
i personally love the ender chest system
it was irritating to basically pick a spot to store your stuff, and wander between a couple stashes to find where you left something
id like if a Personal stash mod would exist, that would permit you to make your own stash, and if your stash is not well hidden, there will be a parameter that will calculate if your stash is easily reachable, and if yes, you'd get all your loot stolen
that would be insufferable
Too much time
but I do yours
then just a personal stash mod, nothing too much 
Also there is a person in this discord that has done that in his game
a mod?
Nope, vanilla
he just used pre placed stashes to stash his loot?
They have a YouTube video on it too
Nah, made his own stash
ohh, well wait, loot never despawns?
Dude grabbed an item and placed them all around
Looked like it would have taken him a full day to or something
he hand placed his loot?
Yup
prolly just dropped it on the ground and tried to nudge it around
Sin being as vague and indescript as possible
so loot is forever persistent? when dropped
it probably is
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i might do the same thing, it sounds very intriguing
i'd rather just use a stash bag that that.
yeah
Look on screens and videos, they posted them there last time I spoke with him
If they are not banned, it should still be there
but you can't decide where is the stash bag, you need to find one some where pre placed, you can drop loot every where you want instead
Well thanks for the info, ill use this at my advantage, or disadvantage, depends the pov
i also wouldn't need to worry about the stuff clipping through the map
table 
container bag better
apparently not, if you go far away enough it will despawn
probably a mod then
awh, sin said that dude was on vanilla tho
In the video yeah
well yk what, ill try real quick
Dude probably took like a full real day to do
ill use a guide to go to prypriat, drop an armour and gun and food, use a guide to go to rookie village, stay there for 10 mins, and then ill check again
the problem is not Despawn distance but despawn time
bcs even if theire still there maybe the despawn time is just high
Is there like a way to see all the times you've been "@"? On discord?
Would be easier to do to find this thing
alt + f4
Haha, very funny
you can check your notifications but there's a lot of stuff as well too there
also apparently things despawn on game reload, but that may have been related to the other issues with despawning and may have been fixed
Your inbox
It's in the top right next to the ?
I like how CoP did their stashes, a central hub with a storage for you
thats nice and all but the ender chests are awesome
after theire still there, ill go to rookie village again and log out-in and go to prypriat once again to check
True, but the stashes themselves can be grabbed at any point which means that, if you know their location, you can basically speedrun getting good equipment
Because of this, I prefer the older system
same for s2
HoC has that as well?
Fair, wonder if theres a way to mod it so stashes are randomized instead of set spawns for CoP
Yet another HoC L as usual
yes? aren't stashes all the same? for me always
I dunno, I haven't played HoC tbf
Last time I did, I was physically cringing over the controls
when you go to Cordon after meeting the Doctor. there is some monolith who attacked loners, is it possible to save the guy or does he always die as it seems scripted?
ohh that's why you didn't know, well yeah, you might find some randomized stashes, but the randomized loot is not good loot but the same things, ammo, medikits, food, all over and over again
and the stashes with guns should be always the same i think
also exos have pre placed positions, as well as tons of other armours and guns, without any RNG spawn
that's why people had complains about stages in S2, not because they were boring, but because they were Repetitive, and even if GSC tweaked them, theire still are predictable and repetitive, you might find an attachment maybe, after 60 stashes
After all these years... #stalker #stalker2 #shorts #gamingshorts
Blyaaa
i'm still a bit sad to see how Sidor turned out in 2. he seems like such a different guy.
HoC writing in a nutshell
he passed puberty
Playing DayZ such a fun!

Yeah
WTFF LMAOO, GUYS YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME
Okay, in that case, I won't
duplication glitch
I AM SO TIRED OF ENEMIES FCKING SPAWNING BEHIND ME
HoC moment
maybe turn around dude 🙄
Yeah, but then the duders will spawn behind him again
How about you turn around and spread em cheeks bro
gotta be quick
So, is the spawning related to the back or to your field of vision?
He can only do bow motion with a mouse
on the clock. after hours, okay?
Just right behind where im standing
Okay sweettcheeks
what if you back into a wall
Bro, you're not helping 😭
I DROPPED ALL THE LOOT LIKE BESIDE THE TRADER, ANDAN ARTIFACT AS WELL, AND THE FUKING ARTIFACTS WENT TO SIT ON THE COUCH WHEN I CAME BACK

i was in the library for FIVE WHOLE HOURS studying up on cicadas (I am studying to be an entomologist :D). I was reading this book from like 1910 or something and it like was really old n stuff. anyway, it mentioned the landslipper and hither to, i had not heard of this cicada. so i went on to wikipedia to learn more about him and he didnt freaking have an article! anyway, i found out this thing was discovered by Frankie Xavier Fever or whatever his name was, and me wanting to be a first time contributive member of this community, i added ALL of the information found from this darn book, that i forgot the name of, to his page. so yeah. im like, totally ticked off. we should settle this over a game of shuffleboard. up to you though i dont really care i guess. anyway have a great wednesday or thursday or friday or saturday.
im so freaking peeved.

So did anyone see that our endearing president released more UFO files?
are you sure?
Whole Lotta nuttin for 5hrs
For a second, I forgot the internet actually has a president
are you talking about the orange skin president
I feel so stupid rn
i mean yeah, what did you expect
Need some Wo’ah after repeating?
The lizard yeah
its just investigation files
Well, seen how he isn't my president, I assume he's talking about the president of the internet
you expected the government to release some insane evidence of UFOs
are you sure?
its literally just shit they've collected
Government is alien
Man I haven't played the game yet waiting for the engine update and dlc
so is your mother and your father
I expected like a confirmation on like if weather balloons exist
we don't exist, we are only binary
why do you need confirmation 
That’s political science
are you sure?
And all I got was "did we recover UFO crash sites?" And the answer was "I would be mire comfortable to speak about this privately"
are you sure?
i mean that is the military term
I have a riddle ready?
are you sure?
Are you sure?
I dunno, do you have a riddle ready?
the whole file is just stuff they've collected and looked into because they were investigating if enemies had recon or something
are you sure?
corvina, my sweet dear, please SHUT THE FUCK UP
are you sure?
Do you know how British plebs says hamster?
where is Nibblecrum
remove r from crum
Still doesn't answer my question
woah ... heheh....
..
Are weather balloons real or not
~ Hamstuh
sin.. are you sure?
the earth is flat the moon landing never happened the government is lying to you they're in your PlayStation
And do you know how they say Hamster in the forest?
hamse
pigeons don't exist
Well, first of all, you need lungs
But are Weather balloons real
Hamstuhwolves
cats aren't real either
fake fake fake
i suppose thats it then
Werehamster
Wowzers

Real
My cat wants more food after I gave her two cans of chicken patè
cats take after their owner
She needs to catch up then, because I eat like 8 meals a day
that explains a lot
does the house thunder when you descend the stairs
does your car sink a little when you climb in
Nah, lmao I'm only 225
fatass
My doctor said the same thing, I'm 1lb overweight at 6'1"
Her words were, "lift more"
Well there we have it
Second playthrough of HoC
And nothing changed with 1.9 i must say
idk thats a lot more than just one lb
Anyways imma take a nap, wake me up when disclosure day comes out in the theater
is there anywhere that we can see the stats of guns from the game? key words being, up to date. lol
Thats like 29 bmi or smth
Which I mean you can have high bmi from muscle but otherwise thats almost obese
i wonder if they'll ever make the Corps not spawn anywhere outside of their regions.
yeah
Im in the first hour. Just planted my scanner at the first coordinate. My scanner is going off in the area in front of me, where there r anomalies. Do i avoid that area or is there another artifact to be found there?
if you're not sure if there's an artifact in an anomaly cluster you can always pull out your detector to scan for one.
So i just did that. The scanners bar isnt showing up but im hearing a beeping??
If it’s the prologue then just navigate to the scanner and pick it up, then move to the next location.
You finalllly!!!
Alien Fireteam elite gets a sequel
Game was underrated af
Hopefully it's 4 players this time instead of 3
if the light on your Detector isn't blinking there isn't any. another source of beeping is your anomaly proximity warning system thingy.
For a sec there I thought you were really happy to see me lol.

Ahh ok that makes sense, thanks
yw
Then alien isolation is also getting a sequel
Will my artifact detector also beep when there is one near by?
yeah it will.
Always happy to see you
one of the first Anomaly Clusters you can find that can spawn an artifact is in a cave near the Boiler House.
The first artifact I found on my detector when I started the game literally never spawned in. I went back multiple times even on a different save after ~400 hours total I still never got it a single time. Cant recall exact location, but i think early on in Garbage maybe
Old foundry looking concrete structure with metal stairs on outside, electrict anomalies all around, and a truck maybe a big yellow digger vehicle thing lol idk the name
@dusty rivet also why is that your pfp? Lol
How does bro know that? 
alien fireteam elite was kind of mid
Only good alien game was isolation tbh
not a lot of customization, plus the company that made them doesn't keep their license for far too long.
that's wrong
2005 aliens vs predator
Don't worry bro, I gotchu
Alien dark descent was a damn good game
what do you mean? your detector picked up a signal but you never saw it?
Vinesauce?
Ok so im at the very beginning of the game and something that i cant see is throwing stuff at me??
No, this is Patrick
Could have fooled me
It's not tbh
Poltergeist throwing stuff at you, if you see an electric looking thing moving shoot at it
Looks cold to me 
Otherwise it could be a burer that kinda looks like a gnome and can strip away your weapon
Like a cool autumn day
How long after the start of the game can u sell ur loot? Im already encumbered, im walking around with like 6 guns
in the first hub you get to, Zalissya.
remember to never sell to anyone who isn't like the main trader. it just isn't worth it.
that's bob, don't mind him, hes a little mean
You probably don't need every gun, you can just unload them and drop them if they have a bad condition
Yes i swear I even went back with Velis and dude its like this thing was stuck underground, but i know it was not a cave
Im not joking I spent at least 2 hours there lol
Artifacts sometimes spawning underground has been a known issue for a long time. Its why i quicksave before getting close enough to pick up an artifact signal if i know the cluster might have one
@marble gyro i logged out in rookie village, logged in, and went to prypriat again, and every part of the loot is still heree!!!!
I think it has to do with like how many in game days before it starts to despawn
Ive played hundreds of hours & im still nowhere close to good enough to be able to predict anomaly clusters & quicksave before approaching lol
oh btw guys, Peak suggestion for GSC that just came in to my mind,
make that if npcs loot a better gun than they have, they will use it
imagine a bandit with a Drum mag Saiga
Hooow dude lol.
bet
Never had to
imma test rn
I just roll with whatever I find
Cant be bothered to keep saving & repeating. If it is bugged, it is bugged lol
also it would be cool if npcs picked up every item you dropped, who wouldn't pick a full customized ak?
I just mean like. A lot of them are map marked locations
Where did you say you looked at again?
@serene barn
I cant remember the name. It was focused around the electric anomalies though iirc
Electric Field maybe
@marble gyro i passed 4+ ingame days in Rookie village, i just returned to prypriat and all the loot is here including the artifact
Yes thats the one
A-Life?
what's that
has it been added yet? im assuming no from your answer
Something that's bugged
Never heard of it, maybe you're talking ab another game
Nah, it is just B-Life now
then you don't know stalker my friend.
nah you got the wrong server imo, check again
Gosh a life, something they can't get right from the start
alright, see you guys in another year lmao
This was my first stalker game so feels fine to me LOL
when there will be a battle pass and multiplayer skins? alr
If and that's a big IF we hear about the dlc this year we'll see how badly they've 'fixed' it this time
If Stalker 2 is your first experience you’re missing out.
Trilogy is a lot different.
I tried the CoP and didn't like it at all
Don't even get started on multiplayer. Heard rumours about pvp, like wtf
Too outdated for me
It was cool at first, but got horrible real fast
They’re just dated but they did things 2 doesn’t.
The only trilogy game i finished was SoC, and it was worth it
Visuals are awful and im spoiled. I need visuals
Nah I'm in the same boat. Nothing against old stalker but its just too outdated
Stalker 2 looks fantastic lol it spoiled me
Some of the stuff it did is missing in S2 tho that's for sure
Ngl even Gamma looks fantastic too
Stalker 2 has many visual issues lol.
Idk about gamma, I'm a console rat haha
But visualt ain't there yet even in S2 for me
I look past stalker 2 issues bc the zone is so dang atmospheric
well just install weapon model/hand models/graphics mods for your playthrough and you're all set
Sorry im not trying to dog on the og games
but you did
Just not my cup of tea is all
Idk I've been getting lost in the Skyrim visuals while waiting for the dlc
Only their graphics which is not unfair
skyrim visuals are good but not trilogy's. Smh man
Skyrim looks like sh!t too 
Those games came out in like 2007-8 and 9.
then the graphics aren't the issue, you just don't like the trilogy for smt i cant guess
Graphics are dog by modern standards. Even if the game is decent, bad graphics are an instant turn off for me
they arent even bad, they are just old
Old = bad
Brah, hardly. Especially with the ton of texture mods available
"I have no personality and I must larp"
I don't use mods
the old graphics makes everything better, the game feels more original than UE5 premade graphics
Not really
Not in every case. Some games have aged way worse than others
To each their own
That’s just a shame. The trilogy is just different. 2 feels like it wanted to appeal to a new audience rather than people who played the originals.
you're saying The newer call of dutys are better than the older ones just for the graphics?
I cant play any old games anymore literally for this reason only. They look so bad it ruins the immersion
See that's the issue. Vanilla I wouldn't touch some games (mainly Bethesda stuff cause im on console) but with mods absolutely yes
or you are so bad at creating an immersion by being sold RTX shit
2’s gunplay is nicer thank frick.
Same, sometimes games NEED to be modded to be enjoyable more than ever
Gosh definitely not. Just finished WaW the other day and haven't even touched BO7
Dude I dont even own nvidia
you get what I mean
for some reason i just cant get into skyrim because of its graphics
it was not directed to you
graphics rarely matter for me in literally any other game except skyrim
Try oblivion remaster it is way better
ekhem starfield ekhem
I know but I had to throw that in haha
Don't mention that name, it doesn't deserve to be mentioned
Maybe you've played the wrong one of the 30 versions out there 😂
true
yk that some people turned Skyrim in to stalker by mods
there are probably mods that fix it but i havent found any yet, at least none that are a reasonable size
Xbox or PC? Idk about PS cause of restrictions but other than that theres TONS of visual improvement mods
pc
Fallout 5? TES 6 Nahhh release skyrim again. Bethesda takes too dang long developing
Try textures from the Dark Ages series. Really good. Along with DAWN weathers
ps restrictions are so ahh bro, literally, i tried fallout 4 in xbox and ps, and in ps you can't have new weapon or armour mods, what a piece of shet
Actually while I'm ranting. They literally released a TV show. Perfect time to launch another fallout. But no, wait another ten years when the show is long dead
Is Bethesda revealing things again?
I got 1k+hrs on modded FO4, 420+ on modded Skyrim. Never did any of those on vanilla.
(Also 600+ on the one which we don't mention, around 50 of that are vanilla)
To be fair, the TV show is dog water
You can use modpacks for it like NGVO or nolvus
I didn’t like Starfield that much and Oblivion Remastered was alright but felt weird lol.
it's bcs game graphics now days is not made to be the best, is made for making more money, so there's no soul or competitiveness in it
ES6 right now, otherwise known as Starfield with Swords. They won't even touch crimson desert I think, especially with the creation engine 2 still in use
I mean i didn’t like the way they used copy pasted locations but that isn’t really graphics in that way.
Lol I'm starting to doubt its even coming its been so long
Heard oblivion remastered is broken af still a year post launch
Prlly gonna be a situation like with Duke Nuke em forever where the game took 15 years to drop and was outdated from the get go
They did fix some things in the Oblivion Remaster.
Used to be such a bethesda fanboy. Then fallout 4 came and it shook me, fallout 76 was the final nail to destroy my faith.
I actually believe they've killed their reputation. Best fallout game is literally made by obsidian lol 😂
No mods on console so a no from me (till they add em at least)
Oblivion R also ran like shit on my pc and idk if its my pc, the settings or the game. Got like 20 fps when outside
The 3 of them
What I'm still salty about is that CDPR didn't drop the RedKit for consoles on CP2077 5 year anniversary. Literally could've been the next FO4 with at least 5+ years of ppl playing
Getting tired of railing Panam for the 5th time
Oblivion remaster is just ass tho
I did more so mean how things used to be really bad like you could screw yourself over by not speccing your char correctly and other things.
God i hope Metro 2039 will be banging….ughhh
I just got to the point where I find it hard to play vanilla. When I played F76 I was like damn I actually gotta scavenge and manage inventory. No more add 1k of this to an unlimited inventory 
Same here
What I'm not a fan of is that its back to the tunnels. I was hoping for a hybrid of tunnels and Exodus style open world
76 sucks with management. 1st sub being near mandatory is pissing me off lol.
I had it for a month, completed the game up to latest update which at the time was those big robots with stoms and electric ghouls, gave half of my shịt away to ppl just starting (I camped the exit of 76 lol) and then cancelled my sub and left
Haven't touched it since
I still play to get the shit from the seasons because fomo
I just came back to FO4 where I can mod and just stayed there
No sub needed also
I wasn't a big fan of the pass they had on 76
i wasn't a fan of how they changed it then artificially made it give less items while also requiring people too put more time into getting it done.
They prolly saw the drop and had to keep the engagement up
anyway i had a break. gonna go back to playing Stalker 2. need to explore X-3. while i listen to some questionable music for the setting.
I'm waiting for the dlc. The little update they did (aside the fact it broke so much) is not enough. I'll be back either when the dlc drops or when Oxide ads the RPD 
listening to "Be Crazy For Me" i think it's called. something i first heard from some music anime.
meanwhile my Ram-2 is blasting Snorks out of the air mid pounce
Each to their own
meanwhile me listing to the skellige theme while slashing bandits in skyrim
Damnnit I gotta change my skyrim to witcher now
Should try Crimson Desert, it’s basically Skyrim on crack.
I'd say it's more like LSD
CD sounds like uhh, big ol map but no story and loads of side quests and features. idk if i'd like it. heard the controls are whack af too
Seen the game, not my thing
Visuals are good and armor too. Also I like the fact that instead of playing the game, ppl are just building a giant cat army 
Fair and fair. If nothing else though, Pearl Abyss has set a new standard with CD imo.
It certainly did. Also I love their armors. I use a lot of the Black Desert Online sets in skyrim. Solar Knight being my favourite
FR. BDO has some really dope armours and weapons.
Meanwhile Todd "ehh, Creation Engine 2 with MANDATORY DLSS and framegen will do"
the thing about keys being universal feels like, so stupid dude. like what's the damn point in locking anything
Where? In which game?
Crimson Desert
Ah okay but yeah nah that sounds dumb
oh uh, so i am fighting the Psuedogiant in X-3, it's already killed me like 4 times now but i just got launched up on the railing or whatever above .-. i think i stepped on a box that got moved when the giant ran into it and it sent me flying
New update: Skif joins the airforce
since when did you take damage from giants just by being near them..
In kung fu panda there was a sword so sharp that you could cut yourself by just looking at it. Maybe in S2 the pseudogiants are so dangerous that you take prox damage by just being near them 
man i feel like these gas canisters do nothing to it
RPG?
i didn't bring one with me. i thought i remembered there being one here.
either way it took some tries but i did it.
Well done
thinking about if i should see if i can get some upgrades done to the Exosuit i got from there but it'll be rough because it's lacking in anomaly protection.
does the poppy field have any arch artifact?
what diff?
still Veteran
So I finished the game siding with Strelok and the ending for me was kinda....eh
Ganna start a new save wanna try some mods if they work with the latest version of the game any recommendations I'd prefer to keep story intact tho so won't do the no story mod
I feel like GSC shot themselves in the foot with these endings
Oxa prototype or ballistics redux hardcore is a must in ny opinion. Makes the game harder. Prototype adds a ton of stuff that complements the game. I would also add living zone by shay, weather mod, blood mod
I also should clarify I'm on Xbox
Those are on xbox
Didn't see the prototype one
Basically red oxa, blood, weather and living zone, then checked off saying YES
Next question
491 blocks ain't nothing

Is there a suppressor for the Riemann smg?
It should be a built in suppressor
Since when?
Since release
Well damn I didn't know that my bad guys
It's good
If not then the barrel attachment it has by default is a integrated sound modifer
But the only suppressor that should work is a pistol suppressor
Yea I see the suppressor tho
I had to redo my save from scratch since I missed the opportunity to explore x-18 lab on my main save
Ouchers
I still say, it's kind of a dumb decision to make the x-18 labs a missable option
Just call them gamerless without the C-Con PC set up
Indeed
It’s that day when someone invents a story in their head, nothing actually happens, and then everyone pretends they’re disappointed by something they imagined themselves
If you gaze long into the Zone, the Zone also gazes into you

Songs a bop
WE are thé 12 may, the binos lied, update is tomorrow as always
It's may 11th dude
Devs go by pacific date and time
And currently, it's night-time
Disappointed sums it all up well
Then why try to convince yourself of something that won't happen today anyway?
Never really thought there was gonna be an update today now I’ve learnt to expect little or lack of from gsc Disappointing sums up the gane
You guys know its like 9 at their czech offices and 10 at ua ones 
Plot twist: Its 5th of december
Ima give em till 12
hours
I'm following this channel for tears later
holy moly
truly reallly tears?
big wet ones
appreciate the song dude, actually a hit
Is there supposed to be an update or something?
No
Ohh it’s only cause I seen people talking about something of the sorts
engine upgrade and multiplayer update today, right?
Well, it's something like a sect that believes that something will happen today. Don't expect anything
Ah I see, thanks for the information
it's nothing sect like, it's simply a date shown in the binoculars video, that wasn't there on in-game models of the binoculars
obv they mean 12/05/2027 though 😛
December ?
that's not how dates work in any civilized part of the universe
Murica?
Mm/Dd/Yyyy
please take your deranged lunatic take on how dates should be written down out of here
I bet you people say minutes, seconds, and hours in that order as well, disgusting
Fyi, last time I played STALKER 2 I noticed they are using American date system for date showing
and I am in the UK
so much cope today
it is to spite you
spite me?
they hate you
Ohhh so it was a date on a teaser or something?
they still hate you
Regardless to me that says that STALKER 2 was intended for the western audience I guess, just saying
yhea in the april fools vid
Can I know why 
this video: #📰┃announcement message
youre a "gamer"
I am, but not a textbook gamer
it's hard to play games on a textbook....
I'd say that too, but I meant the typical definition
you have said and I quote "my life is like a videogame"
And my point is, STALKER has fallen, millions must ORB Reborn
just kidding
I do not remember that, if you can show it, go ahead
millions must OGSR
Sounds like a better idea to me
And of course this is aj oke
but mol1t aint even online so it's all a big nothingburger as usual
I dunno why but I fee lconfused
wow just as i say that mol1t comes online, the bully
Just in time lol
The bully? anything I don't know I should know?
mol1t is simply a big bully
he's rage baiter #1
I want to ping mol1t and ask about 5.5.4
Sooooo badly
NDA????
!!!!
¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
you can ping mol1t all you want he's very tightlipped 
almost as if he's paid to be tightlipped
I forgot about that
Nic nie będzie
nie słuchaj ich żeby później nie mieć rozczarowanie z głupiego powodu
do they really use the American format system?
I made it up
👏 I had a suspicion but a brief one, well played Vasim
What disapointments?
lol
mods gaslighting people again 
It came to him in a vision
Well, I am very certain I knew what I saw, on the bottom right menu corner, it was April and then the day
everyone is expecting some patch or some other miracle from heaven today
I expect stalker 3 announcement
Well yes, I expected that Binoculars would be released back then
since the binoculars shown 12/05, May 12th people saw that as
But nothing new is going on today, so it might have even meant December 12th
there will be, but probably not today
Either that or nothing specific
Stalker 3: The return of the binoculars
My point is, if it's December 12th, American dating system has been used
and my point about that is, it shows that STALKER was definetly designed for the western audience
and I joked this means STALKER is doomed
seriously, even if that is the case, I am not crusading about it
this is even worse copium
See you all on TDM later lads
xD
CANNOT WAIT
TDM?
Team Death MAtch
but on what?
Team Deathmatch bro — we getting the cope drop today!
yeah but on what though?
Ah okay
I can stand up thank you very much
god bless you
Can't wait for Duty vs Freedom round in Rostok today
i think it'd be best to just take the day as if the date spotted literally didn't mean anything.
Either that or it's December 5th
Either it was a clever hint, or casually used American date system
they still need to fix several big issues
Knowing GSC with their teasers, this does look like one, 👏 if that's the case
i love this theory
and the dlc is happening but has me worried about if it'll even be stable or not.
i'm all here for it — imagine they tried to hit this date. Then it slipped, keep quiet. Let it slip.
I am worried if they actually care for the game or not
people are just gonna be disappointed if nothing happens.
That's also a possibility
when the last update didn't even fix any of the big issues but they felt like it needed to be put out was definitely a moment of concern. they could have fixed it then but didn't.
I still don't understand why did they not patch hardbound keys
Like I want to bind something at O, when I do it still shows a PDA menu
i still can't use the side buttons on my mouse but they used to work way back when i bought the game, just stopped working after an hour or somethin.
Oh?
my mouse isn't mega fancy but it has 2 buttons on the side that i used for something and in the originals when i played those before Stalker 2 came out.
Right now what I think the devs SHOULD add is
NPC and Skif profile in interaction menus (trading, looting)
Binoculars
Removing the hardbind
making quick use keys toggle for hold for 2 and 4, allowing us to bind F2 for item 2 and F4 for item 4
I got my mouse for 3 years now, Razer Mamba Elite
but yeah, they worked just fine then didn't randomly after an hour or less and they never fixed it
served me well, if ain't broke don't fix it
it's not the mouse that is broken but the game because the mouse buttons work when i'm on a browser. i use them to either go back or forward on a browser.
I am gonna go play STALKER 2 now, curious what's up in X-18 now
Take care guys, bye
i'm gonna sit here and wait for the groundbreaking announcement today
sure hope you're not past the place in the story that disables the quest from being available for literally no good reason
I am just on the mission to find Diode
I know I am not past that
Alright then, gonna go now, bye
today is the day!
Hopium and copium at a all time high for the community it's only a matter of time before everything breaks or claims
There is neither hopium nor copium when you realise and embrace that nothing, ever, happens
I've already faced that reality unfortunately but the steam db changelogs are...odd
have faith brothers and sisters
You will not bait me into checking steam db, for I know nothing ever happens 
I'm not trying to but there has been a lot of alterations
i do think something will happen though, mods are being way too quiet
the worst part is that i know you know whether something happens, since you guys get a heads up in the moderator chat 
Nothing unfortunately but great reference
If something is happening idk about it
the doos will be open
Face with harsh reality of nothingness so disappointment won't be as harsh
i'll just hack Rahmi's account again and check the mod chat 
oh yeah veteran is very challenging, yesterday night i almost couldn't get out of the sphere initial mission bcs infinite IPSF were spawning, in the end i went to the back instead where there were just 4 and escaped, but lowk, im enjoying it more since im using my brain for things than just brainless killing
you know these steamdb updates are literally steam rehashing it's database automatically and has no bearing on what is actually going on behind the scenes
lol
Eh
I like how by the end of the game and in the Skif ending Skif becomes what Strelok thought himself to be. Someone reborn and given purpose in the Zone.
another quality mol1t ragebait 
To be fair if anything they'd probably release it near like state of play or xbox's variant
my death counter is in the 300s lmao. a lot of them are due to letting it happen or anomalies. the anomalies do so much damage without hella resistance
Master anomalies are just...
I think id rather fight a chimera than two elemental polters on master
Esp in confined spaces
i ain't ever touching Master Difficulty i feel....
The Psuedogiant is actually easier to fight than a poltergeist
The X18 polter fight is just absolute cancer lmao
Don't. It's PAIN.
Or even worse the stupid crane in the cooling towers
it's already annoying me that Snork's pounce does more than half my health even with 4 bars of physical resistance. or that giants also do more than half my health. not to mention how annoying it is that polters flying into you damages you and a lot of them you fight in tight spaces.
There are two electro polters there and I genuinely dont know how to fight them lmao
Ill clear them once I get a gauss cause doing it with a shotgun and max phys and 4 bars of electro is still hit or miss
I'm still on the disable Psi things in the swamps
Especially now that polts and buerers throw sht thru walls ... kicked my shtter even on veteran ...
Yeah plus for my Spark run (one I'm doing rn) I'm using mostly Eastern weapons since I think it fits the Spark scrappy aesthetic so I can't use a Fora and I'm barring myself from any 5.56 gun. The only other proper rifle I can use is a 9x39 but the ammo is rare af.
Oh god
Duga already took me like 12 tries on Stalker difficulty my first playthrough. I am cooked aren't I?
it's annoying me in ways that things just go through other things for so long lol...like what even are they doing
I did start Master dif run last week. Cause I finished on veteran after 560h - there are moments in the game, that I know already will probably stop me - will see
It's PAIN. The difficulty isn't even THAT bad it's the matter of you can't save
Yeah and also several places with locked door that need a key and theres polt nearby are fked - the polt just throws the key into the void, leaving the door locked forever - why do the devs let polt grab that? while tables, table lamps, radios and so on are safe? WHAT THE F?
YEP
... and now that objects pass thru walls once they throw key, its probably off map
Which is super, mega, hyper-dumb ...
Yes this is an issue in pripyat under the mall thing
They threw sausages at some bandits
Saw that happen like a couple days ago
i also never knew that i'd be mad about them throwing bodies but i am
used to
fought 2 polters in he same place not far from Duga. 1 was a fire one and the other either chemical or normal not sure. but the fire one threw the other's body at me and it had a part i hadn't carved.
what do you mean used to, they literally do it on my current save.
even the Burers will throw their bodies when i went near that farm place wherever it was.
I fought 3 polts fire, tox and electro at brainschorc --- radar station. kept my distance and just Clusterfucked them in the face from 50m
also heard that master diff has less spongy nemies ... is that placebo?
imma assume that, is not how it works
It kinda seems to be real now that I am playing it. when I survived the initial hunger that nearly killed me in zalisaya, I headshoted some bandits with the makarov. But dogs ...
Skif's pm doesn't 1 hit blind dogs iirc, not even on Veteran but i am not sure, haven't used it like that in a long time
i use a Kora as my sidearm on my run because, it will, even to the body. Kora feels good for a pistol.
I think that fully maxed one does on veteran, but I use shotguns on dogs if I can choose - it is really a shame they didnt make it bit more hardcore ranger like - or even like fallout4 survival difficulty. (same deal - saving limited (beds only) but player and NPCs make lot more damage) so If master was like that - things dying faster including player, that would be exactly what I wanted ...
I guess oportunity missed
i run the Ram-2 shotgun. it's not fast and feels weird sometimes with the double shot not quite coming out when you need it to but it has range and i think i might start bringing more slugs with me for it. but like, shooting a blind dog with it feels like overkill
i'm thinking about returning to the normal Kora because it's in .45 and .45 has HP ammo as well. does hold 2 shots less than Night Stalker does
yeahh the anomalies are insta death now mostly, apart acid and slow killing ones
we don't talk ab them, theire so powerful that not even Skif's fart could surpass them
can't you use kora for dogs? ptm's are good as well
i do i just said that
what ab rpg
Good morning
Good morning
btw i thought that S2 would crash sometimes bcs u had mods but lowk yesterday night i crashed at slag heap out of no where in vanilla -
is there any type of gun that you get happy seeing enemies use because it means you can collect that ammo?
Ak
I like using the SVD so if i see another NPC with the SVD or a variant, im a very happy man
Anything that feeds my beautiful Glutton. Ammo is expensive af for it
Anyways we have been dissapointed by GSC yet again
Bold of you to assume some random numbers meant something

Just kidding
It’s real

Fake 
bro is taking bait to a whole new level
I know you mods better than to trust anything you say!
Now i dont even know anymore
never trust anything the mods say 
Let’s burn this mf down!
Beat his ass!
i do compliment the effort though
