That lad looks terrified
i'm sure all this silence is just a lead up to an absolute banger of a patch
https://x.com/CultureCrave/status/2060130117071028454
Fact of the day:
Over 400 people worked on S2 (base game / urinated engine / war issues (but still 400 people!!))
Over 300 on TW3 (base game / inhouse engine)
Do da math yourself
#WeNeedSergaBack #KickMaxKrippaOut #ThisIsNotACasino

not going to lie
I think I care more about cyberpunk 2
it’ll probably be better than the Witcher 4
because the Witcher 4 will be their first unreal engine game they will make mistakes with optimisations and such
they already said they went to unreal engine because it’s cheaper and easier to hire devs for it
making unreal engine the basic engine that every new game developer learns at university is such a shame
they make their engine run on literal flow charts and such basic things that it makes optimisation non existent
the flaw with it is making it so easy to make a game because they try to make it so easy that they skip people learning the things they need to learn to make good optimised games instead of just relying on unreal engine to do it for them
not going to lie
I'm not as interested in games anymore as I used to so whatever happens with C2 and TW4, I'm like whatever
Rn I care what happens with S2 as I paid full price for it. If I bought it on 75% discount I wouldn't care, but 60 euro here are a lot of money for a 4th world country.
++
I understand the frustration, you and everyone here, me included, want the game to be better than what it is right, it is fair to be angry, but we also need to remember this game was developed during a war, one of the developer died, the other got his home blowed up this week, you can see where the budget went.
From what i seen some UE 5.5 games does run quite well, maybe that is what we need, the engine upgrade.
No, we need honesty the most. Honesty > all.
the frustration does not come just from waiting for update, that is fine, everyone knows the situation and war stuff... the frustration comes from selling unfished product as finished, lying about game performance not communicating enough on what is happening with updates and so on, only thing we got from December, until now is we are working on it, , it is much more than just engine upgrade
S2 has been hella slow this year
barely anything happened in full 5 months
new engine has taken over — but the amount of dead air and bugs remaining has left a bad taste in most mouths
Belivuk doing gods work!
Ainsley Harriot SPEAKS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING ELSE!
yeaa boiii
Maybe we need to push more and they'll break, the same way we did with NFTS - they tried to push them at us, community fired back and they quickly decided not to 
💯
I don't care them selling whatever, sell S2 underwear if you want, but use money to improve the game, updates, bug fixes or at least communicate about it, hey we did this or that, but noooo, let's only announce discounts, stickers, drinks and other crap, anything but what are doing with the game
thx mu Bulgarian brother
Actually its Evgeniy Grygorovych who needs to come out, hes the leader and nobody does anything without the Leader having them to.
Evga singlehandedly ruining the image of the company after it was ruined before with the temporary closure
Look what happened with Crytek
From one of the premium game devs once, now its on the edge of bankruptcy - if it wasnt CryEngine, they would have closed long ago
All cuz the Yerli brothers (Cevat & Avni Yerli, owners) started acting as asses

EVGA COME OUT AND ADMIT YOU'RE DRAGGING THE COMPANY DOWN, like a man would do, admit your mistakes, man
also add 18th Century units to Cossacks 3, you promised them in 2016

guys
whats up with stalker? devs working on something or? is been quiet for a while
Engine update and dlc
Two main things, but very little details (dlc to realase in summer)
There are some game presentations next month maybe we will see something there
Copium
if not there will be another sale and some energy drink
Yea
But I mean theres been some lore drop refarding dlc as well in the stalker x atb stuff
if we get some snippets of how game looks in new engine at SGF that would be cool
anything would be cool—leads me to think there is a huge problems in the new engine and we are about to hit a 1.0 revert
pessimist, or realist. You decide
Evgy explaining to PR department they shouldn't tell shit! 
there for sure is, as i remember engine upgrade was in 2025 roadmap right? but it got delayed for at least 6 montsh, but i believe they will xecute it in the end. push both DLC and Engine Update towards fall im fine, just dont release mess again
lad needs a hair cut and to release the files
He's hiding big brain behind that hair cut but something prevents him to unleash all that mathematical power
Evgy is a hostage to his own B(rain)-Consciousness
he looks like a mix of peanutbuttergamer and shaggy
I’ve changed my view on them since this message
What shifted it?
one more faulse hope but at least when the real stuff will be revealed the surprise will be real
surprise of 5% performance upgrade and bugged systems /s
Haircut hate is real
why is GSC so cagey now?
Wdym?
they barely communicate now
That's the only way I know them 
Given everything they're dealing with and have dealt with it's hard to communicate or announce things since you never really know whether they can actually release something or not. Especially due to the electrical fire they had a couple years back which basically forced the game to be in it's current neutered state with some lackluster mechanics compared to the old games. The seeming majority of Stalker fans being unaware on why S2 came out the way it did is also another reason. Best not to say much to avoid getting more unjust hate.
krezzin you have been talking for hours everyday about stalker 2 and GSC
I mean, they can still talk about progress without giving us dates
What I want right meow is a specific date for DLC
We are close to summer and there is no specific date for the DLC
Fandom is just gonna turn it into "LOOK AT GSC THEY ARE SO LAZY THEY ONLY DECIDED TO MAKE THESE THINGS NOW" since they have no idea what's happened and it's not even behind the scenes it's just publicly available info.
This fandom is very wholesome but also a tad slow. Overall I still love it tho
this topic is immortal
Yes, this server is the only one I actively use
I kinda was away from here but I'm back
STOCtown is the butter and I'm the parsley
STOCtown is peak
Who cares, it's still better than having nothing to talk about while being radiosilenced. Better to be angry about something instead of not caring at all
No it isn't because it really hurts their sales
WORD WORD
Yeah, sure, you are saying this about the game that was sold with 80% positive reviews on steam while having a launch similar to cyberpunk2077. Don't understand why would you defend radiosilence in general
can we get more sales for stalker games? i feel like we are lacking, just 4 sales per week seems like rookie numbers
I'd say that radiosilence can be even worse than 0 news whatsoever
Meant to put can hurt their sales mb
"better to be angry than to not care" is a HORRIBLE thing to say what do you MEAN its better???? 
its better
How?
its better to have emotions towards a game than no emotions at all, anger hides other emotions underneath, you can only get angry at something you care about, if you dont care there is no reason to be angry in the first place

surrounding yourself with hate only makes you a hateful person
anger and hate arent the same
yes but this is hate
anger =/= hate
plus it goes the same for anger anyway, surround yourself with anger and you will be nothing but an angry person
and nobody likes talking to angry people
being angry its not the same as being angry person
that isnt what i said
i feel like im talking to a toddler , having to explain basic psychology to you 
When people care about something they can get angry about it. If you don't even get angry at something bad it means you don't even care anymore and it doesn't matter to you if it'll get better. People lose the interest in the game because of the radiosilence
Who is hating here?
you mainly
How am I hating?
every single conversation you have eventually loops back into how you hate modern gsc
I have the game installed but I'm not updating it, why would I have it installed if I hate?
I don't hate modern GSC, I dislike the PR department
This
The PR department is a failure for me
are you the kind of person who covers your own ears everything people discuss? "no bad emotions please! im fragil" 
He gets it, yeah. Although there's nothing to get, it's as basic as it gets
no i just dont see the point in interacting with people that do nothing but parrot the same three angry things every day every week
you seem to be interacting alright 
If Penguan is happy with how GSC does everything overall, das okay
If Penguan doesn't like see me say the same thing over and over again, he b free to block me - use Vencord to hide the Show hidden message thing!
If GSC wants to ban me for saying their PR department is a failure, feel free to do so
If GSC wants to ban me for saying Evgy Grygorovych isn't doing better than his brother in leading the company to new heights, well, ain't my problem

I've bought very few games full price in my life and I'm here to see where S2 ends. But I'm not buying whatever comes after S2 even if its a miraculous product. Fool me once...
krezzin, relax
also same tbh, S2 was the one game i bought even in pre-order, never again 
I have preordered GSC games 2 times. The only company I ever preorder a game from.
Literally never preordered something outside of that
Never again as well
i can't really remember any game i pre-ordered before that either yeah
Yep. Respect should go both ways, if its just one way, no point of supporting something if the other end is literally neglecting you and everyone else.
If people see this as hate... point a company's bad sides... well not my problem either
did you really preorders the game twice?
GSC doesnt do answers anymore for the community, so we can see what they are working on? 
it is a while from the last one
They have never once told us what they are working on
Before they just announce it
No, Cossacks 3 was my 1st preorder, S2 my 2nd.
Cossacks 3 I bought the Deluxe Edition as well, thinking I'll get the extra stuff. We never got that . 😄
Its quite heartbreaking seeing a company neglect its fanbase this hard
I know I have a problem with loot when I have 5 shotguns, 3 MP5s, 2 AKs, a 416, and 5 pistols just to sell
But I'm at 36k moneys so it's cool
@charred nova Maybe its time to rename me to Hatezzin the Hateful?
Bro. No. Why do you want to hate? I'd rather be mostly contempt and slightly bored than be angry and hateful. Plus the only reason they hate is since they're misinformed and think GSC is lazy.
Or that's the main reason most do
Nobody thinks GSC is lazy, lmao
You're making it up rn
i said anger, not hate, hate is irrational vile feelings , anger is justified contempt.
Gatekeeping here is crazier than how it used to be
is this ragebait guys? i feel like he is ragebaiting
I've seen that argument so much. The word "lazy" doesn't come up but when you accuse the devs of refusing to fix the game, making content instead of bug fixes, and making a diet neutered game instead of a good one they could have made then it screams calling GSC lazy to me.
Wonder... if people like the game and they are in this server, seeing people dont like how marketing is handled... why even respond to the "haters" then. Keep enjoying the game...
Whoever you're talking about, thats not me
I always blamed the marketing team
they respond to "haters" because they dont like to interact with haters. 
I've been blaming the marketing team for years now
Ok poor choice of words. I mean t I saw it online not from you. Sorry I pulled an all-nighter and need to stay up so my sleep schedule isn't wrecked
dont worry, more sales are in bound to the #📰┃announcement
Yall good, yall good
If nobody else wants to remind now and then how much the marketing team sucks, LEMME DO IT FOR YOU.
Mb. I thought you meant hating.
I will be the broken record, free of charge
If you dont like how I do it, block me. Hehe. I ain't gonna go away cuz some people dont like my opinion, yo.
And yes having emotion for games is good I'm just saying that there would be anger since a lot of the fandom doesn't understand why GSC unfortunately hasn't been able to make S2 the best as possible
I don't GSC can keep going this way for years to come. Sooner or later the way communication is (mis)handled, shit will backfire. Its about time when it happens.
So whenever they hear the fandom (note: I'm talking about a large part of the fandom not all of it) developing what they think should be the bare basics without proper context they get really mad
happened when the first bit of A-life was introduced
You cant have people buy your product, you constantly blabbering about discounts, then don't actually feed em anything for months and expect they to be thankful
I don't think so. GSC has never been the best at communication I've heard and I think as long as S2 slowly gets better things will be ok. Even with little communication
@charred nova "Hatezzin the Hateful" dude... I AM DA HATEIST!
Nah, u just going full Krezzin
Ah, you silly frogster. Gimme back my Hate Staff of Wizardy
How's the crazy pills
Dude I been going full Krezzin ever since 2018. You think I'm gonna change my mind and start gatekeeping for the marketing team? SHIT NO 😄
Fvck, 8 years?!?!?! Zamn....
8 years they refuse to admit their bad strategy is WILD
It takes 1 statement to fix it all
It's because there are no news. Everybody knows that GSC answers were made to repeat what they already said in the #📰┃announcement

ask channel was always a bait
There were literally 0 proper answers, its always what GSC needed people to hear, not what people wanted tohear
i realized this way to late
ask channel was somewhat automated reply minigame
You ask something trying to break the AI reply generator but it kept working
And no, Molit isnt to blame here
Molit does more than everyone else in the PR team combined, believe it or not
Sorry McCulkin, Artemida and all
It seems that the team's effort to rewrite the game into the newer engine version is proving to be some kinda extremely challenging, at this time
Maybe they're really struggling but why hide that - it makes you look even more weak, IF THATS THE CASE.
Admit you're having challenges and just move on, everyone will be okay
But keeping everyone in complete isolation cuz why not...
Same thing happened with the delays, they kept delaying even thought they surely knew they couldn't deliver
Makes sense. Even tho I hate the lack of communication I still hope that the game will turn out alright. But it looks like the chances are low as fuсk, tbh
Yeah, it would be good to see the struggles in the long term. Even if the end result won't be anything special
Instead it'll feel like they didn't even try or something...
I mean if you were a leader of the company and you were operating your business this way, do you think hiding whats happening in the background will make you more successful than going open about it - provided its not something truly private you can't disclose if an investor is involved?
Reason: Bad word usage
Omg bro
Wolf has to be disabled at this point
how many times did it got delayed?
I don't remember exactly but I'd say least 5
damnn, probably because of bad leadership and engine switches
imo ue4 was completely ok, now days there are lots of games still that run on ue4
A delayed game will eventually be good, but a rushed game...
Who was this saying from? Nintendo guy?
eggxa
I went for 5 hours and came back, my brother in Christ and Slavic brother Krezzin is still here spreading holy word, never change mate ❤️
gnom
Lmao
I agree with that, silence is the worst form of communication.
There would be nothing shameful about saying "Hey, we as a dev team completely underestimated how difficult this transition to a new UE version would be and we definitely hyped up the whole thing too early"
True
dw modders will fix the game
Honesty will bring far more customers than discount spam messages
And you do it with only 1 message
Easiest thing ever
@dreamy dagger I will hold the banner and you will be the word of Monolith 

We play stereo in this bish
hmm im still tryna discover that secret
hmmm yk, the change that still everyone apart you mods didn't notice, of the discord server
we got witcher 3 new dlc before engine upgrade
nor sure I follow
hmmmmmmmmmmm
btw yk the challenge i talked ab, scrap it, i got smt better in mind but in too lazy to play it rn but it's way better and more hard(not tedious)
Witcher 3 maybe going to have ukr subs, 11 years after release 🥳🥳🥳🥳
67 years after release
I waited 4 thousand years
Copium, tbh
if they release the full mod kit, true modders will make the game better trust me
define better
well, I only play things in English, do not care for other languages , S2 is exception, did English and Ukrainian to compare, English was meh
Not talking ab gamma or anomaly dw
you didn't define it
better in QoL, Alife and Performance, that's all i can think off
damn, thats some shit mods
wym
by better i meant a better experience, not another type of game
I want new stories set in new maps with completely siff gameplay
4 years ago, I didn't know English well, so I played with polish dubb
No, I won't trust you 
ohh that's a very good one, wasn't Shay making one?
like new map in area etc
that's fine, the more options to choose, the better ^^
i dont know
you wanna just think that the game will die and there's no changing it? 
I'm too happy, so grateful for this 💕
@austere pagoda yo bro sorry for ping but were you the guy who planned to do like a new map area with new quests?
I think that GSC are the only ones that can make some major improvements that aren't just "unofficial bugfix" or "Alife config changes" or "Gun animations from gamebanana"
S2 is too big to be truly fixed voluntarily and without a payment
how tf u know about that
putting more trust in GSC than the community who is experiencing the problems of the game is quite bold
I pay you in jokes
muhehe, u told in chat 1y ago i think
stalkers...
yea it pretty much got stuck in my mind since i really look up to that, you think that with the full mod kit it's possible?
i already had it months ago, just other ideas atm
you had the full mod kit or the idea?
Yeah, you talked too much before and now all the things you said will follow you until you end up in the grave.. .. . . .
the idea
Just got to malachite, how much of the story is left?
20-30% im guessing, maybe, i forgor
you can go to malachite at any point of the story
you just walk there
he meant like main one quest sent him there
I meant the main story took me there
whats the quest name
Up to A Minor Incident
67 of prypriat
Oh nice, thanks
dam half? i thought less, maybe the following quests are just faster
a bit more than half but close
Is it worth buying Gen 1 NVGs or should I explore for some? I have a notion they're in a stash in some building surrounded by electric balls and a telekinetic mole man underneath
like 19th out of 36? i dont remember the exact number of all the mission
Gen 1 are everywhere bro just search, theire completely not worth buy unless you're rich
There's a handful of places to get gen 1
Ok, I was just checking. I have like 50k but I've found good gear just in the wild
20th
Like an M860 cracker near an anomaly or an OZK suit
cool, it kinda looks like the fortnite map when you're close to the Thunderstorme circle but seems great
Is this gothic 1 reference
not really, was just a test for new area
got a bit further with spawns for ai but yeah took way too much time so other priorities
a map area with 8 tornadoes would be cool
this lools like when oil spills in the ocean
can you install EU5 plugins into the sdk?
not sure, havent tested
was just a test for niagara since the blue stuff is niagara
try getting scythe in
for the overgrown grass? no world edit 🙁 hence the grass
Get Scythe 0.10: https://www.patreon.com/posts/scythe-v0-10-158281511
Scythe Editor is a level making tool that allows you to create levels right in the Unreal Editor. Scythe is only for UE 5.5+.
Don't worry, Scythe will be on Fab as a one-time fee when officially released, but for now it's available on my Patreon to help fund development and ...
#hormuz gang, spilling oil in the sky now
for map making
i have no intentions on editing new stuff top of map
yea, I assume you wanna make a new map, scythe gives you a better workflow
its based on Hammer layouts and workflows
make that after you exit the exclusion zone you can explore all Russia
you mean making a blurred or cloudy part accessible or overhauling parts of the default map and changing them?
ohh caves?
uhhhhhh Metro in Stalker??

muhehe ill remember this until the next year and surprise u again 
how i feel right now 😄
Oh my we can post GIFs and memes on here now? Since when?
Wookie bout to have a field day
oh no
i farted
we don't need more toxic anomalies in the zone stalker
it doesn't stink thoo
and how are you sure about that?
10%
:d
No, you need to sperg for thousands of posts in here before you can do that. You need to reach master rank
I was on the toilet typing this
lucky you guys
I'm not a master yet and don't even know if I ever will be. I've written like 6500 posts in here already and I'm just halfway there so yeah... Not gonna happen, I think
I think getting a master on discord would give me depression thinking about it tbh
Victory, but at what cost
It's worth it, you'll be able to post funny gifs in here
Heyo guys. I'm planning on replaying stalker 2 but the DLC should come soon-ish right? Until which point should I get to in the game to start with the dlc when it comes out?
nobody knows
Dude I went to take a dump after I read this. THE HELL?
Why are we all paying a visit to the bathroom at the same frikkin time, gawdamn
I see nobody else there too, yall at a different bathroom man
Is getting perma banned your idea of fun?
we are dump-connected my dump bro!
Krezzin did you change your name bro?
We are on Toilet Support
Mods do it all the time 
I am like mods puppet here
ahh yeah ?I had to threaten them and they changed mine back 😛
watch them change it now haha
love this movie
Honestly I don't even know what you need to say to get permabanned in here
Unless it's something prorussian or something like that
the mods here are awesome and you wont really get banned unless you either do/say something insane, or are really, really annoying to them
speak for yourself bud
😛
Okay, sleeper, we heard you loud and clear

Fellow stalkers do we know how far in the story we must be before activating the Cost Of Hope Dlc?

its best right now to start a unmodded playthrough
Perfect, I am at the Duga so I will stop till the Dlc releases.
and play till after sircaa
thanks
can i get my stylus back
not until you give me something for my troubles
i could use the stylus too if you dont give me anything
i could just keep it

what kind of pda is that
can you play something in that
kill the strelok
I realize just how lucky I am finding a liquid rock so early
I'm like 9-10 hours in, in the garbage place

I have not
tell me about luck when you get that
Need help poppy fields is killing me
Am I being mislead?

stalkmart
Should I take my svd and go straight to Pripyat
no
Yes
Ok
My SVD shall serve me well. Maybe I'll find some cool ass artifacts
I did yoink a neat scanner from a side mission (like hell I'm not stealing it from the guys stash. Atleast he doesn't have to worry about rads now)
Im going back for his artifacts too, assuming they're still there
Hot
Just got to the stalker 2 title card hooray
Ishidanfardad
whatbis that
tamtiko doesnt even respond anymo 💔
cant request mods be made - "make them yourself"
modkit unavailable in my country

Hello, StalkersI have a quick question does anyone have a playlist, or could someone share a link to the music played on the radio in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2? 🥺🥺
and since stalker changed the internal structure to .cfg.bin, i cant mod the game without the modkit now....
what retard is in charge of this?
Starting today

just get the mod kit and allat then
one of the devs shared this radio playlist a while ago https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1ypjU4VMfOktKLk3drVgT5
i found this
uh
700 gb
let me see where its avalible
its not available in my country
just make sure you have 700 gb of space
hence my rude rant
and australia
brazil
Yo yo yo
and south korea
Watup
Really cute bird
Ooooh, thank you so much for your help 
Okay, good night
:OOOOO
nini
good night
I found a scary tunnel and turned on immersive mode and it was so cool to explore
And then I found a thing that i had to toss a nade into and I found a gun called Trophy
Im ready for Pripyat
if you plan to use trophy
top 3 reasons why you shouldnt
-
horrible penetration, the gun has horrible penetration and its basically an ammo waster (theres better options) soon youll run into monolith that tank 14 9x39 bullets out of that gun from after sircaa all the way to pripyat, and trophy will not last through the end game sequence
-
it has a fixed sight which kinda makes the gun worse in a way, people use a 2x or a 4x acog for better target acquisition and allat plus it helps when shooting through thin gaps between barricades and allat
-
9x39 is weirdly a little expensive and sucks
but it is cool tho
and a actual unique..
unlike some of the reskins
That actually kinda sucks because the gun is meant to pierce armor (although it was made to pierce armor 40 ish years ago so maybe it makes sense)
How about an SVD? Or Lummoxs AKM?
Both with AP
well irl 9x39 and the gun is excellent
i mean with the svd your better off using the svu
the svu does the most damage in the game
besides the gauss
I will have to find the svu then or deal with the svd because I have it
I just need ammo for it
with the svu the stash its in requires a code
it has a pkm in it too
and like
150 7.62x54r
it kinda hard to find tho
youll find it at some point
but its all available when you leave the lesser zone
i encourage you not to search up its location..
so you can figure out and find it and be amazed
also so all the other guns dont feel like you dont need them anymore
Fair
I'm on my way to pick up some nods near Pripyat and I got a distress call in the red Forrest
That's our desperate call for honesty, but nobody beside stalkers hears it.
What
The cost of hope is hope itself
Krezzin relax
it wasnt made to pierce armor
it was made as a cost effective way of making an internally suppressed gun that used subsonic ammunition and retained some penetration
basically they put a fatter bullet on a 7.62x39 casing
the idiotic myth surrounding 9x39, 9x21, 4,6x30 and 5,7x28 that they are meant to have some sort of extraordinary penetration characteristics stems from a misunderstanding of their history and parroting the word armor penetration by everyone
all of these cartridges were meant to retain as much armor penetration as possible for different reasons however because they are either pistol calibers or subsonic their penetration remains quite low compared to even 5.56 or 5.45 because they just lack energy even if the projectiles used in them use exotic materials like tungsten carbide
Slower velocity + more mass = equivalent stopping power
How I can relax when you keep stealing my pills,my cakes, my MARS bars are also gone.Someone keeps robbing me of all my food and HOPE.
I'm going schizo
Stopping power is not even a really quantifiable thing but energy transfer to the target (which is probably what you mean) is inversely correlated with penetration if a projectile transfers a lot of energy that means it exerts less pressure on a point and has worse penetration capabilities (assuming the projectiles have the same energy)
I found a gut with guys repeating a message for help. I go in and they start shooting me and I shoot back. Then, more guys appear and I'm hearing whispers. When I kill them, they fizzle away
4.6 and 5.7 actually sacrifice energy transfer for slightly better penetration but they are designed to defeat IIIa NIJ which is basically the lowest used level of NIJ armor and any riffle caliber outperforms them
Anyway the point is that 9x39 wont be better at penetrating anything from a normal bog standard riffle supersonic cartridge if both are made out of the same materials
Yo, I keep randomly having major fps dips from 90 to 20, and there's huge input delay
In fact it will always be worse
It is
Every day a bit of hope goes away
Our hope for a better Zone soon be Gone
-queues Dust In The Wind-
The roadmap must been a lie!
False, many people still use NIJ-II armor I’d bet
PASGT flak vests and many in similar composition are NIJ-II
Hope... it isnt like dope. Can't put it on discount.
@proven hollow Can anyone delve in whats going on in this very building?
Hope, cope, dope... THE POPE MUST EXPLAIN!
This church has been invaded by shadowy figures
Yeah yeah everyone leaving me out there rotting
mars bar
mounds bar…
You soul-less cash grabs
I want to rip Kruglov’s eyes out and eat them
Which can be defeated by 9mm so no one gives a f
And no one uses it in europe/us/russia unless its just small parts of a larger system like sleeves
Tho nowadays we have 9mm that can defeat nij 3a anyway
Lets butcher the mothertrucker
You know whats funny Coffee
Yeah, let’s rip off his mask and kill him
Krug in Russian means Circle. They gave him that nickname cuz he used to walk in circles
Reason: Bad word usage
Solution to abundant armor for backline troops
Normal person: make gun that pen shorter
Cold war people: overengineer guns that cant pen to a point where they can
I don’t know bro, I just strap bombs to my IOTV and run at the enemy
That’s the best strategy for taking out armor
Leg meta
I’ll bust out the old interceptor humvee gunner armor then
I’m not letting commies get me
Why are you such a square then?
the larpers dont know
sigh
whad he do to you
Are you calling me Squareward?
I will sue you!
Sue you I will!
He’s annoying and makes me walk him around like a dog
And when he dies I have to kill myself
Thats what made S1 trilogy special, it doesn't have bugs, it isnt janky, its pure art
We dont have that in S2 cuz of Urinated Engine
Isnt janky ?
But it does have atmosphere
Why are you here then lmao
Because I hate myself
Ahh ok good
How bad is the second game actually? I’m still just on SOC and am curious.
Its uhh different
More bugged and unfinished but also better gameplay wise because they introduced armor gun mods, repair and better artifact hunting
Ooh interesting
Is it still super bullet spongy?
That’s my main gripe so far is just how much of a sponge fest it is with average human enemies
I found a kahrod
Its bulletspongy
And enemies still hit you through walls
Well that part is cool
Reason: Bad word usage
I will strangle wolf with my bare hands
Then I'll make a whole shishkebab of him, head included!
Aint gonna spare a piece of this mothertrucker
Spicy Wolf Kebab
I'm close to Pripyat

its locked off until the final stages of the game
my first time was the same way..
I could have been warned hours ago
me and you
It's 6am, and I just wanted to go to Pripyat
BRO I THOUGHT YOU KNEWWW
i thought it was common ball knowledge cause its the most biggest frustration, i even saw it on the from page of google news
3/4s of pripyat is cut from the game
too many barriers
amd its locked off
thats like one of the hugest complaints and leads to people saying something like “these devs are shitty and retarded, if i were to create a game i wouldnt lock off an area” or something like that
I am 500 meters from Pripyat
And I have to go all the way back the garbage
you could just go to a neighboring base
and use a guide
Atleast I'm leaving with a kharod and nods
No. I walk the zone
i see someone did the dam stash
Yes, but, I explored the helicopter yard first
can i tell you a fun anomaly fact
I think you needed to read the sign and use the first 4 letter to match them to truck plates in the yard and then you get the code
Yeah
do you know this anomaly right here
Evil lightning ball
Yes. I found evil fire ball in Rostov
it follows you around if you have any artifacts equipped
infact if you drop them on the floor
they will eat them
i lost a compass testing that
So they're just hungry
How good is compass
so it doesnt follow you around
Virgin stalker equipping artifacts
i love moddb
Just sell them
on higher difficulty it prevents all grav anomalies from instakilling you
generally speaking tho it reduces bullet damage or any physical damage plus grav anomaly damage
Ooooh
cause grav anomaly damage falls under physical damage
I would like to pair that with my liquid rock
Evil suck orb
you should only sell if you are low on equipment, if you got an ft-2000m and are selling your artifacts you are just plain stupid
yup
Very very evil
he sucks alright
me when repairs and ammo
I’m just rolling plain, artifacts are useless to me
Maybe it’s just because I haven’t reached Pripyat, but I’ve found literally zero worth keeping
Whats an ft2000m
I just have an AK-74 (PSO)
i get what you mean, they are also lowkey useless for me, but the compass arti from CS is pretty damn good
+36 endurance
FN-2000
All the guns in the original are just modified in name
Ooooohh
of course ours looks different
thats cause the model is from gsc’s actual oblivion lost
not mod slop
damn gun companies and their copyrights....
the actual mayan alien game
I have a liquid rock, an electrict artifact (gives max endurance), and a flytrap
that looks like a shitty halo
I wonder if devs could use military service as assurance they know how to properly portray firearms
It was honestly a great 3-5 hours traveling the zone to try to enter pripyat
I died like 60 times, mostly from anomolies
I’m bogged down in red forest
Fighting monolith
The Red Forrest is one big psy op
one would try talking to them
Talking?
hhue hue get it psy psy psy op hsha get it guys right guys gaha im sooo funny
Reason: Bad word usage
now that i think about it... yeah they could since ukraine got all the weapons that are in the game (AK,Abakan,g36,fn2000, etc)
they are lifeless husks that the ccon uses to protect itself,
if anyone tells you or if anything shows you them being a joinable faction, thats false, thats gamma slop
I just spent 4ish hours going trough the zone, with some of my biggest challenges being in the red forrest. I get to joke about my schizophrenia
the monolith are NOT joinable unless you get absolutely psi fried
Dont they have like exo suits and high end guns? Or are they teh zombies
I absolutely adore the way they look tho
Wait, I might have ran into them south of the dam
there is this mod for COP called road to pripyat
They are friendly to zombies and do carry super good guns
well ya they have all that still but they are just a hive mind or something
something like that
And they also have sniper posts set up along the road you are to travel into Pripyat
Ill watch a lore video on it later
I have been up since 9am yesterday and its 6am (I stayed up to make it to pripyat)
the only times the monolith would be joinable tho would be when the faction was filled with actual consciously present cultists, and or after the ccon was destroyed and allat and when they were like ooo speak to me mr monolith sadly in cop
and the pre sircaa guys
not noon tiders but they guys who still glazed the monolith
I gotta ask, since most stalker fans do… do any of you have gas masks?
noo
i have 0 stalker related things
Oof
I meant like real gas masks…
i dont got any of those either
Many people buy up GP-5s for stalker cosplay
It’s funny since it’s a civvie mask
though i enjoy a pmg 1
I'm thinking about putting the kharod in my stash until I should actually have one
oh no its called WAY to pripyat and its got this cool as cover art which i cant send because i dont ahve embed perms
Pull out a g36 or Loyalty instead
(Send in offtopic)
well its kewl and useful
ok
I know but it's so strong and I shouldn't technically have it
i could send it in if you dm me the pic
yes
I think I'm on like mission 4 or something idk I have to look through dig sites
I just like being one with the zone
did you see it
Gonna start a whole new modded save on the hardest difficulty just to remove the main story and thrive
@knotty talon @worldly lion
it gets boring
I already saw it….
thanks
Also, Gorkas suck
Maybe I just need to try gamma and make my own story
dude ive already been through this THEY DONT SUCK, YOUR JUST USING ONE IN THE MOST ASS BACKWARDS ENVIRONMENT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FORRRRR
its like using a puffer jacket..
NEXT TO A VOLCANO
They were developed for use in Afghanistan
I live in a mountainous desert, so why does it suck?
Yo frick puffer jackets they have always sucked for me
in colder environments, you said it was HOT were you are
Like why would you use that instead of something better like a cloak or even a hoodie stacked under a coat
What?
L, Russian uniforms suck
the gorkas arent supposed to be used in a desert
Gonna light mine on fire
you cant say something sucks if your not using it how its supposed to be used bro, thats like buying a car and saying it sucks because you only took pictures with it
Every puffer jacket I have ever used sucked at keeping me warm. My beautiful cloak I have and a hoodie-coat combo did better
Cloak? Are you bat man?
No
on the side of normal gorkas theres also even more winterized versions to better protect yourself from extreme colds
like more extreme
It's big and has faux fur on the inside making it super warms and it's water and wind resistant so you don't worry about those
I’ve never seen any Gorka that deviates from a design pattern
It's an awesome piece of clothing
It’s either the 3 or 4 with some minor changes… I’ve never heard of a winterized version
Interesting….
Reminds me a little of my N-3B in description
It was like $200 but it's so worth because I love my cloak I've always wanted one
a gorka 5 is more tacticalized and allat and it has better moisture protection and has more padding, its also more durable
that the others
The gorka 5 really doesn’t exist…
Checkout Knights Weave to see what I'm talking about
It’s a Chinese thing dude
I’ll have to look it up
I need to sleep
its used by the ukrainian army bro
there are gorka lookalikes for hot weather tho
Combat Arsenal?
well no, not just that, you can see them being worn, you can get them from ebay too, both sides actually do use them, ukrainian manufacturers just make them in the ukrainian camo patterns
Can you send me some pics of it in use?
I’ve only seen them manufactured by the Chinese and sold by Ukrainians who bought them from ali
(If they’re even actually Ukrainian)
Cease this senseless licking at once you fools!
I saw cupcake I got hungry
hi tired!!
hello!!!!!!!
oigh
i want it
I do too but cupcakes aren’t common here anymore
why not
it’s usually just slices of cake idk supermarkets don’t sell cupcakes
lmao
Honse
Depends on your aim
And luck with accuracy
Yes they do most of them are either outdated or copied from elsewhere
I have a modern picture of two FSB A operators next to eachother one wears crye the other UF PRO
even they know their products suck
As for gorkas they are basically a portable tent sewn into the shape of clothing it is abysmal compared to nylon rainwear with PTFE membranes
But also costs nothing hence why they are beloved by larpers it is literally just thick cotton canvas
you're the kind of guy who is lactose intolerant
Mans found the loophole!
MFG x4, x6 does not work. I changed it through the nvidia app.
try the PKM with x16 scope
Daddy chill
yea
Shut up, Father Karamazov
Went back into the swamp for the stashs and man. Makes me sad seeing the old clear sky base all abandoned
Not to mention that damn fog
There had to be at least like 4 different groups of mutants just jumping each other 😂
Much like the game
/s
I'll be honest, game is fine jus seems like a bunch of crying
It is what it is I presume
Give a mouse a cookie, he's gonna want some milk
Yall want a busted UE5 game? Look at Lords of the Fallen on launch 
no sales today?
what a grim day
GSC marketing. Instead of climbing up, they go down.
Maybe they afraid of heights!
omg 😭 i remember i tried lords of the fallen cause it was on gamepass and it was the worst experience ive ever had
Miles better now but yeah
Still jank 
Truthfully I don’t think any soulslike has ever come out that doesn’t have jank
elden ring was great off launch
the multiplayer was more broken then a window hit with a sledgehammer
Elden Sting
Elden Ping: Shadow of the Retardtree
Elden Swing: Grandma on Fentanyl
i love stalking
i love being stalked
its really hard telling people my fav game is stalker
They think i stalk people.
i dont got the gabbaghouls to say that one of my favorites is stalker so i just whip another franchise im into out

Gollum game
Nvm I guess that was unreal 4
My fav game isnt STALKER
Our favorite game is Hopium: Extract of Cope
Hey, just a heads-up for anyone with a Newegg account that has a card saved to it to keep an eye out for fraud. This past Wednesday night, I got a random charge/pre-auth for $.00 and apparently so have several other people. No signs of account compromise, no recent suspicious orders on my account, etc.
Very strange.
Reason: Bad word usage
Are you sure that was UE4? I swear I always read/heard it was on UE5.
Das wat you get by buying from a place called EGG

Just a random thought but
The Marked One being Strelok is probably still my favourite twist in gaming after all these years
I STILL get a feeling a mystery when I see "Kill Strelok" even though I played the game like a hundred times over
Marked One doesnt exist
He was never the one, bad storytelling there
The One was always Jet Li!
The One is a 2001 American science fiction action film directed by James Wong, and written by Wong and Glen Morgan. It stars Jet Li, Delroy Lindo, Carla Gugino, and Jason Statham, with action choreography by Corey Yuen. The film, which deals with the concept of multiverses and interdimensional travel, follows Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li), a rogue agen...
I'm not familiar with the The One IP featuring Jet Li from the The One series.
Is he marked?
Does he manage to kill the Strelok?
The Strelok can't be killed nor can be loked
Стрелка is more than homo sapiens
СТРЕЛКА IS ПЕАК
Feel me?
Wikipedia says ue4 for gollum game
Anyone know how to move your camera faster bc the max sensitivity in game is too slow to keep up with like half of the enemies
you gatta be jokin mate
can someone help im trying to get hilka detector but the guys at the bar arent talking so i cant start the quest
erm what quest are you trying to start
budmo!
i was gonna steal hilka im 20 main quests in with zero artifacts i didnt know how to get them
😭
is hilka good?
you should just be able to talk to them tho
idk it wasnt working
is the quest marker on the map
no
no i was confused it wasnt there
Which one do you think is the best
well the veles is obviously the best
After this quest I do I’m gonna search for artifacts I’ve never done it
How does it work and is it hard to get
Wait are those late game
Hilka is actually good to detect from longer distances
you can purchase it
Yeah I saw this
thats the only actual good thing though
So should I get bear or the other one you said
its basically just the detector you get at the start
just with numbers
and a longer range
youll still be confused walking around in circles
and then when the artifact jumps away
thats more time running around in circles trying to see if the number goes down or not
its really an ass detector
yup
it shows where its direction is
and how close you are too it
Do I need to press a button to use the detector or does it reveal the artifact automatically when I find it
its basically a veles without a map
artifacts reveal themselves automatically
Ok thanks
no matter what detector
Is the ability to buy the bear detector locked behind anything
I thought The One was Neo from The Matrix?
no
only the veles is locked
@ashen stone you can find it by doing uninvited guests
which i think you also get a unique fora
or you can buy one from hawaiian at yaniv
I'm jorking with you
those are your 2 options
'RONG
why do you jork with people
