Every STALKER 2 dude when 2.0 comes and the game is a hot hell of a mess

undone heron
#

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

dreamy dagger
#

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.

From what i seen some UE 5.5 games does run quite well, maybe that is what we need, the engine upgrade.

dreamy dagger
#

No, we need honesty the most. Honesty > all.

deft plume
#

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

#

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

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

That's the only way I know them dog

old aurora
# iron wind they barely communicate now

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.

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...

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.

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

slow hull
#

What do you need to tell me

#

I'm ready :D

main jewel
# slow hull What do you need to tell me

if you plan to use trophy
top 3 reasons why you shouldnt

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 9x39 is weirdly a little expensive and sucks

#

but it is cool tho

#

and a actual unique..

#

unlike some of the reskins

slow hull
#

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

main jewel
main jewel
#

the svu does the most damage in the game

#

besides the gauss

slow hull
#

I will have to find the svu then or deal with the svd because I have it

#

I just need ammo for it

main jewel
#

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

What

dreamy dagger
#

The cost of hope is hope itself

dusky pawn
#

Krezzin relax

dusky pawn
#

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.

slow hull
#

I'm going schizo

dusky pawn
# astral otter Slower velocity + more mass = equivalent stopping power

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)

slow hull

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

Second game isnt bad

Its rather unfinished

Its uhh different

More bugged and unfinished but also better gameplay wise because they introduced armor gun mods, repair and better artifact hunting

Is it still super bullet spongy?

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

it follows you around if you have any artifacts equipped

infact if you drop them on the floor

they will eat 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

slow hull

cause grav anomaly damage falls under physical damage

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

on the side of normal gorkas theres also even more winterized versions to better protect yourself from extreme colds

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

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

no matter what detector
