[north cape]

Idk even what it is, just nonsense morse

[glossy blade]

[buoyant mauve]

[pseudo rivet]

Pretty sure it's RNG as heck, my dude

[glossy blade]

[worthy lagoon]

[limpid salmon]

[north cape]

Lol

[stark steppe]

Can i get signed mod merch

[north cape]

Scammed of an artifact

[limpid salmon]

[pseudo rivet]

@limpid salmon
Yeah bro, Mol1t stole your artifact. He is an Artifact Robber, after all

[north cape]

You get a 25% sale on the old ones

[glossy blade]

No it's you

[north cape]

Edillon is apparently a bandit after all

[solid dome]

For the base game only

[limpid salmon]

[north cape]

Oh no

X on that, I've got Romanian counterspies

[nimble spruce]

[north cape]

[north cape]

[rotund fox]

I hope the S2 gameplay trailer is just footage of 6 hours of the CS base in S2 👍

[pseudo rivet]

I can take over if you want

[hazy helm]

Crimson mod again?count me in

[north cape]

Its just an hour long live wallpaper

[marsh dome]

tomorrow, the return of scar at last

[pseudo rivet]

[limpid salmon]

imagine being able to switch between marked one, scar and Degtyarev like in gta 5

[marsh dome]

Skiff is the child of Scar

[rotund fox]

wolfstalker return of scar stream incident.mp4

[nimble spruce]

well scar is random monolith soldier #2137 by the time CoP starts

so that would be pretty cool i guess

[limpid salmon]

is he?

[amber wind]

He is

[worthy lagoon]

Skif is ||the child between Scar and Strelok, the uncles are Degtyarev and Lebedev||

[north cape]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[amber wind]

Scar get killed call of pripat real ??!!!! (staker theory)

[nimble spruce]

i wonder who is the bowlcut guy who talks on the roof near the CNPP in the old trailer

[north cape]

Dam epic embed

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, seen how we know what happens to Death Trucks, he's either hella dead or doesn't even remember who he is

But the chance of him being alive would virtually be zero

[north cape]

Ghost in S2 pls

[nimble spruce]

imagine trying to stop strelok only to be killed by him in Radar in 2012

[north cape]

[pseudo rivet]

Would be hard, seen how he's dead in SoC

[marsh dome]

Scar never left the plant, the ghost of Chornobyl

[north cape]

Lol

[pseudo rivet]

Schrodinger's Scar

[amber wind]

Schrödinger’s Ghost

[pseudo rivet]

NDA

[north cape]

[dry imp]

im ghost

mw2 (2009)

[pseudo rivet]

Tampico's dead, I guess

[nimble spruce]

as we know C-Con is prone to mistakes, so maybe they turned Scar into a femboy instead of brainwashing him, i mean idk but it's possible!

[pseudo rivet]

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

[amber wind]

Ghost is neither dead or alive until we open the lab and find out

[marsh dome]

[amber wind]

The entire Ukrainian specops vs one dude in a suit of literal plastic

[pseudo rivet]

The entire Ukrainian special forces + Monolith forces VS. one person with a knife and a sweater made by Mama herself

[hazy helm]

The Schrödinger Scar lives on

[finite dragon]

Do you reckon Stalker 2 will release December 2023? Or earlier, like in Summer or Autumn?

[limpid salmon]

december

[pseudo rivet]

Whenever it comes out

[hazy helm]

February 2024

[pseudo rivet]

Would be a nice birthday gift

[finite dragon]

Somewhat optimistic now I think about it. We could be looking at late 2024.

[hazy helm]

next you know it,2027 release

[worthy lagoon]

My bday is 22th of February

[pseudo rivet]

See you in 2032, nerd

[limpid salmon]

Like just the wolf?

[marsh dome]

On the trailer of tomorrow, it is still specified for 2023

[limpid salmon]

[marsh dome]

[limpid salmon]

[finite dragon]

Possibly, I'll have a look

[finite dragon]

Wont be so effective now that you told me

[limpid salmon]

[finite dragon]

I'll put you on the autistic spectrum, you can't avoid that.

[cerulean ibex]

What is 21:00 EET by Eastern Standard Time?

[north cape]

Im carrying a 30mm hotchkiss pistol

[limpid salmon]

[finite dragon]

There's this lovely thing called the internet that can answer that.

[limpid salmon]

[north cape]

💀

[limpid salmon]

I have a dwarf controller in my backpack

[north cape]

Youre a dwarf yourself

[limpid salmon]

cant even spell dwarf eh? guess he is doing his job

[balmy hound]

New Year's Eve, you can't get a better date for a Stalker 2 trailer

[timid trail]

Yes

[teal osprey]

guys i just realized

today is 28 of december💀

im just hoping this is not a joke from the devs

[north cape]

Drsldn

[cerulean ibex]

Alas me asking time on the internet gives me sarcasm as response

[north cape]

In the end it just starts a second countdown for the release

48 hours

[balmy hound]

I can't read in minds, but I don't think they want to joke right now. More to make 2023 victorious and glorious

[solid dome]

Propaganda ridden gameplay trailer you say?

[balmy hound]

Perhaps, or maybe they want to show a bit in advance so that the trailer can be spread over the web.

[north cape]

Ehhhh

[balmy hound]

It's week-end soon.

[timid trail]

How much is the trailer duration

[solid dome]

How do you expect us to know?

A trailer usually lasts 60 to 120 seconds

[marsh dome]

Close-up on Sidoro at 0.32

[limpid salmon]

its on?

[north violet]

I'm sure this has been answered before, but why is it Chornobyl now instead of Chernobyl like it was in the past?

[still ridge]

Nah I bet it’s gonna be a couple minutes

[north cape]

Gameplayes tend to be like 8 minutes

Still. If i dont see an AK or an As Val, im gonna cry

[hazy helm]

Chornobyl is the Ukrainian Pronunciation,they changed it in the starting month of the war

[north violet]

Ahhh gotcha.

[wraith bluff]

2pm EST

[cerulean ibex]

Thank you

[balmy hound]

Perhaps it could be something like an overall introduction to the game, so that newcomers can be welcome in the game.

[solid dome]

STALKER: Heart of Blackbyl - Nimble on the Run, coming to Netflip in 2024 as five episode mini series. (HBO can suck it)

Newcomers introduction has to be Anomaly

[limpid salmon]

newcoomers

[balmy hound]

Nah 😉

[solid dome]

It's what everyone new to the franchise will tell you, they found out about STALKER in a Twitch or Youtube stream broadcasting Anomaly

Sad but true

[balmy hound]

Yep, I way prefer the canonical game.

[solid dome]

I'm sad when I say it, every time... My soul turns upside down.

Anomaly's so glorified it makes me sick, sick to the bone

[balmy hound]

It has some very good sides, but it's more like an addition after playing the real game.

[solid dome]

With the Old World Addon, yeah, without it it's nothing but a polished Soup mod

[balmy hound]

Don't know that one.

[solid dome]

It removes stuff Stalker never needed

The huge amount of items with descriptions longer than a page, crafting

Thank god to whoever made that addon

@balmy hound Are you legend for real?

[balmy hound]

Yeah it was too complex for some parts.

You tell me. 🙂

[solid dome]

And why did the chat die so fast?

Let's find a way to leak the trailer so people have time to celebrate New Year properly without staying in Discord for hours on end

[balmy hound]

It will probably be shown tomorrow, and I prefer to enjoy that with you guys on Discord !

[solid dome]

What a legend

True chad

[balmy hound]

The legend actually has nothing planned on New Year's Eve

[solid dome]

Most chad person, absolute madman and homie

He legend, boys

[solid dome]

Same, sitting at home cuz I don't find anything special on NYE

A day like any other

[balmy hound]

Let's be honest, I think a lot of people are going to be in our situations

[balmy hound]

Yep

[solid dome]

Except some people prefer to get drunk for... nothing

[limpid salmon]

opinions on dayz?

[solid dome]

What an useless world

[solid dome]

DayZ. Opinion here. I prefer Project Zomboid.

[solid dome]

More thn 2 minutes? Yeah with the outro and the preorder part, give or take, 3 mins tops

[balmy hound]

It's not the length which is most important, it's the feeling. That 20-30 seconds teasing on New Year's Eve in 2020 was astonishing.

No sexual metaphor intended.

[solid dome]

Actually I don't remember how the trailers for SoC, CS and/or CoP looked

I can't say I've ever been impressed by the trailer editing for anything GSC-related

[balmy hound]

Pretty cheap actually from what I saw, the situation is not the same at all.

I knew the critics were awesome back then, but I only started to try Stalker around 2012. Before that I was thinking "it's just a classic FPS"

[north cape]

Yea prolly

[solid dome]

Ever played any otherRussian/Ukrainian game before, @balmy hound ?

[balmy hound]

Not that I can remember of @solid dome

[solid dome]

Okie

[balmy hound]

My PC is very old, so I couldn't make that Lovecraft game I can't remember the name.

[limpid salmon]

minecraft

[balmy hound]

Oh I made the first Metro long ago, but I didn't enjoy the franchise very much.

The Sinking City (the ukrainian game)

[solid dome]

Old, how old?

5-10-15-20 years old?

[balmy hound]

I can't remember, I don't even have the bills anymore haha. My PC is a bit less powerful than a PS3.

I bought it for GTA IV back then.

[solid dome]

Holy 🐍 s

[balmy hound]

The good news is that it's still working, but it's clearly time for a new one 🙂

[solid dome]

You need to make bank quickly before Stalker 3 comes out

[balmy hound]

Yeah I know haha. I'll buy piece by piece the new PC.

[sand condor]

could there be a release date

[north cape]

Yes'nt

[sand condor]

if so i hope its sooner rather then later

[balmy hound]

Not yet, perhaps with the trailer tomorrow or later in january/february with the Microsoft event.

[sand condor]

i wont be buying stalker 2 since its in gamepass

[solid dome]

Isn't Gamepass for MStore only?

[sand condor]

xbox ecosystem yes

i would forse gamepass being on steam but i possibly dont expect it

since ea games are included on steam

[dry imp]

no

[solid dome]

Excuse me I don't know how Gamepass really works, so if you buy it, can you refund the 1 dollar spent?

[dry imp]

what

[dry imp]

ea games are also on the gamepass

[sand condor]

both pc and ultimate subs

[dry imp]

i think only for ultimate

[sand condor]

gamepass isn't included with ea games

only pc pass or ultimate

sonys and ubisoft sub is a mess

[solid dome]

You spend the 1 dollar on the Gamepass, you don't like the content, can you refund the spent money?

[sand condor]

certain games are locked to higher tier

why would you spend a dollar on a sub when you plan to refund

[quaint seal]

Can't wait for the new trailer, i'm so happy

[sand condor]

who here gas gamepass

has*

[quaint seal]

i do

[solid dome]

One dollar makes a difference, pal

[sand condor]

at that point i wouldnt spend it

i hope the contents more finalized

[solid dome]

Well if it's a subscription plan, company who offers the experience has to offer refund per the laws, no?

If you don't like the service... get your money back, rite?

[sand condor]

read tos

before making assumptions

[solid dome]

Can't you TLDR?

I'm on a 2008-grade laptop

Anyways

[sand condor]

nobody has no idea what system your onnand thats clearly not true

[solid dome]

Everyone here knows though

Anyways... hardware wasn't the point and I asked a simple question

[gilded sentinel]

I don’t

[solid dome]

Lemme screenshot then

[wide aspen]

Back ona mission!

[solid dome]

Back on a mission, baby, we are on a solid mission

[wide aspen]

i only slept for 4 hours, couldnt sleep more

[solid dome]

6 am challenge again

Slept 8 hours in total

[wide aspen]

lucky you

[solid dome]

Could afford it this one time

[wide aspen]

i did 6 hours total

[potent bluff]

Can't wait for the new trailer to drop 😱

[digital fern]

guys lets hope for the best in trailer

[burnt surge]

i feel like, the best possible thing to happen, is that, both freedom and duty are extinct due to their fighting

[dusk pilot]

i hope that in the trailer will be the relase date

[hazy helm]

youre having a laugh love

[elder fiber]

ofc a monolithian would want that

but no i hope theres a ceasefire like the one in jupiter

[north cape]

It just ends to: Release 24.8.2023

[granite coral]

I think we'll see the game on April 24th

[hazy helm]

sure sure,of 2026

[burnt surge]

it would make for an interesting thing

[granite coral]

Nope I mean 24th April 2023

[elder fiber]

didnt they already say dec 2023

[granite coral]

it is just placeholder on Steam

[hazy helm]

youre having a gaff

it's at least 2024

hopefully

[granite coral]

we'll see

Just wait for the trailer tomorrow and see

I mean in 19 hours

[hazy helm]

Im not trusting someone with hardcore stalker in their names,Im a good boy

[north cape]

Add a 2 on that to make sure its polished before release

F it just release it on another decade

[granite coral]

Ok

The time is late in here and I couldn't sleep lol

Need to wait for more 19 hours 😃

I need more vodka

[carmine crest]

I'm a hardcore stalker myself

[north cape]

Have fun waiting a decade for the release

[tiny olive]

Damn, Wish granter calling us before the year ends huh.

[solid dome]

Fingers crossed, pal

[solid dome]

Prove it

Stay awake till the countdown hits 0 and fall asleep once the trailer kicks in

[unkempt canyon]

[digital fern]

Ive been playing this game since i was 2

i still got photos in my home country

[solid dome]

Woah what

[digital fern]

yes

[carmine crest]

I'm not hardcore enough for this

[digital fern]

i was playing with my dad, or i was looking at him playing

he still plays sometimes

his favourite stalker is soc

[solid dome]

To stay awake?

[carmine crest]

18 hours is a long time :(

[solid dome]

Nope

@wide aspen went on for 24. I did what, 16-7 or so, yesterday

If you are on a mission, you stay till the end.

[wide aspen]

you never pause the mission, the mission gotta be completed

[solid dome]

You stand correct

[finite dragon]

good evening.

[solid dome]

Should you pause the mission, you lose progress

No quicksaves allowed

[unkempt canyon]

i think if you sleep those 18 hours you can watch the trailer "Sooner" if you know what i mean. that might be more hardcore cuz you cant wait to watch it. Do I have a point? :3

[solid dome]

You'll miss something if you sleep

[carmine crest]

I will make myself comfy and cozy in my little bed in a few hours and wake up on time :)

[unkempt canyon]

f5

[solid dome]

Blink and its gone

**F5 disabled for the remainder of the mission. **

[unkempt canyon]

i wonder what Stalker2 will have for the "f5 option"

[finite dragon]

suffers in STALKER

[unkempt canyon]

kill, f5 , kill, f5 , kill f5 ,dies, last save ...

[solid dome]

Immaculatus was Lost To The Zone

[unkempt canyon]

[finite dragon]

[solid dome]

...kill...F5 during bad moment - LOSE EVERYTHING

[unkempt canyon]

zidurovikzch will have to take 500000 rubles from you beecuz u dies

the zone won against you and you lost to the zone

[unkempt canyon]

[solid dome]

Lots of new faces here in the past few days, wot happening

[unkempt canyon]

1hp situations and you have to spend 1 day of your life just to get out of that bad moment

[finite dragon]

I really don't know what happend...

what is your favorite faction?

[unkempt canyon]

i had another account but created this one

[solid dome]

I like to be independent and hear no megaphones screaming in my ears

Indepence over everything

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

cool but if alone... more threats
like that fat one sidorovich

[unkempt canyon]

idk... smookin' weed at the army warehouses, listening to propaganda at rostok, dealing with mazes as scar, rotating heaD aS MOOONOOLITAAAAA... i like WARD :3

might be good in S2 idk

[finite dragon]

so you are a loner too?

[solid dome]

If alone you have more options

[finite dragon]

true but not so much to shoot... or not?

[solid dome]

Ask @obtuse crag when he cleared Garbage all by himself from the bandits

[unkempt canyon]

[unkempt canyon]

I'm Seedoorovitsh

[finite dragon]

for a loner the best location for a fun shootout is in SoC the dark vally base.

[unkempt canyon]

dood he cleaned all that garbage!!?? big man

garbage no more

[finite dragon]

garbage still but bandito-dorito no more.

[solid dome]

True master of his craft

[unkempt canyon]

have memories of me climbing those hills of radiation for fun xd aaaaaaaa kill me

[hazy helm]

@solid domewould playing Opus Magnum be a good way to spend the time awake instead of sleeping waiting for the trailer?

[finite dragon]

I am still going to shoot loners because Major Kuznetsov told me so.

[unkempt canyon]

the radio that sweet music radio song hear sound waves from that location. TURURUTU TURURUTU TURURUTU TU TU TURURUTUTUUU

[finite dragon]

radio is not gone.

[unkempt canyon]

bcz radio song not garbage

radio song gud

[finite dragon]

yes
Loads SVT-40
now I wanna hunt some loners or people from clear sky.

[solid dome]

Cleans his RPMmG-700

700 PMm rounds per minute. Chaos ensues.

[unkempt canyon]

go hunt mootants, and deliver the parts to the garbage guy in the center. was doing that when i first installed anomaly

[finite dragon]

no I don't like mutant hunting...
I am just going to hunt people in the great swamp.

[unkempt canyon]

yeah shoot that tower thingy and have rounds falling from the sky

[solid dome]

He on to destroy the cricket community

[limpid salmon]

Dayz is ass

[finite dragon]

yesz

[unkempt canyon]

[solid dome]

He has master plan to take down every possible Cricket, HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE DAMAGE IS DONE @finite dragon

[unkempt canyon]

u ees az

[solid dome]

Immaculatus, Enemy of the state

Sheesh

[finite dragon]

I am from Military...
I just love to shoot people from clear sky or loners that kill ecologists.

with a SVT-40

[limpid salmon]

omw to raid a whole military camp by myself (ak74/2 with scope and enough ammo)

[hazy helm]

how did you get a SVT huh my guy

[unkempt canyon]

stalker 2 trailer "5,1k likes / 0 dislikes" ok

[finite dragon]

killed a ecologist traitor.

[polar fern]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa

[hazy helm]

that's extra considering what the SVT is
its extra dumb to be in the hands of an ecologists
even more dumb taht you found such an ecologist outside

[unkempt canyon]

no one has seen it and has better ratings than youtube rewind

[hazy helm]

be truthfull,you raided a museum didnt you

thief

[finite dragon]

like I said... a Ecologist Traitor, he was a Loner in disguise.

[unkempt canyon]

hmmmm

i think he is the disguised one

[hazy helm]

thats impossible
ecologists dont wander outside much to begin with,the eggheads stay in their bunkers and cower in fear,and there is no way a loner could disguise themselves as a ecog
no one would believe it

[unkempt canyon]

(: kill him : )

[finite dragon]

well that was what Major Kuznetsov said... so I did it and looted the body.

[timber salmon]

I've been playing Zero sievert a bit. That game is stalker as all hell.

[hazy helm]

youre story is faulty
youre a spy arent you

[hazy helm]

Zero Sievert was p bad tbh
and Im getting quite tired of games that think stalker is a simple "vibe"

[unkempt canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-tf2-spy-x-family-spy-bruh-bruh-moment-gif-25527210

E S hee iz

[potent bluff]

It's just top down EFT, I don't feel any STALKER vibe in it at all :/

[hazy helm]

based as all hell BLIN

[unkempt canyon]

blin was watching!!!

[timber salmon]

well it has anomalies, multiple factions, radiation and a powerplant that exploded. But yeah it is more 2d EFT than stalker.

[potent bluff]

Still a good game tho

[finite dragon]

I am not a spy
a loner killed a ecologist with armor (maybe a merc IDK) then he put it on a said he was a fellow ecologist and then Major Kuznetsov asked me to kill the traitor and so I did it and he had a SVT-40 and a radiation patch.
I am not a spy

[hazy helm]

ecologists arent a faction
ecologists dont go out
ecologists dont have specific armour

[potent bluff]

Im watching everyone

[finite dragon]

they do in CoP and Anomaly.

[hazy helm]

I hereby grant you title of traitor IMACULATUS for killing a stalker for no reason

[finite dragon]

my guy... I am from the military my kill count is like 666.

[limpid salmon]

rookie numbers

[hazy helm]

no,that is straight up wrong,if you mean taking measurements?then they'd have a squad with them,your story doesnt,they dont wander around as well,they arent stalkers,theyre scientists,and Ecologists use generic SSP suits,they dont have a faction,bc they arent one

[unkempt canyon]

will rotate torso 'till I sleep as moonolita so the wish granter grants me the wish of a good stalker 2 trailer tomorrow o7 have a nice one guys!!! ❤️

[hazy helm]

and Anomaly isnt lore accurate

[finite dragon]

in my current playthrough.

[hazy helm]

its so lore innacurate

[timber salmon]

does anomaly have lore ?

[hazy helm]

which makes you a RENEGADE my siR!

[solid dome]

@finite dragon INNACULATUS?

[nimble cipher]

Krezzin#7223 has been warned

Reason: Capital letters

[limpid salmon]

must shoot renegades on sight

[carmine crest]

It'd be really nice if anomaly had some decent effing missions for the factions, there's like 0 reason to play any other faction. it might just have made it worthwhile to play over CoC instead -.-

[finite summit]

cringe soyjak grindset

[hazy helm]

it has a storyline thats taken straight out of a COC mod
the storyline?its a worse retelling of SoC+2x shoe horns of bad factions that were cut for a reason
all of them REALLY bad writting and scripting

[finite dragon]

in CoP.
They have hired mercs that the game registers as ecologists and I killed one.
at their bunker.

[limpid salmon]

Renegades be like in their little unorganized faction

[finite dragon]

xd

[finite summit]

Renegades be like in their based faction

[finite dragon]

renegades only have their logo...
Facts.

[limpid salmon]

do renegades even have a base?

[finite summit]

Some of them also have backstories you can read if you join the bandits

[hazy helm]

the mercs are contracted,they are still mercs,just bc your boss is from Political Party A and you are from Political Party B taht being in a contract with him will automatically turn you int Political Party A
this becomes even MORE dumb when you realize Ecologists arent a faction
theyre the common denominator of the scientists sent from the mainland to preform field investigations,meaning you can never become a scientist if youre a stalker,you cant be both
you can have contracts with them but that doesnt change your alligience

[limpid salmon]

backstories? as in what? robbed a convenience store?

[finite dragon]

anyway... I killed a traitor and got his SVT-40

[finite summit]

Usually stuff like "Trolled a very influential person"

[limpid salmon]

ordinary criminals basically

[finite summit]

Who isn't a criminal in the Zone?

[hazy helm]

you raided a museum back in mainland and got this sick overengeniered piece of hardware,got into the zone and killed a soldier and took his place
CRAFTY RENEGADE MUAHAHAH

I am sherlock holmes of the zone

[finite dragon]

and where did I get ammo?

[limpid salmon]

criminals come to the zone, become bandits and renegades

[finite dragon]

that is a fun story to read... ngl

[hazy helm]

I tried my best LMAO

[finite dragon]

u loner?

[finite summit]

People come to the Zone, become criminals.

[hazy helm]

nha,Im dead,CS

[finite dragon]

or now u monolit

[limpid salmon]

there's no rules in the zone, so how can you be a criminal?

[finite dragon]

true

[solid dome]

The Zone is like a shithole at times, everyone jumps in

[hazy helm]

you are branded a criminal upon entry into the zone automatically by the gov

[limpid salmon]

criminals come to the zone to escape their sentences or whatever

[finite summit]

Well there are rules in the country which say that you shouldn't come to the Zone.

[limpid salmon]

but they don't know who that hooded figure is that's entering the zone

[finite summit]

for now

[limpid salmon]

they won't find out

[finite summit]

will they?

[limpid salmon]

nope

[solid dome]

Joe Biden escapes to Chornobyl, becomes a street cleaner

[limpid salmon]

good

[hazy helm]

well yhea,they cant pin stuff down on you if they dont know you were in there to begin with
but that doesnt mean you didnt commit a crime
going into the zone is a crime itself therefore if you do it youre a criminal,just like killing someone or stealing someone,you still did a crime even if no one noticed

[limpid salmon]

but again, if nobody finds out, I didn't do any crimes

[finite summit]

if

[hazy helm]

you wouldnt get pinned with any crimes but you still did them

no one would know but you that you were a criminal

[limpid salmon]

just a little secret

[hazy helm]

basically

[limpid salmon]

or join the military

[solid dome]

Wipe the military

[limpid salmon]

military should theoretically be the strongest faction, but eh

[solid dome]

Corrupt mfers

Take em to Yanov at the dig site and...

Drop the big wheel on top of em

[polar fern]

Duty and freedom also are corrupt tough

[finite dragon]

[polar fern]

And we are

[solid dome]

Nobody is more corrupt than the government slaves

Chat temporarily offline

[polar fern]

Krezzin just because you were rejected on the military recruitment shouldnt mean you have to hate the idea of a military

[finite summit]

it does

[hazy helm]

Im doing alchemy here

[solid dome]

Mixing things up

[solid dome]

Huh

[vernal magnet]

History is made tomorrow bois

[solid dome]

Look who's here, fellers

Tommy "Gun" Love, man from flesh and blood

[hazy helm]

hows you doing Tommy,

this video is probs where the TGA clip came from
my theory is that the trailer was supposed to be shown at TGA but for whatever reason it wasn't
and they forgot to remove the clip from TGA

it's boring but most likely tbh,either that or the PR for some reason thought they'd rile the community with taht vid and make them expect smth which is somewhat dumb

[north cape]

What faction isnt

[hazy helm]

the dead ones,

and Monolith

[north cape]

Monolith people literally kill themselves so they dont get captured

[solid dome]

Tommy went off, what happened here

[hazy helm]

tommy abandoned us

[finite dragon]

is it true the stalker developer died

[north cape]

Yeah, a while ago too

[solid dome]

I had the same feeling, he came to say what we know and left without saying good night even, not good

No need to tell us

[tulip maple]

New trailer tomarrow

[solid dome]

New trailer today actually

[vernal magnet]

100 % agree. I was saying the 1 second clip will be back in the trailer

[tulip maple]

@solid dome 16hr left what it says

[vernal magnet]

unfortunately yes. It's extremely tragic

[solid dome]

"Extremely tragic"

[vernal magnet]

i have returned Comrade. always

[tulip maple]

@vernal magnet u going to be live when trailer drops

[vernal magnet]

Our mans was making a game and fighting a war

unbelievable what the team has put into making this game happen

[hazy helm]

Never doubt the Tommy looks like

[solid dome]

You are led to believe wrong, you can't be part of ongoing war, be put on defensive position and develop a game behind the sandbags

He was simply volunteer and yet being paid as a game dev

Who would fire someone who volunteered to do something for his country, lmao. You gotta be rare fool to do that as employer.

[tulip maple]

Hoping stalker 2 will be really good

[solid dome]

Stalker 2 has to be like the old wine, else it'll taste sour

Not even Bethesda can do old wine properly

[polar fern]

Guys its late at night please stop texting thats inapropriate and violent

[carmine crest]

yep i am not hardcore enough to stay up so late, im already super tired

[finite dragon]

i also hope stalker 2 is good

[winged dust]

I advise you to temper your expectations; they're kinda pulling a Half Life 3 and criticism is gonna be brutal even in the best case scenario.

[graceful saddle]

I just want to get to cordon but the army keeps shooting me in cs

[limpid salmon]

north entrance, 3-4 renegades are easier to take out than a dude with a machine gun thats 600 meters away

[graceful saddle]

ok I see thank you

[finite dragon]

Ever since I entered Yantar and Red Forest my average FPS has dropped, do I have to delete some saves or smth?

[graceful saddle]

I was a member of clear sky before entering the cordon and now it says I am a merc

[finite dragon]

That happens automatically

[graceful saddle]

awh

[finite dragon]

You can still join other factions though

[graceful saddle]

can I rejoin clear sky?

[finite dragon]

No unfortunately but you can still help them out like repulse enemy attacks, its just that you’re not a member

For some reason your relations with clear sky drops so you’ll have to help them out

[graceful saddle]

I am back in cordon!!!!! like the old days

of a couple days ago when I beat soc again

[finite dragon]

Nice

[glad temple]

Tbf, bethesda can’t do a lot of things properly

I wouldn’t hold them to the highest standards of open world games

Hell, their best fallout games weren’t even made by them lol

[solid dome]

I'm doing another 24 hour challenge

[steel finch]

Me waiting for stalker 2 trailer

IDI KO MNE

[finite dragon]

s ame

[mild owl]

11 and a half hours left for new stalker 2 trailer

[full estuary]

Damn maybe we will also get the date for release

[pseudo rivet]

Longest gameplay trailer I've seen so far

[kind sparrow]

Playing through Call of Pripyat again and assembling the Pripyat 1 squad
But I can't find Strider anywhere. Does anyone know where he and his friends could've went?
He should be sitting outside the Freedom office 'cause that's where I recruited him
A bug perhaps?

[pseudo rivet]

Try looking around the place where Yar is

Maybe he's there?

[kind sparrow]

That's what I said, right outside the Freedom office, he's not there

[pseudo rivet]

No, where Yar is

[kind sparrow]

Yar is right outside the Freedom office.

[pseudo rivet]

🤨

[kind sparrow]

Across the table where Strider and his friends should be

[pseudo rivet]

Strider is usually outside Loki's office

[kind sparrow]

Oh wait he's sitting in the room next to Yar's in the dark

[pseudo rivet]

I don't know man, but those are two different rooms

[kind sparrow]

I couldn't see him while frantically looking for him

[pseudo rivet]

Nice

[kind sparrow]

I distinctly remember him sitting by Yar's table, strange

[sand condor]

how potentially great the graphics can be

[north cape]

Very

[granite coral]

hey guys

Less than 9 hours left 🫡 💖

[worthy lagoon]

I don't care about that

[finite dragon]

It would be nice to have amazing visuals though, although it's not necessary.

[kind sparrow]

Man. Every time I read the description for the gauss rifle batteries I'm reminded of how cool it really is

The thing really shoots freaking artefact fragments

[hazy helm]

yes

[kind sparrow]

People really go out into the wild to find those things in super deadly electric anomaly fields, come back to the labs, break them down into bits and put them in small magazines to then slap it into a big as magnet cannon and proceed to create the most deadly hand held piece of metal in the world

[hazy helm]

well no one is making them anymore
Except monolith but who knows what goes on inside there

[sand fiber]

ehhhh

[kind sparrow]

True true, I'm talking about the past

[sand fiber]

have you played cop

[kind sparrow]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh sh sh shhhhhh....
Let the man dream

[finite dragon]

Sounds expensive, where are the monolith getting the equipment and intelligence to make the weapons?

[hazy helm]

StalkerXbox2

[kind sparrow]

I am

[sand fiber]

stalker technicians making something like gauss rifle on their own is a cool idea, similar to all the exoskeleton stuff in games, but even in soc it was kinda weird

[sand fiber]

since military did not know of such a weapon and monolith for some reason was equipped with those rifles

i wonder in what build that description was originally added

[hazy helm]

the might of the C-Con

[kind sparrow]

Probably from the beginning of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise
They had to come up with a lot of cool things first before starting the project

[sand fiber]

and it makes sense considering gauss rifle is one of the first thing they came up with even before the crimean conception

[kind sparrow]

It could be the first thing that was drawn on the board

[sand fiber]

that short period when they've got concepts about a futuristic zone

[hazy helm]

I am of the popular belief they should go even more into this kind of stuff
make purposefully hard joke quests that unlock god mode upgrades in suits and weapons that require loads of cash and rare artifacts

[sand fiber]

you mean?

[hazy helm]

seep more and more into the wild pseudo science

[kind sparrow]

I mean you need at least 1 fantasy weapon for a fantasy game

[hazy helm]

it wasn't fantasy

[rotund fox]

Makes you think how did they even break up the artifact if it's so dense

[hazy helm]

Oblivion Lost was full futuristic shooter

[sand fiber]

i mean, kinda, feel like they'll add more of that in S2

[hazy helm]

and I will happily judge

[sand fiber]

i'm really afraid conceptually S2 is a complete mess

[kind sparrow]

Oh yeah my bad, I saw a Pseudo Giant walking across the roundabout when I was driving to work last Tuesday, my bad my bad

[sand fiber]

like S:OL was a mess development-wise yet they had really solid concepts and ideas

but s2...

[hazy helm]

there's a thin line beetween being pseudo science filled and still feel like youre lost and dont really know what youre working on,if they pass it it'll be more like it doesnt matter theyll make some idiotic stuff up on the spot to solve this problem

[kind sparrow]

Well yeah that makes sense

Technically the gauss rifle is also pseudo science

We already have magnets and batteries, we just need to figure out how to harness dense lightning energy and we're good

[rotund fox]

dense lightning energy
You mean electricity? Lmao

[kind sparrow]

Probably some weird hi-tech machinery

[sand fiber]

Oi, have you seen the OL/SoC mutant desdocs? The ones with detailed biological descriptions of them?

[kind sparrow]

Like tangible lightning you can hold in your hand and put in your mouth and bite like a coin

[hazy helm]

it's pseudo science full on ma man

[hazy helm]

I musn't have read the mutant des then,are the desdocs still in zone chronicles wiki?

[kind sparrow]

Like an artefact but in real life

[sand fiber]

Dunno, wait a second i'll try to find them

[rotund fox]

Im going to be that guy and say that coil/rail rifles don't make a whole lot of sense, and would most likely be used as a fire support weapon, kinda like how AT guns in WW2 or ATGM's now are used

[sand condor]

any idea how massive the world could be

[rotund fox]

Anti Tank Mass Launcher, that's my patent now

[hazy helm]

that's the magic of Stalker not being realistic,it doesnt matter

[hazy helm]

they say in the website if I recall

[kind sparrow]

You just described pseudo science

Anyway I'm super excited for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 late 2023

[rotund fox]

Not about realism it's just about it not making sense

[kind sparrow]

Good night stalkers

[hazy helm]

are you gonna harrass any dev's for cool futuristic weapon not being used right in my imagination of the product?

it's pseudo science it doesnt matter

[rotund fox]

Yes

[kind sparrow]

It's like commenting over an anime "hey that's not realistic, how are they doing that?"

[hazy helm]

"where are their noses and why are their eyes so big?"

[sand condor]

at least this game is fairly priced

[kind sparrow]

The gun shoots super charged lightning bullets made from radioactive super lightning shit and that's cool and that's that, case closed.

[sand condor]

unlike 70 bucks minimum

[hazy helm]

I wouldnt really call 60 euro a fairly priced game,if anything,it sets expectations that I dont know they will be up to snuff

[rotund fox]

Lazy and shallow lore writing only detracts from the players experience 🥱

[sand condor]

i only hate about current gens pricings

[rotund fox]

Unless you are one of those people who likes cowadooty

[kind sparrow]

To each their own, our simple smooth brains like to go pew pew with a big magnet, you are clearly too intelligent for that, go play something else

[sand condor]

i don't like sports games really and mw2 is the first cod i bought in years

[hazy helm]

how would stalkers,brainwashed stalkers at that,know how to effectively use a weapon that doesn't really exist and was never tested?

[sand fiber]

out of all cods you could've bought you bought the (arguably) worst one

[sand condor]

and for the foreseeable future i won't be buying another cod

[kind sparrow]

And for the record, I've never played cod, cs:go, battlefield or any games of the same genre, I don't like competitive shooters, they bore me

[sand fiber]

try tf2

[kind sparrow]

I tried, it was okay, OW on the other hand is super fun

And realistic

[rotund fox]

I was talking more about the design, the fact that it isn't a crewed weapon but just a 1 man rifle

[sand fiber]

ow felt kinda shallow for me, broken balance and not too much variety

[hazy helm]

HO THAT?
I thought you meant the correct deployment,if it's that then I can say,pseudo science

[sand condor]

didn't they say theres tons of weapons

[sand fiber]

but it also could've been that the game kicked me out of the server every second attempt to join it

[rotund fox]

How is that pseudo science

[sand condor]

historic weapons to m4a1

[kind sparrow]

I enjoy playing cool competitive FPS games specifically with a group of my best friends like OW, Apex and Fortnite

[rotund fox]

"Instead of trying to kill flies by throwing rocks at them, use a fly swatter"
"That's pseudo science"

[kind sparrow]

Fly swatters already exist, dummy hahahaha

[sand condor]

atleast cod tf2 and apex legends is pickup and play

[rotund fox]

I don't think this convo is gonna go anywhere it's best we just stop now tbh

[hazy helm]

You know that's not what I meant,the Gaus Rifle is not explained,it's a rifle that accelerates bullets using artifacts which IS pseudoscience stuff,you can't do that,

[kind sparrow]

Best idea you've had today

[sand fiber]

best idea he ever had

[kind sparrow]

So true bestie

[sand fiber]

<3

[kind sparrow]

[hazy helm]

"hooooo you mean killing stuffis pseudoscience" no you idiot,the tool you use for killing can or cannot
If your fly swatter was a normal fly swatter it doesn't matter it's normal,if it's a plasma fly swatter that's Def pseudoscience

[north cape]

[kind sparrow]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[nimble cipher]

Shiggy#0299 has been warned

Reason: Capital letters

[sand condor]

who really cares about pseudo things

[rotund fox]

There's nothing to explain my man just put the design on a man portable chassis and give it bigger rounds so that it's actually useful against something and makes a breakthrough in military doctrine 😭

[sand condor]

at the end of the day your killing things

[kind sparrow]

Now I can't unsee darth vader with a light fly swatter

[hazy helm]

your cries over dumb stuff dont push me,none of this matter

[sand condor]

couldn't find anything that mentioned how big the world is

[hazy helm]

the "gauss gun isnt a artillery piece and Im mad" is pretty dumb

[hazy helm]

its more than 64 square kilometers

[sand fiber]

what are you even arguing about

[sand condor]

seems pretty big

[rotund fox]

It's over, it's so over

[hazy helm]

he's arguing we should do away wikth the gauss rifle bc in real life its not even close to a one man sniper rifle,which its dumb from a gameplay prespective and restrictive from a storytelling prespective

[sand fiber]

tbh it's like saying "It'll be 780 000 sandwiches wide", a bit meaningless

[sand condor]

would anyone actually walk one area to other without fast travel

[hazy helm]

well yknow how stuff is
CoP maps sure are big and filled with emptiness

[rotund fox]

There is never even any point to use the gauss rifle

[hazy helm]

it packs a punch and almost KOs anything it hits,it will always hit the target youre pointing torwards
pretty sweet rifle

[sand fiber]

tbh we should just give up on fiction art of any kind and just do realistic military-industrial complex propaganda games instead

[rotund fox]

^dumbo still doesn't get it that it isn't about realism or not it's about the concept itself making zero sense even within the universe

[hazy helm]

I'll turn into an indie guy and make a game about a fantasy world

[sand fiber]

how does it not

[hazy helm]

how does it not?it's artifacts a wildly not very understood
why shouldnt it?

[rotund fox]

Does the Gauss rifle offer any great advantages over traditional precision rifles, like for example can it reliably pen MBTs?

[hazy helm]

wtf are you talking you idiot

do you fight MBTs?in the game?

[north cape]

Amything higher than .50 can pen MBTs

[sand condor]

mbt?

[hazy helm]

you monsoon NO ONE brings a tank into the ZONE

[north cape]

Depends of MBT

[hazy helm]

bringing vehicles of any kind is dumb

[mild owl]

7 hours left for new stalker 2 trailer

[north cape]

If you have like a BTR thats good enuff

[sand condor]

i expect no drivable vehicles of any kind

[north cape]

Ye me neither

Maybe a truck like metro exodus but thats it

[sand condor]

theres cars in the games i can see

[hazy helm]

no its dumb its stupid it wont work,we have been shown that everytime soemone brings any kind of vehicle into the zone its a stupid idea
the bigger it is the more stupid the idea

[sand condor]

but it's literally unusable for many reasons such as structural damage

[north cape]

I mean if you bring a T-64 into a swamp, thats your problem

[hazy helm]

I dont see how saying the Gauss Rifle can pen tanks will "enrich the lore" in any way

[hazy helm]

if you bring any kind of vehicle into the zone,youre being very very dumb and deserve to be clowned on by renegades

[rotund fox]

If you made the gauss rifle a man portable cannon for example you would greatly increase Infantry AT capability, imagine being able to snipe tanks from kilometers away without having to guide the slow missile to it's target.
There an instant revolution in doctrine.

[sand condor]

not to mention at the start of the game someone drives a transport vehicle and is failing

[finite summit]

and?

[worthy lagoon]

@finite summit

[sand fiber]

1. yeah, i believe it's an extremely precise long range and high precision weapon with no room for human error or miscalculation unlike sniper rifles
2. it theoretically can be used as an anti-aircraft weapon
3. stuff can exist without there being a practical reason, CoP explains the existence of gauss rifles by making them prototype-weapons

[north cape]

Nah i wanna see a BMP-2 atleast

[finite summit]

@worthy lagoon

[sand fiber]

it can be that C-Con just took all the rifles from labs and gave them to monolith

[finite summit]

BTR-70
take it or leave it

[hazy helm]

you are dumb however,I epxected you to have this kind of opinion
it's ok tho the developers have already said that drivable vehicles wouldnt be a thing

[worthy lagoon]

Say an NPC line

[north cape]

Works even better

[finite summit]

No

[kind sparrow]

Don't care

[worthy lagoon]

Why

[north cape]

Dream on. Dream on. Dream on dream ooooonnn

[finite summit]

but they should be

[rotund fox]

AMR's with programmable munition already exists, they mention in the COP storyline that the rounds the Gauss rifles uses couldn't be used against even helicopters for one reason or another

[sand fiber]

^^^

[hazy helm]

takes tank into the zone
as soon as it enters it gets caught up in a whirlwhind anomaly and crushes the tank with you inside in mere seconds
calls it a good idea

[rotund fox]

Congrats your weapon has no reason to exist

[north cape]

No not a tank

A light vehicle, even a car with a mounted gun works

[finite summit]

I think there were at least 3 tanks in the Zone

[sand fiber]

but i mean, they were able to drive tanks to CNPP

[finite summit]

But they shouldn't have been

[hazy helm]

having a rifle that can snipe infantry at long range with perfect accuracy is good no matter what

[north cape]

I think its you whos lacking bitc- i mean creativity here vasim

[kind sparrow]

That just makes it that much cooler

[hazy helm]

and considering Monolith have been able to make the munition and rifle themselves it's not exactly the hardest to make

[sand fiber]

nah, in CoP they mention that gauss rifle could've done such damage to an aircraft but it just wasn't the case

[hazy helm]

bringing vehicles of any kind into the zone is pretty dumb

[finite summit]

It really should've been

[kind sparrow]

Just let go of your dumb and useless reasons and accept fantasy

[north cape]

what if youre dumb

[hazy helm]

same stuff would jhappen and youd end up a poodle leaking out of a rusted chassis

[finite summit]

because CoP ending ends up being deus ex machina

[sand fiber]

and i mean, point 1 isn't about neutralising vehicles but neutralising people

[sand condor]

why people are so delusional and talk about vehicles

[sand fiber]

Gauss is just far more effective at that

[rotund fox]

Do they? My bad then, still a pointless weapon though

[hazy helm]

they were very dumb to do so,they probably nucked 3/4's of their forces trying to pass thru anomalies fields

[sand condor]

it hasn't happened and never will be drivable

[hazy helm]

the guy plays War Thunder and that kind of games
it would make less sense if he was sane

[finite summit]

Well. Aircraft doesn't usually have much armor so I can see how Gauss rifle could shoot dow a heli even uf it wasn't originally meant to

[north cape]

[kind sparrow]

Stop being a sissy, just accept it, it's cool and you're not required to use it. It's just there to be cool

[rotund fox]

You aren't bringing anything into the convo tbh

[kind sparrow]

I love that tank doing the club penguin dance

[hazy helm]

Im sure even a normal sniper would be able to shoot a heli if we were playing Far Cry 5 style
you know whta I mean,shoot the driver,it tumbles down

[nimble cipher]

Shiggy#0299 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[kind sparrow]

Man

[worthy lagoon]

I think they actually used BTRs, maybe the tanks were already there

[rotund fox]

Also were literally on the stalker discussion channel, if you don't like it go kick rocks

[sand fiber]

still

[finite summit]

It's not there just to be cool. It's there to be actually useful unlike stuff like RPG

[hazy helm]

what?what do you mean brother

[worthy lagoon]

It cannot

[north cape]

Losing my internet in the train, ill be back later

[finite summit]

*useful for the player

[worthy lagoon]

Unless they improved the Gauss

[hazy helm]

come back in 1 hour when the talk is already over

[rotund fox]

Cause gameplay yea, it has to serve a purpose. But otherwise not really, hell they even mentioned in the ending that that the cost to make it doesn't justify the end goal

[sand fiber]

eh i don't have the CoP dialogue resources so i can't actually check

[finite summit]

Degtyarev mentions in a dialogue with Kowalski that Gauss rifle could shoot down a heli but it coldn't have fried all the electronics like in Skat-2 and Skat 4

[sand fiber]

but whatever gauss being a prototype still perfectly explains its existence

[north cape]

Im already back

[hazy helm]

I cope

[worthy lagoon]

Exactly, but i doubt it can also penetrate a tank

Or a BTR

[finite summit]

The cost was too high when it was cancelled(in 2004). But when Zone and artifacts appeared there suddenly was a powerful and accesible power source

[worthy lagoon]

Are you giving your pray to GSC for today? @north cape

[worthy lagoon]

I think at the ending of CoP they gave up mass producing but focused on small scale production

[rotund fox]

The giant gun you see in the Zaton lab is already a good testbed, all im saying is that they should have shrunk that down to man portability but not so little that the round is practically useless against anything bigger then a armoured car

[muted moth]

new trailer in IGN?

[north cape]

Why not, they make good stuff after all

[worthy lagoon]

How about the Goldsphere object 62 @finite summit

[hazy helm]

they arent going to make a gauss gun tank bc that wont enrich the gameplay at all

[rotund fox]

Velocity goes a long way in carrying a rounds penetration, but it can't do everything by itself

[worthy lagoon]

Goldsphere object 62>Gauss

[finite summit]

Can't it?

[hearty vigil]

Mod discussion in #⭐┃nospoilers_general

[rotund fox]

You still need to think about what material to use for example, how big it's going to be, it's shape and so on

[worthy lagoon]

We don't know if psi guns will be featured https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1046833976083501146.png?quality=lossless&size=48

[rotund fox]

No reason NOT to think about it

[finite summit]

oh ok

[sand fiber]

eh, devs can just buff the already existing gauss and it'll pretty much fix this uhhh issue

[worthy lagoon]

What is that supposed to mean

[hazy helm]

the non issues

[finite summit]

ew retcons

[rotund fox]

Day 5, the stalker discord still doesn't understand that im not talking about gameplay

But you should be

🥵
My honest reaction

[worthy lagoon]

Go away horny

[finite summit]

kys horny

[hazy helm]

unfortunatly for you,stalker isnt merely a book now is it
besides,doing all this hops and loops wont really make the lore better it will just make a precedent that we are supposed to know whats going on outsie the zone which isnt the case at all

[worthy lagoon]

Go back at the brain scorcher

I still believe that the gauss should've been a psi gun

[north cape]

[hazy helm]

I knew you had Clear Sky DNA in you

[sand fiber]

i still believe they should've added that dworf anti-gravity garbage launcher

[north cape]

Wait so the gun in the first trailer is the modern gauss gun? I thought it was a railgun

[finite summit]

It would've only worked if they managed to finish the gam by 2004

[sand fiber]

2 years of development

[finite summit]

Speedrun?

[sand fiber]

real

always kinda weird hearing that soc was in a development hell even though it's been only 5 years in development excluding original Oblivion Lost

[hazy helm]

I think it is the modern gaus gun

[finite summit]

Well if you consider the number of times things were changed/cut

[worthy lagoon]

I diagnose you with: stupid

[sand fiber]

uhhhhh you can kinda blame THQ for serious 2005 cuts

[worthy lagoon]

THQ was a publisher

[finite summit]

There were serious cuts way before 2005. Don't forget the old Bar and Rostoc.

[sand fiber]

yes, and they went to GSC's office somewhere in that time and demanded they work faster and cut corners

[worthy lagoon]

Tbh i like it that way

I mean the way it came out

[finite summit]

you should

[rotund fox]

It's the same thing, the only difference is how energy is put into the accelerating projectile

Railguns dump it all at once and coilguns gradually keep increasing it

[sand fiber]

that's normal

[worthy lagoon]

Just because the game has cut contents it doesn't mean it's bad, instead it is a good thing so the company is capable to create a good story and environment without exaggerating

That's how you create a good game

Instead of throwing in the game every single idea you have

[finite summit]

It wasn't like they didn't try to add more stuff after they were asked to cut corners. There was to be Darkscape and other 2 vehicle dedicated locations

[worthy lagoon]

Thank God we don't have Darkscape

But we got vehicles in SoC @finite summit

[north cape]

Then they butchered it completely

[finite summit]

NPCs did

[sand fiber]

oh lol i thought deadmill was before 2005

[worthy lagoon]

What

[finite summit]

what

[rotund fox]

Why? Cause of how it looks?

[north cape]

Yea

[worthy lagoon]

We can drive in SoC

[finite summit]

Via a glitch and a console command

[north cape]

It doesnt look the same, im not used to this

This is insane

[worthy lagoon]

Still drivable through the use of an anomaly*

[north cape]

Shut up midget no one plays anomaly

[rotund fox]

It reminds me of the Crysis 2 railgun which isn't that bad tbh

[sand condor]

you can't drive end of discussion

[worthy lagoon]

You can

[finite summit]

he was talking about in-game anomalies not the mod

[sand condor]

prove it

[north cape]

I dont care abt how it looks, its cool but its not the same

[rotund fox]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/crysis/images/2/2f/M2014_Gauss.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110317133410

[north cape]

Any anomaly has death risks when you think about it

If you tell a vet you play anomaly, he will probably empty a 5.45 mag in your chest

[rotund fox]

And unlike the useless stalker coilgun, the Crysis one is actually useful and goes through god damn MBT's with a 10mm projectile

Was that so hard GSC?

[north cape]

I mean

The testing lab in soc for the gauss gun, had like a target wall for the gun

And it looked like it went clean trough the thick thing

Feels like it should go trough tanks but gsc just decided no and forgor the setup for it

[rotund fox]

We have 0 information regarding that thing so idk

[steel finch]

I feel like a matador while fighting chimeras

all the side steps

[hazy helm]

at all times when you fight chimeras in the series,youre never at a real danger tbh
in Zaton your mates can easely kill it for you
in Yanov you can climb the ventilation complex and just pelt him with bullets

easy

[timber salmon]

I had a chimera run into a minefield and die when i first played CoP

[hazy helm]

the chimera quest makes the chimera folow you,if you can run into the heli good and fast enuff the chimera will follow you and try to disarm the field

[steel finch]

Now I’ll have to fight the horde of pigs

[hazy helm]

easier than fighting a horde of bloodsuckers inside a closed space

[steel finch]

I was never brave enough to fire a single shot in the blood suckers lair

[polar fern]

Harambe

[finite dragon]

[timber salmon]

man i can't wait for that trailer

[frail spire]

I just started chucking grenades and hiding on the last room of the station with the hole that leads outside

because assuckers can't jump

[sand fiber]

2 seconds of gameplay

5 minutes of terrible voice acting

3 minutes of dubious graphics

[finite dragon]

Hopefully we find out who Strelok is in it.

[hazy helm]

Strelok is either dead or in the mainland

[vernal magnet]

guys i can hardly wait for this trailer

we are taking bets in my discord for the release date, what mutants show, etc. join in. Winners of the bets go in the next YT video

[worthy lagoon]

Why you don't have the content creator role? Ask for it

[vernal magnet]

I would love one, but the requirements they had posted were far above where i was at

I suppose it wouldnt hurt to submit anyway

Who would I message to apply?

[solid dome]

😮‍💨

[solid dome]

I asked for it, nobody gave it to me. RIOT.

[lunar fog]

You guys know if they’ll make stalker 2 for PS5? I know they gonna have it for Xbox

[granite coral]

Maybe they'll make it for PS5 a year later

[solid dome]

Will make it for GameCube and release the source on Altervista

[glossy blade]

Ocher deals with Content-creator applications. You can DM him.

[keen coyote]

Hello

[ancient haven]

i proved you wrong

😎

[vernal magnet]

I sent a message. Fingers crossed! I will continue dedicating my time to making sick stalker content no matter what. There really is no better game

[limpid salmon]

you are not real Strelok

[solid dome]

Uh?

People went nuts over the 1 second clip, what do you mean?

Marked One, what the hell?

[solid dome]

Marked One, what the hell?

[limpid salmon]

i kidnapped Strelok, he is in my basement in a cage

[solid dome]

[solid dome]

Post proof, DM awaiting

[vernal magnet]

my gut says we see the full clip in the trailer

[solid dome]

@vernal magnet Streaming today?

[vernal magnet]

Absolutely

[solid dome]

Live reaction?

[vernal magnet]

[solid dome]

Gimme your channel link so I can hop in

[vernal magnet]

[static compass]

Any expectations on the video length?

I'm hoping at least 10 mins or so showing off some enemies and gameplay mechanics

[dry imp]

its over

[granite coral]

8k waiting for the new trailer on youtube 😄

[dry imp]

turns out its a minute and a half

[static compass]

I cry

[dry imp]

im honestly expecting only a few minutes

[granite coral]

it is gameplay video so probably we can see many things

[dry imp]

i hope so

but in reality it probably is going to be heavily edited

[granite coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH3wS_Ld33U 8k waiting 🙂

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, 3 hours till the end of the trailer

Started at 24 hours, so yeah, long ass trailer

No, the trailer started 21 hours ago

[dry imp]

[dry imp]

hesrightyouknow

[pseudo rivet]

Now we're waiting till the end

[dry imp]

i was watching it the whole time

[granite coral]

The trailer will begin in 3 hours

[static compass]

I just hope it's a longer trailer

[dry imp]

ends*

[pseudo rivet]

Ends dude

[solid dome]

128 seconds of Stalkergasm

[static compass]

Need me some gameplay

[dry imp]

what was your favorite part so far

[pseudo rivet]

Enjoy your cutscenes in a gameplay trailer

[solid dome]

I was called HATER by the Right dude

[pseudo rivet]

Not gonna lie, the first 7 hours in were the best. After that, it was kinda mid as heck

[west minnow]

I hope they give a release date today 💪

[dry imp]

hour eight and fifteen was neat

[solid dome]

3 hours and I already know what it's all about

[granite coral]

Do you think we'll see a new release date?

[pseudo rivet]

True, that was kinda the end of the cool stuff

[solid dome]

Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll

[west minnow]

Stalker 2

[solid dome]

...and occasional Sex Pistols

December 2028 coming in

[dry imp]

what did you think about the minecraft reference

[granite coral]

it is just a placeholder

[pseudo rivet]

Lmfao and you think that's real?

[solid dome]

Kek||W||

[dry imp]

[pseudo rivet]

December 2023 is a placeholder

[dry imp]

they didn't announce it

[west minnow]

Placeholder

[pseudo rivet]

Happens all the time and besides, it's Steam that says it

[static compass]

Maybe the new gameplay trailer has a new release date

[granite coral]

december 2023 is on Steam but it is not true date

[dry imp]

probably not

[static compass]

Never know

[scenic phoenix]

Im so hyped for trailer

[pseudo rivet]

Because Steam placed that as a placeholder

[dry imp]

biglob what are your grades in school

[granite coral]

if I remember correctly they said it

[dry imp]

what
