[drowsy valley]

Why am i Finding wounded stalkers in safe areas

[sleek tundra]

Which game?

[drowsy valley]

vanilla CoP

[gilded sentinel]

Covid

[sleek tundra]

Such is life in the zone, MFs probably forgot to heal

[drowsy valley]

Fr

[gilded sentinel]

Welp , that’s around 10 minutes

Not bad

[sleek tundra]

Ffs, I didn't put into account the average player's IQ

[gilded sentinel]

Lol

[gilded radish]

180

[gilded sentinel]

Mine is 500

[sleek tundra]

70

[drowsy valley]

I still think ashot and Yar are a gey couple

[gilded sentinel]

As all freedomers 😏

[drowsy valley]

Yeah but ashot and Yar are almost canonically gay at this point

[hazy helm]

they are just having a bit of banter,they friends

[sleek tundra]

Average freedom IQ

[drowsy valley]

Bro

"No ashot, you come over here.. i got something to show YOU~"
"I don't have a microscope"

[hazy helm]

just friends

[drowsy valley]

Shut up your faction I'd only slightly relevant in one game

[worthy lagoon]

Actually, it's more important than Freedom and Duty

[gilded sentinel]

You take that back

[drowsy valley]

🤓

[worthy lagoon]

The Military is like one the key factions of the game

[sleek tundra]

My faction is important in SoC, a big deal in CS and you literally play as one of their allies in CoP, cope

[drowsy valley]

Shut up

[sleek tundra]

[gilded sentinel]

Astonishing argument , I agree

[drowsy valley]

[drowsy valley]

oooohh i see what you did there, Astonishing

[worthy lagoon]

The Military is the only faction that can actually keep control

[drowsy valley]

Screw this

[worthy lagoon]

It's a key faction

[gilded sentinel]

Yup , totally meant that

[drowsy valley]

Monolith on top

If you can't beat em join em

Anyway i just realised how easy getting stacked don cash is in CoP

[sleek tundra]

Dead faction xd

[gilded sentinel]

This applies to almost every game and mod

[sleek tundra]

JUST realized? You really must be newer than a fresh vegetable

[drowsy valley]

I ignored artifact orders as a way of getting money for s while

[sleek tundra]

You just walk in an anomaly with a detector, easy $$$

[gilded sentinel]

Here comes da money

[sleek tundra]

The game had the worst economy out of all the stalker games, buuuuut custom orders and upgrades were a thing so...

[drowsy valley]

And you can get payed 24k to get artifacts that have guaranteed spawn

[sleek tundra]

Hey guys, do you know what DOESN'T have a bad economy?

NLC!

[gilded sentinel]

We just got off that topic

[sleek tundra]

August, I'm the NLC guy around here - I force others to try the mod

Keyword is try, I doubt they'd make it past the loading screen. I really should stop having high hopes over anomaly players liking this mod

[drowsy valley]

I'm still pissed snag stole my stuff tbh

[hazy helm]

Please leave

[drowsy valley]

Didn't even open his dialogue, shot him in the face with a shotgun when i found him and got my stuff back

[sleek tundra]

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA, I LIVE IN YOUR HEAD RENT FREE

[nimble cipher]

Lord Trashcan#9358 has been warned

Reason: Capital letters

[gilded sentinel]

Nlc is like a 🌵

[sleek tundra]

It's a cactus with holy water inside

[gilded sentinel]

It’s weird and hurts you , but if you like things being shoved up your ass , you’ll love it

[sleek tundra]

If you get past the stupid needles (first 3 hours in this case) you're most likely going to love the rest

[drowsy valley]

Imagine playing mods (im too lazy to install any)

[gilded sentinel]

If you install anomaly , you WILL be cursed

[drowsy valley]

I don't like anomaly

[gilded sentinel]

Why ? It’s the best mod around

[drowsy valley]

I'm not gonna get a mod that turns my story based survival horror into Russian call of duty

[hazy helm]

inb4 the first mod you try are Return of Scar 2 and AlternativA

[drowsy valley]

Anomaly is just gun play n shet and o don't like it

[gilded sentinel]

That sound nothing like anomaly , but whatever

[sleek tundra]

Fun fact: the original stalker games were actually the opposite; russian call of duty with barely any survival horror elements

Maybe I'm either too smart for my own good or you guys are just dumb, stalker has little to no survival horror lements

[drowsy valley]

What i mean is i feel like a lot of games just ignore story whatsoever

[gilded sentinel]

Soc ending is literally Russian call of duty lol

[drowsy valley]

And also i have something personally against people who call themselves stalker fans bit have never even touched vanilla

[hazy helm]

Just play story mods

[gilded sentinel]

Agreed

[drowsy valley]

Like bro's be like "man i love stalker" then proceed to not even know what the wish granter is

[sleek tundra]

Literally me

[hazy helm]

Never seen anyone like that

[sleek tundra]

I wouldn't even call myself a stalker fan since I hate how the games were handled

[gilded sentinel]

@gilded radish what’s a wish granter ?

[drowsy valley]

I have, some guy was saying how stalker was the best game ever and when i begin talking about lore he didn't even know shadow of Chernobyl was a game

[sleek tundra]

"I WANT SEX"

Psydog spawns in

[sleek tundra]

Stalker anomaly

Stalker anomaly

[hazy helm]

I'm glad I never met that personn

[drowsy valley]

And i also kinds think graphic mods are stupid

"Man i love this 2007 game but I'm gonna turn it into something that looks like it hasn't even come out yet"

[hazy helm]

Met a guy once that said that I was just having a victim complex and then in the next sentence just started calling me names BC I liked the story and lore

Only guy in the span of years that I've played and talked with ppl about stalker that acted this idiotic

[drowsy valley]

It amazes me how the stalker multiplayer is actually not dead

[sleek tundra]

It will never die

[hazy helm]

one idiot in between 5+ years is a good ratio I'll say

[sleek tundra]

You probably never interact with anomaly MFs then

[drowsy valley]

I love how it's basically not possible to be good at stalker multiplayer cause of how got damn old the mechanics are

[hazy helm]

How bad is the netcode?I was not able to get in the developers stalker multiplayer gamenight 3 years ago

[drowsy valley]

I mean i rarely ever play the multiplayer, it's do irrelevant yet still played

[sleek tundra]

@hazy helm NLC artifact check

[worthy lagoon]

Actually, the best mod around rn is Goldsphere

[hazy helm]

I'm not stuck at home all day unlike you

[sleek tundra]

NLC

[gilded sentinel]

If it at least had ogsr maybe this would sound sane , but it doesn’t

[sleek tundra]

That's even worse, you actually go outside but instead check your discord messages

[worthy lagoon]

Cope

[sleek tundra]

Cope denied

[hazy helm]

I am known to be an enigma

[gilded sentinel]

I’m not the one who likes old ass mods

[hazy helm]

What's wrong with W.I.T.C.H.E.R.

[gilded sentinel]

It’s fine

[hazy helm]

it isn't its absolute crap hahahahaha

[gilded sentinel]

You’re kidding ? It’s amazing

[worthy lagoon]

Cry about it

[gilded sentinel]

At least my pfp isn’t anime

[worthy lagoon]

Still a drawing

[gilded sentinel]

Cry about it

[worthy lagoon]

I don't need to

[agile scaffold]

If I pre-order the Ultimate edition will a substantial portion of the money go to the Dev's / team in Ukraine? Or is it better to just support directly?

Physical *

[remote karma]

You and Kuro are some of the biggest goobers i have ever seen

[hardy bear]

there's something about the older character models and facial animations that I really like

They feel a bit more stylised than realistic I guess?

[worthy lagoon]

Retail directly supports GSC

[agile scaffold]

Okay cool. I'll definitely buy the Ultimate Edition (Psychical). Arrrrrrr

[worthy lagoon]

👍

[hazy helm]

good luck doing so,it sure won't be easy hahahaha

[worthy lagoon]

Depends where he lives

[sleek tundra]

It's anomaling time

[hazy helm]

Do not

[sleek tundra]

My kill contract was auto completed because the stalker randomly died, this is what I like to call a certified 'anomaly moment'

[hazy helm]

I will find you remember that

[sterile nymph]

Brothers, how is your life going today? Any artefacts to brag about or lucky stories to share with a bottle near the fire?

[sleek tundra]

Get the hell out of here, monolith spy

[agile scaffold]

Netherlands :P. But my GF is Ukrainian, maybe I can get a copy from UKR

[sterile nymph]

I only come in peace, bringing the enlightenment of The holy Monolith. The light in our hearths and a guide for our paths.

[worthy lagoon]

You can get a copy without much issues in the Netherlands

Check #🖤┃s2-pre-order

[agile scaffold]

Whooo! Thanks Kuro.

[hazy helm]

Had you been outside Europe,you'd have no option,good luck

[worthy lagoon]

I am personally responsible of 90% of GSC's revenue

[sleek tundra]

Time to hire a hitman

[worthy lagoon]

You will never find me

[agile scaffold]

Hahaha

[gilded sentinel]

I’ll take that as a compliment

[remote karma]

It is

[solid dome]

Few players = it works good

More than 10 players = server crashes each 4-5 minutes

Random servers = russian kids insulting each other for hours on end

[rustic adder]

I think I've gotten to the worst parts in Clear Sky

Also since when does this chat have slowmode? Or did I just never notice it before?

[sleek tundra]

Chat randomly gets a cooldown

[rustic adder]

But yeah so, I've reached Red Forest, and I think it's gonna be a very linear game now

[sleek tundra]

It's like pregnancy, sometimes yes sometimes no

[sleek tundra]

Get the HELL out of red forest before its too late

[rustic adder]

?????????

[sleek tundra]

Have you ever went there in any other stalker game?

[rustic adder]

I've only played SoC, and I don't think that had Red Forest. And now I'm playing Clear Sky

[sleek tundra]

Since you haven't played it, I'm gonna straight up tell you this; it's the hardest area in the game

It's cursed in almost every single mod. Mutants everywhere, anomalies, monolith, bandits

[ember moth]

Idk man, even in OP2 its tame

[rustic adder]

RIP

[sleek tundra]

• played each game 20 times

[ember moth]

Its boring in CS too

[sleek tundra]

Sure grandpa, now lets get you to bed

[ember moth]

You'd expect it to be hard but theres barelt 1-2 reoccuring bloodsuckers that you can easily miss

The snorks aren't that hard, they are usually the less tanky ones

[ember moth]

You don't even know about the ghost of the forest

[hazy helm]

Those are mods it's not that bad I'm OG
And it's hard due to how the AI is set to shoot you thru bushes and such that block your visibility

[sleek tundra]

Buddy, I can beat the game with a PM. It's the worst area in OG but that's not really a hard bar to pass since every area is piss easy

[hazy helm]

O my god be plays OP2,quick someone get him to a mental asylum

[ember moth]

Not even the worst thing i play but sure

[hazy helm]

What you also have AlternativA on your hard drive?

[ember moth]

Uhmm...thats embarassing.....

[hazy helm]

He does mfw,

[ember moth]

You should try it actually, its fun

[sleek tundra]

Welcome back to "how many slurs can I say before I get banned"?

[ember moth]

Playing with a PM only really puts into perspective just how tougher enemies get, especially zombified stalkers and military stalkers

[sleek tundra]

Yeah but you don't notice because they die fast either way

[ember moth]

Not really

[hazy helm]

Tone he difficulty down enuff and upgrade enuff of your equip to make it stop being a problem until the last areas

[ember moth]

You need to shove up +15 9mm headshots to kill a SKAT-9M wearer

[hazy helm]

As god intended

[ember moth]

Or like 6-7 very quick rounds too

Apparently shooting as many bullets as possible in a short time is very important

[ember moth]

NO, upgrades, suits, food, medicine, everything not allowed, just PMm pistol and its ammo

[hazy helm]

If god didn't intend me to stop bullets with my brain why did he give me such a big head?!checkmate liberals

[ember moth]

An even more interesting experiment is beating CS with knife only

[hazy helm]

Impossible,I mean,it doesn't matter if you fry Strelok or not same ending

[ember moth]

Believe or not, its possible up until the Deserted Hospital where you have to shoot down the Mi-2, but im very confident that you can do it still by glitching props to superjump

[finite dragon]

Do you guys believe that stalker heart of chornobyl will come out this year ? Do i trust steam

[worthy lagoon]

HoC will probably come out before the end of June

If we take the words of TGA for it

[hazy helm]

Mol1t got mad at a guy for asking him saying he was tired of the spamming and that nothing is assured so

[worthy lagoon]

wdym?

[hazy helm]

A guy asked in askgsc if the game was coming out in June due to the TGA tweet and mol1t got mad,warned him and said that the games date is yet to be revealed

[worthy lagoon]

Oh yeah, the date is still to be revealed, that's for sure

In my opinion my bets are on April or September

Just gut feelings, nothing more nothing less

[hazy helm]

I'm hoping for a postpone to 2024

[worthy lagoon]

why?

[hazy helm]

Same reason why I was saying the same months ago

[worthy lagoon]

You can't say the game is unfinished if you don't even know the actual state of the game though

If GSC remarked it's coming out in 2023, during the last trailer few weeks ago, then i believe them

[hazy helm]

All those months ago I didnt say it was unfinished did I?

[worthy lagoon]

what was the reason then?

i have a short memory

[hazy helm]

Go back and read it
I don't want to be rewritting

[worthy lagoon]

I'd have to look at the thousands of messages you sent

too lazy

[hazy helm]

Skill issue

[worthy lagoon]

Nah

I am busy rewatching the level of details in the S2 gameplay trailer

I compared some of the cutscenes to the OG games, i really like that there's a high level of fidelity in there

[hazy helm]

you're gonna turn into Mr Reddit that sees a badly artifacted model and says "WOMEN,THERES WOMEN"

[worthy lagoon]

Only modifications i noticed that the trains in the Garbage have moved

[worthy lagoon]

nah, women are just anomalies

doesn't exist until proved otherwise

[hazy helm]

Nhaa,it's just Reddit overreaction and journos trynna take advantage of that,you couldn't see anything in the pic
For all we know,it could've probably been a Polish

[worthy lagoon]

It would be funny a quest about that like in Goldsphere

[sleek tundra]

Anomaly is actually pretty fun, guys

Maybe we misjudged it, it's pretty fun

[amber tendon]

I thought I'm the onlt nerd who does that

[sleek tundra]

(50 mods installed, spent 6 hours changing the settings to make the game actually good)

[amber tendon]

maybe YOU miss judged it

[sleek tundra]

I was being sarcastic, fool. The only reason I'm not quitting anomaly rn is because I'm too busy trying to build a good modlist to recommend to anyone playing the mod so they won't suffer

The mod is so horribly unbalanced by default, I random won a quest after accepting because the damn bot died for no reason

[hazy helm]

Get Old World
Profit

[sleek tundra]

Too easy

[drowsy valley]

where do i get my hands on more NATO grenade launcher grenades
anywhere except the guy who gives free ammo in pripyat cause im trynna get nades for the underpass fights so he aint an option

and yes im talking about CoP

[sleek tundra]

Any trader sells them, especially Hawaii if you side with freedom

[drowsy valley]

i might have accidentally sided with duty

[sleek tundra]

Rip, they sell warsaw grenades only

[silver pagoda]

good choice even if accidental

[hardy bear]

we were briefly discussing cloud saves earlier, and according to steam soc should have them

[solid dome]

Excuse me?

[spring abyss]

Abakan is good as gp37 in cop

[spring abyss]

Buy the abakan 👍

[drowsy valley]

i use streloks SGI

[celest cosmos]

yeah gamma is def better than base games and any other mod

[hazy helm]

you have a very interesting choice of words friend

[tender torrent]

We are talking about more than 30 weapons for S2, we are talking about assault rifles, shotguns, revolvers

[drowsy valley]

no revolvers, im playing vanilla

[tender torrent]

Ah very good

[solid dome]

I prefer Saturation over Gamma

[finite dragon]

too hype for stalker 2 gamma in like 10-15 years

[hazy helm]

prepare for disappointment

[finite dragon]

how are people around here feeling about s2 anyways?

[spring abyss]

modding ue5 ? is more easy a stalker cocK 2

[finite dragon]

ngl the gunplay trailer didnt have the vibe, but the later one looked bretty cheeki breeki

[spring abyss]

??????

[finite dragon]

??????????????

[spring abyss]

what vibe ? did you even played the base games ?

[hazy helm]

the new trailer quelled some worries created new ones
That healing animations freaked me out but I trust they know how to balance the game,and certainly look like they're doing a faithful followup to the original games so I'm happy
But the cutscenes and the theatrical and exxagerated writting and acting...off-putting

[spring abyss]

stalker 2 looks like pure vanilla

[hazy helm]

anon is coming to call me dumb and nip me in the bud

[frail spire]

Do not engage with analandme users, they'll just beat you down with bad opinions

And years of skill issue experience

[finite dragon]

I see your point but also the game could use a bit more drama in storytelling, rather than just text windows

[spring abyss]

nah these people only comment here one day and then they never show up again

[finite dragon]

so hostile, new people join ya know

[ember moth]

Man posts worst bait ever, asked to die

[frail spire]

Because why bother trying

[spring abyss]

why you're always so based ?

[hazy helm]

I do not see a problem with dialogue being given thru windows,in fact,I encourage it,easier to implement and cheaper as well,less bulky on file size

[spring abyss]

hostile ? cope

[frail spire]

Proving anomaly sucks for the 6000000th time is tiring

[hazy helm]

And that was not one of my points I don't know why you said that

[finite dragon]

proving someone elses opinion wrong? I bet that does get very tiring

[frail spire]

Yeah, considering the average anomaly user is a cum gargler and can't see past objectivity

[celest cosmos]

totally serious

[frail spire]

It gets very tiring

[finite dragon]

you said the dramatic cutscenes looked off putting is what im refering to

[spring abyss]

I've always felt a heavy influence of the classic fallouts, which extends to the gauss rifle as well and I really don't understand why the eastern community worships the classic fallouts so much I also think they're great but I think it's strange that they didn't impact the western industry as much as the eastern one

[hazy helm]

the writting in them,the writting used to be very grounded,now you're being hit with cringy lines such as "I may be blind but you don't see" and I'm like this isn't how any normal person discusses anything cmon

[hazy helm]

Who bought fallout into this bro?

[finite dragon]

Ah I see, yeah the tone seems very different

[spring abyss]

me

[frail spire]

Og fallouts had a very no nonsense writing, at least in comparison to modern ones

[spring abyss]

bolts on you

[hazy helm]

Please,ppl are gonna start talking about fallout again and and and Nozar and crimson and Trashcan will spend 2 days insulting each other about new Vegas just stop now for our own good before it's too late

[finite dragon]

I found the scene with the guy shouting "my men are still out there and I cant even bury them" odd

[spring abyss]

hm I don't know what to say about that, but for isometric games they were extremely immersive, they still are for real.

[frail spire]

Thats why after fallout 3 people felt like new vegas was fallout being reborn again

[spring abyss]

oh god💀

[frail spire]

Because fallout 3 killed the whole ip for a few years regarding everything

[finite dragon]

fallout 3 had fan fiction level writing

[frail spire]

Of course modders kept it alive and made people buy it nonstop

[finite dragon]

and the size of modding community for 3 vs new vegas speaks for itself

[spring abyss]

titans of new east is great

[frail spire]

Which is why got a goty even though fallout 3 had no aim down sights which was already a golden rule for fps games

[spring abyss]

one dude ported to the pw from loners edition

[spring abyss]

yeah, nv got but that engine itself is very junky for iron sights

[finite dragon]

thats what happens when you put guns in oblivion

[ember moth]

Fallout 1 & 2 are good schizophrenia though, 3 is just bad

[frail spire]

Nv had its own issues but at least story wasn't as cringe as fallout 3

[spring abyss]

mods fix it, but f3 is just madness

[frail spire]

Fallout 3 story was just unfixable

[spring abyss]

i got almost 150 mods on f3 and the game is still boring after 3 hours

[ember moth]

Cmon guys don't be harsh, the writer for f3 had father issues

[frail spire]

have mutant companion
refuses to turn on purificator and tells you to kill yourself

[spring abyss]

fawkes good karma be like

[finite dragon]

cant be coincidence f4 was about chasing daddy again

[ember moth]

It made the BoS look good thats already cringe

[spring abyss]

enclave: got the power of the sun
still losses to some dude with a hunt rifle

[spring abyss]

shut up

Bos is american duty

[frail spire]

Also the whole ship being a livable space even though there wasn't space for it not even close to be "self sustaining"

The whole thing is a mess, the oasis questline too

[ember moth]

Don't ever compare a perfect faction from stalker with whatever stupid groups fallout has

[spring abyss]

yeah, where did they got crops anyway ? the whole ship should be a radiation bomb

[frail spire]

Also don't forget tenpenny tower fiasco where killing the ghouls that butcher everyone is bad karma

[spring abyss]

kkkkkkkkkkkk gatekeepers be like:

[frail spire]

At least in stalker the factions aren't a meme

[spring abyss]

it dosen't even make sense, they even got pre war ghouls that dunno nothing about the pre war world

the f1 pre war ghouls are so cool

[ember moth]

Fallout factions be like: larpers, larpers, larpers, illiterate larpers, illiterate larpers, incompetent government, illiterate larpers

[frail spire]

Meanwhile fallout 3:
Wacky emo vampires

That teleport behind you

[spring abyss]

dude kills his whole family just bc he whatched twilight

[ember moth]

Don't forget the punk nameless raiders

[spring abyss]

i never saw that

[ember moth]

And the somehow surviving children commune

[spring abyss]

i always drop all of them

[frail spire]

They start running anime style all around you

[ember moth]

And the mfing, what was it again? Tree cult but the tree was actually a guy

[spring abyss]

lol

[finite dragon]

fallout is pulp fiction inspired, not every game aspires for gritty semi-realistic fiction

[frail spire]

It was really jarring the first time

"what the f is this, this is a fallout game not DmC"

[spring abyss]

did you even played the classic ones ?

[finite dragon]

ye

went from serious in 1 to increasingly wacky in 2

[frail spire]

Fallout is grit central

[hazy helm]

I warned you Sylky,

[spring abyss]

f3 engine is really broken

[spring abyss]

don't let nozar see us

[hazy helm]

Don't ping crimson,and play Tatics

[frail spire]

Its just that f3 killed the franchise and NV was the last good thing we were going to get before everyone jumped ship

[spring abyss]

tatics is my favorite

[frail spire]

Which is true because after that we got f4 and f76

[hazy helm]

A to the MEN

[finite dragon]

hahah, how about fallout 76 tho, final nail in the coffin

[ember moth]

The Frontier

[frail spire]

Both terrible games with every bad decision possible

[spring abyss]

don't worry the russians are still making cool mods for the classics

[frail spire]

Which makes me wonder just how bad next elder scrolls is going to be

Its gonna be amazing how bad it'll be

[finite dragon]

as bad/good as the previous 2

[ember moth]

ESO already feels like LoL or Dota 2

[hazy helm]

They'll make an absolute garbage game you mean huh

[finite dragon]

I mean theyll make a mainstream appealing time killer

[frail spire]

Skyrim was that already

[finite dragon]

that they have been making since after morrowind

[frail spire]

I remember when playing anything that wasn't stealth was suicide

[spring abyss]

i stop playning eds after oblivion

[ember moth]

Skyrim is playable without stealth on Legendary but on god is the grind so stupid

[frail spire]

Because execution animations with +80% health in high levels

[spring abyss]

indeed i only played skyrim for 5 minutes and them the game crashed

[ember moth]

I mean the grind is stupid in Morrowind too but Morrowind gets the pass because of how much liberty it gives you

[frail spire]

Also without the stealth damage increase you don't do enough damage

And magic was pretty much useless aside maybe invisibility

[spring abyss]

[frail spire]

Won't mention enchantment nor alchemy because those are just exploit-tier

[finite dragon]

so do you guys just sit around here shit talking games you hate all day

[ember moth]

I love poking Draugrs for 20 minutes with my ebony blade and not get a single one handed level up

[finite dragon]

heavy /v/ vibes

[spring abyss]

no

[frail spire]

Maybe if games didn't consistently went down the gutter for like a decade I would have nice things to say

[ember moth]

I love dying to literally any dragon at any level because the power gap is too big, which is a good thing but theres too many dragons

[finite dragon]

plenty of them dont, for every piece of shit out there a good or great indie game comes out

[spring abyss]

indie game fan kkkkkkkkkkk

[nimble cipher]

stori11#5634 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite dragon]

lol what

[frail spire]

Indie games are 80% garbage 20% acceptable

And I play indies mind you

[spring abyss]

i would write that but you're too based

[finite dragon]

hollow knight is acceptable?

[spring abyss]

souls like tag, i stop there

[finite dragon]

factorio? plenty great games around, not every single one

[frail spire]

Nice you named 3 games, now let me list 600 that were a scam, trash or just abandoned

[finite dragon]

you ever hear 99% of everything is trash?

[spring abyss]

pre alpha beta 0.00000001

[frail spire]

I'm not saying indies are bad, I'm saying the quality control for indies is abysmal

[finite dragon]

its not about the 99% but the 1% that is good

[frail spire]

Darkest Dungeon and Underrail are to this day my favorite games along Xenonauts

[finite dragon]

there is no quality control, thats the point, quality control is the reason why ubisoft hasnt made a new game since far cry 3

[spring abyss]

50% of them are 2d, 45% are anime based 5% are actually playable

[frail spire]

But that doesn't excuse the absolute garbage diving that indies are

[finite dragon]

life is dumpster diving

[frail spire]

And Im not even getting into the gender politics indies tend to fall into

Because thats another can of worms

[spring abyss]

AAA industry always launch bad games, but the indie industry launch soo many trash that is hard to find something acutally good

[finite dragon]

sure it isnt easy but doable, that 1% thats actually good is the only reason I still game

[rotund vine]

for those who don't know

[finite dragon]

I havent had any expectations other than diseapointment for mainstream games in years, cyberpunk 2077 just confirmed that tragic trajectory that mainstream gaming is taking

[rotund vine]

elhant's assistant is a reference to the main protagonist of the GSC rts heroes of annihiliated empires

[spring abyss]

eww i gaming because I like to relive the experiences of good games and modify them, we are not the same

[rotund vine]

elhant is the main protagonist of the singleplayer campaign in that game

[finite dragon]

orly interenet rando are we not the same

[spring abyss]

oh boy

I don't know what any of that means

[spring abyss]

thats a good one tk

its where the duty theme in stalker originates from, its a piece of that game's soundtrack

who should i give the item 62 documents to, cause idk if ill get the rifle no matter what

[limpid salmon]

to me

[cobalt nexus]

December 8 is the date

[hazy helm]

December 8 is a placeholder date for steam and Xbox,2023 is all we know

[cobalt nexus]

It’s the date on the store when you buy a physical version directly from GSC. It’s quite specific for a placeholder.

[limpid salmon]

in clear sky, how do you get to army warehouses? there's no open way

[hazy helm]

like I said,no more than a placeholder

[cobalt nexus]

Sure

[limpid salmon]

anyone?

[elfin vapor]

pan?

[limpid salmon]

what?

[hazy helm]

@limpid salmon
https://digilander.libero.it/requena/stalkercs/stalkercs_map_zone.htm
It's at the top of garbage

[limpid salmon]

when im at the garbage, its not there, but when im in another location its there

I know where its supposed to be but its closed

[gilded radish]

aint no way, an egghead in garbage?

how did you not get merced by bandits and mercenaries??

[hazy helm]

Sorry?

He's playing Clear Sky

[gilded radish]

Ah

[cobalt nexus]

It will be December if it releases this year. I can’t see it being any sooner.

[gilded radish]

Ive been playing EFP as merc

NEVER see any Eco's out there

[tender torrent]

A fictitious date before a next postponement, if it had to be postponed for example

[hazy helm]

Hopefully it's postponed to 2024

[hazy helm]

I mean if I was the one making the mod I would remove the ability to play as an ecologists,Sin,ISG and tweak how military works

As well as remove stakers from being identified as Ecologists and removing Ecologists as a faction,and completely removing Sin and ISG

[gilded radish]

Bruh

[hazy helm]

[gilded radish]

is this another OG puritan rant???

[limpid salmon]

so how does one get in army warehouses in CS?

[tender torrent]

early 2024?

[hazy helm]

Don't worry the mod I'm thinking of making is a overhaul to the quest missions and that's why I'm thinking of doing that,the tweaks I would make to th military would essentially make you play not as a soldier but as a military stalker BC if you were a soldier your story would have absolutely no relation to the zone itself

By quelling the ammount of overall factions I can focus more on th ones that really matter and should be in

[gilded radish]

HOW, the military is actually in the original game, you geezers make no sense

[hazy helm]

and I refuse to make a ecologist quest by how I'm thinking of how they work you'd essentially be locked inside the bunker which isn't fun

[gilded radish]

Ecologist, and military are ALL in the og's. how do they not make sense

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-guy-senior-walker-gif-15524217

[hazy helm]

Yes,you'd be stuck at the cordons the entire game without being able to get out,if you were a spec ops you'd ride a helicopter and do a 1 hour drive to the zone a d get out

[gilded radish]

BUT YOUR NOT, ur a regular dude with a PM tryng to make money finding funny rock

[hazy helm]

Well the Ecologists in the original aren't a stalker clan,they aren't a clan,they're scientists always stuck inside bunkers doing calculations and giving work to stalkers,except Kruglov,BC Kruglov ROCKS

[hazy helm]

Exactly MA MAN which is why I'm thinking of making the player a military stalker see,military stalkers are still stalkers but they have connections with the military and work with them,meaning you can have a lot of flexibility on the stories you tell
Kinda like CoP,don't plan to go the route CoP did tho

[gilded radish]

send me the link in 5 years when the mod is done lmao

[hazy helm]

Steal ideas from Stalker2 for the monolith and make parallels for the duty and freedom quests,same for the bandit and loner quests

[hazy helm]

Gladly my good sir
Just gotta lock myself in my room and maybe I'll have it done in 2 years

The most ammount of work is brainstorm and creating said stories and quests

[gilded radish]

just make it takticool

[hazy helm]

my holy water noooooooooo

[gilded radish]

at this point just make it chernobyl call of duty lmaaaaooo

[limpid salmon]

anyone knows?

[hazy helm]

You'll have to pass the door and get to the transition either by using commands or glitching yourself into it

[hazy helm]

I mean I'm thinking of using Anomaly Old World has a base but mheeeee

Have you allied yourself with bandits or freedom?if not then most likely

[limpid salmon]

not, im friends but not allied with freedom, havent joined

do i have to have a better reputation with duty?

[gilded radish]

im currently in the process of brainwashing my friends into playing stalker

[sleek tundra]

Which game?

[gilded radish]

Showing them the OG's and anomaly

[sleek tundra]

NOT anomalu

[gilded radish]

Seeth review might help ease them into it

[limpid salmon]

isnt army warehouses and military warehouses the same?

[sleek tundra]

Yes

[hazy helm]

Sseth is a good entertainer but not a good metric to see if you would like a game
I fell into his trap more than once

Caves of Qud

[sand condor]

i wonder how many pois will there be

[hazy helm]

Cataclysm,guess my brain is just rotted away with games to enjoy them or whatever

[sand condor]

does s2 feel refined and fluid

[hazy helm]

what?

[sand condor]

any concerns about the combat

[dry imp]

yeah its a great game i recommend

[sand condor]

i might consider getting this game 20-30 percent

[dry imp]

yeah the ending is insane

[hazy helm]

I dont know,they ahvent shown me anything !

[sleek tundra]

Cataclysm is good though

[sand condor]

or either would be taken iff gamepass

have you even seen come to me

[hazy helm]

see I thought it was the BEST THING ever from how Sseth put it,like I would REALLY enjoy it,but then I try it and I get dissapointed,I found many games I like thru Sseth but many more I thought I was going to like but ended up really disliking due to the way he portrays his games

[sleek tundra]

The game IS awesome, it's just really hard to get into it

[hazy helm]

I have and thats didnt show enuff for me to make any clear and hard set opinions
it didnt show any combat even,a whole 5 seconds of 1 second clips interspliced

that was a story teaser not a gameplay trailer

[dry imp]

yeah the trailer really shows nothing

[sand condor]

in vanilla stalker are the weapon durability low

[hazy helm]

depending on the weapons durability would drop faster or slower

[wintry crater]

Guys, has anyone seen if there are clippings of a new track from the trailer somewhere?

[hazy helm]

clippings?not really

[wintry crater]

Maybe not clippings, but the track itself

[brazen gate]

when is game going to be released? anyone knows?

[sand condor]

nobody knows anything

[brazen gate]

ok ty

[hazy helm]

its most likely new

[sand fiber]

2023

[limpid salmon]

i think 2024

[sand fiber]

why

[ember moth]

Game will release in 2034

[sand condor]

certainly not

[hazy helm]

defenetly food ofr thought!

[sand condor]

it will 100 percent release by this year

[stark steppe]

Probably wont idk

[hazy helm]

you sure?I'll hold you to taht promise if it releases in 2024!!

[sand condor]

have you never seen the trailer

some people are just idiotic intentionally

[hazy helm]

wiper,you dont really understand how things work now do you!

[sleek tundra]

Some people are assholes intentionally

[vernal magnet]

How could you say something so controversial yet so true

I don't know why people are so convinced of 2024. The original date was April 21. They think the game needs 3 years for wrap up? They had an additional whole year before the war too

Worst comes to worse it comes to worst we get some post release patches

[hazy helm]

my gut feeling was telling that the game was gonna be delayed to 2023-2024 since the beggining

[vernal magnet]

Old GSC was something else when it came to dates also, stalker was pretty much their first ambitious title they ever made

[hazy helm]

and I'll keep to my guns tbh

[vernal magnet]

100% we get the final date in the next 3 months

[fluid abyss]

Yes

[finite dragon]

how u know?

[spring abyss]

The original data was 2012¿¿¿¿

[vernal magnet]

Monolith speaks to me

[fluid abyss]

Like No Man’s Sky? Cyberpunk 2077?

[vernal magnet]

Technically a different game and even company at that point

[finite dragon]

i prefer it comes late than being like cyberpunk

[spring abyss]

Stalker 2 is stalker 2 my man

[vernal magnet]

Stalker 2 as we know it now started 2018

[fluid abyss]

Even if they say 2023, I’m gonna treat it like a TBA until they drop some more gameplay (actual gameplay)

[vernal magnet]

Eh not really. Oblivion lost isn't shadow or chernobyl. Heart Of chernobyl isn't heart of chornobyl

Or rather stalker 2 wasn't stalker 2 heart of chornobyl. It was just xray2 stalker 2 and it was horrible

[spring abyss]

Oblivion is stalker soc and soc is just the fanfic

[vernal magnet]

I have the leaked build and my God the bandits are awful looking

[finite dragon]

send some pics

[spring abyss]

Doesn't one of those models used on that awful mod demonsfen?

[vernal magnet]

I can send when I get home from work but it's pretty much available online if your looking for photos

[spring abyss]

The model norman, the bandit

[finite dragon]

ow let me check then

[vernal magnet]

Not sure. If it's the bandit model with the ugly hammer and sickle then yup yup it is

[spring abyss]

Norman is a dude with a jacket with the soviet hammer and sicke

[vernal magnet]

Don't expect alot. They dont want to overshow the game before release. Like how GTA doesn't show any gameplay at all

[worthy lagoon]

100% sure S2 will be released in September or April

I am blind, but it is you, who cannot see

[spring abyss]

2023 april right? RIGHT?

[worthy lagoon]

[spring abyss]

[worthy lagoon]

yes

2023

i am confident

i still have to buy a RTX 3070Ti though

[spring abyss]

Good

[spring abyss]

I will run it on 30 fps ultra low on my intel iris xe

1280x720
Winners resolution

[finite dragon]

let me guess, monolith told you?

Monolith knows stuff

[worthy lagoon]

[hazy helm]

not even technically
its a simple truth

[vernal magnet]

Yep that would be the one

[vernal magnet]

Hold off on 3000 cards

[hazy helm]

wtf

[spring abyss]

Oh god it's on my mod now

[vernal magnet]

Wtf

[worthy lagoon]

what

[hazy helm]

shouldve told me sooner tommy
and dont worry,3dfx aint here to help us 😩

[spring abyss]

Stalker 2 will run on windows vista?

[vernal magnet]

Would you even want it to

SOC barely ran well on it

[spring abyss]

[hazy helm]

def

[spring abyss]

And how about windows xp?

[hazy helm]

defenetly

[vernal magnet]

Voodoo 2 gang gang

[hazy helm]

it will also run on an Voodoo 5 6000 AGP

[vernal magnet]

I bet stalker 2 gonna crush even my 4080. It's the stalker way on launch

[hazy helm]

I think it'll be fine for my 3070 bc I play at 1080p

[fluid abyss]

I mean, look at how Landfall advertises their games. It’s almost all pure gameplay. They’re doing really well so why not stalker?

[hazy helm]

land who?

[finite summit]

The guys who made many famous groundbreaking AAAA titles such as TOTALLY ACCURATE BATTLE SIMULATOR, CLUSTERTRUCK and STICK FIGHT: THE GAME

[hazy helm]

certainly,a TripA studio

[vernal magnet]

Cause they don't have to. Why does GTA not show gameplay before launch?

[finite dragon]

would rtx3050ti handle stalker 2 ?

[vernal magnet]

GSC doesn't need to convince people to buy to generate sales. This is stalker 2. Not stalker 1

[vernal magnet]

1060 is the minimum spec so yes. You just won't be maxing it out

Your probably looking at 1080p medium / high settings for 60fps

[graceful saddle]

who's cuter, bandits or ecologists?

[vernal magnet]

No RT of course

[fluid abyss]

Because they now consoomers will pay

Because they haven’t released a new game in years too

[hazy helm]

you couldnt make me play it either way so

at this point, do we know anything about ultimate edition pre-order becoming available again?

[solid dome]

Good luck

It'll be locked to Win 10 due to MS crap for sure, best bet if lucky - Win 7 thru sum magic

[solid dome]

It'll tank your wallet

[sly matrix]

well, if it does that also means it will become available again to do that. neat

[solid dome]

I hope you got bank already. Enough bank. @sly matrix

[limpid salmon]

is the firefly artifact rare? got it just now, CS

[sand condor]

how true is this

stalker could release first half year

[limpid salmon]

btw it was a pain in the ass to get that artifact

kept getting hit on the head with barrels and stuff

tomorrow is friday the 13th

[sly matrix]

can only be found in 2 locations, and they are far from guaranteed

[sly matrix]

considering how long I've already waited, yes:' D

[spring abyss]

[thorny junco]

i thought the epic artifact was called CLOUD

not REPLICATOR its still epic tho.. i will research it (ecologists best faction)

[spring abyss]

Replicator is cooler

[solid dome]

Who told you that?

[spring abyss]

Like "nah i find a cloud..cool i guess"

"I found it, the replicator
Wowwwwww"

[thorny junco]

myself (i have formed my own opinion based off of personal research)

[thorny junco]

nuh uh i think cloud sounded more ethereal like the way it looks, but maybe replicator goes better with its properties IDK

[spring abyss]

Nah replicator is fun

[thorny junco]

you should try 'replicating' sometime

[spring abyss]

Bolts on you

[thorny junco]

[sand condor]

can i replicate zone

[elfin vapor]

hello

[solid dome]

Mello

[vernal magnet]

means nothing. hype will carry it

[fluid abyss]

hyping without any legitimate content is a pretty scummy practice...

[vernal magnet]

yea, guess we are pretty lucky to have gotten some solid legit content

[finite dragon]

I think secrecy before a game or movie comes out is kind of cool tbh but has its issues I suppose

It's funny to think games used to have demos before they came out and that was standard and expected

[fluid abyss]

"solid legit content"

all we got were prerendered cutscenes bro

[finite dragon]

There was some gunplay albeit short

[fluid abyss]

you don't have to spoil the plot, you can have dev test footage that shows us the mechanics

[fluid abyss]

do you really believe that's legit gameplay?

[finite dragon]

nah I gotcha it makes sense, I do like to be surprised honestly though too and not know what to expect (if it's good ofc)

[finite dragon]

he said legit not me

was just saying there was a second of it and wasn't all cutscenes

[fluid abyss]

vertical slices exist

sussy game companies have done it for ages

[sturdy zodiac]

[wanton trail]

Anomaly is fun

[finite dragon]

daily anomaly argument incoming

[wanton trail]

Anomaly is just a more polished version of og games

[finite dragon]

oh boy im a little less fascist than the purists but you're just asking for it

[wanton trail]

There's no real argument against it unless you're a smelly purist who wants some moral high ground

[finite dragon]

bruh you're in the stalker discord with guns blazing.. havent played anomaly too much but theres no effing story

[wanton trail]

Yea that's true

[finite dragon]

lol its a sci fi horror game that has a rich plot

[wanton trail]

Stalker 2 is prob gonna have a lot of what they hate about anomaly

[finite dragon]

like no plot and useless items

[spring abyss]

yeah

[finite dragon]

I just think people need to chill on comparing them its rere

[spring abyss]

anomaly gameplay https://youtu.be/EdmJmFK4xiY

[finite dragon]

lol looks fun

[spring abyss]

It's not

In lost alpha theres a unique ak called "ak of the doomed one" it'sawful, in anomaly/misery every weapons is like that ak

[finite dragon]

its just unreliable and high recoil or sumthin?

[spring abyss]

No, it's 90% of the time jammed

[finite dragon]

yeah thats i mean with unreliable

[spring abyss]

So you need to find random trash to fix the gun and also a bunch of rare tools, so rare that the trash you found to clean your gun is basically useless

[finite dragon]

eh yeah I like survival games some but its already a harsh game, having to do that without a plot seems stupid

[spring abyss]

It's work on them bc they are made it for that, stalker is supposed to be played as a faster shooter, so put those survival things makes the game really boring bc you need to grind money

[finite dragon]

I am excited for stealth in S2 and it would be cool to play it different ways (slow or fast)

I am down for some survival stuff if its done well but anomaly just seems annoying. I weirdly like grinding/farming sometimes but it should be optional

anyone ever play the long dark? kind of like that game

[solid dome]

Can't be excited for something I haven't seen yet

Dunno where from you got the feeling to be excited

[finite dragon]

eh I am assuming it has stealth. its okay to be excited about a book, movie, or game you're looking forward to (or really anything in the future, you never know). the disappointment is what comes after if its not good

i can be excited about a meal at a restaurant i havent had yet

You win worst take of the month award, congratulations.

Anomaly is not really a stalker game, more of a same setting sandbox survival milsim.

It’s not the direction GSC ever wanted to go, it’s the opposite of it in every way possible, idk how one can call it a “polished version of OG games”.

Counter Strike 1.6 is a polished version of Half-Life then.

[spring abyss]

@finite dragon he falls on the bait the dude really got one

[finite dragon]

its true

[sterile nymph]

Thank you! Finally someone who is not hard over Anomaly as the best that ever came out of Stalker....

I was so embarrassed for all the Anomaly comments under Stalker:HoCh trailer that went "This looks like CoD! What a shit! Anomaly beats this in every way and I will play Anomaly and not this shit"

[finite dragon]

lol do people really think it looks like CoD

[supple bay]

I think its because they turned on god mode for the promotions so you didnt see the savescumming and cornerpeeking in all its glory

[summer stratus]

Thanks, you just gave those mf'ers another view

I never used cheats on STALKER

Imagine using cheats

*STALKER Is meant to be realisticcccc"

Also me jumping corners killing mercs at the start of the game in the merc camps in CoP

[finite dragon]

yes walking through high levels of radiation but being protected by mysterious anomalous materials and shooting someone 10 times before they die is a milsim

[modern cove]

I only cheat in anomaly cause for me its just a boring ass grind simulator

[hazy helm]

That is,the point of the mod lmao

[worthy lagoon]

It fails to do so

[modern cove]

I'm trying to make it fun by giving myself an Exo and a PKM to murder bandits

If only the side quests were more interesting and not randomly generated

welcome to misery

[modern cove]

I remember 5 snorks jumped on me the first 20 secs

[silver pagoda]

For some reason misery decided to give me two shotguns at the start, you understand I have a small problem with that

[hazy helm]

misery understands that,blowing stuff up with 12ga is cool asf

[modern cove]

Killing shit with shotguns is fun until you stumble across the zombies in clear sky

[silver pagoda]

The misery chimeras are literally terminators my dude

[hazy helm]

Skill issue
Just climb a really big rock

Like,my ego's big

[modern cove]

Bro i remember having a shotgun as my best gun and when i had to get the gas for bloodsuckers 2 burers spawned under the bridge so i couldnt get it

[silver pagoda]

Ahahahah funny thing that mission with the gas on bloodsuckers at start of CoP. I was minding my business gassing out the suckers and then 3 jumped on me out of nowhere. I still get PTSD

[hazy helm]

Climb to the top of the server racks,throw grenades and shotgun the whole area,clean the place out without breaking a sweat,profit

[modern cove]

Good idea

Thanks

Btw im planning to get into OLR and i wanna Ask how much scary is it

[hazy helm]

Never played I'm stuck with NLC7 and a bottle of vodka for my troubles

[modern cove]

I played the wonderful Wind Of Time but now i'm too scared to Play it because i went to X-19

[sand condor]

big error on your part

[ember moth]

Sometimes i wonder if bloodsucker piss has healing properties

Or better yet, imagine a burer pissing and making the piss levitate out of his junk

[finite dragon]

Think you have the wrong channel

[ember moth]

You're an ecologist you're supposed to answer these questions

[finite dragon]

I'm technically Freedom but an artifact choose me and now I am forced to be an ecologist

[ember moth]

Faking the job to steal meds and make drugs, gotcha

[finite dragon]

[limpid salmon]

should I sell this firefly or keep it? +3 radiation but like +4 health

I already have a -4 radiation artifact in use

[ember moth]

Keep it

One topic I would like to discuss would be that the memory requirement for STALKER 2 is 150GB for PC and 180GB for Xbox.

Or the equivalent of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond (2020) 180 GB.

Modern warfare (2019) 150 GB

Red dead Redemption 2: 150 GB.

Microsoft Flight Simulator: 150 GB.

So logically, we can't compare how close STALKER 2 will join the biggest AAA titles compared to its single title era of its time.

Even knowing that Metro Exodus was only 53 GB on Xbox

STALKER 2 is going to be the biggest game going up against Giant Call of Duty, Battlefield, Microsoft and other titles.

and for that it must prove itself, and I trust the developers.

they will impress us, just like GTA 5

[spring abyss]

150g? 5tb with sgm 4.0

[tender torrent]

Not to mention this

Stalker 2 will be one of the biggest titles we've ever seen, far surpassing Metro Exodus

[hazy helm]

you know,it's file size being big isnt a good thing
its actually very concerning and a big tell

[tender torrent]

Will the game be able to handle crashes?

[hazy helm]

???

[tender torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-computer-crash-meme-help-complamation-gif-20724408

[tender torrent]

when your PC crashes for example, there are always bugs at the beginning of a title

[hazy helm]

you mean when it's released?

[tender torrent]

I mean when a game comes out there are always some bugs or crashes that are going to happen

[hazy helm]

huge filesizes are indication of other problems,bad coding,uncompressed textures and sounds,generally messy insides where updates will be stacked on top making it heavier and heavier continuously which wont help the patching process

[tender torrent]

You seem knowledgeable about this process

[hazy helm]

I hope 150 gb is just an overzealous estimation from developers that had no idea the size that would it would be at the end and the game is compressed and well optimized

[finite dragon]

for shits I just compared it to cp2077 - 70 gigs and gta5- 110 gigs -- other big open world games

[tender torrent]

especially since STALKER 2 is extremely heavy

[finite dragon]

maybe it'll be big big

[jovial isle]

Hi there!)

[tender torrent]

Metro Exodus 53 gb xbox, STALKER 2 180 gb Xbox, there is what this posed a lot of questions

[finite dragon]

how big is fornite i dont have it or other ue5 games?

[tender torrent]

The new UE5 engine has never been tested before? doesn't it normally take up a lot of space?

[finite dragon]

idk thats why I'm asking. Fornite is UE5

[tender torrent]

Developers must have a huge workload and pressure behind

The game will be masterful

[spring abyss]

Does stalker 2 will be that bigger? I think is just the ue5 assets size

[finite dragon]

yeah thats why im curious how big fornite is

[spring abyss]

And literally a war

[tender torrent]

UE5 which would take up space it is however clearly indicated that at Epic Game a considerable reduction in data space compared to UE4

[spring abyss]

Bad optimization is every where

[finite dragon]

games do jump in file size every gen, idk we'll c

[worthy lagoon]

UE is generally considered well optimized

[spring abyss]

Also soc itself was pretty rushed, is full of unused stuff, mole got 10 unused models, and theres a lot of cut zumbies

[tender torrent]

UE5 was released at the time almost at STALKER 2 was in full development under UE4 then it was postponed to make a whole tat of adjustment under UE5, the thing we have no experience of UE5

[worthy lagoon]

No, it's just that GSC that time had so much stuff in its mind that it would've end up being a stew

[hazy helm]

it doesnt matter if the engine itself is good,if the code isnt,and the files arent optimized and compressed it'll be heavy

[worthy lagoon]

So THQ sent one of their dudes and made good cuts

[worthy lagoon]

Unity

[hazy helm]

Unity is a very good and powerful engine,and its used to make shlop that is bad,that is the live example

[worthy lagoon]

Don't make me laugh

Unity sucks

[spring abyss]

Nah, 10 moles in the game files
And for some reason it got a lot of broken skat-9 models

[hazy helm]

Unity is a good engine Kuro

[worthy lagoon]

How about you play EFT

[hazy helm]

like I said,it doesnt matter how good the engine is if the code is bad

[worthy lagoon]

Or try to import models on Unity

Unity is like a mess

A literal mess

To work on

And let's not talk about the work to add textures, Jesus Christ

Have you even worked with Unity?

[hazy helm]

have you ever worked on Unity?

[worthy lagoon]

Yes

[hazy helm]

yhea I have

and its one of the better engines out there,trust me,the pond is big and filled with bad bad stuff

[worthy lagoon]

Unity is only good when it comes to small games or android games

[tender torrent]

Do CSG have enough experience to make it happen with a gigantic game? do they have support from Microsoft Xbox to help them?

[spring abyss]

Ewww

[worthy lagoon]

UE is more specialized in 3D games

Compared to Unity

[spring abyss]

They already good the stuff ready, half of the game size are probably unused content

[hazy helm]

Unity suffers from being unfocused and trying to be a platform to do everything,but in and of itself its a pretty powerful platform

[spring abyss]

In 2021 i do make a unity 2d generic game

Unity is weird, c# is suspicious easy to learn

[hazy helm]

like,you wanna try unity,so you start one of their course,the first,its just them cleaning their nose and going on and on about how their engine is ho so big and how you can do everything,architecture,games,animations,movies,CGI,etc etc and Im like dude I do not care Im here to learn how to use it

[tender torrent]

Assinssin's creed Unity ?

[hazy helm]

Unity the engine

[worthy lagoon]

They have support from EGS if i am not wrong

[tender torrent]

Ah yes sorry

[hazy helm]

let us hope they have enuff time to clean it up and not release it in a mess

[worthy lagoon]

What we've seen in the gameplay trailer it doesn't look that bad

[tender torrent]

he must have a gigantic job behind

[worthy lagoon]

You can notice it's real gameplay because there's a glitch too

In the anomaly part

[hazy helm]

you know how I get with gigantic file sizes,very very pissy

[worthy lagoon]

Physics has limits y'know

We don't know the vastity of the game

So you cannot determine if 100 GB is optimized or not

It's like saying to fit GTA V in 15 GB

[hazy helm]

physics has limits but it doesnt make sense when there are games like arc that are 100+gigs in size when they could very well be half of that if optimized

[worthy lagoon]

I am not talking about Arc

[hazy helm]

like Xcom 2 is 70-80 gigs,and why is that!?

[worthy lagoon]

You make it sound like if it's easy

[silver pagoda]

Warzone 1 was like 120GB too

[worthy lagoon]

Just satisfy the game requirements, buy a RTX 3070Ti and see it yourself

[hazy helm]

these are examples kuro,examples taht are too many to list,there is nothing wrong with being concerned

[worthy lagoon]

We'll know about the performance in a gameplay showcase or when it will release

[finite dragon]

was just saying yesterday i forgot i had MW on my main drive and it was 250 gigs so stupid

[worthy lagoon]

Nowadays GPUs are extremely powerful

[tender torrent]

it must be understood that STALKER 2 will not be compatible Xbox one

[worthy lagoon]

Especially with the help of AIs

[hazy helm]

kuro you idiot,do you think everyone has 1gigbit internet taht can downlaod 600 games at once?do you think everyone has a 10tb big SSD NVME?youre just making excuses for developers to let the outsorcing and general bad code get away with it
some stuff isnt easy,and others isnt hard but its inexcusable to hand it this way

I own a 3070,the problem isnt this

[silver pagoda]

Stop arguing and buy a 4090 already with 3TB SSD you guys make it too hard

[hazy helm]

[ember moth]

@worthy lagoon you still play PD2 btw?

[worthy lagoon]

I literally have 1 TB of M.2 SSD

You can be good even with 750 GB

[tender torrent]

We have a title that goes beyond Metro Exodus, you have to imagine all the same

[worthy lagoon]

Or 500

Just unistall some games

[hazy helm]

and youre not scared at the prospect of more games taking up 1 tenth of your space?it's not ok when you can and should make them smaller and more compressed

[worthy lagoon]

Do people even care about space?

[hazy helm]

YES

[silver pagoda]

People dont want to uninstall their 'anime' 'interactive experiences' Kuro

[hazy helm]

and Im impressed by those taht dont

[worthy lagoon]

Too bad

[hazy helm]

it baffles my mind how ppl think it's for games like Warzone to be 100+ gigs,its inexcusable,Ive seen way bigger games being a fraction of the size whilst being even more detailed

[silver pagoda]

Warzone content -> 5gb max
Warzone size -> 120gb

[quiet pecan]

My 800gb already dead 😭

[sleek tundra]

I've seen 10 megabyte games that could be played for years

[spring abyss]

Based a link to the past 👍

[silver pagoda]

mount and blade warband

[ancient raft]

do we have any information on how multiplayer will be like?

is it gonna be tarkov-like?

[ancient raft]

yo you greek?

[silver pagoda]

yes

[ancient raft]

kati katalava hehe

[hazy helm]

we know nothing
but from the way GSC talk about it in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive it'll most likely be like the ogs

[hazy helm]

yhea more of a casual type mode
the devs are always denying it will be coop and when a guy asked will it be like DayZ he said it wont have coop again so

[worthy lagoon]

you're right

!mute @worthy lagoon

[nimble cipher]

🚫 You can't mute immunized @worthy lagoon.

[worthy lagoon]

piss off

[hazy helm]

but kuro can correct me if he wants Im not really informed about multiplayer,when there isnt much to be informed about

[worthy lagoon]

I don't want Wolf

I want Yar

[silver pagoda]

Last time MP was mentioned was PC gamer article, DM/TDM

which is dissapointing but w/e, would love a goal based mode rather than dumb respawning modes

[worthy lagoon]

I mean, i doubt it's going to be like EFT, it takes too much effort if the game is SP

[spring abyss]

No, no
