[spring abyss]

Indeed it just show skill issue

[sleek tundra]

?

[sand fiber]

i don't love it i think it's shit

[midnight tiger]

It shows objectively bad mechanics for 2023

[spring abyss]

Oh no the devs will keep 2007 mechanics in a 2023 game

[sleek tundra]

Chad

[midnight tiger]

Just because I can run passed dudes doesn't make my point invalid. That's a strawman lol

[sleek tundra]

What mechanics? They were all balanced around the game

[sand fiber]

reading the desdocks for OL is much better, i will repeat again

[autumn shale]

Honestly no game is immune to criticism and there's always room for improvement

[midnight tiger]

And the game is jank af lol

[spring abyss]

You can literally knife then, i did with gamepad on master. Stalker is not broken, indeed is too easy. That's why people make mods like misery and anomaly

[midnight tiger]

It just makes me laugh when people fanboy so hard. Same shit in dark souls community.

[autumn shale]

yeah, definitely

[midnight tiger]

The game isn't broken, the engine is roflmao

[sleek tundra]

Maybe we wouldn't have done that if you actually brought your arguments instead of mocking the game

We all hate this game more than you do, but at least we explain why

[midnight tiger]

I never mocked the game lmao

says any sort of criticism

"OMG STOP MOCKING THE GAME"

[sleek tundra]

The criticism is invalid, I explained why

[spring abyss]

Theres literally no point at all, soc gunplay problems is on the lack of enemies reaction to damage, they can literally do a tank run over you while you keep shooting them is like shooting ruble, but say that the problem is on the accuracy is the kind of thing that only first time players do

[midnight tiger]

Yall are something else lmao

[autumn shale]

Given how much of a mess the development of SoC was and the size of the team and budget, it's understandable and generally it was better for them to build their own engine at the time. Though nowadays when engines are more flexible and available than ever before, the switch to Unreal was the best thing they could have done.

[midnight tiger]

Game being balanced around this or that doesn't make the gunplay any less shit on vanilla

[sleek tundra]

Again, you STILl haven't explained why

[sleek tundra]

It isn't shit, you hit surprisingly well later on in the game when you get actual good gear

[midnight tiger]

Oh no I totally get it and I love the games enough to look passed it. It's amazing what they made on a small budget.

But with STALKER 2 on the way this is shit to think about

[autumn shale]

yeah, I agree

[midnight tiger]

I hope a-life doesn't become shit lol

[autumn shale]

XRay was a janky engine but those were different times. It wouldn't likely pass nowadays for a AAA game

[midnight tiger]

Only thought I had when I saw they were switching engines

[sand fiber]

"""small budget"""

[spring abyss]

If push only to the wish granter you can end with a abakan, the really broken part is the true end path with the fvcking screen shaking, enemies spawning right in front of you and rpgs everywhere

But the rest of the game is really cheese

[autumn shale]

Same. It's what makes the zone feel so alive after all

[sand fiber]

the game was hyped since even before it was stalker, it was sponsored by THQ, griga forced TWO product placements in the game, griga was able to pull the company all on himself when devs delt like denying THQ, since y'know he was the youngest millionaire in ukraine

[sleek tundra]

@sand fiber Offtopic but what do you think makes the zone alive?

I never understood the hype behind A life, it looks so overrated. You don't see anything that happened on screen

[sand fiber]

oh and also they had a billion other games sold lmao

[midnight tiger]

Nah man when I started it was still a pretty niche game. It took awhile for it to explode in popularity

[sand fiber]

you clearly have no idea about what stalker was in ru-speaking postsoviet audiences

[midnight tiger]

Fair

[sleek tundra]

The game was extremely popular in the russian community waaay before anomaly was even out

[midnight tiger]

I'm murican it's a character trait to only think about myself

[midnight tiger]

I was talking like 15+ years ago

[sleek tundra]

Y'all making it sound like Anomaly saved Stalker, when in reality the game was popular even before that

[midnight tiger]

Anomaly wasn't even a thought at that point lol

[autumn shale]

yup

[sleek tundra]

Still was popular

[midnight tiger]

It was niche

[sleek tundra]

It wasn't, it sold millions of copies

[sand fiber]

everyone from 8yo children to 40yo men played the damn game, and they started hyping it up BEFORE they even did Stalker: Oblivion Lost concept

by which i mean two main concepts of course

[autumn shale]

I stand corrected about the budget

[sleek tundra]

• millions of dollars, enough to qualify as a triple A studio

"Small budget"

[sand fiber]

anyway yeah it was much more than an AA project from the beginning

[nimble cipher]

Paradox#7185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spring abyss]

[midnight tiger]

Lol what a crap auto mod

[sand fiber]

it used to warn people for caps

[autumn shale]

The STALKER games definitely look great graphically for the time. The photoscanned textures look great and the effects in the sequels like the rain effects added so much immersion

You can see how much effort they put into everything

[nimble cipher]

Paradox#7185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sand fiber]

yeah, photorealistic textures give it a nice unique feeling and lightning basically carries the entire thing

[midnight tiger]

Even when I try I still cuss like a sailor. RIP

[autumn shale]

Admittedly it is a bit surreal seeing those old areas in modern graphics in S2

[spring abyss]

When i became helper i was having 83 warns for using caps

[sand fiber]

literally me

[turbid current]

I hope the modding community will be good on stalker 2 aswell tbh

[midnight tiger]

The average English speaking gamer didn't know what stalker was and now just about anyone does. It's like dark souls 1

[spring abyss]

I hope not

[sand fiber]

i hope it won't

[amber tendon]

I think it does this because you've joined recently or haven't wrote enough messages

[midnight tiger]

They are releasing mod support on launch I think

[midnight tiger]

Ya. P.S. based freedomer, where da weed at

[autumn shale]

I am honestly hoping STALKER 2 will have an option to play with Ukrainian audio and English subtitles. It would improve the immersion so much

[sand fiber]

Untrue, it was DeS, DS1 was real popular at launch

[midnight tiger]

Now THATS cap

[turbid current]

ROH2 project announcement 2 weeks after release

will only take 15 years dw

[autumn shale]

Indeed, and to think the engine even had an unfinished global illumination implementation is astonishing for 2006

[sand fiber]

stalker 2 old concept 2

[spring abyss]

Except that the models are not cringe

[sleek tundra]

Won't be as as good

[sand fiber]

i actually want to see OLR in UE5 lmfao

[sleek tundra]

Thank god for small mercies 🙏

[sleek tundra]

We aren't talking about them, they aren't important now

Well, that's me being delusional. They're important, sadly.

[spring abyss]

Modding ue5 will be hard, not bc it's hard to script but the hardware reque and hdd size will be great, imagine a anomaly in the ue5, it would be heavier then the cod warzone

[sand fiber]

untrue we did not specify whom we were talking about

[midnight tiger]

Sadly? Dark souls is to skyrim what STALKER is to fallout. I think they go hand in hand

[sand fiber]

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

[turbid current]

DeS only sold 140k copies in a year though

[sleek tundra]

We were talking about the Russian community, no?

[spring abyss]

🤢🤢🤢

[turbid current]

your talking about Demon Souls right?

[sleek tundra]

What the hell are you talking about?

[sand fiber]

it should've sold less, miyazaki is a terrible designer

[turbid current]

wut 🧍🏽‍♂️

[midnight tiger]

Janky ass game with above average difficulty and a dark atmosphere lol

[turbid current]

HAHHAHAHAHAHA

Imagine comparing skyrim combat with Darksouls combat

[midnight tiger]

Games were good until after bloodborne. I love dark souls almost as much as STALKER but elden ring shouldn't have been as critically acclaimed as it was

[spring abyss]

Stalker is more inspired in the classic fallouts then the new fallouts itself
While skyrim is a completely different game from dark souls, dark souls is the evolution of kings field. The point was missed like a pmm shot in soc

[sand fiber]

well when you put it that way, but what was that skyrim to fallout comparison

[sleek tundra]

Imagine comparing SKYRIM to DARK SOULS in the first place

[midnight tiger]

It was dark souls to skyrim and stalker to fallout lol

[sleek tundra]

Again, what is the overall goal of the comparison?

[turbid current]

Fallout 4 is just skyrim with guns

[midnight tiger]

Are yall autistic or what? XD

[sand fiber]

idk i hated all of them, all of them are bad

[sleek tundra]

No, we just don't understand people who aren't within 5 points of our IQ

[sand fiber]

elden ring was worse though

[spring abyss]

Hey, chill guys

[sleek tundra]

No

[midnight tiger]

I'm sorry I don't literally have 5 iq

[sleek tundra]

💀

[midnight tiger]

Agreed, unless you're playing co-op

[spring abyss]

[sleek tundra]

Actual chad

[sand fiber]

i got so incredibly bored and tired at mountaintop of giants, the finishing blow was that volcano manor target there

[turbid current]

Yes

[midnight tiger]

Fair

[spring abyss]

It's goty bro, it better be good, the goty wouldn't lie to us

[turbid current]

Elden ring could have been good but it literally had copy pasted the same 3 bosses and the same 3 caves across the whole map

[spring abyss]

I got that game in the launch, but i never played

[sand fiber]

Wish DeS had better co-op, it's the only one i can play with friends lmao

[turbid current]

i played abt 250 hours, i enjoyed it tbh

[midnight tiger]

It's actually "the only game that wasn't shit this year"

[sand fiber]

It's the least of the game's problems

[spring abyss]

Imma go try eventually

[turbid current]

what is the problem then?

[midnight tiger]

Elden ring and ds2 by far have the best co-op

[sleek tundra]

Cyberpunk was good, yes I know it wasn't 2022, just saying

[sand fiber]

The worst part of it is how they managed to ruin the combat

[midnight tiger]

It was mid

[turbid current]

Jumping attack simulator
ngl thats facts

[sand fiber]

i was cursed with playing ds1 and 2 without multiplayer

[sleek tundra]

It had a great story, that alone removes the mid marker

[midnight tiger]

That's just like, your opinion, man

[sleek tundra]

It's objective

[spring abyss]

[turbid current]

I understand why you think the combat sucks now though, i ran through most of the game using jumping heavy because normal attacks were a lot slower, dealt less stagger, and less damage

[sand fiber]

I think i would've enjoyed DS1 far more without the roadblocks that illusory walls were

[spring abyss]

How about playing kingpin* is like cyberpunk with mafia

[nimble cipher]

Paradox#7185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[turbid current]

how do you keep saying bad words

[midnight tiger]

I knew it as soon as I posted it lmao

[spring abyss]

To pay the wolf bills

[midnight tiger]

Well when you work manual labor its just par for the course

[midnight tiger]

Gotta make him earn his paycheck

I was saying elden ring was super unbalanced.

[turbid current]

well its supposed to be a story game

theres no Elden Ring E-sports

[midnight tiger]

Not exactly considering the nature of invasions

[sand fiber]

Nope, i think it's conceptually, fundamentally broken

DS games had fixed timings of attacks, which made bossfights fair and actually skill-based,
... With the exception of unstable combos, though Gael got it right.

Now, in ER, instead of like, an actual combat there are only DPS and Health checks, there is nothing involved, it's an autobattler

[midnight tiger]

PREACH

You don't know how mad dark souls fans get when I say that sort of thing

[turbid current]

Autobattler? xD based

[sand fiber]

DS fans are fvcking stupid, DS2 hate's the best example of that

[turbid current]

sounds like skill issue

[spring abyss]

I dunno i like to wear cool European armors, well that's why i was not so happy with elden ring, the armors are too many fantasy like

[sand fiber]

I mean it as in even before the influx of people who think they're underground and nieche by playing ER

[midnight tiger]

Sounds like you haven't done pvp lol

[midnight tiger]

There will always be the bandwagoners when a game goes big

[turbid current]

i have, not that much on ER though, more ds3

[midnight tiger]

I've played a co-op run up to mountaintop and there is a handful of really broken builds. My friend and I clean house, but it doesn't make the balancing any less shit

[sand fiber]

and unfortunately they were relatively big and mainstream since the damn ds1

[midnight tiger]

Yes and no I'd say

[sand fiber]

Ehhh, well, DS1 numbers and DS3 numbers aren't comparable, but that doesn't mean the game wasn't mainstream'ed

Again, journalists picked it up even before the general public

[turbid current]

Big and mainstream idk, none of my friends ever wanted to play it because its "hard", just because they heard it was hard

I guess it was a known name that is true

[sand fiber]

to create an entire legend around the thing means lots of people have tried it at least

[turbid current]

You dont need to try jump king to know its hard, you can just look at youtube

[midnight tiger]

I wrote it off at first, and then got hooked after some encouragement from friends

Dark souls 1 difficulty is overplayed. It really wasn't that hard

Save certain fights or areas

[turbid current]

DS1 was easy once you understood how to upgrade weapons

[sand fiber]

the game's just bad at communicating with the player that's why it was percieved as hard

[midnight tiger]

It's not bad at communicating, it's the dad that left for cigarettes and never came back

That was intentional

[turbid current]

Yeah i enjoy it that way tbh, i felt similar on stalker

[midnight tiger]

Exactly lol but my comparison earlier was lost

[turbid current]

if you had said Witcher and darksouls sure

[sand fiber]

Some of it, yes, but i need you to look me in the eyes and say that whatever the hell's weapon upgrade system and like general stats system are convoluted intentionally

[turbid current]

but not skyrim xdd

[midnight tiger]

It is. If you're saying it's TOO convoluted, then ok. But it was intentional

[sand fiber]

This jank gives the game a charm and certain feeling, undeniably, but it could be done better with less stupid tools

[midnight tiger]

Not saying your wrong

[turbid current]

is just japan gaming we dont get it

[midnight tiger]

Elden ring almost made it appropriately convoluted but they still messed up

[spring abyss]

Git gud
Git gud

[sand fiber]

japan gaming when you abuse your devs to the point they release whatever just to stop it

[midnight tiger]

Why the hell there wasn't some sort of hub instead of the old NPC is beyond me. World is way too big to find them all without using a wiki

[midnight tiger]

Always a based response

[turbid current]

exactly

any developer this day and age tbh

[midnight tiger]

Miyazaki is a frigging troll lol

[sand fiber]

I mean, quests were always bad and worst and i hate them and i wish froms went bankrupt

[midnight tiger]

I have to agree with sylky here: skill issue git gud skrub

[turbid current]

great

[midnight tiger]

Embed fail

[turbid current]

🥹

[sand fiber]

people complain how it's stupid that patches goes back to the cave without anything in the world telling you about it in any form and then defend DS1 quests

[midnight tiger]

Ds1 was linear tho

[hazy helm]

what are we complaining about today

[turbid current]

Darksouls

[glossy blade]

that was a start

[sand fiber]

It had, uh, choices in what order you want to go, and it just didn't work with quests, nevermind their terrible design in the first place

Then they did the same thing in DS3

Then, well, ER happened

[turbid current]

Quests are optional though

[sand fiber]

Have no idea about Bloodborne and Sekiro, maybe they're the pinnacle of souls design

[hazy helm]

Dark Souls 1 is the best Dark Souls and that is all I'll say

[turbid current]

The Quests are supposed to be hidden

[sand fiber]

yeah nah m8 that argument doesn't work, their design's bad and the fact that you can realistically complete them only on your 5th playthrough doesn't do game's a favour

[spring abyss]

If any mod saw this, it's vasim fault that anyone is talking offtop here

[hazy helm]

we could steer the convo to Ace Combat

[sand fiber]

YOU'VE 100%'ED THE SECOND ONE

[hazy helm]

and?

[midnight tiger]

That's just like, your opinion, man

[hazy helm]

jealous?

[spring abyss]

Wich one?

[sand fiber]

[hazy helm]

whats the best plane in AC1?

[sand fiber]

nope i can prove it actually, on kaath, sigmayr, anri and actually every quest

[spring abyss]

The f22 in my opinion, ace combat 1 is all about speed, the faster you're the faster you can avoid sams, sams are really broken in ac1, the f22 is faster and got really broken maneuverability

[hazy helm]

then I'll buy that on and spam skill issue on the bots

[midnight tiger]

There is a lot of people that would disagree lol

[spring abyss]

The last battle is like hell and also, ac1, ac2 it's all directly tied to acz, acz is the most important ace combat

[turbid current]

meh, i enjoy they way they made their games, the souls-like games From has made are some of the best games ive ever played

[sand fiber]

there are a lot of people who would disagree that elden ring's not very good

[spring abyss]

It's all belkan fault

[hazy helm]

ok

[midnight tiger]

STALKER and dark souls are in my top 3 favorite games of all time

[turbid current]

whats the 3rd

[midnight tiger]

Uh uh uh

[sand fiber]

try Hollow Knight it executes souls formula better than Froms ever could

[midnight tiger]

Heroes of might and magic 3? Idk

[spring abyss]

Try this order
Ac1-ac2-ac3
Ac0-ac4-ac5

[sand fiber]

unironically

[hazy helm]

all right all right all right

I will

[midnight tiger]

laughs in blasphemous

[turbid current]

i did, its not souls formula, its a metrovania

[spring abyss]

Ac 0 os the ac5 prologue, ac5 give huge spoilers about ac0

[sand fiber]

hk is a souls like lmao

[turbid current]

i dont even know that game kekw

[midnight tiger]

Metroidvania with a dark souls vibe. Same as blasphemous

[midnight tiger]

It's a metroidvania make no mistake

[sand fiber]

ehhh got stuck with that one

[sand fiber]

of course it is

[midnight tiger]

Turn based strategy game that was my childhood

[turbid current]

Salt and Sanctuary does a good representation of a souls-like 2d game

[midnight tiger]

I didn't beat the DLC, it's all perfect play bs. But I got the 2 Nirmal endings

[sand fiber]

by the way your messages about souls being your favourite game are a bit concerning, how much immersive sims have you played in your lives?

[midnight tiger]

Huh

[turbid current]

One of my favorite games is Zomboid 🤡

[sand fiber]

[turbid current]

most immersive zombie game ive ever played ngl

im not capping

[sand fiber]

nah left 4 dead's there

[turbid current]

left 4 dead isnt immersive its an arcade shooter

[midnight tiger]

You realize froms old series kings field apparently fits into immersive sim, right? XD

[sand fiber]

Zomboid's not an imsim either

You misunderstood, imsim is a genre

[turbid current]

imsim?

google says its a racing chair

[midnight tiger]

Immersive sim

[sand fiber]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i mean imsim's not possible to define but to call that dungeon crawler an imsim is a bit of a stretch

[turbid current]

what is considered an imsim

[sand fiber]

Immersive Simulators, games like Deus Ex, System Shock, Thief, Dishonored

[midnight tiger]

🥱

[turbid current]

Dishonored?

[sand fiber]

Yes

[midnight tiger]

What does imsim have to do with dark souls anyways lol

[midnight tiger]

I change my 3rd favorite, definitely battlefield bad company 2

[sand fiber]

if you think that dark souls is your favourite game you certainly haven't played much good games

[spring abyss]

Delta force

[sand fiber]

that's why i brought up imsims, to recommend a thing or two

[turbid current]

those dont sounds great to me tbh

[midnight tiger]

Ah yes the "my opinion is right" take lol

[turbid current]

Thief and Disonored i tried and didnt like

[sand fiber]

Ironically, of course

[midnight tiger]

I've played dishonored, was kind of boring personally

I DO regret missing bioshock

[sand fiber]

Try Prey 2017 and especially Deus Ex

[turbid current]

I dont like stealth

im from the balkans i use my 4head

[sand fiber]

Sorry can't hear you here from all of those 200 hours spent in both Dis games

[sand fiber]

Then just don't play them like stealth, that's the whole point

[midnight tiger]

laughs in countless hours of dark souls

[nimble cipher]

Paradox#7185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[turbid current]

Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing and stealth elements set in an open world environment. Is the description i found when looking it up

[midnight tiger]

Bruh, end my suffering

Just give me the F bomb and I'll be happy

[spring abyss]

Prey 2006 better

[sand fiber]

It's an Immersive Sim, there are countless ways how you can play it and stealth is just one of those options

[turbid current]

Stalker is the best imsim

[sand fiber]

Same with Dishonored, you can go slicing people in half lmfao

[turbid current]

or is it milsim ive heard ppl use that term

[midnight tiger]

Dishonored just bored me. I'd rather stealth in ghost recon wildlands or something

[sand fiber]

do not i am not ready to discuss whether stalker qualifies as an imsim or not

[spring abyss]

Wildlands 🤢

[midnight tiger]

No, milsim is shit like ARMA and insurgency

[hazy helm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/579474912092094505/1074403932052389989/caption-6_1.gif

[turbid current]

idk i feel immersion in Stalker more than most games, im invested when i play

[midnight tiger]

Don't expect a neco arc simp to enjoy wildlands xD

[hazy helm]

Insurgency isnt milsim silly man

silly silly little child

[midnight tiger]

It's semi-milsim

[turbid current]

anyway

[midnight tiger]

Step above battlefield, step below arma

[spring abyss]

Wildlands 🤢

[turbid current]

my job has ended, im going home cya

[midnight tiger]

And yes I'm making up genres

[spring abyss]

Hollywood shooter that is even worse then cod 🤢

[hazy helm]

Stalker is a action exploration game,not a milsim

[sand fiber]

bye

[hazy helm]

Wildlands had so much talent and love put behind it,a shame it sucks

[midnight tiger]

It's a shame the sequel sucked*

[spring abyss]

It shouldn't be called ghost recon in the first place

[sand fiber]

stalker is a half-failed imsim which design is undecipherable by monkey brains like ours

[midnight tiger]

The engine is held together with duct tape, vodka, and Slavic magic

[hazy helm]

the sequel had no love or talent put behind it,but Wildlands?it has flashes of what made Ghost Recon good,only to be squashed by the ubisoft monkey formula

Ground Branch is more faithful to Ghost Recon and its a online only Early Acess Co-op Terrorist Hunt game

[spring abyss]

Ghost recon is about seals without seals license, advanced warfare was so good, even future soldier is good but new ones are just open world cods mixed with farcry boringness

[hazy helm]

sorry,the only good Ghost Recon is Ghost Recon 1

[autumn shale]

based

[spring abyss]

I like the classic ones too but i like the other titles

[midnight tiger]

Imagine unironically saying those 2 are good lol

They were scripted af

[autumn shale]

I sorta enjoyed the PC versions of Advanced Warfighter 1 and 2 though

[midnight tiger]

I played the hell out of 2

[autumn shale]

the only version of 2 I've ever played was the 6th gen version 💀

[spring abyss]

That thing about being deployed deeply in the warfare zones behind the enemy to do black ops missions is just like delta force but the squad is not braindead

Indeed the squad is really good

[hazy helm]

the mods for GR1 are also quite good

[spring abyss]

The pc advanced warfare is about urban warfare mostly and he did it well

[spring abyss]

I never played, just like df i only enjoy the vanilla

[autumn shale]

I miss when Rainbow Six was about actual counterterrorism instead of cartoonish characters duking it out

[hazy helm]

[spring abyss]

NO

[midnight tiger]

Rainbow six Vegas 2 is GOATed

[spring abyss]

Today r6 is tatical cs

[hazy helm]

I will make an exception for the Vegas series

[spring abyss]

Kids that skipped the r6 raven shield 🤢

[midnight tiger]

After high school I had 2 games and no internet for awhile. Skate 3 and Vegas 2

Could just be nostalgia but I love both

[spring abyss]

Vegas seires is fvcking broken

Worst respawn ever made by a human being

The hit box is terrible

The guns shoot beans

That game sucks

[midnight tiger]

"Stalker isn't broken"
1 hour later
"Vegas is broken" xD

[spring abyss]

Stalker hitbox is not broken
Stalker don't have a broken respawn
Stalker is not made by the bugsoft

[autumn shale]

My issue with Vegas games is that they're stripped of almost all the precise squad commands and freedom. You're just in quite linear levels, with very buggy AI, clunky weaponry and with a squad you cannot command whatsoever that has the AI of a rock

[spring abyss]

That's bc you didn't saw the lockdown then

[autumn shale]

I played it, it was a bad experience to me
refunded immediately

[spring abyss]

If the ai is braindead, reduce the commands is better to only those that work

[midnight tiger]

Enemy spawns are broken lol

[spring abyss]

The friendly ai in vegas is good, at least is big improvement from lockdown

[spring abyss]

They only spawn a limited number of enemies, you can walk the whole map but if you didn't kill some enemies the game will softlock you until you killed then, how this is not broken?

R6 vegas is a psp game on pc nothing more then this

[midnight tiger]

What? I was just talking about how often enemies spawn right on top of you in STALKER

Vanilla ofc most of the mods fixed that

[spring abyss]

Right on top of you?????
Only in portals where is scripted and the game warn that this will happen

While r6 vegas is just broken

[midnight tiger]

You can't honestly tell me you play STALKER and never had enemies literally spawn on top of you

[spring abyss]

Very rare situations on mods

[midnight tiger]

Did you play vanilla?

[spring abyss]

Theres no point in this comparison, in stalker is rarely bug while r6 vegas is a gameplay broken mechanic from the psp to keep a good performance that they never fixed while ported for the pc

[midnight tiger]

As buggy as it was I beat SHoC vanilla lol

[spring abyss]

Looks like more then you

[midnight tiger]

Well my original point was that you are so quick to defend stalker but criticize everything else lol

[spring abyss]

Dude, you got literally no point in your critics

[midnight tiger]

You're literally denying that enemies spawning on top of you exists in STALKER LOL. No point in having this discussion

[spring abyss]

How when i literally say that is a bug?

Again, bc you clearly is not understanding

One thing is a bug, other thing is a broken mechanic on a awful port that devs never cared to fix

[midnight tiger]

Honestly it's hard to follow how you are typing, to begin with

[spring abyss]

Have a point to argue is good beginning 😎👍

[midnight tiger]

I mean of we are going to just argue in circles using fallacy then I shouldn't have started to begun with lol

[spring abyss]

"Fallacy bc im literally use only a bug as my point"

[hazy helm]

I have never had enemies spawning on top of me skill issue
Or you are using mods

[midnight tiger]

Strawmanning lol

[spring abyss]

It happened to me once in dark valley, but it was not on top, was a-life bug that a squad spawning right with me

[midnight tiger]

Most of the mods actually fix it, "online exclusion radius"

[spring abyss]

@hazy helm FIX

[hazy helm]

You have clearly not played any Shadows Addon or AMK based mod

[spring abyss]

FIX

Oh may

Fix

[midnight tiger]

Most of the mods I played*

[hazy helm]

Besixes

I was talking vanilla

😎

[midnight tiger]

Now you're trolling 🤣

[hazy helm]

no

[midnight tiger]

I was responding to you mentioning mods

[hazy helm]

Ho,that I know,I was just saying when I said ai never once had enemies or stalker spawn on top of me I was talking vanilla

[midnight tiger]

🧢 🧢🧢

[hazy helm]

Mods like OGSR have this funny thing where they may or may not spawn a horde of mutants behind you when going thru levels so

If you ever went to cordon and a swarm of 12-15 dogs came from behind as soon as you spawn,yhe

An acquired taste

[amber tendon]

As soon as I read that I was on level transition to agroprom and a horde of boars spawned

I should stop reading

[spring abyss]

Rostok mustant invasion in lost alpha be like

[midnight tiger]

🤔🧐

[hazy helm]

[vernal magnet]

looks like they baited you today bro

[hazy helm]

Nha I play NLC rn
Meaning the gank squads are all in the map when you travle

I hate,the tushkano gank squads and the cat trios

Sneaky buggers

[vernal magnet]

always those damn cats

[static compass]

Anyone ever buy anything from that final boss site?

I just have a thing about getting stuff from super small stores like that lol

[sleek tundra]

Hmm, today I'm going to criticize Anomaly in a western-based channel

• clueless

[hazy helm]

get on the line youre late

You don't show up anymore trashcan

Wassup with that?

[midnight tiger]

Anomaly bad

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[sleek tundra]

He knows me

[sleek tundra]

Took a general break from stalker, playing other games like deus ex and fallout

Is Jester still mocking me for "quitting" NLC 7?

[hazy helm]

So,you stopped playing the same games to go play the other games you playing

[hazy helm]

I think he forgot

Speaking of

[dry imp]

more like ASSomaly

[sleek tundra]

He didn't, he mocks me 24/7 on other servers

[hazy helm]

I need to get back on NLC since I restarted it on Author

[hazy helm]

Im only on C-Con so

[sleek tundra]

Where are you rn in NLC?

[dry imp]

the hell is nlc

[midnight tiger]

Sounds based

[sleek tundra]

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

[hazy helm]

I cleared out the base when I restarted bc it felt easy

[sleek tundra]

Easy? My god, NLC has truly broke you

[hazy helm]

Bro there was no helicopter,hoe can I have fun?

Anyway

Ill have yi do everything from the beggining now but I know ehat to do so

It shouldnt be THAT hard

its called charatcer development

[dry imp]

what is nlc

[sleek tundra]

So, NLC good not bad???

[hazy helm]

NLC good,but also bad

[sleek tundra]

You're not ready for this talk, boy

[hazy helm]

Grow up a little boy then we talk

[sleek tundra]

Elaborate

[dry imp]

"grow up a little boy?"

[hazy helm]

I dont trust tampico to not get filtered by the first quest

[dry imp]

am i supposed to a raise a child for this conversation

[sleek tundra]

To be fair, 95% of players here are going to get filtered by the first quest too

[dry imp]

wdym filtered

[sleek tundra]

This isn't an exaggeration since a good chunk of people here legitimately have trouble with the vanilla games and anomaly/gamma

[sleek tundra]

Quit

[dry imp]

oh

[midnight tiger]

It's sad but unsurprising

[dry imp]

who has trouble with the vanilla games? they're pretty easy

[sleek tundra]

Look who's talking, the westerner

[hazy helm]

It has so many bizarre and interesting choices that force the player into uncomfortable situations,its undeniably good,it has new good content and good mechanics making good use of them
But it's also painful,its like the game activelly tries to stop you from playing and experiencing it,i so not know how youre supposed to go thru it without using the spawn menu has a safety net bc jt also has a degree of bullsh*t

[stark plover]

I haven't touched NLC in like a month

[midnight tiger]

🇺🇸

[hazy helm]

We all have those times

[stark plover]

too many other mods that have my attention.

[sleek tundra]

Yeah, the bullsh#t is quite noticeable. Enemies not spawning artifacts even though they're SUPPOSED to do that, Sidorovich leaving for 2 days, etc

[sleek tundra]

Like?

[midnight tiger]

Inb4 you insults every mod he posts lol

[sleek tundra]

Go on @ancient glen

[hazy helm]

But its such an interesting and rich mod to play,it beckons you sweetly,I cant stop playing I need to see waht else I missed

[stark plover]

RTTZ, NS 2016

[sleek tundra]

I'm not that bad, the only mod I trust despise is Anomaly, and even that could be tolerable with Old World or Gamma

[stark plover]

I'm used to it

[midnight tiger]

Saying you're not bad makes me assume you're bad lol

[sleek tundra]

That's good, we need more NS enjoyers here

[sleek tundra]

I said I'm not "that" bad

[midnight tiger]

[hazy helm]

Anyway I need to go,do you want me to recommend you some games trashcan?

[sleek tundra]

Sure

I think you recommended me some before but I forgot to check

[hazy helm]

Ill ping you in the STUC server with a list
Tell me your thoughts if you decide to play them

[midnight tiger]

Cap lol

[autumn shale]

Sdalker

[sleek tundra]

👍

[blissful bluff]

I'm sure there's a mod for CoP that makes it coop

I don't see why there won't be a mod for S2 to be coop as its gonna have multiplayer support it shouldn't be hard to do just create a custom server that mods the single player story coop

Like Half life with the SVEN Coop mod

Instead of recruiting Ais just have 4 friends play with u instead

[midnight tiger]

That's what I figure. It does make sense there is no co-op on normal release as the isolation is a part of the atmosphere

[hazy helm]

there isnt

there are projects

most of them,end in disaster

and sadness

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-otacon-laughing-laugh-metal-gear-gif-26371102

[midnight tiger]

Well it might help that it's a new engine

[hazy helm]

my stance will always be the same,dont take things for granted,you dont even know if the Mod Tools will be good and you are already predicting a coop mode

dont take mods for granted,especially

[midnight tiger]

Uh, I said it might help, not predicting anything

[nimble cipher]

Paradox#7185 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[midnight tiger]

I'm not retyping that lol

[hazy helm]

I can read it no worries

[hazy helm]

and the "strenght" of Xray is that you can bend it to your will,UE is a very closed off engine to the point you cant reverse engenier it bc they dont package x86 binaries
as I said
for modding in UE it all comes down to the possibilities the developers give you,Im not even sure you can make modifications to the engine with modding tools when it comes to that engine

[midnight tiger]

Which is why I mentioned that it could make some things worse, that's actually the first thought that came to my head when I saw unreal. What happens to a-life and all that and will it be good or bad

[hazy helm]

they have promised Mod support but dont expect a degree of openness like the OG games

[midnight tiger]

Let alone modding*

[hazy helm]

you can implement an AI system like A-Life to Unreal,no problem,its not exclusive to Xray,it all depends on the implementation of the AI,Iassanev is working on it so I trust him

Iassanev is the guy that made A-Life

[autumn shale]

yeh, hopefully. I hope it turns out well

[midnight tiger]

Indeed

[blissful bluff]

Ai development is very hard but if the guy who created a life is working on the new a life I'm sure it will be better than the last

[turbid current]

Paradox still here aye

[devout canyon]

Maybe no more AI going through walls to kill their targets quickly in S2

[turbid current]

through fences 🤡

[hazy helm]

the only place where this happened to me wasnt even in the games
it was in NLC

ez kill

[turbid current]

just walk straight thru nyeew

[midnight tiger]

Ayyyyyeeeee

I'm no lifing it today

How are you my freedom brother

[turbid current]

Pretty good, im about the watch the stalker movie actually lmao wbu

[midnight tiger]

Just screwing around on discord, probably gonna game shortly

I've been trying to find a decent subbed version of it lol

[cosmic schooner]

If only there was a game adaptation of "roadside picnic" that would be so cool

[midnight tiger]

🤔🧐

[hazy helm]

Into the Radius is very strong Strugatsky-like
not at all Stalker

[autumn shale]

Roadside picnic is a great book honestly, so is the 1970s film

[blissful bluff]

Wdym bro they literally stop shooting when u sit in a bush

[cosmic schooner]

Im still reading through it, I've never watched the movie although I probably will

[vernal magnet]

Yea both pieces are phenomenal. After i played STALKER back in the day I fell inlove with both. STALKER introduced me to so much culture

[vernal magnet]

please do. highly recommend. you can find the whole movie on youtube with subtitles as well

[sterile hedge]

ain't that the movie with like 5 whole reshoots with half the actors dying from rad poisoning later

[midnight tiger]

Uh ya 😅

[blazing compass]

Waiting for this stupid pys storm to hit.

[sterile hedge]

Still better than every modern AAA movie combined

[vernal magnet]

Yea, fun fact the original film reel was "sabotaged" allegedly. Tarkovsky had to remake the entire movie

screen stills exist from the original cut and have an algae green and blue discoloration. But everything was totally different

[vernal magnet]

eating tourist delight for the millionth time under the cover of shelter be like https://tenor.com/view/alvin-cailan-cooking-tasty-ok-okay-gif-26440696

[hazy helm]

it was more of a dispute beetween his camera man and tarkovsky himself,as well as tarkovskys perfectionism

[blazing compass]

Currently playing anomaly rn, as military. So I'm just sitting at HQ.

[hazy helm]

how sad

[blazing compass]

[vernal magnet]

I say allegedly because it was known the Kodak film type he was using had a known defect and its unclear if that or foul play was the ultimate outcome

[vernal magnet]

[blazing compass]

I need to head to the damn anomalous field & plant a scanner.

[vernal magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-dwight-quarantine-hazmat-gif-23086541 @blazing compass

[blazing compass]

First a pys storm then a damn emission.

[blazing compass]

TRUE.

[dry imp]

the true milsim

[blazing compass]

Fr. Currently omw to the anomalous field & I took out a pack of dogs & a controller.

[blazing compass]

are stalker anomaly screenshots allowed in #📸┃screens_and_videos?

[spring abyss]

Anything related to stalker is allowed there including mods

[blazing compass]

Oh epic.

[spring abyss]

You're welcome

[finite dragon]

It costs a dollar to post Anomaly screenshots

[blazing compass]

😱

[tawny shale]

Who receives the dollar?

[dry imp]

yes but i will make fun of you

[dry imp]

me

[spring abyss]

the dollar goes to the neco arc foundation to help homeless cats to keep homeless bc the corruption don't let the money help them

[autumn shale]

About the convo from yesterday about featured areas

[sand fiber]

stalker corporation

[autumn shale]

yeah, you're right. Looks like all areas from previous games might be in. Rewatched the trailers and looked at materials

Dark Valley, Cordon, Yantar, Pripyat, NPP, Swamps, Zaton, Brain Scorcher, Red Forest, Army Warehouses etc. and possibly more have already been shown it seems

[amber tendon]

The money goes to people

[sand fiber]

to what people

[autumn shale]

the right people

[amber tendon]

the left people

[autumn shale]

the upper people

[amber tendon]

But here is a catch, the right people aren't right and the left people have nothing left

[spring abyss]

give the money to me

[amber tendon]

Buro-nyaaaa~

[spring abyss]

Dori dori dori

[amber tendon]

Come here pwetty boy

[spring abyss]

[amber tendon]

you played melty blood by any chance?

[solid dome]

Isn't Iassenev still doing war duties?

[cyan canopy]

I still have nightmare about that cat

[hazy helm]

Possibly,he's still the chief AI designer however and has been since before the war,he started around 2020 if I remember rigtt

[edgy turret]

Hi I have a question. Should I play Call of Chernobyl as my first Stalker? I have never played it before.

[hazy helm]

You should,its the first released game and the best game to start the series from

For newcomers its recommended to play vanillla their first playthrus

[edgy turret]

I understand correctly that this is a mod that combines 3 versions of the game into one right?

[hazy helm]

There is no such mod

It doesnt exist

The games all use different engine iterations

[glossy blade]

Vasim confuses Shadow and Call

Or just being GigaChad

[hazy helm]

I only speak the truth

[sleek tundra]

Vasim, he said Call of Chernobyl

[hazy helm]

Call of Chernobyl is a freeplay mod,it doesnt combine the 3 games together

[sleek tundra]

Don't, start with SHADOW of chernobyl first

[sleek tundra]

I meant you confused CoC with SoC

[hazy helm]

it connects the maps from all games but that's all there is to it
Stalker is more than shooting galleries with no substance

[sleek tundra]

Shooting galleries with the occasional meme and bug

[hazy helm]

I did not,bc there is no mod that combines the games
It doesnt exist

Its not CoC

CoC is different

freeplay mods are different

[spring abyss]

Yep i got all games

[amber tendon]

Started with guilty gear and was wondering if there are more good fighting games, are they good?

[spring abyss]

Yeah they are balanced in their unbalanced existence

You got infinite combos
A big variation of small hitbox characters
A cat
A cat that smoke
Some characters got a really small hp
It's just crazy

#💬┃en_offtop

[sly matrix]

quick! i need a ''that will be 20 dollars'' soundclip

[spring abyss]

[blissful bluff]

True if it combined the games it would have all 3 story lines

[hazy helm]

there is no way to combaine all 3 games bc of how differently they play and work

[blissful bluff]

And also it would be able to be completed by themselves as u will play a random loner and not strelok, scar or major

Unless u have task to kill all 3 and then progress each story and I can see them all being played with CoP mechanics story and quest lines are easy to implement as they do not depend on game mechanics

[spring abyss]

Fallout tales of two wastelands be like

[blissful bluff]

Fallout 4 done it

[hazy helm]

we both know the reasons why you cant do the same for the 3 games so Im not gonna waste time

[blissful bluff]

They're all set in the zone just different fragments and timelines

[spring abyss]

They already got big standalone mods with the soc campaign like dead air, merge all three could be real

[blissful bluff]

But u don't actually realise the timelines unless u really pay attention

Dead air is not SoC campaign

Dead air is it's own thing Radiophobia does a good job at remastering SoC

[spring abyss]

Mostly it is

[hazy helm]

you will never be able to get one simple game with all 3 games inside,you'll need to change them,at which point,you are no longer playing the games youre playing something different
you cant simply remake CS or SOC in COP and let everything be unchanged,its easier and better to leave it as it is
its dumb to want to merge everything,there is no need to

[spring abyss]

I'm not saying to keep soc on his engine, just to port the quests and redone their in a different engine, and this is very possible

[blissful bluff]

There aren't even any factions in dead air its just mutant hunting

[blissful bluff]

Radiophobia does that

[spring abyss]

You really got stuck in the dead air ain't?

[hazy helm]

you are no longer playing the same game,you are playing an approximation of the game,and at that point,just go play the actual game,its better

[blissful bluff]

Dead air is literally what it is "DEAD"

[hazy helm]

Dead Air and Radiophobia 3 both suck so

[blissful bluff]

Only coz ur bad at them

[spring abyss]

A mod is a mod, but say that is not possible to merge the games is not that true, just merfe the quests on a fork engine

[hazy helm]

I play NLC7 so this is not the reason

[blissful bluff]

Radiophobia 3 is harder than the original but it is the same game

The only thing I thought sucked was how the Ak iron sights weren't centred

Had to aim to 1 side to shoot straight

[hazy helm]

what I said is you will never be able to merge all the games on one,and leave them as it is
theyre far too diferent for that
youd need to tweak too many stuff and at that point you wont be playing the same game anymore
at which point why would you do it in the first place?
all of the games already have engine forks and mods that patch and fix engine issues and bugs,and its not like from Xray1.5 and Xray1.6 there was a big leap

like I can understand wanting to bring Daggerfall to the new Creation Engine,but this idea,not so much

[blissful bluff]

Says the guy who dislike VSO mod

[spring abyss]

Why people play anomaly?
Last day and stuff?
Who knows, but that it's possible to merge all quests it is

[blissful bluff]

Nah Daggerfall would be a whole different game

[hazy helm]

these are Freeplay mods that arent even tangentially related to what the original offers,they arent related in any way,they are very different

[blissful bluff]

But tbf I enjoy oblivion over skyrim so

[blissful bluff]

Anomoly is bad for ppl that are new to stalker

[spring abyss]

This is taking it out of context, they are a bunch of weird story mods that people play, just like sgm. One stalker mod with all quests and all maps of course would be played. Don't be a mod hater vasim

🧱

[hazy helm]

these are story mods
but what you told me are freeplay mods
and besides,these at the end of the day are MODS
not the original games

[blissful bluff]

When I play anomoly I don't think about story or anything it's a RPG where u create ur own story

[hazy helm]

I am not a mod hater,I am simply stating a fact

[blissful bluff]

That's why I play GAMMA coz it's just a glorified Anomoly

[spring abyss]

This is completely taking the discussion out of context.

[blissful bluff]

No real goal CNPP is just there for the memes

[hazy helm]

you tell me,a story that recreates all the beats from past games can be done,and yes it can,but they'll never be the original games nor be a merge of the games

[blissful bluff]

That's why I like GAMMA tho because it's stalker but it's not at the same time it's just a game where u build ur own story in the same universe

[hazy helm]

they cant recreate the gameplay,the visuals,everything,all in one package

[blissful bluff]

I don't think he's asking for thst

[hazy helm]

they will be mods
sure they will be played,but they dont represent the games that they are based on and at the end of the day we ended up at where we began,no true merge

[blissful bluff]

He's asking for what I'm asking just to play all 3 campaigns even if its not like the originals just the quests in general would be fun

With the voice acting and everything

[spring abyss]

The quests will be there, the maps and all on a new engine is the same thing that says that a remake is not game just bc they grass is less green dude

[hazy helm]

this was not what the conversation is about really,from the start,and tbh,its better and more healthy to create a new story from what you want rather than painstakingly recreate whats already there

[blissful bluff]

True but I'd enjoy playing all 3 campaigns in anomoly just so I can have all the mods

Instead of using outdated mods that don't make it like how I want it

[spring abyss]

That's the thing

But anomaly is still bad

[hazy helm]

you say this while blinding yourself to the obvious fact that the gameplay isnt a shared thing in all 3 games,they are wildly different,we both know this,SoC plays nothing like CS and CS plays nothing like COP and COP plays nothing like SOC, and from the beggining we were talking about a game merge,what youre talking about isnt what we are talking about

[hazy helm]

bro we literally still mod CoC,we cant be talking about outdated

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-shocked-shocking-gif-14682087

[spring abyss]

???????

[hazy helm]

COC is better than Anomaly

[blissful bluff]

Personally I think CS was a bad game

[hazy helm]

die

[blissful bluff]

It was tho yeah it was the only one that was mainly English but I enjoyed SoC alot more

[spring abyss]

What blind dude? You can make a big warfare like map without cut the quests, anomaly itself do this you're just bein mad with the whole idea bc you don't like it at all

[hazy helm]

CS is a good game

[blissful bluff]

Nah

It literally felt like DLC with a bad Crosshair 🤣🤣

[spring abyss]

theres a dude here who called cs and cop a addon

[hazy helm]

Sylky the only way a true merge is created is the MCC way,where all it is is a UI that lets you download the games separately and initialize them,not a bad thing tho

[hazy helm]

you say this when CoP adds less to the series and is more of a DLC than CS

how ironic

[blissful bluff]

CoP is it's own think but CS is definitely like a DLC the story was very short only thing I liked was limansk

[spring abyss]

Gameplay is the same as cop

Cop is the cs dlc

[blissful bluff]

Nah the gunplay and crosshair was totally different

The crosshair actually got reverted back to SoC crosshair and the leaning wasn't so quick and clunky

[spring abyss]

Also, cop is really short and got very few maps compared to cs

[hazy helm]

CS gameplay is different to COP gameplay sylky did you ACTUALLY play it?

[blissful bluff]

CS hipfire was the only way to win gunfights

[spring abyss]

You got too many things to do in cs

[spring abyss]

Vasim is mad today, imma go find something else to do

Be chill

[hazy helm]

CoP adds very little to the lore and story and the only good things it changes is the weapon balancing
its a very small dlc sized game to CS

[hazy helm]

[blissful bluff]

It's the reason I love pripyat outskirts so much

[spring abyss]

I'm talking about the gunplay

Not the quests and stuff

[blissful bluff]

Outskirts is more pripyat than actual pripyat

The layout is more like the real thing and more tscticool

I loved CoP only thing I disliked was emissions

[spring abyss]

Is boring

I wish that cop got more close quarters fights there

Theres so many buildings where monolith troops could be to shot you

With sniper rifles, gauss, rpgs

But it just a big empty map

[blissful bluff]

Eliminate the bandit base in yanov that's very close quarters

[spring abyss]

I'm talking about outkirts

Out of the main quests you got almos no side quests at all

[blissful bluff]

Idk what u mean I had alot of encounters inside buildings

[spring abyss]

You got more action wandering in yanov and zaton then the outkirts

[blissful bluff]

Lies

[spring abyss]

In yanov theres three bandit outpost

[blissful bluff]

I still didn't find oasis

[spring abyss]

And one of them is not quest related

You can wandering around and find some bandits doing their stuff

Is fun

[blissful bluff]

Which I funny coz the I know where the oasis is in real life

[spring abyss]

Pripyat outskirts is boring af

[spring abyss]

🧱

[hazy helm]

How

Even a babe could do it

I do not like how the CoP maps are laid out at all

[blissful bluff]

I know where it is I just didn't go to it as I was more focused on the main quests and then I got trapped in that building with strelok and couldn't do it

[hazy helm]

There something to it that feels very artificial and self contained

[blissful bluff]

That's just ur perception

[spring abyss]

How about you play the game again?

[blissful bluff]

No PC 😭

[spring abyss]

[hazy helm]

how informative to the conversation at hand,you totally owned me!

@spring abyss you gonna make new maps?

[spring abyss]

No

Too much trouble

And i hate every fanmade map appart from l.a

[hazy helm]

youll hate mine then!

[spring abyss]

They just like a bunch of assets flex up with tape

[hazy helm]

Ill make you play my bunker and lab levels

[spring abyss]

You need to know maps got two veery different layers

The assets layers and the physical layer

The physical is just white

[hazy helm]

[spring abyss]

The level editor sdk probably should do this better

But it's away outdated

That's why people only do those tiny maps

[hazy helm]

You ever seen Labyrinth?

[spring abyss]

But i was testing once to plot the whole map in blender

[hazy helm]

I mean its russian so probably not...

[spring abyss]

Nah, russian people do black magic to mod stalker

90% of the tutorial content is made by them

My closest modder friend is russian

[hazy helm]

Rammaken is the only non russian technomancer that is able to do it
That I know of

[spring abyss]

I dunno how is easy is to make a map being physical but i know that is really hard to make a consistent pathfind

Too many errors and you need to test in game

If theres a rock in the npc path they already refuses to move

[quaint niche]

i did undervolt

[spring abyss]

The easy way is to make a new spawn where is more easy to move him

[quaint niche]

now my pc won't overheat anymore

[spring abyss]

But them is the new spawn problems

[spring abyss]

What?

[quaint niche]

so @hazy helm helped me to download and install mods

so overheated

like 80-83 degrees

i am sad what are games like stalker shadow of chernobyl?

[spring abyss]

Try lost alpha

[quaint niche]

sadly enough i didn't find these mods when i first played it

i was very pleased with his help

[quaint niche]

oh ok 🙂

[quaint niche]

what except that?

[spring abyss]

Oblivion lost remake

[quaint niche]

OGSR?

i liked that game LOT with graphics but it was pain(i mean combat)

[spring abyss]

Oblivion lost remake

[quaint niche]

i will do both of them sure

[spring abyss]

Good

[quaint niche]

what is third variant?

[spring abyss]

Imma go do my morning workout

[spring abyss]

I dunno, ogse maybe

[quaint niche]

i do too. with dumbells

[spring abyss]

Cya

[quaint niche]

3kg 40 lift per day per hand

[spring abyss]

Cool 👍

[quaint niche]

yes i know it is small as a s8IT

[spring abyss]

Nah, it's ok

[quaint niche]

but then my hands strain

[quaint niche]

i am 16

[spring abyss]

The weight is not important, is how you do the exercise

[quaint niche]

like what.

[spring abyss]

Like do the exercise right

[quaint niche]

this slow mode is worst feature ever/

[spring abyss]

You can lift 100kgs but if you do it in the wrong way theres no gain at all

[quaint niche]

and what varies the quality of lift

what determines and what is criteria

[spring abyss]

This is a topic for the #💬┃en_offtop but I'm really busy rn sorry

I talk with you later

👍

[quaint niche]

bye it is been pleasure to talk to you

[dry imp]

avoided the question

[quaint niche]

nah that is ok

[spring abyss]

[blissful bluff]

Can you actually make new maps for stalker?

[spring abyss]

Yep

[blissful bluff]

Ooo when I get pc imma make new maps

[hazy helm]

Good luck

[blissful bluff]

I'll try my best honestly I think there should be a map inbetween great swamps and cordon

[autumn shale]

Wasn't Darkscape supposed to be there?

[blissful bluff]

Naj

[hazy helm]

no thats beetween the dark valley and cordon

Darkscape was cut along with cars

[spring abyss]

Why not port l.a to a freeplay mod?

[blissful bluff]

What is l.a

[spring abyss]

Lost alpha

[hazy helm]

It was supposed to be car chase sequence where you escaped the military

[blissful bluff]

I never played it

[hazy helm]

[autumn shale]

yup

[spring abyss]

I think dark escpae is from dark valley to cordon

[blissful bluff]

I know why cars weren't added

[hazy helm]

That Is what I said

[spring abyss]

[blissful bluff]

Just go into an anomoly and u get launched to space it doesn't kill u

[spring abyss]

Xray got skill issue on weight mechanics

[autumn shale]

because X Ray's physics are wonky

[spring abyss]

I car instead fly should be crushed

[quaint niche]

who will give me walkthrough for lost alpha?

[spring abyss]

You can find it on yt fren

[autumn shale]

You're the lost alpha now, find a way yourself

[spring abyss]

Lost in lost alpha

[autumn shale]

Lost alpha lost in lost alpha

[spring abyss]

[autumn shale]

Oblivion lost alpha

[edgy turret]

Why? Which one should I start with?

[sleek tundra]

Shadow of chernobyl

[hazy helm]

Like we said,Shadow of Chernobyl
Pure vanilla or with ZRP mod if youre paranoid

[vernal magnet]

Im noticing Lost Alpha seems to be the most popular mod currently trending. Seeing alot of visual mod packs posted on facebook and such

Always was one of my favorite mod projects for stalker. I feel like Priboi Story doesn't get talked about enough these days and was one of the great original mods

[solid prism]

Maybe it's popular in another Channel but not in this one.In this one we're the only 2 people who like Lost Alpha.

[hazy helm]

OLR better than LADC,I do need to try the old version of LA tho

[vernal magnet]

yea i wasnt a big fan of the LA cutscenes but the rest was dope. OLR is a sweet mod too

[vernal magnet]

One of the acceptable mod amongst purists lol

[edgy turret]

Thank tou very much for help ❤️

[vernal magnet]

always play them in order of release, Shadow of chernobyl, then Clear Sky, then Call of Pripyat

then go crazy with the spicy mods if you like

[midnight tiger]

I mean CoP is the most accessible for new people but you'll definitely miss all the story

[vernal magnet]

how is the most accessible over SOC?

[hazy helm]

CoP is overall the easiest and most worry free game of the trilogy so many falsely claim its the best to easy newcomers into the series

[vernal magnet]

I would argue its less approachable because SOC is less free roam oriented and easier to follow. As well as the basic gameplay tutorials with it being the first game

in the end any game in the trilogy is probably equally approachable

[midnight tiger]

True

[hazy helm]

SoC is a newbie's beat bet bc jts the basis and source of much of the lore,since,its the first game,you will be taught the basis of gameplay,mechanics and story/lore so games like CS,CoP and hopefully HoC can expand and build on top of that

[vernal magnet]

Yea the lore alone helps to not get lost and understand your surroundings

my all time favorite mod for SOC is Autumn Aurora 2.1, i usually swap the character models back for the OG ones but the graphics and gameplay is soooo good.

[vernal magnet]

Here's a solid question not brought up very often, what's everyone's favorite Quest in shadow of chernobyl? For me i find myself drawn to grabbing Borov's key before Lab X18. Clearing the bandits from the large factory never gets old. And shotgunning everyone at the top of the stairwell outside Borov's office? Absolute bliss lol

[midnight tiger]

Other than all the labs, Grouse's quest. Just captures the zone for me

[vernal sluice]

Pripyat breakthrough.

[vernal magnet]

I love that section. Also sad how quickly it feels like we go through Pripyat in SOC

Radwinds PT2 kicking up when entering CNPP level at the end while watching burning rubble and choppers flying overhead. Gives me chills thinking about it

[midnight tiger]

Ya that's pretty good

[midnight tiger]

Ya, unless you make a point to explore, it's just a means to get to the CNPP

[vernal magnet]

yea, especially the stadium. straight SPRINTED through that lol. RPGs and mutants all over the dang place

[midnight tiger]

Same my first playthrough lol. It's a painful place to loiter around

Monolith out the A hole

Cardan was drunk all week long

[vernal magnet]

people forget how the voice repetition glitch was so gnarly prior to v1.0005 patch that they wouldnt even finish the line before saying it again and again looool

Wolf bot is playing stalker clear sky? BASED

[solid dome]

Muhahahah

[solid dome]

He fired it up last year and let it idle for the I gots 500K hours on Steam flexing

Cheating in the most obvious way possible

[vernal magnet]

listening to Wasteland II theme for 500k hours is unironically a hard flex

[solid dome]

Wolf has to be kicked out of the club for being one stubborn wolf

[vernal magnet]

hard to kick a man out of an already burning barrel

[solid dome]

[cosmic schooner]

Damn the military REALLY did not want people near cordon

[vernal magnet]

Free AKs

I love playing ding dong ditch with the military checkpoint then run back to Cordon to hide in a house and listen to all the commotion outside hehehe

[cosmic schooner]

Free machine gun rounds more like, I just went north

[vernal magnet]

Some good loot in their base as well

[cosmic schooner]

Mb I'll try raiding the base tonight

[midnight tiger]

Honestly I loved those bugs. It was just funny to me idk

[midnight tiger]

They have pretty decent equipment but it's not TOO bad

[cosmic schooner]

They have obokans right?

[formal rapids]

How do you get out of lab x10 the door is locked i cant find another way out

Somone mesaage me please so i can send a picture because it doesnt allow me to take screenshots

anyone? Please?

The youtube tutorials tell you nothing

[vernal magnet]

If the door to the right of the room is stuck try a grenade at the bottom of the door

another glitch to open doors is to look right in the seam between the door and the wall and press G to drop your gun so it glitches inside the door forcing it open

unfortunately if that doesnt pan out you gotta reload an autosave or manual save

id recommend watching a walkthrough to ensure you have the correct door

[midnight tiger]

Honestly I can't remember. They might but it'll mostly be AKs

[cosmic schooner]

I think that they probably will, if there is spetsnaz

[sleek creek]

I can’t install stalker 2

[hazy helm]

its not released yet

of course you cant

[sleek creek]

[spring abyss]

[weary cairn]

Are there known issues streaming Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl in OBS?

If so, does anyone know a workaround? We're getting a black screen, but we have audio.

[spring abyss]

Should work fine

Try srp

Zrp*

[midnight tiger]

I didn't have any problems when I used OBS back in the day

[weary cairn]

Zrp?

[spring abyss]

Zone reclamation project

[midnight tiger]

You might have to mess with some settings to get OBS to work iirc

[spring abyss]

It can improve your experience but it's kinda lore break, but no much to make such big difference

They fix a lot of know issues

[weary cairn]

It's actually my wife streaming, and it's her first playthrough, so I'd like to keep it as vanilla as possible.

[prisma crystal]

Hi

[spring abyss]

Got it, so you have to check it out the obs itself

Also, you can try xbox gamebar

I think they got a streaming option

[weary cairn]

So far, it's the only game that's having a black screen. So, something weird is going on

[prisma crystal]

Stalker 1

[hazy helm]

Shadow of Chernobyl is the first entry to the Stalker series and trilogy

[spring abyss]

[solid dome]

Go to Steam, turn the valve at 1 o clock, go to the other room, turn the next valve until you hear "Shhhhhhh" sound. And wait.

[spring abyss]

The valve man will show up

The survivors spoke that he came close to you and say
"Open your mind"

[sleek creek]

dude what's the report it's like i'm telling you draw me an apple and you draw a pear

[hazy helm]

Shadow of Chernobyl IS stalker 1 idiot

[solid dome]

Liar. Valve had been repaired 2 weeks ago after another breakdown. Pipes were flushed. Systems intact.

[hazy helm]

[spring abyss]

Liar, theres no pipes, theres no half life 3, it's all a simulation

[sleek creek]

it's not

[hazy helm]

Stalker 2 is effectively Stalker 4
Stalker SoC is 1,Stalker CS is 2 and Stalker CoP is 3

[hazy helm]

very bad bait

[sleek creek]

🤦

[spring abyss]

[midnight tiger]

That's not very nice

[spring abyss]

You're not very nice

[midnight tiger]

I'm the nicest asshole you'll ever meet

[midnight tiger]

Stalker 1 mold game

[sleek creek]

Stalker 1 old game

[finite dragon]

I finally preordered stalker 2 today

it didnt take my money so I was initially concerned because I've never preordered anything before, but apparently they take it from you when its actually being sent
