I think she means that AI Seinfield on twitch

[sand fiber]

i have no idea what seinfield is tbh

[spark summit]

If you squint your eyes at the word "Seinfield", you see "F1NN5TER". NozAr likes to watch F1NN5TER.

[vernal magnet]

[rancid hornet]

hey any tips for getting past the cordon military base in clear sky? as soon as i go anywhere the turret or whatever mows me down

[nimble cipher]

Nitrosex#0250 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stark lynx]

Oh what we're not allowed to talk about it anymore ?

[spring abyss]

Go back to swamps, theres another route in the north

[solid dome]

Part known as the Holy Run. You need to act smart.. You literally have to do Matrix bullet dodging.

[hazy helm]

As soon as you spawn start running to your right side along the fence,youll find a toppled down tree and a break in the fence you can run into the hills from there

Run along the right side

[solid dome]

Run like hell, strafe, etc

[solid dome]

No, fools take this route. Stay on track.

[rancid hornet]

call me the king of fools then, but to me acting smart would be not getting frustrated spending multiple hours getting past the turret and just using the easier route

[hazy helm]

You can go the quick way,the intended way,or the longer more boring way which has you going back to the swamps and taking the northern entrance

[solid dome]

Hours?

Holy canolli, you don't need hours.

[rancid hornet]

it could take me hours. i am fairly skill challenged

[hazy helm]

Not really

[solid dome]

I am... speechless

[hazy helm]

@rancid hornet https://youtu.be/6WxmriSqAYM

[vernal magnet]

go back to the swamps and check your map. a new exit to the right is now available

[vernal magnet]

what did you get flagged for?

[stark lynx]

I shall dm you

[rancid hornet]

idk it probably wouldntve taken hours but it seemed like i was missing something, so i figured i'd ask. Turns out there is an easier way, so mission accomplished

[solid dome]

Nitrosex... What a savage name.

[solid dome]

Welcome to the chads.

[hazy helm]

so did you go thru the swamp or did you do the holy run?

[rancid hornet]

i went back through the swamp

[vernal magnet]

smart man

[vernal magnet]

all those years of GldSource Half Life taught me to master the wiggle and Jump + Crouch

[rancid hornet]

i dont see the point in using medkits bandages and time when theres a alternate easier route

[sleek tundra]

He's at the meme!

[spring abyss]

He can shot two guns, the ukraine military got psy abilities

[hazy helm]

Important thing being you got past it in the end

[sleek tundra]

Why half life?

You don't need wiggle + jump + crouch to win it

[vernal magnet]

thats where jump crouching became popularized years and years ago

[vernal magnet]

no you dont but it helps

[pseudo rivet]

Simple, don't get shot

[sleek tundra]

Never tested it since when I actually realized it exists, I was in a tight area

[gray lotus]

Can someone vouch for clear sky as a good game not worth skipping over? I started with CoP and just finished SoC but keep hearing about how CS is like the dark souls 2 of the trilogy

[finite dragon]

It's great just requires patience. 100% worth playing especially for the lore

It's a lot of people's favorites here but there's also a lot of masochist ill people here

[hazy helm]

yes,clear sky is a great game

[finite dragon]

Unpopular opinion here but SRP for a first time player makes the nade spam and bleeding less annoying, I may be crucified for this message

[gray lotus]

Cool cool. Go at it vanilla?

[finite dragon]

Vanilla or look into SRP to see if it's something you'd like but nothing else for your first time

[gray lotus]

Got it. Thanks!

[finite dragon]

It's an awesome game I did 60 some hours my first playthrough to roam everywhere and absorb lore and play around with the faction war stuff

[hazy helm]

install SRP for sure

tbh

[finite dragon]

nice a sane effing person

[hazy helm]

and Im the vanilla guy

[finite dragon]

My take on this is that if you're a long-time player and fan of STALKER, I get not wanting to install those but in 2023 and you're a first-time player, it would be hard to enjoy it as much without the QoL fixes. It made me personally appreciate the franchise more

[gray lotus]

ok cool definitely going with SRP then since it seems it's all bug fixes. Reduced grenade spam though, hmmmm I heard that was a hallmark experience of CS hahaha

[hazy helm]

yhea,play CS with only SRP

dont install optional mods SRP offers

base SRP

and if you have any questions about the game ask

any difficulties ping me

I will help you

[gray lotus]

Will do, thank you!

[finite dragon]

don't know there's still an absurd amount of nade spam even with srp lol

[sullen galleon]

People only hatr clear sky because of a short attention span, it's great after the swamps

[finite dragon]

i liked the swamps, might even be my favorite area

at least vibe wise

[midnight tiger]

Swamps is one of the best maps, however you feel about clear sky

[finite dragon]

it has a good cohesive vibe with a narrative and looks great graphically with all the dx fixings they used

[midnight tiger]

Could never get it to work so I can't say on the game itself

[pseudo rivet]

CS best game

[midnight tiger]

Buggy ass vanilla SHoc will always have a special place in my heart

[fathom idol]

STAND STRONG GSC! WE STAND WITH YOU!💯

[pseudo rivet]

[spring abyss]

Yeah i hate the spawm too

[outer marten]

Play clear sky

[pseudo rivet]

Dang bro, how are you not capable of dodging them or shooting them out of the air? Legitimate skill issue bro

[spring abyss]

Not enough boolets

[pseudo rivet]

Bullets ain't the issue, just use more guns

[sullen galleon]

Also why in tf would you start at CoP

[spring abyss]

Akms-74 is the only option

[pseudo rivet]

Doesn't exist

[midnight tiger]

Am I the only one unaffected by leaks, whether I see them personally or not

[fathom idol]

My apologies. I'm American. But fully support Ukraine!

[gray lotus]

Just got past the intro scene, playing it now!

[outer marten]

Ive played through CS 4 times since feb.

[spring abyss]

I don't care about spoilers at all

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but okay!

[gray lotus]

Was recommended by a friend

[midnight tiger]

The leaks won't change the fact I'm buying STALKER 2 LOL

[gray lotus]

Since it was "most polished"

[pseudo rivet]

I'm not buying HoC

[midnight tiger]

One of the few games I've considered pre-ordering

[pseudo rivet]

Because I already got it for free

[midnight tiger]

SHoC* you degenerate xD

[pseudo rivet]

Bro, no

[spring abyss]

@sullen galleon @outer marten whathell look those guys php, two sides of the same coin

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure what they would spoil, since it's just concept art

[spring abyss]

You ruined the game to him

[finite dragon]

lol its not the 15th yet, they have months to leak more stuff

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

To be fair, they're doing a better job promoting the game than GSC

[dry imp]

Zap and Skif team up with the anime looking guy from the trailer and fight Strelok who is in an insane rampage and kills the monolith

[finite dragon]

this is objectively true which is why I am conspiring that it's an inside job

[pseudo rivet]

Speaking of which, still busy with my wacky Vertigo thingy

The war has begun

[spring abyss]

#💬┃en_offtop ok let's stop this thing on the en_stalker

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, in that case

Tell me why the IL 86 is a bad weapon in full detail

[spring abyss]

I cant say about something that i never used

It's just jam to much

[pseudo rivet]

in full detail

[gray lotus]

In the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, the IL 86 is often considered a bad weapon for several reasons:

Low accuracy: The IL 86 has poor accuracy, making it difficult to hit targets at long range.

Heavy recoil: The IL 86 has significant recoil, which makes it difficult to control and slows down follow-up shots.

Slow rate of fire: The IL 86 fires slowly, which can be a disadvantage in situations where a quick burst of fire is needed.

High weight: The IL 86 is a heavy weapon, which can limit the player's mobility and stamina.

Overall, the IL 86 is often seen as a less desirable weapon compared to other options available in the game, such as assault rifles and sniper rifles, which offer better accuracy, lower recoil, and faster fire rates.

[sullen galleon]

Made by the British,
all you need to know

[spring abyss]

Copy and paste

[pseudo rivet]

Now, what makes it a good weapon

[sullen galleon]

I breaks quickly so you can switch to a better weapon

[gray lotus]

While the IL 86 is often considered a less desirable weapon in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, it still has some advantages that make it a viable option for some players:

High damage: The IL 86 is a powerful weapon that can deal significant damage to enemies, especially when used in short to medium ranges.

Large magazine capacity: The IL 86 has a large magazine capacity, allowing players to fire multiple shots without needing to reload as frequently.

Availability: The IL 86 is a fairly common weapon in the game, and ammunition for it can be found relatively easily, making it a good choice for players who prefer to use weapons that are widely available.

Customization: The IL 86 can be modified with various attachments, such as scopes and silencers, which can improve its accuracy and make it more effective in different situations.

Overall, while the IL 86 may not be the most versatile weapon in the game, it can still be a useful choice for players who prefer its high damage and large magazine capacity, and who are willing to work around its limitations.

[outer marten]

I wouldn't say it's a bad weapon, I do like the IL 86 as a transitional weapon from early game to mid game

[gray lotus]

ok I'm done

[pseudo rivet]

Nice copy/pasterino

[spring abyss]

Copy and paste

[gray lotus]

what do you mean, I poured my heart into those replies

[outer marten]

but after 10 rounds it jams more than a smucker's factory so i find something better

[sullen galleon]

Typical. A scientist copy/pasting.
Did you write your papers at the institute that way too?

[spring abyss]

Bruh

Someone will be fired

[sullen galleon]

[gray lotus]

It's called referencing, therefore it's my original thought basically

[pseudo rivet]

Can't wait for Strelok to be fired

[outer marten]

Did you site your sources

[spring abyss]

Noooo

[pseudo rivet]

Yeeees

[sullen galleon]

*Cite.
Typical, freedom can't spell again.

[outer marten]

LOL

Typical DOOTIER trying to show off his 'prowess' or whatever

[midnight tiger]

It's ok let them sit at the Bar and claim to protect the zone while we do the real work

[sullen galleon]

(Have sex with bloodsuckers in the bushes)

[outer marten]

Yeah, atleast I'm getting action

[sullen galleon]

Yeah? Maybe you'd be getting more action in the zone if you weren't too fat to leave base

[midnight tiger]

And I guarantee you those bloodsuckers are gonna obey daddy

[outer marten]

:( Don't make me explain how to subdue a bloodsucker again

[midnight tiger]

The irony here is palpable, coming from a dutyer

[outer marten]

See, you get it.

[spring abyss]

Freedom just leave their base to die

[nimble cipher]

Crash#0621 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sullen galleon]

Better yet, maybe Sidorovich would call your dog ass if you ever stop fuggin with that blind dog or controller your fuggin with,

[spring abyss]

Duty leave their base to kill freedom

[outer marten]

Look a dutyer broke the rules

[sullen galleon]

brb gonna kill myself

[finite dragon]

same

[midnight tiger]

And that's literally all yall do, while we hold the barrier

Fighting monolith and duty > fighting freedom and stray dogs

[gray lotus]

wait wait wait is/was Nimble a secret clear sky during SoC? This game takes places right after Strelok shuts off the brain scorcher right?

[spring abyss]

And kill mutants nests

[sullen galleon]

I thought he was

[spring abyss]

If we didn't save the agroprom the whole cordon/swamps/gsrbage would be compromised

[midnight tiger]

Ya I'm sure those dogs are really giving the zone trouble

[midnight tiger]

Yall did more harm than good lol

[spring abyss]

You didn't play cs

[midnight tiger]

[spring abyss]

While freedom was in dark valley loosing dozen of troops to low paid mercs

Check mate

[midnight tiger]

CS: the only game Duty did anything

[sullen galleon]

The only game Freedom did anything:

(There is none)

[spring abyss]

"The list are still empty"

[midnight tiger]

Ya holding off monolith while duty circle jerks doesn't count for anything

[sullen galleon]

I don't wanna hear it from the fencesitter

Loners punching air rn

[outer marten]

Crash how much do you hate freedom

[finite dragon]

freedom rocked in cop

[spring abyss]

If strelok don't do anything the entire freedom squad in the barrier is obliterated

[midnight tiger]

Ex-freedom...even if I was a straight loner, Freedom > dooty

[sullen galleon]

If it's so good why did you leave

[spring abyss]

And a bunch of dutyers are already enough to raid and kill the freedom leader, like, those guys are not even 10% of the duty force and are already enough to make a big trouble

[midnight tiger]

Strelok carries for either side

[midnight tiger]

Freedom isn't free

[spring abyss]

No one dies from the duty side in rostok

While freedom on army Warehouses......

[sullen galleon]

Ah so you're a coward

[outer marten]

I mean he isn't wrong there, only Hermit is truly free

[spring abyss]

Duty kill a entire freedom squad on the Warehouses on the first encounter like
Duty kill freedomers on their on ground without they even noticed them

[midnight tiger]

Not saying much considering yall don't do anything lol. Freedomers dying daily fighting monolith while dutyers can't see their PP from all the sitting around

P.S. I'll still shoot a dutyer in the face if he is in my way haha

[outer marten]

Yeah but Duty doesn't have Ashot and Yar taking the piss over the faction radio

[spring abyss]

Freedom be like
Loose their base to bandits

[outer marten]

The bandits have a banger of a faction radio its fine

[pseudo rivet]

Like, it's literally mentioned in SoC that Stalkers constantly ask Duty to fight mutants and such, but that they're too lazy to do it

In soc they are neutral

Freedom propaganda

[midnight tiger]

I was also gonna ask where the idea freedom and bandits are neutral comes from

[spring abyss]

[pseudo rivet]

Do they ever meet in SoC? Plenty of SoC stuff are still remnants of le buildos

Decompiling data while we out here fighting Monolith

[sullen galleon]

resorts to ad hom
Typical Freedom L

[outer marten]

From what I've seen the original freedom faction ideology from SoC was taken and merged with the bandits in CS, freedom was then reworked into what it is now

[sullen galleon]

^^

[pseudo rivet]

Bro wat

[sullen galleon]

No no, he's right

[midnight tiger]

But but...call of chernobyl said so

[outer marten]

Yoga, the leader of the bandits in CS retells the same story as a freedom member from SoC,

[spring abyss]

Freedom be like:
-We have no guns so we will be this armory from the duty traitor
-Get mauled by duty
-be mad with it

@midnight tiger welcome back to freedom, bro

Thus, why I'm going with Freedom who studies Shamans

[midnight tiger]

Shaman mod when?

[pseudo rivet]

Funny thing is, the duder from your avatar is also a Freedomer

[midnight tiger]

I know

[spring abyss]

I already made it

[midnight tiger]

Whut

Oh the mod

🤔🧐

Dear goodness, that foul creature has smitten thee for thine exotic vocabulary

[outer marten]

thats fine my idea for an awful mod has been blocked by Wolf for a reason, the world isn't ready yet

[midnight tiger]

So, anyways, doody bad

[pseudo rivet]

True

[spring abyss]

Wanna join the mod server you can get a npc

Theres some new npc models

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, join us

Freedom must grow

[midnight tiger]

[finite dragon]

freedom is the only good part of stalker 1 and 2

fact was confirmed by gsc

[digital lynx]

I just realized something, does anyone think that Major Degtyrev saved all of his colleagues in the final mission of call of Pripyat or does anyone think some died?

[finite dragon]

idk because of the intensely underwhelming ending

[gray lotus]

Are shotguns not viable against stalkers in CS? Feel like I'm tickling them with both buck or slugs

[finite dragon]

they're definitely better against mutants but esp in the beginning i used it against everything

[muted haven]

Why do we have an Atomic Heart emoji?

[finite dragon]

why is everything politicized my brain is going to explode

[keen saffron]

Because no one can answer where the bread goes when it’s swapped with toast

[dry imp]

because its a good game

[muted haven]

It is fed to the CCon, of course

[finite dragon]

it does look kind of fun i want to sample it i think

[toxic coral]

CCon turns Bread into "bread"

[muted haven]

Nooo not the "bread"

[keen saffron]

The bread has died.

I wonder how many evenings I waste just drooling deciding what mod to play

[stark plover]

at least probably one.

[keen saffron]

Is Forest Slump the sequel ?

[midnight tiger]

[wet flume]

How well should we expect this to handle with a controller

[midnight tiger]

[wet flume]

Thats what im thinking

[stark plover]

could be fine, could be awful won't know til we know.

[wet flume]

True

[stark plover]

leaning more on it feeling clunky.

[dry imp]

cant be too bad

[wet flume]

Thats what im gonna assume was gonna get it for both eventually

[dry imp]

have a radial weapon selection from the d-pad, click analogs to lean while aiming, left analog click will walking sprints, triggers to shoot aim, and cycle through weapons, and the four buttons to use flashlight, jump, crouch/prone, and interact

[wet flume]

Its the only thing really stopping me from preordering the collectors edition on amazon

[dry imp]

and there will most likely be aim-assist for controller

i feel like it could work really well

[finite dragon]

this is a s2 question?

[dry imp]

no its a fallout 5 question

[finite dragon]

true

[wet flume]

What about for leaning?

[dry imp]

read it again

[wet flume]

I read right past it my bad

[stark plover]

I can see leaning set to sticks being a bit awkward but I don't that in the long run if that was the case it'd be a truly awful thing.

[dry imp]

rainbow six siege did it like that and it works fine

if you need to sprint, just un-ads

and you can still crouch and jump while ads

[stark plover]

honestly forgot that R6S does that lol.

[dry imp]

i mean you could even use the bumpers to lean

and have the left analog click for crouch

[stray fjord]

I'm trying to buy collectors edition. It shows me that there is no more pc versions. Is it temporarily or they won't make new ones?

[dry imp]

there is no release date

thats pretty much all you need to know

i wouldnt recommend preordering yet

[stray fjord]

oh ok

So they would make new ones, or not? Or nobody knows?

[dry imp]

they probably dont like me telling people not to preorder, but there is literally no release date and most preorders aren't even in stock

they'll probably get them back in stock when they re-announce the game

[stray fjord]

Oh ok, thx

[dry imp]

idk when that is tbh

could be over the summer, this spring, or in the fall or holidays

or even next year

[finite dragon]

i played it yesterday

[jaunty pebble]

Honestly, I pre ordered S2 and I don't care about how it turns out. I know that it will be similar to OG Trio. The reason why I pre ordered was also to support the devs

Idc about the delays and I understand them if they delay it

[finite dragon]

they aren't the same devs and theres no way to know

[jaunty pebble]

That's true, however they said it would be similar to OG games

So I have to take their word on this one

[finite dragon]

honestly, the leaks make me think they're trying to do it right but i dont support a sandwich before i eat it. you bought it because you're stoked which is fine

[jaunty pebble]

I can understand you, and yes i have seen the leaks. That's why I'm more confident

[finite dragon]

no one supports a chef (i mean sometimes investment people do but thats not the same thing) before their restaurant, i do hate the preorder shit with video games

[jaunty pebble]

I have hopes that Stalker 2 can be what it promises and can success, unlike Starfield which I have no hopes for it

[jaunty pebble]

Oh I hate the pre order stuff aswell, but I have a rule on pre order. It's "If you know how the older games are and the devs can be trusted, then pre order it. If not then don't"

[finite dragon]

well why is the dev to be trusted

[jaunty pebble]

This rules saved me alot of money

[gray lotus]

What? The chef analogy doesn't make much sense, the chef a lot of time is the reason for the restaurant's prestige. Maybe I read it wrong

[jaunty pebble]

Because I belive in GSC that they can actually do it

[finite dragon]

based on what

[jaunty pebble]

Overall gut feeling and previous achievements

[finite dragon]

I guess we'll see, I'll buy it once it's out

[wet flume]

Does the collectors edition come with the season pass?

[finite dragon]

yes I believe it does

[jaunty pebble]

Well, I may be wrong. S2 can be a total flop. You do you and I do I

[stark plover]

the 180$ one no.
the BIG one yes.

[wet flume]

welp then i will just buy a pc copy then easy money saved

[jaunty pebble]

And, thanks to steam I saved alot while pre ordering. I saved that much where I only paid 31$ for the ultimate edition which is 100$

So even if the game flops, i don't lose that much

[hazy helm]

They are viable,you just need yo upgrade your weapon and hey close enugh that you maximize the damage youre dealing

[fierce trench]

The refund countdown doesn't start until after the game is released, so you wouldn't lose money either way.

[finite dragon]

alo

[long mica]

Heya. So is the physical ultimate edition already sold out, or just not open to preorders yet?

can't find it in stock anywhere

[spring abyss]

Try here #🖤┃s2-pre-order

[long mica]

yeah, looked through all the EU based links for PC, couldn't find any in stock

[worthy lagoon]

GSC is planning to restock

My opinion is that there will be a restock after they will announce the release date

[long mica]

amazing, thanks!

@vernal sluice The USSR was not one continuous country. The name itself says that it was a union of republics. The words and documents signed by russia are not worth the paper they are signed on 👌

[vernal magnet]

aloooha

[tropic flax]

any leaks, do not post anything that has been stolen.

be respectful to others as if they were in your own faction. thats all

OHHH very interesting

what are you most excited for in s2

okay I see you, Im intresting in the controller mapping as well. Im hoping that it will be pretty smooth. I have a copy for my xbox x and a pc copy lined up.

I have always been a big fan of the stories through out the series and hoping to see that same direction of detail that they laid out in the past.

I am nervous about the size they state the map is going to be. its the biggest to date but having a big world is awesome if it can be filled with things to do or the A life will rear its ugly head and cause mayhem through the world which then makes it a very filled landscape.

[vernal magnet]

yes and no. just keep an eye on the official rules and ask if your not sure about something

[tropic flax]

oof that was a bummer, but just exploring the Slavic homes and abandon buildings gives me a rush. searching for loot not knowing if something could one shot me give me a thrill. love that shit and cant wait.

walking through a door way and accidently stumble upon some bandits that just blow holes in me lol

[hazy helm]

Judging from what I saw in the leaks* it is pretty big and filled with stuff

i will not reveal anymore

[tropic flax]

lol true

these devs have put blood, sweat and tears into this game. They are dedicating so much into this and giving a player base the utmost they can. I whole heartedly believe this will be the game we are striving for in a world of games that come out half baked

[hazy helm]

Yhe old version

Stalker 2 wont release for those

[hazy helm]

Rule 8 my guy

hate to be a moderator

[sleek creek]

Who creat stay out

[hazy helm]

Sure,but no politics here,rule 8 and all

[cerulean dawn]

Recently there were rumors that the game was only 25% complete. This was probably leaked by some hacker or malicious person, but it's still worrying and disheartening if it has a little truth. Does anyone know what the company's position is on this?

[vast yarrow]

really walking on edge again let the politics go

[tropic flax]

да

[tropic flax]

But back onto this, I sure hope that is not true or this is just a rumor to dishearten those around.

[cerulean dawn]

So I hope too.

[spring abyss]

Rule 8

[vernal magnet]

It won't be. Those cards wont cut it. 1060 4gb or 6gb I believe is the minimum

Your best bet is an Xbox series S

[vernal magnet]

Not true

[hazy helm]

Claim done by an anonymous source with nothing to back it up

[cerulean dawn]

Ok gentlemen, I am reassured that this news tends to be false.

[tropic flax]

or get the xbox with game pass for the 3 months and if you dont like it sell the system

[tropic flax]

you almost made me cri real tears today.

[sleek creek]

mobitech stalker developed

[timber verge]

5700xt ryzen 2600x
even me scared that game is going to be laggy because my processor is not in recommended but in minimal

[sand fiber]

frost, who's expected to leak ~10gb of S2 materials tomorrow said that he thinks the game will be done in 1-1,5 years, that's the closest to knowing the state of the game we are

also, supposedly, situation inside GSC is troublesome, but there is no way to know for sure

[dry imp]

i still think he has an old build and doesn't actually have much

[sand fiber]

uh no not really if you mean the community

the idiots can be ignored and leaks don't matter

[sand fiber]

he claims to have all the desdocs, script, scene renders and concept arts, nothing was said about builds of the game

and i doubt there is a working build of the thing to begin with, you don't have to compile stuff nowadays to see how it works

[timber verge]

how can he judge about game state if he doesnt have even game build?

[vernal magnet]

art and materials

[sand fiber]

by all the other materials

[vernal magnet]

and he wouldnt be judging accurately any way

zero chance they have a compiled build. they wouldnt have been able to stay quiet

[sand fiber]

you can compile it yourself though, given the materials

[tropic flax]

dudes just a gomer that lives under a bridge...I say we steal the material back

[vernal magnet]

those branches are likely on a protected host that they RDP into

no way they could compile anything themselves

major IT no no

[sand fiber]

makes sense but who knows

[vernal magnet]

i can see the current materials being out there but a game build would be so wild. Plus for the GB amount they claim to have it wouldnt be possible

unless it was dumb early

like bare bones build

[tropic flax]

I saw the GB amount they state they have could also be a bluff thats a large amount of just "art"

but even then doubt its 30 GB

[hazy helm]

30 was the first
Now they say around 10-15 which is more believable

Whats more they have yet to give me a lie regarding the contents kf the leaks and their verocity,so I tend to trust this

[silver pagoda]

30GB of art is nothing, the way modern games work in modelling is very complex, one example is that there are always 2 models of each object/character/you name it, one high poly and one low poly textured like the high poly. if they have assets that was used/will be used in non-playable cinematics then 30GB is literally a tiny size, art that is made in 4K/8K for concept reference is also a massive size

[hazy helm]

yes, unfortunately

4/8K textures take up a lot of space,models?we have learned how to optimize these to such an extreme that you it doesnt matter that much as long as you arent pushing it

[silver pagoda]

A model can be gigabytes large if its not optimized, cinematics and animation movies models are vastly larger than a game-model

if they have their hands on assets made for renders/cinematics then 30GB is really not large

[hazy helm]

you should use the same models for gameplay and cinematics,along with the same textures,and this I will not budge on

And make 4k textured a optional download

[silver pagoda]

despite the fact we use the term high poly and low poly in games, in reality anything that can be run in any game is actually low poly in comparison

as i said, if they have cinematic assets then its not a large file

also a game like stalker has probably hundreds of concept references in HQ

[hazy helm]

Yhe,and it wouldn't t suprise me if many of this desdocs were reslly large in size so you can see the small details
The map alone is very verh big

[silver pagoda]

Textures can be used in the models but they are downscaled, models are also baked into lower poly for games, you can use a baked model but its nowhere near the size of the cinematic one

first thing i learned in 3D modelling school lol

[vernal magnet]

your talking about alot of legacy tech

this is UE5. Nanite, Lumen, and other asset LOD streaming technologies are integrated

they keep a very close to raw single asset and dynamically stream its LOD in

[silver pagoda]

engine does not matter, unless they have a fully UE5 build of the game

I thought they stole assets and art?

[hazy helm]

Wht

What

[vernal magnet]

engine does matter though, UE5 is not the only one that utilizes these functions. Heck even Returnal supports DirectStorage. You dont need to handle art assets like you were mentioning anymore

[silver pagoda]

In the process of making them is vastly different than how the engine runs them

but my point was to the size of the bundle the hackers stole

[vernal magnet]

True but nowadays you only need one master object

[vernal magnet]

different point i was responding to the art assets topic

the size of the leak is not as large as folks think. they admitted to having cutscene data. thats probably a big chunk of it

[silver pagoda]

since cut scenes are rendered in-game that means they have full UE5 build?

[vernal magnet]

what? no

[sand fiber]

@hazy helm seen the last TSS post?

[hazy helm]

I know Im running home sonI can download

Cant speak gotta run

[sand fiber]

ohoho

[vernal magnet]

MOAB just went off

[fleet glacier]

Good Luck GSC, I ain't looking at any of them.

[sand fiber]

no way famous animator Animan from Animan Studios???

[fleet glacier]

The "Hail Mary" Just Dropped.

[fleet glacier]

Ehhh?

[pseudo rivet]

Leaks pretty based

[dry imp]

leak the leaks

[sand fiber]

indeed, i believe so

[pseudo rivet]

Can't, they're already leaked

They're doing a better job than GSC's PR team, ngl

[haughty gorge]

what's the most dangerous mutant?

[fleet glacier]

Humans.

XD
Jk.

[haughty gorge]

:o

Nice link

[sleek creek]

Wtf

[silver pagoda]

Hacker dogs leak already?

[sleek creek]

That porn link

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

[haughty gorge]

How do you know fella monolit.

[pseudo rivet]

15 or so GB

[sleek creek]

I click

[silver pagoda]

bahahahha hacker dogs

imagine living under tyranny and your most important job is to hack companies for games

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl bro, pretty based of them to take over GSC's PR job and do it for free

[sleek creek]

That was porn link I saw it

[silver pagoda]

PR does not start unless release date exists, learn economics nerd

[pseudo rivet]

They're starving us to death dude, we know literally nothing even now

[sand fiber]

I hope after this they politicize the game beyond belief and make it the second Deus Ex or smth

[silver pagoda]

its called marketing strategy and it starts when release is decided

[pseudo rivet]

Good, try making more enemies out of your fans, that'll surely help

[pseudo rivet]

Then their strategy sucks, ngl

[silver pagoda]

They dont promote the game atm cuz its no release date

[pseudo rivet]

At least they promote their board game, that's all what matters after all

[silver pagoda]

board game comes sooner than the game tho

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

[silver pagoda]

90% of the players who will play stalker 2 are not on discord, me and you dont matter thats how it works and thats how it will always work

[pseudo rivet]

Don't see the context

[silver pagoda]

means that they wont promote the game just to satisfy you

[sleek creek]

👉

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds like bad business, ngl

[silver pagoda]

Its smart business, once they start generate actual hype they will keep it till release

[pseudo rivet]

They haven't even started yet, though

[fickle panther]

What's happening?

[silver pagoda]

yeah cuz they dont have release date

[dry imp]

stalker 2 discussion

[pseudo rivet]

Nothing, 15 GB leak of S.T.2 stuff

[silver pagoda]

anomaly 2 leaked

[fickle panther]

Well.

[dry imp]

is it anything important

[pseudo rivet]

Check for yourself, nobody's been able to download it yet, but there are a couple of teasers

[fickle panther]

I'm not sure how to react to this information.

[dry imp]

so its probably fake

[silver pagoda]

the funniest thing is that the hackers actually believe this can hurt Stalker 2 sales lmfao

[pseudo rivet]

Depends on your PoV

[dry imp]

yeah they really don't understand how leaks work

[pseudo rivet]

X on them thinking that

[silver pagoda]

last of us 2 leaked = multi million seller
cyberpunk leaked = multi million seller

[dry imp]

usually leaks help a lot with marketing. its literally free marketing

[pseudo rivet]

Except both of those were bad games

[silver pagoda]

thanks russian hackers for free PR

[dry imp]

SoC was leaked before release

[sand fiber]

no they don't, you're making stuff up

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly, that's what I've been saying this whole time

[dry imp]

they literally had it in their manifesto 💀

[silver pagoda]

They literally blackmailed GSC lmfao, you blackmail someone you want to hurt dude

[sand fiber]

frost jokingly remarked how it's free advertisement for gsc

[dry imp]

you made that up

[silver pagoda]

dont know who frost is and these hackers should hack my big massive.... bolt gun

[pseudo rivet]

True

[sand fiber]

you can go and check their posts lmao

[dry imp]

im right you're wrong

[vernal magnet]

it actually happened

[silver pagoda]

So all these hackers do is activism for russian voicelines in the game?

[sand fiber]

true, tampico pats you

[silver pagoda]

what a waste of activism that is lmao

[dry imp]

[pseudo rivet]

More so GSC's treatment towards their Russian fans

Although for that Nick duder, I believe it's just because he got banned here

[silver pagoda]

considering Russia is literally bombing ukraine then its understandable, its supposed to send a message, GSC got balls to cut sales on a whole huge country like russia

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, didn't know every Russian was a war criminal

[sand fiber]

frost's literally in russian military rn so i don't think his opinion matters

[silver pagoda]

as said its supposed to send a message, i am pretty sure GSC knows civilians took no decision to invading ukraine

[pseudo rivet]

Anyways, I'mma hop out of here before wackage happens. We all knew that GSC wouldn't accept with their demands, so I'm just here to follow the actual PR team

[silver pagoda]

so he's fighting in frontline? lol

[sand fiber]

yeah he's in one of the DPR troops

[silver pagoda]

actual bruh moment

[silver pagoda]

yeah they should not, cyber terrorism lmao

[dry imp]

but he has resources to hack and leak stuff?

[silver pagoda]

yeah like what the f dude actual comedy

[strong cloud]

military police

[sand fiber]

first there are multiple people
second uhhh why do you think they hacked anything

[dry imp]

oh

[pseudo rivet]

Reread everything he's ever said, IF you've actually read anything at all

[dry imp]

bro what. its known he's a hacker

[silver pagoda]

he beats up people and in his free time he coding things?

[vernal magnet]

well....they did lol

[dry imp]

literally how else would they obtain anything from a gsc server 💀bro what

[silver pagoda]

GSC gave it to them its all deus ex conspiracy

[sand fiber]

No? They didn't say that, and leaks can happen other ways

[dry imp]

no it's usually just hacks

[vernal magnet]

Yes, its been confirmed a social account was compromised. they rainbow tabled that ish

[pallid hollow]

Fun fact: The "hacker" is not hacker and He is ukrainian

[dry imp]

so true

[strong cloud]

I ugh, i hope i wont get prosecuted here, but our community took an interview from this Nick Frost guy, and he claims he gives ZF about politics

[pseudo rivet]

Nick is just the "face" of them. He's got the information, but he didn't get it

[silver pagoda]

someone from GSC leaked that on purpose? the fk?

[vernal magnet]

Press X

[dry imp]

the whole thing is political lmao what

[sand fiber]

He still is in a separatist militia, lmfao

[strong cloud]

on the other hand, he happily admits he wanted some self-PR

[silver pagoda]

nothing speaks apolitical more than blackmailing a ukrainian company asking to give you russian language because they dont want to sell their game in the country that invades them

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, there were GSC employers who didn't enjoy working with them

[dry imp]

also where is this interview

[sand fiber]

He published a link to it in his community

[strong cloud]

can give u link, but russian only

[dry imp]

damn

[strong cloud]

ye, correct

[dry imp]

well since i don't understand russian, what else did the guy say

[pallid hollow]

of course, every Russian personally attacked Ukraine, and therefore the main audience does not deserve to see their language in the game

[dry imp]

bait.

[pallid hollow]

I tried )

[dry imp]

[sand fiber]

Main audience can listen to UA audio and read RU text

[vernal magnet]

It's Mandarin only for them and their gonna have to like it

chinese strelok is canon now

[dry imp]

mandarin speaking stalkers has to be a hell of an experience

[pallid hollow]

Then, in general, everyone, except Ukrainians, can listen to Ukrainian voice acting and read the text in their own language

[silver pagoda]

maybe wonder who is at fault for invading, you know, your leader? the guy who represents you? lmao

[sand fiber]

Yeah. Would be cool, unfortunately there are no resources for that

[strong cloud]

we asked him why he said he is not part of ru-community. he said he is not russian, neither is his team, and therefore they aren't part of ru-community

[pallid hollow]

maybe we should ask ourselves who is to blame for who contributed to the violent seizure of power and the beginning of the civil war

[vernal magnet]

this channel must have broke 50% of the rules atleast in the past 20 minutes lol

[dry imp]

so he isn't in the russian military?

[strong cloud]

said that he "fights" for himself, just didnt mind to help people. said that the other person has different mindset

[vernal magnet]

calling it now, itll be locked down in here like the NFT situation

[silver pagoda]

russia invaded ukraine, not sure what the fk u on about

[west harbor]

can you give me the link?

[sand fiber]

Stop spreading russian propaganda about Maidan, please, "civil war" in Donbass was orchestrated by Russia

[silver pagoda]

propaganda is the only thing russia does, lately they say west is trying to nuclear nuke them lmao

[pallid hollow]

As far as we know, she is a real mercenary. He even wrote once that he had to go to war for money to afford a computer for Stalker 2)

[silver pagoda]

imagine killing people to play a video game, get the f outta here

[strong cloud]

probably meant as nationality idk

[dry imp]

it's confusing

[strong cloud]

his answers on our questions were a bit short honestly

[sand fiber]

NF is from Ukrainian region of Donetsk, which is occupied including the city atm

[strong cloud]

ngl we expected more

[pallid hollow]

Now I'm talking about Russian propaganda. You are talking about Ukrainian propaganda. The bottom line is that this is a vicious circle. You just need to separate games and politics. Alas, people are incapable of this

[dry imp]

turns out this guy is like veitnamese or something and is just causing chaos

[vernal magnet]

Im gonna hop back into my discord but be careful guys dont get in-trouble for rules against politics and what not. Stay respectful to GSC

[silver pagoda]

quite funny you complain about GSC who is ukrainian and have direct impact from conflict, but you dont cry about mcdonalds and other huge mega corp companies leaving russia

[worthy lagoon]

Alright, let's cool down with this topic

[dry imp]

hes true

[pallid hollow]

Oh, yes, all the big companies have left Russia... And they opened businesses under other names. Capitalism,

[worthy lagoon]

Last warning

[dry imp]

[pallid hollow]

Yes boss

[silver pagoda]

how can you seperate politics from a game you create in Ukraine, get bombed and work from your bathroom on a laptop in case rockets drop? you are wrong, gsc is not AI, they are humans

[dry imp]

kuro when are we going hiking

[sand fiber]

Nah, that rhetoric doesn't work, games don't exist in a vacuum, they're surrounded by politics, and games themselves, as art, can and almost always contain politics

I believe you know about OL desdocs and what was in there, and i believe you know what was in the builds, and how incredibly ukrainian-politics and culture centered it was

[silver pagoda]

yeh i stop

[sand fiber]

yeah we stop

[worthy lagoon]

Good

[dry imp]

[silver pagoda]

anyway, whats good in arizona tampico

[dry imp]

now back to the leaks and not political

[dry imp]

winter is over

[strong cloud]

i hope i'm not in trouble here for the fact we took such interview from this guy 🙂

[dry imp]

why would you be

[silver pagoda]

its just interview, CNN takes interviews from serial killers, relax

[pseudo rivet]

News is news. If people can't appreciate knowledge, then that's their problem ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[strong cloud]

dunno, some companies dont like when some people give platform of voice to guys who wreck havoc on their business

[sand fiber]

and that's extremely cringe

[dry imp]

interviews is how you get inside their mind to understand why they do what they do

[silver pagoda]

interviewing is not giving platform, giving platform would be if you let them use your discord to orchestrate hacks

[midnight tiger]

Interesting conversation sips juice

[spring abyss]

No, get out 🧱

[spring abyss]

🧱

[hazy helm]

now we gotta talk about stalker!

[sleek creek]

Explain why?

[vernal magnet]

late 90s early 2000s game development be like

[finite dragon]

has anyone uh looked at the stuff

[hazy helm]

still dl

[finite dragon]

i may just listen to gossip on discord and online and not dl, is it the big 15th thing or separate and they're doing more?

the translation is weird cant tell

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[finite dragon]

is it the "big" 15th leak? I don't get what the translation is saying

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, this is just a small taste I believe

[finite dragon]

damn 16 gigs or whatever thats a meal

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

[sand fiber]

just a fraction of what they'll post tomorrow it says

[sand fiber]

will you share any interesting findings somewhere? internet's so bad can't download it

[finite dragon]

yeah im scared to dl, im curious but i really dont want plot spoilers

[vernal magnet]

then stay far away

i can tell you right away, theres alot of spoilers

[vernal magnet]

right here

[finite dragon]

mfs better enforce using the spoiler tag

[vernal magnet]

☝️

[finite dragon]

lol i like the plot of stalker thats 60% of the reason why I like it, im a sci fi nerd and love the book and movie

[jaunty pebble]

Oh shid that's tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me to stay away from it

[finite dragon]

i definitely want to see gameplay shots tho and like concept art

[jaunty pebble]

I'm fine with concept art leaks, however that massive supposed leaks is a no go for me

I don't want the plot to be spoiled to me

[finite dragon]

yeah i have some transgressive ideas lol about it, dont mind it other than spoilers

but im sure they'll enforce the spoiler tag, i mean its their leaked baby

[jaunty pebble]

I don't know man

[finite dragon]

i mean they better, mf you have to use spoilers for HLA still in the hl discord

its pretty standard

[jaunty pebble]

Is it guaranteed to have plot spoilers?

[finite dragon]

yes, i dont know if i can copy and paste but I remember calling him full of shit the other day when he said it was spoiler free

in the stuff he posted today he says its the entire up to date plot and to not download if you dont want spoilers

[spring abyss]

Half life 2 all over again

[finite dragon]

that was pretty out of date beta builds, I kind of believe him when he says this up to date as least the plot

[sand fiber]

i'll probs read all the docs and the script since i wanna know if it's going to disappoint me

[finite dragon]

i feel like all the RU nerds that know the bro and plot are stoked on it and there's a lot of the original trilogy referenced, makes me sad i don't want it ruined

[jaunty pebble]

@finite dragon you can dm me the message

[finite dragon]

sent check your dm requests if you don't see it, ima hit the road

[rancid hornet]

they weren't kidding when they said enemies are fairly liberal with grenades in CS

[finite dragon]

i tried it one time and i agree

it's like discount DayZ combined with 1 ruble store STALKER

[tropic flax]

more screens just dropped

[fiery vault]

Apparently another huge leak just dropped. Rip

[sleek creek]

Stalker 👀

[ionic torrent]

Not gonna share any of the leaks but just looking at them they look fantastic and it makes me even more hyped than I already was

[icy prism]

I am the same as you. Unfortunately, I find it bitter to learn this information through leaks. It makes me angry to know that some sons of a b***h hacked and stole information from GSC. And more than that it was all to blackmail them and belittle the company and their efforts. They are already suffering too much from being at war. The last thing they needed was for a couple of imbeciles to belittle their efforts.

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, makes me glad I pre ordered the ultimate edition

However the whole leak and blackmail should not have happened

[hexed zephyr]

Am I the only one who didn't watch the leaks?

[worthy owl]

nope

[ionic torrent]

Personally I'm just gonna stay away from all the lore/story stuff

[jaunty pebble]

Yea me too

[velvet schooner]

i don't get how could the monolith literally immune to radiation

[spring abyss]

They are not

Don't you saw how many body's are there?

[velvet schooner]

i don't think i see a monolith die of radiation

directly

[spring abyss]

You don't saw a stalker either, I'm talking about the monoliths body's everywhere

[cyan canopy]

Idk maybe the monolithians launch raid in many place like Yantar factory

[spring abyss]

They are not immune to radiation at all, they are maybe immune to psy fields but not to radiation

Monoliths are still humans

[cyan canopy]

Yeah but maybe they kinda half zombified like some of SoC hoodies zombies monolith

[spring abyss]

I don't think zombies are immune either

They are in a pain existence

[cyan canopy]

They are dead i guess

[spring abyss]

They are pretty much alive

[cyan canopy]

Pls dont tell me you saying "Zombies is still human" like bro ik but they are mindless creatures

[midnight tiger]

Sylky moment

[spring abyss]

You're taking this discussion out of context

[cyan canopy]

Only following psy field or insticts

[spring abyss]

Stfu

[midnight tiger]

[spring abyss]

Zombie brains are literally rotting

[midnight tiger]

Glad to be your favorite person

[cyan canopy]

Anyway back to monolithians theres 2 of unused of Monolith like monolith commander and some unused hoodies monolith

[spring abyss]

Nah

Soc unused models are dummies
