Tha is it

[amber tendon]

said it before and will say it again

if I hear thud everytime I drink energycan I will stab my ears

[hazy helm]

Where message go

What

[amber tendon]

Disocrd

having stronk

[modern cove]

i deleted it cause it sounded dumb

[hazy helm]

Was gonna reply

[autumn shale]

it makes me thirsty so yes

[gilded sentinel]

Decided to replay cs again

[full estuary]

those drinks are 0 meaning to me

[slow kiln]

Ehat faction is best in clear sky? I need help

[gilded sentinel]

Duty

[grave portal]

What you personally prefer
it's subjective

[cyan canopy]

idk but i prefer dont join any faction or you can just join Loners

even loners is neutral with freedom and duty but trying to cross Garbage is hell

[long harbor]

listening to anime music and ambushing stalkers as a bandit is peak stalker experience

i'm having the greatest time of my life rn

[amber tendon]

Hacking into the gate?

[long harbor]

what?

i'm just chilling bro

[amber tendon]

or Boa's Duvet?

[long harbor]

oh you're asking about the name of the song?

nah bro i'm listening to the intro of Oshinoko

and Sakamata Chloe's songs

my character be high af on cannabis while vibing to anime music'

[long harbor]

hmmmm, i'll check it out later

i'm having a blast ya know? the oshinoko intro SLAPS

[amber tendon]

Hacking into the gate is also good

not available on spotify sadly

[long harbor]

some arknights soundtracks are pretty nice and they're available on spotify

check out the playlist for il siracusano

man i should stop messaging on discord, my ass just got blown open by some doodies

[pearl jacinth]

hell for the bandits, that is

they fire a stray towards me once and i throw a grenade directly into a full room in their base

[cosmic schooner]

Clear sky bandits really love their grenades huh 😀

[finite dragon]

yeah they have unlimited supplies and have the aim of a smart bomb

[glossy blade]

Depends on your goals

[finite dragon]

kill duty

[limpid salmon]

no u

did you play the games in order

[glossy blade]

If you just want to simply finish the game, you shouldn't be afraid to try different fractions, but it may make the game a lil bit longer. I think helping Stalkers and Freedom is more new-player friendly.

[limpid salmon]

deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits...

[glossy blade]

But there are some goodies that you can get from bandits

[limpid salmon]

by killing them

[glossy blade]

[pearl jacinth]

idling behind cover for more than half a second in CS is basically just asking for grenades

[dry imp]

just throw grenades back

[solid dome]

Jesus Christ

[dry imp]

the stoc has fallen

[worn oar]

All what you need is here stalkers! Come to me, follow my sound.

[worn oar]

Okay, so if you want to join a faction there are few things that changes. Let's say you sided with duty, you'll get an extra ending info. You'll also change some small parts of your gameplay such as factions relations. You'll lose ties with freedom but you'll gain more favors with some other factions. Your choice should just depend on your desired path through the game.

[solid dome]

Do not join any factions. Be the boss yourself. Do not be told where to go, what to do and how to do it. Carve your own path through the No Man's Land - The Zone.

Hi

[worn oar]

Free stalkers being free stalkers hehe

I smell propaganda

[worn oar]

Freedum

[pearl jacinth]

MURICA

[worn oar]

[neat cedar]

Dumy

[worn oar]

The difference between duty and freedum is the difference between killing a bloodsucker and sleeping with one hahah

[solid dome]

What I said is properganda

[worn oar]

Haha that's why I smelled it Father

[worn oar]

Dolgaaa

[wise blaze]

yall, im hella considering getting the phyisical edition. I almost could get the ultimate but last I checked it was hella expensive. how mch is the collectors or limited edition? and is it "risky" since the game could maybe suck

[solid dome]

@vernal magnet How can you let him speak dirty of Freedom, chief

[pearl jacinth]

this game will be peak just give it time

[wise blaze]

I figure it will, but are we looking at 20 years from now, or a few months post launch

[solid dome]

How can you fantasize having sex with phantoms... invisible objects. Bruhmm...

[neat cedar]

Hows everyone

[worn oar]

Nobody can come back from that

[worn oar]

I smell freedum

[solid dome]

You'll be beaten once the boss comes

You'll be sorry for saying such words, deep regrets you will have

[worn oar]

Knowing the team, I'd say it will not be anything near bad. It may feel less of a stalker game but never a bad game. I'm sure of it so don't worry folks

[worn oar]

If you want faction war, you'll have it mwuahaha 😈

[wise blaze]

im in that realm of thought too, but I dont wanna spend a ton of money that I dont have haha

[pearl jacinth]

rare argument i don't see very often: both freedom and duty are dumb

[neat cedar]

What

[wise blaze]

yes. loner ftw

[worn oar]

Actually, I can never agree with that knowing the lore but it's you opinion so 🤷

[hazy helm]

NLC intrusive thoughts

[worn oar]

NLC xD that damn mod took nearly 3 years already and still no real English translation 😊

[pearl jacinth]

simply learn the language its written in

[hazy helm]

there are machine translations

and they are pretty damn good

playing 3.0 HE 2.3

[worn oar]

Bruh haha how am I supposed to learn Russian?

[pearl jacinth]

either simply learn it lol or just play the mod without understanding a single word

[hazy helm]

duolingo + a dictionary

[worn oar]

Ik, and I tried it! It's broken and poorly done. I could've fixed it and salvaged what I could but felt too lazy do hand translate scripts and ui configs

[hazy helm]

wdym broken and poorly done,its very good!

the names are funky but its perfectly understandable

and sometimes its really good no strings attached

[pearl jacinth]

poorly done translations add to the experience

it really feels like you're in the zone where everyone has broken english

[worn oar]

I would lol but not NLC, it's hard core and pretty much nerdy so without texts you might just toss yourself in a psi field and get on with it

[hazy helm]

well I just finished X18 so

[wise blaze]

I’m doing that rn. Duolingo is decent. It sucks still It’ll teach you the alphabet fairly well tho

[hazy helm]

[worn oar]

Vasim, what I mean with poorly done and broken is not what you would probably understand. I've been through the files and I can not say otherwise. Besides, plenty of files are still not translated and missed. It's no shame tho, they are hard to find and I'm pretty sure the translator couldn't find them and it's not his fault.

[pearl jacinth]

duolingo is eh

its method is "constantly ram the same sentence into the person's mind until it's actually burned into their head" and there's like zero actual speaking activities

nobody eats that many bananas, teach me how to swear in the language instead

[gilded sentinel]

Seems like you’re making excuses

[hazy helm]

honestly,I am probably at midway thru it and I have to see something that is flat out wrong or just,not possible to understand
some slang here and there, but it does add to the feeling,got me calling vodka "bubble" and artifacts "stink"

[worn oar]

Idk what do you mean soldier?

[hazy helm]

I dunno if the translation you used is bad

but I am using Keatsy's repack

[worn oar]

Does pda msgs appear in Russian or not?

Does some texts still in Russian or not?

[gilded sentinel]

It just seems like your looking for a reason NOT to play it

[hazy helm]

they are translated
and all text at least so far is translated as well

[gilded sentinel]

It’s decent and unique , why try to skip it so hard ?

[pearl jacinth]

learning ukrainian just to understand which slur the bandits are hurling at me every time i come within a hundred meter radius of their little hut

[hazy helm]

I would take a screenshot but I am busy compiling databases for LFO

I have successfully turned off FDDA

[worn oar]

Ik the translators btw we spoke a couple of times and when we did the hand translation was on making but I guess it died cuz the team couldn't find help

[wise blaze]

how high are the chances that the preorder bonuses just get modded into the game?

or just become no longer pre order bonuses

[worn oar]

I am not 🤣 I seriously had plans to revisit the translation and fix the missing texts but then life happened and I'm willing to play it really

[hazy helm]

depending on how limited modding is at release,dunno

[hazy helm]

they'll most likely become dlc

except the badges

[wise blaze]

ok. I just cant decide if I want to preorder

I am heavily considering the physical ultimate but that will be a massive waste if this game bombs

[pearl jacinth]

entering pvp mode just to say "heu look at my cool badge lol" and never playing it again

[wise blaze]

so I want to wait for it to be shown to be good post launch

[worn oar]

Okay maybe somebody fixed them. It's been a year since my download btw so it makes sense of you say it's a different translation

[hazy helm]

enter match
says he preordered
refuses to elaborate further
leaves

[pearl jacinth]

i can and will do this

once it releases that is

[hazy helm]

well,the guy who made the translation is Taim so

if that tells you anything

[pearl jacinth]

(watch me accidentally get addicted to the pvp mode)

[hazy helm]

hopefully the PVP mode is a upgrade to the OGs

[pearl jacinth]

preorders game exclusively for the animated steam pfp

never uses it

[hazy helm]

we'll see

[wise blaze]

how do disc based games update? I dont have a disc drive on my pc so im planning on copying the disc to a usb drive then putting it on my PC. how would I update it. some website?

[worn oar]

Okay I'd love to have a link for the repack or at least where to find it? I'll check it and if it's as you say imma smash

[hazy helm]

sure,its in the C-Con server
#550866964822884373 message
if you dont have a link to the server I can send it in DMs

[pearl jacinth]

watch it use the same server rack and provider as socs pvp mode

[hazy helm]

physical orders for pc of S2 will come with a steam code

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-desperado-winds-ofdestruction-sundowner-grin-gif-18169825

[pearl jacinth]

thatd actually be so damn funny lol

[hazy helm]

you say that like its a bad thing

[wise blaze]

oh. I see. it looked like it was a disc. thx

[dry imp]

download installers from shady websites

[pearl jacinth]

it's like those 15+ year old servers run themselves

[wise blaze]

man. im finna waste all my summer money on this crap and a new sound setup. i gotta find a real job

[worn oar]

I'd appreciate it if you do. I don't often use discord and I lost my original account with all it's contacts. Haha I was moderating some servers there then I disappeared 🤣

We made a Road to the north server and I disappeared suddenly. I don't even remember why or how

[quartz kayak]

Is there a guide to running the original SoC on new hardware? I cannot get a new game to start for the life of me.

[hazy helm]

whats the issue

[worn oar]

What do you mean? Explain a bit further

[dry imp]

check steam discussions and guides

[quartz kayak]

Totally fresh install, I downloaded dx9 and vc_redist and installed them. I am running it as an admin, etc. But I can get in, pick a difficulty, and immediately the game crashes.

[dry imp]

i think i had a similar issue at one point

[quartz kayak]

"FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CRender::texture_load
[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\xrRender\Texture.cpp
[error]Line : 295
[error]Description : <no expression>
[error]Arguments : Can't find texture 'pfx\pfx_cc_lighting_grad2'"

This is in one of the log files, so maybe it's relevant?

[worn oar]

Okay

That's a texture problem

[dry imp]

its missing a texture file

verify integrity

[quartz kayak]

Crazy. It's a fresh install, lol. I will verify integrity and see how that does.

[worn oar]

Are you using a mod or its just the base game? If it's base then it corrupt reinstall it

[vernal magnet]

Duty member, opinion invalidated

[quartz kayak]

Base game. I wanted to use absolute nature and the weapon overhaul for a vanilla+ experience but now I just want the game working.

[worn oar]

Aah you applied the mods ?

Then it's the weapon overhaul, reinstall that

Make sure it does have that file you are missing. Go to gamedata/textures/pfx/pfx.......

[quartz kayak]

I did several installs ago, but I have reinstalled the game since.

I will reinstall one more time. I deleted all the folders and document folders manually just to be sure. Then I'll see if it plays.

Thank god the game is only 5 gigs, lol

[wise blaze]

huh. my copy of roadside picnic just got here. I thought it was a bigger book

[quartz kayak]

Okay, great. The game actually launches now. Something was clearly getting left behind after uninstall.

[dry imp]

good book

[worn oar]

Great news! It's always a missing file haha

[wise blaze]

Id love to read it in russian, but im not that fluent yet hah. idk how much translation will make stuff get lost

[quartz kayak]

I wish I could get absolute nature working

[dry imp]

same. in english its very hard to follow. i want to learn russian and read it in russian because maybe it makes more sense

[worn oar]

You can? Just check what version it needs and installation instruction

[quartz kayak]

Holy crap did the original game really have this much head bob

[wise blaze]

Im learning russian rn. its decent to read the language but it seems like itll be a bugger to speak.

[quartz kayak]

Jesus christ lmao. Marked One has a slinky neck

[dry imp]

i should buy a russian copy and cross reference

teach myself russian

[wise blaze]

duolingo is a good app to learn the alphabet. idk about the words. im only just now doing those

[dry imp]

i should do that with the bible

[dry imp]

i already know the alphabet

[wise blaze]

ah. ok

[worn oar]

MaRkEd OnE? WhAt ThE hElL?

[hazy helm]

yeump

[dry imp]

i think there is a config or something

[quartz kayak]

Yeah, I don't want to make the game too much easier, but I think I may need to chop down this headbob a little lmao

Thanks for the help yall

[worn oar]

It'll need some decompressing and editing a particular configuration file haha! It's a lot of pain so it's not worth it

[wise blaze]

ok boys. ive done the math. Im looking at maybe 1600 bucks this summer. you think itd be dumb to spend 600ish on the physical ultimate and a new sound setup?

[dry imp]

get a job

[wise blaze]

...thats what the 1600 is

[dry imp]

1600 for the whole summer? 💀

where do you work? a labor camp?

[wise blaze]

yea. its mowing lawns and shi. cant do much else cause of my health

[dry imp]

go work at some restaurant

[wise blaze]

its like 40 bucks a week for 15ish weeks. then some other jobs

[wise blaze]

thats like, top 5 job I cant work at

[dry imp]

get a minimum wage job

[wise blaze]

as I said, I currently cant cause health

[dry imp]

why not?

[pearl jacinth]

marked one is simply jamming out to tunes that you can't hear the whole game

[dry imp]

you're literally mowing lawns. working in a store would be much much better

[wise blaze]

cant stand for too long, cant sit for too long. among other issues. hella fun.

[wise blaze]

30 mins vs 8 hour shifts is not better

[dry imp]

get some desk job

[wise blaze]

cant sit for too long

[dry imp]

you can walk around

[wise blaze]

thats what mowing is

[dry imp]

ir just suffer and starve to death on the streets because you cant work

[wise blaze]

huh? thats a wholly different topic tho

[dry imp]

there's plenty of jobs you can do

[wise blaze]

yes. which is why im doing some of them

[dry imp]

but you're making 40 a week

[wise blaze]

yea, for like maybe an hour and a half of work. thats 20 bucks an hour

[pearl jacinth]

is that liveable where you live

[wise blaze]

the work is ez which is why I do it. I dont need money rn

[wise blaze]

yup. parents are cheap luckily

[pearl jacinth]

it's crazy how you just spawn in and get parents for free isn't it

[wise blaze]

too much stuff for me to actually get into all of the details of my life haha. all im saying is do you think 600 of 1600 is too big a chunk for a game that could maybe flop

[worn oar]

Haha wanna hear something funny? That 1600 is a big deal here lol. A summer work here gives you around 700 if your lucky haha so buying the game with our money is practically impossible

[dry imp]

well then nevermind

[dry imp]

third world

[wise blaze]

hah no worries. Id trade having to get a job and good health for free housing any day

[worn oar]

Haha ill have to open a donation compain i suppose haha

[worn oar]

Bingo

[dry imp]

come to arizona

[wise blaze]

simply just set up your own fiefdom. ez

[balmy hound]

Which country do you live Dredgencayde6, if I may ask ?

[wise blaze]

US

[balmy hound]

Thanks

I barely know the situation over there when you have health troubles.

[worn oar]

I wish haha who's gonna give me the visa

[wise blaze]

far better than other places from my experience

[worn oar]

I studied English lol just to get out of here

[solid dome]

Duty member, pass revoked right?

[balmy hound]

In France, I have a state aid for medical reasons. I can't work on a lengthy period. But my life is really at a minimum level of what you can call dignity.

[wise blaze]

I could get aid. idk the details, but itd be enough from what I can tell. some people tend to complain cause they want more, but to me, a life of no work and free money is hardly something to complain about

I just dont want to try to get aid yet. im still young and once I figure out all my issues I should be relatively fine to go about as normal

[worn oar]

Crybabies🤣

[worn oar]

It's okay bro, you'll be fine I'm sure of it

[wise blaze]

yea. im not worried. Im less worried about my health than I am this game sucking haha.

[balmy hound]

I'm not complaining about the amount of money. But I don't have somewhere to live, I live in a poor neighborhood, my social life is completely stuck, if I try to work they take the aid back and if my health goes wrong again i'm litterally homeless. I hope you won't be stuck as I am.

[wise blaze]

I just dont wanna waste 300 bucks on a game that cancels

[wise blaze]

ah. I see. thats funny. here everyone talks about how europe has such good social programs that people never have that issue. I def feel you on the social life tho. I hope stuff turns better for you

[balmy hound]

Thanks, I still have somewhere to sleep, to eat, to feel secure, that's the most important !

[wise blaze]

for sure. with any luck, the world will all end up blown to bits soon. then we can play stalker in real life

[worn oar]

Oh shit same here haha I'm super worried that I might not be able to get the game 😦 I really need to find a way haha I regret not taking donations for my work these past years. I was like no dude it's okay have fun... didn't know I'll be needing them to stalker two lol

[wise blaze]

I’d be down to send you like, 5 USD when the game launches if it doesn’t look like total crap. If you still can’t afford it by then

[worn oar]

Nah bro, I appreciate the offer but I can not take it ❤️ haha idk why but I always refuse money 🤣

[dry imp]

ill "employ" you to my "business" which will suddenly mysteriously go under as soon as you get here with your work visa

[worn oar]

What's the work haha? Not human trading right

[solid dome]

We need faction wars for ST2's MP component. Could make for fun sessions.

Wonder what would be the best way to do such mode and not have it becoming boredom fest?

[solid dome]

Narco operations for sure

@worn oar You dig tunnels through borders

[hazy helm]

pretty sure Faction Wars not comming back to ST2 SP

[solid dome]

I don't remember even playing that tbh

Can make interesting mode for MP, break the stigma MP modes suck

Make it cool, make it right

[dry imp]

idk probably like some tech company or something

[solid dome]

I need couple funky modes for MP to hook you for more than 2 hours, man

[dry imp]

im pretty sure its a felony too

[solid dome]

Everyone's exhausted on generic modes in all these years

GSC needs to shake the pot

Not add more uselessness into

Yeah, Artifact Hunt looks like cool concept, could be expanded. Besides that, we need more. It's not enough.

[worn oar]

I doubt we'll have faction war. The game shifted to a new faction storyline. We'll probably see old factions but not have much with them.

[solid dome]

Multiplayer, dude

[worn oar]

Mexican borders? Will I search for gold then

[solid dome]

You'll be assigned to dig tunnels to Guzman's cell where you'll be his maid

[worn oar]

Multiplayer might just be the way it always been. Death match, and artifact hunt. Perhaps, mutant hunt or some co-missions

[worn oar]

That's not bad then haha I'll come

[solid dome]

If you were the principal multiplayer designer, how would you break the multiplayer formula to keep the players pumped?

[worn oar]

Going for a mp mode will probably take some good time for devs to finish. I doubt it'll be as you want it to be. Unless they planned to add it as an expansion dlc

[solid dome]

I want multiplayer to have worthy of having purpose, rather be "here's something, whatever"

[worn oar]

I give them co-up missions mode and expand over artifact hunt where you actually hunt for the artifact not pick it up from a map marker you know. Mutant hunts on big levels might as well be a good activity for some stalkers.
I do have many ideas I'm willing to suggest to the team. But it's not a walk in a park.
For example I'd restore the faction war based on faction specialities too. You pick your faction, you spawn in a random zone and carry on with whatever your faction is good at. A dutier will be tasked to clear out mutants while being aware that there are more hostiles than just that. Mercs do courier works, deliveries and assassinations. Bandits will rather be bandits where they hijack, steal and Robb unaware stalkers from any faction with an option to let them go alive. Ecos will deal with field studies and artifact works.

I mean there are plenty of ideas that will definitely make the game unbelievably fun.
They can make the whole world map a freeplay zone for all players to play in. They pick factions and follow the wind. Take control of territories, resources and bases while in the same time protect them from invading troops and factions. I would literally pay more than just the game price for that

[pearl jacinth]

open world online stalker game that's both pve and pvp would go so hard bro you don't even know

would definitely take eons to make tho

[worn oar]

Ik, I really do. Just throwing some of my fantasies here xD. But it ever happens. Imma be super addicted on the game and become a cave man

We need to start a petition and let the devs see it 🤣

[pearl jacinth]

random unassuming player enters building that nobody has checked in several irl years and finds my HUT

[hazy helm]

Stalcraft sucks

so yhea

[pearl jacinth]

it wouldn't be like uhhhh minecraft

[hazy helm]

it is what you are asking

[pearl jacinth]

just regular stalker game except there's other players for some reason (and they kill you)

[hazy helm]

just bc it is cubic is stupid to dismiss

its just not a good game

[worn oar]

Spawn points should be defined for each faction to avoid early conflicts

[hazy helm]

bc its a PVPVE focused game with heavy MMO features wearing the skin of stalker

its not good

[pearl jacinth]

mmo features? like exp n stuff? nah that shit would kill the stalker formula

[hazy helm]

no

the grind

[pearl jacinth]

don't have much grinding

[hazy helm]

and gating progression thru equipment which you get thru activities

[pearl jacinth]

if any at all (hopefully don't have any)

[hazy helm]

so you just want DayZ

[pearl jacinth]

have it be like, an entirely optional thing. don't require an internet connection to other users to progress

[hazy helm]

which would be even worse

[hazy helm]

if you talk about FromSoft I will bit your head off your shoulders

[worn oar]

I mean if it was based on stalker universe you'll definitely play and enjoy it. Even if you don't like that game mode

[hazy helm]

no,hahahhahaha

[pearl jacinth]

literally just regular story stalker game but with a switch for "the same thing but it's online now and there's other people" is what im hinting at

[worn oar]

How dare you

[hazy helm]

please

leave

[worn oar]

That too yes. I would love to play the story but with another skiff named bro haah

[pearl jacinth]

whatd i do lma

[hazy helm]

you want GTAO Stalker

[pearl jacinth]

the hell does that even stand for

im not even suggesting they make it a thing im just like "yeah itd be a cool thing lol"

[worn oar]

Get out of here stalker

[solid dome]

Not MMO fo sho

If you can define any settings you want and host your own server, I'm all in for that

[pearl jacinth]

my favorite npc of all time is the guy that just walks around all day saying that

[pearl jacinth]

yeye that'd be cool

[worn oar]

Duty is cool you see

[hazy helm]

everytime it was attempted it sucks bc its
1-too player depandant
2-ppl suck,trying to tie any narrative to freeform RP style multiplayer will end up with griefers that disrupt it for fun,and in the end youd need more ppl to fight against them that,if it isnt good,wont work

the primary problem of online RP style games is,they are too player depandant

and then the multiplayer dies bc,nobody is playing it

[pearl jacinth]

private servers where everyone knows what they're doing would help

but then it's less easily accessible

[hazy helm]

so you want a multiplayer DayZ style game that isnt multiplayer or dayz at all

just,play the SP

[worn oar]

Yes, players who actually care for the game and came for a serious experience

[pearl jacinth]

ive got no clue what the hell a dayz is other than that it sucks

[worn oar]

Wolf is texting my ass a lot haha

[solid dome]

No, f-k the Dayz sheit. We need control over the server.

[pearl jacinth]

it's just stupid fun for the hell of it

[hazy helm]

how many times in modern day did you see a Trip A studio do private servers in games

and didnt suck

[pearl jacinth]

gsc is triple a?

[dry imp]

we commit a little fraud

[hazy helm]

this looks like a whole lot of whishfull thinking,that wont work when ptu into practice

[pearl jacinth]

that's why it doesn't have to be put into practice xd

[hazy helm]

GSC wants to be seen as a Trip A studio,I will treat them as such

[worn oar]

After stalker 2 they'll be considered AAA devs

[pearl jacinth]

that makes sense tbh

[solid dome]

Vasim with the facts

[worn oar]

It's a triple A title

[hazy helm]

I dont consider them Trip A,more Double A,and I think they are jumping the shark,but I wish them, luck

[pearl jacinth]

when are we getting quadruple a game studios

[solid dome]

Triple A title by... how do you call AA studio?

[hazy helm]

Callisto Protocol pitched its game as having Quadruple A graphics so

[pearl jacinth]

didn't that game suck ass

[worn oar]

3 more years I suppose. There is that game under development. If you saw it them you'd know it's a aaaa game haha

[hazy helm]

well Im not pointing fingers

[pearl jacinth]

we're hitting the point in graphics where they're so over detailed that players can't notice the difference between current and last gen unlike they decompile the games and look at the models really closely or something

for me it's already here

been here for a while

[pearl jacinth]

whaaat??? that's the fun part cmon

calling a game shit without once even looking at gameplay footage is the ultimate move

[hazy helm]

soon this will be a reality i bet

[solid dome]

Funk graphics

Have you ever felt games with not so detailed graphics are quite popular?

Not implying visuals should look like dirtiest shithole possible, should be acceptable, though it's not the most important stuff to deal with

[vernal magnet]

the way god intended

[vernal magnet]

funny cause this is exactly how they used to do it

[vernal magnet]

idk about all that

[hazy helm]

used to

[finite dragon]

im excited for stalker 2 :))

[solid dome]

I am deeply sick of it when I hear someone blabber about graphics this, graphics that. Fuuuuuuuuuuuunk that. Nobody buys a car to be cool on the looks cause of other people, but to be comfortable to you.

[finite dragon]

unless they is like

[gilded sentinel]

cs is still the worst game of 3 and you can’t prove me otherwise

[finite dragon]

insanely rich or something

[hazy helm]

CoP is still the worst game you cant prove me otherwise

[finite dragon]

NO

[hazy helm]

literally

SoC>CS>CoP

[gilded sentinel]

Although after replaying it , it artifact system is probably the best out there

[gilded sentinel]

Soc>Cop>Cs

[hazy helm]

wrong

you all lack vision

[solid dome]

I'm neutral on CoP

[vernal magnet]

Graphics matter but they dont come first

[solid dome]

It's not bad, it's not super good, it's not super unique. It's simply.. fine.

[vernal magnet]

Its because the story doesnt live up to its gameplay

[neat cedar]

Hola

[vernal magnet]

Howdy ho bro

[gilded sentinel]

Amigo

[solid dome]

Agree

[hazy helm]

its gameplay is pretty boring

the story is good but nothing to turn your eyes too

very one note

the ending is awful,but that should be bc of how rushed it was

[solid dome]

Damn the ending felt like randomly thrown

I never liked the hollywood movie style to it

[gilded sentinel]

“This ending doesn’t look like average call of duty mission, it’s bad urgh burg gruhg”
@hazy helm

[hazy helm]

the ending is literally a get to the chopper scene

[gilded sentinel]

At least we aren’t 1v1 an entire army , while simultaneously doing something no one ever done

[hazy helm]

the story and sidequests are told with an incredibely resounding,mhe?
the sidequests I understand and in some cases approve, but the story is very dryly told

[finite dragon]

well cs’ ending was also pretty meh

[hazy helm]

that is prety bad for a stalker game,since they are supposed to be heavely inspired by 80s-90s action movies

[vernal magnet]

idk its pretty dynamic and has solid set pieces

not so far off from SOC other than pacing tbh

[gilded sentinel]

[hazy helm]

its the most,relaxed it has ever been in the 3 games

honestly

the sidequests give some good cornerstones

[vernal magnet]

you mean the scenarios werent grandiose enough??

[hazy helm]

what,you think strelok the stalker fighting horders of monolith all while overdosing on stimpaks and modern weaponry was supposed to be a realistic depiction of ukrainian nuclear cleaners?

[hazy helm]

the writting and combat encounters I feel like

[vernal magnet]

guilty truth is that COP has alot of running and backtracking that detracts from the pacing when the time spent traveling is more relaxed. SOC was more "linear" but the pacing is much better as a result. Probably why people bend towards SOC

[hazy helm]

they dont give them enuff spark?there is something in the terms of show that is missing

[gilded sentinel]

Cop has the most real stalker experience , like you actually feel yourself to be not special (something other games failed to show) stalker isn’t about pew pew

[solid dome]

Good that lot of us get the problem with CoP

[vernal magnet]

I really think its the lack of plot driven player motivation

[gilded sentinel]

It’s about immersion , story and etc

[vernal magnet]

SOC had you invested in Strelok and its quests

[hazy helm]

you are not normal in CoP
and stalker's objective was never really to give you that gimplse of a normal stalker

they were always badasses that could fight god

which is why I say,stalker protags are brothers to Hercules

[hazy helm]

even in CS I was more invested in the writting of random quests but past general description of a quest in CoP there isn't really a lot underneath?I dunno...

[gilded sentinel]

Name me a moment in the game where we 1v1 armies, or hell just 1v1 big group of stalkers , I can name only 2 such events and both are minor and can be solved peacefully

Never in the game we doing something diabolically powerful

[hazy helm]

SoC and CS are full of them
and in CoP you are a SSU operative that goes thru tunnels with a group of individuals that cant be considered "normal"
you find the oasis a very difficult to find place,cannonically,you fight 2 chimeras,one of them alone

[gilded sentinel]

Cop , not soc or cs

[hazy helm]

you fight a horde of zombies and monolith in Pripryat

whole Prypriat

you do a lot of stuff in cop that shows,you are special

you are a SSU baddass mofo

the game has an achivement called

LIVING LEGEND

[solid dome]

Bruh, dude

Last time I completed CoP I didn't see traces of the chimera... Whatever I did wrong...

[finite dragon]

theres 2 missions

[solid dome]

I haven't seen the chimeras in 2 playthroughs already, wtf

[hazy helm]

you need to do trappers missions at yanov

[gilded sentinel]

With help of military and your companions , the only thing you do yourself is kill controller and the lab section . I’m not saying main character should be a push over , but he doesn’t have to literally fight his away through literally 100 of soldiers all by him self

[solid dome]

Suppose I skipped sheit

[gilded sentinel]

In cop you were a badass

But somehow a believable one

[hazy helm]

my point is,you are not a regular stalker,by the end of CoP,if you are doing the sidequests,as many ppl would say,you should,you are a living legend,idolised by many as a strange guy
you were a badass,an exceptional person,not Strelok or Scar,but a badass nonetheless

80s style tough guy

you could say

[vernal magnet]

maybe in plot but not so much in gameplay. stalker treats you as a vulnerable individual. The god like pedigree really only comes from being in Streloks group and the accompanied notoriety that came with being the only one to reach the center and survive

idk if that makes you Hercules necessarily

If you mean the approval Major gets by the end of COP, well, the whole ending of COP is a giant bro fest to be fair

which is one of its weaknesses. its a weird ending

[gilded sentinel]

It’s just that in cop all the things you did felt accomplishable by a trained specialist. There weren’t any too groundbreaking moments. You are a legend , you are a badass , but you aren’t a god of war

[hazy helm]

I think one of the biggest problems of CoP is how its written,you do the general rought post it description of the mission,and there isnt much about lore surronding it?
like you go to the zone to find the reason why helicopters were downed,you do that,with the most boring answer and that is it
in SoC you had a lot of in beetween and CS had interest lore written everytime you visited a place and Clear Sky gave you a lot of interesting dialogue but in CoP I dont see that much flavour surronding stuff

[vernal magnet]

Agreed the lack of lore was the issue

[solid dome]

STALKER 2 naooooooooooooooo

[dry imp]

bro what

have you even played stalker

[vernal magnet]

COP had terrific world building but needed more deep lore

[gilded sentinel]

Stfu I’m talking cop

[dry imp]

have you even played stalker

[vernal magnet]

it feels more like a companion piece to the series rather than a true numerical sequel

[gilded sentinel]

Have you ever touched grass

[dry imp]

i dont have grass here

[gilded sentinel]

[dry imp]

but yes i have touched rocks

[hazy helm]

you could call Degtyaryev a military stalker,which are,mythical creatures inside the stalker unniverse,which receive special training and treatment,he is still,not a general stalker despite scalling somewhat the power level

he is still a special individual

while not being at the height of his bros,he is not your average stalker

[vernal magnet]

he comes off a tad cliche in the story

[solid dome]

Stop whatever you're typing, listen to Tommy

[gilded sentinel]

He obviously have to be special , he’s the mc , but he’s realistically special , like something you can achieve special

[vernal magnet]

also a good protagonist needs flaws or an arc. Major didnt have much relatability to him in the way Strelok did

Major came off as a hurr durr hero

Another reason im very hopeful for Skif this time around with much higher stakes in the plot. and hopefully more philosophy like SOC

[hazy helm]

my point is that the protagonists of stalker have never been general stalkers,they were action hero type of guys that served as the players stand in to experience the zone's most wicked and interesting parts
normal stalkers dont experience those things

[vernal magnet]

to be fair you know none of this about you as the player until the twist is revealed that your strelok. So its a late game pay off

[gilded sentinel]

Exactly

[hazy helm]

the player even before the twist was the marked one
who was going places and killing ppl that no other stalker could

he is special even before the twist

the twist simply give it more meaning and lore

[vernal magnet]

not until you shut off the brain scorcher

which is much later game

[hazy helm]

taking on an entire base full of militarymen isnt a big feat?

taking on the bandits with a PMM isnt a big feat?

[vernal magnet]

not in the lore. thats just rootin tootin action shootin

[hazy helm]

going to the X16 a place nobody else dares to isnt a big feat?

[vernal magnet]

basically just gameplay

[hazy helm]

the depiction of these characters were action heroes,and marked one was treated not as a push over normal guy but a reliable and experienced individual

an exception

from the beggining

[vernal magnet]

you are a legend of the zone but your not hercules. The only difference between strelok and everyone else is intellect. even in the lore you dont survive through magical actions. you still just shoot everyone very tradtional

Strelok is just the sharpest shooter in the zone

[gilded sentinel]

He’s strelyat and he’s the Strelok

[hazy helm]

and Scar is the most tenacious merc in the zone,just a normal simple man,even tho he tore the entire zone a new hole looking for strelok

no

[vernal magnet]

Hot take. Clear Sky is spicy Half Life Opposing Force. you cant tell me when you see strelok jump in the portal its not just like when shephard sees Gordon run through the teleporter lol

[gilded sentinel]

The zone we actually see in the games are much smaller , so who knows what’s happening on the other side

[hazy helm]

Strelok and Scar are exceptional individuals,since the actions in gameplay are recorded just as big as in lore,and CoP should be no different,Deg does stuff that no typical stalker would be able to,altho he doesnt do stuff that can stand to strelok or scar

but just bc of that,doesnt mean we shouldnt call him special

[vernal magnet]

this is just plot armor though

[gilded sentinel]

A plot device it is

[vernal magnet]

any story takes some suspension of disbelief for gameplay purpose

[hazy helm]

that was what it was trying to be tho,the prequel to SoC in order to expand and say more about the zone and factions

[vernal magnet]

either your normal and the plot never happens or your strong enough to survive and somehow magical. i dont know if i agree with that

[vernal magnet]

GSC stated it was their attempt at doing SOC again

[hazy helm]

all stalker protags are magical

[vernal magnet]

which makes sense when you look at the design direction

[hazy helm]

skif needs to be the next generation of ukrainian bio soldiers unveiling the conspiracy of soviet telecomunication with aliens thru the power of magical stones or its simply not stalker

[gilded sentinel]

The actual gsc or the new one ?

[hazy helm]

who do you think made CS?

[gilded sentinel]

The new one ?

[solid dome]

Old one, lol

[hazy helm]

Well so far

Its Ok
Not like soc or cop

[gilded sentinel]

Ogsm is the stuff

[neat cedar]

Yeah atleast its not vanilla

[hazy helm]

he hasnt even played CS dont saddle it on

[neat cedar]

I started

[pearl jacinth]

now that i know how destructive that sentence is, i will bring it up every time someone mentions the you-know-what really popular mod that people play without playing the games

[gilded sentinel]

He already on ogsm

[hazy helm]

why?

[neat cedar]

Bcz i hate vanilla

[gilded sentinel]

Why not ?

[hazy helm]

you didnt even play it

[hazy helm]

bc he didnt even play CS

[solid dome]

Think I made irreversible mistake, everyone

[neat cedar]

Atill i dont care

[gilded sentinel]

Ogsm is basically vanilla , with astonishing 1 new location , which makes sense

[hazy helm]

so its not vanilla

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/nic-cage-nicolas-cage-slap-mom-and-dad-inhale-gif-22714577

[gilded sentinel]

It’s vanilla but better

[hazy helm]

how arrogant

[neat cedar]

Vanilla< mods

[gilded sentinel]

You should play anomaly when you’re done with that

[hazy helm]

its not vanilla at all

[vernal magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/smh-kanye-west-dumbass-no-gif-20416798

Ironic. Clear Sky is the best of the games in vanilla form

[neat cedar]

No

[gilded sentinel]

Did you actually try ogsm or just saying it because mod ?

[neat cedar]

He dont do mods

[gilded sentinel]

Just want to know , bc everyone I know love it

[vernal magnet]

No cap frfr ClearSky vanilla is the best sky

[hazy helm]

no matter the mod a person should play vanilla first

[neat cedar]

You just made the rule up

[hazy helm]

OGSR is a pretty good mod
Im not gonna reocmmend it to new ppl

[neat cedar]

Whats ogsr

[hazy helm]

its been here since ages

[gilded sentinel]

It took you 3 games to realise this guy won’t play vanilla de facto ?

[neat cedar]

How do i download

[hazy helm]

serega lus has a repack on moddb

[gilded sentinel]

Agreed , but forcing people to play something they just fundamentally don’t want to play is wrong

[hazy helm]

tricking ppl into believing a mod that changes this much is vanilla is even worse

like sure you can do that but you need to tell them its in the end a mod

[gilded sentinel]

He asked and I answered

i mean anybody can play mods ive put tons of hours into AA2.1 but i wouldnt dare touch mods until i finished the actual games. Otherwise yes this is a fundamentally incorrect approach. if they dont wanna play vanilla at all maybe they dont really wanna play stalker if they are going to approach it that way

[neat cedar]

[gilded sentinel]

[vernal magnet]

nah man people just hate STALKER being judged on the premise of mods vs the actual games GSC made. its not about forcing players to go vanilla, its about fielding a bunch of incorrect judgment on the games based off of mods

[neat cedar]

I made a great gym shake

Vasim guess what

[vernal magnet]

imagine making a game and people just circumvent everything making it what it is and then complain that everything wrong with the modded games is your fault as the developer. yikes

[gilded sentinel]

Good luck bratan

[neat cedar]

What is nlc7

[hazy helm]

hardcore game built upon SoC

[neat cedar]

It looks bad

[worn oar]

Clear sky is the worst game in the series. Pretty much the most unstable game of the 3 and it's due to the short development duration. SHoC is the best of emm all, then comes CoP and CS

[gilded sentinel]

Stalker , but youranus hurts

[neat cedar]

Actually nvm it looks good i like the gun models

[neat cedar]

Damn

I hate cs

[gilded sentinel]

Surprisingly , one of the best weapon packs I ever saw

Can’t say anything bad about it

[neat cedar]

Not better than bas

[hazy helm]

both CoP and CS had the same dev time

[neat cedar]

I might try nlc after cs

[gilded sentinel]

Debatable

[neat cedar]

Not debatable

sorry bro

[neat cedar]

Why

[hazy helm]

I didnt mean to give you hope

there is a reason why almost nobody plays NLC7

[neat cedar]

🗿

Bro ca is so hard

The landscape makes it so hard

[worn oar]

Yes but one is better than the other. CoP got it better just because it had Jupiter underground mission you know. Otherwise, I would've said CS was second in ranking haha

[hazy helm]

jupiter,the slow and boring mission where you need to wait for NPCs to walk 4 meters every 10 seconds

riveting gameplay

[worn oar]

I smell trauma haha

[hazy helm]

from boredom?yes

[worn oar]

Didn't really have a problem, if you exclude damn snorks

[hazy helm]

I had more fun carrying the mitaryman's corpse to swamps in NLC7

like I really like that idea

[solid dome]

Snorkels, I hate them

[hazy helm]

for a stalker game

the idea of physically carrying something somewhere is cool to me IDK

[worn oar]

Jupiter mission had plenty of them. You have no idea how much screaming and swearing I did passing that part

[worn oar]

I loved the concept. I played it for like 10mins so I know what your talking abt

[hazy helm]

youre not the most vulnerable,the tricky part of jupiter is keeping everybody alive

Graphics good

Why does scar survive emissions tho

Why does emissions even happen

[pearl jacinth]

got that dawg in him

[neat cedar]

If he survives it would be better

[vernal magnet]

yes clear sky was the "worst" of the 3 but it is the best vanilla game. It has the best vanilla visuals of the 3, and the mods for it dont really change up the game fundamentally in the way SOC and COP mods did. When i replay Clear sky i dont even need graphic mods. maybe something like absolute nature but you dont even need that.

[neat cedar]

And lebedev is stupid

[vernal magnet]

the zone like all things people are afraid of, their first reaction is to destroy or authoritative over it. which are bad outcomes

[neat cedar]

emissions was my worst enemy in cop

[pearl jacinth]

they almost always happen when im sleeping or already indoors

[neat cedar]

[sand fiber]

I disagree with your political views but have nothing against you.

[tender prairie]

I don't see the connection

[sand fiber]

it's fine

[tender prairie]

I don't even know if I am, I don't care much for these political alignments.

[pearl jacinth]

there are no politics in the zone. only factions.

Someone tried to sneak through the ventilation shaft to plant TNT on the main control panel

[wide aspen]

[solid dome]

Was caught trying to escape with his schlong stuck in between the bars of one grating

You enter naked in the Brain Scorcher complex not to have some parts of your clothing trigger a sensor

[pearl jacinth]

[wide aspen]

[pearl jacinth]

[solid dome]

[ashen flame]

got a question on stalker lore. do any other countries know about the exclusion zone or is it a secret?

[solid dome]

The whole world knows

[pearl jacinth]

military's there so i'd assume they know

[wide aspen]

gotta use the torlet

[pearl jacinth]

WHERE

[solid dome]

Lore wise, people came from all corners of the world. Africa even, as far as I can remember. @ashen flame

[pearl jacinth]

the reason why everyone speaks in eastern european accents anyways is because thats just what the zone does to a man

[ashen flame]

i forgot that there were foreign mercenaries as a faction, thanks for telling me

[solid dome]

Where I have heard the Africa part and the stuffed mutants?

[pearl jacinth]

since last night i now understand what "marked one what the hell" was referencing and i think that was the funniest scene ive ever seen come from a video game

[solid dome]

It's the most funny quote having nothing funny about if you know what I mean

[pearl jacinth]

"marked one?! what the hell?!"
the marked one in question:

[solid dome]

Anytime you hear it, you burst in laugh - it's a phenomenon

I am not sure where it came from, meme I guess?

[pearl jacinth]

theres a part in the ||true ending|| where you ||get teleported back to sidorovich bunker for a couple seconds before teleporting back, it scares the shit out of him and that's where he says that||

some people like to charge a grenade directly before it

[neat cedar]

hows everyone rn

[pearl jacinth]

[neat cedar]

[pearl jacinth]

[solid dome]

No

[neat cedar]

[pearl jacinth]

[solid dome]

Translating SoC aka modding copium

Trying not to lose my shi, in short

[neat cedar]

[solid dome]

Bulgarian.

This piece of turd has been in the making for 3 years now. I haven't touched anything in a year and half.

[pearl jacinth]

translating bandits swearing sounds fun

[solid dome]

Reworking everything cuz you don't like certain parts is even more fun

Masochism

[neat cedar]

lmao

[solid dome]

I may be sent to the asylum before I finish the whole package

Who knows, perhaps I can keep doing it there, hah

[pearl jacinth]

why did you do this

[solid dome]

You ever had momends you wanted to perfect your craft?

[neat cedar]

What is the hardest bases to raid in stalker

[pearl jacinth]

the military ones iirc

[quiet osprey]

Does anyone have any links to the original "Oblivion Lost 2010" mod were you receive the Arisaka rifle in the rookie village? I swear this is the only mod you cant find anymore

[finite dragon]

Hello, everyone. How are you doing?

[solid dome]

Suffering

No news, our future, stalkers, is bleak.

[finite dragon]

Guess we are on the same boat

[solid dome]

Our future is in danger in this dry land

We preordered the wrong tickets

And we were sent to the ...

[finite dragon]

I hope the preorder bonuses can be bought separately

[solid dome]

To the Drylag

[wise blaze]

yall. Im trying to do some quick math on timeline of video game launches. I am trying to figure out if hardly any news 7 months before a possible release is normal

is anyone familiar with the timeline of a game that I could use to compare? im trying to do that with destiny since thats what Im familiar with but im finding it hard to pinpoint the announcments

[solid dome]

What for?

[wise blaze]

bored and "worried" about the game haha

[solid dome]

Come join the 100 Rats Bar. We have enough drinks to sink our worries into.

[wise blaze]

like, destiny was dropping hints about it 5 years prior. it was officially announced 1 year before and had a beta 5 months prior to launch. so compared to 1 game we should be looking at some more stuff soon. destiny is similar too since it was delayed.

but, they also had live gameplay footage a year before. we have 0 or next to 0 gameplay footage rn for stalker

COD is usually completely announced like 9ish months before its yearly release basically right?

[hazy path]

For AAA game published by microsoft, no lol

may the wind be under GSC's wings

[wise blaze]

destiny was 1000% not AAA in 2014. if thats what u mean

[hazy path]

it's not, I never played it and I live in 2023, when microsuck is busy trying to buy the whole world

[wise blaze]

microsoft hasnt ever had anything to do with it tho?

[hazy path]

its an xbox/gamepass exclusive, which means they got money from microsoft, basically

and considering how their exclusives/gamepass offerings are not looking so hot I imagine they are really waiting for a graphical powerhouse game to show off

[wise blaze]

? its not and never has. its only ever had sony exlusive

[hazy path]

stalker 2? are you high?

[wise blaze]

oh. you mean stalker. im talking about destiny

[hazy path]

yeah I'm talkin 'bout stalker 2. if you're worried about the shape of the game, that's pretty well-founded concern
