[solid dome]

I am done waiting and I'll deffo not buy day 1 cuz of this

[granite coral]

We haven't seen much real in-game video so far, and that's a bad sign in my opinion.

[solid dome]

You can't play with people and then pretend all you did is for the customer gain and not your personal interests, lol

[granite coral]

If you preorder the game cancel it and wait for until a release date

[solid dome]

I never preordered any item in my life, deffo never would preorder a product kept in silence for 3+ years having preorder campaign kicked years before it should

[granite coral]

Yup same here

[solid dome]

It's not serious, bro - preorders kicked before the war happened, so no excuses here

[granite coral]

One thing I can't understand is why are they always silent and not explaining anything? Are they afraid of something?

[amber tendon]

yes they are

[solid dome]

What people fail to realize cause they are damn naive is... okay they may have real reason to keep pushing things away and it may be for the customer's good... although what matter is the principle

[granite coral]

What is it?

[solid dome]

No principles here to be seen, none are demonstrated at least as honesty is absent

[amber tendon]

first impression

leak is already damaging impressions like it or not

[granite coral]

I think they doing wrong because if they show us a real gameplay of the game it is better for us

[amber tendon]

there is no real gameplay because the game is not done

not that "there is nothing to show"

[granite coral]

Yes thats what I said before

[solid dome]

Damaging? You for real?

Leak is doing customers' favor imho

[amber tendon]

damaging sales for gsc

I wasn't talking about customers

[solid dome]

They are causing more damages keeping basic information away from us...

[granite coral]

The new leak will cause the game to be delayed once again.

[solid dome]

If you think the leak does more damages than the lack of communication... hell I've been born in space

[amber tendon]

what do they have to say

[solid dome]

Who says it isn't delayed already, weeks or even months ago?

[amber tendon]

like are they supposed to show dev logs?

[granite coral]

I'm just saying ok

Will the game come out before the end of 2024? I don't believe anymore.

[nimble cipher]

Krezzin#7223 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solid dome]

Did you really......................

[amber tendon]

DMs

[solid dome]

I am not gonna type that again

[amber tendon]

short version?

[solid dome]

Screw this bot

Straight up censorship wherever you want

When people say the truth, the bot goes to take away their words, lmao

[granite coral]

To tell you the truth, I'm going in and out of the channel now because there is no new information.

[amber tendon]

dev logs are a thing for a game that releases in early access

like I am genuinely curios what do you mean by communication, do you just want to hear how ready the game is or?

[granite coral]

They removed RU & ask_gsc channels and lost many members

Which is not a good move

[clever cedar]

yeah

they are supressing their russian community which i don't think is a good idea, considering they're a lot if the fans

[civic lava]

@finite dragon fun fact, the leak was send to the russia hackers by americans, so, ban the en channels to be fair

[clever cedar]

true!

[granite coral]

Why they removed ask_gsc channel too?

[clever cedar]

funny

[civic lava]

to not ask for russia channels

[amber tendon]

what is there to ask?

[solid dome]

Actually no channels were removed

[clever cedar]

for russian channels

[granite coral]

I can't see that channels

[clever cedar]

so true krezzin

[amber tendon]

ask what

[clever cedar]

wdym i literally just said

[full estuary]

oof what's happening here

[clever cedar]

[amber tendon]

I am talking about what questions are there left for ask_gsc

[hazy helm]

okay talking is cool but lets not get too heated yhe

stalker is cool

you like stalker

I like stalker

we like stalker

[solid dome]

You can't see them because you don't have permissions to do so

[amber tendon]

no lets settle this as to why russian channels and ask_gsc was removed

[clever cedar]

idk nothing. everything was answered with "NDA" anyway

[granite coral]

It seems to me that deleting channels completely is not the right way because of a few idiots.

[hazy helm]

so huh how about we drop this now

yhea?

[amber tendon]

like is it cool to recieve constant death threats?

[clever cedar]

what? we cant talk about gsc?

[civic lava]

we all love each other, the thing we hate the most is the bad decisions that are killing this community

[hazy helm]

we cant get political

do a group DM or whatever

[clever cedar]

this isnt politics at all

[solid dome]

Constant death threats? How can you justify this argument with no real evidence in public?

[amber tendon]

I read them.

[hazy helm]

Im jus warning you if it gets too heated Im muting someone

[balmy hound]

Ok i'm here 👀

[hazy helm]

this is like the gateway

[clever cedar]

i don't doubt there are death threats. people on the internet do stuff like that

[solid dome]

Tell us where so we can do too

[clever cedar]

krezzin its the internet

[granite coral]

Whoever is retarded will be kicked out of the channel and the channels will remain so that the members will not be lost. I think that's right.

[solid dome]

Then thats trolling

[civic lava]

theres dumb people everywhere, answer those dudes with even more fire its what is just flaming they hatredeven more

[amber tendon]

go to youtube and see how much traction jackarses are getting for waving a excel table of devs addresses

[solid dome]

I often see people respond like - the company doesn't owe anyone anything. Yet the company wouldn't exist if it isn't people funding it through purchases, so...

[civic lava]

touche

[amber tendon]

well it so happens they decided they don't need money from people that hate them

[solid dome]

Where are you trying to take the topic?

[amber tendon]

I am trying to say it was justified.

[granite coral]

It's a huge mistake to miss the biggest event of the year, but they don't realize it.

[solid dome]

You are talking from political standpoint, I am talking about the lack of honesty

[amber tendon]

about what

[civic lava]

you don't mess around hum ?

[solid dome]

We're literally conversing on 2 different topics

[clever cedar]

[regal sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDrXMQrclpY
lmaooo its so funny when he names the cons

[mental mirage]

is stalker gonna be on xbox games showcase today?

[clever cedar]

no

[granite coral]

No

[regal sapphire]

bc hes really pissed

[amber tendon]

no

[amber tendon]

please repeat what we were talking about, to put me in place

[mental mirage]

damn 😦

[solid dome]

If GSC management was community-driven, it wouldn't have done the NFC crap at first

[amber tendon]

true

[solid dome]

That is where you should start form if discussing the topic of honesty

[amber tendon]

yet people changed it

community said that there is no benefit in it and they removed it

[solid dome]

Yeah they did, unlike now, they don't want to change their lacklustre behavior

[balmy hound]

Come on, it's old stories and they withdrew it.

[solid dome]

thus people accept it how it is

If people could do it then, they can do it now

[solid dome]

Cause they had no option not to and were caught being greedy asf

[amber tendon]

how are they supposed to behave, what are they supposed to do?

[balmy hound]

The thing I don't understand for today, it's that everything was indicating that there would be something today, the processes were supposed to be (relatively) back on track, there has been some teasing lately.

[amber tendon]

is it about removal of the channels or...?

[granite coral]

They must now tell us the truth and telling the truth is not the end of the world IMO.

[amber tendon]

3 or 4 days before event they said that they aren't participating

[balmy hound]

I know, and I don't understand why

And it's hard to wait

[amber tendon]

simply nothing ready to show

[amber tendon]

what behaviour do you want from them what are they supposed to do in your opinion

[solid dome]

Why do I feel like you're taking a side which isn't yours?

[amber tendon]

I just want to hear it

maybe you will convince me or I am not understanding

[shrewd radish]

🚿

[solid dome]

They are supposed to come out with 100% transparent statement regarding, at first, the release. When you can't hold a deadline few times in a row, throw a honest one:

hey, folks, we've had enough already, what we tried didn't work well, we won't bull you till the end of times... the cooks aren't ready with the meal yet and have to refine the recipe, throw something in, throw something out, make sure all the details are spot on. when the time comes, we'll hit you with the actual release date to expect the banger to come out. until then, here, have a footage captured ingame of the A-Life 2.0 system of an encounter between 2 mutants and 2 loners, for example.

SEVEN lines of text does much better marketing than actual marketing campaign of shredding tons of pre-edited assets, cringe interviews, meme-y posts on social media, so on

[amber tendon]

True but if they won't have deadline "on paper" their contract with microsoft might be over, it's already at risk if another delay happens

besides not having release date never sets when development actually ends

[solid dome]

You're trying to convince people the coin has 3 sides

[amber tendon]

they will lose partnership

partnership is money, money used for development

no money - no development, no progress

and it will freeze again

[worn oar]

What is this commotion

[amber tendon]

because I thought you are talking about channels removal

[solid dome]

It's truth vs whatever-you-want

[amber tendon]

not release date or how development is going

[solid dome]

I responded to the one guy who asked, however I was talking generally about the lack of transparency

[worn oar]

Krezzin making the commotion huh

Come boy, what's the problem now

[solid dome]

I don't have a problem, GSC are those armed with them

[amber tendon]

you have 2 pages of questions, you do have a problem

[solid dome]

You are real wrong, it's 12 or so

[amber tendon]

not mental one

[worn oar]

Come, tell me how this started ?

[solid dome]

See how he tries to make me to look like I have mental disability, lol

[worn oar]

Things heated up here

[amber tendon]

excuse me I tab out of discord and see naked Ichiban naked wtf

[amber tendon]

you don't

[worn oar]

This jugo boy is the devil himself xD

[solid dome]

At least Harry showed his real opinion on the topic of Stalker 2

I thought he was with the community

[balmy hound]

Almost every trailer is 2024 or "early 2024", again.

[solid dome]

[worn oar]

@solid dome stfu for a min and tell me what got you guys into this cycle

[amber tendon]

are community a single minded organism with same brain?

[worn oar]

Come to the arena @alpine cairn , you need some punching

[amber tendon]

or no my question to you @solid dome , what difference will it make if the thing gets constantly delayed or if the release date will be set to tba

will it solve the development problem?

like if you and I ready to wait then whats the problem?

[clever cedar]

yes.

the community is a hivemind

a collectively low intelligence community

[amber tendon]

Krezziiiiiiiiiin

[worn oar]

Push ups now

[clever cedar]

done

[worn oar]

Good

[clever cedar]

[amber tendon]

@solid dome WHERE DID YOU GO!?!

DON'T LEAVE ME

[worn oar]

Okay, we are not a hive mind! Everyone here has his own opinion and welcome to share it.

[clever cedar]

wrong

[worn oar]

But keep it cool guys, it's not worth the tension

[clever cedar]

no one is allowed to have opinions

only i am

and i have an opinion about how cool you are

[amber tendon]

I am sad that I've upset Krezzin

[worn oar]

Development choice was set from the beginning, there is no point in arguing now abt it. The team should've came closer to the community yes, but it's not a requirement. It all does not matter since we will all wait anyways.

[icy prism]

Holy molly, so far it's been a pretty boring event to tell the truth.... I need my STALKER 2...

[worn oar]

Your Colonel is here, perhaps you'd like to say his opinion is what really matters now

[icy prism]

I'm sad...

[amber tendon]

Blizzard pulling pve camaign on the show despite cancelling it

funny

[clever cedar]

ignored!

[clever cedar]

i think it's well worth discussing because its true they are neglecting their communities

[worn oar]

I'll destroy your muscles with push-ups then. Get on with it stalker

Or you'll be punished and sent to fend off monoliths far away from rostok

[worn oar]

Ik man, I said that already

[clever cedar]

you have no power colonel. you were demoted last summer.

[worn oar]

But we can not just get into tension for it! All we have now is each other!

[solid dome]

We can move to DM, I am not talking about it anymore as I'll likely be banned

[worn oar]

Who said so? Why am I still in the office then? Who told you this stupid rumor soldier?

[worn oar]

Why would you be? You won't

[clever cedar]

your office is where the loners sleep in the bar

your delusions need to stop

[balmy hound]

GSC is not neglecting their community, actually they are doing a great job, but I think they should reconsider the total-secret communication policy. Waiting in the dark for something is really exhausting.

[worn oar]

Whatever you said is your opinion, no need to get into unnecessary conclusions

[clever cedar]

they have neglected an entire group

[worn oar]

Dummmass, do you mistake me for shulga? My office is just in front of voronin crazy man

[icy prism]

It's unbelievable that the most interesting thing they showed so far was Starfield, and even the trailer crashed. You can't trust Bethesda honestly.

[balmy hound]

I haven't seen one conference without a crash since thursday

They all crashed at some point

[clever cedar]

[clever cedar]

wait really 💀

[icy prism]

yeah xDDD

[worn oar]

I'll let this slide this time, but you won't be saved from push-ups! 50 now

[clever cedar]

done

[worn oar]

Good, now go help the garbage outpost. Scouts reported a wave of mutants advancing

[clever cedar]

i am always at the garbage outpost

[balmy hound]

If they showed already Starfield, on what are they going to end ? I'm here with my 5% hope to see Stalker 2, but it feels like the Prophecy is true and i'm wasting my time for nothing.

[clever cedar]

i was assigned there by the actual colonel

[icy prism]

They showed a couple more interesting games as well, all indies with interesting mechanics. But the only high level stuff is from Bugthesda so far. They also showed some of the CP2077 expansion.

[worn oar]

which one? I over rank them all if you dont know soldier

[clever cedar]

this guy!

[clever cedar]

stalker 2 will not be shown

[gleaming ruin]

Is that confirmed?

[clever cedar]

yes

[icy prism]

Yes

[balmy hound]

Officially yes

[clever cedar]

mr gsc said it himself

[gleaming ruin]

Damn, I was looking forward to it

[clever cedar]

true

[worn oar]

beware the command stalker

[gleaming ruin]

I feel like a delay is inevitable, not that it’s a bad thing

[clever cedar]

i have always said 2024

[prime spade]

even Q1 2024 is looking out of expectations

[gleaming ruin]

I’m thinking end of year next year personally

[prime spade]

shame really, I was hoping it would be done this year, but probably not

[gleaming ruin]

I’d rather it release good

I’m excited to see what the modding community will create

[shell sky]

nothing shown in xbox showcase :(

[gleaming ruin]

Hopefully not a bunch of anomaly clones

[vernal magnet]

thank god GSC didnt show at xbox that was the worst showcase ever

[clever whale]

So 2024 i gues

[vernal magnet]

id rather nothing steal the spotlight when they drop a trailer

it was all anime games lol

[gleaming ruin]

Definitely a lot of them lol

[worn oar]

I did not pay attention to the event since it didnt had stalker lol

[shell sky]

maybe on the pc showcase?

[gleaming ruin]

Star Wars and avowed and fable were in the showcase so it wasn’t a complete loss for me

[verbal flax]

nothing about stalker in the xbox showcase?

[gray flame]

No Stalker 2...... 😦

[solid prism]

We still have the extended show in 2 days

[balmy hound]

It's true that the extended show is more third party games-oriented, but honnestly...

[solid prism]

but you never know

[full estuary]

gsc said that they won't show anything in any of the upcoming showcases this month

so yea we just cope big time

[woeful crown]

Wann kommt Stalker 2 raus? Es hieß ja Mal 2023

[full estuary]

[woeful crown]

Stalker 2 Release?

[solid dome]

GSC as in development capacity, isn't neglecting anyone. Other part of it is.

[worn oar]

Father Krezzin, lets go hunt some mutants to cool down some steam.

Ill escort you later to the wish.G as we planned days ago

pack your things, we'll be leaving soon

[solid dome]

Nah I am finishing this stuff and gonna watch a movie

Sunday Night Classic Rewatch kind of thing at work, lmao

[worn oar]

okay then mister

ill go on my own

[fringe steppe]

guys at the outro

of the xbox event

was that a small frame of stalker 2

i cant send images here

[sturdy zodiac]

The door closing for a few seconds, you mean?

[fringe steppe]

yeah

[sturdy zodiac]

It was a horror game they showed earlier in the presentation

[fringe steppe]

oh

ok sorry, i didnt know

[grave nimbus]

well, cya in 2024 everyone

[sturdy zodiac]

Still Wakes The Deep was the name of it

[fringe steppe]

i mean, this one looked kinda interisting for me

[worn oar]

they talked a min abt stalker then moved on

they said that the game wont be showing up and that they expect it to be out this year thats it

[still nymph]

Shame we didnt see any stalker but atleast starfield kept it interesting

[solid dome]

Sturdfelt will never be interesting

[worn oar]

the event was too damn static..

[amber tendon]

I slept through it

[azure dock]

Link?

[austere oak]

yeah I'm curious if someone can point to a clip of it

[cosmic remnant]

Man, I just finished the game and I just in the end I was aware there's a flashlight already, I didn't even know about the night vision up til now

[worn oar]

https://youtu.be/salx77J-dCE something around the middle xD

-3:27:00 ?

[icy prism]

Do you know what is the next event where we might see something from STALKER 2?

[hazy helm]

huh?

[solid dome]

No more events, major ones - Gamescom highly unlikely, as this company never ever been there

[solid dome]

[worn oar]

the mentioned stalker for 30 secs xD

[hazy helm]

timestamp it

[worn oar]

thats it HAHA

exactly .. the guy wanted a link and got it

[azure dock]

Where did they mention it though?

Also IGN isn't official.

[worn oar]

it made the live stream man

[tulip maple]

Hoping for stalker news

But did not get any

[amber tendon]

They said 4 days prior they wouldn't participate

[tulip maple]

Hoping we get sothing big

[hazy helm]

you came late

[civic lava]

redpilled

[potent bluff]

GSC didn't show up at the Xbox event because the star of the show is Starfield, not because they have nothing to show.

I think....

Maybe they will surprise us at the Xbox extended showcase like they did last year.

I'm coping so hard rn

[nimble escarp]

no stalker 2 news at arguably the biggest video game event of the year. that's a little... concerning

starting to wonder if I should roll back my pre order and wait until it actually releases.

[balmy hound]

You may want to check out first the extended showcase tuesday same time. Last year Stalker 2 was there, it's more third-party game oriented (patnerships with Microsoft).

But the more or less official statement was clear, no Stalker 2 in conferences in june.

[devout canyon]

If there was peace between rusia and ukraine

[nimble escarp]

From a marketing point of view I can't understand that decision. Starfield is at the top of steam sales right now just for releasing a couple of trailers.

If they plan to release this year, this is the best opportunity to hype people

By not being present (if that's the case), it would cause FUD and people would be apprehensive to pre-order, or cancel pre-orders.

[devout canyon]

The S2 leaks are not even good at all (didn't want to see them since it could ruin my exploration in the brand new zone)

[balmy hound]

I feel the opposite : from a marketing point of view, hyping just before release could be enough as a strategy, but I thought there were some kind of green lights showing that we would hear about S2 there.

I don't understand neither.

[white wind]

Maybe gsc is just a shy company.

[solid dome]

GSC is half functioning company, you wanted to say

[versed basin]

they said they'd share news in the upcoming months didn't they? that's when they'll announce the delay into next year imo

[solid dome]

It's easy to understand, take a look deeper and the reasoning comes out on top: incurable corporate greed - when you want to earn money with minimum effort given. What else it can be?

[worn oar]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-glance-monkey-gif-21621791

Living in times where people are so material they think money can buy the moon.

working in the duty bunker can grant you some good free time boy

so when nobody is looking, I get some sleep

[bronze rune]

I already know stalker 2 will be good

[oblique thistle]

Stalker 2 with gore

I wanna see some more blood other than the most gore we have right now in all stalker games, that is being torn apart by a vortex anomaly

[bronze rune]

Same

[clever cedar]

tbh a good blood system could be cool. like when you make them bleed, they could leave an actual trail of blood. and when you hit them, splatters would land on the walls and ground

[somber iron]

can you guys tell me how many doors are able to unlock at brain schorcher underground?

[oblique thistle]

69

[finite dragon]

[oblique thistle]

Unfunny joke i know

I had to, i have been possessed by your average redditor

hi stalkers

so i was just playing, and ofc this is not the first time i do this but it's the first time it hits my mind that this is maybe wrong to kill the other factions bosses or important characters, so i'm a loner and i walked pass the mercs base and i thought it'd fight them and i killed all o them including what looked like two important characters, the mechanic and someoen else, and i'm just wondering if this is bad or could effect the game in some way or i shouldn't kill them 'yet' and just role play and run away
any advice pls lol
also tell me if this isn't the right channel to ask questions like that on

[civic lava]

anomaly moment

[amber tendon]

if it's soc, it doesn't effect the story

[civic lava]

where is the merc base in soc

check his bio

[amber tendon]

or right dead city isn't in vanilla

[civic lava]

its a certified anomaly moment

[grave hearth]

Anomaly

[civic lava]

anomaly

[amber tendon]

don't bother

[amber tendon]

true ending?

[civic lava]

join the monolith is the true ending

[deep sierra]

Yes

[amber tendon]

cool

[deep sierra]

Monolith is cringe, join duty and save the world

[civic lava]

as far as i know furrys are not allowed in duty

[stray ibex]

lol fr

[hazy helm]

At this this point itd be easier to contain it in a channel named after it since ppl so not see the literal #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[stray ibex]

im' overthinking my overthinking rn

[stray ibex]

no i'm playing anomaly

[amber tendon]

Still doesn't effect it

[stray ibex]

ik but i kidna want to roleplay and play realistically lol

[hazy helm]

I was gonna say somethign stupid then I remember its anomaly

[fluid abyss]

💀

[amber tendon]

Haha, Anomalies.

[hazy helm]

Me rn

[stray ibex]

what's with anomalyy lool is there something i don't know? i feel like i been living under a rock

[civic lava]

if you kill the duty and freedom leaders you can cripple the factions enough to make they declare neutrality over you until you start another killing spree, is the faction dynamics relation

[fluid abyss]

Vanilla: 👍
Anomaly: 👎

[stray ibex]

wwhhyy lol

[hazy helm]

I mean this channel is for vanilla discussions but its not like the en side of the server has ever followed guidelines

me included

[fluid abyss]

Fax cuz the en side of the server is based

[stray ibex]

crazy

[amber tendon]

Instead of being story driven, anomaly is more for shooting at stuff

[hazy helm]

Im still waiting for confidential military docs to be leaked
Preferably of the new Abrams
That thing looks snazzy

[fluid abyss]

Nooo

No leaking info pls, we don’t need the UA mods to flood into the EN channels

[stray ibex]

anyways.. thx ig everyone i'mma just go mmm shoot some stuff

[fluid abyss]

[hazy helm]

dont you want to look at the manual of that thing?god

In Minecraft I mean

[fluid abyss]

I’m not a tanker so it doesn’t really interest me

[tepid ibex]

Out of curiousity. Is anyone going to Pyrkon this weekend? The stalkers of "Stalker Pyrlandia" had namaged to organize a proper stalker village this year

[amber tendon]

A what

[full estuary]

why they keep joining us doe

[clever cedar]

[hazy helm]

Leave the poor 14 y old alone

[tepid ibex]

How should I explain it. These "villages" are usually semi-official meeting grounds for fans of specific genre or franchise. Instead of having to snatch chairs and tables from the canteen, we'll be giving our own piece of land on the convent

[hazy helm]

Basically like that goodsprings event they did

[tepid ibex]

Oh right, Pyrkon is the largest convent in Poland.

[clever cedar]

i had to silver stud react

[amber tendon]

Oh no I don't think ukrainian stalkers are going anywhere

[solid dome]

@fluid abyss Predictions on Stalker 2?

[oblique thistle]

I want sum more Npc dialogues with one another in different places other than the campfire only in S2

[fluid abyss]

Another delay

Actual gameplay reveal is gonna be a bit jank (for better or for worse, I can’t say)

I predict the game feel of the game will be strangely “light but slow” if that makes sense

However without any further announcements my predictions are mostly only just shots in the dark

[thorny hill]

should i get into stalker gamma or anomaly

i tried clear sky again and its still buggy as all heck so i wanna try out the mods

[solid dome]

If you go the Anomaly or Gamma territory, you'll be banned from STOC for lifetime. Make up your mind.

[thorny hill]

STOC?

As in base game?

[clever cedar]

stoc is this server

STalker Official Community or something

anyway do not play gamma or anomaly

unless you are familiar with the base stalker

[pearl jacinth]

if you do so without being familiar with base game then the gsc mafia will drone strike your home

[oblique thistle]

Tampico my beloved is gone

Disappeared without a trace

[worn oar]

2 months delay! And maybe another delay afterwards 🤷 but the initial 2months delay is fixed for me

[worn oar]

You scared him off soldier

[clever cedar]

does he know

[oblique thistle]

Idk

[fluid abyss]

I think it stands for Stalker Two Official Community

But idk for certain

[thorny hill]

oh ive played a lot of base game dw ❤️

[fluid abyss]

Then play it again

[worn oar]

I played the base game at least 11 times lol! You can't say a lot unless you are somewhere near that many times haha

11 times but 2 endings are not yet achieved. I got spoiled so no point of trying to get them while I began to know the requirements 🙃

[sharp otter]

Do knife only run

[worn oar]

Did that once! Fr

Got the merc suit from the attic and ran through the game with nothing but energy drinks and medkits

Anti rads and vodka too

I loot a place and run like hell past non neutrals

If I remember right, wish granter ending was reached in like 3hs or a lil more considering the times I died

[bronze garden]

Will the sarcophagus be like the older one or the newer one (like an airplane hangar, round top)

[fluid abyss]

Gamers

What if Skif himself was an anomaly? It would explain the save/load feature

Skif is in some kind of weird quantum time loop dealio

and people have become aware

they want him so they can extract whatever is giving him his power

His Heart… of Chornobyl

[worn oar]

Too much vodka for today! Get some sleep stalker

[fluid abyss]

No! I need to make the perfect artifact infused vodka

[fresh fiber]

Yes. I only asked cause people here were coping. Even though GSC said they won't attend

And I didn't watch the event myself

[worn oar]

Get a soul, pierce it in the middle, and then pour some vodka there! Don't clean the dust inside

[vapid current]

My god, Clear Sky is the Dark Souls of the trilogy

[brazen wigeon]

honestly clear sky wasnt that bad

[hazy helm]

Clear Sky wasnt bad at all,its a good game

[brazen wigeon]

honestly same

i kinda liked it more than shoc besides the story

the upgrade system, the new locations, the hunting rifle, ntm how beautiful the game looks

also i just love the clear sky faction

[olive onyx]

meow

[vapid current]

I mean yeah it's pretty cool and the gunplay is better than the SOC ACCURACY GODDAMN

[loud aspen]

Has GSC said which platform the PC Ultimate Physical Edition will be on? Hoping it's Steam

[hazy helm]

its steam

[shrewd radish]

Hey is it true that the only exosuit you can get in Clear Sky you can get if you finish Freedoms Quest to Destroy the Duty Base?

oh Nevermind

Its Just that there you can get the Freedom Version of the Exosuit

[brazen wigeon]

the freedom version is really good

especially in combat

[shrewd radish]

the thing is I'm Playing Loner

[brazen wigeon]

ah i see

[shrewd radish]

therefore i think ill just saveup for the normal one

[brazen wigeon]

makes sense thats how I first play clear sky

honestly i never really like the exos

in clear sky i just decided to get a upgraded cs3-a

[shrewd radish]

i mean its actually my seconds playthrough first was with duty but stopped playing on that one kind of didnt enjoy so i started again and played as loner

[brazen wigeon]

ah k

[shrewd radish]

cs3? isnt that like the Freedom Version of Sunrise?

[brazen wigeon]

man i did the loner playthrough i hated that garbage controlling thing it was always so buggy. No cs3-a is the clear sky uniform armor

[shrewd radish]

the Thing that just made me Rage a little is the thing i bought a Seva Suit and found out the only REALLY ONLY Engineer that can upgrade the suit is the Engineer in the Bandit Depot

[shrewd radish]

ah that one with the Black Bucket

[brazen wigeon]

tbh i didnt really think much when it came to upgrades because i didnt understand you had to like capstone with only the ones it says to lol

[shrewd radish]

yeah i dont understand it i have anihilated the bandits there like 5 times

[shrewd radish]

upgrades are so good tho

[brazen wigeon]

that and i would just kill bandits without thinking because "tHeY bAD" lmao, i mean i always didnt like them

[shrewd radish]

same

[brazen wigeon]

ik i wish i understood how it worked because I just thought, oh so if i do this it does this so i can get this and everything else is optional

[shrewd radish]

Bandits are Probably with Bootleg Bandits the Easiest Enemies in CS

[shrewd radish]

yeah , the thing is that the Night Vision in CS Improved so much Compared to SoC

[brazen wigeon]

they are man they're weaponry is always cheap and as long as you stay like 5 meters away all they can do is pepper you with their ass pmms and tozs

[shrewd radish]

facts

[brazen wigeon]

I dont understand night vision it does not work for me, im not even running any mods it just doesn't look like it brightens anything

[shrewd radish]

ASVAL is so Overkill

[shrewd radish]

the thing is not every suit has it

[brazen wigeon]

I had a seva with the purple nvg it still looked like it did nothing, also true as val is reall not that worth it, all i did was make a an 94 on crack

[shrewd radish]

and you need to upgrades it to unlock it

[shrewd radish]

i kinda like AS Val in Cs i use it as an Sniper

[brazen wigeon]

oh yea what weapon did you use, consitently throughout soc and cs i've used the an 94 with a scope and put it on 2 burst its so op especially in clear sky because it can either be sniper or smg at the same time lmao, that or boosting the hell out of a hunting shotgun making it op with slugs so you have like a sniper better than a vss

[brazen wigeon]

i found 9x39 a really expensive round and the damage drop off/bullet drop off is like throwing rocks at someone. Also are you talking about the vss vintorez (in game called the vintar) or the as val?

i love the vss btw, real life counterpart is so bad ass

[shrewd radish]

damn i used an 94 a lot in my firstplaythrough in cs , but now in my second mostly akm i upgraded it a lot and got a silencer on it and use it in like normal and long range , use a spas in short range , and a M4 with scope and silencer for long ranges and sometimes medium , also got that german pistol that uses 45 acp with a silencer looks like an USP tbh

[brazen wigeon]

bro silencer is not worth it theres more downsides than good, if you want to see the stats its 20% Damage Reduction
20% Bullet Velocity Reduction
20% Spread Increase
20% Less Recoil

[shrewd radish]

hm , i dont know i mean like the small assault rifle with built in Silencer it normaly only has a 10 mag in cs

[brazen wigeon]

I had a unique version of the vss that had 15rnds

i think forestor gave it

[shrewd radish]

well that just seems dumb , i like supressor a lot soo sneaky Breaky

[shrewd radish]

hm

the thing is in soc it had 20 rounds standard mag

[brazen wigeon]

same bro suppresor is so cool and I first thought I needed one till i looked at the wiki and took it off, it doesn't feel as cool, but hey gotta live lol

[brazen wigeon]

did it i cant remember its prob been like maybe 2-3 months since i played soc

[shrewd radish]

yeah it is and i actually feel like firing with it makes the enemy take way more time to spot me

[shrewd radish]

ah

[brazen wigeon]

i wish the vss didnt have such an arc tho, also the groza is such a fun rifle but it gets cucked by its 20rnd mag

the vss just doesnt seem worth it, i never really tried the as val a lot though so cant say anything about other then it was cool when i shot it

[shrewd radish]

well i mostly used chaser , g36 , asval and at the end also gauss rifle in Soc

[shrewd radish]

asval is very cool and very accurate

[brazen wigeon]

the end of soc was such a fustercluck for me haha, i did not have enough ammo, meds, or any kind of armor durability left, let me tell you i was scrounging for those anti rads in the sarcophogus

every time i killed another monolith soldier I had to quickly loot their body before dying to rads

[shrewd radish]

yeah i used the groza a lot also , basically duty themed gun

[brazen wigeon]

even if they were shooting at me I just went in, it was so bad that I had to use the remaining food in my inventory as healing lmao

and i ran out of food fast

actually i think i transfered to the g36 at the end and ditched the an 94

[shrewd radish]

BRO SAME , it was so bad at the End . I got clapped so hard by Monolith back there

[brazen wigeon]

because after wiping out the freedomers in military warehouses i never needed to buy any more ammo

[shrewd radish]

same

[brazen wigeon]

my god i thought it was just me and my dumbass forgetting to bring another 2k rounds of 556

[shrewd radish]

yeah , i love the g36 also love it irl

[shrewd radish]

True

[brazen wigeon]

its cool irl, i think in game its better than the trs like its just upgraded version at that point

[shrewd radish]

Lmao , i had to fight over every corridor always saving

[shrewd radish]

could be

[brazen wigeon]

quicksaved every 5 secs or every kill thats the stalker strat lmao

[shrewd radish]

it really is

[brazen wigeon]

my f5 was begging for mercy

[shrewd radish]

XD

[brazen wigeon]

i cant wait to finish the trig to replay and replay with mods, cant wait to play misery and lfo, maybe even those soup mods as well

im prob like half way through cop rn

[shrewd radish]

same

[shrewd radish]

nice , i spent the most time in cs rn already 10 hours more then soc

[brazen wigeon]

i definitly spent more time in cs as well, i thought cs was suppossed to be shorter, truth is a lot of it is just chugging energy drinks across the map or just trying to make more money for some bigger upgrades

[finite dragon]

man i can't wait to play this game

[oblique thistle]

How big will S2 be

How much storage is it gonna take a huge bite of

[finite dragon]

Apparently 180gb due to the size of the map

[pearl jacinth]

thankfully my ssd is ready

[finite dragon]

it may be waiting for a while

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[shrewd radish]

yeah

[neon heron]

hewwo

[amber tendon]

Dangerous mutants

[solid dome]

Delayed anomalies

[finite dragon]

hello. everyone. how are you doing?

[solid dome]

Trying to recover from the Xbox Showcase

[finite dragon]

man i wished we got some sort of update, i'm just eager to play this masterpiece

[gilded sentinel]

What r u talking about it was awesome

We saw so much indie projects

And gay alladin or smth

[finite dragon]

i try to avoid procrastination

[mystic sedge]

Stalker board game campaign is launching today... I had the chance to playtest it in the very early phase and I'm hyper excited for that ;_; https://t2m.io/stalkermeme

[solid dome]

Bruh

Stalker 2 or bust

Dunno. Only Stalker thing I see in this board game is the Flesh. Everything else seems "watever"

[mystic sedge]

It's a game based on the franchise, after all! 😄 I think they actually managed to nail the gameplay and the soul of the game series with this one, though... You can already look up for setup videos on Youtube and the first mission

[solid dome]

Only seen the announcement. Not really interested in board games, except Monopoly - played sheeton of many moons ago.

[mystic sedge]

I'm pretty much into board games. I like to unplug from the outside world and it's a great way to do that. It's even better when you share the experience with someone irl

[solid dome]

If you have someone

[balmy hound]

See you tonight

[solid dome]

What for?

[balmy hound]

The extended showcase

[solid dome]

Of...?

Xbot? Crapcom? Ubiqsoft?

[balmy hound]

Xbox conference

[solid dome]

I am not watching any conferences if those don't contain explicit STALKER 2 warning.

[balmy hound]

This is the last chance for the Prophecy to be false.

[solid dome]

Stop confusing me

[balmy hound]

The only thing I can say is that trying to cope with procrastination is the worst thing to do. My advise : let yourself change your mind, and seize the opportunity to get back to what you have to do when you feel more like it later.

[rancid sinew]

Hey

I was curious.. Do you think the new stalker will have a VR mode?

Not at launch, but eventually. I think this game would be perfect in VR

[hazy helm]

No

[rancid sinew]

I don't see why that could not happen

[grave hearth]

Its possible but it will probably come from a mod or different studio

[rancid sinew]

Yeah I think it will just be a mod

[hazy helm]

There are more reasons why it wont happen than it will
Jit wait for Flat2Screens UE injector to come out

[rancid sinew]

But too bad it could have been something like Fallout 4 VR, it would play the same way

[hazy helm]

FO4VR sucked
Same with Skyrim VR

Actual trash

[grave hearth]

A lot of vr adaptations are mid or just suck

[hazy helm]

I mean

[grave hearth]

Because the games arent made for VR

[rancid sinew]

It was decent.. a bit of a headache but it was cool to explore the world in VR. I played it for a few hours before giving up

[hazy helm]

I srsly sont expect fast paced shooting games to work in vr

It simply doesn't translate

[rancid sinew]

Half life alyx works in VR

[hazy helm]

Its why I have srs dohbts with stalker

[hazy helm]

Half life alyx isnt really that fast paced...and it wasnt that good...

[grave hearth]

That game is specifically made for VR

Alyx is also more linear

[hazy helm]

But like I said wait for praydogs software to come out
Eventually

[rancid sinew]

All it'd take is to make some animations, have a floating gun and just copy what other devs have made before for VR.. it would be a cool mod/free update/ paid dlc

[hazy helm]

Prob before S2 even

[grave hearth]

The main problem with stalker VR will probably be how the player character interacts with the open world. You'd also have to dumb down the AI most likely

[hazy helm]

so completely restructure the game and gameplay to not be stalker
I see

[rancid sinew]

I don't see the big deal.. you dont have to put physics into the game

It would be the exact same game except in VR with a floaty gun in your hand

[grave hearth]

He means copy VR mechanics but that also doesnt work

[hazy helm]

I don't think youd like that man

[rancid sinew]

There's a VR game that is like a copy of Stalker and it's pretty cool

[hazy helm]

Into the Radius is not a stalker game its a Stalkr 1979 and roadside picnic game

[solid dome]

Enough silly jokes

[hazy helm]

These games are very different

[grave hearth]

They're similar in genre but thats about it

[solid dome]

A VR mode.. what is this, porn game?!

[hazy helm]

Into the Radius fits onto the genre I call
Steugatsky-Likes

Stalker is very different from them all

S2011 was actually gonna be more like Roadside Picnic but that was cancelled so

[solid dome]

If you need a porn simulator, you have Promhub

[grave hearth]

Only if you dive deep into specifics

[grave hearth]

Promhub mid

[hazy helm]

Not really tho no
Like
The entire thing is very very different
Stalker is very muh its own thing

[rancid sinew]

Now I'm interested, why is Stalker and Into The Radius that different? To me it gave me Metro and Stalker vibes

[grave hearth]

Stalker still follows a genre

[hazy helm]

Its very hard yo compare strugatskys book to the game due to how different they are
Theres an inspiration but

[hazy helm]

Into the Radius is a slow "atmospheric" game
Stalker is a fast paced fps
The entire dressing and world,how the story is laied out and the gameplay

Its completely different

Its not really right to call it an equal of stalker
They are different games now that it was inspired I believe

[grave hearth]

Eitherway the original topic, stalker VR.
Stalker the way people expect it to be (both trilogy fans and anomaly ppl) wont work very well

[hazy helm]

Like I said,Into the Radius is more alike the book and movie

[grave hearth]

No one called it an equal

[hazy helm]

I would never even compare both is my main point

[grave hearth]

I said it falls under a similar genre

[hazy helm]

Due to how different they are and how different their objectives are

Lik

[rancid sinew]

I just like how immersive VR feels and Stalker is supposed to be an immersive experience.. or at least that's what I expect

[hazy helm]

I do not compare metro to stalker nor stalker yo metro

Its a dumb comparison

Both are exploration fps but we can agree they are really really different

[grave hearth]

By that logic you cant compare fallout 1 and fallout 4 either even tho its the same series

[rancid sinew]

And to be inside the game would be cool. I could imagine a VR mode quite easily

[grave hearth]

So whats your point or are you just defending stalker blindly

[amber tendon]

it's all inside your head

[hazy helm]

Stalker is supposed to be a story heavy exploration fps
It is immersive,but its not supposed to be what into the radius is

Quite the contrary

[hazy helm]

Makin blanket comparisons with games and saying one must b like the other is completely dumb when you consider 2 games have little in common
I will give you this
Stalker has RPG design but I would never compare it to an RPG
stalker has light survival mechanics but I would never compare it to a survival game

[rancid sinew]

Stalker and Metro could almost overlap if Metro was open world

[hazy helm]

No

[grave hearth]

Comparing two medias doesnt automatically mean that they're supossed to be the same

[amber tendon]

"almost", locations are 1000 km away from each other

[hazy helm]

True but its how most ppl perceive such comparisons that clouds my judgement about such topics
I became jaded with the "this game is just like x and y of z" that gamers use

[rancid sinew]

That argument doesnt make sense.

[hazy helm]

i goddamn hate tnat

[grave hearth]

The conversation devolved

[hazy helm]

Stalker uses deliberate design choices that would need to change metro to an essential degree thus it no longer being metro

[amber tendon]

different timelines, different locations and settings

[hazy helm]

The conversation devolved

Games can be different

They do not need to be the same nor they should

[rancid sinew]

Metro is set mostly in an underground/urban environment, where an actual nuclear was has taken place, so in that, it's different from Stalker

But otherwise it is very much samey

I mean, assuming it was more open world and rpg

[hazy helm]

The gameplay and how story is delivered in stalker is the main thin
Since stalker is a melting pot of many design choices
Not just exploration fps

[grave hearth]

Games can be different. You can still compare and suggest. Stalker still has a genre that other games can fall into
Cya

[hazy helm]

I feel like the comprison ppl have to into the radius and stalker,the games,is wrong,due to how much difference these 2 have

[rancid sinew]

Will Stalker 2 have more pronounced survival elements

[amber tendon]

One game takes place in wasteland, the other is in exclusion zone

[hazy helm]

Have a great day

[hazy helm]

It will have thirst
Thats the only addition

And sleep

[rancid sinew]

I don't know how it was handled in later Stalker games I only played the first one

[hazy helm]

Its pretty light

[rancid sinew]

And I just remember I could heal eating food and cure radiation with vodka

[hazy helm]

IG,it kept being very light and not at all a focus

Actually

If you want to compre 2 games

Compare Paradox of Hope VR and Metro

Had my eye on that one for over 2 years

[rancid sinew]

It's essentially a copy of Metro

[hazy helm]

A better version of the stalker dlc for metro LL actually

[rancid sinew]

i don't mind though don't really care if they copy a game and add a twist to it

But I feel like it's too similar not to get into a legal dispute over the IP

[hazy helm]

I wouldnt really mind that

Anyway like I was saying

It would be near impossible to translate the gunplay and gameplay of stalker yo VR,unless by VR you mean displaying the screen to your VR and maping it to the mouse,having controls retain on your pc

To adapt the gameplay of stalker to VR youd need to change so much you would no longer be playing the same game

[rancid sinew]

Make it like how Fallout 4 VR is.. just the same. It can be a mod or just an update. Whether it fails or it succeeds, it's something extra to try

[hazy helm]

I can only think of one game that has ever done UE VR as well due to UE suites for VR being,worse than unitys

CONSORTIUM VR

[rancid sinew]

Well anyway my hopes is that somebody tries to make it happen because having a full scale survival VR fps game would be great

[hazy helm]

why are you asking for stalker to be in VR then?

There certainly are other games that fit the bill better

[rancid sinew]

Stalker is upcoming and fits the bill of what it needs. I don't see Metro being made into VR but that's due to it having technical limitations

[hazy helm]

I mean...you said you wanted staller to be in vr...but that you wanted a survival game which stalker isnt...

[rancid sinew]

Stalker is somewhat survival

It has ammo management and scavenging

[hazy helm]

Stalker has survival elementes but it is not survival no

[hazy helm]

you mean CS GO is survival

Stalker's survival mechanics are too light and too few to call it a survival game really

[rancid sinew]

Stalker has elements of scarcity

[hazy helm]

Just like its rpg design is tok loght to call stalker an rpg

[rancid sinew]

it is open world and you have a persistent character and you make choices on how to spend your resources

Everywhere it says it's a survival horror

[hazy helm]

Most open world games have persistent open worlds?
And you still make choices about what tk spend?

if you accept stalket has a survival game you open a lot of doors man

It just isnt

What you want is Anomaly on VR

Which is completely different

[rancid sinew]

tbh if reviews of this game are glowing I will buy it day one

[hazy helm]

Lets hope

[rancid sinew]

I got hyped looking at some trailers and the vids on the steam page

[finite dragon]

i wouldn't be suprised if this game gets another delay after recently getting hit with a cyber attack

[rancid sinew]

If it releases a broken mess then I will be disappointed

[finite dragon]

and especially with the ukraine war which sucks for the devs, but i'll be supporting them

[rancid sinew]

I don't see it coming this year

[finite dragon]

yeah same, i don't care how long they take as long as it's not a huge mess on launch

[silver pagoda]

who cares if it gets delayed to 2026, we got Gamma which is already better

[grave hearth]

Yea gamma is just stalker2

[solid dome]

I think it's been delayed already, only the public doesn't know yet

Which, honestly, is far better than knowing

Better don't announce a delay at this point. Keep your mouth shut - another missed deadline doesn't need to happen

If it does, it's 500% incompetence

However... if no thing is said, it shows they don't know what they are doing from time management perspective. And if they do say something it will come as incompetence. All in all, GSC put itself in a position where whatever they say, it'll make them look bad.

[mortal parcel]

If only a good story would be here to back up the gameplay… but even so, the gameplay would need to be simplified to be compared to the original games

[brazen wigeon]

I don’t really like gamma honestly

It’s cool and I definitely admire it but man taking like an hour to repair a gun and all the other unnecessary features in there really take it out of me

I definitely think though that stalker 2 should use some of the ideas gamma has

[grave hearth]

I said it as a joke and mfs are wanting to start a genuine discussion

[solid dome]

You think developers aren't taking Gamma/Anomaly as inspiration for various features?

... Obviously not doing things 1:1

[finite dragon]

Man all though I have very low expectations but if the game does release this year, that would be awesome

But again I will still support the devs on making this masterpiece

[full estuary]

Guys lets make stalker 3 in roblox

[amber tendon]

I want to see Paris in stalker 2 first

[tired prairie]

Look up project delta on roblox 😂 lowkey good for a free game and it gives some stalker vibes/rust vibes

[true trout]

yo

[clever cedar]

leugim

i LOVE this guy

[true trout]

oh

I'm just a random newbie in STALKER series

[dreamy forge]

did scar die in clear sky

[civic lava]

stalcraft is the true stalker 2: heart of anomaly

[hazy helm]

who knows
he may be alive
he may be dead
schrodingers scar you could say

[tired prairie]

I use to play the mess out of Stalcraft too 😂

[true trout]

So... how can i get started with STALKER? can i play ANOMALY mod for my first time playthrough?

[clever cedar]

GRAAAAAH IM GONNAA

[hazy helm]

if you want to play stalker play stalker
start with Shadow of Chernobyl,then Clear Sky,then Call of Pripryat

[true trout]

oh

[civic lava]

no, play first gamma - anomaly - dead air

[hazy helm]

if its not stalker you wnna play,then do whatever,Anomaly isnt stalker so

[dreamy forge]

reccomend trilogy first then the modded games

[clever cedar]

anomaly is NOT stalker

[true trout]

right

[civic lava]

play mod first and then you can come here and roast the outdated games of the trilogy

[true trout]

sorry about that, my friends only play ANOMALY

[civic lava]

they are based

[true trout]

i was confused about that

[clever cedar]

kill your friends

[clever cedar]

kill this guy too

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is just a mod,its not a stalker game,thus you would not play stalker by playing anomaly
like I said,start with Shadow of Chernobyl

[true trout]

heh, funny Rat

[hazy helm]

we recommend unmodded first but if you are paranoid of bugs theres a mod called ZRP

[true trout]

right, i will start play 1 by 1 first

[true trout]

nah, bugs give me a old school vibes

old games, old engines, same nostalgia

[dreamy forge]

anomaly is a game in stalker universe were you can create a character and be in any faction you want and there isnt any story unless you install some story mods for anomaly but the orignal games are all filled with story and characters that are canon to the story and game

[hazy helm]

ma man
just remember that using consumable items while your on the looting screen will crash your game,no more
make sure to do a lot of hard saves

[true trout]

i gonna try Call of Chernobyl first

[civic lava]

[hazy helm]

I dont see a reason to

[clever cedar]

im lidoraly

[civic lava]

based

[true trout]

hell yeah

[hazy helm]

CoTZ exists

[clever cedar]

gonna.

[hazy helm]

a rat

[true trout]

i'm gonna share a screenshot from my progress later, so...

[clever cedar]

hey vasim you love talking about anomaly right

[true trout]

thanks guys!

nice to meet ya

[hazy helm]

we will wait
start with Shadow of Chernobyl,then play Clear Sky,then play Call of Prirpyat,and good luck

ask if you ahve any questions

[civic lava]

put hd models bc the vanilla models are ugly and weapons pack, and more items or just play anomaly bc he is coc with more addons and 64 bits engine

[hazy helm]

no,I hate doing it

[clever cedar]

comeon vasim! you LOVE talking about anomaly

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/ferret-steal-me-when-i-get-you-gif-26605805

[hazy helm]

I hate anomaly,I hate talking about anomaly,I hate thinking about anomaly,I dont want to do it

of course,its not so simple

[clever cedar]

hey vasim, what do you think about anomaly

[clever cedar]

us

Gaycraft

Cock of The Zone

Stop with the excessive weirdness, okay?

[eager zodiac]

YOO! Holy sh*, they reached the goal in only 3,5 minutes!
https://gamefound.com/projects/awaken-realms/stalker-the-boardgame

[hazy helm]

way more ppl interested than I knew

and that makes me wonder

why cant they make good looking stalker models if they have good mutant models...

[hollow frigate]

So I saved mole and he told me to go down a hole, I did that, and came out into a military base. I went to my quest marker which was still on him, only for him to die. I feel stupid.

[balmy hound]

Wow !

[solid dome]

Goal of what?

It was funded already, bunch of liars

[solid dome]

Cuz mainstream gamer doesn't need proper Stalker models, cuz

Also the only canon thing seems to be the Flesh

So this is as much true Stalker board game as I've been conceived on the Moon

[hazy helm]

I do not expect a party board game to be lore accurate to the last extent

[solid dome]

Them folks could have done a proper Stalker 2 board game to release before or along the main game, though the main point here is cashing in on smth

[clever cedar]

krezzin what are you talking about

its a board game, of course they're trying to make money off of it

[hazy helm]

krezzin its not GSC tahts making the game,GSC only signed a contract with a company known for making board games of already existing properties

[solid dome]

I know its 3rd party company, yet GSC gives approval about things

[oblique thistle]

Monopoly S.T.A.L.K.E.R collab

[solid dome]

Before anyone says I am hating: I don't even intend to buy this thing, thus this is mere opinion

[solid dome]

Nothing beats Monopoly, sir

[clever cedar]

they gave approval for them to use their ip

thats how that works

[solid dome]

You say if Ancient Realms creates a porn actress model and 3D print it, GSC would approve?

[elfin totem]

you can buy the Bar but it costs all the money in the bank

[clever cedar]

what?

[solid dome]

I mean there must be approval process before everything is finalised and ready for the market

[clever cedar]

krezzin you literally dont make sense

[solid dome]

What I don't make sense with "if they do something inacurate, GSC won't tell them to change it?"...

[hazy helm]

this process is way more offhands than youd expect

the board game is a side thing that affects nothing with the universe nor the games

still a strange bussiness venture?
as I said,I did not expect a board game that wasnt a make your own adventure DnD style board game to succed when it comes to stalker but I stand corrected
I hope they get a good game at the end of the day

[balmy hound]

I'm happy for them if they reached their goal in such a short time, on my side I have to stay as much digital as I can.

[solid dome]

I would've appreciated like a browser based thing rather than physical to be truly honest

[hazy helm]

a revival of Stalker online

one can hope

[solid dome]

Isometric Stalker browser based game

I am all in

[oblique thistle]

DnD style stalker board game

[balmy hound]

The multiplayer mode should answer that.

[solid dome]

Never

[balmy hound]

(I guess)

[solid dome]

MP mode will be trash

• Krezzin, 13.06.2023, 8:12 PM

[vague mirage]

So, a new trailer within the hour, right? Xbox showcase is happening. Last year they showed the trailer there too.

[solid dome]

New nothing in 1 hour.

You been news scammed.

[balmy hound]

There is a Prophecy but it worth a try to watch it.

[solid dome]

Don't you guys have phones?

[vague mirage]

I was surprised not to see it again in the main show two days ago. It has to be here.

[hazy helm]

they said there wouldnt be anything new

check the pins

[hazy helm]

mark my words,iuf its a updated version of the old games MP,everything in the world will be righht

[vague mirage]

Aw, that sucks. Thanks for the information. Have a good day guys.

[balmy hound]

We don't even know what the multiplayer will look like, and the only reason I never played it on the S1 is technical.

I was happy enough to make the solo mode work

I think it can be really good on S2

[fluid abyss]

Sdalger2 CANCELED?!

I hope not

[balmy hound]

Is that a pun i'm not understanding or your keyboard not working ?

[fluid abyss]

Sdalger :DDDD

[balmy hound]

Ok I get it when I pronounce it

[solid dome]

Ждалкер

Ждалкар? Stalker X Paris Dakar?

[balmy hound]

I did understand that pun.

[solid dome]

Weird enough, Ждалкер fits because... Do not let me explain. I can't laugh and be serious in the same time.

[balmy hound]

"No movie trailer at Xbox" I thought I read

[solid dome]

Do we have the Stalker Mobile announcement on the Xtended Showcase yet, @balmy hound ?!

[balmy hound]

Sorry don't know what to answer to that

[civic lava]

clash of stalkers when ?

[solid dome]

[balmy hound]

If i'm not mistaken, there is no big game coming out in december.

That's odd

Well, good night everyone.

[valid briar]

That stalker board game looking pretty good

[fluid abyss]

Well not quite within the hour, but…

[flat prism]

i love gsc and all but it really baffles me at how good they are at marketing everything but the game

#📰┃announcement message

[solid dome]

Yeah, every one of us will travel to Ukraine to drink energy drinks. What a gigantic joke.

[jaunty sluice]

When are we going to get some real info on this game again?

[solid dome]

From the looks of it...

[wispy zinc]

the gsc state is not the best

[fluid abyss]

Can we please have a raffle where some of us can win one of the stalker vans

[hearty radish]

someone gonna go to that store buy every single enerydrink and sell them online at super high price

[deep heron]

they shouldve made the energy drink can like from the game

[worthy urchin]

Hey, where I can buy the drink?

[wispy zinc]

the chat is kind of dead so im gonna say this only once

long live mother russia

[finite dragon]

mf watermelon is the least zone flavor i can think of

[hearty radish]

in ukraine

[fluid abyss]

zased, inb4 ban

[vernal magnet]

Ok I'm mega hyped for the drinks. Now tell me where to buy 20 of them

[worthy urchin]

Oh:(

[flat prism]

Join us at our presentation and hunt for exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-themed merchandise and the watermelon🍉 flavor of the Zone!
So this presenetation is literally only about the energy drink? Or is it an actual conference discussing and showcasing the state of the game?

[deep heron]

i just want them to restock the collectors edition

[fluid abyss]

rip, no stalker drinks for me then

[hearty radish]

im sure someone smart will buy a whole batch an resell them online for a very unreasonable price man

[flat prism]

i just want them to give us meaningful news on their game

[worthy lagoon]

It's about an Ukrainian energy drink brand

[worthy urchin]

I really wanted the drink

[hearty radish]

they should just sell those drinks online

[fluid abyss]

Not gonna pay that much for it tho

[vernal magnet]

Wait is this promo just for ukraine??

[worthy lagoon]

Collaborating with GSC

[finite dragon]

i do like watermelon flavor if i am to be honest tho, i feel like like zone flavor is like something bitter like coffee or acidic like lime

[vernal magnet]

Thats....so disappointing if true. I hope we can get these states side

[fluid abyss]

Plus shipping soda over seas would probably see the can explode

[flat prism]

you've got to be joking

[worthy lagoon]

Ye, i never saw NonStop in other countries tbh

[nimble cipher]

TungstenhP2#6475 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[flat prism]

there's no way they will host an entire presentation about an energy drink brand, and not about the actual game
i must be dreaming

[vernal magnet]

I figured this event would be changing that. What a weird tease

[worthy urchin]

If the drink were in more places of Europe I'm sure a lot of people would buy

[fluid abyss]

Nah I don’t think they’ll do that

This is just a sponsorship tie-in

[solid dome]

[worthy lagoon]

I mean, the same goes for the in game video of Skif drinking NonStop in Yanov

NonStop is an actual brand

[finite dragon]

i could use a van

more likely to get a van from gsc at this point than s2
