Lose yourself in the stories

Hate every part of SoC, CS and CoP not having caption subtitles

If you don't know Russian, you'll never understand the jokes even

[hazy helm]

we already have that options,just stop at the campfire and listen to them

instead of a locked state and an animations,you do it yourself,its immersive

[vital dagger]

can you only get the friend of freedom/duty if you sell the morgan's pda to either freedom or duty?

[hazy helm]

you get the achiv by maxing out the disposition to freedom or duty,meaning,by doing every mission in their favour if the outocme allows it

[vital dagger]

crap, i sold the pda to owl, well, off to go back like 5 hours

[hazy helm]

it doesnt matter just keep playing

[vital dagger]

i want to get the scope that is exclusive to hawaian with that achievement

[tired anvil]

Hey what the hell, it says that I killed 63k stalkers in Shadow of Chernobyl

but thats like, not possible

[oblique thistle]

Of course it is

Just be the Hitler of the zone

[finite dragon]

Guys

I just bought the game shadow of Chernobyl and I’m st the second special quest where I have to enter the railroad but it’s radioactive and idk where the trader is to buy a mask

Would someone mind helping me?

[solid dome]

Get anti-rad pills

Do not fall fool for the pregnancy pills Sid often orders to scam people with

[hazy helm]

you do not need to get a gas mask,you just need to get some vodka or anit rad pills to flush the rads
also the tunnel is being patrolled by an electro anomaly,you will need to catch the rythm to pass unharmed

[worn oar]

Sergiy Grygorovych loved that faction as far as I witnessed haha

I remember we once had a small community poll for factions choice back in the days and he openly chose freedumb faction

God damn it haha

[raven barn]

Remember to always use the least dungerous path

There is probably another not radioactive way with parqur or smt

[pine ibex]

so did the physical ultimate edition release for pre order?

[silver ledge]

I used the starter pack

[hazy helm]

The starter pack is a substantial change to the game

[silver ledge]

Oh

[hazy helm]

Read the description the starter pack is a modpack that comes with model swaps for basically everything plus render configs and zrp added,with some rebalancing

base ZRP is superior

[silver ledge]

Ok thanks for informing me

Cheeki breeki

So how do I uninstall starter pack

[hazy helm]

Just delete the entire SoC folder and do a clean reinstall

[silver ledge]

Ok

[stray sentinel]

There are 3 ways to cross that
Best way is far right where the fence is broken and there is no radiation

[silver ledge]

Question

Who else are scared of snorks?

Before I got to yantar I wasn’t scared of them

But after I was close to yantar I suddenly saw a pack of snorks and now I’m scared to get out the bunker in yantar

[half bone]

They can be from time to time no matter mod you play weak or strong

Either you kill it easily or it kills you.

[wise blaze]

still no news on S2? sadge

[opaque rapids]

It depends on the area honestly, in the labs they're scary, outside at day they're just a nuisance

outside at night they're even more terrifying for me

[whole hull]

When I was a child, I was very afraid of them. Now, they only jumpscare me from time to time.

[silver ledge]

Also should I replace my merc suit? I’m currently on the mission that requires me to get the documents from lab x-16 and I’m considering replacing it if so what armor should I get?

[flint moth]

Anyone here speak Serbian

[stray sentinel]

Snorks aren't that scary (I don't like their sound design because they sound like tigers when they charge you and I think it doesn't fit them too well).
However after playing call of pripyat I started to fear bloodsuckers a lot.

[stray sentinel]

After I got the SEVA from the radioactive building in wild territory I finished the game with that

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[worn gate]

yes

[mental void]

i hate the gunslinger burers up until i found out that they lower their shield if you holster your weapon

[silver ledge]

Should I get a new suit or repair my seva suit?

Ok

[mental void]

Yep

[hazy helm]

they still suck

[mental void]

True.

[vapid current]

Everyone

[placid laurel]

i want to play and finish stalker this time but i dont want it to be a walking simulator... is there a mod for it? im talking about all three(well cop doesnt become walking sim mostly but ye)

pls ping for answer

btw can you mod games from steam?

[hazy helm]

you can mod the stalker games with steam copies but Im still trying to decipher what you want from the first message

a teleporter?

you can just type the jump command into the console and transition to any level in the game as long as you have the id

[placid laurel]

maybe

i didnt know the command thing, wow maybe ill use it

thank you btw

[hazy helm]

let me double check I think I may switched smth up wait...

[placid laurel]

uhm im sorry what?

[hazy helm]

https://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/index.html

use ZRP's level changer

I confused the jump command in LA with SoCs console commands,there is no jump command in SoC

[solid dome]

Seriously?

You real serious?

[placid laurel]

y-yes why

[hazy helm]

simply a difference in backtracking resitance

LA1.3 prob killed me when it required me to pass 2 car designed levels on foot to backtrack to a give a music sheet to a scientists so he could pay me 500 rubbles

[sturdy zodiac]

Looks like you didn't figure out the secret technique of flying by way of whirligig anomaly

[placid laurel]

jdwkjxlwkz

[sturdy zodiac]

who needs cars in the zone anyways

[placid laurel]

lol

[hazy helm]

I have mastered the art of Rally Racing in LA1.3

and now enjoy the janky driving

[solid dome]

I have no words whatsoever to say anything

[sturdy zodiac]

All it takes to live in the zone is some good ol human ingenuity and skin tougher than "bread"

[placid laurel]

but really why

[sturdy zodiac]

But yeah, I'm partial to Krezzin's point. If Stalker feels like a walking sim, then you just need to persevere

nothing else to it really

[solid dome]

I don't know what to tell him, dude

I'm speechless, simple

[hazy helm]

easiest thing is to overdose on stamina artifacts and run everywhere with no risk

[placid laurel]

idk dude

[sturdy zodiac]

I'm struggling to remember how I managed to drag a car through the Garbage with that sinkhole and all the rubble

[placid laurel]

maybe im doing things wrong i really dont know

[hazy helm]

how the hell did you do that,I was stopped by the tumbled over tree

[sturdy zodiac]

I think I went way off to the left past the anomalies

around the trash mounds and through the water past the stalkers and zombies

something like that

[hazy helm]

well Im not backtracking anymore

[sturdy zodiac]

Is there a particular aspect you feel isn't clicking or is it just simply that getting around on foot itself is cumbersome?

[hazy helm]

I was assaulting Pripayt with the tank when I realized I needed to go back to get all computers in the labs

so now Im just jumping using console commands

[placid laurel]

the thing is like when i go to yantar from rostok and then i need to come back from places that i have been and encountered everything its just boring to just walk and idk

maybe its my fault idk tbh

[sturdy zodiac]

I get that, but the main thing most of the time the reason for having the player back track is to help familiarize the player with the world and become used to navigating via landmarks. In some cases yes, it's easier to simply have the player retrace their steps than create new areas to move things forward but I'd argue it also gives the A-Life a chance to shine.

[placid laurel]

yeah you are right mayb

[sturdy zodiac]

I'd say give it an honest go, but don't try to brute force yourself to enjoy something if you aren't.

[placid laurel]

ok thank you

[sturdy zodiac]

No problem.

Call of chernobyl

After max freedom gonna play loner then duty

Played scientist and freedom already

Hv max scientist nearly max freedom cuz need exoskeleton max

[worn oar]

Don't base your judgment on mod gameplay

Duty was a mighty force in SoC

I remember using spawner once! 2 duty veterans was able to clear the whole bandit base without me participating

[raven barn]

Ik

But the strongest stalker is always player

But yeah killing all freedom members is ez af

[worn oar]

Sure thing

[raven barn]

In soc

[worn oar]

The game wouldn't be a game where the player is not the strongest haha

Unless it's a horror game yk

Im newbee here

[final copper]

Dark forest is actually the worst area in clear sky

I uninstalled the game, screw that i already know the ending

Gonna go to call of pripyat

[hazy helm]

Bro didnt play Limansk

Got filtered by the best map Clear Sky added

Shame

[raven barn]

Pseudo giant is too hard so jist go away

[worn oar]

Wolf does not discriminate

haha

[raven barn]

Go to the dude for a quest
2 ,they kill snorks for u
3 they die at pseudo giant ofc like alway
4 u leave them and go to anomaly
5space anomaly spawn snorks so sprint full speed into it brofore they can kill u

[worn oar]

Limansk dude? Old hospital bro? Red forest is fun tbh .. why would you say that

[raven barn]

U cant kill them bc they spawn infinitly

Just sprint

And it tp u

To forester bc thats how space anomaly works but thats why u hv forester

There is nearly no mobs in it(red forest)

Its literary just scary forest

And for chimera just use vog 25

Or any granade luncher

Its literary 10m² area bro

@final copper @final copper

[raven barn]

Hospital is epic

But in coC u cant go thru it

Bc in cs they use c4 to destry the door but u cant

[worn oar]

The only part I disliked in CS was the first trip to cordon🤣 that damn military checkpoin ... took me a while to evade it without destroying my suit lol

[raven barn]

I just used other way

And then used fast travel to cordon village

Bc loners would kill u if u wanted to go past the bridge

Without permision

Stalker games Difficulty rating by me
1 CS
2 SoC
3 CoP

Cop was ezzz accept that p1 pass bc i had no ammo and only me ,zoze somthing, and helicopter pilot(just ones u need to go with)

Still not that hard

You downloaded a standalone mod that is detached from the games

You are playing OGSR,its its own thing

[worn oar]

No companion AI in the vanilla game, so my question is, from where did you download the game haha

[stray sentinel]

Lol

[hazy helm]

There is a rudimentary "follow the player" AI used in CoP for literally one section
When 2 of your mates in Pripyat storm the building with the antanae

You cannot recruit stalkers,have them as companions or order them in the OG games

What stalker standalone mod should I choose
Call of Chernobyl or Call of Misery

[hazy helm]

You need the CoP registry key in your system to play CoC btw, meaning you need to have launched CoP in that PC at least once
As for which?CoTZ

[wet forge]

What mod should I play. I wonder

[hazy helm]

Depends on your preferences,do you want a more vanilla thing?more freeplay?do you want a more soup-y mod?

[wet forge]

I want a more vanilla

[solid dome]

You should be spamming GSC socials for ST2 news instead

[hazy helm]

How vanilla

And for which game

[wet forge]

For Cop

[placid laurel]

uhm such as when you go to yantar and need to come pack to rostok and you go all the way just walking the same areas you have gone thru

[amber tendon]

It's ok to not like the game, although I would disagree since area progression is linear

[placid laurel]

i like the lol i just sometimes get bored when just walking or maybe im playing it wrong

idk

[amber tendon]

Well if you are just going back forth there for no reason then yea

Don't do it unless you have to

[placid laurel]

ofc

for like getting paid by barmen or going all the way to the cordon back for sidoro

[amber tendon]

Why

Sidorovich told you to drag the documents to Barman, not him

[fluid abyss]

Will there be stalker 2 news this year

[storm wren]

Anyone know where I can find offical stalker art?

[hazy helm]

Sidor is an OPTIONAL objective
You can go directly to barmen with docs

[prime spade]

yes, we will get a stalker 2 emote pack to pre-order

[placid laurel]

can i still get good money without doing sidejobs?

[hazy helm]

You will get an overabundance of money even without trying
In fact
The ending that most ppl get is the one where you have wish for money which is based on if you have a certain cash threshold

[placid laurel]

i wanna get the true ending

btw can you get many endings in one save? like do you get freeroam or it just finishes

[hazy helm]

There is no freeroam in SoC,ans there shouldnt be
You shall see ehy

[placid laurel]

its not the main question tho

[hazy helm]

You can only get one enfing but you can reload a save prior yo you getting the ending you can do do another

But one ending per game

still better than anomaly tho

[fluid abyss]

GSC really going "we're gonna publish Stalker 2 and pray to god that it's what people like" instead of giving frequent content updates & taking in feedback huh

[sterile hedge]

id still rather bad stalker 2 than no stalker 2

[fluid abyss]

I'd rather good stalker than bad stalker

[sterile hedge]

tru

[fluid abyss]

Besides, I should have recieved S2... checks calendar about a year and 3 months ago, I think some updates would be nice

[sterile hedge]

people still pre order games?

thought it was common knowledge not to do that

[fluid abyss]

consider it a sort of anti-earlybird bonus for the old titles

[sterile hedge]

it will release, eventually

i think

[ivory hedge]

Didn't they say it'll release in december 2023?

[sterile hedge]

idk don't really keep up with s2 news anymore

[fluid abyss]

they said they'd release it a buncha different times

pushed back for varying reasons each time tho

lack of actual promo material suggests it might be the same this time around too

[ivory hedge]

Guessing there has been a lot of things for them around this time. I suppose?

But something about the new game i don't like. It's maybe that the graphics look too good now. And i'm so used to the 'bad' graphics of stalker games,and them being old in general.

I'll def be missing that aspect of the game lmfao.

[fluid abyss]

I honestly never really mind bad graphics, so long as you can tell whats going on

its mostly the mechanics & general game feel im looking for

I dislike the feeling of being able to one-man-army the entire game after midgame

I wanna be little weakling constantly scavenging for better parts, without the game being overly unfair

[ivory hedge]

I hope they will add much more new things in the new game.

Reasonable,i like a little challange myself too. But of course,not impossible scenarios.

[fluid abyss]

striking that balance is gonna be hard

[ivory hedge]

I'm excited for the wish granter,and monolith. Big fan of them both.

And AI behaviour. I hope it gets better than what we currently have in the stalker games.

[sterile hedge]

f.e.a.r ai in stalker

[fluid abyss]

impossible

[ivory hedge]

It's just a hope 🙏

Yeah. When you search up the release date of the game,it says december 2023.

[stable steppe]

anyone know if the stalker will go on my old gtx1650 ?

[ivory hedge]

It would be,but on low graphics probably.

[stable steppe]

its still good i think

[ivory hedge]

I just checked requirements that it has on the steam page. GTX 1060 6GB is the minimum. So you should be just fine.

[silver ledge]

the ai in anomaly are stupid

i load into a save after a emisson and for some reason a monolith guy spawn in the boat from zantar and the other mercs just watch as the guy kills me and walks out with everyone not batting an eye exept for the trader

is there any mods that i can get to improve the ai

[finite dragon]

eh, nothing > bad

[rain pulsar]

Stealth 2.3 moras ai without amnesia (included in Stealth 2.3) and search logic somewhat fix the ai but they still have their alife moment

[silver ledge]

Ok can you provide the links? Also are they compatible with version 1.51 or 1.52?

[rain pulsar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/search-logic

you can find stealth 2.3 on your own links to them and ghillie overhaul are linked on this page

[ivory hedge]

They are quite smart in anomaly actually. They can sneak up behind you. I had this bandit sneaking up on me that is until i looked behind me at him and he ran off for some odd reason.

Sometimes they are questionable though.

[rugged prairie]

Is there information on upgrading a pre ordered copy of Stalker 2 to a more expensive version? Or would it require a refund and re-purchase to do that

also sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask

[silver ledge]

I

[civic lava]

sneaky npcs is not a feature from anomaly

[ivory hedge]

I am pretty sure it is. Because it happened to me multiple times when i didn't mod anomaly.

They walk up behind you when you're looting. They don't shoot at you though. So it's pretty confusing. And you can hear them approaching so they are not crouching or trying to be quiet.

But it might just be a glitch,and the ai works weirdly sometimes,i do not know.

[tender prairie]

I just finished SOC. Wtf is the ending supposed to be?

[rain pulsar]

npcs sneaking up on you has been a thing since shadow of chernobyl

[rain pulsar]

depends on which one you got

[tender prairie]

There are multiple?

He wished for the zone to disappear.

[rain pulsar]

yeah
7 to be exact 5 being false "bad" 2 being true "good"

[rain pulsar]

well i mean it's gone for his eyes only so his wish came true

[tender prairie]

Clever monolith

I want to replay it then. How do I get the other ones?

[rain pulsar]

it depends on your reputation and if freedom/dutys leaders are alive or not
one requires you to have 50k in the bank to trigger it

[tender prairie]

Is 400k rub a lot? That's what I had.

[rain pulsar]

for the true endings you need the decoder from doc at agroprom underground
or if you know how the doors in the zone work when you throw a gun at them

[rain pulsar]

if you had 400k you would of triggered the "i wish to be rich ending"

[tender prairie]

Hmm. Maybe less at the time of ending.

Yeah I bought the exosuit

[rain pulsar]

exo is a scam lol
the skat-9 and seva/duty seva are better in nearly every single way despite having worse ballistic resistance

[civic lava]

anomaly dont made this

its in anomaly, but that feature was NOT made by him, thats what i mean

[tender prairie]

I bought the exosuit and didn't wear it once cause I can't sprint

[rain pulsar]

i found the exo at the cnpp in that backroom that's heavily irradiated
equiped it noticed i couldn't sprint and instantly dropped it

and if you think soc exo is bad just wait until you equip cs exo

[ivory hedge]

Good to know! Never seen that feature in SoC personally.

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[tender prairie]

Best gun in SOC?
For me it was the VSS

[sturdy zodiac]

Thunder in both calibers

[jaunty mason]

thunder 5.45 is goated for damage, vss is goated for damage and accuracy

[solid dome]

My crocs

Slap so hard the person you slapped feels dizzy for half a day

[tender prairie]

I don't see the point of damage if one shot headshot exists. Just aim.

And the bottleneck of that is hopefully the gun's accuracy, not your skill

[rain pulsar]

Vintar and sniper trs
Click on a head and problem solved

@solid dome let's do a stalker rap contest

[finite dragon]

Hello. How are you doing?

[solid dome]

[ivory hedge]

So i have been thinking about how else would the CC brainwash people to turn them into monolithians.

Because the brain scortcher i think would most likely turn them into zombifieds unless they are in a group and is worth wasting more resouces on them.

Anyone got ideas for other ways? Just curious for other peoples thoughts.

[sly viper]

new ping in announcements and its again anything other than S2

[solid dome]

People don't want new things obviously

[solid dome]

HAARP

[tough mural]

My heart almost went racing when I saw the announcement notification number then...

[solid dome]

Lower your expectations, mister

[raven barn]

There is yt from that or wiki

Watch anomalous dugout for stalker lore

[ivory hedge]

Yeah i watched it,but there wasn't any mentions of other ways. (I don't remember them at least)

Plus i'm curious about what other people think about it

[raven barn]

Meybe C-C choose only the best stalker

Stalkers = not dogshit 1iq

[hazy helm]

It is said that Monolith members are from a stalker expedition to the center of the Zone,they say a large group of ppl dediced to go and they went, that they came back as monolith,brain scorcher will turn you into a zombie but the wish granter and the things close to there will turn turn you into a Monolith member,we can assume that yhe brainwashing done in CS is different tho,those were special agents

[ivory hedge]

Agents and monolith soldiers are much more different. Agents are normal humans who forgot their purpose,and now only want to do 1 thing,which is a mission they are given. (Even if they don't even remember working to get it done.)

Brain scorcher is also a way to turn you into a zombie, or a monolith soldier. As anomalous dugout explained in his video. However,i thought about what if there were other ways? Such as maybe like,a pill for that maybe? Who knows.

ok can you give me a link to the server?

[hazy helm]

It is literally in the same site you got the mod from

@patent night @twin fox #📜┃s2_suggestions message

[patent night]

that is a nil statement tho

like proximity vc, freedom of play etc

[hazy helm]

it literally is a person FROM GSC saying they will not add coop

[patent night]

conversations are supposed to be a 2 way street no?

[hazy helm]

if you can talk with him sure,tho I dont think he will listen to you
a loads of ppl asked this before and they were all met with the same answer,we are not doing coop,we do not think it fits the game

[patent night]

would there not be an increase of longevity for the game, and therefore support if it was at least an option? i get the point you are all coming across with, but coop has been a dream of the fanbase for a long time, who better to do it than gsc themselves?

[fossil fiber]

Mods are ensuring the longevity of the game

[hazy helm]

I have no stakes Im merely informing you of the fact so you dont expect smth that ends up not appearing at all

[patent night]

no im not expecting, just adding another voice to the masses with my own opinion

[patent night]

don't put all your eggs in one basket, no?

[hazy helm]

covering bases,many ppl make suggestions with the expectation that they will be added to the game

[twin fox]

if i wanna play stalker but dont like scary games coop would be perfect. bummer

[hazy helm]

good thing modding isnt a simple basket but as potentially big as your fanbase is

[patent night]

i can see that

[patent night]

good point, but would you, personally rather have gsc coop or aftermarket ones?
not trying to peck, just an honest question

[fossil fiber]

Mods are an entire world that exist by itself, so I wouldn't call it "one basket" but GSC is also doing MP for S2 and we don't know how it evolves. It could have a lot more stuff in it than GSC admits right now

[hazy helm]

I do not care

[patent night]

good point, and i like the prospects of a stalker game with more online abillity

[hazy helm]

I do not think GSC would take time to remove the multiplayer components from UE5 and more and more tools for modding UE games are coming out so youll prob see coop mods dont worry

[patent night]

very fine point sir

what does your STOC gaming mean?

[hazy helm]

main reason why games like Kenshi will never get a coop mod or multiplayer mode is bc,the game was packaged with no multiplayer component,it was removed from the engine itself so it had less bloat,thus,the only way you could add it is if you reverse engenier the game to its consituents or get the source code
it will prob be easir for S2

[hazy helm]

STalker Official Community

[patent night]

ahhh

over to another subject, do you think the gun customization will be somewhat akin to what we see in gamma/efp or do they have a whole new saucy system for us to play with?

[hazy helm]

I expect it to be close to the originals

[fossil fiber]

Just an improved version of original customisation

[patent night]

i hope for it to be more customizable than the OG

but then again, mods 😄

[hazy helm]

hopefully mod tools and support is added quickly after release

[patent night]

2 weeks before release lmao

i wonder if the renegades will make a return

[fossil fiber]

no, all anomaly and gamma fans should be forced to spend 200 hours in main game before they get their hands on mod tools

[patent night]

they will have 200hrs in the game as of 150 hrs after release lol

[hazy helm]

I will force their brains to play it 10 times before they realize such things exist!

[twin fox]

mom only lets me use pc 1 hour a day 😦

[solid dome]

How many hours of English do the games take?

A lot, since a lot of broken English can be found at places you need to read every line at least 3 times

[worn oar]

5hs if you skip most stuff

With exploration and all, it'll take something around 12h or a bit more.

[solid dome]

Lies

[hazy helm]

If you rush the main story its pretty damn quick

But usually,ppl like to wander and take the sights in so it takes longer

[solid dome]

People also like to play with bloodsuckers

Hide and seek, search and betray

Depends if you're into playing with the AI overall

[gloomy rivet]

Is there no way to reverse the mousewheel zoom

[stray sentinel]

I completed shadow of Chernobyl and call of pripyat in more or less 23hrs with all side missions and a bit of exploration
Clear sky is another story because that game is terrible and you will spend one million hours just to understand how factions and wars work

[placid laurel]

wdym

oh i understood, idk

[placid laurel]

lol

[hazy helm]

nimble and the swmaps are a literal tutorial,its like 1 hour if you want experience it and thats bc you will see the microcosm of what happens elsewhere
If it took you that many hours to understand CS Faction Wars then you were not paying attention or didnt want to learn to begin with

[stray sentinel]

No the problem for me was in the garbage with stalkers not doing anything so they weren't giving me the mission to kill bandits in their stronghold (it remained closed for all the duration of the game)
I personally didn't like the war thing (factions were ok) but wars were too broken and I didn't miss them playing call of pripyat

[hazy helm]

Check the war tab,you need to capture and control certain objectives before proceeding with capturing the base,there is also the possibility that kt may have found a bug

[stray sentinel]

Man I know how that game works XD
It was just bugged because I already killed all bandits at garbage entrances, but stalkers weren't coming to secure the points

[hazy helm]

One simple bug then, i dont understand how you find it difficult to understand seeing as you easily understand it

[stray sentinel]

I gave up on the war system after a while because it wasn't that fun either

[hazy helm]

A shame the Concept of Clear Sky didnt come to light...imagine,faction wars shouldve been more integral to the game...

[stray sentinel]

I was joking but my point was that clear sky despite trying to open the road to some new cool mechanics, it felt very clunky and annoying

[stray sentinel]

That's exactly my point. It is a shame because clear sky could really have been the best of the three but it failed pretty bad on different fronts

[solid dome]

@hazy helm ?!

He said "its terrible"

[hazy helm]

A shame that CoP cut so much,not a lot of venturing done there...

[solid dome]

What in oblivion is that nonsensical nonsense

[hazy helm]

we are talking about it

[stray sentinel]

Because it is :3

[hazy helm]

He merely does not know that Clear Sky is the best

🐱 yet

[stray sentinel]

That's also true, but I think that the good thing about it is that it was able to take all the good things frm both its ancestors

They went more for quality rather than quantity

[hazy helm]

Wdym,its a colourless barren wasteland with very little worth doing

Its the most boring and unadventurous of the three

A real shame

I guess GSC at that point got better at gouging what can be achieved with one year of dev since CoP has so few cut content,most of ehat was planned was achieved

Its just, unadventurous by design

[stray sentinel]

For instance the map is better understandable than in the other games,
then I liked the underground sections as much as the ones in shadow of Chernobyl because I felt that bit of horror that in clear sky was totally missing
I liked side missions too because you are in control of your actions and that will influence the ending

[stray sentinel]

To me it isn't all just exploring

[hazy helm]

The maps are disconnected cells hastily thrown together and the only good underground maps for CoP is the underground pass to pripyat which I belive to be a heavely gutted and ruined cut map for CS,,there is very little interectivity and its just aimslessly walking,its true the sidequests are good but theyre like attraction rides eithout much fanfare,done as dryly as possible,the writting of the whole game and lore took a massive step down as did the visuals and AI as eell as the combat and balancing

Its an heavely streamlined experience that by the end feels extremely hollow

It has good setpieces but aside from that,very little to sink your teeth

Unlike SoC or CS,CS tho was very much a new team trying to reash ideas of SoC

Trying to "remake" it

[stray sentinel]

I agree about the fact the story is not as good as shadow of Chernobyl, but on that front clear sky is even worse... I don't usually like prequels, but clear sky is just "oh the zone is doing emissions because a guy is beeing bad... Go get him!"and that's it

At least CoP had a bit of shady mistery at the beginning

Then what do you mean by interactivity?

[hazy helm]

Clear Sky expands on the lore and story of the factions and zone,its writing is by far the best in the series,CoP not really

[hazy helm]

Lets just say that after playing CoP once to completion there is no reason to go back,everything will play out the same,you will do the same things and everything will be in the same place
SoC and CS are somewhat alike but many of my playthrus are so starkly different in how they play out that it keeps me coming back
Its on rails and heavely scripted nature (Of CoP)may have helped it in bringing more western appeal but it isnt as good as you may think

It ends up veering too much into that side

Its an incredibly flawed stalker game
But then again
CoP is the black sheep of the series

CoP is so different from everything else that I feel bad comparing them

Its the most frictiknless and more rounded of them but also the more stale and so and so

I had much more strong opinions on the 2 other which are more alike each other

[stray sentinel]

I may agree on the replayability

[hazy helm]

In truth you should merge all 3 aproaches

There ARE things CoP does right

Its not all doom and gloom

Just like how there are things CS does right and things SoC does right

altho I prefer the RPG balancing of SoC to the more upgrade focused of CoP,I say CS is a goo middleground

[stray sentinel]

I totally agree on this but in the end I may remember better bad things from CS rather than the other two.
I mean, on cs the zone doesn't feel like the zone of soc, weapon system is a mess, it lacks the horror factor, there is no balance between people and mutants, and last mission is the definition of anticlimax

[hazy helm]

The weapon balancing is what makes the combat good and I will die on this hill
There is a reason why weapons in CS are so innacurate and that is to drag out fights and to force you yhe player to play a more proactive,close combat fighting style,and as well yo force you to use the new upgrade system,
The different systems that they implemented to try and improve the shooting and fighting are genuinely good
It ends up giving you the best firefights of the series
But yes CS had very little of in the ways of horror owning to its focus on faction war in its development but saying that it is without merit is downright wrong

[stray sentinel]

Oh sorry by weapon system I meant the upgrading part: where you have to find the usb sticks, some upgrades can only be performed by some mechanics, the "upgrading tree" of a weapon ecc... ecc...

I think the cop version of upgrades is much more linear and polished

[hazy helm]

I dont agree at all then
Thats forcing you to complete side content and experiment in other playthrus thus adding flavour
I wouldve wanted them to expand on that more tho

A real shame

And its puzzling

[stray sentinel]

I liked more the toolbox digging

[hazy helm]

You have 2 ultimate upgrades in CoP that they wouldve beneffited from locking begind the 2 factions

But no

Its puzzling

[stray sentinel]

We are on a completely different page XD
But that's the beauty of this

[hazy helm]

I hate the new mentality of see everything in your first playthru

God

I need to keep playin NLC

[stray sentinel]

I played all three games for quite some time but in the end the one I'll like to come back and play will always be soc

[hazy helm]

SoC is my fav still yhea

[stray sentinel]

At least on this we are friends XD

you won a monolith

Make a wish

[hazy helm]

Let there be Legend Returns 1.0.0

Please I beg of you

[ivory hedge]

To be honestly to me,all stalker games kind of feel short. You can do all the missions in max 5 hours.

I really hope in the new game it'll be longer.

For the map and stuff,i don't really mind them actually? I can't complain about them. However sometimes the long walks from one place to another can be annoying.

I played all the three games but i don't think i finished CS because i didn't know where to go or it crashed. I forgot. But i got on the end of it,i am pretty sure. When you were at the red forest area. (If i recall well.)

And i absolutely love getting the heart of oasis artifact in CoP.

And after all,in all 3 games i find things i really like.

[hazy helm]

The ending is 3 zones past red forest you are just starting on the end game content

As soon as you get into Limansk you enter yhe zone of no return
For SoC its the stadium and for CoP its Pripyat

Of course tho CoP has a freeroam mode after you finish it

[ivory hedge]

I think i got stuck on the mission that was in the red forest. I couldn't find the place and then i just gave up lmfao

But if i had to do it now,i think i'd know where to go.

[hazy helm]

Its marked on your map tho...

I dont think you would get stuck doing the quest ad well

[ivory hedge]

Yes but i literally didn't find it somehow. I thought it was in the tunnel next to the bridge. Which it was not.

But after all it was the only one game i didn't finish

From all 3,it is kind of a shame. I might try someday.

[placid laurel]

should i go to x18 just after raiding the bandit base?

im hella scared also

[floral valley]

I did it that way yeah

Bring nades or other explosives

[placid laurel]

i dont got much

how do i stay calm im scared easily

[floral valley]

Treat it like a video

Made stupid comments in your head

About 4 nades should be enough

Maybe less idk I don't remember how many I needed

[placid laurel]

i got total 9 nade

[floral valley]

Ye you're good

[placid laurel]

alr ty

[stray sentinel]

Play a chiptune in the background

[floral valley]

Lmao

[placid laurel]

lol

[stray sentinel]

I honestly did that in underground of agroprom... I would have died at first bloodsucker encounter if not

That scared the hell out of me

[floral valley]

I remember going in there for the first time blind

[placid laurel]

i couldnt play the game because of that

[floral valley]

Scared the shit outta me

[stray sentinel]

That red light squeaking is the worst

[floral valley]

So true

[placid laurel]

and also it was invisible and i couldnt play for weeks and deleted the game 😄

[placid laurel]

YES

[floral valley]

I entered agroprom after having fought the spetsnaz or whatever so I was already on edge asf

[stray sentinel]

At least in soc they are quite visible... On CoP you only hear their panting

Untill they are really close

[floral valley]

I haven't encountered any in CoP yet so idk

[placid laurel]

@floral valley can you check the anomaly discord i cant send photo here

[floral valley]

What channel exactly

[placid laurel]

[hazy helm]

Im suprised as well,when ppl tell me that they usually were at garbage not red forest

[nimble cipher]

azurite09 has been warned

wheres the stadium

[patent cargo]

Hello stalker

[finite dragon]

Hello. How are you?

[hazy helm]

Pripyat the big ass place where you fight hordes of mutants before the CNPP

[placid laurel]

alr ty

[hazy helm]

Could always try the newest translation of X-7 Prologue

[ivory hedge]

Would you? 🤨

[silver ledge]

Probably

But NO

[ivory hedge]

It's a really interesting place. And most stalker go there to get money,but i don't know if i would or not.

Yk it looks interesting,and you'd like to explore but at the same time,would you like to die? No.

[worn oar]

Day 99999 without news

[worn oar]

That big fatass of a place you reach before leaving pripyat to chernobyl. Anomalies, mutants, and Monolith snipers hehe

The only thing im complaining about is that its half durability and my NBC suit helmet is just absolutely shattered

[sterile flame]

they stole from some laboratory, or they have their own secret production

[fluid knoll]

Why?...

[kindred cosmos]

Do we think release will still be December?

[solid dome]

Cmon, mane

[unkempt sphinx]

it better still be released in december. i bought the super deluxe physical for 360 bucks through amazon. delivery is still set for januari 4-5

[solid dome]

It'll not release in December in my opinion

It either comes before the holidays or it's delayed

It coming before the holidays - meaning September-November - is highly unlikely

[kindred cosmos]

Yeah that’s why I’m waiting to pre-order the ultimate edition until a actual date is announced

[solid dome]

Come back Spring or Fall 2024, sir

[kindred cosmos]

I just imagine they had to be close to completing it if they had 2 separate actual release dates. But the first delay was raw enough back to be concerning. April 28 - December 8.

Maybe next Chernobyl anniversary April 28 2024

[solid dome]

Nope, GSC aren't gonna celebrate the accident anniversary with the release of ST2

I remember them saying something regarding 28 April as a date before

It wasn't related to the release

[kindred cosmos]

It was the first release date

[solid dome]

Someone who remembers what they said can quote it here, I certainly can't recall the exact words

[kindred cosmos]

April 28 2022

[solid dome]

Nah nah

We talking different statements here

[kindred cosmos]

https://youtu.be/SjDMwsbaSd8

Shows release date

That was 10 months before first release date

[solid dome]

You know we can't spread false information in this server

Give up or get beaten

[kindred cosmos]

Just look at the end of the video then

Really the point is just to assume they could meet a release date 10 months out at one point, the must. Have been close?

[solid dome]

No I don't want to open strange links

[kindred cosmos]

That’s a regular YouTube link

[solid dome]

The point is deadlines don't work well for GSC

[kindred cosmos]

Yeah I know. Just had went through all the content again today and got myself all excited

Indeed

I do wish they would show more content

I’m very interested how the map will work. Having all the large separate areas merge to one seamless will be interesting. I assume they will have to puzzle peace and move the locations a lot

[solid dome]

A lot

[kindred cosmos]

We seen a few glimpses in a video, minimalist health and stamina bar, status indicators below that and a compass at the top of the screen

[solid dome]

Screenshots of the environment - to spare whatever "spoilers" you think you can have

Concept arts of how the world is built

Sneak peaks of how the music is evolving...

What we have currently doesn't reflect what we want it to reflect

[kindred cosmos]

I liked the clear sky hud and inventory

[solid dome]

You can't expect old HUD looks

Developers don't put as much effort as 15 years ago

Everything is black boxes and icons now

I have real feeling the UI elements will be based on Scaleform

Scaleform can't be modded at all without having direct access to the project files

Yeah, for developers, Scaleform is like Tetris - it's so easy to do things and it saves ton of money

For modders, it's unknown territory

Sorry?

You say we make Stalker 2 ourselves on OpenXRay?

[sturdy zodiac]

Y'know what, he's right

Maybe if we wish with all our might, and help Goku gather all the chaos emeralds we can make our own Stalker

[solid dome]

Who will be the narrative designer? Sean? Derek?

No, I'll be the music selector. Someone else be the narrative designer.

[worn oar]

My grandma can make the engine for us. It's super easy

My grandma passed away when I was 2y.o

[worn oar]

I can do the writing hehe

My grandma can do the coding

Krezzin will deal with music

32 will do level designing

More work for grandma I suppose

Okay, enough trolling for today , I'll go to sleep hehe. Tell Krezzin to kiss a bloodsucker

[narrow tartan]

We need to take over Bluey in r/place, for room for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!

[tender prairie]

When I was younger I gave myself hearing damage by stretching out those amazon packaging bubbles as much as they can and pop them into my ear. I thought the ringing sounded really cool.

[solid depot]

Hey guys, gotta question

Playing Stalker SOC, just encountered some like mega mutant who disorients me, how do I kill it? 😂

Nevermind, 3 grenades and it finally died

[prime carbon]

Greetings all, hope you guys are alright

[crimson prawn]

Guys do anyone know when we will finnally getting news of stalker 2?

[pearl jacinth]

Eventually™️

[vagrant mauve]

UHHHH HI

[crimson prawn]

@vagrant mauve hi fellow comrade

[vagrant mauve]

Hi and what if military can conquer cnpp?

[crimson prawn]

@vagrant mauve well in call of pripyat they were near their goal

[vagrant mauve]

@crimson prawn and what happened to t64 tank crew in amry wearhouse and red forest

[hazy helm]

The zone

[crimson prawn]

@vagrant mauve IDK

I guess they bien killed by monolith

They have been*

And in army wearhouse surely by freedom

[vagrant mauve]

My opinion they can escape and join the duty or kill by stalker, freedom, mercenary or emissions

[crimson prawn]

@vagrant mauve yup this could have happened

[vagrant mauve]

@crimson prawn have you seen a secret outposts in cnpp in shadow of Chernobyl?

[hazy helm]

I mean to begin with bringing motorized vehicles to the zone is dumb and the game shows this

The only thing that was viable was helis and they became obsolete in CoP

[crimson prawn]

@hazy helm exept if you do dome mappung if the anomaly after each emission

[vagrant mauve]

But the btr in shadow of Chernobyl is a nightmare (can find in cnpp)

[hazy helm]

exactly

[crimson prawn]

Let´s goo i know some stalker lore im clever monkey

[hazy helm]

The idea of smashing tanks into the zone will always end in half to 75 percent of your forces beinf destroyed on their way there bc of anomalies
Same happaned in the CNPP assault if SoC

And if you think they can keep refreshing their maps you put too much faith in their commitment

[vagrant mauve]

I think if military knowledge about the zone this is too easy too destroy the zone

Or the zone happened in USA or Europe

[raven idol]

Bro i my ears were ringing for a bit and i straight up thought for a second that there was a controller irl 😭

[hazy helm]

its more about the GOV not really caring about the zone
The equipment the military carries is outdated and their general demenour shoes general uninterest

[vagrant mauve]

Hey I have a question

What if NATO sent the army to the zone

Or Russian sent

[hazy helm]

Please

Do not

[vagrant mauve]

Ok

[placid laurel]

i need to go in x18 but im scared af

im at the door of x18

[glossy blade]

just do it

[placid laurel]

dude im easily scared and the games atmosphere is really good

even without any noise when i step in its frightening

[shadow notch]

I think the army of the entire world doesn't care about the zone

[hazy helm]

Its much more that the entire world doesnt matter inside the zone
Its much more interesting to deal and create problems on a local scale rather than pushing back yhe camera and making it some kind of political thriller where the entire world vies for control of a little piece kf land

[worn oar]

Stay away and take him down from a long range. Pick a covered spot then shoot and hide.

That's the best way to kill a controller

Just make sure you are a bit far to avoid critical psi health drops

[placid laurel]

do you guys think that gsc will make an upgrade for artifacts or they will just stay same as giving boosts?

[sturdy zodiac]

I think it'd be cool to have artifacts not just be used for defensive purposes. There's a part in Roadside Picnic where Redrick uses one to create a hole in a floor to get into a basement, always thought that was really neat. Some mods let you use them to create anomalies of your own, too.

[placid laurel]

i didnt read the book but im planning on buying it after i finish a couple of books i have

btw thats really good

[sturdy zodiac]

It's a cool book, fairly quick read.

[placid laurel]

one time i dropped and looked at a compass artifact for straight up 5 minutes to see if it actually has a purpose 😄

[vagrant mauve]

Ok

[solid depot]

Ahh good to know. I’m still very early game, had to kill the one down in the tunnel to get to Streloks stash

[worn oar]

Trust me bro, speaking of this is giving me goosebumps 🙌

🤣 I wish I could get an amnesia to replay the game, fresh new memory.

[solid depot]

I bought the game back in 2011, never decided to play it🤣

I was enjoying it last night. I hate single player games but Stalker is keeping me engaged quite well and never got bored of the game.

[worn oar]

Exactly! Not gonna lie, I kinda felt off the first time I started playing it. I usually forget to save and lose progress and that made me leave the game for like a month or two. However, when I got back, I really had an entirely different experience fr. It was insanely fun.

[solid depot]

Ive forgetton so many times at first

Now I save instictively every 10 minutes or so, sometimes even 2 or 3 if mid mission 😂

[worn oar]

I literally save every 1 min

Whenever I do something important to be fair

[solid depot]

I'm the most geared ive ever been currently, saved multiple times so I don't lose the stuff lol

[worn oar]

My friend tricked me, I killed a neutral and saved xD had to face the consequences

[solid depot]

Most of the time when I die and restart a save, like helping Bes kill the bandits at the beginning, I never got even half the loot from the bodies as I had the first time lol

[worn oar]

I broke the game and had to replay the game haha

[solid depot]

Ahhh that sucks 😂

At least you had an excuse to replay it

[worn oar]

I don't know why I always insist on killing the military haha

[solid depot]

Thats where I got all my good gear😂 I love killed them

[worn oar]

I did some bigass exploration work and got some fair gear in cordon

Idk if I should spoil things for you or not

I guess not! Haha

[solid depot]

I don't mind spoilers at all personally, gotta watch for others in this channel though 😂

[worn oar]

Which level you are in rn?

[worn oar]

Perhaps I can hit some stuff

[solid depot]

Taking documents to Barkeep currently

[vagrant mauve]

Hi colonel

[worn oar]

Allloooooooohaaaa

[vagrant mauve]

Am new here sent by military

[worn oar]

What business you have here soldier? This is the duty commander, how may I help you?

You are in duty territory

[vagrant mauve]

It's like dividing the set before it was sent sir.
I want to survive in the zone you can guide me

[worn oar]

Sure thing soldier! What do you want to know?

[vagrant mauve]

Anomaly

[worn oar]

Also, where is your commander? How can the military be this sloppy and leave a freshman on his own in this hell hole

[vagrant mauve]

Am survive from stalker ambush in the garbage I walked cautiously and came a Rostock

[worn oar]

You want to know about anomalies? Sure thing!
Anomalies are, let's say number 1 threat here in the zone. The best way to survive is to equip yourself with the necessary equipments. But since you are new here, I recommend you keep bolts close. They are as important as ammunition here. Anomalous zones are generally known and sometimes quite visible. So, the moment you find yourself close to Anomalies, bolts come in. You keep tossing as you walk while seeing how it reacts in contact

[vagrant mauve]

Thanks you I will save a information in PDA

[worn oar]

There are many types of Anomalies! Some are fields of radiation and require some equipments to avoid, you should have a detector on you now I suppose? Some other Anomalies fall under the gravitional category. The latter can be presented in form of gravisional fields that either impact you with pressure or tear you apart like you swallowed a bomb hehe. Other Anomalies fall under electro category, the moment you make contact, it fries you like a lightening strike. There are plenty of other types, like flame Anomalies, chemical, psi, and spacial Anomalies. Most of what I told you about can be avoided with bolts. The psi fields are rather tricky and require psi protection you can acquire from the scientists

[vagrant mauve]

Thanks you

[worn oar]

You should keep your eyes open, anomalies generate artifacts. Some have good properties, others are both good and bad, so they should be used only if you have what it takes to nullify the bad effects. Artifacts are a great source of income too if you sell them to the eggheads (scientists)

[vagrant mauve]

My inventory
Rub 5,000
Berlil 5m (From a speznaz)
M8 helmet ( From a speznaz )
As Val and 90 round ( same)
Ak 74 90 round ( standard)
Military med kit 5 left
And PDA and Bear detector ( daed stalker)

[vagrant mauve]

Ok

[vagrant mauve]

You hate a Freedom

[worn oar]

Freedumbs you mean?

[vagrant mauve]

Yes

[worn oar]

I would call it ideological conflict, not mere hate. Their ideas are quite dangerous and may contribute to the zone expansion. We can not let it happen. That's why we are at war!

[vagrant mauve]

Duty forever!

All rights I will going to Yantra to see sakarov
