[rapid umbra]

Lots of them think of STALKER as basically "Tarkov with mutants". Theyre going to want STALKER 2 to be like that

[grand rock]

chernobyl anniversary

[versed crypt]

Anomaly players don't even play actual stalker games so they don't really matter IMO

[grand rock]

all STALKER games came on this date

[wise blaze]

oh i see. frankly i see tarkov as stalker without radiation so far. been on that SPT grind while i wait haha

[stark steppe]

All my homies played every single stalker game vanilla, then lost armour in clear sky near the end

[wise blaze]

couldnt be more wrong

[obsidian trail]

And what about Metro ?

[grand rock]

stumped at this take tbh

[calm fox]

No. I play anomaly and finished all the 3 games several times

[grand rock]

people generally play vanilla, then go to Anomaly/Gamma for more

[obsidian trail]

Can anyone give me 10 reasons to not play Anomaly ?

[hazy helm]

we got another anomaly debate?

why

[carmine crest]

im pretty sure its the other way around

[versed crypt]

Finally! I caused chaos again!

[obsidian trail]

Other than the constant updates

[calm fox]

Yes you really did

[stark steppe]

"The tacticool anomaly efp gamma poopheads who never appreciated the vanilla games." - Billy not really

[grand rock]

other way around makes no sense, as you want to ramp up the difficuylty as you go

[worthy lagoon]

yeah

[carmine crest]

it's a free game so why not play it before buying vanilla to know if you'll like it, despite how egregiously different anomaly is

[wise blaze]

played those already. too linear to play for many months

[hazy helm]

Anoamly is a free game
it certainly aint stalker
it is a free separate game :)

[versed crypt]

It's only been 1 and a half days since I got back here

[stark steppe]

[carmine crest]

it's a game wearing stalker's skin, so it is suitable enough to get a taste

[grand rock]

i mean i'd say you ggot a confused look from my part

[hazy helm]

you know whats also free?
OP2.2
NLC7
Posector Prospect
NS
OGSR
RTTZ
LR0.9.2
COTZ
DA

I can keep going man

[carmine crest]

are they standalone though :P

[wise blaze]

i really dont see that many differences between them. there are many extra bits that are not Stalker. but they are not completley off brand

[hazy helm]

yes yes they are

[obsidian trail]

They're mods

[silver pagoda]

COME TO ME
AFTER YEARS OF WORK
A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS MANAGED TO TAP INTO......
THE NOOSPHERE
THE EARTHS INFORMATIONAL FIELD
AN ACHIEVEMENT COMPARABLE AT BEST TO THE CONQUEST OF SPACE
DIED IN AN ANOMALY MOD
SHOT BY LONERS :pogryn:

YOU CANNOT KILL GOD
JUST AS YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THE SKY UP ABOVE
I AM BLIND
BUT IT IS YOU, WHO CANNOT SEE

[hazy helm]

anomaly is not special nor unique

[carmine crest]

news to me

[stark steppe]

Mods are my favourite lads here, ehehehe

[hazy helm]

anomaly has nothing to do with satlker
its gameplay loop
its lore
its world is massively different

[calm fox]

But it's fun

[carmine crest]

idk why you resort to treating me like an enemy though, i don't like anomaly ._.

[wise blaze]

ill come to u cutie

[hazy helm]

sure if you like it

n othing wrogn with that

[carmine crest]

im an extreme vanilla purist but i still think most new people would play anomaly first because it's the most widely known standalone and free title

[stark steppe]

I like stalker more than anomaly, i played it more

[hazy helm]

I like Nature Winter 2.3 despite it being a objectively not so good mod

[wise blaze]

not really. i mean. ig in several ways. but not killingly

[hazy helm]

its great man

it goes on this dead walking vibe and this way way weird (we got to kill god) but not the Indie RPG kind the COOL kind where you craft silver bullets to hund down Deathclaws

its great fun man

funding a Futuristic LMG in a box stash is so fun

[calm fox]

Well, the gameplay is quite different. I dont like the part where there arent any diet sausages but the vibe is perfect. Also the warfare mode is really fun

[obsidian trail]

Anomalys official discord surpassed Escape from Tarkovs discord server.They treat It like some achievement

[versed crypt]

Anomaly rant (or whatever TF) on STOC No.192847845573735785664789583635768356468535638764536563856387536856853865389593657346953965876467945746673647679467476362171916151521173651746 incoming

[hazy helm]

if I want warfare mode on freeplay I will play Global War

[carmine crest]

tch, gamma has an ego bigger than anyone

[stark steppe]

All my homies seeing another anomaly rant for the millionth time

[hazy helm]

NO I WILL TALK ABOUT GOOD MODS

ok so

[wise blaze]

ig ultimately, if i want to walk around the zone and experience atmosphere. i will take anomaly any day. personally.
if i want a story, I will play the OGs
if I want to have guns I will play anomaly
and I dont like story if i already seen it so anomaly i prefer in the end
plus more QOL friendly and newer graphics

[hazy helm]

you ever seen

santa sidorovich?

[versed crypt]

Nah

You must talk about it.

[hazy helm]

NOOOOO!!!!

[carmine crest]

i'd just suggest call of chernobyl but i wont tell you what to play or like

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/sadcat-gif-25701972

I DONT WANNA TALK ABOUT ANOMALY ANYMORE

ITS SO BORING

[stark steppe]

Agree

[hazy helm]

LET ME TALK ABOUT RETURN OF THE SCAR MAN

[versed crypt]

!YES! It's in your blood at this point

[glacial quartz]

Fire trailer

[stark steppe]

IFEELMYBLOODBOILING

[wise blaze]

so is aids

[glacial quartz]

But did anyone notice the character movements were a bit wonky?

[obsidian trail]

Scar is finally returning to the series !?

[glacial quartz]

I know it's just a trailer but couldn't ignore that

[obsidian trail]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[stark steppe]

I thought i saw desync in the talking but it might be my youtube

[wise blaze]

slightly. but thats not that big a deal. that be that way sometimes. doesnt mean it will be there in the full product

[hazy helm]

DOPPLEGANGER
need to play that one
heard you do the yoinky splonky with a clone????
dunno

NA7 is also great

[glacial quartz]

Yeah I don't like when characters move in pixels but I hope it improves

[obsidian trail]

What ?

I mean. I just want back

[sand fiber]

broke: anomaly has nothing to do with stalker
woke: og stalker games have nothing to do with stalker

[stark steppe]

[hazy helm]

Im talking about a mod

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-sad-fridge-no-food-gif-5296071

[obsidian trail]

He's like,my favorite.Aside from

[stark steppe]

Damn embeds, mod moment

[obsidian trail]

Do you need to buy the original games to install mods or can the mods work on cracked version like Skyrim mods can ?

[wise blaze]

so. if i list my "preferences" of if i could have anything in s2 would we call them anomaly wants
gun moding (attachments) not nearly tacticool tho
food cooking semi better than OGs
possibly a different health system than just "use bandage" "use healkit" but not neccessarily tarkov either
3d pda

[versed crypt]

You're not allowed to have fun and talk about good stuff Vasim. You know that.

[sand fiber]

you don't have to buy anything

[carmine crest]

there is no cooking in vanilla you just eat :P

[stark steppe]

Taps the nofun sign

[obsidian trail]

Seriously?!

[wise blaze]

were the stove things not in vanilla? dang. i really gotta go play them again

[pearl jacinth]

tourist delight my favorite

[stark steppe]

Gotta eat your sosig

[carmine crest]

nope there are campfires decorating the environment but you just have 3 food items, bread doctor sausage and tourist delight

[versed crypt]

The idea of fun disappears when you enter en_stalker

[wise blaze]

geez. anomaly really altered my perception hah

[carmine crest]

it is easy to forget :P

[stark steppe]

If only i could speak UA, tried using google translate to talk and they shot me on sight :(

[sand fiber]

they really shouldn't add crafting/cooking tbh

[wise blaze]

why not? adds to atmo and survival aspect which is what i go for. i get why others might not

[stark steppe]

How am i going to make my sosig laced with vodka?

[obsidian trail]

Stalker trying to be like Red Dead Redemption ?

[wise blaze]

wild haha. lemme ride that horse thing. what was it called?

[obsidian trail]

Horse ?

[versed crypt]

Yeah, google translate isn't the best.

[wise blaze]

was a cut mutant

[sand fiber]

"""legally""" you probably have to, yet no one cares, including GSC

[stark steppe]

I hope the stalker 2 credits have cats in them :P

[obsidian trail]

Piracy isn't the problem.It's If the mods will work on cracked versions

Then again,Skyrim mods can work on cracked versions

[solid dome]

What in tarnation... Such a major trailer drop today it came off as a HURRICANE. The Gods have heard us.

[wise blaze]

I was using russian cause its all i know and i thought it was close enough. they reallly mostly just knew it was russian and i got shot too haha

[solid dome]

No piracy discussions here please

[sand fiber]

it doesn't
for crafting to work you have to make a full-blown survival game, which stalker isn't

[stark steppe]

Hello old friend, the old gods have awoken yes yes

[wise blaze]

frrrrr

[glossy blade]

The Monolith blessed us

[solid dome]

I'm still in awe my bois

[wise blaze]

wdym it doesnt? and wdym full blown. where is the line between not a surv game and a surv game

[stark steppe]

I love that ak moment tho

[worn oar]

A GOOD GSC SLAP. THIS IS A GREAT SURPRISE

[stark steppe]

THE OLD GODS AWOKEN!!

[pearl jacinth]

MILK!

[obsidian trail]

Sure thing mod

[weary sonnet]

This trailer is amazing

[sand fiber]

popular mods nowadays use forks of the engine and don't require you installing the original games at all

[solid dome]

You, sir, are the mfing MVP.

[sand fiber]

so answering your question yes they will

[stark steppe]

OH VEY, THE LADS AWAKE

[worn oar]

He'll yeah! Ironically, strider was sharing his Monolith trauma with us haha

[solid dome]

Kuro may ban you out of a sudden, you know

[pearl jacinth]

this is the video game trailer equivalent of an army general storming into the barracks firing blanks from his revolver to wake up the room

[stark steppe]

The mods wield the wishgranter... probably

[solid dome]

Next thing you know, youre chained to a pipe in Agroprom

[hidden stratus]

Good trailer

[pearl jacinth]

ping the entire monolith role lol

[versed crypt]

They have something even worse...the ban hammer

[stark steppe]

Wake up mister stalker... its time to smell.... the anomalies...

[balmy hound]

Watching and watching and watching

[worn oar]

This was definitely CPR for me ahah

[solid dome]

Truly the right description of how everyone feels

[stark steppe]

We have been in a coma for... insert last trailer

[solid dome]

[sand fiber]

a full-blown survival stalker game would be something like NLC, play that and compare it to SoC.
coincidentally, NLC is one of the few mods where survival systems actually matter

[balmy hound]

I never thought I would get a new Stalker 2 trailer today when I woke up

[hidden stratus]

Hahah yeah same, can't wait for all the videos debriefing every single frame

[solid dome]

Its a cosmical trailer

[obsidian trail]

The guy who's playing Arknights and who I share 4 servers with ?

[pearl jacinth]

i was talking about stalker literally yesterday

[stark steppe]

I quite literally finished shooting vr guns and saw a stalker 2 trailer 8 minutes ago

[solid dome]

No clue what Kuro plays and what he plays with, and who, where...

[pearl jacinth]

and then this shit happens

[worn oar]

And then they bring me and you to bully the chit out of him haha

[wise blaze]

what nlc full name? ill look it up
but could you also give it to me in terms of what you consider a "full blown surv game" like DayZ or rust or conan or something?

[pearl jacinth]

OK GUYS AT THIS FRAME WE CAN SEE A WALL

[obsidian trail]

I looked at his mutual server thing and saw we were both in the same 4 servers.

[solid dome]

@pearl jacinth MONOLITH BLESSED US and it was Molit who brought forward the topic to them. Thank Monolit, the most lit person in the whole nation.

[hidden stratus]

With this upload schedule, should we expect another trailer in January? Maybe the release trailer??

[worthy lagoon]

Play Goldsphere @hazy helm

[pearl jacinth]

MILK

[stark steppe]

Monlit monolit

[wise blaze]

hey never thought to ask. whats STOC for.

[chilly vessel]

Why there is still no full released date

[solid dome]

Lmao

[worn oar]

A notification came up and I read GSC lol.. I nearly broke my screen pressing on it

[stark steppe]

q1 2024

[pearl jacinth]

RAHMI hello

[chilly vessel]

Ik but i mean full date

[versed crypt]

4 servers potential to meet Kuro sounds mega oof.

[stark steppe]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid dome]

Because Geralt of RIvia fought the Release Date and won the duel...

[pearl jacinth]

because i ate it sorry guys

[obsidian trail]

One question.Is Arknights worth playing my guy ?

[solid dome]

I have to go outside and take a good breath or I may go into intensive care due to the huge flow of emotions

[worn oar]

I need someone to punch me in the face haha, I'm suddenly all active

[sand fiber]

NLC 7's the name
i mean games like darkwood and pathologic

[obsidian trail]

Cya may guy.Have a nice walk

[solid dome]

GSC SHOOK THE BEE HIVE!!

[grim palm]

🐝

[versed crypt]

NO! You've done it now! He will start telling you why you should play it again.

[worthy lagoon]

yes, even though i mainly play GFL

[pearl jacinth]

@vernal magnet hey r u alive

[worthy lagoon]

Do you feel satisfied? @solid dome

[versed crypt]

Oh here we go

[worthy lagoon]

He's probably alive because he's forced to live in order to play STALKER 2

[pearl jacinth]

checking to make sure the release of a trailer didn't give you a heart attack

[obsidian trail]

Nice.I play Punishing Grey Raven mostly and now Reverse 1999.Been playing GFL1 for 3 years now and am ready for GFL2

[wise blaze]

so having water. having food. looting and healing is pathologics mechanics.
ammo and gun managment too. sooooo is that not all stalker has too?

[worn oar]

Definitely haha! Bro is taking notes for a vid to talk about the new trailer

[pearl jacinth]

i already know he started SCREAMING

[hazy helm]

most mods are standalone nowadays

[hazy helm]

Imma play Posectos Project first

[obsidian trail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/stickers/987254263891767358.png

[vernal magnet]

Yea im at work right now but going crazy in my discord breaking trailer details down

[obsidian trail]

Nice.Can you recommend me a few and for wich games ?

[sand fiber]

OBLIVION LOST REMAKE

[hazy helm]

start with OGSR,base OGSR
not OGSR GA,that one is bad

[obsidian trail]

All are for Shadow of Chernobyl right ?

[versed crypt]

Alright I'm going to go and play something. You're safe for now.

[worn oar]

@solid dome died

[hazy helm]

its standalone
you dont need the games

[hazy helm]

have a great day boris

[obsidian trail]

Nice.Moddb If I'm correct?

[hazy helm]

aye

[upbeat kite]

Unhealthy to be agitated for new game in 2023 however cannot calm down after today’s trailer.

[hidden stratus]

Hahah everyone going crazy atm

[pearl jacinth]

he lives!

[obsidian trail]

Thanks.I'm already in a Stalker mood again anyway.Gonna try the mods sometime before Stalker 2 comes out

[sand fiber]

what i mean is that for complicated survival mechanics to work the entire game needs to be centered around them, not leaving much freedom for the player
that's really not how the original games were designed, and S2 shouldn't be either

[wise blaze]

who said anything about complicated? need water. drink. need food. eat. need gun to not jam. repair. ez

[sand fiber]

those tend to be unnecessary and annoying

[wise blaze]

based on what? preference of you? theres a reason i qualified what i said initially

[hazy helm]

what are we talking about
pahtologic what

who

whomst has invoked thy myth

[wise blaze]

tbh idk anymore. i said somethin simple that then got boofed my nozar

[sand fiber]

based on objective and FACT CHECKED facts

[wise blaze]

so link them

[hazy helm]

I mean I guess Patho is also one of those games that get called ImSim wrongfully just like stalker so

I guess theres some comparison

at least a thin thread

[sand fiber]

that's kinda the point, simple survival mechanics don't add anything, complex mechanics turn your game into a survival one

[wise blaze]

that makes no sense. you argue against their addition because they add problems. yet also claim they add nothing?

[pearl jacinth]

then make the in-between

[wise blaze]

you also never answered my question of where the line is between complex and simple surv games

[sand fiber]

yes drinking water adds nothing to the game and is simultaniosuly annoying

[wise blaze]

so it adds annoyance

[hardy bear]

just adds item bloat

[sand fiber]

that's semantics

[drowsy wedge]

hello. will the stalker 2 have modification

[hardy bear]

the originals could do without food

[wise blaze]

you who said it my G

[sand fiber]

only one

[pearl jacinth]

yes

[drowsy wedge]

what?

[wise blaze]

yes and no

[sand fiber]

it will have the modification

[pearl jacinth]

whar will the contents be

[rocky jasper]

I'm thinking about returning to play COP, the multiplayer servers still having active players?

[sand fiber]

simple surv games don't exist/tend to lose any surv aspect after 2 hours of gameplay

[hazy helm]

only if the requirements for them are so lax that they are nonsequiters
basically
why add a hunger mechanic if food is plentyfull everywhere and hard to get afflicted with

[hazy helm]

should be some among the three games

[sand fiber]

yes, there are a thousand of insane russian men who play stalker mp 24/7 and will not stop until dead

[wise blaze]

so does any game with survival as the mechanic. its almost as if surviving gets easier the longer you do it until it hits a peak then gets harder but that is not oft a mechanic
on top of that. with how stalker is, that is unlikely to be a problem. as you cant carry unlimited food

[hardy bear]

only game I've seen do survival right would be the long dark

but base stalker 2 being story driven is the main reason why I'd rather not have it. maybe for a different mode or mod, but it's just a bit of a faff otherwise

[sand fiber]

and that's kinda the problem
good survival games CONSTANTLY keep you on edge about resources, up to like last 2 hours

[wise blaze]

the long darks base is story driven. as are the OG

[wise blaze]

there are no games that do that.
and stalker easily can and does
also. that is borderline the min-maxer argument. i see it in tarkov a lot "THIS GAME HAS NOTHING TO DO BECAUSE I RAN SO EFFICIENT THAT I DID IT ALL IN A DAY"

[sand fiber]

there are

[wise blaze]

such as?

[hardy bear]

the long dark has a dedicated survival mode too, which is what I would'nt mind.

[loud gate]

GSC are the literally Gods bros

[sand fiber]

pathologic 2

[hazy helm]

no not really
Stalker aint really a survival game
its a fun lab spelunking FPS with a tinge of horror and a lot of Exploration

[hardy bear]

I'm just looking forward to learning more about the world

[wise blaze]

carry 2 loafs of bread and 1 canteen and it is. if you make an unlimited stash of unlimited items ofc. but that is clearly not meant to be

[hardy bear]

playing as someone who was a monolith seems like it could lead to some interesting storytelling opportunitues

[wise blaze]

the vid i watched quite literally explained how you could get everything you need nearly instantly
and its a simple review

[hazy helm]

if the mehcanics are never a problem then no
the spawning and pricing of these items makes it so youll never have a shortage of them and the downtime beetween them is so large you almost forget

[hardy bear]

although I'm curious as to how many of these story beats are actually still around, and if anything we've seen before could have been scrapped since

[hazy helm]

stalker isnt this overly oppresive experience of survival

[wise blaze]

yea. but if you act as if they can restock bread cheaply in the north zone every night, thats just cringe. its is that way for gameplay but you dont have to exploite it yknow?

[sand fiber]

you can't

[wise blaze]

yea. thats not my argument. i totally agree

[wise blaze]

brotha id buy the game rn and stream it to prove u wrong. but im busy
game is just an "exploit kids for their items" sim

[sand fiber]

sister

[hazy helm]

my brother in christ If i do self imposed challenges I can turn every game hard
no hit call of duty would be a dark struggle even tho the game isnt a hard struggle
dont sleep playing GTAV would be a dash for suvival despite the game not being survival
self imposed challenges dont make a game youre playing survival despite making it harder on yourself,as it stands,the game while has some survival mechanics it never leans into them in any forcing or meaningful way and this isnt survival itself

[wise blaze]

no, i dont mean self imposed. i mean not exploiting easily exploited things

[hardy bear]

that's self imposing

[wise blaze]

no?

[hazy helm]

neither am I Im playing the game
if you are only picking 3 pieces of food thats self imposed

[wise blaze]

"A kinsman" oxford

[hazy helm]

its not as devs intended

[sand fiber]

if you can "exploit" the systems it means your systems don't work

[hazy helm]

also false

[wise blaze]

so you would say that the og games dont work?
you listed pathologic 2. which has easyyyy exploits

[sand fiber]

how so

[sand fiber]

yeah actually

[wise blaze]

so why defend them so staunchly? if we agree

[hazy helm]

you think every system is an infalable piece of machinery with no flaws?every system has an exploit but certain exploit is not the deciding factor in wether its bad or not

[sand fiber]

i mean survival systems like those literally rely on the fact that you aren't able to acquire more of a resource than intended

if you can they collapse

[pearl jacinth]

simple life

[wise blaze]

except. no? not at all?

you took the supposed "top end" of survival genre and threw out any others as if that makes your point strong. which it doesnt

[broken latch]

https://youtu.be/XNGbS0fY80s?si=-0bDyEECYXcrlqwE @solid dome

[hazy helm]

we should be talking about NLC7 which is good hardcore survival

[sand fiber]

if your game's combat system's designed around having miniscule amounts of ammo and you obtain much more it just stops working

[wise blaze]

and that has anything to do with anything how?

[sand fiber]

that's an example

[wise blaze]

why use an example of a problem nobody is refering to

[sand fiber]

for god's sake i just repeated what i said here

[pearl jacinth]

if you want hardcore survival just cause a second and third disaster irl

[hazy helm]

I dont undersatnd the problem you guys are discussing about

[wise blaze]

to which i explained that is also wrong

[sand fiber]

no

[hazy helm]

this sounds like needless meandering about a forgotten point

[sand fiber]

it does

[wise blaze]

i really dont either. I just said
so. if i list my "preferences" of if i could have anything in s2 would we call them anomaly wants
gun moding (attachments) not nearly tacticool tho
food cooking semi better than OGs
possibly a different health system than just "use bandage" "use healkit" but not neccessarily tarkov either
3d pda
to which they responded
for crafting to work you have to make a full-blown survival game, which stalker isn't
as if I had ever talked about "full blown"

[sand fiber]

i'm just making a point about gamedesign

[wise blaze]

then why respond as you did to my point about preferences

[hazy helm]

you can make crafting work without a survival design but I dont think it should be in stalker either
also,gun mods are going to be a thing,cooking isnt (if youre speaking about artifact transmutations it also isnt),about a different health system we already have radiation and psy health as well as modifiers from CoP,will not speak about 3d PDA

[wise blaze]

you said NLC7 is survival?????
this dude has infinite sprinting when i watch

[hazy helm]

now heres the thing I wanna see

[broken latch]

Death to 3d pda

[wise blaze]

hah why? i love it

[hazy helm]

make certain ultimate upgrades quest locked to ridiculous quest and very hard requirements

[broken latch]

I want cop achievements back

[sand fiber]

because your points are about game
game tend to have design

[hazy helm]

?
hes most likely cheating
I don blame him
see in NLC7 you have to walk,A LOT,A LOT
once you wake up you are very fast but as you excert your energy more and more your sprinting and walkign speed start going down and down and down

its not even tied to the sleep system its a different system taht works in tandem with the hunger,thrist and sleep syste,

its great

[balmy hound]

The catchphrase on Youtube if you haven't notice it, it's a good one : "You cannot kill God, just as you cannot get rid of the sky above… But their god was turned off. Hundreds were released from sinister bliss. But how many of them were asking for it?"

[broken latch]

After playing once soc with car mods I can't imagine walking those distances anymore

[hazy helm]

thats the thing
NLC7 adds locations

[broken latch]

Elaborate

[hazy helm]

entire maps are added and fully integrated
they can be stalker multiplayer maps or other stuff
these have quests and everything

its great

I luv nlc7

cant wait to play Prosector Project

[wise blaze]

no. my points literally have nothing to do with any of the games. it was A. asking what OG players thought about my semi-non-og wants B. talking soley theory. there is neither a game needing to be involved nor design of them

[broken latch]

Nlc has co-op?

[sand fiber]

well you asked for an opinion

[wise blaze]

haha well then i feel like thats a wildly different discussion along the lines of "self imposed restrictions"

[sand fiber]

you got it

[wise blaze]

no?

[hazy helm]

I could go without 3d pda personaly and I would want Artifact Cooking in the new game,gun modding was already a thing

[hazy helm]

the thing is these are not self imposed,these are game mechanics that are balanced for the game

[sand fiber]

A. asking what OG players thought about my semi-non-og wants

[wise blaze]

i meant food cooking. mostly as immersion. fun to sit at fire and cook

[wise blaze]

correct. i do not want your opinion, I want your view on my view

[hazy helm]

self imposed would be to not allow yourself to puck up more than 3 loafs of bread and play the entire game when nothing in the world is stopping you from taking 50 cans and 45 vodkas

[static compass]

Strider let's gooo

[sand fiber]

that's semantics

[wise blaze]

ah. well i see our misunderstanding. i was talking solely buying. looting is fine

[wise blaze]

brotha. you are the one who said my words were wrong
you did the semantics

[hazy helm]

not at all needed,useless
now if you let me string together a bunch of artifacts in a esoterical and hardly understood process to create a super artifact,then we cook with fire my brother

I love mods that do that

throw artifact A with object B and mutant part C to the anomaly and wait 5 minutes

its so cool

[wise blaze]

ofc. none of this is needed haha. it was just my views on what would be fun

[sand fiber]

opinion and view on a view is the same thing, what are you talking about

[hazy helm]

ofc ofc

[wise blaze]

not at all. but erm. "semantics"

[sand fiber]

how so

[wise blaze]

so you do want to talk semantics now? i am confused

[static compass]

Feels like a discussion for #💬┃en_offtop

[wise blaze]

why? its not offtop

[static compass]

Tldr

Just looks like arguing, but ain't reading all that lol

[wise blaze]

then why make a statement on something you dont know

[hazy helm]

we were talking about stalkers survival mechanics and what we would want to see in stalker 2

[static compass]

Carry on lol

[hazy helm]

and I will ceetainly mod in artifact transmutation

bc I luv me that sutff

[static compass]

Ah, noice

[wise blaze]

is it possbile to know what kind of file types would need to make mods for s2? i am curious in dabbling with it as i will be locked in to everything stalker 2 when it launches

[sand fiber]

well it's developed on UE5 you can extrapolate from that

[wise blaze]

currently i know nothing. so hard for me to ask about it. and as its not out, i dont expect anyone to know

[hazy helm]

Id need S2 on my hard drive to know
Im sorry I aint important enuf to ask griga yet

[wise blaze]

yea. figured that

[hazy helm]

UE can be moddable
as long as you program the game to be moddable

[wise blaze]

no worries haha. thx.
I just downloaded UE5. gonna look around in it

[hazy helm]

it all ends up in the hands of the developers to act on wether or not they want it to be moddable and to what extent

[static compass]

Agree

[calm fox]

👍

[wise blaze]

as for the actual code. I know jack. I did tiny tiny code stuff in elementry stuff. with the blocks where you plug in what you want to happen. which is totally different than actually typing code
but iirc stuff like making a DDL or whatever are easier than other stuff

[hazy helm]

you can already sit at a campfire anyway so

[static compass]

I liked what Metro Exodus did

Where you could sit at a fire, drink and throw wood on it

[hazy helm]

thankfully we dont need to thank the heavens
easy LUA editing for Stalker modding
and I assume youll use UE5 with a custom SDK plugin for S2

[hazy helm]

I would hate a hard locked state animation for sitting down

[wise blaze]

lots of words i barely understand haha. but i sorta get it

[static compass]

Well, not necessarily exactly like exodus

Just something similar, have little animations you can do while at the fire

Something to do while you listen to guitars and stalker stories lol

[hazy helm]

I assume we'll use UE5 to mod S2 using a custom program GSC makes for us
but we'll have to wait and see

[wise blaze]

That doesn’t sound too hard. Cool

Any ideas if UE5 needs stuff from blender. I did a tiny bit of unity stuff. Where I had to start in blender to make the model have the right colors and stuff. Then put that in unity to put in the game

[hazy helm]

blender is a modeling software,it is a standard for any game engine

[static compass]

I'd like a mod for flares if they're not in the game by default

I love tossing some flares

[hazy helm]

an innovative invention already in the game
id like to present to you
the almighty
FLASHLIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[wise blaze]

Ok I figured. Cool.

[static compass]

Hmm, fair fair

[wise blaze]

I don’t even know if that will be what I add if I do make any mods. Cause not every mod needs assets

[sand fiber]

i hope they add a bnuuy in the game

[hazy helm]

no but its always fun to do some porting of other assets
it would be cool if there was a stalker mod that let you explore a underwater lab
that kinda stuff

[static compass]

New trailer makes me wonder if you'll get playable flashbacks of strider

[hazy helm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1076154389674340402/1097111311671889941/caption-3-2.gif

[hazy helm]

dont think so at all
considering that Skif is a different character from Strider

[wise blaze]

To our knowledge, there are gonna be new labs. Right? Ik people were hyped about duga radar and such too

[hazy helm]

yes

[static compass]

Could be that the footage was through strider

Or maybe skif used to be monolith and that was a flashback of his own

Just throwing ideas out there at this point

[wise blaze]

it pains me to say, but i dont remember strider.

[broken latch]

@hazy helm striders groups after end of cop is s2 new faction, real?

[static compass]

Former monolith soldier is all I remember

[spark summit]

That STRIDER trailer... I'm SO EXCITED.

[static compass]

He leads a group of former monolith if I recall

[hazy helm]

the leader from the monolith group that was de-brainwashed in CoP

[hazy helm]

possibly
cant say anything

[wise blaze]

its prolly cause i have played the 3rd game the least. the trailer seemed to be about when everyone went north right? but i cant remeber if that was end of the 1st or there was something at the end of 3rd

[broken latch]

I think not but gotta cook theories

[broken latch]

Flash back is of soc

[sand fiber]

god i hope they do the underground transport system across the whole zone like in oblivion lost

[broken latch]

OL had that??

[sand fiber]

yeah that's why Pripyat-1 exists in CoP

[wise blaze]

1st game i remember the most. soc
wake up wtf go to agoro go to the labs go north everyone fights right?
CS i barely finished. in swamps emission go north everyone fights CS boofed
and i remember next to none of cop

[broken latch]

I don't remember oblivion lost having any transport

[broken latch]

Cop is actually easiest to remember

[wise blaze]

so i think i want to play cop rn. best vanillia+ mods to use? want QOL and graphics

[hazy helm]

unlikely tbh

[broken latch]

Vanilla is good enough, very stable

[wise blaze]

ok i will try

[sand fiber]

first of all OL builds literally have vehicles
second it was a concept of a system of tunnels between all laboratories

[stark steppe]

When you cant find the gauss rifle

[hazy helm]

CGIM2

[wise blaze]

my eyes are so bad haha. old graphics are killer

[wise blaze]

thx

[sand fiber]

just some cool underground action would be fine too

[wise blaze]

mod db says its for soc not cop. or is that wrong one

[hazy helm]

APPRO has the CS/COP version

[wise blaze]

thx

[static compass]

Snork trailer

[wise blaze]

this is weather changes. not really that vanillia plus imo. is that all?

[hazy helm]

it is more than that

[wise blaze]

ok thx

[hazy helm]

besides
that is the only thing CoP needs

[static compass]

You guys think we'll get to go to the dead city?

[warm plover]

That Q1 2024 release date made my face light up

[wise blaze]

ok. i need help with the install. my bad. i dont quite understand the instructions where do i put it

[finite dragon]

damn trailer got me high

[warm plover]

I can’t wait

Getting a series s for story games was a good idea after all

[broken latch]

From what I remembered OL was just easier soc with more military spawns and exoskeletons being green

[sand fiber]

absolutely NOT

you have no idea

[broken latch]

Damn I missed out big time

[sand fiber]

OL is pre-SoC stalker btw, maybe we're talking about different things

[static compass]

I wanna make a beeline for Pripyat as soon as exploration opens up

[broken latch]

I played OL directors cut off of mod db

[sand fiber]

yeah we're talking about different things

[hazy helm]

cant make it easier

[broken latch]

Just checked moddb and there's nothing about directors cut, wtf did I play then

[wise blaze]

yea thats what i didnt understand. set root folder how

[broken latch]

@hazy helm what was that one mod in soc in which you had to go to red forest (CS map) and limansk to find some sort of artifact shards/parts

[severe quail]

wonder how long till the modding scene for stalker 2 blows up

[sand fiber]

yeah uh s2 first needs to be released for that

[broken latch]

First mod will release under 6 hours

Or 2 hours

[severe quail]

did they say modding tools would release along side the game?

[hazy helm]

the root folder is the game folder
simply go to call of prypiat folder and unpack the mod that is in the rar in there
put the gamedata folder in the rar in the call of pripyat folder

[hazy helm]

shortly after games release

[wise blaze]

ok that is way simpler than i thought. my bad

thx

[granite coral]

The new trailer was amazing

Just watched it

[wise blaze]

wrong.

it was beyond amazing. bruh

[static compass]

Wonder if we'll find out what happened to Scar

[granite coral]

The facial animations blowed my mind

[severe quail]

can't believe stalker 2 got annouced back in 2021

[hazy helm]

earlier than that

[granite coral]

I believe the game will come out in Q1 2024

[severe quail]

i know but thats when i saw the trailers

[sand fiber]

fake news

[severe quail]

i am glad they delayed the launch just so they can make it well and not like cyberpunks launch

[warm plover]

Q1 2024

[granite coral]

This time they will release the game I believe

[warm plover]

Or sons of the forest

[severe quail]

sons of the forest wasn't bad i didn't hit alot of bugs when i played it launch day

[wise blaze]

part of me hopes that they just drop it on like jan 2nd and they "delayed" it to get goty 2024

[sand fiber]

still no guarantee it'll release in a working state

[severe quail]

there wasn't much in the game at least

[warm plover]

Still, it’s better to have a finished game than a buggy mess

[severe quail]

sons of the forest wasn't buggy it was just a shell

[warm plover]

Nah I was talking about stalker 2

I should of given more context

[severe quail]

it does suck that online games created the buggy launch problem

[static compass]

As much as I want snorks, I wonder if they would even make sense to be there, I mean, they have to run out eventually

Unless new stalkers keep turning into snorks

[timber violet]

Snorks will have 2 phases now, you kill first one then have to kill the 2nd one

[warm plover]

Nah the artifact interactions are gonna be wild

[viral moss]

Just watch the new trailer, What kind of shit is this, it's like Call of Duty!

[valid pagoda]

is strider american?

[sand fiber]

nah he's slovenian

[static compass]

The accents for the english dub seem to vary

[severe quail]

the part where there was alot of screens i did remind me of black ops 2

[static compass]

Some sound American, some British, and i can't place Richter's accent

[valid pagoda]

yes thats why i asked. would be cool to know who came from where to the zone

[static compass]

Personally, I like this because it adds to the fact that people come from all over the world to enter the zone

[sand fiber]

canonically the only foreigners in the zone are mercs

[hazy helm]

no

[valid pagoda]

true

[hazy helm]

Mercs dont ahve foreign acents they are still from the eastern area of the globe

[warm plover]

Does anyone else think they should add life of Boris clothing

[hazy helm]

there arent any real westerners in the series so to speak

[valid pagoda]

thought mercs were german

[hazy helm]

no they shouldnt

[hazy helm]

they arent

[static compass]

Personally I'll be playing the game with the Ukrainian dub

[warm plover]

Why

[timber violet]

because W H O?

[sand fiber]

ehhhhh not all mercs are foreign but all foreigners in the zone are mercs

[hazy helm]

it is a meme,a ridiculous one at that,why should they?
Id rather they make more campfire jokes!

[sand fiber]

they should add gay sex tbh

[warm plover]

More campfire songs

[granite coral]

Same here

[static compass]

Add feature to play guitar

[rugged river]

this would be so fire

[sand fiber]

yup

[broken latch]

I hate the fact that mods imply that they are western, seen some mods that give mercs russians patches, felt more logical in some sense

[hazy helm]

It's be better if they were eastern/balkan

[broken latch]

Balkan 😭

It'd be goofy hearing a Bosnian in the zone

[hazy helm]

The brave tale of a Turkish Merc group feuding with a Greek Merc group

[static compass]

I still think it would be cool for the starting mission being Skif sneaking into the zone, with a segment outside the perimeter

[granite coral]

Oh who called me? I'm Turkish btw 🙂

[static compass]

Before he gets knocked out and tossed in the middle of a bunch of vortex anomalies lol

[broken latch]

Soc 2.0

[sly viper]

Quite pleased with the latest ping

Also Q1 2024 is still stable

[granite coral]

Yes it is still the same

Still Q1 2024

Which is a good sign

[sly viper]

Now the true speculation is if the window is Q1 how early can we expect the release date

Maybe Christmas pings will include it

[granite coral]

I think the game will come out around march

I dont think it will be out earlier

[wise blaze]

i heard april 26 cause chernobyl

[granite coral]

April is not in Q1

[wise blaze]

correct.

[static compass]

Well, Q1 is January to April

So the latest you'll get it is April

[granite coral]

Q1 means january, february, march

April is outside of Q1

[static compass]

Hmm odd

[wise blaze]

it depends. some are wonky

[static compass]

Fiscal years are wonk

[deep heron]

the game legends page for the pre order says march 30th

also GSC PLEASE TELL US IF THERE WONT BE ANYMORE PHYSICAL PREORDERS FOR US

[static compass]

Well, one good sign is we've been getting a lot more info lately

More frequently I mean

[deep heron]

I NEED TO KNOW SO IF THERE WONT BE ANYMORE THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT IS TO BUY THE GAME LEGENDS ONE WHICH IS MORE

[static compass]

Amazon

[deep heron]

theres nothing

[static compass]

Hmm

[deep heron]

i want the physical collector's edition

and i get that GSC are in the middle of a war but some communication would be nice

[sand fiber]

pre-ordering

[static compass]

The collector's edition was available at a few retailers in the us but never the ultimate edition

[deep heron]

stalker 2 is the only game ive preordered

[static compass]

To my knowledge

[deep heron]

the stalker 2 website just says to put in your email for any updates

and i did that the first day they announced that and never got an email

and i dont want to buy this shit off of scalpers selling it at an extreme price

[static compass]

I don't think it's available in US yet

But there's still some months left, so still a chance

[deep heron]

it used to be

then they ran out

[static compass]

Still available on amazon

[deep heron]

huh

[static compass]

The smaller one, not the ultimate

There's two collector's editions, the bigger one comes with an artifact lamp and backpack

[deep heron]

im talking about the collectors not the ultimate dude
the blue case

[static compass]

Yeah, the blue case is on amazon

[deep heron]

not for pc it seems

[static compass]

Hmm

[deep heron]

you know looking back at the limited and collector's edition it looks like the collector's edition is a bit of a rip off

its $100 more for just the figure, art book and the different blue case

[wise blaze]

dif game versions tho right

[deep heron]

the digital version of the collector's is the deluxe i think since it has the blue case look and it doesnt come with the 2 story expansions and/or the season pass

and it says the deluxe is $80

i dont remember the price of the limited edition though

[rigid phoenix]

To re-confirm from months ago when I asked, getting the physical Ultimate Edition for PC still brings over the benefits from the digital Steam one right?

[hazy helm]

yes

[wise blaze]

pretty sure its just a steam key

[hazy helm]

yes

[rigid phoenix]

So the steam exclusive content, costumes, story expansions, and season pass transfer from digital ultimate to physical?

For PC.

[solid dome]

I did

[wise blaze]

why are the menus so awful in cop. i right click to unload or drop and it rarely works

[solid dome]

I passed out because of the hype
I woke up and I was in nothing but my birthday suit

[worthy lagoon]

Wdym

It's a steam key

[hazy helm]

the steam key should be matched with the version the physical edition has
go to the stalker 2 website to see what steam version does the physical edition has

[brazen patio]

Holy crap that trailer

[rigid phoenix]

Been checking them, doesn't say if it keeps everything from the digital ultimate. I'd post small screen snips to compare but images aren't allowed in this chat.

Hovering over the exclamation point for physical just says 'ext. campfire content, exc. weapon skin, exc. armor skin, 'early bird' badge.' Nothing is mentioned of the benefits of the digital ultimate's perks like story expansions or season pass.

[wheat gulch]

When will they show off examples of the physical items?

[brazen patio]

Have we gotten any explanation as to why there seems to be Americans in S2?

[wheat gulch]

biolabs?

[cunning spruce]

i just came from the strider trailer. please tell me where to find the OST for that trailer. ITS SO GOOD!

[worthy lagoon]

If you buy the physical ultimate edition you will also get the digital ultimate edition

Preorder bonuses such as the early bird badge will be given to physicals as well

[rigid phoenix]

Okay, just wanted to verify that is all. Thank you.

[worthy lagoon]

The physical edition will be installed on Steam via a CD Key

PHYSICAL:

Standard OR limited: standard digital

Collector: Deluxe digital

Ultimate: Ultimate digital

@rigid phoenix

[rigid phoenix]

I see. Just wanted to be sure since it isn't specified on the site. Thank you.

[worthy lagoon]

It is tho

[rigid phoenix]

It doesn't mention on the ultimate physical edition that it keeps benefits of digital ultimate.

[wise blaze]

that makes 0 sense

[worthy lagoon]

Ultimate (game version) + Preorder bonus (early bird badge and other PO bonuses that are listed in the digital version)

[rigid phoenix]

Just the label 'PO bonus' had me a bit confused if it did or not since it didn't specify. IDK, probs too much paranoia from the crappy gaming publishers over the many years.

But I'm all good now, don't need to worry on it anymore like I said.

[worthy lagoon]

Now i expect you to pre order the game right now

[rigid phoenix]

I will when it becomes available.

[pulsar bramble]

Is there any information on the dimensions on the figurine included in the collectors and ultimate edition?

[rigid phoenix]

I await the email with eagerness.

[worthy lagoon]

Check #🖤┃s2-pre-order they will probably restock when they announce the release date

[worthy lagoon]

@ivory swallow

[brazen patio]

Me too, brother. Me too

[rigid phoenix]

Can't find the specific wiki page now, but UN were planned to have been involved in the Zone some, featured in a cut opening to Clear Sky. Pretty sure there's some loners mentioning UN groups in the Zone too.

Mentioned-only until S2 I suppose. We'll have to wait and see.

[brazen patio]

Yeah that was the only thing I could think of. I can't remember if the PC talked in the earlier trailers, but tbh Westerners having a more involved presence in the Zone outside of just lore hearsay is definitely gonna be interesting.

[rigid phoenix]

So long as they avoid the route STALKER: Anomaly took with UNISG it'll be good.

[brazen patio]

I'm outta the loop on Anomaly and its reception. What's UNISG?

[rigid phoenix]

United Nations International Scientific Group.

[worthy lagoon]

Cut content, lore wise some international scientists tried to enter but their faith is unknown due to an ambush

[rigid phoenix]

Anomaly's take on them from what I've gathered is 'UN task forces sent to try to slowly overtake the Zone from the locals'. I haven't played long enough to unlock the faction's campaign to see for myself what the route really is.

[worthy lagoon]

But there's no canon UNISG

[rigid phoenix]

Yeah, the cut CS intro with SCAR leading them. It's on the wiki page.

[worthy lagoon]

Yep but it's not canon

[rigid phoenix]

Mhm.

I'm pretty sure I saw a wiki page featuring loners talking about UN guys coming into the Zone and getting shit-stomped a couple times but I can't find the page.

Like actual in-game quotes.

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah

Also stalker en wiki is not reliable

[brazen patio]

As long as GSC is putting them in for artistic worldbuilding reasons and not "to appeal to a Western audience" kind of thing, then I have hope for the execution.

[rigid phoenix]

More than certain that's the route they're taking too.

[brazen patio]

Ah

[rigid phoenix]

The artistic worldbuilding one.

[brazen patio]

[rigid phoenix]

Makes me wonder if any other cut content will come back.

[brazen patio]

playable guitar intensifies

[rigid phoenix]

Darkscape vehicle section would be neat.

[hazy helm]

no...countryside...

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/561153801114091521/1139964698721263646/4x.gif

[rigid phoenix]

The Generators level.

We've been robbed of the Generators level repeatedly. It's literally on the cover banner for Clear Sky.

We never see it though.

[worthy lagoon]

Drivable vehicles will not be featured, darkscape was basically a level for driving mechanics

[rigid phoenix]

Ye, I know.

Sequence was cut due to its buginess on the X-ray engine and then some if I recall.

Very minimal hope of it ever returning outside of mods.

[worthy lagoon]

Sleep

[still ridge]

Not surprised strider is returning as an important character

Probably the second most interesting character after strelok

[wise blaze]

i really dont remember him that well. he is ex monolith. is he who made the group that stayed up norht?

[still ridge]

He’s the leader of the group of ex monolith you find in Call of Pripyat

He can travel to Pripyat with you but will disappear after the first or second time you fast travel to the outskirts of the Pripyat

[wise blaze]

yea. they were the ones in pripyat or is that wrong

ok thx

[still ridge]

An ending screen suggests he made his own faction, from that we can infer he created the new faction that we see in game

[wise blaze]

kinda curious why he has beef with our character. whats his name?
ex monolith too apparently. ig given that we have the mark like strelok, we are under the control of the C consiousness still

bruh owl is such a douche

[worthy lagoon]

Actually we don't know if skif is marked, but that thing is just a showcase of some decisions that skif made in S2

And C-Con is gone

[wise blaze]

thought we saw his arm. and i think the gamescon demo showed it too. could be wrong

[worthy lagoon]

?

[wise blaze]

nvm the arm scene i am remebering is just strelok hah

[slender blade]

WHY DOES HE SAY PUSSY FIELDS OH MY GOD

[grim palm]

Strider is basically saying Skif is a puppet

[azure sentinel]

For some reason he pronounces it like "pu-see" instead of "pu-sei" like it's normally pronounced

Could just be cus of an accent

[slender blade]

the P is silent

[fluid abyss]

🇵🇺🇸🇸🇾 fields

wtf, I guess smacking regional indicator emojis next to each other makes it goof out

[gritty yoke]

CHUCKS CHUCKS FEED SNEED

Anyway i dont think this game is real its most likely a million cutscenes and some boring wasteland traversal

[wise blaze]

based on?

[finite dragon]

omg I'm going to watch the trailer rn

[gritty yoke]

The fact that there is no footage from the previous gameshows of the past year. Not even “demo” footage because the “game” isnt a game its a million cutscenes and some boring wasteland traversal

[nimble cipher]

mattt6037 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wise blaze]

thats blatantly false?

[final forge]

Butchering the game with silly American accents I see

[gritty yoke]

why are gifs censored?

[wise blaze]

😐

[gritty yoke]

Explain

[wise blaze]

as someone who was also 12 once, you really gotta learn how to troll better G

[gritty yoke]

Good to know you were born

[wise blaze]

0/10 comeback. ive heard frogs insult people better

[gritty yoke]

How do you figure that an insult.. Im the troll after all your word.

[wise blaze]

perhaps learn some basic grammar too

[finite dragon]

omg people are suuuuuuper critical of this game and its so tiresome

[wise blaze]

fr

[gritty yoke]

what game?

[finite dragon]

but be as you are

[wise blaze]

doom. tf you think?

[gritty yoke]

Hahahahahhahahaahahhahahahahahaahahhahahahahahhaahahhahahah

[finite dragon]

...

[gritty yoke]

Doom is eternal this sequel is not.

[finite dragon]

It doesn't matter it's still being made and that's exciting

[gritty yoke]

sure bud

[wise blaze]

you might look up the definition of "eternal"

[gritty yoke]

“made”

[fossil fiber]

Don't feed the troll

[wise blaze]

feeding and making a fool of are not the same

[fossil fiber]

He just joined the server so it's an obvious troll

[wise blaze]

you are preaching to the choir

[gritty yoke]

SO WHICH ONE OF YOU HAVE PLAYED STALKER 2 OR HAVE FOOTAGE FROM THE DEMO??

[wise blaze]

you can find ample footage of the gamescom demo. if you have half a braincell. so its understandable how you didnt find it

[gritty yoke]

Link with footage recorded then..

[wise blaze]

as i told you. you can find it yourself. its not hard. but that requires brains. so you wont find it in your state of mind

[gritty yoke]

You cant bother or stupid?

[wise blaze]

i cant be bothered to cater to someone as bottom feeding as you

[gritty yoke]

Ok then why did you defend the game having footage from the actual game demo then say you find it..

but you wont..

[wise blaze]

you being so inept as not not be able to find something so simple does not mean it does not exist.

[gritty yoke]

Or maybe its not real or ready that is possible ngl

[wise blaze]

its not possible. as there is direct proof against that beyond brainrotted claim

[gritty yoke]

So where would you find it??

[wise blaze]

literally anywhere that is remotely connected to the video game world.

[gritty yoke]

I see no footage only prescript cutscenes from the trailers

[swift bridge]

Hello there 👋 🤓

[wise blaze]

great. and i dont see any chocolate on my desk either. that doesnt mean chocolate is a figment of everyones imagination.
get some braincells and learn to use basic internet technology

[gritty yoke]

wtf does candy have to do with this you belland??

[wise blaze]

considering you cant even spell a basic insult properly, i dont expect to get you to understand a basic metaphore

[gritty yoke]

You clearly are one.. To much basement dwelling i guess

[wise blaze]

clearly am a "belland"? never heard of it. cause thats not a word.
"to much"
where is much at?
learn basic grammar and then perhaps your trolling endeavors will be more fruitful. tho I still doubt it

[finite dragon]

Hi! welcome

[swift bridge]

Im stalker now.

[midnight hound]

Guys, no one knows if the dual sense of ps5 controller will be supported in the stalker 2?

[coarse echo]

Speaking of localization, if I patch the Ukranian dub into SHoC, is there a mod that adds subtitles?

I would like to be able to understand the chatter too.

[wise blaze]

for PC they have external programs

[midnight hound]

What do you mean? Like i should install something or what?

[wise blaze]

if u want. x360 i think is one program

look for like. PS5 controller work on pc

[finite dragon]

No but steam has a feature now that says if a game has dualsense support so maybe that can serve as a tip toward that direction for gsc

I have a question about the trailer is that one of the stingrays that got downed?

[wise blaze]

not sure. playing cop rn and i dont think any are shown to be blown up

[finite dragon]

but there is that one that is downed

I'm just guessing thats a stingray since isnt this a sequel to cop

[wise blaze]

well yea that doesnt need guessing

[finite dragon]

I'm hazy on the events

I forget sooo easily

[solid dome]

Anyone else still recovering from the new trailer?!

I'm still looking for my brain, I lost it, may have fallen from the balcony and rolled down the street

Who has detective skills round town?
Investigation required!!

[blazing fractal]

im just waiting for the pc preorder to become available in the us

[finite dragon]

The graphics look really good

definitely high end graphics card

[still ridge]

My goat strider is back. You know peak fiction is going to happen when this man appears

[still ridge]

They’re not accents, those are simply the localized voice actors. Believe me, you’d rather have those than fake Ukrainian/Russian accents in English like in the original games

[broken latch]

I wish for English voices to be like in cs

[coarse echo]

I'd prefer for it to be Ukranian, then just have subtitles.

[pale pivot]

Looking at that new trailer it seems like they definitely improved the visuals to be closer to some of the older trailers

But idk how I feel abt the pre rendered looking sniper scene

It didn’t feel like actual gameplay

[broken latch]

It was literally a cut scene

To better visualise and add to the gameplay

And I think it's cool to see some monolith pov from soc cnpp

[solid dome]

Older trailers were not representative of how the game looks like "at the moment" if you get me

[pale pivot]

Yea they did say it was in engine shots and there was gameplay of them moving around

[pale pivot]

Yea that’s what I thought to. Just woulda hoped for some more gameplay especially some sniper gameplay too

[thick sundial]

do we get to kiss strider in game tho

[pale pivot]

We get to straddle him

Idk y but he looked like the captain america actor

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-marvel-gif-26117230

[normal bobcat]

is pre-ordering worth it

I like what I see from the recently dropped trailer

[pale pivot]

Id be weary especially with the development hell this game went through

Also idk if it’s just me or does the game seem to be a lot more leaning into the religion aspect which seems awesome

[normal bobcat]

wonder how big the game will be at launch

meant in terms of gb

[pale pivot]

They said it’ll be around 120gb

Definitely not below 100

[normal bobcat]

yeah so I'mma have start cleaning my SSD

[pale pivot]

Dude same I can’t figure out what’s taking so much space I uninstalled so many games

[normal bobcat]

I know a good chunk of my space is being eaten up by mp3 music I've downloaded over the years

[worn oar]

Yooo, no leak discussion here

[pale pivot]

Oh mb

[worn oar]

It'll be somewhere between 150GB and 200GB.
(This is purely my personal estimation that is based on many factors and knowledge on how games work etc..)

[pale pivot]

I wasn’t sure if I could or not so I didn’t outright say how big or small it was lol

[worn oar]

You need to clear up some space in the mean time haha

[pale pivot]

Jeez

Are the devs based in Czech now?

Or are they in Ukraine

[normal bobcat]

I'm excited to see the map in 2

[pale pivot]

Same hopefully they keep a lot of the first games areas

In terms of vibes

[worn oar]

It's all for your own good brother. If you end up saying things that are regarded as spoilers or illegal, you might risk being banned, or muted. It's the part of the rules. We do not discuss illegal means here .

[pale pivot]

Noted thanks for telling man

Kinda hoped they’d give a concrete release date

But q1 2024

[worn oar]

You will see some of the old locations that's for sure. The ones that are somewhat confirmed ( from the trailers we got) are the swamps and garbage, NPP, Pripyat, and perhaps cordon or the old village.

[worn oar]

Tbh, that was for the better. Giving a solid date might risk forcing the team to announce another delay if things went unexpectedly wrong. So, Q1 is basically about taking a risk margin. If things went as the team hoped, it might release in the earlier months of Q1. You see what I mean?

[pliant pier]

They said in a itw that they have their biggest studio at Prague now and a small team still at Kiev in Ukraine

Wait.. maybe not Prague, but a big city in a near country

[normal bobcat]

recommend checking places like locallow, Local and appdata for any program stuff that you're not using.

[worn oar]

A big open world . That's all we need to know.

[worn oar]

His temp files are probably spiking his disc space lol. Some programs uses the temp folders to save data.

[normal bobcat]

Need to find out how to access temp

found it

16gb of stuff in temp

[worn oar]

Temp is easy to find, but it's better if you only delete the folders with code like names. Some of the temp fiels are needed and should be kept there.

Well, they are usually deleted on their own. That's why it's temp

[pale pivot]

thx bro

[broken latch]

Just buy a sniper

There's a mod for cop

Called Winter of Death or Winter Sniper

You play as monolith sniper

[wanton charm]

Sup all, is there going to be a cooperation mode? Like can i roam around and complete quests with a friend?

[pale pivot]

i dont think so

there will be multiplayer but i think it'll be "cod" like

i honestly wish they'd add a coop tho

[gilded sentinel]

Belarus

It kinda hard tho

Has its own plot and everything

Also there’s xray multiplayer extension, but it’s still work in progress

[solid dome]

I have a fact for you, people

STALKER 2 WILL ROCK OUR BRAINS

That's a fact...
...Anomaly soyboys can't live with

[gilded sentinel]

Imagine anomalings playing s2 for the first time and realising they can’t choose where to spawn

[fast stratus]

I love the new trailer guysss

@old jungle hi. i found the presentation you wanted

[wanton charm]

I meant in Stalker 2?

[solid dome]

KEKW

[finite dragon]

No, confirmed years ago

[broken latch]

Only available in mods

[potent bluff]

Anomaly players are not the problem, GAMMA players are the real problem

They think they are superior and their 400+ modpack are better than everyone else

[sturdy zodiac]

There's a difference?

[fervent beacon]

Is x-16 lab hard to do because i have like 30 bullets on ak 74/2 and 9 on the double leverage shotgun

[solid dome]

I don see any

Alpha, beta, gamma, all the same naysayers

[pale pivot]

I eat rocks

I’ve played so much anomaly that I’m used to the more realistic gun play and stuff

So I’m kinda hoping stalker 2 is gonna have something similar

[silver pagoda]

I WAS NOTIFIED WHILE IN A JOB

Wait I just realised

Strider's face got a redesign since the Come to Me trailer

Daayuuuummmm

Honestly this one looks closer to the CoP one so I guess it's nice

[amber tendon]

sektoras, up your game. we need another copy pasta.

[silver pagoda]

Ill make a new one with STRIDER trailer script soon

[amber tendon]

I can make one with guilty gear cast

[silver pagoda]

my stalker in christ this is stalker server

[proven cargo]

anyone else worried about how short the delay caused by the war seems to be? It went from dec 2023 to Q1 2024

[amber tendon]

correct

[amber tendon]

6 - 7 months

[silver pagoda]

bro its not just war, they work with unreal engine 5

[proven cargo]

that's a bit better.

[fast stratus]

They are better than Rockstar

[amber tendon]

or the fact that they work in mixed conditions (remotely/ in office)

it also creates problems

[amber tendon]

that's the thing

I know that the game is going to release next year

but like I haven't had a single hint at new character in strive

I preordered the game already, where is the rest of the stuff I am waiting for

[finite dragon]

hello, guys. how are you, comrades?

[solid dome]

Haven't slept for over 27 hours

I'm dead

[finite dragon]

i feel you. my stomach was broken

[amber tendon]

did you get sleep after trailer released

[brittle eagle]

I am very excited for STALKER 2! I never played it myself but I have seen the gameplay!

[silk skiff]

My PC can barely run anomaly. I can only watch other people pleasure themselves with Stalker 2

[hazy helm]

why did you say it like that ew

[brittle eagle]

I am gonna play it from Game Pass on Xbox

[silk skiff]

Sorry me english not good

Anyway tf they gon do. Pleasure is playing the game

Wish I could play it too

[sly viper]

@silver pagoda write that down!

[wanton charm]

Ok thx

[finite dragon]

Less bullying non-native speakers, more translating NLC 7

what's your favorite vanilla s.t.a.l.k.e.r weapon?

[raven raptor]

viper 5

[finite dragon]

I want to say VLA Special Assault Rifle, but most of the time I'm running around with a TRs 301

[worn skiff]

Dayum that strider trailer hits hard i bet they tried to recreate the monoliths power on a smaller scale to create the supersoldiers

[torn bear]

does anyone knows if its possible to activate the UK Ultimate edition (PC) in germany? wanna preorder but its not available right know in germany..

[slender crown]

where do you repaird your armor in soc?

[hazy helm]

you dont

[slender crown]

lies

you want money for information im guessing, theres nothing free in the zone

[hazy helm]

you can only use glitches to repair armour and nothing more
SoC has no repair mechanic

[worn skiff]

Soc was early one so there is no repair mechanic

[slender crown]

but i got stalker suit early game and its good 😦

[worn skiff]

Life is brutal

[hazy helm]

buy new stuff

[silver pagoda]

such is life in the zone stalkerbrotherman

[raven raptor]

there's plenty of suits in the zone

[broken latch]

Run stalker suit until x18, from there use monolith suit, after x16 get a ssp-99m and before entering cnpp take the skat-9 armor off of the truck, from inside cnpp just loot exoskeletons and other skat armors

[raven raptor]

that are just lying around

[slender crown]

i have no idea what these things are

[broken latch]

You'll learn as you play the game

Ssp-99m aka the green scientist suit is the 3rd best armor in stalker soc

In terms of stats

It's better then seva suit

[granite coral]

You can repair your armor in SoC if you find 4 Battery artifact and put them all in your belt

After to do that just sit in any electro anomaly and repair it for free at anytime

[silk skiff]

But you still have to FIND the battery artficafcts

not easy

[granite coral]

Yes it is not easy but it is possible

[silk skiff]

Cheat engine and just cheat the durability

[granite coral]

once you find them the suit repair will become unlimited and it is not cheat btw

this is SoC feature

[silk skiff]

i know however using cheat engine is faster,cheaper and better

[granite coral]

not recommended 😄

[silk skiff]

yeh ruins the fun

[granite coral]

indeed

[broken latch]

You can do it with others as well

[hot reef]

r there any traders in pripyat? in call of pripyat

[silk skiff]

its like asking are there any people in ground zero of a nuclear blast

[granite coral]

Yes I know but the others harder to find than Battery

[silk skiff]

Nope

[hot reef]

It was way after the explosion there could be sum ppl that put up base there

[silk skiff]

Unless you playin anomaly and are monolith

[hot reef]

Oki

[granite coral]

I mean Electro Battery is the easiest to find

[silk skiff]

Are there any mods to join the Rnegaddes in Clear Sky Game ?

[fast stratus]

Guys I personalized my windows 11 today

[tiny olive]

[broken latch]

Yes but only as player status, you will just get attacked by everyone

[silk skiff]

Bad game

Yes

[glossy blade]

Can you give more details? Sounds kinda similar to what we had a week ago when someone claimed to be GSC and reports were later removed by Steam

[tiny atlas]

Hi all, do you know when in Poland I order Ultimate Edition Physical?

[glossy blade]

If it is convenient for you l, why not

[glossy blade]

#🖤┃s2-pre-order

[granite coral]

hey @glossy blade my dear friend, I have a question about the language. Since there is Turkish subtitles in the game, will there be Turkish dub in the game? 🙂

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[broken latch]

You sound like an Anomaly player

[fast stratus]

Hi

[broken latch]

Depends on your luck

You'll either find 5 batteries or 25 tears

[fast stratus]

What's up stalkers

[glossy blade]

Turkish is subtitles only

[granite coral]

Hımm tnx for the reply 🙂

[hazy helm]

its a glitch

its not intended

[granite coral]

nope

[hazy helm]

many say it isnt but its a bug with how damage to items is calculated when stacked against protection

its not supposed to repair

[granite coral]

We can do unlimited repair with the other (certain) aftifacts as well if we have at least 4 of them in our belt

[worn skiff]

@hazy helm as a mod do you know if the rumors about up to 40hrs main story are true?

[hazy helm]

yes bc the equation is the same for every type of damage

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-fuck-man-stressed-problematic-gif-15976565

I wish

[worn skiff]

I mean sure up to 40hrs depending od difficulty, playstyle, skill etc but it sounds promising ngl

So the interview from Chinese GamerSky with GSC is fake info? 😦

[hazy helm]

it is interview

[mortal parcel]

1 gamma player like this out of 1000 vs 500 "true stalker fans" out of 1000 raging about GAMMA players hating original games

[hazy helm]

what?

grok what are you talking about?

are you alright?

[worn skiff]

True that they talk shit about us GAMMA players while we all came from love* to the og trilogy

[hazy helm]

As I said, 1 gamma player out of 1000, and even less, talk bad about original games

[hazy helm]

if you want to beat the dead horse
both sides

play Nature Winter 2.3

[honest bridge]

@glossy blade which languages there will be in S2?

[hazy helm]

its in the website man

www.stalker2.com

[honest bridge]

Yo?

[hazy helm]

guy

[honest bridge]

Huh

[mortal parcel]

it's just funny how this server and reddit are constantly bringing gamma to talk bad about it, meanwhile everyone's peaceful about original games in gamma server, which is 2 times bigger than this discord + stalker reddit combined.

[honest bridge]

There's in Arab

as usual, the vocal minority of gatekeepers / "true stalker fans"

[hazy helm]

[sturdy zodiac]

[hazy helm]

are we done?

[mortal parcel]

Yep, have fun

[hazy helm]

THANKS

that's what matters in the end, it's just a game
