I'm just trolling but it'd be cool to be able to make completely custom weapons

It's a video game, the chambers don't have to make sense

Give me an RPG Makarov

Nah but in all seriousness why would it be a bad idea? If we would only be allowed to do that in the endgame (that can be accomplished by locking away some special tools behind an endgame quest) for a very expensive price and only on, like, one auto rifle, then what's the problem?

It would be just as unique as any other unique weapon

[hazy helm]

if you dont make it available until the alst quest,why bother?
if you amek it available early on,why bother with unique guns?

[grave hare]

For the Freeplay afterwards

And it doesn't have to be the last mission, it can be the same way how we found calibration tool kits in CoP but later on somehow

[hazy helm]

wdym freeplay

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[grave hare]

Or lock those kits behind some door that will need a big sidequest line to unlock

[hazy helm]

I srsly hope there is no freeplay

it ruins the finality of the storyline

[grave hare]

Remember how in CoP, after we complete the game, we can play just for fun without any quests? We can chose not to go on the heli

That's freeplay

[hazy helm]

yes
and it was futile and dumb there too

and proves why there shouldnt be a freeplay in the series

[grave hare]

That's your opinion though

Others liked it

Do their opinions not matter?

[hazy helm]

they dont

bc they arent mine

[grave hare]

Lmao

Little Dark Age starts playing

[hazy helm]

bitchass

you gonna turn me into bootleg 14 y old

play Duran Duran

[grave hare]

Oh sorry, you're a sophisticated 15 year old, my bad!
_Can You Feel My Heart starts playing _

[hazy helm]

damn you and your musical tastes

lel

[grave hare]

They're peak trust

[coarse echo]

I think I want to try other games for now.

[hazy helm]

if I put this in and its trash Im never trusting you again

[grave hare]

Wait no

Those ones I named, I was joking about

Play "Money" by The Drums, I actually like that one

But yeah, you still haven't said specifically why my idea is bad

[hazy helm]

which of them

[grave hare]

This

Oh btw I was told in the mods chat to ask you about good graphics mods (only graphics) for SoC. Got any recommendations?

[hazy helm]

like I said,there is no way to actively allow this without taking away the feature from unique guns,unless you commit yourself to making uniquye guns unique models,which takes more resources
the recahmbering method is good for uniques but for upgrades its rarely used at best and at worst just forgotten

I have none

I jus play SoC vanilla most times

[grave hare]

I see

[hazy helm]

they feel like the discount Kino band ngl

if I wanted to listen to indie I'd listen to Slomosa

[grave hare]

Fair criticism but that's why I think it should be locked away until the endgame or freeplay if it's in the game

[grave hare]

I love Kino. Viktor Tsoi my beloved

[hazy helm]

there is no reasson to have the mechanic in the game if the only time you can use it is 1 hour before the game ends when you already have your entire loadout prepped and upgradded

[finite dragon]

Kino is good Smiths

[hidden stratus]

No freeplay? Can you imagine being a company taking years to develop a unique and highly detailed world just to not allow the player to access it anymore when the game is finished?

[hazy helm]

yes

I can

youre the weird one

[hidden stratus]

It completely surprises me to as why someone doesn't want free roam. You are literally the first person in my life to suggest this

[hazy helm]

🫵 at least Im memorable

[wheat osprey]

I encountered a bloodsucker in Agroprom underground, bro. I saved the game in safe place and I shoot multiple times to alert bloodsuckers.
Then I see invisible things moving.
AND IT WAS COMING TO ME, I instantly pressed esc and quit the game.

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[finite dragon]

Hey, guys

[dire maple]

hi

[gaunt burrow]

Scar himself?

Big fan

[spare trail]

hey

[gaunt burrow]

Yo

[spare trail]

what do i getafter being friends with

duty and freedom (freedom did not gave me goth girl till now)

sole reason of me being friends with freedom was for goth freedom girl

[gaunt burrow]

None

[spare trail]

do monolith have russian guns or nato guns?

[gaunt burrow]

Theres no reward for becoming friends with Duty, Freedom and Ecologists

Reward you get from doing sidequests for these factions

[gaunt burrow]

They use all kinds of gun

[spare trail]

i cant carry 3 guns

sedge

TRS , ak and tunder/VLA special assault rifle

[finite dragon]

thx

[gaunt burrow]

Some have 5.45 guns, some 9x39 and some 5.56

[spare trail]

me is scared to step in red forest

monolith are wild government contractors

[gaunt burrow]

Monolithians = perfect target practice

[spare trail]

they have silenced weapons so they are hard to spot and they give high damage

is duty psz suit same as seva?

[gaunt burrow]

Both these suits literally have the same stats

[spare trail]

It feels better doing freedom missions while wearing duty suit

[urban flicker]

how does one achieve a role?

[gaunt burrow]

Which role? Factions?

[urban flicker]

yeah figured it out dont worry my bad

[gaunt burrow]

#👥┃faction-choice

[gaunt burrow]

Nice

[urban flicker]

would be cool if ''sin'' was added tho

[gaunt burrow]

Sin isn't canon

It's literally just a more schizo version of Monolith faction. Rationale behind Sin getting cut was to deepen Monolith

[finite dragon]

wish all the g's here to have a good day

[gaunt burrow]

Likewise

[finite dragon]

I hope everyone has a good day.

[old jungle]

Hello, good day

[gaunt burrow]

Good day to y'all

[half cedar]

What is going ooon here

It seems like Ranjid is rubbing off on everyone now

[frank night]

Good day!

[covert slate]

i see you too are in the Ray Of Hope discord

[toxic vector]

Ray of hope never happens

[loud gate]

Hello

[analog glade]

hey y'all whats the best stalker game to get started out in your opinion

[rapid scarab]

@weak hazel So why GAMMA is very bad?

[weak hazel]

Because they made tarkov out of stalker

[gaunt burrow]

Shadow of Chernobyl will help you understand Stalker world perfectly

Play trilogy in following order: Shadow of Chernobyl, then Clear Sky and lastly Call of Pripyat

[analog glade]

I'm watching a shadow of Chernobyl playthrough rn actually

But I thought chronologically it was clear sky then shadow of Chernobyl

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky chronologically happens first, correct

but Clear Sky assumes that you played SoC before

[solid dome]

Wish you all a good... Wait I'm not Ranjid.

[rapid scarab]

Tarkov is way worst then GAMMA. If I want to play Single player tarkov I just make (Download) it.

[analog glade]

ok that's abit confusing, so clear sky is sort of the latest one? and then SoC?

in terms of when it was developed??

[gaunt burrow]

Release wise it's SoC, then Clear Sky and lastly CoP

[analog glade]

ohhhhh ok I get what you mean

[gaunt burrow]

Storywise CS happens first, then SoC and finally CoP

but like I said: SoC will help you understand stalker world perfectly

CS already assumes that you completed or at the very least played SoC

[weak hazel]

GAMMA don't have the atmosphere of stalker, and it's made by people who don't really understand what's stalker about.

[analog glade]

i think I get what you mean, i mean I don't care for spoilers but I'm assuming that you need to know streloks character for CS? Plus an intro to all of the factions like monolith

[rapid scarab]

GAMMA is a mod pack for anomaly if you have a proplem whit the story then it is anomaly's proplem

[lofty holly]

is it that corny tacticool EFT copy game?

[weak hazel]

Yes

[weak hazel]

Then GAMMA and Anomaly are very bad

[lofty holly]

yeah those games aren't my favourite, that's why i just play SPTarkov

[analog glade]

whats gamma and anomaly?

[rapid scarab]

Ok. Then play SPT I dont care. But I play GAMMA and you care.

[gaunt burrow]

Strelok is pretty important character that'll appear in all 3 games. In each game he plays different role but I don't wanna spoil anything

although you don't care about spoilers but still, I'd rather won't spoil

[sand fiber]

Anomaly is the popular freeplay mod, it also serves as a platform for other mods
GAMMA is a modpack for Anomaly

[analog glade]

all I know is that in soc you are strelok

[lofty holly]

yeah you seem real defensive about it

[rapid scarab]

And you guys are offensive.

[gaunt burrow]

Well that's correct, however in Clear Sky your main goal will be to stop him

Clear Sky introduces you to faction wars as well

[lofty holly]

i just said i play SPT and don't like games like that, idk about others but i didn't do anything to offend you lmfao

[sand fiber]

absolute genocide on gamma players

[gaunt burrow]

you can join Bandits, Duty, Freedom or Stalkers

[lofty holly]

loners too

[rapid scarab]

yes

[weak hazel]

Because Gamma is bad in the stalker way, gamma is more single player EFT with a magic traps

[lofty holly]

that is factual tho

[analog glade]

ok i actually don't understand duty or freedom but I understand monolith and everything else

[gaunt burrow]

@analog glade here's when events of all 3 games start happening: Clear Sky, starts in 10 September of 2011. Shadow of Chernobyl, starts in 1 May of 2012 and Call of Pripyat starts in 3 August of 2012

[analog glade]

icl im still trying to wrap my head around c-conciousness and the zone but stalker is cool my friend showed it to me and I'm hooked

[gaunt burrow]

Duty is pretty simple. It fights the Zone and constantly tries to destroy it (or rather, wants to destroy it). Freedom wants to study the Zone, co-exist with it, let people know about what's really happening in the Zone and free the Zone from the government's hands

[rapid scarab]

Sraegy was just yapping about: GAMMA is shit because they dont do truth to the story. Me: GAMMA is a mod pack for Anomaly. Sraegy: I dont like GAMMA and Anomaly too! GAMMA and Anomaly is a SPT thasf njklkié
@lofty holly @weak hazel Just shut up! Can people have fun?

[gaunt burrow]

Ideology of these 2 factions are entirely different, that's why they're enemies in all 3 games

[analog glade]

oh that's pretty cool

and then the military just guns everyone down in there lol

[gaunt burrow]

Technicallyyyy Military has orders to kill everyone on sight, but Military is corrupt sooo

[rapid scarab]

It is started becaus a gay prank (in game)

[weak hazel]

I wasn't saying anything about the story, i'm just saying that gamma is bad in way of stalker.

[analog glade]

i figured

[rapid scarab]

Then whats the stalker way?

[weak hazel]

Something that don't focus on collecting junk and doing same quest over and over

[analog glade]

my first time playing stalker on my friends pc i got jumpscared by a chimera and almost broke the PC whilst screaming LOL

i think it was SoC of clear sky

[gaunt burrow]

Chimara appears in last game - Call of Pripyat

Burers too

Those mutants only appear in the center of the Zone and areas close to it (Burers also appear in secret labs. Lab X8 in Call of Pripyat has Burers)

[rapid scarab]

Ok GAMMA is shit whit crafting more then anomaly. But in SOC you can do as many quest as you want. (I dint crafted in anomaly)

[gaunt burrow]

Sidequests of SoC are boring anyways, but profitable too. Basically it's just "go bring me that mutant part, go kill that guy, go clear that place from these guys, bring me that artifact" etc

[celest heart]

sidequests in CoP tho

[gaunt burrow]

[rapid scarab]

Same in anomaly and gamma.

[gaunt burrow]

CoP certainly did a very good job with sidequests

[weak hazel]

Yes but SoC have storyline, and Gamma don't, Anomaly and Gamma don't have good enough gameplay for freeplay mod.

[weak hazel]

And i wasn't sayin' that Anomaly is better than Gamma, they are both bad on my opinion

[lofty holly]

SoC?

[gaunt burrow]

Yes

[lofty holly]

i got a bunch of artifacts before the end of the main questline, went to sakharov, became a multibillionaire

[gaunt burrow]

I'm not saying that sidequests in SoC aren't profitable btw, I'm just saying that they're boring and repetitive

[lofty holly]

oh yeah they are

[rapid scarab]

Dont have story? Did you ever played anomaly? OK. Going after Stelock, defend from sin and unisg or stelock ending. It is simple but we can say "Kill the Stelock"

[weak hazel]

I played it, and the storyline was taken from COC, they just added more quests to it, main quest in anomaly and Gamma can't help the gameplay because it's bad and made in a hurry, there is better stories in mods.

And it writes as Strelok

[rapid scarab]

Thanks. So what was taken. The find Strelok part "most" of it. But after that?

[celest heart]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/lost-to-the-zone-living-legend-coc-1422

[weak hazel]

After that they made 2 more quest lines about sin and unisg, but they are made badly.
Sin faction in Anomaly and Gamma is just ctrl + C and ctrl + V of the monolith(very sad).

[rapid scarab]

GAMMA is like Darksouls mod for anomaly. Do you have fun most of the time ? No!

[rapid scarab]

Yes sin is bad.

[weak hazel]

Gamma is more as Tarkov mod for stalker, but there is AREA mod that makes ur butt hurt really much

[rapid scarab]

AREA? What do you mean by that?

[celest heart]

AREA is when you are better off walking outside

[weak hazel]

A.R.E.A. mod for stalker

whats ur opinion about the game

will u buy and play it?

[toxic vector]

game looks fun but i'm not a fan of TPS

[granite coral]

The game is good but it is co-op

Don't think I will buy it

[finite dragon]

ow i see , i thought it a BR

only stalker 2 gives me the hype in this year

[broken latch]

Sektoras loves it so much lol

[granite coral]

Oh nice

But it is co-op...

[loud gate]

I think you can play solo too.

[granite coral]

That's great!

[loud gate]

I thought of buying it too

It looks really good, and it's also just $40, unlike most games

[granite coral]

108k playing right now on Steam

that is awesome

[loud gate]

Alper, have you played Death Stranding?

[granite coral]

I have it on Epic

[old jungle]

How is it going?

[granite coral]

played is much and still playing

[loud gate]

Oh my God, it's so good

I'm playing it for the first time and it's amazing. Kojima after all lol

[loud gate]

Well, playing some Death Stranding. Have to leave soon though

[granite coral]

I've progressed a lot in the game. It's getting harder, be careful 😄

[old jungle]

I don't know this game. What is it?

[loud gate]

I play on Hard, Alper, don't scare me

[loud gate]

It's complicated

[granite coral]

I hate BTs in this game so much!!

[loud gate]

I mean, you have played Kojima games before, no? Like Metal Gear?

[old jungle]

no

[granite coral]

They're so dangerous enemy

[loud gate]

Going through a BT field is so terrifying

[granite coral]

Don't even breathe when they are around!

[loud gate]

Well, watching the trailers ain't doing much since you won't understand anything lol

[granite coral]

Press "alt" key to stop breathing

[loud gate]

But you're basically a delivery guy, humanity is on the bring of extincion, there's some creepy invisible enemies like BTs, your missions is to reform America

[loud gate]

Yeah, I know. Should do role play and not breath IRL too

[granite coral]

Good then 😄

If BTs caught you it means you're so fooked 🥴 @loud gate

Hard to escape from them

[loud gate]

got caught once, managed to escape.

[granite coral]

Yea but it needs lots of effort

[loud gate]

I want to keep playing, but I gotta go

[granite coral]

Ok see you

Is there anyone can help me to figure out how to sing sleepless night song? i have some issues with my guitar tone i think

I want you to set up a cam and play NLC7

I want to see how you react to playing an actual hardcore mod

[celest heart]

[chrome ridge]

i NEED someone who plays vanilla/ZRP SoC and is right before X16 lab, because i want to test my outfit mod to see if it works and i dont want to redo half the story again. For more infoeither dm me or ping me here :3

my savefile is already post x16 so i cant check it

[sand fiber]

download a spawner mod

so you can tp between locations

[thorn portal]

Do people who hate on gamma actually play the mod pack?Its not "just EFT",the only thing EFT about is the body health system,thats about it,not once did i play it and go "wowzers this is just like EFT!".The meat and potatoes of gamma is the tottaly diffrent way you go about getting guns,it makes you actually use the low tier guns then progress onto the high tier ones,instead of killing a random merc and getting ~100k roubles to fix the high tier gun (100k is roughly 10 tasks or so,so go figure)and then playing with the same gun onwards,dont get me wrong anomaly is still good,i have a modded one (mainly just life improvement mods,and also BaS) for when i just want a more arcadey experiance.To say one is better than the other completley glosses over the fact that these 2 mods function on a VASTLY different basis.

[rapid scarab]

You are a nice guy. thank you that you try to explain that gamma is not eft.

[pale pivot]

gamma is just anomaly with a ton more features. from my experience it doesnt make anomaly a whole different game with different goals and whatnot. its just anomaly but with a ton of QoL and new guns, animations, better graphics, etc

[sand fiber]

it's still bad

[pale pivot]

EFP modpack is closer to EFT

hence the name "Escape from Pripyat"

[pale pivot]

its not bad in its own way its just not a good STALKER experience. If I'm in the mood to play stalker ill pick up and play one of the trilogy (prob CoP ) instead of playing GAMMA or Anomaly.

[thorn portal]

It doesnt change the grind per se,but it does quite a lot to change the way you progress and make decisions.And also prevents you from dunking on an entire faction base with a handfull of medkits and bandages.Overall i find it quite diffrent from anomaly,still it cant be a trully seperate game because it quite litteraly is heavly modded anomaly.As for the stalkerish experriance,thats upto personal choice,some view stalker games as hardcore survival games,some view it as a lot more arcaidish shooter.

[broken latch]

gamma is just a addonpack for anomaly

[sand fiber]

i don't think it succeeds in freeplay either

[pale pivot]

the people that view it as hardcore survival are people that either exclusively play anomaly/gamma or people who don't care about the trilogy (which i guess overlap lol). Anomaly/gamma aren't actual stalker games and the stalker community won't ever really claim them as such. They're just modpacks that are based off of the trilogy. They have their own narrative and structure that differs from the goals of the trilogy. They aren't Stalker and the people who think so are gonna be pretty disappointed when stalker 2 eventually comes out since that will be much closer to the trilogy than gamma or anomaly

[thorn portal]

Why?

[pale pivot]

yea ik

[sand fiber]

no idea, haven't played

[pale pivot]

i mean u should if u want to. just treat it as its own little thing

[rapid scarab]

I am trying to dunk on the mercs but I get bugs. So thats why?

[sand fiber]

the only freeplay i played was stason's fork, and the only freeplay i'll play in the future is demosfen's fork

this is the way

[hazy helm]

NLC7 is an actual hard mod to play and complete
GAMMA requires very little brain activation
NLC7 will have you working your brain

not only to complete actual missions but to game the economy system and make actual plans

its what makes it actual hardcore

its not just mechanicallly hard or with artificial difficulty,it requires you to stop and think about the situation and your own objective

its the only good Hardcore mod

its a masterpiece that youll never play

99% never finish it bc its so oppressive and hard

it truly is,the Death Stranding of Stalker mods

in more way then 1

[sand fiber]

this conversation is truly the pathologic of dark souls

[hazy helm]

your ass will truly meet my boot

[thorn portal]

What you just described is personal prefference,i am not stating that the trilogy games are hardcore survival games,its just that the survival fits the narrative of stalker like a glove,so thats why it has a sizable fan base.I dont hate classic stalker, i love the trilogy,but there is nothing wrong with wanting a more survival based addon.

[sand fiber]

mhmhmjhmhmmh

[thorn portal]

I did not call Gamma hardcore tho.

Its a nice ballance between hard and fun.

The shooting feels nice

[hazy helm]

I am expanding on what I said earlier

I dont carea bout GAMMA past the odd comment on it

[thorn portal]

By replying to me ._.

[hazy helm]

it looks boring

that is it

[thorn portal]

So youve never played it?

[hazy helm]

gotta get those reactions up

[sand fiber]

another proof that good gunplay causes brainrot

[hazy helm]

I have played roughly 2 hours like a year ago

was boring then,looks boring now

[gaunt burrow]

"Your ass will truly meet my boot" - Vasim 2024

[pale pivot]

its not personal preference. people who choose to only like gamma or anomaly do not like stalker and are not stalker players per say lol which is completely fine. it took me a little while to get used to the older games after playing anomaly and i really liked them. i like both stalker trilogy, anomaly, and gamma but i treat them very much differently

[hazy helm]

I have been playing robocop

[pale pivot]

i guess in a way it is personal preference

[sand fiber]

allah be willing when the revolution comes we'll ban any videogame guns that don't feel like plastic

[thorn portal]

I love the fact that Steam reviews are vastly diffrent from gamer magazine reviews because they require you to actually play the game,this is a perfect reflection of that except it stalker addons.

[sand fiber]

the new one?

[hazy helm]

what?

[hazy helm]

yea

[thorn portal]

Thats a sweeping statement.I like anomaly and i am a stalker fan.Having an addon on a game doesnt automatically make you not a fan of a game.

[thorn portal]

Im pointing out that you havent even played it and are actively hating on it.Which makes no sense.

[pale pivot]

but anomaly isnt stalker. thats like saying "yea im a fan of f1 but i only play the games"

[pale pivot]

then u arent a fan of f1 ur a fan of racing games

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is a different entity to Stalker,So is GAMMA a different entity to Anomaly
I dont kjnow why grok likes to play semantics so much
Grok made a repack of his modpack,that is it,it is a completely new experience to Anomaly

like AlternativA and NLC7 are completely new experiences working separate of SoC

bc they are creations of their own artists

[thorn portal]

What?What constitues as "stalker" to you?It doesnt have the same gameplay loop because its not a story driven game,all of the games of the trilogy are quite linear,that main diffrence doesnt mean you arent a stalker fan if you like anomaly.I get what youre coming from but youre pretending that anomaly is an ENTIRELY diffrent game from the trilogy.It is not,at best its slightly more "realistic" with combat.

[hazy helm]

Anomaly isnt realistic|
nor does it aim to be
it aims to be survivalistic

it comes from the Misery line

[thorn portal]

Yes,i said this before,but they arent so incompatible that liking one of them in particular means you arent a fan of stalker.

[hazy helm]

being a Stalker fan comes down to liking the Stalker fans,merely that

no space for semantics or half truths

[thorn portal]

Are you capable of comprehending basic writing?I said its slighlty more realistic.Look at how guns work in SoC then look at anomaly.

And i said only in combat

[hazy helm]

the combat really isnt more or less realistic
there are mods with "realistic" combat but Anomaly isnt one of them,or is it more realistic

[hidden stratus]

Krezzin what happened to your STOC

[hazy helm]

it is more realistic in mainting guns and gun durability

[thorn portal]

What are "the Stalker fans"?

[hazy helm]

ppl who are fans of the stalker games

[thorn portal]

So youre saying that being a stalker fan means you like the stalker fans?

[hazy helm]

to my knowledge,there are only 3 stalker games,yet

[hazy helm]

games

sorry

[sand fiber]

4!!!

[hazy helm]

I am stupid

[sand fiber]

gay ❤️

[thorn portal]

Geez louise,its as if thats what i was saying.

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/tole-cat-cute-gif-12080171459357821404

[hazy helm]

you said combat

[thorn portal]

And repairing guns comes from grazing the fields?

[hazy helm]

it is not included into the combat loop,it is a tangential system

[pale pivot]

"i like minecraft story mode from telltale games. although ive never played actual minecraft, i consider myself a minecraft fan"

[opaque parrot]

Add combat cats as companions

[hazy helm]

combat loop would be actual combat
the repair system comes into the economy loop

[sand fiber]

oh god i forgot it exists

[thorn portal]

Minecraft story mode is a diffrent genre of game relative to minecraft,Anomaly is not the same for regural stalker games.So im not sure what youre reffering to here.

[pale pivot]

anomaly is a different genre when compared to stalker.

[sand fiber]

it kinda is

[pale pivot]

i like both but they are not the same or even close to each other

[sand fiber]

not to a full extent, but the focus has been moved so much it's unrecognizable

[hazy helm]

wdym

you can be a CoC fan

or a Anomaly fan

[thorn portal]

Its still a combat derived mechanic.And also my main point was in gun play,you mentioned repairing.Guns in anomaly behave a lot more realisticly than in the base 3 games.Thats what i was saying.

[thorn portal]

As in?Minecraft story mode is a tell tale game,minecraft is a sandbox.Anomaly is (?) and base stalker games are (?).

[pale pivot]

anomaly is a sandbox survival shooter horror and stalker is a linear narrative shooter

[hazy helm]

Stalker games are Action Adventure RPGs
Anomaly is a Sandbox Survival game
Anomaly features completely different gameplay and stories with completely different atmosphere and experience

I dont know what is being put in question here

[thorn portal]

Forgot to add horror in the base stalker games but thats about it.They still fall within the same genre.Your use of minecraft story mode and regular minecraft as an anectode for stalker still makes no sense.

[hazy helm]

most of the problems arrising from classifications of Anomaly is that many ppl in the west cant view mods as separate to the games they are from which is a big mistake in cases such as stalker mods

[pale pivot]

be honest have you actually played the trilogy? bc if u did we wouldn't be having this convo

[thorn portal]

Yes.

[pale pivot]

then im honestly surprised that you think they are so similar

[pale pivot]

blame operator drewski lol

[thorn portal]

Im honestly suprised you treat them so differently.

[hazy helm]

no

that is dumb

[pale pivot]

bc they really are

[hazy helm]

Drewski is a little drop in the puddle created by Klean

[pale pivot]

tbf drewski got me into anomaly which got me into the og

[hazy helm]

I still cant get over how Klean introduced the west to Anomaly
received a closed beta copy of Anomaly 1.5
and then procceded to play tango with a knife against a Chimera for an hour
all the while calling his Chat actual idiots for wanting him to actually play the game

[thorn portal]

Not to the point that preffering anomaly over the base games means you arent a stalker fan.I get where youre coming from but it comes off as gatekeeping.

[hazy helm]

how does this guy maintain a viewerbase

[hazy helm]

perferring a game over the other is fine
as long as you still love the other game,Im p sure you are still a fan

[pale pivot]

[hazy helm]

I may love 2 things,and love one more than the other,but that disqualify me being a fan of both

[thorn portal]

Yes,indeed the thing im trying to say.

[hazy helm]

being a fan of one game doesnt mean youre a fan of the other,just that youre a fan of that one game
Ive seen ppl HATE the OGs and click with anomaly,they are very different games,Ive also seen ppl hate Anomaly and click with the OGs,they are fans of their respective games

now if I find someone who is a fan of NLC7 and hates the games
Im set

I will parade him in the circus

[pale pivot]

yea if u only like anomaly and hate the trilogy then u aren't a stalker fan

[sand fiber]

more like give them all your belongings

[thorn portal]

But as in a whole they are still stalker fans.Because both are stalker games.Unless they utterly despise the OGs and mod anomaly TF out in order to make it something entirely diffrent,then i can see that applying,but thats a very small minorty of people.

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is not a stalker game
Anomaly is Anomaly

[thorn portal]

Nor can you actually mod anomaly that far

[sand fiber]

if that person exists they're probably the most based human on earth

[hazy helm]

this is what I see as the big issue
many ppl cant accept that a mod is its own thing
which is wrong

a mod is a creation of its own artist and should be seen as its own product and be judged as such

it is quite rude to do otherwise in cases such as this

that goes for any standalone mod like OGSR,Anomaly,CoC,RTTZ,AtlernativA,OLR,etc etc

these are creations completely separate of stalker,liking stalker wont guarantee you will like them or vice versa,bc they are their own separate thing

[stark steppe]

Vanilla best mod

[thorn portal]

Gee,i wonder from where exactly anomaly gets its main gameplay mechanics?Could it be forza horizon?People actually need something to play whilist waiting on a 10 year waiting period.Of course anomaly is going to count as standalone,but considering it entirely diffrent from stalker games is wrong.Youre mixing gameplay and the general sense of what a game or franchise is.

[pale pivot]

call of duty and battlefield have practically the same gameplay mechanics, does that mean if i play call of duty games only that i am a battlefield fan?

[thorn portal]

Nope,they are diffent franchises,published by diffrent companies.

[hazy helm]

what?so it has shooting,I guess it could be borne from Metro or any other FPS shooter
what is the point here
the games are completely different,its like saying RTTZ is still stalker despite being completely detached from it
the problem with many of these things is the insistance that mods cant be counted as separates from the whole,since in the west,modding is seen as attachements to a bigger whole that is the game itself,while in the east,mods are viewed as separated since they are made with the focus on becoming separate experiences that are isolated under themselves
it is different idealogies colliding

its like saying OP2 is still stalker

only those insane would claim that

Anomaly isnt stalker,Anomaly is Anomaly,that is merely that

[stark steppe]

Isnt anomoly built off stalker

[hazy helm]

you may like stalker and you may like anomaly
liking stalker doesnt mean you cant or can dislike anomaly,vice versea,they are different

[thorn portal]

Yes,because shooting is all it has in common with OG stalker games ._.

[hazy helm]

Hammer and Sickle is built of Silent Storm
are they the same game?

would you classify Fallout New Vegas as a Fallout 3 mod bc its built off of that

[hazy helm]

it have many more things different from the series

[sand fiber]

at the end of the day, anomaly is a total conversion mod
it doesn't iterate on vanilla, it takes vanilla's base to rip it apart and stick the pieces together in its authors own image

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is a total conversion of CoC

[pale pivot]

yep what i was gonna say

[hazy helm]

CoC is a integration of Xianis Freeplay

[pale pivot]

coc..k

[hazy helm]

on Xray 1.6

[thorn portal]

It has a lot more incommon,but so be it.Yet again let me repeat my self,you confuse minute gameplay loops with what a franchise and game is.

[sand fiber]

yup, making it even more detached from base games

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is a different entity made to fit its own creator artist

[stark steppe]

Anomaly bad

[hazy helm]

the entire gameplay,gunplay,story,atmosphere,lore,the entire being basically,is different
still the same thing I guess

I mean

[pale pivot]

its not bad its just a bad stalker game if u see it from the stalker lens

[hazy helm]

Fallout 4 is the same thing as Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas

pretty much everything is different

but theyre all Fallout themed

so they must be the same

😔 I guess Stalker is also fallout since its drab themed

shame

it has shooting mechanics coupled with RPG tinges and Exploration focus

its the same series pratically

[pale pivot]

fallout used to be my fav franchise until bethesda drove it into the ground

im glad stalker didnt get sold to a different company or publisher lol we'd be dealing with another bethesda scenario

[hazy helm]

I fail to see why Anomaly cant be considered a different entity entirely seeing as you have these types of mods already in the west

in TES there is Enderal

is Enderal still a Skyrim game?

no

[pale pivot]

bc people think that anomaly is stalker but better lmao

[thorn portal]

Story?No,it is quite literally based on the story of the OG stalker games.Atmosphere?No,the atmospehre is near indetical to stalker games,unless youre reffering to graphical and visual effects.Lore?I covered this in story thingy.And to top it off you coupled another nonsencical anectode.Im not claiming its a carbon copy,its the same franchise and theme,therefore liking fallout games makes you a fallout fan,it quite litteraly has nothing to do with them being the same game.

[hazy helm]

the entire story is completely different to the games
uit is a shitty retelling yes
but no its not the same
playing Anomalies story will nor give the saem experience as playing the OG story
the lore of Anomaly is completely different from the lore of the Games adding factions,characters,and lore tidbits that werent originally in any of the Stalker games
the atmosphere is copmpletely different being there a different story,with different economy and gameplay,and having completely different visuals trying to paing a completely different tone

every you just said

is wrong

[sand fiber]

It doesn't share anything with the franchise, except like, some story beats and the setting?
as Vasim said, Anomaly is an iteration of an iteration of an iteration of a mod, it's been 15 years since freeplay was first conceived
at this point it's to Stalker what Stalker is to Roadside Picnic

[hidden stratus]

Agreed

[pale pivot]

"it's to Stalker what Stalker is to Roadside Picnic" - NozAr

[hazy helm]

Stalker as it stands today has very little RSP ties
it is more based on Forgotten Experiment

[hidden stratus]

Read like 2 comments so imma just say agreed

[hazy helm]

its like saying True Stalker is still Stalker
it aint,its True Stalker

[pale pivot]

True Stalker

[hazy helm]

Truly a name

[sand fiber]

all forgotten experiment gives me in google is 2023 russian film

[thorn portal]

Jesus christ youre so dense im pretty sure the middle point of your brain is a singularity.Either you cant comprehend basic writing or deliberatley refuse to.When i reply to you half of it goes to me explaining that that is not what i said,and the other repeating my self over and over again.So let me attempt this one more time,I AM NOT CLAIMING IT IS QUITE LITTERALY THE SAME,BUT IT IS BASED OFF AND BORROWS ALMSOT EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE OG STALKER GAMES,THEREFORE IT FALLS WITHIN THE SAME FRANCHISE AND GAME SECTION.

[sand fiber]

UT IT IS BASED OFF AND BORROWS ALMSOT EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE OG STALKER GAMES,THEREFORE IT FALLS WITHIN THE SAME FRANCHISE AND GAME SECTION.
it isn't and doesn't

[hidden stratus]

Anomaly is poop

[thorn portal]

Sure.

[sand fiber]

learn your history lmao

[thorn portal]

It borrows from animal crossing.

[thorn portal]

What?

[sand fiber]

as Vasim said, Anomaly is an iteration of an iteration of an iteration of a mod, it's been 15 years since freeplay was first conceived

[hazy helm]

completely wrong
just bc something is based on doesnt mean something is the same or even remotely tied to smth
inspiration is not the same as linking
Anomaly is different,completely and utterly,just bc it is an inferior retread of the main story doesnt mean it is Stalker,its not,its something unto itself completely bc its something completely original and different from stalker

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/551934751712477201/1201522595305099407/image0.gif

[pale pivot]

that's like saying the souls games are part of the berserk franchise

[hazy helm]

this argument doesnt make sense

[pale pivot]

is that u bruh

[hazy helm]

literally me

[pale pivot]

nahhh aint no way

[thorn portal]

Sure,the fact it has stalker in its name,the same places,anomalies,artifacts,factions,people,lore implications... is all just a big ol coincidance.It is trully a diffrent franchise,why i think it corrilates more closely with Bully rather than the stalker games.

But apart from those minute simularities,its sooooo diffrent,why when i play it i feel like im playing yugiouh.

[pale pivot]

u must think cod and battlefield are the same then lol

[thorn portal]

Yet another nonsensical anectode.

[hazy helm]

It correlates with nothing BUT itself
it is anomaly,not stalker
just bc OGSR or NLC7 or NA7 or OP OGSR or etc has the same territories and the same setting deosnt mean they are
1-derivative of each other
2-stalker
they are projects individual to each other and individual to stalker

[thorn portal]

Would you like me to use crayons when explaining why cod and battlefield are not like anomaly and the OG trilogy?

[pseudo gazelle]

Hey man, I could make some weird romance game out of Stalker that includes the same places, anomalies, artifacts, factions... but it's a fanfiction story with General Voronin writing love letters to Lukash.

[hazy helm]

your way of thinking is quite toxic to modding itself by forcing the logic that a creation based on stalker needs unilaterally to be a stalker creation despite no desire to

[pseudo gazelle]

That's still Stalker, right? Voronin x Lukash love?

Like Romeo and Juliet of the Zone!

[hazy helm]

that is wholy your own story
born from your imagination and creation

🫵 YOU are creating it

it belongs to no one but YOU

[sand fiber]

i'd play tbh

[pseudo gazelle]

But that guy's logic, it's Stalker!!

It's part of the Stalker franchise!! Canon!!

[ionic cargo]

wtf is going on here

[pseudo gazelle]

I'll mention how they both go artifact hunting for Mama's Beads!

And how they found love in a hopeless place!

[hazy helm]

Im not even going against Anomaly
Im literally protecting Anomaly's right to exist as a separate entity and has a individual entity

[thorn portal]

Yeah you are just playing devils advocate now,i refuse to belive someone can missreprisent anothers argument so effortlessly.

It incredible honestly.

[pseudo gazelle]

I dunno man. I can make a SoC story mod with that premise, make it standalone like Anomaly, and then call it Stalker: Kings of the Zone!

[thorn portal]

No matter how many times i repeat my self,that i do not in fact belive they are carbon copies,you still somehow extrapolate that i do

[pseudo gazelle]

Has the same atmosphere, heck, even survival aspects you think are integral to Anomaly.

[hazy helm]

my brother in christ
you are literally saying that Anomaly
a mod with loads of fan fiction and headcannon,that itself is completely different from stalker bar the setting
is still withing stalker
it is not

it is its own thing

and should be regarded as such

[thorn portal]

Writing fan fic and games are two diffrent things @pseudo gazelle

[pseudo gazelle]

But the story is that you must reunite these lovers against the incredibly horrific atmosphere that is the Zone.

Yeah, and Anomaly is a fanfic too. Non-canonical stories.

[hazy helm]

do not see the stalker modding community has a single tree that has all of these under itself
it is a tree in a forest
all of them with different branches
they had a origin,but they are all individual trees with their own right to live free and unbothered

there is no reigning tree
they are just that,different

like I said

[pale pivot]

anomaly is fanfic turned video game

[hazy helm]

in the west,99% of mods are just attachements,modules you take in and take out,and so this mentality that a mod is nothing more than a attachement of the game its made for was created
but the east has many many whole mods that offer completely new experiences and stand on their own, being different from their origin point, and not relating to it, mods can be anything especially smth completely different from the starting point,in which case they are no longer the starting point,they are their own being

the only community that breaks the stereotype in the west I see is p much the HL community

[thorn portal]

If you would allow me to repeat my self for what i belive is the 20th time,no i do not belive they are the same in every regard,my main point is that they still fall under the same franchise.Yet again youre saying somehting not even related to the disscusion,youre going on on your own tangent on how modded games should be regarded.I swear to god you people are pretending like im saying that Forza and Metal Gear Solid are the carbon copies of one another.

[hazy helm]

whose creations are akin to closed off and self imposed games

[thorn portal]

Please stop missrepresenting what im saying.It is quite annoying to have to correct you ever time you write something.

[pale pivot]

nobody thinks that u think they are exactly the same jesus. what we're arguing is that u think they are part of the stalker franchise like they were made by GSC or endorsed by GSC as canoc lmao

[hazy helm]

if you would like me to repeat myself for the 20th time
they arent,I have present my points sufficiently as to why this is and I dont think you even read them
Anomaly isnt Stalker,nor is Stalker Anomaly
sayign it is is toxic to the entire modding enviroment itself by denying mods the individuality their creativity deserves

[pseudo gazelle]

But you can say my modded bromance still falls under your point then, right?

[thorn portal]

No i do not.Next!

[hazy helm]

I am not representing your points

your points are just extremely fucking dumb

[sand fiber]

the lines on what counts as in/out franchise are blurry, but Anomaly has crossed it for sure
besides same character names and locations it has NOTHING to do with stalker

[thorn portal]

I read it and i am baffled as to how you think half of what you say even corrilates to what i am saying.

[ionic cargo]

🍿

[hazy helm]

I am sorry

[hazy helm]

it directly does?
everything I have just said proves how completely different it is from the main game
it is not Stalker,it is not even in the same franchise,its something different

[silver pagoda]

[hazy helm]

if you want I can ctrl + v ctrl + c

[thorn portal]

Youre speaking about modding enviroment and individuality because i somehow even refferenced those things?

[pale pivot]

I bet u if stalker anomaly rebranded to just anomaly most of these stupid ass claims would stop

[thorn portal]

Sure.Its a minecraft RP server.

[hazy helm]

you are directly denying the individuality of a mod bc you want it to be perceived that it is in the same franchise as stalker

its not

[thorn portal]

Nope,you are saying that,please quote me when i said that or even talked about individuality of mods.

[pale pivot]

omg guys stalcraft is part of the stalker experience

[sand fiber]

oh btw great point

[gaunt burrow]

Anomaly trying not to be a conversation subject in this chat challenge (Impossible Difficulty)

[thorn portal]

Litteraly

[pale pivot]

failed

[hazy helm]

you literally said that

[thorn portal]

What?

[hazy helm]

Im saying YOU are denying its individuality

by trying to wrap that it is necessarily inside the franchise

its not

[thorn portal]

Oh,well im sowwy you think that way,unfourtunatley for us youre not the end all be all of who thinks what,soooo try again.

[pale pivot]

stalker anomaly is AT MOST a stalker themed spin off

[hazy helm]

why am I the one protecting anomaly?I dont even like it

[thorn portal]

Mate youre going a tottaly diffrent direction to what i was talking.Youre talking about mod individuality.

[hazy helm]

it is irrelevant to bring up the point that this is just my opinion
yes it is
that is what discussions are for,one side discusses his opinion,and the other discusses his
it is irrelevant to clarify this

[hazy helm]

you are talking the same thing by forcing that Anomaly is Stalker when its not

you are ripping its individuality by making it just a stalekr mod

[thorn portal]

And i am in no way in debt to constantly explain to you that that is not what i am saying

[hazy helm]

it is a creation entirely unto its own

[pale pivot]

they overlap in this convo tho. u are arguing that stalker anomaly should be grouped up with the actual stalker games and vasim is arguing that stalker anomaly is its own thing seperate from actual stalker

[thorn portal]

Nope.Thats how much track both of you have lost since i have started this convo

[hazy helm]

I dont understand whats so hard to understand in my own arguments,they are quite easy to understand as Im not very smart myself

[pseudo gazelle]

I think this is basically the whole topic at hand, just more understandable and condensed.

[pale pivot]

ok then please remind us what ur point is since u keep hopping around like a bunny

[thorn portal]

Thanks father,may i now?

[pale pivot]

what is the point ur trying to make

[hazy helm]

"I AM NOT CLAIMING IT IS QUITE LITTERALY THE SAME,BUT IT IS BASED OFF AND BORROWS ALMSOT EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE OG STALKER GAMES,THEREFORE IT FALLS WITHIN THE SAME FRANCHISE AND GAME SECTION."
#⭐┃nospoilers_general message
these are your words
you are literally saying that anomaly should be considered as a game in the franchise

it should be considered as a individual creation

[pale pivot]

lmao bro keeps switching up his points and blaming us that we don't understand what he's saying

[thorn portal]

Alrighty here i am i went to throw some orphans into woodchipers

[pseudo gazelle]

Oh sweet, hold up, lemme replace the mesh for General Voronin to be... aha! Sexy and curvy anime girl Voronin! I changed nothing else in the game. So, I can call this part of the Stalker franchise and, as it is part of the same "game section", canon and official!

[pale pivot]

[pseudo gazelle]

Duty recruitment is gonna be through the roof!

[pale pivot]

YEAAAAA

listen bra, enjoy anomaly, enjoy gamma, enjoy whatever stalker total conversion mod. just dont call them stalker games in which they are not

[thorn portal]

What my original point pertained to is the gatekeeping of who and what a stalker fan is,saying that someone is not a stalker fan because he preffers anomaly over the OGs is not necessarily correct.Because in many ways the games are similar and keep with the same theme and lore.As to how @hazy helm managed to spin this into game individuality is beyond me.

Let me finish im not done

Por favor there is 2 of you i cant write that fast!

[pseudo gazelle]

Boy, you should had finished everything in one go before posting.

[thorn portal]

Anyways

[hazy helm]

the argument is how Anomaly is not Stalker
that is what is being written over here
and like I said before,you can live both,but if you dislike Stalker and Like Anomaly,you are not a Stalker fan,you are a Anomaly fan,which I have seen before,in fact

it is very easy to do that

bc they are 2 completely different games

[pale pivot]

they are not mutually exclusive so yea i agree that u can like anomaly and stalker but... saying "i like anomaly and not the stalker trilogy. i am a stalker fan" is flat out wrong

[pseudo gazelle]

[hazy helm]

a melhor forma de parar a conversa seria por admitir a tua perda nao?

[thorn portal]

The reason i bring up franchise and game is because anomaly keeps up with the general sense of what makes a stalker game.Therefore,if you just preffer it over the OG games,you still like the concept of stalker,which in my case constitues as a stalker fan.

[pale pivot]

it does not "keep up with the general 'sense' of what a stalker game is".

[thorn portal]

Sure,but that is a very small minorty of people.

[thorn portal]

How come

[pseudo gazelle]

American pizza is not Italian food.

[pale pivot]

?? a TON of people only like anomaly and dislike/hate the trilogy. they keep yapping about how anomaly and/or gamma are the best ways to play stalker

[hazy helm]

I have only ever seen 2 people
unless those 2 people keep makign shell accounts,I say its a vocal minority

[thorn portal]

If its on a gameplay level,then they just dont like the stalker gameloop.Which is fine,im reffering to a grander picture here,its like how some people in call of duty preffer open maps and some like corridor maps.They are in dissagrement of how the game should be played.Which is fine,they still like the concept of stalker.

[hazy helm]

it isnt tho,Anomaly takes various personal routes to achieve its own vision,that is why its not Stalker, neither should it be expected to be Stalker,bc its not Stalker
its not a carbon copy,neither should it be
many of the things Anomaly does go against Stalker either in Lore or Gameplay focus

bc,Anomaly is Anomaly,it adheres to its own vision

you may like Anomaly more,bc Anomaly has a different vision of what it wants to be

[thorn portal]

Yup,that doesnt mean you arent a stalker fan,you just preffer a diffrent gameplay variation.

[hazy helm]

if you dont like the stalker games,you arent a stalker fan
the only metric for being a fan is liking the original games
that is it

I dont see how this is gatekeepign when it is the most basic barrier

[thorn portal]

The thing that ticks me off so much is how you constantly pretend as if they are inreconcilably diffrent,when in reality they are,as they say in my homeland,"the same dick but in diffrent packaging:.

[hazy helm]

they are completely different

they treat characters differently,their lore is different,their gameplay is different,their settings too

in some aspects

they are not "same dick different ballsack"
it is a different dick

[pale pivot]

we already told u this but.

stalker anomaly emphasizes survival aspects (sleep, food, water, medicine, etc) therefore it is under survival. It also emphasizes fetch quests a ton and the economy is much different which tie into the atmosphere and general feel of the game. The gunplay is a lot different too where it isn't very arcadey like the og stalker games. also it is much more of a sandbox experience than the tailored one we see in the trilogy.

the og stalker games have less emphasis on survival, are much more tailored, have a different economy and different style of quests (which changes the atmosphere significantly), have different more arcadey gunplay, and lastly do not have a sandbox like experience of the trilogy. ALSO, you get to play as a **specific **character that has their **OWN **story in the zone unlike Anomaly.

[thorn portal]

Because a stalker games hasnt released in over a decade,which means some new commers may like the premise but not necesarlly the way it is carried out.

[hazy helm]

if you dont like stalker,thats that,you may like the movie and RSP,doesnt mean you need to like stalker
you can like Anomaly and not like stalker

I dont see what the issue is here

[thorn portal]

It is very hard to debate with 2 people at once,because i reply to one but then the other replies to my reply,poiting out how i didnt addres the thing i didnt even want to addres.

[pale pivot]

go ahead bro

[thorn portal]

I am,it is quite irritating

[pale pivot]

[pale pivot]

forgot to add that anomaly adds in new factions too

[thorn portal]

Yet again,the movie has nothing to do with any of this.Stalker games are old,and many peopel like the premise of them,that why they invent new ways to play it,liking a diffrent way than the ogs doesnt mean you are a stalker fan in a broad sense.

[hazy helm]

liking a different entity to stalker isnt liking stalker,its liking that separate entitiy
I dont see this argument being used anywhere else
its like saying that HL2 is outdated so ppl should play Entropy Zero 2
and,as I have stated before,Anomaly features a varied number of differences and headcannons so no you are not appreciating the same setting or premise,it has been changed

playing anomaly will not give you a experience close to stalker,bc it isnt meant to,neither does it want to
anomaly gives its own experience

[gaunt burrow]

Anomaly is totally canon and cut factions like Sin exist

[hazy helm]

the lore that anomaly features with its Sin and UNISG storylines is fanfiction
Anomaly does not have "accurate" portrayals to the concepts

and Sin isnt in the games

it is not cannon

UNISG is a Anomaly creation and fabrication

[gaunt burrow]

I was kidding but aye. Can agree with that

[pseudo gazelle]

"I like the idea of Italian pizza, but I sure hate tomato sauce. I can replace that with BBQ sauce! Yeah! I'm not a strict Italian food fan, but you could say I like Italian food though."

[pale pivot]

STALCRAFT BEST WAY TO PLAY STALKER IN 2024

[thorn portal]

That argument would work,because you constantly refuse reconcile with the fact that anomaly is a direct mod of CoP,it has a lot in common with the Stalker games,i can understand why it is a diffrent entity to it in a lot of regards,the reason the games age is so important is because people cant just play the same 3 games over and over again,so that why they invent new ways to play it,it like saying that by modding skyrim you are no longer a skyrim fan,which if we are talking about vanilla would work,but in a broader sense you are still a skyrim fan.

[pale pivot]

metro has a ~~lot ~~ in common with stalker, so is it also part of the stalker franchise?

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is not a direct mod of CoP
Anomaly is a CoC mod with an outdated OXR version which is a different engine,OpenXray
it goes like this,CoC was the first,then came CoM,then Last Day then Anomaly
and yes,if you like Enderal and dislike Skyrim,you are not a Skyrim fan
you can also dislike Skyrim and like a Modpack for Skyrim that completely changes the entire game as some do

what you fail to understand

is that Skyrim mods are completely different to what Anomaly is

[thorn portal]

Nope,please point out how metro has anything to do with the noosphere,or really anything else stalker related.

[hazy helm]

like I said before
the big problem with assuming this is taht a mod like Anomaly is not a simple attachement mod like most western mods are,Anomaly is a completely new experience with everything different akin to a game,its still a mod,but most westerners would consider it a fan game

in the east,these are common

the east is more focused on creating whole experiences that work separate to the game in their own rules and their own vision than like how it is in the west which is modules tha a player can put in and take out,that ultimately change little of the actual game

[pale pivot]

the point really flew by ur head. ur trying to go technical in an analogy

[hazy helm]

its like saying Arktwend is like Morrowind,it is completely different

[thorn portal]

Nope,im just not planning on letting you counter everything i said with a nonsensical anectode.

[pale pivot]

but it does make sense. if stalker anomaly had a name change ur whole argument is in shambles

it already is tho

[thorn portal]

Nope,their similarities arent name based.

[hazy helm]

?

[sand fiber]

is skyrim requiem modpack in the same franchise as skyrim
are endless minecraft total conversion mods in the same franchise as minecraft
is Lies of P in the same franchise as Pinnochio the book because it shares characters?

[pale pivot]

the only thing that stalker anomaly and stalker have in comparison is the name, general setting and map, and certain characters making a cameo

[thorn portal]

Im waiting on finishing with @pale pivot because i have no further will power to debate 3 people at once.

[pale pivot]

i gotta go now anyways lol so now u have 2 ppl

[pseudo gazelle]

Lmao

[thorn portal]

Fair enough

[sand fiber]

oh well industrial craft and create also use blocks and uhhh mobs and oh wow all the things from minecraft the base game are there SURELY it must mean it's in the same franchise

[hazy helm]

the "anomaly is satlker" debate wouldnt be solved if it changed name,it would still continue due to the mentality of the west

it is not a name thing

it is a cultural thing

[thorn portal]

But thats just a theory

A Game theory.

[pale pivot]

its mainly due to western youtubers. also stalker is much more popular in the east so its adhered to better there. not a western mentality problem

alr i actually gtg now

[thorn portal]

Later on stalker.

Good hunting or whatever the PG aprooved headcanoon bald guy said.

[hazy helm]

where did Western youtubers get the idea from?ho right,the culture surrounding modding in the west!

it is a cultural thing

[pseudo gazelle]

Hey man, there's an Anomaly Discord server if you wanna join that. You'll probably find people who will agree with you without any elaboration.

[hazy helm]

not a "they did this,and they are against us"

[sand fiber]

Wouldn't agree tbh, it's not a western/eastern thing, rather it differs at a game-per-game basis

[thorn portal]

Im pretty sure hes gone now @hazy helm

Yup,im waiting for you volks to order your selfres so i know what to actually reply to

Gimme a minute here.

[thorn portal]

i assume this is where we left off?

[hazy helm]

the entire reply line p much

[sand fiber]

!!! THE CREATURE IS FREE !!!

[thorn portal]

Ok im pretty sure im debating 1 person now so this should actually work

Here let me type out my brain anyerism here.

[pale pivot]

alr IM BACCCCKKKK

2v1 les gooooooo

[pale pivot]

itll never be free

[pale pivot]

its not really. its just specific to stalker since that isnt a western title. also people like klean and op drewski tainted the image that anomaly is the best way to experience stalker and what not

people in the west have a harder time understanding stalker

[pseudo gazelle]

Like Americans touting their own pizza as the best way to enjoy pizza?

[thorn portal]

I understand why youre poiting out how its a diffrent entity,it is in a lot of ways,the reason why i belive you still count as a stalker fan is because even though a lot is changed in anomaly,it is still almost exclusevly inspired by the stalker series,the same premise,nearly all factions,anomalies yadda yadda... but in its essence it is still carries with it self the fact that its a stalker inspired game.If they wanted anomaly to be something entirely diffrent,then they wouldnt stick the "stalker" at the front of it.It is wrong and very missrepresenting of what anomaly is to completley deny its correlation to the original games,hence the reason i still count anomaly fans as stalker enjoyers,not necesseraly hating on the trilogy,but just preffering anomaly.

[pale pivot]

also the stalker games get massively overshadowed by anomaly and gamma and thus most people think of anomaly and gamma before the actual stalker games whenever stalker is brought up sadly. ik this cus my friends are part of that group sadly

[thorn portal]

I think people should play the trilogy before anomaly,im pretty sure that the way they even meant for it to be played.

Thats mainly the issue with the fact people havent gotten a sequel in over a decade

[pale pivot]

food is a lot more subjective tbh. i like detroit style pizza more than traditional italian style or whatever

[thorn portal]

TBH i just preffer raw sewage.

[pseudo gazelle]

I like my tavern style pizza. We can both say it's not Italian and cannot ever claim it is, and we can also agree deep dish pizza stinks badly.

[pale pivot]

that is also a big factor as to why so many ppl play anomaly/gamma over trilogy stalker

[sand fiber]

yes you're an anomaly player

[thorn portal]

Exactly!

[hazy helm]

yes,anomaly still uses the same core setting but with many of its own changes and homebrew ideas,making it its own vision and its own creation
sure it uses many stuff from the stalker games but no one can deny that Anomaly is something completely different and should be regarded as such
mods like AlternativA,despite being on the same premise and fations and stuff,still is not stalker and wouldnt be regarded as such due to how starkly different and unique to its own vision it is
prefering anomaly to stalker is fine,its like prefering fallout to stalker,they are different entities,nothing more nothing less,at the end of the day,the only gate you need to hurdle is the most basic one,like the stalker games?youre a fan

[pale pivot]

i have a hard time differentiating different style of pizzas so to me a pizza is a pizza no matter what type lol. as long as it tastes good and doesnt break the bank

[pseudo gazelle]

Bro go to their Discord server. Unless you like debating for hours for no real reason. I'm doubtful you'll change anyone's mind here.

[pseudo gazelle]

🍍🍍🍍

[pale pivot]

ew

[pseudo gazelle]

Okay good, I can still trust you.

Anomaly is like the pineapple pizza of Stalker.

[pseudo gazelle]

So, like, you can bring pineapple pizza to Italy, sure. And you can like it and call it how you want. But if you gonna show it to native Italians in Italy, they are gonna call your food trash and tell you to go back to America.

This is a metaphor perhaps you should take. You're not gonna get much agreement here as compared to the Anomaly server.

[thorn portal]

Why do you feel the need to constantly make anectodes with diffrent games?Please stop i explained like 10 times as to how this doesnt make any sense as to what i am saying.I understand your point as to how they are diffrent,but you cant just brashly label them as "completley diffrent"if they wanted to be that,they wouldnt even names themselves as stalker.Stalker stand alone games borrow excusively from stalker,in the absoloute majority of cases,henceforth,they carry what the stalker series is portraying in their own way,so therefore, if you dont preffer the originals,that just means you have a personally better way to experiance what stalker is,not that you dont like "stalker"in a broad sense.Not liking the trilogy means you dont like the trilogy,not STALKER,as a premise.

[pseudo gazelle]

"I get tired of the usual authentic Italian toppings, so imma add pineapple," will not sit well. You can say you still enjoy authentic Italian pizza, but to say pineapple pizza is still authentic in a sense will get you flogged by the whole country.

[thorn portal]

Anyways i gtg now,im sure this thread will fester into something great when i return!

Besides my lowhandes insults and migrane i now posses,i enjoyed this convo and count my self as enlightened.

[hazy helm]

the only way to experience what stalker is is by playing stalker not playing something with its own vision,that is tangential to stalker,is my basic point
I use different games to make my point stronger,to anybody that has played alternativa they will know what Im talking about,as alternativa is very strange while still using stalker
byu your logic,this would be just another way to experience stalker,but not even you would agree if you knew what alternativa was

[pale pivot]

it still tastes good to some people. u cant argue with that. to some, it tastes better than traditional. to me it doesn't taste that good so i avoid it but its bc of the taste not bc of some old italian fart will get offended

[rancid kestrel]

What type of protection do i need to be able to go to the brain scorcher (shadow of chernobyl)

[analog charm]

Is anyone able to tell me where to find the dead stalkers stash right before the bridge in cordon (SoC based)

[thorn portal]

If you want we can continue this in dms,im gonna play mc now and this will be buried by the time i come back

[analog charm]

I checked and and down in the mill and found nothing

Theres another guy dead in the barn tho

[pale pivot]

worrying abt who will get offended about what will have u constantly worrying abt what to do

I see we've reached an understanding.

Also I find it funny how only English and Spanish uses Pineapple/Piña while everyone else (Deutsch auch!) uses ananas.

I'll Pm you when i get there

[thorn portal]

I have returned from deforesting trees in minecraft

i shall now dismantle your point with utter precision

NUH UH

[thorn portal]

Mentioning other games doesnt strenghten your point its just useless anectodes.As for AlternativA i do not know what it is,but saying that anomaly has some sort of "vision" diffrent than the source material it is quite literally made out of is a gross exageration of what it is.It is diffrent but not even close to the extent you pretend it is,hence why you use other games in your anectodes,knowing full well i am not refferencing any other franchise.And also no i never said you shouldnt play the trilogy,i infact everyone should play the trilogy before any other standalones,what i am arguing about is that beliving that someone is not "a true stalker fan" because he preffers a anomaly over the trilogy,not necesarrly despising,but just views anomaly as better.

[hidden stratus]

Guys! New trailer coming out at some point this year!

[thorn portal]

Before the heat death of the universe

[hidden stratus]

Only logical conclusion!

[loud gate]

You're literally contradicting yourself.

[thorn portal]

Please enlgithen me how so

[loud gate]

You say that having Anomaly having a different vision is an exaggeration, yet you say the vision is different.

[thorn portal]

You cant read.

"It is diffrent but not even close to the extent you pretend it"

[ionic cargo]

Bruh you guys are still on about this?

[thorn portal]

Yup

Im bored

[hidden stratus]

What was the convereation about?

[ionic cargo]

[loud gate]

Ok, so you agree the vision is different.

So how is it an exaggeration saying the vision is different?

[pale pivot]

we all agree that liking anomaly more than the stalker trilogy is alright. we also agree that as long as you played the trilogy and like them, then you are a fan of stalker. what we disagree on is how people who dont like the trilogy but do like anomaly or conversion mods for stalker are not stalker fans. they are merely fans of those standalone experiences

[thorn portal]

I cant really put into words,in short they belive that anomaly is very diffrent from stalker,to the point it almost isnt stalker,and i belive it is rather similar to stalker.

[thorn portal]

Fair

[loud gate]

Because it is

[pale pivot]

i think what he's trying to say is that anomaly has a different vision but it is not as different as some put it

[thorn portal]

You cant read,i cant really do it for you mate.

[thorn portal]

No no let him figure it out,language is a beautifull thing.

Ooo several people are typing, this one is gonna be juicy

[pseudo gazelle]

I thought we were done with this debate, geez.

[ionic cargo]

[loud gate]

You say "it's an exaggeration to say the vision is different", then you say that it is actually different.

[hazy helm]

AlternativA is completely relevant since it serves as a paralel to what is being discussed here
AlternativA is a mod for SoC,with new stories for each faction and it is very unique shall we say
I have yet to find a mod wherein at least one of the missions force you to kill yourself so you can go to a puzzle universe and find a rare artifact
the Vision taht Anomaly has is different yes,bc Stalker was never meant to be freeplay,and the quests and new factions it has invariably change everything about it,if you prefer Anomaly over Stalker,I dont care,what Im talking about is that the only metric that should count towards making you a fan is wether or not you like the actual stalker games

[pale pivot]

anomaly will always be similar to stalker on a surface level look. but once you get to understand what the two different sides offer, then you realize that they are pretty different

[hidden stratus]

I agree with both statements, it is nothing like stalker; it is tarkov reskinned and modded to be like stalker (because to my knowledge the mod uses animations and assets from the game) . And it is also like stalker because that was the intention of the mod. To bring the many mechanics and environments of tarkov into a old and well respected series for fresh, new gameplay the series has not seen as of now

[hazy helm]

it would be weird to say that you dislike CoD but you are a fan

[thorn portal]

I ask for 5 minute allocated reading time

Because 3 of you wrote at the same time

[loud gate]

Well, that makes sense.

Im playing robocop so itll take a wghile for me too

[thorn portal]

I wasnt aware robocop had a game

[loud gate]

Hey, basim. Can I DM you a Tech Support Question?

[hazy helm]

as long as its not a tech support question

[pale pivot]

so uhh, how do i play game on computer?

[ionic cargo]

Install system32

[hazy helm]

delete system32

[thorn portal]

Open command prompt with administrator and type del/system32

[hazy helm]

and download more ram

[pale pivot]

ok thank👍

[thorn portal]

Take up too much space

[hidden stratus]

trying to figure that out myself, only a couple weeks ago i found out you can move in games using wasd

[pale pivot]

no way that true

[ionic cargo]

Also uninstall windows defender and download McAfee

[pale pivot]

McDonalds?

[hidden stratus]

dont knoq what the other button on my keyboard do

[pale pivot]

i think they kosmetick

[ionic cargo]

McDonaldafee

[loud gate]

It's like playing Minecraft with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Textures. Does it make it S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? lol

[thorn portal]

I cant really debate you on AlternativA because i never played it, i might tho idk.I agree it is diffrent but it is not nearly to the extend you seem to belive it is,it is still rather close to the authentic stalker experiance,view my replies to @pale pivot for the full picture

[pale pivot]

stalcraft

[remote egret]

is there a stalker clear sky coop mod

[hazy helm]

I only bring up AlternativA bc its a good sideways look at the thing
AlternativA uses the same setting,its still the zone,its still the same factions,but youd hardly get the same experience,since one of the first missions is literally going to sleep only to wake up in a horror nightmare world
and later on you will be in a Sillent Hill 2 map fighting Silent Hill bloody nurses

[remote egret]

my friends and i will finish stalker soc coop and we want another coop game

[thorn portal]

Yes,but not quite as some people belive it is,to the point it is incompatible with the stalker genre.

[remote egret]

is there any stalker game thats coop except soc

[thorn portal]

Imma try to play it if the brain rot doesnt consume me

[hazy helm]

sure,it uses the same setting,it has the same familiar faces,it even has many of the base mechanics and is made from stalker,but everyone with a right mind will tell you,it cant be considered stalker or even close

[thorn portal]

Fire girl and water boy

[hazy helm]

😔 even the strongest get brain rot with these masterpieces
the strong and weakpoint of any Eastern Schizzo mod is that they are so fun to play and experince but so esoteric to figure out

its a real trip

[thorn portal]

Seems easy to install,if it wasnt for my 550 kb/s net speed

Its litteralt install and paly lol

[hazy helm]

its standalone

yes

[thorn portal]

After i tire from gamma imma give it a spin

[hazy helm]

most mods are like taht nowadays

[thorn portal]

Yes because people cant actually mod games without corrupting system files or some shit

[hazy helm]

you can still mod games old fashioned way

its remarkably easy

its all contained in the gamedata folder unless the mod modifies bin files

[thorn portal]

Yes its litteraly drag and dro

But it doesnt have the advantages of MO2

[loud gate]

somebody say MO2 🤮

[thorn portal]

Whats the problem with MO2?Its one of the better methods of modding stalker

[loud gate]

I like suffering

[thorn portal]

I used to until i kinda got tired of reinstalling base anomaly files because i accidentaly but the wrong mod first

[loud gate]

Have backups

[thorn portal]

I do

Still annoying

Also good luck organising 100s of mods manually.

[hazy helm]

the advantages of MO2 are non present when modding stalker as modding stalker entails downloading and applying at maximum 3-4 mods

and normally 1 mod

[loud gate]

Don't think I play modpacks except for Dark Signal

[thorn portal]

What?1 or 2?I can also say addons if you prefer that.

[hazy helm]

sure,MO2 is good for Bethesda like games
but as Ive said before,Stalker mods work like complete packages usually,you get one,maybe you get a patch or a specific mod for that one
but you will never make a 100 page modlist for stalker

[thorn portal]

Anomaly??

[hazy helm]

I said stalker

Anomaly is detached

[gaunt burrow]

[thorn portal]

I imagine you speaking in a fixed nerd voice

[hazy helm]

not only bc of the earlier conversation but because anomaly is well an anomaly in stalker modding

anomly is not the benchmark

[loud gate]

You'd be surprised to hear Basim's warrior voice

[thorn portal]

I suppose id combust prematurley

[hazy helm]

not every game mod nor does stalker have the modding capacity for taht many
if you want to make a lenghty modlist,you will need to learn how to manually merge

which,not many do nor want to go thru the toruble

[loud gate]

You'd die of cringe or commit suicide

[hazy helm]

which is why repacks are a thing

and repacks become entirely their own thing

you dont download a modlist,you download MOTZ,which is a repack with its own branding and vision basically

[thorn portal]

Does your penis enlarge it self when you try to sound smart or are you just doing this for funsies?

[hazy helm]

you need to make a distinction bc Modding Anomaly is so completely different to modding any other thing inside the Stalker modding scene or Stalker games

thus

MO2 is good for anomaly
that is about it

maybe youll find use for other CoC based mods

but that is limited

[loud gate]

I don't think you'd want to say that, Basim is probably one of the most knowledgeable Mod guys

[thorn portal]

Yes but hes being quite nerdy with the fact i forgot to slap anomaly in front of stalker

[loud gate]

He has a point.

[gaunt burrow]

+1

[thorn portal]

Yes,im not arguing with the point my issue is how he could have just corrected me,not give me a 12 hour modding games 101 for dum dums

[hazy helm]

look Im separating both because Anomaly is the outlier,its unique in how you mod it,even old CoC you would only add 5-10 mods,20 maximum

now you see 1001 mods in a anomaly modlist

like a bethesda game

you see where Im going to

[untold karma]

hello

[thorn portal]

Yes,anything else youd like to enligthen me on?I hear the migration habits of kolechian fowls is quite intresting.

[gaunt burrow]

Hi

[untold karma]

howre you br

[gaunt burrow]

Doing good thanks. How about you?

[hazy helm]

but regardless,the main reason for this is that Stalker has no priority system on what files are overwritten
you have the files,that is it,so if 2 mods make changes to the same file,unless they are said to expressively work together they wont
bc they are overwritting each other

[untold karma]

im fine thanks bro

[thorn portal]

Wow youre not letting this one go are you?

[hazy helm]

most games that work with the mentality that ppl will mod them will set up a priority system

[thorn portal]

Im sowwwwy for my assumptiont that he meant anomalyyy, wont happen again papi i admit defeat :3

[hazy helm]

I like talking about the technical side,this means that if you want to mod a game,you will have an idea where to start

if you have 2 mods you want to merge,look at the files taht are the same and the stuff written in them

try to separate these 2 and make sure nothing is overwritten

[thorn portal]

I appreciate your fondness for the technical side im just not quite sure as to why youre telling me this.

[hazy helm]

eveybody comes out better if they know more about the things they like

[thorn portal]

Not trying to pull a "didnt ask" but i think i made it quite clear i am not in need of lecturing

[hazy helm]

you should strive to know more at every turn

and what Im saying will help you when modding

especially

knowing how mods work and how patches work will help you troubleshoot them

[thorn portal]

Did you know that using a fork on a teflon frying pan wil ruin the coating?

When shaving with a DE razor it is very important that you master the angle at which you hold it.

In order to set a DE razor in a straight razor you can use the packaging to fold the DE razor to break it half safely!

It is generally not recommended that one consumes yellow snow

[hazy helm]

anyway,bottomline is,usually for mods that arent anomaly,you will download a drop and play mod and its patches

[thorn portal]

Wowzers really?

[hazy helm]

either a very specific flavour mod that changes the 1 thing about the mod and thats it

[thorn portal]

My frontal lobe has enlraged it self by a solid 20 centimeters

I cant open my front door for my forehead is in the way

Anyways thats about it,later on.

[hazy helm]

if you want any help with modding stalker or stalker troubleshooting in general,dont be afraid to ask

[thorn portal]

oh and also to end on a good note i did specify anomaly "I used to until i kinda got tired of reinstalling base anomaly files because i accidentaly but the wrong mod first"

So all of what you said is cool and all,but doesnt pertain to me ._.

[hazy helm]

all that I said how mods and gamedata folders operate still applies to anomaly

if you ever want to do a merge,try that

may be helpful in the future who knows

[thorn portal]

Sure.

[stable bobcat]

Hey bro

Do u know why the charging between Zone and Zone last so long in AA2?

And cop

[stable bobcat]

In SOC doesnt appear that

Oh soc

Maybe it's on on your main drive C/

When I download games on external hard disks, games load so slow

[stable bobcat]

It's installed on drive C/

The only hard disk is that, where the game was installed

[sudden laurel]

I just got out of X16 but the map is still marked telling me to "Get inside X16" is that just a bug or did i miss something?

[sudden laurel]

Yeah I did. All missions completed, but its still marked

[broken latch]

Just go to the scientist in the bunker

And then to barman

If nothing changes

They do. They just hide it.

C'mon, keep bothering them!

[toxic vector]

the original stalker word comes from the first game name S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers and Robbers.

in real life, it's a bad word to men

[analog charm]

It's in the visual options

[analog charm]

yeah but im SoC I had to update to beta branch for it to actually work

[hazy helm]

Shouldn't be a problem in CS

CS is the prettiest of the series since it is the one they spent the most time updating the visual libraries for

CoP cut many visual features from CS
