And also because it looks better than STALKER,which sounds like the name of a totally original not overdone indie horror game.

Very original joke on this discord i know

[spare trail]

There are certain checkpoints in game where we can come back and take things and go again like rookie camp or bar or army warehouse. Is there such things in red forest?

[thorn portal]

You mean saves?

[thorn portal]

Im very confused as to what you mean by this,can you try to re word it?I think what youre reffering to is automatic saves?

[spare trail]

there are certain places with chests

where i can store all the things and i can go back to that place

there is a chest in bar and at army checkpoint so if i enter red forest, are there chests where i can store my things?

like a safehouse

[thorn portal]

Oooh you mean like stashes?Yes there are stashes in the red forest,but not nearly as easily seen like in the bar,every stash can be used to store stuff,you just need to find it,but no there is no dedicated safe space to rest and store your stuff in.

In short,you can place your items in any stash you want an theyll be there when you come back,but there is no dedicated safe space in the red forest.

[spare trail]

so in short army checkpoint is last safe place to store things

[thorn portal]

Yes.

[hazy helm]

a PR guy said that it was an acronym in a magazine reporting SOC,with the scavangers etc thing too
So it's p much set in stone since then
Which is a pity,there were other things that seemed better

[thorn portal]

I think the fact it looks cool is plenty,it being an acronym is nonsensical beceause it coencides with like 2 factions in the entire game.

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

It is what it is

I think the name Stalker without the dots would be better anyway

[thorn portal]

You mean as in stylisation?

[hazy helm]

as in,the actual name

its a lot more convenient and less dumb for it to be simple Stalker

[finite dragon]

I wish yall a good day be well

big fan you scar , keep it real g

[finite dragon]

Thanks, it's an honor for me

[gaunt burrow]

Scar is a real G 💯

[gaunt burrow]

Blue stahes are ok

by putting your items in blue stashes/boxes there's 100% guarantee that they'll always remain there

[thorn portal]

Well thats why people just call it stalker,but as in the actual tittle i honestly prefer S.T.A.L.K.E.R , idk how to describe it it just feels right.Also looks cooler i guess lmao

Its up to personal prefference.

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

Deg is alright, but tbh I have more connection with Scar

Afterall Clear Sky was first Stalker game I've played

My first release?

A Man Called Krezzin - 100% Not Dissin U (The Zone) (Garage Mix)

I wish I could do music I would have done STALKER bangers, I have ideas, no expertise

[keen rune]

We need a visual video to catch people's attention, y'know how Ice Spice has no music taste but the only reason people watch her is because she shakes her arse, what's your visual take? What's going to catch the viewer's attention?

Are you willing to suffer anomaly damage for view counts?

Perhaps Sir Rahmi can help with that

[worn oar]

Bandits twirking and bloodsuckers sucking

[solid dome]

I will do Ice Spice clone with AI with big hooters

Ok now we need the setting, obv it's the Zone but anywhere specific? Garbage, Pripyat, P1, the ideas are endless...just don't let it be Lab X18..

You can diss GSC and call em out on that trailer release date

I suggest Krezzin to find some Bloodsuckers to suck and bandits to do questionable money laundering in the Zone all while he raps and anomalies just trap snorks in the background like an Eminem visualizer

[solid dome]

[gaunt burrow]

The Krezzing Effect is too strong

[solid dome]

Noted!

[old jungle]

Picture this: Marked One just disabled the Brain Scorcher and is coming back to the intersection. As usual, the Duty and Freedom squads meet there in order to move into Pripyat. However, they decided to solve the conflict with a rap battle 🔥

[gaunt burrow]

[loud gate]

Alohaaaa

[keen rune]

This gives a whole new meaning to "Sing so your dreams come true"

[old jungle]

The problem is that I know nothing in music so I can't make it into a video

whoever got the drip, gets the road to pripyat

[keen rune]

But instead of singing for a miracle, your're saving from agonizing pain

[gaunt burrow]

Stalker but instead of gunfights there are constantly rap battles

[keen rune]

@solid dome Are you going to have women dancing in the background for the viewer's attention? This is what most rappers have these days

[old jungle]

he will have to use whatever is available in the Zone

[solid dome]

Yeah but they will be men dressed like women, with hoodies on so you can't really notice

[gaunt burrow]

[solid dome]

Have to stick to the LGBTQ rule!!!

[old jungle]

Hey Mozi, how are you?

So what you're saying is euthanizing a poor bandit and placing a neck bomb on him and tell him "if you don't dance the way I want you to, say cheeki breeki to your head"

Krezzin the fool
Lost in his soul
He's tryinna be cool,

No it sounds naughty

You asked me about when the new trailer will appear, remember?
Its a bare clip, a damn clip...
They decided to throw us a 30 second breath window after so long?
Are they playing with us, do they take us for complete fools?
Mr. M and I were discussing when they change their behavior
But we aren't quite sure it can ever happen, sadly
Maybe you can figure out why they be so stubborn every time?
It reminded me we used to have a trailer in December, at 10 PM EET
I went on to believe Q1 2024 could be the last time... and my whole world
plunged into darkness
I'm sorry, fellas, I have to lay it on you...
Q1 2024 IS NO MORE, I REPEAT, NO MORE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Today was the day GSC blew another trust emitter
I felt as if I was awakening from years long Pachinko game
Sweaty, unaware what happens, through the monitor, I saw that
the show goes on for 8 more months, perhaps even more...
We have two simple choices!
We sit back and wait for a super delay to occur
Or go on and leak the latest build
Only I... I didn't pre-order....
Unlike you....

[finite dragon]

maybe if u sing it in NF style

@hidden stratus You think we will be branded a new trailer soon-ish?

[thorn portal]

For it to become GOTY it needs to be another watered down AAA,hopefully it doesnt do that,because the mainstream gaming audiance only listens to what the "game reviewers" tell them.I just hope they dont make a Chernobly far cry.

[solid dome]

Susena Kobasica... You selling sausages?

[thorn portal]

Nope, i am a sausage,i do not betray my own kin.

The trans-atlantic sausage trade has also ended.

[hidden stratus]

Nope

Not anytime soon by the looks of it

[thorn portal]

I just hope to see more gameplay footage,the last time we got it it made the game feel like call of duty with its shooting,just look at the train hangar shooting sequence,i get that the guy getting domed 2 picoseconds after leaving cover is not prime gameplay trailer footage but gah dayum did they make it look arcadey.

[hidden stratus]

Its always been like that

[solid dome]

Outta here with your fake kobasica if so @thorn portal

[thorn portal]

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A BOOTLEG SAUSAGE TRADER!

[solid dome]

[thorn portal]

Ill have you know my sausages are made of 100% blind dog meat*

[solid dome]

[thorn portal]

Wdym?

[hidden stratus]

The arcade-ness of the series, shoot enemies, move to next location, shoot again. Only with leaning involved.

[thorn portal]

I meant as in the main protagonist taking 0 damage despite running head first into a gaggle of enemies.

[hidden stratus]

Oh that yeah for sure

[thorn portal]

Stalker shootouts are hardly realistic lol,soldiers tanking 12 gauge buckshot to their ribcage is not the most realistic representation xD

[hidden stratus]

But the protagonist on the other side, two bullets and you are out.

[finite dragon]

3 days left

[solid dome]

Not yet Ilamanito

15 mins left till 3 days are left

[loud gate]

What does 'Arcadey' even mean, that's how the games have always been. Fast Paced-ish Shooters.

[gaunt burrow]

Hell yeah!

[thorn portal]

I wrote in a reply to Brandon what i meant.

[loud gate]

Oh, well that's just how trailer material is used

[solid dome]

10 mins into 3 days left to 15.02

Fkkkkkkk yeahhh

[loud gate]

You can see in Bolts and Bullets Skif actually getting shot while moving in front of a bandit.

[thorn portal]

UNBELIVABLE!DAMAGE FROM BULLETS CONFIRMED IN STALKER 2!!11!1!!

[gaunt burrow]

I missread Brandon as Borov

Looks like I'm thinking about stalker too much

[loud gate]

But short trailers alike will not really present a realistic scenario.

[loud gate]

The point was that you can see in bolts and bullets a more accurate representation of the gameplay

[solid dome]

@loud gate 3 DAYS

Ehhh not really.

I'm getting pumped up

[finite dragon]

whats in 3 days

but shadows instead of wet

[finite dragon]

ok i googled shadow drop

so s2 is coming out in three days

[thorn portal]

"Shadow Drop, also known as Stealth Drop, is a term used to refer to games and other media that are released the same day they are announced or released without announcements whatsoever.
" now im even more confused lmao

[thorn portal]

Id sacrifice a living organism for that to happen.

[solid dome]

💯

[loud gate]

@hidden stratus I think it would be realistic to assume we're going to get some news pretty soon, because we are just 7 months away from launch, GSC said there will be a lot more they will show this year, and we already saw they are being more and more active (touring the Demo, 3 game footage videos in just 4 months, and so on)

[loud gate]

Duuuh

[naive quest]

[hidden stratus]

I want to think that but there has been many big opportunities for them to show their progress and we have gotten nothing so far, we are in the second month of this year and last time we got a real trailer was last November

Even if we do end up getting a trailer soon I highly doubt it will be anything but another 1 minute trailer composed of 3 second clips that show little to nothing of whats to come

[misty herald]

I was playing Anomaly and noticed something interesting about the AI

Context: I was paid to kill a Duty member at the Duty Checkpoint in the Garbage. I waited for night to fall then sniped him through the head with one shot, running from one hilltop to another position.

Three Dutyers moved away from the checkpoint while others stayed behind, using headlamps they advanced to where they thought I was, spreading out from a column into a line, scanning from side to side.

When they couldn't find me, they threw grenades to see if it would flush me out of cover

since they didn't get shot at and couldn't find me, they all pulled back to their checkpoint

[loud gate]

What do you mean they had big opportunities, the year barely started lol

It hasn't been even a month since we got new stuff

I expect more frequent stuff, but not every 2 weeks lol

[misty herald]

Also I think maybe you're being a little too impatient matey

[loud gate]

Expecting a trailer every month is just ridiculous lol

I get it maybe in the summer, sure, but now?

[hidden stratus]

I meant as in past events. And yeah obviously the year just started so put two and two together here and assume it has to do with last year

[hidden stratus]

Impatient is definitely not the right word

[nimble cipher]

brandon.5 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[loud gate]

Why show something that isn't quite ready yet?

They will show more when things are ready

[hidden stratus]

Why advertise and lie on something that isn’t quite ready yet?

[loud gate]

what

[hidden stratus]

Do you live under a rock? Do you know how many times the game has been pushed back?

[near token]

So I got a question for the physical bundle stuff if you get the pc version is it a disk or a code because disk drives on computers have been out of commission?

[broken latch]

Steam code

[loud gate]

The game has been pushed back, because it was not ready, the refore they chose not to show much, because it was not ready.

[loud gate]

You get a Steam Code

[near token]

thanks chief

[broken latch]

Why would they give you a cd in 2024

[near token]

I'm paranoid so I question everything

[loud gate]

Well, it would be too much of a hassle really and it wouldn't be worth it anyway.

[broken latch]

Any other questions?

[near token]

That was my main concern about the physical beyond where they ship to and dont

[hidden stratus]

They should of just gave a set release date and wait until they are ready not push it back 10 times and keep losing the trust of the community

[near token]

I'd rather see a push back of a release then to see a buggy mess

[polar dragon]

how do u unlock more slots for artifacts on clear sky?

[broken latch]

Non game Devs wouldn't understand pushbacks

[broken latch]

Armor artifacts uogrades

[loud gate]

No, they had deadlines they wanted to meet, they just couldn't. Then the war started, which eliminated a lot of time that was supposed to be used for development.

[near token]

It's not that hard to understand why

[loud gate]

The first delay was pretty much useless, since GSC couldn't really work on the game that much because they were relocating.

[broken latch]

It is for a lot of people

[hidden stratus]

That sentence went over your head huh?

[near token]

what?

[hidden stratus]

Literally no one here bothered to even read what I said

[near token]

guess so

[hidden stratus]

If are making a product and it is clearly not ready then don’t advertise it and set a date you know you won’t reach.

Simple

But people will still say “I’d rather a push back over a buggy mess” for the 10th time

[loud gate]

Know what's also simple? GSC was making progress, they had the deadline they were sure they could reach, they announced it. Then things didn't work out, and a delat was needed.

[loud gate]

Because it's true.

[hidden stratus]

Once again everything went over your head didn’t it, you can’t see my point

[loud gate]

Your point is 'don't announce it and advertise it if it's not ready'

Yet they thought it was ready, but things later didn't work out for them, it's that simple

[hidden stratus]

Didnt work out for them would be a understatement. They knew what was going on

[loud gate]

Ofc, they were aware months prior to release, not at the moment they announced it.

[misty herald]

Holy moly

[hidden stratus]

Some people are so numb to think for themselves that they think “final release date” means it will come out this year.

[misty herald]

You get that the country the developers live in have like

The funny gas mask depression game will be out when it's out. We've seen plenty of bloody trailers.

[loud gate]

Whatever floats your boat. Guess I just don't see the point, do I?

[hidden stratus]

It always comes back to that, the war.

[near token]

Man calm down and just go back to the depressing hole you came out of

[hidden stratus]

You are literally started this, tagged me.

[near token]

come on we get you don't like the push back of the release

[misty herald]

Shit happens.

[near token]

whatever have a great day

[misty herald]

This all sounds extremely entitled

[near token]

[hidden stratus]

From who

[broken latch]

@near token do you know vampire NPC?

[loud gate]

Guys, chill. It's not like development is hard, and half of the development team is in ukraine which is an active warzone at the moment, and GSC spent more than half a year just to relocate some of its staff to Prague, no...

GSC just lies and lies, they will never release the game

Delays, truly a concept unknown and only done by scam companies and such

[misty herald]

Yeah man it's super easy to develop an open world shooter sim game with bombs and mortars dropping on your lap

[near token]

uh no sorry I know very little I only played a comunity mod that was a combo of all the games thing and had a hard time so stalker 2 would be my true first experince of stalker

[hidden stratus]

Neither of you can leave it alone can you?

I know better than to respond to someone with that pfp odin

[broken latch]

@hidden stratus do you know vampire npc?

[narrow tartan]

https://www.gotoquiz.com/what_s_t_a_l_k_e_r_faction_are_you_1 I made a What STALKER Faction Are You quiz if anyone wants to check it out.

[hidden stratus]

Huh? What? No i dont

[broken latch]

I really suggest you try out the original trilogy, as the mods don't offer quite the same experience as the original

[near token]

[near token]

I think it was called anomaly

[broken latch]

@gaunt burrow do you know vampire NPC?

[broken latch]

You're going to the deepest roots of hell

[near token]

damn why

[broken latch]

We hate anomaly here

And even more gamma

[near token]

whys that

I was suggested it by a stalker fan

so I took their word

[broken latch]

Because of how YouTubers promote it, it's gameplay, and it's community

[loud gate]

[near token]

oh I mean it confused me hard

so I didnt enjoy it too much

maybe I should try out the originals

I was just suggested to play it by a friend who played the games

[finite dragon]

anomaly is the best original

[broken latch]

Shadow of Chernobyl and clear sky have tutorials, call of Pripyat doesn't, just kind of expects you to know stuff

[misty herald]

Okay so a lot of people here are hysterical children that project their own ridiculous histrionics on everyone else

[broken latch]

You literally talk about anomaly as if it's cannon

[narrow tartan]

w h A T

[loud gate]

Oh, bet your arse you should

[loud gate]

Who does that, who is the criminal

[broken latch]

He does

[misty herald]

Anomaly is fine but you should play the original 3 games because they have a much tighter story and get a better grasp of the story and world of STALKER

[finite dragon]

Anomaly is the prequel to SoC and the sequel to Hert of Charnobyl

[sand fiber]

because it's not stalker

[loud gate]

Get the Toz, we're going hunting

[sand fiber]

True!

[misty herald]

I don't. Addeicy is a gigantic baby that treats this all like a sanctified religion.

[near token]

so much

[narrow tartan]

Anomaly isn't even canon. And is also in 2018, long after the events of the OG trilogy.

[broken latch]

I'm getting vova vistas pkm

[near token]

which is the first

[loud gate]

Nah, nothing can save you rn

[finite dragon]

If you play Anomaly after HoC but before SoC it's canon

[loud gate]

You're doomed

[sand fiber]

Shadow of Chernobyl > Clear Sky > Call of Pripyat

[broken latch]

So by that logic stalker 2 won't be cannon because it's released so long after call of Pripyat?

[misty herald]

Shadow of Chernobyl is the first and out of the Trilogy is probably my faovurite, then Clear Sky (the unpopular middle child), then there's Call of Pripyat which is....alright but also incredibly pretty

[loud gate]

Thought oblivion lost is the first, but anyway.

[narrow tartan]

No, in the lore.

[sand fiber]

what

[misty herald]

SoC is where I started all the way back in like 2010

[loud gate]

[misty herald]

It's rough with you but once you get into the swing of things you'll take off and be fine

[sand fiber]

it is a religion, why do you think we call them buildmasons

[misty herald]

Shotguns for mutants, rifles for people, avoid the squiggly or glowing pockets of air

[sand fiber]

people have DIED for you to play the games

[broken latch]

If Anomaly didn't include Mercenaries, you wouldn't even like them

[near token]

alright thanks guys I'll be sure to atleast check out the first

[sand fiber]

it's true you can fact check it

[loud gate]

I ain't sure how you can like Mercs in general, but hey

Literally the most boring faction ever.

[broken latch]

Because he's an average anomaly fan

[misty herald]

If you have any problems feel free to ask. Baseline SOC and the Trilogy games are EXTREMELY different from Anomaly

[finite dragon]

There would be no triology without anomaly

[loud gate]

Not even Anomaly makes them fun lol

[broken latch]

@finite dragon I hate you

[loud gate]

There wouldn't be any S2 without anomaly

[near token]

so can I choose my faction in shadow of Chernobyl like anom

[broken latch]

Kind of

[misty herald]

No, you start out as a Loner

[near token]

[misty herald]

But you can choose which faction to align with later

[finite dragon]

its such a boring debate at this point who cares, anomaly sucks, people should play the originals and then if they like anomaly god bless

[narrow tartan]

You can only join Freedom, which was left in from development.

[loud gate]

You play as a loner and youll remain that way, however you can choose factions in Clear Sky.

[misty herald]

Couldn't you choose who to help out in the Army Warehouses?

[sand fiber]

no, you can align with/join freedom with a bug, but it's not intended
Anomaly is a sanbox action-survival game
The trilogy is an action RPG

[loud gate]

Yes, but that's not properly joining duty/freedom

[near token]

which faction is good for a newer player if I can join one or does it not matter

[near token]

oh

[misty herald]

It really doesn't matter

[loud gate]

Whichever you like most.

Every faction has different views and advantages.

[broken latch]

In all 3 games it matters for outcomes and rewards

[near token]

The worst one most evil >:)

[sand fiber]

they should sell anomaly tbh

dirty dezowave didn't deserve it back in the day with their pleb mod, but anomaly team

[broken latch]

I want anomaly behind a 1bilion dollar paywall

[sand fiber]

now we're talking

[misty herald]

Duty believe the Zone is dangerous and needs to be fought, and can be defeated. Which they are wrong about

Freedom thinks the Zone kind of rules and relish in the anarchism they get to live in and think it needs to be preserved and understood

Loners are mostly rabble but their reasons for being in the Zone changes from person to person

The Military is trying to keep the gaggle of criminal idiots out of the Zone and keep it contained

Bandits and Mercenaries are in the zone to make money but you can't align with any of them

[loud gate]

You can join Bandits in Clear Sky.

[misty herald]

That rules

I didn't get all the way through CS

[loud gate]

[broken latch]

In soc if you side with freedom you make rostok inaccessible and you might even soft lock your game that way if you're not experienced in fighting

In clear sky it's just gonna make your playthrough more annoying depending on which faction you join from the 4 available ones, and depending on which faction campaign you finish you get different rewards

In cop you side with factions, purely for rewards that don't differ a lot

[gaunt burrow]

Yes. He's in SoC

[broken latch]

Finally

[sand fiber]

why are you misinforming the poor lad, you can't "join" factions in any game but CS

[gaunt burrow]

Dark Valley. In Stalker Camp where you're getting scammed for Gauss

Thats his location

[loud gate]

Clear Sky's faction war is incredible. Nothing is better than having to endlessly defend the Depot from Bandits as a loner (its literally impossible and I go mad everytime)

[misty herald]

OH, you also have the Ecologists who work for the government and study the Zone, and Clear Sky (Monolith later) who are like the Ecologists but with a bit more of a militaristic streak to them.

[gaunt burrow]

You can even get assasination quest related to Vampire, from Barkeep

[sand fiber]

i love how none of the "fixes" actually fix faction war

[misty herald]

Clear Sky are in my top 3 because their swamp base is cozy and cool

[sand fiber]

CS is truly cursed

[broken latch]

What are you telling him

Clear sky monolith?

[loud gate]

To clarify this: Monolith is a different faction from Clear Sky

[sand fiber]

False!

[broken latch]

We don't actually know if clear sky members got brainwashed 🤓

[loud gate]

What he means is spoilers, won't say

[sand fiber]

secret anarchy cell lore!!! true and fact-checked!!!

[loud gate]

But Nimble

[loud gate]

The Anarchy Cell name sucked ngl

[sand fiber]

it's actually pretty cool

[misty herald]

Clear Sky are absolutely the coolest faction in the game they're named for and even the ones that appear in CoP were chads

[broken latch]

But doesn't fit

[loud gate]

In fact, they break it even more which means more pain which means less reasons to live which means more pain

[misty herald]

I JUST WISH THEY HAD DIFFERENT UNIFORMS

[broken latch]

Blud doesn't know clear sky lore well enough

[void jackal]

Clear sky is like ecologists but blue

[loud gate]

Clear Sky is literally just Freedom, but not retarded

[broken latch]

Clear sky is a shady faction that lies to the player and it's members

[misty herald]

God I hate that blue and white camo

[sand fiber]

scar,,,, ir emember you're genocides

[misty herald]

And a cooler base

[loud gate]

Bruv, their base is the worst in the series lmao

[broken latch]

One RPG is enough to destroy it

[misty herald]

Lies and slander

[loud gate]

It may be well hidden, but that's about it.

[void jackal]

Everyone but the military and obviously monolith is okay with clear sky which makes them the second easiest faction to play

[broken latch]

U should stop talking

[misty herald]

The Clear Sky swamp base reminds me of my childhood

[sand fiber]

tbh CS swamps are worse than SoC swamps

[broken latch]

What

[gaunt burrow]

Thing with Clear Sky is that CS members aren't fighters. Scar literally did most of the work

[sand fiber]

anomaly player get out of here

[gaunt burrow]

Even Lebedev admitted that they reached CNPP MOSTLY due to Scar

[loud gate]

All of them are hostile to each other, what

[misty herald]

Local man's back gives out from carrying entire faction, immediately hospitalized

[void jackal]

[broken latch]

Don't leave me here with the Anomaly players

[misty herald]

I need to get a replacement Freedom faction patch

[loud gate]

Damn, matt leaving too

[misty herald]

I have all of them except for SIN and UNISIG (eeeh) and I need a replacement Freedom one

[loud gate]

Good luck bro, you'll need it.

[gaunt burrow]

I said goodbye to Mozi XD. I'm not leaving yet

[sand fiber]

gn <333333

[misty herald]

I have two Ecologist patches for some reason

[gaunt burrow]

Anyways, Anomaly shouldn't even be considered canon to ORIGINAL story of the trilogy

[misty herald]

Right

[void jackal]

It's just stalker freeplay

[loud gate]

[sand fiber]

anomaly shouldn't be considered

[gaunt burrow]

Factions like Sin, UNISG etc aren't canon and shouldn't be considered as canon in the first place

[broken latch]

@gaunt burrow did you know monolith has one and only used one patch ever

[sand fiber]

it's not real

[finite dragon]

I will live and die by Anomaly being the only true stalker game

[void jackal]

It's an anomaly in the zone

[loud gate]

A game, it should be considered a torture method.

[misty herald]

See that's why I don't really feel a need to get the UNISIG and SIN patches. The only reason I want the Sin patch is that it's extremely cool

[sand fiber]

"just stalker freeplay" is CoC, Anomaly is an unholy abomination

okay like if you actually want a REAL freeplay go try stason or smth

[gaunt burrow]

Phone is dying. Brb soon

[finite dragon]

In the upcoming US election I will write in anomaly for president

[void jackal]

I tried coc and it felt more vanilla than anomaly, I just play anomaly for the QOL mods and how easy they are to find

[misty herald]

I play Anomaly for the more in depth and painful mechanics and roleplaying as a Mercenary shitbag in the Zone

[sand fiber]

and if you're a real stalker fan you'd be playing demosfen rn instead of chit-chatting here

[void jackal]

Right now I'm basically playing barebones anomaly with a few QOL mods

[finite dragon]

we only like vanilla anomaly here

[sand fiber]

tbh as a concept i find stalker freeplay a very interesting thing with lots of potential

[misty herald]

Favourite weapon?

[broken latch]

@gaunt burrow

[sand fiber]

but the realization so far

[gaunt burrow]

Aware

[void jackal]

The rex revolver

Was it mp412 or something

[misty herald]

Problem with Anomaly personally is that the more in depth mechanics made for gun nerd wierdos like me is that it's just kind of...pointless and I would REALLY have preferred they put more gas in storytelling

[broken latch]

+rep on knowledge fr

[sand fiber]

IN THIS HOUSEHOLD WE ONLY PLAY VANILLA G.A.M.M.A.

[loud gate]

What the fu

[sand fiber]

DOES THAT OFFEND YOU LITTLE SNOWFLAKE

[broken latch]

Yes

[loud gate]

I was supposed to got sleep, can't help myself

[misty herald]

I change my weapon a lot but I've been using an AK101 since I started

[broken latch]

I will go instead

Cya

[gaunt burrow]

Bye

[loud gate]

Truth and objectively correct statements can still hurt, yes.

[finite dragon]

In this household, anomaly is life and the originals have no home here. No GAMMA is illegal

[misty herald]

But YES! The Clear Sky Swamp Base reminds me of my childhood

[loud gate]

Bye, hope you have fun playing GAMMA or EFP

[sand fiber]

i need an anomaly-supremacy little dark age edit NOW

[void jackal]

Duty propaganda

[finite dragon]

okay going to turn down my contrarian dial

[misty herald]

-Live in swamp
-Extremely hostile neighbours
-Constant gaslighting
-Predatory wildlife
-Old church down the road

[broken latch]

Blocked

[gaunt burrow]

LOL

[loud gate]

What a relief

[gaunt burrow]

Anyways, I don't hate mods. I think hating mods because some annoying fans isn't the best idea

Personally I only have a problem with many mod fans who assume that story of mods is canom

[misty herald]

Nope it's not the deified, sanctified Trilogy content so it all must be burned as the highest heresy

[loud gate]

No, Matt. Everything except Anomaly isn't even cannon, fight me

[gaunt burrow]

While mods literally contain cut factions like Sin, that never even made it to the OG trilogy

[finite dragon]

I will say if people play the originals and then want to play mods who cares, or if some naive person comes in after downloading anomaly and doesn't even understand that the originals exist because they're 19 or something, its understandable

[loud gate]

Only objectively good experience and also cannon is Dark Signal

[gaunt burrow]

And... Clear Sky that got destroyed

[sand fiber]

new stalker fans can't understand total conversion for some reason

[void jackal]

It was all in a spatial anomaly

[sand fiber]

this is what happens when you let milsim fanatics in your community

[misty herald]

RIP to real ones

[sand fiber]

they haven't played any actual games

[finite dragon]

i do hate however that people think stalker is a milsim because of popular mods

[gaunt burrow]

F to Clear Sky fr fr no cappucino

[loud gate]

Anomaly isn't even a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. It's a game with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. texture pack.

[misty herald]

It's strange because I do a lot of firearms and weapons training, I have a plate carrier, equipment, yadda yadda, but I really can't stand a lot of MilSim games

Like SCP 5K, Ground Branch, etc, I've tried them and don't like them as games.

[void jackal]

Stalker anomaly video on YouTube with the thumbnail being a guy reloading his recce geisselee modded m4

[finite dragon]

you should have to read the book and watch the movie before playing/developing a stalker game

[misty herald]

If you run a bunch of optics and gizmos on your weapon in Anomaly you are a COWARD

[loud gate]

Addeicy literally resisting the urge to ban you rn for even mentioning it

[sand fiber]

most of milsim games are simply not fun, so that might be why

[void jackal]

Mb gang 😔

[gaunt burrow]

I think that so many misconceptions simply could've been avoided if so many mods fans could complete trilogy first but eh

It is what it is

[loud gate]

S2 is nothing like Anomaly is what I live for

[misty herald]

They REALLY aren't. Like, almost aggressively not fun. I can see the value of certain Milsim games like maybe Ready or Not, 6 Days, or Ground Branch as a sort of...virtual training aid? And that's like, reallllly stretching it wafer thin to try and say something about them

[void jackal]

I have played ground branch too, it's fun with other people but it's boring if you're playing alone. The whole appeal of it is being able to dress up your guy and the insane gun customization

[misty herald]

Yeah but I do that IRL lol

Not...shooting insurgents in the

OH MY GOD THE MAPS OF GROUND BRANCH SUUUUUCKKKK

Had to get it out, God DAMN I despise the maps in that game

[void jackal]

It's either too big or unfathomably small

[loud gate]

Everytime I played a milsim game, I found myself having fun 5 minutes out of an 1h game session. The game is really fun those 5 minutes, but falling asleep the rest of the time isn't the experience I would call fun in general.

[misty herald]

It's not even that, it's that they are all pre-packaged poorly thought out poorly slapped down pre-bought assets, and everything is so god damn poorly optimized like holy moly

STALKER? Extremely well optimized. You can run it on basically anything, very cool, very good. Load up the Power Plant level and look at the wind turbines with your binoculars. MASSIVE amount of polygons and power utterly wasted on background details you aren't really looking at

[sand fiber]

when you're creatively bankrupt the first thing to run to is REALISM, and the next logical step is REALISTIC GUNS, so it should come as no surprise when the Next Milsim Thing is as bland as all the previous

[void jackal]

Stalker is really CPU dependant because of A-Life

[sand fiber]

also something to note here is that making a "realistic milsim" is very easy and requires minimal effort

[misty herald]

Tactical Barbie Milsim games are the new Open World Survival Crafting Zombie games

[loud gate]

Arma, Squad, Ground Branch, they all look the damn same lmao

[sand fiber]

arma has some things going for it

[finite dragon]

yeah you like crawl and move slowly and die a lot

[void jackal]

It's about how punishing the game is imo

[loud gate]

Sure, it's more of a sandbox than an actual milsim, but you get the idea.

[void jackal]

The more punishing your milsim is the better it is for the gamers

[misty herald]

See I say all of this but the game I play the most frequently nowadays is War of Rights

which is...I guess an early 1860's MilSim with character customization

So...

[sand fiber]

that seems fun

[misty herald]

It is if you join a Regiment and play in organized events

[loud gate]

Having thr game be too punishing isn't good.

[misty herald]

And if you're a massive history dweeb like me

[sand fiber]

honestly why not go to real reconstructions/airsoft at this point

[loud gate]

It discourages making risky decisions and resorting to just safe and boring options.

[void jackal]

Tarkov being a victim of this with the armor rework

[gaunt burrow]

Most fun I had in Stalker was getting scammed in Dark Valley

[sand fiber]

oh wait, the price

[loud gate]

I haven't played Tarkov recently, idk.

[misty herald]

I did a LOT when I was younger but I have way too many things going on, responsibilities, and loading up WoR and fighting in event battles with my regiment is MUCH cheaper

[void jackal]

It basically made it so that your armor only covers certain parts of your torso and not the whole torso

[loud gate]

Just use the knife, you don't need that much money for one

A hoodie, a knife. You'll be there full British style

[void jackal]

They won't even know what hit em

[misty herald]

Flash back to being a Soviet Army re-enactor in a Stalingrad vignette impression. We intentionally starved ourselves for two days to look authentically miserable

[sand fiber]

only thing i know about reconstruction events is that russian 30yo war criminals love to do that

[void jackal]

I wonder why

[misty herald]

(I was a Soviet Army renactor purely because the only WW2 firearm I owned at the time was a Mosin Nagant)

[loud gate]

[misty herald]

Now I have an M1 Garand, Type 99 Arisaka, Mosin, and a Kar98

[misty herald]

Yeah

[loud gate]

Pizza Man, its 3AM, what are you doing

[loud gate]

No, the SVD is the clone.

[misty herald]

HA HA YEAH

We had ourselves a really big, calorie dense meal prior then went out camping with Soviet issued items, not eating for two days but still drinking water

By the time it was time to go and do the re-enactment we were sullen, grouchy, filthy

[void jackal]

Insane dedication

[worthy lagoon]

2 am

[misty herald]

One of ours got an ass of ticks on his skin and we spent like half the prep time with tweezers and a lighter getting them off

[loud gate]

Different time zone, forgor

[misty herald]

But nowadays I prefer simulated unhygenic misery like STALKER

[sand fiber]

should've ordered animal wagons for more authenticity tbh

[misty herald]

Stalingrad. All the animals are eaten and made into mittens

[gaunt burrow]

Got a question to mod fans: why do some mods, for example GAMMA require you to have like million items?

[sand fiber]

i mean the animal wagons for troop transportation

[void jackal]

I don't play gamma so idk

[gaunt burrow]

I never got that tbh. Its literally overcomplication of a gameplay

[loud gate]

Because we need to over complicate the game

[sand fiber]

am 90% it wasn't real (for WW2), but funny nonetheless

[misty herald]

What are you talking about? you mean like things for repairing weapons and armour

[gaunt burrow]

Pretty much

[loud gate]

Because that's what we call fun

[gaunt burrow]

Idk what are all those things called but I guess you got the idea

[misty herald]

Overcomplication of gameplay

[void jackal]

I don't get the whole appeal of having to scavenge for a million parts for a gun you would probably end up not using because ammo is expensive

[misty herald]

for instance to maintain say....an AK-74 in Anomaly you need:

-A small caliber weapon repair kit
-Another AK-74 to cannibalize parts from
-A multitool to take the AK apart
-Items like Hoppes 9 cleaner, steel wool, barrel cleaning kits to improve the condition of those parts
-A vise grip clamp station to work at

And as someone that owns an AK, I can say that's all a load of complete malarkey

[gaunt burrow]

^

[loud gate]

Why

[misty herald]

I dunno

[loud gate]

Just why

[misty herald]

All you need to like, swap out better parts on an real AK-74 are working fingers

Literally all you have to do is push in a little button and lift the dust cover off

You need like....8 different items to repair guns in the game

Say nothing of how RARE the gun fixing kits are

[sand fiber]

suffering i guess, but Grok isn't Dybowsky, he's not even Syak, he can't develop meaningful suffering

[finite dragon]

it's a bit silly, even from an IRL gun persepctive

[sand fiber]

applicable to anomaly team also

[loud gate]

I heard Grok, I'm out

[void jackal]

I don't even do combat half of the time, I just hunt for artifacts

[misty herald]

and there's like 5 of them

Light Caliber (5.45, 5.56)
Medium Caliber (7.62x39/54/51 NATO)
Handgun (9x18/19, .357, .45)
Shotgun (.12 gauge)

and I think one other....

And they are all extremely rare

I've found more increbily rare artefacts than those kits

But I've got close to a half million rubles on my Anomaly playthrough so getting my stuff repaired for me isn't a problem

The equipment maitenence mechanics suck really bad

Whereas in Trilogy it's supremely simple to fix things

[gaunt burrow]

I could understand for example needing only few parts for weapons and armors repair, but millions of those parts are too much

[misty herald]

I have a stash in the Army Warehouses that is literally JUST repair parts

[gaunt burrow]

in GAMMA you probably need more parts than total items you'll need in the original trilogy

Personally I don't support unnecessary overcomplication of the gameplay and never did tbh

[misty herald]

Didn't you repair weapon in the Trilogy by dragging and dropping guns on top of eachother?

[nimble cipher]

_grayson__ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite dragon]

I really wanted to play into the radius VR but then saw a video of a VR hand fumbling around to repair a gun and was like fuk

[gaunt burrow]

I only repaired weapons by paying technicians like law abiding citizen

[misty herald]

If it were up to me to design Anomaly's weapon repair system I would just do the drag and drop thing with an animation of it happening.

[void jackal]

Yeah, I don't get why the mechanics in gamma doesn't want to repair your stuff, it's not like I'm not paying them

[void jackal]

It's like that with some items, the workshop repair where you find gun parts is only really used in scavenger progression difficulty where everything is unreasonably expensive

[misty herald]

Another thing is that after a while you just feel invincible

I am basically a walking mercenary tank

[void jackal]

Set enemy dispersion to the lowest and enable hardcore ai aim

And also set the player protection to poor or average

[gaunt burrow]

Oh yeah, thats another thing

Basically you're at the point when game slowly becomes boring, right?

[misty herald]

Yeah I've basically reached peak Mercenary might

When I'm bowling through Rostok with an M249 I've known it's the end of that run

[gaunt burrow]

In CoP I also had the same moment. I literally didn't wanted to continue freeplaying because why? I got all the achievements, all the unique weapons, finished all sidequests etc

[misty herald]

And by that time you're basically a god

My only options are to slaughter Agroprom and then go on a one man crusade into Chernobyl

[void jackal]

Strelok be like

[sand fiber]

that's kinda a fundamental problem with stalker freeplays

[misty herald]

Despite my memeing about Anomaly after a while it does just get old

[gaunt burrow]

Good point Nozar

[misty herald]

I might do a WW2 weapons only playthrough

[finite dragon]

It's a linear game in a big world, and I really like that vibe..

[void jackal]

I'm doing a playthrough where I could only get money by fetch quests, delivery quests and artifact quests rn, trying to keep that killcount low

[sand fiber]

there's a reason actual freeplay games, including freeplay RPGs have completely different structures

the only way to solve this problem in stalker is probably just not to do a pure freeplay at all

[misty herald]

I think the most fun I've EVER had in an Anomaly Run was doing World Warfare.

After a while I was still a Mercenary god but by that time Monolith had overrun Dead City and the Army Warehouses and the Military took half the map

I was the last merc in the Zone

[sand fiber]

i think you can have enough freedom in traditional rpg boundaries to scratch the same itch freeplays attempt to

okay enough schizo ramblings

[gaunt burrow]

Aight I guess I'll go to sleep

Good night guys

[misty herald]

If it were down to my actual personality and lifestyle I would probably join Freedom

Which reminds me to order that patch

I gave my one Freedom faction patch to a buddy who went over to Ukraine

[finite dragon]

I hate anarchists but like freedom

[sand fiber]

[finite dragon]

I wish the loner patch wasn't just radiation

[misty herald]

they have the radiation one and the blue circle one

[finite dragon]

whats the blue circle one, i custom made some radiation ones but its too generic for me to sew on something

[misty herald]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/qwIAAOSwqOBewXz3/s-l1600.jpg these here

[finite dragon]

Where is that in the game

[sand fiber]

nowhere, not official

[misty herald]

All the sunrise suits have them

[sand fiber]

Oh wait

Isn't it a real patch from real Chernobyl costumes?

I think when the devs went to Zone they were given blue costumes with those patches

[misty herald]

beats me

All the Loner sunrise suits also come with the Ukraine flag patch

[polar dragon]

help. I keep crashing in Limansk on clear sky, whenever i want to load a quicksave i crash, only when i enter Limansk(autosave) it works

[misty herald]

I swear to god if Stalker 2 has a bunch of yellow paint all over the place to mark things out

I will scream

[olive cobalt]

I’m may be blind but I agree

Also gonna order the premium edition just to get the other stuff with it until I get a pc to actually play the game

[lethal orchid]

Trailers don't seem to indicate so

And it goes suuuuper against stalker in general

Because so much of it is exploring

[loud gate]

It's a tiny bit different now actually

It's one of the few redesigns we've seen yet

[solid dome]

[loud gate]

Good luck, man

[loud gate]

Thanks, you too

[pale pivot]

Just got my exams back not finals and they were not good 💀

It’s still early on in the year so hopefully all should be well 🙏

[loud gate]

Have you ever guys studied 'logic'?

[loud gate]

I'm asking because my first grade was literally 1

So don't worry, man.

[pale pivot]

Damn man I got a 60 percent on the exam after a 12% curve

[pale pivot]

thanks bro

[pale pivot]

?? Logitech?

[loud gate]

Logitech

[pale pivot]

I don’t know of “logic”

Nah u don’t need logic in this world

[gaunt burrow]

You guys know what things cannot coexist?

Logic and Twitter users

At least, most of Twitter users

[pale pivot]

The only thing that starts with logi on twitter is Logitech

[rancid kestrel]

Just played through Stalker SoC for my first time

It was soo good

[toxic vector]

every game in trilogy has its own good point, but i like the story mode in soc the best

clear sky has faction war

[rancid kestrel]

This is one of the best campaigns I've ever played, if not the best

[gaunt burrow]

Did you get the real ending?

[finite dragon]

Good Hunting Stalker

[gaunt burrow]

The one where Strelok destroys C-Consciousness

[rancid kestrel]

Theres multiple?

[gaunt burrow]

5 endings are false (Wish Granter Endings)

[rancid kestrel]

Oh damn

[gaunt burrow]

2 are "real endings" canonical ending is Strelok destroying C-Con

[rancid kestrel]

Then i got a false one

Still

Really good game

[gaunt burrow]

If you have old save files then reload them

After Lab X-16 there'll me a new mission unlocked, called "Meet with Guide"

[rancid kestrel]

Yea i did that one

I met the guide

[gaunt burrow]

Did you met Doctor as well?

[finite dragon]

Be kind to mercenaries and old man

[rancid kestrel]

Yea, at streloks secret stash

[gaunt burrow]

there's a hidden door at the Sarcophagus

[rancid kestrel]

And i got the electronic key thing

[gaunt burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd0m14Pm4qs here's the video

[broken latch]

Spoilers

[gaunt burrow]

aye. the decoder for so called secret door

[gaunt burrow]

check this

[broken latch]

I found the secret door before the monolith on my first playthrough lol

[rancid kestrel]

Checked

But i have really low health in that save, i could barely reach the wish granter

[gaunt burrow]

that sucks

that's why I always recommend everyone to restock before important missions

[rancid kestrel]

I did

[gaunt burrow]

also, CNPP is a "point of no return" in SoC. In Clear Sky it's Limansk so be aware

[rancid kestrel]

Just used up all of my stuff

[gaunt burrow]

once you enter these locations you won't be able to get back to previous ones

[rancid kestrel]

Damn

Well that's a bummer

[finite dragon]

Thanks

[loud gate]

speaking from experience

[sterile scroll]

@finite dragon thanks

[finite dragon]

Np :3

[solid dome]

Thinking about STALKER 2

[glossy blade]

[dark sedge]

can someone explain why the bandits were going after the barrier during my clear sky master playthrough

[pale pivot]

Yo mol1t are the pc spec sheet accurate still?

[glossy blade]

Yeah, we will update them if something changes

[pale pivot]

😅 😮‍💨

[glossy blade]

that is what we call up-to-date updates

can you say like that?

I dunno

[pale pivot]

Don’t update them too much lol

I don’t wanna break the bank

[pale pivot]

Updated to be up-to-date

[glossy blade]

tongue twister

[granite coral]

I heard Mol1t will change the minimum graphics card requirement to RTX 4090 @glossy blade

[keen rune]

Chat is this real???????????

Are we to recieve updates on Valentine's Day so I don't have to be alone once again?

[pale pivot]

Dw brah I’ll be alone too

[granite coral]

Nope 😄

[finite dragon]

guess the plan is first robbing the bank

[keen rune]

I'm gonna cause a second great depression for a new graphics card (I'm a 5 star wanted criminal and I got a bounty over at texas)

[solid dome]

Hire a fixer, like me
