I WAS ATTACKED WHILE PLAYING GAMMA
I'VE GOT HIT WITH MALWARE
AND WHEN I WOKE UP
I HAD ALMOST NOTHING BUT MY GAMMA LOADING SCREENS
"HERE'S YOUR NEW NLC7 MOD!"
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I NEED NLC7?
"TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT DISCORD YOU'RE IN"
O P E N T H E M O D P A C K
I'VE GOT NO MOD TO GO BACK TO, VASIM
OVER AND OUT

[wicked egret]

[latent flame]

how about dms?

ngl, from what i have seen

i think people really should play the trilogy first before trying mods

[latent flame]

im not gonna help a bloke with an advice when he starts crying on why the Air is killing him

[loud gate]

You don't care about anything if it's not NLC

[regal sapphire]

rip

[regal sapphire]

sure thing

[latent flame]

alr

[regal sapphire]

I have to speedrun eating my lunch

[worthy monolith]

Im at X16 and im getting my ass handed to me, im using fast firing ak and stalker suit, its skill issue isnt it

[regal sapphire]

yup

[astral linden]

is it Dark SIgnal mod pack updated?

[lethal orchid]

Man I've been playing too much stalker

I was just driving earlier

I saw this lady with a winter coat on

And nearly slammed on the brakes because I thought it was a controller

Also, was it just me, or is escaping agroprom the hardest part of the game?

[regal sapphire]

thats just you

[lethal orchid]

Red Forest wasn't very hard imo

In all fairness I decided to kill every soldier with limited ammo

[regal sapphire]

getting through the construction site was harder than escaping agroprom

[lethal orchid]

Which one was that again

[regal sapphire]

the one in limansk

[lethal orchid]

Like with kruglov?

[gaunt burrow]

Lmfao

[regal sapphire]

hold on ill send pic

[gaunt burrow]

Nah thats just you

[lethal orchid]

Actually the real hardest part was the final few levels

[regal sapphire]

#💬┃en_offtop

[loud gate]

That's a lie

You saw a woman in a winter coat, they're hot, I know

[lethal orchid]

I swear to you, I was half awake too

[loud gate]

Nah, stop lying to me

[lethal orchid]

This guy

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

Why were you driving in half awake state anyways?

[lethal orchid]

Had to get home from school

[loud gate]

Wait a second..

[gaunt burrow]

Wot

[loud gate]

Why was he driving half awake?

[gaunt burrow]

Yes

I just worded it wrong

[lethal orchid]

Because I was tired from school bruh

[lethal orchid]

You only forgot an "a" after "in"

Ur good

[gaunt burrow]

Noted

English isn't my main language so yk. Some nuances are still difficult for me

[lethal orchid]

You're pretty good

[loud gate]

skill issue

[gaunt burrow]

Although in all fairness my English isn't horrible either

[loud gate]

@gaunt burrow Don't worry, we know english better than americanos

[lethal orchid]

Such a hater bro

[gaunt burrow]

DECIDED TO PLAY A SOLDIER GRAMMAR NAZI? WITH ME?

[gaunt burrow]

All good bro. We're just messing around with each other

[lethal orchid]

Ik lol

[loud gate]

[loud gate]

No, I was serious

[gaunt burrow]

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

Where's @solid dome?

He usually chats in this timezone

[lethal orchid]

[loud gate]

Mol1t, can we have smile_faust here too?

[gaunt burrow]

+1

We could have gigachads from other factions as well tbh

Not just Dutyer gigachad

[loud gate]

Wouldn't be hard to implement

[solid dome]

Here brutha

I'm copping tunes on Youtube

[finite dragon]

What tunes is krezzin copping

you probably think im schizophrenic now if you listened to my radio show

[solid dome]

I did

I'm going thru old catalogues, fill my playlists, yknows

[finite dragon]

i swear other people like the music i like

im doing a polish disco polo show next week after that though im doing to do my tarkovsky-esque theme

[solid dome]

You into house music?

[finite dragon]

I like it all yeah, don't listen to house too often but yeah I like it. My home city had a big house scene in the early days

[solid dome]

Chicago or some other side?

[finite dragon]

yup chicago

[solid dome]

Ah finest

[finite dragon]

im being doxxed

but yeah chicago house was very good, uk had some good scenes going on too

[muted holly]

nice

[tawny salmon]

Pluh

[hidden stratus]

Cheese

I wish to see a new trailer GSC, at this moment.
-Brandon.1

[sweet belfry]

stalkerrrrrrr

[sweet belfry]

felt like it when I was younger and honestly maybe still to this day

but was one of my most memorable game experiences

terrified me and set the tone for the rest of the game tbh the rest is a blur

[south oar]

when i first played SOC

the bloodsucker scared me more than the controller

i killed the controller with a strategically thrown grenade

[hidden stratus]

The controller was a full jumpscare. Didnt knew it even existed before going underground

[south oar]

well my brothers who played it before me spoiled the jumpscare

but tbh

bloodsuckers are still scary to me

[hidden stratus]

I hope they are far more difficult to see while invisible in S2

[south oar]

i hope so too

[spring apex]

no semi-transparent, no breathing sound, no alert sound

[south oar]

woah

already sounds scary

[hidden stratus]

But can see it through infrared camera

[muted holly]

lol

[hidden stratus]

Or just a thermal too

[finite dragon]

hello. how are you?

[solid dome]

Lack of STALKER 2 killed my activity

Why even live...

[celest heart]

live so you can see Stalker 2 released

[thorn portal]

To spite people who want you dead

@gaunt burrow do you still want the military dead numbers or is that an old theme now xD

I am gonna start replaying CS today, sooo...

[gaunt burrow]

I guess you can count the numbers

[thorn portal]

Aite

[gaunt burrow]

I'm just wondering if it'll be the same number for everyone

I had 16 total amount of dead soldier bodies twice

Crimson also had less than 20

[thorn portal]

Dam this game is real good looking for its age

Stalker SoC looks like a mobile game compared to this

[queen monolith]

A scoped TRs 301 is so overpowered

Like I can just one tap most enemies with a good enough aim

[regal sapphire]

stack trace:

[gaunt burrow]

you mean Sniper TRs?

if so then I gotta agree. it's pretty OP imho

and very underrated too. I recently started to appreciate it

[queen monolith]

How do i escape lab x-16?
I'm at the room with the broken ladders

[gaunt burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piI9USr_5o4 start watching from 46:08

[tiny slate]

at the room with a controller, you have to go to the tunnels they are located on both left and right of the room

in SOC there you find Ghost's body and documents

[thorn portal]

Lmao i have to start allover again in CS

[latent flame]

The Controller scared me more ;-;

[thorn portal]

I quicksaved whilist bleeding with no way to save my self

I forgot how cancerous the combat in this game is, especially in master

[broken latch]

Gotta love cs bleeding

[thorn portal]

So imma have to do the whole swamp section yet again, it was litteraly poetic as to how i screwed up, i quicksaved as i killed THE LAST BANDIT on the village connecting the cordon, i was litteraly done with the swamp, only for it to be swept away because scar bleeds whenever he stubs his toe lol.

[gaunt burrow]

F

[spring apex]

[rapid umbra]

then dont play in master..

@thorn portal p sure theres some autosave in clear sky tho not many. just save every now and then and dont spam quick save (save scumming makes the game too easy anyways)

[gaunt burrow]

Only Master difficulty exists

other difficulties aren't real

[thorn portal]

Whats the point of playing stalker if its not on master lmao?Also, save scumming is a intended game feature, if the shooting wasnt cancerous i wouldnt have to save scum since then i would actually enjoy it.

[bold sphinx]

Fr

It’s master or nothing

[gaunt burrow]

Exactly my point

Stalker is meant to be played on Master

[bold sphinx]

It’s not fun on any other difficulty’s

[thorn portal]

Now i know that i will be flamed for what i am about to write but so be it this is a hill im willing to die on, i dont save scum in Gamma, because in gamma the gunplay is actually fun and fair because the guns dont work like RNG slot machines, and also in general the enemies go down realistically, instead of eating a buckshot to the ribcage whilist backpeddling and donking me on the head repeatedly.

Imma go at it again in an hour or so

I just wanna leave the swamps, because for some reason GSC figured that innacurate guns go well in an open map

[hazy helm]

you didnt make hard saves?

[thorn portal]

I was pammpered by anomaly that i would have multiple quicksaves, so i kinda forgor

Also there is no harm in redoing it, at least i cant get better at it

[hazy helm]

its fine,remember to make hardsaves every now and then to have a fall back point for situations like this

[thorn portal]

I have come to that realisation

[gaunt burrow]

What Vasim said^

hard saving is a must

saves you a lot of time and energy

[thorn portal]

Yeah i kinda forgot that the first two stalker games only save when you switch maps, and also that they dont have multiple quicksaves 😛

[hazy helm]

if you find the combat hard you can lower the difficulty as well as upgrade your equipment,farming money should be easy as the Faction War system is easely cheesable

[thorn portal]

Its no difficult its annoying at best

In short , im aware as to what mistake i made, its just been a while since i did a replay of the trilogy

Ergo imma spend another 30 minutes or so in the swamp, yippie!!!

[gaunt burrow]

Swamps is a peak design ngl

people either love it or hate it

[thorn portal]

I like the design except its a shi**y beginning map, open maps dont work well when your guns dont actually hit where you are aiming at

It would be a great map persay if it was in the middle of game proggresion

[gaunt burrow]

never had a problem with the accuracy

especially after getting Vintar and its ammo

[thorn portal]

In CQB sure

[thorn portal]

-A gun you dont have in the beggining.

[gaunt burrow]

I mean you can technicallyyy get it in the Swamps

but it's pointless because: 1) it's repair costs a lot and 2) Cordon traders and Suslov don't have ammo for it

[gaunt burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnGkjhFIMj4

[thorn portal]

Exactly, ergo you stay with the PM and the hunting shotty, or the AK, if you ahve the ammo for it 😛

[hazy helm]

that is what the game is primed for

yes

[gaunt burrow]

anyways it's still betting to save it

instead of buying another one later

[gaunt burrow]

PMm my beloved

[thorn portal]

Which is why the swamps are a very poorly placed map, its great in design, but its misplaced within the game

SoC does a great job at map placement and doesnt force you in open range combat untill the later maps

[hazy helm]

the game features a good ammount of close quarters arenas with a lot of flanking positions and cover,dont really understand whta the problem here is

[thorn portal]

The problem is when you fight something outside those designated arenas

[hazy helm]

but well,I always leave the Swamps with a fully upgraded mid level armour and a late game shotgun so

[thorn portal]

In CQB its just aiming down the PM and watching the renegades mindlessly walts into its crosshair

Either that or getting deleted with a sawed off xD

[gaunt burrow]

If you have a maxed up relation with CS faction then CS-1 body armor will be available for just 15k

you can basically complete the whole game with it

only problem is it can only hold up 3 artifacts maximum, while SEVA 5

[thorn portal]

Mate i dont have a problem with the mid game and end game, im complainign about the very begining

Sure those things with actual accuarcy are great and all, but you dont have them from the get go

[gaunt burrow]

Honestly? I kinda also dislike how the game throws you into faction wars in the beginning

but on another hand Renegades are a perfect target practice too

[gaunt burrow]

at least you can choose not to join other factions and not participate in their wars

[thorn portal]

Thats their point xD washed out bandits to shoot at whilsit not actually forbiding you from joining the bandits in the faction awr

[gaunt burrow]

Renegades basically exist just so player wouldn't ruin his relation with the bandits (at least in the beginning)

literally Walmart bandits

[thorn portal]

Yeah, i dont understand people who actually like the bandits besides playing with them because its a faction they havent joined in the faction wars xD

Its kinda hard to like a faction whose entire existance in the game is portrayed by them constatly mugging you

LMAOOOO i just saw a clear sky fella toss a grenade on 1 renegade, killing 3 clear skyers i the procces, positive elixir trade lol

[gaunt burrow]

💀

[worn oar]

it's called collateral damage

[finite dragon]

Clear sky's guys threw a grenade that hit “me” in the back and killed “me”...

Not memes…

[swift sluice]

The source code for olr 3.0 got released

[finite dragon]

ye but like

devs hop on that ASAP

just for the dynamic a-life

OLR 3 idek if u can play without knowing russian

[spare trail]

is OLR 3 source code leaked or released

i am gonna buy AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB
cuz its recommended for stalker 2

[regal sapphire]

what is special about OLR 3? like what does it add
bc I cant find a moddb page for it

[old jungle]

I heard it made quite a lot of changes

[regal sapphire]

I can tell

[hazy helm]

released
its in open beta testing

[hazy helm]

C-Con made a quick machine translation

no good Tl until the version stabalizes

[upbeat sigil]

today is shit

I Downloaded the wrong copy of mc

[loud gate]

I wanted to try it out, did you play it yet vaseem

[hazy helm]

no

not yet

[regal sapphire]

hey can you tell me what olr 3 changes

theres no summary of it anywhere

[hazy helm]

no

[regal sapphire]

man why

[hazy helm]

man I didnt play the game

[regal sapphire]

oh ok

[old jungle]

From the little I've seen it seems to be similar to the 2.5 version but with even more concepts from the design docs brought back

Like NPCs can acquire the secret documents before you

[regal sapphire]

oh dam thats actually kinda sick

[loud gate]

HUH

@old jungle @hazy helm OLR 3.0 Trailer coming

[old jungle]

If you play it, tell us how it is

[loud gate]

I will play it when it comes out fully

Or maybe I'll play it out now, we'll see..

Vaseem, can you DM me OLR 3.0 download?

[white jungle]

hmmmm
Im thinking of buying the ultimate edition for stalker 2

[loud gate]

I'd imagine more concepts

I'm considering you know what OLR is generally

[regal sapphire]

no I dont

never played it before

actually I just checked the moddb page for olr and there is no description
Theres only a link to go to some russian website

[old jungle]

oh boy then you are in for a ride

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-shocker-shocked-black-guy-gif-27526370

[regal sapphire]

I already have it downloaded

only problem is I have so many things to play idk where to start

I think ill play it after lfo and gw

[umbral jay]

Should i continue playing CoP tonight ?

[celest heart]

Yes

[regal sapphire]

yea

[sudden laurel]

absolutely

[loud gate]

Vaseeeeeem

Gib OLR 3.0 link in DM

[solid dome]

New announcement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🫤

[loud gate]

Can you just not?

[hazy helm]

ask in C-Con

[loud gate]

[umbral jay]

why

[regal sapphire]

bc CoP is good

[umbral jay]

Ok you convinced me

[regal sapphire]

💪

[lone leaf]

I should stream CoP for me friends some time

[solid dome]

Just not what?

[finite dragon]

can you just not to not

[loud gate]

It's a serious matter bro

[finite dragon]

lmao

[hidden stratus]

We got our own wars going on aswell

in our heads

I have been recently diagnosed with Stalker deficiency. A stalker trailer might help ease the condition

Not sure how I will cope with this new discovery upon my body.

I guess i'll rewatch Strider trailer again for the 200th time

[sly matrix]

[magic violet]

[regal sapphire]

what does infection do in lfo

like I just equipped a bubble and one of the stats is -1 infection

and the bar is slowly draining
I hope this isnt gonna kill me or anything

[solid dome]

What did I do?

Man acting like hell broke loose, the funk

I had 2 announcement notifications, got hyped for a sec

[regal sapphire]

lfo discord dead af

[hazy helm]

I wouldn't want to play 2023 LFO as well dawg

[maiden wasp]

anyone knows where i can buy stalker books from dimitrji sillov?

[regal sapphire]

so far its been pretty good though cant lie

thing is it has its ups and downs bc it is based off clear sky

main downside is the other stalkers constantly asking for help and those missions being failed if you dont go help + the nades
you have to constantly change spots for cover when youre in a fight

but then you get faction wars which is amazing

I just wish they added walkie talkies like in tfw

bc whenever I have to stay on a point I have to wait for friendly stalkers to capture the point but they take years to reach the location

main strat is to simply move away from that checkpoint and theyll come through faster

[queen monolith]

playing SoC currently, and i'm on the mission to shut down the brain scorcher, how far into the game am I?

[gaunt burrow]

Rule number 10 my dude

[finite dragon]

it was an accident haha

[gaunt burrow]

Pretty close to the endgame

Have you talked to Guide though?

[queen monolith]

need to find doctor

probably have to go all the way back to Ecologists, pick up my hazmat suit from there, and then go in

[gaunt burrow]

He's at Strelok's group stash

[queen monolith]

hm

And since I'll be going into Clear Sky soon, how different are the two games?

[loud gate]

Talk with Guide

[gaunt burrow]

In terms of graphics difference is veryyy noticable

[regal sapphire]

I mean theyre both stalker games
so theyre similar in the regard but there are a few changes I guess relating to maps and characters

[gaunt burrow]

CS also added new things such as technicians

NPCs that will be able to repair and even upgrade your equipement

[regal sapphire]

you also need to unlock slots to put your artifacts in them

[loud gate]

CS is SoC but better.

[regal sapphire]

the enemy will throw a lot of grenades

[gaunt burrow]

And new artifaft hunting was implemented in Clear Sky too

[queen monolith]

repair equipment
Let's go

[loud gate]

It adds the upgrade system, technicians, economy changes, faction war, new artifact hunting

[regal sapphire]

theres the faction wars

[queen monolith]

Granata!
Granata? Yep, that's a Granata!

[regal sapphire]

bandages are now there

[loud gate]

Best feature

[regal sapphire]

lmfao
im playing lfo atm and grenades are something I forgot about

[gaunt burrow]

Also, new artifact hunting system is in both CS and CoP

[regal sapphire]

true

[gaunt burrow]

To get artifacts you'll need detectors now

[loud gate]

and S2

[regal sapphire]

oh and ofc the story is different lol

[gaunt burrow]

Not like SoC, where artifacts are literally visible and you can just pick every artifact up from the ground

Economy in Clear Sky is also harder

[regal sapphire]

overall the biggest change is graphics probably

[gaunt burrow]

So think twice before spending money

[loud gate]

[regal sapphire]

true

also everyone run out of bandages

[loud gate]

Graphics is far from the biggest change lmao

[regal sapphire]

oh yea? whats the biggest change then

[loud gate]

How about: Faction War, Upgrade System or New Artifact system

All of these are a bigger game changer than just graphics

[gaunt burrow]

Gotta agree

CS did implemented such a good things

Another good thing GSC added in Clear Sky: Renegades

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

They're a perfect target practice

[loud gate]

[regal sapphire]

mm alright fair enough
and out of those 3 which one do you think is the biggest

I was never book smart im money smart

[gaunt burrow]

Either new artifact hunting system or faction wars imho

Upgrade system is also a good addition though

[loud gate]

Probably the Artifact System because it affected the Map, how you equip them on Suits and the need to balance the effects on them, and how you obtain them

[regal sapphire]

true

my fav change has to be faction wars though

which is much better in tfwao

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[limber bough]

how much of soc is left after i disable x 16?

[lethal orchid]

Highly depends on your pace

Mission wise about halfway

But I recommend you try and be part of the world more

Based driller player @limber bough

[sand fiber]

death

[sand fiber]

x16 is mid-game

[limber bough]

i dont like doing the fetch missions, i do only story and any side ones

like saving the scientist from mercs and any special missions ssoidorvich gives

[solid dome]

We are 193 delays away from playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl

[rotund fox]

playing?

[old jungle]

Yes

[solid dome]

Si si

Mere 193 delays

[loud gate]

It's just truth

[finite dragon]

my prediction is that the game will be released on 5th September 2024

[solid dome]

Q4 2025

[finite dragon]

I wish u all a good day be well

[solid dome]

I wish you all a blessed day, be well, farewell

[granite coral]

193 days is nothing for sure

Yes I'm a big liar 😒

[old jungle]

A lot of things can happen in 193 days. Let's stick around to see how it unfolds

[granite coral]

For example?

[queen monolith]

Is the Wish Granter mission the final one?

(For SoC)

[granite coral]

Do you mean there will be another postponement in the future? @old jungle

[loud gate]

He's just paranoid

[loud gate]

Idk, play and find out

[old jungle]

For example, getting an update to the system requirements

[granite coral]

I hope so 😄

[old jungle]

That's not what I meant.

[granite coral]

Cool

[loud gate]

Anomalous, I told you what to do to get them

[old jungle]

That's not gonna work.

[granite coral]

My PC is fine so I'll play the game on Ultra

[loud gate]

Fine, raiding GSC's office in Prague could also be a way

[loud gate]

[granite coral]

Yup

[loud gate]

Drop your gpu

[old jungle]

That's more my style

[granite coral]

6700 XT 10 GB

Ryzen 5 5600

Both hardware will be enough to play on Ultra

[tawny salmon]

Stalker 2 is using unreal engine amirite?

[granite coral]

UE5

[tawny salmon]

Damn

Well i hope the game feels like the previous stalker game and not some generic open world

[granite coral]

Yeah will see

[old jungle]

I would not worry too much about that

They will nail it

[loud gate]

Wanna translate that from BS to English?

So, in Nvidia Terms

[granite coral]

It is an AMD card

https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-6700-xt

Check it on that link

[queen monolith]

I like how the player basically goes from shooting some military guys with a pistol, to exploring the very heart of the Chernobyl Plant

[old jungle]

Marked One had one hell of a journey

[tawny salmon]

Thats whats cool about stalker

Btw,why are my suggestions getting deleted

[old jungle]

respect the format

[tawny salmon]

I did

Title

Description

[old jungle]

Well I don't know then

[hazy helm]

his ass did not

[tawny salmon]

I edited it

[hazy helm]

I deleted what is sent in the image

[tawny salmon]

Can you remove my cooldown I'll write it proper this time

[hazy helm]

you can write it later

[tawny salmon]

Whaaaaaa

[sand fiber]

it's wrong in every conceivable way

[tawny salmon]

SoC is only better in terms of story

Bro why does this server have such big cooldowns its not even active

[sand fiber]

what the hell is this community
it's literally the other way around, CS to SoC is inferior in everything except story

[old jungle]

That's just your opinion, some will have a different one.

[tawny salmon]

Tbf i haven't finished CS yet

But im loving it so far,and the swamp is actually one of my favourite areas in the series

[sand fiber]

no, it's objective and i can prove it

[rotund fox]

SoC doesn't have Clear Sky so it's dog water instantly

If you think otherwise you are dog water too

[hazy helm]

CS features a lot of advancements in gameplay aspects to SoC but SoC does win in pacing

[loud gate]

Yes, I know it's AMD, but I'm not familiar with their GPU so. It says its equivalent may be a 3070 and in that case, I hope you have 1080p and have hopes of ultra

This game is going to wreck PCs

[loud gate]

It's right

[sand fiber]

how

[loud gate]

It just is

But I also like ShoC more

[tawny salmon]

I always wondered why game companies care about graphics so much

[sand fiber]

consider the following: you're wrong

[granite coral]

We'll see

[loud gate]

consider the following: you're wrong

[tawny salmon]

Alotta people complain about CS removing ads from pistols

When the ads in Soc was garbage

[loud gate]

Rightfully

[loud gate]

That's a you problem, mate

[tawny salmon]

No

[rotund fox]

What? ADS wasn't the problem but rather that GSC was still stuck in the past when they made the gunplay for these games

[tawny salmon]

Stuck in the past? I think stalker was pretty advanced

It just some of the animations where terrible

[sand fiber]

stop masturbating to guns

will solve all your problems and games will be fun once again

[rotund fox]

Yea, they went with how games usually did gunplay back then: Pistols are super weak starter weapons, assault rifles are ok but can't hit a single thing beyond 5 meters and sniper rifles that murder everything else but can only shoot once a year

[tawny salmon]

What are you saying

[tawny salmon]

Of course its not how it works,but they did it for balancing reasons

If you started out with an already strong weapon then the game would be boring,and ruin one of the most important aspects of stalker

Going from a shitter with a PM to a dude with an exo skeleton and a Gauss gun

[rotund fox]

That goes both ways, AI also gets the stronger guns you get, so you just get cut down like cattle in a open field if you try to kill people with a PM

[tawny salmon]

The weapons being inaccurate was annoying but it was realistic in a way

[rotund fox]

Idk if it's realism i want, but i know i sure don't want what was present in trilogy

[tawny salmon]

Don't expect to snipe people with a rusty ass ak74u

[rotund fox]

Gun loses 2% condition and bullets start coming out at 45 degree angles lol

[tawny salmon]

They fixed it in CoP

Judging by the gameplay we've seen, I don't think they're going for a realistic approach

Especially since its their first cross platform game,they want it to be as accessible as possible which is kinda annoying but what can we do

[thorn portal]

I wish they actually took a more realistic ballistic approach, i mean i get that its mean to be arcady but making the game rng based until you get an actual usable and accurate gun is no fun 😦

[regal sapphire]

the only problem I had with aiming-in in any stalker game was in CS where you couldnt fully aim in with pistols

[thorn portal]

I actually prefered the pistol that way since guns have sway in CS 😛

[regal sapphire]

oh true

the sway was so robotic lmao

[thorn portal]

There is a way to cheese it its done by aiming WHILIST you are moving, the problem is as soon as you stop or change diraction it reverts back to normal

[regal sapphire]

I used to do that

[tawny salmon]

Its better than soc

Soc pistols jumped so high it basically covered your entire screen,it was annoying as shit

[regal sapphire]

LMAO

[queen monolith]

Is there any special ending for failing to turn off the field emitter in x-16, or do you just die?

[sand fiber]

death

[queen monolith]

Hm

[gaunt burrow]

it doesn't have any special ending(s)

[queen monolith]

Also, why does everything turn yellow around the brain scorcher?

[gaunt burrow]

psy-field. everyone thats affected by it loses his mind

[queen monolith]

Interesting

[gaunt burrow]

Marked One had functioning psi-helmet, that protects him/protected him from the psi-emissions

but even with that helmet he could still see the phantoms

but generally, without psi-helmet Marked One would also lose his mind and become a zombified stalker, just like others before him

[queen monolith]

I think I missed too much side stuff
Because I have no idea what's happening and i'm currently in Chernobyl

[regal sapphire]

😐

[regal sapphire]

yay sakharov doesnt sell psyblock on lfo

[sudden laurel]

I honestly never really understood what psy-blocks did maybe I've just never been in a situation to see where they were neccessary or I'm just dumb

[warm sail]

my ak never went bang when the bloodsucker was there

[worthy monolith]

I played the crap out of the metro games before diving into the stalker world and they seem to be so inspired by each other (idk which came first, stalker or the metro books). Honestly im so hooked for this shit

[finite dragon]

The original novels was Metro first, and what a "roadside picnic" in Metro 2033's large library
Metro is deeply hopeless, but the localization is great, so it's a little more popular

[regal sapphire]

alright something I dont like about lfo is that you can shoot bloodsuckers when theyre invisible
so its instead of just being invisible like in other games theyre actually intangible this time around until they reappear when theyre 2ft away from you

havent played metro yet

YOU ASKED ME ABOUT STALKER 2 RELEASE DATE, REMEMBER?
ITS A LONG WAY OFF
DECIDED TO DROP RELEASE TRAILER AFTER TOMMYLOVE'S VIDEO? FOR REAL?
MOL1T AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING HOW TO TROLL 100 RADS BAR DISCORD
BUT WE CAN'T QUITE SEEM TO GET A GOOD PLAN FOR IT
MAYBE YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT.
IT REMINDED ME THAT WE USED TO BELIEVE IN Q1 2024
I TOOK JUST ONE AWKWARD LOOK AT THE RADIO NUMBERS AND MY WHOLE WORLD PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS
IM SORRY, STOC
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....
THAT WAS THE DAY GSC UPLOADED OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE TRAILER
SUDDENLY, THE VOICE OF DESPAIR WAS GONE
I FELT AS IF I WAS AWAKENING FROM A YEARS-LONG COPIUM
AND THROUGH THE MONITOR, I SAW MOL1T POST ABOUT 5TH OF SEPTEMBER
WE HAVE A SIMPLE CHOICE
SIT BACK, AND JUST WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER
OR TAKE A CHANCE, AND GET GSC TO RELEASE A NEW DEMO
ONLY I DIDNT CHOOSE THAT DATE
UNLIKE YOU

stalker 2 game of the year 2064

[silver pagoda]

COME TO ME
AFTER YEARS OF WORK
A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS MANAGED TO TAP INTO......
THE NOOSPHERE
THE EARTHS INFORMATIONAL FIELD
AN ACHIEVEMENT COMPARABLE AT BEST TO THE CONQUEST OF SPACE
DIED IN AN ANOMALY MOD
SHOT BY LONERS
FOUND WITH A STONE AROUND HIS NECK
THROWN OFF A CLIFF
TORN APART BY DOGS
YOU CANNOT KILL GOD
JUST AS YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THE SKY UP ABOVE
I AM BLIND
BUT IT IS YOU, WHO CANNOT SEE

[worthy monolith]

Wdym "and what a roadside picnic in metro 2033s large librabry metro is deeply hopeless"
Not sure if that doesnt make sense or my english is not good enough
Please elaborate

[finite dragon]

Ah, I wanted to say that the worldview of the Metro series is hopeless

[spring apex]

the description from CoP said it erases some of brain function and emotions temporary.

basically lowering your IQ temporary so you are too st*upid to be mind-controlled

[worthy monolith]

Ah i see, i mean since exodus its not really hopeless anymore, cuz uhh you know fresh air and stuffs

[sly matrix]

Fresh air? So they have better living than city-people?

[worthy monolith]

To be honest, pretty sure oxygen cant get radiactive, who knows if there was a patch of land untouched could have really good oxygen

[tawny salmon]

Probably

[worthy monolith]

Then again that means nothing radioactive was blown that way by wind

[tawny salmon]

Radioactive wastelands don't last forever i believe

Which is why fallout is dumb as shti

[worthy monolith]

I mean not really, unless you think of the green sea

Which yeah is kinda silly

[worthy monolith]

And to be real honest here, most thinks including cars and buttler robots and shit are all nuclear powerwd, and since most of them blew up with the original nuclear bomb them im sure it adds to the effect?

Im stretching it too far here

[hidden stratus]

why is there no cheese in the zone?

@glossy blade STALKER 2 coverage soon?!

[glossy blade]

glad you pinged me at 10 PM on Sunday In respect to that I will not go with cat emoji

Take your

[gaunt burrow]

NDA'd

[solid dome]

If you only know how you keep ruining my day....

How can you stay positive when negativity strikes from every corner!!!!

I will be real with you, boss, like I am every time... your employeer employs over 450 people working on a project of unseen before scale and your employeer doesn't want to share 1 piece of media (gif, jpeg, mp4) of any sorts? How motivating...

Good thinking, right...

A single image in times where conceptual artists can do wonders with just a tablet and couple minutes....

If GSC was the "leading Wall Street company" of promotion services , the world would have collapsed within 12 hours or less

[finite dragon]

Womp Womp

[solid dome]

What a waste of talent, those guys who do promo arts and they are never shown to the world to appreciate their skills.

Its like you being the most famous painter and someone forbids you to showcase your work...

[gaunt burrow]

[solid dome]

Instead of improving your public image, you sit in the corner and do absolutely nothing

I'm beyond sick of the path GSC chose to take

This new business methodology up and coming and established developers are undertaking helps no one

[finite dragon]

new metro being vr and stalker 2 makes acister sad, need a new tarkovsky-esque aaa dev

[solid dome]

New Metro at least has a development roadmap, albeit barebones

STALKER 2 keeps spinning old artworks and screenshot touchups

[finite dragon]

yeah, they'll follow it and i have a feeling they have a pankcake metro in the works too

[solid dome]

How many times we seen the same artwork of ST2 during events n so on so forth?

Countless

[finite dragon]

okay, yeah I just read that awakening isn't the mainline game they've been talking about, thats awesome, my thoughts were right

[solid dome]

Its a spin off to grind cash from the rich bois

[finite dragon]

and i guess it isn't just psvr, good for them

can play it on a used quest 2 which is what I have

now im excited, probably be one of the only good vr games

[solid dome]

Silence with Stalker 2 kinda keeps killing entertainment as a whole for me, not just games

[finite dragon]

4A and cdpr keep me going, slavs still making games but yeah i also just started playing stalker last year so the games and mods have a lot of replay value left for me

playing clear sky and taking as long as possible to wander around

[solid dome]

Not really feeling the Stalker mods overall as big portion of them, not to say all, do the same formula - True Stalker makes the only exception

Same thing but reorganized. Not my cup of tea.

I like new engaging experiences

[finite dragon]

still havent played that, but olr looks cool, started nlc too, i don't know those types of mods seem fun

going to play true stalker after beating CS / CoP again i think

[solid dome]

Havent touched True still. My motivation sank so deep I'll have to have a huge crane ship pull it out.

Titanic levels of deep, y know

Guess I have to resort back to books as the new hobby instead of games

[lethal orchid]

It is annoying but I haven't given up on them

My biggest hope is that they're putting everything into working on the game

And almost nothing into anything else

[solid dome]

I am at that point in my gaming life no wonder I ditch my Steam account and forget about games overall. I had two long breaks not touching any games - 1 and a half year and I'm kind of on 2-3 months already again.

Games b getting more and more basic, stripped of any creativity, cultural impact, depth & whatnot

[lethal orchid]

Understandable

[solid dome]

What we used to take as "one time" titles 3 decades ago, meaning indie games, are now the pinnacle of gaming

Triple A products vanished in the distance without any noise

Let's face it, gaming industry is kinda worn out already. Its like with everything. Comes a point in time when stuff has practically no real value anymore.

Innit?

Sorry to say I sound like a broken record but the truth is out there, in plain sight

[finite dragon]

you ever play pathologic 2?

[fresh zephyr]

tnx

[solid dome]

Yearly releases, inexcusable releases, more developers banking on pre-release DLC announcements than usual, constant plagiarism of ideas, ever degrading overall quality, employee crunch and harassment, easily passing excuses, extensive customer manipulation through different means - selling stacks of promises... fk... forgot what else I had in mind...

[fresh zephyr]

the game doesnt look very good at 55

[solid dome]

Name 1 positive side of the industry right now I can agree with immediately

[fresh zephyr]

should i sell goldfish to get the money i need for the SEVA suit or should i keep it and find some other? (CoP)

[sudden laurel]

keep the goldfish tbh its very useful

[gaunt burrow]

Keep the Goldfish. Search for other artifacts and then sell them

Plenty of artifacts in CoP. Artifacts even respawn after emission(s)

[solid dome]

People always tell me I'm bwitching for the sole purpose of bwitching, but why they dont list the positive sides of the industry themselves.. Cuz there are none.

Go back three or so decades ago. We used to have proper quality control, we had no broken to hell launches, game trials as -try-before-you-buy- means, we could easily play with friends through LAN over the internet, we had attention to detail in all spectrums, we had technology which couldn't do much yet developers were pushing the real boundaries and doing what was beforehand considered an unbreakable barrier... list goes on.

[gaunt burrow]

Krezzin: The west gaming industry has fallen

[sudden laurel]

he does have very valid and correct arguments though

[solid dome]

Today we have what - groundbreaking tech, easy to work with and developers are constantly abusing this to release halfbaked goods... AI which literally removes the craftiness a human being can express...

We are not going forward, we're going one step backwards each time

...perceiving it as an actual development of knowledge

Its how I feel overall with videogame entertainment

[gaunt burrow]

[sudden laurel]

This is hella offtopic but I just wanted to say that you have an amazing way with words

[gaunt burrow]

Agree

[solid dome]

Anyways, gaming is dead for me personally. In every sense of the word you can think of. My 100 cents on the matter.

[gaunt burrow]

I feel like this will age well once S2 comes out

[solid dome]

S2 will be the last phenomenon the gaming world will witness. That one call of the wild.

Mark this comment to go back to in like 5-10+ years

[gaunt burrow]

Money and fame made a lot of gaming corporations lazy

They just don't make games like they used to

[solid dome]

Excessive amounts of money is as dangerous as terrorism

[gaunt burrow]

How can you compare large amount of money to terrorist?

[solid dome]

It's a metaphor

[gaunt burrow]

Alright

[solid dome]

Elder people in Bulgaria have one life principle they follow. Have less and enjoy life more.

Sort of said

I live on the same principle and think the same way

Quantity doesn't dictate anything. Quality does.

[gaunt burrow]

Easier said than done

[solid dome]

Its both ways

Anyhow. Since the copypasta cope kind of died in the water, I think I'll step back from being as active as I used to be. Even the jokes become blatant at times, lol.

[gaunt burrow]

Life does suck

Is it common to find items that you can pick up even doe theres a prompt for you to press f?

[gaunt burrow]

Sorry but I don't understand your question

Can you word it differently?

[fresh zephyr]

I got a stash location

I pick up everything except a TR301

Im pressing f but it wont pick it up

[gaunt burrow]

Ohhhh

Ye some stashes in Call of Pripyat are either bugged or very had to get

So you gotta try extra hard in order to get such stashes

Tbh spending a lot of time on such stashes just isn't worth the hassle

Oh hi @keen rune

btw do you know how I can fix my issue with global war? my cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen

[prisma onyx]

can i romance beautiful slavic women in stalker2???

[tawny salmon]

Women don't exist in the stalker universe im pretty sure

[celest heart]

There are only men disguising as women

[amber tendon]

@solid dome you have to try helldiver

It's not stalker but it's awesome

[tawny salmon]

Don't try it

[finite dragon]

Helldiver is great but misunderstood

Its basically a satire game where you're made to be an expendable soldier fighting for a suspiciously fascist empire

[tawny salmon]

Sounds like a title to a 1 hour essay video

[finite dragon]

Lmao

[amber tendon]

I think everyone gets it

[amber tendon]

There is one already

But I didn't watch it because think crime is a treason

[honest bridge]

No, but you can romance Sidorovich in stalker 2

[prisma onyx]

where do stalkers come from?

[honest bridge]

From Sidorovich

[tawny salmon]

They produce them in factions

[celest heart]

Stalkers come from the MONOLITH

[tawny salmon]

They all come out full grown adults ready for murder

ive always thought it was very weird how many weebs and furry degens are in the stalker fanbase it doesnt seem like itd appeal to them

[amber tendon]

if you call them degens before saying hi then yea

you would be very out of place
hi :)

[gaunt burrow]

Are you reading my thoughts?

[finite dragon]

i think just about everyone who plays stalker that isnt a weeb thinks its weird that weebs play it lol

[amber tendon]

Not every weeb has to sit in dating sim they do have other interests

[finite dragon]

but why stalker

[amber tendon]

Why not?

any other trans sisters here? (:

They have decent equipment though

Whatever kills

[finite dragon]

better than a bunch of femboy stoners that jerk off to mutant porn

[gaunt valley]

I’m not a big fan of freedom but they wear good camouflages and think the zone is beautiful

[gaunt burrow]

Who defends the Barrier?

Duty sure as hell isn't

[gaunt burrow]

It even spreads false rumors about defending it

[finite dragon]

rostok is basically the only safe place in the whole zone

[amber tendon]

No favourites in mind?

[gaunt valley]

I love watching my friend pop duty, loners, monolith, and Military with a 12.7 semi auto bullpup

[hazy helm]

Who

[gaunt burrow]

Tell that to stalkers who died by blind dogs

[hazy helm]

Autogun or recoiless

[gaunt valley]

What faction is known for smoking weed

[hazy helm]

My brother in Christ
No faction on stalker is known to universally smoke weed

A group of freedomers did in CS

That is it

🤌

[gaunt valley]

Cmon they literally have voice lines about it

[nimble cipher]

messer148 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hazy helm]

CS freedom is not a representation of the whole faction

So you even know the perogative and actions of freedom

Or duty

[gaunt valley]

Blah blah blah whatever

[finite dragon]

its heavily implied that they smoke weed both in soc and cs

[hazy helm]

In SoC they are literal radical anarchists not stoners

[gaunt valley]

They complain about people stealing their weed in their voice lines

[hazy helm]

Environmentalists in both cases in fact

[finite dragon]

lukash gives a quest to celebrate bob marleys birthday and ive never met anyone who liked bob marley who didnt smoke enough weed to get an elephant high

[hazy helm]

What I'm saying is the universal of Freedom is not just a group of stoners

I literally said that some are

[gaunt burrow]

Fair enough

[gaunt valley]

I know I know but it’s a stereotype with evidence

[hazy helm]

Ans I'm tired of your bad stereotypes

🤌

[gaunt valley]

Whatever

[hazy helm]

I will forever hate the new generation for ruining my stalker factions

Say yhe

[gaunt burrow]

Besides, if literally all of Freedomers were stoners then Freedom faction would be extinct a long time ago

I wish I could send screenshots here

But no access

[gaunt valley]

Do you actually think this

[finite dragon]

if all dutyers were incompetent cringe larpers then duty wouldve died off a long time ago and wouldnt be able to keep rostok

[hazy helm]

Yes,ppl nowadays don't understand the finer concepts BC they genuinely only believe the surface level memes
I've seen it way way more than the supposed "Anomaly" effect

[gaunt valley]

Obviously new generation of stalker fans and like trying to find ways to get rid of mutants in the game and shit is ridiculous

But cmon a couple jokes about the factions isn’t a big deal

[hazy helm]

Everybody bitches about anomaly but I ain't seeing no one bitch about the deterioration of the views on factions and fine concepts of the setting

[finite dragon]

youre like an oldhead black metal fan who gets mad about them damned kids using more than 2 notes in their riffs

[gaunt burrow]

Such jokes cause a lot of misconception

[hazy helm]

get a new joke and I will shut up

[gaunt valley]

It’s a 16 year old game

Good luck finding a new joke

[hazy helm]

All the lore reason to look up the lore when ppl do the work for you

[hazy helm]

Freedom are hypocrites

Bam

Done and went

have fun

[gaunt burrow]

@hazy helm can I have access to send screenshots of original stalker games here?

[hazy helm]

Ask one of the CMs

I don't have perms to change role permissions

[gaunt burrow]

Asking because I like to back up my claims with proofs

[gaunt burrow]

Aight thanks

[gaunt valley]

I kinda wish people found stalker the old way

[hazy helm]

Don't care

I know ppl who loved it after finding anomaly and ppl who have been playing since 2007

[gaunt valley]

I guess

[latent flame]

i think they just smoke weed for stress relief

[latent flame]

aw man, sorry dude.

i dont really think the memes are exactly the ones in lore, since theyre mostly community made and not from the actual lore

[broken latch]

Do you not read my bitching?

[hazy helm]

Hyperbole,I don't hate anyone in particular but it is true that the quality of conversation of factions has been going down progressively over the years in a sharp decline
It used to be that years ago we had in this discord some really interesting talks about factions
Nowadays it's 13y olds shouting the same stereotypes at each other and acting smug

[loud gate]

Yeah, it sucks

Your hate isn't as good as Vasim's

[latent flame]

very well, Sure Freedom is unhinged due to them being Anarchists but i dont expect them to be full of degenerates.

[worthy lagoon]

No

After clearing it, that squad leader had a job to capture military outpost

[spare trail]

i went far ahead of them and killed them all because stalkers (loners) are clearly incapable of fighting 15-20 military guys

never gotten that option, closest i got was capturing that camp(which prevents military from respawning)

but if seriously the constant feel of being chased while being so fragile and blowing up objectives is awesome

other than that you do you

[solid dome]

Hard to catch my attention these days

[amber tendon]

I understand why

[solid dome]

I'm like I have climbed down a very deep well, that if I have to climb back up, it will take me a lifetime

[amber tendon]

yikes

[solid dome]

I mean I usually play FPS, RTS, and racing games, with a RPG here and there for dynamicness. RTS games basically dont exist anymore, FPS - hit and miss. Racing games went to crap. What I like usually took a huge shot of quality reduction, lol

[amber tendon]

you could try third person ones

[solid dome]

STALKER being like the last FPS not to be ruined, for the moment

[amber tendon]

these were huge breath of fresh air for me asiide from helldiver

[solid dome]

I'm well aware it will be crapped on sooner or later, it's the inevitable plague

[amber tendon]

I choose to believe

[finite dragon]

What do you mean by "not ruined"...

[amber tendon]

I hope it just ends like a good book

[solid dome]

Not watered down by the usual nonsense you find in modern games

Concept hasn't gone south

[finite dragon]

True

[solid dome]

Literally the last ever FPS not downed by devs

[finite dragon]

Im gonna ruin it by introducing Vtubing into Stalker

[hardy bear]

Fair point, loads of franchises have gone down the drain

[solid dome]

I'm not joking, not at all.

[amber tendon]

don't see downside

[finite dragon]

Oh I wasnt blaming myself, it was a threat

[solid dome]

Though at one point in the future it will take the hit as well, as you can't be the only studio fighting a decade strong trend, you will lose. It's David vs Goliath.

[fresh zephyr]

is there a noclip command for CoP?

[solid dome]

Its called different

[amber tendon]

you aren't the first one i am p sure

[solid dome]

What was it, debug_something

[finite dragon]

Yeah. Just jump into whatever surface you wanna noclip through and hope the Bugs are on your side

[solid dome]

debug_camera?

I dont remember lol

[fresh zephyr]

theres a stash under a rock and i cant get out xD

[finite dragon]

uninstall the rock.

[amber tendon]

vanilla game?

[fresh zephyr]

yes

[amber tendon]

if it is, your movement is affected by weight

try consuming all food items

[fresh zephyr]

aight

[amber tendon]

I noticed it while "speed running"

even at like 49,9/50 weight I still felt like I was slower

[fresh zephyr]

nope, just cant get out

[amber tendon]

What's your channel

[fresh zephyr]

even getting under the rock looks buggy

[solid dome]

Hhahahah, the Garry's Mod effect

[amber tendon]

Blow yourself up

Quake jump

[fresh zephyr]

it might be able to push me out

[solid dome]

Try the Jackie CHan kick

[fresh zephyr]

ill give it a try

[solid dome]

[finite dragon]

Its my name

[solid dome]

I feel you, sir. I was stuck in tree branches before trying to reach those impossible at first stashes.

[fresh zephyr]

nope, can you go prone in CoP?

[solid dome]

No

[amber tendon]

Yea

[regal sapphire]

no

[solid dome]

Damn he will rot there

[amber tendon]

What

[regal sapphire]

you can low crouch
no prone

[solid dome]

Won't help him given his situation

He has to call for Harry Potter, use the PDA my duder

Seriously though. Tried reloading a save?

[fresh zephyr]

how?

[solid dome]

Shift+CTRL

[regal sapphire]

I cant tell if youre joking or not

[regal sapphire]

isnt that how you longjump in hl

[fresh zephyr]

i got it, my shift is bound to run, its actually ctrl+walk

[regal sapphire]

thing they dont tell you about in the game but theres clearly an area that requires you to do that

[fresh zephyr]

i set my walk to L and it worked

[regal sapphire]

oh ok you werent kidding

[amber tendon]

Poggers

[solid dome]

What, he has Walk hotkey set to ... L?!

Don't you WASD, lol

Tvfllee might have the weirdest hotkey setup ever

[amber tendon]

He might just changed layout because you never actually slow walk

You either jog or run most of the time so having walk on shift is counterintuitive

Unless you play CSgo or something

[regal sapphire]

he probably uses another keyboard layout

[solid dome]

Oh I thought he meant walking as in general walking, not the stealth walking

Confused myself

[regal sapphire]

but L is for flashlight

[solid dome]

Ye

[amber tendon]

Nah

[amber tendon]

Have you tried metal gear games?

[fresh zephyr]

it is WASD, shift is for running and i've set L for walking (you walk slowly when you hold it) but only temporarily since i use L for flashlight

[nimble cipher]

thethiefstalker6059 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[worthy monolith]

Im not even sure what i said was bad?

I asked a question lol

Uhh lets try again, so is the day and night cycle connected to higher difficulties? Because i dont think i ever had a night in game

Huh, i didnt get warned this time. Weird

[median hazel]

Why I've got 2 fps while my CPU and GPU are running lower than 50% of usage 😭

[regal sapphire]

what are you playing

[median hazel]

shadow of Chernobyl, clear sky and call of Pripyat, it's the same every time

[regal sapphire]

if youre getting 2 fps on vanilla maybe its time for an upgrade

[finite dragon]

wish u all a good night

[fresh zephyr]

I got the second goldfish, should i buy an exosuit or is there a better suit (good balance between armor and protections)?

[median hazel]

What upgrade do you mean

[regal sapphire]

computer upgrade

what are your specs actually

[median hazel]

but earlier everything was ok

[regal sapphire]

I did have that sort of problem in vanilla CS and CoP I think but it never dropped as low as 2 fps

it usually dropped down to 40 fps and got sorta capped there

[median hazel]

16 GB RAM, GeForce 920 or something, Intel Core i7 I've got Asus Pro laptop

[regal sapphire]

what are the 4 digits for the full cpu name

oh god

your gpu is a little outdated to say the least
I think thats part of the problem

[median hazel]

Has the stalker had any updates in the last year?

[solid dome]

I see

[solid dome]

Nah

[median hazel]

So why did it work before and not now since there was no update

[solid dome]

Your system

[amber tendon]

Nanomachines

[solid dome]

Another day of no word about STALKER 2

GSC will seriously put me on Xanax soon

[sly matrix]

expecting anything in particular?

[solid dome]

I was robbed off my expectations

[sly matrix]

well, no expectations, no disappointments

[solid dome]

Wrong

I'm disappointed by my own existence

[sly matrix]

why keep it at that though when you can also be disappointed by everyone else's existence?

[solid dome]

Why though, you dont live cause of others.... Weird logic, sir.

While I don't expect anything, you can picture it how motivating something posted will be for everyone. One never before seen screenshot has the power to make your day, not specifically game related. Any imagery of anything you grew interest into. Could be technology, could be even a damn flower....

[hidden stratus]

Wait until the last 2 months. I think after that you dont get your money back on steam. Something like that

That made no sense, what I meant is that after a certain amount of time of having a game pre-ordered if you try to refund it steam wont give you the money back

this is second hand information, either way no one pre-orders games nowadays

[nimble cipher]

baikal3494 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hidden stratus]

I doubt it will be a bad game, the problem is the horrible communication and the unprofessionalism. Whether it comes this year or within the next 10 im sure it will be great.

But yeah I haven't played Metro but if there is no news within the next month I will just play the series and call it Stalker 2.

Not a knock off of course not saying that but its close enough

Its UE5, don't think the graphics will be a problem

Not sure what you mean by the problem with the UI

Not saying anyone here should but there were leaks of the game long time ago and by the looks of it, it has changed alot. the inventory does look barren but the health section looks better, more modernized

Who knows, we haven't seen gameplay in a long time who knows how much of the game has changed since then. If it has hopefully for the best rather than the worst

Dont know what to tell you, seen both good and bad sides of this channel

Im sure it will turn out fine, and if it doesnt there are always mods.

[lethal orchid]

At the end of the day it'll be a stalker experience at least

Don't get me wrong, I'd be pretty mad if the graphics were bad

But I'd absolutely still play it

I pre-ordered too

Gonna wait a couple months and see what it's looking like then

[hidden stratus]

Yeah, long time fans dont care about the graphics but it looks like GSC might be trying to reach another player base other than the fanbase (Console). So hard to say what their focus has been on these past months

[lethal orchid]

Right

Talked to my xbox-using coworkers about it, they said they were mostly in it because it looked cool

[hazy helm]

SoC and CS big advertisement push was graphics,you could say long time fans do care about them

[lethal orchid]

Lol really??

I get CS but SoC??

Kinda funny

[hazy helm]

9 times outta ten,I want my games to look good,but looking good supersedes the ammount of new thingamajob tech you ca put in the game

[lethal orchid]

I want my game looking good if it's 60 bucks and 100GB lol

One great thing about Stalker -CS is that they run on anything

[hidden stratus]

Yeah I dont want to be like those tarkov players who play Anomaly but I do hope gameplay is in-depth and not the basic shooter we have seen in the past. Not that there is anything wrong with that its just that the time gap and technology has changed and GSC has alot of opporunities and tools to expand.

[solid dome]

Thingamajob? What are those twisted words, Vasim

[solid dome]

Funny take, GSC has 450+ employees and none of them are concept art artists. As we dont see those anymore.

Funny take 2. If GSC holds a Q&A session, every answer would be the same as the previous.

Funny take 3. By the time STALKER 2 comes out, we'll be thinking of STALKER 3.

Funny take 4. Skif finds out GSC are holding information from us and deactivates The Zone, leaving SIRCAA trapped in a prison with no exit.

Funny take 5, last. Game releases only within the developers office and we have to use our fantasy to re-create it in Garry's Mod.

Most painful of takes

[hidden stratus]

I dont understand what you mean by that. I meant that GSC can expand past the their previous games

I doubt people will be thinking of S3 when S2 comes out, since S2 is there is still the promised expansions

and dlc
