[worthy monolith]

I did watch berserk and goblin slayer
Second season was poop

[pearl jacinth]

watch bocchi

[sand fiber]

do hungarians even need to eat? what if they don't
we need to test it.

[worthy monolith]

Vinland was cool too i guess

[pearl jacinth]

it's like if a stalker fan tried irl human interaction (and also joined a band for some reason)

[worthy monolith]

We get hungary

[sand fiber]

berserk 1997 is good but uhmmm have you considered watching a GOOD anime

[pearl jacinth]

yeah like the movie summer wars

[worthy monolith]

I meant 1997 one
I also like Dororo

[pearl jacinth]

studio ghibli never misses

[sand fiber]

idk watch eva or smth

[worthy monolith]

Oh right i watched a few ghibli films, cuz of my ex

[pearl jacinth]

i used to be OBSESSED with this movie. still hear the main theme in my head sometimes

[sand fiber]

ex? hear me out you NEED to play disco elysium

[raven grove]

We all know Hellsing Ultimate is the only anime

[worthy monolith]

I liked brainrot anime tho, sakamoto was wild on shrooms

[pearl jacinth]

[pearl jacinth]

you'll love azumanga daioh

[worthy monolith]

Ill write it up and watch it at work if i get placed into backup shift again

[pearl jacinth]

[worthy monolith]

Its Scott Adkins
Boyka from undisputed 2-3-4 (only watch 3-4)

[pearl jacinth]

[worthy monolith]

This shit made me start doing mma like 4 years ago lmao

[pearl jacinth]

talking about anime in the official stalker series discord server is not how i expected to spend my time but i'm enjoying it

[sand fiber]

mma is anime too actually

[worthy monolith]

Youre shocked that stalker players are nerds? Cuz im not (im one too i know)

[pearl jacinth]

... ok yeah it makes sense now

we all nerdy at least a little. we literally play a game that's about the cnpp exploding an extra 2 times because a group of scientists tried getting goofy with the Sphere Of Human Emotions Around The Planet™️

[sand fiber]

nerd who does mma??

[worthy monolith]

Oh trust me most of them are nerds lmao

Theres this guy who has an entire batman logo tattood on his chest and has a personal gym named the batcave

[sand fiber]

they actually just tried to watch anime on the fourth reactor

[sand fiber]

OKAY LMAO

[worthy monolith]

Yep, so trust most mma people are nerds

The older ones anyways
The young folk usually drop out after they get bored

[sand fiber]

wait @pearl jacinth where are you from??

[worthy monolith]

🦅 🔥 guess

[sand fiber]

TURKEY???

[worthy monolith]

No thats 🤓 ☝️ "Youre european so youre actually turkic guys"

[pearl jacinth]

currently living in america

ok imagine this, a game that takes place in the stalker universe, but it's many, MANY years after the games takes place, so now the zones expanded to cover most if not all of the planet

[sand fiber]

metro with extra steps??

[pearl jacinth]

yeah

[sand fiber]

i think there's a canon-hub on russian SCP wiki just for that scenario

[pearl jacinth]

russian scp wiki is the last place but also the first place i expected to see something about that

[sand fiber]

https://scpfoundation.net/h it's a more survivor focused thing with that Foundation flavor of course but still

[worthy monolith]

Russian reminds me, i was thinking of taking a break from mma and trying sambo, theres a russian dude in Budapest with a club

They allow headbutts, thats kinda cool

[worthy monolith]

My brain hurts everytime i read scp

I dont think its bad, its just too much mane

[pearl jacinth]

how the scp foundation feels after putting a demigod capable of producing nuclear explosions in a 2 by 2 concrete cube

[sand fiber]

kinda same but with every literary text

i skip over the words too much

[sand fiber]

Safety Class: Safe

[worthy monolith]

My fav scp is that toy truck that weighs the same as the real thing

[sand fiber]

my favourite is 3125 because ANTIMEMETICS

[pearl jacinth]

whatever you do, do NOT give it mayonnaise. it will get very angry.

[worthy monolith]

I also like the lizard thingy that always stays out of your sight and if you turn fast enough you can see it for a split second

[pearl jacinth]

honestly i would also get very angry if i was just given mayonnaise

[sand fiber]

oh also End Of Death objects are very fun

[pearl jacinth]

i fw the computer heavily

the llama suit as well

[worthy monolith]

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-372 this one i like

[sand fiber]

i'm a bit biased though since i haven't read EN objects in a long time, so i remember mostly RU ones

[worthy monolith]

Every rpg game where i can i go heavy into stealth, its just my schtik

[sand fiber]

ever played the original Thief series and Dishonored??

[worthy monolith]

Thief and Stalker games are my fav games ever made
My name everywhere is TheThiefStalker lmao

Also yea dishonored is so based too, its the metro from stalker for thief

I hated that the guy betrays you if you kill people tho, even tho thats the whole point of the game

[sand fiber]

aren't MGS literally stealth games also

[worthy monolith]

It too goofy

[sand fiber]

CONSEQUENCES
also they betray you no matter what

[worthy monolith]

He doesnt if you dont kill anyone

[sand fiber]

you meaaaaan

[worthy monolith]

You only knock out everyone

[sand fiber]

ah samuel

well DUH consequences

[worthy monolith]

Its still dumb
Youre an assassin for gods sake

[sand fiber]

you killed all those beautiful people with hopes and dreams and lives and families

[worthy monolith]

I did play through once without the outsiders powers tho

[sand fiber]

i think Undertale was about the same thing

[worthy monolith]

It was nice

Awww i just saw the floofiest oldest guard dog just walk slowly infront of the fence

Thank you very mucho

[patent rapids]

[finite dragon]

Greetings Stalkers.

[silver pagoda]

hey bro can you recommend me some good mods for GAMMA please

[hazy helm]

+a mod called Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl

[silver pagoda]

wow is this new mod? never heard of it

[loud gate]

bich, I said play Spatial Anomaly

[silver pagoda]

i dont know what that is man i am new to this universe, started with GAMMA

[loud gate]

[silver pagoda]

hey man i just saw on steam something called call of pripyat is this a mod for anomaly?

[worthy monolith]

Ah, another one of those

I know this is trolling, but honestly sad that when i read it first i believed it

Its that common smh my head

[silver pagoda]

i dont understend what u mean

[bronze falcon]

tomfoolery

[silver pagoda]

i am not sure what you mean, i come here because i played stalcraft and some people told me that some devs developed a game called stalker which was inspired by stalcraft and played gamma

is that bad? i dont get it men

[torn mica]

Hey chaps, I have read that Stalker 2 will eventually come to the ps5 after a timed exclusive. Is there any official acknowledgment of this?

Or is it pure speculation

[bronze falcon]

^

[sly matrix]

Really? Not confirmed?

[bronze falcon]

trial documents had information about limited time exclusivity, but it was in 2021, terms might have been changed since, and it did not clearly said that GSC intend to 100% release game on ps5 after release

[sly matrix]

Eh, informally confirmed until formally denied then.

[finite dragon]

Hey guys and girls.

[upbeat sigil]

My balls

[timber violet]

Am I wrong or there was something about getting more footage 5 months before release?

[calm bough]

Lets hope there will be some new infos during Gamescom in august

[marsh dome]

Let's hope we'll have some information before September 5

[calm bough]

a pre-render trailer on sep 4th

[marsh dome]

I've put in my off time, I hope it stays that way

[glossy blade]

[loud gate]

@glossy blade What happened man, did the Emission hit?

Why is it so red?

[hazy helm]

ho hoooo busted

[glossy blade]

I wanted to look at new profile colours

[loud gate]

I hope next we will have purple

[marsh dome]

When can we expect a series on Sidorovich with HBO?

Nice to see the car junkyard again

[marsh dome]

[worthy lagoon]

NEW TRAILER

[vale lava]

and still no more gameplay, not looking good

[hardy bear]

Need to watch this in 4K

[amber tendon]

@solid dome !!!!!

[delicate sandal]

holy SHIT it looks good though

[amber tendon]

NOT GAMEPLAY TRAILER @solid dome BUT IT'S TRAILER

[vale lava]

Pre rendered

[timber violet]

wtf i predicted it? LMAO

[jagged blaze]

im in this disco but i never know with the announcements, can i pre order the fancy physical ulitmate edition yet

[keen rune]

Not gonna lie it seems in game (the dialoge)

[regal sapphire]

💪

[keen rune]

But it actually looks really beautiful

[spring wedge]

new trailer looks crazy

[hardy bear]

Looks pretty, but I doubt it’ll run pretty

[timber violet]

looks to me like actual in game graphics, dont you think?

[keen rune]

Hard to tell, the dialog seems in game to me

[sly viper]

holy smokes we were blessed

[wooden girder]

Cool trailer

[spring wedge]

definitely in game

[glossy blade]

Ukrainian voiceover gang

[timber violet]

it doesnt look insane to me so makes it reasonable to be actual in game graphics

[wooden girder]

Gameplay video when ??

[keen rune]

On the bright side, looks really magnificent

[sly viper]

july package who knows

[ornate rampart]

any news if physical ultimate preorders will be available again soon?

[calm bough]

Really looks good

[keen rune]

This trailer os basically the locations reveal of the game, and I'm not disappointed

[earnest bear]

Good there is finely more about Stalker 2
Sadly This trailer has less gameplay than even the Day before trailers

[timber violet]

Yeh it looks 100% good, just not "bruh its insane ITS SO NEXT GEN NO WAY ITS REAL"

[delicate sandal]

Looks like Garbage right

(the location not the trailer 😉 )

[wooden girder]

Thats looks like the truck cemetery

[calm bough]

seems like a mix of pre-rendered and ingame locations

[keen rune]

Can't wait for that gameplay trailer

[delicate sandal]

I mean the bit on the crane, the conversation

truck cemetary looks fantastic too though

[timber violet]

I mean theres different locations 😂 I think where richter and skif are standing it is garbage though?

[wooden girder]

Hmmmm

[keen rune]

It's similar to most games, example being uncharted 4, the game looks visually beautiful, and the cutscenes feel cinematic, so I assume the transition from gameplay to cutscenes in Stalker 2 will be similar

[earnest bear]

Yea and a cutscene which I learned to hate in metro Exodus

[balmy hound]

Awesome trailer ! 🇺🇦

[hardy bear]

Still digging the cutscene style

[delicate sandal]

It even looks a bit like the cordon rail bridge at 0:18 in the background...

[timber violet]

Is it the first time we see the location in 0:32? I dont think I ever saw this one?

[silk sparrow]

wow announcement and not a jebait!

[worthy lagoon]

based

[keen rune]

Isn't that white building in the distance the CNPP though? Where skif is standing?

[silk sparrow]

very nice

[keen rune]

Unless I'm tripping balls

[wooden girder]

It looks very close to cnpp

[keen rune]

Krezzin gonna lose his mind when he sees it

[wooden girder]

Not garbage

[delicate sandal]

North Garbage 😎

[lethal orchid]

Finally bruh

[timber violet]

Ah good eye, im bad with locations but it looked simple enough at first to be garbage, guess not :)

[calm bough]

Molt delivered a nice weekend gift for sure

[glossy blade]

yeah

[keen rune]

Mol1t, thank you for providing us a trailer, (when gameplay trailer?

[wooden girder]

Ak 74m

[timber violet]

5th september, with your own eyes

[wooden girder]

[silk sparrow]

this is ingame footage

[wooden girder]

Gameplay video gameplay

Thats what i am waiting for

[keen rune]

Odd, I don't recall the CNPP being that close to "garbage" unless where skif is standing isn't garbage

[delicate sandal]

Is that a Tark at 0:30 👀 Hiding off to the right

[balmy hound]

THIS. Forget about gameplay trailer imo. Day one, your own journey.

[timber violet]

Richter got a flare on his belt, wonder if it'll be a useable item

[wooden girder]

Must be truck cemetery or new location

[hardy bear]

Doesn’t really matter as long as you don’t pre order and just wait till launch to see what it’s like

Most gameplay trailers can be faked anyway

[wooden girder]

Ak 74

[timber violet]

Idk it still looks like garbage to me, look at 0:17 left side looks like garbage hill * THE LOCATION

[delicate sandal]

yeah I agree it's got all the hallmarks of garbage but it's definitely quite close to the NPP too so maybe some new garbage area closer to the centre

[balmy hound]

Pre-order, your choice, I did mine

[delicate sandal]

there was a lot of trash to throw away 👀

[keen rune]

Too close to the CNPP though

Unless it expanded

[timber violet]

new anomaly, locations change location

[calm bough]

was the location the army warehouses where the crane stood?

[timber violet]

I wonder if we'll have so many trees in the actual game

[ancient haven]

Btw it was obvious the game was running on lower resolutions and being upscaled
I'm glad the graphics is still eye candy

[icy prism]

Thanks for the trailer GSC!

[keen rune]

Visually impressive

[lethal orchid]

51 seconds😢 at least we got a trailer!

[calm bough]

The lighting and sky also looks very nice, is a big part of stalkers atmosphere

[keen rune]

That's what happens when you give devs enough time: a good game

[ancient haven]

It is
Now path tracing when???

[timber violet]

To me it looks like it going to be a series of "trailers" to introduce to certain things in the game, thats why its short

[keen rune]

Good theory

[ancient haven]

Could be

[silk sparrow]

okay, we want another trailer. 50s not enough

[keen rune]

Ask Mol1t

[polar orchid]

man, stalker 2 is gonna be such a visual experience

[glossy blade]

[silk sparrow]

if u cut intro and outro its 30s

[agile olive]

Not to come off like an ass, but I'd like to see more gameplay...

[keen rune]

Dog I think

[timber violet]

theres 5 months to go, you'll most likely have gameplay trailer and you dont have to preorder ya know.

[ancient haven]

May i ask, upscaling techniques were used in the trailer right?
There was quite some aliasing on some edges, what was the resolution the game running in?

[keen rune]

If that's a snork, i don't remember storms being that brutally fast

[silk sparrow]

mol1t

[keen rune]

If that was a cat, then that cat must've been extremely huge

[calm bough]

Richter waiting on the ferris wheel for Skif to arrive so they can both try it at least once

[glossy blade]

not sure, we just tried to show the level of graphics and atmosphere that we strive to deliver on the release.

[keen rune]

Confirmed mol1t is a mutant

[ancient haven]

It looked awesome either way!!!
I absolutely loved it

[keen rune]

Then I'm proud to say that the trailer has my hopes up, can't wait to play it on PC

After reviewing, I think it is a cat...but deformed

[silver pagoda]

ITS THE BAYUN

[keen rune]

Looks awfully huge though

[silver pagoda]

its called bayun, concept arts exist

[balmy hound]

I need to check on my computer later for that, mobile phone is too small

[calm bough]

waiting now for the videos that will analyze the trailer very indepth

[keen rune]

Slime already did that with the "cat"

[granite mortar]

Guys please, everyone go 🇨🇿 react the latest post in #📰┃announcement so we dont lose to the gays

[keen rune]

Now we just gotta wait for that sweet gameplay trailer (version 2) bless us mol1t please

[silk sparrow]

the same mutants in this trailer 0:43 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NuPJmiQh-A

[polar orchid]

do you think all these trailers of people talking are actual cutscenes? or do you think the game will keep us in control of the character when these people are talking in game?

[silk sparrow]

looks like wild mutant dogs

[keen rune]

Cutscenes, I assume no dialogue options, unless if there is

Awfully I assume this is just a normal cutscene

[granite mortar]

I hope its cutscenes, otherwise these playable segments are boring

[polar orchid]

i hope i can just shoot that guy and watch him fall off the crane

after quicksaving of course

[keen rune]

You potentially could...and then it'll change your story

[calm bough]

Thats evil

[keen rune]

Game did say there's multiple endings

[storm kernel]

new trailer looks so peak

[polar orchid]

you all know youre gonna quick save and jump off the thing

this game is gonna be awesome

[hot ingot]

i think it`s cat

[keen rune]

Bayun, new mutant

[balmy hound]

Looks like definitely the Bayun

Based responce

[polar orchid]

some magazines...

[shy moss]

God i cant wait for stalker 2 to release, i got the limited edition one for my xbox (i might buy a second copy for my pc since yeah)

[hazy helm]

what kind...

[keen rune]

Magazines of...

[polar orchid]

for loading bullets into

[shy moss]

strelomnk

[keen rune]

The good ones

[storm kernel]

true

[granite mortar]

Magazines of strong duty men with a Sidorovich calendar at the last page

[storm kernel]

I'm waiting for limited edition to become available in US

[shy moss]

I wonder if i could be in STALKER

[storm kernel]

nah I aint touching gamepass, I'm buying my copy to keep

[polar orchid]

thats what im gonna do then buy it on sale when there are some quality mods

[granite mortar]

No

[finite dragon]

Lol

[shy moss]

Its available in the UK via GAME i think, unless i got scammed

[hazy helm]

youd for sure be stopped outside by the perimeter guards

[storm kernel]

if you were in STALKER you'd be one of those bandits in Cordon that gets killed in the first 20 minutes of a new playthrough

[storm kernel]

that's UK, in United States it's unavailable

[keen rune]

Yo mol1t can I be in the game?

[polar orchid]

i have a month of free gamepass on my computer and stalker will be the only game worth using it for

[storm kernel]

worst comes to worst I'll just buy it on GOG

[calm bough]

physical ultimate edition or nothing

[keen rune]

If you say yes I'll be in your catalog of scrapped assets

[storm kernel]

I wish I had that kind of disposable income to have this mindset

[hazy helm]

why do you say taht as tho GOG is bad...

[keen rune]

Actual

[hazy helm]

Im a jannie

[shy moss]

I know

[hazy helm]

can you believe I do it for free?absolutely ridiculous

[storm kernel]

GOG (Good Old Games store) is good, Xbox Game Pass is bad

[shy moss]

Yeah screw it chat, im buying another copy of S2 in august

[calm bough]

I get it its just to support GSC

[polar orchid]

whats wrong with gamepass?

[storm kernel]

I don't like renting games, I like being able to install and play them anytime I want. It's not "completely" the case when you're dealing with digital copies, but whatever I'm not gonna pay a monthly fee to play a single game

[shy moss]

THIS

[hazy helm]

its a rental service,nuff said

[keen rune]

I agree, slightly but I agree

[granite mortar]

Buy me one too while you are at it

[polar orchid]

gamepass is great, if you only play games one time, youre actually getting them at a fair price, one month is ample time to finish a game for 10 bucks

[silk sparrow]

also dont forget to make cool animated profiles and backgrounds of stalker for steam users 🤓

[shy moss]

my mum is constantly like “guh gamepass my g-gamepass gets me games” NAH YOU GET THEM AS LONG AS THEY’RE ON THERE COME ON MANNN

[storm kernel]

gamepass does make sense if you want a lot of games but don't wanna spend a lot of money to "keep" them

[balmy hound]

They're actual devs (but moderators aren't)

[keen rune]

Just buy em permanently at this point

[polar orchid]

it makes AAA games worth the money. most of them sure as hell arent worth $50-$70

[hazy helm]

if they arent wroth it,you wouldnt play them to begin with

[shy moss]

70£ lol, i already got a copy but its for the xbox and i dont have a series X that i can use in my current home, and i dont think im staying with my mum anymore so i plan on getting a PC copy to play, and a XBOX copy to sell in the far future

[calm bough]

Stalker is worth full price day 1

[storm kernel]

lmao main reason why I'm looking to get physical limited edition, support the devs and all that

[polar orchid]

well i dont. last time i used game pass was to play halo infinite campaign and even that was not worth the $10

[keen rune]

Gamepass subscriptions is only worth it if you play a lot of online, I personally only used ultimate pass once, not really worth it for me, for others it can be different

[hazy helm]

calm your horses,havent even played the game

lol

[granite mortar]

Thats nice and all, get me a PC copy <3

[calm bough]

[keen rune]

Daisy can see the future

[shy moss]

nuh uh

[storm kernel]

nah I spent $60 for the campaign and I really enjoyed it. Gonna have to go back and 100% it sometime

[silk sparrow]

70$ for AAA game its just a beginning, soon will be 100$

[granite mortar]

Wait 70£?! Isnt that like 90€?

[polar orchid]

halo infinite campaign, like most modern AAA games, was discraceful

indie games are the future

[storm kernel]

down as with all games

[granite mortar]

You know games like Mario used to cost around 130€ in todays money, right?

[silk sparrow]

Why u saying it like you mad at me

[storm kernel]

$60 a few years ago is about $70 in today's money, it's just inflation

[polar orchid]

some indie games give a far greater experience for like $30-$40

[storm kernel]

I suppose

[shy moss]

conversion price

[granite mortar]

Im just asking, sorry

[polar orchid]

stalker 2 does look worth $50 tho

[granite mortar]

Most indie games do tbh. AAA games are a bland gray mass tbh

[polar orchid]

but we shall see if it lives up to how it seems

[storm kernel]

it looks really high-quality

[granite mortar]

Same game with a different flavour

[storm kernel]

a lot of them are, but there are some gems in there

[polar orchid]

graphics definitley do

[calm bough]

I wonder if Molt is hiding any more trailers on his computer

[shy moss]

My mum spent 120£ on starfield when it came out. I dont mean a special physical edition. Litteraly just the normal game with a few days of early access. Scam if you ask me. Just wait like everyone else

[polar orchid]

even if the graphics are less than what they seemed at launch trailer, game still looks phenomenal

[shy moss]

Mid af game as is

[storm kernel]

hopefully the gameplay doesn't turn out to be ubislop, I'm just looking for some fun gunplay, good atmosphere, and interesting world to explore

[shy moss]

SO TRUE

[granite mortar]

Damn bro. You could have 3 copies of latest God of War for that here

[silk sparrow]

everyone mad at 70$, tarkov pushing 250$ with unfinished early access beta KEKW

[storm kernel]

that's like $150 💀 I only spent $70 for the base edition

[silk sparrow]

BSG its a clown office

[hazy helm]

instead of paying for 1 boring game you could get 3 boring games with that cash
wow

[storm kernel]

destiny manages to get people to spend $50+ every year for a new expansion 💀

[polar orchid]

probably intended to be ukranian, english is overdubbed lol

[storm kernel]

one good game vs 3 "cinematic" slop games

[shy moss]

Its mid ngl

[polar orchid]

wait... that trailer was in ukranian

[granite mortar]

Or alternatively, you can buy 18 copies of Terraria
Now thats a deal if you ask me

[storm kernel]

nah I enjoyed it, game was fun

[silk sparrow]

people still playing destiny 💀

[hazy helm]

damn I can buy 18 copies of a grindfest game
showed me with more

[shy moss]

I told her how stupid it was to be honest, and she was just like “waaah its a good game and im paying to explore”
The exploration is a small area of mid planets with nothing to do

[granite mortar]

You can ger infinite copies of Unturned for that money

[ivory nymph]

Ive got a friend that is same, but the cost benifit ratio of games pass is just a no brainer. And it also allows people to play newer stuff without new hardware. You could play S2 on a 10year old lappy without a GPU.

[storm kernel]

I cannot believe Bungie is still making it. They stopped making Halo because they "didn't want to be known as the Halo company", now Bungie is known as "the Destiny company"

[polar orchid]

if you play release game on gamepass for $10 you can prolly get the full digital ultimate edition game later on sale for like $50

[silk sparrow]

WOW is the most crazy. u buy base game for ~40-50, u pay monthly 13eur and buying expansions for 40-100 every 2 years

[granite mortar]

Well, theres nothing we can do

[hazy helm]

I dont think I need to say anything the mere mention of Unturned is grave enuff

[storm kernel]

even cloud streaming that laptop is gonna be burning up

[shy moss]

See to me its mid i dont hate people enjoying it, i only hate people acting like its an entirely new and awesome game thats worth 120£

[hazy helm]

you can?nice to see someone who already has the game,how are you doing?

[storm kernel]

MMOs that you have to buy, then pay a monthly subscription for, THEN pay for expansions in are actually insane for me

[keen rune]

piracy laughing in the background

[shy moss]

Star Citizen is everything Starfield wanted to be

[storm kernel]

b-but Nintendo told me if I pirate games I'll go to Hell!!

[polar orchid]

i struggle to find anything i want to play these days

[ivory nymph]

no its not, its nothing more stressful to the hardware than watching a netflix

[shy moss]

Anyway, I must study. Goodbye

[storm kernel]

Star Citizen is the world's longest-running april fool's joke

[keen rune]

F nintendo, I pirate 20 year old games and I don't get caught by the deep state

[shy moss]

its kinda meh but i like playing with my buddies sometimes

[calm bough]

after how Bethesda are ruining their reputation since sometime now, the new elder scrolls wont be a day 1 purchase for me but the new fallout series was amazing tho

[polar orchid]

i wish nintendo would just release their games on steam

[shy moss]

Piracy is legal in my country

[storm kernel]

it looks like an alright game, I just don't like the fact they selling in-game ships for $100+

[granite mortar]

Hello Im Deep State, Im here to inform you I just caught you. Please do not resist

[hazy helm]

cant escape it

shit

[shy moss]

No, thats a dumbass idea

[keen rune]

Nah, they're money hungry, just like hickey mouse

[silk sparrow]

The Sims 4 is free game, but if you want expansions it cost 1235Eur 💀

[ivory nymph]

im doing great dude, i will be Day 1ing S2, as it drops

[celest heart]

New trailer poggers

[shy moss]

You can spend like, 1150 for a item ingame lol

[storm kernel]

technically it's legal in the US too, so long as you don't provide the downloads yourself

[keen rune]

Piracy as a whole is illegal, so long as you don't use a torrent you're ok, or provide information of said downloads

[polar orchid]

they would make a tonne of money releasing their games on steam. people without nintendos would buy them and also people with nintendos would buy them again

[hardy bear]

Just get anything from New Blood and you’ll have a blast

[shy moss]

What i think games should do is offer like choices of starter items

[storm kernel]

spending upwards of $10 for an in-game item is insanity. An expansion pack that adds new content I understand, but just for a new ship or gun?

[shy moss]

I do think its like a pledge but its a dumb thing to do

[hazy helm]

not much worth getting from the Twitterites

[silk sparrow]

which gaming studio said. buying a game dosnt mean you own it

[keen rune]

Elder scrolls online laughing in the background

[calm bough]

yes or even starting locations

[hardy bear]

Also I wish we’d stop calling them micro transactions, they aren’t micro anymore

[granite mortar]

Show me a game where you can get useful stuff for 10 bucks or less

[storm kernel]

the Switch is like the single best selling console right now, Nintendo frankly doesn't give a shit about spending a ton of money developing ports for PC when they know people will just pirate them

[shy moss]

ingame purchases

[storm kernel]

macro-transactions

[hazy helm]

Chinese shit and gacha games prob

[keen rune]

Micro transactions was only a thing because some dummy like Activision charges 30 bucks for a premium BP in their game

[keen rune]

Fallout 1st

[silk sparrow]

RE4 expansion cost 10 eur, its good expansion

[polar orchid]

if they hurry up and make a new mario kart and stop re-releasing 8 for the 20th time i might buy one

[keen rune]

Actually you can get fairly good games under 10 USD, old games unless the devs are kind enough to release it for free

[storm kernel]

at least in CS you can actually sell that skin and then buy a game

[polar orchid]

imagine mario kart mods on pc tho

new maps that are actually insane... most of the nintendo maps are mid

[hazy helm]

nha
the kids should be using Hammer instead

[storm kernel]

you don't have to "imagine", there do exist mods for Mario Kart Wii on Dolphin emulator

[hazy helm]

PUT THEM ON THE HL2 MINES

[storm kernel]

a worse fate than death

[loud gate]

@glossy blade Does Ukrainian voice acting use Motion capture lip syncing? It look a bit weird in some moments, but still great.

[hazy helm]

no,there exists things like fortnite or roblox

[storm kernel]

ubislop

[silk sparrow]

not surprised. shit ahh studio

[storm kernel]

are those level editors worse than Hammer? I tried using Hammer before and it was weird, at least on Source 1. Source 2 I've been trying it out and it kinda feels better

[shy moss]

I cant wait for AI generated games to exist. Gonna be slop level 9000

[storm kernel]

they haven't put out anything worth more than $20 since 2016

[storm kernel]

ubislop games are already AI generated. Have you seen Skull and Bones?

[hazy helm]

Fortnite uses UE5 and allows you to make maps and modes on it,its complete ass
Roblox is a bad engine that traps kids into a abusive relation and polutes their mind with a for profit mindset
Hammer truly is the best map making rabbit hole

[balmy hound]

People will have to wait years for Stalker 2 at a discount price like this. If you want to play the game, just buy it when it comes out.

[silk sparrow]

i saw they tried to do shit copy of cod with xdefiant which looks like bad clone from 2015

menu like AI generated

[storm kernel]

I wanna learn UE5 because I'm interested in position for game development. In fact, STALKER 2 will use UE5

[hazy helm]

its being made with the expressive point of being one so

[storm isle]

Hey, any news on how much the ultimate physical edition will cost?

[keen rune]

Already pre ordered the digital ultimate, can say it may be my 1st good pre order purchase in a while

[hardy bear]

Xdefiant is a bit messy with all the games being mixed into it but it’s solid

[shy moss]

I havent. Are you joking?

[storm kernel]

maybe Fortnite is a decent tool for having kids learn game development, and roblox also to a degree, but I hate how roblox exploits kids who work for them

[hazy helm]

yes,I know,but as a map making tool,shit
Nobody uses game engines to make maps they use shit like Blender or Hammer

[ivory nymph]

just get games pass? Seriously its a no brainer

[storm kernel]

Skull and Bones is actually so shit it's probably actually AI generated.

[hazy helm]

you can export Hammer maps to Object and FBX files and import them into your Engine

[calm bough]

350€

[storm kernel]

yeah true

[storm kernel]

really? So you can make maps in Hammer and port them to a different engine?

[hazy helm]

Fortnite is where brains go to be killed

[hazy helm]

yes,quite easely

[storm kernel]

brainrotcore

[hardy bear]

I think I read an article on Hammer in a magazine recently, isn’t that what some of the source games use?

[storm isle]

So about $375?

[hardy bear]

Or rather, commonly used

[balmy hound]

Same here, 1st pre-order of my life !

[hazy helm]

every source game uses Hammer its the standard map editor and its the best one

[hardy bear]

Yeah thought so

Might look into it myself

Done all my map work in blender but hammer sounds like a more specialised tool

[hazy helm]

Hammer is a lot faster to actually put textures in and is faster to prototype and make a map

[granite coral]

Finally in-game trailer!!!

[storm kernel]

I found a tool "hammUEr", is this the tool you're talking about?

[calm bough]

349.99$

[balmy hound]

You're also right, however i'm a casual gamer, more interested in very specific games or oldies (gog)

[hazy helm]

I only use Unity
Unity is a complete dog ass shit HDRP engine

[storm kernel]

recent source games use Hammer 2 (for Source 2)

[feral pilot]

Did you preorder on steam? The preorder is not yet available on Xbox

[storm kernel]

I tried learning Unity a few years ago but I had no programming experience so I didn't get far

[ivory nymph]

i used to raytrace with pov-ray, even had lightwave back in the day

[hazy helm]

C# is good

I love C#

[storm kernel]

blink twice if you're being held hostage

[silk sparrow]

best programming language is beer

[balmy hound]

Yes, Steam. Sorry, I don't know for Xbox.

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/eyes-chew-chewing-big-eyes-wide-eyes-gif-8128904

stay mad

I aint using bitch fuck react

get out with javascript

[ivory nymph]

i was playing medeval dynasty, starfield before i got new xbox. 1 was worth playing at least

[storm isle]

Here’s to hoping it doesn’t getting pricier than that

[calm bough]

I think it will stay at that

[ivory nymph]

pov ray writes in a similar shape, we have other tools now but i found it fun

[hidden stratus]

T..t..trailer…?

[feral pilot]

Yasssssssssssssssssssss

[livid flint]

hello I bought the stalker ultimate edition on amazon right now

[feral pilot]

hello I bought the stalker ultimate edition on amazon right now I am Dad

[balmy hound]

Так!

[hidden stratus]

Today god has shown man mercy. He has brought us his final gift. A gift in the form of a trailer for stalker2

[silk sparrow]

he is not lying. i was amazon

[hidden stratus]

We must celebrate.

[livid flint]

XD

[calm bough]

Finally you can preorder the physical ultimate edition on pc lesssss goo

[hidden stratus]

Although this day has been one I have waited for a long time, I have come to the decision that I will not watch the trailer

[granite coral]

Finally the game is happening!!

[loud gate]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1171602505382236231/1233409571138310294/CoinGif.gif

[granite coral]

Physical Editions are up too !!

[hardy bear]

Watch it, I dare you

[granite coral]

That means the game will finally happening

Release date is also the same

[hidden stratus]

Thats a annoying bro, i had just preordered the normal ultimate about a month ago.

[granite coral]

I already pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition (Digital) 6 months ago 😄

[hidden stratus]

Yeah, i gotta spend more now for that figurine

[storm isle]

What do the storage requirements for stalker 2 look like

[granite coral]

150 GB

[storm isle]

GYAT

[calm bough]

Yes 150 GB

[granite coral]

Yup

[prime spade]

And you’ll 100% want to run it on an SSD

[storm isle]

Welp, time to clear out my pc i guess

[prime spade]

Gonna have to find some other games to uninstall for space

[granite coral]

https://www.stalker2.com/en Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look

[loud gate]

Nothing changed, wdym

[feral pilot]

Try. me.

[hidden stratus]

I want the ultimate edition, but i dont want to spend 400 so now im in a bit of a pickle. I want the figurine so imma need to buy the edition which has it plus the normal ultimate

[ivory nymph]

Iv just got my series X, specially to hit s2 day1. Cause i cant stream up if im streaming down from cloud and i wont have to queue. But il try get a nice copy when xbox get them.

[granite coral]

It is still 150 GB yes

[worthy monolith]

Chat, i like stalker

[storm isle]

Is coop a thing in s2?

[hardy bear]

Doesn’t necessarily mean it will be. There have been plenty of games that end up being far less, a couple ended up more when they predicted 40 or so. It’s up in the air still

[granite coral]

No

[storm isle]

Will multiplayer be like an open world survival, or just pvp

[ivory nymph]

reason number 2 why i got the X not the S, 500gig doesnt go far when your OS steals 130

[hardy bear]

TDM, ctf, that sort of thing

[storm isle]

Ah

[granite coral]

It will be open survival probably

[storm isle]

Hope it will be

[hardy bear]

Although in fairness we have no clue

[loud gate]

No

[granite coral]

Co-op is not even an option in Stalker 2

[prime spade]

5 minute loading screens gonna make modded rimworld look like a joke

[hardy bear]

You too know the pain

[hazy helm]

it wont be like DayZ nor will it be Coop

[prime spade]

Playing on 170+ mods really hurts

[hazy helm]

expect smth like the original games

[ivory nymph]

nor should it be. Stalker is Darkroom, headphones 3am and a spliff

[hazy helm]

dont play bad mods
play New Arsenal 7

[storm kernel]

150 GB

[gaunt burrow]

[ivory nymph]

whole world can get lost, im playing stalker

[hardy bear]

I was like that when playing gloomwood, it’s a vibe when you find something like that

[prime spade]

I’m sure there are some games you can yeet in favor

[ivory nymph]

series X has terra SSD,

[hidden stratus]

man what the hell, not to be ungrateful but that trailer was short.

[storm kernel]

Last thing I need is for some stupid kid screaming at me in VC to revive him because he doesn't have the brain development required to play something more mechanically complex than subway surfers

[lethal orchid]

Yeah lol

[prime spade]

You would be surprised how easy it is to fill 1 TB

[storm kernel]

counter strike and TF2 are getting banished to the HDD

[prime spade]

I have 3/4 TB’s filled

[storm kernel]

during xbox e3 presentation they'll give us something

[prime spade]

Gonna have to purge a lot of my ssd stuff to my HDD space

[granite coral]

Hehe 😄

[ivory nymph]

no i wouldnt be. MS steal 130, 1000 is 970 in first place, and my ISP hates me

[hidden stratus]

hopefully raw gameplay not this pre-rendered stuff. Or even better they play it live.

[hardy bear]

Actually the game will launch at e3

[ivory nymph]

well spacemarine 2 is dropping month before and we getting a backwards compat of SM1 in july

[storm kernel]

yeah same. I have about 315 dedicated to Cyberpunk, Starfield, and some pictures. I'll need to move/delete some other games and go through my photos and delete the ones I don't need

[storm kernel]

a demo would be so cool

unironically demos should be a standard in the gaming industry

[ivory nymph]

i thought star field was average, Everspace is just better

[hardy bear]

Ironically Ubisoft are one of the only ones still doing demos

[hidden stratus]

How the mighty have fallen

[storm kernel]

that's because you only need ~2 hours to experience everything an ubislop product has to offer

[feral pilot]

There is no E3

Just an xbox presentation

[storm isle]

Starfield is if fallout was 5x bigger but still the same if not less content

[ivory nymph]

to be fair, Anno 2070 (the 1 they just pulled) was the bomb

[ivory nymph]

its not bigger tho. 10miles wide 1 inch deep

[storm isle]

Yeah size I mean

Like map size n shit

[thick orbit]

Yeah, sadly E3 died once companies realised they didn't need it and could just host their own shows. COVID kinda accelerated that.

[calm bough]

Now I just need to buy the normal and limited edition steelboxes lol gotta wait for them to pop up on eBay after release

[storm isle]

I already see ultimate collectors editions on eBay for Xbox

$800

[ivory nymph]

yeah but there is 20 different thing you will find on a "1000" different planets. It isnt 1000 planets, its about 50 with 950 moons

[calm bough]

[storm isle]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/326042743855?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=326042743855&targetid=2295557533350&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9003644&poi=&campaignid=19851828444&mkgroupid=160536780385&rlsatarget=pla-2295557533350&abcId=9307249&merchantid=619810910&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh-Th4iRuC2cIPXXDGg2t3ROZ&gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BBM2nxRP8gLn5B_7O1nhYPYSavg3E0dDyIpuSg33Kv0s66OgCpkTmxoCuCQQAvD_BwE

[ivory nymph]

Im sry bethesta, you owe us 950 planets

[calm bough]

lol why bother when they are going for 349$ at retail right now

[storm isle]

I don’t even know how they got their hands on it

[ivory nymph]

early preorder?

[storm isle]

I guess but how?

And why?

[valid kayak]

I know this is old but I'm playing on a steam deck and don't really have the option to play on PC as I'm a trucker and won't bring my PC on the truck with me. I found good sensitivity settings a while ago when getting in to arma. if you're still struggling I can share them with you

[hazy helm]

scam
@glossy blade a heads up

[storm isle]

Ah

[valid kayak]

I was actually searching this server for the word "steam deck" because I want to install ZRP but don't know if I can on deck

[thick orbit]

They don't actually have it. They're hedging their bets on getting one (or several) and re-selling them.

[storm isle]

Yeah makes sense

[thick orbit]

That said, it's another month gone and still no update on the pre-orders for the CE.

[storm isle]

Shame

[ivory nymph]

we had option to preorder physicals, special box + stuff. But that was removed after delay.

[storm kernel]

$800, holy shit

[finite dragon]

good gameplay trailer after all these years

[feral pilot]

or scamming

[calm bough]

I still cant decide which steelcase looks the most appealing

[gritty lagoon]

Always down for attuned controls! 🙂 and hopefully you could install ZRP in desktop mode 😅

[storm isle]

Wdym? Like you got actual confirmation that your order was placed and money got withdrawn?

[storm kernel]

they have different ones?

[feral pilot]

where do you look this up? on amazon it is unavailable to preorder. for me at least

[calm bough]

One for normal/limited, one for collectors and one for ultimate

[feral pilot]

I think so yes

[storm kernel]

oh okay

[thick orbit]

Same here. Amazon has it listed, with a price, but at checkout it doesn't let me buy :(

[storm kernel]

I might buy collector's edition, but $180 is a bit too rich for me rn lol

[calm bough]

Amazon for me here

[ivory nymph]

im not sure if boxes got sent, i never ordered. But i know money was given back to digi payed

[feral pilot]

it isn't letting me add it to cart for some reason, and unfortunatly xbox preorders are not available yet

[storm kernel]

$100 more for an art book and a statue is insane

[storm isle]

Well not being sent I understand, it being a preorder and all, but it’s weird they let you order them just refunded you

[thick orbit]

For me, I can add to cart but it doesn't let you check out :(

[storm isle]

Backpack

[storm kernel]

backpack is on the $300 edition

[storm isle]

I do love me a backpack

[storm kernel]

collectors edition (for $180) has pretty much everything other than lamp and backpack

[thick orbit]

Dont forget lantern Anomaly

[ivory nymph]

well, they put the game up and then their country got "busy"

[keen rune]

Word of advice for pre orders if you're new to it, don't pre order something that is priced at immense value, unless it's to support a dev team/good games

[storm isle]

Lol yeah

[keen rune]

Made a mistake when I preordered modern warfare 3, never returned it and gave it to my lad isntead

[storm kernel]

the backpack looks really cool but for $300 I know I'm never using that thing, I'm never letting it get dirty/damaged

[storm isle]

Or the devs have a good reputation

[keen rune]

You might as well sell it for higher value in the near future

[storm isle]

Okay but I still want the 300 one

[keen rune]

Or bring it to you everywhere to show off

[thick orbit]

Could be worthwhile if you wanted to cosplay but that about it unless you're just going to have it on display.

[storm kernel]

it's your money, and like I said the backpack looks really nice and well-made

[storm isle]

Are they saying if there’s a limit to how many ultimate editions they’re making?

[thick orbit]

I wonder if it's a Bethesda Canvas Bag

[keen rune]

Not yet, they might soon

[calm bough]

Here are the three steelcases for the interested https://imgur.com/a/5mPnOgI

[storm kernel]

The Duffle Kerfuffle (2018)

[balmy hound]

Yep that's more fair like this. Or preorder if you are sure enough to buy the game after release anyway.

[thick orbit]

No, they're gauging interest via application on their site.

However, release is 5 months away...

They must be in production already but I doubt every application will turn into a sale, it just doesn't happen.

[lethal orchid]

The lamp is the only cool item on there imo

[calm bough]

And the artbook

[lethal orchid]

I don't personally think it's worth 300

[calm bough]

aswell the big map as a poster

[ivory nymph]

i got stung by lediends of pegisus back when it got rushed and pulled. Everybody except value gave refunds

[thick orbit]

No collectors edition is worth it when you think about it tbh. The majority of it is physical tat that after a few years, you probably get rid of or don't look at anymore.

Is it worth it? No. Do I buy it to support devs and a franchise I like? Sure. Does it bite me on the ass sometimes? Yes.

[ivory nymph]

CEX sold me black box halo reach for £8.

[thick orbit]

Nice. Good old CEX. I'd love to find a CE of Titanfall 2 with the helmet but don't want to pay $900 XD

[ivory nymph]

i think it is, ive got tightest wallet in west, im really not used to having money. But to support the legasy of stalker, to support an honest dev, yes

[ivory nymph]

i said at till, you guys price that 1 wrong didnt you?

saved me £292

[thick orbit]

I would have probably walked back in and try to sell it right back to em XD

[ivory nymph]

sorry console people, i picked up halo late cause i was playing Half life, stalker and crysis

[ivory nymph]

I should have, i lost it in a move.

[thin shuttle]

new video looks glorious!

[ivory nymph]

have you seen the long star citzen vid? Holy sheet, there was GPU x4 and a 7k Ryzen running that.

[thick orbit]

I suspect you didn't lose it. It's actually very hard to lose things during a move.

[ivory nymph]

il be dead before they finish star citizen

[balmy hound]

Usually there are red flags (I remember that the development of CP2077 was rebooted at some point), but launches can be also tricky for bugs. I think we'll have to keep that in mind before a potential patch.

[ivory nymph]

nope, i lost it. Landlord, life hassles

[ivory nymph]

LoP wasnt ever patched, they dropped and then went "bust"

they cut and run

[balmy hound]

Yeah, I don't remember this game but there are scams in the industry sadly. GSC has its own challenges, but I trust their seriousness. It's a big team.

[ivory nymph]

They not really that big, but i do trust them.

they old school.

[balmy hound]

For Stalker 2 they are at least 300 or 400 devs/publishers on this, can't remember.

It's a big project.

[static compass]

So thoughts on new trailer

[ivory nymph]

yes, the MS team are there to make the cloud bit work as well.

[static compass]

I know it's short, but I'll take what I can get lmao

[ivory nymph]

doesnt give anything away. I like it

[slate folio]

Even though the game is 5 months away from release, why don't they show the gameplay video. I'm just curious, that's all.

[balmy hound]

Yes it's a rough number with different individual situations of course

[ivory nymph]

they dont need to. We know they got it right

[slate folio]

that is your opinion not mine

[static compass]

The people who played the demo said it feels like the old games

[finite dragon]

the playstation demo?

[static compass]

?

[finite dragon]

s2 playstation 3 demo dropped today right

[balmy hound]

I confirm once again

[ivory nymph]

there is no way they giving anything away. They got gameplay right before x2. Yes S2 will be pretty, but the only thing that team cares about is Gameplay, like i said they old school and they have my trust

[slate folio]

Thanks for the answer i just can't wait to play that's all

[thin shuttle]

I have star citizen but to be honest i'm not on the sci-fi boat (except for mass effect, ohh glorious)

plus that game never gonna be gold(finish)

[ivory nymph]

There is a new ME clone on its way with stolen Bioware devs. I cant remember name

[ivory nymph]

that what i thought 2, great technology showcase but just like flight sim, where is the game?

[thin shuttle]

and most important

WHERE ARE THE ALIENS!?!

Hear me you too Starfield

[ivory nymph]

Just play everspace 2, its on GP,

[static compass]

Still need to get the trilogy on Xbox

[thin shuttle]

Its totally worth it!

[static compass]

I bought it on PC finally and THEN they decided to drop it on Xbox lmao

[ivory nymph]

like not spout heresy again

[static compass]

I suck at using keyboard is the main reason lol

I got stomped by the first bandits you're sent to kill, Stalker probably isn't the most forgiving game to learn keyboard on

[ivory nymph]

i got all 3, turn off/adjust aim assist. Defaults arnt quite right.

[static compass]

Thanks for the tip

[ivory nymph]

learn keyboard on skyrim

[thin shuttle]

[raven grove]

Fun fact with STALKER, difficulty works in a fun way. It scales both ways, making it a more realistic feel

[ivory nymph]

the sold their soul to EA, and EA suck them dry. And the Larion did their job for them but better

[ivory nymph]

ive only ever played on master, but on controller you really learn quick mouse is better. I want my RAT 7 back

[raven grove]

I haven't used a controller in so long, it would be like learning another language

[ivory nymph]

your fights vs snorks reteach you quickly.

[raven grove]

Mm hoppy boys!

[spring apex]

blud maybe try hitting a poltergeist in call of pripyat with console controller

[ivory nymph]

polts are easy, snorks do that im going to kill you jump,

[frail rover]

The new video looks cool, but I just want to pre-order the damn collector's edition :*(

[bold sphinx]

its then jumping to give you a hug, the zone loves you

[ivory nymph]

and that funny spaz chimp run is impossible to hit

[wooden girder]

Ak 74m

[ivory nymph]

on PC/mouse i just double tap with shotty. Havent got it right with controller yet

[bold sphinx]

fair snorks arent hard to deal with unles they are in a big group but still not to hard

[ivory nymph]

with a controller, full auto is tricky

[wooden girder]

No

[raven grove]

Let's go Chimera hunting, that's a fun one

[wooden girder]

Snorkas are mid

[bold sphinx]

controller and console suck

[wooden girder]

With a sword

[ivory nymph]

the ceiling needed those holes

[bold sphinx]

with knife*

[wooden girder]

Still cool rifle

[ivory nymph]

merced me 5 times till i got him, quick save is your friend

[storm kernel]

whenever I play Halo or BO3 on controller I always suck ass

[ivory nymph]

its really not. I use ON94 and under&over shotty

[nimble cipher]

dumb_fuck2.0 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wooden girder]

Your choice

[bold sphinx]

wait what?

[wooden girder]

Ak rifles still cool

[bold sphinx]

leme re write that

[storm kernel]

ak rifles are simply iconic

[wooden girder]

Yes

[bold sphinx]

stalker is a quick save simulator until you learn to quick save every 30 mins then dieing has a bigger impact.

makes it more fun

[wooden girder]

Sometimes i forgot to do quicksaves

[raven grove]

You guys quicksave??

[ivory nymph]

its a learning process, id still stream with controller, my mouse work would be too twitchy

[wooden girder]

No we just play 24 hours when finished we sleep

[storm kernel]

the only time you realize you forgot to quicksave is when you die and lose 1 hour of progress

[bold sphinx]

only so when i die i only loose 30 mins of gameplay not the occsional time i forger and loose 2 hours

[raven grove]

[spring apex]

forgot to quicksave when the game crashes

[wooden girder]

I forgot to quicksaves when i quit the game

[bold sphinx]

stalker crashing is just a game feature, trust me

[wooden girder]

It is normal

Eastern europe

[grave mirage]

so great to see an trailer right on 26th Aprill

[storm kernel]

not gonna lie, if stalker 2 comes out and the game autosaves then I will be sorely disappointed

[spring apex]

o yeah true, can't imagine close quarter snorks like in lab X

[bold sphinx]

yup

[ivory nymph]

i mainy just use a quick to put in a manual check point. Its not dishonest to do so

[wooden girder]

No it is good womt have to press the f5 every minute

[storm kernel]

chornobyl disaster happened today

[bold sphinx]

yay

[grave mirage]

i know

[wooden girder]

Yeah

Rip to all those firefighters and liquidators 🙏🙏

[grave mirage]

today at 01 34 AM i think

[bold sphinx]

time to recreate history now where is closest nuclear power plant???

[wooden girder]

And workers civilians milltary personal 🙏🙏

[ivory nymph]

double tap to face with long shotty, its economical

[grave mirage]

but unlike the previous stalker titles

[wooden girder]

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

[grave mirage]

i can see the reactor nr 5 in the trailer ❤️

[bold sphinx]

right we dont have any

[ivory nymph]

they only recently turned the other reactors off.

[bold sphinx]

[wooden girder]

Balls

[bold sphinx]

🚿

[spring apex]

[ivory nymph]

dont give any thing away, but would really like to see some low light, dusk work, maybe some early morning fog vs dogs

[bold sphinx]

yuh maybe some new guns to

[grave mirage]

did y'all see this, they went on under the reactor 5 where was a tunel to the Chornobyl NPP ?

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

[crisp shuttle]

sup guys

[polar orchid]

yeah that channel and another one called kreosan have hours and hours of dank zone adventures

they rotated the ferris wheel in one

[grave mirage]

i love those guys ❤️

[crisp shuttle]

pripyat is on my to vist bucket list

[grave mirage]

even on rail tracks

[polar orchid]

legit or stalker style?

[grave mirage]

and during one videos they jump on wather nearby reactor nr 5 (summer time)

[polar orchid]

they crazy crazzzy folks lol

[crisp shuttle]

nah like book a plane ticket to ukrain and go on a tour there

[ivory nymph]

they a bit busy atm

[crisp shuttle]

yeah i heard

[ivory nymph]

but its on my list too

[grave mirage]

im wonder if in stalker2 two we'll be able to explore that tunnel under reactor 5 that leads to Chornobyl NPP

[crisp shuttle]

maybe who knows what they have in store for us

[crisp shuttle]

need to make a cosplay and take sick photos there

[polar orchid]

i hope a lot of buildings are explorable, it would be a lot of work for the devs but fingers crossed

[crisp shuttle]

should be

[grave mirage]

so far we have red forest too

[storm kernel]

aren't tours to exclusion zone illegal?

I know they still "do" them, but they're still pretty unsafe because it's random people doing them

[crisp shuttle]

its a dogey legal line but its possible and not even that expensive

[ivory nymph]

well if you had the photo pack with SoC you hard the OG photos of locations

[grave mirage]

the country still on war, i don't think they do anymore tourist visit to the Chornobyl

[ivory nymph]

ligit tourism dude

[trail arrow]

OMG. Locations (in the latest trailer) look and feel so authentic, so beautiful! THANK YOU GSC Game World, thank you!

[crisp shuttle]

well i can take a map, suplies, compass and all i need for a few days and live it out stalker style

hire a car to

[grave mirage]

even shiey managed to go to the exclusion zone

[crisp shuttle]

although might have to get in through forest idrk

[grave mirage]

before the war

[crisp shuttle]

yeah rn probs not best time to go there

[polar orchid]

it would be more dangerous to go the illegal way now, might be mines

[crisp shuttle]

possibley

[polar orchid]

the russians dug in around the power plant

[crisp shuttle]

but some boom booms make it more fun

[grave mirage]

yeah

[ivory nymph]

the OG dev team went there, took photos. Pretty much best survey of area done.

[grave mirage]

more likely in the forest area they put and there are still mines

[crisp shuttle]

im not 100% sane so if its means adventure and adrenaline I'm in, my saftey comes second

already do dumb shit exploring abandoned places

[grave mirage]

but, but, they even included even Duga Radar in S2 ❤️

[storm kernel]

make sure you're careful with more radioactive spots

bring a geiger counter and all that stuff

[crisp shuttle]

yeah

ill probaly do it when i have the money saved up

[grave mirage]

will limansk still be on S2 ?

[ivory nymph]

it doesnt matter for me

[crisp shuttle]

rn im happy climbing roofes in the city, exploring abandoned shit and hitchhiking to random places

[ivory nymph]

i dont know the area well enough, but i saw woodpecker

[storm kernel]

it might not, but you don't want your clothes and gear to get contaminated and spread radioactive materials to more people when you go on plane home

[storm kernel]

that kinda stuff seems really cool to do, but I'd always be worried about cutting myself on some rusty shit or worse

[ivory nymph]

things leaving the zone and fukashima is very common

[storm kernel]

I have an abandoned factory of sorts in my town but it's getting torn down soon and allegedly the ground near it is toxic, so I stay away. I drive past it when I go to rowing team practice every day though

[crisp shuttle]

nah thats why i wear long sleaves and cargo pants and put on gloves before touching anything possibley dangrous

[crisp shuttle]

GO, IN, THERE

[ivory nymph]

areas like that are probably more dangerous than the zone

[storm kernel]

yes, but they can still have dangerous amounts of radioactive materials on them, it's better to leave those things be.

[crisp shuttle]

abandond factorys are the best and hospitals are EVEN BETTER

[storm kernel]

did human trafficking write this? lmao

[crisp shuttle]

i live about 30 mins away from a abandoend hospital, its pretty well known where i live but i aint gona say its name cuz ya know it narrows down my location preety well but its epic to go to

[ivory nymph]

Im in UK, we have castles

[crisp shuttle]

we dont have any of that

[storm kernel]

there's also an old castle-like structure near my location, it's about 15-30 mins away and it's all the way back from colonial times (maybe? idk)

[ivory nymph]

ive drunk coffee in a building started by the romans

[crisp shuttle]

get out there and explore its amazing and youll never feel better

[storm kernel]

yeah, but still I don't wanna do something stupid that gets me into the hospital. Parents would probably be pissed aswell lol

[storm kernel]

I did go to the castle once a couple years back, it was pretty cool

it's on top of a hill and you get a pretty good view of surrounding area

[crisp shuttle]

ahh i see, dw i did that shit since i was a teen they will never find out getting caught is harder than you think

[ivory nymph]

they are always on top of a hill

[crisp shuttle]

best thing is to get some freinds, some beer and go to the tallest abandoned building sit on the edge and drink away and chuck them of the top

trust me its so fun

[storm kernel]

I mean like getting injured. If I were to go to some abandoned factory and were to emerge unscathed, yeah they'd probably never know, but my concern is getting injured and needing to go to hospital and that would just be annoying and inconvenient

[storm kernel]

that sounds chill af

[ivory nymph]

im from a small town with a river, we just go to pub hanging over river

[crisp shuttle]

if you dont get cocky and stay safe its hard to get injured, dont grab unstable or sharp rusty thing, bring gloves if you do and just stick to clear paths

its easyer than you think also tip bring a crowbar

[crisp shuttle]

fair

[ivory nymph]

i used to cycle in sticks, just as dangerous. Just know what to do when something goes wrong init. Be prepared

[crisp shuttle]

yup and dont be stupid

and be ready to run.

or hide security will come but they are easy to outrun cuz they have to stick to paths and cant climb stuf

i just jump on roofs and run away on them, it works they cant follow

[ivory nymph]

we have old factories too, most dangerous thing is pigeon poop

[crisp shuttle]

yeah lol

[ivory nymph]

it is lethal, dont desturb it

[crisp shuttle]

god, climing a ledge you cant see and feeling you hand touching somthing sticky just as you are about to pull yourself up is the worst thing ever

[ivory nymph]

I had that 2 years ago cleaning out a crack den

[crisp shuttle]

lol

i should go now cya around

[ivory nymph]

99.9999% almost finished the job

almost messed up, 150 pins i pulled out

[ivory nymph]

l8ters

[regal sapphire]

really hope so

[icy prism]

@glossy blade Am I seeing an artifact and a “deer” at minute 0:30 of the trailer?

[storm kernel]

also concerned about stuff like asbestos, because considering it's an old factory it could very well still be in there

[storm kernel]

bye

[amber tendon]

Kira ecologist lost her discord :(

[sly matrix]

If that's a reaction to Kira losing her account, uncool dude, wtf

[regal sapphire]

my b

[covert slate]

hold up, they fall for a scam link?

[sly matrix]

No, a "friend" got into her discord and started spamming reports

[covert slate]

wack

[versed crypt]

Real

[sly matrix]

Incredible how irresponsible people like that are. Train wrecking your own account is your choice, but doing that to someone else's?

[fossil frost]

damn if all locations shown in the trailers are actually in the game, we might nearly get the whole zone in one official game 😮

[finite dragon]

Is it just me or does Richter from the new trailer give me Hakon vibes from dying light 2

[finite dragon]

Greetings Stalkers. I have a question: What is your favorite stalker game out of all & why?

[opaque vortex]

That was a nice little teaser trailer trailer👌 is it me or did the graphic look better?

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky

It was the first stalker game I played

And I still love it the most

[finite dragon]

That's also my favorite! What is your favorite faction?

[gaunt burrow]

[hazy helm]

Shadow of Chernobyl with Clear Sky as close second

[gaunt burrow]

I don't bother joining factions in CS tho. I remain as a merc

[finite dragon]

What is the faction you find annoying?

[finite dragon]

[gaunt burrow]

Renegades honestly

With bandits you can remain neutral in CS and even join them

[finite dragon]

The bandits keep robbing me & calling it "Pay" for enter the garbage. Tuh, honestly. 🙄

Too bad, the only thing better than a thief is a dead one. Pow pow 🫰✨

[gaunt burrow]

You can just wait until loners will take control over Garbage's entrance(s) tbh

[finite dragon]

Yeah! But they're generally hostile aswell. Look at how they treat you.

They have the audacity to take ALL your money when you enter the garbage, then downplay it as maintenance pay. Honestly... I can see why Free Stalkers don't like those Bandits. :')

[gaunt burrow]

I remain neutral with bandits as long as possible cuz only bandit technician Limpid can fully upgrade SEVA

[gaunt burrow]

They literally had a concentration camp during CS events

[finite dragon]

You could help them- I mean, dominating all the entrances isn't going to hurt your reputation much with them, but honestly, I never liked the idea of thieves being called a valid faction.

[gaunt burrow]

They aren't proper faction tho

"Members of the criminal underworld who came to the Zone for different reasons: to make money by selling artifacts, hide from the law or trade in weapons. The Zone is full of bandits, ranging from common thugs to serious criminals, most of whom are members of one gang or another. Although the Zone gangs frequently fight among themselves, the criminal element still poses a serious problem for normal stalkers." - SoC's PDA entry about them. It is important to note that "Bandit" isn't a faction. Not all bandits belong to 1 single organization. SoC's description of the bandits even states that different gangs fight eachother. In Call of Pripyat, different gangs have different leaders. Sultan is a leader of Zaton bandits, Jack is a leader of the bandit gang that's located at "Checkpoint" location, and Shishak is a leader of another gang. That gang, as well as Shishak can be found at "Container warehouse".

loners aren't a proper faction either

[finite dragon]

I'm sorry, I never saw this message.

The first Stalker game I've ever played was Shadow of Chernobyl. You start at the Cordon, in Sidorovich's trading bunker.

I love Shadow of Chernobyl, but the only faction I've managed to join in it was Freedom, through a glitch. You can't really join factions in Shadow of Chernobyl yet-

[hazy helm]

you are not supposed to join factions in SoC yes
