I prefer not to answer.

[finite dragon]

what if bloodsuckers suck something else

[ornate rampart]

I initially thought about having them like SoC but now I kinda like them being harder to kill until they decloak

[hazy helm]

For them to not be invulnerable

[celest blaze]

no as that doesnt make sense they arent halo spartans with shields

[gaunt burrow]

imho it doesn't make sense for them to be bulletproof when they're invisible. they are invisible not bulletproof

[ornate rampart]

yeah I'm aware of that, but in SoC you could still kill them through their cloak, not on CoP (can't recall CS tbh)

[gaunt burrow]

not in CS too

[ornate rampart]

yeah exactly

[gaunt burrow]

you can't damage bloodsucker while its in invisible state

[exotic mural]

You CANT?

[finite dragon]

Right Bloodsuckers have optic camouflage or some shit

[ornate rampart]

how about doing this but then have their health a bit higher than normal so they would still be a threat?

[finite dragon]

Makes no sense how camo stops them from being damaged by nades

[exotic mural]

I swear to God you can

[gaunt burrow]

you can shoot them but if they are in their invisible state they won't get damaged

in SoC they take damage even if they're invisible

[exotic mural]

Okay, that makes sense then

[nimble cipher]

phantom.striker has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite dragon]

God damn it Wolf

I just wanted to ask Matt if the psi helmet could theoretically protect against controllers

[broken latch]

Not really no

[finite dragon]

What's the lore explanation behind it not doing so? I get wanting controllers to be dangerous for gameplay purposes

[gaunt burrow]

only controller we encountered that was actually able to generate psi-emissions was Agroprom Underground controller in Clear Sky

[broken latch]

Where did you hear that

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky

[ornate rampart]

what are psy emissions supposed to be? is there a realistic-ish way to describe them?

[finite dragon]

So most controllers don't fight using psi attacks?

[broken latch]

Folklore or actual mechanic

[gaunt burrow]

actual mechanic. bloodsuckers in CS don't take damage when they're invisible, but not in SoC. in SoC they take damage even if they're invisible

[broken latch]

Regular emission kills, psy emission fries your brain

[exotic mural]

Controllers don't even fight they just stand in a corner and hope you die

And then they have a django zoom in

[broken latch]

Weird, I swear I killed invisible ones in CS, maybe just DMG reduction?

[ornate rampart]

like a microwave sort of thing?

[broken latch]

Full on blowout

[gaunt burrow]

"To be honest with you, there's not much to tell. Emissions are especially dangerous and almost always fatal. You can feel one coming on gradually, by the changing weather, but it passes soon after hitting its peak. At the first signs of its approach, run for the nearest cover - a cave, something made of concrete, bricks or steel... Like some others, I can feel an emission coming on when my back starts to ache. As for the nature of emissions, I don't have anything useful to tell you - I just don't know." - Pilot, CoP

[finite dragon]

Yes but instead of electricity it's noosphere energy

[gaunt burrow]

Lebedev describes emissions as a discharge of energy

emissions also kill animals, which means that they don't affect just the psyche, like psi-emissions that can zombify people but only cause fear in animals, but have a much more destructive effect

[exotic mural]

Your mom had an emission on my face last night

[finite dragon]

Bruhh

[broken latch]

Zones emissions are like electrical discharge coils on a submarine in barotrauma

[finite dragon]

Zones emissions are like nuclear bombs but way cooler

[broken latch]

She farted on your face after eating tacobell?

[exotic mural]

You know how when you go into the swamp water you get a ton of radiation? That was me.

[gaunt burrow]

"as it turns out, the emissions affect primarily the advanced spheres of cognitive activity. **Experiments show that only humans and animals with developed cognitive processes, such as dogs and horses are susceptible to these emissions. Of the above, only humans enter a state of trance - in animals the effect is limited to a strong feeling of fear. Judging by this evidence, it would be reasonable to conclude that the emissions are geared specifically towards the human brain.**Extensive studies on "volunteers" have shown that subjects will leave the trance if given medicamental treatment. We also developed experimental devices that will protect, to a certain extent, the human brain from these emissions. According to our calculations, the source of these emissions is located in the center of Lake Yantar. The source, itself, is likely to be artificial in nature, which means that it can be disabled. There is also the danger of criminals attempting to reach the source of the emissions and gaining control over it." - Kruglov's research PDA entry, SoC

this is why I think that mutants migrate from the Radar/Red Forest regularly

[ornate rampart]

what I never got is why mutants are immune from emissions, I mean, allright that they had to for gameplay purposes, but really no mutants ever died from those?

[granite mortar]

Red Forest at night in Wind of Time

[gaunt burrow]

not necessarily because they are ordered to, but simply because they are afraid

[ornate rampart]

oh you just replied on my question

[granite mortar]

Erm
Crows die from emissions

[finite dragon]

A pseudogiant feeling fear?

[ornate rampart]

you are right, I forgot about that

[gaunt burrow]

pseudogiants are mainly in places such as Red Forest and X labs

[worthy lagoon]

Crows died

[exotic mural]

I like to think that c consciousness has a big red button that causes an emission, cartoonish red button

[worthy lagoon]

Technically also mutants should die

[ornate rampart]

yeah, just realized it

[gaunt burrow]

animals just fear emissions

[worthy lagoon]

But the problem was with a-life and lack of dedicated shelters for mutants, otherwise you'd often have mutants and stalkers in the same shelters fighting eachother

[exotic mural]

I would too bruh

[gaunt burrow]

because emissions are designed specifically towards human brains

[worthy lagoon]

Then why do crows die

[gaunt burrow]

also explains mutant migration from Radar/Red Forest

[gaunt burrow]

🤷‍♂️

[exotic mural]

you are immune?

[gaunt burrow]

you can also hear voices of other birds even though SoC encyclopedia says that crows are only bird species that survived in the Zone

[ornate rampart]

crows are evil ||but cool|| people

[gaunt burrow]

looks like a lore inconsistency

[worthy lagoon]

It's more of this gameplay issue

Especially in CoP

[exotic mural]

I mean, in soc there's ambient cat noises

[loud gate]

The Encyclopedia is lying to you. Don't trust your PDA. Do not trust the PDA. It's lying to you.

[worthy lagoon]

You can be immune to emissions

[gaunt burrow]

no one is immune to emissions. not even Scar who miraculously survived 2 emissions (not confirmed if he survived third one or not)

[exotic mural]

I was saying he had no brain silly, it was a joke

[gaunt burrow]

at least not without anabiotics

[exotic mural]

anabiotics

[gaunt burrow]

you are not funny lil bro

[worthy lagoon]

Deggy

[exotic mural]

im gonna touch you vro 💖 👅

[gaunt burrow]

give me a proof of him actually being immune to emissions

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah

Sure

https://youtu.be/1rOQSBtSgo4?si=ZbsnV2gAboJNzFml

[gaunt burrow]

yes, marked by the Zone achievement that is obtainable ONLY after you take 3 anabiotics

[worthy lagoon]

Still makes you immune to it

[gaunt burrow]

we don't even know if Deg canonically took 3 anabiotics or not

[worthy lagoon]

[worthy lagoon]

You can still become immune to it

[gaunt burrow]

developing immunity isn't the same as being immune from the start

[loud gate]

[worthy lagoon]

It's still immunity lmao

[gaunt burrow]

in any case Deg developing immunity is not an established lore element

just because he can develop immunity doesn't necessarily mean that he did lorewise

[worthy lagoon]

It's about the fact that you can become immune

So you can in fact become immune

It doesn't matter if deggy is marked or not at the end, it matters that it is possible

So yeah, you can develop immunity as proved in CoP

[celest blaze]

Only if you take it though

[worthy lagoon]

But we don't know if that only works for Deggy/certain ppl or works on everyone

Since we only get anabiotics on CoP and we have no other information about other stalkers being immune after taking 3 anabiotics

[gaunt burrow]

I asked for proof of Deg being immune even from the start. not proof of Deg being able to develop immunity (I was already well aware of that). Until Marked by the Zone achievement won't be confirmed to be canon then I won't consider it as lore element

[worthy lagoon]

[ornate rampart]

Strelok strategy vs emissions to reach the center of the Zone

[worthy lagoon]

@loud gate Is that guy hard of comprehension or what?

[ornate rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/animals-umbrella-dead-goats-gif-8873570

[broken latch]

METALLICA IS IN FORTNITE NOOOO

[worthy lagoon]

Who

[gaunt burrow]

My man I asked for proof of Deg having immunity to emissions from the start, not proof of Deg developing immunity after taking 3 anabiotics

[loud gate]

What?

[gaunt burrow]

we don't even know if that achievement is canon or not anyways

[broken latch]

Shut up, you probably just listen to Nightcore and anime osts

[loud gate]

Give me a TLDR, I wasn't paying attention

[worthy lagoon]

Do you want to make me an essay explaining to you what immunity is?

[celest blaze]

Does only monolith wear white ? I think I found a monolith dead body in that anomalous zone north of rookie village In clear sky

[worthy lagoon]

Dude is rejecting the fact that being immune to emissions is possible (marked by the zone in CoP)

[gaunt burrow]

No. I want a proof of Deg being immune to emissions in the start, way before him taking 3 anabiotics. You can't give me proof because you have none

[gaunt burrow]

i'm not saying that it's impossible, tf are you on?

[exotic mural]

Please have skif say skibidi rizz Ohio gyatt baby gronk rizzing up kai cenat, livvy dunne and Duke Dennis hitting the griddy on fanum tax island

[gaunt burrow]

but just because its possible doesn't mean Deg took 3 anabiotics

[exotic mural]

Anabiotics

[gaunt burrow]

without anabiotics and marked by the zone achievement Deg can die from emissions just as easily as other stalkers

[exotic mural]

Anabiotics

[gaunt burrow]

and that doesn't seem like immunity to me

[loud gate]

So what is the point of this arguement if you agree on each others' words

[celest blaze]

Idk why I read this as antibiotics at first lol

[ornate rampart]

Strelok was a fainting goat

this sums it up

[gaunt burrow]

his point is basically: Deg has immunity to emissions just because he could get marked by the Zone achievement (and we don't even know if he got it or not)

while I was asking for proof of Deg being immune from the start

[loud gate]

He didn't say Deg was immune to Emissions

He says stalkers could be immune.

[deft stirrup]

slight chance to survive an emission in the open

or was it 100%

[exotic mural]

Strelok literally just taking a nap 20 times in the main story

[worthy lagoon]

Aight, technically, medically and genetically speaking, Deggy could've been immune from the start and needed exposure of emissions through anabiotics, which after 3 emissions (not 3 uses of anabiotics), probably only deggy and few other ppl can get fully immune to emissions.

The fact is that it is in the game so it's canon, if my theory is true since we are talking about exposing himself to emissions and not actually thanks to the anabiotics, it means that he was immune from the beginning (immunologically speaking) and the emissions helped him to fully fledge immunity, that means it is possible to gain full immunity.

[tender torrent]

Do you think A.life system is the cause of game crashes often?

[worthy lagoon]

Immunology lessons: We are immune to every single pathogen, we need exposure and time to "activate" immunity

[ornate rampart]

I think you should never consider achievements because they are there only for gameplay reasons.
Anabiotics work against emissions but you won't get immune after 3x just because reasons

[deft stirrup]

cant wait for S2 achievements

[ornate rampart]

it's because zones are too big, especially in CoP that's why the amount of alife loaded is consequently higher

[exotic mural]

COLLECT EVERY ARTIFACT IN THE ZONE

[ornate rampart]

that's the issue with CoP stuttering

[exotic mural]

Let me put the floating lightning orb anomaly in a jar

[worthy lagoon]

Dunno

[gaunt burrow]

my gosh. what is this logic man? "the fact that it is in the game so its canon" also applies to bad wish granter endings and tons of other things that aren't considered canon. don't take any anabiotics and stay in the open in CoP and you'll die just as easily. just because something is in the game doesn't necessarily makes it lore canon

[deft stirrup]

kill every stalker in the zone

[worthy lagoon]

I am pointing out the fact that immunity exist

But eh

I guess it's too difficult for you to understand

I'm not going to waste more time on that

[ornate rampart]

if everyone took 3x anabiotics then the amount of people caring about emissions would be abysmal low since they all can reach the center of the zone

but that doesn't make much sense

[gaunt burrow]

I'm not disagreeing on that. but I still see no proof of Deg having immunity before marked by the zone achievement

[granite mortar]

can you like shut up? Your unsourced lore yapping is giving me a headache

[deft stirrup]

he literally dies all the time from emissions before u get it

[gaunt burrow]

exactly my point

Deg isn't immune to emissions in the start. he can develop it after 3 anabiotics

[worthy lagoon]

Read my statement about immunity and genetic mutation

[gaunt burrow]

and lorewise we don't even know if he did that or not

[worthy lagoon]

*After 3 emissions that were exposed thanks to anabiotics

[deft stirrup]

if u dont know thats basically how the human immune system works

[worthy lagoon]

It's about the genetics mutation and immunity

I am talking about medical stuff

[ornate rampart]

I still see that as a gimmick for gameplay reasons tbh, because turning anyone into a superhuman who can withstand emissions seems too much, regardless of immunity or whatnot.
I can see people getting it from normal illnesses but not from radiation.

[worthy lagoon]

If he gains immunity after the full exposure of 3 emissions thanks to anabiotics, it means that he was immune from the beginning and in order to "activate/use" his immunity it was necessary to be exposed to emissions

That's how our body works

We don't create immunity when we are exposed to the pathogen, we are immune to every single pathogen to begin with

[deft stirrup]

we arent talking gameplay wise rn we are talking overall

[ornate rampart]

idk, the chances for that to happen seems still very very low, but even so not so low to not allow at least another person to get immunity as well

[ornate rampart]

yeah I know, but the achievement related to it was thrown into the mix, so that's why my statement

[worthy lagoon]

But again, i think that is only valid because Deg has a genetic mutation, that probably wouldn't be possible with other stalkers

[deft stirrup]

would be cool to see the achievement system from COP into S2 would make the achievements useful

[celest blaze]

fr

[gaunt burrow]

what genetic mutation? only "special ability" of Degtyarev can be considered that: "Not so fast. We're not talking about a full analysis. For our aims we merely need to assess the resistance of your neurons to psy-emissions. A basic examination will do just fine. So... It seems that your head is in order. That is to say that you can be affected by relatively high levels of psy-emissions without losing consciousness." - Ozersky

[ornate rampart]

if they ever add them I hope you won't be able to get all of them in just 1 playthrough tbh, because of them being mutually exclusive like in cop

[exotic mural]

So true but replace stalker with duty

[deft stirrup]

i wish i could swear

[exotic mural]

I'm not even a fan of freedom i just don't fw duty at all

[deft stirrup]

u dont gotta hate on duty so much man just leave it alone

[exotic mural]

dedicate entire mission to eradicating zone

attempt to eradicate zone

get bodied

[deft stirrup]

it really just gets annoying nothing else

[celest blaze]

what has duty done for the average stalker you ask? nothing

[deft stirrup]

im not on here saying freedom sucks am i?

[exotic mural]

Caused more anomalies and made things worse lol

[worthy lagoon]

[deft stirrup]

bar probably would not have existed ungreatful

[gaunt burrow]

yes man it's funny, Shulga in CoP talks about protecting stalkers meanwhile Voronin in SoC can literally give you sidequest about killing Agroprom loners lol

not to mention loners back in 2011 literally helping Duty

[exotic mural]

EPIC rooftop to throw grenades DIRECTLY into duty hq!!!

[deft stirrup]

its fun that u can easily exploit the chairs in the freedom base to sneak in into their warehouse and grab all their loot

[exotic mural]

Tachenko's face when I throw a bomb in his doorway

[exotic mural]

I be doing this too

Free grenade launcher zomg

[gaunt burrow]

seriously whats your souce of him any genetic mutation? or you're just yapping without providing proofs?

I already provided mine above. Deg is just a normal guy

[exotic mural]

Source is crazy on a videogame discussion lol

[gaunt burrow]

other than him having more resistence to psy-emissions

[exotic mural]

Taking this too seriously

[worthy lagoon]

I'm trying to make a theory on Degtyarev development of emissions Immunity based on my medical knowledge

[deft stirrup]

medical knowledge?

[pearl olive]

you see, emissions are a little different IRL

[exotic mural]

I farted so hard it made an IRL zone now known as o block

[deft stirrup]

devices provide emissions of different Hz

or whatever it was

[pearl olive]

i don't use electronic devices

[worthy lagoon]

You don't know if Degtyarev is actually marked or not, it is possible but you cannot deny it because you haven't played S2, but we do know that Degtyarev can become fully immune to emissions in CoP, and that's why i am making a theory on why that happens and if that can only happen to him

[exotic mural]

Amish grindset

[deft stirrup]

u wanna know why ur wifi sucks more with bluetooth devices connected? radio waves intercept therefore ruining the connection

[pearl olive]

did you make it to CNPP? nah i made 3 lbs of unsalted butter

[gaunt burrow]

I provide source all the time

I have the right to demand the same from other people

[pearl olive]

i do believe any revisions to the accepted lore need to be filtered through the library of stalker (matt)

[worthy lagoon]

He's not even SurDno

[gaunt burrow]

yes. I provide proofs more often than him

[exotic mural]

She artifact on my anomaly till I stalker

[gaunt burrow]

if you were more active you'd clearly see that Kuro

[exotic mural]

Bro im just gonna say it rn, if you're this pressed over a discord argument you gotta detox

[gaunt burrow]

no disrespect to Surdno tho, he's a good guy

[exotic mural]

No hate, but its kinda cringe

[gaunt burrow]

why is it that only I provide proofs all the time?

[worthy lagoon]

I'm not interested in your discussions

[gaunt burrow]

while others are yapping without backing up any of their claims?

kinda unfair no?

[exotic mural]

Nobody is asking you to, lol

We're all here to enjoy and discuss a game series we like, there is no right or wrong

[deft stirrup]

he has provived information many times when people were wondering about stuff

[exotic mural]

Yeah and thats cool

[gaunt burrow]

hardly excludes the fact that I provide proofs all the time

[worthy lagoon]

Thank you for giving the definition of a theory

[deft stirrup]

also stalker is very hard to understand since the info isnt infront of ur eyes u have to search for it in dialouges

[exotic mural]

matpat

[deft stirrup]

thats why arguements are a thing

arguements make our lives more interesting and engaging

[exotic mural]

I have never heard someone say that

[deft stirrup]

philosophy

[exotic mural]

DLC mindset

[exotic mural]

ehhhh

[granite mortar]

there in fact is right and wrong

[gaunt burrow]

"there is no right or wrong" tell that to tons of lore misconceptions that were caused by mods

[exotic mural]

Whats wrong with mods though

[gaunt burrow]

saying there's no right or wrong about stalker lore is as hilarious as it is delusional

[deft stirrup]

people play them more and seek for lore there more often then in the originals

[exotic mural]

Thats not what I meant, please don't take my statement out of context

[granite mortar]

nothing, probelm is with how they alter peoples perception of lore

[exotic mural]

Who is people

[granite mortar]

mercs are great proof of that, same with freedom

[deft stirrup]

like 90% of the people that start playing stalker nowadays

[granite mortar]

humans

[exotic mural]

I think you are fighting ghosts right now

[gaunt burrow]

I can tell you tons of stereotypes, memes about Freedom alone that aren't true lorewise

[worthy lagoon]

A theory it is something that cannot yet be proven nor disproven but has a reasonable amount of evidence/clues

[granite mortar]

silly you
Ghost is dead, you cant fight him in the game

[exotic mural]

Wrong actually, ghost is a call of duty game. Checkmate atheist.

🧠

[gaunt burrow]

Kuro things such as Freedomers having sex with bloodsuckers, duty getting bullied by blind dogs etc etc isn't just a theory. those are literally lore misconceptions

that can be in fact be disproven (I even have posts that disproved them)

[celest blaze]

You should see the elderscrolls lore and game discussions all this is pretty tame

[exotic mural]

freedom is funny guys and posess the most valuable asset in the zone (the plug)

[deft stirrup]

just wait for S2 to release

[exotic mural]

Elder scrolls lore be like WAKE UP WAKE UP NOTHING IS REAL WAKE UP

What is chim, and why do I want it

[celest blaze]

I'm curious about this aswell

To bad they didn't sell us exp boosters or other silly things

[deft stirrup]

[celest blaze]

I bet this will honestly come in gamma/efp/anomaly 2

[pearl olive]

My guess is it will be like the trilogy

[gaunt burrow]

Honestly, the fact that mods exist may be a reason to be proud of the community. But the fact that this community is also full of people who treat these particular mods as the only thing worth attention, have little recognition and respect for the original games, recommend newbies to start with them, advertise these mods in a way that distorts the concept of the series, may expect the sequel to be akin to these mods, constantly repeat the same stupid jokes based on something that is only present in these mods, confuse canon lore with mod lore, don't know anything about other mods - of which there are hundreds - and treat any criticism of their favorite modpack as "gatekeeping" and "elitism" is at the same time the reason for many people's aversion to them

The criticism is not caused by the mere existence of these mods. It is caused by the fact that their popularity has drastically impacted the community, and not necessarily in a good way.

[pearl olive]

100% there will be Skif in a supreme hoodie within 3 days of mod support

It would be different if these youtubers insisted you play the trilogy before gamma and anomaly but they treat it as a replacement

If stalker was gamma I'd play better games honestly

[pearl olive]

i have a friend who just started the trilogy for the first time.. and he goes 'how is clear sky? Is anything different?' .. i wouldn't shut up.

guys wanna see a cool lore piece?

[granite mortar]

always

[gaunt burrow]

Red Forest/Radar NPCs in Shadow of Chernobyl talking about hearing voices in their heads in their dialoges:

"Listen, friend...Are you also hearing a voice in your head, or am I hallucinating? Keeps on murming something over and over again..." - Dialogue of Random Loner

"Do you hear a voice? Cool, just like a player in your head! Shame there's only one track though: come to me and you'll have great happiness. Two hours harping on the same thing." - Dialogue of Random Freedomer

"Damn, another one...So here's the deal. I'll try to explain for the billionth time what kind of telepathic effect people here experience. Voices not heard from the outside are constantly calling them towards the center of the Zone promising to grant every wish for the one who is able to touch...what's it called?...Oh yeah, some monolith." - Dialogue of Random Dutyer

This implies that the voice of the Monolith could somehow be heard already within Radar, and therefore possibly also in Pripyat and outside the CNPP, which is quite interesting, and would mean that the installation was a really powerful psi-emitter with a huge range. I assume that Marked One heard the voice only inside the Sarcophagus thanks to the psi-helmet.

[celest blaze]

The voice of the monolith was awesome type was such an ominous energy

[granite mortar]

[exotic mural]

[exotic mural]

I've just been playing the game and not understanding what anyone is saying aside from the dialogue

[grim palm]

eats a snork finger

[gaunt burrow]

1 day snork will eat your finger instead

[deft stirrup]

or more

[deft stirrup]

Stalker 2 trailer come to me

[exotic mural]

Snork eat my pinger???

🤤

[gaunt burrow]

I mean snorks don't discriminate

they'll eat all your body parts

[deft stirrup]

organs included

[gaunt burrow]

real

[exotic mural]

snorkussy

[gaunt burrow]

🚿

thats something bandits in Clear Sky would say ngl

[exotic mural]

is it uranium green?

[deft stirrup]

u know all of the snorks are male

well probably

but im very sure

[exotic mural]

A hole is a goal

[gaunt burrow]

nah man this guy is undercover bandit

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[gaunt burrow]

"Which Zone are you asking about? This one? This is just a children's playground compared to some other joints I've been in. A real paradise for a thief. Barbed wire and armed soldiers? Well, that's nothing. We got our own army. Move around all you want, get unlimited packages from the outside, and get hammered all you like - it's nothing but a joyride! Only problem is - no women. They don't like it here. Sometimes I get a craving so bad that even mutants start looking hot to me..." dialogue vibes

[gaunt burrow]

likewise

[deft stirrup]

lol

[exotic mural]

Can a snork consent

[deft stirrup]

can a snork speak?

[exotic mural]

Sort of...? They make noises at least.

[gaunt burrow]

them mumbling something isn't them speaking

[exotic mural]

Nah they be groaning

[gaunt burrow]

only mutant that directly interacted with us is dangerous cave controller in CoP (although it was most likely telepathic communication)

3 way split is crazy

[gaunt burrow]

@sand fiber hates Clear Sky because she's getting killed by Vist regularly

[exotic mural]

Clear Sky winning is crazy

[deft stirrup]

i like clear sky but technicaly its COP

[celest blaze]

We winning now

[gaunt burrow]

I'd also vote for Clear Sky but voting on your own polls is very wacky, ngl

[sand fiber]

jokes on you, i've beat him in ONLY half an hour

[gaunt burrow]

[celest blaze]

Honestly based take

I'm taking my time to read and ask npcs alot of things In CS it's great

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky lore goes hard af

[celest blaze]

Ong

[gaunt burrow]

speaking of Clear Sky, there's hidden character called Hermit

[pearl olive]

i'm letting my buddy make all kinds of mistakes in his first trilogy playthrough.. I feel like it's the only way to get the true experience

[gaunt burrow]

He lives in an underground tunnel located in the Stalker's settlement in Agroprom Research Institute, which can be accessed through a ladder going down in the upper left part of the camp, in the center of the four big water containers

[celest blaze]

[gaunt burrow]

kinda well hidden

but if you find him he'll have plenty of interesting dialogues

[granite mortar]

This brings me joy

[celest blaze]

I'm gonna look for him soon

[deft stirrup]

and trades

[gaunt burrow]

yeah. kinda funny how he mentions that he no longer has use for weapons and armor but literally sells upgraded weapons as well as RPG

gameplay reasons, I guess

[celest goblet]

Guess that's why he is selling them instead of keeping them

[gaunt burrow]

GSC missed a good opportunity tbh. Hermit should've had unique NPC model

default loner NPC model just doesn't fit unique character such as Hermit

[celest goblet]

Just one of many things in clear sky that deserved more time and polish

[dapper finch]

How the

I mean I love all 3 but wow

[gaunt burrow]

same, but if I had to choose I'd choose Clear Sky as my favorite because it is

[granite mortar]

CS has this comfy feel
It looks great and the story has to be my favourite
Not to mention the swamps, most fun area of the trilogy

[dapper finch]

I don't disagree, the swamps are amazing. A shame that your main incentive in the swamps is to leave

Red Forest is great too

And Limansk... ok I understand

[granite mortar]

Limansk is fun

[celest goblet]

Limansk is pretty great as a final push set piece area

[dapper finch]

And expanded Agroprom underground

[granite mortar]

Too bad we never see more of the Antenna

[ornate rampart]

I didn't find swamps so appealing tbh

[gaunt burrow]

Limansk is pretty nice imho

I just wish deserted hospital had more lore. it literally has none

[dapper finch]

I think my favourite locations though are the Pripyat plaza from SoC and Jupiter Underground from CoP

[gaunt burrow]

hate Jupiter Underground part ngl

[dapper finch]

The lore is bullets. Lots of them.

[gaunt burrow]

literally save scumming paradise

[dapper finch]

Oh the gameplay of keeping the squad alive is annoying, but the location

[gaunt burrow]

your teammates getting 1 shotted by snorks and/or accidentally hitting you and/or eachother

[celest goblet]

Enough lead to poison a small city

[dapper finch]

I really hope it shows up in S2

[gaunt burrow]

location itself is pretty nice tho

[timber violet]

Demo reviews sound very promising :)

[dapper finch]

Lorewise it's connected so heavily to the group, might be the hub of their entire enterprise

[pearl olive]

I think its on the supposed map right?

[dapper finch]

The factory is, where it should be on the west edge of pripyat

[exotic mural]

Clear sky is a minor switch up and then you get to the red forest and suddenly Garbage looks friendly

[gaunt burrow]

I have love hate relation with Clear Sky's Red Forest

[exotic mural]

If I had image perms I'd post the thousand yard stare meme

[gaunt burrow]

with SoC's Wild Territory too

[exotic mural]

Clear Sky Red Forest or Wild Territory, you may only choose one

[dapper finch]

Wild Territory is the only reason I used to like SoC Complete, because of a spawn bug.

You'd get periodically swarmed by a crazy number of mutants so had to get to high ground

[gaunt burrow]

I'd choose Wild Territory then

Detroit of the Zone

[exotic mural]

I enjoy Rostok because it is a 9x39 printer

I also really enjoyed the arena.

[dapper finch]

Wild Territory has the annoying fire anomaly but otherwise I really like it

[gaunt burrow]

Rostok is great

[exotic mural]

Arena should come back in s2 bro PLEAAAASE

[pearl olive]

It actually says Jupiter Underground on the top left of the S2 map

[dapper finch]

😄 I wonder if they'll hook it up to more locations.

[pearl olive]

probably not pripyat this time

[ornate rampart]

ngl Red Forest will still always scare the crap out of you because of the psy dog pack and at night the occasional bloodsucker

[dapper finch]

I mean canonically you went through it in CS and so did Strelok

[exotic mural]

How long do you guys think S2 is going to be? The stalker games are relatively short if you just focus on the main game.

[pearl olive]

oh wait im dumb it IS still next to pripyat

[velvet spire]

any news about collectors edition preorder release date ?

[gaunt burrow]

long af

[dapper finch]

IRL it's on the west edge of Pripyat, with CoP they slung it across further West to go with Yaniv

[loud gate]

Only main story is about 40h

[exotic mural]

WHAAAAAAT

[dapper finch]

I just hope there's no point of no return

[loud gate]

One playtrough, focusing just on main story ofc. The game will have 4 endings and a lot, a lot of side quests. Easily 300h+ game.

(to fully 100% everything)

[gaunt burrow]

Call of Pripyat map is more accurate to real life Chernobyl afaik

[ornate rampart]

heard nothing new, last thing I know was this #⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[dapper finch]

I mean the Yanov map. CoP's Pripyat is just the Eastern side of it

[velvet spire]

big oof

[exotic mural]

Skyrim 2020s edition

[gaunt burrow]

4 endings hmmm

[ornate rampart]

let's hope end of the next week we have it

[exotic mural]

Stalker 2 should let me take a bite out of the elephant foot

[velvet spire]

thats a big hopes

[exotic mural]

Mmmm... feet 🤤

[loud gate]

500 mybe a bit much, but I think so tbh

[ornate rampart]

yeah tbh I'd be doing a countdown for that than for the S2 release

[velvet spire]

if it will be 100 hours like witcher or red dead it be perfect
with sidequests and explorations

[loud gate]

Well, it will be.

[gaunt burrow]

Red Dead 2's main story alone can take 40-60 hours to complete. I figure S2's main story is gonna be similar scenario

[ornate rampart]

ot: seems red dead 1 will come out soon for PC, and if so I'm so damn glad

[velvet spire]

yeah i never purchase usually collectors edition
stalker will be my first one

always was in love with the franchise since my childhood

[velvet spire]

didnt they cancel that project in the end ?

[ornate rampart]

yeah I get the feeling as well

[velvet spire]

yep

[loud gate]

Should be pretty soon, check your local stores too.

[velvet spire]

i hope

[ornate rampart]

not sure tbh, other than the fiasco of the demaster for the switch
The only thing I read was this https://x.com/TezFunz2/status/1790031522315026508 but it could be still some twitter alluminium cap theory

[velvet spire]

hmmm interesting, cause i remember year or two ago they said they wont continue with it in the end, guess they changed their mind

[ornate rampart]

if money flows that would be probably the reason

I wanted to play it but having to setup PCSX3 and dealing with their discord made me change my mind

like if everyone there had a legit PS3 bios or anything, yeah sure

[velvet spire]

same

[drifting shard]

What would they even give for a collectors edition after all the other editions?

A fake anomaly detector or smth?

[loud gate]

???

[fluid abyss]

A genetic clone of Strelok

talking about bolts and rust
i still having that physical box of stalker shadow of chernobyl

[drifting shard]

Thanks

[velvet spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJvPKk0fL8w

this one

[ornate rampart]

that's neat, I miss the time when physicals still had paper guides in it

[velvet spire]

yeah the rust on the box is well made

[exotic mural]

S2 looks great, I'm so excited for it to be pushed back 7 more years

[ornate rampart]

now that you said that you counter-jinxed it, it will release 5 sept as final date

but tbh I wouldn't have minded if they pushed it further

I can wait and it would give me def more hope about new pre orders

[pearl olive]

you shut your mouth right now

[sand fiber]

true tbh! what even is stalker if not major conceptual changes mid-development

[exotic mural]

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

[timber violet]

you can say that about any release then and there will never be a really "perfect" time to release the game but there is one for having the basics done

I honestly think a month or so into the release will be the best time to start playing because MANY people will report bugs and GSC will focus on the major ones first

[ornate rampart]

but tbh I wouldn't have minded if they pushed it further

I can see why everyone else would not have the same opinion

[timber violet]

Im fine with whatever we get now, im sure ill have multiple playthroughs so ill get to experience it in a "fixed" way aswell.

But im probably in the minority(or us in the minority) most people who are new to stalker wont play it more than once if any at all

[ornate rampart]

my guts tells me it will take an insane amount of time before stalker fans gets bored by S2

otherwise we wouldn't have replayed the trilogy multiple times to begin with

[amber tendon]

can your guts also predict terroristic attacks by any chance

asking for a friend

[sand fiber]

swwet, ty

[pale pivot]

apparently ppl are saying that the demo at sgf was kinda bad and were like 2.5 months away

it could be that its the same demo from last year

[junior creek]

Who said that?

[amber tendon]

boooooooowooooooomp

[old jungle]

most people actually have good impressions of it

[amber tendon]

yaaaaaaaaaaay

[old jungle]

and no, it is not the same demo

[pale pivot]

this dude for one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMhM7msI69A&t=641s

but there are others i saw around reddit and youtube but i wasn't there so i cant be certain. most of the issues people said they had were bugs and stuttering but that could be fixed

[pale pivot]

thats good to hear. it could be that the computer running the game was messed up or sum

[gaunt burrow]

Luke Stephens

[old jungle]

he just has skill issue and is being demolished in the comments 😆

[junior creek]

He complained about the anomaly system

[pale pivot]

LMAO

i didnt even look at the comments

[gaunt burrow]

Basically this

[old jungle]

The new demo has the entire beginning of the game, with opening cutscene and everything. Hell, it even might be the full pre-release game.

[pale pivot]

alr well that's reassuring

[junior creek]

I read two polish reviews. They were positive, only problem was with small frame rate drops

[exotic mural]

Please GSC if you can hear me, make guns actually shoot where you aim them, please GSC if you can hear me, please GSC

[amber tendon]

don't take opinions from youtubers (sorry anomalous), wait for release

[pale pivot]

even if the game has some bugs here and there im fine with that since the devs went thru a hard time and most games nowadays release pretty buggy

[exotic mural]

Any playtesters in the chat can confirm or deny that guns will infact shoot where you aim them

[ornate rampart]

thanks for showing me that channel so I can avoid it like the plague now

[old jungle]

I prefer to present facts than share my opinion

[deft stirrup]

oh yeah that luke guy has a major skill issue and is roasted in the comments

[pale pivot]

i did take his opinion with a grain of salt but i gotta see if i can find other people's accounts on how the demo was

[exotic mural]

Me when I walk into the orb of floating electricity (I GOT ELECTROCUTED 😱)

[deft stirrup]

like that guy never played stalker in his life

[exotic mural]

Doesn't like, every trailer showcase anomalies being dangerous

[exotic mural]

Yes, thats what I was referencing. Luke is a goober.

[amber tendon]

I am bias towards believing the game is good, listening to a dude who sees stalker 2 for the first time expectadly can get mixed reactions

[deft stirrup]

doesnt every single stalker game feature anomalies the guy doesnt even know how they are called

[amber tendon]

who sees stalker in general*

[exotic mural]

No, Stalker: Cloudy Atmosphere has no anomalies

[old jungle]

It's kinda disappointing that all the reviews of the new demo so far seems to have been made by people who did not play or only played very little of the OGs

[pale pivot]

yea he complained how the anomaly system worked and that was funny to see but he also said the game was a stutterfest and thats what i was sorta worried abt but again that can be fixed with time

[old jungle]

Yes, same for me to be honest

[exotic mural]

As well as Obstruction Of Light Via Nuclear Powerplant and Beckoning Of City

[pale pivot]

TRAILER THEME

TRAILER THEME WOOWOWKOW

[hardy bear]

Related to this, but when are we getting our next game soundtrack drop! Those were great!

[deft stirrup]

bro thinks the artefact detector is a geiger counter smh

[exotic mural]

Well... it is

[deft stirrup]

its even better then a geiger counter

[exotic mural]

30 seconds ago

[amber tendon]

Facing the facts only people in post warsaw pact countries recognize the game and northern countries. "Filthy americans" (jk) won't resonate with the game without living or seeing depressing post soviet live.

[ornate rampart]

ooh they fitted in old sounds, nice

[loud gate]

"ppl" is only one guy called Luke Stephens who didn't even know what he played lmao

[hardy bear]

That’s a trailer piece, not soundtrack piece, that’s what I was getting at

[deft stirrup]

he literally doesnt even know what stalker is

[old jungle]

I know many huge fans that are Western

[still ridge]

complaining about a core mechanic is hilarious

[deft stirrup]

he cant realize that electro anomalies tend to move around and or discharge

[exotic mural]

Me when I'm just like actually wrong

[amber tendon]

I mean what I am trying to say, western audiance sees the game as post apocalyptic while others are living in it

[amber tendon]

most likely I am

[old jungle]

Post disaster

[still ridge]

bro thinks the zone is real

[amber tendon]

it is

[exotic mural]

CONFIRMED: EUROPE IS UNINHABITABLE

Yet another W for the great continents of America

[still ridge]

all we do is win

[exotic mural]

Anyways, as I was asking, is there any playtesters here

[old jungle]

[pale pivot]

lmao yea i saw some people on reddit claim they tried the demo and say it was rough around the edges (but its reddit soo im not gonna take it seriously). and even if the game was buggy or whatnot, that can be fixed over time. id be more surprised if the game didnt get released super buggy

[glossy hound]

@azure nimbus any 100% info, which PC platform will be in Ultimate physical editions? Steam? thx

[still ridge]

Anomalous played at gamescom I think, but they can't say too much anyway

that's not playtester but still

[exotic mural]

@old jungle do the guns shoot where you aim them

That shouldn't be NDA right

[old jungle]

What does that even mean?

[still ridge]

no, they shoot when you press the lmb

not when you aim

[old jungle]

[pale pivot]

damn mozi 😢

[clever raft]

👀

[loud gate]

Thanks wolf for deleting my articles I sent

I'll just send in DM

[deft stirrup]

look what i found #📸┃screens_and_videos

[sour acorn]

Will the sys requirements remain the same?

[glossy blade]

@nimble cipher kudos to you, my brother

[still ridge]

send me one I can send it in chat

[pale pivot]

👍

[still ridge]

not 10

[broken latch]

Why does S2 osts sound like BF4 and not stalker

[glossy blade]

always on a duty

[loud gate]

https://tenor.com/view/crocodile-explosion-crocodile-explodes-gif-24974592

[still ridge]

maybe 1

[exotic mural]

You know how when you aim in stalker and shoot and your bullet goes 8 meters to the left of your scope's center? Is that still the case

[pale pivot]

duty gonna take over the world just u wait

[deft stirrup]

ofc they shoot where u aim unless it has a lil bit of spread did u watch the trailers to see the gunplay?

[sour acorn]

@azure nimbus Will the sys requirements remain the same?

[broken latch]

[glossy blade]

if we will decide to change them we will let all stalkers know

[exotic mural]

Its hard to gage the accuracy when you arent the one playing

[old jungle]

I'm not sure what you are talking about... weapon spread? Obviously there's always a bit of it.

[sour acorn]

thx

[exotic mural]

The most frustrating part of stalker is the gunplay imo

Bullet no go where I click bullet to go, it feels like everything has an effective range of 10m

[still ridge]

just for reference here is one of mozi's messages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaQTtceUrH0

[old jungle]

Try single fire and crouch when shooting

[exotic mural]

I do and it still isn't accurate :(

[calm bough]

cant wait for Anomalous video about the trailer

[deft stirrup]

learn to use it to ur advantage

[amber tendon]

IGN HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[old jungle]

Never really had this issue. Maybe get closer to the enemy?

[loud gate]

post Gamespot, it's the best one

[still ridge]

still coming from a new player that didn't compliain about core mechanics

[ornate rampart]

what game? going full auto or short burst? did you mod your weapon if CS or CoP?

[exotic mural]

I click ( + ) and the bullet goes ---->

[still ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmUQR6o_YGE more credible than IGN

[amber tendon]

having bias against them

[exotic mural]

SoC and CS

[deft stirrup]

yes that one i just sent lol

[exotic mural]

Pile of garbage 1 vs pile of garbage 2 lol

[deft stirrup]

no its not a pile of garbage

[exotic mural]

Ironically it feels like full auto is more accurate than single :/

[still ridge]

ok tell that to mozi because he sent 10 sources maybe one of them isn't, IDK

lol

[deft stirrup]

the guy actually likes S2 that talks about it

[exotic mural]

I do not care for videogame journalists.

[deft stirrup]

he says very good things about stalker

[ornate rampart]

for Soc as others already suggested crouch and stop while firing, also do short burst. For CS same thing but especially mod your weapons, because natively they took SoC weapons and made them worse if not modded

[deft stirrup]

some clear sky weapons shoot in a different dirrection when u aim down but if u aim at the right angle u can use the spread to hit ur shots

[exotic mural]

Which factions can mod the VSS

[deft stirrup]

duty?

[exotic mural]

Duty?

[deft stirrup]

lol

[still ridge]

@old jungle timeline on new video? or is that NDA

[pale pivot]

watching that rn. rdr is one of my fav franchises ever and how attentive it is so to see him describe stalker 2 in that way made me feel 🤤

[deft stirrup]

he even mentions the og trilogy 😮

[indigo marsh]

Duty, freedom, and the bandits

[exotic mural]

Okay well I've wiped one of these off the map already so damn

[polar orchid]

game journalists tho lol

[exotic mural]

Freedom is homies

I have the urge to shoot every duty member i see but I am refraining

[deft stirrup]

gamespot gave a good review

[polar orchid]

of course they did

[deft stirrup]

can u just stop with the whole duty and freedom thing its just so annoying ur not funny or cool ur just an annoying prick by repeating it

[pale pivot]

its like "radaway"

[deft stirrup]

i get it u like sucking off freedom but u gotta stop

[still ridge]

faction beef LMAO

[exotic mural]

Player when the game about factions not liking eachother has players in other factions not liking the enemy faction:

[pale pivot]

late 2024-2025 gonna be fire

stalker 2, kcd2, gta6, bo6, and trump

[exotic mural]

I'm not even a member of freedom they're just objectively better than duty

[deft stirrup]

its not so much the fact that its freedom and duty its more the constant repeating of like oh yeah i wanna kill every single dutyer i see in all of the games

[exotic mural]

TRUMP GAME?

[deft stirrup]

cool man u dont gotta always say i wanna kill duty badly just shut up, simple

[indigo marsh]

*subjectively

[deft stirrup]

what

[exotic mural]

Objectively*

[polar orchid]

i cant wait to see how s2 performs

[worthy lagoon]

@hazy helm @sand fiber

death stranding 2, fable

i really hope my pc isnt gonna melt playing it

[worthy lagoon]

@pseudo rivet

[exotic mural]

What's ur rig

[hazy helm]

yhea we getting death animations abck

[worthy lagoon]

No, read the subtitles

[polar orchid]

4080 but it tends to get uncomfortably hot playing ue5 games

[worthy lagoon]

It's an interview of the dudes who played the demo

[bitter moth]

Is there sight on when Stalker2 will drop ?

[pale pivot]

september 5

[exotic mural]

CPU?

[worthy lagoon]

S2 grenade spam just like in Clear Sky

Finally

the experience i wanted

[exotic mural]

What specific gpu btw

[bitter moth]

Dont tease me ... seriously?

[exotic mural]

Yuh

[worthy lagoon]

yeah, September 5th 2024

[bitter moth]

major erection incoming

[polar orchid]

i9 13900hx

[pale pivot]

nah they gonna delay to september 6th

[exotic mural]

Lol

[drifting shard]

Isn’t the recommended card a 2070? Is that at all accurate lmfao

[polar orchid]

everything i play runs cool apart from ue5 games and arma reforger lol

[exotic mural]

What specific gpu do u have

And whats your cooling setup

[polar orchid]

i dunno its a 4080 laptop

[exotic mural]

I have a ROG OC 4070ti which runs so cool that the fans rarely ever kick on

[exotic mural]

This.... is the problem.

That should've been your first mention lol, laptops notoriously run very very hot.

Throw that mf in your freezer and attach a monitor and keyboard

[polar orchid]

sure but most games dont

[exotic mural]

Uh. No. Its a laptop thing. They run hot.

[polar orchid]

this laptop just breezes through most games, nothing but cool air coming out, the fans dont even come on

[exotic mural]

Under load a tower can utilize fans and or liquid to displace heat, laptops are kind of a box with a heat sink

[exotic mural]

Most games aren't going to be as demanding

What games are you playing

[polar orchid]

yeah i know. but ue5 is like a leap forward in terms of heat

[polar orchid]

everything

[exotic mural]

Thats really... not helpful

[polar orchid]

even if i cap the frames lower, ue5 still racks up insane heat lol

[exotic mural]

My PC handles UE5 just fine, its a laptop thing

Again, more demand = more electricity = more heat = hot

[calm bough]

4080 super is .. super

[exotic mural]

Mobile cards are also very different to tower cards

[polar orchid]

yah. i dont like towers tho, i cant move away from my desk or leave the house with them lol

[prime spade]

I will always find a way to transport my desktop with me

[exotic mural]

If im ever staying anywhere i can pack up my pc

They're not immovable monoliths, unless you cant pick it up. Gym issue

[nimble cipher]

driftingt80u has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lilac wind]

i want to play the game but i can't tolerate the base game gunplay *empty whole clip in enemy head with no feed back
i want to know what modpack offer better gameplay and stay closer to a story
like anomaly/gamma for example

[prime spade]

forgot that wolf was opinionated

[sand fiber]

it's joever....

[polar orchid]

im out of the house at least twice a week making music. bringing an entire pc with me isnt ideal

[sand fiber]

No mod does, every stalker mod is a total conversion game
The closest you can get to "Vanilla improved" is Gunslinger + OGSR

my only fear is the sidepanel glass, I like to take it off alongside the GPU, but one wrong hit to the corners and that thing will just combust

i hate moving a pc, especially if the gpu is big n heavy, need to reenforce the support of some components lol

[exotic mural]

Just lay it on its side lol

Yall driving crazy if your pc components are falling out

[prime spade]

I put mine in the back seat and put it on the floor, it's like taking a dog with you to travel

[lilac wind]

i'll look at that

[prime spade]

except less mobile

[polar orchid]

i just buy laptops

i dont game as much as i make music

[prime spade]

I used to get laptops, but then I pretty much said screw it when I would start burning my legs

[polar orchid]

where you putting your mouse if the laptop is on your legs?

get a tray

[worthy lagoon]

Shoot at the head

[hazy helm]

OGSR GA is not a "vanilla improved" version of the game, it is its own thing

it adds its own mechanics with tis own main quests and completely new side quests and balancing

[exotic mural]

You wont believe it but there's a thing called a trackpad

[polar orchid]

my buddy and i, we build custom trays and leave them at eachothers houses lol

[worthy lagoon]

That wil filter a lot of people, i'm happy, give us the grenade spam back

[polar orchid]

you game on that?

[old jungle]

script is 50% done

[worthy lagoon]

What will it be about?

[exotic mural]

Hell naw I'm not broke i have a tower

[worthy lagoon]

[old jungle]

trailer breakdown, very original I know

[exotic mural]

Its called a RIG, MOM.

[worthy lagoon]

Ohh nice

[exotic mural]

Daring today, aren't we

[polar orchid]

yah but dude said he was burning his legs with his laptop... must be gaming ona trackpad or using his mouse on a sofa arm lol

if i wanna go sit on my sofa, i have a big ass tray, its like a mini desk, got a cup holder on it too

[lilac wind]

i wont play the base game without a good gun revamp

[celest blaze]

That's really silly lol

[hazy helm]

if you dont like the games there is nothing you can do
you just dont like stalker

[celest blaze]

Fr should play something else

[lilac wind]

its the being a old game that the problem

[celest blaze]

It's fine though?

[hazy helm]

whats the problem?
I see absolutely none

[celest blaze]

It's more a skill issue then anything no offense

[hazy helm]

I dont know waht youre talking about

[exotic mural]

The gunplay in stalker is NOT GREAT let's be real here guys

[hazy helm]

youre the gun meme guy

[polar orchid]

i agree. needs mag management

[hazy helm]

youd be shilling stalker if it had a SKS

[lilac wind]

no hit feed back aparently if you go easyer difficulty you make alot less damage just to force you to play on harder
pain animation aparently prevent damage to be dealt to enemy

[celest blaze]

People play master difficulty no mods just fine btw

[lilac wind]

ofc the easier is actualy harder

[hazy helm]

youre fucking wrong tho, playing at lower difficulties will result in dealing more damage

[sand fiber]

More a you problem than anything, but i looked and there are some weapon packs for vanilla, look into FWR and STCS/STCOP

[worthy lagoon]

S2 will most likely have the same gunplay

[hazy helm]

someboy unpinned the fucking diff chart

hang on

[polar orchid]

when you can quick save twice at every turn in a game, there's no reason to not play on hard difficulties

[celest blaze]

The gunplay honestly is fine for what it is

[lilac wind]

i can't talk for a game not out and not tried

[loud gate]

who told you that

[lilac wind]

bunch of reddit post

[worthy lagoon]

Easy difficulty will increase the damage though

[loud gate]

lmao

[hazy helm]

The game is very easy, plus if you find difficulty lower the difficulty

it is not some kind of hidden voodoo shit

it will, supprisignly, make the game easier

like

what its supposed to do

[celest blaze]

The issue is listening to redditors

[exotic mural]

So true.

[lilac wind]

btw how you repair gun ?

[exotic mural]

In soc?

[hazy helm]

in SOC you dont
In CS and CoP you need to go to a mechanic

[worthy lagoon]

^

[celest blaze]

^

[lilac wind]

i see

[exotic mural]

Throw that mf on the ground haha

[worthy lagoon]

However in SoC guns rarely get damaged compared to CS and Cop

[exotic mural]

Real

[worthy lagoon]

Same for the armour

[gaunt burrow]

hey man I'm also redditor but I can actually back up my claims

[exotic mural]

Armor not so much but you can repair in soc

[celest blaze]

True haha you're one of the based ones and not a shitter

[lilac wind]

soc tried to take down the military patrol south of starter camp with first auto rifle you get by the bridge dude
and i take like 45 bullet to kill

[sand fiber]

shoot the heads and approach this game as an RPG more than anything

[hazy helm]

I dont see how revealijng your skill issue does to your argument

[celest blaze]

Lol

[lilac wind]

skill issue there no feedback on hit

[normal bobcat]

Have you tried rushing them with a knife?

[worthy lagoon]

Crouch and aim at their heads

[celest blaze]

There isn't feedback in arma either they just drop if you shoot in the head

[lilac wind]

ofc

[normal bobcat]

Knife messes them up easy

[worthy lagoon]

I love you

[hazy helm]

you dont need feedback on hit, you dont need a sound or a little artifact to pop up when you hit smth
if you want to acctually kill them get closer and shoot their head

they will go down more easely

besides

[polar orchid]

just kill absolutely everyone. my zone. gtfo.

[hazy helm]

you dont need to kill the miltiary, at this point you are underprepared and underskilled

[celest blaze]

Hit markers are modern crutch

[hazy helm]

go to the Dump

[lilac wind]

i played many fps game its not a skill issue

[hazy helm]

then why you complaining about your lack of aim brother

[celest blaze]

Much like zombies always aim for the head

[lilac wind]

not lack of aim the gun can't hit where i aim

[celest blaze]

You'll need to esp when you fight monolith

[hazy helm]

like i said, shoot closer and dont spray and pray

early level guns aint good and you arent going to go rambo without good supplies

[lilac wind]

i am less than 50m from them ? i'll have to check the distance

[sand fiber]

get closer or tap-fire then

[celest blaze]

^ I always turn autos into semi autos tbh

[lilac wind]

rebinded that firemod key who use 0 for that X_X

[celest blaze]

Tap firing for heads is nice auto spray is only good for getting rushed

[gaunt burrow]

honestly? get 4400 and go buy Viper 5

[hazy helm]

me

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-happy-jumping-gif-26555219

[gaunt burrow]

cheap, easy to use, has common ammo

very good gun

[hazy helm]

matt

why dont you play NA7

[gaunt burrow]

replying the trilogy for the fifth time

[lilac wind]

i was less than 20m from them

[gaunt burrow]

only CoP left rn

[hazy helm]

then its a massive skill issue
nothing to be done

[celest blaze]

What you need to do is avoid the IL 86 it's shit

[lilac wind]

i headshot everything in farcry 6

[normal bobcat]

farcry 6

[sand fiber]

stalker isn't far cry

[hazy helm]

well good thing youre not playing shit cry 6 anymore

[lilac wind]

yeah got sick of blackops farming solo

[sand fiber]

once again, approach this game as a science-fiction RPG-lite and not "REALISTIC MILITARY SURVIVAL GAME!!!"

[celest blaze]

^^^

[lilac wind]

how you skip night then

[normal bobcat]

You don't.

[celest blaze]

^ not possible in vanilla

I like the night makes it spookier

[sand fiber]

you can only sleep in CoP

[gaunt burrow]

what Nozar said

[granite mortar]

thats a myth

[celest blaze]

Oh yeah I forgot about cop

[lilac wind]

that why its apparently not like i can test it out

[granite mortar]

You can extract values from configs

[hazy helm]

we looked at the files it just aint true

https://tenor.com/view/math-numbers-confused-when-he-say-hes-straight-what-gif-7675506

[celest blaze]

Man I am PUMPED

I'm tempted to use the last of my holidays to book off and play stalker 2

[lilac wind]

its the stuning animation

[flint grail]

I took 2 days PTO for it

[celest blaze]

Based choice

[worthy lagoon]

You can

||jump in whirligig anomaly||

[ripe hinge]

@worthy lagoon is my shawty

[worthy lagoon]

What

[normal bobcat]

I cant wait to play it too

[worthy lagoon]

50€

[gaunt burrow]

bros falling for Discord users who have anime girls as their profile pictures 😭

[normal bobcat]

ignore him

[ripe hinge]

Yeah of course

[gaunt burrow]

yuri

[worthy lagoon]

You know him?

[granite mortar]

real

[gaunt burrow]

yuri... ||tarded||

[ripe hinge]

No clue what it means

[celest blaze]

Keep in mind most anime girl pfp users are men

[gaunt burrow]

yuri... tarded

[ripe hinge]

Cuz I dont watch anime

[celest blaze]

Same with cat users

[sand fiber]

if there are slavic men named yuri then there must be slavic women named yaoi

[worthy lagoon]

Which is basically you

[ripe hinge]

Slavic women are ugly

[still ridge]

[ripe hinge]

Wdym, I've seen @sand fiber, she's hella cute

[stuck pewter]

[ripe hinge]

me when half the discord cant meet minimum requirements to run stalker 2

[sour acorn]

yes

or burer

[stuck pewter]

me when a huge chunk of the discord is still running windows 7

[gaunt burrow]

at least you guys got CDs

[celest blaze]

To be fair not alot of folk are constantly upgrading pcs

[gaunt burrow]

||C Deez Nutz||

[ripe hinge]

Ngl Win 11 looks vile I upgraded to that mf then just backupped back to 10

[normal bobcat]

I mean its better than running 10

[calm bough]

[celest blaze]

10 is better imo

[normal bobcat]

10 is just spyware, as is 11

[elder laurel]

SOC bandit camp extermination is bugged

[stuck pewter]

i prefer 10 because all people ive seen say "10 is spyware" almost always use linux

[ripe hinge]

If you spent saved 50 bucks each month from the initial release date youd have a top shelf gaming pc by now

[elder laurel]

Then again i can kill them all over with my lovely GP37

[ripe hinge]

Mate half the people that use linux think they're hackers

[elder laurel]

[ripe hinge]

But do not know that kali linux is just debian w premade installations 😭

[celest blaze]

Everything is Spyware tbh tencent ( which is influenced by the Chinese communist party ) has shares in discord

[stuck pewter]

but thats 50 bucks i could be spending on cigs each month

[worthy lagoon]

At least i can unistall copilot

[ripe hinge]

I smoke 2-3 packs a day

[celest blaze]

Bro that's gross

[worthy lagoon]

The main problem are the browsers

[stuck pewter]

the term "spyware" means nothing to me

[worthy lagoon]

That's why i disable JavaScript

[ripe hinge]

My lungs are made from steel you wouldnt get it

[stuck pewter]

because if you have a digital footprint of any significant kind, its just a fact of life

[celest blaze]

Same tbh

[stuck pewter]

minimizing it does jack shit when they already know

[worthy lagoon]

We'll see about that in a couple of years when you'll get COPD

[ripe hinge]

If you ever had facebook theres ur first digital footprint why bother about online security when you already exist on the internet

[celest blaze]

Most govs spy on their citizens and if you use debit/credit you leave a trail of what you do

[ripe hinge]

Sure bud

[stuck pewter]

yup

[gaunt burrow]

I'm curious, do you know how horrible smell is? There is no way smokers can know how bad they stink

[celest blaze]

Bro makes people's eyes water in a 50 foot radius

[ripe hinge]

Simply steal others cards and use them

[still ridge]

Me when lie

[stuck pewter]

i dont think it smells bad per say

[ripe hinge]

It actually depends from people to people and the type of cigarette

[still ridge]

Imagine lying about being deathly addicted to cigarettes

[stuck pewter]

its more that my body literally cannot handle breathing it in

[ripe hinge]

No I deadass smoke 2-3 packs depends

[celest blaze]

Smoking is such a waste

[gaunt burrow]

real

[ripe hinge]

Sobranie Black KS

[stuck pewter]

it irritates my throat like i have a bad cough

[still ridge]

Hey @glossy blade

Cigarettes in stalker 2?

[ripe hinge]

Thats the least of worst things I do

[stuck pewter]

GAMMA 2

[still ridge]

The people want to chuff a pack after drinking an entire vodka bottle

[stuck pewter]
