Sounds like CoP

[pseudo rivet]

Mozi try playing with upgraded IL 86

[gaunt burrow]

Seriously tho, test it

[loud gate]

I refuse to, Thunder supremacy

[pseudo rivet]

Fr dawg, test it

[elfin echo]

The IL is ugly

[loud gate]

This

[elfin echo]

That's why i don't use it

[pseudo rivet]

Tunder S14* 🤓

[finite dragon]

Right

Who doesn't like a poor man's sniper

[naive fog]

Thanks man can you send it? Imma compare it with the one I'm using rn

[loud gate]

STOC, how does Stalker multiplayer trailer sounds like

[worn oar]

check #📸┃screens_and_videos

[naive fog]

Ight thanks

[gaunt burrow]

I don't mind it tbh

[pseudo rivet]

If HoC, then neat asf

[naive fog]

It's good but nobody was using this one I think imma stay with the money spread, thanks tho

[loud gate]

You have no idea how amazing CoP's Vehicle Station is

[worn oar]

will it use our deathmatches for materials?

[celest goblet]

Never really got to try the MP in the original gamea

[still ridge]

Not before gameplay vid

[indigo marsh]

A lot of bullpups are ugly

[pseudo rivet]

Good thing we already got one

[pseudo rivet]

IL 86, my beloved

[elfin echo]

tell me a bullpup that isn't ugly

[pseudo rivet]

IL 86

[elfin echo]

shut

[pseudo rivet]

Massive cope

[indigo marsh]

M1911

[worn oar]

You should try one go with us then

[gaunt burrow]

Crimson is upgraded IL any good in Clear Sky?

[finite dragon]

Homemade slam fire shotgun

[pseudo rivet]

Wanted to try it out, but haven't yet. Reliability is pretty ouch, though

[still ridge]

Proper one to make people stfu about not having uncut gameplay

[pseudo rivet]

I'm too high on that SGI-5k copium

[pseudo rivet]

Fair, I'd like that

Ngl, it'd be cool to see the IL 86 replaced with the IRL L85A2 in HoC

[still ridge]

All I want is a 10 minute video of world traversal with the core gameplay loop of explore, shoot muties, kill bandits, find artifacts, interact with friendly NPCs

[pseudo rivet]

A more modern version of it for a Zone far in the future of the Trilogy

[gaunt burrow]

More guns are welcomed too

[indigo marsh]

Technically pistols are bullpups.The magazine is behind the trigger, so it's a bullpup

[still ridge]

It’s coming eventually

Maybe not 10 minutes

[worn oar]

@naive fog liked it?

[naive fog]

It's good but idk I think the money spread might be better

[gaunt burrow]

"Is this kid getting jerky with me" - Richie Aprile from The Sopranos (trpes reaction, probably)

[pseudo rivet]

I'd love more 9x18mm pistols, ngl

[naive fog]

I think imma stay with this one

[still ridge]

I’d like the GP37 to get the grenade launcher too

[gaunt burrow]

That'd be dream come true

[naive fog]

The suppressed grenade launcher for the AKS-74U would be funny

[still ridge]

We got APS

[naive fog]

Stealth

[gaunt burrow]

Who cares about stealth tbh (except minority of people)

[pseudo rivet]

IL 86 stealth, my beloved

[gaunt burrow]

Sniper VLA, my beloved

[pseudo rivet]

Why even use a Vintar BC or Tide when the IL 86 exists

[worn oar]

Yeah, the one you are using now is better ig

[naive fog]

I liked how everything was laid out in the Metro series, especially on the hardest difficulty when stealth was necessary

[pseudo rivet]

Legit, killing someone in a group with the IL 86 with a silencer and the other NPCs are just "Oh, my buddy died. Time to loot! "

[gaunt burrow]

[pseudo rivet]

And that for just a single 5.45 round

Poor man's sniper rifle, my beloved

[granite mortar]

What about CZ 75 Auto?

[loud gate]

It would be done in another way

You will see.

[indigo marsh]

Doesn't exist in my eyes. And the tec 9 too

[broken latch]

where are cats

[worn oar]

can't wait to see it

[broken latch]

this is #en_cats

[pseudo rivet]

Mol1t still hasn't added them

We need Bayun

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

Omg

[indigo marsh]

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

No embed?

[still ridge]

It’s fed by magazine in the handle

The mag in front does not feed into the weapon.

[pseudo rivet]

No embed

[gaunt burrow]

Oh yeah, when level 100? @pseudo rivet

[granite mortar]

Shhhh
They dont have to know that

[pseudo rivet]

Soon™️

I haven't been THAT active lately

Perhaps I should talk more about my IL 86 obsession around here

That or Warhammer

[granite mortar]

Turn it into cat obsession

[gaunt burrow]

Talk about our lord and saviour, the Monolith

[pseudo rivet]

Or C&C

[granite mortar]

Monokit?

[gaunt burrow]

Homolith 🗿

[pseudo rivet]

Omg Monokitty!!! 😊

[gaunt burrow]

Crimson you posted cringe

[granite mortar]

Wheres the video of cat hugging monolith lamp when you need it

[pseudo rivet]

No, I haven't

[gaunt burrow]

[pseudo rivet]

You want to see cringe?

[gaunt burrow]

I already did

[pseudo rivet]

Monokitty, I love you so much!!! UwU

[gaunt burrow]

"Insert crying Walter White GIF"

[pseudo rivet]

And that's just my poorest attempt

[granite mortar]

Mowokitty I wove you wo muwch UwU

[gaunt burrow]

[indigo marsh]

What super marine legionsare your top 3

[granite mortar]

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, something like that

[pseudo rivet]

1. Dark Angels

[gaunt burrow]

"Time to abandon the ship" leaves the chat

[granite mortar]

Dont abandon Noahs Ark!
Mutant wave is coming

[pseudo rivet]

As for 2. and 3., probably Iron Hands and Raven Guard? Not sure

[still ridge]

We’ve seen like 10 so far lol

[gaunt burrow]

The more the merrier

[still ridge]

HK416 (seems to be the replacement for TRs-301) Vulcan-M, MAC-10, OTs-02, Vector, R870, R700, APS, IWI Carmel, M14

[pseudo rivet]

At least, from what I've seen lore and tabletop-wise, they seem interesting

[still ridge]

That’s 10

[indigo marsh]

I wish they kept the Tr301

[gaunt burrow]

At least 10. Some new guns might not be shown tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Hit-n-run Space Marines sound interesting

[still ridge]

LR-300 didn’t really make sense at all though

[gaunt burrow]

I doubt that they'd reveal all new guns

[still ridge]

HK416 replaced it so idc

[pseudo rivet]

But my plasma boys will remain my favorite

[naive fog]

Deathwatch were underrated in 9th you can have DW veteran squads with guys duel wielding thunder hammers

[still ridge]

Also I think in the E3 trailer there was a G36K

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl dawg, Deathwatch sounds interesting, but they are currently suffering the typical "Lack of Primaris" problem

[still ridge]

And an unknown revolver in the new trailer

We don’t know if that’s a weapon you can get your hands on though

[pseudo rivet]

Grey Knights have the same problem, having old models

[still ridge]

And the bizon

That’s 11

[gaunt burrow]

Hopefully it will be accessible

[naive fog]

Imma just continue playing 9th I think I ain't bothered with changing my lists to play 10th

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, so far, anything since 10th has just been drama

[naive fog]

Knights have a massive buff

[pseudo rivet]

I do like what they did with the Unforgiven fluff-wise when it comes to the rules

We just became more Crimson Fists than the actual Crimson Fists

[naive fog]

10th has a bunch of cool things but cmon I need firstborn

[pseudo rivet]

True, but GW doesn't

Like, I lost a couple of my duders as well thanks to 10e

[naive fog]

GW are pieces of shit who just want money

[pseudo rivet]

It's stupid

[gaunt burrow]

Mfw I asked guys in #🤨┃stalker_memes to release shower emojis on a gay meme and they reacted with shower on my comment instead

[pseudo rivet]

And I'm definitely not going to buy Ravenwing, because they're just going to replace that

[naive fog]

Double the showers on the post tho

[pseudo rivet]

The price increases are straight up bs

[gaunt burrow]

True. I honestly dunno why they reacted with that emoji on my comment too ngl

[naive fog]

They already beat inflation for the next 10 years

[pseudo rivet]

It's just pure greed

They're pushing not just the community away, but also potential new players

[naive fog]

As a price comparison

I also play bolt action and

[pseudo rivet]

Mfw just simple characters used to be 23-ish bucks, but they since already increased to 30+

And 23 for a character is already much, but damn

[gaunt burrow]

Greed isn't our greatest quality for sure

[pseudo rivet]

Still, I guess it's still an investment and what you've bought, you'll keep forever

[naive fog]

Holy shit my whole message got deleted imma make it again

[pseudo rivet]

So yeah, got 500 points rn, just gotta get to Incursion strength now

Not sure if I even want to go beyond 1000 points, tbh

[naive fog]

Warhammer €50
•10 men
•2 unit options

Bolt action €50
•30 men
•unit options for anything you want really

Idek what I wanna do for Warhammer

[pseudo rivet]

Real

[pseudo rivet]

I suggest Kill Team

[naive fog]

That would be nice but I have my DW sitting there unfinished and idk what I wanna do with them

[pseudo rivet]

Deathwatch?

[naive fog]

I have a nice 1000p of Ultramarines, necrons and knights but deathwatch are really incomplete

[pseudo rivet]

There are rules for them in Kill Team, actually

[naive fog]

Ye DW=deathwatch

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but also Deathwing

Seen how I'm a Dark Angels player

[naive fog]

Just say da DW for deathwing

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[naive fog]

Most of my DW are da anyways lol

[rich cloak]

Hello, will there be an online game with an open game world? or will there be small maps similar to cs?

[naive fog]

Best 1st founding chapter

[pseudo rivet]

But yeah, there's rules for them in Kill Team

[pseudo rivet]

Singleplayer open world

[naive fog]

Best chapter in general

[pseudo rivet]

Dark Angels

The Ist Legion

[naive fog]

That's why most of my DW are da

[rich cloak]

it’s clear that single player I promise to bring multiplayer later, I wonder what it will be like))

[naive fog]

Best chapter

[gaunt burrow]

Open world with 64KM Zone

[still ridge]

New weapons we’ve seen so far:

•MAC 10
•PP-19
•OTs-02
•IWI Carmel
•HK416* (possible replacement for LR-300)
•APS
•M14
•R870
•R700
•Kriss Vector
•unknown revolver* (might be unobtainable)
•Malyuk

Old weapons we’ve seen so far:

•PM
•MP5
•AKS-74U
•AK-74
•G36
•SVD
•SVU
•USP
•PKM
•Groza
•VSS
•AS Val
•Gauss Rifle
•RPG-7

That’s at least 25

and we know there’s 30+

[gaunt burrow]

👍

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, I love the "retribution" style gameplay

[gaunt burrow]

I'd expect at least total amount of 20 new weapons

[pseudo rivet]

At least, in 10e

[rich cloak]

WOW this is the best game, will there also be a microphone? 🙂

[still ridge]

[gaunt burrow]

fr

[still ridge]

No way multiplayer will be the whole map

This ain’t dayz

[finite dragon]

Man what's multiplayer even gonna be like

[still ridge]

Probably like the originals

[finite dragon]

The first thing that comes to mind is just Coop

[still ridge]

It’s gonna be TDM

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure if troll or no

[still ridge]

:clueless:

[still ridge]

I’m saying 15 for now

[pseudo rivet]

@naive fog
You can try to just play one of the actual Kill Teams and basically turn them into Deathwatch. All you really need is just the Deathwatch shoulder pads

[finite dragon]

I feel like games with Voice chat are always a disaster in the best way possible

[naive fog]

Or run deathwatch vets

[pseudo rivet]

Or run Deathwatch Vets

[naive fog]

Idk I might try it out tho

[still ridge]

12 new weapons so far

[pseudo rivet]

Like, I dunno, you can try out something like Intercession Squad or Phobos Strike Team and add the Deathwatch shoulder pad to them

[naive fog]

This Monday I wanna meet up with the boys then we will have a discussion

[pseudo rivet]

Wat it B

@naive fog
You got Uriel Ventress by the way or nah?

[naive fog]

Na sadly it was my first army and I chose 2nd company

Loved the books tho

[pseudo rivet]

I don't have Lazarus either

I still don't know how to even use him

He just plain sucks

Ngl, wish Asmodai + 6 Inner Circle Companions were less glass-cannon-y

[worn oar]

[restive shell]

OH i can buy an exoskeleton now. how good is it in CS? does it also prevent running lik in SoC?

[gaunt burrow]

Yeah

In CoP you will be able to run in exo tho. After fully upgrading it

[pseudo rivet]

Unless you go for the Shagohod easy movement system

[restive shell]

uu found an sgi. i wonder if i can use a scope with it. looks better than 301

[granite mortar]

It is better

[restive shell]

yep and i just upgraded it. looks awesome 😄

ah i found my fav weapon i think

[gaunt burrow]

Good night everyone

[pseudo rivet]

Goodnight

Gn bro

[elfin echo]

gn dude

What's yall favorite armor aesthetically

[naive fog]

Damn bro is asking the deep questions

[elfin echo]

i'm a curious man

For me it's the bulat

[naive fog]

I have favourite armours but idk about looks

[pseudo rivet]

Berill-5m with the Tactical Helmet and the gas mask, tbh

[drowsy schooner]

Why is the economy in CS so broken? Everything I sell is like 100x cheaper than the real price

[sand fiber]

because CS is a bad game
actually though you should be focusing on selling artifacts and flashdrives

[still ridge]

intended gameplay feature

[sand fiber]

flashdrives are in stashes, and those can be bought

bandits pay like 12k for a flashdrive, that's how i got my SEVA

[drowsy schooner]

Yeah the artifacts are kinda bad too. Everything that I find is giving me +2 radiation

[sand fiber]

well duh you need antirad artifacts

[drowsy schooner]

I know but I haven't found a single one

[sand fiber]

they're in gravi fields

there is one at swamps and dark valley

[drowsy schooner]

Who can I sell flashdrives to as a loner?

[sand fiber]

loners, dutiers, freedomers

[drowsy schooner]

Any traders buy them?

[sand fiber]

no, technicians do

[sand fiber]

clear sky too

[drowsy schooner]

Thank you, gonna try it out

[elfin echo]

i'm more of a bulat guy with the gas mask

[tulip vapor]

Green knitted jumper

[glass cloud]

if I was able to buy one of the stalker games which one should I get first? I never played any of them before

[pseudo rivet]

Shadow of Chernobyl

[glass cloud]

alright, I'll check it out thank you

[pseudo rivet]

Have fun

[still ridge]

[sand fiber]

Shadow of Chornobyl, then Clear Sky, then Call of Pripyat

[fluid abyss]

heres a question for stalker fans

do you like stalker 2's color palette?

idk, it seems to washed out to me, in the watercolor painting kind of way and not so much so in the dirty irl kind of way

[wet lark]

It was both for me

It knew how to be pretty and it knew how to be gritty and dark in some places

Remember the pseudogiant short?

[fluid abyss]

vaguely

[wet lark]

That one had the dark palette youre looking for

[fluid abyss]

I wonder if there's any color filtering

[celest goblet]

Seems like it will vary a decent amount based on time of day, weather, perhaps other conditions too

[fluid abyss]

cuz in a lot of the non-cinematic footage, it seems like there's a color or two that the entire screen is gravitated towards, with a high saturation secondary color to make certain things pop

kinda looks like fallout 4 sometimes ngl

with its post apocalypse setting but obnoxiously colorful 1950s style equipment strewn about

[still ridge]

Wild take

[wet lark]

I really hope so

I like the idea of the zone being absolutely beautiful in some places and dark and nasty in others, gives me that feel that the zone itself is a sentient living entity with its own personality and emotions

[still ridge]

It’s fine lol

[wet lark]

Wdym

[still ridge]

Plenty of color variety

[covert slate]

yeah lots of places are going to give different tones

[nimble cipher]

babay5767 has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[covert slate]

which is good considering that it's one whole open world now, it will make each of these places stand out

[celest blaze]

these go hard

[fluid abyss]

yeah but im talking color palettes since the pics aren't monocolor
the browns and greens are all washed out but the reds and oranges appear to be saturated a little higher, making the scientist suit and the wooden gun furniture really pop out

[wet lark]

Yeah

Thats part of what I was saying

[still ridge]

The world itself vs character models and weapons

that’s the big thing

[covert slate]

i'm just glad that they're going for a stylized art direction so that things are readable and not muddied out by high fidelity and alot of detail

[celest blaze]

plus it stays fresher longer

[stark sapphire]

what's weird abt it?

[celest blaze]

Fr haha

I think stalker 2 will be fine

[jaunty junco]

Exosuit (specifically the monolith colours), I always choose the heaviest armours over everything else

[covert slate]

Sunrise is always a classic for me

[jaunty junco]

sleek, sexy and a classic

[covert slate]

i'm also loving the new renditions of them, keeping true to the classic design but also having some new fresh touches, and if the artbook is anything to go by then we could be able to have some cloaks over our armor

[jaunty junco]

Im gonna be looking for/buying the heaviest suit when game is out, hoping they have LMGs in the game but id understand if not

[covert slate]

if the RP-74 was in the original trilogy then i don't see why it wouldn't be in this one

[elfin echo]

For me the duty exo is my favorite

[jaunty junco]

oh yea i forgot about that

i remember now being sad using the ABR mod for CS and not being able to use the tank machine you find as part of a quest thats able to carry a stupid amount of rounds

[hidden stratus]

It's a bit worrying how much expectations have risen since the recent demo.

[jaunty junco]

I dont expect much of anything until i get more gameplay footage

[hidden stratus]

Was the recent trailer not enough? Many questions were answered and it gave a good example of gameplay.

[jaunty junco]

I know, im just very cautious about new games now, although im kinda excited for this game

ive been burnt a lot pre ordering games so now i just dont

[hidden stratus]

I think the only thing to be cautious about is performance, even though the steam recommended specs are up to date and the game is said to be well optimized it should be taken into account the age of the parts all us use. Especially for a game that is being compared to RDR2 😬

[jaunty junco]

my PC 100% wouldnt be able to run stalker 2 i dont think

[hidden stratus]

What cpu and gpu are you using

[jaunty junco]

gtx1060 6gb vram

CPU: GenuineIntel: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
RAM: 16239 MB'

just sseen the steam requirements

[hidden stratus]

1080p medium settings is probably what your settings will end up on. If the game supports FSR3 then you will definitely get more than 60fps out of it.

[jaunty junco]

150gb of required space yikers

[still ridge]

Not surprising, the game is massive

[hidden stratus]

Seems fine considering the scale of the game. Although many people will have like 3 games downloaded with GTA6's release next year.

Its insane, there are soo many games releasing in the last quarter of the year.

[spring creek]

yeah this year is gonna be crazy

[hidden stratus]

I want this game to win GOTY, but as of now it is still not on everyone's radar, especially with the countless announcements as of late. But all it really takes is one big creator playing the game to set the dominos in effect.

[celest goblet]

It remains one of the most wishlisted games on steam

[celest blaze]

Fr honestly

[celest goblet]

#4 currently

[celest blaze]

I hope rockstar has better security for pc users apparently it's very easy to find your ip address etc on gta5 online servers

[jaunty junco]

wouldnt count on it

[celest blaze]

Fr sadly it's why I never touched it once I left console

[static compass]

Anyone else have a bug on SoC where you have to help bullet save that duty guy, but the bandits just keep killing him before the ambush spot?

Nvm, fixed itself

[hidden stratus]

They have to, unless they want their reputation destroyed

Literally one of the most awaited games ever it is crucial for Rockstar to get their sh*t together when it comes to security and modders

Red Dead Online doesn't really have this problem, but also no one plays online anymore

[river gate]

How do you deal with the zombies coming put of the factory? Seems like there’s just hordes of them coming I thought I was playing stalker not the last mission of halo reach

[hidden stratus]

What are you talking about, there's 3 games in this series

[river gate]

?? I never said anything about there being more or less

[hidden stratus]

I said be more descriptive, theres 3 games worth of content and they all have zombies and factories

[river gate]

Wha- first of all it says on my profile what im playing but since your being so kind I’ll just tell you its clear sky

[hidden stratus]

It didn't say but just throw grenades, unlike regular enemies they wont run away. I believe bandits carry them the most so just farm a couple of bandits if you need some

And a good headshot always puts anything to sleep

[covert slate]

enemies in clear sky tend to just keep coming for the sake of the faction war system, just try to do your mission and get out of there

[river gate]

The damn scientists won’t open their door!

[shrewd elm]

Kill the zombies near the science bunker first

[river gate]

There are consistently three different groups rapidly approaching I have no meds and am bleeding out

[dim topaz]

Kill them faster

[river gate]

Also when does the stalker 2 preorder end?

[broken latch]

Operators drewski

I sadly think he'll be the one to bring the masses

Like he did with anomaly

[hidden stratus]

Probs

[celest blaze]

But to put a positive spin it's also nice to grow the community aswell

[fierce kettle]

Why did they say that CS was terrible and buggy? I ran the game fine and it wasn't really terrible other than NPC's grenades spam and bad weapon accurancy

[celest blaze]

Haters mostly CS is a good game for the most part

[tranquil fable]

@split flame @neat roost sorry for the ping, but the landing page has a bug, it was deployed in prod pointing to localhost in the "Preorder - Notify Me" button

[still ridge]

People jump on the bandwagon and say it’s bad

without playing it

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[wet lark]

Therell doubtless be more big content creators who will play stalker 2 and bring more people in

I know people like to shit on the console editions and whatever but it was genius for GSC to port stalker to console

Whats the point in putting the 4th gams out of your game series on a platform and then exclude the 3 that precede it

[granite mortar]

Because they are stupid

CS is peak
Both in atmosphere and fun factor

[dapper finch]

Hope y'all have decent sized SSDs

[dapper finch]

It's hardly an iconic faction war, like Freedom v Duty.

[dapper finch]

It was terribly buggy at launch, but what stalker game isn't

[pseudo rivet]

With said community never having played Vanilla because "Anomaly is the way it should be played"

Mfw they don't even know what STALKER really is

[granite mortar]

freedom tries to release information, mercs try to keep it hidden
it makes sense

[dapper finch]

Sure, just seems like less of a red v blue and more of a green v blue.

[granite mortar]

you mean red v green

[dapper finch]

Not literal colours

[granite mortar]

duty v freedom

[dapper finch]

I know lol, I meant red v blue like in most games where it's sworn enemies

[granite mortar]

damn
I prefer red v green and blue v green, because red and blue are both great colours

[broken latch]

Because those games would of been for PS3 at the time

[dapper finch]

And been running on low settings

[dapper finch]

We got a mod about?

[grim cove]

Does anybody know how to pass the mission to help defend against bandits near garbage without dying ?

Is there maybe a mod to make it easier or something ? I'm not that good at games

[dapper finch]

In the train hangar?

[grim cove]

No idea

It was something with Bes ? Idk it doesn't show the name of mission in the little phone thingy anymore

[dapper finch]

Ah the vehicle graveyard, just use the vehicles for cover, lure them in and get them around corners.

In stalker, line of sight is everything

[grim cove]

Alright, I'll try again. Thanks !!

[dapper finch]

It does take some getting used to stalker gameplay

[grim cove]

I see, I've been playing for only like 3 hours after all lol

[dapper finch]

Also bear in mind that in some ways the start of Shadow of Chernobyl is kind of the hardest part - Cordon, Garbage and Agroprom. Once you hit Bar, things ease off a little, you get more options open up, easier to earn money and get better gear.

With better armor means better ability to sponge damage while spamming heal 😛

[fallow obsidian]

Is STALKER a rpg?

[burnt notch]

RPG-7

[hazy helm]

Stalker has RPG elements relating to how armour and artifacts work but the game is a Action Adventure FPS

[dapper finch]

No, but it does have some elements of RPGs, like inventory management, trader stock refreshes, armor stats, artifact modifiers, quests

[fallow obsidian]

Do i play as the same charater in every game?

[hazy helm]

Each game has its own character with the stories being linked

[fallow obsidian]

God i need to finish STALKER but my hard drive needs to ne fixed first

[dapper finch]

If stalker has taught me anything, you'll be better at fixing it with booze

[fallow obsidian]

Or druga

[drowsy schooner]

Could S2 have New Game +? How would that even work?

Like maybe you can choose certain loadouts to start with

[tender torrent]

[worn oar]

Granma abominaly influence

[worn oar]

[celest blaze]

True I hate that YouTubers do this

[dapper finch]

Speaking as an anomaly player, if you've not played the trilogy, your opinion on stalker is worthless

because at that point you're not talking about stalker

[celest blaze]

i agree

[dapper finch]

And I couldn't be happier that S2 looks to be pretty close to what we had with the trilogy

If people want to mod that to be something else, that's great too

[celest blaze]

im glad it looks the way it does and not some hyper realistic tacticool stuff ( the mods can do that)

[dapper finch]

What I found really surprising and nice was that the loot doesnt' appear to have a ton of clutter added.

Shows GSC understand that more doesn't equal better

[celest blaze]

which is awesome imo

I'm way too FREAKING stacked

I have 2 non damaged exo skeletons and an armored military suit

Along with 530 ammo for my FN F5000

Wtf does follow your instincts mean

Can I just do anything?

If so I'm chilling at 100 rads bar

Oh game would've ended if I wasn't using ZRP

Cool.

Is there any updates on be able to pre-order physical editions in EU? Idealy looking for a collectors 🙂

[finite dragon]

I'm gonna kill the bloodsucker village

Or should I make skinflint ask Duty for it?

Skinflint seems like a jackass ngl

[grave hearth]

He just profits off of you so he doesn't have to send his own boys out to fight bloodsuckers

W strategy

[finite dragon]

Didn't his boys get killed

[grave hearth]

Job risk

[finite dragon]

And everyone's too pussy to go there

[grave hearth]

They dont like job risk

[finite dragon]

Bloodsuckers ain't even that dangerous bro

You can outrun them very easily

[grave hearth]

Skinflint knows you are too naive to say no to job risk (blood sucker sucking)

So he asks you

[finite dragon]

I mean he also offers compensation

[nimble cipher]

First word Sid says in SoC

[tender torrent]

the wait may be long

I concretely wonder if the game will really be ready for September 5 2024, the more I think about it the more I tell myself that the game will be perfect for January February 2025

This is just my opinion, I could be wrong

[dapper finch]

Aaa don't jinx it

[celest goblet]

Guess we will only know for sure when we are there, but it seemed from the SGF demo impressions that it was pretty polished at that time

And that was still with several months to go

[dapper finch]

Besides, we can handle a buggy launch 🙂

It's part of playing stalker

[tender torrent]

The game is refined over time

[celest goblet]

A big and ambitious game is going to have some issues, it is just a question of if they get in the way of enjoyment or not

[tender torrent]

it's just an impression

[marsh dome]

We've never been so close. I've got my delivery date for my ultimate edition, scheduled for September 5.

No more 31 December

[granite mortar]

new faction tierlist dropped in #🤨┃stalker_memes
go check
No politics please :)

@celest blaze put renegadis gods of zona in the discord search bar and you will understand

[dapper finch]

Is this a cult.

The real Sin is the cult we formed along the way.

[granite mortar]

its not cult
just a simple fact

[trim fractal]

Hi new here

[granite mortar]

renegadIS gods of zona

[granite mortar]

aknowledge our renegade overlords NOW!

[trim fractal]

You got a sidorovich on your name

[granite mortar]

because im part of the elite Habar club

[celest blaze]

Praise renegades

[trim fractal]

Sidorovich owns the zone he created the zone im sure

[granite mortar]

sidorovich is the first renegade

[celest blaze]

Did you know the renegades made the monolith to distract you from the truth ?

[trim fractal]

Long live sidorovich the owner of all

[celest blaze]

How do you think they get all their weapons 🤔

[trim fractal]

We should gift him all our stuff

[celest blaze]

Fr

[trim fractal]

I have a question about moding

[granite mortar]

no anomaly

[trim fractal]

Idk how to mod

[granite mortar]

which game?

[trim fractal]

Wich one is Easier to mod?

[granite mortar]

you mean to add existing mods or to make your own?

[trim fractal]

Existing mods

[hazy helm]

all games are roughly equal tho the nav mesh and AI of CoP is a lot worse and thus will be better to make Story mods

SoC has a lot more moving parts

[granite mortar]

in that case its CoP

SoC isnt hard to mod its just that some mods require specific version

[hazy helm]

you will be donwloading standalones most of the time, no need to split hairs anywya

[trim fractal]

There is some kind of mod manager like fnv?

[granite mortar]

yeah but you wont need that

you won be using more than maybe 3 mods at once anywas

[hazy helm]

no, you will need to manually download and install mods

[granite mortar]

most good mods are full package, story, guns, quests all together

[hazy helm]

you cannot haphazardly merge mods, if a mod is not said to be compatible with another never assume they are

[dapper finch]

The way he gives you a tracking device that others can use to hunt you down... yeah checks out

[trim fractal]

Uf idk if its worth the work

Like the games are great as they are

[granite mortar]

well I assume you have finished the trilogy and now just want more

[trim fractal]

Yes i just finished cop

[granite mortar]

here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1btMs-vVYlWOTVvC4hynQdEOr9Gb59P8LNlhr_1REYx0
list of full mod packages that dont need anything else, all completely change the game in unique ways. Basically free DLCs at this point

[hazy helm]

as was already said, mods for stalker veer into the side of completely new experiences with loads of new mechanics quests and new story
I will recommend you to finish all stalker games before loading serious mods

[trim fractal]

Thanks renegade

[hazy helm]

didja play AZM?

[granite mortar]

Absolutely Zased Mod? No, not yet

[dapper finch]

Anomaly modded to taste. prepares for chymo wrath

[trim fractal]

But i did finish all stalker

[granite mortar]

so much anger hides behind this cat

[trim fractal]

You guys think merc scar Will return in stalker 2??

[dapper finch]

Watch out cat, there's something angry behind you

[granite mortar]

prepare for trouble
and make it ... single, Im alone on this :(

[hazy helm]

all the games?

[jaunty junco]

untold fury

[hazy helm]

Another Zone Mod, its actually really nice

[trim fractal]

Yes sir

[dapper finch]

I believe the theory that Strelok killed him in SoC.

[granite mortar]

oh, I heard about it, dont really know what its about

[trim fractal]

The monolith theory?

[dapper finch]

Charon yeah

[granite mortar]

I believe the theory that the small factor called "GIANT .FUCKING EMISSION" killed him

[trim fractal]

It would be great a orequel of streloks group

[trim fractal]

I like the theory but i hope not tbh

[dapper finch]

That's what I found weird about CS, it didn't go that far back in time

[hazy helm]

I recommend Spatial Anomaly and Another Zone Mod if you like CoP more, OGSR legacy if you ended up liking SoC more

[dapper finch]

Forrester prequel

[hazy helm]

its a by the books story, but its just really well presented and made

[granite mortar]

Spatial Anomaly my beloved

[trim fractal]

Yes but is a good orequel imo like It explains the reason of all kinda

[granite mortar]

[dapper finch]

Yeah

A lot of CS fans here

[granite mortar]

CS iss best of the trilogy

[trim fractal]

Thanks i Will paste It into a note

[trim fractal]

Yes i loved the faction wars

[granite mortar]

review list

[dapper finch]

Only downside of CS is lack of Rostok.

[trim fractal]

Lmao what? (Im not a native english speaker)

[granite mortar]

the link I sent

[trim fractal]

Ah yes im oasting the link too

[gaunt burrow]

weak theory to begin with tbh

[trim fractal]

Why is that so mattpat?

[gaunt burrow]

just 1 thing connects Scar and Charon, Vintar

[trim fractal]

True i also like vintar and im not scar

Or am i

[gaunt burrow]

While it's true that Charon is the only character using it in SoC, it's not like the devs planned it in advance. In CS it's used by many loners, and in CoP it can even be wielded by some random Monolithians

[granite mortar]

Savior (young scar) is Charon and Scar (the old one) went back in time after getting rid of brainwashing to save himself

[trim fractal]

Fr vintar is best Sniper

[trim fractal]

Sidorovich is scar too

[jaunty junco]

Sidorovich is Strelok

[dapper finch]

Time anomalies!

[granite mortar]

everyone is Scar

[trim fractal]

But strelok is scar

[dapper finch]

Tbh the canonicity of a lot of things is weak

[trim fractal]

Thats why he had the misson of killing strelok

[jaunty junco]

in the end, the strelok we have was the scar we made along the way

[dapper finch]

Meanwhile Degtyarev

[trim fractal]

Maybe the monolith is the Friends we made along the way

[dapper finch]

For Clear Sky, literally

[jaunty junco]

[gaunt burrow]

trilogy has many plotholes and inconsistencies that aren't resolved still, but that doesn't mean all theories are correct

[dapper finch]

Yeah wasn't suggesting they are... unless... anomalies permit all

[trim fractal]

Strelok Will have a beautiful hair like a lion in stalker 2

[dapper finch]

Isn't he bald?

[celest goblet]

Shaved it looked like to me

[jaunty junco]

not fully

[gaunt burrow]

he has a hair in his good ending slide in CoP

[trim fractal]

I Saw It as balding

[dapper finch]

Hairslinger himself

[trim fractal]

At least thinning

[gaunt burrow]

Strelok in his CoP ending slide got a lot of hair

[trim fractal]

Like top of his head is not really full

[trim fractal]

In soc is balding

What plothole tbh

[gaunt burrow]

so he isn't really balding

balding means that hair loss is permanent. Strelok can literally grow a hair

[trim fractal]

Strelok rocked the bald look

[gaunt burrow]

at least thats the usual case

[trim fractal]

Yes but thinning is a oart of balding inst It?

[dapper finch]

The magic of the zone

[jaunty junco]

strelok is bald, he obviously has an artefact that allows him to grow hair

[trim fractal]

It would make sense that he was bald for the radiation

[jaunty junco]

hence the artefact

[trim fractal]

Hole fixed you are cool

[dapper finch]

"I want a full head of hair"
Strelok wakes up the next morning as a werewolf mutant

[jaunty junco]

strelok furry confirmed?

[trim fractal]

Strelok fursona would be a rat

Or a possum

[dapper finch]

I guess he does like trying to kill rats. That dream is a vision of the strelok he's trying to kill

[jaunty junco]

Flint/Magpie would be a rat

[trim fractal]

Scar would be a wolf or smth edgy like him

[dapper finch]

Honey badger

[granite mortar]

no he shoots them, havent you seen the video?

[dapper finch]

Yeah. Rat's mission is to kill the Rat.

[gaunt burrow]

Man slow days at work make me type weird shit

[gaunt burrow]

[granite mortar]

I imagined something more majestic but you do you

[celest blaze]

Help others see the truth and greatness of COTZ

[trim fractal]

Strelok is cannonically short?

[jaunty junco]

strelok definitley wears the maid outfit

[granite mortar]

strelok wears no clothes

[celest blaze]

Ong

[trim fractal]

Strelok fears no pickpocket

[dapper finch]

just the green knitted jumper, nothing else

[celest blaze]

All these betas having armor and exos alpha chad strelok braves the zone free of any clothes

Mutants fear such a display

[loud gate]

When did you get helper?

[gaunt burrow]

like 10 mins ago

[trim fractal]

I thought It was an irish sweater first time y played

[gaunt burrow]

still can't believe it honestly

[trim fractal]

I*

[dapper finch]

Googled it and first result.... yeah I see it

[trim fractal]

Strelok is irish

[dapper finch]

By that logic so are you

[trim fractal]

Maybe i am (im not)

[loud gate]

I assume it was Mol1t who gave you the role. Now pledge your allegiance to the Great STOC state.

[gaunt burrow]

I pledge my allegiance to this Great STOC nation

[trim fractal]

Scar is a cool Guy

[trim fractal]

Artifak

[tender torrent]

Moderator would perhaps have been too much or sufficient in your?

It's true that I was a Moderator from 2012 to 2017, on a big Android Play Store game with 5 million downloads, it's something with great responsibilities and pressure

then I stopped

but it was a good experience

[tender torrent]

in any case you fully deserve the role of Helpers

[bronze talon]

64 days until the release, my college grades definitely are gonna drop after i get it 😭

[trim fractal]

Is pa5

I wont play It sadly

[naive fog]

Congrats on helper bro

[trim fractal]

Strelok im a fan

[loud gate]

This is the way.

[dapper finch]

So you know what you've gotta do before release

(Hype and nothing else)

[tender torrent]

as they say, after the work the reward

[trim fractal]

Why is monolith S tier?

[loud gate]

Least based SP activity.

[elfin echo]

"We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us. May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will. Onward, warriors of The Monolith. Avenge your fallen brothers. Blessed, as they are, in their eternal union with The Monolith. Bring death to those who've spurned the holy power of The Monolith. Oh Monolith, we do not hear you. Why have you left us, oh Monolith? We await your orders, oh Monolith."

[gaunt burrow]

thanks a lot ❤️

[gaunt burrow]

thanks bro, appreciate it

[elfin echo]

Eyyy congrats dude

You are now a helper

[gaunt burrow]

thanks bro

[still ridge]

They’re firm on this release

You can’t say “this is the FINAL release date” and then delay it again

[dapper finch]

Yes you can. Plenty of companies have.

Probably a really bad idea though

[still ridge]

Exactly

they’re not going to do that

[dapper finch]

Cancelled pre-orders, loss of hype etc

[fierce kettle]

Hey guys, are nvgs actually useful in CS?

[still ridge]

Besides, the game is literally in the final stages of development

[gaunt burrow]

night vision?

[fierce kettle]

yeah?

[gaunt burrow]

if you mean night vision then yeah, they're very useful (for me at the very least)

I'd recommend it

[still ridge]

the demo at SGF may have even been the full game

[fierce kettle]

Thank god i didn't waste 2100 RU for the upgrade

[gaunt burrow]

you do know how to activate night vision, right?

[fierce kettle]

yeah

[gaunt burrow]

aight then

[tender torrent]

If they really announced the “Final” date, I would like to believe it

62 days

[fierce kettle]

Wonder if GSC kept the AKM-74/2 model in STALKER 2

[trim fractal]

I hope they add more weapons

[fierce kettle]

They did

[fierce kettle]

I've seen the SVU, the PP-19 Bizon and more weapons in their trailers

@pseudo rivet are you the UDP compact enjoyer, or the APSB connoisseur

[pseudo rivet]

One exists in the Trilogy, the other doesn't

[still ridge]

What do you think you’ll be using in HoC

me personally, gotta try out the APSB

[pseudo rivet]

Whatever I like best

Performance and playstyle is the most important thing of a weapon

[still ridge]

20 round mag and automatic capability

Unless the recoil is completely uncontrollable (it probably will be) I’m inclined to use it

probably useful for mag dumping fast enemies

[pseudo rivet]

I need my IL 86

Inb4 they removed it

[fluid abyss]

I wanna see if there’d be an AR platform rifle and try that out

[still ridge]

Well, there’s an HK416

Which is probably going to be one of the best weapons in game

if you ask me

[pseudo rivet]

It'd be a good back-up weapon, tbh. At least, if HoC still has the G button

[still ridge]

Imagine

[still ridge]

they honestly might have

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[still ridge]

Seems like they’re replacing certain weapons from the trilogy that didn’t make too much sense in universe

[pseudo rivet]

IL 86 makes perfect sense, but with HoC being in the future, perhaps they do have access to better weapons and such

[still ridge]

TRs-301 -> HK416
IL-86 -> Vulcan-M
Ft-200M -> unknown

[pseudo rivet]

Eh

IL 86 being a Vulcan-M doesn't sound logical

[still ridge]

It doesn’t

But they’re both bullpups

[celest goblet]

Kinda want to just keep rocking an AC-96/2

[still ridge]

[celest goblet]

Comfy gun for me

[still ridge]

oh yeah we haven’t seen that either

[celest goblet]

Though if it doesn't make it in I am sure I will find something else

[pseudo rivet]

As you can see, this is a sunrise. The video becomes progressively lighter

[gaunt burrow]

true

[tender torrent]

the second music at 2:58 is just epic

[gaunt burrow]

at around 5:23 if you listen carefully you can hear crows I think

but I'm not 100% sure

I mean vodka does that too

[gaunt burrow]

looks like 50/50 scenario, but I wouldn't be surprised if smoking will be available in the game

[tender torrent]

During the 11 minutes, we observe the sunrise, it's just incredible

[still ridge]

People would immediately say that GSC copied anomaly/gamma and made cigarettes a mechanic

[cyan canopy]

Probably smallest vodka effect but had long duration effect

but who knows?

[gaunt burrow]

we are speculating if that option will be available in S2

looks like 50/50 to me

there's a place in Cordon at the Elevator where when you go inside on the second floor at a good sniper vantage point you can see a bunch of cig butts on the floor and i think it's a nice little detail

cigarette animation

[celest blaze]

I want more immersive smoking

[tender torrent]

[covert slate]

feel the tar enter your lungs

[celest blaze]

Ong

[timber violet]

you think the video is actual gameplay graphics?

[still ridge]

We just saw in game footage dude

We know it looks like that

[sand fiber]

yeagh why not

[fluid abyss]

Perhaps but I’m still expecting release to look worse

[timber violet]

I doubt you'd see so many particles flying around here and there, would cost a lot of resources for your pc

[fluid abyss]

That’s usually how it is, trailers will remove or reduce HUD elements to make for a more cinematic video

[fluid abyss]

That’s probably max settings

[timber violet]

i think for the most part yes it will be like this, but maybe some things a bit less like particles

[potent bluff]

im vibing with the radio songs rn

[timber violet]

im not listening to that, I need to when I actually play :( no spoilers :(

[celest blaze]

It'll probably be toned down on consoles but pc I have faith will look great

[potent bluff]

No spoilers, just great vibe

[timber violet]

could be yea, true

[celest blaze]

Consoles I don't even think can do 4k 60fps yet but I could be wrong

[timber violet]

I wonder if in S2 we will have more special equipment like you needed in lab x18 was it? or x16 i forgot

[still ridge]

16

[sand fiber]

consoles can't even do fullhd 60 fps

[celest blaze]

I can't wait to see comparisons

[loud gate]

Yes, I really like when the player accidently touches the mouse

[timber violet]

man, can you imagine standing in that area just looking outside that building towards this anomaly and just vibing, I CANT WAIT

[still ridge]

Series x will be fine

[celest blaze]

Series S is gonna suffer

[sand fiber]

i gotta be honest i'm more excited for the future total conversions than the game itself

[celest blaze]

Gamma 2 🗣️

Joke but call of the zone 2

[sand fiber]

WE'RE GROKING OURSELVES WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🫃💅💅💅

[timber violet]

wtf you werent lying LUL

[celest blaze]

I wish we had another Dr.X of this generation but idk if we will see a cotz 2

[sand fiber]

more like OLR 3 2

[cyan canopy]

well i bet it will exist 💀

[still ridge]

Delusion

[potent bluff]

Time stamps please 🥺

[celest blaze]

Gamma fine but it's not really stalker

[sand fiber]

why

[loud gate]

it's present multiple times

[timber violet]

ofc, theres so much talk about mods that we will have so many playthroughs esp with full mod support and recent tools

[potent bluff]

[cyan canopy]

yeah since STALKER 2 gonna be moddable so...

[timber violet]

why? how is that based?

[celest blaze]

Mods take away from the vision ( I'm just joking aswell)

[gaunt burrow]

[celest blaze]

I'm excited to see if Stalker 2 has raytracing I'm pumped to finally have a game that can push my pc potentially

[timber violet]

I wonder if we will be able to listen to music when playing and not just special areas, kinda like fallout was

[sand fiber]

i have a strong feeling that the base game won't explore even a bit of stalker's true potential, but with how many new possibilities UE5 opens for the mods it won't be an issue

[cyan canopy]

Merc gonna kill you

[gaunt burrow]

Which 1?

[cyan canopy]

i put 5000RU. on your head

[celest blaze]

Same honestly

[sand fiber]

you know what actually takes away from the vision? Clear Sky

[loud gate]

We will return to this

[celest blaze]

Clear sky? Naw it gives alot of important backstory!

[gaunt burrow]

Nozar trying not to hate Clear Sky for 1 minute challenge: Impossible Difficulty

[still ridge]

Smh

[celest goblet]

I would temper my expectations around mods with how much more technically complex games are today, but I'm hopeful still

[celest blaze]

Clearsky is arguably the best stalker game imo

[sand fiber]

i HATE clear sky i will DIE on this hill

[still ridge]

The idea that the base games aren’t good without mods is insane

[sand fiber]

replaying it only made this worse

[gaunt burrow]

you hate Clear Sky because of Vist, admit it

[celest blaze]

Fr tbh

[sand fiber]

utter delusion

[gaunt burrow]

[celest blaze]

Scars journey to stop the marked one was awesome and compelling

Alot of cool characters aswell

[covert slate]

you always were a walking skill issue lol

[sand fiber]

i didn't say that??

[loud gate]

This tbh

[cyan canopy]

I had suspicious feeling about Lebedev, why not trying to ask Strelok nicely other than sending unit to hunt him?

[sand fiber]

stalker has a lot of potential that the base games don't tap into

[gaunt burrow]

I think Strelok wouldn't listen to anyone tbh

[sand fiber]

doesn't make them bad

[gaunt burrow]

Strelok did say that he'll reach the center whatever it takes

someone that obsessed wouldn't be stopped just after talking to another person

[sand fiber]

and constant action with an upbeat atmosphere isn't

[celest blaze]

All the games had constant action and clearsky wasn't always upbeat

The amount of zombified stalkers I had to kill in CoP for example

[sand fiber]

All the games had constant action
no they didn't, replay SoC

[cyan canopy]

but heck it turned into catastrophe

[gaunt burrow]

this whole situation is pretty wacky to begin with tbh

[celest blaze]

Soc had alot of action aswell

[gaunt burrow]

I sometimes feel like I'm John Wick in SoC ngl

killing enemies left and right. straight from John Wick movies

[cyan canopy]

The most intense action in SoC is the Military vs Monolith at the CNPP

Goddamn it feels like real war in there
