Making Clear Sky worse? Why ruin a masterpiece

[granite mortar]

so true bestie

[sly cedar]

Install SRP at least, lol

[granite mortar]

I tried it before and couldnt get the vanilla pistol aiming to work
so thats a big NO

[pseudo rivet]

Oh, by the way, speaking of Stranger's identity, it's me but older

[gaunt burrow]

Sadly too many people don't appreciate the masterpiece

[granite mortar]

be happy for the few that do

Stalker weapons reanimation

[lethal orchid]

Man hearing operatordrewski say you could skip clear sky made me sad

[granite mortar]

why would I use reanimations?
what am I? tarkov chud?

[lethal orchid]

Most of his followers are gammoids and the 1% that actually will play the trilogy will skip

[granite mortar]

it wouldnt be so bad if he didnt tell people to play true Stalker instead

[lethal orchid]

Also that

True Stalker is really only good because of the maps

[granite mortar]

what is with gamma players and obsessing over worst/most mid mods out therre?

[lethal orchid]

Graphics are neat ig

[gaunt burrow]

If someone skipped CS then he isn't true fan, period

[lethal orchid]

He could just be mislead

Like drewski just called it "basically a dlc you can play in a day:

Like yeah, the world record speedrun is a few hours, so what?

[nimble cipher]

stpd3vrt has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gaunt burrow]

I always said that Drewski is goofy aah

[rose moth]

fr

[gaunt burrow]

And still have that opiniom

[lethal orchid]

I played it over a couple weeks

[gaunt burrow]

Opinion

[lethal orchid]

Every side mission

[rose moth]

when big youtubers cover games with smallish communities it ruins them

[granite mortar]

world record is few minutes
that doesnt make it a short game
speedruns are all about skipping parts of the game

[hazy helm]

Well even GSC themselves sees CS and CoP as more of expansions to SoC than actual games

[gloomy knoll]

imagine deciding a games length because of a speedrun

[lethal orchid]

Sure, but it's a 20 hour expansion

I have about 27 hours in SoC and CoP each

[gloomy knoll]

I prob dont want to know how much untracked gametime I have in all 3 games because I played them off steam back in my kids days

[lethal orchid]

And it's not the right thing to say if you wanna accurately represent them to a large community

[pseudo rivet]

Their fault for not appreciating the genius that is Clear Sky

[hazy helm]

It is accurate to call them such when even GSC regards them and regarded them as such
It's not right to say to skip them or downplay their existence but what they are is still what they are

[lethal orchid]

I'm not gonna argue semantics, aight

[gloomy knoll]

not much of a semantic thing if the game devs see it as a game sized expansion themselves

[granite mortar]

How do you reach the loot behind Gray?

[gloomy knoll]

Weird way to form the question of grabbing Gray's ass.

[tired basin]

Do you think anyone would be mad if I got the stalker tattoo but in russian?

[granite mortar]

whats the point of getting it if you dont get the same one as Marked One?

[tired basin]

That's the one I want

[gaunt burrow]

I don't see why would anyone be mad at that tbh. Very idiotic thing to be mad about in general

[gloomy knoll]

people lose their mind over a shirt colour of a football team nowadays... I wouldnt be surprised if they were pissed about such things too

[gaunt burrow]

Remember video I sent? In #📸┃screens_and_videos

[tired basin]

Good point. But you never know nowadays

[granite mortar]

Yeah I do but I cant find it

[gaunt burrow]

Ok wait

https://youtu.be/Yx77azg6u-o?si=GwvyZXAxneDVZS6i

That guy plays with mods but that method still works in vanilla anyways

Obtained AKM-74/2U many times with this method

[granite mortar]

Thanks

[pseudo rivet]

Complete moment

[gaunt burrow]

Might send video later

[pseudo rivet]

I just leave it there. Makes it feel more lived-in, I guess

[lethal orchid]

I would be mad if you didn't show it off here after you get it

[tired basin]

Been thinking about it for a while now. Really wanting to pull the trigger

[rose moth]

do it. That would be so sick

[slender crown]

which modded or unmodded stalker to play?

[granite mortar]

unmodded clear sky

[slender crown]

worst one

[granite mortar]

why tho?

[pseudo rivet]

Clear Sky, my beloved

[granite mortar]

Peak Sky*

[pseudo rivet]

Real

[slender crown]

the battle music is a instant turn off

[granite mortar]

what?

[pseudo rivet]

You can turn it off

[slender crown]

an ick, perchance

[indigo marsh]

You can turn it off

[granite mortar]

Battle Music is peak

Combat OST 3 my beloved <3

[indigo marsh]

Ambient noises for me

[granite mortar]

soo
if I understand it correctly
You dont liek Clear Sky because of optional feature you can turn off?

[slender crown]

im trying to think of petty things i dont like about it

[granite mortar]

why not think of not petty things

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, if you're having a hard time thinking of anything, that clearly means that it's peak

[granite mortar]

so real

[indigo marsh]

You have to kill renagadis gods of the zona

[granite mortar]

Yeah I know, I do it in most humane and painless way

Hunting Rifle with darts

Oh no
We lost the watchtower
Im so sad I will now have to collect these free hunting rifles off of my dead comrades

[nova wedge]

FAKE NEWS! MY PROUD PATRIOTS WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR SUCH A DRINK LIKE KVASS- THEY SAY GOOPMASTAH YOURE A WONDERFUL MAN AND EVEN BETTER PRESIDENT, WHAT DO YOU DRINK?

[naive fog]

Kvass must be drunk

[pseudo rivet]

Pepsi

[lethal orchid]

Yeah I turned it off

[pseudo rivet]

Like, I personally don't mind the combat music, but the problem is that it keeps playing even outside of combat

Constantly

[naive fog]

Y do you just find out family lore randomly

So annoying

[pseudo rivet]

Because it's needed to progress further down the Main Story

[naive fog]

I just found out I have family from Russia and Belarus and are in Russia rn like cmon I should know this shit 💀

[nova wedge]

Did they finally tell you youre actually a little irish boy they found on the streets

[naive fog]

Too late

[naive fog]

Already said something

[nova wedge]

Ngl thats not crazy I found out last time I had a not related by blood (married in) family member who uh... was Austrian and thought a certain other Austrian historical figure was "a great man"

[tired basin]

That doesn't sound too good

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, wonder who this guy is he idolizes so much

[tired basin]

I think it's buttercup mustache man

[nova wedge]

I also have a great uncle whos on the no fly list and just deadass wont tell us why

[tired basin]

That's wild

[granite mortar]

CS grenade spam makes for some epic moments
I just shot a guy with my hunting rifle and grenade exploded under his feet
Hunting Rifle so strong it turns darts into grenades

[naive fog]

Y use darts tho

[granite mortar]

because accuracy upgraded hunting rifle with darts is gods of mid range combat

[naive fog]

I love that style of the hunting rifle in OWA just with slugs, peak gun

[paper cape]

Okay guys, question. I played stalker SOC when it first came out back in the day, beat it. If I remember correctly I tried the 2nd game and wasn't feeling it, never finished. I'm looking to get my hands dirty in stalker again, should I replay SOC or try clear sky again or go for call of pripyat. Should I do any of this modded or should I do something else? I know pretty crazy question .
Also, if it helps, I have a decent rig. 3080 rtx and 5800x cpu, 64 gb ram.

[naive fog]

Replay the full trilogy to get used to it

SoC-CS-CoP, in that order

[paper cape]

Unmodded?

[naive fog]

Ye

[paper cape]

Might be rough, I've been playing shooters since then for years, the UI / graphics dated.

But thanks i'll give it a go

[naive fog]

You can always mod after

[paper cape]

I'm thinking radiophobia 3

[tired basin]

Stalker on the xbox work really well

[narrow tartan]

ABR would be good for CS

[granite mortar]

if you want that play radiophobia 2
3 is trash

[paper cape]

how come?

[granite mortar]

because its not vanilla

[jaunty junco]

Which historical figure?

Im aussie so im curious

[gaunt burrow]

I suggest trying SoC, then Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat

[nova wedge]

Austrian, not Australian. As in the european country

[jaunty junco]

Ohh, I misread

I know who you mean

[celest blaze]

This

[rose solar]

Damn, Clear SKy aint all that bad.

[granite mortar]

who said it was bad?
Ill have a talk with them

[rose solar]

Unironically, it's interesting. the only icky thing is the combat feel but honestly I can go past that. The faction war system is cool

Annoying when the same post gets triple swarmed but I am down for some reputation increase

[granite mortar]

for me the combat is the stronges part, especially the smart cover system for NPCs

[gaunt burrow]

Clear Sky is a masterpiece. Thing is that not everyone can appreciate a masterpiece

[gaunt burrow]

Tell them Chymo

[granite mortar]

Matt about that AKM, I know its last of a series of quests, is it given by some specific Loner squad leader? because I talked to most of them and didnt get it yet
Rn Im on my way to meet one squad up north

[granite mortar]

I still dont know who said it was bad :/

[indigo marsh]

I said it

[granite mortar]

f*ck you!
I knew it

[rose solar]

True, gawddamn. Played SoC and CoP religiously but never CS, I have been missin' out.

[granite mortar]

so true

Also, I recommend getting hunting rifle with accuracy upgrades
When you get dart ammo its godsend

[rose solar]

Oh I found some dart shells lol

[granite mortar]

yeah they are often in boxes at disputed territories

[gaunt burrow]

You can get that task from a random squad leader (just make sure that you completed other tasks that can be given by other leaders)

[rose solar]

Interesting

[gaunt burrow]

If you for example completed task of a random NPC then that random NPC won't give you more quests

So you gotta approach another NPC

[rose solar]

At that part where Chekhov is betrayed by the commandant, you know trackin' down Fang 'n shit. 3 hours in.

[granite mortar]

Im running around the map talking to everyone, cant get that stupid detector quest

[gaunt burrow]

Lucky detector sidequest? Have you completed Clear Skyers sidequests?

[granite mortar]

ohh
well at that point the Hunting Rifle is still good but will require more shots because soldiers have armour

[granite mortar]

which exactly?

[gaunt burrow]

Basically its like this: if you didn't completed sidequests in 1 location, then NPCs won't give you sidequests in another location

[granite mortar]

[nimble cipher]

peep.it has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[granite mortar]

back to stinky swamp I go

[rose solar]

DAMN IT WOLF, I declined that quest

It's Chekover

[gaunt burrow]

Chekhover lmfao

Good 1

[rose solar]

I like the freedom* barman, nice pothead. Interested to see how duty is going to be depicted

Anywho, good shit. Excited to play for more tomorrow

[rose solar]

Shit im probs gonna make that a meme edit now lol, off for now tho, cya'll

[naive fog]

Seeya

[gaunt burrow]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_optional_missions_in_Clear_Sky

[gaunt burrow]

Give this a look @granite mortar

[gaunt burrow]

Bye

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

You can ignore sidequests like "Capture: Encampment near truck". That very sidequest is repeatable

Just make sure to complete all item retrieval sidequests in 1 location, in order to receive other sidequests in other locations

[granite mortar]

even the upgrade sidequests?

[hot pike]

https://x.com/ShitpostRock/status/1812445184463905151

[gaunt burrow]

Flashdrive ones? Nah

[granite mortar]

oh thank god

[gaunt burrow]

In fact you can't even get all 3 flashdrives in certain location

[granite mortar]

okay now back to Cordon

[azure zealot]

Does anyone know anything about sidequests and the ingame trophys?

[gaunt burrow]

I assume you mean playstation trophies?

That I dunno. I play on PC. Feel free to ask about sidequests though

[azure zealot]

I see. So theres a side quest with duty wanting to storm freedom base where you can either join them or kill them. Where can i find them? I found literally 0 Videos to that

[gaunt burrow]

Join them as in join their faction? If you mean it like that then you cannot join any faction in SoC except Freedom. And even then game doesn't intends you to join it

[azure zealot]

No i meant join them when they storm the base

[gaunt burrow]

You just take out the Freedom sniper and then follow Skull and the rest of his guys

After that Freedom sniper will be down they'll explode the wall with dynamite

There you can just help them

[azure zealot]

Where can i find the Dudes to start the quest?

[granite mortar]

At the farmhouse south of map entrance

[gaunt burrow]

the Abandoned farmstead to the west of Freedom's base

Look for a Dutyer called Skull (hes the 1 that can give you quests)

[polar orchid]

booted up my soc save from months ago, some random loner hates me and shooting at me i dont even know what i did lol

[gaunt burrow]

NPCs don't agro without a reason. You either accidentally hit him or killed his friend

[polar orchid]

hmm maybe those were loners that i killed for a mini mission

i thought they were bandits

[gaunt burrow]

Assasination quests yeah. That must be it

[polar orchid]

helped a duty guy ambush a bunch of people i saw black through the trees it was maybe loners in black coats

[gaunt burrow]

Usually when you kill assasination quest target and hes with other loners then they turn hostile after his death

[polar orchid]

lol i dont wanna kill any loners theyre chill

these guys shot at me first just for being with that duty guy they saw me and started blasting... then i helped a loner in a building. now random loners attacking me.

[gaunt burrow]

Are you referring to Dark Valley? I assume loner in a building is that random loner NPC you save nearby bandits base

[polar orchid]

yeah

[granite mortar]

I talked to every Loner squad leader in Cordon, nobody has the mission

[gaunt burrow]

Dark Valley loners only get agressive after you'll fall for a Gauss Rifle scam and enter/try to enter that farm

But if you ignore that scammer guy they shouldn't be aggressive

[gaunt burrow]

Weird. Which item retrieval quests have you completed so far?

At Cordon I mean

[granite mortar]

just the PMm at swamps
Nothing else anywhere

Loners wont give me the Detector quest
Do I need to finish Wolfs quest?

[gaunt burrow]

Bruh

Continue doing item retrieval quests

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

Otherwise in other locations you simply won't receive other sidequests

[polar orchid]

i'm trying to get to just do a quick run aoround each area and make it to the wish granter lol

[granite mortar]

So I need to complete all at swamps?

[polar orchid]

i just want my wish

[granite mortar]

Because I finished PMm and didnt take any more from Clear Sky

[gaunt burrow]

Not just at Swamps, but in other locations as well

[granite mortar]

again, I dont have any active tasks besides story ones :/

[gaunt burrow]

Not completing all item retvieval sidequests in 1 location softlocks you from receiving other sidequests in other locations

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

Thats why loners aren't giving you quests

[azure zealot]

Welp i killed them at somepoint

[gaunt burrow]

@granite mortar once you complete "Return Item: Leather Jacket" quest you can move to Cordon and receive and complete lucky detector, magic vodka and special medkit sidequests

After those quests next one will be about Trophy AKM

[indigo marsh]

No wonder bandits weren't giving me side quests

[gaunt burrow]

Ye its wacky

[indigo marsh]

Except the couple capture x missions

[gaunt burrow]

Game actually doesn't tells players such details

[indigo marsh]

Probably bc it's a bug

[gaunt burrow]

Causing confusion

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

Does SRP fix this?

Lemme check

[gaunt burrow]

No idea

[indigo marsh]

SRP makes some NPCs immortal

I couldn't find it

Might have missed it

[indigo marsh]

Removed the out-of-place AK-74 from Scar's starting inventory which was introduced there by patch v1.5.09.

I wish SRP didn't do it

[gaunt burrow]

I kinda understand why they did it tbh

Scar somehow already has AKM-74/2 in his inventory after waking up

Never made sense to me

[indigo marsh]

Maybe it was his backup rifle

The VSS is a good DMR

But maybe he needs something with common ammo

And he stored it properly

And he had the VSS out during the cutscene

So it might have been dropped

[gaunt burrow]

His trenchcoat got ruined, Lebedev said that Scar almost got eaten by pseudodogs

"And thirdly, you nearly got torn into shreds by a pack of pseudodogs. But our boys got you out just in time"

[indigo marsh]

Maybe the scouts found it near him

[gaunt burrow]

Even if that AKM was well hidden how would Scar have hold of it?

[gaunt burrow]

Maybe

[indigo marsh]

Also scar is him

[gaunt burrow]

That does seem logical but still. It would make more sense if Scar would get it bit later

Instead of AKM magically appearing in his inventory right in the beginning

[indigo marsh]

And it could not be damaged bc it's an AK (I don't believe the AK is indestructible but I really want a rifle so I don't need to use the krinkov)

[celest blaze]

@indigo marsh check out what i posted in #📸┃screens_and_videos lol

[indigo marsh]

They got disintegrated

[celest blaze]

i thought theyd avoid it

[indigo marsh]

Also your PC was in the process of disintegrating too

[celest blaze]

yeah it did NOT like that at all

[torn solar]

Hey dev, how is Bordeaux

[static compass]

So did they ever show what the edition skins look like?

[raven grove]

One best be Sid

[polar orchid]

is the stalker 2 multiplayer supposed to be small team game, arena kinda gameplay?

i hope they got some objective type games, capture an artifact like ctf, assault or something like that

[celest blaze]

i feel itll be like how it was with the trilogy but idk if there is any confirmation

im really hoping for faction war mode id love conquest style objectives

[polar orchid]

how big were the maps?

and was that just deathmatch?

facion war would be interesting, would be crazy if the player count is quite high like 32 or 64

[covert slate]

the multiplayer modes are TDM/DM/CTF

and the maps where sectioned off locations, like the Army Warehouses, Cordon Car Park, etc

[celest blaze]

id love if we had 64 player faction war ngl

i wanna fight for limansk

[warm linden]

I'm kinda sad ngl, drewskis video about the original stalkier trilogy has less views than his gamma videos

[celest blaze]

[warm linden]

clearly never seen peak

[granite mortar]

Good
His trilogy videos are abysmal dogshit

While his gamma videos are just dogshit

[celest blaze]

we need good youtubers to push the trilogy

[granite mortar]

We have Anomalous

[celest blaze]

the world WILL play clear sky

[granite mortar]

They will play Peak Sky and was hey will f*cking enjoy it

[celest blaze]

ONG

i played gamma for like a week until i got burnt out and bored why is it so popular

[warm linden]

I'm happy that it did give exposure to the originals though

[celest blaze]

its nothing like the trilogy

[warm linden]

people often forget it's a freeplay mod that isn't canon

[granite mortar]

Exposure in form of telling people to skip one of the games and play mid as hell mod instead

[warm linden]

gamma does things to appear more realistic but it doesn't fit into the world of stalker

[celest blaze]

CoTZ is atleast friendly non canon

[covert slate]

yeah

[warm linden]

no, you're lying to me
what game and mod

[celest blaze]

he did

anomaly and true stalker and he said to skip clear sky

[covert slate]

scroll up goober

[granite mortar]

He told people to skip Clear Sky and play True Stalker

[warm linden]

that is a freeplay mod but at least it tries to stay lore friendly

[warm linden]

why would bro tell them to skip peak

[granite mortar]

Because he is a retard

[celest blaze]

i remember shitting on the video

[warm linden]

clear sky has the best combat in the series, the hell you mean skip it

[celest blaze]

ong

[granite mortar]

It also has best music

[celest blaze]

and best lighting and atmosphere

[granite mortar]

Combat OST 3 my beloved

[warm linden]

bro called clear sky prologue dlc

[celest blaze]

bro doesnt realize its a full fledged game

[granite mortar]

okay thats too much for me
Sleeping time

Its 4:30am

[celest blaze]

This is kinda controversial but clear sky shits all over soc

[warm linden]

I-

[celest blaze]

Oh I meant that towards drewski

[warm linden]

How can someone have so many wrong opinions about games

[warm linden]

I know I'm just shocked at how brain damaged someone can be

[celest blaze]

Same

Honestly if I didn't play the trilogy and know the lore gamma would boring and confusing af

Mfs asking to remove mutants and magic damage from their game

[warm linden]

the fact he recommended true stalker despite how just absurd it is says a lot

I would have understood if he said something like, oh I wouldn't recommend clear sky but if you're going to play it at least play it with ZRP or ABR
then it wouldn't be as bad

[indigo marsh]

I disliked the combat OSTs

[celest blaze]

Ngl I didn't play with them on

[wet lark]

Any mod without anomalies and mutants on stalker should be taken down and the owner shot and dumped off in some hole in the earth in the middle of nowhere

I cant talk about what things should be done to the maker of the mod, itd get me banned

[warm linden]

fun fact, anomaly messes with the scripts for the rostok arena

example, during the final fight all of the ai targets the player instead of eachother and the gun you use has a terrible scope

[wet lark]

Do you die forever in the arena for anomaly

[warm linden]

wdym

[celest blaze]

Bro what I just discovered you can alt tab out of cotz lol I'm used to playing old games that would crash and fail if you did (morrowind)

[warm linden]

alpha centauri when I dare alt tab (I actually cannot)

[vestal ermine]

please tell me if the release date will be moved

[celest blaze]

it wont

[warm linden]

I find it funny that nsfw magazines count as repair items in anomaly

[celest blaze]

same i feel thats weird

youd think theyd help recover psy health if anything

[warm linden]

painkillers in anomaly are so overpowered that a burer did no damage to me

I was only wearing a leather jacket

[vestal ermine]

Really? is the game in the finishing stage? incredible ❤️

[wet lark]

If you go to the arena in anomaly and die do you perma die

[warm linden]

I don't quite understand

[wet lark]

In the original games if you died in the arena you wouldnt perma die

You would respawn, do you stay dead in anomaly if you die even once in Arena

[warm linden]

If you die you have to reload a save

[wet lark]

...oh

I forgot anomaly isnt all perma death

[celest blaze]

anomaly SUCKS ong

i have an army of duty members with me for a quest its based

[warm linden]

funny thing there is a overdose mechanic in cop gunslinger, it's really bad

[celest blaze]

wait fr ? lol that feels so random

[warm linden]

yeah, you need to have antidote to fix it

like, an unholy amount

[warm linden]

we should have never left the garden of eden

[celest blaze]

Ong haha

[warm linden]

what I do like about anomaly though is that I can't see anything when it's dark

[celest blaze]

One last thing about cotz I had a freedom member surrender to me on his knees so I gave him a med kit and spared him but the duty bros executed him anyway

[warm linden]

night is completely pitch black

[celest blaze]

I love pitch black nights is so immersive

[hidden stratus]

Peanut Butter

[celest blaze]

Jelly

i just found a unisg outfit in COTZ i thought that was mainly an anomaly thing

[warm linden]

anomaly is very funny, I lost reputation for defending myself from a guy shooting me

[spring apex]

unisg seva right? nah it dates back to original 1.12 call of chernobyl. there is remnants there

basically freedom seva reskinned lol

[warm linden]

the hell does the game want me to do, not defend myself?

If someone points a gun at me I am going to take hostile action

[raven grove]

I get that sometimes if I'm doing bandit mob hit missions. Go smoke a renegade, but they're "allies" to the bandits

[lethal orchid]

bought a bunch of stalker patches off aliexpress

and a couple of amazon, I'm only missing ecologist and military

spent a total of maybe 20 dollars, but those two were like 15 bucks each

[raven grove]

Check kommandostore

[lethal orchid]

oh yeah, also missing old monolith

does it ship to US?

[raven grove]

Yep

[lethal orchid]

dang sold out

[raven grove]

They do restock, they didn't have a freedom patch before, now they're back in. Ordered the patch from a patch shop about three months ago and never got it lol

[wet lark]

As it turns out we werent in ukraine, we were in california all along

[static compass]

You guys think Strelok would bother with freedom and duty or that he wouldn't care?

[celest blaze]

Naw not seva just a standard unisg

[celest blaze]

Same here I got shot at by freedom and got the message you killed innocent stalker!

[lethal orchid]

Wouldn't care

Staying in either has little utility to him

In fact, siding with one over the other removes the possibility with trade at the other

Same with degtyarev

He wouldn't even do the side missions, I'd imagine

Marked one is at least somewhat invested

[static compass]

True, I'm just trying to get through them all before Stalker 2 drops lol

[vestal ermine]

Hello it is me again. My friend got lost and doesnt remember which preorder he bought. I ask for him (hes pus* ) how to check it?

[lethal orchid]

check the bank statement

just search through his email

@vestal ermine

[celest blaze]

Didn't he get a receipt aswell ?

[vestal ermine]

He says he deleted the emails XD

[lethal orchid]

bruh

Where did he buy it off of

Steam or the website

or was it physical?

[vestal ermine]

h bought it via the website, he doesnt remember what he ordered and whether he took the cd or what xD Im dying for it

Fuck, the guy is a fan of freedom, so im not surprised he doesnt know whats going on XDDDD 🚬

ill try to convince him to come here

Duuuuudeee xD

[brisk wagon]

When STALKER2 gone to gold?

[celest blaze]

Peak freedom member Ong

[pearl jacinth]

52 days remain

until they make Ukraine real

[hidden stratus]

That's atleast 52 days

[vestal ermine]

I dont know. He has the game in his steam library, but he doesnt know anything xd I dont want to do more as an intermediary. If you have any advice, i'll be grateful.
he'll have to come for the rest himself

Lmao my brother asked me the other day where to start with stalker, I said play SoC and he told me his friends said to play anomaly first, I was appalled

[worn oar]

Save your brother from braindamage man

[finite dragon]

i started with clear sky since i saw dad play it when i was 8

lmao

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[warm linden]

I'm guessing most people playing it because it's free to play

[cyan canopy]

Free to play but it aint stalker

[warm linden]

I don't really like how expensive everything is in anomaly tbh, makes everything more grindy

It clearly intends for the player to pump hundreds of hours in by making everything harder to get

[deft stirrup]

its not even hard to get its just repeat a cycle of doing missions that barely give a challenge

[warm linden]

doing the missions doesn't give me satisfaction when doing them over and over again

[deft stirrup]

at least in the originals the missions repeated but there were other types of missions and even special missions

[worn oar]

Your dad is ultra based !
Bring him in someday, we need to honor him fr

[deft stirrup]

but the special missions here are just talk to a faction leader or important npc do the crappy quest after you've done enough go to wish granter and do nothing

[deft stirrup]

my father also played stalker thats how i got to know it

[worn oar]

Nah, not entirely. People now are tactifool thirsty .. .

[worn oar]

Damn fellas, your dads are based

[deft stirrup]

i mean he doesnt play videogames anymore but i show him the stalker 2 trailers

[warm linden]

anomaly devs be like yeah lets bring strelok back for the 50th time

[worn oar]

What did he say? I'm curious fr

Bring him back to gaming when stalker 2 releases. I'm sure he'll enjoy it

Let him feel the zone again

[finite dragon]

he havent slept since 2012

[worn oar]

I mean, If I lived to see my son old enough to play stalker, and I'm no longer playing anything anymore, getting me the feel the zone again would be the greatest gift ever

Hopefully by then, it'll be stalker 4

Make sure to secure the game to reward the creators for making our dreams come true... People are already waiting for the game to be pirated. Very sad. I treat the payment as a form of gratitude for this game

[finite dragon]

same

[warm linden]

some people can't afford the cost

[finite dragon]

thinking of pre ordering the ultimate edition

but i already made multiple questionable financial decisions

[vestal ermine]

Don't justify stealing 😅

[warm linden]

I'm not going to get into this argument

[finite dragon]

its not stealing if you dont get caught

[vestal ermine]

[finite dragon]

if i stole your liver and you didnt realize it then its not stealing

its called illegally owning something for your own benefits

[versed crypt]

It's successfully stealing

[finite dragon]

[vestal ermine]

Ita still theft xD

[worn oar]

That's how things should be. Our devs are doing what they can and more to give us the game we always wanted to play.

Least we can do is have faith in them, and perorder

[worn oar]

True, but you know, it's not right..

[warm linden]

Like I said I really do not want to get into the morals of it and whether it's right or wrong

Plus everyone has their own opinions

[deft stirrup]

well he doesnt say much he just looks at the trailer and says "cool" i really wanna show him stalker 2

[nimble cipher]

vinci0702 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vestal ermine]

Oh

I understand a different point of view, I dont judge. If you dont have that kind of money, at least throw them something symbolically when you get the pirate. Please. They really deserve it

[pastel adder]

When will the physical pre orders drop 😭 I have been waiting for so long

[nova wedge]

Never. The preorders, much like the wish granter, were an illusion crafted by c-consciousness.

[pastel adder]

😔

[nova wedge]

But really we don't know. It's been radio silence. People come in here and ask that a lot. And truth is no one has any ideas, we can only guess. I broke down and had a friend from Germany help me order from there as there was still a site accepting them.

[pastel adder]

Hopefully soon, only thing we can do is hope 😭

[vestal ermine]

I pray that there wont be as many bugs in the game as with cyberpunk

[worn oar]

Let's end it here. It's better if we change the topic

[vestal ermine]

😂 ❤️

[pastel adder]

I trust that physical is soon cause we only got 7 weeks

[naive fog]

We do??

[pastel adder]

thats what steam says

[naive fog]

Damn

[vestal ermine]

Dont worry. That was the charm of the original. Personally, I was amused by how an NPC holds a gun like a rifle xDD No matter how many bugs there are, we love you!

[vestal ermine]

When the items start to disappear, everyone will call it the ,,Jamal anomaly"

😆

[worn oar]

No worries. I trust that the devs will do everything within their power to deliver the game in the best possible condition. We will probably see bugs post release, and that's when our job comes.

[gaunt burrow]

No bugs in stalker. Just anomalies

[vestal ermine]

Yes

[vestal ermine]

As I say, dont worry. Maybe the younger generations, who dont know the old parts of the game, will complain, but the old hands will have a lot of fun and have flashbacks from the original
I hope it won't be too much (bugs), because I want gsc to earn for their work xD

[warm linden]

I'm not the biggest fan of stalker but I am praying that this game is met with no controversy or drama when it releases

[gaunt burrow]

wouldn't be sure about that tbh

I can already see tons of people saying things like "this game is nothing like Anomaly"

[slender crown]

keep praying

[gaunt burrow]

many simply have false expectations

[slender crown]

i cant wait for the sea of fallout but russia comments when stalker 2 comes out

[warm linden]

we should kill those people

[warm linden]

this is what happens when a mod gets more exposure than the main trilogy combined

[finite dragon]

I feel like there are people who played the mod but not any of the actual games

[slender crown]

lots

[gaunt burrow]

aye. such people exist

[finite dragon]

Rip

[warm linden]

That would be me, started with soc, moved to anomaly then the rest of the trilogy

[gaunt burrow]

@broken latch nice pfp man

[finite dragon]

Now I'm not gonna say anything

However I'm saying something

[versed crypt]

"wHeRE's clEaR SKy?"-Anomaly fan

[warm linden]

did I do something wrong?

[gaunt burrow]

Personally I got nothing against mods. But 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

[warm linden]

I still have a soft spot for anomaly due to it's accessibility and how much you can tweak it with mods

plus it introduced me to the rest of the trilogy so I am a little biased

[marsh dome]

When trailer

[proven shadow]

Anomaly really REALLY needs some good quest mods imo
Open world is boring after a while when there is little to actually do

[granite mortar]

He should have recommended Reborn

[wet lark]

It goes both ways, its that and you have those who will instantly shit on you and treat you as if you did some great crime because you said one thing good about anomaly

The autism in this community has so many different aspects

[gaunt burrow]

I still feel like the criticism of famous mods like Anomaly is not caused by the mere existence of these mods, but by the fact that their popularity has drastically impacted the community, and not necessarily in a good way

I see your point though

[wet lark]

Yeah but people who just play it shouldnt have to suffer because of the virgins who say anomalys the best thing since sliced bread

[granite mortar]

Screw Anomaly
Goldsphere my beloved here I come

[wet lark]

There are so many mainstream people who get introduced to stalker who make the effort to look further into it, then when they go into the community and bring up anomaly they get immediately crucified by anomaly haters

[sand fiber]

good

[wet lark]

That hurts the community too, turns away a lot of people trying to get into stalker

[granite mortar]

To be fair crucifiction is pretty reasonable in this context

[wet lark]

Istg yall are the most tistic people to ever tism 💀

[granite mortar]

No

[sand fiber]

yes

[wet lark]

Atleast shes self aware

[wet lark]

What makes it reasonable tho

[granite mortar]

The fact that Anomaly is abysmal dogshit

[wet lark]

Its not that bad

It does some good things, it may not be the best mod but I dont think its the worst

[granite mortar]

I didnt even understand the question
You dropped 5 letters mid sentence

[granite mortar]

It is
Gameplay is terrible and it creates so many goddamn misconception about already established lore its crazy

[wet lark]

Doesnt it say that the lore for anomaly is separate from the lore in the trilogy

[granite mortar]

No
It doesnt state that anywhere

[wet lark]

Rip

[granite mortar]

It just exists and acts like it knows the lore

[sand fiber]

i don't care if anomaly exists, i just want more popularity to the good mods

[granite mortar]

Worst part is people who play it wont learn the actual lore and then will argue with you about it

[wet lark]

So the mod is bad, why should the mainstream people who get into stalker through anomaly be bullied for trying to get into the community and mentioning anomaly

[granite mortar]

The devs dont help much in this as they took already lorebreaking story, ported it over and made it worse by allowing mercs to participate

[warm linden]

I heard autism and I was summoned

[warm linden]

yes

[granite mortar]

Mercs would sure be interested in Streloks wisdom
Totally wouldnt shoot him on sight because he knows too much

[wet lark]

Yes

[sand fiber]

stalker as it stands now is a "weird slav tacticool thing", a perception created entirely by analmeme and gamma

[warm linden]

hai nozar hru :3

[wet lark]

That and slavjank jamfest

[warm linden]

I blame the youtubers for this

[wet lark]

Basically every mainstream "stalker" fan only likes it because its a survival tarkov with some fune anomalies and mutants

[deft stirrup]

anomaly just creates a false claim that anomaly and all the modpacks are what S.T.A.L.K.E.R is but it doesnt even come close its just a game with decent graphics cool guns and freeplay and people praise it for that exact thing which no one of us like because thats not what S.T.A.L.K.E.R is about

[warm linden]

we shit on anomaly as half joke half serious, but the people who crucify someone for enjoying anomaly without being an asshole about it are just bad

[warm linden]

bro, I'm mainstream

[granite mortar]

Even when good mods get talked about by these people
They are marketed in absolutely misleading way
Yesterday I saw a video about Spatial Anomaly called "new immersive story mod"
Its not even new
Of course thumbnail was gun inspection animation
And of course it wasnt even screenshot from the mod

[sand fiber]

i don't want to discuss the game with tarkov players, i want to play goldsphere and talk about builds with autistic furries and pretentious people

[wet lark]

I understand how and why anomaly and gamma put out a bad common misconception around stalker, but why should mainstream people trying to get into the game be crucified for pretty much not knowing any better

[deft stirrup]

u talking about this guy? #📸┃screens_and_videos

[wet lark]

I think if youve gone this far youre above mainstream

[sand fiber]

this mod scene and the game itself is unique as fuсk, there's literally nothing like it, and it all goes to waste for only a handful of people to enjoy

[warm linden]

YAY

[granite mortar]

They should be crucified for throwing insults at people who tell them to start with trilogy (yes, that happens)

[warm linden]

literally me (I'm both)

[wet lark]

Yeah I know anomaly and gamma have had bad effects on the perception of stalker, but the people getting into stalker through those mods shouldmt be criticized because they went for something that they didnt even know didnt portray the games properly

[warm linden]

I love tarkov but man that recent dlc made me uninstall

[deft stirrup]

what its like saying im gonna install the mod but not know anything about it

#📸┃screens_and_videos

[warm linden]

@sand fiber everytime I start talking about stuff mfs out here with the tism radars that go beep near me

anomaly is not bad per say it's just the community elevated it to such a high pedestal that it is stalker to them

[wet lark]

Yeah no shit Im not talking about the chair rooted cunts that defend gamma and anomaly im talking about people who are trying to get into the trilogy games

[sand fiber]

so true bestie

[warm linden]

I might be 90% I got the tism 💀 tarkov my love

[wet lark]

Not every single anomaly and gamma fan is a cunt, its mostly mainstream people who were introduced to stalker through the most popular mods

[warm linden]

good thing I'm not a furry

[wet lark]

Yeah I share the same opinion

[granite mortar]

I never saw anyone playing the trilogy get insulted for lack of knowledge
They always get everything explained its just about the way they react to these information

[warm linden]

@deft stirrup get in the electro anomaly

[deft stirrup]

at least i will repair my armor

[warm linden]

no artifact

[wet lark]

I think its a cool aspect of stalker, but its popularity has put it to the point where anyone getting into stalker (probably through anomaly) thinks thats the actual stalker experience

[deft stirrup]

if im honnest i think most stalker mods will recieve way less attention when Stalker 2 releases like a new stalker game is a whole different beast it shouldnt even be compared with the mods

[wet lark]

Well yeah lol

[deft stirrup]

so im not too worried about it i dont really care about the mods too much

[wet lark]

Hopefully when stalker 2 drops we can try to introduce the new people to the older good mods on og stalker

Imagine if anomaly 2 drops💀

[deft stirrup]

doubtful

[granite mortar]

it wont
they cant even get 1.6 out

[deft stirrup]

what its been like an year or 2 since 1.5.2 or 1.5.1

[granite mortar]

of which the biggest promised feature is "nerfing cats" which is 2 line edit in configs

[wet lark]

I hope not

[deft stirrup]

its like saying ray of hope is gonna release

[wet lark]

Anomaly should forever stay to the trilogy

[sand fiber]

call of call of chernobyl

[granite mortar]

ray of cope will release tho

[wet lark]

I sleep

Gn yall

[granite mortar]

Return to the Road to the Dead Air Anomaly Of Chernobyl

[wet lark]

[gaunt burrow]

[worthy lagoon]

They are waiting for CoC 2.0 so they can copy and paste all the configs and throw it in Anomaly and then claim all the work

[granite mortar]

have you ever seen a timezone with your own eyes irl?

[gaunt burrow]

[granite mortar]

ohh
thats smart
I didnt think they are this intelligent

[wet lark]

Sasquatch is real we have photo evidence of it

[granite mortar]

yeah
thats what I thought

[worthy lagoon]

Too bad the new CoC won't release so they will be stuck like that forever

[gaunt burrow]

can you see your brain with your own eyes?

[granite mortar]

Sasquatch is real
timezones arent

[wet lark]

Exactly

[granite mortar]

no I cant
ive came to conclusion that it doesnt exist a long time ago

[gaunt burrow]

[warm linden]

[granite mortar]

[warm linden]

[granite mortar]

I dont want Socrates to die
Hes source of some great memes

[wet lark]

Nozar typing only 2 sentences rn

[warm linden]

I like Nozar

[gaunt burrow]

"If you hate Clear Sky, that means Vova Vist regularly killed you" - Socrates

[warm linden]

REAL

[wet lark]

When shes not "hmm, incorrect" to whatever you may say yes she is pretty cool lol

[gaunt burrow]

Nozar always being a pessimist and Clear Sky hater, other than that she's gud

We still love you @sand fiber

[wet lark]

I hate clear sky too

We have that in common

[gaunt burrow]

its okay, not everyone can appreciate the masterpiece

[jaunty junco]

I love clear sky

[gaunt burrow]

[wet lark]

With performance mods I imagine itd be pretty fun

[jaunty junco]

Ive got ABR on atm, thats it

[wet lark]

But barebones its rough

And thats what Im stuck with on console

[gaunt burrow]

Vanilla CS enjoyable asf for me

[granite mortar]

I love vanilla clear sky

[sand fiber]

Huh... I guess Oblivion got Lost in my Road to the North.... I really shouldn't have Returned to the Zone... And this stalker, he got lost too... His name was Alpha, i think, but it doesn't matter, we're all here seeking a Contract for a Good Life... All the Anomalies, GAMMA particles, i hear that Call of Chernobyl, the call of Miracolous Crystal, Given By The Stars, i heard someone reached the center of the Zone and got REBORN on his way to Valley of Whispers... This Wind of Time... I felt it back in the Spatial Anomaly... We were prepared there, a part of the science group, ate oily Solyankas, got the New Arsenal. After our failure we still wanted to Reclaim this Project, and yet... My friends, after this, some of them wondered How to Join Duty, some of them considered getting on the Darkest Path... Our journey was a Game of Souls, for sure.
New Level Changer 7.

[warm linden]

we love you nozar

[granite mortar]

only valid form of modded Clear Sky is Reborn

[wet lark]

That was her 2 sentences

[granite mortar]

this is some schizo shit
I love it

[wet lark]

My favorite was CoP

CoP takes all the good things from 1 and 2 and blends them all together

[gaunt burrow]

I'm replaiyng CoP rn

replying*

[wet lark]

Itd be nice if it was a little more difficult but I mean besides that

The game was by far the most enjoyable for me

[gaunt burrow]

Balance in CoP is non existent

only thing stopping you from getting Vintar, SVD and other OP guns in first few minutes is self control

[wet lark]

Maybe thats why it was so enjoyable..

[gaunt burrow]

Only part I had trouble with is Jupiter Underground

I prefer Clear Sky's challenging economy way more tbh

[sand fiber]

so true

[gaunt burrow]

SoC and CoP are just money farming simulator

[wet lark]

I liked all the other parts of the game but yeah the balancing couldve been better

[sand fiber]

CS turns into one too if you loot the Swamps

by the time i was at garbage i had a lot of rubles, Abakan and an upgraded SEVA

[gaunt burrow]

selling artifacts to Sid is where we're at

[wet lark]

Do yall believe that Stalker 2 will fill the shadow of its predecessors

[gaunt burrow]

ironically, Sid pays for artifacts more than even Sakharov and other NPCs

but community (huge part of it) still accuses him of being a scammer

[sand fiber]

Even SoC didn't fill the shadow of its predecessor, so no

[wet lark]

What game preceded SoC

[warm linden]

literally me ever COP playthrough
must. not. touch. vintar

[wet lark]

Are you having a manic episode im pretty sure there is no stalker -1

[sand fiber]

stalker: oblivion lost, it never got released

[wet lark]

Oh.. i feel stupid

[warm linden]

^

[wet lark]

Sorry about that

[sand fiber]

technically a part of SoC development, but is a different game entirely

[warm linden]

I'm thinking of giving it a try sometime :3

[wet lark]

So how do you know what oblivion lost was like if it was never finished

[sand fiber]

we have every desdoc, every build and every development material related to SoC

[warm linden]

because it got re released by the community?

at least it was if I remember correctly, or I'm thinking of lost alpha

[wet lark]

If i knew the answer i wouldnt be asking the question

[wet lark]

Oh okay

[sand fiber]

we had some builds even before the release of the game

you have no idea how disappointed some people felt after SoC release, expecting to see a game from all the promo material of 2004 and 2006

[wet lark]

Crazy i never heard about that til now, so why did they make SoC instead of oblivion lost?

Or was it just what was promised and then SoC didnt deliver

[warm linden]

it was a bit rushed if I remember correctly

[wet lark]

Number 1 reason why most promising games suck

[sand fiber]

somewhere in 2004 a major conceptual and atmospheric change happened, the old literary script and lots of ideas were scrapped, locations started being re-designed and the game began its transformation into SoC
it's hard to describe just how much was changed in every year of the development, what SoC could be in 2005, what OL could be in 2003, there is a good EN video on it iirc

[wet lark]

Do you have a name or link for it?

[sand fiber]

https://youtu.be/w0ImdCEZZTk?si=u36kOWq_6qv-JNpE
this one, i think

[warm linden]

nozar how are you doing tonight :3

[sand fiber]

the old literary script is currently untranslated though, but i'll prolly do it soon

[sand fiber]

awawawawawa not good, it's >35C° where i live c:

[wet lark]

Ill make sure to watch it later today

Its 530 am where i live but I couldnt sleep

[warm linden]

It's 5 degrees C rn

[sand fiber]

back in ~2000 30C° was a record breaking temperature, now 40C° is just another summer, we are all gonna die

[warm linden]

50 C is record breaking where I'm at :3

[rose moth]

POV: hard drive resest just to play gamma

i completely wiped my computer

[deft stirrup]

50 gigs of bs

[finite dragon]

Hey guys is it possible to just annihilate the renegades out of existence?

[warm linden]

I turned my anomaly into gamma without it being gamma

[finite dragon]

They currently hold no territories and gave like 30 guys

[gaunt burrow]

not really

I mean you can make it so that their faction strength will be 0

but sooner or later new Renegades will respawn

[finite dragon]

Bro

That's dumb.

They literally don't exist there are like at least 50 bodies scattered thru the swamps that I caused

And Clear Sky controls literally everything else.

[gloomy knoll]

Now i will Bring a Take that Will infuriate many.

I have played the old days a dozen of Times each in all my years...and yet I do enjoy gamma a lot.even more than for example lost Alpha

[finite dragon]

Wow imagine enjoying the gameplay of a game

Absolutely despicable you should be publicly executed

[sand fiber]

yeah no wonder, Lost Alpha is a bad 2014 mod

[gloomy knoll]

I had people say its Still better than Anomaly and Gamma

[warm linden]

I would know, I played it it was, horrid to say the least

[gloomy knoll]

The cutscenes

Oh Lord the cutscenes...

[sand fiber]

play other mods idk

[celest blaze]

play COTZ instead

[forest snow]

can you not preorder stalker 2 collector edition now? or it still not out in the UK? as I thought its getting closer to release

[finite dragon]

every stalker mod is enjoyable for its reasons

[celest goblet]

LA has some pretty glaring flaws from my experience

[finite dragon]

yeah but it attracts its own audience that finds it fun

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

no lmao

[finite dragon]

even the overhated gamma have its ups and downs to others perspectives

[hazy helm]

thats like saying you cant call genshit bad because it has an audience, nha man, that shit stinks

[finite dragon]

eh guess thats a perspective thing

[finite dragon]

some people find the product good and others find it bad so its basically a statement revolving around what people finds fun in their perspective

[hazy helm]

you can still critique something despite ppls views being subjective

[finite dragon]

yep

but thats your opinion and i respect it

[warm linden]

someone did it, someone finally made a mod that removed anomalies from stalker anomaly

[finite dragon]

people always have different opinions from each other but we should respect it even if it was stupid

[celest blaze]

[warm linden]

hold on I'll send the link in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

yhea and?
its like jumping into a conversation about meat and saying that potato salad is good and dipping out

[finite dragon]

yeah sorry lol

[celest blaze]

another reason to hate anomaly players

[warm linden]

MFW IM PLAYING ANOMALY

[celest blaze]

these mfs should just play tarkov or dayz

[celest blaze]

you are one of the good ones dont worry

[warm linden]

god I hate the anomaly discord sometimes for making stuff like that

[celest blaze]

( i mainly refer to the never played the trilogy and think they are old dumb games kind of anomaly players who think anomalies are magic damage )

[finite dragon]

i play anomaly since its the mod that introduced me to modding the xray engine

[celest blaze]

COTZ > Anomaly

[finite dragon]

but generally i find anomaly unnecessarily hard

[celest blaze]

same tbh

i like anomaly for its 64 bit engine but thats about it i dislike 32 bit engines

[finite dragon]

and even if you x64 ify this engine its still buggy maybe even buggier

[hazy helm]

🤷‍♂️ always found anomaly actively harmful to modding, but to be completely fair, its not like CoC is a good platform to mod

Dollchan creator literally ran away from it bc it aint that good...

[celest blaze]

i wish anomaly was just an updated CoC or CoTZ it added alot of bloat and unnecessary things

[cyan canopy]

We had Old World Addon

[celest blaze]

I still gotta play that

I'm about 4 days into my cotz run it's alot of fun

[cyan canopy]

i can send the CoP Weapon to you

[celest blaze]

Sure that sounds good

[cyan canopy]

but dont expect some bug though

[forest snow]

has anyone bought the stalker collector edition yet?

[icy prism]

Good morning yall

... well, this new week may be a TIME OF OPPORTUNITIES... so

Guys, can we have new gameplay footage of STALKER 2 today? Thx in advance

Are there sub packs of anomaly?
Would be great if we had Normal Stalker experience (graphics Upgrade)and Hardcore difficulty for people needing it

[celest blaze]

Hmm good question actually I haven't looked much into anomaly the only sub packs I know of are gamma and efp and those are pretty far from classic stalker

I remember trying vanilla anomaly last week and within a few minutes hip died in a fire fight and I thought that was pretty based

[broken latch]

Ty I drew it

[granite mortar]

closest to normal stalker you get is Old World

[earnest bear]

And efp cals anomaly an arcade shooter

Maybe they should add drones and artillery to get the True ukraine Survival Feeling
Needing 2 years and hundred thousand respawns to move a few kilometers

[earnest bear]

Ty need to take a look into that

[granite mortar]

Its only acceptable way to play Anomaly
But even then you are better playing CotZ

[celest blaze]

Ong If they want survival sim why not go to ukraine irl and fight russians there's no mutants and anomalies its very realistic

[granite mortar]

Immersive with good graphics
Peak Tarkov like game

[warm linden]

I can chuck you my mod list if you want, just stuff I think is fun and doesn't change the game too much (at least for me)

[celest blaze]

Sure send it my way I'll check it out down the road

AYO lv 25

[granite mortar]

nice

[celest blaze]

As a vet people should listen when I say anomaly is now illegal

It honestly feels so weird to be fighting monolith in the great forest

[earnest bear]

?

[celest blaze]

Oh I'm lv 25 now was just making a small joke since my name is purple without the boost role

[granite mortar]

[warm linden]

I'm level 23

[celest blaze]

I don't mind if people play anomaly but PLEASE play the trilogy first

[granite mortar]

37 :3

[earnest bear]

Playd the first stalker on hard now I am stuck with the scientists in that pyramid Bunker and I am out of bullet's for the ak

[granite mortar]

crazy

[celest blaze]

You got things to sell ?

[granite mortar]

you dont have a pistol?

[indigo marsh]

Congratulations on veteran 🎉🥳

[celest blaze]

I'd hunt some artifacts for quick cash

[celest blaze]

Thank you

[indigo marsh]

[pseudo rivet]

Don't got an alternative weapon? 5.56, Viper 5 or a shotgun?

Welcome Zombified Ryan Gosling

[earnest bear]

Yea eating bullet's and not giving much Back

[celest blaze]

My cotz run is going good so far got m40 gas mask, unisg outfit, styer aug and MP 153 semi auto shotgun @indigo marsh

[pseudo rivet]

What about money? Can you buy an alternative weapon?

[celest blaze]

Aim for the head

[indigo marsh]

Yeah I joined Gosling gang bc the PFP matching with Chymo, tourist, and nareatos was done.

[pseudo rivet]

I'm sure Sakharov sells both the IL 86 and the Chaser, which would be pretty good against Zombified Stalkers

Gosling Gang fr

[earnest bear]

I somehow made it back it seams

150 rounds of 5.56
34 of 5.45
85 rounds of 12x70
32 ACP

[granite mortar]

thats usable

[warm linden]

If you do get back into anomaly I recommend the new levels mods, it's got a pretty neat storyline for promzone

[pseudo rivet]

34 is a bit low, but yeah, that's acceptable. Just aim for the head. I suggest putting your gun into single-fire mode

[sand fiber]

meow

[pseudo rivet]

That or you can buy weapons from Sakharov

[celest blaze]

Looking forward to it I heard they are pretty fun to explore

[granite coral]

Media again omg...

[pseudo rivet]

Real

[earnest bear]

Did that but even the upgraded akm sometimes don't want to hit

Also how I am supposed to deal with huge amounts of small mutant's dogs and whatever those small two legged monster are

[pseudo rivet]

Rodents?

Pistol's your best bet

[warm linden]

they have player made cutscenes, they are actually decent and not buggy

[celest blaze]

Oh those rats

[celest blaze]

Haha

[pseudo rivet]

Like, even 9x18mm or 9x19mm kill them with one shot

[celest blaze]

Thoughts on meadow ? @warm linden

[toxic kraken]

Is ordering collectors not possible anymore

[icy prism]

can you imagine that, canonically, Skif's 3D model is inspired by Ryan Gosling (just as Strelok's was inspired by Vincent Stone)?

[loud gate]

It is.

[icy prism]

that would be GOD

[warm linden]

pretty good honestly, forested area done well

WAIT WHY DO THE SCIENTISTS HAVE A MONOLITH BLADE

[icy prism]

@glossy blade, question... Since so far all STALKER 2 cinematics presented are in first person... will we have chances to see Skif's appearance at some point during our walkthrough?

[granite mortar]

[warm linden]

[granite mortar]

because screw logic

[celest blaze]

Scientists out here stacking mono bodies

[glossy blade]

you wanna see his majestic looks?

[warm linden]

REAL

[warm linden]

now I'm curious as well

[icy prism]

yes!!

[glossy blade]

can't say of course

[toxic kraken]

Hmm OK ty. Can't figure out why it always says unavailable. Might need to vpn it I guess

[glossy blade]

what do you think he looks like?

[pseudo rivet]

Ryan Gosling

[warm linden]

Ryan Gosling

[warm linden]

be me
name myself ryan gosling at birth
play monolith

[icy prism]

young for sure, his voice sounds like someone in his 20-30's... but beyond that I have no idea... he could very well look like Ryan Gosling.

[celest blaze]

Goes HARD AF

[loud gate]

Maybe he's played by Ryan Gosling

[celest blaze]

I kinda wanna do a gosling monolith run

[icy prism]

give us a clue, please... or at least tell us if we will be able to know his face at a later time.

[celest blaze]

You will

[icy prism]

literally stalker

[celest blaze]

He's in chat rn hes literally me

[pseudo rivet]

Ryan Gosling Run would be running with a blade, Knife Only Run

[celest blaze]

True chad gameplay

[warm linden]

that's what I've been doing in most of anomaly lol

[celest blaze]

Let them keep their fancy shooters all I need is a blade

[pseudo rivet]

Oh wow, I'm earning XP faster than I thought

Level 101, here I come

[celest blaze]

[pseudo rivet]

@glossy blade
Assuming you've played a bit of HoC already, which of the weapons posted in #📰┃announcement is your personal favorite? SVU-MK S-3, M860 Cracker, Zubr-19, SA Lavina or Kharod?

[cyan canopy]

Damn lot of Ryan Gosling in here

[glossy blade]

I like big boom

[still ridge]

[pseudo rivet]

Would that be the SVU-MK S-3 or M860 Cracker?

[icy prism]

so RPG?

[warm linden]

@celest blaze check dms

[loud gate]

What is your personal favourite thing about the game in general tho?

[granite coral]

Gauss maybe?

[glossy blade]

out of those in the video it is M860

[pseudo rivet]

Based

Obviously Mol1t has taste

[glossy blade]

Bayun, I like cats

[granite coral]

Mol1t the Bayun

[granite mortar]

[pseudo rivet]

Zubr-19 seems interesting to me, although the smaller caliber might make it less appealing

[still ridge]

Mr Mol1t I can’t wait much longer… I need more

[loud gate]

Hmm, ok, but design-wise visually, gameplay-wise, how?

[warm linden]

oh you like cats you say? **I have many many candidates **

[granite coral]

Mol1t: Eat my rock

[pseudo rivet]

Bayun sticker when?

[cyan canopy]

Help me!

[indigo marsh]

[cunning onyx]

So is the LA82 rifle good for anything? I have a AK and a SIG atm. RL names beacuse I dont remember the ingame names.

[granite coral]

Mol1t the cute Bayun when? @glossy blade

[pseudo rivet]

Which game?

[indigo marsh]

I swear if this is about that dumb chicken nugget

[cunning onyx]

SoC

[pseudo rivet]

Depends on where you currently are in the game, tbh

[loud gate]

Never trusting voices again

[cunning onyx]

Lets see I just helped the biosuit wearing scientist. Now looking for info on... X16

[indigo marsh]

I think SGI 5k is the better rifle

[sand fiber]

no not really

[pseudo rivet]

Ah, at that point, I'd go for either the AK or the LA82 IF you want to use it as a sort of poor man's sniper

[warm linden]

gonna go sleep :3 goodnight

[sand fiber]

it's the worst rifle in all three games

[pseudo rivet]

Goodnight

[sand fiber]

goodnight!!!!!

[pseudo rivet]

SIG is kinda bad in SoC, tbh

[indigo marsh]

But the ak might be better depending on how much 556 ammo you have (or don't have in this case)

[warm linden]

<3

[pseudo rivet]

LR-300 outperforms it

[cyan canopy]

GP-36 is best

[gloomy knoll]

The LA82 was made to reflect its RL version perfectly.

[sand fiber]

blasphemy

[pseudo rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cunning onyx]

The NOT M4 AR keeps jaming every 5 rounds XD

[gloomy knoll]

FN F2000 my beloved

[indigo marsh]

M4

[pseudo rivet]

LR-300 is pretty good, tbh. Just be sure you're not using a crappy one that has low reliability already. Same goes with any other gun

[indigo marsh]

Why do mods keep replacing my beloved LR 300 with a M4

[cyan canopy]

LR-300 with CS/CoP AK74 sounds 💟

[vernal magnet]

"help step stalker im stuck" - me about to get Bayun'd

[cyan canopy]

[pseudo rivet]

When it comes to CoP specifically, almost every gun is equally good
