[celest blaze]

Goodnight @gaunt burrow 👑

[granite mortar]

Still have to finish Messenger
And I have lot of mods I want to play before executing my sanity in cold blood

[indigo marsh]

Gn vro

[granite mortar]

Gn besite

[pseudo rivet]

Goodnight dawg

[indigo marsh]

Do those a lot of mods include reborn

[naive fog]

It can look like that but I use it in combo with the lil stick things and make my own bases and it comes out real nice

[indigo marsh]

Or return of scar 2

[granite mortar]

No
Thats one of those that will destroy my sanity

[naive fog]

I gotta buy like 3 bottles of Valhallan Blizzard and agrax tho

[pseudo rivet]

Pic?

[naive fog]

Tomorrow morning sure

[granite mortar]

I want to play Return of Scar but its pretty low on priority list

[indigo marsh]

Sounds like a skill issue :3

[naive fog]

Too dark rn

[pseudo rivet]

Play LEGO Universe

[naive fog]

I got a real nice winter paintjob on my OT-34/85 today tho

[indigo marsh]

It's really nice

I reached the garden before leaving to do some work

[indigo marsh]

Also is NS on that list

[granite mortar]

Yeah I wanted to play these lego games
Ill probably get different ones tho

[pseudo rivet]

Oh dang, you already played it? Based

[granite mortar]

No

[naive fog]

Guys I'm getting some stuff in September how many maykas do y'all think I should get

[granite mortar]

Uhh
Yeah
Whatever you say Crispy

[shy moss]

Chat does it make sense for Duty to have mechanised infantry and infrastructure in their controlled zones?

[indigo marsh]

Not really

[pseudo rivet]

Referring to Inever

[indigo marsh]

Makes more sense for Monolith or military

[shy moss]

Aight

[indigo marsh]

Yeah a bit

[shy moss]

Ill keep Duty to small infantry divs

[pseudo rivet]

No, not really. Especially with the Zone being especially hateful towards vehicles

[granite mortar]

[shy moss]

Just crushed a small group of loners curely

[indigo marsh]

It will be nice to play it and relax before starting a soup mod

[pseudo rivet]

Hey, it's you who doesn't want to play LEGO Universe, don't act all sad

[shy moss]

Cutely*

[granite mortar]

I dont even know what that one is
All I remember is Jurassic World and Lego City Undercover

[pseudo rivet]

LEGO Universe is the MMO one

[naive fog]

I have 400 hours in Lego Star Wars the Clone Wars 3

[indigo marsh]

Lego SoC when?

[granite mortar]

uhhh
is it like a successor to Lego Worlds?

[pseudo rivet]

LEGO SW: TCW was ultra based

[pseudo rivet]

Uh, it went live around 2011, I believe. It was live for just a really short period

[indigo marsh]

Not Lego batman

[pseudo rivet]

[granite mortar]

oh damn
not sure if I can get a copy then

[naive fog]

I still have the OG Polish disk of the Lego Star Wars Collection ( idk how I forgot the name )

[granite mortar]

back when I was interested in Lego games I wasnt exactly fan of superheroes so...

[pseudo rivet]

No worries, you can just download it, just like me an inever

[granite mortar]

Skywalker Saga

[naive fog]

Ye mb

[granite mortar]

oh
🏴‍☠️

[indigo marsh]

It's free

[pseudo rivet]

Well, with the game's code being given to the community, it's not piracy

[indigo marsh]

There are multiple clients but the one Crimson gave me is brick mesa

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

Think it's the best one around, from what I've heard

[naive fog]

Imma download doom 64 tomorrow if I'm feelin it

[pseudo rivet]

Based

[naive fog]

Only problem is recently I've been feeling real Slavic and playing enlisted non stop with mayka, ushanka and kvass

[granite mortar]

play Hrot

[indigo marsh]

Hrot?

[granite mortar]

yes
its Doom like boomer shooter set in post catasrophe commieblock

really good game honestly

[indigo marsh]

It looks like doom mixed with stalker

[naive fog]

Sure but first I gotta play doom 64, I'm an embarrassment of a person cause Ive played doom 3 so much and haven't even touched doom 64

[granite mortar]

damn

[sand fiber]

doom eternal playthrough when

[naive fog]

Later I got a ton of shit to play

I have a full list

[sand fiber]

how much?

[naive fog]

For now it's doom 64, replay doom 3 + dlc, replay the entirety of metro in Russian, replay CS again, RttN, maybe a bit of Quake Champions, enlisted and SoT with the boys

And probably some shit I don't remember

Oh ye I wanna replay doom 2 as well

[celest blaze]

Based game list

[kindred dust]

nah my teammates in pripyat-1 are actually somewhat useful

[granite mortar]

where Hrot?

[naive fog]

Oh ye that's somewhere in there now

I'll take a look at it tomorrow

[granite mortar]

its real good
you probably wont get majority of the refferences but even then its really enjoyable

[naive fog]

Maybe, I live under a rock

I don't know anything what's happening rn

Only celebrities I really know are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronnie Coleman and Sylvester Stalone

[nimble cipher]

goredfs has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[naive fog]

Schwarzenegger the most

[kindred dust]

why are snorks so freaking (boo hoo cant use bad word) tanky

[naive fog]

I'd say my back feels like a snorks sometimes

[indigo marsh]

Use a shotgun to effectively deal with them

[kindred dust]

same

i forgot to bring one

[naive fog]

I can't lie down on hard surfaces and use like 60% of chairs

Bit of the spine is sticking out near the top or some shit

Not that bad tho

[indigo marsh]

Loot it off someone if you get a chance to

[kindred dust]

the thing is that i could get it in the start of the tunnel at pripyat 1

but i forgot about it :(

[indigo marsh]

Oh damn

[kindred dust]

now im forced to shoot them with an assault rifle

[naive fog]

Based Metallica enjoyed found

[kindred dust]

thanks

they keep killing zulus

this mf so weak i cant

[naive fog]

That shit looks good, might cop it soon

[granite mortar]

[hybrid pebble]

i collected items from nimbles stash ontop of the train but it still shows on the map. is there a way to remove the marker?

[granite mortar]

just ignore it

[hybrid pebble]

ok

[nimble cipher]

goredfs has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[kindred dust]

cant zulus heal or sum shit

[granite mortar]

no

[kindred dust]

this dude so weak

my grandma would kill these snorks

[granite mortar]

skill issue

[kindred dust]

well yeah

zulus has skill issue

if his ass cant fight off snorks 4v3 then he deserved it

[granite mortar]

no
you have

my Zulu never dies

[kindred dust]

well what can i do

if his ass cant heal

maybe its zulus who needs to get good

[granite mortar]

maybe you need to kill the snorks

[kindred dust]

maybe i cant since he dies even before they attack him

he literally fell and died for no reason

heart attack

or no enough vodka

[indigo marsh]

For me Sokolov was the strongest and Zulu was second

Vano and Strider died the most

[kindred dust]

nah you know what, i'll just leave his weak ass dying there

he dies in 1-2 hits

[granite mortar]

I always have my priority to keep Vano alive

Strider too because he has some badass stuff later on in P1

[indigo marsh]

Strider was the most stupid

[kindred dust]

vano is my fella

[indigo marsh]

Like go behind me and I'll deal with the snorks

[granite mortar]

he went through "years long coma" while having his brain fried

[indigo marsh]

I am op enough to deal with them all

[kindred dust]

literally the same but with this dumbass zulus

[indigo marsh]

True true

[indigo marsh]

They were all equally my priority

But some can be more annoying than the others

[granite mortar]

I only care about Vano because hess just too pure for the Zone

[indigo marsh]

Cough cough Vano strider

[kindred dust]

my god, he finally survived

[kindred dust]

yeah vano is cool

vano just shot a dead snork 3 times

[indigo marsh]

[nova wedge]

Intelligent behavior at work

[polar orchid]

where do you think is the best place in soc to stash all your stuff?

the bar?

[kindred dust]

do npcs regenerate health overtime?

[kindred dust]

sidor's basement, he wont sell it

[polar orchid]

aren't all the blue boxes safe?

[granite mortar]

boxes of all colours are safe

[kindred dust]

what if i take my suit off in the tunnels under pripyat

[granite mortar]

like snorks

[polar orchid]

i've been collecting all my junk and moving it, selling most of it to barkeep

been a mission

[granite mortar]

you can tame them with Mechenka

no
you give them Mechenka and they will be friendly and will attack bandits for you

you can put saddle on them and ride them to battle

but for that Boars are better
their only downside is being tamed using Degtayrovka

[naive fog]

Bro

Cmon man he said saddle

[granite mortar]

but snorks have epic ability where they jump and throw you forward lettingyou escape dangerous situations

[kindred dust]

so uh what do i do with the door i cant open

there's no electricity and so i cant open it and i cant seem to find a generator

[granite mortar]

the snorks will emote and sing if you give them more Mechenka after taming them

[naive fog]

#💬┃en_offtop message

[granite mortar]

which door?

[naive fog]

Save yourself

[kindred dust]

well after you fight some chunk of snorks off, you open this gate and there's a big area, like a depo

still under pripyat

[granite mortar]

no
touch grass or women you horny wench

theres a generator at a platform on right side of the cupola

yeah
Like Kazotsky and shit

cossacks dance...

[nova wedge]

Funny russian soldier dance

[granite mortar]

they can sniff out stashes for you if you give them new gas mask filters and food

no
You cant sex the mutants

[nova wedge]

Well if you have some money...

[granite mortar]

thats enough internet for today

[nova wedge]

Yeah just follow these steps

[kindred dust]

i mean i found the tower and shit, but where is the generator to open the door there? i cant find it

[nova wedge]

Take your phone/computer, smash it with a hammer, take 80mg Adderall, then run around naked shouting "HOO HAA"

Doing this will unlock it in game!

You can also smash the radio, it was just an example :) any device you are using will work, even a smart fridge

Doohickey?

[granite mortar]

yeah and Im just leaving

your "intersting" topics about sexing snorks

[kindred dust]

oh so i had to climb up a tower huh

the other tower

[granite mortar]

oh yeah
topicss like "how do bloodsuckers reproduce" or "can burers be pregnant"

[kindred dust]

😭you are the only one

mods tie him up and hang him by the balls

[granite mortar]

I think drycow did too

[granite mortar]

Judging by his messages I think he might enjoy that

[celest blaze]

Keep in mind snorks are pretty much wild animals so it's almost beastiality they aren't human anymore

So let's not talk about sexing them

[kindred dust]

who cares bout that

that's not a valid point

[indigo marsh]

You're the only one who talks about it

[kindred dust]

see

[celest blaze]

Snorks aren't civilized lol

[indigo marsh]

I didn't have to but I did

[kindred dust]

now he gon find you and do one of his experiments on you

[indigo marsh]

I'll shoot him if he does

[celest blaze]

Let's talk about how gamma wishes it could be like cotz

[indigo marsh]

It wants to be more like tarkov

But where you can't buy guns

[celest blaze]

Alot of humans don't crawl on all fours, attack on sights and make make freaky sounds and cannibalize folk

[kindred dust]

even the sounds there are from tarky

like the coughing

[granite mortar]

They do
Such people are called hungarians

[celest blaze]

[kindred dust]

oh man, there are lots of people like this in our country, they actually put on their animal masks and act like animals

they crawl on all fours and bark on people

[celest blaze]

I wish I lived in the timeline where call of the zone 2 would exist

[indigo marsh]

You're not you when you are hungry

[granite mortar]

Does that mean you can call Animal Control on them?

[kindred dust]

im not from america tho

[celest blaze]

I mean I see wild people all over the world

[kindred dust]

ehh well

[indigo marsh]

That's just duty

[kindred dust]

im from Russia

[celest blaze]

Duties only purpose

[granite mortar]

You could almost say that they are Around the World

[granite mortar]

Sad

[kindred dust]

it aint that bad

[celest blaze]

Join clearsky

[kindred dust]

for me at least

[indigo marsh]

Helping ecologists, protecting rookies at rostok, researching the zone

[kindred dust]

join monolith

[celest blaze]

(I'm just meming)

[granite mortar]

Play Clear Sky*

[celest blaze]

Freedom and clearsky fighting off the hoards of monolith 🗣️

[indigo marsh]

Clear sky is kinda weak

[celest blaze]

Naw

[indigo marsh]

But CS is the strongest game

[granite mortar]

Clear Sky becoming the hoards if Monolith

[celest blaze]

I too will join the monolith I won't leave my clear bros behind

[kindred dust]

why this creepy ass mf wolf texting me saying that i leveled up

[celest blaze]

Server bot

[granite mortar]

He loves you

[celest blaze]

Bro...

[granite mortar]

Stop it
Get some help

[kindred dust]

bruh i know its a bot

i just want to know who thought it'd be a good idea to send dms

how tf do i block his ass

[granite mortar]

Stop having ideas

[nova wedge]

Why are you scared of a bot

[granite mortar]

[nova wedge]

Wolf is a good friend that I cuss out frequently when i get messaged bc I cannot say "fuck" in this server

[static compass]

I just realized if they drop the big gameplay showcase at gamescom, the game comes out roughly 2 weeks later

[granite mortar]

Yes

[static compass]

[cyan canopy]

🤝

[static compass]

From what I've heard it'll be 10-15 minutes, here's hoping

[static compass]

Snork trailer when?

[cyan canopy]

I wonder why CoC make Freedom and Clear Sky enemies eachother

[granite mortar]

So you dont want to play Clear Sky but want to molest the snorks

[cyan canopy]

i bet its just faction rebalancing

[granite mortar]

Because people who made it have severe lack of basic lore knowledge

[earnest forum]

do WHAT to the snorks

[granite mortar]

[cyan canopy]

I always set them neutral

[granite mortar]

That hurt

[cyan canopy]

Aswell Mercs and Bandits

[static compass]

Listen, I have consistently said "Snork trailer when" for roughly a year, one day it will pay off

[granite mortar]

What
Im not sure if you are talking about Clear Sky or Freedom
But in both cases one of these doesnt make sense

[celest blaze]

🫵👑

I think it's just random faction dynamics running amuk

Like in my current cotz run (loners are at war with freedom) which I kinda wild

[kindred dust]

🤝

[static compass]

Snork trailer should be next

Stalker coming to console was a mistake

[static compass]

Nah

[kindred dust]

it definitely was

from what i heard it crashes just as often as the og

[static compass]

I personally would like to see a series I love get more attention

[kindred dust]

if not more

[static compass]

I haven't had a single crash on console SoC yet

[celest blaze]

I was mainly joking due to the snork jokes

Its nice to see it getting more love an attention

I'm thankful console folks can't be corrupted by gamma youtubers

[kindred dust]

im out of the tunnels

finally

[celest blaze]

You gotta go back in

[static compass]

Stalkers yearn for the tunnels

[umbral jay]

Yantar ?

[nova wedge]

I was kind of loopy off painkillers earlier and I got a message that was something like "hey (name), nimble here!" and I thought nimble stalker was messaging me

[umbral jay]

Schizophrenia

[nova wedge]

No its just brainrot

[umbral jay]

Me when i lock myself in my house because i start hearing the military speaker from the cordon shouting at me ( There is 50 armed mens from the fbi surrounding the area waiting for me)

[umbral jay]

Also that

[indigo marsh]

@celest blaze I decided to see how fast I could get a SVD in CoP and can you guess how long it took me?

[celest blaze]

30 min?

[indigo marsh]

2 minutes

2:08 to be kinda specific

[wise timber]

Can we release stalker 2 at 11:08est

Approximately 30 seconds in the future

[celest blaze]

Holy that's fast af

[indigo marsh]

Chymo says it takes you 20 minutes to get a SVD in CoP but you can probably get it in around a minute

It's bc of broken CoP stashes

[spring apex]

you can just turn right when spawned in the world and go to sawmill for it lol

[indigo marsh]

That's what I did

But I took the way on land

Maybe I can get it in around a minute if I take the water route

[indigo marsh]

I got it in 1:16 this time

[celest blaze]

Ayo haha that's gotta be a record

[indigo marsh]

Probably not

I made a ton of mistakes

Also I am not trying it for the record

I am trying it to check Chymo's point about how easy CoP is

[celest blaze]

Fair

[indigo marsh]

At first I thought he was exaggerating

[celest blaze]

CoP was the easiest in the franchise imo played it on master start to finish

Taking the bridge to push into limansk in clearsky is harder then really anything in cop

[indigo marsh]

But now I think he is being nice to explain the broken nature of CoP looting

[celest blaze]

I wanna break CoP now that I did a proper playthrough

[indigo marsh]

I am trying to actually use a sniper that isn't a Vintar BC for this run

Bc in all the games I haven't used a sniper other than the vintar

The vintar isn't really a good sniper. It's a good rifle tho

This is what inspired me

[celest blaze]

Fr I used a Vin as a cqc rifle tbh and I may try it aswell

[indigo marsh]

Svu should be more of a challenge

But I think I'll just stick to the svd

Actually I'll sleep on it and decide when I wake up

Unless it's postponed again 🙂

[north herald]

it will not 🙄

[nimble cipher]

modulus_k352 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gloomy knoll]

And If, I wait over 10 years for another Game, a few more months wouldnt Hurt anymore

[deft stirrup]

it wont be

[north herald]

were we ever so close? I dont think so. Last time maybe the last delay, but this didnt had an proper date. It was just Q1

[covert slate]

it's crazy to think sometimes that it would have been out in March

and now we're closer to it's release than the last release date

[north herald]

exactly

[serene sequoia]

hello I don't know what stalker is but i always hear its "good"
i want to get into the game but i don't know where to start
im looking into a more recent expericience of the game whether its a modded one or not its fine
any suggestions where i start

[covert slate]

if you're looking to get into the series, it never hurts to start with the base trilogy, the games are frequently on sale if you're unsure about spending alot on them, and playing them in release order is the best way to do it

[serene sequoia]

i like looting and shooting and aside from suggestions like fallout or tarkov i hear this one thrown alot

[finite dragon]

hello beard

[covert slate]

Hello

[covert slate]

it's definitely up there with the other big games, and while they are certainly from their time they still stand out compaired to most games today

[hazy helm]

Stalker is an Action FPS focused on Exploration, it is set in a Hard Sci Fi setting
the first game is Shadow of Chernobyl, you should start there

[serene sequoia]

thanks ill start from there then

[covert slate]

again the best order to play them in is release order

Shadow Of Chernobyl> Clear Sky> Call Of Pripyat

take your time with them and get immersed into them, these are the kind of games that won't hold your hand too much and will have you figure things out on your own, which in many ways is very rewarding

if you get them on PC they will more than likely come with game manual files for you to look at, which help give a head start into understanding what all keys do what as there are alot of them you'll be using

[serene sequoia]

thanks again for answering my questions

one last thing
this game is based on a book right? do i need to read that or know anything about it to enjoy stalker

[covert slate]

Roadside Picnic was an inspiration and isn't needed to understand the games, but is still a good Dark Sci-Fi read

[steel vault]

Maybe today they release new short? They have been doing it every 3 weeks

[covert slate]

as well as the 1979 film STALKER, which was also an inspiration for the games

which was also inspired from Roadside Picnic

[sand fiber]

nope, the only thing they share is a concept of Zone and anomalies

[covert slate]

if you do decide to get into them and run into any trouble with them feel free to ask about them here, you'll always have someone who will give you genuine help

[serene sequoia]

i definitely will

[hazy helm]

the game is based on a concept but the book is very diff from the game, as well as the movie, its not a very strong link but influences can be seen

[serene sequoia]

question is gunplay good and by that i mean will i feel physical pleasure in the act of shooting someone point blank with a shotgun

[hazy helm]

umm, I think its good, its fast paced and forces you to change cover quite often, as well as encouraging short range encounters

[serene sequoia]

nice

[north herald]

but be aware that the game has some years on its back. Which is not bad but still some people could be get false advertised by most videos people show modded versions of the game

[covert slate]

one thing you will notice though is that combat at the beginning will be a bit clunky, but is purposely designed that way as you'll get better guns the further north you go and progress through the game

[gloomy knoll]

There is always an alternative to gunplay.... Rush up and knife people to death

[covert slate]

knife the barrels

[gloomy knoll]

You will possibly find a better gun...
You might possibly loose your gun...

But your knife... Your knife always stands loyal to you.

[north herald]

And be aware, you always get the stalker out of the zone, but never the zone out of the stalker

[serene sequoia]

what difficulty do i do

[hazy helm]

whatever is most comfortable for you, you can change it at any time

[worn oar]

Well, don't go beyond stalker

[serene sequoia]

stalker it is

[gloomy knoll]

my god I forgot that CS was the part where NPC's stash stuff into the camp boxes

[dapper finch]

Is there a statute of limitations on saying hi?

[warm linden]

wut

question what's happening here :33333333333333333

[dapper finch]

Like why can't you still say hi lol

[worn oar]

Exactly! I can imagine it in my head and it's neat af

[granite mortar]

they want to see them because they werent shown yet
you want to see them because you want to do untinkable things to them

[warm linden]

I don't wish to be mean :3

Oh I can think of some things alright.

I remember seeing a post asking if the stalker 2 snorks will have jiggle physics

Ok we don't need to know about your fantasies

yeah that was probably gio

I'ma just assume you mean the mask not something else

[granite mortar]

have you though if they can reproduce? or if you can enslave their babies since they technically arent humans?
No?

Clear Sky best game

Nah master for the three of them

So I was playing cop like 15 minutes ago and watched a pack of pseudodogs a bloodsucker and 2 snorks have a all in brawl was the best thing I’ve watched in a while

[warm linden]

playing stalger :3, might play cotz

[celest blaze]

Clear sky goes hard af

[earnest forum]

cotz? I only got anomaly

[celest blaze]

Call of the zone it's much better then anomaly

[earnest forum]

does it have food animations

[celest blaze]

I'm sure there's a mod for it

[earnest forum]

cause i need item animations

[celest blaze]

Cotz is closer to the og games

[earnest forum]

ooh

[warm linden]

I highly recommend call of the zone :3

[celest blaze]

💪

[earnest forum]

I'll looks into it then

[warm linden]

I love you

[granite mortar]

screw anomaly

[celest blaze]

I Love you too haha

[celest blaze]

🫵

[earnest forum]

why hate anomaly

[kindred dust]

out of the pripyat underground tunnels

well at least i was 10 hours ago

[granite mortar]

because its abysmal dogshit

[queen ice]

Most likely because it moves further away from the OG trilogy, lacks proper storylines etc

[tulip vapor]

Because they don't trick it out with 100 addons and are talking about the cruddy vanilla anomaly

[granite mortar]

if you want full list check second link in pinned messagess in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[finite dragon]

Guys I currently have the Kolobok artifact which grants me +4 health and also +2 radiation, the nightstar which increases carry weight by +10 but also gives +2 radiation and the jellyfish which gives -2 radiation

[celest blaze]

Plus cotz has better writing and quests then anomaly imo

[earnest forum]

[finite dragon]

Which one do I use in conjunction with the jellyfish

[celest blaze]

Anomalies only pro is 64 bit engine

[granite mortar]

kolobok pretty much stop Scar hemophilia
hang on the nightstar tho
it will come in handy once you find Wrencehd or Bubble

[queen ice]

Anomaly definitely kicked the bucket in the storyline department. Only thing it does well is being a very stable and modular base to create your own experience.

[granite mortar]

yea

[celest blaze]

Fr it's more a platform then a game imo

[finite dragon]

Alr. Currently using nightstar to steal freedom's guns and sell them back to them since some died to mercenaries

Carrying 68.7 kg

[queen ice]

It is, and should be treated as such

[granite mortar]

not really
its crappy game posing as platform because it cant compete with mods
truth is it sucks as platform because it tire too much to be a game

[umbral jay]

Oooh okay

[queen ice]

No point in playing vanilla anomaly

[celest blaze]

Based lol

[granite mortar]

just slap OXR onto CoP
its better platform

[earnest forum]

I like base call of prip if that counts

[celest blaze]

It's hard to wanna go back to anomaly after playing cotz and I've played gamma/efp/vanilla anomaly

[granite mortar]

not to mention anything built on CoC sucks for modding because the files are absolute mess

[celest blaze]

What? I'm saying as long as you played the trilogy that all that matters as I see so many basic questions being asked by free to play anomaly and gamma players

[finite dragon]

Moonlight artifact gives telepathy

[granite mortar]

wrong
Clear Sky is the good one and the other two drag it down

[finite dragon]

What the heck is telepathy

[celest blaze]

But honestly the ranking is cs > soc > cop

[granite mortar]

Psy resistance
Utterly useless

[granite mortar]

yes

[finite dragon]

Oh I'll have a slightly easier time fighting 1 enemy

[celest blaze]

Chad sky on top

[queen ice]

Clear sky but the skies ain’t clear

[celest blaze]

You can compare them easily

[finite dragon]

I'd rather make it so my jellyfish artifact lowers the radiation of an actually good artifact

[celest blaze]

Cop was the weakest and most rushed out of the trilogy

[granite mortar]

but good sidequests

[celest blaze]

I agree

I still love all 3 canon games

I'd still choose clear sky imo

I would as I'd play them lol

[celest blaze]

You can rank things it's natural to do

[finite dragon]

I feel like if Clear Sky didn't have the upgrade system it would be horrible

Partially why the start of the game is so weak is because you're too broke to afford good weapons or upgrade them

[west anchor]

Clear sky would be tolerable if guns didn't just jam every 9 bullets

Extending a 1 minute gun fight in SoC to a 5 minute gun fight in clear sky

[celest blaze]

i dont remember guns jamming so much

[finite dragon]

Nato guns jam a lot

The Akm 74/2 has a durability of 10000 bullets but the NATO equivalent of it has a durability of 2000 bullets

[celest blaze]

i took the chad obakan all the way to the end dont think it ever jammed

but i also repair everything i use so i dont get jams as thats self imposed issue

[finite dragon]

Btw how do you buy weed from freedom

This guy wants to sell it to me but there ain't nothing when I open up his shop

[granite mortar]

you dont

Ganja just says it as joke, you cant buy it

"Come next week, Im expecting delivery of something that will get you higher than high" is a goddamn lie

[pseudo gazelle]

Clearly he's promising you Steve Winwood's hit single "Higher Love".

[west anchor]

Clear sky forcing you to use AK's is diabolical

[finite dragon]

In none of the games?

That bastard

[finite dragon]

There's probably some other guns that also have good durability

[west anchor]

None of which will be nato

So much choice wow

Oh and instead of a rifle I can have an AK with a scope

Wow I love AKs so much I love having to use the gun I get in 2 minutes in the whole game

[finite dragon]

The TRs 301 (NATO equivalent of AK) has similar stats and may be slightly better until you realize the AK has literally 5x more durability

[west anchor]

Exactly

[finite dragon]

It's just that good of a gun man,

[west anchor]

It's really innacurate

The firing sound is ugly

[finite dragon]

You get it at the start of the game, max it out and if you want to switch to a gun that may be better you also gotta upgrade it

[finite dragon]

Upgrading it turns it into a killing machine

[west anchor]

And also why should I have to use something to avoid a feature that doesn't effect the Ai

[finite dragon]

Ah the thing that matters

[west anchor]

Yeah but again I want choice

You don't get it

[finite dragon]

Well listen Scars a little autistic so he can't properly maintain his guns so they jam and he has to pay someone else to "repair" them

[west anchor]

Gun jamming removes choice because you have to pick the perfect durability gun

[finite dragon]

I get it. However I don't care and would much rather stick to something reliable

[west anchor]

I would rather not have the game be so poorly designed that I can't pick what I use because it's not programmed to work

My gun shouldn't jam before firing

The forta shouldn't need 4 reloads to shoot once

[finite dragon]

Hold up let me find guns on the wiki that aren't that bad

[west anchor]

Let me guess obokan and ak

[celest blaze]

You sure you weren't using things that had low durability as I never had to deal with jams

Any gun is honestly fine

[finite dragon]

Okay so besides other ak variants

[celest blaze]

The m4 was fine aswell

[finite dragon]

There's the Tunder and Tank Machine Gun that have about the same durability as the ak

Well the durability doesn't matter much right? If your gun has like 2000 shots (aka full durability) it's still going to shoot the same

It's just that it'll degrade faster forcing you to repair it more often

[celest blaze]

and repairing is trivial tbh

[finite dragon]

Yeah isn't it quite cheap most of the time?

[celest blaze]

It is yes

Only time you actually need to repair is in limansk at the point of no return

[west anchor]

I'm playing for freedom so my gun repair is halfway across the map especially since the gun smith at the flea market disappeared

I don't have the time nor the money to fast travel and not enough artifacts spawn to finance jack shit in terms of upgrades

[finite dragon]

Artifacts actually DON'T spawn, they're placed in parts of the map I think, I use some map off of steam that has all the locations pinpointed

[west anchor]

That's even worse

So why even have these annoying emissions that break up gameplay if they effect nothing and all the npcs instantly reappear anyways

Because I have to sit inside for like 2 minutes and do nothing while my screen shakes

[celest blaze]

They can respawn

[west anchor]

In CoP

[celest blaze]

Emissions are part of the zone and iconic

[west anchor]

Yes

But also they're purposeful

Which CoP displays far better than clear sky. Npcs don't even shelter in clear sky they just all despawn.

They don't feel iconic at all in clear sky

It's far more impactfully used in SoC aswell when you near the end game

[finite dragon]

You know what you're right Clear Sky sucks and it's terrible

Can't even put a suppressor on my shotgun

[west anchor]

Exactly 💯

[finite dragon]

How am I gonna stealthily kill mutants that are charging at me

[west anchor]

I mean the npcs fighting was improved a lot

But they're too dumb to back up with an SVD still.

Like why do freedom soldiers who in lore are supposed to ambush just charge a man with a pkm and die

The soundtrack was good though

[celest blaze]

Bad take

Clear sky the best in the series

[west anchor]

I think he was being ironic

[finite dragon]

Can't put a shotgun on my suppressor or some shit idk

[west anchor]

With PC mods

[celest blaze]

Naw

[west anchor]

Gun jamming is that bad

[tulip vapor]

😦 It's an LR300

[west anchor]

I need it removed NOW

You can say it's realistic when the npcs start jamming guns

[celest blaze]

Stalker never was going for realism tbh

[west anchor]

Yes the zone is targeting me by jamming my guns with psi energy that's why only my guns jam

Clearly that's why nobody else has the problem but scar

[loud gate]

Well, in S2 NPC's guns may jam too

[west anchor]

BASED

It's fine as long as everyone has the problem

[celest blaze]

I mean maybe I'm based and never experienced this level of jamming

[loud gate]

Alotugh I think it's going to be much rarer for them

[wraith snow]

Why cant i bring guns Inside the Camps in Call of Pripyat

It all depends on your playstyle

[dapper finch]

Ah MP5

[pseudo rivet]

AKM-74/2U is still alright at mid ranges

Just fire in bursts

[granite mortar]

yeah
but other than wanting to use it specifically theres no other reason to keep it

[pseudo rivet]

But it literally obliterates anything point blank

[pseudo rivet]

It all depends on your playstyle

[dapper finch]

So does a shotgun

[pseudo rivet]

Does it have 40 bullets in a mag and can it still perform reasonably well at mid ranges?

[dapper finch]

Does it need to?

[pseudo rivet]

It all depends on your playstyle

[celest blaze]

Shotguns aside from like auto shotguns are irrelevant to a good rifle and a scope imo

[dapper finch]

It all depends on your playstyle

Except the Carabineer

[celest blaze]

Got such a based name but awful performance

[dapper finch]

I rarely use full auto with anything

waste of ammo/recoil control

I really only use full auto for pushing cqc trilogy taught me to tap fire and aim for head

The capacity's nice though

IL 86 Gang (CoP)

[celest blaze]

I hated the IL 86 in SoC tbh

[dapper finch]

lol worst of the lot, that's too busy being a plane to be a gun

I like the L85 but prefer the LR300

Mostly because A. I have an airsoft LR300 and B. it's also the main gun from MGSV.

[celest blaze]

I do wish we had the aug in the trilogy it's my favorite rifle

[finite dragon]

Are Mama's Beads insanely bad in CS?

I have the Kolobok which already performs it's job but prob way better

[pseudo rivet]

It literally fits your description of how you usually play

See it as a flexible poor man's sniper that can fire both single shot or automatic, while the scope can ultimately be adjusted. The silencer decreases the recoil, allowing for easy compensation in case your target didn't get killed in one shot

And due to the possibility to change caliber to 5.45, it's extremely easy to get ammo

[finite dragon]

Hey Mol1t, wanna to do the (Reverse) No Hit Holy Run?

[polar orchid]

my biggest fear about stalker 2 is that it will be the exact same map with better graphics, and most of the 64 sq km will be open empty areas

[loud gate]

you can throw that fear into the garbage can as that's not the case

[pseudo rivet]

Nope, it'll be different

[polar orchid]

how can you be so sure? a lot of the trailers i recognise lol

they look like the places im exploring now in soc

[pseudo rivet]

Recognizable =/= located at the same place on the map

The layout will be different compared to the previous games

[polar orchid]

moving them doesnt make them not the same places

[pseudo rivet]

Does it make sense? Absolutely not, but it's their decision

[pseudo rivet]

So uh, then don't play it I guess? I mean, why don't you want places to reappear?

[gloomy knoll]

idm if they got the same places and add more. I mean its not like we go into a new zone, but its the same one ever since the first game

[granite coral]

Me waiting sneakily in a corner 😎

[polar orchid]

i do. i just hope the map isn't going to be mostly the same place

Old Map is like.. lower than 25% of S2 is? lol

i just hope its not mostly open expanses

and a few extra buildings

[pseudo rivet]

And won't be located at the same places they were in the Trilogy, for a totally legit, logical reason...

[pseudo rivet]

Wait, so not like the previous games?

[polar orchid]

and i hope that old locations aren't the EXACT same, like some locations are cool in the OG games but they feel small, like they need more buildings

[loud gate]

You can enter every building in the game

At least, that's not been destroyed beyond repair

[polar orchid]

theyre mostly empty, there's nothing to find there

Watch this and you'll see how many places there are

and this is nothing compared to the real number, just an idea

[polar orchid]

you dont know how much of that is explorable

[loud gate]

EVERYTHING

[umbral rune]

Have you played it yet? (Not being antagonistic, just curious)

[polar orchid]

says who?

[pseudo rivet]

Wow, so I can go beyond the invisible wall?

[worn oar]

We do know that it's a big map. All building should be exploreable.

[loud gate]

says the map lmao.

[shy moss]

Stalkers, we have a true victory!
My mum changed the delivery location to my current home so I can finally get rid of her!

[loud gate]

[pseudo rivet]

Yo Rahmi, No Hit Holy Run continuation when?

[umbral rune]

Lol

[loud gate]

with enough trickery yes

[polar orchid]

its still gonna be a great game, i just fear it will be 40 sq km of open fields lol

[worn oar]

I don't think there will be that. it can be a clean death (rad/emission/mutant/etc..) that moment you break the map boundaries.

[still ridge]

the biggest open space is probably going to be red forest lol

Not open fields

[worn oar]

That's what I think

[polar orchid]

you gotta be realistic, there will be a lot of open fields

[loud gate]

Just look at what I sent you bro, and that's like.. 50% only of the map

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, that's kinda what Mozi said

[flint grail]

Open fields isnt an issue though?

[loud gate]

Yes, that's how it works. It was always like this and this would be the realistic way

[worn oar]

What did Mozi say? I'm Half asleep

[loud gate]

pretty sure emission

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, I don't mind open fields, as long as they aren't like the cut vehicle maps in which there's literally nothing and it's just there to act as a space between areas

[loud gate]

at least, that's how it worked in the Demo

[icy prism]

5 minutes guys!!

[polar orchid]

is it fact that emissions are caused by people making wishes?

[loud gate]

That's not gonna be the case

[still ridge]

No

[pseudo rivet]

Everything you see on the horizon is accessible

[flint grail]

Agree 100% if anything open fields are part of the scary. You are exposed and no where to hide in the event of an ambush or emission

[loud gate]

where did you get that

[polar orchid]

barkeep in soc

[still ridge]

Play cs

[worn oar]

[loud gate]

[pseudo rivet]

No? If that were the case, Emissions wouldn't happen at all, because nobody really reaches the Wish Granter whatsoever

[worn oar]

[pseudo rivet]

He doesn't say that

[still ridge]

[polar orchid]

he doesnt say he knows this, just the stories barkeep has heard the zone expands by emissions when someone reaches the wish granter and makes a wish, then he says "but that wont stop someone like you (the player) from going there to make a wish"

[pseudo rivet]

Rumor B rumor fr

[polar orchid]

i thought about that for like an hour while i played on last night lol

like damn, every time im running for cover its some sucker making a wish

in the other games, since soc doesnt have in game emissions lol

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah nah, that's one heck of a wrong conclusion, dawg

[polar orchid]

hey, its my adventure

imma think what i want

[pseudo rivet]

Headcanon isn't canon

[still ridge]

The game tells you otherwise

[pseudo rivet]

Except when it is Star Wars

[polar orchid]

yeah i cant rememebr much about the stalker games this time im paying attention, i even know who the factions are this time lol

[worn oar]

Let him finish the game first

[celest blaze]

I'm tempted to join duty in my cotz run

[pseudo rivet]

@loud gate
Inb4 we can't explore the actual 64 KM² radius around the Zone. Man, that'd be ultra wack

[granite coral]

No new update 🥴

[polar orchid]

i hope s2 isnt just a big 64 sqkm block, hopefully the playable areas are all over the place, making the "block" even bigger than 64km

[loud gate]

Wdym by "radius" Because the explorable area is ofc probably a bit smaller or bigger than 64km2

This is how maps are calculated

[pseudo rivet]

By radius, I mean 64 KM² around the Center of the Zone

Actual 64 KM²

[loud gate]

That's not how maps work

[umbral rune]

I have to agree with roskobiwan, there will probably be some chunks of open map,
Large fields and all of that . If they're trying to recreate the exclusion zone accurately there is plenty of dense woods, and open fields that look like they were never touched by man. Personally I think it's a good thing if they choose to go down this route, as one of the best parts of stalker is the downtime because it makes those moments where everything is going crazy much more impactful. The devs also said that the map is supposed to be somewhere around 64 squared kilometers big, that's slightly smaller than Rdr2, it would be unfeasable for any developer to put interesting and not reused assets over that size of map.

[loud gate]

otherwise the map would just be one big square lol

[loud gate]

It's realistic, and how the games were back then too.
