[old jungle]

It should be on the map. Although it could not be seen in Not A Paradise.

[polar orchid]

in that case, they should stop making trailers, just teasers and maybe a proper gameplay demo

[obsidian trail]

If you show the Interesting parts of ST2 wich occur at random parts of the game;the players will be even more hyped for the full game

[lethal orchid]

Is this known with absolute certainty?

[obsidian trail]

Interesting is subjective in this context

[old jungle]

yes

[north herald]

yes your right

[lethal orchid]

Nice

[sand fiber]

you can play the leaked builds and look at the leaked map

[lethal orchid]

Don't want to lol

[sand fiber]

[lethal orchid]

I won't even watch a "first 10 minutes" thing if IGN releases one

[obsidian trail]

Hopefully the labs will be more Interesting in S2

[untold salmon]

leaked build
ew

[turbid crag]

When they shown a 5 min gameplay clip + the snork before release i am happy, i dont need more

[polar orchid]

seamless probably just means similar sized maps where instead of a loading screen you follow a path and walk right into the other area

[sand fiber]

leaked builds are a staple of stalker

[loud gate]

Yes

[north herald]

yeah im not a fan of this. Like we said a random point would be cooler

[untold salmon]

fair but id rather not still

[obsidian trail]

SoC had some okay ones like X-16 and X-19(not when ur exiting It),CS "lab" was really good ngl and CoP X-8 and SoC X-18 are shit

[sand fiber]

after release then

[untold salmon]

oui oui

[polar orchid]

will there be destruction?

[loud gate]

ehh, kind of

[old jungle]

E3

[obsidian trail]

Random stuff being thrown at you by hard to kill mutants isn't fun

[polar orchid]

elaborate?

[sand fiber]

x8 is fun and tense, agroprom underground isn't

[untold salmon]

Local objects can get thrown around i believe but no building destruction

[obsidian trail]

@sand fiber Explain this then

[sand fiber]

x19 might be the worst lab tbh

[static compass]

It would be scary if grenades could collapse wooden walls lol

[north herald]

i hope we will have bullet wounds. I hope the feedback to shot a gun and kill someone feels impactfull

[sand fiber]

but it is fun, especially when you're in an exo

[sand fiber]

x18 and x16 are classic

[obsidian trail]

And what If you aren't

[polar orchid]

i hope the enemies arent invincible while stunned by my first bullet

[untold salmon]

I wonder what exos will look like

[sand fiber]

also x8 is just a revamped warlab so that's a plus

[obsidian trail]

I liked X-8 for It's lore but the Burers make It unenjoyable

[static compass]

Didn't they show exos at the end of the original gameplay reveal?

[polar orchid]

i hope there is more meaningful loot, like different foods with different qualities to them

[old jungle]

nope

[granite mortar]

19 is very shooty hooty and too little horror paranormal stuff imo

[untold salmon]

did they?

[sand fiber]

suffer

[obsidian trail]

Unless you have a shotgun,Gauss rifle or RPG-7 these guys will be a pain

Even with a knife It's not fun

[static compass]

I believe it's the scene with the gauss rifle under the Duga radar

[finite dragon]

ill go take a nap

[obsidian trail]

Taking 90% of your health from long range

[finite dragon]

stay safe guys

[static compass]

Oh I was wrong

[nova wedge]

The burers are terrible I agree

[polar orchid]

do you think we'll be able to go prone?

[north herald]

Strg+shift

or ctrl+shift

[static compass]

Can we get ghillie suit?

[sand fiber]

it's kinda bland tbh, x18 was good due to being your first lab, x16 has a cool brain in the middle and a nice upstairs sequence, and x19 is just 50 monolithians in a corridor

[polar orchid]

if boundaries are marked by barbed wire fences i hope that they made them taller this time too lol

and like, not something that anybody could just climb over irl

or climb through

the fences in the og games take me right out of the immersion lol

[pearl olive]

what about bottomless magical backpacks

[flint grail]

Not this again

[polar orchid]

its not bottomless, you cant walk if its too heavy
i hope i can at least move stuff to where i want it to be instead of having to check all the gun stats and accidentally sell the one i was using

[still ridge]

X-8 is goated

[earnest bear]

We're do I get these

[pearl olive]

i'd check Etsy... they're $2000 and ship in 18 months

[prisma goblet]

what is best (or least worst) : English dub with english subtitles or Ukrainian dub with french subtitles ? I can't decide

[polar orchid]

ookrayeeni

[untold salmon]

are you french?

[granite mortar]

Ukrainian dub with english subtitle

[nova wedge]

Im gonna do Ukrainian dub with subs

[proven shadow]

fremch ? where ???

[prisma goblet]

belgian

[still ridge]

What about magical kidney stones

[polar orchid]

no but i ate a baguette once

[sand fiber]

ua-fr

[untold salmon]

then ukrainian with french sub

[still ridge]

Depends on if you need muh immersion

I would recommend Ukrainian dub and your first language subtitles

[nova wedge]

Silly, every kidney stone is magical.

[prisma goblet]

I understand English and having english dub with french subtitles would be confusing af

[untold salmon]

im gonna use ukrainian with english sub and if i cant focus on it then ill change to eng dub, just do whatever you find easiest

[prisma goblet]

ok thanks guys !

[still ridge]

If French is your first language I would say do Ukrainian dub and French subs

[prisma goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/ron-swanson-nick-offerman-inshallah-gif-13027660

no gif permission ? :(

[proven shadow]

L

[prisma goblet]

👽 🙂

[nova wedge]

Simply get nitro and make the gif a sticker. Problem solved

[prisma goblet]

I won't pay for discord

[prisma goblet]

it's 100 euro for a year ????

[static compass]

Snork trailer on the 25th?

[prisma goblet]

no, 10 hours of non-stop gameplay

[polar orchid]

do mutants in the zone breed?

like how do snorks get a gasmask if theyre baby snorks

[proven shadow]

They must be reproducing

But how ?

[proven shadow]

Gasmask for kids lmao

[nova wedge]

I only have nitro bc duolingo gave me a month free, I guess if youre american they have a promo

[proven shadow]

Nah snorks are prob not really reproducing, they just get random stalkers to turn into them since everyone has gas masks.

[polar orchid]

i think most of the mutants were once human...
which, if the army been there for over 10 years, would mean the number of mutants would decrease

unless theyre still pumping out more mutants somewhere

[proven shadow]

But thats the thing. They arent decreasing at least afaik from the lore.

Dogs and flesh/boars make sense. They are animals.. but controllers ? Burers ? How do they keep coming ? How many are there lmao

[nova wedge]

Dont think too hard mate

[old jungle]

They are made in labs

[polar orchid]

but the lore is very interesting...

[proven shadow]

Are the labs still working tho ? Thats the thing. Shouldnt they be all dead by now ?

[prisma goblet]

what about bloodsuckers.... ?

[cunning crow]

me

[proven shadow]

Bloodsuckers clearly reproduce since they have that lair in call of prypiat

[cunning crow]

around the world playing as soon as you posted that, blessed

[old jungle]

[broken latch]

Everything gives you a nitro trial if you have a credit card

[old jungle]

Same thing.

[broken latch]

Yes

[proven shadow]

NDA ? I wish lmao

[loud gate]

somewhere in the Zone there is one Controller factory

[old jungle]

The putrid hole from the legends, yes.

[polar orchid]

as soon as i load into S2 im bee-lining towards the NPP raw with no protection, ill be fine

[granite mortar]

the controller factory only exists to supply meat to Tourist Delight factory

[loud gate]

[prisma goblet]

weren't bloodsuckers supposed to be waste from the labs at some points ?

[celest goblet]

Unclear if there may be any labs still operating. Only thing we have seen close to one is the monolith control center

[nova wedge]

Yeah I heard epic did it recently too but idk I dont keep up

I only pay on my main so we can stream in better quality in friends server so its worth it to me

[sand fiber]

original oblivion lost stated that most of the humanoid mutants are from "universal soldier" program from labs, encounters were supposed to be sparce and unique, Izlom for example was to be a one-of-a-kind special mutant encounter, snork lore stated that all of them are crazed militarymen from a failed military operation, karlik and burer habitat was a lab, the lore was that karliks built their own society in one of the abandoned labs with burer as the leader

[prisma goblet]

why burers have hoods even if its not raining outside ?, are they stupid ?

[granite mortar]

you forgot the best part
Karliks war on dogs

[old jungle]

Check out the first trailer for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

[sand fiber]

as the game developed further this changed, more mutant fights with less explanations as to why there are so much humanoid mutants

[proven shadow]

Yes. Yes they are. This is why we must exterminate them.

[prisma goblet]

[proven shadow]

Lol ❤️

[sand fiber]

if in SoC it could be explained at least partially CS and CoP just didn't care

[polar orchid]

realistically there should at least be fewer snorks

[sand fiber]

yup

[proven shadow]

Maybe the zone is creating them

[polar orchid]

always has been.gif

[sand fiber]

dead city (proto-limansk) had an anomalous infection going on, with lots of zombies
zombies too were different, not just affected stalkers but mutated civilians

[old jungle]

There's the theory about the Zone creating copies of living beings

[sand fiber]

dat would be schizo reborn-level lore

[proven shadow]

Thats not canon tho so is it really relevant ? They scrapped that and made the zombies gunshooting and former stalkers

[static compass]

I'd love to see the dead city zombies to return, or even just have the zombies appear again

[polar orchid]

imagine you find a zombie ukranian granny and she doesnt try to shoot you she just tries to make you dinner

[proven shadow]

The zone is a tear in reality. Its beyond our understanding so to me nothing is far fetched

[untold salmon]

What if the zone clones mutants

[sand fiber]

yeagh, i'm explaining why the game has nonsensical amount of humanoid mutants

because SoC was rushed as fuсk and changed conception three times a week

[sand fiber]

that would be a lame explanation tbh

[proven shadow]

The zone being alive and creating mutants as a defence system is a lame explanation ?
I disagree.

[sand fiber]

yes, zone being alive is lame and has been explored a thousand times already

[polar orchid]

snorks could be a parasite infection, and that would keep em coming

[sand fiber]

it's the thing you expect, which isn't good for a mysterious setting

[proven shadow]

Subjective opinion is subjective ❤️

[sand fiber]

i actually don't know if they're bringing dead city back, it's semi-canon due to being on SoC's map but ehhhh

Limansk and Dead City in the same game would be fun

[static compass]

I'd like to see more new enemies tbh

Non humanoid mutants

[polar orchid]

i hope there are flying enemies

big ass mutated birds

[static compass]

Flying pseudogiant

[still ridge]

Awful

[proven shadow]

Pls stop xD

[still ridge]

no mutant birds other than crows I bet

[old jungle]

The Phantasm

[polar orchid]

whats stopping more wildlife from moving in and becoming mutants though, giant fire breating humming birds, radioactive foxes and bears with 2 heads

[untold salmon]

oh i would love to see a fox

[static compass]

Someone say fox?

[proven shadow]

Mutated deer

[static compass]

Already a thing

[polar orchid]

imagine this, lil friendly foxes that are highly radioactive, they arent trying to kill you, they just will

[untold salmon]

need

[static compass]

I wonder if they'll bring back the Izlom, I know they put it in the board game

[static compass]

Yay, foxes

[sand fiber]

they did???

[static compass]

Yee

[polar orchid]

sacrafice your food so you can run from the foxes... and if you have no food... the foxes gotta die

[sand fiber]

so based

[untold silo]

Like the bitches from metro?

[untold salmon]

just read the wiki on these guys that would be pretty sick

[fierce spade]

ive got an issue in anomaly where the npcs basicly never play the guitar

how do i fix it ?

[still ridge]

Play da originals

Sure fire way to fix it

[fierce spade]

i have

i didnt work

[solid cosmos]

You might have better chance of answers in the anomaly discord. Do you have any mods that change npc behavior?

[hazy helm]

He is
He's playing anomaly

[fierce spade]

Oh shit cheers

[solid cosmos]

Lmao

[granite mortar]

because they are poorly made and every feature that made ALife good ha been decreased to minimum

Mutants dont drag corpse anymore, they barely work as pack

Worst part is that some of the new guitar songs are pretty cool, too bad you dont even get to hear them

[solid cosmos]

Unless there is a port for call of chernobyl perhaps

[granite mortar]

dont think CoC is much better in the regard

[solid cosmos]

I haven't had any issues with it on my end

but you're probably right

[granite mortar]

well either way
you cant just port it like that
you will still nee to edit the NPC behavior and then it would be faster to return the features manually

[celest blaze]

Anomaly 🤢 item bloat 🤢

🗣️ call of the zone 🔥

Dr.X

[worthy lagoon]

Proof?

[finite dragon]

i like call of the zone for adding more content on top of call of chernobyl

and i like old world addon for making anomaly look good

[worn oar]

Confidence

[finite dragon]

but thats a heavily opinionated topic

[worn oar]

Anomaly being a sequel is confirmation enough

[finite dragon]

why is this emoji of zak looks like toby maguire when i look at it from afar

[worn oar]

Dunno, but yes, I see some resemblance when I look at it

[lethal orchid]

Because they are the same person

[worn oar]

[static compass]

Also an enemy called a tick

[wise blaze]

[static compass]

[naive fog]

They gotta make a devious emoji that's not some cringe boomer stuff like this 😈

[wise blaze]

oh didnt know thered be more then. awesom

[untold salmon]

Tick seems like nightmare fuel

[static compass]

Yee

[naive fog]

How dead y'all think chat is gonna be after release

Gotta go quiet for a while

[static compass]

And the thing called the crawl

[static compass]

I know for sure I won't be here in the weeks after release lol

[still ridge]

What is it

[naive fog]

A tick

[static compass]

Enemy in the board game

[untold salmon]

Giant long legged tick

[still ridge]

How giant

[naive fog]

But mutant

[untold salmon]

Also I haven't seen the crawl gimme a sec

[static compass]

Slightly bigger than a human head

[still ridge]

Horrifying

[static compass]

I didn't look to close but it looked big

[untold salmon]

It looks like a rat king of dogs

[naive fog]

Man I gotta get my 40k shit to a good standard so that me and the boys can get the stalker game

[untold salmon]

Oh no nevermind it's worse

It's like an amalgamation of different creatures I see dogs and humam arms

[static compass]

Hmm interesting

[finite dragon]

kuznetsov

[static compass]

Wonder if it'll be in S2

Or could just be for the board game lol

[untold salmon]

Would be interesting to see

I reckon it'll be just a boardgame thing, unlike the others there no 3d model of it just art

[static compass]

I want the board game now lol

[untold salmon]

Real

[naive fog]

Me and the boys are making a Stalingrad board so I wonder how the stalker tabletop will work on it

[static compass]

I want S2 more tho

[naive fog]

Of course

But I need kvass rn, I've only had 2 litres today

I ran out tho

[untold salmon]

43 days is too long, I need to enter a 41 day coma

[still ridge]

Oh it’s a giant daddy longlegs

Thanks, I hate it

No you don’t

[celest blaze]

I think you're experiencing an out of memory crash

I'm not sure how to fix it

[worthy lagoon]

Demosfen is definitely going to steal that

[celest blaze]

Cotz only flaw is 32 bit engine I have 32 gigs of ram I shouldn't crash ( I crash if I save in Jupiter)

Hmm hard to say tbh

That's anomalous af

[celest blaze]

I will it sucks he's dead so he can't continue refining it

[nova wedge]

I fw this thing heavy

[static compass]

Also I guess the deer is gonna be called the hornhead?

[untold salmon]

Yeah

I wonder how the deer is gonna act

[static compass]

They said in an article something about that

It has psi abilities

[untold salmon]

Any idea if its hostile on sight or?

[static compass]

Not sure, I just know it has psi abilities and can summon other mutants to help it

[untold salmon]

clear sky best video settings anyone?

[hidden stratus]

Just dont max out everything if you want frames

Especially lighting

[mighty iris]

i messed around with the video settings and the game looks a bit weird now

how do reset the settings to default, i tried reinstalling the game and deleting the folder in steamapps

[hidden stratus]

There is a button called reset to default

[granite mortar]

minimum

but dynamic lights enabled, they pretty

[hidden stratus]

Either way the game is old, you arent getting much out of maxing everything out

[mighty iris]

i just want the game to look natural

some lightning options are too bright

[mighty iris]

i dont think that theres a button in the game settings

Lite can you tell the clear sky devs to put in better side content

[hidden stratus]

I have a very faint memory of seeing that somewhere. If the game truly looks weird it might be you. We all have had to mess with the settings due to the very poor optimization of that game

[celest blaze]

i do wish there was more

The ones I get are very very basic
Go collect this item and return it

So was there an announcement about what's being shown on Thursday or do we just know they're going to show.... something

[celest goblet]

A trailer I think is what the post said

[static compass]

What post?

[loud gate]

well, I am a bit of fault here with translation errors, but the actual thing was "Media"

[warm linden]

Hai hai

What's happening here

[celest goblet]

ahhh

[loud gate]

Yet, it makes most sense for a trailer.

[loud gate]

Media can range from gameplay videos, screenshots, trailers, etc. I think Trailer

[static compass]

I see, likely a small trailer?

Like Not a Paradise?

[polar orchid]

no more trailers, release game right now

[static compass]

Ha, imagine they just shadow drop the game on Thursday

[polar orchid]

i aint waiting any longer, i wont do it

release it right now

[finite dragon]

Imagine they add lootboxes

[untold salmon]

GSC,RELEASE THE GAME NOW, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[finite dragon]

jokes they won't

[untold salmon]

Lootboxes but it's not a lootbox and you just open a lead box containing radioactive material

[static compass]

Snork trailer when?

This is what we should be asking

[solar vine]

snorks are annoying

[polar orchid]

why does everyone love snorks?

i hate them, they jump on me and ruin my day

[static compass]

They're just lil goofy doods

[untold salmon]

Just a lil guy

[static compass]

Pat the snork

[solar vine]

no

[untold salmon]

I wanna see a hornhead trailer

[solar vine]

what

[static compass]

Would be good

[untold salmon]

Need 🦌

[static compass]

If I can't pat the snork, i pat the deer

[finite dragon]

And get blasted with radiation where you need to down 5-6 vodka bottles

[granite mortar]

How about you pat Richter?

[loud gate]

This is what I think

[static compass]

Acceptable, Richter's just a goofy lil dood

[loud gate]

It's 4:30 for you, go to sleep

[static compass]

Skif and Richter buddy cop trailer when?

[finite dragon]

🅱️ichter

[loud gate]

it is something planned actually.. an idea when I get my hands on S2

[static compass]

Amazing

[finite dragon]

Stalker 2 is gonna be your canon event

[static compass]

[loud gate]

Back to video

It is almost done

[untold salmon]

Need a 10 minute cutscene of richter just getting jiggy with it

[static compass]

I'd watch

[loud gate]

[finite dragon]

crank that soulja boy

[static compass]

Richter gives Skif a Walkman as a quest reward

[untold salmon]

Introductory mission with richter unlocks music that you can find around the map as a collectible

Reason: Bad word usage

Cassette tapes in stashes

[finite dragon]

what

wolf you make me wanna kms

[untold salmon]

I think this would actually be a sick feature

[static compass]

I'd literally go after every cassette that gets marked, Richter seems like a homie lol

[untold salmon]

Frfr, he's just a lil dude

[static compass]

[untold salmon]

I'm gonna commission so much art of him my wallet will never forgive me

[dawn grotto]

hmm

[static compass]

I feel like Richter's just there to vibe

He's like "I dunno about any faction wars or anything, I'm just having fun"
Lmao

[untold salmon]

That's why he's so shocked in time of opportunities "damn yall really live like this"

[grim birch]

Hey

[untold salmon]

Howdy

[static compass]

Pacifist Richter over here lol

[grim birch]

How everyones night/ day going

[nova wedge]

Howdy ho

[untold salmon]

Going alright, contemplating an allnighter

[grim birch]

I did one last night lol

I be up half the night, but never all night

[untold salmon]

It be like that

[north herald]

Good morning people

[celest blaze]

Morning

[viral moss]

Dlc, season pass, song by paywall, all this sucks

[untold salmon]

Season pass and dlc in higher editions is normal?

That's why its a higher edition, because the season pass/dlc is included

[nova wedge]

I gotta go to bed earlier than I do bc I gotta go to the courthouse in the morning, gotta take the train

[untold salmon]

Jury duty?

[nova wedge]

Nahhh just filing something and wanna get it over with before the heat hits in the afternoon

[untold salmon]

Ah fair

[grim birch]

When are the devs going to let Xbox pre order

[untold salmon]

Great question

[still ridge]

Good question

[loud gate]

Soon

It is the only answer I can really give you at the moment, but it should be a very soon "soon"

[hidden stratus]

You got inside info?

[static compass]

Hopefully the same for that ultimate edition

[loud gate]

I wouldn't say anything if that was the case

[hidden stratus]

So you do. Tell them to release the game already

[valid thicket]

Just pre-order at gamestop so you get the disk

[turbid crag]

I hope for an ambient trailer, no music only ingame sound

[still ridge]

@loud gate have you seen this?

I’m hyped

[fluid abyss]

calm down broski

[hidden stratus]

hahah why did they even bother responding to that

[fluid abyss]

mfs are just sold on the hype, but what is the hype? a couple of trailers and fancily worded text posts every few weeks?

[loud gate]

I fear for Mykyta's sanity... he deals with Reddit and Steam Forums all day

[hidden stratus]

Its the idea that you will be playing that soon, that you will be in that very spot having your own experience.

That's hype

[still ridge]

Literally any content

if it’s a long gameplay showcase, that’s reason even more reason to be hyped

[grim birch]

I prefer digital over disk tbh

[loud gate]

I've been hyped since Griga posted the most beautiful thing on Facebook on the day of May 15th, 2018

[still ridge]

I remember the day

[fluid abyss]

people say "look at the work GSC has done on S2 so far!"
While impressive, you have to consider that they've likely made quite a bit of money from preorder sales. I'd expect them to do at least this much.
Much like many other overhyped garbage games, who take people's money, publish a few "gameplay trailers" and then come out as a disappointment.
Not saying S2 is a scam, but I'm saying that the level of content isn't all that special imo when you consider their funding

[still ridge]

We don’t know how much money they are even getting

[fluid abyss]

enough to purchase 100 vans at least

[still ridge]

For Microsoft funding or anything

[grim birch]

I'm hoping the same for physical as well lol I'm going to guess just an estimate sometime next month idk though

[hidden stratus]

What year and model and brand

[loud gate]

I agree, there should be more stuff releasing, but August will be packed regardless

[fluid abyss]

looks like they're Volkswagen Transporters, and there's 100 of them, all custom painted too

[valid thicket]

We're already mostly through July. We only got August to get through then 🙏

[still ridge]

It would need to be very bad to be a disappointment in my eyes

[loud gate]

Tomorrow

to be fair they did partner up with an esports brand, so who knows how the finances were split

[grim birch]

Hinting at something🤔

[still ridge]

On Thursday there will be a big announcement

[fluid abyss]

these recent trailers and such are a good start, but I'd like to see a lot more to be completely sold on the game

[still ridge]

Media coverage, possibly good gameplay, etc etc

[celest blaze]

People doom post so much about s2 its funny

[hidden stratus]

what is doom post

[still ridge]

New trailer at least this Thursday

[fluid abyss]

because people have been let down by dozens of games before

[celest blaze]

Upset posting

[fluid abyss]

oh word?

[grim birch]

Il have to add it to my calendar

[hidden stratus]

I'll find them

[loud gate]

Listen, friend, I have to tell you something

[celest blaze]

Their fault for thinking companies like ea/blizzard/activision/ubisoft was any good lol

[loud gate]

My translator screwed up, so the word was "media". This could mean gameplay videos, trailer, screenshots. But I am still convinced it's a Trailer

[still ridge]

I see

[grim birch]

Hey anything new is always good

[loud gate]

Nah, S2 has a level of doom posting which is way to suspicious

[still ridge]

https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5059340266897986

[grim birch]

Unless its a delay

[loud gate]

There is no delay

[covert slate]

no more delays

[loud gate]

Yes, sorry, it was my bad.

[grim birch]

A delay is my biggest fear

[still ridge]

My translator says “new information”

[still ridge]

I find it very unlikely

[fluid abyss]

CD Projekt Red?

[loud gate]

There was another thing saying Media.. but yes, big stuff is coming)

[celest blaze]

I haven't played any of their games but I knew cyberpunk sucked

[hidden stratus]

CD gets a pass

[fluid abyss]

I don't think it's suspicious that people have doubts on a franchise that hasn't seen a new game in 10+ years

[still ridge]

Here’s what my translator says

[loud gate]

You don't think it's suspicious that all of reddit is now full of doom posting about 3 year old news ?

[celest blaze]

It's probably Kremlin bots tbh

[loud gate]

And I mean.. ALL of it. Weirdly, right after the news of actor being part of the Azov brigade

[covert slate]

the way i see it they've been spending more time on development than advertising, which is fine by me since word of mouth is just as good

[untold salmon]

Having doubt isn't necessarily a bad thing but attacking people who are hopeful is

[celest blaze]

Russian disinformation and misinformation campaigns are all over the Internet it's not suprising they'd try to sabotage stalker 2

[fluid abyss]

Most people don't follow game news THAT closely, so old news gets recycled.
Plus you know, it's been 3 years, the game's development has been dragged out for so long that it's hard for the average person to accurately recount when each news tidbit came out.

[untold salmon]

A lot of the doomposting is specifically attacking stalker 2 rather than just warning of being wary

[loud gate]

but all of these posts are from alleged "fans", good sir

you don't think fans wouldn't know this by now.. 3 years later?

[celest blaze]

^

[covert slate]

i can see why they're doing it, them being able to push through some of the events the country is going through is still making a groundbreaking sequel would make them all look like fools

[fluid abyss]

That's just people jumping the gun and assuming things, much like the zealots who believe so hard that Stalker 2 will be awesome with zero proof

[still ridge]

Wow I wonder what could be the reason for that

I wonder

[hidden stratus]

I want to read all these messages but dont feel like reading 😔

[fluid abyss]

dawg it feels like last month that I preordered S2... over two years ago

[celest blaze]

Sometimes game dev takes awhile

[grim birch]

Especially during a war

[untold salmon]

Cough cough star citizen

[still ridge]

If you’re that much of a die hard fan you won’t care what state the game is on launch or anything to that affect

[celest blaze]

I have faith it'll be great as the trilogy was great they have a 3 game track record to go off of

[loud gate]

no, not really the case

I am a super die hard fan, yet I hope the game is in a great launch so everyone enjoys it

[fluid abyss]

I primarily bought it as a "thanks" for the old games, cuz I got them on sale for cheap and had lots of fun with it.
I still want Stalker 2 to actually be good

[still ridge]

They’ve convinced me

[valid thicket]

It'll have a great launch I'm sure of it. They took like five extra months to work on it so it wouldn't be patched to high heavens

[still ridge]

On the grounds that they clearly nailed what made the originals so good

[celest blaze]

Fr if I doubted it would be bad I wouldn't spend over 100 dollars on a preorder

[still ridge]

Hearing people who played both demos, it feels like stalker and it plays like stalker.

[solid cosmos]

I think it's because of the video released the other day. Got people up in a tizzy so they are rehashing up stuff from 2 or 3 years ago to try and paint the game poorly even though we've alread6y gone over all this.

[still ridge]

As long as they stay true to what made the original games so fantastic, the game won’t be “bad”

[solid cosmos]

Anomalous Dugout says it plays like stalker and that's all I care about.

[loud gate]

Which video?

[celest blaze]

Based

[still ridge]

It feels, plays, and looks like stalker. I’m not worried.

That’s just me

[fluid abyss]

If I wanted to play SoC, CS, or CoP I'd just play those games.
I can't exactly trust random people's opinions (especially when "random people" will praise other mid games). I'm a highly critical person too so that doesn't help with believing something is good just because Joe Schmo says it is.

[still ridge]

What if those random people are true fans of the series?

[frank egret]

I like call of pripyat gunplay

[solid cosmos]

The Azov one. One of the members of Azov apparently voices a character in Stalker 2, the Azov channel made a video about it.

[frank egret]

if it’s like that I’m in

[celest blaze]

Well known stalker youtubers played them demos

[loud gate]

so if 95% of the people say it's good, then it's good

[nimble cipher]

edillon has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[still ridge]

I’m going to kill wolf

[celest blaze]

I HATE wolf

[solid cosmos]

Nooo who will help the rookies

Fanatic sucks!!!

[celest blaze]

Like alot of people think skyrim is good ( it's not) morrowind is better

[loud gate]

Oh, yes, I know.. I imagine it made russians very angry.. weirdly, right after it, the whole reddit thing started

[fluid abyss]

That statistic wouldn't mean much, since the game could be generified crap that most people like (like most AAA games today)

[untold salmon]

Doesn't he voice faust?

[loud gate]

, but yes

[untold salmon]

Hell yeah

[solid cosmos]

Yep, so I think it's that. It reminded the russian fanbase that they are playing a Ukranian game made by Ukranian's.

[celest blaze]

They must be pissed about that

[loud gate]

if you've got people who played stalker and say it feels like stalker, how can you say it could be generified crap

[untold salmon]

They don't even get to play it anymore

[celest blaze]

They should stop living on their knees and force the gov to end the war so they can enjoy stalker 2

[fluid abyss]

Because what does "feels like stalker" mean? surely it isn't the exact same as a game that's over a decade old.
How does it differ? It's very hard to tell solely off of testimony.

[solid cosmos]

Considering they have long since taken claim that STALKER is Russian? Yeah, they probably are pissed about that lmfao.

Also they do get to play it, they just have to buy it from Ukranian sources, or import it. There's still Russian translation for text and things, just voices are in Ukranian and they don't like that.

[still ridge]

There’s a well know game journalist who made a video about why he didn’t like the stalker 2 demo and it was because it didn’t handhold him at all lol

[celest blaze]

If you play the games you know what it means lol the amount of doom energy is wild

[solid cosmos]

It's okay you can say Luke Stephens is a moron

[celest blaze]

Luke pisses me off

[fluid abyss]

I know what it means for me, but I DON'T know what S2 is like

[still ridge]

You know damn well what it means lol

[celest blaze]

You got multiple sources saying what it's like

[still ridge]

Unless you have some crazy esoteric opinions on the games it’s safe to say we all feel very similar

[loud gate]

The fact it plays and stays true to the classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. gameplay with a modern touch is a huge sign the game will be good, that is the point

[solid cosmos]

All I care about that it isn't trying to be Anomaly or Gamma

or Tarkov

[celest blaze]

Same gamma/anomaly/tarkov are wack

[untold salmon]

As long as the environments are cool I'm happy

[solid cosmos]

To each their own, I just feel like they over tweak way too much.

[celest blaze]

Anomaly and gamma are cheap knockoffs

[solid cosmos]

and a lot of bloat, from items to random mods that don't work well together to systems that are half baked lol

[celest blaze]

Fr

[untold salmon]

Look guys we made stalker but it's tarkov

[celest blaze]

And free

Most of those folks only play cuz anomaly is free they don't own the trilogy

[still ridge]

Unfortunately true

[solid cosmos]

That'll be 300 dollars for everything, plus 250 for single player

[celest blaze]

That was such a wild move they pulled

[fluid abyss]

I'm very critical of games & media, I care about minor details many will write off as "insignificant".
I don't trust MY impression of OTHERS' impression of a game they played a short bit of, likely intoxicated with nostalgia while doing so.
I only trust hard proof (videos & devlogs) which I inspect with heavy scrutiny. A steady supply of proof is needed to convince me that development is coming along smoothly.
A lot of money and time went into this game, I want proof that it's actually going somewhere.

[solid cosmos]

I had interest in Tarkov to play the SP tarkov mod, but after that Nah I'll just stick with playing Stalker lmfao.

[untold salmon]

Wait who did what now?

[celest blaze]

The tarkov 200+ dollar single player edition

[untold salmon]

Oh I forgot about that

[solid cosmos]

That should have been included in the previous 300+ dollar edition

[fluid abyss]

Not entirely unsurprising, one of the main reasons I never got into Tarkov was the weird pricing scheme with the "keep loot inside this box even if you die" box that was bigger the more you paid for the game

[celest blaze]

Fr it was promised

[still ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/you-know-im-something-of-a-scientist-myself-scientist-donald-kimball-gif-14910706

I’m somewhat of a game critic myself

[celest blaze]

Fr I never liked their buisness practices they always seemed scummy people to me tbh

[solid cosmos]

Sidorovich controlled loot storage

Look, marked one.. for another 8000SR you can hold another 1kg..

[celest blaze]

Plus tarkov is infested with hackers I'm NOT paying to face those mfs

[solid cosmos]

I mean...

[fluid abyss]

that too

[untold salmon]

Tarkov just isn't fun anymore

[fluid abyss]

tarkov be like:
wipes all your stuff every so often because they can't figure out a way to balance out late game

[celest blaze]

Is sid in s2??

[untold salmon]

Wipe isn't even necessarily a bad thing it's just a pain dealing with everything else

[solid cosmos]

I'm pretty sure Sidorovich is in 2, yes

[celest blaze]

Based af I like him

[untold salmon]

Get rid of all the goonslop cumlarp stuff in the late game and tarkov would be way more fun

[solid cosmos]

So just get rid of a huge portion of Tarkov

[untold salmon]

Yes

[solid cosmos]

I agree, it would be a better game if it wasn't Tarkov.

[celest blaze]

[untold salmon]

Literally shooting at each other with rusty aks is fun

[celest blaze]

Cheeki breeki with a shotgun is also fun

[untold salmon]

Being shot at by robocop with a 416 woth a 100rnd mag and an ergo stat of 5 resulting in 0 recoil is not fun

[fresh fiber]

I hope this doesn't get delayed AGAIN

[celest blaze]

It won't

[celest blaze]

Sounds like call of the zone monolith ai

[untold salmon]

Real, I love running around with a double barrel, when it's actually viable

[celest blaze]

Those mfs do NOT miss with their pkms lol

[untold salmon]

Also I need an over under immediately I need to feel like I'm in signalis

[celest blaze]

Stalker made me like over unders

[untold salmon]

I should go shoot some clays again that was fun

[pearl jacinth]

stalker made me like getting ionized

[celest blaze]

That sounds based

[untold salmon]

Anyone else taste graphite?

[celest blaze]

Me

[untold salmon]

Yum

[solid cosmos]

I'm weirdly excited for the multiplayer component lol

I know it's just gonna be TDM and PVP modes, no coop and stuff, but still. I liked the MP stuff from the OG trilogy, even if it was filled with russian aim bots lmao.

The artifact hunt stuff was fun.

I just hope the pvp maps are huge or at least varied in size

[pearl jacinth]

the 40 year olds that live in snezhnogorsk or whatever are going to rejoice as they now have a new game to main 24/7 365

[untold salmon]

Do we know how long after launch multilayer will drop? Or just after

[celest blaze]

Ngl I wish we had faction wars or like conquest as a pvp mode

[umbral jay]

Hello

[celest blaze]

I'd love to fight for rostok or hell even limansk against real people

[umbral jay]

Ready to nade mfs with MG hiding in buildings

[celest blaze]

Never thought id read "cumlarp" ever but here we are

Where is Ranjid, is he okay? Is he safe? He has not wished us to have a good day and to be well.

Doesnt he usually come a little later?

[solid cosmos]

It varies. Anywhere from this time to like 3 hours from now

[worn oar]

He'll be here any minute now

He's probably too busy being a chad and killing monolithians

You ruined it! You should've just stopped at Chad

You're right, Ranjid would never.

[marble wind]

Has anyone here bought the physical edition?

[peak grove]

Thinking about buying it from the amazon.de, but that shit is About $380

I also have no clue if it comes with a steamkey that is redeemable in the US

[marble wind]

I don’t understand it yet either. I left a pre-order on the official website, it says that a letter will arrive, etc., but so far nothing at all. And I don’t even know how long to wait, but I really want the physical edition

[turbid crag]

@glossy blade @neat roost Hey, there is a guy on youtube, he uploaded videos about the leaked dev build (gameplay) youtube profil Tom Schnitzer

[covert slate]

oof that's a handful

yeah i just looked up that channel, it's legit leaked builds

thanks for the heads up on this man

[turbid crag]

👍

[covert slate]

i've sent a few devs DM's about it in hopes that one of them sees it, i'll be sure to check my watch later tab in the morning to see if they are still there

[north herald]

Simply uploading something like this, especially on YouTube, is an absolute disrespectful thing to do

[peak grove]

I assume that is an super early build?

[covert slate]

Mol1t ain't gonna be too happy about this one

and yeah it's a early leaked dev build

akin to those GTA6 leaks

[north herald]

sure i guess, it looks pretty blank. Not a version that is final.

[peak grove]

Ya a lot of missing textures, I had to figure. I want these guys to succeed with this game.

[north herald]

at least its on youtube and not on vk. I guess its easier to block the video on yt?

[covert slate]

yeah no it wouldn't surprise me if that whole channel got the hammer

[north herald]

yes, and its not only one video

[covert slate]

okay Mol1t just DM'd me, he's aware of it now

[north herald]

Great to hear, no tollerance again people like that

[covert slate]

honestly though @turbid crag i'm surprised you managed to find this, i typed it into the youtube search the exact way this guy titled his videos and they aren't showing up at all

how did you even come across it?

[jaunty junco]

I found it, reported it

[north herald]

Uhhh i found a moddb site that also show leaked material, how should i send that to mol1t, dm?

[worn oar]

Long time no copy pasta

[dapper finch]

Wait, is that the Noon patch in announcement?

[red spruce]

[covert slate]

yeah it is

[dapper finch]

Kinda ironic to use Psi as the symbol isn't it?

[covert slate]

some people are theorizing that it's based off the one tree in the Zone that's grown in such a unique way, atleast shown on the drawn map

[covert slate]

can you DM me about this?

[north herald]

sure!

[dapper finch]

The Psi Tree?

[red spruce]

I be eating the artefact of that tree, pullin another Adam and eve

[dapper finch]

Sounds like the bad ending

[red spruce]

Its gonna be

[worn oar]

Send me the link in dms

[worn oar]

Send me the link

[jaunty junco]

This is actually crazy, not too long ago someone leaked a dev build of Space Marine 2

[worn oar]

It's best if you don't mention this a lot. Do your best to not spoil your own experience, and avoid looking at it at all costs.
You can DM if need be.

[random surge]

this is my first time playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R and i don't want to finish the game because it is something next level

do you feel me guys?

[jaunty junco]

No

[worn oar]

Yeah! That's how I felt in my first time and became a hard-core fan without realizing backthen

[random surge]

the game is amazing that i don't want to feel a huge gap in my life

[dapper finch]

Wake me up when September... is.

[dapper finch]

You've got three games plus an absolute ton of mods

[random surge]

i'm still in shadow of Chernobyl

[dapper finch]

Then don't worry you've still got CS and CoP to go heh

[random surge]

in the bar

[sand fiber]

why are you boring

[random surge]

i'm so glad that there is cs and cop

but to be honest i don't have any idea about mods

[north herald]

?

[sand fiber]

assume every mod is a total conversion until stated otherwise

there are three types of mods
story mods - self-explanatory, mods focused on making their own new story with new gameplay mechanics and locations
freeplays - obvious too, mods that aim for the more sandboxy experience
solyankas - subtypes of story mods that take >100 hours to beat, huge piles of dubious content

here's a handy chart

[worn oar]

He's situation is best. The moment he finishes the trilogy, S2 will release and he'll get to play right away. His wait won't be long

[turbid crag]

I only search for Stalker 2 on youtube it was the 3rd video 😂

Cant send as dm, error

[worn oar]

It's fine, I deleted the message after taking the link. I'll deal with the rest. Thank you

[turbid crag]

I help out who i can

[thorny matrix]

Anybody else been waiting for months for the physical edition to come out?

Just let me throw money at the devs

[valid thicket]

Hopefully this is false information but supposedly at the event in China they said that there was another delay till November. One can only hope it is just for China and not for the rest of us God fearing folk.

[thorny matrix]

The whole game or just the physical?

[random surge]

not really dude. i'm gaming on nvidia mx130

probably i won't be able to run it

[worn oar]

Damn.

No chance for an upgrade?

[random surge]

@worn oar the upgrading chance will take time as S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs fans waiting for S2

LOL i hope so

[worn oar]

Less than 44days left

That if you want to play directly on release.

[random surge]

i mean when cop released out LMFAO

[fast stratus]

Hi

[dapper finch]

Hey Kevin. 😛

[dapper finch]

[worn oar]

2009

[valid thicket]

We got a 10 second cool down

[dapper finch]

The horror!

[worn oar]

poor folks

NozAr is writing an articles

[dapper finch]

If anything like me, the end result will be like 3 words.

[sand fiber]

and yeah, some recommendations:

(almost) all freeplays are derived from Call of Chernobyl, including Anomaly
CoC's main selling point is the ability to install modular addons without them constantly interfering, just like in bethesda games
Anomaly is an updated version of one of the CoC forks, 64bit an stuff

If you're looking for a freeplay mod with more creative vision and intent, there are mods such as:
Road to the North
Call of the Zone
Legend Returns
and, if you really want to play Anomaly for some reason:
Old World Addon

For story mods, i'd personally suggest:
Spatial Anomaly
Valley of Whispers
Wind of Time
Goldsphere and its sequel Return to the Zone
Oblivion Lost Remake 2.5/3.0
Vector of Alienation (an OLR fork)

solyankas take roots in the early stalker modding, where people were mostly sticking shit together until it launched, as of now there are two most popular (and translated) solyankas:
Narodnaya Solyanka 2016 (People's Soup 2016)
And its fork, the biggest stalker mod as of now:
OP 2.2 (Cumulative Pack 2.2.)
Under this category would also fall NLC 7 (New Level Changer), the "most hardcore" mod for stalker, some people even beat it

oh and also do not research under any circumstances:
REBORN trilogy
AlternativA

[worn oar]

See? Told ya

Just imagine if NozAr accidently sweared

[half cedar]

Gotta survive just 42 days... and 8 hours

i copied my message 8 times in case of that

[worn oar]

[random surge]

2024-2009=25 means 25yr to upgrade

LMFAO

[dapper finch]

There was another Stalker 2 in development in 2011 that was cancelled.

[random surge]

i'm waiting for gaming laptops to get cheaper and better

[worn oar]

It'll be an upgrade gift from your son by then if thats the case

[dapper finch]

Great maths ❓

[random surge]

LMFAO LOOOOOOL

[worn oar]

My heart is crying blood for you

[random surge]

i think laptops will be better next year. i hope so

[worn oar]

Laptops are not really meant for heavy gaming. You should be able to get a decent PC instead

You can get something within a reasonable budget if that's the case

[dapper finch]

Yeah laptops are bad value for performance and depreciate even faster, with poor or no upgradeability. Also any issues and you're more likely to need an entirely new computer than just one part.

[granite mortar]

So true bestie

[granite mortar]

Erm actually it was 4:31 when I sent the message and 4:32 when you answered

[frozen sail]

is stalker 2 gonna be released 5th for 100 percent?

[naive fog]

Ye

It's only like bugtesting rn

[random surge]

true but with poor electricity and non stable positioning you definitely need laptop

[north wadi]

Duh if we remember the ones who didn't last to see stalker 2

[dapper finch]

Would a UPS help?

[random surge]

do you mean power station?

[dapper finch]

Yeah

[random surge]

yup but it cost like a laptop u know

[half cedar]

🙏 To the poor souls that won't see the release

[dapper finch]

but you only need to buy it once, like most of pc components (and the rest have decent resale value when upgrading)

A laptop is like burning money

[random surge]

guess some gaming laptops are less than 600$

[valid thicket]

For the last arena fight do you think it was meant to kill you

Like it was a set up

No way you are meant to kill a guy in ||and exo suit with 3 grenades and a knife||

[naive fog]

Wdym no way?

You should've been doing it anyways

[valid thicket]

I mean I've done it before but I think it was meant to kill the marked one. Like someone paid to have you killed

[naive fog]

Oh lore wise

Maybe

[valid thicket]

And the fact the arena master doesn't tell you the catch

[verbal osprey]

Or a steam deck just get a docking station for it and wire it up to a monitor

[valid thicket]

Took me three tries but I beat that arena match

[tender torrent]

I don't think tomorrow is a gameplay video S2

[finite dragon]

did the server just collectively did an effort on cyberbullying a person with jjk pfp?

[celest blaze]

naw i acted alone cuz i thought he was being malicous towards the devs

[finite dragon]

how the STOC server came together to bully one guy

lmao

[celest blaze]

theres been a suspcious amount of people bringing up 2-3 year old info to try and discredit the devs

im not saying it could be bad faith actors or enemies of ukraine but it is kinda weird

[finite dragon]

i have my opinion on it but hear me out

you know how games nowadays release in a buggy state right?

[celest blaze]

yeah

[dawn grotto]

.

[finite dragon]

soooooooooo these people have that mindset of stalker might be buggy then when they look at stuff like nfts and the ultimate edition benefits they doubt the game being good on release

[dawn grotto]

why do you think i thought it was buggy cause of the nft's and ultimate edition benifits

[worn oar]

What's up?

[celest blaze]

but if you google stalker nfts it was from 2021 and was cancelled in less then an hour after it was announced

[dawn grotto]

im more worried the devs might get a bit bethesday

[dawn grotto]

a guy on reddit reuploaded it : D

[finite dragon]

eh i was giving my opinion

[dawn grotto]

i thought it was recent

[celest blaze]

ah

[half bone]

Goldensphere sux 😡

[loud gate]

Did not succeed either way.

[finite dragon]

i can help you with that

find a frying pan
ask someone to hit you with it
then now your asleep

[granite mortar]

its okay
not everyone is based enough to appreciate it

[loud gate]

What if I live alone?

[worn oar]

What you heard is wrong. Dw about it, just have faith and all shall good.

[finite dragon]

try to take warm showers

drink herb tea

[dawn grotto]

yes yes i was just worried the nft i gave wasn't gonna get my ugly body in the game

[finite dragon]

try anything besides sleeping pills and if they dont work for you

then use sleeping pills but dont use them like skittles

[celest blaze]

I wish I coulda been modeled into stalker 2 tbh woulda been neat experience

[dawn grotto]

also i did join this server 2 years ago then left ; D

[celest blaze]

God I'd pay huge money to get ryan gosling in stalker 2

[dawn grotto]

yes especially after that monolith video

[celest blaze]

ONG

[finite dragon]

[gloomy knoll]

What is a sleeping schedule?

[dawn grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BKHq7v7bWI&ab_channel=NiftyTheStalker

[celest blaze]

@dawn grotto sorry for earlier btw kinda feel bad

[worn oar]

As I said, it won't ! Dw about your body being an ingame model

[loud gate]

[dawn grotto]

yes yes is fine

now leave me alone

[worn oar]

Mozi, I can punch you to sleep if you ask

[finite dragon]

like try multiple methods like doing sports and trying to do it at times where everyone should be asleep to get you to be tired

[junior creek]

Anyone know why after a mission in lab x16, the guide does not appear in Kordon? I also don't have a mission related to it in my PDA

[crisp ruin]

or I can show him this emoji

[celest goblet]

Well there is one bug that I know can cause that, which is leaving the X-16 lab into the tunnels before the audio message from Ghost finishes playing

[loud gate]

finally.. some common sense

[crisp ruin]

[finite dragon]

leave no witnesses if someone saw you

[junior creek]

[finite dragon]

kordon

[worn oar]

That's what brothers do

[half bone]

:CatRacist:

[umbral rune]

Any news for today?

[worn oar]

Wouldn't punch you too stalkerette if that's what you're asking

[worn oar]

Wait a little longer

[granite mortar]

did you check Ghosts body?

[junior creek]

Yes

[granite mortar]

you suuuuure?

[junior creek]

100%

[gloomy knoll]

Ghosts body is one in a lifetime, you remember when you check this bad boy out

[celest blaze]

bro clear sky and loners have declared war on eachother in COTZ i dont wanna fight my chad sky brothers

[celest goblet]

If you left before the message finished playing you may have to reload to inside the lab

[gloomy knoll]

Duty and Mil are in an alliance by now in my run

And I am not part of duty still

[granite mortar]

damn
Gold Rash Bandoot was equal to Nimble

[celest blaze]

Oh no 💀

[gloomy knoll]

So Agroprom, yantar and bar are a cesspool of enemies

I saw that message

[dawn grotto]

huh

[gloomy knoll]

And I know it was a freedom member hat must've send it @dawn grotto

[finite dragon]

Speaking of Agroprom

I hope Stalker 2 will have a mission where 99% of the players will go loud and get an unreasonable fight, while the real way of doing it would be to wait until night time and do stealth.

[celest blaze]

Based

I like the stealthy idea tbh

[granite mortar]

Poor Haban

[gloomy knoll]

YES! Loner and ecos have a ceasefire!

[warm linden]

@celest blaze bro the military in lab x-18 were using RPDs 😭 THEY WERE READY FOR ME

[celest blaze]

[celest blaze]

the labs are no joke haha i think x16 also had folks with lmgs

[granite mortar]

Reddit users are just a bit slow

[dawn grotto]

ehm why believe in religion...

[patent mortar]

oh

[dawn grotto]

When you can believe in the monolith! oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us. May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will. Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.

[patent mortar]

Got some questions regarding a specific mod, its Global War. Any experienced players played the game?

[granite mortar]

Im atheist

[granite mortar]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[patent mortar]

oh ok

[dawn grotto]

Come on just believe in the Monolith, join us Brother.

[granite mortar]

no
Monolith is gay af

[warm linden]

how did you get here

[dawn grotto]

Your factions are cowards, your brothers have left you, you leader have left you, you feel the cold around your body the the Monolith joins you. the Monolith will provide you warmth and purpose.

is that a good monolith propaganda line

[patent mortar]

idk

[granite mortar]

Screw you
One more message from you and Ill blow your stupid glowing rock to smithereens just so you would shut up about it

[dawn grotto]

I love the renegades.

[granite mortar]

renegadis gods of zona

[patent mortar]

damn you never played Global War before?

[granite mortar]

nah, I dont like freeplay mods

they are peak boredom

[patent mortar]

freeplay is where you're not tied to any faction?

[granite mortar]

freeplay is no story essentially

[dawn grotto]

man freeplay

[granite mortar]

or when the story is so abysmally bad that it isnt really a story
Thats Anomalys case

[patent mortar]

oh

[dawn grotto]

at that point if you want something to do just get a job no offense

or on free time maybe learn something

[celest blaze]

Cotz is only good free play mod

[warm linden]

@celest blaze I GOT A GAUSS RIFLE

[warm linden]

[twilit walrus]

did you buy it for 800 roubles?

[valid thicket]

Wouldn't the Monolith be a religion?

[celest blaze]

Aye haha very nice! I'd watch if I could! I gotta leave for work in a few

[dawn grotto]

No no! is the truth!

[celest blaze]

Praise monolith

[dawn grotto]

the scientist who try to study it are devils who should be eradicated, we should only face the truth of the Monolith.

[finite dragon]

nuh uh

[celest blaze]

When I think of monolith I think of gosling and how could you go against him

[warm linden]

no I picked it up from dead monolith
