Fax.

[finite dragon]

🚬

[naive fog]

I didn't take any last playthrough bro and I was fine

Running no bandages is fun

[slow crescent]

Same.

[naive fog]

CNPP, Limansk the big stuff

There are different severities of hits

[granite mortar]

no

[gaunt burrow]

I mean yes but its not always like this

[naive fog]

Normal ones are like 2-3

[gaunt burrow]

you don't always have to spend 4 bandages to stop bleeding

[granite mortar]

I ran through Limansk on like 10 medkits

[slow crescent]

Hell yeah. Ran outta anti rads in the CNPP and died just before the wishgranter. Had to restart 💀

[worn oar]

It was what they believed too .

[gaunt burrow]

it depends on severity

[gloomy knoll]

But I want to

[granite mortar]

but to be fair I had 4 thousand rounds of ammo so...

[naive fog]

It's not most of the time, it shows that you aren't utilising cover and taking severe hits

Then y u have so many severe hits lol

[granite mortar]

thats goddamn right
CS IS PEAK
Peak Sky
Its called Peak Sky because its PEAK
People who oppose tthis got their ass beaten by Vist, Red Forest Renegades, Limansk hospital helicopter (if they even made it that far) and teleporter Monolithians at NPP

CS is gods of trilogia

[gaunt burrow]

real

[naive fog]

Ye like I just go through and play the game

[granite mortar]

so real

I literally dont get why people hate Limansk, you get 10 medkits, Trophy AKM, loot the Red Forest tank and you go
They cant stop you
You use Foresters Vintar for bridge and the AKM will slice through Monolith like hot knife through butter
You get the Bulldog at Limansk and the helicopter stands no chance

[gaunt burrow]

honestly though bleeding problem in CS is still annoying. bleeding artifacts you don't encounter at early stages, and even when you have fully upgraded suit like SEVA you still get bleeding after 1 or few hits

[naive fog]

I use the PKM against the tank

[gaunt burrow]

my SEVA always has 45 bulletproof-ness and honestly feels like it doesn't makes any difference

[naive fog]

More fun to feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger

[granite mortar]

PKM is heavy, alrho the capacity is good

[gaunt burrow]

because enemies make me bleed in one or few hits

[granite mortar]

but I do very much love the absurdity of AKM chambered in 7.62x54

[naive fog]

I keep the rounds given for the rest of the game

[granite mortar]

well the tank gives you 2000
more than enough for every Monolithian in Limansk, Hospital and NPP

heck even the Helicopter will die before you run out of ammo

[naive fog]

Ik

[granite mortar]

CS is easy if you have basic awareness of your surroundings and knowledge of guaranteed stashes

[gloomy knoll]

Contemplating to get the PKM in my cotz run

[gaunt burrow]

CS is hard only in your first playthrough I think

[naive fog]

Ye like I do duty and loner faction wars, come in limansk with a fully upgraded exo and bleeding artefacts with the PKM and an obokan or something and absolutely wreck them with basically no meds

[covert slate]

i just can't wait to get my hands on a Saiga 12 once the new game comes out

[gaunt burrow]

because there's no way newbie would know nuances about how to bypass Vist, etc

[granite mortar]

I didnt struggle much even then
Except for the bridge
I lost copious amounts of ammo there
And the Teleporters were pain but my suit was also trash so

[naive fog]

Vist ye but the rest idk don't think they would be hard for newbies

[gaunt burrow]

so frustration is pretty understandable

[granite mortar]

[gaunt burrow]

or the fact that all enemy NPCs throw nades with 100% accuracy

[naive fog]

First playthrough I used the accuracy of the PKM to kill the bridge guys

[granite mortar]

well they had to balance the terrible gun accuracy somehow

[naive fog]

Ye but you can always move away from the nade

[granite mortar]

or you can, you know
quicksave
it defuses the grenades

[naive fog]

Or tank it with good armour

[gaunt burrow]

just kill enemies when you hear them screaming grenade

asap

[naive fog]

Ye but if they manage to throw one

Run away or tank it, just don't die

[gaunt burrow]

still though, enemies are accurate asf with grenades

honestly feels like every enemy NPC in Clear Sky completed grenade throwing school

because their accuracy with nades is ridiculous even by videogame standard

[naive fog]

Ik bro once I was in the freedom base up on one of the towers picking them off and I got a nade through the window and at my feet. A good 60 metres

[granite mortar]

so guys which song from the new soundtrack is your favourite?

[naive fog]

I haven't really listened to them, I wanna save em for the experience

Just like I'm only watching bits of the dev video

I don't wanna see a story quest walkthrough

[granite mortar]

oh
thats interesting

[naive fog]

Maybe a side quest or smthn but not story

Imagine they let us have orange subtitles

[granite mortar]

[naive fog]

Already made a suggestion today

Idk I hate white subtitles, really annoyed me in fallout 4

Would've been fitting to have green ones

[granite mortar]

white is hard to read half the time

[naive fog]

But if we get the Metro style orange subtitles I'm gonna be so happy

[granite mortar]

well orange is good choice, it contrasts with majority of colours you commonly see in games like Metro and Stalker

[warm linden]

alright good I am actually okay, I'm just gonna drink water

[meager kindle]

My friends how many stalker games there are

And in what order should i start playing them

[gaunt burrow]

3 in total

start with Shadow of Chernobyl, then Clear Sky and lastly Call of Pripyat

[covert slate]

as long as subtitles are in a darkened box or have a dark backdrop behind them that usually helps immensely, why most games don't do this is beyond me

[naive fog]

Hell id just be happy with orange

[covert slate]

yeah but sometimes you might be told something near a fire and that could be annoying

[naive fog]

Fair enough

[covert slate]

hence why i love when subtitles or any text on screen is shown and it has a "shadow" behind the letters i never have an issue with it

[meager kindle]

Thankyou

Do you have any suggested mod packs

[gaunt burrow]

Never played any mods tbh

its better to ask mod related questions in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications channel or in C-Consciousness Discord tbh

[jaunty pebble]

While I do recommend going full vanilla, lets be real the base games are unstable as hell

[gaunt burrow]

they're not as unstable as many people say tbh

[proven shadow]

CoP is fine

[gaunt burrow]

no groundbreaking bugs (at least I've never encountered any in all my playthroughs)

just some minor bugs

[proven shadow]

CoP with beard sells everything and a weapon pack is still how I play it after all these years.

[gaunt burrow]

CoP is most polished game but

still not without minor bugs

[proven shadow]

I see nothing wrong.

[gaunt burrow]

[proven shadow]

Lol

So uh why do some have blue name and some have faction next to name ? How do roles function on this server ?

[gaunt burrow]

yeah its pretty exaggerated

I mean sure vanilla games do have some bugs but they're not groundbreaking ones

not on "those bugs are making games unplayable" level

[proven shadow]

Stalker without bugs isnt stalker.

WHAT THE F IS A STABLE GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCEE ??

[gaunt burrow]

bugs add certain charm to the games

or are they really bugs? or just anomalies?

[celest blaze]

Fr

[proven shadow]

Clearly anomalies

[dense hatch]

bugs aren't an issue until a story critical NPC gets stuck in terrain

[gaunt burrow]

Skull isn't a character that's important to the story tbh

mission that is optional and can be ignored

[proven shadow]

Its not cannon that he wins tho 😦

[finite dragon]

bad example of showing a "bug" this stalker is just holding his rifle the correct way

[gaunt burrow]

he doesn't wins for sure

[solid dome]

Day 2 of 117 days

[gaunt burrow]

becase Vano's ending slide in CoP says "Freedom controlled military warehouses"

[proven shadow]

Omg krezzin hiii

[gaunt burrow]

so AW is still under Freedom's control even in CoP. Meaning that Skull and his Dutyers didn't infiltrated Freedom base

[proven shadow]

Which is lame. They shouldnt have sidequests this big like killing an entire faction off in stalker 2 unless it matters in the next game imo

[gaunt burrow]

It makes sense why Marked One/Strelok would ignore such things tbh

[proven shadow]

Or is left to the interpretation

[gaunt burrow]

he had his own problems to worry about

instead of spending his time on Skull vs Freedom fight

[proven shadow]

Nah it doesnt. My strelok is different than yours..my strelok hates the zone and its filthy lil mutants ❤️

[solid dome]

Korshunov, the warden of the Heart Correctional Facility, has announced. Prisoners sentence will be extended until further notice, anyone who had left 44 days to lie in the cell will now rest there for another 117 days, because I SAID SO. Korshunov, out.

[granite mortar]

no it isnt

[gaunt burrow]

I mean lore Strelok literally ignored Skull's quests

true

[proven shadow]

Yeah ik thats what I mean. The sidequests shouldnt be this big imo

[gaunt burrow]

I can never see Scar canonically participating in other faction wars other than Renegades vs Clear Sky

especially given the urgency of Clear Sky's main story

[solid dome]

Day STALKER 2 becomes available, I track down Korshunov and abuse him beyond hell.

[terse mirage]

hey guys i’m pretty new to the stalker franchise and got into gamma while waiting for s2. I’ve been thinking about playing the trilogy to experience more about the story etc but is it worth it to play all of them or should i just try cop ?

[solid dome]

I'll glitch him out of existence

[gaunt burrow]

complete all 3 games

[dense hatch]

all of them

[gaunt burrow]

start with Shadow of Chernobyl, then Clear Sky and then CoP

[dense hatch]

don't start with CoP

[proven shadow]

All of them are worth playing

Listen Gamma imo is just tarkov in the zone. Its not stalker.

If you want to experience stalker just play the originals. You will understand what I mean. Rn it sounds like elitism lol

[solid dome]

Uninstall Gamma and never touch that piece of rotten, dehumanized shit

[gaunt burrow]

you're confusing SoC with CS XD

Family rifle sidequest is SoC one

which is given by SoC character hunter

[proven shadow]

Krezzin basically said what I said just with more Krezzin LOL

[gaunt burrow]

no

CS has item retrieval sideqeusts

but not any quest about family rifle

[terse mirage]

ok thanks guys ! Honestly even if i’m getting my ass kicked most of the time i really enjoy gamma so far except it’s a bit frustrating to experience the game without knowing the story that much (like i’m still not sure i can make the difference between ecologists and monolith lmao)

[naive fog]

And doesn't have 100 rads bar

[gaunt burrow]

Rostok isn't even accessible in Clear Sky

just mentioned in a dialogue

[naive fog]

Ye

[proven shadow]

Bruh 💀 .
Its fine. Dont worry about what we think if you have fun then I am happy for you.

You should play the originals imo they are really good games

Just be warned that you will get sucked into the lore once you start..

[gaunt burrow]

closest thing to retriaval of family item in Clear Sky would be this sidequest I guess

where random stalker is asking for grandpa's pistol

[finite dragon]

GSC should actually announce the exact time when Stalker 2 drops then delay it by 2 hours

for the lulz

[terse mirage]

ahahah get it

[dense hatch]

the biggest issue with gamma is the file bloat lmao

[terse mirage]

thx bro ! Honestly i’m gonna get the whole trilogy specially as i feel like s2 is not gonna be the same experience at all but more like an open world fps with nice graphics but i hope i’m wrong 🫠

[gaunt burrow]

from what we know, S2 will indeed be like original trilogy

[proven shadow]

Its going to be a stalker game and not like gamma. Gamma is not stalker broski

[dense hatch]

modded stalker can be a little strange

[terse mirage]

ofc i understand it’s completely different

[finite dragon]

how do stalkerZ feel after the delay?

[flint moth]

You see Ivan, when hold rifle like this, have better control, for fear of hitting shoulder.

[proven shadow]

Depressed with a slight undertone of tomfoolery what about u ?

[flint moth]

@proven shadow
Like...scoobs...those vietnamese were unarmed....
RHEHEHEHEHEHE

[terse mirage]

well now i have more time to learn my classics !

[finite dragon]

Demos literally play like CoP with slightly slower movement speed so...

[solid dome]

Biggest issue of Gamma is its not Alpha @dense hatch

[gaunt burrow]

like this

[finite dragon]

i was thinking about @solid dome if he killed hisself or not

[proven shadow]

bro wtf

[solid dome]

I was on the rope

[gaunt burrow]

wtf man

[finite dragon]

[gaunt burrow]

better be sarcasm or we'll kill you ourselves

[solid dome]

Take it with a Bag of Sarcasm

[gaunt burrow]

[finite dragon]

it SUCKS

[proven shadow]

Somebody post that gif with the stalker shooting a rpg into his head lol

[dense hatch]

I'll throw bricks at you

[solid dome]

[proven shadow]

[gaunt burrow]

I do be bit devious sometimes

guilty

[flint moth]

Wait what I need to see this gif

[dire dagger]

Fellow brick thrower based

[celest blaze]

and that its barely stalker

[proven shadow]

https://youtu.be/cwomc7T2vXU?si=t9qAkoGih9HG03Xt here it is, tremor's unalive basically but with a rpg..its famous

[celest blaze]

if the trilogy was like gamma id never touch them and play better games

[dense hatch]

it's less about "oh it's not stalker" and more the fact that it's not a fun reinvention of anything

[half bone]

what if it was like the misery mod?

[dense hatch]

a stalker mod focusing less on trading could be interesting

[half bone]

misery mod came out before lil tarkov

[celest blaze]

naw classic trilogy is the best imo

[nimble cipher]

harrisbonkers has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[half bone]

i'm just asking you a question

[celest blaze]

misery wouldnt be the end of the world but not as good as the ogs imo

[half bone]

what if it had misery features but without the bs

[celest blaze]

what are the features ? ive never touched misery tbh

[dense hatch]

woops

[proven shadow]

What if stalker mods werent focused on being "hard" but fun instead ? Ikr what a wild concept for some

[celest blaze]

did trilogy > tried gamma/efp/anomaly but uninstalled those pretty quickly and im loving call of the zone

[celest blaze]

fr honestly thats why i hate gamma and these mod packs they arent stalker

[half bone]

like the good parts of the misery mod, and without the bad things about it

mutant skinning, repairing, and more

[celest blaze]

skinning, repairing etc are nice features

[jaunty pebble]

Yea I encountered some fatal crashes and gamebreaking bugs on SoC and CS(CS had a few but still)

[proven shadow]

Wait you hate having 30 different medical items (90% of which are useless) ???? HAHA

[half bone]

anomaly removed like 50% of these features

[celest blaze]

[granite mortar]

buy all
gamma is poopoo far detached ffrom what Stalker is

[half bone]

clear sky bias

[gaunt burrow]

People accuse CS of being the most buggy one in the trilogy, but I honestly encountered less bugs in CS than in SoC

[jaunty pebble]

Gamma is what an EFT player thinks Stalker is

[celest blaze]

first you need to get rid of gamma its ass and nothing like stalker lol

[granite mortar]

Gamma is Dead Air but bad and tarkovized

[proven shadow]

Bro what if Grok was on this server ? He would have been crying in here every day

[celest blaze]

why are you playing fan mods before playing the trilogy??

[jaunty pebble]

For me, SoC was the most buggy one but I can’t say CS didn’t had any bugs

[celest blaze]

he is

[jaunty pebble]

He is in this server

[granite mortar]

He is here
and Ive seen him offended more often than not

[proven shadow]

Lol

[gaunt burrow]

Grok is on this server, he just isn't active

[half bone]

got like 99 dms from monokits angry fans

[gaunt burrow]

I only saw him responding to mentions

[celest blaze]

if you play gamma thinking stalker 2 is going to be anything like it you will be disappointed

i am gammas biggest op its what X would have wanted

[dense hatch]

no...

[proven shadow]

Lol

[half bone]

anomaly is meh, it's just revisisted misery 2.2 with less features

[celest blaze]

anomaly story is also ass so barren

[half bone]

that's why i installed some storylines mods for it

[proven shadow]

Guys I know how to kill anomaly. Listen closely before the gamma fanboys get to me.

We make a mod for SPT to add anomalies and mutants. Then they will just move to play tarkov and leave us alone

[dense hatch]

the story is just a flimsy main goal

[celest blaze]

yes haha

[half bone]

but they were made by vasyans, sadly

[dense hatch]

I think I'd like anomaly more if it had the old movement

[proven shadow]

They are at my door ! Enact the SPT contingency ! Glory to stalker GLORY TO

[dense hatch]

old world was a fun mod because it changed the gameplay to have a pulse

[celest blaze]

i wish anomaly was just cotz with 64 bit engine

[half bone]

anomaly needs a new story, rebalancing, and more

anomaly uses CoC openxray x64 engine reforked into monolith engine

[granite mortar]

not even story
just go here pick up this no this passage isnt entirely stolen from SoC but with weaker goals bro I swear

[celest blaze]

[dense hatch]

I liked some of the changes to the miracle machine but radar being entirely unchanged was sad

[granite mortar]

there were changes to X-16?

[dense hatch]

same with most of the labs

[dense hatch]

added burer and a couple extra spawns

slightly better but the rest have literally no changes

[granite mortar]

damn
thats rework on level of their "map reworks" which are jsut more grass and trees
remake they didnt EVEN MAKE THEMSELVES

[proven shadow]

The thing I really like are the PDA messages.
"NAME - FOUND IN X Body is phasing in and out of reality" or shit like that

Thats about the only thing I think anomaly does well and its nowhere near enough xD

[celest blaze]

fr lol

[dense hatch]

isn't that from uh

[granite mortar]

to be fair the new guitar tracks are cool
too bad you dont get to hear them because NPCs barely do their iconic activities from SoC

[dense hatch]

CoC?

[granite mortar]

yes
its from CoC

[gaunt burrow]

CoC

THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED

[celest blaze]

im in dire need of stalker movie with ryan gosling as protagonist

[proven shadow]

^ ryan catling

[celest blaze]

AYO

[dense hatch]

aren't there like 2 stalker fan films at the moment?

I haven't been following very well

[celest blaze]

i think so but id love to see ryan do it

as soon as i saw the ryan stalker videos i was hooked

[dense hatch]

why

[celest blaze]

ryan is perfect and i love stalker

[dense hatch]

oh some of the extras from the first film are making the second

neat

[jaunty pebble]

When the game releases I know most people will kill Korshunov

[granite mortar]

I wont
He is literally Vasim
Ill make him my bestie instead of Richter

[jaunty pebble]

Speaking of Vasim, you seen him?

Been long since I saw him here

[granite mortar]

pretty sure I saw him yessterday

[jaunty pebble]

Probably when I was offline

[flint moth]

throws gauss rifle

[proven shadow]

[dense hatch]

I kinda disliked how that quest went

unlike a lot of the other ones you don't really have an alternative outcome

[proven shadow]

Which quest ? Missing stalkers (tremors quest) ?

[gaunt burrow]

pretty sure he meant that quest

[proven shadow]

Well I was coming there to kill him so I guess he did us both a favour by offing himself lmao

Like iirc he is just a sicko murderer

[gaunt burrow]

I killed him before he off'd himself in last playthrough

getting his PDA and showing it to Beard later as a proof is a pretty nice tough

[gaunt burrow]

he has hemoglobin addiction

[proven shadow]

Who cares ? He is still a psycho murderer ?

[gaunt burrow]

I kinda feel bad for him tbh

because he thought that this sickness would get cured in the Zone

[proven shadow]

Bro

[cyan canopy]

weirdos in the zone

[flint grail]

Pictures moments before disaster

[gaunt burrow]

I mean, its not his fault that he has this sickness is it?

[proven shadow]

No but its his fault that he hurts others. What if you need a liver transplant you just go and kill random people to get their organs haha ?? No way I can feel sorry for him

I can only respect that he had the guts to do it himself before I did

First time I barged in there with a spas xD

[gaunt burrow]

I think he only drank blood from donor before

because according to his own words there was always a surplus

so it wouldn't make sense for him to randomly kill others in this case imo

[proven shadow]

He should have worked in a blood donor clinic or smth. It doesnt excuse his actions

Hell at least go kill bandits lmao or monolith. Not loners

[gaunt burrow]

On that I agree

all my homies hate bandits

[proven shadow]

Bandits are so wacky

[celest blaze]

fr

plus dont bandits run a slave trade in the garbage?

[gaunt burrow]

they have/had a literal concentration camp there

and were forcing stalkers to work for 16 hours

[celest blaze]

it is our duty to wipe out bandits

[proven shadow]

Hell yeah ! Send the space marines duty exo squads to wipe em out

[gaunt burrow]

poor loners fr

and yk what the worst thing is? Sultan in CoP heavily implies that bandits have control over the Garbage again

[proven shadow]

Injustice makes my blood boil fr. I hate those bandits.

Even monolith is better..bandits are just pure evil

[gaunt burrow]

last part is huge exaggeration tho

[proven shadow]

Bro is coping hard

They are fodder ngl

[dense hatch]

it never ends

[flint grail]

||Snitching him out to beard always makes me happy||

[dense hatch]

I don't think I've ever sided with them

[proven shadow]

Tbh first thing in CoP you get "robbed" by loners

[gaunt burrow]

I sided with him just recently

only for additional dialogues

[proven shadow]

Its all gone to shit. Cant trust anyone these days

[gaunt burrow]

and just once

[dense hatch]

oh right the barge

[gaunt burrow]

Tuna and Snag

[celest blaze]

Even the bandits that surrender in cotz I execute

[proven shadow]

Yep

[proven shadow]

Based af !

[unborn wagon]

Hi Stalker, I noticed that the launch has been postponed again from 5 September to 20 November, I just wanted to know if the Collector Edition I ordered from Amazon will be delivered on 5 September? I hope this is a correct channel.

[cyan canopy]

God may forgive them but i dont

[dense hatch]

why would it?

[pearl olive]

yea S2's been delayed but not foryou

[celest blaze]

[dense hatch]

I'm surprised how rarely stalkers surrender

[celest blaze]

Fr I've only seen it a couple times

[proven shadow]

If bandits are so bad I am curious how bad renegades are

[cyan canopy]

Cheap ass bandits

[proven shadow]

The lore on them is small

[celest blaze]

Same idk much about renegades

[gaunt burrow]

renegades don't even have a proper lore so hard to say

[cyan canopy]

that disagree with Yoga

but Yoga is bad leader though

[proven shadow]

Renegades are battlepass bandit skin :))))

[gaunt burrow]

Even for bandits standards he's 100% scum

I actually wouldn't be surprised if many Renegades were former bandits that didn't liked nor Yoga nor his leadership

[celest blaze]

I'd like that as official lore tbh

[cyan canopy]

I guess bandits in the zone are split different leader and groups

[celest blaze]

You gotta be bad if you got bandits leaving you

[proven shadow]

I thought they were just so bad even bandits hated them but they are prob a splinter gang ye

[gaunt burrow]

according to SoC's PDA entry about them different gangs also fight eachother

but in all 3 games that doesn't happens

[broken latch]

Not like anyone lives by the code in the zone, surrender means either slavery or certain death

[gaunt burrow]

missed opportunity if you ask me

[proven shadow]

Bro imagine being a criminal in a gang without the actual perks..like at least outside the zone criminals get money or whatever.
What do they have in the zone xD ?
Bandits are just bozos

And they deserve to get a lead infusion ❤️

[cyan canopy]

In my headcanon:
Borov is leader of Bandits in Dark Valley and Sultan is leader in Zaton gang

[gaunt burrow]

there is a case of bandits actually getting successful and leaving the Zone

[pearl olive]

there's no authority.. so they take anything/everything they can by force.. meaning they have wayyy more power/resources in the zone probably

[gaunt burrow]

its not really a headcanon

its the truth

there are also minor characters like Shishak and Jack, who are leaders of their own gangs but there's non existent lore about them

[dense hatch]

bandits take hostages a couple times

[nimble cipher]

almightybogza has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dense hatch]

such as that one guy in CoP

[cyan canopy]

i guess you right.. Borov gang in SoC is kinda weak though the reason why there no bandit wearing Bandit LC Suit

[proven shadow]

It just feels like a bad deal to me. They dont live the life..unless they like living in the hell that is the zone xD

[pearl olive]

oh yea they're rats i just think the zone is where the rats thrive

[proven shadow]

I dont even know what the Ward is about

[solid dome]

SWAT of The Zone

[proven shadow]

They cut the rats mutant because bandits are already rats

[cyan canopy]

While Zaton bandit lead by Sultan is most likely well equipped

[proven shadow]

Oh damn based af then im in

[gaunt burrow]

I never had the impression that Borov and his crew were weak honestly. because they even took Dutyers as hostages

[solid dome]

So far only I'll nuke him, 1 vote is me

[gaunt burrow]

and main character was hired by Barkeep to deal with them

[solid dome]

Anyone else join the KORSHUNOV ELIMINATION effort?

[proven shadow]

What did the guy do god damn ?@solid dome

Bro got opps in a unreleased game

[cyan canopy]

what if Bandit use some of ambush and then captured one of them and even execute one

[gaunt burrow]

gameplaywise they might seem weak but lorewise they aren't that hopeless

[pearl olive]

I just hope I can stay a free stalker... not trying to join a fraternity in S2 if I dont have to

[gaunt burrow]

seems like he stayed true to his words

[proven shadow]

I hope I can join factions ngl but also stay neutral if I want to

[celest blaze]

same

i want the choice

[cyan canopy]

Remembers Mercs in CS that use underground tunnel?.. Bandit may found it so they used to ambush some stalkers that passing by.

[gaunt burrow]

that's possible

[pearl olive]

yea that's closer to what I meant.. if the story makes it necessary/more interesting i'll do it straight away

[gaunt burrow]

but even in that case it would make them formidable

because that would mean that they use their heads

and aren't just some dumbasses that scream funny phrases

[cyan canopy]

or get drunked while fighting

[proven shadow]

I hope the new factions are still complex. I dont want X faction to be just the bad guys unless it makes sense like the bandits.

Stalker always had well written factions

[broken latch]

Slavery yes

And a few non slaves

[gaunt burrow]

I agree about factions being well written

whats sad is how misunderstood factions such as Freedom are

[proven shadow]

Freedom ??? You mean duty right ? Most new players think they are fascist or some shit

And ofc then they tell us that on reddit XD

[broken latch]

Newbies are brainwashed

[cyan canopy]

People called them bad guys because anarchist stuff but in the end they just had different politics about the zone

[gaunt burrow]

Duty too but there are way more stereotypes and misconceptions about Freedom

I only saw memes about Duty being gay and Duty being fascists

[proven shadow]

Being unable to kill dogs too is also a popular meme

[gaunt burrow]

with Freedom it's them having sex with bloodsuckers, them always being drunk, high, them having 0 discipline and way more

[gaunt burrow]

yeah that as well

[proven shadow]

The first 1 is just anomaly slop isnt it ?

[cyan canopy]

I love Kruglov had same opinion on the zone

[proven shadow]

Like that isnt lore

[gaunt burrow]

in the lore bandits say that mutants seem hot to them, not freedomers

[cyan canopy]

True

[gaunt burrow]

last line

[proven shadow]

Bro is just zoinked out of his mind

[gaunt burrow]

that dialogue might be shared between Freedom and Duty members at the Garbage, but thats because those 2 factions in that location don't have their own dialogues

[proven shadow]

Or just sits in the south where its a "joyride"

[gaunt burrow]

but that isn't first and last case of dialogue being shared in Clear Sky

this dialogue about loners compaining about Duty for example is also shared in many locations

or dialogue about Scar helping stalkers

[dense hatch]

shame it's never confirmed scar is who killed fang

[gaunt burrow]

Scar never even met Fang

he was after him but never encountered him

when Scar got robbed by those 2 bandits near Flea Market his focus shifted on Strelok

plus Lebedev in his voice message said "We'll take care of Fang and Ghost"

[dense hatch]

someone with a similar description to scar using a vintar kills fang, which is what I was referring to

[gaunt burrow]

ahh this dude

That dude has Vintar like Scar but Scar doesn't really has hazel eyes, nor was he ever roaming around the Zone with 2 bandits

I think it was some random merc that was hired by Clear Sky

[earnest bear]

Do I need to worry about all those random failed missions showing up

Defending base failed
Find base something failed

[cyan canopy]

Dunno i think it only affect your reputation

[gaunt burrow]

SoC?

[earnest bear]

Yes

[gaunt burrow]

you don't have to worry about failing missions

[maiden zinc]

now releasing when poe2 comes out? dang

[celest blaze]

I don't see the issue tbh they are vastly different games

[maiden zinc]

I'm just talking personally, Ain't gonna have time for stalker 😭

[celest blaze]

Oh fair haha

[dense hatch]

they might push it back again for a Christmas release

[solid dome]

I'm inclined to think STALKER 2 is delayed so much so I can die first before its out, GSC are EVIL>

They want me dead, so my spirit releases first

[gaunt burrow]

have kids, at least they'll be able to play S2

looking at everything on a bright side is important

[solid dome]

There is no bright side if you are locked in a dark room, brotski

[proven shadow]

Go outside :3

[solid dome]

The chamber has no windows

[jaunty pebble]

Then create a light source

[gaunt burrow]

what happened to "there's always light at the end of a tunnel?"

[jaunty pebble]

Use your PDA lol

[solid dome]

I can't, I'm locked in a sphere-like place.

[proven shadow]

"Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel leads to hell."

[maiden zinc]

I'm pretty sure when you reach the light, you die

[solid dome]

If you have a flashlight

[ebon burrow]

I feel like it's heavily implied that's still Scar
There's a couple possible explanations, but the most likely is simply an inconsistency on the dev's end between two games, it happens especially in older games like that

[solid dome]

Yep

[sly matrix]

The light is a laser-pointer that blinds you : )

[gaunt burrow]

I think there's already hell on Earth

[flint grail]

Any reports from china 2 hour stalker demo yet?

[gaunt burrow]

Anarchy Cell Documents don't say a word about fighting Fang, it's said that he was ambushed by Clear Sky at the Army Warehouses.

Here's the scenario document from 2007 in which Shtyr is mentioned; here's an excerpt:

Fang and Ghost make their way to the Army Warehouses, where they are ambushed. Fang is killed by a stalker Shtyr. Ghost leaves.

https://new.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/15tsoaz/anarchy_cell_story_synopsis_translated/ better to give it a read

interesting info

One dev from GSC, Ruslan Didenko, said that such an idea was briefly considered, but was abandoned before development of the game really took off

[broken latch]

Who's this shtyr guy

[proven shadow]

Isnt the original concept useless and not canon ?

Or am I missing something ?

[solid dome]

Matt using Reddit as source makes it even more strange

[gaunt burrow]

Reggash is pretty reliable source of information

and that dude knows even more than I do

[solid dome]

Reddit isnt

[gaunt burrow]

cut character afaik

[gaunt burrow]

true

but i wouldn't exactly call it useless

because they have/had interesting ideas

[proven shadow]

Sure but I mean its useless in this argument since its not the final build

[last kraken]

no way stalker 2 got delayed again

[celest goblet]

He's just translating an old design document that was already known. It seems reliable enough

[ebon burrow]

I mean if there's no evidence of Shtyr existing beyond a cut idea, I'd lean towards them having changed it to Scar during development

[gaunt burrow]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jO0w1Fr0BaaboGnPpuWbyd7jPdhLIggP/view

here's the fully translated document (in case anyone is interested)

[ebon burrow]

Wasn't the first time, probably won't be the last

[proven shadow]

I think it was Scar because it makes sense..it would be stupid to just be another stalker who just happens to have another scar on his face haha

But it is possible.

[solid dome]

Wut this?

[gaunt burrow]

Why though? Scar doesn't have hazel eyes

[proven shadow]

Ghost could just be wrong

[ebon burrow]

It could have been originally intended for Scar to have hazel eyes

[gaunt burrow]

nor was he ever roaming around the Zone with 2 bandits, I still think it was random merc that was hired by Clear Sky

[proven shadow]

Or a mistake

[gaunt burrow]

afterall, Lebedev in his voice message did say that they (him and rest of CS) would take care of Fang and Ghost

[ebon burrow]

Or yeah, ghost could also be wrong, which would be a lore explanation

[proven shadow]

Ok thats speculation. Maybe he had a shady deal going he is a merc

[gaunt burrow]

Dunno man, Scar doesn't strikes me as a guy who would use bandits as allies of all people

[proven shadow]

Not allies, business partners. Too much circumstantial evidence its irrelevant.

I think its left as unknown on purpose and just implied it was Scar

The true question is how these dudes dont wear gas masks ? Like fr ??? He just wants to show his badass scar or smth ??

Wear your frickin mask

[gaunt burrow]

few things that go against theory of Scar using bandits as business partners: 1) Scar canonically got robbed at the Garbage

that would logically give Scar reasons to dislike bandits

in case he didn't had dislike towards them from the start

[proven shadow]

Maybe it was a different gang

[gaunt burrow]

2. bandits aren't exactly appropriate for assasination jobs

like honestly, even some skilled stalker could be a better choice than 2 random bandits

[proven shadow]

Maybe if you put a hit on 2 legends you get who you can not who you want to.

As in some random dumb bandits will take on the job (not knowing its their end)

[gaunt burrow]

okay that's a pretty good point

[proven shadow]

Idk its circumstantial we dont know. Its all maybe's and what if's.

I think they just changed it at the end and left it as just "implied" on purpose.

The real question is how this dude didnt wear a mask LOL

[gaunt burrow]

didn't think about it in such an angle

[solid dome]

Ghost is no more a ghost

[proven shadow]

Its kinda funny these god tier stalkers just go about without their masks. Like strelok at the end when has no mask ????

[gaunt burrow]

but there's also Lebedevs voice message though

saying "We'll take care of Fang and Ghost"

[dense hatch]

like 85% of all stalkers don't wear proper helmets

[proven shadow]

Sure but Lebedev isnt some all knowing GM..he might not know Fang is dead.
He just knows they are Strelok's homies

[solid dome]

Both of you are spoiling text which when read here nobody will read in-game @gaunt burrow @proven shadow

[proven shadow]

I try not to think too much about these things because it might aswell be a plothole.

I like to think its left to interpretation on purpose

[gaunt burrow]

Lebedev sends Scar to find Fang after learning that the latter has purchased some electrical parts - in some unexplained way he connected the fact that some random stalker was buying specific electrical parts with the fact that someone was trying to get to the center. How?

[solid dome]

Keep spoiling, lol

[gaunt burrow]

If Lebedev connected harder dots then he wouldn't connect other dots like these?

I kinda doubt it tbh

[proven shadow]

Bro the games are super old. At what point its not spoilers anymore

Why even talk about the game anything can be a spoiler then xD ?

[solid dome]

Game is super old, why talk about anything when everyone spoke about it

[gaunt burrow]

Damn so they’re cancelling physical preorders now?

[hollow hull]

Cant pre order something that is not finished yet, try preordering again on the 26th of April 2086

[celest goblet]

Physical production is a lot more complicated than releasing the game digitally

[gaunt island]

Man I’ve never been so excited for a collectors edition before. And after all these years it was just a tease 😪

[hollow hull]

Was excited myself for the announcement in 2022

At least i get time to get a new gpu by 26th of april 2086

[gaunt island]

What’s funny is I still don’t know if I should get PC or Xbox. I only have a mid tier gaming laptop so not even sure if it would run stalker 2.

[worn oar]

When did you pre-order?

[celest blaze]

Pc is the only option lol consoles suck

[gaunt island]

Yeah so I’d pretty much need to buy a new gaming PC too. Man the one game I’m willing to shell out thousands for and I might not even be able to lol.

[celest blaze]

Stalker 2 will come I'm not worried about that tbh

Besides it's nice to have multi thousand dollar pc for every other game out there

[untold salmon]

pc will last you longer than a console

[gaunt island]

Yeah no doubt, but I REALLY wanted the physical ultimate edition.

[celest blaze]

I'm sure they will bring back

[gaunt island]

It’s also 5x more expensive lol

[untold salmon]

you get what you pay for

[celest blaze]

^

I spent about 3500ish on mine and it will last me many years

[dense hatch]

y'all need to be laptop pilled

[gaunt island]

Good news is I can get two digital ultimate editions for half the cost of the physical ultimate edition

[untold salmon]

i spent less than a grand on mine and it'll probably last me for 2 or 3 years

[tender torrent]

The crisis is very deep at the Physical ultimate edition

[celest blaze]

Based

[untold salmon]

gpu prices have gone down you can get a 3060ti for a couple hundred

[gaunt island]

Aside from the physical edition woes does anyone else worry the game might have been scoped back? Didn’t they originally say it would take like 300 hours to 100% the game?

[celest blaze]

I wish I waited lol I bought my gpu at the peak as I got sick of console gaming

[untold salmon]

nah with delays like this there wouldnt be a loss of scope

[celest blaze]

No tbh

[hollow hull]

Wasnt it like 50 hours?

[tender torrent]

these are delays like any gigantic game due to unforeseen bugs, a bit logical given the scale of the game

[hollow hull]

As long as the game is semi open world and has emissions im good

[gloomy knoll]

And the engine Swap ontop

[proven shadow]

As long as the game has bread it will be good.

Ultimate guide

[gloomy knoll]

What

[solid cosmos]

Which faction should I play as. I already have a Monolithian and a Mercenary playthrough going, I wanna do something that isn't Loner cause I end up doing them a lot lol.

[flint moth]

Do harem run.

Go as loner, get female companion one of every faction that can have female stalkers. Hip should be easy for loner female.

Monolith you need to essentially save scum when you hurt them enough they fall down, but they explode when you go near them, so you repeat until when they surrender and you convert them to join you,

You basically need to down everyone.

Even factions you're friendly with, prepare for a lot of save loading.

[indigo marsh]

[solid cosmos]

Any suggestion other than this guy's, please.

[indigo marsh]

Do a duty or freedom run

[dense hatch]

duty

easy run, low stress, high fun

[indigo marsh]

Or a military one if you want to be enemies with most factions instead of all factions

[dense hatch]

good gear too

[solid cosmos]

Hrm... Military might be fun, yeah, but I might do duty so when I go to Rostok for anything I won't have to kill half the population there lmao.

[dense hatch]

yeah, duty is a simple faction to play even compared to freedom

you have full access to the south part of the zone and easier access to the north compared to loner

[flint moth]

weak

[hazy helm]

what are you playing

[dense hatch]

bet it's anomaly

or legends returns maybe

[solid cosmos]

Call of the zone with some mods ontop.

I do have legends returns and a file for old world addon for anomaly, but I don't really like anomaly.

[dense hatch]

nice

I need to play call of the zone fully

I've been playing goldsphere and it's good when it isn't combat

[solid cosmos]

Merc playthrough is on Cotz with Rhons' repack ontop of it and some extras.
Monolithian is on Old world addon for Anomaly
Now I got a duty playthrough for Call of the old zone and I'll make a military for legends returns..

GG GSC, could you really please finish S2. Im busy dying here and would like to get a playthrough in before i go.

You are forgiven btw

[umbral rune]

Did that Chinese article release yet?

[loud gate]

I think they will come next week.

[umbral rune]

Thanks mozi

[finite dragon]

Dann so pre-orders are getting cancelled now? This game just has more and more red flags pop in

[loud gate]

This is the fault of the stores.

[solid cosmos]

Physical ones I think, though I've only heard of one guy losing his. My digital preorder is still going.

[loud gate]

Of course, not all stores are having these issues. GSC is contantly working with their partners, and more news to be shed on Physical editions to be shared soon.

[earnest forum]

Didn't they also add more to the phys one like a box or something

[loud gate]

PR Speech 10/10, bye, bye

[flint moth]

ALLOW ME TO SAY THIS ONE TIME
COMPLAINING ABOUT A PRE ORDER
IS LIKE COMPLAINING YOUR BITCOIN DIDN'T GET YOU PROFIT

A PRE ORDER IS AN INVESTMENT.

[finite dragon]

I haven’t even had the chance to pre order the game lol. I’ve been subscribed to the email notifications for over a year now. Not a peep from GSC

[flint moth]

Don't pre order. Don't invest in stocks. Don't gamble.

[finite dragon]

My local retailer has had it as “temporarily out of stock” since it was put on the web

[dense hatch]

LET'S GO GAMBLING!

[finite dragon]

People are gonna pre order a product no matter how many people complain about it. It’s annoying but it’s what it is

[flint moth]

aw, FEGELEIN
aw, FARAHRT
aw, WANKSTAIN
aw, DAS WAR EIN BEFEHL

[flint moth]

^

[earnest forum]

Wait why not stocks like stable ones

[finite dragon]

Sometimes you win at gambling

[dense hatch]

most of the time you get boned

[naive fog]

Nuh uh I gotta get good shtuff from

[finite dragon]

Oh true lol. I’ve pre ordered a collectors edition once and the game was a 10/10 so I’m using that as hopium. Armored Core 6 my beloved

[naive fog]

And kvass

[dense hatch]

people just need to stop complaining when they're obviously being punished by the universe for gambling

[earnest forum]

Armored core our beloved

13 goddamn years from verdict day

[finite dragon]

Oh monolith please grant us Armored core VI 2 electric boogaloo

[solid cosmos]

Either the game releases and is fun or it's not and I donated my ultimate edition preorder money to a Ukrainian company that brought me joy for almost 20 years.

[earnest forum]

I want AC2 but modern

[fluid abyss]

huh? I thought it was only certain stores

[finite dragon]

ACVI was my first AC game haha. Although I’m an avid ace combat fan so it clicked immediately

[solid cosmos]

AC was so good

[finite dragon]

Apparently it’s all over

[solid cosmos]

I didn't pick up 6 cause from what I watched it was basically darksouls but with armored cores

[earnest forum]

6 is more darksoulsy but still good AC game

[flint moth]

Someone got the extra chromosome

[finite dragon]

If you’ve played Ace Combat it’s just that but with stamina bars. Play it. It’s absolutely amazing

ACVI was my GOTY for 2023 and easily for the past couple years

[solid cosmos]

If I wanted to play Ace Combat then I'd go play that. I want to play armored core

[naive fog]

I got the extra kvass, I have like 4.1 litres rn

[worn oar]

Digital pre-orders can not be canceled without you wanting that. However, the physical ones are all relying on stocks, and since it's limited, cancelation is expected.

[finite dragon]

They felt similar to me as a newbie to Armored Core. Very similar structure and style. But the customisation was mind blowing

[solid cosmos]

Yeah that's what I figured.

[solid cosmos]

I'll probably grab it on sale at some point

[worn oar]

I don't have information on the matter, so I can't say anything other than that.

[solid cosmos]

Entirely fair

[finite dragon]

100% go for it. It’s a 10/10 from someone who’s never played the franchise and absolutely adored it. My one criticism was not enough parts

[earnest forum]

Ye it's def worth it's price but moreso on sale, sales are a good reason in my book to try things

[worn oar]

The rest is NDA

[finite dragon]

I paid £200 odd for the Collectors Edition and got my moneys worth tenfold

[static compass]

I hope, me want backpack

[earnest forum]

Me want backpack too

[finite dragon]

I was gonna get the backpack edition but considering the jump from collectors to ultimate was £200 for a backpack and a lantern really put me off haha

[flint moth]

gets pulled over by cops for larping

[solid cosmos]

I've been playing AC since the second one. I'll have to do more investigation on it. From my friends who have also played AC from the begining, but were fans of Dark souls and stuff as well, they mentioned it felt a lot like dark souls during boss fights and that's not what I recall from the older games. I hate souls likes so lol.

[finite dragon]

I’ve played souls and honestly everyone who says it’s like souls is talking out of their ass. It’s a fast paced mecha game with a stamina bar

[static compass]

Troo, but Stalker no has merch store, so I'll take what I can get

[earnest forum]

It's a little soulsy with some of the bosses

[finite dragon]

Considering as well it’s made by Yamamura (Sekiro’s director) rather than Miyazaki distances it even further from souls

[earnest forum]

Specifically the uh ai core with the missiles belt

[finite dragon]

Real. Can always support your local cosplay or sewing shop though

[nimble cipher]

welsh04 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[earnest forum]

Haha bad word

[static compass]

Wolf go brrrr

[solid cosmos]

Like I said, if it hits on a deep sale I'll grab it. Otherwise I can wait.

[earnest forum]

Fair

[finite dragon]

Thanks wolf

[solid cosmos]

R/n I'm not buying new games or things until my situation improves a little lol

[finite dragon]

If STALKER 2 flops I’m gonna need a whole lot more hopium to wait for a Ace Combat 8 announcement

[solid cosmos]

and by time the winter sales hit it'll probably be on sale then.

[finite dragon]

Please Bandai it’s been 5 years since 7. Give us a bone

[static compass]

Stalker fan patiently waits 15 years

[solid cosmos]

If Bandai and Koei weren't cowards they'd re-release the Dynasty Warrior gundam games on PC

Or just in general re-release them

[finite dragon]

Metro fan waiting 5 years for a VR game to come out before the next main title

[dense hatch]

still waiting for fallout 5

[solid cosmos]

Still waiting for way of the samurai 5...

[finite dragon]

Gotta get Elder Scrolls out the door first. That’s gonna be another good year or so

[solid cosmos]

I'm realizing I like games with loads of jank

[earnest forum]

Reasonable

[finite dragon]

I’m still waiting on a new Splinter Cell, but clearly Ubisoft thinks that franchise is better buried

[dense hatch]

sometimes

dead is better

[earnest forum]

They need to make jjba asb 2 not the one they released

[finite dragon]

Especially with Ubisoft’s “talent” on it. I’m dreading the remake. Plus there’s no way the remake isn’t cancelled by now. Was announced 3 years ago

Ubisoft STALKER dlc when GSC

[earnest forum]

Rereleased

[fluid abyss]

On what sites? Which countries? I’m in USA and haven’t seen any updates on mine yet. (Game-legends)

[static compass]

I understood that reference

[solid cosmos]

What was wrong with ASBR? I imported the original ASB and then bought it again when it came to the states in like 2015 or so. I was thrilled with ASBR when they released it a few years ago.

I guess the online was messed up, but I never played those games to play them online.

[earnest forum]

Honestly, just two things. They need to fix some of the charas violent looping abuse and add some more charas so I guess they could just do that with R

And yeah fix the online

[solid cosmos]

They added a BUNCH of characters to R

[earnest forum]

They added like 5

[solid cosmos]

A few from eyes of heaven and a few that weren't in either game.

[dense hatch]

nice pfp

[earnest forum]

They need to add more steel ball charas damnit

[solid cosmos]

They added 17 characters

[earnest forum]

No?

[solid cosmos]

Yes lmao
