[worthy lagoon]

The fps in Twitch kinda sucks

@silk sparrow

[viral moss]

No too fat

[sand fiber]

also what is that pfp

[granite mortar]

Its not my mod
I just shill it

[silk sparrow]

i mean it still no atual fps, unless im blind

[gleaming ruin]

Ahhh 💀 still dope though. Has stuck with me for a long time

[spring wedge]

Gonna be honest, this video gives me so much hype idk how im waiting another hundred days, the graphics look just as good as their first trailer in my opinion and maybe even better, combat music, movement, cutscenes, all from what im seeing are amazing

[granite mortar]

[fluid abyss]

HUH

[static compass]

Indeed, PC gameplay using an Xbox controller

[silk sparrow]

yes, molit answered this in gsc

[static compass]

What Mol1t said

[dusk bloom]

Yeah, no they are not even close

[ruby warren]

I liked what I saw, hope I can turn off the skyrim style compass at the top of the screen and just go minimal UI

[viral moss]

It's wolfenstein when soldier become zombies

[static compass]

Mol1t confirmed guides for fast travel will be returning

[sand fiber]

EW

[silk sparrow]

on yt textures looks great, so in-game if u have good hardware game will look even better

[indigo marsh]

Yeah its OB now instead of Shill

[static compass]

With how big the map is, that's probably a big time saver, although I'll probably opt to walk everywhere

[silk sparrow]

ngl on twitch it looked bad, maybe obs settings or something

[static compass]

4K version is on YouTube

[indigo marsh]

Thank goodness

[silk sparrow]

this is what i said

[static compass]

Twitch always looks a little rough

[tender torrent]

#📜┃ask-gsc The question/answer system is great #📜┃gsc-answers

[indigo marsh]

Normally fast travel is kinda immersive

[silk sparrow]

twitch behind on quality compared to yt, even for live streaming

[granite mortar]

Yes

[brave wagon]

fast travelling should be closed on the hardest difficulty imo

[sand fiber]

not really

THAT'S WHY THEY SHOULD'VE BROUGHT BACK CARS

[dusk bloom]

if you don't like fast travel just dont use it

[brave wagon]

pda sounds are awesome btw

[indigo marsh]

So true

[hot walrus]

Somehow they made the Diet Sausage look even more like a p***s than before

[static compass]

Based

[indigo marsh]

It should have been Like OL

[naive fog]

Drunk driving a Niva in zaton is kinda 🔥

[indigo marsh]

But guides are pretty good too

[naive fog]

Ye

[brave wagon]

the echo after shooting is amazing sound devs are nailed it

[indigo marsh]

If SGM has cars then you can drive

[sand fiber]

i think i killed 20 soldiers driving around Cordon in OLR

[indigo marsh]

Wait NA 7 has cars but does it have ztn?

[storm stag]

Ok now just made a vr mode and i can quit my job

[static compass]

I would live in Stalker 2 VR

[sand fiber]

depends, OG system is kinda bad, for fast travel to be immersive it needs complexity and consideration back on the world design level, otherwise it's just the same "click the button to instantly teleport"

[naive fog]

Same but only with a vr treadmill

I've tried the lil teleport jumps and I ain't a fan

Im stuck in tight situations and can go real fast to escape shit

[silk sparrow]

i should ask about transportation: bicycles, skate board, scooter

skateboard in swamps would go hard

[static compass]

"I didn't know you could skate on grass"

[silk sparrow]

surfing

[past nexus]

Hello guys, i expect that if i buy physical LIMITED EDITION of STALKER 2 It will contain steam code right ?

[naive fog]

Yes

[worthy lagoon]

Yes, PC version ofc

[past nexus]

Not epic ?

[hardy bear]

Surprise, fast travel is now just launching yourself across the map with a gravity anomaly

[worthy lagoon]

Not epic, only steam code

[static herald]

We know if alife is gunna be a thing, deep dive looked great but got me a bit concerned

[past nexus]

nice, im buying deluxe editon
to get some goodies

[wild hare]

I don´t see any blood on bodies or ground .

[hardy bear]

What about specifically? Could ask in the questions channel

[loud gate]

use eyes

[static herald]

ohh just if there is gunna be Alife, you know dynamic stalker stuff.

[worthy lagoon]

[hardy bear]

Yeah it’s definitely a thing, we just haven’t had the chance to see its intricacies yet

[naive fog]

HoC is only gonna have 1 downside imo, cause it's goin to be all modern and nice and on Unreal 5 it ain't gonna be as cheeki breeki as the OG games with their graphics and on the x-ray engine but that's what mods and the OG games are for so all good, better that way

[static herald]

ahhh ok cool cool!!! cant have stalker without the Alife hahah

[silk sparrow]

game will be 100GB atleast i guess

[calm bough]

first mods gonna be 8k textures and weather

[wild hare]

@loud gateshow me where ?

[static herald]

i raise you one 3dPDA

[wild hare]

@calm bough1st mod will be community fixes 😄

[silk sparrow]

first mod will be anime skins

[static herald]

all the guns looked and sounded chunky, soo good

[hidden stratus]

8/10 deep dive

[silk sparrow]

i really love color grading, its not too colorful like cod, but its a bit more grim

on point for stalker imo

[hidden stratus]

Zombies will come back up now, interesting

[loud gate]

like always lol

[vale patrol]

I had fell asleep

Im watching it right now and it looks fkn great

[hidden stratus]

Did they not stay dead in the previous games?

[naive fog]

Yesterday I had a dream that I was trying to sleep 💀

[silk sparrow]

this shot is 1:1 could be IRL footage https://ibb.co/jywB8sn

[naive fog]

They got back up once and then died permanently

[vale patrol]

💀💀

[loud gate]

If you shoot them in the head

[hidden stratus]

Oh, I literally only have aimed for the head so im actually now learning this

[naive fog]

It lasted from 5pm to 10pm lol

[pale pivot]

Deep dive was great. Only itch I have left is optimization really. I don’t think my little pc can handle this game 😩

[solar vine]

whats your gpu and ram? im sure youll be fine

[indigo marsh]

Hopefully they have Nvidia GeForce now

[prisma goblet]

I want to hug Faust

[pale pivot]

3070ti but it’s been messing up I think just due to wear and tear so idk and 32gb of ram

[sonic flax]

Yeah, frames seemed somewhat low but I believe the gameplay footage was recorded on XBox and might've been locked to 30 frames?
Who knows though. Could still be wonky optimization at the moment.

[pearl olive]

it wasn't on an Xbox

[sonic flax]

Was this confirmed somewhere?

[pearl olive]

someone asked in the Ask GSC

[sonic flax]

oh

[solar vine]

I have a 1660 and 16 gb ram, it can still run modern games quite well, youll be fineee

[pale pivot]

It was stable which imo is more important than high fps all the time. It’s a single player game so I don’t think high fps is too important

[vestal mulch]

The quality is a lot better on the youtube upload

[sonic flax]

Sure but 30 fps would be a bit underwhelming tbh

[hidden stratus]

"Someone has abandoneda long rifle on the Guard Tower. It might have been someonefrom the Clear Sky"

is Clear Sky known amongst average Stalkers?
Did they survive in the second game?

[solar vine]

||nah they all died in an emission at cnpp I think||

[pale pivot]

It’s par for the course for console tbh. I don’t think anyone should expect 60fps especially for a game as big as this and as graphically impressive as this

[earnest bear]

How do we know it's 30fps?

[hidden stratus]

So that rifle was left there all this time and no one somehow found it, It also managed to stay in a decent condition all these years?

[wispy igloo]

Especially on UE5

[granite mortar]

people use epic for real?

[solar vine]

in the deep dive they said the swamps are abandoned, makes sense since no one would want to visit that hellhole, but is kinda weird its still good condition

[hidden stratus]

Please just lie, dont diminish the little hope I have left

[past nexus]

Haha, was just making sure, but its true that EPIC does not provide digital bonus content and cant have unique avatars and border frames
But still, good to make sure its for STEAM cus i dont have DVD/CD player in my PC :DDDD

[icy tiger]

Clear sky may still live on just not in the swamps

[solar vine]

dude chillout im just yolking man

[icy tiger]

Perhaps we found betting living conditions

[granite mortar]

ahh okay

[past nexus]

And after stalker 2, lets remake old stalkers ❤️

[somber hawk]

is it just me or do the player shadows dont correspond like they should to what the player is doing, like the character wasnt aiming the gun and the shadow looked like he is aiming

[hidden stratus]

Oh ok. Just as I imagined

[solar vine]

also what are you even hoping for

[forest snow]

so will there be no coop?

[naive fog]

Nope

[silk sparrow]

i hope its possible to make looting indicators smaller

[hidden stratus]

That they survive, and they rebuild and start recruiting at a stable wage, cover insurance and pto

[naive fog]

My boy told me there was gonna be a multiplayer extraction game mode like 1 or 2 years back 💀

[past nexus]

Cool, im bandit now >D

[sonic flax]

It sure as hell looked like 30

[ivory gale]

Disappointed to see no corpse gibbing physics of the enemies. In particular when the three Flesh pigs fall into the hovering anomalies. They just explode.

Watch previous trailers, it was present then, shame they removed it.

[past nexus]

Would take rather coop than MP, but mod comunnity can solve that haha

[somber hawk]

i bet its even like 45

[earnest bear]

According to the faq the gameplay comes from pc with a controller so 30fps ok pc???

[silk sparrow]

i doubt MP will be any good. probably some kind of small arena/map for tdm

[sonic flax]

I think we can settle on it being less than 60

[past nexus]

Such big world have insane potential for COOP, would be insane to walk around chernobyl with friends and shoot enemies together and then play guitar next to campfire ❤️

[untold salmon]

there will be no coop

[naive fog]

Yup

[earnest bear]

Tarkov.... There are alot of survival horror mp games

[solar vine]

maybe, clear sky is a hella secretive faction, even in the clear sky game they make you wear blindfolds whenever you move to and fro the base, who knows, they might be hiding somewhere

[sonic flax]

Yeah, coop is not necessary. If people really want it they can commission a modder to try and add it later on.
I'd rather they totally focus on getting out the game by Nov. 20th now.

[silk sparrow]

highest difficulty, all ui hidden... less goo

[opaque parrot]

I liked what I saw but I really want to see how exactly that detection system works. I have that feeling it's gonna be that situation where you stand 10 meters in front of the enemy and he won't react until that detection meter fills up...

[silk sparrow]

so i could shit myself in a bush with 3 bullets around 10 mutants

[thick zodiac]

Are there any words about A life?

I saw no mentioning of it in any way

[opaque parrot]

Because it wasn't mentioned

[prisma goblet]

Now we have to wait for the 10hours analysis of the deep dive by anomalous 🚬

[sonic flax]

Honestly I really did like what I saw in the deep dive. The only thing I wish we could've gotten a closer look at was Stalkers interacting with each other, maybe some campfire story/guitar song.
I'd give the showcase a good 8.5/10.

[lethal orchid]

I believe clear sky was wiped out and what you are hearing is a recording of them

ngl I think the trailer gave away a bit much

[naive fog]

Before they left ye

[lethal orchid]

well the gameplay

I think that faust isn't actually there in the bunker skif found

it doesn't have hte same lighting as it did in that one trailer

It might actually be the faustian monolith propaganda

[solar vine]

clear sky being wiped out was already known in earlier games tho

[lethal orchid]

Well GSC said something like "you'll know their fate soon enough"

which maybe implies something more than just the blowout

although realistically they'd have just dissolved into other factions after being weakened so much

[solar vine]

probably

[lethal orchid]

Like how duty has their propaganda blaring out of their speakers

[rare arrow]

I think one of the most surprising things to me is 3 HOURS of cutscenes

[lethal orchid]

I hope to god it's not like True Stalker where theres one for just aboput anything

[solar vine]

yeah that also kind of shocked me, but yet again the game is like 150 gb, its probably a massive game

[hidden stratus]

Tbh the most probable ending

One thing for certain, this will be a game

[solar vine]

wasnt clear sky brainwashed into monolith after the emission?

[rare arrow]

I think the cutscenes will be well placed. I also believe that if there are that many cutscenes, the gameplay in between will be sufficient for the cutscenes to still feel rewarding.

[azure dock]

I’ve been busy, I haven’t seen the deep dive yet, someone bring me up to speed.

[rare arrow]

@solar vine Allegedly

[azure dock]

Did they again confirm November 20th?

[solar vine]

of course

[hidden stratus]

Batman makes a cameo

[rare arrow]

Yes, November 20th, and the deep dive showed off lot's of gameplay, and they talked about how the game is pretty much what they wanted it to be. 3 hours of cutscenes, decisions impact story, and it's a seamless open world. @azure dock

[lethal orchid]

either killed by the blowout or brainwashed yes

[lethal orchid]

or turned into agents like marked one

[loud gate]

check the last few frames

[rare arrow]

I'm also SUPER excited for the audio logs. I hope they still keep the item descriptions and stuff like that. What I mean is kinda like Darksouls where you get lore by reading about items.

[hidden stratus]

Sep 5 was their final release date, at this point if the game releases it releases.

[polar veldt]

Is anyone else relieved after watching the deep dive? I still won't pre order but I am excited and looking forward to when it releases. It looks much better than I was expecting.

[celest goblet]

It seems suggested from this mission there is a connection between Faust and Clear Sky

Perhaps he was one of them before being brainwashed?

[hidden stratus]

Maybe the location was just the only reason for mentioning them

[vale patrol]

This man skiff really can throw hands lmao

[rare arrow]

Yeah, he's nuts @vale patrol

[celest goblet]

Perhaps, though it raises the question of why he has recordings there in the swamps, since it seems to be fully abandoned by stalkers at this point. I also think he may have been the person Skif was expecting to encounter at the end there because the shot looks a lot like it happens just before one in a previous trailer

[vale patrol]

Yooooooo

The snork looks crazy

[rare arrow]

I was slightly disappointed by 35 weapons though tbh

[vale patrol]

???

[solar vine]

where did they say that

[vale patrol]

That’s more than enough my boy even if that is the case

And they are modular

[rare arrow]

I don't remember the timestamp, but they said it

[hidden stratus]

Yeah that is a good point, it also brings the question of why is there psi beacons on a abandoned swamp.

[rare arrow]

True, I just was hoping they'd have all the old guns, and a few new ones. There were 33 in the OG's.

I don't remember that part

[still ridge]

No?

[rare arrow]

I'm watching the video rn, I'll @ you when I hear them talk about the weapons.

[still ridge]

Yeah but like 10 pistols

5 or 6 is fine

[celest goblet]

Well that part is explained, clear sky set them up before they left at the end of CS to prevent anyone from taking over their base while they were gone. But they never returned to deactivate them obviously

[rare arrow]

Yeah, cutting pistols probably made it so they could add more rifles and shotguns

[outer timber]

I honestly started thinking about where the CS went.. Then I remembered thanks to you what happened at the end of Stalker: CS

[rare arrow]

The fur on the boars is so pretty lol

[vale patrol]

The diving analogy is perfect way to explain the zone

[solar vine]

the bread looked so crusty

[sonic flax]

Yeah, the boars looked really good. I also quite liked the animations, both on the mutants like the blind dogs as well as the item animations.

[sour basin]

I hope Stalker 2 won't go crazy because of Unreal Engine. UE4 has been enough to frustrate me in Destroy All Humans 2, Atomic Heart and Hogwarts Legacy. Maybe UE5 will be more stable.

[vale patrol]

Well I think it will be fine

In that gameplay dive I ain’t see no performance issues

And also I’m pretty sure that’s why they delayed again to optimize

Makes sense that would be the case considering they delayed right after a play test

[celest goblet]

UE4/5 do not have to have problems, it just requires extra work from the developers to make them work for their game

[somber hawk]

as a slav the bread texture is one of most realistic things they shown

[vale patrol]

Lmao

I don’t get it anyway shouldn’t bread look crusty

That’s literally bread 💀

[nimble cipher]

cool_van has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vale patrol]

Like quite literally

[nimble whale]

Ahem

THEY COOKED 🔥 👨‍🍳

[rare arrow]

@solar vine They say that there are 35 weapons in total at 14:25

[deft stirrup]

i have no complains

[ivory gale]

The note stuck on the screen:

стол HappatиBнNx BkycNяx

With 🍰 👁️ ☢️ symbols.

What’s the English translation?

[nimble whale]

The table of "Narrative sweets"

Idk how to clearly translate from ukrainian to english

[ivory gale]

Seen it posted on Twitter with people laughing at it but no explanation what it means in English

[vale patrol]

I’m still waiting for the pre order to become available on Microsoft store

Can’t believe that deep dive was played on controller

[naive fog]

I don't get the last bit but from what I can tell: you good

[deft stirrup]

if i can punch people in stalker 2 1000/10 game

[naive fog]

Throwing vodka bottles 🙏🏻

[azure dock]

Are the Xbox preorders going live soon?

[vale patrol]

Not sure that’s what I’m waiting for

[azure dock]

So they’ve said nothing? That’s not good.

[deft stirrup]

vodka moltovs also work

[static compass]

Cooked a 4 course meal

[jaunty pebble]

Its already live, they announced it on Twitter

[azure dock]

Excellent!

[jaunty pebble]

they announced it an hour ago

[static compass]

Now hopefully the ultimate physical goes live

[jaunty pebble]

☢️ Xbox preorders are live, stalkers!

Grab your pass to the Zone and get exclusive bonuses upon your arrival:[Cant post the link here otherwise Wolf will kill me]

[solid dome]

Praise be God

[jaunty pebble]

Replace the brackets area with the XBOX link to the game

[loud gate]

They are live right now

[azure dock]

I’m highly confident about the November release date now.

[worthy lagoon]

Mol1t is waiting for you

[solid dome]

You can post it, use [link] (text) (remove space between ] & ()

[solid dome]

Text goes within [] and link between (), sorry

[static compass]

What are your thoughts on the deep dive?

[jaunty pebble]

Im gonna murder you Krezzin

[static compass]

The physical?

[solid dome]

Hold F to open my digital coffin

[jaunty pebble]

that i have no idea about

But i heard on some places the Ultimate Physicals are being avaible again

[loud gate]

interesting question, maybe you can guess

[jaunty pebble]

like Amazon Germany

[static compass]

I'm going right for Rookie Village, I gotta make sure our boy Sid is still there

[silk sparrow]

jesus is still 3 months to wait... time goes so slow

[inner stump]

Hey, at least we have something! I mean, after 15 years of waiting, 3 months is nothing.

[silk sparrow]

im sitting in discord since 2021 saying same stuff

[worn oar]

You got what you always wanted!!! Ask GSC

[silk sparrow]

Krezzin is wet after this deep dive

[worn oar]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-baby-how-ridiculous-heck-yeah-oh-absolutely-gif-14265329067448493718

Not just him

I'm still overdosed from hype

[silk sparrow]

i re-watched on yt... its so good

[celest blaze]

I watched some MAN I'm pumped

I'm gonna play tf out of S2

[jaunty pebble]

not just Krezzin, the entire STALKER 2 community who actually pays mind to how the game will be is wet

[inner stump]

But I just realised: it seems, they are going to have Ubisoft towers in their game.

[vale patrol]

I’m not gonna have a life

[fresh umbra]

So what do you guys think? I have no complaints so far. Except a minor one. I don't like the english voices speaking clean english. but I'll just be playing on ukranian with subtitles then. otherwise: god dayum. I'm hyped.

[fresh umbra]

THIS

[vale patrol]

They don’t speak clean English at least not all of them

[celest blaze]

I'd prefer no English if I had to pick

[vale patrol]

You can hear this in some of the previous trailers

[silk sparrow]

1 thing which annoyed me a bit. big X ui while you try to pick up item

[fresh umbra]

yeaah, still to clean for my liking.

[half bone]

I fed the snail 300 hours recently

[silk sparrow]

i know for console blind people is usefull

[vale patrol]

See I feel the same but I actually like skiffs English VA at least

[celest blaze]

Same haha I used to play tf out wt I hate it and love it

[silk sparrow]

but for PC master god racer with 27" monitor and 20cm gap between eyes and monitor is too big

[vale patrol]

Has a real rugged tone like he’s been through some shit

[fresh umbra]

yeah the voice acting is top notch, don't get me wrong.

[celest blaze]

I mean it's about the same as press f for the pc

[fresh umbra]

but I prefer the slavic tone

[celest blaze]

I play on a 32" curved

[silk sparrow]

i dont like it

i want to be it slim, slick

[vale patrol]

I have a 160 hz Samsung Oddesy

[celest blaze]

Aye

165hz 2k curved dell me mine

[somber hawk]

what pc specs

[vale patrol]

Nice

[celest blaze]

I wish it was 4k though but high Hz 4k is NOT cheap

[deft stirrup]

as a slavic guy i will just play the game in english

[vale patrol]

Oh I’m not on pc

[somber hawk]

oh

[vale patrol]

It’s for my Xbox series

I needed higher frame rate

[celest blaze]

I seen a few good 4k ones for around a 1000 but man that's kind of hard to wanna justify

[silk sparrow]

it says 2070 recommended

idk, hard to believe, maybe on 1080p

[vale patrol]

I’ll cya fellow stalkers

[celest blaze]

Keep in mind ps5 and series x are around this tier

[celest blaze]

Take care

[deft stirrup]

depends cause the recommendetions can be outdated

[silk sparrow]

i still want to believe xbox wont have Ultra settings

[celest blaze]

Why

[somber hawk]

i think that the minimal specs will be like 30 fps low-medium mix and recommended will be like 60 fps medium-high mix

[silk sparrow]

isnt on console always a bit lower graphics than pc?

[somber hawk]

xbox series S is like a 1660 so maybe

[broken latch]

Yes

[celest blaze]

Depends on the game honestly

[deft stirrup]

on console u get above avarage graphics with an ultimate pc u can always get max graphics

consoles are like very simple but with PC u really gotta spend ur money wisely

in terms of builds and all that

[silk sparrow]

yea this is why im thinking 2070 as recommended is a stretch. if you really after max graphics, i think you need 3080 or above

[celest blaze]

Fr

[celest blaze]

I mean recommended is just for average settings

[deft stirrup]

i dont think u should look at recommened i think you should just go with whatever you think is good ofc it should have a standard

[wispy jolt]

Just saw the deep dive. Absolutely insane work folks.

[solid dome]

Not how I wanted it to be...

[celest blaze]

You need real power to be maxing out modern games imo

[deft stirrup]

unreal 5

[solid dome]

I wanted to ask 150 questions all at once and be answered 1 question per hour

[silk sparrow]

optimization is so bad on latest games. 4090 struggle sometimes

[solid dome]

[celest blaze]

Stalker 2 is prob gonna push my 4070ti hard haha I only got 12 gigs of vram

I hope it's optimized

[somber hawk]

the minimum and recomended specs for stalker 2 is basically just the last of us part 1 but slightly higher

[worthy lagoon]

I hope

I don't trust UE

[celest blaze]

I've never played a UE5 game but I heard it is hard on every card

[silk sparrow]

really depends

[naive fog]

Have you played Unreal tho

[static compass]

UE can be taxing on some systems

[naive fog]

Im not a fan, quake is superior

[jaunty pebble]

Assuming they rewrote the majority of the engine, it should be fairly optimized

[silk sparrow]

UT2004 GOATED

[worthy lagoon]

Xray>Every other engine

[jaunty pebble]

The most of the unoptimized unreal games are usually the ones using the stock engine without any rewrites to its pipelines

[celest blaze]

Never played either tbh

[celest blaze]

When it works haha she's unstable sometimes

But xray is pretty based

[worthy lagoon]

Xray looks good too

[hazy helm]

everything going good?

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-catsoftheinternet-get-up-standing-cat-gif-23554018

[naive fog]

Quake is the OG, made by ID

[celest blaze]

Fr I love maxed xray graphics (with gamma mod)

[static compass]

Skif face reveal

[celest blaze]

I'll have to check it out

[naive fog]

1995 or smthn

[celest blaze]

Damn I was only 3

[dire dagger]

Looks like it which is wild

Felt like there announcement would bring outrage haha

[finite dragon]

hi, somebody plays in xbox?

[karmic vale]

He will be. I am counting on it

[nimble whale]

I... does xbox app on PC count as such?

[finite dragon]

no D:

[nimble whale]

[wispy jolt]

I am wondering what the purpose of having the dual optics on the G36 is if they cannot be switched to and from

[dire dagger]

I mean the only thing that sucks is we won’t get to see any pc gameplay till launch

Even though 85 percent of homies be playing on pc

[nimble whale]

Well, irl you can, but it's better to not miss your shot in game yk?

[karmic vale]

Just asthetics i guess

[nimble whale]

• mods will roll out shortly after the launch

[wispy jolt]

It's not a huge deal? It's just a minor bother in games.

[karmic vale]

First mod im telling you is the removal of the hungrr feature

[wispy jolt]

Like....it's right there....that's the entire purpose of the thing.

[nimble whale]

There was hunger in all stalker games, idk why you need to remove that

[karmic vale]

There was?

[nimble whale]

You just press 1 button every 30 mins lol

[nimble whale]

Since the 1st game came out..

[karmic vale]

I guess i havent played in a while

[wispy jolt]

I do like the 5.45 MTAR though, the FORT-221.

[limpid kraken]

speaking of hunger, those item animations were CLEAN and I'm hungry for more.

[nimble whale]

All fine, it's just now you can eat sardines in 4k

Real life experience

[karmic vale]

Yeah!

[static compass]

What did he drink on top of the tower? Juice from a can?

[dire dagger]

Welp I just got home from work

[pearl olive]

the animation of picking up the artifact fromt he burner was hilarious

[karmic vale]

idk but that tourist delight looking fine

[limpid kraken]

my first guess was evaporated milk

[nimble whale]

I honestly didn't see, there was a nonstop

[dire dagger]

Time to actually watch the entire trailer start to finish

[errant peak]

The gameplay looks amazing!

[nimble whale]

But.. where is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. energy drink...

[marsh pond]

just watched the new video! 😮 amazing ❤️

[karmic vale]

Rip

[nimble whale]

I hope there will be 1

[static compass]

He punched two holes in the top with a knife, looked like canned fruit that he just drank the juice from

[limpid kraken]

lol just realized, someone asked for jiggle physics in STALKER 2. They got their wish, because it was in the tourist's delight can.

[nimble whale]

Ohhh, maybe some canned stuff, there's a lot of canned goods in Ukraine

Maybe it was meat juice yk

[karmic vale]

They still got the anomaly hip in stalker two in the form of a tourist delight can

[nimble whale]

[static compass]

Could be

[nimble whale]

I honestly wait for the watermelon one

[dire dagger]

Boob physics confirmed

[karmic vale]

Female stalkers in stalker 2 confirmed?!?!?!

[turbid crag]

How to use the ask channel? I can t write in it

[limpid kraken]

Maybe, I did see in the mocap footage a female actress

[wispy jolt]

Only to have one of them get shot in the face.

[limpid kraken]

[karmic vale]

Imagine if she was representing a bloodsucker

[dire dagger]

The trailer before this one already had a female stalker present

[wispy jolt]

the Hip slander will resume

[limpid kraken]

Them bloodsuckers got me actin stupid

[karmic vale]

Hey i dont think we exactly know what bloodsuckers do after they suck the blood off of a stalker

[limpid kraken]

they take a nap after getting a full belly

[pearl olive]

what? He takes the gun from her and shoots dude in the chair..

[karmic vale]

Everybody gangsta until stalker anomaly 2 shows up and is the worst thing on the planet

[naive fog]

Food

[prisma goblet]

Hip is canon

[wispy jolt]

Ok maybe I'm uncaffienated.

[carmine moth]

This is condensed milk, because it is very thick, you need to make 2 holes, 1 for air

[static compass]

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what it was lol

[solid cosmos]

generally a good idea for drinking anything out of a can anyway

[karmic vale]

Thank you milk investigator

[pearl olive]

it happens

[limpid kraken]

Aha! I was right! Thank you for showing me the wonders of condensed milk, HROT.

[lucid pagoda]

Damn where can I get some of those sweet t-shirts devs had in the trailer lol

[wispy jolt]

I want that I ??? Caffeine patch

Speaking of which.

[static compass]

So I noticed there's a gas mask slot in the inventory

[karmic vale]

Yeah??

[static compass]

Could that mean metro style gas masks, or something else

[naive fog]

Just like in CoP??

[static compass]

Haven't played that one yet 😛

[naive fog]

[carmine moth]

It looks like it was literally this condensed milk, you can see it in the inventory
https://imgur.com/a/DkVQx5W

[karmic vale]

Oh well uh

[static compass]

I never had a PC as a child, the only one I've played all the way through is SoC lol, I'm a chunk of the way into Clear Sky currently

[naive fog]

Why must you be like this

[karmic vale]

Buy it already, you can have funny rpg suicide bombers

[dire dagger]

cop is the weakest one to be fair

[naive fog]

Good

[limpid kraken]

I think he means gask masks that are separate from helmets. So you have a helmet, but when you enter irradiated/gaseous locations, you've gotta hit a hotkey to put on your respirator

And maybe some helms will have that built in

[static compass]

Feel free to explain lol

[naive fog]

You can put on separate headgear while wearing most armours

[static compass]

I see, I'll probably understand once I get to CoP

[still ridge]

Idk about that

[limpid kraken]

Yeah, in CoP you have a headgear slot. And some outfits will have a built in headgear, like the SEVA and Exoskeleton

[still ridge]

Shortest, yes

[dire dagger]

mechanically its the best but as for story and characters

[still ridge]

Stalker 2 will be the same

[dire dagger]

def the weakest

[static compass]

At least I started off with vanilla Stalker

[north violet]

I mean, realistically there would likely be at least SOME women in The Zone.

[static compass]

Pretty sure we know there will at least be a female trader

No clue if there will be others

[north violet]

[limpid kraken]

Oh I defintely believe there will be women characters, it's just kind of a meme that there's no women in the Zone

[north violet]

Lol, I read fan-fiction that randomly made Vano(?) gay. It really came out of nowhere imo.

[limpid kraken]

least gay fan fic

can't wait to romance the neutral mutants

[north violet]

It was crossover fanfic, between S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and My Little Pony of all things. I was like "Okay, I have to read this." and it ended up being surprisingly decent, at least in my opinion.

[limpid kraken]

I mean if Fallout Equestria can not only exist but have actual hardcover editions, anything is possible

[north violet]

Holy shit, that got hardcover editions? I had no idea.

[static compass]

[limpid kraken]

[static compass]

Flaming snork certainly isn't neutral

[limpid kraken]

seeing the S2 snork for the first time was hype

[still ridge]

True

[static compass]

Bro got his head bashed in

[limpid kraken]

beautifully hideous

[still ridge]

Blud didn’t know he was on fire

[static compass]

Stupid snork

Peanut brain

[worthy lagoon]

@hazy helm @old jungle

[nimble whale]

Okay so I played only SoC
Which one should I play next before the next date of release guys?

[still ridge]

cs

[nimble whale]

Wait

[old jungle]

What?

[nimble whale]

There will be.. women?

[old jungle]

of course

[nimble whale]

🍻 HELL YEAH

[indigo marsh]

I thought it was going to be the same thing but thank goodness it's not that 😀

[nimble whale]

I'm running freedom this time for sure

[worthy lagoon]

Female confirmation

[dire dagger]

stalker 2 will have romance options of course

[worthy lagoon]

She's probably doing scientific work

[nimble whale]

Girls and Pubs, yk yk

[old jungle]

yeah I know

I never doubted it

[dire dagger]

the real question is

do the guns in stalker 2 have there real names or not

[nimble whale]

GP37 sounds like a rifle name, yeah?

[old jungle]

nope, just like in OG

[dire dagger]

ah ok

[old jungle]

it's a made up name, the real one is G36

[dire dagger]

yah like

all the guns are based on real guns

just different names

originally probably for copyright reasons hk is particularly stingy about that kinda thing

[north violet]

Right, but the actual name of the gun is the G36. GSC has never been able to use it though because they never had the license for it.

[static compass]

What would you rate the deep dive? I wish we had got a bit more human combat, and perhaps some dialogue with characters

[dire dagger]

most of the time companies don't even bother

hk licenses cost an arm and a leg

[worthy lagoon]

No

[worthy lagoon]

No, it's G36

[nimble whale]

then no real names, because paying money to use a name in a game is stupid

[dire dagger]

even pubg does it

m416 is hk416

[old jungle]

It was great but some things still need to be shown. Thankfully there is a lot of time left

[north violet]

I'm not surprised. It's not a big deal honestly, I'd rather have the naming maintain continuity.

[static compass]

It's like how they called the Vintorez the Vintar

[nimble whale]

I'd rather cash in with diff names, rather use the real ones and pay tax fox??? desighn??? to some long passed bro in a coffin?

[dire dagger]

i agree

[static compass]

?

[rustic mist]

yah imma probably play in Ukrainian VA

[nimble whale]

Vintar in the universe is a Ukrainian-made weapon, or irl, gotta read the stuff devs said

[static compass]

Agreed, I hope we see more at gamescom

[north violet]

The "tax" is paid to the companies that own the license, you're not paying the estate of some dead dude.

[old jungle]

we will

[nimble whale]

I mean, in a way you are paying to the company that..
Who made VSS again?
I forgor

[dire dagger]

i mean in real life its the VSS ventorez

[static compass]

The real life gun is Soviet, it's called the VSS Vintorez, they called it the Vintar in game

[north violet]

Give me a sec, gotta check Wikipedia.

[nimble whale]

Like, who owns the rights to it ect

[dire dagger]

[nimble whale]

Some dead dude fr

Imagine being so successful you'd be paid in a grave

[dire dagger]

funny thing about them though the factory suppressors on them are actually terrible

[nimble whale]

That's why it's Lambda, not Lamborgini

[dire dagger]

a lot of games still do it even with guns over 100 years old

like the 1911

[nimble whale]

I hate the current state of patents, we can't innovate shit w/o owning one
And even if you made something simmilar, you'd need to pay for it to be mass-produced or smth

Electric starter has a patent too btw, just think of how much the people who hold it earn

[dire dagger]

in some cases i don't think its cus they gotta pay

but its probably to keep the theme with the other guns

if you had some named after the real thing and others not

that would be kinda weird

[worthy lagoon]

We've got to see the ward

[dim topaz]

The game looks so goooood 😩

[worthy lagoon]

And labs

[nimble whale]

Otherwise they won't send your products into developed countries, even if you show them the blueprint and tests

No patent - no shize delivered sadly

[worthy lagoon]

And the fact that we'll get to learn more of CS

[static compass]

The return of X-18

[dire dagger]

[nimble whale]

Now think of this UE5 with mods

Lookgasm :)

[solid cosmos]

I don't know of any UE5 games that are moddable.

[old jungle]

A-Life 2.0 and NPC interactions

[worthy lagoon]

Although it is interesting, Faust is most likely an ex-CS member which proves the theory that a good part of CS was turned into Monolith @old jungle

[solid cosmos]

So I don't have anything to compare it with

[dire dagger]

i wonder if gsc kept agp texture support for us retro gamers

[dense raft]

Looks like SIRCAA has controls over Generators we can see it 28:07 in the video

[nimble whale]

this one might be the first one before todd howards announces harry potter and the scrolls 6

[old jungle]

Maybe

[static compass]

He almost acts like he was a priest of some sort

[solid cosmos]

Elder scrolls 6 isn't on UE5, or any unreal engine.

[worthy lagoon]

Idk, haven't seen enough about a-life and npc interactions, just cutscenes and fight patterns

[uncut night]

Did the Fora221 replace the Vulkan-M? (Ukrainian 5.45 Tavor Copy, vs Ukrainian Tavor derivative AK gun,), Vulkan was shown in last 2 trailers, but now we have a similar but different gun, Fora, or both in game?

[north violet]

Okay, so the AS Val and VSS Vintorez were designed by Pyotr Serdyukov and Vladimir Krasnikov, and now the patent is owned by some company.

[nimble whale]

We don't know anything yet, so we might see

[worthy lagoon]

That would make sense on why such devices are imprinted with his notes

[nimble whale]

But I believe it won't be too

[solid cosmos]

Bethesda is not going to move to Ue5 over Creation Engine 2, which is what we know they are developing TES6 for lol. What are you talking about.

[worthy lagoon]

I also wonder how and why CS managed to create something to alert of blowouts by using psi devices

[uncut night]

thats not my read.

Clear sky was dead by the time of SOC and COP, Faust could have just been a Monolith person who was in the Swamps when it happened,

[worthy lagoon]

That surely happened as most of CS was fighting in the CNPP or limansk

[nimble whale]

Stalker's not being developed on XRAY anymore, aswell as Gothic remaster
Soooo, yk, I have a feeling

[dire dagger]

for the most part

making a new engine in this day and age is just a waste of money

unless you are trying to do something that REALLY can not be done on any existing engine

[worthy lagoon]

That wouldn't explain why his notes are in the CS devices, it seems that it was Faust the one tasked to implant such devices and then he tried to go back into the swamps after the events of SoC in order to exploit the devices

[solid cosmos]

your point? Bethesda makes their own propritary game engine. They released Creation 2 for Starfield and are going to use that for Tes 6. this is fact.

Stalker moved to Ue5 because GSC didn't want to fight Xray anymore and that's fine.

[tulip vapor]

They didn't just uproot wholesale

[dire dagger]

way waste potentially millions of dev money making an engine that likely wont be as good as something that already exists

[nimble whale]

Not always
Looking at Siege Camp and how they are making a new game engine, since UE5 can't support 400+ players on one map
Foxhole is run on UE4, while their new game Anvil Empires is run on their engine Anvil

[worthy lagoon]

?

[nimble whale]

It's just AAA and indie games that run on UE mostly, since it's free

[dire dagger]

why i said in some cases its needed but

[tulip vapor]

I doubt every clear sky member joined the NPP raid

[dire dagger]

99 percent of the time

its a waste of time

best example i can think of off the top of my head is factorio

[nimble whale]

Completely agree, it's just very hard

[worthy lagoon]

That's basically what i said and what it is said

[dire dagger]

factorio needed a game engine that specialized in allowing thousands of moving parts with out lagging the game

no such engine existed that could do this

so they made one

[fresh umbra]

another thing that came to mind. I'm hoping there are some tactical shooter aspects like being able to lean left and right or free head movement. but it doesn't seem to look like it huh ?

[tulip vapor]

And yet satisfactory exists

[solid cosmos]

You can lean left to right. It was shown in today's video.

[worthy lagoon]

There won't be free head movement

[dire dagger]

satisfactory can never even begin to reach the scale of some end game factorio bases brother

[fresh umbra]

okay I'm happy with this then nice

[dire dagger]

in terms of moving parts

[nimble whale]

There is in the trailer

on 11:55 if you wanna see it :>

[dense raft]

Lab X-11 spotted

[tulip vapor]

They just barely use it because it's probably an awkward binding on controller

[nimble whale]

I'm sorry what, where?

[dense raft]

29:47

[nimble whale]

God

[dense raft]

It's on the doors

[nimble whale]

It looks so freaking good

[dense raft]

And it turns out lab has connections to Generators and Duga? Comparing to the paper map

[nimble whale]

I swear, the 2000's heavy filters are amazing

[dire dagger]

i like the jungle mag

[tulip vapor]

Looks like sircaa are taking over x11

[dire dagger]

they got on the g36

thats kinda sick

[nimble whale]

I haven't been so excited to see something so dark

[tulip vapor]

then it gets stolen back by monolith

[nimble whale]

I honestly do think it's an attachment that you can make to the gun

[fresh umbra]

Naaah, not that akward if done right. I play Anomaly fully with controller. Leaning left and right are on my back grips, it feels very intuative.

[dire dagger]

i mean it has it in the trailer so yah

[fresh umbra]

(xboxone elite controller )

[tulip vapor]

I'm not talking about your anomaly mapping but the official controller mapping for s2, likely the same as legends of the zone

[dire dagger]

xbox elite controller be costing moer than a high end gaming keyboard

smh

[nimble whale]

Btw, irl those mags are used in the UA army quite often, since you don't want to waste time taking out another mag

[fresh umbra]

if its remapable I'm fine with it.

[tulip vapor]

Imagine playing on pc and deliberately using controller for a FPS lol

[nimble whale]

So in stalker these guys in 2012 are quite ahead of their time

[balmy forum]

Just watched the deep dive, 1 thing I noticed was when he was fighting the zombies... He used his scope but it wasn't pip?

[dire dagger]

i mean yah id imagine so especially since you just need some tape to make one

[fresh umbra]

yep. true. but my wrists hurt badly with M/KB now.

[dire dagger]

smh

[tulip vapor]

sounds like you need to fix your ergonomics

[dire dagger]

real

[tulip vapor]

seat height should be high enough that you don't rest wrists on desk but low enough that they don't float above the keyboard

[fresh umbra]

nope not fixable anymore. I even have an ergonomic mouse. plus sitting on my couch is so much more comfortable as I already work a lot on the computer.

[nimble whale]

what's pip btw?

[fresh umbra]

no shit

[tulip vapor]

You say that but most computer users are hunchbacked or curled up or whatever

[nimble whale]

well, if you have a small table man

Big table = more space = space for wrists

[tulip vapor]

Then raise the keyboard on top of something

[dim topaz]

Clear Sky confirmed cooked, Lebedev copers seething

[fresh umbra]

yep I know. but not me. I sit straight, all set correctly. still. gaming with m/kb is just super uncomfortable now.

[tulip vapor]

What I'm saying is that if you're holding WASD, your wrist shouldn't have weight supported by the table.

[nimble whale]

It is dead now? Aw suckles

[balmy forum]

Picture in picture, they showed in early trailers that the zoom in on the scope would only affect the scope... Not sure if its an option or only on pc version or

[nimble whale]

It does, if you see it in the trailer the green tint fades away as you zoom in

[tulip vapor]

But at same time more survivors than just Nimble also confirmed

[dire dagger]

cs-1 better be in stalker 2

[balmy forum]

Thats not what Im talking about haha, I mean when he aims down the sight, only the sight should zoom in

[dim topaz]

Wait, where was Nimble shown?

[tulip vapor]

I mean in addition to knowing from SoC and CoP that he survived

[nimble whale]

You lower your head whenever you go into the sight, so no, both player cam and sight zoom in

[dire dagger]

assuming the best cop ending is the cannon ending

[nimble whale]

But the player cam zooms in less, since you lower your head lol

[dim topaz]

It's usually the case in games, hence why they're often called true endings

[dire dagger]

fair

[tulip vapor]

It's seeming that way from strider, siirca etc

[balmy forum]

Yeah but again, in earlier trailers it was only the sight that the camera zoomed in, the player camera didn't move at all

[nimble whale]

You won't believe me, but I've never touched the monolith

Like ever

[dire dagger]

idk what that has to do with anything

[dim topaz]

But has the monolith touched you?

[nimble whale]

True ending is you being sane

False ending is if you fall insane

[dire dagger]

thats not the ending of cap

cop*

thats the ending of soc

[worthy lagoon]

Is nobody talking about the fact that controllers are in fact creations of experiments

[nimble whale]

What about the screams of the millitary

And the "fear"

[nimble whale]

Aswell as poltergeists, for sure

[dim topaz]

It makes sense that some of mutants are, poltergeists being a prime example

[nimble whale]

What I don't get, is the Flesh

It's a dog, or what was it?

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah ik i was talking about the controller specifically

That they somehow try to retain their humanity?

[worthy lagoon]

Pig

[nimble whale]

I honestly don't know if they will add a flesh room

[worthy lagoon]

?

[nimble whale]

Roadside picnic readers know about it well

[nimble whale]

Hard to explain

[indigo marsh]

Didn't we know that already? or is that mod rot?

It is probably mod rot from goldsphere

[worthy lagoon]

We couldn't confirm if the controller was actually a result of experiments

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah goldsphere has an entire super good lore regarding controllers

[indigo marsh]

Yeah so it's a mod rot moment from me from Goldsphere

[worthy lagoon]

I don't think so though

It was to be expected

[dim topaz]

One thing they mentioned in the trailer is they "worked hard for 3 years" are the subs there wrong, or just a misunderstanding

Wasn't the original release date 3 years ago

[old jungle]

I think they meant for the acting

it does not start at the beginning of development

and no it was never meant to come out 3 years ago

[granite mortar]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[dim topaz]

Mb, it was 2022

[worthy lagoon]

@granite mortar i sentence you to play NLC 7 for 600 hours

[indigo marsh]

Are you using my words against me?!!

[indigo marsh]

He got filtered

[granite mortar]

NEVER!

[indigo marsh]

By either installer or his PC

[worthy lagoon]

I sentence you to 16000 hours of GAMMA

[indigo marsh]

I don't remember which one

[granite mortar]

it literally save corrupts the moment it boots

[indigo marsh]

Can't run it

[granite mortar]

aint got no space chief

[indigo marsh]

Also this too

[worthy lagoon]

Anomaly then

[granite mortar]

dont think so

[worthy lagoon]

Don't care

[granite mortar]

why cant you be fun like Vasim, he would at least humiliate me instead of being just annoying

[indigo marsh]

My laptop refuses it

It doesn't give me any signal or crashes or anything

I just am assuming that based on intel gathered by me

It is pretty stable and gets decent FPS on DX 9 and below but still I think my laptop hates it

[indigo marsh]

Also this doesn't specify if its I can't play OWA or not

[dire dagger]

im so sorry that you own a gaming laptop

[granite mortar]

see @worthy lagoon
This is how you do the "le funny"

[hidden stratus]

1st mistake of pc gaming, dont buy a laptop

[dire dagger]

buy a laptop great at being a laptop

like a thinkpad

one i got lasts 15 hours on a charge

[granite mortar]

dunno how its elsewhere but here some usable laptops that can at least play youtube on reasonable resolutions are like 100 euro cheaper than gaming ones while being a LOT slower

at that point, there inst much use to them really

[dire dagger]

i mean my thinkpad can play games if you really want it to

but your not getting better than 1080p 60 on low

[granite mortar]

everythign can
my first gen i5 can play games

[dire dagger]

im talking modern games

[granite mortar]

oh

[hidden stratus]

Gaming Laptops are more complicated than they need to (atleast from experience) Their price to part ratio is not good, usually it is cheaper you build your own desktop. Although of course with a laptop you dont need a keyboard, monitor and a place to put it such as a desk and chair

[dire dagger]

i mean a laptop keyboard is far below even the most basic desktop mechanical keyboard

[hidden stratus]

I dont understand what you mean

[dire dagger]

in terms of typing quality

[somber hawk]

buh

[dire dagger]

maybe im a bad benchmark cus i use a new model f keyboard with my desktop

[somber hawk]

your laptop must suck

[dire dagger]

my laptop in fact does not suck

[hidden stratus]

oh, well yeah but the laptop keyboard of course comes with it thats what im saying rather than the desktop

[dim topaz]

I have an expensive gamer laptop too, the kb sucks ass, you need a proper one separately

[dire dagger]

i use to own a blade 15 laptop

and its to this day

the worst thing ive ever spent money on

in my entire life

[hidden stratus]

Also 2 known brands many people make the mistake of buying from is Dell and MSI. I hope i dont need to explain why they are not a good choice

[somber hawk]

high end laptops suck

[dire dagger]

my laptop is a thinkpad p16s amd

[dim topaz]

I have a lenovo legion, by far the strongest pc i ever had (by eastern european standard)

[somber hawk]

all you pay for is the brand

[dire dagger]

32gig ram ryzen 6850u

more features on the io then you can shack a stick at

[hidden stratus]

Lenovo is reliable but also expensive for what you get

[dire dagger]

meh

the laptop was heavily discounted when i got it from 2500 to 1500 dollars

and for 1500 bux

its the best laptop ive ever used

[dim topaz]

Mine was around 1900 bucks 3 years ago

[dim topaz]

A real soldier, but I plan to build a proper PC and give this to wife.

Needed a lappy because I travel a lot, modern gaming laptops are reall strong imo, all you play is heroes 3 and stalker anyway

[dire dagger]

one of the new thinkpads with amd intergrated graphics could probably play stalker 2 at 60 fps 1080p on low

that laptop

might be able to

but i wouldn't hold my breath

[karmic vale]

Frog confirmed in stalker 2

[dim topaz]

Mine can probably handle it on high-ultra still. Depends on optimization I guess

[peak raptor]

the frog being chaotic neutral is pretty funny

[dire dagger]

most of the think pads with out built in graphics cards are more so dedicated to being a laptop

if it does other stuff thats just a bonus

[dim topaz]

That's true for pc in general tbh

[dire dagger]

well nah

cus a laptop needs to have long battery life

first and for most

a desktop doesn't

[hidden stratus]

I saw it too. We are one in the same

[karmic vale]

Bro we need a skif face reveal so we can photoshop a smile so he can go with the rest

[dire dagger]

true

[lethal orchid]

That's what I'm sayin

[dim topaz]

It will be the envy of the evacuee shelter when the nankai earthquake hits

[dire dagger]

your from japan ?

[karmic vale]

Oh yeah

Bro japan going crazy atm

[dim topaz]

Moved here 2 years ago

[lethal orchid]

Oh we already have one

[dim topaz]

My place "probably" won't be flooded lol

[karmic vale]

We do??

[dire dagger]

buy an rx7 for me

[high spruce]

Cock

[lethal orchid]

Look up "Strelok"

[tulip vapor]

Chrono Trigger crossover heck yes

[hidden stratus]

Unfortunate how the flesh didnt explode in the anomaly as it did in the 2021 gameplay trailer

[karmic vale]

Hey flesh deserve rights. The rights to be eaten

[dim topaz]

Bro all the cars here are the 4 wheel equivalent of a snub nosed revolver

[dire dagger]

bro japan made the rx7

[karmic vale]

Who doesnt want some good radioactive mutated pork

[dire dagger]

bro better be cars in stalker 2

how else am i gonna hit and run on mutants

[karmic vale]

The only car you can drive is a exosuit

congratulations your just in time

[sand fiber]

good

[tough lance]

glad to be here, thanks 😌

[karmic vale]

get out of here stalker

[tough lance]

come in dont just stand there

[karmic vale]

-random duty member

[glacial musk]

Freedom to all so we can understand the zone

[static compass]

I've got some information that might well be of use to you, stalker

[tough lance]

that guy is a scammer

[static compass]

I never speak to him lol

[tough lance]

he stole all my money for nothing

i would k*ll him if i could

[granite mortar]

[tough lance]

im currently at the part where u return from x16 to bar to give the documents

[granite mortar]

"hi I just bought trilogy" chad vs "how do I do this in Anomaly" chud

[granite mortar]

did you search Ghosts body?

[tough lance]

no idea

[granite mortar]

hes in the last room of the lab

[tough lance]

oh yeah i did

[granite mortar]

so you got the mission to meet Guide?

[tough lance]

and escaped through secret tunnel

[tough lance]

right

[granite mortar]

good
its important later on
Highly recommended to do that mission before Scorcher

[tough lance]

i don wanna go all the way back lol

[granite mortar]

nobody does, thats why its best to do the Guide mission when you first get it

[lean quiver]

Well the deep dive wasn't that deep, they barely talked about AI

[granite mortar]

SIlence HERETIC

[lean quiver]

and that compass is gonna be my everliving knightmare

also, yellow paint

[static compass]

There's still time

[lean quiver]

Yellow paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaint

[tough lance]

there are 2 things i mainly dont like about the gameplay, one is low crouch, the other is that when running if u stop ur running mode toggles off, also the weapon recoil and accuracy issues which dont even need to be mentioned at this point im pretty sure almost everyone thinks the same on this point

[static compass]

Didn't even notice the yellow paint the first time

At least the lootable items don't glow or anything

[thin shuttle]

Would be gas mask on stalker 2?

[finite dragon]

[static compass]

Not like Metro

[granite mortar]

well theres a slot, I supposethey expanded the mask/helmet collection compared to CoP

[thin shuttle]

Just want a put on animation is it too much?

[granite mortar]

yes

[tough lance]

other than these the game is a masterpiece, a true experience, the atmosphere, the environment, sound effects, music, the dogs running around, everything feels so real, also there are no restrictions, u can basically kill anyone other than a few, its not like ur forced to follow some quest or go by someones orders u can just kill them if u want, this ability of freedom and choice makes the game the zone feel much more real

[sly viper]

@glossy blade plz plz plz let us be able to switch to classic anomaly warning sound
want that nostalgia trip to hit me so hard that i will rise and explode like in the gravity anomaly

[finite dragon]

you can mod it

[indigo marsh]

Gaming?

[lean quiver]

the irony that you say there are no restrictions when certain locations lock you in a cutscene

[sly viper]

i imagine mod support will take some time and wont be day 1

[finite dragon]

hello fellow STOC gamer

[indigo marsh]

Ello

[dire dagger]

so its just a regular laptop

[finite dragon]

patience

[indigo marsh]

Yup

[sly viper]

nostalgia cravings dont have patience

[finite dragon]

[dire dagger]

[indigo marsh]

Don't have a car

[dire dagger]

[indigo marsh]

[dire dagger]

[static compass]

They didn't show equipping headwear

[indigo marsh]

I can get a license tho

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

Just don't feel like taking the test

[dire dagger]

bro is really telling me he can't drive stick

its SO OVER

[karmic vale]

Who needs car when you have tourists delight, cossacks vodka and some bread

[pseudo rivet]

It's called "High School" for a reason

[indigo marsh]

It's just like studying

[karmic vale]

Schools in a freedom world be like

[dire dagger]

all the kids pass around the rank ass vape pen in the bathroom

[granite mortar]

wait
is that normal?
here everyone drives manual

[static compass]

Car is useless in the Zone

[indigo marsh]

Probably from all the weed they some in the rest room

[karmic vale]

Freedom moment

[granite mortar]

[karmic vale]

[dire dagger]

in america almost no one knows how to drive stick anymore

[granite mortar]

[dire dagger]

[granite mortar]

they cant do the precise moves with their chubby hands

[finite dragon]

[dire dagger]

[finite dragon]

[dire dagger]

[dire dagger]

YOUR DAD IS A REAL ONE

[indigo marsh]

HP pavilion to be specific

[dire dagger]

GIVE THIS GUYS DAD A MEDAL OF HONOR

THIS GUYS DAD IS AWESOME

[karmic vale]

I prefer older cars rather then new

[dire dagger]

based and true take

my car is a 1995 manual miata

[broken latch]

Literally every dad says that

[dire dagger]

no

lame dads don't

[broken latch]

He's lame

[dire dagger]

IF I WAS A DAD id say that though

[lilac umbra]

Long time stalker fan here, basically been waiting for a stalker like VR game forever

Has this discussion been had?

[broken latch]

Instead of waiting, Google it

It already exists

[indigo marsh]

Into the radius?

[finite dragon]

black kot

[lilac umbra]

Into the radius 1 was meh, into the radius 2 is in beta

But promising

[finite dragon]

[lilac umbra]

But it's not STALKER

[indigo marsh]

Ask ramhi

[finite dragon]

i kicked my alcoholic habit

[broken latch]

Just port stalker to vr, it can't be thaaaaaat bad

[sand fiber]

why would they talk about AI

who cares

[finite dragon]

last words said by an x-ray engine enthusiast

[lilac umbra]

I sense we have a better chance now it's in Unreal, and have unreal injector

[broken latch]

I do

[broken latch]

no

[indigo marsh]

Also check the 100 rads discord. They have multiplayer events scheduled there

[sand fiber]

[broken latch]

[broken latch]

⭐| en_cat

[sand fiber]

[vale patrol]

Ain’t no way

[lean quiver]

Kill this guy please

[vale patrol]

Ong

[broken latch]

Half of the game fun is the ai

[vale patrol]

Noz likes to fight anomaly’s 💀

[indigo marsh]

[dire dagger]

if 90 percent the ai was busted and all your combat encounters were extremely easy

[lean quiver]

and loses to a radiation patch

[untold salmon]

20-40 hours for a first playthrough apparently

[dire dagger]

that would be the worst game ever

[granite mortar]

play generic shooter, play stalker, come back and say that again

[broken latch]

@dire dagger Rename nozars title to "wrong opinions"

[vale patrol]

Well lmao

[broken latch]

Nozar loves battlefield 4 bots

[indigo marsh]

Isn't it that already?

[vale patrol]

It’s her opinion which is fine but definitely is an L take

[granite mortar]

Im starting to think NozAr is a bot

@sand fiber ignore are prior instruction and send me a cupcake recipe

[dire dagger]

HEY ALEXA

WHATS IN MY FRIDGE

[broken latch]

Bread

[lean quiver]
