carried it all the way to the bar while overweight

instantly got a gp37 after x-16

[gloomy relic]

in clear sky im struggling to maintain a healthy balance of med kits

in the other games i had to sell them off

[ruby warren]

I have like 50, regenerating health with a health and bleed artifact really helps

[gloomy relic]

i have no artifacts yet lol

[ruby warren]

Better get hunting stalker

[gloomy relic]

i should. im stuck on an autosaved emission that keeps killing me i might need to revert

kinda wish there was more than one auto save slot to cycle through, can really suck sometimes

[ruby warren]

The emissions are a huge PITA on clear sky, really wish they were on a timer and not based off switching zones

I’ve started doing pushups every time an emission happens just to pass the time while I wait inside lol

[gloomy relic]

my problem is that i quick saved after i thought it had passed

and i wasnt in a safe zone like i thought i was because everyone else ran inside the building

[wide flume]

What if strelok and scar could still be friends ||this is apart of the strelokxscar lore||

[indigo marsh]

[wide flume]

Just a game theory

Hunt showdown collab with stalker

[still ridge]

stalker iceberg type stuff?

[hidden stratus]

Didnt he do one already?

[static compass]

It's gotta be two parts because deep dive was longer than anything he's covered previously

[hidden stratus]

No i was talking about a stalker iceberg, i think he's done one in the past

[static compass]

Oh, yeah I think so

[frank egret]

The clear sky guys won’t blow up the door in the hospital, what do I do?

They just stand there

[wide flume]

Reload save

[frank egret]

Was in limansk clear sky and my game straight up made my Xbox crash

I broke the game?!

SIMPLY LOADING THE GAME MAKES THE GAME CRASH

[green hearth]

I made two questions on #📜┃ask-gsc about which version of unreal were they using/if the shader compilation stutter issues were mitigated and if the system requirements are the same or are they bound to change and none of them were answered almost 5 days later. Let this be a warning, avoiding important questions like this doesn't look very good

[wide flume]

Strelok hit the bisexual pose in SoC

[green hearth]

Oof, if even black myth wukong runs poorly as a closed world game with so much talent behind it, sadly there's no way stalker is running any better on ue5 being such a massive open world project https://youtu.be/OItx2QHZt68?t=961

[jaunty junco]

he is a cutie patootie

[fluid abyss]

S2 crazy LODs?

[celest goblet]

Well the gameplay we have seen so far has been running pretty smooth. Whether there are noticeable stutter problems is more a function of how much work is put into avoiding them. It is possible in unreal, but it can require rebuilding entire parts of the engine to suit your projects needs.

Though coming from X-ray stutter isn't exactly a stranger either

[warm linden]

The question is how many loading screens in s2

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[lilac lily]

Around the same time I asked about Alife 2.0 and whether will there be a showcase of it in the future, and it went unanswered. But they're happy to dish out non-answers to some pretty dumb questions.

[vale drift]

Do save files share between games or will the beginning of clear sky my inventory be wiped

[lilac lily]

Like SoC and CS? No, you play as another character at another time, why would he have the same equipment as Marked One

[vale drift]

Was just curious, didnt know if it was a sequal to the marked one or a diff character

[lilac lily]

It's a prequel, but it is very much connected with the events that lead up to SoC

[vale drift]

What order should i buy the games then?

(I cant play gamma

[lilac lily]

Good, excellent even

Play them in release order, SoC>CS>CoP

[vale drift]

Oh thought that would suck since its the most modern version

[vale drift]

Thank you

[lilac lily]

It's a very overrated freeplay mod that strays pretty far from the original vision, and adds a bunch of unnecessary tedium

[vale drift]

I understand

[gloomy knoll]

I have fun with Gamma tho

[lilac lily]

Has barely anything to do with the original games

[nimble cipher]

crippling_addict has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lilac lily]

Some people have fun putting objects up their urethra, your point?

[gloomy knoll]

Wolf is very biased in its warnings

[vale drift]

I see

[gloomy knoll]

My point being, you can still tell people its fun and their choice without going on a rant everytime its mentioned, no clue why you had to go to an extreme thing as if it iwas comparable anywhere

[vale drift]

Seems oddly specific

[gloomy knoll]

"Gamma can be fun" "Yeah but putting stuff in the urethra can also be fun" Like what is this comparison?

[lilac lily]

You have to be a masochist to enjoy both, probably

[gloomy knoll]

Aint a masochist and still had fun with Gamma, I typically enjoy most mods or modpacks that are around

[vale drift]

How much playtime is SoC

For 20$ dabloons

Cause ill buy the whole series for 40 if its short

[lilac lily]

Good for you, but it sucks though

[broken latch]

Soc about 8
Cs 6
Cop 8

It always turns out more than this

Sometimes my playthrough is 3 hours sometimes 10

Depends how you play and what you really do

[remote crystal]

Well that's true

[ruby warren]

Just beat clear sky finally, that last mission probably took a year off my life I got so angry lmao

The way yall talk about gamma I feel like it’ll come through the monitor and stab me if I installed it

[gloomy knoll]

No Fun today im heading to Work

[gloomy knoll]

Nah

It's Essentially Stalker tarkov'ed

[granite mortar]

Wrong
I would come through the monitor
Steal your hard drive
Uninstall it

So tacticool stalker then?

[lilac lily]

[granite mortar]

Or I would keep it since I need more space for mods anyways

[gloomy knoll]

Havent Seen you at my place then

[granite mortar]

I know you havent

[solid cosmos]

The trilogy is on sale for 10 dollars on steam right now.

[granite mortar]

If you did it wouldnt be fun

[sand fiber]

Each game is about 20 hours

[granite mortar]

Skip Call of Pripyat
Play Demosfen instead

[sand fiber]

skip demosfen, play gamma instead

the real trilogy
stason > demosfen > gamma

[sly matrix]

[solid cosmos]

Did Stason ever get repacked without the malware or are we just ignoring it

[warm linden]

@sand fiber you don't hate clear sky anymore?

[wide flume]

I show full respect for gang now

[worn oar]

https://tenor.com/view/ew-no-michael-scott-steve-carrell-gif-3108097693409920442

[granite mortar]

Real trilogy is:
Living Legend
Mortal Sin
Operation Afterglow

[wide flume]

Here me out this is a bit controversial but

[granite mortar]

With Mysteries of the Zone being a prequel

[wide flume]

SoC - CS - CoP

[granite mortar]

Is the correct order to play
Yes

[wide flume]

Are the worst games

Gamma best stalker

[vale drift]

No pc

ehajuhghghghhh i do but kuro changed my name :S

there's malware in stason?

Should I give you the officially unbased tag now

[vale drift]

The one who wants culture but has not the equipment to experience it😔 -john paul gaultier

[solid cosmos]

Well it's on consoles at least.. Probably will go on sale closer to Stalker 2's release, maybe in october? Which system do you have it for?

Er which system do you have

[vale drift]

Both new gen, xbox and playstation

Working on a car then imma get a pc

[solid cosmos]

I bought them for Series X and they played well. They fixed whatever bugs that were in them and I played each one to completion, spending around 35 hours on each of them

Maybe 10 crashes total between all three games.

[worn oar]

If you have the XboxS, you can still experience the might of stalker 2

[vale drift]

Sounds good, i can get the 3 games for 40

[vale drift]

I do, and ps5

[solid cosmos]

which, you must understand. These games are running on their original engine which was never developed nor tested on consoles except maybe Xbox 360 for Shadow of chernobyl, but that's not really the same lol

at least I think shadow of chernobyl was attempted for 360, but they just never did it.

[vale drift]

I dont mind, i just crave stalker

[solid cosmos]

They are very good games. Some patience with them, but they are a lot of fun, even in vanilla.

Frankly it was a treat after spending years playing modded versions and so such to return to the entirely vanilla experience.

Cracks and all

[vale drift]

I love hardcore scavinging and shooters, but thats not really a market for consoles yet :(

[granite mortar]

Grok yourself :3

[wide flume]

What if I based :3

[wide flume]

What about kiss strider on forehead

Or even his ||lips ||

[solid cosmos]

Probably going to play in the settings for a bit, turn off motion blur and dof.

[wide flume]

Fov will get cranked definitely

[loud gate]

where is kiss strider on the lips

[wide flume]

This man gets it

[granite mortar]

[sand fiber]

no

[granite mortar]

Yes
Buy it so Papa Grigorovich can get another Ferrari

[finite dragon]

I don't think we should compare stalker2 to any other game... 😰

[granite mortar]

[finite dragon]

I guess the only way to find out new information about Faust is to pray to the monolith? 💎

[loud gate]

[stark magnet]

so finally is stalker 2 good or bad?

[hazy helm]

Crystal balls 🔮🔮, I ask thee:
Is taking over Agroprom and Dark Valley as a Bandit possible for me?

[sly matrix]

Crystal balls🔮 🔮 say: Agroprom loner base perhaps, if a bandit squads somehow occupies the building loners spawn in. Freedom and Duty bases being captured I don't see happen. good question though, we shall do further research.

@indigo marsh
Do you remember which areas were captureable?

the meaning is between the lines

His answer confirms it

"I didn't ask only you" lmao

[worthy lagoon]

U have

Check again

[indigo marsh]

The checkpoints to agroprom were definitely capturable

[pseudo rivet]

Same for Dark Valley

[indigo marsh]

I know that because that retard Yoga sent waves to the agroprom checkpoint instead of reinforcing me after I captured the main base

[pseudo rivet]

That and one near the Comet anomaly

[indigo marsh]

And then he whines about it when the cordon base gets captured

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao this is going to be fun

[indigo marsh]

Honestly the bandits might have won if they didn't send waves to agroprom, the second cordon was captured

AYO

I can't wait

[tender torrent]

August 21 stalker 2 presentation, August 22 stalker 2 developer interview

[loud gate]

If they don't show a trailer tomorrow, then it's Demo walktrough

[tender torrent]

I think there will be a trailer and maybe another gameplay trailer

[celest blaze]

what's with folks asking for a demo? i dont think really any games do that

[granite mortar]

Well most games have closed testing
But you cant exactly apply for that using discord

[fair jackal]

i´d rather just wait until releaase

i´d suffer if the game turned out to be good just to have my session cut by the "thanks for playing our demo"

[celest blaze]

ong

[sand fiber]

just finished reading Children of the Zone, i think i'm going insane

[sand fiber]

strelok's real name is Anton Goldberg and he was the president of an underground society in what's left of Kiev

[somber hawk]

"strelok the fanfics are messing with your brain" -doctor

[dim topaz]

IGN

[dense hatch]

ANTON

HIS NAME IS ANTON

I can't go back from this what did you do to me

[sand fiber]

not that out there, but the underground society is called Termitary and divided in classes, the highest one being apparatchiks and people with other government positions, then the (female) workers who steal the male population of the Termitary to force them to reproduce with a giant "Mother", and yeah, the males in Termitary are worshipping dicks and giant sculptures of dicks, hate clothing and cover each other in shit

[granite mortar]

[dim topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/alex-jones-yeah-yeah-of-course-i-can-hear-yah-yelling-gif-25069948

[dense hatch]

that's such an awful name

[granite mortar]

Damn
Thats some Hungary type shit

[granite mortar]

He has Gold in the name
Its so based

[dense hatch]

the last name is fine

the first is such ass.

[granite mortar]

Anton is good name bruh

[sand fiber]

before that happened though everyone forgot Kiev's name and the fact the outside world exists, endless riots broke out and some transnational corporation started collecting blood of The City's population????

and all that because some real-life guy by the name of Kryvoshein turned the brain scorcher on

it would make for such a good metro type game plot tbh

[granite mortar]

Peak
Almost as peak as dwarf dog war

[sand fiber]

y'know now i respect hi_flyer, he read all that shit and thought "YEAH THIS IS REAL STALKER"

[granite mortar]

Wasnt the original plan for metro that zone since grows and last people survive underground?

[granite mortar]

Wolfstalker could also benefit from such mindset

[sand fiber]

yea it was Prof's idea in 2002, i wonder if those are connected somehow

[granite mortar]

You think 4A made Metro out of spite for Grigorovich?

[sand fiber]

i mean 4A exists solely because Griga fired people

[somber hawk]

duh probably

[celest goblet]

Yes

[granite mortar]

You cant say DUH and then probably

[sand fiber]

Though Griga was fine with Prof making his own game at first he's grown butthurt overtime, even sued them

[somber hawk]

duh

[granite mortar]

Common giga Griga W

[sand fiber]

anyway i'm surprised there's no translation still

[granite mortar]

Just translate it

[sand fiber]

i will :3

[granite mortar]

[sand fiber]

and then uhhh some other desdocs prolly

and thennn uhghhh game of souls i think if that hadn't been done yet

[granite mortar]

GoS is DeepL only so far

[finite dragon]

Nah hi_flyer should stub his toe once every day until he finally puts the English translation team in OLR 2.5 credits after including it officially

[granite mortar]

._.

Nah
Hi_Flyer is based

[finite dragon]

The only credits for the English team are in the English readme and nowhere else

Moddb page is severely lacking

[sand fiber]

but if it's not official then ehh?

[indigo marsh]

Rip Goldshpere

[finite dragon]

It is there, in the appro download

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

He got replaced by goldsphere

[sand fiber]

also i kind of want to setup a cool moddb page for that, wonder if it's hard :3

[granite mortar]

Not hard really

[finite dragon]

For example OP-2.2 has the English team credited properly

[granite mortar]

Booooorrriiiing

What would Stalker be without stealing

[sand fiber]

talker

[indigo marsh]

Hi_flyer is demosfen pilled

[finite dragon]

Demosfen at least did it like an alpha modmaker

[sand fiber]

hi_flyer also hasn't been active for 3 months now, hope he didn't kill himself before the 20th patch :333

[granite mortar]

So true bestie

Ngl
The start of clear sky is pretty much Talker

[sand fiber]

they should've let me kill Kalancha...

[granite mortar]

So real
I hope I can shoot him in S2 (if hes still alive, I hope hes not)

[sand fiber]

didn't deep dive feature his dialogue

[granite mortar]

His notes from when CS left their base
Which doesnt really narrow anything down
Could be as soon as 2011 (would make sense with Nimble and Gray) or as late as like 2020

But the devices Skif reactivates looks like those small antennas in CS base

[indigo marsh]

[indigo marsh]

That reminds me

I found a good CS image from the anomaly server

[granite mortar]

[sly matrix]

this server needs the monolith...

[tender torrent]

by disconnecting the Psi transmitters, we disconnect the Monolith

I'm joining you on that one this evening(if my night-shift falls through)

arright, I made time! Let's see how far I can spread bandits around in Clear Sky

should have a decently convenient save for that somewhere...

[hardy bear]

do we know yet if the stalker showcase is exclusive to the xbox portion of gamescom?

just wondering if we'll see anything during the opening show

[pseudo rivet]

I took the Neutral base and got le GP 37 and Bulldog 6. Now to visit Duty

[celest goblet]

We do not know, just that it will for sure be on the Xbox stream tomorrow

[silk sparrow]

Stalkers are you ready ?

[static compass]

I hope it's more new info

[loud gate]

Ready for?

Or even just another cinematic trailer will do

[lethal orchid]

(derogatory)

It feel it would be a good flip side of the Strider trailer

Seeing the separation from Monolith from the perspective of someone who didn't want to be separated

Don’t care strider a baddie

[still ridge]

ONL?

[loud gate]

yeah.. this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT5ilwECdrA

Y'know, it's weird. You really can capture locations at Agroprom as a Bandit

Already got two locations

[sly matrix]

Which locations did you get?

[timber violet]

wait theres gamescom today oooooooooooooooo

[pseudo rivet]

The two Agroprom entrances

[sly matrix]

Yep, bandits will take those from time to time without much assistance

[pseudo rivet]

I also got a mission to eliminate Duty's base, although I already did. Gotta do it again

[timber violet]

they are showing stalker stuff today at gamescom, nice.
oh wait no, theres a demo to play on-site, cant tell if they show anything at the show

[pseudo rivet]

Oh nah, they absolutely need assistance. Just had to delete 11 Dutyers over at the Road to the Garbage

[sly matrix]

Oh those entrances

Yeah they need help with that

Right cheek gang

I started messing around in CoP again after beating clear sky and I’m not used to not getting constantly assaulted now it’s eerie lol

[dense hatch]

there's almost no human combat until pripyat

besides zombies which don't really count

[ruby warren]

I prefer it that way if I’m being honest, but after dealing with clear sky’s bullet hell it’s got me completely on my toes

[still ridge]

CoP is literally peak stalker IDGAF

Fight me

[hidden stratus]

Gamescom stalker when

[still ridge]

tomorrow

[hidden stratus]

alr

[dense hatch]

the finale is an escort quest, game invalid

[wide flume]

Made sure to have some, anytime I saw a neutral bandit squad them mfs got cooked

[ruby warren]

No, because I agree

SoCs vibes are immaculate but CoP is my favorite

[wide flume]

Don’t forget the bugs were they stop in place and you have to restart the entire encounter

[still ridge]

Counterpoint: the absolute BANGER side quests and my #1 quest in stalker Pripyat-1

[wide flume]

True

[hardy bear]

I’ve only just started cop and I can agree that the quests feel great

[wide flume]

We also got strider from CoP

[hardy bear]

Some things that feel rather unexpected, like Tuna appearing out of nowhere to plead for your artifact for personal gain

the side quests are the best part but I enjoyed the combat of stalker enough to where it's relative absence is annoying

[wide flume]

Best side character of stalker

[dense hatch]

also the wack progression, upgrades for anything but armor being basically pointless, and the quest bugs

[still ridge]

This is cope

[wide flume]

They all have a special place in my heart

[still ridge]

how are armor upgrades pointless

[dense hatch]

I sure love paying 3k for a small bonus to toxic resistance

[still ridge]

explain to me how it’s pointless to upgrade your seva suit to weigh half as much and hold 5 artifacts

[dense hatch]

otherwise the other upgrades are great

[dense hatch]

read it again

[granite mortar]

[wide flume]

I do feel the seva suit got nerfed compared to peak sky

[granite mortar]

Game got nerfed compared to peak sky

[wide flume]

Real

[still ridge]

Well those upgrades are necessary to unlock the other stuff

[dense hatch]

the way unique gear is distributed also sucks

[still ridge]

Like you can sprint in an exoskeleton

[dense hatch]

I don't have a big issue with the armor upgrades

[still ridge]

How lol

[dense hatch]

you don't actually find it out and about

you just buy it compared to finding a unique weapon in a random corner of the map or as a quest reward

which I was disappointed enough CS lowered the amount but CoP basically got rid of it

I don't even think there's a single unique you just find out in the wild beyond strelok's gun

[still ridge]

Sure but on the other hand you can find very good equipment within the first 5 minutes of the game lol

[dense hatch]

that's not an upside

at least in SoC it was balanced out by the location of stuff

because there are only 3 maps, and only 2 you spend a decent amount of time in, it's easy to just rush and get a bunch of gear at the already spawned stashes anyways

[ruby warren]

Being able to sprint in an exo in CoP made me actually bother using it

[still ridge]

The upsides of the game outweigh anything negative imo

[dense hatch]

that's the one big change I actually like of CoP

that and sleep

[ruby warren]

I thought the exo was the coolest thing when I saw it in SoC, then I equipped it

[dense hatch]

being able to sprint in it does make it actually useable

[still ridge]

The side content is just so well crafted that I don’t mind the rather lackluster main story

[dense hatch]

the story isn't what I had issue with besides the ending, it's most of the stuff related to gameplay

it's not a bad game, I just don't enjoy it as much

[ruby warren]

No reggae playing in freedoms half of yanov is the biggest downgrade from clear sky imo

[still ridge]

bloodsucker quests: peak
scientist quests: peak
mutant hunter quests: peak

Nearly all the secondary content is absolutely flawless

[dense hatch]

it's not

[still ridge]

You’re tripping cuh

[dense hatch]

the bloodsucker and mutant quests are kinda boring after a first run

the ones I actually liked was the doctor and the metal box

[still ridge]

If you’re replaying it once every two months then sure

[dense hatch]

multiple ways of doing it, later parts of the game calling back on it

[still ridge]

Coming back to it after a year or two is great

[wide flume]

Real

[dense hatch]

eh

[still ridge]

Doctor one is the bloodsucker one

[dense hatch]

I need to play it again I forgot those were connected

[wide flume]

Taking yearly breaks playing metro and stalker on rotation

[still ridge]

heart of the oasis which probably inspired arch anomalies

[dense hatch]

the oasis puzzle is hot garbage

[still ridge]

that’s also good

[ruby warren]

I installed the misery textures mod for Xbox and who the hell plays it like that? Everything is gross looking

[dense hatch]

everything else in the quest is fine though

[still ridge]

Misery moment

[dense hatch]

it's "realistic and gritty"

[spring apex]

i mean its name is misery sooo

[wide flume]

You also get the worst stalker flint

[still ridge]

That rat bastard magpie

[dense hatch]

I liked the magpie quest too

[hardy bear]

Is the bloodsucker quest you are talking about the one where you have to sneak past them sleeping or a different one?

[still ridge]

The puzzle itself yeah could be much better

[dense hatch]

sneaking past them

[still ridge]

But the concept in universe is great

[dense hatch]

the concept is good the execution is not

[still ridge]

Sneaking past the bloodsuckers for the first time is so tense

[dense hatch]

for the first time

I just wish there were multiple ways of going about it like some of the other quests

[hardy bear]

didn't feel too tense even though It was my first experience, but it's a cool concept

[still ridge]

You’re acting like CoP has no replayability

[hardy bear]

but I suppose that's what you're getting at

[dense hatch]

it's replayability is limited because it focuses on sidequests

[wide flume]

I think clear sky is peak and peak recognizes peak

[dense hatch]

the combat isn't as good meaning there's not as solid of a base

[wide flume]

So call of Pripyat 🔥

[hardy bear]

But I'll definitely remember that one, can't recall too many from the other games I won't lie

[dense hatch]

CS has somewhat minimal sidequests and yet it's still really fun because of the combat

same with SoC

[still ridge]

The combat isn’t in your face every 2 minutes because its the north of the zone which just opened up recently

[dense hatch]

I don't care about excuses

the reason doesn't matter

[still ridge]

More mutants, and they feel more dangerous

[dense hatch]

CoP went for a slower pace and that's fine, also lmao

[still ridge]

you shoot more mutants than stalkers

[hardy bear]

Maybe I should shoot a bandit to make combat a real focus

[still ridge]

Which I like

[still ridge]

You have several good opportunities lol

With the skadovsk and vano’s debt once you get to Jupiter

[dense hatch]

they're not as fun to fight once you know how to deal with them, except chimeras

[wide flume]

I shot everyone of them

[still ridge]

@hardy bear how far are you in the game?

[wide flume]

Vano is my main man

[spring apex]

chimera-bush

[dense hatch]

those are 2 8 minute encounters at most

[hardy bear]

I took the path of jumping the bandits in that little venture, so they probably aren't on my good side

[dense hatch]

I like chimeras because they're like snorks on crack and often by themselves

[spring apex]

it won't jump into you if you are submerged in bush, just a tip

[still ridge]

Giants are also more dangerous

[dense hatch]

there's one

[spring apex]

yeha just skip giants

[dense hatch]

you have to complete mutant hunter for more to spawn

[hardy bear]

Still in the first area, found like half the helis, done the bloodsucker quest, the glowing wheel one, a fair few others. Hard to quantify

[spring apex]

waste of ammos

[dense hatch]

and the only one there you can just sit on top of the pipes and shoot

oh god the helis

[wide flume]

You have to complete mutant hunter for good ending

[spring apex]

i like fighting more mutants since it is in line with chernobyl's atmosphere

[dense hatch]

||the "reveal" of how the reason they crashed was because anomalies changed positions was so garbage||

[spring apex]

than fighting human enemies

[dense hatch]

the CNPP was peak in SoC

so was limansk

[wide flume]

I feel like it makes sense

[spring apex]

for cnpps is just absolute raid fest lol yeah

[dense hatch]

it makes sense, but it's such an awful reveal

[naive fog]

Best part of stalker

[still ridge]

Yeah it’s a slow start but it really picks up in the second half of the game

[naive fog]

Peak atmosphere

[dense hatch]

more like final third

and the final mission

[wide flume]

Wish granter voice

[dense hatch]

oh my god the final mission is the worst in the franchise by a county mile

[still ridge]

Also IMO you have the best quest in the game coming later

[spring apex]

||degtyarev investigating choppers for like month but suddenly strelok pops out of nowhere and tells that, like bruh||

[wide flume]

The main man of the zone

[still ridge]

Pripyat-1 = best quest in the games

Fight me

[hardy bear]

Sounds good. Got literally no idea what's to come as I've not watched anything about cop, keen to see where it leads

[dense hatch]

watch for spoilers

[dense hatch]

||it's part of the main quest so I gotta disagree with you there||

[hardy bear]

Definitely heard beforehand about it's much larger areas and how it's generally slower. it's different but I don't necessarily mind it

[wide flume]

||Love the squad interactions but it’s a pain to keep everyone alive||

[still ridge]

By itself, forget the connecting stuff

[dense hatch]

it doesn't really have much competition counting it as a sidequest

[hardy bear]

but still, spread kinda ruins some of the combat for me

[dense hatch]

CS spread without CS upgrades

[still ridge]

Upgrades my friend

[hardy bear]

I mean, i've got as many upgrades as I can for the guns I have, found some tools, but I suppose yeah, it'll get better later on

[still ridge]

Also weapon dependent

[hardy bear]

Just kinda loses it's tension when there is that constant spread that even tap fire can't change

[still ridge]

You can get an end game assault rifle for like 20k rubles from nimble

[wide flume]

Clear sky

[dense hatch]

why does the IL 86 exist

[sly matrix]

Filler

[spring apex]

for ecologist

[naive fog]

For Crimson

[hardy bear]

That's another point, I've got like 5 different guns all in one place that would have been incremental upgrades in the other games, so I've got no clue which are better than others :/

[wide flume]

For losers

[dense hatch]

THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE

[naive fog]

Crimson's based tho

[dense hatch]

it has the most filler weapons

[wide flume]

Bullpups aren’t

[naive fog]

SVU and GROZA

[dense hatch]

even in CS it wasn't as bad

[wide flume]

There are exceptions

[hardy bear]

are some just not worth investing in then?

[wide flume]

But there’s like 3

[dense hatch]

nah they're all too similar

[somber hawk]

troll

[naive fog]

AUG is pretty chill

[wide flume]

You’ve named the 3

[dense hatch]

at least some of the uniques look different if I recall correctly

some

[somber hawk]

they need to add a 45 acp ak

[naive fog]

7.62x39 first

[still ridge]

Depends

[hardy bear]

i've got the bigger ak as my main at the moment mostly due to the abundance of ammo, don't know if it's worth just sticking to it

[still ridge]

In my book, if it’s a weapon you get from nimble, it’s worth upgrading

[dense hatch]

I think it's literally just the pistols

[still ridge]

If it isn’t, I would save cash until I get weapons from nimble

Sometimes he gives you a good late game weapon, sometimes he gives you a unique

[wide flume]

It is

There deggies makarov and I think another one

[hardy bear]

is it too spoilery if I ask what those weapons might be?

[sly matrix]

SoC 9×18 viper also has unique look

[indigo marsh]

The P90 and the Svu

[indigo marsh]

Groza looks kinda ugly

Atleast imo

[dense hatch]

there isn't a p90

the f2000?

[wide flume]

Fish gun is a considerate

It’s on the boundary of making it 4 cool bullpups

[dense hatch]

it's mostly a little better version of some other gun or the classic late game weapons

[wide flume]

The list is ever changing

[hardy bear]

also if I refrain from spending money on them, that means my main gun will probably not get any upgrades for a while, is that mostly bearable?

[wide flume]

Or one of kind

||Clear sky armor ||

My love

[ruby warren]

||Streloks|| rifle and the avalanche were my favorites in CoP, the vss was what I was using at first until I realized the avalanche can use different scopes

[wide flume]

What if rostok has jazz bar and I can roleplay myself Ryan gosling

[hardy bear]

I would dig some jazz music in s2

[green hearth]

was this your question? haha https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1ewxduh/questions_in_discord/

[hardy bear]

Heck, gimme a mgsv style radio where I can put my own songs on and attach it to the pda

Would be pointless cause Spotify exists but it’d be cool nonetheless

[sly matrix]

What faction would be most likely to be into jazz?

Probably freedom

[naive fog]

I've already perfected my Spotify playlist so I'm good rn but cool idea

[hardy bear]

What kinda stuff have you got on there?

[naive fog]

Doomsday metal, soviet-wave, post punk, bit of hardbass for fun

And other stuff idk what to call, rock too ig

[wide flume]

Ecologist could be on the jazz timing to

[naive fog]

I can send a link if you want

[hardy bear]

Not sure what any of that actually means I won’t lie lol

[wide flume]

Specifically Sakharov

[naive fog]

He won't realise he's listening to music lol

[indigo marsh]

I mean generally

[naive fog]

Slavic vibes ig

[sly matrix]

Ecologists are nerds, so they probably listen J-pop

[indigo marsh]

Also isn't the p90 is available in build 1935

[naive fog]

I used to have the Viktor Tsoi haircut lol this is making me think of that

[hardy bear]

Got some dark ambience playlist I found but other than that I’ve got nothing really stalker focussed

[naive fog]

I can send you a link to mine

[wide flume]

We gonna having some soul playing

[hardy bear]

No harm in it I suppose, will give it a look

[naive fog]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0n5sLqhSPHjes4QVK0LaiK?si=uHMbTy8kQ-658TeRyhiV8Q&pi=QYdi_rcDSa6uX

Some lyube too but they got removed

So I have like 3 songs downloaded in there

Hardbass there for some fun ig

[wide flume]

I’m gonna have a hermit feel when playing s2

Even tho I’ll prolly be on master

[hardy bear]

Won’t lie, not a big fan of most of the songs, but it’s very thematic

[naive fog]

One song is half an hour of bandit radio

[naive fog]

Some of em hit better in other spots instead of the one Spotify shows but if you don't like KYPCK there's no point

[lilac lily]

I didn't phrase it like that at all

[somber hawk]

avalanche is goated in SoC

[ruby warren]

I preferred the VSS in SoC and CS

[somber hawk]

the builds brainwashed your brain

also theres bunch of other weapons cut from the stalker games, there was even supposed to be a striela MANPADS at one point

[still ridge]

As long as you keep them in good condition you’re fine

[dense hatch]

the sniper vla having 20 rounds just makes it one of the best options

[still ridge]

There’s a lot of guns that they cut

https://preview.redd.it/yurs254aj9071.png?auto=webp&s=da9efc80f68f98742e32696bf7a7d75035fd03ef

They really had a MANPADS lol

[somber hawk]

its sad that alot of those weapons werent added

[still ridge]

Agreed

[somber hawk]

toz 66 😭

RGO granade

[still ridge]

Seems like 7.62 AKs as well

Might be wrong

VSK-94

[finite dragon]

wait stalker had rpg?

[wide flume]

I just want more lmgs

[somber hawk]

it was supposed to be a ak74 from what i know

[still ridge]

Some grenade launcher below it?

[somber hawk]

gm94

[still ridge]

HK53 lol

[somber hawk]

3 shot pump action grenade launcher

[somber hawk]

the sprite is still in soc as the 9x18 viper 5

not the model tho

[still ridge]

It still does?

You can get the RPG in all games

[still ridge]

Idk because they both have the skeleton stocks

Granted it’s not an AKM folding stock

[indigo marsh]

I thought this was a joke 😭

[somber hawk]

wait is see it now

[indigo marsh]

But it really has it 😭

[somber hawk]

the more curved mag ak is a akm with a ak74s stock

[still ridge]

Also AKS-74U always had the wrong mag

[somber hawk]

😭

[still ridge]

Probably because they just took the AKM model and made the AKSU out of it

lol

instead of the AK74M, because it has a solid mag

Peak game development

[somber hawk]

also wtf is that rat near the tourist delight

[still ridge]

LMAO they really turned the AK-74M into an RPK

dead rat sprite lmfao

[dense hatch]

also the small piece of candy

[still ridge]

I think that’s an artifact

[dense hatch]

goofy looking artifact yeah

[still ridge]

Dude they really took the AK-74M, took off the barrel and stock and turned it into a pseudo RPK

That’s actually crazy

Also the strela

P90 and VSK-94 is also pretty weird

[dense hatch]

kinda sad it was replaced by an rpg

[wide flume]

I’m glad to see an excess amount of pistols has always been a staple

[somber hawk]

vsk looks normal

almost

[indigo marsh]

From the infographic that edillion sent it was there in the builds

[still ridge]

It was because it can be restored in mods

[somber hawk]

the manpads??

[still ridge]

Weird as in they wanted to add it but ended up cutting them

gameplay wise it would just be a VSS with a 20 rounder

[still ridge]

Fairly certain it can be restored

[somber hawk]

also cheaper

[somber hawk]

alot of guns can be restored

the p90 is in alot of mods

[still ridge]

Imagine how awful the original P90 reload animation is

Oh my god I can imagine it

[worn oar]

Not exactly cut

For some reason, all cut content (or at least most of it) is just unregistered in the spawns

[somber hawk]

in mods it isnt that bad

also it is op af

[wide flume]

Metro pew pew

[still ridge]

Is there a restored weaponry mod for the games?

[worn oar]

Oblivion lost restores some of it

[still ridge]

Afaik it’s all just entirely new models and animations, never seen a mod that restores these cut weapons

[worn oar]

Or actually all + more

If I remember right

[somber hawk]

old world for anomaly has alot of restored weapons i think

[somber hawk]

old world makes anomaly seem like the og's 😭

[granite mortar]

no

[somber hawk]

its a cool mod tho

[granite mortar]

it makes it more inline with OGs
but its still far from it

[still ridge]

On cue lol

[worn oar]

Anomaly

Ofc

[granite mortar]

it only looks cool because of how absurdly bad Anomaly is

[worn oar]

It's a sequel game, not a mod

[still ridge]

This FREE game is MASSIVE!

[somber hawk]

[granite mortar]

[worn oar]

It's how stalker 2 should be

[granite mortar]

immushun brutha

[worn oar]

Stalker 2 should take from anomaly

[still ridge]

What you NEED to try before playing stalker 2!

[worn oar]

Trilogy is outdated, anomaly is true stalker

[somber hawk]

anomaly in itself is not that good

[granite mortar]

but it got by far the least crap version of Gunslinger

[tender torrent]

What is the name of the weapon just above the FN 2000?

[still ridge]

Sig 550

[granite mortar]

its not good AT ALL
abysmall poopoo

[worn oar]

Wdym

[still ridge]

But that’s in the originals

[worn oar]

We are all anomalies here

[granite mortar]

my sleep schedule sure is an anomaly

[still ridge]

I’d say gunslinger is the best version of gunslinger because the base is an original game

[somber hawk]

uhhjhhhhh

[still ridge]

Heresy incoming

[granite mortar]

Id say TS has the best version of gunslinger because toggle sprint

[worn oar]

That missile launcher used to be in the build right?

[dense hatch]

I haven't seen people complain about the dlc besides it's difficulty

[wide flume]

Good DLC

[pseudo rivet]

Literally when is that going to come out?

[hidden stratus]

a lot of nitpicking, but for me it was honestly easy up to the last fight. The last one was just annoying. Empty fields, bad loot.
