Are there many people who can understand Japanese?

[sand fiber]

i mean CoP UI is better than CS UI, so there's that

[dim topaz]

Osaka gang 🤙

[finite dragon]

中国系日本人

[dim topaz]

[finite dragon]

日本語が解る方がいらっしゃるのは、とても嬉しいです！殆どネイティブ日本？なので。

[dim topaz]

みゆさんってハーフなん？生まれてからずっと日本に居る？

[finite dragon]

殆ど日本人ですね。どちらかと言うと……、今は日本にいます。

[spring apex]

i was surprised when there is stalker 3, lol

[sly matrix]

Seems like we might have glossed over one

[cedar torrent]

Anyone have an issue with the Radio Interference objectives not updating in CoP? Approaching the squad doesn't update the objective, so picking up the timed explosives doesn't trigger the cutscene which means I also can't plant the bombs on the Kindergarten.

[ruby warren]

Stalker XVII was my favorite personally

[finite dragon]

There are three trilogies, so it's inevitable that you'll make a mistake. 😅

[dim topaz]

Stalker 3 in 2037

[spring apex]

[sand fiber]

reload ig? the cutscene should start once you loot the bodies iirc

[cedar torrent]

Yeah, I reloaded every save I have from an hour before and replayed to this segment

Redid all of x-8 lab again and still won't update the objective to find the patrol

[sand fiber]

ughghhhhhh wierd, lemme check

[cedar torrent]

Tried pretty much everything I can think of. I also read on the wiki if you approach the kindergarten without the explosives it triggers a different cutscene, but cant get that to trigger either.

[finite dragon]

stalker 3 in 2033

[sand fiber]

no idea, tried it myself and the cutscene starts immediately after looting the body

[cedar torrent]

Bummer. Don't know whats causing it. Every video I've watched shows the objective update as soon as you arrive at the park, but mine doesn't.

Are there any tricks to sequence break and enter kindergarten without the cutscene trigger?

[sand fiber]

i think so but i'm not sure the quest will progress

are you sure you didn't sequence break anything?

[cedar torrent]

Hmm I don't think so. After leaving x-8 facility I get the chat in private mission as normal, and after talking to the commander, it gives radio interference as intended

then I just straight run to bodies

Quest log is pretty empty. Only yellow missions I have are radio interference and stringray squad, find the source of the charges

[toxic vector]

the wukong game is so successful, if Stalker 2 doesnt release in 2024. Wukong has high chance to be GOTY

[sand fiber]

wukong seems like a slop game ngl

+i don't see anything about it in my feed sooooo

[toxic vector]

you clearly didnt even play it or just hate it for some reasons

[sand fiber]

of course i didn't play it, i just said it looks lame :3

[weary gust]

Should I play these games for story, or gameplay?

[toxic vector]

graphics look ok for UE5

it may be one of UE5 games with best graphics

[spring apex]

legit this is a rare bug. i don't know too honestly but try saving near the body and then load that save?

[sand fiber]

what you really should be playing games for is experience :333
but uhhh both kinda

[cedar torrent]

Actually not a bad idea. Let me give that a shot

[sand fiber]

the only ue5 game i'm excited for is Cyberpunk 2 :S

[weary gust]

Should I play in chronological, or release order?

[sand fiber]

oh and witcher 4 if that's UE5

[sand fiber]

release
Shadow of Chernobyl > Clear Sky > Call of Pripyat

[toxic vector]

we dont even know how it looks like, too early to get in hype train

[weary gust]

Kk

[leaden sentinel]

Isn't CS is just an upgraded version of SoC

[sand fiber]

isn't life just demiurge's illusion

[gloomy knoll]

Cyberpunk never really got me caught up in it, I forced myself to play it through once after starting it over and over again

[sand fiber]

skill issue, 77 is one of the best games ever made :P

[leaden sentinel]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is not stalker without a scamming fatty called Sidorovich

Im gonna miss that fat mf

[spring apex]

[little plover]

do you guys know how much will be the ultimate edition?

[sand fiber]

wai they didn't bring him back in S2?

laaaameeee

[sly matrix]

Literally unplayable

[cedar torrent]

Bummer, didnt work. What a shame. A 70 hour trek through the trilogy to have a softlock 20 mins before the conclusion

[sand fiber]

sad :S
CoP ending is one of the best

[sly matrix]

Loading a previous save didn't work either?

[cedar torrent]

Nah, loaded every save I made all the way back to x-8 lab

previous quests concludes as it should, this one starts as it should, just doesn't progress at the same point every time

[rapid scarab]

When was the last stalker comic? Not book. Just comic or weeb toon.

[gloomy knoll]

Not much of a skill issue if I just found it boring at some point and kept being dissapointed at some things

[last moth]

I want to rp strelok irl

[broken latch]

My bad, we will get like some extra time to download the game so we can play it the moment it releases

[sly matrix]

Rough...

[old jungle]

I believe you might have to check all bodies for the cutscene to trigger

there's 3 of them

[cedar torrent]

yeah, even took all the loot off all three

no luck

[old jungle]

damn

[flint shoal]

am new hello

[sly matrix]

Hello new

[old jungle]

Welcome

[flint shoal]

thank

i dont really know much abt stalker, but I played it for the first time today (shadow of chernobyl)

i really like the vibe/style of that stuffs

[old jungle]

Nice, that's the best place to start. Hope you enjoy and if you have any question don't hesitate to ask

[flint shoal]

so i wanted to get into it

[robust stream]

Anyone have any word on when they’ll be releasing the physical pre order stuff and prices?

[old jungle]

As far as I understand the physical editions are sold out for the moment. Maybe they will be restocked later, I don't know.

[mortal parcel]

Message got deleted

Thanks for the free ping, I’ll be forever grateful

I’m French and we love to complain

So currently I’m complaining that you say that I only complain. Happy ? 🤝 . That’s mainly because I’m not checking this discord regularly as there’s enough to check in gamma discord

[gloomy knoll]

Fr*nch

[lethal orchid]

We should do a rescue mission where we save anomalous dugout and blow the place up

[old jungle]

I don't need saving

[olive flame]

I already purchased the game and hate spoilers, do I want to read stuff on stalker2.com like "Dive into the Zone" or wait for the game?

[old jungle]

The website does not reveal much, only basic surface information

[olive flame]

ok cool, thanks!

[lethal orchid]

Anomalousd, you aren't able to play the demo this time right

Just spartan?

[old jungle]

nope, I can't go to Gamescom

[lethal orchid]

GG

[old jungle]

Tommy will play at Pax West soon though

[lethal orchid]

They gotta do a pax central sometime

Stalker 2 demo in my backyard

[worthy lagoon]

@loud gate Mozzarella, are u going to play the DEMO?

[lethal orchid]

I think he already has

[worthy lagoon]

If u go there ask Mol1t for a rock

[old jungle]

Mozi is not going, but Dreamer and Tlap are

[loud gate]

[lethal orchid]

Oh dang

[loud gate]

My cousin will

[lethal orchid]

I love speaking for people and spouting generally incorrect information

[worthy lagoon]

Steal his ticket

[lethal orchid]

Steal his identity

[lethal orchid]

Even simpler, just show up early and pretend you're him

[grim mango]

Hello. Please tell me in which pavilion the GSC stand is located. I drove more than 1000 km and 16 hours without sleep to get to Gamescom.

[old jungle]

Now that's dedication. Sorry, I don't know where they are.

I'm gonna ask

[old jungle]

Hall 7, Xbox exhibition area.

[sly matrix]

[grim mango]

Thank you very much! I'll be there soon.

[old jungle]

Have fun there!

[grim vector]

Dude, please, sleep before driving back🙏

@grim mango keep us updated if it was worth the 1000km 16 hour drive 😄

[somber hawk]

uhhhh

[broken latch]

He ended up sending bad things so he got the boot, he had a question about specific sound location in gamma directory

[naive fog]

Look he switched accounts

[somber hawk]

also why did so many people start using the artifact emojis in their suggestions

[granite mortar]

because Mol1t is artifact muncher

[tender torrent]

You haven't missed anything, don't worry it's been going on for several months

[tender torrent]

I don't know if we will have a presentation of A.life 2.0

[old jungle]

closer to release probably

[tender torrent]

Hmm yeah

[robust stream]

Ty so they’ve been selling out and restocking off and on?

[ember mesa]

I’ll probably buy special edition if given chance, otherwise gotta put up with scalpers till someone sells opened

[flint shoal]

ive just reached the bar

now i have that damned music stuck in my head

[old jungle]

nice, how are you finding the game so far?

[flint shoal]

honestly considering its age, its pretty cool lol

im not the hugest fan of walking/running simulators but overall i love the vibe of this kinda thing :)

[naive fog]

Wait until you memorise the Duty propaganda

[nimble cipher]

shiny_goblin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[flint shoal]

whoopsie

but yeah, usually i dont play campaign/story progression games, normally i just mess around in sandbox/multiplayer stuff with friends

[flint shoal]

oh dear

why sausages so heavy 😭

[warm linden]

ngl I would prefer a shorter stalker game with a lot of content

[granite mortar]

._.

doesnt that contradict itself?

[rocky trellis]

Doubt the main story is going to be all that long, but still longer than previous games for sure. At least CoP had a lot of side quests compared to the main ones

[granite mortar]

I guess it will be 30 ish hours
maybe 40 because the map is really big

[rocky trellis]

Would probably double that number for doing vast majority of quests and only skipping a few ones you miss due to being hidden

Was surprised to find a quest triggered by buying from a certain dealer after finishing the game a few times 😂

[warm linden]

?

I would at least prefer a more linear game compared to open one

[granite mortar]

heresy

[pseudo rivet]

Horus

[granite mortar]

so true bestie

[flint shoal]

problem is

i recently played though dark souls since my sister got me into it

but after all bosses beat and game finished for dark souls 3 i was just under 100 hours

i search up total playtime for dark souls 3 and it says ~30 hours

[granite mortar]

30 is for the mandatory stuff

[flint shoal]

OHHH wait you're right, it says it right here im stupid lol

thank goodness im not as slow as i though i was then

[rocky trellis]

And also gameplay time depends a lot on how good you're at the game. If you haven't git gud yet, some bosses can take a long time

[flint shoal]

true

although im fairly proud of myself for beating gael in around 4 attempts

[rocky trellis]

How many for Nameless?

[flint shoal]

first try ehehhehehehhehh 😎

ds3 was my first, my sister told me to play it for my first dark souls game lol

[tender torrent]

just an indicative price

[flint shoal]

also is the merc suit worth the 12000 rubles?

[granite mortar]

nah

[flint shoal]

aw
looks cool

[loud gate]

Today is going to be a cool day

[old jungle]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

Agreed

[loud gate]

[pseudo rivet]

I'mma go to the Dark Valley and make Freedom cool off and let the Bandits take over

[old jungle]

[pseudo rivet]

Gradually take over the Zone

We already own territory in Yantar

[old jungle]

yeah I saw, very impressive

[pseudo rivet]

Although, weirdly enough, our faction strength is going down

I'm not getting as much reinforcements as I did a while ago

[tender torrent]

today maybe they will explain some additional details to us

[old jungle]

maybe your forces are spread too wide

[loud gate]

Hah.. hah.. hahah..

Strider laugh

[silk sparrow]

haircut is under NDA

[vagrant karma]

Hi, what do you thing about idea of Monolith, not having any insignia?

[hazy schooner]

nice try diddy

[loud gate]

Monolith does have patch

[vagrant karma]

If you think about it, it donesnt make sence for these fanatics, to make own patches, they are above these things

[ember fossil]

how do i play shadow of chernobyl without alt tabbing making game black screen

[lean quiver]

You are asking too much of x ray engine lol

[celest blaze]

fr lol hell even skyrim doesnt like alt tabbing much

[flint shoal]

i found a pso1 :D

[lean quiver]

now go mercykill some zombies

[dense hatch]

nah it gives them style

they're also controlled by the c-con, which clearly has an ego

[celest blaze]

^

monolith members dont have a sense of self anymore

they eat, sleep, breath monolith

[lean quiver]

Do you guys thing the C-consciousness stream memes right into monolith brains

[celest blaze]

i'd join if they did

C-Con beams instagram cat videos into their brains

[ember fossil]

so is there no fixes for this? do i literally need to quit game whenever someone writes on discord or i need to google something?

because suprise windowed mode doesnt work too for no reason

[lean quiver]

Dunno, ask in modding or enable discord overlay

[ember fossil]

the game is just off center and screenshots dont work too

and hotkeys dont work for some reason too

[celest blaze]

keep in mind Soc is just over 17 years old @ember fossil

[ember fossil]

i am aware of that

[celest blaze]

id use your phone if you have to

[flint shoal]

i think i somehow softlocked myself in a room

either that or im just blind because i am unable to leave this room

[granite mortar]

theres a lot of rooms
you gotta be more specfic

[dense hatch]

CS cave?

[spark vortex]

hahaha Its funny how some people caught me from even that angle like how do ppl know, several people saw me in the jacket too

making a yt video about my experiences with the demo rn, in editing phase got the recordings done

[spark vortex]

also goldsphere mod is giga officially based

[flint shoal]

im in (a?) laboratory that they wanted me to get some documents from for barkeep

[granite mortar]

[flint shoal]

theres a buncha firey flamey thingies

[granite mortar]

X-18?

[dense hatch]

if it's the lab with the documents you need to kill the fire ghost

[flint shoal]

i reloaded a previous save so well see what happens when i get back to it

[granite mortar]

shoot the flying fire cloud

[flint shoal]

yea sorry

[granite mortar]

or knife him, also works :3

[flint shoal]

will do 👍

[flint shoal]

:3!!

[silk sparrow]

do we know how big is GSC is? i bet its atleast 100 devs no?

[loud gate]

Around 400-500

[silk sparrow]

yea, i pulled up linkedin

[loud gate]

Probably even more than 500, but

[tender torrent]

I had thought 300, 350 approximately

[warm linden]

clear sky base gone

[mortal parcel]

well too bad 😛 . Ok thanks

[warm linden]

It's so jover

[silk sparrow]

Gazelka and Vazik in screenshot, eastern europeans will know

[terse path]

Scar back?

[finite dragon]

do we get something new in this live?

[tender torrent]

#📰┃announcement

[warm linden]

Brainwashed but we might possibly see him

[dim topaz]

Hyped for Scar, but got this dogwater star wars garbage instead... smh

[terse path]

Heres a truth nuke, Faust is Scar

[dim topaz]

real

[modern ravine]

what do we thing we will see ? nothing was on the live show but the intro level video was good

[sly matrix]

scar as antagonist would be terrifying ngl

[blazing atlas]

Day 1 was an embarassment, this time it better be good

[dim topaz]

how the turn tables am i right?

[dim topaz]

The only embarassment was how short the gameplay was. What they showed was peak.

[blazing atlas]

it was pitch black half the time

[worthy lagoon]

HOLY MOLY

[spring apex]

scar wtf

[worthy lagoon]

Chad scar

[blazing atlas]

i didn see nuffin

[loud gate]

Me when night is dark

[finite dragon]

if i see scar im gonna kiss mol1t

[blazing atlas]

i know it was night, but why would you show that

[spring apex]

oh you havent seen clear sky's red forest at night how dark is it

[main tangle]

ikr i guess lurking everyday does pay off

[loud gate]

because the demo takes place at night

[granite mortar]

hey!
punk, make your own schizo thing

[untold salmon]

wait is stalker at this livestream as well?

[dim topaz]

Gamers spend 80% of their life in darkness, you should already be plenty adjusted ...

[spring apex]

stalker 2's demo night is brighter than it

[spark vortex]

Yep it just does

Its decently bright tbh but torch helps for sure

[untold salmon]

i think thats down to cameras

[finite dragon]

Scar's return!?

[main tangle]

we getting info on scar or something btw ? insane

intesifies

[silk sparrow]

so we getting some news today?

[modern ravine]

imagine they dropped the demo online ... i miss demo's

Wish clear sky had baddies in it fr 🙏

[celest goblet]

SoC is still my favorite but I'm glad I finally became a CS Appreciator after my last replay

[silk sparrow]

they have boddies instead

[spring apex]

[finite dragon]

#📰┃announcement "Scar became one of the Legends, but the culmination of his path seems to be only just beginning. 👀 "

[valid summit]

Soc had the biggest wtf moments

[spring apex]

big hint tbh

[exotic mural]

CS had some great parts too imo

[naive fog]

It has D Lite tho

[valid summit]

I like soc bc it has a lot of cutscenes

[naive fog]

Also SoC cutscenes are peak

[valid summit]

Fr

[finite dragon]

😭

[nimble cipher]

b18c5 has been warned

They felt like you were doing a acid trip

I forgot about wolf

[spark vortex]

SWAMPE

[spring apex]

[valid summit]

I hope stalker 2 has more cutscenes

[naive fog]

I was literally playing CS all morning

[spark vortex]

it does

[naive fog]

And I'm playing as CS in OWA rn

[loud gate]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has 3 hours of cutscenes.

[naive fog]

Yippee

[valid summit]

One thing I like about games is getting that little break from playing by watching the plot unfold

[spark vortex]

unpopular opinion, i want more mediocre looking pre rendered cutscenes that feel like dreams (soc)

but we getting that mocapped smooth in-game engine cutscene goodness I think

[worthy lagoon]

Agreed

[spark vortex]

I hope theres still 1 or 2 of those tucked in the game

[finite dragon]

I think this is the first time Scar's name is mentioned in Stalker 2. It must mean something.

[naive fog]

Yo guys I just took my plate off the stove and it felt a little warm so I put my hand on the stove to check if it was on. Am I smart or nah?

[blazing atlas]

id wished theyd make a move like that

[loud gate]

[valid summit]

Yea but how many are gonna be live cutscenes while other being the hard roles ones

[blazing atlas]

soc style ofc

[tender torrent]

Gameplay Stalker 2 soundtrack ign?

[spring apex]

lol i think maybe we can mess it up by say, spawning a chimera when stalker 2's cutscene is going on.

[untold salmon]

scar my beloved

[loud gate]

Wdym live?

[spark vortex]

official movie when

[naive fog]

It ended up being on so I was right

[valid summit]

Ike some cutscenes in cop are where it does a little panorama with the camera calling it a cutscene but the npcs around you can bump into you etc

[finite dragon]

But now I love Faust!

[valid summit]

Like rdr2

[finite dragon]

[loud gate]

Well, are cutscenes are in-game.. Funny bug Zak told, once A-Life started screwing with a cutscene lol

[celest goblet]

That's how you know it's a real stalker game

[untold salmon]

stalkers walking by while skif gets attacked by monolith lmao

[worthy lagoon]

I'd say that Scar is Faust

[spring apex]

yeah its funny if like that, since we can do this

[celest goblet]

Four dudes walking in a straight line during a cutscene

[valid summit]

I wish they brought oversized boots back

[celest blaze]

ong

[naive fog]

I hope so

[granite mortar]

wrong
Faust is savior

[static compass]

[granite mortar]

and Korshunov is Redrick

[static compass]

Anyone here play the demo?

[valid summit]

Yk what they say abt big shooed stalkers

[untold salmon]

scar being faust would make sense why hes at the clear sky camp

Scar returns at last

Scar is the most powerful man in zone so why not

[celest blaze]

Peak Sky 2

[indigo marsh]

Isn't that just peak sky

[marsh dome]

For as long as we've been saying he'd be back

[finite dragon]

Scar is way better than all other characters

[celest goblet]

They could just be messing with us still

[worthy lagoon]

That doesn't make any sense

[finite dragon]

Or will Skif find the old Clear Sky like Scar?

[unborn glen]

fact

[brave wagon]

guys CoP Gunslinger or CoP ABR which one is better

[naive fog]

What if Faust is actually Tolik

[marsh dome]

If Scar is Faust, RIP Strider...

[celest blaze]

scar doesnt have streloks based hairline

[spring apex]

legit in lore, scar's strength is enchanced by emissions, keep that in mind. so he is stronger than average man in the zone.

[granite mortar]

you dont make any sense!

[celest blaze]

@unborn glen based af pfp

[loud gate]

Guys, guys, I am Scar.

[static compass]

No way

[granite mortar]

I dont remember Scar being from Romania

[indigo marsh]

Most old clear sky is dead. Only Nimble, Gray, and a few others are alive.

That's because you forgot or were not seeing

[granite mortar]

You say that with all characters
you got split personality bruh

[spring apex]

'what am i doing in romania'

[indigo marsh]

I am blind yet it is you who cannot see

[granite mortar]

You think characters gave Scar stuff because they knew he would steal it anyways?
Which is why we dont see him steal anything that isnt bolted to the ground

[worthy lagoon]

Mozi wants to be but cannot turn into me

[shrewd mantle]

More of stalker 2 today?

[granite mortar]

[marsh dome]

If Scar is Faust, his brain is definitely fried

[loud gate]

[static compass]

Bro caught too many emissions

[granite coral]

Yes

[granite mortar]

Mozi cant turn into the least based moderator in this server?

[flint shoal]

monolith suit or stalker suit?

[main tangle]

they said there's some more coming up in the live starting in about 23 minutes

[valid summit]

But does strelok have a skibiti gyat?

[granite mortar]

[static compass]

Bro I'm busy in 23 minutes

[celest goblet]

Hopefully yes. The demo will also be open to the public so we may see some more impressions

[tender torrent]

Other gameplay?

[final junco]

can we get the gameplays that IGN is showing in 4k?

[main tangle]

not sure but definetely a segment for it

[timber violet]

today is dev talk according to IGN website

[static compass]

As long as it's not another 2 hours of Diablo IV

[main tangle]

Ohhh they jsut teased us with the intro to time of opportunities those breekies man

[loud gate]

No promises.

[tender torrent]

ok thank you

[main tangle]

thought it was something new lmao

[granite coral]

They are showing Stalker 2 right now 😎

[celest goblet]

Yeah though just a replay of the SGF stuff

[final junco]

[celest goblet]

I wouldn't expect anything new during pre show

[timber violet]

I wonder if S2 will ruin every other game for us for the near future

[celest goblet]

For shooters at least it probably will for me

[static compass]

Chornobyl go brrrr

[toxic vector]

i hope the mod support is good

[celest blaze]

i dont think itll ruin other games for me as other games arent trying to be stalker 2

[main tangle]

yeah it's different

SEPTEMBER 05 still on boys let's go

[static compass]

I'm gonna no life Stalker 2

[celest goblet]

Though I think I will still enjoy the new Doom when that comes out

[celest blaze]

[tender torrent]

Stalker 2 with the Metro Exodus Engine

[spring apex]

it will ruin sleep schedule

[granite mortar]

I hope I can shoot mercenaries in first 3 minutes of gameplay

[celest blaze]

stalker 2 with the arma 3 engine

[fair jackal]

I will be taking my sweet damn time with 2 when i get it.

[stray hemlock]

Thats all WE got for stalker 2 ?

I feel like the gameplay of Doom and Stalker are vastly different experiences lol

[main tangle]

it's pre-show

[celest blaze]

i got alot more then most of the stalker community

[toxic vector]

same, if they have the AR like guns

[stray hemlock]

So later today ?

[static compass]

Did they show something?

[main tangle]

look at timer it starts in about 17 minutes

[celest goblet]

Yeah that's why I think one won't really matter for the other

[stray hemlock]

I'm sorry what timer ?
But thanks for info !

[tender torrent]

We could have had yesterday's gameplay without the surrounding sound with real gameplay

[celest blaze]

id hope so tbh they are vastly different games

[main tangle]

IGN livestream

[granite mortar]

if they have anything remotely tacticool I will break Geneva conventions

[stray hemlock]

Oh ok ! I'm dumb thanks

[celest blaze]

grok gammafied it

[main tangle]

true that's not a bad idea

[toxic vector]

i used to stealth kill some merc fellow to get good weapons

[stray hemlock]

Annold trailer

[cyan canopy]

I bet we had to wait for like years or months for STALKER 2 SDK much like Doom Eternal and Metro Exodus

[static compass]

You don't want quad NVG and skull masks?

[indigo marsh]

So nothing different from daily life?

[celest blaze]

ayo dayz

[granite mortar]

I will shoot the dead body untill all that crap is covered in red and unrecognizable from rest of the head

[static compass]

[celest blaze]

we adding gammas armor and weapon mechs

[indigo marsh]

[cyan canopy]

Tarkov guns in stalker 2

[spring apex]

hell naw

[celest blaze]

[indigo marsh]

[spring apex]

taking 6 seconds to reload that one bullet

[fair jackal]

i wonder if the Exo armor will be an attachment instead of it´s own thing.

[cyan canopy]

Rad suit

[hazy helm]

why would it be handled like that?

[celest blaze]

i hope we can rock mono rad suits

[fair jackal]

in the videos we have seen, there is someone with an armor on and another with the same armor but with an exo on it.

[fair jackal]

this was originally the way the concept of it was apparently.

[cyan canopy]

Proto exos 👌

[hazy helm]

why would stalker 2 handle it like that

[cyan canopy]

From SoC old build

[fair jackal]

i also didn´t notice the like 2-3 guns we have seen with camos lol.

[indigo marsh]

So they improved it in release ver

[fair jackal]

why wouldn´t it? it seems they´re using things that was meant to be in the other games like the Plasma Artifact is a cut one but it will be in 2

[spring apex]

nah i like it more into the radiation suit - exoskeleton concept

[hazy helm]

why would exos be attachements to suits?

[fair jackal]

why would they not

[hazy helm]

why would they?

[fair jackal]

because it makes sense?

[indigo marsh]

Does it?

[fair jackal]

i think it does. the model of what we have seen for 2 looks like it was attached rather than being built around the suit or armor.

[untold salmon]

isnt a major point of the exos that they're for a specific suit because its too heavy otherwise

[fair jackal]

i don´t think so

[untold salmon]

ignore me then

[fair jackal]

it just seems like they help you carry more.

[hazy helm]

why?

the power of speculation

[fair jackal]

they don´t seem to be like powering you up like being able to punch through walls or anything.

[hazy helm]

yknow Stalker 2 is gonna feature Last Day, why? they were in the builds, why? why not? why? stop asking

[indigo marsh]

They also provide improved protection against small armor and mutants

[hazy helm]

like so? yhea

[fair jackal]

in the games it seems that it´s connected to the suit or armor but that the armor itself is really high grade compared to other suits.

some of the exo looks attached rather than being built into the armor.

[hazy helm]

so more speculation

[main tangle]

an exoskeleton is a skeleton. an exoskeleton suit, is the full thing.

[hazy helm]

[fair jackal]

i mean you can just go watch the video then.

[spring apex]

mumbo jumbo, my favourite

[fair jackal]

Anomalous Dugout made a video where he talks about what was shown and he talks about the Exo shown.

[hazy helm]

I fail to see how any of this is a sure fire pointer to attachable exos

[fair jackal]

i fail to see where i have said that Stalker 2 will absolutely have attachable exos for certain like you´re basically claiming me to have.

[hazy helm]

you claimed it could be a thing
I asked why
and you gave speculation which doesnt prove anything

[granite mortar]

fire?
firewatch?

[humble pivot]

i hope they talk about a-life 2.0 during the interview

[fair jackal]

you mean i literally, speculated, that it could be a thing as they showed us someone with Armor only seen being a part of Exoskeletion suits and then showed another guy, wearing the exact same Armor but with the Exo on it?

i fail to see where i have been wrong here like idk what you´re trying to say i have done wrong.

[main tangle]

to be fair you can wear exoskeletons with anything it's literally a skeleton that's the point. so it is possible technically

[hazy helm]

you say that as tho making shit up is wrong

[hazy helm]

not in the main games

[fair jackal]

bruh what the hell are you even on about

[granite mortar]

Vasim
Are you secretly Colonel Korshunov?

[main tangle]

yeah ofc not in the games that wasn't a thing

[untold salmon]

stalker 2 on the ign stream

[main tangle]

What where is stalker 2 on the schedule ?

[finite dragon]

its prob gonna be some 2 min trailer

[humble pivot]

wtf stalker 2 is a footnote again

[finite dragon]

what that means

[sand fiber]

stalker

[humble pivot]

footnote means that stalker 2 is mentioned somewhere but not on the main program list

idk google the meaning

[untold salmon]

speaker said they were gonna look at it

star wars and indiana jones are big names so they probably just put those first for general interest

[humble pivot]

yet they say stalker 2 is the most anticipated game this year

[main tangle]

yeah probably

[sand fiber]

stalker

[dense hatch]

it's not speculation if there's any sort of actual basis for it

if you count the extra design docs like the sunrise exoskeleton I swear wasn't just fanmade

[hazy helm]

the sure fire proof being the models look like it
which doesnt tell anything of gameplay, since it may just be a sign of art direction

[lilac lily]

Sunrise exo is kino, I hope we get to see it in Stalkach the second

[fair jackal]

i guess i have to repeat, but i never stated that it was for sure going to be how it will be. i quite literally speculated that it could be different this time around due to that we see the same armor with and without the exo.

[tropic junco]

I finally got a fastlane ticket in gamescom

I can try the game in like 2 hours :)

[fair jackal]

like at no point did i state anything as "sure fire proof" lmao

[modern ravine]

so from the new video we start with a device that presumably recharges anolomies , or so we are told.. anyone have thoughts of when new technology could be in S2 ? Like Gauss Rifle and Exosuit are known things ... i wonder what new surprised could be tech or guns wise

[sly matrix]

an exoskeleton frame on top of a bullat armored suit and a visor helmet would go pretty hard

[lilac lily]

Charging anomalies to produce artifacts was kind of a plot point of the cancelled 2012 game

[humble pivot]

farming artifacts

[lilac lily]

SIIRCA/NIICHAZ would have envisioned a giant device sucking energy out of the Noosphere to mass produce artifacts

[primal current]

Charging anomalies? How does that work

[worthy lagoon]

News? @loud gate

[loud gate]

Not yet, soon

[still solstice]

Scar lived, confirmed 4k no fake?

[lilac lily]

Hermann mentioned it in the gameplay we saw, there will probably be more info on it in the game

[untold salmon]

Soon tm

[finite dragon]

can someone plz tag me when stalker part came

[worthy lagoon]

I'm going to turn you into a mozzarella

[primal current]

Oh cool

[lilac lily]

GSC is reusing a lot of ideas from the cancelled game, I hope the story deviates enough for us who know about the 2012 plot not to have this S2 spoiled

[old jungle]

Your theory is looking pretty hot right now 🔥

[primal current]

Whats the 2012 plot?

[celest goblet]

Did I miss something on the stream

[primal current]

Never saw this before, thanks

[modern ravine]

it wasnt in the day 1 live , it was a video release on ign. the next live section will be the last thing covered on day 2 live

[worthy lagoon]

Strelok is the head of SIIRCA and was evil so you had to kill him

[pearl olive]

S2 CS base looks

[primal current]

Uh were there ever trailers made for the game?

[old jungle]

he was not the head I think, but a high ranking member

[lilac lily]

The player was supposed to be a legal stalker employed by SIIRCA and during a job interview (of sort) in Strelok's office an anomaly forms and kills him, for which the player gets blamed and has to flee

[worthy lagoon]

Idk

I don't think so

[celest goblet]

There were a couple storylines considered for the original S2

[lilac lily]

No, but some engine code and assets were leaked

[broken latch]

I love this so much

[lilac lily]

There was one where Strelok is the protagonist and returns to the Zone again after having reoccuring dreams of it

There I think Strider would play a big role

[fair jackal]

i hope a little that they do change the exo to be an accessory

[lilac lily]

GSC taking OGSR features without crediting the modmakers, someone call Grok

[broken latch]

[fair jackal]

it´d be cool to have an exo on a SEVA

[broken latch]

That would be a different suit of armor

But instead of being an accessory

It could be additional thing you could wear

[broken latch]

With pros and cons

[hazy helm]

that is what he is asking

attachable exos

[lilac lily]

It sounds fun, but it's difficult to balance, a exoskeleton over a SEVA or a Bulat would completely nullify their negative traits, being less ballistic protection or limited carry weight due to the suit being heavy

[broken latch]

Yeah but as an accessory, like additional skin, not actual thing that impacts gameplay

[lilac lily]

And having the exo offer no protection by itself would nullify the point of having it

[broken latch]

Armor is already useless in stalker

[celest blaze]

Fr

[broken latch]

It would actually be more helpful because it would give more weight to carry

[celest blaze]

HIGHLY debatable

[broken latch]

Just don't get shot

[fair jackal]

no i mean as it does what the exo does. not just a skin that changes the look of it to look like an exo without it having the effects of it.

[humble pivot]

how would exo provide protection? it's just a skeleton around the actual armor

[celest blaze]

Just turn on god mode ez

[fair jackal]

i would post a pic but i can´t

[broken latch]

It deflects knifes

[fair jackal]

just to like show what i´m basing my speculation on.

[broken latch]

#💬┃en_offtop everyone has pic perms there

[fair jackal]

wasn´t there also a screenshots?

it will let me post in there, does it matter which i use for showing what i mean?

[lilac lily]

Mod brainrot

Some armors and especially the exoskeleton turn you into the Terminator

[finite dragon]

im confused, do we get something new in this live or not?

[loud gate]

Yup!

[fair jackal]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[hazy helm]

yknow

[fair jackal]

posted the pic of the video i saw that made me think they will let us put the exo on armors.

well speculate.

[hazy helm]

this has me question even more why you think like this

lmao

[celest blaze]

Ngl I am thankful they made the exo better in stalker 2 the og ones looked kinda weird

[fair jackal]

idk why you´re struggling with this

[humble pivot]

yeah its a simple concept lol

[frigid anchor]

Question: Are we going to see anything else about STALKER 2 on the Day 2 livestream of Xbox?

[hazy helm]

all of this is disregarding the fact that the developers may have just wanted to provide you with the option to have a rank of armour below the freedom exosqueleton

I fail to see how someone comes to the conclusion that this may hint at attachable exos

[modern ravine]

ive been loving the video people have been making of graphic comparisons of the locations

[fair jackal]

i don´t recall them saying they wanted to give us an option to get an armor but without the exo

[hazy helm]

I dont recall them saying they wanted to give the player the option to attach a exo either

[worthy lagoon]

Ur useless

[untold salmon]

xbox i dont think so, ign yes

[hazy helm]

ho I did a typo on my comment

sorry guys

[full bronze]

no radio in the PDA

[hazy helm]

I forgot to add the may have

[frigid anchor]

When does IGN's livestream start? Got a link?

[untold salmon]

announcements

[old jungle]

already up

[worthy lagoon]

Jk ily

[hazy helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAf5IGsUKs8

[modern ravine]

i just leveled up and got told "That word isnt allowed here" what word ? i didnt even swear

[frigid anchor]

Thank you!

[hazy helm]

prob fuck

or shit

or bullshit

[fair jackal]

that picture literally shows a guy with armor on in the upper corner and then a guy wearing the exact same armor but with an exo on it. and then you´re confused about why i would consider this to mean that exos could become attachable to armors due to us literally not having seen the style of armor that Exo suits in the games has without the exo attached before Until now,

[modern ravine]

i mentioned i didnt swear

[hazy helm]

yes I find it hard to believe that someone immediately comes to that conclusion right off the bat when there are other reasons that can be concluded, one being the modelers and artists thought that that model was the best for freedom or reused it, or bc they didnt have time to model another, or because they have the normal armour has a mid late game option for the player before accessing the exosqueleton, etc etc

you can make at least 10 theories for it without beating the drum of attachable exos

[humble pivot]

there is no conclusions, only possibilities at the moment

[fair jackal]

so why exactly is my reasoning for one suit having it and the other not just wrong to you but your idea that the one with it is just a higher tier of the armor being the right answer?

[dim topaz]

I honestly really hope they changed that, that was some dumb shh

[timber violet]

Can they do stalker segment now? :)

[humble pivot]

man they really edging with the stream smh

[granite mortar]

shit is allowed

[sand fiber]

uhhh no akchyually

[fair jackal]

like dude's out here telling me i´m wrong for thinking that it´s possible they will have exos we can put on armors this time around.

[hazy helm]

I am questioning your reasoning and your reasons for believing it, as there are a lot of other reasons one may choose to do this

[sand fiber]

strelok got killed by SIIRCA members

[celest blaze]

No

[sand fiber]

yes

[fair jackal]

but just because there is other things doesn´t just mean that my speculation is wrong lmao.

[celest blaze]

|| source? And not mods ||

He's alive in cop

[sand fiber]

It was the 2011 early plot, you play as a siirca scientist, witness strelok getting killed and uncover the siirca plot to control the zone or sumshit

[old jungle]

she's talking about the cancelled S2

[celest blaze]

Non canon so he's alive

[sand fiber]

???

[old jungle]

Strelok got assassinated and the player was accused of the murder

[celest blaze]

Is that what stalker 2 is now ? If not she's wrong

[old jungle]

Of course not. It's a different game.

[hazy helm]

I asked why, and kept asking why, and the questioned your reasoning as to why, but I didnt say you were def and conclusively wrong for thinking it

[sand fiber]

why the fuсk am i wrong, i'm talking about s2011 plot

[celest blaze]

And I'm saying it's irrelevant

[fair jackal]

the plot of Stalker 2 has changed it over time it seems and it sounds like that plot of Strelok being killed and the player being framed for it, is an old plot they scrapped

[hazy helm]

altho yes, I do think its p silly to assume that the entire feature will be available just from this pic when the much easier assumption is to assume that it just is another suit of armour

[sand fiber]

who cares what you're saying, i was responding to a person who got the s2011 plot wrong, are you stupid?

[hazy helm]

Stalker 2012 is not Stalker 2 and the story for 2012 was not reused for 2

[worthy lagoon]

Any news?

[spring apex]

it is a cancelled version from 2011

[hazy helm]

thbis was stated by GSC

[celest blaze]

Don't really care tbh

[hazy helm]

Stalker 2012 is a completely separate project that went under

[granite mortar]

Strelok ate sircaa members

[sand fiber]

also not true tbh they seem to re-use the S2012 concepts

[lilac lily]

Are the perimeter wall, perimeter security forces, anomaly charging devices, Strider being an important character and probably more also irrelevant

[spring apex]

we ain't even know strelok's fate now

[fair jackal]

cool but like, why would it be that much more likely that it´s just the same suit but a higher tier of it when that is also a thing they haven´t done in the games before.

[humble pivot]

the original design was to have the exoskeleton as an attachment, you know, like they work in real life. it isn't far fetched to entertain the possibility that they may have have introduced that into the game imo

[timber violet]

Looking at the booth of Stalker it looks like the game runs on Xbox, so we can potentially expect even better graphics on PC

[sand fiber]

no it wasn't, exoskeleton was always a suit

[lilac lily]

They're obviously not copying the 2012 story 1:1, but they clearly lifted some things from it

[fair jackal]

like i feel like i´m being talked down to for thinking that they might give us the options to attach exos to armors as it was originally thought up as.

[hazy helm]

I am going by what GSC have stated when the leaks happened, that they were fine with it as the leaks about 2012 do not impact 2 as they are not recycling the main points of 2
I assume they have been inspired by some small parts but the main ones, the main story and the factions writting and visulas, no

[spring apex]

inspiration

[pearl olive]

Try stating that you enjoy literally anything in here and see how everyone reacts

[sand fiber]

i mean, every time we get new info it's just more confirmations that the game's heavily based on S2012, locations from 2012, sequences from 2012, characters from 2012

[humble pivot]

okay i might be wrong, just that the latest video from anomalous mentionad that

[hazy helm]

because you can tell that they are basing the game around the games that came out and not so much their builds and such, thus, adding one more option of wearables that acts as a bridge beetween the exo and the mid armour from the freedom faction would make much more sense in progression and balancing than creating and balancing the new mechanic of attachable exos

[spring apex]

the idea is form oblivion lost but it barely even make it to the development?

[sand fiber]

i can't say that with 100% certainty but i don't think that idea was in SoC desdocs, surely not in builds

[hazy helm]

not really no, Stalker 2 is going in directions completely opposite to that of Stalker 2012 Id say

[hazy helm]

supposedly Lost Alpha builds

[sand fiber]

in OL/SoC builds exo was just like in release, a suit

[sand fiber]

fair ig, haven't read them myself :S

[pearl olive]

they will put a chick in S2 and make her lame and gay, or I dont pay

[spring apex]

just a scraped idea yeah

[fair jackal]

that´s the same video i saw. he says that it might mean that they´re making the exos that way but also says that there might still be normal exo suits. then points out that when the exo skeletons were originally thought about, they were attachable to different suits and showed pics of other suits with it on. that in the games we go, never happened.

[sand fiber]

they should make her gay actually

[pearl olive]

its 2024 she will be

[sand fiber]

me waiting in line in 2013 for the release of the gay

[fair jackal]

i do think it´d be cool if they did add women to the game.

as like stalkers.

[worn oar]

[finite dragon]

Chick wit dick

[spring apex]

hell naw

[granite mortar]

more reasons to shoot before asking questions

[fair jackal]

guns are literally the great equilizer so it wouldn´t make sense for them not to be there just because they´d lose a fist fight to a man.

[pearl olive]

was more of a south park reference but suree as long as she's not named 'Jynxx' and has purple and green pig tails

[spring apex]

target practice

[full bronze]

is Hip a man?

[worn oar]

this feels like reddit comments section

[azure vector]

@vernal magnet hi, will there be a stream today?

[spring apex]

who tf is hip

[full bronze]

the loner girl

[worn oar]

Anomaliers detected

[spring apex]

oohhh its from anomaly. ehh idk

[hazy helm]

honestly, unless he read it in a super early desdoc as an idea that was quickly scrapped, I dont know what he is on about, as the portraits from the games are just pictures of supposed new suits for the games factions, they are literally just, the factions exosuits

[fair jackal]

they just look like the normal non faction ones though in the pic he shows

[full bronze]

I would play the originals if the guns didn't feel like handling a brick with a trigger.

[hazy helm]

yes

[sand fiber]

like from SoC builds?

[fair jackal]

putting the original games down for having pretty bad gunplay is kinda sad.

[hazy helm]

the earliest of builds, let me get the photos

[fair jackal]

idk where they´re from

[pearl olive]

skill issues

[full bronze]

It's just not fun and I don't play to have a bad time

[hazy helm]

exo in build 1834

in build 2205

[fair jackal]

like the pics looks like Sunrise suit

[sand fiber]

ye it's just a costume lol

[celest blaze]

Modslop

[fair jackal]

and then another with that bigger helmet on.

[hazy helm]

builld 1510

[hazy helm]

and here are the full set of portraits

thats all I have on the topic of attachable exos

bc

[celest blaze]

If console players can do it and you can't that's a big skill issue lol

[sand fiber]

once again ssethzentach is the only based westerner for enjoying vanilla gunplay :3

[hazy helm]

I dont know where they pulled it

since

I dont know where it is stated that the builds had attachable exos

I dont remember that

being the case

[sand fiber]

THEY DON'T

[celest blaze]

If you could read it properly they said they DONT like the trilogy

[cyan canopy]

Then modified the damage in ltx

[sand fiber]

???

[cyan canopy]

What could possibly wrong?

[celest blaze]

Whoever can't handle the trilogy should stick to mobile gaming

[spring apex]

enemies one shot you even in exoskeleton

[sand fiber]

your mental state and text comprehension is deteriorating, take a break

[celest blaze]

Source ?

[sand fiber]

can't read a single sentence properly

[full bronze]

It's just the recoil, the design, the sound, not the damage. It feels like holding a brick in your hand. I loved the trilogy. I completed all 3 games just for the story when I had a PC that could barely run Windows 7

[celest blaze]

It appears you can't

[fair jackal]

Anomalous showed some of those while on the topic. saying the idea of them being attachable was scrapped during development of SoC. i assume he knows his stuff given that his Channel is all about STALKER

[sand fiber]

what the fuсk are you talking about

[hazy helm]

yhea Ill directly ask him about it later, because I need to know his sources, since, I dont know where he pulled this from

in the meantime

I asked SurDno

[celest blaze]

I'm ready for stalker 2 now

[fair jackal]

Anomalous Dugout.

[old jungle]

I'm not a master of cut content because I did not play all the builds

[fair jackal]

idk if you´re the same one lol

[hazy helm]

ha, I was about to send you a DM, do you have a source for this?

[broken latch]

You dare tell me that

[old jungle]

I probably made a mistake then

[celest blaze]

They are

[fair jackal]

neat

[sand fiber]

can you even be a proper buildofreak without speaking russian

[hazy helm]

I wanna confirm with SurDno before making conclusions, I aint a god at desdocs

[broken latch]

I'm the lord protect of cats, I wrote history before you were born

[still solstice]

damn im already spoiled on russian forum what they are gonna show on ign what the hell, how do they get that before ign showing it itself xD

[loud gate]

Shhhh shhh

[humble pivot]

nooo spoilers please

[old jungle]

I remember that being a thing but I could have misremembered. It made sense in my head since some suits, like the stalker suit, existed both with and without exoskelton frame. Maybe both visuals existed but there was no gameplay mechanic of puting the exo on top

[loud gate]

Embargo is soon anyway, shut up

How did IGN mess this up

[celest goblet]

It happens

[still solstice]

dont know, the pictures have the ign logos

[sand fiber]

okay so you just imagined that :3

[humble pivot]

people gonna people

[old jungle]

I'm gonna pull down the vid

[celest goblet]

There's always plenty of room for human error

[celest blaze]

Only peak sky enjoyers don't make mistakes

[loud gate]

No, I know what happened, but don't share it.

[hazy helm]

back then there was no way to make dynamic models, you could dynamically attach stuff to models, which would mean youd have to make a separate model, at which point it is a lot more sensible to make a new suit of armour and add that to the game economy, tho it would be better to ask someone else who knows more than me

[hazy helm]

dont be hasty, wait a bit and Ill get back to you

[still solstice]

No, never, im not that kind of people

[hazy helm]

I know a guy who is autistic about this

[still solstice]

[old jungle]

it has other problems as well

[hazy helm]

he knows everything about development

[loud gate]

How did it spread tho, it happened at 3AM

[old jungle]

SurDno? I know him

[dapper finch]

So is there actually stalker on this stream or what?

[hazy helm]

he is THE guy

[loud gate]

Yes.

[celest goblet]

Not rn but soon I would guess

[humble pivot]

yeah they just like edging us

[shrewd mantle]

stalker show something already?

[loud gate]

No.

[old jungle]

nope but they posted

[main tangle]

they know biggest community is stalker so they will leave it a bit later to milk the live, it's a classic

[fair jackal]

i almost wish a little that they had put the KGS-12 into the game instead of the DP-12

[celest goblet]

Might be leaving it for near the end, it's one of the more anticipated games at the show

[fair jackal]

i like the idea of having buckshot in one tube and slugs in another.

[hazy helm]

correct me if Im wrong but doesnt the DP12 have 2 mags as well

[proven shadow]

Dp 12 has 2 tubes 1 for each barrel

[finite dragon]

Stalker 2 will NEVER be shown at gamescom

It’s so over

[fair jackal]

it does but it alternates between the 2 where the KGS toggles between them instead.

[finite dragon]

Nothing ever happens

[humble pivot]

it's the mandela effect

[dapper finch]

but it already has

[worthy lagoon]

@hazy helm @loud gate Any news?

[sand fiber]

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

[loud gate]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[celest goblet]

Patience

[silk sparrow]

did they showed anything yet?

[proven shadow]

Isnt the dp12 known to explode anyway ? Lmao

[old jungle]

who cares? SPAS-12 is a pretty bad weapon IRL and still rocks in games and movies

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/sleeping-sleep-dog-dawg-eeper-gif-5083970977419902566

[proven shadow]

Which is why we need the ks23 ! If it blows up at least you know the thing you were aiming at died too

[hazy helm]

where the fuck is that fucking stalker 2

[celest goblet]

Yeah and you can collect more Groza in the games than you could probably actually find IRL. Rule of cool

[proven shadow]

Groza is so cursed I love it

[solid prism]

Modders will put it

[full estuary]

Nightmare just begins

[worthy lagoon]

@sand fiber it's all your fault

[hidden stratus]

[spring apex]

hell naw

[proven shadow]

...

[humble pivot]

it's over

[finite dragon]

if there is no stalker then why tf they put that shit in announcement like they gonna show something

[pearl olive]

you didn't see the 'not again again' video?

[humble pivot]

west has fallen again

[fickle flicker]

show's not over yet

[full estuary]

There will be, in the end. Its just milking stalker community to have a lot of viewers till the end

[spring apex]

nah its a joke for 2025 q4 ones

[hazy helm]

yes\

they have yet to show anything for stalker 2

[hidden stratus]

20th March of 2027

[hazy helm]

29 of feb of 2029

[proven shadow]

Lmao

31st of February final release date

[spring apex]

bruh at that point gta 7

[fair jackal]

think of the DP-12 as a double barrel shotgun, but it´s a pump action. you get 2 shots before you need to pump it, it feeds a shell into both barrels when pumped.

the KSG-12 while it has 2 tubes, lets you toggle which one to feed from so you can run buckshot in one tube and then slugs in the other and switch on the fly. it´s pretty neat

[untold salmon]

q5 2025

[ornate rampart]

how much since it's time for S2 at the event?

[full estuary]

I hope Ryan Gosling plays as strelok in s2

[proven shadow]

Did they retconn the artefacts to only work in the Zone ?

[lilac lily]

Sorry, I don't have the hairline to pull that off

[still ridge]

They work outside of the zone but they lose power quickly

[full estuary]

Me neither

[still ridge]

that’s the new artifact lore

Bit of a retcon, but we’ll see

Won’t change gameplay

[ornate rampart]

anyone on this?

[humble pivot]

that's weird

[sharp maple]

who knows

[full estuary]

What is retcon

[humble pivot]

what's the point of going into the zone to look for artifacts if they lose their power outside the zone

[still ridge]

Change something that’s already established like lore

[sharp maple]

to modify the narrative in some way or form from the previous instalments.

[proven shadow]

Why would anyone try to get rich in the zone if artefacts are useless outside of it ? Makes loners a dumb ass faction ngl

[humble pivot]

yeah undermines the point of stalkers a lot

[sharp maple]

You can sell the artifacts in the zone can you not?

[full estuary]

Changing narrative so that some big badie would want to expand the zone

[still ridge]

They’re not useless outside of it. They can be used outside of the zone but they just lose power or something

[proven shadow]

Yeah for 5 rubles.

Thats no way to live and I am quite certain most stalkers dont want to STAY in the zone

[still ridge]

Yeah unless there’s a shower anomaly I wouldn’t want to be in the zone

I mean I wouldn’t want to be in the zone one way or the other

But still, stinky stalkers

[full estuary]

Lets hope they explain this plothole of showering

[finite dragon]

ign is like 80% gay shit and 20% good stuff

[still ridge]

Literally unplayable

[vernal magnet]

im at work today. something after work is possible

[azure vector]

aaa, ok, sry )

[proven shadow]

True af. Those gas masks dont work when the stink is from the inside

[ornate rampart]

ign is like 99% gay shit and 1% good stuff
here, fixed

[finite dragon]

facts

[granite mortar]

IGN is like 100% "noooo, I need fast travel so I can finish the game quicker, if I dont finish it fast enough my wifes boyfriend couldnt watch football on the couch and will be mad at me noooo"
here you go, fixed it

[untold salmon]

Probably interview and maybe a trailer in the end

[main tangle]

[dense hatch]

IGN is just shit

[ornate rampart]

true but even when you have a gay friend who says X game is shit that speaks volumes on how they are pissing off everyone with their agenda

[tender torrent]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 interview in a few minutes

[dense hatch]

I just labeled it as severe incompetence and moved on

[azure vector]

@vernal magnet you know, by the time you get home C2 just until that moment and they will show . (Sorry for english, i use a translator)

[silk sparrow]

its same like yesterday or new one?

[ornate rampart]

yeah fair

[dense hatch]
