This

Also separately it was mentioned they're called Spark lol

[pseudo rivet]

IGN trailer doesn't seem to have it

[proper wyvern]

Wassup my fellow stalkers

[static compass]

I dunno, Mozi mentioned that earlier, I just copied and pasted

[finite dragon]

!?

[pseudo rivet]

Neato

[proper wyvern]

[finite dragon]

Awww😭

[static compass]

Yes, our boi is back

[pseudo rivet]

So, SIRCAA and Ward are Strelok's, Spark is Scar's...

What's Degtyarev's?

[finite dragon]

[static compass]

Military

Getting all 3 of them would truly be a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. moment

[pseudo rivet]

3 protagonists from the Trilogy, 3 factions, 3 endings?

[static compass]

They did say there are 3 endings

So it checks

[finite dragon]

I ！！！

[sly matrix]

@pseudo rivet do bandits hold the road to the army warehouses on the garbage? If so, 2 squads?

[pseudo rivet]

Yes and sometimes

But usually, they beeline for Duty's base

[dense hatch]

zombies

[pseudo rivet]

Oh wait, Road to the Army Warehouses

Yes and sometimes fr

[static compass]

Degtyarev's group is quite literally the FRIENDS HE MADE ALONG THE WAY

[sly matrix]

Thay that point has two bandit squads, as them if they need help

[pseudo rivet]

Uh

[naive fog]

[static compass]

Getting close to being purple

[lethal orchid]

Wtf? Scar faction?

[static compass]

Yep

[lethal orchid]

When was this confirmed?

[static compass]

Earlier today

This

[lethal orchid]

Gyatt

[last moth]

So.. stalker cringe sky is turning 16 today?

[sly matrix]

Scar is fAction-man

[static compass]

And we get Scar returning on the anniversary

[untold salmon]

Scar my beloved

[last moth]

Clear sky taught me not to trust anyone in this world

[static compass]

Good move

[last moth]

Trusting people is a bad move

[static compass]

Except Scar, trust me bro he's back

[dense hatch]

but you forgot, gauss rifle for 800 rubles!

[lethal orchid]

Yeah, you're getting lynched by the whole server for saying that pal

They call it clear sky because it clears every other game in existence

[static compass]

There are many Clear Sky stans in this server

[last moth]

Hell naw, shadow of chernobyl and COP are the best stalkers

[last moth]

I hate that game so much🥰

[static compass]

Stalker 2 is about to take that title

[dense hatch]

CoP is mediocre

the worst thing a game can possibly be

[celest blaze]

Wrong

[static compass]

Oh, here comes D lite

[celest blaze]

CS > SOC > COP

[dense hatch]

it's also boring as hell until the final third

[last moth]

I loved the secondary quests, they are connected to the main quest in a really nice way

[celest blaze]

Whenever people speak CS hatespeech I am summoned

[lethal orchid]

I agree

[last moth]

Soc on top

[dense hatch]

the ONLY thing it has going for it is actually having sidequests

[finite dragon]

At least now the lore that Charon is Scar's worst fate may no longer hold true.

[celest blaze]

CS*

[lethal orchid]

I'd agree if SoC had weapon upgrades

[celest blaze]

The only folks who hate CS suffered from skill issues

[last moth]

Welp, at least SoC has the best atmosphere

[celest blaze]

CS has atmosphere lol

[last moth]

I forgor Tha Best

[celest blaze]

All good

[last moth]

Limask has a really cool atmosphere tbh

[celest blaze]

But at the end of the day all 3 games are great imo

[last moth]

I agree

[celest blaze]

I loved limansk

[last moth]

Limansk's probably the best part of the game

[celest blaze]

Fr I wish we could have explored it more

[last moth]

I've played that part in night

[dense hatch]

the new maps are by far the best part of CS

[static compass]

[last moth]

And.. my god, it's wonderful, one of the best maps so far

[finite dragon]

I think CS is a very interesting game.

[last moth]

It's buggy and, in some parts, annoying

SoC was buggy

But not as like as CS

[finite dragon]

Wait Scar is back?

[last moth]

Scar is back?

[dense hatch]

scar is BACK BABY

[nimble cipher]

phantom.striker has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite dragon]

The console version is almost completely bug fixed. Sure, there are some unnatural aspects, but I prefer CS.😭

[last moth]

They could patch all the bugs in the pc version too😭

[last moth]

SoC was incredibly easier compared to CS somehow😭

[finite dragon]

🫂

[last moth]

I've never played a game SO HARD tbh

[static compass]

Excitement lol

[last moth]

Time to search for Strelok once again

[static compass]

Now we wait for our boy Strelok

[last moth]

I am strelok

[static compass]

[indigo marsh]

@pseudo rivet In the IGN trailer today they basically confirmed the zone is expanding

[last moth]

Can't you see my pfp? I'm clearly strelok

[static compass]

Guys, we found Strelok fr fr

[last moth]

Now, time to rush the CNPP

[finite dragon]

Could it be that all the protagonists of the trilogy will be present?

[pseudo rivet]

Yep, all thanks to Strelok

[static compass]

@vernal magnet You gotta be hype rn my man

[pseudo rivet]

Very likely

[last moth]

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants

[finite dragon]

ＡＷＷＷ!!

[static compass]

Strelok will for sure make an appearance, I dunno about deggy

[indigo marsh]

I mean the least likely one they were to put in the game was Scar. And they have him

[pseudo rivet]

Basically

[static compass]

Good point

[last moth]

It's strelok'ng time.

proceed to strelok all the zone

[indigo marsh]

But its unlikely but possible that they don't put deggie

[static compass]

[static compass]

At the end of the day he's not really a stalker

[dense hatch]

I am once again reminding everyone the final mission of CoP is an escort quest

[static compass]

His only reason for being in the zone was to investigate what happened to the soldiers from operation fairway

[last moth]

Wawawait.. weren't the emissions controlled by the C.C.?

[indigo marsh]

But if he does come it would be really peak to see Deggie and Vova together in HoC since they are both military

[finite dragon]

Major Degtyarev was a colonel or zone observer. 😅

[static compass]

It's on sight if I see Vova Vist again

[indigo marsh]

He was an stalker before being trained by the military to be a military stalker

[dense hatch]

nah

[static compass]

Ah I see

[dense hatch]

they didn't really "control" control the zone

[dense hatch]

wait what where is that said

[indigo marsh]

Nah. My boy Vova didn't do nothin

[dense hatch]

I thought he was trained before getting dropped into the zone

[static compass]

Bro fed me a straight diet of lead for like an hour

[last moth]

The militaries being worse than stalkers be like:

[last moth]

Cordon's military base in CS be like:

[finite dragon]

But I am still interested in Faust. 🥰

[static compass]

Faust seems interesting

[last moth]

I'm curious to know why the emission haven't stopped after strelok strelok'd the C-Conciuones

[static compass]

My guess is that they're out of control at this point

[finite dragon]

This won't end as a dream. /

[last moth]

So.. the emissions could be controlled by a machine like the PSI emitter in Yantar?

[indigo marsh]

#💬┃en_offtop message

[static compass]

Not sure

[flint shoal]

I love hearing "Get out of here, Stalker!" every time i just want to pop by the bar

[tiny olive]

The emission in CNPP cured Scar's larynx

[static compass]

"I said come in, don't stand there!"

[flint shoal]

lmfao

i love old games that have npcs with no voiceline variety

especially when they say it several times in a row

[dense hatch]

they didn't control them for the most part, it was the zone itself for the big ones

[static compass]

Yeah lmao

[dense hatch]

you can tell because they didn't just blast strelok again at the end of SoC

[static compass]

True, they could've stopped him in his tracks and they didn't

[spring apex]

imma play clear sky again to honour the return of scar

its pretty awkward seeing him talk lmao but ehhh

[static compass]

He do be a silly lad

[finite dragon]

What about Mr. Stranger?

[static compass]

He seems less silly, more serious

[spring apex]

"tHe DaRk sIdE oF tHe ZoNe"

[static compass]

Unlike the other silly boy Richter

[fair hatch]

Oh. Wow. Scar's alive....

[dense hatch]

if there's no funny voice acting I'm not buying

[static compass]

Yup

[fair hatch]

And the fact he's(for the most part) sane. Idk how i feel about it. Great to have him back tho.

[static compass]

Well, he seems like he's less sane than he was, but he's still there for the most part lol

[untold salmon]

10 years in the zone after that much death will do things to you

[fair hatch]

Frankly a few screws loose vs melted goop in his skull. I'll take the few screws loose

[untold salmon]

Can't wait to find out what happened to him

[fair hatch]

Likely the emission knocked him out for a couple days. Weeks.

[static compass]

Also 2 emissions and Monolith brainwashing, I'll forgive him if he's a little silly lol

[indigo marsh]

He was always a little silly :3

[static compass]

Indeed

[untold salmon]

Yuh he has to have got monolith'd surely

[tiny olive]

All i can say is maybe... The POV end cutscene that looks at Strelok isn't Scar's

[fair hatch]

Because frankly. Acording to the clear sky bro's. His brain SHOULD have been melted goop after the 3rd emission

[untold salmon]

That was a prediction tho

[fair hatch]

And as we can see. It wasn't correct

[tiny olive]

He probably got the Mark of the Zone, like Degtyarev if that is even canonical.

[untold salmon]

Spark is an interesting faction, I like the uniform, it looks very bright

[fair hatch]

If anything. Maybe Scar is one of the few that has it naturally.

[tiny olive]

And Scar just said

this is just a scar.

[finite dragon]

What's "the Shining Zone" mentioned by Scar(?)?

[fair hatch]

Basically he's saying "All you see is death and horror and destruction"

[lethal orchid]

Dawg they all got the atmosphere

[fair hatch]

"But what if there is a flipside to the zone ?"

[static compass]

We aren't sure yet, we'll probably find out more on release

[indigo marsh]

I remember Lebedev "in a joking mood, eh ?" to scar after one of the emissions

[tiny olive]

2 mysteries solved

- The content of the Tourist Delight

- Scar's Fate, and apparently his voice

[spring apex]

basically freedomer's pov

[finite dragon]

Yes, I think you're right. Thanks!

[dense hatch]

I love scar's dialog, it's the best in the franchise for the player character

[untold salmon]

Was it scar we saw in the cutscene where he guns down 2 ward members and draws a heart in blood?

[indigo marsh]

It was the first one. After the beginning cutscene ends

[untold salmon]

Because that guys beard looked darker

[fair hatch]

Scar allways had humor. Just you know... the looming threat of DEATH and an unexpected one unlike a gunfight will sour JUUUUUST about anyone and everyone

[tiny olive]

We could still count if Scar got brainwashed, and lost it in the process like any monolithians.

His uniform is vaguely Monolithish, or maybe just the usual Clear Sky attire but more olive green

[fair hatch]

Frankly i could see him just playing along

If he could survive 2 damn emissions. Maybe the just couldn't hack his brain

[static compass]

It's just the basic leather jacket I think

[fair hatch]

Technically he shoulda survived 3 emissions at that point.

[dense hatch]

I mean monolith members have a fully monotone voice

well, did

"I don't give a rat's ass" is peak

[finite dragon]

Everyone is talking about Scar and I'm glad I'm one of his fans.

[fair hatch]

Well yes. Just the whole "as himself" or "as a monolithian" is the question here

[tiny olive]

Scar: can't find any cover during the emission and got hit

Also Scar: "Tis but a scar"

[fair hatch]

Not infignificant

[dense hatch]

hey he might've found cover

[fair hatch]

Not impossible

[dense hatch]

somehow with how close the hospital was and depending on where he was sniping from

[tiny olive]

He ODed on Vodka

He passed out. Improvised anabiotic

[fair hatch]

Unlikely ? Maybe. But there is allways the chance he got in jusst enough cover to save his brains

[tiny olive]

Jk

[fair hatch]

On that note

We don't actually know. Would it be enough to just have your head in cover ? Or all of you has to be in cover so your just not fried ?

[indigo marsh]

My interpretation is that the zone has horrifying monster and anomalies yet in places like the swamps before the giant emission there is safety and also it is very calming (Still is during CS when the fighters are not screaming at you) and they seek to find/make the zone into more of that

[fair hatch]

Like. Is there any information anywhere on "how" emissions kill you ?

[untold salmon]

The zone uncorrupted by greed (possibly why he dislikes siirca)

[fair hatch]

I allways assumed it just basically causes a biological version of an EMP in a human

[untold salmon]

It would fry the neurons in your brain pretty much

[dense hatch]

I don't think the player ever sees someone caught out in an emission

[static compass]

Pure zone

[finite dragon]

Thank you!
Perhaps his usual dark sense of humor?

[fair hatch]

So we dunno "how" exactly people die from emissions

[indigo marsh]

I think it is the body being torn apart by pure energy released by the emission

[static compass]

Something like that, with your nervous system

[untold salmon]

Something something electrical signals in the brain

[static compass]

Well you can see Skif starts basically having a seizure in the bolts and bullets trailer

[untold salmon]

I would imagine it pretty much gives you a seizure

A prolonged seizure can straight up just kill you

Or just a seizure in general really

[static compass]

Yeah, I think Skif gets pulled inside quick enough

[untold salmon]

Chances are the main reason emissions are so deadly isn't because its instant death, but because as you seize you just can't move, shits probably a drawn out process

[static compass]

Death by emission has to suck

And Scar survived two of those

Plus seizures can lead to brain damage, which would explain why he might act a little silly

[untold salmon]

Yup

[static compass]

I'm just excited he's back

[untold salmon]

Definitely siding with him on the first playthrough

[static compass]

For sure

And he's homies with Richter

I wonder if Richter is a loner or if he's with Scar's group

[wide flume]

But are they homies with strider

[static compass]

True as well

Probably

[wide flume]

Hopefully

[static compass]

Scar go brrrr

I gotta get veteran status

I'm literally so close lmao

[shadow pecan]

So is my game messed up or is it normal to have no audible footsteps when using the PSZ-9Md suit?

[static compass]

That the duty suit?

You should have footsteps regardless of the suit

[shadow pecan]

I think? It's the special Seva shit I got from a side mission

Yea, I kinda figured. It's only with this suit. Weird

[static compass]

Odd

But yeah, I'd say it's just an audio bug

[shadow pecan]

Maybe an ZRP thing? I don't know. Sucks too because I like the suit but the no footsteps thing puts me off

[static compass]

I just love that suit because the night vision

It's much better than the green night vision

[dense hatch]

I'm at rank 23 I think

[static compass]

You too are getting there

I've been blue forever lol

[tiny olive]

How long is the gauss rifle?

[still ridge]

Long

[tiny olive]

[static compass]

One of those long boi guns

[tiny olive]

I'm going to make a downscaled replica

[static compass]

[tiny olive]

Probably turn it into a keychain. Finally got a proper dremel

[static compass]

I'd like a keychain of an artifact tbh

Or just get to see more faction patches after the game releases lol

[tiny olive]

The patch for Noon

[static compass]

Or Ward

We haven't seen the Spark patch yet

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'VE DONE IT, AND WITH A FOX STICKER NO LESS

[static compass]

I have ascended

[dense hatch]

it's over

pack it up pack it in

[static compass]

I'm gonna sleep or something now, I've been in this discord all day trying to level up lmao

[dense hatch]

let me begin

honestly there needs to be more the black keys stalker montages

howling for you would go extremely hard

[static compass]

[dense hatch]

there aren't any good SoC montages in like at all

it's all anomaly for some reason and some random funk

there just aren't really any good stalker montages in general

one of the top results is 11 years old

[indigo marsh]

Congratulations 🎉🥳

[static compass]

It's an honor to join the purple squad

[indigo marsh]

Purple gang 🔝

Unless I become orange

Then it will be orange 🔝

[hidden stratus]

Still crazy how my precious is alive and well

[dense hatch]

hey why are the comments in the yantar CS combat music about some other video game

[static compass]

I just got purple, I got a long way to go until orange lol

[dense hatch]

aren't the songs still copyrighted

[hidden stratus]

congrats

[static compass]

Thank you

[indigo marsh]

[hidden stratus]

You are above those blue names now

[indigo marsh]

Scar best protag

[indigo marsh]

[static compass]

What songs?

[lethal orchid]

Also in your face @sand fiber

The new trailer implies the zone IS actually expanding, so the C Con were right and C Con ending was morally correct

[static compass]

C-Con got strelok'd

[hidden stratus]

And the best for the zone entirely. Who knows if C-con could've done something in the zone. Maybe even get rid of it

[static compass]

They caused it, so it would make sense that they could try and get rid of it

But they can't now

[hidden stratus]

Dont forget how one of the trailers showed the vats in which the c-con members were in

Might be related to one of the endings

[static compass]

That's true, makes me think we'll be going in that room for some reason

[dense hatch]

I seriously doubt the people who made the zone by hitting it with a hammer are being 100% truthful

[lethal orchid]

But they were also the only ones capable of undoing their mistake, or at least holding it back

It's pretty obvious that they have a much higher degree of control over the noosphere than your avg stalker

truthful or not, they shouldn't have been killed

That's why I joined them in my SoC playthrough

[dense hatch]

THEY DIDN'T THOUGH

[finite dragon]

Congratulations 🎉

[dense hatch]

it's very clear they don't know what they're doing because they haven't stopped or reduced the zone AT ALL

[hidden stratus]

apostrophes on the word holding, because even though its considered true by most players that they have some ability to hold it back it was never directly confirmed

[dense hatch]

if anything it's getting worse regardless!

they can't control emissions, and they're basically just piggybacking onto the brain scorcher and miracle machine

[lethal orchid]

They kept it stable bruh

[hidden stratus]

That for sure is true by logic alone

[dense hatch]

did they?

[lethal orchid]

It only got worse when they died

[dense hatch]

didn't the zone expand at least once by this point

might be thinking of the folklore though

[lethal orchid]

folklore

[finite dragon]

I don't know how the name colors will change, but I envy you all for being so colorful.

[lethal orchid]

I would totally be fine with monolith faction existing and no CNPP if it meant the noosphere was under control, or even a chance that it was under control

[hidden stratus]

lvl 25 you get veteran rank, 50 master and 75 legend i think

[dense hatch]

oh right during the first emission I forgot

[lethal orchid]

Because a few thousand stalkers <<< Every human on the planet

[static compass]

Thanks!

[static compass]

When you hit level 25 yours will change from blue to purple

Veteran rank

[dense hatch]

yeah when they first cracked the glass with an emission the zone expanded by 5 kilometers

besides when they first made the zone by being stupid idiots

[finite dragon]

Not enough levels at all. ......

[celest blaze]

i got like 16 levels to get to master

[static compass]

You've got 11 to go, you'll get there

[dense hatch]

there's also the fact they just aren't particularly good at keeping people out whatsoever

[celest blaze]

@static compassbased purple

[dense hatch]

burple

[hidden stratus]

theres some other roles but idk what they did to get them

[static compass]

Nuka_Fox [Officially Based]
???

[celest blaze]

soon

[static compass]

[finite dragon]

🙏Thank you!

[celest blaze]

fr its not like they set up berlin wall level security

[hidden stratus]

Well they had a damn antenna that melted your brain but yeah

[indigo marsh]

It's 15 for me but I am around 1k from 36

[celest blaze]

oh i mean to keep people from entering at all

[dense hatch]

that was turned off

[celest blaze]

like the cordon looks lightly guarded

[celest blaze]

based

[indigo marsh]

We are around the same level

[lethal orchid]

if they really cared, they'd blast everyone at the cordon

[static compass]

Orange is 45?

[celest blaze]

also this lol

[lethal orchid]

But they did have Vova Vist

[dense hatch]

leading to a full military task force and some random gopnik killing most of the monolith

[static compass]

And then it's legend of the zone?

I know Sir Crimson is yellow rank

[indigo marsh]

I mean they do ... It's just they suck at it

[hidden stratus]

50

[indigo marsh]

That's at 70

[dense hatch]

literal years

[finite dragon]

I could go on and on about Faust and Scar all day~ (jk)

[static compass]

Ah, that'll take a while lol

[hidden stratus]

Just boost for light pink

[static compass]

What about Richter?

[static compass]

Does that stay even if you aren't boosting?

[dense hatch]

no

[indigo marsh]

Also even for the ISPF which seems better equipped have struggled with it but that might be because of an expanding zone

[hidden stratus]

nah i dont think so. but there was a glitch several months ago for Opera GX that pretty much gave you infinite discord nitro

[finite dragon]

He thinks he's a pretty boy. 😊

[hidden stratus]

Richter will def die in S2

[dense hatch]

I'm glad the c-con are probably mostly dead

[celest blaze]

I wonder if flint survived

[indigo marsh]

Then it's time to finish the mission

[static compass]

GSC wouldn't do me dirty like that

He's the homie

[indigo marsh]

insert Flint emoji

[hidden stratus]

He dont got what it takes to survive in the zone, he will either hit the grave or leave

[static compass]

He'll be ok lol

[wide flume]

What if richter is flint

[celest blaze]

I'll happily kill him

Flint is an OPP

[lethal orchid]

ON SIGHT

[wide flume]

YES SIR

Scar I could never

Scar my pooks

[lime gull]

So glad they finally gave us info on Scar. I'm so glad we're finally going to find out how he became Charon ❤️

[wary cosmos]

Hello my fellow hunters

Any word on the physical version?

[lethal orchid]

no, Scar MY pooks

[static compass]

Nah, he's just Scar

[dim topaz]

The real Faust is the friends we made along the way

[worthy lagoon]

The Faust i know

https://tenor.com/view/faust-gif-12478501275459632096

[dim topaz]

I wonder what will keep people away from the heart of the zone now that Monolith are gone, brain scorcher is cooked, C-con is presumed dead, etc.

And the map being more free to walk around

[dense hatch]

nothing

[static compass]

We gotta get to the HEART OF CHORNOBYL

[finite dragon]

日本語で失礼します。
本当にFaustの事もScarもお気に入りのキャラクターなので、早く詳細が知りたいです。

[worthy lagoon]

Faust doesn't know

[finite dragon]

😭

[worthy lagoon]

😭

[finite dragon]

I Faust and Scar…😢

[still ridge]

Faust SUX

Strider is better

[finite dragon]

I love all the characters in all the Stalker series. They are all my favorites. And of course the mutants! 🥰

[sand fiber]

doesn't mean that C-con is morally correct or would fix the issue :3

[lethal orchid]

It's at least a chance I'd be willing to take

[broken latch]

You like Flint?

[sand fiber]

if S2 tries to vindicate C-con it's alright but SoC always had it that C-con is an evil group :S

[lethal orchid]

A couple hundred stalkers getting their brains fried is a lot better than a 50/50 chance of them being incorrect

And presumably the zone killing literally everyone

Even if it's a 1% chance

[lime gull]

I suspect the firestorm of infighting between factions, anomalies and monstrocities.

[lethal orchid]

Or .1%, the expected value is just too high

Since you stand to lose everything, once again

[lime gull]

I suspect SIRCAA is secretly trying to make C-con 2

[sand fiber]

that was the S2012 plot, which i don't think they'll be using

[lime gull]

Just because the first draft was spoiled doesn't mean you toss away the literature 😉

[finite dragon]

He's one of my favorites, too, because lying is not a good idea, but he gets the punishment he deserves later.

[lime gull]

It's possible they'll have more depth than that.

I suspect that you can 'side' with them.

although I have no clue I am just making assumptions

[lethal orchid]

Bruh kinda spoilers

I was avoiding reading about S2012 just in case dawg

[lime gull]

Well, it's unlikely to be true so it's hard to call it spoilers

it's honestly just my assumption based off trailers of S2 that came out recently

there's a scene that shows 'siding' with Sircaa and an alternate with you fighting them. So, it could be an old build... or it could be that they are alternate paths.

[broken latch]

Already confirmed S2 isn't following plot of 2012

[lethal orchid]

Right

[lethal orchid]

Yes but there may be elements

[warm linden]

Scar boss fight boutta be wild (if he's a enemy in game) @sand fiber

[lethal orchid]

You lose 10/10 times

[broken latch]

Rh

[lethal orchid]

Only chance is to wait for him to die of old age

[broken latch]

I don't like how he's acting, in clear sky his profile picture in inventory was bad ass

Now he's like a redditor that just entered the zone

[static compass]

You're basing his personality off his picture?

He was always a little goofy in his dialogue all the way back in CS

[lime gull]

Streloc manifests and caps his ass before he gets to you

[lethal orchid]

Bruh strelok lost in CS even with OP gear

[hidden stratus]

As if Scar didnt manhandled him last time

[lethal orchid]

And that's pre amnesia strelok, imagine him now

[warm linden]

To me Scar was my favourite cause everytime he's given a task he'd be like
Okay
Then do it and cure cancer in the process

[static compass]

Yeah lmao, I'm just glad we're getting him back after so long

[warm linden]

Now Strelok has the full support of USS (if I'm remembering the name correctly)
So he's gonna be a bit tougher

[lethal orchid]

Scar solos

[hidden stratus]

"Oh you're finally awake! You survived an emission, impressive! Now go fight our war and massacre camps of bandits for us"

[warm linden]

"okay"
Makes it to CNPP
How did we get here?

[static compass]

Strelok vs Scar part 2 about to be nuts

[warm linden]

This is what Black Myth Wukong tried to achieve

[hidden stratus]

I don't know
Let's shoot helicopters out of the sky

[warm linden]

At least in ABR they required me to use a RPG instead of just shooting the thing down with a pistol lol

[finite dragon]

Matt will be happy to hear that Scar is back.

[static compass]

I'm just happy that I achieved veteran rank today

[hidden stratus]

Oh yeah, what happened to The Lore Keeper? Haven't seen him here in a minute

[warm linden]

Scar forced him to retire

[hidden stratus]

Must've been deserved then

[finite dragon]

I heard that he is busy with his private life. But I'm sure I'll be back

[warm linden]

Still though
150gb for s2
Very scary

[broken latch]

I wanted scar to be badass

Is that so much to ask?

[static compass]

We've only seen a couple seconds of him

The first time they showed him he dropped two ward dudes and painted a blood heart on a wall lol

[broken latch]

People fall in love in first few seconds, I fell in love with the idea of scar being back, not this

[broken latch]

What

[hidden stratus]

What is your ideal Scar in S2

[broken latch]

I completely stopped watching trailers cuz less spoilers

[static compass]

Oh

[broken latch]

Dead space 1 Issac Clarke

[hidden stratus]

Well since he spoiled it then his first appearance was in the deep dive believe it or not. Right under our nose

[wet lark]

Scars in stalker 2?

[static compass]

|| Well, we didn't know he was Scar the first time they showed him but yeah, this ||

How do I put spoiler filter on

[hidden stratus]

that lil eye thing

[prisma goblet]

In the last trailer we see Scar's POV walking in the corridor where stalkers are brainwashed. Also, in Strider trailer we see Strider's POV after the brainscorcher was disabled. Do you guys think that we will be able to play these characters in flashbacks?

[wet lark]

|| at the beginning and end of your sentence

[hidden stratus]

||or just edit, highlight and click the eye||

[static compass]

Ugh

I'm on a phone

[hidden stratus]

The strider one feels more like a cutscene, but the Scar one is def gameplay

[hidden stratus]

Hold the text after you edit then

[static compass]

Got it

[wet lark]

||like this .|| but without the space and period

[static compass]

So silent? Lol

[wet lark]

I give up

[static compass]

I feel like this is usually an issue when you take a previously silent protagonist and give them a voice and personality

[static compass]

I figured it out thank you lol

[wet lark]

Yeah i was tryna make it not work but well that was useless😭

[static compass]

[gloomy knoll]

Dead space remake with a voiced Isaac clarke was poggers.

[static compass]

Yee, but I'm just saying, you take a blank slate character like Scar, and give him his own motivations and such, some people may dislike it

Since now he's got a voice and all that, takes away from the control the player had over his personality in Clear Sky

I think he looks great personally

[visual chasm]

I hope we get more lore about the Mercs

My personal theory is that they're NATO/CIA funded

[warm linden]

huh, so Scar didn't get brainwashed
did he escape then? or did he resist the brainwashing?

[gloomy knoll]

Shouldnt be too bad of a feedback, often it pisses people off if the silent char you control over the course of several games suddenly starts speaking and brings annoying comments. In this case it just takes a PC to a NPC

[warm linden]

although I like the new trailer
anomalies are appearing outside of the zone
oh no @static compass

[gloomy knoll]

Well if he draws blood hearts I'd say he doesnt need brainwashing because he's a little gaga

[static compass]

We aren't sure yet, he's a little goofy but surviving 2 emissions and being brainwashed by Monolith is bound to knock some screws loose

[static compass]

Yee, big yikes for the implications that has on the outside world

[warm linden]

Better than monolith brainwashing I suppose, I'm more excited to see the place we see at the end of CS

[static compass]

Which place

[warm linden]

Does it have to do with C-Con's death since they said they were containing the zone?

[warm linden]

End of CS, there's a cutscene showing a hallway of bodies and strelok is among them

[static compass]

Ohhhh the hallway with the screens

[warm linden]

ye

[static compass]

Yeah, that's gonna be cool

[warm linden]

although based off the amount of bodies, it's pretty clear very few make it through recruitment

[gloomy knoll]

Prob most others turn into zombos if they survive

[static compass]

Yeah, I'd say a combination of Monolith soldiers and zombies

[gloomy knoll]

Could have something to do with natural Psy resistance and all

[sand fiber]

Scar 8 hour unskippable sex-scene

[gloomy knoll]

Nozar stop

[warm linden]

[gloomy knoll]

This aint a NSFW channel!!!!

[warm linden]

THIS IS WHAT THE 142 GIGS WERE FOR

[static compass]

Don't forget about the || Strelok x Sidorovich NSFW!! ||

[sand fiber]

old man yaoi???

[sand fiber]

can you imagine what izlom is able to do with his long hand...

[static compass]

Alright settle down now

[wet lark]

Same vibe as the rumored twins scene from atomic heart

[prisma goblet]

Scar my beloved

I always thought Scar was a grumpy boomer

GSC is feeding us good food

[finite dragon]

Have a good day STALKERZ be well

[prisma goblet]

Have a nice life

[broken latch]

I did not watch it

Only saw a small clip

Looked like anomaly idk

[broken latch]

Exactly

[hidden stratus]

Well if you are avoiding spoilers #⭐┃nospoilers_general isn't a good alternative.

[prisma goblet]

So 4 endings... What do you choose?
Strider's ending?
Faust's ending ?
Spark's ending?
Or Wards ending?

[gloomy knoll]

Controllers can just Take Control over anyone they Fancy

[warm linden]

guh?

[lethal orchid]

Probably strider?

[toxic vector]

all endings are good if none of them are woke contents

my biggest fear after seeing woke spread like a plague in gaming industry

[gloomy knoll]

Well they can be woke aslong as its not making the ending stupid

[grim vector]

Why 4? Ievhen Hryhorovych told there were 3

[prisma goblet]

I searched on google

[prisma goblet]

I hope Strelok is trans

[worn oar]

Oh yeah

[toxic vector]

Strelok already get out of the zone, we dont care about him anymore

[wet lark]

Shouldnt he be like, super old by stalker 2

[worn oar]

Scar clearly is against SIRCAA he mentioned the institute in the trailer

[worn oar]

Nope, it's a decade, not 30 years hehe

[prisma goblet]

Stalker has always been woke.. hundreds of men in a small place like the zone....

[wet lark]

Hes still gonna be really old tho, wasnt he like 40 in cs?

[prisma goblet]

50 is not that old

And he looks 50 in the trailer

[nimble saddle]

I really like his demeanor

man imagine if we can witness Strelok and Scar in one room..

[finite dragon]

I'm sure it will be delicious. 😋 I want to throw Faust into it.

[nimble saddle]

i have a feeling that ghost or fang or even both might be in the game..

[jaunty junco]

please say sike

[nimble saddle]

There might be a really bad explanation for their appearance like, 'it wasn't his corpse it was a decoy'.

[nimble saddle]

No.

[jaunty junco]

theyre both dead

[nimble cipher]

kalashnjkov has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cyan canopy]

oh come on scar is enough to be alive

[jaunty junco]

Im curious about Zulu tbh

Nimble better be in stalker 2

[spring creek]

of course he will be!

[cyan canopy]

he always there

[spring creek]

he's ALWAYS there!!

[cyan canopy]

he always come back and lucky no matter what

[jaunty junco]

I want to see if cardan and nitro ended up making that vehicle

[cyan canopy]

i dont think vehicle would be added though

[jaunty junco]

Im not saying that

[toxic vector]

the bandit can import prostitue from outside to their base, you know

[jaunty junco]

i meant not as in you can drive it

[toxic vector]

military can have female medic

[jaunty junco]

idk just something to indicate theyve been working or worked on something

[spring creek]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/7/7a/Ialwayscomeback.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20180120130311

[cyan canopy]

so true

[toxic vector]

egg head can have female assistant

[spring creek]

there are no women in the zone
they don't like it there

[toxic vector]

what about loner? there are female one in mod already

[jaunty junco]

anomaly is slop

[cyan canopy]

-Mercenaries

[cyan canopy]

Hip is not real,its just illusion

[jaunty junco]

a cardboard cutout has more personality than Hip

takes like 50,000 to get her to follow you, gold digger

[spring creek]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message
such a beautifully succint explanation for why there are no women in the zone XD

[tiny olive]

Bandit behavior

[lethal orchid]

I thought he was the c con representative with the green lighting lmfao

[worn oar]

Let me guess? Anomaly

There are plenty of mods out there that adds female NPCs. Anomaly is just the mainstream one

[worthy lagoon]

OP 2.2

I'd force GAMMA and Anomaly players to play OP 2.2

That'd be torture ik

[worn oar]

Anything other than anomaly will automatically be bad

In their eyes

As you know, granma is better than S2

[quiet sparrow]

False I still enjoy all other games, even dumpsterfires like chernoblite

[worn oar]

Oh then you are one of a 1000.

[loud gate]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/830078583275651145/1276239103691722884/handshakelow.gif

[deft stirrup]

i believe it is him but problem is

he doesnt look TOO similar to him besides the fact he has a hood on and it is shown scar never took it off

well its almost too obvious it is scar since they show that scene then they show the monolith brainwash thingy from the end of CS so it all adds up

[solid dome]

Scarface appears

[frank egret]

ahhhhh

cocaine bear in stalker

[grim palm]

Scar is actually Magpie telling tall tales again

[frank egret]

Scar doesn’t have a scar anymore because he shot degartyev and ate the heart of the oasis

[celest canyon]

Now we know why Skif entered the Zone: he saw an Anomaly outside. Could it mean that the Zone is expanding?

[grim palm]

The zone is zoning out

[deft stirrup]

where is scar s2 emoji

[somber hawk]

"do you know the dead sea?"
"yes"
"i killed"

[solid dome]

The zone is shaping into a greater Zone.

[celest canyon]

How many months left? oooof

[dawn grotto]

hmm

[nimble saddle]

It was always expanding, but he might saw it somewhere far away and isn't considered the zone

[dawn grotto]

alot of people said the human ai is gonna bad even though they haven't seen it and thought of it because it hasn't been shown

[loud gate]

3, 89 days

[dawn grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJvU4WY3i8 now is shown what do you guys think : D

[celest canyon]

I think last time I mentioned expanding, someone said there was no proof of such a thing. I think this was a proof, finding an Anomaly outside of the perimeter.

[dawn grotto]

look pretty much like normal stalker ai for me

[solid dome]

About 7,725,620 seconds

[celest canyon]

I really hope my system can handle it.

[dawn grotto]

it will emit radiation too

[solid dome]

It'll require couple restarts and new cooling device

Everyone's brain module will self-restart due to the excessive information calculation

[celest canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/tobey-maguire-sad-wah-wahh-cry-gif-9402795838594520117

Time to go buy a backup brain

Make sure its USB-Type C and supports plug-n-play

[deft stirrup]

u can buy an adapter

[solid dome]

Also secure yourself an UPS

My boy krezzin

[deft stirrup]

[high fable]

Just finished the playtest at gamescom

[naive fog]

How was it

[high fable]

Was great, i encountered my first bug "anomaly"

[naive fog]

[pseudo rivet]

Ooo, what was it?

[high fable]

Last cutscene had my pistol go invisible and when i picked up a rifle it was way below my hands

[naive fog]

[pseudo rivet]

Cutscene Moment

[high fable]

Lean was default bound to y and c

Threw me off a bit

[naive fog]

Hell nah

[pseudo rivet]

Ayo what? Sounds pretty ew

[high fable]

Might have been someone else binding it to that before me though

[naive fog]

As long as z is for crouch

[high fable]

Bad news.....

[naive fog]

Jk I play around with keybinds a bit

[pseudo rivet]

Control (+ Shift) for me

[naive fog]

Control is my normal

But idk z is my favourite....too much metro

[high fable]

X is no longer the run key ....

[loud gate]

you mean Z and C?

my friend Tlap said that were the lean controls.

[hazy helm]

options>keybinds

[high fable]

Sorry, german keyboard, used to y and z being switched

[hazy helm]

we can make it work baby

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds way more logical, but still hella ew

[loud gate]

Okey)

[pseudo rivet]

What's Q and E then?

[loud gate]

Consumables.

[high fable]

Q and e is quick access

[loud gate]

You have 4. First Q is one tap. Holding it is the 2nd.

[pseudo rivet]

What's F1, 2, 3 and 4 then?

[high fable]

Didnt try them

[pseudo rivet]

Of course, now it also being for console...

[loud gate]

Nothing.

[loud gate]

doesn't affect PC control scheme.

[pseudo rivet]

Cringé

X as heck

[high fable]

Just funny default controls, il switch them around anyways

[deft stirrup]

[high fable]

ALSO... the yellow paint has struck

[hazy helm]

x is the superior run key for any game that has low crouch

[pseudo rivet]

Same, at least the Trilogy keybinds made sense. They were PEAK

[high fable]

Ladders were yellow

[pseudo rivet]

Ah yes, the color of handholding

Wait...

[naive fog]

Fire select tho

[hazy helm]

0

or

[pseudo rivet]

And 9?

[naive fog]

Nooooooooo

[hazy helm]

use gods fire selector

fire in bursts or singles yourself

skill issue

[pseudo rivet]

Real, yet realn't

[high fable]

Coffee break over

[pseudo rivet]

Good luck

I just wish we had the ability to "Drop Weapon" like in the Trilogy

Can be a lifesaver

[solid dome]

Gimme your STALKER 2, bwich, @granite coral !!!

For I beat yo ass when you are on you way home

[hardy bear]

They should keep it on G just to confuse modern gamers who want to throw a nade

[dim topaz]

How did the gameplay feel compared to the originals? Movement, shooting, etc.

[dim topaz]

Only 89 days now... It was 110 a while ago. Time is crazy man

[worthy lagoon]

Do we?

[solid dome]

No more drop?

You be lying. YOU. BE. LYING.

[dim topaz]

Unironically who used that feature outside of accidentally pressing the key for it

[solid dome]

Ironically, the fact we speak about it makes it unironically fu...

fuck, bring back my Drop Weapon key!

I wanna drop, I wanna bop!

[worthy lagoon]

It's a good way to quickly lose weight in case for sprinting

[dim topaz]

Ivan shush, do you want them to delay the game for another 2 months to implement it?

[solid dome]

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be awesome

[pseudo rivet]

From what I know, no

[solid dome]

Delay the game to clean the yellow paint and implement No Gamma disclaimer

[dim topaz]

Gammarn't

[solid dome]

Gamma me disappointed

[pseudo rivet]

Me to finish off an enemy

[dim topaz]

Man I wish someone made a real multiplayer stalker, like that dumpster fire survarium was supposed to be

[solid dome]

Crimson used Drop Weapon feature to drop the accordion and UNPACK THE LETHAL CANNONS like the scene in Zorro

Or was it El Mariachi?
I dont remember

[vital pagoda]

hey guys cant yall help me, i cant turn off ||the brain scorcher|| because there is no lever to turn it off

[solid dome]

You can't turn off the MOZG-1, it's remotely operated from outside the Zone

[dim topaz]

Yes there is, the prompt is just hard to get ti appear

Wiggle around a bit near the control panel

[worthy lagoon]

Ok but serious talks

We have Scar

[solid dome]

Do not turn off MOZG-1. It'll lead to sudden rise of body count.

[worthy lagoon]

Ok nice

But where Vova

[solid dome]

Bloodsucker me nice

[vital pagoda]

okay thanks

[pseudo rivet]

We have Spark

My decision is already made for me

I mean, come on

[high fable]

Felt pretty "stalker" of course more modern but id say it felt great

[pseudo rivet]

You're telling me there's a faction called Spark that hates Ward AND is led by Scar? Sign me up

[high fable]

A bloodsucker was running on all 4s so that caught me offguard aswell

[granite mortar]

[dim topaz]

Did you experience any A-life stuff that stood out in particular?

[crisp ruin]

[wooden girder]

Looks like all the theories about scar are useless now 🤣

[brazen pond]

Anyone know what the best drug is to sleep until Nov 20?

[dim topaz]

Have kids

[brazen pond]

Hahaha, hell no.

I'm 32, it's too late for kids.

[granite mortar]

Goldsphere

[dim topaz]

How is 32 too late for that

[brazen pond]

Because it's too old. You get children around 15-25.

Imo

[dim topaz]

15 bro where do you live saudi arabia?

[brazen pond]

Hahaha, Sweden.

[granite mortar]

marekd one
wat de heeeell

[brazen pond]

I just personally wanted to have kids early so I stay young and have the energy.

[granite mortar]

[dim topaz]

Life never goes to plan eh
But still 32 is still good imo. You'll be 51-52 by the time your kid reaches adulthood

[brazen pond]

I guess. I'll let God decide.

STALKER 2 > Family.

[spring apex]

ayoo ??

[solid dome]

Get the rope

[spring apex]

idk how the person after will react in gamescom demo playtest if i were to play there. my movement button is esdf, fire button is space bar and lean left/right using mouse left/right click lol

[brazen pond]

🤔

[solid dome]

Get the...rope.

Pass him the rope @granite mortar Then bring it back to me, I need it too

[granite mortar]

[brazen pond]

I have one already setup

[granite mortar]

I got no rope, unless you mean the one Jekan uses in Godsphere to climb the wall to Yantar factory

[solid dome]

Yours weak @brazen pond

We hang ourselves from the top of the CNPP chimney @brazen pond

[solid dome]

Pinky swear? @brazen pond

[worn oar]

The automatic F equip was peak. One can simply run and pick up a weapon after dropping his, and hope for the gun to be loaded in an emergency fight situation. I hope it's still a thing for real 😦 . I mean if not, I hope it makes it to the retail version.

[worn oar]

Based level +99999 just for that

[solid dome]

Rahmi, we join forces with Scar to take the scum out of the Prostitute called Institute. We bring that shithole down!

[worn oar]

Definitely

[solid dome]

[worn oar]

Now that scar is back, ik what path I'm going to take in my first playthrough

Scar knows skif from richter The gang of 3 based individuals is the only choice

Fuck the ward

And the rest of them

[dire dagger]

Are you at games com

[worn oar]

My boys richter and scar are the bwst

[worn oar]

Nope

[dire dagger]

Oh rip

[worn oar]

We have 2 friends there tho

And 1 extra brother from stoc

[loud gate]

Not me, my cousin, he's the one taking the photos

[high fable]

The playtest was mostly scripted, its the introduction and the first quest so not much A-life stuff

[solid dome]

How do you imagine Romanians can afford even

[worn oar]

Did they allow pictures this time?

Or it's just press stuff

[loud gate]

Of course, not inside the booth.

[loud gate]

Press is not allowed either.

[worn oar]

hehe figured

Well, at least we are getting good feedback

[high fable]

I loved it

Im out now, in the busd heading to the parking lot

[worn oar]

I'm really really happy with the current game state

We are there boys

GSC made it

As promised

[high fable]

I died to the tunnel anomaly like twice because i had to get used to the controls and couldnt figure out where the flashlight was lol

Embarassing

[worn oar]

Man, here is the thing!! Dying, being lost again in the zone, and reverting back to that time you was a rookie is the best thing to happen.

[high fable]

I also had to knife some of the bandits

[high fable]

Absolutely

[hardy bear]

Also like the setup of there being anomalies outside the zone to kick off the story

[worn oar]

We are all rookies again, until we tame the new zone boys

[high fable]

Brb Bus stop

[dim topaz]

thanks a bunch for the infos bro
the hype is real as real can be--- my inner 14 year old is screaming

[deft stirrup]

Scar trailer

[high fable]

My playtest litteraly went like my first time playing stalker

[loud gate]

No romanian subtitles this time

[granite mortar]

[high fable]

Ran into anomaly 4 times

Ran out of ammo and stab some bandit in desperation

Panic with a blood sucker

AND encountering a bug

It was great

[loud gate]

I think, it's possible for community to add subtitles? It was a thing of YT in the past, I believe.

[sly matrix]

🪲

[granite mortar]

Youtube deleted that

now theres only automatic and uploader made ones

[dim topaz]

my first playthrough of SoC, I remember my pc was so trash the skybox didn't render properly, it was like the old bug on windows where you dragged a thing and it multiplied lol

[high fable]

I actually panicked HARD with the blood sucker lol since it moved so diffrently to what i was used to

[spring apex]

did it go invisible

[high fable]

Yes

[dim topaz]

how tanky was it?

[spring apex]

nice

[high fable]

I missed like all my shots because it was running on all 4s sometimes when in its semi invisible state

I finished it off with pistol

It goes invisible and runs circles around you, trying to get behind you

Moved alot diffrently to classic bloodsuckers

[dim topaz]

[spring apex]

can't imagine how hard chimeras will be

[high fable]

It also got the drop on me for the first hit so

[dim topaz]

That sounds awesome.
OG they were really easy to kill once you got past the initial shock

[high fable]

Also a flesh LEAPED at me

They throw themselves at you to attack

[spring apex]

in OG you can just outrun it

[dim topaz]

How were the ragdolls?

[spring apex]

were your starting weapons in demo like ak and pmm or something?

[high fable]

Didnt really pay attention to it but a bandit i shanked got flung a little

[high fable]

Pmm and you find a rifle half way through

I missed all my rifle shots on the bloodsucker

Partially because i wasnt used to the sensitivity but mostly because it scared theshit out of me

[spring apex]

[dim topaz]

Did you look at the weapon / armor stats in detail?

[high fable]

Not really but i did take a look at the pda map

[dim topaz]

oh shit?

[high fable]

It was kind of split into sections im guessing you can view quests by hovering over the sections or something

Or maybe switch to a more detail version of specific sections maybe, didnt play around with it that much

We had 27 mins so i didnt have much time to pay attention to specifics

But i got through the entire playtest

[dim topaz]

27? damn, stingy much?

[high fable]

Cant wait for the full game, the playtest just fueled my hype for it even more

[high fable]

I finished the playtest with like 40 seconds left on the clock

[dim topaz]

your playtest fueled my hype too dw Man November can't come soon enough

[cyan canopy]

Again,Scar wasnt in that room

[high fable]

No goodie bag this time though ):

[gloomy knoll]

Cant wait for psycho scar

[cyan canopy]

Theories has been solved

[dim topaz]

So Lebedev's theory about Scar being rekt after a second emission has been proven incorrect lol? Now they just straight blackmailed him into working for them

[cyan canopy]

Matpat dont need to cover it again

[high fable]

I was hoping the new stalker energy flavour would be there to grab like last time but sadly no

[celest blaze]

i feel leb was just wrong peak sky would never blackmail

[gloomy knoll]

Well i mean they suspected it,and we dont know yet how He survived

[granite mortar]

Lebedev is monster who blackmailed entire Peak Sky
I hate him
Stupid ass Dr. Phil knockoff

[cyan canopy]

Hmmm.. Scar says that theres anomalies outside The Zone

[ruby warren]

Didn’t quite get why he needed to lead the assault himself, bros a scientist not a soldier let the merc you hired lead them

[cyan canopy]

so that mean Zone is expanded or...

[gloomy knoll]

The Thing is that we dont know If they Intentionally blackmailed,or If they Just assumed Things would happen to scar the way they thought based on the medical record they got from him surviving 2 Anomalies

[ruby warren]

That’s the impression I got from the very first trailer with the truck

[celest blaze]

i think the first anomaly outside of the zone appeared so the world is kinda screwed

[cyan canopy]

yeah|| after Strelok destroy it ||

[gloomy knoll]

But what If the zone expanded and they only just noticed it?

[granite mortar]

to be fair we already saw the picture of anomaly behind perimeter wall

[cyan canopy]

Zone is much unstable since CoP

[gloomy knoll]

That the Perimeter wall isnt the Border anymore

[celest blaze]

fr

[cyan canopy]

Yeah like quarantine areas

[gloomy knoll]

And, does the Zone expand in a circle?

What If it started to expand in one direction,making IT seem like it stopped in other parts?

[celest blaze]

that would be smart

can the zone expand into space?

[granite mortar]

Zone expands towards the NPP

[cyan canopy]

also Dalin mentioned super emission so we can assume that it would be like 2nd Disaster of Chornobyl again

[granite mortar]

nuh uh
Super emissions were in Clear Sky
they are big and thats it, move anomalies around

[cyan canopy]

hmm what if like.. Zone has it own boundaries like if its always keep released emission and then slowly reach the limits. The anomalies would probably move outside the borders

[wheat moat]

FN SCAR trailer

[finite dragon]

[granite mortar]

What if they sent Scar back in time to stop the spreading?

[long quiver]

What do you think of Scar in the trailer? As a character I mean.

To me he looks much younger and in CS he was more or less a blank slate

[wheat moat]

[long quiver]

I have no idea what it means

[marsh dome]

Rendezvous ? Scar is French ?

[long quiver]

Nah, the British simply use a ton of French terms. And it came to America with them

[dense hatch]

y'all take off the entire arm when the finger itches huh

unless it's a significant radius outside the zone, it's not a huge deal

[marsh dome]

Let me dream

[rocky trellis]

in before people start claiming that is not the real Scar and it's a fake one planted into the game by the US government or some crazy shit like that

[long quiver]

Tkt

[dense hatch]

scar is an AI language learning model

[cyan canopy]

I wish he has his cold looking face like how Clear Sky was

[gloomy knoll]

Who else would so that!?

[cyan canopy]

Aww man no

[brazen patio]

I’m so happy Scar is back

I wonder if he’s retired

[cyan canopy]

Scar theory has been solved but one thing more

How Fang died

[long quiver]

And more so, he's got some personality

[dense hatch]

sniped by a bandit or Merc

[brazen patio]

My boy isn’t just a mute anymore he’s got JOKES

[dense hatch]

possibly hired by clear sky too

[dense hatch]

he's such a silly little guy!

[loud gate]

He is not, he is the leader of Spark/Iskra.

[long quiver]

Is it a theory or was it confirmed somewhere?

[long quiver]

Personally I wasn't really attached to Scar despite being quite fond of CS. I suppose it may change now

[loud gate]

This is confirmed.

[long quiver]

Weird. I wonder how he ended up there. Spark was founded in CoP

[brazen patio]

Now if only I could pre-order the damn game ;w;

[loud gate]

Well, Spark evolved a lot since 2012, of course.

[long quiver]

I did it back when it was 1st announced

I guess, I'm about to get rekt by disapoointment

[grave mirage]

so the Scar is alive, maybe we can find about what happened to Lebedev, Cold and other nice Clear Sky members

[dense hatch]

dead, dead as hell

[rocky trellis]

Can always buy the game after release... my only concern would be the lack of extra campfire content for not pre-ordering the game

[dense hatch]

esp lebedev considering we hear him getting brain blasted

[long quiver]

8-9 years later? What is the year of the s2 events?

[dense hatch]

2020 I think

[brazen patio]

True true
I just really wanted that figure and art book

[grave mirage]

then who installed psy fields on the Swamps ?

[dense hatch]

zone's kinda messed up in current year

[worn oar]

Wrong. If you read the dialogs you'd know that he's still the same, just a little extra goofy with strelok off the equation

[dense hatch]

natural psy fields

[worn oar]

He had no VO in CS, that's why you all feel like he's different

[long quiver]

Can you please refresh my memory?

[dense hatch]

he's not, he was always silly

[worn oar]

But he's basically not as serious as he looks

[dense hatch]

go play CS

[rocky trellis]

Whaat? Play CS? No waaay (jk)

[static compass]

I'm currently in the middle of a playthrough

[rocky trellis]

Btw does the trilogy come with achievements?

Like, steam achievements or whatever platform achievements. At least CoP has ingame ones

[static compass]

On Xbox, yes

[long quiver]

There's a strong opinion that CS is garbage. I disagree, there's still a ton of good things about it but yeah, it seems the weakest among the others.

Are you replaying them all or is there something you like about CS in particular?

[rocky trellis]

Not on steam yea?

[long quiver]

Nope

[static compass]

Nope

[rocky trellis]

sadge. That would have given me a perfect excuse to play through all of them again

[static compass]

Playing them all before S2 comes out

[rocky trellis]

Currently hunting for 100% achievements in favorite games (of all time)

[worn oar]

Leaving the main story dialogs aside, you can see him joking from time to time

[rocky trellis]

But unfortunately some of them just don't have any like Stalker series.

[worn oar]

I don't have an example atm. Matt would've gave you a screenshot right away if he was still with us.

[static compass]

Yeah, that's what I was saying, Scar was always a bit goofy

[long quiver]

What's your favorite then?

[exotic mural]

Once again clearsky players on top

[long quiver]

Who's Matt?
