JUST BECAUSE IT HAS STRINGS DOESN'T MAKE IT HALO

is there an independent track for the outro music?

[indigo marsh]

It's hard to decide between the release theme and this one

[sand fiber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYQLKrRXtl0 this is the outro

[indigo marsh]

But this one would be better for SoC

[dense hatch]

meant intro I'm stupid

[sand fiber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7__Wlbpmk0 this is the intro

[dense hatch]

I vibe with the wasteland 1 so much more than the current SoC menu music

[sand fiber]

both are fuсking amazing, the intro for CoP might be one of the best things ever

[dense hatch]

like this is GOOD stuff

[sand fiber]

sameeee

[dense hatch]

I don't recall CoP having this much of an intense intro song

it's quite nice though

[indigo marsh]

Honestly it's crazy how much of stalker has changed from OL to Retail

Yet it's still feels like stalker

[sand fiber]

I CARNALLY DESIRE BUILDS
I WANT A PHYSICAL HUMAN MANIFESTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF TOT SAMIY STALKER TO RAIL ME

[indigo marsh]

Least insane OLR player/Build Lover

[still ridge]

When you think about the stalker music

[dense hatch]

I really don't know

[still ridge]

What’s the first thought

For me it’s gotta be dirge for the planet

I mean, that song is so peak

[indigo marsh]

Main menu

Or fighting unknown

[still ridge]

I mean actual song wise

fighting unknown Ok

But when do you actually hear that track

[indigo marsh]

Fighting unknown or dirge for the planet

[sand fiber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zBWq1InxvM also i love this shittу live-recorded unfinished song :3333

[still ridge]

dirge is everywhere though

[indigo marsh]

In clear sky

[still ridge]

it’s the iconic stalker track

[dense hatch]

the cordon soundtrack really reminds me of the borderlands 2 soundtrack, which is an odd thing to think about

[still ridge]

Imo

[indigo marsh]

Agree

[solid cosmos]

Neat.

[sand fiber]

gurza dreaming is underrated ngl

[indigo marsh]

GSC putting the coolest songs in stalker Ong

[sand fiber]

makes half the atmosphere of bar

there are also a bunch of firelake heavy metal songs which i'm not a big fan of but they're pretty cool still

[indigo marsh]

Definitely

Garza dreaming gives me some nostalgia

[sand fiber]

me when i have the stalker autism instead of being good at math autism

[indigo marsh]

And dirge for the planet too

[dim topaz]

Damnit... If onl someone could HELP me...

Sigh I wish they’d port TimeShift for newer consoles, or do something else with the property

Game plays like ass but is decently enjoyable in effects (the original pitch was boring)

[reef pulsar]

i played that on my 360 a few months ago and uploaded it to my channel

it was really underrated, i recommend singularity if you liked timeshift

Does Faust really not see anything? The scenery too? How does he eat and drink?

Blind people exist lol

[finite dragon]

Of course I know that, but the question is how will he live after escaping from the monolith's control?

[rugged cave]

OGSM 1.8 Community Edition, who has played it?.
Do you know if there's a character named Vedrov in it?

[finite dragon]

Is it a MOD?

I could only find Japanese play blogs.

[grim palm]

[dim topaz]

Timeshift mentioned

[pseudo rivet]

TimeShift was a cool concept, although a bit mid

[dim topaz]

as a kid in eastern eu, it was peak at the time

[pseudo rivet]

True, as a kid, everything's peak

We don't know, but most likely yes

Also, medically speaking, blind doesn't mean that you see nothing like pitch black like when you put something over your eyes

Ah, wrong GIF

Doesn't matter, meme still stands in a way

Those who know, know

[finite dragon]

Thank you...Ever since I saw the demo play of Deep Dive, I feel really sorry for Faust. 😢

[pseudo rivet]

He doesn't look sideways with his eyes, so yeah, he's blind

What matters, though, is his ideology

We don't know a lot yet, so who knows, perhaps he's either good or bad

[karmic vale]

I think faust is a baddie

[finite dragon]

Personally, I think Faust is an antagonistic force. Allegiance to the Monolith. But if you work with Strider, they might become your allies. It's just an ideal. So I would like more information about Faust. That's exactly what I wish for Monolith.

[worthy lagoon]

What

Oh

[worthy lagoon]

Restore Monolith

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[worthy lagoon]

Faust in S2 spoilers ahead

[pseudo rivet]

But exactly how he differs with Strider, we don't fully know yet

[worthy lagoon]

"Skif.... Skif... Ward is temporary... Monolith is permanent, it's always in our heart, just like our fallen brothers"

[worthy lagoon]

I am more interested in the fact that we might actually have a chance to join Monolith in S2

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be funky

[worthy lagoon]

Y'know, it was pretty rare to see a Monolithian talking to you

[worn oar]

Yeah

Shoot and never ask questions later kind of guys

TimeShift visuals are really… grainy. Need a proper remaster with better quality

Prey from ‘06 still stands solid

Of course, the fact a lot of the gameplay is in dimly lit environments helps

[pseudo rivet]

I’ve only ever played the first game lol

I remember my father buying it at Best Buy too

[faint nymph]

I wish it’d just leak already, I’m not the biggest fan of the 2017 release we got

[pseudo rivet]

Just saying it could happen

[faint nymph]

Just to confirm, no one has been able to place an ultimate edition order yet? Or was there a round earlier this year?

[finite dragon]

Is there a problem with posting the link? 😰

[karmic vale]

I think strider hates the monolith

[karmic vale]

He says to skif “ i reminds me of when i used to be a puppet”

So far we have almost seen most weapons in gameplay footage or trailers, i think there is no FT200M (f2000) this makes me kinda sad 😢

[pseudo rivet]

From what we've seen in CoP, it looks like he was a Monolithian before they got brainwashed

[karmic vale]

Huh

I must of have forgotten

[granite mortar]

they werent always fanatics

poor Strooder

[karmic vale]

But the trailer states he heard monoliths voice in his head. And it was like a long nap that he was awoken from

[granite mortar]

thats just the brainwashing

but from the way he speaks about it, he may have been a Monolithian before the faction packed their stuff and headed to the centre, getting brain washed on the way there

[karmic vale]

But sir crimson said he was a monolithian before brainwashing

[granite mortar]

yes

the faction was always called Monolith, but wasnt always brainwashed

Thats not very strelok of them

Isn't he the new owner of gsc or like a major shareholder?

[blazing barn]

yes he is as i am right

[loud gate]

?
Sorry, I think this is just wrong place to ask.

[indigo marsh]

That's what I see on google

[solid dome]

New owner does old owner dirty

[worn oar]

Well, considering the anomalous nature of the zone, it's not really that convenient. Lore wise, we know that it's not a very rare thing as you can see in the dialogs etc..., but problem is navigation.

[loud gate]

No, he just has major shares in GSC. He owns Navi eSports team

[blazing barn]

i hoped anybody has ideas to contact him 🙂

thanks to all

[worn oar]

What for?

[finite dragon]

Wish all the G’z here a good fooking day

New owner sends old owner to explore Lab X-100 further, locks him inside with the nocturnal creatures and blasts Justin Bieber on the speakers on max volume and bass knob maxed out

to get contact to maxim krippa 🙂

I'll mention this to the CMs, I'll come back when I have an answer.

I tried posting a question about it in the questions tab as well

[solid dome]

Rahmi gets banned cuz Pokerfonix is in a outside scam scheme with the current owner

I will ask, and get back when there is something. For now, I think it should be the same.

[solid dome]

[ionic tree]

@loud gate Alright sounds good

[dense hatch]

I'm fairly sure it'll be a first person shooter on the series S

[solid dome]

@ionic tree ST2 runs at 15 fps because PC users take the rest to enhance

Performance spread!

[ionic tree]

@dense hatch Not perspective.. Frames per second 😅

[dense hatch]

I know I was joking

[ionic tree]

Well you got me

[dense hatch]

it'll probably run a little rough because it's next gen anyways

[blazing barn]

many thanks - it is relatively simple, maxim was interested in buying something of us - can not go in the details for now - but unfortunately there was an issue with the company between, so i want to check with him to help identifying the problem

How do console players think will tackle bloodsuckers when its fast paced as 5 fvcks tied together?

How do you even react so fast with a controller, is it even possible

[dense hatch]

jumping

[ionic tree]

@solid dome I mean the series s is of course under powered. But with recent titels getting 60 fps modes i dont think its entirely impossible.. WK 40 Dark tide has a somewhat of a secret 40 fps mode on Series S that triggers automatically if you have a 120hz VRR Display. I didnt know until i upgraded my tv. Its not impossible that Stalker could at least hit 40 fps

[worn oar]

No problem.
They are offline atm, so I might have an answer later today if there is something that can be done.

[dense hatch]

darktide came out in like 2022 didn't it

[ionic tree]

If it runs like ass on Series S im getting it for pc as well. Hope to get a playable experience with my old rtx 2060 and Ryzen 3600. Probably not on ultra tho

Yeah but its still a pretty intense game in case of how much action is on screen

[finite dragon]

Will they add more changeable option in quality settings? Like i just wanna play the game more than 80fps

[ionic tree]

On Xbox?

[solid dome]

Ryzen 5 3600 gang

[finite dragon]

Pc

[ionic tree]

Eyyoo

[worn oar]

You mentioned bloodsuckers wolf is a bloodsucker lover

[ionic tree]

I would think the game should have more than enough settings on pc to make it run your preferred way

[worn oar]

The team is trying their best to optimize the game. That's all I can day

[finite dragon]

True, i just hope i could run it in rtx3050ti

[solid dome]

I hope I can run it on my Phenom 4

[ionic tree]

I would most likely have DLSS for your rtx card

[finite dragon]

What’s that?

[worn oar]

So far, since no new system req has been updated, old one might still stand.

[solid dome]

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/TYPE-Phenom X4.html

[ionic tree]

Its AI supersampling.. makes the game a little blurry but increases your fps quite significally

[finite dragon]

Im not sure if u fan either open the menu with that

[ionic tree]

Depends on if you pick performance, balanced or quality mode

[hazy helm]

I mean you could use AI supersampling if you want to fuck up your graphics

[ionic tree]

Most games require it to run if you dont have a Nasa computer tho

[hazy helm]

and thats not a good thing

[ionic tree]

Its the new trend

[hazy helm]

and?

[ionic tree]

Let AI take care of it lol

Not saying its good...but thats the world now i guess

[spring apex]

not now, maybe 5 years later

[solid dome]

and?

[spring apex]

but mannn, its all supersampling yeah

[hazy helm]

its only a new thing because companies push for new inneficient technologies to try and fix the gaps beetween the teams coordination and contractors

[ionic tree]

It makes perfect sense for something like the Switch 2 if it gets DLSS as the rumors suggest.. but for a gaming rig its sad that you need to buy a gpu that most people can't even afford just to run the game without AI

[dense hatch]

stalker 2 on the switch sounds absolutely miserable in terms of frame rate regardless

[ionic tree]

Wasn't even think about that, just thinking about it in general but must be a horrible experience

[spring apex]

it will turn the switch to a C4 and explode when it launch it for sure

[solid dome]

Them shits will melt

iLogos Game Studios' blogpost mentioning S2: "Among the most anticipated new games 2024 has in store, STALKER 2 took center stage at Gamescom 2024. The demo, showcased on the Xbox Series X, left a strong impression with its stunning graphics and immersive world-building, making it one of the best games 2024 could bring to the table".

ComputerBase's Max Doll: "Just like last year, Stalker 2 was presented at Gamescom again this year. My impressions are much better than a year ago. A long development period and delays are rarely good signs. In the case of Stalker 2, however, a happy ending is cautiously in sight: the shooter, which is set in the Zone around the Ukrainian nuclear power plant near Chornobyl, looks to be in its final stages of development and gives off the good hope for finally being released on November 20th. Media reports suggest that the date can be met".

The media reports in question:

1. PC Games Hardware's Philipp Reuther — "Tried S2: performance, graphics and design are clean — the hype is justified! [...] The game now runs smoothly, looks great and manages to maintain both a dense atmosphere and the high standards of its predecessors — there is no caving in to the mainstream [...] Stalker 2 actually feels like a finished game and I can say that I feel relieved and hopeful at the same time —dyakuyu za nadiyu (thanks for the hope), GSC Game World!"

2. 4Player's Jonas Höger — "[...] based on the demo that I have now experienced on site in Cologne, I am much more optimistic than my colleague was a year ago: the game runs smoothly and visually looks really impressive [...] the Ukrainian title now makes a much more rounded impression".

3. Eurogamer's Alexander Bohn-Elias — "After playing for half an hour, I can confidently say: in my 18 years with this magazine, I have hardly seen a title that has improved so much from one presentation to another quite like this one [...] It looks incredibly good, runs smoothly and feels great".

[gilded flower]

GROK OUT OF HERE GROKLER

[solid dome]

Grokkin' out

Hold on I forgot something, I'll grok in for a slight moment and grok out immediately after

Grokage!
I forgot my Grokage!

[celest goblet]

Yes, but it is like STALKER according to the people who played it

[solid dome]

STALKER 2 should have inspired features from Gamma at the very least

[gilded flower]

Gamma gameplay be like :
5% stalker 95% Tarkov , Pubg , tactical source mod

[granite mortar]

[solid dome]

Gimme my Gamma pack remster you fools

[granite mortar]

NLC with gamma mechanics

[gilded flower]

you're sending NLC players to hell

[granite mortar]

they already are in hell

[gilded flower]

damn..

[indigo marsh]

😭

This reminds me of that one NA 7 pink forest meme

[sand fiber]

GAMMA with OP 2.2 characteristics

[indigo marsh]

[peak ridge]

There are only 8 days left to Stalker 2, can't wait!

[half bone]

Zamn, people reach the emoji reaction limit in less than a second

[granite mortar]

he doesnt know

[sly moat]

Hello. So out of curiosity, any news on the collector editions?

[peak ridge]

No, I know. Was just joking, lmao

[half bone]

I don't wanna be that guy, but the game releases in November 20th

bruh

[granite mortar]

yeah
suuuuureee

[potent bluff]

Now we're waiting for Degtyarev trailer

[ancient haven]

Still hurts

[worn oar]

We do what we must

[lethal orchid]

Damn GSC going everywhere

[celest goblet]

I believe in #📜┃gsc-answers they have said they are trying to get restocks to happen. No promises but they suggest signing up on the form in #🖤┃s2-pre-order to get information if there is a restock in your region

As far as the physical editions go at least

[ionic tree]

The physical ultimate edition sure is tempting. Not sure if my wife would approve the amount tho 🤣

[worn oar]

No, strelok

[gilded flower]

Did strelok appear ?

[potent bluff]

Already shown in 2021 trailer

[gilded flower]

the guy with the psy-helmet when that mono zoomed in with his sniper ?

[granite mortar]

[granite mortar]

fym "that mono"
that was Strooder

[silk sparrow]

i want to schedule my second vocation on nov 20. i wonder how risky it is

because my first vocation is cooked on sep5

[worldly cargo]

@ionic tree she will forgive you for buying it

[gilded flower]

you sure that guy who was in psy-helmet was strooder ?

[granite mortar]

the sniper was Strooder

[gilded flower]

I DIDN'T MEAN sniper.. I mean the person he was aiming at

[granite mortar]

[gilded flower]

...

[granite mortar]

I know
but you said "that mono"
blud ur more confused than snow sleight during summer

[lyric marten]

Cant wait for someone to port stalker 2 weps to old trilogy xD

[gilded flower]

I mentioned the mono sniper to clear it..

[granite mortar]

lame
port SoC guns to S2

[celest goblet]

I'm waiting but will definitely book vacation Nov 20-22 if I am confident in the release date when it approaches

And I never take time off for game releases

[cyan canopy]

what about all Trilogy models ported S2

it would be funny seeing low poly model walking around the zone

[granite mortar]

no
just SoC models
and CS shaders

[cyan canopy]

All of them are same my friend

[granite mortar]

no

[worn oar]

It's just a theory for now

I explained it here long ago

I still think he is tbh, I stand with my theory

[cyan canopy]

yes

[granite mortar]

you still think Old Scar is Charon/Faust and New Scaris actually Savior?

[worn oar]

Never thought that actually. I had two theories in fact, one that says he died, and one that says he survived considering his super human immunity to emissions.

The latter was actually true

At least in base

Until we know more

[granite mortar]

never though thatt THEN
but do you think it NOW that I told you?

[worn oar]

Nope

[granite mortar]

[worn oar]

One extra theory popped tho and it's similar to the second.

[granite mortar]

god Im glad they made Bayuns so ugly
I wont feel bad for disintegrating them using shotguns

[worn oar]

He survived, but was captured and was subdued to brainwash. He played along and ended up escaping at the end then hiding in the dark, and forsaking the pursuit of strelok.

[granite mortar]

and then he became Faust

[worn oar]

And Faust became scar in order to take his revenge on him

[granite mortar]

rel rel

[worn oar]

Mozi is Faust tho

[granite mortar]

I almost dont want to punch faust in the face during frst 5 minutes of gameplay now

just almost...
I still will

[gilded flower]

I made a promise.. I gonna make everyone run OG and any based stalker mod with high fps...

[prisma goblet]

Pax = new trailer soon?

[celest goblet]

Do you think we will get spoiled with another trailer from PAX or just more people reporting on the demo

[loud gate]

No

Know your limits))

[prisma goblet]

Faust trailer 🥺

[granite mortar]

help me run RTTZ story 3

and I will be forever grateful
and wont make fun of Egypt anymore

[finite dragon]

Which stalker games are canon?

[loud gate]

Let Zak rest...

[granite mortar]

[prisma goblet]

What

[granite mortar]

SoC, CS, CoP and soon HoC

[prisma goblet]

They are all canon

[lilac lily]

GAMMA

Stalker 2 will have Hip dating mechanic

[granite mortar]

GSC stole the concept from Grok, made millions, went back in time to make it before Grok and get even more rich
true story

[prisma goblet]

Yeah Gamma is canon and SoC is not canon because its a mod

[finite dragon]

What about the phone game?

[gilded flower]

RTTZ is that laggy ?

[lilac lily]

Those schizo Russian books are also canon

[loud gate]

It's not canon afaik

[granite mortar]

only story 3

[gilded flower]

wdym by story 3 ?

[celest blaze]

@finite dragon soc, cs, cop

[lilac lily]

All 40 of them

[loud gate]

and HoC

[dense hatch]

all of them except the abandoned mobile one

[granite mortar]

RTTZ has 3 stories
with different main characters
and maps
1 and 2 run okay, 40-60fps med details
3 runs at 2fps, minimal details

[worthy lagoon]

@cosmic trellis are you going to be at PAX?

[celest blaze]

Cancelling preorder now

[worthy lagoon]

Shut up, play GAMMA

[dense hatch]

stalker isn't like fallout with 500 retcons

[granite mortar]

make me

[worthy lagoon]

!tempGAMMA @granite mortar 500h

[gilded flower]

I gonna cheeki the breeki out of it

[dense hatch]

rip

[granite mortar]

no

[celest blaze]

Gamma would be based if they got rid of hip

[worn oar]

https://tenor.com/view/gasp-shock-screaming-scared-omg-gif-25497787

[celest goblet]

Well even if no trailer this weekend I can look forward to some more English language outlets getting to see the game

[granite mortar]

Gamma would be based if it wasnt made by Gork

[celest blaze]

Imagine if DoctorX made gamma

[granite mortar]

man I gotta get Grok to answer my retarded questions again
was fun last time

[celest blaze]

DAMMA

XAMMA

[granite mortar]

DAGQDM
epic name
Doc´s automated good quest design modpack

[celest blaze]

Aye haha

[finite dragon]

Why they made a mobile game then?

[gilded flower]

I'll play it just for the quests

any mod got DoctorX storyline is good to play

[granite mortar]

if only the balancing and engine were better in CotZ

[gilded flower]

if I know how to improve Xray engine I'll make it better

[granite mortar]

if I dont Grok myself working on my current projects, I might try modding CotZ
Porting OXR or some of its forks will be needed, probably base OXR since it doesnt crash from alt-tabbing

then improving balancing..
will take lot of time but should be worth it

[gilded flower]

what about advanced Xray

[indigo marsh]

Bayuns are still kinda kit

[granite mortar]

all mods I played which used AXR crashed after second alt tab
not good for freeplay mod since you wont be so engaged into it and probably will alt tab morre often than with normal mods

[granite mortar]

they look like the ugly hairless cats
no remorse shooting them

[indigo marsh]

Skill issue tbh

[gilded flower]

then OpenXray
I tried an unoffical engine OpenXray port and it got a well opitimize

[indigo marsh]

The x ray engine loves me

[gilded flower]

even without my boosting mods on highest

[still ridge]

Born to play stalker 2

Forced to play gamma

[indigo marsh]

So trve

[granite mortar]

born to dilly dally
forced to Grok in

[indigo marsh]

[gilded flower]

Born to Play
Soc, Cs, Cop ⤵️
Call of Chernobyl
Call of the Zone
GoldShpare

[granite mortar]

yeah Ill see what I can do

[indigo marsh]

Damn rip chymo

He is going to die because of this

[granite mortar]

pssst
dont tell Kuro
But Discord jannies dont hold any actual power

[indigo marsh]

Not because gamma players are good at killing but because he is going to lose his mind

The part that he didn't lose yet

[still ridge]

Kuro has the power to turn you gae

[gilded flower]

I'm not gamma player and I'm build to kill

[indigo marsh]

Your PC will explode if you even think of playing gamma

[granite mortar]

Im only gay for Strider

[granite mortar]

Gamma with Lost Alpha running speed
also increase stamina drain so its closer to gamma player physique

[indigo marsh]

Can we get 'Chymo [Officially gamma]'

[granite mortar]

[indigo marsh]

Also he already kinda is bc of clear sky role on anomaly server

and CS is mod rot

(The faction not the game)

[granite mortar]

I changed it to freedom
So I can annoy people by simple existing

[indigo marsh]

Oh yeah forgot about that

Silly me :з

[shrewd mantle]

Any clue of how much will cost the next MSI gpu stalker edition coming soon? GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16G Gaming Slim Stalker 2 Edition??

[granite mortar]

definitely more than its worth
stinky Nvidia

[celest blaze]

??

[celest blaze]

Is that even a thing or did you made that up?

[celest goblet]

I assume he means CS existing after the events of Clear Sky

[celest blaze]

I don't think I'd call it mod slop to have them though peak sky saves the mods

I'd rather CS then sin and unisg though

Atleast CS is canon

[granite mortar]

Id rather have Seekers from RTTZ be canon than get CS to return

[celest blaze]

What are those

[shrewd mantle]

It is true https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-preparing-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super-stalker-2-edition-new-rtx-4070-gddr6-variants

[celest blaze]

Oh neat didn't see this and regular 4070ti supers are still over 1000 in CAD so I'd assume the same

[loud gate]

Can say it won't be too cheap

[shrewd mantle]

I think in US is between $800 - $1500 (Sakura Sugar edition the most expensive)

[pseudo rivet]

I legit don't see the issue. I'm just saying that sympathizing for someone just because he's blind can be dangerous in case he's evil

[pseudo rivet]

I'd rather have neither

[finite dragon]

Thank you.Even if Faust is "bad", I still love him...and of course I love Scar too. 😢

[slow kiln]

Responsible Tourism Tanzania?

That is what came up after I searched RTTZ

[pseudo rivet]

Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves

[granite mortar]

oh come on
Slava Engine was based

[granite mortar]

Return to the Zone
mod for Call of Pripyat

Also, unless releases detailed information about Faust soon, it will be difficult to judge... 🙏😭

[pseudo rivet]

I wouldn't know

[worthy lagoon]

[worthy lagoon]

That's actually true

[granite mortar]

he has cult like following from his soldiers, and then he waits for you in swamps for entire year while you are in weird inbetween dimension inside anomalous ball

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds wacky

[granite mortar]

its based as hell

[pseudo rivet]

Luckily, some are immune

[granite mortar]

[pseudo rivet]

So true bestie

[granite mortar]

[dense hatch]

trendy and for fun

[slow kiln]

Oh, is it still Zanton, Jupiter and Yanov? Or are there new areas?

[granite mortar]

all the old and some new

[sand fiber]

i need to play goldsphere...

[granite mortar]

yes

[indigo marsh]

Clear sky shouldn't exist in 2016 based on lore ☝️🤓

Also am justifying why Chymo is already gamma rotted

By making stuff up ofc and grasping at the tiniest straws

[granite mortar]

they shouldnt exist in late 2011

[indigo marsh]

Anomaly takes place in 2016, right? Bc I remember the mod having news when you start the game that talks about Strelok not being a SIRCAA advisor and entering the zone again

[granite mortar]

technically 2018
practically 2012

but the 2018 date is from Call of Misery, they just didnt bother to change it

[indigo marsh]

Close enough

2016, 2018 tomato tomato

[valid summit]

Every console but ps5

[sand fiber]

what

[indigo marsh]

Ps 5 has stalker

Not HoC but it has the trilogy

[tropic summit]

I am writing a story about stalker

[pulsar sluice]

Because he's had doubts about the knowledge of the zone passed on to him by the dying C-con as he killed them, years before. Those doubts have finally forced hm to come back go the zone, to discover the truth of what he truly knows.

[silk sparrow]

Nintendo Switch, SEGA, Zhiliton, XBOX X/S, XBOX 360, Gameboy, Wii - will have stalker 2, but not ps5/4

[silver pagoda]

A GOOD MAN IS ALWAYS ON TIME FOR LUNCH
WHO SAID IM A GOOD MAN?
RICHTER, THE GUYS FROM THE DETENTION CENTER...
AND ME, SCAR.
SO YOU'VE SEEN AN ANOMALY, OUTSIDE THE ZONE?
THATS WHY IM HERE.
I'VE HEARD THE RUMOURS, BUT NEVER FIRST HAND
AND IVE GOT A FUNNY FEELING....
THERE'S MORE TROUBLE TO COME
THIS IS THE DARK SIDE OF THE ZONE
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER, THE SHINING SIDE
ITS HERE ALL AROUND US, BUT WE CANNOT SEE IT
I WONDER WHATS OUT THERE, ETERNAL SPRING?
THE KLONDIKE OF ARTIFACTS?
A NEW HOME? OR OUR HEART'S DESIRES?
WE WANT THE SHINING ZONE TO REVEAL ITSELF
OOOOH! SH*T'S GONNA GO DOWN AT THE INSTITUTE, HA-HA!

[silk sparrow]

daily pasta is here

[granite coral]

Daily spagetti

[granite mortar]

I hate spagetti

[indigo marsh]

This is an unpopular opinion

I sorta agree with it tho

The tube pasta is really good with the white cheese

[dense hatch]

spaghetti is just the most mediocre pasta

[grave hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/pasta-italian-nightmare-break-spaghetti-cope-harder-gif-23992628

click the link, It's not a russian virus i swear!

[wild wharf]

Spaghetti is BASED what are you talking about

[dense hatch]

these names are a pain to see at low brightness

[granite mortar]

no
its bottom tier pasta

[grave hearth]

its the same

[wild wharf]

Nah nah nah, you are NOT going to disrespect Spaghetti

It's BASED MAN!

[granite mortar]

I am
because its mid as hell

[grave hearth]

is it as based as your name?

[wild wharf]

I have no clue

[grave hearth]

me neither

[indigo marsh]

I haven't seen you on discord in a while.

[wild wharf]

Yeah, I took a break from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, hung out with some homies in the Helldivers Discord, and now I've returned

What happened while I was gone if I may ask?

[naive moth]

stalker on the swith

It's on the Switch now?

GODDAMN IT, EMBED FAIL

[naive moth]

haha

[indigo marsh]

Vasimifaction

A couple mods and a couple people made their profile vasim

[gloomy knoll]

You know, any Type of Pasta or noodles are only as good AS the Sauce or whatever you put to it is.

[wild wharf]

So Vasim is going through Mitosis?

[indigo marsh]

Sir crimson became a mod again

[naive moth]

real?

[gloomy knoll]

Calling some pasta mid, is as saying the icecream cone is mid.

Its not about the cone, but The icecream itself

[granite mortar]

thing is
unlike icecream cone
spaghetti is mid
cone is good even without icecream

[gloomy knoll]

Goldsphere is mid

[naive moth]

spaghetti is not mid fr

[indigo marsh]

It's Better with the ice cream tho

[granite mortar]

true
its worse than mid

[gloomy knoll]

Rttz also because its quickly broken upon Installation

[naive moth]

nahhh it good fr

[granite mortar]

what a fuсking skill issue

[gloomy knoll]

Skill issue?

Not my fault the game Files duplicate every npc x Times

[granite mortar]

that was RTTN you dingus
also you are the only one who had that issue, so yes, it IS your fault

[wild wharf]

Actually? Let's go, A W for the STOC Server!

[gloomy knoll]

Installed as told, not my fault

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[granite mortar]

:3

[gloomy knoll]

ALL HAIL RANJID

[dense hatch]

did you use the right file directory and have CoP installed at one point?

[naive moth]

can you download mods if you have stalker cop dvd (the game is dvd)?

i dont think?

[cinder iris]

already read on the site

[naive moth]

oh

[gloomy knoll]

Cop was uninstalled, all files were downloaded as listed on the site. It was already Bad enough to find it somewhere where I dont need days due to Bad mirror links

[indigo marsh]

Also matt is taking a break for a really long time

[finite dragon]

Hi guys!
I am new to the stalker franchise and am broke af to buy any of the games from original stalker trilogy, but i want to experience the stalker games so I thought about checking out stalker anomaly.
But I am currently stuck behind a firewall which doesn't let me torrent or access the moddb site, if someone uploads the file to drive/mega and send the link to me it would be of great help!

[hazy helm]

there are only 3 stalker games, anomaly nor any of the mods are stalker they are anomaly and their respective mods
wait for the next sale to go live and you can snag the bundle for 15

[dense hatch]

pretty much every single mod that's standalone plays radically different and has a significantly different story compared to the trilogy

you can get the entire series for dirt cheap, or even individual games, every once in a while

if you want to try stalker modding keep in mind anomaly/GAMMA play extremely different from the original series, and even mods like legends returns play different

[finite dragon]

I know it doesnt come under the stalker series but I like its atmosphere and currently I'll take whatever I can get easily

[indigo marsh]

Anomaly is on moddb tho and gamma needs anomaly

[finite dragon]

yeah and currently i cant access it sadly as I've explained before

[solid cosmos]

I think they still are like 10 bucks on steam right now for all three. Unless that sale ended.

[ionic tree]

The sale has ended

[lethal orchid]

500lbs take

[sand fiber]

i think anomaly also has download links in VK and other places, what kind of firewall is that, you can't bypass it with VPN tools/DPI circumvention?

[granite mortar]

Anomaly is barely stalker
its focus is wildly different and other than maps it really doesnt have much to do with the fracnhise

[finite dragon]

it is fortinet firewall, most vpns dont work on it or they barely have decent speed

[granite mortar]

if you were to play mods over the canon games theres plenty of stuff much closer to them

[finite dragon]

Like? I just wanna try something which is free and i can access

[lethal orchid]

The anomaly story is bootycheeks

Get another good story mod, there are many that are free

[granite mortar]

Oblivion Lost Remake, Old Good Stalker...

both are variations of Shadow of Chernobyl

also the games are discounted more often than not, you can get them for 10 bucks, all 3 I mean with just 10 bucks

[lethal orchid]

It's possibly the best deal you could get on steam

[sand fiber]

oh my god stop being nerds anomaly is a better entrypoint for someone who literally can't access the trilogy

i'd suggest torrents but they can't even do that

[untold salmon]

New clip at the end of the trailer

[tulip vapor]

literally can't access it?

[granite mortar]

yeah
either few times a year on steam for 10 bucks
or 70% of the year on GOG for 12

[lethal orchid]

Suck my weewee there are equally accessible versions for free that are much more in line

[granite mortar]

wrong

[regal sapphire]

bait?

[granite mortar]

damn
first unbased NozAr mod take smh smh

[lethal orchid]

Damn it

Nozar keeps baiting me and I keep falling for it

[tulip vapor]

You know the trilogy exists on disk right?

[lethal orchid]

Evil world we live in

[nimble cipher]

spugelo has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rocky trellis]

okay that word no good either

[sand fiber]

"hey i literally can't pirate, buy or otherwise access the games, where can i download anomaly?"
ERRRMMM AKCHYUALLY YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS ESOTERIC BUILDOMOD IT HAS A VERY COOL STORYLINE

[glossy wave]

“There and Back Again” sounds so familiar I can’t quite put my finger on it

[tulip vapor]

A Hobbit's Tale

[rocky trellis]

Imagine getting bioch slapped by a bloodsucker. Watched in slow motion and that is basically what it looks like

[worn oar]

Yes

[granite mortar]

errrm
Moderators
NozAr got hacked, can you ban her?

[late pivot]

I wonder how many years have passed since "Clear Sky" in the second part? I can't wait to play the game!

[glossy wave]

https://tenor.com/view/tolkien-erb-rap-epic-gif-5603599

Embed failure

[granite mortar]

it happens to the best of us

[sand fiber]

chymo you don't understand,
instead of reciting the usual line you should link repacks of the games for them to play ;333

[worn oar]

NozAr got the Kwaves

[dense hatch]

legends returns

[glossy wave]

Billions must scour The Zone

[dense hatch]

anomaly also spoils the entire trilogy with the main quest

[granite mortar]

NozAr got the bump on the head
or LSD
either one works

[worn oar]

[tulip vapor]

People actually play the main quest?

[dense hatch]

if anomaly didn't dump 300 gallons of lore from the trilogy at the end of the first questline I'd recommend it as a first game quicker

[dense hatch]

there's no other main goal unless you play warfare mode

or set some arbitrary goal for yourself

[tulip vapor]

I've played hundreds of hours just doing fetch quests. I just like the zone.

[granite mortar]

to be fair the boast about it heavily on their moddb
makes sense people will play it since it seems like big feature

[sand fiber]

Brainrot, lame

[tulip vapor]

Am I the only one who plays stalker for the atmosphere?

[granite mortar]

anyways
@finite dragon
https://www.moddb.com/mods/olr-vector-of-alienation
this mod is somewhat made to be what SoC was earlier in its development, it differs a lot but the general formula of the story stays almost the same
on the page theres a google drive download linked in case its faster for you

[sand fiber]

huge part of the atmosphere is having actual well-written quests and story

[granite mortar]

other option is OGSE as I said, its basically just expanded SoC with more content and slight alterations to the main questiline

[tulip vapor]

Doesn't seem related to me

nothing atmospheric about text lore

[sand fiber]

experiences with vision will always have better atmosphere than freeplays (if we're talking about stalker)

[granite mortar]

atmospheric part is when it sends you somewhere you wouldnt go normally, makes you explore and appreciate the world more

[worn oar]

Nope

[tulip vapor]

Or just do that yourself

[granite mortar]

ah yes
lets throw structure out of window to do repetetive fetch quests and wander aimlessly around depopulated empty maps

[tulip vapor]

Depopulated? Yeah I don't play vanilla anomaly

[sand fiber]

what does text lore have to do with this 😭

[tulip vapor]

You said well written quests and story

[sand fiber]

it's about unique things happening vs boring things happening, and freeplay mods just can't achieve the former

[tulip vapor]

Then you don't appreciate alife the way I do 😛

[sand fiber]

CoC forks, including Anomaly don't have proper A-life, play OLR 3 😭😭😭

[celest goblet]

The zone is unfortunately static in anomaly. People move around but not enough to make it feel like the balance of power is ever changing meaningfully

[sand fiber]

it's not like it's impossible to achieve unique things with procedural generation, that's the whole point of A-life, yes, but Anomaly just doesn't??

and no CoC derivative does for that matter

[indigo marsh]

He says that he can't access moddb bc a firewall on his system

He would need to get a repack

[sand fiber]

yes

[granite mortar]

OLR 3.0 Alife is just HiFlyers soul trapped inside the game

[indigo marsh]

At that point just get a /sg/ repack

[celest goblet]

If I'm gonna run around doing busy work in the zone I will do it in OP-2 so I can get barely decipherable English directions on what to do, shave two hours off my life expectancy finishing it, and then return so I can be rewarded with literally nothing (or maybe some pocket lint if I'm lucky)

[sand fiber]

i LOVE finding dead people who's armor i just bought for 10k dollars

[granite mortar]

Why do you love finding dead HiFlyer souls? :(

[finite dragon]

How is it possible that my computer is somewhat struggling to run a vanilla stalker mod

[granite mortar]

vanilla.. mod?

[finite dragon]

Call of Chernobyl

[granite mortar]

oh you mean mod without addons

its because CoC is trash running on outdated experimental fork of OXR

[sand fiber]

addons are the devil

i'm a christian mom AGAINST addons

[granite mortar]

Stalkers against Canada movement

[finite dragon]

I literally just want to play open world stalker with vanilla weapons

[sand fiber]

vanilla games are already openworld

[granite mortar]

thats nice
but wont change the fact that both the mod and the engine are trash

[finite dragon]

Exactly

[granite mortar]

also doesnt CoC use a gunpack?
stCoP gunpack or something like that

[finite dragon]

No that's another addon

[storm wren]

did the stalker wiki crap itself?

[granite mortar]

stalker wiki was always crap

[storm wren]

no like it's literally

ait holdon

[pseudo rivet]

Seems just fine for me. Anything specific that's being wack?

[granite mortar]

the information

[pseudo rivet]

Anything specific?

[storm wren]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[indigo marsh]

Matt had specific information on it

He posted it on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/s/WZiuEb3D7H

yeah
Matt used to talk about it quite a bit
I didnt really pay much attention tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Time to add that to the project list

[indigo marsh]

Fixing the wiki?

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, although I definitely need to replay SoC because it's my least played game unfortunately

[indigo marsh]

Same

Played CoP more

[finite dragon]

I've never done the lab below dark valley

olr 3 just straight up replaced it with warlab, because that's where it was in early desdocs 😭

I FCKFINF LOVE RAT DUNGEONS

[finite dragon]

Doing the main quests in anomaly is way easier than in SoC I'm sorry

[pseudo rivet]

Ah, I love the smell of weakness in the evening

[sand fiber]

???

[granite mortar]

yeah because theres like 8 times less enemies
and your guns have pinpointt accuracy

[sand fiber]

soc mainquest is the easiest and most straightforward shit imaginable

[finite dragon]

Im specifically talking about x18

[pseudo rivet]

B r u h

How

Legit how

[sand fiber]

[pseudo rivet]

Real

[finite dragon]

I've become the very thing I hate

Fine I'll give x18 another go

[indigo marsh]

It's the afternoon

[celest goblet]

It's just some poltergeists and snorks and a pseudogiant how bad can it be

[indigo marsh]

Just 🔪 the pseudo giant

[pseudo rivet]

Nuh-uh

[celest goblet]

Honestly OP-2 X-18 fried my brain I can't actually remember what's supposed to be down there exactly because in that version the answer is everything

[rocky trellis]

Noo... it can't be afternoon if it's night

[indigo marsh]

Yuh uh

[rocky trellis]

trust me, it's night right now, 100% real

[pseudo rivet]

Nuh-uh

[indigo marsh]

[pseudo rivet]

3 round burst?

[broken latch]

full automatic

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, because I want to figure out the playstyle of every weapon because CoP is the most balanced of the games

[rocky trellis]

Who needs more than 1 round tho?

[pseudo rivet]

You're a fool

[indigo marsh]

Oh I am just kidding. CoP is the most popular in the entire series

Based on rating on steam

[pseudo rivet]

Good snipers don't, including IL 86 Chads

[indigo marsh]

Full auto is valid

[pseudo rivet]

Not with the silencer and not with 9x19mm

[granite mortar]

only good thing steam reviews ever gave us was economy update in war thunder

[rocky trellis]

Lottery is also a valid way to get rich

[indigo marsh]

So true

And WT actually listening to the community more

And WT is somewhat playable now

[granite mortar]

yes
hope gayjob deletes france next update

[pseudo rivet]

If you're going with the silencer, I'd suggest locking the Viper 5 into 3 burst fire mode and to use 9x19mm so you can use JHP

[rocky trellis]

Steam reviews have helped me to dodge multiple games that got retconned

[indigo marsh]

France players love suffering or are youtubers

Sweden has good meme tanks but we should probably stop off top or go to off top channel

[tulip vapor]

no

[granite mortar]

yeah

[indigo marsh]

yeah

[naive moth]

me

[dense hatch]

it's so empty

[tulip vapor]

I don't play vanilla anomaly

[dense hatch]

besides the fetch quests there are so few notable characters

or interesting quests

it's like they ignored the good part of CoP

[gaunt dove]

hello

[finite dragon]

Hi

[gaunt dove]

looking for where I can get the Physical preorder for the Collector's edition in Canada, is it just on amazon or something? Can't seem to find it in #🖤┃s2-pre-order 😅

(PC version)

[dense hatch]

did you read the bottom message?

[gaunt dove]

its like europe only or something

[dense hatch]

it's just for the English versions

[gaunt dove]

I know there's the button for preorder on the official website but I was wondering if it is available somewhere else to ensure I got one as I assume they are pretty limited edition

I filled out the form ages ago an haven't received an email ever since I got the confirmation email so I'm just wondering is all

[jaunty pebble]

Currently they are pretty much out of order on nearly everywhere

GSC is trying to make some stocks avaible for the collector editions

[gaunt dove]

cus it said we'd be notified when they'd become available

[jaunty pebble]

#📜┃gsc-answers message

[grim palm]

[wide flume]

I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER

GSC PLEASE BLESS ME WITH YOUR HOLY GAME

[hardy bear]

honestly one of the only games I have confidence in being decent this year

[ionic tree]

This and Space Marine 2 are the only games im looking forward to

[hardy bear]

fair

but then again there's not much i'm looking out for in general this year

[ionic tree]

Nah gaming in general has been a dusty place. You can really feel that games now take 7+ years to make. Also the impact of covid and so on

[worn oar]

Wait for restock first. Keep your eyes on the announcements channel. If anything regarding that matter is done, GSC will let you all know.

[hardy bear]

Main reason why i've been going to indies or decade old games for enjoyment

[ionic tree]

Another big problem with the industry is that gaming had huge boost during covid (obviously) and so every major publisher pumped a large amount of money into projects, projects that fail miserably leading studios to close down. Its absolutely insane the amount of lay offs and closures

[silk sparrow]

well games become more complex each year. so its also a reason why half of them very buggy or sits on EA

also trend games or cash grabs

[ionic tree]

Honestly i never even played any Stalker games until recent years because of the current state of gaming. Ive discovered many old gems. Stalker has definitely become my favorite Series.

[gaunt dove]

aight thanks, been keeping a close eye on the channel for a while. Just hoping the physical preorders won't all get grabbed within minutes of the announcement being done if it gets accessible a bit closer to the release date

[hardy bear]

It's so fun but also sometimes rather sad when you go back to past entries in a series you recently play. Lots of them end up feeling better than the modern entries

[ionic tree]

Well the best part of old games is how they tried to be different. Nobody takes any chances in AAA now a days

[jaunty pebble]

go to PAX West brother

[silk sparrow]

old games was driven by people who plays games. now games are made by people with suits

im not talking about all games, but most big studios are corpo

looking at blizz, valve

[ionic tree]

Couldnt have said it better my self

[silk sparrow]

ubisoft, ea

[hardy bear]

Sounds about right

they only do something with a hint of inovation once in a blue moon, but never push it

so it just gets lost in the mess that is everything else about a game

but what has me so hopeful about S2 is that the way that the designers talk about it feel like they have stuck to the core design principles that drove the original games

[ionic tree]

My favorite game in the Far Cry series is Far Cry 2. Every other game in the series feels like a down grade. 3 was good too. But the second one was really advanced for its time. The AI, the bullet penetration, wild fire. Its really an awesome game

[hardy bear]

funny how that's the case with most ubisoft games

[worn oar]

We can't be sure about that, not the restock at the moment. GSC are actively addressing the matter if I'm not mistaken. All you can do is wait, and I believe if anything happens you'd know.
Let us just wish good luck to the team, especially now that we are close to release. They are doing all they could and that's all that matters.
They'll be participating in another event (check #📰┃announcement ) so, we might hear something, or not.

[hardy bear]

My favourite splinter cell was chaos theory, assassin's creed was 2. It's all the old ones

but hey, that means there's plenty of titles to enjoy if you're stuck for fun games at the moment

[silk sparrow]

james bond 007 goldeneye on ps2, twisted metal, tekken 3

red alert 2

[ionic tree]

I liked AC 2 back in the day. But replaying it now ive realized how little stealth is actually part of the game. There's like Zero stealth mechanics like crouch, sneak, peak around corners. Still good game tho

[hardy bear]

It's the parkour that lifts it up for me. Unparalleled by any other AC

cause yeah even i'd agree that it's stealth was lacklustre. Mirage probably takes the cake for stealth, with shadows potentially surpassing that if it's done right, but if parkour is what makes AC unique, 2 shines above all others

anyways that's enough non stalker

[ionic tree]

I think Unity had the best stealth but held down by multiple factors

[finite dragon]

Lab x18 sucks

[sly matrix]

Lab x18 is GOATED

[fair jackal]

i can´t remember if we even go into any labs in CS

[sly matrix]

agroprom underground you could arguably count as lab

[finite dragon]

Sorry I said lab x18 was bad I just hate the snorks down there

[sly matrix]

yeah those snorks will slam-dunk your face

[fair jackal]

man i love the first guitar notes of He Was a Good Stalker

[rocky trellis]

just shoot them first, the superior surprise wins

[gaunt dove]

Yeah I know they're working hard, its one of the reasons why I want to buy the physical preorder, if I remember correctly more of the profits go back to GSC directly compared to the digital version preorders. Also because I want the artbook and its only in collector's edition, but I also want to support the people behind it all :)

[worn oar]

Based opinion

[gilded flower]

I hate no lab... but fps drop... it scares me...

[indigo marsh]

Are you getting FPS drops with your graphics

With your graphics I can probably get 300 fps on my system

Ua skif made it I think
