Hello, @wraith socket 
One guy from the mod team (
) told me you have a YouTube channel and if you need any help, that I may help you, so feel free to let me know 
And congratulations on becoming helper 
Thanks. YT channel since 2008. Currently almost 3,300 videos. However I am terrible at promoting it and getting subscribers. Most likely my fault for my format,
Hmmm who? 
Mozi can help you whenever he can if you require support
He's one of the best content makers we have
Anomalous dugout and it's Tommy love too
Great fellas, good friends, and true stalkers
You know Tommy from 100 rads bar I think
(Facebook)
I did see Tommy Love after you told me and his 49 videos. He's very excitable.
Taryn is not here, but she's in his server too
You can ask her to join here if you wish
She can get her content maker role
Taryn is great. been a big fan from the very beginning.
Unless she's already here
Yes, we've known each other for a long while, but I think she forgot me. 
Or not
Idk
We didn't have a chance to talk for like 4years now
Taryn is not here? @obsidian nimbus 
she's not active ! How am I supposed to know haha
No need to tell me, I think I know
Yeah? Who 
I just tried the demo at PAX, that was crazy fun
Not gonna tell you, Moz Moz
I also got my STALKER SoC manual signed by the guys there.
Why hide? I already know.
I'm sure PropheT was happy to do it 
No doubt
They were a little hesitant actually. All three of them. They called it a relic.
I actually posted the entire Prima guide on FB
Sup it is I, I am here. What can I help yall with
Nothing 
Pulse checking you Taryn
Nothing, just Rahmi really really missing you 
I just started using Discord. Glad to see you here since I've been your fan for a decade.
Reason: Bad word usage
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Moderator perks
That word is a no-no, Taryn. Last time I used it, I got big
from Artemida
I wanted to upload my Pax flex pic with Tommy and little Nick, big Nick (I don't think they know this is how we are differentiating them XPP )and I didn't get the last GSC name, BUT it appears I can't post the pic here
Poor Taryn 
But it was a legendary weekend to finally be able to touch STALKER 2 at last. New keys wer Fing me up
Send in #📽-┃-contentmakers , then I can send it here, I guess.
I can post those for you
@loud gate Tommy is making fun of the fact that I don't say your name right BTW, and he told me how to say it and I don't like it and I am going to keep misprouncing it. BUT TBF I mispronounce almost all names I read it feels like soooo
@vernal magnet you better have recorded her say my name incorrectly bro 
I’m so locked for Thursday
yea bro, can't wait for S2 to release
BTW I died in the demo 3 times, pure cringe. First one which I suspected, was to a F@#%@#$% anomaly
You should die in the demo. It's a Stalker game. 🥳

Hah.. sounds like skill issue to me.
You'll enjoy this, I was trying to look at everything. LIke climb every building and shit, and bless their hearts they nudged me along and gave me more time but told me I needed to speed it up cuz I was taking too long XDDDDDDDD
Hey yall, do you have stikers of s.t.a.l.k.e.r to share? Its for use in whatsapp
I was trying so hard to be one with the zone, attack every box, climb up on the roofs lol
Did you get the ending cutscene where ||this fat fuсk
betrays you off to Ward and then Monolith does triple ambush?|| 
Oh yeah, they let me finish it and then I got to play it again before they closed shop. I tried a knife run. I gave up after rushing the bandits and getting just ruined each time lol But Tommy and I both managed to knife the blood sucker
Uh.. excuse me, based?
Wut?
Oh yeah yeah haha. I was really digging the sounds, the visuals. Stumbling over the controls so gameplay wise it wasn't clunky I just was clunky with it. I was asking if the opening scene was inspired by firestorms or like forest fire footage because that is really what it felt and looked like to me. I actually don't think I quite got an answer on that. But it was looking solid AF honestly. Very polished all around aside the occational thing that is expected to happen. I walked into a chair and it yeeted out the window into the distance hahah
What about yellow paint? 
lmao Tommy brought that up to them lol. Not sure if that was on video or not I feel like everything had to be but idk XD
I know, because he hates it with a passion lol
I truly didn't realize it was such a fuss, I have been pretty out of the loop 😅
I take it they didn’t tell anyone they weren’t allowed to talk about it? Of course no footage, but I’m surprised people can just describe exactly what happened
To my knowledge we are able to say what we would like on our expereince. As far as footage Tommy and I did get permission for our partners to record over our shoulders. So not sure what Tommy has, whenever I get my stuff rolling the main focus was the upgrade section and just looking at that more. Mind you we could only record in bits, not show all of it or too much.
Gotcha
Was hoping to ask though, how did gunfights feel in the demo? In the games the duration of fights is mostly determine by your rng luck with spread, even when upgraded to the max. Headshots nearly insta killing but that spread means it doesn’t happen all the time.
One of the things I’m most curious about is the gunfight dynamic now. Since shots are now tied to the crosshair with no visible spread from the footage we’ve seen, I’ve pictured simply one tapping enemies with perfect accuracy. Did they raise enemy health at all to compensate? How long do fights last now that guns are far more accurate?
MAH ZEE
Is it true stalker is finally getting released it’s not another lie like the last 12 years?😭
true stalker reference?
Stalker 2 I mean sorry but I genuinely curious I’ve been a stalker fan since 2018 and barely found out it had a discord😭
I never knew tell now there was a half life reference in SoC
will LOTZ switch be a physical copy
Yeah the dudes name is Freeman and his Bio says he was a scientist from the Us and has been missing for awhile
Not necessarily, it doesn’t particularly need to be explained either, as he left the faction after going to Pripyat with degtyarev anyway
Bro is the happiest fella in the world
hey guys , how much will the 2 extra dlc`s cost ?
and season pass is like monthly ?
i am trying to decide which edition to go for
Ultimate
I'm assuming it'll be 15 dollars for each expansion, judging by the difference in price for each pre order edition. And season passes usually last until all the dlc is out for single player games.
Not every Player took him on that trip. Some people left him behind in Jupiter, because they were unable to recruit him. Some people immediately executed all the Monolith when they first saw them, before they understood they could talk to them. Some people got him to join Duty and some people got him to join Freedom. Call of Pripyat is full of variables that some people never see, because they played it once and moved on to other Mods.
I wonder if they're going to do all good quest endings or a mix
It's all fun and games when you realize Messer was meant to be the actual protagonist

Yeah but it’s canon since he’s in HoC and made the noon faction
Is gunplay different from previous Stalkers? As in, did you notice RNG when aiming down sights?
No it seems bullets actually go where you aim them
As long as your gun is in good condition it'll shoot straight
Just turn firing mode to 1 if you wanna snipe
Yes, we have no control over what is put in Stalker 2. That's fine, I'm not complaining, as I'm sure we will find even more surprises. 🧐
I just hope I have enough money for S2😔
epic embed fail
I knifed the bloodsucker too! You must be the one the guys at the booth were talking about.
The demo felt very tight. I was punished for aiming poorly, but using the rifle with semi-auto and aiming carefully, I took down three bandits with headshots. It was rewarding.
S.... Ss.... Skill.. issue....
its either anomaly or bloodsucker
She likely did explore every inch. I did not, I ended up running through too quickly. I think the problem is they only had it on STALKER, not Master difficulty.
It felt very weird to sprint with shift instead of X though
Can't wait to get ripped in half in 4k ultra hd 
I'll still be playing on my same keyboard:

So thankful for the original trilogy being released on console. I’m thoroughly enjoying SOC and can see why this franchise is so beloved. So hardcore. So brutal. Very thankful to be around for the sequel
I'm still shocked they got it to run better on Console than PC. Granted, they had what... 20 years. But no stutter?
I want to hate you for that keyboard, but it looks very useful.
It's incredibly useful. I have my left had doing everything I need in the circle part on the left, and my right hand on the mouse. I don't really need to touch the regular keyboard part. These can be found used on E-Bay.
Have a model number?
Look for Wolf Claw or Wolf King gaming keyboards.
Good shtuff. Thanks, Tejas.
There's one right now on E-Bay in the UK. Says it is in someone's cart. They go fast.
Not my region, but I'll look around.
That's the Wolf King. There are two Wolf Claws ( same thing ) In Alabama and Idaho. Not sure where you are, haven't looked yet.
I've had mine since 2005.
I've had a Kensington since about the same time lol
I was at PAX West earlier today... so that tells you that.
They might as well put that in Alaska, it was so far up in the north-west.
You mean PAX?
You're angry that the convention that started in Seattle, by a Seattle based company, is in Seattle?
PAX west in Washington, right?
I'm not angry at all. Just talking geography. I can drive hundreds and hundreds of miles, and I still can't get out of my State.
That's your fault for living in a stolen almost-country
I'm not sure what you mean.
Texas was straight up stolen from Mexico...?
And is larger than a lot of other countries out there.
You don't steal when you go to war and one side loses. Besides Texas was a country first before it joined the United States later.
Reductionist history at its best
Six Flags over Texas: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, The CSA and then USA. That's also the orgin name of the theme parks.
That's a cool bit I did not know.
Seattle is nice. Took a ship there one time.
One of my most favorite stories of US history is Lewis & Clark.
Man that hurt so much
Someone in the content creators has
I think he's Ukrainian
Can confirm? @lean furnace
Recently I've started to think that Faust is cute. Could it be the effect of the monolith? Is it time to change my role's faction selection?
New faction selection rolls yet?
And hello! 
I wish you all a good day be well
modding intensifies
Chat so thirsty GSC could make BANK selling Faust body pillows...
Eh
Oh monolith…
I want it !!!

I'm willing to receive my royalties for this idea in Nonstop energy drink
pretends not to know but cannot un-know
How much time did it take to slay the beast with a knife, approximately?
Two more da..... oh
It sounds like a Faust quote. If this happens, I'll find it at any cost.
🌏
so stalker game serie is inspired by a movie made by andrei tarkovsky right?
No
Stalker is a direct consequence of WarCraft 2000
That and the novel Roadside Picnic (which also inspired Tarkovsky's film).
Stalker 2 seems to be taking far heavier Tarkovsky inspiration and potentially even from (the film adaptation of) Annihilation - which again took inspiration from Tarkovsky
The Doc quote about what the zone is is very similar to something The Stalker says.
ye thats why i tought its inspired
i mean the one in the movie is created by an asteroid thingy but theyre still similar to each other
this is the warcraft intro
i mean you cant make the two connected because of nuclear explosions
They were both made by GSC Game World Studios
That was, as far as I know, the first game GSC worked on
Feeling kinda tense about the launch of S2. It’s the first time in many years where I’ve been genuinely excited for something, but also optimistic in its success. After so many failures in recent years that killed my motivation I really hope this one turns the tide
Remain optimistic
Refraining from pre ordering but I have hope 
people at demo said it was good
The Annihilation movie is nothing like the book though. It seems like Garland borrowed the skeleton of the book's plot to build his own "mirror image" of Tarkovsky's Stalker on top of it. The most glaring proof is that the leader of the previous expedition looks exactly like The Stalker.
Yeah that much has me hopeful. Honestly there isn’t too much I need for it to be solid. The major things for me are its story and gunfight dynamic as that’s what I’ll be spending most of my time engaging with, but I also don’t want to be spoiled when looking at it come launch…
Suppose I’ll wait to hear the general consensus on both then take the plunge 
Keen to see what it is folks here are looking forward to the most with it
Chat are we getting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on platforms like GeForce now?
no
until nov 20 2024 yeah
is sadge but also, leaves me time to replay CoP
Oh monolith oh monolith give me Faust.
what is geforce platform?
GeForce Now is Nvidia's cloud gaming, if I'm not mistaken
Annihilation book was peak
I hope they take some inspiration from that series
eForce NOW instantly transforms your laptop, desktop, Mac, TV, Android device, iPhone, or iPad into the powerful PC gaming rig you’ve always dreamed of.
so they hosting a game and streaming to you
S2 got delayed again?!
The hell it's not even a month since the last delay
no
Yes, 2026
I dont understand it

We will have GTA 6 before S2 ?!
Yes, it's very sad
Why do you hate gunslinger ?!
no
We will have a S2 Mod in gta 6
Cap 🧢
no chance
Anyone knows which gameplay mod is used in Volnyckyi's video that was just posted in the media channel?
I mean whichever mod changes how the character holds the pistol, weapon sounds and adds more weapons, not the story mod since that one's in the title.
Come on Vasim
Say the line
That one about animation systems
no spas 12 😭
cant be modified
i tried to import the ogf of the gunslinger weapons and suddenly my blender crash
I would recommend asking here #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
Thanks 😄
when irl stalker frfr
Omg
Hi Mol1t
hello
I can't believe stalker 2 got delayed until 2025

Cant believe Mol1t isnt getting a raise for answering Krezzins 184 questions

Fake news
At least give the guy 6 months off...paid...
Only 184?
Weren't they 400?

Last I saw answered had number 184 
@solid dome
That's why I can't believe it
#📜┃gsc-answers message
Yup
Last answered was 184 
184 are rookie numbers
hi antimonolith friends
its gameplay and technical changes
guys
Oh come one
You were supposed to say "mah muh errr animation system muh muh cant cancel operation meeeh muh grrrr"
I can answer 1K questions per minute, all with the insightful answer of "perhaps"
New article on S2 by PC Gamer's Harvey Randall: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/stalker-2-heart-of-chernobyl-is-downright-gorgeous-using-modern-tech-to-further-draw-its-player-into-the-atmosphere-the-first-game-wanted-to-create/
man, gunslinger is like a unoficial remaster
What will you do with Snorks in S2?

Ill shoot them

vist
true
Crystal balls🔮🔮 say: "Perhaps."
Gunslinger is unofficial way to ruin the game
For CS that would be ABR
why do u say that?
Because its true
arguments?
Oh I sure do love when my relatively fast paced midrange shooter game gets halted to speeds only comparable to French WWI offensives
lmao, anyways if you play it well on gunslinger you move fast and smooth
but the difficulty must been set on stalker
You move fast untill you need to...
Reload
Check map
Open inventory
Use a consumable
Change your gun
Accidentally stop holding the sprint button
PEAK gameplay
Sure doesnt feel like series of traffic lights
or rookie, the game is barely playable if you play it in a higher difficulty
actually, youre right
I LOL'd at that last a life question and answer! @glossy blade deflecting the question like a pro but the person asking set him up perfectly 😂
anyways I love the 3d pda
Hope everyone who managed to make it to PAX had a good time
the tunnels of the jupiter plant are like being in hell in gunslinger @granite mortar
No
because the seva suit has low weight limit
Thanks to snorks getting stuck and your guns being accurate, its piss easy
Just
Aim for the head
Im not only bad, but Im low at framerate too
so thats kinda hard
Same with Monolith
You can kill them from the other side if the dome where they dont even see you before half of them is dead
I played it on i5 650 and GT-730

Idr the exact model
but I got 358mb of vram, and 3gb of ram ddr2
windows 10 eats all my ram
less than a gigabyte to play
Gunslinger is its own thing with its own vision, and balancing
Balancing?
Bro I heard that more than " I love you "
when release
You already said that
what
Yes, they balance your high accuracy and damage with the gunslinger burers
Ohhh
Smart

I want my level back
Altho
The burers can be defeated with simple stairs
and a toz
Never found a burer in a house or a closed area. Why ?!
The horn will make him stuck lol
Guys ugly girl or cute femboy?
do you have anything of substance to say
And an RPG
And a Gauss rifle
and grenades
Bro Tommy looks FOCUSED in that pic lmao
If it's female I want it 
Not grenades
They yeet them away
Clearly, bro's been waiting years for that moment lol
:3
Whoever has the better personality
Decade* 
This is stalker chat 
Which is also years.. but sounds scarier 
Naw this is now a war thunder server
But in the tunnel
When the burer is at control panel
You wait on the stairs, crouch in a way so you see when their shield is down, you peek out and blast with shotgun
Aaaand repeat..
@still ridge
He locked tf in
I would've loved to go to PAX, but too far
And I'm busy cri
why?
@glossy blade
I hope soon
brain rotting
Also it's like not related to gaming at all
Hopefully he doesn't ban the word kot
Can he ban "Strelok" too so we are forced to use "Gunslinger" and "Arrow"?
I will time you out for 15 minutes if you hate on CS

One day I will ban eveything that is not cat emoji

Peak sky
Based
Matter of fact, I will ban you if you hate on CoP
Kot
Omg
Another cat server to join
Yippeee
Oof I forgot no perms
It’s just peak
mod abuse is real
peak of the bottom I know edi 
its fine tho, I always scrape the bottom of the plate when I make food
What about the NDA Rock emoji Mol1t?
my old love


Can we get an NDA cat?
cats over stones
OK listen to me. Cats with stones
How about a cat throwing an NDA Rock?
!!
@glossy blade plz, I'll be your frend
once Prophet is back I will push him to help me with new emojis
Fantastic 
Gotta give that to Gunslinger, the controller skill is good though
Don't steal my ideas, i already suggested that
good at ruinning the game
Ummm, Nuh Uh
@loud gate plz help
Molt btw you guys posted the best picture of Tommy

Please -> 
Tbh it's a good feature
for someone who likes to set the controller down like if theyre playing uncharted, sure
It makes controllers actually dangerous
just a shame I like gameplay
It's like how it should be lorewise as well
Mmm, help with?

Controller can make you shoot yourself like in Cop
we should make bloodsuckers awful to fight as well then
you do know how this ends right
you will play NLC7
ho yhea
we should also make chimeras and pseudogiants impossible to kill
lore accurate

So I see people all the time complain about injured monoliths suicide bombing…
Is me always shooting anyone injured in the head how I’ve always avoided this, and never even encountered it ingame?
How can you improve them though? Bloodsuckers already have all the skills in the gameplay, the thing i am saying is that controllers can make you shoot yourself but they can't do that in game, it's a nice thing if they actually have this set of ability added to some controllers or if it's like within a certain range etc
Wait what
Someone abuses mods?
Vasim, if Gunslinger devs abuse you verbally or in any other way, just tell me bestie 
there are ways to make controllers actually dnagerous without making it a annoying and harmful stop gap in gameplay, but of course, its all outside the scope of Gunslinger
no aboose here sir
no sirie
Omg
Doggo
I still believe that it is a cool ability if given to like the most dangerous controllers
not every controller because otherwise it would be repetitive
its like having a boss be killed by a quick time event, its useless and at some point just voids the player freedom, which is smth that gunslinger loves to do but regardless
why?
In S2 the controller has a psi field
you'd take psy pills either way
same with gunslinger
just stay out of their range or take psy pills
Errrmm
That was already a feature with pepsiman in Clear Sky 🤓
you can give gameplay elements to controllers that dont negativelly hamper the gameplay and freedom of the player but of course, with many "atmospheric" mods, everything needs to be accompined with a long winded, self mastubartory animation
You can avoid its control if you run away
exactly, its fucking idiotic
in terms of tips to fight a controller it's "don't fight it head on in close range within its visual field"
hooo gunslinger doesnt force your hand to any kind of gameplay
literally railroads you to one kind of gmaeplay approach
it's boring to always shoot at mutants the same way with every other mutants
then why are you saying that Gunslinger does it better when Gunslinger promotes passivity
the Gunslinger tatic is to always be 1000 meters away and fire 3 bursts and run away
copy paste
youre done
Because you'd have to be aware of their range or take psy pills (which increases its utility)
so its bad when you kill amutants all the same way, but its good when gunslinger has you kill mutants and enemies all the same way
you can still give utility to psy blockers without blocking ways of killing controllers
I am only talking about the controller's skill, it's a cool idea that could be implemented in S2, not copy pasted like it is with Gunslinger, but it is indeed a cool concept to add to gameplay
its just bullshit
Only good feature of Gunslinger is the rainbow vision you get after consuming vodka, psyblock amd medkit in quick succession
Not always
With correct set of items you get hallucinations
its a bad idea that should never be implemented, instead you should look into other ways of making it hard to kill, for example, disorientating you and showing you false projections, making you think youre somehwere you arent, clouding your visions in more interesting ways, etc etc
Gunslinger is a good man
You can do that as well, but it would be nice if the AI has these tools available and based on a possibility of which action will do
making it more dynamic
but eh, to me Gunslinger implemented that controller skill really good
you cannot change my mind
my position hasnt changed, there are ways to make them more dangerous without resorting to assanine gameplay tatics that take away the freedom of the player to play in whichever playstyle he wants
Bro they really showed a picture of Tommy playing stalker😂

While RPing as that thing from Pan's Labyrinth

Dude in the gasmask must be having some serious immersion
Wheres the video, Tommy? 
dont you worry, it's coming. im editing it. and waiting for my voice to finish healing
so i can finish narrating it

You heard his reactions to trailers man, he got to actually PLAY it this time
yea
I was lucky not to completely lose it until I was travelling home.
believe me when I say this video is gonna be the best one yet
it was a wild trip
Hope it was everything you were hoping it would be, looking forward to the video
It ended up being more than I could have ever hoped for. There was a major surprise
ive installed the game but its only appearing and using 272MB, wheres the other 150GB?
help 🥲
Did you download stalker2.exe from a megaupload link?
no im on xbox
preload isnt active yet if thats what you mean
ok
game as not released it lmao
wait 2 more months
well yeah, most games allow you to install before release
2 months before?
Usually not 2 months ahead lol
yh

Hopefully not messing up all of the control buttons tho plz 😅 I've seen guys on YT suggesting it thinking it's hella fun to constantly stumble through the keys
That’s the placeholder asset that Xbox keeps. Its been a thing for a year and its avaible on every game
The actual preload is not active
😳
Until normal preload goes up I think it just reserves the disk space
Wait hold up, the game is 150 forking gigabytes?
Ok with all due respect this is just the wrong take
Unfortunately not that unusual for a game of this scope and fidelity these days
okay thanks
pretty normal for a game of that size and graphics
The gunslinger controller is one of the best parts of the mod, it makes them wayyyyy scarier whether you want to admit it or not
I'll have to buy a new ssd bruh...
If not more
the GRANATA button : are you sure about that
Especially since it seems like so much of the game world is bespoke rather than reusing a lot of assets
Can’t you just uninstall some games?
WRONG
best part of Gunslinger is that its in separate folder and as such, easy to uninstall
Yes
it is one of the worst parts of the mod as it further dissentivises you from actually taking risks and forces you into a passive style of snipping
I said one of 
Unreal Engine 5 is a big and heavy engine
Unfortunately most of my stuff I keep stored... I guess I could buy an external hdd for storing them but it's too much of a bother lol
I wont speak of internals
And STALKER 2 is also a big game, loads of content and a 64 Kilometer Square map
The other are all also related to uninstalling
Except for one
That being MODDB crashes making it impossible to install in the first place
Like the controller in the originals didn’t force the same process of hiding and peaking and so on and so forth?
I mean be real
the controllers in the original did not lock you into a dumb animation that is only there for the sake of looking cool and not advancing the gameplay in any meaningful way no
the controllers in the original made close querters combat hard but manageable, it was a reward, Gunslinger likes to slap you for trying to do smth fun
Only to close the distance for more precise headshots or a quick nade throw
Ok disregarding this, it makes perfect sense why a controller would be able to do this though?
in lore? sure
but if we were to equate everything in gameplay to lore you would have a worse game since you will always need to make gameplay concessions to make the game actually fun
if they can control other stalkers into shooting you against their will, why wouldn’t they be able to make you turn your own weapon against yourself?
It’s CoP. It’s not that bad
if your only desire is to see smth cool, it is a net positive, but as an actual gameplay feature it is a very bad thing
its flair not substance
the only mutants that add substance are the chimeras and burers in CoP
if your argument is that it doesnt matter that a bad gameplay mechanic is implemented into CoP bc CoP is the worst gmaeplay of the series, I dont see the point in arguing for good and bad mechanics to begin with
I mean dude how many times do you even fight a controller in CoP to begin with. 4 or 5?
They’re not a common enough enemy to actually make the game worse
you do fight them no? making each encounter with them exponentially worse
Cuz controller will have to completely overpower your mind & actually take control of it in order to actually make you do something. If you have a mental resilience to fight his will (and the animation shows a player struggling against controller's influence) — then you're not under his control yet.
your argument is that it doesnt matter bc the damage is small when it could not even be there to begin with
The only controller fight that’s actually challenging in gunslinger is when you’re collecting that altered artifact thing with topol and his crew
Because it’s SICK and really not thaaat bad as a gameplay choice
It looks cool, yes, but it’s not so bad that it makes the game WORSE
does that mean I can take a shit in your meal just bc its mcdonalds and not a 5 star meal?
the shit, is still in my plate
I dont understand the argument
Alright. Side note, gunslinger is GOOD because it makes the game more challenging without being challenging for the sake of it. (misery, anomaly, GAMMA.)
What do you think of THAT vasim?

Gunslinger is BAD as it fucks up the gameplay for very little reason and introduces janky and badly made systems that make the game worse in their implementation
I really wouldnt have much problem as long as the system was actually good instead of like that
I don’t see how the weapon modifications are worse
who talked about that?
weapon animations are broken
weapon modification system in stalker 2 is going to be similar to gunslinger. Sorry not sorry.
Gunslinger and vanilla CoP
thats not the problem with Gusnlinger
if anything
its the only good thing of the skeleton
How are they broken ?
Also yeah, stalker 2 weapon modding seems to be a cross between visual changes like in gunslinger, and stat changes like in the originals
the animation system relies on hard animations as opposed to having the legwork be mainly done using proc animations, which ends up with a janky system that blocks the execution of actions based on arbritrary animations that are invisible
the final enpoint of this is for example, how reloading a weapon in Gunslinger blocks any other kind of animation locked mechanic, which Gunslinger relies on
you can look at OP OGSR to see a system of Proc Gen that actually works as it integrates animation smoothing but still allows cancelling
This is a fair point
Not as bad as gamma though 😭😭
Good LORD
as opposed to systems that use the GA system, which may end up worse than Gunslinger as the problems pile up on top, ala True Stalker where you literally couldnt tap your shoots as the mere action of tapping had mismatched timings for animations
It does make the game worse by limiting players' tactical approaches & locking players in an animation which makes no sense, honestly. Controllers puppeteer only those who they've managed to turn into zombies — that's how they get the control, turning a sentient being into a veggy. Controller can make zombies shoot themselves — sentient beings have to become zombies first, and I see no point why controller would order its puppet to shoot itself instead of joining the lil army. Hunger? Can kill the pray via psy-impulse as usual & the meal is served 🤷🏻♂️
Topol and his crew didn’t become zombies after being taken control over
Neither did the guy in the cave
or ||ghost||
They did, it's just that their models didn't change for obvious reasons. The rest have been straight up killed via controller's psy-impulses/rad.
They didn’t become zombies, if they did, they would keep attacking you after you killed the controller in the tunnel
No war talk 
Reason: Bad word usage
Been playing it recently to see what the fuss is about, and sometimes the pistol just doesn’t shoot when I click, could that be down to that animation system blocking my input?
Duty vs Freedom
Once S2 drops this server is gonna be cooked.
Get out while you still can
Enjoy our freedom for the next month
Don’t know if there’s any kind of jam system but it just felt like my input was completely ignored
I mean, it's hard to leave em behind for the time being & not kill them on spot while you're dealing with a controller as they're getting the player killed real fast, so there's an asterisk to the example. The mission revolves around killing the controller asap BEFORE your buddies go crazy, cuz after that it becomes extra hard to keep em alive. So I'd say the idea is they're meant to get zombified if you fail to take the bastard down
shadow of chernobyl?
or clear sky?
Stalker Trilogy and HoC are best in vanilla. Just changing the textures at best is enough to enjoy the game.
I mean, what game are u talking about?
Henlo
hoc?
Call of Pripyat
then Im lost
...to the Zone
what tunnel?
Heart of Chernobyl
They mean stalker 2
oh
that makes sense, I didnt know what tunnel were they talking about, because the only controller in cop that I know is the weird cave controller in Zaton
SoC, CS, CoP, and HoC
The one with the brick building in the side of a hill, you go there as part of a scientist mission
damn ecologists
that reminds me of a cool sfm
Common - Consciousness…
the protagonist is a merc
Can’t imagine I’ll be playing it for long. Can see the appeal for people who just want endless missions and do enjoy its combat, but it’s progression just isn’t satisfying
I hope I can buy the game
Heart of Chornobly, the name of STALKER 2
So the full name goes as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobly
I know
Stalker 2 team speak when
Honestly, we should do it
Chornobyl*
Lol
Damn, I didn’t even figured out I made the spelling mistake. Y’all can bully me for 4 minutes
nah, youre good
Monolith spotted, praise be the big rock 
@old jungle might you know?
already doin it
We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.
Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith
Oh Monolith, we do not hear you, why have you left us, oh Monolith? We await your orders, oh Monolith.
we are crying monolith
The Jenkan version is much better tbh
Probably the peakest thing ever
yeah
Nothing is more peak than Peak Sky
This is "We thank you, oh Jekan, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.

the vanilla version of clear sky runs worse than the vanilla version of cop in my computer
idk why
Your computer is stupid 😤
But the more likely option is that the graphics of Clear sky are better and more demanding
I got a acer aspire 5920
a common one, not the g version
so even gmod runs poorly
Do you run it on dynamic or static?
I am pretty sure it's open
what thing?
Greetings stalkers of the zone I am a new arrival here
Reason: Posted an invite
Oh, yeah, i'll just send in DM then.
Bruh
what, my computer is garbage
do you have the budget to get a cheap PC or even Xbox?
And it still runs horribly 
I think series S is like 200 bucks
Im trying to sell a wacom intuos pro paper edition m size that is around 1100 bucks but I couldnt sell it
Im getting a pc with a ryzen 5500 and a radeon 6600 32gb of ram
2 sticks of ddr4
yes
Im from Argentina so everything is more expensive
slowly
snail speed
but to do it everything gets SO expensive so in a couple years the things are gonna be somehow ok
Reason: Bad word usage
maybe it wont be ok, just less bad
Reason: Bad word usage
The game is not gonna come out for old gen, isnt it?
Nothing announced for that yet so I wouldn't assume it
if kruglov is back in stalker 2 it's game of the year before it even releases
It looks too good to be on old gen
without looking like mortal kombat 1 for the nintendo switch
im running clear sky on 60fps
No chance
with 4090 and 13700k
good 4 u
I cant even play hl1 on more than 50 fps
It doesnt reach 60
it'd be lethal copium to even have a shred of hope in that
from journalists who played on xbox said image looks very sharp and nice and think it was atleast 60fps
my condolences
Peak
Is it just called 100 rads bar?
I tried finding it and couldn't 
time to continue on my stalker trilogy marathon
I sent invite
Many thanks
trust me there will be more : get wolfed

Hello, guys. I live in Ukraine, and i want to gift Stalker 2 to my friend, who is from the US. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't allow me to do that, because prices for the game in our countries are different. I'm ready to pay as much as needed, but i don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me with that?
Hope we finally get deiveable vehicles so I can road trip into the zone in my trabant Chernmobile
mm, not sure if possible.
No its open to join
if you have issue joining shoot me a message
He already did, dw.
ok cool im blind lol
Hello blind lol 
Spartan Kozi posted an invite to an adult website, got hammered swiftly
Ma boe @nimble cipher
You grind blind?
Smh 😤
Can't believe you mozi
I can't believe the mozi spartan did that.
Reason: Bad word usage

what does SSAO mode means
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. It's a graphical technique for lighting
thamks
Mozi account compromised? Or just him being dippy?
Yeah but do you have the Wolf pass?
Idk if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if america is getting physical preorders, I don't see anything online about it other than some reddit comments saying we're not getting it
What else is there to do besides notify me of level ups?

I miss your current location on Twitter not being on Wild Island. 
wow…
Omg
Cat

Heh, someone noticed
My friend is constantly observing your account. And of course your YouTube channel.
Stalkers..
Look who's speaking 😆

I also watch your youtube channel all the time. Mozi and you are my favorites.
Nice 
Any ideas when gsc will show something on A life 2.0?
Thanks!

I would like to support them in some way someday. Thank you for always providing high quality content.
November 20th
Of course! Thanks for the great content and Twitter account information.
Every time i see this Faust emoji, I mistake it for an unknown object on my screen, sometimes even a fly.

Same lol

What a thing! It needs to be bigger or brighter. 

Make it a sticker 
Faust to be my wife yet?
💐
Can we get a clue👀
Make it thicker
Make it flicker
Make it quicker
No 
Because I don't know either, but my idea is October IGN First
At some point between now and the heat death of the universe

I didn't know about this event so thanks for bringing to my attention
We need to add glitter 
I got a question, is there a disc with the game in physical editions?
no, only an activation code for Steam
Only with XBOX
For consoles yes for pc a steam activation code
No, it's not a confirmed thing either, just something that big games do one month prior to release usually
ok ok thank you
Or bitter

Or cat litter
Cat shittеr 
Ahh gotcha👍
Ryan gosling isn’t real
Impossible
@still ridge I managed to get strider! :D
Turns out the cooling tower anomaly was just enough to get him on my side
can't wait to see tommy flipping out while playing the demo
Stripper Goslink
where might I get some ammo for the Vintar BC? Doesn't sell any in yanov station
there's a stash at the ventilation complex in one of the broken vents
I sell you if you bring me 4 bloodsucker toes @hardy bear
buy it from Owl at Skadovsk
Lawl
cheers, might head back then before carrying on with the tunnels
that intro sequence is so good haha
No toes, no dinner
man these snorks are something else
Read the venturebeat interview. It was quite good and very interesting.
Just read it, Jesus I couldnt imagine having to work in those conditions, having to end calls early and stuff because of a missle alert
Yeah. And they were open that the game needed the last delay for polish, but seem to have a lot of confidence in the team and the game
Hi is there a creator programme for this that we can apply for?
Is there a form, or website I can send my details or stat to apply?
Message Mol1t about it. check these requirements first however #📺┃media message

Hi Spartan thanks for the message. Can I send you some screen shots of my channel stars
Stats
I meet that criteria I believe
I just reread your message
I'm a content creator, but I don't meet any of those criterias 
Then just message Mol1t and you'll sort it out with him.
I just have, cheers for your help dude
np :P
The tunnel raid in cop is such a blast. I appreciate how each of the team members you bring have a little showcase of their skills, really does feel like a reward for doing the side quests
shame it's AN ESCORT QUEST if you want to keep them alive
You need to have at least a couple of media posts for stalker yk?
You gotta post some before getting the role, or discuss exception terms with a CM (and ofc you got to have some media on stalker regardless)
HELP ME STALKER
Mission failed : Escort mission
Good fella , Watcha doin by the way ?
brainstormin' STALKER stuff

I also found out what Diet Sausage was
apparently, back in the soviet union days, the lack of sufficient nutrition for citizens was responded with mass-production of "Doctor's Sausage"-- which was literally perscribed to patients who were dying of malnutrition
it's literally SPAM, but in the shape of a sausage
damn he knows
and the reason why it's called "Diet Sausage" is because the Russian Government holds onto that trademark and copyright of "Doctor's Sausage" like it's the one thing keeping their country together
so the devs had to simply call it "Diet Sausage"
I think I figured out a more lore-accurate food for Filkov to eat all the time instead of SPAM
I'll just make it so he loves Diet Sausage over most foods
his ideal lunch is bread and diet sausage
washed down with water or vodka
he doesn't smoke, but he carries cigarettes and a lighter for his comrades
500 cigs
lmao that would be a jackpot for trade
500 SGs
500 Pkm
that's because it is at this rate
lmao true, true
Ak Trpohy
500 obokans
basically
it's nice
i have a good meme idea if someone wants to animate it. the settings is in red forest forester's place. say '500 vintar bc' to forester like that and have a ton of vintars spawns in his bowl. referencing that infamous bug as seen here
More food.
Meat from tourists?
Tourist conserve 
Wassup
Tourist delight may seem unpleasant. but if you dont have it you are quite prepubesant. While you eat your sasuages that are the size of a lossenge. Real stalkers eat tourists delight. It will serve you right
I only eat snork fingers 
cannibalism

Guys stalker is an action rpg right
(there is action and you are playing a role in a game)
you can call it an RPG due to the balancing and progression inherent to the game, it is roundabout and it is rpg*
I guess it's also a spectacle fighter
When I go to the pre-order on the website it tells me to fill out my information for when they’re able to send it to me, it doesn’t say anything about it being sold out

I really want it though. I can only imagine how many POS’s bought it just to sell it at an inflated price
Here's another feedback from PAX West with some interesting footage displaying the Burner & high rad effects on the player + a short fight with a boar, I believe #📸┃screens_and_videos message
Just order from one of the shops listed in #🖤┃s2-pre-order
Or from Steam/GOG if you want digital edition
Eh... didn't feel too much like an escort mission. Just kill everything before it kills you, ez. 
Also baiting them to attack you works kind of. Just don't get hit too much in the process
Offence is the best defence. By which I mean swear at the enemy.
STALKER usually is medical condition
If you are diagnosed with the Heart of Chornobyl, you'll have it for life. Its incurable.
Clips from the Gamescom demo with a purely in-game sound 👌🏻
Yes, but where does it originate from?
Also, weird.. because the screenshots of GC2024 were also released last night silently
Is it part of press kit?
I feel like some Asian folks just have a bit more info than we do, given some of the screens you've shared yesterday featured a Japanese (if I'm not mistaken?) UI
Yes, but those pics were clearly older btw
Because they differ just slightly from the new ones.
Also, it's true that Chinese media got to play 2hours of the game, so clearly they know a bit more lol
The channel that uploaded the Gamescom clips also has some hieroglyphs in its name, so I guess allat is coming from a similar source
I'll go ask
What if the voices in my head call me an claim to be Pripyat?
Is Kuro an AI trying to intimidate me?
Be pripyat
Yes be pripyat listen to the voice
No
Why no
Hi im not sure if this is the right place to ask but i just started playing stalker when they released on xbox and I'm on CoP now and i was just wondering if its possible to remove the scope from the sniper (Lynx)?
Or is there another SvD in vanilla that you can get?
No, can’t
Pripyat stinks
Limansk better
I will only answer the call of Limansk to uncover its secrets
How do I upgrade my edition through steam
Do I just buy the more expensive version and it automatically changes the price to the difference?
Or do I have to do a whole refund process


TASK COMPLITED : Kill Mercenary Scar

just imagine..it will be funny if Strelok was ordered to kill Scar
Something feels off about Scar in the trailer
Sounded more like a lunatic then a merc
I mean it's like he lost his mind or something
C-Con marked him to be one with zone and they want him to miss lead the player and then throw him in a trap (not astolfo) and trying to kill player at end of game
Doesn't look that old either
And then we get a gauss rifle to finish him off 
GSC will be quite based if they done the next :
Restores you back of events of clear sky and you're having an fight with Scar to stop him From shooting strelok and you trying to kill Scar while emission hitting and maybe somehow you saved Lebedov
I just wanna save Suslov
Or Cold, he's a cool character
REBORN canon now
I want to save 4 character : Lebedov , Ghost , Fang , Tachenko Founder of the duty
Why founder of duty : because his death doesn't make sense at alllll
What was the name of that guy who worked with Nitro? The one that fell into an anomaly at Jupiter
beside being a duiter but : think about it... like , duty knows how to deal with zone.. how they got stucked in that anomaly.. and it doesn't make sense at all for me even for anothers
fell into an anomaly ?
Cardan move to jupiter to work with nitro
Same as those Mercs in CS who fell into that space bubble, but Duty guys got hit by anomalies inside it I guess
but it still does not make sense
That's after CoP
I meant that drunk sleepyhead who was sitting next to Nitro
oh
you meant sniffer or whatever his name is
he stole the UAV model and died next to strelok stash
That one
Does anyone know the answer?
No, you have to pay full again.
Dang
Yeah :(
a rx6600 8gb and a ryzen 5 5500 (32gb ram) will be enough for stalker 2?
No official plan has been shared for that matter, it might or might not happen tho.
someone knows?
nobody knows until it launches
there are no test requierements to have as a base?
Might do, if we end up with the same SR or something similar
the requirements on the steam page haven't changed for years, and would be rather outdated - for better or worse. Only way you'll know for sure is to just wait for benchmarks
oh, ok
The team is doing all they can to keep the old requirements or minimize the change. They are doing real effort to optimize the game.
goodness me Mol1t is still on the answers grind, absolute champ
When it comes to requirements as long as your pc is relative to console you should be fine imo
what an awful place
yeagh

I just can't believe Mercenary Scar and Scar in the new trailer are the same person. I would like to somehow clear up this concern.
Perhaps I have become too attached to my Mercenary Scar.
10 years can change someone a lot

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. agent programming induced brain damage
Just compare what you got with what GSC says doe
So excited for tomorrow, guys!! It's finally time to play Stalker 2!! 


Alexander game on gog. Where are you?
I wonder if Tommy would upload his stuff tomorrow just to twist that knife even more 😅


does anyone know when the Shadow of the Zone movie is released? I cant find the date
Aloha
Howdy-ho
HELP ME STALKER
Tomorrow a new trailer 
Tomorrow release of game 
💀 +

I'm sure of the trailer, they can't leave us like this on the old official date 
What couple of months? Release Date is September 5 
oh
Harris take your pills
Youre schizo
What disconnection from Monolith does to a mf...
New release date (2025)
yikes
It IS Szeptember 5.
Next year.
I would like to discuss Faust!

its hard to explain but i feel like playing far cry 1 made me better at stalker
When will he become Prophet Mozi? 
he already is
Excellent! Perfect!

@loud gate prophet Moz Moz

i hope he talk about clear sky
I’m talking about the ultimate edition :>
Ultimate edition doesnt exist
It is just old urban like Easter Bunny or Britain
stalker movie when
Stalker PC ultimate physical edition when?!
Happiness
When...

||The answer is||
||NOVEMBER 20TH
||
I feel like GSC skipped my epic question
Smh

Omg
Cat
They should drop it and be like “actually, we didn’t need that extra time”
Please no, i haven't set up my PC yet
Almost mistook that emote for a bug on screen when it's smaller in the reply 😂
I'm ready
did you guys heard about costums discord channels supports wagner and is anti ukrain. There is a reddit post talking and warns about that
Ew lol more Ztards
Oh….. the title itself on the embed is already concerning
More proof anomaly sucks may they get blown up by HIMARS or ATACAMS 
Can gsc do something about that?
Based
Well its not directly anomaly, i dont think that the anomaly devs supports the modpack team from customs
but i get what you mean
ANOMALY?!?!?! Seems crazy
