what
They removed the steelbook from the pre order of the game
They made Amazon and other companies change the pictures to remove the steelbook
they probably ran out
The demands to return to the zone are too high that they unfortunately cannot meet them just yet. 🫡
I think they just decided not to sell it with the normal edition and such short notice as I’ve had it pre ordered forever now and every place has removed the steelbook
They misspelled Red Forest
I thought the Cadillac was out of place, being at an obscure location inside the Exclusion Zone. It wasn't a great movie as a lot of the dialogue was trash, but the photography and acting wasn't too bad. I just want to be positive about it and not be negative towards their effort. I would say compared to how few movies we see on said subject, any attention to get people to play GSC's games are a good thing.
Are you the one that sold all your artifacts and never figured out how to use them?
except it had a budget that was both absolutely insane and if I recall correctly was delayed multiple times
it's a cool idea but honestly would've preferred another SCP movie because the last one wasn't half bad
this is just disappointment pure and simple
now clear sky :3
I guess my expectations were much, much lower than yours.
good i managed to used them before i got better artifcts
is it good?
I had any because of the amount of effort put into it
i need tips
i don't think it is, but try and see for yourself
the end result just isn't good despite all the effort and money
which is a shame because there are some good moments
The worst part to me was all the nonsense call signs for various locations as they traveled. I understand with the open radio chatter, they were using unidentifiable names so the enemy wouldn't know where they were. However, I feel it was a missed opportunity to mention actual zone locations, so viewers would have felt more of an emotional attachment to places they knew. The mix of Duty helping Mercs felt strange and having only one Loner with them was unexpected. The ambiguous ending was good, as I was really expecting the Loner to tell the Mercs, when they asked where he was going, to say "Home".
vintar is the most fun weapon there
fun because its effective, it actually kills
its relatively accurate
AND becaue caculate the fall is fun
it's a shame that they didn't really bother with using locations that already existed outside of a handful
They just mentioned a few at the briefing before they left, but after that it was all gibberish,
it sucks because there are so many "it's a shame" moments

We can endlessly focus on the negative but in the big picture of all the other Stalker movies out there, it wasn't really a bad effort. Overall it was good fodder for the masses.
i didnt understand anything
I thought the Pripyat Marauders patch was kind of dumb. As if they go to Pripyat all the time.
morale patch is morale patch
Yeah, I get that. It's common in Military organizations.
there was a ghost who told me the lore
then there were some teletransporters and there was sidorovich too
Yes
tips?
are enemies bullet sponges and weapons terribly innaurate too?
Upgrade your guns and keep them maintained
Weapons are slightly more inaccurate so that people would be incentivized to use the upgrade system
illt try to play it soon
With upgrades they are better tho
Than in SoC
Standard Shotgun is ok for the first map
in clear sky also applies dont start a quest about collecting an artifact if you dont have it already?
I don't think so but based on the 2 collect artifact missions I did it shows you the location of the artifact they want you to find
I think the others are the same
And they are non repeatable
Yeah all the artifact quests are like fetch quest
in stalker 2 . one headshot will kill enemy ?
in parkour civilization. one block jump will kill parkour pro?
but not too much bullet sponge right ?
There is no such thing as bullet sponge. Do you die when you are hit by a single shot every time? No, because you have on armor. You have on armor and so do your enemies. That is why people say go for headshots.
i can understand that , but from this "you cannot headshot someone with a single pellet and instantly kill them". about "headshot" i hope it's not bullet sponge that i tap someone 3-5 times to dead .
Are you talking about using bullets or pellets from a pellet gun?
actually im talking about bullets haha
I'm just trying to get across, that as the Player you do not want to be killed by the first shot you recieve, so don't expect the same when you do it to others.
ah make sense/
I mean sometimes you can kill someone the first shot, if you are close or have an accurate head shot but that is not the most common situation. It's more common to be a shoot-out between two forces.
thank you.
However, we don't know how big of a change to the game engine we will see in Stalker 2, so it is the big unknown.
yeah it will be good if we know about new features in stalker 2
I'm still stuck on 'Stalker: Clear Sky.' Too much to do.
You either remain as a Merc in your pursuit of Fang and Strelok, or you get side-tracked by joining a Faction of your choice and having that Faction choice dictate who your enemies are.
Will need multiplayer in Stalker's game vanilla? 🤔
I know nothing about Multiplayer. Maybe someone else can answer that.
well, my vintorez doesnt apply to this rule lol
Somehow I think people think that a multiplayer mode is mandatory regarding this game...
wdym by that
ohhh, so like in previous games, F
Win-D just doesnt work, along with fn
Fair PVP would be welcomed, but... hmmm, 
well, it didnt for me in CS and SoC
what
i have absolutely no clue what are you talking about
damn, no fullscreen?
also i have no clue how to do it
huh...
okay, right clicked
im on about page rn
well, i have it from my dad's disk, but it seems its gog somehow
to shortcut, not xrengine?
can i send u dm?
so i can send you a pic of it
oh ok
Best answer I have seen all day.
I would be more positive had they not raised 300k and had a PR landing strip about how good it is all done by YouTubers that don't even like stalker
You hear stories from the inside and it's p clear what the main vibe was
I don't think it's that hard to expect a stalker movie from smth that's branding itself as stalker
I guess if you didn't know the Stalker games, you could enjoy the action and the gun battles. 300k doesn't really sound like a lot of money, compared to what things cost these days, but what do I know?
Compared to all the passion projects that have no funding it is a lot and if you get sponsored by military equipment firms you can localize that cash 
You apparently know way more about this than I do. I just learned about it when a friend got the ticket to one of the movie theater showings. I just think that Cadillac was really out of place.
I'm not familiar with the gas mask apparatus that they were wearing on their backs. However I don't keep up with modern equipment like that.
Those things don't come cheap, especially that fancy backpack, I choose to believe they got that equipment thru a sponsor directly, so they didn't pay for it, because the alternative is to say they bought it, which is fucking dumb, as opposed to getting a set design team that can recreate the original suits for cheap and quick
(and quite honestly, if they did the later, it would look better)
Agreed. They should have looked more like what we see in the games for authenticity. However, if they bought all that new gear and then got to keep it after the movie was made, good for them, I guess.
Are there any news articles or reviews of what they have done, out in the media? I was told it will be on YouTube for free soon, so that is puzzling why they wouldn't get people to pay-per-view.
what weapons do you guys wanna see in stalker 2?
6
9
2
Cold War Era
you can see online ppl who were in the production saying these things plus the main PR guys was Operator Drewski, you can already know what kind of audience theyre trying to appeal to
If it was like their last production they got a bunch of guntubers and mil-sim dweebs to bring their own equipment out
I don't know anything other than Uwe Boll makes bad video game movie adoptions.
I just found Operator Drewski on YouTube. Never heard of him before.
I guess I spend too much time playing the Stalker games and making my own videos.
I'm uploading one now as we speak.
OpDrewski is a milsim/hardcore extraction shooter youtuber, if they wanted to appeal to stalker fans they'd try and get Tommy or Nikolai or SKIF into the project, but they never did it, because they didnt want to do a stalker project
His "about" information on YT shows he is heavily monetized. I just don't have time to keep up with that world. I'm too busy working a full time job and just having a little free time here and there.
you shouldnt man, your channels alright the way it is, but my point still stands, its clear what they wanted to do and it wasnt a stalker movie
I guess they can pick another video game and re-use the equipment, if that's not what they did already. Just slap a different patch on it and change the jargon.
Yes
I too agree they should slap drewski and change the films name
I wish you all a good day be well
Same to you man
Escape from Drewski
Andrew Carriker, also known by his YouTube channel name as OperatorDrewski, Drewski, or Drew, and formerly DrewskiTheAdventurer, is an American gaming YouTuber and Twitch streamer who makes videos on military-themed first-person shooter video games. He joined YouTube on July 15, 2013, and is currently residing in Texas, United States. He is one of the brothers of Matt Carriker, who operates the gun channel DemolitionRanch.
Despite being interested in military-related stuff, he has never served in the military.
greer
I've never heard of him until tonight. Guess I don't get around much. Unlike him I did serve in the Military.
what is being talked about?
Imagine only being popular BC you got carried by your brother and still the only audience you get if kids and teens
Sup sup suppity supper
Grok grok grokkity grokker
I had no idea what they were related
i can't believe our polish version of Stalker 2 won't have voice over from mr Miroslaw Utta - it's absolutely iconic. I would pay double just to have that option D:
Hello stalkers
You have some advice?
I want to try to obtain 2.500.000 sr in Shadow of Chernobyl 👀
Just make a wish 
👀
I’m lowkey gonna miss the Leon Kennedy lookin dude
Still no trailer 
Artifacts
Or if you don't wanna farm
Use cheat engine
Or change stats
Molt hasn't answered my question. Which was "Do you pinkie promise that STALKER 2 will come out on Nov 20th?" which is concerning.
Maybe Mol1t doesnt have a pinkie
I answered it feels like 7+ similar questions, sometimes I do not answer repeat questions that are answered the same day already
it's fine, bro bro
facts
Answering and Pinkie promising isnt the same tho
what about betting an arm and a leg?
Heh, who says he doesn't have that hair anymore?
Nah
Arm and Leg you can live without
But when you break pinkie promise..
Well
It wont end good for you
If you break a pinkie promise you just have to break your pinkie.
Red dead redemption 1 pc port confirmed.
When will US be able to preorder collector’s editions?
Everywhere says it’s out of stock
You're thinking of Griga 
Also is anyone keeping count of the daily "when will preorder restock in Bumfuсkville??" questions? There's always a new one whenever I check this server
Indeed just look in the asked questions Section the Most Common question is if/when the physical edition is in Stock
I’ve been looking online for like 2 years and not once has it been in stock anywhere
Yummers 😋. I love beef
Have I just been missing it for 2 years
If you couldn't find it for two years why do you think anyone here can give you a better insight? People keep asking this daily and the answer they get is always the same
Yea why would I think I could get answers about a video game from the community
I’m such an idiot
Thanks for the help though

what mods would you recommend for the original games to bring them a bit closer to modern standards, for a first playthrough
Vanilla 
First playthrough gotta be vanilla man, cmon
not even anything for soc to improve weapon models & lighting?
What is it?
How may I help you?
Vanilla is fine idk
._.
At this point I’m wondering if the US is ever going to be able to preorder the collectors edition or not. Since the game is set to release in a little over a month
Classic America L
Move to Europa NOW
Says the American
you dont?
Y'all have a war every 5 years
There are no wars currently happening in North America
Inside ig yeah
have fun with hurricane milton ig
I have family in the States who have a ton of camping gear and shit and are just having a good time lol
It's up to retailers, I'm afraid. Keep an eye out for new announcements if you can.
Also, you all should stop whatever you are doing 
I'm going to summon wolf on your ass if they don't @granite mortar
You'll get the bite for opening this side talk

Nah
Wolf is my bestie
He would never bite me
You sure about that?
He's wolf for a reason
Hes a puppy when hes with me :3
Say fuck then
Fuсk
Damn
Too busy being my bestie
Good to see you tho, mol1t
Then you belong to the campfire with him

Lmao
Anything for Wolf
True
The leafs have had it too good for too long...
The leafs?

Announcement in one minute perhaps?

Trailer ?
Am I crazy or is that announcement a repeat?
Reason: Bad word usage
nop, wolf is still working
Friendly reminder
Kinda
Not really

Just more info for something we already saw
Why did you get a pass chymo
Thanks dad
Wolf was indeed not in the mood
I don't think we need a reminder, we are starved from any game info, we keep looking at the same pictures over and over again and overanalyze it
wolf is hard lover
he was pinged so he is mad
Cuz Im bestie with Wolf
Right @nimble cipher you crazy fuсker?
:3
Based
Its so Wolfover for you all

Who dared to do it?
I'll bite whoever did it in his stead
First rule of Wolf
Thy shall NOT embed
Say it again but without the cap

Let's call it an experiment

I said Im Wolfs bestie for fuсks sake
Cap
Youre making the rules up as you go
Let's see if he's really your bestie


Ik your ways chymo
Attack the D point!
Sexy emission
Canada
Reason: Bad word usage
Get wolfed 
im done
Oh lol
Damn, I was sure you'd tell the exact date the game will be back in stock to the milisecond. Perhaps tomorrow someone will have more luck with the same question...
Reason: Bad word usage
why u dont like stalker couples?
whne can we expect to be able to buy the MSI stalker gear cause the website is useless and give barely any info
Search your local retailers for the special edition additionally the MSI website is also a good tell
trust me ive been searching on the website, it takes me to all of these online stores, of which has nothing. Not even a page to say it exists
the closest ive gotten is on amazon where the GPU is shown but not available for purchase
i can only assume they sent the promotion out prematurely and they aren't on sale yet.
So is that an Emission/weather or does it always look like that?
I think it’s an emission
Also are signs and building Signs in the game/rl in Ukrainian or Russian?
Probably, it's easier to push smith on the digital side than on the physical side
Only way to know for sure is to keep refreshing I'd guess 
Pretty sure Ukrainian
yh i mean, tech sites are so bad nowadays. they rarely ever tell you when its in stock, if its in stock, and how much it is lol. and always tell you to go to another website to buy it XD
why does CS crash on me with the srp mod on??
any of the optional add-ons?
no
It is rejecting SRP 
Your copy of CS is vanilla purist
Was it a fresh installation?
yeh
Try reinstalling and make sure you put the files in the right place
I live in Europe but the GPU cost 1050 euros
here*
What do you want to buy ?
the keyboard#
Let me check if I can find it 🤝🏾
GL lol ive searched everywhere, even other countries
I will let you know if I find something 💪🏾
It's not about the amount of question asked. It's all up to retailers tbh. I'd expect some updates this month if any at all.
cheers
Coward
offtopic: is it normal that when playing modded stalker having anxiety that the game crashes lol
Why be anxious about the inevitable?
germany's
epic fail
lol im german
im so lucky i played efp for 3 hours and no crash im tired of game crashing cus of load quicksave too much lol
🐮
Damn
I know DooM runs on pregnancy tests but damn..
Stalker runs on goddamn donuts
i too run on donuts
I run for donuts
@wraith socket are you feeling good?
soc has fps spike downs for me
when fighting and in bar

is there a subtitles mod for clear sky?
I think all of the important dialog is in English, same with a lot of taunts
There has to be somewhere
i found one but seem to be made for an older version of srp i hope it doesnt mess anything
Idk lol
yo for ledgends of the zone trilogy on ps5 how do I install the mods, everything is linked but I sub to mods and they dont show up
Press subscribe to the mods you want then restart the game if it’s not downloading right away
Thank you
No worries homie, enjoy!
Weeks
that close caption mods didnt work
I was playing atomic heart and the impression it gave me... I can't blame the M.C. to be aggressive or loud-mouthed with everyone. He is surrounded by annoying robots and never has context for what is happening. I mean, it's boring that he only swears like most of the time, but at least it's like "for such a tough guy, I'm surprised he has the patience for shithole"
Would rather play SoC ngl
Nop
Thinking of playing stalker since I’ve never done it before, so before I randomly buy one of the 3 games and pray to god it doesn’t suck, what game should I get
Shadow of Chernobyl
It's the 1st of the series
So you won't get as confused
clear sky because no pain no gain
Is clear sky the one with monolith, duty, and all that
every game has those
clear sky has clear sky 
They're also dead lol
Cuz I’m looking for immersion, realism, survival, being hard as hell, and pissing my pants whenever those meatball stomping things pop up
Should just play SoC
I probably won’t even do the storyline I just wanna kill shit
I'd play another franchise then tbh
that's CS and SoC to a lesser extent though
No
Both have main and side content if you want mindless action just play cod
the storyline is an FPS for most of it with a couple sections of spooky mutants in SoC
it's entirely ignorable and still fun
CS goes even harder into a focus on combat for the main quest with the tightest linear combat sections of the entire trilogy
sure they all have side content but besides CoP the sidequests almost all mean very little
maybe there's a text box but most of them are just "go here kill/grab ____"
you can get away with ignoring the story in SoC and CS but in CoP it's everywhere and worse in terms of the main quest
it's like the story of half life 1, you can ignore it and have a great time but it works so much better if you do pay attention
emmmm, where mosin in teaser
crashed
NLC 7 playthrough when :3
hunting shotgun or chaser 13?
depends on what you gonna use it
Shame I can’t play anomaly since I’m on console
what difficulty for clear sky? in soc seems like master is de facto dificulty
Master's a little harder in clear sky but it's definitely doable
If I can beat it on master with a gamepad anyone can lol
I hope the new stalker will have the creepy moans and whispers and howls free psy waves or whatever, because lowkey those ambient noises creep the absolute hell out of me
im getting one shotted
If you have a crappy computer you can still try to run it if you really wanna play it. I managed to get it running on my old mac I used for college, wasn't really my cup of tea though
slighly upgraded hunting shotgun or slightly upgraded chaser?
The swamps and the cordon gun are a PITA on master in the beginning, and I'd go chaser but honestly I'd upgrade the AK you get first, that thing is a beast in the early game if you upgrade it for accuracy
ambience isn't attached to story always
like rimworld (my beloved)
games can have miraculous vibes without a set story
like 76 
gamma aint that demanding
ah well nothing wrong with that imo
was gaming ever cool?
mods arent always needed
the mischievous bethesda.net:
tbh the only mods i even used for stalker was bug fixes
Microsoft is slowly coming around to letting more mods on console, sony isnt really though
sony is beyond scared to get hacked for like the 13th time lol
i wont hate on consoles i've owned every gen up to series X but pc is the move
consoles are nice for casual plug and play
I just started playing stalker
save often but not too often @valid solstice
I was always hesitant to go PC since I felt like I was locked in to my xbox with all my purchases. I downloaded the xbox app on my computer though and checked my library and most of my games actually carry over now so I'll probably move to PC by the time the next gen consoles come out
if you save too often the game isn't super fun
Yea I realized that too late
Maybe once every 30 mins or so, even 15
you're going to love it haha i loved the switch to pc
helloo
hey
cheeki brekki
why si moonlight so broken
all i did was equip a moonlight and a flash
and i have infinite sprint now
Dunno 
i have no other weapons
where can i save my stuff? theres no blue boxes
Do you not start with the AK on the PC version or something? On console it gave it to me as soon as I loaded in
What does ambient noise have to do with the story? I just want fear factor
Reason: Bad word usage
Why must you be such a douche
some pc folk sadly arent humble anymore disregard them tbh
Not even remotely true

it does make the swamps much easier
Makes sense, as soon as I upgraded it and found some ammo for it the game got so much easier
no we star with double barrel shotgun
That's rough buddy
stalker 2 soon yipee
PC version does too but there is an AK added in 1.5.10 that is in the inventory
it's not that big of a deal considering you need to already know where the ammo spawns for it to be useful
they're worse than the AKM
it's also very clearly unintended
was that in the original?
I thought they added it with the AKM because otherwise you literally can't use it until the cordon
they do?
I've never seen that when doing the main swamps quest
I thought it was just the boxes
which are near where you end the swamps part anyways
then why did they placed me there?
why?
i managed to go with 12 medikits 4 bandages and 1/5 armor gone
i installed srp im in master
what is larg?
that area is hell
i could see myself trapped there
overcumbered in cs mist be hell i already feel the satmina deplenish fast
the detector is amazing
you no longer find artifact on the ground like if it were trash
this feel more stalkerish
when you get burned alive for 650 dollars
i havent met him yet
oh i already did it
well when i return to swamp in the northpath (no way i go to that tunnel withou killing the millies)
there are no personal stashes here?
i bough a bear grillz detector
there was a electro place where a crystal was that plaaze send dizzy radiation
i had to find the crystal with echo
no quest time limit?
in general with how can i help you dialogue usually
they do respawn
it just takes an obscene amount of time
it's 4 hours overall I thought
there's just a timer constantly going
man he betrayed me
the military say dont shoot and i didnt shoot then i gave him my gun then he attacked me and i recovered my gun with 1/4 less durability

man
i dont know ehre the cave is
@slate halobut quest has time limit?
thank you
now you know the target public
nice tips
what faction should i no enemy
what should i be freind and what doesnt matter?
GSC hahahaha
i haven’t talked to my one best friend in like a year and he sends me “stalker 2 hasn’t come out yet”
you fuckers 🤣🤣
they said stalker 2 was going to come out when i was a sophomore in highschool wtf
not usually worth joining bandits because loners show up so much
it is literally an IRL inside joke for me stalker 2 not releasing
i swear if that shit releases and its gay smh
depends on if scar and strelok make out off or on-screen is the difference between me buying it and me rioting
uh sure buddy
GSC will receive my complaints in the mail in the form of several letters
i think if i can measure my life in years your game hasn’t been out
there is an issue somewhere
GSC stopped and started development a couple times which is probably why it's been so rocky
yeah like holy shit are the original dev team even alive
it’s their kids project now if anything

it isn’t even the same team gl gsc
it hasn't taken that long, only a decade or so
@versed sparrow miss you btw bro
i dont even live in there anymore btw i’m in like minnesota
nothing drastic like kids or anything i’m still me chugging along lol, doing ok
i think in this game full auto is more viable than in soc
i was blasting that low con akm and after half mag they died
its actually an advance since in soc tou wil eat that mag and they will kill you while you reload
honestly the meta was just tap fire their head until they get staggered and easy finish
felt like boxing but with bullets
i thought the player was named mark but they are calling him merc for mercenary
over for dyslexia havers
Or mybe because russia invaded Ukraine...
Location where Scar dropped his Vintar in the opening cinematic.
The Northern Farmstead is the closest Clear Sky comes to having a Renegade Base.
Grenade blast got me but I kept fighting.
You miss ton of stuff on first playthrough
I've lost count on how many times I've played SoC and every time I discover new things. And even if I didn't i'd replay it for the gameplay
Russia banned discord
Yeah
Unless using Discord has been criminalized a simple VPN is all you need
Unless the russian internet providers do something
Also Turkey too but by bypassing with DNS change or VPN
finally
the calls don't work now, even with VPNs and DPI circumvention tools, there are ways though :3
No more epic Monokit schemes

Omg
Cat
But I am here

That's because your love for Richter cannot be stopped. 💋
Jokes away, with simple DNS change, you can still access to every banned site, their "protection" is laughble
Damn cannot order collector physical edition anymore, sad
Changing proxy and VPN works
I wish you all a good day be well
like 2012
2012 was canceled game made before the closure of GSC by a different team
So how does that make the development of HoC rocky?
Can't hear you over the 7 delays
exactly
that's fairly well known
5, but ok. Don't care, I wouldn't judge based on delays when so many things had to be redone and the time lost due to war..
Some things from old Stalker 2 (2011) will be revived here i guess
and it's actually true looking by some concept arts
So dev of HoC isn't rocky cause they started multiple times.
Poppy Field and Zalissya, for example.
Also Sphere, changed but similar
Yea, well, are were significantly altered, but the core idea is from the old concepts
I spotted a funny thing, in 2011 Stalker 2 Zaton also was going to be placed where it's in HOC
Rahhhh
Sphere mentioned
The whole shape of map is actually pretty similar
And lot of locations match
Rostok is present on both maps, also Duga
Funny how Chornobyl 2 is mirrored to Chornobyl (from old concept)
it's rocky because they started multiple times
Around same place, yes.
But no Cordon i remember
also Chornobyl town was going to be present
instead of Pripyat back then, after time i think it's better to have what we have in Stalker 2 like Pripyat, many old locations
Stalker 2 old concept mod was going to revive those things, but funny thing we will have official Stalker 2 before it, i remember times when i was thinking the only thing i will have close to Stalker 2 will be this mod, and now
Afaik, no Cordon, yes.
The old map was cool, but not as cool as new one)
New one is just better made and expanded (in a positive way) old map
You mean the one made by dezowave?
Yes
Yes i would like to see if there is something going on about this
Sent in PMs.
Send me too please
And throw in some silly cats too :3
do we know if Lithuania will have physical copies?
lithuania has electricity?
?
Potatoland isnt real anyways...
20 November
@hazy helm is ray of hope still alive
Beats me
Last thing I remember seeing is that they said they would stray away from it just being coop stalker
Last I heard they were using UE with X-ray code and remaking models into worse versions of the ogs
They will probably fizzle out with the TOS implementation
it is nice seeing the switch get the existing games earlier, almost had a heart attack thinking 2 was getting an earlier release date
stalker on nintendo switch seems cursed ngl
it does, maybe the performance will be steady enough
Any word on the next gen update?
My push notification says RAD_SIGN EN and I get so hyped
Then it's JUST A TRILOGY UPDATE for a version I DONT EVEN HAVE!!!
Wdym
we're almost there
Stalker next gen already exists cuz they are on next gen consoles lol
If you want real next gen you need a pc
I mean they promised visual enhancements for current gen consoles, at least on xbox
They're probably focusing on the new game they are polishing up tbh
Oh lol idk
it's like backwards compat right? i never got the console versions. they might up the fidelity and prepare it for PS5 and XSX versions
PC never got visual enhancements
damn you a PS5/Xbox Series X user? life must suck
my condolences, but it is p funny
Since I saw "visual refinements" for Nintendo switch, I thought they could be close to release an update for other consoles
And given we don't really get major texture enhancements on moddb..
Did they change the engine to port it to console? Or is it just the classic x ray modified as minimally as possible
from what I can see they made the SLuTZ work on x64 bit
it definitely sucks from my experience, but ever since building a PC last year it's such an improvement
What is SLuTZ?
legends of the zone i believe
Stalker Legends of the Zone
Hello, it's still in the works and will be released soon in the future.
Oh lmao
42 days left. time has been flying man
Great to know, thank you
Yeah, isn't all ports pretty much banned
Especially ue
Cant wait for stalker on switch, literally the perfect release date
this is how I feel, waiting for the physical pre orders to become available
if you wanna use stalker shit outside xray engine yhea,
I'm excited for stalker 2 not being on xray honestly
stalker on Nintendo is actually wild work
Mfw gif failed, but we all know which gif I wanted to use
Does XRay 2 count?
Dezowave is safe 
Speaking of dying RIP DoctorX 🙏
Dying is how it feels to want to so desperately buy stalker 2 physical pre orders but can't yet because they're not available yet 
he's working on S2 2011
you didn't see latest screenshots?
ho I know, Im in his discord, I havent seen him send like, 2-3 years ago
Still no trailer ? 
Yes, there is!
at this point I doubt they'll do them again, I just hope mine shows up when time comes and there's no surprises
GSC YT channel has 40 videos
ah well, GSC has multiple YT channles 
Still no trailer for S2 ? 
Next time, ask for "S2 trailer when?
" 
42 days 

Why haven't PC versions of original trilogy received gamepad support yet?(
I'm afraid of a delay 
no more delays, trust me 
I hope 
There will be no further delay.
nothing wrong to have another small delay 
I hope so, but I find that com isn't as active as it was at the end of August/beginning of September with the deep dive 
I want a « Skif Trailer » 
Exactly. Downtime in-between big media drops. The build-up.
they flying around all game expos around the world

I've asked several times for PGW, but no information.
I will ask the master himself, and see if he gives any response 
and hopefully they never do!
Poznań Game Arena 2024 | 25-27th October 2024
If you want...
Then a « Strelok Trailer » 
Not today! 

what even is the point
mhm, anything else?
Gamescom Asia is already confirmed. I am sure of Poznan too
and mybe Paris too
Yeah, well, Pax West and Gamescom were close to each other too. And nevermind the fact they visited both last year too
I was told they'll still be available for purchase plx dint do this to me 
every week is a conference about games somethere in the world
holy
between gamescon asia and poznan is 3 more events
I think I would actually bury myself in a hole if they really don't take more pre orders for physicals, I've been waiting since January to be able to 😭
honestly I still hope they get new batches out, so if for some reason I don't get mine delivered I'm still on time to get it
i hope AI is good and combat is fun
I would be crushed if not, I want that bag so much 
they could do merch, just get pre-orders for few months and send out stuff like streamers do
whats legends of thezone? its not stalker 2 is it?
100% would be a lot of pre-orders
metal cups, mugs, tshirt, hoodies, caps, bennies, patches, mousepads
It's the first 3 stalkers
The trilogy
SLuTZ is the name for the Console Versions of the game that have slightly diff features
ah i thought it got renamed and i looked like an idiot
for example, x64 engine, fixed a lot of stuff, changed textures, mod.io support, achivs
we all hope that none of this comes to PC
but we will see
I think the lantern is the hardest part to manufacture
what do you mean?
hopefully they dont update the PC versions with all these things, that would be a complete disaster
any custom stuff is headache to do it. but common stuff would be nice to have
they dont need to make a tshirt or cup. they need to make an art which going to be printed on it
wait, is the trilogy a downgrade for something?
SLuTZ has diff stuff, it changed stuff, but most importantly, it redesigned the engine, meaning that it will break compatibility with like, a good portion of mods out there
This gives me hope
it is easier to let it be or separate both entities than to update the original repos
oof jesus, and here I though I could replay it again in the future with better engine and less bugs
Especially CoP
cause that one is the only one that stuttered on mine, despite tweaking the alife.lua
well they updated the shaders for CoP and fixed shader stuff with SoC, plus updated the engine for all games to use x64, as well as texture changes
there are more changes to gameplay itself, of the top of my head they changed snorks and bloodscukers, specifically bloodscukers, now they wont attack while running
for some reason
and all mutants hear less
yes but the issue are the ultimate versions, you can't find them around more or less anymore. And local shops don't even sell all of the available editions either. It's a slippery slope
I'd take everything but the gameplay changes, idk maybe they did that as an accessibility thing for console players but I definitely wouldn't want it on pc
They should leave the pc versions alone tbh
well that's a staple
I want the ultimate one or whatever the one w the backpack is :")
Why not?
Good for accessibility.
compability with Mods, both new and old, that use exe altering components
^
I mean fair but that can just be added as a footnote that controller support will likely not work with mods
I would not mind if they made a new app for SLuTZ , and buying the old game gives you access to the new app, I think thats a better way to do it
I doubt these old stalker modders are even around anymore
I dont think you undersatnd how mods work
this!
Everyone must get slutz Ong
Specifically what about how they work?
There's lots I don't understand about STALKER modding for sure, since, well, I just play the mods not make em
modified Exe would not work with the new shader hooks and would crash on start up when iniating an integrity check, most mods old especially, use modified exes, youd also have dubious compability with old scripting methods
they did more than add controller support
I see;
That would indeed be problematic
Sounds like what ID software did for Doom 1993 initially
(Had separate launchers for those that wanted to play it modded)
that makes new and old exes incompatible and makes problems with mods
Yeah that would definitely break mods completely;
won't approve being associated with such Abbreviation 
why not SLotZT then
still can't get around the "u" in SLuTZ tbh
Slutz sounds better!
u sound like a romanian word


LOTZ wanna take a break
for sure
I beg for the inclusion of
and 
I hope that we get new ones even before the release
I support that request

Oh yes, and this one too -> 


they are facing each other saluting
The greedy toad
are there emojis that never gets used? just curious here 
Hmm, do we know what time/time zone the game releases on Nov 20? I am starting to think of when to request time off at work





do a poll
and refresh them all
Probably in-between 6-12 PM CEST. The game will release on November 21 in Japan.
we have like 200 more slots for emojis
That’s my favorite emoji

And also maybe GSCs
Our*


ah, nvm then 
That does narrow it down, thank you
but
is the better NDA rock emoji
has bigger history 
this one?
email zb@stalker2.com and ask for early access to trailer.
Best gift
If this address still exists lol
Hey you’re lucky Kuro is only saying deez nutz
Too bad I didn't put spoiler cover 
Graphic
Indeed
btw, interesting info from S2 Demo, ||deez nuts edillon||
I don't know why you're mad, you taste em so much I thought youd get used 
It's really intriguing tbh
Why are you always falling for it fr
noob?
so now everyone can embed gif except me
Keep the L brother
only important ppl can embed
nerd
Yes? But what are you talking about?
🫥
I use it every time there's a talk about guides 
Do we think we will see another marketing push end of October until release?
Every new announcement ping makes me scared to open it
side question, but @glossy blade are there devs streams planned close to release?

see? you used the emote 
But allright, understandable.
oh, it is the most used one for sure

has 23 588 results
has only 3.5k
damn
has 61 k
has 30k
53.5k
So, I guess
wins
42 Days... My God, can't believe it's really Happening!
why are questions about directx and vulkan just ignored
shhh shhh
what questions?
probably refering to #📜┃ask-gsc , but understand Mol1t has big backlog of questions 
if stalker to will use direct x or vulkan or both
@glossy blade we love you
Yes, we do 🤝 ❤️
I can't answer all the questions realistically, unless I start doing only that 
DirectX 12 is required. DirectX 12 Ultimate is preferred but not required.
no
?
Of course he wins
Degtayrovsky is the best penguin from chernobyl
I'm blind
Hi blind
Im chymo
vulkan, I am not sure atm, need to 2check what we have on that
based
You can give me all the info and I can answer them 

wait this is gsc server
Will there be a way to benchmark the game before release ? I dont want to require GPU upgrade on 20th of november, I'd rather do it before 😛
Can't say with 100% atm, we will see
someone tell me one new thing i didnt know
ok thank you
Most likely no benchmark
thank you
jobs@stalker2.com is for you
But a release right? 
By jumping and crouching in specific fast pattern you can fly up through walls
damn happy wheels logic
Does Griga still hire 17 year olds?
Ig I used it half of that amount myself 
Speedrunners use it to skip sarcophagus fight
ofc
someone get a job at stalker 2 and leak me their current build
i will pay you in fortnite accounts or something
Employees are not allowed to download the game on their Personal Computers hehe
clearly bs cuz remember when gsc leaked their own build lmaoo
The gossip from the fields: rumour has it that this year's Game Awards deadline for nominations is November 22nd 😉
then tried to blame on russian haxors
Maybe Katana DLC? hehe
Why did he choose the worst OP2 feature when he could have instead gone for smoking weed with developer self inserts in Zaton
Reason: rule 1, next time it will be a tempmute
Lol
Get Wol1t'd
He wasn't positive enough

wasn't nice and polite enough for our overpositive chat of happy stalkers
stay EVIL and IMPOLITE fellow OVERNEGATIVE chatters of UNHAPPY stalkers
real
Yay
We should all aspire to be like Richter 
Why gif's are not working :C
No embed perms.
join us if you aren't happy and positive
Well
With how many smiling Degtayrevs you see every day you would expect the chat to be happier
soo ironic…🤧
Renegadis gods of zona
be honest is the game ass
Omg
Cat

Sir Mol1t will you give me embed perms so I can Kotsmaxx here?
nah, we good
Confirmed 👌🏻
#📸┃screens_and_videos message
Reason: Bad word usage
omfg
anyone here went to gamescom or whatever tell us if the game is cheeks or not
I do not understand why people did not think this would be the case. TGA takes all games into consideration before choosing the date. Also, TGA is late this year.
ur a mod bro ur basically token staff must be clueless as us
over for jannies
it's good, I can speak on behalf of Cosmin.
The game is offspring of horse and donkey? 
And Cosmin met Mol1t, so you know he is all facts.
I went 
But you won't take my answer for granted
If the date was November 18th like last year — it wouldn't have been the case, and we didn't know the date till today 🤷🏻♂️
Im a jannie, I clean the floors man, the virtual floors
get on my level
ye, but last year the event was also sooner, on 7th of December.
you have gun to your head, you would say it was good if it couldn’t even launch
and again, my point about TGA choosing the date considering the game releases.
youtubers and staff members are getting some under the table to peddle the game thats obvious cmon
shit, he got us @glossy blade
Tempmute incoming
they hate when he spoke the truth…
Jannies arent developers or Employees of GSC, we are volunteers
I can't believe I'm secretly getting money from GSC.. without even knowing 
😢
lmao that’s actually somewhat worse they ain’t paying you guys? hahaha
I pay everyone on the internet, to get your money simply click the link...
Nah
They nice here
In retard servers like gamma or anomaly you would already get 14 day mute or permaban
we do it for FREE?!
yhea
Reason: Bad word usage
That's why our hopes had some ground to stand on 😁 Now we know for certain 👌🏻
Lol
Get Wolf'd
Anomaly server sucks, dont go there
I pay Vasim with medkits in Clear Sky
agreed
I have all these medkits...but no bandages to stop the bleeding
I go there to convert tho..
Already converted 2 people to story mods and both say they cant even go back to Anomaly :3
Asking for too much now.
idk if this is a fever dream but i remember me and my friend watching leaked gameplay at an early gamescom and Todd Howard was in one of the booths
@glossy blade I got timeout in #📜┃ask-gsc but this is super urgent
Will Scar still suffer from hemophilia in S2?
lmk if i’m tripping
Shoot him in the game and find out.
I dont wanna
Scar is my bestie
Then I will tell you.
I will defo punch Faust tho
, anyways
this deserves a post actually
The hemophilia has transfered to Richter?!
I love getting pings in announcements only for it to be for that stalker console port
@glossy blade hey Mol1t sorry to bother you, but will you have a special announcement for my birthday tomorrow
it's like a buildup
OFC it does! 😁 LFG 
Separate HoC ping would be nice
someone send me the video with Todd Howard playing stalker 2 with the cheesy png pop up after he dies
How it feels when no new stalger content for 3 weeks
IGN First tomorrow!
true
What if real treasure was hemophilia we made along the way
todd howard plays stalker?
That may be treasure for Tremor..
i found it lol https://x.com/HazzadorGamin/status/1694762256440135949
That would be IGN First coverage indeed.
😮
secretly in his head happy like “oh this shits so ass fallout is safe”
he'd wish 
at least at the time of the above vid yeah
Reason: Bad word usage
The contrary
Lol
Get Wolf'd
why did gsc use a bloodsucker png placeholder lmaoooo
Todd wasn't even playing lol 
Because it’s an early demo? Looks like it’s from last year
i don’t think would be scared if my competitors game has a jpg for the death screen ngllll
bcs.. game in development, so there is placeholder assets. Game has death animation now. You understand how game development works?
it’s your first game reveal it should have the basics
It’s not a competitor???
They’re completely different
