you'll have another quest to do before you're allowed to travel back
It is not until a later stage that you cannot return, until you do the final evac missions and then you either take the chopper out and end the game or choose free-play and can return. Be sure to make frequent manual saves and never rely on quick saves alone.
You need to find the two tool sets for the third-tier upgrades, return to Zaton and/or Jupiter and upgrade all your weapons, armor and helmet.
That's what I plan on doing
Ah okay thanks

Ngl but the flecktarn uniform is really comfortable to sleep in
just stop playing anomaly
if you want freeplay so much download CotZ with IWP or whatever people think is good rn
what do you need help with exactly?
Mostly just advice on how to get a good start
In CoP you won't get any tutorial, you are thrown into the world and left to do things your way
I suggest taking it slow, don't rush the main story and do as many sidequests as possible
at the beginning don't go directly for the main objective, go to the stalker camp and just do the sidequests
Alright
eventually they will get you close to the main objectives and you can do them at the same time
Understood, thank you for the help m8
no problem, enjoy the game 
Will do

Good morning stalkers.
I just woke up, hella grumpy. I was dreaming Stalker 2 had been released and I was playing it. 😭
Soon 
The biggest thing you need to know is all the items are no longer found in stashes (with a few exceptions like at helicopters or vehicles on the bridge) and are loosely placed on the ground, usually next to boulders, in caves, and under trees. Additionally you are tasked with finding two pairs of Basic Tools and Fine Tools, in both Zaton and Jupiter. You are no longer looking for flash drives like in Clear Sky to obtain upgrades given to the Repair Techs. Don't automatically shoot anyone based on how they look or what Faction they are in, before you identify that they are neutral or enemies. You are now earning Achievements for various actions and events, that determine what rewards and improvements you find in your daily life. The Skadovsk is your home now.
aint no party like a bandit party
Thanks bro
Sultansk 
Just like Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat is the same. You can play a complete game from beginning to end, without having to kill a single Bandit. However, that is by no means the typical experience.
Gooooood Moring
Good Morning. Only 38 days until you are in the arms of Richter.
Yeess
morning
I hear that Erdoğan is jealous of your love for Richter.
Bro, let's not talk about politics here
Sorry. Just thinking about the recent Discord bans around the world.
Morning stalkers 
Good morning General. How is your Sunday?
Ironicly they banned only from TurkTelekom ISP (Most Turks uses it) but I use different ISP so no bans lmaooo
lol
Get Wolf´d
Imagine banning from most used ISP to prevent "bad actors"
Not so great tbh. Didn't sleep well
Russia same too, people still can connect Discord via GoodbyeDPI or VPNs
My Saturday night is almost over with. I'm just an hour or so away from bedtime.
rip
its probably a pipebomb if its coming from russia
I always forget about our time zone difference
And my crazy hours. I go to sleep right before the sun comes up.
Used to do that before returning to university. Can't do it any more haha

Bro admitted to get Romanian citizenship
Did Anyone here visit chernobyl?
how do i pass the bandits in da agroprom underground with 30 or 20 fps
they cooking me everytime
Just kill them
They are poorly geared
Its not like 30fps makes the game unplayable
does anyone know what kind of flecktarn camo Freedom uses? Or do they use all types?
i only got sawed-off shotgun ammo and pistol
You didnt take an AK off the dead soldiers in the factory?
why didnt you pick up the military AKs and the Bandits Viper's
i tried but military bois got me every time
By the time you should go underground, they are all dead
i will try again

small mistake, will be up soon
Who wants a free copy of stalker 2?

hold on a min
I can hope
I mean we don't know for certain but I really doubt it
But they said they are pretty confident in ign interview.
But usally they announce the delay date 1month before right ?
I think the last one was when the game was about this far away
Let's see what they do we can only wait,Nothing pretty much we can do about anything.
no?!!
We were 42 days away from release last time, we passed this line
😊It's coming then I guess
Plus the msi stuff. A good marketing for a game that is about to release
Every year I round up cash to buy the game and the throw a release date delay.Its a bit sad😔
will streamers be sponsored on launch day to play game?
What we have now is the final release date. We are 38days away from playing the game
NDA
By the way will there be like stalker 2 gamma? After sometime game release.
hopefully not
porting RTTZ to Stalker 2 when I can
Doubt that, hopefully not, and mostly not.
i doubt it will be easy to mod on UE5
they will release a SDK after the game releases
Why I mean the base game will get stale after like playing it regularly for 2months straight so sandbox stuff will make it last way longer.
I would rather port a good mod rather than port a shit mod
case in point
Im porting game of souls
God please no. Ruining the work of god is evil
yes, but you think it modders would be able to mod it like old stalkers? currently stalkers on extreme mod lenghts
Probably quite some time after release, not right away.
yes I think modders will be able to make quests and add models to it, not like old stalker bc that would mean you can do standalone shit but I trust that GSC will make a good SDK
also it easy to improve graphics on old stalker, but on new one will be a bit difficult to have nice textures which would fit overall
What's sdk? By the way
Software Development Kit
what we use to mod games
42??? 37 Days and 9 hours
are they gonna make the game simple like see cutscene do quest and finish or it will be like classic stalker games with non linear progreasion stuff.
almost time 
Development tool! We had that for the trilogy
itll be stalker bro
its open world game. i doubt it will have linear story
the game will be like the trilogy with story quests and side quests and repeatable qeusts
That's really good then ☺
Sorry, a typo
Haha I'm out of time lmao
It'll feel like 3months anyway
i hope stalker 2 wont have very clear 1 story path
The wait will be harder each day before release
I am like counting the days of release like a prisoner who counts the day until he gets out of the jail.. XD..
itll have many choices to make
on different npcs also i assume
Mm, let's say there will be at the very least 3 different paths
i know s2 will have 3+1 😄
In the steam page it says they are gonna make some multiplayer stuff in the future of this game is it true?
yes
Like coop or pvp?
pvp arena
coop is mid honestly

Ya coop is not cool there is no scariness in that.
as a loner i dont understand coop
Stalker isn’t immersive whenever your buddy is screaming at you because he was jumped by a bloodsucker
True.
i would love an endless arena
YES
Except without the military pair
That took me like 30 tries in SoC
I never played the arena lol.
Guess I have to play it now
porting Nature Winter Black Edition 2.3 way way before that bucko
Yes, I sacrificed a pack of 2 liter Pepsi bottles to Griga and his apparition told me the game is getting pushed back to February 2025
should i get clear sky's relations to level 6 or just straight up kill them
Like, it depends of course. There will be different main story paths, and then many side quests and activities will play out differently based on your choices and actions.

Have you been in a bad position when relations changed? Example: in the middle of Freedom Base and Loners (or your faction) declare war with Freedom.
ive been using dart and slugs with a maxxed out toz and im just straight up sniping people
it feels like im straight up shooting the sun at my enemies
flamethrower when
seems plausible but you'll probably need to collect fluid for it (which will be very heavy)
does anyone know any big-ish youtuber who has played stalker
I see your wish.
Come to me.
civvie
decent series, but only SoC
Cmon.
I'll only grant one wish
thanks man
To one person, so come!
(Do not go to the guide)
these yellow stasis chambers look interesting
i wonder what would happen if i shot them 

Wait, lemme spawn some monolith dudes
oh dear
im gonna kill this guy
Like the food?
Any of you guys think that msi stalker 2 hardware gonna hit america or will it be europe
what guy
WaSSup, ladies and lassies
freedom is so chill im not surprised that there are so many people who've joined them
Monolithcracy
Molits up!
Omg

Cant trumph it
Some people reporting 67GB of Stalker 2 preload on Xbox Gamepass
As far I remember with Cities Skylines II preload the game files were encrypted of course.
The preoload is actually 6,67mb
Bald wone?!
Still a long time until the Stalker release/Delay
Just seen the DF upload regarding the Stalker 2 'making of' video. Intriguing stuff.
Wuts!
Madge!
Confirmadge yetge??
Just read that it is uncertain if Stalker 2 will actually be released on Playstation at all

PlayStation has no games so no 
Gay station
Fun fact Xbox is called Xbox because it was made in the X labs
Soon only one month to Stalker 2 and my new PC is ready for it
what?
10,1 MB
For Stalker 2 ?
Yes. I have a photo
Steam or GamepasS?
Ok so I can either play anomaly which has some of the worst gameplay but runs good and doesn't crash or I can play call of Chernobyl that does crash out of nowhere
I'm playing misery lmao
Is misery a freeplay mod or a mod for call of pripyat
Xbox better
Dude Xbox has even less games
It LITERALLY HAS zero games
Ps5 might have less than 20 games but Xbox has literally zero
Cus pc exists

Xbox is like a tv box for people who don’t wanna deal with owning a pc
Which I find very worthy of disrespect
But these are simply the facts of the matter
a mod for COP
It makes cop really hard
Xbox is the less gay console
But it goes like this
PC
Wii
Xbox
Playstation
I mean to be real Nintendo switch stands miles above Xbox and ps5 cus it’s got countless games

Wii better
Volume of exclusive games is countless
GameCube is better
They got Minecraft on Wii
So trve
GameCube stands at the peak of all game consoles
This is simply the way things are
Computer is best console
I think the mobile is the best console
Because of the emulators you can play games for consoles on it
I think powershell is the best console
Plus it's portable
The best console is the console menu from stalker 
Its still console 
You're still a console 
Kotsole 
feels unreal how close we are now to Stalker 2
Next sunday it's only one month
coming next Wednesday exactly 5 weeks
Midnight release ?
No idea. I expect it to release some time in the evening for Europeans
I also wonder if they start ramping up marketing some more soon with only about a month away.
Wouldn't mind getting some faction overview/introduction videos. Especially for the new ones.
Maybe some short tour of Cordon without commentary.
Some mutant presentations etc.
Anyways can't wait.
Normally games releasing on tuesday, thursday and fridays
can anyone help me with my stalker games crashing? ive looked everywhere and havent been able to get a solution, i get no errors or anything, game runs smooth and just get a sudden crash, i really want to play them before 2 comes out
Google or Youtube might help with that
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN NLC
?
Never enter any underground area unless you have lots of ammo (50-100 rounds of shotgun shot, 300 rounds of 9x18 and/or 300 rounds of 5.45, 10+ medkits and bandages each) This is just a rough estimate.
German military irl, is what Freedom uses in game it appears.
You should have Viper and 300 rounds at least. jmho.
37 days!!🥹
This cat is literally on my back porch right now, except not wearing costume. Wild feral white cat I have been feeding for a year.
There are different types of Saves in the game. If you jabbed a F-number key, those are Quick Saves and Quick loads. Quick Saves are easy to use but they are limited in number, constantly overwrite each other since you get about 2, and are subject to corruption and getting bugged. If your last Quick Save was not in a good place, you are screwed. For that reason, I recommend making manual Saves. You do that by hitting escape and creating a name for each manual save. It takes more time, but you can have unlimited number of these, and you make them at specific locations so that if something goes wrong you can return to an earlier time, when things are good, you have good equipment and you are not in danger. Manual Saves will resolve 98% of all game problems. Many people rage quit the games because their only Quick Save failed them, and they have gotten so gar to the end of the game and then have nothing if it is bugged or corrupted.
ive never played the game before so it was a fresh start, i was doing stalker hit and my game will crash at some point of me looting bodies, usually about 5-10 mins in. when i play SOC my game crashes about 10 seconds after the first cutscene
Tell me all your PC stats > CPU, GPU, amount of memory, your HD you are using, your OS. So many, many things can determine what you are using and having problems. You may need to go into your settings and adjust some things. It is literally too difficult for someone just to say my game is crashing without proving more information.
I9 14900K rtx 4080 64gbs of ram samsung 990 pro 2tb SSD win 11. ive tried messing with a lot of visual settings, in COP ive tried running it with DX9 and 10 instead of 11 since 11 seems to cause more issues at least according to reddit
Since CoP had DX11 supports?
Try lowering some things like grass shadows, reduce sunrays, or fiddle with other visual elements that really do little but can be taxing if you are playing on the highest settings. I also forgot to ask about your monitor and the resolution you are playing at. I would guess at least 1440p.
alright ill give that a shot
It's nice to see someone with the same amount of system memory as me. However, I am using Windows 10 still and have an RTX 3080 OC.
FYI: This is the video card I first played Shadow of Chernobyl on 17 years ago:
made it a bit longer but still crashed, ill try lowering it a bit more i guess
what comes after yantar you go to army warehouse or go to redforest?
Where game?
cs
i was following the main storyline swamp cordon garbage dark valley agroprom and went to yantar and red forest pursui strelok
but army ware house is north garbage i dont know if i should have gone there
so?
I wonder if there will be an official photomode with the game
Playing Clear Sky right now.
Oh my god.. Freedom's all just a bunch of losers and potheads
Very unlikeable group of folks.
Duty are much the same
Freedom is unlikeable.
Duty is hateable.
They're all a bunch of children.
Freedom supremecy
Won't take slander from a dirty bandit
I'm a thief, who does my job well.
Your men can barely even hold yourselves back from arguing over your intercom!
Your men were terrified of a dog that a mercenary had to kill for you!
Red forest.
It literally doesn't matter what faction you side with, if you play a freeplay mod then it's the same gameplay every time
There is a transition between red forest and the army warehouses
Story mod 
I tried nlc and I think it's weird
Kill Bandits!
Well no, Freedom is showed to be a strong faction might be "lazy hippies" an anarchists , yet here they are defending from the barrier taking on monolith head on, while also having the most juiced gear
Radsuits
ASVALS
Bulldog 6
SVU (Suppressed an not)
Fully Kitted Exosuits
Top of the line well maintained Nato Weapons
Just because at a gameplay standard duty always runs around in SKAT9'S an Berils instead of like freedom who go off guerilla tactics
their shown in the games lazy hippies at the base but when your interacting with em specially in combat they show their own tactics an metholds
I forgot to have less than 50k for the ending I wanted in Chernobyl
I just finished the game and I got the rich ending.
Bunch of Militia type researchers while wearing light weight gear to move faster around the zone while maintaining a high amount of radiation protection
Flecktarn supremecy always
W Freedom taking Rostok 
I got lucky by going in blind and wishing for the zone to disappear lol
I was saved by a bug that prevented me from doing the freedom vs duty task
Damn I just caused chaos between the two
Shi I woulda done the same lmao
I never shot at either side and just led them and watched them kill eachother
I woulda massacred the entirety of freedom but the bug saved those damn hippies from my sword
CS factions are great
they feel fun which is nice change of pace from being extremely minimal on character from moment to moment
Yeah. Definitely because it was a struggle for most of the factions.
the simple addition of faction based music adds so much
I like most the factions, I just think its funny to murder hippies
I am an American so its in my blood
RAHHH ANTI GOBERMENT RAHH FREEEDOM
the factions just don't feel as characterized in SoC compared to CS
I need to replay the games to get a better idea of whats going on
Well different on when created the games
since it went SOC CS then COP
it's a shame they were reduced a lot in CoP
CS To SOC lore is so weird on how its like 30m to an HR difference
Stalker is a gamr that requires two playthroughs to get a real idea of whats going on, the first to get immersed and feel the atmosphere in its pure form, the second to get a comprehensive understanding of the world
not reduce AW is still a huge thing , just your stuck in Zaton
I meant the characterization of the factions is weaker
just overall by the fact that they're all so close
the game feels so small compared to the previous titles
yeah COP does Freedom dirty
556 for some reason is COP shoots like staples
which 556 at that close is destroying
Yeah, CoP forces you too hard into the modding system
just Weirdge AI
the new armor sucks
I love CoP personally, I think it takes the best of the two games but it definitely has its drawbacks
out of the 3 protags , Major Degtyarev is the goat (imo
Like weapon modding or like mods?
weapon modding
CoP is my least favorite because they crunched down the gameplay for the only main upside of sidequests
Weapon modding
and also the worst main quest with the worst ending
They nerfed the weapons wayyyyyy too hard
||escorting strelok is such a letdown||
Specifically the accuracy, the accuracy is abysmal
it's to balance out the minimal human combat for the first 8 hours 
THAT'S CoP BABY
FINISHED VIDEO GAME!
I loved freedom in CS, uncle yar is my homie
Stock weapon accuracy in CoP was Better than in CS
I may be switching up CS and CoP tbh
it's the most polished on a technical level but has some awful design choices
My memory isnt the best recalling stuff that far
like the fact nimble just sells all the uniques
I liked how balanced out the mechanics of artifact searching and combat felt to me
they don't feel like they really need upgrades
artifacts respawning so quickly and easy makes the economy a joke, same with the new stash system
Womp womp
the gameplay is worse for sidequest that are just ok for the most part
800 rublos for a single bandage
the stuff like that is great
I honestly had the most enjoyment from CoP
proper helmets, new detector, new mutants and actual quests
Side quests are the best of the 3 bc that's most of the game
then there's nimble who I will never forgive
Clear sky right?
The constant monotonous moving back and forth between areas in SoC got tiring, CS is... CS, CoP felt the most balanced overall for the best experience
CoP 
CoP has a polished first couple playthroughs but it has the worst replayability
Yeah it was too easy, but certain things they added made it overall a more enjoyable experience
I disliked that guides where the only option to switch levels in CoP
CS has the tight combat and good linear sections and SoC is the same
CoP has a flimsy ending with none of the momentum of the other 2
Side with loners in cs
A loner betrays me
Kill tbe whole squad of red dots
2 tiles less of afinity
Honestly I have to say that the svarog upgrade is kinda not worth it because of the smaller dots compared to the veles
CS and SoC have such amazing buildup to the final gauntlet while CoP has like 3 conversations and a cutscene
I didnt see it being much different than having to walk all the way across the map just to reach gates into other parts of the map
Cs is setting the bar very low for me to enjoy cop
also the music which is kinda worse besides pripyat 1 which is a series highlight
If only I could see the dots I think it would be a SIGNIFICANTLY better upgrade
Yeah I still havent finished CS just cause I dislike it so much
It's just the dots are really tiny
I will finish it to have a more builded opinion
I cant
my beloved helicopter
I dont really enjoy CS much at all compared to the other two
I like the combat of stalker so it's good fun
If I had access to some decent mods then that would definitely change
also the faction wars when it works is great
800 rublos a single bandage man
they're like 200 from a merchant that likes you
You can get a gauss rifle for that 
they are not that expensive normally
Merc inventory
Traders are around 300

If chamoy says this thing is peak then anomaly must be a master piece
anomaly is fine and just suffers from a lack of unique features and boring gameplay hangovers from misery
Great game..
800 rublos a single bandage and you need 1-3 because bleed doesnt stop overtime
Pretty much all the hate comes from it gaining so much popularity over the other mods
I love how persistent and undying this community is despite the fact we havent gotten a new game in years
Devs let mods fluorish
probably because there's been a new game in development for like 8 years
the devs didn't really do much with mods besides the one thing that I think goes out this month actually
Goes to show how far a game can go when its made with passion, new cod games have several million dollars put into them and they die out in a matter of months while stalker has been prospering for several years
I wouldn't say prospering but it's nice to see that people will stick to something regardless of the delays or poor choices involving NFTs
excited for the release in a month and change
do you have a link to the mod credit thing that's going out this month?
cod is such a L game
I was thinking of standalone mods needing the trilogy
I think it's a pretty good change
I would say that a server with 80 thousand members with the most recent game being made 12 years ago is prospering
It was a link for standalone mods to the og games for the new change
considering the fact a good portion of those are due to the recent ride in announcements, I gotta disagree
stalker 2 has been going on for long enough I wouldn't really count the past couple years as if it was a series without a new game in sight
like fallout servers 
I don't see the point in it
if someone is playing new standalone mods they probably already have the trilogy
I don't think they're going to go to the effort of making sure every single standalone mod updates to need the trilogy, but they might
It's only the ones that are being updated
Mods that can't or aren't being updated should be fine
Yeah thats reasonable
If you are going to the Wish Granter at the end of SoC, that will only get you 1 of 5 False endings that the Wish Granter gives. After Yantar, your PDA told you to go meet Doc in the Agroprom Underground, where he gave you the key to open the Pripyat apartment, that contains the Decoder. The Decoder opens the vault door, near the hallway that goes to the Wish Granter, but instead you continue with some more action, and then you are back outside, where you can eventually get 1 of 2 True endings in the game.
Wait doc is in the agroprom underground?
Yes, this is the number 1 mistake people make, by not paying attention to PDA messages as they happen, not paying attention to your PDA telling you to go do this and just blindly bumbling along, only paying attention to dialogue between characters.
Yeah that was me I'm one of those people
At least I'm someone who actually played the vanilla games
I'm not calling anyone out I'm just saying
If you make frequent manuals saves (not quick saves) you would have one right before the Wish Granter. People use a dropped gun against the Vault door to glitch it open, if they failed to get the Decoder.
SoC was released in 2007 for events that takes place in 2012. The prequel Clear Sky came out in 2008, for events that take place in 2011. When SoC was made, the idea for Clear Sky didn't exist yet.
so they all died for soc?
Clear Sky implies that for the end events in 2011, were disastrous for Clear Sky and they failed in their attempts in Limansk and the CNPP and were mostly wiped out. However another way to look at this, is massive blowouts changed all the paths at the end of Clear Sky. The way was cleared for Stalkers to finally enter Rostok but the paths to the Marshes were lost, by the events of 2012. That is sort of a vague way to describe how you ret-con a so-called prequel (Clear Sky) that actually came out as a sequel to the first game SoC. Sorry if this is confusing.
Yeah it was confusing
Yes, some Clear Sky survivors like Novikov (shows up in CoP at Jupiter Mobile Lab) and Nimble, who becomes a Loner at the Rookie Village (SoC) and later aboard the Skadovsk in CoP. I was thinking who tf is Kalancha but then I realized you meant Beanpolev.
Of course if you play CoC or CotZ, all the Marshes and Clear Sky are there with most but not all the people from Clear Sky.
If you play a long game of SoC and make many return trips back and forth to the Cordon, Nimble starts acting erratic. He will leave the safety of the Rookie Village and will go over across to the road on the eastern side of the Cordon main road. Nimble will run back and forth to the Car Park as if he is reliving his escape attempt with the Player, and eventually he is usually found dead in those hills, a victim to the Military or mutants. It is Tolik that is the smart one that stays put and lives longer. My favorite thing to do is go back to the Rookie Village to ask how Tolik is doing.
Just understand that when you make the second game a prequel (Clear Sky) AFTER the first game came out (Shadow of Chernobyl) the first game is not going to be able to include events that were not even made up yet. A prequel is BEFORE and sequel is AFTER, which makes the events in Call of Pripyat a sequel to the events in Shadow of Chernobyl.

I was curious about if the developers are targeting people who have played the previous games or someone like me who has never played the trilogy can still enjoy the game. What's their vision on it?
yall, is the xbox ultimate edition still available anywhere?
In a way, both.
It's made in a way that it most appeals to OG fans without sacrificing the attention of new fans.
You can enjoy the story and plot of any of the Stalker games without having had played any of the others. I'm sure Stalker 2 will be no different.
If he breaks your heart, I am going to kill him.
100%, there will definitely be moments and certain story things where stalker veterans will have their hearts opened or have more background knowledge. But it's not a must to play the games before. But for more connection and just because all the games before were good, I would recommend it to anyone.
I heavily recommend playing at least shadow of chernobyl, they are all great games but at least if you played through the first one you'd have an idea of how the stalker world is and what mechanics and things to expect. Going in totally blind will be enjoyable sure, but you may miss lots of things on your first playthrough
I wish you all a good day be well
Who is excited for stalker 2
Same to you bro
Always 
tak
Recently was able to buy collectors edition, hyped af
Sweet! From where exactly? That info might help other fellow stalkers.
Try coolshop
Am scared that my pc will not run stalker 2
я тебе мав як пряник
hey guys i cant find any information on pre-orders, i signed up for it like a year ago and never received an email, are we able to buy the physical packs at the moment? (EU)
Check all retailers within your range if possible. Otherwise, you gotta stay put until a restock is confirmed.
im sure it will what are your specs ?
Some retailers are still taking orders as far as I heard, but don't know which ones.
Is it an official distributor?
I forgot rn but when i get gome i will tell you
If it's anywhere around the old specs, you should be able to play the game when it's out.
Settings are a different matter in that case
Alza sure does
At least in Czechia
But only for the two lower editions
Hello stalkers, do someone know why clear sky with ABR cs mod start with default setting every time? (so i m forced to set them back each time i restart).
it intel core i5-10300h and NVIDA geforce GTX 1650
bc ABR sucks
👍
oh 😦 sorry i m new to stalker, i finished soc and now playing clear sky. Do you suggest any other mod i can install? i m ok with restarting the sotry, i played just 1 hour so
SRP
ABR is not a good mod for begginers, or anybody
first time playing cs?
yes
Ok i ll swap to it so, thank you!
i think you should play it ummod or a anti crash or bug mod
Go to Cordon's military base for free cookies
i already went, damn machine gunner
You can't beat it
(Note: I've played cs only in master mode)
Without knowing how hard the game was.
Anti crash mods I would recommend but some people here would recommend full vanilla
trailer today ? 
Hey!
I wanted to say that
You stole me line 
on medium settings, I can play stalker on rtx 3060, what do you think?It is unlikely that the game will be more demanding than a monkey with a spear and silent hill
its official boys. today when i look at my windows 11 calendar, i can see todays date and the stalker 2 release date on the same screen without scrolling
well it depends i guess, what cpu you have for example and on what resolution you play? 1080p with 60 fps, i guess you could play some options on mid to high.
also the requirements might change
i5 12400f nd 1080p
yes ,but if they change,i dont think that game will be very demanding
and I will be able to play on medium, sometimes low, sometimes high settings.
it dont need to be in a negative way i think. It could also mean that it will be positive for us. I mean think about that the game will run on the series s at least. Yes only on 30fps but to be better than a series s doesent take that much imo
I also have a 3060 and play on 1080p with 60fps cap. MY cpu is a i7-9700K
The 3060 is much more powerful than ss
nd ss have only 10gb ram
See, so i wouldnt worry 😄
Thinking about that time Hbomberguy teased a 2 hour video about Clear Sky but then said "nah no one would want that"
why does clear sky sometimes doesnt save my progress when i save?
are you using ABR? Ive heard its a problem with that mod
not mods pure vanilla
try manuel saves instead of quicksaves
can u recommend any mods to fix it if u have any?
thankfully it didnt go thru
I fear what would be of us had that video dropped
make sure that you have your game in a unprotected folder (a folder that doesnt require administer privileges,) that or start the game and steam as administrator
ah cmon, he makes good vids and Stalker 2 will have sold more copies
his new vegas vid is cinema
Hbomb is one of the worst SomethingAwful escapees ngl
I hate the usual brand of smarmy intellectuals who cant write for shit
i will say his earlier videos are not great
Is your game running with admin privileges? Try running it as admin if you are not already.
might be, i downloaded lfo because i discovered it and looks amazing so i ll start a new run 🥺
LFO changes a lot of aspects in a way its no longer CS
I'd recommend that your first playthrough stay and be as vanilla as possible.
ok thx
LFO is not a good first timer mod, it rebalances the entire game and changes the entire look
oke thanks! I m planning to do multiple runs time by time, i would like to play another mod in SoC too. For now i m trying to play just to live the story, readying all conversation and understand all the lore (when i have time i also read explanations around). I just want to be ready for stalker 2 and informed for that time, i will for sure run it vanilla tho (soc i played with the gunslinger because it was bugged as hell)
SOC GA changes the entire gameplay and balancing as well as adding a few missions and changing lore

that homelander gif killed me XD
You mentioned something you shouldn't have had
Sorry i'm completly new to that 😦
check his user name haha
There is Ukrainian one of this
Don't mention Gunslinger in front of vasim 
Huh?
so which mod did you guys played for SoC?
unmodded, if you cant do that, ZRP should be enuff
with the president's face pasted on Homelander
as long as you dont use items while you are in a loot window, you shouldnt crash too much
Starter Pack 2019
good, he needs to release that Sonic 2 video after all :333
wait with the srp mod can i just add 1 mod from the first folder and then add the rest of the mods from the last folder?
it is recommended to play SRP base without any of the additional mods
Especially without the ballistic fixes :3
i mean all i wanted was the saves to work properly
i just added the inventory ratio fix and the balanced mounted turret
start steam as administrator
Balanced mounted turret??
Is that Vova Vist nerf?
el cringe
honestly just set difficulty to story for that part and run like hell

whoever nerfs vova should delete stalker ong
So true
They dont need to nerf vova
They just need to get rid of their skill issue
So uhh @pseudo rivet
Are you more of Mork type of guy or Gork type of guy?
For Gork AND Mork
HEy guys
'Sup
hey
you too !! i can't wait november now
now i have my gaz mask
Guys
I have an idea
We paint 15th October - 19th November purple in our calendars
Boom
They gone, Stalker 2 releases tomorrow
im in!

let me loose my mind in the zone
Paint 'em red, lads 
So Crispy
Whats your favourite space marine chapter?
Do they live in Dark Valley?
No, on the Rock 
Rock and Stone?
Should I look it up on wiki or lexicanum?
Lexicanum is usually more accurate, but usually has smaller pages as well

Pain looks yummy
Whatever you say Slaanesh
Nuh-uh
Anyways
My favourite chapters are probably Salamanders
Altho Vulcan only comes as my second favourite primarch
They use flamethrowers tho
And passionately await return of Vulcan who hid his artifacts
Vulcan second best primarch frfr
Right after Robocop Sillyman
I wouldn't say await, but sure
I know
But from logical standpoint hes the best
Also my entire youtube frontpage was filled with Gulliman quotes so I cant do anything
Sounds like ouch
Its Emperover
This one is based
Of course it is
Hes not in Fallout...
Exactly
shall grok be with you....
Shall it?
Is Grok the 5th chaos god?
Or will it?
Surprisingly no
So hes Nurgle then?
No
Damn
Truly damn
Anyways, let's take this to #💬┃en_offtop if we're continuing the 40k talk
playing clear sky and im at the bus stop trying to stop the smart ai from just going up to the military
Don't talk with Sidorovich
But this channel is for everything stalker, and OP2.2 (a Stalker mod) has Spacemarine armours and probably even chainswords
too late
Good to know, I'll be avoiding that mod then
what if i just throw grenades at them
Then it's impossible, just like intended
Oh come on
OP2 is peak
In fact OP stands for Obviously Peak
no i beat them once
grok is inevitable.....
Then run faster
you can take the grok out of the grok but you'll never take the grok from the grok....
It do B wat it B
Afternoon fellas
i killed most of them and one of the other stalkers killed the last one while i ran away, the problem is i ran straight into an anomaly while looking at my inventory
Happy Orktober
Sounds mid
happy groktober
Cheers
And now you've learned from it
Pfffff
Learning
I always forget about the ambush and I dont intend to change it
im broke as hell (refer to the image of me in debt) and i need money to get upgrades and repairs for my guns and armor
:3
"36000 roubles earned"
"34000 roubles spent"
Lame..
You dont even spend more than you earned
Like seriously
Who does this?
Just farm artifacts
i wish i could find them 
I got like 40k in CoP yesterday in under 30 minutes from going to anomalies with a bear
oh my god i just threw a grenade and a stalker walked into it
this ai might beat tesla
If the AI doesn’t kill itself, it’s not working right
anyways my phone doesnt have much charge and i dont have internet so im just gonna shut it off for a sec
bye bye
Ok bro cya
any cool news on s2?
delayed till next year Q3
*Q5
Q8RS
im back just to say
i found a perfect condition ak in the hands of a soldier and i will be naming it sosishka
it is the replacement to my beautiful toz that i have used since i bought it at the start of the game and its also named big bertha
splendid
goated toz user
banditcore
just a quick question
the game SUCKS!!!!
whats the best place to store an item
any trader's chest that has many ways in and out
I think I put most of my items in rostok
sidorovich chest works right?
Yes, but you'll have to go allthe way back to the cordon if you do
You can always move it if you want to
i wont be using it, ill retire it in the cordon so it's safe
good idea lol
alright, im hopping back to my game, cu
so why make a prequel that leaves the first game with more questions?
Kojima strategy
amazing
at least clear sky is not that important i mean they are barely in the swamp i have no idea why is it int he game title
we can say they all died for soc
except nimble
i hope nimble appears in cop too
no wont

clear sky
SO TRUE BESTIE
?? Stalker 2 will be great
false!
i mean it doesnt suck
it just dont stand up to soc
true!
The only people who hate stalker 2 people who can't run it lol
the only thing that makes better is artifacts at least that is my opinion
i wont be able to run it or buy it
Damn

i mean clear sky with dx8 graphics lags for me
Clear sky > stalker 2 > soc > cop
You haven't even played stalker 2 
I know it'll be a good game
no chad built like mountain CS Nimble
why are you talking like a 12 yo child
What
Why are you hating on a new game if you're a fan?
It's not "hip" or "cool"

Xbox Partner Preview is back with ~25 minutes of new gameplay trailers, exciting announcements and exclusive world premieres.
Look out for updates from exciting upcoming games like Epic and Remedy's mysterious survival horror ...

Was nobody gonna inform me about Ashot and Yar? Lmao
pumped to see more content the mods are getting old need more lore
Someone said it's just about 3rd party titles and it will feature just S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Legends of the Zone :C
S2 is third party and why lotz when it's a released game?
Series X and ps5 update maybe?
Would be kind of weird to not include 2 though since its only a little over a month away
The game isn't out yet how could anyone love or hate it
well everyone knows about their shenanigans..
Marked one?
I will get the trilogy for ps5 today or in the next days, since it will be my first time and wanted to play this for many years now, what is the best order? Soc,cs, cop / cs,soc, cop?
Soc first
SoC first then CS and then CoP
I know cs is a prequel so it would be first time wise, but maybe its more awesome to see the changes afterwards
So the release order is the best?
Yeah
Yeah SoC's main story is more of a mystery so if you play Clear sky first you kind of spoil it for yourself
Alright thanks guys!
No problem man have fun
Ask nozar
She's hating as usual lol
why dont you review the main games too?
because everyone knows Clear Sky is peak
SoC is close second
And CoP also exists
I made the spreadsheet to help people find info on mods and know what to play and not play judging my rating
trilogy doesnt need that because you should play all 3 games no matter the rating
useful
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/10/14/xbox-partner-preview-october-2024/ please GSC be here
if cs is peak then anomaly must be a masterpiece
Anomaly is abysmal dogshit and I will personally defenestrate you if you EVER compare it to Clear Sky again :3
cs is peak it you
i think soc leave the bar too high
so you should play in chronological order
too high for CoP
Too low for PEAK SKY
So if we say they wont be there, good or not good?
wrong
preston garvey radiant faction quest
sorry, you have to die
you are fighting dogs and i wont waste 300 rublos bandages on that

I'd say that's a bit bad
Mostly because it's a little more than a month to release, and the marketing campaign is a bit lacking in my honest opinion
i have replaced sosishka and my pistol silly
granted, I am not expecting to be drowning in youtube ads for stalker 2 every other video, but still
that sounds like the dream
fair point tho
also am i just exceptionally athletic or are these npcs just exceptionally overloaded
why so slow
wdym lacking?
we got so many trailers
Usually games only get like 2 or 3
and sometimes show up on gamescom and such
the other dates had LESS "ads" compared to the actual date. We are passed the days from the other delay, it was 42 days now we are at 38? The MSI stuff release, why for a game that wont release and also the documentation from some days ago that still say 20nov
I mean ofc we cant watch in gsc head and what the plans are, but i guess the more days passes and we get nearer to a date, the more it would "weird" if they now say "ups wont happen". I think at this time they would have told us already if not MAYBE on the 17th where the xbox preview partner stuff is. But if that will not happen, i mean no delay, the game will 100% release

only bad games pay for ads tho..
i met staker because of xilandro. we do not have to depend of passing the voice for newcomers like me
ads and marketing will make put eh game in non stalker community mouth
like how elden ring made less niche dark souls
we dont want trilogy skippers tho
also how do i prevent the loners from exiting the far outpost
what you are going to tell people hey i know you just bough stalker 2 but first play these 20 years old games
we dont want trilogy skippers
man it doesnt work like that
atleast they're purchasing and/or playing a game
yes
just as the founding grigas intended
elden ring had adss and good marktings
made soul community grow
and now there are more people playing er than the ones who had dark souls 2
im starting to think anomaly is a master piece the more i talk with you
im pretty sure alot of sequels to games have more players than the first games
Im thinking of defenestrating you the more you mention anomaly

Ofc bestie 
C&C4 Renegade when? 
renegadis gods of zona
also if people play stalker 2 they'll probably also play the trilogy after because they don't know the lore

One can hope
when I throw bricks at god
the yearn for lore bestows upon the new stalkers
Just be careful about what Sigmar throws back
just dodge it
just take a step to the left
He didn't 
it hit the truck not him trust
Who gives a flying rug?

that's so perfectly timed
Exactly, so he didn't 
i mean it didnt hit HIM so that means he technically dodged it 
He didn't

Call of Chernobyl with the Arsenal Overhaul is so much better than anomaly
