I hope there will be cats in stalker 2

that would be nice

[granite mortar]

There will be Bayuns

[storm kernel]

looks kind of similar to a cat

[granite mortar]

It is a cat

[storm kernel]

true

[granite mortar]

Bayun my beloved

I love bayuns
Even tho most mods barely utilise them
Its usually just reskinned dogs
Only unique implementation I can think of is Goldsphere where they cause distorsions in your vision

[hardy turtle]

where trailer

[granite mortar]

Under there

[dense hatch]

in 35 days

[granite mortar]

In 35 days we get trailer about another delay

[indigo marsh]

I thought you said you hated bayun?

[granite mortar]

I hate bayuns that are just reskinned dogs with triple the damage

Looking at you Call of Pissery!

[indigo marsh]

Those are annoying as hell

[granite mortar]

Goldsphere bayuns are PEAK

At least those in Cordon
||Those that the cat lady spawns are kinda ass ngl||

[indigo marsh]

The vision being impaired around them is pretty unique

[crisp ruin]

I hate bayuns, those big cats I HATE THEM

mfs jumpin' out of NOWHERE to attack you

just give me smol kots

I'll not kill them, I'll love them

[granite mortar]

[crisp ruin]

[wary cosmos]

Lads i have a legit question

Is the PC physical release happening ?

[crisp ruin]

Some countries have physical release with some content in it (like cards, stickers etc.)

[tropic dove]

I'm trying to pre-order physical ultimate edition but I'm not getting any mail from the system, is it working?

[crisp ruin]

@worn oar help this guy bruh

[worn oar]

It is

You'll be updated if something changes

[tropic dove]

I get this message : Thank you for your interest!
Please, check your email for further instructions.

but I haven't got any mail yet

[worn oar]

Other than that, I can not help much as it's beyond my area of expertise

[worn oar]

You'll only get updates if there is any

Restocks may or may not happen as it all depend on distributors

Try checking those close to your area and see if the game is available there

I heard that some are still taking pre-orders

[tropic dove]

I checked but none has the ultimate

[worn oar]

You found only the standard one?

[tropic dove]

I've been tryng to preorder since july still haven't got any confirmation mail

[worn oar]

I'd say wait a little more

[crisp ruin]

Ain't site has list what game stores sells pre-order stuff? I had other game companies doing it.

[north herald]

I saw on the faq if you preordered the game physical you will get a key per mail. How will this work with amazon etc. Or is it only working with some retailer?

[worn oar]

#🖤┃s2-pre-order the list is here

But the ultimate edition is basically out of stock

[tropic dove]

yeah but it is not available anymore on game-legends.de as they suggest

cm.on I've spent last 4 months trying to preorder once a week... I only got 1 mail in july with a clickable confirm button but nothing else

I fear I'm gonna miss out

[granite mortar]

The 2 more expensive editions are out of stock globally

You can still get the cheaper 2 in some countries

[worn oar]

As I said, a restock may or may not happen. You can just wait until you see or hear any news about the matter being solved. Other than that, if I'm not mistaken, I saw a message in #📜┃gsc-answers mentioning that restock is up to the stores, but they are trying to sort it out

Those are my words, I can be wrong.

[crisp ruin]

Game has Turkish support
No Turkish Retailer seller

[tropic dove]

so mad

[worn oar]

Well, I don't think it's GSC

It's mostly related to retailers

At least what I believe is that

[crisp ruin]

[worn oar]

Again, those are my own words. It's not within my area of expertise.

[crisp ruin]

I know bruh, even I asked those Turkish retailers, none of them has pre-order list but only has for other games they doing.

[worn oar]

You can only wait for official news

[crisp ruin]

I'm thinking, this is reason why because game isn't popular in my country. Like popular like CoD or any Bethesda titles, because I did saw those pre-orders.

it happens

[worn oar]

The game will definitely grow in terms of popularity, and perhaps even join the mainstream flow.

I really wish it get the love it deserves and this will be my only exception

[crisp ruin]

same here

Because I hate games looks like same, I want some different

[worn oar]

I mean my opinion on mainstream is always negative, but not this time. I'm willing to welcome a real game as a mainstream, finally, and hopefully.

I have no doubt in my heart that the game will know success. I only hope ppl get it as it is, a stalker game, not some taktikool piw piw.

[sly viper]

Delay soon stalker👋
Really? when? ⁉️
NOW!💀

[native sparrow]

Plot twist, Stalker 2 is and has always been a fan made game that was created by people who pretended to be GSC for years.

[fluid abyss]

I just hope that Stalker 2 has REALLY good ragdoll physics

[worn oar]

I'd call that troll bait message

[worn oar]

Xbox events/gamescom and other, and just ai?

[crisp ruin]

Not only the game they made, I hope the country will make some games like Poland started to make games that is interesting. My country even, our little game, Mount & Blade getting bigger with modding community. I have some ideas to make game even but not gettin it into real.

[loud gate]

Previews in 9 mins

[crisp ruin]

GSC already succeeded in making it to world wide gamers fanbase more than a decade ago.

The trilogy was a breakthrough at its time

[worn oar]

This channel?

[lethal orchid]

I slightly regret finding out about scar, imagine if they did strelok

[worn oar]

Wouldn't it be wiser to mute the #📰┃announcement in your case

[lethal orchid]

Well there will certainly be discussions here

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-gif-17552966235424643644

[celest blaze]

In that case it's best to not even come to the stalker server until you beat stalker 2 lol

[lethal orchid]

Stranger ain't strelok buddy, sorry

[worn oar]

I don't have Nitro 😦

[naive fog]

At that point you might as well mute the entire server except for offtop, mods and bot channels lol

[celest blaze]

@loud gate throw the emoji

Maybe even offtop too

[celest goblet]

Looks like a big media embargo went up

Seeing a bunch of stuff pop up

[worn oar]

[celest blaze]

Bros a controller now

[loud gate]

Yep, all preview embargos went up 10 minutes ago.

[north herald]

German site gamestar also dropped a preview. They visit them in prague and played the first 3 hours

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3R_ZaIuV1w if someone want to wacht. Maybe there are also some exclusive footage

[worn oar]

If new footage are there, I'll pin

I need someone to confirm

I can't watch rn

[north herald]

I see some scenes that i didnt saw on the ign one

[zinc parrot]

https://youtu.be/S3R_ZaIuV1w?si=BcV00xL4HOYaVacM

Found this too!

[north herald]

Dear god the shootouts will be good They react to their fallen friends and talk to each other in battle. Just like in the last of us 2. This will be epic boys

[hazy helm]

wow, this has never been attempted before, only in movies

[restive jasper]

Are we entering the ZONE on Nov 20th ?

[north herald]

at least not good as thought it would be

[hazy helm]

yes

[north herald]

the last of us 2 did it to this day perfect. Felt good and dynamic

[hazy helm]

shame I dont watch movies much

[north herald]

haha i see

[loud gate]

Yes.

[celest blaze]

No

I'll be there on the 15th

If there is any new footage, ask Vasim to pin it. I'll be home soon

[hazy helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3R_ZaIuV1w

[hazy helm]

dthey should let you pin more than 50 messages

[loud gate]

HE WAS A GOOD STALKER plays in S2, we are back.

[north herald]

Also at 8:13 for example you can see the dialogue options

[finite dragon]

hmmm
what is scar's actual name?

[hazy helm]

Scar

[worn oar]

I freed 2 more pin slots

[finite dragon]

thats his nickname

[worn oar]

Not told! He's only known as scar or merc

[hazy helm]

I ahte the TES Dialogue Method

they should give me a window with the transcripts

[north herald]

I think it will be a matter of getting used to it

[hazy helm]

I have played many games with thisº

it sucks as opposed to having the old windowed approach

[north herald]

The first area will be limited after reaching some sort of progression in the story. But even in that area you will have many things to do says gamestar

We should not just focus on symbols, but keep our eyes open. Side quests are only picked up nearby and don't clutter up the entire map

they only show up when you are very near

[marsh cliff]

😭 A side quest can be failed immediately if you loot a dead friendly corspe
We're so back Stalkers

[north herald]

Sidequests, at least they have played, aren't just blunt shootouts or go there and do that, but also tell a nice little story in some ways.

[indigo marsh]

There is a countdown to September 5

[mystic anchor]

These previews are really making me hopeful for the game, in all of it’s janky glory

[marsh cliff]

It's not an Europe game without same janky tbh

As long as the performance is good. I'm cool with that

[north herald]

You can make different decisions not only in the main story.

Dear god this will be my game of the year

[marsh cliff]

Well I guess the 20th Nov release day is official after all these preview vids are out

[mystic anchor]

Yeah it seems like they’ve taken the COP quest approach which I was really hoping for. It had the best side quests in the series

[north herald]

Yes. From the preview EVERYTHING that was good in the other 3 titles are present here. And new features that will also add more to the atmosphere. These guys cooking!

[mystic anchor]

||i really hope we get a quest chain similar to the guy who constantly tries to scam you culminating in stealing everything in your stash||

[marsh cliff]

Would be so peaked if you could do side quests to recruit more people...for a suicidal mission just like in COP

[mystic anchor]

Vano my beloved

[north herald]

yes i think also

Gamestar also said it was running good. But i dont know if they played it on pc or xbox

[marsh cliff]

I hope that It's the release day that they're confident with the quality of the game
Not forced to release by anymeans
I still have some bad PTSD with Red Fall

[north herald]

||The first area/chapter is called "the lesser zone"||

[hazy helm]

lets hope it marries SOC and COP rather than a COP retread

thats the worst case scenario

[mystic anchor]

With a lil bit of CS faction wars for extra spice

[hazy helm]

there wont be CS Faction Wars

[last moth]

Cop's secondary quest system?

No way

[last moth]

😔

[north herald]

I think, they promised us that these delays were needed. I mean sure those previews cant review the whole game. But from what ive heard on gamestars side it is really good, at least the 3 hours they had time to play it

[mystic anchor]

Way

[marsh cliff]

I'm cool with delays as long as they can deliver a polished product

We've all been waiting so long for this game. I don't want them to mess it up because someone in the business chair decides to push it out while It's not ready

[lucid vortex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=810sE6W80Qc windows central preview

[celest blaze]

Fr we got more then enough examples on how bad that is lol

Outlaws should have NEVER shipped in the state it did was and is awful

[marsh cliff]

Btw I wonder If the Minimum and Recommend sys reqs were still accurate and true after all those years tho

[celest blaze]

I'm curious aswell

[marsh cliff]

The minimum sys reg seems a bit too good to be true for an UE5 game

GTX 1060, AMD Ryzen 5 1600X / Intel Core i5-7600K and only 8GB of Ram lol

[north herald]

I mean if yes, wouldnt have gsc changed it already and announced ? On the other side they are different than other devs. haha

[marsh cliff]

They definitely should change it to TBA or atleast update it by now I think

It's less than 2 months...If the sys reqs on the steam store weren't true. It would be kinda misleading alot

[north herald]

yes, because they also told in the gsc-answere tab that they will announce it when it will happen.

[celest blaze]

Makes me wonder since consoles can run it those with older tech could just lower graphics

[marsh cliff]

Yeah Series S can run it

[north herald]

Series S

[marsh cliff]

So I do expect a lot of low end PCs to run it on low

[celest blaze]

Wait what?

That's CRAZY haha that thing is so weak

[north herald]

Xbox Series S will run the game at 30 fps with 1080p if i remember.

[celest blaze]

I think a xbox 1 X is stronger then it if I remember correctly

[marsh cliff]

Significantly stronger
Series S is even weaker than my old ass low end 5 years old PC haha

[celest blaze]

💀

[north herald]

could be yes. So if youre stronger than the actual series s i wont see why you shouldnt run it. And if you run it also on 1080 p and not on 4k this is also a big advantage when it comes to performance

[celest blaze]

I gotta give it to GSC to get it running smoothly on that system

[marsh cliff]

Also the worst case scenario. You can sort of turn on FSR 3, DLSS, Intel Xess for some performance boost IG

[north herald]

But i guess we will have to wait till release. Because i dont think that they let the people test it on the s

[silver pagoda]

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

[hardy turtle]

aw man, I wanted to buy MSIxGSC rtx 4070 ti super, but it's not available in any local stores in brazil, only if I import, but would basically pay two gpu in taxes

[tropic dove]

I was lucky the gpu is available in my country but I'm facing the same problem for mouse and keyboard ://

[north herald]

Gpu on amazon for over 1k euros...

[tropic dove]

stalker keycaps looks great

[tropic dove]

yeah kinda expensive but as far as I can see it's not that much higher from a 4070ti super

at least in my stores

[north herald]

899 for a ti on amazon

[tropic dove]

what brand? that might be the cheapest I've seen

[north herald]

https://www.amazon.de/MSI-GeForce-Grafikkarte-Speicher-DLSS3-5/dp/B0CQMRVZ3M/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=25WDI4PSMBK3A&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NLo_hVlt3BRG2Kfkxp9H4WX_Xo0XgHUy_gDSmamOb4Bl0DJ6FsTnghJpxTEcbQNUUsQ7YW742svyy5_B7PjcdFXRbScBKInBMfa4KOC62vX5BgxxRU3X8X6V3clOGtZ3S7fYp_HFLXwFPKwkqgvdqQThVB7yKkNTzYsTYeC76MgxJlHMBGlh0lAK-vWc4m9qEiyLk6E_jRhAgDkUckZibnBGYqfktB3tcs166zcNWO4.FcLNjb91Ok95wYDQE41z_QcYeWe9CFr5zPZ6TMZoA7Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=4070+ti&qid=1729088497&sprefix=4070ti%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1 msi

[tropic dove]

not available tho

[north herald]

in your country in mine yes

[tropic dove]

makes sense

[north herald]

oh yes its amazon.de germany. my bad

[tropic dove]

over there the cheapest is from zotac but I never tried anything from them so idk

at least I had good experiences with msi support

[hardy turtle]

1k euros = 6k reais, cheaper than buying locally here, but would cost 12k with taxes, rip

I'll just buy a normal one then

[tropic dove]

is it unavailable just in brazil or whole south america?

2x the price for taxes seems crazy

[silk sparrow]

holy shit map is insane

they even added stuff from announcement trailer from 2020 i think or something

[icy prism]

WE ARE SO BACK

[silk sparrow]

im glad they took their time

one thing is a bit weird for me is quest npc. they too idle for me.

[loud gate]

added? Was always in the game)

[thin shuttle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YBl6XW-S4c can't be more happy with this

[silk sparrow]

different reviews all 8:44

so Lens is working on the car

i knew it

we will drive into cnpp with a gang

[hardy turtle]

I believe whole LATAM, and yeah, recent taxes changes made that...

[deep quiver]

is there any news on soccer 2?

[loud gate]

They removed yellow paint from the boards and significantly lowered it on ladders. We are back.

[finite dragon]

Yo spartan what do u think about that npc interaction

[sweet belfry]

stalker 2 is what is keeping me sane

[loud gate]

Godly

[silk sparrow]

yep, i notice it too. just some small patches of yellow on ladder

[finite dragon]

Really? I personally didn’t like it much it was giving fallout 4 vibe some but its still fine, maybe if they make the choosing text smaller

[loud gate]

how else to do?

[sonic flax]

Not only do these previews look really good, almost all of the people, who played it made it sound like it's going to be really amazing. An actual milestone.
Hype through the roof, very happy for GSC.

[silk sparrow]

Gloomy interaction was weird. dude just idle before you talk to him

https://youtu.be/9YBl6XW-S4c?si=iq2zNzti1nOd7DIG&t=166

if gloomy would track skif coming would look more real/natural

[granite mortar]

it was yellow, not orange

i dont agree, but it dont matter. game looks amazing

[cold frost]

Idk why this ain't linked but this guy went to GSC and played STALKER 2 in Prague. Uploaded 1 hour ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K2pvA5ScoE

[finite dragon]

Like the way the animation of them worked is like how bethseda makes, and the response text choosing part was large, so the player kills the enemy goes to the man and he doesnt move and i have to preas F to interact if not he remains silent, thats like the only thing i didnt like, maybe its soon to judge tho but that footage was mid overall it was amazing

[silk sparrow]

because 6+ same videos already out with same content

and all of them released 1hr ago or something

[cold frost]

Fair enough didn't see the guy above me post the same shit lmao

Hopefully it still comes out in Nov 20 2024. I'm so excited

[loud gate]

It comes out 100% this November bcs these are final previews.

[still ridge]

And we might get a new trailer tomorrow

[cold frost]

I hope so Spartan Strelok

[silk sparrow]

game is done. they just doing QA

[cold frost]

Call it lame, or me a loser but honestly I've never been this hyped about a game in my life. Closest was in 2013 when Rome 2 Total War came out, but that... I never looked for every new piece of info daily. I am truly EXCITED.

[silk sparrow]

what a lame loser

[deep quiver]

[cold frost]

damn, good thing I don't care what others think about me >_>

[cold frost]

[shy lake]

They’re actually trying to get a 60fps mode on series s, my god….

"At first, we thought bringing Stalker 2 to the Xbox Series S might be impossible. We have such a big game with so many mechanics, a huge amount of things. It felt like this must be impossible to do. But then we start optimizing, adding new features for streaming information. Unreal Engine has a lot of features for this, but for our game, we really had to squeeze up every megabyte from every piece of system content we could, and now we did it.

After this experience, I believe it's possible for any game to reach the Xbox Series S' memory limits. And yes, not every developer, every studio has the opportunity, or the additional time to optimize for the Xbox Series S. We had to boost our expertise on the optimization side, which also helped the PC build, making it a lot more performant. We have quite low minimum PC requirements for a modern game."

"The game runs at 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X, there are some times when it might dip to 55 or so, but hopefully we can optimize further there before or after release. We allow bigger drops in narrative cutscenes that are full of complexity and VFX and the like, since it won't impact the player's movement experience.

On the Xbox Series S, we stick to 30 FPS. However, in many cases, we have managed to hit 60 FPS, but it's not as consistent as the Series X. But we're looking to get a performance mode for Xbox Series S, to get it to 60 FPS. We think it's possible."

"The surprises didn't end here either. I agreed to help Squint by retrieving the artefact, and descended into a cave system for a fraught encounter with a bloodsucker – a tentacle-faced mutant that can turn invisible. But after defeating the creature and retrieving the artefact, I received a "mission failed" notification. Excuse me, Stalker 2, but don't you mean "mission succeeded"? I soon found out the game was in the right, as upon returning to Squint’s hidey-hole, I discovered that he was dead.

I asked the developer supervising the session if this was supposed to happen, to which he shrugged, explaining that Squint was not a particularly important character. This much certainly proved true. Despite "failing" to help Squint, the story continued unhindered, and I got to sell the artefact I found for a nice cash bonus."

Raaahhhh

[crisp ruin]

I've thinking.... This game's ending going to be so sad that will you cry for it. I've experienced this when I played games that have deep stories. I remember, the ending of Cyberpunk 2077 (The Sun Ending and DLC's The ending where you get Surgery) made me have ugly cry, the story literally hurt me and feel alone in the game's world.

But pls

DO NOT KILL OFF RICHTER

I'VE BEEN HURT WHEN JACKIE WAS GONE

Did they give S2 a rating?

Don’t imagine they will until launch

[lethal orchid]

Right

Well this ign preview article is glazing so I think it'll be high

[lethal orchid]

Well, guess you have to, @old jungle

[granite mortar]

not yet afaik

[still ridge]

The joke is that IGN praises a lot of games before they rate them and then once they release they give the games like a 6/10 lol

[granite mortar]

HELL YEAH

or should I say
HELLCAT YEAh

Also vice versa, they can rate games 10/10 that absolutely stink

hello stalkers I understand HoC is not coming to PS5 on launch but is it perma-locked on Xbox and PC or will it eventually cone out on PS5 after a year or so?

[normal bobcat]

AFAIK there was a temporary exclusivity deal

But no idea if thats changed or not

[old jungle]

they are a liability

[silent shore]

We live in an extremely strange timeline where Halo is going to come to Playstation before STALKER 2

I live spoiler free

[old jungle]

we don't know

Last trailer I watched was scar

I refuse to watch gameplay stuff until release

[normal bobcat]

How so

[old jungle]

what good do they bring?

[balmy hound]

The temporary exclusivity (unofficial) news came in 2021, things probably have changed since.

[lethal orchid]

Oh lmao

I just like people who rant about IGN

I mean strelok is literally me

[hardy turtle]

stalkerbros we are SO BACK

[fallow obsidian]

Why

Did stalker 2 come out

[hardy turtle]

good reviews so far, looks very stalkery

[lethal orchid]

Yeah

[fallow obsidian]

Yeah I don't trust reviewers

But no one I know is gonna play it

So I have to play it myselfe

[granite mortar]

just ask the chuds
they sure know exactly what the game is gonna be like from looking on single screenshot of SoC

[hardy turtle]

I respect that

[still ridge]

Do you just not like pets?

[lethal orchid]

Anomalous predicted it the moment he downloaded the first byte of SoC

[still ridge]

smh

[old jungle]

correct

[lethal orchid]

The cunning plans of GSC were revealed to him

[fallow obsidian]

Oh yeah chuds I would ask them
But I don't know one that's playing it

But

I do have a really stupid idea

[loud gate]

maybe, maybe not.

[normal bobcat]

Sdalgr too

[normal bobcat]

Tbf I do know where you're coming from when you say pets are a liability

Have a dog that swallowed a rock. He's only alive because we found a vet willing to do the surgery in exchange for a complete re-painting of their office

I don't trust reviewers and no one I trust is playing

I appreciate that dudes video for helping me get into stalker but god is he bad at the game

[fallow obsidian]

Oh yeah dude sucks

[broken latch]

Love his soc video

[dense hatch]

I like watching people who are bad at the game play it because they normally get better

[broken latch]

He has massive skill issue tho

[dense hatch]

it was almost as painful as civvie's series to watch

[granite mortar]

go to reddit
its their permanent residence

[worthy lagoon]

The physical pre-orders have been available for years

[rapid bear]

happy bread day ‼️

[worthy lagoon]

The release date is in less than a month

[granite mortar]

in the whole world*

[dense hatch]

unsurprisingly something with extremely high demand is always trying to catch up

[fallow obsidian]

Aren't chuds right wingers? or am just not getting Internet slang

[worthy lagoon]

There's no way they can keep producing the props and backpacks

[dense hatch]

I'm not surprised they can't make as many as people want honestly

[worthy lagoon]

My guess is that the physical editions are probably already in stock and almost ready to be shipped

[granite mortar]

chuds are most western "stalker" players

[worthy lagoon]

Do you know how much it would take?

[dense hatch]

it's a good problem to have if people are so hyped for a game that you run out of pre-order stuff

[worthy lagoon]

You can get the digital edition

[dense hatch]

because they promoted it so well that it already sold out

[worthy lagoon]

I haven't seen GSC promoting to buy the physical edition rn

[dense hatch]

it's just stuff on the website

[worthy lagoon]

It's just there, you'd get lucky if you can reserve one in case someone changes his mind on the pre-order

[dense hatch]

wonder what they'll do in order to keep the hype going after release besides dlc

[worthy lagoon]

Huh?

[indigo marsh]

F6F hellcat

[worthy lagoon]

There's no hype after the game releases wdym

[old jungle]

multiplayer update, modding support update, and so on

[indigo marsh]

Or m-18 hellcat

[mystic helm]

i have waited for such a long time, i will cry if i dont get access to the ultimate physical.
but we'll just have to see in due time.

[worthy lagoon]

Other than updates

[dense hatch]

games usually slowly die off overtime with DLC sometimes bringing attention back to it

[worthy lagoon]

Have you pre ordered it?

[granite mortar]

M18

[old jungle]

shop

[worthy lagoon]

That's if the game is repetitive or if the devs are pretty bad

[mystic helm]

once s2 was announced i "subscribed" on GCS to notify me once the sales start.

[dense hatch]

no it's just for games in general

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah.... Best option was to always check the physical editions in #🖤┃s2-pre-order

[dense hatch]

like look at pretty much any franchise

borderlands 2 was very popular on release but it has died down a lot overtime

[worthy lagoon]

STALKER

Fallout NV

[dense hatch]

pretty much any

[worthy lagoon]

TF2

[dense hatch]

3 out of several thousand

also TF2 has died down a lot just looking at the adjusted player count

FNV is just the same group of people who have issues moving on in life

[old jungle]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is too unique to suffer such a fate

[worthy lagoon]

Well, it's too late for that ig

[worn oar]

Oooof

[worthy lagoon]

A man can hope

[sly matrix]

can a man cope though?

[dense hatch]

if you're lucky someone might cancel their order

this isn't a "get shit together" thing this is a "400000 people want something that took a long time to get 1000 made"

[worthy lagoon]

Huh? It's not their fault, the ultimate edition pre orders were pretty limited

[dense hatch]

oddly enough making thousands of items specifically for a certain order is hard

esp considering what the company has been through

[sand fiber]

false

[old jungle]

not to mention GSC is very picky on the quality, they won't accept any supplier

[worthy lagoon]

Ur false

[sand fiber]

the only reason this game's still alive is vast and unique total conversion modding scene

[worthy lagoon]

Ur false

[sand fiber]

i will forcefem you

[dense hatch]

I think that still counts for the game though doesn't it

admittedly more for the franchise compared to any specific game

it's clear that they get some attention considering how more recent videos on stalker do

[worthy lagoon]

For the hundredth time, there won't be a "My Marked One is a futa" total conversion mod, stop asking for it in ModB

[worn oar]

[sand fiber]

i WILL forcefem you

[dense hatch]

would y'all take a stalker film except strelok is Bryan Cranston or some other popular american actor

[worthy lagoon]

I've seen @worn oar irl, maybe try that on him, he looks quite girly

everything else is accurate to the vibe of the series

EXCEPT whoever plays strelok

[sand fiber]

no it has to be like Epifantsev or some guy like dat

Hello there Stalkers still no news about preordering collectors edition?

[normal quail]

where can i find pripriat reclamationn project?

[dense hatch]

I don't think there is one because it's polished enough without it

[lethal orchid]

dont fall for the propaganda 😭

[normal quail]

are you sure?

[lethal orchid]

Yeah its more than polished enough man, it almost never crashes

[normal quail]

because bugs in soc made my enojoy less xpecially the stashes bugs

and clear sky has a buggy ai

[lethal orchid]

CoP is the cleanest

Clear sky is the most soulful though, and looks the best

You really shouldn't encounter many bugs in CoP

[normal quail]

what do you mean with soulful?

[lethal orchid]

The most interesting components

Clear sky's world felt the best to me out of the 3 games

And it looks the best too

[worthy lagoon]

1st) Are you aware of the events that GSC had to go through?

2nd) Are you aware that it's GSC that orders how many backpacks etc to order/supply? (They choose their supplier/manufacturer as well)

3rd) Are you aware that the game releases in less than a month? Are you seriously expecting that they'd still be making backpacks and all?

[rotund widget]

The jorno that's made the episode is in the comments replying to people that he rly enjoyed the game & is joking it currently stands at 7 minimum for him 😁

[dense hatch]

GSC has 300 employees compared to activision Blizzard's 13000

it's not AAA despite appearances

[hasty birch]

Ya I really ernjoyed my time playing Clear Sky the most, even if the faction stuff was really buggy every time. It had some really nice visuals and the zones where fun and always changing. Unlike CoP which, once you got out of Zaton, it was almost a linear experience to the end.

[worthy lagoon]

When are they going to give the rating?

[sour goblet]

strelok will be played by a random balding eastern european

[granite mortar]

the game was delayed several times, over all that extra time it gained more attention
the amount of people who want to buy ultimate physical edition is much larger than the original anticipated number for initial release

[rotund widget]

That's an insanely informative article over there at Eurogamer, the details of a short playthrough are described so clearly you can actually connect some of em to the footage that's been presented today in the media 😁

[sour goblet]

is that good or bad news, or both?

[dense hatch]

I mean it already happened so the fact it's coming out is good

[granite mortar]

it means GSC didnt expect such interest from players
combine that with 3 extra years we got to pre-order the game and the available number is far bellow requested number
its good news for GSC, bad for players

[normal quail]

@granite mortar should i used pripiat reclamation patch?

[hardy bear]

Been perusing reddit and I've seen a fair few posts talking about how buggy the games are, but I could count on one hand the number of crashes I had across the three games combined. did I just get lucky or is it mostly exaggeration?

[granite mortar]

no idea
never played PRP as I never had problems with CoP
Other than some crashes that seem to have been fixed by installing OXR

[normal quail]

well how do i install oxer?

[granite mortar]

https://github.com/OpenXRay/xray-16/wiki/[EN]-How-to-install-and-play

[lusty sigil]

i cant wait for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl ❤️

[dense hatch]

it's not really needed for CoP and I wouldn't suggest going through the effort of installing it unless you encounter some game ending issue

[normal quail]

what does exactly it does?

[granite mortar]

Support for 64-bit.
Support for ARM, ARM64, E2K (Elbrus 2000), PPC64LE.
Works on Linux, macOS, OSL (Elbrus OS).
New OpenGL renderer. (currently, requires OpenGL 4.1 minimum, lowering to at least OpenGL 3.3 is planned)
Improved performance, better FPS.
Original bugs fixes.
New features for modmakers.
Gamepad support. (not yet finished, but you can try already, see #943)
New game SDK being currently developed. (see Game Editor)

I had my playthrough bug out and crash the game in Pripyat twice, 2 whole playthroughs just destroyed right before end
OXR fixed that for me

[normal quail]

my computer is pretty potato
so much that the real diffilurly in clear sy was the lag

[crisp ruin]

Bruh, AMD just announced Ryzen 7 5800X3D has reached End of Life

[normal quail]

do you think im better with 32 or 64 bits?

[crisp ruin]

32 bit is dead for systems, get 64 bit system

[normal quail]

so do youb recommended?

[sand fiber]

grok yourself

[normal quail]

if you do why not for clear sky?

[worthy lagoon]

I wanted to make a deez nuts joke

But I'd feel bad for you

[granite mortar]

CS OXR isnt finished

also for CoP you dont need bugfixes, its just that better engine is nice, doesnt affect gameplay, improves the game without changing it on surface level

[normal quail]

so for soc zrp with no twekas
for cs srp no optionals
and cop oxr?

[swift wadi]

?

[hardy bear]

You can go completely base and it's fine so do what you please

[worn oar]

wait what?

All that beard

[granite mortar]

SoC - vanilla (ZRP is dogshit)
CS - SRP (no ballistic patch)
CoP - OXR (completely optional, the game is fine without it)

[normal quail]

but the ammount fo bugs in soc

[granite mortar]

precisely ZERO

Don't feel bad

[west minnow]

the game looks so ready

[normal quail]

a stash is 3 loading screen away
go to get it
the stash is empty

get an assasination job
the stalker dissapeared from earth

[granite mortar]

thats just alife dummy

[sour goblet]

there's like 12 stashes i havent gotten in the swamps and im at agroprom

should i go get them

[granite mortar]

nah

[normal quail]

theres no swamp in soc

[sour goblet]

i mean cs lol

[normal quail]

will stalker 2 be peak?

[hardy bear]

hopefully

[west minnow]

I played SoC vanilla, I couldn't complete the ending ;-;

[normal quail]

if they are far no
if they are close yes you can go to agrprom from swamp

[sour goblet]

i dont think ill actually be able to run it

[hardy bear]

I've got high hopes given the way they've talked about it, but I guarantee it's technical state will be a different story

[granite mortar]

cant beat Goldsphere

[normal quail]

neither do i it just that if the weapons are accurate he will say idogshit

why monolith is still alive in cop?

[granite mortar]

it only takes place few months after SoC

[normal quail]

thank you
i miight try goldsphere after cop
is a good mod for after the trilogy?

[west minnow]

|| I think I wasn't ready to do it but I was blocked from going back to get more loot, or maybe something wasn't triggering an event and I was stuck on a ethernal loop of dying for the helicopter and infinite enemies ||

[granite mortar]

no
definitely not

[west minnow]

idk how to mark as spoiler lol

[hardy bear]

|| around what you type is how you do a spoiler

[normal quail]

what is the road to play goldsphere then'

[granite mortar]

for first mod after trilogy I would recommend something simpler
like Thorny Way or Vector of Alienation

[west minnow]

thx

[granite mortar]

Goldsphere is state of mind

[normal quail]

so should i not play it then?

[granite mortar]

you should try it but later
its way too much for first stalker mod

[hardy bear]

I'll jump head first in blind 😎

[granite mortar]

start with the two I mentioned, then maybe Bad Company trilogy or Wind of Time
After that you should be ready for Goldsphere

[normal quail]

okay after i finish cop ill ask you for advice in that matter

[normal quail]

shoudl i not?

[normal quail]

sometimes i dont knwo what you are trying to tell

[indigo marsh]

At this rate, I'll end up having one for everyone here

[granite mortar]

This used to be my thing
Doc siad that to me
It loses its charm when everyone gets a Doc quote

[worn oar]

I'm not sure you're getting the point after all

[crisp ruin]

Soon we're getting Richter talking about us in game and Rahmi gonna use that as gif too

[granite mortar]

Col. Kowalski?

Krezzin got the first one, so his was the template for all other gifs, basically.

[worn oar]

Well, I'm taking stalker 2 as it is, no matter how much other ppl seem to whine about small details that they can not digest

[worn oar]

Monolith speaking

Brainwash talk does not count

[crisp ruin]

Bro I just hate the Minimal UI, it is overused. Otherwise... Richter in bed scene

[narrow tartan]

The dialog text boxes and HUD are a bit too different

[worn oar]

Idc actually! The game is mind-blowing already. I will not crack tears on small stuff that cam be disabled all together at will.

The hud is fine to me regardless

I might even keep it

On

[narrow tartan]

Yeah. Minimal is a great way to put it. Looks too clean too.

[crisp ruin]

If UI can be turn off to take cinematic video....

I have an idea to make some fan video

[worn oar]

Bro, I watched the recent reviews on the game and fuck all small controversies, the game is absolutely as I wished it to be. It only took some very defined time in the lesser zone to know how good the game is.

I felt words today

I imagined myself stuck in one decision

[granite mortar]

No cap
On skibidi?

[narrow tartan]

Criticisms, no matter the size, are all valid.

[worn oar]

And I'm really into making those that often result on good outcome

Imma really enjoy the game and possibly return as a caveman the moment I'm done with the first playthrough lmao

[worn oar]

Criticism is a big word! Not everything can be called that

Criticism has rules

Specifications if you wish to call it that

It's not just" oh, the game gun play looks meh" then you call it Criticism

[narrow tartan]

How does my criticism of the UI violate the specifications?

[worn oar]

Did I even reply to your "Criticism"?

I didn't even read it

Hold on a sec

Alright, what you said is not Criticism, it is an opinion based statement.

Which is pretty much normal and okay.

What I said was not directed to you

It's just a general statement if you wish to call it that

And it's just my simple and own opinion.

[sour goblet]

[narrow tartan]

I don't even think the UI is very STALKER-ish either. It loses the dirty and gritty look of what made the OG UI unique.

[worn oar]

This may qualify as criticism. You mapped your words and reasoning this time.

[crisp ruin]

I just only want to see Richter, sleeping on bed to watch him over and squeezing his puffy cheeks....

[worn oar]

To criticize, one must know what's he's talking about, provide comparison, show reasoning, so on.

guys do you think stalker 2 will be good?

[dense hatch]

yeah from the deep dive

being able to customize the HUD removes a few of my issues like the enemy radar and compass

[digital fern]

really hope so tbh i finished stalker shoc for a 1000 times

[naive fog]

What about CS

[dense hatch]

nothing about what they've shown makes it seem like anything should be bad

[naive fog]

And CoP too

[dense hatch]

probably will have a post launch bugfix patch because it's a stalker game but I doubt it'll be that rough

[digital fern]

finished all of them in general but shoc stuck with me because i used to watch my dad when i was 6-7 years old playing it

[worn oar]

Not even a single doubt in my mind

there is our daily countdown?

how many days left? im lost

[granite mortar]

Not as good as Goldsphere of course

[granite mortar]

You should do a stalker variation of 12 days of Christmas for occasion of S2 release

[worn oar]

5days and it's one month

Ooof

[old jungle]

12 days of Christmas?

[worn oar]

Gotta prepare myself for the big day

Idc, imma clear my schedule for at least two weeks

[granite mortar]

You know
"On the first day of christmas.. blah blah ... 12 something"
"Second day.. blah blah 11 something"
...
"12th day... 1 thing"
But each day you also repeat all the stuff from previous days

[old jungle]

I never heard about this

[granite mortar]

Starts like this
*On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree*

You will make a video

Heyy, sorry but one question, Is there somewhere in Germany where you can still pre-order the ultimate PC physical version?

[rotund widget]

If you, guys, looked carefully through this article, you may have noticed that the author decided to avoid mentioning the exact spot where Squint is hiding, but provided a little hint about the details in the surroundings of that place whilst describing his thought process on the possible cause of Squint's death — funnily enough, this vid right here #📸┃screens_and_videos message helps us in determining the exact spot & I'm sure y'all are very familiar with this place by now 😏

[wraith socket]

You should see the original swamp in Lost Alpha. It is west of Dead City. Doc has a house there.

[worn oar]

Oh, Tejas is here

Today is a big day brother

New footage and plenty of reviews are up

Stalker 2 is getting the coverage it deserves, finally

[wraith socket]

I've never even heard of Goldsphere, until I came here. I thought you all were making some type of Grok joke.

[worn oar]

You got into the gorkism phase I see

[wraith socket]

If only people would take the time to go back a few hours here and see that same questioned asked 20 times already today. Sigh.

[hidden jasper]

then mark the message for me?

[worn oar]

As far as ik, no!

Atm

That may or may not change

Who knows?

[hidden jasper]

Thx for your help bro💪🏻🤝🏻

Or others

[wraith socket]

There is nothing new to tell you. You can't rely on sellers who are trying to sell preorders to something that doesn't exist yet. How can they go out of stock for something that they don't have?

[hidden jasper]

It could be that someone German knows a game store that still sells it

[worn oar]

It's related to the goodies

That comes with the game

[rocky trellis]

there may not be a game yet, but all the other stuff is limited

[wraith socket]

There are disclaimers on most sellers that state that the physical edition will not sell until ALL items (goodies) are available. That means for example if there are 20 goodies and the backpack is not made yet, delayed or they are having problems with it, that action will delay the physical goodies being shipped. You will still get the game. Some sellers even state December 2024 as the soonest date for shipping the physical edition.

[frigid monolith]

I hope my 4070ti can run this game in 4k

[rocky trellis]

I hope my Ferrari can go 10km/h...

[frigid monolith]

bruh. Its UE5 after all ^^

[rocky trellis]

okay that is fair

[indigo marsh]

One of the peakest mods

[rocky trellis]

lil bit seems to be a bit unreliable in some ways, keep forgetting that

[wraith socket]

Do you have 4k monitor? If so, it should.

[rocky trellis]

worst case, lower res shouldn't look bad at all either. Well... might not look as great on a large screen

[wraith socket]

The world is so much better. So sad in 2007 people only having laptop trying to play SoC.

[rocky trellis]

Today people can play it on their fridges while taking forver to pick food

[wraith socket]

When I played SoC in 2007, my video card didn't even have a fan on it. Just big heatsink.

[worn oar]

[untold karma]

this page doesn't exist popped up when I looked for deluxe edition physical pre orders tab, I signed up back in January or something for one

I think I'd literally cease to exist if I can't get it

Plx happen :")

[rocky trellis]

Well that disappeared fast

[untold karma]

???

I saw something but idk what it was

[rocky trellis]

There was a message but it disappeared before I could even see a letter

[untold karma]

Ye lol

[untold karma]

Ayo? Cat enjoyer Duty faction and "experienced". Were like 2 of the same person

[rocky trellis]

lol

[wraith socket]

2007 screenshot on 19-inch CRT monitor. No one had widescreen back then.

[untold karma]

Damn auto correct

Anyways good night I will go to sleep dreaming of physical pre order

[naive fog]

Gn

[rocky trellis]

Keep that shotgun reloaded, else physical edition stealing grabby hands might reach for it from under the bed

[whole ether]

Hello! Will there be moment like on old games where enemies can surprise you, like jumpscare you for a moment before you take the gun to try to defend yourself?

[dire dagger]

my first gpu lives on with a friend in Venezuela but its a

1060 turbo

played many many hours of pubg in its day

[rocky trellis]

I'd imagine that is a nice thing to have there, you know... economy not exactly doing too great and stuff

[dire dagger]

post in ask gsc

[rocky trellis]

Don't think any of us are able to answer that

[dense hatch]

is the question "will NPCs ambush the player"

[dire dagger]

only gsc can answer but thats probably too specific so the answer is probably NDA

[dense hatch]

it'd be strange if they got rid of the one main noticeable gimmick for enemy AI

[wraith socket]

You can always rely on GSC to release any Stalker games with 'balance". That means it is going to be the best experience for most all players. It is up to Modders to create unbalance, so to speak.

[wraith socket]

yes, yes, every game.

[rocky trellis]

a contoller spawning behind you and saying "omae wa mou shindeiru" is always a nice surprise

[crisp ruin]

[dense hatch]

they should remove the controller melee attack again

and the god awful tinnitus sound effect

[lean quiver]

Guys hear me out hear me out

what if what if

the controller could control your controller

[rocky trellis]

[dense hatch]

like that one metal gear boss?

[lean quiver]

Yeah!!

[indigo marsh]

You are the controller then

[dense hatch]

what about people on mouse and keyboard

[lean quiver]

fuk em

[rocky trellis]

immune!

[indigo marsh]

They are better so they don't need to be controlled

[rocky trellis]

unless they add mouser and keyboarder into the game

[dense hatch]

it's a neat idea if he gives you a lot more sway on controller as penance for playing on controller

[wraith socket]

Anata no kichi wa subete watashitachi no monodesu.

[dense hatch]

Mauser stalker 2 when

[lean quiver]

Ur mom

[wraith socket]

She dead.

[dire dagger]

i just pray for more in depth weapon modifying

[lean quiver]

[rocky trellis]

What if... what if controller and pseudogiant were to be fused together?

That fight would be a headache...

[wraith socket]

Kinda what a Chimera is about.

[naive fog]

Controller riding chimera tho

[rocky trellis]

just unfortunate that Chimeras are quite mundane in the game

maybe they'll get more supernatural in stalker 2?

[indigo marsh]

Like in CoPe?

[dire dagger]

idk like lets say i could use a verity of different grips for example

[indigo marsh]

So like CoD or tarkov?

[dire dagger]

i guess

idk

i just find stuff like that fun

[nimble cipher]

lamphyris has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dense hatch]

it is fun

[lean quiver]

What is happening, i see a lot of stalker 2 content on Youtube all of a sudden
Also i hate this bot

[dire dagger]

youd love the old bot

if you got warned by it 15 times

it would automatically ban you

[lean quiver]

Derp

[dense hatch]

reviewers finally got the go ahead to release content I think

[wraith socket]

That's a good sign. Don't you think?

[lean quiver]

they should ping a everyone with media instead of announcing bread day ffs

[dense hatch]

I don't see how it could be a bad one

[worn oar]

Chymo would've been banned fr

😦

Wolf now is his bestie for a reason

[dire dagger]

people use to actually try not to break the rules lol

[lean quiver]

rules are for breaking em gang

[naive fog]

Watermelon and bread day peak

[sly matrix]

yeah but wolf's spam detection is iffy at the best of times, I've had him threaten me in DMs for perfectly normal messages

[dire dagger]

wolf can't threaten me

hes afraid of me

[worn oar]

Us

[sly matrix]

what ya'll got on wolf? blackmail?

[indigo marsh]

No they are besties. You don't need to blackmail people to be friends.
