[granite mortar]

._.

[untold silo]

I swear I've only met like 5 monolith fans who aren't newtards or don't play shitnomaly

[naive fog]

Honestly a good mod needs no addons. Why create one that's only good with em

[granite mortar]

Exactly

[naive fog]

OWA with some extra stuff would be awesome tho. I love how the hunting rifle is legit better than the Gauss lmao

[granite mortar]

They view addons as good thing
Like no...
It just shows that the game is shit and everything needs to be changed not to suck major ass

[granite mortar]

OWA 2.0 is gonna be so peak

It will be standalone too

[naive fog]

Oh hell it's coming out? Imma have to look into it

I'm not sure how to feel about Gauss rifle built for fire rate tho

[granite mortar]

Not yet
First 1.5.3 update
2.0 later on

But I briefly spoke with Choco and man
Finally
After 4 shit mods in the line
Theres a good one

The mod of a mod of a mod finally doesnt end with yet another slop

[naive fog]

Why does anomaly even need updates when nobody plays base anomaly....

[granite mortar]

No idea

More inportantly
Why do the problems never fix any of the issues

Like the shit quests, empty maps, boring gameplay, item bloat, mismatched icons, shit story, low variety of enemies (seriously half of the mutants in the files arent even used in the game), lack of alife

[indigo marsh]

RTTN?

[untold silo]

You... will... not.. play... anomaly...

[granite mortar]

Thats different branch
But still
It has cool features and Im very biased because its the only CoM fork with actual story

Gameplay wise it shares all the problems of the other forks
But the story helps a lot

[naive fog]

Yeah no I haven't played base anomaly in like a year

Gamma a good half year

[timid mango]

I go to this site on my Xbox search engine?

[midnight oar]

xbox has search engine ????? Where .

[timid mango]

Microsoft edge. Go to my games and apps then to to apps and find the swirl thing, it should be called Microsoft edge or just edge

[midnight oar]

no that’s not the XBOX search engine that’s just Internet Explorer 2.0

[timid mango]

Oh my bad

Still, do I put it in there or ?

[finite dragon]

I wouldnt even say its that, I feel like its so popular becasue its free and youtubers love glazing it

[midnight oar]

big question why do you use microsoft edge

like Firefox and Google exist

[timid mango]

I don't, I only use it on my Xbox every 5 years or so.

[hazy helm]

create a mod.io account and connect it in the game youre modding, whatever you subscribe to should download in the game itself, threu mod.io

[timid mango]

Got it. Thanks.

[finite dragon]

and for anomaly specifically the installation is very easy

[hazy helm]

Anomaly modding trully is, the Apple users of the Stalker world

[timid mango]

I don't understand how this works, just through my email it downloads?

Email connected to Mod.io

[hazy helm]

make an account, log in thru a broswer and thru the game mod.io UI, subscribe to items in the browser, it should dwonload in the game mod.io ui

[ruby warren]

I have to restart my game every time I subscribe to a mod on xbox so if it's not downloading right away try that

@indigo marsh @celest blaze I need a volunteer

[indigo marsh]

Yeah sure

I will need to multi task tho

[dire dagger]

Can you click the mp3 file in stalker memes and see if it breaks the rules

I can’t play it I’m on mobile

i just got to pc

and idk what to make of it

is faker around

[indigo marsh]

It is just some kid with a song playing in the background and it definitely is something like nationalistic and it mentions ukraine and russia

It is in another language and that was what I got from it

[dire dagger]

mate in en off top said its something bad

so i canned em

[indigo marsh]

I saw

[indigo marsh]

But I mean it is considered off-topic in the memes channel

[dire dagger]

well im imaging its anti Ukraine propaganda or what ever

[indigo marsh]

I only know like maybe 2-3 words from what is said.

i know how to say thank you in good few languages but thats where my knowledge ends

Why are zombies so annoying to fight

If they're gonna be such bullet sponges, they should at least die with one headshot

[indigo marsh]

Because they can get up after almost dying and are incredibly tanky

In clear sky if you get a proper hit at the head of a zombie with a knife you can get a one shot kill.

Ah ok

[granite mortar]

The popular mods were always shit

Priboi, Lost Alpha, Misery, Call of Misery, Anomaly, Gamma...

Only exception is CoC which isnt shit
Just a bit boring

Nah 😆 🤣 gamma are amazing

wdym taking notes? all he said was that they played

gigantic leap, but well reading comprehension is sparse nowadays

shame, do you know a command that relays your position on map to a script?

its fine if you don't Im just looking thru the NLC7 scripts to find the artficat cooking
hopefully I can port it to OGSR

what if we take on mechanic from every stalker mod in the world and put it into one mod? big thoughts here

that would be cool

crazy to think bc I aint sucking Groks fat cock Im a gatekeeper

[hazy harness]

Wouldnt say they keep the game alive, Stalker fans are a dedicated and passionate bunch
They make it visible to different and wider audience

Little does everyone know its only a plot to funnel them all into playing Vanilla SoC

[midnight oar]

right i got this idea for a gamma competitor, it’s CoC right but it’s got like uhmmmmmm idek hot ladies and blackjack and something

@pseudo gazelle serious IF true

when you think about it hard enough all mods are Anomaly derivatives

They're not porn mags, it's yuri manga.

[hazy helm]

all mods have anomalies
surely, they are anomaly derivates

[spark summit]

Sorry to interrupt. Is there any Dutchies who still know some retailers that sell PHYSICAL editions of the game? Preferrably Collectors, but I'll settle for Limited if I have to.

[granite mortar]

All retailers are listed in #🖤┃s2-pre-order
Also to my knowledge Collectors edition is sold out globally
I would recommend buying whichever edition you can get your hands on

[spark summit]

Damn... you reckon the Collector's Edition will become available again sometime just before the releaste date or is Limited the best I can get?

[granite mortar]

Dont think so
Its been unavailable for months if not years at this point
The question is asked constantly but we still got no update
Not even GSC got an update from the manufacturer

[spark summit]

Hmpf :/

[granite mortar]

I got the 80€ edition recently and Im happy

[spark summit]

Knew I should've jumped on it sooner.

[empty gorge]

bro there is like no info on the physical editions either?

got my pre order done ages ago but the company i ordered from isnt listed on that pre order channel and they dont even sell physical standard edition anymore

[granite mortar]

Maybe the company got renamed

The list is pretty old after all

[spark summit]

Yeah, the list is pretty old.

Welp, I pre-ordered the Limited Edition from a store that still stated they had some in The Netherlands. Good ol' MediaMarkt.

Because I'm also guessing #🖤┃s2-pre-order message this no-longer applies for the Collector's Edition or Ultimate Editions.

[empty gorge]

for sure, one of them in netherlands went bankrupt too lol

28 days brrr

[spark summit]

Yeah, Game Mania did... 😔

We truly lost a legend in Gaming Merchandise.

And Bol hasn't had anything besides Standard edition since forever that link has been up.

I also want to stab myself in the foot because for the longest time, I couldn't find a receipt for my XBOX controller that needs desperate stick-drift fixing... only to find an old order conformation on my old MediaMarkt account

[empty gorge]

i'll never forget those call of duty midnight releases

[empty gorge]

see this is whats gotten me worried, we got some major retailers over here and none have solid info on the physicals

i know some still take orders, others says unavailable and some like mine got ordered but now it says "keep me updated out of stock"

[spark summit]

There is a website called "Coolshop.nl" which I don't trust at all... I asked them if they sold the PHYSICAL editions of the Collector's Edition they have listed on their website (stupid question, but I wanted to see their response)... and they said I ordered the "stalker" edition instead of the "physical" edition, so I cancelled it before I re-ordered the one at MediaMarkt.

[storm kernel]

some places in UK have orders available, none in US however

tbh if they still aren't available within a week of release I might just preorder the game on GOG or something

[spark summit]

IF they become available again within a week of release, there will be online Queue's from here to Alpha Centauri.

[sour goblet]

by the way, can you somehow manage to run past strelok's hired stalkers then follow him into the tunnel? or is it scripted to collapse

[worn oar]

You can't

You are not supposed to catch up to him

He'll disappear and the tunnel will explode anyway

he's actually a really cool dude

he's been on youtube for like a decade

For some
It's some pseudo intelectual bullshit essay
For others brain rot
Ans others, twitch clips dumped on YouTube filled with dead air

[sour goblet]

no, he posts basically the entire thing with very little cuts

[hazy harness]

there's a sub-demographic of youtuber called "Built their empire by over reacting/screaming at EVERYTHING" and there's a demographic of youtube users who are annoyed beyond what any words can describe by them

besides just pointing strelok at the labs

do you mean the one in CoP?

Wouldnt have happened with Monolith just saying

[dense hatch]

because they're all dead?

[hazy harness]

It's mentioned in SoC too

[dense hatch]

the faction is toast by CoP with only a handful of remaining converts

[sour goblet]

duty is just a military that acts as a weak medicine to the zone

its good enough to supress it to a point imo so they're doing something atleast

[dense hatch]

they aren't even pushing back the zone, freedom is doing that

duty just mostly stays in rostok while leaving half of it unclaimed

they were in rostok*

the true Rostok experience

isnt freedom's goal to like

keep it the same

freedom's goal is to make the zone available to anyone and to spread the wonders of the zone

which they seem to be doing an ok job of considering the constant influx of people into the zone

Come for the weed, stay because they won't let you out

wasnt freedom the one with the sniper mechanic

or was that guy in a different faction

i have goldfish memory

They might be good at fighting Monolith but they are kinda dogshit with mutants

And even so they are barely holding on

[dense hatch]

they're still holding on though

duty meanwhile is only protecting the entrances to rostok

which is already a stalker hub

freedom doesn't get as many people coming in yet they're still doing more

[indigo marsh]

They also operate at Yantar to protect the scientist

[dense hatch]

not in SoC

[indigo marsh]

Yeah in SoC

[dense hatch]

and I'm fairly sure in clear sky they only move in once the emitter is retuned

[dense hatch]

there's nobody outside the bunker except zombies when the player gets there

once most of the danger has passed is when they move in

[toxic spade]

I take it back when i said clear sky is easier than SoC, everything from red forest and further is brutal

[indigo marsh]

I mean zombies still spawn after the mm is turned off in game

[sour goblet]

red forest and yantar piss me off

early yantar zombie waves make me wanna rip my head off and beat the zombified with it

[toxic spade]

Yeah after i reached the duty outpost i went backto garbage and cordon to get some better stuff, i had to reload so many times to kill the giant mutant before everyone got killed

The one in the forest where you have to protect the stalkers

Im at cordon right now to make some money because i just got a vss and my armor is not the best

[sour goblet]

pseudogiant my hated

[toxic spade]

Yeah he was so easy in SoC, when i met the one in the red forest in CS i got destroyed

[dense hatch]

that's just a game thing that doesn't really make sense

[toxic spade]

I was very close to abandon CS and start CoP but i want to finish everything cause im in love with those games rn

[hazy harness]

I think I was 12 when I played my first stalker games and I could not be pried from the computer lmao
they have a way of sucking you in

[toxic spade]

Im happy for everyone who gets Stalker 2 soon but unfortunately im on ps5

[hazy harness]

I hope you'll get a chance to play it too

[toxic spade]

Yeah i watched so many videos back then when the original games came out and always wanted to play it, for some reason i never did, but got the trilogy last week on ps5 and man i was missing out all those years

[hazy harness]

Glad you get to experience them first hand
ennjoy the trip

[toxic spade]

I hope the 3month exclusivity rumor is true and ps5 gets it too someday

[hazy harness]

Where did you hear that rumor ?

[toxic spade]

Thanks man i really do

[toxic spade]

I looked it up on google and there were many articles talking about it recently

Like some contract leaked or something

[hazy harness]

hmm
I wouldnt get my hopes up, but I'm all for more people being able to experience the game

[toxic spade]

Yeah thats why i said i hope its true, it was not really convincing for me but man i dont want to miss out

[hazy harness]

1st time of my life preordering a game
cant believe Stalker 2 finally gets to be a thing

[rocky trellis]

doesn't really look like it's coming any time soon. Last time it was asked: #📜┃gsc-answers message

[toxic spade]

Yeah i definetly would do that too, good that i still have the rest of CS to play and all of CoP

[dense hatch]

all it took was over a decade and a cancellation

glad it's actually coming out

[toxic spade]

Oh damn, but maybe, just maybe they have to say that😭

[hazy harness]

At least they're not likely to pull a Duke Nukem

[dense hatch]

they actually had people play the game before release

[rocky trellis]

Well... they don't exactly have to. It's complicated, but apparently Xbox/MS wasn't the one to suggest making it exclusive

[toxic spade]

If it really never comes for ps5 i rent a xbox or something lol

[rocky trellis]

Found it strange that Xbox would make a game exclusive when they've started releasing everything on PS5 too

[toxic spade]

Yeah thats what i thought too

Maybe i have to use a streaming platform or something on my laptop if we never get it

[rocky trellis]

as long as internet connection is good enough, should be doable

[toxic spade]

Playstations remote play works pretty well when i want to play in bed on my laptop so should be no problem woth another streaming platform

But playing native would be better

[willow gull]

I CAN NOT WAIT

[sour goblet]

he can not wait

[toxic spade]

Maybe its time to get a cheap used xsx, its not like there are many more games i want😂😅

[rocky trellis]

I cannot wait either. I cannot be contained

[hazy harness]

I cant wait to get that ZONE BREAD AGAIN

[toxic spade]

But finally getting a good pc would probably be better tho more expensive

I could even use my psvr2 on it

[fierce flower]

Since the game has eating animations now doez that mean when i spam eat bread ima just go all caveman to eat.

[hazy harness]

Yes

[toxic spade]

Man i cant find any anti rad artifacts in CS i got so many artifacts but cant use them

[worthy lagoon]

These will be rarer to find compared to SoC

[toxic spade]

Yeah i figured that, i got a few really good ones already but only one +2 rad

Can i not find gravity artifacts with the veles? I read something online and just thought its the best one

[sour goblet]

im gonna send a nuclear warhead to my location

[finite dragon]

Weird, I found a majority of anti rad artifacts but not much to use them on

[toxic spade]

Also in clear sky? I really want to use my stamina artifacts, coming from SoC with basically infinite sprint to sprint for 5 seconds is so annoying

[finite dragon]

Yeah in cs

I found a bubble in yantar

[toxic spade]

Damn just got the jellyfish from the beginning

[finite dragon]

And 2 wrencheds

But I only used 2 wrencheds I found like 10 of those things😭

[toxic spade]

Is it true that Veles detector cant find those artifacts i read this in a comment

[finite dragon]

No

[toxic spade]

Alright thats good i thought its the best one so far

Man i have to go to yantar then and look for it

I want my stamina back

[finite dragon]

Veles detector is the best detector it can find all artifacts(besides the compass technically but nothing can get that)

[toxic spade]

Alright thanks

[indigo marsh]

It is the best one. Period.

Or full stop if you call it that

[toxic spade]

All right dont know why that guy said it then

[indigo marsh]

Confusion

Bc some mods/ game have a higher powered detector

[dense hatch]

not sure how a detector can be better in terms of functionality than a svarog

[gaunt burrow]

look for snowflake and shell artifacts

[hazy harness]

Bear is my favorite tbh
it beeps right

[gaunt burrow]

snowflake is more rare but still can be found if not at Yantar then at Army Warehouses

[dense hatch]

it's got a good balance between being fun to use and detecting a good range

[gaunt burrow]

you can find it in Yantar if you're lucky enough

[hazy harness]

and it beeps right

Are there mods that overhaul artifact hunting in a meaningful way ?

[dense hatch]

do you mean mods for the trilogy or mods in general

[toxic spade]

Yeah i got shell already but couldnt use it because of the rad, found a wrenched now

[granite mortar]

It gets the artifacts closer with a good old harpoon

[granite mortar]

Goldsphere

[sand fiber]

any mod with transmutation i guess

[hazy helm]

NLC and any mod with AMK derivative

[granite mortar]

Also OGSE but only for specific type of anomalies

[dense hatch]

did OGSE popularize the entire cut ammo belt thing or did some other mod do that first

[hazy helm]

nha that was smth else, earlier in mod history

[granite mortar]

Ogse doesnt even have that iirc

[dense hatch]

oh

[worn oar]

Snowflake

[last moth]

Bonjour 🥖🇫🇷🥐

[last moth]

[granite mortar]

Maybe the real monster are the french we made along the way

[last moth]

Hmmm... yes, probably

Btw, i bet 5 russian rubles that my suggestion's going to be removed

A G A I N

[dense hatch]

because it's not a real suggestion

also which ones have complained about the difficulty

[last moth]

There's a bunch of suggestions that aren't real suggestions, but they are still there.. :/

[dense hatch]

most of them are funny

[last moth]

Mine ain't?😭

[granite mortar]

None outright complained
But many stated that Stalker is very difficult when the games have always been easy and very easily cheesable

[dense hatch]

journalist bad at videogames joke wasn't funny when it was old

[dense hatch]

if you don't know how to cheese the games and aren't use to the gameplay the games are difficult besides CoP

[last moth]

Stalker is hard for newbies

[worthy lagoon]

Not really

[naive fog]

Yeah it's pretty easy, you just learn to aim for the head

[untold silo]

Aim... for the head...

[worthy lagoon]

Maybe stop making suggestions that aren't suggestions so i won't have to bother hitting delete message

[untold silo]

Just use trophy ak vro...
It shreds

[silk sparrow]

imagine complain about difficulty

[tepid ibex]

Just gotta hope that the UE wizards will find a way, to potatoify the game enough, for outdated bricks like my own to run the game

[worn oar]

That's what one says when he knows he made a bad suggestion

[hazy helm]

if your suggestion keeps being removed check if its in accordance to channel rules

we keep a close tie in suggestion when it comes to rules to keep quality of suggestions

[worn oar]

Check his if you wish

[hazy helm]

repeat suggestion bro

[worn oar]

[lilac wind]

stalker Soc
for some reason duty attack me and the speaker say they got invaded and to kill the intruder i kill red people now i am the duty enemy >_>
i can't find awnser on google

what you suposed todo ?

[normal quail]

@wraith socket please show me the slider

[naive fog]

Go back a save and stop shooting people in the Duty base

[lilac wind]

but i never shot anyone in the first place

[hazy helm]

not kill ppl in the 100rad bar

[lilac wind]

like the 4 gaurd are friendly then i go through the warehouse now message play and everyone is an enemy

[naive fog]

Did you walk into Duty Base without permission?

[lilac wind]

no i had a quest for them the rifle

[hazy helm]

you went past the duty checkpoint where duty soldiers tell you you cant enter

[lilac wind]

i am suposed to ask them everytime i need to enter ?

[hazy helm]

youre suposed to complete the quest hes given you before entering

[lilac wind]

i talked to the bar and he lead me to the duty guy base then i go do quest

i am suposed to have the right to enter

[hazy helm]

you are not

the checkpoint guys tell you you dont

[lilac wind]

even the guy in charge had a quest for me

[hazy helm]

look
bottomline is
unless you get the grenade launcher for the checkpoint soldier
you arent getting in

thats it

[lilac wind]

i reloaded an older save talked to everyone no one say i cant go in here

if that pre requise wasnt done why they dont attack me on sight if i enter the base ?

i did a few dozen time?

well i am talking why the f i am getting attack when i enter the bar area

and speaker playing intruder message everyone is red and if i kill the red now i am enemy #1

want em to record it?

i never talked about the duty base you did

i never said the bar though

alright i am recording

[lilac wind]

at the bar?

the anwser was wating it out

[wraith socket]

@normal quail You need to send me a friend request in order to receive files. I think I have an earlier version of the loot money.

[indigo marsh]

There was a merc in rostok for his save

[normal quail]

cotz feel good

[wraith socket]

Did you see my response?

[normal quail]

no

didnt get the ping

[wraith socket]

You need to send me a friend request in order to receive files. I think I have an earlier version of the loot money.

Your settings prevent me from sending one to you.

[normal quail]

didnt you mention a slider?

[wraith socket]

I don't know how to bring that up. What I can send you ( I think) are the changes to my game that will give you some extra content that no one else anywhere has.

I modified two artifacts to match their description and not be the weak versions designed for the games.

[normal quail]

oh details please

[wraith socket]

My Heart of Oasis and Compass artifacts do the magical things they are rumored to do and not the paltry, watered down versions in CoC and CotZ.

[normal quail]

what do they do in coctz?

i wish there were a wiki
i used wiki to know what weapons are reliable

[wraith socket]

If you don't want that, then it is no problem.

[normal quail]

speacially in soc because you knwo how accuracy is there

[normal quail]

What does it does in the paltred version?

[wraith socket]

Instead of having to swap around 6-8 artifacts on your suit do these thing. one action at a time, I altered these to do all those things with one artifact.

Original version: I don't think it heals anything. Just gives you hunger elimination.

[normal quail]

Sounds pretty bad
Upload it as a mod

True compass and oasis effects

[worn oar]

Loot money script should work with Any CoC based mod

It is possible to modify it too

[normal quail]

send me the lootmoney file to play the same as you
im liking it
but everyhting is too far and theres a chopper harassing me

[worn oar]

(Adjusting amount looted)

[wraith socket]

The individual artifacts with these properties are maxed at 8. I raised it to 10 and combined all those artifact properties in one artifact the Compass. Again this is so I don't have to carry 10-15 different artifacts to swap around and get the near same results.

This is my third game of CotZ. These are QoL upgrades to artifacts.

[worn oar]

All absorbation values set to 0.9 ?

[normal quail]

but you should upload it as a mod very useful

[wraith socket]

It was absolutely crazy adjusting these. Not all numbers equaled 10. I had to keep tweaking and tweaking the numbers to get all of them to align to 10. It was really, really hard work.

[worn oar]

The only ones that are different are artifact sub stats like stamina, etc... . Those needs to be like 0.0000(number)

[wraith socket]

I may eventually. Just been selfish I guess playing my own game.

[worn oar]

I think 3 zeros are 2 digits

[wraith socket]

I don't even remember how to do that again. I am not a big modder at heart. I am a Player who pays attention to everything I see.

[worn oar]

I do I still got it in me ig. Been a while since I left modding, but came back for like few days and seems like I still can remember stuff

Sadly, can't find time to modd anymore

[lilac wind]

hek i just got a third moonlight

i though i already looted all the moonlight from agrokom already

[dim topaz]

This goes incredibly hard. I love the brain schorcher's manmade lovecraftian horror vibes

[normal quail]

do helicopters respawn in cotz?

i want to know if wasting my bullets on them is worth

[quaint lark]

But who was the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chornobyl all along??

oooooh wait, so that's why he has the tattoo..

[sour goblet]

skibidi toilet mod stalker

[pale pivot]

[zealous rock]

I'm really sad. Thought the new stalker will be also available for playstation 5

[pale pivot]

It might be a timed exclusive

There was an IGN article saying it’ll be a 3 month exclusive but the article was published in 2021 so things might’ve changed

[static compass]

Someone asked Mol1t in ask gsc and he said it was just Xbox and PC

Could come to PS5 eventually, but I dunno

[topaz thistle]

Dude I am struggling to find out where you can buy that new stalker 2 keyboard and mouse from MSI, anyone got any clue?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[hazy harness]

I think they're just not available yet. Gotta ask MSI, but maybe they'll release them alongside the game

[topaz thistle]

rip, was hoping to get them for preorder

[hazy harness]

Me too 😞

[pale pivot]

Thanks lil bro

perhaps it will be a merry zonemas after all

[young schooner]

Is Stalker 2 finally coming out next month?

[crisp ruin]

Good morning boiz

[rocky trellis]

The game will be delayed, but then another delay delays the delay and the game releases on time

[faint vector]

They better come out with the delay now then. I swear if they delay it like 5 days before imma riot

[rocky trellis]

they've assured multiple times recently that the game is coming on time

[faint vector]

Would really not be great for sales given their partnerships as well

[dim topaz]

Stalker 2 has been stuck in a space time anomaly, and it's just now finally leaving it

[sour goblet]

[naive moth]

what's so good about gog?

[onyx raven]

It has DRM-free copies of games, you can download an offline installer, keep it forever, and install the game whenever you want

Say, if Steam suddenly disappeared, you wouldn't be able to install your games anymore. With GOG, you can download the installers for your purchased games and even if GOG disappears, they will still work

[naive moth]

mhh

[onyx raven]

Otherwise, it has a launcher similar to Steam that keeps your games updated automatically, you don't need to download offline installers all the time

[hazy harness]

Pretty neat

I'm guessing physical preorders are steam key by default ?

[sacred bay]

Some Research:

Overlaying all the shown maps on each other and on the overall map, the map actually corresponds to the stated 65 sq km in area. However, not all of these squares are fully playable space – some are outside the map, the actual playable area will be 35-40 square kilometers. Part of it is also blocked off by DLC. So formally, the map, as promised some years ago, is 64 square kilometers, but you can run around a much smaller territory, especially in the standard edition of the game.

[sour goblet]

yeah mostly because if it was all there the game would have like 20 more gigs

[polar orchid]

i did it boys. i pre-ordered heart of chornobyl. digital ultimate edition.

its now in my games list keeping me warm at night

[onyx raven]

I pre-ordered in Steam AND a physical limited edition. Hope I'm not going to get burned on my hype :3

[polar orchid]

i got an avatar, profile bg and animated avatar border

[onyx raven]

Oh wow I thought it would be at launch

Just checked, also got them

[rocky trellis]

For some reason it took me a long while to receive those after pre ordering. Like almost a month lol

they do look amazing tho

[onyx raven]

They probably weren't ready then

[polar orchid]

game is number 3 in wishlists, but only number 113 in top sellers

cant believe i was trying to do the maths on how many days til release, while steam charts has that info on the page

hope it sells millions of copies

[nova knot]

So we're only a month away from release. When will the physical collector's edition be available for pre-purchase ?

[silk sparrow]

game was on pre-order for 2 years

they already sold millions of copies

[polar orchid]

how?

[hazy harness]

Many are prolly waiting for launch to buy because pre orderd have left them unsatisfied or disappointed

[silk sparrow]

it was top seller for long time

[hazy harness]

Or they dont do preorders, which is a very reasonable take

[polar orchid]

i was waiting to make sure it doesnt delay again. but 28 days to release, i hope its on track this time

[silk sparrow]

stalker2 will be on gamepass day 1

[polar orchid]

i was gonna play it on gamepass but i dont hate GSC i want to support them

[dim topaz]

You see, they were following in the footsteps of the original stalker in more ways than one

[nimble cipher]

zayek7274 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hazy harness]

Oh come on e_e

[nimble cipher]

blaize00 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[polar orchid]

why everyone saying bad words

tsk tsk

[dim topaz]

Eastern european lineage, can't help it

[polar orchid]

only 21 days til pre-install

but whos counting eh

not me like every other day

[dim topaz]

Stalker release coincides with my search for a new job. The days are flying by let me tell you

[sacred bay]

we dont know when we can pre-install the game, even can we

[hazy harness]

Release day coincides with me telling my boss how I can absolutely not be at work that day nor the next, for objectively essential reasons, honest

They'll understand

[silk sparrow]

its not live-service game. no need for pre-install

[polar orchid]

a mod on here told me we could

about a week from release

[polar orchid]

its 150 gigs

[silk sparrow]

week before release to have pre-install is not possible

all dataminers will swim in this

[dim topaz]

I want to play the nanosecond it becomes available brother

[silk sparrow]

no one cares what you want

[polar orchid]

if there is no pre-install then i wont be able to play on release day

[dim topaz]

Except for all the other games that allow pre install i guess

[silk sparrow]

a week before launch?

[polar orchid]

maybe

[silk sparrow]

no

[polar orchid]

could be 3 days or 5 or 7

[silk sparrow]

if you get pre-install it will be max a day, more likely 2-3hrs before official launch

[loud gate]

There is absolutely a good reason for pre-install. It's huge game.

[dim topaz]

Even 3 days ia completely fine imo

[polar orchid]

i need at least 2 days to download it

[silk sparrow]

not a week

[dim topaz]

How about the growing stalker community in uganda with 30kbps download

[loud gate]

One day

[dim topaz]

Don't you think of them?

[silk sparrow]

they will get s2, while we play s3

[loud gate]

Or two days.

[silk sparrow]

i can agree on 1 day.

[polar orchid]

if this then ill be looking at my 62% download on launch day and dying inside

[sour goblet]

yep im gonna need to need a large upgrade to play s2 💧

[silk sparrow]

what is your internet? 5mbps?

[polar orchid]

when its going fast yeah

[dim topaz]

Is this with the pc turned on overnight?

[hazy helm]

you should be able to preload a game a week before release

[polar orchid]

i aint tryna start a fire bruh

[silk sparrow]

i woudnt be surprised if game will be delayed for 5hrs

[crisp ruin]

I'm using 50mbps internet

[hazy helm]

it takes me 2 days to download a 150 archive, and I assume GSC will compress the game bc, well, they are eastern company

[silk sparrow]

it is official GSC statement or just common practice?

[sour goblet]

i get like 50 kbps for a 250 mb download

[hazy helm]

common practice for preloads

[dim topaz]

Put the pc in bedroom, then cut the radiator since you'll be getting adequate heating

[crisp ruin]

btw I feel like if I talked here someone gonna post Richter pic

[silk sparrow]

idk, i had to dl cod 200gb. only few days pre-load

[sour goblet]

somebody post richter pic now

[crisp ruin]

[polar orchid]

blops 6?

[silk sparrow]

never had a game there they allow you pre-download a game 1 week before launch

[crisp ruin]

I swear to god, devs gonna add that Richter had gf nicknamed "Sparrowhawk"

[sour goblet]

it took me like 6 hours to download csgo

[silk sparrow]

game 3gb, skins 45gb

[dim topaz]

Some damn nice skins tho

[sour goblet]

needless to say, im gonna need an upgrade before getting stalker 2

[silk sparrow]

mw2

[opaque vortex]

Hey mozi did you say last week you are posting a trailer of the new preview footage tomorrow?

[silk sparrow]

i quit cod in mw2 season3, they introduced rats and rabbits. i quit

[dim topaz]

Why would a 20 year old game take up 200gb

[polar orchid]

they made a cash grab, i mean, remake of it

[silk sparrow]

i hate how they do promo for cod. show all cool military sim skins there looks awesone and you get niki minaj with snoopdogg lobbies

[loud gate]

Yes

[dim topaz]

Ye, I know, just doing a funny. Honestly I quit cod after the halfway point in the original mw3

[polar orchid]

cod died after blops 3 for me. zombies peaked in that game then they destroyed it. i only played cod for zombies

[silk sparrow]

unseen stuff? 👀

[polar orchid]

blops 6 zombies is more trash

[silk sparrow]

i dont believe in cod anymore

mw3 was insane trash

[polar orchid]

blops 1, 2 and 3 zombies was so good

[dim topaz]

Only zombies i played was WaW lmao

[silk sparrow]

i played bo6 beta... people are flying, not running anymore

[polar orchid]

you never lived

[loud gate]

Possibly, I guess.

[opaque vortex]

Exciting🔥

[dim topaz]

Idk games like KF felt way more engaging than cod zombies

Can't wait to be disappointed in KF3

[loud gate]

I've been uploading a lot of short clean footage clips, so, it is possible you might have watched it from me, or a repost.

[polar orchid]

KF?

[dim topaz]

Killing floor

[silk sparrow]

New guy gloomy?

[loud gate]

So I think there may be some stuff you haven't seen yet, but I'm very sure there is certainly new stuff you haven't heard.. yet.

[polar orchid]

never played it. i just loved the cod zombies game loop. was a great party game.

couch co-op

[silk sparrow]

i saw stalker2 partnered with sega. what sega does nowadays?

[polar orchid]

but after 3 they turned it into a grind stats and upgrades game, no longer a quick pick up and play, its now an investment and it sucks

[dim topaz]

It's not couch coop but super fun with friends. Horde shooter like cod zambles but way more depth and content

[polar orchid]

will look into it

[lean quiver]

oh yeah what does sega does these days

[polar orchid]

why do you think kf 3 will be dissapointment?

[dim topaz]

Publish overpriced Warhammer Total War DLCs

[loud gate]

SEGA helps with publishing in Japan of S2

[silk sparrow]

oh, yea. also they releassed metaphor

[hazy helm]

have you looked at the game? literally a case of, we see new trends, and we will follow them despite making shit games

just cram every overpopulated trend to try and meet potential expectations

[dim topaz]

Afaik they are shuffling some enemies ane classes around in a way I find questionable, plus no mention of the gore system that made KF2 so satisfying to play. Probably because PhysX is dead in the water, but still.

[hazy helm]

god I hate tripwire

[silk sparrow]

anyone played chernobilite? they making chernobilite 2

which looks bad

[dim topaz]

I'm waiting for Survarium 2

[polar orchid]

the first one was pretty bad

i bought it and regretted it

[dim topaz]

Chernoblyat

[silk sparrow]

i played, its interesting

[lean quiver]

Cherno 1 was decent, i just think of it like a indie game with very good graphics

[polar orchid]

it started off strong, approaching the power stationa nd going inside... then it nosedived

maps were to small, was too repetitive

[broken latch]

Lawsuits

[lean quiver]

I'm forever pissed that the reward for helping that scavenging locksmith was just a better flashlight

[hazy helm]

Cherno is literally just Fallout 4 Settlement Management with an Edgy Story and Annoying Characters blasting your ear

what were you expecting

[silk sparrow]

black stalker edge lord

[dim topaz]

Oh yeah I remember now. I closed it off my mind for good reason. They are making classes tied to your character like some shtty hero shooter. They look at the new Battlefield and went "what can we add to our game from this. Oh I know, the most universally hated class system. Perfect 💩 "

[lean quiver]

Igyor now you will be wormfoooooooooooooooood

[hazy harness]

Spend almost ten years stuck between 0.6 and 1.2 mbps, I feel your pain

[crisp ruin]

wtf is that question @worn oar

Devs didn't answered my Richter's age question 😔

[dim topaz]

Dw he's legal

[crisp ruin]

I wanna know how old he is

[dim topaz]

Oh...

[crisp ruin]

kinda he looks like average 25-26 years old with depression

[rocky trellis]

"They won't be looted =)" Are you sure about that?

[crisp ruin]

just like me

[rocky trellis]

My bandit senses are tingling... I can smell another quest to retrieve stolen stuff coming

[dim topaz]

Is he your "literally me character" ?

[crisp ruin]

yes

after asking too much of Richter question to devs, gonna ended up being in-game lore, where he "had" GF nicknamed "Sparrowhawk"

Where she asked too much of his life and ended up being separated

we need to remember

Tripwire made KF2

of course KF3 was gonna suck

they have impostor syndrome

[hazy helm]

weirdo

[sour goblet]

Richter's age is Richter

[lean quiver]

Weirdo Weirdo Weirdo

[dim topaz]

KF2 was good tho. (Eventually)

[hazy helm]

KF2 was good, and it got worse
is shit now

[dim topaz]

I don't like their skin stuff and events and whatnot, but compared to launch it's still in a better state

Some of the new bosses were ... Yikes

[hazy helm]

its best state was at closed beta, launch was worse but still good
each update has continuously diminnishing its core ideals into a primordial goop of generic slaughter zombie game

its raelly bad

[dire nimbus]

is this normal my anomaly folder looks soo weird??

bruh theres a bug where i cant copy screenshot

[dense hatch]

it looks like it plays fine

what's the problem

[hazy helm]

Tripwire has impostor syndrome where they think they have sinned with past games, and set to correct them, without knowing ppl love their past games and hate the new inventions

[dense hatch]

is most of the content dlc like payday 2

[dire nimbus]

my anomaly folder is trurned upside down

[dense hatch]

what is the issue

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/roodmuch-pointing-you-gif-22956598

[dire nimbus]

it start with fsgame

[dense hatch]

you just changed the order it was sorted

[dire nimbus]

i think it was 7z

[hazy helm]

it has degenerated into a slop CoD Zombies like missing the enssential teamplay and balancing that the original excelled at, as well as having a completely ass backwards visual identity

[dire nimbus]

wait i restart my pc

[hazy helm]

fun fact, the enshitiffication of KF2 was a process not a release thing

[dense hatch]

the original was shit to play like a week ago

I don't see the appeal

[hazy helm]

I still regularly play KF1 alone and with friends, its great and the fact that Tripwire spurns it as a amateur attempt tells me all I need to know about their designers

[dense hatch]

or they just don't enjoy the simplistic weapon and maps that kf1 has and are attempting to move away from it

because nothing about kf1 is particularly interesting

[hazy helm]

KF1 had maps that were way more interesting dont know what you're talking about
plus the tell for KF1 is the teamwork and teamplay with classes, as well as weapon feel
which KF2 has spurned in search for solo play

[worn oar]

[dense hatch]

I'm sure surprised by OFFICES

or WEST LONDON

manor has some caves I guess

[hazy helm]

you speak as tho KF1 didnt have other maps like Biotics Lab or Farm or Bedlam or Wyre Forest or Foundry or Waterworks

etc

[dense hatch]

biotics farm is lame as hell it's just a bunch of corridors

also aren't the rest of those community made maps

[hazy helm]

waterworks is, the rest no

[dire nimbus]

lol it was because i named my folder EFP

[dense hatch]

oh good 2/8

[hazy helm]

you could play Evil Santa Lair or Ice Cave or Moon Base or Transit or Sirens Beach etc etc

all made by tripwire

there sure as shit is more variety than london and offices when theres even a hillbilly map

[dense hatch]

these are event maps

what is wrong with you

[hazy helm]

you cant play event maps out of season? wtf are you talking about

KF2 is worse in gameplay, visual identity and maps, and it got worse, it didnt came out wrong
I feel like the original designers were pushed out and these new designers play COD Zombies, and come into KF with that mentality

not helped by the fact that Tripwire is more interested in injecting new trends ion everything

[celest aspen]

Hello all, i have a question pls, when the physical version will be available to preorder ? (From france) thx all

[storm kernel]

london is lowkey one of the least interesting settings for a video game, even though it shouldn't be.

[storm kernel]

Never.

[worn oar]

It might or might not happen. Some shops still have the standard one, but not higher. Restocks are retailer responsibility with the manufacturer, so GSC has nothing to do with it.

They are trying to see this problem through, but nobody can promise anything.

You still should keep an eye on your mailbox or announcement channel in case something changed.

[celest aspen]

They cancel my 2022 preorder on amazon of the physical version ultimate pc...

Okay thx u

[worn oar]

It was Amazon's fault

Did you contact them?

[celest aspen]

No, i just receive the cancel

[gaunt crypt]

Hey @glossy blade Stalker 2 on the Poznan Game Arena 2024 confirm?

any informations about this?

[dense hatch]

[loud gate]

They will not attend Poznan this year.

Nor Paris*

[long blaze]

Amazon has updated the picture of the Out of Stock Ultimate Edition. Stock impending maybe?

[storm kernel]

you guys have an Amazon listing for stalker 2?

[long blaze]

Yea, in UK and GER

[storm kernel]

neither of those exchange rates are very friendly to USD lol. Also shipping will be crazy expensive. I looked at Germany's page and they also asked me for an ID and nah that just plain aint gonna happen 😭

I dont want Amazon to have a picture of my passport/ID

[celest blaze]

Fr only gov things should see that info it's to risky to have buisness have records of it

[spare fossil]

It’s disappointing that, despite being closer to a neighboring country, they choose to promote production in Asia instead of in Poland, especially considering that there are only 27 days left until the release. They were at PGA only once in 2023 and were very warmly received, but it seems they were likely forced to do so by Xbox. 😦

well unless the game comes out a month later than expected 🙂

[fleet glacier]

Less than a Month left Stalkers.

[marsh dome]

I'm surprised, S2 has an Instagram account

It's well made too

[sour goblet]

skibidi dibidi

[sour goblet]

i just think they want a wider audience, plus you know how populated asia is, surely itll bring a few players

[spare fossil]

Hehe the same tactic was chosen by Mundfish creators atomic heart

[gaunt burrow]

hi guys

[spare fossil]

wilkommen

[indigo marsh]

Hello mattpat

https://tenor.com/view/pat-pat-gif-24957682

[celest goblet]

The proximity may be why, since it is the most critical hour for finishing the game

[worn oar]

Brotherman!!!!

[gaunt burrow]

what's up?

[hazy turtle]

hi

[hazy turtle]

playing and checking if i have some work to do

[patent mortar]

How do I get out from prison with doc?

[spare fossil]

meh

[celest goblet]

New interview with some GSC developers on the implementation of UE5 features in the game https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/developer-interviews/balancing-nostalgia-with-innovation-in-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl

[spare fossil]

big meh

[patent mortar]

How do I get out from prison in Dead City? I'm locked up with Doc.

I'm playing SoC with some QoL add-ons

[celest goblet]

Well. Dead City is not in SoC

[patent mortar]

darn

I'm playing Shadow's Add-on 0.8.9

[hazy helm]

these are not QOL addons

this is Shadows isnt it

its a total conversion pack

https://tenor.com/view/big-floppa-for-bk-gif-25780630

[patent mortar]

uh right

ok fair enough

[patent mortar]

what should I do?

[hazy helm]

I dunno, I never played it, I remember playing smth else with the same sequence, all I did was wait for the Military to come in

[storm kernel]

I don't trust ANYONE on the internet to have access to pictures of government ID. Too risky that there will be a hack and then my ID will be just floating around online

[celest blaze]

Good you shouldn't imo

[hot tree]

is the preorder showing Sidorovich instead of the "we are still sorting..." only to me or is that to everyone now >.>

[earnest bear]

I hope they save on the TAA

[earnest bear]

Indeed and then there is the eu who wants Id checks on adult sites something with hub in the Name

At that point I would rather give a paper Copy of my id to drug dealers

[thin copper]

Hello guys what is the difference Pre-Purchase S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Pre-Purchase S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Deluxe Edition
Pre-Purchase S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Ultimate Edition

[rare juniper]

The fact that someone blew up Chernobyl reactor and made Okraine way before the game release shows that it truly has one of the most devoted fanbase ever.

[hazy helm]

I hope they dont have it at all

[earnest bear]

That would be to good to be true sadly.
are there any Modern games without TAA?

[rare juniper]

Fortnite

[celest goblet]

They are definitely using it. You can see some of the classic TAA artifacting in some of the trailers

[storm kernel]

whoever invented TAA needs to be tried for war crimes.

[sour goblet]

i added taa to stalker 2 on accident sorry guys

[onyx raven]

It definitely has TAA. It's basically impossible to find a game without TAA nowadays, the only difference is the implementation, some look better than others

Unreal uses TAA extensively, if Stalker 2 has some other form of AA it will be a technical marvel

[sour goblet]

xray engine but its chinese

[hazy helm]

I mean its obvious due to the ammount of visual tech that forces the use of TAA right from the bat
doesnt make me happy

[onyx raven]

All things considered, Stalker looks pretty clean compared to something like Black Myth

[blissful peak]

so excited to play the game less than a month left. just hope no setbacks come at the last moment....

[pearl jacinth]

hello zonegoers

[valid thicket]

When does S2 come out again? the 5th?
