And the only ones you can join are freedom, duty, loners, bandits, and clear sky

[dire dagger]

In cop you can technically Join a faction

But its more so you help either duty or freedom

[indigo marsh]

SoC you can join freedom through a bug

I honestly forgot about that

[sour goblet]

what the hell do i do if an emission starts while im fighting monolith

do i just have to speedrun killing monolith and hope col kovalsky gets there in time

[fathom wren]

Stalker 2 and LOTZ: No russian language

Stalker Nintendo: No ukrainian. Russian language included

[glossy wave]

I see a railgun shooting in the train yard on my way back to the barkeep

[fathom wren]

Holy kek

[glossy wave]

I want it

[granite mortar]

Nintendo always gets the good shit smh

[turbid crag]

What is wrong with game legends?
They deliver the physical editions later?

[glossy wave]

Wait no that’s a deadly anomaly

[fathom wren]

Nintendo is Ruzzian shill vatnik putler bot 20 ruble nazi onuca troll

[fluid abyss]

Huh? Don’t scare me like that

[worthy lagoon]

You will get the CD key of the game (PC Steam) via mail

You will still be able to play the game

[turbid crag]

But the physical stuff come later?

[worthy lagoon]

Yes

It might come after the release

[turbid crag]

I dont pre order at game legends, Does this affect all retailers or just game legends?

[glossy wave]

Ooh I have options. VLA, GP 37, SGI

[sonic flax]

what no Orc VOs in Stalker 2 does to a mf

[glossy wave]

I’ll need to find a scope but which one is better

[fathom wren]

Orcs!!

Is all orcs!!!

[sonic flax]

This but unironically

[last moth]

Now I have a pp19 bizon that I want to sell.. ughh

I hate my life

[sonic flax]

Also when more Stalker 2 news. Only 2 and a half weeks left.

[balmy hound]

On time ! I guess we'll get a release trailer in the next weeks.

[lime gull]

hide!

[sour goblet]

what if stalker was based in industrial revolution london

[lime gull]

It would be called 'sneaker' or 'Scrambler' or something

[sonic flax]

I am expecting release embargos to drop one week before plus final info drop and system requirements + launch trailer next week

[stuck pewter]

The military would be a far more competent faction

[sour goblet]

true

[silk sparrow]

fan movie is good?

[old jungle]

according to the critics, no

[glossy wave]

Naturally after exploring the train yard again I get 2 sgi’s for free

[gusty laurel]

i think its nice tbh

people do criticize it for being tacticool

[glossy wave]

An armored suit and an exoskeleton

[gusty laurel]

which is not something i care about that much personally

[silk sparrow]

i will watch at some point

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/grab-mole-catch-dig-gif-26751395

[glossy wave]

What’s it gonna be like in Stalker 2?

[lime gull]

Well considering the Ward exists now... I'm really not sure.

I think the military just protects the barrier into the zone itself now, and the Ward is the new gestapo for Sircaa.

[finite dragon]

[lime gull]

I know they also retconned the military, it's not just the UKR military anymore, it is and always has been some special branch of the UKR military that deals with border protection.

There's some new faction badge shown off in a couple trailers that replaces the UKR military badges from the previous games. It's specifically in a cutscene from Stridor's pov.

[finite dragon]

Yeah, International Perimeter Security Force (IPSF). Previously there was the PSF, non-international, mentioned in the 2021 ARG.

Around 2013 it was not yet international

[sour goblet]

why are all the best stalker videos made like more than a year ago?

[finite dragon]

Because the golden days of 2012-2019 are over

[sour goblet]

nobody is even making playthroughs anymore 😢 (atleast i think)

[normal bobcat]

sintendo nwitch

[lime gull]

WDYM? I look at enough Stalker content that my recommendations are always jam packed with random youtubers' new Stalker playthroughs w/ like 4-19 views.

Unless your talking about the original trilogy unmodded but those games have been out for so long people are probably not interested in playing them all over again w/o mods.

[sour goblet]

huh, my reccomended is just popular videos, i hardly ever get any vids like that

[lime gull]

Clearly you don't watch enough stalker content

[hazy helm]

gamma/anomaly/new anomaly modpack

where is SOVL

we will never get PEAK back
https://youtu.be/2Hx_P-w6YEE?t=231

[restive jasper]

It's impossible right that stalker 2 can be delayed further right??

[hazy helm]

mfw there still isnt a new mod with a working grav gun
why

[sour goblet]

im gonna check out shadow of the zone

innacurate movie

they didnt violently loot the dead guy's body after killing him

also didnt stab him nearly enough

[dense hatch]

civvie did a playthrough of SoC a year ago

[loud gate]

With 2 weeks away, basically 0

[dense hatch]

it's alright though it does hurt seeing him run around with healing artifacts constantly on and wearing a normal jacket at radar

or as it's named ingame, the red forest

[kind sparrow]

I can't find STALKER on the switch

[sour goblet]

you know i dont see enough british army here

[loud gate]

Hope this link helps: https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-legends-of-the-zone-trilogy-switch/

[sour goblet]

do you seriously think they wouldnt come here to steal stuff and put it in their museum

[kind sparrow]

On the switch itself

It's not in the store

[loud gate]

Try searching for GSC Game World.

[kind sparrow]

Logging in my nintendo account gives me an error

Has this been released world wide or just in some countries?

[loud gate]

World Wide

[kind sparrow]

Can't be

Not in the store and gives me an error on the website

[loud gate]

You can try asking Mol1t or Artemida, I guess.

[kind sparrow]

IDK what mods are gonna do about a missing game

[hot tree]

they had a budget of 300k which is absolutely nothing to actually film an 1hr movie, one of their goals was set at 350k and it was to get proper weapon handling training etc but they didnt meet the goal

[kind sparrow]

Why does everything release later in New Zealand...

[gusty laurel]

oh i see

[kind sparrow]

Searching up legends of the zone in the switch store pulls up a One Piece game

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-cat-brush-silly-gif-22229371

[dense hatch]

wasn't it 150k

[kind sparrow]

Does anyone else have a switch? Can you check if you have the game?

[hot tree]

i would rate it a 5.5/10 but knowing they filmed it ith such a tiny budget its easily a 9/10 in my eyes xd

[dense hatch]

that's also OBSCENE for a fan film, esp considering where the budget went

[hazy helm]

films that were shown to movie theaters and got better returns were shot with less than 100k
the truth is that they had a sufficient ammount of money they were just completely fucking shit at handling money and didnt know what to do with the plot so they just fucked around and wasted it

[dense hatch]

they spent like a third of the budget on the SKOT

[kind sparrow]

See? Look at this, if the mods are as useless as this, who's gonna help?

[hot tree]

no, jsut checked on the kickstarter again they got 319k in pledges

[hazy helm]

DM Mol1t about it

he is one of the Community Managers

he works for GSC, as opposed to us

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[hot tree]

this was filmed in america where everythign costs a ton more as well

and yeah maybe some people would have handled the money better but honestly for a fan made with that amount of money its decent

[dense hatch]

maybe they should've prioritized budget better

or at all whatsoever

[hazy helm]

it costs tons more to film outside than it is to film inside, you could reuse sets from a enclosed space and it would work better thematically and stylistically
the whole shabam about we are going into a nuclear power plant fucking sucks when you know that they were fucking around with cash and wasting time when they shouldve given more cash to gfx or writting

but no

we need to get the SPONSORS MASON

WE NEED TO GET CRYE AND SPIRITUS SPONSORS

[dense hatch]

didn't they delay the film for bullet tracers

[stuck pewter]

The hell are the mods supposed to do?

[hot tree]

wait rly lol thought theyh were added with vfx

[hazy helm]

loads of decisions are baffling if you do see it from the perspective of they didnt have enuff funds bc, then, you have a bunch of fucking wish guntubbers splurging money on shit they dont need
and on the other side, they DID have money and they were doing this shit bc they wanted to do it as opposed bc of the movie

[stuck pewter]

Moderators are just random users with mod powers, it isnt like gsc hired them

[hazy helm]

there is no charitable way to look at it

[dense hatch]

the first season of nukabreak had a budget of 30 thousand

[hazy helm]

you didnt draft a good fucking plan with donation money, thats your problem, your mistake, and you need and should be criticized for it

[hot tree]

fair i guess i dont mind it much as i didnt pledge a single dollar, guess some of the people who did might feel a bit cheated

for sure should have invested more in a camera that can shoot better in low ligfht conditions

[loud gate]

They are not mods lol, they're community managers

[stuck pewter]

What

[dense hatch]

the entire movie feels like they just slapped a darkening filter on it

[stuck pewter]

Mozi you have it backwards

I think

[hazy helm]

also I want to remind you, they didnt spend money on equipment, they were sponsored

[stuck pewter]

Maybe i have it backwards

[hazy helm]

no dude, its the radiation on display dude, its so realistic and detail attention dude

attention to detail doesnt mean shit if the whole still sucks

[stuck pewter]

Its funny seeing opinions about it on discord vs on youtube

[indigo marsh]

No both you and Mozi don't have it backwards

[dense hatch]

no mutants, almost no anomalies, very few locations from the franchise, the stupid head ball

[stuck pewter]

Its night and day who is happy and who is livid

[dense hatch]

GOD THE HEAD BALL

[dense hatch]

a lot of them are people who were already fans of the creator, meaning they wanted something like this

[stuck pewter]

Yeah i did read a lot of comments like that

[dense hatch]

not people who care about the fact it's stalker, more that it's just SCP overlord again but with a slight facade of being related to a different franchise

[indigo marsh]

Wait I have it backwards

[sour goblet]

stalker: scp overlord edition

[dense hatch]

I like my fan films to be FAN films

[hot tree]

ahh i see, well could it have been better? FOR SURE, was it rly that bad? i dont think so, like i dont feel like i wasted an hour of my life lol

[dense hatch]

the biggest issue with it is that it doesn't even have the decency to be consistently bad

there are some really good visuals in there WHEN IT'S STALKER

the emission is fantastic

[hot tree]

i jsut liked the gravity anomaly ripping them apart

[dense hatch]

wasn't that one of TWO anomalies

[sour goblet]

why do i feel like they read over the story of stalker in a jif and then decided to make a movie on it because it was in demand

[stuck pewter]

Vasim isnt mad that its bad, hes mad because its an exceptionally poor adaptation of the series

[hot tree]

didnt their SCP movie suceed or was it also liek this?

[dense hatch]

the SCP movie worked because it was like this and fit the setting well enough

that was an SCP FAN film

[stuck pewter]

Their scp movie succeeded so much that they had to make a second one with STALKER in the title

[dense hatch]

this is a stalker "fan" film

no mutants from the trilogy too

[sour goblet]

they couldnt have even added like a pseudodog pet

[dense hatch]

that 15 minute animation by a korean stalker fan does a better job of showing off parts of the games even with the main character being a merc

WITH ALMOST NO DIALOG TOO

[hot tree]

i understand a bloodsucker is out of budget but a snork would be nice

[dense hatch]

a bloodsucker would not be out of the budget

[sour goblet]

like they couldve just gotten a pitbull or something

[hot tree]

well for it to actually look good and animated it would be a little expensive

[dense hatch]

not even just animated but ANYTHING

[stuck pewter]

I feel like the only hugely expensive thing to animate would be the anomalies

[dense hatch]

it would probably take like 15 minutes to find a fan film with actual mutant costumes

[sour goblet]

i dont think there would be anyone willing to go around basically half naked with a crop top and shorts crawling on all fours with awful sight because of a freaked up gas mask, especially in the forest

[dense hatch]

nah that's believable

there's plenty of indoor spaces too

[sour goblet]

true

[hot tree]

someone would do it for sure

[sour goblet]

freaky ass snorkers out there

[hot tree]

if they asked im sure plenty of stlaker fans would do it

[dense hatch]

it's just frustrating how little of the franchise they use

[hot tree]

well just think of it not as a movie about stalker but a movie about a singluar story inside the stalkewr universe

[dense hatch]

except it ain't that

that doesn't excuse the lack of ANYTHING

[sour goblet]

i would love to see a stalker movie/film thats basically an action drama comedy that was actually written by real stalker fans and includes real parts of stalker and it was well managed

[dense hatch]

just because it's a smaller story doesn't mean they have to drop the stalker part of the stalker fan film

[bright schooner]

it's simultanously incredibly derivative and also deeply divorced from the reality of the games. an incredible waste of time and energy on their part, honestly.

[dense hatch]

it's played completely straight while the franchise doesn't

giving me a headache

[hot tree]

i think it needs to be done by someone in eastern europe to fully understand the vibe i could bewrong though

[bright schooner]

it isnt an eastern europe thing, its an 'ive only been exposed to stalker via milsim youtubers' thing

[dense hatch]

it's directed by someone who does primarily milsim stuff I'm surprised nobody brought this up earlier

by earlier I mean a month after it was announced

[deft stirrup]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crisp ruin]

I got ill bros

[sour goblet]

rip get better soon

also when do i have to save zulu from snorks?

[still ridge]

It’s a joke but it’s in very bad taste

[rocky trellis]

And then there's Monthy python and the holy grail... it's honestly funny how much can actually be done with a rather low budget if you know what you're doing

[dense hatch]

Monty Python had like a 100k budget or so

[sour goblet]

NUMBER 6: FREEDOMER URINATES ON FELLOW STALKER BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SMOKE WEED

[dense hatch]

and it's a full feature length film

they also had real pyrotechnics outfits and props

And it was GOOD

[rocky trellis]

Absolutely. I don't really watch movies anymore these days and even the few recent ones I saw for the most part didn't seem as good despite of the massive budget

[vast kindle]

Hello yall

[dense hatch]

limits inspire innovation

which might be why it doesn't have much

[granite mortar]

Hi
What a nice day to praise our lord Jekan

[worn oar]

Praise lord Mo1lt*

[sly matrix]

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.

May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.

Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.

Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith.

[granite mortar]

Yohre telling me they arent the same person?

Day ruined

[sly matrix]

you're telling me they are?

[sour goblet]

by the way, when do i have to save zulu? i did the monolith ambush and captured book store

[regal sapphire]

doesnt he die in the underground?

[sour goblet]

no

[regal sapphire]

I thought that was scripted

[sour goblet]

bruh

[regal sapphire]

ill try to keep him alive in my next playthrough

[granite mortar]

Yes

[stuck pewter]

she jackin o' my lantern til i holler ween

isnt most labor in the zone forced labor

[celest goblet]

About £282,000... Which in today's money is about £3M

Still pretty low budget but doesn't really compare to 100k today

[indigo marsh]

Only for the bandits when yoga was the leader

[sour goblet]

[wide canyon]

[wide canyon]

oh well is ok tbh ill play it anyways and then i can play pioner after it comes out

stalker just for the single player is good

i was just hoping to play it more after singleplayer on some pvp

[dire dagger]

tbh pioneer looks cool but im really starting to think its vaporware

[wide canyon]

yeah they are taking some type i hope is real tbh it seems cool

time# sorry

[dire dagger]

nah bruh

its been like ages since they have given any real updates on the game

[wide canyon]

they show a trailer last july

[dire dagger]

they gave us a teaser past oct 11

[dire dagger]

[worthy lagoon]

You can order it in a German store or you wait for GSC to restock in the USA

If they manage to do that

[dire dagger]

though things dont look good considering that game legend restocked but

they no longer offer international shipping

[worthy lagoon]

Handle it to me

[spare arrow]

So is it possible to pre order the ultimate edition for PC yet?

[elder gale]

Can someone confirm that English subtitles are now supported on the LotZ console version? There was a patch announced a while ago adding more subtitles.

Would like to buy it if it is true.

[worthy lagoon]

#🖤┃s2-pre-order

Some have restocked

[dense hatch]

oh neat

[spare arrow]

@worthy lagoon but where?

I can't seem to find anything at all online

[jade coral]

Xbox pc marketplace

[glossy wave]

Can I just say the Freedom base is the worst experience I’ve had in the game so far

[spare arrow]

which game?

[glossy wave]

SoC

[spare arrow]

then yes lol

[glossy wave]

Killing every sniper and covering the entire team at once

Rushing into the building to kill the guy in the back and take out the exos

Two went down gave them medkits, one died to an electrical anomaly at the homestead

Oh also while I was running through the warehouses the Duty guards got overwhelmed by psuedo dogs and the little pygmy things

Two survived actually

Also scarecrow got killed by Mercs

The SGI with the scope has been serving me well though

I’m hoping to find an exoskeleton before the SEVA suit breaks. Radiation isn’t really a problem with the two crystals I have on me and I’m offsetting the endurance debuff with a really good endurance artifact I found next to where you start against the mercs attacking the ecologists, an intermediate one I found in Yantar and a basic one however I don’t want to test Strelok’s faith without it

[marsh lichen]

Guys, anyone here from the balkans? I want to buy the physical edition but so far no mention of anyone selling...should I buy it from germany? (game legends i think)

[coarse lake]

Hey, I was wondering, how long is the buy window for the physical editions? I wanna get the Collector's Edition when I get paid around next week but I don't wanna miss it
If you respond, please ping, thanks!

[marsh lichen]

nvm they dont ship to my country...

[lime gull]

No idea, your best bet is to keep your eye on local retailers and call them to see if you can order it in advance or something

[lime gull]

@coarse lake The window depends on your local retailers. Afaik there is only a European supplier offering presales atm. As I said in my prev reply, best bet is probably to contact a local gamestore and ask them.

[wanton trail]

It really blows they have such few copies and such weird places to aquire the physical editions

[lime gull]

It is less than 1 month to release. But yes it does suck. I think it will be easier in the coming weeks, but who knows.

[coarse lake]

so should I wait or just order it as soon as I get paid?
I am from Europe

[wanton trail]

Idk since they've released it to retailers already I doubt they'll restock. Hell in US they're only selling on FinalBossBundle. Whatever the hell that is

[coarse lake]

honestly this will be the first Collector's Edition of any game I buy so I'm just trying to gather up as much info as I can

[native ibex]

Guys

This last month sucks. What am I gonna do all November but stare with longing at release day

[coarse lake]

play the old Stalker games

[native ibex]

Mmm

Agh... I'd rather player a dedicated shooter or a dedicated exploration game. Or Spyro.

Spyro Reignited was glorious.

[coarse lake]

true

[native ibex]

Man, the intro music to Year of the Dragon is forever stuck in my head

Idk how many people activate the original soundtrack. Maybe I should try the new one

[hazy helm]

OGSR Variant Omega

[native ibex]

Man, that sounds experimental

Play call of the zone ong

Cool we can see our legs in STALKER 2 but the real question is will we be able to shoot our own legs?

[lean quiver]

doubt it

[mossy verge]

I have great respect for each and every developer and thank each of you for making this possible. glory of Ukraine I'm looking forward to it in 19 days, greetings from Austria, I bought the ultimate edition on Amazon

[lean quiver]

pufferfish

[blissful night]

does anyone know how to fix stalker anomaly from overheating my computer? it seems to only happen with this game

i turned down my visual settings but should i use a different renderer, mine is set to directx 11 currently

[mossy verge]

@glossy blade

[dawn grotto]

is weird that theres soon to be a port of stalker to the nintendo switch

do you guys think they'il fix all the bugs and add a bit of cut lore

[mossy verge]

Thx on all gsc Games wolrd dev

[dawn grotto]

if they do the community is gonna have to port it back to pc :D

[peak walrus]

You guys think the $100 version is worth?

[mossy verge]

I paid 370

[lean quiver]

the anomaly experience

[peak walrus]

to each their own, no judgement here

[mossy verge]

Yeah

We all gamers

[mossy verge]

I've been waiting since 10/2/22

[peak walrus]

Im dying to play man its killing me lol

[lean quiver]

assuming no delay i guess

[peak walrus]

yea im waiting till i see its been released until i buy any additions..

[mossy verge]

I even wanted to go to the front in Ukraine 🙂

[peak walrus]

well, id say you're alone on that one my friend

[cobalt nexus]

The community has already patched the pc versions. No need to port the switch versions just to try and get improvements.

[celest blaze]

fr

[celest blaze]

noble goals but remember war is NOT a game and it's very serious

[cobalt nexus]

Try asking on the anomaly discord. This is for the stalker games.

[blissful night]

oh lol, im in this one and gamma discord, couldnt fine the anomaly one

[mossy verge]

oh yes

[frigid rover]

[dense hatch]

I mean does cut lore include cut quests

most of the cut lore is kinda bad

[pale pivot]

Trial by fire

They will take what they can get

[dense hatch]

sin isn't great and the ISG/UN kinda stink

I do think it's a shame that you don't get the interactive intro in CS though

it's a shame

their outfits kinda sucked

red, white, and green

[indigo marsh]

Imo it was either sin or Monolith

Bc they are both fanatics

[dense hatch]

monolith better in terms of style

[indigo marsh]

It's just how much fanaticism you want

[dense hatch]

black cloaks are bad

unless it's bandits who are funny

[wise geyser]

The closer we get 👌🗿👌

Im withdrawing all responsibilities on release

I shall not be bothered

[celest blaze]

I can't WAIT

[dense hatch]

[stiff sky]

will it look bad?

[dense hatch]

I mean probably not

[celest blaze]

Idk if it will even run in the first place

[dense hatch]

it'll run just not well

mathematically about 50% as well as it should

[celest blaze]

True

[stiff sky]

damnit i guess i am gonna have to see if it runs and not get a refund

[dense hatch]

less than 2 hours of gameplay

or just hold onto it until you can run it

Stalker is the ultimate test for my F6 and F7 key...

is there really people who quick load with something that is not F9, that's as a disgusting as playing with inverted controls

[regal sapphire]

f9 is just too far

[lean quiver]

you could accidentally quick load if the keys are that close

[hollow prawn]

proceeds to accidentally quicksave 1 milisecond before bleeding to death

[regal sapphire]

that happens a couple times per playthrough

maybe like 4-5 times

Invert ain't that bad

I used to play invert for a good while

Release date is the 20th, if you have the ultimate edition pre-ordered you'll get a code send to you on the day. The physical bits may take a bit longer to arrive

Last time I was this hyped was the Halo 3 midnight launch

19 more days until we in the zone again

Damn I feel old man

Remember all my Ironman runs on call of Pripyat.. good times

I hope iron man difficulty is in stalker 2 man that would be awsome

1 life can’t get it wrong

[polar orchid]

yikes

that'd be fairly intense

[dire dagger]

On master difficulty

Run ends when a stray bullet instantly kills you

[wise geyser]

You know how it is brother tell em

[polar orchid]

tbh that sounds like torture in the original games

[wise geyser]

Said is life in the zone…

[dire dagger]

Yah

Early game so many guns can insta kill you

[wise geyser]

Yeah 👍

Especially since this games armor seems to be more in depth

[polar orchid]

the original games are just super random, the bloom on your own bullets is insane

[wise geyser]

But if iron man’s a thing combat isn’t what I’m worried about I’ve played way too much stalker and tactical shooters to worry about that

[dire dagger]

The clearly cs-1 better be in the game

[wise geyser]

For me now in this one the zone itself would prob catch me off guard

New anomaly’s I don’t know and the terrain

And all the grass and foliage and new building with interiors for them to hide

[blazing latch]

bugu gaga

[wise geyser]

That’s what would make this iron man run hard

They don’t make bad games and this is their biggest

[solid dome]

Are you... hold on here, I'm dead ass serious? Are you for real? Cockstar is dropping PORNOGRAPHY in a videogame format, glorifying this is glorifying public fvcking.

[wise geyser]

Wut???

We’re was that lol

And i wasn’t even referring to that lmao I meant as in gta 5 was good RDR2 was arguably one of the best games in recent times and now this is their biggest project and the most expensive game ever made by said same people

[solid dome]

Cockstar is not meter for quality anymore

[wise geyser]

On paper alone that’s slated to be good not even just from personal experience of their games

[wise geyser]

RDR2?

[solid dome]

Launched 2018

[wise geyser]

And lmao?

It still looks better than most a games of today

Snap as a matter of fact many people are saying stalkers skybox actually compares to rdr2s

Which is a compliment

RDR2 has hands down prob the best skybox and sky/weather effects in gaming today so for stalker to look just as good is nothing short of greatness

I understand you love stalker and may like to shit talk rockstar lmao but it’s not bad when to know when to give a company its flowers

[lethal orchid]

I doubt a GTA game can come close to rdr2

[native ibex]

Dunno

[wise geyser]

Gonna have to wait and see I guess

[solid dome]

I was saying, GTA is all of the same concept every single title, whereas STALKER is developing on top of each game with never before seen stuff.

[wise geyser]

That’s fair but that’s not to say the story’s still haven’t been great me personally not 5 tbh but 4 had a great story

[solid dome]

Nothing to steal your mind, gangs, cars, whores, same thing.

GTA story for me is the situation in the reality. If you experienced it once... you know from the inside.

Are you talking about the light CS armor or the Heavy CS armor?

[sour goblet]

[dense hatch]

what

[wise geyser]

Not really maybe if it was a live service new Bethesda game yeah

But this was their first new IP standalone single player game

[dim topaz]

Every bethesda game after skyrim has been progressively poopy

[wise geyser]

Had no merit that it would be bad

[wise geyser]

Yeah.. live service games

Fallout 4 wasn’t bad and that was the last single player

[dim topaz]

It wasn't good either

[wise geyser]

Like I said if it was a live service and I expected more than yeah serves me right but a single player Ip

[wise geyser]

Well that’s your op ur entitled to I guess

[dim topaz]

Solid 5/10

[wise geyser]

If you believe so indeed

Just sucks tho they are a disgrace now after starfield

Makes me wonder about es6 tbh

Granted stalker is prob gonna be the game im playing years to come so ehh doesn’t make much difference lol

19 more days 😌

Gonna preorder the deluxe and likely get the season pass for the dlcs later on

[dire dagger]

Light

[indigo marsh]

It does make sense to find it in a stash in GS

[wise geyser]

How many hours you guys think you gonna have on the first week of release?

[sullen raven]

Guys, I've pre-ordered Stalker 2 on amazon and it says that the delivery will be on 20/11. But I also noticed that on Game Legends the physical items will arrive in April, but on amazon it doesn't say anything similar. Is this issue only with Game Legends?

[dire dagger]

I mean it’s the best armor hands down in clear sky

It’s gotta make a come back

[wise geyser]

Ong

[indigo marsh]

I like the design of the CS Heavy and it's capabilities but it's a mid game suit. CS light is more common and the heavier variants will be more likely to go with Lebedev in the final mission.

[indigo marsh]

Imo that goes to the CA heavy or the Seva suit

[dire dagger]

Hella nah bruh

Light can shrug off basically all small arms fire

And also let you carry insane amount of loot and have 5 artifacts equipped

[indigo marsh]

I only need like 3 guns. Sometimes 2. I usually just stash my loot and then forget about it.

But the artifact thing is nice

I think the CS heavy can only carry 4 artifacts fully upgraded

[twin thistle]

ES6 will be a good reset but they have got to stop with the procedural generation stuff

that doesn't do them any good at all

[rocky trellis]

There hasn't been much of a sign of Elder Scrolls 6 for a long time but I no longer think that it's going to be a good game. If they make something good by accident I'll celebrate

Might as well give a typewriter to 500 monkeys and wait for one of them to write a good book.

[twin thistle]

I really don't think Starfield is going to have any sort of reflection on ES6's quality. The whole design philosophy of SF was screwed from the start. Bethesda's fine when it comes to carefully built, curated content.

[rocky trellis]

Starfield wasn't the first dip in quality

at this point it's a pattern

[stiff sky]

I can't wait till this game drops let's gooo

[dim topaz]

"a companys history is not an indication of their future"

[twin thistle]

The FO series has really struggled but ES just doesn't seem to be one that has the same quality issues (probably because they wait like 15 years between games now lol)

[rocky trellis]

Fallout 4 wasn't as good as Skyrim, but I think it's fair to say expecting something of same quality so soon would have been unreasonable... but it only kept going down ever since

or wait which one came first gotta double check lol

[dim topaz]

Elder scrolls games have been progressively getting simpler (dumber?) since morrowind

[brittle needle]

Good morning gentlemen, do you know any mod for stalker call of pripyiat? please, sorry for bad english

[twin thistle]

Think you can make that argument and it's fair, MW itself is a departure from the original ES stuff

[hazy helm]

make ES6 a Daggerfall remake, dont be a pussy

[twin thistle]

I can very get behind that

[hazy helm]

Daggerfall is procceduraly generated

[sour goblet]

by the way how many people should be with me during evacuation?

[rocky trellis]

may be so, but not entirely in a bad way. I like the freedom of Oblivion custom spells, but also recognize it was completely whacky and broken system, and honestly not that great overall due to how few spells you REALLY have. Like, you only end up needing a few spells and everything else is pointless because it's all weak trash.

[dim topaz]

Ofc I'm not saying Oblivion or skyrim have been bad by any means but... Ir that's an indication of their creative direction, combined with thwir recent releases, they might just be getting to the point of no return with ES too

[sour goblet]

i forgot to count at the start of evacuation

[twin thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[coarse lake]

if I buy the Ultimate Physical Edition of the game, I receive the Ultimate Edition Digital Content
The website does not list what exactly is in the Ultimate Edition Digital Content and the only ones viewable are Deluxe and Ultimate with Collector's being somewhere in between, but I don't know what exactly the difference is

[uneven granite]

All hope for ES6 being good was lost for me when Starfield came out

Don’t get me started on F76

Bethesda is cooked

[twin thistle]

Yeah I mean it's all in what you're wanting out of the experience, the good news is there are loads of CRPGs and stuff these days to do what Bethesda's moved away from

[rocky trellis]

the most basic spell in Oblivion: Just max out everything, create spell to increase you max mana, then you use that increased max mana to cast even stronger version of that and do that a few times you can cast that OP spell

ultimately, you have exactly 1 offensive spell in the game

but I got a bit creative and made a spell to give maxed out buffs for a long ass time for melee combat, health, defense or whatever so I can go full berserk with no consequences

[twin thistle]

Starfield's single biggest problem is the scope. It just overwhelms everything else and made them cut too many corners. It wants to be this gigantic universe with sprawling vistas and incredible sights, but forgot to include a game with it that could actually function on the Creation engine without imploding.

Talking about en offtopic in en_Stalker is also off topic

Agreed

[rocky trellis]

I'd expect the game to be available on it at some point if not on launch. Can always ask in #📜┃ask-gsc

[dire dagger]

Yah but what if your far away from a trader

You gotta carry all that loot on your person

[twin thistle]

this is what leg day is for

[rocky trellis]

Why can't we just send out loot to the cloud service? It's 2024!

[indigo marsh]

That's very true.

And usually the good guns are far from the traders

[worn oar]

[indigo marsh]

Like in red forest (mine trader is aight at best) and army warehouses. Yantar too bc Sakharov doesn't buy guns.

[rocky trellis]

got a random idea... I hope there's difference in regional prices in the zone

[wise geyser]

I like skiffs VA dude man sounds aggressive but nuanced

Because he’s green asf

Hope he switches not his tone but the way he speaks as the game progresses

[wise geyser]

This would be cool

[rocky trellis]

What I liked to do in Dead Frontier is buy stuff for lower price and then haul it to another outpost through hordes of zombies

[dense hatch]

isn't that already a thing

like certain traders have different prices based on faction and area

at least in the games with more than 3 areas

[rocky trellis]

not exactly? the difference in price is pretty tiny and they pay you less, don't they?

there's bigger difference in price locally...

[wise geyser]

We’ll also don’t rep affect prices as well in the originals

[dense hatch]

it's quite a bit, up to like 30%

[wise geyser]

Could be wrong but ima play em again soon before launch

[native sparrow]

Currently playing clear sky

[dense hatch]

like the freedom trader buying stuff for like 50% compared to Sid's 80% for artifacts

[rocky trellis]

yea but the difference can be even bigger when you compare a vendor that isn't specialized to deal with that specific product...

[wise geyser]

Hot take best one in my opinion

[rocky trellis]

and no way to really benefit from that price difference except for stuff you find or stuff you buy specifically to use

[dense hatch]

still accurate with prices at scientist bunkers

[twin thistle]

Could not believe Scar is back for this one

[wise geyser]

We want the SHINING ZONE TO REVEAL ITSELF

[dense hatch]

it's just not too exaggerated because most of the traders instead just sell stuff they have a surplus of

[dense hatch]

scar wasn't confirmed dead

characters ain't dead till you see the body

[wise geyser]

I don’t think he meant he was dead lmao he means just back as in he was gone after cs

[twin thistle]

There were theories over the year of him being Charon at one point

kinda glad it's not that

[stiff sky]

What are you most excited for Harris about stalker 2?

[wise geyser]

The music

I know harris too well 👌😭👌

[twin thistle]

I bought a bigass bottle of Nemiroff to imbibe at launch

[wise geyser]

I need Tommy to put me on to his connects for some nonstops

Either that or ima go pay to have a custom bottle made somewhere lmao

Leave it in my desk the whole playthrough and then once I beat the game pop that hoe open and enjoy

After a casual 350 hours ofc

[twin thistle]

I had to leave my state to find it. One of the 2 bottles I bought broke during the flight 😭

[wise geyser]

😭😭

Can’t believe this game is so close man I was a kid when I first played the originals

[runic zenith]

oh boy im so excited for this game

Feel old as hell now even tho I’m not lol

Gamma and stuff is fun but it's not the STALKER I want

[wise geyser]

I’ve waiting more than half mine lol

I was a fetus when I played them on my dads old laptop

I’m boutta be 20 in 3 months now lmao

[runic zenith]

i tried will to live but meeeh after a while it annoyed me

[twin thistle]

that seems really hard to do when you're in the womb, but who's to say you don't have powers granted from the noosphere

[stiff sky]

@dense hatch i am sorry about my rant last night. Turned out my computer will be able to handle the game well.

[wise geyser]

Lmao

[twin thistle]

all of the hardcore mods are fun but you know, not really what it's supposed to be about

[wise geyser]

I don’t mean actual fetus obvs 😂

[twin thistle]

can't backtrack now, we're on to you

[wise geyser]

Just a small child 👦 who encountered the zone

[twin thistle]

I am old enough to remember when EB Games sold used PC games. USED PC GAMES.

[rocky trellis]

ngl, that is kinda crazy in a way. Technically you can buy a game, install it and just sell it right away

[hazy harness]

Are you old enough to have used a floppy though

[native ibex]

Hello there

[hazy harness]

They were still a thing when I was a kid, funny that they still remain a popular "save icon" nowadays

[wise geyser]

We got a lot of old ass stalkers in here lmao

[hazy harness]

we're not getting any younger 😔

[deep quiver]

whats yall opinions on shadow of the zone?

[twin thistle]

yes

[wise geyser]

True there

[hazy helm]

@granite mortar they made a vid about your fav mod

[deep quiver]

for me it kinda sucks, lower than the standard

[hazy helm]

its shit

[twin thistle]

we actually just cleared out and broke a bunch of my dad's old work floppies

[rocky trellis]

At least wer'e young enough to play Stalker 2... well do pray that none of us be gone next 19 days.

[deep quiver]

cag slop

[wise geyser]

God willing brother

[hazy harness]

A moment of tought for all the Stalkers who left us before Stalker 2 can see the light of day

[deep quiver]

im gonna half life 3 all over zalissya

[wise geyser]

💀💀💀💀

Speaking of making it I hope Tommy doesn’t literally explode on release

Not even joking like he dead ass prob will 😭😂

[sour goblet]

my great great great great great great grandfather was going on strong at 563 years and died october 31st this year.. rest in peace... he played stalker nearly every day..

[deep quiver]

forget about it, she noon on my ward till i spark

[hazy harness]

flipside is I'm really too old to understand any of this

[rocky trellis]

Another random idea... I could use CNC (with wood) and laser to create something stalker related since I still have access to those for next few weeks for the duration of my studies that are basically done already and free to do own projects

[hazy harness]

Wait where is my monolith icon
Who unvonverted me

[wise geyser]

I don’t even know what he meant either lmao I just got the half life reference 😂

[sour goblet]

p diddy rizz skibidi gyatt ohio fanum tax those who know still water german stare jamaican smile

[deep quiver]

yall havent been reading the anomalous dugout leaks

[hazy harness]

god

[deep quiver]

those who know :

[wise geyser]

No I just watch his lore videos

I will never read a leak I wanna go into the zone blind

[hazy harness]

Leaks dilute the fun

[wise geyser]

Might as well call me Faust how blind I wanna enter the zone 😎

Molit pin that

[hazy harness]

Faust looks ssooo much like one of the former French presidents it boggles me

[rocky trellis]

related to that, anyone got any suggestion for what to make? First idea I got is making a wooden stalker badge or something but that's thinking small

[twin thistle]

One thing that'd be sick is faction-branded hockey jerseys

[wise geyser]

🗿

[sour goblet]

i actually barely remember anything from stalker 2 leaks

[wise geyser]

You need to leave 👴🏻

[twin thistle]

ok dying fetus (which is a great band, btw)

[twin thistle]

I've only watched the dev log stuff, not much else

[sour goblet]

i only remember that it looks awesome and also skif and richter's faces

[hazy harness]

I'm still concerned by the fact that we saw literally no gameplay that wasnt carefully dev-curated a lil bit

[wise geyser]

I’m sorry strider…

[twin thistle]

I've seen preview footage a little bit, looked fine to me

[wise geyser]

Well people have literally played the game lmao

[sour goblet]

what happened to strider

[rocky trellis]

you say carefully curated, but they didn't mind showing us bugs...

[wise geyser]

Nothing I was just quoting skiff

[hazy harness]

everyone under the exact same conditions that allowed them to only see specific bits

[rocky trellis]

nothing crazy, but still noticeable if paying attention

[wise geyser]

When he said I’m sorry strider

[sour goblet]

why did he say that

now im worried for strider

[wise geyser]

We don’t know yet

[hazy helm]

https://insider-gaming.com/stalker-2-pc-specs/

[hazy harness]

he stole his doctor sausage

[rocky trellis]

is that updated?

[sour goblet]

uh oh

[twin thistle]

I'll be honest, this game could be gigantic poop from a butt and I don't think I'd care, I just want to play the damn thing. I've waited so long for it.

[rocky trellis]

or just nothing new and they pretend it's news?

[wise geyser]

There were people in console and pc playing at multiple different events

[balmy hound]

They're working hard until the day of release, you'll see what it gives on Day 1.

[jade coral]

Will run beautifully once we get hands on 5series gpu

[sour goblet]

thanks hater

[twin thistle]

it's on Gamepass too so it's not like people have to commit to the full price upfront. perfect way to get lost in the Zone and see if it's for them.

[balmy hound]

Doesn't seem so, but maybe this is a confirmation, who knows.

[wise geyser]

True

[twin thistle]

I just want that Ultimate Physical that I will probably never get 😦

I did need to do a new PC build so super convenient there's a 4070 Super STALKER 2 edition that just so happens to be attractive

[hazy harness]

I know and I dont believe they had the full game open to them

[wise geyser]

Ima preorder the digital deluxe to not miss out on content and then get season pass down the line

[rocky trellis]

obviously you don't want to give spoilers before the game comes out.

[hazy harness]

but I have faith, it can only be good because Strelok said so 😌

[twin thistle]

this is a game forged by unimaginable tragedy and triumph. regardless of what it's like at launch, just grateful I'm here to see it.

[rocky trellis]

would be very awkward if you were to spoil the story before a game/movie comes out... cough cough I think I can remember a few cases of that happening

[hazy harness]

yup

[wise geyser]

There was the opening bit tests and then the 3 hour play tests people got that wasn’t that limited prob not the whole map obvs but ehh

[twin thistle]

never thought this day would come

[hazy harness]

i know what there was stop telling me

[jade coral]

Not to mention dev kit coming soon after, will be amazing

[wise geyser]

💀💀

[twin thistle]

GSC knows what we degenerates like

[rocky trellis]

Nobody knows what you know 🤷‍♂️

[wise geyser]

Ong lmao

[rocky trellis]

time to take off all the clothes from bloodsuckers! oh wait they have none

[twin thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/glasses-off-hold-up-wait-pause-evaluate-gif-14752535

[wise geyser]

Someone earlier said bloodsucker jiggle physics 💀

[wise geyser]

Which they prob have lmao on the tentacles

[hazy harness]

boils down to "I trust what I see and I havent seen anything without a GSC stamp of approval"

[twin thistle]

150 GB of space sweet jesus bloodsucker cinnamatitties

[hazy harness]

Oh damn they didnt move it up in requirements
champs

[valid thicket]

So nineteen more days

[wise geyser]

Indeed brother here’s hoping I’m not shot

[hazy harness]

you cant get shot if you say no to violence

[balmy hound]

Halloween was so uninteresting yesterday

[wise geyser]

Tell that to the Ukrainian people 🗿

[hazy harness]

I wouldnt have made that one

[wise geyser]

It’s not a joke lmao I’m being dead ass

[stiff sky]

oh no bro.

[valid thicket]

I don't know I had a good time

[hazy harness]

dude

[wise geyser]

Violence can find you when ever wherever

You can be the best people in the world and nice and kind

[still ridge]

They didn’t, but the reviewers in the recent previews did

[wise geyser]

Still can be affected by violence

[still ridge]

They just didn’t get to show their footage

[indigo marsh]

We are so back

[hazy harness]

not very credible backpedalling
but I'm not the popo so ey

[wise geyser]

Lmao you say backpedaling as if it was a joke

Nothing is funny about what’s happening down there smh

[still ridge]

I mean I’ll take them at face value if they say the game was still good after the extra 3 hours of play time they had

Past the prologue section of the game btw

[wise geyser]

Indeed

Even like Stephen’s came out and made that vid saying what he said was wrong

[twin thistle]

[wise geyser]

There were a couple people saying tho that the game was clunky because they got shot in their backs not knowing where the enemy’s are…

Aka getting flanked 🗿

Tommy was memeing them on stream lmao

[twin thistle]

STALKER 2 is really just Starfield for people with crippling vodka addiction

[still ridge]

Not the analogy I would use but ok

[twin thistle]

this is a bit of a joke from an off-topic convo earlier

the vodka part though, I never joke about 😤 😤 😤

Actually I need to get some cured sausages and stale bread loaves to really prep for 11/20

[cyan canopy]

Artefact

[wise geyser]

Stalker is fallouts older brother that always outshines him and metro is the middle child

Metro is accepted tho

The little one is a disgrace atm

[still ridge]

Fallout came out before stalker

[jade coral]

Ngl kinda surprised they have pc specs listed a spec lower than Ark ascended , both in UE5 prob aiming for steady 30fps

[wise geyser]

Checkmate

[cyan canopy]

Metro and Stalker always forever

[still ridge]

You could kind of make an argument about fallout 3 being somewhat similar but still

same with the OG 2033 although that literally had ex stalker devs

[twin thistle]

actually, Stalker came out in 1979 buckaroo

[still ridge]

Fallout is not inspired by it

[cyan canopy]

its movie
