[quiet ridge]

They are only shipping my order on the 20th.. so if I am lucky I get in on the 22th if not on the 25th...

[blissful dome]

What's in the physical copy?

[balmy bramble]

If you have any foreign friends you could get it delivered to their address and have them ship it internationally to you from there

[scarlet ruin]

Yeah I was trying to get a collector's one @jaunty pebble hopefully can secure one, cheers for the help

[jaunty pebble]

It should be also in the link there

I can’t tell at the top of my head right now

Or atleast in the links of the sellers

[raw pike]

The big deluxe/collectors ones?

[blissful dome]

I just looked it up, looks cool

[pliant leaf]

Yeah Addy im in the SAME BOAT BRUTHA LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND A WAY AROUND GETTING IT

[blissful dome]

Man I haven't been this excited for a game in a long god damn time lol

[raw pike]

I'm leaning towards deluxe personally. Ultimate is a biiiiig jump in price for a collectors backpack (always a gamble in quality) and a decorative lantern

[stiff leaf]

mine too homie

was pretty devastated. was really looking forward to those collectables

[nimble cipher]

i40addy has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[pliant leaf]

yeh cant swear

[scarlet ruin]

https://finalbossbundle.com/products/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl-reprint had to pay an extra 50 us for shipping but worth for stalker 2

You won't get the physical stuff until April next year but will get your code on launch

[grim birch]

I bought the ultimate edition I’m excited for it

[hoary kiln]

I bought it twice. Steam and Xbox. LETS GO

[grim birch]

The physical?

[hoary kiln]

Nah, just both digital.

[pliant leaf]

Jeeeez 246 usd to aud though is 370 aud thats nutty

[grim birch]

I bought the physical ultimate pre order and the digital ultimate

[stiff leaf]

yeah idk if i could do that fr

[hoary kiln]

I wanted to but I have too much shit in my room. No sense in cluttering more.

[stiff leaf]

us aussies get screwed every time with this stuff

[hoary kiln]

Though it does look super nice

[scarlet ruin]

Yeah I had one on Amazon for 250 aud but got an email today saying my order got cancelled so had to get the reprint collectors 😦 extra 120 worth tho cuz it's stalker m8

[stiff leaf]

yeah tempting

i contacted amazon supp and they said that my product should still be received so idk

they directly contacted the supplier

[scarlet ruin]

Oh really? For collector's edition or standard

[stiff leaf]

collectors

[scarlet ruin]

Cuz my email said that my order has been cancelled due to no stock

[stiff leaf]

but i might grab this one just in case tho

[scarlet ruin]

When did you preorder

[stiff leaf]

pretty late tbh

late last month i believe

[scarlet ruin]

I did mine start of September so pretty late too

Luck of the draw I guess

[stiff leaf]

ill get this one and if i get confirmation that my order is still good to go i can let you know. but up to you homie

honestly the safer bet is the link you provided

[scarlet ruin]

All g man I bought the other one already

[stiff leaf]

i secured mine as well. so keen for this game plus i wanna support the devs

[scarlet ruin]

Yeah man I would buy that ultimate one but the jump in cost is a bit too much aye

[inland hamlet]

this confuses me still xD

[stiff leaf]

yeah nah its crazy expensive

[scarlet ruin]

I just wanted the statue

[stiff leaf]

happy with the collectors haha

[inland hamlet]

i ordered the collectors edition amazone says it will be delivered but the product is not in stock xD

[scarlet ruin]

Yeah collectors good price

[stiff leaf]

when did you pre order?

[inland hamlet]

7 november 24

right now when it was available

[torn solar]

The multiplayer will be disappointing I guess

[stiff leaf]

rip mine and addy's got cancelled on us and we ordered before

[inland hamlet]

i was lucky i think ???? got atleast no cancel massage or anything

[unique storm]

Ah yes, lovely Amazon just cancelled my collectors edition purchase :(

[stiff leaf]

i ordered late last month and got the email today saying it was cancelled

[buoyant iron]

i see you guys are also in the same spot

[inland hamlet]

amazone us or europe ?

[unique storm]

Amazon Australia. I pre-ordered early this year

[inland hamlet]

does it make a differene tho ß XD

[stiff leaf]

man thats brutal

[unique storm]

And due to the logistics over here, there's no others available

[stiff leaf]

i bit the bullet and went with the one addy sent

[buoyant iron]

you know what is even more worse, 💀 i said to myself imma do this tmmr while i was looking to preorder it from big W

[unique storm]

Worst part is that Big W site keeps saying it's in stock

[buoyant iron]

TRUE

[unique storm]

But the moment you put in a postal code it whines it that it's not available

[buoyant iron]

💀 me checking almost every single post code to see if they have any in stock but nothing in the whole country

[unique storm]

Same lol. I wouldn't care if I had to pay 50$ in shipping

[buoyant iron]

true, imma bite the bullet and do the same

[stiff leaf]

i did

physical stuff wont be till april next year but you still get the digital key on launch so theres that

[unique storm]

And now with the "second batch" I don't even want to order it, purely by the fact of the disclaimer that the "new" ones might "possibly" be of worse quality, aka plastic case

[stiff leaf]

not too fussed on the steelbook honestly. im happy for the statue and the patches etc

[buoyant iron]

bruh the ultimate edition is $100 delivery thast like almost 700aud

[stiff leaf]

nah screw that i went with the collectors

[unique storm]

Fully understandable. It's more principle for me that you'd pay the same for "less". Drop the price 30$ and I'll take it

[stiff leaf]

only 370 all up. still a lot but better than not getting anything at all

[stiff leaf]

yeah that is a fair argument

[raw pike]

I went with collectors as well because I didn't care much for the backpack or lamp

[buoyant iron]

good thing i have paypal so i can pay in 4

[stiff leaf]

though to be fair there is a chance of the case being plastic and not a steelbook so theres that i guess

[unique storm]

At this point I'd even consider purchasing it in Europe and have it sent to my relatives over there, and then have them ship it down to Aussieland lol

[inland hamlet]

you cant buy the edition from from other country and let it ship to australia ?

[stiff leaf]

honestly that sounds like a much better option

[inland hamlet]

dunno how its working there tbh

[unique storm]

The problem is that the shipping costs are insane too. Since I'll assume the box will be quite big (Looking at my old ESO collectors edition box). It'd be probably 100-150$ just to bring it down here

[stiff leaf]

try finalbossbundle in the pre order section. could

[inland hamlet]

you can order it in germany tho

[stiff leaf]

ah so you'd honestly end up spending the same amount anyways

[pseudo rivet]

Hey guys, I heard about the pre-order in Australia? Any luck with an Australian shop that sells them?

[inland hamlet]

maybe they ship ?

[buoyant iron]

nah

every single store says its outstock even the sites that looks like scam says its out of stock too lmao

[stiff leaf]

nah sadly 😦

[unique storm]

Yeah. If they had any ultimate physical editions left down here I'd upgrade for that, but it's all gone afaik

[pseudo rivet]

Shipping to Australia is usually expensive as hell

[stiff leaf]

yeah i bit the bullet for the finalbossbundle order for collectors

[scarlet ruin]

Surely the reprints won't actually be worse quality, have faith

[stiff leaf]

was my best bet in securing a copy

[inland hamlet]

i hope 🙂

but wait where do i know if i have a reprint tho ?

[stiff leaf]

you looking to order lertz?

[scarlet ruin]

If you got it off Amazon it should be the first print

[inland hamlet]

i already did via amzone

[stiff leaf]

ah thats right my bad

[scarlet ruin]

But you might get the email saying your order is cancelled

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Amazon is funky like that

[inland hamlet]

so far i got no massage from azaone

[pseudo rivet]

But hey, something is better than nothing

[stiff leaf]

that is true

[inland hamlet]

and if i get one ima end my live

[pliant leaf]

Bit dog of that Koch media though

[stiff leaf]

guess its in their name >.>

nah fr tho i was bummed today when i got the email

[unique storm]

I got really bummed too. It's the first collectors edition in pretty much the past 10 years that I pre-ordered

[stiff leaf]

last one i got was cyberpunk

other than that no other collectors editions ever

[unique storm]

My last one was the Elder Scrolls Online one (Not sure if that was 10 years ago though, but I think it was)

[pliant leaf]

yeh full on aye, ive never pre ordered games but stalker 2 yeah oath

[pseudo rivet]

What about Big W?

Sold out?

[buoyant iron]

also sold out

[unique storm]

Big-W is out yeah. Says it's "in stock" but the moment you tap in any postal address it just comes out as unavailable

[pseudo rivet]

Dang

[buoyant iron]

bruh i was like im going to do this tmmr and next day out of stock

[unique storm]

I regret not cancelling my order and instead going with EB Games while they still had it in stock

[pseudo rivet]

Game Legend as well, I assume?

Perhaps you could try a game shop in New Zealand. I know someone managed to get one from there

And that was yesterday

[unique storm]

Took a look over at the Swedish stores (Home country) and they're all out there too

[inland hamlet]

https://game-legends.de/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-2-Heart-of-Chornobyl-Collector-s-Edition-Reprint-Code-in-a-Box-XSRX-4020628560195?srsltid=AfmBOoqGw6AcH8br2R6A8fZZjHQ5ckgVpmdLpX99RQ9Gk-HxHEdR6l2auA8 should be available ?

[pliant leaf]

they dont deliver to aus no?

[inland hamlet]

i have no clue

[pliant leaf]

dont think so lad

[limpid oracle]

@blissful dome seriously

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be hella wack if true

What's with Australia and the shipping costs anyways?

[pliant leaf]

coz we are out in the middle of nowhere

[pseudo rivet]

I know it's a bit removed from the Western world, but still

[naive fog]

Australia doesn't exist so how are they gonna ship?

[pliant leaf]

AWE WHAT A JOKER !!!

[pseudo rivet]

Oh yeah true

[buoyant iron]

just turn your head upside down

[unique storm]

20 hours by flight, which have a lot of limited space makes prices spike to the highest bidder in terms of shipping basically

You always have the option by boat from EU, but that takes 2 months

[inland hamlet]

holy shit

[pseudo rivet]

I'd rather have it take longer than pay more, tbh

Speaking of EU

This Dutch shop still sells them, I believe

https://www.coolshop.nl/product/s-t-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chernobyl-ultimate-edition/23NQ49/

[silk vessel]

As someone who has my interest piqued but never played any stalker game, how stupid would it be for 2 to be my first

[pseudo rivet]

If you're alright with the shipping costs, that is

[pseudo rivet]

Not that bad, but any experience from the Trilogy is welcome

Both new and old will experience new things

[dim knot]

Hey everyone 🙂 maybe someone can give me an answer here

I preordered S2 as well

Am i right that i (or everyone else) might NOT get a steelbook case?

I mean damn it we are paying a lot of money or?

[raven laurel]

I don’t think it will be stupid, the devs would have taken into account the amount of time passed since the trilogy and Stalker 2. You could play Stalker 2 without any prior knowledge

[unique storm]

Much appreciated! The ultimate edition together with all the logistics of bringing it down here will sadly have to be a pass for me however. As much as I'd love to get hold of it, I think I'll just have to accept that Amazon wanted to ruin my day and instead hope for a miracle that something more locally becomes available

[silk vessel]

Eye sea, thanks yall

[raven laurel]

If you ordered before the reprint then you are guaranteed a steelbook, after the reprint it could be plastic or steel

[buoyant iron]

paying 400aud just to get the collector edition

[raven laurel]

Rip AU stalkers

[stiff leaf]

yeah i did that LMAO i'd rather secure my copy and wait then not get it at all tbh

[dim knot]

Kind of a cheekiness

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, that's absolutely fair

[buoyant iron]

well it isnt a big loss for me, thank god for paypal having a pay in 4 feature so be paying like $100 every 2 weeks

[unique storm]

Where did you actually source yours?

[raven laurel]

Honestly I’d just be happy to be able to get the physical editions, some countries have it rough with very limited access

[buoyant iron]

got it from here https://finalbossbundle.com/products/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl-reprint since it an american site, low key dont trust euro sites and their delivery fees

[dim knot]

Yes it is a shame… I ordered it anyway.
Then I hope I will get a steelbook :/

[raven laurel]

Nice! Now we wait

[unique storm]

Thanks! I'll take a look. Lets pray the reprint gets the steel case!

[inland hamlet]

me who has a surgery 2 days before the game starts T_T

[raven laurel]

You might wake up as Monolit

[inland hamlet]

i hope so !

[buoyant iron]

it says it gets a steelbook on the webpage hopeful we get it

[stiff leaf]

i hope your surgery goes well 🙂

[inland hamlet]

thanks 🙂 got a nasty ingrown nail :C

[pseudo rivet]

Good luck with the surgery dude

[loud perch]

Hey guys, hope yall have a great day!

What does code in a box mean on the new physical editions? I won't get a code at launch, only in april with the delivery? 🤔

[stiff leaf]

you'll get a digital key on launch 🙂

[raven laurel]

For the reprint, you will receive a code via email on launch 🙂

[buoyant iron]

pretty sure you get emailed the steam code and you get the physical box in april

[loud perch]

okay thats sweet, it was just really confusing

[pseudo rivet]

Digital key on launch, goodies somewhere in April 2025

[buoyant iron]

💀 imagine waiting til april so you get your game code printed on paper

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be wild

[buoyant iron]

that be some ebay tomfoolery

[loud perch]

haha true - thanks a lot 😎

[prisma narwhal]

When do y'all think the review embargo will be lifted? Has there been any official info?

[inland hamlet]

i guess 1 day before launch ?

[stiff leaf]

[ocean condor]

[hardy turtle]

12 days holy poop I'm so hyped bought a 4070 ti super just to play this MAXXXED OUT

[worthy lagoon]

You'll be fine

[blissful peak]

Hello people

[limber current]

😒😒

[jaunty pebble]

Probably around next week Wednesday

Or at the worst, Monday 2 weeks later

[brave mantle]

On the first look i thought the #📺┃media ping said "penis stalker"

[tacit otter]

Samesies

It does say Reliz, not sure how that translates. I can read it, can't understand it.

[ashen frigate]

Can you still digitally pre-order till the release or is there a date where u cant pre-order anymore?

[brave mantle]

My guess is it's just "release"

[tacit otter]

Yeah, right after STALKER 2 it says 'optimizatiya' or optimization

followed by multiplayer, then 'Ukraine spiln(?)'

[broken latch]

@exotic silo don't advertise stuff here

[tired zealot]

Unlucky

on a side note I just wanna say I am FIENDING to play some stalker 2, the last time I counted days was christmas when I was a kid lol

[jaunty pebble]

Yes, you can still pre order digitally. The Physical Pre-order will stop getting ADDITIONAL BATCHES after November 10th

[tired zealot]

im Tempted to buy a physical Edition, I did get a Boon of money lately, but like ehhh its not the best use of money

[jaunty pebble]

If you really want to and accept that your currently ordered Physical edition will arrive on April 2025(the code will be sent to you on release)

[tired zealot]

oh wow it takes that long?? well my birthday is in april lol it could be like a present to my future self

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, the current refreshing batches will be shipped on April 2025

[tired zealot]

I probably wont though, I would love an artifact container lamp in my room though I wonder if theres a way to get that fanmade, GSC should honestly sell that seperaptely I want cool stalker decor in my room

[jaunty pebble]

Any pre order before the 4th of this month will come in release date

[hardy bear]

That’s actually a really good idea in suggestions, a proper photo mode akin to tsushima’s perhaps would go so hard

[sour goblet]

i havent paid attention to the lamp, which artifact is in the container? is it a flash or something?

[bitter wave]

I only wanted the lamp and backpack but didn’t want to spend 350€ on it, so I would love it to if they sell it separately

[sour goblet]

would be nice if there was some merchandise every once in a while

[bitter wave]

Or something like that yeah

[sour goblet]

they could open a little online store and restock on stalker stuff sometimes

[normal bobcat]

anyone here know if the MSI Keyboard and Mouse bundle is worth it?

[bitter wave]

Someone unpacked it here or in an other chat wait ..

[sly matrix]

the lighting effect on that keyboard is amusing

[bitter wave]

Looks rly nice but not easy to get 😂

[normal bobcat]

I'll have to talk to my father about it before I go spending the money on it

[sour goblet]

im pretty sure you can control it through an app or something

[sly matrix]

correct

[sour goblet]

im so smart

[crisp ruin]

[sly matrix]

damn straight

[normal bobcat]

MSI Center

[hardy bear]

Worth is subjective anyway

[normal bobcat]

I need a new keyboard and mouse anyway

[sour goblet]

its probably decent and if its that bad you can just customize it

[sly matrix]

at that point you might as well consider it yeah

[normal bobcat]

If I could I'd go for the 4070 too but thats a bit steep imo

[flint ravine]

Evening

[normal bobcat]

hello

[flint ravine]

How's it going? :>

[bitter wave]

Morning 😂

[normal bobcat]

Its alright

not doing too much atm

[uncut gulch]

Hey guys. I just pre ordered a physical edition for pc. I was wondering if anyone knows if it will come with a code to download the game cuz while I bought a physical edition I don't have a disc drive on my pc. I assume it will come with a code but it doesn't say so on the website so I wasn't sure.

[normal bobcat]

it comes with a code

[bleak crescent]

would it be stupid of me to buy the stalker 2 physical preorder for the stalker dog tag etc. (i already bought the digital preorder)

[uncut gulch]

Siiiiick. Thank you I was worried about it lol

[flint ravine]

Seen the Expedition 33 trailers? Game looks like pure fire.

[normal bobcat]

#📜┃gsc-answers message more info

[bitter wave]

Why not if you have the money do it

[sour goblet]

i seriously did not expect an underbarrel shotgun

thats either imported through the black market, ward or the military

[normal bobcat]

I find it funny they put a M26 Mass shotgun on the underside of a sniper

[pale thicket]

You can gift one code to some friend

[sour goblet]

pretty smart imo, good for close range and long range

[normal bobcat]

true

[bleak crescent]

ahhhh it doesnt ship to saudi arabia

[sour goblet]

although it puts a gap in medium range

[nimble cipher]

adabayoo has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[crisp ruin]

[sour goblet]

get wolf'd

[crisp ruin]

watch your profanity

[bleak crescent]

bs for it not to ship to saudi arabia

[crisp ruin]

[hardy bear]

Now we just need to put a sniper under the barrel of a sniper

[sour goblet]

[normal bobcat]

underbarrel NTW-20

[sour goblet]

underbarrel sniper scope

just flip the gun upside down

[normal bobcat]

Underbarrel sniper scope attached to underbarrel sniper scope

wait lemme fix that

[sour goblet]

double the magnification

[normal bobcat]

could you imagine being standing idle and some STALKER comes walking through with a gun that has 6 scopes on the underside of his gun all linked to eachother

[sour goblet]

vertically or horizontally

[normal bobcat]

horizontally, vertically, canted left, canted right, vertically and horizontally

[sour goblet]

so basically the gp37 scopes except x2

[normal bobcat]

yes

[sour goblet]

perfect

[normal bobcat]

Now put the scopes on the underside of a pistol and no stalker or mutant will want to approach you as they'll sense danger

[tacit otter]

I unironically bought the ultimate for the lamp. I also know I'm getting the keyboard for my birthday (in December) because I can't justify the cost, but my girlfriend knows how much I love the series.

[sour goblet]

now shoot it with the "Gangsta Grip"

W

[normal bobcat]

make it worse by having it attached to a piece of garbage handgun i.e zip22 or hi-point

[sour goblet]

wait are there any new pistols

[normal bobcat]

no idea

[sour goblet]

imma search it up and send it in #📸┃screens_and_videos

[normal bobcat]

I hope they kept the Kora 919

M1911 my beloved

[sour goblet]

we havent seen much from pistols, i hope they're more reliable and available because they just become useless after a certain point

[late yarrow]

Nah I can’t wait for that damn lamp. I just ordered recently so I won’t get mine until April 😵‍💫. Can’t wait for the videos roll out of people that get it all earlier. I would like to see the real stuff, the photos on these websites look weird and it’s hard to judge what the items actually look like

[sour goblet]

on the topic of pistols
@normal bobcat (sorry for the ping if you were doing something)
what do you think is a pistol that would fit great into the stalker universe?

[edgy isle]

pistols will have a dedicated slot, so although less usefull than big guns, some pistol always will be there for you as a backup weapon of last hope

from footage it is clear that there will be two inventory slots for big guns, and one additional slot for pisol.

[sour goblet]

i like using pistols to clear the less dangerous mutants

[rose apex]

Would we be able to romance stalkers on traders in s2 🤔 ??

[sour goblet]

💀

[edgy isle]

the point is, this time you don't need to sacrifice wapon slots for pistol, so their usefullness doesn't matter that much.

[edgy isle]

sidorovich is always there for you, baby

[earnest bear]

Did stalker ever had a Romance mechanic for anything other than snorks and blood suckers? Which want to give kisses almost constantly

[sour goblet]

i didnt have much of a problem with that, if i really needed another gun i'd just keep it in my inventory and equip it when im not being shot at or mauled

[rose apex]

But who doesn't want bloodsuckers to suck on those lips..XD..!!

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/water-spray-stop-sprinkle-water-gif-11895255

[sour goblet]

i can see why monolith is a faction now, they must be thankful for the bloodsuckers

[verbal delta]

hey guys do you know anything about the optimization? i can run rdr2 on max details with raytracing on over 60 fps and same for dying light 2 in full hd with 3070 idk if im gonna be able to run stalker 2 on max

[sour goblet]

minimum is 1040 with ssd

actually idk if you need an ssd for minimum (could be for maximum)

[marsh cliff]

Ya mean 1060 right ?

[sour goblet]

yeah my bad

[solid dome]

On 20th of November, we are getting REBORN, forging our path as the uncanny hero, Skif

** 12 DAYS REMAIN!**

[marsh cliff]

So far The SSD requirement is understandable tho
But the rest seem too good to be true

But maybe GSC can surprise me

[limber current]

Min Requirements doesn’t seems too demanding

[solid dome]

In roughly 280-ish hours, we lose our digital virginity TWICE in ONE playthrough!

Krettin on the morning/evening HYPEH-POSTAH

[sour goblet]

gsc is a master at optimization, i feel like they could make AAAA games compatible with decent pc builds

the quadruple a wasnt a mistake

[rare garden]

Does anyone know if we will be able to choose a starting faction, so that each playthrough can be different based on your faction?? 🤔

Or maybe a NG+ feature?

[solid dome]

You do so along the way, pick and go kinda thang

[sour goblet]

i believe we could side with factions

[sour goblet]

like clear sky? i didnt know that

[solid dome]

We can

[rare garden]

Ok so you start neutral and then work you way through - makes sense

[solid dome]

Deffo, deffo. You go from miserable cvnt to EL PATRON!

Master Chef Skif, no SKIPF

We ballin' @ Chornobyl

[sour goblet]

gsc is also a master at making factions, i was struggling to pick a faction other than loners for a good few days, i think it took me a week and then some to pick clear sky, after that i moved to freedom

[solid dome]

You 2 got 10 bottles of extra copium on the side? @sour goblet @rare garden

[sour goblet]

copium? for what

this game is exceeding my expectations already, im 100% sure its going to be a great game
(although my standards are low lmao)

[solid dome]

Breathin.... you'll need it

You dont want to crumble near the ferris wheel chased by whatever you brought along the way AT PITCH BLACK AND YOUR GUN JAMMED

Run for shits!

[rare garden]

I played the original trilogy and also the fan mods, so I'm 200% in!

Looking so much forward to this! 😁

[sour goblet]

i was always terrified of my gun jamming while fighting mutants in the dark, almost pissed my self forreal

[solid dome]

We lock'd, stock'd and our barrels be smokin'

[leaden stratus]

Will there be multi in stalker 2? because steam writes it's single

[solid dome]

Post release, yus

[boreal mica]

Yes, but later.

[wheat shell]

GOTY

[solid dome]

Forget about multi-ing, you go solo on them bastardinos full speed ahead

[solid dome]

GOTC

[sour goblet]

the only reason i wouldnt wanna play stalker 2 would probably be because of the night now that its more realistic, full on horror game

[leaden stratus]

i wonder tho how multi would work with all the factions all in war with each other

[solid dome]

Standard modes & whatever its in the oven

[sour goblet]

i forgot how to spell realistic for a second

[wheat shell]

What the hell is that mean?

[stiff leaf]

took three days off work to have a looooooong weekend just to embrace this game. my body is so ready

[solid dome]

GAME

OF

THE

CENTURY

[sour goblet]

game of the century

[wheat shell]

Ahh

[solid dome]

NO CAP

[boreal mica]

I was playing CS mult yesterday, you can go check it because it probably will be looking the same.

[sour goblet]

im surprised stalker doesnt have more fans, this is an awesome game series

[crisp ruin]

[sour goblet]

cant wait for :smile_skif:

[crisp ruin]

and my boi Richter...

[leaden stratus]

because it's single player

[distant egret]

Who knows why Sidorovich's sticker appears after trying to pre-order the physical edition? Please, answer this question

[leaden stratus]

like wither 3 was an awesome game as well but also single player

[sour goblet]

there are many singleplayer games that are more popular

[leaden stratus]

meanwhile cs2, LoL, tarkov all multies

thats why they are popular

[crisp ruin]

What EA said years ago, "Single Player Gaming is dead", look who is laughing now

[sour goblet]

always love me some singleplayer minecraft

[leaden stratus]

heroes 3 best single player:)

[solid dome]

Ask Molit

[sour goblet]

i think its because sold out

[boreal mica]

Technical works on the site.

[sour goblet]

nvm

[leaden stratus]

why is tarkov more popular that stalker when i never heard anything remotely good about tarkov, even from tarkov players

[solid dome]

Because its trend-setting shit

[sour goblet]

i have scratches all over my hands because of playing with my kot, im gonna have to wear gloves before i can play stalker 2

[subtle crane]

Man..

[granite mortar]

What popular game do you hear good stuff about?

[subtle crane]

Dirge for the planet has to be the opening theme cinematic in the game and in the main menu pls guys

[sour goblet]

none

[astral chasm]

Deep rock galactic)

[boreal mica]

I hope for mooze - radwind ingame

[granite mortar]

Wouldnt call it popular
It sure is PEAK tho

[edgy isle]

Skif aka Eugene Martynenko

[astral chasm]

Well, 5+ million copies sold)
Pretty popular

[subtle crane]

That too

[solid dome]

0 chances

[granite mortar]

Its a lot, dont get me wrong
But popular games usually have either tens of millions of players of at least 10 million sold copies
Or lot of active players

[limpid oracle]

Does anybody know if my laptop will run stalker 2. 13th gen intell i7-13700H, 32 GB of DDR 5 ram, 1T SSD, Geforce RTX 4060 what you think guys.

[granite mortar]

Yes

[sour goblet]

gsc has 10x less employees and they are making a game that is more optimized than cod and reaches the same graphical fidelity as them

gsc is simply peak

[astral chasm]

Okay, helldivers 2)
Heard lots of great stuff at the beginning and recently)

[boreal mica]

No, you have to change for 1060, it's minimum...

[granite mortar]

Because GSC cares
Big devs dont

[solid dome]

Chances you hear MoozE compositions in Stalker 2 are as lower as seeing Carmen Electra cutscene in the very same game

[sour goblet]

WE

[granite mortar]

Oh yeah
Good point

[solid dome]

Counterpoint we have no audioingame, whatcha think?

[boreal mica]

I mean no soundtrack would be fine with me.

[leaden stratus]

yeah i never heard anyone ever saying anything bad on DRG

[solid dome]

Chadowski

[leaden stratus]

not that DRG is that popular tho

[celest blaze]

thats not it at all

[solid dome]

Deep Cock Galactic, here we go

[limpid oracle]

@boreal mica what you mean I’ve got a 4060 ?

[edgy isle]

nah, let it be just electronic/ambient stuff and postpunk in radios

[celest blaze]

the last stalker game was made like 14 years ago

[leaden stratus]

diablo 4...

[boreal mica]

Yep, and the minimal is 1060, it's posted on the steam and on the site.

[sour goblet]

the only thing i dislike is how the enemies fall backwards, it doesnt even feel like you kill them, it feels like they're just actors

[boreal mica]

You won't run it

[astral chasm]

Heard a lot of bad stuff about it
Also is it that popular?

[urban pivot]

how do i work the rf transmitter

[granite mortar]

The what?

[celest blaze]

4060 wont run stalker 2 ?

[sour goblet]

i seriously cant tell if this is a joke or serious but its funny both ways

[astral chasm]

4060 is better than 2070

[celest blaze]

ask in the gamma or anomaly server that isnt a canon thing

[boreal mica]

No, you have to have at least 1060.

[celest blaze]

oh 100%

[leaden stratus]

the only reason i'm not preordering Stalker 2 is because it wont run on my 10 years old PC, i need to upgrade it 1st which is costy

[astral chasm]

2070 is recommended, so you should be fine

[celest blaze]

4060 WILL run stalker 2 lol

[solid dome]

How bouta 1660?

[celest blaze]

thats a current gen card

[boreal mica]

It won't, it's not the 8 years card listed as minimum.

Guys what's the wrong with you

[sour goblet]

please tell me you're joking lmao

[astral chasm]

I have a laptop with 4060, and I worry a little bit
However I can run cyberpunk with some rtx and have stable 60 fpa
Couldn't do this on a previous laptop with 2070, so

[celest blaze]

whats wrong with me? the 4060 is NOT the 1060 you need to read what i am saying

[solid dome]

1660?

[boreal mica]

Of course it will run

[astral chasm]

Does it even has 8 GB of Vram?

[boreal mica]

Of course you will have lot of fun

[solid dome]

No, its 6

[leaden stratus]

Blizzard games are popular even tho blizzard is more or less dead and D4 DLC is a money grabber only

[worn oar]

Krezzing

[solid dome]

We crayzeeeeeeeeeeenning

[sour goblet]

so.. will we be able to buy a gauss rifle for 800 roubles in stalker 2 though?

[limpid oracle]

I’m confused now

[boreal mica]

Don't bother with bad thoughts that you won't run the game, you have great rigs and in less thant two weeks you'll have a lot of fun

[solid dome]

Tell me my GPU will run it without telling me

[worn oar]

Hyping crazying

[astral chasm]

Then I doubt
But will see. Probably min settings will be fine

[solid dome]

Hyping Grossling

[celest blaze]

the 4060 runs warhammer 40k fine it will run stalker 2

[solid dome]

BRUH

[boreal mica]

Guys I was joking.

[worn oar]

Abt what?

[solid dome]

Yall ruining lives rn

[astral chasm]

No Roubles
Coupons.

[leaden stratus]

my Intel i5-4460 3.2 Ghz cant even run supermario not stalker 2...

[boreal mica]

4060 is perfectly fine.

[celest blaze]

oh my bad

[limpid oracle]

@celest blaze thanks 👍🏻

[worn oar]

It can run supermanio, unless it's a new AAA title I missed lmao

On UE5 ofc

[sour goblet]

honestly i think if you edited a photo of stalker 2 gameplay without the gun, anomalies and mutants i wouldnt be able distinguish it from real life

[celest blaze]

god now i want a ue5 mario game

[boreal mica]

Some of the Pripyat shots are like this.

[celest blaze]

or super mario 64 remade in UE5

[boreal mica]

But it's because color scale.

[astral chasm]

Definitely
If min specs is 2070, 4060 is very much enough

[sour goblet]

reminds me a lot of living here in bulgaria, i was obsessed with stalker as soon as i picked it up because it felt like i was playing just in my backyard

[sand fiber]

pseudoregalia 🥰

[boreal mica]

2070 is recommended, min is 1060

[leaden stratus]

We need a supermario movie

[astral chasm]

Oh, yeah, I meant minimum recommended, lol

[boreal mica]

So I don't get why people having 4060 are asking if they will run it.

[sour goblet]

im pretty sure some of the first mods after release will be ui changes

[leaden stratus]

not fair that only that blue monster gets his movie

[sour goblet]

there is a mario movie

its just that chris pratt (the guy from the guardians of the galaxy) is voicing mario

[leaden stratus]

if only blizzard would make cinematics not games this world would be much better

they were always good at making good cinematics that was 10000x better than their actual game

[sour goblet]

im pretty sure gsc could just make a movie with their engine now

[leaden stratus]

i like those fanmade warhammer 40k and stalker videos too

[limpid oracle]

@boreal mica cuz my one is a laptop 4060

[boreal mica]

I have 3050 laptop and I'll still run it.

He should pin it in the announcements too.

[worthy lagoon]

People still wouldn't check it

only %1 of those questions gonna be "weird ones"

[worthy lagoon]

It doesn't matter where you write it, people are too lazy to actually search it up

[hardy turtle]

hype thru the roof, can't even focus on my job lmao

[boreal mica]

Do you think anybody will read it? Most of the questions in #📜┃ask-gsc can be answered just by looking on the stalker2.com

[hardy turtle]

thank the monolith I work remotely, I'd be doing fugg all at the office rn

[pseudo rivet]

Or common sense

[sour goblet]

my only question since ive joined the server is
"Will we be able to kill Sultan in Stalker 2 Heart of Chornobyl?" or somethin similar

people don't read pins either

[boreal mica]

Plenty of them don't research at all

[boreal mica]

They don't even know it exists

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but that's not that big of a problem. We can just tell people some stuff are in the pinned comments

[boreal mica]

My work here is done, now time to play stalker 2.

[heavy flume]

I would just like to give GOG a big up, as I regretted only buying the standard version, so I requested a refund so I could get the ultimate edition & all sorted within 30 minutes. #wellchuffed

[pseudo rivet]

Right

GOG being zased as always

[boreal mica]

Classic GOG, reliable and fair.

[pseudo rivet]

@worthy lagoon
By the way, I'mma delete that pinned comment of my joke, seen how it's not actually useful or significant or anything

[sour goblet]

its 100% useful

[pseudo rivet]

Not exactly

[dense hatch]

yet this incorrect theory is on there

[pseudo rivet]

Not exactly. It was a sort of a game around here and I managed to figure it out. That's the answer of the speculation the game was based around

[dense hatch]

lame

[fossil pilot]

is it possible to play modded stalker without buying the original game from steam?

[celest blaze]

why wouldnt you wanna play the og games

[dense hatch]

do you mean the trilogy with mods or just mods relating to stalker

[fossil pilot]

without mods you mean?

[sour goblet]

yes

[dense hatch]

there's some standalone mods but nothing that's just the trilogy without owning the trilogy

[celest blaze]

its recommended to play the trilogy before you play any mods

[dense hatch]

most mods assume a basic level of game knowledge and competence

[sour goblet]

if you play modded before trilogy most of the community will want to maul you with fangs and everything

[loud gate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laYlzyB6ECU

On official channel too

[celest blaze]

its just cuz they ask the most basic questions they you'd know if you played the real games lol

[delicate vector]

are we getting fully replaceable gun parts like that one anomaly mod

[fossil pilot]

ok but theres like a week till 2

[inland granite]

Ngl i expected more depth for gun modifications

[celest blaze]

then thats your fault lol

[inland granite]

Since we don't have a lot of guns available for Stalker 2 to begin with

[celest blaze]

if you played the canon games and not gamma slop

[delicate vector]

mods will fix this in a few weeks at most

[blissful dome]

Lol no don't you're fine

[fossil pilot]

so lets say i want to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. and i want to mod it straight away, do i need the original steam version?

[inland granite]

Either lots of guns or more in depth gun customaztions you know

[granite mortar]

GOG on their way to be the best shop (they also discount games that the devs would never discount themselves, such as Spore)

[delicate vector]

god forbid someone play the game how they like...

[inland granite]

Oh i really looking for this too yep

[dire dagger]

They just dropping new trailers like crazy bruh

[celest blaze]

being disappointed because stalker 2 doesnt have gun bloat like anomaly and gamma? get real

[dire dagger]

These guys are nutters

[blissful dome]

There might only be the steam version but I'm pretty sure your able to mod other versioms of it if you find the local files

[dense hatch]

didn't we just get this exact trailer

[exotic mural]

Is there a weapon in the zone I can use named the Mosin Nagant?

[dense hatch]

you do need the game to play the game

[sand fiber]

just don't

[delicate vector]

bloat is when more in depth gunplay.. stalker is so moddable for a reason

[gaunt siren]

heartbreaking

[exotic mural]

Just play vanilla first gang

[sand fiber]

vanilla+ mods suck, either play vanilla or leave it

[celest goblet]

It was exclusive to IGN for a day but yes

[celest blaze]

wrong

[bold aspen]

will there be mods that help pvp ?

[indigo marsh]

On IGN but this is for the stalker official YouTube channel.

[exotic mural]

What pvp.

[dense hatch]

I was excited for a moment

[blissful dome]

I mean you could just put a reshape on it, I don't think there's anything you could do to make it look fantastic tho

[celest blaze]

gamma and anomaly have rotted peoples minds

[bold aspen]

they said some about pvp being added

[boreal mica]

You mean cheats?

[dense hatch]

probably the TDM

[blissful dome]

There's pvp coming out too

[bold aspen]

^^

[dense hatch]

stalker 2 launches with a multiplayer cheat menu

[exotic mural]

Stalker 2 gunplay looks so much better than the first games

[delicate vector]

you sound like one of these people that get mad if you dont play on the highest difficulty with pure vanilla gameplay

[ancient haven]

Anomaly aint that far from the trilogy

Gamma on the other hand...

[bold aspen]

cheating in stalker seems odd but oiiik

[wheat shell]

i never expected to see this if Sniper rifle works with weapon underbarrel

[exotic mural]

Because the bullets go where you point them :D

[indigo marsh]

Multiplayer will launch some time after the game releases

[blissful dome]

Anyone excited for that pre-order vss? Thing looks crazy

[exotic mural]

Playing stalker, aiming dead at a duty soldier's head, shoot, bulley goes 5 meters to the left of him

[loud urchin]

the guy playing in the smoking barrels trailer IS NOT a gamer lmao

[dense hatch]

it's a trailer

[patent mortar]

Eh good enough for me.

[dense hatch]

of course the dude isn't moving like he's on percocets

[exotic mural]

Bolt action rifles in stalker 2

But I see no mosin?

Surely they are waiting until final trailer haha.

[sour goblet]

going into mods before the trilogy is usually like going into a harder version of the games blind
going into mods before the trilogy can just spoil the entire story for you
going into mods before the trilogy is ok if you just want to enjoy an experience and dont care about people who will complain about you having fun

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/laughter-worried-tf2-video-game-gif-16491024

[loud urchin]

ik ik i just thought it was a funny take XD.

[inland granite]

Why are you even automatically assuming that i'm speaking that i wanted more in depth gun modification based on gamma or anomaly

[inland granite]

Oh hey bro

[exotic mural]

Maybe they have just forgotten to showcase the mosin which is strange considering how much work they have surely put into it yes?

[dense hatch]

because those are the primary culprits like 86% of the time, not including tarkov or Arma

[patent mortar]

I like how people talks about the guns but never the drip. @glossy blade Looking forward to the new exo designs.

[pseudo rivet]

...Uh-huh

[pseudo rivet]

We've already seen them

[patent mortar]

Sus yo. Never thought you'd be here as well.

[exotic mural]

You know what we haven't seen?

[patent mortar]

I only see one image from stalker wiki.

[pseudo rivet]

Uh, one sec, I'mma grab le trailer

[inland granite]

Stalker has been my best game since SoC came out so naturally i'm here too

[exotic mural]

😡

[exotic mural]

Grab mosin nagant fully textured and modeled too please

[granite mortar]

We havent seen a good old reliable rifle
Just like..
||Vz 24 ||

[pseudo rivet]

https://youtu.be/Z5TmiZUOosE?t=186

[patent mortar]

Neat. This is my side hustle right here. Been playing modded stalkers for months now and I'm starting to forget all the original stuffs.

[inland granite]

Well i don't even want some gamma and anomaly stuff i just want more in depth gun modificiations you see, because we have much fewer weapons in Stalker 2 than CoP even, that CoP being total like 38 weapons available

[patent mortar]

Isn't that a WW2 bolt action rifle like Mosin?

[granite mortar]

Modrot alarm!

[exotic mural]

Close enough welcome back kar98k

[granite mortar]

No
Its older than that
Its knockoff Kar 98

[patent mortar]

Lmao

[granite mortar]

I get german gun names confused

[dense hatch]

I'm fairly sure that list counts uniques in CoP, which are by and far not really unique

[mossy pollen]

Is the the ultimate physical edition just not available at all in Asia or Oceana?

[pseudo rivet]

Beware the Modrot Pipeline

[exotic mural]

Kar 98? Like the gun from pubg?

[dense hatch]

the only actually unique one is the chopper

[indigo marsh]

24 hours daily of pure vanilla can help cure major mod rot. Vanilla CS for a few minutes can cure minor cases.

[inland granite]

No that count is excluding uniques like honorary PM and SG550 arrow

[pseudo rivet]

It should be, but perhaps they're sold out? Any stores in your country that sells them?

[loud urchin]

from the trailers dead city is def in the game right? so mercs...

[exotic mural]

Day 1 mosin patch (they forgor to add it)

[patent mortar]

Why CS though?

[pseudo rivet]

Which trailer?

[granite mortar]

Modrot is one of Stalker chaos gods powers
If you succumb to god known as Gorkler he will modrot your brain

[pseudo rivet]

Because CS is peak

[boreal mica]

They'll add mosin but they won't add ammo to mosin

[granite mortar]

Thats Chernobyl 2

[indigo marsh]

Because CS is the best

[pseudo rivet]

It'll be a melee weapon

[exotic mural]

Melee weapon

[granite mortar]

Mosin uses same ammo as SVD

[mossy pollen]

Not that I can see and the announcement about the physical edition only mentioned the Americas and EU

[dense hatch]

that includes grenades, I just counted

[sour goblet]

we need some more timeless weapons still being used in war

[inland granite]

Yep including grenades

[exotic mural]

So its confirmed then. Easy.

[boreal mica]

Have you seen SVD on trailers?

[granite mortar]

Yes

[dense hatch]

it's over

[exotic mural]

yeah I playtested it has it

[pseudo rivet]

Hmm, then I'm afraid it's not available

[patent mortar]

Ah this trailer that pisses off dooty members

[boreal mica]

Ggggghhhhhhrrrrr

[patent mortar]

Because Rostok is now under Freedom control.

[nimble cipher]

b18c5 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[pseudo rivet]

Because Freedom based

[limpid oracle]

What did the stalker say to the other stalker… nothing they’re all dead.

[exotic mural]

rather freedom than dookie

[granite mortar]

Man I hope GSC revives Dead City and makes it a Freedom outpost like in early OL desdocs

[acoustic prism]

whats the story about the new stalker game

[sour goblet]

ward is the next duty

[exotic mural]

[granite mortar]

Youre a stalker
And you stalk some monolith grandpa

[sour goblet]

woah new artifact

[pseudo rivet]

Looks like Pripyat, tbh

[granite mortar]

War is Duty but not gay because they wear proper pants instead of tight latex ones

[loud urchin]

you gonna make me crash out

[dense hatch]

is the zone expanding or just a strange anomaly generated a little too far

[inland granite]

Anomalies starting to apear out side of the zone and our protagonist investigating that

[granite mortar]

I hope Mercs arent in the game

[sour goblet]

aw man i wanted to see some buff guy as- i mean uhh i wanted to see uhh cool outfit yeah

[loud urchin]

how dare they not put my larp faction in the game!

how many gay people are in the zone? trick question, they're all gay

[loud urchin]

dead city is kinda fire doe with or without mercs

[acoustic prism]

its interesting that the zone is expanding

[acoustic prism]

it will now reach europe hahaha

[sour goblet]

it is in europe

[granite mortar]

Theres more gay people in the Zone than theres people

[acoustic prism]

imagine electric anomaly running on the paris tower

burner anomalies on the eiffel tower just like real life

[inland granite]

Zone being expanding has been there since the very start which is in SoC i believe

[magic reef]

God i hate phone keyboard

[inland granite]

I don't think zone expanding is same as anomalies starting to pop out outside of the zone

[acoustic prism]

do you think that the zone can pass through the ocean

[pseudo rivet]

Well, not by that much. Only thing pointing towards it is an anomaly past the Perimeter, but yes, it's definitely expanding

[sour goblet]

nemo artifact

[acoustic prism]

and expand until americans

[loud urchin]

teenage mutant ninja turtles

[pseudo rivet]

That or someone decided it'd be funny to ge-ne-ra-te an anomaly beyond the Perimeter

yisssh mutated sharks

[patent mortar]

Btw any new artifacts?

[pseudo rivet]

[magic reef]

Shark people

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[acoustic prism]

or mutated eels

[sour goblet]

i think so

[celest blaze]

theoretically the zone could expand until it takes over the world but GSC aint doing that

[pseudo rivet]

Check #📰┃announcement

[acoustic prism]

what kinda name is magic cube

[sour goblet]

goldsphere artifact in stalker 2

[patent mortar]

brb gonna get my Svarog

[wooden imp]

it could expand to its atmosphere but not space

[acoustic prism]

people run out of ideas to call artifacts

[magic reef]

Sun Anomaly when?

[pseudo rivet]

Well uh... Satellites that fly over the Zone spontaneously combust, so uh

[sour goblet]

mol1t artifact

[loud urchin]

stalker 3 will b set on the moon

[acoustic prism]

its kinda scary that the zone is expanding

[celest blaze]

aliens getting hit by a random anomaly lol

[wooden imp]

stalker 4 will be in Afghanistan in 1979

[sour goblet]

there are anomalies in the atmosphere i think

[loud urchin]

omg

[acoustic prism]

itll be horrible to see germany covered in anomalies and mutants

[granite mortar]

The sun sets in the wrong direction in the games iirc

[pseudo rivet]

It's why Operation Fairway was a failure

[sour goblet]

i dont actually think the anomalies can get out of earth (because the noosphere is a layer of earth)

its probably up to the noosphere

[acoustic prism]

you guys rather have a new map for the stalker?

[loud urchin]

no more logic ,i want sun anomalies

[acoustic prism]

lets say it expand to germany

[patent mortar]

Based Degtyarev rejected promotion. He could've been a General by now.

[magic reef]

It should be both old and new

[patent mortar]

Man got priorities straight.

[loud urchin]

of course

[sour goblet]

he didnt reject promotion, he wanted to remain as a military stalker, that means he is probably a general in the zone

[acoustic prism]

its kinda tiring to see the zone 4 different times

[wooden imp]

ghost of Kyiv in stalker 2

[patent mortar]

Pretty sure he did.

[static compass]

So every gun has a unique jam animation, that's definitely cooler than "Your gun has jammed, reload"

[granite mortar]

Its nearly new
Like yeah, it features old locations but they were all reworked, and they only make small portion of the map

[acoustic prism]

yeah im all for new graphics

[magic reef]

Damn it, electric anomaly just turned the lights off for the whole district

[sour goblet]

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE END OF CoP

||As a reward for successfully completing his investigation, Degtyarev was offered a promotion to Colonel and a position of mission coordinator. He declined the opportunity and submitted a personal request to be sent to the Zone as the USS permanent observer.||

[acoustic prism]

id like to see sidorovich in U5

[loud urchin]

i hope its just tap r or changable to that, when my gun jams in tarkov i lose it and forget the keybind.

[patent mortar]

Huh

[pseudo rivet]

||Technically, he declined the offer to sit in an office. Whether he got promoted to Colonel or not, we don't know, but we do know he wanted to stay in the Zone and act as a USS Permanent Observer||

[acoustic prism]

man liked the dangers of the zone

[static compass]

I just think it's more realistic to actually clear the jam and keep firing instead of just reloading

[wooden imp]

No he wants to go back to skiff

[granite mortar]

Permanent Observer is weird name for US Navy ship

[patent mortar]

Guess I just forgot as usual because I have modrot apparently. Which I didn't know about until chymo called me out.

[acoustic prism]

who would decline magic stones in the zone anyway

[sour goblet]

nobody rejects a promotion, i doubt degtyarev wouldnt wanna be colonel and a zone dweller

[acoustic prism]

id rather have magic stones than promotions

[loud urchin]

i do like the fact you have to inspect the gun to see what type of jam

[pseudo rivet]

He declined either way

[granite mortar]

No need to thank me
(You definitely should tho)

[sour goblet]

i wonder how many old characters we will get to see, maybe we could go to zaton or jupiter and find degtyarev there too..

[pseudo rivet]

Thus why you should play Vanilla and Vanilla only

Like me!

[wooden imp]

can I eat strider

[pseudo rivet]

Don't ask us, ask him

[patent mortar]

I did. Before jumping into standalone and mods. It's just, I played way too much at this point.

Ask Chymo

[magic reef]

Snork

[pseudo rivet]

He'll likely drop kick you in the face, though

[wooden imp]

but I need to sacrifice him to monolith

[sour goblet]

only the monolith in his pants

[granite mortar]

I hope we meet Flint
So we can settle the scores ourselves this time

[wooden imp]

I’m

[patent mortar]

Fair enough. I'm installing CoP again.

[granite mortar]

Booo
Worst of the trilogy
Shaaaameee

[pseudo rivet]

"I did"
"Before jumping into standalone and mods"

Bro didn't read what I said

[magic reef]

Wtf

[sour goblet]

i liked it, its interesting to see how people developed and how things changed

[granite mortar]

PEAK SKY REIGNS SUPREME

[pseudo rivet]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/561153801114091521/1092159492021563473/ClearSkyMyBeloved.gif

[granite mortar]

Its decent
But definitely the worst of the three

[granite mortar]

Truth

[magic reef]

Clear sky is worst

[sour goblet]

yeah it felt a little too short and some things werent right, like the uniques

[pseudo rivet]

Have you played Clear Sky?

[patent mortar]

Yeah

[acoustic prism]

i would love Degtyarev in stalker 2\

[pseudo rivet]

I'll reiterate

[patent mortar]

It's actually the last game I played few months ago.

[pseudo rivet]

Have you played Clear Sky?

[wooden imp]

4iki bpiki

[magic reef]

It is short,
You complete helicopter missions and then boom! Game end
No endquests, only helicopters

[sour goblet]

if we find the corpse of a former good important character in stalker 2 i will cry

[granite mortar]

Corpse of Gordon Freeman

[sour goblet]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[magic reef]

With super deagle

And finally, a melee weapon

[wooden imp]

when this releases ima be playing it with a rtx 980

[granite mortar]

He has crowbar now
You can put it in knife slot
And use it as throwable

[foggy sage]

It’s confirmed that the game won’t be pushed back again, right? Just preordered the ultimate edition 😄

[granite mortar]

980 is GTX

[sour goblet]

it has a good deal of sidequests which have you get better ending slides for brain feel good juice

[loud urchin]

like a true stalker

[acoustic prism]

yeah i just literally finished clear sky

[magic reef]

Imagine preordering

[wooden imp]

no more pushbacks

[acoustic prism]

my advice just keep moving

[pseudo rivet]

I really doubt it'll get delayed, so don't worry

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[static compass]

Where?

[wooden imp]

brick cat

[loud urchin]

omg cat

[granite mortar]

Eewwwiee
True Stalker mentioned

[static compass]

[magic reef]

"sudden ping in announcements"
"Game gets delayed for 10 more years"

[granite mortar]

🫵

[static compass]

Kot!

[granite mortar]

Omg
Where?

[pseudo rivet]

The more chance it'll be literally peak

That or we'll be dead

[magic reef]

Thats why low expectations is the key

[pseudo rivet]

Absolutely

[static compass]

[pseudo rivet]

For I have none

[sour goblet]

some things in clear sky pisses me off, like the chase scene where it ends in an ambush, its just there for dragging the story and has no other reason

[magic reef]

People nowadays hype anything

[wooden imp]

dude I just launched my download of stalker clear sky
my average download speed is 150mbps
stalker cs was downloading at 770mbps..

[pseudo rivet]

It's dumb, really

Hype is the first step to disappointment

[granite mortar]

Breaking news
Sergay Sidorovich sold GSC for unlimited supply of Pepsi
Rumors have it that Skif is being replaced with Pepsiman

[magic reef]

Clear sky got the whole plot extremely stupid

[pseudo rivet]

Good deal, tbh

[magic reef]

Scar himself is a dumbass

[static compass]

I got lucky and strelok just stood there and let me blast him

[static compass]

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah nah, Clear Sky is peak

[magic reef]

Why did you draw goggles on yourself

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[magic reef]

I liked mechanics of clear sky

[granite mortar]

To better see your dumb takes

[acoustic prism]

that damn machine gunner at cordon

[magic reef]

Then there is none if you couldn't see it with googles even

[acoustic prism]

spam heals if you want to live

[magic reef]

Rpg-7

[granite mortar]

Theres like 4 in just few minutes

[granite mortar]

[magic reef]

Ohhh the electric anomaly is gone

[patent mortar]

How did Strelok managed to reach CNPP for the first time? Was it because of Guide?

[acoustic prism]

but what i like are the new guns found in clear sky

[magic reef]

Yeah

[static compass]

So many kots

[pseudo rivet]

Unknown

[acoustic prism]

the grenande launcher and the machine gun

[static compass]

I wonder if Skif has a kot

[magic reef]

He was guided by the Zone

[sour goblet]

strelok is just a smartass

[granite mortar]

Kots are great

[magic reef]

A mutated, smoll cute 4 eyed cat with deadly claws

[static compass]

Omg, zone kot

[patent mortar]

So the first time he reached CNPP, it triggers big emission that hits scar. Then we intercepted him. That means in SoC Strelok went to CNPP for the 3rd time.

[burnt tulip]

Morning Stalkers, do you know if we will get the special armor from the first stalker and backpack from preordering the Collectors Edition from Amazon ?

[granite mortar]

Errrmm
Akshuallhy
The helicoptuhs crashed because of anumahlis 🤓

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[magic reef]

Yup

[sour goblet]

what are you talking about

[granite mortar]

Call of Pripyat

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[sour goblet]

yeah thats basically it

i mean there was an anomaly in the air in clear sky

[pseudo rivet]

And CoP

[sour goblet]

you never saw the bridge spacial anomaly?

[pseudo rivet]

Not entirely sure about SoC, though

[sour goblet]

they were probably moved higher up in the air because of emissions before soc

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but that doesn't explain why there are anomalies in the air in CS which is before SoC

[sour goblet]

i hope that didnt spoil some things for people

[pseudo rivet]

I highly doubt it

[sour goblet]

mind you its already been a few years since the zone has been alive and kicking in the events of clear sky, i wouldnt doubt it that anomalies were starting to form in the air after the first few years

[dense hatch]

engine limitations

there's one that catches a helicopter in the CNPP but that's it

[pseudo rivet]

Obviously

[indigo marsh]

I feel like he would have brought more reform and renewal to the organization if he did become a general.

[pseudo rivet]

The choppers being able to reach the Zone's center the first time is already interesting, not to mention them doing the same in 2011 and 2012

[patent mortar]

Yeah, the military is too corrupt in the current setting. Excluding the special forces like Degtyarev and soldiers who participated in Operation Fairway.

[dense hatch]

it's a weird plot contrivance

[magic reef]

I feel like they rewrite some stuff either way

[sour goblet]

major degtyarev probably made a lot of the forces leave the zone and stop working against it, since.. you know, he is romantic with the zone sometimes

[dense hatch]

they can get BTRs to the CNPP but apparently helicopters only work sometimes

[pseudo rivet]

I hope we'll see IPSF Military Stalkers

[indigo marsh]

Hopefully they aren't loyal to sircaa/ward

[sour goblet]

there will probably be military stalkers instead of actual military because of the war and you know stubid bolitics

[burnt tulip]

@pseudo rivet thank you! Just wanted to be sure because i preordered the collector more then a year ago and now they are giving more exclusive stuff with the preorder but don't know if it is exclusively from their STALKER Preorder site or also Amazon.. i also saw that Steam preorders give you free profile avatar and background which is something amazon's game preorder doesn't give you 🫤

[pseudo rivet]

And even then, it was luck. Same with their tanks. Back during 2006, those vehicles were tossed away by the Emission as if they were literally nothing. Not to mention that the Zone doesn't like anything mechanical or electronic

[dense hatch]

it's a shame

[pseudo rivet]

I think you do get the Steam stuff, although I'm not sure. Most important thing is that you managed to get it

[drifting marlin]

Is it bad to tell a random freedom girl cosplayer in a store to watch for bloodsuckers?

[indigo marsh]

Weird since the zone literally creates a ELECTRO anomaly.

[pseudo rivet]

Yes, because it's actually Bandits who's got a taste for mutant flesh

[sour goblet]

The bloodsuckers are watching out for ME. 😈

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but that's not the same as something electronic. Something electronic is artificial, made by man

[celest blaze]

Bandit girls*

[indigo marsh]

Viper 5 literally melts bloodsuckers

[sour goblet]

can we get strong women in the zone named Olga and shlt

[magic reef]

Well how do you think

[indigo marsh]

That's a mutated solider

[sour goblet]

do you guys think we will find military stalkers trying to act as best as they can

like the trained ones from the military and not from the zone

[indigo marsh]

Do we know if that is an event that happens in the world of S2

[sour goblet]

"Hey.. You're a military stalker aren't you?"
"Но хабла инглес"

[pseudo rivet]

Actually, not all Military Stalkers are former Stalkers. Some are soldiers with experience in the Zone and additional training

[sour goblet]

yeah i know thats why i said from the military

recruited from outside and come from the military

[viral lintel]

Will we be able to pre download the game on steam before the release time?

[sour goblet]

i dont think so

I mostly play Call of Pripyat because I love admiring Beard's beautiful beard.

[pseudo rivet]

Shoutout to Movember

[celest blaze]

peak

[magic reef]

What....

[sour goblet]

he has a well groomed beard

[magic reef]

Alco party with kardan is better

[sour goblet]

cardan's hair looks oily

[pseudo rivet]

It very much is

[celest blaze]

bros greasy

[sour goblet]

get that man some shampoo

he's soaked in gun lubricant

[indigo marsh]

Imo nitro is better than cardan. Not the best tho. That would be Yar or Limpid.

[magic reef]

Thats why they are most efficient as a team

[sour goblet]

cardan literally was apart of the gauss rifle's design

[indigo marsh]

He is better once he sobers up

[dire dagger]

He made the cs-1

[magic reef]

He litteraly one of the creators

[dire dagger]

So he’s number one chad

[sour goblet]

mb exactly tho

[pseudo rivet]

What

No

[dire dagger]

What

[pseudo rivet]

No

[dire dagger]

Who am I thinking of

[sour goblet]

wasnt it novikov

[indigo marsh]

Yeah but he is kinda drunk for most of the game. Once he sobers up he is the better technician.
