Okay gotchu lmao

[finite dragon]

Thank you @tulip vapor and @wise geyser both absolute heroes, ran it again and got confirmation then cancelled my German Amazon order thank you very much for both your help

Thank GOD I didn't drink tonight I would've been screwed

[wise geyser]

💀💀

[finite dragon]

I would've totally biffed it

[tulip vapor]

Good hunting stalker. Now let's hope they actually remember to distribute the keys

[finite dragon]

TRUE

[ornate sand]

Yes my friend I am I’m very dedicated. I fell in love with the stalker games in 2018

[tulip vapor]

Niice there's a physical release of LotZ for Switch coming in January

[ornate sand]

I know right

Honestly, I did not believe I would be able to play the stalker games ever at least until I got a PC but I have played all 3 games and had dropped the money I was gonna use for hunting, this year which is all my spending money on it

[tulip vapor]

Hope my CPU's good enough. Might have to upgrade it.

Nevermind not an issue. Bottleneck for another day.

[ornate sand]

Hey read you profile love the bungle-bongle and the banner

[shy lake]

It probably broke something when enabled 😭😂😂

[native ibex]

Maxim 9 mod would be a classic, guaranteed

Go get it, modders

[ornate sand]

I so I just watched wargame the making of stalker 2 on YouTube and it was absolutely amazing

[crystal torrent]

thanks :D

[ornate sand]

No need I’m a firm believer complementing people when I see something I enjoy. I know from personal experience a small compliment can make someone’s day.

[crystal torrent]

it did actually make my day better ☺️

[polar orchid]

i cant wait to snipe from up high, im gonna crack n go try and find some footage i skipped lol

trying not to look at anything for ages but i keep looking now

[shadow cipher]

10 days!!!!!

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[polar orchid]

let us innn!

game journos got to be playing it rn

[dense hatch]

and YouTubers

and people who talked about it once on social media

[crystal torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-embed-fail-embed-discord-embed-gif-embed-gif-21924703

NOOOOO

[polar orchid]

are we gonna get reviews a few days before release mb mb?

or on release...

[crystal torrent]

the only reviews that actually matter are the player reviews 😔

its sad that we live in a world where PROFESSIONALS are less trustworthy than some random guy who 100% the game in 10h

[rocky raptor]

spit your facts

[polar orchid]

will this server get a spoiler chat?

[crystal torrent]

yes

gsc said they would have a spoilers everything goes stalker2 chat

[polar orchid]

cool hopefully we can post screenshots

[crystal torrent]

likely

[native ibex]

We seen any info on what all stats an artifact can influence?

[lime gull]

10 days

[lime gull]

I don't think so.

[native ibex]

Give me the artifact that lets me Morrowind jump my way around.

[pseudo meteor]

Crazy how little info we got from the game previews tho

[native ibex]

I want that one.

[native ibex]

Hmm... hopefully everything's on the up&up

Well, games journalism and asking the right questions...

[pseudo meteor]

Anyone know if there's a stash system in place? They said hideouts and placeable furniture isn't so big F on that

[humble grail]

I'm excited to play, from the new trailer it looks very good

[lime gull]

I'm sure if we tallied up all the information we've gotten, that wouldn't be true in the slightest.

[lime gull]

It'll be returning unchanged from the OG trilogy. Expect to find random rectangular green boxes to store things in.

[ornate sand]

I wonder how many people in this sever would actually survive the zone I give myself two months tops before I stumble into some anomaly

[pseudo meteor]

Lol fair. That'll do for now

[lime gull]

I'll be generous and give myself minutes.

[humble grail]

I'd die instantly or starve to death from not wanting to venture out

[nimble cipher]

blatant_heretic has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lime gull]

No cussing in Wolf's Zone.

[pseudo meteor]

Apparently so

[humble grail]

rip

[wheat patio]

[ornate sand]

I got my 5 round, semi automatic rifle shotgun, that I have put down a charging bar, cause I screwed up a shot on it earlier. So I’m good for most mutants it’s just people anomalies that are going to get me

[lime gull]

I don't even own a gun, if I went in to the zone with just what's on my back, I don't think I'd even make it past the border. Some military sniper would get lucky with a headshot. lol

[ornate sand]

If you go into the zone, you better at least bring yourself a flipping bolt action, rifle chamber 556 or 762

[lime gull]

I think anyone willing to sell me a rifle seconds into arriving to the Zone is someone who is playing a game of chess with checkers.

[nimble cipher]

whitefeather2005 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lime gull]

As in, I don't even know how a gun works aside from seeing video game characters pull the trigger and check the mag, so honestly it'd be an even shorter count down till some kind of gun accident happens.

[ornate sand]

😂

[ornate sand]

Had two freedom and pay someone like 500 rubles to show you how to clean your gun

And do some maintenance

[native ibex]

Bad word usage XD

I'm sorry, I thought this was the M rated STALKER franchise

[lime gull]

Your saying this to the remains of a rookie that died seconds after talking to you bc they walked straight into a whirligig

[native ibex]

Oops, you forgot your hearing protection. Permanent tinnitus

[lime gull]

that's gotta suck even more while your in the zone, too.

Can't hear bandits nor mutants sneaking up on you, or even hear a distant anomaly.

[ornate sand]

Well shit time to get ripped to shreds by dogs cause I didn’t hear them

[native ibex]

That's alright

The bloodsucker gives as much warning

Also, whoever added the watchmen things from Metro... I have very bad words for you

[lime gull]

Lurkers?

[native ibex]

Like... they're annoying.

[lime gull]

Yeah, very much so and I don't think they suit stalker at all

they are essentially just weaker snorks/chimeras. Every enemy is just 'they jump at you :)'

[native ibex]

Yes, lurkers. I try not to use that, it reminds me of my beloved Jak & Daxter

[lime gull]

Well, minus the liddle guys. I forgot what they're called... Dreugar or something? idk. Either way, they feel like an unnecessary & extra irritating inclusion.

But none of those even hold a bar against the buerers from Gunslinger COP

[native ibex]

Also I'm kind of timeblind as to differences between book and game. But Sasha was pretty, I wanted to see her.

[lime gull]

I don't know much about the differences at all sadly 😮

I only ever played the games (sans exodus).

[native ibex]

Sasha was albino, I think. She is, uh, not really that important, tbh. Just becomes a lady of the night.

*I think albino, idk 4 sure

[lime gull]

It is sad when characters from a more rich novel series get shrunk or cut entirely from games/movies/shows based on books

I guess I understand that there are creative limitations around how you adapt something, but it feels like a cop out. Shows like The Expanse prove that staying true to the book's content is a foolsafe way of adapting a piece of writing.

[ruby warren]

The author of metro worked on the games too

[native ibex]

Idk, I think such personalization would be provided by your own AGI or something.

Give it time. We're still primitive.

[storm raft]

Hey everyone, when do you think the Full pre load would be, I work away and I want to make sure it’s installed so when I’m home I can play

[maiden coral]

I’ve heard here and there that there wouldn’t be a preload? Unless something changed?

[storm raft]

Oh really just available to download on the 20th, I do hope that changes. On the Xbox your able to have the game semi preloaded already

[small breach]

Yeah but only like 300mb

[dense hatch]

you can still hear with tinnitus it's just loud sometimes

it's very much a base by case deal, I have a very minor case of tinnitus

yet it still sucks

[toxic vector]

i hope stalker 2 graphics will be on par with metro exodus

[storm raft]

Yeah, hopefully sometime next week there’s something offical on Twitter

[dense hatch]

it's clearly better from what we've seen

also probably in terms of performance

[native ibex]

I like my open world connected and seamless, so this should be a wonderful experience.

[stark anvil]

what’s the recommended gpu for ultra settings

[dense hatch]

best you can possibly get

it's still a ue5 game

[stark anvil]

I am currently using a rog 4070 rtx t.i super

[wise blaze]

did they say how long the main questline was gonna be?

[wise geyser]

About 40 hours pure focus on it

[native ibex]

What kinda question is that, anyway

[wise geyser]

Difficulty matters too ofc tho

[dense hatch]

40+ hours for full focus, I think 120 for game

[wise blaze]

ok thx

[dense hatch]

which is a lot

[native ibex]

Hopefully Kojima came in to assist with those strange, psuedoerotc shower scenes

[wise geyser]

My ass is gonna easily be able to drag 500 hours out of this shit lmao

[wise blaze]

and it sounds like its supposed to have a good deal of replayability

[native ibex]

Hopefully Kojima came in to assist with those strange, psuedoerotc shower scenes

[wise geyser]

Indeed

[rose apex]

They have recorded only 3 hrs of cutscenes right for the whole game? They said somewhere in an interview

[dense hatch]

I'm slightly worried about the pacing but they can manage it

[wise geyser]

Multiple endings

[feral nest]

Stalker 2 how many factions?

[dense hatch]

that's 7% of the main quest worth of cutscenes

[dense hatch]

like 4 more

[stark anvil]

What’s your issue about asking the hardware requirements for the game?

[native ibex]

Best you can get as cheap as you can get it for.

[stark anvil]

I don’t like cheap

[feral nest]

you better be able to smoke a cigarette in stalker 2

[dense hatch]

I hope they remove hunger like they did in CS

[wise geyser]

Maybe, consumables seem to all have anims so if cigs are a consumable yeah

[native ibex]

Then spend five grand on the upcoming 50x series or whatever.

[rose apex]

True ..a wet dream for a smoker irl like me as well..!!

[feral nest]

if they remove hunger im refunding XD

[native ibex]

Blasphemy.

[dense hatch]

straight up not a soul I've talked to noticed it was gone

hunger is POINTLESS and CS is PROOF

[native ibex]

Sorry, I'm overreacting.

[dense hatch]

it's more useful as a healing item

[feral nest]

thanks harris, ill remember that im playing metro exodus 2

[dense hatch]

I'm kinda sad they nerfed it in CS

[native ibex]

I just enjoyed packing food for long trips and placing stashes of such things in places they might be needed.

[wise geyser]

Hungers pointless when implemented poorly rather

[dense hatch]

metro could never be this open

[feral nest]

it was a bad joke

[wise geyser]

Saying it’s pointless when it’s a survival mechanism tho is crazy

[dense hatch]

it's obviously referring to the stalker series

[ruby warren]

Well yeah, its in a giant tunnel

[dense hatch]

not exodus

[ruby warren]

Which is the worst one

[wise blaze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXBmCzyEeN4

where tf did this vid get all this footage from?

[wise geyser]

No ones talking bout exodus lmao

[native ibex]

I really want a Metro MMO with players just warring over the metro over months in cycles. Different factions. Lots of snake worshipper memes.

[dense hatch]

what are you talking about

I was saying hunger was pointless in stalker

[dense hatch]

metro RTS when

or a metro 4x game.

[wise blaze]

wasteland is fairly close. not really "RTS" tho ig

[ruby warren]

The VR metro game is pretty neat, been playing it

[native ibex]

Eh... meh. More of infiltration kind of game in my mind.

[wise geyser]

I was talking about stalker aswell referring to CS as a good point of when it’s implemented poorly that was prob the worst of it’s implementation in the trilogy

[rose apex]

You can play wasteland series

[dense hatch]

wasteland is not an rts what is wrong with y'all

smh

[wise geyser]

But hunger as a survival mechanism when implemented correctly because the character HAS to eat rather than a healing item and having to eat is side showed it’s a good mechanic

[feral nest]

If theres no hunger and no ciggies then the only loot we finding boys is guns and ammo XD

[native ibex]

Yeah. Have a timer where firefly speeds your metablism up to the point you just die of old age. Secret ending. I know... I'm fun.

[feral nest]

10,000 hour achievement

[dense hatch]

hunger is just so unimportant and easy/cheap to manage in CoP and SoC

[feral nest]

bro some of us have no lives and want to become the game ok

[wise blaze]

fr

[feral nest]

we wanna sit and look at the radioactive sky and smoke a ciggy

[native ibex]

I wish to implement the ST into my mind

[feral nest]

and eat our crackers

[ruby warren]

I like it for immersion reasons, but yeah hunger was a non issue in SOC and CoP

[wise geyser]

It’s still there though is the thing it for immersion

[native ibex]

Give the soylent

[dense hatch]

if you want cancer there are plenty of radioactive trash piles

[rose apex]

Would we be able to cook in the zone in s2 ?

[wise geyser]

This

[dense hatch]

I legitimately never saw it trigger once in SoC because I used food for healing basically the entire game

[native ibex]

I second this. I am a freak who would watch a fifteen minute MRE meal, so...

[wise geyser]

Like GSC even said for its implementation in HoC it’s to remind players skif is a being that has need word for word lmao

[dense hatch]

no cooking, no crafting

[native ibex]

A little crafting, please...

[midnight oar]

wait arent you the guy that asks if there would be an anomaly for STALKER 2?

[feral nest]

Stalker 2 will have modding support I believe

[ruby warren]

Lets have a 2% chance of catching botulism every time we eat a can of tourists delight for immersion

[midnight oar]

i swear i saw an image with you in it

[wise geyser]

Well than no shit your not gonna see it lmao hence going back to its poor implementation of being a healing item essentially rather than food because the character NEEDS to eat

[rose apex]

Why..We want to feed sidorovich some juicy chicken legs so that he gives some early game discounts..!!

[native ibex]

It is I... Satan

[wise geyser]

Which hopefully they’ve changed for HoC

[dense hatch]

except otherwise eating is just a chore that you have to do instead of something with actual gameplay interaction

[feral nest]

I mean when you remove hunger you remove the survival element of the game and its basically metro exodus 2

[dense hatch]

drinking and pissing would be immersive but not exactly fun

[native ibex]

We want to do this, this. Well, I do like the idea of being able to cook chimera. I want 100 Rads to be a proper BBQ

[dense hatch]

unless you can control the stream in which case HELL YEAH

[wise geyser]

If you view it as a chore then that’s on you Brodie lmao don’t know what to tell you

[dense hatch]

it needs to be all in or not at all

a good hunger system is great

[wise geyser]

Many players including myself like the idea for the immersion alone not to mention the fact it gives off skif is alive and has needs

[feral nest]

Imagine Rudy sitting by the fire cooking a nice meal from a local animal and he invites you over by the campfire for a story, a ciggy, and a nice warm meal. Thats the stalker i want

[dense hatch]

a bad or extremely minor one sucks

[rose apex]

Ya but poop also when you see 10 monolith guards pushing at you..

[wise geyser]

That’s exactly wtf I’ve been saying 💀

[native ibex]

Love you too

[wise geyser]

It’s all based on if it’s implemented correctly

[dense hatch]

I'm just saying the way stalker does it is pointless

HoC unrelated because it's not out yet

[ruby warren]

Speak for yourself, I wanna write my name with pee

[feral nest]

^

[dense hatch]

as I said, if you can control the stream, I'm all in

[native ibex]

Postal meets STALKER

[feral nest]

I wanna raid a local abandoned supermarket and find food that i can sell to some bald guy in a bunker

[wise geyser]

Brodie I know lmao idk why you dragged the shit I’ve said that since the jump it has shit implementation

[dense hatch]

P.O.S.T.A.L

[ruby warren]

Pee on the C-cons dumb little tubes

[rose apex]

And if we piss in bandits face they suddenly aggro you..

[wise geyser]

I said that shit like 5 times lmao 😂

[native ibex]

That food is husks decades old.

[wraith socket]

I was really into Postal 2 before the Stalker games came out.

[dense hatch]

read messages you're responding to

[dense hatch]

read messages you're responding to

[native ibex]

I had no experience with it.

But I admire the psychosis of the first game

[wise geyser]

Already did man it’s whatever

[dense hatch]

a way to aggro enemies without hurting them also sounds nice

[feral nest]

I hope Stalker 2 modding support will be full fledged.

[dense hatch]

you could do some funny stuff with it

[native ibex]

The Far Cry Rock

[wraith socket]

You could piss on things. You could piss on yourself to put out a fire if you got flamed.

[native ibex]

I know

[wise geyser]

Lmao

[native ibex]

That's why I brought it up

[dense hatch]

also make people vomit if you had good enough aim

[wise geyser]

Go to the top of some random ass building in Pripyat and piss on a bandit

Peak immersion 👌🗿👌

[wraith socket]

The machete was such a good melee weapon, you could chop your way through anything.

[ruby warren]

Piss into the CNPP reactor

[polar orchid]

Make a wish first

[dense hatch]

world pees

THAT'S WHAT GOING GOLD IS

[rose apex]

Definitely need that in game..!!

[wise geyser]

Shit would be hilarious lmao

[native ibex]

Right there with you. And I hope that contributes greatly to a certain internet law

[polar orchid]

to a what?

[dense hatch]

FFN is a site for cowards?

[wise geyser]

I hope they let us pre load soon the game is fkn huge

[wraith socket]

Lost Alpha did make you drink a lot of water. You had to manage your hunger and your thirst.

[native ibex]

It's Rule 34 I'm referring to, damn.

[wise geyser]

Seeing this shit in my library is like the purest crack ever made

[dense hatch]

ah yes, Wattpad is the worst way to spread media

[feral nest]

I think Anomaly spoiled my stalker outlook

[wraith socket]

No doubt.

[wise geyser]

Well I can find out rn

[native ibex]

Yeah, I just can't wait to start downloading

[wise geyser]

Have you played the trilogy?

[feral nest]

Nah

[native ibex]

No, and I will not claim to have

[wise geyser]

Welp 😂

[dense hatch]

[feral nest]

Only Anomaly, where i can smoke ciggies and eat meals on a campfire

[dense hatch]

they're good games you should play them

[wise geyser]

There you go lmao yeah your spoiled

[dense hatch]

very fun, good FPS mechanics

[polar orchid]

theyre hard to play

[feral nest]

But can I survive tho?

[wise geyser]

💀💀

[dense hatch]

in that they're difficult to get used to sure

[native ibex]

I played CoC which made the games more about your own average stalker story. I liked. Anomaly introduced maintenance items and various other features. It was mindblowing.

[dense hatch]

shrimply put it's a krill issue

[feral nest]

if they are hard to play then Anomaly Gamma is legendary difficulty

[native ibex]

GAMMA was alright, but I was burnt out after a few years of playing

[feral nest]

yea...YEARS

[dense hatch]

the bullet spread was 5% too large

[feral nest]

that was changeable its .lua

[ruby warren]

The vanilla trilogy isnt that hard imo, if I can beat it on master anyone can

[wise geyser]

Headshots

[dense hatch]

once you know the tricks the trilogy is quite easy

[native ibex]

It can't be worse than Jak 2

[polar orchid]

they are hard to get immersed in imo, the graphics are kinda dated and the gun sounds are kinda old. i enjoy them only in small doses. i dont recommend them to people lol

[feral nest]

OMG they have hunger in Stalker 2 im looking at the steam game photo rn and theres a chicken leg icon above the health bar XD

AND A MOON FOR SLEEP

[wise geyser]

That’s what it’s all about tho

[polar orchid]

they feel like retro games

[native ibex]

Actually, I would again like to say that Half-Life 1 is hell. I love it, but Valve knows what you're thinking every step of the way. Devils.

[wise geyser]

Lmao play the trilogy’s and learn the story and maps so you will feel spoiled asf in 2

[dense hatch]

they're old FPS games that's literally just part of playing them

[feral nest]

Have you played Black Mesa

[dense hatch]

exactly, probably why it's so good

[normal quail]

@wraith socket mod organizer doesnt detect cotz

[feral nest]

Black Mesa was insanely well done.

[native ibex]

No, wanted the pure experience. Well, the ultrawide pure experience

[dense hatch]

black mesa is a pretty good remake and a great game but it's hard to beat something that completely changed how games worked

[polar orchid]

loved that game, you mean the half life remake?

[feral nest]

Yea

[dense hatch]

the xen rework is fantastic

[native ibex]

And the end boss looks less cool of a time in Black Mesa

[polar orchid]

yea its sweet cos you can mod it

[feral nest]

^

[dense hatch]

you can also mod half life one

[polar orchid]

put recoil in there, gun skins, mad stuff... its funny

[native ibex]

My first exprience even hearing of Half Life came from playing Gmod in 2015

[dense hatch]

like a 15th of all games are on the goldsource engine

[lone oracle]

I hate S2 HUD

[polar orchid]

you can mod black mesa direct from steam workshop so its super accessible

[ruby warren]

Good thing you can turn it off

[dense hatch]

it's pretty nice

[native ibex]

Not really any I played.

[dense hatch]

the steam workshop is fantastic, one of the best things of the platform

[native ibex]

As a kid, I mean

[feral nest]

During the course of the game, players' character can consume alcohol, resulting in screen-blurring effects and the character swaying; one cutscene depicts players' character smoking a cigarette from a first-person perspective.

we can smoke ciggies in stalker 2 confirmed

[dense hatch]

lung cancer speedrun when

[feral nest]

Take my money GSC pre ordering for an entire country rn

[ruby warren]

Smoke cigs in cutscenes

[feral nest]

thanks bro, now im doubting again.

Mr. Orange.

[native ibex]

I want my cigs and I want my eyepatch

[feral nest]

I want half my screen to be black when i put the eye patch on

[native ibex]

Nah, you'll get used to it

[ruby warren]

They should make skiff nearsighted for immersion

[native ibex]

I have enough of this using iron sights in Anomaly.

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. MO2 isn't compatible with CotZ.

[feral nest]

Stalker 2 PDM live chat mod when?

[normal quail]

i uninstalled the obscure essential mods tejas gave me for modding it properly aaaa

[wraith socket]

I add very few Mods to my CotZ game.

[normal quail]

i wanted to manage the files right

[native ibex]

PDM, what means

[normal quail]

what mod manager can it be used?

[feral nest]

PDA*

[indigo marsh]

There is JGSME

[normal quail]

is it good?=

[native ibex]

Ah

I wonder what weird wifi enabled devices these things were based off of. I could hardly have imagined it in the early 2000's

[indigo marsh]

It is pretty basic but it does it's job.

[normal quail]

ill try

[native ibex]

I look forward to meme revolvers. 45-70 big iron

Fact check me on caliber numbers, I'm fairly casual.

I miss my obsession days.

[normal quail]

who is the grok of cotz?

[feral nest]

The real dilemma is do you buy the edition with the exclusive side quest for the full stalker 2 experience...

[normal quail]

merhunes something

[indigo marsh]

The what of cotz?

[normal quail]

grok

[indigo marsh]

Mahzra?

[normal quail]

yeah

i think he has a modlist or so

[indigo marsh]

Rhons describes it well for the 2 big packs for CotZ
#🔩┃trilogy_modifications message

[normal quail]

ill check both

[normal quail]

tejas rhon or marge?

mahrxa

[wraith socket]

Both Rhons and Mahzra are great guys, really putting in the time and work with their CotZ Mod Packs. If you are looking for a total makeover of CotZ, they are good choices. However, they were way, way too much for me. I prefer my CotZ to look like I just took the chopper out of CoP and landed in the Zone of all the levels of the trilogy and more. I'm not looking for a visual change and I'm content with the armors and weapons the game gives me. I just want to play what is there.

[normal quail]

neither im looking for visual changes i like cool stuff

maybe i can install both and try luck

[normal quail]

@wraith sockettejas is teyas or tehas like texas

[wraith socket]

Pronounced Tehas like Texas. My name literally means Texas Stalker.

It's the spanish pronunciation of Texas.

[normal quail]

good i was pronuncing it right all this time along

[wraith socket]

Chymo.

I like how you were calling him Chamoy. Very funny alternate name.

[normal quail]

easier to remember easy to spell

still true to out kot

[wraith socket]

I'm not making fun of you. I just enjoy your vocabulary for other things.

[celest blaze]

just manually mod

[normal quail]

i know

[celest blaze]

PEAK SKY

[celest blaze]

Deserted hospital?

[normal quail]

the lack of labs was a bit dissapointing
the hospital battle was intense i liked it a lot

[wraith socket]

Yes. Passing through with Bandits, Clear Sky, Duty and Loners Companions.

[celest blaze]

fr i liked the hospital fight

[celest blaze]

bros united the zone i love it

[drifting vector]

i wanna play shadow of chernybol but every time i try to play the game has issues

[normal quail]

when you stop bandagin because what you are going to do needs special post care dies to its own grenade

[celest blaze]

i didnt really prepare for the hospital in CS and oh man that was a good challange haha

[celest blaze]

mono spawning and flanking you aswell

[celest blaze]

what issues ?

[normal quail]

possibly one of my favorite fights
the map really did a good ight forcing you to play bit differently

[dim belfry]

It's probably lighting. Try to start game on default and only then change things.

[drifting vector]

well the strange thing is that the first time i launched the game, it had more issues then it does now.

[celest blaze]

also if your 12th gen intel using windows 11 check the steam betas for patch

[wraith socket]

I took 40 Companions through Pripyat.

[drifting vector]

so for starters, v sync isnt working, secondly the starting npc keeps moving his mouth long after talking, third whenever i exit the game, this weird console window thing shows up then closes

[celest blaze]

Tejas Army

[normal quail]

tejas the can be installed both since they are pracitcally the same

[drifting vector]

im trying to see if i can fix this issues without modding, otherwise im probably gonna install zrp

[celest blaze]

hmm fresh install/verify install could help

[normal quail]

rhon is a modpack of its own mods and mahfwejfbiweu build upon it

[drifting vector]

ive reinstalled multiple times

those are the only three issues that persist

steam also says the files are valid

[native ibex]

I do hope to maintain helmet effects and wiping helmet. That is always welcome feature, as long as it gives a good window of no condensation.

[wraith socket]

Could be. Just too many changes for me.

[normal quail]

im not trying to convice you
i like inventory management for some reason

[dim belfry]

There was v sync!?!? OK, I actually stunned that it actually has v sync. About animations, I think that it's because they were made on russian/ukrainian speeches so it's normal(probably?). Console... idk it's just how it works. SoC starts not only game app but also sound one so probably it's also ok

[normal quail]

i dont wanna loose the cool stuff

[wraith socket]

There's nothing wrong with that. All the games have inventory management to some degree.

[normal quail]

i noticed that since clear sky stalker has hyper casual mobile game break with emissions

or at least that is what i did every time emission happens

[wraith socket]

I like both Emissions and Psi Storms. Gives a certain feeling to the Zone that you can't control it and you are at it's mercy.

[native ibex]

It's iconic

[normal quail]

me too were psy storms in cop?

[dim belfry]

Just emissions. Psi storms are only mod thing.

[wise blaze]

anyone know why the inventory button to drop items is bugged for me in SOC?

sometimes it works, and other times, it doesnt

[wraith socket]

You on a PC or Console?

[wise blaze]

pc

[feral nest]

Im going to go to bed for 10 days straight so I can fast travel to release

[wraith socket]

Is that right click to drop?

[wise blaze]

yea

right click, then i click drop

[wraith socket]

Don't take this wrong but I rarely need to drop things, Are you overweight?

[normal quail]

@wraith socket how is your population factor for stalkers?

[wise blaze]

that has no bearing on my question

[wraith socket]

I meant are you needing to drop items from your inventory because you can't move?

[wise blaze]

no

[wraith socket]

What specific items seem to fail the most when dropping?

[dim belfry]

Can you just put things in crate/corpse?

[normal quail]

tejas upload your mods

[wise blaze]

guns are what i usually drop. i pick them up to get ammo. but then to drop, i have to try it several times

[normal quail]

i hope that in stalker 2 we get the gauss minigun

[wraith socket]

Sometimes you can drop an item and your character might automatically pick it right up again if it falls just right. Guns will do that the most.

[wise blaze]

that doesnt seem like its the issue

[dim belfry]

I have so many questions right now... how?! Just how!? I know trilogy for a damn decade and I've never faced bugs that you're talking about? It's like GSC made patch that actually added them instead of solving

[wraith socket]

I don't want to play 20 questions all night. You have to be more specific where you are, what is on the ground around you, what are you dropping, how many times is it failing? There are so many variables and it's like pulling teeth get information out of you.

[wise blaze]

its not falling at all. the button doesnt work. like i said

[dim belfry]

Do you use keyboard + mouse or controller?

[wise blaze]

key

[wraith socket]

I said failing. If the button does not work then it is failing.

[wise blaze]

my bad. resolution is low on my discord monitor haha

its never consistent. sometimes it works 1st time. sometimes it could take 20

[wraith socket]

That's a good question. You can drop by mouse or by key.

[dim belfry]

-_- why pirated version is so stable and good while steam one is so damn raw?

[wise blaze]

key to drop works. so ig ill just keep using that. and bind it somewhere closer

[wraith socket]

Try getting on top of something. Elevate yourself and see if that makes any difference.

[drifting vector]

anyone know how to fix the issues im having, or should i just install zrp

[wraith socket]

The quickest fix is to make a manual save (Not quick save) and then reload it to see if that unbugs anything.

[dim belfry]

My honest advice: go to the torrent. There you'll have 2 options: to pirate normal and almost no bug thing or ask people there to help you(they know much more than all of us)

[wraith socket]

Maybe your two versions are conflicted with each other. Are both installed?

[feral nest]

Will we be able to meet Nazeem at the Cloud District in Stalker 2?

[dim belfry]

Nah, i mean that I'm just comparing issues that you have with the official product and my experience which basically is getting pirated+patched copy of game that I got from my uncle like 10 or more years ago and it has no issues+ no viruses and else stuff.

[wraith socket]

Maybe your Uncle did a lot of tweaks.

[dim belfry]

I even think that having physical copy and installing patches from official website is much more reliable than steam version

[upbeat rain]

Just preordered ultimate edition

Really excited. Part of me wanted to do the physical edition but I just don’t think I need the physical items

[feral nest]

that exclusive side quest better be worth it bro

[lucid pagoda]

lmaoo looks like fans lined up for the midnight release

[wraith socket]

No. Nazeem walked into an anomaly and was shredded.

[native ibex]

I like the suit

[native ibex]

It's really just sunrise, but.. slightly cooler.

[lime gull]

ah, from my personal experience it's quite defeaning.

[native ibex]

Mm, I've seen too many variations

But I like it

If it could compare to an exo, I'd be glad to wear it to the end of the game

And on aimless walks in the zone otherwise.

[feral nest]

stalker 2

[native ibex]

I've heard of it, Rosey

[feral nest]

u can still play same playthrough after beating it?

[native ibex]

Oh no, they're gonna Broken Steel us

[dim belfry]

Which exo? There some variations of it(as example: you can wear exos of duty and freedom aside from usual one in CS)

[native ibex]

I remember I was so glad to have that DLC, wandering the wasteland long after most of the content was done, just collecting soda with my 2000 .44 rounds

[upbeat rain]

I doubt it’ll be worth it. Just like any other game with pre order bonuses. But I’ve been waiting longer for this, and have been more excited for this than any other game, so I think the pre order is worth it anyway just in case.

That’s coming from a guy who has never pre ordered a game in recent years. The last game I pre ordered was BO2 back in 2012😅

[feral nest]

wait

when was someone gonna tell me theres a stalker movie out rn called Shadow of the Zone on youtube for free

[native ibex]

I was shared it by a friend, but I don't know if I'll watch it.

But, if you do, share opinion

[feral nest]

watching rn

got my popcorn and indica i will let u know brother i will let u know

[native ibex]

The balance is with you

[upbeat rain]

Yeah wendigoon had something to do with that. I haven’t watched it yet but I plan to if the reviews are good. Tell me how it is when you’re done watching. I’m curious

[feral nest]

so far its starting off like a Civ Div intro

[native ibex]

Tell me, why is this wendigoon so popular? Is he just wholesome reviewer, or is there more to it

[native ibex]

NakeyJakey is hilarious. His video covering Rockstar's mission linearity was hilarious to me.

That's how I felt gong through singleplayer. Just... guardrails.

[feral nest]

i like ur friend

hes always there for u

[upbeat rain]

Nakey is good. I like wendigoon even though I don’t care at all for horror stuff. He’s involved with the group that run unsubscribe podcast and I’ve been watching them for years, so I naturally like wendigoons content too

I found myself listening to all of his long ass videos while working

[native ibex]

Oh, gotcha. Zanny is constant comfort for me. His dogs are cool. I guess he's my new Pewdiepie. I hope he finds someone and has kids... assuming he has done none of those things since I last watched.

[feral nest]

I like turtles

[upbeat rain]

I’ve never watched him before but I just looked him up. Still active. I’ll give it a shot. Looks like some interesting videos there

[native ibex]

Adorkable

[wise geyser]

The cheeki barki

[native ibex]

No, please, the meme must be fresher than 2019, at least.

[wise geyser]

Done

[native ibex]

Hey, good on you

But I was tawkin to the Rose

[wise geyser]

Brodie I wasn’t talking to you lmao

Was just saying the Cheeki Barki

And said done when I switched it

[native ibex]

Hmm

[feral nest]

guys guys save your anger for nov 20th

[native ibex]

Communication breakdown

[wise geyser]

No anger lmao

[native ibex]

My anger? No, let it be joy

[feral nest]

Damn why u gon make me look stupid like that rudy ba tootie

Gotta learn the temperature yourself, runt

Listen

Wait, no...

I jump around in games too, lol. Cyberpunk, RDR2, lol

[native ibex]

Make up to later

[wraith socket]

What do you mean? I'm zapping men and mutants in the tree line about 300+ meters away.

[normal quail]

You can link it to screenshots and videos. Use the Forward arrow.

bro is rich

[wraith socket]

I sell a lot of used weapons. I don't sell artifacts.

[native ibex]

I love selling used weapons

Especially if I repaired them. There's a... pride.

not possible

[native ibex]

Should be left of the text field

[drifting vector]

vsync aint working bruh

[native ibex]

Shizzle, homie

Wym, aint workin

[fluid abyss]

I asked this in #📜┃ask-gsc already, but do you guys think that you are able to be "naked" like in Skyrim or Fallout, if you aren't wearing any armor?

Or will it be the same old shirt+pants like in the OG games

[drifting vector]

had to force v sync in nvidia control panel

[wraith socket]

I think you post your screenshot or video in that section, and then you can forward it to en_stalker.

[native ibex]

Hmm

[drifting vector]

getting this game to work right is a headache

[lime gull]

I believe we'll have the classic wool shirt + pants combo as in the OG games.

I think I saw a screenshot or a clip with Skif having the sweater's arms in a scene or two but I can't give you a link or an idea of which trailer it was, I just know I saw what I saw.

[wraith socket]

I'm sure Grok will make a mod to make him naked soon.

[lime gull]

Fingers crossed

[native ibex]

Hmm... how much of the zone does the game map cover

[lime gull]

~60km?

[native ibex]

Hmm... that sounds pretty far.

So we don't need two more games to stitch together a proper map

[native ibex]

Red Forest is some shiiiyat

A place where, magically, bad things happen in excess

[twilit narwhal]

Sup?

[native ibex]

Heya

We were just pondering on how the mutant dishess in Anomaly might taste

[twilit narwhal]

Oh okay? XD

[dim topaz]

God I hope

[pallid spruce]

We have our own Channel, this is amazing!

[slate hinge]

just preordered the limited edition 🔥

[pallid spruce]

I wish I had the money at the moment

[crystal torrent]

ordered ultimate physical yesterday and while my wallet is crying my heart is full and hopes are high ☺️😔

[native ibex]

I tell you what

I would love if fractures appeared as they were intended. Merchants or robbers. Perfectly human in action, just screwed.

[blissful peak]

Hello everybody!

Oooo, 10 days left

[native ibex]

The time draws near

[slate hinge]

i just got the limited, all i could afford but still worth it

[crystal torrent]

yeah, still not sure if 500 doll- hairs was worth it

ig ill see on release

[native ibex]

Well

I am looking forward to artifact hunting.

Woth beautiful UE effects

[slate hinge]

guess thats part of it

[native ibex]

I am curious as to the backpack quality

Don't need another Bethesda sitch

[blissful peak]

Let's see how it's gonna be

[signal bronze]

I've already got gamepass but i'm still thinking about getting Ultimate edition on Steam.. anyone else contemplating the same?

[native ibex]

Already have

[jaunty pebble]

I already have the ultimate on steam, so I am not contemplating.

No matter how this game turns our, either peak on release or buggy on release. It is worth my money

I have it on my Steam library for 2 years, and I am going to enjoy it no matter how it turns out

[runic arch]

Does anyone know when you can buy the ultimate physical edition on the Stalker site?

[native ibex]

Looking forward to exploring. Hopefully plenty to do.

[native ibex]

I have a feeling that's about done

[jaunty pebble]

Today is the last day for the restocks so be fast #🖤┃s2-pre-order

[runic arch]

a you can buy them on other sites. All right, thank you 👍

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, the website was supposed to direct to them but I don’t know why it doesn’t

After today, they wont restock physical editions

And the restocks will ship on April 2025(the game code will be sent on release however, don’t worry)

[peak knoll]

10 more days..

just 10 more days until HoC gets released..

[normal bobcat]

Shadow of Peak, Clear Peak and Call of Peak

[finite obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-ice-water-i-dont-need-it-gif-14272849

mee waiting fore the next ten days

[young walrus]

It is insane that this game is finally releasing

[crimson remnant]

Tell you what man this game broke me. First pre order in 6 years

[young walrus]

I rarely ever pre-order games and this might just be the one.

And it's insane the amount of time I've been waiting for this game. I'm actually so happy it's releasing.

[crimson remnant]

Part of the reason was honestly the sexy af pre order skin for the VSS

[stray zodiac]

9d 14h

[young walrus]

I think I'll be sticking with the Warsaw Pact type weapons for the first playthrough I have

I must hit the hay Now it's 1 AM. See you guys tomorrow.

[crimson remnant]

Ciao

[blissful peak]

really ? the countdowns online are saying 9D and 11 hours

[crimson remnant]

Damn i hope this game runs on deck

[jaunty pebble]

We dont know when it will release, the countdowns assume an hour

Mol1t said that he would share a global release hour map

[blissful peak]

ofc, but hopes come up cause its sooner

[blissful peak]

yup but sooner to the release date

[stray zodiac]

idk, im just looking at my time zone 😄 imma play it in the next morning anyway

[grand roost]

Hype is off the charts. Reminds me of cp2077. I believe we will not have much technical problems, but my concerns is that map will be empty.

[austere crypt]

Hmm, I mean they have the original trilogy to pull from in terms of points of interest.

[signal bronze]

hardcore or standard difficulty for first playthrough?

[pseudo rivet]

Hardest for sure

[grand roost]

I hope that starting weapons won't be peeshoters. Because magduping for single enemy is ridicolous.

[willow spoke]

Yo can someone give me the sitrep for all the new factions in stalker 2 pls

[runic arch]

With the physical edition you will receive a digital CD code. Which platform will it be on ( Steam ) ?

[blissful peak]

yup will be for steam

[willow spoke]

Yo wait wtf I can't pre order anymore?

It just gives me strelok shaq eating a fried chicken wing

[runic arch]

https://www.stalker2.com/news/physical-edition-update Info

[willow spoke]

They don't cover Asia..

...
Ah...
So it's over...

[bitter void]

if i preorder ultim edition via steam will i still recive all the items via mail?

[runic arch]

You get the stuff via Steam just like a DLC

[bitter void]

what about the physical items like the lamp

[blissful peak]

wdym ? ultm edition all items will be available ingame in ur steam

[austere crypt]

Well, you could get one through a forwarding service maybe.

[storm raft]

Could someone Please DM me when the stalker 2 Xbox pre load is available my Xbox GT is in my profile

[blissful peak]

those are not the ultimate edition from steam

[runic arch]

https://www.stalker2.com/news/physical-edition-update

[runic arch]

Everything you buy on Steam is digital only

[bitter void]

right is there a way i can get those items even if i buy through steam?

[austere crypt]

No, not the physical ones.

[blissful peak]

nope. you need the physical edition

[rocky trellis]

Btw, are these stalker events usually ingame events?

[runic arch]

Game Legends covers: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Finland, Denmark, Turkey, Lithuania, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Estonia, Bulgaria. North/South America will be covered by DPI. Rest of Europe will be covered by DPI: United Kingdom, Slovenia, Ireland, Iceland, Serbia, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Malta, Latvia, Cyprus.

[austere crypt]

You can get the steam key though.

[bitter void]

please explain faust

[austere crypt]

You can order via a forwarding service maybe or buy off eBay from scalpers (I don't recommend but you gotta do what you gotta do)

[blissful peak]

once u buy the new reprint of the physical edition you will get an email with the steam game key on the release date

[runic arch]

only if you then buy the physical edition online again via e.g.: Game legends

[austere crypt]

So, in the US you can buy Asian exclusive stuff from a website like buyee.jp they basically buy your merch with an Asian address and ship it to you. I think there are probably sites that do the reverse.

[patent mortar]

How do you get Friend's of Freedom achievement in CoP?

[austere crypt]

Buying from eBay would be easier if anyone is listing them. But it will cost more and yeah

[runic arch]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Ultimate Edition Reprint (Code in a Box) (PC) on Game Legends (389,99€) Game Legends covers: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Finland, Denmark, Turkey, Lithuania, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Estonia, Bulgaria.

[patent mortar]

eh nevermind

[bitter void]

appricate the help guys

[austere crypt]

He's in Asia
He would have to have it shipped from eBay or a proxy service

[willow spoke]

It's over.
The zone has fallen
Billions must die

[runic arch]

Yes I know. There is also a dealer on the main website that covers Asian. But he won't get anything via Steam. Or he has a friend who lives in Europe who can send it to him.

[willow spoke]

I literally saved up for the fuсking thing.

[bitter void]

from US

[jaunty pebble]

Maybe Sega didn’t it to be sold? I dont know why it did happen though

Because Plaion handles the distribution

[runic arch]

If you have someone from the USA then they can send it to you

[jaunty pebble]

For those who still don’t know, Sega is the Asian publisher for Stalker 2

[bitter void]

i mean im in the US

[jaunty pebble]

OK hold on, my bad

[austere crypt]

Oh, I never saw a dealer in the main site that lists Asian regions my bad

Oh yeah it's vape that is from Asia

[jaunty pebble]

Sega handles Japan publishment, 4divinity handles China and South East Asia publishment

[runic arch]

Well then I don't really understand your problem. if you are in America then you can order it via DPI

[austere crypt]

Vape it looks like they do cover Asia

[runic arch]

it's all ok

[bitter void]

i just dont understand where to order the psychical version with a steam code

[runic arch]

North/South America will be covered by DPI.

[jaunty pebble]

For digital publishment these are. For physical I dont know. Plaion handles that

[runic arch]

If you buy the physical edition you will not receive a CD but a code for Steam on November 20th

[jaunty pebble]

“By placing an order with one of these links, you will receive the digital copy of the corresponding edition of the game at launch, and the physical content itself will be delivered to you after a short wait before the end of April 2025. The links will be active until November 10th.”

[runic arch]

But what does all this have to do with Asia? 😅

[rose apex]

What does this "gone gold" mean exactly??

They are saying

[bitter void]

was wondering that too lmao

[worthy lagoon]

The game is finished and ready

[jaunty pebble]

Basically there is a 1.0 build ready for shipping

No more additions, no more changes, no more fixes

[rose apex]

Oh ok 😅

[bitter void]

oh just release it now then 😄

[rose apex]

Yeah exactly

[bitter void]

i joke i joke haha

[jaunty pebble]

The release marketing has to be done

[rose apex]

Why torture us 10 more days..!!

[crisp ruin]

*9

[worthy lagoon]

Because there's faction wars going on

[crisp ruin]

[jaunty pebble]

Stalker 2 release postponed for the faction wars

[rose apex]

Oh yeah I heard that. Like who is doing that?

[jaunty pebble]

[jaunty pebble]

Its a community event, dont have to participate

[runic arch]

[rose apex]

Like multiplayer match?

[bitter void]

the amount of childhood nightmares i hope this game brings back 🥲 good ol days

[worthy lagoon]

Rules will be posted tomorrow, but you can win prizes including STALKER 2 Ultimate Edition

[rose apex]

Woah then I need to participate

[sour goblet]

New factions

1. Iskra (Iskra was formed after Call of Pripyat, they are similar to Clear Sky and Freedom in ideals. They broke away from the Ecologists and now want to preserve the zone, like Freedom, their English name is Spark, and their members include Scar and Hermann.)

2. SIRCAA (Scientific Institute for Research of the Chornobyl Anomalous Area, this is Strelok's newly established research organization after the events of Call of Pripyat, they also play the role of antagonist in Heart of Chornobyl, they are similar to the Ecologists, they are funded by the government and are protected by the Military.)

3. IPSF (Iskra's supposed main opposition, not much is known about them yet.)

4. Ward (Ward is supposedly the armed branch to SIRCAA, Strelok's research group, this means they are also linked to the Military. Ward is made up of highly trained mercenaries and they are currently speculated to be a policing force of the zone.)

5. Noon (Noon was established shortly after Call of Pripyat took place, their main goal (or Strider's) in CoP was to find out what happened to them, Noon is the home to former Monolith fighters, this phenomenon of "waking up" usually happens when the brainwashing wears off after they wander far away enough, and stay away long enough, in Heart of Chornobyl, Faust and Strider will fight for leadership over the faction.)

[wise geyser]

To all the people with review codes playing early rn

[jaunty pebble]

Basically if you have a faction role, you are already participating

[runic arch]

how many GB will S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 have ?

[wise geyser]

I hope you walk into an anomaly

[bitter void]

i quiet literally built a new pc just for this game 😄

[jaunty pebble]

For now, 150GB until the specs sheet is updated for resolution and frames

[sour goblet]

quite* 👍

[runic arch]

o.O´

[rose apex]

I ordered a cheap ssd for the game bcuz I use hard drive mostly 😅

[jaunty pebble]

I mean, 64 square km map, no loading screen, according to devs around 30-40 hour story(the time can change depending on your pace)

[wise geyser]

120 hours if side quests taken into account as well

And ofc difficulty and your pace while exploring needs to be taken into account

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, and you will not see EVERY BIT of story in one playthrough

[wise geyser]

Yeah

[rose apex]

How many types of difficulty settings they are giving?

[jaunty pebble]

I believe 3 base difficulties and 1 post release

[runic arch]

👍 (•_•)👍

[jaunty pebble]

Though I am not certain of this info

[wise geyser]

I believe it’s gonna be the same as the originals maybe

[bitter void]

will there be a pre-download option before launch?

[rose apex]

I recommended shadow of Chernobyl to a freind he played 10 mins and uninstalled..

[wise geyser]

Stalker, veteran, master and then Ironman down the line

Which everyone knows I love me some Ironman 😎

[sour goblet]

uncultured fr

[jaunty pebble]

I asked this and it got answered on #📜┃gsc-answers basically they will communicate more on this when the time comes

[worthy lagoon]

The only people playing the game are GSC employees

[jaunty pebble]

So basically around a week before release I assume

[solid verge]

I still want to know if there will be a photo mode in the game

[rose apex]

He said the game looks so dead and lifeless gloomy.. 🤣

[wise geyser]

I thought some of the YTs got review copy’s?

[jaunty pebble]

That’s literally the purpose

[sour goblet]

The only thing we have to fear is Kuro posting "DEEZ NUTS"

[jaunty pebble]

I think the review copies have went out to Journo’s or it will be sent in a short time

[rose apex]

I think they could have given us a 10 min demo or something for people to try and review the game not journalists..

[wise geyser]

Nahhhh

[sour goblet]

if people reviewed the game it would have automatically gotten 100/10, so no point

[wise geyser]

That would be like giving us the purest crack then saying okay now you gotta wait

[jaunty pebble]

A 10 minute demo is nothing. It would be like hanging a carrot on a stick and immidieatly pulling it back

[wise geyser]

😂😂

Plus tbh I’ve already saw damn near the whole gamescom demo

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, they would give us the best meth and then say “No you have to wait for the release to get more”

[wise geyser]

So ik some of the opening atleast but that’s as far as I’m going

[tiny olive]

Must be a fallout boy

[wise geyser]

Lmao Ong

[rose apex]

Did anyone actually visit gamescom from this server to play the demo?Just wondering 🤔💭

[wise geyser]

Nope just saw leaked footage

[jaunty pebble]

I know some people did

Even if not in this server

[wise geyser]

Wasn’t really much footage tho tbh the whole demo was explained pretty much lmao and you could’ve been known from the trailers for the outcome of it

[jaunty pebble]

Yea

[wise geyser]

Skif literally explains it in one of the trailers lmao but not gonna spoil

So I’m pretty much either than that

Going in blind asf 👌🗿👌

[rose apex]

No no don't say man 😅

[wise geyser]

Not gonna Brodie there’s no point

Like quite literally when I say skif said the shit bar for bar lmao like it really ain’t shit

[unkempt remnant]

pc

[unkempt remnant]

i have the other 3, played some of shadow of chernobyl

[unkempt remnant]

ill look into it, thank you

[azure topaz]

This just reminded me when I got my friend to play SoC, he called Sid 'George the Yapper'

[jaunty pebble]

Oh, ok. Guessed I understood wrongly

[worthy lagoon]

For the best experience it's best if you play the trilogy so you'd have context and you know the characters, this is the order:

1. shadow of Chernobyl

2. Clear Sky

3. Call of Pripyat

[unkempt remnant]

nono, i have played shadow of chernobyl for like an hour and the other two i havent played

[unkempt remnant]

ill play some more when i get home today

[worthy lagoon]

Nice, enjoy

[unkempt remnant]

thank you

[crisp ruin]

Have fun

[azure topaz]

If your also feeling bored go play mods (Anomaly is fine but Gamma is not so fine)

[prime current]

I really should play the other games first

[azure topaz]

though play however you like to

[rose apex]

"But GamMa haS BetTeR GraPhicS "

[wise geyser]

Snap this close to release I would not recommend that if they’ve never played the base trilogy yet

[sour goblet]

here is the list of factions and subfactions that have disbanded/might not exist

1. Clear Sky (Disbanded)
2. Renegades (Disbanded)
3. ISRIT (Broke off from Ecologists and became S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's Iskra)
4. Interception (Might not exist)
5. Final Day/Last Day (Disbanded)
6. The Group (Disbanded)
   also you're welcome

[azure topaz]

I didn't really get into Gamma since I'm not that good at modding

[azure topaz]

[sour goblet]

by the way, if you look more into Clear Sky, Renegades, The Group and SIRCAA, you will spoiler some of the games for yourself, so i suggest you dont

[wise geyser]

I’m supposed to be starting my marathon today

3 days each game 9 days

I’ll prob start it at like 5 later in the day

[sour goblet]

you can finish cop in 2 days

[wise geyser]

Oh yeah no I have no bout I’ll beat the games it’s more than enough time

[azure topaz]

I mean its a short game so you could easily do it in one day but its gonna get boring if you keep playing it through the entire day

[wise geyser]

It’s more just for a refresh going into stalker 2

Ima replay em then on the 19th watch the dugout recap and in the 20th welp

[rose apex]

I am gonna play Roblox in the meantime before s2 releases.

[wise geyser]

You guys will not see me for a while

[sour goblet]

good enough

[azure topaz]

I have to finish rdr2 quickly since I need to free up as much space as possible for the game

[wise geyser]

Kidding bruh 🤣

[azure topaz]

Don't forget OP 2.2's billions of factions

[exotic cosmos]

Hi, I wanted to buy the physical edition of Stalker 2 but with Ukraine writing on it to ship it to western europe. Is that possible?

[wise geyser]

Oh no lmao I mean check #💬┃en_offtop

[willow spoke]

OH SHUT THE FUСК UP WOLF IM LITERALLY HOURS AWAY FROM MISSING OUT STALKER 2 FOR GOOD

[sour goblet]

these are canon factions/subfactions, they are all mentioned or ingame

[willow spoke]

GOD FUСКING DAMMIT I HAVE TO CONTACT 4DIVINITY AND WAIT FOR A SELLER TO RESPOND

[sour goblet]

oke ur choice bro

[willow spoke]

WHY HAS GOD FORSAKEN ME

[azure topaz]

I should really play OP 2.2 but i'm too stupid to download it so I'm just going to keep playing call of the zone

[willow spoke]

ALL I WANTED WAS TO BLOW MY SALARY ON STALKER 2

[sour goblet]

lmao

[wise geyser]

What do u mean miss out on it you will still be able to buy it lmao

[steel pollen]

New player here, is this something I can jump into and understand? Or should I be preparing someway. Never played any stalkers b4.

[willow spoke]

No physical edition.

[azure topaz]

despite that call of the zone still crashes often so im gonna have to live with it

[wise geyser]

Ohhhh

[willow spoke]

It's over.

I saved up months for this for nothing.

Now I know how did Hitler feel like.

[sour goblet]

that is the reality with most mods

[azure topaz]

[sour goblet]

bro read mein kampf in stalker anomaly 💀

[icy snow]

does anyone know if i preorder the limited edition on amazon if i get a steam key or what? there is nothing about this on their page. i dont want to end up with a epic or gog key in the end...

[willow spoke]

Wait you can actually read it 💀

[sour goblet]

no

[jaunty pebble]

You can go in without playing any of the previous games but some moments won’t hit as emotional as they are meant to be. If you want to experience all then you should play Shadow Of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call Of Pripyat(in this order)

[jaunty pebble]

PC versions come with Steam Keys

[sour goblet]

you can jump in, but some of the lore will be missed. you will have to play the previous games to fully understand most details, if you want help with the factions, read the list in #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay, but you might spoiler things for yourself

[wise geyser]

🗿

Brodie compared the feelings off genocide to missing out on a physical copy of stalker 2 💀

Excuse me

Mass Genocide my mistake

[willow spoke]

They're equal pains cus it's once in a lifetime

[wise geyser]

🗿

[sour goblet]

we should stop talking about austrian man

[worthy lagoon]

Please don't say that even as a joke, you had plenty of time to pre order the physical edition, exactly 4-3 years to be precise

[willow spoke]

YEA BUT RECENTLY I GOT A GOOD JOB AND GOOD SALARY

[wise geyser]

Lmao trust me Brodie I know first hand about making jokes in here listen to Kuro 😭

[sour goblet]

shouldve become a bandit and stolen money. smh.

[worthy lagoon]

That's that and this is this, there's nothing we can do about it

[jaunty pebble]

I was just about to say that

[wise geyser]

I got banned for that exact reason lmao 😂

[jaunty pebble]

If Kuro gets serious and warns you not to continue it, he means it

And he is the goofiest mod I have experienced here

[wise geyser]

[nimble cipher]

vapeninja has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[willow spoke]

[sour goblet]

[willow spoke]

[spiral stump]

You should control your emotions a bit

[sour goblet]

freedom and hermits do not welcome you

[spiral stump]

Just stick to the rules, no need to use slurs every 3 seconds

[willow spoke]

I said Anarcho nihilism not Anarcho Jamaica.

[sour goblet]

[sour goblet]

[wise geyser]

[willow spoke]

[crisp ruin]

[wise geyser]

Before you end up like me

[sour goblet]
