[dense hatch]

SoC also has bright nights

[celest blaze]

we cant compare as stalker 2 isnt out yet so we dont know how it will feel or look like

[frigid anchor]

Map size is irrelevan't haha

[plain canyon]

guarantee mods will be around within a few hours of launch that can manipulate the day/night cycle

[celest blaze]

also dayz timeflow can be changed

[dense hatch]

I mean

[frigid anchor]

I didn't know this to be honest, but it's been a while since I played RDR2 so I can't compare out of memory

[frigid anchor]

That's why I'm comparing it with servers with the same configuration

[fossil cairn]

RDR2 days actually felt quite long

[untold salmon]

would it not change due to the skybox? surely a larger map would mean the sun needs to move slower or am i being stupid?

[celest blaze]

official dayz servers the sun wasnt racing across the sky so this is kind of pointless

[plain canyon]

its bc of the map. the amount you travel on a normal horse ride bounces off the time perfectly

[cyan canopy]

it dosent

[fossil cairn]

I was honestly walking more in my playthrough
Still felt pretty long! (well thsts prolly why lmao)

[frigid anchor]

Nope, also DayZ does a day/night cycle that also simulates latitude, location of the map in the IRL world, lunar phases and so much other stuff. It's a pretty good comparison if you match the times right. It would look identical if you introduced Pripyat's latitude on a server config, matched the 24h cycle times and compared them 1 to 1

[celest blaze]

i dont think stalker 2 is that indepth

[frigid anchor]

Official doens't do those times, I'm not talking about official servers. I'm using it as a comparison with servers that do.

[untold salmon]

i see i see

[plain canyon]

excited to see so many tarkov animation mods for stalker lmao. same thing that happened to fallout 4

all the food and drinks bahahaha

[celest blaze]

🤢

[sharp maple]

meh, i'm loving the vanilla animations already

[plain canyon]

"excited" as sarcasm

[west dagger]

Good save

[celest blaze]

oh

[frigid anchor]

Yeah GAMMA already does this, it's all unpacked Tarkov assets and sounds hahaha. It fits it right, so it will be good.

[plain canyon]

English is difficult my fault

[finite dragon]

my hatred for tarkov will never cease

[celest blaze]

ew lol

[static compass]

Stalker go brrrr

[celest blaze]

no worries

[sharp maple]

The only thing that annoys me is that skif loves to throw away his full mags on the ground while reloading.

[frigid anchor]

Tarkov is alright. Plus it is directly inspired by Stalker and other sovietpunk culture.

[celest blaze]

gamma has rotted the minds of so many

[raw pike]

1 hour days seems super fast to me, too. I hope we can increase it

[plain canyon]

this bothers me as well. I've been playing dayz alot recently and I was surprised when I learned you don't have to manage your mags haha

[static compass]

Gamma brain rot is a plague on these lands

[frigid anchor]

And scavs say A nu cheeki breeki, so it is good instantly

[celest blaze]

same id never give those scummy devs my money lol

[finite dragon]

fr, mos of mods for anomaly are tarkov type slop, meanwhile CoC is Peak vanila +

[plain canyon]

the game looks like they turned the sharpness setting to max

[celest blaze]

i love CoTZ aswell

[raw pike]

CoC is not remotely vanilla+ lmao what

[plain canyon]

gives me eye strain

[sharp maple]

i like the vanilla games AND Anomaly/GAMMA, sue me.

[frigid anchor]

I'm not a fan of their practices, what they did with the Unheard Edition was scummy as fuck, but the game is genuinely fun and unique in charm and feel. I don't think hating for the sake of hating is fair

[celest blaze]

coc/cotz is the closest vanilla+ freeplay mods

[finite dragon]

is a lot more closer to vanila stalker than anomaly

[raw pike]

Sure but the gap is still huge

[plain canyon]

does anyone know where I can see all the weapons featured in stalker 2? or if they have released images for them

[raw pike]

Anomaly is so different its essentially a completely new game being "closer to vanilla" does not make it "vanilla+" when it adds more factions and cut content and changes the story and so on

[finite dragon]

didnt they refused to make it single player mode because they didnt wanted too?

also its a forever early access

[sharp maple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gqb3cp/all_weapons_avaliable_in_stalker_2_confirmed_with/

[frigid anchor]

Someone summarized them all on Reddit yesterday I think

[plain canyon]

you guys are awesome thank you

[frigid anchor]

There is a Single Player mode, but it is inferior to the modded one lol, which is SPT

[sharp maple]

although the crossed out one's are duplicates, don't know why op left them there

[finite dragon]

werent devs banning for the sp mod?

[raw pike]

They recently sold a singleplayer mode but originally it was only going to be in a new edition that wasn't offered to people who bought the previous bundle that was advertised as including all future content

[frigid anchor]

Modded one is SO scary, NPCs behave like actual players, never seen anything like it. If you put someone on a SPT match and told them they are playing against humans they'd believe it hands down

[raw pike]

the SP mod doesn't connect to their servers or use their accounts

[finite dragon]

zaam

[frigid anchor]

Nah

I mean unless you go to their face and tell them you are using it and hand them your username of course

[tall swallow]

they dont ban for it man and theyve even said they would support modding. The discord just doesnt like mention of it

[raw pike]

I only know it doesn't because I didn't buy Tarkov but I still played SPT

[plain canyon]

begging they add the Mosin in some kinda post launch DLC

[raw pike]

Mosin lacking in a UA game is big sad

[frigid anchor]

They ban for it if they caught you (which is essentially impossible) because SPT usage literally breaks EFT's EULA

[raw pike]

I know it wasn't in the prior trilogy either though so ig its fine but its logically a strange thing

if the SKS and TOZ are floating around in the zone you'd expect some mosins too

[plain canyon]

such an iconic weapon too. maybe they will add more weapons or mods will do it themselves

[static compass]

Everybody talking about the mosin, but why can't we have the MTs255 Obrez

[frigid anchor]

Will be modded in before the end of the year

If modding is as good as they claim

[sharp maple]

i pray the the mod tools are good

[tacit prism]

modtool DLC for 59,99$

[frigid anchor]

They literally said modding would allow for total conversions. I hope their words were truthful.

[static compass]

I mean it's basically a 12 gauge revolver, goodbye wrist

[sharp maple]

hope so too

[plain canyon]

rockstar games would so something like this

[raw pike]

Depends on how much is UE and how much is proprietary. UE is on paper an accessible and moddable engine, but in practice I can't think of a single UE game with a large modding scene

[frigid anchor]

Rockstar is scummier than Battlestate Games

Which is something lol

[tacit prism]

battlestate was dimitri right

[static compass]

Nobody is worse than Ubisoft

[frigid anchor]

Plus their publisher is Take-Two. Take-Two bought Kerbal Space Program and then proceeded to kill it and burn the body.

Won't be paying shit for any of their products ever again. GTA 4 was the last good GTA anyway.

[plain canyon]

rockstar games
-create possibly one of the greatest games of all time
-tons of content
-heart gripping story
-talk about future online and story support
-abandon game and never mention it again

• GTA 6 Trailer

[sharp maple]

why make new content for rdr2 when shark cards make bank 😎

[frigid anchor]

I used to be excited for GTA... when I was fourteen

[plain canyon]

EA.

[static compass]

Ubisoft has become worse

[tacit prism]

dont forget the horse armor dlc

[plain canyon]

isn't ubisoft literally going broke

they've lost 9 billion dollars in market value no?

[raw pike]

You forgot the one where they announce GTAOnline and then tease future SP DLC too and then Online makes too much money and they immediately shut up about SP and never talk about it again and quietly merge those plans into Online content and dump the rest

[static compass]

Yeah, they're not doing well

[raw pike]

a lot of people either didn't read it or forgot but R* outright said there was going to be upcoming SP DLC for GTA5 before GTAO came out

[plain canyon]

do not remind me of the scrapped zombies campaign

[frigid anchor]

I like how they call DLCs to a lackluster update with a copied car with a new paint and a new shirt skin.

Just marvelous

[plain canyon]

remember that one update that removed like 160 cars

lmao peak rockstar

[frigid anchor]

I don't remember any, haven't touched GTA V ever since I bought it. Worst $20 spent in my whole life

[raw pike]

RDR2 in its second year got moonshine shacks in the woods as a major update at the same time that GTAV in its seventh year got an entire island heist and customizable submarine base

[frigid anchor]

But I know about it from a fanboy friend that drools over every step Rockstar takes

[static compass]

It needs to hurry up and be Wednesday already

[tacit prism]

i hope you can pick your pronouns in stalker2

[plain canyon]

don't forget beans are on discount

[exotic elk]

Anyone got a link to that stalker 2 branded gpu?

[raw pike]

Mods will add it and let you pick your own ears and tail too

Strelok x Scar romance when?

[celest blaze]

unless its dating strelok i aint interested

[tall furnace]

I want to be inside Strelok

what about a 10min unskippable kissing scene

[plain canyon]

do you guys remember mole from the first stalker

[tall furnace]

Running your own faction would be a cool concept I think

[plain canyon]

oh and speaking of wasted potential in games. dying light 2

[raw pike]

GSC gonna release Hip DLC companion for $50, make mad stacks

[tacit prism]

speak of wasted potential and "starfield" is typing

[static compass]

Nimble as a companion plz?

[tall furnace]

Damn bruh lol. I mean at least they tried something different. IMO the climbing is awesome. The beast looks good though.

[cloud gyro]

Hello again. I'd like to know if Stalker 2 confirms which endings in CoP were canon. For example, all survivors making it to the helicopter, Duty/Freedom ending their rivalry (if you go that route), or Beard overtaking Skadovsk.

[plain canyon]

my 9 year old nephew could've done a better story with his legos

[raw pike]

legal in UA

[tall furnace]

😂😂😂

[celest blaze]

i forgot shes 17 💀

[exotic elk]

thanks. is it not avail. in the 4090? that would explain my difficulty finding it lol

[plain canyon]

I did pre order that game though. I hope my faith is restored in Techland with The Beast

[celest blaze]

why TF does anomaly have underage girls in it

[plain canyon]

huh

[sharp maple]

just the 4070 i think

[raw pike]

release season pass expansion that contains zero new weapons, all reskins of base game weapons
actual new weapons only released on paid mods store and not included in season pass

[cloud gyro]

Is this true?

[celest blaze]

anomaly has mein kampf and a 17 year old girl in it anomaly looking sus af

[plain canyon]

the weapons of that game give me a headache

[tall furnace]

Same dl2 lacked the true feeling of fear dl1 had

[celest blaze]

Hip is 17 i just learned this the other day

[cloud gyro]

I guess there has to be some form of conflict. Doing the morally good route and call of priot would lead to nothing else to be done about the zone.

[raw pike]

Strelok definitely survives, Duty/Freedom definitely have not ended their rivalry. Skadovsk remains to be seen

[celest blaze]

hips charactor model mogs the others there she looks like a man

[plain canyon]

I never knew this

[cloud gyro]

I was told earlier that the game takes place ten years after Call of Pripyat. I was just curious about any other loose ends that may have been answered.

[raw pike]

Oh damn lol fr?

[celest blaze]

sena told me the other day i never knew of hips backstory

[tall furnace]

I do wonder what mysteries were gonna uncover I really hope it’s worth the wait

[plain canyon]

I pray for Metro 4

[raw pike]

https://www.stalker2.com/en/news/tour-the-zone Yup its right here on this page do a CTRL+F for Zaton

[celest blaze]

fr cant wait to explore

[cobalt nexus]

Why do people say Hip is the only female in Anomaly? Ive seen lady stalkers at Yantar

[cloud gyro]

Is sena trolling then?

[celest blaze]

what? theres others ?

[glass salmon]

I know when Stalker 2 comes out I’m slowly exploring the zone and all its nooks and crannies looking for a vintar or unique weapons lmao

[tall furnace]

I may try and wife her up. I wonder if skiff has a rizz??

[celest blaze]

shes 17

[tall furnace]

💀

[celest blaze]

haha its all good you didnt know

[tall furnace]

👀

[cobalt nexus]

Unless Hip travelled to yantar or the ecologists have some they/them stalkers

[tall furnace]

Skiff cooked fr

[cloud gyro]

How do some people know the game takes place ten years later? I'm just trying to get some simple answers about the endings of Call of Pripyat.

[celest blaze]

i never really made it that far in anomaly and its modpacks cuz its kinda mid

[tall furnace]

Pripyat went hard fr

[raw pike]

You keep repeating this but considering the time jump she'd be almost 30 in Stalker2

[cobalt nexus]

Yep its like diet stalker

[tacit prism]

the end is like "helicopter goes vroom"

[raw pike]

There's a ton of promo material that mentions prior events between the games

[celest blaze]

shes also not canon

[raw pike]

also man this "Tour the Zone" site I hadn't seen before has a lot of new info to me, like Red Fortress, that wasn't in the trilogy was it?

[cloud gyro]

I see. I care more about the story than the gameplay, so I'm just trying to get a clear picture.

[raw pike]

I know a Red Forest, idk no Red Fortress

[untold salmon]

In a trailer theres a scene of Doctor saying "and what do we have a decade later? the zone, in our image"

[cloud gyro]

I remember that, but how do we know he's not talking from an earlier time frame?

[untold salmon]

although it could also be 10 years after the second disaster which would put the game in 2016

[raw pike]

Yeah we all know that, I'm just saying even following the fanfic timeline she'd be almost 30

[untold salmon]

my bet is that its probably set in the 2020s tho

[cloud gyro]

Is there a gag order on people who have played the game where they're not allowed to share anything about the story ending of CoP? Assuming S2 is after chronologically.

[celest blaze]

im gonna gag strelok ong

[tall furnace]

Anyone gonna be playing the game with headphones??? I know I am gotta get immserved and jump scared by an enemy AI flanking me lol.

[static compass]

CoP has been out for years, people speak about the ending all the time

[cloud gyro]

I was hoping to get some verifiable information, but it seems I'll have to wait another week.

[celest blaze]

ill play with headphones as fps games on speakers can get obnoxious to neighbors

[raw pike]

multiple people have already answered your question about the CoP ending what are you talking about?

[static compass]

All those sweet sweet gunshot echoes

[cloud gyro]

Just because multiple people state something doesn't mean it's evidence for it. That's known as hearsay.

[sharp maple]

then why did u ask? lmao

[celest blaze]

whenever my upstairs neighbors in old place would fight and argue id just turn on battlefield with surround sound and spam lmg lol

[finite dragon]

i got the scar vintar bc

stonks

[raw pike]

What do you want, man? I linked you the site that shows what happened to Skavodsk, you want a link about Strelok too? just watch the trailers there's not that many of them

[cloud gyro]

First, no one seems to have a clear answer to what happens in the endings of CoP. That you're suddenly speaking now means you should have said something earlier. I don't like my time being wasted.

[static compass]

Based reaction

[cloud gyro]

People giving conflicting reports about the canon endings of a game is disheartening.

[raw pike]

nah this dude gotta be trolling. First its nobody answered, then its "no evidence", now its just whinging about the answers

[celest blaze]

???

youtube call of pripyat endings @cloud gyro

[cloud gyro]

It's more akin to a detective getting different answers about the same situation.

I've seen all of this. which slides are canon

That is the key.

[celest blaze]

GSC will tell us which ones are canon in stalker 2

[finite dragon]

there are no Cnon slides of CoP until S2 comes out

like new vegas there is non canon ending (yet)

[tacit prism]

strelok and sidorovich are making out in the chopper, thats canon

[sharp maple]

Here's an answer; you'll find out what's canon when stalker 2 releases and you play the game... like everyone else.

[cloud gyro]

This argument is meaningless as a new game is about to come out, supposedly set after the last one.

[celest blaze]

???

[cobalt nexus]

Ive been playing Narodnaya Solyanka OGSR. Its both difficult and Wacky. Probably the most fun I have had with a mod

[raw pike]

The only key event that can change in CoPs ending and definitely is true in S2 is that Strelok must have successfully survived because he has info to pass on that is part of the founding of SIRCAA

[celest blaze]

bro you initiated it

[celest blaze]

fr

[raw pike]

The rest of it can be either way and have changed in the 10 years between games

plus re: the duty/freedom thing, you never have them get over their rivalry. They just co-exist in that one zone and thats it. They're still rivals lol

[cloud gyro]

This is the most concise and best answer I've gotten so far. Although a shame, to be honest.

[finite dragon]

Strelok not diying has been canon since the cancelled S2 leaks

[celest blaze]

stalker 2 isnt canon now

[raw pike]

Sure but this dude keeps going on about wanting evidence. SIRCAA existing in S2 is evidence

[cloud gyro]

The geography doesn't concern me. I'm primarily focused on the storyline.

[sharp maple]

smh my head

[celest blaze]

i am the retcon

[cobalt nexus]

Strelok only dies if you lack the skill to keep him alive before the chopper

[indigo marsh]

I mean we do know some of the endings. Like that Strelok lived ending was correct.

[static compass]

Obviously we know Strider lived as well

[raw pike]

Oh there's also that Monolith squad, yeah Strider

[cloud gyro]

If you can't give objective information, then don't talk.

[wide flume]

I need me a stalker edit with some chief keef

[static compass]

Noon

[raw pike]

Thanks Nuka I was just trying to remember what his name was and you said the same thing

[cloud gyro]

I'm looking for objectivity.

[celest blaze]

bro just joined today and is telling people to be quiet

[raw pike]

I'm tellin you bro is trolling or something

[static compass]

Yee, Strider leads Noon, they're all former monolith

[cloud gyro]

It doesn't matter when I joined. I wanted answers to a question.

[celest blaze]

deff a troll his profile name looks like his head was dragged across a keyboard

[static compass]

What's the question

[west dagger]

We all know Alexander the goat. I hope he and scar are homies

[finite dragon]

its game it aint that deep

[tall furnace]

He is now the AlPhA

[wide flume]

Pack the rage bait up, if your not even gonna try to not make it obvious

[dark sedge]

as soon as stalker 2 releases, there will be an emission in the GSC servers

[celest blaze]

i am the answer

[tacit prism]

Sigma Strelok and Sigma Sidorovich are canon

[celest blaze]

wheres my shrigma men at

[tacit prism]

(add thonk here)

[wide flume]

My boo cakes scar is canon

[static compass]

Sigmorovich

[raw pike]

Scar having permanent brain damage from emission exposure is also canon

[cloud gyro]

I'm unsure what assumptions you're leading to, but I'm just trying to get some straightforward answers.

[sharp maple]

honestly from what we've seen from the scar trailer that checks out

[static compass]

To what question?

[west dagger]

That’s just his autism

[celest blaze]

Dont take the bait

[wide flume]

And I’m trying to freak a snork😝

[raw pike]

That's exactly what I'm basing it on lol bro is unhinged and I say that as someone that still signed up for Spark lmao

maybe he had brain damage before, who knows

[untold salmon]

I love our local autism rep

[native ibex]

Whoof

[terse blaze]

I honestly just want to see what they look like, seems like a dumb thing to get hemmed up on but I'd like to see it before upgrading is all

[native ibex]

Big miss, GSC.

Cmon now, why's every game run like Cyberpunk 2077 did on release these days

[static compass]

They might show them a couple days before release

[sharp maple]

probably closer to launch, at least i hope

[inland hamlet]

thats why we have DLSS 😄

[terse blaze]

Yeah, I'd definitely want to upgrade my stuff if I saw the things I was purchasing, I can see it not being a big deal to people who are already big fans though

[static compass]

They finally showed the preorder stuff last week

[tacit prism]

the human eye cant see more than 24fps so we are fine guys 🙏

[alpine ibex]

Skill issues

[inland hamlet]

depends on the game i say

[sharp maple]

dlss is fine, looks better than TAA

[finite dragon]

semper skibidi

[inland hamlet]

if dlss looks shit frame gen fix it 😄

[tacit prism]

hahahahahaha

[alpine ibex]

I can see beyond 24fps smell it feel it

[round frost]

Damn RIP my 3080 at 4K

[tacit prism]

ill name my first child skibidiah

[finite dragon]

speaking of fps I have NO idea what the hell people are talking about, when a game is running properly it all looks the same to me

[terse blaze]

I never played the original, does the story from this one pick up from the first?

[sharp maple]

unfortunately yes, but that wasn't its original purpose

[finite dragon]

It's a sequel to the first three games

[round frost]

I will play it at the lower settings on CRT for max Zone immersion.

[finite dragon]

it's set after the events of all three, to my knowledge anyways

[terse blaze]

ah okay, so the same characters are used with established story? So i'd need to play the others to know what's going on

[sharp maple]

i miss my crt

[tacit prism]

i heard you can import all your old savegames so the story adapts to your decisions

[finite dragon]

there are characters from the og games that most of the people who have played will recognize, but there will also be new characters

[tacit prism]

the walking stalker episode 1-5

[terse blaze]

what about the main character, he from the other games or is he new?

[finite dragon]

but effectively yes you could play the first three to fully understand OR just watch a youtube recap, either or

[sharp maple]

new

[terse blaze]

oh cool, i might have to grab this game

[untold salmon]

GSC have said that you dont need to play the others, chances are you'll learn as you go its just you wont pick up on stuff as fast as players of the original trilogy

[finite dragon]

I watched a few last night to get me up to snuff since it's been quite a while since I did a full plauthrough of either three of the games

[round frost]

I got a couple in my basement.

[finite dragon]

Completly new guy

[terse blaze]

Can anyone tell me what the multiplayer is like? I heard it's just sort of thrown in there for funsies

[finite dragon]

you can dm me if you have any other questions because of delayed chat

[finite dragon]

not sure if anyone knows, tbh

[tacit prism]

team deathmatch i guess

[indigo marsh]

It is like a Team death match

[sharp maple]

if it's anything like the old game's, just a pvp deathmatch mode

[nimble cipher]

🚫 drycrow, that command is disabled in this channel.

[north fulcrum]

Spark is a new faction?

[terse blaze]

ohhh okay

[round frost]

Someone should make a mod called Amnesia: The Marked One for the new release.

[terse blaze]

thanks yall

[north fulcrum]

i've think i seeen a few new factions or something?

[edgy gate]

Can't wait. 6 days is soooo close and so far

[indigo marsh]

Bro thought he could gamble in this channel 😂

[finite dragon]

man, I was hoping for some legit co-op, but I understand why they wouldn't

[north fulcrum]

aaa iskra is for scinetists

what other new factions are we getting>?

[round frost]

Tabarnak

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. It is based on the group made in CoP if you help the scientists.

[north fulcrum]

yes i know i know just did not thnik about it tbh

Do you guys think we will be able to join factions?

[finite dragon]

hopefully

but I also mess with just being a freelancer and playing all sides

it would be silly not being able too

merc life, money is my master

[north fulcrum]

amen to that

[dark sedge]

opinions on stalcraft

[north fulcrum]

guess we will see

[sharp maple]

probably not join, but definitely side with them

[finite dragon]

It's aight

[sharp maple]

skif has his own goals after all

[north fulcrum]

guess moders going to fix that

[finite dragon]

freeplay mod of S2

[north fulcrum]

and from what i understood from trailers cs is dead

[finite dragon]

so i can join Monolith

Just to clarify skif will be silent like the other protags, right?

[sharp maple]

no, voiced

[finite dragon]

nuh uhh

[finite dragon]

Oh damn? that's sick, actually

[north fulcrum]

😦

[sharp maple]

in cutscenes

actually nvm in dialogue too

[finite dragon]

CS has been cablooeid

[indigo marsh]

We are getting ward , which is the police of the zone that also protects iskra.
ISPF International perimeter forces.
Noon is made up of ex-monolith guys who ||either support strider or Faust. Faust supports going back to the Monolith||

[candid radish]

Word

I know nothing about Strider ngl, I only played SoC and a little bit of CoP

[finite dragon]

Does Loki die in CoP? I can't remember

and is he even around in CS?

[indigo marsh]

No

[tacit prism]

LEAKED INFO: stalker 2 intro starts with a non skippable 15 minute cutscene with strelok, sidorovich and scar making out

[round frost]

I just hope I can get my Cossacks vodka, the rest doesn't matter.

[sharp maple]

hot

[round frost]

I didn't read, don't want to know. Anything unrelated to Cossacks vodka doesn't interest me.

[finite dragon]

zaam CS anomalies are harcore, i had forgot these one deleted you

Do you think they'd kill of Loki between the games, since his VA died? (Rip Vlad)

unlike CoP ones

[tacit prism]

yea theyre scary

[still ridge]

Nah it seems he’s actually going to be a fully voiced and fleshed out character with motivations and backstory

Which is a first for the series

[finite dragon]

true that

[finite dragon]

i dread gravitational anomalies

Though I will say I liked having a blank slate

[north fulcrum]

will there be early play for pre orders

[west dagger]

Who was the freedom sniper dude in CoP who was chill af

[finite dragon]

thats, me i like blank slates

[still ridge]

Nope

[sharp maple]

no

[indigo marsh]

^

[north fulcrum]

dayum

[sharp maple]

that's a good thing

[tacit prism]

early play and preload are 49,99$ DLC

[north fulcrum]

It is?

[finite dragon]

.

[still ridge]

Me when I lie

[sharp maple]

yes, everyone should be able to play at the same time

[still ridge]

[north fulcrum]

xd

[finite dragon]

spreading false info on the interwebs makes me

[tacit prism]

why would anyone lie on the internet

[finite dragon]

attention is a helluva drug

[still ridge]

How? Everything we’ve seen suggests he and certain other characters are going to be far more compelling and fleshed out as opposed to what the original games had for characters.

[west dagger]

Le donger got smited

[tacit prism]

lol

[indigo marsh]

Uncle Yar.

[west dagger]

I hope he returns. He was awesome

All the companion dudes were that were in the underground

[indigo marsh]

He is CS also and is a technician in CS. I liked the shit Yar and Ashot said over the megaphone at freedom base in CS.

[finite dragon]

I need a character like Uncle Yar who will be something of a fun loving father figure for Skif, only for him to tragically die

[north fulcrum]

im curious how will the voiced guy we play fit in later with modding quests

[west dagger]

I love when characters are full of rich pasts or blank skates

[finite dragon]

ya'll think there'll be references to Strelok, etc?

[sharp maple]

most definitely

[finite dragon]

no way a cameo though

[indigo marsh]

Sounds like Skif but he is like a gen Z and not a father

[west dagger]

My goat better show up

[native ibex]

I'm fairly excited

[untold salmon]

Nimble my beloved where art thou

[west dagger]

He stays in the zone in canon too

[native ibex]

Weapons guy is slightly cooler than every other guy

[finite dragon]

Sidirovich will appear for two seconds, take a bite of chicken, and leave

mumble something about the marked one

[dire dagger]

Skiff is so skibidi

[west dagger]

Skiffidi

[tacit prism]

noo mods are back, better be quiet now

[finite dragon]

Skif is changing his name to Spliff after he meets the Freedomers

[still ridge]

Yes and it’s wrong, respectfully. We don’t even know all the dialogue so how could you say the VA is bland?

We’re talking about skif.

[finite dragon]

If I'm not able to get toked up with the freedomers then I will cry

[indigo marsh]

Skif is in the Scar trailer

[still ridge]

A mundane conversation by the campfire btw

[sharp maple]

sounds like a normal dude talking, wouldn't call that bland.

[finite dragon]

I just stalk(er)

[still ridge]

Talking in a neutral tone during a conversation doesn’t make it bland

By a campfire in a secure location presumably

[west dagger]

Mfw the protagonist doesn’t have the voice of John halo or commander shepherd

[tacit prism]

we need hyper enthusiastic american voice actors like in an anime

[finite dragon]

a boar scared the soul of out me

swamps at nigth aint a joke

[finite dragon]

We'll scavenge, okay?

[indigo marsh]

Imagine the zone weed shortage of 2012 is still a thing

[finite dragon]

All the freedomers are just super cranky because they have not smoked good weed in ages

[dense hatch]

fr

[sharp maple]

fair

[still ridge]

I understand, and while that may be the case it doesn’t make it bland and generic

Imo

[finite dragon]

they've resorted to a Metro type beat where they smoke mushroom cigarettes

[indigo marsh]

They have weed in 2011 and they are the crankiest in that time period

[still ridge]

Bro I’m telling you my opinion

Relax

[finite dragon]

but only because of the shidders who shall not be named

[sharp maple]

dude calm down lol

[still ridge]

All I’m saying is I disagree and that we should wait for the game to release and actually play it before coming to a conclusion

[finite dragon]

Imagine if I could just FNV Lonesome Road the dutiers

[indigo marsh]

I disagree

[still ridge]

Zone nukes theory…

[finite dragon]

Either they let me convert those uptight shittenfartens or they get the "oh say, can you see?" treatment

Perhaps it’s been asked but can anybody on Xbox preload the game? Physical copy, digital copy, Xbox Game Pass?

[finite dragon]

Let's talk about how zombies are the saddest thing ever (stalker zombies, not the undead)

[sharp maple]

i wonder if we'll be able to swap out the gp37's optic? 🤔

[nimble cipher]

_moldy_cabbage_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tacit prism]

haha

[round frost]

I want PDA customization, hours of pure fun.

[finite dragon]

their voicelines too, jesus

[dense hatch]

they're just lobotomized stalkers

[celest blaze]

I put them out of their misery since I feel bad for them

[finite dragon]

one of the worst videogame fates

[dense hatch]

extreme psy induced brain damage

[tacit prism]

so like freedoms

[dense hatch]

you can get a lot worse

[finite dragon]

In particular the "ahh, I'm bleeding mama" and "Sweet daughter, look at how big you've grown"

[dense hatch]

like you aren't really suffering because your entire brain is fried to the point of being mush

[finite dragon]

Oh absolutely, but zombidied stalkers are bleak as hell to me

[sacred igloo]

"Papa will be home soon"

[finite dragon]

the trauma suits from FNV have kept people alive for hundreds of years, which they've slowly rotted away inside of

[dense hatch]

if the stalkers were actually aware and not just extremely vaguely sentient than yeah

[finite dragon]

5 .....

[dense hatch]

the trauma suits in FNV activate after death

[finite dragon]

Oh, I thought the whole point was to get a wounded soldier from point a to point b

[dense hatch]

it's why they can't say anything but their last words

[finite dragon]

(keeping them alive in the process)

[dense hatch]

they were supposed to just transport wounded people but instead it pilots them even after death

[finite dragon]

ahhhh

[dense hatch]

at that point the body is just used as a frame

[finite dragon]

Harold, then

[dense hatch]

I don't think it's explained at all why they're so violent

[finite dragon]

Y'all woudnt it be better if s2 released today In a Friday instead in the middle of the Phucking week?

[finite dragon]

don't give them any ideas!!!!!

[dense hatch]

his very life is spreading plant life to an area that is previously desolate, you can even convince him that what he's doing is great

[cosmic isle]

What happens to the call of pripyat dude post game

[finite dragon]

He leaves the zone

[tacit prism]

stalker 2 should be delayed for another year tbh 😎

[dense hatch]

he leaves and is promoted

[finite dragon]

Joins streloks faction iirc

[finite dragon]

however, living as a tree

[round frost]

Keeping you busy might be a good way to deal with your amnesia.

[cosmic isle]

ending had me confused

[finite dragon]

I couldn't do that, no matter what

[dense hatch]

who's surrounded by a group of people that absolutely adore him

and is possibly helping reverse extreme environmental damage

[indigo marsh]

And then he decides not to be stationed as a permanent observer in the zone

[dense hatch]

that could just be some of those last thoughts similar to the trauma suits

[candid radish]

So in two hours? Yes indeed

[finite dragon]

sure it's not a terrible existence, but damn it's not the best

[west dagger]

OH MY GOD SOMEONE WILL EVENTUALLY ADD FISHING

[dense hatch]

it's not great but it's not that bad

[west dagger]

Fishing in the zone……

[dense hatch]

I'd still put legion slave as a worse fate

[gleaming ruin]

Bread fish

[candid radish]

100% also #AllLegionnairesAreBastards

[round frost]

Fishing salami, bread and tuna cans.

[finite dragon]

Turning into a Vault 22 plant monster, though it's not like it matters much since we can assume they lose their minds

[ancient haven]

Just preordered stalker 2 ultimate edition
It feels so good and terrible at the same time
I feel so anxious aswell

[native ibex]

What's up

[candid radish]

I'd probably throw up

[dense hatch]

the murdering raiding sexist raping slavers are unsurprisingly evil

[finite dragon]

going ghoul would suck too, not feral though because you'd have lost your mind

[candid radish]

And people still find a way to try and argue for them, somehow

[ancient haven]

Yeah im not feeling alright

[dense hatch]

nobody knows how ghouls work because it's different game to game

[candid radish]

get some water

[dense hatch]

same with going feral

[river gate]

Attention stalkers someone laced my energy drink with water this will be dealt with harshly

[dense hatch]

some go feral immediately some are older than the great war by a huge margin

[round frost]

Why anxious, still have to deal with your amnesia?

[finite dragon]

Going off of bethesda canon (stinky) ferals effectively have their brains melted

[gleaming ruin]

I feel kind of icky for preordering the standard edition lol I’d probably feel pretty anxious for getting the ultimate edition

[hoary kiln]

I am so excited to explore all of Chernobyl in it's entirety.

[finite dragon]

And as for normal Ghouls, yeah, it's weird

[river gate]

Reaaaal

[tacit prism]

buying the ultimate edition is good. youll get to see a 30 minute long unskippable cutscene right at the start where your character is killed by a bloodsucker

[sharp maple]

anyone on pc that doesn't have the means to play stalker 2 want a 14 day gamepass code (new members only)? I've got 5 of them to give out

[river gate]

SLUUUUURP

[dense hatch]

for longest?

[finite dragon]

Suck me dry (badum-tsk)

[gleaming ruin]

So a kojima game?

[hoary kiln]

UwU

[dense hatch]

I can't imagine there's that much to do after beating the game normally

[ancient haven]

I'm praying for the game that it doesn't suck

[wise blaze]

did scar survive clear sky?
or did he die in the last anomaly when fighting strelok

[river gate]

Oh god its a freedom fan

[wise blaze]

theres like 8 ending or something

[vague python]

[hoary kiln]

... Bandit

[wise blaze]

do we know how he survived?

[dense hatch]

it's the same ending, it's like fo3

[sharp maple]

there are repeatable missions apparently.

[finite dragon]

what even is the canon? does strelok live?

[gleaming ruin]

He made a wish 👀

[dense hatch]

supercharged by emissions

[naive quest]

did anyone else order the physical edition, if so what version did you order?

[river gate]

Only folks I know getting freaky with mutants are freedom

[dim topaz]

Yesn't

[patent mortar]

Afternoon

[wise blaze]

hm havent heard that but ok

[round frost]

Hope there's Anatoly Dyatlov in the game.

[finite dragon]

i did parkour 15 min searching a stash justo to get a single medkit, i want to trow myself into an anomaly

[patent mortar]

yea he lives

[dense hatch]

there are only different slides depending on quest outcomes

[wise blaze]

oh yea. like hjow he survived the first 2 in the swamp

[patent mortar]

hopefully

[river gate]

“I wish for adidas tracksuit”

[wise blaze]

ok thx

[dense hatch]

it's why he doesn't need to eat

[finite dragon]

Ecologists after doing their experiment on a snork's genitals

[gleaming ruin]

Hopefully their leaderboard system is better

Always thought it was cool but you surpass everyone pretty fast

[finite dragon]

adidas tracksuit and an ak74-u is all a stalker needs

[tacit prism]

Anybody else just not wanna play any games rn and keeps going to the steam page for stalker 2 XD

[tacit prism]

lets go bowling

[toxic vector]

women exist in the zone now, does that mean prostitute possibly exist in the zone?

[calm bough]

[finite dragon]

YES I'm sick and tired of my other games I NEED S2

[sharp maple]

merc moment

[river gate]

My cash leaving my pocket the moment that sentence is uttered

[gleaming ruin]

Is that confirmed?

[dense hatch]

[round frost]

Man, you should be cautious about their radiation level.

[finite dragon]

Duty? yes, this stalker right here

[dense hatch]

yeah there's a screenshot of a young woman at a desk

like young young

[river gate]

I thought we agreed the all the women turned into mutants

[candid radish]

Why is everyone so latched onto female stalkers

[dense hatch]

I don't know

[gleaming ruin]

I feel like that was controversial lol

[patent mortar]

No.

[river gate]

Because there are none and it was kinda weird

[finite dragon]

BOOBIES AWOOOGA AWOOOOOOOOGA

[wise blaze]

booba prolly

[dense hatch]

freedom and duty canonically have at least one pair of gay lovers

[candid radish]

What do you mean there are none? You don't think women would eventually also want to explore the Zone?

[finite dragon]

true sigma redpilled ending actual canon

[untold salmon]

holy shit im finally done with my uni assignment, at 4:40 am, time to stalker post

[feral nest]

The Magic Cube artifact kinda looks like a kidney stone

[west dagger]

It’s just more gas mask tubing

[candid radish]

True

[river gate]

Got turned to stone can’t have nothing in the zone dog

[round frost]

They were probably male assigned at birth. It's a sequel so things evolved in the zone.

[gleaming ruin]

What major?

[untold salmon]

Batchelor of Law

[tacit prism]

ecology in the zone

[river gate]

Wish granter

[finite dragon]

speaking of which, are snorks kind of like feral ghouls? they all look identical which is a little odd, but they mostly look human

[gleaming ruin]

Sounds agonizing

[dense hatch]

snorks are a little stranger because they're limited in number

[river gate]

I thought they were just a different version of zombies

[untold salmon]

it would actually be really easy if i didnt procrasatinate to the last like 10 hours

[candid radish]

i love your pfp btw

[west dagger]

What are the big lanky dudes in anomaly called again

[dense hatch]

they're the product of the attempted military convoys and the people who were working before the 2006 disaster

[gleaming ruin]

I’m going back to school and am drowning

[dense hatch]

izloms I think

[candid radish]

Fractures?

[west dagger]

Were those ever canon

[finite dragon]

Like what are the odds they came about because of the second disaster and are just legit insane humans? makes the most sense to me

[river gate]

#💬┃en_offtop

[dense hatch]

no, cut content

[west dagger]

YEA THOSE GUYS

[candid radish]

I hate those fuckers

[untold salmon]

It be like that sometimes, catches you off guard

[dense hatch]

those are izloms

[west dagger]

Those are the mutants I feel for the most

[dense hatch]

I mean they're physically mutated

[tacit prism]

i guess longer arms are pretty useful for...something

[dense hatch]

slapping you

[river gate]

Why does every animal in the zone no matter what get mutated in some way but humans are usually fine as long as they don’t get near the brain scorcher or something?

[gleaming ruin]

Zombies

[dense hatch]

humans are mutated, but by the labs

[round frost]

You should've brought your life jacket.

[gleaming ruin]

Ah, nvm. Saw the second half

[dense hatch]

controllers, bloodsuckers, pseudogiants, burers, probably chimeras

the zone is also just really weird

[river gate]

Thats a understatement

[west dagger]

Lemme get a pet chimera

[dense hatch]

it could not affect people as much due to them being part of the noosphere

[untold salmon]

Animals breed faster, they go through multiple generations in a decade, mutations compound

[candid radish]

I wonder what the climax of Stalker 2 will be

[dense hatch]

meaning they have more protection than the local wildlife

[gleaming ruin]

It never clicked in my head that pseudogiants were human at some point

[dense hatch]

they're also mutating far faster than they should normally

[river gate]

Brought my dog in the zone last I checked he had eyes

[tacit prism]

"i want to be rich"

[dense hatch]

they were multiple humans!

[candid radish]

Skif ded

[river gate]

Brain scorcher.

[untold salmon]

Exactly, radiation causes mutations, they breed, mutations compound, those newborns get irradiated and get new mutations

[dense hatch]

they're like 6 people jammed together

[river gate]

Along with a ton of lead

[gleaming ruin]

wtf lol

[dense hatch]

outside of that, I mean.

[untold salmon]

Oh right

[dense hatch]

multiple mouths

[round frost]

I remember first time I saw a controller when you're in the sewer back in 2007. "I was like damn, how do I kill this thing" lol.

[native ibex]

Beep boop

[river gate]

Gunfire

[gleaming ruin]

Extra limbs too, does it explicitly state it in the games? I wanna read about it

[untold salmon]

Probably also xlabs stuff, putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging pigs weird

[river gate]

They’re turning the freedom fans gay!

[dense hatch]

you can see em, but it's mostly in their descriptions

[untold salmon]

Nono they were already like that

[dense hatch]

the xlabs are behind like half of all the mutants

[round frost]

Yeah or just two RGD-5 grenades.

[dense hatch]

actually they're behind most of them

all of them besides the dogs, boars, and fleshes

[west dagger]

Wonder if they’ll add working vehicles to drive again

[dense hatch]

they won't sadly

[river gate]

Really aw thats a shame

[west dagger]

I’m alright with that

[wise blaze]

did they confirm that?

[dense hatch]

yeah

[gleaming ruin]

Have the cats been in any screenshots for stalker 2? It’d be cool for them to add some of the old cut content

[west dagger]

I’m down to walk everywhere like a true stalker

[dense hatch]

they're keeping guides though

[tacit prism]

the longcat will actually be the endboss of the game (it shoots lasers from its eyes)

[wise blaze]

what about recruiting friendly stalkers to follow

[dense hatch]

#📰┃announcement message

[untold salmon]

There was the trailer

[dim topaz]

For my wish at the wish granter: I wish for Stalker 3

[gleaming ruin]

You’re the goat

[dense hatch]

even seemingly giving them the ability to replicate stalker voices

[gleaming ruin]

They look phenomenal

[dense hatch]

all of the new ones do, besides the pseudodogs which are as ugly as ever

[untold salmon]

I wanna see the deer, I wanna know more about it's ai

[dense hatch]

wait deer?

I thought we only had frogs and cats confirmed as new mutants

[river gate]

Actually what about horses?

[untold salmon]

Yeah, we've only seen like one glimpse of it

[sharp maple]

i honestly forgot about the deer

[river gate]

Horses are quite common in the area irl wonder what they look like

[pallid spruce]

Deer? More like Beer

[sharp maple]

i am blue now

[pallid spruce]

HE IS BLUE!

[dense hatch]

can you link it?

[round frost]

Cossacks vodka!

[untold salmon]

it looks neat but I honestly can't tell if it's real or not

[untold salmon]

I think it was real, we saw part if it in a trailer but I can't remember which one

[pallid spruce]

I got out of there in 30 minutes, what are you doing? Trying to drink all the water up in the swamp???

[finite dragon]

artifact hunting and clearing stashes

Younger me had a lot of trouble

[pallid spruce]

[finite dragon]

[round frost]

I need to take a look back, don't quite remember but yeah I think it's in Rostok area.

[dawn yoke]

to anybody who preordered a physical copy, do you guys have tracking numbers yet? i feel its sorta late to be shipping unless it wont be arriving on release date

[dense hatch]

it's a 4 hour global timer isn't it

[river gate]

Hey guys there’s a big blue thing coming at me should I be worried?

[finite dragon]

the funny parts is that it is marked by the detector

maybe ill just skip it and go to the cordon

[gleaming ruin]

You could try resetting

[sharp maple]

oh yeah i just remembered there's no preload for pc

[gleaming ruin]

Unfortunately

[pallid spruce]

Recommend going through the Southern entrance, safest bet

[finite dragon]

im going to clear that military checkpoint

[gleaming ruin]

I’ve yet to go the northern route

[pallid spruce]

In your dreams, well it turns out that it was known.

[vague python]

i will download the game with a 500 kbps internet, wish me luck

[pallid spruce]

Ok good night or good morning everybody I will see you all later

[round frost]

100% zone speed immersion.

[vague python]

i need patience

[sharp maple]

g'night

[gleaming ruin]

Tragic, I was complaining about 10mb lol

[round frost]

I hope there's going to be combat arena's. Anyway I'm mostly sure about it.

[west dagger]

I will simply take the time while it downloads to order Pizza Hut and get 34 billion wings

[sharp maple]

it's gonna take me half a day

[west dagger]

Same 💀

But I work 3rd shift so it’ll be gamer time

[sharp maple]

suppose we're lucky compared to some others tho

[west dagger]

I will merely wake up to start the dl and then fall back asleep

[sharp maple]

probably what i'll do as well

[gleaming ruin]

Hibernate until it’s done

You can start the download on steam via your phone if you’re at work btw

[tall swallow]

really?

[jade coral]

Stalker tuah

[sharp maple]

yeah, with the steam app

[tall swallow]

interesting, ty

[finite dragon]

Armored core 6 decrypting took me 2 hours

[sharp maple]

pc has to be on and steam open obviously tho

[tall swallow]

ill just set an alarm for 2am and start my download then sleep again

[finite dragon]

Once stalker 2 goes live i will not check any social media until i finish it, (aside from discord)

[west dagger]

You can catch me fishing in the zone

[tall swallow]

im going 100% dark

all it takes is for one troll to not care about server rules 🤷‍♂️ dont let your guard down

[finite dragon]

Now that you mention it i may goo completely dark

[candid radish]

I don't mind spoilers if it isn't a story driven game

Seems like this will absolutely be narrative driven tho so

[tall swallow]

well theres nothing to spoil 🤣

[candid radish]

Not yet

[tall swallow]

i mean theres nothing to spoil if it isnt a story driven game

[west dagger]

Spoils a single pixel of the game

[tall swallow]

i wonder what The Tourist's face looks like

[candid radish]

It is a story driven game though

[tall swallow]

nvm i was just making a joke since you said you dont mind spoilers if it isnt a story driven game. my response was just a snarky "duh, theres nothing to spoil"

[warm linden]

It's me, big fish

[warm linden]

dumb dumb

[sleek hound]

[hollow prawn]

[jolly violet]

Sorry to hear that mate, what edition did you get and what country from if I may ask ? I have an ultimate edition ordered from the UK one and so far so good, really worried now.

[finite dragon]

“Hello mister Swedish, do you need any of these ak5s? You don’t? I have a proposition…”

Anyways, how old would Scar be now? He looked like he was in his late thirties to mid forties I’d say

[west dagger]

Me

[finite dragon]

Ngl Scar looked kinda cute in the trailer

[broken latch]

If it happens I'm shooting up gsc quarters

[finite dragon]

Was he in one of the S2 trailers!?

Which one?!

[finite dragon]

The one called scar

Adds up, now I gotta go watch

[hollow prawn]

Stalker is such a great game

[finite dragon]

https://youtu.be/b9xT_kNnlsk?si=usDhPQzOvUqIlU0M

[hollow prawn]

So great that it managed to destroy Russian and Ukrainian as languages to me

[native sparrow]

The words of monolith, make sense

[granite mortar]

Kot
Kot in S2 is hella ugly

[finite dragon]

HE'S LOOKING GOOD

Bro has aged well, especially for zone standards

[finite dragon]

There is a mini poscredit at the end

Emisions made my man to glow up

[still ridge]

So true

[finite dragon]

he's such a silly boy

[hollow prawn]

He ate their energy instead of dying from them

[finite dragon]

emissions made him into a straight goober and I love it

[finite dragon]

Ikr he is adorable 😭

"shits gonna go down at the institute 😄 "

precious little goober

[untold salmon]

He's so silly

[finite dragon]

Im thinking that levedev lied about emisions killing him

Since bro looks pretty much alive
