u mean ray tracing? that wont be in game, lumen will be

[limpid fiber]

bought the ultimate key already. Hope my potato ryzen 5 3600 + 6700XT can run on 1080p60 smoothly......

[hazy helm]

He's dodgin the player

[kindred hatch]

judging by his blunt responses in ask gsc i doubt it

[cold urchin]

My apologies

For real

[ruby harness]

Wow the reactions were instantly lmao!

[gaunt magnet]

im afraid to buy. i love stalkr but the logical side of me knows i should wait to see if its half baked

[empty gorge]

no worries, u can turn off lumen i hope because its realllyy taxing on pc if not implemented properly

[finite dragon]

Usually for a game like stalker with a lot of dark areas, flashlights, dark nights etc ray tracing can be big visually.

[alpine ibex]

Yeah okay but it look goofy 😆 🤣 reminds me the office parkour scene

[celest blaze]

its a shame botters had to ruin the community game

[hearty ravine]

According to a guy who got it early, it’s pretty solid

[ruby harness]

I saw the post in another server first, this server arrived a couple secodns later lmao managed to put my flag

[civic blade]

I mean you'll know straight away with this game well within 2 hour refund period of steam

[limpid fiber]

Very worry on unreal 5 on my stupid PC......

[hazy helm]

It literally isn't
2k isn't even standard yet, and it will only become standard when every GPU is able to run 2k native which isn't the case yet, 4K is only a theoretical, and dlss is made to sell this theoreticalfor tech bros and Saudi princes

[fiery heron]

https://tenor.com/view/parkour-theoffice-freerunning-gif-5128248

[rich dawn]

After 15 Years of waiting, I shall be buying it whatever. I have faith in the guys that they captured what the other games portrayed. DUTY FOR LYF!

[crisp ruin]

Imagine playing this game on Maxed out Graphics, are you playing this for game and it's story or just graphical masterpiece?

[civic blade]

both

[alpine ibex]

slam deskTHANK YOU!!

[boreal crescent]

but im sitting with a 4k mointor and 4090 right now and play all my games in 4k without FG and DLSS so idk what you're saying

[fiery heron]

yw

[gaunt magnet]

yeah same im probably buyting no matter what. id rather be apart of it if itys a shitshow

[fresh umbra]

yep honestly good implemented raytracing could be pretty amazing in stalker. looking at the difference it made in metro exodus. awesome. (though the nights outside where ruined. too bright)

[celest blaze]

i think you're forgetting the trilogy was half baked and full of jank and bugs lol

[quasi hinge]

HELL YEA

[empty gorge]

i wanna see sids bald head in 4k oke am i allowed that atleast? 😭

[quaint glen]

This is bait ong

[hoary adder]

crazy that game comes out tommorow and all we can see is some marketing b-roll smh
that being said I've got a notiff that shop sent me my copy

[slow ingot]

i almost replied to it too

[quasi hinge]

I PRE-ORDERED THE GAME

[cold urchin]

Honestly I don’t think I’m ever gonna move up from 1080p. The games coming out make new GPU’s trash after like only 2 years

[frigid anchor]

You can see the stuttering on the Nvidia trailer just like the stutters in Silent Hill 2.

Sadge.

[hazy helm]

well you do qualify for the techbro category
Makes sense why Nvidia marketing worked

[ruby harness]

@hardy agate lo logramos jaja pusimos oa bandera argentina

[gaunt magnet]

lol is like people compllaining about CS2. like csgo wasnt dogshit on release

[celest blaze]

the amount of bugs SRP fixes in clear sky alone is IMMENSE

[empty gorge]

ikr that hurt my heart

[slate zephyr]

I'm expecting some bugs and jank. Lets be real, every game is at it's buggiest on first release, but I hope its not too bad.

[crisp ruin]

This btw

[finite dragon]

If you aim for 60 fps on 1080p with a 6900. You can for sure max out graphics with RTX when you enable FSR. I like 1440p. It looks way better.

[naive bear]

I want my stalker to be buggy and janky

[rich dawn]

It's what made the game amazing, instant crashes after saved games, faction relations bugged and getting shot out of the main camps

[ruby harness]

Snd im sitting with my 3080 and 1080p monitor hope i can reach 240fps, doubt

[tidal matrix]

Who's playing on pc gamepass?

[naive bear]

Just how granny used to make

[empty gorge]

no way bro haha u wont lets be real

[boreal crescent]

hopefully, probobly around 160 for you broskie

[scenic gorge]

I vow to bring el slaughter to duty

[nimble hinge]

buy 3070 shouldnt be much more expensive and totally worth it. as much as i know in my country 4070 costs around 800eur MSI one, good model with 3 ventilators in it. so i guess 3070 should be pretty cheap, no need to go for 2070 its outdated

[pearl olive]

some of us just have nice PCs and aren't 'tech bro's' ... still trying to figure out what kind of copium you're on that 4K is a joke

[hazy helm]

Mhe,2k is becoming ever more viable even at native,but if AI isnt beaton off the priority listz then it'll stay like this for a long time

[earnest bear]

Your chances are slightly better than Zero

[cold urchin]

I’m hoping I can. If the 6900xt can’t do that ima just give up honestly lol. I have a 5800x3d which should help me out

[finite dragon]

I wonder from how far away you can engage enemies with a sniper.

any ideas if S2 will run...alrighty on xbox series s?

[tidal matrix]

I can't get the Xbox app to run, tried all fixes out there 💔

[cold urchin]

Yea I agree

[ruby harness]

One can dream lmao this game is nowhere near optimized considering the requirements, i will be lucky to hit 120 fps at 1080p

[celest blaze]

30 FPS

[wooden vigil]

https://youtu.be/4Oh0sJm1J90?si=92aNEY_9S2XTA7Nx well in the interview,the dev said xbox series can only play at 30 fps lmao

[naive bear]

might as well change your faction and pray to the monolith cause no it wont

[empty gorge]

im seriously thinking of using my 2nd monitor thats 1080p to play instead of my main 1440p if the performance is that dodgy

[true steppe]

lmaoo

[finite dragon]

its at least something 💀

[slow moth]

Hey guys is it just me, or is everyone else also getting a huge amount of AI generated thumbnails in youtube about S2 from content farm styled channels?

[ruby harness]

Downsides is my processor a 5600x if i had a 5800x3d maybe

[finite dragon]

brat 💀

[quaint glen]

Downscale

[finite dragon]

Should be good. I have a i9 10900k. Its about the same, maybe slightly worse than yours. Hope my CPU doesnt choke my fps.

[cold urchin]

Big time

[true steppe]

I'm not.

[naive bear]

Good news everyone, the game does launch

[wispy cradle]

expect a lot more

[onyx vault]

I'm trying to add OWR3 to CoP.
It says to "back-up bin folder". Do I just move it to desktop?
Then it said put the mod folder in CoP.

But it's calculating at 3hrs 45min.

[celest blaze]

i already beat stalker 2

[empty gorge]

my native and drop dlss on u mean?

[gritty lily]

Ai is everywhere these days.

[boreal crescent]

yeah the x3d will be good for this game i think, cpu heavy game

[slow moth]

oh boy

[quaint glen]

Yep (:

[edgy topaz]

Hello do you think the game will run fine at launch?

[ruby harness]

Is really a noticeable difference between a 1440p monitor and 1080p?

[jaunty pebble]

Yes there is

[rich dawn]

@edgy topaz Probs not.

[nimble cipher]

zverbruh has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[edgy topaz]

:/

[quaint glen]

Yeah fps swap is pretty big

[late yarrow]

Upgrading to 32gb of ram today 🤟🤟

[true steppe]

eyy

[grizzled plover]

For me there is

[cold urchin]

Oopsie

[hollow wharf]

I'm taking bets on how long it'll take UE5 modders to mod all the female stalkers nakey

[edgy topaz]

many people say they have gotten used to day one messy launchs

[empty gorge]

good idea will try that first since main is oled, @ruby harness its HUGE especially distant objects and foliage

[ruby harness]

I meant visuals

[finite dragon]

i still have 8 gigs of ram

[celest blaze]

1080p to 1440p pretty noticeable imo

[slow moth]

Atleast our mainly stalker focused youtubers aren't doing it

[true steppe]

hell yeah

[naive bear]

this user, smile react him!!

[ornate moon]

link?

[true steppe]

1440p to 4k isnt worth it though.

[quaint glen]

There's more pixel density therefore more detail depends on each person tho tbh

[onyx vault]

Can somebody help me plz?

Why is it so nuts in here?
It's freaking busy.

[wooden vigil]

depend on ur cpu and gpu

[rich dawn]

They got female stalkers now?

[edgy topaz]

I used to play with 8gb until last months.I could still ran many games but it definitely has reached its limits

[true steppe]

...

[wooden vigil]

nah,only men

[rich dawn]

XD

[onyx vault]

Oh, they put the trilogy on console right?

[true steppe]

yes.

[late yarrow]

Clarity yeah, fps depends on what game you’re playing. I’m assuming the frame difference will be noticeable when it comes to Stalker 2

[pearl olive]

1440 to 4k is a massive difference if you've been using 4K on every game for years

[hazy helm]

Pins

[ruby harness]

Dammmm OLED i wish i could had an oled display like this, my current is a 240hz to 280hz oc xv21z, great speed but ips

[final vortex]

its been like that for a while

[nimble hinge]

both. atmosphere is very important with stalker games, and for me personally atmosphere is very connected with the graphical and audio quality too

[finite dragon]

really? what gpu though, my gtx 1060 6 gb cant run shit

[true steppe]

I don't see much of a difference, and I used to play on 4K. The FPS goes down too much for it to be worth it imo

[quaint glen]

Def just drop native in nvidia control or whatever and see if it works well

[static compass]

#📜┃s2_suggestions message

[rich dawn]

Well aware, was just making a point from the original XD

[edgy topaz]

1060 3gb.But i have moved to 4070 super and 32 gb ram

[wooden vigil]

https://youtu.be/cYtJoQefzz0?si=OMn4GmKK5PrO5qsj the gameplay look like cod+eft

[cold urchin]

A good CPU is definitely gonna be the game changer. A-life is gonna kill us lol

[static compass]

This is a good feature I think

[hushed olive]

Yeah mate

[pearl olive]

you dont see billions of pixelated edges? i sure as hell do

[late yarrow]

I got it on Amazon while the sales are going on. Everything in my pc was within spec to run “High” besides my ram. Now I should be good 🫡

[quaint glen]

I was running 32gb ddr4 got a new pc now it's 16gb ddr5 and I cbf buying more since it's alot more expensive over ddr4 😭

[hushed olive]

What's up mate

[final vortex]

thats bad son, you need more, i got 48gb im all set

[true steppe]

No 😂 I guess I just haven't been looking for them really, but hey as long as you enjoy 4k then thats all that matters 🙏 I just don't wanna sacrifice 40% of my frames for a small visual boost

[quaint glen]

What the

[wind ravine]

I'm sorry, but at this point it's getting into the realm of nit picking

[ruby harness]

The bad thing is that if i really want the sctual performance jump i will need to litterally buy a brand new expensive pc, psu, ddr5 mobo and ram, and gpu and cpu, im in the end of the line of am4

[quaint glen]

What did you do to get 48gb snap a stick in half

[wooden vigil]

maybe i will upgrade to 96gb ram this xmas lol,the d4 used ram kinda not too expensive now

[rare surge]

set all graphics to low and get the best fps

[naive bear]

what kind of number is that, damn psychopath

[empty gorge]

yeah its crazy how big difference hdr oled is compared to regular ips or led and @quaint glen ty will def do that on release, hoping it isnt needed (10700k, 3080, 32gb 3200mhz,m2 ssd)

[boreal crescent]

40%? more like 10% but ok

[true steppe]

32 + 16,

[quaint glen]

Does that even work tho?

[final vortex]

8, 8, 16, 16

[pearl olive]

I never said 2k was bad, especially if you're used to it - but 2k looks like straight ass on my 4k monitor compared to native

[finite dragon]

pc parts are too expensive RN, if i had the cash i would buy some nice PC, the series s is fine, especially for its price.

[true steppe]

10? You can hop on youtube right now and look at benchmarking, then tell me its 10% again.

[cold urchin]

Spend that money on a good cpu. That ram is way too much lmao

[wooden vigil]

8+8+16,aka triple ram

[naive bear]

Blasphemy

[quaint glen]

Quad channel ram is insane and dif ram sizes too damm are they all running 3600hz or something

[true steppe]

ooh new nvidia vid just dropped showcasing dlss3 on stalker 2!

[wooden vigil]

cpu in my region too expensive ngl

[hollow wharf]

Micro Center has slamming black Friday deals on prebuilts rn for sub 1k

[finite dragon]

u still in 1990?

[boreal crescent]

literally just look at stalker 2 req, youll see the same shit there

[worn oar]

Sweet

[cold urchin]

Rip

[earnest bear]

How does 1080p look on a 4k monitor?

[oak owl]

Does not MBs go apeshit when you use different ram-sticks?

[wooden vigil]

only r5 5600 it abouts 180$ now,their mobo also expensive

[true steppe]

Alright

[ruby harness]

We have exact same specs almost i have a 3200mhz ram and 3000mhz lmao i accidently purchased 3000 instead of 3200mhz rip 200 mhz lmao, also a 3080 and my 5600x should be somewhat equivalent to that 10th gen cpu? Dont know

[normal quail]

@granite mortar i think you will like gamma
weapons are inaccurate just like you like

[rare surge]

I wonder what mods people will make

[finite dragon]

where is this? in US?

[pearl olive]

depends on the game most 1080p games look best in 1080p

[hollow wharf]

Yes but they ship internationally

[vast cosmos]

will my 4070 super and 7800x3d be able to run this game well?

[wooden vigil]

yea u right

[quaint glen]

Yes

[final vortex]

you have a 1060 bub, dont think you need to worry bout my ram

[boreal crescent]

nah 720p medium graphics

[wooden vigil]

yes with med setting 60 fps

[haughty cove]

LETSGOOO PANIC OVER, I GOT A PHYSICAL COPY

[finite dragon]

damn, let me look

[naive bear]

How the hell is black friday already going on in the us

[quaint glen]

Prob high settings tbh

[ruby harness]

At least you own it not like digitsl games that can be unilaterally removed

[cold urchin]

Your CPU is carrying the boats rn

[earnest bear]

So dual mode 4k/1080p monitors are the future

[dim topaz]

if you are ok with playing on LOW with DLSS then sure

[finite dragon]

same specs just go to nvidia's official site and look for stalker 2 benchmark

[naive bear]

Its over a week until the actual date

[final vortex]

bro theres many prebuilts going for sub 1k that have okay gpus you dont need black friday lol but get those deals ig

i want faction chat back this chat is too spammy 😦

[hollow wharf]

Corporate greed trumps (ha) all sense of decency in this hellscape of a fading empire.

[oak owl]

What is with the resolution talk? Is the game in 1080p?

[quaint glen]

this chat has too much bait too bad I'm not fishing today

[finite dragon]

this card cant run nothing, not an expertt on pc, maybe cpu is bad, i couldnt even un the game called WW3, this ft2 game on lowest settings, and this game isnt even that damanding 💀

[haughty cove]

Oh no I had to get a PC copy on Steam, the physical copy is an Xbox Series X that I’m selling the disc for LMAO

[boreal crescent]

rulle sprulle kulle 🙂

[celest blaze]

i fished to much yesterday lol

[quaint glen]

It's back soon tm

[empty gorge]

ill be messaging u on release, curious to see your performance in 1080p with amd cpu and my 1440p with intel cpu 😄

[granite mortar]

No
I play mods for story and quests
I wont play the most ubfathomable dogshit ever concieved just because the guns are bad "like in the trilogy"
Because in trilogy you play fast and flank, while gamma plays like world of tanks

[vast cosmos]

4k?

[hushed olive]

I know right, these Duty fellas are stinky

[rare surge]

Only if you set it to 1080p

[dim topaz]

1080p sorry chief

[pearl olive]

i won't drop that much on another 4k monitor - so a 1080p and 4K setup will have to do

[vast cosmos]

REFUND

[ruby harness]

On a single monitor? Impossible lol, would be great if one could physically reduce and upgrade the pixels on a single monitor but yeah 4k for media consimption and 1080p for gaming

[hushed olive]

Oh wait it's the freedomers my bad

[edgy topaz]

I moved from intel to amd for cpus

[dim topaz]

He was a good Stalker...

[sonic cosmos]

Anybody that's more into the whole game journalism politics and publisher policies than me. Normally a review embargo on release day is a red flag but in this games case i believe it's not. So what's the reason for the late embargo?

[celest blaze]

weapons were fine in the trilogy

[edgy topaz]

no regrets

[boreal crescent]

yeah no its already a thing and i have the screen 😄 480hz 1080p or 120hz 4k, dual mode 😄

[oak owl]

I want big fps in 1440p ples ty.

[wooden vigil]

i hope sellers can sale r5 5600 to 140$ so i can afford it 😭,idk but in my country cpu intel and their mobo always cheaper than intel so damn

[earnest bear]

It isn't. Technically it is easy just give every pixel in a group of 4 the same information

You are basically getting a poor man's micro led experience with 1080p

[boreal crescent]

a little button underneath my screen

[finite dragon]

it still exists ?

[naive bear]

breaking news stalker will be forced to 480p for additional nostalgia

[dim topaz]

We'll find out tomorrow 🙂

[oak owl]

yey

[quaint glen]

Maybe to prevent story spoilers? My take/opinion

[rare surge]

Really does depend on your specs

[hasty elk]

Nvidia yt videothingie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMT9u8CbZ0

[sonic cosmos]

Could be. Altho reviews rarely have any spoilers.

[hasty elk]

Hoping to see something similar about AMD FSR performance

[tulip sorrel]

Someone have a video of unboxing a limited edition version?

[final vortex]

Don’t get me wrong, cpu would definitely need to be an i7 at least for it to be called a decent pc, but an NZXT player one prebuilt runs pretty mych all games, I get around 70 fps minimum on Streets of Tarkov. The 3050 in its not that bad considering the price of the pc.

[static compass]

I'd say tomorrow

[oak owl]

Yea I dunno what settings I will be able to run but should be able to run 1440p decent I imagine with 32 gb ram, i7-13700 and a 4070 Ti Super

[quaint glen]

Predownload not being a thing could be because there's no DRM that's a theory tho

[naive bear]

youre fine

[ruby harness]

For real? Can you dm me links of such monitor? Must be almost impossible to achieve 480 fps lmao

[final vortex]

I didn’t need more ram also, I got more for fun. Prebuilts arent bad dont listen to the evil builders

[edgy topaz]

Will Stalker 2 use Denuvo or not?

[tulip sorrel]

Someone must have it, i just saw day one and collectors unboxing

[frigid mist]

Hey, will there be a macos support for stalker 2?

[finite dragon]

no

[quaint glen]

No drm

[static compass]

Several people have gotten it, I haven't gotten mine yet tho

[wooden vigil]

rog screen

[stable sparrow]

I really hope they soon also implement hardware ray tracing with Lumen or, better yet, path tracing. Wukong did it, and it looked fantastic and worked fine performance-wise.

[boreal crescent]

its mostly for competetive games when u switch, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tUVFsqjpI&t=2s

[ruby harness]

There are too many models of monitor

[vague python]

[tulip sorrel]

Okey thanks, mine should be today delivered

[azure tartan]

I believe there are now 117,892 reviews of SoC on YouTube, most which were put up in the last 6 months

[wooden vigil]

i mean their only 1 version have that dual so

[oak owl]

gib big phat crt

[edgy topaz]

Do you think the game will run for people who use rog ally?

[naive bear]

Its the "swift" model iirc

[rare surge]

probably some mix between high and ultra for 60+ fps

[static compass]

I don't even think mine has shipped yet

[quaint glen]

Possibly not impossible tbh

[pearl olive]

GSC jsut gave one away that'd be mighty ironic......

[quaint glen]

It has Min spec

[final vortex]

crt box tv with 4k uhd 120hz and hdr

[stable sparrow]

I run a 4080 Super, so I look forward to the amazing visuals. :)

[oak owl]

Noice, have a 144 hz screen, old af though 😛

[viscid oyster]

Why is GSC releasing keys last minute to third party key sites

[stable sparrow]

But please give me decent ray tracing. :)

[edgy topaz]

to avoid speculation i guess?

[tulip sorrel]

My is in local parcel so just i must drive to it and collect it and record unboxing

[finite dragon]

buy me a new gpuy

[untold salmon]

Which sites

[wooden vigil]

u know the xbox can only 30 fps 1080p lowest setting for s series and x series can 60 fps,so that maybe cant

[naive bear]

saw them on instantgaming for example

[quaint glen]

The game isn't out they are dropping on release pre sure

[rare surge]

Also depends if you want to use Raytracing, DLSS 3 + Framegen or run native

[boreal crescent]

rulle hulle snulle 🙂

[viscid oyster]

GreenMangaming.ru

Jk just greenmangaming

[naive bear]

wtf is that url lmao

[edgy topaz]

is instantgaming considered legit in your country?I know here it's oftenseen as "grey"

[ruby harness]

1400$ dammm its way too expensive even more than my entire pc, this is the reason will never be able to afford such monitor qnd adding rhe import taxes will cost 2000$ minimum and with average salary of 300$ a month imagine

[final vortex]

not greenman lol

[untold salmon]

If it's a grey site then it's probably stolen keys lmao

[oak owl]

Right 🙂

[viscid oyster]

No they’re legit

Look on the Stalker news page on Stalker2.com, they have links for 3rd party sellers

[wooden vigil]

atleast it not 5000$,asus rog never cheap

[viscid oyster]

Gmg has a long history of bringing legit

[oak owl]

Is this some kind of mating call?

[edgy topaz]

i don't think instant gaming is listed n the list of official retailers, is it?

[viscid oyster]

Link plz

[naive bear]

Yesnt, if that answers your question. The site itself is fine, nobody knows how they get their keys. Its not an official reseller to say the least

[stable sparrow]

Honestly, native is as obsolete as MSAA.

[boreal crescent]

yeah its completly new and its oled also, but like i said its completly new, will drop in price after some years.

[final vortex]

sold their weiner for the best setup

[quaint glen]

Greenman + humble are alright but they don't get keys or won't give them out till release anyway

[twin thistle]

oh good I see the dipshittery from last night is still in the chat

[finite dragon]

ong

[naive bear]

I would never buy stalker keys tho I love the devs too much

[wooden vigil]

uhm u can buy benq screen 540hz mode

[viscid oyster]

The money goes directly to the devs

[nimble oasis]

no pre-download?

[ruby harness]

I never seen such good monitors dropping below 1000$ like 240hz, oled and such quality

[naive bear]

from instantgaming?

[stable sparrow]

Honestly, that stuff is not that expensive. Especially RAM, I would definitely upgrade. And my CPU is cheap. ^^ The most expensive is my GPU. ^^

[viscid oyster]

Green man

[naive bear]

never heard of that before, good to know

[boreal crescent]

I will use my pg32udcm for this game, shit was half the price of my computer, insane

[rare surge]

I have a R9 5900X rtx 3060ti and 16gb ram so I should be running it on high/medium 1080p

[harsh niche]

Please release a day early I’m dying here

[ruby harness]

Yeah but my gpu cant even reach such stupid amount of fps warzone at lowest settings run ar barely over 100fps

[stable sparrow]

My benchmark is Cyberpunk, which I played with path tracing and it looked fantastic.

[edgy topaz]

do you recommend activating dlss?

[stable sparrow]

So I want path tracing in Stalker 2, too.

[finite dragon]

but why ?? u gotta push the limits of the gpu if u dont have a capable cpu

[quaint glen]

Path tracing is very experimental

[stable sparrow]

I would always enable DLSS. Always.

[naive bear]

why not youre barely going to notice it anyway

[oak owl]

Go for a billion hz and then a TN-panel and everything looks like crap

[wooden vigil]

that screen cheaper than rog,900$ lol,japan product

[earnest bear]

No never unless you play 4k

[ruby harness]

How about we trade? I give you my 5600x so its in oar with ur gpu and u give me ur r9 5900x to be in par with my 3080?

[civic blade]

DLSS is pretty much made for 4k gaming

[edgy topaz]

just wondering some people say dlsss is a "lazy trick" or are oddly anti dlss

[quaint glen]

600hz tn panel tho

[stable sparrow]

DLSS Quality is the same or even better than native, and you get better performance. So I would always use it. I also limit my FPS to 60 anyway.

[oak owl]

Is it so fast that you can't tell that it is bad? xD

[granite mortar]

Because it is
Its unoptimized slop, inferior to proper dynamic lighting

[wooden vigil]

crt screen without delay

[viscid oyster]

I suggest ppl do research into lossless scaling it’ll boost fps signi

[boreal crescent]

yeah no better then native bs is just bs, nothing is better then native, just copium.

[ruby harness]

I think dlss is also a way to cheap out optimization as well

[oak owl]

big boy crt ftw

[finite dragon]

i hate cyberpunk vanilla with mods it looks stunning but yeah in wukong its not as optimised

[quaint glen]

It's honestly cheating in online games since the frames you see are quicker and you can see when people go around corners before they usually can

[wooden vigil]

also if u overclock it to 240hz,it smooth like irl lol

[oak owl]

cray cray 🙂

[viscid oyster]

And it’s only 6 bucks on steam

[final vortex]

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

[civic blade]

yea lossless scaling...the paid content lol

[hasty elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMT9u8CbZ0

Visuals seem good although Stalker 2 might not be the best possible ray/path tracing showcase

[naive bear]

You gotta get a better display that poor 4080s is bored

[wooden vigil]

dlss 3.0 good as hell,maybe u can get 1 lol

[viscid oyster]

For digital

[pale thicket]

Omg im so fuuuckin hypped holy shiiiiiaatatat

[wispy cradle]

is less than 10$

[civic blade]

but really...I need to pay to use my hardware better? lol

[ruby harness]

Will my 3080 support dlls 3?

[wise summit]

No

[wooden vigil]

nah only rtx 4k series

[stable sparrow]

Sorry, but you are wrong. https://www.techspot.com/article/2665-dlss-vs-native-rendering/ In most cases its not really noticable if there is any difference. ALos DLSS can make the picture a lot more stable and remove flickering.

[wispy cradle]

every software has a price

[civic blade]

soon enough we will have to pay for keyboard strokes or mouse clicks

[wispy cradle]

except winrar

[final vortex]

they buy the key, you buy the key they bought, moneys still gone to the devs in this situation

[oak owl]

Do what I did, buy a 4070 Ti Super and then only play games that are 20 years old.

[wooden vigil]

but i know there are some modders mod dlss 3.0 for old rtx cards

[ruby harness]

That suucks, so im screwed saw that dlss 3 is way better and optimized

[naive bear]

depends really

[wooden vigil]

and it work kinda well

[static compass]

LESS THAN 24 HOURS

[final vortex]

Why does the 20th have to be a wednesday

[rare surge]

Nah, I'm good. You can get a new one during blackfriday for $250

[earnest bear]

Because its rendering at a lower res and then upscales

So basically the same thing has render scale
Just with ai trying to fix the low quality

Which is just cheating in benchmarks even the gt710 could probably do 1080p 60fps if the render scale is low enough
(Looks like a ultra low quality YouTube Video)

[boreal crescent]

but will 100% of the time introduce ghosting and or flickering/pixilating in and around corners.

[vivid sphinx]

Penny for 100 clicks, or 10 dollars for a year.

[civic blade]

that's what I'm saying...I have all day today off and yet it releases tomorrow when I'm at work

[final vortex]

how are they getting free keys for a 60 game if not given keys by the devs

[wise summit]

Nobody knows anything at this point , not like the devs are aspiring confidence either

[final vortex]

you can pirate games but ive never heard of just making keys from thin air

[rare surge]

Native is always best

[naive bear]

before the actual release there will be very few stolen keys but most game keys you get for cheap are not legit, theyre usually purchased with stolen credit cards/credentials etc

[boreal crescent]

if you're looking at a STILL image, then yeah it can look perfect, but NO game will you just stand still, you're moving the camera constantly, so nah you'r wrong still.

[ruby harness]

Im sure we will have complains about performance issues day 1 im sure of it, true to stalker dna

[stable sparrow]

You’ve got to realize that most of what you see on screen is scaled anyway, depending on your POV. Anything. The notion of "native" is therefore not really feasible anyway. VFX, textures... all is scaled.

[wise summit]

I have 4090 and I am confident I will refund due to stutter

[civic blade]

lol

[oak owl]

Yea sites selling keys is either stolen by hackers or scammers or they are simply just bought in 3rd world countries where the prices are lower.

[wooden vigil]

just use cloud gaming and got lag because the internet lol

[final vortex]

provide a video example of this if you want to prove yourself dont send an image lol

[faint rampart]

guys sorry for asking something that probably has been asked thousands of times before. When exactly does the game drop tomorrow?

[wooden vigil]

idk i hate cloud gaming asf

[grizzled plover]

1600 UTC

[final vortex]

bro its in the channel

[civic blade]

there's a chart with all times but off the top of head 11 am EST

[candid radish]

Not for me. At 10 CST, it'll be 24 hours for me.

[faint rampart]

my bad

[gritty lily]

11 am in new york which si eastern time

[ruby harness]

Lmao... I own the ultimate edition and i will run it on high not ultra most likely

ahhhhh nuuu cheeki breeki iv damke

[nimble cipher]

albinosobs has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[earnest bear]

Has in added on top

Yes the trees at the other end of the map are not hd but lowering the render scale doesn't make it better it makes it worse

Also my tests in satisfactory showed major artefacting at lower render scales/ no mater which tech was used for upscaling

[final vortex]

cant even say f word this is prison

[gritty lily]

yeah bandit says that then gets a bullet in the face a second later lol "thanks for telling me where you were moron"

#📜┃gsc-answers message

I hope it doesn't take a week (especially for Digital codes)

Game launches tmrw.

[wooden vigil]

try ultra and 30 fps 🔥

[final vortex]

i was saying the game comes out at fudging 9 am for me in mst

[lyric tulip]

game launch in 25hours 10mins

[stable sparrow]

for example: https://youtu.be/iXHKX1pxwqs

[gritty lily]

I'm sad the game doesn't have trhe SKS thou

[pearl ore]

So close.

[lyric tulip]

[lost yew]

Party tomorrow

[gritty lily]

I know its an anomay gun thou, don't think it was in the vanilla games

[edgy topaz]

Do you think enemies will be bullet sponges in hardest difficulty?I remember at some point in SOC, you dealt with enelies that could take a full pack of ammo in the head and you had to spend so much ammo

[rare surge]

LOD quality helps with objects at range

[onyx vault]

I'm trying to mod CoP with OWR3.
Says to "backup bin" but idk how.
Then move the unzipped folder into CoP but it's like 1,800 files and it said 3hrs 45min before I removed bin.
Then I removed bin and it said more than 1 day..

[noble heath]

It's low hanging fruit for potential mods

[naive bear]

nah that shit is soo 2000 and something I dont think that will be the case

[edgy topaz]

stalker 2 will be mod friendly or not?

[gritty lily]

was just a solid low tier rifle.

[wooden vigil]

maybe yes

[edgy topaz]

so that means potential for waifu mods

[rare surge]

as long as I can 1 tap them with 7.62x51 I'll be good

[dapper atlas]

Unreal 5, not mod friendly, maybe with a very good sdk

[ruby harness]

Id rather die than play any game at 30 or 60 fps lmao i wont stand playing at such console rates, if i own a 240hz monitor i will use all those 240 fps lol or at least 120 as a minimum

[untold bay]

ONE MORE DAY

[final vortex]

bah screw sks, we need m1919 browning mgs, handheld

[gritty lily]

I suspect someone will eventually mod Hip into stalker 2

[dapper atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaMT9u8CbZ0

[boreal crescent]

yeah 30 fps is actually unplayable.

[austere crypt]

Only waifu you need is sid and he's already in the game

[wooden vigil]

in that interview the dev said it like modern warfare with modern gun lol

[stable sparrow]

I love UE5 games as I can use the UE5 Unlocker from Otis_Inf for better camera control in photo mode. :) Also, I hope you can unlock hardware ray tracing or path tracing via command somehow. ^^

[untold salmon]

I think people are missing something with the new nvidia video

[final vortex]

if not there already

[rare surge]

have we seen sid in the trailers?

[onyx vault]

30fps is unplayable?
Have you ever played Bloodborne?

[dapper atlas]

snork appareance

[boreal crescent]

noo nver

[untold salmon]

It's showing the game running significantly better than what the benchmarks showed it to be at 4k

[final vortex]

ikr lol 30 fps is fine

[dapper atlas]

fps on 30fps? xDD

[zealous steppe]

No I think it'll be better in terms of ballistics than the originals

[ruby harness]

Well playing shadow of the colossus on original ps2 was insane some parts resching 14 fps in some places

[austere crypt]

You're right I'm making assumptions I have no idea lol. I have purposely only watched a few trailers.

[onyx vault]

Freaking Gen-Z man..

[gritty lily]

naw hes just a zoomer/boomer, who never was alive back when consoles were 30 fps as a standard

[bronze nebula]

i will pay money to whoever mods mg-42 a cyclic rate of 1300

[wooden vigil]

low 120 fps or med 90 fps,with me 60 fps is enough lmao,at least my old screen have that,mine rtx 2080ti cant sync it

[wise summit]

30fps is unplayable on Oled

[final vortex]

tiktok brainrot envelops the mind and causes these hippies to not play anything at lower than 60 fps jesus

[dire dagger]

Idk man 30 feet per second is pretty fast

[wintry tide]

Hey has anyone in NA who ordered the physical ultimate edition received any word on their digital code from final-boss bundle?

[dire dagger]

[grizzled plover]

30 fps gives me a headache, used to be used to playing on like 20. Now I'm too used to 60+

[boreal crescent]

we didnt notice or even know what fps was when we were children, now that we have seen what fps can be and how smooth it can be going back to 30 fps is literally not doable.

[rare surge]

and they still haven't ported bloodborne to pc even if they would make millions off of it

[noble heath]

I played skyrim at like 7fps max on an awful laptop and still had a blast

[austere crypt]

Nope

[onyx vault]

I hope they do.

[frank night]

Not yet

[storm kernel]

shadps4 brother

[final vortex]

speak for yourself bub

[ruby harness]

Is really thst bad in oleds? Why

[austere crypt]

Probably tomorrow though

[stable sparrow]

I honestly have no issue with playing a game at around 40 FPS.

[wooden vigil]

i can playable anygame if it at least more than 13 fps

[storm kernel]

brother, consider emulation with 60 FPS and 1080p patches

[edgy topaz]

if the framerate is stable it's ok

[limpid fiber]

Don't try 30fps, its hell.

[naive bear]

They shoulda just sticked to the glorious xray engine

[onyx vault]

Nobody here had an OG Gameboy that was black & white, huh?

[wintry tide]

Okay wanted to make sure I want the only one brothers

[quaint glen]

I have one

[celest blaze]

Aslong as it's smooth I don't care if it's 30 fps or 300

[grizzled plover]

I did

[wise summit]

Pixels are too fast and it makes 30fps looks horrible

[wispy cradle]

same, arma and anomaly have made me accustomed to that

[gritty lily]

it was green and white screen technacally

[edgy topaz]

its bad if you get 25 then 50 fps and go back and forth bet ween low and high framerate

[static compass]

Nah, I had a Gameboy advance

[rare surge]

I could buy it for my ps4 but who wants to play a soulsborne at 30fps

[wooden vigil]

mine old days play 10 fps on gta 4 and 25 fps in bf3

[storm kernel]

I simply cannot go back to it after playing games at 60+ for my entire pc gaming career

[austere crypt]

I thought I was old. I had the color.

[final vortex]

its on the steamdeck but on pc without emulator you cant play lol

[noble heath]

All your brain needs to have a good time is a consistent framerate

[hushed violet]

anyone received their ultimate collectors by amazon yet? I have no shipment confirmation yet - but the key will be sent towards my email adress?

[edgy topaz]

I had a gameboy pocket

[gritty lily]

I had the NES as a kid. Thats how old I am.

[austere crypt]

The Pokemon Pikachu edition Color*

[naive bear]

goated

[ruby harness]

The only thing i hope is actual price reductions

[onyx vault]

.... Bro... It's perfectly fine how it is.
It's the best Souls honestly.

[static compass]

[edgy topaz]

pocket, then gbabut my screens are almost pixel dead

[wispy cradle]

the human eye cannot see past 30 fps anyways

[obtuse quartz]

Im okay with 60 (if i get some time to use it) but 30 is unplayable for me now...and im coming from console, playong elden ring on 30 fps etc 🤣

So i agree with that one right there

[quaint glen]

If you think you will upgrade then sure

[dusky edge]

still not a preinstall thing damn

[quaint glen]

Just get the base game nothing more tho as you won't have an amazing experience

[onyx vault]

Bloodborne is better than Elden Ring

Fight me

[storm kernel]

freezing cold take

[edgy topaz]

i keep my gb pockert it reminds me of when my parents were alive

[wary grove]

I will join you in your fight

[wooden vigil]

nah just upgrade ur pc first

[final vortex]

clearly none of you experienced the nds lagging its entire frame rate into the bin when you tried playing scribblenauts and causing chain reactions

did an explosion so great my screen turned white and the device just popped

[gritty lily]

I loved he nintendo ds and 3ds

[jaunty pebble]

No need to fight because you are right bro

[edgy topaz]

i wonder if the game will be playable with gamepass clooud for those who can't run it it could be a solution

[rare surge]

I can't say to much since I have only tried and failed at elden ring, but bloodborne has great atmosphere

[celest blaze]

Gameboy advance SP was peak

[austere crypt]

I still got my Gameboy color and my fiancee has theirs too. Theirs was the atomic purple one.

[wooden vigil]

i had nintendo,ps3 and alot cd games,but i broke all cds and my dad give the nin and ps3 to neighbor,now im sad when ever remember it

[onyx vault]

PSP was peak

[final vortex]

Bloodborne and DS1 are my favorites

[austere crypt]

Guys, can my Gameboy play S2

[final vortex]

I dont mean that remastered DS1 btw i mean original

[storm kernel]

now here's an actual hot take: part of the reason why bloodborne is considered the "best" fromsoftware game is because for the longest time it has been landlocked to the PS4, thus making the game seem more "exclusive" and therefore special

[obtuse quartz]

Only gameboy color

[edgy topaz]

if you ever have the opportunity you could get shadowgate on it, it's a good version of the game

[tulip cliff]

So this is debatable??? #📜┃gsc-answers message

[final vortex]

nope

[austere crypt]

You broke them all??? How???

[storm kernel]

remastered vs og are literally the same game

[rare surge]

when did they release it? Early 2000?

[hoary current]

@glossy blade Can I speak to you or someone who is in charge of the website/billing?

[wooden vigil]

cloud only good if u have nasa internet lmao

[austere crypt]

I think I've got it in box actually!

[paper scaffold]

I mean, it's not a no.

[storm kernel]

yummy

[peak portal]

Today I'm happy, I just noticed that y preorder will arrive only one day later, i was fearing it would be more later.

[onyx vault]

No, it's because it has the best atmosphere and story

[alpine sphinx]

ShadowPC, I used that for abt a year on a shitbox of a laptop

[edgy topaz]

fiber optic is common here so I used cloud with 100 mb dl speed and it played fine

[storm kernel]

I tried xbox cloud gaming once for BO6 and it was ass

[onyx vault]

And aesthetic

[tulip cliff]

Yeah, exactly what i think

[final vortex]

covenant switching option, faster frames and better graphics, its pretty different

[rose yarrow]

Guys, I saw that embargo lifts 2hrs before lunch, thats disturbing

[final vortex]

in a game like dark souls frame rates a big change sometimes

[rain marten]

While we are not getting any raw footage until just before launch, we are getting plenty of little tidbits from those who have played as well as a little datamined info, althrough this is not very reliable.

[edgy topaz]

not in time for the goty elections, maybe next year?

[wooden vigil]

idk at that time i rage and break all,bf3,cod mw 2 and 3,fifa 3 and damn,i hate myself old days lol

[naive bear]

lmao, I had the grape colored on or whatever its called. Gave it to my sister cause she needed it for a kim possible costume, that was 10 years ago and Ive never seen it ever since. I still think about it regularly

[brisk wharf]

👋Greetings to all guests! Greetings to you from 🇺🇦 , from the hero city - Kherson🍉!
Thank you for your support and love for our Ukrainian game 🫶

[onyx vault]

It is so much busier here than it used to be a year ago

[uneven berry]

24 hours to go

[gritty lily]

it'll be fine if you expect what you got in the first stalker games, they were janky and preformed poorly till the first patch, Not giving GSC a pass, but use that to keep your expections reality.

[storm kernel]

oh yeah remastered has 60FPS support instead of being locked to 30.

[rain marten]

25 by my count.

[storm kernel]

I cannot wait to play!

[rare surge]

we're just hours away from release so it doesn't surprise me

[onyx vault]

All these new ppl jumping on the bandwagon.
How many of y'all played SoC? Lol

[final vortex]

i kiss guys

[storm kernel]

I played it

[celest blaze]

I beat the trilogy

[wooden vigil]

can rtx 5000 max q run stalker 2,they same gpu as 2080 and got 16gb vram

[gritty lily]

I've played all the orignal games, anomaly, Gamma, and that other tarkkov themed mod for anomaly

[wise summit]

As usual I will have to brute force game with 4090 and do frame gen

[rare surge]

In the middle of playing it

[rain marten]

Never played CoP. Did play the others though.

[final vortex]

me, most people too id think

[waxen nacelle]

On the premiere. I got collectors edition (one in metal can :d).

[celest blaze]

Cop is decent imo I'd play it after s2

I'll drink Nemiroff V0dka neat with my Stalker 2 🇺🇦 🤝 🇫🇮

[naive bear]

who of you played stalker (he asked in the stalker discord server)

[rare surge]

Stalker 2 won't be like anomaly or gamma, more like a huge upgrade to the originals

[wooden vigil]

anomaly spotted

[fervent prism]

stalker 2 tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[celest blaze]

I gotta play that one I think my favorite mod is call of the zone I beat it on master

[regal sapphire]

good thing I prebought stalker 2 today

[dark fulcrum]

I've got my limited edition package👀

[ember moth]

not an excuse, i did as Redigit said and played the games through "means" and then got the trilogy after like 13 years

[frank night]

Waiting for the collectors edition

[knotty wren]

Will there be cross safe between PC and xbox?

[boreal epoch]

It's good that new players also come here and are so excited to play. I'm a stalker veteran but everyone is welcome. I do not care is someone is new, played old games or just played Anomaly/Gamma.

[wise summit]

Games comes 12am my time prob will play it by 12-30 after it downloads and refund by 1-30 due to Perma shader stutter

[dapper elm]

I’ll get it when they add NFTS

[molten owl]

Just preordered last night super excited to start the journey. I play a little bit of the old games, but not all the way through.

[celest blaze]

Another reason is because they are "old" but I beat the trilogy in May just fine

[rare surge]

With the influx of cash GSC will get, I hope we can see some DLCs summer next year

[wooden vigil]

also maybe they feared the bugs or graphics,just want the modern gaming not retro 1 lol

[onyx vault]

I thought anomaly/gamma players got banned here?

[sacred obsidian]

Or better optimised use of UE5

[naive bear]

I was about to say

[dreamy gate]

Absolutely! Playing through SoC with no mods on Steam and have had zero issues.

[wooden vigil]

wdym br

[ember moth]

the doube standards, people will play Half Life because its a classic but not the original stalker games because they are old

[jaunty pebble]

Not really, unless they get really annoying and break rules

[celest blaze]

Then they are zoomers lol

[gritty lily]

Maybe let it finish building the shaders first before you try to brute force it? Might help.

[celest blaze]

Right? It's kinda comical lol

[vivid sphinx]

Briefly played CoP Misery, then CoC, then switched to anomaly. I liked the “choose your own path”-ness of CoC and Anomaly, not having any real expectations or quests. Just getting to experience the zone.

[gleaming sequoia]

The old jank is what makes it great

[boreal epoch]

Lmao that would be funny from GSC. After all I said I do not care not GSC xD

[jaunty pebble]

Delete it

[celest blaze]

People are pumped half life 2 was free the other day but refuse to play vanilla trilogy lol

[hasty elk]

Thank you, that was a new word for me and I learned something new because of this. I stand corrected and will drink Nemiroff Horilka. Bottle is currently in my freezer 🤌

[wooden vigil]

yea lmao,funny

[jaunty pebble]

Its bad, True Stalker is a bad mod

[gritty lily]

I mean I play fallout/elder scrolls games partly for the ragdoll jank, as its always a funny time when it derps out.

[static compass]

Ong

[alpine ibex]

One age well the other not so much... plus the main quest are literally book reading 😆 🤣 😂

[celest blaze]

Oblivion ragdoll was PEAK lol

[slow ingot]

why not both? lol

[ember moth]

I like how Clear Sky sales are so low its the cheapest game and always on discount, actually a hidden gem

[onyx vault]

I'm kidding...

[celest blaze]

Gamma is new and Shiney and "harcore"

[quaint glen]

Has anyone used xbox app on pc to play xbox games?

[gritty lily]

lol it was. some crazy halarity went on in my playthrus of that game.

[wooden vigil]

get used 1,gonna release rtx 5x series next year so yea

[boreal epoch]

To be fair Half Life 2 holds much better for average fps fan today. Stalker still holds good but it's full of jank not everyone likes. I do not judge

[alpine ibex]

Half life 2 was 🐐

[ember moth]

Both aged well, hell the Shadow of Chernobyl formula is timeless

[onyx vault]

Nobody likes it except for hardcore players

[celest blaze]

It's truly peak it's my favorite stalker

[slow ingot]

I remember when it actually was pretty hard years ago KEK

[marsh pond]

Yes

[gleaming sequoia]

If I don't get a bandit violently shaking as it fuses into the wall at least once I'll be a little disappointed

[final vortex]

escape from pripyat has multiplayer now

[slow ingot]

gamma got easier and easier as time went on

[crude talon]

i am unable to wait any longer

[jolly solar]

uhh did it dissapear from gamepass?

[jaunty pebble]

It gets worse

[waxen nacelle]

First one was great too

[rare surge]

WR for SoC is 8:48 min wow

[quaint glen]

Does it work well probably gonna refund my steam editon and just use my xbox copy

[gritty lily]

hahaha you know how it is XD embrace the random jank and laugh at it.

[ember moth]

mad crazy bait, i played it when i was 4 years old, you need to be ajournalist to find Clear Sky hardcore

[final vortex]

only if you let it, you can revert most of those changes in the modlist lol

[onyx vault]

They're gonna run out of digital copies of S2

[alpine ibex]

The settings the open world map design yeahhhh... the game itself, no

[celest blaze]

I got the last one

[gritty lily]

how do you figure that? they can literally generate as many codes as they please.

[slow ingot]

yeah i've been doing that for a long time, install gamma for qol and visual fidelity, remove bloat and crap i don't like

[wooden vigil]

try 4090 when 5090 release, maybe price will down a bit

[celest blaze]

(It's bait)

[onyx vault]

You played CS at 4....?
You got a Nobel Peace Prize at 5?

[crude talon]

i still find it pretty difficult but thats me who doesnt play it that much, really difficult to adjust to all those mechanics, prefer something more vanilla like COC

[ember moth]

Why is that absurd? CS is just a video game, youre the one that makes it sound hard xd

[gritty lily]

Guess I fell for it, sorta. but at least I know they can't run out of codes lol

[slow ingot]

i was raised on misery mod (not literally, just my first stalker mod)

[final vortex]

everytime i install gamma i up their damage and decrease mine cause i actually know how to play the game and get a good bit of ammo and money early on lol

[marsh pond]

Both were the same to me so it'll depend on the individuals tbh

[onyx vault]

You did not okay CS at 4, gtfo

[alpine ibex]

1st game i played on pc... the deadmatch too 😆 🤣 crossfire map

[onyx vault]

Maybe you touched the mouse if that's what you call playing the game

[ember moth]

in western europe, 4 years olds have ipads and consoles))

[final vortex]

i also like to disable their no exos in south mod cause i mean i dont see why someone in an exo wouldn’t be picking on rookies

[alpine ibex]

Doubt it.

[slow ingot]

i miss day one monolith raiding rookie

[static compass]

Stalker 2 is gonna go so hard tomorrow

[boreal epoch]

To be fair term "hardcore players" does not really mean hardcore as very hard. But it's to difference from Casual players that games like a few hours on a weekend and are not very deep in games

[gritty lily]

someone plays alot of open gankfest mmo's I see

[onyx vault]

And you're proud of that?

[ember moth]

keep coping that a 4y beat a game you got filtered by i will stop arguing

[onyx vault]

You are so full of crap & delusion that it's sad

[marsh pond]

Or it can be someone who likes the grind itself

[final vortex]

i dont like mmo’s, theyre weird to say the least

[ember moth]

i guess youre one of those late developed kids who only learned to speak at 9 years old? sucks to suck i guess

[celest blaze]

Ayo let's relax guys

[boreal epoch]

Brooo rip ;-;

[final vortex]

cant get into that whole roleplaying bit and with all those buttons to click for spells and such yeah no

[gritty lily]

So question, friend gifted me stalker 2 on steam, but it still says I can preorder it and doesn't say I have the game on the store page, I am worried I won't get the preorder stuff due to the game being gifted to me.

[onyx vault]

How old are you?

[frank night]

Same here

[celest blaze]

Our real enemies are certain freeplay mods not eachother

[gritty lily]

He got it for me for my birthday which is 5 days after Stalker 2 comes out.

[celest blaze]

@gritty lily happy early birthday

[ember moth]

my enemy is anyone who doesnt play DSH

[celest blaze]

Me but morrowind

[ember moth]

How is that relevant? i am 20y

[static compass]

[dark fulcrum]

omg the firestarter in the collectors edition is real.

[wooden vigil]

u also played cf?i miss that old days

[gritty lily]

Thanks, but any idea on the question? gonna be annoyed if I don't get that stuff because it was gifted.

[boreal epoch]

I love all 3 old games. Even CS despite being scared after so many people said it was the worst. It's still great

[onyx vault]

It's relevant bc your frontal cortex obviously isn't fully developed

[final vortex]

pixel gun 3d was kinda fun in younger years
i miss its prime

[celest blaze]

I feel like you should get it but I'm 100% sure

[static compass]

What's the question?

[untold salmon]

Technically true, brain doesn't finish development until 21

[ember moth]

i love morrowind so much because of the variety, though i played it very very late like 2 years ago, my first playthrough i went monk-mage and instatly to the Morrowind Capital DLC and got destroyed by the goblins

[onyx vault]

I hate this server tbh.
I'm always getting muted and I literally just came here to ask a question and this stupid bird is gonna piss me off

[wooden vigil]

at least with me cs much better than cop

[finite dragon]

Hello Stalkers

[granite mortar]

Wrong
People say its trash because they got Vist'd

[static compass]

Damn, then I'll always be this dumb

[finite dragon]

Tomorrow is the great day

[ivory sinew]

so sad when the devs turned full money-hungry and ruined the balancing completely

[wind hedge]

the new zealand trick is working?

[static compass]

F A C T S

[marsh pond]

Leave the bird alone lol

[ember moth]

why are you mad though, im being a good sport, youre the one who hates me

[azure tartan]

I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of Clear Sky, and tolerated the rest

[celest blaze]

Tribunal dlc is such a huge difficulty spike lol

[gritty lily]

Friend gifted me stalker 2 on steam, but the store still says I can buy it, and doesn't say I have the game already, and I am wondering if there is a way to tell if i'll be getting the preorder stuff or not.

[ruby warren]

Cordon machine gunner is where boys became men

[final vortex]

i always played just dudes with axes and heavy armor or hammers

[static compass]

You should be, yeah

[wooden vigil]

the game is only p2w war now

[boreal epoch]

You should because You already have it in Your library, no?

[onyx vault]

You're right about that. In a very short span of time I have developed hate for you.

[austere crypt]

[final vortex]

prolly filtered out 80% of players
lol

[jolly solar]

so no one anwsered me before, is stalker 2 gone from gamepass or is it microsoft being dumb

okay nvm it was dumb

[gritty lily]

yeah its in there, just was confused at how the store page didn't update. usually it hides the version I have when its in my libary but it doesn';t so was worried.

[crude talon]

i was raised on call of chernobyl still like it that much, in the 4 years that i play the stalker games i still prefer the more simpler games, might try some more on anomaly

[onyx vault]

You can easily cheese him

[stable jewel]

its a global release

[ember moth]

Maybe youre taking out a bad day on me, ive had a terrible days lately too but it doesnt mean we need to fight

[marsh pond]

So which is it!

[final vortex]

bro use google for two seconds it gives you several discussions of this exact thing on microsofts site

[gritty lily]

Stalker anomaly is much deeper than the orignal games were.

[static compass]

Omg
Cat

[onyx vault]

You said you beat CS at 4.
I'll fight about that

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[final vortex]

the game is on game pass

[wind hedge]

the game will release today for new zealand?

[celest blaze]

Now this I do not agree with

[ivory sinew]

nope. 21st

[static compass]

Where?

[celest blaze]

Anomaly had more item bloat but far less story

[gritty lily]

Gameplay wise I mean, not plot etc

[final vortex]

shit man i beat jelly car worlds at 8, thats pretty hard too

[jolly solar]

nah just xbox app being dumb as hell. it showed me half of the games and only MSFS 2024 was showing up as "coming soon to gamepass" after 3 restarts this shit finally decided to start showing everything up

[celest blaze]

Oh I thought you meant plot lol

[crude talon]

thats why i prefer the orginal games and the more "orginal" mods which dont add too many new features, but i still need to play through mods like oblivion lost and lost alpha

[gritty lily]

I was getting to it, I fogot to say gameplay wise its more in depth, but the og games were better plot wise.

[onyx vault]

That sounds like an iPhone game

[ruby warren]

I was playing ghost recon 1 at 4 years old on my dads pc, didnt get anywhere close to beating it though until i was older lol

[austere crypt]

I remember being so titled lol.

Eventually I timed it between hiding behind rocks and trees and then made a dash for it and almost got eaten by dogs right after without saving. I think I probably would have quit for awhile lmao

[marsh pond]

Ah damn I'd be panicking too tbh but glad it's sorted itself out now

[sick inlet]

Does Stalker 2 have HDR?

[ember moth]

I have literally nothing to gain from making that up though, playing video games at an early age also isnt a sign of intelligence or anything but just behavior,i started playing games early because i would sit by my father while he plays resident evil and he sometims shows me steps

[gritty lily]

I mean i'd hope so its a game in 2024 Ragy

[austere crypt]

That was me but with Tribes 2

[onyx vault]

It's literally just walking for hours and a little intense gunfight which I'm sure he took over for..

[jolly solar]

yup. classic microsoft bullshittery

[final vortex]

point and laugh, hes tryna get the game early!

[sick inlet]

Right? 😐 I rly hope it has a Dolby Vision profile

[gritty lily]

naw, not trying to bait, if I was I'd have used something better than that.

[onyx vault]

Speaking of which, I CANNOT get GR1 to run on my computer.
I've tried everything.

[storm kernel]

Bait or Restarted?

[nimble cipher]

vydra_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[crude talon]

look we can all agree that stalker soup is THE pinnacle of stalker mods not even gamma or anomaly can top it

[storm kernel]

bro but muh heckin tacticool!!!!!

[boreal epoch]

You should be fine

[final vortex]

I just get aggravated when ppl aren't realistic or fully forthcoming

[ember moth]

you mean OP2

[odd temple]

OP is better

[ruby warren]

Nah he never really watched me play as a kid he just let me run wild

[crude talon]

never heard of it

[storm kernel]

mature rated game
can't cuss in discord

[gritty lily]

Ty. well i'll find out tomorrow anyway so, i'll stop worrying about it. TBH i care more about the campfire songs than the items.

[onyx vault]

Y'all are tripping

[austere crypt]

Forget the f word you can't even say the s word **tty

[nimble cipher]

ivan_sherkov has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ivory sinew]

for real, like what the heck

[ember moth]

Im sorry it came out that way, i never said i was ultra good at it, just that as a kid you have alot of freetime to bruteforce things

[onyx vault]

"Look how ingenuous and superior I am!"

[dire gyro]

Guys I'm so excited this is one of those releases where I didn't think it would come and now here it is tomorrow we play

[boreal epoch]

[odd temple]

Play it, you have just enough time to complete it before S2 release

[storm kernel]

its funny to see Wolf bot pwn mfs who keep cursing in chat

[gritty lily]

They wanna keep the server pg-13, as dispite the games rating you know 8-10 year olds will be playing it.

[jolly solar]

gamepass purchased, now im ready for all the games :^)

[gritty lily]

its like this meme I have, Call of duty made for adults played by children, Splatoon, made for children played by adults.

[crude talon]

look, i dont have time, i like might have calculated my essays around the time that stalker 2 will be released, so i postponed all of my work and now i need to catch up before stalker 2 launches

[jagged grail]

but 8-10 year olds aren't even allowed on discord lmfao, you can't and shouldn't cater to that

[crude talon]

i didnt even know it was that harsh on curse words

[ivory sinew]

gimme f-bombs or gimme death

[gritty lily]

touche, good point.

[austere crypt]

Someone yesterday said the server was partnered. Idk what that means but I guess they have an outside party who wants to go be family friendly.

[ember moth]

@crude talon OP2 is a mod based on NS2009 (the original first soup mod, not stalkersoup) with the most content ever

[frank night]

Sad…

[onyx vault]

This server is the strictest I've ever joined

[crude talon]

should i try it?

[tribal hazel]

tmrw 😱

[jagged grail]

you're allowed swearing in partnered servers

[odd temple]

Didn't the trailers have the f-word?

[onyx vault]

I'll probably get muted today

[gritty lily]

I've been in worse offical servers than this.

[frank night]

They can play Roblox instead of S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[torpid viper]

God Stalker 2 if it is actually 150gb will take up to 22 hours to download on my wifi

[boreal epoch]

Why tho?

[jagged grail]

[austere crypt]

That's just what I was told. Like 3 people piled on me and said the same thing.

[onyx vault]

There's one mod here who hates me.
I haven't been here for a while

[gritty lily]

It prob has something to do with discord more than GSC wanting it, some red tape crap.

[odd temple]

So, we won't be able to quote the characters?

[boreal epoch]

22? For me at least 22. Most likely more

[onyx vault]

Kuro

[ivory sinew]

i have bad news...it's closer to 160GB now

[ember moth]

i recommend it, but its very difficult to adapt to at the start and is so big you cant imagine, were saying like 500 hours if you play perfectly, so if you get into it its so much fun, if you dont its okay aswell

[regal sapphire]

mcdonalds wifi

[crude talon]

i have like 500mbps so i am now that cooked

[torpid viper]

My wifi is usually pretty good, but there's been a ~10 day storm that's really destroyed my internet lately

[waxen nacelle]

And what is bad about this?

[austere crypt]

Gdi I gotta keep deleting games lol

[gritty lily]

Ouch, yeah bad weather will screw with wifi even indoors.

[crude talon]

i will keep it in mind, still need to play lost alpha too and such, need to get back into the stalker grind have been long away from it

[summer mauve]

Bro should i uninstall Mw3 from my xbox for stalker 2?

[ivory sinew]

longer to download for us with bad internet

[boreal epoch]

1. Disk Space
2. Download time

[torpid viper]

My ISP is just I guess not fixing the servers until after the storms but it's just been almost 2 not stop weeks

[ruby warren]

It shrank down to 142gb on xbox after an update the other day

[oblique swan]

I. Cant. Wait

[marsh pond]

Don't forget to delete ya sims

[ember moth]

public servers are always like that, im not even ative in this server cause i know if i speak for more than 1 hour ill get banned for some controversy

Still learning.

[wooden vigil]

nah,get pc 1 to play

[storm kernel]

I remember I used to be on some Youtuber's server and I got banned because I was talking trash about new call of duty with some other guys

[onyx vault]

There's a reason I don't come here

[boreal epoch]

1. Well it's still 160GB, especially on Console that got more limited space. If You play more than 1 or 2 games it can ramp up and fill Your drive

[gritty lily]

Its everywhere, around you, in your walls, in your skiiiinnnnnn~

[odd temple]

It's not released yet, ofc it's not running

[wooden vigil]

i mean 30 fps on xbox not enough now

[torpid viper]

Also crazy they actually put proper test benchmarks for the game, 1440p 60fps allegedly possible on my PC?

[ruby warren]

Superhornet my beloved

[ember moth]

well i should have clarified, its not controversies that are the problem, but the heated reactions, also no energy to debate strangers tbh its easeir to curse them

[onyx vault]

Nice!! Can you cold start?

[static compass]

I'm gonna be deep in Stalker 2 tomorrow

[night crest]

strictest? nah, just weirdly unbalanced with moderation tbh

[static compass]

[ionic wasp]

[oblique swan]

Really? I dont think so. From what what Ive seen all you have to do is not be an a**hole and you will be fine

[night crest]

i Will dm you something

[dim topaz]

Try and say the Gamer word and you'll be liberated

[waxen nacelle]

Oh, fair enough i guuess. Last console i had contact with was NES.

[wooden vigil]

goofy ahh lowest setting with 30 fps on xbox is sth hell

I got a better one, I got banned from a discord for disagreeing with a moderator who said "reeee" (like that dumb 2012 meme) was abelist. Not even in a disrespectful way, I just said that I didn't agree and found that to be a little extreme and they perma'd me instantly

[jolly solar]

im scraping along the minimum requirements for the game

Why would you say that on a public (I assume western) discord, when you know what the average western person thinks when they hear that

[onyx vault]

That's what discord is becoming.

[ember moth]

interesting actually, whos the rarest/most exotic stalker you know?

[shy lake]

Traversal stutter…..

[edgy narwhal]

I wonder when the code will came for steam bcs i preodered collectors edition

[crude jetty]

too bad, you're gonna have to wait

[clever vapor]

i know, im asking for too much, but i want something that can be near this game but in a AAA game.. 😦

[gritty lily]

Some mods on these servers and places like reddit get a power trip and a ego boost cuz they can ban people, if your banned for no reason it just shows how shallow a person that one who banned you is.

[crude talon]

i cant

[jolly solar]

yeah thats not happening

[onyx vault]

The Marked One?

[crude jetty]

you are

[ember moth]

fair but it was for the best, i am better off without that place

[clever vapor]

why dont they just put a hard survival mode, and people who scared, just select normal mod..

[static compass]

Stalker 2 has survival elements, just no crafting

[crude jetty]

good job!
you're doing it!

[ember moth]

i meant nationalities

[wraith cove]

Talking about nationality? I have no idea maybe bengali

[ivory sinew]

these two dudes are gonna create burner anomalies with their PCs lmao

[torpid viper]

I just vibe check the mods of every server by saying something crazy upon joining and if they can't handle my silly style I don't wanna be there 😤😤

[odd temple]

What the hell

[tropic trellis]

blowout soon fellow stalker

[jolly solar]

my friend couldnt get it in time ;-; he wanted to get the ultimate edition but it was always out of stock and when we realised about the new preorders it was already too late

[static compass]

You still have to eat, sleep etc.

[marsh pond]

My man magpie/flint even tho you mean actual person

[gritty lily]

which annoys me, because crafting stuff to me is a big part of a survival mechanic

[granite mortar]

Because the game never was about difficulty or survival

[dire dagger]

You won’t be getting more then 10 fps I’m sorry to say

[odd temple]

Probably someone from English-speaking countries

[terse shore]

that’s what they have?

[steep solstice]

You have to be crafty with your survival then.

[terse shore]

every stalker game has gameplay difficulties

[jolly solar]

lmao where is lowspecgamer where we need him

[gritty lily]

like at least let us cook and eat the zone mutants like in anomaly, thats all I want as a food source, as you know damn well they do it.

[static compass]

Anomaly and Gamma are survival mods set in the Stalker universe

[wraith cove]

What? I thought english stalkers were fairly common

[ember moth]

ive seen a krygyz, a couple moldovans, but the most memorable to me is a guy from Ossetia (a separatist country in the Caucasus recognized by no one)

[pearl olive]

why don't they put in microtransactions and purple dragon gun skins too?

[onyx vault]

I'm chill until somebody says something stupid

[wraith cove]

Damn thats pretty crazy. Very exotic indeed

[molten owl]

Just a chill guy huh grey

[ember moth]

why do you hate stupidity that much? its around us everyday anyways

[civic blade]

So is stalker 2 a repeat of cp 2077 or are the devs just really cautious about letting their game out into the wild in advance of release?

[static compass]

So unbased

[torpid viper]

Oh I say a lot of stupid shit but it's extremely obviously a meme to anyone that has a brain

Who asked if they can romance with sidorovich in gsc questions lolol was it because of the chicken!

[wooden vigil]

and it will go fast

[vivid sphinx]

Likely a bit of both. It probably isn't as optimized as it should be, but I don't think it will be cyberpunk levels.

[upbeat kestrel]

yaa i wanted to pre load the game to be ready on launch but apprently only console

[civic blade]

Romance option for sidorvich plz
