[hazy jewel]

Other then a life 2.0 what else is there to add other then new content ?

[celest blaze]

true MP is skippable imo since its just TDM, capture the relic and other things

id love for the AN-94 to come back

[gritty orchid]

True, more weapons would be goated

[daring storm]

This game doesn't do my taxes! Alife can't save it.

[finite dragon]

alife will be cool. but honestly doesnt ruin it for me. what kills my soul is no open world limansk

[hazy jewel]

Same but no ray tracing even though it was promised is crazy

[finite dragon]

not really.

uh lumen is raytracing also if you edit the values of it you can get cyberpunk levels of raytracing

[hazy jewel]

Lumen is software ray tracing way worse then hardware ray tracing

[finite dragon]

well its still there. and i agree

[hazy jewel]

What ?? They added a worse version of ray tracing thats forced on and you cant turn off
and im 26

For not liking the fact that they forced everyone to use a very bad version of ray tracing ?

Im guessing your trolling right?

Ah so you are trolling i get it saying someone else is acting 10yr when you're the one acting like a child

Whats the point in trolling when there are only 2 people talking in chat

[nimble cipher]

desposito17 has been warned

Reason: telling users to kill themselves

[celest blaze]

If you don't relax I'm going to mute you

One warning

@hazy jewel if they continue ping me and I'll deal with them

[daring storm]

What a tool

[celest blaze]

RT is cool esp in 2077 telling people to kill themselves for liking it is retarded as fuck lol

[daring storm]

The first step to giving advice is following your own advice and I don't think he followed his own advice.

[celest blaze]

Goodbye

[nimble cipher]

desposito17 has been banned

Reason: being toxic and telling multiple people to kill themselves

[daring storm]

I'm going to laugh at him in the other servers he's in.

[celest blaze]

Based haha bros gonna play the victim haha

[rugged edge]

Oh I just missed the fun ig

[celest blaze]

They banned me guys! Only told multiple people to kill themselves

[daring storm]

Man he doubled down in the other discord.

[nimble cipher]

soundtrackj has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[daring storm]

[dire dagger]

Go bully him there too

You have my blessing

[celest blaze]

Lol

[celest goblet]

wtf

[dire dagger]

I want to say slurs atm

But that would be bad

[celest goblet]

bro needs to chill its a video game

[daring storm]

Lmao

Can't you just ban him? He's taking from my Yakuza: Black Flag time and that should be a ban able offense.

[dire dagger]

Idk what server that is

[celest blaze]

Gamma

We got him out of there aswell

Bro this all started due to raytracing

Lol

Mfs UNHINGED

[dire dagger]

You like graphics and I don’t

You should blow your head off

Fucken loser

[celest blaze]

Fr haha

[granite mortar]

Just use UE5 feature names instead
The meaning wont change much

[dire dagger]

[daring storm]

He's not taking the bait in the KCD server unfortunately

[celest blaze]

Bros learnt his lesson

Only 2 took back to back bans to not act retarded

[daring storm]

But I am persistent and I don't forget.

[celest blaze]

Same

Dbz pfps are either chill, racist or unhinged no in-between

[leaden marsh]

how can i disable flashlight cast shadows?

[zinc apex]

via mod maybe I dunno

[celest goblet]

Maybe a config file edit too idk

[gritty orchid]

they should've added this as an option in the graphics settings x)

[hazy jewel]

I mean its 1 shadow

[gritty orchid]

at this moment the current "iteration" of the casted shadows from the headlamp is kinda bad, and imo the performance cost is not really worth it

[hazy jewel]

Hardware ray tracing will replace the software ray tracing they have right now

[foggy jolt]

when is hardware lumen/nanite being implemented?

[hazy jewel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Software raytracing uses lower quality mesh distance field representations of meshes while ray tracing uses the actual meshes. Hardware ray tracing is always going to be higher quality and more stable, and it can be faster depending on the hardware.

[celest blaze]

I'd love hardware level RT

[celest goblet]

I presume it's on the list of features they would like to add. Game is kind of a mess still to be worry about that over fixes still.

[hazy jewel]

#📜┃gsc-answers message he didnt know the answer so i dont understand why he even responded tbh, i mean couldnt he have asked other workers ?

[leaden marsh]

well i didnt find any engine ini or mod thats remove that cast shadows, it sucks on low and consums vram and fps, my 1650 hates that shit

[celest blaze]

Better to say something then nothing honesty like that can be appreciated

[hazy jewel]

True i guess

[celest blaze]

It would be nice for a revised answer in the future

[celest goblet]

I think he's basically just letting people know that he won't be able to answer that right now. If we do it will probably be part of an announcement

It's up to the people who are deciding what they will work on and when

[foggy jolt]

thats what we want, hardware

[celest blaze]

Would be interesting to see all the inner workings at gsc rn but I'm not employed by them

It's nice we can talk about RT without people saying kill yourself lol

[hazy jewel]

Lol

[celest goblet]

Since the game is RT only I would definitely prefer hardware RT support

[celest blaze]

Fr

I hope it reaches 2077 levels one day

[foggy jolt]

Change engine pls

[celest blaze]

id like to go back to Xray 1 ngl

[celest goblet]

lol, they'd basically be remaking the game from scratch at that point

[celest blaze]

the static lighting and everything in this pic is PEAK

id kill for stalker 2 to look like this tbh

[gritty orchid]

[orchid gale]

It was all a dream

I used to read word up magazine

[static compass]

[static compass]

Also country lmao

[orchid gale]

Honestly, yeah lol, exactly like country

Although I did stumble across one of the best country songs I’ve heard in my life the other day, one second here.

[static compass]

I just listen to metal now, but my favorite band kicked out their lead singer so I cry

[outer laurel]

Tis why I uninstaled Stalker 2 to instal the trilogy again...

[orchid gale]

You need more storage bro

[outer laurel]

Until they fix the game which will happen during 2.0 version.

[daring storm]

Download more storage

[outer laurel]

Nah, stalker 2 right now is broken as my future marriage

[orchid gale]

@static compass https://open.spotify.com/track/2Vs58dFAV5qPXlNSyk2k14?si=f8xA_568TAWtFPZ31jl8iw

this country song is awesome

[static compass]

Amazing

[orchid gale]

Well you have to listen to it, silly

[celest blaze]

based as hell

[static compass]

I've heard it before lol

[orchid gale]

I’d go for more ram first

[static compass]

Still funny tho lol

[outer laurel]

Atleast trilogy looks better and plays better than Broker 2

[daring storm]

That's illegal! Download a car and drive to the store and buy some ram.

[static compass]

Plays better maybe, but your lying to yourself if you think it looks better

[orchid gale]

Dang 😔

@static compass don’t engage it’s ragebait

[static compass]

Nah, trust me. I know what I'm saying

[daring storm]

How ya gonna k'naw what i'm sayin? k'naw what i'm sayin?

[orchid gale]

More like me trying to pick up the goth girl at the club tbh

[static compass]

What about the goth boy?

[daring storm]

Not even space could lift his mom.

[orchid gale]

No no I’d be the one getting picked up in that scenario

[static compass]

True

[orchid gale]

I’m so confused by this😭

What happen

[orchid gale]

Also, for those Pokémon packs, idk how you’d want to do it.

You don’t have to do the 151 set with me because they are kind of expensive. But you could pick up any pack or packs and we could like send a video of the pack opening for the pulls or something. Or video call or whatever.

I’m planning on buying an entire booster pack box of them from Japan. For like 180 cad in a week here comes with 20 packs or so.

[celest blaze]

[orchid gale]

I have two vr sets, I don’t normally use them but I can play 🙂

[static compass]

Sweet

[celest blaze]

hmm id have to get back to you on this

[static compass]

What about you

[celest blaze]

id like to get into VR for warthunder and DCS

[orchid gale]

Ok no worries I’ll let you know when I order mine !

[static compass]

Quest or PC?

I've got a quest personally lol

[orchid gale]

I have the quest 2 so I can do both I think … I’ve only used it connected to pc

But yeah it does have stand alone as well,

I built my pc specifically for VR stuff

[static compass]

My PC can run vr chat through my quest, but it lags like hell if I'm in a world with a bunch of people

[orchid gale]

I’ll share some vram with you, I gotchu

[static compass]

Lol thank

It's a laptop tho

[sly viper]

can i have an explanation why guards do not respond when mercs aggro on me in rookie village?
A-life working as intended?

[static compass]

That's a bug

Settlement guards should respond to any hostile npcs

[sly viper]

its this kind of stuff that make me feel like i need to take another break till new big patch

[celest goblet]

Been listening to the soundtrack in the background and the tracks for all the ending cutscenes are bangers

[silver warren]

Hey hey people

Guess I'm not banned yet lol. Drunk af last night

[celest blaze]

looked to see if i saw ban worthy things and i did not

[silver warren]

No

[celest blaze]

hello

[silver warren]

Good mornin

[orchid gale]

Man cannot handle his liquor Fr

[celest blaze]

not like the bozo i banned this morning who couldnt handle his raytracing

[silver warren]

Not really anymore lol quit drinking almost two years ago so now it's a holographic rare occasion

[sly viper]

he had a rad emergency

[silver warren]

Oof what did I miss

[orchid gale]

Wait what happened 😭🤣

[celest blaze]

a user said they liked Raytracing and another member became unhinged told them to kill themselves then i warned and i was told to kill myself banned then and then they went to gamma server to continue the tyraid calling ukranian devs sub human animals got banned there to dm the mods saying another member should be shot and they hope the russians do it

[silver warren]

I just checked on of the other servers I'm in that's all about cars and since last night the entire chat has become furries spamming pics of their fur suits. Idk if I should just leave or contact the space wolves

[silver warren]

And I thought I couldn't handle my liquor

Russians will get em

[celest blaze]

💀

[orchid gale]

Average AMD fan 😂

[silver warren]

I wish I was here for that so I could troll em saying my 4060 ti is superior because I get 75fps on cyberpunk with ray tracing and path tracing enabled. Do you mods ever sleep? I commend y'all

[granite mortar]

Completely reasonable :3

Man I hate Lumen
And Nanite
And all the other UE crap

[silver warren]

UE has ruined gaming imho

[granite mortar]

They sell halfbaked shit and mislead devs into believing that its all they need

Also
Hearing Vávra talk about UE was fun

[silver warren]

Is that the YouTuber showing the flaws?

I miss the old days when each dev pretty much used their own homebrew engine

I would give up my last testicle just for a new modern home made by Ukrainian babushka, x-ray engine

[granite mortar]

No
Vávra is the founder of Warhorse studios
The developer behind Kingdom Come Deliverance

[static compass]

Someone said "UE takes the soul out of gaming"

Not always the case, but sometimes yeah

[silver warren]

Oh based. I've never played either KC game but I recently got the first one. I've seen the way they handle things though and I respect tf out of them

[granite mortar]

Yeah
Impressive work they do
I kinda wonder what will be next for them after KCD

[silver warren]

It'd be interesting to see them dip their toes in to a completely different setting

I think I'm just burned out on medieval or fantasy RPGs

[granite mortar]

I mean
Vávra has done some great marginally different games before
Like Mafia City of Lost Haven

Recommend playing that btw
As well as Mafia II
He didnt work on the third one tho, and it turned out to be absolute garbage, what a coincidence

[dire dagger]

should have got a laptop with oculink

L bozo

[static compass]

[dire dagger]

i mostly kid options for laptops with oculink are pretty slim

but it gives you the ability to plug a full size desktop gpu at full speed into your laptop

[static compass]

Interesting

[stiff pasture]

Damn, I missed the dumbass

[orchid gale]

That’s a dpi cord

[dire dagger]

Nah its an oculink cable

looks similiar but its not

[orchid gale]

Oooh yeah I see, it’s just a dpi cable the long way

[silver warren]

I've played all the Mafia games. III definitely was weak

Wtf is oculink? I'm a boomer

[foggy jolt]

can someone recommend me some good story/graphics games? my stalker is bugged and cant follow richter at the end 💀

[silver warren]

Spyro

I keep hearing good things about Kingdom Come so maybe that

Idk I just play any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game I can get my hands on, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, New Vegas, and random indie games on steam. Oh and handheld pokemon

[urban basin]

Alan wake 2

[silver warren]

What was that game that came with PS4? Until Dawn? That shi was cool

[granite mortar]

You know there are more Stalker games, right?

[silver warren]

I've played them all

[foggy jolt]

kinda want to test my 5070ti

[granite mortar]

Clear Sky is demanding enough :3

[silver warren]

Playing HayZee rn until 2 is better

Clear Sky was great. Shooting mechanics suck but there's mods.

SoC is still the best of the og trilogy

CoP was the most fun though

Once they get A-Life 100% in 2, and after a year or two of modders, 2 will be peak. Not holding my breath though

[granite mortar]

Clear Sky was great
And shooting was great too

[silver warren]

I don't get all the Clear Sky hate honestly

I think it's younger folks just hating to hate because they have no attention span

[foggy jolt]

stalker 2 is my first game out of the series lol

[silver warren]

Funny how like half the story of 2, you'd have to have played Clear Sky to understand

[granite mortar]

Its just dumb people saying dumb things
Clear Sky haters are the same as Anomaly fans
They cant form a single argument

[foggy jolt]

id probably try a modded stalker like gamma

[silver warren]

I like Anomaly but only because it's modern and feels good

[silver warren]

GAMMA will destroy you and you'll think lesser

[urban basin]

Try the og ones before going into anomaly or gamma

[granite mortar]

I find it utterly boring
Empty and uninspired
Call of Chernobyl but worse, kinda like long movie franchises get worse with each entry

[silver warren]

Yeah GAMMA is just mechanics, there's no meat and potatoes

It's like playing Tarkov with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sprinkles

[granite mortar]

Its just bloat and artificial difficulty
Doing everything in its power to stop you from progressing so you dont have enough time to actually think about the gameplay loop

Absolute garbage far detached from what stalker is about

[silver warren]

Try vanilla Anomaly but only after finishing the og trilogy

[granite mortar]

Try good mods
Anomaly is always overglorified and talked about like some sort of ultimate mod but it really has nothing of its own

[foggy jolt]

legends of the zone trilogy?

[silver warren]

Imho anomaly is for seasoned veterans of the old games who didn't want to stop playing once they ran out of shit to do (which is impossible) but the moderness of it makes it a new experience

[granite mortar]

Yes

Ehh
Its not like theres nothing to do
There are thousands of mods
Majority of which are more full and cohesive expreienced than Anomaly is
I mainly play story mods (finished around 40 as of now) and Anomaly is so bland in comparision

Well
Nearly every freeplay mod is
But Anomaly especially
Its so busy yet so stale at the same time

[silver warren]

Memoirs of the Zone is a great modernized experience of SoC

Doesn't mess with the story and improves a lot

[granite mortar]

I dont really play overhaul mods
But I may give MotZ a go sometime

[silver warren]

I'm replaying it rn because the last time I played it was before the last update. It holds true and it's like playing SoC with all the cut stuff back, with modern engine and graphics but still x-ray and not anomaly x-ray

[granite mortar]

Well yeah
Its a passion project from heart
By people who love stalker
For people who love stalker

[silver warren]

Just be careful with the HDR slider lol

Or play without HDR if you don't feel like fine tuning your lighting and graphics for seven hours like I did

Have I mentioned I'm apparently autistic

[granite mortar]

Well you play Anomaly so thats given

[finite dragon]

Tried call of chernoby actually had a lot of fun even with a few add-ons

[granite mortar]

Yeah its a nice mod

[finite dragon]

I'm probably the only that prefers the npcs to be original not adding any of the HD stuff in COC

[celest blaze]

i love the og look and feel

[silver warren]

Idk I think the original NPCs have charm

[granite mortar]

Nah
Every sane person preffers that
Mainly because nearly every HD model mod looks ass and doesnt even try to mimic the look of the original models

[finite dragon]

Same here man same here everytime I see the og npcs it makes look more better the hd models makes them feel off

[silver warren]

Exactly they change too much

[finite dragon]

Cough cough efp players not knowing how good the orginal npcs were

[silver warren]

Cough cough efp is trash

[granite mortar]

Altho I kinda liked the HD models in Spatial Anomaly
Or at least wasnt bothered by them
They had consistent style

[finite dragon]

Tried it once I actually got bored fell asleep fast went back straight into call of chernobyl and dead air mod

[granite mortar]

EFP players arent real
They can hurt you

[granite mortar]

Oh Dead Air
How much have we lost

[celest blaze]

fr

[silver warren]

I've never played dead air

[north violet]

That was my feeling when people were complaining about Shadow of the Erdtree having too many "boring" and "empty" areas.

[finite dragon]

I actually don't get why others think efp is good when efp just feels lifeless not a single mutant roaming in the mod

[finite dragon]

Dead air autumn aurora stalker A.R.E.A so underrated 😔😔 also wind of time

[granite mortar]

Its direct continuation of Call of Misery
Got really good atmosphere and some nice mechanics
Good blend between grim hardcore and fun freeroam

[granite mortar]

Wind of Time my beloved
First mod I played
Gotta replay it one day

[finite dragon]

Speaking of misery gonna try to look for a misery type mod for clear sky I do know clear sky mystery mod is one

[granite mortar]

Why ruin Clear Sky tho

[finite dragon]

I need to finish it since I was focused on coc

[finite dragon]

I've liked the orginal the most just curious about what mods it has

[north violet]

It has one but I can't remember the name of it.

[celest blaze]

@granite mortar AW at night with no NVG is kinda freaky lol im not tired enough to sleep

[finite dragon]

I think it was the clear sky mystery mod which is similar to autumn aurora

[granite mortar]

Not many
Clear Sky is a literal middle child as it gets no attention from modders
It has the Doppleganger series tho

[silver warren]

Based

[finite dragon]

Clear sky does indeed deserves more attention since it's one of the most underrated gems till this day with and without mods

[north violet]

No I mean the team behind Misery also made an equivalent mod for Clear Sky, though I'm not sure if it was actually finished.

[silver warren]

Can we all agree that everyone crying about NV in 2 need to just go eat a kit kat?

[granite mortar]

Tbh I preffer it this way
Clear Sky is great out of the box
SoC and CoP are just better for modders

[north violet]

No.

We had night vision in the original trilogy, we should have it in S2. Plus we can literally see NPCs that have NVGs on their helmets.

[silver warren]

Idk maybe it's my card and settings but I don't even feel the need for NV. Can see fine at night. I do understand the sentiment that it's been there since the beginning, but I'd rather have A-Life and bugs fixed before they start adding features

[celest blaze]

man i could use some NVG theres bloodsuckers about and i cant see shit 💀

(in teamlite)

[finite dragon]

True facts 💯 speaking of that I might do another playthrough of soc without any mods on since I'm started to miss the og look of the game a lot

[silver warren]

Play motz

[granite mortar]

[foggy jolt]

rtx hdr 😎

whats the order i should start playing the old stalkers?

[silver warren]

It'll make your game look like daylight if you even glance at the moon

[celest blaze]

Soc > cs > cop @foggy jolt

Timeline is order of release

[foggy jolt]

nah not at all honestly

[silver warren]

In motz it will

[foggy jolt]

shadow of chernobyl > clear sky > call of pripyat?

[celest blaze]

Yeah

[silver warren]

I've never seen hdr act the way it does in motz. Maybe I'm just tarded, which is a huge possibility, but the HDR is insane in that mod

You'll walk through a ray of sunlight and the whole game washes out, unless you spend a bunch of time doing fine tuning

Then I go play any other game or mod and everything looks and acts great

[north violet]

Oh yeah, bug fixing and A-Life should 100% be priority before NVG and binoculars are added. I'm just saying that a sequel shouldn't be missing stuff from the previous games.

[silver warren]

Ok yeah I agree, it should be there. But there's a huge number of players heckling gsc to add NV NOW. Which I think is bs

[dire dagger]

wdym clearsky is a prequel

[north violet]

Agreed, people need to be more patient.

[celest blaze]

Prequel but needs to played after soc

cs has major spoilers for soc

[north violet]

CS also has new mechanics that SoC didn't have.

[silver warren]

I can see where players are coming from though, I did an experiment. I downloaded stalker 2 on my Xbox just for shits because wife was out of town and I was taking care of our baby, couldn't go down to the man cave to my PC. It looks like utter ass on Xbox. Dark af and seriously no AA and looks like a modern warfare game. Granted that's the first game I've tried playing on Xbox since building my PC so it could've just been shock of the difference

[north violet]

I mean, I'd rather have nighttime be actually dark rather than the weird blue filter thing that so many games do. We're in rural Ukraine, it should be pitch black out at nighttime unless the moon is out.

I live in a rural area myself and you would not believe how dark it gets in rural areas; that ambient light does a lot of heavy lifting. It's even darker if it's cloudy and even more so if you're surrounded by trees and/or hills, which I am.

[silver warren]

Yeah same here, I live in the sticks of the PNW. Maybe were just used to the dark

[north violet]

Hills of Upstate New York here.

[silver warren]

I'm like 30 mins from Canada inna woods

I've hunted elk in more dark than Stalker 2 lol

[north violet]

Unless you're in an area with a bunch of farms, hills/moutains and forests describes most of New York State's terrain. Looking at a topographical map, the only really flat areas of the state run along the Southern and Southeastern edges of Lake Ontario.

[silver warren]

Bro I look out my windows and can't see shit because of mountains

Got fiber Internet though so I'm happy

[north violet]

I'm not that deep sadly, also I'm surrounded by farms which means way less tree cover.

[simple geode]

I did Misery 1.0 and 2.0 for CoP and imo 1.0 is better purely because 2.0 just makes things bluntly difficult for no reason

[silver warren]

I live in a "neighborhood" so houses are close ish. But moving in a couple weeks even deeper inna woods. Sick of people and want to raise my kid right

[north violet]

I'm in a hamlet. Once I have the opportunity to work remote, I want to move deeper into the hills so that I'm properly isolated away.

As long as I still have Internet I'll be happy.

[simple geode]

can't live anywhere near NYC nowadays its way too expenisve

[north violet]

I'm four and a half-ish hours away from NYC.

[silver warren]

Nice. Yeah my wife works from home and I drive about an hour each way from work

[simple geode]

even shitholes 1 hour from nyc are hyper gentrified now

[silver warren]

God I've had to go to NYC on work trips. I hate that place

[north violet]

The nice thing is that even when I move deeper into the hills, I won't actually be cut off from the rest of the world and especially not amenities like entertainment, medical, etc.

[simple geode]

I don't even live or work in NYC and its just hyper inflated shit because real estate agents gatekeep all the properties and pass off fees to tenants. I wish my job existed elsewhere because I like it but holy crap the whole area is expensive

[silver warren]

Bro that's how it is here in the secluded pnw now too. All the Californians moved here during covid because we didn't have mask mandates and they all started flipping houses to their friends and artificially drove our economy in to the ground. My place went from $500 a mo to $1600 in three years. My folks house in five years went from $120k to $650k

[celest goblet]

Been like that a lot of places

[silver warren]

Bars here won't serve you if you have an out of state id anymore

[simple geode]

Thats basically every place I've seen where my industry exists. Places are super expensive for legit dumps. My parents could not pay for their own house on their pay. I just viewed a house 1h from work and they wanted $2000 for rent and the floors were all warped and there was exposed insulation between the floor and the wall. I asked the realtor if any of this stuff was gonna be fixed or finished and he said "not to my knowledge, its provided as is" literally one phone call to the town would get this place condemned.

Oh and the asshole was demanding a realtor fee

[silver warren]

Yep. Just found a new place yesterday and it's ass for $1500 a mo which is cheap AF now. It's old as shit 2br 1ba with shit dripping down the walls but has an actual separated garage and a huge yard so we're taking it

[simple geode]

I wouldn't tolerate the shit dripping. If the landlord doesn't wanna fix that before renting it, you'll never get it fixed.

[silver warren]

Minimum wage here is still $7.25 btw

[silver warren]

I've been looking for weeks and it's the best

All the new millionaire transplants here have absolutely ruined our housing

[simple geode]

I feel like a luddite compared to coworkers, not that I'm trying to keep up with the jones's but when they claim my rent is "cheap" because they're blowing 3k a month I'm like "how are you saving any money" and truth be told, they aren't.

[silver warren]

There's some California streamer kid living down the road who gold plated his McLaren and has purple neon all over the outside of his house, and astro turf carpeted his yard

[simple geode]

slash his tires

[stiff pasture]

That kinda crap is how you paint a big juicy target on yourself

[silver warren]

Yep. Especially around here. I live 30 mins from Ruby Ridge lol

[dim topaz]

Just saw what KF3 looks like, did Tripwire hire Payday 3 devs after seeing their genius? What a piece of Sh1t lmao I'm livid

[simple geode]

bro KF hasn't been good since the OG KF, KF2 was legit rehash and the free open beta was 90% the game so no one bought it when it released lmao

[dim topaz]

Wild take, KF2 was great until they added the loot crate sh and that robots

[silver warren]

Wtf is kf2

[dim topaz]

At its core it is still a good game. Nothing can fix this tho, look at the gunplay man I have to puke

[simple geode]

Killing Floor

[silver warren]

That's what I assumed but I didn't know people still played that

[dim topaz]

The series might die proper with this release ngl

[simple geode]

idk I played in that beta, didn't buy it on release 😂

[silver warren]

If there's loot boxes then don't play it. Simple

[dim topaz]

remember how they spent years designing an intricate dynamic gore system and nvidia physx for guts flying everywhere
And then KF3 comes along and goes "let's turn it into a clunky hero shooter actually"

[silver warren]

Gaming and gambling aren't the same thing and never should go hand in hand

[dim topaz]

This game legitimately looks like a solo unity project you'd see on reddit or smth

[simple geode]

bruh even when KF2 came out Nvidia PhysX was depreciated. I had a dedicated physx processor and only a few games actually used it (I owned none of them)
Then they integrated that shit into future GPU's then discontinued it.

[dim topaz]

Yes but if you fired a rocket into a group of zeds, it would paint the entire room in blood and innards, and guts would be stuck hanging from the ceiling

It was a sort of therapeutic experience

[candid radish]

How's the game gentlemen?

[crisp ruin]

Good? Even getting better

[dire dagger]

its fine atm

but if your waiting before playing

[silver warren]

Still busted but better

[dire dagger]

id keep waiting

[simple geode]

I like it, I haven't run into anything gross in terms of bugs. Some memory leak shit still but its tame in rostok compared to old versions.

[candid radish]

Damn. I'll keep on KCD2 is suppose

[dire dagger]

game as a long way to go

[silver warren]

It's a great game if you've never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[dire dagger]

it is butttttttttttttttt

it will get way better further down the road so

if your holding out for the game to be in a feature complete state id wait

[silver warren]

Agreed

[simple geode]

I wish Duty and Freedom had their own story mission archs. There is legit nothing at the Cooling Towers or Rostok. It's bascially empty, useless space with some minor points of interest

[dire dagger]

I Want war

[silver warren]

I want some lootussy that isn't sustainment fluf

[simple geode]

I wish ||when you kill one of the dudes Varan requests you kill|| you get duty and freedom to go to war again

[dire dagger]

damn it was looking like spring was coming early but ig uess not

so i can destroy duty

[silver warren]

🤌🏻

[simple geode]

I wonder if I just go to cooling towers and kill all the duty guys like whats gonna happen? nothing?

[dire dagger]

they will start shooting you on sight

[simple geode]

ok thats expected

[granite mortar]

I want some guy like Skull to show up again and escalate the situation

[silver warren]

I stood behind the door where your bed is at the duty base during an emission. They all died and I just got a bunch of broken guns

[simple geode]

I had a similar thing happen at wild island. Once one noontide guy entered the door he kinda stopped and blocked all the extra guys from coming in and they all died

[dire dagger]

Give me war or give me death

[granite mortar]

Give me a rogue squad, a bomb and a wall to blow up

[silver warren]

There's still one body on the ground at the duty base with all the trash I didn't want who won't respawn

[silver warren]

Technically in Clear Sky one single perfectly placed bullet from a pistol would take out a wall

[granite mortar]

The wall was in SoC tho
And could be knifed

[celest portal]

I had npcs just stand around during an emission, they all died. Although I have seen one that remained unscathed after it was over, like nothing happened.

[silver warren]

Forgive my memory, been a while

[granite mortar]

You should replay the trilogy you heretic

[strange sparrow]

clear sky SUCKS dont play it

i quicksaved at agroprom after killing every duty member except for the handful of guys by the one gate, and the game keeps breaking seconds after loading the save

[dire dagger]

Bro came here and thought of the most disliked thing he could say and said it

[strange sparrow]

what are you on about

[dire dagger]

Clear sky is the best stalker game

[marsh wedge]

Hello everyone, but how the heck do you progress in Escape from the Sphere? This game is extremely frustrating! The difficulty balancing is terrible! Enemies respawn even after you kill them, you deal 1 damage while they hit for 10202920023847. This frustration completely breaks the game.

It could have been a great game.

[strange sparrow]

i would agree if i could play it again

[dire dagger]

Just load an older save idk

[strange sparrow]

the last save i have is when i joined the bandits

4 days ago

[dire dagger]

well thats on you chief

my channel not entirely stalker related atm, maybe when I start uploading consistently.

[slow sand]

I think youre not meant to go out in the front door. They infinispawn there. First time I did that, I was camping at the building and they didnt stop coming in. You can eventually get good loot doing this but I did this way back. Not sure if its patched now. To escape tho, theres a way out at the back of the building or just go back to the tunnels.

[steel bay]

Yeah same happened to me I was so confused until I went the right way

[candid radish]

Did 1.2 really not do much?

[celest goblet]

Hi I'm getting an Xbox tomorrow and was looking for games and saw this one and for someone who plays alot of metro on ps5 would you recommend this game

[hazy helm]

well Stalker 2 is an actual game, as opposed to metro
it will take time to adapt

[gritty orchid]

Just run towards the exit gate spamming heals, this is what I did

[frail belfry]

Anyone else getting loadsa crashes since the latest update? Always seems to happen when I am underground

[patent mortar]

maybe play the TrilOGy first, its called Legends of the Zone

then play S2

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[patent mortar]

Oh thank you

Now I wonder if theres someone plays the trilOGy starting with Clear Sky.

[worn oar]

Gonna stream some stalker 2 later on the server VC

[worn oar]

TrilOGy

No caps

[dire dagger]

I found floating cat fish in stalker 2 earlier

The game has so where is fishing

[worn oar]

How so?

[dire dagger]

It was just kinda swimming in the air

[worn oar]

Cool, I wish I can see that haha

perfect you need sys64 to run stalker 2 MP

[lofty helm]

[crystal merlin]

SPSA 14 is as good as Saiga and Ram-2

[dire dagger]

As saiga nah

Cus saiga takes a mag

Making it instantly the best

[drowsy blade]

SPSA-14 would be best if it didn’t take approximately 8 million years to reload

but Saiga with the extended magazine is unrivaled

[crystal merlin]

SPSA 14 has lower recoil and repair cost.

[dire dagger]

Who cares it’s a shot gun

[vale quartz]

spsa 14 is the best shotty tbh

saiga is for chinlet that can't take any risk

[dire dagger]

I don’t think that’s a benchmark of how good a weapon is

That’s just your dog shit opinion

[vale quartz]

it's benchmark of how big my chin is tho

[dire dagger]

Which is none existent

[vale quartz]

I can punch u with my chin

[dire dagger]

Pics or it’s a lie

[vale quartz]

no image perms sorry

[dire dagger]

Hence is not true

[vale quartz]

[drowsy blade]

sure lower repair cost and lower recoil is fine, but when The Zone throws three Bloodsuckers at me and I run out of shells on the first one, I don’t wanna just be standing there loading my shotgun for 10 years

[crystal merlin]

I do, saiga have too much recoil , my head hurts from using it, and the repair cost is way higher, making the SPSA 14/Sledge more efficient=> they are as good as each other.

[dire dagger]

By end game if you don’t got like 500k coupons

Your losing

When compared to me taking mutant damage while reloading my shot gun and damaging my exo

I’ll take the fast reloading shotgun every time

[granite mortar]

Who cares about recoil when you have the BEST thing ever used on any gun
A magazine

[drowsy blade]

the Saiga is shrimply better

[dire dagger]

Makes for good reading while in combat

When I need a break

[crystal merlin]

Perhaps I was too harsh towards the saiga?
I think you have a point, the saiga is best for mutants.
But when it's against human enemies, they're both as good, the ram too.

[granite mortar]

Saiga still better
Mag is really useful in every scenario

[dire dagger]

The faster I can reload

The less likely I am to damage my
Exo

Which is WAY more expensive to repair than the saiga

[granite mortar]

I cant think of a game or even a mod where Saiga wouldnt be fun to use

[vale quartz]

ermmm wrong

[dire dagger]

It’s not full auto

Recoil is just skill issue

[vale quartz]

the best thing in any gun is 2 canted rails with scopes and lasers on both side and one cated rail in the grip just in case u need that extra tacticool slop to make your enemies die of envy

[dire dagger]

Skif is lady’s man so he’d get out a Polaroid of one of the zones fine ladies and he’d hit them with you this that’s my girl

They would just give up

They lost

You won

[crystal merlin]

Ok you have a point there.
The saiga seems to be better than the SPSA/Sledge for most scenarios, including against humans(unless you're a sharpshooter that score headshot every shot, but by that point you can simply use anything).
But the SPSA/Sledge will always have a special place in my heart.
In fact I'm gonna run it until I get a saiga(playing an older save).

[dire dagger]

I mean that’s what I do too

I spray probably 400 shells through it before I replace it

[crystal merlin]

Still pretty fun to use imo.

So each exoskeleton has their own "unique" traits:
Loner exoskeleton have the highest(3 bars) psi protection after upgrades.
Brummbar gives you the highest wear and tear reduction rate + cheapest sprint upgrade.
Cuirass gives you the highest durability but no sprint.(The second most expensive exoskeleton lol)
Oper gives you accuracy while itself is lighter and has better stats than Ruby.
Liberty is the most expensive, more than diamond, but gives less stats than diamond.
Diamond has the best stats all around, give you the most physical protection and carrying weight at the same time.

[dire dagger]

Liberty is the best because it gives you the most useful buff

Stamina buff

[crystal merlin]

How good is 5% compared to a thunderberry though?

[dire dagger]

I use both

25 percent compared to just 20 is a massive w in my book

Then 3 night stars and a liquid rock

[crystal merlin]

No shielded artifact slot?
Also for some reason the night star stops spawning on my playthrough lol
💩 I can write as many as you

[dire dagger]

Well yah of course

[crystal merlin]

For some reasons the night star artifacts stopped spawning on my playthrough lol
Now it's only compass

[dire dagger]

There seemingly very rare

Rarer than most other artifacts

[granite mortar]

shielded what?

[dire dagger]

Slots

Aye the missing legos are out for delivery

[drowsy blade]

I’ve collected probably four Compasses on this playthrough

[storm kernel]

what sets did you get?

[dire dagger]

Not a set

Building a moc

[crystal merlin]

I think the reason why the Liberty Exoskeleton is so expensive is because it's the easiest to obtain compared to the others, if you simply just play the game without using any trick that's it.
Because you can always just buy the damn thing, unlike the other options where they're either blocked behind a quest or only in end game areas.

[loud gate]

You can get Duty Exo as soon as you step out from the Lesser Zone

[dire dagger]

But it has no sprint

And you can also get to Pripyat as early as you want

[loud gate]

Cause Dolg

[dire dagger]

The devs can’t keep me out

[loud gate]

With exploits. I am talking about ways of getting Exo without cheating.

[dire dagger]

It’s not cheating

It’s just using the sandbox

Their base is Garbage

[storm kernel]

stalker 2 should charge players real money for stuff like ammo, medkits, weapon repairs so it's more realistic

And when you die you have to buy a new copy of the game, because respawning/loading a save doesn't exist irl

dont forget the paid exo suits, they are now gatekeeped by Stalker Points

What!? Women doing things only a man can do!? Dont insult Skif. Reddit knows

[storm kernel]

the redditors would somehow be a more brainwashed faction than the Monolith. The end of the game would have you teaming up with Monolith to defeat them.

[storm kernel]

If you join the redditor faction as a woman they'll constantly simp over you and give you tens of thousands of coupons just for existing

[celest blaze]

New meta strat found

[dire dagger]

With extra 20 dollar fee to unlock nsfw content

[celest blaze]

[plucky bough]

Take my money. GSC give this man a raise he will make you millions

[crystal merlin]

I need new game plus right now my god

[plucky bough]

Limit your wepaons/options and look into Groks mods for weapon/med rebalance. Can make the game harder

[dire dagger]

New game plus so stalker 3

[gritty orchid]

did i read grok and mods in the same sentence?

[dire dagger]

Yah

[plucky bough]

Am i missing something?

[dire dagger]

It gammifies stalker 2

[plucky bough]

Na i just wanted mutants not to take my whole ammo and my med kits to heal over time. WTF is wrong with that?

[dire dagger]

We are professional gate keepers and gamma haters it’s not personal

It’s just our job

[plucky bough]

Sounds v personal to Grok 👀

[dire dagger]

I’ve never spoken to grok

[plucky bough]

Just about him behind his back instead. Ah i see. No worries, have a day

[gritty orchid]

dont let him see this convo, he'll prolly have a tantrum asking for credit cause we used the word gamma (apparently its copyrighted ©️ and trademarked ™️)

[storm kernel]

mutants don't take all your ammo if you don't just shoot wildly at them. If you're using an AR/SMG keep that in single fire so you don't waste ammo. Full auto should only be used in close quarters so you don't waste it

[finite dragon]

We gotta be sure to chase off the tarkov werdios lolz

[dire dagger]

Are you a grok alt or something

wtf

[storm kernel]

gatekeeping against "tacticool" redditors that just want the game to be a free to play Tarkov is morally correct behavior

[dire dagger]

When would I ever get the opportunity to speak to grok

[finite dragon]

Tried efp got bored tried gamma it was alright went back to call of chernobyl had a blast

[plucky bough]

Yea i use single fire exclusively. Im just also a shit shot when a bloodsucker(or 2) rushing me 😂

[dim topaz]

Hey I like Gamma

[dire dagger]

I think groks got better things to do than argue how good his mod is with us

[dim topaz]

DW you're not alone just in the oppressed minority (the fate of all gamers )

[storm kernel]

he's too busy figuring out how to implement a pissing system to make the game more IMMERSIVE and NOT-FAKING SURVIVAL

[dire dagger]

Finally the flowers will grow

[dim topaz]

[drowsy blade]

I’ve had three steal my lunch money outside the Garbage and sent me back to my last save at the Slag Heap, first thing i hear as I respawn is «Бананів нема» by Jonych.

I was mildly unamused.

[storm kernel]

the mechanic will require several complex key combinations to unzip your fly and start pissing (which will be different for each armor set, logically)

[finite dragon]

I tried to find that one meme of a tacticool dude but I can't find it lol ima still look for it

[plucky bough]

The bloodsuckers stole them all. They a sucker for them nanners

[storm kernel]

ALT + J + SHIFT + Enter + `, for example

[dire dagger]

You gotta full combo through the fire and the flames in order to piss

[dim topaz]

Do you think if you piss in the fruit punch anomaly it reacts violently and splashes back at you?

[drowsy blade]

Goddamn Bloodsuckers, leave me and my bananas alone.

[plucky bough]

Whirly-gig

[finite dragon]

Found it lmfaooo not sure where I need to post it

[storm kernel]

you have to keep the mouse perfectly straight as well to prevent pissing all over yourself

[dim topaz]

I'll give you one better.... 🎶 Chocolate rain 🎶

[drowsy blade]

It’s 2010 again or what?

[plucky bough]

Ill give you one better.... 🎶 Purple rain 🎶

[storm kernel]

if you don't drink enough water or eat too much bread, you can also get kidney stones which deal severe damage during combat

[plucky bough]

Man so many gamma haters here. Sadge

[dire dagger]

Too many energy drinks fr

[drowsy blade]

Skif would get kidney stones by the time he leaves the Lesser Zone because of all the energy drinks he downs

[storm kernel]

it's called being "based", thank you

[plucky bough]

Based on the sheeple of this discord yeah

[gritty orchid]

gamma supporter, ignored

[finite dragon]

I don't hate gamma don't get me wrong just the fan base that can be annoying comparing the og games to some tarkov type mod

[drowsy blade]

Gamma supporters have absolutely no right to say anyone else are sheeple lmao

[plucky bough]

Over zealous fans of any franchise are the worst yea

[storm kernel]

I KNOW the Gamma glazer isn't calling mfs "sheeple"

[finite dragon]

True

[dire dagger]

I mean if you criticize gamma you get insta banned

[drowsy blade]

On their discord?

[dire dagger]

Here your welcome to criticize the game

[dire dagger]

Yes

[finite dragon]

Efp server is worse

[drowsy blade]

Gods, they’re so cringe

[plucky bough]

And ive played the mod, i dont go around indoctinating people into it jesus "gamma glazer". Your all sad just hating to hate. Both gamma and vanilla are good in their own rights f me

[vale quartz]

grok can't take criticism cuz in his vision gamma is what stalker si all about lmfao

[dim topaz]

I think both sides are a bit silly tbh.
It's just a mod

[dire dagger]

@granite mortar yo pal we need you

[drowsy blade]

Oh no you’ve summoned the final boss

[finite dragon]

Was about to say mod is a mod we all have preference at the end of the day 👍👍

[dire dagger]

He may be sleeping idk if he will show up

[drowsy blade]

He’s always late to these conversations

[dim topaz]

Some like it hot yknow

[vale quartz]

its just a mod until the creator and tacticoomers who never played stalker start bragging like it's better than the trilogy

[plucky bough]

Na im a gamma glazer now because i called some people sheeple for hating on it because its not their cup of tea. Its ok, Gamma discord is toxic, this discord is toxic, discord is toxic. You get my point

[dire dagger]

The king has arrived

[gritty orchid]

gamma is like rust for me, i have 0 desire to play it myself, but i do enjoy watching someone play it (specially if they know what they are doing)

[dire dagger]

To lay down the law

[granite mortar]

Cuz gamma is poopoo
And its fans are (for the most part) annyoing idiots incapable of forming an argument or listening to the other sides argumants

[vale quartz]

u don't see this shit happening with other mods, not even anomaly

[celest blaze]

Grok shits on gamma modders in chat I've seen it

[gritty orchid]

even anomaly glazers hate gamma

[dire dagger]

Bro was on the front lines

[celest blaze]

Fr

[dire dagger]

Grok sounds like a dev I use to know

[finite dragon]

True everywhere can be the same no matter what service like I've said you like what you like we all have preference what we play

[celest blaze]

Comment on groks design choices in chat and see what happens lol

[dim topaz]

Don't take it personally it's a sort of rite of passage here

[vale quartz]

efp has more dignity than gamma cuz it doesn't hide the fact that tries to be sp tarkov

[dire dagger]

He would be like hey I made this feature what do you think we’d be like it’s kinda bad tbh

And he would say WELL WE ALREADY MADE IT SO TOO BAD

[hazy helm]

weak aura

[celest blaze]

They removed the AK12 Cuz they couldn't tweak its running animation

[hazy helm]

just say its objectively bad

[gritty orchid]

true, this is the only thing that makes me "like" efp, they dont hide what they are trying to do

[celest blaze]

I hate this lol

[finite dragon]

Honestly I find efp more eh and lame

[gritty orchid]

this proves how much of a dev and modder grok really is

[dire dagger]

Fr bro got lost in the sauce

[plucky bough]

And? Idgaf about the person. Im playing the mod

[dire dagger]

[gritty orchid]

your first messages says otherwise

[celest blaze]

Didn't ask tbh

[dire dagger]

Moving the goal post

Classic

[celest blaze]

Wipe groks juice off your chin when you're done bro

[drowsy blade]

Oof hit with the triple ping

[hazy helm]

[celest blaze]

Where's bros ears

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[vale quartz]

gamma is just dogshit poopoo doodoo to put on simple clear terms
Lot's of grinding shit and annoying feature just to make u forget the game barely has any content at all excet repairing shit with extremely convoluted mechanics

[dire dagger]

Anomaly players also probably eat rocks tbh

[drowsy blade]

Where’s bro’s ears

[dim topaz]

I doubt most people who downloaded it even cared who made it

[plucky bough]

The fact you all think i care about grok is hilarious keep it up 😂

[hazy helm]

he aint got any bro

[dire dagger]

Bro got pissed when I was talking shit about him early

[granite mortar]

He needs no ears cuz he not listening to all this

[dire dagger]

Now you don’t care

[celest blaze]

Ong

[plucky bough]

Sure did! Cant stand it.

[storm kernel]

tbh the idea of repairing your guns by taking them apart and using components from other weapons is a super cool idea, it's just really tedious in execution

[dire dagger]

Are you a grok alt is this some kinda physi op

call it psi-op, badum psstt

[plucky bough]

idk you tell me you people seem to know more about me than i do 🤷🏻

[dim topaz]

[dire dagger]

Or as Stalker 2 would say see op

[finite dragon]

The only thing I like to play anomaly is using the classic stalker overhaul like the og games same with call of chernobyl with arsenal overhaul mod

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[empty gorge]

PESEAAAA AMISSION HAZ BIN KONEKTED ZUCCZESFULI

[celest blaze]

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[plucky bough]

God damn you im so mad

[finite dragon]

Oooooo I can't wait to see how's its gonna turn out we need a misery mod for anomaly as well

[dire dagger]

Yah I can tell

[celest blaze]

The first step to becoming based is casting off the gamma shackles in rage

[dim topaz]

So what do you guys want for Gamma 2? Any wishlists for features?

[dire dagger]

Bro gets mad I talk smack about a public figure

[plucky bough]

Ah i love when one discord cant see their as toxic as the other. Brings tears of joy to my eyes. You guys are as bad as Grok

[dire dagger]

By that logic if I wanna talk bad about the president I gotta call him on the phone

[celest blaze]

Legends return skills, teamlite mechanics, call of the zone questing and true PiP scopes

[dire dagger]

And yell at him

[finite dragon]

The only mod I rather see in stalker 2 is bringing back some classic firearms the sig and the fn 2000

[granite mortar]

Anomaly is already built on Misery doe

[plucky bough]

This is the stalker discord. You dont apply logic here.

[dim topaz]

PiP scopes with Stalker 2's optimization... that might take a while to figure out lmao

[drowsy blade]

Didn’t grok say he’s not doing S2?

[celest blaze]

Fr

[dire dagger]

I’m applying more logic than you are friend

[hazy helm]

tbf

PiP is just

a bad decision

PiP sucks

[granite mortar]

Monoshit engine still cant handle PiP

[empty gorge]

he said he wont as long as there isnt proper alife 2.0, so yeah you are pretty much right here

[finite dragon]

Also coc as well
