[celest blaze]

I agree

It's a tough situation

[rare venture]

Finally some understanding.
We check everything before eat some content.
This is our reality)
(Checks LinkedIn for every game / publisher as the main example)

[dire dagger]

anything that would potentially feed money to Russian war machine I would heavily criticize

[celest blaze]

Fr hell now with the 51st state comments I've been going out of my way to buy Canadian haha

[celest blaze]

Keep putting up the good fight 💪 🫡

[dire dagger]

Simmer down 51st stater

[celest blaze]

Why you!!!

Haha

[dire dagger]

Lmfao

[celest blaze]

Canada has alot of Ukranian folks esp here in my area they are awesome people

[drowsy blade]

I mean at the rate America is losing to Canada, they’re more likely to be the 11th Province

[dire dagger]

What planet are you on?

[celest blaze]

@dire dagger Aye fellow Canadian

[dire dagger]

🤨

[drowsy blade]

Is a hockey joke

[dire dagger]

Oh lol

Explains why it flew over my head

Lmao

[celest blaze]

I sentence Jack to 6 months in Québec

[dire dagger]

NOOOOOOOO

[celest blaze]

[drowsy blade]

Now that’s cruel and unusual punishment

[celest blaze]

Hahaha

[dire dagger]

I was gonna say bro not since the age of nortel

[celest blaze]

@rare venture what is the mod you're playing ? I forgot to ask

[celest blaze]

[rare venture]

Currently- none of them

Last one, anomaly with ua mods

[celest blaze]

Based last one

Well the mods make it based

What games you normally play ?

[rare venture]

You can check it on my steam.
Currently it's a hades 2 and Alan wake 2 dlc

[celest blaze]

Aye nice choices

[finite dragon]

skuff

[drowsy blade]

Bro almost said Anomaly was based, close call.

[prisma anvil]

i cant unlock ahievements on steam

help please

[dire dagger]

He’d be tarred and feathered by chat if he did

[drowsy blade]

As the Gods intended.

[finite dragon]

Anomaly is based

[dire dagger]

Someone get the rotten fruit

[finite dragon]

That is, the IronWind anomaly. The one that slows down projectiles and has this weird sound effect that I can’t find in the files

[drowsy blade]

Had us in the first half

[celest blaze]

Haha had to save myself

[celest blaze]

[dusk marsh]

Has anyone had any luck finding any armor or oitfits on enemies at all? I felt like the armor is still rare prepatch

[drowsy blade]

Finding them on enemies is still rather rare (it sorta was on the old games too afaik). I have found them though.

[rigid hawk]

The landfill location has been opened. We need to talk to the Conder. I come, but he's not there. What should I do?

[granite mortar]

Old games didnt even have armor drops

[drowsy blade]

Oh they didn’t? I thought I picked up something from someone in SoC but I could’ve been wrong. Been a while.

[drifting niche]

I'm expecting big update

[drowsy blade]

I am currently softlocked on my current playthrough (I’m basically at the end)

Probably will have to download the UE Tools to fix the problem based on what I’ve seen about it

[rare venture]

This is anomaly thing.
In the og trilogy and stalker 2 - you cannot find any armor on the body

With an exception - quest bodies

[drowsy blade]

Aha, I see. That would be probably what I think of.

I’ve not played Anomaly though, so probably just found a quest body.

[granite mortar]

Wrong
Many mods had armor drops before

[rare venture]

I don't like mods, so I just remember last thing where I see it

[granite mortar]

Im not surprised you dont like mods if the last one you played was Anomaly

[rare venture]

Cause it's always a vasyanka.
I approve only technical fixes, everything else - meh

[granite mortar]

Healing Berill in Yantar (SoC) is one example of such armour

[drowsy blade]

Okay thats what I’m thinking of yes

[granite mortar]

Well popular mods tend to be dogshit in general
They get praised by people who never played another mod in their life 🤷‍♂️

[unreal raptor]

It will be big — in file size. In scope, not so much.

[drifting niche]

How do you know?

[unreal raptor]

Educated guess at this point

[shadow rivet]

Gaming market got used to these type of strategies rather than making their products even better than before via huge updates

Its no fortune telling that companies got lazy and insufferably slow on making remarkable changes and fixes

[celest blaze]

I mean stalker patches on average contain 1500-1700 fixes so I'd disagree on scope

[drowsy blade]

Content wise it probably will be very light (if it does add any content at all) but they’re fix heavy right now for obvious reasons

But no point in adding new content with the game in its current state, it will just break things more.

[gritty orchid]

im a simple man, i see qol changes and i'm happy

[unreal raptor]

to the original point — none of them really touch the scope of the game? Just amend and fix an array of issues, tbh that number should be embarrasing not a point of honor?

[dire dagger]

Well if got a portal gun to go to the reality where the game was delayed till 2026 your welcome to go there

[celest blaze]

You can thank shareholders for that

[dire dagger]

[celest blaze]

And thank Microsoft aswell

I highly doubt devs wanted to push it out the way it was atm

[unreal raptor]

I'm just living in my own alt reality where it has been delayed. I'm not wasting my time playing this mush.

[dire dagger]

Based

Only thing that will always suck is

[celest blaze]

Some people are playing certain mods 🤢

[dire dagger]

Game will always run like garbage that is unlikely to ever change

[unreal raptor]

yeah any perfomant changes will come from just having new hardware 😂

[worn oar]

[dire dagger]

Or using hw rt when they add that

[unreal raptor]

please god give HW RT or a fixed lighting update — lumen plays bad, looks bad and runs bad. 3 for 3 get it out.

[dire dagger]

Don’t look at the reflections too closely

[granite mortar]

I hate Lumen
It Lumen was a bean I would make british food out of it
Thats how much I hate Lumen

[unreal raptor]

Baked is preffered in both beans and lighting

[zinc apex]

Well there's always gamma and such, which get updated regularly to enjoy, while waiting for s2 updates

[dire dagger]

Enjoying gamma

[gritty orchid]

😂

[dire dagger]

That’s an oxymoron

[gritty orchid]

one of these days i'll be among the cool color role users

[celest blaze]

Teamlite, call of the zone, iwp, legends return, road to the north, call of chernobyl, goldsphere, escape from the zone, return to the zone, vector of alienation, the exception, valley of whispers, the messager, bad company 1, bad company 2, valley of whispers, op2, nlc 7, dream catcher, spatial anomaly and so many more are more enjoyable then gamma

[dire dagger]

Your forgetting the first 2/3 of true stalker

[celest blaze]

True haha there's so many out there it's hard to remember

[dire dagger]

Literally after the game has its fake ending

Just close the game

[celest blaze]

💀

[dire dagger]

It’s where it should have ended

[celest blaze]

Wonder why they kept going

[dire dagger]

No idea tbh

[granite mortar]

Except for that Agroprom part
That was ASS

[dire dagger]

Why I said 2/3s

After the fake ending

The game is turbo aids

I completed it just because but my god

It’s such a slog

[granite mortar]

I mean Agroprom in chapter 5 or so
Where you help the scientist with some machine
And then the zombie takes it away
There was a cutscene that had like 20 minutes
Otherwise the chapters where you play as Axe were good

[dire dagger]

Oh yah

I forgot

I literally just started skipping all the dialog

After sitting there for 30 minutes

Cus I’m like mf

IM NOT TRYING TO READ A NOVEL

GET ON WITH IT FUCKS SAKE

[celest blaze]

30 min cutscene ?? That's a damn tv episode lol

[granite mortar]

Also I kinda liked the Yantar chapter
But rest where you play as the soldier (forgot his name already) were aids

[granite mortar]

Best part
They were just standing in the factory yard in Agroprom
And some professor was yapping, then one of your team mates would ask some random crap and then the scientist would yap again

[zinc apex]

Is there any free play mod with graphics / animations on par with gamma?

[dire dagger]

There true stalker

But it’s not free play

True stalker has some pretty crazy graphics for x ray

[vale quartz]

super pissed that ak are such dogshit weapon in this game

[dire dagger]

Why just use something better

[celest blaze]

Those aren't needed

Trilogy look and feel is alot better then anomaly with a paintjob

[vale quartz]

but I like ak, wish the game had CS weapon progression. CS best stalker its peak

[celest blaze]

ONG

[dire dagger]

Clear sky

[zinc apex]

Yes, CS best title ever

[dire dagger]

Lobe clear sky

Clear sky haters will be tossed into wood chipper

[zinc apex]

Also best alife in the series

[celest blaze]

based

[zinc apex]

Like playing with alife debug tools on to see where everyone is in the zone. Very sigma peak game

[granite mortar]

Gamma looks like ass
High res AI upscaled textures on low poly 2005 models

[devout geyser]

guys did they change the name of the fora 221 to the khurad or something?

[zinc apex]

Whole graphics and animation quality in gamma is like Stalker 1.5

[dire dagger]

That’s what’s nice about true stalker

They seemed to have remade most of the models

[celest blaze]

Fr even the new SSS can't hide its age

[dire dagger]

No those are different guns

[granite mortar]

TS has absurdly high prodcution value and consistent creative direction
They put 7 years of work into it

Gamma on the other hand is bunch of garbage glued together, no creative vision or consistency whatsoever

[celest blaze]

Isn't the raptr a fallout 4 modded gun aswell? Lol

[dire dagger]

Tbh if they slightly reworked it

Would be one of the best mods of all time

[devout geyser]

oh right okay. cuz i have a 2X on one of them but in the 2x description it says it’s not compatible with the gun i have it on

either says fora and i have it on khurad or says khurad and i have it on fora

[granite mortar]

Yeah
It they didnt kill Axe
And cut the remaining chapters
It would be good

[dire dagger]

I think they wanted a certain ending but

Didn’t know how to get there

Hence the game ends like it does

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I just hope the story rewrite they are working on will be actually good
Not like Lost Alpha rewrites

Anyways
Gotta love those easter eggs
Like the ISU-152 in Garbage
Or the Boar trophy with sunglasses in that new map

[dire dagger]

Wait there actually taking the criticism constructively?

[granite mortar]

Yes

[dire dagger]

That’s a welcome surprise

I hope they succeed

[granite mortar]

Yeah
Gotta love them
I sure hope it will be good
If they leave the first few chapters unchanged
Inteoduce proper Alife (which they said is also planned)
Rework the agroprom part
And rework the final chapters
It could be really really good
Potentially on of the best mods out there

[dire dagger]

I agree

Cus it’s so close to perfect

The last 2/3s just fumbled the bag

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I really liked everything they did other than the end of the story
It left extremely sour taste in my mouth

Other than that I loved it
Nice artstyle
Gunslinger without all the trademark Gunslinger garbage
Good stability
Very good map reworks
Tons and tons of new mutants

[dire dagger]

Good graphics too

Easily the best I’ve ever seen from any x ray based stalker mod

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I take that as part of artstyle
Cuz they are very stylised
Also really good optimization
It ran surprisingly good (even on my PC) despite the great visuals

I also love some small stuff
Like helmets actually having separate models from outfits
Adding variety to both player and enemies

[dire dagger]

Yah

Honestly only real complaint was there wasn’t that many guns but

The guns we had were really fun to use

[granite mortar]

Yeah thats because of Gunslinger mainly
But I do think the amount of various upgrades kinda makes up for it
Like, theres not many guns, but those that you get will be actually yours if you know what I mean
You can personalise them a lot

[celest goblet]

Here's hoping the new version lives up to the potential then

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I believe in them tho

Also
They had Jekan make some side quests for them
How peak is that?

[celest goblet]

They definitely have talent. Potential to be eating good with trilogy mods this year still

[dire dagger]

Some mad lad is gonna make a fork of open xray with open world support and remake stalker 2

I wouldn’t be surprised at all

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I mean I wouldnt even expect a bad mod from Ap-Pro
Especially considering how long it took them
It was supposed to release in 2020 and only did by the end of 2023

[celest goblet]

Still waiting on new project too but I don't expect that to be out this year still lmao

[granite mortar]

I think IX-Ray could handle it better
Theres a mod called Another Side running on IX-Ray where 4km² is the minimal size of their maps

[dire dagger]

If they mod in direct storage

I bet it could work

[granite mortar]

Cant wait to not play it :{

[celest goblet]

😔

[dire dagger]

Stalker 2 switch port when

[gritty orchid]

maybe on switch 3 the game will be playable

[celest goblet]

I'm just glad the team noticed the mod was getting attention in the English community and added EN translation to the demo. Makes me hopeful the full mod will have one

[storm kernel]

IED

[dire dagger]

We got portal on n64

[granite mortar]

Too bad the mod requires AVX

[dire dagger]

Where is stalker 3 for switch

[dire dagger]

How is that a problem

Any cpu made in the last 13 years has avx

[granite mortar]

My CPU doesnt have it

[dire dagger]

What’s your cpu

[granite mortar]

i5 650

[dire dagger]

Well that’d do it

Not even an i7

Over

[celest goblet]

[dire dagger]

You could get a free dell optiplex from a school and that’d be better

[granite mortar]

Yeah
I would either have to not play the mod or play it on a laptop (1. Ewwww, 2. 💥)

[dire dagger]

What country do you live in

[granite mortar]

I dont really mind the performance since I only play old games and MMOs anyways
But every now and then something shows up and it needs AVX
First it was HybridXray SDK and now this

Czechia

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[dire dagger]

Fucken hell

Well uh

Idk how much things cost there do you guys use euros

Or something else

[granite mortar]

Something else
PC parts are absurdly expensive here
Ive seen someone from US complaining about price of a 4060 prebuild (it was like 600 bucks iirc)
Here it would be solid 1200 and you would have to cheap out on bunch of stuff as well

[dire dagger]

Is it just crazy taxes?

[granite mortar]

I have roughly 600 bucks saved up but that wont buy me anything really
And I dont want to sink money into old hardware that will need replacing in a year or two, since Ive been doing that for too long already

And no, taxes arent the issue
Not really sure why PC parts specifically are so expensive here

And the last cheap tech oriented shop we had was bought off and absolutely butchered
Looks like offbrand alibaba and is borderline impossible to navigate

[gritty orchid]

[dire dagger]

:/

And I’m guessing import fees

Are like a morbillion dollars

[granite mortar]

Yeah
Hopefully I will be able to make some money during summer

[gritty orchid]

same problem happens here in Brazil too, but here on top of the import taxes, theres the state/national taxes that are also crazy high, so like an old r7 5700x3d is like almost 2k R$ (which is around 400$)

[dire dagger]

Yah I’ve heard Brazil has like a 2x import tax

In any tech for some reason

Where they want double the price of what ever the item is in taxes

[gritty orchid]

yeah

[dire dagger]

What’s the deal with that anyways?

[gritty orchid]

no clue tbh

[dire dagger]

Like current USA import taxes are like 10 percent and are to encourage domestic production

[gritty orchid]

appart from the "greedy" government, i reckong these taxes are just an easy way to pay for the country's external debt. (it was always like that, but in the last few years its like, worse)

[dire dagger]

But with all due respect I don’t think Brazil really has any domestic semi conductor production capabilities

[gritty orchid]

yeah, we depend heavily on other countries, specially china

[dire dagger]

It’s Singapore China Taiwan and Ireland

And Korea

[storm kernel]

pretty much the whole world relies on Taiwan for semiconductors (because America was too stupid to set up their own fabs)

[dire dagger]

Those are where all the big players set up shop

[dire dagger]

We have many many many fabs

But none capable of making a product on par with Taiwan

[storm kernel]

none of them even remotely compare to TSMC in Taiwan

[dire dagger]

I’d know better than anyone believe me

Intel is using Stone Age technology to try and make flagship processors nodes

[storm kernel]

I did hear that TSMC wants to open a fab in Arizona, but that could take years (if the plans don't fall through)

[dire dagger]

I built said machines for my ex employer

[dire dagger]

It’s already built

They just need to fill it with machines

You can see it on google maps actually the construction site

One sec

This was 2 years ago mind you

Was very annoying to find because it’s not actually labeled on google maps

[granite mortar]

:/
Dumbass factory for dumbass semiconductors in my dumbass country was cancelled for dumbass reasons
No domestic semiconductors :///

[dire dagger]

Who was gonna open it?

[granite mortar]

I forgot
But I think it was some Taiwanese company

[dire dagger]

Tsmc

That’s a shame

My favorite fab company is a Chinese company called

GALAXYCORE

Badass fucken name

[storm kernel]

I'll be waiting until it actually starts producing chips before I start hoping tbh

[dire dagger]

Intels building a super fab

Though I’m not sure why

[celest goblet]

They hate money right now

[storm kernel]

we'll wait and see, maybe this will be something to look forward to...

[granite mortar]

Yeah
For the first time in like 30 years something useful would be made here, having good impact on domestic economy but no...
Theres nothing left
Everything was bought off
Car manufacturers were bought off
Military tech manufacturers cant get any contracts either

[dire dagger]

Well you haven’t been gutted by the Chinese yet

By that I mean China offers your government a massive lone you can’t pay off

Then when they default on it

The Chinese basically cease control unofficially of the entire country

They basically own you after that

[granite mortar]

We were gutted by Germans and Japanese
Thats bad enough already
Last bit of local industry thats still holding is ČZ, the gun manufacturer
They are doing quite well actually
But other than that... Pretty much nobody

[dire dagger]

Well that’s not the worst possible outcome Chinese would do much worse

You guys would end up like Pakistan

[storm kernel]

whats wrong with Pakistan?

[granite mortar]

Just about everything

[dire dagger]

The Chinese fucked them over by giving them impossible loans

So when they defaulted it basically destroyed the economy

And now there basically chinas bitch

[storm kernel]

oh damn

[dire dagger]

So that’s what I mean when it can get worse

[granite mortar]

Our previous president tried to strenghten our ties with china
Horrible thought

[sand oar]

Bruh

[dire dagger]

China will poison your country if you let them

[finite dragon]

||you have been spoiled||

Guys I have received TOP secret information

the roadmap will release sometime after today

[dire dagger]

Idk if you guys any rare earth metals

Or just materials in general like neon gas for example but that’d be what they’d be after

[sand oar]

Cracker jack is a name i havent seen in like a year

[granite mortar]

Yeah
Thankfully hes not in power anymore
And our current president as well as the government are strongly pro western
Altho I still fear the next elections

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/likeabadpenny-indiana-jones-harrison-ford-indy-last-crusade-gif-26494183

[sand oar]

Funny, i downloaded discord for the first time in a year cuz i was busy with life now im back for no apparent reason

[dire dagger]

Like I’m not really familiar enough with what’s in your country to tell yah what your options might be but I’m sure there’s something if effort is put behind it

[dire dagger]

Much has changed

Game came out

[sand oar]

Indeed

[dire dagger]

To mixed reception

Initially positive but general perception is starting to shift

[sand oar]

Ive been playing it its very fun imo

[dire dagger]

Game is just raw

Simple as

[sand oar]

I love the raw feeling lol

[dire dagger]

Nah…..

It’s not raw in a good way

[sand oar]

Idk i like it, if it gets better thats a plus all the way around

[dire dagger]

It’s just undercooked

[sand oar]

So let em cook more

Ez fix guys microwave it

[dire dagger]

If only

But game should have come out in 2026

[sand oar]

Ye would have been better

[finite dragon]

game is literally fine

haters. entitled.

[dire dagger]

Just fine though

[celest goblet]

Could be much better, and will be with time

[granite mortar]

I finally figured out why Sid looks so weird to me in S2
its his face, its not fat enough
Original Sid had egg shaped face, the new one doesnt

[magic arch]

i want to know who made the ui for chest tiny

he needs to be fired ASAP

[hazy jewel]

There main priority should be adding ray tracing imo

[dire dagger]

Least of there concerns tbh

[hazy jewel]

What would be more concerning?

[dire dagger]

Fixing the bugs

[hazy jewel]

Most studios have different teams

[dire dagger]

Not To mention it would only help a small handful of people run the game better

[hazy jewel]

Everyone on 2000 series and up so at least 50%

[dire dagger]

30 series and up

20 series hw rt is dog

I’d argue barely even functional

[magic arch]

the game is still on oven and we have crazy people out here wanting raytracing. this is why triple a industry aint workin

[hazy jewel]

How isn’t the game working ? Other then a few minor bugs the game is perfect

[drowsy blade]

My game is currently softlocked due to an NPC not moving (at the end of the game). So it still definitely has some major issues.

That said I am overall enjoying the game and it’s in a better place now.

[hazy jewel]

When did you start your save ?

[drowsy blade]

This save was from this patch. But I started the playthrough before 1.2

But I’m not the only one having the issue

I’ve finished the game once already, I’m going through and doing the other choices now

[hazy jewel]

I’ve killed multiple npcs and bases with almost no problems

[drowsy blade]

Well I can’t kill him because he’s an important character to the story

He has to move for me to continue the quest, otherwise the path does not show up

[gritty orchid]

this person is just a ray tracing glazer (as you can see in their previous messages), just ignore

[hazy jewel]

Clearly not since other people asked the question aswell

[drowsy blade]

I’m just gonna download the UETools when I get home from work to get past it, apparently that’s currently the only way to fix the bug right now

[storm kernel]

UETools my beloved ❤️

[silver warren]

Laughable take

[storm kernel]

real

[hazy jewel]

I haven’t ran into any bugs just because you have doesn’t mean everyone has

[night crest]

most people ran into bugs, the game is very buggy and the game was outright unplayable for a large ammount of people when it came out 🗣️

[unreal raptor]

game is 60% ready for public

maybe 70%, if I'm being kind 😂

[night crest]

half of the game content is in the first three zones 🗣️

[unreal raptor]

and even that half is missing some core gameplay stuff

[hazy helm]

gameplay? I only know NVGs and Binocs as the only missing feautures from a gameplay category

[unreal raptor]

i'd say A-Life is a huge gameplay element too — without it the whole game feels abstract to me

[dire dagger]

That’s world building

Not gameplay

Not saying it’s not important but

[celest goblet]

Feels abstract? What does that even mean

Is the lack of A-Life replacing the palace of culture with an obscure arrangement of shapes or something

[storm kernel]

another day, another goofy ahh kid yapping about a life 💀

[zinc apex]

where you hide it?

[storm kernel]

I ate it

[finite dragon]

cope i run psycho rtx on 2080super on cyberpunk 70fps

[hazy helm]

A-Life is a AI thing, because when people talk about AI its always the offline A-Life system which is not in direct correlation to gameplay AI

[torpid bay]

Hmmh didnt they fix stuff spawning behind you?

[urban basin]

People really do be following npcs waiting for them to do something (?)

[urban basin]

I read that is back with the 1.2 version

[torpid bay]

Since something kinda stupid happened to me

[celest goblet]

Lots of two steps forward one step back with the a life stuff this patch

[storm kernel]

I think they did

[torpid bay]

Ship completely empty, made a 360 and suddenly there was squad fighting on the ship lol

[urban basin]

They did then 1.2 brought it back for some reason

[torpid bay]

I mean atleast its not dogs anymore but so guess thats good

But still kinda stupid to have full blown fights spawn 15m behind you randomly

Or who knows maybe its just my save being borked since its from launch day

Thought it was funny how in other place half of the squad spawned on top of building and just walked off raining me with loot

[dire dagger]

With dlss sure lol

I had a 2080 ti and used it to play metro exodus with rt back in the day

Ran like crap

Even at 100 percent gpu use

[storm kernel]

man I have to play the Metro games

I played through a bit of 2033 and just kinda dropped it for no good reason. I really wanna see if my rig can run the Enhanced version of Exodus with maxxed out settings

[dull token]

Stalker 2 is still to this day one of the best games I've ever played. Sure it has bugs but any game ever has bugs.

Probably going to cancel my Xbox game pass tho. Glad to have played the game for free. Definitely worth $60

[dire dagger]

Mate needs to take his rose tinted shades off brother it’s a 7.5 7.8/10 as is

[worn oar]

[tawny flume]

They still use the spawn bubble

[storm kernel]

real

[storm kernel]

"rose tinted shade" my brother in Christ the game came out four months ago 💀

[dire dagger]

Yah and

Would you rather I said bro needs to remove his clout goggles it’s not that good yet

[tawny flume]

I think weapon deterioration should be based on difficulty idk

[dire dagger]

Pretty sure it is

[tawny flume]

nope it isn’t rn it’s same for all difficulty’s I think

[dire dagger]

Oh rip

Think repair cost is

Something is

lol

[feral totem]

Does anyone know if they gonna release the roadmap this year?

[tawny flume]

I don’t think enemy accuracy is based on difficulty like it was in older games if I remember I forgot

[dire dagger]

This year I’m sure when this year now that idk

[tawny flume]

Either be before or after the next patch

[celest goblet]

It will be Soon(TM)

[zinc apex]

KCD2 will have its first DLC out before we got a roadmap

[tawny flume]

Roadmaps are kinda iffy when they are put out means people are gonna expect them to commit to whatever it is on it

If it’s something they can’t commit to people gonna be upset why it taking so long

[torpid bay]

So... Dont put stuff you cant commit on it...?

[feral totem]

But it’s not a good look when you promised it last December and still yet to deliver it

[celest goblet]

Better to wait until they make something they can commit to

[zinc apex]

Whole situation is not a good look. They promised mod support for launch = not delivered, alife = not delivered, road map = not delivered, communication about everything =barely delivered

We literally got more information about updates and stuff in random reddit comments by GSC then in their official discord. Why?

[torpid bay]

Wait, really?

[dire dagger]

I don’t think mod support was promised for launch

I don’t remember that

[urban basin]

Same
They need to show proof

[zinc apex]

Its still on their website FAQ

[dire dagger]

As for why the Reddit this might have something to do with it

[zinc apex]

Also not stated that it's a post release thing like the multiplayer anywhere. Not even on steam. Misleading ah

[granite mortar]

Yeah but come on
Why have #📜┃ask-gsc when you answer more questions on reddit than in the dedicated channel

[torpid bay]

"So we will ensure that modders will have opportunities to create mods right after the game's release, and we will enhance this feature later." ?

[zinc apex]

Yea but why in random comments and even official posts?

[feral totem]

Exactly. They can just do ama at Reddit

[zinc apex]

"Right after" is like two weeks not four months

[torpid bay]

I mean you are able to create mods and use mods

[dire dagger]

Also faq doesn’t say that

It’s more vague

Does not say it will be there for launch

[zinc apex]

It says right after. Now we're full 4 months in

[dire dagger]

Technically it’s already here

People are already making content mods for the game

There’s at least 10 mods on the nexus right now that add new content into the game

[torpid bay]

And that game does accept mods folder means mod support is there just dont have official tools which will fall under "enhanced features"

[unreal raptor]

All the answers with no substance. 😂

[zinc apex]

tbf they could've encrypted the whole thing and made it impossible to mod anything. so it's technically able to get modded

[zinc apex]

diplomatic answers. many words, no content

[dire dagger]

I mean idk what you want me to say

I’m not a gsc employee

[torpid bay]

That you cant sue them for false advertisement over this

[dire dagger]

If you want to start a very expensive international lawsuit go for it

[zinc apex]

don't be to sure about that. this whole alife mentioning deletion thing on steam isn't probably completely legal while taking preorders

[unreal raptor]

Mod support is just Marketing terms guys.

[dire dagger]

Doesn’t change what I said at all

[zinc apex]

but it's like Jack says. Who the hell should go into a lawuit for this lol

[dire dagger]

Someone’s already tried suing

[torpid bay]

Muricans who love them?

[dire dagger]

It happened in the first week

[unreal raptor]

Alife 0.2

[dire dagger]

Far as I’m aware it never even got off the ground

[torpid bay]

Please.. My 5800X suffers enough already

[urban basin]

Alife in minecraft when

[zinc apex]

it already in. npc dont despawn

[dire dagger]

They do though

[silver warren]

If A-Life isn't fixed by six months after release... Idk if I'll keep playing

[dire dagger]

Well it’s been 3 so come back in June

Or may

[torpid bay]

Give it good old cyberpunk treatment

[silver warren]

Yep

[unreal raptor]

Any ai would be an improvement over the these factionless shooting targets, with no impact in the game world whatsoever

[latent kite]

No lawsuit will ever go past processing because of the loopholes and legal definitions

[sand fiber]

syrlllkt strlkerrrr

[urban basin]

3 already? Damn lol

[dire dagger]

True people tried this on fallout 76

And I’m pretty sure it got thrown out

[silver warren]

I was hoping it was going to be getting the good ol cyberpunk treatment, but it's seeming less and less like that

[unreal raptor]

Three months and all we have is minor stability improvements and some progression lock fixes from what I see.

[dire dagger]

New controller attack

Come on now don’t forget about that

[sand fiber]

stalker!

[latent kite]

No fishing

[dire dagger]

True no fishing

[torpid bay]

I mean it took years for cyberpunk to turn into good game

[unreal raptor]

Hahaha correct.

[latent kite]

Cyberpunk was always a good game it was just plagued with bugs

[dire dagger]

New controller attack is cool though

I liked that change

[torpid bay]

THey could have kept bunnyhopping...

[silver warren]

But the changes and fixes were much more drastic and quicker. Also we had a roadmap like a month after launch. Cyberpunk also was more gooder by this point

[sand fiber]

2.0 movement is better

[latent kite]

Cyberpunk also had significantly higher budget

[torpid bay]

Nah it was blast to hop faster then any car around the city

[ember summit]

And more staff to work on the game.

[dire dagger]

They should have donated me 50k dollars of the budget

Because I do such a good job

[silver warren]

I miss being a lightning bunny

[dire dagger]

[sand fiber]

you can still do dat just without the bunny hops

[torpid bay]

Its not the same ._.

[dire dagger]

And no ongoing war

That too

[latent kite]

Tbh I'd probably say cyberpunk was far more ambitious though

A lot more going on

[silver warren]

I also abused tf out of the kiosk glitch after I beat the story, then even after all the updates I still had all the caasshhh

[dire dagger]

Well guys just come back in 8 years for stalker 3

[torpid bay]

Dying to a car thats coming at you while you hop at mach 2 and get squashed like mosquite on windshield

[dire dagger]

We’ll get em next time

[tawny flume]

Add bicycle in s2

[dire dagger]

I need a Toyota Supra in stalker 2

[latent kite]

Stalkerpunk when

[dire dagger]

Vroom vroom

[torpid bay]

No.

[dire dagger]

Your right I’m not a Supra fan

You got me

[ember summit]

Needs to have the 2JZ engine though.

[drowsy blade]

Drivable Zaporozhets

[sand fiber]

they should trap grigorovich's soul in stalker 3 and torture it across a thousand of computers

[torpid bay]

Should just add pogo stick

[dire dagger]

That’s kinda mean

[sand fiber]

a fitting punishment!

[dire dagger]

[tawny flume]

Don’t like the newer ones I’ll always like the 90s one

[dire dagger]

Well yah

Cus that one’s a Toyota

The new one is a reskinned bmw

BORINGGGGGGG

[ember summit]

The 2JZ engine in the older models is a masterpiece of engineering.

[dire dagger]

Sure but I want a rotary engine

[ember summit]

Mazda

[dire dagger]

It go brap brap brap brap

And I like that

[ember summit]

I like Honda V-Tech also, they rip.

[dire dagger]

Honda f20c is a marvel of engineering

[ember summit]

S2000 enjoyer

[dire dagger]

Well yah

It revs to 9000 rpm with a 6 speed manual and rear wheel drive

If you don’t like it someone must have dropped you as a child or something

[ember summit]

Haha

[dire dagger]

Though If you’ve seen the hard top prices it’s understandable

Ever wanted to pay 10 to 15k dollars for a piece of fiber glass

WELL NOW YOU CAN

[ember summit]

Haha aye it’s absurd man, it’s only gonna get more expensive as time goes on as well.

[dire dagger]

I got a 1995 Miata atm and a Subaru

Both in 5 speed manual

May sell the Miata thought I want a fc3s rx7

[ember summit]

Nice, nice, kinda scooby you got?

[dire dagger]

It’s a 2014 na Impreza

[ember summit]

[dire dagger]

Impreza sport so it’s also lowered

Which is nice

[ember summit]

I really like the newer WRX STi’s man, they just look evil asf.

[dire dagger]

Best one is hawk eye

[tawny flume]

Is the wrx in the game

[dire dagger]

Yah it is

[tawny flume]

Got it confused for the gun lol

[tawny flume]

I was thinking about the SIG MCX-Spear

[dire dagger]

Car is in the game

[tawny flume]

If it was in the game lol

I have an 07 wagon

[spiral stump]

I saw one in Kyiv, aren't wagon ones kinda rare?

[silver warren]

Here in the states yeah, specifically GD chassis.

Unfortunately mines not a WRX but an OBS special edition. Since it's slow and I live inna woods it's lifted 3.5" with big off road tires

I used to have a bugeye WRX and an '86 RX-T, which was one of the funnest cars I've ever owned.

[spiral stump]

The main thing is to have Impreza itself I think

Even if it's slow

It's good

Used to be 50 now it's 20

[silver warren]

I might be selling it because life is crazy right now. If I don't I'm going to replace the crazy loud exhaust on it and potentially wrap it

[spiral stump]

20 bucks?

YAR

[celest blaze]

Scammers running out of money

Broke mfs

[spiral stump]

Thinking about buying something else?

[silver warren]

No just need money. I've got an 07 legacy wagon too that I was going to sell, but someone did a hit n run and smashed in the quarter panel last week while it was parked

I blame consoles for a-life being borked, would have probably melted a few of them if they didn’t try to dumb it down for them.

[dire dagger]

Is a shame in a way but Microsoft deal probably made that a must

[ember summit]

Fr fr, and I’m not hating on consoles or that, it should have been handled better but is what it is breh.

[dire dagger]

We got a game at all

Could have gotten nothing

Just gotta wait and pray

[ember summit]

For sure man, we are lucky we even got s2 release what with everything that was and is still going on over there, eternally grateful to GSC that we got another from the franchise since it’s my favourite games ever made.

[dire dagger]

I just keep waiting

[celest goblet]

Yeah this game clawed its way out of the grave and refused to get kicked back down

[static compass]

Ong

The company went through a shutdown, a pandemic and a war and still managed to put a game out

That's super based

[celest goblet]

Takes a lot of grit considering games this big are hard enough to make even under pleasant circumstances

[static compass]

Indeed

[fiery vault]

Going on where

[static compass]

In Ukraine

[fiery vault]

Aint they in Prague

[static compass]

Some of them

Others are still in Kyiv

[dire dagger]

can't forget that a lot of dialog and mocap had to be entirely redone

after the war started

[static compass]

And some actors recast

[dire dagger]

thats what i meant

[static compass]

Yee

A lot of factors were against them

But they were too based and made the game happen anyway

[ember summit]

And still had a somewhat better release than Cyberbug 2077, not hating on that either though but damn that shiz was a mess on launch.

[quiet mountain]

how game now

[dire dagger]

better than it was but

still pretty raw

[quiet mountain]

Ahh, that's mostly what I didn't like, felt empty

[dire dagger]

its empty past half way point i guess

since thats where all the content got cut

[static compass]

Outside the Zone DLC when?

[gritty quarry]

Or coop because I don’t want to go to the dark places first)

[dire dagger]

there will never go co op

it will only be a mod

[empty echo]

sad but makes sense, doing co-op story missions would be a lot of work and hard to implement to make sense in the story

[full moss]

I wonder why mutant name Fracture is not in the game

[celest blaze]

Prob didn't make sense to add it tbh

[native ibex]

My world has run out of condensed milk. Skif has no easy access to diabetes anymore

[patent mortar]

Wrong chat sir.

[neon pendant]

Shit, sorry. Is the gameplay advice channel the right place?

[patent mortar]

Gameplay advice channel is more of discussing game mechanic rather than how the story goes.

[dire dagger]

you need to add red circles and arrows for the zoomers

[patent mortar]

oh right, I didnt save the pic that Tejas usually send lmao

[neon pendant]

Lmao, my blind ass. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

You can get the basic no helmet armor, the Seva, the helmet body armor, their scientists armor even, but no exos.

Instructions unclear, Skif's pistol now stuck in ass

[sly matrix]

nah, you got it right

Actually I’m gonna rethink what I just said, that would get me in trouble probably

[night crest]

all of them were tbh

[golden vector]

is there no way to properly keep the "PARTNER"?

already cancelled the quest but its still a quest item so kind of pointless to try keep?

[fair jackal]

can't you just talk to the guy, not the one that wants it, and say it's not gonna work?

[golden vector]

i did, now its cancelled but still a quest item

if i talk to the guy that needs the gun with it in my inv he doesnt care anymore

[fair jackal]

idk then, seems a little odd to not let you but also maybe not because maybe those people wouldn't be too keen on you stealing from any of them.

[golden vector]

i suppose

i also realised hamster and the guard died somehow 🤣

[fair jackal]

there was a bug where they did that, just flopping over dead. it was supposed to have been fixed though back in like December or something 🤔

[golden vector]

ig it wasnt

[north violet]

I thought you weren't allowed to do that anymore?

Marine corps eat crayons, this is too much of a high regard for the gamma players.

Gamma players probably eat markers or something

[rugged edge]

Is it bad, I just installed Gamma because I needed to satisfy my gun fetish

[unreal raptor]

It’s much better than the current state of stalker 2 imo 😂

Not sure why there is such vitriol for a free mod that gives this series a big publicity boost, especially in recent years.

But hey. Each to their own. Some like buggy, vapid, open worlds that deliver on 50% of their promises too!

[celest portal]

I mean, I still play gamma, it's just funny to gatekeep

[dire dagger]

Hard to be better than stalker 2 when your barely a game

[unreal raptor]

I haven't really played the new update, but it's fine.

Only lobotomites play gamma smh

[drowsy blade]

Daily Gamma hatred session!!

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[granite mortar]

Its poorly glued together mashup of random addons none of which adds anything essential to improved gameplay, its also far removed from what makes stalker the series it is

[rugged edge]

okay but is there a bunch of guns and attachments

[golden vector]

just found out you can mass murder everyone at the chem plant with 0 consequences 🤣

[granite mortar]

Yeah
Bunch of duplicate guns that look more out of place than anomalies would in our world

[delicate vector]

does cheat engine work to modify money i wonder?

[dire dagger]

Yah so does phantom forces on Roblox

[rugged edge]

shit you right, but that's a really long grind and I don't have the money for VBUCKS

Also the devs all got outed as pedos so

Probably shouldn’t give them any money

[granite mortar]

Just play New Arsenal 7 mod for SoC

[rugged edge]

oh, yeah. that sucks

It's more so that people act like Gamma is a real Stalker game

Dude I’ll be famous

What’s up guys it’s me jack plays

[upper tree]

I guess we can't be annoyed by the lack of estimates for the most requested updates/features when the game itself was delayed as many times as it was. Still it would be reasonable to at least share the projected quarter they're targeting for certain things and if it gets delayed so be it

[upper tree]

I wish i had waited until it hit 1.0

Who's worse about timelines and estimates, GSC or BI?

[dire dagger]

Yandera dev

[celest goblet]

Valve, they were so bad they learned to simply never give them again

[drowsy blade]

Ask a Valve dev when HL3 is coming and they will just laugh in your face

[granite mortar]

responding to fan mails is soooooooo time consuming but also SOOOOOO important

[dire dagger]

Then he got outed as a pedo so it’s never getting finished now

[granite mortar]

womp womp

[lime hatch]

Anyone else has this issue where if you reload the game (or maybe even just saves?), your artefacts stop working. This fixes itself if you un- and then re-equip them, but that's not exactly ideal

First noticed this while I had two thunderberries equipped and my stamina was regenerating at the default rate, I suspect this is also the case for all other artifacts

[storm kernel]

they eat tide pods

[native ibex]

I play Anomaly and have played GAMMA

I can assure you, if the north were as dangerous as GAMMA seems to portray, no one would be there.

So yeah, Grok lost his marbles.

Fire Chimeras

Invisible chimeras tho...

[dim topaz]

Stalker 2 electric boogaloo

[native ibex]

@granite mortar can't tell if serious or not

[granite mortar]

Im serious about both fire chimeras being dumb and invisible chimeras being awesome

Unless he meant chimeras that breathe fire at the player
In which case fire chimeras are also awesome

[drowsy blade]

Yes

[gritty orchid]

what about chimeras with multiple powers? one for each head

[tiny token]

meow

[lime yew]

I'm really hoping GSC adds more free content to the game. Side quest, guns, more artifacts

[stiff pasture]

Give me a Scorpion EVO

[gritty orchid]

i want more aks and nato weapons 😭

or more attachments, for more diversity

[fallow garden]

Fix the performance 🙏🏻

[gritty orchid]

specially for non "nato weapons"

[gritty orchid]

game runs fine, wdym

[fallow garden]

Sometimes

[pseudo moat]

i thought Anomaly was fine, even as someone who had it as their first Stalker related experience. although I gotta say i absolutely positively love getting my ass handed to me in a rose gold platter by the 3 boars you're supposed to hunt using a makarov and 3 bullets that also have a head resistance mechanic that you're never told about in the start of a game 🥲

needless to say, im glad Stalker 2's tutorial doesnt do the equivalent of throwing you down a river as your first swimming lesson. but i'll also have to admit i should've taken Anomaly's "Prior Experience Recommended" warning seriously

[drowsy blade]

No spoilers but:

[magic arch]

I hope throughout the patches they give better lighting like in trailers (wishful thinking ik). Because the lighting we got for the game is bland and all grey

Also is there a way to completely disable dlss without getting very rough edges (like how old games looks always crisp and clear without AI slop)?

[gritty orchid]

nope, unreal engine wasnt really made to work without AA solutions, unless you play on a very high resolution to "mitigate" the rough edges

your best bet is to play with native aa scaling, this is the closest you get from a clearer picture tbh

[magic arch]

Man...... Fk nvidia with ai slop

[gritty orchid]

not only nvidia, but yeah.. haha i despise these shit too

[strange sparrow]

can someone give me money to maintain order in the garbage pls pretty plsssss 🥺

[magic arch]

Either that or have to pull up reshade again

i hate doody

[strange sparrow]

bandits are my favorite because they have funny voicelines and groovy music

[dire dagger]

Bro doesn’t speak English

[celest portal]

real

[strange sparrow]

it's canonical, or canon

cannon is a big tube that goes boom

one n can make the difference

[dire dagger]

[strange sparrow]

i may be bandit, but i am not braindead

[celest portal]

other meaning of cannon is something that is offically part of a storyline/info of a game, movie etc.

[dire dagger]

He’s saying with one n is different then two

[strange sparrow]

that's "canon"

cannon is weapon

[celest portal]

Canon is the camera company

one n

even a bandit could beat you in a spelling bee

[dire dagger]

Yah cus I’m not trying to compete or win

[strange sparrow]

I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM ❤️ 😡

[dire dagger]

But I plugged it into urban dictionary and found a reference using the n word on page 2

Epic

[celest portal]

who is this guy, someone get the bug spray

[dire dagger]

But sure you got me the slang term uses one n

But since it’s not technically a word who even cares

[strange sparrow]

🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸 🇷🇸

[strange sparrow]

what if instead of russian or ukrainian all bandits spoke romanian instead, i think that would make sense

[dire dagger]

Average balkin citizen

[strange sparrow]

balkan rage

what if goku super serb 🤔

[orchid gale]

Nah

Omg

[late umbra]

anyone know of any working mods that make the ragdolls collide with each other

[sly matrix]

that's... oddly specific

[thick zodiac]

any mods to flirt with the cutie from Malachite?

[dim topaz]

Ozersky?

[thick zodiac]

patch when?

[sly matrix]

well in that sense, no. But I'd think there would be more serious issues to mod out

[late umbra]

i mean it’s kind of annoying to loot 3 bodies that have all phased through each other. looks bad too

[sly matrix]

true, but you can pick corpses up in case it get too bad

[late umbra]

yeah, just an odd thing to not implement

[sly matrix]

I'm guessing it takes more effort to implement than we might think, while there's still more pressing matters to put hours into.

[thick zodiac]

I mean as a developer i say it not hard

if body collide => don't:
  pass

[sly matrix]

ah, programming is your passion I see^^

[shadow rivet]

Serbs are just angry drunkards. He must be bosnian instead

[zinc apex]

Let's play a game GSC.... 😈

You release a-life and you win. That's all

[sly viper]

impossible to win

[empty gorge]

if only

[thick zodiac]

I mean what do you really want from NPCs? that they get their own life, find wife, have children build a house send them to school?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[nimble cipher]

cuh123 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[empty gorge]

ay ay! they already dont despawn when they de-render! give the team some praise

how did you find out about the memory?

[hazy helm]

return MakeItWork();
}```

GSC, Hire me, I only take 10k a month and work from home

[crystal merlin]

Is it true that Monster hunter Wild is even more broken and run even worse compared to stalker 2?
Dont ban me please 🥺🥺🥺

[hazy helm]

I dont know I dont play MHW
why dont you ask in their server

[sly viper]

i want em all to "Oruzhie ubral" when i talk to them with my gun up no exceptions

i want em to protect me when human NPCs get aggroed on a safe area or friendlies nearby or when they get hit themselves from said enemy

i want pure chaos theory of interactions and events...i wish for the event bubble to dissapear!!!

even if we miss an event there should be bodies to tell the story or the distand sounds

[thick zodiac]

you guys have all big dreams, the thing I want so far is that after I have cleared a camp that all the enemies would not respawn immediately as I when I am still there and I have to clear it again

[empty gorge]

ahh gotcha, also @thick zodiac you on pc?

[urban basin]

And it looks waaaaaay worse than stalker 2 in low settings

[crystal merlin]

So I wonder, how do people play the game using gears that give little to no psi protection?
Unlike bullets and anomalies damage, there's not a single artifact that can give you psi protect.
And tbh, the effects, the damage and the illusions scare the crap outta me.

[dire dagger]

Stalker 2 deez nuts

[urban basin]

No armor run to become one with the zone

[dire dagger]

The grenades only build

[urban basin]

[crystal merlin]

How?

[dire dagger]

Because any bullet would instantly kill you

So only way to kill anything would be grenades

[drifting niche]

Patch tomorrow

[crystal merlin]

How do you know?
Are you a wizard????

[dire dagger]

Let me consult to crystal ball

https://tenor.com/view/toy-story-woody-taking-chance-8ball-billiard-gif-9807107

Man that’s something I forgot existed

Who actually remembers magic 8 balls

[sly matrix]

Crystal balls 🔮 🔮 say: ''Nope"

[sly viper]

all i mentioned are more or less happening in the original trilogy

pardon my ignorance but i find it incomprehensible to accept they cannot get equal or better A-life than the so aged games.

[storm kernel]

just to be a contrarian, it's probably much harder to implement A-life in a massive open world like S2 compared to the individual zones separated by loading screens in the OT

[sly matrix]

how dare you speak the exact truth

[dire dagger]

I’m banning this guy he’s saying stuff I don’t wanna hear

[zinc apex]

So? We didn't choose to make the game in that open world, it was their decision

[gritty orchid]

tbh psi protection is only really needed on late game stages, but if you have enough magic vodka or psi blockers you're fine

[storm kernel]

And it's your decision to buy the game and support what you see as ""lazy"" development 💀

GSC did good by actually trying something different instead of staying in their comfort zone

[unreal raptor]

wouldn't say openworld is anything different in the current gen of open world slop!

[sly viper]

the hardware time gap is very big to justify that.
open world games are a daily occurrence nowadays and not a triple A dev adventure to experiment

at the very least if the bottle neck was the HUGE map, they would have to have a massive event bubble that would keep the illusion on and hard to prove that even such thing exist to the naked eye

[fallow garden]

Imagine S2 released like KCD2

[unreal raptor]

everytime a squad spawns in right next to me — i really have to fight the urge to quit the game right there. So terrible. Just the sudden WW3 scenario happening 10ft from me.

[unreal raptor]

A world I want to live in.

[sly viper]

white eyes for you

[gritty orchid]

amd cooked with the Rx 9070

[empty gorge]

we talking about b life here? lets gowww

[unreal raptor]

this game doesn't even look good on high settings — I have no idea what is eating my PC (jokes Unreal 5)

[storm kernel]

at the very least if the bottle neck was the HUGE map, they would have to have a massive event bubble that would keep the illusion on and hard to prove that even such thing exist to the naked eye

True, that might have even been their intention but they have to put this game on the Xbox Series S as well (basically an 8th generation console, trying to have a 9th generation game squeezed into it)

[sly viper]

butchering your long standing customer base to grab last gen console is like asking for a wish from the wish granter

it will happen, but not in the way you hope

[crystal merlin]

How or where do I even buy those from?

[storm kernel]

they needed to do it if they wanted to release on Xbox, the game needs feature parity with Series X version for that

It's such a stupid rule, the ONLY game I think was allowed a concession was Baldur's Gate 3 restricting split-screen to the Series X version

[thick zodiac]

I have accepted already that this is a different game, with different developers.
I don't want to gashlight you, I do want more from the game that it can offer me, but oh well

[gritty orchid]

You can buy PSI blockers on medic traders, the magic vodka you get during the main history missions

[sly viper]

different devs, same shoe size they need to fill
trilogy remaster merge can save old fans

[sly viper]

i feel like playing slavic roulette just hanging even here in #⭐┃nospoilers_general

[thick zodiac]

same I caught a couple of spoilers there

[dim topaz]

That's not even being a contratian that's just facts. But they did say alife 2.0 so it's still their fault that we're upset

[sly matrix]

yeah, we do our best to keep it to a minimum. But it can happen real fast...

[sly viper]

they need to change the spoiler channel name to spoiler general stalker. maybe this will help more with ppl having questions

[latent kite]

What a lame take

[unreal raptor]

Yup — and even if they didn't explicitly promise it. You would expect a game that released 15 or so years later would have improved over one of it's key and most memorable features that fans loved?

[dim topaz]

Nah he's right. They knew the challenges

[sly viper]

most memorable?

Oruzhie ubral

[storm kernel]

those 15 years or so weren't even spent all on development. The game was first cancelled then development was rebooted in like 2018

[dim topaz]

Pacalne something yob tvu maty

[unreal raptor]

Ha i know this — but still what I'm saying is the expectation of devlopement not stagnation?!

[sly viper]

mixed localization is what i miss after A-life

[dim topaz]

I loved the half scuffed english and half slavic

[sly viper]

how can you skip such iconic athmosphere from bilungal game

[storm kernel]

the game still has the iconic atmosphere

[dim topaz]

Strider in Mickey mouse's voice:
"And I don't give a rats ass whos working for who"

[unreal raptor]

And — that's it. It's a step back and there is no denying it.

[storm kernel]

nah the gameplay is pretty phenomenal

[unreal raptor]

come on — what part of the gameplay would you honestly describe as phenomenal?
