my cpu sucks too actually, it's a 3600

[tepid river]

honestly if you can live with it its better than spending thousands on hardware in the current state of the market

[sand fiber]

i'd prefer a 5600 but like, cpus kinda stalled for the last couple of years

[tepid river]

yeah and games arent using them properly either which is absolutely shocking considering the PS5 hardware

UE5 moment

[sand fiber]

I HAAAATE UE5

[celest blaze]

Ue5 an opp

[tepid river]

fr just give us ue6 already

[ebon silo]

WEEEE HAAATE UEEEE5 REEEEE

[celest blaze]

Arma 3 engine goes hard but it's kinda cpu heavy

[sand fiber]

fuсking kcd2 made with 2 packs of beer and the will of god is optimized 10 times better than any ue5 game!!!

cdpr games work on any somewhat modern gpu basically and they are on a in-house engine!!

[tepid river]

Well kcd2 graphics arent as impressive but yeah at least its stable

[ebon silo]

I have unironically begun to feel that this timeline might be it for my gaming days. Maybe getting too old or whatever. Games and gaming just doesn't feel like it used to.

[tepid river]

I have high expectations for doom dark ages because doom

[sand fiber]

aren't as impressive my ass, UE5 graphics look like "This will be videogames in 2013" memes

[tepid river]

Gaming is all I have as a hobby and thats not going to change lol

[blazing pollen]

engine is good but devs 🙂 doing 1200 thing in same time and one shit cover another and new one comes in thats is happening when they not build own asets thats all for Engine!

i've gotten the motorcycle bug. Going to be buying a ducati v2 in a month

[sand fiber]

play anything that isn't AAA 💅

[nimble cipher]

stemura has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ebon silo]

I friggin bought my 3080 ti build at the height of the shortage, paid 4k if i remember correctly and all i've been playing on it are indie games lmao

[blazing pollen]

and after those months there is no fc ki g option to turn this bip bip bip sound WTF

[sand fiber]

what indie games 💅 💅

[haughty loom]

anyone elses bleeding and radiation damage values bugged, they do zero damage

[ebon silo]

risk of rain, sim racing, FF pixel remaster, original doom mods, dome keeper, noita, vampire survivors, rimworld to name a few\

also a lot of gamma and heroes 3

also valorant and stellaris

[sand fiber]

try narrative-heavy and/or system-heavy games, RPGs, VNs, certain walking simulators, social games, sandboxes

[ebon silo]

....i have a taste for sanbox h games, if that counts? : DDDDDD

regarding doom mods have you played hedon?? 'tis pretty cool...

[hazy jewel]

Hardware ray tracing ?

[tepid river]

ive been getting older games lol. Mafia trilogy (in progress), re4 (dnf), assetto corsa (figured why not), rdr2 (dnf but pending), ready or not (not played enough tbh), six days in fallujah (ran terribly), days gone (F), max payne 3 (F), assassins creed series up to 2017 (ac3 pending), spiderman remastered (F), Splinter cell blacklist (F), insurgency sandstorm, ghost of tsushima (in progress). Sniper elite 4 is decent.

[ebon silo]

looks really interesting. I've been on Doom infinite. Basically item/powerup pickup based roguelite like risk of rain

[sand fiber]

older games
rdr2
spiderman
girl go play some deus ex 2000 and morrowind, then return 💅

[ripe patrol]

damn where the heck is the bug report for the game pls?

ah finally found it. My b

[ebon silo]

wait, wasn't there a morrowind remake in works? with modernized graphics?

[tepid river]

older games for me is like early 2010s because gen z lol

[sand fiber]

depends
there's a project called Skywind that remakes morrowind in skyrim, but it's meaningless imo

i respect projects like Project Tamriel and Tamriel Rebuilt more, they're basically expansion packs for Morrowind that add lore-accurate Tamriel provinces to the game, Skyrim and Cyrodill + Mainland Morrowind currently :p

[ebon silo]

hmm, I'm talking about the nvidia ai tool based remake...or something akin to that

nvm, it's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taJ7tJVFIPA

[sand fiber]

then go play some dishonored and fallout nv 💅 💅 💅

[ebon silo]

nonono, go play supaplex and lotus : D

[tepid river]

i started dishonored but I need to continue it because I didnt really give it a chance

[sand fiber]

oh, i think it's just a showcase of this nvidia remix thingie

[celest goblet]

they should've made oblivion lost 2 instead

[prisma cargo]

They did add a car though. Doesn't even need gas

[dire dagger]

true going to the bottom left of the map in late game is hell

you need to walk like 3k meters

to get to a storage box from that point

which is fucken ass

[celest blaze]

damn warthunder got dlss4 official support faster then S2

[turbid hull]

I haven't beat stalker2 yet but Im pretty close, personally I don't think CS fans will like stalker2, it feels more like soc + cop, which is my personal favorite two stalker games

[dire dagger]

opinion rejected

your being sent to gay baby jail

[sand fiber]

cars are also literally canon to SoC, unclear how stalkers use them but they do

[celest blaze]

CS > SOC > HOC > COP

[turbid hull]

thats my list too

[celest blaze]

awful lists

[sand fiber]

HoC probably before CoP, idk haven't played 💅

[celest blaze]

cop is hardly even canon

some say its just a bad dream

[turbid hull]

isnt that CS?

[celest blaze]

nope

the military isnt retarded in cs lol

cop mfs didnt even know anomalies moved at all

yet clearly established

[turbid hull]

cant totally relate, but I respect your opinion

[celest blaze]

based

[dire dagger]

all the techs from cop are also just not in the game

which makes no sense

there suppose to have set up shop somewhere

[celest blaze]

respect yours aswell

[dire dagger]

what happened

[celest blaze]

fr

[dire dagger]

they just up and died apparently

well nitro mentions the guy from cop

i forget his name

when you meet him he says his name

and thats the only mention of him in HOC

[celest blaze]

cardan?

[dire dagger]

yessssss

[rugged pendant]

anyone?

[dire dagger]

some unreal engine config option problem

no idea sorry

[sand fiber]

did they actually not add cardan to s2???

[celest blaze]

i dont think so

[turbid hull]

[paper brook]

Patch is pretty boring so far, played for a few hours, I can’t feel absolutely any changes
I really hope 1.5 will change the game and actually ads something new

For now patches feel more like a hotfix

[sand fiber]

oh wow it's almost like patches fix stuff and don't remake the game

[turbid hull]

yeah I know but didnt expect he was the one who did skif

[celest blaze]

you read what it did right? if not this is just goofy lol

I mean, cyberpunk did remake the gameplay a lot, so nope

[empty echo]

i'm up to stage 5, tbh kinda losing motivation to watch at this point

[dire dagger]

i stopped after they took down aniwave

greatest loss of modern time

[celest blaze]

2077 was an even more broken mess then S2 at launch lol

[turbid hull]

agreed

[proud herald]

So is alife fixed yet or what?

[dire dagger]

mmmm

nah

[paper brook]

But the patches were actually meaningful, that’s the difference

Here they release a patch a nothing changes

[sand fiber]

yes and it took what, 2 years and a staff change? i oppose the idea that games should be in perpetual development, when it's released it's released, and it is what it is

[celest blaze]

[proud herald]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan

[dire dagger]

right now im watching solo leveling

SOLO LEVELING IS FUCKEN BASED YAHHHHHHHHH

[celest blaze]

2077 almost killed CDPR lol it took YEARS of hard work to build back ANY trust

[empty echo]

like in the first stages takumi won races because of pure skill, finesse and yknow his special moves, but in the later stages all he's winning from is flukes
it's so, meh to watch

[turbid hull]

ARISE

[celest blaze]

hell i waited 5 years to buy 2077

[dire dagger]

they also made all the cars too customized

[empty echo]

yeah, and look what we got, the game's great now

[dire dagger]

which i personally don't like

[celest blaze]

fr goated

[dire dagger]

call me a purist but i like my jdm cars looking oem plus

[celest blaze]

i love OEM looks on all cars tbh

[empty echo]

eh, that makes sense though, they're all climbing up the food chain so they need them upgrades to compete

[paper brook]

I mean that’s why i said i nope 1.5 update will be more meaningful and actually adds new things not only fixes

[dire dagger]

i agree till you delete the pop ups

FORBIDDEN

[celest blaze]

bring back pop ups..

[dire dagger]

they made this

[empty echo]

i agree but like, god it still looks so good

there's a mint 04 wrx sti on fb marketplace for like 20 grand us and i want it so bad

[celest blaze]

i like what i like haha

[celest blaze]

i like JDM econ cars, big diesel trucks and older BMWS

[dire dagger]

the impreza i bought

apparently sat on the lot for over a year

because it was a manual

every family that came to buy it ran away when they found out it was manual

[empty echo]

fair enough, i won't rain on ur parade

[dire dagger]

so i got it for a crazy good deal

[celest blaze]

it also helps my grandparents owned a corolla and i have alot of core memories with that car

[analog light]

Yeah no one wants a manual Impreza unless it’s a WRX.

i do

because i want a manual

Slow car fast is actually more fun so I don’t blame you.

but didn't end up doing it

just bought the impreza and was happy with that

the sti gets milage on par wit a rx7

[empty echo]

give it to me, i need it

who the fuck buys a rx7 to ls swap it

either or

id be happy with either

[celest blaze]

i've seen a few 5.9 cummins swapped mustangs i love the engine but man thats a wild mix

they call them cumstangs 💀

[analog light]

That’s just a meme putting a 1000lbs diesel in virtually any sports car is a terrible idea.

[celest blaze]

fr id rather put it in a 70-80s Cadillac

[analog light]

So many 3 gens have been swapped

[dire dagger]

nah

not that are for sale

no one wants to buy the swapped ones lol

[empty echo]

i like fc's more than the fd

[celest blaze]

i want a 5.9 so bad but i have NO use for a truck that big lol

[dire dagger]

there is a guy on fb been trying to sell his ls swapped fd

for over a year now

and not a single person has even tried to buy it best i can tell

lol

[analog light]

That’s how all collector cars work.

[empty echo]

the fd looks better stock but the fc has more potential in looks imoooo

[dire dagger]

it makes them worthless

[dire dagger]

if you quad rotor swap an rx7

that has way moer value

that was cool

lol

[celest blaze]

so random lol

https://tenor.com/view/rotary-gif-22365972

damn gif cuts out too soon'

[analog light]

I’m not saying that would be my choice. I just said lots have LS swaps. Idk how old you are but there was a time when no one cared about spinning Doritos when they figured out they could fit an ls3. I’m not saying if it’s good or bad haha.

[empty echo]

i REALLY like 944's, their shape is so good

[dire dagger]

a shop down the street from me has a few out front

[dire dagger]

they look cool but parts

are just insane

rx7 is way easier

[analog light]

That’s because they built a large aftermarket for them because they all originally broke when they were 10 years old lol

[empty echo]

unless it's a purely race car

[analog light]

Find me an rx7 on its first apex seals.

[dire dagger]

easily

they just wont have compression lol

but man was simply not ready to appreciate it yet

ur so right

[analog light]

Well I’ve got bad news unless you want a range extender you should sell your miata and buy an rx7 then.

[dire dagger]

i want to

i just need to engine swap it first

the miatas engines blew up lol

[analog light]

You should duratech swap it

[dire dagger]

nah

i might sell it as is

its got no rust idk

I WANT THE ROTARY

[empty echo]

what did you do

[dire dagger]

i found that

one of the orginal owners before me

completely fucked the engine up

so i just put it back together and drove it till it died

[latent rain]

Why is there an attachable silencer for the VS Vintar, when the VS Vintar has a silencer anyway?

[analog light]

Which one?

[empty echo]

bruh

[latent rain]

or maybe it was the attachable 4x scope

[dire dagger]

a new engine costs 1.3k for a low milage jdm motor

to fix what i got

would cost like 3k or more

so i just said fuck it not bothering

[empty echo]

eesh, yeah fair enough

[dire dagger]

i tried believe me but

the head was warped

[latent rain]

but never seen an VS Vintar without a scope or silencer

[dire dagger]

thats when i realized its not worth it

[analog light]

So are you gonna get a jdm motor? Get a buddy to miatas are just about the easiest car to work on ever build

[dire dagger]

yah they are

i did a ton of work on it before it died

[analog light]

Get a buddy to help*

[empty echo]

what small brain did that to it before u istg

[dire dagger]

dunno

i need so much replaced

i need a new dash

[analog light]

Someone who over heated it my guess

[dire dagger]

it was warped before i did that by mistake lol

i just made it worse

[analog light]

How could you tell?

[dire dagger]

i took it apart before hand

and discovered the sealing surfaces did not meet flush anymore

[analog light]

And you put the warped head back on?

[dire dagger]

i was broke

what could i do

[empty echo]

eez what it eez

[latent rain]

damn, looking forward to finding the green hell zone in S2 and hoping Skif can heel'n'toe

[analog light]

Was it your only car?

[dire dagger]

at the time yah

lol

i just took out a loan through a family friend to buy the impreza to get a working car that wouldn't die on me lol

so now i can fix the miata like fully lol

cus that was my problem i had to drive it to work so

i couldn't do a lot of work on it lol

[analog light]

Yeah fair when my manual E39 was starting to get unreliable it was covid and used car prices were crazy and the interest rate was low enough that I just bought new which I’ve never done before.

[dire dagger]

like i went a month

where i was barrowing someones car to get to work

to then come home and keep wrenching on the miata

[latent rain]

e39 isnt unreliable. you just need to change the thermostat every 50km

[dire dagger]

i did that every single day for a month and they were fucken pissed

so yah was about time i bought something else lol

i might rotary swap the miata

that could be fun

[native ibex]

Ngl, I still haven't finished S2. Also, hello

[turbid hull]

I miss the bleed resistance in soc, literally made bandage useless

[celest portal]

Yeah, I still haven't either. Have yet to get my first ending for my playthrough.

[native ibex]

Yeah, I think I've found all the milk and limited edition energy drinks

[turbid hull]

A hallway with 3 controllers, thanks GSC

[native ibex]

Where the hell you find that? Sounds very GAMMA

[turbid hull]

Pripyat ofc

[turbid hull]

yea stalker2 is really GAMMA

[celest goblet]

Average op-2 commute out of rostok

[sand fiber]

they should've added pokeballs from op 2.2 to s2

[celest goblet]

People say the map is too empty? Add Voronin's documents

[eager mauve]

Hi just wondering if anyone is still having problems with the collar side quest? i have all 4 but it doesn't lead me anywhere.

[native ibex]

Do what now? Is this mod?

[austere garnet]

Try heading back to where you met the guy for the quest

[eager mauve]

i tried that so and he wasn't there the only way point was for the 1st collar so i guess it just still bugged

[austere garnet]

I don’t know then

[eager mauve]

it alright thank you for trying to help :]

[crystal merlin]

Someone on Reddit said it's still penetration. So If you thought the sofmod was bad, it still is.

Downloading the update right now, I'm curious to see how they balanced the armors.

But seriously though how could it be so bad lmao.
The gun have a 41K price, you can upgrade a GP37 with less and it'll outperform this piece with a lot lower repair cost, even if you started with a broken one it'll still be cheaper overall to maintain the GP37.

[austere garnet]

The SOFMOD is pretty good early game, but it gets to a point to where I’m ticking my enemy. A while back, I tried to take on some exo suit mercs with it, and it felt like I was just being a fly trying to damage a block of tungsten

[placid spoke]

When i first started the game i thought the lesser zone was the entire map

I was pleasantly surprised when I zoomed out

[twilit lynx]

Is there still a way to get into Pripyat early?

[placid spoke]

Yes i did it yesterday its just a little tricky. Ill send you the link to the video i watched if you want

[paper brook]

We need Tommy love to be added to the game as an npc

The guy deserves it fully

[low vessel]

Quick question, I was wondering if anyone knows the answer yet
I know the 'point of no return' items have been moved to stashes around Prypat, but I've already looted most, if not all of them. So are these items going to show up in new stashes, or existing ones? Does the loot respawn with the updated items? I just hope I haven't missed out on things 😅

[twilit lynx]

Please do send me the link

[placid spoke]

Gochu

[placid spoke]

Check dm

[nimble cipher]

bigtonkka has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[twilit lynx]

I’ve been trying to get through for so long now

[placid spoke]

I had to land on the corner of the fence not the barbed wire, and then spam jump across the wire

I was getting really annoyed and i started thinking it was patched but i made it in

[twilit lynx]

Took so long but I did it

[normal comet]

I feel like I missed out on a cool mission by already having the mutant collars

[magic patio]

Did anybody check the 1.3 ai already? Do stalkers finally react to you putting the gun into their faces, do they react instantly if you kill their comrade near them?

[twin pulsar]

Still no A-life improvements, still no mod support, still no roadmap. Eh well wcyd

[empty crescent]

Folks, do you ever get stuck in place after closing inventory, which has been happening more frequently since updating to 1.3? Saving and reloading fixes it.

[mild palm]

Yup, pretty much. Live and learn

[kindred drum]

Hey this patch had some new things added like death screens and uhh squirrels

[unreal raptor]

TBH I'm a negative nancy when it comes to this game, it's release and GSC's comms. But this patch at least seems to be a step in the right direction. When I read balance improvements my heart glows.

The new mutant ai whilst in cover fix, is this to stop fleshies hiding behind tree trunks whilst you stand on a car?

[kindred drum]

I thought that was in the last patch but maybe they did it again

[unreal raptor]

so what happens, are mutants supposed to be able to attack you whilst you are on something higher than them?

[thick zodiac]

I do really enjoy the patch (I mean I am 30 minutes away from finishing the story) at least in the last location the sound improved by a lot and graphical perfomance

[sly viper]

Npcs still don't instantly react for flagging them with a barrel

[crystal merlin]

Ok so, Hera from Duty, the one that give you repeatable sidequests can still bugged and leave the quest incomplete, it keep saying "Return to Hera", you can still do his 1 or 2 of his quest until he stop giving you more.
The workaround is using command to cancel the quest.

I'm not sure if it have anything to do with me killing hostile soldiers of THAT faction and get Duty to be green with me before I return to Hera.

[sly viper]

Bro...please refrain to spoiler section

[crystal merlin]

Edited

[thick zodiac]

this funny bug when enemies with a Groza die and fall with the gun, but the grenade in the barrel is still in the air persists 😄

how they added dlss 4, does it work for anyone?

[urban basin]

I dont think they did
My friend told me is still the old dlss

[thick zodiac]

on official website of nvidia it says they did add dlss4 see #📸┃screenshots_and_videos

[dire dagger]

It’s not actually in the game

As of now only fsr4 is

You can sorta add it via dlss swapper but

Not a single person has reported it’s in the game

[rotund shuttle]

I have to add I played for 10 hours straight now and I crashed more than 20 times now. Do this mean that the new update broke the game?🤣

[dire dagger]

I’ve been having insane amounts of crashes even before the update

Memory crashes every few minutes

Like idk what’s going on

Older patches didn’t have this many memory leaks

[rotund shuttle]

Huh before the 1.3 update I think I crashed 2 times but now its almost eveytime

[dire dagger]

Oh 1.3 was even worse I gave up on testing quickly lol

I couldn’t go more then 10 minutes with our crashing due to a memory leak

[rotund shuttle]

I tried messing around with the settings tought that might help but its hell shit now

Sooo Im guessing that I shouldnt play until they do something?😅

[dire dagger]

Some people seem to have no memory leaks I’m not sure what the problem is

Maybe it’s cus I got 48gigs of ram or somethings

[bright lantern]

Looks like the patch broke reticle settings. I can't turn them off anymore. Anyone know a workaround?

[dire dagger]

Dont think there is a fix yet

[analog helm]

after every "patch" (which in reality is rather an update) there is 1 or 2 follow-up actual patches to patch the patch, usually

[tiny token]

meow

[bright lantern]

Man that sucks. I really hate playing with onscreen crosshairs.

[finite tangle]

dude was screaming about the trailers

[rotund shuttle]

Ohhh well I guess Ill do something els then

[dire dagger]

Go play uh

Battlefield 1 or something

https://youtu.be/wMoY0nW6Ouk?feature=shared

[tepid berry]

patch broke Faust on xbox series s lol

[tepid berry]

im waiting for the upcoming two hotfixes until i fire up the game again

[thick zodiac]

are u telling me Jense has lied to me?

[dire dagger]

Yah probably

Fsr4 is though so

Radeon bros stay winning

[broken latch]

Console commands should be able to turn off the cross hair

[thick zodiac]

I love this patch, perfomance better, sound much better, everything better, no leaks

[dire dagger]

I got insane leaks

Lmao

[thick zodiac]

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/hatsune-miku-hatsunemiku-vocaloid-leekspin-gif-27084853

[thick zodiac]

thank you

Anyway I genuinely enjoy the patch a lot, I wish I started my playthrough with it. But I have just finished my second ending and think will wait until some more content

[bright lantern]

Ok this update is super busted. I just had an emission and now I die for absolutely no reason about 30 seconds after walking out of the bunker.

[bright lantern]

That's a good idea. But now that I'm randomly dropping dead from the heart attack anomaly, I think I'm going to play something else until 1.3.1

[magic patio]

Did anybody check the 1.3 ai already? Do stalkers finally react to you putting the gun into their faces, do they react instantly if you kill their comrade near them?

[urban basin]

Nope

[thick zodiac]

I think the fights are much better, they use better tactics like turn off flashlight and don't rush you one by one. But they don't react to deaths next to them. Very much Skyrim like or even worse. "must be the wind"

[magic patio]

Nah, not talkin bout the fights. Just the calm ones in Zalissya i.e.

You come near them, you take off the weapon. Do they react at last, or still give no sht

Loot at this, kek
I wonder if it's finally fixed or not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AVzFb-Li0A&ab_channel=ФёдорВалл

[urban basin]

Its still the same
They say some lines about you having a weapon on hand but you can shoot beside them and stuff like that and they wont react

[magic patio]

lmao

[thick zodiac]

they are just very well trained, stone hearted soldiers 🤣

[magic patio]

gonna wait till it's fixed then, cause this kills the whole immersion for good.

[broken latch]

What is the heart attack anomaly

[dim topaz]

Still no zoneslug video yet? He fell off

[celest blaze]

unrestricted use of non stop energy consequences finally catching up..

[bright lantern]

After the emission, my character has a heart attack and dies about 30 seconds after I walk outside.

[broken latch]

Don't go outside for 10 minutes?

[celest blaze]

https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new if its a bug please report here

[urban basin]

Drink more water

[bright lantern]

Energy drink or die.

Energy drink AND die.

[crystal merlin]

So idk if the last patch messed up something, remember the dam where you get a free Kharod that requires you to run around looking for 4 digit key code?
For whatever reason it give me the wrong code, only one digit is wrong but still weird, I looked up playthrough and the digits I that video show are correct.

[mild palm]

So uh … Mol1t?

[celest goblet]

Well I caved and started a new game. Managed to tweak my settings to get 60+ fps with no frame gen. Feels pretty good now. This time I'll explore the zone pretty thoroughly

[urban basin]

Dont get lost in the zone

[loud gate]

Actually, during my testing (I haven't played Public Release), it was way more common.

[magic patio]

Could anybody do the same testing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AVzFb-Li0A&ab_channel=ФёдорВалл

In the same place.

[celest goblet]

I immediately played 3+ hours on starting a new game. The zone doesn't let you go

[nimble hinge]

so how is the new update guys?

[celest goblet]

Eh, it's fine. Fixes more issues but is not the most exciting thing. The new death splash screens are pretty kino

[nimble hinge]

thnx for response, then ill just keep waiting for the next one i guess lol

[celest goblet]

I guess I'll say if you are like me and haven't played the start of the game since 1.0.0 it feels a lot better. If you were playing it on 1.2 you probably wouldn't notice a huge difference

[empty gorge]

nah hard skip, if you can wait for a better first experience if you a stalker fan, if not just rush through msq after 10-15h of exploration

[native ibex]

Idk, I have dropped off completely right now. Late into the game at the ||You can't go back from here|| section and I just... nah, I'll get to it.

[drowsy blade]

I got two more endings to do and then I’ll probably take a little break from S2 to avoid burning out. Got a few free play mods I wanna try for the trilogy and me and bunch of my bois are gonna play CoP coop

[celest goblet]

Playing OP-2 will occupy any stalker fan until the game is where it should be

[brisk nimbus]

How’s the patch

[celest blaze]

OPeak2 mentioned you dropped this 👑

[celest goblet]

It may occupy you with a slow descent into madness, but it will occupy you

[drowsy blade]

Ah well I’m starting with CotZ

[celest blaze]

👑

i love cotz so much

RIP DocX

[mild palm]

It fixes NPC idle animations

[unreal raptor]

as in the bandits in the garbage train station are not all basically T pose anymore?

[drowsy blade]

[worthy zodiac]

any stalker fan
OP-2
Real fans stay away from this abomination...

[celest blaze]

"real fans"? bro cmon now

he got filtered in the cordon..

[silent blade]

Whats up fellas. How is the new update. Is it worth getting back in or wait for a couple more months?

[worthy zodiac]

Let's be real, OP-2 is as far from original trilogy experience as anomaly

[celest blaze]

It's not trying to be the trilogy though it's a soupmod

[mild palm]

Allegedly

[worthy zodiac]

Thus it's not for fans of stalker. It's for... Eh... I don't even know what's the intended audience of slop like this, tbh...

[mild palm]

My guy; if you have the patience, give it a year

[celest blaze]

Goofy as fuck

Just say you got killed in the caves lol

Only real fans play the 4 canon games with no mods

If not you're not a real stalker fan

[vale quartz]

[worthy zodiac]

Nah, that's not the worst part. The worst part is when it asks you to find yet another stash that's hidden out of bounds or when they task you with finding a morbillion of mutant parts...

[celest blaze]

I've played it for 14 hours just fine so far

Op2 ain't for everyone but it isn't slop like gamma

I don't think you understand what soup means

[worthy zodiac]

Yeah, it's even worse

[celest blaze]

Skill issue

[vale quartz]

nuthin worse than gamma

[celest blaze]

Op2 is fun so far

[worthy zodiac]

"But it's a soup! It's supposed to be whacky xD!"
Nah, it's shіt

[weary topaz]

when pvp mode

[celest blaze]

Don't like don't play it

[errant orbit]

Come back in a year or two

[jade geyser]

how the last patch do? is it much better then the game after lodochka's bunker fix patch? or still buggy? can someone tell his experience?

[blazing pollen]

or completely turn off the HUD, tweak the FOV, and lose yourself in the Zone.

[celest blaze]

Real stalker fans don't play western slop...

[worthy zodiac]

As you can see, I'm not playing it. It's just weird to see people promoting that slop like it will be an enjoyable experience for stalker fans, that's all

[atomic kraken]

How much has performance improved since launch? Curious if I should drop in and start playing or wait for more updates

[celest blaze]

Who cares though?

Let people promote it others might like it

[wheat vine]

looks pretty identical, there are a bunch of perfomance mods that might raise your fps by like 5% tho

[celest blaze]

Gatekeeping op2 is wild

[worthy zodiac]

Me, I do. What are you gonna do about me caring about vidya, huh? Huh? What are you gonna do, huh?!?!?!?1?

[rapid river]

Anyone waiting for AC Shadows?

[celest blaze]

🫵

[atomic kraken]

Dang that's really disappointing, ty though

[celest blaze]

Op2 runs great..

[dim topaz]

Stalker TCG when

[wheat vine]

also has a shit ton of graphical issues with lumen, i think waiting is the best play

[clear raft]

Wait a couple years, this game needs some work. This is why we haven't seen a roadmap yet because they're going to be spending this year just fixing problems.

[jade geyser]

how the last patch do? is it much better then the game after lodochka's bunker fix patch? or still buggy? can someone tell his experience?

[unreal fjord]

woow

[atomic kraken]

Sounds good, will do - and what's op2?

[dim topaz]

I use 2 artifacts to summon Psy dog, and place it in attack position. I then play the Emission spellcard from my hand, your units have now become zombified and miss a turn. Your move, Richter

[rough condor]

Zone this and Zone that, blah blah, why not change the record and come up with some interesting writing?

[worthy zodiac]

I'm not gatekeeping it tho. If you like it - go ahead. Just... I don't know, the only things that are worth promoting for fans of original trilogy are Spatial Anomaly and CotZ, imo... Anything else - just a whacky slop for people that don't care what to play anymore

[empty gorge]

i love how the trailer showcases stalker gunplay like some single player open world tarkov instead of alife and npc simulating the zone or mutants feeding, or stalkers artefact hunting, or stalkers at a campfire, or guiding ecologists, or doing radiant quests for some stalker out in the zone, or looking for hard to reach stashes with unique description of where they are

[clear raft]

Probably never, there's no way GSC is going to be able to design netcode for this title. Total pipe dream.

[charred wraith]

its because the essence of it is gone.

[worthy zodiac]

To be fair, it's possible that most of the important stuff is already implemented in the unreal engine itself

[celest goblet]

Only for those with willpower of pure steel or the mentally deranged yes

[weary topaz]

If they don't add it, i'll sue them

[clear raft]

Do it now then 🤣

[wheat vine]

does anyone even want pvp multiplayer in this game

[polar roost]

What was that trailer about?

[weary topaz]

They announced it

[wheat vine]

wouldnt be the first time a multiplayer mode got cancelled ig

[celest blaze]

I was forged in the fire of op..

[worthy zodiac]

Some people do for some reason... But yeah, the devs also announced it so it's only natural that people are expecting it too

[thick wolf]

Much love to GSC and this community

[wheat vine]

coop would be sick but there are a gazillion pvp shooters you can play with 10x better gunplay than stalker 2

[clear raft]

They also announced A-life and then we got whatever this is.

[celest blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meow-big-lips-gif-13233291

Preach

[heavy sable]

GSC isn’t doing co-op

[wheat vine]

i know

[celest blaze]

Op2 co-op..

[heavy sable]

I hope the updates to A-Life get an overhaul down the line

[celest goblet]

Twice the people to get hit by heat seeking underbarrel grenades

[celest blaze]

Ong haha

Horror hour with the bros

[storm kernel]

stalker 2 has peak gunplay as it is

[hollow hull]

Gsc making trailers like its release day again wtf

[clear raft]

I don't even know if it's possible with UE5 to have A-life like the OG titles. This engine is just a mess.

[heavy sable]

It’s not the engine

[dire dagger]

The game requires massive massive optimizations

[cosmic isle]

I wish they wouldnt put 40 filters over the trailers the game does not look or play like that

[dire dagger]

Before that could be possible

[hollow hull]

True trailer is a scam, just like gsc is a scam developer

[tall coral]

Its just fluff

[dire dagger]

Ha

[celest blaze]

Cope

[dire dagger]

Bro thinks the game is the day before

Lmfao

[cosmic isle]

I wouldn't say they're scamming but they did lie

[heavy sable]

Tell me you know nothing about game development without telling you know nothing about game development

[dire dagger]

Game isn’t amazing but it’s 50 times more real than the day before

[unreal fjord]

true

[cosmic isle]

Nothing to say about it anymore the horse is beaten thoroughly

[celest goblet]

Okay this would actually be kinda fun

[normal comet]

The real scam developers are the ones making those fake game ads you see on youtube

[celest blaze]

Right? Imagine..

Game is missing things and need work but they sold a game you could start and finish that's not a scam

[unreal raptor]

what is this weird trailer that just dropped?!

[dire dagger]

We all play sons of the forest together

https://tenor.com/view/chudlogic-chud-logic-evil-gang-evil-gif-11587451429599961940

[heavy sable]

I finished my 1st PT in January so the game can be completed in its entirety

[cosmic isle]

Last time I played it there was a main questline that couldn't be finished normally without some workaround it's probably fixed now

[unreal raptor]

it's telling me to turn the hud off in the description

[outer laurel]

Stalker 2 survived more than 2 days

[celest blaze]

I hope so tbh

[dire dagger]

Real

[dire dagger]

It even made a profit

[placid spoke]

Integral A is underrated and i wish s2 had co op

[cosmic isle]

I'm surprised by that no hate

[outer laurel]

atlest GSC didn't said "sh*t happens"

[heavy sable]

Not to mention the amount of fixes that come in a patch every time

[dire dagger]

It’s made a profit like 3x over

The game sold a million copies before it even released

[weary token]

whats with the new trailer that just dropped? I mean cool and all but it's getting old, show something new!

[cosmic isle]

That's crazy hopefully that gets put into the dlcs

[heavy sable]

It will 3 of them have been leaked

[cunning vigil]

I haven't touched the game in months. Has performance improved with the new patch?

[cosmic isle]

Did any of the weird graphical things get fixed like the static type effects not the radiation

[tall coral]

60% of the patch is just quest fixes which is wild

[hollow hull]

Lets all just agree that stalker 2 was the biggest disappointment of the century

[zinc apex]

When is the december 2024 roadmap dropping BTW?

[heavy sable]

I need to play more but so far it seems so

[celest blaze]

Man you need better material these post covid trolls suck ass

[hollow hull]

December 2086

[dire dagger]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/655157647539961897/1170957101615546509/attachment-1.gif

[celest blaze]

Then again I don't expect much from a fish pfp

[celest goblet]

They have said the success will let them support the game more than planned. TBD what exactly that means

[hollow hull]

Le fishe au chocolat

[weary token]

no, it didn't. At least not by the amount to notice it. Also latest patch "downgraded" the epic preset so that that hair setting is High on epic preset. Which could lead some to believe that perfromance is better (hair is the most demanding setting), but no

[hollow hull]

But but but that is true optimization lmao

[empty gorge]

modders where mentioning putting hair on low since day 1 took gsc 4 months to notice it, anything higher then med has insane taxing

[cosmic isle]

I wish those military dudes in the cloaks were more prevalent that's the coolest design in any of the games

[celest blaze]

I mean does gsc have to hold your hand ? Just lower shit yourself lol ez

If you can't run settings lower till you can

[celest goblet]

Those are IPSF dudes so they tend to appear in the south mostly

[empty gorge]

ohhhhhh still morning? i mean that it took gsc 4 months to realise epic hair has insane performance hits and thus lowered it in presets, something that can be done in a heartbeat. no need to jump to conclusions here about pc specs. its a PRESET after all done by the developers, they should know better

[clear raft]

Best possible outcome for this title will be when the SDK gets dropped and modders can finally fix this title.

Until then we're just going to have to deal with repeat media posts and lackluster bug fixes that just introduce more performance problems that they will have to fix later.

[cosmic isle]

I know they also appear in pripyat and yaniv if you get there early but at the time you're supposed to be there, they're in exosuits and combat armor

[dusky shard]

While computer frozen bc of game

[hollow hull]

True

[empty gorge]

modders CANNOT SAVE THIS IF THE TOOLS ARENT THERE, IF THEY GET BAD SDK ITS JOEVER, IF THEY GET DECENT SDK BUT THERE ARE BARELY ANY IN HOUSE TOOLS ITS JOEVER. obligatory caps to make people realise modders can only do so much

[tall coral]

Sadly modders are just leaving, there is a handful left and GSC refuses to communicate even a little.
Breaking stuff for no gain

[hollow hull]

Stalker 2 is kinda dead already bruh

[celest blaze]

Just play op2

[cosmic isle]

I feel like a lot of dudes modding anomaly are on 10 year out of date hardware running on hopes and dreams

[dusky shard]

I think dlss just froze my pc

[clear raft]

Then lets pray that some disgruntled dev dumps the source code and then we won't have to worry about mediocrity 🤣

[celest blaze]

Alot of people run weak pcs tbh

[cosmic isle]

I know and stalker 2 is a very demanding game or was when it launched there were memory leaks iirc

[mild palm]

Like … when?

[celest blaze]

I have it

[hollow hull]

When is stalker 2 out of early access?

Make stalker great again

[cunning vigil]

You're getting higher FPS?

[prisma cargo]

someone posted ram usage is higher than release now so 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic isle]

That's absurd

[cunning vigil]

Higher ram usage isn't a bad thing.

[urban basin]

Shouldnt be a problem unless the game has a memory leak and it crashes

[prisma cargo]

Certainly not common in S2 haha

[urban basin]

People are still reporting memory leaks

[hollow hull]

Maybe they fixed opening map 50 times and game dumb 55gb too ram if you got 64 gb

[placid spoke]

Buff the m14 buff the m14 buff the m14

[celest blaze]

Give us the an94..

[zinc zinc]

Are we still on the patch cycles where they're fixing critical bugs/performance issues or are they finally starting to add the deluge of missing content/features?

[placid spoke]

That bald guy is my favorite character

[celest goblet]

Strider?

[tall coral]

From what ive seen it seems like its like a gig higher than 1.2, and almsot that than launch. -4% fps on 2k avg

[unkempt merlin]

Is 100k coupons a lot?

[placid spoke]

Ward guy thats always pissed off

[celest goblet]

Korshunov then. Yeah he's a good character

[tall coral]

critical bugs phase

[drowsy blade]

They’re still focusing on bug fixes, that’s what a majority of it is.

I’d expect them to continue with these patches until at least the summer/end of summer

(at least with the current rate of patches being around one major per month)

[celest goblet]

However long it takes to fix them yeah

[tall coral]

oh sorry my bad we got some missing content, like squirrels

[unkempt merlin]

Dang guess I gotta get more then lol

[drowsy blade]

100k should let you run a decently late game kit for a while

[empty gorge]

what content is available in early access -> the story is fully playable with some bugs that can be bypassed, a few side missions like zalissya are broken but we are aiming to fix it soon asap. alife 2.0 is in basic state as we gradually increase its depth
how long will you stay in early access -> we are aiming for around 6 months to 1 year of bugfixing and optimization with slight content updates in them such as alife 2.0
will the price change during development -> we are releasing at a fixed price that will remain throughout early access, with sales to incentivize people to buy and try it out before 1.0 release later in 2025

[urban basin]

Aint reading allat

[hollow hull]

Still just fixing / patching, dont expect anything else or you will be disappointed especially when it comes to re adding cut content, will only happen later after year 3000

[celest goblet]

Who will win the race to make the biggest exaggerations today I wonder

[placid spoke]

Please let us buy 7.62 even if its just one trader in the whole game

And add the rpd i know they have a model for it in sultansk

[prisma cargo]

Alife exists but you have to be willing to take a ride with OceanGate to get access to it.

[urban basin]

Pretty sure that even if they add alife people will complain saying that it took too much time to be added or that it isnt what they expected

[celest blaze]

They are fun to read tbh

[sharp minnow]

Only in GSC trailers does everything work perfectly and even Lumen performs well in lighting

[heavy sable]

Well that's why I said I need to play more but thank you for clarifying

[tall coral]

At this point any alife would do as long as we get some sliver of info about modding before there is none left

[empty gorge]

they use hw lumen in development builds is why\

[hollow hull]

Yeah cause they are lying in the trailer

[brisk nimbus]

What’s this?

[sharp minnow]

No, it still flickers its standart programs lumen

[hollow hull]

They will release modding tools after all the modders left, so that gsc's true image of stalker 2 will be forever prevailed

[prisma cargo]

Different timeline

[urban basin]

His own way of saying that the game is an early access

[empty gorge]

different timeline text on storepage, one where they where real with us.
@sharp minnow its hw lumen it really is....

[empty gorge]

the 10-15 s2 modders agree with you here

[sharp minnow]

no i see again trailer its standart lumen

[empty gorge]

listen they got different things in their development builds and thats where they get the footage from, i cant say more

[celest goblet]

"Wait, that's it?"

"Always has been."

[tall coral]

a patch with 600+ (?) fixes to quests in my eyes is ea

[sharp minnow]

Very noticeable flickering on the weapon

[hollow hull]

what do we have a decade later??? A pos lmao

[celest blaze]

Debatable

Unless we talking about call of pripyat

[urban basin]

I really like stalker 2
I prefer it over CoP

[celest blaze]

Based

[drowsy blade]

How could you say something so brave

[celest blaze]

Soc/cs/hoc only canon games

[hollow hull]

Compare stalker 2 too old og stalker difference is not good, ZoneSlug got a lot of videos

[celest goblet]

I like them all but SoC is forever the GOAT to me

[urban basin]

SoC is still my favorite

[celest blaze]

You comparing their launches or years down the road once fully fixed lol

[bright lantern]

I asked your parents and they disagreed.

[urban basin]

CS has a lot of things i like and also dislike but still goated lol

[celest goblet]

I maintain that CoP is actually pretty good it's just really only good for one playthrough

[celest blaze]

Trilogy releases broken as fuck

[drowsy blade]

Yeah CoP is obviously if the military had never been in the Zone before instead of being there for 6 years before SoC/CoP

[celest blaze]

I HATE how the MQ makes no sense it was established new paths opened up in the zone implying everyone knew and rushed in

[urban basin]

Yep, stalker 2 doesnt feel like that and thats why i prefer it

[celest goblet]

And I guess you have to be okay with the main story barely existing but it's all the side missions along the way that are the real attraction

[celest blaze]

Fr cop side content cool

Hunting chimera was cool

[exotic hamlet]

Call of Pripyat is a great game. All other opinions are wrong.

[hollow hull]

Newer stalker fans will love stalker 2, og fans already left

[drowsy blade]

the Military in CoP: “ANOMALIES MOVE AFTER EMISSIONS?!?!”

Literally in 2011 new paths opened in The Zone that everyone including the military knew about

[celest blaze]

I'm still here lol

I own the trilogy on gog and steam aswell as stalker 2

[hollow hull]

U dont count

[urban basin]

Damn

[reef raptor]

im sorry but the new trailer hurts my soul lmao
the scenes changing off beat at times + not even changing on beat sometimes is sooo aaaaaaa

oh and also the song not even fading out at the end making the video end hella abruptly

[celest blaze]

Whatever you say white role

Keep crying in chat

[hollow hull]

Yes moshi mosh

[drowsy blade]

No way we got discord role racism in 2025

[urban basin]

It is what it is

[celest blaze]

Gotta keep it alive

[ashen compass]

damn, chat is toxic today

[celest goblet]

It is a day that ends in a y

[drowsy blade]

I don’t remember asking you no-faction headass

[celest blaze]

Real fans play op2..

[storm kernel]

lil bro

[hollow hull]

Just wait until after gsc announce a-life 2.0 cancellation

[celest blaze]

Real fans play goldsphere..

[storm kernel]

a life has not been cancelled you just have to be cool enough to get it

[hollow hull]

Lmao

[storm kernel]

GSC said I was cool enough to have it. A Life is pretty cool

[celest blaze]

Giving out A-life DLC to 10 random people in chat

[hollow hull]

There is no a-life in game wtf bruh the a-life director header is literally empty

[storm kernel]

Not true. I have been playing with A Life enabled since launch day

[hollow hull]

Well your are confirmed schizoprenic then

[celest blaze]

Gamma bros proved alife in the game

[drowsy blade]

Priboi mfers

[wheat vine]

gonna need a 15800x3d

[storm kernel]

incorrect, mol1t literally told me I was a cool dude, dapped me up and gave me a key to the alife version of the game 🙏

[celest blaze]

Naw man x4d * next level

[hollow hull]

Ok got it thnx for explain

[celest blaze]

I was there and saw this we met him at the mod meetup

[wheat vine]

4 dimensionally stacked l3 cache

[storm kernel]

minimum specs is Majorana 1 processor

[celest blaze]

Arma 3 on that would be peak..

[storm kernel]

loading into a multiplayer GMOD server would only take 3 hours instead of the usual 15 🔥

[celest blaze]

🗣️

[storm kernel]

true story

[exotic hamlet]

I don't get why people use AI "screenshots" for videogames as YouTube thumbnails. It's a game. You can take a screenshot and it's not going to count as copyright violation. You can Google the concept art or official art and I 100% guarantee you will find official, visually-interesting material for a thumbnail.

[drowsy blade]

Because people are so extraordinarily lazy they actually loop right back around to do unnecessary work for slop results

[celest blaze]

Same I hate this ai wave of content don't forget ai narration 💀

[storm kernel]

AI content is a cancer on the internet and society as a whole

dead internet theory is real boys

[celest blaze]

One channel I used to watch switched from human to ai narration and I stopped watching

[drowsy blade]

People would rather waste their time generating an AI picture that looks awful over getting a screen shot or concept set that looks good

[tall coral]

The VO ai narration

[storm kernel]

I can't stand AI narration it's so lame and devoid of emotion

[exotic hamlet]

I'm no AI moralist but slop is slop. Incredibly dumb to generate a thumbnail for a videogame. Every time I hear an AI voice, I can't watch the video--especially if they do that insanely stupid thing where they have the captions display only one word at a time. Sensationalist clickbait nonsense for lobotomites.

[tall coral]

We all are bots here

[celest blaze]

ONG haha and how it speaks can be dumb like we say "365 days" it said "3-6-5 days"

[storm kernel]

some 1984 type shi

[ashen compass]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the reticle dot even if you have it turned off? mine has shown up after the update and i can't get rid of it

[storm kernel]

also sometimes it just trips up on basic words and phrases and reads them out letter by letter

[exotic hamlet]

There's a particular AI voice that grates me more than all others. It's the one that's used in a lot of "demonstration" videos where the voice just yaps about what's happening on screen as if we don't have a video to see what's happening. The voice sounds constantly excited and his this really dumb, fake-sounding accent.

[hollow hull]

Guys stalker 2 is fixed we got fish tornado anomaly now yeeee

[drowsy blade]

Fishing update confirmed

[celest blaze]

Finally.. good content..

[storm kernel]

only thing STALKER needed 🔥

[dire dagger]

Yah we should just kill those people

There robots anyways

Killing robots isn’t illegal

[storm kernel]

dropping NOTHING but straight facts

[storm kernel]

"erm but if robots become sentient-ACK!" they're still buckets of metal, bolts, and programming, it's their purpose to serve us humans

skynet better put the fries in the bag or we finna have problems

[late yarrow]

Can’t wait for my collector’s edition to come in, still another month 🫠

[storm kernel]

I wish I had the money to afford stuff like collectors editions

[late yarrow]

Bad decision making ordered mine lol

[celest goblet]

I came close to ordering one but it's probably for the best I didn't.

[dusky shard]

bloodsuckers just live everywhere now

[late yarrow]

I missed the fist drop but I just had to have it when the 2nd wave came around. I was probably late on a few things to get it, last time I’ll do that lol. But these waits suck

[dire dagger]

Yah you want rights stupid robot yah nah

Flip those fucken patties you damn loser fuck

[storm kernel]

I almost ordered the limited edition but with shipping it was almost like $100 USD so I just bought the deluxe edition

[somber juniper]

poll actually related to stalker :
#pc-specs message

[storm kernel]

wolf gonna touch u for that

[hardy bear]

No, mine’s the same. Did make a support ticket about it, so I’d recommend you do the same

[dire dagger]

Wolf can’t touch me

Im immortal

[storm kernel]

you're... The Immortal?

don't you die in like every fight 💀 😭

[celest goblet]

I ended up getting the digital ultimate edition instead. I don't need more physical stuff especially since I'll be moving end of the summer now

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[blazing pollen]

@glossy blade fix the UI!!!

[drowsy blade]

Brother pinging the CM like he has any say in what they’re working on actual clown behavior

[torpid wren]

But are you

[wind veldt]

How's the patch? Worth reinstalling?

[torpid wren]

https://tenor.com/view/invulnerable-gif-22484955

[dire dagger]

Not that one smh

[dire dagger]

Uh duh

I’m like 22

Basically 10000 years old

[drowsy blade]

If you last played in the 1.0 or 1.1 patches then it’s worth a retry imo

[mystic sigil]

@fervent coyote sorry for @ing you like this but seen you just updated MHM, should i use only oxa 2.0.3 and not updated 2.0.4?

[empty gorge]

brother, why not their mod post in gamma?

[mystic sigil]

erm when i last checked gamma discord i didnt see the mod post no more

[empty gorge]

ill dm it, most modders not quite active here

[mystic sigil]

yeah i know what ur talking abt but it was at the top of the gamma disc now i cant find it im a bit braindead

[empty gorge]

oh cant send dm, anyways look under "mod posts"

[mystic sigil]

my bad again just seen him online and seen him type in here before could of just made a post in his official mod nexus page ig

[empty gorge]

all good man you can ask here instead of there, just a heads up in case you didnt know especially with the 30 sec timer here seesh

[haughty loom]

Anyone elses radiation and bleeding damage bugged? It does zero damage

[dusky shard]

is there any way to fast travel?

[haughty loom]

Guides at outposts

[empty gorge]

look for markers mentioning guides in hubs

[mystic sigil]

nvm lmao he changed where it said 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 now

[dusky shard]

game never explained that

[haughty loom]

Yeah it took me awhile to find myself haha

[empty gorge]

game doesnt explain a lot tbh. was funny seeing reviews on day 1 mentioning no fast travel

[dusky shard]

im at shelter bc of the mission, bro does not want to take me

[celest goblet]

This game avoids explaining anything explicitly almost

[dire dagger]

It’s an iq test

Some people will fail the test

[celest goblet]

You get the basics in the tutorial and some general pointers in Zalissya and then you're on your own buddy

[zinc apex]

baby man

[empty gorge]

except the game has 117 tutorial popups that fail to properly trigger

[zinc apex]

is a-life in the game now? It's been a while

[weary token]

you can slot mac10 in your pistol slot, the rats swarm can be taken out with one grenade, unequipping all artifacts from your belt makes the electro ball stop chasing you.....etc these are not explained as well, but are there for you to find out

[clear raft]

I wouldn't call it A-life

[unreal raptor]

atomfall's difficulty options make me pine for something similar in Stalker 2. Would love a hardcore/surivial mode.

[zinc apex]

Atomfall

Hope it's going to be a banger

[placid spoke]

Will the game tell me when ive made it to the point of no return?

[dusky shard]

got a spas now

[celest goblet]

Yes

[worthy zodiac]

Yeah, I'm a-lifing all over the place in the current version of the game

[dusky shard]

After fighting a chimera in the arena, I’m cooked if I encounter 1

[empty gorge]

dw they are all scripted in vanilla

[dusky shard]

?

[zinc apex]

Spoiled all fun 🤣

[dusky shard]

The fact that 1 bloodsucker can take out a whole 10 guys and then the game puts 5 at ONE checkpoint where 2 guys are stationed is crazy

Bloodsuckers are scuffed

[empty gorge]

shouldve seen 1.0

[dusky shard]

I can only imagine

Does freedom have any missions other than the arena?

[worn oar]

Somewhat nearly feeling it. It's still under work, but AI is better now, far better.

[worn oar]

I remember the impossible 6 bloodsuckers vs me situation!! I walked in a rich man, and got out ragged with barely a bullet in my inventory.

[dusky shard]

What if they are hired by the factions in that region so you buy stuff from the shop

[empty gorge]

was funny looking on twitch seeing everyone get smacked by the first one (the ones playing on veteran)

[red adder]

Guys, I became Sidorovich, I have 100 canned food in my stash

[mystic sigil]

yh that first bloodsucker in the intro legit made me poop never played a stalker game until then think i died like 10 times to him

and the poltergeist on the ship omg i shit myself didnt know what was attacking me😂

[dusky shard]

the not monolith guys are wierd as hell

[sand fiber]

STAAAALKEEEEER

[rapid warren]

Yeah they were scary

[dusky shard]

drewski is the only reason i got this game, ong its fun as

[red adder]

I FINALLY FOUND ONE THE ARTIFACTS I NEED

[errant sandal]

guys how the performance? is it better now?

[mystic sigil]

people reported performance is worse

[finite dragon]

i reinstalled the game, and works ok now, i did not see any crash till now like it use to do before from time to time, random crashes.
