shadow venture
#

and all you have is a rookie village while the factions comes in waves

drifting plaza
#

you dont even have to be hated by all the factions, military in it's own keep coming in waves to kill the guys in rookie village

#

every single time I set foot in cordon, there is a fight going on over there

shadow venture
#

they usually get shotdown before they could even damage one of the rookies thought

#

since the rookies all have shotguns

#

and in COC it happens more frequently

#

i can say that because when i returned to cordon after dominating rostok

#

there was a bunch of soldier bodies next to the bus

#

and no dead stalkers

pseudo rivet
#

if they didn't help mercs and bandits

They are not friends with Bandits and they have a very shaky neutrality with the Mercenaries

rancid coyote
#

I mean
Only Wild Hounds (Wolfhound's team) was allied with bandits and still it was very unsure, mercs were using bandits as some low quality operators

Also Scar (probably) hired two bandits to help himself

pseudo rivet
#

We don't know if the Curs are affiliated with the Bandits, but I honestly doubt that. Likely the same client as CoP. We do know that Mercs and Bandits work together.

There's a gang of Mercs not far away, in Rostok. They hit it off with the bandits, so now they're scheming to block the passage through the plant. I don't need to tell you what a nuisance it is, it's got to be resolved straight away. The Duty guys and some of the old-timers have already gone to teach them a lessons, but we haven't heard from them in a while… So why don't you… eh… go and check on them. The money's good, too.

#

Know

#

Wolfhound's group

#

Just on the Wikia. Not sure if it's in game or not. I've yet to do a detailed playthrough of SoC

#

Yeah, thought so

#

Probably taken from the release version

#

That's... exactly what I said

#

It's probably taken from the release version, yeah

#

That's why we can't see it

#

Let's go in voice

unborn mist
#

In SoC you (strelok) are helping the ecologists to get the anti emissions helmet to calibrate and as a reward you get it. In Clear Sky, the same doctor in Yantar tells you (Merc Scar) that strelok was there very recently and helped them with the anti emissions device. Is the story catching up to be parallel?

grand pendant
#

nah, CS events happened long time before SoC events

pseudo rivet
#

It's because Strelok was using a gas mask, so Sakharov couldn't see his face

#

That's why he doesn't recognize him in SoC

rancid coyote
#

nah, CS events happened long time before SoC events
6-7 months

#

However I wouldn't really mind remembering faces of all stalkers that you meet trough your journey
So I'm not surprised in what Barkeep and Sakharov say

pseudo rivet

#

How do we use mods we downloaded for CS

#

I’ve never used any lol

unborn mist
#

Ah makes sense, thanks

#

@finite dragon Usually mods come with instructions, mostly it's an install or drag and drop for every stalker game so far

finite dragon
#

I see. thanks

finite dragon
#

bruh what’s this human running on his legs and arms. he is running at me. i think he loves me and wants to go on a date with me in the zone. although, he keeps moaning loudly.

guys i found some stash west from the circus anomaly

finite dragon
native ibex
#

Stashes

#

Made to disappoint

#

Base anomaly gives you a can of corn and some corroded ammo

#

So you can go head long into Monolith turf for a worn gun part

finite dragon
#

My least favourite thing about anomaly is the concept that "hurr rusted and corroded"

native ibex
#

I'm to believe that I'm the only man in the zone who likes to take care of their equipment

finite dragon
#

Like the zone is full of brand new stuff

native ibex
#

Aye

#

It'd be like one big gun show plus milsurp store

apparently my third gen nightvision does nothing in agroprom underground

#

wiping out the military outpost at cordon has never felt better

grand pendant
#

what mod are you playing btw?

iron rover
#

anomaly

robust forge
#

In anomaly, wiping out rookie village as a soldier never felt worse

#

Because of Hip

iron rover
#

I wiped out rookie village too
they shot at me GWskaipAngry

pseudo rivet
iron rover
#

the place I most regret raiding is the skadovsk

finite dragon
#

how far are you into the game?

iron rover
#

I wanted to have a chill time in there but free stalkers are hostile towards me

#

in anomaly im pretty much at the start of the main story and the merc main story

finite dragon
#

What faction are you playing

iron rover
#

but I did like a hundred other missions

#

so im maxed out on gear
im a merc

finite dragon
#

Join

grand pendant
#

remember, cool guys don't look at explosions

robust forge
#

But man

#

Hip is so bad

iron rover
#

a solid third of my kills are monolith bois, im sorry leaf

robust forge
#

Try to wipe out rookie village on a fresh start

#

from the military cordon

#

She doesn't simply go down

#

also idk if it's on;y my game but she runs fast

#

like

finite dragon
#

Hip shouldn't be in game tbh

robust forge
#

really fast

pseudo rivet
#

So, basically a mini-boss

iron rover
#

isnt she carrying a pea shooter

grand pendant
#

if only her character made sense

robust forge
#

It doesn't

#

She's put in there for the simps

#

where did I have it...

finite dragon
#

I modded her to have the cleavage

#

Because why not

finite dragon
#

If im gonna go with immersion breaking bs I might as well make my pp hard

iron rover
#

I think she was the first one I gunned down because she popped up in front of me

#

out of nowhere

robust forge
#

I saw her run through the whole lenght of Rookie Village in less than 3 seconds

finite dragon
#

hi

Heya

do any of you know stalker shadow of chernobyl

obviously

pseudo rivet

Yes

rancid coyote
finite dragon
#

theres a bug

pseudo rivet
#

Obviously

finite dragon
#

and

iron rover
#

must be chugging 5 energy drinks every 10 minutes

finite dragon
#

its really annoying me

rancid coyote
#

Which one?

finite dragon
#

STALKER Shadow of chernobyl

#

On Steam

rancid coyote
#

Also consider bugs as feature

pseudo rivet
#

What bug?

rancid coyote
#

What bug

finite dragon
#

Literally

#

I was near the power plant, where I was doing like a mission

iron rover
#

bugs can be fun
until they freeze your pc completely and you have to turn it off with the start button

finite dragon
#

I was supposed to meet these guys

#

I wasnt armed

#

I have guns but

#

I had a bolt in my hand

#

and when i walked up to them

#

slowly

#

they started gunning me down

#

like

#

wth

iron rover
#

you dont point a bolt at your fellow stalker

finite dragon
#

I did

#

not

pseudo rivet
#

What area?

rancid coyote
#

Are you sure this wasn't Monolith?

finite dragon
#

Im sure

pseudo rivet

I'm thinking he's referring to CS

rancid coyote
pseudo rivet
#

You know, Dark Valley

finite dragon
#

Im going to try and record it

#

Wait here

#

Ill be like 2 hours

iron rover
#

isnt dark valley primarily inhabited by bandits

pseudo rivet
#

Not in CS

grand pendant
#

iirc in CNPP there are only monolith and military (for a while), both quite hostile

rancid coyote
#

Yup

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

let me dm crimson

#

the picture

pseudo rivet
#

Alright

iron rover
#

I wonder if its weird that I have better relations with freedom than I have with my own merc faction

pseudo rivet
#

Probably the amounts of missions you completed for them

finite dragon
#

Freedom loves everyone except bandits and mercs

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

iron rover
#

mfw im a merc

pseudo rivet
#

And Renegades, of course

iron rover
finite dragon
#

anybody else noticed that alot of people are now moving on to Metrovault

pseudo rivet
#

Shaky neutrality

finite dragon
#

well

#

metro exedus

#

especially

iron rover
#

as much as I love the metro series I will never neglect stalker

finite dragon
#

stalker has always been my favourite

iron rover
#

it gives off a very homely feeling

#

to me personally

finite dragon
#

Yeah

iron rover
#

no other series has done that

grand pendant
#

well, the next area you usually go as a merc is the warehouses, and freedom quests are cool

finite dragon
#

I was literally going to say

#

That

#

When i think of stalker

iron rover
#

I just feel very cozy and comfortable when thinking about stalker

finite dragon
#

Im always like at my desktop in a nice chair on a saturday or im off

#

when playing stalker

iron rover
#

was limansk north of dead city? I forgot
full of monoliths, tight spaces and anomalies

pseudo rivet
#

Lore-wise, it is

finite dragon
#

monoliths piss me off

pseudo rivet
#

Not sure how it is in mods

#

Probably the same

iron rover
#

I think it is, I havent been to limansk in a while

finite dragon
#

"Monoliths piss me off"

#

Well bud

#

You're on a Monolith Server

finite dragon
#

oh

#

Nope

#

Rule 3

#

Can't swear here

finite dragon
#

oh god

#

ok

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

iron rover
#

if I wasnt a merc id definitely be a monolith

#

whats with that rule btw?

this is a Monolith Server

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

A member of the Monolith is a Monolithian

median rock
#

It's Freedom's territory

iron rover

if only I could traverse yantar and radar without having to haul an additional SEVA suit everywhere

those things are heavy

ground textures are kinda eh

but the rest is really great

iron rover
#

deranged shotgun guy is pretty cool what do u mean nerf

finite dragon
#

i think that nobody realises how this game became a thing

#

well you do but

pseudo rivet
iron rover
#

Roadside Picnic

finite dragon
#

do you ever think that some retard who was a plant manager

#

called dyatlov

#

caused this

#

game

#

to be a thing

#

Not really

iron rover
finite dragon
#

and also around 93,000 people to get cancer

#

and around 40 to die of ARS

#

It was Roadside Picnic, then Stalker that is the reason STALKER exists

iron rover
#

does anyone else think the labs are the scariest maps in the game

finite dragon
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

iron rover
#

right next to the pripyat tunnels

finite dragon
mystic ridge
#

@finite dragon that's a pretty shallow take

pseudo rivet
#

Pripyat 1 wasn't that scary, tbh

iron rover
#

the wide open spaces make me nervous

finite dragon
#

I found Jupiter Underground to be pretty spookly

rancid coyote
#

Imo stalker lacks "dead" places

pseudo rivet
#

Do the Pripyat 1 run with an SVUmk-2, like I did

mystic ridge
#

it's a great choice ^

#

btw

rancid coyote
#

Also Pripyat-1 isn't scary

iron rover
#

I remember when I had to fight 5 burers and a controller in one of the bigger wide rooms in agroprom underground

mystic ridge
#

Jupiter plant is great

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, the SVUmk-2 is pretty great

mystic ridge
#

I like how empty it is

#

the suspense is real

rancid coyote
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, Jupiter Plant is pretty neat

mystic ridge
#

and of course Misery ruins it

rancid coyote
#

Jupiter area was the best map in CoP

mystic ridge
pseudo rivet
#

I'm personally more a fan of Zaton

iron rover
#

I like truck cemetery

pseudo rivet
#

But Jupiter is great for getting overwhelmed by mutants

rancid coyote
#

Jupiter takes parts from every stalker map

Also Zaton is ugly

grand pendant
#

yes, Zaton is the best part of the game ngl

finite dragon
#

A spider is at my desk

#

a big one

pseudo rivet
#

Catch it and take it outside

rancid coyote
#

I like truck cemetery
I like it too
But

  1. It's from mod
  2. 1:1 real location
  3. Bad optimization
finite dragon
#

oof

#

my dog ate it

grand pendant
#

The area around Jupiter is nice too, but Zaton is quite cozy

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

Plus, it's a treasure trove for artifacts

iron rover
#

whats bad about it being a real location

rancid coyote
#

Zaton is very ugly imo
And has bad design

#

whats bad about it being a real location
Nothing

#

Just saying

iron rover
#

hmmm

rancid coyote
#

I'm wondering what is the building at the north of it

finite dragon
#

1:1 real location is good

iron rover
#

pripyat and dead city are one of my favorite maps
probably because I also live in a commie city block neighborhood lol

finite dragon
#

Outskirts is my favourite, followed by CNPP and Cordon

pseudo rivet
#

Agroprom has to be my favorite map in the series

finite dragon
#

I play a game

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

Agroprom is great too

#

Its where youre at CHNPP

rancid coyote
#

Cordon from ShoC is definitely one of my favourite maps
Also ShoC maps >>> CS maps

finite dragon
#

You have full control of the reactor

grand pendant
#

my favourite places have to be Cordon and Garbage

finite dragon
#

Full map

#

Full reactor

#

And if you mess it up

#

boom

iron rover
#

I dont like rostok

finite dragon

and its epic to see the side effects

because duty is there and duty is stinky

pseudo rivet

Post a monolith one

I'm wondering
How difficult would be making the Zone in VR Engine (Arma 3)
60 km² ain't much + labs + cordon + eventual outside

pseudo rivet

#

Good

rancid coyote
#

I dont like rostok
By Rostok you mean Wild Territory, Rostok or Rostok Factory?

@pseudo rivet post the pripyat mp map

pseudo rivet

Build Rostok is one of the best maps
Entirely focused on abandoned factory

pseudo rivet
#

Pripyat MP is the only map I don't have, unfortunately

#

Pripyat MP is really cool, though

rancid coyote
#

There are 2 iirc

finite dragon
#

Is it in CS?

pseudo rivet
#

Just CoP

finite dragon
#

could anybody imagine fallling into a gas planet

#

like iron rain

rancid coyote
#

Also shame on GSC for not including Lazurniy pool into the singleplayer

#

It's a great map

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

Nah

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

That's the small/covered pool

#

Actually interesting place

#

Seems like a lab

#

Or whatever

finite dragon
#

do you know that game roblox

rancid coyote
#

Also lots of anomalies so that's a +1 from me

finite dragon
#

there is a CHNPP game

#

i found

#

its very realistic

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

I still have PTSD from CNPP ShoC PvP game

#

Yeah, Sports centre

#

That's Lazurniy pool from Pripyat

pseudo rivet
#

The one that intrigues me the most is Training Camp

rancid coyote
#

I still have PTSD from CNPP ShoC PvP game
It's actually 100% Monolith experience
You get snipped from the chimney by some other player

#

It's a giant map, even on 32/64 players

#

And usually there is about 12

finite dragon
#

@tired anvil

rancid coyote
#

And everyone has TOZ 34 at the beginning

#

So it's meme

#

Also in Deathmatch you have other skin options

#

Not just some merc and freedom

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

Stalker MP be like
Mercs are usually winning
Freedom snipes everybody
Some morons get straight into anomalies

#

Is it a no-no word?

pseudo rivet
#

I don't see why

rancid coyote
#

However MP is pretty balanced

#

Mercs have better guns but limited
And freedom unlocks snipers earlier

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

It's fun, you should try it smile_scar

#

Standard division

#

Mercs have NATO guns

#

Freedom Russian ones

pseudo rivet
#

And Freedom Warsaw, yes

grand pendant
#

ar vs ak

pseudo rivet
#

But both unlock the Vintar BC at Experienced

rancid coyote
#

In CS

#

I usually play ShoC

pseudo rivet
#

And CoP

rancid coyote
#

And there Vintar is exclusive for freedom

pseudo rivet
#

Weird

rancid coyote
#

Also for unknown reason I can't play CoP MP

#

Weird
Balance imo

pseudo rivet
#

Nah, lore-wise

rancid coyote
#

Mercs at the beginning have way better guns

#

But freedom unlocks snipers earlier
And later they have 9x39

#

However mercs have more customization options - GLs mostly

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

Both factions have same armor

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

rancid coyote
#

So to difference enemies and friends

#

Also to avoid friendly fire

pseudo rivet
#

I know

#

But, like, why does the armband look like a surgical mask?

rancid coyote
#

They're not so bright, you can hide with it pretty well

pseudo rivet
#

I understand that

#

But the shape

#

Why does it look like a surgical mask?

rancid coyote
#

Idk
The most popular MP map are probably Army Warehouses

#

Good design
90% of the time it turns into trying to capture the building

#

The problem are spawns imo

#

They're pretty random

#

Also shotguns and pistols are pretty useless
Ok, shotguns can be op

#

You can shred ppl

#

CS MP is fine

#

But maps can be pretty dark and for some reason you can't buy a flashlight/NVG in this game

#

Idk how about CoP cuz I can't play it for some reason

#

I like one map

#

Idk the name

#

Limansk variation

#

Fire Station?

#

It's sniper paradise

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

Also RPG spawns on the top of the tower

#

Yeah

#

In CS it's great

#

Also

#

Maps are a bit different in ShoC and CS

#

Orher buildings are opened

#

And some stuff is in other places

#

ShoC one is better imo

#

Om the left you have merc base, on the right - freedom one

#

Freedom spawns underground and they can go in 4 ways iirc

#

Or to the building in the back to snipe

#

Or to the building in front to snipe

#

Or on the left to flank

#

And on the right to CQB

#

Mercs are playing very offensively

#

Also usually both teams are invading spawn points of each other

#

In night this mal is great, everyone is sneaking up on each other

#

And you see just gunfire

#

Nice of you have team on Discord or whatever

#

Teamwork

#

Hmmm
I'm wondering
How difficult would be making the Zone in VR Engine (Arma 3)
60 km² ain't much + labs + cordon + eventual outside
.

#

Also there is Area of Decay mod for DayZ

#

Which adds Stalker locations and mutants

#

But I want proper Zone

pseudo rivet
#

Well, you'll have to create everything that you see on the maps, including everything you don't see

#

This includes stuff that can't be accessed

rancid coyote
#

Well
Altis map has 270 km²
So I think this will take only [sample text] years, I'll release it just after RoH and S4

pseudo rivet
rancid coyote
#

We need more folklore of the Zone
Stories
People
Descriptions

#

However explaining everything would ruin it

#

Zone has to remain mysterious, unexplained
Idk the word
Maiden-like?

#

You can say it right? Maiden forests, mountains etc

#

mountains

#

Crimea Oblivion Lost flashbacks

#

Hey, Zak's back!

pseudo rivet
#

Anyways, yeah

#

Enigmatic

rancid coyote
#

I mean
You're just travelling through the forest, alone
Everything is quiet
You throw bolt after bolt
You don't have detector of course
Everything you hear is just a Geiger counter
And you stumble upon an abandoned bakery
With a tall chimney
You decide to climb it
View is awesome, you spotted some artifacts and a campfire in the horizon
It's just you and the Zone
You climb down
And you're in a completely different place
Lost to the Zone
Such is life in there.

@silver arrow Спс

rancid coyote
#

Adter hard beginning in Cordon, dirt of Garbage, horror in the Agroprom underground and first serious fight in the Institute, when you reach it, at first you're scared of noise, armoured guards
But when you go into the bar, you hear climatic music and talking stalkers

#

Chilling experience

finite dragon
#

Yeah

#

It fills you with relief

#

Knowing you're safe for the first time

rancid coyote
#

Hmmm
ShoC is definitely my favourite game
But now I've realized why I like its endings so much

They're very personal
||Strelok|| leaves everything behind. Sid, Wolf, Nimble, Borov
It's his journey and he will end it

Just...
One stalker went to the deep Zone
We haven't seen him for a long time
I wonder if he's dead
Such is life

#

Clear Sky ending is very "global" and impactful, it changes the whole Zone

#

And CoP has no cutscenes, just images - it's nice, it looks like some military documents
However it sums up everything, explains it

And I don't really like it

finite dragon
#

if you are nice in the zone, you have got something to hide.

#

CoP is short.... too short.

Are you using Gauss?

unborn mist
#

Yes

Got him down to like 30% but doesn't want to go lower

rancid coyote

Hmm
Try reloading the save
Also remember that you can shoot at him at the same beginning of the mission, just before cutscene

#

Attempting now without going through the portals to dedicate more time to him

Do what you think is the best
Remember that you'll be under fire

I remember my playtrough of CS ending section

So before entering Limansk I returned and got some stuff

#

FN F2000 from Suslov, eco from Agroprom trader

#

So in Limansk I've had exo, Bulat and 5 different guns iirc

#

FN F2k best gun

rancid coyote

After going trough hospital I've left exo and some stuff

#

And in Bulat with 4 guns I went to hunt for Strelok

unborn mist
#

Thanks, reloading the save from the level start worked

rancid coyote
#

I've had FN F2000, Groza, Sig 550, Scar's Vintorez, SVD + Deagle and Makarov
Also I've picked up PKM in Limansk
So I was very limited in weight lmao

#

Ah, and Spas 12

#

So at the end of Hospital I've left exo, PKM, SVD, Groza and Sig
I've had little ammo

"doesn't change anything important" the gunplay in a shooter isn't important?

How do you disable bulk grabbing in CoP?

In what vanilla?

#

I don't remember there being an option to do that in vanilla, but it's been a while since I played without mods, :o

sharp maple
#

Yeah in vanilla atm. When there's let's say 3 enemies on the ground and all their weapons drop in close proximity to each other, even if I just tap F, it will pick them all up.

#

Thought so, what mods go about fixing it?

#

Okay, thanks for the info though, might just have to deal with it.

#

I mean I have plenty of space but I'd just rather pick up items individually

#

lol

pseudo rivet
#

Just gotta travel lighter, so you have more room for the weapons. Afterwards, just right-click these rifles to unload them and drop them

sharp maple
#

Alright i'll do that, I think i'm just not used to it I guess.

pseudo rivet
#

*unload, by the way

#

In case you have anything you don't use, I'd say store it somewhere

#

Which game are you currently playing?

#

Ah, I see

CoP

Yeah, you can definitely ditch some unneeded equipment in CoP

Things like too much ammo, medkits, anti-rads, vodka, food, etc.

I usually just carry around 20-30 KG

Same thing kinda applies to SoC, but to a lesser extent

What’s the lore behind ExoSkeletons?

pseudo rivet

An experimental sample of a military exoskeleton. Was never mass-produced due to extraordinary cost and some design flaws. Despite this, it is in demand due to its ability to take on the weight of all carried equipment, and therefore small batches are made in underground facilities outside Ukraine. Comes with a built-in artifact container.

Hey guys

Hello :]

native ibex
#

Sa, dewwwd

iron rover
#

I wonder what the best gun in anomaly is

open lintel
#

There really is no "best gun",
mostly because every gun can outperform another based on situation.

3 main factors will dictate what the best gun is.
Situation / Skill / Playstyle (Or comfortability.)

Based on the situation, you might have needs for close/medium/long range.
Then it comes to skill. Can you effectively use a high powered pistol that could be good for cqc? Or would a spray suit you better with a shotgun to hit smaller targets. Playstyle ties heavily into what your skill regions are going to be.

Even if your skill cap is at the highest, the "best" weapon would still be different from person to person.

#

--
However, that's prolly not what you really were asking :p,
In terms of raw strength you will probably get told the gauss rifle.

asking in general you might get told the PMm Gang xd

finite dragon
#

every encounter is close quarters unless it’s not.

untold loom
#

always have one weapon for CQC and one for longer ranges with you

open lintel
#

hmm yes, the floor here is made out of floor

untold loom
#

this is the best advice for stalker I can give anyone, ever

open lintel
#

CQC, Short Range, Medium Range, Long Range, Ultra Long Range
are all completely different.

#

CQC is not so much a range, more so it's a scenario of combat tho..

#

I mean yeah, it's limited to short/medium

untold loom
#

shotgun or AR and sniper rifle, this a set I recomend

open lintel
#

Yeah, my loadout includes a scoped assault rifle, shotgun, and a sniper rifle

#

pistols are pretty much useless

#

they don't exactly bring anything to the table, where other weapons completely outclass them. Due to it being a video game ofc :p

untold loom
#

unless it's big ben

open lintel
#

Depends alot of personal preference though too

untold loom
#

of course

iron rover
#

I don't really need skill in CQC as my gun just kills everything instantly at point blank range

If pistols did not have the severe limitations of attack speed attached, they could potentially be nice

iron rover

shotguns in CoP have a crazy range

grand pendant
#

as sniper it has quite weird flatness, but you'll never need to kill someone from a mile away in the game

pseudo rivet
#

Only thing would be the inability to use a SUSAT scope, but that just means you have a bigger FoV

open lintel
#

but my fav always was Aug / Vector (damn, can't remember the name of that ak shotgun) / VSK bullpup

I didn't say the player, but other NPCs could be properly affected and present them as a real threat rather than just a 'peek-and-shoot' thing.
Most mutants will probably be reworked or made better than the trilogy

Lore is a pretty neat way to implement stuff that is too hard to create in a game or so minor that it wouldn't add to the game

tired anvil

Beucase when you think about it, the games are a mess the way they work

Like SoC took 7 years to make and CS and CoP were made in like a year

native ibex

But they had assets

So now that GSC is actually taking some time + an engine that is known to actually work lol, I kinda expect more stuff to work

finite dragon
#

Lab X-8 was a maze my dude.

tired anvil
#

CoP was also kinda rushed, but yeah

#

Hence GSC also thinks of the 2 as more so DLC than actual games

Which I find pretty dumb

#

Not in the eyes of GSC

In their eyes, it's just "STALKER 1"

tired anvil

yes imagine stalker 2

I swear if the burers get any harder to kill I would stay away from all of them

#

They're definitely not sequels, properly

If CS and CoP were DLC, then we can call actual DLCs "Mini DLCs"

That's mini-DLC for you.
Nah that's juts an event

I mean, some of the stuff of it is neat

Most games also give prizes during such “events”

pseudo rivet
#

But, like, it honestly should've already been in the game

tired anvil
#

Sometimes $$$ type prizes GWchadLENNYTHINK

pseudo rivet
#

And the ones that are actually big enough to be called a "Mini DLC" are usually poorly designed

tired anvil
#

They are still here

#

Just not in every case, just like back then

pseudo rivet
#

Well, DLCs are supposed to add something to an already finished game

#

But nowadays it's just used in tandem with a "Roadmap"

tired anvil

Props to the games making dlc actually just extra stuff that you don't need for the base game

#

Like gun skins or whatever

I'm not going to pay real money for just one skin
