Sup
There is a bandit who wears Sunrise suit. Does that make Sunrise not a stalker suit anymore or what?
One of the bandits wears that to trick you
Also, yeah, there's a Bandit with an Exoskeleton and an RP-74
His name is Red
Red's dead
from the trailer i thought the graphics would be a little something like the telltale graphics but a little better
@rocky night
Telltale graphics? Telltale Games? Cartoonish style?
I want one bottle of that beer of yours
Cell shaded STALKER
Everyone sees things as cell shaded because of the zone's effects
Someone knows why in stalker steam version
It won’t take an screenshot even if I hit F12?
Go to your files
Generally you need to launch Steam as admin for f12 to work I believe
But stalker does screenshots with f12 as well and saves them in a folder
Shift+tab won't work either for example
Ok thx
q
Hey guys
I have 1 free doom3 and dont know what to do with it will you guys help me with it?
bandit exo exists and we know that
@past shuttle bandits do not have a unique exo model.
His name is Red
@pseudo rivet he's got no unique name.
where
The Bandits you encounter directly when you enter Limansk
@mild owl
Ray tracing doesnt make a game.
@solid dome
I know, but, I'm still hyped for it
Anuu cheeki breeki?
Ano
stalker 2 is gonna be xbox exclusive?
conflicting reports
why tf are 11 people in vc? xD
Do we have system specs for stalker 2 yet???
No
It's probably gonna be unreal 4 levels of specs so I prob can't run it anyway 🙄
Uhhh guys, my game worked just fine last night and today it won't launch past the launcher? (anomaly)
Hey bro, do you get any errors or anything like that when running it?

@finite dragon thank you Nyx, but after going through thousands of files I found out that my games was generating an empty file that ultimately crashed the whole game, deleted it and it works like a charm now! Thank you though!
Of course man!
I’m just saying there better be a over under shot gun and the vss in the game
Hey guys
Do you know if there is a stalker album on Apple Music and if there is what is name
I don't think there is one tbh
I might be wrong but I don't recall one on Spotify, so I'm not sure about Apple Music either
The Bandits you encounter directly when you enter Limansk
@pseudo rivet he's talking about the ambush bandits.
They're different from the group you encounter later.
And also, even if these guys are "Red's people", why would you think the machine gunner is their leader?
I don't recall him stating that 
I don't recall him stating that :GWseremePeepoThink:
@tired anvil you should be glad I always have dialogues unpacked.
Thanks for saving my ass. Looks like you're going to town. Watch out - Red's people set up an ambush on the street ahead. They tied a wire next to a car - don't trip over it. Keep to the right side of the street and you'll pass unharmed.
Bruh Moment
Then be glad.
If they are referring to Red's guys, then that means that Red is their leader
Uhhh guys, my game worked just fine last night and today it won't launch past the launcher? (anomaly)
@glacial quartz this conversation should be in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications and I'll die on that hill.
One of the guys in the ambush. Not the squad further.
And tank is not always the leader. Strider's squad is a perfect example.
What squad further?
Man. Red's guys are from an ambush near the second smart terrain.
The ones you encounter later (including the one with RP-74) are from the third one.
If they're referring to Red's squad, that means that one of the ambush bandits should be Red. And even that is not certain since he might no be there, that might just be his people.
Vanilla lads sorting things out is interesting
It's literally the second encounter in Limansk
Vanilla lads sorting things out is interesting
@tired anvil ever been to C-Con? A whole separate vanilla channel with bans for mod mentions. My paradise.
Neat
Everywhere else the convos get derailed by people asking help with anomaly.
Annoys the hell out of me.
You mean where Maxine is admin?
Yeah, stalkervoir.
Yeah been there, though never discussed much

That's where the boar map came from. A guy asked me how do these things worked, I explained it to him and made a map.
Cool, I liked that map
It's literally the second encounter in Limansk
@pseudo rivet where can I upload pics?
Offtop is a great place
Dang
@sturdy jolt my apologies
wait are they working on stalker two?
also will stalker 2 be levels or will it be just one big map open on itself
Yes, they are working on stalker2
Make sure to look around at #📗┃s2-faq for some questions answered

Largest seamless open worlds...
I wonder if it's actually just small, and had absolutely no loading screens.
Hi
Hi chatool
sdalger
Huh?
bruh


Do we play as strelok in stalker 2?

roger roger
mmm monkey
@dense phoenix still want that faction change?
can someone help me with a stalker SoC mod issue , if so dm me
I have telepathically linked one of the devs lurking thoughts on the question as they glanced at it, and you switch protagonists depending how far in the game you are
This ain't GTA
By the way, there is mutant playlable addon in COC.
But I wonder who will be protagonist of Stalker 2. In original Stalker 2, it was supposed to be some guy, forgot his name ,who was supposed to kill Strelok? Then it was supposed to be Strelok himself. I wonder who it will be now or if completely different character.
I wouldn´t even mind possibility of creating our one, like COC does that.
I'm hoping for a new character
Though instead of choosing our own faction, we would start as Loners and could choose our faction later or our relationships with them.
But I wonder who will be protagonist of Stalker 2. In original Stalker 2, it was supposed to be some guy, forgot his name ,who was supposed to kill Strelok?
He got blamed for killing Strelok
But he didn't
I hope that they will do factions like in COP, which means that we will be able to choose who we want to help and who not and not like in SOC, where majority of relationships is preset.
You mean CS faction wars?
Ah, blamed for killing Strelok. So originally Strelok was supposed to be dead? 🤔
Yes
I hope that they will do factions like in COP, which means that we will be able to choose who we want to help and who not and not like in SOC, where majority of relationships is preset.
You don't join them, though
Nah, side quests at COP. Where you can usually choose which factions to help.
You pay him a visit, you leave his office and he explodes
That's just befriending them
Then you get blamed for ending Strelok because you were the last one to see him
It B wat it B

Having everybody hate us would suck.
The Witcher 2 did similar thing (protagonist was blamed for murdering a king), but there isn´t openworld, nor faction system.
Don't forget the possibility of a new faction
That can always spice things up
Or be a half baked idea and flop lmao
At least at ending of COP new faction is formed of the former Monolithians, if you bring them from Jupiter to Pripyat.
Genuinely curious what would the motives of a new faction/factions be
So they could take appearance in Stalker 2.
Yep.
I imagined them to become a faction as well
But they were only said to be a group, not a faction
So for all we know they could've just died before properly forming one
Honestly, I can't wait to see the faction models
I would like to see the faction patches in 4k
If Duty doesn't use Steel Helmets, I'mma be mad
Respect to Reginald for just doing reactions because he can only write every 30 seconds lmao
Isn't it 10 seconds?
Saw that Nucleas you posted Crimson
Testing it...
Aka Legion
Legion, this about Fallout?
game
And I thought that loading a level on change is crash-free. Guess not...
did they say anything about new weapons?
No
new protaganist?
No clue
@pseudo rivet i love you

Kek

Same
No i don't want patches,Where are the base Anomaly versions
Can someone help me out,I don't understand any thing
Where is the Download,I don't want the patches and the updates.
Anomaly is standalone mod indeed.
@finite dragon bro anomaly is standalone you have to download all parts then updates and hotfix. Otherwise without updates and stuff you'll be playing a previous buggy version of the game. That's not optional, you have to download them in order to play.
I don't know why you would need the "base" version without updates lol
This mod is garbage. Call of Chernobyl is way better.
@finite dragon anomaly is literally call of chernobyl with a lot more stuff
call of chernobyl is only a "base" for a lot of big modifications
it can't be better than anomaly lol
Click here and download Parts 1-3, then Update 4 and hotfix 8
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads
No,No more anomaly.
Unpack all the files and drop in one folder 
I ain't downloading this Mod.
whatever lol
Well, some people are too lazy to install the mod properly as I see... 🤦♂️
Though it´s annoying indeed.
OGSE has same issue.
there's a torrent version too if i remember correctly
Though about Anomaly, I have noticed one thing - its launcher also has updater in itself. Could be patches downloaded that way? 🤔
As it checks all .db files in mod and should update them, but idk how it works.
all main parts via torrent and then download updates via moddb
btw is not that complicated lol
@hazy raven Alright Kiddo,I ain't waiting 21 hours to download a mod.
Still annoying though.
Currently my Internet is fucked up
I see...
Though then there is another problem - when a mod has unfinished update, which breaks it somehow and you download the update, thinking how it´s better than previous version (COC and OGSR update for OGSE).
I like COC for it's simplicity.
I like more story mods though than just sandbox ones. As I´ll eventually find COC boring.
yep
Also story mods work more with the mystery of the zone.
anomaly has a wonderful story mode
Yep, Lost to the zone trilogy addon + randomly generated one.
COC since version 1.4 has storymode too, but just copypated one from SOC.
It can get weird if you play through it as Ecologist though (Military being suddenly hostile to you in X18 labs).
you can download Lost to the zone and dx questlines in CoC as addons
I think I tried once, but didn´t managed to run it. Or did I?
But I´d prefer Anomaly which has it all implemented for me and runs on X64 engine.
but then is way better to play them already added to the mod (anomaly)
So it has more RAM to work with.
oh ofc
another thing that makes anomaly waaaaaaaay waaay better than coc and other standalone sandboxes based on coc is the 64-bit engine
I wonder if Grass on max details would cause stuttering on X64 engine. Won´t going to try that though, as I want to see items and corpses on ground.
I only wonder if dynamic relationships in Anomaly can break story mode. 🤔
It won´t never come probably, as team disbanded mid development of it.
yeah
It´s interesting though how they went much far beyond the original concept and then suddenly disbanded. Though I have read that the reason was due X64 engine.
people is posting addons
Everybody can post them.
i can create an addon for a 2008 mod too lol
I don´t know if some addons are made by COC team, but mostly other modders post them there, as that´s one of the original concepts of the mod. Make it as platform for modders.
Still waiting for the Official COC 1.5 Version.
Epic Team is rip
Also Anomaly has addon support too. (Doesn´t support COC ones though).
Rest in piece Call of Chernobyl.
I wonder if Grass on max details would cause stuttering on X64 engine. Won´t going to try that though, as I want to see items and corpses on ground.
@hazy raven
I play on all settings on max except grass ones which i keep default otherwhise fps would go from normal 70-80 to 20 lol
I really wonder why they did overdo the grass. I hope that Stalker 2 won´t have this issue.
I really hope someone keeps Call of Chernobyl out there,There must be a follower that stood.
on default grass settings you still have some great grass and landscape
Isn´t Anomaly and Dead Air sort of follower?
yeah lol
Dead Air with Mysery and Anomaly as expanded COC?
@finite dragon if you don't like anomaly (idk why) at least try dead air or one of these
pretty much more complete and challenging
Dead Air,Anomaly are garbage. Misery is that i like.
I mean, CoC is basically a maps pack to mod, not interesting at all. DA, CoM, Anomaly, etc are following its legacy
I have read. What are then differences between Dead Air and Anomaly in terms of Misery implementation? 🤔
difficulty level is misery
Not at all kek, Anomaly is way easier than Misery, no matter what settings you choose. Since you can get end game level gear in the Cordon or Garbage
Both are easy mods anyway, but Misery keeps the good stuff for later
but you have to play a lot
Not quite, i played for 2-3 hours and got a nosorog 
there's a Stash Overhaul addon that makes end game gear available in stashes in early game but is immersion breaking
default stash/corpse looting doesn't reward you with end game gear
Didn't use that really, just got it from a dead monolith guy
Really hope There is something made out of COC
Found some repair kit and got it 80%
It's been a while.
CoC is dead already, honestly. Better to leave it like that by now
I can't.
Try Hybrid, pretty cool mod
It's a part of me.
@grand pendant mmmm ok that makes sense. In this case i'd try to play more realistically
i'd never repair a monolith nosorog from a corpse
Hybrid? What is that? 🤔
you can do that, but is unrealistical. I just try to go progressive with gear and weapons
CoC/Misery based with a lot of other addons for CS
Though it's better to download COC.I don't want to wait 21 hours for Anomaly.
@finite dragon try torrent lol
you can do that, but is unrealistical. I just try to go progressive with gear and weapons
@woven jungle indeed, that is why Anomaly is easier than Misery
It's the same.
Didn't you already play it though?
He couldn't find the download for Anomaly
When he did he started
Then cancelled
So he didn't play it
Then why did you say to not recommend it? It is a nice mod, honestly. I just don't like it, but you should try it
He doesn't know how to download it so he decided that CoC is better lol
It's too hard for my under 100 iq brain
He doesn't know how to download it so he decided that CoC is better lol
Basically what happened
You said you liked Misery, Anomaly is basically Misery + CoC. Can't be that hard
I wonder what CoM is, then
If it is about download, i can get you a repack in 1 link
COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.
CoM is too CoC + Misery but more faithful to Misery
COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.
You didn't even play them
COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.
@finite dragon 0/10 try harder lol
He needs to try before he can try harder
hey guys is there a video for stalker 2 gameplay yet?
negative
rip
Not yet. It probably isn´t done yet.... Without it breaking apart.
will s2 have linux support? 
That´a very good question...
indeed, although wine is available, it is not always as smooth as windows experience
Some games are optimized for emulators instead (like No man´s sky). 🤔
Dead Air mod is going to be a high quality mod in the next update
anomaly is most polished mod
most stable mod , no doubt
besides those wellknown mods, there is AREA mod. also good
Isn't AREA wack regarding stability? As in lots of crashes
i play it just fine with default setting
60 rounds mag on a LR300 with full attachments.
Might be set to private or something
It uses TAZ 1.7.4, which is why it might crash a lot for some users. Good to know you don't have such issues, i haven't tried it so far
taz is going to be in anomaly next update
Dead Air just sucks
TAZ 2.0b works just fine, older versions are wack. Anomaly port should be aight
Next updated Dead Air is gonna be fun?
btw i don't know what does TAZ add
Lots of weapons
weapons? animations?
Ammo and magazines
Attatchments as well
Pretty ambitious project, it has so many models that quality is pretty low for some weapons
Censoring isn't allowed either btw
quality pretty low for some weapons
bad
i prefer less but well made weapons with good animations
Gunslinger for Anomaly :ahegao:
2.0b has over 700 weapons. So you can forget balance, some weapons you won't even use
i prefer more and realistic weapons
Meh, it is still worth it. The good stuff is pretty nice, such as PTRS1 anti tank rifle. Vintar variety as well, m1911's, etc
Alex needs to upgrade then shaders 
will there be zombie stalkers??
Probably
If there will be controllers and psi-emitters or emissions, it would make no sense without them.
which is quite probable 
extort rookies
In which game?
SoC

If you think that they are scary there, then wait for COP...
Wait till you play CS
In COP they are 100% invisible - you can´t see them. But you can hurt them when they are invisible, unlike SOC.
CS is generally considered the hardest game, so that will be fun for you
Also, in COP they have grab attack, which they can trigger either by charging on you or by attacking you from behind, which makes them drain your blood which heals them and damages you. So good luck fighting one with just a pistol.
Burers...
noooooooooooooooooo I dont like where this is going
And Chimera.
In which game?
@hazy raven agroprom underground?
yes
It basically restored some mutants from COP. But it dumbs down controller - no mental health and mostly no distortion effect on being hit by one or standing near him.
Ah man he probably hasn't encountered a Pseudogiant yet either
WHATS PSEUDOGIANT!?
Kek
Poltergeists are more cheaters though. (Attacking player through walls).
They do more than “attacking through walls”
I have almost forgot about mod Gunslighter, which seems to add more animations into COP. I wonder if anybody tried to implement it into COC/Anomaly. 🤔
Most Annoying faction in Stalker ?
Duty
I agree.
Kek
Best Faction ?
You don't learn do you
Most annoying? 🤔
Monolithians - there is too much of them at ending of SOC.
The best? Probably ecologists, who try to research the zone and find if it´s useful for humanity? Only problem is that they work for government and we know how governments like to abuse all these things. I wonder if Ecologists would split into their own faction if they would find out that government wants just abuse the zone. 🤔
@hazy raven Monolith have more men than bullet's.

You kill 10,Another 100 pop out.
Sincerely the best ending is Strelok killing the C-C.
And canon one.
best faction is Mercenary
Though I like how none of these true endings are shown as perfect.
autolike 4 me
Because if we ||join C-Con, nothing really changes for better. But if we destroy them, Strelok isn´t sure if he did right thing.||
||Also destroy C-con ending is only one where Strelok speaks.||
Best ending for SoC is Strelok dying
You mean achieving the main "goal" of the game? 
Strelok did what he did.If C-Con lived,The world would have been controlled .
C-Con controls the NovaSphere.
And now it will be absorbed by zone instead. Good work.
And C-Con don´t control it completely. They more messed up with it and it went wrong.
Destroying the C-Consciousness has made the Zone more unstable than before
Just not at the CS point yet
And I like how they even aren´t sure themselves what happens if you destroy them. I like how instead saying "Join us or you will die!" they say how they aren´t sure about what happens if you "decide otherwise".
That was original ending.
Strelok getting controlled by C-Con after being told truth, then leaving zone and telling some message through radio which would cause destruction outside the perimeter.
Weird ending though.
I wish that C-Con explained what we're the abominations of the zone.
Well, we are a "wheel that fell out of the machine".
You can see the human part in the creatures,The Snork was a Soldier,Aiming at how he looks.
This isn´t like in Darkwood where people are inprisoned inside and mutated.
There stalkers are people going into Zone for money from artifacts.
Wait Reginald,I have a theory what if Strelok just died when he entered the Facility.
Actually
Though I wonder if all mutants were created by experiments in labs or by zone from humans or if some of them were just nightmares going real.
I mean the dude litteraly walked into Reactor 4.
Some of the mutants were formerly criminals mutated by the Secret Service
As the zone was created by C-Con messing with Neosphere. And for example Bloodsuckers more looks like monsters from some Lovercraftian horror than former humans.
Wait Reginald,I have a theory what if Strelok just died when he entered the Facility.
Then why do we see him in CoP?
But what about the Reactor 4,You can't outlive a full blown reactor.
You can with right equipment... And tons of
!
With the right artifacts, you can
There is even quest about it in COP at Pripyat underground, before entering, you need to get right suit so you won´t glow too much.
Besides, it isn't the first time he went to the CNPP
I wanna point out something really,Look at Strelok's face in the Killing the C-Con Ending.
And aren´t there even people in real life making visits to CNPP as part of turism?
Btw the Wish Granter is located right next to the blown Reactor.
We are told by C-con that ||when stalker makes a wish, they take control over him and recruit him as the "agent", but before it could happen, stalker would die glowing while under the influence of illusions of the Wish granter.||
Garbage and it´s "radiation" walls on edge of maps.
But Wish Granter does same thing too. And has same goal. Put illusion so the stalkers won´t find truth.
Then what is the purpose of the Wish granter?
A Decoy.
The Zone dissapearing ending is...In my Opinion,It alters the time,Resulting in the accident's never happening.Though in that case Strelok and many others would not exist and they purpose on life to be only a normal citizen.
Problem only is that all Wishes granted are just ||illusions||.

But the most weird is the "Humanity must be controlled" wish.
Because in 🇷🇺 language it instead says "Humanity must be destroyed."
I wonder why they changed it for 🇬🇧 version. ||Because it is what happens. Everything gets destroyed and Strelok gets stuck in the void.||
Also one of things I liked how COC implemented Wish Granter.
Well, it's simple
There you can really make zone to dissapear. 
He sees the whole world being destroyed
As such, he is the only human left
Trapped in a void of pitch black darkness
And controls the humanity.
Actually,I think Joining the Monolith faction isn't actually bad.
Nice
Except for their religious fact,They are quite powerful.
Well, you have your brain erased. So you know nothing aside their religion.
I mean, joining them is going to mess with your head
But once you are one, you're doing great work
Also you are part of the best stalkers. Who managed to almost get to CNPP. Shame that there is only one stalker which is even better than you...
And will eventually take you down on his another way to CNPP.
That's why Every Monolith need's to be executed with an AK-74,Strelok Style.

Actually for the COC run,I'm gonna go Loner.

I´m going to go Ecologist. Because they are neutral with majority of factions.
In COC,If you choose the Immortality ending,It turns you into a zombified,But you seem to be the most intelligent.
Also amusing fact if you enable warfare in anomaly and all-out-war - Ecologists rebel against Military. 
Yep. You can also start as zombified stalker by pressing Z on faction selection screen.
Sounds wack
Though in case of Anomaly, zombies have no story mode and you can´t talk with anybody, I think. And only monolithians are allied to you. Other factions hate you.
Also you are the fastest and most accurate zombified stalker. 
Whoa, zombie easter egg screen
Pretty neat.
I liked the CoC zombie option for immortality.
You are immortal, but zombie. So you are hated by almost everybody.
I wonder though - are some mutants neutral to zombified stalker player? Or do they stay hostile?
Because I think that snorks are neutral towards zombified stalkers.
they don't seem to attack each other, or at least I haven't seen it yet
Freedom are Furries
Duty are a Military Dictatorship
Monolith are Poor Fanatic Cult followers.
Clear sky are Hawaii people
Mercenary are Mercenaries
Military are gay and corrupt
Ecologist are good boys
apparently tushkanos (rodents) are neutral to zombies too
Mercs are chads
I remember OGSE makes Controllers neutral to zombies too, but idk about vanilla games. 🤔
But I wonder if relationship is also for zombified stalker player or just for AI ones. 🤔
Not sure what that list is even based on
I've yet to see a freeplay that actually implements a good Military
yeah i've never see that in vainilla either
huh good question, we should look at the mod & vanilla files
Later
Well, you have your brain erased. So you know nothing aside their religion.
@hazy raven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smwc10ur0i8
Yeah guys,I'm gonna go play Minecraft on my private server.
@finite dragon chad
brain erasing and brain washing? sounds like all religions!
One thing which I wonder - will meme "Get out of here, stalker!" return in Stalker 2? At least reference to it? 🤔
"Too many occlusion queries were called!". It seems that the game is going to crash again soon...
Wishgranter will say "Get out of here stalker" instead "Come to me"
Got attacked by bandits and zombified stalkers killled them for me. 
zombies are bros 
TAZ 2.0b works just fine, older versions are wack. Anomaly port should be aight
@grand pendant #🔩┃trilogy_modifications.
Hey, what's up man?
Did one badly made quest in Winds of time, where you need to go at night to place where bandits attack people. You are promised by stalker giving you the mission that his group will protect you. Turns out that he is connected to the bandits, so nobody saves you. But the quest is a 🇷🇺 roulette, because you go to place, bandits come to you, trigger conversation and after it instantly attack you, which majority of times ended them one-shot me before I could react.
But it ended unexpectedly, when zombified stalkers, who were somehow around (probably people who didn´t hide during Emission/Psi storm?) shot the bandits for me instead.
I wonder though - does Anomaly add some interesting quests for factions or other stuff? 🤔
I ran away on third or fourth attempt. On first attempt attacking zombified stalkers broke the conversation.
Then I was one shot. And on fourth or fifth attempt I ran away, tried to shoot bandits but before I did, zombified stalkers already done the job.
Wind of time is a good mod except some stuff are broken like english translation

@hazy raven #🔩┃trilogy_modifications.
is funny, i always hated to speak in russian with my grandma
but now i must thank her forever, cause stalker is in russian
it's hard to play in english that game, not the same
English VA is better.
And English localization got a lot of original screw ups fixed.
(does not apply to CoP, CoP Englsih VA and translation both suck)
but the spirit stronger in russian, hehe
they could hire Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Reynolds, it's still not gonna be stronger
i wish i knew russian. for as much as i was obsessed with stalker as a teen i should be fluent by now
I play it in English and I prefer it that way.
hello
@zealous gate
I am big sad rn
horse on horse?
idk
agreed
Hi.
Why wouldn't it be legal?
Idk its stalker for free?
not quite
That kinda screws the devs
indeed it is legal, and it is really good.
it is more or less call of chernobyl, a mod which combines all he staslker maps into a sandbox.
it has its own full sotry taking place 6 years after the events of call of pripyat.
it has many of the features and difficulty of the misery mod rolled in without the stability problems that would normaly come with that.
and finally it contains a really lovely graphical overhaul.
definitly check it out
dw they endorse modding as well, since it's a fork and has nothing to do with the original games either, just the setting
Okay im gonna get it
Time to actually play a horror game without deleting it after 10 minutes in
horror kek, sometimes
@finite dragon the horror is in the atmosphere
Well, as the standalone mods let you play the game without buying it, even in modded state (idk though when it uses modified X-Ray engine), it´s technically illegal and basically 🏴☠️ the game, unless you bought it. But it´s on copyright owner, in this case GSC, if he would pursue anything against it and so far GSC seems to be fine with standalone mods. With torrenting, you are helping to spread it. But as I said again, GSC doesn´t seeem to mind. @finite dragon
its the helplessness you feel while playing
or the loneliness
really its up to you to check out
Great
And nope, Stalker is still sold on Steam and Gog. And you should buy the game even when you play it with standalone mods, as the games deserve it.
And you support GSC.
Im gonna walk around and shoot anything that walks in the head with a shotgun
So you never played stalker before? Bad idea to go into Anomaly before the games
Yep, you should start with games first. SOC, maybe get Zone Reclamation project to fix bugs and add repairing of stuff, though vanilla game is fine when you just play main story. COP is the best in terms of gameplay.
And fine on vanilla terms.
Also on COP is based COC mod.
i have a great best friend. as my first stalker experience years ago he had me buy COP but install misery :D
How about CS?
And nope, Stalker is still sold on Steam and Gog. And you should buy the game even when you play it with standalone mods, as the games deserve it.
Plus there's bundle discounts from time to time, you can get all 3 games for a very low price
How about you play them in order? SoC CS CoP 
That´s known as worst game from the franchise. Also it´s prequel to SOC. But it thrown away its dark atmosphere and is broken everywhere.
Known as the worst doesn't make it trash though fyi
But I would still recommend to start playing with SOC as the games also changed technically for worse or better.
So you can then compare yourself how it evolved.
Also CS is known to be hardest of the franchise. And idk if it has tutorial. SOC has tutorial, COP doesn´t.
2nd
CoP epic, but not as a second game, 3rd
COP is best in terms of gameplay, so keep it for last in order not to be dissapointed later.

And most polished.
definitly start with shadow of chernobyl. it has the most complete and relevant story to your understanding the zone and the people who live in it.
and it plays more as a linear story based game, where as the next two are more open
Only possible disappointment after CoP was the cancelled s2
cs isn't the best in terms of bugs, but still you should play it
CS epic
Lad ain't even here at this point lmao

he getting that anomly trash 
Or is he a 🏴☠️ ? 🤔


well, if he is new, and is going for anomaly first.
it will probably eat him
not worried about difficulty, mostly spoilers
Nah im not a pirate
Anomaly or COC, no tutorial and you are given at mercy of the Zone.
eyyyyy
But yeah
You're a chad 
Begin with SoC, I'd say
^
Honestly, pirating would be better than playing Anomaly first mate
Lmao
Epic oof.

U wat
Heck yeah it is, buy the bundle

yep, or your experience will be probably a bad one
If you want, you can also wait for a discount
Gotcha
Discounts are rather often tbh
They basically come every month or so
anomaly is just one of the big sandboxes we play/cry in while waiting desperately for the real sequel after all 
Summer or winter sale
Or any sale, GSC pings us every 2 weeks because of a sale lmoa
Nice.
lmoa
lmoa
They even gave away free steam keys so
Reminds me Postal devs. They also ping everybody on their games discount or free release. 🤔
which mod best then, with gtx 750 ti 2gb, 8gb ram, i5 3570k? which crashes the least ?
depends on what your looking for out of a mod
crashes has nothing to do with a mod being good or not, for example, Anomaly is pretty stable, but wack
You can try OGSE, VoA, Hybrid
well, which keeps the atmosphere of the vanilla stalker, has full of quests, i like anomalys feature "disabled minimap"
OGSE adds tons of new quests, but expands vanilla Stalker. Though it´s overhaul.
A lot do, honestly. OGSE is a good example
I mean Stalker:SOC.
ok i will do research, thx
so basically some sales go below 40$ for a bundle?
so i will just wait for a sale then get em
Bruh?
Bundle alone on Steam is 30 bucks
A sale making it go below 40 sounds like a scam lol
my steam is set for dollars even though i don't live in USA kek
How much in Dollars? 35?
40
If you by some chance live in a less rich country you could get it cheaper

weird expensive, i paid around 5.00 for each part
maybe it was sale or sth, i also got every physical version in CD/DVD
which mod has winter weather too?

there's standalone winter texture mods, but mods that also include snow I don't remember any rn
hi
Hey

i got the stalker bundle on steam for like 3usd like 5 years ago
I hope they keep leaning from cover in stalker 2, and get 21:9 or HDR on day 1

yeah, peeking around the corners its really nice
Gonna be pretty cool to lean prone

Lets all hold hands and twists our heads and legs for the glory which is monolith!
ok guys
you remember the volkhov aa complex in cop?
well i got to that place in dead air and i thought it woul be a good idea to check the armory
well, i cant get out of the air vent you have to get into to get to the armory
nope
Dang
oh wait, wrong chat, offtop time
ok, i tried anomaly 1.5, and it rocks
full of quests, and feels like open world, and don't need to do like some kind of story, plus weather occurence can be scheduled in settings
and it works well, dunno how they did it, but clear sky base was always 20fps and stuttery, now 60 fps and smooth
Lol, my i9 choked when i reached zaton
problem, they give me quest, but there is no indication where to go, lmao
i boosted my i5 to 4.021 ghz, seems decent, with rare freezes in the fields far from base
full of quests, and feels like open world, and don't need to do like some kind of story, plus weather occurence can be scheduled in settings
👍
Good hunting, stalker
Anomaly is awesome 🙂
ok, i tried anomaly 1.5, and it rocks
@toxic ember #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
How much in Dollars? 35?
@tired anvil stalker bundle on my steam is 60 turkish liras aprox 8 dollars
I'll damn die on that hill. If there's a separate channel for mod discussion, then this one remains vanilla, even after the merge.
cs isn't the best in terms of bugs, but still you should play it
@wary cove not the worst either.
SoC got way more gamebreaking things and minor issues. CS reputation mostly comes from release.
Hello everybody
Hi.
How are you?
Spoilers!!!!!!!! I Just finished COP and am a bit confused about the ending of shadow of chernobyl
Because the “canon” ending doesnt make much sense when you play call of pripyat
Why 🤔
Socs ending implies that the destruction of the c-con also destroys the zone
But its an easy retcon to say it just made the zone even more unstable
Ohhh
Thanks man
👍
Bandits had Cheeki breeki moment when a chimera rushed into their base, during my hunt of it.
Bandit killed himself by a grenade. 
S2 trailer got a different street name for Rookie Village.
So?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND THAT'S IMPORTANT
I WILL NOT ALLOW THESE GUYS TO REWRITE LORE
WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE
ik but they could use that name for a different street
Open world means dozens of miles of unexplored territories.
Leave rookie village as is, you damn monsters.
25 October street.
Oh dang
@hazy tangle if you rename the rookie village that's a negative review from me. 😤
Nope. I'll buy your game two more times and write two more negative reviews.
Dat'll show ya what I think about rewriting lore.
Retcons suck indeed, unless it make sense.
you're not a true fan 😤
It’s hardly rewriting lore
i'll kinda miss the passages between one map and another
It's still possible to make open world without redoing the maps.
You can leave the fences as they are but make them broken at some points at Cordon, for instance.
That's doing an actually good game without rewriting every part of it.
Doing novelties just for the sake of it (i.e. changing a street name) is doing a bag job at making a sequel.
Wackage can be wack, fo' sho'
Nooo lol
Could've just been for the trailer as well
^^^
😏
I don’t want the map to have many identical locations
@still ridge sure, then you can block the path to some locations, the way CS blocked the path to Rostok.
In CS there is no Rostok area? 🤔
Could've just been for the trailer as well
In CS there is no Rostok area? 🤔
@hazy raven is this the crowd that offers suggestions to GSC? lol
You know, name of the street happens to be the same name as the author of the poem
is this the crowd that offers suggestions to GSC? lol
Why would that even matter
It's like stating that GSC takes and adds all suggestions
Obviously not
You know, name of the street happens to be the same name as the author of the poem
@tired anvil oh we know...
I mean, we know they don't grab every suggestion, even if it has a lot of upvotes
But, y'know
Hey I’m sure they have their own ideas
It's like stating that GSC takes and adds all suggestions
@tired anvil imagine taking it so far out of context that you think that's what I mean
At least grab the good ones
@delicate chasm imagine thinking that some suggestion channel will be the end
I literally never said that
I'm pretty sure that the won't be listening to fans suggestions and doing the game how they see it
The biggest
And I like that
Since when Stalker was no open world game?
And making Stalker 2 as non open-world game would be bad idea.
It is, just that it's area-based
Bordered-in locations each had their own atmospheres, I wonder how that seamless world is going to play around with that. It's much harder to create an atmosphere in an area that doesn't have its own skybox and stuff like that.
What are you talking about, i thought this was a server for stalking people
They can still create seamless world with different locations. Only that we won´t change areas by loading screen, but walk there directly.
Like Morrowind does it.
I mean yeah I think most people on this server play Stalker. Just a guess though.

You play stalker or are a stalker?
Or both?
Both

Well i was gonna share the pics of the girl ive been stalking the past years
Obvious troll is obvious
Not sure if i should now

Not the first one to make this joke
Ah finally a man of culture
Yeah it boring af, i actually havent sleep in 2 days playing stalker cop
Oof.
Brain scorcher irl
Maybe Stalker games are just psi-emitters pretending to be games? 🤔
Maybe we are zombies and dont know bec we are brainwashed
Under the glorious C-Con control.

You’re implying it isn’t one single map @sturdy jolt
@still ridge it does not matter. You still can divide it into areas well enough with good level design skill.
Here's hoping
Yeah I don't understand why people are so scared about it being 1 map
Yes that is how stalker games work
Like, put a fence, that's it
It’s not areas though
Yeah I don't understand why people are so scared about it being 1 map
More to render, so it means that they usually become more empty to fight that problem
Like, put a fence, that's it
@tired anvil yeah. You can make it one map without having to interfere with original games' design.
That and themes
Maybe there will be female stalkers for once
The damn patriarchy
Females in the zone?
In CS there is no Rostok area? 🤔
@hazy raven have you played the games at all?


No CS.
I can see female ecologists as a possibility
But I did play other games.
Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker
I can see female ecologists as a possibility
There's a story about that and it turns out she's an illusion

Female Mercs would make sense. And probably ecologists, as they are scientists hidden in their bunkers usually.
Bruh females dont exist
Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker
No, I like it as well
More to render, so it means that they usually become more empty to fight that problem
Potato PC's shouldn't expect to run the game at all tbh. About empty ehhh, adding a road to connect 2 locations can have some pros, possibly an area for a new character. Example being Strider in the middle of nowhere
Yeah it boring af, i actually havent sleep in 2 days playing stalker cop
Same
Fav
But since the zone is very strange i can see women existing there
Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker
My favourite
Still amusing, how military instead of protecting their ecologists instead shoot stalkers, who are then hired by ecologists for doing the job of the military. 🤦♂️
Meh, I doubt they'll be there
Females are traps set by the wishing thing at the end of SOC
Lore-wise, that B
Also women as Controller illusions...
The military are scared of stalkers oof
I mean fair enough
I mean yeah I think most people on this server play Stalker. Just a guess though.
@exotic birch nah they anomawy.
Would you want some crazy lad with an AK running at you
I mean, if there are rumors of a man who took a Scarlet Flower outside the Zone and got a harem of hundreds of girls, I doubt they'd want to go into the Zone
That’s because stalkers sit down a mile away with a sniper rifle and pick them off in a choke point. 
They would if there's more Scarlet Flowers
I don´t know if it´s OGSE or vanilla explanation, but soldiers see Stalkers as a threat, because they sell artifacts to traders who then can get them out of the zone and thus probably spread the zone´s problems outside of the perimeter.
I mean, these rumors are spread in the Zone, so you can bet that it spreads in the Big Land
If they make it out alive to spread them
I mean, this guy literally has a harem of hundreds of brainwashed girls
I want a firefly so i can kill myself over and over
Who wouldn't notice?
Irl Helltaker
Tape a note to a pigeon
Kek
Helltaker, but with mutants? 🤔

I remember when bloodsuckers meant business, now its just shotgun go brrr hehe
Demons are not for harem, they are for killing
rule 3
Swearing isn't allowed here
What for real?
Profanity
He’s got a point though. Poor translations are funnier
Fo' realsies
Personally I hope to see the moon runes as dialogue that you get when an installer breaks or smth
H*ck
Anomalies of the zone...
Dang
Yeah the devs got in trouble for the official server having profanity iirc
Frick
Breaking the 4th wall.
Basically that yeah
Oh yeah, I forget this is an Official Servers. . .
I don’t get why people worry about the seamless open world
Hoping my game is in this
Might as well be owned by Disney at that point. . .
Bruh i hate the svarog detector why is the dot so small
If anything the stuff that doesn’t render well will be unseen since it’s so far away
But then i cant traverse the anomalies safely
Depends on the LOD
But then i cant traverse the anomalies safely
L2P issue
Or they can solve it by Oblivion way - turn everything too away into 2d sprites.
Bolts, my friend
I’m sure the devs will make it work.
I feel like the people most scared about open world are also the people who haven't upgraded since 2007
Which will then keep turning after you. 
Thinking of playing vanilla cop again
Go for vanilla CS
Nice
But I already found rendering distance in SOC and COP fine.
Missing that vanilla feeling
Scar needs more love
Been playing only modded for a while
Nothing pleases me more than letting an NPC take the lead when you know anomalies are ahead of you.

With Starforce included for super nostalgia...
Though I think that COP retail had Starforce or Tages too.
I got all three games but I’ve only played Shadow
What if I told you I returned CS
You mean refunded?
Don't need bolts when you have h u m a n s h i e l d s .
Stalker:Refunded sky.
Cannot confirm nor deny
I remember i got the hunter achievement and went between jupiter and zaton which apparently spawned mutants inside the train station
There’s a lot of game 
Don't need bolts when you have h u m a n s h i e l d s .
Honestly, I just rely on the anomaly detector and my eyesight
I'm sure your Steam account can, what's yer name 
So atm I have SoC and CoP
And then there was a controller stuck at the door and i couldnt do stuff
But I did play other games.
@hazy raven missed the best part of the series.
Disgusting
I did play CS though
Did you complete it though
Briefly...
🤨
Isn’t CS the best one objectively

CS best
I completed it when I threw my laptop on the ground
I don´t know if it´s OGSE or vanilla explanation, but soldiers see Stalkers as a threat, because they sell artifacts to traders who then can get them out of the zone and thus probably spread the zone´s problems outside of the perimeter.
@hazy raven that's not supported by lore. Lore says that traders have good relationships with soldiers - it's the way traders ship good out of the Zone. (Suslov says that)
Did you seriously
Meh, a lot would say it's their least favorite
no lol
It's my favorite, though
^
There's a story about that and it turns out she's an illusion
@pseudo rivet what about Leska?
@hazy raven that's not supported by lore. Lore says that traders have good relationships with soldiers - it's the way traders ship good out of the Zone. (Suslov says that)
@sturdy jolt probably corrupts
Well it’s a stretch but I guess you could say I did
Orest why do you keep quoting and responding to old messages?
Oh, you mean Orest's girl?
Yep, we can bribe the soldiers under the bridge checkpoint at Cordon to let us pass.
Tell the story Edillon
Never made it in the Zone and got arrested by the UN
I was told not to buy the other STALKER games because Shadow of Chernobyl is pretty much going to be the only one I like and I'll find a lot to be desired with the installments after it.
So some of them are corrupt.
I was told not to buy the other STALKER games because Shadow of Chernobyl is pretty much going to be the only one I like and I'll find a lot to be desired with the installments after it.
@rain stone nah cs is better
I was told not to buy the other STALKER games because Shadow of Chernobyl is pretty much going to be the only one I like and I'll find a lot to be desired with the installments after it.
Mfw SoC is my least favourite
@rain stone COP at least is worth it.
Yeah nah other two are also great
Bro buy them all. It cost like $10 for all of them.
A fan will tell you to buy all three
A non-fan will tell you to buy just SoC because they didn't care to play stalker after SoC
