the only pet peeve I have in general is the npcs respawn time being too short
Other than that, I enjoyed it a lot the last time I played it
~~As a personal advice, if you're playing CS for the first time don't join factions, it can make the game tedious
~~
You should play all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. 
I play all but Clear Sky
Bruh
playing clear sky
not playing clear sky
playing clear sky with fixes like a retard.
play clear sky
you only download bug fixes if its crashes or game breaking things, otherwise it is considered heresy
Mods Were a Mistake
lol
I can imagine this being in stalker 2 radio
as "we are doomed" is a common theme throughout stalker
You know, sometimes i want to play a good game with working mechanics, not a game with broken everything 
It's not broken. It's feature of the stalker series 

What if Strelok smiled
Koroche Mecheni
Strelok!!!
what a nice looking person, hope he doesn’t get spammed relentlessly in an obscure channel for obscure books about stalker causing it to get deleted

I kinda like it when in Clear Sky an emission is about to happen and I head to the Cordon neutral base and the NPCs block my way inside the building
at least I can run back to the tunnel nearby
trolled by Denis Butt
Hi there!
We will receive a new emission
Sounds bout right
oh god
not playing the best game in the series
CS is hard, although it has less bugs that Soc. I always saw CS like a SoC "well"-done

CS is hard, but it becomes a lot easier if you just don't partake in the faction wars. It's definitely worth playing though, it arguably does the most to flesh out the factions, their leaders & their mission in the Zone than either of the other two. It's honestly the reason it seems to get memed the least, both Krylov & Chekov are fantastically well done and very likable! 👍
(But screw the Swamps though...)
(The Swamps make me sad...)
CS is hard, but it becomes a lot easier if you just don't partake in the faction wars.
You'll be fine if you don't join any factions outside of the main quests.
Swamps are great
People do seem to really like them, in all honesty. They just make me go "Aww man not again" every time they're mentioned. This extends to various mods I've played as well now, in fact I imagine Hip begins has to try really hard not to burst into tears laughing whenever some rando says they need me to go do something in the Swamps. 😁
Sounds like not canon to me
Swamps are neat ngl
At least one thing we can all agree on is that the Cordon MG is not great
Not at all
Ok then it's at least one thing that most of us can agree on



Wait, this is all S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
And It always will be....
Stalker 3
@finite dragon So..
you are the Volkspolizei...
Yes?

Always has been! it's all cheeki breeki
It would be a stroke of genius if GSC capitalized on the metal monolith craze/meme and put up one near the Exclusion Zone
pay Vasia 2 bottle of drink, get some metal plates and Vasia gonna weld the thing
Hello Stalker Player!!!
Check announcements for latest news
I heard that maybe it was to 2022 but you know the fake news and social networks.
Any release year is not confirmed. The closest to a release year that we have is a PR manager saying 202x
As for books, there's Roadside Picnic. Whilst not being Stalker, the games have taken inspiration from it
I know there are almost 80 novels of Stalker but only find them in Russian or German
there were a fanmade book named Southern comfort but no clue what happened to it
It exists I believe
http://stalker-portal.ru/page.php?id=9207
I saw this and a wiki.
yup sadly these haven't been translated yet afaik
Adn films or series? I know a russian film (not Stalker 1972) and a cancelled series of AMC.
Those are pretty much it. I heard something about Russians doing a movie or smth inspired by Stalker next year, but it's not related to it or anything

There's old 
tfw most of the times i just find random images of harriott on the internet to use my pfp
i saw some wierd crap
play some Warfrare
chilling near Zatons sawmill trying to capture
suddenly 20 monoliths spawn directly from NPP entrance
MOTHERF-
Rest in peice sergei, thank you for the game and everything that had stem from it. Weve lost the true STALKER
What happened to sergei?
He died from covid 😔
Hi guys
Gotta love getting nade spammed
Gotta love even more when it's those grenades with a range of 2 rooms
Good Morning, Stalker...
Is it true that Limansk is the point of no return? As in, absolutely can't get back to the rest of the world?
What
Yes. In CS you can't get back after visiting it due to main questline.
@gusty trench thank you! bummer - was wanting to go get the RP-74 I found upgraded
Tank RP-74?
no, I gave that one to duty because I thought I'd be able to get one (I remember the ones in Limansk but not that you couldn't get back). I was wanting to bring it back to Duty's base to get upgraded. But instead I'll just do without one - the non-upgraded are terrible.
When?
November 25th iirc
:/ while I read that, Idoubt so much that there are only 1,5 million deads of covid
i hope the metal monolith turns out to be a stalker ad
that would be the best ad ever made
What happened to the GSC twitter
twitter mistook stalker for acutal stalking mabey?
Nothing, ignore the warning. Not the first time Twitter did it

Firstly: They share the same slot, you can only actively use your detector OR your geiger counter.
Secondly: Both perform some of their functions while in your inventory; Detectors beep while near anomalies, geigers tick while near radiation. The latter can also give you a quick reading if you press a button, although I can't remember the default.
Thirdly: If you aren't getting any anomaly detection noises then you might have to enable this in the settings. I can't remember if it's on by default or not.
That any help mate?

Ok, quick question, has anyone experienced a full on Monolith invasion force invading Army Werehouses? I had that happen to me in Anomaly.
R.I.P
U guys heard about sergei ivanov
Sure have
Damn
F4 for the geiger I think
I just wanna hang out with the boys in the zone, guys 
I hope the next writer doesn't screws it up after sergeis departure
Sergeis was Lost to the Zone
Nooooooo

Hi, just 3 minutes ago I discovered the new trailer and all this stuff... my heart is full of bliss and maybe radiation but oh god \UwU/

Free stalker for life.
hello stalkers! if anyone can help me with the issue I posted on #🔨-technical yesterday, I'd really appreciate it.
hello barbarians
this post was sponsored by no-faction gang
It is nice being on good terms with everyone! 😁
neutral does not mean on "good terms" tho
you're still a heretic,
the military will still shoot you,
and you'll prolly get robbed by bandits 
Eh, I like to think I'd still be on good terms with them. And if not, I can always just hide away in the Farmhouse in Darkscape & run my Zone archive project from there. 😁
It's got everything! Beautiful views, modern amenities like a campfire pit & TWO mattresses, spacious enough to add some roller-racking for the documents, friendly neighbours (the Controller under the bridge to the North pops around sometimes to borrow some sugar), nearby anomaly fields supplying me with all the Shells & Nightstars I could possibly need, and the roof even has spots where there aren't holes! 😁
I should make a tourism poster for the Darkscape. 🤔
- empty *
yeah was there once and there isn't much ngl
HAHA! Just a blank bit of paper with "Pls I'm lonely" written on it in crayon, couple of dried tear drops here and there. 🤣
"please come to darkscape there are artifacts seriously please"
Nah man, Darkscape has everything! The Bridge! The Farmhouse! The rusting Mi-26! The slowly-melting petrol station! The strange yellow hill! Geoff the Controller under the bridge up North! The rare phenomenon where Karliks come out every Thursday night and randomly create pyramids of crates in some sort of ritualistic act of worship! The anomaly cluster the just seems to do nothing but hum and spit out extremely rare-and-deadly Death Lamps! Everything! 😁
If no one visits the area then there's no-one to steal your artifacts. 
If I have a house there then I basically have like 4 anomalies that are essentially mine to study and play with. Come visit on Sunday, we'll make a campfire and play my favourite game of "what happens if I yeet it into Fruit Punch"!
"im all alone in here there arent even any mutants please come to darkscape"
Nah it's not that lonely. And there are tons of mutants! Like I said, Geoff up north, saw a couple of Chimeras mating the other day, and Thursday-Karlik-Box-Pyramid-Fun is always entertaining to watch...From a distance with NVGs. 😁
i played CoC with the OWR (original weapons re-done), and darkscape was filled with soldiers with SVD's or whatever you call them. instakill sniper rifles.
that was the case for any military dudes anyway, they all carried those.
so you know, fun. 
😬

@wicked current fo you know how to make COC stop crashing?
well..
I got the 32 bit version and it dies when i open my inventory or try to trade
you can make it crash by running it on graphics which are too high

you can make it crash if you have installed addons incorrectly, or something went wrong with unpacking of said addons
Nah im playing vanilla COC cause ive never played it before and want to go in blind
COP was my first stalker game and COC combined em all ive heard
if thats the case try unpacking them again-
I shall
i was gonna say that it can crash if you have too many of them too.
but not in your case.
try re-installing or copy paste the files into the directed folders, you might be missing something.
np
yo people


yo



turns out im an idiot too. i was running it on a resulotionn that my pc cant support lmao
i misclicked somehow i meant to hit 1080 but hit something else and it just crashed
🤔
whatever i did fixed all my crashing problems
i am not the most computer literate lmao
so it may have been something unrelated
prolly smth else, you shouldn't be able to choosr a higher resolution than your native
Things happen sometimes
@edgy jasper Don't be so hard on yourself, mate. We all make mistakes! 👍
Glad it's working too!

Stalker Modding 😎
The ultimate anomaly
"We Don't Give a Duck"
any good artifacts in the anomaly known as Stalker modding?
"Mod goes in, produces distortions of time & space, and occasionally artifacts!" 🤣
Good at PC things but not as good as at modding.
another thing is poor translation... can be difficult
I'm having a wicked-fun time with OLR ("Oblivion Lost Remake") which has been recommended to me by a good few people on here! It's a retelling of the SoC story using the original characters and concepts from the (cancelled?) first STALKER game called "Oblivion Lost". I'd highly recommend it, although good Mr Slyth tells me that "Oblivion Lost: Zone of Alienation" is the same thing but more stable, better translated & better balanced. 👍
I'm gonna likely finish OLR then play OL:ZoA either just before or sometime after slightly I've had a play around with Cyberpunk 2077.
I can mod .ltx files pretty well by now, but anything past that is a little beyond me...Thankfully there isn't much past that anyways! 😁
what you said might be the same but with a different name, still i'll leave the link to what i meant just in case
Vector of Alienation: https://www.moddb.com/mods/olr-vector-of-alienation
Yeah, Slyth's right. Disregard! I clearly haven't had enough coffee... 😅
Actually @grand pendant, quick question, does VoA need an OLR install or is it it's own thing kinda like Anomaly or CoC? The ModDB page says it's a "standalone addon" which doesn't help at all. 😅
Вот делать людям нечего...
Даю 5 секунд, чтоб удалил, иначе Коллектора натравлю, а он людей не очень любит.
SQUEALER
Try to write this in ru_stalker2 
its much fun to write this in en_stalker_2
@leaden hamlet it is completely standalone
ig they said addon bc it's built upon olr
Champion, thanks again Slyth! 👍
Shoot
so
Do you need to get all the games
In order to play
Like do they have a linear story game by game
you can play stalker 2 now?
Not exactly a linear one, but yes, the 3 games have a story/lore that is connected
No
ah
Next year...maybe
hopefully

timeline-wise the order would be Clear sky - Shadow of Chernobyl - Call of Pripyat. Each game is part of a whole story seen from the viewpoint of a diff. protagonist.
But it is suggested to play in the order of release (SoC- CS- CoP) to understand and enjoy it better
Also when playing SoC or any of the STALKER games for the first time remember to hard save alot, this will come in handy more times than you can imagine.

Yea, but you have to buy the game for those

Hahahah ,im too poor for that
It was like 10 bucks for all 3 games a few days ago
Yes
i can't help you with that
check if it has a language changer or smth
otherwise idk, youd need the files and audio
Doing that , with my Ukranian speeking freind
Will the comunity be mad at me for doing that ?
no reason to
The games aren't that expensive 
The most i played one a game is 10 bucks
Lucky for you, Clear sky is 9.99
And like I said earlier, a few days ago all 3 games in 1 bundle were 10 bucks. Christmas is also very close, so they will most likely be on sale for a good price again
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sale
where are you from jack?
Romania
You can't be that poor 
it's not really about being poor or not most of the time
it's more of the fact that you don't have a way to buy stuff online
Im saving money becuse i whnat to buy a external data bank for extra GB
Like for example Steam wallets aren't a thing in my country
Gift cards exist in Romania last time I checked
dunno bout Draculaland
Imma check
Yes
this is stalker btw not offtopic 
Well, we're talking about how he can't buy Stalker 
Yo ,i know this saunds odd ,but can some one DM me a pack for the english version of stalker
The flies
For the english audio and stbtilts
Not the hole game
Just that
Or direct me to a mod or pack that can help me
If you've got it on Steam I'm sure you can just change your region language or something?

@finite dragon, uh... I think Steam version already has English localization
Pirate 
Im a Pirate

Anyway
Guess i will Do what i do best and try to get the Files and get the game in english
@finite dragon bro support GSG fam. Plus its stupid cheap on steam. I got all 3 games for like 10 dollars
+The Steam Christmas sale is weeks away
Wait really ? Well guess imma do that
Yeah dude super worth it
Its honestly a steal for how much content you get out of the game
Call of pripyat is the one ive played most so far
Any idea when Anomaly RC might be released?
Tho , idk if my PC can handel it
Uh. Never?
Becuse the Pireted version is like 5gb and i have on only 20 gb of memeory left
But it worked so far on the pireted copy i guess is worth a shot
Rn the games are not on sale
Not yet
Ok so that works
Well i guess i have to wait for the sale

Guess i will wait for it , till then i will do what i can do when i don't understand the languege , kill every one with a Makarow
I'm surprised you didn't find an EN version tbh
That happends when i trust Makcumka
Name every anomoly more like
You mean when will they implement the new RC-stuff into the 'retail' version? They say sometime soon, I'm hoping early in the New Year myself. 😁
Name every time a bandit has said cheeki breeki
oh so you like S.T.A.L.K.E.R Name every gun
Name every anomoly more like
Pretty sure we have people on here who can actually do both.
Name every Life of Boris fanboy spamming Russian swears without knowing their meaning 
Lol
Tbh i know that they mean
And still use them
becusethis is the best way on geting the Gobnik/slav role in a server
Well, you won't get that role here as it doesn't exist
Becuse , let be hones , name one American that played this game
Daizenzetsu, Maxine, John Titor
Do you count South Americans?
Because cursing is against the rules
Yup
Anyway , i can't wait to actually play the games and enjoi them
Mostly becuse idk mutch about them
Daizenzetsu, Maxine, John Titor
Do you count South Americans?
And of course Gaj is just getting started, there's at least 3 more I can think of on top of them that are active. Plus, goodness knows how many more that aren't active (yet). The community's vast mate, the mysteries of the Zone appeal far-and-wide! 👍
+South Americans
many americans have played stalker
Ah. Maxine is American.
its certainly less popular in the states than in say, russia or ukraine, but its still popular
Yea it's not considered an indie game or anything by any means
its considered eurojank
Is a good game ngl , tho all i know about the plot is that
Well....not mutch
All i know is that you are the mark one and go do stuff
Now that i think about it the only resone i get the stalker memes is that im slavic
How'd you discover the games
a
Also im from the UK, i found Stalker through Sseth on youtube
I recommend you to, well, edit those words before bad things happen.
Yea fyi swearing isn't allowed here
Gotya
How would fan art in any way be canon
the game covers are basically just cool images made by the publishing team and have nothing to do with the games themselves
Resetera in a nutshell
Correct! Devs confirmed that the only thing canon in the franchise is the released games and information contained therein, even the manuals & official strat guides are non-canon. 👍
👍
knife, pm, pb, walther, m1911, martha, desert eagle, ben, shotgun, mp5, ak74, ak74 u, ah(abakan) , groza, vss, as val, svu, svd, lr, sig, gauss, ft 200n, rpg, bulldog
not too hard.
now with mods
Not canon 
👋
:(
how r u?
Just bought NFS on Steam and Stream broke. Doing great

Yes. That's how "TOS" is named like.
Even if it's not a "rifle" 
rifle

wtf s a offensive smile?
You can use wtf
It pretty much means emotes
does stalker go on sale for the holidays? I want to buy my friend the entire series as a gift
cuz anomaly is no way to get introduced to the series
Right
Like for example
It was on sale on the last one
like 2 weeks ago
so yeah it should be on sale for the holidays
In order to be able to play Anomaly, you need to be an expert on the originals.
His experience would be like Pewdiepie playing Misery.
@acoustic parcel I remember the bundle being on sale the past few Christmas, so the trend will most likely continue
ok thanks
stalker is the only series I'd buy a million times over
I played a pirated version of stalker for my first time. I fell in love with the series and decided to support the devs by buying the entire series

Indeed
No new update on S2
Shells & Koloboks for everyone? 😀
Cannot confirm nor deny
If you are expecting daily updates on here of S2 you are in for a disappointment 
hey why cant i see the "update-feedback' tab??
@still ridge that’s the only update I’ve seen. Sales
that’s not an update my friend
Stay tuned for updates, just don’t expect one tomorrow
I didn't know we had one. Are you sure you're in the right place, mate?
Well I’m trying to find the download links for rc16 to 18. This link from a YouTube video brought me to this channel my bad lol
No worries mate, if you need a hand pointing you to the Anomaly Discord then let us know! 👍
that's in anomaly server
Yeah sounds like some Youtuber not bothering to check their links before posting.
Wut
can someone send me link ot group? or inv me? i cnat find it anywhere
What group?
the anomoly gorup someone just said im looking for
The anomaly server

brothers, good day, never expected to find a discord like this
first of all, grettings, im just a fellow stalker waiting for this day for ages
second, is it really happening? r we really going home?
How did you find it, by the way?
the web page, didnt pay attention to the links at the bottoms the first time
was distracted trying to hold back my tears
Well, it was announced in 2018, so yes 
No, LA is modification which supposed to restore cut SoC content, but something went wrong (there is a big story about that, btw
), and now it's... Well, simply another global modification with its own features and other stuff 
If you want cut content - play OLR. 
I begin to think that you are pr manager of olr
Hey, kids
Hehe
yo
OLR really is kinda that good though, so long as you don't mind the sloppy (English) translation & make A LOT of saves to get around the fairly nasty bug here & there.
I still think X-18 in OLR is better than it is in SoC! 😁

What exactly does the dead air mod do?
Dead Air is a global modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on the Call of Chernobyl platform, affecting all aspects of the game, from graphics, soundtrack and special effects to gameplay innovations and work on AI. Dead Air develops ideas that originated in the previous project of the author - Call of Misery. Primary attention is paid to the development of the platform's potential, the complexity of the gameplay, attention to detail, work on the quantity and quality of content.
Thanks!
any info on when 1.0 comes out
also OLR is probably the greatest mod I have played, but it has a lot of potential backtracking and some missions have poor instructions
3.0 is apparently in playtesting currently
Lanforse said in a recent interview that they'd try to release it this year, "the very, very end of this year"
and yeah, olr 3.0 is looking great
You gotta let me know when that 3.0 version comes out! 😀
will do
last post from the official olr vk group was 9th of september and it's some type of dev interview
the other post talks about playtesting
there are videos about it already too
think i saw it once.
nick bloom.
three-dimensional outfit models in the inventory.

but these are mods, so i digress.
I've seen this stuff
I was really getting into OLR until it basically said "lol no you stop now". ☹️
Even in spite of the below-average English translation...
what happened? @leaden hamlet
Until hardlock happens 
@wicked current @sand fiber Freedom aggro on something on the far side of the map when I first load it, they then either wander over & get minced immediately in anomalies, wander out of bounds and never come back, or just stand there permanently aggro'd and refusing to talk to me...I spent about an hour plus another half of one trying to fix it but it's not having it. So I've given up & started VoA instead. Hopefully that kink will get ironed out with this new 3.0! 😝
well, shoot.
If it's any concilation, I can't find any info on this online so I might just be super unlucky with the world spawns... 😅
have you tried loading a previous save and entering the area again?
or is it still broken like that?
I've tried entering that map from 2/3 entrances like 16 times...
It is, but no point crying over spilled milk. I'm still having fun with VoA & I'll try again when this new version comes out!
Well, you can complete the game without freedom
It's main-quest related I'm afraid...
Don't wanna give anything away for Wasp, but I need them to give me something for the MQ but I have to help them do...Stuff first. I say "stuff" to avoid spoilers & cos I genuinely don't know. Have I mentioned the mod is poorly translated? 😅
Well, you can find those items without Freedom. We-ell, it will be very difficult, so just look on the internet 
To boost or not too boost this server?
We have too many 

Think about it. The Server is on the third level already. Choose smth else.
Guess not then
yeah
Is it canaon that memmers of freedom are on weed ?

Because of ehmm, this suit i don't remember the name
Gl w that
Basically injects several stuff into your body

For better combat performance iirc
I think some of the substances are morphine and adrenaline
and others but i don't remember
This doesn't happen gameplay wise if you're hoping for that btw
^ 
Let's hope is addet im Stalker 2
I'll pass
Stalker 2 postponed cause the devs are playing cyberpunk smh
Can't play if the game crashes on launch 
it does? :))))
For a lot it doesn't launch, yes
And I've heard that the world loads horribly on the PS4
There was even a 15gb patch out today, but idk what it fixed exactly
Yeah, I’ve heard many say it launches fine
Seems like it’s too big for a lot of PCs
Who knows. Heard problems from the PC and the console side. It's equal afaik
good thing stalker 2 will run on toaster
We don't know that 
"minimum requirements 3090 rtx"

Might as well buy a next gen console for the same price
Meh, with a console I'd also have to buy games all over again and probably replace it in 4 years. Doubt that would happen with the 3090
Gaijin (War Thunder) and GSC understands not everyone is rich. Making good games and making sure as many people can play it as possible is a recipe for success.
Is it a conspiracy theory to think maybe game devs increase hardware requirements cause they help drive hardware sales?
Eh, who knows. Though if anything CDPR showed weaker requirements than what's needed with Cyberpunk so I have some doubts
Faith restored, @tired anvil
Definitely not a conspiracy. You often see hardware manufacturers partnering with game studios to make exclusive bundles. There ya go. They get something in return this way and "boosting" requirements does them big favor
that's what was in me head when asking. I saw that nvidia cyberpunk 2077 video card promotion think half a year ago (?) and kept thinking it's really strange they'd do that
Yep, there are ways when game studios give specific GPU/CPUs in the game requirements
SoC also had a video card
Depends on the case
An AMD or nVidia?
nVidia is on SoC's intro if I recall?
AMD was the partner for CoP
devs prolly wont tell us how these partnerships happen. maybe the video card manufacturer helps with some kinda software tech optimization (?) or just "the hardware manufacturer blessing"
I want to say that Nvidia was there w all 3 gamed but I can't recall
Looks like AMD
Red PCB
Internal policy, you won't ever heard anything, JD
Its corporative secret
Asus Gaming Series 
Oh boy
My old GPU was 2600

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/340000-of-nvidia-rtx-3090-graphics-cards-were-stolen-in-china/ which one of you bandits was it?
Some clever ones
@tired anvil i wonder, are the SOC branded graphics cards collector items?
I haven't seen many of them so I'd assume yes
anyone else agree that
the wolf on the freedom patch
looks completely and utterly STONED
Anybody else disappointed of not seeing anything stalker 2 related at the game awards? I set myself up ngl
I'm actually happy because if something did show up, it would've been overshadowed by the Cyberpunk hype
Any updates on Stalker 2?
Not really
It doesn't seem to say. I'd imagine you'll need a copy of SoC installed so it can get around the engine licensing, I pretty sure CoC does something like this.
Have you tried downloading the mod to access the readme it talks about? That might be the best way.
yes indeed, the instructions are either on the webpage or in the readme.
In all honestly, kinda crummy of them to not have at least the requirements in the description... 😕
I wonder what would be the most difficult lore question 
CS kinda dead
Yes, had some possible survivors in mind
iirc the leftovers move on to Freedom
Never mentioned, but likely
Then again, some of them probably hate the Zone and became Dutyers

the game theory theme will never go hard
is there any problem if you mod stalker? i wanted to pick up one mod for more weapons, but i dont know if this will crash my game.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Aslong as it doesn't conflict with anything ig it should be ok
And if you install it correctly obvously
Np
read mod description or the readme file.
sometimes you need to start a new game for the mod to work, if youre unlucky.
but i dont know if this will crash my game.
@finite dragon
Crashing & instability is kind of the accepted consequences of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modding, I find. The engine is veeeeeeery sensitive and, while it may well run fine vanilla, mods can upset it, although by exactly how much is some kind of anomalous value that appears to change when observed. Quantum physics-style! 😁
chances are unless the mod is vasyanka you'll be fine
well, understandable for me
Stalker
stalker.
Acechador
is there any music channel with all the official stalker 2 ost out so far? i see a couple ones in youtube not from the official GSC channel
The only official tracks for S2 are on their YT or the S2 website
Does anyone know how to bypass the problem where you can't talk to Doctor in Anomaly?
Quicksaving and quickloading works if you're really fast enough, but is there any other easier way to do it?
I remember some patch on the Anomaly server...
how many weapons were cut from SoC ?
the toz shotgun
nah that wasnt the only one
any furry stalkers on here?
no i dont hope so
there was a handgun, which is only obtainable by killing
at the garbage i think...
it has a blocky model to it...
what in the game
the PKM...
oh ok
and a couple more pistols
a minigun used to exist in the builds
and apparently a MAC10 was planned too
what was the most scariest thing that made your jump in the game?
bloodsuckers always make me jump.
Dying and getting ear raped from complete silence because everything spazzed out was an experience 
oh ok
what about yours?
I forgot its name but in crawls and its naked and has a gas mask and his skin is burnt or somethin
snork
i cant seem to remember the name but when I do I will tell you
It's the Snork like Bobetko said
I think that Stalker 2 could be damned in the first place if its not tested for bugs and glitches, just like Cyberpunk
just waiting for some good ol ray tracing
i wish
I hope you can artifact stack
maybe just small amount of glitches
anomalies could be more good and the quality could be good
If anomalies were more "good" then we wouldn't be able to get near
Since most canon anomalies are one-shot kills
yes, could be a challenge with higher difficulties
Nah, difficulty should be done the same
Everything does the same damage at all levels
i hope theres no stupid ai.
Theres so much you can do with AI without needing a mega beast PC
i dont think that the damage could be same.
if the game is too hard, it will just get a quite bad review
just like that cuphead man that cant pass the tutorial
It will get a bad review anyways
dont hope for it lol
TLOU2 won game awards
I don't expect people to make it out from the tutorial missions at rookie village
I hope they don't sell themselves out to shill micros too hard
And better not god damn be Win 10 exclusive
one of these days I'll ... I'll be able to run in me metal shell!
they laughed at me! they said in Clear Sky I'll never be able to run again!
Raytracing cursed
Any AAA game that has it fails to deliver on the performance side
Screw such luxurious crab
Vulkan = future
Spelled Booty
No
Spit it out, mate. You've been a Booty merc.
Spit it out,
I just read this with Big Boss' voice
Metal Gear is indeed taking over my brain

Я нашел следы вторжения!

Anyway
Is it true that on the chrimas sale , all the 3games will be for 10 bucks ?
Well, nothing is confirmed, but the bundle will most likely cost 10-12 bucks
As it has been like this for the Winter/Summer sales for a while, sometimes the Spring and Autumn ones as well
Well if its more than 10 i will have to sell some TF2 items do is 12 but thats actually Really good deal
And i will buy it
To suport GSC game world
Thanks for informing me

Alsow i got into the lore
And the factions and stuff are really cool
Like they actually make sence , not like in other games
YES I DID IT
I FINNALY COMPLETED STALKER SHADOW OF CHERNOBYL
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THIS DISCORD FOR ALL THE HELP ALONG THE WAY

wait do i have to complete call of pripyat to be able to understand stalker 2 or do you think i can just play it?
cause i am quite excited
CS, then CoP
ok so clear sky your saying?
yeah, i think they said that
which stalker mod let you use anomalies as weapons
was it reborn doppelgangers?
wait so does anybody know if i will have to complete cs and cop to understand stalker 2? or can i just play stalker 2 when it comes out?
s2 is standalone so even if you played the games you prolly won't understand a lot of it. But why not play them anyway?
it's not like s2 will come tomorrow
i jumped on it for fun
Damn
I finished Vector of Alienation!!! Those endings are...Wow... 😟
https://tenor.com/view/sad-crying-depressed-down-sobbing-gif-5698182
Is it that short or are you that fast?
he's fast
Weeeell...I've been playing it all week as well. 😅
Bar THAT DREADFUL FINAL BOSS , I didn't find it all that difficult even on Master.
Tis good, thanks for the recommendation Slyth!
(Now I just need to wait until OLR 3.0 comes out before I give that another go)
it's gonna take a while, come sit down bro 
I was looking around the interwebz yesterday evening & saw someone say that OLR 2.5 is actually up to like "Fixx" 46 now & I was just playing "Fixx" 17, so perhaps tracking that down might be the best idea. I'll give myself a couple days to relax first though. 😁
Words of GSC
pog
I see a lot of people saying how cyberdong 77 is bad on consoles and one must ask
Who cares about consoles?
Hope gsc doesn't tries to meme stalker 2 into consoles
imagine playing on consoles
I'm pretty sure you won't understand 50% of game without playing the original three games 
50% of the lore maybe
Actually, you can play all three games without knowing the plot of the previous/next games 🤔
Not the game itself
It's like three different stories of three characters.
So wait, won't stalker 2 just be all previous ones with an engine upgrade?
So they're gonna do more lore?
inb4 sergeis last gift was S2 brand new script
IM GONNA
As far as ik, it's a new game
, not a remaster/remake of the previous ones
I can't tell if you're being serious or imitating the people thinking that S2 is a SoC remake
Regardless, it's continuing the universe
I was actually thinking all previous games, not just SoC
Maybe the one I'm thinking may be an expansion or something
I wonder where S2 will go
This might help you catch up

So basically stalker 2 is just 4k anomaly
Change my mind
It's not out yet. Hopefully that changes it
Wdym by PubicWorks?
That "feature" that makes every hair look like a glossy mess while dropping your fps to 1
Yea but even then I'm not sure I know what the so called “Public Works” would be
You mean ray tracing?
Hair Works
Seems like I've never used this feature so I was pretty much oblivious to it
It was the big meme feature of the big meme game known as the witcher 3
unpopular opinion: the atmosphere of CoP is better than SoC
true
Pripyat was pretty well done
Bunch of anomalies everywhere making you wonder where to step or how to get into places
hey guyz
Yeah. Pripyat is amazing ghost town. I'd like to visit that place
maybe at some point
No expert, but I'll help if I can. What's up mate?
Define expert
My companions, Zhenka Brigand and Grishka Fatty are stuck in in Lan X16
After disabling the miracle machine
Did you spoke to them repeteadly and turn off "wait" and "follow" repeteadly
I discovered they weren't following me
they never follow donw to labs
They're probably stuck somewhere
Through the main entrance
Give up on them and get new ones
Enable Fast Travelling in the options, make sure they're both set to follow you, then Fast Travel anywhere that's in another map / zone (IE Agroprom). 👍

the thing is, the lab is infested with controllers and pseudogiants
And they have loads of valuable stuff
(Random bold?)
Well you can disable the Fast Travel option that disallows it when enemies are nearby & you can issue commands to them (your companions) via your PDA so you don't need to be right next to them.
You are heartless
I can never give up on Grishka and Zhenka
They are too cute
I get you mate, I've had the same issue with Hip. But the Fast Travel worked for me so give that a go. If that doesn't work then try getting them to wait , going right next to the level zone at the far end (where you find Ghost in OG SoC / leave for the tunnels), then telling them to follow you, waiting ~10 seconds, then zoning through that hole shouls put them next to you in the tunnel beneath Yantar.
She certainly can if you help her fulfil some annoyingly specific requests for a client from the Big Land. 👍
You are talking about the scoped shotgun right?
Yeah, that one. There's a whole series of quests you can do with her, she'll start going along with you for one of them then, at the end of it, she's available as a companion. 👍
Any luck getting your mates out of X-16?
Bad news
They keep dying
;(
I have a plan tho
I'll load to an earlier save
Make monie
And rescue them
Pseudogiants? More like, pussygiants
Controllers? More like mopers
But, playing on master difficulty will be... difficult
So did trying to Fast Travel not work?
playing on anything but master
Also unless your companion is wearing an exo then they're useless
also remember to give them their weapons but upgraded and attached
Since if you give followers guns with different kinds of ammo you'll need to supply ammo as well
Won't let me, Controllers offs me in a Milisecond
I'll try again tomorrow
Or when I Play again
aks in general for loners/duty, nato guns for freedom/mercs
Bandits get trash guns along ecos unless it's a guard npc
Monomemes get either nato guns or snipers

is there a way i can make the enemies less bullet spongy in soc?
Yes, shoot less, aim more
The first shot is the one that count
So aim for the head
there is no upgrade system in soc
thanks
ok lol its actually working
i always fired in short bursts but tapping between shots kill faster
thanks again koba
Do you think Stalker 2 will be so insane that it could tell of a 3rd zone explosion?
Like for example: You're a lonesome stalker, a nobody, heading to the Zone in search of wealth and on the way there a giant shockwave blasts the transport vehicle and knocks you out, similar to Marked One's beginning
turns out
a 3rd explosion has happened
comparable to the Beirut explosion
this time
the reactor of the CNPP exploded again
it's a mod idea if anything

No slowmode?
Hah)
Correct, but the mods are on a hair trigger so I wouldn't overdo it if I were you.
