At least compared to other scary games out there, STALKER is generous enough to give you free flashlight, and some high-end guns to fight off the enemy. Both humans, and mutants.

hi. Would you kindly explain why there is limitation for amount of people in Talk channels? Every single time I see that people are streaming game - channels are full and even above full.

Because if someone wanted to stream their game for let's say 4 other friends. 50 other random people joining and or ear-raping wouldn't be the most pleasant experience
You can just ask a mod to move you into VC when you want to watch

Oh. Elite content. I get it.

private channels and private servers and group chat are available for this
I just throught that if u stream something in server - it's available for large amount of people, its kinda "public".
Dont mind me, I'm just saying it looks weird for me.
frail spire
While I'm against limiting people who can get in, that would be in a common server which is mostly made of people you kinda talk with on a regular basis
Not in a server which is literally run by a private group (gsc) who have to keep rules in check constantly
Also the server is full of strangers and while you may want lots of people to join in I can assure you that if even a quarter of that people is like me and started funposting for real the server wouldn't last

all stalkers are good games without mod. But with mods you can re enjoy them in different way
tho modding possibilities in Stalker 2 will be quite more potent than in the old ones

I don't personally think vanilla is going to be the end all be all, best game ever

On Master ofc
sleek mulch
Maybe I shouldve brought more before I went past no return
hushed aurora
At the final stages like the Hospital and CNPP there's a lack yeah
But in most of the game there isn't
sleek mulch
That's mainly the part I'm referring to
sleek mulch
The main thing I have against cs is the early no point of return
Compared to other games
hushed aurora
Limansk isn't really early
pseudo yoke
It took me longer to get to Limansk than it did Radar or Pripyat Underground
sleek mulch
But they aren't really points of no return
Atleast not underground i think
Havent played soc in awhile
hushed aurora
Iirc SoC's point of no return would be Pripyat
sleek mulch
Cop has a pretty late point of no return
finite dragon
sleek mulch
Its just mainly the last part of cs that was weird to me for a few reasons that I mentioned but also just other reasons that I can't explain
The final battle just felt weird for me
sleek mulch
Dont have any answers apart from restarting game
finite dragon
Hm
hushed aurora
Cop has a pretty late point of no return
CoP doesn't really have one i think
hushed aurora
Its just mainly the last part of cs that was weird to me for a few reasons that ...
I think the whole Limansk+Hospital part was great
Hospital was epic
frail spire
CoP has no point of no return since you unlock guides who can take you around, at best you get locked from restocking when going from jupiter tunnels to pripyat
But boy do you run out of ammo gunning down snorks and monoliths
Also the least stretch of the game I guess
I do still believe Yantar in general is a pain in the ass since you only get what you brought unless you want to backtrack to bar

I've done 7 playthroughs of Anomaly since 1.5 U4 H8 and I have seen that OP little turd-faced demonic toddler in every single one of them. To the point where after the third or fourth playthrough I just never go there until I'm ready.
leaden hamlet
He's around the weird psychic factory bit, near the zone to the Dark Valley.
pseudo yoke
I'll check it out

I now see why many prefer joining Freedom. They're so chill and friendly.
leaden hamlet
Yeah man, Freedom are great.
lapis yew
Don't worry, I manage to loot Monolith armor during my little raid on X-18 lab.
Found some nice things.
And then after sending the files, my curiosity got me and I went to the Army Warehouse and met the Freedom.
They're cool.
marsh ocean
is there btw any list of ALL armors and their stats / slots that is in anomaly ?
pseudo yoke
their wiki, maybe
frail spire
Anything without anomaly slots, it's useless, anything without 4 to 5 slots, it's even more useless
marsh ocean
yup.
so far i know that the scientist suits holds good slots and teh wastelander suit
frail spire
Master wanderer, scientist exo that also gives you +100 carry weight, maybe some variant from the seva suits
Or the ghillie suit due to the special shenanigan that it has
tropic bay
Hello. 
frail spire
Anything else is objectively hot garbage
Which is a shame since theres truckloads of suits to pick
marsh ocean
yea. maybe theres mod that just gives all armors 5 slots. So you ca actually use more than handful of all these
kida limited to just a couple armors in the later game
frail spire
But then whats the point of having a bunch of armors if they all do the same
marsh ocean
well theres still other stats.
and how you look
for me is more the style option :D
frail spire
Same as the extreme of whats the point of having armor if only a handful are truly good
Honestly I'm mad about how they removed the helmet that gave you a literal hostile detector but also added the ghillie suit
marsh ocean
so im jsut gonna use wastelander most of the gameplay. no need to bother about any other armor
frail spire
Well I would usually go ghillie or reinforced seva suit with a bunch of kevlar plates
frail spire
I go with whatever as long as I can get recoil reducers and can slap a suppresor on them
pseudo yoke
Sunrise Suit and AKS-74U are the only kit you need

More like mp5 with 9x18 conversion and 600+ bullets
lapis yew
With the ballistic drop of the VSS Vintorez, does the other chevrons of the scope actually helps or its just visuals?
pseudo rivet
Sorta, it's mostly intuition
You'll get the hang of it in a while
Also, you're Freedom now
pseudo rivet
Usually not worth it, but if I were you, I'd farm some 9x39mm before I'd start to use the weapon
lapis yew
Well I did loot at least 100+ after shooting down Duty troops during the my first mission with Freedom.
And I do intend to remain friendly to both factions too.
pseudo rivet
Don't worry about them, they're a group of renegade Dutyers who are disobeying the General's orders
It'll reduce your reputation with Duty, but only slightly
lapis yew
Oh good. Guess I can farm plenty of those bullets soon enough.
That AS Val and Groza 4 won't be collecting dust on my stashes.
So should I remain using my AK's or NATO weapons while under Freedom?
finite dragon
has anybody checked the zone dreams ost on the spectrogram?
finite dragon
should be bolts limited and be part of inventory in stalker 2?
or "screw" im not sure how to call it
lunar wigeon
Would be cool
pseudo yoke
i think it should be an option
If gsc takes anything from modders, it should be that people want different things
and customizability with settings is important

One Time I was walking ad I see a strang man and I let his pp slip in ass mine

Corn bread?
I love corn bread, come through Bulgaria first
I'll trade kebab and rakia for 3 loafs of corn bread

No, just rye bread unfortunately
Maybe a can of root beer

See, there are three kind of "Stalkers"
Free Stalkers, Loners and Neutrals
Free Stalkers are more like Orest's group
Neutrals are like Father Valerian's group, who fight those who oppress Stalkers
And, of course, Loners are Stalkers who explore the Zone on their own
lunar wigeon
Loner seems like a neutral faction
hushed aurora
They aren't a faction

i pray stalker 2 has music from Кино
id love there to be collectable cassettes you could play. or some kind of chip for your PDA that has music on it
just to distract yourself from the zone while next to a campfire
frail spire
make collectables music
all the good music is behind some faction based quest that looks you out of the others :zak:
finite dragon
isn't that the case with JP2
hallow solstice
>make collectables music
>all the good music is behind some faction based quest ...
sounds horrible lmao. but that sounds pretty typical with games
frail spire
Yeah, thats why it came to me so fast
"How can I make somthing players asked for be absolutely cancer"
Maybe do the same for areas in the zone
hallow solstice
please stop.
frail spire
Or maybe bar you from buying guns of certain caliber if you have bad standing with certain faction
hallow solstice
man.
i like games that bar certain mechanics, because then it encourages you to play other modes or factions
however, i think it should just be HARDER to get. not impossible

what is ur fav pistol ingame

Thats a hard question, honestly I end up with 4 kinds of pistols or more in my inventory
Which is why I hope they make holding one small arm in each hand at the same time a thing

Go around with two pmms

One thing I hope we won't see in S2 are any at all free to play elements
Or God forbidd Battle Royale
Sick of all the microtransactions and everyone forcing BR lately
Let me pay €80 for the game if I have to, but leave the microtransactions, battle passes and such out of it
opaque parrot
That's a fair price, but I'm trying to say there's no need to ruin this series too with all that stuff
So I'm just saying if the game will have tons of multiplayer options or whatever I'll even pay 80 if I have to just so I don't see any microtransactions later
I remember when I bought BF5 for example
People pay 60 for the game and then waste another 100+ on all the skins and stuff
Then there's those who bought Modern Warfare for God knows how much and then waste even more in Warzone which is BR
What I want to say is I hope they'll stick to singleplayer and multiplayer only, as they were if you catch my drift
I'm angry, need Vodka
@tired anvil Got any cossack's to donate?
tired anvil
robust forge
The biggest grudge I have towards BRs is that it killed Titanfall
tired anvil
One thing I hope we won't see in S2 are any at all free to play elements
I hope we see the f2p elements of the game being free and with 0 microtransactions after you buy it 
And I just finished reading what you wrote

The Security Service of Ukraine is calling all right-minded and loyal citizens to collaborate with the authorities. Report all known cases of stalking! Do not let the looters hide behind your backs! They bring radioactive, unidentified items from the Zone that are highly dangerous for human health and life! Only with your help can we eliminate this hideous phenomenon! Do not put your lives and the lives of your families at risk for the sake of dubious profit!

60
60,
for a stalker game?
Nahhhhhhhhhh probbably 40 or 30 if its alright
And that depends on how good the game is
probbably wont be like the og stalker games since nobody from the original team is working on it
so
rip
hexed wolf
hmm depends
if it is truly great then id be happy to pay 60
good, hand crafted games are hard to find these days
if it was of average standard then id be happy at £30/40

Lol are you serious?

but hopefully there will be a rich and dynamic world with an outstanding atmosphere in which you can carve your path indefinitely
or idk

if it had that, then id be content with £60

expect the worst so that if its not perfect youre not disappointed but if it is great then your expectations are pleasingly exceeded

i'll honestly be happy as long as it's not a linear shooter that takes up 150 gigs of space and requires a nasa computer to run on low settings

What we've seen of S2 has given me a very good feeling that GSC knows what they're doing
They have the guy who created A-Life
They have Sergei

We've seen what art direction they are taking

liking music and its effect on the game are 2 different things imho
