That's what they want

A bayonet that doubles as skinning tool

If they dont get the moders to work for them at some point they will work for the love of the game on their own..

Gotta be slot efficient

#

What's up with the announcement

wooden mauve
mystic anchor
#

Have you guys watched the 2 hour video breakdown on the development of SOC?

digital lynx
finite dragon
#

Yeah what was that? New lore?

tired anvil
wooden mauve
#

oooohh

strong rivet
#

spicy

digital lynx
#

It's a heavily modified version of either the 105 which is chambered in 5.45 and the 104 chambered in 7.62

strong rivet
#

wheres the cipher people

tired anvil
#

It's been sorta going on sinca January

#

Uhhh

finite dragon
#

Was it referring to the cards from the cipher from a week ago?

#

I wonder if they're gonna move the game to ue5

tired anvil
#

2.0.2.1 server I guess

strong rivet
#

or is the the russians again

tired anvil
#

EN dudes are also participating

strong rivet
#

oh noice

tired anvil
#

I need to talk to the admin of 2021 to open up an English channel

tired anvil
strong rivet

it would be noice

I got my card in early January

#

yeah they cant

still ridge

wayyyy too late

ue5 exists?

wow

strong rivet
#

ye

its not out yet

final epoch
#

Oh ok

tired anvil
wooden mauve
strong rivet
#

pog

still ridge
#

I mean they’ve optimized everything for Ue4

tired anvil
#

Epic mentioned that ue4 games should be easy to port

#

So meh

strong rivet
#

ah forgot i cant curse

#

dammit

#

i dont want to get banned

#

yeah hopefully its easy

still ridge
#

they could do it, but I’m not sure what the advantages are over Ue4

strong rivet

to carry it over

spare fossil

maybe Stalker 2 in Epic Games

wooden mauve

yikes

strong rivet
#

probably

final epoch

@still ridge better lighting tech

frail spire

I mean, if they go epic it's a free game for me yehidniy_rock

wooden mauve
final epoch
#

hehe

strong rivet
#

they can alsodo some fancy stuff with models

worthy lark
#

@frail spire it's gonna be in the xbox game pass on release

finite dragon
#

Especially with the new system they added

strong rivet
#

there basically would be no polygon budget

worthy lark

which means stoolker for 10 bucks on release smile_scar

strong rivet
#

cause nanite

wooden mauve
finite dragon
#

Did they mention rt in this game?

strong rivet
worthy lark
#

game releases nowadays are so inconsistent that i ain't gonna pay full price before i know it's gud

frail spire
#

Consolecasuals won't even go past the tutorial and people will get so buttblasted that they will give a low score, mark my words

wooden mauve
strong rivet
frail spire
#

And game journos won't even make it past the title screen

worthy lark
#

especially when i can get it for 10€ on release

strong rivet
#

this is pretty mind blowing

#

its really good lighting and model tech

#

like

#

best we will have by a MILE

hard stirrup
#

@worthy lark every game is perfect before release until after release AKA cyberpunk

final epoch
#

if stalker 2 has a tutorial, its not worth playing

tired anvil
#

SoC had a tutorial

strong rivet
#

well a small lil tutorial is needed

tired anvil
#

So did CS

strong rivet
#

vanilla has it

final epoch
tired anvil
#

Yep

strong rivet
#

ye

finite dragon
#

Yes ....
Take your time GSC

frail spire
#

SoC literally has a handholding tutorial

tired anvil
#

And CS has an artifact one

strong rivet
#

i mean stalker is a more difficult game

frail spire
#

"Yah heard boolets? Go there"

worthy lark
frail spire
#

I said it was gonna be trash after bringing keanu in

strong rivet
#

well tbh

frail spire
#

Relying on celebs is a telling move

strong rivet
#

Keanu did a really good job with his character

final epoch
#

"gta with bugs and an uglier artstyle"

strong rivet
#

like a really good job

#

it wasnt just a

#

omg keanu feat

#

he did a genuinely good job

frail spire
#

It wasn't because of keanu

#

It was because they brought someone to pitch the game

strong rivet
#

the things they got right was

#

the map itself was the best ive seen

#

just filled with garbage

worthy lark
#

they really played themselves by pumping so much money on advertising wayy before the game was even ready so they had to throw out a release date and even after the delays it still wasn't even close to being done

frail spire
#

Which is on par with ea brining literally who soccer players or whatever to shill their games

strong rivet
#

the story, voice acting, music, character design and animation, and vehicle design

#

ah forgot

worthy lark
#

i have no idea how NHL FIFA and the other games are so popular when all they do is literally release a PATCH every year

strong rivet
#

the rest is hot garbage

#

like they didnt balance the game

frail spire
#

Microtransactions

#

We know that one

strong rivet
#

past early game lmao

frail spire
#

Cmmon

worthy lark
#

implying that people play fifa for the microtransactions LUL

final epoch
#

Imagine if stalker 2 has microtransactions

strong rivet
#

it wont

frail spire
#

Their revenue is like 10% game sells and 30% micros

strong rivet
#

Cyberpunk had a big enough audience

wooden mauve
final epoch
#

stalker 2 b a t t l e r o y a l e

strong rivet
#

that they could do whatever they want

worthy lark
#

it ain't EA or Ubisoft developing it controller_b_left

strong rivet
#

and make money

#

stalker is a smaller audience that is alive only cause of core dedicated fans

#

if you alienate those you ruin any chance of having a profitable game

frail spire
#

The only micros I would allow are those ones that are there as an option but universally seen as "you're a dumbass if you get them"

strong rivet
#

they cant take a risk to do so

worthy lark
strong rivet
#

yes

#

its small and hardcore

#

i mean the modders here are another level

worthy lark
#

hats off to anomaly boys

strong rivet
#

anomaly is a godsend

worthy lark
#

they ported xray to 64 bit BABYY

strong rivet
#

its the best stalker experience there is

frail spire
#

Wish I could have been there just to scream "Finally no women!" and get kicked out smile_strelok

strong rivet
#

but also gunslinger for example

#

basically built around attachments and had to make a ton of work and new system for it to work like that

worthy lark
#

it runs soooooo good when it can actually use more than 4gb of ram lol

It's cards

#

A reference to the stuff GSC sent

leaden hamlet
tired anvil
#

Yea pmuch

#

The ones they still say aren't from them, rather some criminal from the Zone

leaden hamlet
#

So, with regards to the cards, what exactly are they saying about them in this latest announcement? Cos if I'm reading into it right, it sounds like there's more messages hidden in them?

The ones they still say aren't from them, rather some criminal from the Zone
Wait what? 🙃

sonic rampart
#

Are the cards NDA_Rock stuff

tired anvil
#

No, there were 36 iirc sent out to many people and in the end they formed a message

I translated everything on the cipher server and currently waiting for the admins of it to reopen the EN channel to make it easier to follow

Who is "She"

leaden hamlet
tired anvil

The Zone I'd say

sonic rampart
#

Yeah i think its the zone too

weak shuttle
#

She is the zone-

#

Alright I could see that

leaden hamlet
#

I kinda like it, if you think about all the other natural phenomenon humans across the world refer to as lasses - hurricanes, the ocean, 'Mother Earth'. Heck, just look at Santa Muerte; the Holy Lady of Death.

Mother nature. The zone is the nature, a she.

@tired anvil can you link up the server

tired anvil

Atm there's no EN channel but sure, I'll DM it

leaden hamlet

#

or maybe our protagonist is female

leaden hamlet
noble mica
#

What about Skif?

leaden hamlet
#

Although I suspect the "He" they're referring to is Skif, so that would make them male.

noble mica
#

Didn't GSC mentioned long time ago about co op (update: False information, sorry)? Maybe "she" is Player 2.

hushed aurora

Nah

#

They haven't mentioned such

And it's clearly speaking of the Zone smile_degtyarev

Its just cyrillic, in russian/ukrainian we use feminines and masculines for words or stuff

#

Correct me if I'm wrong

tired anvil
#

It's in a lot more languages, but in a sense

jagged gull
#

So "Зона" (Zone) is feminine, she (она, Зона)

leaden hamlet
tired anvil

Though the Zone can be refered to a she in English as well

Didn't knew

nothing alike, though some metro developers were part of GSC once I believe

is metro a proper survival horror?

It adds the magazine loadout system

Stuff like having to load each bullet in your magazines and stuff

Kinda like Tarkov

dusk grotto

Yeah I know

I got the link off a vid

Im just wondering why I load the game and it crashes

and I tested only it and it still doe sthat

With no other mods

It's Anomaly so idk

dusk grotto

Could it be outdated?

hushed aurora

What versión of Anomaly You downloaded?

dusk grotto

Hmm

I think it's better if You ask in the Anomaly discord

Honestly use whatever gun

I can land more headshots with a pistol than with a sniper or a rifle

So I barely bother with anything but pistols and a token rifle for mutants

Pretty chad of you to be very skillful with pistols. I only use them for back-ups.

It's my lifes story with games
Rifles? Can't land a god damn bodyshot
Pistols? I somehow manage to hit someones head from half screen

Full auto pistols? Salt mine

Meanwhile, I'm loving the Vintorez, because nothing better than a full-automatic, integrally suppressed sniper rifle.

The system operated from July 1976 to December 1989. Two operational Duga radars were deployed, one near Chernobyl and Chernihiv in the Ukrainian SSR (present-day Ukraine), the...

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!

Good day everyone. Some of you may have heard about a 2nd cipher happening as of late. For anyone interested in it, feel free to join the 2.0.2.1 Rentgen server where most of the decoders are meeting up and suggesting their own theories. Today it opened up an English section, and I posted all the important information there. Have a look 😃

Any attempt to penetrate the secured Zone will be punished by any means necessary! Patrols have the right to shoot on sight.

I hope GSC lets us have an OG sunrise suit

Well, we've already gotten a look at the Sunrise Bodysuit for S.T.2

At the Rookie Village

Didn't even notice a sunrise suit in the Rookie village lol

Now I have to go watch the trailer again

I don't know why I never paid attention to the suits exactly

I thought it was just rookies in their Leather jackets

With beanies

Sunrise Bodysuit doesn't have gloves, though

Same counts for the Leather Jacket

#

But this apparently will depend on experience

opaque parrot
#

Maybe we'll have boonies too

#

Yeah I noticed that too now that you sent those pics

#

All of them had gloves in previous games

#

Well, at least the ones with sunrise suits

#

I think we'll get lot's of varieties of equipment

pseudo rivet
#

Guess so

#

I guess the equipment is no longer prepared for actual Zone usage

tired anvil
#

Sometimes you gotta upgrade even if you don't want to

pseudo rivet
#

I guess you now need to upgrade your suit with stuff it previously used to have

opaque parrot

God I hope you're right, that would be much cooler than just running to the CNPP in a Leather jacket and stocked up on hundreds of anti-rads and medkits

pseudo rivet
#

Uh

#

Yeah nah, I guess I'm just crazy or something

#

It's not like the same thing won't happen in S.T.2

#

Jacket runs will be done

#

PMm runs will be done

#

Knife runs even

#

I don't see the point

opaque parrot
#

In any case it would be cool that the game sometimes FORCES you to upgrade your equipment
I think it's a fair feature honestly

pseudo rivet

But it already does that in the previous games

🤔

opaque parrot

Well tbh, I played on Master always and sometimes I used nothing more than a Sunrise suit and an AK

fellas i jus copped myself a 2k 2560x1440 monitor anybody got any cool wallpapers fo dat

At least they could force you to upgrade existing or buy much better equipment in certain segments in the game

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

Except for CoP, of course

#

And in CS, it's hinting towards getting an upgrade

#

So yeah, I don't really see the point, I guess

#

Oh, I know...

#

Checkpoints in STALKER

#

In case you're referring to something Encorvado and I thought of and suggested, then yeah, I'd agree

tired anvil
#

Honestly I'm pretty sure that the first time I completed CS was with the CS-3a zak

pseudo rivet
#

The right one or the bad one?

tired anvil
#

The weak one

pseudo rivet
#

Ah

#

Yeah, that's fair enough

boreal sky
pseudo rivet
#

He was referring to the weak one

#

So, the actual CS-1

#

Unless you also mean that

boreal sky
#

Yeah the first CS suit you can buy, you aren't a real S.T.A.L.K.E.R. if you don't beat the game with it

mystic axle
#

What difficulty should I start with for CoP

pseudo rivet
#

As always

#

Master

#

I guess this means you completed SoC and CS?

sand oar
#

Bruv I'm new to stalker tbh

pseudo rivet
#

Welcome to the server

sand oar
#

I have SoC and CS downloaded

pseudo rivet
#

And STALKER, of course

sand oar
#

I think I'm almost done with SoC

#

Rn my missions are to go to the Chernobyl NPP for the esophagus

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, that's pretty end-game

sand oar
#

And then another to find doctor in that one lab

pseudo rivet
#

I'd do that one first

sand oar
#

Cuz I found a recording of ghost talking about doctor and I went to guide

#

Yeah ima do that first

#

Maybe fine some stuff out about strelok

pseudo rivet
#

Yup

sand oar
#

I got scared to all hell inside of lab X10

#

Once the human enemies come around im not scared but because I don't have the enemy counter for mutants and creatures I never know what's around a corner

#

Bloodsuckers are scary as hell and I can't shake the fear of them xd

pseudo rivet
sand oar
#

Wait a min this is a real gsc server with devs and stuff?

#

That's cool

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, it's an official server

sand oar
#

Most "official" servers I've been in are just hardcore fans for games and stuff and have no real relation with the devs or nothing

#

But yeah i heard so many people say good things about the STALKER series I had to try it

#

But no one told me it was scary xd

#

They really get you hooked with the non scary gameplay then hit you with scary stuff and you don't wanna stop cuz the games so good

tired anvil
#

The Controller in Agroprom for the first time F_OZONE

sand oar
#

The ambient sound tracks are really scary

pseudo rivet
#

Not sure if you've looked at the dialogue of some NPCs, but those can also be pretty interesting

sand oar
#

And I noticed they make the banging noise or growling whenever around doorways and it's like so this is the right way yes?!?!

sand oar
pseudo rivet
sand oar
#

I got a special connection with a loner in cordon under a bridge his names Yasha Grad it's cool cuz he had the pistol when I first met him and after attacking the bandit camp 2 times he got an AK

#

I think it's cool how NPCs like actually go around and do stuff even when you aren't around

tired anvil
#

The original concept of them was them finishing the game before you smile_degtyarev

pseudo rivet
#

Imagine the potential for S.T.2

sand oar
#

I heard about that

#

Idk if I missed out on stuff cuz I went to the military warehouses and found wolf dead next to other loners

tired anvil
#

In a campfire?

sand oar
#

Yes like in the middle

pseudo rivet
tired anvil
#

That's just sorta a bug, you didn't really miss on much

pseudo rivet
#

Well known bug

tired anvil
#

Pretty iconic at this point

sand oar
#

I see

#

I was shocked cuz I didn't know if I accidentally messed up on a quest or something and he died cuz I didn't get there fast enough

tired anvil
#

Yea nah, you're good

pseudo rivet
#

Nah, don't worry

sand oar
#

I assume he had too much vodka and fell in cuz I found some there

tired anvil
#

Or rather the guy who programmed him smile_degtyarev

pseudo rivet
#

I guess all you need to know is that he gave explosives to that rogue group of Duty soldiers

sand oar
#

Oh that was him

#

That was the duty group that got rekted by freedom right

pseudo rivet
#

After that, he's supposed to settle down at the Army Warehouses, but, uh, well, you know

tired anvil
#

Poor feller got lost

pseudo rivet
hushed aurora
#

If you're a cool dude they do get rekted by freedom

pseudo rivet
hushed aurora
#

Emotes are broken rn, kek

sand oar
#

I joined freedom can't tell if that was a good decision or not so far seems like a decent one

tired anvil
#

I'd say better than Duty

hushed aurora
#

Better than Duty

sand oar
#

Duty got on my nerves xd

pseudo rivet
#

Better than Duty

tired anvil
#

Though the best one would probably be the Monolith

pseudo rivet
#

Or Shamans

sand oar
#

Ok talk to you later my dudes

tired anvil
#

Cya, hf

so uhm, anybody have any news on stalker 2 release?

#

Only that it’s in 2021

hushed aurora
#

Is it confirmed yet?

#

I don't think so

leaden hamlet
#

@finite dragon That'll be a no, but there is a fairly cool ARG going on at the minute that might turn up some interesting details. 👍

pseudo yoke

@finite dragon GSC cancelled it to make Cossacks 4

Laugh all you want

hazy helm
#

if it does?god helps us all...

sand oar
#

I have yet to encounter them

tired anvil
#

Free Stalker is a different term for Loner

pseudo rivet
#

I guess you know Free Stalkers as Loners

sand oar
#

I see

tired anvil
#

Renegades and Clear Sky are factions that will appear in Clear Sky

pseudo rivet
#

Loners are more so actual lone wolfs

#

Free Stalkers mostly walk around in groups

sand oar
#

Oooo that makes sense

pseudo rivet
#

There are also Neutrals, who fight people like Bandits

#

Like Bes' group

sand oar
#

I remember him

pseudo yoke
#

Monolith #1

sand oar
#

With the sexy mustache

#

Xd

pseudo rivet
#

Alright, the Renegades is a bit more complex

sand oar
#

He got clapped by a dog

tired anvil
#

Don't spoil it for him

#

Let him finish SoC and open CS first

pseudo rivet
#

Aite

sand oar
#

But yeah when ever I play games in a series I play as if it was coming out

tired anvil
#

Same, release order best

sand oar
#

Some people played clear sky then SoC

lapis yew
#

About to go into Red Forest, any recommendation on how to get through there?

sand oar
#

I felt like nah that wouldn't be right

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

Release order best unless stated otherwise

lapis yew
#

SoC

tired anvil
#

Have an assault rifle ready

pseudo rivet
#

Get an assault rifle for 5.45, an assault rifle for 5.56 and a ton of ammo

lapis yew
#

How about 9x39 rifles?

sand oar
#

One thing I really like about the factions is the almost relatability

pseudo rivet
#

Rare ammo

sand oar
#

9x39 is kinda hard rn

#

I only got 300

#

I found the vintar bc

tired anvil
lapis yew
#

Oh no, doing some side-quests for Duty and I'm getting plenty of 9x39mm

pseudo rivet
#

Duty

sand oar
#

Well some games they really try to hard to make them radical and like picking the lesser of 2 evils

lapis yew
#

What? I want to get the Sniper VLA

sand oar
#

When you get back story to each faction they kinda make sense in their own way

lapis yew
#

20 rounds while still having some extra damage and good accuracy is what I need.

#

Because Vintorez is a little lacking when it comes to mag-size.

sand oar
#

Then the gp37 is good

pseudo rivet
#

Or the TRs 301

sand oar
#

I think it's called the gp37

#

I always wanna say gp36

pseudo rivet
#

So yeah

sand oar
pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

lapis yew
#

I want 9x39 rifles because high damage. So, should I take the main road of Red Forest or just cut through?

sand oar
#

I regreted not bringing it with me to lab x10

#

I brought an AK with a grenade launcher

sand oar
#

I'm by no means an expert

#

So idk what's the right option

lapis yew
#

Hm... well I do prefer human targets rather than creepy mutants.

sand oar
#

Same

lapis yew
#

Monolith is hanging around there right?

sand oar
#

Pretty sure

pseudo rivet
#

Main road, yes

#

They've got some unique stuff, though

lapis yew
#

Oh excellent, they carry plenty of 9x39mm rounds with em. Guess I found another supply line.

sand oar
#

Bro I brought the ak with grenade launcher because I saw I was going into a lab and I know they got mutants down there and bloodsuckers and I do not mess around with them

#

What really got me bugging was I killed one and them scared another one off and never saw him again

#

Every noise scared me dkud

lapis yew
#

I'm thankful of the double damage mod I installed, makes gunfights less long and human targets dies to three to one shots. Including me the player so the game is literally on master difficulty even though I'm still on Novice.

#

Yeah, the succ are terrifying

sand oar
#

I'm on stalker difficulty

#

Later on when I come back to SoC I wanna play on the highest difficulty

lapis yew
#

Install Double Damage mod, it makes gunfights hard yet realistic, though, do expect to die quickly as the enemy if you're not careful.

pseudo rivet
#

And this is your first time, right?

sand oar
#

Me yes

lapis yew
#

Yes

pseudo rivet
#

Lmao

lapis yew
#

I do not regret the Double Damage of guns

#

I love em

sand oar
#

I'm ok with the damage rn >.<

lapis yew
#

Makes gunfights challenging and I can easily kill mutants with few shots.

pseudo rivet
#

Lmao

sand oar
#

Wait till a monolith runs around a corner and BLASTS you into the next nuclear blast

lapis yew
#

Because logically, most mutants are unarmored, makes sense if they die to some few bullets.

#

XD

sand oar
#

Monolith are tuff

#

They aim pretty good within 100m

lapis yew
#

I prefer human enemies, they might be hard, but at least they're not scary.

pseudo rivet
#

Nah man, their skin is much thicker than just a normal animal

#

They're mutated, after all

sand oar
lapis yew
#

Yeah, but I still prefer if they die to at least 3 to 10 bullets, rather than half a mag.

sand oar
#

Even if an underground part only has 3 mutants id rather fight 30 humans XD

lapis yew
#

Yes

pseudo rivet
#

Lmao

lapis yew
#

Succs are scary

sand oar
#

Really scary

#

Reminds me when I was little

#

I played on my mom's ps2

#

And played a game called conflict desert storm 2

#

The tanks scared the complete crap out of me

#

Atleast the tanks didn't run and growl at me 😩

lapis yew
#

Oddly enough, I'm less scared when a Bloodsucker attacks me by surprise. I just go, "WTF?! Oh screw you!"

sand oar
#

Yeah cuz it's like instinct to kill em

#

But if you see them first it's like "I don't wanna go there"

lapis yew
#

Me too.

#

Even though my Mossberg is sufficient enough to kill them

sand oar
#

I don't even use a shotgun I use a grenade launcher xd

lapis yew
#

I mainly use assault and sniper rifles, though, the Vintorez is a borderline Assault Rifle. Shotguns are reserved to raiding labs... shudders at the creepy place

sand oar
#

Yeah

lapis yew
#

Damned Bloodsuckers...

sand oar
#

For real man

lapis yew
#

Pseudogiants and Controllers are less scary since both can be dealt with grenades.

sand oar
#

Yeah

#

Controller ate my grenade and laid DOWN right next to ghost

lapis yew
#

Plus, Controllers are slow, just get close to them and pump them with lead.

sand oar
#

When I first saw a succ I literally almost pushed my desk through the wall

#

I was like "THIS IS A SCARY GAME???"

tired anvil
#

CoP has naked men in coats as mutants

sand oar
#

That's literally one detail people left out when telling me about STALKER

"what do you mean more enemies doesn't make it truly difficult just makes it unfair?"-misery devs
it gets better after the start when you get into the rhythmzak

marsh ocean
#

:D

#

and someone had the balls to say Anomaly is unfair

hazy helm
#

man,boars in anomaly melt my health bar and just are masters of the sneak skill

#

I got no problems with the other mutants but boars?hate the lot

marsh ocean
#

Boars were easy soon as you strafed in circles, they cant turn for poopers

hazy helm
#

if you know they are charging ahead

#

they can go by behind and my ape brain doesn't detect them

marsh ocean
#

well yea given that you see them

#

also big heavy boars dont make footstep sounds

hazy helm
#

and once they got you one time?most times they kill you bc they hunt in packs,probs 3 at a time

#

if I dont get killed by ninja boars the hit to my armor is so great I just reload a save to when I was still at a safe space

marsh ocean
#

and misery sure runs quite poorly

#

compared to anomaly

hazy helm
#

yhea but both run like a dumpster tho

#

at least on mine

marsh ocean
#

:P

#

just want to get my hands on S2

hazy helm
#

I couldn't complete misery bc I got to the duty space anomaly zone and LOADS of stalkers were there,tanking my preformance and destroying the game

marsh ocean
#

oof

lapis yew
#

Well... I messed up. Made an enemy of Freedom when doing side-quests for Duty. Is there any way I can restore it back to neutral?

hazy helm
#

disguise as freedom and do freedom quests

#

I think

#

you playing SoC?

lapis yew
#

Yes

#

Wait... you can disguise yourself...?

hazy helm
#

nha

#

I was thinking of smth else

#

well,only thing you can do is live with the consequences or load a save zak

lapis yew
#

Great... either I live with the consequences, or load a save and not get the Sniper Val

#

Decisions, decisions.

#

Even worse, the majority of my items are stored in the barracks of Freedom.

leaden hamlet
lapis yew
#

Yeah, killed the corrupt Duty members and the relationship wasn't affected. Ugh, I wish this game had a sensible stealth mechanics. You know what they say:

"Its not a crime if you're not caught"

#

Or

#

"There will be no witnesses if there is no one to witness it"

robust forge
#

And I wouldn't like there to be a full fledged stealth system which would have an effect on stuff like affiliation

#

It kinda locks the player in that freedom to do anything

#

So, he does anything without consequences

lapis yew
#

Yeah... though, they do need to revise the stealth aspects to be a bit better to an extent.

robust forge
#

I mean, they need to revise them to actually work

lapis yew
#

But eh, as for factions and stuff, if you do it too much, then they'll notice that its the player doing it.

robust forge
#

Although I kinda like how that og system forces you not into "press crouch and slowly pick off everyone" but the "fight or flight" mentality

#

Because honestly

#

I'm tired of stealth in games

#

Unless it is a proper stealth game

lapis yew
#

Well, I can see why. Many games encourage too much on stealth many times. Sometimes, its just better or outright fun to go all in.

#

I'd like a game that allows players to do their own play styles.

#

Stealth is optional

robust forge
#

Most of the times games which portray stealth being optional make it so stealth is the most efficient and safe way to play, almost forcing the player to do stealth

lapis yew
#

I'd rather make stealth just out right optional and not too complicated. Because I admit, going straight into a bandit camp guns blazing is fun and faster to deal with them.

pseudo yoke
#

The one thing i can commend Anomaly for is grafix and how well it runs

pseudo rivet
lapis yew
#

But the Sniper VAL was so cool...

#

The VSS is cool, but 10 rounds before reload makes it quite the pain.

finite dragon
#

Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!

marsh ocean
#

Talking about stealth in games. Anyone ever managed to play skyrim with anything else than stealth archer :P ?

hushed aurora
#

Yes

marsh ocean
#

damn.

hushed aurora
#

The combat is awful but it's pretty possible,

marsh ocean
#

i rise my hat

#

i once tried to start was warrior. 1 hour later i was stealth archer

hushed aurora
#

I mean it's not really hard it's just spamming left click kek, and timing the blocking

#

And having a decent set of perks

finite dragon
#

stealth archer is impossible to avoid

#

it's too optimal

hushed aurora
#

I've used it and yeah it's pretty good, but the others are viable too (not to say they are better because they aren't and melee combat in Skyrim is awful)

marsh ocean
#

wonder if they bothered to even update the engine or use an actually good one for the ES6

boreal sky
#

They're under Microsofts whip now so I'm sure they're doing lots of reforming

#

Thank God for that

marsh ocean
#

well. cant be any worse than the games they have pushed out in years

#

the games only turned out amazing after modders

finite dragon
#

gamebryo isn't a bad engine, its mostly the scripting engine that has issues

#

(papyrus)

#

and the renderer

#

they just did a poor job updating it

boreal sky
marsh ocean
#

they knew they dont have to put in the effort. Modders will finish their poo anyways

hazy helm
#

morrowind was more restricted and rewarding,you had to set your sights on smth and get there

#

on skyrim you can be wahtever as long as your level is high enough

marsh ocean
#

and skyrim is only goof after heavy modding

#

good

finite dragon
#

morrowind was also so broken that you could basiclaly breeze past any challenge with a few exploits

#

the sentiment of old good new bad is just dumb

hazy helm
#

I liked the balancing of magic tho

boreal sky
#

Morrowind had lore and exploration going for it, everything else was bad

hazy helm
#

it's OP but its balanced in a sense that its hard to get so when you get it you have this feel

marsh ocean
#

sadly. Bethesda is over praised studio

finite dragon
#

since when?

#

for the past like...5 years theyve had almost nothing but bad press

marsh ocean
#

is it 5 years since 76 already ?

finite dragon
#

even before 76 theyve had bad press

#

and no, it didnt come out 5 years ago

marsh ocean
#

phew

hazy helm
marsh ocean
#

nearly scared me there

hazy helm
#

both skyrim and FO4 aren't bad games in merits but their baggages make them bad

finite dragon
#

oh please, dont pretend like morrowind wasnt stupidly simple either

#

none of their games have any real depth

hazy helm
#

story wise?morrowind was better than any of the later

#

and had more indepth mechanics

finite dragon
#

morrowind is just as linear and straightforward as any of the other games

#

the only difference is there isn't an arrow and there's slightly more text

marsh ocean
#
  • Memories grow sweeter with time *
hazy helm
#

is a linear story bad?

finite dragon
#

this is coming from someone who likes morrowind btw

hazy helm
#

although yes I wouldve liked non linearity I don't feel as tho its bad bc it doesnt have it

lapis yew
#

Out of curiosity, what will happen if I edit the codes of some guns to allow them to have attachments. I mean, the storming obokan has a grenade launcher, why can't I give the regular AN-94 the same?

the storming obokan is unique

#

chances are though the game will crash

Obokan,wasn't it akban?

There are two things that could happen

  1. It won't work

ive always wondered, why are the stalker controls so weird by default

ive never seen a game use X as default sprint key

or 3 for the primary weapon

maybe its made for russian keyboard?

I don't find the default controls too weird, weirdly enough smile_degtyarev

yeah you get used to them quite quickly

I pretty much never change them

buoyant kite

its the first thing i do when i play a new stalker mod lol

i played coc with the default controls tho

hushed aurora

The only thing i'd change would be probably setting inventory to tab

Or pda to tab

yeah, i have my pda set to M cause its basically a map
