[finite dragon]

First fight

[pseudo yoke]

If you're not good at games, maybe

[gusty trench]

Hunting "Rifle" was piece of crap

[finite dragon]

Yea

[scarlet oracle]

When I play stalker, I need to be able to feel like I'm about to pull my hair out

[finite dragon]

Yea!

[pseudo yoke]

Stalker should not be easy

It definitely shouldn't be fair, because the Zone isn't fair

[finite dragon]

It should be challenging

[scarlet oracle]

If you make stalker easy it's basically just fallout nv without the rpg stuff

[pseudo yoke]

The Zone should be the filter

Only the best, or luckiest survive

[gusty trench]

It was easy from the start. ShoC was the easiest

[shadow drift]

i agree, but it should at least explain that the green icon on the artifacts is resistance, and human enemies shouldnt be bullet sponges
it's one thing when the player is scared of moving around because the world is dangerous, and it's the other when they dump a pmm mag into a guy with a leather jacket and he just brushes it off

there is a balance to be found here alright

[pseudo yoke]

I mean green = good

In literally every first world nation

Red = bad

[finite dragon]

Call of pripyat was easiest

[pseudo yoke]

That's like, toddler stuff

[shadow drift]

and orange can have positive effects
but then you have health +500% and it's like

what

[pseudo yoke]

Make it harder

[finite dragon]

Only thing hard about Call of Pripyat was keeping people alive

[pseudo yoke]

That's more the bad ai

[finite dragon]

I agree but at least give us a rifle at the beginning

Who tf is gonna go into extremely dangerous area with a 9mm pistol

[shadow drift]

green = resistance but orange = active effect and it's never stated anywhere
it's less accessible, and doesnt tie into the world being dangerous because well it's kinda the game's fault for putting an unexplained ui element

so if explaining that means the game is more accessible - then it's good
when the game simplifies the inventory system by removing carrying weight making it more accessible - then it's bad

so im all down for the game making improvements to fit a wider audience without it really affecting the people that DO want to suffer and be confused

[pseudo yoke]

Streloks

[finite dragon]

That's true

But would you?

[pseudo yoke]

If it's all I had? Yes

I'd go to the Zone unarmed right now if it was real

[finite dragon]

Why tf

[pseudo yoke]

The real world is the big gay

[finite dragon]

That's true

But rifles are cool

I love krinkovs

[gusty trench]

Can I make it harder without downloading "mods"?

[pseudo yoke]

No

Just play on master

[gusty trench]

Here it goes.

How do I fix artifacts being everywhere and having a solid price?

How do I also fix the game's economy if I can get 50k in under a hour?

[mystic anchor]

Just beat clear sky

[pseudo yoke]

You cant unless you mod it yourself

[mystic anchor]

Now I see why people say it has a shitty ending

[pseudo yoke]

@mystic anchor Good, did you like it?

[mystic anchor]

Yeah it was fun, had a lot of really neat features that weren’t really refined upon

Definitely doesn’t deserve the hate it gets, but I see now why it’s considered the worst of the series

[pseudo yoke]

||that's because it is the worst :)||

[mystic anchor]

Now on to Call of Pripiyat

[pseudo yoke]

One thing you might miss is the lack of people and mutants in cop

also the clear sky graphics

[mystic anchor]

Yeah I heard that there isn’t that much human combat in COP

[pseudo yoke]

There isn't

The Zone is really barren in CoP

[mystic anchor]

Sad

[pseudo yoke]

Which kinda helps I guess, since its not a populated area in the Zone

[shadow drift]

pretty sure you can completely avoid any human combat untill the final quarter of the game

[mystic anchor]

Wow, even bandits?

[pseudo yoke]

Yeah

[shadow drift]

yes

[pseudo yoke]

You'll see why

[shadow drift]

none of the main quests up untill the final hours require you to shoot people

the side quests are a different story

[mystic anchor]

I will find out for myself tomorrow and report back once I beat it

Also it’s funny that deep silver published CS

They really love eurojank

[shadow drift]

but the side quests are also the meat of the game imo unlike the first couple games

[mystic anchor]

Well that’s good, I liked the side quests in SOC, I felt like CS had a distinct lack of them, but maybe that’s because of the faction wars system

“No, I don’t”

That’s my favorite line of the game

[shadow drift]

cop makes them actual substories and they have actual choice

[mystic anchor]

Yeah I heard that before and I can’t wait to try it

[shadow drift]

it's never just "go there kil that go bac get mone"

[mystic anchor]

Just for context I’m binging the stalker and metro series to hype myself up for 2

Once I’m done that I’ll prolly start anomaly and maybe the beeg stalker mods

[finite dragon]

Dead air

[mystic anchor]

Mehbeh

Another thing I found funny about CS is that I crashed 10 times more in it than I did in SHoC

Which was like once

[shadow drift]

relatable

[mystic anchor]

I did love the voice lines and character animations tho

Really added a lot of character to the characters

[pseudo yoke]

The firefight animations for CS were nice

[mystic anchor]

Especially freedom

[pseudo yoke]

blindfiring and leaning and stuff

[shadow drift]

i completely forgot about those til i replayed it, was a nice suprise

[mystic anchor]

Yeah it was always dope seeing that

[shadow drift]

"YOO DID HE JUST VAULT OVER THAT"

[finite dragon]

That's pretty cool

I never noticed it

Tho

But that's impressive

[mystic anchor]

The only thing I hated about it was dudes going prone

Because I thought they were dead then they’d blast me

[finite dragon]

Like real life

[mystic anchor]

Tru

[finite dragon]

Except you can eat sosig heal

[mystic anchor]

mmm. deit sosg...

[finite dragon]

Ver nice

Oh no I'm. Dying with multiple bullets in me

Хлеб time

[gusty trench]

I did it many times

[mystic anchor]

Thoughts?

[gusty trench]

It's awesome! Better than ShoC

[mystic anchor]

Is that a joke or

It’s hard to tell over text

Bc I can see how one could like it more than SOC

[gusty trench]

It's not a joke. I like the start of the game, new gun mechanics, character models, graphics, story and many, many things more.

[mystic anchor]

Yeah I agree, it def has a lot more character and I really like how they expanded upon the lore

[gusty trench]

Also. The new locations like Red Forest are cool

[mystic anchor]

Yeah red forest was great

It just felt unfinished and I really wish it didn’t

Plus I think this is the first game to feature bandit radio, right? I don’t remember hearing it in soc

[gusty trench]

Yes. It's played on their base on Garbage.

[mystic anchor]

And I also liked how they expanded upon each factions motives

[gusty trench]

Correction. In their bar "Super Хавчик"

[mystic anchor]

Cuz they felt pretty shallow in SoC

once I heard that while I was going sneeki breeki in their base I regretted joining loners

The only other time I played CS before was with the Road to Limansk mod

[finite dragon]

Slightly imo

[pseudo yoke]

SoC > CS = CoP

[finite dragon]

Cop my favorite

I played it first idek why

Then i did cs

Then i did shoc

When i was like 12 i think

[zenith timber]

you guys mind if i ask for some advice on this part im having trouble with in SoC?

[mystic anchor]

Go ahead

[sand oar]

I'm about to step foot inside of CNPP

[mystic anchor]

||Иди ко мне||

[sand oar]

ты в чернобыле :o

[zenith timber]

so in the mission finding strelok's stash i went down into the tunnels, killed the bandits, killed the bloodsucker, and then left because i was low on health and didnt have bandages or medkits. so when i came back the soldiers had gone to places that make it really hard to deal with them and i think if i had tried to engage them after killing the bloodsucker i wouldve had more success because most of them wouldve been in front of me. also i still dont have any medkits or bandages so whats the best way of going about this?

im sorry if that doesnt make sense

[sand oar]

Quick save

And shoot one take his meds

And keep trying?

I was in a similar situation

I was low ammo and meds

Sitting in a corner

With a pistol

Aim for the head is all I can say

[zenith timber]

ok i'll try that

thanks

[mystic anchor]

Yeah or you could try to find some stalkers with meds and buy some off of them

[sand oar]

I've never bought meds now that I think of it

If I'm low health I save then kill a couple and save again

Steal their stuff and repeat

[mystic anchor]

Definitely use your quicksave/quickload abilities

[sand oar]

I try not to but in situations like that I do

[mystic anchor]

Theres also some grenades in one of the small metal boxes in the bloodsucker lair

[sand oar]

Wasn't there meds too?

[mystic anchor]

I’m not sure

[sand oar]

I think he's already taking the bull by the horns

[mystic anchor]

But streloks hideout also has some supplies as well

[sand oar]

Ye

I was lost looking for his flash drive

[mystic anchor]

And there’s more bulls to come

[sand oar]

Then discovered holding F

[sand oar]

Ain't that the truth

[mystic anchor]

Greatest tactic a stalker can use

[sand oar]

I think I'm pushing 30 hours of gameplay

:]

FINALLY I have reached Chernobyl and am half scared to step foot inside

[mystic anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-gif-4928619

[sand oar]

But what if I die

:]

I heard a cat screaming

[zenith timber]

ok thanks you guys i think i have an idea of how to do this

[sand oar]

YAY

[zenith timber]

and also gl

[sand oar]

I was helpful

Yes ty

[zenith timber]

youre welcome

[sand oar]

Not a good sign when it gave me a cutscene for it

[zenith timber]

oh boy

[zenith timber]

i did it

thanks so much you two

[sand oar]

I finished the game

[gusty trench]

🥳

[sand oar]

Let's say

I completed the first task on my pda

:[

[zenith timber]

nice

[sand oar]

Strelok dead for sure

[zenith timber]

oh yea i see what you meant there

[sand oar]

Have you beat SoC

[zenith timber]

not yet

just got it recently

[sand oar]

It's very epic game

[zenith timber]

yea ive had a lot of fun with it so far

[sand oar]

Time for CS tomorrow cuz sleep is good

[jade thunder]

So does anyone know what's currently going on with the Phone number and Cipher?

[leaden hamlet]

There's actually a whole server dedicated to this that's been set up. Here's (one of the mods posting) a link: #⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[half stone]

Damn thx for the link. I was looking for it @leaden hamlet

[finite dragon]

If i hear just one sound from you, i'll gun you down, you hear me? All-in-all, just think how many commanders have popped up so far eh?! 3? 6? Or was it 10 already? Is anybody even counting?

[shadow urchin]

I'd ask with which ending , but i would not want to spoil it for other newbies

[hazy helm]

I wonder if it one of the wish granter endings

[hazy helm]

hmm...

[shadow urchin]

Makes sense

[finite dragon]

GRANATA BATSANE!

https://tenor.com/view/fail-echec-throw-smoke-gif-14481068

[finite dragon]

do you prefer stalker anomaly or dead air?

[lapis yew]

Hey guys, in Army Warehouses, is normal that you're screen becomes hazy when you walk nearby the village?

[glossy condor]

In SoC?

[lapis yew]

Ye

[leaden hamlet]

In that case then; Yes, it is if there's a Controller nearby. 😯

[glossy condor]

Yeah prob normal

Haven’t played SoC in a while

But it would make sense with all the bloodsuckers

[lapis yew]

Ah, guess I'll be avoiding that place in a while since fighting both Controller and Succs are going to be a huge pain.

[glossy condor]

Is it for the duty mission?

[lapis yew]

Nah, I accepted a side-quest from Freedom to eliminate the mercenary camp, and of course, I have to walk nearby the village and the screen started going hazy. It almost costed me when I was trying to fight the mercs but I managed.

[glossy condor]

Ah ok

Yeah I’d just avoid the village if possible if you don’t feel like dealing with it

[lapis yew]

Yeah, hate that place. I'm more afraid of going to a place where Bloodsuckers are known to roam in. I'd rather get jumped on them at random. Which for some reason, less scary.

[glossy condor]

Lol

Alright I gotta bounce

[sand oar]

Yes

[hazy helm]

meaning you didn't get the decoder from Pripryat?you need to,real ending man

[sand oar]

Ive noticed

[hazy helm]

you shouldve gotten a mission to meet up with doc before entering Prypriat if I recall

[sand oar]

I did

I got the decoder

But didn't expect the wish granter to do what it did

[hazy helm]

well,it makes sense looking at its inspirations

[sand oar]

Thats what replay throughs are for :3

Its a very replayable game

[sand oar]

You know what the creepiest thing is

Seeing ||monolith praying||

[shadow urchin]

Well that is a great part of the game to get trapped into your own character

[sullen dragon]

NO

[sullen dragon]

all hail the great antenna

[solid dome]

Strelok hired another Strelok to do strelok things

You do know Strelok in Russian means sniper, right?

Snipe off some -vulgar word-

[sand oar]

I thought it meant "shooter, Gunslinger, Rifleman"?

[tired anvil]

It does

[solid prism]

Does Skif means something in Russian?

[tired anvil]

When I asked, I didn't recall anything significant

[solid prism]

[leaden hamlet]

It's a romanisation of the word "скиф" which means "Scythian". The Scythians were a 3-7 Century BC nomadic people who inhabited a large part of the Eurasian Steppe, including modern-day Crimea.

[solid prism]

Interesting...thanks for the info!

[sullen dragon]

whatever coffee said, it means shooter but according to my verified source he understood it as rifleman

[tired anvil]

Shooter/Rifleman/Gunslinger all pretty similar and mean it

[leaden hamlet]

KILL GUNSLINGER

[sand oar]

Sounds scary

Imagine loading into a fresh game

And ur literal first mission is "kill a man named gunslinger"

Not go kill some weak dogs or sum

Kill a legend named GUNSLINGER

[hushed aurora]

I mean it sounds a bit, generic

[frail spire]

"The Stalker, the bandit, and the monolith"

[finite dragon]

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!

[lime bear]

I could just be stupid but I'm not a super big fan of the map on SoC

just a pain to use

[tired anvil]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing wrong with disliking something

[lime bear]

im just starting so ill probably get used to it

the inverted scrolling tho haha

the first gun seems almost like a marshmallow gun

the pistol

bleh

[frail spire]

Get good

[tired anvil]

Slavic Super Soaker

[lime bear]

shotgun is better 😄

but yeah overall having fun so far

[tired anvil]

[sand oar]

Once you grab an AK youll be good

[hushed aurora]

Unless it's a 74u

[leaden hamlet]

You literally boot OLR and are treated with a low-res video of whirling red mists with the words "KILL GUNSLINGER" fading in and out.

[hushed aurora]

[opaque parrot]

Seeing all these new addons and stuff for the lastest version of Anomaly mod I think we already got Stalker 2

Especially the Tarkov addons

[pseudo yoke]

not stable enough

[sand oar]

Im happy the devs dont seem to want to release stalker 2 early otherwise it could be a mess like 2077

Or im dumb and haven't read everything

[hushed aurora]

What i've seen is the they don't want to show you lots of stuff and tell you every bit of what the game is gonna have

[sand oar]

I like that

[hushed aurora]

Prolly because they don't want to rise the hype to a point where it can't deliver

[sand oar]

Keeps it fresh

Like trailers nowadays reveal too much

[hushed aurora]

Like there's no point in showing every single thing about the game if the release ain't gonna have all of that

It seems like they want to keep stuff as they know they can handle

Dunno if you get me

Like they aren't promising what they can't do

[sand oar]

Yea

I like the mystery aspect anyway

Makes you more hyped than knowing exactly what you get

[solid dome]

Yeah, sniper's actually a rifleman. Makes sense 😄

[frail spire]

How about showing gameplay? Like, actual gameplay

[finite dragon]

So I went to fight in arena and lost all my artifacts for some reason

And stuff

[sand oar]

Theres a box next to the person

@finite dragon

In the room where you come back from the arena theres a blue box

[finite dragon]

Oh lol thanks

I see it now

I just wasted 100k on all new stuff lol

[sand oar]

OOF

Go to a past save?

[tired anvil]

Playing for the first time?

[sand oar]

I found it by accident myself

[finite dragon]

Playing for first time in a couple years

[solid dome]

Of...? Stallker 2?

Old concept stalled

[mental river]

they updated anomaly again?!

[solid dome]

1.5 final out

It's considered stable already, not beta

[pseudo yoke]

Showing gameplay is a meme

[sullen dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6G6AW7oApA

[eager oyster]

^ That's actual gameplay

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-excited-dance-dance-move-smile-gif-16099354

[hazy helm]

yoo,nice

thanks for the link of the song man

[gusty trench]

Why do people prefer ShoC over CS and CoP?
It's a lot worse compared to those two stalker games. Graphics sucks a lot. It doesn't support DX10 properly, unrealistically-looking yellow filter, weird character models. The game contains tons of bugs, artifacts lie everywhere so it's not fun to hunt them down, shooting mechanics is weird (also some animations suck - GP37 uses wrong animation when you holster it), you can become a millionaire in less than 2 hours, the game has weird economy system, when NATO guns usually cost 10k~ max but GP37 - 135k rubles.
Side quests aren't interesting compared to the CoP's ones.
In general, they are worse.
(Also. ShoC PMm texture sucks)

[pseudo rivet]

ShoC

Not saying SoC

[gusty trench]

Cock?

Would be much correct

[pseudo rivet]

Hen

[hushed aurora]

[finite dragon]

Hello

[shadow drift]

because it's charming as hell

it has a completely different atmosphere compared to cs and cop in my opinion

and i honestly prefer it

mechanically? CoP
for quests? CoP wins again
graphics? you guessed it

[pseudo rivet]

CS

[hushed aurora]

CS

[verbal hemlock]

CS and CoP have their own charming atmospheres as well tho

[shadow drift]

but for the overall feel and atmosphere? SoC takes the cake for me

[verbal hemlock]

all three are great

[hushed aurora]

Ye

[tired anvil]

SoC happens to be my least favourite

[hushed aurora]

My hours can talk for myself on this one

[shadow drift]

like, the zone in SoC feels populated, but doesnt have the odd way of using that population like CS
im no critic and english isnt my primary language so icant really put it into words

[verbal hemlock]

I think I get what you mean

[pseudo rivet]

SoC was after the Faction Wars, so yeah, SoC is less populated

[shadow drift]

it doesnt really feel that much less populated tbh
it's just that people arent constantly sprinting somewhre to get into a gunfight 24/7

[verbal hemlock]

CS’s squads and squad leader mechanics goes too far in disrupting the atmosphere and the feeling of the characters, especially when you know most guys you see are probably gonna die in a meaningless faction battle

still though I like it in its own right

but I get what you mean

[hushed aurora]

CS is the most action game so yeah

And the zone is less populated in SoC, and even less in CoP

[pseudo rivet]

There is a reason for the faction wars between the factions, so it makes sense

[verbal hemlock]

I like the storyline of Freedom and Duty’s war progressively making them weaker and weaker throughout the trilogy to the point of their truce in Yanov

[shadow drift]

it makes sense, but it aint done well imo

[pseudo rivet]

After all, the Neutrals want revenge, Bandits are too cocky, Freedom wants to protect the Zone by destroying Duty and Duty wants to bring order to the Zone

[shadow drift]

in SOC it feels like people are just trying to survive or make some money, and CS seems like they just hate the other faction and want it wiped out

and nothing else

[pseudo rivet]

Because that's pretty much how it was back then

Some exceptions exist, of course

After all, after the Emission in CS, the whole Zone changed and became even more alien than it already was

Many areas opened up, people wanted to explore the uncharted areas of the Zone and score big

[gusty trench]

Faction Wars could be a good idea but realization sucks

[shadow drift]

well again, it makes sense but it's so different from how "cozy" SOC feels and im not a big fan at all

[pseudo rivet]

It's a different chapter of the Zone, so fair enough

[verbal hemlock]

Hey the Clear Sky base is cozy

[pseudo rivet]

And the Gulp of Freedom

[shadow drift]

CoP is great too
it really sets the mood of how everyone is really tired of fighting at this point
like faction are even willing to call a cease fire, and in that one CoP ending ||most just leave duty/freedom altogether||

[verbal hemlock]

I love how Freedom just gets absolutely destroyed if you don’t take part in the faction war, and the only reason they still exist is because Duty just doesn’t enter the Dark Valley on its own

[pseudo rivet]

Depends on each playthrough

[verbal hemlock]

oh yeah for sure

[gusty trench]

Scar doesn't look like he likes Duty, btw

[pseudo rivet]

Sometimes Freedom gets lucky, other times Duty

It's a lot of back and forth between the two if you don't participate

[verbal hemlock]

idk I’ve always seen Freedom get their butts kicked in the Garbage and the Military Warehouses until everything calms down, and then Duty controls most of those two zones

[pseudo rivet]

Vice versa

Although it's mostly a stalemate between the two

[verbal hemlock]

it seems much more like an uphill battle if you side with freedom

mostly because Ashot and Yar are turning their base into a used car dealership

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom's Faction War is easy

[shadow drift]

also about CoP
when the 2 primary factions just sit in the same station and throw jokes at each other instead of shooting it out also helps to give the feel of "yo maybe they dont even care about killing each other that much anymore"

[pseudo rivet]

I'm having more trouble with Duty's, including less fun

[verbal hemlock]

fair enough

[gusty trench]

Also, devs also show some support for Freedom. Their statements are much resonable for sure compared to what Duty members say.

[pseudo rivet]

They do try to roast each other, which is pretty interesting

[verbal hemlock]

And then you leave Yanov and you see them slaughtering each other even more than before while stalkers are getting eaten by zombies and bloodsuckers. Lol. Conflicting messages

[shadow drift]

both have decent points, but duty are honestly kinda silly if they since they ignore the zone's expansion

yup true

[verbal hemlock]

Kremen: Maybe you should all wear monolith uniforms, lest the stalkers mistake you for humans!

[pseudo rivet]

If the Zone is even expanding at all

[shadow drift]

also that
but yeah they both have points that do make sense

[tired anvil]

Where's that quote you found yesterday about it being confirmed to not expand

[pseudo rivet]

The only point Duty really has is protecting Stalkers from mutants, which are attracted to Duty's presence

[pseudo rivet]

Sorta confirmed, but not exactly

[gusty trench]

... but Stalkers don't seem to like Duty

nor Freedom

[shadow drift]

well i mean
zone bad kill things that come out of the zone because it harms humans
easy enough and makes sense

[tired anvil]

People join Duty only for the uniforms

It's their best trait

[verbal hemlock]

bro I recruited the Monolith squad into Duty (mostly out of necessity because I had to do Diplomat and General’s PDA just to get a faction to accept them) and the five of them beyond Strider went out into Yanov and eventually got killed by Freedom (Armor literally got executed after being wounded) when I couldn’t save them. Sad 😭

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, they literally just join for the gear

[wicked current]

straight up gear yeah

and safety in numbers, i guess.

[tired anvil]

[hushed aurora]

Damn

[shadow drift]

sense of unity and proper organization helps

[gusty trench]

Duty members wear nice red'n'black anarchists uniform for sure

[verbal hemlock]

The STALKERs seem to like duty for the protection they can provide. See Agroprom in CS, Rostok in SoC

Stalkers didn’t have any problems with them then

[wicked current]

confirmed by CS dialogue.

[tired anvil]

Yea, see Orest talking about Duty backstabbing them and being sick of their propaganda

[pseudo rivet]

But yeah, Duty even says that there are no mutants and anomalies in the Big Land

[gusty trench]

How would anomalies appear outside of the Zone?

[hushed aurora]

Isn't there a sidequest in SoC of Duty sending the Marked One to kill some Stalkers tho

That helped them back in CS

[pseudo rivet]

"Bcuz expanson"

That doesn't exist, of course

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

[gusty trench]

Voronin is an as-...

[shadow drift]

but what if
hear me out

what if the zone's expansion isnt going to be because of the anomalies and mutants

[verbal hemlock]

are SoC’s generated side quests reliable lore tho

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[shadow drift]

but because of all the artifacts people keep bringing out

who knows what will happen if you keep taking hell rocks out of the zone

[pseudo rivet]

Souvenirs

[shadow drift]

they arent even properly explained

[tired anvil]

Voronin is Charon

[hushed aurora]

Lmao what

[verbal hemlock]

lmao

[gusty trench]

The Marked One is Sidor-...

[pseudo rivet]

Artifacts are basically anomalous energy in a stable form

[verbal hemlock]

The Major is Strelok

[tired anvil]

Laugh all you want, but unless my memory is fuzzy, Charon's original model was the Voronin one

[verbal hemlock]

he gave the notes back to himself

[hushed aurora]

Lmao

[verbal hemlock]

is like fight club

[pseudo rivet]

Right

[hushed aurora]

Kek

[gusty trench]

A lot of Characters use the same model

[verbal hemlock]

The Major is Strelok, he’s Tyler Durden

[gusty trench]

Fox and Guido (If i'm not wrong)

Ghost has the same model as Yoga

[tired anvil]

Guido?

[pseudo rivet]

Guide

But nah, those aren't the same

[gusty trench]

Yep. I checked. One sec. I'll try to find some characters...

[lean igloo]

lol

[simple flint]

Hy, how unlock the voice chat Stalkers?

[gusty trench]

Guide, Mole and Zheka Duplet f.e.

[tired anvil]

They're unlocked for everyone

[simple flint]

But why?

[tired anvil]

Last one is cut so he doesn't count

[tired anvil]

Why what?

[gusty trench]

Then. Father Valerian and Skinflint (he uses edited texture)

Then... I'm too lazy. You can find them by yourselves if you pay attention and don't play the games like complete id-...

[simple flint]

For me lock

[tired anvil]

I'm not sure, it should be unlocked

[simple flint]

Maybe I should have some lvl?

Sorry for my English

[tired anvil]

I don't think so, but you can try

[pseudo rivet]

Bes Moment

[grand pendant]

yeah, he was implemented around 2005, supposed to appear in Pripyat in 2205 or 2232 but since those builds don't have Pripyat he's just chilling on the files

[robust forge]

Suits him more ngl

[leaden hamlet]

Well that's a conspiracy theory waiting to happen, innit? 😆

[finite dragon]

Isn't charon bald

Or is that the other guy

[grand pendant]

you can't see Charon's face, i assume you meant Strider

[finite dragon]

There should have been some kind special monolit robes charon wears,

[finite dragon]

Oh

[opaque parrot]

HOLD YOUR WEAPONS HIGH!

[leaden hamlet]

🎵 When you're walking through a storm! Hold your head up high, the wind is blowing somewhere along! 🎵
||If anyone gets that, I'll be very surprised. ||

[opaque parrot]

@leaden hamlet Tbh it's awfully familiar but I can't picture it

At first I thought it's "You'll never walk alone", but nah

Tell me!

[pseudo rivet]

On this rock

[sand oar]

Sidorovich's voice was refreshing to hear last night

I got to cordon saved and went to bed

The faction wars are fun

[finite dragon]

monolit...

Would Stalker SOC be worth streaming? I’ve never ever played it before and figure if I share my first experience by streaming it, it may be ideal content/fun for the community

[shadow urchin]

It is fun

But i'd say mostly the old community is into it @finite dragon

[finite dragon]

So I see. Well. I’ll def think about streaming it then. I’d like to get to know the community and even get help as I play the game live.

[signal dove]

Man, I was asking a few months ago about a song in Stalker that had a soundbite of what sounded like some older, soviet-era marching song or whatever

and then I gave up after nobody knew what I was talking about

Turns out it's from the Pripyat Day theme from CoP and I never even noticed

[leaden hamlet]

[finite dragon]

hey i got a question

[leaden hamlet]

Go on then, I'm sure we can permit it.

[finite dragon]

i just got my double barrel shotgun repaired and it is jamming when it is full how do i unjam it

im using that weapon jamming mod

you unload and then reload?

right

[leaden hamlet]

Never used the mod myself, but I'd imagine, as you say, you'd need to unload it via your inventory and equip & reload it. 👍

[eager oyster]

imagine if you got a PDA notification from that STUD to go retrieve his magical vodka bottle from a lair of pseudogiants, you prolly would, in a heartbeat ||sarcasm||

[finite dragon]

thanks

does not work ahhh

i unload the shotgun

then i reload it

still jams

die to psuedodogs

[sand oar]

Get a new gun ig

[finite dragon]

i just repaired this tho

i guess the gun is just broken

[sand oar]

gun damaged
fixes
gun even more broke
soviet

[leaden hamlet]

Or the mod. Did you get it from ModDB? Anyone in the comments on the mod page having similar experiences?

[finite dragon]

lmao

[finite dragon]

the problem was that there is a unjam button that i was not pressing

but thanks

[leaden hamlet]

Ah, I see. Glad you solved it mate! 👍

[finite dragon]

i am so proud of this community

you guys have have been working for 10 years to keep this game alive, there are countless mods and its really nice to think about how far things have come

it is sad i only discovered this game in 2018

[sand oar]

Sad i only discovered the game 2 months ago

[leaden hamlet]

Better late than never! 👍

[sand oar]

Ive only heard whispers of the games about a year ago

[little beacon]

Stalker is one of those games that only small number of people will play it and stick to it for ever!
And that makes it a real special game

[finite dragon]

yea

i hope it doesnt blow up when s2 comes out

I have not felt this bad for the whole week! Beware, everyone!

[shadow urchin]

I have the same feeling Major Nickie , it must be the brain scorcher ?

[sand oar]

Idk who that is must be a later character

[finite dragon]

No. It's only a hangover...

[finite dragon]

do you not know what the brain scorcher is

[sand oar]

No i do

[finite dragon]

okok

[sand oar]

Is major nickie a character in CS?

[finite dragon]

no

[sand oar]

He seems to just say what i assume is npc talk

[shadow urchin]

oh you must realize soon 😄

[tired anvil]

Brain Scorcher is a pretty important character

[shadow urchin]

LOL

[sand oar]

I didnt mean that xd

[finite dragon]

Yeah, he...

Scorchs brains?

[sand oar]

I meant @finite dragon he seems to be acting like a cool npc

[leaden hamlet]

Were the whispers akin to the Monolith saying "come to me" over and over ago in the Sarco? 😁

[leaden hamlet]

I agree, to be honest.

[shadow urchin]

ye

they are

They say come over and we will make your wish come true

[little beacon]

Can we wish for Monolith to destroy itself?

[wary cove]

nope

[frail spire]

They do already so don't worry

Going against all factions is basically Zones population control

Or maybe as an immune system.

[little beacon]

@wary cove a monolith member defending the monolith?

[tired anvil]

Yes

[sand oar]

I dont speak russian but it was a deap voice repeating the same phrase of about 3-5 words

The voice made it less creepy actually

He drowned out the metal creaking

It felt welcoming

[shadow urchin]

You basically are a Monolith member after the ending that you've got

[sand oar]

Like i wanted to go to the voice

[past shuttle]

Which music in which stalker game you like the most?

[sand oar]

My ending was rich to say the least

[tired anvil]

It was saying “come to me”

[sand oar]

@shadow urchin

[tired anvil]

So you died

[shadow urchin]

lol greed ehh?

[past shuttle]

Lmao

[sand oar]

Yes

I had no idea that it factored money

[frail spire]

Told you to not miss the doorframe

[past shuttle]

@sand oar That's what you get for becoming freedoomer

[little beacon]

Mine was being rich too!

[past shuttle]

[sand oar]

I went back to an old save and went to the other place

[frail spire]

The only time you have money issues is during early hobo-phase

[past shuttle]

Phase you mean

Thats no problem

[sand oar]

I really didn't use money

[past shuttle]

The harder difficulty, the better

[sand oar]

I had killed military with a PMm

[robust forge]

Based

[sand oar]

I play on master

[shadow urchin]

ye vanilla is too easy

[robust forge]

Even more based

[past shuttle]

[robust forge]

Also, I don't think that you're doing a good thing looking for difficulty in stalker

I actually prefer my freeplays easy to manage

Because I use them more as walking simulators with guns

[past shuttle]

To be honest, I find these games easy

I think I am a hardcore fan

like @pseudo rivet

[shadow urchin]

Well i prefered Solyanka mod pretty open a lot of custom quests

a bit harder

[sand oar]

The only difficulty i had was in the CNPP

Mostly because i had bad armor

[past shuttle]

Lmao

[frail spire]

Difficulty can go far past enemies tho

[past shuttle]

You should have saved money for skat-9 military armor

[sand oar]

Yeah

[past shuttle]

Which requires 160k Rub

the best

[sand oar]

I had 200k

[past shuttle]

Even better than exoskeleton

[sand oar]

[shadow urchin]

going to the arena is easy money

[past shuttle]

[past shuttle]

I think not

[sand oar]

Thats what i did

[frail spire]

It is lmao

[sand oar]

I mostly did it to see how harder enemies are

[past shuttle]

One of the rounds is damn hard

Like literally

[woeful lynx]

which one?

[past shuttle]

2 military bois

with hardcore armour

with decent guns

[shadow urchin]

i thought you are hardcore

[sand oar]

I did that first time

[woeful lynx]

oh, that one might be tricky

[shadow urchin]

[past shuttle]

Yea, I suppose

[sand oar]

Idk if it was luck

But i got them both easily

[past shuttle]

@shadow urchin With experience, I get bored and it becomes easy

[frail spire]

Nah, most arena fights are easy, the only you may have issue with were with bandits simply to being outnumbered

[past shuttle]

Thats what I wanted to mean

[woeful lynx]

just nade em lol

[sand oar]

The bandits was easy

[woeful lynx]

let them rest in pieces

[past shuttle]

That one is the easiest

[sand oar]

Felt like a rampage

[frail spire]

Do you have a nade?

[sand oar]

I think

[past shuttle]

You get a grenade lmao

[woeful lynx]

yeah, I believe they give you one

[past shuttle]

One grenade and it is piece of cake

[frail spire]

Oh then I just gunned them down

[woeful lynx]

just make this grenade count

[sand oar]

I threw a grenade first then mowed the rest

Bandits are easy enough

[frail spire]

I usually never bother with nades unless I have to deal with pack of mutants

[past shuttle]

Grenades come in handy though

[sand oar]

If im undetected i throw a nade to start

[past shuttle]

Always carry at least two

[sand oar]

I carried 4

If not more

[frail spire]

I always carry 10

[sand oar]

One time i looked in my bag and there was 8

My magic number is around 6

[frail spire]

Since I usually go for pistols I have spare weight

[past shuttle]

There are two types of grenades though

[sand oar]

Unless its f1

[frail spire]

I mean the f1

[sand oar]

F1 nades i use 4

[frail spire]

Aka "mini nuke"

[past shuttle]

F1 is good for killing people

The other one is just for mutants

[frail spire]

Dunno, I've killed giants with well placed f1's

[past shuttle]

Cheeki breeki simulator goes nice with f1 grenades

[sand oar]

Is it me or is loot less around in CS

Ive only done the swamp area but they barely have meds

[past shuttle]

Not just you

It is easy to get meds though

Just eat those stashes you buy, simple

Some of them have meds

[sand oar]

I traveled to cordon and listened to sidorovich's epic voice then saved and went to bed

He said something about military

Ahead

[past shuttle]

Machine gunner

You gotta be careful there

He always sees you

No matter how you try to sneak

[frail spire]

Oh boy here comes the forced meme

Because some streamslut said it

[past shuttle]

@sand oar My advice is

[sand oar]

Said what

[past shuttle]

There is a short release among the bullets

Like a second or so

[frail spire]

You'll understand with time

[past shuttle]

If you make it right, you will be able to pass that hindrance

[sand oar]

Mkay

[past shuttle]

by running

Dont stop

Thats enough for ya

[sand oar]

Can you hit him with slugs at all?

[past shuttle]

No

Just dont try

Useless

[sand oar]

Ok

[frail spire]

I think it's force fielded

[past shuttle]

Yes

You can kill him later though

[frail spire]

I tried mind you

[past shuttle]

By ambushing the military on the other side

I once tried that and it worked

[frail spire]

Pistols, rifles, nades at insane angles while running and jumping

[past shuttle]

They overwhelm you though

Thats not a good thing to try for rookies

[sand oar]

I have an ak with 1 mag and then a hunting rifle and a PMm

[past shuttle]

That barrier is decent

@sand oar Got some slugs?

[sand oar]

Yea

[past shuttle]

Slugs will come in handy

[sand oar]

Pretty sure i got 12-20

If not ill go buy some

[past shuttle]

You can also get AK rounds in the swamp

a few mags I mean

[sand oar]

Ive only found buckshot, 9x18 and a few 9x19

[frail spire]

Or just go on in and manage

[past shuttle]

Should I give you a spoiler?

[sand oar]

No

[past shuttle]

Or maybe you should find those mags by yourself

[sand oar]

Yes

[past shuttle]

Exploring should be enough

They are not hard to find

They are not in a stash, either

Thats enough

[sand oar]

Ok

[past shuttle]

Lmao

[past shuttle]

That also works

I usually end up in lots of ammos

I never had that problem

[sand oar]

Ill prolly attack and if i find it too hard look for the ammo

[frail spire]

I always go in and manage missing more than half of the free stuff you get by exploring

[past shuttle]

[sand oar]

1 thing i could try to do is to grab ammo of a dead guy while running

Ive done It before

[frail spire]

Thats my life with videogames

[hushed aurora]

Did you got the Scope tho

At the swamps

[past shuttle]

Looks like meme channel had been exposed to an emission

[hushed aurora]

Since like months ago

[past shuttle]

@hushed aurora Bruh

It has only been one month

[hushed aurora]

Or just one month, my memory

Yeah

[past shuttle]

@hushed aurora Get your memory together and find cover when emission hits

You dont look so good to me

[frail spire]

"Oh did you picked up that thing that makes the game less of a pain?"
No
"Did you recruited that npc after a plot point which has the heal ability?"
Uh, no

[hushed aurora]

I am zombified bro

[little beacon]

@frail spire you are not alone man!

[hushed aurora]

Sounds relatable

[past shuttle]

@hushed aurora Stay away from scientists

[past shuttle]

Who are you referring to?

[frail spire]

"How did you beat the boss with instakill and poison then?"
Uhh, 'tism?

Just general

[past shuttle]

alright

I feel like playing the whole series again

Like they say

The zone always remains in you

even if you leave the zone

[little beacon]

You enter the zone, but it's the zone that choose who leave!

[frail spire]

Axchtually you were the zone all along and the "zone" its just a patch of land with mutants and anomalies

[past shuttle]

[wary cove]

"S.A.D" in both SoC and CS, and CoP ending credits theme
CS marsh themes were good too

[finite dragon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/lnia36/i_said_come_in_dont_stand_there_i_said_come_in

How absolutely BASED are the community managers

[tired anvil]

They also posted that on Twitter

[finite dragon]

They are chads for playing soup mods

Do you understand the implications of this?

It means the devs definetly played the soup mods

And they will be drawing inspiration from them

That's right

Stalker 2 will have you hunt down a controller, carry it all the way from the center to the bar, have its head sculpted into uncle Sid's and then finally have it be used as proof that Sid was assassinated

[tired anvil]

[hushed aurora]

Lmao

[finite dragon]

I'm gonna solve the 2.0.2.1. Cipher and I WILL get Grigorovich's pepsi

[tired anvil]

Solve the Venyamin one

[solid dome]

Rather fabulous attempt at restoring the Pepsiman

Don't peep too much, @finite dragon

You'd end up in a horrible peekaboo game

[glass grotto]

Hey, I have a question about streaming S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly on discord

[magic fable]

Hi, is Anomaly an excellent mod?

[frail spire]

It's a mod, give it a try

[glass grotto]

it looks good, but my friend has been having an issue while steaming it on discord

[frail spire]

Wouldn't say bad nor good

Just don't touch warfare mode since it's unstable af

[gusty trench]

Try vanilla

[magic fable]

I'm done doing vanilla.. Am actually using Atmosfear and Gunslinger

And Absolute Nature

It made the game so nice

[frail spire]

Anomaly is a standalone btw

[magic fable]

Aesthetically at least

Burers in Gunslinger are OP af

[frail spire]

If you really want to try mods I would also say ogsr (or something like that)

Crimson knew about other one which was barely machine translated but I never bothered with

I think it was NCL7? NC7?

Or something like that

[gusty trench]

NCR

[magic fable]

New California Republic?

Oh sory.. Wrong game

[gusty trench]

Patrolling the Zone almost makes you wish for a cold autumn.

[magic fable]

Ave.. True to Kimball

[frail spire]

I wonder if they would add something from Darkwood

Since they kinda talk about how you become part of something and you can't leave, literally

[willow charm]

wolfman already looks like a stalker

and he has his trusty kalash

[toxic vector]

what is the gun in 1:38?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a1AXcIYBYM

[hushed aurora]

~~Proceeds to steal ~~

[gusty trench]

Could be AKU-94. Who knows.

[gusty trench]

[finite dragon]

What in God's name

Hello

[sonic rampart]

I wonder if Pripyat will be more overgrown in stalker 2 like it is in real life or if it will be clean like SoC and CoP

[verbal hemlock]

I imagine overgrown

[leaden hamlet]

Looks like it. The building featuring in the second trailer is the CoP Pripyat school and it's MUCH more overgrown than in CoP!

[sonic rampart]

That would be cool and kinda sad

If it is overgrown we won't be able to look at the marvellous soviet architecture

[tired anvil]

I imagine half and half

I doubt the city is 100% abandoned now, some will probably be not that much overgrown

[leaden hamlet]

Well I'm sure you'll be able to look at some of it, paths that are trodden will be less overgrown than other bits.

(As Gaj says)

[sonic rampart]

Yeah and if the monolith still inhabit it maybe it will have some cleaned up areas

[tired anvil]

Or some good loot laying around because hell knows what they'll be doing, if anything in S2

[sonic rampart]

I imagine the monolith will return

it will feel kinda empty without rock people in pripyat

[tired anvil]

Well, let's not forget that they sorta hinted at an new faction on Reddit

[sonic rampart]

Mutants too

[leaden hamlet]

Here's hoping Sin (but properly this time) and Fractures!

[tired anvil]

Or something new

[leaden hamlet]

Suits me!

[sonic rampart]

I wonder what new mutants GSC could come up with

Maybe something stronger than the bloodsucker

[verbal hemlock]

Gaj is probably right

[leaden hamlet]

Well there's a lot of options. Radiation making stuff crazy like the Flesh & Blind Dogs, or perhaps more lab-grown weirdness!

Maybe something stronger than the bloodsucker
Hate to burst your bubble, but there's a helluva lot stronger than that already.

[sonic rampart]

What i meant is something like a stronger mutation i guess

[tired anvil]

Like the Bloodsucker with razor sharp teeth that we see?

[leaden hamlet]

(But seriously though, I want Fractures back and Poltergeists with bodies...Among LOTS of other stuff...)

[sonic rampart]

Counterpart for the win

[tired anvil]

Now give me 3 reasons past “They look neat, I like them 😁 ” on why you think Izloms should be added

[leaden hamlet]

Eh, I just think Mr Bloodsucker's been working out for the past 10 years.

[sonic rampart]

Ripped bloodsuckers

Seeing as the bloodsucker from the old stalker 2 pics was pretty ripped we could expect a bodybuilder bloodsucker in the new one

[leaden hamlet]

Alright...
*Cracks knuckles*
1) Excellent design concept that was never fully explored (desdoc / concept Fracture is pure nightmare fuel. Seriously).
2) A substantially more powerful engine allows for some brilliant and unique gameplay mechanics for fighting them, most that couldn't have been achieved >10 years ago: Capacity to dynamically throw terrain (or other mutants) at you, rapidly & erratically climbing over terrain to get you, using bits of debris as shields, humanoid shape could allow for some excellent ambush tactics (think crying Burers).
3) Expands upon the size and scope of experiments done to humans by the Group in the canon, giving more weight to the Group's actions and the cost of it prior to the Second Disaster. Even possibly opening up new avenues for the devs to explore in the future.
Do they fit your criteria, mate? 😄

[sonic rampart]

These points sound good

but the climbing part reminds me of the build controllers

[tired anvil]

1. Controller
2. Except they didn't really want to fight you unless they had to. Climbing part is also just build Controller, not sure how that guy would climb around with one arm
3. Bit of a poor result of a “mad experiment gone wrong” but sure

[sonic rampart]

that could do spiderman level stuff

[tired anvil]

Yeah

[sonic rampart]

The only cut mutants i could see realistically returning are the cats and maybe the zombies

the zombies being a bit far fetched since we have zombified stalkers and all that

[tired anvil]

Iirc there were Zombies in the old S2 concept art so I can sorta see the odds of them appearing more as well

Though I agree, cats would be most likely if they managed to think of something unique for them instead of a re-skinned dog

[frail spire]

Cats can be low tier snorks, you know, don't hit hard but bleeds you to death

[hushed aurora]

Smaller, faster, deadlier i guess, and them being able to ambush you from several places that dogs wouldn't be able to

[frail spire]

Maybe make them climb trees

Also they better add rat swarms

And I'm not talking about 5 or 6 rats, I'm talking about a "oh god I only have 20 bullets before I reload"

[hushed aurora]

Kek

Sorta like that one flashback from SoC

Where Strelok is shooting at a swarm of rats

[sonic rampart]

ain't that a spoiler

[hushed aurora]

Not really

[frail spire]

Not really since dreams are memes

[tired anvil]

“Oh Christ I only have a full mag to clear these before I need to reload”

[frail spire]

Exactly

Thats the feeling

[hushed aurora]

And you hear a voice yelling Strelok as he turns back, you can't see his face, so not really a spoiler

[sonic rampart]

Didn't GSC hint at slight crafting in the reddit AMA thing

[tired anvil]

Can't say it's Strelok then

They did

[sonic rampart]

interesting

[tired anvil]

Slight crafting, slight hint at a faction, slight hint at gun porn

Need to check it again for anything else

[frail spire]

I hope they don't go too deep into crafting

[sonic rampart]

Yeah

[frail spire]

Since not asingle game has done it fairly right since memecraft (and I'm not being ironic here)

[hushed aurora]

If they are gonna do crafting make it smth comfortable

[sonic rampart]

I don't like that people want EFT gunporn in stalker 2

[tired anvil]

They also confirmed “Aa nuuu chiki briki iv damke”

[hushed aurora]

Not smth more complex than actual irl crafting

[frail spire]

At least its not vova meme

[tired anvil]

Vova also got mentioned

[sonic rampart]

Oh yeah

[frail spire]

F-

[hushed aurora]

I prefer Vova than Cheeki

[tired anvil]

At LeAsT iT's NoT vOvA mEmE

[sonic rampart]

Chad Vova vs virgin cheeki breeki

[tired anvil]

A positive mention but also an obvious one was the mention of seeing old faces

Sorta fingers crossed for these two specifically though

[frail spire]

Back to topic, I hope they don't make fhe mistake of going with crafting offering you stuff that by the time you can craft it may as well just buy it

[tired anvil]

I have a strange time imagining crafting as a whole tbh

[sonic rampart]

Yeah i really want to know what happens to Ashot

atleast a mention

[tired anvil]

I hope I don't need to fetch notes to craft smth

[hushed aurora]

I don't want it to turn into FC or smth

[sonic rampart]

Wait did Far Cry even have crafting

[frail spire]

inb4 it's a less convoluted anomaly craft

FC had """""crafting"""""

[tired anvil]

They did mention having modmakers working on the game

[hushed aurora]

Yeah

[sonic rampart]

Which one

[hushed aurora]

3, 4 and i guess 5

[sonic rampart]

i've played all to 4

[frail spire]

As in "search for 20 bear scrotums to upgrade your wallet"

[hushed aurora]

Yeah just that

[sonic rampart]

Aaah now i remember

[tired anvil]

Primal also had it iirc

[sonic rampart]

Never played primal

[hushed aurora]

Must have had

Broke english kek

[tired anvil]

Not really

[sonic rampart]

Far Cry 1 AI is the best

[frail spire]

I wonder if we will have ubi towers mechanics

[tired anvil]

Unless you actually meant broke instead of broken, which in that case it fits you perfectly

[hushed aurora]

Kek

[tired anvil]

As in 50 towers across the map, kill 5 enemies guarding them and you unlock a part of the map?

[hushed aurora]

O h g o d n o

[sonic rampart]

and car chases like in far cry 2

[hushed aurora]

If we have any vehicles

[sonic rampart]

Hope we don't

[tired anvil]

Seeing that same old same old animation of a tower becoming yours instead of the enemies never gets old

[frail spire]

Yeah
"Hey Stalker, we need you to clear out this reads script bunker"

[sonic rampart]

I hope this means no vehicles

It will break immersion

[hushed aurora]

Could be

[tired anvil]

I was decently fine with faction wars, the Far Cry towers felt a lot more linear imo though

[frail spire]

It probably means that no vehicles

[tired anvil]

I mean gas prices do sorta say no vehicles

[frail spire]

Which I'm okay with

[sonic rampart]

Also if everything is overgrown

[hushed aurora]

The Far Cry towers are ehh, wouldn't say linear but idk

They are pretty meh

[tired anvil]

Oh btw Argen

Since we also got chiki briki and Vova memes

Among Us

[frail spire]

If we had vehicles it would mean devs would make maps very open with roads

[hushed aurora]

[frail spire]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A mong

Theres no us

God it's like undertale all over again

[sonic rampart]

I hope they release an aerial shot of the whole map at some point

[frail spire]

"Uhhh uhh gonna have a bad time uhhh uhhh"

[tired anvil]

I sort of do and don't tbh

I feel like if I saw absolutely everything I would see it too early

Granted some areas are underground and covered by trees but still

[frail spire]

No aerial shots since it would literally spoil progression

[hushed aurora]

[tired anvil]

Then again, if you went high enough for the entire map, you would probably only see Duga and the NPP

[leaden hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-sad-baby-disappointed-no-gif-7556577 😔

[sonic rampart]

F... That's a good point

Wait

[tired anvil]

Yea Rebel, solid idea

[sonic rampart]

i replied to the wrong thing

[tired anvil]

[hushed aurora]

Replies failed

Kek

[tired anvil]

I both love and hate that feature sometimes

[sonic rampart]

I am actually kinda surprised that nobody has ever asked about how suits will be implemented in the game

At least i haven't seen anybody ask

[tired anvil]

Has been, but definitely not a common question

I just want my spinning mouse cursor tbh

[hushed aurora]

I saw some convo of it before

[hushed aurora]

But let's be honest that must be a sure thing right, right?

[sonic rampart]

Dam i forgot about that

[tired anvil]

I mean I hope, I asked on Reddit but GSC has yet to reply. Then again, today is sorta their day off

And the thread is sorta huge already so it's probably buried

[hushed aurora]

Damn

[tired anvil]

Your thoughts on this?

[frail spire]

No

[sonic rampart]

Bs

[frail spire]

Either go full expansion or standalone, I don't want golden painted guns as dlc

[hushed aurora]

Eh idk

[tired anvil]

I see it like this:
-If they add room for DLC and expansion packs and crap, that means the main story isn't ready and we would get a half baked product

[frail spire]

That too

[tired anvil]

Weapons and armour would seem like microtransactions

[sonic rampart]

Paining guns as a whole is kinda brainlet stuff

Unless it's camo

[tired anvil]

Even then, if they would make that a feature, I imagine you would be able to apply it at a base

[sonic rampart]

Yes

[frail spire]

Instead of going "is story done?" they go "will I coomsoom"

[sonic rampart]

Putting flecktarn on a gun would be cool

Would be fun if there was a camo/paint for each faction

For guns i mean
