How much hours is one day in STALKER?
a that?dunno
01 minute = 06 seconds
10 minutes = 60 seconds
60 minutes = 06 minutes
( 1 hour )
05 hours = 30 minutes
10 hours = 1 hour
12 hours = 1 hour 12 minutes
24 hours = 2 hours 24 minutes
( 1 day )
48 hours ( 2 days ) = 4 hours 48 minutes
72 hours ( 3 days ) = 7 hours 12 minutes
240 hours ( 10 days ) = 24 hours
Supposedly that's how the in-game time goes on with real time
It's from the official facebook page
so i guess it's true
Thanks
my god theres some trans streamer just said me to shut up when I said I like vanilla stalker games lol
nothing transphobic, only that I like vanilla stalker games :zak:
*
Sad
Just spam "I can't sneed" in their chats
Vanilla Stalker is best Stalker
Mods are simply for people who want to delve deeper into the anomaly mines
Vanilla was trash aside difficulty setting and atmosphere

Those two were so good people felt it was a good investment to make mods for it
Eh
And here we are
Yeah, n o
Oh and AI
^
Somewhat
Soooo, what was bad about it if it nailed those aspects?
Oh sure, the engine is dated, but its still a good game nonetheless.
Well, aside from the annoying low damage, that can be negated with some patches or difficulty tweaks.
Vanilla SoC is goat status
All guns feels rather nice to shoot with it after a 'Double Damage' mod
Literally dies to 2 to 4 bullets
Both me and the enemy
To the chest i suppose
Because 1 shot is enough to kill anyone in vanilla, to the head
Yeah, not all of us are accurate in quick shots.
But yeah, the damage is good in master difficulty.
Depends on what you mean
If you mean the whole "the higher difficulty the more damage you deal", that's a myth
Yeah, its a myth. Hence why I downloaded double damage mod to keep gunfights short and less drawn out
Because while the guns feel good, the damage on vanilla can be annoying due to how drawn out the gunfights can get, often spending more bullets one few enemies.
Excuse me!
You took to calculate the amount yourself?!
Doesn't work with CoP. It's only 6 times faster instead of 10.
Stalker gunplay is best gunplay. If people want a watered down shooter play some Idiotic Western game like CoD
I'm more of a tourist kind of STALKER. More interested in watching, observing, and possibly administering medical assistance to idiots who get hurt by mutants.
And taking on the occasional hit job from Sidorovich
Gunplay is good tho
I gotta admit the guns in stalker just dont feel that great with their stiff animations, weak-ish sounds and somewhat low quality models
SoC is the worst offender
And that accuracy in clear sky is just
Come on
Debatable
VERY debatable lol
Personally I don’t have an issue with it, and it’s only because GSC was new to FPS considering development started in 2001.
stalker 2 weapons play is going to be more akin to your average shooter than anything else
Yep, original gunplay wasn't fallout3-tier but it wasn't something to write home about
Ah yes here come the Western extremists ready to detain us in a camp
as yes the western extremist from siberia and hundreds of hours in stalker games/mods
Yup and I'm from the Heart of Yankeeville U.S.A. and I see certain parallels from history transpiring before my own eyes.
I managed to raid the entire freedom base as monolith
In warfare
With 4 other guys
smh i've been baited
Cod has fun campaigns but multiplayer isn’t rlly fun to me. I like the stories in games more than the multiplayer combat stuff
I’m kinda late sorry
or maybe we could just enjoy Stalker and CoD instead of trashing one or the other for no reason
what
lol had it coming
Bless you
I remember it was like this, CoD for the story mode since multi sucked ass and BtF for the 64 team deathmatches since the story mode sucked ass
Vanilla is acceptable in terms of gunplay but it is outclassed now
The models on vanilla suck
hell it was honestly outclassed even back then to an extent
it does have some decent guns though
SOME
the SVD feels and sounds great
I don't know if that's true though
@sonic rampart It is
1 minute (in-game) = 6 seconds
That information is enough
Don't you think?
I Like vanilla i dont need any mods

Get out of here Stalker
I say come in dont Stay there @unborn frigate
no u 
Stay in your swamp
While duty handles the ''muties''

yeah yeah stay in your bar mr. didn't-get-to-CNPP 
Lmao
C- Cant
N- Nay nay
P- People
P- Peasant


"didn't-get-to-Cant Nay nay People Peasent"? whoa there cowboy, you're getting a bit wild with that English rule-bending



CNPP - Charlie's neat play pit
CNPP - Charlie needs pure protein
Charlie sounds like he's living the life
Nice
@edgy narwhal which lab?
Who's banging around there, eh? Let me come down and give you a good hammering!

not sure if guys already know about this but there is a freedom guy named smartass

Some people think they can outsmart us...
Maybe... Maybe...
I've yet not meet one that can outsmart bullet.
Okay so my bad weapons problem has been solved. I managed to get the fast AK and it's good. Something that can hit heads consistently is nice for me 😄
Yeah. One of the best weapon in the whole game.
@gaunt jackal AK12?
Fast-shooting AKM 74/2 still at the beginning of the game. It's still a hell of a lot better than the airsoft gun I got at the beginning of the game.
I only just now found Strelok's stash
You got to explore some radioactive areas for valuable
, drink some
and then train your aim like a real 

Yeah I am still learning to shoot. I didn't realize the game had bullet realism until my first time fighting bandits without help.
I died like 12 times at that part lol
You got this
Would you like some
?
I have 6 bottles in my inventory. Always I am tempted to take a drink. But no, I must conserve it for when the spicy air strikes.
Though if I could find a rad suit and some good artifacts I could drink my
more often
@finite dragon I didn't believe you when you said that TRs is objectively better than any AKM gun mostly because it sucks in CoP and I spent most of my time playing it. But when I decided to replay the CS again...
It has much better accuracy and has a nice first-rate. Also, you can see 5.56x45 literally everywhere...
(you said NATO guns in general but that would be a lie, we have soviet and russian sniper rifles that can't be compared to NATO's)
fire rate is the king in almost every FPS game
and extremely good when combine with good hipfire accuracy. that is why TRs301 is my favorite gun
with good hip fire accuracy and high fire rate, you can use it to kill strong mutants
cough cough gauss rifle cough cough
lol ammo rarity is your problem
556 big gay
Unless merc
I mean,I mostly choose a sniper and pick them idiots off,but a good sidearm is needed
Actually
I think i might start using 5.56 sometimes
But I'm pretty sure we all know
Intermidiate rounds are better
5.56 is better because human enemies are too weak, even exosuit guys
high ammo capacity could make life much easier in the zone
an-94 is very good, when using the 2 shots mode
RPK
there are 50 rounds mag for LR300 in AREA mod
7.62х39 would be a good idea for stalker but they decided to choose 5.45.
Yea
RPK has slow handling
dude, the ak 74 is chambered in 5,45
i think is this word
dude, the guns are called AKM and use AKM magazines.
7.62 is better
ok, i forgot that
Depends. 7.62x39 still can be used but it's outdated.
7.62x39 may be good for both human and mutant but it's not as common as 5.56
and the accuracy on 7.62x39 weapons are not good enough for long shot
i tried to snipe with AEK973 in anomaly mod
what ammo the aek use in anomaly?
bullet drop is much worse than both 5.45 and 5.56
there are 2 AEKs in anomaly
971 and 973
IRL the 971 use 5,45 the 972 use 5,56 (NATO) and the 973 use 7,62 lol
What did I just read.
Me saying how I am trash at aiming.
aek is amazing
This is realistic
Those are both high velocity compared to 7.62x39
YEA but its ugly
its beautiful
to each their own i guess
do you guys have any tips what I should do when I play warfare mode in anomaly
use an addon 
eliminate the freedom base
Based and redpilled
also how do I enable the hand cursor
you say as you proceed to masturbate to japanese animated porn
Sushi is pretty good
o.O
O.o
Bit overrated imo
Never tried it, i prefer cooked fish
Raw fish is... strange (don’t eat sushi)
Sushi is ok, I would say it's more of an aquired taste
Sushi has cooked meat too
does anyone here run a ham radio because that transmission in the new cypher sounds like sstv
very uncanny
Any attempt to penetrate the secured Zone will be punished by any means necessary! Patrols have the right to shoot on sight.
my goodness
I am loving Anomaly
or maybe it's just too early yet?
started playing yesterday, and I couldn't get myself out of Cordon..lol
get out of my swamp!!!
Shush you damn squatter!
@magic fable have you played the originals
does it matter if he loves it
Finished SoC and CoP on Vanilla ofcourse!
I don't play new stuff till I finished the old ones
skipping CS
thats cool the faction stuff is the best part
and getting out of the swamp
the rest is meh
I was in the middle of college and being ripped side-ways
it happens
That's what I heard from recent reviews
that they were trying new stuff in CS
but perfected it all in CoP
they did try a lot of new mechanics
which is kinda true
now that I played CoP again
then tried CoP with Gunslinger
and now.. this... Anomaly stuff caught my attention
I was gonna try Misery
but they said it's like college.. (likes to "F" you sideways)
yea Misery is like that, I think there was a point where the updates only made the game worse
misery 2.0 was the peak for me
I kept reading reviews like that
downhill afterwards
They say Misery is for Masochists who like to abuse F9
HAHAHAHHAHAA
U have thoughts for Anomaly? (if you've tried it)
it would be nice of there was a point to all of it, which is why im playing stalkersoup instead of anomaly
I played a lot of call of chernobyl which is what anomaly came from
Hmmm.. Stalkersoup
sort of
I like it, but the next time I'm itching for faction gameplay I will probably do ClearSky faction war mod
Ok, so now I have stuff to add to my lists of things to try out..
I have to say the game itself plays better than ever in anomaly but I dont like having to make my own fun all the time
but not soon enough as I like how they did with this Anomaly mod and stuff... I'll see if it Fs me hard enough to make me wanna quit hahah
what faction did you choose?
atta boy
In real life, I don't really want to involve myself with factions
I'm a Man of Balance
(or atleast I try to)
I was a young teenager when SoC came out so I liked duty for the black and red
It has the most content imo
Black and Red!
The which one? Anomaly?
but adulthood is realizing that freedom is the right choice
stalkersoup has way more content than anomaly
Yes but that’s stalkersoup
Oooh.. stalkersoup
2 points now
ok2
I'll look for it so I can give it reservation of my not so precious time
Stalkersoup is extremely glitchy
I'm about to start streaming part 2.. escorting kruglov and then lab x-16
Do not recommend
playable isn’t good enough
Ok... so maybe not yet
lmao tell that to anyone who played vanilla when the game came out
I have never encountered a bug in SoC personally
highly dont recommend stalkersoup
It's a goddamn mess imo
dont you need a guide for ANYTHING in that mod
ok.. so +2 earlier, then -2 now 😦
not really, only if you get stuck
anomaly is a great sandbox
Will this be the same stuck like when I was facing 2 Burers in the Eastern Tunnel in Gunslinger?
There’s technically a story but it’s fan fiction worthy
I only made it halfway through NS and vanilla, I cant speak about anything afterwards but you just gotta follow the mod's rules and you'll be fine
Worse
not even that but worse tbh
Oh s***
vanilla meaning their modified version of vnilla
ok.. so for now, I'll try to enjoy being a random loner in the Zone and carve me own story
I might just turn my gameplay to a comic..
I could only recommend soup if you have played every other mod and you still want more
"A Loner's Life in the Zone"
that's basically where im at
That's hardcore
You're hardcore
xd
I was a fan before the game even came out
good hunting fred im gonna go escort the doctor
and then suffer through some hell
🙂
So will I... so will I
tfw you had to go alone to destroy the bloodsucker lair on red forest and no one is helping you
Lab x16 kinda hell
glad i made it out
of course on master difficulty
lab x18 is ok
just there is a ghost throwing thing at you
Poltergeist
lab x8 is pretty decent
After i kill poltergeist, i go out and there is a military and i can't do anything I'm stuck until i know that you have single mode
the weapon is now accurate in single
there is a rpg but nah
what the heck even is stalker soup
it looks epic
but what is the hecking point of it
From what i know it's basically Narodnaya Solyanka but worse
Just a bunch of random mods into one pack i guess
That's the thing with soup mods
is it good or fun?
Stalkersoup?, no idea never played it, but 80% of what i've heard says it's trash especially when you could just go play normal NS which is better
Just keep in mind that "better" doesnt nean good
Personally i see solyanka as a monumental waste of effort by the modders that made it
Su much talent down the drain for a mod like that
Fanfiction-tier story, obscene quests and difficulty, mindless repetitive cycling quests that require you to hoard garbage without which you can barely make progress, rediculously hidden stashes and so much more
Ooooooh boi sounds fun
Just a frickin amalgam of bs
I'm gonna install it on my laptop tmr
It's nice to laugh and point fingers at it but i would never ever even attempt beating it
Sure give it a shot
Just have a 100 hpur long video guide by your side ( not joking )
Its barely possible to make any progress without suffering a lot if you dont follow exactly what guides tell you
Like, how and why was it designed this way
Who finds fun in that
Stalker
it's actually funny. If you use quickload too much the game WILL crash with a chance of save corruption. Not even that goes unpunished
so can i know why tf monolith worship a rock?
why do people worship cows, crosses or buddhas? because they're the symbol of their religion, beliefs beyond just a "rock"
ok and can i know how to download mods for stalker soc
Play the games and you'll find out
@magic fable unfortunately censoring won't pass either
Sad :(
Kek
But yeah I hate the burers.. They could atleast give it a small window so I can shoot em in the face, but they got unli stamina
In gunslinger*
In lore they hate light, but they never turn away when i flash my gun's flashlight and my headlamp in their face
they don't in canon lore, that's just design documents stuff.
Hello gamers
strelok
Shreklok

it is also a scientific fact that the vast majority of monolith fans are anime fans
Absolutely agree.
LOL
want proof? look at the profile pics of the majority of monolith members in here
I believe it
Well, you also see it above other roles, so it's easier to spot
and the military are racist?

so i just disabled the machine in lab x10 and i got a flashback and i had to go to wish granter
shouldn't you go on a portal
that teleport you to some place
i don't remember
I guess we could say that will be cough cough in the endgame
Lmao just noticed those anime pics myself
ive wanted to get into s.t.a.l.k.e.r. for quite a bit now but i dont know what to start with, should i play from the first game to the next and so on because some reviews say the first game is bad, also should i know some things before playing cause it seems like theres a lot behind it
I wouldn't say it's bad
Just play in release order
alright
or CS first, because it's first chronologically
Feeling SoC might feel a bit like a downgrade after imo (asides story) so I'd still start w SoC
for me clear sky is a downgrade from SOC in all aspects except for graphics and the weapon mod system
Certainly not in the features aspect
like what
Guns, armour, artifacts
how exactly did armor change aside from upgrades?
That's what I had in mind, the upgrade feature
you cannot repair it
unless you get enough artifacts and stand in an anomaly enough, but that seems like a bug to me ngl
In SoC
oh you're talking about CS
We're talking about both
You can upgrade and repair in CS, you can't in SoC
No guides either
guns themselves are a downgrade from soc imo
like, that accuracy is just too painful
upgrades are a nice addition though, and artifact hunting
Personally I enjoy the different effects of artifacts as well
cant really name anything else positive of clear sky compared to soc
New models are too good
Lore 
CS armor f.e.
Depending on the person, one could say faction wars
i'll lob that into the "graphics upgrade"
God I hate SoC.
god i love soc
heresy 
but i do love cop more tho
I need to replay SoC before commenting again
Though last time I preferred CS and CoP over it
the bar exists in soc
that's all it needs to stand above the rest
what a genius "hub point"
placed neatly in the middle serving as a ground the refresh resources and turn in quests
Or genocidal slaughterhouse for some
for my 8 year old self for sure
Personally I don't shoot them
SoC has its charms
(but I need to replay it again so I can remember its charms)
(though come to think of it.. I do feel like playing it again since I'm doing Anomaly.. and am in Cordon)
for cs it's faction wars
it feels weird when you are almost near the end of the game
is it just me
100 rads
cutscenes 
^
Again
Walking into the Bar is just the best experience after the suffering that is Cordon and Garbage
why are there no other people who come in and out of the bar doing their own badass stuff
ok i want to know
what happens to sido
we haven't seen him after bringing the military documents
he actually disappeared?
!!!!!!!
or maybe he just going to store to buy milk
i know one time skadovsk was freedom and beard was replaced by a freedomer, but i did not expect it to overwrite sido
it was really cursed
Wut
ok so I'm near the end of the game and before i go to pripyat, i noticed that i need to meet guide
those artifacts doe👀
Damn
Those actually look sick
the artifacts if they're from in-game looks really really nice
are those from in game?
Doubt it
the hell is a chem protection

Would've been super cool if the ping was actually something cool
fr
Chemical protection i guess
those artefacts look really cool
Yeah I agree, they're fantastically well done! 😀 
oh yeah probably
that would make sense
Stops your face dropping off in the spicy green air chemical anomalies, "Fruit Punch" etc. 
What if the game has these in some Collector Edition
Well if i guess correctly one of them it's a Meat Chunk so yeah, iirc those give chemical protection
I love the fact of that particular anomaly is called "Fruit Punch"
Rebel I'm under-caffeinated, please don't hype me up this much.

Remember it's a what if don't get too excited
looking good, but it's just kinda strange.
There's nothing to be excited for
Yeah it's great. I like to think it's like stars and the person who first discovers it gets to name it. 😆
That or long nights and way too much vodka. 😁
So was it a mistake to kill all the soldiers guarding the railway bridge?
This could be also be a tease of how the artifact system is gonna be (but this is just a wild guess)
I'MMA DO IT ANYWAYS!!! 🤩 🤩 🤩
Like what kind of stats they improve, so if they bring back + Endurance artifacts it's gonna be lit
Strangle how? 🤔
They are artifacts
pardon viper, strangle?
they look really nice

@wicked current I meant "Strange" but nah, that auto-correct is too beautiful to delete. 😅

||Eventually, but can you wait till I've finished my coffee first?
||
well i mean the announcement is just a bit strange. is it a teaser? artwork?
yea.
Stop looking too deep into it
It looks like fanmade stuff
not trying to.
Ah I see. As I said, lack of coffee. 😅
Obviously a teaser, didn't they also mention in the Q&A that they wanted the online shop to come back?
Looks like it, yeah. Still really cool, I hope they post more fan stuff! 😀
i wish
Who said lack of coffee? I am here!
I really want to believe they are teasing how the artifact stat improvement is gonna be, but could be just showing because it looks kewl
You're setting yourself up for disappointment
i am going to drink your contents 
Welp yeah it is cool i just want something actually about the game next time 
Thanks for the offer mate, but 1) I'm not really okay with drinking talking coffee and 2) I've already got a nice hot cup of-
*Reads label*
"Skull-Crusher Brand, Strong [expletive] Coffee!" 👍
I know, this probably means nothing but one can always imagine
"OhMy.mp4" 
Well it's better than nothing, I guess
Not with that controller there. Not wanting to get my brain blended today.
Oh it's worse than a standard Controller...It's a Build-Troller!!! 😁
||At least it isn't hot pink...
||
Haha!
Nothing is better than getting a ping about something not related to showing us the game in an announcement channel
Lucky me the channel's ping doesn't work for reason 
I played too much Metro before I started playing Stalker because my first encounter with a controller was me screaming. "Is that a Dark One?!"

Well, yeah I agree they should create another channel for that stuff.
Better than mine of "WHERE IS IT'S PANTS?!?!?!" 🤣
XD
At least that was my Build-Troller first encounter, think my first SoC Controller encounter was just a lot of confused whimpering. 😆
wheres the damn stalker 2 sauron eye thingie
When I killed my first controller my reaction to was "Great you made me waste two mags full of ammo you jerk!"
First Controller in SoC is way scarier than the First Bloodsucker imo
You just gun down the blooduscker but the controller gets you confused and scared af
Not gonna lie, that's make a pretty sweet kind of anomaly! 😀
@hushed aurora Young Viper be like "but why not be scared of both" 😆
with an anomolous radius effect
The first Bloodsucker actually made it harder for me. I killed it fairly easily but the military in the tunnels must have heard me fighting and they all came pouring into that room.
OOOOOOO yeah!!! Kinda like a Pulsar, with pulses of extreme radiation that follows the 'sight' of the 'eye' as it rotates around. Dang that's a really brilliant idea, nice one mate!!! 😀
Fact-checking edit: Sorry it's a "Pulsar" that I'm referring to not a Neutron Star. I haven't studied Physics in almost a decade, sorry! 😅
oooh that does sound cool!
thanks, you. seem like a very positive person, haha im a canadian, and I love this place already :P
Yay! Glad you like it. They're an odd bunch but pretty good overall! 👍
And thanks! I try my best. 😊
Cool, yes you're very friendly ^^
so will we be able to share in sidorovich's horilka stash
are these artifacts a gift from fans or smthn
Looks like it, there's a link to a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RP group at the bottom.
help my game crash just now
now i try to open my game and still crash
so firstly, i downloaded autumn aurora and after set up the file i try it and the mod crash whenever try to load another level
@finite dragon Are you trying to play an existing save with it? I think you need to start a new game I'm afraid, although I'm not sure.
Anomaly 1.5.1 update has made the human enemies a little more dangerous
Mercs have become terminators
i didn't finish explaining yet my phone died.
i try to delete it and play vanilla instead but then it crash
First try was ok, second time crash
is Chaser shotgun or an ar recommended for lab x-16 in SoC?
i always die to snorks or zombies
months for a piece of fanart....
Is it fanart or a demonstration of graphics? because if it's the latter then it's pretty exciting
nevermind that's pretty disappointing
shotgun for snorks
AR to take down zombies from range
thx
ok please help me?
If i were you i'd ask at #🔨-technical
I love SoC :c
Clear sky is nice so far
I have a feeling CoP will be great tho
Clear sky is the least enjoyable one, imo. SoC is best, and CoP is good
CoP was too short
True : (
SEVA suit or SSP-99M?(SoC btw)
You get used to it
I’m not surprised
You shouldn’t get your hopes up for any announcement
SEVA
👍
Remember, bullet protection is one of the most important things in SoC
Just don't get hit
I have not felt this bad for the whole week! Beware, everyone!
Im going to warn you
Why?
you don't get it 
I’m not too smart
its not about being smart
in CS I died about 20 times trying to capture burnt farmstead
nice guns
because my shots somehow didn't hit the renegades
very nice impression on cs gunplay
I have no issue killing them
I used the PMm and the Hunting Rifle, and Viper 5 for like 6 seconds
yes I used the hunting rifle but it was very wonky
Upgrade it for accuracy and use slugs and dart
Not worth using buckshot with the hunting rifle imo
Aim for the head and only the head
^Yeah this too
You may as well be throwing marshmallows at them if you shoot the body
It's a 2000's era game, what can you do
Shooting at the body only works in 5/10 situations and with shotguns, and the ammo is heavy so it's better to aim at the head with a rifle anyway
That’s why it’s good
nah
Buckshot should work fantastic against guys who just have a jacket on, but again, 2000's era game
don't worry I killed strelok
Huh?
CS combat has always been great for me, I love it
Same
SRP’s alternative ballistics attachment also makes it way better, probably more what these guys would like
Only part i don't like of it is when your ak doesn't hit someone at 2 meters away, but it's not really common to happen
never really had that issue, I don’t think
I have an screenshot that i think that can describe it
Again, it happens rarely uncommonly
Vanilla combat has always been an issue for me 
I don't like the whole stunlock dance til he falls over
And the fact that the AI never had to worry about bleeding out
That wasn't very cash money either
so... the duty guys want to shoot everyone right?
Bruh,
Go play the games 
i did. but im just too lazy to read all the stuff
But you aren't lazy to read our description 
"It's useless. First of all, they fight to the death. Our boys managed to get one alive when he was stunned by a grenade, but it didn't help much. We took our eyes off him for a second and he banged his head against the wall so hard that his skull cracked open like an egg."
Freedom smokes weed
Damn man, damn.
That's all to them
ok. cppl
Welp Duty wants to destroy the Zone and Freedom wants to make it free for everyone, so they are in a war for this, imho Duty is better than Freedom because Duty doesn't know and can't destroy the Zone but i don't like Freedom too much either
cool*
anuu
cheek- crashes
man i hate xray engine
it crashes every time
only 20% of the time i managed to exit the game manually
the other 80% is when it crashes
You must be cursed lmao
i am
I got crashes too but not so often kek
bc im playing in coc
i always have to start a new game .
because it deletes my saves when it crashes
idk why
so bruh
k
i installed the patch
I'd recommend you to play the vanilla games instead of CoC
but why
CoC is just freeplay with no story
You ain't getting anything about the story because there's none
It isn't sandbox
The original games have actual storylines to play
and freeplay/freeroam/openworld/sandbox games
yes there is
there is the debug feature
What
which you can spawn in thousands of bandits
in my opinion
I prefer Story or Soup mods tbh
i mean with the debug menu
But go play the vanilla games
anomaly is just a straight upgrade from COC
To atleast get something
i already played thru call of pripyat
only that because im poor
The worst part
It's not if you don't like misery-lite mods.
Yea you need to experience at least Soc and Cop to enjoy mods tbh
Should have started with SoC
Anomaly is a step to the side in terms of gameplay
r u sure?
But a huge leap forward in terms of what they did to xRay
The recommended order to play the games are SoC>CS>CoP
I mean you need to know the lore
that's the best part of stalker
the atmosphere
i mean i know that soc is hard.
Well you don't, but don't expect the other mods to tell you about them
Not really
it is on master and novice
In novice it's easy af lmao
Master is still not really challenging
only if it doesnt crashes every 10 secounds
CS is the hardest from the whole series, but it isn't that hard in general
I start with veteran because I suck
I don't think you need to play CS to understand the storyline
k
You need CS to understand the lore
^
k
CS has the most lore
everything is pretty much explained in CoP
Not really
CoP doesn't explain squat
I have changed my opinion
In CoP i think they sorta assume you already played the other games for the most part
anyone know stalker 2's actual release date? i mean i know that it will be 2021 but which month
They don't tell you that much
In CoP they don't really develop anything
2021 was not the release year
The year isn't confirmed as far as i know
Only that military did a mistake
wdym
it was a code
brb
And that there's a big metro underneath the zone
what?
SoC technically, cause of the PDA entries
idk much about it because i'm not fluent in Russian but some weird code
А ну, чики брики и в дамки!
А ну, чик- crashes
bro you don't know pain until youve played some shady mod for ShoC like priboi story
I remember when i spent like 2 hours trying to find a stash in a mod xd
ok
ok
i have installed the patch
its loading
i have set a 30 min timer
and if it crashes while the timer didnt end, then i will be mad
Installing stalker mods from 2012 be like ėöřöáú ņčôĕ æêø!!
what
what does ėöřöáú ņčôĕ æêø mean?
moon runes
wut?
It's when the installer is usually in cyrillic but your computer doesn't have the language installed
So you get gibberish like that to replace it
I deciphered that for 2 hours while trying to install demosfen
ah so like opening an ini file in notepad
Why did you even play the game without the patch lmao
Because crashes are fun?
idk
no
ah yes the name checks out
Finally someone got the joke
Any estimated release date ?
n o
Nothing confirmed
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!
The zone is too dangerous to be kept accessible, it must be cleansed. Mutants will be released into the wider world if we do not destroy it.
2021
Not confirmed
He said estimated
Unless you want rocks thrown at you don't ask
😪😪😪
1000 years is a good time
It's gonna release in 202_
No worries, I will be here till end of time
Worst case scenario we still have 8 years left 
Eh ill still be alive i hope
better than cyberpunk
Don’t want to rush it
we need a good game not another Cyberbug 76
🤣
Pretty fine. And you?
Im Fine and i cant wait STALKER 2
I can wait
I can wait since I'm not having much hope
Been almost 3 years since the announcement at this point. Feels like there isn't much of a wait left so idm either
I find it sort of fair tbh
When we don't know that much, we aren't really prohibited from guessing anything
Well, look at the state of GSC in 2003~ for instance
With publishing and other stuff
now that they’re self publishing, it’s almost guaranteed that there won’t be issues in that regard, which were a large portion of SoC’s trouble
Well in ways, yes, but it's not like THQ was the only thing cutting content
It shifted phases a few times, which is why Sharpe got sent down to Ukraine to cut more stuff
We don't really know what was considered or cut for the current game 
In one side they actually keep trying to not do another SoC
On the other side the game industry is a dumpster fire all over the world where barely any good games are made anymore

Am I wrong? Most AAA is trash
Nah not really, couldn't describe it better in such a short way
I would love to say it's good, but it isn't and there isn't a nice way of saying it
Games nowadays 😦
Howdy ho
I just got off a mission killing 2 cats (that sound like jaguars or something) near the railroad in Cordon...
in Anomaly
and I just realized.. If ever there was a real life Zone, I will most definitely not last a day once I step out of the Rookie Village.
Thats the point
thats the fun
If anyone looks at the Zone and thinks they'd be fine out there, they're either lying or have a poor understanding of the situation.
or they're an ecologist 24/7 in a bunker
i think that we will likely see delays into 2022, stalker 2 appears to be very large in size
I hope they don't rush it
There are plenty of mods to keep any diehard fans occupied for at least a while
There's always gonna be another buggy russian soup mod
but stalker 2 must be of the highest quality
I doubt Stalker 2 will be anywhere near as buggy as cyberpunk
It WILL have bugs at launch but nothing too severe
But if I dont see at least one dude eating bread through a gas mask as an easter egg or something im rioting
at this point i kinda doubt it will even release
@ GSC Game World cough
We've already seen the beginning with trailers, screenshots and soundtracks
all thats pretty much next is gameplay reveal
i doubt they'd go this far just to cancel it
i've seen vampire the masquerade 2 trailers
seen dead island 2 trailers too
years ago in fact
Well we still have a little over 9 whole months to see if it'll actually be 2021
not always the best to assume a game will just get straight up canceled outta nowhere
it doesnt have to be cancelled officialy to die tbh
Bugs means a good stalker game
So you're thinking of a Half Life 3 scenario
im just super pessimistic at this point because it's been years since the "2021" image thing
and not a single thing has shown up aside from the engine game is going to run on
they'll release gameplay when they're ready
That’s something that is reassuring
what do you want
im talking gameplay related
for several years not a single gameplay related thing has been stated
Not have if set release date means that they don’t have to rush the game out buggy and a mess
did they do it all in 2011
not it 2011 but they sure did something in several years
they didint even start talking about major stuff until 2013
I dont see why you're so negative about it
just have faith
ima say this for like the 3rd time
they said 2021
NINE months left of 2021
311 days
Only nine months
they also said the release date wasnt specifically confirmed didnt they
late 2021/early 2022 range
most likely case scenario
let the devs use the time they have
that's not what bothers me
they can make it however long they want
but it sure would be nice to hear at least a scrap of any gameplay-related information
im not talking showcase
pressure and overpromising was what made cyberpunk 2077 flop
just literally stating a feature that will be in is all i ask for
do you REALLY want THAT much communication from gsc?
saying 1 gameplay-related thing in a year is asking too much?
i've had patience for a decade though
like urgh
it's really not that hard to say anything about the actual game is it
The game was cancelled once way before back in the past
And now they are making the game again
Ide prefer for GSC to remain quiet
cool but can we actually know something about it
There is no reason not to be patient
As to not overhype expectations and then be sorry for cutting loses
im not asking them to put the game out asap
im asking for a tiny level of actual communication
You think they won't?
Stalker has such a large community for such an old franchise
i truly believe its in their best interest to craft a beautiful game that is as close to feeling as the old games as possible while innovating and adding new things
is saying something factually true about gameplay "overhyping"?
as though they arent starved right now
That is a fact
and the more months between the info and release date
the more hungry and rowdy people get
not true btw
Not true? Objection!
The example is Cyberpunk
i remember tf2 having great examples of the devs communicating updates before releasing them
they wanted to KNOW what it has
we had patch notes that the community gave feedback about
devs caved in
Team fortress 2 is an online game
that doesnt matter
it gets actual content
vriska you're talking about post launch content
TF2 barely gets content nowadays anyway
oh for the love of
content is content
people give feedback on what they hear/see and the game improvess with it
its a horrible example of dev communication rn
im talking about the old tf2
What is Stalker 2 suggestions for??
type something in there
right now
we also got slapped with "game is too far indev to add any substantial features"
I sent my suggestion in January of 2020
and do we know what they think about it?
that channel has been open for like 2 years
do we know if they will do anything about it?
nah it's like throwing letters down a pit
and even if they dont add anything specific from it devs can look at it and see what people want
they dont need to act upon it
just reading it can make a difference in ideas
what im saying is
if they got a feature from there and liked it and accepted it
is it that difficult to actually state that
YES
explain
A possibility
And then get a passionate fans hopes crushed?
🤔
what are they suppose to say?
"they scrapped the crow hunting idea my hopes and dreams are crushed"
I really feel like devs should NEVER promise anything unless its absolutely confirmed like a month or two before release
Hunting cows=fun
