How much hours is one day in STALKER?

hazy helm
#

the most?

#

12 hours

runic rapids
#

No im talking about STALKER hours

#

How much is the duration of a day in STALKER?

hazy helm
#

a that?dunno

sonic rampart
#

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

Vanilla Stalker is best Stalker

#

Mods are simply for people who want to delve deeper into the anomaly mines

frail spire

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

Oh sure, the engine is dated, but its still a good game nonetheless.

hushed aurora
#

Dude's gonna come with "trash gunplay" prolly

#

Delayed message

lapis yew
#

Well, aside from the annoying low damage, that can be negated with some patches or difficulty tweaks.

hushed aurora
#

I never had an issue with it

#

Most enemies die of one headshot

still ridge
#

Vanilla SoC is goat status

lapis yew
#

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

hushed aurora
#

To the chest i suppose

#

Because 1 shot is enough to kill anyone in vanilla, to the head

lapis yew
#

Yeah, not all of us are accurate in quick shots.

#

But yeah, the damage is good in master difficulty.

hushed aurora
#

Depends on what you mean

#

If you mean the whole "the higher difficulty the more damage you deal", that's a myth

lapis yew
#

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.

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

shadow drift
#

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

shadow drift
#

VERY debatable lol

still ridge
#

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

frail spire
#

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

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 😄

gusty trench
#

Yeah. One of the best weapon in the whole game.

past shuttle
#

@gaunt jackal AK12?

gaunt jackal
#

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

shadow urchin
#

You got to explore some radioactive areas for valuable artifact_compass , drink some food_vodka and then train your aim like a real ahh_nuu

gaunt jackal
#

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

#

military can't drink they do so anyway

gaunt jackal
#

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 food_vodka more often

gusty trench
#

@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)

finite dragon
#

you mean in game or i rl

#

oh wait im retarded

#

bruh

toxic vector
#

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

hazy helm
toxic vector
#

lol ammo rarity is your problem

hazy helm
finite dragon
#

Actually

#

I think i might start using 5.56 sometimes

#

But I'm pretty sure we all know

Intermidiate rounds are better

toxic vector
#

5.56 is better because human enemies are too weak, even exosuit guys

finite dragon
#

7.62 x 39 is better
7.62 x 51 is better

#

G3 and ak103

#

:)

toxic vector
#

high ammo capacity could make life much easier in the zone

lean igloo
#

an-94 is very good, when using the 2 shots mode

toxic vector
#

there are 50 rounds mag for LR300 in AREA mod

gusty trench
#

7.62х39 would be a good idea for stalker but they decided to choose 5.45.

finite dragon
toxic vector
#

RPK has slow handling

lean igloo
#

i think is this word

gusty trench
lean igloo
#

ok, i forgot that

gusty trench
toxic vector
#

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

lean igloo
#

what ammo the aek use in anomaly?

toxic vector
#

bullet drop is much worse than both 5.45 and 5.56

#

there are 2 AEKs in anomaly

#

971 and 973

lean igloo
#

IRL the 971 use 5,45 the 972 use 5,56 (NATO) and the 973 use 7,62 lol

gaunt jackal
#

Me saying how I am trash at aiming.

but is just game

#

@magic fable have you played the originals

shadow drift
#

does it matter if he loves it

magic fable
#

I don't play new stuff till I finished the old ones

visual compass
#

skipping CS

magic fable
#

I actually turned blind in SoC

#

I tried CS, but didn't finish it though

visual compass
#

thats cool the faction stuff is the best part

#

and getting out of the swamp

#

the rest is meh

magic fable
#

I was in the middle of college and being ripped side-ways

visual compass
#

it happens

magic fable
#

that they were trying new stuff in CS

#

but perfected it all in CoP

visual compass
#

they did try a lot of new mechanics

magic fable
#

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)

visual compass
#

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

magic fable
#

I kept reading reviews like that

visual compass
#

downhill afterwards

magic fable
#

They say Misery is for Masochists who like to abuse F9

#

HAHAHAHHAHAA

#

U have thoughts for Anomaly? (if you've tried it)

visual compass
#

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

magic fable
#

Hmmm.. Stalkersoup

visual compass
#

sort of

#

I like it, but the next time I'm itching for faction gameplay I will probably do ClearSky faction war mod

magic fable
visual compass
#

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

magic fable
#

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

visual compass
#

what faction did you choose?

magic fable
#

well.. the usual.

#

Loners

visual compass
#

atta boy

magic fable
#

In real life, I don't really want to involve myself with factions

#

I'm a Man of Balance

#

I was a young teenager when SoC came out so I liked duty for the black and red

still ridge
magic fable
#

Black and Red!

magic fable

#

but adulthood is realizing that freedom is the right choice

#

stalkersoup has way more content than anomaly

still ridge
#

Yes but that’s stalkersoup

magic fable
#

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

visual compass
#

I'm about to start streaming part 2.. escorting kruglov and then lab x-16

still ridge
#

Do not recommend

visual compass
#

they actually made it playable

#

i tried it 5 years ago and quit

still ridge
#

playable isn’t good enough

magic fable
visual compass
#

lmao tell that to anyone who played vanilla when the game came out

still ridge
#

I have never encountered a bug in SoC personally

shadow drift
#

highly dont recommend stalkersoup
It's a goddamn mess imo

still ridge
#

Exactly

#

It’s not coherent at all

#

it just adds random stuff from other games

shadow drift
#

dont you need a guide for ANYTHING in that mod

magic fable
visual compass
#

not really, only if you get stuck

shadow drift
#

and you get stuck quite a bit right

#

since it's often very unclear

still ridge
#

anomaly is a great sandbox

magic fable
still ridge
#

There’s technically a story but it’s fan fiction worthy

visual compass
#

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

shadow drift
#

not even that but worse tbh

magic fable
visual compass
#

vanilla meaning their modified version of vnilla

magic fable
#

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..

visual compass
#

I could only recommend soup if you have played every other mod and you still want more

magic fable
#

"A Loner's Life in the Zone"

that's basically where im at

#

You're hardcore

I like STALKER, but you are on a new level

and then suffer through some hell

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

shadow urchin
#

lab x8 is pretty decent

Idk, i think CoP's labs were lacking smth, but still decent

finite dragon
#

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

hushed aurora
#

From what i know it's basically Narodnaya Solyanka but worse

hushed aurora
#

That's the thing with soup mods

finite dragon
#

is it good or fun?

hushed aurora
# finite dragon 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

shadow drift
#

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

finite dragon
#

Really?

#

It seems funny actually

shadow drift
#

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

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

finite dragon
#

No I'm gonna try

#

Or maybe stalker soup

shadow drift
#

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

so can i know why tf monolith worship a rock?

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

untold loom

I wouldn't say it's bad

hidden lake
#

alright

untold loom
#

or CS first, because it's first chronologically

tired anvil
#

Feeling SoC might feel a bit like a downgrade after imo (asides story) so I'd still start w SoC

shadow drift
#

for me clear sky is a downgrade from SOC in all aspects except for graphics and the weapon mod system

tired anvil
#

Certainly not in the features aspect

shadow drift
#

like what

tired anvil
#

Guns, armour, artifacts

shadow drift
#

how exactly did armor change aside from upgrades?

tired anvil
#

That's what I had in mind, the upgrade feature

untold loom
#

you cannot repair it

shadow drift
#

?

#

in clear sky?

untold loom
#

unless you get enough artifacts and stand in an anomaly enough, but that seems like a bug to me ngl

tired anvil
#

In SoC

untold loom
#

oh you're talking about CS

tired anvil
#

We're talking about both

#

You can upgrade and repair in CS, you can't in SoC

#

No guides either

shadow drift
#

guns themselves are a downgrade from soc imo
like, that accuracy is just too painful
upgrades are a nice addition though, and artifact hunting

tired anvil
#

Personally I enjoy the different effects of artifacts as well

shadow drift
#

cant really name anything else positive of clear sky compared to soc

gusty trench
tired anvil
#

Lore Sure_I_am

CS armor f.e.

They're showing off something other people made

wicked current
#

yea.

pseudo yoke
#

Stop looking too deep into it

hushed aurora
#

It looks like fanmade stuff

wicked current
#

not trying to.

leaden hamlet
#

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?

leaden hamlet
pseudo yoke
#

No it's not obviously a teaser

#

They literally tell you who made it

gaunt jackal
#

Who said lack of coffee? I am here!

hushed aurora
#

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

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?!"

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

gaunt jackal
#

When I killed my first controller my reaction to was "Great you made me waste two mags full of ammo you jerk!"

hushed aurora
#

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

leaden hamlet
rocky quiver

Yeah

#

Like a huge flaming eye

leaden hamlet

@hushed aurora Young Viper be like "but why not be scared of both" 😆

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.

# rocky quiver with an anomolous radius effect

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!

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

leaden hamlet

@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.

I really did not get anything from that announcement

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?

Clear sky is nice so far

#

I have a feeling CoP will be great tho

vast fox

Clear sky is the least enjoyable one, imo. SoC is best, and CoP is good

CoP was too short

vast fox
#

True : (

SEVA suit or SSP-99M?(SoC btw)

#

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

Im going to warn you

you don't get it smile_scar

#

I’m not too smartfeels_concerned

finite dragon
#

in CS I died about 20 times trying to capture burnt farmstead

#

nice guns

hushed aurora
#

wtf

#

How did you die so much at the farmstead kuznetsov

finite dragon
#

because my shots somehow didn't hit the renegades

#

very nice impression on cs gunplay

hushed aurora
#

I have no issue killing them

#

I used the PMm and the Hunting Rifle, and Viper 5 for like 6 seconds

finite dragon
#

yes I used the hunting rifle but it was very wonky

hushed aurora
#

Upgrade it for accuracy and use slugs and dart

#

Not worth using buckshot with the hunting rifle imo

rotund fox
#

Aim for the head and only the head

hushed aurora
#

^Yeah this too

rotund fox
#

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

finite dragon
#

Yea

#

Made by poor guys in Ukraine

hushed aurora
#

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

finite dragon
wicked current
#

nah

rotund fox
#

Buckshot should work fantastic against guys who just have a jacket on, but again, 2000's era game

finite dragon
#

don't worry I killed strelok

hushed aurora
#

Huh?

verbal hemlock
#

CS combat has always been great for me, I love it

hushed aurora
#

Same

verbal hemlock
#

SRP’s alternative ballistics attachment also makes it way better, probably more what these guys would like

hushed aurora
#

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

verbal hemlock
#

never really had that issue, I don’t think

hushed aurora
#

I have an screenshot that i think that can describe it

#

Again, it happens rarely uncommonly

rotund fox
#

Vanilla combat has always been an issue for me smile_degtyarev

#

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

finite dragon
#

so... the duty guys want to shoot everyone right?

robust forge
#

Nah

#

They want to shoot the mutants

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

thats what i mean

robust forge
#

Yeah, that's Duty

#

Dressed in red and black like edgelords

finite dragon
#

and freedom? i dont know any of the lore stuff

#

and i just skip past the diologe

hushed aurora
#

Bruh,

rotund fox
#

Go play the games smile_degtyarev

finite dragon
hushed aurora
#

But you aren't lazy to read our description zak

finite dragon
#

"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."

robust forge
#

Freedom smokes weed

rotund fox
#

Damn man, damn.

robust forge
#

That's all to them

finite dragon
hushed aurora
#

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

finite dragon
#

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

hushed aurora
#

You must be cursed lmao

finite dragon
hushed aurora
#

I got crashes too but not so often kek

finite dragon
#

every minute it crashes

#

should i install the patch?

#

i think i will

hushed aurora
#

Idk, i guess

#

But i think it requires a new game,

finite dragon
#

bc im playing in coc

hushed aurora
#

Not sure

#

B r u h

finite dragon
#

because it deletes my saves when it crashes

#

idk why

#

so bruh

#

k

#

i installed the patch

hushed aurora
#

I'd recommend you to play the vanilla games instead of CoC

hushed aurora
#

CoC is just freeplay with no story

finite dragon
#

i kno

#

w

hushed aurora
#

You ain't getting anything about the story because there's none

finite dragon
#

i like sandbox

#

games

robust forge
#

It isn't sandbox

hushed aurora
#

The original games have actual storylines to play

finite dragon
#

and freeplay/freeroam/openworld/sandbox games

robust forge
#

It's freeplay

#

There is literally nothing to do

finite dragon
robust forge
#

Nothing to focus on

#

Just walk and shoot

finite dragon
#

there is the debug feature

robust forge
#

What

lucid mesa
#

Anomaly has the lost to the zone questline and also a lot of sandbox

#

best mod

finite dragon
#

which you can spawn in thousands of bandits

lucid mesa
#

in my opinion

hushed aurora
#

I prefer Story or Soup mods tbh

finite dragon
hushed aurora
#

But go play the vanilla games

lucid mesa
#

anomaly is just a straight upgrade from COC

hushed aurora
#

To atleast get something

finite dragon
#

only that because im poor

robust forge
#

The worst part

rotund fox
lucid mesa
#

Yea you need to experience at least Soc and Cop to enjoy mods tbh

hushed aurora
robust forge
#

Anomaly is a step to the side in terms of gameplay

robust forge
#

But a huge leap forward in terms of what they did to xRay

hushed aurora
#

The recommended order to play the games are SoC>CS>CoP

lucid mesa
#

that's the best part of stalker

#

the atmosphere

finite dragon
#

i mean i know that soc is hard.

rotund fox
#

Well you don't, but don't expect the other mods to tell you about them

hushed aurora
finite dragon
robust forge
#

SoC is a breeze

#

Even on master

hushed aurora
#

Master is still not really challenging

finite dragon
robust forge
#

CS is the hardest from the whole series, but it isn't that hard in general

lucid mesa
hushed aurora
#

CS has regular difficulty

#

Not too hard at all

lucid mesa
#

I don't think you need to play CS to understand the storyline

finite dragon
#

k

robust forge
#

You need CS to understand the lore

hushed aurora
#

^

finite dragon
#

k

hushed aurora
#

CS has the most lore

robust forge
#

Since CS expanded the lore

#

Yeah

lucid mesa
#

everything is pretty much explained in CoP

robust forge
#

It used the best way for making a sequel

#

No

hushed aurora
#

Not really

robust forge
#

CoP doesn't explain squat

lucid mesa
#

I have changed my opinion

hushed aurora
#

In CoP i think they sorta assume you already played the other games for the most part

finite dragon
#

anyone know stalker 2's actual release date? i mean i know that it will be 2021 but which month

hushed aurora
#

They don't tell you that much

robust forge
#

In CoP they don't really develop anything

lucid mesa
#

2021 was not the release year

hushed aurora
robust forge
#

Only that military did a mistake

finite dragon
lucid mesa
#

it was a code

hushed aurora
#

brb

robust forge
#

And that there's a big metro underneath the zone

finite dragon
rotund fox
lucid mesa
#

idk much about it because i'm not fluent in Russian but some weird code

finite dragon
#

А ну, чик- crashes

lucid mesa
#

bro you don't know pain until youve played some shady mod for ShoC like priboi story

rotund fox
#

I remember when i spent like 2 hours trying to find a stash in a mod xd

finite dragon
#

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

lucid mesa
#

Installing stalker mods from 2012 be like ėöřöáú ņčôĕ æêø!!

lucid elm
#

what

finite dragon
#

what does ėöřöáú ņčôĕ æêø mean?

rotund fox
#

moon runes

finite dragon
#

wut?

rotund fox
#

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

lucid mesa
#

I deciphered that for 2 hours while trying to install demosfen

lucid elm
finite dragon
#

welp

#

the timer has ended

#

and the game didnt crash

#

Gg

rotund fox
#

Why did you even play the game without the patch lmao

finite dragon
#

Because crashes are fun?

finite dragon
lucid mesa
finite dragon
#

Finally someone got the joke

#

Any estimated release date ?

lucid mesa
#

n o

hushed aurora
#

Nothing confirmed

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!

vast fox
#

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.

finite dragon

Not confirmed

it will be released

finite dragon
#

Im Fine and i cant wait STALKER 2

sand oar
#

I can wait

frail spire
#

I can wait since I'm not having much hope

tired anvil
#

Been almost 3 years since the announcement at this point. Feels like there isn't much of a wait left so idm either

still ridge
#

People are trying to compare the S2 development to SoC

#

I find that funny

tired anvil
#

I find it sort of fair tbh

#

When we don't know that much, we aren't really prohibited from guessing anything

still ridge
#

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

tired anvil
#

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 peepoShrug

frail spire
#

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

tired anvil
frail spire
#

Am I wrong? Most AAA is trash

tired anvil
#

Nah not really, couldn't describe it better in such a short way

frail spire
#

I would love to say it's good, but it isn't and there isn't a nice way of saying it

Howdy ho

#

I just got off a mission killing 2 cats (that sound like jaguars or something) near the railroad in Cordon...

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.

lucid mesa
#

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

cyan marsh
#

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

shadow drift
#

at this point i kinda doubt it will even release

cyan marsh
#

@ GSC Game World cough

cyan marsh
#

all thats pretty much next is gameplay reveal

#

i doubt they'd go this far just to cancel it

shadow drift
#

i've seen vampire the masquerade 2 trailers

#

seen dead island 2 trailers too

#

years ago in fact

cyan marsh
#

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

shadow drift
#

it doesnt have to be cancelled officialy to die tbh

finite dragon
cyan marsh
#

So you're thinking of a Half Life 3 scenario

shadow drift
#

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

cyan marsh
#

they'll release gameplay when they're ready

shadow drift
#

nothing has even been SAID

#

which is osmething that bothers me

cyan marsh
#

they said 2021

#

there are literally 9 months left of 2021

finite dragon
#

That’s something that is reassuring

cyan marsh
#

what do you want

shadow drift
#

im talking gameplay related

#

for several years not a single gameplay related thing has been stated

finite dragon
#

Not have if set release date means that they don’t have to rush the game out buggy and a mess

cyan marsh
#

GTA V had its first trailer in 2011

#

The gameplay was only shown in 2013

shadow drift
#

and they told people what the map will be like didnt they

#

the setting?

#

the size?

cyan marsh
#

did they do it all in 2011

shadow drift
#

not it 2011 but they sure did something in several years

cyan marsh
#

they didint even start talking about major stuff until 2013

#

I dont see why you're so negative about it

#

just have faith

shadow drift
#

cuz it's been around a decade

#

and all we get is nda nda nda

cyan marsh
#

ima say this for like the 3rd time

#

they said 2021

#

NINE months left of 2021

#

311 days

finite dragon
#

Only nine months

shadow drift
#

they also said the release date wasnt specifically confirmed didnt they

cyan marsh
#

late 2021/early 2022 range

#

most likely case scenario

#

let the devs use the time they have

shadow drift
#

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

cyan marsh
#

pressure and overpromising was what made cyberpunk 2077 flop

shadow drift
#

just literally stating a feature that will be in is all i ask for

cyan marsh
#

do you REALLY want THAT much communication from gsc?

shadow drift
#

saying 1 gameplay-related thing in a year is asking too much?

cyan marsh
#

they revealed the 2021 release window in like what

#

2018?

past shuttle
#

Patience you all must have about this case

#

This argument looks pretty invalid

shadow drift
#

i've had patience for a decade though

past shuttle
#

It is not about it

#

A decade or two decades, does not matter

shadow drift
#

like urgh
it's really not that hard to say anything about the actual game is it

past shuttle
#

The game was cancelled once way before back in the past

#

And now they are making the game again

cyan marsh
#

Ide prefer for GSC to remain quiet

shadow drift
#

cool but can we actually know something about it

past shuttle
#

There is no reason not to be patient

cyan marsh
#

As to not overhype expectations and then be sorry for cutting loses

shadow drift
#

im not asking them to put the game out asap
im asking for a tiny level of actual communication

past shuttle
#

You think they won't?

cyan marsh
#

Stalker has such a large community for such an old franchise

past shuttle
#

They will surely

#

Just wait

cyan marsh
#

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

shadow drift
cyan marsh
#

no

#

what im saying is that once info gets out people are always starved for more

shadow drift
#

as though they arent starved right now

past shuttle
#

That is a fact

cyan marsh
#

and the more months between the info and release date

#

the more hungry and rowdy people get

shadow drift
#

not true btw

past shuttle
#

Not true? Objection!

cyan marsh
#

Biggest examples are cyberpunk and no mans sky

#

people WANTED it

past shuttle
#

The example is Cyberpunk

shadow drift
#

i remember tf2 having great examples of the devs communicating updates before releasing them

cyan marsh
#

they wanted to KNOW what it has

shadow drift
#

we had patch notes that the community gave feedback about

cyan marsh
#

devs caved in

past shuttle
#

Team fortress 2 is an online game

shadow drift
#

that doesnt matter
it gets actual content

cyan marsh
#

vriska you're talking about post launch content

#

TF2 barely gets content nowadays anyway

shadow drift
#

oh for the love of
content is content
people give feedback on what they hear/see and the game improvess with it

cyan marsh
#

its a horrible example of dev communication rn

shadow drift
#

im talking about the old tf2

cyan marsh
#

What is Stalker 2 suggestions for??

shadow drift
#

type something in there

cyan marsh
#

literally thousands of people have sent ideas

#

I DID

shadow drift
#

right now

past shuttle
#

He can't

#

It is locked

shadow drift
cyan marsh
#

I sent my suggestion in January of 2020

shadow drift
#

and do we know what they think about it?

cyan marsh
#

that channel has been open for like 2 years

shadow drift
#

do we know if they will do anything about it?

#

nah it's like throwing letters down a pit

cyan marsh
#

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

shadow drift
#

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

cyan marsh
#

YES

shadow drift
#

explain

cyan marsh
#

Because what if they change their mind?

#

And scrap it later?

past shuttle
#

A possibility

shadow drift
#

and is it that difficult to say that

#

is communication really that much of an issue

cyan marsh
#

And then get a passionate fans hopes crushed?

past shuttle
#

🤔

cyan marsh
#

what are they suppose to say?

shadow drift
#

"they scrapped the crow hunting idea my hopes and dreams are crushed"

cyan marsh
#

I really feel like devs should NEVER promise anything unless its absolutely confirmed like a month or two before release

finite dragon
#

Hunting cows=fun

pseudo yoke
#

Saying they want something in a game isnt a promise

#

Hey we wanna do x

shadow drift
#

promises isnt the same as communication
