Ok
i figured
Started playing Call of Pripyat. Already inspected the three helicopters, and got my hands on plenty of weapons. I don't know why, but CoP is less creepy compared to SoC. Must be getting used to the Zone and becoming one with it...
Zaton is pretty tame
Mostly focuses on the human conflicts of Bandit vs Stalker, Beard vs. Sultan, Mercs v. You
Yanov and Pripyat are a lot creepier and atmospheric
It's a lot more open than other terrains.
ngl... I needed a gameplay trailer on 2/23 ... when we'll see something new about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?

they've been pretty quite so far in 2021
Im playing CS faction wars as a Bandit rn and i arrive at the outpost at the end of the Cordon and all of the enemy loner NPCs diassapear
Wierdest thing is that no emmision happened
Am I remembering wrong or does the weapon over haul mod have a ppsh
Its a glitch i have that expirience
Do you download clear sky free?
I got it off of GoG why?
:)
Nothing just askin
The rarest artifact in stalker is the
Cheeki breeki artifact
It has the power of all artifact in one
Most stalker try to find it but it failed
And @runic rapids has the power of the cheeki breeki artifact
Yes :)
Show the artifact
No
Why?
It is secret
Ok
Actually there is 2 cheeki breeki artifact
And i got the last one
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:opposing force
You played as LT kruglov on the road to the CNPP there kruglov will encounter some monolith
And other stuff
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Red shift
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. opposing force
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Life
when it comes
I have not felt this bad for the whole week! Beware, everyone!
don't you find it suspicious that the release is supposed to happen this year, and we still didn't have a glimpse at the gameplay?
GSC never said that the release is this year 
Wasn't it 2022
an old announcement had "2021" written on it
so imagine if that's not the release date
it would be pretty dissapointing for sure
ah shame
still baffling to me to put a date on an announcement and then call it a cipher and not the release date
yeah, bruh
Well, think of it what you want, but as far as official info goes, the 2.0.2.1 was a cipher
when will they release stalker 2 gameplay like they did with soc
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Never
Never
cool
Yeah ik
I wish people were calling the Stalker guns properly. Like AKM-74/2, AC-96/2, Kora 919, PMm, Obrez, Hunting "Rifle", Fora-12, TRs-301, RPG-7u, Steppe Eagle, SIP-t, UDP, Walker, PB1s, Martha, ViperFTW, VLA, Vintar VS, SGI-5k, GP37, FT-200m, SVDm-2, SVUmk2, SPSA14, Chaser, Tunder, IL86... It isn't so hard...
Ah yes, ViperFTW, the best smg 
that name reminds me of some ytuber
No
There's a guy in India with a similar name, this once caused a great deal of hilarity when I used to play Battlefield 3 and half the clan I was in at the time accidentally added him instead of me. For like 3 years there were two completely separate groups of people who had become friends with two completely separate "ViperFTW"s! I never actually spoke or met the guy, and I think he technically got booted out of a clan he was never in when this was found out. 😁
I'm no longer in touch with most of the clan members, but it wouldn't surprise me if a handful of them still play games with the guy. 😆
yo will this have multiplayer?
so im in chernobyl now and everything is going crazy
ok game crash when i try to save
nvidea gforce enabled?
Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!
Maybe it could also be dx version issues
Why? Who knows, half the time the game crashes I barely have an idea why
lol this never happens in other place like in bar or army warehouse
now i get it
Once you in chernobyl npp, you can't got back
and you can't save
strelok really had a hard life tho
but i really need help with this
No, no you really should be able to ave your game whenever really...
a
CATS CONFIRMED
wow more art lets go
Doubt it
oh?
Suggestion for the admins:
Add a role for the twitter bot, so that we only get pinged once Stalker 2 releases, instead of getting a heart attack every time someone makes some really good artwork.
Gun
i need stalker 2 my fellow gopniks
b
Stalker isnt niche lol
its quite hard to find someone who even knows the name in my country
oooh i just noticed your discord bio and i love it
👍
just call all the make dead sticks happy names like sunshine, a nice curry evening with the lads or the firstborn lamb of the year.
Some people invent facts for themselves
as long as it’s not those dumb cats from anomaly
Calling Anomaly AI dumb. Plays Call of Chernobyl on journo difficulty.
Sorry, I had to make this dumb joke


alright need to ask rq
if i get a cat companion in the new stalker
I will flip my sh*t
nah blind dog>kat
no
yes
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet! The World fears The Zones expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent. Stalker, protect the world from The Zone. Join Duty.
> Role: Bandits

damn just started playing misery like 4 hours ago
and its ez af
easier than vanilla
Miserable mod, innit
the problem was just the "configuration" when i click on it the game crash
i got best gear and weapons
misery was my first stalker game
I object
@violet jacinth You didn't say you chose the hardest difficulty
Plus, you didn't say you chose the easy mode selection when installing the game
Are you sure about this?
i didnt change anything ?
What do you mean?
everything default
In which difficulty were you playing then?
black road
How do i get the role as monolith?
Nice the Man
i do all tasks at zaton then go yanov then do all tasks then go pripyat
In 4 hours, you did all of that?
You were trying to speedrun or something?
Very interesting
or more
Tw
tter channel 
Thx bro
all my homies hate the bruer
The what? Bruer? Bru.... Erm...
Burger
Burer burger? 
smoked burer
@sullen dragon Grilled burer

mm 
The only way you can do everything in zaton within a few hours is by cheating, nice try though.
Iron forest alone will probably take a while to prep for, and then to successfully overcome
Doesnt matter if your in a diffrent faction
Doesnt matter if your a rookie or a expert
Doesnt matter if your rich or poor
What that matter is your a stalker.
||You're*
||
Kek
Gonna need an artifact to help my PC run Stalker 2
Wait, is that what they're called? It's been several months since I've played stalker.
Artifacts? Yeah it's right
So uhh. I can't turn in any of my jobs involving Wolf. He stood in a fire and killed himself...
Based
lol i do most of tasks at same time like at do snag mission and blood sucker liar mission at same time
and why u think i cheated just because i finished all tasks at zaton?
That's not the case
mhm?
What does mhm mean?
i mean continue
He suspected you of cheating for the reason that you had completed all the tasks in Zaton in a short amount of time
Especially Misery
well as i said above
i do most of tasks together
i do Snag container + bloodsucker liar and mercenary camp + get gas tank for Blood sucker liar etc
.
well side quests change a lot of things in ending
and to get money to get ready for the main ones
You can simply look for the artifacts... but anyway. Sidequests are fun to do.
well u will need good suit for that
They aren't boring like in any CoCk fork.
Not really. I used the main character's old sunrise suit.
well got alot of artifacts but sold them and the highest price i got is 7k i think
The great Stalker economy 
It was fixed in CoP. It was a lot worse in ShoC
i found stoneblood
Try using second tier detector
First tier detector (Echo) won't help you there
in vanilla u find it there
In vanilla, it is there
i think i need to talk to the tec guy at zaton
i gaved him the pda that was around the skeleton in there
That should not trigger the artefact to emerge
well
the pda that was there said there is artifact on top
ok then
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!
no one cares
stupid military

Now you've done it boy....
🥱
@slow arch Will you please hunt down this individual?
who Major , who f big time ?
This karbi is talking s about MY ARMY!
me
iam in place no one can find me
yea , sure.
gl finding me
we see about that , Criminal.
look at his pfp, he's in some dark room
will be dark more when i throw F1 grenade.
i have rpg
stalker aint a role playing game what do you mean
no for real i have rpg
and i have Mi-24 - Approved by Goverment of Ukraine.
i have gauss rifle too
i have BTR.
i have heli
i have Mi-6.
and jet

so?
we have helicopters.
i said i have jet but didnt say i use it
u know where ur guys buy them?
Mil Mi-2 , Mil Mi-6 , Mil Mi-24 Hind we got them from Goverment of Ukraine , why you asking this ?
why not
we are Military after all.
i dont need faction to be strong tbh
even if you don't have faction but you are in Zone , you are Loner. (aka stalker)
well now even strelok dont have faction and u said if u dont have faction ur loner and loner is enemy with military and in CoP strelok met with military and become friend with them

He offered his cooperation with the military boys
yes.
Let's see what happens in S2
yes after Call of Pripyat.
i wonder if he survives.
because CoP got so many endings.
i play anomaly and he is neutral with every faction exept monolith and bandits
the endings that we are 100% are correct are , that Major complet his mission and object 62 was secured.
idk about u
anomaly isn't canon
well
Anomaly is Anomaly , and this is mod we talk about canon stalker
aka vanila.
Anomaly is going in 2018 , i think.
yes
well i killed major deg
Calm down army boy
and i can give u pic of his last moments
i hate when somebody brings un canon thing to vanilla.
It has the storyline of ''Lost to the Zone''
the only mods that could work that are approved by GSC.
Though it is uncannon, I liked it
we could say , they could cannon i think.
I see
@violet jacinth i will beat s*** out of you for this screenshot.
🥱
yes.
s a u s a g
but don't call mercenaries , because that food will disappear.
god dammit.
what were you even trynna do
😔✋
i think he try ping all mercenaries (ping role)
well i don't know emojis language either.
there was an AI mod made by a retired modder called xStreams, it was included in Clear Sky
no story mod is canon though, and rightfully so, since they're all bad 
@grand pendant Is this mod efficient for the game?
I have started to replay the whole series
I'm asking because I might need that addon/mod
<@&565845176291950592> IDI KA MNE
oh no what have you done
no
this server is a good one with good roles permission assignment
it allows stalkers to heal, use grenades, etc. AI improvements in general, if it wasn't efficient GSC wouldn't have bothered to reach out to her and include it
see iam not hurting anyone by my trols
Her?
CS has it included, for SoC look for xStreams LUA pack or smth
@grand pendant That's amazing
👀 mmmh,yes
Can you share the link for that?
quite true...
<@&606456451057188865>
Alright, thanks
what is going on ?
nothing
ok.

In ShoC, after I save the dudes in the vehicle junkyard (The first place you visit in Garbage), some of them keep dying by throwing themselves into fire
I don't get it at all
rip
Anyway, it's free loot 

Didn't fix the "lol let's just simultaneously chuck our entire inventories worth of grenades in one go" though did it? 
Hi
bread
yes , hello.
I think you cheated cause you can't exist anywhere near the iron forest without some adequate protection lmao, same goes for the Stingray that crashed in the chem anomaly field, or the merc compound.
Though the Stingray one might be more doable if you spam stims and just rush in perhaps
He's talking about Misery, so not really, anomaly fields melt your health without upper tier suits(and even then your suit and hp are constantly taking damage). Still, the dude is lying 
Ah. I remember. They decided to make Poltergeists and Controllers OP for no reason. They killed you with their psy field in seconds.
If you wear basic armor.
And they are unkillable af.
They aren't unkillable but they have been buffed massively yes
Again if this was vanilla COP i would believe him since all the damage multipliers are a joke and you can just run into an obj, complete it, and get out without losing even a bar of health
In Misery though? Yea i don't think so
misery
Misery isn’t “hard” it’s just unfair
you do no damage, but enemies kill you in one hit
I didn't say it's hard. 
I was just pointing out the difference
Artificial Hardness = unfair
A couple hits*
Unless you get shot in the head, the he does the little death dance, shouts a expletive and falls over with a grunt 
yes
but you don't die as fast from all the bullets
it's a fair tradeoff
especially at the CNPP
i used to be a Duty guy in vanilla playthrough because their armors are the best
best for fighting
only way to access to their best armor is joining them
you cant join duty or any faction in vanilla
... In SoC you can join only one faction - Freedom.
In CoP you can only side with one of them
In CS you can join any faction as far as I know (Renegades, Military, Monolith aren't included)
Meh. Everybody help you in CS.
CS, Loners, Duty, Freedom...
Mercs at some way.
I think only bandits don't help you but ||spoiler||
im playing coc, does anyone know where freedoms trader is? i thought it was agaprom but apparently not
im playing coc, does anyone know where freedoms trader is? i thought it was agaprom but apparently not
not yet
I wish I knew the answer then... 
i didn't know this place exist
i at the npp but at the other side
with electric thing coming from balls
what am i suppose to do in this area
the only task i have is kill strelok
some holographic guy ask me to join c con or not
i choose no and got teleported in the other side of the npp
Hello
good morning
Greetings!
@finite dragon walk into the balls
you’re following teleportation anomalies to reach the c-con’s lair to kill them all
just follow the path laid out for you
nah because as far as i know that was gsc's coding, but it was disabled, she just enabled it again.
I'm not 100% on it though
CoP isn’t that far off from one

They all have one bit of rpg
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?
[test]
i got the scientific suit
damn
like the seva one but green
and low armor
guys
should i sell gauss rifle after i raid X8?
Can the gauss rifle even be sold? (and imho, don't)
CoP?
SoC
@violet jacinth No, use it in One Shot and the Evacuation
The Gauss Rifle should never be sold. You can get an astronomical amount of money quickly through every other method that exists besides selling the Gauss Rifle.
Is there a vr mod for stalker
Lmao
emissions in vr
Jumpscare source basically 
you turn around and theres a bloodsucker behind you
I hate them
when you hear him but cant see him
Horrible experience it would be
imagine playing VR when inside one of the labs

Sounds awesome though
Stalker in VR
Like Half Life in VR
Maybe we will see Stalker in VR after Stalker 2?
Who knows 
chernobyl NPP in vr
Will make your brain boil
Drinking 10 bottles at once in SoC
Spamming vodkas like they are nothing

dont drink and shoot comrades
I tried clearing the bandit base in Dark Valley while being insanely drunk and miserably failed kek
Only could kill 2 bandits
when you get cheeki breekid
i downloaded the call of chernobyl mod yesterday, game is already so different 
what do you call that wave where you start to go crazy and theres a loud whooshing sound
and your screen turns purple and your guy starts waving his camera around

mines been going on for 2 hours now
idk how to stop it
just a whooshing every two seconds
strange
followed by the camera waving around like a drunkard
tried reloading a save, quitting the game, exiting to desktop
nothings happening man
keeps coming back
prolly
not sure how to fix it tho
@glossy plank could you record it?
how to get fast money in stalker
Do missions, sell artifacts
a r t i f a c t s
ok and what are some quality of life mods, except misery and CoC
Sell artifacts, load of them. Sleep, Collect, Repeat.
Define quality of life.
i dunno, just some well reviewed mods
Move to #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
Why is duty called dooty by most stalkers?
Because memes
Deadly Anomalies
Stalker 2 when
Ok
im reinstalling the game rn
if the problems persists ill record
I join monolith because they can protect themselves fron psi emission and radiation
You should join it will be fun
Its easy to join monolith.
Just take a walk near the scorcher and your a monolith

kruglov keeps walking into an anomaly
how am i supposed to lead him to yantar
when he keeps committing suicide
You play vanilla without mods?
Sorry for the late response but personally I just either hunt anomalies and do jobs for traders
nah i have the AMK mod installed
I have bad news for you... 
From my experience, mods make vanilla even more unstable, that's for sure.
Vanilla didn't have such problem every time when I played it.
They have a Smth-RP for CoP and it made somebody's game unplayable and unfinishable.
ill just get anomaly
Good idea
ive reinstalled SoC so many times cuz of bugs
I installed anomaly for the first time last week, before that i exclusively played vanilla and Soc
And wow it’s so much better
(In my opinion)
I’m sure you will enjoy anomaly
hopefully man i just wanna get lost in the game
thanks man :))
Man I just started anomaly the other day and it's def something you'll get lost in.
Have you beat SoC
yeah
Then try CS
i really want cs because you can join any faction but i heard a lot of bad things in cs with bugs i mean thats ok
my game crash whenever i try to save in chernobyl npp so i had to run and dodge all the bullet to get to the npp entrance
CS is the best
I had a similar experience
It would save
But wouldn't
It said it saved but would always load me at the start
So i went to a previous save grab as many meds as i could and just rushed to the underground
the npp is really scary but not that scary like x18 or x16
bad thing to do but it's your money
honestly CS has never been that buggy for me, definitely not worse than SoC. Playing it vanilla is fine and there’s the Sky Restoration Patch and the Faction Wars Respawn Fix to make the game even better in terms of bugs and stability, with some optional features as well
cool
I never listened to any of the endless hate and criticism of CS, I just played it and I love it to death, it’s a great game with a lot of heart and soul
i dont know why these toxic people hate cs
there are legitimate criticisms of some design choices but the hate is very much overblown
people just really like to put games into categories and say, “X is the best game ever, a true classic. It’s way better than the newer game Y, Y is awful” and everyone ends up circlejerk hating on a certain game because other people are hating on it. Its always Stalker vs. Metro vs Fallout, never Stalker, Metro, and Fallout. I just love all of them tbh.
not saying you have to like every game but everyone should try to judge them based off the experience they give you, not by what other people are saying about them.
I saw a guy who adamantly refused to play Clear Sky because all he had heard was the circlejerk of hate for it and he started hating a game he had never even played for inconsistent and incorrect reasons. ultimately yeah it’s his money, his decision, but he probably missed out on what might’ve been a great experience for him just because of an overblown hate train
at the end of the day, Clear Sky is a faithful installment that tells a vital part of the trilogy’s story, and although it isn’t perfect, it’s a game made with love that’s full of loveable characters and storylines, and it’d be a shame to miss out on it
its like hating lou2
i had like 8 different playthroughs in clear sky
its that good
each playthrough i picked a different faction/weapon/armour
and the weapon upgrade system is lovely, soc didnt have that
tlou2 was actually trash though, but lets not get into that
Or I will end up dropping gamer words

is it weird that I kinda like how low quality the stalker graphics are
it's good thing for potato pc
your not alone
I like the graphics that way. It gives off a vintage vibe and yet still has a great atmosphere.
And yeah, great for potato pc.
does soc addons work for cs and cop
got some loot? that's a beaut.
idk,does blueberry jam works as a battery for soup?
Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!
so cs is just raiding simulator
i like how the music plays whenever you in fight
this feels like half life
no depresso, just expresso
The last part of the game sucks for real. It's also the worst part of CS.
Worst part of CS = dynamic music
Shouldn't have been added imho
Besides the wrong music, it also doesn't really fit well as a concept
so it means i bought the wrong game
It means you turned on the wrong option
that in't supposed to happen tho 
Idk why this game gives that hl vibe
and hl reference, a rookie named Gordon Freeman
and the hl2 portal reference
I was playing mercenary ironman yesterday and i came across these freedomers
Usually I'm like "I'm going to shoot these dudes and die lmao, then I'll load and be serious"
So i shot one of them in the face and i was subsequently killed
"Time to load"
And i was like oh yeah
Ironmam
I have to disagree i actually really liked the dynamic music, my favorite is combat music 3.
The other combat themes are ok
But i really liked how the music adapted after the situation
i am loving anomaly so far
its so hard to get started tho
downloading the provakk weapon overhaul cuz im a gun nut
@grand pendant Hey, Slyth. Looks like I don't have enough time to check all my translations. Can I ask you a favour?
Can you check the correctness of them, please?
@gusty trench sure
@gusty trench "artist of some kind" youre like a horror artist through and through,dont undervalue yourself
I always turn the music off when playing. Makes me feel far more immersed.
Wow. So I find a box up in a tower, I shoot it, and suddenly I am surrounded by more ammo than I can actually carry. Thanks I suppose
hAcKeR mOmEnT iNtEnSiFiEs
Can't wait for that True Stalker mod to release.
nvm wrong chat
just killed all the renegades on swamp
heading to cordon and get shot by military
cs is not really scary as soc
I fr hope they dont remove the leaning mechanic
it's gonna be so smooth leaning from a corner and picking off bandits
I still don't get why anyone thinks they would
not really at all, the tutorial may have given you the wrong impression. It’s still a lot like SoC, promise. Just keep playing
you can also turn off dynamic music if you want, it’s legit just an option
Renegades are Renegades and Bandits are Bandits
Yes ^
Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!
Well i thought the first underground bit was scary
CS has its own fair share of scary moments
looking at you Dark Valley.. and Agroprom... and Red Forest West... and Army Warehouses... and the Hospital...
Duty member getting launched 
They're just Bandits you can gun down without upsetting the actual Bandit faction who you can meet & join later on. 
(I mean, canonically, they are different as said, but that's pretty much the reason they exist).
I prefer "Duty member getting lunched" personally. Lots of fibre in 'em! Good for digestion. 
Still think the scariest location in Clear Sky is the Great Swamp; in that it honestly scares me how anyone thought "oh yes this area is great, let's put it in the game" as opposed to "this area is balls, let's just set fire to it." 
I see it as a regular map
You start in, do the stuff you have to do, have fun killing Renegades, get the stuff you have to get, and come back when you need to upgrade smth
Don't really see much reason to hate it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Then you will never understand... 
It's obviously subjective. I just find the whole area so. [Expletive]. Dull & tedious to go through. It takes an hour to get anywhere, all the routes around suck, and it's like a money black-hole cos of all the hilarious radioactive water and the extortionate price of anti-rads or Vodka at that point in the game.
I was chatting to a mate of mine yesterday, and we both can say with certainty that the reason we've both played Clear Sky the least of the three is cos it starts you there and the ending. 😫
there’s landbridges everywhere
You don't have to go through the water
I barely get radiated at the Swamp
And usually just heal what i get with Vodka i found on stashes
I barely spend any time there either, even when I do everything there is to do there. I definitely don’t see it as a barrier that would keep me from playing CS more than the other two lol
It can be tedious, but tbh most early game maps can be quite tedious as well
there’s landbridges everywhere
"Everywhere" he says. No there aren't, that's a tremendous over-exaggeration.
You don't have to go through the water
Yes, I know you don't, but if you wanna get somewhere without taking up hours out of your life then you haven't got much of a choice...
bruh what
then you haven't got much of a choice...
This is an exaggeration as well tbh
I never go through the water
Unless there's a stash there
I’ve played through the swamp half a dozen times
Not in this series I find. Cordon's great, Zaton's great.
I never go through the water.
Was speaking inside CS, not the other 2 games
oh yeah cordon’s great when there isn’t a giant barricade cutting the map in half that you have to walk all the way to the chokepoint just to get through lol
For example, when you clear Cordon i had quite an experience doing the Magic Vodka quest
Idk how you can say the swamps are bad and Zaton is good in the same sentence
Spent a while to get to it, then went all the way back to get the pda for the military dude
Okay fine, CS Cordon and CS Garbage are great then. 
And then felled, died to falling damage
Like I said, it's all subjective innit?
And realised i did not save 
the water isn’t actually an obstruction in either of them but if you see the water as an obstruction in the swamps idk how you don’t see it as an obstruction in Zaton
Lost almost 1 hour of walking because i was overencumbered
everywhere in the swamps have a land path, and you can do some sick parkour if you want to be quicker and jump over the water
idk how you don’t see it as an obstruction in Zaton
It really isn't in Zaton
You can just jump through it
You can't jump on the Swamps water
it’s either an obstruction in both or an obstruction in neither
Nor run through it
That's the difference
But i don't really see as a bad point to the Swamps
Gleh, I've talk about the damn Swamps too much now. I really don't want to keep going. See yaz later. 👋
Bruh
, Cya i guess
Whenever you want to go through water in the swamps, you can jump from the land piece you’re on through most of the water, it really isn’t an obstruction
cya dude
I actually dislike Yantar more than the Swamps
And it's not a bad map either, i just find it a bit tedious
And there isn't much to do in there besides the main quests
It's got decent atmosphere to it, in both games
The sepia filter is a bit odd deep into it but it's a nice touch to how it's messing up with your brain
I disliked yantar in SoC cuz my frames were crap for no apparent reason
Kek
I hope S2 follows the path laid out by CoP when it comes to the safe areas and their atmosphere. Give us places like Skadovsk, Yanov, Hermann’s Bunker, and the Laundromat, I just love chilling in them and talking to all the guys
I suppose you haven't gotten to Yantar in CS
I saw CoP and scrolled up im not reading it kek
It isn't really a spoiler
it’s not really a spoiler but more a thing to look forward to
it’s all a good time
I see
CoP has nice atmosphere to it but i sorta prefer the one from SoC
Completely biased because i played SoC as a kid
I only just played soc a month ago
I only started playing the series about a year ago, played all three in a row
if I had to say I’m biased for one of them, it’s probably CoP just because it’s the most Fallout 2/NV like
but I love all three
I played SoC as a kid, forgot it existed and 3 years i re-discovered it
Then i played the other 2
Its gonna take me a while to play CoP
I think CoP is the easiest to get into
My story with CS is, in a wise person words, "a story of pain, betrayal and redemption"
Yeah it is
Easiest one overall imo
I have midterms in 2 weeks, and then spring is coming and i wanna get to fishing before i need a license
You get decent supplies at the start, a safe area to always come back and your own personal stash
And since spring is here my dad wants to get more chickens and a pig
Not like you can't put your stuff in a stash in the other 2 games but in CoP is more clear
Just a lot of stuff to do now
I was quickly alienated by the map being Zaton, Yanov and Pripyat instead of the zone I was used to, but once I started playing it was extremely easy to get into and I fell in love with the new zones
And im thinking of getting a job in the summer
And once I saw the quest structure I was like, omg, this is just like Fallout 2
Because there aren't many sidequests that take place in Pripyat, i think just 1 lol
I think so too but I still really like the atmosphere and the feel of the ||Fairway questline. I think the Fairway questline should’ve been a lot longer and should’ve had a lot more choices regarding who you can save and stuff like that||
Yeah
I think the main questline of CoP is the weakest of the three, but it's saved from it's great sidequests
||It’s a damn shame that you always have to sit and watch as Ice, Klimenko’s squad, Stetsenko, and Skelya’s Squad die with no way to save them||
that’s the exact idea they were going for
whereas SoC and CS have strong main stories supported by decent side quests, CoP has a main story that serves as a delivery mechanism for all of the amazing side quests and different side storylines
Just like Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and New Vegas your journey is meant to deliver you to all the different side quests along the way
Believe it or not, this is the reason i don't generally replay CoP
I’ve replayed CoP like five times in the last year lol
It's a great game but i find the other 2 more enjoyable to replay
For some reason
It's got the most polished mechanics for sure
I like how all the different characters have different roles to play and roles they can fill
Like how you can hire Grizzly’s squad and Mitay to do measurements, or Hatchet/Spartacus’s squad to guard the bunker after you do their respective questlines
I love when games do stuff like that
I think i missed plenty of stuff in my first playthrough
I didn't even reload a save when Zulu and Vano died in Pripyat Underground, didn't know how long they were dead just find them lol, and decided to leave it like that to know what would happen if they weren't alive
The ending i got was mixed, and i loved how it was made
I’ve only had all of them survive the underground
always kept an eye on them and reloaded when they went down
I’m like that in games, I always have to save everyone
In my case it depends on how attached i am to a Character
it’s why I get upset at not being able to save most of the Fairway guys lol
In Zulu's case i took profit of his death
, but Vano's was definitely pitiful
at this rate I’ll make a mod that allows me to save the recon squad and all the other guys and have them participate in the evacuation
Then make the mod also make the evacuation route longer, with more monolith to kill
Vano is neat
Subjectively speaking, CoP is the best vanilla game due to side content and lore
you go at your own pace
want to play more stalker
remember ending sections with unending monolith spawns and gauss guns
God no
Uhhh
also cop has the Pripyat-1 sequence, which is probably one of the most memorable aspects of the games
I had a blast at the beggining too, then I started getting grenade spammed and sniped in the most bs situations I could ever think of
Pripyat-1 is awesome
Taking down the mercs at the waste plant with a PMm and some nades
But the ending sequence felt a bit off for me, ended earlier than i though
Well it is the shortest game in the series
CoP ending was also somewhat of a pain albeit more manageable
In terms of main quest
Yeah, definitely more manageable
Ah, I see you enjoy getting your balls crushed as well
(CS' CNPP is like 30 seconds so i like to count the Hospital more)
Evacuation would be phenomenal if you didn’t have to spam fire and go sweat mode just to get a chance of saving the guys you’re escorting
just give them plot armor GSC pls
Make them have like 10k hp each
lol exactly
I love the Hospital Ngl
The only bad part of it is when you’re waiting for the CS squad to catch up and you’re totally exposed and surrounded and they’re dropping right next to you
hey guys we're leaving this place
lets run throught a god damn open square which is swarming by monokeks
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
EXACTLY
they evacuated at the worst spot in Pripyat
they literally could’ve landed the choppers at the laundromat
Same
and they would’ve gotten out with no casualties
Like dude, lets go back via the underground passage and evacuate at Jupiter
or get Garry to escort us overland
Honestly the underground section could have used more love
Guide got them to Pripyat with 0 casualties, I’m sure Garry could get them to Jupiter without issue
Unlike SoC which gave you claustrophobia the jupiter underground section gave you the "where are those god damn snorks gonna spawn from" vibe
I guess it had something to do with the Aerial Anomalies, maybe that was the only place where they could land safely
the only thing that bothers me about Pripyat 1 is how you have you spam save to keep everyone alive
does anyone else just have like an irrational hatred for agroprom
Other than that I love it to death
Can't think of any other explanation
Not really
Agroprom as in overground or underground?
@finite dragon Nope. I like it in SoC and CS, moreso in CS because there’s the duty base and the stalker base
Because I mostly hate the overground of needing to talk with a npc while dodging military bullets
I like it more in CS than in SoC
Aside from that I have no complaints
SoC Agroprom is underused
because in SoC you only have to visit it like twice
It meets its potential in CS
The combat vs the military is cool in SoC but other than that they didn’t really use it for anything
Jupiter gang
Garbage and Dark Valley are the same way in SoC
Jupiter is the best area
how Jupiter actually gets much, much more dangerous after you do the hunting quests
Exactly
I mean it’s cool, I like the fights
but I wanted to get through the whole game with Strider’s squad alive
Duty and freedom going at it, and then a chimera shows up
but they don’t go back to Yanov after they leave on patrol and they end up getting yeeted by 20 chimeras
everybody gangsta till a chimera shows up
A chimera showed up during my evacuation last playthrough

Gauss Rifle disposed of it in one shot thankfully
Also upon entering there’s like a pack of dogs, a few snorks, and then a damn chimera INSIDE the train station
BRO
Kek
Sometimes it’s a giant
I just had that happen to me the other day
The yanov experience
lol
at least they don’t kill anyone when they’re inside
I would be so pissed off if I spawned in to everyone that I’ve saved being dead in the station
I need to find a mod that turns off the tinnitus for the controller
so bad
Tfw no lab experiment GF who can give you head from across the map
lmfao wtf
Kek
The stason CoC warfare experience:
spawn in jupiter/cop starting map (can't remember rn)
literally watch a pack of (5-8) chimeras running in the sunset
tinnitus?
cop starting map
So Zaton
That
the ear ringing
I think he means the mind molesting
hurts muh ears
It can scare the heck out of you
I loved that Metro Exodus had an option to turn it off
Controller head hit different
bruh don’t
@still ridge frrr

@tired anvil smh, they’re uncultured
Wait til they hear about what shamans do to mutants



Nothing?
damn, I set you up for that and you blew it
lmfao
Yea, setting me up for something I was 100% not a part of, expecting it to work
Kudos
Irrelevant, all mods have the same thought process
We’re connected through the noosphere
Ok, helper 
speaking of mods, ray of hope looks dope
I am waiting for Xrmpe
Too bad it’s not coming out for 5+ years
RoH doesn't seem to come out any soon
Xrmpe is in open beta
Defence mode is already available right
sadly 😦 i just wanna co-op with friends and scavenge
I’m not sure
Xrmpe does that too
XRMPE
@finite dragon look into xrmpe
Hmm
Iirc Defence mode is already out, and other two modes are coming in the future
Open World and Coop, Open World being just exploring the Zone in mp and Coop iirc it's like CoP's campaign but with friends
When it comes out
