Nah, it's all about the map 
For the most part it doesn't affect any day to day activity but it can change the way you play a shooter
Lmao
For me regarding CSGO it was genuinely the map though, had more people coming from the right, so the gun being on the left gave a tiny bit more vision
Fair enough
Most people don't change that setting just because they're used to right handed
Sidorovich was supposed to give you weapons instead of Wolf. You can find his line in the game files.
<string id="escape_trader_start_dialog_199">
<text>Стой. Вот, держи пистолет и патроны. Ты что, без оружия в Зоне на раз пропадёшь! Кстати, когда тебя приволокли, у тебя при себе нож был. Я его прибрал, а то мало ли - вдруг у тебя с башкой нехорошо? Теперь вижу, что всё вроде в норме, так что получай свою собственность обратно.</text>
</string>
Wait. Here, take the pistol and ammo. What are you, you are going to get lost without weapon! By the way, when he brought you, you had a knife with you. I took it for myself, never know - what if there's something wrong with your head? Now I see that everything seems to be normal, so get your property back.
That's why the Marked One was called Messer in the builds.
Cool thanks for sharing I wonder why they changed it
There was a quest where you had to kill a courier of Duty, which had some kind of information.
<string id="mil_max_dialog_3002">
<text>Да. Лукаш поставил задачу - перехватить курьера "Долга" по пути с Радара в Мертвый город. Не подскажешь, где лучше это сделать ?</text>
</string>
<string id="mil_max_dialog_3003">
<text>Хм. Лучше его перехватить до того, как он дойдет до хутора у прохода на Мертвый город. Там его явно будут ждать и ты вряд ли справишься. Да и через деревню идти надо будет, а там лучше не показываться. Двигай восточнее деревни и быстрее.</text>
</string>
*- Yeah. Lukash gave me the task to intercept the courier of Duty on his way from Radar to Dead City. Can you tell me the best place to do it?
- Hmm. It's better to intercept him before he gets to the farmhouse at the passageway to the Dead City. He will be obviously awaited there, and you're not likely to be able to do it.. And you'll have to go through the village, but it's better not show your face there. Go to the east of the village and do it faster.*
@radiant aurora did you figure it out?
I wonder what dead city was like
Idk, most likely dead
Depends on what Dead City... There were several versions of Dead City. With mercs and bandits, Freedom or... zombies, if I'm not wrong.
and izlom
There was supposed to be the main base of Mercs but it was just cut from the game due to many reasons.
izlom lore is that it's your dead grandpa who became a zombie and is super skinny because he was starving
the map is pretty small
only not so fun part is that there's a tunnel in dead city
the zombie ones is a parasite related thing
Дааа, вот была группировка... хех... по всей Зоне про нее легенды ходили... Говорили о них и хорошее и плохое, только мало кто правду знал. А правда-то в том, что с Зоной они справиться хотели, раскапывали причины ее появления. За что и охотились на них военные сталкеры, только не знали, где искать. Правительственные организации что-то знали, чего обычным сталкерам знать не следует... так-то. В один прекрасный момент они нашли какую-то очень важную информацию и часть группировки, вместе со Стрелком, рванула к центру Зоны. Половина группы полегла при подходах, но они-таки добрались. Что с ними произошло потом, никто не знает. Сгинули они похоже. А оставшихся в группировке тем временем отловили да вырезали... и никто не выжил. Вот такая вот история
Yea-a-h, there was a group... heh... There were legends about it all over the Zone... People said good and bad things about them, but few knew the truth. And the truth is that they wanted to cope with the Zone, they were digging out the reasons for its formation. That is why the military stalkers hunted them, but they did not know where to look. Government organizations knew something that ordinary stalkers shouldn't know... that's right. At one point, they found some very important information and part of the group, along with the Strelok, ran to the center of the zone. Half of the group was killed on the way there, but they made it. No one knows what happened to them afterwards. They seem to have perished. Meanwhile, the rest of the group was hunted down and slaughtered... and no one survived. So that's the story.
Hey frens 👋 this where all the STALKER regulars hang out?
#💬┃en_offtop Moment
Thanks for the translations, Mez 
I mean why not, maybe he'll say something fun
There's a special setting for that one. Damage or smth like that.
Anomaly has player dmg to npc and npc damage to player iirc on top of protection amount
Also npc spread throught range, honestly giving them railgun accuracy is not fun
@still ridge apparently i had to swap it to a certain beta
But now i have another problem which is less a big deal
The version of the game is noticeablr different
The hud is weird
And there's like a sway when i move around that is kinda annoying tbh
Did you switch to an old version
You should try switching back and see what happens
older versions are definitely more buggy
yeah i'll try that
but because of the weird version swap none of my saves work
i made a new save and ka pow game
deleting that, how is it relevant to stalker
svd better than svu
What is up boys love SOC so far got to dark valley is there a way to rescue the duty member with bullet?
On my save dogs keep attacking the bandits and the duty member gets shot or mauled by dogs right away.

Interview of Zakhar Bocharov and GamingBolt.
@tired anvil @pseudo rivet You have seen this one, I'm right?
Such is life in the zone
I feel like you've been waiting to say that all day to someone on this server lmao
Когда-то был у меня друг... не верится, да? Эх... а ведь мы с ним вместе в Зону пришли, когда вот этого всего ещё и в помине не было. И чего мы только ни творили, куда только ни лазили... да, молодые были, море по колено... Только ему всегда было мало. Он к центру Зоны уйти хотел, и меня тянул, а я отказался - и правильно, что отказался... Мы пособачились тогда здорово, и он сам ушёл... Только мне говорят, видели его там... он за "Монолит" сейчас стоит. Так ты вот что, Меченый... Как человека прошу - найди его, и... в общем, чтоб он не мучился, ведь и так, небось... Он мне как брат был, понимаешь?
I once had a friend... you can't believe it, can you? Eh... We came to the Zone together, when none of this stuff existed. And all the things we did, all the places we went... yeah, we were young, the sky was the limit... But it was never enough for him. He wanted to go to the center of the Zone, and persuaded me, but I refused - and it was a good idea ... We quarreled with each other, and he went on his own... But people tell me that they saw him there... He's fighting for the Monolith now. So that's what you should do, the Marked One... As a human being, I'm asking you to find him, and... I don't want him to suffer, because he's already, I guess... He was like a brother to me, you understand?
О бармен из модов
I was waiting for the full one for a while now
Вроде в зове чернобыле этот квест есть
Только этот был взят из файлов ТЧ
k, k
Okay I living
and I'm dying
reload save and kill the dogs
What is this from?
Shadow of Chernobyl's text files.
is it a game file or is it actually in the game
It is in the files but for some reason wasn't used.
Yeah. Looks like some of the mods restore that Barmen's quest
But it was suppossed to be a well-paid quest.
10 000 rubles.
The problem is - he was on Radar.
I can see why it's well paid
But I think it should've been higher knowing the prices of things
maybe not
I have no idea how I managed to gather 5m rubles in call of chernobyl
❤️
you can gain everything very quickly in CoC
Yeah
but the way I got it is that I memorized guns that are worthy to sell along with experimenting diffrent trader's prices to see who buys this gun the best and I basically loot the most important guns and I buy gunsmith kits for repairing instead of technician repairs for cheaper costs
Any tips where the Stone Flower artifact runs its errands in teh Swamps?
I have Veles but I can't find it anywhere in or around the anomalies
No idea where it was last time
Are you looking for the quest item or for an actual artifact?
Despite scientists in SoC having tons of problems with not enough staff, zombies, mutants and other factions like Freedom and Mercs. They made (or could make) many useful discoveries.
- They made an artifact with no drawbacks under laboratory conditions.
- They were pretty close to create "a new generation of antigravity-based engines based on Gravy".
- They were pretty close to open a teleportation machine using Jellyfish artifact.
- They learned how to generate electricity using artifacts (Moonlight is one of them).
- SSP-series/SEVA suits pretty much use essense made out of artifact with antirad effect called Urchin. It's pretty rare. Could be one of the reasons of why those suits cost so much.
- They could transplant Flesh's eye to a person. The thing is - Flesh's eye also can smell.
Despite Duty and Army trying to destroy the Zone - they use artifacts by themselves ("to develop new means of protection") but don't allow people outside of the Zone to use them (You still can see collectors, medics, religious ordering a particular artifact for their own purposes).
Duty explains that they use the means of the Zone to destroy it, but it's not explained why Military use them ...
It seems that the Ukrainian government is making a poor attempt to control the use, storage, and transportation of artifacts.
Duty, Mili boys and Freedom suck
Always hated how they are portrayed in the trilogy
Evil guys
I have love only for Clear Sky and Loners
ukraine's gotta deal with russians at the border lmao
and crimea
not time for artefacts
They should just go all together to the CNPP and chill
I'd like to curse the politics now but no such words allowed
yeah
When Stalkan wishes that Duty, Monolith & Army disappear
have you guys thought that the models in the trailer might not be the duty and freedom models but one of the types
like different types of members
i think the guys depicted were probably more mobilized
while say the ones at the bases would have military gear
I'd love to see more military stalkers operating in the Zone
Especially closer to the CNPP
And those encounters should be intense as hell
different gear for different jobs
Any PoIs in the Swamps I might be missing?
Walking around scavenging stuff from stashes atm
PoIs = Points of Interest
Points/Places whatever
it'll be out whenever it's ready lmao
We haven't announced the release date yet)
NDA Game World: 2030 or maybe 2230.
Or 3330

And at year 3330 Netflix buys the rights to make 100 season series based on Stucker
Hehehe
Where I have to sign the docs?)
(Completely inaccurate to the source material while they're at it
)
"Strelok and Degtyarev's crazy adventures in Space Part IV"
"We've found stalker world problematic so Strelok will be replaced by Slavianda and all ecologist members shall be people of color"

The door in x-18 is kinda moving with dust coming out
Does that mean there’s something behind it or is it supposed to do that
And my vision kinda went red and blurry
where you at?
epic embed fail
& Scar is portrayed as the villain for some reason 
Strelok is the sexiest man change my mind

Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!
Was guide apart of streloks group?

guide and doctor are strelok group's mutual friends
guide helped the group getting through the scorcher and doctor helped injured strelok after his group first visit to the center
weird how guide is strelok's friend but doesn't recognize strelok when u meet him in soc
yeah
That's it! We finally got the CMs to reveal the release date! Time to write to all the journalists. This is HUGE
I wish I can speak russian
Maybe he knows
heheheheh
kinda
I have a Russian friend and he usually plays Russian games but I can't really communicate with the game he's in
But learning a language is a pain
Understood
And also this community
yeah, i'm learning english and it's pain for me(go to #💬┃en_offtop )
But russian harder
yeah

Sidorovich also didn’t recognize strelok for some reason
Because he had a mask

Oh but wouldn’t he recognize the voice?
The voice was obstructed and sounded different because of the mask

Damn it
I'm trying to do a playthrough of all the games on the initial versions (no patches)
And there are literally no versions of the game anywhere
I turned to piracy, and all the cracks available are for the patched game

I wonder if I punch in the codes from GoG/Steam, maybe the games will work then?
Fair enough thanks for answering

Where are moderarors?
@hallow vapor ah yes because it is so offensive and makes you wanna report me to the twitter moderators
Yes but it's on 9th of May
It's on the 8th and 9th
Since it was the 9th by timezones in Russia when it happened, but the 8th in Germany
Aaah, I forgot about that one
Dunno, we celebrate it on 9th
I thought everyone does either way
Nothing, just the celebration
You already thought we'll get an update didn't you? 😂@finite dragon
We don't celebrate it at all
It's just WW2 victory day for some countries
oh
Dunno about the rest of the countries around but I know Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro celebrate
I think Slovenia does too

As long as the universe gets expanded

how does eveyone recommend getting the canon ending in soc without exposing yourself to tons of spoilers?
Don't ignore the mission of talking to Guide
Then Doc
You should be good for a while after
hey
Heya
can someone tell me how tyo play this game
You click until everything dies
Think only with your trigger finger
does someone remembers a pokemon fan guy who asked why we are good without pokemons? 
found it
There were multiple, good times
How come Sidorovich rips you off in SoC but in CS he doesn't. Does it have something to do with his hair?
he's taking advantage of an amnesiac man 
makes sense
Don't ignore the mission of talking to Guide
@tired anvil When’s that again? Is that after yantar
Thanks for the advice btw
@soft ice you'll get it after you get out of X16
Thanks
The right way to play is to skip all dialogue and autistically explore while completing quests by sheer chance
The right way to play is never leave cordon and reach 50000 ru by selling stone flowers and makarovs to sid
and you get 500 ru from sid
Does anyone know if Stalker 2 will receive an Unreal Engine 5 update before release ?
the public release is this summer so there is plenty of time for an update pre-release
Up and running, soldier!
no
books?
There are non-canon stalker novels
Most of them written in russian if I'm not mistaken, plus a couple written in english
Well at least it's not an edgy stalker fanfic
The english books have fanfic quality tbh
Southern Comfort and Northern Passage are some of the worst ever books i've read
Both of them have really questionable humour and extremely boring characters
All with a Great Victory! Happy holidays to all! Happy Victory Day!
Is STALKER 2 actually going to release on Xbox before PC?
stalker 2 website says that
but gsc website says it will come to pc but launch on xbox first
hey any1 wanna come to call
I heard Samsung put few millions under the table for Samsung Smart Fridge launch
Happy victory day
Stalker 2 site and the devs said that they will launch at the same time
Bruh, we have a problem
they lie
or not...
i don’t know
Actually he makes a good point with the GSC stuff
Because now I can't remember, whether this is unedited from a while ago, or is this new
Because some time ago, somewhere else it said something similar, but they fixed it when people asked about it, and they mentioned that it was an error
I still think the S2 website info is more modern, but asking them won't hurt I guess
Bruh
You won't get an answer like that lmao
I already asked, we just need to wait and hopefully get an answer now
Is there a mod like OGSE for cop?
no
Imagine pinging a dead account 
Here is the latest FAQ from their VK
In google translate
Question
It will release at the same time. Case closed.
Is C-Con dead in lore or were they spared?
No one knows
It is implied that strelok destroyed C-Con
Suppose we'll find out in S2
||Tada tegul svetainę atnaujina jpp kiek galima||
Also might just be me, but that translation link doesn't work, though ik which Q/A you mean
It works for me
Yeah the link doesn't work
For a split second I can see the page, but then it goes blank Google Translate mode
Same
It works for me even in incognito mode and on android
The website gets borked, yes, but the text is still there


ANyways
Игра выйдет одновременно на PC и Xbox series X/S. На консоли от Microsoft S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 будет доступна по подписке Game Pass в день релиза.```
On what platforms will Stalker 2 launch?
The game will release simultaniously on PC and Xbox series X/S. The game will be available on the Game Pass for Xbox on the day of the release.
This isn't a new Q/A though, it's only updated, this answer can be as old as on the S2 site)
Alright but what else do those guys want?
The answer we just got from McCulkin 
Who even goes on the GSC website?
I do to get any info about their other super secret project 😳

Why I don't like SoC as much as I like CS and CoP...
Dead by Campfires
Relationship system
Buggy quests (to kill the Skull's group)
Misleading quests (Protect the stalkers at Agroprom, which is actually a quest to kill some mercs on Military Warehouses)
Markers don't disappear even after the death of NPC
Awful spawn of NPCs
Terrible transitions to another location
You can simply avoid disabling of Brain Scorcher if you have 10 or so bandages
You can't get different dialogue variations because of bugs.
Personally never liked the artifact system in in either
Same
Id pay for that 

Quiet in here
Sky looks clear today. Seems like its gonna be a good day in the zone.
Finally i found an artifact. I can go retire already
Really? Where?
Agreed The bugs are such a pain in that game I recently ran into the skull glitch and when I got to chance to kill sparrow to complete the quest to kill him he despawns upon entering wild territory also I know this is the first game but the factions feel less interesting then in other games mercenaries are bandits with different gear freedom is full of hippies who give you a quest to kill a guy for disturbing Mother Nature... but at the same time are also anarchists who act similar to bandits it feels like a bunch of ideology’s got blended into freedom because they didn’t know what the faction was meant to be yet and constantly getting defend this or destroy this quests when entering areas is so annoying
Anti-SoC gang?
you can just download mods eksdee
I like shadow of Chernobyl it just feels like the lore and gameplay weren’t as fleshed out as they where in other games and I sadly can’t get mods to work no matter how hard I try witch is upsetting because I really wanted to play oblivion lost
im My opinion SoC is great if you atleast have a gun mod installed. Love the org tho.
OLR is just unpack and play, the configurator isnt that hard to do either
I tried Gordon but it wouldn’t work I’ll post it in suggest a mod if you or someone else can get it working however
oh it is. didnt know.
ey Gordon you still chilling in that tunnel in wild?
The one your talking about isn’t the one I am check suggest a mod
Oblivion Lost 3.1 doesnt have anything to do with the real Oblivion Lost
Iirc it's just SoC but with a bunch of added stuff
When's 4.1 coming
OLR 3.0 when 
3.1 is the version I wanted so badly to play but it won’t work
Trust me youre better with OLR, 3.1 is pretty worse and different from what ive heard
Real quiestion is when hi_flyer will give us translators the texts
Because he doesn't $$%#^ care about the english community
But I don't blame him, better to focus on the mod
I looked at your version and I didn’t like it 3.1 is what I really wanted but I’ll never get to play it
What doesn't work exactly
Well I downloaded the 3.1 version and all I got was a single white file I know that can’t be right
Hold on I’ll get a screenshot
'grats
It was room for S2 
X18 spooked me pretty good. I think I wasted 200 bullets shooting at the air
You can't install spoilers on a Niva or Zapo
Whaddaya talking about
It comes with preinstalled supercharger
||I thought at the end of CS you kill Strelok but it in SOC he gets to the wishgranter, I'm confused as to what actually happened.||
CS takes place before SoC
Not the other way around
Chapter 2 > Chapter 1 > Chapter 3 in order of release
||he became brainwashed/a marked agent that was on a mission when the death truck at the start of SoC crashed down, then he has amnesia and SoC starts||
||strelok did manage to get to the cnpp but failed||
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.

Just beat call of pripyat, what do I do now.... Anomaly, misery, dead Air? What mod should i play First?
I highly recommend Spatial Anomaly
very good story mod, fills in some of the gaps from the trilogy on top of telling its own beautiful story
now play it again but pick different choices 
||cs stopped him, mainly scar with the worse version of the gauss gun||
||he was still alive and was marked with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tattoo, the rest you should know if u played soc and finished the canon ending||
||doctor doesn't recommend the wish granter? if he is so wise, why not go to the wish granter and find it out||
||Wish Granter is a lie.||
i don't think people realise "meet with guide" task

hello agroprom, i'm the marked one.

Does anyone know if stalker 2 is gonna have a co-op system?
NDA, Aka we don't know
Oh well, even if it doesnt its still gonna be stalker 2
can anyone explain to me about artifacts in soc. i already finished soc and cop many times
I'm confused with the artifact in soc
+10 radiation
does that mean it gives me more radiation protection or not?
@finite dragon whichever faction you agree the most with
Okay i think i will join the
I think that duty only harms the zone so I joined freedom
if I had to join another faction Freedom would be my choice
By the zone I mean the stability and the livelihood of people both inside and around it.
I am now a man of science
Duty just bring out more mutants.
Scientists are pog
Mercs aren't bad
And Renegades, Monolith
ye
Mercs from my understanding are middle of the road
mercs get fragged by anomalies 24/7
Give me artefact i give you money

I mainly hate duty due to how they claim to be making the zone safer while there attempts to destroy it just make it more dangerous they basically shoot themselves in the foot and call it progress while not doing anything to actually help the zone such as dealing with the bandit and Hostile mercenaries. I mainly joined freedom due to there live and let live approach carefree nature and attempts to study the zone making to more understood for everyone.
Yeah
I would join CS but their not as deep in the zone
But I imagine freedom and CS are cool with eachother
Hello my English comrades
Hola
Agreed I would have joined clear sky but unfortunately there gone expect for two members who I don’t imagine trying to restart the faction anytime soon
How yall doing stalkers?
Good thanks for asking loner
Neutrals better 
I have a lot of respect for the loners a lot of members are interesting and kind people but I prefer to try and make a difference be apart of something big
based freedom
Bro the lab in dark valley is big spookiness
good
Haven't had this kinda fear since Outlast, mainly cause I wasn't expecting slavs in gas masks to be crawling around the lab like a vodka and shrooms induced fever dream
vodka lol
Still on the first game but I'm making a pillgramage through the games to play some Stalker Anomaly so I can enjoy the game world even more when I'm exploring in it.
Then I'll also be ready for stalker 2
nice
recently finished soc again. such a great game.
those labs still get my heart pounding
Getting some good artifacts in the lab rn for the roubles
Might be a little dumb of me but I'm playing through them with modded weapons and retextures just to give it a little polish
it's ok
Excited to play through CoP with the gunslinger mod
Those animations are just so good
Well i suggest you play cop without mods first
gunslinger is ok but the ||mod makes enemy like controller more op||
yeah i did too but ive already played it without any a couple of years ago. gunslinger is really nice. that's a good choice.
it's impossible for you to kill it
haha yeah i found out that the hard way. was trying to kill it for 10 min
I mean kinda adds to the survival aspect of it, sure you can kill it but I usually run away from those psychic fucks anyway lol.
But when I get to it I'll give it a shot without mods first

CoP with mods for 1st playthrough is like installing Windows 95 onto Windows 7
cheers! ...got any more vodka?
thanks! by the way you know where those groza grenade launchres are at?
its eehm for research
i dunno
you need to get used to cop first. After reaching to new locations, you can finally try mods
ok nevermind. just curious y'know
Um tf is the beefy mutant walking on its arms?
I went up down some stairs saw it and noped back up stairs for a second
go hug it. it'll hug back.
its just showing that its friendly np

im thinking maybe you could get lucky and throw enough grenades to kill the controller?
if you ask the hunter, he'll tell you that you need to throw a grenade to kill it
not sure if it works
evade its line of sight
aim for the head


hard to find that body is. its there just have to look closer
yeah i tried killing the controller at the dangerous cave with grenades. only had 2 tho so if you got atleast 5 you can do it i think.
use pineapples
¯_(ツ)_/¯
you mean pineapples as in grenades or? feed it pineapples perhaps? maybe controllers hate pineapples
they could be allergic
the ultimate strat
So I just had to reload the save
the guys body actually was disappered before I reloaded it.
so you found it?
🍍 💥
Yeah
I was looking right at where it is in the video and I was like tf where'd he go
cool
Now I just have to fight this fire ghost anomaly
Hey whats the best way to get an SVD?
Depends on the game
You can find two easily in the Red Forest in SoC
As for CS you can get one in the Red Forest near the lowered bridge I think
CoP - stashes
all svds in soc already have scopes installed
Even better
& if you're lucky enough, you can find one when looting freedomers bodies in army warehouses
So Idk if this was scripted or not but it was cool AF I was defending the rookie village from those mercs right after I got the documents from the outpost and in the middle of the Merc fight the UKDF rolled in on us and started shooting too so it was like a 3 way skirmish. Somehow the loners survived
UKDF?
ukraine defense force?
just died on ironman 1 life
how far did u get
a couple of days
aleksa,play he was a good stalker
;(

pass the vodka

Yeah The Ukrainian Defense Force
The Ukrainian Defense Force of Afghanistan
what game are renegades from
Clear sky
Fallout
splinter cell
hope not
nah just like asking random peeps if you have decent rep and are a veteran enough
companions with questlines are very easy to screw up cuz of writing
It shouldn't be out of place to be able to have a stalker or two accompany you

should i kill skull group in soc?
i finished soc many times
I'm wondering what happens if you kill them?
will every duty in rostok go hostile to you?
Yes
I mean, they will become hostile
Same as Freedom does if you attack their base with Skull's squad
You get nothing out of either options honestly
The best way to do it is to have Max’s group wipe out Skull’s squad without you killing any of them. You maintain the stalemate between the two main factions and get to finish Freedom’s questline as well as get the Bulldog 6 for Voronin, and nobody goes hostile
@verbal hemlock Every time I tried that, Max's squad gets wiped out
you gotta give it a few tries
Pretty quickly too
eventually they’ll win
I'm gonna have to restart 20+ times for that to happen 😂
it’s up to you if it’s worth the time of a few tries, I found it to be worth it, and it didn’t take too long for me either, only 3 or 4 tries
I saved several times through the fight
I’d see one of Skull’s guys go down and say, alright, Freedom has the advantage here, and save the game. Then I’d reload any time freedom lost too many guys or the duty guys weren’t going down, rinse and repeat until Max wins
just a little bit of save scumming
Nah. But I guess it depends on your reputation. If you kill his group - Duty guys on Rostok won't attack you
i have excellent rep
Idk it’s kinda messy. I’ve killed a few of Skull’s guys during the mission, then I was attacked by Duty in Rostok with no way to stop it
GDI! 
I recommend it but that’s just me if your going to do it I suggest getting help from freedom so you get rewarded doing do will also open up a lot more freedom quests and potentially let you join freedom but I don’t recommend it since it turns duty and the scientists for some reason Hostile while allying you with bandits and mercenaries again for some reason
Oh thanks
So lore question, how come loners and mercy barely get along? Loners seem to do a lot of the odd jobs that includes mercenary work itself. Is it mainly cause the mercs work as more of a company vs loners as lone contractors or just the mercs have different interests in the zone?
Good question maybe because mercenaries get a lot of contracts to kill loners
It depends on whose the mercs are working for
not pertaining exactly to st as lker 2 but heres a p good topic
you think the anomalous zone bleeds into belarus?
There's some Shamans from it, so probably
Loners hate Mercenaries. Many reasons: mercs are unscrupulous killers, they leave no witnesses, they don't like their idea "Money doesn't smell".
woah, where was that said?
“The story of the battle druids.
They say there’s this one gang... People call them Shamans or Druids. So it appears they don’t use any electronic equipment at all, say they want to stay close to the nature and stuff… Well, they reason the Zone reacts stronger to equipment… To all this electromagnetic emissions or something… They say it attracts monsters. Basically, they believe the Zone is like a living being, you know. Like, it’s no good going into it with all these gadgets. If you’re right in your mind you’ll get by fine without ‘em. Doesn't stop them from carrying assault rifles, though… Guess the old teeth and nails are not up to the task, eh? But then again, you don’t hear a lot of stories about one of them kicking the bucket. Well, at least no more than about us… So, who knows, maybe they are on the right track there… They seem to be coming more from the Belarussian side, though… I’d like to have a look at them one day and check out their pockets for some artifacts…”
thats pretty based
There’s a lot of mentioned groups
Shamans/Druids
Curs
Final day/last day
Razorheads
I remember only the Final Day and Shaman (only one) being mentioned in the games...
Aye, just Final Day and Shamans
this sounds very familiar
has strelok flashbacks
funny bald Ukrainian man

i wish they make more 3d cutscenes for stalker 2
LOVED the SoC cutscenes
cutscenes in soc feels so different
One of the reasons it's my favorite
In CoP it felt kind of off
Especially Major's interactions
And the english NPC voices were lifeless
can't believe a game from 2007 has a realistic hair if you watch one of the soc cutscenes
Lol true
i think they were on a rush making call of pripyat
At first I thought it was live action
I mean the first cutscene when I first started SoC
No idea honestly
But that would explain it
i like soc game artwork it gives me a "I'm there" vibe
Firstly I'm a fallout fan so i tried fallout 3 and its bad
i feel regret buying it
glad i found stalker
always loved stalker for its immersion
the sound design is phenomenal

sad many people don't know stalker
"this game is on Russian i can't understand wtf they trying to say xddddd who is this fat guy and why he tell me to steal a document"
stalker is the only game that actually scares me
i can't play stalker without my parents coming home lol
stalkers the only game which gave me that "pit in the stomach" type feeling
even yesterday despite stalking 6+ years,cleared out rostok and in the dead of night im jumped by zombies 
keeps u on ur toes lmao
people complaining about bugs anomaly and keep crying that they can't kill enemy
all it takes a 7.62-mm headache 

litrally
here's my tip
- move your mouse and left click
can anyone give me duty and freedom sound file? Idk how to unpack db files
some of them were hidden gems
Deggy’s English voice actor ❤️
thanks

now this is epic
very epic
i can finally make think mark stalker version meme
plazma burst wuz sik
yes
I think someone already made it, unless you want to go for more than the drawing
I'm making a gmod animation
Ah, nice


Alright lemme ask you guys something
I got into an argument with this one guy about whether or not Clear Sky knew what they were doing
What do you all think
I said I believe they did
He said no
They got their theory proven wrong in their face and the faction disappeared
My answer can be concluded from that 
How was it wrong
They knew what they were doing, just that they didn't expect the result that actually happened, so their theory was "disproved" and it resulted in their leader being killed
Yeah see that makes sense
does anyone know if there have been any more news on the release date of stalker 2?
oh my god
I just realized the storming okoban is the quest item for the dutyer fetch quest
and I just left it on a corpse in a previous playthrough
aaaaaaaaaAAAA
Stalker 2 irl leaks confirmed
Nope
It's not appening in 2012 but 2021
lol
Who got to the wish granter this time ? who ?!


can someone refresh my memory please.
where did duty have their base before the events of clear sky happened?
i remember hearing that the path to ||the bar was filled with anomalies, and many stalkers were trapped.||
did they have their barracks there back then?
@wicked current was Agroprom, no?
well yes, that's where their base is during that game. but is that their first base too?
As far as I'm aware, yes
alright
Not really, but it'd be cool if they bring back cut content officially. But I'd really want the cut monsters honestly. More variety of pain and getting scared
@reef flicker like what mutants?
More variety of mutants scaring the crap out of you
and I guess difficulty
still, just saying it's cool if they decide to bring cut content to the next game
but if not that's also cool
I mean sure, some things could be cool, but things like Izloms were cut for a good reason - they were garbage 
Not really tho
Ight let's stay here ig lmao
They flop like sacks of potatos as soon as you flip them
They are literally cripples lmao
Still confused IG
Either way, what I am sure is they'll bring new stuff in that's not from cut content
so I'm looking forward to that
izlom don't really fit the game
Well yea, they did mention new mutants, anomalies, artifacts, guns etc
I want Duga 
how about cats?
They wanted to do duga from the begining but could t due to the engine
No not really
They could due to the engine
Yeah
Doggies
I am looking forward to buying the exoskeleton in stalker 2 only to die from getting attacked by a rat 3 times

Unless they do something cool and new for cats, they're basically reskinned doggies
Yea, now they have teeth too
all the more reason to arm yourself with an automatic shotgun
f I keep forgetting bad words are not allowed
but yeah
I'll be super terrified from them once the game is released
then again, i'd fight them anytime over a controller or burer
Wonder what's going to be the next deadliest mutant, I doubt there won't be a stronger one than the current ones
Bruh,I don want a saiga 12 only need a MP 153
Nah make it a Makarov and you got yourself a deal 
with just two mags and no medkits
I don't wanna make a Mak and cheese kit
stalker 2 map will be bigger than stalker soc right?
Supposedly
can't wait for modders to make stalker 2 for soc 
Can't wait for Stalker 2 to come out finally so I can just buy it and wait some more to buy a better PC so I can play it
i feel you
hopefully good gpu's will be in stock again O.O
If only the GPU was my problem

I need a whole new machine
Everything is old 10 years probably
Except for my GPU which I bought 2-3 years ago
Some i5, 8GM of RAM, GTX 1050ti...
I need everything
What's weird for me is it runs BF5 on Ultra smooth af, but can't run CoD Warzone on low
that sucks, for me my gpu is the problem. I think it's dying :(.
In 1 to 2 years
True fact
and I'm no longer sad
There will be over 30 firearms in the game, each with its own modifications
Yeah, just wait for the TAZ guy to hear about this, and he'll bring that number up to 3000
No, you do not understand. Those 30+ firearms are the only ones in the game. Whole Zone must share them.
Bandits shoot, throw guns over, your turn to shoot, and so on.
^
He took a break from modding tho
30 guns sounds dissapointing until you realise that COP had 30 guns
and not to mention that they've probably completely reworked attachments
and there is always going to be modding
what interests me is that they're still adding new stuff though
judging by the preview
The fact that they still don't share several details makes it sound less likely that it would release this year imo
We’ll see this summer I bet
when the me when you the when me
when if
me sad that no release on ps4 😔😔😔😔😔
snoys btfo
I mean,
Did you really expect it to release on that gen, at this point
lol
interesting faq. hopefully it comes out on steam so i dont have to wait a year like i did for metro.
I think they said in another faq it would be on steam but that sort of thing can change
ok hopefully nothing like that changes
I'm guessing from the faq stalker 2 happens after the events in Call of Pripyat

This was confirmed to be so a while ago, yea
🇭🇺?
I just hope we get to visit the NPP unlike CoP...
And CS didn't show much of it either
watch stalker 2 just be stalker CoC
and there be one guy who looks like the teeth modeling guy
teef
what's kinda concerning is this
where the player's choices will have both short term consequences and global outcomes.
what made stalker special is that the world didn't really care about the player in particular, hopefully it won't lose that magic in the sequel
for me, atleast
Im hoping it'll be unforgiving and harsh tho. If they're going to have grand endings they might as well make us feel worthless when playing.
maybe not worthless but not like a hero perhaps.
something like just another stalker
Sounds like Misery fork crap,
I'd like it to be like in the trilogy,
Not unfair but not easy either
the old games were perfect for me
i wish they didnt completely change freedom though
Slightly concerned that Unreal won't be able to do A-Life as well
i wasn't thinking about misery. more towards maybe call of pripyat story wise.
A-Life 2.0 was confirmed ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Let's see what unforgettable experiences we get
Watch ST2 be real big open world shooter with every NPC sharing the teeth guy model
They already confirmed every smile to be unique 😎
Except 2 was a typo and had to say 3
Gordon Freeman as stalker 2 protagonist 😳
can we all agree that this

is useless
yes and no
Defo not useless
Knife hella good
At least in SoC/CS
PB-1s is the worst weapon in the game for sure
the accuracy is very low
EM 1 Rifle
||EM 1 Rifles allows to finish the game tho||
Most ragequit before they get to it anyway

PB1s sucks
Man we better see sidorovich return or im going to riot
never have used it to shoot another stalker
they need to add fart fun in stalker 2
choices can have an effect globally
Yeah I'm thinking it's time for the old clear sky noosphere becomes self aware ending
Rpg
Killed myself more than I've killed bandits with it
shooting rpg drops my fps lol
Hunting Shotgun I also find the knife to be pretty useful against certain enemies like humans blind dogs burers controllers and flesh
Where do I become I a STALKER?
The Zone
If I'm being honest, seeing a Stalker game with more then 20 pixels a frame is unholy XD
Excuse you?
The one without upgrades.
It eventually gets better as you progress the upgrades
but to be completely honest
The short double barrel shotgun is the most useless for me, but that's because I prefer to avoid close quarter shooting
Nah that's normal lmao
Some stalker players would tell you playing the game with potato laptop or computer is the true stalker experience back then
the only reason i use it is because reload animation in clear sky and cop
Oh yeah, the reload animation is the one thing I like from that gun
but combat wise it's just not good, at least for me, unless you're either a huge risk taker or packing x20 bandages 
yep
It is good for early game mutant hunting
but sooner or later you will have to ditch the damn thing
ok 😔
I do wonder how much Stalker 2 would be on release day
not that I'm stingy, even if it's $60 I'll still buy it
regardless of the price, I know it will be worth it
i just hope it doesn’t suck
It's alright to have that anxiety
But I have faith they'll bring a new Stalker experience while retaining the old ones and adding the new along with it
It's not a Stalker game without bugs 
I am afraid that they'll make Stalker 2 into Anomaly 2, not Stalker 2
It's a justified feeling.
I have that feeling too.
But despite that, I am sure they'll make a great game regardless.
Seeing they keep the vanilla knife model has given me hope it wont
Same
but we all have to verify one thing when the game comes out
and that is if NPC's would pull out a guitar from their ass before playing it
jk
Oh yeah the AI
One thing is certain in this next game, Sidorovich will still rip us off
that is if he's still alive
True
With that said
I do wonder what new guns will they add for Stalker 2
lots of new weapons have been developed after Call of Pripyat was released
personally, I'm looking forward for the PP Bizon or the Kriss Vector
the weapons have been revealed
Im sure they will pull up something from cut content like they did with protecta in cop
Fn p90 maybe
Oh, really? Sorry if didn't know that yet. Been busy for months now.
To celebrate the 14th anniversary of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the team at GSC Game World have given us an update on the much anticipated sequel. Get a look at some of the detailed character and weapon models being developed for STALKER 2.
STALKER 2 is coming soon to Xbox Series X/S and PC.
np, take a look at it when you can. It's pretty cool
