GoG is a game marketplace just like steam but more free in its distribution and more for old game and such

finite dragon
#

so epic games

hazy helm
#

No

#

EGS is so bad

finite dragon
#

epic games and steam gave me free metro

hazy helm
#

Totally different

finite dragon
#

i own all metro games lol

sonic rampart
#

When did Epic Games start fixing old games

hazy helm
vapid compass
#

metro was free for a short time

finite dragon
#

epic games gave me metro 2033 and last light redux for free

#

and on steam og metro 2033 which is way better than redux

sonic rampart
#

Redux 2033 sucks

hazy helm
#

Steam and Epic never started giving free nitro,epic just allowed a nitro free 3 month production you get all year round

finite dragon
#

crazy eye man

hazy helm
#

Epic is so bad

#

I'd start cussing

finite dragon
#

epic gave me free battlefront 2

deft rose
finite dragon
#

and gta 5

sonic rampart
#

I prefer the jankier gameplay of OG metro 2033

finite dragon
#

metro 2033 reminds me of stalker in a lot of ways

hazy helm
finite dragon
#

even the anomaly howl sound is the same like bru

sonic rampart
#

It was the first game i ever bought

hazy helm
deft rose
finite dragon
#

well by the outside looks they are the same

sonic rampart
#

The only reason i find Redux to be slightly better is the stealth system rework

finite dragon
#

lore wise no

sonic rampart
#

with knocking out people and all that

vapid compass
#

they feel different as well when you play it

hazy helm
finite dragon
#

russian gas mask man survive radiation and kill mutants while taking loot is what the base of these games are for a newbie

#

one is mostly a sandbox tho

frail spire
#

Hes a first timer with no idea dude don't waste your time, just wait for him to come back with bad opinions and laugh at him

finite dragon
#

and one is story mode/semi free roam

hazy helm
deft rose
#

Redux fixed the terrible animations on the mutants and hitboxes were also vastly improved

finite dragon
#

bro lore is outside of that

#

the game is literally how i described it lol

#

both are good tho altho i preffer stalker due to

#

free roem

frail spire
#

Redux also killed fps on top of ruining stealth

hazy helm
finite dragon
#

metro is nuclear warfare

#

stalker is crazy scientist man experiment gone wrong

frail spire
#

Metro was made by some of the stalker devs tho

hazy helm
#

Anyway like we said play Shadow of Chernobyl first I'd you do get I tithe series

#

It's the first game

sonic rampart
#

Metro books ftw

hazy helm
#

Any questions about it I am happy to answer

finite dragon
#

@frail spire bro the howl sound of the anomalies in both games are the same, the one in metro is a bit faster

frail spire
#

Dude what

deft rose
vapid compass
#

theres like 8 different anomalies in stalker

finite dragon
#

hol up

vapid compass
#

not just electricity one

finite dragon
#

I reached the infamous machine gun nest in cs

#

Lets see how it goes

tired anvil
#

Uh oh

frail spire
#

Like I said, ignore the fartsniffer and just make fun of him smile_strelok

hazy helm
#

Lmao

tired anvil
#

Try to not ragequit the game over it

hazy helm
frail spire
#

Something about metro and stalker being the same

finite dragon
#

im just saying metro is just way too inspired by stalker

sonic rampart
#

The game version yes

finite dragon
#

yesnt

hazy helm
#

Kinda

finite dragon
#

some yes some no

#

they worked together

frail spire
#

No, it's Yes

tired anvil
#

The first builds of Metro were literally Stalker

hazy helm
#

Basically yes

finite dragon
#

also some sounds are copy pasted from stalker

sonic rampart
#

The books have nothing in common with neither the game nor stalker

#

Besides the basic story

tired anvil
#

The books wouldn't even be finished if not for stalker

hazy helm
sonic rampart
#

True

tired anvil
#

Prof, one of the main devs of Stalker told Glukhosvky to finish his books

frail spire
#

The books ended with the first game, anything past 2033 is literal fanfic

finite dragon
#

2033 was the best metro tbh

#

last light was too based on killing humans

deft rose
finite dragon
#

exodus was just a ripoff of stalker

sonic rampart
finite dragon
#

exodus was based on looting, free roam, completing missions and it was a sandbox in a lot of ways

frail spire
#

I just realised

metro introduced woman to story
game ruined

finite dragon
#

metro last light sex moment

random vortex
frail spire
#

First metro was kino tho

hazy helm
vapid compass
#

bro arytoms wife is just 100% fan service i swear

deft rose
sonic rampart
#

Yeah OG 2033 is pretty atmoshperic

#

the lighting is really good

finite dragon
#

i have 90 gbs of gmod content

deft rose
#

Hey I liked the forays into the surface with the little dark one in LL

frail spire
#

Characters were also pretty good, having the kid warning you from those rats was truly a kino moment

finite dragon
#

what

#

time to cleanup

sonic rampart
#

LL was cool too

lucid elm
#

Stinky sweaty female stalker pants

hazy helm
lucid elm
sonic rampart
#

Yep

hazy helm
#

It's a step down

#

Of 2033 is good then LL is mediocre

frail spire
#

2033 was about spooky metro, LL was about gay politics

vapid compass
#

LL felt like a movie sequel, was good but not as good as the original

finite dragon
#

exodus was about beer

deft rose
#

I liked the parts in LL where you're on your own

finite dragon
#

i hated the parts in 2033 when youre on your ownj

frail spire
#

Exodus never existed, it was just a fever dream from wanting S2

solid dome
hazy helm
finite dragon
#

not me with a rtx 2060 and 10 fps on last light

#

redux

tired anvil
hazy helm
#

I have 60fpa with a 1030

vapid compass
#

10fps w 2060?

finite dragon
#

@tired anvil no stalker doesnt scare me

tired anvil
#

You're not alone only like twice in the entire trilogy

hazy helm
#

Meaning 1030>2060

sonic rampart
solid dome
finite dragon
#

@sonic rampart yes but there was a specific mission

#

where you had to walk in a tunnel

frail spire
#

I mean LL is about more useless ideology wars which was already a thing in 2033 but was secondary to the spooky metro and the people from neutral stations in between

sonic rampart
#

The only times i remember not being alone in the game are with Bourbon, Khan and the expedition to D6

vapid compass
#

yeah, also the dark ones just got swept aside from cool mysterious aliens to another thing in the world

sonic rampart
#

Oh and Uhlman

frail spire
#

Remember the kid you save

hazy helm
#

Aight I'm going

#

See ya guys later

vapid compass
#

cya

sonic rampart
#

Bye

deft rose
#

I heard Exodus gets better towards the end. Is it true?

random vortex
#

Bye. 🙂

vapid compass
#

exodus is a stealth game

sonic rampart
#

I liked Exodus as it's own game

#

maybe if it wasn't called Metro

hazy helm
#

It starts playing like an old one but modernized is what I'm saying

vapid compass
#

a youtube thumbnail spoiled the game for me so i ended up quitting the game during the last section

frail spire
#

"It gets better 30 hours in bro don't worry"

vapid compass
#

lol i made all the bad decisions (which is killing them/not killing them)

hazy helm
frail spire
#

Man screw moral choices in videogames

deft rose
vapid compass
#

yeah but i already know which ending im gonna get, no way I can change it so cant be bothered to see it to the end

hazy helm

#

At least in 2033 when you get to pick between ammo and no ammo you have to weight in how it was a kid who just got caught in the middle of things

#

Not some dumbass who tried to kill you

vapid compass
#

i might try it out one day, will have to redownload. I got on the train to that area, but then accidentally spoiled everything so i just quit the game.

frail spire
#

Forgive guy who will obviously shank you later (good ending) / Don't be a retard and avoid friends getting killed later on by killing him now (bad ending)

#

Modern game template

sonic rampart
#

Oof i just redownloaded Clear sky to see why i stopped playing it last time and now i rememberd

frail spire
#

Yeah it suckz zak

sonic rampart
#

I am stuck in the deserted hospital with no bandages

#

and bleeding

sonic rampart
#

Me too

glossy condor
sonic rampart
#

Yeah

#

i just restarted the level

#

I have a fully upgraded Seva, a VSS and a SPAS 12 but i have no bandages

glossy condor
#

Yeah bandages are like more valuable than the medkits in cs

#

I basically did a no hit run of the hospital

sonic rampart
#

I passed it

#

pretty easy actually

vapid compass
#

just buy like 60 bandages

#

thats how i beat clear sky

#

(actually bought like 24)

#

clear sky its so easy to get bandages

finite dragon
#

My ears are bleeding from listening to bandit radio for over 30 minutes

#

ANU CHEEKIE BREEKIE

#

IV DAMKE

vapid compass
#

xD

finite dragon
#

But that is also because I am just severely under equipped

cinder torrent
#

anymore news on Co-op?

#

no? ok

tired anvil
#

We don't know if coop is coming. That's about it

finite dragon
#

Like I mean I have almost 30 kgs of bullets

cinder torrent
#

Lord know Im going to look like a sitting duck out there XD

finite dragon
#

But almost no meds

#

I have a problem

#

Like I have almost 2k bullets

#

Same, I always carry my main rifle, shotgun, pistol and a sniper rifle. I become a one many armory on the move

hushed current
#

I remember my time in red forest being admiring how amazing it looks then getting jumped by mutants running out of the trees and bushes

finite dragon
#

At the end of SoC I had a AS VAL a rsundre a shot gun a pistol and an AK

#

AS VAL 🙏

#

Every single game its always the best gun

random vortex
thorn gulch
#

Imagine translating stalker 2 to arabic
I bet the arabic words wont work in the game
:thinking:

thorn gulch
hushed current
#

I really enjoy using the As Val and Groza-4 but ammo is hard to come by for them

finite dragon
#

Very fast firing speed

#

Just shreds through exo armors

#

Most accurate gun aswell next to the Guass Rifle

finite dragon
hushed current
#

For clear Sky I used a AKS-74 for the whole game and in call of Pripyat I think I also used it mainly occasionally switching to nato guns

finite dragon
#

Yk i really liked nato guns

#

But I also like that obokan

#

LR-301 every time

#

NATO AP, ACOG, Suppressor and M203

hushed current
#

My favourite NATO gun is probably the SIG SG 550

finite dragon
#

But in Anomaly the LR-300ML for some reason has earth shake, quake causing recoil

little beacon
#

I remember in SoC I grab AS VAL for the first time in duty base, because uity became my enemy by accident and I had to clean their base. So I killed them all and found AS VAL very early in the game

hushed current
#

My second favourite is probably the H&K G36

random vortex
#

The G36 was my main gun when I first played SoC. ahh_nuu

little beacon
#

G36 was great. It was a hard choice for me to use any other weapon when I had G36

clever hazel
#

i just used strelok's ak through to the end

finite dragon
#

G36 is great

hushed current
#

Yeah I can easily see that the G36 has great damage and a scope for more accurate shots but I prefer the SIG SG 550 for its better damage

#

Streloks AKS-74 is overpowered it shoots faster then a Minigun

clever hazel
#

yeah it was busted

hushed current
#

One of my favourite unique weapons however is the Sniper Z-M LR-300-ML it’s so accurate you can get headshot after headshot

thorn gulch
finite dragon
#

Damn machine gun nest

#

It was impossible at night so i went back to swamp to sleep

tired anvil
#

Sleep

#

Uh oh, mods

finite dragon
#

Then i noticed there is another entrance to the cordon at north

tired anvil
#

It's pretty easy at night though, I did it yesterday even

finite dragon
#

You cant sleep in vanilla cs?

little beacon
#

Man I just start running and after dying for 55 times I made it@finite dragonc

tired anvil
#

You can't sleep in vanilla Shadow of Chernobyl either

finite dragon
#

Anyway i went north and only 10 bandits were in the way

#

Much easier than the mg nest

#

That way should be the default one lol

#

Bet lost of people abandoned the game at that nest

little beacon
#

Yeah it was sooo punishing

tired anvil
#

Though it's the way devs intended it to be

#

Aka a l2p issue

solid dome
#

If some of us went through the MG bullets and survived...

solid dome
finite dragon
#

Ran like a mfer

#

Ran like there was no tommorow

#

Yk the only thing I hate about CS is that I can't regen stamina while walking

little beacon
#

@finite dragon I think everyone did so except Gavrilo!

finite dragon
#

Like in SoC I had 1 artifact for stamina and that was enough for me

#

SoC artifact combos are OP

#

can literally become a demi-god

#

What is rupture actually

#

mutant attacks

#

Ah

#

So something I don't need

#

yeah xd

#

Just run

#

Run and made

#

NADE

#

I just realized I have 18 nades in my inventory in CS

#

Yk i dislike BSes in pripyat and CS

#

I can't see them cloaks

#

That is for cowards

#

And tbh shot guns are kinds good early game

hushed current
#

I wonder if factions play a bigger part in shadow of Chernobyl since you can join freedom if you do certain actions

random vortex
#

SoC has the most primitive faction system.

brazen cave
#

soc has factions?

#

how do you join them

random vortex
#

Doesn't it? I haven't played through the game for real in like 13 years.

hushed current
#

Yeah you can gain respect with freedom and duty but you can actually change your group from Loner to Freedom by failing the task kill the snitch then completing defend the barrier if you go talk to Lukash after you will become a freedom member however it breaks the game as you become enemies with Duty and the Ecologists while Becoming friendly with Bandits and Mercenaries

tired anvil
brazen cave
#

oh alright

finite dragon
#

Just raid Freedom base, get infinite money from killing Freedoms and selling their NATO weapons to Barman for tons of cash

#

As soon as i get my hands on a scope im going back to that machine gun nest

#

Im going to kill everyone kot

hushed aurora
#

There's a Scope at the Swamps,

#

Should've explored more

finite dragon
#

Yeah i noticed there were some zones you cant enter due to low armor so i thought the good stuff was all there

#

Anyway im in cordon and ive got some good rifles and plenty of ammo

finite dragon
#

Just drunk a ton of vodka and walk past the next, you will bob and weave so muich that the machine gunners cna't hit you

hope stalker 2 will be as good as the previous games

misty tusk
#

we all do

sonic rampart
#

Tbh these requirements are probably for 4K

stark steppe
#

They are?

#

jesus

sonic rampart
#

I doubt that the game will be that demanding on 1080p

#

And most of the time the requirement section isn't spot on

wispy walrus
#

I mean depends how potato proof it is compared to the previous 3 games

#

You can really crank the settings down HARD in first 3.

sonic rampart
#

I can play all the stalkers with maximum everything with 100+ fps

#

They are pretty optimised

wispy walrus
#

honestly, 70% of ur frames on max are gonna be the rtx(that's in isn't it?)

sonic rampart
#

Yeah, i think the RTX will be the hardest thing to maintain

wispy walrus
#

turning rtx on even on exodus on my 2070 drops my frames by 15-20

stark steppe
#

I really hope its optimized

sonic rampart
#

My GPU doesn't even support rtx

wispy walrus
#

Mind you exodus was early RTX so it ran kinda bad

sonic rampart
#

doesn't Unreal Engine 5 have built in RTX

#

Or something of that sort

wispy walrus
#

I've no idea

sonic rampart
#

I might be mistaking it for their new lighting system

The most annoying thing was, nobody wanted to buy your used guns. So most of firefights with bandits ended up in leaving loot because "uh 70% thats trash".

Saw somewhere that in SoC you can get 5 of the same artifact then stand in the associated anomaly (like Moonlight and electro) and it’ll heal you and your armor. Surely this is just a troll, right?

solid dome
#

Nope

#

Artifact bugs exist as with any type of bugs

stiff lichen
#

I figure it’s a case of the damage you take wrapping around to negative or something?

I tried it with flashes and just died like normal, I’ll try some other things later

hey what did you guys thought of the stalker 2 trailer?

finite dragon
#

I would like to see the old man Lebedev

finite dragon
cosmic minnow
#

i was a bit perplexed that the protagonist took 6 men head on, without cover, walking slowly, and didnt die imidetly

finite dragon
#

even though after watching a playthrough of x18, I'm still scared

cosmic minnow
#

or was fragged to death

finite dragon
#

not many games makes me scared so bad

#

stalker has achieved that

#

yes

hushed current
finite dragon
#

But fr tho, add some anomalies in there to make casuals go apemad

cosmic minnow
#

i remember once i jumped off my chair, i was looking at my map, and then BOOM dead, grenade blew me up

hushed current
#

This might sound weird but the trailer gave me a far cry vibe with characters being weird or strange just for the sake of being weird or strange mainly that guy who turned on a record player and started dancing for no reason also that conversation with the stranger on the roof felt like it was from a different franchise

cosmic minnow
#

fucking scared me shitless

stark lynx
#

When you win the firefight but get left with broken armor and weapons, epic style

frail spire
#

You don't to add anomalies, just let radiation as it is and see casuls get mad for not having vodka at hand

stark lynx
frail spire
#

when you win a firefight but use your last medkit while consuming vinka to keep the blood from gushing out

hushed current
# stark lynx Far cry is the last thing it seemed like

Well I guess it’s just me but it just felt out of place I guess it’s because most conversations in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Involve two people standing completely still talking not moving around this new game feels more cinematic

cosmic minnow
#

can't even find the video i saw such features in, i saw it many years ago

frail spire
#

Tip for free gear, just make a pack of dogs chase you near faction bases, wait a bit then collect gear and mutant parts

#

Ez

cosmic minnow
#

people are saying that because the game is on unreal engine, we won't have that many mods either

#

not sure what to think of that

stark lynx
#

Do you really want a game with 2 characters blanking looking at each other? The originals are good but they have their problems, let's not make a game with the same issues just because nostalgia

pseudo yoke
finite dragon
cosmic minnow
hushed current
cosmic minnow
#

but yeah the old engine had a really bad stuttering problem

finite dragon
frail spire
#

Staring at eachother was a nonissue since you were meant to read dialogue

i also was not amused that they separated the ability to play guitars at campfires as a expanded edition thing

frail spire
#

Imo voice acting for all actors isn't as good as it sounds, with voiceless characters you're free to write pages worth of dialogue

cosmic minnow
frail spire
#

With voiced characters it will deppend on how much money was spent on the VA's

stark lynx
#

I think I found a russian video in which the new faction is alluded to but I can't tell. But man does this guy go into detail lmao,way more than the dev breakdown

hushed current
#

It depends on the voice actors if you get a really good one it can change how you feel about a character making you feel as if there an actual person for examples there’s the final message in silent hill 2 and the master from fallout

frail spire
#

Also voiced characters lead to sections you have nothing to do but to hear the exposition

finite dragon
stark lynx
#

No subs so nope

finite dragon
cosmic minnow
#

reading isn't static by any means however, you imagine the voice in your head, as well as what is being described, voice acting can help get the point across, it can also trash it

stark lynx
#

I can kinda gather that the guys at the campfire aren't at rookie village but pripyat instead. He matched the building in the background with a real place in pripyat 🎷🗿

frail spire
#

I mean, I don't mind if a character is voiced to have reactions when you get near but as for actual exposition keep it text only so I can read all I want

deft rose
frail spire
#

And so I can avoid getting locked into a 10 minute rant inside a room

finite dragon
stark lynx
frail spire
#

So what the character will keep saying the same exposition over and over until you pick?

stark lynx
#

No,they should just stop

cosmic minnow
frail spire
#

Bottom line, keep people who enjoy being locked into long scripted scene of dialogue inside their cuckcages

deft rose
#

We can all agree though that making voiced npcs while balancing immersion will be a difficult task

frail spire
#

Give me my text wall that I can go over in ten seconds because I can read

stark lynx
#

Also russian vid is alluding to a new sawed off, he also saw a guy in the background at the campfire scenes

hushed current
#

I’ll post my voice acting examples in screens and videos for anyone interested

stark lynx
cosmic minnow
frail spire
#

get into agroprom
have to speed read before npcs gets gunned down
Not the smartest idea I give it to you

stark lynx
#

Or they could maybe make an option to keep it to read only or voiced as well

frail spire
#

Also iirc dialogue will not stop a firefight, either the npc or you can still get gunned while reading

#

You can usually see this when you're talking with an npc and a hostile entity comes in range and the window is closed automatically

cosmic minnow
#

not the dialogue stop the firefight, the firefight stop the dialogue.

#

yeah that

frail spire
#

Well yeah

hushed current
#

I feel they should take the fallout route of when your talking to an character the rest of the game freezes so nothing can interrupt dialogue

frail spire
#

I mean, if characters enter combat then you can't talk to them anyways

cosmic minnow
#

yeah but it was a fun aspect of the zone, to just be mid chat, and the dude gets shot in the head

frail spire
#

Also imo it would suck since being aware of your surroundings is a mechanic

#

If you missed the npc sneaking then you're absolutely at fault from getting shot

cosmic minnow
#

they sneak?

frail spire
#

Happened a lof of times to me, never blamed the game, always blamed myself for not paying attention

cosmic minnow
#

well i guess sometimes you just get shot, but others they yell while attacking

frail spire
#

No sneak per se but npcs barely make any noise if you're not aware of them

cosmic minnow
#

yeah, i remember in zaton seeing them notice me and spread out to cover, then proceed to shot me

frail spire
#

If you miss them mid-firefight while you kill someone else they can easily go around without you noticing sometimes

cosmic minnow
#

awlays liked that aspect

#

i also saw npc's using supressing fire

#

as in i had him pinned and he just ran to another cover spraying me

#

thats pretty clever

frail spire
#

So if you stay in one place for too long trying to catch someone getting out of cover the npc can just go around and shoot your ass as you stare down sights

cosmic minnow
#

it was in misery though, not sure vanilla does that

#

or grenade you

frail spire
#

I wonder if we will get actual neutral zones

#

Like, I remember reading that the boat in zaton and yanov station are used by all factions during emissions as neutral ground to find cover

pseudo yoke
#

So it looks like the monolith patch with the atoms around the head

#

Is canon

random vortex
#

It's pretty boring.

finite dragon
#

I had to do alot fo heavy customization and modding to make Anomaly fun

#

Up'd the payout for missions, decreased the prices for repairs and items so I am not paying 10000 ru for 4 bandages and a basic med kit

#

And lowered the agro range for AI because for some reason in Army Warehouse the Mercs that hang out north actually take incredibly accurate potshots at me when I crest the southern hill towards Bloodsucker Village

finite dragon
pseudo yoke
finite dragon
#

Also up'd the Artifact respawn rate because whenever I have the option to do a artifact hunt with default Anomaly I always pass them up because the rate at which artifacts spawn by default is awful, liteally spent 3 hours hunting down artifacts in Garbage, Cordon, Great Swamp and Darkscape (I hate Darkscape so much >:[ ) and I found 1 Jellyfish and a Anomalous Bread

finite dragon
#

@finite dragon Anyways do you have an issue where Psoglav crashes when you try to speak to him after the storyline Mortal Sin?

#

Haven't done the Mortal Sin quests yet since I often do alot of trail runs with new character to actucally test my settings

#

I think I will actucally get to in a century when I can actiung make Anomaly playable

toxic vector
#

anomaly is only fun when you play war zone mode

#

story mode always get old quickly and feel boring at next playthrough, only war zone makes the zone feel more living

stark lynx
#

I don't have warzone mode rn but there is constant warfare everywhere regardless

#

Should I do a merc playthrough

finite dragon
#

Good morning my snickers

worn drift
#

What is the early bird skin in pre order? Where can i see it?

toxic vector
wind saddle
frail spire
#

Merc is good but only if you start in dead city, do a few runs in the north part and literally kill like 30 monoliths in one go and enjoy free gear

frail spire
#

Bad side is that regardless where you start you'll need to do a long trip to turn off the machine at yantar if you ever want to just walk away from dead city

finite dragon
#

Merc is funny if you have a quest to murder some dude in the 100 rads bar

frail spire
#

God I hate those
"Kill some weedomer in the middle of their base"
"Kill the duty guy surrounded by every duty member at rostok"

#

Best way to do those quests is to disguise as some other faction, load up with an rpd or pekcheng and an rpg and have fun I guess

#

Reward won't even pay a fraction or the ammo you'll spend

#

Or just drop a c4 on his feet and try to get near the exit before it explodes

finite dragon
#

Thats why I upd the payout man

#

1000000 ru for bandages

frail spire
#

I just avoid those jobs unless they're in neutral areas or not inside bases

#

The most I usually do are straw purchases

#

Usually I try to get the ones with pistols since those are cheap and I usually do it for the rep reward

#

My usual way to get money is to butcher exo-wearing monolithians with the starter knife

#

If I get a nade while doing it even better yet since it'll make butchering them even easier

finite dragon
#

My usual way to start out is spawn with character ||spawn my loadout|| and then take some missions

frail spire
#

Booo

stark lynx
#

Stalker 2 map will be 64km^2

finite dragon
#

Ye it's gonna be big

stark lynx
#

Supposedly

finite dragon
frail spire
#

I would understand if you spawned a few bandages but cmmon

finite dragon
#

I feel great shame

#

Mini you I don't spawn a exo and guas rifle

#

I made a table and I roll a d10 to randomize it

frail spire
#

If I ever spawn stuff I keep it to hobo stuff like a mosin or a toz

finite dragon
#

Yeah that's what I do

frail spire
#

Nothing with more than 5 bullets with no semi/auto function

quick dune
#

shadow of chernobyl has got to be the hardest game right?

#

no upgrades, high hp bloodsuckers

#

no one shot kill pistols

frail spire
#

Kind of, mostly due to lack of mechanics you find later on other games

#

Eh... you can still oneshot npcs with pistols iirc

quick dune
#

at least the knife destroys boxes in one hit

finite dragon
#

1 is a start with a honorary pm
10 is a top sawn off and a ppsh41

#

I haven't landed on a ten yet

quick dune
finite dragon
#

No ammo spawns either only scavenging

quick dune
#

where you can go up to bandits and wipe them out in less than one minute

#

with only a pistol

frail spire
#

As long as you can oneshot with a bullet to the head it's a non issue

finite dragon
#

Yeah I made a table for random starts because I got bored of anomalies default load outs

#

Now I roll dice 3 times to find out what weapons, armor a mess I got

#

My run rn is that I have to start with literally no mess until I can afford the mil ru bandages that Sid sells

#

Meds *

quick dune
#

my only issue with clear sky is grenade spam and that my crosshair turned into two vertical lines

finite dragon
#

Grenades artistry in CS

#

Holy hell autocucumber really messed that one

finite dragon
rotund lance
#

the swamp apparently was 2x2km

finite dragon
#

I hope stalker 2 has a lot of mod potential

stark widget
#

It's gonna be open to modding from the start I think. Even if it isn't really Stalkeresque', I think modders will bring it closer to the true Stalker experience. That's my hope anyway.

finite dragon
#

I hope we will get guns

#

A lot of guns

stark widget
#

I worried it might be dumbed down in some ways. One of the best things about Stalker was the complete lack of hand holding etc. Maybe they have different gameplay modes, such as "original" etc..?

finite dragon
#

Yeah like

#

Stalker in the beginning was hard

#

And then

#

ASVAL for the win

stark widget
#

One of the things that keeps me coming back to it over and over is how difficult it is- it's such a finely calibrated game that always keeps you on your toes. I can't get enough of it...

finite dragon
#

Like you can't just rush

#

Sometimes you can

#

But like if you don't have meds you are f Ed

stark widget
#

Each time you have a session you always come out of it with so many stories to tell- it's like a story generator too, each with their own completely unique feel and drama. I can't think of any other game that provides that.

finite dragon
#

Yeah

#

Like I played CoC and I needed to go to cordon from zaton

stark widget
#

Here comes a story..! XD

#

I've got loads I'm trying to resist telling lol

finite dragon
#

I went to jupiter and found a freedom base I went there and got a few quests and made some money I had to go kill a few mutants and when I was going there I heard a lot of shooting went to check it out and found 15 or so zombies with a few bandit corpses so I went to kill the zombies and got a load of weapons I got everything back to a chest and went on with my adventure

stark widget
#

yeah man, stuff like that- it amazes me how much milage and depth they get out of all the locations, over and over.

native ibex
stark widget
#

I'm off now dude, nice to chat with you!

finite dragon
#

No like a lot of guns

native ibex
#

Hopefully mods can add real world firearms

Kool guns

Like the. Exe file is gone

#

The guy who asked swords being in the zone is probably a Middle Ages player kind thingamajig (bayonets can be released not swords, what is this the 18th century?)

#

Bayonets would make sense tho

finite dragon
#

Imma get my 5.56 nato gun with acgo silencer underbarrel AP rounds and bayonet

finite dragon
#

But yk what I would want in stalker

finite dragon
#

Smoke grenades

#

In campaign

#

Or flashbanfs

finite dragon
#

Flashbangs

#

Flashbang would be equivalent to a psy attack from a controller without the camera motion thingy

#

Nah

#

Flashbangs would just make you have one high peep camera shaking and white screen

finite dragon
#

That would also happen irl

finite dragon
#

You know the anabiotics in CoP right?

#

No longer then that

#

Nope

finite dragon
#

Just a medical item that makes you dead inside whilst retaining your human capabilities instead of being a zombie (in emissions, this item is useful)

Also, nobody here cares if your culture uses swear words. Our cultures use plenty of them as well yet we can manage to tone them down

Be sure to go through the main road back. Otherwise you'll get irradiated

finite dragon
#

#

Funny thing is i was planning to wipe the bandits of the garbage with the 4x scoped famas i found

A very huge disadvantage is that performance stills gets so horrible on the first 24 hour cycle of gameplay.To a point that i personally lose interest in continuing my playthrough.

It basically copies your game file

Not the whole file itself gets to be installed to leave the .rar or .7zip dead

#

i just extract everything

finite dragon

@thorny kernel Plus you were in the wrong channel, so expect a warning

I'm gonna make stalker lewd art
