#

hence they give everything to science, so they create methods to fight it

finite dragon
#

if im not wrong in the clear sky freedom work with scientists their leader told it for a mission (maybe cop)

#

but as many memes suggest, it's not doing a really large impact on the Zone overall but in 2-4 areas it works

tired anvil
#

Also

wispy walrus
#

not destroy it lol

tired anvil
#

Canonically speaking, hunting mutants is bad

#

Since canonically speaking that only makes more of them appear

#

So Duty does more damage to the Zone and everyone around it

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

Without coming close to reaching their own goal

royal kayak
#

You guys are arguing for no reason there is only one true faction .

finite dragon
#

Keeping their numbers down is fine

wispy walrus
#

dunno, at the same time more mutants will appear either way, so its preferable to kill them.

finite dragon
#

Moderator how can i get artifact hunter role ? i luv artifacts

oblique void
#

^^^

tired anvil
#

Sorry, it's impossible to get that role now

finite dragon
#

And quiet Rocc boi, we're using our brains here

#

nah its a joke go on

tired anvil

#

Killing them is literally what makes more spawn

finite dragon

Ah okay so good night Stalkers

I need more moneys for As Val.

Nothing private.

wispy walrus
#

Yes, but they might kill stalkers while they're there, its better to kill them, they might show up later sure, but you can just kill again later Sure_I_am

finite dragon
#

Anyone have an idea?

tired anvil

#

Hello there. I just got the game, and I'm looking for just a couple bits of advice. Starting difficulty, mainly.

tired anvil
daring nest
#

I can go to a different channel

tired anvil
#

That's the basics for you

finite dragon
#

Ei, mutants dont just pop out of thin air

wispy walrus
#

they PROBABLY breed, least boars, fleshes, dogs, etc, but their respawning how they do gameplaywise totally isn't a canon thing tho

tired anvil
#

I was speaking lore wise, not gameplay wise

finite dragon
tired anvil
wispy walrus
#

yeah snorks and stuff don't just poop into existence

daring nest
tired anvil
#

Oh god damn it

finite dragon
#

To be fair with all the snorks the 3 main characters killed in the games, they should be outright extinct already

daring nest
#

....uh

tired anvil
#

People really all for modding a game first try huh

finite dragon
#

But dont hesitate to bump it down to Rookie if you're in a tight spot

daring nest
#

Listen I just heard the game runs kinda bad. I didn't know people were going to have an issue with it

finite dragon
#

Because it teaches you to be careful

finite dragon
#

Mr Moderator do we have any music bot here? I want to listen Bandit Radio

wispy walrus
#

sometimes i ask myself what even are the snorks and how do they make sense in lore like suckers who are lab made or controllers, then I remember they became a thing due to an art contest.

finite dragon
daring nest
#

It has some optional files

tired anvil
daring nest
#

I didn't really enable any of them

#

Minus reducing the head bobbing

tired anvil
#

You don't need any mods for any of them either

#

Head bobbing can be done with the console iirc

finite dragon
#

Thank you ❤️

still ridge

It can

cam_inert 0.21

daring nest
#

Good to know!

#

But, I'll stick with master then

tired anvil
#

Good luck, the game won't hold your hand

still ridge
#

just bump it down if it’s too difficult

royal kayak
#

You guys want to see a joke ?

daring nest

I already know the game is hard as balls. I want a challenge

sseth

tired anvil
#

You mean play the game for 3 mins and ditch it?

daring nest
#

I never watched the sseth video

tired anvil
#

Good lmao

still ridge
#

and play CoC

finite dragon
#

nope

still ridge
#

literally

daring nest
#

His other videos were funny

still ridge
#

his stalker video is his worst one

finite dragon
#

Enter the Cordon

#

See the machinegun

#

Go back

#

Go to the entrance to thr north

daring nest
#

WAIT! I wanted the fame with Russian dub and English subs

#

Dang

finite dragon

No pain

Sseth's Stalker vídeo is the only one i couldnt finish lmao

What about Sseth?

#

Oh

Wow that sent late

It's not even that hard

Gman is a joke. He had trouble easier games and doom wads

#

With easier*

hushed aurora
tired anvil
#

Aye a fellow Gman enjoyer

finite dragon
#

Thren I went back with an SVD and left the entire place with corpses

daring nest
#

I don't like Gman

#

Civvie is better

tired anvil
#

Neither, but I'm an enjoyer of his stalker videos

#

The type where it's so bad that it's good, y'know?

hushed aurora
#

Civvie is infinite times better than Gman and thats a fact

mental river
#

Ngl

#

Nikolai is my favourite creator

finite dragon
#

Gman tends to start insulting games he doesnt bother to understand

mental river

his videos are funny

finite dragon

Really nice to be with you here Stalkers. Can i ask you guys where u come from

Soooooo not really my taste

mandalore's alright

Too bad I'm addicted to fallout lol

finite dragon
#

I go for Sseth for the Memes

hushed aurora

mental river

I stopped watching Charletion Wonder after his doom review

tired anvil
clever hazel

his pathologic videos were solid

finite dragon
#

Thrn Mandalore for an actual review

tired anvil
#

This was pretty good

#

Idk why I accidentally had a timestamp there but yea

hushed aurora
mental river
daring nest
#

Sseth is good for memes. Civvie is prime trash review and comedy, and Mandalore is like sseth if he wasn't autistic

hushed aurora
#

These things, i know them but never watched a single one

finite dragon
#

Yrh I like Sseth's chaotic passive-aggresive style

mental river
#

Sseth has shown me some of my now favourite games

#

Like Synthetic is god tier

finite dragon
#

Yep

tired anvil
finite dragon
#

Tho Hades was simply GOAT

mental river

i bought it after his review and had so much fun

finite dragon

try Hades

mental river
hushed aurora
tired anvil
#

The "fall" already happened

mental river
tired anvil
#

And they have a series about just the fall, and one about the rise, fall and rise again

finite dragon
#

Thank you Yahtzee

mental river
#

story is great gameplay is boring

tired anvil
#

So now it's only time for the 2nd rise 😎

mental river
clever hazel

it's been ten years since the last stalker game even if stalker 2 absolutely blows it'll do nothing to the series

mental river
tired anvil

Can't believe I agree with Boris on this tbh

it's the best possible case scenario

So yeee

it's like how no matter what bethesda does to its games morrowind still exists

Nicr for you to try it before judging it tho

I bought the game cause the gameplay looked fun

Crosscode is amazing

yet no one talks about it

EYE is either trash or a Masterpiece depending on the person

#

Its definitely not easy to get into

It just gets a meh from me

wispy walrus

eye is something

finite dragon
#

The writing is novel tier tho

hushed aurora

I got a brainwash from all the vídeo tutorial thingies

wispy walrus

so something they made a 40k game lel

I definitely support Fuller Auto tho

#

Game works fine. Do you guys usually use default controls? Pressing X to run seems awkwars

finite dragon

But I did put it on shift and removed toggle

#

In Anomaly at least

I wonder if I should bind double crouch to my mouse

finite dragon

I have those buttons on the side

Mouse 4 and 5

hmm

It'll be a bit awkward but go for it

It's your game now

Yep

Doesn't work looool

What is NIICHAZ again?

finite dragon
#

No idea

mental river
tired anvil
# pseudo yoke What is NIICHAZ again?

SIRCAA in English. Scientific institution (for) research (of the) Chernobyl Anomalous Area
Faction from the old S2 that seems to be something like better Ecologists, idk

pseudo yoke
#

thanks

finite dragon
# mental river whats eye

An unholy piece of jankware either from the Gods or from the depths of hell depending on your perspective

wispy walrus
#

weren't they basically

#

corrupt ecos

mental river
finite dragon
tired anvil
#

Not really?

mental river
#

looked up eye and all i found was a co op source game

finite dragon
#

Eye divine cybermancy

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

I remembered some stuff about them trying to rebuild the c-con tech, its been awhile since I read everything

mental river
hushed aurora
tired anvil
#

Well, keep in mind that the old S2 had like three stories

mental river
#

it looks both cursed and amazing

wispy walrus
#

yeahhhhh

pseudo yoke
finite dragon
#

It is both

wispy walrus
#

I know there was some key points that they were trying to collect xlab tech tho

pseudo yoke
#

I really like the S2 designs of suits and stuff

tired anvil
#

I'm trying to find old S2 ones

mental river
#

oh yeah

#

what was the whole SIRCAA thing about

finite dragon
#

We will be able to experience all those stories in the future

#

Thanks to modders

tired anvil
#

Well, I just wrote what it was

daring nest
#

Well that sucks. The game has english localization but I can't understand what the characters are saying

tired anvil
#

A faction from the old Stalker 2

pseudo yoke
mental river
finite dragon
#

I wanna see some characters from other countries in S2 but

daring nest
#

I suppose that's fair!

finite dragon
#

Yeh not likely to happen

pseudo yoke
#

There are plenty of characters from other countries

tired anvil
#

There's Belarusian people

mental river
#

one thing i hope is that we get more english modding teams for stalker 2

daring nest
#

I have a friend that knows russian

pseudo yoke
#

Ashot is from Armenia

finite dragon
mental river
#

cause it sucks all the mod overhauls i wanna play are still in russian

finite dragon
#

Just didnt know wtf a Bubble was first time I played

tired anvil
#

Vano is possibly Georgian

mental river
#

like the Valley of Wind

pseudo yoke
#

He looks it at least :^)

daring nest
#

Well I think it's more just like only essential characters speak english

finite dragon
#

Ah no I meant like others aside from Slavs

tired anvil
#

Can't argue with that lmao

daring nest
#

Random fuckos only speak russian

wispy walrus
#

lmao that reminds me, in NLC some of the traders in the north have their text in belarussian or something, so people were basically tearing their hair out translating it

daring nest
#

Or ukranian

tired anvil
finite dragon
#

Uhh yes

#

Sorry bout that

wispy walrus
#

it was a weird belarussian slang mixed with normal russian loooool

pseudo yoke
#

I dont think he knows how diverse the ussr actually was lol

mental river
tired anvil
#

Well

finite dragon
#

Armenia should stop playing victimkot

tired anvil
#

I'd rather not comment, if he loves his country, I'm happy for him

finite dragon
mental river
tired anvil
#

Yea that sounds about right

#

Anyway, found some of the 2010 S2 SIRCAA art

finite dragon
#

Ooooh thats cool

mental river
#

When i saw those the first thing that came to mind was the scientists from half life 1

finite dragon
#

do u guys know about stalker 2's duty role? is it effective?

finite dragon
#

Nah wont even think of it

tired anvil
#

Here's the base of the faction from 2010

finite dragon

new faction

mental river

Hm

finite dragon

o.O

Why is it so clean?

bandit reskin

tired anvil

#

He didn't mean Duty

#

ah okay 😄

mental river
#

i meant the SIRCAA base

tired anvil
mental river
#

crazy idea

finite dragon
#

You'd think a single RPG rocket would create one big clean hole there

wispy walrus
#

isn't it like strelok's institute

tired anvil
#

Strelok worked for the faction

wispy walrus
#

SIRCAA I mean

mental river
#

what if in the old concept we would be able to go outside the zone

tired anvil
#

You can see the name of the faction in his good ending in CoP

mental river
#

and go back in at points in the story maybe

tired anvil
mental river
#

hm interesting

#

i really need to play CS and CoP

tired anvil

Here's a sort of fan made trailer by it

▶ Play video
#

The person behind the trailer works at GSC now

mental river
#

only ever played SoC Vanilla

finite dragon
#

Expect suffering and quickload spam on both endings of the games

#

Actually all 3 games

#

The environment and assets were cool

mental river
civic fiber
#

Niiico lets go boooolink xD hehe nah its great video

pseudo yoke
#

Did you ever see the original soc trailer?

tired anvil
#

A lot of the things in the trailer are little bits of what's described in the game, whether it be events or lore. Some canon, some that got scrapped

mental river
#

Damn

#

Is there a deep dive video essay explaining all this

#

that would be a fantastic read

tired anvil
#

I could find you a video about the store of the old Stalker 2, yea

pseudo yoke
#

I dont know if Stalker 2 would have been good

tired anvil
mental river
#

thanks man

tired anvil
#

More leaks occur each day, but I think all in all it's good that it got scrapped

finite dragon
#

But cant focus if 50 monolth are shooting me with insta death weapons

daring nest
#

Hmm. I think I just wasted ammo

finite dragon
#

Even worse with mods so I finished them in Vanilla

tired anvil
#

Granted, according to the people who have access to it, X-Ray 2.0 was an extremely impressive engine, but as a whole, S2 was sort of dying from the inside

civic fiber
#

=/ Money money, politics ... also seeing vid with wrong aspect ratio on the scope pains my eyes xD

daring nest
#

Hey I have a question. What's the number on the minimap that goes up and down

finite dragon
#

Number of stalkers in the area

tired anvil
#

Most likely the number of NPCs around

finite dragon
#

Good and bad

daring nest
#

Oh I see

#

Thank you :D

finite dragon
#

If you see 5 yellow circles and a 9

#

4 baddies incoming

daring nest
#

I see

civic fiber
#

basically your PDA pings PDAs of everyone else, and that's how you see positions of other stalkers and arguably the bodies (gray dots)

tired anvil
#

It's like having bluetooth on on your phone and you see the devices near zak

finite dragon
#

I wonder how the rest of the world looks like in the universe

#

Is Macron still President?

#

lol

civic fiber
#

There was lots of S2 content that ended up in Suvarium, I wonder how they will handle that.

daring nest
#

Isn't the zone just one area in russia?

#

Ukraine*

#

Welp, just pissed off the ukranians

mental river
civic fiber
#

its in beta/early access for ages

tired anvil
#

Survarium has been public since 2014 or so

tired anvil
daring nest

XD

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

They're working with the PUBG devs now to make them a game mode or something I believe

#

Their programmers are also sort of leaving the team afaik

civic fiber
#

last year they even showed some trailer promissing I think some sort of solo mode? and as a nod they showed player having a bolt in his hand. I wrote to them that I am glad they acknowladged their roots .... comment got deleted I got kicked

finite dragon
#

Wtf

vague sundial
#

lmao

civic fiber
#

I meant nothing bad by it

tired anvil
#

Wonder if I can find it

civic fiber
tired anvil
#

It's legal, Sergiy gave them permission

civic fiber
#

AH ok

tired anvil
#

He sold the X-Ray 2.0 engine to them alongside assets they made

civic fiber
wispy walrus
#

wait, so are they using 2.0?

grand pendant
finite dragon
#

Wonder how much cars and motors Sergiy has at this point

grand pendant
tired anvil
#

No?

#

Thought they worked on the 2.0 engine, made a fork and rolled with it

#

Called it the Vostok Engine and called it a day

grand pendant
#

nvm i thought he was talking about gsc

#

yeah, vostok is definitely xray 2.0 fork

civic fiber
#

well same like 4A's metro engine (forgot the name) is heavily modified Xray atleast in Metro2033 it was

tired anvil
civic fiber
#

Aha thanks

wispy walrus
#

I think post 2033 they made a completely separate engine

pseudo rivet
#

It'll never happen

wispy walrus
#

2033 100% was xray based lel, it even had the shoc ak sfx in the files

finite dragon
civic fiber
#

Exactly

grand pendant
#

not only that but 2033 builds are clearly xray

finite dragon
#

maybe the Metro community knows this

tired anvil
#

Some do, some don't

#

Metro fanbase is a lot bigger after all

wispy walrus
#

least they just used it to propel the IP only, they made their own engine after the first game from what I know

#

so 4/5 are their own

civic fiber
#

Really? do they have airsoft parties with cosplays and people sneaking into real cherno (in their case real moscow metro?)

tired anvil
civic fiber
#

I'd say stalker has the largest, seeing the amount of mods and life

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

Okay let me re-phrase

finite dragon
#

The numbers say it all

tired anvil
#

Metro has the widest uhhh, global reach? Like more people know about it

wispy walrus
#

metro can't really be modded tho so

civic fiber
#

I think stalker fan base has a lot of sleepers all over the world

wispy walrus
#

well they managed to mod 2033 atleast

finite dragon
#

Stalker fan base is more..

#

intense

tired anvil
#

Metro also got a boost in popularity with the Epic drama a few years ago

pseudo rivet
#

I'd say divided

civic fiber
#

we have more memes that'S for sure

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

and wacky mods too

civic fiber
#

xD

vague sundial
tired anvil
#

Stalker subreddit bigger surprisingly, but Reddit is Reddit

pseudo yoke
#

Ew, reddit

tired anvil
#

Idk if Metro has a Discord or anything

wispy walrus
#

doubt

civic fiber
#

Well imo Metro is bit more for gamer normies, while STALKER is for players of culture. xD

finite dragon
#

Both are good

pseudo rivet
#

Metro has a Discord server

wispy walrus
#

i'd like metro more if it was like the books

#

there's more odd stuff in that

grand pendant
#

i'd like it more if it didn't crash on startup

daring nest
#

I tried playing Metro but my old PC couldn't handle it

#

Haven't played since

tired anvil
#

So it does

civic fiber
wispy walrus
#

that vaguely reference the Kremlin star in LL atleast

#

VAGUELY

#

saying the rangers burnt it down due to a bio weapon

finite dragon
#

cries harder at Exodus

#

hey can anyone tell me the difference between "xefis_movies.db" & "xger_movies.db" for call of pripyat?

tired anvil
#

So this server has 42k members and the Metro one has 8k

#

Interesting

wispy walrus
#

i'm kinda annoyed they never actually used that lol

civic fiber
wispy walrus
#

the plot for 2035 was WAY BETTER than exodus

#

and made sense

#

exodus was just escape to escape basically

civic fiber
#

I'm saving it xD - you see I was waiting a year for ME as Steam user that boycoted Epic Store xD

wispy walrus
#

i got it ordered before it cam off steam

tired anvil
wispy walrus
#

so i got it on epic release

#

lol

#

but steam

tired anvil
#

Which reminds me, I'm so happy that S2 has no Epic exclusivity

civic fiber
#

well Metro wasn'T either, till it suddenly was -_-

finite dragon
tired anvil
civic fiber
#

yep

wispy walrus
#

i actually bought their ultimate edition too

#

was pretty neat

#

get this

#

they ONLY

#

SOLD it as console packs

#

you could only buy the pc ver as digital

#

so I had to buy it twice lel

tired anvil
#

That doesn't sound very neat

wispy walrus
#

yeah

#

I was really mad about that, because it was a real pain

tired anvil
#

Can't you hook up Xbox games to PC though?

vague sundial
#

w8 you could buy the retail ultimate edition only on console?

wispy walrus
#

this was in like 2018 remember

wispy walrus
#

not s2

vague sundial
#

i was just about to cry

wispy walrus
#

basically from my understanding

#

they repacked all the pc ones, because epic didn't give printed cd codes

#

lmao

vague sundial
wispy walrus
#

you could get standard as a box, you could find the backs taped over to cover the steam box parts with epic info looool

#

it was so funny

civic fiber
#

Speaking of STALKER and Metro exodus I was quite surprised how much M:E WAS'T like stalker at all

wispy walrus
#

exodus was very very

#

cut

civic fiber
#

I expected from the trailer to get the STALKER itch scratched - nope

wispy walrus
#

watch the e3 trailer, the forest map was triple the size and was volga, the FIRST MAP back then

civic fiber
#

I don't even wanna know - makes me sad

wispy walrus
#

there's even dev stuff mentioning they originally had LL chars in, but cut them

civic fiber
#

damn

wispy walrus
#

imagine how much better if exodus had the crew be chars from the previous games instead of random guys

civic fiber
#

yeah and dark one as complanion xD

#

kid all grown up

#

xD

#

that coudl be bit too much tho

wispy walrus
#

still of the opinion 2035 would have made a better game

#

ended it with them leaving moscow as a "oh hey look there's MORE OUT THERE" then do spin off games across russia instead with new protags

#

instead of making them leave within 5 mins

finite dragon
#

4a games have more ppl that worked in the og stalkers than current gsc

civic fiber
#

I'm of the opinion that 2033 book would make better game. Underground openworld naturally limited by the Moscow metro system (what's left of it in the books) factions, deep phylosophy, supernatural elements, freaking lake of sentient dark fluid, amazing stuff and it'd work as a game.

wispy walrus
#

tho the games were really shy about even mentioning the unseen watchers and the worm cult stuff

#

or the kremlin star

civic fiber
tired anvil
barren lion
#

I enjoyed exodus but I think the third area with the forest was pretty disappointing and it should have been another big area instead of a very limited stealth area, right after that is the dead city which was awesome but then it's over

tired anvil
#

4A has went through a lot and GSC has original devs back

wispy walrus
#

one of the big things in 2033 was, not the air on the surface, but the fact a bunch of spots got hit by bio weapons

tired anvil
#

GSC has a lot more developers than 4A now as well I believe

#

Up to 4 times

civic fiber
#

I hope it will pan out this time xD I don'T even have to have vehicles like they were promissed in OL

#

(Oblivion LOst)

tired anvil
#

Vehicles were confirmed to not happen in the upcoming S2

vague sundial
#

the russian dub from metro was quite dissapointing in relation to stalker...

pseudo yoke
#

Tfw never ever

tired anvil
#

Dev team of that mod fell apart and re-united I think lmao

pseudo yoke
#

Lmao

tired anvil
#

Might've even been twice, not sure

civic fiber
#

I like the grass density

it has the OG wind effect on it

#

mmMMM - like Lost Alpha did that - I liked the grass there

wispy walrus
#

i've always felt the build terrain and flora look

#

looked dunno more natural

civic fiber
#

yesh ... they had proper blending

tired anvil

color of terrain was reflected by color of the grass sprites

people hated misery for its ww2 guns and my man asking for russian civil war guns

finite dragon
#

Bruh, Anomaly just sent me on a mission called "Attack on Titan"

civic fiber
#

xD

#

Yeah lots of mods just slap in STALKER things and references that have no place in there, It's like putting lowprofile chrome rims on old Lada Niva - like "what are you doing man?"

#

anyways Imma get horizontal - its late over here in czechistan o7 GN

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

meanwhile i get to warehouses in anomaly and realize the job of duty is now killing non canon abominations now

#

as i run in to damn

#

VAMPIRE bloodsucker mesh

finite dragon

Its not the anime part its just that it its not subtle in the slightest

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

WITH POINTY EARS

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

THESE ARENT EVEN FROM THAT

finite dragon
#

Literally a quest to kill a Puesdogiant called Attack on Titan

wispy walrus
#

THESE WERE ADDED BY ANOMALY themselves

finite dragon
#

i already finished Anomaly so yeh

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

y e s

hazy helm
#

yhea

finite dragon
#

Did it get a new update or something

wispy walrus
#

these were added in a patch after the lurkers and psy suckers

hazy helm
#

anomaly aint that good zak

finite dragon
#

I dont remember that

wispy walrus
#

yeah, they werent in until last patch

#

I did a whole run of it before the current patch and these WERENT a thing

hazy helm
#

the mods rife with stolen content

finite dragon
#

Its mods

#

What you expect

#

I mean look at Skyrim

hazy helm
#

still a stick in the mud

wispy walrus
#

meanwhile in arma 3 modding you'll get tarred and feathered for even using purchased models

bc you arent supposed to see a librarian on cordon

and shunned forever

finite dragon
finite dragon
#

Wtf happened to Anomaly

#

Imma stay in 1.5.1 for now...

hazy helm
#

anomaly basis is CoM with is rife with stolen content that doesnt fit

#

my problem wit stolen content is that it almost always doesnt fit

#

bc it wasnt made for the setting

finite dragon
#

back to Skyrim I guess

wispy walrus
#

I like dead air

#

it just tries to be stalker

#

and nothing more

finite dragon
#

turning Skyrim into Bloodborne is fun

wispy walrus
#

no added mutants

#

no weird HD models

finite dragon
#

I think the HD Models fit

wispy walrus
#

fun fact all the extra suits in anomaly are from a dead air suit mod, except a few extra they added themselves

finite dragon
#

They're just too clean

hazy helm
#

no not really

#

they dont

#

I mean some

#

but most dont

finite dragon
#

And the fancy suit HD models sometimes are just..

#

Bad

wispy walrus
#

I hate HD models because

#

they try too hard to look like stalker suits

finite dragon
#

Exo ones in particular

wispy walrus
#

s2 original had the right idea they made new suits that worked and looked real

finite dragon
#

the Mercs are

#

..

wispy walrus
#

instead of trying to make sum sunrise looking trash

finite dragon
#

Black Company?

wispy walrus
#

on a gorka

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

they're custom made

finite dragon
#

not trash i guess

wispy walrus
#

they just look WRONG

finite dragon
#

Well

wispy walrus
#

they're trying too hard to look "real" but also a sunrise

finite dragon
#

You could ask someone to model and mesh an actual HD sunrise suit

#

I think it'd be welcome

tired anvil
wispy walrus

it looks nice

I liked the bandits in the S2011

finite dragon
#

eiii when GSC said that the new faction is the one being shot at ala Far Cry 2 style, I can't help but shake the feeling that they're just a new group of bandits

tired anvil
#

We can only wait

finite dragon
#

pls dont be renegades 2.0

wispy walrus
#

they might be

#

s2 2011 had two bandit gangs if i remember

they all dressed different

I was looking forward to the "Science Expedition"

One absolute thing I hated about Anomaly

Is how all Mercs have the same relations

Oh dang it

I want the graphics of Anomaly and the 64 engine but on something like RTTN or Dark Road

absolute no to the new meshes though

What were they thinking with that helmet design?

finite dragon

Agreed

Choose carefully

wispy walrus

the helmet is the same helmet as the shoc mesh, just they made it less flat

that one

Not like these two, though

#

They're not careful at all

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

The top part of the helmet feels small

#

and uhhh are those filters at the mask part?

pseudo rivet
#

What else could they be?

glacial quartz
#

does anyone know if GSC confirmed a female character creation in Stalker 2? (for possible female players who wanna try S2)

tired anvil
#

No confirmation yet

pseudo rivet
#

NDA

finite dragon
#

Dunno for character creation

#

Modders I summon thee

pseudo rivet
#

Scarlet Flower moment, though

glacial quartz
#

Yeah, i am just wondering if they're gonna implement it or just miss the chance

#

Since i've been hyped quite a bit and my gf was interested in the game so, i wonder how many couples would try this game together and be forced to play as male-only characters out there

tired anvil
#

I feel like they hinted at it

#

Don't recall anymore

pseudo rivet
#

Scarlet Flower moment, though

glacial quartz
#

I've even seen female streamers hyped about stalker 2, i think it'd benefit their cause if they atleast implement a character creation of a female

#

like after finishing the game,

pseudo rivet
#

Okay, let's be real here

finite dragon
#

a few women here and there too, not too much works

pseudo rivet
#

We already know our protagonist

#

Skif

#

We can't become a female

finite dragon
#

Yeh its defo a guy

glacial quartz
#

yeah, that's why i said after finishing the game

finite dragon
#

by the power of mods

tired anvil
finite dragon
#

which dont exist yet

tired anvil
#

not now, nda

pseudo rivet
#

If they are, I'mma use my Scarlet Flower

glacial quartz
#

ah yeah, answered

grand pendant
#

maybe in the future

glacial quartz
#

thanks

pseudo rivet
#

You can count on that

lavish turtle
#

looks like

#

they added a dark one?

glacial quartz
#

i very much hope they implement it

lavish turtle
#

or am i mistaken

tired anvil
#

That's 2011

pseudo rivet
#

That's 2011

glacial quartz
#

oh and also

#

i just remembered if GSC implements female stalkers, modders are gonna dress them in anime skirts and faces...

#

XD

finite dragon
#

Those are mods

#

That's entirely different

glacial quartz
#

yeah but i mean

finite dragon
#

And something we have no control over

wispy walrus
#

no waman allowed

finite dragon

they are mods

no waman allowed

wat r u doing here duty boiie

finite dragon
#

okeee sirrr

glacial quartz

isnt it past ur bedtime

#

i just hate duty 💔

wispy walrus
#

but no, seriously

#

having women in stalker is gonna go bad

tired anvil
#

Eh

finite dragon
#

one in a science lab is just fine enough

glacial quartz
#

i don't think so if executed properly

random vortex
tired anvil
#

Not like it'll be the end of the world

wispy walrus
#

I don't think they'll have good writing honestly

glacial quartz
#

dude

#

we're talking about a game

#

let's not be overly ''manly''

finite dragon
#

Well

pseudo rivet
#

Scarlet Flower

#

All i'm gonna say

glacial quartz
#

it's merely a feature for more people to enjoy the game

pseudo rivet
#

"Enjoy"

#

Right

tired anvil
#

Just open the pre-orders already zak

finite dragon
#

There are also women who've fought in combat zones so ig it could be

#

Eh who cares

pseudo rivet
#

Plenty of people care

finite dragon
#

As if the end of the world will happen if women are in it or not

wispy walrus
#

long distance backpacking in a radioative trash heap is different from a warzone

glacial quartz
#

why would you care if it's a woman stalker or a man stalker you kill or befriend

finite dragon
#

I mean it'd be nice but I dont really think it's necessary

glacial quartz
#

it's a game and they have equal odds of survival

#

besides

#

i bet you feel like a woman in the labs

#

shivering in your sweaty pants

random vortex
finite dragon
#

yep

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

but I've decided to stop thinking about it because yeh it turns into a fullom debate

grand pendant
pseudo rivet

😳

random vortex

It just opens up a can of worms that I'm not sure if GSC is actually ready to tackle if they're playing it straight.

tired anvil
#

There is literally a rapist in the series

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

s2 2011 had them actually in a short numbers I believe, they had a good idea on it

#

the ONLY

pseudo rivet
#

Okay

wispy walrus
#

ONLY women were legal stalkers werent they, basically stalkers who roamed regions made safe by the army lel

pseudo rivet
#

So, about this whole rape thingy

#

First of all

#

Poker

finite dragon
#

Surrender is always harder for a woman

pseudo rivet

Secondly

#

No women

And C.

#

Illusions

But the most important one

#

Scarlet Flower

people lets just skip this topic altogether because yeh its just one big pile of worms, not a can anymore

#

Literally inside the Chernoybl NPP and Anomaly keeps crashing >:[

unless GSC says something, this is never gonna end

To hell with it I won't finish the story

Same topics, same controversies

pseudo rivet

Simply put

Anomaly looks nice but isn't the best

I just said how I don't want to 😔

wispy walrus

i remember basically having a stroke when they brought in a dead air suit addon's items and changed the high tier sevas to all be "Cs4s" made by clear sky for other factions and the M10 helmet into a "last day" combat helmet

#

in anomaly

hushed aurora
finite dragon
#

Anomaly's first storyline is basically SoC+CoP

#

Second one is fanfictiony

tired anvil
#

CoP freeplay. Take it or leave

wispy walrus
#

they really fixed up the suit lore last patch atleast

finite dragon
#

ISG is also fanfictiony

#

Idk about Operation Afterglow I've yet to get there

wispy walrus
#

the lore isnt enough to make me burst a blood vessel anymore

#

for suits

finite dragon
#

Hm yes

#

lol

#

The quests are my main gripe honestly

still ridge
#

It’s literally grind simulator 2021

finite dragon
#

They're very one-dimensional in nature

finite dragon
still ridge
#

Completely breaks the lore

finite dragon
#

And usually consist of going to X to kill someone, guarding eggheads, hostage rescue, delivery etc.

finite dragon
grand pendant
#

misery item bloat x600

finite dragon
#

They decided to add a lot of junk items for some reason

#

And why do I keep finding photo of woman?

#

Its dumb and repetitive

grand pendant
#

it's Leska

pseudo rivet
#

Because PDAs can't hold them, apparently

finite dragon
#

I've not tried out the Lost Transmission quests yet and idk what they entail but they might be slightly more creative?

#

Although still bad since from what I gather it's basically running around turning the frequency up or down

#

Then hoping you stumble on the correct pile of bodies

#

Worse yet its a main quest but ther eis only one option to reply with >:[

#

I did it

finite dragon
#

A bit meh

#

(I'm kidding)

#

Its a RPG I mena come on atleast write a arguement for me ot have ot find Item No62 for some rando

finite dragon
#

Why did Anomaly devs even implement those quests anyways

#

Are they supposed to be realistic or smth

still ridge
#

No

pseudo yoke
#

They're cool

wispy walrus
#

u know i look at the anomaly items icons, then compare a dead air fork(with added guns and suits) and go, "where did things go so wrong"

pseudo yoke
#

Better than endless fetch quests

finite dragon
#

I want to try Dead Air but isn't it just CoC but with better grpahics

#

At least in soup mods things have a purpose

wispy walrus
#

well dead air has a variety of forks, some have actual quest lines

finite dragon
#

Anomaly is nice

#

Not good

wispy walrus
#

with proper goals

finite dragon
#

But a bit nice

#

From what I've heard dead air solves misery item bloat somewhat and is actually better designed than Anomaly in many aspects

finite dragon
grand pendant
#

current Dead Air is very emtpy, yeah. But the most optimized mod so far

wispy walrus
#

im trying dead air revolution atm

#

it has taz guns

#

stash hunting quest lines, etc

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

its kinda more soupy questwise tho

grand pendant
#

tried DA Rev, have barely noticed a difference lmao

wispy walrus
#

its quite different from base dead air

grand pendant
#

a significant one, i meant

wispy walrus
#

its significantly different for sure

finite dragon
#

Where do I even download Dead Air

wispy walrus
#

its on uhh moddb, but they have some weird stuff with teir links

#

think they link a drive file instead

finite dragon
grand pendant
finite dragon
#

What about the dead air Anomaly merge

#

Iirc smth like that existed

wispy walrus
#

this is misery taz, not taz 3

#

so its ww2 guns and stuff, has a list in its desc

west girder
#

Been a while since I was in this discord

finite dragon
west girder
#

I see I no longer have my nickname or former roles. Rip

grand pendant
wispy walrus
#

dead air and anomaly have very different goals. Anomaly actually tried to copy some of dead air's features funny enough already, ones they teased for the next release

#

but that's kinda normal

finite dragon
#

Uhh

#

the only thing my sleep deprived brain is thinking of

#

is

#

Solyanka

#

Does dead air have annoying things like repacking magazines or item anamtions

wispy walrus
#

nah

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

well item anims can be disabled

grand pendant
#

it does have item anims

wispy walrus
#

its the ol' misery shrug shrug move stuff

finite dragon
#

I disabled them for Anomaly, literally pulling apart a random bandits mask would lock em in place for 5 seconds

wispy walrus
#

it doeshave ammo on belt, but but belts are like triple the size from cop's

#

so something like a 12 slot max

#

and AR ammo is 60 stack

#

so its not like annoying at all.

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

But yeah, i'd say take a browse of dead air's addons a lot of stuff is a taste thing

#

like stamina, its manageable, but some people get annoyed over it

#

like the uhhh

#

durability

#

certain gun parts can break by default

#

like ur fire selector

#

or your trigger

#

so yes you can flatout get stuck in a fire mode

#

or have a delayed trigger

grand pendant
#

that's a dead air rev thing right?

wispy walrus
#

nope its in vanilla dead air

#

a lot of "balance" mods people use turn it off

grand pendant
#

woah, i don't remember that at all

wispy walrus
#

they rarely mention they did either lol

finite dragon
#

That weapons parts breaking sounds incredibly annoying

wispy walrus
#

it is

finite dragon
#

Im using a baikal semi-automatic shotgun as my main weapon in CS and i regret nothing

wispy walrus
#

but, at the same time its kinda neat, you can clean specific parts tho, so its not like you're going to get stuck with a sticky trigger with no way to fix it but a full repair lol

daring nest
#

At what point does stalker get hard? So far its just kinda been a bit tactical

#

I kinda rely on the lean a lot, though

finite dragon
#

Compared to rifles the shotgun 1 shots humans while even the bandits can eat 5 6 rifle bullets easily

wispy walrus
#

stalker isn't really

#

"hard"

finite dragon
#

With upgrades the shotgun is also pretty accurate at most combat ranges

#

Do Boars still take 300 buckshots hits to be taking down like Anomaly, because for somereason all the freeplay mods except CoP think Boars are the most durable animals on the planet

#

The only bad thing about it is the lack of telescopic sights

wispy walrus
#

uhh I believe boars take like 2 buck to the butt, but like yeah dont try using a pistol

#

an aksu can pretty much one tape anyone below berill in dead air

#

BUT

#

ARs are hard to get early on outside a 50k pass to visit the army base

#

but yeah, the ARs are pretty darn deadly in it

finite dragon
#

@daring nest playing on master?

grand pendant
#

if you mean SoC

daring nest
#

I do, but alright

wispy walrus
#

so the AKSU is so viable I used it all the way to npp first time, the medium suits actually work too, they aren't going to let you die one shot like anomaly, so ps5ms are viable even

finite dragon
#

I think the first hard part may be the agroprom institute

#

Too many militaries and you get detected just after exiting the underground

#

@finite dragon In SoC?

#

Yea

#

Well i think most of the times you are exiting an underground facility and the military are there to greet you are hard

#

There are 2 exits in agroprom underground

finite dragon
#

Take the one with the stairs and keep going up

finite dragon
#

lol

pseudo yoke
wispy walrus
#

oh ye the nosronog is from the dead air armor pack, anomaly took it from there

#

and its actually LIKE GOD TIER in the original

finite dragon
#

Pretty sure in the novel, Empties and Full Empties are just random stuff

wispy walrus
#

you can tank chimeras

finite dragon
pseudo yoke
#

Is this just some advanced meme

finite dragon
#

Oh?

wispy walrus
#

but no i legit did my first dead air run in a pmk, ps5m and an aksu all the way to cnpp

finite dragon
#

I only found out about it my messing around and found out that with 4 stacks of carbon steel I could shrug off a direct RPG hit

#

Psp port of soc is pog

#

5 Full Empties just turn you into a god

#

Finding them is the hard part

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

but yeah, dead air is a pretty opinion thing, but there's still a lot of addons out there to customize it to your taste

finite dragon
#

and you're slow af
