"haev yuo kides zeen ZZ marg?"

finite dragon
south narwhal
#

its not exactly this mark, but it resembles it and he seems to do it on purpose, because of how he is amused by our reaction

marsh ocean
#

the Lightnings in ss mark is literally against eachother. as in not forming a outline for letter Z

#

but who cares about that when you can find small things to get offended by

finite dragon
#

Nice try

#

Nazi spy

south narwhal
#

who says we are offended, it looks like you want us to be

finite dragon

finite dragon

finite dragon
#

nyet

pseudo yoke
still ridge
#

LMAO

tired anvil
#

@midnight wagon think they mentioned that you'll be able to put on some of them on the go

marsh ocean
#

only said that if some russians were here they know to go to to the ru channel

timber violet
#

Okay, going to revisit all stalkers, any suggestions for mods? not looking for "difficulty" but more QoL mods and maybe more weapons and fun stuff

marsh ocean
#

well... maybe some more guns and graphical overhaul ones

#

to stay as close to original experience as possible

pseudo yoke
#

It's a good vanilla+ experience

timber violet
#

I mean ive beat the game a few times, asking if theres some that are most common\best ones

#

Im even thinking of removing weight system just to 'rush' it more

marsh ocean
#

#PlayAnomaly

#

:D

pseudo yoke
#

Don't play Anomaly

marsh ocean
#

only thing i liked in anomaly was that i had all the zones

finite dragon
#

Only thing I liked in anomaly was it's faction selection

stark lynx
#

This is the only discord that hates anomaly

marsh ocean
#

only couple loud mouths honestly

#

good thing im quiet and modest

#

Anomaly is an ok addition to play after you have played the original trilogy in order

tired anvil
stark lynx
#

Never seen any others

tired anvil
#

Every stalker server has people who like it and people who hate it

marsh ocean
#

People like to hate stuff. It's nothing new.

stark lynx
#

It good mod but I started playing AREA a lot more

marsh ocean
#

i just... REEAAAAALY want to get my hands on Stalker 2. play it trough 10 times just to wait some content addition mods and otehr overhauls n stuff

tired anvil
#

10 times huh

#

So possibly over a thousand hours

marsh ocean
#

gotta kill the time somehow

#

also that " name is confusing as heck

stark lynx
finite dragon
#

It's fun tho

stark lynx
#

i Have everything on max

#

Bandits keep appearing behind me somehow

finite dragon
#

Too bad I don't have a good rig

#

And yes

#

I started my Clear Sky run on AREA with a pistol

timber violet
#

anomaly is only for call of pripyat tho?

finite dragon
timber violet
#

wait so you dont even need the game?

warped silo
#

STALKER Anomaly is completely standalone, so you don't need the base game. Yes, it's free. Yes, it's worth your time.

finite dragon
#

But I still played it

finite dragon
finite dragon
#

Main story kinda bad

#

If you want to improve it, try installing LTTZ:DC

wispy walrus
finite dragon
#

DC just changes the storylines

#

and adds a new one

marsh ocean
#

You think someone will mod original trilogy storylines / quests to the Stalker 2's Unreal Engine ?

#

cause that would not surprise me

stark lynx
wispy walrus
finite dragon
#

DC adds dialogues

#

The first storyline doesn't change much

#

But the second one..

#

Go experience it yourself

#

Trust me

wispy walrus
#

uhuhh guess I will since I started a run with TAZ

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

for what, taz?

finite dragon
#

Yea

tired anvil
wispy walrus
#

I got the extra stripping script, the dmg addon and that's it

marsh ocean
wispy walrus
#

I quite like TAZ from the content perspective, don't like its ui or the suit icons they add, tho TAZ misery still was better and had amazing weapon distribution compared

tired anvil
tiny olive
#

What's the base damage value of electro anomaly? Even just as estimate?

wispy walrus
#

meanwhile taz 3 has a gun named m16a2, with an a2 icon, but its an m16a1 with 20 rounder as a model in reality kuznetsov

#

tho I can't blame TAZ 3 given the state of the development of it

finite dragon
#

Is the C M4 models in there

wispy walrus
#

TAZ 3 is kinda odd in the fact

#

it has like none of the same guns as TAZ misery

#

and its like they tried to restart and use new assets

finite dragon
#

Porting is a pain in the ass..
is it

wispy walrus
#

which kinda ruins the fun of using taz at all, I get why they did cuz they wanted to make pip guns

#

but taz is kinda boring when it doesn't have the stuff that makes taz fun

#

like vepr bullpups, integrated suppressor grozas, ar18s, fort 12s and 14s, etc

finite dragon
#

Yeee

wispy walrus
#

I liked taz misery for the fitting variety

#

i didn't have XM8s and stuff as main spawning guns, no it had a variety of civ level pump action, ww2 stuff, alt country aks

finite dragon
#

Taz or BaS for Anomaly?

#

TAZ kinda fun tho

#

Or idk vanilla?

#

As they includes an AK variant I liked

wispy walrus
#

taz misery is a lot cooler

#

they have east german aks

#

Tantals, AMD65s, etc

#

M70s

finite dragon
#

Sheesh

#

AMD really made AKs before

wispy walrus
finite dragon
#

Jk I know it's Hungarian

#

Also what country Tantals from

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

Tantals are 5.56 Polish AKs

finite dragon
#

Ahh

daring nest
#

Why would you sully Lord Kalashnikovs name with filthy nato chambering

dreamy holly
#

How do I get from novice to experienced in this Discord-server?

marsh ocean
#

spam !

dreamy holly
#

!

#

!

ivory plume
#

Is there any official word on the lack of a STALKER 2 co-op?

marsh ocean
#

im at level 8 or something... dunno what that means

ivory plume
#

It seems sort of weird to mention a multiplayer, but not a co-op

marsh ocean
dreamy holly
#

Co-op is multiplayer no?

ivory plume
#

Well multiplayer is generally considered PvP

marsh ocean
#

dark souls is multiplayer too... but. multiplayer is so wide subject

tired anvil
#

Coop = multiplayer|
Multiplayer /=/ coop

dreamy holly
#

Ah

marsh ocean
#

lol

#

bamboozled

ivory plume
#

Like how Battlefield has multiplayer

#

But not co-op

dreamy holly
#

It has coop

marsh ocean
#

yea... and gears of war is multiplayer

dreamy holly
#

Sort of

ivory plume
#

gears of war also has co-op'

#

It

marsh ocean
#

multiplayer can mean so many different for of ways to paly it really aint thelling much

ivory plume
#

It

#

Sorry, new keyboard. Key's are rearranged and I'm trying to get used to it lol

#

Multiplayer just means multiple players, so it could mean coop. But CoP had "multiplayer" but it was PvP

dreamy holly
#

Didn’t all stalker games have multiplayer?

#

Yay I’m level 2 now

ivory plume
#

But I think with Unreal Engine, even if it doesn't have coop coming out, it could be modded in quite easily

dreamy holly
#

True

#

I hope that it’ll be implemented some way or another

ivory plume
#

I'm not sure. I was very young when STALKER first came out and I played them. Loved them. Didn't touch the multiplayer if it had it, though

dreamy holly
#

I think even shoc had multiplayer

ivory plume
#

currently writing as I wait for an emission to blow over in Anomaly lol

dreamy holly
#

I knew it

ivory plume
#

It's sort of the same as Fallout in that sense. And I

#

'm not comparing STALKER to fallout

dreamy holly
#

It just wasn’t nearly as popular as the singleplayer

ivory plume
#

It's more a case of like "Why wouldn't you add coop in this?"'

dreamy holly
#

Yeah…

daring nest
#

Co-op in fallout wouldn't be nearly as fun as Stalker

#

The somewhat tactical gameplay and advanced movement would be wonderful

#

With friends

ivory plume
#

STALKER is Fallout for men

#

The idea of just traversing the zone with a friend is amazing

dreamy holly
#

Hell yeah brother

ivory plume
#

Get fucked by an anomaly and your friend has to give you some health from a scarce resource of medkits

marsh ocean
#

truuuuuue

ivory plume
#

maybe some Psy-drugs

marsh ocean
#

co-op would be like... cherry top of an cake

ivory plume
#

A proper stealth assault on a Bandit hideout as two people

dreamy holly
#

Both getting drunk on some vodka

ivory plume
#

IRL and ingame

dreamy holly
#

Near a campfire

#

Yes hahahha

ivory plume
#

I love drinking a bottle of wine when I play STALKER

#

Really get into character

#

I do vodka, but it gets me too drunk too fast

marsh ocean
#

Tho.... Like layered campfire "realms" where you can meet other player stalkers and trade stuff would be kinda neat

ivory plume
#

Yeah like hubs

marsh ocean
#

yeah that

#

hub

ivory plume
#

But like you ignite campfires yourself in your game

#

And then if other people ignited those same campfires

#

You can meet them there

marsh ocean
#

yea. and like in main town the Bars would be open hubs

ivory plume
#

Yeah

#

👌

#

Anybody here well-versed in Anomaly?

dreamy holly
#

Nope

ivory plume
#

nvm

#

Nonsensical information provided through mission contact

dreamy holly
#

To get the most immersive stalker experience you need to drink vodka whilst playing it

#

I still cannot preorder the retail edition of stalker 2 feels_bad_stalk

daring nest
#

Too bad I can't buy vodka yet

#

And my parents don't drink liquor

ivory plume
#

Don

#

Don't start out with vodka

#

It's gonna be too much too quick

#

Take it from me. Drinking age here is 16

#

Going straight into vodka is going to be a bad time

daring nest
#

Nah I know

#

The only time I drank it was in a house in the middle of nowhere in rural Michigan. My dad bought me a 6 pack of hard cider

#

And I drank 4 before I wanted to stop

#

I could have easily polished off the 6 pack

ivory plume
#

The drinking in STALKER is sort of meant as a statement about the world

#

You have to drink to the point where your brain shuts off and you don't care about the fact you're in an zone where everything tries to kill you and even going to sleep could mean you never wake up

#

So you drink and have fun until you pass out involuntarily and if you wake up, you know you get another 16-18 hours

#

Until you do the same thing again

#

Because you can't just "go to sleep" in the zone

daring nest
#

I thought drinking was just a way to get rid of radiation

#

Actually how does cheap vodka reduce radiation?

ivory plume
#

It doesn

#

Doesn't

#

Nor does cigarettes

#

IRL

daring nest
#

Oh I see

ivory plume
#

But I think the thinking is sort of

#

Radioactive isotopes in the body

#

If you drink a lot of vodka, as you know when you drink you have to pee a lot

#

So a lot of radioactive isotopes from your body is deposited into your waste

daring nest
#

Radiation destroys cells. Its energy

ivory plume
#

Yes

#

But the problem with radiation is primarily the fall out

#

It's why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are kind of "okay"

#

Compared to Chernobyl

pseudo yoke
#

Chernobyl is fine

daring nest
#

Oh by the way,there could possibly be a second explosion of chernobyl

#

Irl

ivory plume
#

It

tired anvil
#

That's overhyped news

ivory plume
#

Isn't really a second explosion

#

It

daring nest
#

Ah.

pseudo yoke
#

The dangers of radiation are extremely overhyped too

ivory plume
#

Is more like a "burst" of radiation

steel jewel
#

that would only work if you ingested something radioactive I think, except alcohol is prioritised by the liver, so it will actually delay the excretion of anything else, also there's been a study, in vitro mind you, where they combined alcohol and radiation and it actually increased the cell damage and stuff

tired anvil
#

A few reactions /=/ big explosions. They happen all the time

daring nest
#

Isn't it from water vapor in the sealed basement chambers?

ivory plume
#

Explosion on radioactive stuff = bad

#

Radioactive stuff doesn't cause explosions

tired anvil
#

Good thing everything is radioactive

steel jewel
#

explosions cause radioactive stuff

ivory plume
#

That

#

Is not true

steel jewel
#

except for the atom bomb

pseudo yoke
#

Why do you type like that

ivory plume
#

Explosions aren't inherently radioactive

steel jewel
#

I know

ivory plume
#

Because I recently got a new keyboard

#

And the enter key is different from my "¨'" key

steel jewel
#

Is it lit or boring?

ivory plume
#

So when I try to do "It's"

#

I sometimes hit the enter key

#

Because the enter key isn't L-shaped

tired anvil
#

Lmao, same

#

It's like the shift one except shorter

ivory plume
#

I literally got it today so I am still trying to get used to it

steel jewel
#

same

ivory plume
#

My apostrophe key

#

Is above my enter key now

#

Instead of next to it

tired anvil
#

\ this is the one above my enter key

steel jewel
#

\

#

same

ivory plume
#

'

#

Shift and non-shift above my enter key

#

So sometimes my muscle memory just goes "lmao yeet"

#

And hits enter

steel jewel
#

whats a nonshift

ivory plume
#

When I try to do apostrophe

#

It just means "the character it does when you don

#

't hold shit"'

steel jewel
#

lamo

#

lmao

#

why do you need a key for that just dont hold shift

ivory plume
#

My old keyboard shat itself in a weird way

#

I could only use bn on the bottom row of keys

#

But I could do like

#

ctrl alt delete fine, right

#

But the numpad and anything at the bottom row of characters but cn

#

Didn't register

#

Along with Enter

#

So I couldn't Ctrl C Ctrl V or anything

steel jewel
#

I don't have a numpad on this keyboard, somehow I didnt notice when I ordered it 😦

ivory plume
#

Muscle memory not working??

#

It

#

is like losing a finger

steel jewel
#

gotcha

ivory plume
#

Also not having a numpad is rookie moves

#

I ordered mine to make sure I had one

#

Where else do I put all the esoteric binds?

steel jewel
#

I just sortof assumed it'd have one, never seen one without it before so

#

learned the hard way

ivory plume
#

Yeah never assume. For some reason a lot of places build keyboards without a numpad

#

And I assume you went for a cheap one?

#

Which is what I did

#

And I assume there is an amount of money to be saved from not having a numpad

#

Because it

#

is like 1/4th of the keyboard you don't have to build

native ibex
#

Hey guys

#

How are the Vanilla enthusiasts today

ivory plume
#

Don

#

Don't know 'em

#

Do they still think Anomaly isn't superior?

native ibex
#

Well, that's one way to put ut

#

They usually think they should put Anomaly fans in special camps where they never return from

ivory plume
#

Ah

#

So they

#

Are afraid of "hardcore" stalker?

native ibex
#

They are afraid of change

#

They are all 30 year old boomers

ivory plume
#

I mean I

#

am 26

#

Sorry I got a new keyboard where my enter is smaller and right below the ' button

#

So I tend to press enter before I want to

#

'

#

As a die-hard STALKER fan, I honestly believe Anomaly is the experience

native ibex
#

Digital keyboard is sexist. Keys only large enough for ladyfingers

ivory plume
#

I

#

Will adjust

#

Just gonna take me like 2 days

#

Got it this morinig

#

Morning

native ibex
#

For computer?

ivory plume
#

Like 4 hours ago

#

Yeah

native ibex
#

I wonder if there is a real equivalent to Darkscape

#

With those giant trees

ivory plume
#

In what sense?

native ibex
#

You know

#

Big forest area with a bridge and a long road

#

With a lot of space

ivory plume
#

Yeah but what do you mean by "real equivalent"?

native ibex
#

Real world location in chernobyl that looks very close to it

ivory plume
#

You can find the "location"

#

But you have to remember that you exist in a time and space where the zone has been weirding out

#

For a while

#

So things have had to be changed

#

Factions occupied opposite sides of bridges, so one side decided to blow the bridge etc,

native ibex
#

I think they completely made Darkscape up

Have you played the vanilla games yet?

dire citrus

finite dragon

You download the thing from moddb unpack an start the exe, thats basically it

#

Anomaly is standalone

dire citrus

finite dragon
#

It is a standalaone mod, no basegame required

I wasted my fucking time

You're welcome, stalker

dire citrus

I thank you\

stark lynx

That to

finite dragon
#

Thats a car brand

native ibex

Is that some kind of fancy kielbasa

finite dragon

Koenigsegg

Just google it

Its a very expensive luxury super car

native ibex
#

Never really got into cars

finite dragon
#

He should get an ural truck like from stalker

wispy walrus
#

tbh

native ibex
#

Why buy fancy car when you can buy a small armory of highly modified firearms of questionable legality

finite dragon
#

Just get a 60s Lada and turn it into a sleeper

wispy walrus
#

he should just buy the irl zone and turn it into a sports car track

native ibex
#

Giant paintball zone

finite dragon

The whole zone should be like a battle royale airsoft

i love being born on national weed day (in the states at least), the day of the columbine sooting, and sharing a birthday with hitler

tired anvil
#

Pretty eventful day

finite dragon
#

That last one

#

🥲

limpid ruin
#

ikr

finite dragon
#

Yk my great grand father was a nazi

limpid ruin
#

my great grandfather served for the U.S. in WWII

finite dragon
#

Lmao

#

He served at the east front

Poor bastard

native ibex
#

Wow

#

SSD's are

#

Really small

pseudo yoke
#

Yeah

#

NVME are even smaller

native ibex
#

Woulda bought one, but

#

Then I'd be dealing with getting a new mobo

#

hey was wondering any mods i should use for my replaying of the vanilla trilogy

#

any good overhaul mods to make playing the base game fun or should i stick with vanilla?

robust forge
#

Well

#

If you're replaying it

#

Why not spice it up a bit with extension mods

#

OGSR, OLR or LADC

mental river
#

but for which game

#

im replaying all 3

robust forge
#

All three do pretty much the same thing, each excelling in different area

#

They're all for ShoC

#

CS doesn't have that many mods

#

And mods for CoP are mostly below average

#

I mean

#

Hell

mental river
#

isnt gunslinger good tho?

robust forge
#

To still keep the old story and whatnot, I can only recommend Gunslinger

#

Yeah

mental river
#

pog

#

also is autumn aurora still good or nah?

robust forge
#

Depends if you're one of those people who call a monochrome image smeared in feces as atmospheric

mental river
#

wdym?

#

i remember aurora being pretty good last i played it

robust forge
#

Well

#

It turns everything into shades of gray and brown

scarlet oracle
#

You guys got some mods I can use to get SoC running at 2560x1080 without the stretched hud

robust forge
#

Nope

mental river
#

wait thats a thing?

scarlet oracle
#

What the stretched hud or the wide screen res

mental river
#

both

#

I have a 2k monitor

scarlet oracle
#

the wide screen res is native and the stretched hud is a thorn in my ass

mental river
#

yeah tbh

#

i might just watch a playthrough online and play cs and cop

#

as those are the ones i already own

#

was gonna get soc on sale but now idk

scarlet oracle
#

There's prob some mods to fix it

#

worst comes to worst just run it at 16:9

mental river
#

yeah

#

only wanting to play through the games cause i beat soc and never played cs or cop

#

but like the story for those games is good right?

robust forge
#

Story isn't groundbreaking

#

But it's enough to keep playing

mental river
#

that doesnt incite confidence

robust forge
#

Stalker was always more about atmosphere and lore imo

#

And the story... Each is good but flawed in its own way

mental river
#

ik that part

#

ive read up on most of if not all the lore

robust forge
#

For example Clear Sky's story contradicts the core mechanics

#

Somewhat like in Cyberpunk 2077

#

Where it implies that you're in a rush

mental river
#

might just play em vanilla and hope for the best

robust forge
#

But you can chill around, play with faction stuff

#

Well

#

Haven't you played vanilla before?

#

I thought that you did

mental river
#

no ive played soc vanilla

#

never got around to actually playing through cs and cop

#

thats why i might just play the games vanilla and say owell

robust forge
#

Oh

#

Play them vanilla first

#

And unless CS really breaks down, try to not use any fixes

mental river
#

yeah i know the jank scares me abit

pseudo yoke
#

1440p gang rise up

robust forge
#

Tbh it's not janky

mental river
robust forge
#

Idk why stalker got the staple of jankiness

#

Maybe because of CoC

mental river
robust forge
#

Which really played a part on the AI

#

In ShoC I didn't really experience some major hickups from the AI

mental river
#

I just remember the beginning being kinda weird

#

also bandits taking way to many shots to the head

robust forge
#

Wdym

#

They always go down in one headshot from the PMm

mental river
#

not on higher difficulty

tired anvil
#

False

robust forge
#

I played on master

tired anvil
#

I played CS today, they do roflan

#

PMm Run

robust forge
#

My man

#

🤝

tired anvil
#

🤝

mental river
#

its been awhile since i played soc so idk

#

played that game back in 2013

wispy walrus
#

i'm late, but i'd suggest uhh Shoc: OGSE 0.6.9.2 maybe, CS: OGSM and prob gunslinger or something for cop, ABR is kinda nice too from what I remember.

finite dragon
#

I am currently playing Clear Sky with the complete mod and I am enjoying it

#

It has def made it a causal friendly game tho

wispy walrus
#

ogsm is a pretty good

#

CS expanded, it adds all the suits to every faction

#

has sum special guns as hidden items, etc

#

but its mainly vanilla

finite dragon
#

Whats the best soup mod thonk

wispy walrus
#

think op2 is still

#

but their next ver will be x64 bit

finite dragon
#

I was gonna grab NS2/STALKERSOUP but my God the bugs I saw

wispy walrus
#

a lot of the general issues with op2 is the x32 bit

#

the engine just can't handle some of it

finite dragon
#

Vanilla cs is a lot more janky than soc

#

Mods mandatory for that gamekot

wispy walrus
#

mainly some of the late game mutant horde missions

pseudo yoke
#

Everytime I get a ping

#

I think its GSC telling me I can give them 450$

finite dragon
#

Do it

#

Gib them money

pseudo yoke
#

I would if theyd let me

#

but no

tired anvil
#

Muh few days are hitting hard

pseudo yoke
#

they are

#

I want the statue

finite dragon
#

suggest a fun game i feel bored from playing anything send help

pseudo yoke
#

Shadow of Chernobyl

finite dragon
#

passed it 4 times

#

feels boring

#

i moved on to the vibing phase just listening to music now

pseudo yoke
#

Ok

#

Clear Sky

finite dragon
#

#

#

tired anvil

finite dragon
wispy walrus

Im going to limansk teeth

#

Time to end this teeth

vast sundial
#

good luck

daring nest
#

So I have a question, what is that mutant that makes a ringing noise and then causes massive bleeding and damage

#

It like zooms in on them

finite dragon
#

Its a controller

#

Gou have to rush him, he doesn't have a melee attack

pseudo yoke
#

Hes your best friend

#

dont shoot him

hazy helm
#

controllers have melee attacks

pseudo yoke
#

Not in SoC

hazy helm
#

ha

#

hes playing SoC

pseudo yoke
#

best stalker game

hazy helm
#

yes

#

yes it is

daring nest
#

Its fun, but okay

#

Should I throw a grenade as I run towards him?

pseudo yoke
#

ok

daring nest
#

I type without thinking

#

I like the game

#

Its a good game

pseudo yoke
daring nest
#

Oh boy, so after I get out of the sewer after agropom, I still have to gram the military documents

pseudo rivet
#

You should be able to do it without the Military ever seeing you

pseudo yoke
#

^

#

Its easy

daring nest
#

but the military is there?

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

daring nest
#

Oh stealth

#

Thats fun

pseudo rivet
#

It'll be a bit of trial and error

#

But it's possible

daring nest
#

Yeah I figured. I can do stealth, but it isn't my favorite

#

But it makes sense

pseudo rivet
#

But you can also go in guns blazing

pseudo yoke
#

If you do, youll get a ton of weapons and ammo

pseudo rivet
#

Maybe sneak in and leave guns blazing

#

If you do, youll get a ton of weapons and ammo

daring nest
#

It isn't worth my sanity

pseudo rivet
#

So it's up to you

daring nest
#

I'm already at max capacity right now

feral bronze
#

So when can we preorder the ultimate physical edition?

pseudo yoke
#

Never

#

Everytime you ask

pseudo rivet
#

We can already pre-order

feral bronze
#

? Website doesn't give any prompt to purchase it

pseudo yoke
#

Sergiy drinks 2 gallons of pepsi and delays the release

pseudo rivet
#

It's also possible on Steam

feral bronze
#

I don't want a digital copy lol.

#

I want ultimate $340 one haha

pseudo rivet
#

Ah, kek

#

Then yeah, I guess you'll have to wait

feral bronze
pseudo rivet
#

Aye

hazy helm
#

I might just pre order the ultimate digital

pseudo rivet
#

GSC can be a bit slow at times

hazy helm
#

easier on the pockets

feral bronze
#

I just dropped $300 on the dying light collector edition. Going to get the STALKER 2 one as well

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

True

tired anvil
#

Damn bro

hazy helm
#

that sure is cash to spend

tired anvil
#

What's the Dying Light one got?

feral bronze
pseudo rivet
#

Doesn't it just have one statue?

daring nest
#

Oh that's neat. You can disable the alarm

pseudo rivet
#

Like, nothing else?

daring nest
#

Should make everything easier

tired anvil
#

More lamps, nice smile_scar

pseudo rivet
#

And a map

#

Neat

tired anvil
#

S2 seems to be having a better deal here

feral bronze
#

It's so nice

#

But yeah S2 is better deal

pseudo rivet
#

300 is a lot for that, tbh

tired anvil
#

I can imagine, but damm, 300

feral bronze
#

I got refund lmao

#

The one with the even bigger diorama statue was $600 here like wtf

pseudo rivet
#

Those things are usually way too expensive and not worth it most of the time

#

I don't really bother with pre-orders or the big collections

#

It's a lot of money

tired anvil
#

Speaking of, do you think the S2 one pays of if the backpack and lamp don't die after a week?

feral bronze
#

CP2077 collector edition statue was amazing.

Also the one for Ghost of Tsushima.

I usually only buy them for games I really love though.

Stalker 2 definitely is best value.

tired anvil
#

You seem to love a decent amount of games

#

All I really got for favourites is Stalker and Tetris

feral bronze
#

I have about 15 collector editions total.

tired anvil
#

God damn

feral bronze
#

Most are unopened, worth 2x+ their original price to collector's now

tired anvil
#

So you're going to re-sell them or just collect them?

feral bronze
#

I sold a ghost of Tsushima collector edition for $750 two weeks ago. I bought 2 at release

#

Yeah I resell

#

I keep some

#

Only ones I really like.

#

I will be keeping Stalker 2 one

tired anvil
#

Only buying one of S2, right?

feral bronze
#

Yep

#

Since it'll be like $500 AUD my currency

#

I ain't dropping 1k

#

Not when others deserve to get it too as well

tired anvil
#

Aye

#

A lot are scared about that

#

It selling out too fast

feral bronze
#

I usually just buy 1 before release AND if there is excess stock still available after release.

#

I buy then

#

Which I think is fair

#

Not too scalpy

pseudo yoke
#

I want to buy two Ultimate editions

tired anvil
#

One to open and one to sit?

feral bronze
#

It's only side hussle anyway I don't make living off this. Just pay for our holidays n stuff with profits

pseudo yoke
feral bronze
#

I will not be surprised if some scalpers buy up most of the ultimate editions

pseudo yoke
#

Theyve said everyone will have a chance to get one

feral bronze
#

That's nice of them

pseudo yoke
#

So it makes me believe that theyll make as many as are ordered during a certain period

#

340$ is a lot of money for most people

feral bronze
pseudo yoke
#

especially during covid

feral bronze
#

Limited collector edition is nice sometimes but for something big like this...

#

People deserve to be able to get it if they can afford

tired anvil
feral bronze
#

I hope everyone can get their collector or ultimate or whatever

#

All stalker fans deserve

#

❤️

pseudo yoke
tired anvil
#

Tbf a lot of them can't afford a PC to play S2 on as well

#

So it's a bit of a gamble

pseudo yoke
#

And while I am very tired of tourists and others trying to turn stalker into anomaly or Tarkov

#

Most people who are regulars, here at least

#

Have been playing for years

#

Stalker was my first PC game

#

And it's a really important part of my life

tired anvil
#

A decent amount are saving up for a pc over S2 which I think is pretty cool

pseudo yoke
#

Yeah

#

There's a theory on vg that GSC is making the game so intensive to boost hardware sales

feral bronze
pseudo yoke
#

I'm sure its a joke but

#

Well, not even Exodus required specs that high

tired anvil
#

There's a theory that the 2011 S2 leaks recently were also to build some more hype

pseudo yoke
#

And that's a very good looking game

pseudo yoke
#

The exosuits look good

tired anvil
#

Well, some models look similar

#

And SIRCAA is confirmed

pseudo yoke
tired anvil
#

Lmfao

#

Personally not a huge fan of it

#

I like the other models and arts more

pseudo yoke
#

Fair enough

#

Honestly, for all the ripping I do on Tarkov

feral bronze
#

Honestly I'm happy as long as they've incorporated the A-Life scripts into the new engine.

pseudo yoke
#

I believe we'll see a Stalker mod for SPTarkov within a decade

daring nest
#

What's wrong with Escape From Tarkov?

#

Not saying I like it, but whats the deal

pseudo yoke
#

Llol

pseudo rivet
#

It not being STALKER

pseudo yoke
#

Nikita is a fatty who would rather smoke Hookah and shoot his dumb .366 TKM rifles than manage his company

finite dragon
pseudo yoke
#

We've been waiting 5 years for stuff they've been promising "It weel be in next patch da"

#

the AI is horrible

tired anvil
pseudo yoke
#

the tldr is its an amazing concept

#

that fails in every aspect it tries to do

#

The only thing its good at is gun porn and immersion and unfortunately that isnt enough to carry the game after 3400h

#

Oh

#

and Music

#

He makes good music

tired anvil
#

Speaking of music, I think I saw you asking about MoozE recently. No, he isn't involved

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

Well, it's already better zak

feral bronze
#

Tarkov is trash

pseudo yoke
pseudo rivet
#

Nobody dares to make a game better than the STALKER trilogy

pseudo yoke
#

SoC came out in 2007

#

BSG had 8 years to make a game that could rival it

#

and failed

tired anvil
#

Many tried, pretty much all failed

finite dragon
# tired anvil Well, it's already better <:zak:743754731381325916>

i heared promisses from battlefiel 4 from battlefield 5 from battlefield 1 also from cyberpunk and other games before. i saw the preorder for stalker 2... about 1 year in the future. how can i trust the devs of stalker ot be great? i dont belive and i dont preorder even i am a huge stalker fan

tired anvil
#

GSC both hit the jackpot and nailed it

pseudo rivet
#

Simple

#

Don't trust them

pseudo rivet
#

Heck, trust nobody

pseudo yoke
#

Not even yourself

still ridge
#

Be a big enough fan of the series not to care if it’s bad

tired anvil
#

You can be blind and accept it if it's a mess. Or wait to find out

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

In the end, nobody is forcing you

#

I know I'm blind though

pseudo rivet
#

Me am no

finite dragon
#

i will wait till its on sellout like other games. i am so disappointed of the game studios since years..... 😦

tired anvil
#

That's fair

pseudo rivet
#

Fair

pseudo yoke
#

I know that no matter how bad S2 is

#

I will play it

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

pseudo yoke
#

I will still be a fan

feral bronze
#

Yep

pseudo rivet
#

Yesn't

pseudo yoke
#

But I will go to Kiev and steal Sergiy's pepsi

pseudo rivet
#

Donate Pepsi instead

#

Be a chad

tired anvil
#

It sealed the deal for me when it was confirmed to not be any store exclusive

finite dragon
#

no matter if it have a hard start i will buy stalker 2 but i will not preorder it. i learned from ym last games.... LIKE ANTHEM

pseudo rivet
#

Still a bit too fanfic-y for me

pseudo yoke
tired anvil
#

S2

pseudo yoke
#

Ah

#

I have a hard time believing its real honestly

tired anvil
#

You think they might be going for the dream/illusion path again?

pseudo rivet
#

X

finite dragon
#

Gsc has a track record on releasing bug ridden games kot

pseudo yoke
#

So?

#

Jank is good

limpid ruin
#

reason im pre ordering is because it has promise (at least in my opinion), and i dont want a situation like with Fallout: NV were its a huge regret not having the collectors stuff

tired anvil
#

Doesn't stop me from exploring them drink

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

Vanilla CS almost unplayable if you want to side with the bandits for example

tired anvil
#

Oh frick off

pseudo rivet
#

Tfw what mods do you use

pseudo yoke
#

Well thats what you get for siding with bandits :^)

finite dragon
#

i would not mind a game which comes out in a buggy state when they quickly fix anything withing 1 month and not like other games within 6 montsh or more...

tired anvil
#

Tfw he launched CS for the first time like less than a week ago

#

And it was w mods

pseudo yoke
#

Did he?

tired anvil
#

Psure yea

pseudo yoke
pseudo rivet
#

CS is still the most stable game in the series

tired anvil
pseudo yoke
#

I dont believe that honestly

feral bronze
#

I will easy get more than 100hrs

pseudo yoke
#

I think GSC is promising way more than they can deliver

tired anvil
#

I mean

pseudo rivet
#

GSC isn't promising enough

tired anvil
#

In a way you can call bs

#

In another way, trilogy is worth thousands of hours

pseudo yoke
#

Sergiy did it with Shadow of Chernobyl

feral bronze
#

I don't think they are over promising

finite dragon
pseudo rivet
#

Again

#

Don't use mods

feral bronze
#

Yep

#

Vanilla shoc ftw

finite dragon
#

Lust for mods So_Good

pseudo rivet
#

#

I am replaying SoC with Memories of the Zone

daring nest
#

When you try to make a joke and get server muted because swear wurds bad

pseudo yoke
#

Then I am going to uninstall Clear Sky

finite dragon
#

i loveds mods when they were just cosmetic but when they started to get into gameplay or economic it suxx

pseudo yoke
#

Because

pseudo rivet
#

Eh, pretty sure we're legit gatekeepers already, just that nobody called us that

finite dragon
#

CENSORSHIP kot

daring nest

The only mod I installed were bug fixes

pseudo yoke

he deletes it

#

Mods cant handle the truth

Nah man, we're just gatekeepin'

does STALKER 2 have a online mode????

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

pseudo yoke

It will

#

I hope its just coop

And exclusive Battle Royale mode for people who like mods
