Actually, they NDA'd which they're using

tired anvil
Assuming that by backing you mean funding, what's up with everyone saying that. Speaking officially, GSC has mentioned that it's self funded and that Microsoft is nothing more than a cooperator as far as Xbox/advertising goes with it, not like it's been selling games and books for 25 years on top of the CEO being rich. Yet everyone for some reason writes like they are bankrupt and the only reason that S2 is happening is because of Microsoft 🤔

I'd assume they'd have to have some decent backing to be able to make a game, of the scope the trailers have portrayed, but then again I really don't know anything about the development of the game, I only joined this server to figure out how to get the OG series to accept encoded videos

Nah just played with the mods that fixed bugs
tired anvil
Well, regardless. Cyberpunk started being worked on in like 2016/2017 and released in 2020. So at best it was around 4 years of dev time and half a year of fixes now for it to still be a mess. S2 was announced in 2018, the release of which is set almost exactly 4 years after the announcement + confirmed dev time before the announcement
finite dragon
Nah just played with the mods that fixed bugs
The anomalies are not gonna be fix(ed)
tired anvil
So S2 already has at least 4 years where as Cyberpunk is questioned to have 3 or 4
finite dragon
Then why were they buggy?
My vanilla playthroughs were fairly buggy but not as buggy with mods
Should have clarified that my bad
finite dragon
Wdym?
pseudo rivet
Well, some people experience things others don't
finite dragon
Ah right gotcha
pseudo rivet
Bugs being the most notable thing
tired anvil
Some call the games a buggy mess, some complete them without any bugs multiple times
I'm part of the latter
pseudo rivet
Like, for me, CS is the most stable game in the series

I had no major issues with 2077

It's the rDNA gen 1 series (new architecture), the RX 5500 is the lowest spec model, with the XT notation indicating a slight performance buff with memory and core clocks

finite dragon
Yes, thats why I am a bit confused that the task is not updating. Went back to the bunker, I cannot solve the task
tired anvil
The body that you found it on was Ghost, right?
tired anvil
Did you fight a Controller
finite dragon
Nipe
tired anvil
Then yea, you didn't find the suit yet
finite dragon
The guy was already dead, lying outside the lab entrance
I figured the suit was more worthwhile than the usual task rewards and moved on
Thx for reply

@finite dragon keep that suit, bring it to the army warehouses and if you are cool with freedom you'll eventually get a quest related to it

Why can't I play area <:Hide:677033286983352340>
Idk wot ur prob is mine doesn't crash at all really
stark lynx
It loads when I reload saves sometimes
stark lynx
It loads when I reload saves sometimes
And sometimes it crashes
wispy walrus
That's just standard quicksave instability probably, guessing you're using quicksaves it tends to do out of memory errors just like autosaves
finite dragon
i dnno my mom talks about that with the neighbour a lot
Dang
stark lynx
I am indeed
finite dragon
But why would u like it with a bloodsucker
finite dragon
Also how 2 get exosuit asap in this mod
U buy it
wispy walrus
That's just the engine being the engine honestly
stark lynx
No one is selling me anything
wispy walrus
You need rep and rank to order better gear
stark lynx
Yeah figured
stark steppe
How do you even get exo in cs
wispy walrus
You need like professional and "Good" rep to get an exo from duty
They're like 130k
finite dragon
Leather jacket best
wispy walrus
Oh yes they need batteries too
Honestly the seva is probably better unless you really wanna loot like a mad man and use the traders buy items 26%×

finite dragon
I saw a loner in an exosuit once, all alone...no one around...should have I ? <@...
If ud get the suit yes
wispy walrus
You could potentially loot one off a Merc
finite dragon
Not like in anomaly all enemy loot 1% condition
stark lynx
I believe I would since I have outfit drops enabled
wispy walrus
Its not a 100% chance but it's cheaper to get a seva that way
stark lynx
Not like in anomaly all enemy loot 1% condition
It's area, gou get them like that
finite dragon
I need mods for cs i cant stand this game in vanilla shape
wispy walrus
Exos cost way more to repair even tho Sevas cost more to order
finite dragon
Even tho cop and soc are perfect
wispy walrus
So really don't bother doing it with a exo, most drop the dawn suit exo anyway
But yes exos tend to be geared ti the faction play style by the look of it
stark lynx
I had to delete my save file to make the game work again...I'm barely at the beginning yet again
wispy walrus
So duty is pretty much the best unless you can't dodge anomalies
And I really have no idea the problem with crashes, it does sound like the usual out of memory ctds tho
stark lynx
No clue what the problem is, it's completely random. The miracles of xray again
wispy walrus
Well yeah
That's how xray out of memory errors are
Its random if loading does or doesn't
wispy walrus
Its the engine not ur hardware running out of memory

Hey do we have any idea if Q/E leaning will exist in any form? Id imagine it wont be cause of console and stuff
tired anvil
They didn't answer this when we asked, which makes me a tiny bit worried, but here's hoping
mortal hedge
:S
pseudo rivet
Sry for the ping crimson
Love u
wispy walrus
I hope its not auto lean
sure that might make combat quicker
but i like having control
pseudo yoke
They didn't answer this when we asked, which makes me a tiny bit worried, but he...
If theyre unwilling to answer simple gameplay questions
It could be indicative of the horrible idea
that they are in fact "consolizing" it
Something I really don't like
is how we're less than a year out
and we still know very, very little
I have high hopes but this makes me uneasy
flat prism
i also wouldn't be surprised if the release was delayed by a month or two. its almost a foreseeable thing
though we know little about it, as you've said
pseudo yoke
@tired anvil a few months ago
flat prism
so who knows, we just have to wait for more information or something
tired anvil
If theyre unwilling to answer simple gameplay questions
In a way, at the same time the CMs said that they aren't spoiling the entire game to themselves yet either, so there's a small chance of them not even knowing
Also, I don't recall, what drawing?
pseudo yoke
flat prism
aren't there about 300 people workin on the game?
clever hazel
honestly kind of hoping cover in s2 is more flexible than just standard q/e leaning tbh
flat prism
inb4 s2 is a 3rd person looter-shooter with division-like cover mechanics /s
tired anvil
aren't there about 300 people workin on the game?
+-300, I believe a little over
clever hazel
something more like the fo4/farcry system would be ideal imo
blind firing, situational leaning depending on where you are in relation to a piece of cover etc.
flat prism
+-300, I believe a little over
i mean, isn't that a good thing? to compare, how many people worked on metro?
tired anvil
Around 80 on Metro
pseudo yoke
something more like the fo4/farcry system would be ideal imo
this is the one time I would want Tarkov-esque stuff
the stance system i amazing
along with all the stuff you can do with blind fires
flat prism
Around 80 on Metro
okay so then this is gonna be way bigger, wtf
only 80.. huh
and then you have gsc over here with 300 people lol
clever hazel
a bigger dev team doesn't really mean anything in itself it just means they have adequate funding for once
clever hazel
i meant wrt how often gsc has had to fight for investors and publishers in the past
tired anvil
Ehh
It fought with rather not for
Because Sharpe cut up half of what became of SoC
pseudo yoke
Didnt THQ have to send a guy out to get it done
tired anvil
Sharpe, yes
tired anvil
CEO of 4A now
clever hazel
i still think sharpe was sort of a necessary evil
clever hazel
yeah he cut shoc into shreds but also shoc still barely came out as it was yeah
tired anvil
Yup
clever hazel
i don't think there's a world in which what they had with 1935 would have ever actually been released
clever hazel
also like pre-thq stalker had goofy stuff like talking dogs
it does seem if nothing else gsc had a concrete idea for this particular iteration of s2 and what we'll get will be as close as possible to their starting point so that's a positive
and dezowave gets to do the lost alpha thing to the original s2 and make it a trash fire or whatever
best of both worlds
tired anvil
Dezowave is weird with the project
They canned it and restarted it in 72h when the SDK of S2 got leaked lmao
clever hazel
well they did that with lost alpha when it originally got leaked too didn't they
tired anvil
Indeed
clever hazel
i think they just don't handle surprises well
tired anvil
For now they seem to be staying true to the documents for 2, but we'll see how it goes
clever hazel
have they put out any more info on what s2op is actually going to be like since the sdk stuff leaked
finite dragon
So is stalker 2 a direct sequel to any of the og games or is it it's own thing
tired anvil
Sequel to CoP that will be understandable without the trilogy aplarently
tired anvil
have they put out any more info on what s2op is actually going to be like since ...
Should still just be the 2011 S2 according to them
wispy walrus
i mean the only thing really tying the 3 games together really is strelok
clever hazel
i don't think it'll be as like intimately tied into the strelok story as original s2 was but it still has like NIIChAZ and stuff
wispy walrus
without strelok they're pretty self contained
clever hazel
yeah honestly like if you removed strelok from cop you wouldn't have lost anything and it still would've been a solid self-contained entry
i'm just glad iassenev is back honestly
stalker isn't stalker without alife
and alife without iassenev is just like
bethesda ai
tired anvil
Dezowave is

tired anvil
Yes

I cant wait for my unskippable animated cutscenes
tired anvil
They've been working on it with X-Ray 2.0 for a while now
clever hazel
i wonder if people will latch onto it as the new platform for modding once it's out
finite dragon
imagine having a flamethrower in stalker.
its gonna be for fun and cruel ngl, i love seeing my enemies burn to death.
pseudo yoke
I see little practical value for a flamethrower in the Zone
finite dragon
idk, its more of a fun weapon, or to clear any debris.
tired anvil
Seeing how Kopachi burned down after an idiot set some sticks and leaves on fire, I'll pass
finite dragon
or to burn down an entire force of bandits or any enemy forces.
finite dragon
its gonna be a special one, more adapted with the zone.
wispy walrus
you mean a can of hair spray and zippo
clever hazel
portable burner anomalies
wispy walrus
still not a good combat weapon
finite dragon
They're not practical in the Zone
Although they might have their uses
Like clearing underground mutant dens maybe
finite dragon
Like clearing underground mutant dens maybe
i like that idea
burning down an entire den of mutants sounds pretty fun
wispy walrus
flamethrowers just arent good for combat, they're basically weapons based on fear or for burning structures, they'd be useless in the zone, using them on tunnels is insane too
clever hazel
even clearing dens i feel like it'd be better just like sealing the exits and using explosives
finite dragon
i thought of adding sneak attacks/takedowns or adding laser weapons.
like the gauss rifle
or the gauss smg, or gauss assault rifle.
wispy walrus
using a flamethrower on mutant tunnels would be a waste anyway, they aren't like just straight
the fire wouldn't fill it all, and the mutants could easily escape another entrance before suffocating from smoke or anything
say it with me
flamethrowers are useless on anything but humans who will be scared of it
finite dragon
It could be useful for destroying Burnt Fuzz anomalies then?
clever hazel
so would like
finite dragon
But i never saw a need to do that
wispy walrus
can you even destroy anomalies tho
clever hazel
a zippo and a can of hairspray
finite dragon
You won't get a very big flame
wispy walrus
where would factions even get a flamethrower either
finite dragon
Most flamethrower operators have a giant fuel tank behind their backs
wispy walrus
why not just use incendiary grenades at that point if you have the money to get some 60s era flamer
finite dragon
Or white phosphorus?
clever hazel
are flamethrowers even part of any modern military arsenals
finite dragon
The Chinese military used flamethrowers to destroy an hornet's nest
wispy walrus
and most are deactivated
clever hazel
well like that's a massive hornet nest and it's really high up i can understand a flamethrower in that particular instance
mortal hedge

here's a funny AREA trick
your traits on all saves are based on your newest char
so if you make a new char it'll replace the traits on all your old saves too
you see
this is why dead air made their traits cop style achievements with effects you start with if you pick them
finite dragon
Lmaoo

I get why they made a new system, some effect their skill system, but ive done up to x16 on my duty save
