[hushed aurora]

Missclick lmao

[finite dragon]

I was right

https://www.pcgamer.com/stalker-2-will-use-unreal-engine-5/

[hazy helm]

We all knew already

[finite dragon]

I knew it right after the game was released

I was arguing with someone that its on unreal engine 5

[shrewd dagger]

I suspected UE5 once they released with that reveal trailer

[finite dragon]

Yeah

Especially how they said the latest futuristic technology

Advanced*

[modern crag]

channel is back lesgo

[leaden wind]

slowmode check

[hearty saffron]

dont say the third, fourth and fifth letters of cucumber all in one word

[austere mist]

Is there a gallery of all Stalker 2 screenshots so far?

[remote crow]

Your profile picture is fairly unnerving

[finite dragon]

Ue 5?

Come in i better be able to run it on my pc

Whyyy not chad xray but rather unreal with plastic graphics

[glad temple]

Tbh xray has some of the most plastic looking graphics I’ve ever seen

And I love it

[finite dragon]

Unreals plastic is from too good

We love xray for some of its bad stuff

But xray has chad lighting

[shrewd dagger]

Nothing looked plasticy in the stalker 2 footage nor in valley of the ancients UE5 demo

[glad temple]

This as well

[shrewd dagger]

UE5 Lumen is real chad lighting

[finite dragon]

Xray was from 14 years ago

And it had that lighting

[glad temple]

Chad nanite infinite detail 😎

[finite dragon]

Also ue5 is gonna require more expensive hardware

[shrewd dagger]

X-Ray really dates back a lot more than that

[finite dragon]

Ye

[shrewd dagger]

and no its unimplemented global illumination (which got gutted from CS/CoP) isn't the same

Get a steam deck, it will play stalker 2

[finite dragon]

Steam deck

[shrewd dagger]

so will the Ryzen 5 5600G

[finite dragon]

Wuts dat

[glad temple]

Valve made a handheld pc

And it’s really good

[shrewd dagger]

and affordable but it'll probably just get scalped for way more

[finite dragon]

Hold the motherboard in ur hands

Ez like that

[jolly basalt]

the virgin steam deck vs the chad overheat-susceptible rasberry pi

[finite dragon]

Nokia 3310 better

[glad temple]

Probably on low, but who knows since nanite is so good

[shrewd dagger]

technically we don't know how much nanite will be used in stalker 2

[finite dragon]

Nanitee??

[jolly basalt]

what's nanite? never heard of it.

[glad temple]

They have no reason to move to ue5 if they weren’t

[jolly basalt]

some new tech?

[glad temple]

New ue5 tech

[finite dragon]

Probably some virgin ue tech

[glad temple]

Here’s a 10 min rundown on it https://youtu.be/P65cADzsP8Q

It’s revolutionary

[jolly basalt]

as funny as it is to meme XRay being godlike, unreal is extremely versatile and has done wonders for every game that's used it.

[glad temple]

Allow 100s billions of polys to be crunched down to a few million on screen

[jolly basalt]

also the game runs as well as the devs allow it / optimize it, so it's not like UE makes the framerate lower

[finite dragon]

Pls ultra low settings

[shrewd dagger]

nanite = virtual geometry, overcomes tons of limitations, seems to implement DX12 mesh shader

[jolly basalt]

weren't there talks of DX13 in the works ot something?

[finite dragon]

Ue is used just cuz its ez

[glad temple]

Isn’t DX12 still in beta?

[finite dragon]

Dx 12 is used in games already

Its in metro exodus

[shrewd dagger]

Easy, extremely widely supported (you can make a full game in many genres just from marketplace assets), extremely capable and versatile and extensible, and UE5 in particular just kind of makes everything else look archaic

[jolly basalt]

blind hatred for UE gets us nowhere :(

[shrewd dagger]

DX12 has been in production since 2014 or earlier

[jolly basalt]

i thought dx12 was much older

[shrewd dagger]

Games are now using DX12 Ultimate, newer DX12 feature level

[jolly basalt]

my mistake lol

[finite dragon]

Im just meme ing about xray and ue chill

[shrewd dagger]

DX12 just dates back to Windows 10

also the engine royalties for UE4 are not bad at all so that's not too bad

[glad temple]

I’m just hyped for stalker 2 to signal the beginning of 9th gen graphics

[finite dragon]

I just like it when i play stalker my monitor freezes

And goes all green

[jolly basalt]

i hope that huge electricity event happens ingame

from the teaser

[finite dragon]

Where it strikes the radar thingy?

[jolly basalt]

i believe so. looks awesome

[finite dragon]

At the fight with gauss gun

Ye it looks cool

[glad temple]

That was the brain scorcher, right?

[finite dragon]

Idk posiiblyyy

Monoliths defending it

[glad temple]

Brain scorcher 2: heart of failure

[jolly basalt]

hunting shotgun better stay the way it was

[finite dragon]

Yeep

[jolly basalt]

crazy acc and range if you know how it works

[finite dragon]

Just point and shoot it

Get a rifled barrel and use sligs

Slugs

[jolly basalt]

any news on retail US?

been busy recently

[finite dragon]

What is stalker like actually about

Idk if stalker 2 will explain anything

[jolly basalt]

stalker's just about survival & greed, if you really want it simplified.

[finite dragon]

Gimme the full

[glad temple]

Oh lord

[random vortex]

And vodka.

[jolly basalt]

hard to. player choices make giving a "full" impossible.

[finite dragon]

So it's an open world survival game

Not a full full like the plot and goal

[random vortex]

Not really a survival game.

[finite dragon]

I own no stalker games, I pre installed stalker 2 on my xbox series x

[glad temple]

It’s got one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever seen

[shrewd dagger]

Just play them

[jolly basalt]

plots change and so do goals.

SHOC: find wish granter
CS: stop strelok
COP: find the data

[ornate compass]

Why not playing it instead I mean, what better way to get an idea of what is it than playing it

[glad temple]

Probably beaten only by the HL2 beta

[finite dragon]

To know if I like it

[shrewd dagger]

Most mods these days include the game for free

[jolly basalt]

you won't know until you experience it

[finite dragon]

If I know your goal and the theme and gameplay style it helps me decide

[ornate compass]

Stalker is difficult to define, play it instead is not even that expensive and potatoes can run it, you can get the bundle really cheap

[jolly basalt]

gameplay depends on players. you can be a war machine or fairly stealthy.

goals change and so do protagonists.

[ornate compass]

True

[finite dragon]

Is it an open world

[glad temple]

Do you like dark atmosphere and difficult but rewarding gameplay?

[finite dragon]

Yes

[glad temple]

Sort of

[ornate compass]

Sort of

[random vortex]

Kind of, it's divided up into a few areas.

[finite dragon]

I love dark souls

The lore and gameplay is always fun and interesting

[glad temple]

Then you’ll probably like stalker

[finite dragon]

So yes i like dark atmosphere and difficult rewarding gameplay

[shrewd dagger]

First two games have a handful of fairly large maps separated by loading screen, CoP is 3 main maps that are bigger, and they are not exactly full open world since you have to unlock levels in CS and CoP

[finite dragon]

Great

Does It play like call of duty or not even

[jolly basalt]

stalker has a very cynical and gritty atmosphere.

gameplay is "you die or live". rewards optional.

[finite dragon]

I see it has ADS so maybe

[ornate compass]

Definitely not

[random vortex]

No. 😂

[finite dragon]

Alright

[jolly basalt]

it does not play like cod. stalker is strategic mainly.

[finite dragon]

I got into call of duty 2 days ago with black ops 2

[glad temple]

I keep almost saying the same things as you lol

[random vortex]

It plays more like a tactical shooter.

[ornate compass]

The truth is universal

[glad temple]

Indeed

[random vortex]

At least before "end game".

[shrewd dagger]

I wouldn't go that far, you just can't run around mindlessly (except in CoP)

[finite dragon]

Cod is pretty strategic but with the state of the series rn I don't think you will appreciate the series much

It has a Supreme and amazing storyline and amazing weapons and customization

It took a nosedive after bo3

[jolly basalt]

i dont mean strategic in the usual sense i mean more "you need to plan before running"

[glad temple]

Yeah, I don’t support anything from activision anymore

[finite dragon]

Same

I only play og cod

[jolly basalt]

waw was my first cod. then BO1 & BO2. i hate the "futuristic" cod games.

[shrewd dagger]

CoD 1? Or RTCW lol

[jolly basalt]

but cod is kinda off-topic

[glad temple]

Should we go to off topic or change the subject?

[random vortex]

Change the subject to anime waifus.

[jolly basalt]

does astolfo count? i pretend they're female.

[glad temple]

Ah yes, that’s a stalker subject

[jolly basalt]

"ey blin your catgirl is garbage"

[random vortex]

You can bring your waifu body pillow into the zone with you, so kinda.

[glad temple]

Fair

[finite dragon]

I never got to experience the cod multiplayer so I just fool with random weapons that look cool in campaign and try to get different endings

[finite dragon]

Futuristic cod can work

It just hasn't yet which is sad

We got old cod, we got semi future cod, and bad space cod

[jolly basalt]

i only like bo2's stuff because it still feels "boots on ground"

[finite dragon]

Same

I don't like when games force you in vehicles

[jolly basalt]

i hated the one that introduced jetpack jumps

[finite dragon]

I like that you can optionally hack and break into rooms and get vehicles or mg's

You can play however you want in cod, since you have full access to the entire weapon sandbox

[jolly basalt]

loadouts were amazing in bo2. especially the end-game stuff like miniguns

[shrewd dagger]

The best stalker game is Into The Radius VR

[finite dragon]

But when people go whining like Future... FUTURE I feel they never gave it a chance

[finite dragon]

I like the Titus and war machine

The zombies isn't terrible other than tranzit and it's lava floors

[jolly basalt]

i actually liked tranzit

[glad temple]

I really need to play that

[finite dragon]

Same

Black ops cold war is awesome with its campaign

A good cod game finally

Mp is garbage

Zombies is god tier

[jolly basalt]

Moon & Mob of The Dead are my favorite zombie maps

[glad temple]

I also want to get Chernobylite so I can compare small team UE4 stalker style to massive team ue5 stalker style

[jolly basalt]

zombie wasn't even gonna be a gamemode. they just added it to WAW out of boredom

[finite dragon]

I hope the next cod can be as good as the last one

Cold war felt like the devs actually cared and put heart and soul into it

It was so good I beat the entire campaign at my friend's house in one go

[glad temple]

Cod teams seem to be the only ones unaffected by activision’s terrible work ethic

[modern mason]

Hey guys, if you want to talk about other topics I recommend heading over to #💬┃en_offtop

[glad temple]

Oh yeah sorry

[modern mason]

You're good

[finite dragon]

Stalker 2 looks too good

It needs to be downgraded to xray lets make a petition

[glad temple]

I have no doubt someone will make an X-ray version in a couple years

[shrewd dagger]

Hah, they'd have to segment stalker 2's world into a bunch of maps, and be working on the mod for 10 years or so - in 1/10th that time they could instead make enough money to get a PC that can run stalker 2 lol

[glad temple]

Definitely

But it’d be fun to see

[finite dragon]

Recently started playing stalker anomaly, honestly its pretty good. Still has that vanilla feel to it.

Anyone here playing anomaly??

[random vortex]

Most people here hate anomaly.

[bold jewel]

i have returned stalkers!

[finite dragon]

oh

Explosive why??

good

[livid salmon]

[finite dragon]

i miss old server

[past shuttle]

me

[unkempt mesa]

da.

[finite dragon]

The en stalker chat is a haven for retards that want some retail juice

STALKER? nah. Retail? yeeees

• a random retard that lives in the western hemisphere that wants retail

Plus, they probably won't use it next year lmao

just safekeeping it till they die

Yeah

Better off with the digital stuff

wat progress

aah aight

[ornate compass]

:so_true!:

Honestly I don't believe in pre-order's, that's seems like legal scam

[finite dragon]

I think the crap they have (referencing to the retail stuff), is just going to not be used (probably for safekeeping or any retarded crap)

[faint spindle]

i am thinking therefore i am aming

[ornate compass]

One can argue that the lamp and the bag can be used, but then remember how the bag of fallout turned out

[finite dragon]

bag that is probably mid to low quality

Just like mine when going to school last month

And the lamp is going to be used temporarily imo

[ornate compass]

They still appeal to me (like many retail items) but A) I'm poor B) I don't like being disappointed

[finite dragon]

Poor guys gang

Where we don't give a crap about retail

and yes, there is a delay about retail

lmao

[random vortex]

Not really a big deal on Steam, you can refund within 2 hours if a game ends up being trash.

[finite dragon]

i dont really care about the preoder because i have a crap laptop and i dont have money

[random vortex]

You can come over to my house and play on my PC when the game releases.

[livid salmon]

[finite dragon]

i hate living in my country anyway

very hot

[finite dragon]

No wonder we failed because of disunity

It's a tropical country, not a haven of cold

[finite dragon]

Plus at least you don't live in a country that has volcanoes

[wispy pier]

multiplayer stalker?

hmm

nvm he uploaded the same file

[acoustic tree]

I live

[finite dragon]

and died

[acoustic tree]

Again

Its sex o clock

[wispy pier]

chat deceased

i miss when stalker games looked the same and would run the same 😭 my poor gma 3000 cant run S2

[acoustic tree]

I cant run s2 either

Maybe theyll make the specs easier later and let us tone down most stuff so theres a hope

[finite dragon]

guess we can get to play stalker 2 when we are 70 yo

[acoustic tree]

Good enough

[finite dragon]

No

[finite dragon]

stupid rock worshipper

[glacial girder]

монолит #1

[livid salmon]

[high plume]

[void vortex]

I can run S2 but my motherboard died

[glad temple]

Rip

[fair rover]

ok so now the duty stopped spawning after i captured their base myself

[tight cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/pacman-gif-21447981

[fallen dust]

a

[finite dragon]

p

[tight cloud]

🅱️

[wispy pier]

unreal engine 5 aint gonna be easy to run

[acoustic tree]

Yeah but these current specs requirements are beyond everything

[wispy pier]

its like on par with fast and furious crossroads system requirements

i guess they came back after 13 years with banger graphiks

[acoustic tree]

Sure new engine and everything but i dont think the main audience of stalker was ever the rich kids with overpriced pcs

[wispy pier]

yep but i guess you could run it with a i5 3450 and a 1030

[acoustic tree]

With 20fps when looking straight up so nothing is loaded

[wispy pier]

i guess 720p is playable

720p30 could be possible

[acoustic tree]

I guess it wont hurt to try if its unplayable i can refund it anyway

[wispy pier]

or you know apu's can also run it maybe its still in development so they might change it

or you could get a 1050 ti and slap on a 2200 G

[acoustic tree]

I do have a 1050ti

[wispy pier]

cpu?

[acoustic tree]

Some jank i5 3570k i bought in 2012

[wispy pier]

eh you could run metro exodus so you might run S2

they probs gonna lower the system requirements dw

[acoustic tree]

Exodus ran fine on the most parts

1080p too

[wispy pier]

hey you could run escape from takrov too so dont worry about s2 running lol

[acoustic tree]

tarkov is a different story

[wispy pier]

bottlenecked by ram

[acoustic tree]

That game runs like a crippled man with crutches

[wispy pier]

800x600

jesus man 150 gig thats like warzone level

[acoustic tree]

Im still looking forward to s2 doesnt matter how it runs for me

[wispy pier]

oh well with great detail comes great sizes

idk about warzone that thing doesnt have detail

[acoustic tree]

If they optimize s2 well it should run properly

Tarkov is extremely unoptimized and runs like garbage

[wispy pier]

ay dlss is here to help/fsr

[acoustic tree]

Hope they dont add PiP scopes or force it on everyone

Double render on my pc and it might actually melt my house block

[wispy pier]

yeah

i liked iron sights but my monitor doesnt

[acoustic tree]

Got a 27inch monitor and still cant see anything without scopes

[wispy pier]

my monitor has a white big spot on the middle where ironsights show up and i cant see anything

but i still dont mind it

@acoustic tree even if you cant run s2 theres gonna be fsr support so pog

[acoustic tree]

No idea what fsr is

[wispy pier]

do you know what dlss is?

[acoustic tree]

The rtx cards anti aliasing or something like that

[wispy pier]

dlss/fsr is downscaling and then upscaling to the 1080p/required resolution

dlss is nvidia's one and fsr is amd's one

generally amd was better

[opaque parrot]

Can someone explain wtf HDR actually does?

And what is tripple buffer for textures?

[wispy pier]

If a command could be in flight and it could access (read/sample/write) the texture while you're modifying that same texture on the CPU .

I know that enabling triple buffering uses more video memory which can otherwise be used to store textures, but with 1GB (and higher) cards these days

[finite dragon]

hdr makes your graphics more brighter

[wispy pier]

uses more vram

[opaque parrot]

I am but a simple mortal, does that translate to "it makes the picture look better"?

[wispy pier]

yes kinda but it would use more vram

[opaque parrot]

Ah cool then, thx for explaining it to me mate

[wispy pier]

yea welcome mate!

[opaque parrot]

"Cause I've tried turning them on and off but couldn't really see much of a difference

Must be a small difference I guess

[fair rover]

guys in artifact description any paramter shown like -3 radiation actualy means what??

[wispy pier]

look very closely

[fair rover]

like is it -3 radiation effect or -3%??

[wispy pier]

-3 radiation i think means -3% radiation

[finite dragon]

it decrease the radiation efftect

[fair rover]

@finite dragon ikr but by what standard??

[wispy pier]

i think it removes the radiation efffect faster

[fair rover]

ok

[wispy pier]

-100% radiation baeby

[fair rover]

?

[wispy pier]

anyway to repair my stalker suit

[finite dragon]

@wispy pier no without mods

Embrace mods, improve your experience

cs and cop is the only game where you can repair your suit and weapons

not sure if you are talking about soc or cs

[finite dragon]

Why is there a two hour slowmode for #🤨┃stalker_memes

[livid salmon]

[wet jackal]

you guys know what the duty and freedom leaders are in SoC and how to kill them for different endings?

[finite dragon]

duty leader are in rostok/bar and freedom leader are in warehouse

if you kill them both, everyone will be hostile to you

[acoustic tree]

u can kill the entire freedom base easily if u go with the silent squad at army warehouses

theres no easy way to wipe out voronin though

[wet jackal]

what is his name?

[finite dragon]

vorinin and lukash

[wet jackal]

last question, what area in the bar are they at?

sorry and 1 more, what is the freedom leaders name?

[finite dragon]

Different endings? Yeah try out the stone endings

in the bar, there's another area which you cannot enter but if you completed the x16 lab mission, you can get inside and then go to the left you will the a entrance

that's where he is

[wet jackal]

🍻 cheers mate

[finite dragon]

The killing/helping tube guys won't make a difference

my first soc ending is wanted to be rich

[signal sapphire]

Hello!

[wet jackal]

mine was the zone disappearing

and accidentally got a few other endings

[finite dragon]

Mine was the killing tube ending

i noticed this odd looking area and then i made a save and go straight to the glowing rock

[signal sapphire]

How do you think your computer will pull Stalker 2?

[finite dragon]

Dead when launching the game I suppose

[wet jackal]

i was just confused because i watched boris' lets play and i thought i would get his ending

then figured out later that he faked his ending lol

[signal sapphire]

What a bad one.

[finite dragon]

Stone endings are indeed fake endings anyway

[livid salmon]

[wet jackal]

im missing 1 stone ending

[signal sapphire]

Did you know that GSC game world hacked?

[finite dragon]

Yes we all do

[livid salmon]

Yes

[finite dragon]

yes and it aint a secret anymore

[wet jackal]

so thats why stuff was going down a few days ago

[signal sapphire]

I hope the game is okay.

[finite dragon]

the server was raided by hackers not the game

the game is fine

[wet jackal]

bruh if the game was hacked and was never to be seen again id leave the earth

[finite dragon]

Its an excuse

To release in 2023

Uts a false flag attack

With that i mena they made it themselves

[finite dragon]

Nice conspiracy bro 👍

i tell everyone in anomadeek server about stalker official server got hacked and not a single person cares

[signal sapphire]

I agree

[finite dragon]

Noobs

they wont stop posting their "REALISM RUSSIAN FALLOUT ESCAPE FROM TARKOK SCREENSHOT XDDDDDDDDD"

[livid salmon]

[finite dragon]

this is so sad. can we hit 50 anomaly fans

[signal sapphire]

How did anyone know about Stalker?

[finite dragon]

Because they are not supposed to

[potent bluff]

They even said that Stalker 2 gonna suck anyway

[finite dragon]

as i said, they like to post their anomaly screenshot with 500+ items in their backpack and fully upgraded exo

[finite dragon]

from a youtuber named broleg and he likes to make doom content. he posted a video of him playing a stalker mods called last day and of course i'm a gamer and i like post apocalypse-atmosphere game and i try out soc

[random vortex]

The item bloat in anomaly is crazy, I have no idea what the devs were thinking adding all those useless redundant items.

[finite dragon]

ps5 better then xbox change my mind

ikr and call it realism mannn

[random vortex]

It's not tho.

[finite dragon]

"OMG WHAT A TARKOV CLONE"

it is very much

[livid salmon]

When i search a shooter game that supports my laptop

[finite dragon]

in reality, you dont bring tons of useless crap with you

[random vortex]

Gaming websites back in 2007 I think.

[potent bluff]

When I was 9 I interested in Chernobyl incident and found the game after that now I'm 20+ and still play the game till this days

[finite dragon]

As a young lad I loved Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and I picked up a copy of Shadow of Chernobyl at a dollarstore for 7 dollars. Didn't play it much because my PC couldn't handle it as I was using a Pentium 4 craptop at the time. Later when I got a actual gaming PC I found out about Call of Pripyat and then I went downhill form there. Been playing ever since.

[potent bluff]

[finite dragon]

kinda disappointed that not many people in my country knows about stalker. kids these days only knows about pubg, fortnato, and mobile legends

My smooth teenage brain saw mutants on the box and though " There's more games like Fallout". Obviously I know now that the games are very different but back then I was young, dumb and even dumber.

[random vortex]

Stalker is pretty niche.

[potent bluff]

Same... Ppl here play RoV and Warzone crap

[finite dragon]

Yeah its a situtaion of the games inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are more popular then the game that inspired it.

[potent bluff]

Sad true

[finite dragon]

Played a mobile version of it (emulator-esque) when I was younger

Mobile Stalker

It was SoC btw

So kordon is only map

At least from what I remember when I was 9

Ain't fun as expected tbh

first time playing soc, its kinda confusing but i like the cutscene. very nice

All subtitles were in Russian and fonts were small as crap

First time I played SoC after I got a good PC I installed the Complete mod and that was a mistake

never listen to those western youtuber

I know

[finite dragon]

Or any retards

[potent bluff]

First time I played SoC I run around and don't do the quest 'cause back then I don't understand english

[finite dragon]

freethinkers are dangerous

[finite dragon]

Fun fact: Pabij mobail used to be a mod for Arma 3

and they worshiped this mod and not the original game?

we live in a society

Indeed sad

[potent bluff]

[finite dragon]

Most Malaysians don't have a PC yk, but at least search what game it is based on smh

yeah i get it parents dont have much money and goverment treat us like poo(cant say the bad word)

And then buy Arma just for bullshiddery episodes

[finite dragon]

Cough Cough Anomaly Cough Cough

[finite dragon]

Mahathir is better imo, he helped the country much

[finite dragon]

DON'T GET ME STARTED

Sad he's old

OMG WARCRIMES FUNNY

yeah but then his mind is kinda "rosak" and he really cant think much

[finite dragon]

I commit kil rus and mericans in arma antistasi

[finite dragon]

He's just old yk

he wanted to turn malaysia into a lgbt country but yeah glad he quit becoming the president

anyway

[finite dragon]

what

Never heard of the crap of him making this country a lgbt crap

you live in johor right?

[finite dragon]

Yeah

Politics I don't read much

that's why. you never know what is actually happening here

[finite dragon]

Everything's gone to crap anyway

[potent bluff]

[finite dragon]

right let's not talk about politics here

joe

[potent bluff]

In my country government use covid to fight with citizens

[finite dragon]

And the president thing; you think our country is a democracy or smth

It's a constitutal monarchy

[finite dragon]

Gg

Serbia do be a bruh

[finite dragon]

I tried to play Arma 3 with friends before that never played Arma and only got the came becasue of Bullshitery episodes and it was a non-stop barrage of repeating Wombles awful jokes

[potent bluff]

Send those vaccine to us please

[finite dragon]

Wanna play with me someday? In antistasi

Sure

Probably tomorrow

I will need to install the game again lol

And its 200 gb of mods

Lul

what gpu you have

^^

[finite dragon]

Just have ACE, RHS Antistasi community edition

Arma 3 is acniet game my GTTX 1050 TI runs it fine

[frosty holly]

Hi guys

[finite dragon]

And that's it

[potent bluff]

Imma buy Asus Tuf gaming F15 next week

[finite dragon]

Maybe for you, I don't!

[potent bluff]

Real pc too expensive

[finite dragon]

Because poor enough to buy some ram

Dam

if only money would appear from the sky

Lmao it's thousands here yk

So think twice

I could get a gigabyte motherboard and some case, but GPU probably not

And RAM could be two sticks of 8GB

[potent bluff]

Rtx 3060 here is 65k thb (1.9k usd)

[finite dragon]

CPU? Deadass

[potent bluff]

Sad

[finite dragon]

im not really good at this graphics card thing all i know about it is that i can run games in high fps xddddd

pe

Could get the AMD APU

Gg el suicido

[potent bluff]

That new graphics card by AMD are all sold out here because of crypto mining.... Damn them

[finite dragon]

Crypto ruining lives smh

[potent bluff]

But I don't mind if someone donate me bitcoin

[finite dragon]

It's worth it if you have electric running supply

But there's a case where the Malaysian police demolished cryptomining builds

my plan is to get a good decent gaming pc and then get a guitar

[finite dragon]

Honestly just get a monitor that is just 144hz

Nothing more since you would want more FPS

noted

And plus, when you have gaming pc, get yo'self some colours

Yeah

[wet jackal]

what happens if u talk to sidorovich after doing the x18 mission

i usually just go to barkeep but ik sidorovich asks u to come over

[finite dragon]

just a little bit of money

and some ammo

and weapons. those weapons are not that great

[wet jackal]

oh ok thx

fr man ty a lot for the answers

[finite dragon]

np

[wet jackal]

@finite dragon sorry, another question. when can you attack the freedom base to kill the leaders?

[finite dragon]

well if you want to attack their base, you need to find the groups of dutyer

[wet jackal]

can i go in by myself?

[finite dragon]

well sure you can go there by yourself but their aim is not like any other games you played, they are very tough and there are a lot of them

[wet jackal]

i can prob do it

[finite dragon]

well go ahead

[wet jackal]

ight ill let u know how it goes

[finite dragon]

what a tough son of a b

[wet jackal]

i have found voronin

time to open the menudo out between his ears

actually im gonna use him to attack the freedom base

then ill kill him

@finite dragon @finite dragon i did it

nope, did it all myself. only died around 10 times or something but i still got tons of bandages and medkits

no

i just walked in, massacred everyone and killed chef

[fair rover]

@signal sapphire my interest grew after watching hbo chernobyl miniseries...and after that i searched for games based in chernobyl disaster and from there i came to know about stalker..

[wet jackal]

voronin is kia

[wet jackal]

and now i have officially gotten all the endings

[magic reef]

Noice

[weak valve]

+- same, i heared about stalker maybe 10years ago, but i start my interest in this games after i watched chernobyl

[opaque parrot]

I found out about Chernobyl after the game lmao

Was just a 9 year old back then so it's justified

Or was I 8

Same thing

His famous last words. Words of a national hero.

[finite dragon]

i was on twitch casually watching soem guy playing soc

and in chat i see "metro?"

and it honestly pissed me off

[past shuttle]

absolutely the same for me

I had a cd of ShoC

I was just 9 years old back when I first met with the game

[opaque parrot]

@past shuttle You're born in 1996?

[past shuttle]

bruh no

[opaque parrot]

I was born in September 1996
I know what my parents did on the New Year's eve

Wait when did SoC even come out? 2004, 2005? Can't remember exactly

[pseudo rivet]

2007

[finite dragon]

And it will be the same for stalker 2

Release in 2023, you will see

[opaque parrot]

So I was like 11

[opaque parrot]

Nah, that won't happen

Kane will come for you if that becomes the truth

[pseudo rivet]

[acoustic tree]

I still have the cd my dad burnt out a pirated copy to

[finite dragon]

hello

Seriously who thought it was a good idea using a brand new engine for this game

They have no experience with ue

[hazy helm]

You still hung up on it not being on X-ray?the Devs can stretch their legs more and make bigger strides with UE and have ample library's of help with it

[opaque parrot]

X-ray is X-ray

We need bugs!

Actually those are just anomalies but whatever

[finite dragon]

Hello

Should i beat all the stalker and metro games prior to stalker 2

I thought metro was related

How so

Arrnt they loosely tied together though

[ornate compass]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ≠ metro ≠ roadside picnic ≠ stalker

[quartz owl]

hello guys

I have a text file I made a while ago with stalker 2's story spoilers, anyone wants to read it? No virus lol, just a text!

[hushed aurora]

Not at all

[ornate compass]

The only things on common is that they both have roadside picnic Elements, and Some GSC ex members worked on metro

[finite dragon]

[hearty wing]

have they announced microtransactions and skins for the game yet

[glad temple]

Hacker?

[glad temple]

You’re joking, right?

[livid salmon]

[finite dragon]

I mean unreal 5 is new

No experience with a new engine + GSC stuff = bugs

[glad temple]

It’s literally UE4 with some revolutionary stuff added that can be used very easily

Just because it’s new for a studio doesn’t mean it’s new for the devs

Most developers have experience with unreal

[finite dragon]

Gsc are slavs

After cyberpunk fiasco im not trusting slavic devs anymore

[glad temple]

Fair, but cdpr DID crunch the workers after slacking off for years

It seems the GSC has been working hard since day 1

[finite dragon]

They rushed the game

[glad temple]

indeed

[finite dragon]

GSC seems not forced nor rushing the game

So just let it be

[glad temple]

Agreed

[timber pawn]

honestly speaking i'd prefer Unreal Engine 5 then the darn X-Ray Engine that constantly hickups and dies every time you try something different with it.......say i wonder if there will be a Huge load of mods coming out for Stalker 2 as well just like the previous trilogy

oh yeah Vladimir "MoozE" Frey if you are here No offence about the engine but it really wasn't stable in a few areas and certainly wasn't Mod friendly

[glad temple]

With ue5 comes more experienced and professional modders, I suspect we’ll be seeing very high quality mods coming very quick

[timber pawn]

hey maybe some of the modders will maybe try to rework the entire trilogy and do the same thing they did with Stalker Anomaly. its a dice roll really of what it can be but i am gonna be all for it once the main game and mods come out.....yupp i think im gonna no life this game XD

[glad temple]

Saaame

[finite dragon]

Rule 34 mods incoming

[crystal temple]

Bloodsucker

[glad temple]

oh no

[crystal temple]

[still ridge]

Yes but skins aren’t for single player

Thank god

[fair rover]

anyone here playing chernobylite??

[finite dragon]

game looks great tbh but sadly my laptop is bad

really wanted to play the game

[weak valve]

Thinking abou it, i will buy it in some bigger sale

But now waitiiiing on preorder (((:

[acoustic tree]

Chernobylite is ironically a light/diet version of stalker

[weak valve]

I dont think so

Its so so diffrent games

Only locations is same

[acoustic tree]

👍

[signal sapphire]

[hollow peak]

[potent bluff]

Nope

I wish tho

[robust forge]

Eww

[potent bluff]

Me country frick up by the government everyone here want to leave the country

[hollow peak]

Реально?

[robust forge]

Yeah, tell that to a guy from Poland

New plan of our government is literally called The New Order

[hollow peak]

hi from Russian

[potent bluff]

My country used to be 5 tigers of the asians now its 10th pussy of the asians

[robust forge]

My country used to be 1/3rds of Europe

And look at us now

On sino-kraut-american leash

Trying to mimic the west as mindlessly as a parrot

God, I need to print out and hang "Grób Aganemnona" somewhere in my room

Because it's a poem every Polak should live by

It pretty much says "burn the Poland down"

Bruh @noble lodge, have you had lessons about Słowacki already?

[noble lodge]

Well yeah

I hate this guy

[robust forge]

You what

Well, do you prefer Mickiewicz over him?

[inland granite]

Tbh, i'm actually amazed about the fact that poland still exists

After going thru all that

[robust forge]

Now watch us become Europe's Venezuela

[inland granite]

I don't know bro, looks like they are doing okay

Well compared to old times

[finite dragon]

Nah

Every ASEAN countries does

But we failed through economical struggle and our currency goes to crap

[noble lodge]

Yes

[robust forge]

Cringe

[noble lodge]

Idc bout the message in these books, I just hate Słowacki books

They’re stupid

Like Balladyna

[robust forge]

So do you prefer the Romantyczność?

Bruh

[finite dragon]

hi

[potent bluff]

Hi

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

well they did but glad it wont be available in singleplayer

but it completely ruins the real stalker multiplayer

[finite dragon]

Ayy weeb anime weapon skins here we go

no

[fair rover]

stalker multiplayer with factionbwars will be very good...

thats all i want from multiplayer

[finite dragon]

in soc, cs and cop, you only fight with freedom vs mercs

[fair rover]

no

[finite dragon]

I can't wait to have a qt 3.14 bandit waifu skin for my character

[finite dragon]

Damn it won't embed

[loud urchin]

Im gonna kill "stranger" at the first opportunity I get

[wispy pier]

all my homies love vanilla experience

[finite dragon]

What are must have mods for a first playthrough

[hushed aurora]

None

[opaque parrot]

Amen to that

May the Zone take me if I don't try to take him out

Even if it ends in game over

[crystal temple]

Pls nerf hamster in stalker 2

They are scary and powerful

[real condor]

man I had a dream IRL where stalker 2 was released and there were stalkers in the game that tamed dogs and used them for hunting, that would be scary cool

[crystal temple]

Wowww so cool

I don’t think I want to click it

I’m gonna get hacked!!!1!1!

[opaque parrot]

DON'T CLICK ANYTHING FFS!

@pseudo rivet Release the Marked of Kane

[pseudo rivet]

Did the do

[opaque parrot]

Kane be with you

Where's Tapik, did he click it?

[pseudo rivet]

In Kane's service

[crystal temple]

Did you drink all 30 vodkas

[opaque parrot]

Just 30?

Drink Cossack's until death

[random vortex]

Which version of CoC should I play? The one released in 2016 or the in dev build from 2018?

[still ridge]

Neither

If you’re playing CoC you might as well just play anomaly

[acoustic tree]

play first version coc from 2015

main prob with coc is the same as pripyat

too fast progression

yeah thanks i always wanted some chimera balls

frick everyone i actually enjoy playing anomaly occasionally

no idea i have 16gb on my desktop

theres some extreme minimal settings u could likely run it fine

although 4gb is the minimum as i remember no idea

[opaque parrot]

Play Vanilla

Case closed

Do it again

Jk, try Anomaly @finite dragon

So far one of the best mods I played

It's just annoying that some ppl never played vanilla, but played Anomaly only and consider it canon for some reason

@finite dragon Also, CoC is good only if you play it with the right addons imho
Anomaly is much better, so I strongly suggest you try it

[copper sky]

you could try Road to the North

its potato friendly and its really good mod

[opaque parrot]

@copper sky What does that mod do? I'd like to know so I could try it if it's worth it

[native ibex]

So, what's with the message limit

[copper sky]

its a merge of diverse mods, specially Misery and CoC/CoM

[hallow solstice]

anomaly is way better than CoC. d anomaly

[random vortex]

Anomaly is pretty garbage though.

[hallow solstice]

just install a few addons and its golden

it gives a very solid freeplay to the zone other stalkers didnt have

or mods

[random vortex]

What's wrong with CoC?

[native ibex]

All mods are bad, play vanilla.
Pay no attention to the mods behind the curtain.

[hallow solstice]

old, and anomaly is a lot more stable and has access to far more addons

[hallow solstice]

stalker vanilla can only be played so much

[native ibex]

I agree

Which is why I never played it

[random vortex]

Anomaly adds way too many useless items that end up cluttering everything.

[normal tiger]

Definitely correct about that

the "Tarkovification" of Stalker (Anomaly, anyway) strikes me as unnecessary and designed only to give people who enjoy micromanaging 100s of things something to keep busy while it adds very little of practical value to the gameplay experience

just a bunch of tedium

but hey, to each his own I guess ❤️

[native ibex]

Well, mod the stiff youndont like out and let us micromanagers enjoy out maintenance

[random vortex]

You've never played vanilla?

[native ibex]

Accurately speaking

I've played most of the into to Clear Sky and was repulsed by it

[hushed aurora]

The Flesh is Weak

[normal tiger]

I mean, it was an objectively janky/buggy experience, not everyone is inclined to bang their head against a wall and push through 🙂

[hushed aurora]

It's nowhere near as bad as some make it look like, ofc everyone can choose to play whatever they want but it kinda amazes how some exaggerate it so much

[random vortex]

Especially when some of them have only played 5 minutes, or maybe none of vanilla at all, then go play Anomaly and act like it's so much better than the originals and want to act like they have any real knowledge of the original games.

[hushed aurora]

^This

[slender cloud]

Hello, got some sort of strange question - Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Mobile canon?

[tired anvil]

No

[slender cloud]

Thanks

[void vortex]

🥲

[wheat gulch]

I remember stalker mobile

it was fun, played the heck out of it

[deep lily]

is it still available to play or no?

[vague steeple]

[deep lily]

no

[remote crow]

Who is Strelok?

In math: my solution
In history: my king
In art: my canvas
In science: my oxygen
In geography: my world

[leaden adder]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[vernal magnet]

yes, you can play it with an android emulator. the game package is floating around on the net. i have copies of it myself

[silk locust]

I have found my stalker comrades

[past shuttle]

bruh

summer is almost over

[vague steeple]

[finite dragon]

Strelok, theres a stalker with that name that was at the cnpp sometimes

[finite dragon]

Summer doesn't exist

[finite dragon]

Enjoying summer by waiting for it to end asap

[random vortex]

That was so beautiful. 🥲

[wintry knoll]

kabul has fallen
just puttin it out there

[finite dragon]

She is the simp for him so what could we do

"You know the drill, leave him on his own"

[wispy pier]

im too scared to play soc at this time

[finite dragon]

Play it now

I played SoC at night with rain

[wispy pier]

my god

[neat mango]

[wispy pier]

such madlads

[fair rover]

anyone know how to use rangefinder on pso1 scope??

im having difficilty understanding the reticle

[native ibex]

I am convinced that those are just for looks

The devs almost certainly did not factor range in

[fair rover]

yay!! i finished stalker clear sky on master difficulty

23 hours

[native ibex]

What's that in first world country units

Whoo

Florida be hot, but not quite that hot

[fair rover]

its too humid here\

[rotund verge]

Hi guys, just a quick question, once the game is installed upon release will it require an always online connection or can you play it without an Internet connection too?

I plan to do something quite stupid and ambitious when the game releases but there will be no internet connection where I will be

[fair rover]

its 90% here

well but the thing is that taliban advances trouble me...

no

where r u from?

good

u r safe although even we are tho

its already heppening

i se vietnam flashbacks

see

[grand drift]

tbh

this did came out of nowhere

[pulsar zodiac]

Where's regular chat?

Was thinking of getting stalker

[acoustic tree]

In a mass grave at the following coordinates 47.1913889, -52.8372223

[pulsar zodiac]

Is that a stalker joke?

[quick dune]

this is the regular chat

for stalker

[acoustic tree]

Its the coordinates of pee pee island but google maps somewhy doesnt show the name if you use the coordinates

[wheat galleon]

why is it called pee pee island

[pulsar zodiac]

Oh okay. There seems to be a lot of games or DLC add ons for Stalker

[quick dune]

no dlcs for stalker

only mods

[wheat galleon]

theres alot of mods i think

[quick dune]

anomaly is overrated, don't play it

[pulsar zodiac]

That cost money? They're part of a bundle on Steam.

[quick dune]

that's the trilogy of stalker games

all 3 of the games that are out

first game you should play is shadow of chernobyl

[pulsar zodiac]

Oh okay so there's multiple games. Are they all basically the same thing like how R6 Vegas 1 and 2 were basically the same mechanically?

[wheat galleon]

not really

[quick dune]

they are the same with the goal

but not with the mechanics

[pulsar zodiac]

What's the goal?

[quick dune]

alot changes when you go from soc to cs

[quick dune]

to make a good atmospheric survival horror game

[pulsar zodiac]

Hm

[quick dune]

for example

soc is very basic

cs arrives with weapon customization and artifact detectors

which soc doesn't have

cop is the most advanced as it has the most features

and probably is the most realistic in the series

[wheat galleon]

which game has the biggest map?

[quick dune]

soc probably

[pulsar zodiac]

Well since there's three should I be buying all three and playing in a certain order? Ideally I was hoping for just one game but I guess that's not what it is.

[quick dune]

if you want to buy all of them at once

play them in this order

shadow of chernobyl > clear sky > call of pripyat

[pulsar zodiac]

Is it janky? It looked janky.

[quick dune]

what is janky

[pulsar zodiac]

The game

[quick dune]

not really

[pulsar zodiac]

like rough

[quick dune]

it aged very well for what it is

[pulsar zodiac]

Alright hm. Does it ever go on sale?

Might pick it up if it goes on sale

[quick dune]

yes but very rarely

it went on sale uhh

[wheat galleon]

i mean u kinda gotta get used to the game if ur used to more modern games

[quick dune]

in the steam summer sale

[pulsar zodiac]

Dang that sucks

[quick dune]

it goes on sale when there's a big event

like an anniversary or something like an official steam sale

[pulsar zodiac]

Does stalker 2 have a release date?

[quick dune]

2022

other than that i don't really remember

im not that excited for stalker 2

[wheat galleon]

why not?

[quick dune]

all this paid outfit and skin stuff doesn't sound right to me

[wheat galleon]

ye that does kinda suck

[pulsar zodiac]

I feel like with this franchise they're probably going to do a careful job making sure the experience is an imoroved spiritual successor

or you'd hope so anyways

[wheat galleon]

but like as long as it doesnt affect gameplay that much it cant be that bad

[quick dune]

i hope for it to have a very good story

i don't care for multiplayer because it's great in the original games

[wheat galleon]

yeah but alot of game devs just make pay to win games these days

[quick dune]

my favorite must be shadow of chernobyl for the story and character

[wheat galleon]

i like clear sky the most, but thats mostly because its the one ive played the most 😂 😂

[finite dragon]

Most low spec gamers would get used to it better imo

Since every day they see is low graphics

[frank condor]

my fav one is call of pripyat cause it has updated graphics, better controls and pripyat map is the best one

[finite dragon]

Gotta say clear sky

And olr

[finite dragon]

Looks the same as Clear Sky

[opaque parrot]

SoC Pripyat s the best Pripyat
Combined with CoP's Pripyat it would be amazing

[opaque parrot]

There's no Pripyat in Clear Sky bro

[finite dragon]

The graphics I mean

Pripyat is hidden from the map, or just unexplored yet

By most stalkers

[opaque parrot]

Ah, true that
Pripyat was still unexplored tho, the path was blocked by Monolith and the Scorcher

[finite dragon]

before i go to red forest, i need to make some money first

need to find glowing rocks and sell them or use them

pretty challenging tbh

[wanton charm]

Wait you going there irl? Sounds dangerous

[finite dragon]

no im talking about clear sky lol

[quick dune]

man

once you get the better vintar

[wanton charm]

Damn you got me scared xd

[quick dune]

drop the one u have

[wanton charm]

Didnt know that there are glowing rocks

[warped yarrow]

is it normal for the game to chance brightness gamma and contrast by itself sometimes in shadow of chernobyl

[fair rover]

@wheat galleon nice name

[tranquil dust]

orzel

[wispy pier]

wait like if you kill all the poltergrists in the area why do objects still fly at you

[finite dragon]

they keep spawning

[finite dragon]

since their hitbox is ass, i decided not to kill it and just ran

avoiding getting things thrown at me

[subtle forge]

Depends on mod. Psy damage can wreck you if you try and get too close. I think they levitate a half-meter off ground, so usually I aim for that. Still. A pyro and 4 polters in Dark Valley lab can be annoying if all attack at once.

[fair rover]

poltergiest does not do psy damage afaik

[subtle forge]

In some mods. Not vanilla.

[wispy pier]

anyway to increase weight capacity in SoC without mods

[finite dragon]

nope

only in cs and cop

wait actually you can find a artifact that increases your weight im not sure

[shrewd dagger]

Exoskeleton

[finite dragon]

but you cannot run with exo but that's ok

[wispy pier]

where that

[wispy pier]

bruh walking simulator 2007 xD

[shrewd dagger]

Don't think you can get an exo before brain scorcher quest

[wispy pier]

ah damn

i guess i gotta leave some stuff

[finite dragon]

go make some money and buy it from the trader

[wispy pier]

sad i cant carry my trusty m4 knock off in chernobyl

[finite dragon]

I did finished soc once with exo,but at least i can cary more 9x39 rounds

[wispy pier]

dont think sodorvich owns high tech stuff lol

[wispy pier]

the whole game?

[finite dragon]

No lol

[wispy pier]

ah lmao

[finite dragon]

only barkeep sells it

[wispy pier]

idk what i should drop lmao

i have my makrov and my silenced gun

and then a m4 and ak-auto fire

[finite dragon]

once i completed the yantar mission, i dont really use pistols a lot so i sell it to barkeep

[wispy pier]

i kinda like the m4 and the silenced gun tbh

pretty coool and silencz

so if i get a abakhan should i drop my ak 74su?

[finite dragon]

depends because all weapons does the same damage

[wispy pier]

hmm

[wispy pier]

like for mid-game-late which one do you think its better?

like for long range and close

my ak keeps jamming sometimes

so eh

[finite dragon]

1. ak74 with scope
2. trs(i forgot the name) with scope
3. vintar/vss
4. svd
5. spas
6. l800

[wispy pier]

i have 2 scopes with me rn so maybe i can use both 74 and the abakhan?

idk im gonna borrow it from the military

[finite dragon]

you need to get a better ak it keeps jamming

[wispy pier]

do i die if i dont eat food? in game i mean

[wispy pier]

so no abhkan?

[finite dragon]

and abokan too i forgot to include that

[wispy pier]

now that i think about it i should have killed the ecologist in wild territory instead of escorting him

[wispy pier]

ah okay

[finite dragon]

uh you need to save him or else you wont be able to get to yantar

also try collecting artifact

[wispy pier]

oh lmao okay

oh yes the m4 is called trs 301 should i keep that?

[finite dragon]

sure but is is in good condition? you cant use it if the weapon condition is low

[wheat galleon]

thank you very much haha

[wispy pier]

yeah literally didnt use it much its near perfect

[quick dune]

sa avalanche best

[wispy pier]

alright i killed the psuedogiant

and now i have 3 guns

[finite dragon]

Finally downloaded wind of time

Im hypd

[opaque parrot]

Should I try A.R.E.A.?

Also, can someone tell me what was the name of that tool which I can use to load the addons?

I remember using it with Anomaly

To load the addons

[finite dragon]

Mod organizer 2

The step sounds mmmmmmmm orgasmic

Also the translation is whacky

[vernal magnet]

pre order page is updated > omghereitis.exe > notices it’s for Deutschland Standard Edition > you gotta be f****ing me

[finite dragon]

Well, wind of time isnt as good as i excepted

The translation is confusing as hecc

[dusty frost]

Oh boy the European preorders are starting...now if only it was the ultimate edition for the UK...soon I hopes!
