Same Hungary isn't ready yet either.
Preordering is bad
Preordering is bad IF you preorder every game. My opinion is that if you are a fan of a game franchise then its worth to pre order that game (I my self love World of tanks so when they had the collectors edition I bought it and I don't regret it)
So pre order is bad depending on who you ask 🙂
Can someone give me anomaly map in swamps in CS?
Or even better
Anomaly maps of all locations?
new pre-order 🇵🇱 , 🇸🇮 , 🇫🇷
preorders, preorders everywhere, but not one in NA 😞
glad other stalkers can get them though
preordering is useless if u still don't know if ur gonna like the game or not
i'd just wait for normal gameplay and not trust the trailers
We still know nothing about gameplay. 
we had a gameplay trailer wdym
You mean the E3 trailer?
yea
That hardly had any gameplay, and they had god mode on.
It's not really indicative of gameplay,it showcases some mechanics tho
It's 0 gameplay
Mostly engine simulation
Anyone who thinks it had gameplay had his brain taken out, inspected for errors and glued back... the wrong side

yes im monolith
Brain in reverse, so to speak
Reversed brain?!
Jef we know you have grown another brain, you're the smartest Monolith
2 brains operate better than half one
i was basically making a statement that we do know a bit more than nothing about gameplay
If I had to guess @acoustic snow is the dumbest,they botched his operation and had to cut 60%,sad indeed
yes. you will get a duty seva suit if you completed the quest
All you had to do is ask the freedom guy where to find the grenade launcher that's it
you dont need to kill people in there
i dont need to get the launcher and give it to him?
you need to ask chef inside the freedom base. he will tell you where to find it and then once you find the grenade launcher, go back to rostok
or u can keep the launcher if u have a better suit
i have a eco sspm 99m
should i bother getting it?
no
Why would you care about Freedom rep? 
because freedom is clearly the best faction
No the mercs are better
get the grenade launcher if u like superior firepower @wispy pier
but don't turn it in to duty
try & find out, i'd reckon
Do you really need that much firepower with a grenade launcher? I feel like it's too much
Its never enough firepower 
But this is STALKER! Only what GSC have to do is just old stalker but with new story
Thay cant screw it
It can (it should!) be buggy (but not more buggy that SoC even if its possible)
Can looks ugly and dirty, but one thing i need is atmosphere from original stalker trilogy
and mods support, because no on can play stalker without misery mod 😄
Except it isn't a remake, thank god.
Will Stalker 2 have anime cat girls? 🤔
modders will make catgirls
big male slavic breasts with physics
ask freedom smuggler for some flinstone gummies
overdose on anything if you try hard enough
join bandit
𝘿𝙀𝘼𝘿𝙇𝙔 𝘼𝙉𝙊𝙈𝘼𝙇𝙄𝙀𝙎, 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀𝘿𝙐𝙈𝘽 𝙁𝙀𝙈𝘽𝙊𝙔𝙎, 𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙍𝘾𝙃𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙎, 𝙍𝙀𝘿𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙎, 𝘿𝙀𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙎, (((𝙈𝙀𝙍𝘾𝙎))), 𝘾𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙎𝙆𝙔 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘽𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙎....𝙉𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙋 𝘿𝙐𝙏𝙔 𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙏𝙎 𝙏𝙍𝙄𝙐𝙈𝙋𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙈𝘼𝙍𝘾𝙃 𝙏𝙊𝙒𝘼𝙍𝘿𝙎 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙉𝙀𝙏
Nah it's not
The SEVA is better instead of the Duty one (tried it in mid game and it's crap)
Otherwise go to the bar and get an exo 
Terrifying
like bandits 
piss off
e
Bandits are wholesome
Renegadis gods of zona
vanilla better
Fax indeed
but i get a good suit tho
alright then imma not take the quest
because i heard red forest is full of freedom members and i dont wanna get shot on sight
ahh i saw it in comments lol
once you're in red forest, you will meet a new encounter
new encounter?
excited
oh crap
@finite dragon skull gave me a quest to kill the freedom sniper should i accept it?
no
yes freedom peeps are in red forrests
thats monolith
but in wiki it say freedom
should i just kill sniper and leave peeps do the other work
if you kill the sniper, every freedom member will be hostile
that still makes me hostile to them
hmm should i ignore it?
the quest i mean
just dont do it. dont even join skull
if you did tell him about the duty strike, you and a few freedom members will go and attack them
Either way they're renegade soldiers
Not the faction Renegades
if i dont attack then and the freedom does all the work do they still become hostile
Just rogue soldiers doing coup sorta thing
It's the same to the Exo
Only Duty variant
ah
lmao duty armor is mostly just painted on armor
freedom boys failed to kill duty
and now i got skulls epic gun
Why there are not anymore the channel for each language? (French, polish etc. )
Is this the right channel for asking questions?
@finite dragon Depends on what?
okay
so I'm at the freedom base rn and there's this pseudodog quest where u just have to shoot a pseudodog and then return to the commander
and it's not my first time playing clear sky so I knew a sniper would be very helpful in this mission (bc u can shoot the pseudodog before he produces his copies)
so I went to the freedom base and killed a freedom guy to get his sniper
I knew that the base will get locked and I have to wait until it opens again, that's the same for every base
and the base is open now, problem is that the commander, trader and barkeep have disappeared so I can't continue my main quest
and I already saved my game
my autosave is overwritten too btw
Well that's something you absolutely have no need to do
Reload a previous save and use a shotgun or if you have an AK or LR on you
First look at where the pseudodog is sitting and approach him as fast as you can to deal with him
Otherwise you'll be stuck in that situation for God knows how long
That's a bug that rarely fixes itself
There's no real fix for it, other than reloading a save
oof
You can also try reentering Dark Valley but I doubt it will work
where did pre order go?
But you can try, better than reloading a save if it's far behind
If that deoesn't work, reload a save and don't kill any Freedom members next time 
lol I just noticed that too
Try asking in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive
@stark widget
the only saves I got are from previous times playing clear sky where I played very different XD
I can try
Try going to the Garbage and then to Dark Valley again
I like bandits more and I got a lot of stuff I could sell XD
That's why I always save on every single playthrough
maybe I killed the barkeep and thats the problem idk I just killed everyone who was outside
PRE ORDER..?! Hello?
That's why you don't do stuff like that
ayy i finished the quest
In call of pripyat u get the best gun by doing that
which one
now i got a psz universal protection suit from duty
getting the bulldog 6 quest
You didn't need to do it in order to get Bulldog 6
should i sell this suit or should i keep it for later?
Now Freedom is hostile 
well i do know you can go to bloodsucker city to get it
nah they werent -)
the kill was silent XD
Wait what
Every time I tried it whole Freedom faction turns hostile
@pseudo rivet What magic is this?
you have to knife him
Yeah I tried multiple times
right click and boom he ded
the knife is underrated in stalker
you need to make sure that skinflint guy is in his room
idk how i managed it twice
but hey the room was kinda crap with their freedom suits
You should load back to a previous save and help Freedom
but duty would make me hostile tho
They Chad, after all

Makes the game more fun
Besides, they deserve it
gotta run to barkeep without getting shot by 300 duty members

Easy
alright imma
Duty deserves it?
Just shoot first
try that next save
Han Solo those guys
they got exo skeletons -(
use grenades
X
alright brb imma do that
Have fun 

preorder chat disappear?
Read lore
Yeah, apparently
I assume they made it invisible for a sec
Bandits are king
might be updating it soon
Where is pre-order tab?
Why
No clue, they're probably updating it
Took it out back to the old shed

Oof
So I just realized that I got two other saves than quicksave and autosave
The first one is directly after entering the hole with 0 medkits, 3 shots shotgun ammo and 6 bandages (last time it took me nearly half an our to do this crap with a knife)
The second one is at the end with a coilgun so also not worth loading skull skull

So I just realized that I got two other saves than quicksave and autosave
First one is directly after entering the hole with 0 medkits, 3 shots shotgun ammo and 6 bandages (last time it took me nearly half an hour to do that **** with just a knife)
Second one is at the end with a coilgun so also not worth loading

Entering what hole? @finite dragon
@pseudo rivet i gotta say freedom is weak
like duty's groza beats them easily
and i helped freedom btw
The Tunder S14 has extremely rare and heavy ammo and is meant for close range combat
and somehow they got the gun and ammo
Better to take an enemy out from afar with normal ammo
Sure they have
Doesn't mean that's always the best option
their armor is weak for considering other factions armor
using da sgi 5k 🙂
That's a good gun as well
wait can someone explain freedom lore?
TRs-301 Gang
But let's be real, AK is the best 
ofc
after helping freedom and then i killed lukash and max and half of freedom base and died -v
You going free for all in the Zone?
of course xD
D
Lmao
Government is trying to cover up the truth of the Zone and Freedom believes that the world deserves to know what is happening over there. They're researchers who believe that Duty is offending the Zone and making it a worse place for everyone, seen how mutants always attack Duty wherever they go and anomalies start to spawn in their areas
ohh so the duty is trying to make the zone worse?
Without their knowledge, yes
and freedom is tryna prevent it
They don't realize that's what's happening
damn them fools dont understand
barkeep siting in his bar and doing nothing
thamks for explaining
Shaman Gang, tho
who dat shaman

oh damnn lucky boys
I guess you could
ight
im 4 kg overweight
Skill issue
That's what exo would fix but you won't be able to sprint in it
Is anomaly worth playing?
u literally have the best scientific suit
but what if break
my suits never broke
my suit is like near perfect but im still scared so
gotta save
only if i can repair ;;v
okay
uh im not yet in call of pripyat
possibly an exoskeleton if u have a stash coordinate
bruuu
he means location
ohhh nvm sorry lol i forgor about the pripyat location
yea the one that’s based of real life just like the power plant
that sh*t slow doe
it’s the best armored suit doe
and if u have fang’s stash on ur pda u can get an upgraded one
if u have a sniper or a sniper scope
uh i didnt meet him yet
use it in the radar
u don’t meet him
theres got to be snipers in red forest?
ah oh yeah he died
radar?
there are enemies that can spot you 0.5km away
with rocket launchers?
in pripyat, yes
god crappy
there will mostly be infantry with assault rifles and snipers in radar
i killed another guy in freedom base for gsc eh gun guy named skinflint
it keeps jamming like my ak didnt jam when its near perfect ;-;
my skill kinda peepee but okay i can handle it
u just aim and shoot basically
Just another day waiting for the retail version to go up for USA
Patience is key brother.
What happens when i kill the stalkers with the tunnel army guy in clear sky?
Quick save and find out 👀
Your vision remains augmented
You shall not see the gore
Sdalgur
Time toto clear out military checkpoint
Because i need the cure for man
Opa
It have been done
I didnt died once
sorry for intterupting i just wanted to say my vision is augmented
PAUL, I thought you were a GEP gun
How did X-16 go?
Did the ghost mutants give you a hard time?
i know the feeling man
I just want to secure an ultimate edition
yea i'll have to pay import tax if there's no retailers here, and thats 24%
that's awful lmao, hopefully it works out though
jeez 24%?! that's nuts
Yeah its kinda nuts that theres nothing about America yet
I just wont get it if I they dont add American options
hey
Any news about DLSS? I look on Reddit etc. but I found nothing
Same in Hungary its also high
Let me guess, American?


Almost guaranteed. RTX is confirmed and they go hand in hand
Thanks a lot, my last fear before buying is gone 😄
I hope so
I hope it's at least increased so we can have bigger guns
I would not fear my friend
And I really really hope they dont attempt to make it main stream
I’m also hoping for strict carry limits
Maybe increase to 60-65 to 70-75?
Cuz I saw a lot more attachments
And more than probably more loot
And hopefully a way repair guns and gear
You can already repair them except in SOC, so you probably will be able to in stalker 2.
Oh bruh xD
And I'm playing soc, so yeah okay
Cuz I found this hella cool hazmat suit with armor
Maybe some "skill" or rare artifact should give +10 carry limit 😄
For giving the black and red dudes the bulldog 6 or something like that
It's hella cool but dying
Seva suit is similar to that one. You can buy it from the doc in yantar for about 45k
I think it has the same stats, just looks different
Yeah ik but it's like 10% less on almost every stat
Still amazing, but yeah
I just enjoy the fact I manages to get 3 artifacts that together let me run and jump indefinitely cuz my stamina gets replenished faster than it runs out xD
And I can run for a solid 20 seconds when overcumbered
Considering STALKER is a "running simulator" it really helps a lot lol
Lmao, if only I wasn't a loot goblin
Just sad that corpses despawn if I save and quickload
With 4 moonlights you can run forever even when overweight
I had a corpse with like, at least 50k worth of ars and stuff and it despawned on me
And took all the gear along with it
Oh and I can't drag corpses any more
never tried the loot corpse strat, always just took what i could fit on me
Dunno why but shift f doesn't work
maybe i should try it lol
Looting guns is not worth it imo
I just loot ammo and sell that, its usually light and gives a bit of money
And I usually stockpile artifacts and mutant parts and i sell those in Yantar
I usually have 500k roubles by the time i get to Pripyat lol
Yea, brain crashed for a moment there lmao
I first time playing clear sky, is in this game harder find artifacts? In first 2 hours in soc I have full 5, but in cs after three hours nothing
Its a bit harder, but if i recall the artifacts there have "fixed" spawn points
Go on top of piles of garbage, in garbage, you will find artifacts there.
Hey any one who is from Netherlands, we got on bol.com Stalker 2 available, all version but not ultimate 😫
Look on that tomorrow, thanks
If you can't find them, you can look online. There is a wiki with the locations of artifacts.
It's so much easy with internet, I want my first walkthrough without bigger help from wiki etc 😄
In terms of game lore, artifacts come from anomalies. So just look around 'em and you might spot one. Good luck!
Thanks! 😄
Or as they say. Good hunting, STALKER.
I noticed he buys them for way more tbh
Worst case scenario, the guards at the second compound you get in the game but artifacts for quite a bit
Not as much as Yantar but yk
Cs?
👀
Such is life in the zone.
Well, I haven't played clear sky yet so I can't have an opinion on that
I'm going at them in the release order so yk
can anyone else get the pre-order for US right now? I keep getting the same avail soon message
Us nothing yet
Didn't they just drop the US links in the pre-order channel?
May be a dumb question, but the retail version will bind to Steam right?
i believe retail comes with steam code
Excellent
I'm sorry but why do people want retail versions when they're just gonna use them?
Cuz like, who would buy the game from someone else when they can buy it cheaper from steam?
Unless people wanna loose money selling it at a power price
Very confused tbh
They want the feeling of when they buy something they have it. Can't blame them I am this kind of person, but if there is a good price on steam for the same game then I'll go for steam
Wouldn't the retail price be more expensive tho?
And more time consuming to get?
Than just grabbing the steam one
Yes it can be for a new game. But people still want it and I know why its a physical feeling.
It's hard to explain. Its like compairing chocolate and vanilla lovers other prefer vanilla over choc
I also love the 5 second cooldown on a chat that's slow even when its active, lmao
I don't mind the slow down makes reading the messages easier
3 seconds would be nicer tho, anywho
Yes they like the feeling of having the case, art cover, maybe a manual and of course the cd
Okay yeah, that's pretty cool
Do more expensive versions come like in a box with stuff too or ?
The feeling of getting something for your money and not just e-receipt.
speaking personally, ya boi want the lamp
No they might be thicc but thats it
Lamp?
Yes personally that lamp is dope
Would look nice to the night vision googles from cod
Ultimate edition of stalker (Retail) comes with a lamp
Bro, stalker socks with energy drinks on one pair of socks and other foods on each pair
I'd buy those in a heart beat
ya its sweet, the rest of the stuff is cool too but the lamp is sweet
Yeah this edition is really cool I like the barrel box it comes in reminds me of Metro Exodus box
*sadness noises* for me then
Go to the site and go to the ultimate retail
Greece might just be one of the last ones
I'm in Hungary and I'm waiting considering preordering from poland and just hoping that the writing on the papers inside will be in English. But I believe that it will come just need to keep a close eye to the pre-prder tab on discord
Doubt that it'll be in english tbh
; - ;
ya same for me in Canada, im just waiting to see if I need to order from a Ukrainian website and ask family/friends in Ukraine to receive the ultimate edition and ship it to me, or if there will be availability here
Why dis they have to make the game main stream
I bet they'll let you fast travel too
Smh
You already can fast travel in 2/3 games
Skins are MP, not gun or anything like that
Wait what, wdym fast travel???
The game has hype and a following around the world so I belive they will be available just have to wait
I think they will all be either EN, RU or UA, but who knows
Like, at will at random??
Hello, guides
you pay those dudes to take you between the world zones in CS and COP iirc
That explains a lot
Also if they have a stalker themed barrel thingy
Couldn't you technically build a pc in it?
Crazy ventilation probably but still a pc 👀
Could vacuum seal it with a liquid cooling system
Nah man it will be made of cardboard
Yeah I bet that costs more than all my organs together
Easier to buy a barrel and just do it like that
Dam
I need some new information of STALKER 2 pls...
We do too bröther, we do too
you dont want to hear more about......Stalker 3?

Monolith best faction?
Bandit best faction, you do whatever you want
no
P.s. bandits don't rely on propaganda
P.s bandits rely on each other to live
Renegadis gods of zona

Free Stalker best faction
Anyone can turn into a bandit
And being hunted
Either way piss off Ed
Renegades better than bandits
Frick factions, what's your favorite food item

bread
I'll have to go with tourists delight
Even though I give my mans one of each and a bottle of vodka after every mission just becaus
have you ever wondered what's inside the tourist delight?
maybe sidorovich kills a random loner and cut him into pieces and put all of the body parts inside the can


Bandits hunt everyone else so who cares? Plus renegades are just bandits who want some cause to justify their behavior. Bandits don't care about little things like that.
Bandits are Chads
yes
What if the real sidorovich is the friends we made along the way?
what if the real bandits were dead
what if I don't have artifacts at all

Oh and I forgot, I don't hunt for artifacts
I kill

I also
We all kill for fun
Everyone hates bandits but everyone hates Monolith more
True true
Bandits never die, we've existed since the beginning of humanity, and we'll be around until it's all over
I hate em too because why not
Ah jk I hate every faction
Bandits existed in..... the middle ages
and they evolved to the legal bandits, named mercenaries or something
then one seperated because of it's retard
Either way, that's half of Santos' you talking bout
Don’t make me go to Pripyat and do very whacky and uncharacteristic things
Do it then
Pripyat ain't my home
balls
Ballingrad


sup who pong
eh went "fine" there wernt ghost mutants tho im not playing anomaly
Stick with the prod prod with the prod
Get yo'self some colours dude #👥┃faction-choice
loner baebyyy
Is it me or does the guns seem to not have much recoil
yes in shoc theres lil to no recoil
i think theres mods for extra realism
Is there any addon that adds more artefacts to base CoP?
Oh
i feel like most new horror survival games are scripted jump scaresz

stalker 2 gonna be set in the outskirts of Belgrade i already know it
npc in stalker scared me a lot
them NATO bombs did a number on us

bloodsucker at agroprom and controller at underground agroprom go brrrrrrr
@finite dragon you talked about female stalker right? which game?
soc, cs and cop don't have woman
ah
wait r34 is sus
wish i can feel the stalker atmosphere for the first time again
the atmosphere is very depressing
and very nerving
shoc almost made me feel like im in chernobyl
Wtf recommended requirements for stalker 2 RTX 2070????
Do devs realize that half of the playerbase is in Russia and they won't be able to run the fkn game
Literally 60% of people that played SOC or Blue sky won't be able to play Stalker 2
What is this bllshit
i have a 2070 but i know so many people that love stalker but don't have it
dude they used dx8 in 2007-11 so they gonna use dx12/11 in 2021 so
crys with gma 3000
like most reviewers care about graphics
so we cant do nothing unreal engine 5 😭 #pressFXRAYENGINE
you could probably get away with lets say a 1650/980 ti
i don't get it 100 euro and you get steam avatar frames and story expansion or
uh for addition cosplay stuff
and a extra quest that doesnt make much sense for me
like do you get a cd for the extra quest?? or just a ini file that unlocks it
yeah ok whoever has that money to spare for an extra quest and some cosmetics good for him
cosplay material
that's fine but like this requirment stuff is so dumb
Like IRL cosplay or what
yeah irl cosplay
200 GIGS! this is gonna be the new warzone
oh ok that's cool but I'm not a weirdo who'd walk in a stalker suit around town

well thats a huge world gotta render all of it so 
Metro Exodus was like 50gb
true
thats a liener game
It's not just in Anomaly
Those are in vanilla games too
You will definitely encounter them in Red Forest (Radar)
you mean the emission things in red forest?
ah pretty sure they dont do damage expect mess up da vision
Yeah, but there were some in x-16 as well if I remember right
Yea they don't do dmg
They only do damage in some mods tho
no mods gang
You playing on Master difficulty?
nu
I play on master
i never touched any stalker game so i played on stalker difficulty
is there any map for training my aim in stalker?
I love Metro
But I hate people who compare it with Stalker
Two different games, but both are awesome
i hate people who compare stalker to fallout

But more than that, I hate people who think Tarkov is Stalker 
Oh that's even worse
same dev, different game
tarkov more like using 16 gb of ram
Fallout - american stalker wannabe
wait tarkov was made by gsc?
no
FO released before Stalker
I'm talking about metro and stalker
I know
ah gsc's child company like a split up one
expect metro devs made it from a novel
But with the last ones they try so hard to bring the same vibe that Stalker does
fallout4?
Yup
idk i never played any fallout games
fallout 1 and 2 is great. Good story. Bethesda f up fallout game
fallout 3 and new vegas i heard it was good
dont talk about F76 that sh*t sussy baka
Fallout 3 > New Vegas
i don't like the gunplay that's all in fo3 and vats?
i heard people say otherwise 
its optional i think idk
Those people are the kind of people you never trust
you can't shoot normally. too kill someone you had to use faps to aim
no you can also aim normally you need to press V to change to vats i think
bruh moment thats like 60% of fallout fan base? idk
why do i know much about a franchise i never played before
it hurts me so much whenever these casual players call stalker Russian fallout
it makes me want to eat radiation
bandits amiright felllas

controller running at you in agroprom underground is the most scariest thing i can imagine
i think i saw a video on it that scared me as hell
Once i got a good pc, I'll try play eft. i want to see how good the game is
its gonna use about 16 gigs of ram -) so get some extra if you wanna run it at max
stupid game and its ram usage
bad reloads
Jk they do be cool but it's kinda robotic
like is it like battle royal? and winner gets viktory royale?
Yeah
Only you need friends or solo
ah wasted potential
Either way you don't parachute tho
Just spawn and fight for loot
you are scav and you need to find crap and find the extraction point
you just spawn in?
kill people and that's it
then go back to your hideout by tunnels or wtv they call it
a bad lore but okay if its fun
It's Iraq but Russia
it's just a battle royale game. it has no story
w h a t

You kill PMCs and some of SCAV raiders
NPC's?
real players wtf
ah
Russian fallout
You know PMC groups that are deployed in Iraq? and some resistance fighters eh?
I don't recognize ukraine as an independent country
idk man im not good at geography
Take that

isnt kazakastan in middle east
you mean in near china?
Bordering between the Big Land in the north
ah okay lol geography 0
China is in East Asia tho

@finite dragon the duty suit that was given to me beats the eco ssp-99m in some ways
plus the eco suit is broken should i take it?
no? why would you bring a broken suit with you
and eco suit is not a suit for a fight
it only protects you from anomaly not from bullet
so just sell it
That new web looks good
I mean it looks good but the ultimate edition is on a Croatian site.
Does that mean that it will be in Croatioan? The printing on the items I mean.
alright
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chernobyl Ultimate Edition bientôt en précommande?
alright i sold it
more Central Europe sellers? any idea when
Alors là grand mystère
Not in France for now, you have to wait 
Car impossible de commander autre part 😭 et j'ai loupé sur Amazon allemand
Just Poland now, I think week max two weeks for more Europe countrys
Hope you are right as the Polish sites don't ship outside of Poland
it seems that they renewed the graphic look of the site
In the worst I can go to Poland, maybe 10 kilometers away 😆
Good for you I have to cross Slovakia if I just want to go into Poland
Any idea for US? I keep checking every day but the site looks different over night. I keep checking retailers too, but nothing
@weak valve nice pfp 😅
You too, really like it 🥰 🤪
Yea it got some updates, but still not available just yet. Gotta be close I hope
the pain of waiting...
a channel to post stalker related pictures m8 pls
Yeah, I've been waiting so long, lol. I started playing through the originals again even with all the other games I'm trying to finish 😆
im playing with no mods should i be worried on pripyat level? because i heard it crashes saves
What game?
everything is gonna be ok
SHOC
ah phew
i never get any crashes in my playthrough
woah you also play with no mods
yes
i never played stalker with mods as my first playthrough
many people choose stalker complete
yes personally i like to experience them vanilla
many people complain about the guns in soc. Just aim for the head
that's the only way to win the fight
yes thats pretty simply lol
thats gonna require 250 gigs then 



im hoping the same
im pretty hyped ngl i wanna try anomaly and other mods
and see how the change the game
mostly i wanna finish the franchise and then play the external mods
i wont pirate it tho -)
i dont like anomaly and there's reason but i recommended you to finish all 3 games before you jump into anomali
alright
most anomaly fanboys dont know that soc, cs and cop existed and they are very dangerous

pripyat is set in the same place as shoc right?
All games are set in the chernobyl exclusion zone
i was expecting other places but okay always ready to visit the zone and scare my self
There are other areas you can explore
I believe pripyat has the most areas to explore

That was slick the way they updated the website to not have physical pre orders
Only digital
hehe oh boy
Bruh
Yummy hot dog.
Got me. Lol
It’s still hidden though
That’s an easy out for them to not sell on their site “if” stock issue is a problem
I don’t like the new look. It’s more cumbersome to navigate than it was before
Maybe i am naive, but can i find some old box editions of stalker? i just want expose them on my shelf 😄
In my country isnt nothing :/
diet sosig*
eBay and get ready to spend hundreds
What do you mean old box version?
If you have money anything is possible
I found original CD version of SoC with the manual, disk, and case for $25
Just box 😄
What is box? Like the CD case?
That's what I looking for
Cd
There’s a difference between boxed and dvd copies
I’ll dm you what I found
Uhh, In that editions were maps etc
I really don't know how it looks like, cause I can't find it nowhere
I look on eBay, thanks stalkers
Multiple versions exist with maps
We need to know if your looking for the German, Russian, polish, English, or UK version
Stalker physical editions are a rabbit hole my friend. You should see my shelves at home. All stalker
I’m curious, what is it called? I’d like to find what they cost
He was looking for a regular dvd copy for his region. Which version are you asking about?
Not limited, i dm you with link
do any of you remember when SOC (I think) was being announced and their website at the time had a clip playing with lightning/thunder and a song playing while you were navigating the site?
I remember leaving the page on just to hear the music. I'm pretty sure it was Stalker, but I'm not 100%
@pseudo rivet
OH nonono, not again
Thanks, gotteM

i cant help but poo my pants on this X-18 level
yes and the autumn aurora mod is making it more scary
this is my first playthrough as well
Ya really should get your first play through without mods :/
Otherwise the game just loses its spirit imo
^This, basically
hmm tbh i did try the new game plus mod
which as far as i know doesnt change anything bar the sleeping ba
but the gunplay and the hud was kinda poo
so i tried the AA 2.1 mod since i saw that it looked very nice
The old game feel is the whole point
and now here am I
Its an old game, that's what you bought
I personally love the fact it has old graphics
the reason i enjoy stalker is not the story tbh, its ok i guess
It's the immersion
but its the atmosphere above all, and better graphics helps atmosphere
thats why i entered the zone, the setting and the atmosphere
And the old flashlight is just amazing
its also why i really like some stalker art, it looks so eery and creepy
Ye
And the fact it doesn't fill the entire screen is just amazing for no actual reason
I just like it
And I love the fact I maxed out the graphics on the biggest resolution and I'm still doing over 600 fps xD
but unfortunately the orginal game doesnt have the graphics that i would like, the setting is amazing tho
I would never change the graphics
oh yeah thankfully with the mods i have i still get 100 fps plus
i mean the improved graphics is the main pull for me for stalker 2
even the leaked XRAY 2.0 stalker 2 build had some amazing lighting
That'd ruin the game imo if you played with the graphics
And idk about the new stalker
Its gonna run on ue5
So its gonna be amazing
Can't wait to launch it and hear my pc take off
my setup literally is just one level off the minimum specs
i do realize ill probably have to go down to low settings for even 60 fps
but the footage ive seen is so beautiful
and frankly the graphics in the trailer cannot be matched by the X-ray engine
Us/eu eng stalker2 ce gonna launch for preorder and be instantly oos right on launch day :(
shhh
don't you put that on evil on me
It'll be like the nvidia cards. :(
sure hope not
I sure hope not lmao
Quick question does anyone know if the retail version of stalker 2 is sold out on the website or us it still not available
For us its still unavailable to my knowledge, i have been checking every day every few hours for the better part of 3 months now, just hanging on the "soon" shit, at first it was a few days then it became soon and bleh. So now I'll just believe it when i see it
I swear every time I look into this chat the first thing I see is something about the retail version of S2 or some pre order concern
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I do see it quite a lot
I know what you mean snowcow but I think a lot of us are just keen not to miss out
Totally understandable
Quite a lot of long term stalker fans want the tasty loots
This is one of the most exciting games of my entire life, I'm sure people want to get their hands on it
Yeah, I've wanted a second one for probably a decade, then lost my mind when they canceled the first second, so yeah... I'm all in on this one
I just haven't played another game that's quite scratched the same itch, tarkov is incredibly atmospheric but there's a lack of bolts being thrown into anomalies
That's what I play too, several years now, but yeah even that isn't working anymore 😆
I think things will get better when streets is out, I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the game so I can't complain too much
Oop, someone did an oppsie and got their message deleted by the bot
HAHA that was me, slipped with the old profanity
Ahh
Love the psychotic laugh at the start
Really ads a bit of spice to the sentenc3
I was saying about tarkov and another map coming out before streets is released so god knows when that'll happen
I think that's enough eyeballing the pre-order channel for this evening, take care all
im more excited to see what Battlestate games will do after they complete tarkov
their Russia 2028 seems heavily inspired by the Stalker series
Question about stalker soc:
In that game u get the gsi (the dark green/black ar) and you can find an attachment that's an underbarrel grenade launcher, my problem with it is that I can't find any ammo for it anywhere at all!
Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find any?
look up steam guides, you can find all them secrets there, im pretty sure the granade launcher ammo is a rare find
if i recall correctly, you can find some of them inside them lockers in the underground lab (not sure which one), where you can also find the monolith armor (or was it military??)
@finite dragon are you still a m*d translator or are you done with such atrocities?
They might be finished with Tarkov in 2028. Which by then we might actually have the entire ZONE spread across the Earth.
also i think that GSC game world should implement a snow version of the zone, and there could be like winter specific anomalies, it would really amplify the loneliness of the game
dont think that would be geopgraphically correct
Dinamic seasons would be cool but it would be wierd with the in game time perception
Mods will cover that for you
There is a funny Christmas mod for shadow of Chernobyl
When did they change the UI for their main preorder page? Looks really nice
I just realized the cutscenes in SoC were all created with only English in mind
Unless if there’s different cutscenes for Russian and Ukrainian
Since everything is lip synced to English
good spot. i never noticed that
I was watching two videos of the endings in SoC back to back in Russian and English and noticed nothing in the lip sync changed which i found pretty interesting
Which tbf creating those high quality cutscenes in 2007 must have cost a lot, so you better make them synced around the market you think it will sell most in
Which brings an interesting point that it’s very likely GSC believed the English market was the one the game should be designed for
Despite tons of dialogue being Russian only
Such interesting theories can come from the smallest details
GSC's market idea go br

em how to open gunslinger files?
howw can i play stalker anomaly or Call of Chernoby?l
install the mod

Wait till December. If you've got no luck I'd just order the digital one
I need the Ultimate edition 
cosplay material
my county is not listed on retail preorder list
is there a way i can order online from some europe place ?
You will have to wait since the only countries that have still in pre order list don't ship outside of their country. Short of it just wait. 🙂
ah okay, so in future some of them will be able to ship outside of their country?
Probably or there will be a retailer that will have it in stock in your country
Just watch for it in your local big game stores like gamestop etc.
i want the ultimate collectors edition , i doubt they will have that here 😟 well i hope i will find something at the end
thanks for info ! 😊
Np I want that as well and I'm waiting for that as well
Where are you from?
Serbia
The chances of you getting a local retailer are a lot higher than for me :(
All we can do is just wait tho
where are you from?
Iceland
Uff
We almost never get any cool collectors editions out here
You could use a mail forwarding service maybe?
idk last time with doom eternal colectors we ordered PC wersion and the whole countly only got PS4 editions..
My hope is that i can just order it online somewhere
I was hoping a UK retailer was going to be announced for the retail ultimate release, but it's looking less and less likely at the moment. :(
The preorder website has been replaced with just a splash screen.
I'd be really surprised if we didn't get those releases in the UK so I've still got my fingers crossed
Now just saying, what if, and I say, what if
For stalker 2, they showed animations for eating food and using health items (skippable option and if you do multiple only the last one shows)
Thoughts?
I mean I like the stipulation of only the last one and not every single time
If you used seven bandages I wouldn’t want to see every single one wrapped around my arm
But hey it could add to immersion
I like the idea of bandage/medkit animations. Will make the game even harder, you are kinda like superman when you just can you spam medkits.
We're doomed brother
a channel to discuss lore?
here

wait, so are there modders out there who have access to the X-ray 2.0 engine?
yes
and are any of them creating mods with it
