Is your language English?

[stark widget]

Yes

[feral bronze]

Buy from USA when their ultimate editions go up for sale.

[stark widget]

Ok, thanks for the advice

[feral bronze]

I think that's your best bet if your country doesn't get any.

[feral bronze]

Good luck

I hope you can get one.

I hope everyone gets one who wants one really.

[woeful cape]

just noticed that the uk links don't have any ultimate edition options

i really hope they're not sold out of eng ultimate edition stock already

[normal forge]

They haven't been listed yet

[quick dune]

imagine preordering a game without any real gameplay

[normal forge]

Win

[woeful cape]

ah makes sense

i'm not in the uk, just worried i'll miss it when it comes to NA

we shall see!

[normal forge]

Indeed

🙏

[stark widget]

Think of it as ordering memorabilia for a franchise you love- that’ll reconcile it for you

[quick dune]

i think of it as a little bit of money wasting for something you might not like

[finite dragon]

Bruh moment

[quick dune]

especially with stalker 2 it really looks like something new and not really something that bases off the old games

[finite dragon]

Perhaps that's true. Many people have really high expectations from it and some thing that it will be pretty similar to older parts

Which by look of it really won't

Won't be surprised if old gamers will be like "this is not Stalker" "Old parts were better" and etc

[quick dune]

i myself recommend looking at gameplay first but if you really value the exclusive content then go for it ig

[finite dragon]

You won't be able to satisfy literally everyone sadly

[quick dune]

that's how games work

[finite dragon]

I have a feeling that it will be the case with Stalker 2 too

[stark widget]

Honestly- as much as I love and hope for a great Stalker game, I’d be genuinely surprised if it’s as good as the current games. They hit such a fantastic blend of gameplay/atmospherics that it’s going to be really hard to match and improve upon it mate.

[quick dune]

yes

[finite dragon]

Don't know about if it will be better but it should at least be on par with modern games

[quick dune]

with the change of engine it wouldn't be the same

i want my xray engine stopped working

[finite dragon]

Hhhh yeah

Would gladly see that green bug again

[stark widget]

That’s exactly what worries me- modern games for me are basically identical with different skins etc… they really do feel similar. I work in the games industry too…

[finite dragon]

Sadly yes, I myself hope that it won't be too generic and look exactly like those modern games

[woeful cape]

this is it for me, i've put so many hours into the original trilogy but barely any money

[finite dragon]

Otherwise it would be really cliche

[woeful cape]

getting merch + supporting gsc is worth it, even if heart of chernobyl isn't what i want

[finite dragon]

I don't know about you guys but I just have a feeling that Stalker 2 may catch a lot of hate by old players that will think new part isn't like older ones

[stark widget]

I’ll be having a lot of forgivenesses for it if it does- it’s a tough circle to square to create a “new” Stalker rather than just updated. I LOVE Anomaly EFP too btw so am not constricted by blind loyalty. For me it’s honestly been the ultimate Stalker experience. But now I want the Ultimate Version lol..!!!

[flint blade]

Idc if it not like the old ones

[finite dragon]

I don't as well, but that doesn't mean others won't care about it at all

[flint blade]

Well let be upset

[stark widget]

There will always be those people but each to their own

[finite dragon]

But imo Stalker 2 isn't even supposed to be like older parts at all

[flint blade]

Dum autocorrect

I hate u

[finite dragon]

Older parts ended with Call of Pripyat

[finite dragon]

Sadly yes, because no matter what some people still will be unsatisfied

[flint blade]

Idk for me I liked the story but it wasn't why I played the game so much

[finite dragon]

I personally play Stalker games mainly because of athmosphere tbh

It's just perfect to me

[flint blade]

Yeah

[finite dragon]

Story and such things take a second part

[stark widget]

For me the emergent gameplay (google that) from the AI systems combined with the atmosphere and location is unmatched anywhere else- it’s all so good.

[normal forge]

All I’m hoping for from STALKER 2 is that it recaptures the same gloomy and dread atmosphere of the original games. That’s what got me into the series, the “post-apocalyptic” genre of the games is amazing.

[finite dragon]

Correct. I hope for same as well

Also to see how the story will develop, which characters will return and etc

[feral bronze]

Tbh, people can be upset however they like. They can choose to refund or not buy the game and move on. People who love Stalker 2 will enjoy it (or find it okay). It's not going to ever live up to the cult level fanatacism of the og games There will always be people who either love or hate sequels so many years after the original game / series.

[flint blade]

Just don't let it be like that other post nuclear war game

[finite dragon]

Even people who love OG games may not like the second part. Why? Because they will have too much expections from it

Hope it won't be same as Cyberpunk's story

[feral bronze]

It's only half a year ish until we should begin to see gameplay videos.

Once we can see the final product, it should make it clearer if each of us will like it or not.

[stark widget]

I’ve got high hopes for it and am willing to pay for a piece of gaming history- it’s by far my favourite game. If it doesn’t live up to it we have an amazing modding scene.

[flint blade]

Yes

[finite dragon]

Thing is, the more you wait for a game to get creater the higher expections you will also have from it

You will expect almost all things or at least majority of things to be perfect

And if they won't then you'll end up getting dissapointed

[feral bronze]

I don't get the whole "don't preorder" culture when people are buying collectors edition. The primary content of CEs is rarely if ever the game - it's the usually limited edition physical collectibles for a game or series you love. Either way, even if the game sucks, the rest of the stuff is something the person preordering wanted anyway.

[flint blade]

I really want to see new wepons

That's why I like anomaly so much

[feral bronze]

I go into games blind, really helps to avoid the hype and disappointment

[normal forge]

^ Same

[finite dragon]

That's... pretty smart

[stark widget]

It works for films too

[finite dragon]

Better not to even get yourself hyped in anyway but that's something many people won't be able to do

[flint blade]

But u don't want to miss out on the pre-order stuff if u like it

[feral bronze]

i actually loved a lot of games the past few years because I literally didn't even watch a single gameplay video or read anything more than the generic blurb about the game setting.

Whereas the same games were hated by many.

[finite dragon]

I just love OG Stalker games but waiting for the next part I'm like "oh cool new part will get released soon" and don't think how bad/good it may be

[nova crag]

Keanu Reeves plays Strelok 🤣

[finite dragon]

Lmao

[feral bronze]

I'm not saying CP2077 is an amazing game. I am not a fanboy. I'm just saying that hype and individual expectations play a huge role in making people hate games or be very disappointed about them.

[flint blade]

Pog keanu

[finite dragon]

Exactly my point

Community had a really high expection from Cyberpunk

Then it didn't ended as good as it was shown so it failed

[stark widget]

Been good to chat- going to go get drunk now whilst I hit F5 all bloody night

[finite dragon]

Cya later

[feral bronze]

I was able to enjoy it because I didn't follow any marketing etc. I still am annoyed at many of the shortcomings of the game - it's not what CDPR promised. However I managed to enjoy it unlike many people.

[flint blade]

Idk if it is like CP2077 I'm gonna like it cause glitches are funny to me

[feral bronze]

I am hoping Stalker 2 will be the same for me, even if most hate it, by going in blind for Stalker 2 next year.

[flint blade]

Like og Sonic 06 is hilarious to me when I play it

[feral bronze]

Not saying that it will be hated just that I think I will avoid being disappointed by managing expectations and going in with no marketing consumed and no videos watched.

Not everyone can do that which is fine but I find I have avoided that horrible feeling of regret playing a game that doesn't live up to your ideas about what it should be.

Personally I am just happy to be able to play a new stalker game.

[finite dragon]

Same here

[feral bronze]

I didn't think it would ever happen.

So this is really amazing to me tbh

[flint blade]

And I'm happy I'm supporting the team making it

[feral bronze]

That too. good point.

I was happy to buy the Ultimate because I love the world that the developers are expanding. That and the Ultimate has some really great goodies.

[still ridge]

I’m gonna watch all the gameplay streams

[flint blade]

Yeah the lamp is my favorite

Idk where to put it tho

[normal forge]

Mt

[flint blade]

My room is all white and clean It would look out of place

But who cares

[still ridge]

desk

[normal forge]

I have quite a bit of collector things in my room but I'll find a way

[flint blade]

I could put it next to my computer

[finite dragon]

Good idea actually

[flint blade]

I just hope it don't blind me

[feral bronze]

I'm glad they didn't try to do an old gen next gen multi release lol.

That would've been awful.

[eager edge]

Sorry if this has been talked a bunch about, I've been a bit out of the loop with pre-orders, are there still no retail pre-orders for America? Planning in getting ultimate, and while I don't see anything in the pre-order channel, just wanted to confirm

[normal forge]

There is currently only the Xbox Standard Edition on Amazon, Walmart, and BestBuy.

[eager edge]

Riparoni, guess I will keep an eye on it lol
I'm just ready to get it ordered

[normal forge]

Some others were saying yesterday that other editions are on the horizon because it has reached places like Australia and the UK before the U.S. which is unusual but promising.

[eager edge]

In GSC we trust

[quick dune]

you mean you like it because of the addons that are not officially made by the anomaly devs?

[solid dome]

There are pinned messages in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive

[eager edge]

Thanks!

[finite dragon]

Based.

[signal basin]

man i can't wait till i finish all the stalker games so i can replay em with autumn aurora

wait is anomaly compatible with autumn

[tired anvil]

Anomaly isn't even one of the games bro

[opaque parrot]

Lmao

[signal basin]

i'm aware. i didn't really wanna play anomaly originally, but it might be cool to play with autumn instead of replaying one of the actual games

just because it's not replaying and there's new ocntent

[tired anvil]

Could just play it standalone then

Autumn Aurora is for SoC

[solid dome]

Wrong in every possible manner

[signal basin]

ok soc replayed then

[solid dome]

Playing Anomaly before all 3 games is lethal option

[signal basin]

not doing that

i would only consider playing anomaly after i finish all the "real" ones

[solid dome]

That'd be it

[stark widget]

playing Anomaly and found an Itcher Artefact. I just got another one so now I have a pair of Itchers lol

[neon kiln]

I bought the most expensive version

On steam

[hollow tundra]

congrats???

[neon kiln]

To each their own, personally all that crap would just take up space

[woeful cape]

i pray that stalker 2 is more gameplay focused than metro exodus was

way too much dialogue and not enough gameplay to keep me engaged

not to say a shift towards story from the original stalker trilogy would be bad, i just hope that it's done in a more engaging way than they did with exodus

[delicate sparrow]

I really enjoyed exodus

[hollow tundra]

thats crazy your so cool bro

[delicate sparrow]

And I think comparing the two would be unfair to both series

They’re both good in their own right and differ in their gameplay choices

[flint blade]

Not exodus I'm talking about 76

[woeful cape]

oh lmao

yeah nah i trust gsc to not muck it up that badly

[main delta]

Why are preorder prices on steam in euros?

[delicate sparrow]

Hey, you responded to him. He’s just explaining why he thinks like that

[hollow tundra]

mhm and i responded

[neon kiln]

Oh cool i just noticed there’s a little image next to your nickname

Of the faction you chose

How’d they pull that off? New discord feature?

[grand pendant]

yeah

[normal forge]

Server needs to be boosted so you can apply them iirc

[neon kiln]

Oh okay

[gaunt island]

Anyone else feel like they should @ everyone every time they post something to #🖤┃s2-pre-order ?

Or temporarily make a pre-order squad group that people can join to be notified.

[normal forge]

Maybe another way to put it is a role for people who want preorder updates? @gaunt island

[gaunt island]

Yes role that’s the word I was looking for not squad lmao. Yes that would be perfect.

[solid dome]

No

Big portion of the people will leave the server

[normal forge]

Which he just clarified.

[gaunt island]

Yeah just make it optional

I’ve seen people in here wanting a better way to stay up on preorder info since I joined

[delicate sparrow]

Yeah it’s a good idea

[gaunt island]

A lot of worry premium editions will sell out fast

[solid dome]

I re-clarified it then

[solid dome]

Oi! I clarified it first!

[finite dragon]

[green oriole]

Will there be a US collectors/ultimate edition for PC pre-order??

[normal forge]

Yes

[green oriole]

Awesome I just haven't seen the option yet thanks !

[neon kiln]

Nah, just don’t mute the channel

Check it when there’s a message there

Simple

[solid dome]

@buoyant kayak Your question in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive Ask the store/retailer themselves, game developer has no control over that

[gaunt island]

You can’t turn on notifications for it, it’s too large

[timber kite]

why are there no uk ultimate editions available for pre order

[signal basin]

bros

threaded spsa 14

or chaser 13

[solid dome]

Why nobody preorders the standard?!

[normal forge]

Because people who get retail probably go for the most otherwise they just preorder it on Steam

[solid dome]

Though retail still doesn't have the game on the DVD

Kinda... sucks but nothing to be done

[timber kite]

i really want all the goodies

[gaunt island]

My internet provider is going to send a strike force to my house when I try to download that 150 gb

[solid dome]

You're just saving that 1980s porno collection on the verge of existence

if you play smart and careful you can save lots of meds and you don't have to go straight to Chernobyl after disabling scorcher

[signal basin]

is there a reason not to go straight to chernobyl?

uhh repairing gear and restocking on stuff?

and there's still pripyat

[silver fern]

cheers for the answer

[pallid kraken]

nvm

Why is the ultimate edition for PC down?

[wispy pier]

i need some low sized stalker mods

i cant download mods that are large in size

[blazing marsh]

hello my comrades :D

[finite dragon]

Hi

[normal forge]

They were already released, but are now sold out

[pallid kraken]

does that mean no more?

[normal forge]

It would seem so for now, #🖤┃s2-pre-order has the links you're looking for

[pallid kraken]

The pc ultimate edition is no longer up

only the Xbox

[finite dragon]

Are people really pre ordering a game without seeing gameplay?

[pallid kraken]

We got gameplay though, might not be much but the graphics alone convinced me

[normal forge]

I think they showed it at E3

[finite dragon]

The trailer has a super small amount of gameplay, barely warranting any judgement at this time

[pallid kraken]

I think the PC ultimate edition might be restocked

[pallid kraken]

if the game's buggy then its buggy, its not like Stalker has never been buggy

[stark widget]

anyone else having bad feeling about Ultimate Edition being available in the UK? 😕

[normal forge]

If it was available in Australia then I think it will come to the UK, right?

[stark widget]

really don't know man- hopefully. Just strange how the other versions are all listed but they left out the UE?

[solid dome]

picks up the SPAS, rains down terror

[solid dome]

Welcome to the age of blind choices

People preordered Diablo 2 Remurdered, a lot of them refunded

Doesn't equal any preorder campaign

STALKER 2 case is, lower your expectations to the point you drown them

[shell inlet]

I am a bit afraid, that Stalker 2 will be more like a Far Cry and less like a Stalker.
Because from what is shown in the trailer. Clearing camps, having Dialouge Cut scenes.
The Trailer does not really give me Stalker Gameplay vibes

[stark widget]

that's what I meant yesterday- the original games hit such a magical mix of all the correct elements to produce something truly unique. That will be so hard to reproduce...

[solid dome]

I can agree. Could have done better showcase with the anomalies and artifacts + combat - then again, maybe that part wasn't completely ready

[shell inlet]

I am also afraid, that you are a hardcore famous hero Stalker right from the beginning of the game, unlike in the previous games, where you were a f***ing nobody

[solid dome]

That screams storytelling - done wrong or done right

You can't figure until you play it

No trailer can tell you that

[shell inlet]

Stalker is not a gameplay it is an feeling :P

[solid dome]

Considering GSC haven't released any other game besides Blotchedssacks 3... they have the chance to do everything right, once

I think it'll be the 4A case

They done one thing right and they kept to it

Then again they never suffered finnancial issues and temporary closure, dunno how that reflects on everyone and the finanncial side of things in GSC nowadays

[shell inlet]

I somehow trust them, because Stalker has such a hardcore fanbase with so many mods (that are popular for a reason) to get inspired and analyse what the community wants

[solid dome]

Mind you zillion of people are in the same boat, it either keeps going or the wind turns it down

Expect the unexpected, people say

Or don't expect anything

[silver fern]

i literally ran straight at him and shot him in the back with my elimnator

[wispy pier]

arent 4a just split up from gsc

[solid dome]

They are

[wispy pier]

old devs of shoc

[solid dome]

My point was, 4A had Metro being their biggest success, they kept to their game and no Metro title was crap

Hoping this formula stays with the new GSC

[wispy pier]

so the peeps who are developing S2 never worked on any other stalker game?

[solid dome]

Some

[wispy pier]

ew disgusting scripted jumpscares

[wispy pier]

some of them worked on stalker games?

[solid dome]

We have the original A-Life developer back

So...

Ask Gajunas for names I don't remember them

Some old Stalker devs are back, but few

[wispy pier]

thats nice

i would have wanted strelok back

Got links?

[blazing marsh]

just kidding

[still ridge]

Citation needed

[vernal magnet]

glares at you

In all seriousness respect to 4A and the metro games they really do hit super hard and I’m thankful we have several Russian primary language games

That are super high caliber in the industry. They go toe to toe with western developers and I love seeing them knock these AAA companies around

[glad temple]

Yeah metro and stalker are two extremely good game series, I would consider them equals despite their vastly different goals

I really hope we’ll get to see what it’s like when modern GSC doesn’t pull any punches

[vernal magnet]

Yea I want to see GSC embarrass their Western Competitors and show what a true timeless semi simulator game looks like

Excited for more clothing merch as the release date gets closer. I need to flex on these fortnite lovers with max cheeki breeki lol

[tender torrent]

remember that Metro, there were developers who were part of SoC left for 4A Games and that metro has a style of the same taste as Stalker, but not in total freedom

[vernal magnet]

In my opinion metro has nothing from stalker in it gameplay wise. 4A tried Survarium first and we all saw what a travesty that was and that was trying to be stalker very clearly

Except exodus with the anomalies and very few examples like that

[tender torrent]

I have no idea if Will they continue to use the same engine system for every character, weapon, mechanic, I doubt it's the same, though

[tired anvil]

4A never did Survarium

Though, Survarium is the continuation of the cancelled S2, which is interested to think about

[fair crater]

i now acquired the laptop that can play the mother of all game

yet

nothing can fill the void (except stalker 2)

[vernal magnet]

I stand corrected. It was Vostok games

[tired anvil]

Yup

[vernal magnet]

Which makes more sense because Vostok was terrible and 4A was much better

[vernal magnet]

Agreed. A new engine and mechanics means the old game feel is going to be gone. That may not necessarily be a bad thing as what makes stalker a stalker game goes beyond the control scheme

[tired anvil]

I find Vostok interesting

[vernal magnet]

Interesting, yes. Poorly managed and botched? Yes.

Vostok comes off as an example of when you don’t cancel a bad project like 2011 S2. Vostok needed a Sergei to lead them

[tender torrent]

hope the sensations are good

[vernal magnet]

I know I’m definitely in the minority here but I actually enjoyed Fear The Wolves a lot in its early access when it launched. Shame the game didn’t succeed. Was probably Vostok’s best stab at a stalker style game

[tender torrent]

@vernal magnet S2It is a AAA rated Game, we risk having surprises on all levels

[vernal magnet]

The game even existing is a pleasant enough surprise for me right now lol

[tender torrent]

Existing !!!! 😂

We will surely have a next trailer before the end of 2021 for Christmas just for fun

[tired anvil]

They have Oleg who struck a deal with PUBG later on somehow

[tender torrent]

With Microsoft or xbox it seems to me

[tired anvil]

I don't recall hearing about Vostok and Microsoft personally

[tender torrent]

he got rich is famous thanks to this royal battle

still no S2 for Playstation 5

[finite dragon]

WHEN THE HELL WE WILL GET A-LIFE 2.0 SHOWCASE VIDEO

[tired anvil]

Who knows, maybe this year, maybe next year

[tender torrent]

very good question, in my opinion I think before the release of the game or after

the idea of ​​making an A-Life 2.0 system was a great thing

I wonder how this system actually works by itself

[vernal magnet]

And he managed to fumble PUBG hard too. Shame they didn’t get that game ironed out. Died before it’s prime

[tired anvil]

How'd they fumble it? Afaik they helped develop a game mode for it or so and got the stacks

[vernal magnet]

Crippling bugs and performance stability issues, consoles had abysmal texture pop in. Game got poor support and rightly left to die by the gaming community. PUBG was hot for a short time now it’s dead. It could have kept trading blows with fortnite and apex but everyone stopped caring about it

[ashen axle]

Elite Combine Soldier#6114 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vernal magnet]

If the extent of their contribution to the game was strictly a single game mode than it’s easier to give them a pass but I’m not familiar off hand with the development circumstances behind the scenes for that game as much

[finite dragon]

thanks for wasting 30 seconds of my life for nothing Mee6

[vernal magnet]

Yea it’s weird that a hard 18+ franchise has a blues clues regulated discord but here we are

[finite dragon]

im Really Annoyed by that
I mean
Nobody Here uses Swear words towards other users

Totally useless

[tired anvil]

Thank the media for it

[tender torrent]

PUBG would not have prolonged its success but will remain a base game which is pure battle royale

[vernal magnet]

Which media outlet?

[tender torrent]

Each game has its time and success, and it gets bored, but I think the game does not die 100%

[vernal magnet]

PUBG main risk would have been over saturation of battle Royale games and not being free to play but the other issues compounded into killing it all together. I haven’t heard anyone play or mention PUBG all this year.

Yet it’s equal competitors are still relevant and successfull

shrug it is what it is. A good example to other developers not to get too comfortable

[tender torrent]

The risk with other games is that it ends in the same way

[tired anvil]

Idk since it was years ago, but server got some good flak over it when it first launched a few years ago

[vernal magnet]

Oh wow. That is lame. People simply don’t know how to act right

It took me forever to find the official server even existed. What a shame the trolls flooded first

[signal basin]

what's the name of the scary pig mutant thing with the huge head in soc

[tired anvil]

Not anymore I don't think

[finite dragon]

f

[fair crater]

there are no freedom

no duty

only based and cringe

[finite dragon]

which is based

Their war is literally the bigest waste of time in the Zone

Both factions fight because of different ideology, and in the end they are making matters worse for themselves

amúgy valaki magyar?

Rather English

😱

[fair crater]

hope they make artifact based weapon

[finite dragon]

That actually would be pretty interesting

[fair crater]

yeet artifact

[finite dragon]

Wouldn't mind to see such weapon(s)

[vernal magnet]

That’s actually a neat idea

It could have different effects or properties depending on the artifact loaded into its compartment

It could be balanced by having the artifact be consumed from weapon use

[fair crater]

since artifacts are usually rockbased

might as well make knife out of them

but to think of it they dont do much damage other than giving radiation

[finite dragon]

That could be sufficient as well

Radiation of artifacts slowly but surely poisoning our enemies till they die

[grand pendant]

they're utilities, shoot someone with a piece of an urchin and a superficial cut may become a serious wound thanks to the bleeding, smth like that

i don't really like the concept though tbh

[spring fossil]

Noticed the UK preorders are out, but no links for the Ultimate Edition?

[tired anvil]

Just like France, it's the stores

[cosmic mica]

real talk tho is it gonna multiplayer?

[pseudo yoke]

Is there a "Noclip" or something in SoC?

I am stuck in X16

[gaunt kettle]

even Australia has preorder now

when can US has preorder

[silver fern]

😐

[pseudo yoke]

never

[stark widget]

UK still no UE…

[solid dome]

Why would you need that?

[pseudo yoke]

This one was

[pseudo yoke]

Id like to see dynamic relations due to circumstance in Stalker 2

Come across the Military killing bandits, help the bandits fight them off and they wont bug you

[silver fern]

[signal basin]

monolith suit or guardian of freedom suit?

picked up the freedom, i like the night vision

[midnight python]

The freedom memes make me wanna play them.

[finite dragon]

freedom suit but i suggest you to get a seva suit instead

[delicate sparrow]

Join the brotherhood 😎

[finite dragon]

Guardian of Freedom suit is superior

[signal basin]

alright

bros is it a long walk to the hotel?

[finite dragon]

Monolith Suit only has more electroshock

[signal basin]

supposedly there's a good suit in there

[finite dragon]

Which is 60%, whole Freedom suit has 50%

But other than that Freedom's suit has better stats than Monolith Suit, and in some stats they are draw

[finite dragon]

You mean Pripyat's room I suppose?

[signal basin]

guess so

[finite dragon]

At the decoder room there will be a Bulat armor so yeah

[signal basin]

I've just been convinced to use a seva till i get there

as i left my almost broken duty all environment suit in the scorcher

[finite dragon]

You can complete the game even with SEVA tbh

But keeping additional suit just in case won't harm

[signal basin]

hmmm or would it be wiser to assassinate twig and get that suit again

[finite dragon]

You could try that too

Afaik Twig's assasination doesn't have any negative consequences like reputation getting worse with Freedom and such

So it's profitable in every way

[signal basin]

ah sick

[dusty acorn]

Question, when are the stalker 2 ultimate edition physical merchandise being released in the US? Or am I late on this 😦

[nova crag]

You're not late - just keep an eye on the pre-order channel

[dusty acorn]

Thank you I will!!

[finite dragon]

Like this might be the most idiotic question in a history but how am I supposed to get flashlight in my helmet

💀

[potent bluff]

Asians store plz

[raven raptor]

Some helms already got one, or you can upgrade your helm to nvg and you'll get flashlight too

[finite dragon]

Do you know where I could find ones with flashlight already equipped (CoP)

And sorry for being too idiot

[solid dome]

Only suits with that

[raven raptor]

What mod you're playing

[solid dome]

No more helmets in vanilla

[finite dragon]

Gunslinger only

[solid dome]

Bruh

[raven raptor]

Guns huh

Wait a sec

[finite dragon]

Ik I'm dumb lol

[slate dove]

[finite dragon]

what do you guys think about Azazel Mode

[solid dome]

First, sounds goddamn bad

Second, masochists only

Third, say what you will

Fourth.... May the force be with you

[finite dragon]

ok i havent played it but it sounds fun

[finite dragon]

Anyone else watching #🖤┃s2-pre-order like a hawk?

[final wing]

Hey can anyone recommend me some add-ons or add-ons pack for anomaly?

[solid dome]

Nope

[finite dragon]

Well lucky you then.

[finite dragon]

As far as I know all helmet's already have equiped flashlights in CoP

In previous games too, I assume, but in those parts helmets and armors don't have 2 different slots but are rather in 1 complect

[solid dome]

Heh. I don't care about the merch. Merch doesn't matter, Game matters.

[wispy pier]

ok i pull up

EFP- then customise to your liking- for me the best Stalker experience mate

[wispy pier]

it would have been nice to have a slow bike in stalker since car would decrease time by 100

Escape from Pripyat

[finite dragon]

what does it do

[fallen dust]

escaping pripyat

[finite dragon]

just about everything

[fallen dust]

:troll:

[finite dragon]

I'll DM u their discord, you can find more info and download there

[solid dome]

I want a Simson motorcycle

Albeit german made, Simson cool

[wispy pier]

ride in the back of fellow stalkers

[near star]

if lab x-19 was so good where's lab x-20

[echo elm]

So, what exactly can I do about anomalies in SoC? I'm pretty new to the game, and I was curious about it.

[finite dragon]

Best thing to do is avoid them ofc. Throw your bolts regularly to activate an anomaly if necessary, that will give you some time to slip through it

[echo elm]

So, funny thing - I don't think I have any bolts, and if I do, I don't know the keybind to access them. lmao

[finite dragon]

You do have bolts

And in unlimited amount nonethless

Try pressing 6 on your keyboard

[echo elm]

Well, that explains that, thank you. I guess I didn't try all of the keys then if I didn't find it. lol

Or look through the controls diligently.

Anyway, I'm gonna go resume getting my face peeled off by bandits, thank you for the help!

[finite dragon]

Anytime bro

Also bolts in all 3 parts are literally unlimited

Wonder how characters are carrying them even 🤔

[echo elm]

I suppose that's an anomaly itself.

[signal basin]

it'd be cool if duty could have like 4x4 vehicles

with them leaning out with an obokan or something

[solid dome]

Secret territory

I have the keys for every other lab after X-18

Be it 19, 20 or 21

Those keys are locked behind 3 doors, I'm living behind the fourth

[near star]

so DLC in stalker 2?

got it

[solid dome]

Downloadable content in 2021 exists

For almost every type of product

Be it games, be it phone apps

[still ridge]

Literally every AAA game

[solid dome]

Literally all kinds of software

[fair crater]

another day without stalker 2

[normal forge]

^

[weak valve]

And 201 days to Stalker2 relase 😄

[stark widget]

Is there any clarification yet on will the UK get a retail Ultimate Edition or not? This wait and uncertainty is agonising lol

[solid dome]

It will

Agonising?

You're simply thinking too much over it

[weak valve]

agree

[stark widget]

Yeah maybe so man but I’m a huge fan of this game and would really love to own the UE.

[wheat panther]

when will we see real gameplay from PC version?

[stark widget]

The painful part is just not knowing when it’ll drop and having to keep checking daily for months

[stark widget]

“Soon” tm

Same but it appeared in stores hours before they updated Pre Order mate.

[solid dome]

I'm a huge fan too but I didn't even preorder...

You just lack patience I suppose

Hang tight!

[stark widget]

It’s not that- uncertainty is different to patience, that’s all. I’ll hang tight of course. Just hope UK actually does get UE man. Might as well order Collectors Edition now if not.

[finite dragon]

.

[solid dome]

Can't you order it from another country anyway. Importing + taxes but...

People do all kinds of crazy stuff

[fallen dust]

duty

[signal basin]

duty, monolith, freedom, clear sky, bandits, mercs, anything else < ecologists, free stalkers

TBH

[wispy pier]

would you guys have cutscenes in S2

[wispy pier]

true

[signal basin]

definitely

wait actually, no

i really really like how soc does these dreamy trance-like cutscenes

[wispy pier]

i like it too

[signal basin]

would be sick if they could be interactible

[wispy pier]

like different paths for each dialog?

[signal basin]

nah, you know how hl2 handles cutscenes?

[wispy pier]

only if integral to story

[signal basin]

nah in general too

[wispy pier]

there is none tho

[signal basin]

you can walk around during a cutscene, move your camera

still technically is a cutscene ig

[wispy pier]

ahh you mean that

[signal basin]

yep

[wispy pier]

i thought you meant the cinematic style cutscenes

but if you move around the dialog cuts-off tho

[signal basin]

no?

[wispy pier]

arent you in a big box where the dialog is shown

[signal basin]

nope. you're just seeing the characters talk to you and around you

while you walk around

[wispy pier]

i mean in stalker

[signal basin]

macintosh (1982)

[flat falcon]

reject women embrace the almighty monolith

[finite dragon]

Reject both

Reject everything. Every faction is stupid

Not every faction actually

Ecologists and scientists are smart af

And loners are just in the Zone to make a big cash for themselves and get back to normal world

[flat falcon]

man))

[silver fern]

reject everything, return to monke

[finite dragon]

🐵 🐒

[solid dome]

Is it a question?

What is a game without cutscenes?

[tired anvil]

Tetris

[solid dome]

Okay

What is an AAA game without cutscenes?

[finite dragon]

In Stalker 2, you are playing as a tree. Means that there won't be any cutscene in the game

[still ridge]

I think a lot of the cutscenes will be from the perspective of skif like in the trailer

Also I like how Skif actually has stuff to say besides minimal voice lines

[finite dragon]

I think so too

[signal basin]

man if i was in the zone irl, my purpose there would be for enlightenment, and to solve existentialism.

[finite dragon]

If I was in the Zone IRL I would die in my first days

Maybe even in some hours

[solid dome]

If I was there, I'd enjoy the view

Pripyat mostly

[still ridge]

We all would

[solid dome]

I refuse to believe that

How would you die if you're... dead already

We all would need an exorcist

[nova crag]

I'd just get drunk at the 100 Rads Bar 🍺

[lavish dew]

Hello I'm new to the stalker series

Currently on my first playthrough

[tired anvil]

Welcome. Which game?

[lavish dew]

Currently shadow of chernobly

[still ridge]

hope you enjoy

[finite dragon]

You are in for quite a ride, my friend.

I beat SoC back in 2013 myself. Just need to replay and this time beat Clear Sky and then onward to Call of Pripyat.

[lavish dew]

Hinds are scary, also doggos

[hushed aurora]

Wait until You meet the Controller

[tender monolith]

lol true word of advice try to explore and do side quests you need a decent set of armor, and a good gun, with lots of meds otherwise you'll just get 1 tapped, and controllers are scary af

[tame helm]

many dangers await

[lavish dew]

Radiation hurts a lot

[tender monolith]

indeed

just be like me weigh 59.9 all the time

and have too much medkits / iodine

[hushed aurora]

Use vodka

[tender monolith]

iodine is better

[hushed aurora]

It heals radiation, and keep an eye for artifacts that cure it

[sharp kestrel]

Question, is the ultimate physical edition still available for preorder?

[tender monolith]

I have like 20 iodine all the time and vodka weighs more then my gun

[hushed aurora]

Yeah but he's early Game so vodka is more common

[tender monolith]

really?

lol I just made it to 100 rads bar

I got like 10 vodka but it weighs to much so I sold it

[hushed aurora]

Well yeah, vodka is less effective but cheaper

So its a good alternative in early Game

[tender monolith]

k

[lavish dew]

Its hard to not be a loot rat

[tender monolith]

ngl tho iodine seems to be common

he gives you like a ruble for 15 aks

[hushed aurora]

Thats pretty normal

Just don't get overencumbered

[zinc scaffold]

does anyone know how/where i preorder the ultimate edition that comes with the figure and such i click on there links but all it does is sell me just a copy of the game by its self

[tame helm]

if you are a hoarder then you might get 100k ru midgame

[sharp kestrel]

I’m wondering the same thing

I can’t find something that doesn’t sell something like it except the copy

[tender monolith]

pretty sure they just haven't released it yet

[sharp kestrel]

Do we like not know the release date for preorder on those editions?

Like is it only available for copy and not like the figure or ultimate yet? Or is it available for other countries only?

[zinc scaffold]

ya there website is very confusing

[sharp kestrel]

Agreed

If those questions can be answered it will help a lot

[pseudo yoke]

Maybe go to the channel labeled #🖤┃s2-pre-order and use your brains a bit

[zinc scaffold]

From what i can tell it doesnt say anything about where to preorder it just where to get only the copy of the game

[sharp kestrel]

Well I did and only saw standard, it doesn’t answer the questions still

[tender monolith]

currently playing SoC first time what armor should I try to get im at 100 rads bar

[pseudo yoke]

Yes it does

[sharp kestrel]

Where

[tender monolith]

they are still working on it

[pseudo yoke]

If you don't see ultimate in your region, what does that tell you?

[tender monolith]

^^^

[sharp kestrel]

Is it not coming to ours or is it later?

[tender monolith]

probably later

[sharp kestrel]

Ok thank you

[lavish dew]

I just saw someone get sucked up in the air and explode

[tender monolith]

Stalker 101

[sharp kestrel]

That’s all I’m wondering, I appreciate it

[tender monolith]

Anyone know whats the best armor in SoC?

like for overall running, protection, etc

[tame helm]

SSP-99M but has bad dur (doesn't matter if you have suit repair artifacts if you know what I mean )

[finite dragon]

Welcome to the Zone, comrade.

Just another day.

Just started replaying Clear Sky, btw. Hopefully no save corruption this time!

🙏🏻

[lavish dew]

Is there a multiplayer stalker game

[finite dragon]

t h e r e i s
y o u c a n c h e c k t h e n e t w o r k s e c t i o n

[lavish dew]

Network selection in SoC?

[long harbor]

Just realizes Stalker mobile is a thing.

Looks really janky though.

[finite dragon]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in general is jank.

But it's the good kind of jank.

You know what else is good jank? Metal Wolf Chaos and E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy

[wispy pier]

dinosaur offline game

[wispy pier]

tf is metal wolf chaos sounds like a rip off of MGS

[finite dragon]

You're not far off, but not quite right either.

It's a cheesefest.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/820630/Metal_Wolf_Chaos_XD/

Let's just call it Japan's love letter to America.

[wispy pier]

"XD"

[finite dragon]

Not used as an emoji.

[wispy pier]

that was written while on drugs

[finite dragon]

True.

[wispy pier]

the one thing that i didnt realize is

how did they not recognize strelok while he was in the marked one form

[finite dragon]

Sidorovich never met him in 2011 personally

[wispy pier]

what about others

[finite dragon]

as for the others? Probably yes and no
Rostok ain't accessible during 2011 hence no recognition from the bar dwellers

[wispy pier]

did not a single duty member/ bar man not recognize strelok

[finite dragon]

None

[wispy pier]

what kind of poltergrist is this strelok guy

[finite dragon]

Find out later if you want to read

[wispy pier]

i wanna make a review of shoc

but i dont have footage so im just gonna give a 30 second review

[finite dragon]

Just put "SoC is based"

[wispy pier]

shoc is good the story is off deus ex and you walk for most of the time

but the level design and sound track is good tho

so 6/10

[finite dragon]

how is it based from deus sex

[wispy pier]

sigh

[finite dragon]

Never played it because 93' graphics

[wispy pier]

there

[wispy pier]

i wanna slap you in the neck rn

[finite dragon]

ok kool

[wispy pier]

and poor vodka on you and light it on fire

[finite dragon]

Why don't you piss on him while you're at it?

[wispy pier]

nah they would get the dna

[finite dragon]

aight time to jack off on him

[wispy pier]

tf is a oasis

[finite dragon]

Find out

[wispy pier]

oasis more like oasus

[finite dragon]

the deserts

[wispy pier]

@finite dragon reed it

[finite dragon]

There's nary a reed to be found here, comrade.

[finite dragon]

made to join them, not to go against them
Right and kinda wrong as well
Since strelok was sent to actually kill someone other than him
the PDA about Kill Strelok is a malfunction from the funny

[wispy pier]

well jc was also ment to join them but he went against them

[finite dragon]

SoC is walking, walking walking till you filled in with the story in the mid game
There's an encyclopedia if you didn't know which you can binge on reading

Lore out the as- butt.

[finite dragon]

lore out the ass

[wispy pier]

doesnt encyclopedia only give info about mutants and local folk lore?

[finite dragon]

And here I thought it would trigger automod

[finite dragon]

No

Ass

It also has some lore components

[wispy pier]

A$$

[finite dragon]

[wispy pier]

ah yes how the chernobyl went out

[finite dragon]

[wispy pier]

cock

[signal basin]

skipped around in pripyat and entered the npp without exploring anything other than the hotel. am i missing a lot?

[wispy pier]

nope

[finite dragon]

and also when you played CS
do you feel like when in 2011
strelok's voice was different than the SoC variant

[wispy pier]

i didnt even get close to strelok in CS lol i quit

[finite dragon]

Sad man

[wispy pier]

it ran like toaster with 3 legs shot off

[finite dragon]

Were you playing the DX10 version?

[signal basin]

oh yeah also, if i play cs and i really hate it, would i be missing a lot of i went right to cop?

[wispy pier]

pripyat doesnt have much to explore in SHOC

[wispy pier]

nope i dont know tho

[wispy pier]

you gotta play shoc first tho before going to CoP

[finite dragon]

Yes

[wispy pier]

CS is a prequel to shoc so you lose out on nothing

[signal basin]

nono, I'm already just about done with shoc

phrased it stupidly

[wispy pier]

cool

play CoP

[finite dragon]

play CoCK instead

[wispy pier]

CoP just feels like a long one quest

[signal basin]

i gotta give cs a try first though

[wispy pier]

it feels so left out and small

[wispy pier]

well prepare to get naded by 30 enemies and getting ass accuracy

and it runs like toaster most of the time

[signal basin]

i hav good pc doe

[finite dragon]

[wispy pier]

t h a t s cool

[finite dragon]

l2p moment

[signal basin]

which way should one go in Chernobyl NPP

[finite dragon]

what?

[signal basin]

which way

[wispy pier]

give me a fookin pc that can run this piece of crap of a game above 13 fps when in gun fight

[wispy pier]

what?

theres only one way through pripyat

[finite dragon]

buy one then if you have the cash cash

[wispy pier]

give me money stoc man

[signal basin]

i got such ridiculous radiation protection, i ended up just running so far in NPP i got oob lmao

[finite dragon]

I'm not cash man

[wispy pier]

i literally ran to objective because i keep getting mowed down by gaus rifles and helicopter

[wispy pier]

so am i man

[finite dragon]

[signal basin]

map doesn't seem to show where i am

[wispy pier]

yes

thats because its programmed like that

you have to go further into the chernobyl to it start working again

[signal basin]

ohh you mean you followed the arrow

[wispy pier]

y e

stock up on meds and ammo before going into sarcophagus

or you will quite possibly regret going in there

[signal basin]

11 normal medkits, 6 science medkits, 3 military medkits, 25 rad meds, 400 rounds + 50 shotgun rounds

[wispy pier]

thats bad

[signal basin]

22 bandagea

[wispy pier]

you only have 20 medkits smh

what suit are you using

[signal basin]

the one in strelok's hideout

[wispy pier]

a bandit jacket?

oh you mean the seva one where you found the papers in pripyat?

[signal basin]

it's not a seva, but yeah

[wispy pier]

yeah it should hold good

[signal basin]

skat 9 iirc

[wispy pier]

not against gaus rifles tho

[fallen dust]

skat 9 is epic

good armor

[wispy pier]

that night vision tho

[fallen dust]

berill best

[wispy pier]

anything that has night vision second gen is my fav

[fallen dust]

leather jacket has nv gen x

[wispy pier]

no vision gen x?

[fallen dust]

good armor, u can withstand an rpg explosion

[signal basin]

is sarcophagus worse than brain scorcher?

BS was really rough to get into

[wispy pier]

yes

trust me ive been in there

the place is full of radiation, theres a gaus rifle holding monolith right near the entrance, exoskeleton monoliths running FT-2000M

theres a stash in there that consits a soul artifact and others with a exoskeleton gen 2 nv

[signal basin]

exoskeleton cringe, just don't get him lmoa

[wispy pier]

well it can improve with your skat 9 suit

[frail spire]

Just improve the scat suit

[signal basin]

how

scat on it? why would i scat on the skat?

[finite dragon]

better

because scat enhances the SKAT durability

[lavish dew]

Skate?

[finite dragon]

what

[finite dragon]

what

[wispy pier]

got somewhat of a mediocre game in cs 1.6

221 kills and 113 deaths if im correct

deathmatch go skrr

well i guess im still worthy

[finite dragon]

try play half life deathmatch

let's see how long can you survive

with toxic czech people spamming noob on chat and the gauss god

[finite dragon]

[cold flame]

Anyone of you fellow stalkers got experience with the books ? I was thinking of getting some, as the Metro books are also quite unique compared to the games

[finite dragon]

Roadside picnic? Its very different to stalker games

[ivory gale]

I noticed the UK 🇬🇧 S2 preorder page on the S2 website has been updated to list Game, Amazon and ShopTo. None of them are listing the Ultimate edition, only Game is listing the Collectors Ed under their Game eXclusive range.

[pseudo yoke]

Yes

And?

[cold flame]

@finite dragon I have seen unofficial stalker books, not the original inspiration, even if that one sounds very intriguing

[finite dragon]

Huh, can you link them to me sometime when youre not busy? Would like a look

Hi guys

[grand pendant]

[signal basin]

is a g37 good enough for the sarcophagus?

[finite dragon]

yeah

the accuracy is pretty good

[pseudo yoke]

Lmao @ the guy who needs map markers for stalker soup

[normal forge]

delicious

[finite dragon]

It's good enough for every stage

That gun is pretty universal

[signal basin]

alright

what would the most ideal weapon for that stage be?

[finite dragon]

For Sarcophagus?

I would say a weapon that you are good at

It's beatable even with an small AK if a person is skilled enough

[gusty pike]

Bring lots of ammo.

[finite dragon]

This is 🔑 right here.

I legitimately brough 2k ammo for a small AK to complete the game, lmao

Though it did took a while but was worth it

[signal basin]

i got 300 or 400 in my g37

and 50 shotgun shells

[worthy fable]

You'll end up finding f2000s which IMO i like more, uses the same ammo as the g3

As long as you can hit headshots and have ammo any gun is viable

and plenty of those monolith there have gauss rifles which you can easily steal with some ammo

[mint wadi]

theh hthehth eh go go go down down s od do po low grow mow show goo goo goo ga ga ga

[lavish dew]

Whats the sarcophagus

[normal forge]

spoilers

[finite dragon]

It's what they erected over the Chernobyl NPP to contain the spread of radioactive contamination and potential fallout.

[lavish dew]

That sounds cool, stalker is such a cool game

[finite dragon]

It is. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is what led me to go on a research binge about the Chernobyl disaster years ago.

Was moved to the point of goosebumps and tears at times.

[wispy pier]

did you kill the controller in agroprom

[wispy pier]

i died twice there because i didnt notice a grenade fallen right next to me

[lavish dew]

Lol I had 6 grenades so I got them all between a box car and the municipal building so I started chucking grenades

[lavish dew]

What

[finite dragon]

The controller.

Did you kill him?

[lavish dew]

Idk who that is, I shot a guy with a beret upstairs then yoinked the briefcase

[finite dragon]

@wispy pier he probably gone back the way he came

I just kinda went over a hill and I was there

[pseudo yoke]

Oh

You didn't go into the tunnel beside Mole

[lavish dew]

I did, killed all the bandits and went back up

[pseudo yoke]

Lol

You didn't go down the circle stairs

[lavish dew]

I started to but then I thought to go back to the trader and then I was like "oh I should grab the briefcase"

[pseudo yoke]

You missed like everything about the underground

Lol

Go back down

[lavish dew]

But y tho

I have pretty much everything I need

[pseudo yoke]

Sure

[lavish dew]

So from what I understand I have to spam frags or knife it to death

I'll go down there just to fight it

[pliant perch]

You need some stuff that are down there to progres in the story

[wispy pier]

AH happens

i also thought of going back then realised f it and just ran at him

[pseudo yoke]

hel itteraly has the quest to go into streloks stash 100%

[wispy pier]

theres a pendrive i think and theres AK full auto thats pog

[finite dragon]

and then take docs, i mean i killed all military first too

[wispy pier]

same

[finite dragon]

[wispy pier]

theres a document in the 3rd floor that sidorovoch asked

[finite dragon]

[wispy pier]

[finite dragon]

agropom

[wispy pier]

in streloks stash

[finite dragon]

wrong

[wispy pier]

there is

ah its a stalker suit

mah bad

[finite dragon]

probably played a mod before SoC

[wispy pier]

i didnt

[finite dragon]

ok

hm

gonna hop in soc and load into my prev save file if it was true

[cold flame]

I still wonder how CS in the beginning and the military later on got their vehicles through the zone, even if you let conscripts walk up front, you run out of men after awhile

Especially if you consider CoP, not being able to notice the shifts of anomalies

[finite dragon]

there is a bandit suit

but there is also a STALKER suit

cuz i remember there's only 1 stalker suit inside the strelok stash but i don't remember seeing a bandit suit in there

i think its a black trench coat

[finite dragon]

🍴

[silver fern]

i wonder gsc really sell the s.t.a.l.k.e.r drink irl

[finite dragon]

💯 for one

[pseudo yoke]

Stop spoiling stuff for him you spergs, either he'll figure it out or he won't

[finite dragon]

We arent?

How is saying what loot is in the stash spoiling?

[pseudo yoke]

He'll figure it out himself?

[signal basin]

man I'm pretty sure I'll get eventually so annoyed of the sarcophagus voice

it's not the actual voice that bothers me, it's the volume mixing. I'm concentrating while trying to kill a guy, and i hear this really loud man in my ears

[pliant perch]

There are no trenchcoats in SoC

[still ridge]

How dare you reveal the contents of a stash

you’re such a terrible person
