Why did I start playing this game during midterms
BTW have the S2 system requirements been released yet
ye
For months now
Alright time to fight my first controller
good luck
where can i share my gameplay at on here?
The controller is not fun to fight
Had a sawed off and a makarov first time in the tunnel, hated it
LOL I'm happy I was well equipped
Reason: Bad word usage
I'm assuming blood suckers
Bloodsuckers are the talk humanoid creatures with the squidface that run fast and can turn invisible
Hallucinations are… well hallucinations that can go through walls and are transparent
It was blood suckers
Shotgun is effective, depending on the game they are more resistant/invincible when cloaked
Is there a way I can repair my weapons and armor, also what relics do you all run I'm playing soc right now
Also just had my first death
You can't repair weapons or armor in SoC
There is a bug you can exploit
to do it
But at that point just get new gear
Jesus how long a boi gotta wait to order his ultimate edition box :pepehands:
About 100 years or so.
Just keep checking #🖤┃s2-pre-order every day along with your country's major retailers' websites.
It’s been 84 years…
And I can still smell the fresh paint...
The China had never been used...
Titanic STALKER 2 was called the ship game of dreams and it was, it really was....


Gonna have to wait 1986 years for that one
this little move is gonna cost us 1986 years
lol
Roadside Picnic beer available online. For those who don’t know
elaborate
Never pre-ordered anything, but if we pre-order through steam, the physical stuff (backpack, etc.) they get shipped to what address?
If you pre-order through Steam you only get the digital goodies, nothing from the retail editions.
@dawn galleon
None, because Steam is digital
If you want the retail goodies (like the backpack) then you would need to purchase one of the retail editions which can be found in #🖤┃s2-pre-order @dawn galleon
For U.S. retailers there is only the Standard Edition while the U.K. has up to Collector's.
«Souvenir Zone Permit» what is it?
Unfortunate. no word yet on a US Retail Ultimate edition?
Not yet, but it is coming soon.
If you look in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive pins you will find more information.
oke, thanks 🧊
Oh, sorry, that was for @dawn galleon I am unsure what that is o:
But you could ask that question there too
if anything, sorry for my english, not from uk ;3
Hey, i got banned a long time ago in the anomaly server and im wondering if anyone knows anyone to try to talk to him to get unbanned?
@pseudo rivet
Talk to who
Tonight’s gonna be fun. Just did a clean install of Windows 11 and everything has gone perfect. Which is shocking. So I’m gonna pull a pro gamer move and introduce this OS to the power of X-Ray Engine and wait for the fire

so im a little confused, the deluxe edition is 150 canadian dollars so you can get 2 DLC, and the base game is 80 dollars... so the cost of the DLC is 70$?
like i could just, buy another game for that price
or am i like confused about something
oh wait nvm, the deluxe is 110, so the DLC would be around 40$ i guess
Any word when the Ultimate physical edition will be available in the US?
nope
snekk
ASAP
no UK Ultimate Ed yet anywhere?
Is this the Brexit server?
There's the 3 other versions- just not UE?
I am no expert, but the different versions, especially the retail ultimate edition has to have a considerable lead time on production.
Given the month long „soon available“ statement, i wonder if the physical editions will come out before release
And yes, i know 
@quaint shard continue your argument
Argument invalid weed doesn't protect you from anything
no proof = argument considered invalid
average freedom fan running out of proof (literally every argument
When did they let nerds into Duty
you probably know nothing about suit protection
you look like a person to say you can survive an rpg warhead while having a leather jacket on because you survived one in soc
Problem ?
stoc moment 🤣
Indeed
someone got proved wrong and can't admit it
Someone cant beat dogs and automatically goes to laughing at Freedom's armor
simply an ai problem
oh you mean the dogs in rostok?
duty realises mutants come back in higher numbers unlike you thinking the zone doesn't expand (solid proof in pda note in soc
average freedom fan wanting to open the zone so it expands without problems consuming the entire Europe vs average duty enjoyer thinking about the consequences
Simply an ai problem? Sounds like average Dutier denying the fact they can't beat a pack of dogs in a fight.
Average Dutier trying to become Military bcz unknown = bad
yeah at least duty has actual military training and can use a gun unlike freedomers with no training at all as they're mostly loners
Yet you still weren't able to capture Yanov for yourself
boys, boys
just reminding you that freedom killed a stalker for being annoying
accept that bandits are way better than you
Bandit detected
Opinion rejected
better than freedom because they're not letting stalkers enter garbage, so the stalkers might come back to cordon or go leave the zone entirely, disturbing the zone less
good luck with your never ending war though
stalkers disturb the zone just by being in it
Dutiers the Military wannabes
freedom opening the zone to public would result in hunters of them entering the zone
hundreds
hdrrhfghh
some of those stalkers certainly would go to cnpp
what does freedom do anyways, i heard you guys were struggling at the barrier
disturbing the zone so hard causing a 3rd disaster
killing so many people the zone would be locked down by Ukrainian government for good
radiated weed
or if not Ukraine, then the United Nations would notice
UN on it's way to do literally nothing than watch
you cant cope about your bad faction choice
Neither can you cope you ain't part of Military
im fine with people liking freedom but boy when they're trying to say it's better than duty using nothing but weed
military is different than duty though
Poo poo Freedom arguing on their own propaganda broadcast.
they're heavily nerfed by gsc
As much as it is Duty still trying to blend into military
military would wipe out the stalkers if not their stupidity gsc gave them
I decided to play all 3 games at once and it gets boring really fast. 😩
death
how can u play 3 games at once
downloaded 3 games at once
i deleted clear sky and SOC like 5 mins ago
cause i finished
it gets really boring
its better when you play the games one by one
starting from soc because it's nice
5 mins into the game and already getting shot by mercenary for pulling out a gun.
Bruh
I started from SOC, CS then COP.
great
I'm currently finishing COP but it gets boring really fast.
Hey what you guys think what game GSC will make after stalker 2, another stalker game or a new IP?
prob another stalker game
Probably go quiet for another 13 years
I'm going to get a new pc enough to run stalker 2
hhhhrhg grammar
It'll meet minimal requirements
ive never played stalker 1 and i was wondering if its still worth playing now?
anyone knows any anomaly server mods? im trying to get unbanned
EFP?
Wtf
what is EFP i do not know
OOOOOOOOOOOOH lol, i dont know that mod
Killeon#2836
metro have scripted cutscene = metro bad
even tho metro is made by the old devs of shoc
@tough quartz hey mister, i would like to get unbanned from the awowawy server, how do I go about appealing? I was banned a long time ago, i believe either for a political or nsfw meme
Could've tried DM'ing him for this stuff lmao
why, im fine with everyone seeing it
im not sending him my bank account password or anything
(i dont even have a bank account, F)
cant get robbed if you dont have anything weSmart
send the information thats in the back of your credit card to hlep him get the epic viktory roayale!
np ill also add the exipration date!
when you are in stalker franchise server and all memes are in russian
task failed successfully
good man
imagine thinking to yourself youre a stalker fan but you dont know russian
F for you bro
Yea tbh this game might make me learn Russian
Stalker isn't even set in Russia, so thinking that is pretty valid
Is it set in one of the slav states or the Ukraine
its ukraine but actually noteven that its soviet union
so technically back in those times all that was "russia" anyways
It's just Ukraine. It's not the Soviet Union
So what dialect is it
And no, back in those times it wasn't all Russia lmfao
no, when the CNPP accident happen, the area (pripyat and surroundings) was part of the soviet union
Yes, which was part of the Ukrainian SSR
what
We need to get the Russian channel in here, they have some explaining to do
i mean what are you even saying, youre saying an element of the set, is not an element of the set
ukrainian SSR was A PART of the soviet union
I wasn't taught in depth Russian history in school
I'm saying that the Ukrainian SSR wasn't "all Russia"
Yes
I'm saying that Colorado is Colorado, not that Colorado is Nevada
is it canada now? idfk im from the EU
@limpid burrow Yo bro
The Soviet states were all autonomous
You basically said that the Ukrainian SSR was Russia just because it was under the USSR
aight im done you guys have a nice day
Which is dumb
I just wanted to know what language to learn lmao
Ukrainian if you actually want to learn the language of Stalker
Go russian because most memes here are in Russian
Is that what's in the game
ukr and ru are very similar languages
its like english to american , truck vs lorry
Game is set in Ukraine, game is made by Ukrainians. If you learn Ukrainian you have an easier time understanding Russian. If you learn Russian, you won't understand that much from Ukrainian
what its insanely similar
It's similar in ways, but not to that extent
what is this garjunas guy smoking, i wanna buy some
seems I should have learned Ukrainian all along instead of Russian 
Ukrainians can understand Russians, Russians can't understand Ukrainian
privet kak dela -> a ukrainin and a russian will both understand that
Yea well so will anyone in Eastern Europe
nope that is NOT true at all
Name one country
its totaly different to say romanian, croatian
Because they weren't under Russian rule lmfao (and russian is not a 2nd official language)
Those are also South-Eastern Europe, and I'm aware of them being different. But a lot of people there can understand Russian
there you go 2 right off the bat, in croation it would be zdravo, kako ide or something, idk how its in romanian but its totally not slavic
Again, Ukrainian and Russian are similar sure, but it's not like they are clones
Romani is slavic 
i hate talking about almost-politics, idc ok im done sorry
Romani is Romance, Croat is Slavic

yes cuz this guy is liek "b-but this is south eastern europe not eastern, they were not under socialist control" blah blah
idc literally
Then quit carrying the conversation
Yeah I am just doing my daily sarcasm here
@Everyone on a video????
Win.
Get used to it
I thought it was a new dev dairy
Is UA Ukraine
I wish
Yes
COME ON IT BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE THE TRAILER
give us a new dairy
i wish I could speak russian,
Why is Ukraine and Russia separated
all the good stalker mods are posted on russian forums
loaded question
Differences in language.
Anime pfp+nitro
Can we buy the Badges separately after release?
Like between speaking "American" English and English
I want my freedom badge without buying the game
you mean all the horrible mods are posted there?
ah
English is still english though, this is not a really good comparison
Cope!
And?
Unless Ukrainian is indistinguishable from Russian, it is not the same
You shouldnt be allowed in a based server
ukranian lexicon has about 60% similarity
Alright I didn't know this discord allowed bigots I'll leave
Oh okay
mutally understandable but not what the word
some stuff about certain youtubers and bloggers who are in the partner program and some various things picked up at stalker con
the cards having some info codes or we
based but not cringe pilled, lets gooooo
Too bad I can’t understand anything
the cards have 3 riddles and a radio code message on them
I guess ru discord got some tasks in-game and outside with exclusive stuffs
Been a while since ive been in here, does americans have retail preorders yet?
Not yet
Any new footage or videos come out recently?
Did anyone else notice that the collectors edition contents changed? It no longer has the backpack or the artifact lamp?
Dunno
Collector's edition never had the backpack iirc
Only the ultimate
So website error ig
Even then, it doesn't have the lamp
Never did
I am dying because I want the ultimate edition to drop in the US so bad
Mt
i know a site that sells them but it's not from gsc. i can dm it to yoy if you like?
Sure
I can't be the only one who's sorta worried about this games development. Release is in April, and we haven't seen any real gameplay. Each trailer we have seen seems to have super watered down combat (no leaning, being able to just charge into an open room of enemies, etc.) pre-orders are also being pushed pretty hard for a game we know next to nothing about.
I want to be optimistic that things are going well, and that the game will both be good, and feel like a genuine stalker game, but it's pretty difficult to right now. We've seen tech demos and a heavily filtered E3 trailer so far.
E3 trailer had easiest difficulty and poor AI for best cinematography
just ordered S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 collectors edition. BIG FAN. You don't see me getting the debit card out very often 😉 Good luck STALKER fans. Love from Northern Ireland!!
The last comment and then Lianne's are just too perfectly timed lmbo
yeah LMFAO
I'm not knocking people who pre-order, or are excited. I'm just personally worried about how things seem to be going. It's going to take more convincing before I'm ready to just drop money on the game yet.
i preach that same message haha i just love STALKER yeeeooo get 'er bucked
Even if it sucks or doesn't live up to expectations, it's nothing mods can't fix (although that shouldn't excuse it if the game just comes out bad)
now yer thinkin like a STALKER
man
i just want to pre order the ultimate edition somewhere that will ship to iceland 😭
GSC please let me give you money
If you are one of "those" players that are in the past then it will suck for sure
Because I bet ton of old fans will whine about second part not being the "same" as older ones
But S2 isn't even supposed to be like older parts imo, that's the point. Though no matter what some people can't be satisfied either way
I'm not expecting it to be a carbon copy of the first 3 games
I'm just expecting it not to be bad
Me neither, it should be a different game entirely
But on par or even better than older ones
I want to see it build upon and improve the stalker formula
As any sequel should, but right now it doesn't feel like it is
We shall see, not many things are confirmed as for now
Yeah, that's my main concern
Release is in April and we don't know anything
I guess GSC wants to keep an element of surprise
I can see why's that, if they will reveal too much things to community early on then community will be definitely less interested in the game
Are they being secretive or do they just have nothing to show?
If they have nothing to show then Stalker 2 wouldn't even be announced
Hey, what's better. Call of chernobyl or Dooms merge mod? I am curious
That I do not know
oof
I am curious about it lol
I think this question should be asked in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
Alright.
Thanks.
It wouldn't be the first time a game was ever announced too early
Fair point
i just hope it wont try to appeal to the call of duty audience
doesnt have to be like the old games, just has to feel like stalker
Exactly
If it recaptures the same atmosphere and mood then I’m good
yea
Wait for it to get better even when dead
Still saw it 👁️

Will there be a physical pre-order available for PC? I know RU has it but I'm not seeing much for US
Yes
Is there one currently or are we waiting for it
Currently there is only the Standard Edition for Xbox, we are waiting more editions to release
Gotcha
Does anyone know what the multiplayer is going to be like for stalker 2?
I really hope its a co-op system
So did they update any info about helis and cars being in S2?
I guess they'll be added by modders anyway but would like to know some more info
I very much doubt there will be helis or vehicles in S2.
theyve already said no drivable vehicles
Sus spam
😢
My country won‘t even get its own pre-order links 
So amazon will have to do


for my aussie stalkers they have more ultimate editions at eb games. just bought the ultimate pc one

still no us ultimate retail edition, big sad
i need the lamp
Can we have a guess or some legit info about the weapons list that are expected to be in game? Not talking about the ones already shown in official video.
Maybe I’m blind but how is that supposed to work? Is that an actual “artifact” in the lamp?
Yea that’s the part that’s supposed to light up
Personally the old trilogy is the template for 2. We love these games for specific reasons. If those elements aren’t the foundation of S2 than the whole game as we know it would be compromised and fated to be sub par
So how does it light up? Plug in? Batteries? Authentic radioactive material?
plug in and put an IED for explosion effects

It runs on Duty Tears
oh man this point in darkscape in anomaly always makes my mouth water https://puu.sh/IihFO/e125f3a3e3.jpg
It appears to be a fireball. Pretty sure it's a callback to the one in Strelok's underground stash that I imagine was used for lighting. Also if it works right it should help mitigate radiation making it EVEN MORE VALUABLE
Is EFT a good game to prepare for stalker 2?
Not really
oh
heard SoC, CS and CoP are pretty good for that tho
Because they actually are
Woah, you sure?
if u have vr play into the radius
Is there any reason to not order an international copy to the U.S? Suuuper anxious about not getting an ultimate retail copy >.<
Yeah I heard playing the games from the same series is pretty helpful
Heard that playing Anomaly before all 3 original games is even more helpful
Gifs aren't being shown 
they don't in this channel
If I pre order the utlltimate edition retail will I be able to own it on steam or I need to pre order both
Figured
You’ll get a steam code with the retail PC edition iirc
I asked this question in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive and they said you’ll get a Steam code
Ok thanks I was worried for nothing
^
📸
Worst thing you can do
Yeah ik
Was just joking but eh
Not a very good joke looks like it
I know
I call your father, "Daddy", what's your next move?
Asking how on Earth have you ended up in mine and my father's house on the first place
I didn't work...
Should be the most realistic one, to be fair
It’s surprising how fast time has passed since the games announcement
Slowly been upgrading my setup in preparation and it’s almost the new year already
Idk, 3 and a half years, not that fast but not crazy slow ig
Compared to the wait back in 2011 I feel like it’s much smoother now. Which makes sense given a drip feed of actually information unlike back then
We had to settle for scraps and wait for the details to leak after the game was canned anyway
Well, last time it was canned faster than it's been alive now 
Hey you guys want stalker 2? Aaaaaaand it’s gone
Change da world, my final message
Exactly. That was a subtle nod that this is a direct mainline shadow of chernobyl follow up
I don’t know why it wouldn’t be
It’s probably kind of a partial reboot imo, since devs said it could be followed by players who haven’t experienced the games
Why does my game crash when I put everything on Max settingsd
Hey, might be a dumb question, but does anyone know if the physical edition release is a steam key?
Ah thanks! I just managed to snag the ultimate edition and just wanted to be sure.
Nice
500 bucks was a bit painful though ^^;
Keychain is cool
It is a pretty beefy expense
The only reason I got it was because I knew my gf is a stalker megafan, and I wanna get into it too.
Speaking of which, I assume the previous 3 titles are a must play beforehand, but is there a recommended order or just by release?
Which country's store did you get it through?
play by release
Australia, EB
it's actually a very cool feeling if you play it that way, in retrospect
SoC, CS, CoP
Anyone know why you can’t pre order the ultimate edition in the UK?
😢
They are not ready yet
ASAP they'll appear in stores
Ah thought so I was so confused I’m like I’ve been saving for months and they released and I’m like where the hell is the ultimate edition so I did some digging and couldn’t find anything so I thought I’d ask you fine people thanks a lot for the info
i've been playing lots dayz lately and the heli & car mods there reminded me of a perfect stalker world
its not like you can get into any vehicle you want then drive away, it got parts that need to be assembled, batteries, gas etc so it would be an innovative aspect for a stalker game imo
Day 4 in COP, artifact got stolen by a liar, killed 3 guys, the only medic guy in the base shot himself and suck blood out of my friend Grouse.
This is one hell of an experience.
will i be able to pre order the ultimate edition in canada
you are asap
Oh that’s who that was!? I was wondering what the heck happened to the medic. I never made the connection because I never paid attention to the medic.
It's the guy who'll give you medical treatment in the camp.
He's really useful, I wish I didn't do that quest cause he sells so much medicines that I need.
The merchant still sells stuff though but I'd rather buy from a trusty surgeon.
hmm nice jc
i know who that is
you shouldnt have given that to him....
bad choice mate
tremor right? you will get meds placed in your personal box if you visit the bloodsucker lair with grouse
Jesse, we need to go to pripyat
Yeah, he's a really cool guy.
I thought COP would be boring but damn, these side quests aren't the same as SOC.
Sooo. What's this channel about?
idk
praise the monilith!!!
i deleted SOC out of boredom forgetting that it has mod supports.
been playing COP for 2 days sicne i bought it and haven't seen any guitar players yet
I don't think there are any guiters there on the first place
Conversations about SoC, CS, CoP and HoC

Only in CS and SoC
And even in CS it appears if you take one of Freedomers sidequests
CoP does?
I legit never found any guitar(s) there
Harmonicas as well
It does have it too, but from what I recall it appears in one of Freedomers sidequests at the Dark Valley
he is cool until you realize he sucks blood out of wounded victims
you can talk about stalker 2 or any stalker mod whatever you guess it
Spoilers
peepeepoopoo
a minor spoiler
Still a spoiler
yes
you know these plants that usually are hanging and they have bugged lighting and they damage you if you touch them
what damage type do they do?
yeah they are really good. like actual side plots and not just "go there and kill him" missions
Or "bring me x artifact or x mutant part"
yeah
Sidequests in CoP are a really BIG improvement compared to previous parts
true
like hl1 to hl2
(talking about graphics of course)
Pretty much
It frightens me.
i think theres a
Man whatta weird addiction, sucking blood off wounded people.
emission coming here
hemoglobin addiction
But Jesus, his loot are juicy.
alerdy in one
med kits lmao
I stole like 11 medkits and a few meds from him.
I have a poo poo aim and a poor understanding about the combat system so they're really useful for me.
Tbh combat system isn't that hard
Especially if you have OP guns that are updated as well (for me it was Strelok's SGI and Eliminator Shotgun)
It's more like a diagnosis rather than addiction. Poor lad is suffering from hemoglobin addiction
He isn't even a bad guy like many people think he is
Hy! Why there is no ultimate edition on PC in Hungary?
That I do not know
Retailers haven't got it ready yet
okay thanks! Then I'll wait more
Situation goes like this
Military looking for Nimble for that one golden plated harmonica he stole the other day
Nimble has to hide the harmo somewhere they won't find it when they strip search him
Where will Nimble hide it?
Only wrong answers

Out of all NPCs in Cordon, I goddamn love Nimble - no homo feelings
Somehow part of his dialogue regarding the USBs and the things, felt too damn hilarious - plus his nickname
I just got an email for an update about stalker 2 half a hour ago
Checked the website
Nothing new
Whats new?
nothing is new
Seems more like a reminder ig
Receives a newsletter
Checks up newsletter, old newsletter
I mean, come on, ffs! It is time to dust off the hype train, repair if needed, and hit the rails

My balls are itching for a new trailer
No

Mod deleted my old message :(
:(
stolker
Found the guy who doesn’t watch Jojo bizarre adventure 
Yes I exist 
I second that
Any word on US PC retail edition?
still no UK ultimate edition?
No and no
Soon not TM
The Australia retailer has the Ultimate Edition open for preorder again if you want to try that
Oh boy I bet the postage cost is crazy.
What is that even
Cartoon?
Anime*
Aka cartoon but Japanese
A very well known Japanese manga that got translated into an anime starting around 2015
Monolith: oh? Your approaching me?
Strelok: I can’t kick your a$$ without getting closer!
Monolith: hoho! Then come as close as you like!
ew
Expected my friend.
Still prefer Dragon Ball.
Oh god
Jojotards

Dragon Ball Bizarre Adventure
Giorno giovannaa
so i got the bad ending
Of
SoC
||i chose to join them||
don't get why that was the bad ending tho
gonna reload a save and try again
The actual ending doesn’t have anything to do with entering the sarcophagus
i got the actual ending
Sweet
Yo
In Clear Sky, I have finally made it to Yantar.
Lucky you, I'm still tyring to figure out which way to leave Jupiter Plant in COP.
would i ask here for questions about pre-orders?
You could, but #🔍┃ask_gscarchive is a good place to ask too
i'm just unsure right now because when i click the pre-order links on the website it redirects me to the standard xbox version of the game

The United States only has the Xbox Standard version currently.
ohhh okay, thank you
I personally hope that'll change in the future.
Waiting on Ultimate Retail edition for PC.
I want to buy that as well, but I am scared. The last collectors edition I bought was the Fallout 76 Power Armour edition

At worst it may end up janky like OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
I doubt it will be Fallout 76 Levels of bad
And neither will top E.T. for Atari as the worst game of all time. Along with Superman 64
Somewhere between Escape from Tarkov and FO76 lol
Sounds about right. 
I hate to say it, but I’ve actually always enjoyed 76, and I was a beta player
Not for the story or anything, but it’s just a fun game to play when you min max
I can’t recall any missions, except for the first time launching a nuke because that was so awesome and gratifying when I was low level
I’ve actually only ever encountered a very tiny amount of bugs, which surprises me because I hear everyone else is having a bad buggy time
It took them so long to announce stalker, i have actual hope its gonna be great
Jank is good
can someone help me with a bug in a main quest in stalker anomaly
so when will the full collectors edition be available in the uk
Never
no collectors no buy
🇫🇮
Yo. Who put the trans flag on #📰┃announcement. Can this finally mean trans people play stalker? Less go
🇭🇺 🇭🇺
Dark Valley "bread"
the zone doesn't care about your sexualities or political beliefs
Can’t wait for new anomalous bread
Hell no
:tf:
🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Ew no
Anyone else get that email this morning saying the website and pre-orders have been updated? I checked both and nothing looks different.
how come?
because joining them bad
you were literally meant from the start to be a anomaly in their system
and after all that you decide to join them
hm fair
All of us got that letter, someone mentioned some change I think but personally I've no clue
Saw this posted earlier
Interesting. Maybe the email got sent out too early?
Either way I’m excited to get any crumb of new news lol.
You got the breadolith today 
Based.
Almost got excited for a second. But nothing new here either, same ol'.
what email..? I subscribe to them but nothing..?
Maybe check all your folders.
have done mate
Maybe subscribe again just to make sure lol
Don't ping whole role next time please
thanks for your report
any information on retail preorders? can't find any but thought i'd ask.
Only Xbox Standard Edition in the U.S., Australia has both Xbox and PC Ultimate Editions, and the U.K. has up to Collector's.
Depends on the country
cheers, thanks friends.
#🖤┃s2-pre-order is where the links are provided to purchase the retail editions.
You could click on screenshots and you get this description
Good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Bread day
Forgot to add that you should check out the 1979 STALKER movie, which the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games were inspired by. And then read the novel Roadside Picnic (By Arkady and Boris Strugatsky), which in turn inspired the STALKER film.
is there any mod for stalker anoamly that allows you to use the 30mm on the btr 80?
Not always
You can't have full information there, every goddamn store
You have to be on the look out all day, all night long
Check by yourself - best way to keep track on information
You should tell that to the person who asked o:
hi im new to stalker and never played a game
Which one would be the best for me ?
Im also open to a modded version or something like that
But which one would you recommend to me without nostalgia can be played best nowdays ?
He already noticed
all of them in release order. Shadow of Chernobyl first
Shadow of Chernobyl.
thanks !
thx bro, downloading win11 rn https://puu.sh/IiLoh/aa2942f8d8.png
All 3 games are a timeless masterpiece
You shall start with SoC first, then play CS and lastly CoP
Unless you prefer chronological order.
But also be aware that CS is the first game that happened storywise. Might be confusing for you, that's why I'm telling you this
Release order is far better
Storywise CS is first, then SoC and lastly CoP
Speaking of Clear Sky, finally had my first CTD in vanilla. Came way late in the game, but I honestly expected one way earlier. Not too bad.
Ad hoc

Vodka and Slavic magic.

Thing is, that for such missions you need a lot of ammo
At least it was the case with me. Otherwise I couldn't complete them
That's why restocking on your supplies before any major mission is a must
Just you wait till you'll have to get to Sarcophagus
My tip to you will be not to be hesitate to spend your money on ammos, bandages, medkits and etc
I'm wondering if theres even something that i can enter into the console that can help me here
i sort of really badly messed up and I'm stuck
I can send a screenshot somewhere to prove it, basically I have no ammunition whatsoever and theres a few mutants in my way that are bullet sponges
by the psi emitter i think
Used all the grenades in the rooms preceding
I am not sure if I have an older save at the moment because I was still getting used to the way stalker does it in particular
You should have a few 🤔
i do actually upon checking
but ... it's from about a week before the one that's hard stuck
I think that's my only option because there's only a little more than a minute before my protection shuts off on this save
i do want to finish it but thats a huge turn off
ahh there is one from an hour before but it isnt a lot better
i did not manage it properly
I think I'm screwed in Clear Sky.
Why so?
CTD upon loading saves. Including autosave.
That's what I get for trying to play it vanilla...
Just when it getting interesting!
Rip
Shame you have to start a new game to use SRP. Apparently doesn't work with vanilla saves.
I'm always weirded out by these issues honestly
Completed it vanilla multiple times and pretty much never got these things
I don't know what to tell you. I am pretty far/late in the game, though. I'm honestly surprised it took this long to crash. I expected it way earlier playing it vanilla.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
where full collectors edition 😡
Not the USA that's for sure
not anywhere
It's your stores refusing it
why are my stores refusing full collectors but accepting baby collectors
Nvm, think I managed to fix it. Autosave was actually working, confused it with my quicksave. Strange though that every save crashed upon loading except for autosave.
I'm not complaining though.
THE ADVENTURE IN THE ZONE CONTINUES!
Spoke too soon. CTD in middle of a firefight.

Found an interesting fix.
Hmm, didn't help. Screw it, just gonna start over with SRP. 😩
Started over. Took a while to muster the courage to restart, but the show must go on!
ultra based bro
too bad what happened on the first save
Yeah, unfortunately it was unsalvageable even with Decane's fix for the Limansk area. But no way I'm gonna NOT beat the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series once and for all.
The Zone beckons and demands it.
For clear sky?
Yes.
Real chads play vanilla broski
That’s what happened to me my first time
Tried a lot to fix it, but a dead end ultimately.
Now clear sky is my most played game
I always troubleshoot first.
because I’ve basically gone through it twice
How do you avoid the Limansk crashing issue?
Never had it
Playing vanilla, I mean.
Can't wait to see what bugs/issues S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will bring us. 

If they give us proper console commands this time around, will be no problem to fix them ourselves.
Just remembered they're using UE 5
Getting back to where I was at a steady pace now. But calling it a night on the game for now since I'm tired.

Hey guys 
Hi there
I'm looking at the pre-order channel but curious if GSC has released any information on availability in South Africa, I want to pre-order but not seeing anything locally available 
That I do not know, sorry
Let's hope
anomaly tag
expect people asking for help on this server
which I am in
and I'm just lurking
This is Anomaly speaking on your behalf
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
XD
so uh, i have started a game on call of pripyat for the first time, and for some reason the autosave has my IRL first name?
yet i have not entered my name into the game at all
For autosaves most games look at what the users name is
Lmao
No the game is spying on you
the game is spyware
you can increase it iirc
but, other than that. 2009 baby
fair but shadow of chernobyl had a better grass render distance
i don't recall it having better render distance for grass. could possibly be they update something texture wise, or maybe larger maps
no idea
i swear i remember it having better grass render distance
like i never remembered foliage just popping in out of nowhere
meant that as like, im pretty sure SoC doesnt have foliage popping in out of nowhere
or it might just be not as noticeable
for some reason
In Clear Sky, is it possible to get to that corridor with what seems like a flame anomaly moving back and forth in it?
You could try OpenXRay, I haven't played vanilla COP in ages but their engine might hav eimproved render distance for grass
also i think i found an anomaly
this one guys feet are stuck in a campfire
while his body is just spasming all over the place
man the zone really works in mysterious ways
Turns out that yes, it is possible.
oh god trying to drag the body makes it worse
still no pc collectors edition, damn
Can relate. I'd prefer the Ultimate PC retail edition, though.
@finite dragon yeah thats what i ment
Typical bug anomaly
So is this game gonna have fast travel? Also a season pass? really?
No idea, but nice avatar. I'm a fan of Hylics.
2/3 games in the series got a fast travel so
Season pass is meh
It's only two DLC
I think it would have a fast travel, considering that fast traveling is already a thing in CS and in CoP but not 100% sure
I mean modern fast travel. You know opening a map and clicking travel. I like the idea of guides and stalkers being able to safely escort you for a price
Pretty sure it was hinted somewhere a while back that guides will return
It's a thing in Clear Sky. Dunno about SoC, been a long time since I beat it.
Dear god I just hope that the atmosphere of stalker is in tact. I have never played a series like it.
CS and COP
There isn't any in SoC but there is in CoP
I didn't comment on CoP because I haven't played it yet. But nice to know for sure.
Understandable
After Clear Sky, it's straight to CoP and then done until S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Good luck
Thank
That would really ruin it imho. Will be a bit cliche and easy
Hope you'll be able fast travel via paying guides only
Part of why I'm concerned that they might resort to that is the fact that they said this is one of the biggest open worlds ever. The easiest solution would be to add map fast travel.
Maybe we will get vehicles instead? 🤔
Either way I am cautiously hyped
No, we won't get vehicles
They were already mentioned to pretty much not happen
And I'm 99% sure that guides were hinted to happen
I don't get the fast travel hate, personally. I'm okay with it in any form, provided it's optional. The rest is just people's lack of self control/impulse control.
@tired anvil they stated fast travel will be lore appropriate and not "easy"
Vehicles don't fit the Zones atmosphere
At best, we'll get Ukrainian Army Helicopters
Very fitting for the Zone.
Probably the same system as the old one where you pay the guides.
Thats good. Nothing feels better than making it from cordon to CNPP.
Does anyone know when we will be getting more game-play footage? What they have shown so far was incredibly brief
No, none of us know unfortunately
My guess (hope) is TGA in December
I won’t be able to play S2 due to work when it comes out.
How do I cope 
Play the next day. The zone always beckons you, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Hey guys quick question. I’m playing through CoP for the first time, and I know when you beat it you can enter free play mode. I heard a while ago that there are new missions available if you pick this option. Is this true? Because I can’t seem to find anything about it on Google.
According to discussions on the Steam forum, no new missions. You can go back and finish ones you haven't finished or just screw around and have fun, though.
There some mods that adds new stuff to do in freeplay, apparently.
me too and i cannot cope
all we can do is seethe and dilate

so i have a question
why is stalker spelled like an acronym
what is it an acronym for?
to avoid copyright or smth ig
unknown, there is a meaning going around but it's not official
spooky
tho why did strelok have stalker tattooed onto his arm?
thats like being a trucker and getting "trucker" tattooed to your arm
C-Con marks their sleeper agents with that tattoo
oh
Hey does anyone know whos manufacturing the collectors edition statue?
It's really not official?
Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers and Robbers
it's not canon in any way
Steam page way 😎
every og stalker writer could come and say it is canon and i won't accept it as long as it's not in the games

I smell coping...
i should finish stalker games AGAIN with the zrp mods
hi
Agreed
There's always mods and addons though

exo-aim bug?
Just realize my aim's so bad I wasted 3 AK mags on a wild dog.
Frick no
I hAve learned anomalous bread is radioactive
Is Owl from Bandits? Or only have connections?
he is known to favor sultan during conflicts between him and beard thats all i know tbh
yet his faction is loner
Pronounce yourself covid target
You'll easily get away
And get called a liar after a test 
You can fake the test too
Yea good luck
Connections
Send your boss a S.T.A.L.K.E.R Leave 
Just don't apply for leave in advance and assume the release date won't change 
my god. its the gman
Rise and shine
still no UK UE... NZ just got some
i like how the preorder channel never properly alerts me
even when i left all messages on, so everything should pop up in my alerts
ive never once gotten it to notify me even with all notifications on lmao
Same here mate- no alerts from it at all
apparently it wont do this due to server size if you try setting these as a server wide setting, so im assuming its same for preorder channel on mobile only
it'll still only alert you about everything on desktop
Ive basically sat with this window open for god knows how many months now waiting for UK Preorder of UE. Now UK got them, the UE is nowhere to be seen.
Discord pretty weird with notifications
It's a whole 'nother mystery
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't 
apparently "server wide message notifications" won't work on large servers on mobile, discord settings itself says so
it works fine on desktop, which explains why its worked once on my pc
so there's quite literally no way to get preorder channel notifications unless you're on pc 24/7
unless they poke people properly
i have it open on PC with notificaitons etc turned on- nothing happens when Preorder updates
if you have ANY other tab open, it wont pop up
tbh at this point Im refreshing the actual outlet stores rather than waiting on here
I come on here mainly to share my pain
I mean, tbh im afraid to even preorder due to shipping delays in the USA
my damn 1/6th figures are like 4 months late due to it
nearly onto 5 months xd
So, I have my doubts ultimates will even show up at a reasonable time here, as apparently most shipping is in this situation here
might be EXACTLY WHY the US preorders arent up yet
which most people won't care to hear about 
Oh yeah? I don't care about that either. 
So anyway, I finally got back to where I was in Clear Sky. Now on with the story!
That’s awfully presumptuous of you.
If you're here just to be like: ok no retail what to do now is commit egg
