If you call bandits, mutants, anomalies and other things like this beautiful then yes
Aware of that, but I get where they're coming from as well
Their problem is that they act very quickly
duty fun police
Let's be honest, majority of the Zone's population wouldn't really enjoy anomalies, mutants and such
i hate those damn fire anomalies
I doubt that they are
Imagine how many people died from these
But another thing is that the Zone can be considered as a living organism
Even if it'll be researched to a great extent there's no guarantee that it still can be destoyed
If it isn't impossible then it should be very very hard at least
problem is duty is yet to actually hurt the zone in any way
in fact its kinda just made it worse with clear sky
If killing bunch of mutants is considered as hurting then technically yes
But not to very big extent
Mutant population in the Zone isn't an issue and nor are anomalies
Yeah but it doesn’t actually reduce their populations, makes more of them actually
Precisely
The more people mess with the zone to try and stop CCON it only gets worse
Exactly what's the problem with Duty
Only stalkers who aernt ruining everything are military funnily enough
They act when Zone's big part isn't even researched
Yes
And very quickly I would say
But they look cool, sound cool, have the coolest guns, so I like them
Fair enough
I’d like freedom for the ideals but I know they’re not actually what they claim to be
They’re funded by nato forces clearly considering their guns and they’re friends with bandits
Just a front to destabilize the zone in hopes it takes out Eastern Europe i bet
I love Mercenary faction because of their elite-ness
Their reason of being in the Zone mainly is contracts they signed up with a different goals
Loners are also in the Zone for money (at least a majority) but their way of making money is a lot different
Signed up with contractors* while every contract can be way different from each other. Should've clarified better on that
🖕
The thing is...
...that deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits, none of them will stop Duty on it's triumphant march towards saving the planet!
(Seeing the conversation above, i just had to drop this here.)
All of those stopped Duty 
Their commanders are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Another day of thanking god for arena in rostok
Literally the most fun way to earn money
I asked Strelok on a date and he said yes 😩
Mfw rank too low to fight more people 
😩 👌
I'll let you guys know how it goes
😏
I am so jealous right now how did you pull this off
You gotta get out there bruv 
give him a forehead kiss and maybe he'll be less hostile
Homie goodnight kiss
I tried to ask out the holy glowing rock but he said no 😩

His ak disagrees
give the ak a kiss
Check my status
Anyone know any mods or stuff to change voicelines to English?
GSC can confirm it's true
Been wanting to read stalker
Books, but they're all in russian. Anybody know any translated PDFs or something?
I've been wanting to read the comics!!
I know theres two ones written in english but they take place in a zone in afganistan
I want the og zone
Also I've heard there Is better books, those in particular arent real good
Roadsidr picnic og zone book
better hurry before someone takes him
wait monolith already got 'im

Jk ii simp for degtyarev
Already read It. Amazing. Now I want the game books, but they're only in russian an some in german
Nimble os only side character to appear in all 3 games
Skif looks kinda hot tbh, we'll have to see if he's a nice guy
I dont unfortunely :(
I only know in polish
Translated to polish*
We all know that uncle Sid is cutest

Him and Strelok as well
They are only ones who had such honor
Strelok is main character in SoC
I know
Nimble is side character in all three games
So nimble is only SIDE character in all three games
If he won't be in S2 we riot
Yes
Minor mistake is Nimble having an Experienced rank in Clear Sky and Rookie rank in SoC, which happened after CS
Same with Sakharov
Maybe psy-waves did that?
They forgor and went to rookie?
They forgor 💀
Can someone explain to me, what happened with the ray of hope mod?
Still being worked on
"worked on"
The challenge Is the map changing I read
You mean the co-op stalker mod right?
I remember there was a mod for clear sky that changed weapon animations but not the models, anyone remember the name?
I'm afraid to ask a single question in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive
Will we ever see D.E.L.A.Y.E.D. 2?
Back when the game was announced with the
A.N.N.O.U.N.C.E.D. 2
tweet
Lol!
Mfw flame geyser 
I just finished the ||Agroprom|| mission for the first time, is there supposed to be a ||controller|| right at the end? What’s odd is I walked right down the hall and then it was just there behind me like it had followed me from somewhere, but I have no clue where it came from
If u think about it
USSR has some big nuclear "achievments"
Most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated
Yeah, it's supposed to be there
till the end of time.
Why would you want to do that?
The models oook bad
Idk to each his own I guess
hi res models look out of place
they are
Stalker models look bad even for the time thoigh
Counterstrike models from around the same time look a million times better
And most mods just make the guns look like counterstrike model level
2012 level
imo they jus fit the atmosphere idk how to describe it
is there a mod which fixes the fact that any pistol pullout animation in cs is longer than just reloading your primary
I love vanilla models, I love how they look cartoonish yet realistic. Hi resolution models and the in real life armour models in game looks so wierd and out of place in my opinion
Clear sky is probably the hardest stalker for me
The story was so good but the combat
Boo
is the collectors edition preorder going to be made available to tthe us or is it restricted?
install srp ballistics mod and it will turn the combat into the best part
seriously, gunfights are my fav part of cs
To my knowledge, it will be in the US they're still working things out with retail distributors
Yep, that^
bless
How many missions can we expect in stalker 2?
I don't think even the devs know that one tbh
Haha, I wonder of there will be dynamic missions... Like based on rep, repeatable missions with different objectives, A-life changes missions/adds new ones...
So when can I buy the goty edition?
200 mishons
Yeah, i would like to download hd models, but they look weird, so i am staying with vanilla low res good looking models, those outfits fit The Zone more than more realistic outfits
HD Models look goofy
im trying to stop zombies from entering the border but this one exo freedomer keeps killing me, im a merc but allied any ideas why?
Should i do OG strelok run (with gear from final cutscene when we do the thing to ccon)?
It should be
"""""Fun"""""
should i kill strider?
i can't recruit him into any faction
if i let him live he won't survive for long and i won't get a free svu
Just do missions for factions
And be their fren
nah too late
Idot dumas
Ok turns out the exo freedomer was gatekeeper
Theres a lot of exo freedomers
But i know about which you are talking about
The one at army warehouses
hi
Please kick me :)
y
soo... should i kill him or not
i already have 2 sniper rifles and a third one wouldn't be much of use, still i think it's better off with me killing the squad other than someone else
would be boring without weed
stalking with a friend will be really good
does the collectors edition pre order get delivered on the day the game releases or would i have to wait a bit?
Yeah Fr I cant wait
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?
Just listened to the latest shooting sound session video. Wouldn't it make more sense to record animations and sound at the same time so that both perfectly matches? Otherwise, you know, maybe you see the shot animation but the sounds starts before that or something like that. But no, I seriously belief, that you guys know best, what you are doing. Love the level of detail and passion in this project.
probably waiting a bit
i dont think it would be on same day due to amount of people doing same thing
Ahaha yus ultimate edition for the UK finally pre ordered finally 😄
If anybody wants to watch mod trailers and gameplay footage from the Ap-pro event today, I included a translated timestamps list in the comments: https://youtu.be/kKN8cQJ7sEM
Soon brother...
I hope Its compatible with other mods
stalkers is there any mod that makes stalker co op multiplayer?
Yeah the YouTube video I just sent is for a mod called Ray of hope that does that
It’s still a work in progress though
you didnot sent anything?
but thanks anyway
its not a mod its a game
yeah i just came so i dont know
It's a mod
ray of hope ? a stalker mod? its a game on steam no?
It's a mod, it's not out, it's not on Steam
No it’s not out yet
They just released a new trailer for it
It’s been in development for like 6 years though
There's also XRMPE
meh not cutting it
Of course not
wait, I'm been talking in en stalker all this time???
No
how did I end up here then
Privyet
ik for a fact I didn't click on it
It's a completely different project from RoH, but also with the idea of Stalker co-op
after my second play through of clear sky i have determined some games are to be left alone
Freedomers are worse than mutants 2nd time I cleared out their base in Army Warehouse's bc why? They chose to fight me from the back while I was killing some monolith there they don't even open fire to zombies and mutants I am the only target.
an emission started and i had to run forward to a bunch of monolith and ecologist
im playing as a bandit so it was a pain in the bottom to take them all out
was running up to freedom checkpoint as clear sky the freedomers immendiately open'd fire on my companions because they were wearing a bandit looted exo.
Very fun group shoot on sight from now on
it took so many tries for me to reach some building then it failed as well
I am playing Warzone mode on Anomaly, and holy shit, Monolith literally does not know when to stop, they really wanna take Army warehouses, every time they come back stronger. 2 times already cleared all monoliths out, and 3rd time after i did some small quests, I see that my faction lost Army warehouses again, walk to the zone and check PDA to see 50 squads, well.
That's hell, came back to Rostok do buy munition and grenades, and get friendly squads with me, today gonna try retaking army warehouses
no chill
Warzone is Hell in that mod, literally
But you can always descrease the pop factor tho
I mean, i already have lowered damage factors a bit, bcs can't survive for 5 seconds if you get attacked by monoliths
And yes, yesterday it said 230 (+-) squads of monolith, 110 military, 70 ecologist, and 30 duty (my faction) bcs we keep fighting against monolith, like every time I leave army warehouses, day later monolith take control
(also to note, Sin faction started growing in red forest 12 squads or so)
Planned tho. Damit. Day ruined once again.
Damage factor is different
Lower the population factor for stalkers
Good combat music 👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtujhPygFMY
I am no longer the same man I was before entering x18
That place in anomaly is a nightmare
164 days to be exact
Thought that time is going by like crazy
will alza restock the preorders?
1
Thanks
stalker 2 this evening ? 👀
Hell ye stalker 2 till 05 am
What?
They are trying not to make you sad for a hypothetical delay
@finite dragon absolutely nothing, it already happened
There was an Xbox showcase for 20 years of Xbox today
Then I vanilla my vla all over her
vanilla vla all over anomaly and uninstall it
Brother I never understood the hate for Anomaly
Obviously, Vanilla is better
But I do indugle in some Anomaly degeneracy from time to time because I am a Freedomer
making anomaly playable is just stuffing it full of addons
I play vanilla Anomaly because I m full blown degenerate
Still no NA preorders? Does not look good....
that's right, there's no hope.....
it's time to give up................
Why do people hate anomaly so much
nice , waiting
Cause some of the game's fan just goes: "HURR HURR ANOMALY IS CANON"
I legit saw a guy asking where's Anomaly in the Stalker Wiki stuff.
I mean, that’s dumb of them, doesn’t mean it’s a bad mod though
Yeah, Anomaly is an amazing mod.
I have no idea what stalker is but seems interesting to me
same
first time playing this game, i didn't even know what it was about
just remember a guy on discord playing "he was a good stalker" then i decided to buy the game
Vanilla stalker can be a bit harder to get into because of how dated it is
But it's worth playing for sure
Other than the difficulty and jank, I disagree. The gun play is very nice, ai is great (when it wants to be), and graphics haven’t aged too badly, same with the atmosphere. That’ll never get old
Stalker AI is still better than Battlefield 2 AI.
Yeah, it can get a bit harder but you're prob new.
The game has a lotta stuff to do.
Hmm so stalker cop is my first stalker game, im not doing too bad but i noticed im generally bad at solving the unmarked quests.. is there any general route to solve them? now that im in the next area i notice theres alot more of those type of quests which i seemingly can't solve through dialogue or exploration
With these things you might want to pay attention to dialogue from NPC's and stuff you see while playing. If you're really stuck, there's always https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._Wiki
Bad choice to start with CoP if you play the game for the lore
im not
so dialogue is generally the way? i can try revisit the quest givers, if not ill try the wiki. thanks bro
Depends what quest you're doing
^
if it's for example the oasis, dialogue won't really help if I'm remembering correctly. All I'll say is ||that it's underground||
never finished gassing the mutant quest when i left the zone in cop
now i feel bad, didn't say goodbye to my friends there
the bloodsucker cave?
yes
but i killed the chimera and avenged a stalker though
ill try give an example. theres that quest leads you to a bridge.. on the bridge is a crate with a lock on it. as far as i could tell theres no indication where the key might be?
first zone
Got the same trouble too, I neve finished that quest
and this one i still have open too.. i believe youre supposed to find gas canisters?
Yes
It's on the bridge
But I was too busy shooting Monolith and heading to Pripyat.
CoP is the best for side quests
Makes me think that S2 will have a plethora of long side quests
Is there any idea of how many people can be on co-op?
Co-op hasn’t been confirmed I believe, I think it was a mistranslation or something.
@pseudo rivet do you remember?
Misunderstanding, no co-op confirmed
I could be wrong
Even if its done through a mod, it would be pretty pog
it’s probably gonna happen tbh
Considering you follow the story of a character, perhaps it would play as the hosts campaign
and bleeding, once i got artifacts down the only thing i had to deal with was getting headshotted by military who took 15 shots to kill 🙂
No
UE5 alone means modders have an easier multiplayer starting point as opposed to X-ray and projects like Ray of hope
always been wondering if S2 would have coop
if not i'm sure it'll be modded in. Skyrim & FNV have mods for that stuff now.
Gun play is an aim cone bullets don't really like to go straight
They said multiplayer but not coop
UE5 really was the best choice
Incredibly capable for graphics and extremely moddable
Can’t wait to see how A-life 2 performs though, I’m most interested in that in terms of game mechanics
Lol, it’s not a good idea to make a really graphics intensive game during a graphics card shortage that lasts until 2024
Too bad, will do it anyway 
I hope all 5 customers really enjoy the game
Yes because everyone ever has a bad pc
Epic wouldn't care
Even most good pcs cant run that game
The average modern pc can run it
What do you mean by modern pc? The average pc most people have? Absolutely not
Any pc from the past 5 years. That is the modern pc. On average they are powerful enough to run it. If you don’t have a powerful enough pc to run new games, sorry man. That’s just how games work.
I feel like more people will be able to run it then most think
The min requirements are probably just a sign of "expect this to play on medium" but ofc I could be wrong, well just have to wait and see if thats a true "minimum" for actually everything on potato mode
but ofc mods will prolly come out too with smaller textures etc.
Only 1 person you know has anything more than a 1060?
I think you need to know more people then

I feel this way too
Then they’ll definitely be able to run stalker 2
Anything 1060 and up is good
I have a 1650
Min spec to run is 1060, so it’s fine. Just run it on low
Yeah I can now run Stalker 2
When i will be able to run st2, third game will be released
Exactly, it was that A-life 2.0 verbage that originally got me super hyped because it felt like they understood that core of the old games and were building on top of it instead of moving away from it
Hey there, I was wondering if there are still retail copies of the ultimate edition for stalker 2 available to be purchased?
Can’t wait to see how they improved with it, especially with unreal’s node based AI which if used well enough and extensively enough, can be some of the best damn ai you’ll ever see
But they are probably going with their own proprietary tech, which is going to be just as good if not even better
Depends on what country
got a pda off a dead Monolith
The trader said "Photo of a Freedom tyring to bone a bloodsucker, I'll pay 900 RU"
Also my Call of Chernobyl crashed like 6 times.
A comment section from the stalker subreddit is on the top of r/dontyouknowwhoiam lol
Anyone knows how to get a GP-37 in CS?
yes
but you're not going to like it
@finite dragon Upon joining the Bandits and taking over the Loner base you'll recieve the GP-37 as a Bandit faction victory reward. You could get the F2000 from just clearing the path to Limansk and returning to the CS base
Oh, so there's no neutral way?
I don't think so
The freedom elite carry a SIG in CS. so the bandits is the way to go
@finite dragon
yeah. squad leaders give them I guess
I think you get it as a reward
reading the thing
From a side quest
que
please speak English in this chat, if you can, ty 🙂
5 more years til new trailer
5 more months before the game comes out 
must be the reason why i collect every pda i got
Obligatory not canon moment
That's from the mods though
And literally no mod is canon, except of 3 original games
Is it?
As expected
Ur, it is 
That’s the joke
doesn't really change the fact that its a certified bruh moment
пр всем
just playing soc now before cop, its like this is a different game altogether lol
so much action, larger scale fights. cop seems alot more quiet
CS is even louder than SoC
Pretty great gunfights too
Just because I’m not super active on here, have there been any updates put out as to the physical preorders for the US? I haven’t seen anything but don’t have the energy to scroll through every message lol
Closer it gets, harder it is to wait 
Next trailer is going to send me over the edge lol pls give me that dank review copy GSC

We will probably see what's next in 13-18 days from know, figurin that's the time we have left till the games gatherin conference in Ukraine
Now in terms of what we'll see, that I truly don't know. It would be weird if it's another 5 minute trailer with very few gameplay clips like this year's E3. Since we're so close to the release date, guess we'll find out if the game ends up delayed or not based on what we'll see at this event, if we see anythin at all that is.
A 5 minute trailer would be quite substantial. They aren’t going to show too much of their hand. Gotta keep the mystery and intrigue
I liked the trailer, I wish they’d show more other stuff too though
Dude mine ALWAYS crashes when I go into truck cemetery
What happens with everyone when the game gets delayed I wonder
Massive amounts of preorder refunds?
Bro, my suit let me carry like 55 kg and I'm currently 64 kg cause of loots and stuff.
I'm trying to fit myself through the entrance from Cordon to Garbage
And my game went "Nah bro ur too fat"
Can anyone pls help me
If I can't do this then I gotta carry my arse to Darkscape and head to the Bandit base.
Leave it on the group and go back for it?
Yes.
They're all important stuff like mutants body parts and artifacts
I got a bag though, maybe creating a stash is a good idea but I'm scared that some fat military will steal my loot
Drop some on the ground, go into garbage, drop some stuff in garbage, go back into cordon , pick up the stuff, go back into garbage and pick up everything and keep walking
Like the puzzle with the chicken and the fox and the river
I'm playing as a bandit
And currently heading to garbage so I can go back to my base
But the entrance to garbage in Cordon says I'm too fat, that's all.
I can try creating a stash though.
also i got so bored i decided to shot down a helicopter with my AK
Maybe? I just think we need to see some free roam on the game and that takes some time to truly show. The previous trailer had a lot of scripts and cutscenes, but the gameplay was just little snip pits. If it's 5 minutes of just pure gameplay then okay, if it's like the previous one then I'm just gonna bet a delay's gonna happen.
nice, it's like every levels is locked for me
They all have an invisible wall at every entrance
To Darkscape, to garbage, to great swamps
I feel like hours of grinding have gone to a waste
uninstalling everything, selling all my stuff
goodbye call of chernobyl
Neutral bandits so yeah
anomaly now
Even on DX8?
is there like a repack of anomaly?
Oh my gosh. It all makes sense now. Strelok's PDA reading "Kill Strelok" was actually Scar's.
wait a minute was it?
wait what?
ok i regret un-installing coc now
i made a lotta progress there, i even managed to massacre the clear sky base and rookie camp
which means? sorry
He just added that to your sentence
hmmm yeah but what does it imply, the other stalker games' bandits arent neutral or?
Clear Sky has neutral bandits iirc, but soc has hostile bandits
Are you wanting a modpack for anomaly? I have a good one to suggest if you primarily are looking for immersion+QoL
i see
what i meant with my initial comment tho is just that soc is a lot more crowded and denser than cop
i paused my cop playthrough to start soc, so im only at the early part of midgame i think so i cant judge fully ofc. but cop has quite a big map but alot less content so far
ok yall fellow no life stalker players
i got ab 115 hours on cs and done three loner runs and a quick run where i was neutral
bandits freedom or duty
yes i love getting my left nut dismangled by 9 grenades by a drunk 45 year old bandit with kidney issues
no i meant repacking the mod 20 gigs is a lot to download
Yeah I guess because it includes the entire base game+mod all in one download
i remember reading some guy's commentary regarding this exactly lol. since then i accepted it as canon tbh it just makes it better for me idk.
scar didn't kill his buddies and he had no real reason to kill strelok
Im at CoP endgame and playing Anomaly nowadays but i want to finish SoC for the 'lore', is there a good mod to do this? Just for the story play
yea bro vanilla
imagine playing stalker for the lore but instead of vanilla you want to torture yourself with mods
Nice advice just thought this myself mods gonna extend playtime
i think it would make the playtime shorter if you choose a really annoying mod to play through
vanilla is enough for story and alot of fun
Zone Reclamation Project to patch bugs and some slight optimizations. Doesn't mess with the story, quests, or graphics at all.
Thats exactly what I was looking for sir thank you
u don't need it if you have an average pc
my game never crashed when playing on my new pc
what gpu you have?
gtx 1660
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Major Alexander Degtyarev the only (playable) protagonist from the games whose real name is known? Conversely, he's the only (playable) protagonist who doesn't have a "STALKER codename." On top of that, he's the only protagonist whose name isn't one word starting with the letter S (Strelok, Scar, Skif).
Of course, this is all assuming that Strelok, Scar, and Skif aren't the actual legal names of each respective protagonist--but that should really go without saying.
Yeah
OP 2.1
If you want huge story
This is the worst recommendation ever
The guy hasn't beaten the vanilla games yet
Why give him the idea of playing the craziest ( and best) mod of all time?
A tragedy
whats the OP 2.1?
A soup mod
soup
oh
do u think stalker 2 will have soup?
s o u p
So what if there was a way to contain and control the anomalies, harness the power and basically transform into an avatar of anomalies? haha
jesse what are you talking about
Hey. Will there be pre orders for the special editions on NA?
Yes
as a merc in anomaly wheres the nearest guide to great swamp from warehouse?
Quicksave and Heart attack simulator
Will stalker 2 include a Cold War battle rifle? eg g3,FAL and ar-10
NDA
Wouldn’t be surprised if there is one
Yeah, I'd like to see a g3
Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a G series FAL
plz STALKER 2 put cz weapons in it
hello good, do you know if stalker 2 will have keyboard and mouse support on xbox? is that I can not find information
stalker has some predictable stuff but it still spook me sometimes
i look on the minimap, saw a number 1 on it, thought it was an ally
Goes upstair and BOO, a zombie outta nowhere
bandits were careless enough to let zombies infest their sleeping house
Maybe not that far but gauss rifles have shard of flash for power
Waiting to see the weapons new designs
gm stalkers
I just pre order stalker 2
gajunas no longer a mod 
Ay is stalker 2 gonna be optimized for x and s series
Nice
Lmao
So how's is your day guys
Someone tell me please
wow, that is a good question
I would ask that in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive , and one of gsc's members will potentially answer that question @plucky tangle
Been answered as NDA many times now, gonna need to wait a lot longer before we get that one 
simple matter of skill
There are a lot of Fallout servers. Which one was it?
the fallout network
but to be fair i posted a couple of stalker memes as well

Let me guess, is it a F76 server?

i was in there like 30 secs
Knowing how those are, yeah, I see why that happened
they have really fast response time I have to admit
Yeah
(oops wrong channel)
Greetings
i dunno at first i figured they were taken because its a safe zone or whjatever, but i didnt get them back when i left
will try.. thanks
oh it was in the stash near the arena.. shouldve known
the person that decided to loop snitch' voice line infinitely must be a nice guy :))

can anyone get me started on the ''collect the unique bodysuit'' quest in SoC?
the zone is psi-emitted or whatever and i wont have long enough to get past all the enemies and get near the quest marker. google/wiki doesnt mention anything about that part of the quest. im probably missing something but yea
the radiation suit has no effect in that zone
@finite dragon
Are you still outside of X-16?
uhh yes and no, i saved outside.. i tried rushing in but then i get to the part where the timer starts ticking and i cant even out-heal the damage
Hmm, got an earlier save from when you didn't enter it?
yeah i do
Actually, what's currently your main quest?
uhmmm i think its getting documents (the second part?) i tried doing it, but the area to get past is really radioactive so i figured i needed the radiation suit from yanmar, thats how i got to the part im at now
yeah i have, he's the one that gives the quest i am stuck at now
yeah hes in the same bunker as the doctor is now
Hmm
dont tell me my save is bugged :))
And did you escort him through Yantar?
through yantar? not really.. i escorted him past the tunnel with the anomaly's which was part of his quest. (and im pretty sure that was the end of his quest) then i ran back to the bar to sell items cuz my iventory is fucked. when i came back later to yantar he was there.
You escort Kruglov through Wild Territory, then in Yantar you go out and take measurements with him on psy field around the facility
Yeah
yee i did, but he has nothing to say. first time he was like go talk to the doctor to get your suit. that's all of his dialogue
and sorry 
He either dies or survives, either way you go back to Sakharov
Talk to him again
And then you go find Vasiliev's body by the chopper
And only after that you go to X-16 and turn the machine off
ill load up my game again and run to him but im pretty confident my home boy has no more dialogue for me
neither have anything to say 
i guess something went wrong here, when he entered yantar i didnt go with him. i went back
i already found it strange there was zombies around their bunker when i got there.. i suppose something didnt go the way it was supposed to lol
no more ideas? 😭
That's normal
No clue what went wrong
oh well seemed strange since they entered the bunker without clearing any of them but doesnt matter ig
i meant kruglov got into the bunker without clearing any of them. but doesnt matter
i tried posting for help on the subreddit but my post got deleted without any notice 
Reddit doing what it does best, tbh
Who are the objective "bad guys" of Stalker from Loner/Freestalker POV.
Do Monolith just have like, extreme Radiation Poisoning? to the point that they're cultists?
test
yo could someone type rq
brain scorched
In a way
They were jolly Rock lovers before cultist dudes
?
Fallout sucks, see why
monolith, bandits, renegades
Rite
there's no good guys in the zone, all stalkers are outlaws and murderers so its more about who is less bad
I see
makes sense lol
I mean, Ecologists are probs the "best" faction in terms of morality
even loners trying to scam or screw over others, naturally
they just wanna study the zone, nothing more
So yeah, Morally the best
They want nothing to do with the stupid stuffs that goes on with the factions
exactly
I'm sure its been asked and answered a million times, but why the extremely selective markets on the Ultimate edition?
My guess is that GSC wants to get to the biggest sellers, because they have lots of clients which means big money. Other people will buy the game via Steam or Microsoft Store digitally.
Yeah but now I have to try and get an import. You'd think that the US market would be plenty fine for spending.
Are there suits good enough for the reactor place, because there is alot of rads
Just finished new Vegas for the first time, can’t say I agree for the non-Bethesda studio ones
It is the best Fallout for a reason
Aye
The rest just sit far, far, far in the back
If FO4 and FNV were matched together into a game there would be no better
Oh like that one mod that’s trying to bring new Vegas into fo4?
Yeah hold on lemme find it
Seems like someone read my mind 😄
I havent heard about project like that, but last I heard was that London mod if I reckon
It’s looking impressive
Oh yeah, I wanna play that at some point, but I’m going to have to get fo4 again
It is...
wdym? Download?
No, buy
I had it on my Xbox one but I’ve permanently moved to pc so I probably have to get it on steam in order to get that mod
aaaaa
Comes to sale sometimes so just grab it then
I remember it being like 8-10 euros last time
Yeah I might
It’s free on gamepass but I don’t know whether I can download mods on it or not so I’d rather just buy it
Even if I’ve never liked the story
You cant, gamepass doesnt allow you to modify gamefiles
Yeah I suspected that
what faction do I make friends with in CS? which one has the best stuff and helps me get to the good ending?
monolit
Man when will we be able to pre order the retail edition of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 with all the things inside? I’ve been looking every so often and still takes me to the $59.99 version…
fredom because ye
freedom more like infidels 
I mean bro if you don't worship the glowing rock that talks are you even really a stalker

What are you saying?
I know that
Unfortunately brother, just because you find it of poor humour does not mean I will stop myself from using the meme potential of my own faction as the rest of the factions do

monolith saying monolith for 20000 times a hour
Explain how
Killing people who are not with monolith
Is quite correct to faction
Reason: Bad word usage
BRO YOU CANT SWEAR
1984
Monolit members trying not to say "O, монолит" for 5 minutes

Why are people this...
Why aren't you asking when the game will really release
Cause April 28 doesn't look right anymore with this much silence
Guys, is there a better viewmodel addon?
The hands I got in first person aren't accurate to the uniform I'm wearing

I'm not expecting the game to release on the given day anyway
Inevitable
Similar to what happened with Dying Light 2
I just have patience. They can take however long they need to make the game good. This will be my first S.T.A.L.K.E.R game


Anomaly is a true vibe if you want to just jump into the deep end.
still no retail edition for the U.S correct? unsure if i missed something
alr thanks
you might put off that weed next time
Playing CoP Is there any reason to not kill the bandits in Zaton? I've played CoP many, many times. I remember once that I found my buddies Awl and Petruka dead at the hand of bandits! Should I just murder bandits I come across? I always play a neutral way.
yeah you can
yeah the reason is that they look kinda cool
so we know location of stalker 2 will be 64km², was wondering if anyone knows size of anomaly map?
I wanna know how much verticality there will be, like bunkers, caves, secret labs haha
boutta turn stalker 2 into postwar minecraft with guns
Murder all of them.
also any idea why the bandit trader in dark valley in Call of Chernobyl doesn't sell any guns?
not even a single pistol, just ammo
If you can possess an artifact IRL (only one), which it will be, and why?
Are the mutant dogs supposed to be blind? If not, devs should have some blind mutants that navigate by sound an/or smell
Moonlight from COP, so I can be telepathic and slowly take over the world with all sorts of mind control and object manipulation... Then I bring the entire planet to its knees and turn earth into Monolith entirely.
They are blind
Except pseudog
Yeah so in stalker 2 they should navigate by sound/smell... That would be cool and make them more creepy
They already do that
Noice
If you walk too close to them they sniff at you and bark
Also i think blind dogs always tilt their head down as navigating their way
When they are not in combat state
Map of all vanilla stalker maps combined is around 10km so the anomaly map is probably like 11/12km
so that means fast travel ? 🧐
fireball
cause i love sphere stuff
Hopefully not
If they add fast travel, the whole point of exploration will be gone
mmm theres games where exploration is still good that have fast travel.. also imo the exploration content in stalker games really isnt that special but i expect most of you to disagree with me on that
Well, it depends on how much exploration GSC plans to add to Stalker 2
If the map is truly 64 square and the time you need to beat the game is 100+ hours as the guys from GSC said, then I think the map will be highly explorable.
When it’s 64km2 it will be
Moonlight from SoC, just in case if i need to run away from a group of guys i pissed off
in CoP exploration is good
Gravi
Yeah, CoP is full of little hidden spaces you wouldn't really find without exploring a lot.
Like Strelok's stashes
Or the UAV crash site
dangerous cave too
Yeah
Some of the buildings in Pripyat which can be explored
Or the snork caves
This actually might not count, since you have to go there for a quest
There’s probably gonna be a ton of underground areas in S2
Not even labs
just underground areas in general
Which I’m super excited for, the undergrounds are some of the best parts of stalker
Like hidden basements of houses
hmmm oh yeah sure no doubt
i went to the minefield yesterday in cop, pretty unexpected ending lol
scared tf outta me
Duga underground 
Basically censorship
If I had to choose, I'll go with an artifact that lets you die painlessly
Cause this world is broken to death
Its not censorship when I can control what info is available and allow for it all to be available
If it's for exposing information that has to be public but isn't, yep isn't censorship
Hopefully we can see the artifact Strelok is holding from a cutscene in ShOC on S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Or is it an artifact anyway?
I don't recall using artifacts in SoC. I think they always gave you minus is something, which made me avoid them.
avoiding artifacts 
Yeah I don’t recall hunting for them. Was busy keeping my guns clean and my inventory stocked. It was in the mods like Misery that I used artifacts.
I mean, even if you don't use them it's free money
Guys, will stalker 2 be out on consoles?
If it is, will stalker 2 be available for the original Xbox one? Or is it only for the next gen consoles?
Next gen only i suppose
Since it will have demanding system requirement
Even if in next gen consoles it's getting downgraded anyways
Damn
I'll just get a good pc
But before getting stalker 2, i want to play some of the older games. I have never actually played any of the stalker games, can someone recommend me which stalker game should i start of with?
- Shadow of Chernobyl
- Clear Sky
- Call of Pripyat
There should be a sale soon I think, if you haven’t gotten them already
Anomaly is probably the best on offer right now. I've just heard about XRMPE and my mind has been shattered to a million pieces. 
Is it possible to change the language in shadow of chernobyl?
If you got it through Steam, yes
I want it in russian instead of english tho
does anyone know if we'll get any kind of game update any time soon?
times are getting dark
I heard shadow of chernobyl has a lot of bugs, is there a mod that can fix them?
what's with the call of chernobyl npcs? they keep running around with no equipments like they've been robbed. it usually happens
When there are 3 npcs, 1 is fighting and the rest just run
"You know anomlies move right?"
Military:
Since when?
Fake
It's fine
i finished soc many times and i didn't find any bugs
idk what these people talking about
no mods
100% vanilla
i never understood that meme the only game that was buggy or crashed a little was cs
It was on launch
The game has been patched quite a lot since 2007
But the only weird thing I encountered in my last playthrough was an infinite radiation bug
of SoC I mean
waiting patiently for a news "emission"
the only thing i like about soc is that
im just asually walking and an artifact pop out in front of me
Sup gamers
all 3 stalker games are good
hi
@finite dragon if you havent tried all of the previous sequel, i suggest you play Chernobyl, then Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.or Clear Sky last. but you should know that these were old games. old af, so best just go in and enjoy the story and atmosphere, dont expect high quality graphics unless you want to put on mods.
“Soon™️”
It's usually the mods that cause the problems. People play with mods, encounter bugs and then say that's the game itself. The game should be fine without any mods
In case people didn't see yesterday, we released a new STALKER NEWS article/newsletter. Lots of goodies in there, so please check it out. I'd appreciate it.
https://www.moddb.com/groups/c-consciousness/news/stalker-news-november-22nd-2021
We will
Once EA releases Fifa 2044, Blizzard shells out Warcraft 10 and...
i never really fully played the stalker games, only knew about them but recently i got into it more. gonna buy all 3 games and play them in order, i also already own a roadside picnic so thats a plus!
i know the games can get very frustrating
quicksave simulator
will i have to rebind my quicksave keys to mouse 4 and 5?
whatever’s convenient for you
im also still not sure what difficulty i should play on
Master difficulty, always.
any other difficulty is trivial at best
already heard that master is the best difficulty to play on by i normally stick with medium on most games
il try master on the first game
and if i learn it properly
il use master on the rest of the games aswell
Master, if my memory serves me right, just makes the game fair since both you & the enemies all die in (basically) the same amount of hits.
It's what I started on for my first playthrough, and it's all I've ever used since.
oooo, so no enemies that take a million shots to kill?
No. Especially if you land headshots.
Even pistols can realistically pull through for you, if your aim is good enough (Though pistols are still outclassed).
do you have torrent for gunslinger mod
I don't, personally. Check the mod channels, maybe.
im just starting out with the games, i dont plan on using mods for a bit
It's even easier in the other difficulties
I thought that easier difficulties also made enemies take more hits too, or was that a myth?
il just try master and see if im comfortable with it
I've never noticed extra hits anyway, since I just stick to hunting shotguns and vintars, but that's just what I've heard.
can anyone explain this to me in SoC:
i see an obokan, the description reads its supposed to be better than the ''outdated'' akm, but then i look at my akm and its better in every stat bar a little bit of stopping power
am i missing something here or
According to the wiki, the Obokan has better accuracy at the expense of handling. That seems to be it.
Also heavier and worth slightly more.
A myth
Here's the real difficulty changes
Oh, crap. Lol. Guess my entire life's been a lie 
Honestly I'd still recommend Master, even now that I know it's actually harder. Just feels right after a while.
il just start off with master
Master isn't too hard with a good equipement, tbh
probably damaged as hell
Well ig it would swap difficulty either instantly or after loading a save?
Exactly. Master isn't even that hard lol
Everything is easy with OP weapons like Vintar
Bruh, with challenges like that even Novice difficulty will get hard
I mean it is definitely hard
And yeah exactly the strategy, even tho in the labs you're gonna have to pack on like 500 9x18 bullets if you're planning to get out of there alive
And let's not talk about enemies with headgear
Ah hell no, there's not enough cash for that trash
Also you gotta have more than 1000 bullets for sure
You either don't get hit or kill before getting hit
Not sure if even 1500 will be enough
If you get hit you're dead
Needs some precision though
Enemy aim at Master difficulty was extremely accurate
Yeah
Also hospital in CS was kinda unique btw
master is cringe veteran is way to go
Nah
Master is the only way if you are looking for some real experience
Other difficulties are meh, even on "hardest" one it's still not as hard as you would expect it to be
Master Gang

Will Retail version be available in Serbia?
i hope so too
Sup people?!?!
Will stalker 2 have poop physics
Asking the real questions
In game, are there any bandits that hunts artifacts with detectors? Or they just take it from loners?
don't see it in-game but i guess there should be some
generally they would run a labour camp of loners and force them to find artifacts for them
work smart not hard
hello
hi blin
stalker best game ever
Da
You mean the concentration camp in CS?
It exists

incase anyone still cares 🤣 you have to do x18 before x16
Did I miss the UK ultimate retail release?
will the stalker pack go on sale for todays sale on steam?
Don’t see why it won’t
Most importantly why is he asking this
It'll be Steam Sale #53275325672395623957235235923652357923952395239
At this point even the last person in South Africa has the game bundle
In SoC, are you supposed to do the ||Lab X-18|| mission before the ||defending Rostok/ecologists from Mercs in the wild territory|| mission? I think I might’ve just accidentally messed up my game by going there first and unintentionally triggering a main quest
I dont think so? Dont you need the Suit from the doctor in yanmar before being able to get into x18? Or is that a wrong conclusion i got from the radiated entrance/gate in dark valley
Well I got the quest for X-18 long before I went into the wild territory
yeeh same.. i dunno
You have to do X-18 long before you step in Yantar
I haven’t gone to Yantar yet, all I did was go into Wild Territory to do a side quest and immediately got thrown into a wild goose chase with Professor Whats-his-face all the way through that tunnel with all the crazy fire anomaly stuff and then went back to Rostok
By the way is there any way around that tunnel if I want to go to Yantar or whatever is West of Wild Territory?
bruh ping in memes? had false hope again thanks
stalker 2 does not exist, everything is an illusion caused by brainscorcher
not a big loss, we still get the trilogy
replaying trilogy forever can only get you so far
Confirmed!
