Good thing that they added that ability ngl

i cant imagine X8 without a Gauss as my secondary

finite dragon For me it was just confusing lol

it took me like 40 minutes and half that time was searching for the last document in the flooded labratory

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:41 PM

#

Even though game gives you an option to leave from there after collecting the main document you still want to get more

#

And are getting lost a lot in the process

Literally every single time

where you find "Rainbow emitter - main technical characteristics"

coarse reef cop had the worst level design hands down

i liked the levels just not the undergrounds

and by undergrounds i mean only X8

#

Actually underground levels having such design doesn't seems way off

I didnt like Jupiter. it felt like once you left the train station all life disappeared

coarse reef Dec 6, 2021, 8:45 PM

#

which is why i'm kinda worried about the open world in stalker 2 i hope they really take their time with it

#

cop maps felt rushed

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:46 PM

pripyat felt empty even after all the things ive heard about people saying "pripyat was filled with monolith left and right"

#

Can agree

coarse reef Dec 6, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

lol

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:46 PM

ive heard that pripyat was full of enemies in all the games but CoP felt so lifeless and ez

coarse reef Dec 6, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

i wish it was like that

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

Zaton's situation was a lot better

#

like i saw 2 Bloodsuckers the whole time i was in Pripyat

#

After Jupiter meh

#

You don't see a lot of ppl roaming around

#

Zaton was best, Jupiter felt lifeless except for a few areas, and Pripyat was a let down

#

especially after going through that hell in the underground

#

neither attacked me, i sniped one with the Guass rifle

#

they even saw me, like filled up the sight meter, never attacked me

coarse reef Dec 6, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

pripyat was very disappointing, like you had the gauss rifle already, imagine how cool it would've been if there were like random monolith snipers in all of those commie blocs hunting you down

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:49 PM

#

coarse reef pripyat was very disappointing, like you had the gauss rifle already, imagine ho...

everywhere felt like a trap and i was sad that it never was

coarse reef Dec 6, 2021, 8:49 PM

#

yeah exactly

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

like when Strelok came to the military base

#

i was talking to myself like "this is totally a trap"

#

like i was so ready to kick some Monolith

#

that weird roar/moan?

#

oh yeah

#

that was creepy

#

There's a theory about that, which says something like those loud voices are flashbacks of Degtyarev

#

That was evacuated from Pripyat in his youth

#

Considering that he was born in Pripyay that does seems believable to some extent

#

Ohhh

#

Oh hell no lol

#

Seen that vid

#

oh yeah that radio LOL

#

i thought that guy was getting... something from things

#

Felt bad as heck for people that played with THAT dub

I'll send you an opening scene of SoC in Russian language if you want

I can't help but wonder how did Sid had access to that chicken

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:05 PM

#

finite dragon I can't help but wonder how did Sid had access to that chicken

looked good too imo

#

Chicken in the Zone is a very rare delicacy

#

the zone in chicken is an even rarer delicacy

#

And just minority have access to it (if even they have access to it)

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:06 PM

#

finite dragon the zone in chicken is an even rarer delicacy

smile_degtyarev

#

what do you think Flesh tastes like

#

do you think it still would taste like a pig?

#

If it was cleared by radiation and filtered somehow then it could be possible

#

i imagine it'd just taste burnt no matter if it was cooked or not

#

Also possible

#

this is the biggest question of Stalker

#

"What do mutants taste like"

#

Also another question is how are they cleaning the dead mutants

#

Filtering them I mean

#

i dont think they do tbh

#

eat some flesh with a side of Vodka

#

I actually doubt that they are eating radiated mutants but even if they aren't then it isn't too off either

#

quick question, how do I get Noah to not blow my brains out?

#

That's the neat part, you don't

#

smile_degtyarev

#

Unless you kill him but that's kinda another subject

#

is there a way to not kill him?

#

ik thers an ending for him living to the end or sumthin but idk how to get that lol

#

Pretty much

#

im excited for artifact hunting in Stalker 2

#

cant wait to see new textures for the Bear and Veles

#

If you completed the game with Noah alive it'll say something like stalkers coming across his barge during an emission, and that the barge was attacked by snorks

#

But Noah and his 3 dogs defended it

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:15 PM

#

finite dragon If you completed the game with Noah alive it'll say something like stalkers comi...

yeah ik

#

i read the wiki

#

should i jsut never go to Noah?

#

Impossible, because he is needed to help you find a path to third helicopter on Zaton

#

wdym

#

i went to the Burnt Farmstead before meeting him and the Space Anomaly was there

#

Also if you're planning to complete the game on stalkers side then you shall go to him to get Compass artifact

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

finite dragon wdym

Wait so jumped in it?

#

yeah

#

Ngl, I never did that without Noah doing it first

#

Never once in all my 3 playthrough's

#

i got all the anomalies i could from Zaton before going to the Skadovsk

#

lol

#

so excited for these factions in Stalker 2

#

Unique thing about CoP, is that you can handle quests on your way

#

And handle them differently

#

i like hte quest with Sultan

#

Such as turning Fling into Gonta or turning him to Loki and etc

#

Flint*

#

A lot of choices

#

Oops

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:20 PM

#

finite dragon i like hte quest with Sultan

Never did his quests tbh

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

finite dragon Never did his quests tbh

i only did the one that is the midnight raid thing, never side with his guys

#

its just ez money and medkits lol

#

The one with Sevchenko doesn't count as well, because I already informed Beard that me and bandits are planninf to attack stalkers

#

CoP feels like a walk in the park becaues of how ez it is to get Medkits lol

#

literally at the end of the game i had like 60+ medkits in the Skadovsk

#

Planning*

#

i wonder how the Monolith is gonna be in Stalker 2

#

Ye in CoP medkits and bandages aren't an issue

#

In fact many things aren't

#

except sausages

#

i only ever really find bread, sausages are moderately rare

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

finite dragon i wonder how the Monolith is gonna be in Stalker 2

They should be less powerful for sure, and less aggressive too

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

finite dragon They should be less powerful for sure, and less aggressive too

I mean the Wish Granter, mb

#

but the Monolith faction is gonna be exciting too

#

Monolith should be in the next part but what role they'll play is a big mystery

#

yeah very curious about htat

#

Would like to see Monolith members that got out of brain control like Strider

#

especially with that trailer scene at hte Chernobyl NPP

#

wonder if they calmed down or sumthin

#

I mean years have passed since CoP so most likely yes

#

Many monolithians became "normal" again after destruction of CC

#

yeah

#

i hope the voice overs are a bit better in HoC, like the opening/ending stuff

#

the subtitles and voiceover didnt match at all lol, gave me a slight headache

#

Another thing (imho) that didn't really fit is that stranger having such a good hair

#

My man had an ideal hair in a Chernobyl that is full mutants, radiation and etc

#

Dude Stranger looked like he came straight from a commercial

#

Ikr

#

Bro probably spends more Rubles on his hair than ammo

#

I legit wonder how the heck does he have such a good hair

#

It's even better than some people's in the real world, lol

#

He reminds me of the dude from resident evil

#

Oh yes

#

Leon Kennady. Many noticed the similarity

#

Yeah lol

#

He was talking about something like Zone couldn't live until "he" was alive

#

I really hope that this "he" won't be Strelok

#

Nah Strelok is balding he wouldn’t have that fine hair

#

No I mean Strelok won't die

#

"She couldn't live until he was alive" or something like that after Skif and that stranger were talking about that "he"

#

yeah

#

Knowing the other games I’d put $50 on “he” being Strelok

#

But judging by these lines Strelok is most likely the one they were talking about

#

Yeah

#

Plus he's the one who potentially could hold or even destroy the Zone

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

finite dragon Nah Strelok is balding he wouldn’t have that fine hair

Oh about that

#

He had a lot of hair in his good CoP ending actually

#

Before that he was always bald

#

Which is kinda weird considering he should've been in the Zone for at least few years if not more

still ridge Dec 6, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

That or degtyarev

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

finite dragon He had a lot of hair in his good CoP ending actually

he looked like he was balding

#

CS started in 10 September of 2011 and likely ended in the middle or near the end of the same months. Strelok was being brainwashed by CC for months apparently

#

I hope Nimble is in Stalker 2

#

Since SoC started in 1 May of 2012

#

what if "he" is Nimble?

#

lol jkjk

#

Weird that he was still bald in the opening SoC cutscene

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

finite dragon Weird that he was still bald in the opening SoC cutscene

my guy looked like he had 3.5 hairs total on his head

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

finite dragon my guy looked like he had 3.5 hairs total on his head

smile_strelok

#

But fr, that's pretty interesting question

#

His hair didn't grow up for months?

#

He did have a hair at the end of CoP so he doesn't have a total baldness too

#

yeh

#

Plot twist: C-Consciousness was secretly giving him haircuts

#

smile_degtyarev

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

finite dragon His hair didn't grow up for months?

mighta used a knife as a razor

#

lol jk

#

That's possible but would be kinda hard

#

It would require very good skill as well

#

mighta got very very very slow cancer

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

finite dragon It would require very good skill as well

Strelok pretty skilled been in the Zone for like ever

#

For sure

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:44 PM

#

finite dragon mighta got very very very slow cancer

From all that radiation it's a wonder he didn't had a cancer way before

#

i doubt there wasnt a single pair of scissors in the entire zone and a STALKER who used to be a barber

#

i mean they have Alcoholics

#

might be like Cardan, give a guy enough Vodka and he turns into a barber

#

Both things are possible but chances of them happening isn't very high

#

yeah

finite dragon Dec 6, 2021, 9:46 PM

#

finite dragon might be like Cardan, give a guy enough Vodka and he turns into a barber

smile_scar

#

tbh Streloks got a sort of "buzz" style so its probably just ez to give himself a cut with a crappy pair of scissors

#

Perfect in it's simplicity I would say

#

yeah

#

Honestly can't imagine Strelok or Deggy with other hair styles

#

id say they have an electric razor in the zone somewhere, but what places in the zone have power AND outlets?

#

That's actually a pretty sick idea

#

But in the Zone I doubt that it would've worked out

#

wait

#

the cultural center maybe?

#

Doubt that there are many common razers even

#

Let alone electric ones

#

yerah

#

tbh only places i could think of with power and outlets would be the NPP

#

streloks been there like twice or sumthin so like he cut his hair twice XD

#

Think_about_it

#

hair was down to his knees before, last woman in the zone, went to the NPP and buzzed it all off

#

CULTURAL CENTER PROBS

while i favor CoC more i can admit that anomaly does have some virtues that make it a good game

sharp plank Dec 6, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

I don’t like Anomaly as much as the base game for very simple reason : You somehow gain less from hunting anomalies and artifacts than in comparison to base game. The cost of damaging your suit in an Anomaly after getting an artifact isn’t worth going into the anomalous areas in the first place.

Where will the road take you? You can go to the Plateau and end up in the Catacombs. The road to the Garbage can lead to the Bandit Camp. And not a single friendly soul around to help...

And that’s how it is. Walking into nowhere without a single idea of return. If you return at all, of course.

Better not to think about it. Maybe we aren’t real at all. Like some kind of shadow within a sad dream.

Pripyat is fairly large. IDK if all the city is gonna be in the game, but the city itself I am gonna guess is gonna take up a good chunk of the nothern part of the map.
