[crimson tinsel]

Nft

[slim stone]

Cyberpunk also said it was a story-driven RPG game, and now it's marketed as an action game with RPG elements.

[fickle bison]

Self publishing? Isnt microsoft footing the bill?

[slim stone]

[tired anvil]

It's one of the older memes. Surprised you don't know. It's just a rule of the internet

[tired anvil]

No, Microsoft barely doing anything

[pseudo rivet]

If it was brought like "Donators who support our game development will get their very own NPC", then that would be different

[solid dome]

Nope they will go cause even if it's named "PornGib" it has some nasty ideas underneath

[humble pivot]

Yeah, in this case the NFT works as a IOU note which you can trade or claim

[vernal magnet]

Agreed

[solid dome]

Name doesn't change a thing

[fickle bison]

Dont tell me sergei ran out of money again...

[solid dome]

I don't browse much of the general internet

[still ridge]

Ofc not

He just wants more

[tired anvil]

Exact opposite if he's funding it himself

[vernal magnet]

The fact that it’s something you can win to trade or sell is kind of low key scummy. It promotes scalping

[slim stone]

They could've just made it something like one of those excessively expensive kickstarter bonuses and nobody would've batted an eye

[vernal magnet]

The winner should be the winner

[crimson tinsel]

Imagine STALKER where you play as Sidorovich

[obsidian badger]

oh hey this actually sounds interesting

[slim stone]

but no they had to make it an NFT.

[hard stirrup]

This NFT stuff means literally nothing to the average gamer

[prisma goblet]

If think that this idea pretty great

[solid dome]

Funny thing, he saw he runs out of money too damn quick and decided to figure out something in return. JOKE POST.

[brazen hemlock]

Microsoft is against NFTs

[timber kite]

How is this NFT stuff even close to what the community wants ?????

[brazen hemlock]

That's what they said

[random vortex]

Looking forward to the mod that removes all the NFT NPCs. 😎

[primal copper]

I can confirm this

[slim stone]

That's the neat part, it ain't.

[pseudo rivet]

It's not what the community wants at all

It's just something new

Imagine this, guys

[crimson tinsel]

Imagine literally being Sid doppelganger and you get into stalker 2 via nft

[timber kite]

Yeah like i don't want any part of it

[brazen hemlock]

Yeah I mean, they could just have microtransactions for multiplayer

Isn't that enough?

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER 2 becoming the new C&C4

[prisma goblet]

No women mod + no nft mod = true stalker 2 experience

[pseudo rivet]

Way too experimental

[edgy isle]

https://wccftech.com/stalker-2-is-getting-a-metaverse-of-blockchain-nfts-and-weve-asked-the-developers-why/

[solid dome]

Imagine talking one thing to media and different to the actual customers

[timber kite]

Or you know, just develop a good single player game

[brazen hemlock]

Yeah, I prefer single player, but I wouldn't mind microtransactions in the multi

Looking at the industry right now...

[obsidian badger]

i mean, this could actuaslly stop egs from implementing nfts, which sounds good

[timber kite]

I've cancelled my pre order, which hurts because I was really looking forward to playing stalker 2 having sunk thousands of hours into the other 3 games and mods.

[noble mica]

Like red dead redemption 2?

[mild storm]

NFT doesn't mean that game will be bad... Or is it ?

[primal copper]

100% a moder will remove the face of the NFT winner and I will donwload it straight away

[obsidian badger]

i just hope they wont go trough with this crap

[brazen hemlock]

Not that way ofc

[finite dragon]

I still hope they give up on that idea.

[hard stirrup]

@timber kite bruh... shtup no you didnt

[brazen hemlock]

I mean cosmetics

[ruby rune]

https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1471159866316271626?t=ELrJumHhlAaUDKVfTc_gEA&s=19

[pseudo rivet]

I dunno, GSC did say that STALKER 2 would be AAA quality

[vernal magnet]

Hey now don’t remove me and Gajunas and krezzin if we win! Don’t you want to squat with us?

[timber kite]

Yes I did

[pseudo rivet]

You know what that means

[slim stone]

Hope? In this day and age? You must be new 'round here.

[timber kite]

I can not support a company thats so out of touch with the community

[brazen hemlock]

Right now is NFT quality

[topaz herald]

@finite dragon

[wispy walrus]

the only weird part about this is its the highest payer gets the npc, but but they can trade it like an NFT afterwards up until game launch

[timber kite]

Things looked so good earlier, but now they've confirmed they're not in touch at all

[wispy walrus]

that's just stooopid

[pseudo rivet]

Heya

[primal copper]

so still, an NFT

[still ridge]

“Confirmed” is a strong word

[prisma goblet]

Guys remember: the only true stalker 2 is clear sky

[pseudo rivet]

Welcome to #en_rant

[little oar]

From the article:
"There is a strong anti-blockchain/NFT sentiment among gamers. Ubisoft recently introduced its Quartz platform and the reveal video quickly amassed an extremely high amount of dislikes on YouTube. Don't you fear that this may influence the currently positive sentiment surrounding STALKER 2?

We believe our community will benefit and appreciate everything the Metaverse will bring. This includes rewards, winning assets, trading, and the opportunity to earn and have fun at the same time. Indeed, there is a certain tension towards blockchain and NFTs, because lots of things have been done improperly in the space. We are taking this path as we would like to be amongst the first who will bring their community to a new digital era."

the opportunity to earn and have fun. Earn what? What are earning exactly?

[vernal magnet]

Exactly

[fringe steppe]

Im going to steam and report stalker 2 for fraud,we must send a message to gsc,no matter how harsh

[brazen hemlock]

I cannot understand how they thought it was a good idea

[normal sparrow]

"Hey bro you can own a piece of code that says this polygons in the game is me, Jimmy Crypto, for only 5 billion bucks."

[brazen hemlock]

Seeing how hyped the people was...

[vernal magnet]

Grenadaaaa

[pseudo rivet]

That's honestly the first mistake everyone made

Being hyped

[potent bluff]

[timber kite]

Which i use because simply announcing this NFT stuff is massively out of touch. Did ANYONE ask for this?

[wispy walrus]

nope whoever it gets traded to will become the npc up until the game launch

[pseudo rivet]

Never, EVER, be hyped about something

[wispy walrus]

its WEIRD

[pseudo rivet]

Second mistake is having hope

[little oar]

nice pfp

[brazen hemlock]

I wasn't

[pseudo rivet]

Neither

[primal copper]

imagine Putin buying that sht lmaoooo

[fringe steppe]

Thanks

[brazen hemlock]

After Cyberpunk I'm not hyped for anything

[slim stone]

That's good then, I wasn't hyped, I was mediocrately interested.

[timber kite]

I wanted to believe stalker 2 would be different

[noble mica]

Someone call the Bogdanoff twins, they're rich enough to be a Stalker 2's NFT.

[deep marlin]

Stalker nft proyect looks like the monolith wish bad ending
Really bad

[vernal magnet]

Remember when they put life of Boris in a stalker mod and it was pretty chill? Good times. Now it’s NFT’s 😂

[pseudo rivet]

I was never hyped for STALKER 2

[fickle bison]

I have a confession: im not cancelling my pre-order

[normal sparrow]

Bogdabots as late game enemies

[mild storm]

I will just wait for a solid gameplay trailer then make my decision. Right now this NFT thing doesn't mean shit. Only the game does. It's just an extra

[vernal magnet]

Blasphemer

[sleek light]

Wait... Wasn't games using NFT prohibited to be sold on Steam?

[pseudo rivet]

Didn't think it would have the original feeling of the older games

[humble pivot]

The NFT has to be claimed first before the NPC is created. Before that people are just trading the right to be made into an NPC

[brazen hemlock]

It's just gonna be the first of many...

[tender bane]

Yeah

[wispy walrus]

imagine thinking s2 would actually be like the original 3, an entirely new dev team, no THQ, a new engine, etc

[brazen hemlock]

Shame

[ashen axle]

Seenyurr#2398 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sleek light]

MASSIVE OOF

[pseudo rivet]

Kek

[deep marlin]

Yes, the ban is inevitable

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, way it looks like atm, GSC don' goof'd

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hard stirrup]

i honestly dont understand what the fuss is about.. you guys are literally insane

[sleek light]

Unless they do something real quick

[thin pulsar]

Yo is this NFT stuff actually happening

[brazen hemlock]

They say they don't use blockchain

[tender bane]

So, who thought this was a good idea lmfao

[thin pulsar]

I just saw that

[primal copper]

its rule 14 on the steam rules

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[wispy walrus]

yes its real

[brazen hemlock]

But Steam forbidds everything related to NFTs whatever it is

[thin pulsar]

Oh my god

[sleek light]

Yep
Cry about it with us

[craggy crystal]

Hopefully they pull a Poppy's Playtime and step back a mile or two lol

[thin pulsar]

Why the hell would they ever

[humble pivot]

The game itself is not using NFTs. Some of the games assets are created from NFT, but they will not be tradeable

[coarse reef]

money

[sleek light]

Why not lmao

[fringe steppe]

That is why we should go to steam and report stalker 2 for fraud,we must make gsc understand us

[vernal magnet]

Oh dang really? Anything related? If that’s the case it does present an argument

[deft rose]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[fickle bison]

No, stalker 2 isnt gonna be banned. They will just remove the nft properties from the game for steam release. Did everyone miss that part of the tweet

[prisma goblet]

The nft can't ne sold after the realease, its written in the article

[sleek light]

War is war... And in war, we have to make sacrifices

[thin pulsar]

That is so corny wtf mad disappointing

[craggy crystal]

because they listen to the community's requests

[brazen hemlock]

Two options, or they quit that stuff on Xbox and Steam, or they won't be able to have the game there

[wispy walrus]

i wouldn't even mind a raffle for getting to be an npc ingame, just the NFT part is dumb

[sleek light]

Same

[solid dome]

Hey I thought... can the metaverse BS be somehow connected with Meta, the new Facebook? Lmao

[deep lily]

what did they do?

[brazen hemlock]

At least from what Valve and Phil Spencer said

[edgy isle]

well, their beliefs are delusional.

[vernal magnet]

I feel like that’s most of the communities sentiment

[craggy crystal]

totally cancelled their nft and apologized lol

[solid dome]

Calling everything Meta I mean. Wut!

[deep marlin]

They no, but dmarket (behind the proyect) uses etherium, and eth is a coin that uses too much energy

[deep lily]

🤣

[slim stone]

That's what I said, nobody would've cared if it was like one of those overpriced kickstarter bonuses lmao

[finite dragon]

its more connected with the crypto meta tokens

[vernal magnet]

Terrible response statement low key

[brazen hemlock]

So it's like tricking Steam and Xbox xD

[wispy walrus]

tbh I hope they just like turn it into a 5 dollar participation raffle to be an npc

[solid dome]

I sneezed 3 times, this means it's true

[ornate compass]

Bless you

[pseudo rivet]

Le fraud

[pseudo rivet]

Bless you, bro

[thin pulsar]

What does the NFT usage in the game entail?

[brazen hemlock]

I'm sure there are a lot of people who have Ethereum interested in this

[solid dome]

God bless

[brazen hemlock]

That's why...

[pseudo rivet]

Kane bless

[fickle bison]

Some npc gets the winners face

[solid dome]

Kane's blessings upon me

[deep marlin]

Really no, any game that uses pseduo nft market is automatically looked for delist

[brazen hemlock]

Then what does the developper say?

[humble pivot]

There won't be NFT usage in-game. One of NPCs are made in exchange for the NFT

[brazen hemlock]

Let's wait to what Xbox says

That's gonna be interesting xD

[wispy walrus]

what really turns me off about this is the HIGHEST payer will get it, then they'll be able to trade it to others up until release, and whoever has it right before release will become the npc

[vernal magnet]

Today’s hot for discussion I need to get me another rank up mee6

[pseudo rivet]

Let's wait for what GSC says

[feral narwhal]

too be in line with the eth used in the nfts of this choice we have too cut down and burn five trees each before we preorder the game

[still ridge]

Let's wait for what GSC says

[deep marlin]

Any way, god bless us all, this is going downhill

[brazen hemlock]

They've talked already

[pseudo rivet]

I'll have a meeting with them tomorrow, so I'll hear from them directly

[vernal magnet]

Late stage Capitalism

[still ridge]

We will have a meeting tomorrow

[solid dome]

Sergiy comes out and puts his Porsche 911 on auction for good cause. Minus the interior stinks of puke!

[pseudo rivet]

We will have le meeting

[still ridge]

they will hear our distaste

and our thoughts

[brazen hemlock]

https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1471148058708791308?s=20

[wispy walrus]

i'd be fine if it was a flat participation fee and random chance like a raffle, but doing it based on highest payer rubs me the wrong way. it just means some crypto whales will suck it up.

[pseudo rivet]

Knowing GSC?

[noble mica]

Give them my greetings.

[ornate compass]

I would prefer his bikes

[pseudo rivet]

We'll be like preachers in a desert

[deep marlin]

Adding a anthropomorphic furry skin nft just for the inmertion in the zone

[vernal magnet]

Exactly. I’d pay a couple hundred for it but that’s nothing compared to what whales will pay

[stark widget]

Back to Anomaly EFP it is… jeez…

[vernal magnet]

Being a hardcore fan means nothing money wins all

[wispy walrus]

try an actually good mod

[deep marlin]

Bad feels

[slim stone]

I'll stick with SPTarkov

[pseudo rivet]

Try Vanilla instead

[noble mica]

Stalker Hunt down the freeman mod.

[stark widget]

Recommends?

[vernal magnet]

Should have done a contest where people submit videos for a chance to win or something

[green quest]

Nfts aren’t gonna ruin this game necessarily but it sets a bad precedent

[wispy walrus]

op2.1

[marble cairn]

spatial anomaly cop mod

[ornate compass]

Vanilla superior

[pseudo rivet]

Vanilla

[coarse reef]

I've played all stalker games for like 400 hours in total and i've never installed a single mod

[ornate sky]

Maybe Zuckerberg will be an NPC

[slim stone]

Misery

[wispy walrus]

the NLC translation should be done some day, think they have like 15 files left?

[noble mica]

Donkey: Stalker complete mod!

[hard stirrup]

people complaining about something thats entirely optional and wont effect gameplay

[vernal magnet]

Pump those rookie numbers up

[finite summit]

Yay NFTs!

[still ridge]

Crazy how people read NFT and lose all hope for the game

[deep marlin]

More like speculators and people who are only looking for profits without knowing anything about stalker

[vernal magnet]

Missing the larger points

[craggy crystal]

Whoosh

[rancid pivot]

burning down trees for some NPC skins does impact everyone else

[normal sparrow]

crazy how you piss in peoples food and they dont wanna eat it anymore

[obsidian badger]

it is still morally wrong

[hard stirrup]

what larger point bro lmao

[pseudo rivet]

They should've lost hope earlier, but later is better than never

[slim stone]

Only the first step. Give them an inch, they take a mile.

[potent bluff]

Once NFTs, always NFTs

[wispy walrus]

idk the fact I still cant preorder the physical edition and there's no guarantees i'll even be able to get the limited amount they'll sell already did that

[slim stone]

Put salt in the wound while it's still fresh.

[rancid pivot]

nfts are just bad for everyone. letting it creep into "legitimacy" thru games is bad

[finite summit]

Will game be unplayable due to NFT?

[prisma goblet]

It's not a big news that gsc likes money...

[craggy crystal]

it'll still be playable, but isn't a good thing

[potent bluff]

Every company like money

[rancid pivot]

yes

[deep marlin]

optional
But when you see a guy who uses a skin out of context you will feel how he damages the environment of the game

[stark widget]

Damage control plan: cancel ntfs, then next day release 15 mins pure gameplay. Win.

[wispy walrus]

buuuutbhuuut @rancid pivot the poor corpo game companies need more $$$$$$$

[ornate compass]

I just pray that the ST2 story would be lore friendly

[hard stirrup]

....what?

[potent bluff]

And GSC stupid enought to choose Ubisoft way

[loud urchin]

Thank you for saying this

[pseudo rivet]

[slim stone]

You're welcome, babe.

[craggy crystal]

mans can't process this many facts at once

[solid cosmos]

So have they clarified on this at all

how about you explain it to me businessSause

[obsidian badger]

dummy cryptobro found lol

[hard stirrup]

whats so damaging about this in stalker 2

[vernal magnet]

Pray to the NFT-olith

[stuck meadow]

Not sure if I understand, but optional NFT, does that mean that you can have your version of the game free of NFTs so that people who got NFTs don't affect your game and game instance?

[craggy crystal]

its not about the game

[potent bluff]

Yea Sergiy and his Ferrari

[slim stone]

I pray to the true god, SLAVA MONOLITA

[ornate compass]

As if one would buy ST2 just for the multiplayer lmao

[craggy crystal]

its about the company participating in bad practices

[ancient turtle]

hi guys

[slim stone]

I mean, I thought I was braindead, but sheesh

[solid dome]

Dire Straits once said... money for nothing...

[fierce igloo]

I'm really glad I saw the nft stuff before I preordered today

[solid dome]

Applies to the current case, no?

[ancient turtle]

what blockchain tech will be used in the game?

[fierce igloo]

Saved me some cash

[tired anvil]

None

[hard stirrup]

bad practices that effect who?

[solid dome]

https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1471148058708791308

[tired anvil]

"This is not a blockchain game, there are no violations of the rules of the site." - GSC

[wispy walrus]

its an NFT to be an npc ingame, its not related to ingame items, they're doing an auction where the three highest bidders get an "NFT" that says they have the right to be an ingame npc, and they'll be able to trade it up until release

[finite summit]

The game that has NFT is garbage by default and can't possibly be good so forget about playing S2

[vernal magnet]

It’s posts like this that legitimately break my heart

[craggy crystal]

nft's are a scam and are bad for the environment bozo

[ancient turtle]

where will the nft launch on ?

[wispy walrus]

i preordered ready or not, got my mouse pad and I was more suspicious about stalker 2 than that

[hard stirrup]

bruh you guys sound dumb

[wispy walrus]

[craggy crystal]

You haven't even said why they are good lmao

[still ridge]

It’s not going to effect the experiences of 9/10 people

[ancient turtle]

like eth , solana tezos where will the nft mint om

[deep marlin]

I'm saving to buy an series x and play stalker, but with this news I feel like a low blow to my hype

[hard stirrup]

i know it wont take away from the stalker game we all love

[finite summit]

Who cares. We want to complain regardless of legitimacy of our reasons!

[hard stirrup]

you guys just sound like old people complaining

[fierce igloo]

They still have time to cancel the nft, I pray to god they come to their senses

[finite summit]

Why tho?

[wispy walrus]

the fact they even chose to do this isn't a good sign.

[potent bluff]

Same... I hate NFT but I'll not canceled pre-order

[loud urchin]

They will spend more time developing skins. They also don’t need to make a better game if they are making money off skins.

[tired anvil]

[deep marlin]

Cuz were are legit stalker fans

[wispy walrus]

as this all centers around WHO pays the most money

[loud urchin]

^

[tired anvil]

Well, they aren't making money off of skins if they are planning on modelling extra NPCs lol

[solid dome]

Why would posts like this break your heart?

[slim stone]

Alot of us likely actually are old people, so...

[sleek light]

I'm couple of days away from Pre-ordering the most expensive retail version and I feel the same

[wispy walrus]

it shows they prefer the option that gives the most profit

[deep lily]

They should call it differently and nobody would bat and eye

[vernal magnet]

NFTs harm the environment. They are a poor approach to a community interaction opportunity. You can only buy them with volatile crypto this furthering gas taxes and electricity and environmental waste. There is a reason everyone is melting down over this, and your the anomaly

[solid dome]

Business has been broken for ages now, every area of it, what age you're living in @vernal magnet

[deft rose]

I think of this as a first step towards monetization. Get ready for Stalker 2 to have content unlocked piecemeal by paying money.

[fickle bison]

We have a season pass, remember

[deep lily]

[wispy walrus]

i'd still complain, as the NFT part doesn't bother me, its the fact whoever PAYS the most gets it

[vernal magnet]

The golden age with my win98 PC and Dos Games

[slim stone]

I think of the retail preorder as buying all the merch goodies and getting a game on the side.

[spice pebble]

Can't wait for the 50 dlcs!

NFT is just a new word for micro transactions. This is just the 1st of many micro transactions. Ik nft arnt exactly micro but I think most ppl will understand my point.

[slim stone]

Makes me less sad.

Well then, you're the only one.

Tbh i doubt the devs care about what we think lol

[stuck meadow]

i remember SoC came with multiplayer...

[brazen hemlock]

I hope they reject this the more quick possible

[finite summit]

I don't understand why everyone is talking about their will for monetization as it's news

[brazen hemlock]

If not they are kinda f*

[solid dome]

Who pays for things that suck?

[potent bluff]

Extra Multiplayer content that can access with special code

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, all the games came with multiplayer

[dreamy kindle]

I was gonna buy STALKER 2, but no thanks, I'm not buying it if they're adding frickin' NFTs

[raven thistle]

i won't be surprised if this nft thing increases the p word

[limber crystal]

yea there was a map you could unlock with a code

[brazen hemlock]

Reddit, Twitter, Discord, YouTube everywhere people doesn't like this

[dreamy kindle]

So disappointed

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER 2 getting it post-launch is another typical AAA practice

[vernal magnet]

On launch with the collectors steelbook tin. Multiplayer maps and skins

[solid dome]

Welp I forgot

[solid dome]

Anyone ever used those skins?

[potent bluff]

Some ppl yea

[vernal magnet]

Yea way back during launch

[solid dome]

Nobody after that I guess?

I will be surprised if gsc doesn't remove nfts,everyone is disliking it,i refuse to believe that they have become this greedy

[ornate compass]

Welcome to capitalism

[tender bane]

So wait, people who made preorders on Steam now have to refund since the game won't launch here? LOL

Reddit moment

[tired anvil]

Man, some people here are dumber than the ones who were originally extremely overhyped for S2

[dreamy kindle]

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. They'll either go full EA or listen to the fans. It's their last chance.

[potent bluff]

NFTs, Cryptocurrency are such stupid ideas

[humble pivot]

All tokens are to be claimed before game release. After that no more NFTs

[ornate compass]

[finite dragon]

[brazen hemlock]

I've seen several people cancelling their preorders, I hope they go back, they have losen a lot of money for this...

Hey now, there’s no such thing as overhyped

Uh, it states that games based/build on blockchain/NFT exchange (pre and after) are not allowed on Steam? It's literally rule nr 14 lmao

[vernal magnet]

Yea but it’s not stalker. Stalker #1 game of all time. Cyberpunk had no precedent

[solid dome]

It's selling stuff outside of Steam which Valve have no control or saying over

[wispy walrus]

it doesnt matter if the NFT bidders drop $5 million in crypto

[hard stirrup]

this is stupid

[brazen hemlock]

Nah, I've seen several

[tired anvil]

It would be EA if they actually affected gameplay. At least as of the current info, it's not blockchain and cosmetic only. So it's not quite like that

[thin pulsar]

Nfts are gonna squeeze the life out of gaming

[brazen hemlock]

Stalker fans eh

[tired anvil]

Nah plenty already did and made sure to tell everyone here because we totally care

[solid dome]

The real problem is if the person who wins happens to be either of different colour or gender

That will tear everything apart

[brazen hemlock]

It's a thing of pression

[dreamy kindle]

Great. Even better. Yeah, if they don't get rid of this sh#t then I'm never gonna buy this game

[hard stirrup]

give it a month they'll buy the game again

[wispy walrus]

tbh imagine preordering in the first place

[solid dome]

And that may happen as well

[deep lily]

what do you mean

[dreamy kindle]

And I thought that Valve is gonna save us. Looks like they're the last good company.

[tired anvil]

It's also following Valve's rules

[thin pulsar]

Plenty of people cancelled nobody wants this bull

[tender bane]

I recall reading about cases wherein KS games had the possibility of being funded through NFTs (and laterlaunch on steam) that valve has blocked. It was an indie developer and I unfortunately cannot recall the name, a bit of an ori clone

[brazen hemlock]

From Software too

[tender bane]

but they made a statement they wouldn't want it to represent the service

[potent bluff]

I wanna see GSC Game World stock ratio now

[finite summit]

Exactly!!!! Nobody has right to win except straight white men!!!!

[finite dragon]

How so?

[tired anvil]

How would Valve "save" you if GSC is following Valve's rules?

[unkempt loom]

honestly the concept of paying to have yourself immortalized as a character in a videogame is, imo, not that bad. its a fun and cool way to show love for your favorite game. but the fact that it is very openly about NFTs instead of being a bonus for pre order or something screams iffy to me

[brazen hemlock]

And Xbox right now is doing good practices

[finite dragon]

got a wave of relief, i fell for the 76 ce, almost fell for this one, glad i waited lol

[dreamy kindle]

Oh, yeah.

[ornate compass]

True

[wispy walrus]

90% sure they're private

[dreamy kindle]

Microsoft too. But that's pretty much it

[solid dome]

SJWism is SJWism

[solid cosmos]

It's not even a new concept. This is just handled incredibly stupid.

[rancid pivot]

i hope valve expands their rules to include games that utilize crypto in any form

[vernal magnet]

Because a passionate fan feels betrayed and his faith in the project crushed. It sucks

[dreamy kindle]

I thought it's in-game and Valve will tell them that they can't do that and they'll have to remove it

[marble cairn]

id Software seems pretty decent as well

[finite summit]

yeah

[ashen axle]

Shirk#7842 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dreamy kindle]

Sadly, they won't.

[thin pulsar]

Lmfao

[tired anvil]

instead of being a bonus for pre order or something screams iffy to me
There's need to be a better way to implement that. Think of how many pre-orders there are out there...

[dreamy kindle]

They're good, but what they did to Mick Gordon, man...

[wispy walrus]

ive never seen a game say "whoever pays the most gets to be an npc in our game"

[brazen hemlock]

It's Xbox

[urban belfry]

GSC needs to do a hard 180 and not touch NFTs

[brazen hemlock]

Right now I mean

[tired anvil]

According to GSC, they don't break any Valve rules, so I guess not

[thin pulsar]

Seems like a lazy ass cash grab

[spice pebble]

Then you don't know what a Kickstarter is

[solid dome]

Expect them to become more popular

[dreamy kindle]

Great...

[brazen hemlock]

And the are doing a good job

[finite dragon]

Well its on Game Pass for 3 months so no harm in trying

[finite summit]

Will it ruin the experience?

[finite dragon]

🗿

[craggy crystal]

Like I get for like kickstarter devs putting supporters in it but not bidding for a spot lol

[brazen hemlock]

Valve/Steam hasn't spoken

[dreamy kindle]

That's the only way I'm playing STALKER 2

[potent bluff]

Small indy game company does that

[dreamy kindle]

If they don't remove this crap

[marble cairn]

imo it was both side and at least we got hulshult and levy now

[solid dome]

Depends how ugly the NPC is designed

[deep marlin]

I can't believe before we were excited for those stalker 2 ingame photos to be disappointed by their integration into the nft

[solid dome]

If it is some freak, ruins experience fo sho

[finite cove]

the STALKER franchise is hardly comparable to a kickstarter indie game

[solid dome]

No hard feelings

[dreamy kindle]

Yeah. I mean, I like the ID people but I just can't like them and not feel bad for Mick

[spice pebble]

Most games that aren't backed/owned by massive company, will offer services like custom npcs for rich ass dudes

[tired anvil]

Of course, but I imagine if GSC said it, then they had to have read the Valve rules at least once lol

[solid cosmos]

Adding fans in to games isnt a new concept. Pillar of eternity had it. Tes 6 is adding a fan. There's a few other games that have made people npcs. It's not a new concept. Them doing this nft stuff is the wrong way to go about it m.

[unkempt loom]

still better than an NFT. besides, i meant along the lines of a bonus on top of ultimate edition pre orders, i.e. a seperate bonus that you can pay extra for, with low quantities and a high price so that not everyone and their mother gets added to the game

[thin pulsar]

Can’t wait to have a 4,000 lbs crypto loser npc to dump off unwanted loot to

[vernal magnet]

Yo if I win I’m gonna have them just scan my Dog into the game

[spice pebble]

Are you serious? Stalker games are literally indie

[finite dragon]

i dont think this will break stalker 2, however i never really had high hopes for stalker 2 being good at all, i do think this nft thing has killed some of its potential sales, they coulda pulled a cyberpunk

[solid dome]

Might have had trouble with the terminology there I suppose

[brazen hemlock]

Valve rule is confusing

[vernal magnet]

Plot Twiiiiist

[finite dragon]

If they don't remove this I'm going to get a mod to remove it or just murder the npc

[unkempt loom]

exactly this

[brazen hemlock]

Let's see what happens

[solid dome]

And be called Dogface? No Dogmeat?

[finite cove]

its not crowd funded

[sonic rampart]

Didn't fallout 76 also have a fan in it

[solid dome]

Yeah

[spice pebble]

Indie doesnt mean crowd funded

[solid dome]

Cancer patient or what

[pseudo rivet]

Heck, even Fallout 4 and 76

[wispy walrus]

Yes, it will, as picking the option to let people become an NPC based on the highest bidder suggests crypto bidding, which suggest bidding in the millions. Such an action suggests they're more lean to sucking up the most profit they can? that could easily translate into how the game is made, how its wrote, etc

[finite dragon]

just have your dog lay on one side, take a picture from above, cut out and flip it for a texture

[finite cove]

kickstarter does though

[pseudo rivet]

Yep

[unkempt loom]

its like putting a fan's name in the credits because they've donated a bunch of money, or kickstarted at a certain tier, but the next logical level (from credits to ingame appearance)

[finite dragon]

thats how i put my cat in a source mod

[finite summit]

Are you saying that we shouldn't make early conclusions and wait until we see the results?

[solid cosmos]

This didnt need to be a nft.

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure if it was a fan, though

[urban belfry]

NFTs make me worry a ton about what the future of the series will do

[solid cosmos]

This is the wrong way to do it.

[finite dragon]

Yeag

[pseudo rivet]

Believe it was a dev

[dreamy kindle]

I'm gonna say it. 76 is good. Not incredible but it's good. For all the microtransactions, at least they're not NFTs

[solid dome]

Yeah. Wait until you rate the experience from 1 to 10.

[rancid pivot]

yeah the NFT stuff is pointless. its just a "look how hip we are" failure

[spice pebble]

Fallout 76 is also considered one of the biggest gaming failures in history as well

[finite dragon]

Yucky nft

[rancid pivot]

you can easily to bidding

[pseudo rivet]

Yep

[finite dragon]

This is kinda concerning

[thin pulsar]

Nfts suck ass

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly, let's be honest

[finite dragon]

its dead, dont forget they partnered with a major publisher that is going to make them do whatever they want now lol

[solid cosmos]

Not worse than cp2077 lool

[pseudo rivet]

F76 was released too early

[solid dome]

Until the trilogy is sold digitally, no issues

[dreamy kindle]

Yeah

[spice pebble]

But fallout 76 was backed by the biggest company in the gaming world and still had fan npca

[solid cosmos]

It was rough at launch but is great now after some work

[finite dragon]

you will live to see manmade horrors beyond your comprehension

[solid cosmos]

Been having a blast with it

[solid dome]

No way on this bloody Earth this franchise won't be ruined. No chance.

[dreamy kindle]

Now, it's a decent game, 7/10 at worst, 8.5/10 at best

[thin pulsar]

Gonna be so cool to see 400 lbs crypto neck ears in my video game

[pseudo rivet]

It's alright after some work

[solid dome]

It'll sooner or later sink in the waters

[finite dragon]

ehhh id say a hard 6

[pseudo rivet]

It's still very grind heavy

[thin pulsar]

Because he paid the most money

[dreamy kindle]

It was developed by the B team

[spice pebble]

Yeah like 2 years early

[hard stirrup]

lmao

[pseudo rivet]

And the enemies are extremely spongy

[finite dragon]

its still unbearably low fps on consoles and still has bugs from beta

[vernal magnet]

ppl cancel orders > game comes out > best game ever > they regret selling their ultimate editions > they go on eBay > ultimate edition $999

[solid cosmos]

I have the most fun weapon that you can get pretty early

[dreamy kindle]

Or maybe it was the C team?

[deep marlin]

Today we witness one of them

[dreamy kindle]

Oh, that's absolutely true

[pseudo rivet]

Now they're returning NPCs to F76

[finite summit]

A franchise either dies good or lives long enough to become bad

[finite dragon]

plus they cant write a decent story or make a single mission thats fun or doesnt break

[pseudo rivet]

And what do we have?

[dreamy kindle]

That happend 2 years ago

[thin pulsar]

fax

[brazen hemlock]

Batman

[dreamy kindle]

OR the opposite is gonna happen

[pseudo rivet]

Settlers, Raiders, some trading company, Mothman cultists and the Brotherhood of Steel

[ornate compass]

As a general rule this applies to everything

[finite dragon]

reminder one of the final missions of the main story of fallout 76 involves you fighting a scorchbeast in a cave, but it can still fly around so its just flying through the cave walls and out of the map

this is still in the game today

[pseudo rivet]

But what about the Responders, the Free States and the Enclave?

[brazen hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/die-a-hero-villai-talking-gif-13405169

[spice pebble]

Eh we won't know if stalker 2 is good or not until release, but still never ever preorder imo

[vernal magnet]

I’ll take that bet.

[thin pulsar]

GSC WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US

[finite dragon]

oh yeah im relying on gamepass

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, but there's some woman trying to rebuild the Responders

[brazen hemlock]

Gamepass in my case

[finite dragon]

gsc kept having cringe moments and they lost my preorder

[dreamy kindle]

Oh yeah, that's a good point... but still, a single girl trying to do that

[brazen hemlock]

Not buying it

[solid dome]

Very few were laid out in the Great Lands

[pseudo rivet]

And in the case of the Free States

[brazen hemlock]

Unless they quit that

[hard stirrup]

i dont believe people are canceling their pre orders and if they do they'll buy the game again eventually 100%

[urban belfry]

S2 was a instant day one preorder sort of deal for me, but now Im really going to wait and see how it shapes up

[dreamy kindle]

And Bethesda is moving on to working on The Pitt DLC

[finite dragon]

i fell for cyberpunk i aint falling for another potential blunder with all these cringe moments they keep doing

[craggy crystal]

you act like people don't care about what the developers are doing

[pseudo rivet]

The Settlers are literally the Free States but with a new coat of paint and less paranoid

[hard stirrup]

what a dumb thing to cancel your pre order over

[rancid pivot]

i don't preorder, but now i'm not regular ordering either unless something major changes.

[pseudo rivet]

Kinda soulless

[solid dome]

I'll be thankful enough it they nail ST2 right, dont care much about ST3

[vernal magnet]

If it was any other game or company I’d pull out completely

[fringe steppe]

I fell for cyberpunk too,no pre order this time

[solid dome]

Cause for sure ST3 will be a true mess if things keep going that route

[deep marlin]

If they back down their decision to integrate nft then of course they do captain obvious

[vernal magnet]

But it literally is my favorite game of all time. I have to see this through no matter what

[dreamy kindle]

That's also a good point

[brazen hemlock]

More NFTs even

[dreamy kindle]

Still, it's better than the abomination that Fallout 4 was

[crude holly]

why not

[finite dragon]

a developer that hasnt released a big game like this for a long time that has already delayed once, with no gameplay footage pulling cringe moments like nfts in their game is a dumb reason to cancel a preorder? LOL

[dreamy kindle]

I mean, story-wise

[finite summit]

Yay NSTs! Go NFTs! Yaaay!

[deep marlin]

[finite dragon]

must consoom

[pseudo rivet]

F4 was wack

[craggy crystal]

[sonic rampart]

Am I the only person that enjoyed Fallout 4 when it came out?

[brazen hemlock]

Cringe xD

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[craggy crystal]

my first fallout game, very enjoyable

[fickle bison]

Stalker 2 was already delayed once, remember?

[brazen hemlock]

There are some people out there

[vernal magnet]

Yup.

[pseudo rivet]

I'm sticking to F3

[finite dragon]

oh yeah my mistake

how many delays is it now?

[solid dome]

Almost gave me a heart attack

[pseudo rivet]

Tactics had the best setting, though

[vernal magnet]

F1 and F2 are best thematically

[dreamy kindle]

Okay, based

[sonic rampart]

Fallout 3 is a bit bland, but it was my first Fallout

So I really enjoy it

[dreamy kindle]

But yeah, F3 is one of the best

[finite summit]

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is best Fallot!

[pseudo rivet]

I personally don't see how it's bland

[sonic rampart]

Still have the CD for it

[dreamy kindle]

Me neither

[brazen hemlock]

New Vegas best Fallout

[pseudo rivet]

The map is way, way better than that of NV and F4

[vernal magnet]

Stalker dunks it’s cajones in fallouts mouth

[deep marlin]

Never forget the funny dialogue with brotherhood of steel

[finite dragon]

i guess im just being paranoid and unreasonable for being skeptical, i should just blindly spend money more and accept any quality

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, the game can be a bit game-y at times, but games are games

[finite summit]

Cringe xD

[crude holly]

as for me, the best 3d part of Fallout series is New Vegas. 4 worse than 3

[dreamy kindle]

YES. FINALLY, SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME

[solid dome]

@pseudo rivetWill I have a refund by Kane if I buy ST2 day one

[finite dragon]

for me, its the fallout tactics

[potent bluff]

No more NFTs when ppl talk about Fallout.. Keep it going!

[stuck meadow]

I actually really enjoyed FO3 🙂

[brazen hemlock]

Cringe you

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, F3 is actually pretty amazing

[solid dome]

Join the gang on Twitter

[pseudo rivet]

Just a bit unrealistic at times

[finite dragon]

fallout nv is good to get toasted and play

[sonic rampart]

I enjoy all fallouts besides 76

[finite dragon]

you feel like a cowboy

[sonic rampart]

Haven't played that one

[frail kernel]

So are the NFTs gonna be in loot boxes too?

[solid dome]

Literally the Twitter page is about to go insane

[stuck meadow]

FO3 with Stalker gunplay would be amazing 😄

[sonic rampart]

Don't have an opinion on it

[dreamy kindle]

Is New Vegas realistic? Sure as heck less than 3

[green quest]

The 2d fallouts never felt fun to me

[finite dragon]

gsc is bringing back the ea multiplayer code

[solid dome]

GSC being roasted on slow fire

[green quest]

Guess I’m just not a masochist

[potent bluff]

I mean keep talking about Fallout I dont want to see stuff about NFTs anymore

[finite dragon]

pay to use the multiplayer function

[hard stirrup]

i couldnt play any of the fallout games. they have little to zero atmosphere just my opinion. except for the originals

[dreamy kindle]

They're awesome, I don't get you, but okay

[finite dragon]

fallouts do lack atmosphere, sometimes

[frail kernel]

Not even New Vegas?

[finite summit]

It was difficult for me to bring myself to play FO 1 & 2 but in the end I really enjoyed them

[dreamy kindle]

Yes

[finite dragon]

fallout 4s far harbor dlc oozed kino atmosphere, riding the boat into the dark foggy fishing village and getting attacked by giant fish mutants rocked so hard

then the dlc sucks after you leave the village

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Far Harbor was amazing

[green quest]

gameplay mechanics

[dreamy kindle]

Far Harbour was in my opinion, one of the best things that ever happened to Fallout

[potent bluff]

[finite dragon]

Far Harbor is better then base Fallout 4

[pseudo rivet]

True

Yeah

[frail kernel]

What about that one DLC in Fallout 3? Point Lookout

[dreamy kindle]

Equally as good

[finite dragon]

Point Lookout is good to

my 3 favorite fallout dlcs have to be lonesome road, honest hearts, and far harbor

[solid cosmos]

Far harbour was a great DLC. I need to spend more time in it.

[pseudo rivet]

Point Lookout's concept is alright, but it's just executed pretty poorly

[coarse reef]

hey don't leak that or we'll get nerfed

[finite dragon]

i just love fallout nvs settings for its dlcs, except dead money

The secert Dunwich Horror quest in in Point Lookout is creepy to

[dreamy kindle]

My favourite are Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Point Lookout, The Pitt and Far Harbour

[finite dragon]

constant red fog adobe hellscape is NOT fun

[sonic rampart]

I gotta play fallout 3 again sometimes

[solid dome]

This is the STALKER discussion channel. Not Fallouts...

[sonic rampart]

Last time I played it was back in 2015

[finite summit]

Fallout is an RPG after all. RPGs very rarely prioritize realism over gameplay mechanics

[frail kernel]

I loved Dead Money

[finite dragon]

stalker is now fallout

[dreamy kindle]

I dunno, the swampfolk 100% make up for the boring gameplay, in my opinion

[solid cosmos]

There's just nothing to see in the mojave wasteland.

[finite dragon]

this

[crude holly]

still love it btw

[pseudo rivet]

I dunno

[placid wigeon]

lmao why is there a stalker metaverse

[finite summit]

Oh so you wanna talk about N*Ts again?

[solid cosmos]

An expanse of orange with little to offer you outside of the main quest that they want you to do

[dreamy kindle]

We want to have fun, who cares

[potent bluff]

Gotta go sleep now guys it 00.57 here..... NFTs stuff gonna give me a bad dream.....

[pseudo rivet]

I found Point Lookout to be pretty boring

[finite dragon]

stalker 2 facebook integration

[sonic rampart]

operation Anchorage was pretty fun

[finite dragon]

notifies your family when you buy a new nft artifact

[pseudo rivet]

Good luck bro

[dreamy kindle]

"WE'RE NOW META"

[sonic rampart]

The DLC

[finite summit]

Because why not(money)

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Operation Anchorage was good

[dreamy kindle]

Gameplay wise? Yes. Story wise? IT WAS INCREDIBLE

[mint moss]

Well If we don't keep talking about it then people will just become complacent and this won't have any chance of being removed

[daring storm]

Can't wait to purchase santa clause skins in S2.

[pseudo rivet]

I found that the weakest part

[finite dragon]

i think what makes fallout nv for me is just how its setup, mailman too angry to die defies a bullet to the head to hunt down the guy that shot him

[crude holly]

hype

[finite summit]

You say as if it will be removed if we talk about it

[finite dragon]

also it has good vas

[frail kernel]

I mean Dead Money wasn't the best, but it had a great concept. Its problem was being in a Bethesda engine

[mint moss]

It's worked for other things

[sonic rampart]

But I loved Fallout 1

[hazy helm]

You called?

[sonic rampart]

Its soundtrack was amazing

[pseudo rivet]

Dead Money had Father Elijah

[sonic rampart]

gameplay was fun too

[finite dragon]

no!

[pseudo rivet]

Insta-based

[placid wigeon]

hype to torrent

[finite dragon]

honest hearts had joshua

[pseudo rivet]

Insta-based

[finite summit]

Wasteland is the best Fallout

[finite dragon]

infinite based

[hazy helm]

Old world blues had both and crazy ramblings my favourite

[solid cosmos]

Can't wait to play more 76 later I've got a shredding minigun that does more damage than anything else and I just blender run through enemies to kill them. It is honestly amazing

[finite dragon]

oh plus it has the father

[fierce bronze]

dude im joining like the other people just to post a message

for the love of the monolith, stop the nft garbage

[frail kernel]

He was the best character with the best ending

[finite dragon]

the old dude that was just stealth killing legion guys forever for revenge

then he started teaching the peaceful tribes to survive

has the 12.7 ar

kino sidequest

[solid cosmos]

Because i've been using it, it's gotten me around 15k ammo for use with a different 5mm gun.

[sonic rampart]

I like honest hearts because of the setting

[crude holly]

obsidian modified it as best as they could. and that's one of the reasons why i appreciate this game

[sonic rampart]

Story is cool ig

[hazy helm]

Fallout 1 is probs the best fallout but damn I love fallout New Vegas

[fierce bronze]

no fallout 2 is the best

[hazy helm]

I unbottled the storm

[sonic rampart]

Fallout 2 is cool but it is a bit too long

[pseudo rivet]

Be Brotherhood of Steel
"Preserve technology"
"ok lol"
Places a toxic cloud over the entire Mojave, killing everyone in it. The Mojave's technology will stay untouched by mankind

[sonic rampart]

Haven't finished it yet

[spice pebble]

Btw not sure if GSC is aware, but steam has banned NFTs and blockchains lmfao

[sonic rampart]

But i like it

[fierce bronze]

thats the fun tho of open world games
it lasts long and you get to try alot of things

[hazy helm]

Where is Tatics love?

[pseudo rivet]

Tactics is the best lore-wise

[frail kernel]

They did the best they could, but Id love to build a whole game around the idea and atmosphere of Dead Money, maybe make a rogue like villa where parts of the city change up and a dense toxic fog have you getting lost constantly

[pseudo rivet]

[solid cosmos]

If that's not based idk what is.

[thin pulsar]

Gsc is completely out of touch with us

Reading their interview regarding the nfts is so deflating

[hazy helm]

Stalker 2 is neither a Blockchain nft game nor will there be NFTs,the items in February are overglorified steam code trading in the vein of Cs go trading

Legit

[fierce bronze]

duty and freedom allying to take down the NFT anomaly thats causing chaos in the zone

[spice pebble]

We'll see.

[hazy helm]

Yhea,we'll see,only time truly tells,tho I hope I'm right

[spice pebble]

If it contains Nfts then it breaks rules, i could be wrong

[thin pulsar]

We need the whole zone to slay this one

[crude holly]

they won't ban s2, as GSC said

[spice pebble]

Time will tell for sure, hopefully they don't remove it

[vale quartz]

how to destroy all the goodwill and disappoint your community speedrun

[spice pebble]

Ah nice then i guess lol

[hazy helm]

It doesn't all NFTs will be activated when stalker 2 releases thus they're more like overglorified codes,they're like dlc

[fathom obsidian]

Has gsc recieved confirmation from valve on that?

[frail kernel]

Now that I think about it, I suggest checking a game out called Sir You Are Being Hunted. Its almost exactly the idea I'm talking about. Its really good

[fringe steppe]

Getting absolutely hated speedrun

[fierce bronze]

steam wont ban gsc becuz they know gsc will stop the nft business

[thin pulsar]

Loose all your preorders and fans (any % no glitch)

[fringe steppe]

I hope so

[solid cosmos]

That's optimistic

[vale quartz]

their excuse to this nft is so weak it's unreal

[hazy helm]

I give up on explaining what GSC meant and what it isn't really nft it's just depressing screaming into the void and getting nowhere

[thin pulsar]

Them explaining how we’ll like the additions in the interview article makes me sick

They said Veteran fans will “appreciate” the additions

Must be a controller in the office

[bold lagoon]

kekw no

[fierce bronze]

it's just bandwagoning on the stupid practice

in reality no fan wanted this, cuz stalker isnt an auction shop

[solid cosmos]

Veteran fans will enjoy hunting these npc's down like mutant's, yeah

[pseudo rivet]

https://gfycat.com/faithfullightdairycow

[frail kernel]

100%. The best way to make sure your game is dead on arrival is announce "Microtransactions will be the biggest part of our game!!" Like, I dropped Halo Infinite over that.

[fringe steppe]

They have the charisma of a molded bread

[vapid marlin]

Eliminate the NFT anomalies

[vale quartz]

"We also think jamming NFT's in games is the lamest thing one can do.

Our initiative is aimed at facilitating the modding culture of our S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, by creating core assets that the community can build on top of." dude what the hell does this even mean?

[bold lagoon]

i wanna be inside of NFT business just to create the bastard who had this brilliant idea and hunt him down in every single possible way

[fathom obsidian]

Modded nfts

[pseudo rivet]

@hazy helm
Think the DLCs will have effect on the modding community, much like Fallout?

[solid cosmos]

We think putting nft's in games is lame, so we're gonna do it anyway

[finite summit]

#CancelGSC

[ashen axle]

Rotisserie Nigga#7662 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hazy helm]

Not at all at least the market ones,they'll be like skins or little items that will not impact gameplay at all

[fickle bison]

I think the biggest problem is that people dont realise they arent putting actual NFT's in the game.

[hazy helm]

Not full fledged dlcs

[pseudo rivet]

No

I mean actual DLCs

STALKER 2 is getting DLCs

[frail kernel]

Just call it what it is, basic parts of the game that are being commoditized being turned into microtransactions so the company can compete with GTAV Online

[vernal magnet]

Sigma Rule #6969 Always shoot Hip in the face

[fickle bison]

GSC is selling the right to put your face in the game as an NFT

[dreamy kindle]

I'm waiting for NFTs in Rust

[crude holly]

ask GSC, i donno. McCulkin (one of the community managers) said that s2 in not a blockchain game and won't be banned because game don't brake any rules.

[thin pulsar]

As soon as I make contact with whatever greazy ogre buys it in game I’m mag dumping on his ass

[pseudo rivet]

You know how NV constantly had issues with the DLCs

[hazy helm]

Depends on what they offer

[dreamy kindle]

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

Same with the modding community

[dreamy kindle]

Yes

[plain zodiac]

Me when I mod the game and do that for free

[open lintel]

@thin pulsar gotta change your name pal

[bold lagoon]

a community creation tab where people can express their love by the game as forza has wouldn't be a bad idea and didnt create such a backlash such as this

[pseudo rivet]

So me's wondering how that's gonna be for STALKER 2

[dreamy kindle]

Yes

[thin pulsar]

Lol I’ll set a nick name

[olive bronze]

I hope you can mode them out

[fickle bison]

Imagine if the winner of the NFT raffle is a girl...

[solid dome]

Some media outlets imply the interview going around was made with Grygorovych himself. Wicked right.

[frail kernel]

Why would Stalker 2 need any DLC? They just announced they're a live service game, it'll be dead after 3 months and the next live service game comes out

[open lintel]

@thin pulsar against discord rules

[pseudo rivet]

So it would be a trap?

[hazy helm]

Yhea I'm concerned with them really,I hope they go the right corner maybe add more quests and weapons and quests stealthy and Integrated to the game

[plain zodiac]

Dlcs shouldn't even be mentioned when developing a game

[finite summit]

Guys who wants to cancel GSC Game World with me?

[open lintel]

either change it or you'll be kicked

[tired anvil]

I mean it's nice that you told him, but not like he can change his name on the server here

[pseudo rivet]

AAA game

[spice pebble]

Didn't Gsc say there will be girls in stalker 2?

[solid dome]

Already been cancelled twice

[open lintel]

account name

[thin pulsar]

Relax I just said I would

[craggy crystal]

"cancel" can stay on twitter ngl

[pseudo rivet]

Who knows

[spice pebble]

So what if a girl wins an nft lmao

[thin pulsar]

Don’t need to go discord mod on me man give me a chance

[open lintel]

can't be a nickname, has to be the account name

[hazy helm]

Only Time knows

[pseudo rivet]

If a girl wins, then that means that traps are canon in STALKER

[solid dome]

Give him few seconds, oh Lord

[fickle bison]

Bro, a girl model from an UE game? its gonna used for rule 34 sfm

[solid dome]

One can't change nickname in 2 seconds

[hazy helm]

What

[thin pulsar]

There

[hazy helm]

Haaaa kek

[pseudo rivet]

But I literally just changed his name. Who reset it?

[hazy helm]

Pin it

[dreamy kindle]

Oh no and oh yes at the same time. If they DON'T make them actual characters and not bait for the idiots who only care about that, then oh no. IF they're actually interesting characters/make sense in the game, I'm all for it

[finite dragon]

LMAO

broke
paying groomer tokens to have your face in the game
woke
modding out the groomer token face and replacing it with any youd like

[frail kernel]

Well, they're obviously trying to compete with AAA games. Heck Fortnite was a AA game before it got big.

[finite summit]

Oh so you are just gonna accept the fact that Stalker2 will be NFT and let the devs do whatever they want?

[open lintel]

can't just change the nickname, as it still shows through

[pseudo rivet]

Eh

[craggy crystal]

I'm saying cancel is an annoying term lol

[pseudo rivet]

Didn't know we became like that

[thin pulsar]

Changed it anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️

[hazy helm]

They aren't goddamn NFTs ffs

[plain zodiac]

I like it

[pseudo rivet]

Personally, not interested in being a Dutyer

[dreamy kindle]

They are NFTs

[finite dragon]

stalker 2 nft of chernobyl

[finite dragon]

They are blockchain based, actually.

[open lintel]

what are you talking about, that's always been against the rules

always been like that

[hazy helm]

It's a TOS breached

[dreamy kindle]

add a ing-soc like faction to the game

[sonic rampart]

Duty is wack

[pseudo rivet]

Not even compete anymore. This is kinda on another level

[thin pulsar]

Freedom gang standup

[pseudo rivet]

Then Discord should do something about it kek

[tired anvil]

GSC making the first AAAA game

[dreamy kindle]

[hard stirrup]

freedom is too lazy to stand up

[pseudo rivet]

AAAA game

Fancy that

[thin pulsar]

If it’s against TOS why can I do it lol

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly lol

[finite dragon]

I won't buy a game based on blockchain. It's a security risk.

[solid dome]

Sold in-game, nope

[pseudo rivet]

Kek

[open lintel]

it's not against discord tos, it's against discord partner guidelines

[hazy helm]

Still by them being closed off from open market NFTs and being just overglorified dlc skin codes that will be redeemed upon games launch and a closed market tha is more akin to CS GO trading they are very different to NFTs at least this is the approach they meant

[solid dome]

It's a security risk, kekw

Being on the internet is unmatched risk

[pseudo rivet]

Eh, same difference

[finite dragon]

delusional

[fickle bison]

you owning a phone is a security risk

[spice pebble]

Stalker isn't csgo though.

[solid dome]

Smartphone mostly

[dreamy kindle]

STALKER: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE

[solid dome]

Old phones possess no security risk

[hazy helm]

The market I am saying I never said it was goddamn

[sonic rampart]

Owning a nokia 3310 isn't

[ashen axle]

HAPPINESS#7330 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solid dome]

[hazy helm]

The Feb codes

[solid dome]

Owning 5XXX either

[craggy crystal]

until you drop a nokia on your face in bed

[finite dragon]

Blockchain is moreso. It provides near perfect verification, but is incredibly easy to track.

I don't trust it.

[thin pulsar]

Lol

[hard stirrup]

@hazy helm people saw "NFT" and had a nervous breakdown

[solid dome]

Solution: dont preorder

[spice pebble]

I understand but you adding csgo trading to stalker is stupid as hell lmfO

[thin pulsar]

It’s like getting hit in the head with 7.62

[finite dragon]

ok

[hard stirrup]

not knowing fully about the situation

[finite dragon]

wont preorder 👍

Just won't buy, lmao.

ez win

[solid cosmos]

Even when knowing the full situation it still sounds braindead

[hazy helm]

They deliberately said and kept saying nft even tho it can't be said to be and shot themselves in the foot

[wicked token]

good ending

[finite dragon]

got me real good

[hazy helm]

And that's all I'll say period

[solid dome]

Too late as most dumb people already did, blame it on yourselves

[thin pulsar]

WE HAVE AN NFT SUPPORTER IN THE CHAT

Booooo

[craggy crystal]

boooo

[dreamy kindle]

boo

[spice pebble]

Booo

[finite dragon]

im very dumb for not spending money on something im not really interested in

[wicked token]

you are now officialy a based gentlemen

[finite dragon]

got me real good bro

[solid dome]

I meant those who did, not you

[finite summit]

based

[wicked token]

*un

[hard stirrup]

i dont even support NFT im just not dumb

[solid dome]

You're part of the Camp of the Never Preordered, mate. I'm there too!

[finite dragon]

Well, hopefully GSC will see this and move to accommodate.

[craggy crystal]

chats say otherwise

[finite dragon]

One can only hope.

[dreamy kindle]

Yeah, about that... You're not, but man, you're supporting some crappy business practices

[finite summit]

i hope not

[finite dragon]

putting high powered magnets next to my head so i can communicate with you guys better

[hazy helm]

They'll most likely change the name and clear up any misconceptions I hope,I really hope,I pray they do

[thin pulsar]

Lol

[hard stirrup]

ofcourse chat says otherwise you all follow the leader without thinking for yourselves

[hazy helm]

Give me hope

[wicked token]

Hopefully we see another SoC vaporwave development cycle and yeet this out for good

[plain zodiac]

The nft gives me a reason not to preorder

[wicked token]

yeah same

[finite dragon]

It is literally a non-fungible token.

[plain zodiac]

I rather just spend that money on my other hobbies like shooting guns

[wicked token]

I mean, they can name it anything else but its still the same thing

[craggy crystal]

based

[finite dragon]

nft users got fungus

[spice pebble]

If the special pre orders with skins weren't a sign then damn kma

[solid cosmos]

if it's not a nft then why is it using a nft platform marketplace

[finite dragon]

this

[solid cosmos]

[finite dragon]

This.

[wicked token]

Because marketing and getting the name out there

[dreamy kindle]

literally 1984 freedom is slavery war is peace ignorance is strenght

[jade wigeon]

Bad move GSC, now refunding my pre purchase

[finite dragon]

almost forgot, add that to the list of gscs cringe stalker 2 moments

[vale quartz]

we live in the wrong timeline guys

[ashen axle]

Lamech#0766 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solid cosmos]

How does that make any sense lmao.

[finite summit]

based

[wicked token]

Remember how they bloated the advertisement for SoC? They are doing the same here, except that backfired real hard back in 2007. It might backfire just as much if not more, just saying...

[flat vale]

Deadass

[open lintel]

no swearing

[thin pulsar]

Lol

[dusky spear]

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-12-15-stalker-2-auctioning-off-rights-to-an-npc-likeness-as-an-nft

[flat vale]

Really?

[jade wigeon]

No NFTs

[open lintel]

yeh

[fierce bronze]

haha u edited the comment was about to say this can also backfire really hard

[hazy helm]

Like I said the biggest issue with NFT is the quantity that are bein out on the open market that makes the space and power requirements too high and the overall NFTs are trash ,I hope I understood them right and that they actually meant to do a CS go trading style market for skin dlc before gamae launch to hype and then marketing team slapped NFT in it to make news

[wicked token]

gigasupermega chad

[dusky spear]

it will be tradable as an nft untill it got made use of

[finite dragon]

WTF GSC

[wicked token]

800 Ruble Gauss Scam >>>>>>>> S2 NFT

[finite dragon]

WHYYYY

[spice pebble]

I love how stalker is an 18+ game but swearing is off limits in its discord lmfao 😂😂

[finite summit]

IMHO Stalker 2 is the worst game ever now

[thin pulsar]

Fr lol

[dreamy kindle]

Yeah, lol

[open lintel]

b what it b

[thin pulsar]

I seas flabbergasted when shid got blocked

[spice pebble]

Some genius came up with that rule for sure

[dusky spear]

the reason as to why NFT's can also be found in the article, it cites "Grygorovych emphasized the studio's desire to be transparent with its NFT plans, and while he acknowledged GSC Game World executives have personally invested in blockchain assets, he said they had not considered disclosing those holdings."

[jade wigeon]

First its stupid s*** like meta-human npcs, then comes more tangible game mechanics

Nah, I'm out

[wicked token]

If its just an elaborate media stunt to get the name out there, sure, but at least tell us for gods sake aight?

[finite dragon]

WE TRUSTED YOU GSC

[vale quartz]

how is this any better really? It's like ubisoft quartz

[hazy helm]

Discord partner guidelines

[spice pebble]

Ah really? Thats so stupid

[open lintel]

actually that has nothing to do with the discord partner guidelines

[thin pulsar]

So much hype for this game just to screw the pooch

[solid dome]

Talk about yourself

[wicked token]

Also, Steam does not allow games with NFTs, and apparently Epic Games wont allow em either

[spice pebble]

Oh lmao

[white talon]

Yeah no, I'm out

[finite dragon]

No, the biggest problem with NFTs is that they have no inherent value, even in a digital product such as a game. And they're blockchain.

[open lintel]

its a blanket rule to avoid insults and very bad swears in russian/ukranian language etc.

afaik

[hazy helm]

It's not better since it isn't even an NFT if it keep them in a closed trading space where items are put out in a stream through a curated organisation

[vernal magnet]

Deadass is not a curse…,when I lived in New Jersey that was literally just a way of saying “most definitely” in a way Jersey folk only can

[thin pulsar]

Ah makes sense

[flat vale]

Hey vasim

[hazy helm]

Yhea

[spice pebble]

Yeah that's a good enough solution i guess lol

[thin pulsar]

Speaking of which I wonder what our Russian comrades think about this

[solid dome]

Would you please read the topic first, no in-game marketplace for that. Falls outside of the regulation.

[finite summit]

It's all a conspiracy to become EGS exclusive
