[plucky hamlet]

Novice is doing "piu piu"
Master is doing "piu piu piu piu PIU PIU PIU BOOM PIPIPIPIPIUUUUUUUU NUCLEAR WARHEAD IS IMBOUND"

Sorry

[twilit flower]

but you should finish SoC or at least watch the story/playthrough

[pseudo rivet]

Damage control is a funny thing

[finite dragon]

Spec ops the line ♡

[finite summit]

Should've just went on with it

[twilit flower]

@winged dust you will want to know the whole SoC storyline before playing CS

[inland granite]

Eh why?

[worthy lagoon]

Prevention is better

[wicked sleet]

punishable by walking the plank into the radioactive lake

[pseudo rivet]

Sure

[fickle bison]

I wonder what gsc is gonna show for christmas

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[finite summit]

At least we would have had a reason for public outrage

[pseudo rivet]

But it's not like I've got any interest in HoC to begin with

[inland granite]

I see you are a man of culture as well

[winged dust]

My memory before 2010 is a bit messed up. I know vaguely what happens in the game and that I played it at some point, but I'm not sure if I actually beat it.

[fickle bison]

Not even a little?

[sonic rampart]

Spec Ops the line was pretty cool

[pseudo rivet]

None

[plucky hamlet]

2012 was the end of the world

[finite summit]

We actually hate it

[pseudo rivet]

Nothing has excited me

The music is bad

The concept art looks bad

[winged dust]

[null]

[pseudo rivet]

The models look bad

[wicked sleet]

music bad ?

[fickle bison]

Stalker has music?

[twilit flower]

@winged dust many players take the easy ending too, try to finish the doctor's quest when it comes up. for the canon ending

[pseudo rivet]

Ward is just a copy of Duty and Freedom

Etc.

[wicked sleet]

@fickle bison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhh23-paLU course it does

[sonic rampart]

inb4 it's the best game in the series

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, haven't you guys heard the new tracks?

[worthy lagoon]

Zombification process

[pseudo rivet]

It's pretty dang generic

[finite summit]

They should've never even announced S2

[winged dust]

Wait. Did CS have an anomaly that was something like moss that corroded skin on contact or am I thinking of something else

[sonic rampart]

Not a fan of the new tracks as well

[wicked sleet]

no ? what new tracks

[inland granite]

Well i'm just glad that Stalker 2 is coming out at least

[fickle bison]

The problem with adding new factions is that every single current factions covers all the bases. Like, create a brand new faction on the spot right now

[inland granite]

Thought it's goner for sure since CoP

[pseudo rivet]

SoC had it too

[sonic rampart]

Hopefully MooZe is at least guiding the new composer

[twilit flower]

sure hope so. the crystal dominating all is implied in this, right?

[pseudo rivet]

Same with CoP

[winged dust]

I remember thinking that was neat and vaguely horrifying

[worthy lagoon]

It should have been in SoC

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, Interception

[plucky hamlet]

How do you became moderator here lol

[worthy lagoon]

You don't

[plucky hamlet]

You remind me of Mortes from Battlefield 3 somewhat, if i remember the name right

[finite summit]

By being an e-girl

[worthy lagoon]

^

[plucky hamlet]

Oh well

[fickle bison]

What does interception do?

[sonic rampart]

I don't think Crimson is an e-girl

[twilit flower]

@winged dust toxic anomaly both in CS and SoC if that is what you mean

[wicked sleet]

where is the new music ? i haven't heard it

[inland granite]

Honestly, it's refreshing to see a mods that actually being honest with their opinion most of other game discord server mods are all bought and sold shills who never talks bad about their games 😂

[pseudo rivet]

I hang around a lot with the moderators. They said they got a new girl and if I wanted to "enjoy the goods", so I said "Sure, alright"

That's how I became a mod

[twilit flower]

@winged dust the green puddles

[finite dragon]

Facts 😂

[winged dust]

Oh. Assuming I attempt to load CS and SoC, I recall there being "Complete" mods for both games and them being borderline required?

[plucky hamlet]

Same

[worthy lagoon]

Girls doesn't exist

[plucky hamlet]

Lol nice then

[pseudo rivet]

They were supposed to be the Military's elite of the elite

Cut, though

[plucky hamlet]

Imaginary ones do!

[fickle bison]

Thats just sounds like military stalkers, whats the catch?

[pseudo rivet]

That's actually a myth. That's why I said "Sure", because I didn't believe a word they said

[pseudo rivet]

Might wanna look it up, it's interesting

[winged dust]

@pseudo rivet Tangent: just noticed the Nod logo. Peace through power.

[twilit flower]

@winged dust noooo!! the complete mods are discouraged

[river tendon]

What was nft integration?

[twilit flower]

@winged dust it is your choice of course

[winged dust]

Why?

[pseudo rivet]

It's in the wiki's SoC PDA section

[plucky hamlet]

Would you like to sell humans on public market?

[pseudo rivet]

Brotherhood, Unity, Peace

[river tendon]

??

[finite summit]

The only decision GSC could make to make the game better but angry mob thought otherwise

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, don't play Complete

It sucks

[river tendon]

What is it for real tho

[twilit flower]

@winged dust but I highly suggest you use the reclamation project mods, which do make the game not vanilla, true, but they keep it very close with bugfixes. the complete mods have some very controversial stuff, changing the base game

[pseudo rivet]

Anyways

Like I said

I'mma grab the music of HoC

[lyric zinc]

Imagine if 3 months before release you think the only way to make the game better is to partake in a scam

[finite summit]

but it sucks

[winged dust]

HoC...?

[twilit flower]

heart of chernobyl. stalker 2

[potent bluff]

The Zone Dream and 108 bits of Zone are my favourite tracks of stalker2

[winged dust]

Ah

[wicked sleet]

allright another topic, is it gonna get delayed like all the previous titles ?

[potent bluff]

YES AND NO

[sonic rampart]

108 bits of the zone is pretty bland IMO

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly what I want to show you guys

[finite summit]

More likely to be cancelled like last time

[potent bluff]

sorry for cap*

[pseudo rivet]

It's generic

https://youtu.be/JAASUvriKSI

[wicked sleet]

i like Mass

[pseudo rivet]

Doesn't have the original Stalker feeling

[winged dust]

Delays are a normal part of development. Quite frankly Cyberpunk could have used more.

[finite summit]

ss

[potent bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbbXDlDpyQQ

I love this one

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[winged dust]

Better to release a presentable product than spend 6 months 'fixing it in post'

[wicked sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMUxVxRvN48

[pseudo rivet]

Better said

Too melodic

[wicked sleet]

how about this

[sonic rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFJrA3uk4Pw

One of the cooler tracks from SoC's OST

[pseudo rivet]

Sucks

[wicked sleet]

aight

[finite summit]

Better cancel it and never release it

[pseudo rivet]

S.A.D is probably my favorite track in the series

[winged dust]

I don't recall much from that time, but I remember the song "Dirge for a Planet" being nice.

[finite summit]

Is it good?

[wicked sleet]

i like lake yantar soundtrack, that one is creepy

[pseudo rivet]

Lemme get

[sonic rampart]

Too bad it plays during the assault on chernobyl so you barely hear it

[tropic timber]

thats not how that works making big games is way too expensive for that

[pseudo rivet]

https://youtu.be/HFJrA3uk4Pw

[wicked sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urK8zFwa-4c

[potent bluff]

What is Daycore lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiJgf1i7_ik

[fickle bison]

Clear sky combat music ia the best thing ever

[potent bluff]

slow speed of the music?

[finite summit]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2(2011) > S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2(2022)

[winged dust]

Also the SGM mod (I know, tautological acronym) added, among other silly things, a bunch of pirated music to CoP that played on radios. Seeing Hawaiian rocking out to Ma Baker by Boney M was just

[pseudo rivet]

Nightcore but instead of little anime girls singing, it's people like Baki and Jotaro singing

[wicked sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GvX3mVe160 this is a good remix lol

[sonic rampart]

Thank god SoC's soundtrack is free on the OG website

I love to listen to it while hiking

[digital glacier]

Yea S.A.D. is pretty awesome, heard it a ton while playing Fallout 4 Horizon with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. soundtrack replacement pack, one of my favorites too. So far only track that I really liked from S2 is Zone Dreams.

[potent bluff]

I dont know Rostok game (former GSC ) is kinda bad

Survarium suck

[sonic rampart]

OG concept of S2 is wack

At least the one that leaked

[pseudo rivet]

Zone Dreams was also wack

[potent bluff]

Zone Dreams good

[pseudo rivet]

Anyways, I'mma head out

[wicked sleet]

those are vostok games not rostok

[potent bluff]

[pseudo rivet]

Cya guys later

[finite summit]

Survarium > S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2(2022)

[wicked sleet]

see you comrade

[sonic rampart]

Bye

[potent bluff]

oh yea Vostok game lol

[pseudo rivet]

Have a good one

[sonic rampart]

You too

[hazy helm]

Believe me it ain't

Stalker 2011 was pretty wack

[plucky hamlet]

Everything sucks

Life sucks

[sonic rampart]

I can't see Lukash as an antagonist

[plucky hamlet]

Tetris was the only great achievement of the humanity

[opaque parrot]

DOOM

[potent bluff]

Half Life is greatest game ever

STALKER is second

[civic fiber]

Cancelled NFTs? oh nice =) Good move GSC. Integrity! major positive points gained (back)

[twilit flower]

no doubt

for all the good it has done to gaming at least, apart from being a totally excellent game.

[civic fiber]

NO

[twilit flower]

games like doom deserve their own place of glory, but Half-Life is the one that ushered in the modern age of games

[hazy helm]

That was a joke relax

[wicked sleet]

first half life is the first AAA game i finished back in 98

[twilit flower]

you can still play Half Life nowadays and enjoy it fully

[civic fiber]

Morphine administered -pSSTch

[twilit flower]

hell, play the remake (Black Mesa) but it's essentially the same thing

[civic fiber]

aaaaAAAAaaahhhahh

[plucky hamlet]

pip pip PIIIIIIIIP

[finite summit]

yes

[modern summit]

Listening to the community is a huge plus, bless gsc 💪

[wicked sleet]

now gib gameplay

[twilit flower]

the thing that kept gordon motivated to push through to the nihilanth's chamber lmao

[modern summit]

Oppsie

[twilit flower]

and valve's still got it. HL:Alyx best VR game. they cancel and delay so many of their games that for now, only the best come through. for good or worse

[wicked sleet]

ok where half life 3

[twilit flower]

in the future

[wicked sleet]

is it tho

[plucky hamlet]

In our imagination

[twilit flower]

it's coming, just not sure if I'll be still alive then

[plucky hamlet]

The best game for ImaginaryOS for ImaginaryPlatform

[finite summit]

I think they don't make it because they still don't know how to make it as groundbreaking as first 2

[wicked sleet]

pretty sure it'll run on my Core i14 199874K and RTX 9090

[twilit flower]

HL³ got such expectation that I'm not sure there is anyone alive right now with the balls big enough to tag that title on their game

we got the promise of something that feels like HL³ at the end of Alyx

[twilit flower]

the big stake bets. does stalker 2 release 2022?

[finite summit]

but at what cost?

[pseudo rivet]

I only win when I crush GDI

[twilit flower]

or will they wait 1 or 2 years to directly release Stalker 2 into the metaverse?

[finite summit]

Who's Joe Kane?

[hazy helm]

In your heart how lovely

[pseudo rivet]

There as well

[hazy helm]

Anyway,random question what is your fav dark souls boss?

[winged dust]

Time vill tell. ...Sooner or later, time vill tell.

[pseudo rivet]

No clue, Dark Souls to laggy to play

[hazy helm]

You got frametime issues?how

[pseudo rivet]

Weak PC

[hazy helm]

Your pc is at least stronger than mine

[pseudo rivet]

[hazy helm]

How

[winged dust]

I really wish a proper CnC 4 could be made. STALKER 2 is happening, maybe it's time to break out the hopium for that dream

[pseudo rivet]

C&C4 does exist

[winged dust]

I know it doesn't

[pseudo rivet]

I play it almost every day

[stone garnet]

what was the other OST they released back when STALKER 2 was still work in progress 🤔

[pseudo rivet]

True

Still

It sucks

[winged dust]

Cnc4 exists in the same way that the avatar last airbender movie exists. It doesn't.

[pseudo rivet]

It does

It's popular to hate on it

But it does

[kindred rampart]

Hi, does anyone know if XrMPE can give you option to play singleplayer story in coop? I aint russian so i cant find most of the info about it.

[hazy helm]

Is C&C 4 that bad?

[hazy helm]

It still doesn't

[kindred rampart]

aw

[hazy helm]

Most likely never gonna be finished

[kindred rampart]

thanks

[winged dust]

Most CnC communities reject its canonocity

[pseudo rivet]

It is and it isn't

[twilit flower]

interesting thought that while RA timeline may be sort of a prequel to the Tiberium timeline, it may not be so, but in fact Kane sent Yuri back in time with tacitus technology to provide a better foothold in the present

[pseudo rivet]

Most

Not all

[pseudo rivet]

Let me explain

[hazy helm]

Please do

[pseudo rivet]

First of all, let's address the issue of the levelling system

You have to level up to unlock units

[twilit flower]

sounds like clickbait 😄

[pseudo rivet]

Kek

But yeah, you need to level up to even get all units

I farmed for them XPz

[hazy helm]

Well that's bad on a RTS game

[pseudo rivet]

Yep

Let's see

Secondly

The game relies too much on micromanagement

[twilit flower]

there exists a great competitive scene for the C&C games, and I believe them when they say that 4 is not even worth talking about

[pseudo rivet]

But this can be counteracted by forcing yourself on the enemy

[pseudo rivet]

There's some comp vids of Sybert

Thirdly

It's mostly a capture point game

[twilit flower]

4 just abandoned everything that is c&c, including sullying the story

[pseudo rivet]

No longer an enemy destruction game

[hollow venture]

Dear stalkers,

We hear you. Based on the feedback we received, we've made a decision to cancel NFT-integrations in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

Anybody kind enough to tell me what that means ? NFT ?

[pseudo rivet]

And lastly

It's a non-traditional RTS

It's too experimental and people struggled with it

Also known as

[stone garnet]

basically they got rid of the ability to buy yourself a part of the game

[pseudo rivet]

Skill issue

[hollow venture]

huh ?

[ashen axle]

coolzie#3215 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, S.T.2 was going to have NFT

[twilit flower]

if they released it as a seperate franchise nobody would have complained about it, it would have just been forgotten and buried

but they had to take down the c&c franchise with them

[pseudo rivet]

The devs tried their best to even give it something, because the higher-ups had an even more bare-bones game

[hazy helm]

?

[pseudo rivet]

Everyone agrees they want a redo on TT, though

[twilit flower]

just a sad story

[pseudo rivet]

EA, 'nuff said

[twilit flower]

EA did them dirty

[hazy helm]

EA

[pseudo rivet]

I'll play a bit later, I can stream if you want

[hazy helm]

I can't watch streams today

[pseudo rivet]

Bruh, dang it

[hazy helm]

I'd stream me playing sekiro if I could also

[twilit flower]

leaves the feeling of EA just wanting to kill a franchise, like they came out of their hut and just slit one of their favorite child's throat. just to prove they can get away with it

[hazy helm]

Gotta have ppl watch me play the rythm game wrong

[pseudo rivet]

It didn't, but EA just don't know how to please folks

Still, that's why you should focus on just the gameplay and the lore

It's pretty alright

Besides

[hollow venture]

NFT Games are blockchain-based games that have tokenized in-game assets allowing players to collect them as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Some of these games reward players in cryptocurrency, while others enable players to collect in-game NFTs that can then be sold for a potential profit.

Oh. My. God.

everyone became aware of earths pollution suddenly when NFT's were mentioned

[pseudo rivet]

[hazy helm]

The fact stalker was associated with NFTs to begin with,speaking the mobs mind

[stone garnet]

NFTs are a rich person thing

[hazy helm]

Let's not talk about nfts again

[hard stirrup]

Lmao

[pseudo rivet]

NFT?

More like

NDA

[stone garnet]

people are gonna keep talking about it for the fact that STALKER 2 was gonna have it

[hard stirrup]

i just thought it was odd the offical stalker discord had so many environmentalist.

[hazy helm]

Please man it's been 2 days non stop nft this nft that I'm tired let's talk something else

[hard stirrup]

literally no ecologist factions either

[hazy helm]

The ecologist faction isn't canon either

[pseudo rivet]

Basically lmao

[twilit flower]

not an nft exclusive

[fickle bison]

Daily reminder that stalker 2 will not be a sequel to Anomaly

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao

[twilit flower]

I bet there would have been no outcry of the community if it was auctioned on ebay

[slim sundial]

🐸

[fickle bison]

Anomawy

[glacial quartz]

I didn't even know they implemented nfts now they cancel it? 😂

[twilit flower]

maybe not a sequel, but I hope they learned some lessons from Anomaly and other mods. these mods are well received for the most part

[glacial quartz]

Such a relief they canceled that, it would've been a horror in a stalker game (oh the irony)

[twilit flower]

there are haters, sure, but they're still very popular

[hazy helm]

I hope they learned nothing from anomaly srsly

Kek

[slim sundial]

Whatever, I just doesn't see the point of being mad about NFTs. Anyway, have a good day everyone 💛

[pseudo rivet]

It's kinda about principles

[glacial quartz]

Nfts are real real real real bad

[slim sundial]

where

[twilit flower]

@slim sundial why nft, though

[hazy helm]

The whole nft thing was a scam to begin with,you can claim hat you own a skin but other ppl still use it while they aren't nft holders

[pseudo rivet]

@hazy helm
Here we go again

[twilit flower]

what is the point??

[worthy lagoon]

Scientist is

[glacial quartz]

I don't want to drool over something that someone else can afford for the rest of my life...in a game

[slim sundial]

Ok, i see

[pseudo rivet]

Both are lol

[hazy helm]

It comes back to it and it haunts me that I now know so much about nfts

[worthy lagoon]

Scientist is a proved faction lol

[pseudo rivet]

Both B

Simple name change

[hazy helm]

Ecologists and scientists on canon are the same and aren't a stalker faction

[coarse reef]

I hope renegades make a return theyre my favorite faction

[pseudo rivet]

I know that it's wack and that's basically all I need to know

[pseudo rivet]

True

Eco-Stalkers epic, tho

[twilit flower]

what does the nft aspect change about this, though? disclaimer, I hated the whole nft thing, but what does it change about your view? if gsc just regularly auctions the items, and they sell for 20k, 200k, 2mil, will you feel any other way about it?

[pseudo rivet]

Same, but doubt it

They'll likely just get the Bandits wrong and make them behave like Renegades

[coarse reef]

I'm genuinely surprised there isn't like a communist faction yet

[pseudo rivet]

Good

[twilit flower]

I wasn't here then, but was there the same outrage about preorder and premium version benefits? because that one concerns every single Stalker2 customer

[pseudo rivet]

No

And yet, they should've

[coarse reef]

At least give them different outfits

[twilit flower]

well, that is either sad or the whole anger about it unloads now, triggered by the nft outrage

[pseudo rivet]

Imagine locking campfire stories behind a pre-order

[worthy lagoon]

Based on what?

[finite dragon]

Based on AK system

[pseudo rivet]

The Brown Merc Suit was the Renegades' suit, but given to Bandits as well

[finite dragon]

If i remember correctly it was named Cobra or something like that

[pseudo rivet]

If we were to go for thematic colors, Bandits would be black and Renegades would be brown

[pseudo rivet]

The games

[twilit flower]

preorder outrage in general happened, years ago, but now it's the new normal

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

Sadly

[twilit flower]

it's the best argument against "yeah then just don't buy it"

enough fools will buy it

[pseudo rivet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycmeJ5drpgM

[twilit flower]

"got nothing to lose, got nothing to hide"

[fair crater]

i thought they were going to add Dy in?

[twilit flower]

once it's the new established standard, you'll have the choice to either buy in, or just sit out on life

the screw only turns one way

by design

[finite dragon]

Same with NFT "yeah just dont buy it" ok, i am going to screnshoot it then

[pseudo rivet]

Good point

[fair crater]

not really since it will be the only i will buy in this year

Привет

[pseudo rivet]

Just take a screenshot of Stalker 2 and you own it

[round pasture]

Здравствуйте

Oh so we're onto the "Stalker bad cause it's an nft" stage huh?

[finite dragon]

Of course! I'll screenshot entire GSC and i own it

[pseudo rivet]

Still are

[fair crater]

i thought they shrook it off

[pseudo rivet]

They did

[fair crater]

so why still?

[twilit flower]

always an option of course, but I like many do feel some loyalty to this franchise. it has given so much. the question is, is it just hopium? if the devs or should I say studio does a good job they deserve the reward

[coarse reef]

Thing is games cost way more to develop now than years ago, but the cost of the game copy on launch stayed relatively the same, so companies kinda need to put out ultimate edition this season pass that to make up for that money. So yeah it's not great, but it's understandable.

[pseudo rivet]

Just the fact that they decided to do it in the first place

[round pasture]

People are just mad for the sake of being mad, you see it everywhere

[pseudo rivet]

Meh

[fair crater]

they just need to say that they need more money, people are too thirsty for new stalker

[pseudo rivet]

Sometimes

But not all the time

[fair crater]

nft bro?

[pseudo rivet]

When people got mad that they removed the NFT, you were right

[finite dragon]

Well i think that putting a character based on a real person into the game itself is not a bad idea. The thing is how they managed to do so. By buying an online ticket via NFT is cringe. Cosplay competition would have more sense.

[fair crater]

yeah

[coarse reef]

The NFT thing was completely unnecessary tho, many games have done this exact thing before without using the NFT

[pseudo rivet]

I'm literally getting bored of this

[wide aspen]

YO guys i need help,i just finished soc and i dont know wtf happened and the ending is so confusing

[pseudo rivet]

It's the third day I'm hearing the same song

[round pasture]

If you stare at any screenshot long enough it'll look bad

[pseudo rivet]

U died

[wide aspen]

yes

i know,Btw I HATE MONOLITH, they killed me 78 times,i counted them

[twilit flower]

agreed to an extent, but the marketing department brought it onto the studio, just squeezed a bit too hard, pushed a bit too far north and now they reaped the blowout and did a small tac retreat into the nearest shelter. customers and potential ones are right to be sceptical. I hope gsc will do better now to earn back and build some more trust, ultimately with releasing the game when it is ready

[fair crater]

imagine defending nft

[finite dragon]

In every monolith ending strelok is going to die

[placid grove]

Strelok appear again in CoP don't Worry

[finite dragon]

[fair crater]

strelok these?

[coarse reef]

[pseudo rivet]

Bruh

[wide aspen]

yeah that is why it is confusing like, wtf?

[round pasture]

Multiple endings

[placid grove]

[winged dust]

Spoilers for a decade old game, heh.

[wide aspen]

wait

[pseudo rivet]

I expected this to happen, Labidi

[wide aspen]

there is another ending in soc?

[pseudo rivet]

You didn't lore

[round pasture]

Yes

[pseudo rivet]

You didn't listen

[wide aspen]

i did kinda

[hazy helm]

Wanna go #💬┃en_offtop and talk smack?

[winged dust]

...or more? I dunno. Time is something you weirdos made up.

[pseudo rivet]

Sure

Have fun, guys

[hazy helm]

Monolith kew

[fair crater]

wanna know how" the marked one" was spoiled for me?

[pseudo rivet]

I'm out on a date with Vasim

[fair crater]

[round pasture]

When I got stuck in SoC playing it the first time I just Googled where strelok was

[hazy helm]

😳

[round pasture]

Biggest mistake of my life

[steel brook]

Yeehaw bye bye NFTs … kudos to the team for listening

[wide aspen]

||i know strelok is in a loop cuz we see him in the dead truck dead then he is alive again i dunu why and sid is strelok's evil brother and sid kills strelok by sending him in the middle of the zone||

[winged dust]

I imagine it'll be another week of that.

[round pasture]

What

[twilit flower]

excuse this brother, he is fresh from the death truck

[fair crater]

im sorry stalker , strelok isnt here hes in диз нут now

[winged dust]

I don't know what this role's color is called, but it is nice.

[round pasture]

Oh this poof rookie

[wispy walrus]

local man takes too many drugs while playing shoc, makes up story himself

[round pasture]

Purple is the egghead color

[winged dust]

That's purple? Looked like some kinda blue to me. Or indigo. Whatever.

[wide aspen]

that is what some ppl told me and what i learned while playing the game

and reading every pda and crap

welp time to go play cs and complete it

[round pasture]

Watch some lore videos Labidi, you could use it. No offense.

[twilit flower]

@wide aspen BROTHER. relax. let the crystal's light wash over you

[wispy walrus]

Truth is guy, if that's what you got out of vanilla shoc, u might wanna play it 10 more times and deeply read the dialogue again

[finite dragon]

[round pasture]

Alright guys I think we're being a bit harsh on him

[wispy walrus]

shoc isnt exactly rocket science

[finite dragon]

boom chernobyl happened
stone existed
the end

💀

Hes in the time loop guys

[round pasture]

To be fair, SoC is a lot more confusing and leaning on Stalker 1979 than the other games do

[wispy walrus]

whenever i think of timeloop i think of these guys who post in my other discord about their arma clan, they've done a Hue event for 8 weeks straight, So I joke with them about the Never ending Battle of Hue city time loop.

🤔

but no

there's NO TIME TRAVEL IN SHOC

PEROID

[round pasture]

Or is there?

[wispy walrus]

there isn't

[round pasture]

Or issss there?

[wispy walrus]

[round pasture]

If time travel exists I'm sure- Actually I don't think Sahkarov could figure it out, dudes spent too much time near the Yantar Facility

[radiant hinge]

I would kill for co-op in Stalker

[twilit flower]

@wide aspen right now https://youtu.be/qrynL2WeRzE?t=207

[wispy walrus]

okay neat, but we're talking about time travel.

[round pasture]

Co-op would be great, I personally wouldn't use it but it's always nice to just have something like that for the people that want it

Well, as long as it fits into the game.

[wide aspen]

an animation of monolith? im watching it rn

[twilit flower]

@wide aspen The great monolith is waiting. Remember what you're fighting!

[wide aspen]

ok

[fickle bison]

If STALKER 2 is succesful, Skif will become a fortnite skin

[round pasture]

Oh no don't say that

[radiant hinge]

I'd imagine it could be like recruiting Stalkers in Stalker 1

[round pasture]

Everybody gangster til the 10th fortnite cube says "Пришло время. Я вижу твоё желание"

[radiant hinge]

I've walked up to Stalkers and had them join me.

You pay them and they follow you for a time

Ya

Maybe

[round pasture]

If you have a good reputation in Anomaly you can have people follow you

[radiant hinge]

I'm at the end of a 14 hour nightshift right now, so it's possible I'm misremembering

[round pasture]

I once had a Dutyer, Freedomer, and a Merc following me

[radiant hinge]

Lol

[twilit flower]

just the right time to open yourself up to the monolith I'd say.

[fickle bison]

thats a mod feature. Only stalker game that has companions is CoP and that only for one mission

[round pasture]

In my last run I was clear sky, right near the end while I was raiding the CNPP we became allies with everyone but Sin and Monolith

[solid dome]

They did cause of the uproar and refunds. No uproar and no refunds > the black hole would have expanded by mile.

[radiant hinge]

Y'know, they say a bullet can have the name of someone on it, a grenade simply says to whom it may concern. But when the keys get turned and the warhead flies, it's simply grid coordinates confirmed.

[fading orbit]

I love this game, and they listened to us

[solid dome]

Now don't hype it up too much cause still no real gameplay shown

[fading orbit]

Meh idc

[solid dome]

Fo real?

[round pasture]

Let people be excited, there's no harm in it

[solid dome]

Gawd damit, he doesn't care! Good gods!

[celest canyon]

I'm optimistic about it. It will revive the VGI and get me back into the gaming.

[fading orbit]

I beleive they will deliver

[solid dome]

No harm done man

Xmas coming, happiness happening

[fading orbit]

They know what's at stake they don't need to be reminded every min

[celest canyon]

I just need to build a system.

[round pasture]

We all made a fuss, got what we wanted, no need to keep fussing. NFTs are gone, they said it themselves

[solid dome]

Now friggin re-assure us about full modding support and I may preorder, you know

Modding will make 50% of the profit of the game

[fickle bison]

Honestly, I dont get the whole fuss about no gameplay being show

[round pasture]

Why do they need to reassure us about mod support?

[solid dome]

Because no Unreal Engine game gave us FULL modding support so far

[celest canyon]

Cyberpunk mad a mess.

[round pasture]

Because no game company allowed it

[celest canyon]

made*

[solid dome]

Kinda

[clever remnant]

Hello

[round pasture]

Unreal =/= No mod support

[solid dome]

And knowing Epic is pretty defensive with their assets and engine

Doing what GSC says is against Epic's standards

[round pasture]

The fact that it's not an epic store exclusive should be a good sign

[fickle bison]

Hmm

[solid dome]

It's like taking Cryengine and publishing 50% of its source, albeit edited, online

Crytek will jump the guns 5 seconds after

Opening a licensed from another company engine to full modding seems... controversial

[round pasture]

To be fair, Stalker didn't have much in the way of mod support, people just did it anyway.

[solid dome]

Unreal has its own formats, how do you think they'll let you freely open and edit that...

[solid dome]

Cause things weren't hardcoded

[round pasture]

Man why are you so pessimistic? I genuinely don't understand it

[twilit flower]

maybe long-term, but trying to ride the wave of the latest buzzwords implies they do try to cash in with prejudice on the short term (no shame about doing that, but ofc flying too close to the sun is a thing you can do)

[fickle bison]

STALKER runs on mods, if GSC didnt even bother with mod support, the community would rage harder than the whole NFT thing

[solid dome]

Maybe cause I'm up for getting into real modding this time around if it happens

I have some Blender experience, PS experience too...

I'm willing to try myself for reals

Don't wanna be disappointed, yknow

[fickle bison]

First mod: Female bloodsuckers

[round pasture]

No

Don't give the freedomers any

[solid dome]

Simple mods like code editing aren't my thing. I'm into complex stuff that takes time to learn and do.

[hazy helm]

I will kill whoever deigns to make it

[twilit flower]

a good mindsetting to not be disappointed

[solid dome]

Barefoot! Since you could give em shoes... Give em no shoes.

[radiant hinge]

SIDOROVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH

[solid dome]

You can't ban them tho

So people will make it and upload it to the Nexus

You can't do nothing about that, lols

[fickle bison]

Forget nexus, Loverslab is where its at

[solid dome]

What is that!

[round pasture]

Ah yes, the lover slab

[solid dome]

Gotta check it out never heard

[twilit flower]

not everyone has the privilege of a belief system so grounded in reality like the ones that are one with the monolith. you regular stalkers need to temper your expectations or reality may break you 😉

[round pasture]

It's like the lover stone in skyrim, but flat

[solid dome]

This is Skyrim adult website

Lmao

[solid dome]

Moddb agreed

[radiant hinge]

Yeah

[round pasture]

Well its an adult mod site that you probably shouldn't post here, but it has more than skyrim

[radiant hinge]

Y tho

[solid dome]

I'm posting its description, not URL

No harm done

[round pasture]

Yeah, but you gotta be careful here, rules are pretty strict

[radiant hinge]

You guys are weird

Yes we are

[radiant hinge]

Never understood sex mods

[winged dust]

[round pasture]

[void vortex]

I never understood sex

That should go against your freedomer ways

I feel bad for you.

[round pasture]

Kev isn't a Chad? I should be surprised

[hazy helm]

Furry

[round pasture]

Yes, and? This- Wait, I can't say that

[hazy helm]

[round pasture]

Curse you rules!

[twilit flower]

I encourage everybody present to reconsider their faction choice. do you want to be free, a part of the truth of the zone, a member of the glorious Monolith, who is a fighter for justice in the Zone and the world overall? -- or just a slave to your human shortcomings, wrestling with wildlife, being in constant and pointless conflict with your fellow men, being a victim of your emotions and a pawn to masters who are out to exploit you in the name of misguided "ideals" you subscribed to in a pointless attempt to give purpose to your seemingly insignificant existance? Come forth, initiates! We do not want you to lay down your arms, do not want to break your fighting spirit. Come forth towards the north. Bask in the Monolith's glow. Show allegiance by changing your role to the one of the holy Crystal. We await you with open arms, brother!

[hazy helm]

Come get some brainwashed scum

[round pasture]

Hey I'm a merc, if you pay me I'll gladly worship some dumb rock

[hasty gust]

Crisis averted.

[solid dome]

It's the 7th experience mankind doesn't know very well.

Practiced wrong it leads to pollution

[sonic rampart]

And yet people are still whining about the quest and campfire songs that have been known to exist for the last 6 months

[hasty gust]

human pollution ... we should do some culling

[sonic rampart]

Why didn't they hate them so much when the pre order stuff was announced

[round pasture]

Pre-order bonuses are just that, bonuses

[sonic rampart]

Mhm

[deep snow]

i guess i just wont sleep

[round pasture]

No sleep, pray to monolith

[deep snow]

i have accepted my fate

[hasty gust]

ill just do some liquid meth know as stalker nrg drink

[sonic rampart]

Better delete that

for those who dont

[waxen oak]

[sonic rampart]

You will get warned

Just a tip, not hating

[round pasture]

And people think I'm a degenerate

No offense

[deep snow]

dont worry

[waxen oak]

what the zone does to a mf

[deep snow]

i only have anime stuff online where ppl wont find out who i am

[hasty gust]

off topic but anyone here has animebytes account?

[round pasture]

I feel like that's the anime equivalent of asking if anyone has an e621 account

[deep snow]

is that a piracy website?

[hazy helm]

What

[deep snow]

i only use 1anime

[round pasture]

I just gotta ask, why?

Why are we talking about this?

[hazy helm]

Goddamn weebs

Always

[hasty gust]

yeah .. just want to ask how is the anime downloads there in terms of quality to size ratio

[round pasture]

Language

[deep snow]

if ur looking for a site to watch anime and download 1080p

just use 1anime.to

[hazy helm]

@hasty gust @round pasture #💬┃en_offtop

[round pasture]

Don't look at me

[deep snow]

for free aswell

[round pasture]

They started it

[solid dome]

What for?

Preorder bonuses are a thing for the past 15+ years

[hazy helm]

You don't have to ask twice

[round pasture]

I like pre-order bonuses as long as they're actually worth the money

[deep snow]

oh shvit im in the wrong chat

[hasty gust]

does it have a bulk download?

[round pasture]

You dont say?

[deep snow]

like downloading multiple things?

[solid dome]

On top of that, @sonic rampart, preorder bonuses don't involve gambling

So to say dunno the right word

[hazy helm]

Wha?offtop is for non stalker related things

[deep snow]

i mean once you make a acc for free you can download as much as you want

im not advertising btw mods

[hasty gust]

oh we have offtopic channel lol

[round pasture]

Sir Vasim I don't think they hear us

Says the can of milk

[long harbor]

promise me you're not a zoophile

[round pasture]

Wh-

[long harbor]

wasn't being sarcastic, what's the matter?

[round pasture]

That's such a weird thing to just say

[long harbor]

yeah idk

i know like 4-5 furries and only 1 of them is a zoophile

the rest are fine for me, but i ain't too sure

[round pasture]

Okay, I think that can of milk has gone sour

Didn't know that was possible

[long harbor]

what's your problem lol, i'm not even being sarcastic or hateful to you

[round pasture]

Why even say it though?

[long harbor]

just checking

[coarse reef]

you just accused them of being a zoophile

[long harbor]

i didn't

i was just asking

[rustic elbow]

"fan trailer"

[round pasture]

Still a weird thing to ask out of the blue

[potent bluff]

Fan trailer? Lol

[rustic elbow]

what

[long harbor]

it's literally a fan film

[potent bluff]

Sodaz and his epic sfm

[rustic elbow]

they let a russian post it without review lol

[potent bluff]

In russian is correct but in eng is wrong lol

[long harbor]

let's hope he reads the channel and edit the message

[round pasture]

I feel bad for whatever admin is gonna have to read through this chat

[rustic elbow]

no problem its just funny

[coarse reef]

they've seen worse

[rustic elbow]

atleast for me

[long harbor]

estimate time until he edit his message?

[potent bluff]

@split flame its should be "fan film" not "fan trailer"

[solid dome]

Yeah whats wrong? Trailers are usually 1-2 minutes. But whatever.

[finite dragon]

All the unkind words actually worked... https://youtu.be/I8LFZydzQW4

Remember, violence is always the answer

[radiant hinge]

So, how's the day?

[potent bluff]

I don't like violence tho

[finite dragon]

just ate a fat sandwich

feeling bloated and cozy

[sand wyvern]

pics plz

[finite dragon]

ate it before i got pics

[long harbor]

Ubisoft was going to add NFTs and got mocked by Twitter, they quickly deleted the post lol

[potent bluff]

Im layin on the bed rn

Im good i think

[radiant hinge]

Well, wakey wakey. Hands off snakey

[finite dragon]

i could see ubisoft doing that, but i certainly didnt think gsc would be one of the first to try it

or rather attempt to try it

[potent bluff]

It almost my bed time now lol

[radiant hinge]

Lol

[long harbor]

just took a massive poo without killing my toilet, having a good day so far

[radiant hinge]

I exploded the work toilet

[finite dragon]

Freedomers are cooler than Dutyers
I said it

[coarse reef]

true

[long harbor]

die

[finite dragon]

No

[long harbor]

you're a monolith so shush, all the stuff you're saying is controlled by the Zone

[finite dragon]

Yes

[long harbor]

The Zone censored them

[finite dragon]

Listen up friend

Orange and woodland camo is way better than your edge lord black and red

[coarse reef]

Remember to punch a naz- dutyer today

[radiant hinge]

Wait wait.

[finite dragon]

Remember who else was wearing black and red? Stupid edgords!

[radiant hinge]

Are we really gonna let a filthy Monolith distract us from wiping them out with mere diversion tactics?

[finite dragon]

Tbh freedom and Duty are like children just Freedom is more mature

[radiant hinge]

Freedom and Duty gotta team up and wipe Monolith out. Then we can war with eachother.

[finite dragon]

Duty is to childish TBH

[quick dune]

bandits can take out all of you

[quaint shard]

Freedom more mature? Debatable

[coarse reef]

Nah I'd rather hang out with monolith than duty

[finite dragon]

Ok

[quick dune]

don't even underestimate the random hobos

[finite dragon]

But

[radiant hinge]

I've never seen a Bandit in an exo

[quaint shard]

Oof

[finite dragon]

Bandits are gonna smoke me with a musket from the 1700s

[quick dune]

who needs exos?

[finite dragon]

Not me

[coarse reef]

they're so powerful they don't need one

[quick dune]

only soy "soldiers"

[finite dragon]

Exos are pathetic

[radiant hinge]

I one tap them with a pistol

[quaint shard]

I think renegades are based

[finite dragon]

Yes

[fleet wave]

Based on what?

[finite dragon]

They are

[coarse reef]

And they one tap you with a sawn off shotgun from 5 km away

[quaint shard]

Based on horrible things they've done to become renegades

[quick dune]

too bad renegades weren't successful

[finite dragon]

Probably gonna loose the whole “Faction tag” thingy later

Or update my stuff to freedom

[coarse reef]

freedom has weed and therefore is the best faction

[quick dune]

if that dood scar hadn't come around renegades would've been successful

[finite dragon]

Agreeed

[winged dust]

Freedom has pot so I kinda lean towards them

[finite dragon]

Now smoke that dope with some vodka

[coarse reef]

Weed from the zone must hit so hard

[radiant hinge]

Idk man. I've had bandits come at me and their guns all collectively jammed before

[quaint shard]

The fauna with some radiation

[deep snow]

the biggest strugle of my day is tryna take a fat shvit without alerting the whole us government of my fat logs im dropping

[winged dust]

It's probably dry and old af

[finite dragon]

Agreed

[radiant hinge]

Never had a Freedomer or Dutyer have their weapons jam

[deep snow]

isnt some of it grown in the zone

[quaint shard]

Alright let's argue: Best gun in the game?

[coarse reef]

bolt

[deep snow]

fn2000

imo

[radiant hinge]

Avalanche

[finite dragon]

Knife

[quick dune]

the hunting rifle

[deep snow]

hunting shotty

[finite dragon]

True best gun is the fort 12

[radiant hinge]

Or the SGI

[winged dust]

I'm a fan of the G36 in CoP

[deep snow]

no the pm

[quick dune]

man get outta here with your automatic rifles

[quaint shard]

PKM my beloved

[winged dust]

Or GP37 or whatever

[finite dragon]

Best loadout PM and AK

[quick dune]

that stuff jams every 5 mins

one hunting rifle lasts you a lifetime

[winged dust]

Vintarez was also kinda fun

[finite dragon]

I’m a be fair

[quaint shard]

That one guy that plays Call Of Pripyat with only Makarov

[radiant hinge]

AK and Saiga

[finite dragon]

All the guns are fun it’s just some neeed modifications to be good cough cough IL86

[coarse reef]

my favorites from each game are
soc - tunder 545
cs - svd
cop - carabiner

[quaint shard]

IL86 looks hella fresh

[winged dust]

...carabiner? What is that actually?

[finite dragon]

It does

[finite dragon]

But it sucks

[quaint shard]

Unfortunately

[coarse reef]

automatic spas

[finite dragon]

Sadly it’s a nice looking gun that jams all the time

[deep snow]

whats the easiest way to get a vales detector in anomaly

[finite dragon]

Buy it

[radiant hinge]

Kill people

[deep snow]

or better yet a savrog detector

[winged dust]

Oh yeah, I loved the spas, don't think I got the carabiner tho

[quaint shard]

Carabiner that auto shotty with 12 clip size?

[coarse reef]

yeah

[finite dragon]

Now upgrade it

[twilit flower]

welcome, @round pasture, brother

[quaint shard]

I remember that one, always had it as a backup plan

Upgrading it was so enjoyable

[round pasture]

Yeah I'm a cultist now

[winged dust]

I just loved the scope on the GP37/G36. Made mid-range combat a breeze

[twilit flower]

@round pasture glory be to the holy alien crystal

[twilit flower]

the glorious monolith

[deep snow]

as val or lr 300

[twilit flower]

and its valiant protectors

[finite dragon]

Fun

[quaint shard]

Fully upgraded fire rate PKM

IS LIT

[deep snow]

which one

[finite dragon]

OH GOD

[round pasture]

Alien? Oh right, I don't get paid to correct people, I get paid to praise the rock

[finite dragon]

Both

[deep snow]

i cant

im starting a new play thru

[coarse reef]

i dont like the pkm it makes the game too easy and getting ammo for it in cop is pain

[round pasture]

Getting ammo in CoP is pain in general

[quaint shard]

Can confirm, I played only CoP and it was a struggle

But boy oh boy was it nice to get a lot of it for PKM

[coarse reef]

not really for the common guns

[quaint shard]

Pistol and smg ammo was always at disposal

[toxic vector]

if you can only play with one gun for entire playthrough, which gun will you choose?

[coarse reef]

which game

[quaint shard]

I'd take an AK

[finite dragon]

The best weapon from each caliber

9x18 - PB1s
9x19 - marta
.45 - Kora 919
5.45 - AKM-74/2
5.56 - TRs-301
9x39 - Vintar BC
7.62x54 - Svd mk2

[quaint shard]

Since I need to have a very reliable and very universal weapon

[toxic vector]

all stalker games

[finite dragon]

Yes

[broken scarab]

ASH-12

[quaint shard]

I wish rpg had more use

[finite dragon]

Same

Roaming military patrols

[finite dragon]

No ok no 12.7x55 is to rare

Impractical

[deep snow]

ill just do a freedom play thru

[toxic vector]

Why is Vintar BC the best 9x39 weapon?

[coarse reef]

in soc tunder 545, in cs svd and in cop streloks sgi5k

[quaint shard]

Alright Phixx is trying to recruit me into Monolith

[finite dragon]

It’s all my opinion

Feel free to disagree

[broken scarab]

Ok, then KSVK 12.7 x 108 mm. I'm sure Military S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s will have it available, or I'll place a special order at Sidorovich.

[finite dragon]

No

[crimson tinsel]

The Nimble will do it better

[finite dragon]

That’s the rarest gun ever

[toxic vector]

let me tell you this secret, fire rate is the king in almost all FPS games

[finite dragon]

Where will you get ammo

[long harbor]

virgin pkm

[finite dragon]

First that’s a gun only used by the Russians second WHERE WILL YOU GET AMMO

[quaint shard]

[radiant hinge]

Lies

[coarse reef]

nah

[finite dragon]

Chad AKM-74/2 and PMm user

[quaint shard]

Headshots are the king of fps games

[long harbor]

without brainwashing them

[long harbor]

AKM gang 💪

[crimson tinsel]

I remember getting machine gun ammo hidden in one of the tanks

[finite dragon]

The chad enjoys all factions

[long harbor]

Just do faction wars for Duty

[crimson tinsel]

and I tried using it with unique AK

[quaint shard]

I remember climbing up to the apartment to get PKM stash

[long harbor]

The vanilla PKM is trash for medium and long range

[finite dragon]

Yea

[toxic vector]

i used to be a AK guy like you until a bloodsucker hit my knee

[long harbor]

it's only effective for urban combat or close-range combat

[finite dragon]

If only it could be mounted

[long harbor]

yeah

[quaint shard]

Nah I'm not really an AK guy

It's just kinda a go to option for me

[long harbor]

badass military soldiers just spraying a PKM upon us

[toxic vector]

AK is not good enough to deal with mutant

[tranquil dust]

Fm 2000 user

[quaint shard]

True that

[finite dragon]

I only use high fire rate AK and high accuracy TRs rifles when I want an assault gun

[quaint shard]

Real freaks upgrade pistols

[long harbor]

just get a grenade launcher for your AK

[quaint shard]

Who the hell upgrades pistol

[finite dragon]

Ft200m with silencer is amazing

[long harbor]

it works so well i needed like 2 rifle grenades to kill 1 angry poltergeist

[toxic vector]

if you choose AK, you probably need the shotgun

[finite dragon]

It is if shoots the whole 45 round mag in 2 seconds

[long harbor]

im sorry but i can't resist myself from doing it

[quaint shard]

Understandable you have been forgiven

[long harbor]

i used to bring a hunting shotgun around with like 20 buckshots just in-case

[broken scarab]

But Ukraine uses the soviet made NSV machine gun so yea Ukraine makes use of 12.7 x 108mm cartridge's albeit it is in heavy machine gun caliber and not in use for the anti material rifles.

[solid dome]

Why is that? I dont follow the chat atm

[finite dragon]

Yes but it’s hard to get being only vehicle mounted

[toxic vector]

5.45 is less effective with mutant than 5.56

[solid dome]

Someone done goofed?

[crimson tinsel]

Trophy AK

[finite dragon]

5.56 is only good for accuracy

[toxic vector]

5.56 is better for mutant afaik

[quaint shard]

Slug or gauge

Choose

[potent bluff]

slug

[finite dragon]

An AK with full fire rate and a GL is the best gun ingame

[radiant hinge]

5.56 FMJ is cheap and packs a punch. It's why I use the L185A

[finite dragon]

Il86 user rip
Nice gun bad jams

[long harbor]

gauge

[wicked sleet]

Makarov and knife

[crimson tinsel]

Bolt

[long harbor]

vanilla makarov

[radiant hinge]

I maintain my weapons, not too hard.

[toxic vector]

a vog for a bloodsucker isnt cost efficiency

[crimson tinsel]

just use the bolt

[rustic elbow]

nato homosex double barrel masterace

[finite dragon]

Oh but it is

[crimson tinsel]

Double barrel with slugs loaded

[long harbor]

ehh, i mostly use that to do some suppressing fire against enemy with heavy armor

[radiant hinge]

Vepr 12 all the way

[long harbor]

or jsut use that against big scary mutants like chimera

[rustic elbow]

"sniper"

[long harbor]

literally took me 1 rifle grenade to kill the chimera in CoP

[crimson tinsel]

THE sniper

you have to aim carefully

[quaint shard]

Literally had to buy beer to use Cardan for upgrading my gear

[crimson tinsel]

[rustic elbow]

reject capitalism embrace alcoholism

[crimson tinsel]

I wish I could give Strelok his SGI

[wicked sleet]

@quaint shard he will give you a discount if you get him drunk, just don't overdo it else he falls asleep for 2 days

[tranquil dust]

Also thing that is pretty annoying for me is that you can shoot someone using for example shotgun multiple times but when he is having a animation then there's no way u can kill him

U can waste while magazine

[quaint shard]

@wicked sleet huh, didn't know that

I'd just give him one, do the job and goodbye

[tranquil dust]

Whole*

[wicked sleet]

@quaint shard he will also give you a quest when drunk

[crimson tinsel]

Vintar VS

[quaint shard]

@wicked sleet the one to find his lost friends?

[wicked sleet]

yes that one

[quaint shard]

Done that one long long ago

Had to for that juicy 100% good ending

[crimson tinsel]

Strelok unleashes the wild zone

[tranquil dust]

Whole*

[crimson tinsel]

Before SoC the zone was partially shackled by the CC

[finite dragon]

Same

[trail arrow]

About NFTs, I personaly don't care, but I'm suprised GSC didn't know about super toxic environment on Twitter considering NFTs. Everyone hates NFTs on Twitter. Ubisoft already burned themselves before <_<

[finite dragon]

But the strelok happens and the Zone says alright time to expand

[wicked sleet]

@trail arrow pretty sure they knew

[trail arrow]

So, why post a self-destructive tweet then?

[coarse reef]

Noooooo stop talking about NFTs its been dayss

[finite dragon]

No one likes em

[primal copper]

I hope they add new weapons

[finite dragon]

It was a huge mistake on their part

[coarse reef]

I'm just tired of hearing about them

[finite dragon]

As am I

Once the burn out kicks the whole community forgets it

[trail arrow]

Maybe such tweets help for a better reach on Google / Twitter algorythm? 👀

Also, all the broken re-masters lately (GTA) looks verrrrry sus. Feels like a massive ad to me 😄

[finite dragon]

Yep

[trail arrow]

As long as people talk about it - it is what counts for algorythm I guess

[finite dragon]

It really does and the only “Non-Remaster” is of my beloved halo CE aka Infinite

Just a rehashed combat evolved

[trail arrow]

One has to be super naive to believe Rockstar gave a green light for a super broken remaster by not knowing about it. Okay, sorry, I'm sliding into a offtopic

[finite dragon]

Yea

If you wish we can move this to off topic

[trail arrow]

Also, I wouldn't mind if GSC would make more profit even if from NFTs... as long as we are having Stalker 2 it is what matters. I've been into game dev quite a bit and I clearly see how people have no idea what it trully takes to make a AAA games -_-

[finite dragon]

It’s hard as all hell but the idea of NFTs is a bit to far I’d say do some dlc and open a donation page

[coarse reef]

i'd be fine with any other form of funding except NFTs

[pure sparrow]

It honestly felt shoved in for the sake of being trendy

[finite dragon]

Yea

It really felt as though GSC was doing it for the trends instead of a good way

[coarse reef]

But I honestly doubt they don't have money for it when they have microsoft behind them

Yes I know microsoft doesn't publish the game but they have an exclusivity deal and gave the game a lot of exposure

[pure sparrow]

Like really what they'd described sounded more like something a database could handle instead.

[finite dragon]

Yes they do although look at how hands off Microsoft was with Bungies halo series until 343

[coarse reef]

Idk i've never been a halo fan

Haven't played any of the games

[finite dragon]

Hmm

I grew up on them
