Playing halo 2 on and OG Xbox

Then the rest on 360 until 5

[wicked sleet]

only ever had PS One, PCMR since 1999

[coarse reef]

Microsoft seems to be doing a lot of good for gaming recently surprisingly enough, like the game pass is a really really good deal

[trail arrow]

I'm glad that there is such thing as Epic Store which gives a lot more freedom to many games to actually happen and in a healthy way without publishers being involved in actual dev process.

[solid dome]

Slippery sloppic!

[fickle bison]

Some dude on reddit is complaining, because he thinks the upcoming expansions packs are exclusive to the Ultimate edition

[solid dome]

I smell obnoxious amount of sarcasm

Epic is trying to overshadow Steam cause it's been the top game store for decades

They aren't giving anyone anything

They b taking the cake

[finite dragon]

Yo can someone help me out I'm in dead city (anomaly) and there is a psy storm But I think it's broken It still kills me even if I'm hidden inside commi block

[coarse reef]

Don't get me wrong steam are scumbags and all but Epic isn't any better

[sick palm]

Can I understand why NFT could be bad for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2?

[finite dragon]

Just finished playing it

[glossy fractal]

Epic takes 12% vs STEAM taking30%

[finite dragon]

Basically imagine paying for emissions

[solid dome]

Equal crap ye

[toxic vector]

you need to turn off brain scorcher to disable psy barrier

[wicked sleet]

@sick palm it wouldn't affect the game itself really, it's all about the scummy practice

[solid dome]

And Epic does what,exclusives. Is that any better? Hellz no. Plus their store is crap

[finite dragon]

How ?

[sick palm]

Talking about me as a gamer, do they change my experience in some way?

[coarse reef]

And epics platform sucks ass

[glossy fractal]

I don't really care about exclusives

[deep snow]

WHY DO SOME BUILDING HAVE A BUCH OF PHY REDIATION IN IT

caps

[wicked sleet]

@sick palm not at all

[fickle bison]

Epic Games store doesn even have a shopping cart function

[solid dome]

So you don't care about developer & community communication with the lack of forums there How does that make Epic better... It's more cons vs pros.

[trail arrow]

There are games which felt like they would not happen at all... like Alan Wake 2 and Stalker 2. It feels almost like in a dream these games are actually happening! Thanks goes to Epic. Years ago, working with publishers who had a say on actual game, it was a nightmare... just think about it.

[glossy fractal]

Yeah, they definitely need some work

[finite dragon]

Thx daddy

Hahaha

[solid dome]

No game store is ultimately the king

[fickle bison]

Steam is

thats why they have a monopoly

[sick palm]

I didn't understand why there was so much flame into the topic.. I don't know NFT a lot so I can't argue but I felt that they could be a potential for something new

[solid dome]

Cause it launched first?

Well that for sho

[fickle bison]

Cause it offers things nobody else has

[finite dragon]

UwU what's wrong dwwady😩

[glossy fractal]

Yeah, it needs work, but I'd rather buy there than steam

[solid dome]

Forums, for one. I damn agree on this point

[trail arrow]

People who are against Epic Store - please go and directly donate 200K EUR to developer, each. Now, still dislike Epic Store? 😄

[wicked sleet]

@sick palm the topic is hot because it was an ultimate see-through cashgrab, it wouldn't bring anything

[solid dome]

I'd prefer to buy games on one platform instead of using 10 of them, to each their own

[toxic vector]

thing i dont like about epic game store is exclusive shits

[quick dune]

is your dignity worth 200000€?

[solid dome]

Epic is like the plague

Epic is literally close to becoming Tencent-like company

If they haven't already

Everyone knows Tencent for their good deeds

[edgy holly]

who is giving away the free stalker 2 keys

[finite dragon]

You

[solid dome]

[wicked sleet]

every new launcher is like the plague, like you need to have 10 different launchers for 10 different games you own is downright idiotic

[solid dome]

Hellz yaah

[glossy fractal]

The funny zhjng us...everything people are saying about Epic, is oretty much what was being said about STEAM when it first came out

[trail arrow]

Without epic many games probably would not happen and we wouldn't be here talking.

[solid dome]

100 launchers for 10 games you'll play once few months

[edgy holly]

which launcher has the free stalker 2 keys

[solid dome]

Straight up mental disorder

[fickle bison]

Imagine needing to register to 3 diffrent launchers to play a game haha, kill me

[solid dome]

Mine

[sick palm]

If NFT help giving money to developers that do your favorite game why not? If people wants to buy or exchange NFT it doesn't really change much to other gamers.. well

[solid dome]

I offer them cheap, 2 pairs of cotton socks and be yours

Dis. 100 times.

There ultimately should be 1 game store

And that is GOG.com

Nothing else should exist cause games dont die there

Platform dies, games remain

Nothing lost

[glossy fractal]

I agree

[finite dragon]

Yea

[fickle bison]

ngl, gog's launcher sucks ass

[wicked sleet]

@sick palm that money could have easily been crowdfunded back in 2018 when the game was announced, now asking for more money 4 months before release when the game should be practically done is not the way to go

[solid dome]

You paid for the games, they remain there. Else you paid for something you can't use. Fook that without vaseline.

[finite dragon]

Remember if you will the first time you played SoC

[fickle bison]

I DO NOT ENJOY USING THE GOG LAUNCHER AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[solid dome]

[coarse reef]

NFT is a completely unnecessary and complicated way to do this, NFTs are also extremely bad for the environment as the minting and transfer of one takes up as much energy as the average household in 2 days

[finite dragon]

I hat the antichrist strong Georgia accent

[solid dome]

We still dissing NFTS?

[coarse reef]

For some reason

[solid dome]

Brah!

[sick palm]

But they are not asking for money, if you want to buy NFT you buy them, if not you don't, having or not having them doesn't affect your experience

[solid dome]

The NFT bonfire will remain calm for 50 years now

[wicked sleet]

@sick palm sorry mate you're completely missing the point, i suggest you google something about NFTs first, no hate

[solid dome]

But what are you throwing inside the pit?

Corpses or what

[still ridge]

Can we just stop talking about NFTs

They’re not gonna be a part of the game anymore

please

[solid dome]

Is what I'm saying

People still go on

[sick palm]

Ok I will

[solid dome]

Zlounberg vs. Lornoveo

You're blinfully correct

[twilit flower]

[solid dome]

@twilit flower I'll join Monolith only if I can do scrambled eggs on the crystal

[twilit flower]

together we are strong.

[solid dome]

No use of pan or anything

[edgy holly]

im going to mod classical religious factions into stalker 2

[coarse reef]

no, monolith is better

[twilit flower]

@edgy holly is an enemy of the monolith

@finite dragon welcome back, brother. you filled a gap in our ranks that could only be filled by yourself. thank you. brother.

[finite dragon]

Can someone tell me what the lil altar looking things are in the monolith bases are called in CoP

[twilit flower]

they are makeshift antennas, connecting to the monolith.

[finite dragon]

So basically smaller Brain scorchers?

[twilit flower]

malevolent forces have tried to disrupt communication between the crystal and the brotherhood. it was in vain. any disruption is only superficial and temporary

[finite dragon]

I’m talking in lore man

[twilit flower]

@finite dragon c-con (or at least some scientist that were part of c-con) got destroyed by the traitor strelok

[tepid ibex]

Gatling AK

[twilit flower]

of course it's all according to the grand plan of the crystal, but that interrupted communication between the monolith forces and the crystal (which most ppl say is just an illusion created by c-con and c-con is the one giving orders) but we know better. glory to the monolith. stay strong in your belief brother.

[finite dragon]

Yes but the mini antennas in CoP I remember one giving off Psi emissions is it like a mini Brain Scorcher?

Pray to the monolith live by the monolith die the monolith

[twilit flower]

well, let's say how simple most stalker describe the situtation... the monolith has a lot in its back hand

it is all going according to the crystals grand will. the fools will see easy victories

the crystal outsmarts them, it fools them into accepting believing easy truths, like the monolith only being an illusion.

[finite dragon]

(Ok put it like this the mini antennas produce psi waves correct?

[twilit flower]

maybe they transmit and receive

[finite dragon]

Hmm

[twilit flower]

strelok destroyed some important transmitters

but we will rebuild. it is of no consequence to be honest. the unbelievers think they achieved a great victory. but the brotherhood stands strong

we grow in numbers.

[crimson tinsel]

[twilit flower]

many stalkers are joining ours ranks. more and more are beginning to see the truth in the brotherhoods endeavours. a path to enlightenment. there are some who may still refuse to join our ranks, but be assured - their will is wavering. their doubts growing. their existence with each passing day becoming more miserable.

[crimson tinsel]

Le bruh

[twilit flower]

stalkers, freedom, scientists... all on their path to glory, riches, knowledge. they may at long last find their way onto the path of truth, happiness, enlightenment. as the crystal wills it

[tepid ibex]

Well, my only theory about Monolith still being functional after those years, is that the remnants of c-consciousness are using Generators, and the Noosphere itself, to maintain the minimal connection

[twilit flower]

be assured, the brotherhood will accept you with open arms. come forth, accept the glory of the monolith

[solid dome]

Come, come, ye saints

[finite dragon]

I'm so glad that they cancelled the NFT idea

[ionic fulcrum]

same

[tepid ibex]

Yea, even if it wouldn't affect the gameplay itself, them getting into this scam alone leaves quite a bad aftertaste

[finite dragon]

NFTs itself are huge scams

[tepid ibex]

Hopefully they will stay true to their decision

Oh yeah the one at the end of the road

[finite dragon]

they use a more light green version of the PBF mask

[finite dragon]

that's not rp

[winged dust]

I meant the monolith monologues

[finite dragon]

that's not rp

it's just a joke

[twilit flower]

yeah and the people not having joined monolith just aren't getting it

take a hint, join monolith

it's better this way

[finite dragon]

average monolith enjoyer

[crimson tinsel]

Join the zombified faction

[finite dragon]

they're dumb

[crimson tinsel]

Mochiiiiiiiiiii

Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[twilit flower]

ok if it's easier this way. zombified is fine by me. can always join the path to enlightenment later

[winged dust]

Eh. Every encounter I've had with Monolith has been shoot-first-ask-questions-never. ...their perspective. Don't think they were interested in recruiting me.

[twilit flower]

zombified is the "maybe" faction when it comes to accepting the truth

[finite dragon]

i hate zombified ones, monolith is ahead of them

Guys join traders

they are a faction

[crimson tinsel]

I have a concern

[twilit flower]

well, you're being offered to join right now

can't say you didn't have choice after this

[finite dragon]

leave ecologists monolith knows a lot about the zone

Ecologists are basically military's puppet

[crimson tinsel]

If bread, canned food and sausage are the only foods in the zone

Then where did Sidorovich get the chicken drumstick

[twilit flower]

the monolith desires capable stalkers right now. whoever decides against joining won't have an excuse after today.

[finite dragon]

if ecologists have guns why do they always go with the military?

[twilit flower]

just take a moment to think about this unique opportunity. you could join an elite force, fighting for the truth. right. now.

don't waste it.

[finite dragon]

yeah and not some science guys who act cool with their scientific suits

[crimson tinsel]

Yeah

[twilit flower]

well no hate against them, but they're poking a body with their wooden sticks. they wouldn't get close to the truth in a million years. only the union with the crystal will provide clear answers

[crimson tinsel]

Kruglov yelling while taking on 4 mercs

[twilit flower]

the zone's truth, and your personal truth, it could not be described in words.

[winged dust]

I just wanna stick hands in anomalies, don't care who's paying tbh but at least scientists have appropriate PPE available

[twilit flower]

when you accept the crystal's embrace, it will become clear very quickly.

[winged dust]

I kinda imagine Freedom daring each other to hunt artifacts in their skivvies, by contrast

[crimson tinsel]

Monolith cultists are immune to the fearful blowout

[winged dust]

I mean so is anyone standing inside a boat or drainage channel apparently

[twilit flower]

it is only of concern to the ignorant

[winged dust]

Or on copious ammounts of drugs which sounds like the fun way to survive tbh

[solid dome]

Kruglov walking in circles

If you know what I mean

[crimson tinsel]

Kruglov walking in krug

Krug means Circle

[solid dome]

That's what I'm saying

Lmao

This man was born to be stuck in a krug. So they called him this way.

[crimson tinsel]

I still have a question unanswered

Where did he get the drumstick in the Zone?

[finite dragon]

Turkey

From the USA

[winged dust]

Wasn't there some historical context to that? US aid in the form of Tyson chicken?

Huh, yeah, apparently, but that gets into political crap. Current events, even.

[solid dome]

Lmao

Don't discuss his drumstick, aye

Man has contacts

[crimson tinsel]

So he got it from the outer world?

[fickle bison]

He gets everything from the outaide the zone

[crimson tinsel]

Yes but uhh

Hm

[solid dome]

Premium drumsticks source can't be disclosed

[crimson tinsel]

Food import usually yields unfresh food

[solid dome]

Cause you'll want to order

[toxic vector]

where did monolith get high end gears?

[solid dome]

I never thought Monkeybrain....

Are you sure you aren't Metamonkey?

[winged dust]

The Zone provides

[toxic vector]

i hope we will have the answer to that in stalker 2

[crimson tinsel]

They got gauss gun design from looting the long gone Scar

[toxic vector]

what about the F2k

[crimson tinsel]

F2K?

[finite dragon]

what is f2k

[crimson tinsel]

No idea

[finite dragon]

oh f2000?

[crimson tinsel]

Looting killed mercs

[toxic vector]

lol, how can you survive in the zone with that little firearm knowledge

[finite dragon]

you said it the way I've never heard anyone say it

also later I said "oh f2000?" so I don't get what you mean lmao

[toxic vector]

what about their own armor camo?

[crimson tinsel]

They make do

Like any other faction

[winged dust]

Really wish they just used actual names for weapons, but I guess licensing is expensive

[toxic vector]

TRs-301 is a cool name

[crimson tinsel]

The AR?

[toxic vector]

yup

[crimson tinsel]

It's meh

[finite dragon]

isn't it an m4a1 or something

[crimson tinsel]

I often call the weapon "Taras"

[winged dust]

Then again Alpine and what not sound neat. Wanna believe Nimble just scribbled whatever poetic crap he thought of on the guns in sharpie.

[toxic vector]

it get fast rof and good accuracy

decent handling stats

pretty good

[crimson tinsel]

I prefer VSS

[finite dragon]

same

it does quite a lot of damage

[toxic vector]

9x39 isnt cost efficiency

[crimson tinsel]

Once I get G36 the trs becomes obsolete

[toxic vector]

TRs shoots faster

[static compass]

Praise be the big rock

[crimson tinsel]

Professionals have standards

Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everybody you meet

1 bullet for 1 head

[near star]

any clue if S2 will have actual weapon names or not

[toxic vector]

can you always make reliable headshot at the bloodsucker?

[crimson tinsel]

I dont use sniper rifles on mutants lmao

[toxic vector]

you have to switch weapon

[crimson tinsel]

Succers are predictable

[toxic vector]

that inconvenience can kill you

[crimson tinsel]

They breathe loudly so you can switch to shotgun

Huh

[toxic vector]

me, just do hip fire with the TRs

that is faster

[crimson tinsel]

What about the long range

[toxic vector]

you can use the scope when ads

[crimson tinsel]

What about stealth?

[toxic vector]

ofc the suppressor

[crimson tinsel]

But it cant OHKO though

[near star]

good thing all the suppresors in stalker are QD and no point of impact shift

Just pull the trigger again, not like there's a whole bolt to pull back

[toxic vector]

low recoil and high accuracy makes doing follow up headshot a cakewalk

[near star]

controlled full auto burst time

[crimson tinsel]

Yeah. Right.

[near star]

also ammo weight

I get that slow weight is the purpose of 9x39 but that doesn't make it any lighter

[toxic vector]

they need to make every exosuit guy a miniboss in stalker 2 , otherwise 5.56 weapons will rule again

[crimson tinsel]

I remember the AK from Strelok's stash

[near star]

how to burn through 5.45 with this one weird trick

[crimson tinsel]

Nah

I have no problem with that

[near star]

Me neither

Lack of repair in vanilla soc made it kinda wack to use but whatever

Felt more like "here's best 5.45 spitter until you cop a 5.56 weapon not called the L85"

[deep snow]

i hated buying armour in soc becuase of that

[near star]

ZRP repair system o clock

[crimson tinsel]

By the time you reach the ChNP you probably will find a lot of ammo

[deep snow]

i play vanilla and it sucks not being able to repai like my exoskeleton

[crimson tinsel]

You can repair armor actually

In SoC

[near star]

Without 4 electric artifacts

Or however many it was

[crimson tinsel]

With 4 membrane artifacts then

[near star]

without 4 artifacts

[crimson tinsel]

With 5 artifacts

[near star]

You know what I mean

I want to use my cash for things other than ammo and medical supplies by endgame

And not like guns and armor I'll use for 30 seconds

[crimson tinsel]

In endgame there are tons of stashed armor

[near star]

suddenly realizing I'll probably have to notepad++ the ability to sell whatever durability items to vendors again in S2

[crimson tinsel]

Except S2 is built on a different engine

[near star]

Right

I still get the uneasy feeling that I'll have to break out notepad++ to sell whatever garbage quality makarovs you get from the first enemies to whoever the first trader is

And that it won't be like a toggle or slider

[crimson tinsel]

Money isnt that hard

[near star]

How do you know how hard money is to come by in S2?

You got some secret dev build?

[hazy helm]

How do you know how hard durability selling will be in S2?you got the secret build?

Basically,repeat until dead

[near star]

probably signed the NDA while typing that out

[tired anvil]

Only from the 2011 S2

[hazy helm]

A good thing both are unrelated

[tired anvil]

Both got Deer and Zallesya, basically the same

[hazy helm]

Except 2011 stalker is pretty wack

[crimson tinsel]

I will always find a way to farm money efficiently

[tired anvil]

Was never hard to get money in the trilogy, probably won't be too hard in S2 either

[near star]

probably

[finite dragon]

perhaps

[vernal magnet]

Nah it was tight as hell

It just wasn’t finished. At aaaaaaall

That X-ray 2 leak was very impressive to tinker with

[hazy helm]

The Exosqueleton Head was it crushed your brain such an ugly suit

[vernal magnet]

The costumes back then were ugly as sin that much is true

[finite dragon]

Yo ping the novices and just start bragging about not being a novice

[hazy helm]

Story was also wack asf

[vernal magnet]

To be fair story wasn’t done and it’s super close to what we have now. Strelok died in the beginning and you get blamed and you go in the zone to clear your name. It’s like an Ukrainian Full Throttle and I’m all about it

[hazy helm]

What do you mean is close to what we have now

[fickle bison]

Who is Skif's voice actor? He sounds like should narrate documentaries

[finite dragon]

Hahahahahaha novice

[fickle bison]

Ok rock banger

[finite dragon]

Ok leather lover

[digital fern]

so i finally did it

i pre ordered stalker 2

[finite dragon]

Nice

[hazy helm]

Which edition and physical?

[digital fern]

ultimate edition

hope its going to be good

[hazy helm]

Nice,got money to spend

[digital fern]

well it was my birthday

yesterday

[crimson tinsel]

Big

[wicked sleet]

wagwan

[finite dragon]

Ha

[crimson tinsel]

Stalkin yo mom stalk stalk stalkin

[wicked sleet]

[finite dragon]

you cant hurt me you are in my head you can only make me hurt myself and others

[crimson tinsel]

Once there lived an ugly barnacle

He was so ugly that everyone died

The end

[near star]

bro just rifle grenade him it's not that hard

[finite dragon]

Yea

Use your fast firing AK

[finite dragon]

Any good guitar music that would go good with the ingame setting?

[fickle bison]

I wish that STALKER 2 would have the ability to create your own faction

[summer mauve]

You can

[fickle bison]

Oooooooooooh

Really?

[wicked sleet]

nice i'm creating Grove Street OG faction

press G to have your gang member follow

[finite dragon]

Ima make a crack addicted freedom faction

[still ridge]

No

[fickle bison]

According to 4chan,the voice actor for skif is Denis Lyubimov

[tired jacinth]

what the heck are nft integrations supposed to mean?

[still ridge]

nothing forget about it

They’re canceled

[still ridge]

Yeah but it’s 4chan

[wicked sleet]

@still ridge hahaha genius

[summer mauve]

What about it?

[vernal magnet]

No that guys pulling your leg

[still ridge]

Take everything with a grain of salt from anything that isn’t the devs

[vernal magnet]

The story we have now with Niichaz nefarious plans, the stranger who works for them, death of strelok (not confirmed but heavily implied) the reuse of 2012 anomalies and ideas. Etc

[still ridge]

Especially if it’s 4chan

[wicked sleet]

who implied death of strelok ?

[summer mauve]

Stalker devs

[still ridge]

We don’t know who stranger is

He’s literally stranger

[vernal magnet]

We don’t know his identity but he works for Niichaz

[hazy helm]

I didn't particularly like the idea of 2011 I wanna see Stalker360 come back

[still ridge]

How do you know

[vernal magnet]

Reasons

The cypher revealed a lot

And certain leaked info

[fickle bison]

Zone poppie field implies zone heroin

[still ridge]

Opium

[vernal magnet]

USA oil hunting noises

[wicked sleet]

yeah last thing we need is some delta force bullcrap lol

[vernal magnet]

fortunate son starts playing

[wicked sleet]

i'd literally shoot myself

[solid dome]

fades into nickelback, ruins the atmosphere

[near star]

have you heard the clear sky dynamic music

[vernal magnet]

GSC’s revenge for our protest the other day 😂

[vernal magnet]

Some of the dynamic music is sooooo weird lol

I’ll randomly be walking everything’s calm then some fuuuuunky combat music stirs up and nothings happening and I’m doing that simpsons meme “haha, I’m in danger”

[wintry bluff]

any info on when/if the limited retail edition is coming to Canada?

[solid dome]

Yep.

"When them lazy stores open up their pages"

Sort of

Blame it on your chaps being slow, since GSC is only posting links when they make things available - stores (they)

[wintry bluff]

😦 I hope its not going to be same story as with Metro Exodus collectors edition in Canada 😦

[finite dragon]

😋

[solid dome]

What was that?

[wintry bluff]

it never came here (((

we got shafted

[solid dome]

Schucks

[finite dragon]

😢

[wintry bluff]

lol this one is a diff story though, il fly to Europe or Australia if i have to for this one!! 😂

[hazy helm]

They're working on it don't worry,it's harder in the Americas since GSC is Ukrainian

[solid dome]

Can't you order from UK?

[wintry bluff]

im not sure 😒

[finite dragon]

Sold out in the UK last night after announcing no nft

PC that is

[solid dome]

Hot damn

[hazy helm]

Hot diggidy damn

[solid dome]

Hot wowzers damn I'd say

[hazy helm]

Jeepers

[fickle bison]

PC physical copies sold out?

[abstract fiber]

wish they'd give us a chance for it to be sold out

still no physical edition in the US, smh

[wintry bluff]

i feel the paaaain 😢

[abstract fiber]

it's just about the longest i've seen a company put off retail collector's editions. maybe this christmas?

i understand why tho, easier to get this stuff shipped out to the old world nations when you're over there

[hazy helm]

They're working on it calm down it's harder when there are no connections

[wintry bluff]

its going to be chaos when it finally comes out here though lol

[abstract fiber]

calm down!? don't you tell me to calm down! i'll calm down when i feel like calming down, you hear!?

sdalger sdalger sdalger where my pre-ordeerrrr BOOHOOOOO

[fierce stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/calm-down-chill-martin-freeman-interview-breathe-gif-5362498

[flint blade]

How fast tho

[finite dragon]

I think standard and deluxe pc retail are available, pretty sure ultimate are sold out from game and amazon

[fickle bison]

jeez

[flint blade]

How fast tho

[hazy helm]

How fast what

[flint blade]

How fast did they sell

[finite dragon]

Well within a hour from the no nft post thru gone

[ashen axle]

「Callmebruh」#9203 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[flint blade]

Oop

[hazy helm]

Hot diggidy do

[wintry bluff]

for now only the standard xbox edition is available in Canada

[flint blade]

If it a hour I'm out of luck

[finite dragon]

I have a slight feeling this was a very good PR stunt if so very well played GSC well played

I cancelled my ultimate pc when nft announced

[flint blade]

This sucks

[finite dragon]

Had to settle for series X

[flint blade]

I want ultimate pc

[hazy helm]

Ouch

[finite dragon]

Yeah ouchy

[flint blade]

Hopefully there more coming to the US

[hazy helm]

American

[finite dragon]

I think if demand is high surely more will come

[hazy helm]

Ha

Anyway

[flint blade]

Shut it

[fickle bison]

Man, Havent bought a physicla edition of a game since 5 years ago when I got this PC

No DVD drive, you see

[fickle summit]

How similar is it going to be to the older PC titles (Inventory system, durability meters, fast travel/the lack thereof)

It would be my first Stalker title so I'm essentially blind

[hazy helm]

hopefully a lot

[fickle summit]

I'd hope so too

[hazy helm]

Don't you should play SoC first,the CS and then CoP

Vanilla preferebly

[fickle summit]

I can't

[hazy helm]

No pc?

[fickle summit]

No PC

[fickle bison]

Wait, how did the physical editions of STALKER 2 sell out if the game isnt out yet? Pre-orders?

[hazy helm]

How sad

[loud urchin]

So NA retail dropped?

[fickle summit]

Yeah yeah, I've heard it all before

[hazy helm]

Preorder of th stock

[finite dragon]

Autumn aurora 2.1 for SoC is sooooo good

[hazy helm]

I'd still tell you to play vanilla first time around

[finite dragon]

Yeah pre order

[fickle summit]

Well I guess I am still going in blind

[wicked sleet]

the most expensive one was sold out in less than an hour in my country

[fickle summit]

Fortunately, thanks to the power of Xbox Game Pass, I won't have to worry about making a 60 dollar investment that I'll regret

[hazy helm]

Don't know who scar and Strelok is how sad

[fickle summit]

I do

[flint blade]

No retail preorder in NA I believe

[fickle summit]

I'm trying to get into the lore of the titles via YouTube

I just can't play them

[hazy helm]

Worst way

I mean the worst way to do so would be anomaly but a bad way nonetheless

O well

You do what you can

[fickle summit]

And I suppose you'll give me a better option?

[flint blade]

Anomaly free

So it the only way for u

[hazy helm]

I can get you the intire trilogy for only 3 bucks if you want

[flint blade]

I already have them all

[fickle summit]

Believe me, id rather play the games and use other sources to fill in where necessary

[flint blade]

I played all of them and anomaly

[hazy helm]

Nha sorry Incant with a clear conscience tell you to use streamin services makes my skin crawl

[fickle summit]

Just not an option for me

[flint blade]

Game pass is ok

[fickle summit]

It is. It's what's going to let me play the game

If I don't like it, all I lose is the time I spent

I do think I'll like it, though

[still ridge]

Don’t play anomaly

[hazy helm]

Kek

[abstract fiber]

booting it up rn

[hazy helm]

She can't either way

[wicked sleet]

who else is afraid this is going to end up with big arrow pointing you where to go and autohealing ?

[flint blade]

I like anomaly cause it has more wepons

[fickle summit]

Then again I said that about DAYZ when it came to console and

Man DAYZ sucks

[hazy helm]

Are you a toddler?

[still ridge]

Well the originals didn’t so

[flint blade]

No I like firearms and I'm American

[abstract fiber]

based

[hazy helm]

So yes you're a toddler Jesus

[wicked sleet]

@still ridge that's my point man

[hazy helm]

I'm gonna click out see you guys

[flint blade]

Bye

[fickle summit]

Later nerd

[still ridge]

It’s gonna be optional anyway

if it is

[wicked sleet]

hope so

[finite dragon]

Oh yeah 100 for a first time play

[abstract fiber]

i completely forgot how different vanilla SHoC was even from CS

wandering around just picking up artifacts laying in fields is retarded

[wicked sleet]

yet another cut feature

[hazy helm]

CS expanded so much from SoC mechanics it's uncanny,best game in series

Now for real I am going

[finite dragon]

CS I've yet to this day never completed it,story wise SoC is my No.1 by far, from what I've played CS does very well expand on mechanics that's for sure

[still ridge]

Have you played CoP

[vernal magnet]

Agreed. CS was amazing

[finite dragon]

Yeah CoP is good

Tried with misery mod and hated it

[hazy helm]

CoP is the weakest bro

[finite dragon]

Them grenade spams God damn

[still ridge]

story wise sure

cop is the worst

[finite dragon]

Yeah story wasn't the best

Locations I like very much in CoP

CS ❤️

[wicked sleet]

also CoP soundtrack is dope

[hazy helm]

Like CoP refines a LOT of stuff I gotta hand em that

[finite dragon]

it did

[wicked sleet]

Pripyat Night is scaryyyy

[finite dragon]

yeah pretty gud

[hazy helm]

I love the upgrade system and the anomaly and artifact system along with the weapon balancing it's great

[finite dragon]

Been playing on a few modded dayz servers and Chernobyl zone map is cool as

[wicked sleet]

it's been ages since I played any vanilla stalker game lol

[finite dragon]

Download and play now comrade

[wicked sleet]

i will play the trilogy during march just to get ready

[finite dragon]

Hell yeah man

I'm doing the same but with mods on each

Then end of Feb all three again vanilla

[still ridge]

Have you not played them?

[wicked sleet]

i will mod but only essentials, basically fixed vanilla games

[hazy helm]

Mod is vannilla

[finite dragon]

Autumn aurora is on of the best imho

[wicked sleet]

@still ridge i have hundreds of hours in each of them

[finite dragon]

With ogse taking second place

[hazy helm]

You should at least do one playthrough unmodded preferably the first you do

[wicked sleet]

@hazy helm no vanilla is unmodded

[flint blade]

Why mod something that's is so perfect

[wicked sleet]

I'm using Datastor Modpack, it's Czech only but it's literally perfect

[wintry bluff]

the games are old enough and not to demanding, if you have a chance to just borrow a lap top i would highly HIGHLY recommend playing the trilogy first. If not the trilogy than at least Shadow Of Chernobyl.

[fickle summit]

I do own a lap top, and it's even a new lap top. The problem is that it's a Mac, which complicates things

[wintry bluff]

i love the interiors of AA2.1 but i think the outside is nicer in Memories of The Zone 1.1

[wintry bluff]

look in to the software "Parallels" for mac 🙂

[fickle summit]

What, like a virtual machine? Or just investing in a functional Windows PC

[wintry bluff]

its a virtual machine

[tepid ibex]

VM is basically an operating system within an operating system

You can emulate an entire PC/Mac/Linuc machine, within your normal PC

[fickle summit]

I know what a VM is

I just don't know if I should bother

I'll think about it but I'm sure it'll be fine

[wintry bluff]

the trilogy and especially the first game is a masterpiece. a must play in my opinion

if you like the genre, once you play SOC you will be hooked.

depending on how old your mac is you could also use boot camp utility to partition for windows

[fickle summit]

I'll do some research. I don't want to download any software without making sure it's clean first

[wintry bluff]

for sure!!!

[fickle summit]

Believe me, I'd build a PC, and I have the money to build one

[tepid ibex]

There might be two problems with that. Macs are [REDACTED] on their own performance-wise, and using a VM is highly resource-hungry. Sure, you can run Gamecube-era games like that, but Stalker is too much for that

[fickle summit]

I just don't want to

[wintry bluff]

yea u may be right!

[fickle summit]

Such is the life of a Mac user/console user

[wintry bluff]

https://tenor.com/Ht2e.gif

:p

[solid dome]

Who said CooP is the worst here, I dare beat you with the broomstick

[modern mason]

[soft ice]

He said it was new and you can easily run stalker on Mac with boot camp as far as I know

[finite dragon]

I will check out memories of the zone for sure , the gun play in AA is honestly the best I've played in any mod for stalker

[fickle summit]

I've got a question about the original Stalkers

I read something in here talking about not wanting to see an arrow that points to where you're supposed to go as though that would be a feature added in HoC

What was navigation like in the older titles? How did you know where to go/how to get around?

[finite dragon]

You have a PDA that shows markers for objectives and missions as such, and top of the HUD you have a mini map which has a arrow to the direction of selected mission/objective, true stalkers have no HUD 😏

[fickle summit]

But of course

[wicked sleet]

@finite dragon no hud, makarov, knife, tourist delight and vodka, all true stalker ever going to need

[finite dragon]

[spring oxide]

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

You comrade shall have a place at every campfire around the zone

[tough portal]

was someone removed from the GSC rank? could have sworn there were 3 people in it

[steel crest]

Someone could’ve gotten offline idk

[tough portal]

well even then it shows how many people are in the rank

[steel crest]

True I guess

[finite dragon]

Love me some tourists delight

[finite summit]

wait

i almost forgot

literally 1984

[hazy helm]

It shows how many ppl in the rank are online

Not how many ppl with the role

[winged thicket]

hello there

[wicked sleet]

what's this 1984 reference

oh

rude

[winged thicket]

so i just read about this NFT thing and i am not an expert. i know in other games people made their full time job to get them, and it become really hard for normal people to get by. but if it's nothing game changing just skins or something like that it should be ok isn't it? i know they canceled it but this could be a good way to put more money and love in to the game if i am understanding correctly. or am i missing something? why everyone hates it so much?

[still ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/gus-fring-gustavo-breaking-bad-stare-eyeing-gif-16275096

[covert torrent]

what happend with the NFT's here?

[finite summit]

You ARE missing something. Something really important. With NFTs S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 becomes an unplayable piece of utter garbage that's not worth not only playing but even looking at!

[covert torrent]

I haven't been active here for months

[wicked sleet]

they dont need no money 4 months before release, if they needed money, it could have been crowdfunded back in 2018 when Stalker 2 was announced, unnecessary cash grab is what it is

*what it was

[vernal magnet]

I got a video dropping soon in the next day with the whole story and breakdown but in the meantime it was the beginning of pushing a new digital format like DLC that gamers have been opposing for a long time. If GSC needs more money they can do collars like GFuel or sell us merch directly or through partners online so that they have no overhead to handle. People don’t mind supporting GSC but they want it done the right way

[finite summit]

I think everyone hated NFT because it was a scam but they hypothetically could need money due covid crisis even though it started almost 2 years ago

[abstract wadi]

No more NFT baby
Woooooooooooooo

[vernal magnet]

I mean a lot of us are already spending hundreds of dollars for the ultimate edition. They’re getting paid

[finite summit]

It's pretty sad that they removed the NFT

[covert torrent]

COVID crisis changed everything, and everyone

so it is possible they got some troubles, and need more funds

[abstract wadi]

They can simply say we need donations

[vernal magnet]

They clarified that they aren’t hurting for money but want to explore money for the future of the game

[wicked sleet]

mate they have both grygorovich + microsoft money

[abstract wadi]

If they want more money they could make merch.... Like Doom did. I have the classic Doom helmet

[finite summit]

They may find it to be "unprofessional" and will probably try to get help of investors to look more like a big-boy company.

[abstract wadi]

@finite summit If they want more money they could make merch.... Like Doom did. I have the classic Doom helmet

[finite summit]

true

I think they actually planned merch back in 2011

[sonic rampart]

They still do I think

Or maybe it was for the developers only

No idea anymore

[wicked sleet]

i still want to see how 2012 stalker would look like, even if it is said it was crap

and yes i played that leaked build and seen the animations leaks

[finite summit]

there are leaked concept arts, design documents and really REALLY early builds

[wicked sleet]

@finite summit i've played that build

[west spire]

does anyone know when retail editions comeing to NA

[wicked sleet]

@finite summit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJN33X99e0E

@west spire sorry sheldon, most of us here are european i presume

[vernal magnet]

Plus I have a ton of old merch from the old site stalker-shop.com they easily made merch as the old GSC and they are only more equipped to make it now again

[cedar forum]

Agyas what are you writing?

[winged thicket]

thank you for the answears. i am not suprised if they need more money after covid, and for future projects in stalker. i would buy a tons of merch tho. but if it's only skins i would be ok with NFT too although i know they won't make it now.

[open lintel]

can I interest you in another?

[winged thicket]

@cedar forum i am just slow, i am watching something 😄

[pastel palm]

I don't even know what an NFT is yet.

I think I am considered old

[winged thicket]

i just read about it too 😄

[pastel palm]

I just cant be bothered lol

[winged thicket]

@pastel palm well in some way yeah, but stalker is still the best singleplayer experience i have ever had so i do care a lot about S2

[pastel palm]

That's fair lol. First I heard of it was the announcement they're not doing NFT's lmao

[winged thicket]

😄

[pastel palm]

My thoughts.... I don't even know what that is... but if people didn't want it, that's good! lmao

It's tough out there though. I feel for game developers... No matter what you do, someone will be mad lol

[cedar forum]

Oh ok.
I was just confused how long of a message is a person writing that it takes him 8minutes to type

[winged thicket]

but they canceled it cause we did not like it so, that's a good thing i guess. and i don't think it was only a marketing thing

[pastel palm]

Good they took the feedback for sure!

[spiral bear]

They didn't really had a choice

[pastel palm]

Sometimes it be like that lmao

[spiral bear]

The discord went crazy over it ^^

[pastel palm]

I'm a Discord/Forum moderator for another large game, sometimes the feedback is just overwhelming and there's no choice lmao

[spiral bear]

Which game ?

[pastel palm]

Escape from Tarkov

Can be a controversial game lol

[winged thicket]

maybe it could have been a great thing to support them and have special skins for us. i mean if it's nothing game changing i am ok with it. i am curious about that @vernal magnet at this point, cause i just read about yesterday so i don't know shit.

[sand plume]

Voice chat in Tarkov looks fun

[pastel palm]

It's a great change!

The game is in the best state it's ever been imo!

[spiral bear]

I really think that if they had thrown the NFT wording to the bin and just said "hey ! bid for having the chance of getting your face in ST2 on a random NPC with small backstory" it would have gone well

[pastel palm]

RimWorld, prison architect both did that very successfully

[spiral bear]

yep, i liked it on prison architect, just that if i remember the names weren't quite immersive ?

[pastel palm]

You could name the character whatever you wanted yeah.

Well implemented though and they made a killing lol

[winged thicket]

need money? make us official merch it would rock. i still haven't played airsoft in stalker gear. imagine that

[spiral bear]

They could do just patches

they would sold thousands of them in matter of minutes

[worthy lagoon]

@open lintel Become my fellow scientist, i will cook food for you

[open lintel]

scientist?

[vernal magnet]

Many of us are ready to drop hundreds of dollars on real merch. If it’s money they need, it’s all about doing it the right way.

[winged thicket]

yep agreed, anything just don't damage the gameplay with it.
edit: i mean they have more options i think then risking the game

[vernal magnet]

For sure. If they want limited skin drops they should turn it into a participation event or something like that. That would get people excited more I think

I hope they still do the face scan giveaway

[sonic rampart]

Or getting some sort of bonus for owning the older games like Doom Eternal does it.

[fickle bison]

that would be based

[sonic rampart]

Yeah, it'd be pretty cool

[keen abyss]

They listen to fans about NFT intergration - and cancel.
What about the women?

[pastel palm]

or sell us some alpha keys :3 lmao

[finite dragon]

i got exactly 3 weeks until my pc gets here

[stark steppe]

Mmm... Player stashes

[slow coyote]

[finite dragon]

[slow coyote]

[solid dome]

If Sean is SIdorovich, I'm Mel Gibson's cousin

[wicked sleet]

[vestal basalt]
