i do things to prove they can be done

[knotty sedge]

20 fps on potato settings

at most

[dire dagger]

i have a long list of tricks

i can use to get the game to run at 60 fps

since i still got 8 cores

and 16gbs of ram

[knotty sedge]

I need to get more

RAM

I keep putting it off

[dire dagger]

this ram gets hot enough

im not using rtx lol

not that it would matter either way

doesn't effect cpu performance

im gonna be using a titan x maxwell

to attempt to make it work

and my man wants high speed memory

whats more high speed then 800mhz bro

😎

[vernal magnet]

801mhz O V E R clocked

[wicked sleet]

13 beers in

[dire dagger]

the best kits can do 850mhz

but those are a crap shoot

and require pure luck to find

[wicked sleet]

yeah don't drink

[static compass]

Apparently they cracked that 11 hour video?

Or made progress or something idk

[finite dragon]

is 2933 MHz ram fast enough for stalker 2

i have it in my laptop.

my anomaly game is so cursed lol

rostok is held by 3 factions, military, ecologist and duty

That's a treaty between Freedom and Duty and also Strider's group, now known as "Midday"

The groupings are on a mission to clear the most dangerous and hazardous areas of the Zone

In the last paragraph the writer suggested to meet up and discuss about actions regarding the newfound allies:

1. Logistics of equipment supply
2. Assignment of responsibility for control and collection of data
3. Planning of operation "Zenith"
4. Recruitment of field agents from among the criminals
5. Personnel changes in formation "Warts"

[gusty trench]

REPORT CARD
Thanks to the consistent and strict adherence to the strategy created by our efforts, as well as the noteworthy professionalism of Colonel Korshunov, we were able to conclude the long-awaited D4 treaty. Under our auspices, a truce was concluded between the two most dangerous and numerous factions, Duty and Freedom. Moreover, a group of followers of the so-called Strider is now ready to assist our mission and has been reorganized into the "Noon" faction, aimed at operations to clean up particularly dangerous and
contaminated areas. Guaranteeing their loyalty и subordination would be irresponsible on our part, but in the short term we have reached an agreement in the common interest.
I propose that we set a date for a face-to-face meeting to discuss our next steps regarding newfound "allies." a namely:

1. Logistics of equipment supply
2. Assignment of responsibility for control and collection of data
3. Planning of operation "Zenith"
4. Recruitment of field agents from among the illegals.
5. Personnel changes in formation "Ward".

To the Supervisory Board
REPORT CARD
The events of the Zenith operation can be viewed with absolute certainty as one of the greatest failures in the history of our mission. The entire responsibility for the losses during the Zenith operation lies solely with professor D.V. Dalin and his subordinates in the scientific wing of NIICHAZ.
As a consequence of their negligence to the responsibility entrusted to them during the Zenith operation, the Ward forces have almost completely repeated the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the operation of 2006. Disabling the Generators was a critical element in achieving our goal, but as a result we not only lost our armored and air reserve, but also shattered the trust of allied Perimeter Security Service and Duty forces.
I look forward to your decisions soon regarding an internal investigation and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The Last Days of the Cipher Solution
In short
Several months ago a mysterious Reddit user under name OfSonsOrRow asked to find him.
After a long research deciphers found two videos on the YT channel of Roof Sworn So with a secret encrypted message: Ask the right question. After asking who is he, Roof Sworn So gave a link to the profile of Ben Oni.
Ben Oni's Twitter account started to publish posts, which contained only symbols. It was a UTF-8 code. Deciphers converted it to Russian and got the message:
"They all lie. I'm your friend. The only, for a long time. I'm there BMS72"
BMS72 was a name of the YT premier, which had a morse code. Morse code was decrypted - it was a report of NIICHAZ on terroristic attacks of Problesk on their convoys
At the same time, Problesk asked for help. Their base's location was leaked by one of the NIICHAZ agents. But since deciphers got into NIICHAZ secret agency network, they gave them a wrong location - Point C36 - it was an ambush.
Later, Problesk asked for help again. At this time, their guy got captured by NIICHAZ so we had to decrypt an intercepted radiogram:

• It's First, over!
• First, report.
• We cleared out both points. We got into an ambush at the point C36, started a fight, but had to retreat. There's a temporary camp at the point H42, It's almost fully evacuated. Ah. Also we met guys from Ward. Everything is fine. No incidents.
• Do you have anything important to report?
• One of the casualties had a badge with engravings. C14 and a skull with bones. We took one prisoner.
• Don't took a prisoner to the base on H12. Interrogate him and finish off.
• Understood. Everything will be done.
• Great. Update the access codes.
  R-2-3-1. Ring. Kilo. Juliet-Oscar. Position. Charlie. Quebec. Victor. Reflector. Charlie.
• Roger that, over.

[gusty trench]

Finally. The last message was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point...

You did it. I hid it carefully, sent it around the whole Zone, but I hope you did it. We'll make those bastard dance to a tune. I have been on a run for a long time, but I follow everything that happens in the Zone. I collected docs, files, materials, all the dirt I could dig up in all this time. Everybody should see that, show them so they will know. I hid it at the same place.

Operational Report of the MIA Force Operation on the Occurrence of an Unclassified Potentially Dangerous Natural Phenomenon on the Territory of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
On September 16, 2006 following numerous confirmed losses of personnel of scientific, technical and security personnel of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, consecutive complete loss of communication on July 26, August 12 and 26 with the AFU brigades who performed the task of cordoning off the CZ3 territory, perimeter. ¹4, ¹6 respectively, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approved the execution of the special operation, the plan of which was proposed during the unscheduled meeting of the representatives of the state security apparatus of Ukraine on August 28, 2006.
Under the leadership of the Northern Operational and Territorial
Command, the military reserve was formed on the basis of the 1st Independent Tank Brigade, 30th Independent Infantry Mechanized Brigade, 54th Independent Reconnaissance Battalion, and 72nd Independent Mechanized Brigade to ensure that the main objective of the operation was achieved by a sapper and tactical platoon, 2006. The command had a priority task to deliver the carrier of the special tactical experimental fuse (hereinafter the "charge") to the epicenter of the phenomenon (which according to preliminary reconnaissance was within 3 km from the 4th CNPP reactor) with the following activation of the explosive device, the full evacuation of personnel and the victims identified during the operation, with whom the communication was lost since June 10, 2006. The detonation of the charge was planned on the signal from the commanders of the structural subdivisions of the reserve to cross perimeter No. 4 in full strength, or in case of complete loss of communication with the personnel during the operation after activation of the charge.

On September 18, 2006, within 2 hours of crossing the perimeter at the Dityatki checkpoint at 9:00, the main operational force of the AFU reached the village of Zalesje without encountering any resistance. At 11:15 a.m., the main coordination headquarters of the operation received urgent news from Central

Hello, I have an important question about the unlimited version from Steam, I bought the unlimited version but I don't know how I will be able to pick up these gadgets in the form of a backpack, lamps, etc.?

[static compass]

How much was it?

Cuz if it wasn't 350 that's just the digital version

[wispy walrus]

you cant get the physical copy on steam

the eng ones arent even up for preorder still anyway outside the standard edition

[honest condor]

I will write to steam about the delay of money, because if you can not get something from the version where it is supposed to get it, I do not understand why they put it for sale

[waxen crypt]

Hello

I’m new to the Stalker games (Christmas noob)

[cedar oasis]

Welcome to the Zone

[waxen crypt]

Thx.

I got all 3 of the games from a steam bundle

[modern mason]

[cedar oasis]

I suggest playing them in order, so SoC, CS and then CoP but keep in mind that CS is chronologically first in order so if you want you can start with that one aswell. Also play on the master difficulty because the stalker games work a bit different than other games when it comes to the difficulty

[wispy walrus]

well, you bought the digital ultimate, not the physical

they're different products

steam only sells the digital variants

the page explains exactly what the various digital editions contain.

[waxen crypt]

I played a little bit of SoC and it looks really good for a game that came out in 2007

[wooden oyster]

is there a place to order the ultimate retail version of STALKER 2 in the US?

[still ridge]

Not yet

[wooden oyster]

weird just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing out

[still ridge]

Presumably soon

[wooden oyster]

okay ill keep an eye on it thanks!

[signal basin]

nah, don't start with cs. CS talks about many things from the first game, and it would ruin a large chunk of the story if you played CS first

Or trying to spare us the lesser evil

Shifting deadlines

The real evil is cancelling the game

It's always better to wait and announce a delay once instead of announcing a delay twice

[static compass]

I'm just glad they aren't over hyping it like CDPR did with Cyberpunk

[earnest urchin]

does anyone have that fan made video with scar getting revenge on strelok it seems to be deleted off YT

[finite dragon]

Its not

Lmao

[modest current]

Duty aggrevates that zone by attacking it, making it push back harder. Freedom defends the barrier from monolith and zombies

[fickle bison]

You know, even the most basic retail version comes with goodies, it makes me think the physical editions of the game are kind of an afterthought

[modest current]

Wanting to co exist with the zone while researching it is a much better move than just trying to fight it fruitlessly for years

[finite dragon]

Duty and Freedom are both epic and cringe in equal measure

Change my mind

[knotty sedge]

Duty is slightly more cringe

[half glade]

@modest current what u think about strelok then

[finite dragon]

❤️

[half glade]

❤️

[finite dragon]

They’re much less funny and their artifact&fun policies are insanely useless but they’re more structured and their ideas aren’t necessarily bad (although the pointless fighting with freedom is).

In fact, some of their goals are beneficial to stalkers in general (like fighting off mutants and bandits) and they’re motivated to save humanity which is good even if they’re getting the wrong idea of things

[knotty sedge]

good points

I still agree with Freedom more

[modest current]

Because you’re an unstoppable giga chad

[finite dragon]

During my clear sky playthrough I too joined freedom but currently I’d like to try playing as duty too

[modest current]

Strepok needed to be stopped. Him pushing in into the zone nearly made it destroy himself (and he inadvertently caused the destruction of clear sky)

[finite dragon]

Ashot and Yar are comedy gold, plus freedom suits might be bad but they look much better and the camouflage actually works

[modest current]

Flektarn is one of the best woodland patterns out there tbh

[finite dragon]

It is, although freedom suits are somewhat debatable due to the…substance they use on them…I forgot it’s name

[static compass]

Horizon

[finite dragon]

Never played stalker before, thinking about pulling the trigger on the bundle on the steam bundle out now

Is the bundle worth it?

I’d say definitely

Definitely worth the price and everything, even though stalker is by its very nature a difficult and unforgiving game (as an added bonus to that you have bugs and glitches) which most gamers cannot learn to appreciate.

Every person I know in real life who has played the game told me they stopped immediately cause it was too hard

[static compass]

Stalker 2 will also have bugs guaranteed, although since it's on unreal engine 5 hopefully it's less

[finite dragon]

It will be far less exactly due to this, though it can never be zero because the real life mechanics and conditions can never be fully simulated in a computer programme

And anyway, one tip for new players is to set the difficulty as high as possible (that is, because the difficulty affects both the player and the AI/enemies in equal measure, meaning that easier makes both you and the enemies bullet sponges and yes, this is incredibly annoying)

Just anomalies behaving normally heheh

[static compass]

I've also heard x ray engine isn't very good, but that's just what I've heard

[half glade]

cope

ikr

[finite dragon]

I honestly don’t know much about game design but I think the Xray engine is alright especially if you’re playing on a GTX 1050 or higher (all crashes are perfectly avoidable, even in my apocalypse-torn laptop!)

They’re bad but also good, kinda hard to explain

[half glade]

u can choose to side with none but freedumb is useless

[finite dragon]

I think they aren’t tbh

If they were SJWs they’d immediately die

Regular hippies don’t last in the zone at all, yet freedom has survived as a faction for years

Which means they are a bit hardened and have knowledge of the zone to a good extent

I think the weed is what keeps their brains from boiling, given that they live just opposite the brainscorcher. Lol.

Not a fan of weed and all that but freedom are aight because they tend to mind their own business. Duty on the other hand doesn’t but they assist other factions more than freedom does.

Both are good in their own ways

However, their usefulness is debatable

[modest current]

You haven’t lived until touching a wooden box sent you flying into a wall and dying instantly

[half glade]

best faction is sin

[finite dragon]

They were cut though

[knotty sedge]

gross

[half glade]

thats exactly why they are amazing

[finite dragon]

More factions were cut

Not just sin

[half glade]

renegades will rule the zone anyways

[static compass]

Bandits automatically win because bandit radio

[earnest urchin]

why are people still spreading this myth

[modest current]

Because at the end of the days, a bunch of dudes being bros is just a fun vibe

[finite dragon]

Clear sky radio is the best 😎

[half glade]

i play on the harderst dif just because u are chad

[modest current]

Gold

[half glade]

i mean who doesnt play on harderst dif stalker like who i dont talk to these ppl

[finite dragon]

I play on the hardest dif because everything is a thousand times deadlier and I love pain

[modest current]

And that’s facts

[knotty sedge]

wait, there's people who don't play on master?

[half glade]

u havent felt pain unitil u finished the game with shotguns and pistols only

[finite dragon]

Well, I played my first trilogy playthrough on stalker difficulty

[modest current]

Every time I try finishing the game with a different gun I always revert back to something like the SVD. Just can’t be beat

[half glade]

PMM

i do prefer fort12 tho

[finite dragon]

Ever heard of some guy finishing SoC with the exact same Makarov wolf gives you at the beginning? In PURE VANILLA?

[half glade]

i could do that

[finite dragon]

Legend

Though you cannot repair guns in vanilla SoC

[half glade]

i mean the last part would be a little harder cuz idk how to lift

over all u can complete the game in around 20 to 30 min

[finite dragon]

If you speedrun it’s just a game about a middle aged balding man who goes for a jog and accidentally discovers the universe lore

[modest current]

I honestly can’t see how that’s even possible, so good for that guy, he’s just better than I’ll ever be

[finite dragon]

Sometimes, pro gamer moves are possible

[half glade]

its not too hard

ofc it is better to finish it with big ben tho

idk big ben is really good for the later parts

[finite dragon]

The desert eagle feels very weird to me. I prefer most NATO handguns and the Fort-12

[half glade]

its about the dmg tho

[finite dragon]

In fact I used the fort 15 up until turning off the 5G emitter in the red forest

It is only then that it started to jam and I picked up a fancier USP instead

[half glade]

what red forest

u mean radar

[finite dragon]

I mean the brainscorcher

[half glade]

yeah its in radar

not bloody red forest

[finite dragon]

It’s the funnier side of the red forest, in a way

[half glade]

its more like on the side

cuz the tunnel would connect red forest and radar

right but the bald man blew it up

[finite dragon]

To be honest when I first heard “red forest” in SoC I was expecting to find a large red forest and found an industrial area instead, cause this is what the scorcher is mainly surrounded by. So you have a point.

In SoC it isn’t much of a forest to begin with

So yes
We could say it’s right on the edge of the red forest

[half glade]

the more red foresty thing is in cs

[finite dragon]

And it was creepier, too

It took me a straight sprint towards the bridge to Limansk and I fell onto an anomaly or bloodsucker twice

Ah yes those psy dogs

Clear sky is just a big doomer moment
Even dogs can rip you to pieces

On top of that, you’re broke and have little to no ammo

Spending time around Yantar was full of anxiety for me in both SoC and Clear Sky because you soon run out of ammo due to all the zombers and Sakharov just doesn’t sell any

[half glade]

the game is easy tbh

can be annoying at times but over all pretty easy

oh dude the last cs levels are ASS

like god

[finite dragon]

The worst I remember from clear sky was getting past the funny MG nest, refusing to give the bandits all my money, killing the one controller throughout the whole game, jumping over the fence of the death pool in limansk and finally the CNPP stuff. All that alongside being generally unable to understand where to go and what’s going on.

The poltergeists pit in the red forest mine was a semi-heart attack too although I was aware it was gonna happen if I didn’t watch my step.

[primal copper]

[tepid aspen]

hey I got a lore question, so once Strelok desactives the brain scorcher, is it gone for good or can someone activate it all over again?

[half glade]

thats something we do not know

[finite dragon]

I’m afraid we can only wait to see

[knotty sedge]

I don't see why it couldn't be activated

[finite dragon]

I think it can be in fact reactivated because it was a simple lever pull

[half glade]

well more like he shot it up

like the ending u see him blasting away

[finite dragon]

It’s not like the monolith won’t be able to get back into lab X-19

[primal copper]

maybe there is a second Brain scorcher somewhere

[finite dragon]

Besides, we’ll still see monolith forces in S2. Pretty sure about that since we’ve seen them.

[finite dragon]

I’m thinking the duga radar would be it

[half glade]

we know tho in cop

some monolith go back to humanity right

[finite dragon]

Only a few from what we saw

Just strider’s group

In the latest trailer we saw skif putting 2mm rounds into monolith soldiers and the more recent monolithian model has fully white eyes = the propaganda is still intact

Actually Strelok wore Sunrise only at Soc's beginning cutscene. If he woken up with that suit then it would've been far less challanging for players

[half glade]

no niet me not anonym ja chad strelok

his suit got all messed up

[finite dragon]

That and also Sid's greedy too

[half glade]

u are repeating my points

Which happend literally months ago before SoC began

[half glade]

dont you even dare to get you HANDS on him

i will hunt you down like a dog

I am balding with long hair

[finite dragon]

[half glade]

for me bald hair wouldnt fit

[finite dragon]

Not exactly but soon enough yes

[worthy lagoon]

Strelok OnlyStalkers when

[finite dragon]

I can't understand anything about Strelok's hair. He was bald in all 3 games but suddenly he had hair at the ending slide of CoP

[half glade]

honestly would pay for that

[finite dragon]

Lebedev onlyfan?

But how or why his hair didn't grow between the games?

[half glade]

he dead doe

[finite dragon]

He was literally being brainwashed for months

[half glade]

the time between games are really short

[finite dragon]

Yet he was still bald

[half glade]

at least soc and cop

[finite dragon]

7 months between CS and SoC and just 3 between SoC and CoP

Wouldn't call that a short period

Between SoC and CoP he could've shaved that somehow

But not between SoC and CS

[half glade]

its not hard to keep that hair style doe

lets be honest

[finite dragon]

And what’s between oblivion lost and SoC? 😳

[half glade]

sheeeeeeeeeesh

[finite dragon]

Not even year passed between 3 games

12 months

11***

[half glade]

the man is so iradiated hair doesnt grow

its just stays the same

[worthy lagoon]

We don't know

[finite dragon]

Question is, how long did each game last for according to the game lore?

[worthy lagoon]

Oh nvm, i was thinking you meant about Lebedev

[finite dragon]

CS: started in 10 September 2011, SoC: 1 May, 2012 and CoP: 3 August, 2012

But when did all games ended is unknown

But I assume CS ended at the middle/near the end of September

Stalker 2 takes place in modern day

[half glade]

we gonna see red haired stalkers

and soy bread

[finite dragon]

[half glade]

WE WENT TOO FAR GO BACK

What about morbidly obese stalkers due to officially imported KFC imports making it to sidorovich

Can’t believe this got me to level 12

Ngl, that chicken Sid was eating looked pretty fine

Considering the average food in the zone, absolutely yes.

Points at Flint and Beard

[half glade]

beard is not fat

[finite dragon]

Beard is just full of tea

[half glade]

thicc plus he wears a thicc suit

[finite dragon]

[half glade]

do not talk poo about beard

again i will kill you if u do

[finite dragon]

Bar VS Skadovsk who wins

Bar imho

[half glade]

bar is more secure and has no bandits

plus arena

[finite dragon]

Skadovsk isn't bad either

Oh I forgot about yanov

[half glade]

BAR wins

just barkeep lil stingy but bar it self better

[finite dragon]

Totally not yanov because that controller glitched in and scarred me for life

[finite dragon]

Meh, bandits at Skadovsk are neutral with Stalkers (till members of both factions won't come outside)

[half glade]

do you really want to defend bandits tho

they gotta get wiped

[finite dragon]

Nah, just saying

Tbh I never really was a big fan of bandits

[half glade]

hm i am in a mood for violence

[finite dragon]

Though I admit that they are funny and their phrases legendary

[half glade]

didint kill enough military in oblivion lost

[finite dragon]

They add a lot of charm to Stalker games too

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

I was only a fan of bandits back when I was a slavaboo and knew nearly nothing relating to the game

As soon as I played the game I saw them for what they are

[half glade]

i loved killing them in soc

[finite dragon]

I loved killing them in CS because they actually beg for your help not expecting to get relentlessly slaughtered

[half glade]

also i managed to save that duty near the hole but he doesnt say anything and runs around like an idiot cuz i doubt gse though he could live

[finite dragon]

During my current SoC playthrough kruglov bugged and eventually died, getting replaced with the other boomer with the funny word name

Bandits have a lot of potential though. In CoP they are wayy more advanced than in CS and CoP

And even were making a deal with Morgan

[vast flicker]

Za monolith

[half glade]

for me like he did basic talk

or just ran away

[half glade]

over all funny

[half glade]

lol monoli suck

[finite dragon]

Wait a sec I don’t remember who Morgan from CoP was…

[half glade]

gets kicked by a balg hobo with a knife

[finite dragon]

Duty trader

One who was selling weapons to bandits

[vast flicker]

I remembered Norman's Film

[finite dragon]

Still don’t remember so I’ll go to the wiki

[vast flicker]

Guys is Call Of Chernobyl is best stalker?

[amber stone]

no anomaly is the best stalker

[finite dragon]

Debatable

[amber stone]

the stalker games released by gsc gameworld are way too buggy and require mods

[finite dragon]

Which Stalker game is the "best" is subjective

Stalker game that is best for you isn't best for me

[amber stone]

anomaly is very polished and combines the 3 games into one game with all tthe story and stuff

[finite dragon]

Only experienced few bugs in SoC and CoP

[vast flicker]

I mean Anomaly is cool exec, with Winter mod but i dont like that concept that you don't have major missions

[finite dragon]

In CS a bit more but still not as much as I thought

[amber stone]

you do have a main storyline

[finite dragon]

Got an exoskeleton in anomaly only to find out they’re extremely underpowered, unlike in SoC

[amber stone]

the living legend one

[vast flicker]

Yea but u know i experienced that in SoC last time ;p

[amber stone]

i've done some research and the best suit is probably the ssp 99m

[finite dragon]

Exos in SoC could literally made you a living tank

Especially if you also had Mom's Beard artifact(s)

[elder fiber]

can i ask what winter mod you're using>

ive been trying to get YAWM to work but it just... doesnt work

or is it literally called "Winter mod"?

[vast flicker]

Today i arrived to NPP with g37

[vast flicker]

yet another winter mod

[amber stone]

i've been looking for a modpack for anommaly but i couldn't find one

does annyone have a good modpack?

[vast flicker]

Idk u need some addons to that mod

[elder fiber]

you must be a good driver, how did you avoid the anomalies in a car?

[finite dragon]

Not me, but you can ask that in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[elder fiber]

i have it but i guess i need to figure out how to get it to work

[finite dragon]

I’ve been seeing a lot of hype over provak’s weapon overhaul, although I haven’t tried it because I’d have to create a new save. I usually download addons individually but this one looks very good, unless you want to keep things simple

[elder fiber]

honestly i think i should just reinstall anomaly and transfer my saves, i have so many random duplicate folders i cant really tell where i should put the YAWM files....

[half glade]

Get da hell out of here

GET DA HELL OUT

[elder fiber]

get out of here stalker

[vast flicker]

Nice getting out. Stalker

[half glade]

Who da hell says I like stalker and dont like vanilla

[finite dragon]

I love mods like misery, autumn aurora and the like but I still miss vanilla. It was the best, the irreplaceable way to play the game. Period.

[amber stone]

vanilla needed some tweaks

[half glade]

And be like cries it's too buggy u prefer my overly moded coc or anomaly where the game it not recognisable anymoooore

[elder fiber]

is it weird that i enjoyed CS more than SoC and CoP?

[amber stone]

like the game colors are all gray

[finite dragon]

Anomaly is cool too although it certainly isn’t a replacement for the originals.

[amber stone]

yeah smh

[unborn wagon]

hello stalker, when i order ultimate retail are the digital accessories included or do i have to order digital ones as well?

[half glade]

NOTHING CAN REPLACE VANILLA

I SAID NOTHING

[vast flicker]

Strelok know what he sain

[elder fiber]

i treat it as a... in between story

[finite dragon]

Speaking about bugs, how many bugs have you guys experienced in vanilla games?

[half glade]

Not too many

[amber stone]

only a couple

[elder fiber]

between SoC/CoP and stalker 2

[finite dragon]

Many will disagree and straight up say that anomaly is bad and must be exterminated and maybe it isn’t the stalker we know but it’s still a great idea.

Honestly in all my 3 playhrough in all 3 games not as much as I thought

[amber stone]

altthough i haventt played tthe other games yett

[elder fiber]

play em all

[half glade]

OH MY GOD

U SEE THAT

[elder fiber]

they;re on saaaaaaaaaale u have no excuuuuuuuuse

[half glade]

I am very violent rn I WANT TO KILL

[elder fiber]

trilogy for like $15 bucks

[amber stone]

you're right

[half glade]

ANGER

[amber stone]

kill me

[finite dragon]

Ok I understand you

[elder fiber]

na na go ez guys

[finite dragon]

Won't even try to stop you from that

[half glade]

I am just a very passionate person

[elder fiber]

definatly play the original trilogy in vanilla tho

imho anomaly is best for overall atmosphere

vanilla best for the story

[amber stone]

ive seen a million reviews and they all say they're super buggy and unopttimized

[elder fiber]

i actually enjoyed the story in all 3 but tbh im easy to please lol

[finite dragon]

[amber stone]

see that's the problem

[half glade]

I played the game since it came out

[elder fiber]

according to some here the later builds (aka current steam builds) of the game were much less buggy than launch

[half glade]

Best game in my life

[finite dragon]

Debatable too

[elder fiber]

and i crashed like.... 3-4 times across all 3 games

[finite dragon]

Imho nothing can ever top SoC's athmosphere

[finite dragon]

If your computer is good enough to run anomaly in decent graphics then you can play the original trilogy with very few bugs mainly in clear sky, 99% of the rest are completely avoidable.

But that's my subjective opinion

[amber stone]

my pc is pretty decent

[elder fiber]

idk man i think its the graphical difference to me

[half glade]

JUST PLAY THE DAMN VAINILA AND SHUT UP

[amber stone]

btw how did youu guys find stalker?

[half glade]

I am eastern European

[elder fiber]

they both have similar basic atmosphere but the improvement in graphics and all the extra features in general just really flesh out the roleplaying aspect

[finite dragon]

From watching random videos and coming across Bandit's phrases

[elder fiber]

which in turn does a lot for the overall atmosphere of the game

[amber stone]

same

[finite dragon]

As corny as it might sound this is exactly how I found about Stalker

[half glade]

My father brought the game after he got it cracked from his friend

All 3 of them

[amber stone]

cheeki breeki sound effect starts screaming in my head

[half glade]

U make me want to kms

[elder fiber]

but hey to each their own.
be free, stalkers

I found out about the game through life of Boris first, forgot about it all then a few years later I heard of the game again, heard it has a great atmosphere and RPG elements too, so I bought SoC full-price.

I do not regret my choice at all as you can see

[finite dragon]

You watch Life of Boris?

I used to when I was 13

I see you're man of culture as well

[half glade]

Most ppl found it on vids and stuff lol my is just father brough home crac stalker we as a family played

[finite dragon]

Bro I found it just by coming across a random videos of bandit's quotes

My dad has heard of stalker long ago and knows it’s a game set in Chernobyl but nothing more than that lol

I think he would absolutely love it though

[half glade]

Ah I remember just watching my dad say and back seat game

Also asked him to do harder parts

I mean I was around 10 maybe less so

In cs the first underground blergh

[finite dragon]

Not-so fun fact: I didn’t see tolik in my first playthrough

U are banned

Not saving tolik is punishable by death 💀

Tolik my beloved

[finite dragon]

(I made it right this time)

[winter tusk]

sidorovich is a scamm

[finite dragon]

Who didn't saved Tolik is not a true fan

That man must be saved in absolutely all of your playthroughs

[finite dragon]

Nothing new

[finite dragon]

We all know that but better not to say it because sidorovich gets angry when you bring it up

[amber stone]

rue

true\

[finite dragon]

Ever wonder why Sid has so many killing contracts?

[half glade]

Tolik in stalker 2 when

[amber stone]

hey im not complaining

[finite dragon]

Brough 1 artifact to Sid and received a piece of bread and a bandage

[amber stone]

my fav tasks are killing contracts

[finite dragon]

Doesn't he says why?

[finite dragon]

I mean yeah they’re pretty fun unless you have to travel through most of the zone only to have your target killed by another random NPC

[half glade]

My fav tasks are completing soc in 20 min

[amber stone]

i use fastt travel

[finite dragon]

At one of these quests he says that someone is damaging his reputation and selling broken stuff

[finite dragon]

What’s that? 🗿

[half glade]

Fast travel ?

Huh

[amber stone]

oh i play anomaly

[finite dragon]

Oh boy

[half glade]

Just go play vanilla

[amber stone]

it has a fastt travel feature

[half glade]

Like go and play vanilla

[amber stone]

itts not a mod

[finite dragon]

Bro Anomaly just isn't the same

[half glade]

Go play the damn vanilla boy

[finite dragon]

It's another experience and game completely

[half glade]

Or amma woop yo ass

[finite dragon]

There’s also the guide feature where you basically get fast travel but lose money. Cool, right?

[amber stone]

ok what game do you guys recommend me to play

[half glade]

Cs and cop

[finite dragon]

Well that was fine addition imho

[half glade]

All of them

[amber stone]

like the firstt true sttalker game

[half glade]

Soc cs cop

[finite dragon]

Too bad that it wasn't added in SoC, though

[finite dragon]

Release order. SoC - CS - CoP

[amber stone]

hmm

[half glade]

There are 3 games from a trilogy stalker shadow of chernobyl clear sky and call of pripyat

[amber stone]

so i should play soc with the complete mod

[half glade]

NO

[finite dragon]

Yeah 3 canonical games

[half glade]

NO

NO MODS

[finite dragon]

Other games aren't canon

[finite dragon]

I think it’s best that it wasn’t added because it would ruin the atmosphere of having to run around and do everything all by yourself

[half glade]

NOT A SINGLE MOD

[finite dragon]

So don't assume them as one

[finite dragon]

Fair enough

[half glade]

Enough brain damage to me

[amber stone]

but the difficulty tthing that increases damage sucks

[finite dragon]

Okay if you really want to use mods I’d say only mod clear sky because some of the features are REALLY annoying

[half glade]

Then grow a pair lad

Play as it is

[finite dragon]

Vanilla must be played without any mods imho

[half glade]

Its not so hard

Its an easy game

[finite dragon]

Mods are keeping away things vanilla games have

[half glade]

Bloody hell

[finite dragon]

@half glade I can feel how frustrated you are even through my mobile screen

[half glade]

I am very calm

[amber stone]

PLS

SPARE ME

[half glade]

I am a bloody super saying with all the anger

Hahaha

[knotty sedge]

the weapons add to the aesthetic of the game

[half glade]

U got my there

[finite dragon]

Well, in the end it’s your choice. If you play anomaly, cool. If you play the originals but with mods, also cool. If you play pure vanilla, that’s great. It’s your choice, maybe your preferences are just different. Even getting to like stalker is actually a great thing as most people don’t even bother to see the store page or a trailer.

[half glade]

Yeah it's the new race of super soldier fighters called super saying

[amber stone]

like hear me out

[half glade]

From dangling balls z

[amber stone]

im not that new to stalker

and i know all of the games and their sttory and all of that stuff

[finite dragon]

The thing with Anomaly is, that majority of it's fanbase thinks it's a canonical game and haven't even played 3 original games

[amber stone]

but the games need some tweakss

[knotty sedge]

not really

they very playable with no mods

except for CS

[amber stone]

weapons

[knotty sedge]

SRP ftw

[half glade]

Ur mom

[amber stone]

PFFFT

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

You might wanna try without mods. If the bugs are too annoying, install mods or even stop playing altogether, do what you like. But I think it’s worth giving vanilla a try. You might find out that the bugs are nothing to be worried about.

[half glade]

Die

Hi guys!

Can anyone tell me about the STALKER 2 Reatail preorder for the US?

I just need some details, I finally have enough money to purchase the Collector's Edition eeeeee

[static compass]

It's not out yet

[remote crow]

Rip do you know when?

[static compass]

Probably some time in the next month considering the game is less than 125 days from launch

[remote crow]

Awesome!

[coarse reef]

unless it gets delayed

[still ridge]

It’s not getting delayed lol

[remote crow]

I need that preorder, even if it means destruction of my city

[gusty trench]

More translations soon.

[still ridge]

@finite dragon you hear???

[lime plume]

i tought stalker 2 will get coop?

steam says singleplayer only

[coarse reef]

coop wont be a part of the game

but i'm sure it will get modded in at some point

[lime plume]

but am i wrong or did they anounced it first?

maybe im just confused

[coarse reef]

they didn't afaik

[lime plume]

Okay! cheers

[coarse reef]

it seems to be in quite a high demand so i'd imagine people will mod it in

[tired anvil]

No, it will not. It will have MP, but no coop

Oh whoops internet lagged, glad someone else answered

[lime plume]

multiplayer then? in what way?

[tired anvil]

Probably like the trilogy

Who knows

[coarse reef]

tarkov but with artifacts

jk idk

[tired anvil]

Survarium exists for that

[modest current]

You just described the perfect game

[static compass]

I would assume team deathmatch and free for all in sectioned off parts of the map oh, I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere

Could be wrong

[still ridge]

Yeah deathmatch is the most realistic outcome

[winter tusk]

[soft ice]

They shouldve added coop. But maybe its better not if a good coop mod releases

[static compass]

I'm not really a fan of coop in games where you have to make choices, but a mod would be cool, I saw they said something about mods for console in the future, hope that happens

[vagrant anvil]

why though, the best was always the rus VO's 😆

or if you mean txt then cool 👍

[tulip maple]

I want to know if I can change barrels on guns to make them shorter or longer

[static compass]

I saw somewhere you can make on the fly attachments like sights and suppressors, but if you want bigger modifications you'll have to take them to a vendor

Doesn't really answer your question but I thought it was relevant lol

[tulip maple]

@static compass I just want to make a g36c

[static compass]

They showed a gun in a trailer that vaguely resembled a g36

[tulip maple]

That the full size

I want the carbine version with the shorter Barrel@static compass

[static compass]

I'll sure you'll be able to mod the barrel, they said each weapon would have customization

[tulip maple]

Sweet I hope so I just spent 120 on stalker 2

For xbox

[static compass]

Lol nice, I'm gonna try to get that big one

[tulip maple]

I just want to play it already

[static compass]

Same

[tulip maple]

Even a demo

[static compass]

I want more gameplay showing mutant combat

Gimme snorks

[tulip maple]

Me to

@static compass I saw the YouTube video of them on the range i a saw a g36c

[static compass]

They also had an aug but they said not every gun you saw there would be in the game

[tulip maple]

Man that would be alot of guns

[waxen crypt]

Any tips for a new player?

[tulip maple]

@static compass that would be alot alot of gun to add everything

[static compass]

That's why they aren't using every gun they used on the range lol

I kinda want to see some melee weapons as well

[tulip maple]

@waxen crypt dont go in to high lvl stuff tell u are geared right

@static compass o me to

@waxen crypt and dont pick fights unless u know ur going to win them

Because I'm pretty sure you don't want to bring a pistol into a full auto situation where you're the one with pistol and the rest of the people that you're fighting up against are known as AI have Full Auto

@waxen crypt

And stalker games are not fair you will die

[waxen crypt]

Do you start out with just a pistol (I’m bad and can’t get pass the first mission in SoC)

[tulip maple]

Yeah you start out with a pistol far as I know with the new game was Starker to button The Originals you start out with a pistol and you work your way up you can get shotguns rifles for auto snipers and the legendary gauss rifle

It's not like your typical like Destiny or Halo or nemmo this is a complete Survival game and horror

My suggestion to you if you really want to get into the stalker series go watch some YouTube clips of stalker

[static compass]

I know anomalous dugout has guides

[waxen crypt]

Ok. I’m hoping to get good at this game so I can have a game that I’m good at that my friends and family aren’t

[tulip maple]

Yeah what nuke fox said definitely go check him out go check out a couple of other people that do stalker stuff and watch how many times people die that's how brutal this game is this makes Dark Souls or Demon's Souls or any of the stuff that like that look like Child's Play

This game is definitely unforgivable and definitely is brutal

Even on the lowest setting even on easy mode it is still brutal

I don't know how many times I've beaten all the stalker's including the mods it is nothing nice is very very fast and very open-world now I can't wait to play the new one it's been 15 years now that we've been waiting for this game to come out

@static compass right brought this game is definitely unforgivable and brutal

[waxen crypt]

Will do and hopefully I can call Stalker my domain (or should I say zone) to my friends

[tulip maple]

Yes we called the zone it is very fun I can be very brutal at times and can be rewarding or you could be screwed what I want to know is how does the inside of reactor 4 look like now

[static compass]

I'm just ready for Stalker 2, I hope it's not too buggy at launch

[tulip maple]

That's the one thing I want to see the inside of reactor number for Four Chernobyl with the new attempts good graphics now yeah that too I hope it's not like the original stalker series really buggy and really messed up

@waxen crypt if you want to know something go look at the history of the stalker series

[waxen crypt]

Tbh. When I watch the opening cutscene for SoC. It looked really good for a game that came out in 2007

[tulip maple]

It covers everything without spoiling it if you want to watch the gameplay of The Originals go ahead and just spoil yourself I've beaten them and they are very fun games very fun and I like the brutal punishment it is awesome to get your ass handed to go do a word that enemy come from

Yeah it's it's pretty good the graphics are pretty good for an older game 15 years ago I mean I enjoy it I don't care about the graphics I want to see the new graphics with the interior of the reactor 4 and see what the Cavs did compared to the original

@waxen crypt I'll send you some YouTube links and stuff I'm pretty sure@static compass can do the same

[waxen crypt]

Cool. Thx

[tulip maple]

The only thing I'm going to tell you is don't get were you don't want to play it play it there's a lot of people to get intimidated by the series don't get intimidated

@waxen crypt here I'll dm u

[waxen crypt]

I’m a little bit intimidated. Not by the game itself. By somewhat the community ( as of most games) I don’t wanna look like a jackass noob

[tulip maple]

Check your messages watch that and then go watch the anomaly play through by anyone on YouTube and you'll get the gist of idea I mean it's not just that one anyone that plays through clear sky Shadows of Chernobyl with just any of the games in the franchise

[waxen crypt]

Luckily people have been nice so far

[tulip maple]

We are I don't speak as the community but the more that you know about the series and the franchise and stuff like that and playing the original games no one's going to look down on you just because you haven't played a single one but if I were you I would want to do some catching up and watch all the game playthrough do you understand what's going on with the new game

She trying to get a little bit of a jest of what's going on

@waxen crypt

@static compass hey you think we can help gray wizard out to get him up to speed before stalker 2 comes out

I sent him the documentary of the stalker series

[static compass]

Seems like that would do the job

[tulip maple]

Yeah that's something that if he really wants to get into it we need will give him some playthroughs and stuff of each one and then he can make his decision

@waxen crypt one thing I can tell you is just go through playthroughs of all three of them and then anomaly it doesn't matter you can watch it with commentary or not with commentary just pick a YouTuber you want to watch that you think you'll like and go from there

@static compass you think that's some pretty good advice

[static compass]

Every game is on sale right now I think

[tulip maple]

What off steam

[static compass]

Good enough for me, wikipedia is your best friend for lore lol

[static compass]

Ye

[waxen crypt]

I got the bundle for it

[tulip maple]

@waxen crypt yeah like Nuke fox said look at Wikipedia read the war look up YouTube videos on the lore
