in CS there was smth named "UN" which people went to call ISG but the latter was never used by GSC afaik. They were a scientist squad which Scar led through Generator (do not confuse with Generators)

Well

#

I can’t say I wasn’t expecting a delay

#

Hopefully it won’t be caught in dev hell like the first game

#

We don’t need another cyberpunk 2077 on our hands

#

Maybe the zone favor us

I hope so

A rushed game is always terrible, a delayed game is eventually terrible. I hate video games

Hello jidroni

finite dragon

How much?

finite dragon
#

anything lower than 1920

sharp plank
#

Gonna be real with you all, but I’m starting to fear for STALKER 2. I mean the latest trends with delayed games have been... unacceptable.

Not to mention, most footage shown from the game while does look good, does not represent the gameplay. Or at least an extended view of it. Most announcements have been holiday greetings or concept art, ( minus the few rare ingame pictures that in my option look a bit too high-end for STALKER 2 as a Open-world Game ).

I think at least a basic look at combat with the HUD elements for a video wouldn’t be too bad. Nothing spoilers of course.

exotic hamlet
#

Of course The Guardian called STALKER 2 a post-apocalyptic shooter, lol

dusk oasis
#

But I do wholeheartedly agree with you

sharp plank
#

You know, the best footage to show off combat is to show it as how you would play STALKER. As in, you can physically tell a player is playing it with the amount of jumping they do to avoid bullets.

#

But cinematic is fine if done correctly.

lucid elm
#

Nobody better complain about the postponement

dusk oasis
ripe rain
#

They just need more time to remove all NFT elements and Meta universe code from game. Be patient. feels_good_stalk

#

im gonna play stalker call of pripyat using reshader mod

dusk oasis
#

Okay

finite dragon
#

and call it chernobylite 😎

#

devs could have just announced release date when game is 100% finished. Simple as that. Announced too soon, unexpected delay and lose customer's trust

#

sorry if nobody asked

dusk oasis
#

Does anyone know when lost alpha + gunslinger is supposed to come out?

finite dragon
#

I guess asking them to announce when game is actually finished is too much for them

dusk oasis
#

Kind of a cynical take tbh

#

Honestly I think GSC was just super excited about the project and got ahead of themselves

#

I could just be naive tho

fluid abyss
#

or marketing team is a separate group of people than the dev team

#

and marketing team is big dumb

#

idk tho

dusk oasis
#

That's probably it

finite dragon
#

yeah, kinda cynical. But I accept the fact that company has to care about money to ensure project's completion. But that doesn't mean they do that in a way to lose trust of customers

dusk oasis
#

Yeah it's better to be skeptical of it than optimistic, I wish I was thinking like you tbh

#

There's just no way that I can put GSC in the same category as DICE and CDPR, I have complete faith in them to put out a good product

finite dragon
#

cyberpunk 2077 delayed several times, and people quoted Shigeru Miyamoto: "Delayed game is eventually good". Turns out the game is still bad

#

ironic

fluid abyss
#

game suffers from main character syndrome

#

after a while EVERYONE knows who you are and you're the hero and all that

#

though if you forget to do an early mission and you do it its like people barely do

#

plus I can't complete the game cuz the tank I want to ride in the end spawns several kilometers underground

dusk oasis
#

Most AAA games are just power fantasies, that's where stalker stands out from the rest

finite dragon
#

@dusk oasis I hope your trust won't be destroyed when Stalker 2 is out. I don't trust companies no matter how "good, kind, virtuous, and customer-friendly" they are

#

"virtuous" CDPR got trust from fans, then ruined trust

dusk oasis
#

Excellent point there actually

#

Because of the Witcher series they were one of the most revered studious, now they're a laughing stock

fluid abyss
#

stalker be like: "not a headshot? do not care"

finite dragon
#

i have a mod idea for stalker, but i dont know how to mod and dont think i would have time to make it happen even if i could, so im gonna put out a reccomendation if anyone wants to give it a go, what if in a mod, the disaster is worst than fault, and the zone stretches all the way from poland to kazakhstan, and from finland to the southern caucuses and even parts of the balkans? with a whole lot more factions, and even things that hint towards the politics of the zone, for example islamist extremism in the caucuses?

Sad to hear about the delay. But I hope they can use the time wisely and stay away from western media outlets offering "input". 2022 is going to be a boring year. I literally didn't care about anything else save Callisto Protocol and I think that's 2023.

Tbh, the delays make me a little less nervous. We were 3 months away from the planned release date, and GSC didn't give us any real gameplay footage. Only supposed screenshots and scripted in-game engine cinematic

#

One of the main selling points of the games for me was that they weren't set in a post-apocalypse.

#

Only other game set in a "Localized Post-Apocalypse" (that isn't just an active warzone) that I can think of is Escape from Tarkov, but even that came out over a decade after ShoC and isn't really the same thing.

delicate sparrow
#

relatively isn't it kinda post apocalypse?

finite dragon
#

postapo doesnt have to be a global catastrophe.

delicate sparrow
#

even though the world isn't like the zone, you never really see any of it, so it doesn't matter, the place you play in is very apocalyptic.

grand pendant
#

yea, it's 50% post-apo

exotic hamlet
#

Apocalyptic, by definition, requires that all of human society has fallen apart or been destroyed to some degree.

grand pendant
#

which definition, because apocalypsis literally means "revelation"

solid dome

Again, I feel like it's mostly irrelevant. Most people aren't looking that deep. The gameplay, characters, mutants, locations, are all "Post Apocalypse"

Remember, the world of STALKER is based on what people in 2002 thought 2012-14 was going to look like.

solid dome
#

It's still there, no matter if functional or not

finite dragon
#

didnt said its not there anymore

solid dome
#

Had*

#

As if it's gone already

#

Poof, suddenly out for scrap in downtown Rio De Janeiro

exotic hamlet
#

There's a lot of technology in STALKER that isn't even possible today, such as artifact detectors, exo-suits, and suits that can keep you 100% safe from radiation.

#

A lot scientific phenomena that can't happen in real life takes place in STALKER. Artefacts, anomalies, portals, mutants, etc.

grand pendant
finite dragon
#

yes because stalker takes place in modern world so obv duga is in ua teritory nowdays

#

maybe such suits would be op

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

Let's not argue over the use of Has and Had, aye

exotic hamlet
#

You would have to wear layers of concrete and lead to protect yourself fully from radiological emissions.

finite dragon
#

then proper sentence would be "has been used for"

solid dome
exotic hamlet
#

And that's just your clothes. You would need a shielded oxygen tank to protect your lungs as well.

i thought ecologists have 100% protection from radiation

grand pendant
#

they don't

solid dome
#

Slyth stands correct

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

Dialogue explicitly says suits degrade over time

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

Even Sakharov tells you that

exotic hamlet
#

Things like the SEVA, Ecologist, and even an upgraded Sunrise-gasmask combo still protect you far better than anything you can wear in real life, though.

solid dome
#

This goes beyond the galaxy

grand pendant
#

a sunrise-gasmask is terrible lmao

solid dome
#

You can't go on about saying such thing

#

It's more like apples vs oranges talk, Cleats

grand pendant
#

unless you have a closed cycle respiratory module and an airthight suot, you're not going anywhere in stalker

#

gameplay is obviously dumbed down

exotic hamlet
#

Way better than the plastic sheets with lead plates around the groin and head that you're limited to in real life.

solid dome
#

Wait until ST2 turns out to have some realistic elements

#

Those experts out there will butcher it to pieces

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

Sometimes I'm not even sure what's the perfect "sequel" for some people

exotic hamlet
#

Micrograms of chemicals or components from healing artifacts so the medkit actually heals you rather than simply patch up your wounds and leave you to recover over the next 2 weeks.

grand pendant
#

alright, no bro

exotic hamlet
#

Here comes the essay.

grand pendant
#

the medkit used in stalker is usually an aptechka civilian issued (red one) the only thing you use from there is the morphine to keep you going, which is also why it shouldn't stop the bleeding (it doesn't in CS)

solid dome
#

Here comes the intense wall of text

glad temple
grand pendant
#

there's no artifact technology on them, in fact, they are pretty old

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

Cleats means you don't need to lay low, put a needle in your arm, get that transparent liquid inside your veins, drink water

#

Cause if that happens in the middle of a field full of mutants...

#

That feel when ST2 has the healing animations found in Crap Cry 5/6

#

It may have it

#

After all it's a modern thing

exotic hamlet
#

I think consumable animations add a lot to a game if they're done well

exotic hamlet
solid dome
#

That term is still used nowadays in some countries, sir

#

And it's literally an aptechka

#

Old school style

grand pendant
#

well aptechka means medkit

solid dome
#

Literally

grand pendant
#

call them ai-2 if you want, doesn't matter that much

civic drift
#

HEFSGuraNotLikeHAAAAAAAA I meant that they are based off a old medical kit mass produced during the 70s and 80s. Theres a video of a dude swimming in a pile of these in a tunnel though which is pretty funny.

exotic hamlet
#

And I say based on them because the real AI-2 had drugs for radiation and toxicity poisoning as well, but it doesn't help with that in the games.

solid dome
exotic hamlet
#

Unless you use the scientific one is which is obviously a new production

#

That's another thing, drugs that can just wipe radiation from your body aren't a thing in real life.

solid dome
#

You're a bit wrong

#

It's called wine

civic drift
#

lol

solid dome
exotic hamlet
#

You can only urinate so many particles out of your system but it hardly makes a difference.

solid dome
#

Wine is self-explanatory and its effect for soft radiation poisoning

exotic hamlet
#

It might help if the radiation poisoning you contracted was solely through eating or drinking something that was physically contaminated.

#

But if you stand near a block of Uranium or get blasted with rays from a haywire X-Ray machine, there's nothing you can do but wait and hope you didn't contract enough radiation to melt you alive.

solid dome
#

Nobody here lived close enough to the catastrophe to feel the possible danger for his health or even suffered somehow, I think

grand pendant
#

tell the guy who put his head in a particle accelerator to drink wine

exotic hamlet
#

And even if you survive, you'll have to live in paranoia of cancer for the rest of your life.

solid dome
#

I doubt people who literally were part of the suffering are playing videogames, to know exactly what is better, worse or whatever

exotic hamlet
#

Vastly increased paranoia*

#

As I was saying though, drugs/compounds that can just "neutralize" radiation in your body don't exist.

prisma lark
#

Bros are we really arguing about realism in stalker!?

solid dome
#

Some people seek realism

exotic hamlet
#

We're discussing the sci-fi elements.

solid dome
#

Can't blame em

#

Surreal realism is best consumed when not being serious

exotic hamlet
#

I get that STALKER is just a game set in a fictional universe, but it's fun to justify and explain things in my opinion.

grand pendant
#

people who want realism in games are ignorants of magic realism which is what is used in games

solid dome
#

People who want realism are looking for it at the wrong place, my own take @grand pendant

grand pendant
#

jesus i sounded like such an ego maniac nerd

exotic hamlet
#

It's not so much realism but justification.

#

Consistency, that sort of thing.

solid dome
#

Bruh

#

That word would be unknown to people who glorify Call of Crappy or those other commercial trash products

#

Too bad a lot of people will start thinking of ST2 to be some sort of arcade shooter

#

Lol

#

I can see it coming

exotic hamlet
#

If something is explained in the fictional boundaries of a universe, then it makes things more believable while you're experiencing it. Yes, it will always will be a fictional universe with things that are simply not possible, but if explanations found within the medium are good, it makes it more impactful.

Honestly, having such a mindset nowadays makes you...

Let's say, people start calling you crazy

#

No, I don't use that word

#

Nah, you wanna call me autistic.

That word belongs to teenagers having no understanding of its meaning

exotic hamlet
#

I know you do.

solid dome
#

I'm not 15 years old, eh

exotic hamlet
#

Me neither, but you can go ahead and say it.

solid dome
#

Albeit I won't, cause it isn't part of my dictionary

#

I was saying common sense nowadays isn't seen as... common sense

#

It's seen as something bad

exotic hamlet
#

So, help me understand this... You're trying to stop me from having common sense?

# dusk oasis Elaborate

Realism has to be there. Real weapon names, real ballistics, real locations, real tree leafs... realism everything. Or just get good - tens of thousands of insults follow

  • People who never ever touched Stalker before
dusk oasis
#

I wouldn't be surprised if accurate weapons and ballistics are a part of it

#

At least semi-accurate

#

Because having that aspect keeps the experience grounded

solid dome
#

Semi accurate, sure

dusk oasis
#

Because while stalker is a not realistic game

#

How do I put it

solid dome
#

Fully accurate would leave no room to make the game relatively challenging

dusk oasis
#

The Zone and everything

#

Despite that, the game feels grounded and gritty

solid dome
#

Plus, no need for that much of weapon realism

dusk oasis
#

I'm sure the devs prioritize creative control over realism

#

Gauss gun for instance

solid dome
#

Anyone seeks such, obtain a license to use firearm and hit the shooting range

solid dome
dusk oasis
#

Ever since MW2019 came out, everyone expects every single shooter to be like it

solid dome
#

I'm staying out of that

dusk oasis
#

And granted, many shooters are trying to replicate it, but that formula doesn't always make sense

solid dome
#

Last person on earth to talk Call of Crap with, albeit I have a nickname inspired by a character in the series (the Zak one, not the current)

dusk oasis
#

People just have different ideas of what realism means

#

For some it's graphical fidelity, others it's details/accuracy

#

Stalker will do fine, and 1:1 gun accuracy should be the least of people's worries

so it'd be a better option

what would you recommend upgrading first

exotic hamlet

Yes. By far. $650 for that is a steal

I would definitely upgrade the CPU

i was thinking upgrade to to a ryzen 5 5600x

because after all it is a rx 580 and anything higher would probably bottleneck

finite dragon
# finite dragon guys, ever wonder why graphic cards now is a high price?

pretty much

3000 series drop
scalpers started buying them out and sellling them for a much higher price
bitcoin miners buy these cpu's they run out so they buy other cpu's so by supply and demand the prices go higher

this leads to the companies making them 2-3x+ msrp (base value) to somehow someway have to compete with the scalpers and this it what we have today

#

hmm...the problem is my pc is its prebuild

exotic hamlet

#

the only reason i would buy a radeon card over a nvidia is because of amd radeon settings,and at a lower cost ofc
