You're what I call average DOTA enjoyer
DOTA and enjoy can't be put in a single sentance
I've Ran into another issue
So I accidentally quicksaved while severely bleeding to death and that's my only save file
What do
Spam medkits and from now on make hard saves for milestones @finite dragon
I have no medkits
What game
Clear sky
Rip
What do
Don't you have other saves
Nope
Hello gentlemen
Hello
Absolutely nothing health related other than some radiation epi pens
open console stop time
Is that possible
You're screwed. Make mile stone hard saves
How do I do that
Thanks. When are u done exactly?
yeah cant remember the command for it tho
Shieeet
Soon, brother.
Doesn't work in vanilla
Anomaly
Mod
there are mods that give you god mod trainers and stuff
Fug
It's almost close to the end.

Nice. Thx!
There is a cheat menu you could downloaded @finite dragon
Send link if you can
If you REALLY want to save your game
I don't have the patience to replay the whole story and I was really looking forward to clear sky
i just witnessed a pseudogiant battle 3 pseudodogs for 5 minutes and lose
cheat menu is the way
I was on the whole Defend the science lab from the zombies task and ended up bleeding to death
Hate how zombies got buffed, I remember 2 or 3 shots taking them down in CoP and SoC
gotta stack up to that 1000 bandages stack lol
@finite dragon https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-clear-sky/downloads/helios-spawn-menu-mod-1-3 i think it was this one
Check the read me file lol
I mean to be fair, my german shepard is probably smart enough to torrent
big chungus
embed fail
its pretty easy, but im new to gaming and whatnot on pc
I don't know where to buy the deluxe physical version of stalker where can I find it
Cool cool
Check your local retailers or #🖤┃s2-pre-order
Only the Xbox versions and standard only
I need PC
Like i said. Ask your local retailers via phone or mail
Installed the mod and stuck it in the folder
Let's hope I can find a way to change the cheat menu keybind because my F keys aren't bound to anything but the main purpose of them on the computer
And I'm not sure how to bind them
Bind your normal keys?
Not sure how
The cheat menu should be a separate section
You could acess while pausing the game
With F2 i think
Yeah, I have the game paused and clicked F2 but the issue is that my F keys don't respond to games for some reason, f2 would only lower my volume
do you have fn key on
Fn?
some keyboards have em
I have an fn key yes
hold it in so it turns off or something then you can use f keys
👍
Lets just hope I can get these bandages in the Menu before my character dies from blood loss
Which takes like 5 seconds
Health low and gay
speedrun moment
Cheat menu speedrun
%
Do you think the absolute nature redux for coc would be compatible with anomaly
Because absolute nature looks a lot better than anomaly
@finite dragon Keep an eye out for these. You'll be wasting a lot less resources
these guys are a MUST
mamas beads :
Cheat Menu isn't reacting to my clicks
not embed fail, vat
I love STALKER but at the same time I hate STALKER
One of my biggest joys and at the same time one of my biggest frusterations
i wonder how many times im gonna use f5 in stalker 2 lol
probably alot since i can only play stalker on master diff
ive never really understood the hard save thing
doesnt quicksave save just as good or?
you dont have to go into any menu either
quick save only makes 1 save
....
not true
if you get into a soft lock you're in the poop
it's not Anomaly
you cant have multiple saves in vanilla?
huh i thought i remembered quicksaving with multiple quicksaves
some fire memes in #🤨┃stalker_memes ngl
I swear zombies are attacking the science bunker every 5 seconds
[Translation of the interview of Zakhar Bocharov (by nevajno1kto)] 
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=442
- How many people work in the company now?
- If we count the freelancers too - more than 300.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=451- Lately, there are more rumors about GSC's rapid staff turnover. And almost every two weeks somebody lefts the company and somebody joins the company. Can you confirm or deny it?
- Without a doubt there are some amount of people, who end their work. It's normal on the whole and typical for any place of work. Sometimes people leave the company, especially in the big teams with 300+ people as I mentioned. Amount of people, who leave it, no more than people, who join it. I can't say about high staff turnover, which is above normal, in the company.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=490
- There's a rumor in the internet, it says that GSC fires everybody, who ends up their work. For example, there's a model maker. He finishes his models and he's no longer needed. The company fires him. Is it true?
- It's not the full rumor. Rumors also say that watchful HR managers of 4A take those people in their team. And also that people, who finish their work are very unqualified. It was supposed to show the absurdity of those rumors, because what is the point of picking up people, who got kicked from the other company. Nevertheless. Not a single normal company with normal working conditions does that in 2022.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=543
- About 4A games... At the end of 2021, the lead narrative designer Sergey Ten left the company. He left the company for 4A Games, which is, from the words of Glukhovsky, busy making a new Metro game. Sergey wasn't the only one, who left the company for 4A Games. And not the only lead narrative designer as well. It give the impression that people come to you, get experienced and then leave you for a company, which consistently produces games. Is this really how it is?
- I think it is a very local example. And we are talking about Sergey. A big amount of people is no longer with us. Sergey actually worked and actually left us for 4A. Now, by the way, if we take into account Sergey's Facebook account, which is public, he ended up working in 4A. An he worked there even less than in GSC. Despite the fact that it's should have been said to Sergey, I understand why there's a question about that. But looks like it is inherent in people to change their place of work, do something, find themselves challenges and hobbies. I think that's what happened.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=631
- The point is. He was the lead narrative designer. So it means that the lead developers leave the company, but you say that everything is, generally speaking, good. But when the lead developers leave the company one year before the end of game's development. It's disturbing.
- It's absolutely normal human psychology. There are different requests for work. Beside Sergey, there are 30 narrative designers. But there are also screenwriters. A big company works on the plot. The fact that Sergey left is his own choice.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=795
- What do you do in GSC Game World? I mean, Community Managers answer the questions of fans, we understand it, but what are the duties of the PR manager?
- PR is a connection between the company and the public. But if Community Managers talk to the audience, PR manager talks to influencers, bloggers, streamers, press and partners of a different kind. I really tried to answer to the messages people wrote to my DMs in big amounts when I only started working and had an easier schedule. I just wasn't loaded with tasks that much, but I try to do that from time to time. <...> Due to specific of work I sometimes get into the zone, where I can work with new ideas. I have an idea in mind if there's a partner to realize that. I contact with him and talk about that. And if it's possible and suits everybody I try to make that idea come true. <...> So... what do I do is a question asked by my bosses, it's a joke, I do the PR and partly business development.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=880
- Support for communication with players is good. From the words of CMs we can find out something new and interesting about the game. And players share the screenshots of your answers in social network and sometimes we witness strange questions with strange answers. For example. This screenshot. What is more cringe? The fact that such questions are asked by the fans or the fact that those questions get official answers?
- I see the screenshot for the first time. I haven't seen him before. I know that the guys try very hard to answer the maximum questions possible. All I see is a try to devotedly get the job done. It means answer the questions even if they are... To be honest It's not even that insulting. I think they don't answer to the insulting questions. It's not as insulting but... You see it yourself... In short, I think that it's a try to get the job done well. In this way, I have a lot of respect to my coworkers for it. <...>
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=964
- During the development of S2 you invited DKUD. But at the moment when he joined the company he was a newbie and didn't take part in the development of the triple A project. So there's a very interesting question. How he caught your attention?
- DKUD is a very talented guy. It's enough to visit his channel and watch his videos. Overall, he understands what Stalker is and he knows how to make the videos on a good level. If you look into the comments, you'll see a lot of commentaries: GSC pay attention to him, he tries very hard, he's very good. So, we did. We literally did what the commentators supposed. We talked. It figured out that he matches, he was also interested in it. He works with great enthusiasm in the team, that's true.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=1023
- Some people think that it was a way to get extra loyality points from the fans of the game. And it's the only reason of why did you hire him. Something like. Look. We invited a guy from the people's masses to take part in the game's development. Isn't that cool. Are these people right?
- I think it's not the most efficient way to get points of respect from the audience. I think publishing a trailer or a screenshot gets us much more of them.
- Screenshots weren't part of our deal...
- Screenshots weren't part of a deal. In short, I mean that it's definitely nice to give a person a chance. And that's cool. But the idea is... the choice wasn't based on getting the points of respect from the audience. Especially, let's be honest, not all people know about DKUD.
https://youtu.be/z77d5Jq8I2I?list=TLPQMjQwMTIwMjLSdwDFHGkQqA&t=1089
- Do developers play Stalker mods and do they like fan creations. Be honest.
- The answer is very simple. Yes, developers do play them. Yes, developers do like them. There are literally people, who work in the company and used to make mods for Stalker.
- Can you tell which mods they worked on? Is it Narodnaya Solyanka? Shadow of Stink? F.O.T.O.G.RA.F? Or is it something else we don't expect?
- I won't name them, because people have their favourite mods. Firstly, mods can be complex, they can change many aspects of the game. There's a risk that if I name the mod and it's not somebody's favourite mod, a decision will be made that S2 will be like that mod a fan doesn't like. It's not the right decision. That's because I won't tell the correct names due to respect to the mod makers, too. Not we (as a company representative), but I won't name them, I take the responsibility. But it's a fact that people, who made mods for Stalker, work in the company.

I hate MEE6.
thanks, very interesting interview
from what nevajno kto said, part 2 is mainly about stalker 2
Huh that's interesting
That's not all. Wait for continuation.

guys is there a way to get the precision tools in call of pripyat gunslinger ? the ones that are in jupiter in the house with the lightning anomaly. i noticed that with this specific mod the character does not go from under the pipes
You haven't been home in 2 weeks and here you are on Discord??
I called Doc and he said you were cleaning out his fridge 🤨
i think that you need a card that almost supports DX11 because it runs on a different version of xray
a GTX770 or 1050 for minimum specs are ok i think
good, so it supports DX8
hey you, how are you? Say hello to sidorovich for me,It's been a while since I freed you from the bandit camp lol
Dang so the interview told us basically nothing. Shock 
- Overall development process is on 85% stage - they're solving bugs and realizing some features, that also can be left in dev. docs. The story, open world, locations and voicover - 95% ready. Any plot holes excluded to appear. The game is unlikely to be delayed, if so - only summer 2022 - source: AP PRO
Had saved this in a text file over in my Downloads folder, I've found only now.
Believable?
Sounds like rumour 😄
Summer 22??? That’s before 12/8/22
Must be true considering the mentioned delay
That info is before the delay
Seemingly
Gotta try to track down the AP Pro topic
Sounds like rumors. That’s a lot of hard numbers being thrown around for a game a year out basically shrug
Sounds logical on another hand
Everything always does
Well the bit about being unlikely to get delayed and only to summer was what we heard as well
but that’s simply due to CMs can and cannot say
Krezz is on a mission - I've been told if I don't track down who's behind the information, I'll be sent to the Monolith.
didnt that "informer" say that everything he said was fake anyway
If you know where that piece of info was dropped exactly....
I heard it was on AP-Pro's forums
im assuming its this article, and yes, its confirmed as fake
Where do i talk not stalker stuff
Just don't be a Polish
Or at least don't say that you are
Otherwise you'll get bullied hard af

Damnit, forgot that gifs aren't working here 
I honestly don't know why they just won't enable gifs here
They are enabled in offtops so they might as well get enabled in these channels too

You have a laptop?
that too used laptop with intel HD graphic for 10 years until last year where i got used PC from friend and bought the gtx 650 to atleast have better fps lol
but this year i should build my own PC hopefully
😎
Ily
Gay
Meanwhile i bought my PSU and case
Last upgrade will be the GPU

Same. Just got the O11 Evo and am looking at a 1200watt PSU since these RTX 4000 rumors for power draw are insane
Went through all the trouble to obtain the highest end parts I could get before April launch, now it’s back to square one this fall
Nope



yeah same for me the prices of GPUs are insane and i am afraid they won't drop down in here even if they got better situation in the rest of the world
best armor in shadow of chernobyl?
That’s gonna cost a lot tho
Im waiting for prices to go down personally
i mean i still have to save up several months so
Yes
I got a 750 one, the NXZT elite
I’m upgrading from a H700. Decent case. Best way to do airflow is brute force with noctuas
Seva is pretty cool
General rule for NZXTs
No. Definitely not enough
Wtf?
RTX3 series go through dramatic power peak usage.
3080 minimum needed is a 850watt
I wouldn’t even trust that. I’ve heard of 3080’s peaking and causing issue on 850. 1000 watt is the move
But with the rumors of 4-600 watts for 4000 cards on the high end 1200 seemed like the safe spot
You would be ok with a 3070 though. 100 watt less than a 3080
They’re wrong. I’ve seen it first hand lol
As long as you don't overclock
System reboots, etc.
I doubt that
The quality of the PSU is paramount. Bronze is a no go. Gold is much better
But 750 is just way too low. Unless you got a low wattage CPU
In fact i do have a gold efficiency one
Ryzen 5 Zen 3
The PSU won’t last. Especially with a 3080ti. That’s way overboard for that PSU
Nvidia themselves recommend 850 minimum for 3080
But building a pc that can run stalker 2 will cost maybe 3k
Model?
350tdp for a 3080. That’s almost half of your PSU just on the GPU at peak wattage
They say 750w lol even for the 3080Ti
Lol noooooo way. Just no
I told you, Zen 3, it's 5600x
That’s how you run into mad power issues
5600x then. Good chip.
Manufacture recommended call outs are usually garbage though
Rn i have a GTX 1660Ti with a 550W Chinese PSU
Smh I won't even buy a 3080Ti
Could not get the machine stable. Always shutting down or rebooting under game loads
More like a 3080
Gen 10 Intel sucks
Low key facts
Plus, i will run it on 1080p
Bumping the IHS and removing cores for 11 gen was a good idea
The issue was the client was adamant about a small form factor build with ITX and it couldn’t fit an ATX PSU so we had issues getting a big unit in the case
That's why i bought a new case
3080ti in an ITX build was crack logic though lol
not really the build i want to do is right under 1k around 800-900 but ofc thats without GPU so yea maybe in the end.
Lmfao
I could sell you mine
But it's not really worth it
Hang in there. My buddy just scored a 3060 for 500 flat shipped to his door
Even if it's in perfect conditions
If i need a GPU there will be my darling @dire dagger
lol
bruhh
thats nice
Actually, to tell the truth, I could've bought the 850W NZXT one, but i forgor @vernal magnet
@dire dagger Is 750W good enough for a Ryzen 5 5600x and a RTX 3080?
It happens. PSU prices were kind of bad last year anyway
There was a difference of 10€
Dang then you goofed it lol
I could refund it when it comes and order a new one, but i am lazy
I mean probably but id get 1000 or 850 watts
Whatever
there is an 1000 watt psu on amazon atm
by evga
for 130 usd
it's on a super sale
i bought one for a build im working on
I can't order in the American Amazon
Dum
No need
The NZXT one is fully modular
Also, i just need a 3080 or 3070Ti
I want to run STALKER 2 smoothly at 1080p
Not 2 or something else
been wanting to ask this one for a while
is the nimble from CoP and CS the same nimble from SoC?
Yes
Get the 70.
Much more balanced for your build
nice
People seriously underestimate power usage on these new cards. Gonna be a wild awakening when 4000 hits
RTX 6969 is best for stalker 2. It’s going to take all we can throw at it honestly
I can still refund the 750 one and get the 850
I would for the peace of mind. A stabile system is most important
Unreal Engine, more like Eat GPUs Engine
Straight up
Hmm oke
Trust me I wouldn’t recommend it so strongly if it wasn’t exactly what I would do for myself
My cousin just bought an evga 1000 gold for like 100ish bucks. That was a dang good deal
The heat only produces from drawn watts
It doesn’t passively produce any more heat
Evga 1000 G2 gold is 140 right now
That will last you a long time
No need
I ain't rich
Measure twice cut once
the 4090 will probably use 1k watts when overclocked
80ti and 90 already pull crazy power so that wouldn’t even a surprise me if a 4090ti pushed up to 800watts lol
You are already thinking about the next gen, smh
the 4090ti is rumored to have a 800 watt tdp
Dang I was right on the guess lol
This year, almost this gen. My god, has it been more than a year of 3 series already? Dang
Tell to Nvidia to give me a GPU for free, I'll give you a kiss @dire dagger
I need a Raptor Lake chip and an RTX 4080 and then I’m ready for stalker 2 1440p maxed out settings @90fps
No matter what, you won't be able to run EFT smoothly
Until I got my 9900k and 3070 that game ran like ball sweat
Going from 1080ti to 3070 cleared it up…..mostly
In EFT? I had never used it. Must be a newer update.
DLSS in other titles works amazing though
As long as it’s 2.0 or better
I see
once i get my 3dfx voodoo 5 6000 reproduction and my epox board up and running
im gonna start saving money to buy my self a 4090
yes
i might also just buy am5
am5 might be insane
@worthy lagoon like considering that amd tied performance with intel alder lake
by just refreshing there existing cpus

im pretty excited to see what amd will do with a new architecture on an even smaller fab size
zen4 on 5nm
i want to play stalker 2 on this bad boi
Drops it
I said it dropped
Lisa Su is extremely based
Foreal. I got very excited that they moved to an LGA socket
same
@vernal magnet the 5 ghz all core 16 core amd cpu
with overclocking head room
fingers crossed
Btw, have you fixed your hand? @dire dagger
yes i did
my hand is recovering now
Good
Don’t know what happened to it but glad it’s doing better. I’ve had my share of broken bones and issues
i spilled chemicals on my self and it might my skin start cracking and bleeding
Oh damn that sucks…

I will rocc u
There will be the second part of the interview.
part 2?
I will tear you apart MEE6
I wanna do the same.
@ashen axle die
COME ON
I got the idea.
[Translation of the interview of Zakhar Bocharov (by nevajno1kto). Part 2] 
-There is a rumor in the net, which says that there are mostly people without a proper triple A game development experience. It means, not professionals, is it real?
- There are people, whose first job is a job in the GSC. It is a fact. There are also people, who worked a lot on the games. It's a fact too.
- Mostly, according to the rumor, there are newbies in the company. They got hired just to staff the team. Can you confirm or deny that rumor?
- It's not true that only newbies work there. It's not true that it's mostly newbies, too. So it seems, I disprove that. But... There are people in the company, who made games before. There are people in the team, who worked on the popular games before. There are people, for whom it's their first job. I think it's legit everywhere. As for me, It's normal.
@gusty trench

- In the last summer, Poperechniy had an interview with Alisher Morgenshtern. And Alisher claimed that he made a deal with the company that he'll be a tester for Stalker 2. Is it true and is Alisher Morgenshtern connected to GSC Game World?
- If he told that it's true in the eyes of his audience, but actually there was a human misunderstanding. Namely, there was a stage, when we hastened to say him that his offer was accepted by us despite the fact that the suggestion wasn't even sent to us. So when Alisher voiced that in the Poperechniy's interview, he didn't say lies. He had the information he thought is truthful. We didn't get that offer. So we commented on that, as I remember, not publically in DMs about that incident. It's not his nor our fault. It happened.
- When this news spread around the internet. Players met it with hostility. Many of them were ready to cancel the pre-order and were rude about what was going on. I suspect you knew about it. How did you react to such harsh remarks and what do you think about the ones, who write this.
- We listened to harsh remarks not only during a situation with Morgenshtern. So it wasn't an extraordinary situation for us. People were upset. Not all of us are fans of Alisher. Creativity has fans, haters, the ones, who don't care. At times like this you should remember that people write that under the influence of their emotions and they do it in the internet, for sure, and it's not a fact that they would talk like that, conditionally, in real life. We treat it with a degree of leniency... not even leniency, but a grain of understanding and humility, which are required in this situation.
- About a year ago on the Gameinator site, a user named Loxotron announced the sale of the builds and sources of S2 2011 for $15k. CMs said that the company doesn't know anything about that man. But it's impossible not to know about the man, who leaked all the builds of the original games and even first desdocs of Shadow of Chernobyl. Why the answer was this? This guy, Loxotron, is inconvenient for you?
- Are we talking about the screenshot you show? I see the answer from the particular CM. The story about the sale of the old S2 build I do remember. It happened. I know about this story. But, to be honest, I know that I'll get some disrespect, but I heard that Loxotron leaked the builds only from you. I'm unsure if it's the same Loxotron, but I'll admit that it's him. I admit it easily. Frequently, when somebody writes a question to a CM, people can forget that there are more than one of them, a lot more than one. And they don't have one common Hivemind. Every answer has a personal shade. I admit that CM on that screenshot might have not known who Loxotron is.
- Do you have the materials, desdocs or technical documentation of those years related to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 of 2011, which are still actual during the development of the current S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2. And you make sure that those materials won't be leaked into the internet.
- The old materials aren't relevant enough to be used during the development of the updated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The game has been developed from scratch. The game we show. The game we develop. The desdocks, 3D models, materials were made from scratch. According to that, there's no great desire to save those S2 build materials from leaks. I absolutely don't exclude the fact that they might be somewhere saved in one place in the company. But I'm quite not sure. They are really irrelevant in the context of S2 we have been developing, because it's made from scratch. Those materials aren't used.
nuts
- Let's stop for a moment and talk about it in details. In December you showed the Poppy Fields. The Poppy Field was planned in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost as an anomaly. Later it was planned in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 (2011) as an anomaly, too. It also appears in the current version of the game. So you do use the information from the desdocks during the development of the game.
🤯
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which was cancelled, just as current S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 are the continutation of the original trilogy. And some of the ideas, including the ones, which were mentioned by you... as the Poppy Field archi-anomaly... some of the ideas from the past can get into the game developed now separately because they are logical. At the same time, I don't know if the Poppy Field from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost or from the old S2 were supposed to be anomalies. And it's not a fact that anomalies will work as they were planned back then. It's not a fact that the realization will be the same. It's just a separate idea, which will be in the game. But all the concept docs, plot, gameplay, monsters were made from scratch without using old desdocs. It doesn't invalidate the fact that separate ideas can get to S2, which is developed now
- You can download the beta version of 7th patch for Stalker in Steam for several years already, but its faith is unknown. Do you plan to complete the patch to the final version?
- As I know the 7th patch helps with some configurations of errors, which appeared in the last patch. And you can choose it if you have the problems. You choose it, download it and the problem related to... I don't remember the specific configuration... related to it disappears. It looks like that. It's planned that there'll be updates and the remaining things will be fixed. Will there be the patches for the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Absolutely.
damn the interviewer has no chill
- Do you plan to make a Remake or a Remastered version of the OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
- We had that idea. But there are no announces about that yet.
Bonus
Translation of McCulkin's message.
Thanks for asking. After figuring out we can say that XBOX version of the game will eventually have a disk and not just the codes (of the game). But it's just the console version, the PC version will have the codes instead of a disk....
Anomaly 
That would be the worst thing, which happened to GSC.
True
Also thanks Mez for the translation and the info

what is stalker
the fact that the lead narrative designer left is not very reassuring of the state of the game
If they try to make the game like Anomaly it will be like stepping on an AP mine
Procedurally generated quests that complete themselves.
I think it’s gonna be like SOC, and anomaly players who never played the original games are gonna be all whiny about that
I wish it will be like SoC
Yeah
I hope it'll be more like CoP with its handcrafted feel.
We all hope that it will be as good as any of the vanilla games
^
One of the only few S.T.A.L.K.E.R. things where side quests weren't just garbage filler.
If anything, side content in that game is even better than the main quest.
I feel like cop doesn’t have enough content
But the detailed side quests are really cool
Anomaly feels soulless
I never felt this way. The game only feels shorter because there's way less filler, and even the map design reflects on that.
It minimizes travel time.
However, the maps themselves are very densely packed compared to the previous two games.
It's actually a brilliant decision, and I feel like CoP doesn't get enough credit for that.
True.
I absolutely despised the progression curve in Anomaly. I genuinely tried to like the mod, but the early game made me quit.
You can't even do the main quest until you grind the repetitive, boring side quests or do other grindy tasks until you get sufficient gear. The progression curve is not even a curve, because it escalates into sending you to Radar after just a few missions.
Even SoC got it right, and boy is that game jank city ||(still love it, though)||. You don't have to do the side quests if you don't want to.
It's like a game of sandbox, except you have to spend hours in order to get the ability to build one sandcastle.
I'm not going to crap on anyone's parade for liking Anomaly, but I personally gave up.
CHEEKI BREEKI
Long story short, you can only go so far with procedurally generated quests and padding.
And I pray that this isn't the path GSC is going to take.
Or you probably do what everyone else does
Cheat
Yeah, that might honestly be the best shot at even experiencing the main quest.
Because that's how it always end up i bet
Or even better: not play Anomaly.
^
All of this makes me appreciate Fallout 4 even more, though that's a topic for a different place.

oh having sent the msg I'm brought back down and see ur msg now Equo
I started reading from the top so was replying there.
I definitely understand what you mean tbh, and also once you get the ball rolling progression just rockets up
I personally enjoy the grind until I hit exosuit
then I feel way too op and fights grow dull
Thinking about it more, progression might actually be my main problem with Anomaly, along with side content (or lack thereof). It got so many things wrong, from useless early game armors to a bizarre way the main quest unfolds.
... we can't swear?
It's a mix of tiny annoyances that all add up and major issues.
yea, and it just kinda goes from like jackets and small arms to suddenly you're in an exosuit and going to the wish granter, I didn't even realize it was the end so quickly.
I played anomaly on the hardest difficulty with the most difficult progression and still found progression to randomly skyrocket
then it was just farming mono cuz they were free
when I tried to play mono one of the guys with the OP rifle died right in front of me like 5 minutes after starting and I got his gun,,, so idk, it was weird.
Gauss Rifle I think is the name?
my message getting removed and me getting warned says I can't
You’re able to use profanity
Bro Rule 3 moment.
I never got past the hobo stage because there was nothing worthwhile to do. Exploration is actively punished because there's zero valuable loot bundled a risk of anomalies, good artefacts are practically non-existent at the early stages, and every side quest is absolutely devoid of any soul or substance.
Bruh
yeah it kinda bored me when I'd get side quests that entirely revolved around luck based loot that 99/100 times couldn't find in time
ah yes, let me just obtain 1 hydraulic servo drive aplification system (fine-tuning) within a couple in game days,,, easy peasy
or ah yes let me go kill this guy in the red forest who is surrounded by enemies I'm hostile to,,, with a jacket on
What stalker game you playin
We're talkin ab Anomaly rn
O
or better yet, in the first 30 minutes of starting they wanted me to kill a guy in Jupiter
I was military,,, in Cordon.
The repair/crafting system is such dog poo, now that you mention it. 75% of it could be thrown away with no ill effects on the game flow.
I tried to get that mod to work but as soon as I chose my items to spawn in with it crashes so I have up on it lol
Like 2 or so years ago I don’t remember
oh that's odd, never had that issue.
But yeah, the repair and crafting system is so weird that I didn't even bother, I just go to the technician and sell the things I do get for meager cents instead
Yeah I went back to CoC till that bugged and caused double vision for some reason
a bunch of items that I never had any application for, repair and crafting that was dumb and was counter-intuitive
in the other games when you killed people was every weapon almost 0%?
or in some cases, actually 0% durability?
It varies between 50% and 100%, give or take.
Those aren't precise numbers, but most dropped guns aren't broken in the trilogy.
yea, I go and attack military as a bandit,,, every gun is almost destroyed, guns jam constantly.
I think there's precisely one side quest that isn't outright machine-generated, and it's Fanatic's training. Still far from perfect, and it showcases how awful follower AI is.
oh the AI was dreadful, I didn't even bother.
I avoided being near friendly AI, let alone getting followers.
they'd get mad if I had a knife in hand, or had a gun out near them.
It's a miracle Fanatic wasn't eaten by the first dog or boar he ever encountered, because he always dies in the tutorial unless you intervene.
And he shoots like a stormtrooper.
I never got Hip because of possibly the worst designed quest I've ever seen, but I heard she's even more annoying.
(It's a fetch quest where you have to buy the thing you're supposed to be fetching, with zero clues where it actually is.)
yikes
Another garbage quest is the one that you get by talking to the faction leader for the first time (the "how to I get rich" option). Not only does it send you to the ass-end of the Zone most of the time, but the quest itself is along the lines of "bring us 14 tuna cans, and only tuna, because screw other food supplies."
It's baffling how bad it is.
I think there's an even worse variation where you have to fetch the exact guns the quest calls for. Not guns of the same caliber, but just specific ones. In a mod that is bloated to all hell with guns.
Considering this is one of the first things a new player will come across, this is just yikes.
I get that it's not a full-time project with proper funding, but come on.
Is shroud being paid to play STALKER on twitch? I just got banned from his channel for asking if it was sponsored. seems sus
sounds like it based on what you just said
my exact comment was "is this sponsored"
oh my dear sweet baby jesus that was a big tease
and he said to the camera how annoying it is that people think he'd be sponsored to play a 10 year old game lol
thats lovely. i wanted to have a physical disk one way or the other. great news right here
Ngl the way stalker 2 has been coming out with NFTS then the delay
It’s setting off all sorts of red flags
he wasn't even sure what the name of the game is..."isn't chernobyl in this...like isn't that the name?"
well ill be damned he is playing cheeki breeki. thats a first
def not sponsored
It’s cyberpunk/bf2042 all over again
Reason: Bad word usage
F those games
Damn liars
Wtf
I keep getting warnings
Yikes
Looks like the mods are onto us
Stalker 2 cash grab confirmed
Does anyone know any video that explains how to play stalker? I'm new to the series and wanna get immersed in the series
tbh it's better if you find out on your own
Well im also a console player so I got the stalker series on my laptop. I wanna just learn the game so I have an understanding of it. A few things have me confused like anomalies. I guess you can say I wanna just understand the game
Maybe just watch a few videos about the game then. Shouldn't be to hard to find any if you just search for them on youtube.
Is the game confusing at all like anamolies and artifacts? Just curious and yeah I will
Eh, not really. I didn't have too hard of time when I first played.
You should get used to it by yourself. It's not that hard if you start with Shadow of Chernobyl. You get the information you need in your PDA, check its sections.
Ok just was curious I've been playing soc and am at the point where I just got to the bar after stealing the documents from the military base. I was just confused on the point of anamolies and artifacts and if u can ultimately kill them or if throwing bolts is all we can do and the point of throwing bolts
But I'll do that
Anomalies aren't studied enough to be destroyed. All we can do for now - avoid them.
So what's the point of throwing bolts at them? Is there really a point to that?
Yeah, there is. Bolts either activate them or make them more visible for you.
Ok idk what good activating them will do when u can see them already. But if u care to explain I'm all ears but if not It's fine. I'll do what you reccomended. Thank you
Nah, SoC does a good job of acquainting you with all that
@snow fulcrum You use the bolts to see if the path is clear
Some of the anomalies can't be seen unless activated (electrical, f.e.). That's when you use bolts.
what
All of em
SoC first
just wait for discount
and buy full pack
and be sure to join Duty and kill stupid anarchists
when people say stalker fans are not toxic
I regret joining freedom, literal worst faction
join monolith
or the bandits
true, though when the bandits stole 10,000 roubles from me I decided to shoot up their base
bruh
the only viable option
but u will be able to say ANUU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE when u are a bandit
You make a fair point, but will they steal my artefacts before I get to sidorovich’s bunker?
or just roubles
just shoot the bad ones
Fair point
and u will be able to do the drunk dance
bruh epic embed fail
Ok but will I hear the sweet sound of duty propoganda in the morning?
yes in da radio
or while the bandits are too drunk to give 2 shits
yeah and I think one of their technicians can advance my SEVA suit, yes I’m playing first run of clear sky
yeah
so will u give bandits a shot?
I shot up their base they hate me
Maybe another run sometime
lol
Mostly for the SEVA
aah
since like every other technician isn’t drunk enough to do psy-protection
lool
what about carddan
I might check there but like I think they can only go to level 2
ohhh
Maybe shooting up the bandit base was a bad idea after all.. plus the stalkers at the flea market died to a mutant attack
yes
Like, the mutants killed everyone including the technician
yes
so see the bandits can be a good choice

Until I get my max SEVA and a certain underbarrel mount for my AC96/2
bruh
and about the monoliths....
Also in all honesty, who really goes down accuracy? I did it to one of my rifles and I regretted it
Funny rock
yes
u dont need to eat sleep or give 2 shits (WOW that rhymed ) The funny rock will give u all
literal brainwashing
u only need to pray for a while and boom all done
yes like scar if he was brainwashed so can u
bruh
sry for the spoiler
this is my first playthrough on my first stalker game and yes
It’s fine
oh ok
I don’t get it anyways just yet and I’ll just forget it soon
lol
XAXAXAXAA
Anyways I’m going to do what’s against everybody’s morals and ethics here and take a shower
Brb
ok bro
how can i chose roles blin
well i am a monolith now
shroud plays stalker one time and a sudden burst of role-less members appear 
who is shroud
some popular streamer
the reason why most people here don't like him is the slavaboo stuff and overused chik briki memes
lol
but at least he steered you towards a good game
na i have finished cop and a little bit of CS
Not SoC?
ah crap i have forgot that yeah also a bit of Soc its just Strelok trying to find Strelok
You should finish SoC and then Clear Sky
oh ok
i thought since strelok is trying to reach the center before being brainwashed i started to play CS
like from the timeline
Well technically CS takes place before SoC
yes that is the reason
But the best way to play is Soc-CS-CoP
oh ok
CS isn't that beginner friendly
honestly, you do you, just trying to help
np
U should play soc then scp and cop lasty cs 1.6
then FEAR
in cop the lion inside the kindergarden always scared me
it was always a jumpscare
I think worse was the cheburaška in school
thats true
i just remember joining a discord call with a music bot and some guy played "he was a good stalker"
me 1 year later was like "i should give this game a shot"
some people kept talking about stalker in a discord server i used to be in long ago
i went in completely blind into the series
dont regret it
i remember watching local gameshow which was reviewing STALKER just when it came out, i watched it on TV cuz no internet at the time lol
but only got to play it in recent years myself
Hello guys
Hi!
Still no gameplay or anything?
gunslinger mod feels like it takes forever to complete
why cant someone make a decent mod for TRs301?
Nope!
Gunslinger replaced it with ak101
They shouldve done m4
Wait to see what happens with people who try to port it over to ST2 = impossible to begin with
Meant to say the Gunslinger mod, goddamn laptops
is it possible to play stalker with controller?
Eyy Cheburaska is the best orange loving little buddy. Hope he gets a Stalker2 Easter egg
I hope the Misery team is still around. Honestly, I just hope the gameplay translates over well for many of those mods.
I love cokodil genas song on the about blue train
Yessss that song and the birthday song are the best

We gotta watch vrungel adventures bro
yo GSC the only way i can preorder ultimate physical edition is by the end of the year, i apologize homies
also please delay again if it means more content n such
p le ase
The game will be out in 2025 like the first one, 3 years later after the first date
Hey, where can I find the stalker 2 2011 build that I can explore the maps of?
i dont know
Also to add just FIY the anomalies in SoC are pretty easy to see, but once you start playing CS and CoP they're noticably harder to see at times. Also if you start playing Anomaly, due to the lack of an anomaly detector warning (if you don't activate it) anomalies in that mod are MUCH harder to see in some areas, however i HIGHLY recommend you play the original trilogy before diving into that game
Yeah, don’t play anomaly without playing the original games
It’s floating around. I happen to have it myself. Let me know if you get stuck trying to find it and we can figure out a way to get it to you
Maybe google drive or whatever
Thanks man, I found this https://www.dsogaming.com/news/stalker-2-build-2011-has-been-leaked-online/amp/ that links the sdk and patches that you need to run it
Ill download it tonight and try and figure it out
They require passwords as well which I have. Message me if you need the passwords
Oh the google drive needs passwords?
No extracting the zipped S2 contents requires the passwords
Oh
@novel briar January's soon over. December 2024's closing in. Patience.
News are coming, so is winter
Yes, no.
Blergh
Are you one of those theorists from the Agroprom?
Sitting behind the desk in your warm room, chewing chalk!

I'm that one who is asking a questions.
And I don't know about which Agroprom you are talking about.
Questions you ask to the Monolith, not on the internet
Meantime how much of yours got answered properly?
I'm still clocking 0
Reason: Bad word usage
Same, i went on a rampage
NDA times.
Hey you, strelok from the future
how dengerus is agroprom [when under control of military]? [from 1 to 10]
7/10
i gess im going to yantar thru wild teritory
Wild territory is way worse
it goes down from a knife stab
7.5
I am strelok from soc are u strelok from cop ?

Monolith dead faction lets go
insert spiderman pointing at each other meme
i am the cooler strelok anyways
It do be true
lol there is a great meme about it
plus he is a chad in soc cop he got nerfed and cs he has a nice ass when he is runnig away from scar
thats about it ngl
Yo did they update his booty model for CS? I only remember that camera at the end showing Strelok from afar. You got an eye for booty me boi 
my game was broken so he spawned after me
so i get to be closes lmao i was laughing my ass off i tried to knife him as well
Wait i did actually upgrade the cop model of strelok if u uhhhhh want to see
Lay it on me


I finished STALKER: SOC
🙂
why was strelok lay in grass tho
where is the grass at
F

why f lol
It was a hallucination
strelok is a man
and uh he is based
so like he likes to lie in grass
u got a issue
we considering they kept people in there doubt they are radioactive
i mean the cnpp was only used as an energy cource
so peepeepooopoo uh no radioact
Well he had to pass out from somewhere. Him laying on the grass was 100% hallucination
But where did that hallucination itself came from, then?
From balls

Weren't they frozen up there or something tho?
Frozen pie
From what we've seen people in capsules physically couldn't function
Have u ever tried frozen pie do they exist

Well its some piss liquid that they live in
Most likely right
But we know they still get old and brain dead
Cuz they say that
Do you think the sceintis there are bald tho
Most of them probably
Radiation will do that to you
That's sick
Again what makes u think they are radioactive like for gods sake green doesn't mena radtitaition
Nothing denied radiational balding, yeah
Some could be naturally bald even without that
Ogga bogga radiation bad lol grow up
These capsules are literally located in one of the most radiactive place ever. Capsules had to be moved to a safe place to be there obviously
Otherwise they wouldn't be there
There's a high chance that they would've get radioactive while they were moved
Radiation is off the scale even at Sarcophagus alone
Sarkopagus
Scarphophagus
And well u don't actually know where exactly the c bussy is located cuz u use a teleport
So uh skill issue lmao
Teleport is random
It might teleport you to a completely random place
Ending part of SoC is literally an example of that
Well that a skill issue
How many times did main character got teleported to a random place before he finally got to final scene's room?
A LOT
So teleport alone isn't a reliable source
Ye but like again skill issu but uh thay also mean we don't know wher c bussy at doe

In a prev build we knew it was the war labs
But it skibdibaccut out and we don't know now
Builds don't count. Or at least shouldn't
Builds are builds for a reason, hence why they got cut
Literally I said it
All that matters is game's final version
Jezus my uh ye but still cool
YOOOO U DONT SAY THAT
Ye well u stink lmao embers fail
Because he says jiffs and uh pll got mad so they removed it

So scar sucks
My man haven't even said 1 word during the whole story, lmao
Yeah he is too brain dead duh
Hello chat =)
Cringe cyr
Hi
Like cry noe sad cry
what
That's like rude
I think it'd be cool if the next stalker protagonist was a furry

I would control him only to make him burn himself

@half glade Do you fear the mystery of the afterlife? Or the eternal torment that you will receive within it?
Because they arehreya
are you drunk
Skill issue
Answer my question.
You do realize that I was just talking about you, and not me, right?
Yeah again skill issue
So you just admitted that you have a skill issue? Alright 
Ask thay later lmao
No.
I will make Satan my hoe
Have fun with that
I'm sure that'll go well.
Ти никогда ни будиш красивой
американский пожалуйста
Америка фу каку

Я люблю Литва
говори по американски это американский чат
She's drunk
she??
Yes
Я знаю
Это аngлиski чат
:O
then speak it
Don't know English
what is english
Why is English
I only speak american
same
is it normal for artifacts to fly out of anomaly fields
because i just saw one jet out of the boiler anomaly in CoP lmao
artifacts kinda slosh around inside anomalies, so it's not all that impossible for it to accidentally whack directly into the vortex of an anomaly and slingshot away
It would be cool so I could intentionally get him killed every way possible
Get out of here S.T.A.L.K.E.R
the chances that a stalker in full gear is actually a furry
Furries already exist in the Zone thanks to Freedom
Foe of Monolith. To be purged
Technically everyone is a foe of the Monocringe
Furries always were in the Zone. You just have never heard of them before. 
:)
its called Freedom
besides those who aren't based Freedomers immediately get executed by the local bandits
mods delet 
@open lintel
for good reasons im sure
bandits best faction!
Stinky
We already know it isn't
Are there any leaks regarding when we’ll see some gameplay?
December 9th 2022
Don't just stand there, come in here. Tommy is a liar.
It is, in Gamepass 
I personally don't think that counts
Financially intelligent people*
