Oh tru everyone should be rich chads like you duh
I'm living in Southern Europe
I was saying, its MS own way to trick people to love them and their platforms
Which suck
I personally don’t see the conspiracy. Game pass is cheap and you have access to large library of games. It’s popular for a reason. But to each it’s own .
Myself I prefer to pireete a game over getting Gamepass
Guess I'm not the only one, am I?
Ah yes so we do agree
🏴☠️
Sometimes you have to NOT support a company no matter what
And considering MS bought Activision things will get even more greedy

That whole situation sounds like it’ll become a shitshow.

poopooshow
Poopin' heck!
feces
Poopeye, you know
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
A.N.N.O.Y.E.D. 2
I've seen nobody discussing that we'll have a new currency system in ST2 for real
No more rubles!
we'll be using bitcoin in stalker 2 (looking at how the game world looks you can tell that bitcoin became a globally used currency)
Nope
It's confirmed to be some "coupon" type of thing
Coupons....
As if something wrong calling it rubles
Lol
Sidorovich 50% off coupons
No gameplay in seven months
7 staff online, trailer incoming
And people are talking about the currency system

🤫
😳
we do a little trolling
ok mr no fun allowed
I don't have a brain
Yep

@gusty trench
Yeis?


i hope no one in GSC gameworld have to be involved in this type of trainning
Kill your own men before Russia can
most impressive thing in that video is they use iron sight only
And russian guns 
are they supposed to use nato guns then
Guns that they are trained with?
Like the Oldboy case?
Ban the guy here cause he was spreading info somewhere else

no fun allowed here
It’s kind of weird not having people check in every day asking when US retail goes live
Probably cause soon enough it will be one year anniversary since they announced the retail versions anyway xaxaxaxa
me looking at someone crying over the stalker 2 delay
First Time?

saving private Ryan levels of 2004 flashbacks
That latest “interview” was hilarious. Poor Zack getting grilled by that interviewer for any information and what we end up learning and have confirmed is that 4A is working on a new metro game. Lmao
He was grilled?
More like he was executed Samurai style
We ended up learning they knew the E3 trailer was bad but let it out - bugs acknowledged alas it was considered quality showcase

Even GSC knows they do things bad
Y'all should donate to the Ukrainian military
That didn’t bother me at all though. The game is so far out I would expect that jank from a showcase
I'm using my preorder money to do so 
Haha dude was on hot coals the whole time

jank in-trailer confirms good old jank in-game
Yeah scratching himself, drinking a lot
It's as if he was interrogated
Kek
Jank was animations, bad details, etc
That nowhere near good old jank
Poor zak
Poor Grigas for making people do this
I understand the animation and physic jank, but the details were all spot on
The visual fidelity was phenomenal
Hi guys
Details you won't see like that
Similar case with the screenshots
Sure I will. Those visuals are confirmed to just be high spec PC.
This is a UE5 game. The asset streaming is quite effective. Just look at the matrix for a low end implementation on console and see how well it functions
I’m sure that level of fidelity requires a 3080 or better but that does not surprise me in the slightest
I could care less about consoles
Not a fanboy
Though what was shown to be captured in-game has details that don't quite match UE5
Be it 3D objects that aren't real 3D objects but a single texture with normal map on or whatever
I may sound like I'm a graphics wheere but I'm not
did he say he thinks the trailer was bad ?
they knew there were bugs, that doesn't mean its particularly bad, i liked it
Simply saying what I've noticed by observing the screenshots and the trailer, I could care less if the game is having "IRL visuals" - I'm still playing CoP on minimal settings for 2 playthroughs now
Nope but he said they know about the bugs and "they weren't that many" - literally his words
He can't say what he thinks, like his own opinion
That would literally be a reason to fire him
If you're a community manager for a company, you can't really throw your opinion left and right
yep
You haven't watched the interview yet, Mr. Vlad?
I'd have summed up the most important points but since there are a lot of people speaking or understanding russian over here, its pointless
On another hand, you have Mez

Does anyone know why the dead zone creator deleted his mod off moddb and left a really bitchmade comment about how no one wanted his mod?
The translations of it will be today.
Wait for updates.
Mugshot
HEY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A RETAIL EDITION FOR BRAZIL
been dry for news
Sussy
hmm
if February goes by without any news imma be shook
Nope
Nothing new

Indeed
The only news we'll get is that the game will come with a bitcoin miner

I’ll guess we will see something at E3 2022
Let's hope so
GSC Game World PR-manager Zakhar Bocharov admitted that he gave wrong information about the number of people working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. In an interview on the YouTube channel Неважно Кто, he said that 300 people, along with freelancers, work on the game. But back in November 2021, during the survey of GameDev DOU portal for the ranking of gamedev companies in Ukraine, the studio reported that GSC Game World has more than 500 employees. Portal's editorial staff contacted the PR-manager of GSC Game World for clarification. He confirmed that he was "mistaken in numbers" at the time of the interview, and now S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is currently being worked on by over 500 people. Previously, Bocharov spoke at length about the development of the game and said that the release is still scheduled for December. He also commented on the "toxicity" of fans, explained why the release date was postponed, and explained in detail the position on NFT-tokens. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is scheduled for release on December 8, 2022. The game will be released on PC and Xbox Series.
Not suprised about the toxicity part
That's good news
We can say that stalker 2 is not in development hell
Reason: Bad word usage
Yeah, the fans can be toxic as f**k sometimes
Its the Suez Canal situation. Fans blocking the passage and the news can't pass through.
Nobody wants to deliver them by air cause the thing will be taken down immediately for flying without permit

How are fans blocking it
They're pushing towards the source, however they are so much they are already stuck in each other
Think of having 2 boats bump into each other and their nets around
It's spider's web
This is some big brain thinking over here, cant deny
Hey it's pretty good idea for a mini-game in the PDA
Trying to escape Pripyat by boat while Bandits are chasing you with kayaks

Wait they are still talking about NFTs?????
"and explained in detail the position on NFT-tokens"
i still 100% think they will try to bring again the NFT stuff in another way
Not until the game is out
They can still "sneak"something in the DLCs or whatever
Or even through base game updates
GSC is like GRE
You never know what will drop from the skies
GRE is the humanitarian organization in Dying Light's plot, dropping supplies for the survivors in the game's fictional location
Wait till march
Why do people have issues with anomaly players
why, it's a year away
That was what got me into stalker and got me to play through the original games
Anomaly strives to alter the meaning of the true stalker experience
Nobody hates the Anomaly players
Its the concept of the mod itself
How so
Tons of items, tons of stuff that doesn't make sense to be in the games to begin with considering the surroundings and the environment
It's like growing bananas in the arctic
Oh I see
No better way describing things
Thats why people often refer to Anomaly being "Stalker 2"
It has too much modern stuff
Anomaly is an elite vasyanka
That makes sense thanks for explaining because I play anomaly fairly often and I didn't get the hate
?
Which reminds me I have to try OP 2.1 that released recently
Even though I prefer to stay away from mods
I usually only use gunplay mods because the gunplay in the old stalkers sucks
I played through the games without mods my first run
good now do it again
Anomaly only serves as an example why modding should be there from day 1
You can do good things in grand scale and bad things too
because vanilla is great
Depends if you have the needs
it is correct. I recently replayed vanilla Stalker, having not played it vanilla since 2007. It turned out to be a much better experience than any of the mods I tried
A good, well made and huge in scale mod can literally bring tons of profits
vanilla is the best
and yall know it
Who doesnt want that
based based
vanilla is great
Obviously cause most mods are literally rehash of the other
The only mod I'm aware that does brand new things, story included, is SA
Not reusing base game assets and changing things
vanilla my beloved
vanilla's just better designed, because apparently young folks at GSC somehow had an idea of what they were doing, unlike modders 
best story
Wonder what happens with SA 2

Dean Sharpe should pay a visit to every modding team
play soc MP right now

damn bro my pda says kill my self right now bro
downloading cop rn and im worried that it'll kill my Anomaly
Uninstall that first
good idea but i can;t
Don’t worry, they make the right decision in postpone the game. Let’s hope is the last one delay
oh look cop strelok woke up
Sure you can, download an uninstalling app and wipe it to the ground
no
just no

Who else is waiting for MS to announce their acquisition of GSC? It's not a good year so far for Sony. Full disclosure: I'm saying this as a joke and I happen to love Sony games. I just also can't get past the arrogance of Sony.
Sony was destroyed the moment most of the main staff was replaced by muricuns
embracer group is more likely 😉
Why would MS buy GSC
They already have an exclusivity deal
i think this far into deals and showing its gonna be PC n Xbox would only do them a bad name
@coarse reef temporary though
But it would not make sense to negotiate something like an exclusivity deal with another company for a product and then before the product even gets released you decide to just buy that company instead
@earnest urchin I agree. I was mostly joking. But also saying it in jest with all the reactions I've seen lately following the Activision acquisition.
Holy batman internet is fine here but everything is freezing, including the water pipes
ah good for you
No supply of fresh water in a 21st century town
have fun freezing your arse off over there
use your pee maybe?
Freezing me balls
Also no street lights at night
It'll turn out to be Ghost town 2
Lol
greed buys super greed = ultra combo wombo
where u at
@solid dome Same here. We've had -20 temps here all week.

-21 yesterday
Neighbour down the street had his pipes frozen for 24 hours cause he had nothing to make things flow again
Kek
Ah, that sucks
Yeah
We had that happen in our upstairs bathroom a few weeks back... Had to wait to thaw or pay some plumber $500/hr for him to heat up the pipes
No thanks
Now we just keep that water dripping on really cold days
Yeah
Either that or kiss the shower goodbye
Imagine you live in Venezuela, it's -20 outside and...
You'd be on the verge of death for reals
created some backup save files for mah anomaly, saved downloaded mod names to notepad and im uninstalling anomaly
goodbye anomaly, hello gunslinger 
@solid dome do you accept me now
You'll receive your bunker permit only after I have the evidence
Then you can operate safely anywhere in the zone
Deal?
- says this in Sakharov's voice -
is this the main chatting channel?
For all things S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-related, yes.
there isn't really one, but if you want to talk about the games do it here
if for some reason you want to talk about anything else do it in #💬┃en_offtop, but I wouldn't do that because that place is very toxic
Not really
Can anyone identify where this footage is from?
It’s 2 months less than a year now but the information drought is super concerning. Every stalker game previously has had its delays and such, but we were fed game information and screenshots/videos to keep people amped and let them know what type of product it was going to be
I don’t want a rush of information when we get close to the game that’s the exact time I want nothing more to be shown and actually get ready to play it
Autumn Aurora 2.1 will never not bang hard. That was a brilliant mod. The weapon ballistics were simply sublime
Anomaly took years to show up on the scene but I get your point. It took years for most of these larger mods like Misery to show up.
I’m gonna play devils advocate and say Microsoft doesn’t want to own GSC because it’s not a regular release studio and they have a small portfolio. Microsoft buying them doesn’t guarantee that their next products will be profitable and smooth. This is GSC, the second king of delays, Valve being #1. Microsoft would rather fund them and take their sales cut rather than oversee and micro manage them. Besides, with that large acquisition, they have their hands completely full of IP to reboot and turn a profit on so they can make money from the acquisition
I don't see such mods coming for the sequel
Cause those mods literally used custom forks of the OG engine
Which will never happen with Unreal
Impossible in this life
Even if GSC doesn’t go wildly out of their way to support mods, as long as they don’t artificially limit the engine from being modified, then we should be good. If we can install assets and scripts we are good to go
Well any hardcoded stuff is a dangerous bullet
Original mods didn’t do that though. It took years for those forks to be developed. We really had Complete as the major overhaul mod for a minute
Elaborate
Hardcoded stuff is this part of the game you can't mod normally without special tools that require reverse engineering the game
Be it very strange formats... etc
That wasn’t my question
Elaborate on what’s a “dangerous bullet”
Oh that
Nothing dangerous about those mods
This is standard modding
You didn't understand what I meant
I meant anything that is hardcoded will kill their "100% modding" promise
Maya for models and textures. Simple. Been around forever. LUA scripts and equivalents have also been around. It’s all standard
Which is why I mentioned equivalents
Do remember new engines come with new formats. And that’s fine. LUA was new once upon a time. Not everything uses DOOM 1993 as a modding model anymore
Lua is nowhere near dead though
Almost like saying CSS is dead

Point noted though
Oh no for sure but it’s not like a brand new modern tool
It’s classic at this point
I’m just saying I’m not opposed to making way for new standards
Lol this reminds me when people kept yelling about Web 2.0 
Lmao
You see, Tommy
It is hard to believe some software development house - let's call it like that - would use a 3rd party framework (engine in our case) to do a product that would let users customize it to their liking, be it the UI (looks in our case, texture change), the features (gameplay mechanics) or... dunno what else
It's simply hard to believe someone would buy a license to something that would later make it easy to modify without getting sued by the provider of the said technology
Epic usually would do anything to protect their tech
How do you see someone reverse engineering their tech to make a fork of and put it on github
No. Way.
It'll end up dead with a C&D letter in few hours
I’m very curious to see if GSC (today) is like the old GSC and will treat stalker 2 with the same modding reverence as far as giving blessings for distributing original assets
That always struck me as surprising and very admirable of them with the stand-alone mods. I guess only time will tell with that though
Same
They feel extra convinced they can do modding like the old days
But times changed a looooot since then
anomaly is actually fun
Exactly, so they say. And your right, it’s been a long time and their place in the industry is growing
I hate copyright laws
It’s easier to be the fan favorite when your the “indie”
Put a texture mod online, get it taken down
What in the...
Screw that
Imagine everyone start getting strikes for their mods everywhere
That would be GSC killing themselves
I see it going one of 2 ways, either they give full blessings on mods, with the silver lining being many hard coded components limiting what you can actually mod in the first place, or it will be completely open to mods and any distribution of OG S2 assets being pulled right away, Microsoft isn’t going to want stalker 2 to be a paradise on Pc with the Xbox getting zero mod support, last thing daddy MS wants is to see assets going online for free
Zachar said they won't take downs if they don't violate their IP
Like when the L4D2 maps had to be paid DLC when the maps were free on PC. Scummy times
Meaning they wont take down mods that don't share their assets online
That's literally Anomaly to begin with
Though mods mods require you to have the game installed
Those are safe
Only total conversions are endangered by this
Since they share game assets - not needing to buy the game at all
I've heard its up to GSC to say things
However they only bought the license to use the engine for their needs
They didn't bought the engine itself, so Epic still holds the torch
If they say, screw this mod, it violates our ToS... dead goes the mod
I won’t forget how badly ID dropped the ball on Doom2016 with its abysmal snap map crap
There's still some grey area that needs to be cleared up - what they own and what not
If thats custom content support I don’t want it lol
But since it's private info they wont talk about it
The NDA curse lives on
You ever wonder if GSC reads our messages like, we wish we could tell you what you want to know but our hands are tied
If say, they came out and said - We own this, we decide what we do with this and that - we'd know better where modding could end up
I mean that is NDA
It's confidential company information that won't find its way on the internet, be it through official or unofficial means
In order for any internal information to be considered private it has to be NDA
They won't disclose their license contract whatsoever
Same like you not giving your social insurance number online
Lol
I hear ya
Ya get me, comrade

People often say
Eh stop trolling, Unreal engine is moddable
Yeah, no doubt, but can it be that moddable if someone bought a license to use it...
Bro my heart skipped a beat with that green text on the top of my phone with an announcement
it’s a sales announcement
Yeah

Oh it's "Sale Warning" wall-e of text
If the announcement counter reads 2...
There is something important
Lol
Something that isn't for-sale went on sale. Nice.
GSC is the girl you love more than she loves you 
GSC is the queen you can't touch else you end up dead
mfs on their way to react with their country's flag emoji when there's a new post in announcements
Yeah same ones that are here only to react
God save the queen lol
Most of them
King in the castle, king in the castle - Borat in the distance
Yo, see this
I only want to be able to do my translation duties for ST2, that's what I care the most
I can forgive em for the rest.... maybe?
Not certainly sure I will but one can try
..........no one could say that about chimeras. or the mutated cats On the contrary!.............
Is the lass that cares about your wallet more than she cares about you 
Holy moly this post card they have in #📰┃announcement
Yes
🇲🇽

She got me simping with a 400 dollar ultimate edition 
373
and god, i need it in my life
I had to pay slightly more for than sweet Germany to USA shipping because I’m apparently not good enough to get my regions pre order to open lol so i had to get crafty 
I like the lamp
Shit, sorry to hear it, is it a nylon or a canvas bag?
Ship word, cherkov
Change it to save yourself a warning for violating the Swearing rule
In here instead of that we invented a better word
We use... SHIP
Rule 3 tho
Shiphole this, shiphole that
i dont like shipping, its a dogshit concept and everyone who uses it needs to be tormented in hell
ony ones that actually work
Skif > was told translates for > Boat
Meaning... CNPP river racing
Rev up those Yamaha engines
The shameless sequel to hydro thunder, coming this summer! 
i wonder if were gonna get any of the cut content back in ST2 from the previous titles
id love an RPK
I just hope they don’t have BTRs cruising about
yeah, those might be trouble
BTRs are easy targets
Sneak from behind, throw 4 C4 charges, bang
But you don't have C4's in the Zone
Thus... RPMmG-7 comes in handy
RPM stands for Rage Per Minute
How much are the stalker games on steam rn
to put it bluntly CS is cheapest and CoP is expensive but ofc depends on steam regional pricing shenaginans
hey, but tell me this
was it a canvas or a nylon backpack
Doesnt everyone hate cs
why? CS is great
Just what ive heard
usually people taking reviewers too hard, its playable
Is call of Pripyat good?
Fun fact, I bought the fallout 76 collectors edition. And I mailed bethesda for the actual canvas bag and ended up getting it. I sold the collectors but I kept the canvas bag 
if its going bad for your PC download swamp reclamation project (CS only)
All games are awesome, play them in release order, that’s the only right way to play them
depends if it actually suits you since uh CoP is less action but more walking

Thanks
No prob
fUNny
I have anomaly but I honestly dont like it was much as the og games
Hard time figuring out where to go but the combat is great
Bing chilling
- 15 social credit
Monkas
CS doesnt need that
Only SoC does if you are unlucky
ZRP sucks tbh
Never used that tbh
like few crashes dont matter compared to a supposed to be bug fixing mod that alters the game somehow
Yes, I've been playing STK for 10 years now, never used ZRP or Complete
SRP actually does what it says on the tin
completes just suck
no need to discuss that even
I mean nothing better than vanilla
i use ZRP never got a problem
you propably didnt notice the game changing things
i think it has sleeping bags afaik
hmm dont remember now i think it might have it but i dont use it anyway in that case lol
its pointless really
is stalker pro trans rights?
the sleeping bag is an optional feature in ZRP

well hello
shall i get some roles or is it none of my concern?
everytime i join a server, i get asked to get roles lol
yea i have feeling that is right
SRP also has its own set of optional changes, it just doesn't use a neat app to install/uninstall them like the one ZRP has
mutants are supposed to be hunted
ye, stalker is not pro mutants
so start running 😊

any kind of discrimination is forbidden by the server rules btw
what does stalker have to do with trans rights?
what is sleeping bag regarding stalker?
scroll up
so basically its when you can skip lots of time by sleeping in game
yup
? i didnt say it had anything to do with stalker
and i finished like SoC in like 3,1 hours and experienced only one night
you said is stalker pro trans?
so
really pointless if you know what to do
and most suits have NVGs rammed to them for free™️
no disagreeing here
since you're the one who brought up the sleeping bag, I will point out that it is included in both ZRP and SRP
it shouldnt be in SRP
it is, and it's optional in either mod
By asking "is stalker pro trans rights" we're going to assume you mean the games
when I saw the notification I though that they'd delayed it again
i thought it was finally gameplay again 
not gonna happen
propably way way later
I bet it's not even in playable state yet
they can simply nitpick the playable parts
its not like that the full game has to be done just to show off something
I mean the """"gameplay"""" trailer was a prerendered piece of cr4p
so I doubt that we'll be seeing anything anytime soon
most of it parts werent
the shootout part specifically was really really dumbed down AI
it's a console game
(Ignores steam)
GSC said that there wont be special things to each version
yes, which is why the dumbed down AI will be in both 😏
The ai will probably just be changed by the difficulty
do you know many games that do it like that?
And we're probably going to go on the highest anyways
you do realize that difficulty is basically the hardest part to balance
which is just "how much artificial flavour you want in your game" nowadays
Hitman does it
i doubt GSC will go on their way to mess with the AI
Ye, hitman is one of them
Going through spotty internet area sorry
You sure?
I think you have it wrong
shut up
"Plant" only one difficulty setting
given with the size for GSC its easy
introducing: stalker 2 complete 
Godmode, Infinite amount of health and ammo, instant unlock on all items
ATM of the Zone
you have a point
I mean console players are going to cry because the game's too hard so they'll have to dumb down the AI
they're working on each version separately


will they ever release gameplay trailer or gameplay demo
like Elden Ring did
if more companies were like from software we'd have bangers drop every single year
The game release is 10 months away
I'd say we'll get gameplay in late spring/early summer, possibly around E3
you'll get your gameplay when you fix this damn door!
They'd have it dumbed down already
They're obviously using the PC build as basis to do the con-crap-sole versions
Death to consoles
i never understood the hate for consoles like i do know they do some pretty wacky stuff in there which affects PC too but without consoles the gaming would be still looked upon likes some basement dweller thing tbh
А как тут
a ni kak
I heard the Devs may have to shut down with the Pending... Conflicts in the UK right now. Tis this info ive heard true? I beg not.
its more or less another journalist bait to get clicks at maximum
Consoles are for lazy, fat losers
Is this game still gonna get made now that the Ukraine is getting invaded ;~;
i wonder if this journalist was stalker fan
It's cancelled already
Yeah announcement floating around Instagram
Ffs
Why did they have to invade now
The game is coming out
so we do a little stalking

We do a little... tourist delight discount
🥺
Cans up for grabs
sadly putin doesn't care about stalker
~<
Russian army in Kiev already?
i heard they just gathered at the border
must be something to gain for someone from creating tension
but it's actually against the rules to talk about politics
Obvious bait is obvious 
too late, many has been baited
baited me as well
gotta hate it when redditors come here
You already did
Warnings on their way out
absence of consoles is what made my childhood gaming special
Consoles are invented for one thing: sitting on the coach, eating the poison called chips or burgers, becoming obese and still doing all that
ye you can't eat chips and burgers while on pc. It would destroy the pc
You can but it's not the same
Since you need to use 2 peripherals rather than 1
Plus nobody would do the same thing on a keyboard
Harder to clean
Sometimes impossible
Depends on the damge

so wait. If you use console, the console is not enough?
so you need console AND keyboard?
thats the stereotype caused by americans but console is just more affordable than PC shiz
whats more expensive: PS4, xbox or PC?
Hardware wise, yeah, but games tend to be much much less expensive
Plus maintenance is easier
You can't upgrade a console too
It dies, you buy a new one, whereas you can still use the same PC case for ages


the same thing can apply to PC too just not that often and not as a whole
but still consoles are cheaper in the end
Depends how you use the PC
I never had a PC completely die
But then again I'm not a gamer
I dont abuse hardware
imagine being a gamer
i mean, we are stalker fans after all
great movie
Reason: Bad word usage
oh
i thought about something rn, if russia invades could the zone become a battleground
fr man
Why people suddenly start caring about those two countries - where you were all the time before that
Lol
dude ikr
oh wow didnt know
Stalker can as well move out in Alaska meaning the studio goes to another country, so what
that is some great news wow
It's people making a game, not the country
wow wow
dude why did no one tell me it was made by ukranians
ikr
but thats how people view it
People are thinking with their lower head if they have one
i am tired of people
Which tells bad about them
Speaking of that...
If the game gets axed you'll still be able to play Fellout 76
Catch up
i never really waited for fallout, but sure
Better stock up on old school games if the thing gets C.A.N.C.E.L.L.E.D. 2
THis way you'll have plenty of stuff to run through
we'll get a Stalker 2 remake mod in 10 years
just play vanilla
i am not getting hopes up for cancelled games
it havent been canceled
just a reminder, the first game was announced in 2001
wow that was very early
gives me hope that stalker 2 will get released soon as well
u dont know much about the past of stalker games huh
i kinda do
ngl good that the first build of the game wasnt the final product
like it would have been forgotten real quick most likely
btw i don't understand how cancellation would help
just cuz russian invades?
its not about politics. Its just... you can still develope the game
yes war is a joke
how many times is this gonna be brought up
dude too many times already
Zillion
mind your business
People just talk whatever they hear on the media
it does
It always was present in our lives
Only that the West activated it 15 years ago or so
i said to eat it means i am right eat it now eat it now
Chinese can eat that
ah u want us to eat it
Returned a pack of nuts last week that turned out to be produced in Korea
but won't eat it yourself
Ain't eating that crap

u have to eat soy or u get fired
yeah its called mainstream media
man that bloodsucker in dark valleys in SoC scared me badly
damn you someone name in square
is this some beef lol
hey how much does the delivering process take
lmao
Do you guys reckon ultimate edition is worth getting
i think preorder isn't worth it
Literally the media
Either that or a girlfriend
Is NA ever going to get preorders?
Obviously the topic is borderline on the Rules but a certain place sent certain dudes to the zone to protect certain invaders from coming through there in an event that may or may not happen soon
so your not wrong actually
As we speak there’s stalkers posted up in the zone
Lmao shots fired
all around me are familiar faces, worn out faces, worn out plaaaaaces, bright and early for the daily races
Yea basically no

I preorder the collector’s because I think that is the better edition
guess ill never find out then
You should remember what happened to Crysis 2 and 3
100% yes
depends on how much of a fan you are
imo
like any collectors edition ultimately
hehehe, see what i did there? 
hey how much does it take for it to arrive
i feel like getting it by end of november, need to rack up cash for it first
gonna take some time tho
is this the discord for stay out? this is the only server that pops up
No
alrighty tyvm man
Howdy-ho
Hidey-ho!
pop in sometime, it can be fun around here!

Meanwhile waiting for dying light 2 and nathan drake collection on pc.

What's wrong with the Anomaly mod? Everyone hates it for no reason
Who is "everyone"?
strong people with a loving family
It's popular and popular things are obviously bad
People can't enjoy things untill someone tells them what to do
I sometimes think that the trolls come from Anomaly server trying to defend it.
It's overrated. I said it many times.
All those useless mechanics and other bullcrap makes it the least good mod. It shouldn't have popularity it has now.
What useless mechanics
@drowsy valley what's the original song here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/524246444560089099/936499200886194226/Freedom_in_clear_sky.mp4
Companion mechanic with broken A.I, weapon disassemble and assemble (never used properly, unless you love to collect trash from the whole Zone to fix that one PM), craft mechanics (never used, too, because you can get the items you need without a problem).
Disguise system, which doesn't help at all if you use the base settings. It also breaks the game sometimes.
Etc and etc.
It's just a bad mod.
Ah. Also, 3D PDA, which breaks the lightings... Pretty nice.
I don't think those are bad mechanics, they are pretty badly implemented bit they are still pretty good ideas, I don't see how it's any worse than other mods
The OG games didn't have those and that's for the better, that's for sure.
Well if a mod had just the features from the original games I wouldnt say that its a good mod
... ah. Also. How could I forget of fast travels, which makes the players more and more lazy.
Its good to try new things, even if they are not implemented on the best way
And the thing with anomaly is that you can disable a lot ot those features if you want
but you just describe every mod here
You can turn off the 3D PDA, the fast travel is turned off by default etc.
Name any of the mechanics I named there, which CS and CoP have?
I just don't see how anomaly is a uniquely bad mod
I can name you mechanics that those two had and SOC didn't and that a random user can easily denote as useless
which happens all the time anyway
It's a bad mod, which for some reason people try to defend. "Realism" 'nd crap.
some people hate faction wars, others think artefact hunting is stupid, some might say gear upgrades are useless and op
And those people call vanilla crap.
But what you said about it applies to literally every mod out there
I really don't see that happening
Probably because you don't wanna notice that.
Can you send me an example of it then
That's why not a single mod can be better than the OG Stalker.
Just one
Np. One sec.
But you have to admit the games havent aged the best
And even if some people are saying that the vanilla games suck, how is that the mods fault and make it bad?
CS doesn't count?
SoC obviously was cartoonish, but not CS and CoP.
They used photorealistic textures, so the locations look pretty nice.
https://youtu.be/wdVnZ107184?t=5762 Sytianov sums it up pretty well here 😏
If you just want to be a vanilla purist that's fine, but mods are what kept the games relevant to this day
So, mods only, not books, builds/desdocs, fan movies, arts, community itself, memes and etc?
Mods are the biggest part of that
So if you say that the mods are the only reason of why Stalker community is still active. That would be a big lie.
Thats not what they
Of course, of course. 😏
Good thing i didnt say that
Saying that the OG Stalker is still a good game now a bad tone. People call you a purist and elitist. What a world we live in.
I think that the vanilla games are still good too, but I think some mods are also good, you refuse to look at mods objectively and appreciate the effort that gets put into them
Anyways.
I couldn't translate the interview yesterday, because I forgot to pay for the internet at home. I'll do it today.
I play stalker so i could jerk off to rock
all stalkers are
not gay
what
No thanks
Hello
yet, you worship a rock
and act like a jehovah witness

I dont see those mechanics useless, I am not a troll, I like the main games and the mod, but I dont understand why everyone hates it, I have only heard basic arguments like 'bad' 'boring'
NA getting preorders once Strelok is past McDonalds
Since McDonalds is trying to poison Strelok, he has to destroy Donalds first
That once he has the RPMmG-700
The ultimate weapon for mass destruction
Is that correct, @vernal magnet?
it must be annoying for people to see Anomaly replacing the og games in the stalker discourse
Mods help increase the lifespan of games, if not for a video about Anomaly I wouldn't have played the original games
Young people are like that
Though not everything is Anomaly
There is OP, NLC, mods that are miles better
you mean this OP? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMTo2k4Xgxk
I meant the biggest Stalker mod that is Cumulative Pack which is Obedineniy Pack
which is in the video
Of some streamer playing and pretending to be the expert of it?
Streamers can suck it
Better experience it yourself
Don't be slave to their opinions
some owner of the biggest Russian modding site idk
-enlarge 
Wolfstalker then, who else
You are either a wolf or a stalker
Can't be both
What does the video tell?
If its some Monolith gibberish, don't bother
the amazing vasyanski design of the mod
if only it were the first "meme" of this kind
Vasyansky design?

No idea what Vasyansky is or who that is
Wait the video just loaded
What are you saying, was that sarcasm the mod is trash?
😔
Since the video is an excerpt of a stream and he is attacked by like 20 of em things
I prefer that over sitting in the inventory for 30 mins trying to figure which item I need
Anomaly can be good but boy, it has TOO MUCH HABAR
Way too much habar
Could use some stash cleaning
No it doesnt have enough
I know all too well what happened there
Hey you know how if you buy stalker 2 from steam you get a "steam eculsive pack"
Is that stuff just for your steam user profile or is that stuff used ingame
It's stuff for Steam
So it's just for your user profile
And a Steam background
playing gunslinger mod for cop rn and i have to cope with the facts that there are no junk items and artifacts
nor there are some self-repair kit for my stuff
also i went out to do a task to eliminate some bloodsuckers, found 3 stoneblood artifacts

Oh, okay.
in Arma 3 and Garry's Mod
don't know about the english language player base, Russian are doing alright
Reason: Bad word usage
you can try to sign up and role play as a foreigner 😏
