actually this is the one I meant when I said Arma 3, oops
Wonder if that would work out 
but idk if its any good cuz i dont like dayz that much
some kind of RP servers actually turn up if you check the multiplayer server browser in one of the original games, too. Don't know how they work
arma 3 you mean game that havent been fixed since day 1 oops
checked the multiplayer servers the other day
didnt really see anything like that with players
but as i said
gotta try out the Gmod and DayZ ones
oh
talking about foreign people in stalker universe
are there canonically any foreign people (russians aside) in the zone?
British Mercs when there's no tea in the zone:

Yes. For example, there are foreign mercs like Wolfhound and Ara.
Ashot is from Sochi, but he isn't Russian. He's most-likely Armenian. Beside that. There were Belorussian newspapers on Freedom base in SoC until they patched the game.
Vano is Georgian according to his accent.
There are probably more example. But that's what came in mind.
Freeman is American.
The mercs in cop speak Russian with American accents
great
gonna do that
Are you Russian?
As a Russian I'll say that they speak just Russian without any accent.
Don't read info from the wiki.
You probably played it in russian
The voices change from dub to dub they all have different voice actors
@soft ice i already discussed that days ago with my cat @gusty trench
Since when I'm your cat?
Since you became Meztinos again
I'm changing my name.

Wow I was looking and I just found a mod that replaces merc voices with fear ones
Awesome
Merc voicelines are good ones
smh
The wiki also says that owl has an italian accent but like that honestly sounds made up
Unfortunately.
Non-Russian or non-Ukrainian speakers don't get the atmosphere fully because they don't understand 90% of what those Stalkers in the Zone.
Campfire stories, rumors...
Just look at one of the Mercs' idle phrases.
How good I was butchering that stalker... mmm... like an artist... like Picasso... for real.

Inb4 “they’re not wrong! Ackshually…”
Heh.
thanks chad
for providing facts
Unnecessary pin #67
I mean, it's STALKER lore

It's an actual voiceline

F...
downloaded anomaly, picked bandits, walked all the way to cordon, blasted hip in the face point blank with a shotgun, uninstalled anomaly
It should have been like
"Downloaded Anomaly -> uninstalled Anomaly."
Anomaly didn’t listen lmao
because it's popular right now and all the cool kids hate it
Because it literally isn’t fun to play at all, looks terrible, runs terrible, and it made a large group of people that only played anomaly as their only stalker experience and they think that’s what stalker is (its really different from actual stalker)
as a guy who plays both the trilogy and anomaly
I find anomaly really fun
and both games play very differently
anomaly is more tactical
and the trilogy is more arcadey
I find both really fun
the graphics are literally the same
so I don't see the problem with it
I played them both too
what's fun or isn't fun is entirely subjective
The graphics in anomaly suck, they changed all the textures but the new textures are ugly and generic, i don’t see why they didn’t just use absolute nature textures
Just vomit green
vanila best skill issue
I play it sometimes, it can be fun but u always get bored after 45 minutes max and the quests suck
Its just such a mid and overrated mod
Its like I’m forcing myself to enjoy it whenever i play
i was like you when I started playing but when I set a goal it became super fun
and my goal was to live in the northern parts of the zone and live off of monolith loot
and just kill monolith
I’ve had more fun in coc
maybe because it is closer to the trilogy
I would play coc but it doesn’t have 3d pda or any questline
anomaly is less similar to the trilogy
idk but I find anomaly really addicting
I understand it's overrated but it's because how fun it is
just like the trilogy it's not for everyone
What mods do you play anomaly with
The quests in anomaly are really boring and it runs so bad I have to make my game look bad to get alright fps
just a few addons nothing crazy
bas trader overhaul blindsides animations and thap rework
actually runs terrible is fake. its the most fps performance friendly STALKER content in terms of optimalization
also fixed vanilla textures and performance textures
also
reshade is trash
it takes 20 fps for no reason
i think the best way to describe the difference between the trilogy and anomaly is that in the trilogy you're the stalker while in anomaly you're just a stalker
Not even remotely true
I don’t know who started that bs idea
and that's why I like it
yeah
Dead air looks really good and probably runs better than anomaly
and it's it fun at all
It existed before anomaly?
I mean the graphics are amazing but the gameplay itself sucks
Other way around
not sure
You didn’t know anomaly was a dead air fork?
no
woah
Anomaly takes from dead air not the other way around
at least it's a good ripoff
btw I just got the trilogy for 15 bucks instead of 40
what a bargain
no one. it simply runs the best out of any games/mods
It literally doesn’t
I wish I could send pictures here
on my potato atleast...
I have a picture of gunslinger+ absolute nature 4 running at 60 fps and it looks really good. And then anomaly at absolute potato settings like lowest settings imaginable running at 45 fps looking awful
It’s really badly optimized especially newer versions
anomaly runs perfectly fine for me
i ran it on Dx8 render last time with quality somewhere high and some middle and it ran 60 fps
but thats cuz Dx8 and Dx11 are the most stable ones
I guess I have a potato but I can run abs nature higher with better fps
Im pretty sure dx11 is the most unstable but I don’t know enough to argue
i heard that dx10 is not as optimized but thats on CS
Dx10 is literally garbage
I hope you understand that I’m not just shutting on anomaly because I want to, I literally just cant force myself to enjoy it
I used to play anomaly
Look at what I sent you @earnest urchin
I hope that coc gunslinger port comes out soon
hey i myself only played anomaly like 2-3 hours per playthrough max
4 additional hours trying to get mods to make it feel like a good game
Its like that Fr
4 hours would have been better spent beating my meat
Its really poorly made, people just defend anomaly because it’s the only stalker they played

BRO WHY IS THAT SO TRUE
i wanted to play coc first but i literally spent like 3 hours trying to make it run and then i gave up
Nah bro you can’t insult it
hey send me that photo
3 hours edging to build endurance
LMAO
Dead Air gets a lot of things right, like general gameplay mechanics, but it suffers from the same issues a lot of CoC mods do, plus its own issues like egregious mutant spawns and a bad implementation of inflation (which isn't a bad idea, but it's executed awfully).
at least i can use 4 shotguns on my character at once in anomaly
The worst problem with anomaly is that people play it before any of the originals
well the original games don't exactly look inviting to todays audience
well this is the case here
I didn't even know this was a mod
well it's the least picked faction
I thought it was the official
yeah I noticed that
i played anomaly after i finished CS , SHoCh but before Anomaly i tried CoC also i must admit i still haven't fully played CoP because it ran like sht for some reason, and Clear Sky ran the best then in the middle was Shadow of Chernobyl
i honestly just picked it because number low
I honestly think it’s really bitchmade to not play a game because of graphics
alright
unironically the graphic style of STALKERs is what drove me into it
Bro I’ve seen a lot of those people in the anomaly server
I cant stand those people lowkey
This one guy named thiago something was the worst offender
Upgrade your weapon as soon as possible for accuracy
get CS-3 armor before moving to cordon
where can I get that
The trader
PMm gang
don't go to cordon through the way the game wants you to, just go through it to complete the objective and then go back to the swamps and then go to the northern exit to cordon
Nah it’s fine just frustrating
PMm sucks as s irl and in-game too 
Don’t fight them just run
the early parts of the game are really frustrating so prepare for that
well the entire game is
Not resllt
Its just action oriented
It’s just the accuracy that makes it frustrating and that’s just because people don’t upgrade their weapon
get a lot of bandages too because you usually need more than 1 to stop bleeding
and that's all from me
to this day i can't for the love of god remember name of one game which also took place in the exclusion zone but you were playing as US agent or something like i dont know for 100% now. it was quite interesting but i cannot recall the name ffs. i only played demo of it
i think there was also some that ''sabotage'' theory conspiracy thing mixed up in the plot
The cod game
it was not cod
Stolker dva
on my case i just tell them to play originals first to get the idea of whats happening and get used to controls/AIs or whatever
does dead air have any kind of story to follow?
yeah and apparently its better than the Anomaly's fanfic

True
Anomaly story sucks
yeah thats what i keep hearing i never play through it myself
it is pretty bad
is svds pmc good ?
Nah
anomaly is not bad
I’ll beat the game with it hold up
You… should…
i should what
i have been enjoying it
Play the originals you 9 year old
i have played them lol
2 hours each lmao
what do you mean
are you talking to me
Yea
Anomaly player
why are you thinkin i havent played the orginal gammes ?
“anomaly is not bad”
You said that
That’s why
still sucks ass.
i see nothing wrong with anomaly
i played stalker trough on pure vanilla first and now doing a stalker compete playthrough, on Master difficulty ofc
Master difficulty really feels like stalker
its harder but on a good level
enjoyable
Beat SoC with only PMms once
I started stalker on master difficulty
Yea
Master is ez
Anything lower is to easy
Anomaly is fun as a sandbox trilogy will always be better
Doesn't master sorta make the game easier in a way
didnt mean it was hard, just mean that i find it the most enjoyable way to play
We were talking about the PMm
Not anomaly
Oh my b
Yo PFP makes that better
why peapole hate anomaly
Because it’s a bit dumb
why ?
Because it's like free stalker
It tries to tie into the actual games to much and is boring as hell
LMAO
People think you should play the games vanilla first
Yea
Then get into mods
welll i have and they were good
If you start with modded it’s not as fun normal
I started with normal never needed mods
well i dont know any good mods for vanilla
None
Complete that’s it
You can buy all the games on steam for like $5 on sale
Anything more than complete is to far
Yea
When i first played in stalker it was Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl i played on medium and only after full walkthrough i played on master it was really hard
I played soc on master vanilla it was fun but wasting two mags on one person got kinda annoying for me so I got a realistic damage mod for it
It screws up the game's balance
That's how I got into stalker a $5 bundle
If you are gonna play stalker with a mod first time
Never played it 
I was told game is hard so aim for head
Boom ez
I can’t mod firstly secondly I find modded just stale
But none compare to vanilla
Nothing compares to vanilla
I will rebuttal some here but Anomaly can be fun with the right settings IE not story mode
Reason: Bad word usage
A lot of really good mods have lost the spotlight to anomaly
link
Nah
its a gif
Yea
That doesn’t work here sadly
i no see it
good
Click it….
why
Trollin’ time!
i know what it is
its hahah a-haha-hahaha-hahahaha-hahahahah
It’s a free bitcoin auto farmer
get real
Nah

never heard of that gun
The 1911
It's the in-game name for the 1911, yeah
ah well i never used so thats prob why lol
does anyone know the propably date of going out stalker2?
Wasn't it 8 of december
Offically? December 8th. Most likely? March 20th 2023
aww no im getting that feeling
i played so much stalker i dont feel like it anymore
😢
Sacrilege
One does not simply “not feel like it anymore”
Thats exactly how i feel
lol
im talking about story btw @vernal magnet
the three games story 10 + times
i have fully modded anamoly just dont know what to do
play every mod from Ap-pro's top 50
and go insane
Go wacky
thats a good idea thanks
is there a reason for the player and uncle yar to not get attacked in kopachy while walking to the abandoned house
So when do I get early access 😉
Woah since when the count went up to 500?!
— да, команда из 500 человек, всё верно. Это не "только слышим" — это уточнение, сколько людей трудится над этим проектом
We knew all the people involved in the game are give or take 300, now Culkin says 500
The heck?
Will stalker2 support Dolby Atmos?
i'd assume he has more info given he is part of the gsc team
Autumn Aurora 2.1 gang 
Well… yes
yar has a certain mentality about the zone, different from degtyarev
Fair
Zombies are calm if you don't ask unnecessary questions. That's what Yar said.
So if you don't come close to them and behave quietly - they won't attack you.
Duty bad,military good 
anyone know how to restore english voices for autumn aurora?
thanks bro
Logic. However, if they have 500 peeps on it, should they fail to deliver, it'll be the biggest shame in the history of videogames. Why reveal that even. 😄
Even Bethesda never had such a team on a single game
Based
and just like that
january is almost over, 10 month left
i really don't think GSC can pull this off
Why Sabulanis took his STALKER music livestream off...
Now what do I listen while doing my paperwork duties...
Any suggestions for such a thing?
beats to relax/study to
Angry violent music to vibe with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi52QGq5kBA should also work
@Mez What path you think ST2's story will take?
Military attempts to push into the Zone by force and we take it from there or some even more complex mystery?
1st thing makes more sense
Since the game will be set in the modern times
2020 or so...
The Military may be the new Monolith
But then again the military option doesn't make sense from another point of view
If one has to fight Mili, one has to be part of the enemy
Which isn't how Stalker plays - one enters as a stranger
Maybe GSC will spin things a bit
this time round
Doesn't look like that, Monolith can still be seen, i also doubt that
Maybe the story in the sequel will be Cube x Stalker
Cube is the movie franchise if you never heard or watched that
Puzzles everywhere I mean
SIIRCA should technically be separeded by Military, or if it is united it means some generals wants its power
Six complete strangers with widely varying personalities are involuntarily placed in an endless maze containing deadly traps. Six different people, each from a very different walk of life, awaken to find themselves inside a giant cube with thousands of possible rooms
Ditch the first part
Lol
If i am not wrong the documents said that SIIRCA started going crazy
Meaning more wild mysteries?
@mez said the SIIRCA thing
Summoning @gusty trench
a
But i believe that SIIRCA and Military do have their own different agenda
We already have Ward.
Mez I need lore lessons

Ward cooperates with SIIRCA
Aka not letting people in or out of the place
It's different than protecting
It's isolating
Nothing is that simple with SIIRCA. It's definitely not as pure as it looks like.
That's because the zone is their property and it is what they should do
What do you think. Is killing witnesses that good?
I mean, we know how UA morale was back then
I am pretty sure they can shoot people on sight
If they enter in the Zone
They are a paramilitary group like Duty, but their ideology is like Clear Sky's.
One sec. I'm looking for the docs...
I know what Ward is meant to be though
Just trying out to figure what GSC may do to keep the game as much interesting as SoC or CoP at least
CoP wasn't prime example of uber intriguing story though I think
Not supreme, not trash
For me all the games were good
It's still interesting
It really depends on what you are looking for
CoP is more interesting about labs and how factions end up, and Monolith
Not as much as SoC tho
Maybe
But it tells a lot
They also did very well at making the documents and explaining the story
We were told about the approx length of the story before, no? ST2 that
Ex: documents in the bridge at Zaton
What was it, 100 hours?
100 hours multiple playthroughs
they said to see everything you will have to play multiple times so
Stil
If multiple endings...
In 100 hours i can finish CoP with all the side quests and good ending like 8 times
Say 20 hours per ending
Taking even my time
Not bad, if enough side content and stuff to do
100 seems even less to me tbh
But then again we dont know how the world will look
Didn't they said the main story will take around 100 hours?
They said something but I dont remember the exact wording
But I'm sure it was related to story only
No side quests and activities
A main story that lasts 100 hours is impossible lol
A team of 500 feels... suspicious too
Bruh do you know a video game developer, major one, that had such a team working over a single game?
I don't know such
TW3 had 300 tops, and that game is MAJOR
100 hours for one playthrough you mean?
Since they never explicitly said if that means one or multiple playthroughs
i think
Like you said yourself, if for one take, it's hard to believe to be true
If for multiple runs... seems
Fine?
20 hours x 6 endings...
Even that would be quite much for people like me that are playing as slow as possible
I usually take 60 hours to do everything cause I always run left and right looking at things, etc
Still havent done my last CoP pt - months now
But that's about laziness
Reason: Bad word usage
GOD DAMN IT!
Lol
I hate this bot so much.
Was that you?
MEE6 doesn't like Mez
Post it on Pastebin and link here
Too much didnt read case for MEE6
I love you too
I'll post translations of some docs and the messages the Problesk group and Cipher itself sent us. You make the conclusions about SIIRCA, Perimeter Security Service (UA) yourself.
Problesk:
You've been a good help to us. We are glad that you care about the fate of the Zone. But the war is not over yet.
We know that there are some normal people among SIIRCA employees, who are willing to help us. But they are afraid for themselves and their loved ones. The bigwigs from this institute will stop at nothing, these freaks control everything they can reach. The few people who are willing to help us are practically taken hostage. They need support and assurance that if anything happens, they will have the public on their side... And to do that we need to tell the world who SIIRCA really are and express support for our supporters. We need to show what's behind their crappy website from the 90's. So, listen up. Post a photo on all your social media sites with the name of your town and the text attached
"SIIRCA is the main enemy of the Free Stalkers.
#stalkersmight."
Once you see the support, one of the "defectors" is sure to get in touch.
Take action.
Ben Oni - aka Cipher:
They all lie. I'm your friend. The only, for a long time.
Problesk (it's a transcript of radio conversations of NIICHAZ agents they intercepted):
- It's First, over!
- First, report.
- We cleared out both points. We got into an ambush at the point C36, started a fight, but had to retreat. There's a temporary camp at the point H42, It's almost fully evacuated. Ah. Also we met guys from Ward. Everything is fine. No incidents.
- Do you have anything important to report?
- One of the casualties had a badge with engravings. C14 and a skull with bones. We took one prisoner.
- Don't take a prisoner to the base on H12. Interrogate him and finish off.
- Understood. Everything will be done.
- Great. Update the access codes.
R-2-3-1. Ring. Kilo. Juliet-Oscar. Position. Charlie. Quebec. Victor. Reflector. Charlie.- Roger that, over.

Cipher:
Hello to all who read it. You did the right thing.
They can't intimidate us. They tried, that's for sure, but did they succeed? I've seen a lot of crap... I got my first suit, which I had to throw away in the bunker on Yanov. I was hungry all the time. At first I only had a knife and a well-worn pistol they lent me. I endured it. I endured and learned more and more about this place every day. So much to live through, man... So much to hide! But it paid off! Sometimes I can't believe it myself... all of it.
You should know what I saw.
They followed me all the time. They wanted what I found. They thought I'd be scared, but let them go to hell! WE CAN'T BE STOPPED!!!
You did a great job. A GREAT JOB! It all worked out - since that piece of paper is in front of you, that means we're almost there. And that goal is to reduce the influence of evil in the Zone. Yeah, you can't eradicate all the crap in here. It's too late. But to kick those who put down roots here... That's a noble goal. I got some left in me, and I hope you got some in you too.
And we taught them a lesson... Point C12, the bloodsucker's lair, SIIRCA, Problesk - did you like it?! Although, that question is more rhetorical.
Problesk
I will tell the truth. Everyone will know the truth. I promised it, and I'll say it again. Everyone will know the truth, but you have to help me. One last time, buddy. Everything I could muster on these scumbags. The creation of mutants, the first raids to the center of the Zone, the "unclassified fauna"... You know that they knew it long before all of this?! You see, they were conducting "special measures to to solve the problem"! What a "wonderful" effort they made! I found a little bit about Project X, too. It's all there. It's all there, try to understand it...
You're already in this crap up to your eyeballs. You're already part of the whole ugly story, and you can't go on living your life in peace. So be ready to march when the time comes.
Every step, every moment and every blow was right. And the situation could have been reversed! Even after that story with the students. It was possible to save someone... saved.
We have to fight. Get ready!
Sounds like Probelsk, if you get the pun
Lol
@gusty trench Why not posting that on the Stalker wiki, make a dedicated page for this stuff instead of posting it here
It's Поглед.
You deserve headpats and love @gusty trench
It'll be lost in a matter of seconds
Mez needs a tin can of the freshest food in the Zone
Meztinos
Because I'm busy doing other things on Stalker Wiki (-ru) 
Stalker Wiki (-en) can't be fixed.
Post it in russian then
We'll translate it for ourselves
You can find it on Miro then.

Yeah that wasn't me, pets jumping on the keyboard lmao
I'm being invaded

bro what the hell is wrong with gunslinger mutants?
i literally can't defeat a dwarf without getting killed 20 times repeatly
or get my companions outta pripyat underpass alive
and my difficulty is stalker
ya know what it's every man for himself
i'm saving the one i can save

Burer is too op in Gunslinger. This addon can make your life easier https://github.com/Ishmaeel/wimpy-burer
i'm a femboy who thinks the zone should be destroyed but also think duty should let its members have a little more freedom, which faction do i join lol?
mercenary
reject em, fight for the zone instead
join the monoloth
just make your own faction easy
really good but i’ve made a lotta progress already. downloading more addons will crash mah oldest save
the best way to deal with burers in "vanilla" gunslinger is to just get a shotgun, run up right in front of them to bait out an attack and shoot them while their shield is down
impossible
i got 1 with my GP25 grenade
but it took me like 20 deaths
well try it
leave the zone
leave the zone
Any news?
Yeah, you need to shoot them from a repair. But when there’s two of them, like we said in Italy, “the d**ks are coming really fast”
xD
So delusional
femboys belong to Duty and Freedom
@earnest urchin
you think freedom also has femboys?
if it can have hippies then sure
femboys belong to bandits because being gay is illegal in ukraine and russia and bandits are just runaway criminals
this is canon
i thought it was illegal only in RU
Reason: Bad word usage
clear sky is dead
technically it's legal in russia too
well maybe novikov if he didn't die of old age by then
or nimble ig but idk if he'd involve himself in that
bandit number 1!!!!
number 1 target for sane people
☢️
[The Ward Faction] 
This new faction is called the Ward. Put it this way: if the Zone is the Wild West and bandits are outlaws and bank robbers, the Ward are the lawmen. They may not have tin stars pinned to their chests, but they're definitely seen as police by the rest of the Zone.
The leader of the Ward is Colonel
Alexander Korshunov, an accomplished and experienced soldier who personally recruited the faction's members from groups of highly trained mercenaries and turned them into a proper army. A disciplined leader, he doesn't tolerate disloyalty from his soldiers, and crossing him is a bad idea.
The Ward sounds a bit similar to
Duty, another paramilitary faction
from earlier STALKER games, but Duty sees the Zone as a hazard to humanity and fights to eradicate it. The Ward, on the other hand, wants to control the dangers of the Zone so they may serve humankind through the scientific knowledge gained from them. As a result, the Ward's goal is to protect the important discoveries taking place at the Scientific Institute for Research of the Chernobyl Anomalous Area. They don't look kindly on bandits, and the feeling is mutual.
Choosing to side with Colonel
Korshunov and the Ward, or the leader and members of any of STALKER 2's factions, will be an important and difficult choice for players, according to Grygorovych. "Several characters of conflicting ideologies can be found even within the same faction," he says. "Even within the [GSC Gameworld], I see people argue about the choices [their coworkers] have made."
I’m the cute merc femboy :)
It's from the PC Gamer magazine.
Reason: Bad word usage
😳
[Co-op and Multiplayer in S2] 
There will also be multiplayer elements like PvP, deathmatch, and team deathmatch added after launch. Ifyou were hoping to take on the Zone with a friend at your side, however, that's not in the cards. When it comes to STALKER 2, co-op is a non-starter. "It is impossible to add a co-op mode without ruining the experience ofovercoming the difficulties on your own," Grygorovych says. When it comes to surviving the Zone, you'll have to do it solo, STALKER.
**
[Picking Sides]
**
STALKER's factions have different goals and ideologies. Who will you side with?
Freedom
Members of Freedom think the Zone's secrets should be shared with the world, not kept by the state.
Monolith
The religious cult of Monolith are back, determined to kill anyone trying to reach the centre of the Zone.
Ward
Led by Colonel Korshunov, this new faction acts like the policemen of the Zone. Bandits hate them. Will you?
**
Anomalies
**
Anomalies are extremely dangerous, often fatal phenomena that occur in the Zone. And a lot of times they occur before you're even aware you've stepped into one. They come in many different forms: sometimes they're explosive, fiery events that will flash-fry you where you stand, or gravitational vortexes that will pick you up and spin you around as if you've been caught in a tornado. There can be singular anomalies, they can be clustered together in anomaly fields, and there are new 'arch anomalies', such as the Fire Whirlwind, which represent an even deadlier type ofthreat.
As for the arch anomalies like the Fire Whirlwind, GSC isn't telling us much about them yet, other than that simply making your way through them using detectors won't be enough to come away with your prize. "The temperature is too high and the artefact from the centre cannot be retrieved," says Grygorovych ofthe Fire Whirlwind. "We don't want to spoil the solution, but there is a way to fetch the artefact." I'm guessing it involves something more durable than some sort of fancy oven mitt.

It would be interesting if there was a PvE mode where players (maybe in teams of four) have to survive against increasingly deadly waves until they make it to a space anomaly that brings them to safety (or something).
Okay question
Okay answer
isnt the zone expanding because strelok shot the c-consciousness?
by like... 10km?
YA and blowouts further the rate at which it expands
and the CC was preventing emissions until someone found a way to survive them
and cc was just using emissions to stop people from figuring out the truth
like a machine gun holding someone in place
but now there is nothing to resist or slow down emissions so it expanded by 10km in game
are bandits bad or good
bad
bad
bandits are robbers
Bandits are better than Free Stalkers
Bandit call themselves out that they're bandit they rob people
Free Stalker is full of criminal, murderer.... scary people
and you will never know which free stalkers is good or bad

He got a point ^
anyone know how to get nimble to come back with my order in gunslinger?
the task says "Collect your goods" and he's nowhere to be found
Sleep always works for me
Yeah, i did that
or reload saves may help
hey, is there like a questions channel around here? i got a question on how to get the true good ending in SOC
you can ask questions here
to get the good ending you need to go back to the cordon after deactivating the brain scorcher and meet the guide
then follow the questline that starts from that
where is guide in the cordon?
Teh farm
The place where you rescue Fox
OH
Guides are born in the pig farm!
where fox is?
I know where's that
i played like abit of SOC, but still pretty new to it.
its right behind the bridge
The true ending is you, your PMm and 5 medkits in total. Nothing else.
Pretty easy
Tru
You do realize that bandits are literally the same? If not even worse
Most of the bandits came to the Zone to hide away from big land's law
but bandits admit it, thats the point they were making
While most of the stalkers came there just to make money from artifacts
Bandits are literally parasites. At least stalkers are trying to honestly make money, while bandits just rob them and that's it
They're doing literally nothing helpful
That's why I choose free stalkers
yes
Blin, what scientific research paper are you writing
I only write from my experience... Vampire and his gangz, Tremor the blood addict murderer, Snag and Magpie (before he join Freedom) the lying bastard... They're all from free stalkers
they take “taxes”
giving out money with a lotta “interest”
concentration campa
camps
Haven't heard about em
idk they exist in CS
The one in CS
Oh that's why I don't know about them
Yoga force them walk into anomalies
free stalkers are secretly scummy people
yeah pol
poor chef
but damm i really hope there will be english dub in stalker 2
Hawaiian and his ALOHAAAA in eng dub is funny as heck
yeah
and when a character panicks
their voices are funny
just like the CS dude at the start of CS
Dumplings are good
If you ask me there shouldn't be any English dubbing, there instead should be Russian VO and English closed captions/subtitles. This way you preserve the character atmosphere 100%
And you save lotta money
Ayo, I'm an experienced free stalker now!!!
But they already confirmed theres eng dub right?
However since because of deaf people...
You need to have both
?
If they do it like I mentioned, it'll be bad for deaf people
I mean...
Not really deaf people, wrong use of words
I think you know what I mean
not really
Blind/deaf people
deaf people wouldn't hear voices
You need to have both VO and text to let everyone enjoy the game no matter if they have disabilities or not
Yeah yeah I put it wrong @noble stirrup
You'd think blind people don't play such games
Though they do, I don't know how
😄
the only thing I know is that some people hate reading and unironically listen to every dialogue in a game even if it has subtitles and is skippable
Very well true
usually reading is faster than listening
But some of us are dialogue whores if you will
I hope the dialogue isn't as wordy as it was in Clear Sky
You mean as simple - long or complex - short?
in SOC you have relatively short phrases and can't ask too many questions
and answers tend to be similarly short
And those give the impression you're not talking to a real human rather some robot
in CS, every unique character has a monologue stored for you
I mean, some sentences are way too simple/generic
and you can ask unique characters a lot of random stuff
Gives you the impression there isn't so much effort put into giving the dialogues real deep feel
It's how I see it
SOC was much wordier in early builds
they changed dialogues to be more to the point for the release, and Marked One doesn't really have a personality of his own in the game as he is supposed to be the vessel for the player
Yeppers
CS and COP were made by a mostly different team of people apparently, and it is noticeable in the tone
even the voiced lines became more exaggerated
Let's hope the English localization isn't as bad as SoC's
Cause comparing it to the Russian one, it's fairly bad
You can instantly tell they had hired some random Ukrainian company to do it
Hey! Has anyone experienced crashes in stalker anomaly? Since my driver crashes sometimes when I play it. [Got an amd 570rx]
DirectX 10 and 11 tend to do that on AMD cards, well, at least on mine. Usually only in mods though, but had one crash in each CS and COP as well.
Another thing I failed to mention in the context of localization
Did you ever fix it gr1nie?
Isn't it weird for some people to have the American gang accent with certain NPCs?
Why the heck do this....
Btw is there a big graphical diffrence between dx 10 and dx 9?
the only thing that stopped it for me was playing with a DX 9 render
It may fit bandits somehow but everyone else?!
Like this here
That ain't good, Marked One, ain't good at all... You understand how much we need 'em, don'tcha?
This is one of the Barman's lines
Doesn't fit his character at all
The Italian wasn’t that bad
no
bro the reason i keep replaying CS is because of the ENglish dub
it's jus tso epic
international gamers probably don't notice this, but since Anomaly uses Russian voices from Call of Pripyat, some of the idle lines that stalkers say at campfires don't fit southern locations like Cordon and up to Radar.
Anyone know how to multiple mods into one stalker anomaly? Since the mods I download say I need to drop them in to the stalker folder and replace stuff.
Italian fanbase is perhaps like 5% of the community, anyways
Even 5% sounds like a bit much tbh
Make it 2 then
hello I have a question about the true ending, when do I talk to the guide? someone said after deactivating the brain scorcher, but a youtuber said after doing an X18 quest
go to the wiki
read
no
it's so simple though
just read the key idea
idk i haven't played SoC, forgor most of it's lore
Reason: Bad word usage
after Yantar
ok
misery downloaded, time to torture myself
misery so ez
@solid dome OP is pretty great right? 😏 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8x6F4VbTfI
ZRP
literally the worst mod ever
it changes a lot of good things in the game
the ui
the graphics
lighting
is it standalone or a mod for soc?
eh?
ogsr is literally 4gigs
what's up with people coming here and saying ZRP revamps their entire game from the ground up 🤔
how is it a mod for soc
schizos
if you think that ZRP changes good things, you better not touch mods that actually change good things
which is every other mod pretty much
Final Update is another bug fix that's even less intrusive afaik
what's ZRP?
ZRP is a bug fixing mod
Every faction has bad people
Stalkers aren't exception
Also Tremor's case is understandable. He wasn't responsible that he was born with that disease, was he?
He was rather a victim of circumstances than a full time villain tbh
But regarding bandits, they literally had concentration camp during CS events which is f'd up on another level and not excusable
Speaking of Loners, I like how CoP didn't portray them as goody-two-shoes who are all on the same team.
They're actually believable as people who aren't affiliated with any faction.
Привет вам англоязычное комьюнити!
Mfw I'm still getting notifications of Moderator pings
ZRP is zone reclamation project?
Sorry?
5%? I thought was the 1%. I don’t know why, this kind of games are so much hated here. Here they know only cod and fifa.
I shot the number randomly
1% makes sense
I'd say it's even below that tbh
With over 15 million fans, 1% would be 150000, and idk if 150k Italians play Stalker, but who knows
Hey, does anyone know how to install dead zone (anomaly)
If there’s 50k fans, is enough for me. Like I said this is not that kind of game that actually a normal Italian guy can appreciate.
But for me the reason is also because the first trilogy came out only on pc. Most of my friends had only consoles at the time. I myself I know this franchise thanks to a friend that had the first Stalker into his Nvidia GeForce 8800Gt. Good times
Do you guys think stalker 2 will have factions you can join?
I feel like they answered but I can't remember, think it was something about being able to side with one but not directly join? Idk
Guys how do you even survive in stalker?
I am playing stalker anomaly for the first time and keep dying EVERY SINGLE TIME
When doing the hunting for boars mission
I keep getting 1 shotted by everything and everytime I get smacked my weapon disappears
The bleeding affect is TO MUCH
What DO I DO
did you play the vanilla games first?
cause you're not playing Stalker, youre playing some random dudes' mod
same
im tryna find the code to some door in x 18
Y'know what, that's very true. And, well, I guess Anomaly is for us who have kinks for frustration.
@knotty sedge no because this version is free but the main problem I am having is with AI
theyre too OP
I kill 2 boars ok
I run in circles but they always catch up to you and 1 shot you even in easy Tourist mode
And when you lose stamina
1 creature comes at you and manages to 1 shot you
The human ai are fun too kill but the bleeding affect is way too much
@finite dragon can you send link?
holup
yeah, you should definitely play the vanilla games before messing with any mods
warning: you will passout
Play the original games first
I have a friend that want to try it, and he have finished the game with the Autumn Aurora 2.1, so my advice is to start with Shadow of Chernobyl +AA 2.1 and delete the Russian files from the mod for restore you’re own language. He enjoy the game a lot, but you need to be careful, you need to make only one quest for time because the game will crash if there’s a lot of quest active in the pda, especially after red forest.
I know

Because you are strelok from the future
mark my nuts
Messer is better
im tryna help him get cracked stalker
Cracked ?
You woke up the wrong person
yes
It costs 2 euros here
Its 5 eu just buy it

Wtf
i think they dont have a credit card
I have no energy but trust me I would beat you up
After a nap
In my trash

Scar already beaten yours
Kinda hot

But scar became the Chief of monolith faction after CS events ?
Not known tbh
Either dead or Monolith'd
Less likely alive, but even if he's still alive then his nervous system would be very damaged
He is brain dead
No piracy here

Shut
Shut me the up now
And if you don't have money to buy Stalker, then you don't belong on the internet, since someone is still paying for the internet you use
Never buy Strelok!
lmao skill issue
Okay I had it coming
im tryna find the goddamn code for lab x18
HoW?
First code is 1243 and second one 9524
i tried em
didnt work really
Anomaly?
The fact is that you can find a person in Pripyat that have the same favorite gun as scar. And the description says that is the monolith’s Chief.
zA mOnOlIt
Him having a Vintar can't prove that. There are hundreds if not thousands of people in the Zone
Surely some people can like the same gun
Charon is probably some skilled member who managed to hecome w chief. Doubt that he's Scar tho
Become a*
I hope that S2 have some text file like the first SoC
It’s fun to read all the things from the zone. It’s like the lore in Dark souls or similar
originally there were supposed to be descriptions in your PDA, of the characters you encounter in Stalker
We'd be good if we even have the Encyclopedia again
You never know what they'd decide
Also neat avatar there, @noble stirrup Prison Break fan too?
All the Strelok’s note on his PDA and the description of the Enemies pda
been a while, only watched it when it was relevant
Abruzzi gang tho
I hope that also the game came out the 8th December
But I doubt
Join the Doubters, the brand new faction consisting of people who share the same doubtliefs...

We need to create this news faction 
We're the one that been to the center and saw everything. all is a lie
no Sytianov no party 😤
I'm saying here
If modding happens the way it should, I'm making a mod replacing Duty with Doubters
For the fun of it
I'll even do a special emblem for em, special occasion

Someone plese tell me how to install dead zone
Anybody got a list of mods that have english translations?
Hi, what is the best weapons mod i can get for cop?
gunslinger
^
Look I ried stalker and this game aint for me
I keep dying when I dont have a chance to do anything to prevent my death
I love hard games but I hate those that put you in a predicament and then its all about luck from there
I honesty do not know what to do
For every obstacle there needs a way out and you have to find it
But in stalker theres no way out of nothing and you lose everything
What do you guys dod in order to survive cause I dont see a way to
what game are you playing?
What game are you playing?
Stalker anomaly
that explains it
STALKER Anomaly is a mod, it's not an original game, play the trilogy, start from buying STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl on Steam or GOG
It's on sale
STALKER Anomaly is not even near to what STALKER really is
But why?
I gotta wait till money comes in cause I wanna get the pack
But is it easier or does it give you a chance to survive encounters
Gameplay balance okay
But does it have ways to survive encounters
Cause in anomaly I keep getting ambushed and 1 shotted
And weapons keep disappearing whene I get hit
Is it the same with the regular ones
In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Soviet authorities established an 'Exclusion Zone' around, but a second explosion hit the reactor in 2006, creating The Zone as we know it – dangerous place, filled with mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cor...
$5.99
20834
82
It actually cost less than 5€
It's on sale
Yeahh#
Anomaly sucks
I have like Dozens of hours on the anomaly and the base games and
Based opinion
Original games are more enjoyable to play
indeed
@fresh spindle
Again does the regular trilogy games give you a chance to survive encounters?
What
Wdym survive encounters
Like what kind of encounters
The original games give you actual reasons to fight people instead of “loot”
I cant even progress 1 mile outside of the rookie village without getting 1 shotted by everything and once I get hit I bleed to death
@soft ice boars, dogs
Zombies I can deal with but humans are an issue cause of the dumb bleeding affect from bullets
Just, buy Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and you will see what we mean @fresh spindle
The original games don’t have zombies lmao
