(What is vrs?)
oh screw off
yeah, nothing else hopefully 
I've got no idea what you're talking about
other guy just mentioned some politics thing, don't mind it
Hello everyone! good to find a discord for Stalker finally, I'm pretty new to these games Lol, starting with Anomaly was probably a bad idea.
I'd be inclined to agree, but welcome nonetheless
yhea it was,if you have any question about the games,be sure to ask
welcome, and yeah, it was a bad idea
@zealous mirage I like your About Me, btw. I'm much the same way :^)
people ask me "What kinda games do you play?" and I just sweat a little bit
Well I've gotten the hang of it after much trials and tribulations and fired up SOC yesterday to get the real experience. Am I wrong or are the main games alot less simmy/hardcore? The only mods I have installed for it were the starter pack and community bugfix, so it's as close to vanilla as possible.
You're absolutely correct
And thank you! I'm all over the place when it comes to genres lol
Anomaly is a modpack that is the product of many generations of mutations and tweaks
yes,the real games are a lot less on the survival side,for todays standards anyway,it never was meant to be a hardcore experience
It assumes that you are a veteran of the series, and was created to entertain those with hundreds of hours
That's what I thought. I guess i'm pleased that i've managed to get as far as I have in Anomaly then. Lol. Apparently I tried climbing the mountain with flip flops on.
You're seeing the product of the hardcore fans of the community making something they would enjoy :^)
You've got grit, at least
well as long as they dont pass it for the real thing Im happy they get waht they wanna play
If you like that, feel free to try out Autum Aurora on your SoC install if you want a slightly more hardcore polished experience
Though I can never argue against a vanilla playthrough
Id say to play vanilla first time around,or at least very lite ZRP mod
Well So far I love both of them for different reasons. It's nice to fire up SoC and be able to scoot around the map alot faster and not be completely stomped by everything and be relentlessly broke. lmao
My favorite Vanilla+ experience is Memories of the Zone, have you heard of it?
never played it
heard of it
never gave it a look
I haven't, looking over the amount of mods for the base game was bewildering, and the most I could gather was that you didn't want to mess with the vanilla experience too much if you've never played it before.
The nice thing about MotZ is that it's a 64 bit engine and it gives graphical increases that are faithful to vanilla, without ever touching the gameplay
Oh really? would you recommend I try it?
well maybe,still,if its your first time I'd say a vanilla experience would be good,but I might try this
Yeah, if you're not too far into your playthrough and you're okay starting over
It updates the audio engine too, better Spatial audio and properly functioning EAX
you could just use the OpenXray project
It's using the OGSRx64 engine
well
It's good, I can swear by it
its only for CS and COP tho
Yea i'm not that far into it. Stalker actually inspired me to start a twitch and youtube, so for the past few days i've been trying to set all that stuff up and figure things out. You're assistance would be appreciated! I don't think I have Clear Sky though, are they still on sale?
it's bad to install MotZ for a first playthrough
like I said
MotZ is a global overhaul of the game by that point
OGSR engine makes hundreds of changes to the original
The version used in MotZ should be almost identical to vanilla
I did a playthrough of Vanilla and MotZ concurrently to compare the two, and there was no difference I could find
(unless you add optional add-ons)
weather, hud, weapon models, zrp is added (which also makes many dumb changes to vanilla, like literally adding dialogues and false lore), etc
It plays the same
if he wants to play SoC, he should play SoC. Otherwise, go ahead and try MotZ, it's definitely a good mod, but not SoC
Well right now I just have Starter pack installed for SoC
its not basically SoC
oh god
The artstyle doesn't change direction, and there aren't mechanical differences as far as I know
starter pack is even worse than MotZ
in the sense that i adds mechanics that aren't supposed to be in SoC
sleeping bags, weapon repair, etc
Is it? Man. Lol. I thought it was just bug fixes from the description.
who needs a starter pack when you can just kill everything with the starter pistol
even the two most faithful "bug fixing only" for the series, as are ZRP and SRP, still change vanilla in some drastic ways, ZRP more than SRP
there's no escape when installing any mod, you just won't get the same product
SRP even "fixes" some purposefully added mechanics, mistaking them for bugs
what were those again?I forgot
I don't know if I'd say "drastic," I don't even know what they'd significantly change
What dialogue lines
One example is your faction leaving the enemy base in CS after the factions war is finished, making it start all over again. It is intentional game design decision already documented in desdocs.
Sometimes you can't know how to fix an bug because there is not enough info in the game files. You know of the bug, but you do not know what was supposed to be the right behaviour.
Wolf saying he will give you a weapon, Arnie saying where your stuff is after an arena fight, Wolf saying he and Bes are friends, and Bes saying where is the stash with 1000 rounds of 9x19, which the player was supposed to discover by himself
there are even more
Interesting. Is there a resource for where this is documented in detail?
i don't think so, but there is a reddit post where natvac replies and aknowledges the issues
Cloned Skies?
pretty sure either natvac or decane promised to make some of these non-vanilla changes optional, but i don't remember which one of the two nor where did they say it rn
Final Update may be less intrusive than ZRP, though it's based on the Russian version
I'm looking at these changes, and still I don't think that these are drastic changes
Even SurDno admits they aren't radical
Reading the replies to the Reddit comment, they're reasonable
he says that even minor changes are for second playthroughs only, and i agree with that
I'm not such a purist
I don't assume that others are going to have multiple playthroughs
If they get frustrated or confused and stop playing, that's worse than a couple of dialogue changes
But that's my opinion
you clearly aren't, and most don't even finish the first playthrough
i like to spread truth when i can
I don't like when they change mechanics or radically alter storyline
especially when people say reclamation projects are "just" bugfixes
Those are for second playthroughs
most players don't really get that it's a purposeful mechanic, from what I've seen
yea, a lot don't
most players won't also bother with faction wars
you can kill all stalker groups who are in the way of Monolith and let Monolith control all smarts in the Zone up to Cordon
Monolith Victory
Screw Monolith. They are like the WHO, doing nothing productive.
can you play stalker in vr?
POLISH
🤮

for the extra cheeki breeki
need help fellow stalkers
i am unfortunately here to ask the forbidden generic question of 'muh immersion'
what is the most realistic and immersive and hardcore stalker mod, standalone or not, also the newest at the same time
misery is kind of old and deprecated but then again theres stalker anomaly which aesthetically is way more gloomy and happy
The most immersive one still remains Vanilla
Or Gunslinger CoP
Or you can mod CoC, but it's not immersive as vanilla or Gunslinger
vanilla is EXTREMELY easy

If you really want the hardcore then try Oblivion Lost Remake @strong radish
does it have tons of content
i got a swag loadout in misery in 6 hours of playtime
never died
the problem is that
well, kind of, yeah
well whats the mod with the most content then (in general), voiding the categories i have set for my search
like what mod contains the biggest content update
it says last updated in 2018
it doesnt look attractive
i played misery just because it looks like iraq

Y'know, graphics isn't everything
If you want something with an high graphics you either go outside or wait for STALKER 2
Graphics isn't a main when we talk about STALKER trilogy and such
how is this man
the marshes of misery look like the marshes of tikrit
i always felt the original games graphics held up very well. Like HL2
try playing something like System Shock 1 and then complain about visuals getting in the way lol
AREA,it sucks,but,its what youre looking for,why would you even wanna play AREA
whats the problem with area?
its too realistic for the sake of realism,youll probably get stuck on a loop of quicksaving with a enemy close and everytime you quicksave quickload time passes and you recieve a loss in health,stamina,thirst and hunger,so youll get stuck in a loop of trying to heal yourself,getting killed,reloading,youre worse off than you were,and backpacks and everything have hard animations,which is an awful decision since eveytime you want to see whats in the backpack youll be locked in a needless animation
its just,needlesly complicated
AREA sucks man
it has a kind of bad atmosphere too
its way too shiny and greeny
misery got the atmosphere right
it was very depressive as it should have been
is there any alternatives to area? think of like misery like
huh...
i hate mods where its gloomy and all happy
I mean,anomaly is the evolution of call of misery
i want a grimdark world
i actually enjoyed A.R.E.A quite a bit more than some of the more hardcore anomaly distros out there
some of the drink / eating systems were tedious but legit experience otherwise
its needless all of that,I play stuff like Ground Branch and SWAT 4,I would say I enjoy realism,but AREA was just too much needless stuff tbh,like I said,its not really smth I would waste my time on
bc it is
misery is aptly named lol
it streamlined a lot of things,and yet it still has too much
is there any grimdark graphics mods for anomaly
Have anyone played road to the north
It's meh imo
Maybe I should take a look at RTTN
Ok so I just got SoC. When I approached the car park with Wolf’s men, there were no bandits; I restarted the game since I wasn’t so far into it.
When I went to meet Wolf’s men for the second time, they weren’t in the grassy field.
Are these bugs or something?
I really recommend it yeah
It feels really balanced and it never feels aimless. And the zone always feels hostile like it could kill you any second
That sounds like a bug yeah
Maybe get ZRP or something
ZRP?
Reason: Bad word usage

accuracy of the guns in CS is pretty bad (at least at the beginning) xD
can anyone recommend some mods for better gameplay?
Pure stalker experience
Hello, am new to the Stalker series and recently finished all 3 games
finished them all on master difficulty with the only mods used were ZRP (vanilla only) and SRP for SoC and CS. I'm very happy to have experienced it all
Chad
Congrats!
Upgrade your gun I heard it fixes this
yea i thought it was quite good
Controller?

finished pripyat should I replay pripyat (missed a couple missions that affected the ending) or try clear sky or chernobyl?
are you running an antivirus in the background perchance?
Fun fact. Loxotron aka the guy, who leaked the builds, hacked the servers of GSC back in 2008 with his friend. He was stealing everything, which might be interesting for the public, until one of the GSC admins noticed that. They had a convo, Loxotron said that they are just interested in the history of development and nothing else. They became friends somehow and Loxotron simply started to get the builds and cut content directly.

Since the delay announcement, has there been anything else? I know we were sort of promise some gameplay around this time?
nothing so far
beautiful
no promise was made officially
"sort of". Promises this, promises that. Still disappointing.
the devs do throw a lot of NDA rocks over at #🔍┃ask_gscarchive
Just be patient, no need to push them to the point to rush the game out and end it with a disaster
Wait even if it takes them 2 more years to finish it
he expects gameplay
Hello guys. Are there any up to date mosd like Wear Your Goddamn Helmet Mod 1.1 for Call Of Pripyat ?
NDA my beloved

Any info on STALKER 2's requirements?
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has changed dramatically after the second massive explosion in year 2006. Violent mutants, deadly anomalies, warring factions have made the Zone a very tough place to survive. Nevertheless, artifacts of unbelievable value attracted many people called S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, who entered the Zone for their own risk striving to ma...

CS is literally unplayable
people are bullet sponges
and I die from just one bullet
Wait till you get to the walking grenade launchers called the Monolith
Lack of skill
Not what i'm talking about
Don't you?
You need to get an armor like CS-1 Body Armor or SEVA
Getting some OP weapon also helps
That's why update on weapons got added
Wish it was also in SoC tho, tbh
it's the stalker experience
Is it?
From my experience I haven't felt the same way
combat was kind of the same to me from soc to cs
they're all unusable unless you spend thousands on upgrading
In fact I disliked gunplay in SoC the most
the pistols got better accuracy
bro what
or maybe it's just me
Guns like Vintar are already OP
i still got the suppressed makarov bc I am not using that abomination
And don't need any update on the first place
So it kinda depends on the weapon you're using
Vintar BC my beloved
but bro
when enemies use shotguns
they're like sniper rifles
when in using a makarov
that's true
it's like a nerf gun
they can probably snipe you from half way across the map
yeah thats infuriating
even the sawed off shotguns which is insane to me
Enemy's accuracy on Master diffuculty overall is pretty damn good
Especially their accuracy with granades
Skill issue
Rip, skill issue
it really took me a while to keep playing cs because of how easily the enemies can kill you
especially shotgun enemies
Idk, I just did headshots and everything was pretty easy peasy
lmao
Same
Who doesn't tbh
Enemies were never that much of an issue for me, ngl
Maybe just Vist at the Cordon during my first playthrough but that's all
just how
🤷♂️
probably my biggest struggle in cs was at the beginning in the great swamps
because there's almost no cover
only the bushes
There's plenty of structures though
true
So there is cover lol
compared to other places not that much cover
You have to be capable of using your brain and looking for stashes before doing attacking a base with just a Makarov lmao
No, there won't be anything but another delay
You get a shotgun as soon as you kill literally anyone
Past that you're set to empty the swamps
TOZ is literally OP
I did but nothing is useful
fr
Well yeah, but in the swamp there are lots of good stashes which you can get only there
+the Veles and CS-1
Look harder lmao, or ask to the barman in the CS base
Swamps can set you up with enough stuff to survive till end game tbh
Exactly
Like you can finish the game with the CS-1
Also the As Val
Let us know if you need any help
@amber stone if you'll manage to find TOZ use it
Like with getting the CS-1 or the secret Veles
is it like 2 bullet long shotgun?
Yeah
the hunting rifle?
That it is, yes
alright I might buy it from the trader
Bruh just kill someone
You can find it in stashes
Save the money for the CS-1
Bruh
You'll need it
Might not even be necessary since some of the renegades can have it
Although it would be in pretty bad condition (in case you're playing on Master)
Pro tip, get 15k Rubles, max out your reputation with the CS faction, don't leave the Swamps, return to the trader and buy a CS-1 armour
And you'll be set
^
If you leave the swamps, your reputation will reset and the armour will cost like 23k
CS-1 is armor with the most bullet protection also
And you'll get clapped by Vova
Even maxed SEVA has less bullet protection
so if I improve my rep
I can get better trades
Yes
I'll keep that in mind
Yea but this is the most unique one I'd say, since if you leave the swamps you won't get the lower price even if you max out your rep
He will soon


And if he is angry now, he'll smash his screen later
so look for stashes, don't leave the swamps and max out your rep
His pfp fits him rn ngl 
that's probable
lmao, for real
be nice yall lol
Ngl tho, for beginners Vova Vist was a pain in the ass
wish me luck
Pretty much, lemme send you a screenie with a good stash real quick
Tell us when you will leave the Swamps, i want to know your reaction @amber stone
No
i mean
The train bridge one?
to be fair it depends on where he leaves the swamps
sure

@amber stone
There is a broken fence in there, get past it, go down under the bridge into a small underground tunnel and there will be a good detector behind a mattress for you
http://prntscr.com/26oo0mk
I found a toz
😔
You can find Scar's Vintar from the trailer in the Swamps as well, but it's broken
You basically have a mini sniper already
that actually makes me think
Are you a sadist or something? LOL
was scar in the swamps when he was leading those scientists?
Yes
for some reason i always thought they were somewhere in the cordon
why what's wrong
I meaaan, i have stuff for that too :)
You'll see
I have a video for that if you'd be kind enough to post it here 
Not really. they were somewhere in the swamps
mabye it was the train that threw me off, i forgot there was a train in the swamps
Nearby the end of it even
Send it on dm
Aite
ima start a livestream in vc if anyone wants to see me feel pain
Also the fact that they actually added Scar's cutscene Vintar in that location is pretty neat, ngl
are the scientists bodies there?
What I find weird is, that there aren't any body of those scientists
if not....
Nope
They are 100% dead, but why their corpses weren't in the Vintar location dunno
There or somewhere nearby
they're probably zombies....
no spoilers
honestly
That was in the beginning's cutscene
thats most likely lmao
You played SoC right?
If you watched it then not much of a spoilers for now
ofc
they forgor ☠️
Then I have to spoil one tiny thing for you
oh then he should know
💀
alright I'm in vc
You'll see Strelok's booty in CS😳
He did the Monolith ending

😂
He also runs like an Olympic Athlete
we already saw it in soc
takes high speed objects like a champ
Fr
you guys ready to see me scream in front of my monitor?
ion see nuthin
im in vc rn
imi wakaranai
how the hell do you enter the cs base
Using a guide or following the path
You can't unless you haven't interacted with a guide (people who can get you from 1 place to another)
But they'll cost some rubbles
I forgot about that
Btw how is the situation in Ucraina ? Is really that bad as news says?
This server ain't for politics
Especially on this sensitive topic
#makegifsvisibleonthischannel
Oh ok 👌 it won’t happen again, sorry
I suppose you tried to upgrade your weapons and use better ones along with upgraded Armor,CS isn't a hard game
maybe
I hope you didn't write an whole paragraph before getting out of the swamp

Many people would say otherwise tbh
The game is easy enuff without upgrading anything,upgrading your equipment really fleshes your playstyle out and makes you srsly a force to be reckoned with
Pretty much
where the hell are guides
PDA
They should be at different outposts (the ones you and other CS's captured)
alrighty
They also should have a blue sign thingy on them
yeah I see
Kinda looks like a blue arrow imo
i didnt think getting out of duty territory in rostok this early in the game would be hard
now im stuck at petrenko's trying to climb the damn metal
YES YES YEEEEEEES YES YES YES
Correct, plus use the semi auto mode
It helps a tonne
Better armor is mainly the key
And spam medkits
Sadly bandages doesn't heal you anymore
c4RuJNs
anyone know if there is a way to be notified when the collector edition is back in stock?
For restock you have to wait the reseller, you can also check stalker2 website or check #🖤┃s2-pre-order (only to check other resellers and if it's available in your region)
Thank you 🙂
Np
Any idea on the PC pre-order what platform it'll be on?
Steam
the major is just built different
yeah cs is unplayable
If they cancel this game I am going Ukraine to get conscripted.
shoot them in the head not hard
I have no idea what's so hard about CS for you
To finish clear sky I had to modify code and set my ak with no usure and at least 3k of damage. I have been able to finish it but every time a enemy gets an ak he was able to oneshot me with some funny out of map 🤣
E
E
Stalker 2 better have mouse and keyboard support on console, because there's no way my PC is going to handle it.
I LOVE S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I LOVE S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
i love stalking girls at night
you could and there were links to collectors on the UK,if its out of stock that I dont know
I love you too
Disc for Xbox, Steam key for PC
well,all PC versions have key's,not discs,and these keys are only for steam if thats what youre wondering for
yeah I'm familiar, just wondering why they would not allow more pre-orders on PC vs other consoles here
unless there was only an allocated amount and I've missed it 
supply and demand most likely
Was mentioned that there should be more in the future
ah nice to hear I'll keep an eye out then
do i really have to beat stalker and then mess with mods?
thankfully it looks like new graphics cards are going back into production so mabye the delay gives everyone more time to find a reasonable card to run stalker2
nobodys forcing you, but its highly recommended
im just gonna walk up to the cnpp
Yes
mods are optional
appreciation of the vanilla games greatly enhances the atmosphere of the games and their stories imo
hell even the buggyness is a part of the zone
The vanilla games aren't even that buggy
well i already know what stalker soc feels like so ima just mess with teh others
lololololo
Have you played through SoC?
yes
i didnt beat it though
ho
they arent but they can suprise you when they happen in the steam version lol
iirc the only super buggy messed up copies were the original physical copies of SoC
Yes
before patches n such
Unpatched SoC and CS were pretty buggy
well thats what patches are for
actually ive been thinking about something story related that might be related to the earlier versions
||is the fight in the pryprat stadium in SoC a part of the story if you talk to the people needed to get the true endings? or was it just cut from later versions?||
mine just had a cutscene and then boom i was at the cnpp
It was totally cut from SoC
aww
curious question, is it in anomaly?
what
just as a place to visit
Yeah, you can walk around the stadium I think
Wouldn't really know tbh
I get easily bored when playing anomaly
there is a lot of grinding and housework to be done in between activities
i'd say its a criticism but i kinda enjoy it at times, adds to the rp/atmosphere aspects
i've been wanting to go back to vanilla SoC to finish the story correctly and CS for warfare purposes lol
I'm gonna be replaying the trilogy again myself
Tho I'm gonna spice things up and change the language to russian
Since I can understand it and kinda speak it
i wish i could at least understand it at times
i know im missing tons of campfire stories and stalker memes
Or wait few years for the actual Bulgarian localization and ramp up the challenge

There is one
It's horrific though
it took me so long to actually complete SoC
Six more years for the last 2 titles
Heh

when i first started playing i went off on random adventures so much
I can usually play through SoC in a couple of days
the most hilarious part
Can't imagine how much dialogue HoC will have
Im sure youll have fun translating it 
If SoC has around 150 thousand, I'd say 300 is fair assumption
You bet I will do it if GSC gives people the means to
you know that truck in the red forest/radar thats super irradiated? I got the "this area is too irradiated for your protection" warning and thought it meant i needed a SEVA suit to even be in the area
so i went back to do a bunch of missions or find a scientist to loot for one
its UE4,you should be able to do LOADS of it
thinking the entire area was like that (which i was partially right lol)
but its just super bad in pockets
Though I'd say CS and CoP have much more simplified dialogues so far easier to do a translation of them compared to SoC
they dfinatly made CS and CoP more english friendly imo
some things in english made the context a bit better
some made them sound kinda.... wierd though
UE5*
i really like the monolith prayer in english, but i definatly prefer their battle chatter in ru
yhea that,I forgot thanks
No worries dude
Anyways
Last time I replayed SoC I noticed that the english translation was kinda wack
Almost like playing a russian machine translated mod
I have made a discovery
hot take, if mercs get put in HoC they should get american, british, and other western european countries to voice act them in russian/ukrainian
i wanna hear what different accents sound like in those languages
finally got out of petrenko's place that took forever jesus christ
I'm doing translation differently than most people
I doubt
petrenkos place?
that would be sick
how do you do it then krezzin
you can go to petrenko early in the game before lab x16
jump over some debris
the hard part is getting out
yea its already cannon that they speak with western accents since they're foreigners
you have to do some zone magic to get out of there
I mean
A lot of people have different accents in the OG trilogy
Ashot and Vano have georgian accents in the russian dub
Mercenaries also have an accent
But I can't really define it
Usual people snag the English string files, replace whatever they replace and put them files back in the game. Me? I prefer to have the option to manually select the language within the game; gives you freedom to change between languages with a single mouse click instead of the file replacement fuss
oooh
Not every game lets you do that, thank god Stalker does
@hazy helm Meaning I don't replace any files that came with the game. No harm done.
so,you go by each of the string's,manually translate and modulate them
thats a lotta work
i cant even remember where i got most of my 9x39 from
probably bought from the barman or had so much of it from using 5.56 weps until late game
😄
afaik you can only get 9x39 from barkeep after x16
ah
ofc there's the free 9x39 at freedom base
i wouldnt have needed it until pryprat stuff
and vintar bc
on the eastern barracks roof?
Though in the end you have all the required files. You install em, you uninstall em whenver you wish - no need to reinstall the game itself if something breaks
im pretty sure i got my vintar from either high level duty or random stalker lol
and yea vintar is op af
5.56 weps with scopes are so underrated tho
as long as its an ar15 its good imo
but they wear out really damn quickly in my experience
L85 and G36 are🤮
specially the TRS
i was just so accurate with it i didnt use much ammo

hitscan😂 👌
favorite 5.56 is the sig
or if i did it didnt have a scope and i probably had like a Vintar or something so i didnt need it
streloks in CoP came in handy
SIG and G36 for life
i never got to find strelok's sig in cop
first time i saw an FT200 was in the cnpp lol
the FT 200M is pretty cool
i never saw it before that so i didnt even notice it was in game
Yeah, it's the only place you can get it in vanilla SoC
i see
its just not.... any better than anything else
especially for the lengths you seem to have to go to get one
sounds pretty hard to do,good luck with it then,Im sure youre doing a banging job
you'll simply have something better so having one is just a waste of weight
and the sarcophagus
Doing gods work here actually. Shaping up pretty good to ditch the concept. My biggest goal in this case is having the trilogy and ST2 done in one package - if ST2 delivers.
damn,you gonna slave away
remember to not crunch
Nah 2 hours a day and you're making good progress
Never rush things like that
Waste of time if you do
Passion > quality > results
That's how it is
quite the great schedule
hope everything goes great,I'd love to see the project finished
Initially I planned to do it for my sake, may end up putting it online but knowing how people never respect other's work, I'm not sure I will
If I don't change my mind during the course
😄
It's not a bad gun tbh
But there are way better guns than this one
what's everyone's favorite vehicle mods
I don't have one in specific. I do have an idea about such modification!
A 3-seater broom, powered by V8 engine done and configured by Nitro...
Come on
Won't you ride that improvised rocket bike, @vernal magnet ....
Swifly moving through the most dangerous parts of the Zone and all
ill have Cardan give it a seal of approval
then ill kill myself on it 🤘 
I downloaded all the ShoC cutscenes onto my school computer so I could watch them and simp for Strelok while in class
how can anyone simp for zero character man 
i am a fellow Ghost simp, he doesnt even show up in the game (his corpse ouch) or in the cutscenes, so i guess i am even worse than @remote crow hhhh 

He is so handsome 😩
imagine STALKER 2 intro cutscene begins with Sidorovich eating chicken in 4K
cring bro cring
cuz he do be dead doe yeah
shhh! i can use my brain and just imagine how he was before he dropped dead like some idiot 💀
strelok is better
cuz he aint DEAD

I MEAN I CANT ARGUE WITH THAT, but i like my men with hair- biggest roast ever nah i love strelok too! they both are nice! you know what? all of them are! i cant choose whos my fav character
i can

wait how do you know he got long hair doe
plus wouldnt his hair be all naaasty cuz of lack of showers
Strelok did have the most banger lines
if you only knew, where i've just been and what i saw
his models definitely has more hair than strelok
i always thought the Strelok VS Scar was oddly close to Gordon VS Shephard
Especially with the chase sequence at CNPP
scar really wanted his nice botty man
tell me they didnt rip that right outta HL
yes! not like Major Helicopter (Degtyarev) who says stuff like "Stingray 3 had engine failure in both.... engines" ah yes! where else should the engine faulire be 💀 
lmao true
deggy kinda boring and sucky like fr he is boring but good looking yeah
COP had a much weaker plot for the time that your running down each chopper
that's why he's the best protagonist
Strelok felt cooler because of the amnesia and mystery and high stakes of the plot
omg! now that u mentioned it, there are alot of similarities
strelok is literally best
strelok is the main villain of the games
Kinda?
yeah, im still not over the fact THAT the plot was basically something we players already knew from Clear Sky- ouch xD
exactly thats based
why would you say something so brave yet so controversial?
not just the zone, probally the entire planet
don't need to do that
i guess the real villains were the friends we made along the way? wait,
Cuz I don't really care about what you say

gotta love short men! (yes hes tiny, no one can change my mind, hes looking at everyones chest)


short men are kings
Strelok is a literal manlet

im glad you all agree!
ok stickman
Yeah
Strelok truly is a stickman
Glad you agree with me
The dude looks like he's 50 kilos
He's very skinny fr
u know that i will literally murder you
degtyarev is the best character because he's the only one who can be morally good, as his motivations have nothing to do with the zone, he was just assigned a mission and he has to carry it through
thats my hot take for today
Maybe tomorrow
yeah u prepare for another ASS KIKIN
i dont know if thats morally good as much as morally absent
still, morally absent is better than being morally bad right
yup, like damn his wrists? in the one cutscenes, they look so thin :c
Ngl the only true morally good person in the zone is probably Vano
he is wholesome
Yep
He most likely dealt with a lot of shady stuff even before CoP began
what about Doctor? and his doggo? :c
And was already experienced stalker before
and guide
but we all know strelok is the best bimbo tho
I thought Strelok had good intentions
Depends on a way you look at it
He understood that freedom of choice outweighed the C-con's goals
Does he really tho
He did speed up Zone's extension
and that C-con was inherently flawed
He does what he is told the whole game
the Zone itself is a consequence of man playing God
I mean, CC at least still tried to keep noosphere energy under control afterall
yeah f everyone lmao f ups the zone more
did he? i though he is just a stubborn af, who wanted to see whats the secret is
how isnt that based
Strelok by destroying them made matters way worse
Because literally no one could keep that energy in check
But overall it was a matter of time
Once he understood who he was after speaking with Doc, if we go by the true canon ending, then yes, i think it was noble. C-con did not have the right to govern humanity.
wait- was it said by c-con that it would make it worse if they die? or? i cant remember
Zone getting extended WAS meant to happen regardless
he even shows humility right at the end i dont know if what i did was right, but im still alive, and i guess for that, i should be thankful
Because in the end even CC's representative asked Strelok to join them
Only cause they couldnt kill him first lol
10 years is quite a lot of time
Especially for the zone
Anything could have happened
yeah we cant kill u cuz we are weak lil pissbabies so we ask u to join cuz we are scared
Nonethless he also said that they were struggling to keep the Zone in check
no no, i was more refering to strelok, like strelok strelok! everyone was like "we cant go to the center" strelok with his boyfriends just said "hahha yeah no we do!" and BAMMMMM big blowout! and blowouts regularly happening bc of it!
Which proves that Zone getting extended only was a matter of time
That was the failure of the C-con who created the zone through its experiments in the first place. Strelok just eliminated them before they could do anything worse
what.. he isnt gay
huh
and going by canon COP, C-con destruction did not negatively affect the outcome of the zone
Explain daily emissions them
u get more artifacts lol ez money
CoP's emissions are literally happening every day
well the blowouts were the C-conscience attempting to stop anybody entering the center and finding the zones secrets. thats not Streloks fault per say. thats on C-con
While they were happening rarely in 2 previous games
the blowouts came from the Generators and the increased frequency of blowouts makes sense when you consider more people had entered the CNPP
after the scorcher shut down it was pretty wild
Emissions were still a thing even after CC was gone tho
but this is always what bugged me about COP compared to SOC
the generators still exist. even in S2
hence skif ducking from a blowout
in the Skif Trailer
Fair point
Omg i never noticed that
While "Strelok" sounds and looks much intriguing (and natural to the plot), "Skif" doesn't fill the same boots
Yes! They still triggered them! But right not their fault, they had no idea that it would happen
don't know that yet
right. they just happened to get there first
i dont dislike "Skif", but i agree it doesnt ring the same
skif
Skif
It sounds like a pet name xD i hope they do cool cutscenes again like in SoC and CS!
When I hear Skif I think of my birb lol
tbh Skif sounds better for me than Strelok lol
How can you judge a character who you don't fully even know yet?
Skif sounds less cliche that Scar
Definitely
Stfu Scar is great
i think he means strictly the name itself
Even Degtyarev
its not bad but its not unique
Ahh, makes sense then
But "Strelok" gives me tingles 😩
@half glade
Yo
There will be a woman fight for Strelok 
He's mine
Gonna prepare a popcorn
hiss
U can have him, ill take ghost
Does the name have a meaning? :0
Yeahhh
CRINGE NOOOOOO NOOOOOO NO WOMEN IN THE ZONE
In North America it means like a lil flurry of snow
Or the bottom of a boat lol
almost certainly lol
"Skif" doesn't give that natural Russian feeling anyway, prolly isn't even coming out of any Russian word play too, looks latin to me
Shhh!!!
Strelok, everyone knows it means Shooter
u would have to fight me if u want strelok
and i would kill you
i would not be afraid to take your life
Maybe he was a sailor 
Matbe he's not even from Russia or Ukraine?
Character from a different country could be refreshing actually
Oh right!
I swear if GSC use less Russian-like names for Latin ones...
I mean there are npcs who are named german vacuum and ventilator so 💀
Ghost did looked like a Kazakhstan's citizen to me
Yeah yeah we did talk about this plot twist already, he was racing boats down the river
He also didn't looked like Russian or Ukrainian IMO
lmao true
try me
I mean actual names
let's go
LETS GO
come on @half glade
Also not to mention that there are probably many people from different countries in the Zone
LETS GOD DAMN GO
FIGHT ME
YEAH I WILL PUSSCAKE
Vano is literally Georgian
I WILLCMON
Ayo I asked GSC for his hand in marriage
i am mentally insane
I have over 64 pic of him on my phone
fear me
i got jumpscared by a pseudogiant
His picture is on my ceiling so I can see him when I go to bed
Oh! Yeah but i guess that strelok isnt his real name, or scar, or skif, only helicopter (degtyarev has his real name as stalker name, or atleast i the english version of the game)
bastard started going up the metal tower i was on
Wasn't Skif's name based on a book
this chat just went from zero to crack cocaine in like 35 seconds or less
The ARG facebook profile had a picture of the book
Ahhh xD
Less than 20
stfu
simp
Strelok means a shooter or gunslinger
But it's a nickname, yes. Same as Scar
u mad cope and seethe and mald
MC with an actual name is Degtyarev only
Yes i know! Those arw stalker nicknames! Just like doughnut or vacuum xD
Do you think stalkers name themselves? Or are the nicknames given?
Given I guess
||i bet you've never moaned his name||
Because there are a lot of very strange nicknames
Doubt that persom himself would give him nicknames like "Sasha Vacuum" and etc
OMFG
who said i didnt 
How did he get thay nickname i wonder 💀🇬 🇦 🇾 🏳️🌈
i have /j😩
Imagination probably
Or Freedom's drugs
may or may not be joking 😳
Can also do
dude women am i right
@half glade let's just be strelok simps together 🤝
ok how about a deal
🤨
No, keep fighting

SOC SOC YEEEEEES
I love how there are two convos happening xD one about moaning streloks name and the otuer about the stalker nicknames hhh
It B wat it B
dont worry i am not good at soc tho so it should be a fair fight
Ah yes! Do u think they just smoke wees or are they completely junkies?
IM VERY GOOD AT IT
Depends tbh
then u accept the challenge huh
Some are completely junkies while some just a light smokers
Tho only relatively character that came close to being completely junkie is Ganja
Ah yes makes sense! Also 💀 i love the fact that they had such hugeee holes in the ground in the dark valley base, i wonder how many high freedomers fell into them hhh xDDD
