Not sure what Dying Light 2 proves but the launch itself is a disaster by any means, after THREE delays - not comparable to the first game

hazy helm
#

didnt dying light release only yesterday?

solid dome
#

Yeah

coarse reef
#

dying light 2 came out in a pretty great state considering the scale of the game

#

especially when you compare it to other recent releases

solid dome
#

World wise, yeah. Tech wise - worst release by Trickland so far.

coarse reef
#

nah

#

I mean,I havent seen other games by Techland

#

and I only played Dying Light after release

edgy narwhal
#

hazy helm

#

Well I tried it with family sharing like 2 hours ago, played like 50 mins tops, had the infinite black screen issue, freezing, NPC glitches out of nowhere and the usual bugs in between - no such things with DL1 (except bugs ofc)

edgy narwhal
solid dome
#

Can't say they did better job polishing things than what they did with the first one

#

Definitely won't be buying it right now, for sure.

hazy helm
#

I expect that Dying Light 1 was a lot smaller with a lot less variables and that the size of the team might have hampered a big scale bug squashing,I didnt get that many complaints about game breaking bugs

#

I havent played DL2

#

I probably wont until some years so I cant really say anything on this regard

coarse reef
#

you need like 50 hours to 100% complete dying light 1, to 100% complete dying light 2 you apparently need several hundred hours

#

so yeah there's way more content = way more stuff to potentially break

Doesn't let them use that as an excuse for 3 delays and mediocre tech launch tho - more on this, #💬┃en_offtop

Fake textures?

You mean exactly what I thought, cause what else you can put within the game world's logic...

Skins are textures

Fake textures like blue duct tape and so on I think

worthy lagoon

Smh

solid dome
#

Lettering, visual details that make the thing look more realistic...

#

Pretty much that

worthy lagoon
#

They will include skins that will fit with the world environment, maybe like camo

#

We still haven't seen any skins, so

solid dome
#

Who knows whatsoever what they consider "within game's logic". For one, it may be artillery cannons; for others that might represent huge saucers.

tired anvil
#

You have a brain Zach, use it

#

Whilst there's weirder things in the series, it's not hard to imagine what's within logic for it

solid dome
#

I have two brains in case one of them short circuits due to the pressure of the Scorcher

#

However I can't think of anything since we never had "skins" in the series

#

Only one thing comes to mind

#

Camouflage

#

But that can make it as an upgrade option in the game itself

Doesn't make sense to be part of, say, extra content

# earnest urchin ray tracing is cringe

Lol no. Ray tracing is the single greatest visual advancement in real time graphics in Years. Watch digital foundry video on dying light 2 RT and say again that's its cringe. That bus scene is DRAMATICALLY overhauled and shows a generational leap in fidelity

earnest urchin
#

yeah but only 000.1% people can run it so

vernal magnet
#

I'm so tired of crappy ambient occlusion. Now THATS cringe where every object has black outlines like a stencil drawing

#

DL2 makes me very excited for the graphical quality of S2. This is back to 2007 when we were pushing graphics really hard again

earnest urchin
#

i dont care for graphics as long as its not potato

#

ofc its cool when games can progress etc

vernal magnet
#

Graphics are a critical component in a game basing itself off of immersion and realism

tired anvil
#

Tell that to CoP

vernal magnet
#

Even more compared to Clear Sky

#

Clear Sky's rain droplets going down game models was insane for its time and it still sticks out in my mind after all the years

#

Or the kinetics where people's feet planted according to the terrain instead of floating

#

This was all a big deal for stalker back in the day. It always pushed the technical features hard-core. Screw the mainstream

vernal magnet
#

Backpedaling off of the advanced DX10 features for a trash DX11 implementation was a bad bad choice

#

Even the multithreading support they had for DX11 was a joke

vernal magnet
# noble stirrup i don't agree on graphics ruining immersion 😤

Graphics are critical for immersion. Metro exodus enhanced pulls me I'm right away when the Raytracing causes the light to glow and then soften on the walls as the sun passes overhead. That is insane. It's that level of detail that convinces the player of the world space they are in

#

You can play half life 1 and tell me it's immersive. It's only charming now with its incredibly aged visuals. Fire up half life Alyx and the graphical fidelity with VR makes me feel like I'm really inside that world

noble stirrup
#

you have very "modern" ideas of immershun then

#

like people who play without the HUD and say it's much more immersive

vernal magnet
#

I was the same guy telling people they are stupid when quake 3 came out because they thought a dedicated GPU was a waste and too expensive and CPU's do "just fine". Lol. They never knew how wrong they would be

#

Software acceleration sucked compared to 3D acceleration. That first time playing turok? Godly. Raytracing gives me excitement for games I haven't had in a looooong time

#

People aren't thinking hard enough about why Ray tracing is the future. Consider stealth mechanics in games. If you only use RTGI you can have your light calculations coincide with the NPC awareness of the environment by tuning what levels of light they can see into.

This means that stealth becomes much more nuanced instead of the classic MGS cone of vision being the only thing dictating if you can be seen by the enemy

empty hull
#

I think some mercs speak with German or French accents, not American

#

It's actually really interesting that they paid so much attention to detail with the voice-acting. It just makes the game all the more immersive.

#

Which reminds me that some stalkers speak Surzhyk or Russian with a Ukrainian accent (mainly the bandits).

cyan cloak
#

Most likely they're NATO guys sent to the zone to study something or do a task that has a really huge impact on understanding The Zone (obviously that'll be used for NATO's purposes), the assassination and artifact hunting is just a side gig to either a, buy daily supplies, guns, ammo, etc; or b, to cover what they're doing, for example if the main study requires an artifact, they could just say a client asks for that artifact, covering what they're doing

# raw garnet ?

very unlikely that Americans would be part of the military or loner "group". Loners seem to be comprised of locals that are criminals or down on their luck willing to risk their lives for cash. Not likely some poor American dude would buy a plane ticket or something to spend weeks or months in the Zone.... but there are of course "tourists"

hey guys, i talked to doctor and now I am in the wild territory area where the barkeep is at, can I now turn off brain scorcher or do i have to go to pripyat and get secret stash?

knotty sedge
#

do the brain scorcher

#

after that you go to pripyat

frail spire
#

brain coomer first

#

uh

#

problem: IM AT PRIPYAT

knotty sedge
#

what

#

how

strong drift
#

i tried my hardest and suffered TRYING AND TRYING

#

TO GET TO PRIPYAT

#

i spent maybe four hours or so

frail spire
#

Well you done goofed

#

because you now need to back track alll the way back

strong drift
#

i do have a save file

frail spire
#

since you need the lab files

strong drift
#

the save file is after the lab files

#

im at the bar, about to give the files to barkeep

frail spire
#

then why ask?

#

if you already turned the scorcher off

#

I have a question for the real Stalker fanatics

#

What is up with the "yellow barrel" joke?

#

Never asked this before, came to my mind randomly

strong drift
#

what's the yellow barrel joke?

#

is it a joke about some yellow barrel

solid dome
#

It's mentioned at some places in the stash descriptions

strong drift
solid dome
#

Guess poor translation from Russian again

strong drift
#

lol

#

when you use Google translate to translate stuff

solid dome
#

Nope

#

It's even worser

#

Lol

noble stirrup
#

I dug up some goodies here. A clever spot for my secret stash. There's no way you'd find it on a yellow barrel.

#

this one?

solid dome
#

I mean if you use GT

solid dome
noble stirrup
#

it's located on a yellow barrel apparently

solid dome
#

Guess it means you wont find it stated in some contacts book

#

Lol

noble stirrup
#

but barrel not the same barrel

solid dome
#

Could be some brand new type of barrel

noble stirrup
#

I mean I'm not sure if it's the correct word

strong drift
#

my brain really scorches when people think yellow barrel are really funny. really really brainstorm when you think about that

worthy lagoon
#

@strong drift what game are you playing?

noble stirrup
#

the correct word is probably "tank"

solid dome
#

Yellow barrels are dangerous

solid dome
#

If you know what I mean

worthy lagoon
#

There are different

strong drift
noble stirrup
#

In Russian it says "it's on a yellow tank, very hard to find"

worthy lagoon
worthy lagoon
#

it's not that hard with the right equipment

solid dome
strong drift
#

so hold on
first talk to guide before turning off brain scorcher, go to streloks hideout
AND THEN get the documents of lab x16 and give it to barkeep, and then immediately do the turning off brain scorcher quest
then the secret stash?

worthy lagoon
#

there's a task bar for that

strong drift
#

oh

#

so do I restart the storymode for the good ending

noble stirrup
#

eh

strong drift
#

someone did tell me to talk to guide before turning off brain scorcher

noble stirrup
#

you go to the Guide after you do the Yantar part of the story, so lab X16

#

the quest is added to your PDA boy

#

I think it's after you search the body of Ghost

strong drift
#

i think yes

noble stirrup
#

if you're at the Brain Scorcher, which is at the Radar location, I believe you can still go back to Cordon and find him

strong drift
#

but I already did talk to guide
and I'm turning off brain scorcher for barkeep

noble stirrup
#

the guide gives you a task to go back to Strelok's stash

strong drift
#

which is the one in pripyat?

#

or the hideout

noble stirrup
#

hideout

#

I keep confusing them

#

but I read what you wrote earlier, you've already talked to the Doctor

strong drift
#

yes

#

i met him right as I saw the quest line to speak to guide

#

and meet doc

noble stirrup
#

so you now should have the location of the stash in Pripyat

#

in your task list

strong drift
#

yes

#

but should I do the brain scorcher first or pripyat stash

noble stirrup
#

if you've listened to the Barkeep, you're supposed to turn off the Brain Scorcher to clear the way to Pripyat for yourself and others. However... the game will continue just fine if you proceed to Pripyat without turning it off, you will receive some damage from the Psy emissions however.

strong drift
#

ok heck nah screw psi emissions

strong drift
#

hate em

noble stirrup
#

oppa gangnam style

strong drift
#

alright I got the secret stash at pripyat, where's the hidden door

#

quest says "go to hidden door to use decoder"

Does anyone know why one of the campfire guitar tracks from the game is universally called "He was a good stalker" in English? Where does the name come from?

grand pendant
modern glen
#

this might be off topic, but can you aim a gun with only one hand?

knotty sedge
#

with a handgun? yes but not ideal

#

with a rifle? barely

exotic hamlet
modern glen
#

irl

exotic hamlet
#

You can aim handguns with one hand no problem. Obviously, it's a bit harder than with two, but with training you get the hang of it. Most rifles are far too heavy to aim with one hand unless you use an arm brace instead of a stock. Even then, it's not ideal.

modern glen
#

so how i did manage to aim with one hand and still hitting the target?

exotic hamlet
#

Various factors?

#

Luck, skill, or both.

#

I just got done saying that you can do it. It's just not ideal.

modern glen
#

alright

exotic hamlet
#

I can tell you from experience that holding and aiming any weapon with both hands—properly, that is—is much easier than with one. However, learning how to shoot a pistol from one hand is a valuable skill that I need to practice more.

#

You never know when one of your arms are going to be occupied or injured.

modern glen
#

yeah

#

i wonder if we will get dual pistols in stalker 2

#

or if they will add the ability to hold two pistols at once

exotic hamlet
#

Akimbo is highly impractical and just wouldn't fit in STALKER, lol

The issue of having guns like that in the game would be ammo compatibility, from a gameplay standpoint

See: Misery

Well get some reference about the bullet itself, like picture references, design some icon and bang, you also have unique ammo for

Personally I've completed around 600-700 lines

So it's gonna be a while

Heck then you'd need 3 to 5+ years

I've been doing work on SoC itself since 2014 with huge gap to 2019 and I'm still going

rough elm
#

Hey w

#

How*

solid dome
#

A lot of breaks I guess

rough elm
#

It's already translated

#

What exactly are you changing

solid dome
#

I'm doing personal translation in my native language, not doing Russian > English, of course

#

With how bad the OG dialogues are in terms of the translation itself, takes ages to set yourself on the right path

rough elm
#

Ahhh, what language, might I ask?

solid dome
#

Bulgarian ^

rough elm
#

Have any support? It's best to work with a team on these sorts of things

solid dome
#

I may lose my sanity until I'm also done with CS and CoP

rough elm
#

Trust me, you will make mistakes

#

You need others to help keep you sane

solid dome
#

Nope. In order to keep things in sync, I do it by myself.

#

Even harder

rough elm
#

We use Google Sheets to keep it all coordinated

#

Each line is put into its own row

solid dome
#

I have my own quality standards thus I prefer to perfect it alone instead of doing tens of corrections

rough elm
#

One column for name of the line, one for the original text, one for the first translation, and one more for final revision

solid dome
#

When you kick into gear, it's pretty easy though

#

Though without serious motivation, you won't do anything

I attempted Gold once but due to the sick dialogues I couldn't figure some things until I gave up

rough elm
#

Making good progress between sending job applications and project work

#

@solid dome got an estimate - about 5147 lines of pure dialogue, give or take some

solid dome
#

What the crack

Considering SoC has 150 thousand, give or take

Though I guess Goldspheres' far more longer than usual

I'll tell you right now since I constantly try comb through the games file database for audio files,there ain't no 150k lines of dialog

More like a few thousand

If that

#

And that's with Steve blum cut voice lines and russian cut lines like gunslinger

red tulip
# solid dome Though I guess Goldspheres' far more longer than usual

It's a medium-sized mod, I'd say. The problem is mainly lack of motivation among translators or being busy with other stuff, that's why it's going on for so long. And honestly, I'm kinda glad it's going for this long, as I've imporved a lot over the years and gained experience in translating. So there's that.

150K is outright impossible, as that'd put SoC above Fallout 4 in terms of dialogue line count.
