No ultimate retail in the US?

[remote crow]

I am a literal stalker so I followed every single irl call of pripyat character on VK

Only one followed me back

[jaunty mason]

I was wondering

Can you kill Sid in Shadow of Chernobyl?

Like, what happens if you leave the door open, and then chuck an F1 grenade down the stairwell?

We'll find out in the morning

gn

[amber tendon]

You physically can't

[chrome ridge]

Dont play area kids its not good for health

[gilded sentinel]

Is area harder than dead air ?

[chrome ridge]

I didnt played dead air

But people are talking shet about area being ridiculously hard

[gilded vigil]

I guess yes

Does anybody hear about mods like dear air but with an interesting plot?

[gilded sentinel]

There’s dead air book of the dead

If you want I can dm you some info on the add on

It’s mostly just dead air but with new plot

[finite dragon]

1984

aint that dead?

[chrome ridge]

Alright back to SoC

Area is not very smooth plus its extremely hard so i think i will leave it till i get bettrr pc

Another ghost ping

Monolith must be calling

[warm goblet]

What is the best Stalker weapon

[void vortex]

depends. Reliability or damage input?

There are multiple "best weapons"

[onyx nexus]

FOR MONOLITH

I WILL BREAK SLOWMODE FOR MONOLITH

[warm goblet]

Damage

Also no gauss gun

[void vortex]

RPG-7

It's even stronger than the gauss

but there is 0 reason to carry one other than killing a functional BTR

[warm goblet]

The bobm weapon

[dire dagger]

It can depopulate an entire house in one shot

So it’s not entirely useless

😎

If only you could kill multiple enemies with a single shot

With a regular gun

[finite dragon]

Dead air is harder than area

[void vortex]

@dire dagger The RPG is heavy, the rockets are heavy. You're better off just throwing a grenade or shoot with your underbarrel

It's waaaaaaaaaay too specific of a use

[dire dagger]

Ik lol

Grenade underbarrel does big damage to peoples feelings

[amber tendon]

are you guys arming yourselves for home defense scenario?

[dire dagger]

The workshop must be protected from anyone and everyone

No amount of force is too great to keep them out

[craggy atlas]

there's so much artefacts here, is that right? A little walking around agroprom and I found 5 jellyfish ones and 2 sunflowers (i'm in SoC)

[remote crow]

A sunflower?

A stone flower?

[jaunty mason]

yep, agroprom is litered with them

[remote crow]

sunflowers??????

[jaunty mason]

he probably meant stone flowers

[craggy atlas]

good to know, going to sell this now

[granite coral]

There are lots of artifacts

Sell them for money

Shakharov will buy all of them at full price in Yantar

So don't sell them to the other traders

[chrome ridge]

I'm uninstalling area

[onyx nexus]

Why

[finite dragon]

Should I use the vintar or the SVUmk?

[onyx nexus]

Depends on your Playstyle

[finite dragon]

Uhh

Statistically speaking which one

[finite dragon]

Are they like

The same thing but depending the way you play one is better?

[tired anvil]

Pretty much

Though Vintar is nice

[craggy atlas]

it's safe to store my items at the box near barkeep? (SoC)

[finite dragon]

Oh

[tired anvil]

Yep

[finite dragon]

I think I'm gone trade it for Tunder them

Thanks for le advice

[crimson tinsel]

Hi

[timid trail]

I thought that the Clear Sky faction were completely death 💀

[granite coral]

Yeah lol

[crimson tinsel]

There are still people in CS uniforms apparently

[tired anvil]

Not really

Only one person, though you can find a uniform for yourself

[native helm]

I hope heart of chernobyl doesnt fall victim to "current thing" political cucking. I just want a good game :/

[tired anvil]

Political cucking in what way?

[native helm]

any anti russian sentiment or pointless nationalism

[tired anvil]

Well

Some Russians got pissed before the current political problem even occured

All the way back in 2020 I think?

[native helm]

Why?

[tired anvil]

Because there was a poem in the trailer from Ukraine's most famous poet

[granite coral]

What's wrong with Clear Sky faction?

[tired anvil]

About a girl falling for a Russian boy and not listening to her family or something

The game is also unavailable for purchase for Russians and Belarusians, idk if that counts to you as anti-Russian sentimentalism

[native helm]

russians paying for games

[tired anvil]

Fingers crossed the game won't need internet connection to run

Though that was an idea for the 2011 S2, so who knows

[native helm]

Online drm for a sp game is still a thing?

[tired anvil]

Who knows what they'll go for

[finite dragon]

Aaaaa where can I find more Venture ammunition

Any shop in somewhere or nah?

[tired anvil]

Though idk, on one hand I can expect the company to stay a-political, on the other I wouldn't be surprised if a dev could sneak something in. Metro did it as well

[tired anvil]

SoC?

[native helm]

i didnt notice any "current thing" politics in metro so

[finite dragon]

Yes i havent finished le game yet

[tired anvil]

Well, you didn't notice it in Stalker either

Metro has an achievement for blowing off the head of Lenin

[finite dragon]

Politicians suck don't brother them

Because the current thing
Is not my problem

[timid trail]

And how you can still alive

🤣🤣

[tired anvil]

You can buy some at the bar or mobile lab, depending on how far you've progressed in the game

[finite dragon]

Bar doesn't sell it yet so i suppose the lab doesn't either

[granite coral]

Hehe I'm fine with that 😄

[finite dragon]

Am gone complete a task and they might do it

[tired anvil]

Both of them do if you've shut down the miracle machine. Quick save and load and the items being sold might change and you might find it

[finite dragon]

Hmmmmmmm

What does the miracle do

[tired anvil]

Have you been to X-16?

[finite dragon]

Yes

[tired anvil]

Then I imagine you shut it down

[finite dragon]

Yes

I blow up everything

[tired anvil]

Then they should sell it to you

Just a matter of timing ig

[finite dragon]

Hmmmm ok

I sadly blow up X-16

[pale cosmos]

Guys I need help, where is the funny haha loud stalker scream. There's this really ear piercing scream people keep using in stalker but I never experienced in game, some people say it's related to the controller...?

[finite dragon]

Ok do apparently i don't have to be buy ammunition
You just got to wait for the duty dudes on the camp to die to the anomaly's near by
Plus go to the monolith camp raid and which all of that plus saving ammo(do headshots only) you will be able to gain at least more then 500+ ammunition

[finite dragon]

Freedom has drugs

Need I say more about what I'd be doing

[finite dragon]

smoking crack and clapping soldiers for creating a dumb society surrounded by greed and jealousy

truth is we should make a rebelioin and destroy all government systems

Well, freedom uses weed and alcohol but crack works too ig

nah, Scar is much more manly

but why would a stalker say some male stalkers sexy?

[marsh delta]

Are they really in Czech Republic?

[river delta]

Saw a screenshot with the stalker devs in Prague, idk if it's true

[worthy lagoon]

The Zone is not a place for women

[balmy forum]

What about female bloodsuckers? Like how do they reproduce so much

[rugged scaffold]

❤️ sidorovich ❤️

[timid trail]

I think yes. Because situation in Ukraine is really bad. I don’t even imagine how they could work there

[toxic vector]

if there is a way to attract female gamers to stalker franchise, i guess this is only way

let them play as a female ecologist or medic military sounds good enough

[worthy lagoon]

Wtf, it's not like girls aren't playing the game because there aren't girls in the game lmao

[median rock]

girls attracted to girls, makes sense, sure

[worthy lagoon]

Also you play as Skif, not as a made up character

[dusky bobcat]

That's what some AAA devs think

lol

I should really get back into this game

I'm yet to finish SoC 😅

[clear kettle]

Tbh, I don't see how having like a few girls in the Zone would throw the worldbuilding into the garbage, but heh, what do I know

[amber tendon]

they would get r*ped, shanked and thrown into the closest river

just saying its not the place for them

[clear kettle]

I mean, wear a mask

Not like the average sunrise isn't bulky enough to hide what's under

[amber tendon]

are you going to wear it forever?

[haughty pine]

Can possibly happen, it’d be a neat little detail to see some female stalkers in the Zone, assuming Stalker 2 is years down the line since the events in the early 2010’s and the trilogy, the swarming of more and more stalkers into the Zone can also imply that some women decided to come in, even if just ecologists and military personnel, even the one of the local folklore pieces in SoC with the radiant women could be a possibility (although who knows if that was an actual person or some hallucination idk)

It’s be neat overall

also sorry for wall of text lmao

[clear kettle]

I mean, if you want to stay alive, yeah, without a doubt

[amber tendon]

physically impossible

[clear kettle]

Not like you remove armor to go to bed in the zone

[buoyant cargo]

hello)

[clear kettle]

Hi

And even then they get r***d and thrown into the next river, they still exist, corpses could be found lying around

[haughty pine]

I forgot things like that can happen, that’s a lot more disturbing to think about

[amber tendon]

what are corpses good for lol

[clear kettle]

If we were logic, every faction should have destroyed the entirety of bandits by CoP, not the case. From this point, anyone can survive the zone with enough luck

[haughty pine]

Well the bandits don’t think any different if it’s a corpse or not this is from a bandit line btw

[clear kettle]

World building, mostly, and loot

Like, I'm not here saying we should get all faction managed by a "strong female character" that would be toxic af, but not seeing any in something as large and population stacking as the zone feels weird

Not like poverty outside the zone gives two f***s about what's in between your legs

[amber tendon]

It literally looks like "I am for equality for everyone being miserable"

there is a reason why they don't go there

[clear kettle]

Being miserable is the point of all this tho

[amber tendon]

and let it stay like that

[clear kettle]

Every stalker and their mother is miserable by default

[jaunty mason]

I mean, tru

[clear kettle]

Don't tell me Rookie McDude in Cordon is living the time of his life

[amber tendon]

yea but their mothers aren't dumb enough to stick their fingers into a mouse trap

[clear kettle]

Some peeps just gets by better then others

[clear kettle]

Bcs Dudes are now scientifically stupid apparently

[amber tendon]

or are we?

🤨

[clear kettle]

No, and that's my point

[jaunty mason]

Idk, nimble seems to be having a great time sleeping his troubles away

I can't remember the last mutant raid he actually got up to fight in

[clear kettle]

Plus go tell to that 15 years experienced bandit that "Any hole is not a goal", see how he reacts. Pretty sure dudes weaponless get r***d and thrown into the river too

[amber tendon]

He is risking his life for that street sweeper that you've ordered off him

[amber tendon]

But there is still no women in the zone

[clear kettle]

And that still is kinda dumb

I'm not talking about a 50/50 ratio

But the complete lack of kinda don't make sense

Even more so with civilians or legal factions in the zone, military, ecologist, tourists, etc... Existing

[amber tendon]

if you want to see woman in 2nd installment I'll mod one for you

if you want one so badly lol

[clear kettle]

It's not like I "want" it

I don't give a flying duck about having one in the game or nah

[amber tendon]

yet you do

[clear kettle]

I'm just talking world building

[amber tendon]

here is a theory

in stalker universe planet earth has no women

[haughty pine]

damn, population’s dying off 😢

[clear kettle]

Fair enough of an explanation, looks good to me

[clear kettle]

Well, that does explain the search for immortality by artefacts I guess-

[ashen axle]

Nova_74#7125 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[clear kettle]

[amber tendon]

[haughty pine]

Oops, forgot that no swearing was a thing, yea could very well be a reason why they search for artifacts, firefly supposedly can revive someone, who knows if there’s some stalker deep within the Zone who just lives on 5 fireflies

[clear kettle]

Should we categorise the dude that is warping across the zone by having 5 shells and a as mutant then-

[haughty pine]

Was gonna say an anomaly, but he is living so yea, seeing dudes who just have a bunch of psy, thermal, or whatever other protective artifact stack live off in dangerous anomalies would also be hilarious and a mind-bender for anyone who comes across it

[amber tendon]

IMO there were no women in 3 of these games because budget constraints while on the other hand writers agreed that they can't build a women character

Also I have a theory that if zone is for men then there has to be equivalent of zone for women - "Barbie universe"

[dusky bobcat]

Hey what's the number below the minimap in SoC mean again?

[amber tendon]

People near you

[dusky bobcat]

Oh

[amber tendon]

Like number of people that are near you

[dusky bobcat]

That's why it showed 3 when I was going to collect the suit. Even though the people there were already dead, 3 more appeared outta nowhere while I was double-checking the bodies

[clear kettle]

Fair, guess it takes a good experience to not get dunked left and right for fudging up that

[amber tendon]

The counter ticks off even further from the minimap view

[haughty pine]

Yea that can happen, are you in the beginning of SoC by any chance? If you destroy the vehicle yard, then Wolf’s Scouts will advance onto the yard to provide support at one point or another, after the fighting’s dies down but they do more often than not end up dying later

[jaunty mason]

Is there a bolt action rifle in SoC?

[dusky bobcat]

It's not his scouts afaik

[amber tendon]

No.

[haughty pine]

least that’d explain why they’re popping up, assuming you’re starting there, there’s far too many times when randos just show up

[clear kettle]

Somehow cleared the whole game with the objective of letting them attack

[jaunty mason]

so it's all just full auto mayhem?

[dusky bobcat]

I did that, went to railway bridge, checked the building near bridge then came back

[clear kettle]

Don't think so ? All sniper are semi automatics

[amber tendon]

Yes. "Fully-semiautomatic" Mayhem

[dusky bobcat]

After I reloaded the save and did that all again (forgot to save for a while oof) they didn't spawn

[haughty pine]

You can play semi-auto, the 9 and 0 key on your keyboard switches between auto, semi auto, sometimes even burst rounds depending on guns, but that’s mostly reserved for smgs and rifles

[jaunty mason]

but there is sniper rifles, yes?

[jaunty mason]

did not know that

[amber tendon]

Svd, svu, gauss

[clear kettle]

By the end of the game yeah

[jaunty mason]

oh

[haughty pine]

Huh, weird, welp I guess you managed to auto save or the game just gave you leverage, least you got that taken care of lol

There’s also the Vintar rifle, it has a full auto function (it’s available in all games btw)

[clear kettle]

Your best bet is scoped AR

Having to play Anomaly to get a Mosin tho. Expected to have one in the vanillas the first time around

Also journalism

It's Discord tho >w>

It's also an official discord partner

[dusky bobcat]

Anyway, I have realised I never claimed rewards from Wolf

[amber tendon]

Doesn't stop the controversies

[dusky bobcat]

Oh dang when did that happen

[haughty pine]

Yea they do it most likely to keep things civil around here, does mess up some jokes or points and statements they may have, but there are workarounds, just means more creativity

[clear kettle]

Phoock off

[reef rampart]

are the devs planning to add some kind of crappy denuvo like useless drm to the game? Dying Light 2 did that last day and it was really annoying. You know RE:Village fps problems as well...

if they are planning to release it on GOG as well, the gog version should be clean off of drm and safe to pre-purchase right?

[dusky bobcat]

The entire point of GOG is that absolutely no games on it have DRM iirc

[reef rampart]

well there are games with DRM in gog, they are slowly and silently doing it...

[dusky bobcat]

@reef rampart Such as?

[thorny hill]

I've never heard of a drm game on gog

[dusky bobcat]

You need GOG Galaxy to play online for some games, but that's about the extent of 'DRM' I know of

[haughty pine]

Oh yea I constantly have that issue, Infact yesterday I was spending nearly all of my time juggling between defending the treasure hunter’s outpost and it’s one longest surviving guy from three groups of mutants back on back, and bandits that constantly respawn and take over the place, all of the other outposts are already captured, the concentration camp has long been cleared, and the barricade folks are right there, but never move in, just can’t win when you win

[fresh spindle]

@haughty pine ill do this
Ill Clear out the 3 outposts first and then the warehouse and then all the bandits in the map, then ill target every other single bandit around the zone and even if they do respawn, it'll be fine cause imma start another playthrough through another save without joining stalkers, but I will kill the bandits that want money from me at the passage

I am doing this just to get my mind right cause I dam near lost it tryibg to go back and fourth form defending 4 places at the same time

[haughty pine]

yea, it’s a pretty sound idea, it’s just a shame for me atleast cuz they constantly respawn after you’re not in the area, especially in the warehouse, which whilst it sucks, means I rack up tons of guns to go and sell to the poor trader over at the cordon

I already have like 400kg worth of guns in one chest lol

[scarlet salmon]

It's a fruitless endeavor. The bandits will constantly respawn even once you take the depot.

And nobody will move to recapture it.

[fresh spindle]

But No its gets EVEN BETTER
during these missions
I gotta protect some guys from a sector cause theyre being attacked by mutants

And these mutants Once they killed everyone
They cannot be respawned to protect that sector again

[haughty pine]

yea, I learned that the hard way, and it stings, but atleast the bandits are smart(?) enough to not do anything else, so less worries for me

[fresh spindle]

Do bandits go into the stalkers base?

Or they stay at their area only?

[scarlet salmon]

They'll repopulate, but I haven't seen them push outside the Garbage.

[haughty pine]

Ooh I have that happen to me several times whilst recapturing the depot, the treasure hunter’s camp is the place that sometimes gets swarmed by mutants whilst I’m shooting down the bandits, and I rarely make it in time before the one guy is killed

[fresh spindle]

Eh
Lore wise bandits were defeated anyways

[haughty pine]

Yea I haven’t seen them be anywhere else in the cordon once you destroy the small pocket of em by the mill, so I guess they just live in the garbage for good

[fresh spindle]

But stalkers fully capturing the place would lool cool, if you want to spawn bandits then by little numbers have them spawn away and just have them walking around

Not inside the base where everyone is dead

Game wise it doesnt make sense when its a major mission you have to do

[haughty pine]

yea, it’d be cool seeing the stalkers set up a second base in the depot, and y’know just live in it with a new leader, kinda like how Fanatic was the leader of the rookie village in SoC once Wolf left, it’d be a really nice detail

but yea, it’s still fun regardless, fighting swarms of bandits is always a blast

[fresh spindle]

Would be funner if my maxxed out rifle would land 1 shot at 10 yards to the target

I wouldnt be complaining if the weapon mechanics would be better

Atleast

[haughty pine]

Gunplay to me is mostly fine, just at the very start enemies are a bit bullet spongy to the 9x18mm, and sometimes hitting shots can be a bit weird especially for the viper imo, but it still gets the job done in stalker fashion, only thing that kinda gets in the way is how upgrades weigh down the armor, which I get is a balancing thing, but it just eats up small space that can make or break how much you can carry especially for a hoarder like me but its whatev

So far after sinking 30 hrs into it, Clear Sky’s good imo, just wish there was a bit more to do with npcs

[clear kettle]

I guess I was lucky when both time I invaded the depot, emission happened. Didn't have to deal with bandits, they just disapeared and never respawned

[remote crow]

[onyx nexus]

No, that's a legitimate question to have..

[remote crow]

YES

My bird is doing great, ty for asking

[reef rampart]

like old games, for example "Singularity", it has cd-key drm even on gog

there are also other titles as well with cd-key drms

Hey guys.

So i'm stuck at the Kordon entrance in Clear Sky, on Master difficulty.
It was like 2-3 hours of failed attempts.

I know about the other entrance on the Swamps, but still - zero ideas how to run from the MG guy.

The second big rock is farthest point i could run to, and can't run under that fallen tree - they see me in the pitch black darkness.

Any ideas?

[ https://youtu.be/-kY0q48C750 ]

[fluid abyss]

kick down the difficulty to the lowest setting, put it back up once you're out

[undone fossil]

well... that is not the way of a true ♂️ boy next door ♂️

[clear kettle]

just spam whatever meds you have

[tired anvil]

Go back to the Swamps, max out rep with CS, buy a suit called the CS-1. Return to Cordon, hop behind the rock, go left near a crack in the fence

[clear kettle]

If only I knew about the CS-3 the first time-

[tired anvil]

CS-1

You get the 3 by default

[clear kettle]

Oh yeah

forgot Clear sky mix them up

[haughty pine]

Wait, there was a crack in the fence the entire time? I always just ran through the bullets to get to cover to cover like some Slavic version of saving private Ryan… welp now I know, sick! Makes things a lot easier that’s for sure, and yea meds and lying low will be your best friend in that situation, aside from that best of luck on master difficulty to you man

[clear kettle]

Or

Hit the head of the machine gun guy with a slug from across Cordon with the hunting rifle

[haughty pine]

Damn, that would really require some crackshot abilities.. that’s doable 👍

[clear kettle]

I think if you know the exact spot

It could be a speedrun strat

Then again, full accuracy upgrade and darts should be good enough to actually do some sick stuff early on

[haughty pine]

That’s very fair, it just would require some patience and not-dying abilities, would be sick to pull off lol

[scarlet salmon]

"wow, so when do I get to start the game?"

Cordon machine gunner: "that's the fun thing, you don't!"

[cursive shore]

Yo this server in open? Since when?

[inland granite]

I'd ask the same bro

I guess they all moved to western part of Ukraine and start developing the game

[cursive shore]

They moved to Czech

[inland granite]

Nice decision on their part

[cursive shore]

Such is the life in the zone

[uneven sequoia]

They will be home soon, I am sure.

[inland granite]

I hope so

But since the eastern part of front is deteriorating i doubt the war would end soon

[remote crow]

[jaunty mason]

[remote crow]

The best song in all of STALKER ever is S.A.D.

[uneven sequoia]

Don't be offended if I'm wrong but I feel like Russia is just going to demand the coastline and then back out.

[remote crow]

No no I think i agree

[cursive shore]

Means landlocked Ukraine?

[inland granite]

Russia still wants firm control of Donbass and crimea

[uneven sequoia]

No. I don't think so. Ukraine would still have the port of Odesa.

[remote crow]

Unfortunately, with my stance as it is on this situation, I could be considered neutral

[inland granite]

And they wont stop throwing away their people to die until Putin gets it

Try Staker Anomaly instead

[young estuary]

My pc is potato what did you expect

[ornate valley]

You can also play on dx9 with Anomaly. I dont think it's that demanding compared to CofC, really. Plenty of graphics options

CofC is still good choice tho, and it has its own ambience

[gilded sentinel]

[finite dragon]

anyone hunting beaks of crows in anomoly?#

[young estuary]

well my pc is 5500 intel and 4gb ram

idk if it's good or not

[young estuary]

I'll try anomaly later

[finite dragon]

idk bout 4gb ram

[young estuary]

yeah that's what I worried about

[finite dragon]

anomoly isnt well optimized

what gpu u running?

[young estuary]

hold on

[finite dragon]

im on i7 9700k intel and GTX 1070 and i can tell ya man its slow at loading in highest DX and it gets like spike of 56-27 fps

16gb ram

then again im running like 20 mods that arent even mod managed

[young estuary]

I'm i5 5200

[finite dragon]

it deos stabilize the more u play aswell

yea what gpu aswell

thats cpu

idk man best bet is playing with the least hungry mods

and for u static light will help

idk what DX i just think static light is less ram usage

my rdr2 is 30 to 45 fps

[young estuary]

I think its nvidia geforce 910m

welp

[somber beacon]

another sale big bruh

i wish devs posted ANY new info about the game

[jade wigeon]

Hoping I'm around to nab the US physical PC ult edition

I think they changed it because that’s how it’s spelled in Ukranian, Chernobyl is the Russian spelling

Pretty much

Might be. Maybe try your luck on Amazon

The UE4 remake of STALKER is officially... D.E.D

I am sorry to say that it is with a very heavy heart the project is on a hiatus until further notice.
The team is well aware many of you were excited for the future of this project, but unfortunately we cannot continue due to circumstances regarding team members.

[tired anvil]

Meh

The guy who wrote it isn't even the head of it

[solid dome]

Was to be expected

[tired anvil]

It's dead but not really officially

Since the actual guy making everything just disappeared a few months back

[solid dome]

Well, it's dead - rest doesn't matter

As if anyone expected something good to come out of it...

A remake of AAA game made by 2-3 people

More like a miracle

[tired anvil]

More like one person

But yea, it definitely would've still taken a while

[soft ice]

Why did gsc make their latest YouTube post in Ukranian and russian when they aren’t even selling it to Russia on purpose

[tired anvil]

Because there's more people in the community than just Russians who don't speak English or Ukrainian?

[half linden]

plus a lot of Ukrainians, to my knowledge at least, primarily speak Russian. Plus other countries that have Russian as its official language, plus people that speak Russian outside of Russia, plus...

[solid dome]

It's like those temporary Chinese bans on given products

Won't take long to be lifted

[tired anvil]

Ngl that's a terrible example

[solid dome]

[tired anvil]

China will copy and make a cheaper version before unbanning

[solid dome]

It's perfect example in the way China bans stuff then as it sees it'll bring profits > ban gets lifted

It's kind of a funny example also cause, like everyone knows, STALKER's biggest fanbase is...

What country was that...

Damn, I forgot

[tired anvil]

Actually interesting which one would have it bigger, Russia or Ukraine

[solid dome]

I haven't seen a single STALKER fansite, mod, or whatever - only available to Ukrainians

[tired anvil]

I have

[solid dome]

Big portion of the mods are mainly available in Russian

[tired anvil]

I don't see how that would mean that the community has more Russians than Ukrainians. It's easier to get more downloads when you make a product in a more known language

[solid dome]

Tons of modding guides are also in Russian

I'm just saying

Though which is the more known language in this case?

Obviously Ukrainian drops out

[tired anvil]

Yes, but don't forget that I'm walking about actual people, not the language

Russians easily pass since most Ukrainians speak both of them

[solid dome]

I'm walking in the park here too, enjoying the fresh air as well. I know, I know, we're THINKING OUT LOUD fellas.

[solid dome]

[meager oxide]

[solid dome]

Stalker, burn rubber now or suffer later @meager oxide We don't love people eavesdropping on random conversations.

[modern scarab]

gotta say i am so damn excited for Stalker 2. it looks so good

[solid dome]

[half linden]

i'm so excited too, i just started playing the games a month ago and I can't wait

[modern scarab]

i think what could be cool is if they released it now as an early access build of the game and get on demand feedback on the game. but it humbles me that they took that hit to potential profits and delayed the game to make it the best game it can be. though I'm sure Putin being an asshole didn't help either.

[tired anvil]

Testing was conducted last year within the office of the game

So, I'm sure one way or another that feedback was established

[clear kettle]

Dunno if releasing an Early access of a solo fps game like that would be good

It "kinda" works for multiplayer games, but solo ones feels strange

[tired anvil]

It's more of an indie thing nowadays I'd say as well

[modern scarab]

like i said im perfectly fine with them taking their time. not alot of game devs do that nowadays cough COD cough

[jade wigeon]

I'll trade my Cyberpunk 2077 CE for the STALKER 2 one

Gem from the ol times

[sly vector]

Should I be worried that the "costumes" and "weapon skins" means that armour is going to be reduced to something cosmetic, or is it more like an colour coating that can go over existing armours?

[sly vector]

That's a relief

[solid dome]

More like stripes n crap

How do you picture anything else to look acceptable

[sly vector]

I'm hoping that the character isn't restricted in terms of armour types like how Metro only gives the player access to 2 different armours other than what they start with, and even then only on certain story events

[solid dome]

Only SEVA & Exo?

[tired anvil]

Last time I checked, Stalker's setting isn't really within different "biomes" for that to happen. I don't see why it'd be a thing

[solid dome]

Hmm... People will go mad.

[tired anvil]

Maybe an exception when going to toxic underground like needing a suit for the Pripyat Undergrounds in CoP

[solid dome]

Going down with a coat and no gloves

Sounds like death call

[hardy portal]

doubt they'd do that, wouldn't make sense for GSC to add all these armours and upgrades just to get rid of them in their biggest project to date

@grand birch wrong chat :(

[worn nacelle]

I spot a fellow Monolith enjoyer

All heil the great monolith!

[potent bluff]

Brainwash enjoyer

[worn nacelle]

heh

[balmy forum]

Monolith is smartest faction cause they got 3 brains instead of 1

Checkmate stalkers

[jaunty mason]

puts on glasses That's factually incorrect

Having a larger brain has nothing to do with intelligence. It just means you have a larger brain

You can survive with half a brain, because your brain can cope and learn to control everything with only one half

3 brains just means you waste more resources to keep those 3 brains fed.

[balmy forum]

Ok but, Id rather have a large brain than be a half brain

[jaunty mason]

Assuming that the 3 brains aren't fully and individually developed, and all share the same conscience, that is

[balmy forum]

Well monolith is monolit

[jaunty mason]

Imagine having 3 consciences battling each other over every decision your body makes

[balmy forum]

Not if they combined into a super mega giant big brain

[jaunty mason]

Intelligence is affected by how many neurons you have. Those neurons reside in the wrinkles of the brain's outer cortext.

You can have a big brain, but it's useless if it's smoother than an ice rink

[balmy forum]

Smooth brains is something only duty experiences

[jaunty mason]

Tru. Their brains are aerodynamically efficient they're so smooth

But yeah size of the brain does not necessarily effect how smart you are. It just means you have a bigger brain

But a brain that's too big can increase the risk of injury and concussions

[haughty pine]

I know I’m late to this, but the C-Consciousness might’ve already thought up of this issue and solved it by having the brain scorcher or the brainwashing methods wipe them clean of any identity or thought, and y’know instill the C-Consciousness’ ideals and beliefs, which also explain how they’re able to hear the Monolith speak to them, albeit at the cost of their minds constantly degrading, which can also be explained by like what you said, the more resources needed to maintain three consciousness taking its toll on the user’s mind, so that’s some very thoughtful introspect on how all of that works, good stuff 👍

least it solves the issues of one consciousness, I might add, the other two may conflict just a bit, assuming they’re not two halves of one whole

[fluid abyss]

sooo is that a yes on the pink armor or

[fresh spindle]

Be honest here chat

If the world of stalker was real as in the Zone

If you guys went there as loners or bandits
How long WOULD YOU SURVIVE

For me

Probably 3 days

And this is my EGO speaking

[jaunty mason]

I'm a great marksman, engineer, and I find it easy to make friends because I'm generous and "kind-hearted"

but that would probably end up being used against me

I'd give me a minimum of a month if I spend that first month avoiding others

[finite dragon]

no vc?

[steady patrol]

I would walk into an electrical anomaly and die instantly

[balmy forum]

Makes me think, so many zombie survival movies an shows, wheres a stalker series?

[young estuary]

is there anyway that I can download or get Loner voice lines?

[jaunty mason]

Is the radioactive death truck in the Cordon not the same one from the intro cutscene?

[fair crater]

femboy stalker

[fluid abyss]

1 week before I get capped by a bandit, eaten by a mutant, gore myself on an anomaly or get annoyed with no toilet

[fresh spindle]

@jaunty mason
The thing you'll need is charisma and skills in making deals with others

Cause kindhearted and generous can go a long way If your lucky and meet someone good in the zone

But Marskman and engineer can come in handy but survival skills and prepping is key

But you gotta realize is that it'll take LOTS of focus and power to survive and knowledge of the area

Many men Special forces tried and easily failed
Men more athletic than you get ripped like a tissue by mutants
Men better marksman then you get a bullet through their head by lucky shots or better shots than you
Etc
You need a big group and training within the zone to survive

A month? If you just patrol in the Base(safe area)
Then yes
But you need money for that So you'll need to still do jobs

@balmy forum Theres series but fan film

@fluid abyss The toilet issue can be fixed by water, But good luck purifying that water
Baths? Basic hygiene will be hard

Bandits? More like mutants that are faster than any tri athlete will kill you before a bandit will

But yes those 9mm guns bandits have will kill you fast and you'll most likely not survive the first skirmish

Anomalies are tuff if you dont have bolts cause some require the machine to detect and bolts to traverse

You can survive that

I reply to you guys this way to give you an understanding that NO MATTER THE SKILLS you have
In the zone its all a different world where luck more so prevails cause theres more men driven then you and better but always still die fast

Month? Week? Probably but thats not likely cause you dont have the treatments for surviving
Especially the radioactivity

[jaunty mason]

as far as I've seen, Ukrainian and Polish seem similar enough to where we'd be able to understand each other. But a lot of my Ukrainian friends were from near the Polish border so maybe that made it easier for us to understand each other

If you kill Dooty folk you will be attacked at Rostok

[sand fiber]

imagine

[dusky burrow]

the groza was worth it

though the video i saw told me it was chambered in 5.45 but for me its still on its normal ammo, so i cant use it a lot really

[empty hull]

There is one chambered in 5.45 and the regular ones in 9x39

Also you can get a Groza later in the game without killing friendlies

[amber tendon]

Sidorovich sells one on few occasions

[hardy portal]

i remember seeing a Moonlight for the first time in SoC and just thinking how pretty it is, kinda annoyed they simplified it in CS ngl

[runic rapids]

In one playthrough i found the 5.45 Groza in a dead rookies backpack at the Bar

[clear kettle]

What's the Groza again ?

[runic rapids]

The duty gun

[clear kettle]

Didn't know there was some chambered in 5.45

[sand fiber]

i believe he can die by himself and you'll be able to pick up 5.45 groza

also you can buy it from sidorovich lol

[finite dragon]

oh yeah, they exist and they are too good to exist

cheap ammo + imbalance underbarrel gsc you should keep it

[true sage]

Duty or Freedom?

[dusky burrow]

thats your concern?

the Groze has a ridiculous damage and armor pen

to me it was one of the most broken guns in the game, damn those monolithians keep bursting me

[jaunty mason]

is there a scope attachment in SoC? If so, can I put it on the Tunder?

[toxic vector]

why would a duty member ask this?

[jaunty mason]

he probably wanted to see if other people supported duty

looks like on one else does at the moment

[median fjord]

does clear sky go into factions alot because i havent played it

[dense bear]

I think it does

[weak shuttle]

I hate to ask this, but are there any mods/edits that make Clear Sky SOMEWHAT tolerable?

[dense bear]

that bad? I'm loving Vanilla clear sky right now!

[near needle]

Any advice for my first playthrough of Pripyat?

[hardy portal]

CS limansk construction site

[dusky burrow]

Big Ben pistol is the gun im supossed to give to the sad hunter in the 100 rads?

in SoC

[dusky burrow]

idk what game you talk about because Pripyat is essentially in all of them but i assume you mean CoP, my advice is to do as many tasks as you can

Nimble's guns are worth it

and modifying weapons upgrades them a big lot

getting the tools is very easy

be sure to buy as much information from Owl (idk if thats the english name of him, basically the merchant in Skadovsk that sells guns) he gives you crrucial info

[near needle]

@dusky burrow do enemies respawn like the mercenaries at waste processing station?

[dusky burrow]

no

there arent many reasons to go there, just get all of the PDA's and Laptops, you should get about 13K for all of the info iirc

[near needle]

It sounds like you run out of things to do fairly quickly then.

[dusky burrow]

what do you run out of?

[near needle]

If enemies don't respawn I mean.

[dusky burrow]

idk ive never been in a lack of something

the merchants usually give you cheap prices for stuff, artifacts dont respawn and its kind of risky to get them but its what its all about

CoP artifacts are the easiest to use unlike in SoC where you need to find balance

get the bear detector, its pretty good

you can get it for free if you save a stalker that goes into an anomaly and gets inmovilized

that anomaly i dont remember its name its on the northeast of Yanov, its a fire anomaly and it looks as if the ground was rifting

[hardy portal]

a fault?

also why is the CS limansk sequence sorta just

not good at all?

[dusky burrow]

the whole sequene is not good at all

but imo is the most graphically pleasing of the 3, has good faction relationships (freedom treats you very nice), the faction wars are almost perfect

[near needle]

@dusky burrow is the original suit worth upgrading past the first 2 upgrades?

[dusky burrow]

i forgot which suits i wore during the game and if i upgraded them

[near needle]

The suit you start the game with.

I've got 40k should I get something else?

[dusky burrow]

yeah i know, i only upgraded its basics and was pretty fine with it

you should get an assault rifle

the belgian weapon that looks weird or the G36 are good because of its nvd devices

further on you can get the basic steel helmet which gets NVD but thats not convenient

i personally recommend the beril

i forgot if you can get other suits by completing tasks, CoP is the game i played most long ago

ive played cs and playing SoC rn

@near needle

[near needle]

I'll do some research

[toxic vector]

the best weapon in soc is the TRs-301 sniper

dont give it back to quest giver, the reward is not worth it

[sick nexus]

i am playing anomaly and this chef in merc base is telling me to go slaughter a bunch of clear skys

[thorny hill]

is it just me or is stalker a horror game

soc is absolutely my favorite game because of the atmosphere and immersion but it's just terrifying sometimes

[remote crow]

Should I do a cover of Dirge for The Planet?
I am a girl, I can sing well 👍🏻

[jaunty mason]

:o

Go for it

[warm goblet]

Mmm jelyphishj

[remote crow]

😩

[warm goblet]

[remote crow]

Please vote with reactions so I can track

[jaunty mason]

barbaque bacon burger

[remote crow]

On god

I was about to say that

[thorny hill]

so clear sky so far is absolutely unenjoyable

[tiny olive]

All hail the monolith

[haughty pine]

Really? How so if you don’t mind me asking

[thorny hill]

so many bugs and quests i very obviously do in the great swamp just dont wanna complete. example: i cleared out machinery yard and it just kept saying "wait for troops to help" and nothing happened. im gonna mod it slightly and see if that makes it any better.

[placid slate]

Thats why soc > any stalker game

[finite dragon]

Hi guys

[mild owl]

Hey guys

So, the Xbox show is in like a week

Do you guys think we’ll see somethin of stalker 2 there?

[thorny hill]

nope

[finite dragon]

ye, anything 5.45 with an underbarrel is imbalance

[wheat gulch]

Delay to 2023

[half linden]

When that happens you can go do other tasks or continue with the story and it'll complete itself. That's what happened to me, I'm like 70% through Clear Sky rn and it's only happened to me one other time

ik its not designed to be like that but it does work

[young estuary]

Every S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games=Every S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games

[clear kettle]

That is a very hot take now you're doing

[hazy helm]

Cope

SoC>CS>CoP

[worthy lagoon]

I actually find SoC better than CS, since in SoC you can go in the labs

[clear kettle]

SoC is good, but really only for labs and lore. I think other then that, CS and CoP got better gameplay wise

But yeah, SoCo got that vibe that I can't explain but really hammer the point of "well that's the zone"

[true sage]

Just asking out of curiosity

[toxic vector]

gunslinger mod is only way to make cop 's gameplay feel like current gen but it takes so long to release the TRs-301

[hazy helm]

Gunslinger mod is the only mod that gets what balancing is

[young estuary]

yeah I like the gunslinger mod

[solid dome]

It's the only true Stalker "Horror FPS" we'll ever have in terms of jumpscares and stuff

I can bet my balls the sequel won't even be able to hold a candle to SoC when it comes to those "Oh, funk, what was that, where did it come from?! - proceeds to run up the stairs as fast as possible, dies grabbed by a sucker doing so"

[clear kettle]

I didn't think SoC was "that" scary, with the exception of agroprom underground. Is it atmospheric ? Yeah sure. But not that scary

[solid dome]

What do you expect anyway, true horror feel in the open spaces?

Horror lives down there, son

[clear kettle]

Exactly that

You're telling me, with controllers, bloodsuckers, snorks, other stalkers and anomalies

[solid dome]

Absolute horror in the open can be done with proper ambience and colour palette

[clear kettle]

There are no way to make a simple trip in the garbage at least a bit oppresive ?

[clear kettle]

Yeah, guess that's why I tend to not go too much into the depths

[solid dome]

Controllers, snorks, suckers, aren't scary at all if you have metal music rolling and the environment isn't carefully done

At least I think so

Dunno

[clear kettle]

CS battle soundtrack kick in for a single blind dog
Yeah, I get your point

[solid dome]

With the extra survival elements on top I doubt GSC will pull a surprise with the horror touch

[clear kettle]

They want to expand the survival aspect ?

[solid dome]

Wait maybe they will

Battling Suckers with the Gilka

The new arti detector... Lmfao

[clear kettle]

How can we have another detector upgrade ? Svarov is already pretty accurate

[solid dome]

Na, na, I can't really quote since I don't remember the exact words

[clear kettle]

Fair fair

[solid dome]

Gajunas is your quick source of this, he has it all

Links and stuff

[clear kettle]

Noted

[solid dome]

The man is a walking encyclopedia

[toxic vector]

70% of horror feeling in this game comes from its sound effect

[solid dome]

Yip

[toxic vector]

it makes players feel like there are monster hiding somewhere to ambush protagonist

[clear kettle]

Anything other then sight is the way to go for horror
