Heloft#4509 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sturdy salmon]

i have such a foul mouth, don't i?

[rustic summit]

bruh

[worthy lagoon]

There's some business going on between the military/gov and Duty, they make money out of traders and Arena too

Look at the destroyed helicopter in the brain scorcher forest

If you read its story you will understand

[burnt path]

And that's why we hate duty. Join freedom.

[worthy lagoon]

Actually, i think there would be some cases when Duty and Freedom might join together for a short period of time

[sturdy salmon]

the duty just wants to destroy everything, the zone for them is like what hell is for the doomslayer

meanwhile, the military is just following orders, which would be yo CONTAIN this SOMEWHAT INTERESTING thing before it ENDS THE WORLD

[rustic summit]

they mention in CS that duty and the military are fighting each other. I'm saying it makes more sense for them to work together

[worthy lagoon]

Duty and Military are technically neutral

[rustic summit]

oops walked in the wrong direction and now i have become pancake, this is well worth it for humanity

[sturdy salmon]

i think the military is just assigned to see everybody in the zone as criminals and trespassors, so, i'm not surprised, but yeah it makes sense

[sturdy salmon]

yeah basically duty there

[jaunty mason]

you first

[jaunty mason]

please do not the bloodsucker

[finite dragon]

Glory to Ukraine

where are you from?

Can you survive the war?

Is it true stalker has been delayed until 2023 ?

[dense bear]

are you surprised?

[finite dragon]

Yes..

[dense bear]

then you must be living under a rock

[finite dragon]

We hoped)

I glad the took my advice. At this point they should delay indefinitely.

The fact they’re delaying another year is saying the game isn’t ready. Get rid of the release date and tell people it’ll release when ready.

[finite dragon]

Why?

A..

[dense bear]

with a Pandemic & a War how is one more year unreasonable?

[finite dragon]

Who said it was unreasonable ?

https://youtu.be/z2ezE9yZOWo

I’m advocating they take their time.

[dense bear]

you said to delay indefinetely

[gusty trench]

Ideology was at the start, later it became business.

[dense bear]

they just got their hands on UE5 in August

[finite dragon]

Right. So it’s not unreasoned to delay the game. I’m advocating they delay it indefinitely until the game is ready.

[finite dragon]

?

[dense bear]

sounds like you're saying forever

[finite dragon]

this is cool video

[dense bear]

you just want it to be called off and suddenly released all ready with no warning?

[finite dragon]

i love sound little dark age, and in this video meme

[finite dragon]

Okay.. Like)

[finite dragon]

Until the game is ready=forever ?

[dense bear]

that's a weird way of saying it is all

[finite dragon]

“Delay the release of the game until it’s fully polished” is that better ?

[dense bear]

It's..... Acceptable!

[dense bear]

I would assume in delaying it to 2023 that is just what they are doing.

freedom/duty feud in a nutshell

[mild owl]

so guys

did you check the official site? the russian voice for the game has been cut

wow, also there is LATAM spanish which is great for me

[naive orbit]

hey guys

question, is going to prypiat in COP the endgame or not

[balmy forum]

The story ends there, but you can opt to stay behind an live among bloodsuckers

[naive orbit]

oh

well thats an interesting choice

do you rather live somewhere that you are doomed to be into or do you want to leave and die anyways

its a hard choice

[keen hollow]

if there are axes in stalker 2 i'll be really happy

[brazen patio]

chops hole in door to bloodsucker lair
HEEEEEEERE'S STALKER
bloodsucker screaming in corner

[jaunty mason]

freedom be like

[lunar depot]

bruh

[finite dragon]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

[opal basin]

let us build nuclear reactors in stalker
and.. destroy them. aswell

[finite dragon]

looool

🤨

why?

[opal basin]

cpp is not enough we need more boom

[finite dragon]

you just wanna have a fat man launcher dont you

[opal basin]

i mean i wouldnt mind

[finite dragon]

ua pinging me

[lunar depot]

ukraine pinging you?

[brazen patio]

We should be allowed to capture anomalies in jars and throw them at other mercs.

[lunar depot]

how do I pick a faction here,,,

[finite dragon]

wait a sec

[opal basin]

multiple anomalies in each jar anyone?

[lunar depot]

I can't react to it...

lul, maybe I need to level up or something

[orchid bear]

Please throw off the minimum specifications for STALKER 2

[finite dragon]

Modders will lower them.

You should never hate yourself.

No russian voice acting in stalker 2?

[finite dragon]

No, it's been taken out. Modders will add that too though.

wack asf

It makes sense

please explain

[finite dragon]

You know that war, in Ukraine. It's against Russia, and GSC are Ukrainian. They're just being nationalists.

[mighty axle]

Dude i think the admins in this server stopped being admins

I like freedom!

Kate hikes?

[finite dragon]

yeah remove russian voice acting despite all past games having russian voice acting because russian government did something bad makes sense for russian fans I guess

It's the vagabonds.

exactly. very stupid move.

Russian subtitles are still around.

Vagrants and vagabonds are the problem.

[finite dragon]

bro. that's not the point. its still a silly move by gsc to remove russian voice acting based on world events

[mighty axle]

I think he means he doesnt know wbar a vagabond is and i also dont knoe

[finite dragon]

I agree, I'm just stating that them subs will be there.

so crazy. and now 2023 lol

Don't remind me.

[hazy helm]

Do you know how hard it would be to have Russian VAs come into Ukraine to motion act?for the best or worst,this is probably the best decision

GSC wouldn't remove Russian VAs bc of only just the war that's dumb and invalidates work they have done and prepared for along with making it harder for most ppl in post soviet countries to play the game since most talk russian

What?

[finite dragon]

That's what I thought stupidly, you're right Vasim

[finite dragon]

God forbid russians who has nothing to do with the war flies into a studio to record some lines of dialogue. there exists russian voice actors all over the world

No it's that GSC can hardly find Russian VAs for the job because of the war and they are not removing RU voice actors because they hate Russia now (Well they hate RU's government)

I thought that originally but Vasim has given a good point that makes sense

[hazy helm]

Dude when ppl with Ukrainian last names get searched BC of it in Russia,I wouldn't even call it a far fetched
The bottom line is its riskier and no VA wants to do it so it's been shut down

Assuming GSC isn't doing Russian VAs anymore BC they're Ukrainian is very dumb

[stark steppe]

We hate russia not the people(?)

[finite dragon]

Yeah no. it makes no sense. Remove all russian including subtitles than

no difference

[hazy helm]

🤨 most likely bait

[finite dragon]

bruh
subtitles are alot easier

[stark steppe]

Didn't the russian preorders get canned too

[tranquil inlet]

Ah yes the millions of possible constraints that could be happening, let’s choose GSC being picky and political

[finite dragon]

Whatever GSC's reason is
They have to explain and tell us whats actually happening instead of silence

[tranquil inlet]

Why?

[finite dragon]

I think it's a silly move to prove something. If they want to act goofy and remove something as important as RU voice when all prior games had them they should stop supporting the russian side of servers and swap the audio from the trailer with Ukranian/Eng

[finite dragon]

cause it makes little sense to remove something that fundamental to stalker

Silly Ukranian moment

[hazy helm]

they did one thing thus they must take up to the extreme

[orchid bear]

The russifier will be 100%.

[tranquil inlet]

It could literally be a rouge dev, budget, time, it’s could v because they can’t do it as fast as the other languages due to many factors.
They will probably patch it in themselves or rely on fans.
Y’all are acting like Slavic countries and people isn’t a blurry grey mess

[finite dragon]

shit

[hazy helm]

This conversation is giving me brain rot from both sides Jesus

It's like you can't be in the middle you have to take a side

[finite dragon]

if gsc doesnt have a good reason i think its a reasonable to be angry

[tranquil inlet]

Shits complicated, move on

[finite dragon]

Sorry everyone I started it. I just saw it on the website and wanted to know if anyone had something to say.

[finite dragon]

its better to be this

[tranquil inlet]

Stop trying to light flames

[hazy helm]

What are you talking about?

[tranquil inlet]

What

[finite dragon]

Dialogue should always be allowed even if you don't agree with it man

[hazy helm]

All I'm going to say is,this is a complicated issue,it would be dumb and harm everyone if they didn't have russian localisation so it shouldn't be for such a reason GSC removed it

[tranquil inlet]

It’s probably not them being anti Russian people dumb shit

It could be a list of non anti Russian people and non political shit

[hazy helm]

Like I said,they're doing their best to keep supporting it but is much more likely they can't have russian VAs come in to motion act

[tranquil inlet]

^

[finite dragon]

you'd think that with their initial release date of april 28th they'd have the majority of the story content recorded

[tranquil inlet]

Also the game is on game pass so it can be a image thing as well. When a game is on a service like that, the devs get “suggestions” or it could be any third party involved

We have no clue, so just wait till we actually know

[hazy helm]

You'd be surprised with the ammount of revision work and problems it faces,VAs can be doing work up until weeks before release

[tranquil inlet]

Wait till he finds out that a lot of scenes in movies are dubbed over

[finite dragon]

this sounds very condescending

[tranquil inlet]

Voice work is a hell of a work cycle

[finite dragon]

Don't deflect, you're not doing the community any favors being mean

[mighty axle]

Whos being mean?

[tranquil inlet]

For every second of dialogue you hear in games that’s atleast 30 seconds of saying the same line over and over again.
And that’s not even factoring in the editor trashing it and having the actor re do it

[mighty axle]

I can be meaner

[tranquil inlet]

Voice work is one of the more time consuming aspects of games. It’s why alot of indie devs don’t even do it

Also cost alot

[mighty axle]

I literally play foxhole being salty and mean is a requirement

[finite dragon]

They got monies and more time now

[tranquil inlet]

Yeah, but remember there’s a war going on. They probably didn’t account for a war to happen

[tranquil inlet]

Voice work is one of the things that always keeps getting changed and worked on. Like this fine fellow said.

[finite dragon]

HOLY SHIT

Stalker 2 supports arabic langauge Now!!!!
im double hyped now

[tranquil inlet]

Also a funny thought is that a dev could have a family member that doesn’t know Ukrainian and has to play the game with the very little Ukrainian they do know. “Dam you bro, making me play in Ukrainian!”

[finite dragon]

Yeah read subtitles and manage your inventory while in a gunfight through the scripted event

Than learn these languages lol
German
French
Spanish
Italian
Polish
Czech
Turkish
Serbian
Brazilian Portuguese
LATAM Spanish
Russian
Arabic Language
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional
Japanese
Korean

[finite dragon]

but then i have to read subtitles and manage my inventory while in a gunfight through the scripted event

[tranquil inlet]

A lot of those are probably out sourced to Microsoft or some other company due to being on game pass

[finite dragon]

crazy right lol how about staying consistent with your demographic

it'll get added for sure. the amount of backlash would be enough

[finite dragon]

Dude
its bad they removed Russian VA ik
im disappointed too
but tbh its not a reason to attack anyone
im sure GSC got a good reason
if they dont have a good reason you have the right to be angry and talk loud about it

[tranquil inlet]

It’s gonna get added regardless if people make a fit about it or not. Unless it’s one government or the other doing some typical bs

[finite dragon]

exactly bro. I'm not stressing cause I get english. but I know my russian brothers are gonna have a tough time and there wasn't any reason behind this

[finite dragon]

i know how much people would suffer from this
i also knew how much my arabic brothers would suffer without subtitles
(but gsc added arabic in the end)
TBH if russian Subtitles exists that would be a huge help
At least they didnt remove all of the russian VA and subtitles

[tranquil inlet]

60% of Russian and Ukrainian are similar

There’s gonna be a fan patch within 3 days if the devs don’t do it lol

[finite dragon]

As a spanish speaker, trying to converse with italians and portuguese mfs is still not easy despite all three being latin derivatives lol

[tranquil inlet]

Subtitles

[finite dragon]

terrible way to think about it bro

[tranquil inlet]

It’s more of a syntax thing. I can navigate my way around Texas spanish games somewhat

Even tho I don’t know Spanish

Same thing with German

[finite dragon]

that's too far for me lol

[tranquil inlet]

English is Germanic

[finite dragon]

yeah but reading german is a different story

[tranquil inlet]

German is Germanic

It’s similar syntax and what not

[finite dragon]

i would say its mostly vocabulary that'd be hard to distinguish

[tranquil inlet]

Bitte is please bier is beer

1 pint bier bitte

[finite dragon]

river is fluss bro and they dont look like the same word

mountain - berg same shiz

[tranquil inlet]

Berg is literally a root word for big

[finite dragon]

reaganbogen and rainbow is menatl gymnastics if you've never studied german

maybe you're just hella big brain bro and you know it

[tranquil inlet]

They literally look the same

Still in English and quite in German sound the same and have similar meanings

One is to stop moving and one is to be quite

I’ll find the spelling rq

[finite dragon]

go ask a native english speaker with no german im sure %90+ will say the same 🥺

[tranquil inlet]

I literally do not know german besides like 5 words

That I picked up from the villa locals

[finite dragon]

here it sounded like you can navigate you way around a german phrase with just syntax and 5 words

[tranquil inlet]

sei bitte still is a fun phase

Bot go brrr

[ashen axle]

Cyrus#4541 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tranquil inlet]

I said bad poop word

But anyway with not to much effort a English speaker can learn enough German to play a German fps game. So it’s possible for Russians to learn Ukrainian in stalker, considering it’s far similar language

And there’s gonna be a fan patch or a official Russian va anyway

[chilly vessel]

after what is happening in their country, they have that right

Atomic Heart devs Leave russia a few Months Before war, From What i Heard They move to Cyprus

[mighty axle]

Evade bot with using numbers instesd of letters where you can

But thats not fun

[chilly vessel]

Btw does moderation work?

Also just to be mean pretend i said some derogatory words or something (not really being mean i just got a weird way of playing around)

[granite coral]

Hey guys

[chilly vessel]

Hello

[granite coral]

Hey m8

[uncut hamlet]

which stalker game is best to start with

[kindred stream]

SoC feels the best to start with

Then CS to get more answers and CoP to see the follow up to it all

[granite coral]

SoC > CS > CoP @uncut hamlet

[uncut hamlet]

im so hyped to start CS and CoP but i gotta finish SoC first and it takes like a ton of hours

i also wish i had friends who were stalker pros so they could help me

[kindred stream]

I got a friend into anomaly because I just wont shut up about stalker lmao

I'm hoping they end up buying the series to get the proper experience though

[uncut hamlet]

only anomaly

[kindred stream]

I guess they wanted to try it before dropping money on it

[uncut hamlet]

i bought the entire collection for 19 bucks

[kindred stream]

Yeah it's stupid cheap, definitely worth it

[uncut hamlet]

aud

[uncut hamlet]

its only at the moment cause each game is 70% off and the bundle is 50% off

[kindred stream]

I'd gift it to them but I'm broke too at the moment lmao so I'll have to pass on that there's a sale on

[uncut hamlet]

i just blowed all my money off on an adidas tracksuit

Xbox Showcase

[boreal girder]

If they had something to show, they would have done so at the main event. I don't think we'll see anything yet again, maybe an announcement about the delay since the cat got out of the bag earlier than intended.
Other than that, nothing.

[tired anvil]

We saw GSC managing to piss off an entire segment of the community

Which I find pretty amazing and a bit funny lmao

[red ledge]

i dont agree with removal of russian language but oh well. I, from cis (moldova) was gonna play with russian audio, guess ill play with english

[red ledge]

what time

[granite coral]

20.00

stream is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdyrJX-1pgc

[red ledge]

3 hours

[granite coral]

Yup

[red ledge]

oh, i got this from their website " An extended look at games from Sunday's showcase "

so i think 90% chance that we dont see stalker

[granite coral]

We'll see 3 hours later

[sturdy salmon]

i convinced one of my friends to try out stalker, but they went outright into Call of Pripyat because it is kinda less linear than the other games

i... don't feel too proud of it now

[worthy lagoon]

this is a crime against humanity

[tired anvil]

How did he know if it's linear or not if he never played 🤔

[sturdy salmon]

i told him about it

my friends have a condition i name-coined the "Half-Life: Source Syndrome"

[potent bluff]

[sturdy salmon]

i had another friend convinced of trying out half-life, but they downloaded Half-Life: Source of the actual hl1 goldscr

[broken stone]

I went for cop first cuz i read that it was the best to learn the overall feel and mechanics of the game

Also least buggy, it seems

[sturdy salmon]

so the basic definition of this syndrome is that it is a condition where the person willingly or accidentally plays a game belonging to a franchise which isn't the first released game

[sturdy salmon]

yeah, on the other note, that is a good point to try out CoP first

since all i talked about with him was the anomaly mod

i wouldn't stop them from not playing the original games, but i told him that he is obligated to try them out sometime

[broken stone]

I tried anomaly and found it really boring and difficult cuz of a lack of direction or any way to learn mechanics thoroughly

[sturdy salmon]

they're masterpieces that need to be consumed

oh welp, yeah, i'm loving anomaly and i do not play with the story mode on lol

i've been playing stalker for many years now, so i know what i'm doing most of the time (...i guess)

[velvet bronze]

chat unlocked now

[clever hazel]

what are the odds on there being anything at this xbox showcase? i assume not especially high

[tired anvil]

Yes

[tired anvil]

Low probably

[clever hazel]

the UA dub for the original trilogy was very good honestly it would be cool if they just leaned into that

[tired anvil]

Well, it's one of two remaining dubs now, so that is a given

[runic oak]

Despite how impatient fans are, I hope GSC just takes time to do what’s best for both them and the game. We only get to have S2 once, so why not allow it to cook to as near perfection as possible? No need to rush or crunch. All our impatience will be forgotten once the game is out. ❤️

[clever hazel]

we've waited ten years already, we can all easily manage a couple more

Ping me if anything S.T.A.L.K.E.R. related appear

Im playing crysis right now

What do you mean by Ping ? In french version of discord when I right-click there is "To call", is that it ?

[timber violet]

@balmy hound thats a ping

[balmy hound]

Thanks ! I wasn't sure of the translation from french

[timber violet]

or that one

Its okay 😄

[fringe steppe]

By ping i meant @

[timber violet]

Why is chat in slowmode?

[balmy hound]

Oh okay I see !

[fringe steppe]

I have no idea

[timber violet]

I never understand why things are so strict here

[balmy hound]

It's been this way since re-opening, to avoid disorders

10 seconds

[tired anvil]

Dudes been saying that since 2018

Gonna be honest, it's not so much fun anymore lmao

[mild owl]

Yeah but there’s not much we can do but to wait and speculate

[balmy hound]

Yep

I'm silent but i'm still here guys

[mild owl]

Also the Xbox extended showcase is really just trivia for the previous one, while we might see somethin due to the PR manager sayin how GSC was gonna reveal the delay within the next few days I really don’t think we’ll see it at this show

[mild owl]

Hey there

[balmy hound]

Hello !

[tired anvil]

I didn't see no S2 logo when they just flashed all the game logos

[mild owl]

Oh wow, didn’t saw that but yeah, there’s no way it’ll be here

[tired anvil]

Only hope is for a "surprise"

[balmy hound]

There's a surprise or there is not, those 10 community managers connected is uncanny.

[mild owl]

Then we’re just gonna get a text announcement after everythin and maybe if we’re lucky a gameplay trailer at gamescom

[tired anvil]

I've seen more of them online and nothing happening

[balmy hound]

Haha my bad

[mild owl]

If not we can expect some journalist at IGN or PC gamer to do a deep dive, or TGA

[mild owl]

It do be like that, but we’ll see

[stark widget]

I’d settle for a photo of a cup of coffee on one of the devs desk at this point lol…

[silver tangle]

yooo, chat open

[mild owl]

I would honestly think they were plannin somethin since they opened up the channels here just in time before the showcases, but then again that was just my hopium

[stark widget]

Even to see 1 or 2 new screenshots would be amazing. I do get their situation though- it’s as bad as things can get basically so understand completely these release date changes.

[mild owl]

Maybe at gamescom bro, give them time

[silver tangle]

I'm ready for a years-long delay to be honest if it's necessary. Nothing is getting better these days, economy and otherwise. We all just got a fat log dumped on us by life.

[balmy hound]

I think the same, but first I can be wrong, and second it's just so much fun to get the soft signs when others don't care at all when it's under their eyes.

[stark widget]

Honestly, as long as it DOES come out that’s good enough. We’ve got the old games and Anomaly etc in the meantime.

[mild owl]

What a way to put it lmao

[stark widget]

“A big fat anomalous log”

[ashen axle]

Pukich#1646 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[mild owl]

I can see this game bein delayed maximum at 2024, it was already supposed to launch this year but with the removal of the Russian language which previously was the one used for motion capture and wherever bugs can happen I do see this game bein Q3/4 2023

[sand jungle]

Boring ppl talking in showcase

[mild owl]

Even tho the Xbox showcase indicates we’re seein this game on H1 2023

[mild owl]

Yeah, it’s just trivia bro, not worth it

[sonic rampart]

My god, how can people be excited for Starfield

[tired anvil]

I can easily see it in Q1/2 2023 tbh

[sonic rampart]

Same

[sand jungle]

Fr

Finally end this

[mild owl]

If that we’re the case we would’ve seen gameplay, if GSC is not ready to show anythin even tho they have less than lest say, between 7-12 months they would have somethin out like they did at the previous one

[silver tangle]

[sonic rampart]

As far as we know, spicy content is only gonna come a couple of months prior to the release

[balmy hound]

Was the interview about Starfield ? My memory is so selective and GSC-oriented I didn't even care about what game he was talking about haha.

[sonic rampart]

But that was before the first delay

[mild owl]

Maybe Q2, not Q1

[tired anvil]

Okay but literally what is the basis for your point. They just never show stuff, I think that's easy to accept alongside the game coming out eventually

That's my take on it at least

[sand jungle]

We can wait for along time just needed to show us the gameplay new mutants new maps

[tired anvil]

You got a new mutant and new areas already

[sand jungle]

Not sure the mutants

[worthy lagoon]

Though i wouldn't agree much on radio silence, since it's pre-order open i'd say it would be nice to give out more informations in how the game is going and such

[mild owl]

My basis is how GSC appeared on every E3 event except this one, not sayin is not justified because of course it is, just sayin that they know how important it is to promote your game at the biggest gamin event, even if it is ways off. Unless of course it’s just not ready to even be showed

[clever hazel]

oh for sure it's not something i particularly want, it's just a matter of like there's not a whole lot that can be done

[tired anvil]

They only appeared at 1 E3 from what I recall 🤔

[mild owl]

E3 event is also the ones where Xbox has to make their own with the showcase

Also all the times they promoted the original trilogy back at E3

[worthy lagoon]

I am going to insult all of them (the XBOX showcase hosts), they are showcasing the same games @tired anvil

[sand jungle]

With some RTX

[clever hazel]

i think the point of the showcase is just to sit down with some PR guys and talk about the most popular games coming out of it tbh. i'm not expecting any new reveals from this

[tired anvil]

I honestly don't remember then at any other E3 other than when they showed off the trailer

[fringe steppe]

They deserve a slap that whistles across the cheek

[tired anvil]

I remember an art being shown off at a Ukrainian event back in 2019

Which imo goes to show that they do events sorta randomly

[mild owl]

It’s just the biggest event, if you had your game to be ready in between 7-10 months (Q1) then it would mean it’s ready to at least be showed, specially at the biggest event ever where everybody has their eyes to what’s comin next

[mild owl]

The CGI trailer back at the 2020 Xbox showcase which was basically E3 but not E3

[tired anvil]

God damn that really was 2020

[balmy hound]

I see some "Stalker 2" in the Youtube chat on Xbox channel, at least we're not alone !

And some Stalker 3 haha

[tired anvil]

Also Slime Rancher 2

[fringe steppe]

I wish we had sly cooper 5 lol

Oh wait,its a sony exclusive,sorry

That is xbox channel

[balmy hound]

Well, that's not looking good for today again

The show is 90 minutes though

[sand jungle]

Just talking ppl

[balmy hound]

Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind the devs speaking to give news, even if there is not much of the game.

[mild owl]

My point is that GSC knows how important it is, so I don’t think if they were to launch H1 2023 they would miss this event.

If they still plan to do so, then they for sure need to appear at gamescom or TGA.

My guess is Q3/4

[balmy hound]

I'm pretty pessimistic too, ElPerro

[mild owl]

Honestly yeah but we had a lot of that, there was an interview with gaming bolt may last year if I believe along with the PC gamer article back in December

[mild owl]

It is what it is, but my most pessimistic take rn is 2024

[balmy hound]

Yep...

[mild owl]

Found the gamin bolt interview: https://gamingbolt.com/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-interview-open-world-branching-story-atmosphere-and-more/amp

[timber violet]

it already says 2023 on their website

no need to speculate anymore

[mild owl]

Yeah, that was because Microsoft revealed it earlier accordin the PC gamer article

[mild owl]

But it’s fun, and the only thing to do besides waitin

[timber violet]

meh

[static compass]

This new?

[tired anvil]

2021

[timber violet]

2021? release date confirmed pagman

all i hope is they just tease us a lil bit more

i just wanna see more of anything

[finite dragon]

Just looking in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive makes me sick
Ukrainians hate russians for no reason
And russians hate Ukrainians for no reason

[timber violet]

oh pff they say 2023 because it was shown on that page of microsoft

that also leaked resident evil 4

[tired anvil]

Russians got their audio removed from S2, that's why

And Ukrainians are getting bombed

[finite dragon]

I know

[timber violet]

Wdym? as in the in game characters wont speak Russian now and instead speak Ukrainian?

[tired anvil]

English or Ukrainian, yes

[finite dragon]

yes

[timber violet]

Fine by me 🤷‍♀️

[fringe steppe]

Well,i dont know if one side will conquer the other,i just hope this war ends

[finite dragon]

Russians are respectively saying that removing the language isnt the right choice

[tired anvil]

Site got updated last night

[balmy hound]

I'm ok with the delay (although my mood is low of course), but the hardest part was that rude board xD

[mild owl]

No, it’s may from last year

[finite dragon]

(the best thing that they included arabic subtitles!!!!!!!)

[tired anvil]

Some did it respectively, most did not

[mild owl]

Ngl it’s kinda funny

[timber violet]

Its only Turkish though

[finite dragon]

Wdym?

LATAM spanish lmao

funny

[timber violet]

Arabic has many different ways of it being "spoken" so Turkish doesnt mean just any Arab will be able to understand

[mild owl]

Only funny when the ones copin about it are the same ones who promoted piratin and in general were horrible, otherwise sad

[static compass]

Anyone know what the majority of Russians are saying about the game?

[tired anvil]

They are pissed

[granite coral]

I think we won't see the S2 today...

[mild owl]

Ahuevoooo

[static compass]

I imagine it's mostly negative

[finite dragon]

Arabic is its own language
And turkish is its own language
What are you talking about?

[timber violet]

Im blind I didnt see "Arabic Language"

[balmy hound]

Chainsaw massacre the game haha

[mild owl]

When it’s not callin the developers words I can’t say here it’s sayin how the company shouldn’t be political

[static compass]

It's a bad situation either way I guess

[finite dragon]

Tbh theres the people who pre-ordered it
They don't deserve that

[static compass]

I'm have a feeling that most Russian players will pirate it anyway

[tired anvil]

Dudes got subtitles

[static compass]

At the very least they'll probably end up playing it in Ukrainian with subs

[full estuary]

Ruzzians are ruzzians they will be mad anyway

[finite dragon]

Subtitles isn't as good as VA tbh
Also there wont be any chreeki breeki :(((((

So GSC won't bother with RU va after war ends?

[sonic rampart]

What do you mean there won't be any cheeki breeki

[fringe steppe]

Russian fans kinda deserved
They know gsc is situated in ukraine,but still wish that eveyone in ukraine suffers,if at least they had some respect

[balmy hound]

That's likely, and I hope GSC has some ideas to handle this the right way.

[finite dragon]

So ultimatwly HOC will have no Russian?

[mild owl]

I guess? But at the same time Ukrainians did not deserved their country to be invaded.

And they still have subtitles so it’s not really a problem, but sad since we won’t get the typical cheeki breeiki but still, I’m sure it’ll be fine

[sonic rampart]

The Russian and Ukrainian dubs for all 3 OG games was mostly done by the same dudes

[finite dragon]

That's biased, lot than all

[tired anvil]

Idk, last time I checked, you read in a lot of the Stalker games anyway. And then there's people who say that Ukrainian and Russian sound the same. So I see 0 problems

[static compass]

I was gonna play the game in Ukrainian anyway, just feels more immersive that way

[sonic rampart]

Most of them being Ukrainian

[finite dragon]

Don't get me wrong

[fringe steppe]

Same

[finite dragon]

Also the quality of the performance is important
I hope it doesnt suck (the english and the Ukrainian VA)

[finite dragon]

But you're saying that everyone is a barbarian in Russia?

[mild owl]

True, my biggest fear with this is that the voice doesn’t match the lips no matter the audio choice

[tired anvil]

I imagine the UA VA would be better off since it's made by people who speak it as their native language

But idk the VA's other than Barkeep so yeah

[woven token]

any slavic language is better than playing with english imo, hell I'd rather have a polish dub than english 😂

[mild owl]

It will be if it matches their lip sync, which will hopefully happen

[sonic rampart]

I'm almost sure that the mo cap was done with ukrainian in mind

[fringe steppe]

Im not saying everyone,what im saying is that some russian fans were wishing for death for ukrainians,even though they knew gsc was ukrianian

[mild owl]

No, it was Russian. We know because of the trailer

[fringe steppe]

That may be the reason for no russian

[tired anvil]

He says in mind

Not just with it

[woven token]

also hoping that the English dub isn't fake accent city

[tired anvil]

It could be done with all 3 languages for all we know

[finite dragon]

Guys you know the trailer had RU voice acting right? Just a reminder

[balmy hound]

It's a hard part for me the russian dubs removal because I'm learning russian since years and I wanted to improve it thanks to Stalker 2, but I prefer to sacrify a part of my hype if that saves lives, needless to say

[finite dragon]

As far as i remember
They recorded face capture and motion capture at the same Time

[finite dragon]

Oh bruh
aye

[mild owl]

Okay that would be a lot of money, like, Xbox better have more than 3 months of exclusive type of money

[tired anvil]

Griga is rich

GSC raised 800k in a week with the latest sale alone

Can't imagine how much they made over the last few years

[finite dragon]

Well... I don't think it would unless I am missing something

[mild owl]

Yeah but AAA game development can be expensive, like, hundreds of millions expensive

[balmy hound]

It was a charity sale Gajunas

[static compass]

I thought it was Ukrainian

[finite dragon]

Anyways
If GSC announces this
They better have a good reason
If they dont want to start another war from russians lol

[static compass]

Pretty sure they literally said that

[balmy hound]

I don't have the answer myself whether it's the right choice or not.

[urban quail]

gsc keeps digging themselves a bigger grave for s2 lol

[covert torrent]

Tbh i wanted so much to play it on Ru VA, but i guess i could not

[tired anvil]

It's an example of how quickly they can raise a lot of money. Just imagine how much they made over the years with other sales + pre-orders

[tired anvil]

Griga is rich.

[balmy hound]

In any case i'll be glad to play Stalker 2 in ukrainian, no way I play it with english dubs if I can choose it haha

[balmy hound]

If I remember well, they broke some records with that sale, it's not representative of the average sales.

[tired anvil]

I don't recall records being broken, but I've seen damn well how rich Griga is and I have no doubts about them having 0 problems with funds

[civic drift]

Anything at Xbox extended for STALKER 2?

[urban quail]

i don't think there was

[mild owl]

Yeah if that were the case they wouldn’t have partnered with Microsoft, which from what devs are talkin about puttin your game on gamepass pretty covers the cost day one

[balmy hound]

For now, no. Either a surprise at the ending, either nothing for today...

[civic drift]

[mild owl]

Not really

[tawny helm]

So I already checked #🖤┃s2-pre-order and #🔍┃ask_gscarchive awhile ago and both were dead ends. looked through google and not much there; does anyone know where or how to order the "Ultimate Edition PC" with the package and items?

[urban quail]

you know they're going to dumb down the game for console players
really do not like the idea for s2 on xbox

[tired anvil]

Well, depends on your region, but generally #🖤┃s2-pre-order has it

[timber violet]

Why are you so sure about that?

[urban quail]

because it's happened with every other pc game with a console release

[tired anvil]

They said that the versions will be different, who knows

[tawny helm]

Yeah I followed the link for my region and it displayed no ability to purchase it, i guess it's plausible to be sold out but it gave no information.

[tired anvil]

Probably. What's your region?

[timber violet]

What do you really need to dumb down? maybe aim assist for console players but thats about it

[tawny helm]

NA

[tired anvil]

He means a simplified UI and stuff like that

[tired anvil]

Then yea, still need to wait some time

[ashen axle]

TRILLSTEEZY#5181 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fringe steppe]

I kinda want a simplified UI

[tawny helm]

.__.

[urban quail]

i don't really, the soc/cs/cop ui was fine

• most of the controls are going to be streamlined for console players

[timber violet]

Is it that difficult to make 2 versions if its just UI?

[civic drift]

GSC knows what we want they've read #📜┃s2_suggestions I highly doubt they would anger the fan base by removing depth

[tired anvil]

Not really

[civic drift]

Or "consolifong"

[urban quail]

i don't exactly trust gsc

[tired anvil]

And they already mentioned how the versions will be different, so I don't think it'll be that bad

[timber violet]

When you say dumb down I assume more stupid AI or weak story, but if its not things like that then why do you care that much

[urban quail]

you really shouldn't trust any game company

[timber violet]

We dont, we just hope for the best

Doesnt mean you have to be a doomer ya know

[ashen axle]

The moderation here baffles me :sigh:

[urban quail]

'then why do you care that much' because i don't want the devs messing up s2
even though that's what they're 95% going to do

[timber violet]

Well ofcourse not, no one here wants that, but you're instantly going for the bad take rather than being 50:50

[urban quail]

idk man the last time they tried this project they went bankrupt
🤷‍♂️

• the whole russian VA thing doesn't fill me with confidence, alongside how like half the factions look

[tired anvil]

They didn't go bankrupt

[timber violet]

Yes and this time they have Microsoft money, its very easy money for Microsoft and maybe they gave GSC full freedom

[tired anvil]

Griga closed the studio because he thought the old S2 was trash and wasn't feeling it

Dude drivers sports cars and has his own motorcycle track. AIn't no way that man is bankrupt

[balmy hound]

This is so looking bad for today guys

[mild owl]

It’ll be fine, nobody expected GSC to actually appear in that conference

[balmy hound]

I am not nobody !

[mild owl]

We should expect them to appear at gamescom tho, since it’s august

[mild owl]

No, you’re legend

[balmy hound]

haha

[mild owl]

[timber violet]

If anything, Microsoft looks like one of the better companies right now for gaming

They have very high earnings too, so giving GSC freedom regarding S2 is not out of reach

[urban quail]

yeah dude totally halo infinite was the best game ever

[balmy hound]

Showcase from last year was great, but Microsoft missed it this year.

[mild owl]

From what I’ve heard accordin to several Journalists focused on Xbox Microsoft has invested and helped GSC a lot

[mild owl]

Agree, I personally think that even tho last years conference had an awful endin i do agree it was better

[tired anvil]

DM me some of those

[mild owl]

But that prob because I’m biased for stalker 2

[balmy hound]

Probably, but even though it was not a perfect showcase, last year was the best compared to the vacuum in other showcases.

They're talking Xbox employees in Africa, we are far from Stalker 2.

[clever hazel]

last year was huge honestly, stalker 2 basically got top billing

[tired anvil]

The hell

Bruh

Really

The African woman just drops S2 as they go to the end

[balmy hound]

Stalker 2 rocked the whole summer last year

[static compass]

They're talking about stalker

[balmy hound]

Wow

[static compass]

Oh I'm late lol

[tired anvil]

I didn't even realise that this is the lady who announced it last year

[balmy hound]

STALKER 2 TIME

[granite coral]

They probably won't show anything but just talk about it

[red ledge]

[timber violet]

[red ledge]

[dry spire]

Out of curiosity, are they going to add the option to play in Russian with english subtitles?

[gray seal]

probably

[timber violet]

No, only russian subtitles

[fringe steppe]

We all are,and we will be even more happy after the war ends

[finite dragon]

ID RATHER IT BE DELAYED

[urban quail]

its been going on since 2014 so idk man

[quaint seal]

[granite coral]

[finite dragon]

2011 actually

So has, the Zone expanded past Ukraine now or is that just a dub for the radio.

[chrome flicker]

I didnt think a discord announcement would make me emotional

[half linden]

same

[finite dragon]

nah bro just to get another unfinished game from a AAA studio no thx id rather wait another 10 years knowing the game will be in full course

[ashen flame]

why does the trailer say 2023? did it get delayed again?

[urban quail]

Yeah

[fiery heron]

yeah

[chrome flicker]

understandably yes

[upper badger]

yup

[graceful sentinel]

Yup. For obvious reasons.

[clear kettle]

Probably yeah

[ashen flame]

that sucks

[half linden]

yeah

[finite dragon]

nop

[urban quail]

lets hope they reverse the decision for russian va's sometime soon or in 2023

[half linden]

it sucks but it's also good, i'd rather a polished game than an unfinished one

[ashen flame]

true

[finite dragon]

THE ZONE IS ABOUT STALEKRS, AND BEING A STALKER IS ABOUT FREEDOM! JOIN US!

[hearty pike]

SLAVA UKRAINE

[finite dragon]

the fact that they still work is enough no matter how long time they need

[urban quail]

bandera's greatest fighter

[hearty pike]

We should be glad they are working on the game at all

[half linden]

agreed 100%

[forest urchin]

What is the new release date

[timber violet]

just 2023

[graceful sentinel]

2023

honestly that trailer was amazin, wishin Ukraine nothin less but victory regardless of the game.

I thought the zone was always "expanding" and the c-consciousness was containing it

Though ofc i will play the game with UA dub and ENG sub

[finite dragon]

Trailer looks cool

[hard stirrup]

save this man

[quaint seal]

The thing at the end of the trailer, was it an anomaly ? I don't recognize it

[oblique crypt]

Must be a new anomaly

[hearty pike]

We are gonna get new anomalies for sure

[scenic surge]

Hello

[wispy venture]

Can't wait for stalker 2s eventual release in Novemeber 2073

Seeing anomalys with modern graphics is going to be amazing. lol

Doesn’t sound “stalker”, hopefully the characters in the trailer are the only ones that sound like that.

[oblique crypt]

Imma call it meteorite anomaly

[quaint seal]

can't wait to die with new anomaly

[zinc pawn]

C-Consciousness got destroyed by the Marked One

Oh yeah,it will be mind blowing.

[fringe steppe]

It doesnt have the goofy accent like the ogs

[tranquil inlet]

Goofy? Always thought they sounded good lol

[wispy venture]

As long as I'm alive when it comes out I'm happy

[graceful sentinel]

Hopefully Mod support is just as good as the previous games too.

[zinc pawn]

Tbh looked like a new flip on the Wish Granter

[peak minnow]

Depends on ending, but yea it looks like the zone will be expanding so destroy it would be canon

[bold lily]

Such is life in the zone

[fiery heron]

still keeping my preorder tho, idc how long it takes for the game to come out

[hearty pike]

I prefer regular english to english VA's putting on a bad ukrainian accent

[wispy venture]

I'll be on my deathbed with my valve index 23 ready for it

[balmy hound]

Colors of the trailer are absolutely wonderful.

[zinc pawn]

Canonically it was destroyed

[chrome flicker]

my question is what will be the goal of our current protag? it looks like he's chasing after Леон Кеннеди

[peak minnow]

Well i learn something every day, thanks for info!

[timber violet]

rewatched trailer in 2k, so nice, probably not in game engine though

[signal dove]

Honestly if you don't like the goofy voices just change the spoken language from english to whatever

[half linden]

i'm debating on buying that expensive preorder pack, but thats a lot of money :/

[signal dove]

It's just as silly, plus the authenticity

[urban quail]

no?

[chrome flicker]

is "Леон Кеннеди" trying to jump start the zone again?

[random barn]

in the trailer they mentioned a city?

[wispy venture]

They might well pull a metro and pick a different ending

[quaint seal]

I want to buy it so bad, but no money lol

[urban quail]

zone was never destroyed after cop

[random barn]

is it kyiv? because it's the closest to the zone

[clear kettle]

Why is there so much activity

[balmy hound]

Once you've made it, you won't think about it and just wait the game.

[tranquil inlet]

I’ll be changing it to Ukrainian for sure. I like having it sound like the place it’s set in

[finite dragon]

2023?

[half linden]

true true, maybe:)

[fiery heron]

new trailer dropped

Using his AKM-74/2U, Strelok proceeds to shoot the pods, destroying the C-Consciousness. However, this fails to undo the damage done by the C-Consciousness, as the Zone became more unstable and emissions grew more frequent, as evidenced in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

[urban quail]

yeahhh about that

[keen hollow]

i love the references to the intro of Shadow of Chernobyl in this trailer

[finite dragon]

you are such a funny guy!

[chrome flicker]

Ukraine has already won, its just a matter of time before Russia collapses

[random barn]

yes I know what is happening and it's hard to be optimistic

[urban quail]

yeah you talked abt the zone not the c-conciousness in that text

[forest urchin]

Oh I thought it was one of the devs you got Me there

[wind torrent]

thanks

[grave nimbus]

Dont worry guys, woman wasn't in the zone, she was just a journalist, immersion isnt ruined

[fiery monolith]

Well I like the way they subtlety slipped the next delay into the end of that trailer.

[urban quail]

yeah bro they are MARCHING on moscow rn

[velvet flax]

Don’t like the VA. Bad attempt at an accent

[zinc pawn]

No? I said the C-Consciousness was destroyed

[random barn]

again I really don't care when the game is released, I just hope the people and devs of ukraine can live in peace

[chrome flicker]

russia is collapsing economically, not militarily

[tranquil inlet]

🦢

[clear kettle]

Give it spice I guess

[chrome flicker]

you dont need to march on a states capitol to win

[urban quail]

no

[finite dragon]

yes but they dont have unlimited military

[velvet flax]

Yeah

[finite dragon]

cant throw everything in Ukraine in one moment they must stop

[random barn]

both, actually. I'm surprised russia is still fighting considering they have their greatest losses since WWII

[worthy lagoon]

The actual VA in the radio sounds German (possible SIIRCA PR), maybe it's on purpose?

[urban quail]

the ruble has gained most, if not all of it's value back

• some european companies keep buying oil

[ebon hatch]

Why did the game's name changed from Heart Of Chernobyl to Heart of Chorobyl. excuse me

[grizzled forge]

Ruble has no value bcs its not public 🙂

[chrome flicker]

@random barn as true as this is, they still have many more soldiers to send

[random barn]

chornobyl is the Ukrainian spelling

[forest urchin]

As we buy oil from Russia (Germany) they are funding their milktary campaing against ukraine

[ebon hatch]

oh

[chrome flicker]

theyll run out of funding before they run out of equipment

[hearty pike]

It gained value, but to buy what from whom?

[urban quail]

idk bro i feel like we really shouldn't trust the ukrainian government in russian casualties

[worthy lagoon]

Chornobyl is the UA spelling, while Chernobyl is the Russian spelling

[pseudo rivet]

Ukrainian name, so yeah

[random barn]

yeah they've been quietly cutting out any and all references to russia in their game

[finite dragon]

true

[mild owl]

Honestly my favorite part was seein how the rubble floated around the anomaly, literally so awesome

[chrome flicker]

who knew freedumb would also have bad takes on real world events too

[urban quail]

they make all their own shit lol

[pseudo rivet]

Nice

[ebon hatch]

thx

[urban quail]

cry about it

[pseudo rivet]

That's a certified Rule 3 moment right there

[urban quail]

i said 'shit'

[chrome flicker]

dont you have a mutant to have sex with

[pseudo rivet]

Hella

[hearty pike]

They don't. They need computer chips from places like Taiwan and the USA

[urban quail]

don't you have bad takes to continue spewing around

[grizzled forge]

I think you picked wrong server to be pro-russian on

[random barn]

not the Ukrainian government, there were leaks from Russian media saying it was around that estimate

[peak minnow]

Noah do be lookin sus

[urban quail]

computer chips in an ak74m very cool thank you

[random barn]

the US and UK estimates put russian deaths a bit lower though

[urban quail]

i doubt that too

i don't believe ukraine's going to be bloodier than chechnya

[hearty pike]

Computer chips to run your oil rigs and make sure your missiles work

[chrome flicker]

damn no one can be right as long as it goes against what i personally believe, not even russia themselves

[random barn]

it's already bloodier than chechnya lol

[chrome flicker]

freedumb working overtime

[urban quail]

yeah thats hard to believe

[random barn]

on the Ukrainian side it's even worse considering Ukraine also needs to tend to civilian casualties

[chrome flicker]

how do you manage to be more pro russia than russian state media

[urban quail]

'pro russia than russian state media'

you are from chicago or some shit

[random barn]

so like...tsar grozny?

[abstract fiber]

what kind of insult is that

man made everyone stop typing instantly

[forest urchin]

I mean if we stop buying shit from Russia we will end the war because their economics are trash at this point and it would be the last hit

[chrome flicker]

lmao

[random barn]

we don't buy shit from russia hello

[chrome flicker]

their economy is already fucked, and the war is making them spend money they dont have

[forest urchin]

Oil

[storm kindle]

Oh jeez

[random barn]

what country you live in mereg?

[forest urchin]

Lithuania

[random barn]

oooooh makes sense

[void vortex]

The radio guy. That accent, what is it? It sounds German or Dutch

[urban quail]

it's physically impossible to buy nearly product from russia unless you're in eastern europe

[random barn]

yeah you are in a tough spot lol

[urban quail]

it is 5 dollars a gallon for gas in the US

[finite dragon]

We in Bulgaria dont have gas from Russia they stop the gas :DDDD

[hearty pike]

Russia - 4353, of which: destroyed: 2577, damaged: 81, abandoned: 319, captured: 1376
Tanks (774, of which destroyed: 438, damaged: 21, abandoned: 53, captured: 262)
Armoured Fighting Vehicles (432, of which destroyed: 259, damaged: 3, abandoned: 36, captured: 134)
Armoured Personnel Carriers (116, of which destroyed: 43, damaged: 3, abandoned: 14, captured: 56)

[tired anvil]

We got 0% gas from Russia

[storm kindle]

Imagine trying to simplify incredibly complicated global politics and create arguments based on grossly oversimplified takes in a video game discord

[random barn]

that's funny, that's the AVERAGE price. In california it's going beyond $8 per gallon

[finite dragon]

same 😄

[forest urchin]

Like if Russia cant defeat Ukraine well invading us would be toast

[urban quail]

yeah

[chrome flicker]

despite the fact a barrel of oil is only $120

[random barn]

in the UK I've heard it's already around $10 usd

[tired anvil]

Yea and in the cheapest EU country it's still more than in California

[abstract fiber]

still $4.16 at the gas station i go to here in florida

[keen hollow]

Definitely didn't sound slavic...

[forest urchin]

We dont but there are alot of countrys that do

[urban quail]

this is the most untrue statement i've ever heard

[chrome flicker]

the price of gas is up because of price gouging

[pseudo rivet]

Capitalism, gotta love it

[violet jacinth]

disappointed.. day ruined

[urban quail]

lithuania is in nato

[ashen axle]

Adirgs#8550 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[storm kindle]

Heck

[random barn]

:/

[urban quail]

oh yeah and it's clearly not the sign of an economic depression

[chrome flicker]

in 2008 a price of a barrel of oil was $175 and adjusted for inflation was $5.37

[violet jacinth]

they just remade soc intro in the new trailer or somethin?

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[old elk]

i just watched the new trailer, it looks.. pretty funky to be honest.
im not saying its bad or anything, im saying i prefer the first one and that this one is kind of off in comparison

[forest urchin]

I know we dont buy but we arent only one in the world right?

[fringe steppe]

This server has begun another fight,ill come back tomorrow

[random barn]

don't jinx it

[abstract fiber]

thats cause its less a trailer and probably an excerpt from the opening cinematic

[chrome flicker]

yeah real economic downturn that our oil is 66% the price of the all time high of a barrel of oil, and our gas prices are nearly topping that

[storm kindle]

Sad because inevitable

[violet jacinth]

:hellonewstalker:

[chrome flicker]

definitely not the industry price gouging, just bad economics and muh biden right

[abstract fiber]

seems like... introduction to the beginning of the game worldbuilding, not a trailer

[ashen axle]

Adirgs#8550 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[old elk]

why didnt gsc stay with Xray

[urban quail]

it's almost like printing millions of dollars in stimulus checks does that

[random barn]

anyway screw this war stuff, that trailer was really nice though

[abstract fiber]

we'll never know

[keen hollow]

It does hm?

[urban quail]

what a shocker i know

[random barn]

lol you try modding using X-ray and see why

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, but like, in the event that was a Death Truck, why would it be driving towards the CNPP?

[wind torrent]

Xray is the world's greatest engine

[chrome flicker]

its almost as if lowering taxes on the upperclass and introducing new ones to the blue collar workers does that huh

[old elk]

modding and making a stalker game are two diffrent things

[peak minnow]

Would be more buggy than fallout 76 on release lmao

[violet jacinth]

^

[random barn]

it's the most UKRAINIAN engine

[abstract fiber]

theyre throwing bodies into the reactor to try to revive it

[static compass]

You guys think Skif is the dude in the truck?

[glad temple]

Absolutely

[abstract fiber]

duhhh, it's obviously the opening cinematic

[chrome flicker]

yeah

[urban quail]

do you think i'm pro government or something

[static compass]

Someone gonna drag him to sid? Lol

[old elk]

on release, but people still loved SoC on release with all the crashy and buggy stuff

[pseudo rivet]

X-Ray is fine, the engine got a bad stability rep because of mods

[chrome flicker]

its either skif or the dude skif is chasing

[keen hollow]

Skif is a monolith agent like Strelok

[random barn]

still hate the inventory crashes in SoC though

[urban quail]

this ^

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds about right

[chrome flicker]

you know the Lеон Кеннеди dude

[keen hollow]

aah leon

[violet jacinth]

.

[random barn]

chernobyl leon?

[urban quail]

xray has only crashed on me in soc, never in cop, cs, anomaly or coc

[chrome flicker]

yeah the dude who looks like leon kennedy lol

[finite dragon]

really? I read in NYT that they made a more in oil than what they spend in war

[violet jacinth]

well.. a part of it

[random barn]

chernobyl leon
bottom text

[chrome flicker]

Ада wait!

[random barn]

ayyyyy mlyaaa

[old elk]

wait.. theres WOMEN in MY STALKER?
the trailer includes WOMEN?

[urban quail]

game ruined

[old elk]

[random barn]

well if you include hip?

[chrome flicker]

they can recoup war costs but not the costs of losing immense amounts of business in country, plus the many many many sanctions

[worthy lagoon]

it was a radio interview, don't worry

[abstract fiber]

yes the idea that russia is going to economically implode is as wishful thinking as the idea that putin is suddenly dying of every cancer known to man

still think they're going to lose 😎

[chrome flicker]

Russia was already suffering with lighter sanctions despite having western companies AND not having a hold on their payment services

[urban quail]

hip is the most annoying character known to man and you should eliminate her with a svu at the first moment

[peak minnow]

well hip is only in anomaly

[old elk]

i kill hip whenever i play anomaly, and i dont play anomaly usually, maybe like once or twice a month if even

[pseudo rivet]

Some interviewer, likely from the Big Land, as it is an interview with a scientist

[urban quail]

🤝

[wind torrent]

hip just has a sad backstory that's supposed to make you care about her

[fringe steppe]

Based af

[random barn]

lol it's just funny seeing STALKER fans freak out upon the sight of a woman

[keen hollow]

hip 🤢
