Guys

Why in SoC when i go to the Wishgranter the Monolith Voicelines become different

[raw orchid]

Takes Anabiotics

[normal escarp]

Its becomes a deep Loner voice

[coarse rapids]

SoC
and CS as close second

[bitter hearth]

hell yeah

just finished exams

[worldly cape]

why does the stalker console port (PS5) look way better then the PC version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDiZIW4hEac

devs.. whatever magic you did for PS5, please do it on PC version

[coarse rapids]

it is the same
just with diff brightness value

[worldly cape]

well can they apply the different brightness values without us tweaking anything

i guess is what im asking

[coarse rapids]

you can do it yourself,in the PC options

[worldly cape]

[urban coral]

Got a good feeling about it?

[urban coral]

Clear Sky my beloved

[narrow smelt]

The intro looks like it has more color/vibrancy

[coarse rapids]

the cutscenes have been upscaled but the renderer appears to have no changes

[narrow smelt]

Yea

Didn’t GSC say something about rolling out new graphical updates to the next gen consoles or something

[coarse rapids]

yes

[bitter hearth]

yeah, i think i did good, specialy in chemestry, physics, mechanics, math

[urban coral]

Nice, good to hear

[thorn cove]

ironically, only cake I love is Ülker's Cakes man. Since the company owner who is Crimean Tatar, escaped from Crimea when USSR is coming to them, he and his family escaped to Turkey. Bruh they do tasty sweets.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7kRosbeQQU

[coarse rapids]

like I said,its the same
they fixed the problem in SOC where grass shaddows wasnt rendering

[narrow smelt]

Georgia mentioned RAHHH 🦅

[coarse rapids]

it looks like its another time of day tho

the renderer in CS and SoC seems to be the same

but CoP seems to have changed

you can restore Grass Shadows in 1.0004-1.0006 versions of SoC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owVMlrJ_AMU

[worldly cape]

can you do this through options?

without having to adjust in console? this is not common for a noob to do

[coarse rapids]

no,it was bugged like I said

you can fix it

[worldly cape]

sure... anything can be fixed when thats your intention but for the average noob that wouldnt even know its broken its not the same

[worldly cape]

also for vanilla SoC widescreen shadow bug is still present and grass shadow are still disabled regardless enabling in options. You need a 3rd party mod to fix

[coarse rapids]

yes,these are fixes
no actual changes to the renderers were made

[worldly cape]

what was the console command? to enable grass shadows

[thorn cove]

ok who making those

I'm scared that someone gonna make Dalin one

Hi 🙂

[heady idol]

Hello

[coarse rapids]

they already said they will add new graphical options and new things in a future update aimed at next gen consoles

mayhaps,maybe,it is a possibility,we dont know

I dunno,if the changes are substantial it will completely bork almost any mod for SoC

just like the jump from 1.0004 and 1.0006 did

I mean,it aint the end of the world,we can backup 1.0006 and use repacks of that,but it is annoying

[full grail]

@coarse rapids Hey Vasim what do you think of the Stalker console release?

[candid cloud]

FlatOut Ultimate Carnage got the update.

[full grail]

If you ask me, it came so out of nowhere

I think it's still cool though, more people will know about Stalker

[coarse rapids]

Great remaster
Shit port

Depends on what you wanna call this new release

[full grail]

shit port? Raw input that's why?

[wintry veldt]

Was the woman really necessary? Now im turned off ffs.

[coarse rapids]

If you try to see it thru the lenses that it's a port,it ain't good,BC it does change a substantial amount,and for ports,you'd want itjto be 1:1
But if you see hit thru the lenses that it's a remaster,the changes are no longer unwanted,they're expected and appreciated

Basically that

[wintry veldt]

I dont really see why they felt the need to port the trilogy to the console, i mean i get that it can attract new players and such, but i think the main course is for people who have already played stalker on PC to replay it on console, oh and also achivements lol.

I know i sure as hell wouldnt replay stalker on console, im trashy enough on PC let alone a console

But hey if DAS VOLK are happy so am i

are you implying it's a dissapointment?

[candid cloud]

@urban coral , guess what.

[white river]

yo wassup

[white river]

quick load ?

[coarse rapids]

I'm saying that if you judge it on the lenses that it's not a remaster but a port,than every single change they made that not directly related to console interfacing (example weapon wheel) will be disappointing BC it further distances the port from the original
But seen thru the lenses of a remasters,such changes are normal,expected and asked for

[reef rover]

Should I play stalker with a magic mouse?

[urban coral]

Yeah, I know. All games got their prices reduced, in fact

[candid cloud]

Some of the games weren't even there.

And I mean Steam.

Saboteur wasn't there, C&C Renegade and others as well.

[urban coral]

Which?

Saboteur?

[candid cloud]

Was The Saboteur in steam?

[urban coral]

Uh

[candid cloud]

Or C&C Renegade?

[urban coral]

What's Saboteur?

Not sure about Renegade, tbh

[candid cloud]

EA game.
Something as gta, but maybe better in some places.
Turn the white and black colour of the nazi occupation to the brightful colours of France.

[bitter spruce]

huh?

they arent remasters

[coarse rapids]

if you see them as remasters,theyre good,if you see them as ports,theyre bad
its all about perpective

[bitter spruce]

its really not. it is what it is. its a port.

[urban coral]

Funky

[coarse rapids]

then,as I said,every single change they made to the base game that is not directly related to console comfort is a bad change

[bitter spruce]

what else did they change?

[coarse rapids]

they changed names,added burers to SoC,completely changed the CoP renderers,changed some other things,quite a lot of things actually

[bitter spruce]

whats wrong with these changes?

[coarse rapids]

like I said,if you look at these changes under the eyes taht this is a remaster,then its expected,but as a port,they are ill advised,as ports are,hopefully,supposed to be 1:1's of the original product and should be judged by how closely they replicate that experience,and thus anything that changes it is counted as a flaw

this is a remaster

even more pronounced by the fact that they will change more later on in the year

[bitter spruce]

ports are never 1:1

its a different platform, so they have to optimize and change things for it to work

[coarse rapids]

like I said,they should be judged by how close to the original they are disregarding changes made to support console QOL
for example
any changes to script content would count but the fact it has a weapon wheel wouldnt

[full grail]

Anyone thinks GSC should add controller support update to pc release?

I mean, Stalker got a console port 17 YEARS LATER so...

[urban linden]

Maybe there’s some problems I’ve had with the controller but it’s basically all leaning and not being able to use medicine quickly

That’s my only problem

Otherwise it’s great

This is definitely one of the better console ports I’ve played

[full grail]

You're serious? They HAD to get rid off leaning?

Lmao

[bitter spruce]

did they?

[urban linden]

You can lean while you aim but it’s kinda inconvenient if you have a scope and you’re CQB

[full grail]

Ah that's okay

[bitter spruce]

yeah thats how most console games do it

[full grail]

Kind of fitting into realistic side of things

Yeah fair enough

[urban linden]

Yeah im pretty close to finishing the game

I don’t know how I did this so quick

[full grail]

You play console?

[urban linden]

Yes

You've been here for a while

[urban linden]

My PC has a problem rn and I wanted to get the games on console anyways

I have SOC on pc

[full grail]

Ah so you did okay

[urban linden]

I’ve been a fan of stalker since I was young I was maybe 12 when I first played the game

[full grail]

It's worrying why I don't see SOC as anything special, and I get easily bored, especially when playing Half Life 1 and 2, but maybe that is past me

[simple sage]

messer148 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[full grail]

Back when I was like 5, having games with like gliding, flying, air combat sandbox and shit... I would cum if I would own it back then
Now I have it all... But I don't feel the satisfaction in it

[full grail]

Yes

I feel like nowadays I won't touch or play time to time games like Call Of Duty, especially the old ones because they will feel generic to me, played all three old MW and I like the story but the gunplay is meh and shooting people feels like paper than flesh

Sly Marbo

Think I've went through Emperor TTS 9 times

Still waiting on those last episodes

[neon vale]

i watched it recently and it is gold

[agile spire]

It's also my only known source of W40k lore

Not all that accurate, but I def prefer it

[neon vale]

i love that the series is an actual parody unlike real 40k

[agile spire]

Storytelling bits were true, at least I think

[neon vale]

40k was a parody that just got too deep

[agile spire]

Lore retconned multiple times over and swapped with new canon

[neon vale]

sly marbo is one of the best known remnants of the parody characters

[agile spire]

A private that's pretty much a one-man army

[neon vale]

fantasy is amazing

[agile spire]

Yet has two stars of Terra

How even is he still a private?

[neon vale]

40k will never reach the level of comedy that fantasy had by simple design

the skaven are both hilarious and terrifying at the same time

Wanted to get into the regular Total War games, but they're so dang expensive most of the year

I like RTS a good bit

As long as I can avoid the mechanics that suddenly end a game

[neon vale]

i recommend shogun 2

[agile spire]

[neon vale]

its one of the cheapest, and best ones

[agile spire]

Ah right. Red Alert is selling their collection for 10 bucks right now

[neon vale]

on sale its like $7.50

[agile spire]

I gave into temptation

Going to try those later

Huh. I seem to have Shogun 2, but it lacks the DLC

[neon vale]

the dlc is basically just extra factions

one thing i love total war more than other strategy games is that (other than the factions you get to choose from) the game is basically complete on purchase

shogun 2 dlc slaps though

[agile spire]

Surprisingly rare these days

[neon vale]

fall of the samurai is extremely different and good

[agile spire]

I'll try that before playing Command and Conquer then

Actually, after. I wanna wait on these DLC sales

It’s not a big deal I was just curious if it was some sort of glitch or if I just had to remember where I needed to go

[lyric mulch]

I would assume the quest giver would be in garbage

[reef wharf]

I figured it would be… bois?

Is that his name?

When I went to talk to him nothing popped up

[lyric mulch]

no idea sorry

Hi, guys.

[gentle gale]

Holy lord I didn't even know they were planning on releasing Stalker to console. What a way to start my morning

[urban linden]

Lmao and I’m already at Chernobyl nuclear power plant on console

I reached it this afternoon but I was tired of dying over and over so I gave up

Or well

[gentle gale]

Damn. I bought the full trilogy bundle. Which one is first? I'm trying to remember but all I remember is Prypiat having a scuffed opening in the swamp

[urban linden]

Shadow of Chernobyl

[gentle gale]

Ok cool. Feels like I'm experiencing Slav Jank history

[urban linden]

Have you played stalker before

[gentle gale]

Never. I've always been a console guy

[urban linden]

Damn

I played it when I was younger on pc

My new pc has a lot of problems rn so I just got the games on console

[gentle gale]

All I was able to do was watch like the Sseth and Civvie videos on them

[urban linden]

I’ll be honest I’ve never heard of them

[gentle gale]

Also today was payday so I don't feel too bad about splurging a bit

[urban linden]

I honestly don’t watch a lot of stalker YouTube videos

[gentle gale]

Sseth usually does a lot of off the wall and obscure games. Civvie does a lot of boomer shooter and retro game reviews. I think I saw Mandalore's video too if he had one

[urban linden]

Stalker has for a good while now been teetering on and off semi niche and semi popular

[candid cloud]

Hello, Liza.

[gentle gale]

Didn't they have a multiplayer version release at some point? Or am I just thinking of a game people said was like Stalker?

Kruglov do be based ngl

Thats undisputed fact

[sly wigeon]

I like how Clear Sky lives on in Anomaly

[fast geyser]

lebedev needs to ally with the mercs while the true alpha kruglov will haul an rpg and wipe out half of the merc faction

[fast geyser]

anomaly bad doe

[sly wigeon]

I mean they didn't send ALL their people to CNPP

[wintry veldt]

Either that or get dome checked by a braindead zombie lol

[neon vale]

i see it more like them being a still small faction, but the entire faction is focused on a single goal so everyone is in one spot

[sly wigeon]

Imo it isn't, even if it is, that's one of the things you should like

[neon vale]

like imagine if every duty member got together to raid the cnpp

[wintry veldt]

Yeah but freedom and duty are both also really focused on one thing, duty especially, i guess what keeps them in check is the fact they do their upmost to slaugher themselves

[fast geyser]

clear sky has no leaders after the end of the game

likely lost all their half decent gear too

[sly wigeon]

Cold, Suslov, that other scientist

[raw orchid]

I imagine most capable CS fighters and long standing members like these went to CNPP raid

[neon vale]

i beg to differ, if they were focused on one thing you would see far more members in spots

[fast geyser]

thats like saying sidorovich could replace wolf

[neon vale]

like rostok would be flooded with duty instead of just being guarded by them

[raw orchid]

We do know that there are survivors. Examples being Nimble and Novikov

So probably there could be more of ex Clear Skyers somewhere

[sly wigeon]

X-ray engine live reaction:
2000s CPUs live reaction:

[wintry veldt]

The dialoge and everything else paints a diffrent picture, duty is strict when it comes to order, the problem is "destroying the zone" is a broad term, so they are spread out.

Its not because they arent a cohesive group, its because their goals are a bit optimistic

[fast geyser]

youd think duty would be bigger assholes to most stalkers

they're still assholes that being said

[neon vale]

what you are told and what you are shown elicits two very different reactions
thats why saying "duty is huge" is not as powerful as seeing all of clear sky (a certainly smaller faction) as a faction in a small area

[wintry veldt]

m o n e y, and also dutys official view on loners is that they are residents of the zone and thus are the thing they are protceting from the monsters n such

[fast geyser]

duty are stupid so i can understand that viewpoint

[raw orchid]

Voronins Duty definitely tolerates loners to lesser extent tho

[neon vale]

time to unpack the sylky mod

its 40 fuсking gigs

[raw orchid]

Voronin can literally give you sidequest about killing stalkers even

[fast geyser]

wtf is the sylky mod

[wintry veldt]

Yeah but they are swamp dwellign nerdy nerds goign up against the monoltih directly lol, the monolithians certanly arent a pushover, clear skyes biggest clutch is having the MP on their side lol

Yeah depends on hwo duty rationalises the loners

[fast geyser]

where did clear sky even get their equipment anyway

[neon vale]

having the entirety of any faction bearing down would put stress on the monolith, no matter how powerful the cultists are

[wintry veldt]

🤫

[raw orchid]

Give me a minute

[wintry veldt]

Suslov says he has outside contacts

[fast geyser]

monolith has like 300 members alone

in shoc alone*

clear sky i doubt has more then 50 especially since they try to keep their presence on the down low

[bitter spruce]

WHO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

wait who was i supposed to reply to

[wintry veldt]

Yeah but these are swamp Ecos against hardened fanacits though, i can see clear sky managing to win them over on a single point, but an allout assault on the CNPP is streching it lol.

[bitter spruce]

WHO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[raw orchid]

Military being corrupt as always

Nothing new tbh

[fast geyser]

thats aks only
nothing that good

[bitter spruce]

WHO CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[fast geyser]

clear sky would probably lose to basically any other faction

[wintry veldt]

I also think suslov has a line about how he gets his stuff from the outside, or something like that im not sure i forgot how the dialoge goes exactly, i assume they get all the m o n e y from artifacts since they are scientists and all. @raw orchid

[fast geyser]

there arent really that many artis in the swamp

Suslov: "That's the sort of people we are! You can't buy an extra fifteen minutes of life or a spare store from death, but us traders are needed everywhere. Even in the Zone, even in the Swamps and even underground. It's an illusion that the Zone is under lock and key and the army has all the ways in and out sealed. Think about it, nowadays artifacts and rare specimens from the Zone can be found all over the world, and your fellow stalkers never have a shortage of canned meat, vodka, ammo or equipment - somebody's gotta be responsible for all that, right? Well, that's where we come in. In this place it ain't like selling bootleg CDs on the outside with the cops up your ass every damn day! Around here the situation is very simple: the outside world has an interest in the Zone and vice versa, but it's officially forbidden, prohibited and all that bullshit! That's what we're here for... we make sure those interests are satisfied, and everybody's happy. There's a joke among traders that if someone points a gun at you, your best bet is to try to buy it off them"

[fast geyser]

[raw orchid]

He also mentions that artifacts are all over the world

[wintry veldt]

Yeah collectors.

And also medicine

[raw orchid]

Cordon loners also mention how military is profiting from each transaction

[wintry veldt]

Although the loners seem to be getting the raw end of the deal more often

[raw orchid]

Want the dialogue koba?

[fast geyser]

still somehow better then equipped then military rofl

[wintry veldt]

Nah if someone decides to fact check it then sure but i remember reading it

[wintry veldt]

No? At least not in the cordon lol, the stalekr suit is virtually worse than your run of the mill military uniform, not to mention a good portion of them just wear leather jackets

The reason the military doesnt just send a special assault squad on the loners is because that would require them to report that to the goverment, and if they did that all their shady stuff would get exposed

[raw orchid]

I'm pretty sure that guy is just trolling tbh

[fast geyser]

depending on the stage of the game you're in their gear changes

normal military dudes just get aks and some outdated body armor

[raw orchid]

Pretty much, yeah

[fast geyser]

spetsnaz and military stalkers get better gear though

[wintry veldt]

Yeah but im talking about cordon, sid makes sure to appease the military there, he says it himself that he is like grease in an engine, keeping both sides happy

[raw orchid]

You do realize that loners can get tons of money from artifacts, right?

[raw orchid]

And who buys artifacts and sells stuff? Traders

Traders are literally everywhere

[fast geyser]

the rookie village itself wouldnt be able to take out the military yeah

[raw orchid]

Even in swamps like Suslov said

[wintry veldt]

You can fact check this by shooting at the patrol near the cordon military base lol xD

[fast geyser]

the last thing kuznetsov sees is a random stalker sprinting over to him wearing a merc suit and holding a pm

now shhhhhh i know thats shoc and shhhhhhh not the actual checkpoint.........

[wintry veldt]

What meant to serve as a detterent ended up being the reason for them dying lol, A U T O M A T I C R I F L E S

[raw orchid]

Normal army guys weren't expecting to be in the Zone in the first place

[fast geyser]

is there anybody who doesnt shoot kuznetsov

i dont think there is

[wintry veldt]

Yeah most of them say that they expected to be regular infattry, instead they got stationed at the zone, kolobok mentions this

[raw orchid]

(How did I end up here? Same as always, I was assigned here. I thought they'd send me to a unit close to my town, but they sent me to the Zone. Here you can forget about writing letters or going on vacation. Well, during the day it's your typical service: orders, marching, saluting... but come nighttime you better start praying, 'cause it gets real scary. Say they send you out to guard the perimeter at night, and you keep hearing howling... closer and closer. Sometimes you even see the beast. I've gone gray from that shit... and the older soldiers are complete dicks - they wake you up at night and tell you to go get them vodka. I don't care if they kill me, but I ain't taking a step outside the base at night after that one time... Vitka, a guy that was drafted here along with me, did what they asked and they found him in the morning, all blue with eyes the size of APC wheels... he got so scared his heart reptured and he died on the spot...) - dialogue with Semyon Lambee, Khaletsky's driver.

[wintry veldt]

Its the finnacaly sound decision lol

[simple sage]

funnyhahaperson has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[raw orchid]

Not just Kolobok but Khaletskys driver Lambee as sell

[fast geyser]

lame

i cant swear at a fictional character

[fast geyser]

screw lambee i always shoot that guy

[wintry veldt]

I helped him, poor enough fella, even though he tries to kill you the second you hand him a pistol lol

[fast geyser]

i always imagined he was lying

[raw orchid]

I do feel bad for him but I also dislike him shooting me as soon as he gets a pistol tbh

In any case, his dialogues do provide interesting insight

[fast geyser]

he's not a reliable narrator tbf

[raw orchid]

Such as older soldiers being dicks

[raw orchid]

How come?

[wintry veldt]

I love how even though im fully kitted, assault armor, rifle and ammo for a small battalion and all, he thinks he stands a chance with a rusty pistol i litteraly handed to him

[fast geyser]

he's likely making a sob story to save his own skin

[raw orchid]

Why would he lie to a mercenary who could kill him in any second?

[raw orchid]

I don't think so tbh, but I do understand your point

[wintry veldt]

The vodka industrial complex must be well oiled with the blood of privates.

[wintry veldt]

Why doesnt he return to the miltary then? He says him self that he cant because he would have to admit to abandoning khaletsky

[raw orchid]

Agroprom Deserter AND even Duty Barman Kolobok also have a strong hatred towards military

[wintry veldt]

Duty relations with the army are wierd, a random NPC dialoge talks about how they shot at eachother, but yet stalkers in black suits were spotted talking to spetznas

[fast geyser]

if he had a gun he could probably shoot himself nonlethally

[raw orchid]

Lambee might not be a reliable narrator like you said @fast geyser

[fast geyser]

spetsnaz are support units

[raw orchid]

But all 3? Doubt it

[wintry veldt]

He doesnt have one lol

[fast geyser]

and what does he try to get from the player......

[wintry veldt]

Im not sure what shooting himself would accomplish tho

[fast geyser]

the military arent going to call a man who was injured (presumably fighting) a deserter

[raw orchid]

Ye. Agroprom Deserter had some plan at least

[wintry veldt]

Doesnt matter, he would still have to run away for it to make sense, Khaletsky is not your run of the mill soldier, he is the big man behind the cordon garrison, and also owes a lot of people a lot of money, i doubt that "owie i got shot" is enough to pardon him

[fast geyser]

maybe so he could shoot scar, steal his drip, and go smuggle himself out

[wintry veldt]

Best bet would be to get rid of his military stuff and just assimilate into the loners

[wintry veldt]

We all saw how that one played out, aint no one touching scars drip

[raw orchid]

"And thirdly, you nearly got torn into shreds by a pack of pseudodogs. But our boys got you out just in time"

They ruined Scars trenchcoat

[fast geyser]

this is why scar became charon fr fr

[raw orchid]

Schizo theory ngl

With very little evidence to back it up

[fast geyser]

its a dumb theory yeah scar is most likely dead

[raw orchid]

What even is that theory based on? Scar is Charon because? Both have Vintar?

[wintry veldt]

Made it vintage* you mean

Its a bit of a stretch that even if charon was scar why would the monoltih give him the vintar? Why not some other gun like the gauss?

[raw orchid]

@neon vale we saw that 👁️

[fast geyser]

gameplay reasons

[neon vale]

this one is better

[wintry veldt]

It is a funny coincidance that he is litteraly the only monolith to have the vintar, but also its most likely that the simularity wasnt intentional

[fast geyser]

its an interesting theory but it probably isnt true

though i do think most of clear sky's survivors ended up joining monolith post CS

clear sky's survivors that attended the raid*

charon is lebedev confirmed chat its official

[raw orchid]

The theory about Scar being Charon is rather weak to begin with, since the only thing that connects them is the weapon of choice - and while it's true that Charon is the only character using it in SoC, it's not like the devs planned it in advance. In CS it's used by many loners, and in CoP it can even be wielded by some random Monolithians

[wintry veldt]

I gtg eat my well timed dinner at 2:30 AM here, so later on fellas good lore talk imma probably gonna go honk shoo after

[fast geyser]

not to mention clear sky was developed after soc

[raw orchid]

Cya

Btw guys

[reef wharf]

Also got the Xbox version of the Aurora edition

[thorn cove]

Since this game is finally getting a large audience, I hope we don't want any young woman joining here to do simping any Stalker character.

Because they're gonna start drama too, over fictional characters

Because I know... Those communities are always toxic and being "over protective"

[reef wharf]

Wat?

[fast geyser]

send them all to gamma where they belong

[void kelp]

wth is the aurora version, what is the difference

[reef wharf]

It has a steelbook, a steelbook sleeve, and it comes with the season pass, and it also has a neat little mutant diagram that I now have 3 of

It came in the standard exodus I bought, and the PS4 version that came with the Spartan edition I bought

I have the whole series on Xbox tho

I plan to get the complete edition too which just has the Caspian Sea cover art

This is purely for collection/displays sake lol

[fast geyser]

the knife instakills most enemies on headshots doe

[void kelp]

ok so what is the season pass exactly for in M;E

[fast geyser]

who tf doesnt click rmb

there are zero people on this planet who use light attacks

alright buddy your opinion perms are revoked

faster to stab a guy in the head

[void kelp]

its funny how the heavy attack is like the slowest attack animation ever

[fast geyser]

yes because you’re reeling the knife back… that takes longer… dumb dumb

[void kelp]

reeling?

like a fishing rod?

[fast geyser]

his fate could have turned out in many ways - perhaps, if the brainwashing process failed, he became simply zombified; if it was successful, he could've died while being transported in the death truck; if this didn't happen, he had a clearly defined task to perform, and could die while trying to do it; if he survived, he might still be wandering around the Zone as an amnesiac.

It's also possible that he simply died during the emission, or was captured but somehow managed to overcome the brainwashing process and escaped from whatever laboratory it was taking place in.

His fate is unknown. At least for now

[fast geyser]

scar is sidorovich duh……….

[raw orchid]

But either way Scar = Charon theory is a stretch nonethless

[fast geyser]

if anything its more likely scar wouldve joined the c con

[raw orchid]

Once again, his fate could have turned out in many ways

[void kelp]

it is the most plausible theory tho i think

i mean that's what most people try to go with

but i just llike to think that he's actually dead

[raw orchid]

Not really, no

The theory about Scar being Charon is rather weak to begin with, since the only thing that connects them is the weapon of choice - and while it's true that Charon is the only character using it in SoC (at least in gameplay. In the opening cutscene Savior also had Vintar), it's not like the devs planned it in advance. In CS it's used by many loners, and in CoP it can even be wielded by some random Monolithians

Other than both Scar and Charon having the same weapon, there simply isn't more evidence to back up that theory and make it more plausable

[full grail]

He's dead :)

[raw orchid]

Which one? Scar or Charon?

Long text aside, Scars fate could have turned out in many ways

As for Charon he's located at Pripyat's Palace of Culture. Place that can easily be missed by many players

So I wouldn't say for sure that Charon got killed by Strelok

[full grail]

I feel Both

[candid cloud]

You know we have some people simping over stalker characters?

[reef wharf]

I like how the scroll bar for clear sky isn’t even properly centered lol. Is this just an oversight with the console port or is it like that for PC too?

[agile spire]

If you think that's bad, you should see your regular mouse curser

[candid cloud]

No, for PC it's normal. Send a bug report in #1215013259740979320 .

I mean, you can see all the letters in a PC version.

[reef wharf]

Weird

How do they even screw something that simple up

Also the shooting feels quite a bit better in clear sky than in shadow

It’s a notable improvement

[candid cloud]

It's not even them.

They weren't the one who were making a port to consoles.

[reef wharf]

i know

I know it’s not GSC.

I’m just saying how does one screw up a ui element like that

I don’t know anything about game development but I feel like that’s probably one of the first things you should make sure you know how to get right

Considering it’s like the first thing the players going to see

[raw orchid]

Letters are definitely more visible on PC

[full grail]

how is the port so far?

[reef wharf]

No clue, I only played it for like five minutes just to see if anything was different mechanically

I’m going to finish shadow before I actually play it

[agile spire]

Call of Pripyat released about 15 years ago, and they still convinced the community to buy the trilogy again for 40 bucks

[quick pier]

That's how good it is

[full grail]

no, any port

[reef wharf]

Shadow of Chernobyl has been pretty flawless so far. Only thing I have noticed is that for some reason playing the game with headphones on causes some glitchy audio

I switched to another game just to make sure it wasn’t my headphones and it worked perfectly fine on the other game

I’ve had zero technical issues whatsoever aside from that

[normal escarp]

Yes.

[normal escarp]

[normal escarp]

Yeah but you finished the fentanyl what now?

[crystal lagoon]

Make more kids and sell them for more fentanyl

[glass bobcat]

I liked it

Literally gta 5 is one of the most popular games

So I don't think that it's "mid ass game"

[sand hornet]

League of legends is one of the most popular games

[sand hornet]

It was objectively a worse GTA game

[nimble lance]

You mean X?

[nimble lance]

So if 10 morons said shit tastes good, and one doesn't, shit must then taste good? Same exact principle
