they just released the first three games on the fucking switch of all places
>>693291975STOLKOR hort of chornobolfeaturing woll smoth
>>693292137Haha what I wish
Score/user review predictions?
>>693291975>all the characters are quipping lolsorandumb faggots who don't take anything seriousI hate millenial writing so much, bring back the boomers
>>693292423t.
nazi sympathizer game, probably gonna be a few "easter eggs" about how invading and starting a war against the soviet union was a good thing.
>>69329261482
>>6932926148/10 journo3/10 userI feel like it's just gonna be some kind of a far cry type game and not have any of the grit of the old games.
>>693292793It's being made by the boomers. It's just made for console zoomers.
Ukronazis really trying to wipe out Russian language and culture as usual.Pirate if you absolutely must play the game.
>>693293161>It's being made by the boomersWrong, most of the team is 20-30.All the oldfags are over at 4A and other studios.
>>693293516Isn't the creative director still the same though?
>>693291975Please be good. Please dont have woke shit. Please dont have niggers where they dont belong. I want new stalker game
>>693293516wish 4a didnt fall for the crafting system open world meme
>>693293614>Please dont have woke shit.Too late, they have the whole "le russia bad west good" thing going for them.
>>693293070>>693293353cringe and gay
>>693291975Is this same Scar from CS? Didnt he die between CS and SoC?
Why these guys can be chilling in their offices and make a game while the others Ukrainians are being used as cannon fodder?
>>693293767>le russia bad west goodWell I mean le russia hasn't been good lately though, although yeah the inclusion is probably forced but they're under Microsoft so probably have to follow some guidelines or whatever the fuck.
>>693293946anti russian propaganda sector of zelensky elite operations squad
>>693291975>3 weeksMore like 3 years
>>693293946Because it's the poor motherfuckers who have to die in wars lol. Every other man who had an option to fuck off did exactly that.
>>693293654Metro exodus was neither of those things.
Can you stop sending weapons to a literal nazi state for one moment.I think it would be nice for things to go back to normal thanks.
>>693293946because only 1% of the country has actually been moobilized. can't take a break from worshipping mammon even when it's war you have to keep the libtard world order going and keep wagecucking.
Is Stalker a horror game?
>>693293887Ukrainians are retards and will just do Marvel/Hollywood levels asspulls to bring back characters back to life. Wonder who they learned that from.
>>693294318SoC yes. CS and CoP are pure action fps
>>693294318Sometimes.
>>693294506go play your woke pathfinder games, Russian troon.
>>693293767Why the fuck would a Ukranian game not pull a Russia bad theme when the country is at war with Russia rn?
>>693294318It's a mix of shooting and horror
>da tavarishes, i also really hate this ukropean company and their product called stalker. do not support nazi games and their nazi ideology. i loved stalker but won't anymore xaxaxaxa
>>693294318it takes place in eastern europe so yeah
>Russia>Russia >Russia>Russia >Russia>Russia >Russia>Russia>Russia >Russia>Russia so whats the difference from the previous games
>>693292485кeк
Dear god I hate slavniggers. Why cant you just kill each other already
>>693295153We're saving this world from globohomo, retard.
>>693292423*Footorong
>>693295232By killing each other and being replaced by immigrants from the Ex-Soviet states? Based.
ignore the seething russians itti beat stalker SoC yesterday, what the fuck was up with the massive difficulty spike in the last 2 levels, are the other two stalker games like that?
>>693295316No one is killing anyone. It's all a play.
>>693291975I really want this to be good, but I'll wait til it's been out for a few months to see how it actually reviews. I'd be very surprised if it didn't have as many issues as all the others did on release. If they do actually include current world politics in it, then no.
>>693295421No the following ones got a bit more casual
>>693294792Because pushing real world politics in a game is exactly how to get anyone other than redditards to hate it
>>693293946probably because they ran away to europe
>>693291975I pray to god they kept the ALife thing, without that this is just Farcy with a different setting, its where so many open world games fail where STALKER didnt. You NEED NPCs to roam and do their own thing independent of the player even being near them.
>>693295458by bet is that its gonna be like metro exodus but with a much smaller budget and many bugsall journalist reviews probably gonna be 10/10
>>693295421CS is way harder and does the same thing where the final levels are corridor shooters.
>>693295619ALife was never implemented outside of some niche mods like OLR, I doubt the current tream will pull it off either.
>>693295421>are the other two stalker games like that?They're both easier, but Clear Sky has everything feeling like you're aiming a starter gun in SoC even at endgame while Call of Pripyat quickly gets you some decent guns. Clear Sky's main issue is just enemy spam and your completely terrible accuracy. They also loved throwing grenades.
>>693293946Half the devs were sacrificed to Moloch already
>>693295421>the fuck was up with the massive difficulty spike in the last 2 levelschances are you were underequippedClear Sky's beginning is definitely the hardest the series has ever been. protip: carry fuckton of bandages and vodka, don't even think of stepping a toe in the water, and upgrade your MakarovCall of Pripyat is disgustingly easy
>>693295684Yeah that's kind of what I am expecting as well.
>>693295232>shoots neighbor>"Dude I just le hecking saved us from globohomo"Okay Dmitri.
>>693291975Why is there no trailer of gameplay or at least some sort of gameplay showcase? Is it over?
>kazakhstan invaded burma now you need to say "forplsneedel" instead of "spoon"nah, I'll keep saying spoon
If a zigger wants to post in this thead he must first type the following: I RENOUNCE FAGGOT PUTIN THE CRIMINAL RETARD or you are forbidden from posting.
NAFObots will make it impossible to discuss this game anyway
>>693296285That neighbor signed a pact with Hitler. What was I supposed to do? Sit and watch how he helps niggers rape nordic women?
>Attempting to make the world say Chornobyl with their fake ass language BSPretty obvious that this was a russophobic campaign part of trying to make the Russian language disappear.
>>693295723It was definately in all the base games anon, mods applify and work with it, if it isnt even there to begin with there is nothing to amplify, its just a static world.
>>693292485>t.
>>693296619I don't think you have ever played the unmodded vanilla games, ALife didn't exist in any of them.
>>693294238Did we play the same game?
I'm expecting a literal last hour delay
>>693296882I don't know, did we?It has HUB areas and resource conversion instead of the trader mechanic from the first two, which makes sense since you are outside the metro. That's not open world or crafting, or is Deus Ex open world now? It also has HUBs.
>>693291975not buying it
>>693296827Why are they obsessed with pigs and mud?
>>693297581>The only Russian in STOLKOR Heart of Chornobyl
I fear there will be too much mocapped cutscenes that will ruin the sense of immersion. I don't want to lose control while I watch. I want to be in control as shit unfolds in real time
>>693296619>characters sit in one spot until they fucking rot, maybe walk around Bravo
>>693296442Pretty much, this thread is already bad enough.
Reminder that nu-GSC was meant to release it in 2021, but the very next year every nu-GSC fanboy refused to listen that GSC hasn't changed one bit, STALKER 2's development is repeating that of SoC's, which is something all STALKER fans fucking hated, and Griga is still just a two-faced greedy cuntbag.
>>693297986but all high budget western videogames are movies these days, what else would they draw inspiration from
>>693298373Idi igrat v OLR dedushka, togo samogo NE BUDET
>>693298678>togo samogo NE BUDET
>>693296864Yes it does, there are npcs that wander and do their own shit in all the games. You can stand on a hill and watch patrols as they just wander the map getting into shit, they dont just stand around waiting for the player to make things happen or spawn in for scripted events outside of the story stuff.
Why do liberals love worthless stinky Ukrainians so much?
>>693293353Russians seem to be pretty good at doing that themselves tho
>>693299819Is this a monke?
>>693291975For the most part they seem to have nailed the atmosphere of the originals pretty well, I still have some criticisms from what was shown in the trailers though, like the generic UI and soulless voice-acting, I am also not the biggest fan of the "cinematic" approach they took to tell the story.>>693298373>STALKER 2's development is repeating that of SoCSo HoC is going to be absolute kino then? Good to know.
Do we finally get to back into the power plant in this one?
>>693299750"Libruls" as you would call them are demographically and statistically more intelligent than conservatives. You are a servant, we are men.It's really quite that simple. To be against Russia is simply the erudite's position.Leave the thinking to us. You're not cut out for it.
>>693299750>Why are people supporting the side I don't like?
>>693299882Siberian ape encounters unknown technology
>>693299042That's not what Alife is about, what you are talking about are just background NPCs.The idea behind Alife was NPCs actually doing missions on their own and competing with the player, hunting for artifacts ect.Apart from that one scripted mission in CoP NPCs can't even navigate anomaly firlds, much less actually hunt artifacts.Outside of mods none of the 3 games do this.
so do you play as zelensky in this game or what?
>>693297149your craftable ammo and consumables bro? your OPEN hub worlds bro?
>>693294792no don't ask logical questions like that, you're going to get called all sorts of names! Just go with the flow>vatnigger = good>ukrainian = bad
>>693300292You play as Putin.
I can't wait to get drunk on vodka and shoot mutantsfuck the naysayers, I have hope Stalker 2 will be good
>>693300307That's not crafting, you convert 2 resource types in whatever ammo or filters you need.It's basically trading with one extra currency, you aren't crafting pipe guns or armors from 10 different parts or some other time wasting garbage.>OPEN hub worlds broNot open WORLD you stupid fuck.By that standard Unreal, Deus Ex and Half Life are open world too.
I will install it on an HDD and run it fine
>>693291975gonna pirate first, it looks like a modern FPS with a stalker theme instead of a modern stalker game
>>693291975Reminder this is made by a scam artist and not the original team that now makes Metro games.Sergiy Grygorovych to this day didnt pay original Stalker devs what he owes them, rather run away out of the country.Only retards think this will be good and not an asset flip.
>>693301372>hohols scamming hoholsNothing new under the moon.
>>693300292you play as the ghost of queef
>millennial writingAaand... dropped.
>>693291975why are the devs not in the trenches? wtf Democracy bros, who will defend us now?
>>693300032>You are a servant, we are men.If you're a liberal, you can't call yourself a 'man'
>>693299890No, it's gonna be:>chaotic dev cycle, as in dicking around adding superfluous bullshit instead of a proper focus on making a game>no tard wrangling from the likes of Dean Sharpe this time either>shitton of promises, undelivered, content cuts left and right>unplayable buggy mess being released and left unpatched, but this time with no way for modders to fix it>people who never followed everything GSC said from day one during the development not seeing any issues with the final product and calling it kino
>>693301372>Sergiy Grygorovych to this day didnt pay original Stalker devs what he owes them, rather run away out of the country.Sergiy is the creator though. You might argue he is a greedy cunt and you will be correct about that, but he created Stalker as we know it. It was his vision
>>693295232Yeah by turning it into gulagohomo lol
>>693297749Because ukrainians love pig fat. So much so that they eat the damn thing with chocolate. Nobody else does that, therefore they are associated with pigs.
>>693303207hahahah you're the next
>>693292975>
>>693303408I love pig fat too, so what? Only a shitskin muzzie or a kike would hate on pig.
>>693300862>you convert 2 resource types in whatever ammo or filters you needSo.. Crafting? What is crafting if not converting 2 or more different resources into a third one?They replaced trading with crafting, it's not "basically trading", it's crafting.Also the hubs in exodus were way more open than deus ex or especially half life which railroad you into a specific path. Exodus is open world in the same sense that stalker is open world, you have one specified path you're supposed to be taking to advance the main story but you can explore and fuck around if you feel like it, exodus did have maps that completely railroad you, but it had the open segments as well.
Do the kind of retards who wander into STALKER threads on the VIDEOGAME board suffer a literal brain aneurysm if they do not immediately bring up real life politics?Boy, you guys would be convulsing on the floor but bad if you were old enough to have lived through WW2 and then seeing the WW2 game craze in modern days.
>>693303845Do you eat it with chocolate?
>>693303203fuck you mean creator?hes the ip owner and thats it, even back in stalker era he was infamous for spending all company money on expensive sports cars while telling the employees to work on broken chairs in a single roomand fuck you mean his vision? he wasnt the game lead, he was busy snorting coke and fucking hookers while the studio made the game, in reward he fired everybody and dissolved the company so he could pocket all profits himself
>>693293093I'm mostly just worried that it's gonna look and run like shit because of Unreal Engine, most of the footage I've seen so far looks extremely blurry.>>693303408Russians eat caлo too, you know.
>>693303845muslim nations and cultures are the only based nations on earth.
>2 kikes made the homogenous group of people wanna kill each other>it's really effective
>>693304165Not with chocolate
>>693304420That's where you draw the line?
>>693304069https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-covered_baconYes?
.
>>693292137>it's trueWhat the hell? Never in a million years would I have expected this.
>>693304404it was the 24/7 shilling that gave it away for me.
>>693304752>imagine playing Clear Sky unmodded
>>693305116>imagine playing Clear Sky
>>693303998>So.. Crafting?No.When you say crafting the implication is wasting your time tremendously with stupid pointless bloat and grind with different tiers and progression.In Exodus It's very basic resource managment akin to converting the different bullet types at trades in the first game.Obviously they can't just place random traders in Exodus who all accept the universal metro currency so they solved it like that.>Exodus is open world in the same sense that stalker is open worldExcept it's not because the game doesn't allow you to ever revisit older areas or forces you to backtrack.It's linear and hub based, stricktly NOT open world in the slightest.
>>693303618>nazi.jpg
>>693294792Because they wrote the story and made most of the game before the war broke out you DUMB SMOOTHBRAINED NIGGER.
>>693305319i will never understand why people freak out so much about CS. i've played it vanilla and with mods. it was a good game, only that helicopter boss was out of place.
>>693305724On release it was a mess, stability issues, the AI faction wars feature would regularly bug out, preventing you from progressing the story and a bunch of other shit I've forgottenIn comparison CoP was paradise
will i be able to play it with a gtx 1050ti?
>>693295573>Because pushing real world politics in a game is exactly how to get anyone other than redditards to hate itis that why CoD, GTA and RDR2 are the highest selling games? lol
>>693291975>Scar trailerNot watching this. Scar as in the MC of Clear Sky or no?
>>693291975Stalker is just a shitty fanfiction of Roadside Picnic.
>>693306867multiplayer doesnt count

>>693305724>nerfed guns>great swamps>the machinegun in Cordon>the game was a technical mess on releaseit would have been so much better if those retards actually playtested the game instead of shitting it out broken and fixing it afterwards

Z
>>693292614Journo score 10/10 because UkraineUser score who knows but normies eat shit anyway so probably 8 or 9 regardless of if it's good or not.The bigger question is if the first screen when loading the game is gonna be "Slava Ukraini" or some retarded shit like that. I bet it will be.
>>693291975wait, Scar ? from clear sky ? isn't this dude supposed to be dead ?
>>6932926149/10 for journalists who will praise the graphics, spooky chernobyl setting, story and war "veterans" whilst complaining about how hard combat is5/10 from players because it'll run like shit, be too hard for normies whilst also being nothing like old stalker gamers for old stalker players
>>693291975I wonder if it's really going to release on time. I really liked the originals
>>693308154leave it to slavs to always do half-measures
>>693291975They misspelled Chernobyl.
>>693312693yes and no, see Call of Pripyat: technically it's a masterpiece by comparison as it hardly if ever crashes (even if it has some annoying as shit bugs you won't notice unless you played it a bunch, just to cite the most glaring ones being the iron sights in some weapons being slightly misaligned, you can't reach two or three stashes no matter what you do, and the tunnel to Pripyat is bugged - the party has a lot less health if full, while it was supposed to be the other way around, and no, somwthing like ZRP for CoP does not exist and you will have to individually download fixes for those bugs), on the other hand the game is way too easy, and I'm not only on about how the game showers you with gear, I'm also on about the DOG SHIT maps that feel like a fucking theme park
>can't talk about stalker on 4chan anymore without gay IRL politics shitflingingdamn every time I think that things can't become more gay and retarded, they find a way to become even more gay and retarded
>>693295232Russia has the highest rate of HIV in the world outside of the African continent.
>>693300032We don’t get high effort bait like this anymore. Respect
>>693313338Says who?
>>693314220WHO
>>693293946I know at least one of the devs has died in the war
>>693314279https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q
>>693305724Oh yeah it's all fine as long you ignore the fact Limansk exists. Sucked more ass than the NPP in SoC
>>693292541Go curl up in bed tendie
>>693303175Retarded slav detected. GSC said in an interview they are releasing a dedicated modding kit for the game>BUT WHAT IF THEY'RE LYINGwhy are you even here then if everything that comes out of their mouth is a lie?
>>693304165Yeah it's gonna look like fucking shit because it's made in unreal engine and it's also gonna have shit performance. Every single unreal engine game that I've played devours ram.
>>693293946they're working in prague right now
>>693291975This game will suck and disappoint OG fans but will get lauded as a labor of love due to the Ukraine war.
>>693291975I WANT the game to be good, but I don't have much faith in it. Will the dev cycle being how it is I am worried it will be a watered down version of Stalker.
>>693293614Pяaise Uиicoяи Bяigade! Pяaise нeяoic LGB—oh wait, they got rid of the troon spokesman a while ago.I guess they're not pandering to the alphabet crowd anymore now?
>>693318756You don't know until you've played it, but it's probably going to pander and have some propaganda about john zelensky or whatever

I seriously hope after 17 years you learned how to deal with the bipedal and non-bipedal inhabitants of the Zone and embraced love for explosives
>>693297749this land was raided by muslims all the time in the past as you can guess they would take everything but pigs because pigs are dirty animalslocals are not that dumb so they went all in with pigs
Would u play a stalker game that takes place in a diff. country? I read a kinda goofy stalker fan novel that took place in the middle east. It had these semi brainwashed american marines turned into cultists who are kinda sus supporting characters, chinese spies, a hub area with all sorts of stalkers teaming up to kill the chinese guys at one point. There was a bandit faction too iirc. And the main character was a military npc from call of pripyat who is present at the laundromat. There was also a ton of mindfucky insane shit at the end of the book with everything going to hell.
>>693324975No. Stalker is Soviet-core and it wouldn't be stalker if it took place anywhere else other than Chernobyl and its surroundings.I'd rather have a new game/new setting than constant sequels/remakes.
>>693325529Fair enough, was curious how ppl felt about it.
>>693324975I would play the shit out of a Roadside Picnic stalker game - iirc the Zone in RP is in Vermont or stalker: Fukushima
>>693320147...
>>693291975>console game>old dev team is entirely gone>microsoft>pre-release shit looks like garbageIt's going to be shit, and were you only to accept this truth, you will not be disappointed in the future.
>>693300534>fuck the naysayers, I have hope Stalker 2 will be goodThat's the difference between you and meI have hope, but I have no faith
>America is still under a Cold War within, with Communists spread throughout the country>China is exporting drugs that have killed over a hundred thousand Americans>Mexico continues to allow immigrants and Cartels to fuck up the South border>But you must actually go fight Putin and apply pressure to Russia's Southern border, ignore the Biden family's deals with UkraineI'll never understand this shit. I guess being a Duty player just makes too smart for this shit.
>>693327026>console gamethanks for beta testing pc cucks, the trilogy runs flawlessly on ps5will you also call this a console game (it's usually present in most "best pc games ever" lists ever made)?
