who here excited for the next S2 update?is it gonna be good?
>>572317901It's hard to have any excitement left for STALKER 2, it's been almost two years now and most people have probably just moved back to playing the original games.
>>572321940desu I'm pretty excited about the engine update.it may be a shit show upon release, but I'm hoping for a performance improvement
So, at what point in the game will the DLC be accessible?
>>572324086I have no idea man. yeah I know, real helpful
>>572328074They really should say this shit. Considering how they handled sealed truth with it being available only during like a tiny window between two consecutive quests, I'm sure most people are reluctant to play due to not knowing if they're locking themselves out but also trying not to be so far ahead that they need hours to reach the DLC once it comes out.I hate it when games add DLC that slot so weirdly inside long-ass games.
>>572324086>>572328762They haven't even given a definitive release date.>Summer 2026What does that mean? July? August? September is still technically Summer too.It's going to be July in a day or so. I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed until next year.
>>572329225>I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed until next year.Honestly man, considering how long they've gone without even mentioning multiplayer in spite of it still being mentioned on the store page, I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.
>>572287156>Better days ahead.>The thread fucking dies
>>572332890why did you let it die anon?
>>572336098too busy kissing sidorovich's ass
goodnight /sg/
oh so the last thread died. just like the one before it. grim. what exactly killed /sg/, who or what can be blamed?>>572344439good night anon sleep well
>>572344586I blame a lot of it on the influx of retards since S2, along with the typical IP type of rot
Gnight sg
Anyone tried playing on Linux? I got rid of my last Windows install last year but I was thinking of installing something like Anomaly again
>>572353975don't know if this guide can be universally applied to every stalker game or mod, but here is one from IWPs shitcordhttps://github.com/KingPcon0/Get-STALKER-IWP-Working-on-Linux
>>572344586festering gachanigger swarms and hiroshimoot's(read: kikes) hatred for the site as he refuses to contain themanomeme and gayma hype slowing downS2, and S2 being absolute hotdog watertrannies driving away rest of the posters by shitting up whatever little we hadI'd be angrier but S2 and OLR3 severely impacted my interest in stalker in general
>>572362148I stopped playing OLR 3.0 (patch) when the psy prototype in dead city ddin't spwan, and didn't feel like playing 12 hours again to get there.2.5 is the peak of buildo for ever and ever.It's funny that Hi flyer missed the mark so hard after making the kino that was 2.5, but i guess developers don't always strike gold twice.
>>572366713OLR 2.5 having like fixx 54367 should have been a warning for us
Ma lord
>>572366713why didnt you just find the section, put it in a spawner and spawn it?
>>572393806I was so livid that i didn't think of that before uninstalling.
>>572329225The very last day of summer essentially.
>>572403730me rn
Big Ideas man hereStalker but with the green army menI'll take the cash up front please...
zoomer slang asidebuildo really do hit different
I still can't decide whether I should use the 9x39 Groza or the 5.45 Groza for Duty run in Gunslinger.
>>572435570Or maybe I should just use the Vintorez instead?
>>572435570I can't get over how ugly and unwieldy this gun looks, especially without the grenade launcher from vanilla. Just use a VAL or an AK like a normal person.
>>572353975The OP guide worked for me until it just didn't, and it was outdated for a while. Tried all kinds of shit admittedly I'm tech illiterate.Maybe it works but is it worth the hassle if it stops after some update or whatever the fuck?I do appreciate the anon who made the OP guide, it's the only one that just werked.But it's probably easier to dual boot.
>>572353975just dal boot BROOOOOOO
Jackie!
>>572446487Haven't seen that one beforesaved
>>572317901I'm quietly optimistic. I've been thoroughly enjoying S2 lately, after uninstalling it a week after launch and not touching it again until a few weeks ago. I see people still bitching about it and I think:>"no that isn't right! it actually has great AI and there's plenty of stuff to loot and the weapon attachment system is fantastic!" and then I remember I have like 60 mods installed.
>>572455576lmaothe classic stalker experience.
night /sg/
>>572324086From what people have said the DLC will start after sircca gets fucked up, and can be done at any point after that, and before the point of no return at the very end of the game.
>>572317901Stalker 2 left me so uninterested it made me question if, after almost 2 decades of being a fan, I even liked Stalker in the first place.It was THIS bad.
How do I make it harder? I was thinking...>no crosshair or scopes of any kind, only iron sights>limit the number of guns I can carry to 2 (and a pistol) with limit ammo>no grenade launcherWhat else?
>>572332890Good riddance. Fucking shitskins fucking up the OP.
>>572317901>Always enjoyed S2 and saw it for what it was [the best Vanilla Stalker experience by far]>Checked back in after a good year+ of engoodening and was blown away by the changes like the jogging mechanic>Didn't play the two recent content patches with the Burnt Forest and other quests>Would honestly like to get back into it now but should wait for the update/DLCExtremely excited
PLAY zoner.
>>572477229It just needs mods. I went back and played vanilla SoC a wee while ago and remembered (controversial opinion) it fucking sucked too. A huge part of what stalker was in my mind was built around this mess of experiences built over nearly 20 years and hundreds of mods. I get the impression GSC seems to attract least understand that Stalker is bigger than them, and all they're really doing is providing a sandbox for the next generation. Pros;>huge, seamless open world>honestly some of the best sound design in a gamecons;>performance Huge problem that instantly locks out 70% of potential players. However it is improving.>Lack of content Another glaring problem. There needs to be STUFF. Hell, pointless stuff that clutters your inventory if you accidentally pick it up. Things to sell to traders. Rare chances to pick up a wallet full of cash, or valuable little trinkets that are easy to miss. More little interactions with NPCs, maybe some unforseen consequences, idk. At least 20 more guns, even shit ones. Variety is great and maybe I like seeing how far I can get with a 20ga toz.This really is where the modders will shine though.
>>572492462No thanks I prefer rushdown characters
>>572478172Does anyone have anything to add?
I do not associate with memeslinger
>zigger melties and pigger zealots ruined /sg/Sad
>>572478172>>572499367Half the capacity of magazines.No single shot mode, only automatic.
>>572499367Invert mouse. Horizontally.
>>572478172no hand grenades either>>572523807and verticallyIf you have over 100k if surplus $ you must buy shit or spend it on anything. doesnt matter if its useful to you or not
>>572524269>over 100k if surplus $Any surplus money over 100k gives all your enemies upgraded armor and weapons.
>>572525556these are supposed to be things that can be done.realistically you cant do that in the game without a good chunk of modding
>>572529612Not my problem
>>572525556If you have too much money friendly stalkers will randomly turn on you to try and rob you
>>572496580At least they added taking parts off mutants to sell but that took a long ass time for something that should've been in the game from day one (it was a feature in the other ones for fucksake). The maps just feel really big and empty, with only a few points of interest and just the same anomalies over and over. Some strange unique shit just peppered throughout the zone that serves no purpose beyond looking cool would at least add some flare to the large empty areas.
>>572535358Nice
>>572317901I'm excited. just finished the 2nd playthrough and got all the steam achievements
>>572317901Not even slightly since it's still at least 2 months ago (happy 2 year anniversary to all of us retards who bought this boring mess).
>>572538201>Some strange unique shit just peppered throughout the zone that serves no purpose beyond looking cool would at least add some flare to the large empty areaThat shit's all over the fucking world you faggot. All sorts of little unique things.
>>572544473The standard anomalies found literally everywhere? That's not very exciting. I'm talking about having more unique shit like that tornado or the floating ball that gives you the succ.
>>572545818There's some quirky shit scattered about, but yeah certainly needs more. The biggest problem for me is the lack of shit to loot. Stalker basically invented looter shooter, where's my fucking loot?
>>572546373Yeah it's just too lacking in all those ways, there's just too many vast empty fields of nothing. No looting, no unique anomalies, just boring space. It just doesn't feel like there's much reason to visit a lot of parts of the map since there's nothing unique or worth going the distance to find.
>>572545818But that "serves a purpose" If you look around through there's shittons of unique little things>Containers getting warped like they're made of liquid metal exposed to a magent>Floating trees>Distorted root structures that twist into balls>Insane swarms of bees that fly around city streetsThey're all over if you look around. Tons of soulful little spots. And they've been adding more along with the patches. If you go back and read old patch notes on the official website with the FULL list? Sometimes a patch would have like 20+ "improved environment art at LOCATION". And going back to replay I'm noticing everything and everywhere has been gently beautified.
>>572548728>>572546373>>572545818>>572544473Like there's even unique anomaly fields that aren't labeled on the maps that produce artifacts. This is PEAK "did you even play the game"?
>>572477229I see it like an ex GF you randomly run into after you haven't seen her in years, she's changed a lot and what made her attractive to you is gone but at least you have the memories. S2 is complete ass but at least we still have the OG trilogy and lots of great mods to come back to. That said the franchise itself is dead to me beyond that. I don't care about whatever slop GSC puts out from this point forward.
>>572344586sg was more active than usual a few years back thanks to S2 development and pre release hype. Sadly S2 largely caters to the plebbit crowd and the modding scene never took off the same way it did with SoC so yeah the hype has pretty much died out with nothing to replace it.
>>572321940are they updating the enhanced originals as well?
>>572496580Vanilla SoC had some questionable design decisions (like a lot of things relating to the guns in particular) but honestly it holds up well imo. You can tell the graphics are almost 20 years old but despite that it has a unique aesthetic, color pallette, ambience, etc. that really helps you look past that kind of thing. If you're a veteran stalker you should know how to cheese the gunplay and should be able to land headshots with ease and know where to pick up the best gear. For me what makes the OG trilogy special is no matter how many times I've played through each of them I can start up a new playthrough and find myself having fun like it didn't matter (even on vanilla) and there's not many games I can say that about.>I get the impression GSC seems to attract least understand that Stalker is bigger than them, and all they're really doing is providing a sandbox for the next generationProblem with this theory is they wouldn't have released mod tools sized at 700GB if so. One of the biggest reasons stalker modding took off back in the SoC era was that modding the game was actually pretty simple. A lot of the OG trilogy is just basic config files, xml, lua etc. Stuff like level design and model imports etc is definitely a bigger pita but the once you had basic scripting knowledge you could do a lot with the game (just look at how much AMK changed it). Only a handful of people are going to be arsed to download 700gb just on modtools (plus the game is 250 iirc so thats nearly 1tb just for S2 stuff) that involve working with the pita that is UE5. Like I highly doubt the S2 modscene will ever reach a fraction of what the OG trilogy one is.
>>572313839>Bumped off the Catalog by retardsnot enough folks bumping this generalno matter. sending you a postcard from the Duga
>>572557127Whoa the fuck would bump us? The thread is still 90% zigger bots trying to contain the narrative about S2 and ignoring anybody who disagrees.
>>572552324I'm still waiting for them to fix one of the biggest problems for mod compatibilty
>>572561781Doubtful, it seems like they've kind of stopped caring and just want to focus on STALKER 2. The remasters are dogshit anyway and most people just keep playing the originals.
>>572561972idk why but the cop EE editions kept using a bunch of my cpu, more than normal. I wonder why. can't be because of DX12 only
