>>576502818damn I don't remember /vg/ being that fucking fast. One to two years ago it was possible for /sg/ to survive far longer until someone posted sth.On another note, I don't like IWPs new gun smoke particles that were added in the new update
5th thread in a row died prematurely. I've been a /sg/ regular for almost 7 years now and it's never been this bad. It's fucking over, dead general, ruined franchise.
>>576503815>dead generaleh, it's ain't deader than before S2 imo. But I might be wrong. Gachanigs are just faster
Yikes
>*clack clack clack* POST!
>>576486352you're a retarded faggot and should kill yourself."The closest thing I could find was TheParaziT's anomaly-modding-book — the most ambitious attempt at a comprehensive reference the community has produced, and worth reading."if you werent so braindead you would see more than you do, but oh well, better be a retarded faggot on the chans, right?
>>576506561
>>576504941At least the original trilogy is saved from being clogged by these individuals. In my mind S2 doesnt exist.
>>576511071This is actually a good allegory for the state of society.
>>576502969>1785098869126141m.jpgCould you scale that smaller? I can still surmise some of those words
>>576504696It kinda is, never before have threads died so often, it was a rare occurrence. It all went downhill some time after S2 was released. Before that there was hype, waiting for news and discussing trailers, some regular shitflinging, it was stable and comfy. There were far more posters here, I remember that we were doing a demographic census at some point and there were several dozen people in total who self-reported, mostly burgers and slavs, so there was always someone here to bump the thread. And now it is what it is.
>>576493346>that last post Ominous...
>>576502969>>576512040
>>576512797No, gacha threads are just moving much faster due to all the current news and new announcements within the gacha communities.
>>576504941>freedom popularis anyone surprised? Duty victory just means the end of the franchise.
>page 8 after 12 minutesYeah as if anyone needed more proof that /vg/ is moving at lightning speed now thanks to more gacha shit.
>>576516324The thing is this is based on answering a couple of questions, not just a binary choice.https://duty-or-freedom.stalker2.com/
>>576512797/sg/ never had more than a handful of posts per hour and used to be just fine having severap hour breaks between posts during the dead timezones. It's entirely disingenous to argue the thread is deader than before because the posters are gone while it's undeniably being actively killed by gacha.
>>576517657Like any questionnaire quiz for a video game faction or similar, the question answers are painfully obvious if you know the franchise.
>>576517995Some of them feel like they don't fit either faction though.
>>576518253Eh, I see what you mean, but it's still pretty easy to sense what's what for either. If you seriously wish to get Duty and end up with Freedom your understanding of the faction is abyssmal, same goes for the opposite. It's all water under the bridge.
>>576517787People just want to stew in negativity, despite this being the factual truth.
>>576521612this. 1000%most of the reason I dont bother arguing with people, the truth could slap them in the face and they would deny it or just pretend for x,y,z reasonswaste of my fucking time and effort, everyones really
Just had the displeasure of trying to do the Zoneraker task in GAMMA. What a bugged piece of shit. Marker was on the target I had to save, but somehow there was another npc I wasn't allowed to kill despite not being part of the quest.
>>576511378That's something I've often said to my group of academically minded colleagues.
There must be a lot of sore assholes in the Zone given the lack of toilet paper and water
>>576531106I use a Kolobok as a manpon just to fucking feel alive
>>576531420>kolobokOmg that’s so cute!!!!
>>576531420>the forbidden kidney stone
Recently started playing Stalker Anomaly. Is it supposed to feel kinda empty? Love the random quest system, the gunplay is also very good, but the Living Legend questline (which is the only unique one I've seen so far) is barely more than a series of do this do thats. Is it worth playing the original games for better story content or is this as good as it gets? I'm in Zaton at the moment, working to get more hints on Strelok.
>>576521612That's everything surrounding Stalker 2 and why you can't(and nobody wants to) talk about it here. People are dead set on comparing it to 20 years of hopium of what it could have been like if that were actually possible it wouldn't have happened in 2012, or just hate it because it's tangled with modern politics. Its flawed FOR SURE but there's a lot of things i actually like about Stalker 2 that people just take for granted.>>576535113Anomaly is not something you should touch before playing the original games because it's a freeplay mod where the entire point is revisiting the locations and doing the fun things without any story constraints. You will spoil yourself from a lot of the games' best moments by seeing them out of context.
>>576535113Definitely play the trilogy before touching any mod like that. Vanilla first always.
>>576535432I figured as much, after the whole brainscorcher plot turned out to be just one flick of a lever and a 20 minute dungeon crawl. The gameplay of the originals looks very dated to me and I'm a sucker for Anomaly's weighty gunplay, but maybe I'll give it a try.
scientific breakthrough imminent
>>576540065Nice, egghead
>>576537091Damn you played it that much? Why didn’t you come here sooner.
>>576540065What did they discover?
Thanks for the bread... but I'm so... full...
>>576547848Pearlok
>>576547848Streblob
>>576541453The gameplay is extremely addictive. Most AAA games can't rival the feeling my Spas-12 creates when it goes woom woom. Feels like canon shots. Played it for four days straight, did barely anything else. I'm now in Pripyat, found Strelok and entering Lab X8. Would you guys recommend I start with SoC for the originals? I heard Clear Skies is supposed to be garbage. I mostly care about the story quality, since I already have SA for killer gameplay.
>>576537091There's mods that make the gunplay better in the originals, though the thing is that they were designed around much more bullet sponging and magdumping so the amount of enemies you face feels drastically different. Sometimes it's just broken without extensive changes>>576549630look at this>>576502969 there's a few mods that are "vanilla plus" that can get the gunplay in the older games closer to anomaly, but as always your mileage may vary
OP OGSR english translation never ever ever never fucking ever
>>576556108NIGGA I WANT TO PLAY IT SO BAD

>>576571364RIP in peace anondream of artefacts and vodka
https://youtu.be/zfjnv0BGnLIhttps://youtu.be/up5RmMwHZgIi fucking love old game models with modern animations
>>576581776but y tho
>>576582393>>576582393cause it feels like restoring a toy from your childhood to look as shinny and fun as it felt back then without making it something else
>>576582495pretty good explanation
>>576567586Sounds like me!
>>576537091>Anomaly's weighty gunplaythe WHAT. Nigga play IWP if you want some sralker action with proper modernized gunplay.Vanilla gunplay is also overhated. Making the guns too accurate and powerful, what far too many mods do, makes the games more dull and removes the progression aspect, imo.CS is the buggiest entry, but I'd still give it a try. It has the most combat in it, if you do the faction war stuff. I finished it vanilla just fine, but you might want to get SRP, if you really want to include a bugfix mod
Not sure if samefag, retarted, or counter-baiting.>>576503452>I don't like IWPs new gun smoke particles that were added in the new updateWhat don't you like about them? I can't really tell the difference.Speaking of smoke, I need to figure out how to use particles for the smoking animation.
>>576590091>thrown away after two dragsGay as fuck. Smoking a whole cigarette should be a toggle.
>>576591007The animation exists but I have no idea how to go about making it a toggle. Just getting the cigs ported and functional was a pain in my dick. What the fuck are motion marks?
https://youtu.be/rgp6o6dBmNEI don’t like how the CNPP area has been cordoned off by international forces. It makes the Zone feel rigid as fuck. Where’s the free movement. It unironically makes the expansion area feel very artificial because it basically illustrates «this is the expansion zone, so it’s locked away from the main game area».
>wait a minute...>i can enjoy stalkan as i like it without having to listen both to the annoying post s2 community and faggot tourists crying that stalker is dead now!
>>576596214zased
>>576596951Not a single NPC has blue eyes in Stalker 2. All NPCs have brown eyes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgp6o6dBmNEAny idea if the upcoming DLC is free to DL or do we have to buy it?
OK this is really neat, and potentially dangerous if you're stuck in a gunfight.
>>576598073As a historian I really loathe this type of blatant historical revisionism.
>>576581776agreed, the old models have an unique charm to them, playing through SoC with modern gun models just feels wrong
>>576595141>>576598073Wait, is it really just CNPP and Iron Forest? No Limansk?At least they added proper shadows to the flashlight.
>>576598617Doubling down on no Soviet iconography I see. Absurd.
>>576598767Limansk isn’t by the CNPP, but its featured in the dlc.
Who the fuck is this asshole?
>>576598927Cadavers or whatever they’re called. Another type of test subject mutant, super soldier attempt.
>>576599021Ah, reanimated corpses controlled by technology. Isn't that just dandy. Probably takes a fuckton of bullets just to kill one.
>>576600007Not sure if they’re corpses. They make grunting sounds so they can’t have been in an advanced state of composition. They’re probably just called cadavers because they’re meatshields with no value
[SESH]
>>576600436Or they're just armored up zombies, but these guys can go for a jog for some reason, or some asshole is remote controlling them. Damn. Now I wish you could be a drone tech in the zone. Scouting places, using drones to do kamikaze attacks, drop grenades/bombs on unsuspecting bandits, etc.
is stalker 2 still a steaming pile of cashgrabbing dogshit? i played at launch and the ai was pathetic. have they remedied that at all? worth a pirate yet?for reference im an autistic purist whose ideal vision of stalker is vanilla soc with ZRP bug fixes
>>576601162It's much better now but wait for the 20th, a massive update is coming alongside the first DLC.
>>576601252i see, i will do that then. i'm reading that they've attempted to fix the things i bitched about. thanks for the information
>>576601252>>576601387I heard they're also adding Mavka's firecrotch...
>>576602201i'm assuming that's the female on the promotional image of the upcoming contenti'm not super thrilled about the inclusion of women but i guess it is not that important as long as its not over the top immersion breaking. i don't want to be getting Uncharted by this woman though. i'm mostly concerned about the fact that nothing existed in the game outside of the bubble around my character
>>576598617NOOOO!!!!
>>576602201>redhead>green eyesWhy is this such a fantastic combo
>>576600540Dushman looks quite happy with that new merch drop
>>576598617meh. active war isn't the time. i'm sure the devs thought that anyone who actually recognizes the stained glass would know its soviet origin, but would also recognize that the developers are actively at war with those people and deliberately choose not to represent them based on principle
>>576601162so ur retarded. K
>>576607086Ukraine is fighting against Russia, not the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991. That they dilute their own historical past in favor of historical revisionism and censorship due to circumstances beyond national control is misguided at best. To be nationalistic is fine, but this is defacement of a territory with actual historical value and undeniable roots. To represent Chernobyl as anything other than a Soviet initiative is dangerous. Not only does it alter the past to fit a current contemporary attitude and narrative, it robs the past both of its narrative power and as a tool serving a cautionary tale of culturalist repression and statist dominance. Chernobyl was Soviet built, there is no way around it, it was ordered built by the Soviet Ministry of Energy and Electrification, it was supposed to be the apex of Soviet engineering and culture, a fantastic Atomgrad built to attract the Soviet Union's brightest minds, and thus the Soviet council chose a two-part langauge solution that honored both Ukrainian and Soviet cultural importance. To represent Chernobyl purely as a Ukrainian product is misattribution of history and lessens the lessons around statist dogma and repression. It is to deny a historical place its rightful historical past.
I liked that Stalker 2 didn't take inspiration from Analmemery featuring 100 types of soaked underwear, and kept things pretty vanillaBut let's be honest, with a scope that massive they needed to feature more items.There should have been a point of balance between item bloat and finding the same bread and sausage every single stash
>>576613440niggas in this thread gonna tell you that having the same 10 items in every stash is perfectly fine>>576612985trvke
>>576612985>It is to deny a historical place its rightful historical past.Couldn't have said it better myself
>>576612985sounds like something someone who spends his whole day on the internet would say
>>576595141I see they havent fixed the lumen.
>>576625335whats to fix :^)
>>576626413>red starsCan't have that. Too Sovietic.
>>576626413Good morning my friend. Upon closer inspection to your image I see a monument with the words "Glory to Soviet Science". We clearly cannot have this slogan. It is anti-ukrainian and is not a proper display of values for our modern audience.We are not Soviet, thankfully. We are Ukrainian.The left side of the image has presumably a GAZ and two ZIL trucks.This is bad. These are S*viet era vehicles.According to the current rhetoric, this is against guidelines.In fact, the only relatively realistic design here is the monument, as it evokes Crimea's Yevpatoria center's dome design. However, this is still Soviet Ukraine style, so it must be removed.The gun and the gear are okay, but I would like a closer look, as they are probably older reserve weapon from the U**R.To be transparent: we are in 2026. War has come to Ukraine. It is a desolate political situation. As you may understand, we remove these symbols because they are remnants of a country that oppressed and terrorized our own.But we will preserve historical accuracy in other ways.Update 2.0 is coming on the 20th of August. See you in a couple weeks, stalkers!
Is the Kadaver the only new mutant in the dlc? Are we seriously only getting one new mutant?
>>576627861
>>576627861its the official stalker 2™© release wallpapers and concept artwork :)sounds like an internal problem
>>576625335Yes, the trailer still uses software lumen, you can see it from extremely blurry and ghostly puddle reflections.My cope is that they are making these trailers on the version without the engine upgrade to not spoil the announcement of "enhanced visuals" in the new version.
>>576627861protip: Ukraine was once Russia.
>>576628457Produced in 2021, bratan. When GSC actually had the interest to accurately represent a place frozen in time.
>>576628592protip: Ukraine was once Soviet* Common misconception, even today.
>>576628235They don't call it "Scamker 2" for nothing lol
>>576628235I wouldn’t expect more than 1 new mutant to be added. Everything about this game is super low effort.
>>576590091>What don't you like about them?they look(ed) kinda primitive or cheap, when I fired up the patch for the first time. I don't know how to rephrase it, but they just looked like a png floating around, but it's not as bad as looking at it earlier. The only thing now that would be nice to get changed is that the particles don't sway with your weapon when you sway to the side. I might need meds
>>576628668>br*tanIt's бpaтiн.
>>576630203It's a small DLC which is free for people who bought the ultimate edition. Why would you expect any massive additions?It probably will be1 new mutant1 new regular anomaly1 new arch anomaly1 new artifact1 new weapon of each type:1 new pistol1 new shotgun1 new automatic riffleThat sounds about right. If it costs more than $10 I am installing CreamAPI to unlock the DLC on steam for free.
>>576631171Arent all the dlc free for those who bought the ultimate edition? Means all dlc will be phoned in.
>>576628592>>576628851This is called tyranny.
>>576631251GSC should fess up to that instead of trying to make up a rosy past.
>>576631171Why can't you support gsc
>>576632126But I already bough the base game.And CNPP should have been part of the base game.
>>576630740Well shit. Now I won't be able to unsee that. Some sharp eyes you have.
>>576628851>Common misconception, even today.No.
>>576632689I'm unironically sorry anon :(
>>576590091>>576630740>>576632689just make an addon to use old particles :)
>>576613440I think my main problem is that they tried to make it so the zone was clearly 10 years ahead in time from SoC but they didn't add things that would naturally flow from that, if the pemise is that >the zone is now known by the whole world>stalkers are now regulated and the old ideological factions gave way to new ones compromised by other interests>the zone is mostly "colonized" with a big lab complex and big walls sectioning off areas and a non-Ukrainian army taking care of the perimeterSo we should be seeing a steady flow of stuff like better food, better weapons and armor and equipment, maybe actual vehicles to traverse through some less dangerous roads, and communication arrays, and stalkers that are doing more things than milling around looking for decades-old loot. For example there would be a bigger business surrounding documenting the zone for curious outsiders, and bandits growing very large thanks to how easy it is to disappear stolen and illicit things in there. As far as items themselves go, there should have been at LEAST all the pistols from the original games, one beretta, one sig, one walther, the deagle, the fort-12 OR 15, the hi-power, because the variety with them is pretty dire right now. As for other stuff, a couple more medical items like tourniquets and random painkillers and antibiotics (insert fent joke here),and just cheap shit food you can expect people to carry everywhere, like ramen chicken noodles and instant coffee.
>>576632289CNPP is a Soviet symbol
>>576633438I have zero clues about working with particles. Muzzle flashes can at least be avoided with suppressors.
>>576633445True. Not to mention how Zone grown shit would sell for decent cash outside the perimeter.Just look at Kowloon Walled City supplying many Hong Kong restaurants in the city with hand made noodles and so on because they produced shit for cheap compared to other businesses. >>576633691CNPP should be demolished alongside the whole Zone. It should be Ukrainian nationalist la-la-land instead.
>>576633438>just make an addon to use old particles :)yeah that's what I also thought about doing, but it does not bother me THAT much at this point. Maybe when it gets the IX-Ray release in ten billion years
>>576633896>True. Not to mention how Zone grown shit would sell for decent cash outside the perimeter.>Just look at Kowloon Walled City supplying many Hong Kong restaurants in the city with hand made noodles and so on because they produced shit for cheap compared to other businesses.I can see some insane stalkers trying to grow the most fucked up GMO food in the dark valley farm because the anomalous dirt makes it grow fast and year-round, or some freedomers growing hyper mega weed that makes you cum and shit and die instantly
>>576634428Fun fact, northern Pripyat actually had an experimental greenhouse project that was ongoing both before and after the CNPP meltdown in 1986. So northern Pripyat is the perfect horticultural breeding ground for stalker experimentation.
>>576635048>new location: Greenhouse>carnivorous mutant plants>plants that release spores that poison you>killer vines that strangle you >flower and seed-themed artifacts
The "muh soviet symbolinos" fags never had to live with, and try to unfuck the disastrous consequences of the soviet union / russians for over 35 years already, and God knows how many more. So how fucking dare you complain about a UKRAINIAN studio making a game for UKRAINIANS first and foremost, not want to annoy the audience by throwing endless soviet shit in their faces. It sounds completely preposterous to me that there are those who would want that shit in the first place. Also:https://koda.gov.ua/normdoc/pro-perejmenuvannya-obyektiv-toponimiyi-v-naselenyh-punktah-m-chornobyl-ta-m-prypyat/Don't like it? Don't play it, you are not forced to.t. Ukrainian
>>576635794the chernobyl disaster zone is symbolic of everything wrong with the soviet union, the corruption, the lies, the abuse and disregard for human life, and the incompetence. Chernobyl isn't a monument to Ukraine, it's a monument to Ukraine freeing itself FROM the soviets, removing the symbols is stupid because it's like removing nazi symbols from Auschwitz, you're not supposed to find it a cool place to be proud of, it's a place of great shame and sorrow.
>>576635794You can't run away from your past. Trying to censor it won't change it. Let alone a place that is supposed to be frozen in time. The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore and Chernobyl is the perfect reminder to how wrong it can go.
>>576635794It's history.
>>576635794Okay, so?>it is preposterous to me for those who would want the environment of their game to be historically authenticAlright, let's play a world war 2 game. You are going through Berlin in 1943.What's better? A bunch of evil scary swastikas everywhere? Or a bunch of red banners with white circles because we can't show that evil bad symbol anymore despite it being a perfect reminder?Fuck you. Nigger.
>>576635794>making a game only for the people who had to suffer under thatStalker isn't a hugbox, reddit faggot.
>>576636120You don't need constant hammer, sickles and red stars in your face to know why ChEZ exists.
>>576636995Yeah, you only need the ones that were already there to contextualize it
>>576636995Changing Soviet symbols to Ukrainian symbols sends the entirely wrong message.
>>576635794Yes, let's try not to annoy the audience by making the game accurate.
>>576636129>>576636546It's a sci-fi shooter set in an alternate reality, not a photogramic scan of what might be there in the real zone.
>>576635794>>576636995You don't need to sanitize everything either. Why not just make the entire game a blank white landscape, huh? Fucking cunt.That way it doesn't offend anyone.>>576637167Nope, sorry! Too much! Any symbol is bad! You must be a zigger if you want your game to be immersive and realistic.
>>576636565This is actually even worse, it's like if they had a Polish concentration camp level in a WW2 game and when you break in every swastika is replaced with Polish iconography, as though the Polish were the ones running the camp. Flat-out retardation.
>>576636995>>576635794I'm waiting for the patch to replace all of them with the proper Ukrainian symbols so that I know which country to properly hate. Let me know when that is out.
>>576636565See >>576637427
>>576637427>>576635794Okay Mykola, if that's the case why did they painstakingly create the layout of the Zone from the original trilogy to be accurate to the real zone? Why make the buildings in the exact way pripyat was? Why move locations? Since we're in an alternate reality, Why not just remove the CNPP, Pripyat, and everything since they are all made in the Soviet era? We don't want any reminders of the past 35 years we grew up in, right?
>>576637427>not a photogramic scan of what might be there in the real zone.This is always such a disingenous argument when recreating the real life Zone has always been a marketing slogan for GSC. They likewise advertised photogrammetry for Stalker 2 in attempting to realistically recreate the exclusion zone.
>>576637842You're wrong. It is an alternate reality.
>>576637703>>576635794See >>576637842You don't even know anything about your beloved game you're defending, stupid cunt.All you know is defending it is good, because stalker is Ukrainian.That's all you need to know, too.Don't worry, in a couple weeks Mr. Krippa will donate a few more vehicles to Ukrainian army. Everyhting will be okay.
>>5766379492006 iand thereon s the alternative reality. 1986 still happened. Try playing the game sometime.
>>576635341>carnivorous mutant plantsYou’ll never get that. All you’ll get is ugly mutated pigs and short fat people with psychic powers because it’s “grounded and realistic”.
>>576638217>grounded and realisticI'm sorry, is this before or after revisionism?
>>576636884You shouldn't have had an expectation for it to contain soviet symbolism in the first place, cunt. It's not early 2000s anymore, we had 20+ extra years and war to think about and process the ramifications of the ussr.
>>576638209>1986 still happenedWhere? Please show me. I see nothing that remains. Anything that appears are just generic icons.What does this even mean? What happened in 1986?
>>576637286See >>576637427
>>576638505>shouldn't expect Soviet Ukraine to have Soviet symbols to distinguish it from modern day Ukraine Would you like Chornobyl to be covered in Ukrainian symbols so that we can attribute those mistakes and incompetence to Ukraine? Or the USSR? Try again, Mykola.And so what if it was the 2000s? The 2000s gave you no excuse. You split in 1991. That's more than ten years to not include these symbols even then.You need 35 years to change a design?
>>576638543>1986 still happened>Where? Please show meIs this really the game you want to play.
>>576638710>>576635794So you'd give up accuracy in your game for the sake of comfort?
>>576638386Are you fucking stupid? What the fuck do you mean by that?
>>576637167Contextualize how? They teach about the 1986 disaster in schools, don't they? What other context is needed? >>576637270I disagree
>>576638918>Welcome to Chernobyl.Why did they spell it this way and not Chornobyl?I don't understand why they would do this
>>576639015Letting them all be Ukrainian means that the disaster can be attributed to Ukraine itself, not the Communist Soviets. Which one do you want to blame?>>576638953I enjoy stalker being realistic. Unfortunately it is in an alternate reality so that can't happen.
>>576637447What's so sacred about the symbols of a dead empire that occupied my country for 70 years?
>>576639274Chernobyl is a real place with real historicity. Wanting to scrub a place of its history is wrong.
>>576635794disingenuous spam slide tactic
>>576639274Go back to your discord, Mol1t.You have no place here if you refuse to acknowledge history.
>>5766378051. Not Mykola2. Creative choice by the devs back then. Need I remind you, that the games were initially supposed to be set in alternate reality Crimea?

>>576640523Explain it then Mykola
>>576637427You have to be incredibly dense not to realize the entire story of STALKER is an allegory to the fall of the soviet union and the post-soviet world.The group = secret society of technocrats aspiring to remove "greed" and "hate" from mankind to create an utopia by means of unethical scienceC-Con = worldwide mind control and reality altering conspiracy using technology they can't understand or controlThe zone = nature refusing to bend to the designs of men and instead creating terrible horror and suffering in response, Pandora's box being openedStalkers = men who live with the consequences of the zones' creation only concerned with their own survival, the individualistic answer to the ultimate form of collectivismDuty = the militant and brutish red-and-black answer of trying to overcome through sheer strength and disciplineFreedom = the naive and idealistic answer to the zone of trying to convince it to be good and living with it instead, clad in German colorsBandits and Mercenaries = the cynical and pessimistic answer of selfishly profiting from the zone without caring for the consequences because it can't be helpedMonolith = the true believers of the false idol of the C-con, they are soothed and comforted by lies that don't mean anything coming to them from an unknown place
>>576640362Why was it so important for them to capture the real life zone then?
>>576639257Stalker is realistic? You mean the game with fat goblins with telekinesis? Yeah, that’s super realistic.

Ukraine v2000 and Ukraine v2026 are two completely unrecognizable countries.
Are we seriously only getting 1 new mutant in the dlc?
>>576637427no.if it was it wouldn't have ukraine and soviet shit in it, would it.retard.MODS, ban this nigga
>>576641125Hunk, stop being racist. He's Ukrainian
>>576640638It's also heavily indebted to Soviet psychotronics and Cosmism. It's a critique of it of course, but Cosmist idealism is part of the course for the C-Con. Utopianist intent gone to hell.
>>576638939I'd you mean - would I as a Ukrainian like a game set in an alternate reality version of my country to feature soviet symbols? - No
>>576641467The only alternative reality is after 2006. Everything before then is common history, Ukraine under Soviet.
>>576641221wish he would stop being so disingenuousall of them really
>>576641467>I would prefer that my country, not the Soviets, be responsible for the single biggest nuclear fuckup in human history that was caused near-entirely by negligence and retardationWhat kind of humiliation fetish is this, really?
>>576639257That's a stretch, what you are describing here. Stalker is about fucking around in a wierd place, not about giving a history lesson.
>>576641862Stalker is filled to the brim with occult Soviet science. Historical tourism plays a part in it. The devs wouldn't go to great lengths to scan and do photogrammetry of the Zone otherwise.
>>576639403See >>576637427>>576639796See >>576641862>>5766406181. Again, not Mykola2. I explained my reasoning in the other posts, what else do you expect? As a member of the core audience for the game, I generally agree with the line that the GSC had taken here.
>>576640638At best, Stalker was an allegory on the real life Ukrainian politics of the day, not the fall of the ussr
>>576642581Trying to repeat the same thing ad infitium isn't going to change the fact that historical revisionism is wrong and that trying to make the Zone as close as possible to the real life Zone has always been a goal of GSC.
>>576640663See >>576639617
>itt americans larping as slavs baiting each other
>>576642918And they changed it to Chernobyl. And?
>>576641350That's something else i really love about the whole setting, When you read how the pseudo sicence gibberish behind the zone is described it's all this vaguely esoteric new age speak that has a layer of disconnect from the objective perception of it which says there's always a denial of what it is and what it means. If the Noosphere is the informational field of the earth and everything that is in mankinds' thoughts and feelings is in it, and it leaks onto the physical world and all we see is literal horrors, mutation, anomalies, contamination, restless spirits and hellish sights of loss and decay, what does it say? what does it actually say about humanity? The ending sums it up really well, Strelok doesn't get to know whether what he did was the right thing, he doesn't get a nice and tight resolution or full answers, he is presented with a choice and he has to fllow through with it blindly because there's no turning back.It's why for all it's flaws i do like some of the implications of the Stalker 2 plot because it says the noosphere might not actually be real and the shinning zone is a straight up alternate dimension overlaid with ours, and it wants to consume it instead of coexist, and the "bad" ending with the group taking over the world might be the lesser evil, I like to compare some of the Stalker 2 endings with the Deus Ex endings in that they're all Faustian bargains.>>576642771Duty wearing Bandera's black and red colors and the Monolith being literally in the belly of the CNPP sarcophgus isn't subtle at all man.
>>576643270Yeah it's part of why I really love it too. There's nothing else quite like it in that regard once you start digging.
>>576641591Nope. Need I remind you, that in that reality, the government build giant underground complexes and labs all over the exclusion zone? It was a rather busy place.
>>576641704Where did I imply that, retard? What you are implying is an unrealistic scenario
>>576643645Ukraine wasn't under Soviet?
>>576644052It's not unrealistic at all. By shifting all symbolism to that of Ukrainian glorification and effectively removing the Soviet past the contextual history of the place is changed, making Ukraine take the blame for the meltdown inadvertently, for the history shifts from that of a Soviet atomgrad to an Ukrainian atomgrad.
>>576642854>>576643213Let me explain it this way - Suppose the Chinese occupied your country, making it an integral part of China and installed a totalitarian system for 70 years. That systems kills tens of millions of Americans, including part of your family, before falling apart. Suppose they also cause a giant technogenic disaster during that time, rendering a part of your country uninhabitable due to pollution and everything there untouchable. You try to start anew, but it's hard, and is made harder by the same China under a different leadership and flag coming back for round two.Question - when making a game set in alternate version of that zone, do you plaster the symbols of China everywhere?
>>576644110Unfortunately it was, but that's not the point. This is >>576637427
>>576645785see>>576640663>>576637842
>>576645570Yes. I'd do the same if I was at GSC. You niggers have spent the last what 75 posts shitting up the thread about nothing. Although the anon who is rooting for commie rusfaggotry to be removed despite it being historical is a retard. Yes, even despite it being commie rusfaggotry.t.ukrainian
>>576645570In the fucking disaster zone that's still largely uninhabitable to this day? The giant monument to the failures of the (Chinese) invaders and their entire system of government?Literally yes, I put Chinese on everything (as would be historically accurate) because THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE DISASTER ZONE IS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE FAILURES OF THOSE WHO PRODUCED IT you fucking retard.The problem here is that you're some 80IQ inbred fuckwit who can barely think about what it would be like to have not had breakfast this morning while the people you're arguing with are trying to ENSURE THAT YOUR NATION IS NOT PORTRAYED AS THE VILLAIN in this work, but you are too fucking stupid to understand that because all you see is DURR SOVIET = BAD.

>>576649567OG Stalker 2 art is so fascinating because they really went so hard into the communist eastern Russian-influenced aesthetics. Like, they had no qualms about making the games be like that, there was no nationalism or ""russophobia"" or whatever. Literally the only thing that has changed between their 2012 view of politics in their games vs. the 2026 view is the rusniggers invading them and killing off their people. No idea how you can blame them after seeing the pre-war art desu, seems to me they had only the best intentions.

How come so few mods have adopted the belt system from the early stalker buildos, seeing as it allows you to have equipped items, ammo and so on without fucking around with cluter in your actual inventory grid?I always install Mags redux for Anomaly and it just reminds me of how stupid it is that they go in the main inventory instead of the suit slots along with the artifacts and gadgets, but it's more the fact that there's so few slots or space for slots in that space in the default CoP UI that you couldn't actually work it that way. Using the old belt system would be the most optimal solution, you could have a couple dozen spaces for shit to put on pockets and pouches and you could have a little bit of extra inventory management with ammo and artifacts competing for them.
>>576665579The version of mags redux that I use adds suit-specific mag slots. The mags are shown in the main inventory but technically they are in the suit slots. There's also a toggle to show them on your HUD.As for the question of why this system isn't used more often: because the majority of stalker players are casuals.
>>576665579because its shit
>>576635794There is no such thing as a Ukrainian. It's a made-up fake ethnicity using a fake language (It's like the difference between British and American English) fabricated by blood-drinking Satanic Slavic Jews.

I've had intrusive thoughts about what the perfect balance of variety and bloat is regarding the weapon choices in stalker ever since i saw they made a fucking PKM in 7.62x39. I think i've narrowed it to "every weapon type should have no less than 4 weapons and no more than 16" and "every weapon type should have no less than 2 calibers and no more than 6", so i've pegged it down to >Pistols and SMG9x18mak9x19para5.7x2845acp.357magnum>Shotgun12ga4ga (for the KS-23 alone)>Assault Rifle7.62x395.45x395.56x459x397.62x35(300blk)(mostly conversion upgrades from 5.56)>Battle Rifle/Sniper/LMG7.62x517.62x54r.30-06.50 BMG 12.7x108
>>576692030Shotguns should also have slugs.in any case I'm probably not the man to comment as for me there's no such thing as weapon bloat. the more /k/ommandofaggotry the better.
>>576692030Which guns would you want put in/ kept
>>576693201I had envisioned basically every gun that was in CoP + some of Stalker 2's additions, and some no brainer ones, for example there should be "a" Glock but not in 9mm because that's too generic, so the glock 21 for a third 45ACP option. I'd swap the DP-12 which is dumb with the KSG which is less dumb, as for rifles i'd totally have some really curious AKs to pad out each caliber, example>7.62x39Zastava M92Zastava M76AMD-65Type 56-2PM md 63 (Romanian dong AK)>5.45x39AKS-74NAKS-74UNAK-12A-545AN-94MalyukAnd since you could have a lot of rifles have the option to swap calibers (a staple of stalker at this point) you get a lot more variety since a lot of gun models are just "gun but other caliber", that'd be basically the entire reason to have 300blk in game.>>576693068My rationale is that weapon bloat happens when you have too many guns that look the same and feel the same and are named almost the same and you get no "oh neat" feel when you find one in game. Like Anomaly/Gamma have a lot of Gun(Alternate), Gun(camouflaged) going on and they suck, they're just ugly textures with an extra % to a stat nobody really notices. In-lore, it's also too much when you break the feeling that these are guns either brought in to do real work with or because they were actually available in that part of the world at that particular time, like it's an alternate reality but there's no fucking timeline in which someone who can afford a fucking gyrojet decides to bring it to a shithole like the zone. It has to be useful for something, either mutant hunting or combat or at just being a last resort gun that some ecologist dweeb can use.
Is stalker a good way to learn Russian
>>576677240no you don't
>>576696995This is the perfect resolution
I dont understand weapon autism
>>576694914One thing I enjoyed about stalker is the inclusion of "weird guns' like the F2000, also weird bits of alt-hist lore like the sa80 being pumped into the zone because the UK decommissioned it early and maybe they intentionally dumping it in the zone. Seeing more restrained and low-key gun alternate futures and design is nice
>>576701134Shame we didn’t see more of those in Stalker 2
>>576651684>bandits with giant Soviet emblems>Monolith with arabic islamic dress>Dolg with their stupid exoskeleton>Lukash expanding the Zone to encompass the EarthWas Stalker 2 cancelled version meant to be a comedy?
>>576705162You do have those SIIRCA suits but the la80 and f2000 being absent is dissapointing, though especially with siirca existing they could have played up the technological developments or applications.
>>576707927Personally all I want is a SIG SG 550. Not very futuristic of course but its just such a nice rifle. And for some reason its totally absent in that game.
>>576696109Yes, it's how I've been learning it. Also from watching Shkrek & Klick playthroughs.
>>576663926nice, busting caps on peoples ass>>576665579I also thought about it, it would be kinda cool to have, just as only having a pistol and main weapon slot. I feel like having three weapon slots are a over correction

I have to say, the VR mod is starting to become everything I've ever wanted.

What can a stalker 3 (lol) realistically even do now that so much of the Zone is already seen.
>>576734729more zones/expanded zonewe all know it under our skin but we've denied it for years, since the "tears of fukushima" fake poster days.
>>576717605>taking a picture of your monitor
>>576734729Nothing, they need to reboot the series and write out all the ukraine shit and put it in a new setting, make it like roadside picnic was supposed to be.Realistically they're just going to be making games about the war next.
Stalker 2 is actually good and fun (with tasteful mods)Can't wait for the engine update and DLC, just hope it's more than like 10 hours of content cause I'm holding off on going past the point of no return and beating the game until after i do the DLC
>>576739347cute collage, brah
will stalker 2 become good with the new update?
>>576734729the map can easily be redesign and justified with the zone rearranging itself just like SoC to CS, and you could do a sequel to one of endings of S2 or do story playing as Strelok before S2. There is plenty of lore to tell some kinda story even if it is a smaller scale one then S2
>>576739347At least the 2.0 update will make it less brown
>>576724052How does it differ from regular lost alpha>>576735708It's a print screen edited in paint...

>>576758435>>576758571>>576758613There's not a single high res replacer of the stock one on moddb for either anomaly or base cop or other mods, and i looked for high res texture packs and none of them do the 550 or 552/553 and they just look so crusty and dirty, this is the latest i found and it's from 2019 and it looks very poopy and smelly, and there's another one but it's unreleased
>>576758989oh....

just got to valley of whispers in op2.2. i know it's a running joke how bad it is but holy shit why is this even in the game why do russians love hitting themselves in the balls with hammers
oh my god i just looked at the wiki to see how much valley of whispers is left nevermind lmfao
So what is the dlc anyway? Is it a standalone story path, or does it also add new things to do in the base game? When do you access it? Mid game? End game? I want to know if I should start a new file and only play up to a certain point or just wait until its out and play from a finished save. Have they said anything about it in that regard?
>>576782685p sure you're good as long as you're not past the point of no returnit opens up the gated up iron forest and power plant
any buildo mods besides OLR? how is vector of alienation is it just a remake of OLR? I have been playing OLR 3.0 SOP and im having a blast, i've been wondering what other mods restore the 'find the documents freely at your own order' concept from the original Oblivion Lost era?
>>576787176VOA is easier than SOP, less refined and fewer quests but the story is pretty much the same with few differences. I think they are the same developers too.
>>576782685>When do you access it? Mid game? End game?From what I've heard, after SIRCAA and before Point of No Return.
>>576787176VOA is a bit more sparse than SOP. Far less running back and forth but some of the quests are different. It's also based on an older version of OLR so it has less item/stalker density and some of the buildings have fucked up collision problems. Still worth checking out but you might overdose on the buildo flavor if you play it right after SOP.
>>576789482>>576791745Seems interesting, well, i will probably try completing VOA first, thanks anons
>>576769337mm thats a nice animation
>>576773593We have a handful of IWPosters.>>576769792>>576794074Gunslinger movements and Tarkov guns are a great combonation.
>>576804546Zdeshy?
>>576783374>it opens up the gated up iron forest and power plantIt shouldnt be gated in the first place. It makes the area feel extremely artificial
I want to watch Wolfstalker but I don’t speak Russian….
>>576796110Why is there a midget bloodsucker
>>576809742well no shit, the only reason it's gated is because it's locked behind dlc...where have you been the last 25 years of artificial scarcity, drip fed content, and day 1 planned dlc
>>576813915>well no shit, the only reason it's gated is because it's locked behind dlc...Yeah and they should have removed this giant wall when the dlc is bought. But no, it remains, and thus is a constant reminder that this is DLC territory. Always segregated from the main content. It's gay as fuck when it's such a central structure in the Zone.
>>576818019what is the lore explanation for it anyway? they brought in a construction crew to wall off the cnpp? it's so stupid
>>576818019>Yeah and they should have removed this giant wall when the dlc is boughtthere's no content there nigga
>>576819432No idea, but it's guarded by the (not) military and it's heavily fortified. My guess is that the wall was constructed after Duty, Ward and whatever tried to dismantle the brain scorcher. It's all retarded anyway. It should have been completely open. CoP was all about figuring out why military helicopters were crashing in the Zone and you're telling me they brought construction crews in there without issues? I hate everything.
>>576819749The iron forest and cpp is there, of course there is content. That's kinda the point of the dlc too. Which is why the wall should be removed as a perimeter once dlc content is added.
>>576820038The content is coming in the DLCIf you noclip in i'm sure you'd find fuck all, maybe some anomalies and empty buildings, or just die from high rad barriers
>>576820236That's what I'm saying!
>>576820309it's not thoughif they opened it up right now, there would be nothing to do and no contentbecause the content isn't in the game and is being gatekept by dlc, there's nothing actually there yet
>>576810758>wanting to watch rusgols content creatorsBruh
>>576820869THAT'S WHY THE DLC, WHEN ACTIVATED FOR A POTENTIAL PURCHASER, SHOULD REMOVE THE FUCKING WALL. BECAUSE CONTENT IS ADDED THERE.
>>576822604nigger the game came out a year ago, the DLC was not developed, and therefore the DLC content did not exist, does not exist in the game in it's current state, and removing the wall that blocks you from entering this area does nothing, because there is nothing in the area because the content is not in the fucking game yetin case you need MORE explanation somehow, when the DLC launches in a few weeks, there will be a patch; in that patch will be the dlc contentBECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE FUCKING GAME YETit will be in the game on 20 Aug, but it's not in the game NOW, so there is nothing to access and the wall doesn't actually stop you from accessing this content BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE GAME YET
>>576823090The DLC should remove the wall because content is added with the DLC. This has been done in other games that have previously relegated Zones to DLC.It's incredible that this so difficult for you to understand, man
>>576823640You're never going to believe this, but when the DLC is in the game, you'll be able to go in through the gate past the wall, because there will actually be content thereWhen the DLC is added, because it's not yetI genuinely hope you kill yourself
>>576824162>you'll be able to go in through the gate past the wallThe wall should be REMOVED completely when the DLC is in the game. The wall is still present when there is a checkpoint.
>>576795551Nice sprint speed lol
>>576824297>place massive physical barrier in front of dangerous area where massive nuclear meltdown and explosion occurred to keep people out>dlc releases and this is barrier is no longer necessary that's just retarded
>>576824492The barrier was made because there was no content there. Now that content is there with the dlc this barrier can be removed.
>>576824706damn we really went from "creepy and treacherous exclusion zone usurped by nature" to "wacky ukrainian theme park" over politics
>>576825010With the barrier around the CNPP it certainly feels like a theme park, that's for damn sure.
>>576825010>all Soviet iconography at historical sites replaced by Ukrainian iconography because reasons>giant walls around everything>Zone police force>Giant modern building in the middle of the ZoneYeah the game fell off hard.
>>576819856Why is the warning text written in English..........
>>576626413
>>576831914>Temu Chernobyl
>>576626413Is this supposed to be the same place?
>>576835296stalker 2 development feels incredibly petty considering all the shit they're removing or altering.
>>576835296This place sucks so much.
>>576831914what's the point of the sphere
>>576795551I always hated this type of run speed.
Is the strelok quest supposed to trigger anything in analmeme when you find his stash? All I got was a notebook that says how to get into x18 and it just disappears when you use it without updating the quest.
>>576850283I have never played analmeme so I can't answer. Sorry....
>>576850283If I'm remembering right, X18 isn't required until way late in the game for some reason but I don't remember if Strelok's stash has any importance to it. Just put the notebook in a stash for later just in case.
>>576627861 Grigorovich himself said that Stalker can only be made by Russians & himself thought of the triune Russian nation
>>576856734but Grigo is a Right Sector supporter...
what is the most influential person in stalker's development besides mr pepsiman himself?
>>576858916Dmytro Iassenev
>>576856734woah, he used to be so supportive of the zased trad rossiya! I wonder what those nice brotherly slav russians did to his country that he did a complete 180 on them along with like 90% of the ukrainian population...
>>576864836woah.....
Is OLR 3 with SOP better than OLR 2.5 now? I've only played up to medpribor in 2.5, and I just want to make sure I'm getting the best buildo experience.
>>576866468what's SOP?
>>576867816Standard Operating Procedure. How do you not know this, being on a GAMMA/EFP general and all?
>>576867816Semi Official Patch, made by some close friends or devs (iirc?) from OLR development, in response to the divisive OLR 3.0 balancing
>>576866468Yes, i think so. It's harder and there are some annoying quests and backtracking but it's definitely better because there is more life into it than 2.5 while that version had barely any a-life. However, some people do like the desolate atmosphere of 2.5 so it really depends on you.

Assuming Cost of Hope includes some A-Life improvements, how much would you recommend modding it for a first playthrough? Shay's Living Zone and Maklane's Better Gunfights still required? Might even try it with gyro aim on my Steam Controller
>>576881385I played for maybe 30 hours or so on launch then dropped it cause of the utter disappointment in A-life and the potential gamebreaking bug(s) after a certain point in the story that I didn't want to get past.Picked it up again with the announcement of the DLC and 2.0 and added the Better Ballistics (core) mod and another that increases the value of anomalies (anywhere from 2x to 100x depending on the pak file you want to use) and have been having a lot of funThe Better Balistics mod also has a Redux version that makes a ton more balance changes to the game but requires a new save cause it basically revamps the whole game. That's probably the way I'd play it if I started over, not 100% sure about a first playthrough but probably would prefer that to vanilla (I initially didn't like that mutants felt bullet spongy so I used a mod to reduce mutant hp but that made it kinda easy and the better ballistics mod seems to strike a better balance)Might try the Living Zone mod cause it has been feeling pretty dead lately coming back to it, feels like I can basically just run around from place to place and never really worry about anything
And the Zone kick you out!!!
>>576881385Seeing as binos are finally implemented then they're surely adjusting the spawn zone radius at least.
>>576882891Aside from spawn radius being absolutely pathetic, is the A-Life/offline behavior good?
>>576883383I haven't played since launch but I've heard that.
I really want to get into GAMMA but the viewport feels so fucking weird at high resolution (4K) and there's too much emphasis on crafting/maintenance.Any advice besides just play CoC Old World instead? I just enjoy A-Life simulation.
>>576885507>I just enjoy A-Life simulation.Anomaly + alifeplus
>>576869136I heard about the a-life in OLR 3 being crazy, allegedly. Does SOP neuter the a-life at all compared to base OLR 3.
>>576890868If anything it does the contrary, judging from the latest patch. Makes it even more active
My playtime in OLR SOP would probably be cut in half if you could regen stamina while walking or if there was an artifact that boosted endurance without starving you to death in seconds. Artifacts are great for making money but pretty useless to actually use in this mod.
IWP has won me over. The mod has beautiful realism, a charming naturality that speaks to the subtle taste of the authros, a deep and rich progression system what has been carefully crafted and rivals even the Clear Sky. The author has my respect and can hold his head high as an honoary Slav. I can warmly recomemend the IWP as essential STALKER-core alongside I.W.A., A.R.E.A., C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E, R.E.D.U.X., R.E.B.O.R.N., S.H.O.K.E.R.

>>576885070why... are zoomers obsessed... with this b-list actor...?...
Man, I love being greeted with the most schizo cutscene in OLR and then dying inmmediatly afterwards because a poltergeist and 3000 chernobyl dogs appreared
why is it so hard for people to come up with interesting mutants, nobody has ever liked giant spider or "chimera but worse"
stick bug mumbah WANN
>>576914709Because it's stalker, not silent hill. You have to base the monsters on something real, that doesn't leave much room for experimentation.
>>576921041remember the stalker 2 cancelled versions mutants? Those were quite outlandish.
>>576921041There are plenty of weird real things though

>>576972327OLR 3.0, made by some friends of the og mod maker, even better alife, English options, improved upon the terrible disease system and so on. Much better than the community patch that’s been floating around.
>>576502818is it even possible to enjoy S2 after playing heavily modded hc Anomaly
>>576973237Anomaly fags don’t even like the stalker games so the question is moot.
>>576973970Anomaly is just regular stalker but sandbox and 10x harderfrom what I heard S2 is linear and has little replayability, you can't even continue exploration after beating the game
>>576975198>right clicks onto use instead of mashing clickEven virtual women can't do anything right.
>>576975198Rite of passage
>>576927430
>>576976860I loved this one
>>576975436I know you are joking but if you played it today for the first time unless you read the manual it's not immediately obvious considering you can drag-and-drop items to equip them, move them when you trade or when you loot corpses.She eventually learned that you can double-click to move ammo.
>>576979196good
>>576979196I guess so but I kinda intuited it from PC games in general like mashing right click and >ability clicking in WoW and other games as a kid.
>>576976860We were robbed.
>>576977604>>576982174It's been a while, but I remember the gimmick for that mutant being that it lured stalkers away with a siren song, then it would carry them off to its lair. Might be remembering wrong.
>>576982694You are correct. The soop I believe it was called
I kind of hope a lot of the old Stalker 2 gets repurposed into the current Stalker 2.>>576982980There was also a bit I remember where its skin was invulnerable to damage, and so you had to let it carry you to its lair, then open fire when it opens its maw to eat you.
>>576983208Yeah I recall something like that as well. But it’s been so long.

>>576975198who is this
>>576995151https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAjPqaUSksUI
>>576975198I didn’t know vtubers liked stalker
>>576995321Thank you
>>576997845If you like FPS games and you are a little bit curious about the setting it's easy to get into it, even if you are used to playing more recent games.
>>576999786How do they handle the constant hurling of the word retard and faggot by enemies
>>577000284Simple. They don't speak z*gger.
>>577000503Even in English they say it. At least in CS and CoP. Can’t remember SoC.
>>577000284I think Sid says retard at least once.The platforms allow it if it's part of the game and the game is not banned.the vtubers themselves I don't think they really care.
>>577000284That’s something I really missed in Stalker 2. The language is extremely sanitized by comparison
>>576999786Cute
>>577001454>The language is extremely sanitized by comparisonThey toned down the insults?...
i have this idea in mind for the last few days, but im unsure if someone would like this ideastalker soc but with permadeath, no saving and no loading, however, when you die, instead of saying the 'lost to the zone' screen, it says your orverall statistics like rank in the leaderboards, money, time played, pda points, kills and etc, and players could share their best run on teh interwebz for a little competition
>>577007080That'd be pretty cool. Without saving though, the most threatening anomaly in your path would be the game engine itself.
>>577011754true, hmm perhaps a campfire-only saving or let the autosave per level be the only saves the player can rely on, to mitigate loadscumming a bit
>>577011931If you had the capability, a system where players had to sacrifice artifacts to save would be cool. There's no way of getting around the instability of the game but allowing saves will open up its own can of worms (backup save spam).It would at least be cool to have the makeshift tombstones appear where players died. Show their loadout, stats, cause of death etc.
>>577004709As far as I can see, yes
someone needs to go through the old mods and fix up the spelling to the proper ukranian ones
>>577018852Why Japanese when Soviet imported a fuckload more Koreans
Where do I even start with the STALKER?I always wanted to get into it, but I always lose interest right before the first Agroprom dungeon. Also, is STALKER 2 worth playing now or is it still a buggy mess?
>>577020341Why do you lose interest? are you sure you arent just scared? hmmmmm?no i dont think stalker2 is worth playing yet
>>577020469>Why do you lose interest?No, it's the way it tells a story I think. It has an interesting story, but it presents it in a very bland "follow the breadcrumbs" manner.
>>577020584the zone itself is the story, either you jell with it or you donti would say give it a couple more after the agroprom underground to see if it grabs you.base SoC with ZRP should be all you need to get it working normally
>>577020813a couple more hours*
Is there a way to easily downgrade the latest 0.95 version of GAMMA when on GOG?I am asking out of scientific interest.
>>576598617I'm so tired bros. What confuses me is that people used to say Chernobyl and Pripyat are monuments to the failures of the Soviet Union and their incompetence, but now Ukraine wants to say "that big fuck up was all us right here, not those soviets". Very weird stance to suddenly take.
>>577022645Yes it’s incredibly strange
>>577022645It’s tied to their newly implemented censorship law I believe, but it doesn’t excuse it. It is effectively erasure of a historical past in favor of a narrative that never had historical precedence. It is quite delusional. Soviet sympathy in modernity is one thing. History is entirely another. Simply depicting Soviet symbolism at a historical site is not glorification.
>>577026230>Simply depicting Soviet symbolism at a historical site is not glorification.To be fair, a lot of Soviet symbolism is propaganda in and of itself. That's why Poland is happily dismantling any Soviet monument of "brave Red Army soldiers liberating Poland" because, motherfucker, they kinda remember it differently.Poland also wanted to raze the Palace of Culture and Science - known in Warsaw as Stalin's penis to the ground, but the building stayed and Poles simply built the shitton of skyscrapers around it that dwarf it in size, so that's Russia's penis is no longer the biggest.
>>577022645The key part why i used to adore the franchise and it's visual language had to deal with the area being a time capsule to a culture, world and catastrophe that no longer exists and feels alien. It's also why i think adding decidedly Ukrainian nationalistic imagery and revisionism feels like such a blow to what made the game and it's world unique. If you have to abide to some ass backwards censorship law or something else, simply make the environments neutral in imagery. Stalker shouldn't be a political and societal bludgeoning tool.
>>577027658Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991. I don’t know if you missed out on that.
>>577027921It is a blow to the game and their history. But they’re drunk on nationalism and can’t see beyond the foggy veil at the moment. Just like Poland.
>>577027658Chernobyl is a historical site. All history is sacred. Feelings are irrelevant in the grand scale of time.
>>577028909>Feelings are irrelevant in the grand scale of time.Same goes for nationalism. Countries have reformed, collapsed and been born anew even in the time span of our current century so the only thing everyone has in common is their historical and cultural heritage. Both of which usually cannot be erased in the span of a simple war or territorial changes. If the Swedes didn't manage to stamp out their ugric neighbors cultural heritage in 800 years of them being a peasant tax & draft farm with aristocratic and cultural occupation, then i doubt nations with even closer hereditary ties will ever rid themselves of their larger heritage. It's why the current political and military debate feels so pointless. Even if you dissolved Russia on the spot, you'd still be left with a culture that is inherently Russian with a population that still culturally identifies as Russian. The same logic applies in reverse too, which is even more ironic considering how much certain forces in Ukraine try to escape that realization.
>>577029867Precisely.
Stalker was never a Russian game.
>>577030019Soviet =/= Russia.
>>577030019But it's always been a slavic game, you know...
>>577029867Hear hear
ukraine always was always will be russian
>>577039108More like the other way around culturally with the Rurikids and so on which was transposed onto the growing Russian milieu gradually after Ruthenian historical dominance and centuries of Scandinavian inter-marriage alliances.
>>577039976
>>577040229Currently forced to work, but I’ll come back to this when I can if I haven’t died of exhaustion.
>>576999786I only like stalker as far as fps games go
>>576983208Well….it looks like the expansion is only giving us one new mutant.
>>577044834WHAT!
>>577045737Well it’s technically two.
>>577047470The mutant embryo and the Kadaver.

Once again I cannot recommend the anomaly VR mod enough. It's still jank but holy shit I haven't wanted to play stalker this much in years.

>>577057072stfu
>>577073725no u
>>577056065That's just your opinion. That mod has a unique atmosphere that I've never seen on any other one even though it's incomplete.
Why are GAMMAfags like this?
>>577029867>Even if you dissolved Russia on the spot, you'd still be left with a culture that is inherently Russian with a population that still culturally identifies as Russian.This is true if some country occupied it for a small amount of time, otherwise they would get assimilated to the culture of their conqueror or at least their culture would get heavily changed if the occupation lasted for a long time
>>577076095>literally had to use AI to make a stick figure comicOpinion invalidated, repent zoomer
>>577076291it's not my comicargue the point dumbass gammafag
>>577076095Never played it but what makes these mods fun is the hobo phase. If you remove that, it would just get boring unless there are some interesting quests in them.Imagine if there was a way to make npcs have limited ammo and shitty equipment just like the player. Now that would make it fair. And instead of npc spamming gun fight, they'd fight intelligently and escape if they couldn't win.
>>577077987I don't mind the hobo phase but it's ridiculous when you're scrounging for a specific screw that goes in a specific component of a specific rifle. Why are veteran NPCs dropping 11% conditioned pistols?
>>577026230That doesn't explain why they changed the names of sites to be Ukranian spelling. They even literally took down and remade the entry sign to Pripyat with new spelling. At this rate I really wouldn't be surprised if the remaining Soviet murals suddenly disappear.
>>577027658polacks are genuinely insane about commies, don't trust them on anything historical, it's a fake nation of 70 iq apeshit schizos
I just realized "Spark" is just a watered down Monolith and the "shining zone" is just the "~*democratic socialism*~" version of the Monoliths' stalinist marxism.Stalker 2 has a lot of good ideas and it doesn't do a good job at presenting almost any of them.
>>577089458It's lacking worst of all since you barely spend any time with any major factions. Duty and Freedom are now just soulless background characters.
>>577076378what point?
>>577091962that GAMMA is for faggot retard heckin' hardcore survival enjoyers and not traditional STALKER fans.
>>577090030I think the metanarrative is that the old factions were ideologically "pure" and their decline was a natural result of the zone itself undoing their hubris and fanaticism, while their new replacements (Spark and Ward) are expressions of the same general concept but warped. While Duty were extreme and uncompromising to the point it almost destroyed them, their pragmatic side made them enable stalkers to fuck around in the zone even against their strict goals, and in the end they were just doing the military's job for them. Ward is even more pragmatic being the zones' self appointed cops, but they're all but cucked to the perimeter forces and the institute, even doing their dirty work.Meanwhile, Freedom believed in the openness of the zone in the most ambiguous way possible and they essentially just defined themselves by what they opposed and what they wanted to get away with doing unmolested(like true lolberts), and yet they still operated with a paramilitary structure and kept the up the barrier among other things as literal boundaries within the zone Spark takes the wishy washy nature of freedom and adds a pie in the sky goal to unlock "the shinning zone" which is just a poorly understood and downright comedically optimistic way of being soul-trapped by the noosphere into a nightmare alternate dimension of the zone forever, essentially being fooled into doing the bidding of the zone without any mind control or magic wish granting rock at the end, only being brain damaged utopians."Undercooked" is Stalker 2's slogan but i don't think people really examine what it means story-wise more than gameplay-wise. The rough concept is pretty good, just botched hard.
>>577073725nah bru u
>>577094040this is a well thought out and long post so i'll agree with it
>>577094040I agree.

>>577075558incomplete to say the least, has jank beyond belief. Still my favorite freeplay mod though, love to open at 2 in the morning just to aimlessly wander and hunt while listening to the soundtrack.

>>577109551Two hours of inactivity is actually generous now in terms of bump. At vg's worst the STALKER threads would die within sub one hour of no reply because the gacha shit was moving so fast. It's slowed down now again thankfully.

>>577012786I could try to implement base ZRP with no extra additions to the mod to at least make it somewhat stable, it's better than nothingAbout the makeshift tombstone mechanic, that sounds super cool, i have no idea how it could be implemented exactly (imagine someone making a makeshift tombstone in a Xlab), but it's really nice, it reminds me of dark souls, even though i never played any of themI had another thought, you can ask some traders to save your game, however it costs money, the closer the trader is to the north, the more expensive it is, so players can make a decision to go to all the way to Cordon to meet Sidorovich to save their game or decide to save at Lukash's for example, though the artifact saving mechanic could be good, i dont know how it could be balanced since artifacts in SoC are quite abundant, like the tunnel to Yantar in Wild Territory
I am going to play as a female stalker and you fags cannot stop me.
>>577116012maybe its dollchan, maybe my pc just doesnt like coc i dunno but its the stalker that crashes the most for me
>>577124437shitty to hearcould be either reallymaybe try a different renderer?
>>577120501I think if anyone were to play the mod they'd be understanding of Stalker's unstable nature but ZRP would still be appreciated.I have no knowledge on the logistics of what you're trying to build so the tombstone idea could be a complete pipe dream. The Souls games did come to mind but also since the makeshift cross/gasmask is already so prevalent in the series.Paying traders to save your game would probably work out better while still being semi immersive. I forgot how easy it is to stock up on artifacts in SOC. It'd be far less cheesable to pay traders since you'd have to risk making loot runs to build up rubles too. You could add some weight to the ranking so that less saves or a 'no save run' would place someone higher in ranking.
>>577124793yeah, they didnt seem to make a differencehowever adding some UI mods through jgsme actually made it much more stable, now it might crash every 2 hours or so, rather than every 5minutes
Do you think love can bloom in The Zone?
>>577094040I fully understood the concept, it still just feels like a cop out that we pretty much have absolutely no dealings with either faction. The Duty base is utterly boring since there's really only one quest there and it disappears if you don't activate it as soon as you discover the place. I can't even remember if Freedom has anything to do at all.As people always point out, there is a painful lack of side quests in the game and when you look at a map and compare it to progression of the plot, you notice that all the side quests are at the very start of the game and taper off to maybe 1 or 2 (or none) by the latter half of the game. My best guess is that Freedom and Duty didn't have no quests for plot reasons, they simply just had no quests because the game is undercooked.
>>577128935It’s a sin.
>>577128935Where are the women
>>577130991And it will never be fixed either sadly.
>>577112649>>577116137that's one of alexander rudenko's arts. they are all about stalker but he sometimes added random stuff from his imagination, like this two-headed dog on this piece
>>577076095Compltely agree. These faggots think that rails and hollogramic scopes are somehow "stalker". It irritates me that the fandom is infected by there inisistence on westslopping every aspect of STALKER. You don't hate gammafags enough.
>>577145187I hate them.

>>577211969No!
AK-74M or AKS-74U?Sorry for the graphics, I was playing on my old laptop.
>>57721419074m74u is always the worst AK
>>57721419074u if you are considering using trenchcoat or leather jacket for mobility and running around if you dont have any stamina artefacts or suit upgrades74m is the best overall
>>577215234>>577215747>74M is betterYeah, but I think 74U is kinda cool. Honestly, I'm torn.
>>577216663Really? I'm not a gun faggot but the holographic bits and folding stock look worse than the full sized AK.
>>577217284That's not holographic sights, it's just tritium.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_radioluminescenceAlso, both have folding stocks.
Anyway, do you think this look better than the normal 74U?
>>577218589
>>577215234this.
Just 9 more days till Cost of cope.
>>577218589The silencer looks like a penis
>>577231224no.
>>577218589The 100 series is the best the AK got looks wise, they just look nice with straighter mags than with the really curvy ones. The 74M is also the best kind solely because it had all the quality of life improvements while still being well built and not jank as fuck like the AK12.
>>577215234>>577215747>>577235945Nobody's really gonna say AKSU?
>>577237615it's just a shortened 74 that's mediocre in game AND in real life. You get none of the benefits of it being short and it does mediocre damage, it's not meaningfully cheaper, and frankly its just uglier..
>>577237615>meme akahhhh yes the shortest barrel with the even more inaccurate caliber
>>577237615>>577237952nevermindthats the same shit as aks-74u
>>577237615i like it marked juan used this to kill rats and cientific men
>>577238304This anon gets it.
Is it me, or the weapons in OLR/VoA feels better than vanilla SoC? i prefer vanilla guns and gunplay, i usually avoid weapon packs since they make the weapons time to kill really fast, bt in OLR andVoa they feel acurrate and hard hitting but not too homogenized, was it like this in the earlier stalker builds? or it was a modification from the mod developers?
>>577200210>should be freeyou're making a mod, not selling, who gives a fuck where you took it from>russian/ukrainian war movies>youtube videos with keywords "russian psycho" or similar. search in russian

Is it fair to say that Anomaly/GAMMA and derivatives have nothing to really do with liking the vanilla STALKER games? Playing either of those modpacks never felt the same as playing the actual games to me.
I had a dream about driving dirtbikes and even roadhogs through the zone, would they be better as vehicles than cars and trucks? If you stuck an anomaly detector on a long fishing pole in front?
>>577265738>would they be better as vehiclessure
>>577266301hahahahahaha
>>577235945>The 100 series is the best the AK got looks wise, they just look nice with straighter mags than with the really curvy ones...

What are peoples thoughts when comparing the Gamma modpacks to the Anthology modpack? I need others to come up with an opinion for me

I just love OLR so much.
What tips would you guys give total stalker gamma newfag? I played trilogy of ogs but i feel pretty lost in gamma. Like 20hrs still idk what im doing.
>>577311378Have you played any other mods before?
>>577311513Nah
>>577311637Oh.
>>577241812i dont give a shit about the legality of it, dumbass. im poor as dogfuck. you think im worried about my dumb little mod getting me in trouble?
>>577311378I would recommend to start on easy, but since you're already 20 hours in, it's too late.Your goal is to continue doing random quests until you get advanced tools in yellow stash, craft C weapon and medium armour, clear X-16 lab, clear X-10 lab, move to the north, continue doing random quests until you get expert tools, get D weapon and exo armour, finish the main quest.
>>577312002pipe down lad
>>577311378you gotta follow this chart religiously
>>577312472My current pretty pathetic progress, idk im surviving i guess.Also didnt touch difficulty settings so idk what dif im on even.
>>577313232im not that anon, and im not slav.are you always this much of a little spaz?
>>577308259OLR SOP is shockingly long. Tons of quests to do without feeling too excessive or immersion breaking. Very bleak atmosphere as well. The Garbage and Yantar look like Hell on Earth.
i'm installing iwp again
>>577316240nta but how long is OLR SOP? i dont like really long duration mods because i prefer to replay games or mods time to time, so longevity is a factor to me
>>577322910I have no way of tracking my current playtime but I’d guess I’m at 50+ hours and I’ve only just unlocked Radar. It’d be a bit less if cars didn’t bug out and refuse to move sometimes. Also if I wasn’t lead astray by the fucked up translation every so often.
This is all because GSC can't even announce what the fuck they are adding in the new version. That would give discussion material for at least 50 posts.
>>577332245its ok, we have plenty to talk about without S2
