Reminder Duty was always correct.
Looking for that one S2 teaser trailer GSC put out in 2011 if anyone has it. It's about 10 seconds long and featured a short walk through a very lush green swamp. Project was still running x-ray when this was released, but the video itself is just gone from the internet.
>>580286145Oh I remember these, an Anon posted them quite a while back. Have a bunch of them saved.
>>580292046I just now realize that the steel structure that's on top of the destroyed depot roof stems from a collapsed crane that stood beside it
>>580291869This has to be a bot
>>580277942>>580279742That wasn't The Zone's fault, it was Dalin trying to do The Caribbean Experiment 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Man, I love how the cost of weapon upgrades is tied to their value/tier, so on one weapon a foregrip or a laser pointer will be 5K, but on another the same upgrade will be 8K.They could at least make it make sense.
Sidorovich Molestation Ritual
>>580294276Posting it once every thread instead of fucking spamming it 10 times a thread. The fuck more do you want?
>>580294309In the opening scene we hear the radio where some egghead says that "the Zone is stable and isn't expanding". If you go south in Lesser Zone you can find ruins of an old perimeter wall, destroyed by anomalies, proving that the Zone is expanding.
>>580294276how he does it is perfectly legit, I'd do it like that too if I were searching for something here
First to say Stalker 2 is cock n ball torture for retconning the trilogies and also denying that's just a dogshit clear sky space bubble anomaly.
>Get Guardian>Jams during the following fight>Ditch it for my rifle>Stash it, explore, return to the normal Zone>Get a guide to Yaniov>Slap Harpy with Guardian until she repairs and upgrades it>Take it out for a "Kill some mutants" radiant quest>Reload as I leave the train station so it's ready for some mutant killing>Still fucking jammed>>580295049We know the Zone is expanding, but Skif's apartment was 100% Dalin being a petulant little child.
When should I go explore the Cooling Towers? Are there any main quests that take me there or should I just go north from Cement Factory and have some fun?
UBEJ GUNSLINGER
>>580296217Nah no main quests but it's best to go there after the rave party at circaa
>>580296475Messer stop smoking freedom asscrack.
>>580296606Fair enough, thanks
>>580294309>>580295049>>580296071Which means zone is expanding whenever someone fucks with something other than goofing off around campfires and small anomalies, meaning it's too dangerous and will keep expanding I swear to God if we get Stalker 3 where the story takes place in eastern Germany people will still find ways to claim it's not expanding and never has been
An old-school isometric adventure S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game would be pretty neat.

>>580300529>why would you want free money!?
>>580300529Because you'll come across a dooty squad who are gonna ask you for help fighting the monolols and you'll start a side mission, where you'll get a 100% condition SVU rifle and you'll murder a buncg of monolols with a good chance that one of them will have a gauss gun

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the CCon academy, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Barrier, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire Moнoлит forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Zone and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, suka. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the smuggled UA military gear and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, Cвoлoчь.
I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD MEAN

>>580292046Would you be willing to post the rest, anon?
>>580304221LoL one of the first mods that came out for S2 was removing the sounds of these disgusting creatures whining when you shoot them (the ones in the game are also disgusting an bad too) Lmao dogfaggots are the worst

Mullato and Pajeet stop arguing and talk some /sg/ what is this stalker 2 Duty cement fagtory basement intercourse ? Get a grip clowns
>>580305230Unwarranted and uncalled for dog hatred is the signature of mudslimes. I'm literally asking to shoot more monster dogs and he can't hear the discussion without being forced to spew his religious indoctrination at me.
>>580304321I would be literally be spamming the thread though. Problem is, I have 16 in good quality, and 51 in just ok quality. Within those 51 am sure those 16 also repeat. Not sure if that's how the guy posted them, or if I only managed to get those 16 in high quality, the images are tagged with 2017 so fuck me if I remember what I did that far back. I could upload them somewhere else in bulk, but don't really know what I can even link on 4chins anymore.Oh, KEK, never mind, those 16 are too big for 4chins anyway.
I cannot get over how many stairs or ladders there are that are basically impossible to climb because ???. The one train engine model that has LITERAL STAIRS that you can't step on 90% of the time. Or the combine harvesters that have fully intact ladders than you have to jank your way up if you want on top.>>580304190I wonder if anyone has actually been mad enough to use an RPG in that fight.

>have to press buttons in the final fight of cost of hope (duty route)>none of the buttons seem to be able to be interacted withI hope i'm not being retarded and walking circles missing an obvious button but this seems impossible to progress.
>>580305346Unwarranted and uncalled for reference to islam on unrelated comments is the signature of kikes, cleetuses and concerned daddies with shaky voices

>>580291869whatever you are looking for most likely wasn't official. there are absolutely no records of any s2 2011 teasers anywhere, the autists who run the russian wiki would know about it and have it saved, the article about the game even mentions random tv channels where s2 was mentioned, so a teaser drop wouldn't go unnoticed. i went through some old forums as well and found nothing. i found this showcase of some stalker online fan project from 2011, perhaps it was something related to it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUN8XGrCz8Y
>>580306359> there's /pol/tards spamming /sg/ now Well fuck at least there's 0% chance of seeing them in daily life I suppose
>>580306467I was just posting about a blind dog model I want modded into the game. I dind't bring /pol/ in. The mudslime did.
>>580306467TRVKE
>>580306562But there was literally no mention of religion before that redneck clown started ranting
>>580303362
>>580306776>Want to shoot monster dogs>Religious nutcase starts spewing about how much doglovers suckHe absolutely did bring up his religion. You'd have to be stupid not to see that.

>>580306418Mate, I can 100% guarantee you that it was real. And remember seeing on the official site by the way, not youtube or any other video site. The scene was like this, you were looking through the eyes of a Stalker, and as mentioned he was walking through a very green swamp. Can't recall for sure if he was walking through the swamp itself or on some makeshift bridges like you see on the CS swamps. In any case, at some point the guy takes out a gas masks and equips it, akin to the Metro animation. And that was it.I am not crazy man, the teaser is real. And just the fact that it's gone grinds my autism gears to no end.
>>580307292TRVTH NVKE
>>580307593So there's no waiting period or whatnot. Any other places I can drop them in without getting the ban hammer? Don't just want to drop any random hosting site here and get fucking nuked.

Freedom is a faggot group asslicked by Devs to push UA Cuckaganda to make Duty look russian and bad that's why we don't have AN-94 coz it's russian and le bad for those reddit Freefags at NuGSC
Ah, yeah, it's exactly the first 16 that don't work. Everything else is fine.
>>580309748These work for me.
>>580309904It was unfortunately always asslicked, I never understood why plebbitors loved it so much, probably because dude weed lmao but I could be wrong
>>580306467>there's /pol/tards spamming /sg/ nowNow? It's been this way since 2022 when the war started and reached its zenith around 2's release (I didn't browse the first week because I was actually playing the game). Besides these two faggots and the Holden guy it's actually on average been better with people actually discussing the games both sequel and original trilogy alike.
>>580310669>it's bad when you tell mudslimes to fuck off and shut up about their dogma and actually you should tolerate religious diatribes from pedophile cults
>>580310669Now's much better all around than in '22 and around the release trust me I was here lol. Didn't want to play the game without at least seeing some ways to get OP early but 99% of it was exactly what you think He's still replying and ranting btw holy shit haha
>>580309904According to this logic there shouldn't be a single ak, pm, pkm or svd in the game They did the next worst thing and made them severely underpowered
>>580310171In the first one too, past the first 16, the big bois, they all work as well.
>>580310563AN-94 is cool>Hyperburst to "defeat armor" by landing two bullets in one hole gimmickry>AK aesthetics but scary and blackIt was strong as fuck in Battlefield Bad Company 2 as well which brought it a lot of fans.
>>580311567>They did the next worst thing and made them severely underpoweredt. only plays modded stalker
>>580311567Those are used by the UA armed forces. They underpowered them to make them have the upperhand with their UA superiority complex against the russians.>Slava West Benin Weapons Stalker Spurdos
>>580313039Fuck forgot >Pic rel
>>580313039When I used an actual AK on a range long ago it ruined vidya for me, it's insane how much games downgrade it for balancing and to make it seem as just a quirky old russian gun that go bang but isn't special. It's accurate as fuck and almost has no recoil if anyone's wondering
>>580313925The only game that did justice to AKs was og 2009 MW2 and CoD4 that shit was nice.
>>580314165Dunno man the AK was pretty sweet in trespasser.
>>580313925if you based gun balance off of what worked irl you wouldn't ever have to worry about progression, whatever AK or AR rifle will work perfect and be reliable basically the entire time, you'd be worse off picking anything else
>>580314950Well it kinda is like that in a lot of games, assault rifles shit on everything else just like in reality, what isn't realistic is jamming and malfunctions where that mechanic exists, it should happen when would walk through mud or something or if you drop it, not if you shoot 2 magazines out of a gun, that was always annoying for me. S2 did this really badly
>>580309904>that's why we don't have AN-94Doesn't explain why we have Groza, Bizon, Saiga, SVU and every soviet gunMy working hypothesis is that the devs just have shit taste and would rather add another SCAR knockoff rather than something from original arsenal
>>580313925the ak pattern is sexy but the ergonomics suck. the selector switch sucks, the trigger sucks, the sights suck. it deserves to be crappy in games.
>>580314165Counter Strike wasn't the first game to cross your mind for a solid AK?
AK is fine in most games. The reason why it "sucks" is simple>Lower RoF>Bigger bulletThey usually make it the slightly unwieldy but more damaging option. Nothing wrong with that. It's not a conspiracy.
>>580313925all common, "boring", guns get massively downgraded in videogames because otherwise people would whine there's no reason to use cool weird and niche ones intead. In S2 the HK416 is mediocre as fuck and has worse stats than other 5.56 guns for no reason, and is somehow less reliable despite the entire reason that gun gets around is because it's the most reliable an AR type gun can get.Stalker being a game series where reliablity actually DOES matter, some guns being very hardy and tough when exposed to harsh conditions is somewhat depicted but the other side of that, which is how easy they are to service, manipulate and carry is not. It shouldn't be too hard to do but i think players would overall think it's too annoying that a gun has a noticeably bad trigger, that the game might expect you to play the stupid little field stripping animation and wipe it and grease it every so often and take care of it like a baby kitten, etc.>>580318374The original gun selection was basically just all movie-famous guns and shit from magazines that looked cool at the time. We have stuff like the L85 that nobody thought was really good or interesting, it only looked very iconic externally. The Groza and the AN-94 were "future guns" from the Eastern block while the F-2000 and G36 were futuristic western guns, in fact the F-2000 was supposed to have the computer sight at first. Now all the future guns are western SCAR/Masada clones or piston ARs because everything is more lame.

>>580320926I bet that she looks sexy as hell in lingerie
>>580320980Someone did free camera or out of bounds and showed she's wearing stockings and her lab coat/dress whatever only goes down to mid-thigh. Knowing that a simple wooden desk hides her delicious legs has plagued me ever since.
>>580320980I remembered her having a more sexy office lady vibe on release but after playing it again she looks more like a frumpy Jewish woman.
>>580321251>she's wearing stockings and her lab coat/dress whatever only goes down to mid-thigh.holy FVARK
So what happened to Cardan?
>>580321251
>>580318550Yeah it doesn't have a tiny safety switch and a ton of rails for attaching bread dots and you have to pull the charging handle to load and unload it, throw it in rhe trash, worst gun ever >>580318626> Counter strike AK Literal le AK is le inaccurate meme
>>580321715>Outside of the audiologs in-game, Cardan potentially was supposed to appear in Heart of Chornobyl proper, as leftover actor information suggests. He was coded as a Loner technician, same as Call of Pripyat, and was meant to spawn in the Roofed Warehouse along with Dvupalov and Shcherba.Curse of Griga strikes again...
>>580321251post that shit right now nigga >>580321507still hotter than that basic bitch from freedumb base and the holographic hag from sircaa
Uh...
Shay's Living Zone is giving me a lot of headaches recently.Is it safe to remove it in a save?Furthermore, what does it EXACTLY do that the game doesn't do already since the 2.0 update?Honestly I don't give a fuck about this Analmeme-tier A-Life slop that is being shilled everywhere, I'm just tired of finding dead looted stalkers everywhere. It wasn't like this in the trilogy.
>>580322718You came to the wrong swamp motherfucker.
>>580322340>Literal le AK is le inaccurate memeWrongThe first shot is pinpoint accurate, and the recoil is completely reasonable for a Type 3 AK with its angled down stock and no muzzle device whatsoever
I have an insatiable lust for the blood of freedom members.
>>580323494> Yikes duderino how could you say that let's chill and smoke some weed bro are you tripping They unironically talk like this in S2, cost of cope was too long of a wait if you ask me shame we don't get to burn their base and take over rostok though

>>580323728Just meeting hawaiian was enough to confirm to me they all must die.
>>580324092Why do you people have to ruin everything that's already hot >>580324241God that fag was annoying all the way back in 00s
Is there anything more to the DLC areas after killing all of the Freedomfags in CNPP and the merc (Hatchet) quest? Going back to explore it later and get that Faraday anomaly but decided to do some main quest stuff after I didn't see any more side quests pop up after those two.
>>580324596There are a fistful of side quests. Dealing with the psi anomaly that flashbangs your vision yellow should be a priority though.
>>580324596> Everyone who plays the DLC automatically decides to gun down the freedumbers Where did you find picrel? Artwork looks really nice
>>580324006>>580321251I did that and posted images in /sg/ on release week

>>580331086>deadeyeewwwwww
>>580332770you shall not shame the stainless steel slide USP
>>580330514Ragman matters more as difficulty climbs simply because every coupon counts early on where repair costs eat you alive. Once skif is reasonably geared up he stops being worth it outside of the really expensive guns which can still be worth a lot in red condition. Once you get past the sircaa happenings you shouldn't be picking up AK's and shotguns in general regardless of condition as they simply are not worth enough to lug about.
>>580332770>>580332986yeah using it cause it reminds me of the classics
>>580333083I should put the raised USP tactical sights on my own USP compact. I got the threaded barrel but with my suppressor on the sights are blocked kek
I'm enjoying Radiophobia 3
>>580333313>radiophobia 3>post has 4 threes and ends in a three
Whoever at GSC thought a screen covering blinding yellow light was a good idea needs to be punched, pushed down some stairs and all their vodka thrown into a river.
>>580333313I can tell you've not played it for long. Just you fucking wait by the time you reach the CNPP you'll never want to play the mod again.
i still onions every time i see this location
>>580334260you can soiboy in the DLC like that too
>>580334219So the same as Vanilla where it turns into a OHKO corridor shooter
>>580334219this lmao >>580334343CNPP run in SoC was painful even on stalker difficulty, like u need an absurd amount of gear i assume what he meant is its even worse in radiophobia thobut i have beaten radiophobia ages ago, it's not that bad if you're geared up (I was also playing on stalker... it's a habit okay)
>>580334556The CNPP assault in radiophobia is pure cancer including more than one instance of you teleporting and facing the wrong direction from a dude with an rpg who immediately fires. Or by putting snorks at the top of a ladder to body block you while under sniper fire.
take your religion politics bitchfest to /pol/ where it fucking belongs.
>>580336654Yeah that's what I've been saying. /sg/ isn't the place for Islamic diarrhea but this mudslime shitskinned faggot cant take a hint.

>>580324110>BBBBUT BUT KIKES!!!Kikes are evil too. Good job, you're on the same level as the fucking hebes.
>>580334260>HL2 pistolExtremely based and incredibly kino
holy shit that gain
>>580337489invest in 3.0
>>580337752I'm gonna short 4.0
Is he ok?
>2 amoks>while under gunfireI am getting levels of mad that may in fact result in me creating another zone.
>>580337489Based
>>580339661.........and an emission hits in the middle of the fight and the giant concrete building doesn't count as cover. No fuck this i'm going to load an older save and wait for the emission to happen and go back in. If I can't do it in a few tries i'm just going to cheat as getting hit once is basically instant death due to the stun effect lasting longer than it takes for one (let alone both) amoks do another attack.
So here is what I expect GSC will do between now and DLC 2-We will get 2-3 major patches that add new story/quest content. Some of it may be pure random stuff(like the Hunter quest), some may be setting up the next DLC(like Stories Untold and Sealed Truths)-DLC 2 will feature Cold Island, as well as the hinted at expansions to Yaniv, Juptier, and Pripyat, adding in the missing areas there-DLC 2 will also probably feature the Corps as a major faction, since they're the last major group without a big role in the story-DLC2 story will probably be about the after effects of the 2nd Caribbean experiment causing issues across the northern parts of the Zone. The Corps get involved since that is they areas they protect.
>>580342919what about after thatwill there ever be dlc 3because they did the whole ultimate edition thing which is supposed to be the last major dlcbut I'd rather they keep improving 2 than idk, start working on stalker 3
>>580343469The ultimate edition pre-order said two STORY DLC, and any future DLC. So they may or may not do a DLC 3. If they do, it wouldn't be story based since they've repeated there will only be two story DLC that form a new trilogy similar to the old one.If DLC 2 is Cold Island + the expansions of Yaniv, Pripyat, and Juptier, the only thing I could see DLC 3 be is just adding in the Sandy Plateau, North of Pripyat, and Korogod Forest as just new areas to explore with some side quests, and no big over arching sotry involved. Since those would be the last 3 areas of the various pre-release dev maps of the Zone that wouldn't be in the game. There areas also didn't have much going on in them i nterms of locations and such, so I could see it working in terms of total content compared to like what we got in Cost of Hope
>>580344568is darkscape in stalker 2no rightcould add dad ass a small side featurebut still I think they should keep fleshing out the game even after dlc 2in 4-5 years it can be greatthe alternative being what, work on some other game?
>>580338859
>>580344815No, Darkscape, Dead City, and the other cut locations from SoC and the like are not canon/don't fit anywhere on the S2 map.
i remember when gunslinger was the big "never ever" thing thats been in dev for yearsnow its just whatever, its in everythingand i kinda got sick of all those long animations ngl now its that new xray engine thing for CoP righthow long until that's out, and will it be integrated to the freeplay mods?
>>580342919Aren't the corps just "dude from CoP makes a militia and tells everyone to fuck off back where they came from pripyat is CLOSED"?
>>580345539Yeah, but Degtyarev does that because he feels like Jupiter/Prypiat are too dangerous for most people, and feels like its his job to protect those areas. If there was some shit going on that was starting to affect those areas, he'd get involved.
Who wrote the loading screen tips? They're written like someone's notes and they mention knowing Clear Sky and also having some compassion for Zombies suggesting you put them to rest when you see them as a mercy.Other than former Clear Sky guys like Nimble, the only other notable stalker that knew them, to my admittedly limited knowledge, is Scar, be the loading screen tips are written too coherently to be that wack job.
>>580346871You're overthinking it.
>>580332273That was the armory in the Cost of Hope lab under CNPP. I don't know what the Duty route is like, but the Freedom fight is fighting Zulu in a dense fog from the cooling system being shot. He's running around with his battle shovel and rushes to beat your ass with it, likely just using Amok AI. Outside of graphical effects like his footstep dust showing over the fog, you can't see anymore than a meter in front of you. Trying to RPG that would be suicide.
it just occurred to me that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. really is about stalking people.>In SoC, the marked one is stalking Strelok, who in turns discovers he is Strelok.>in CS, Scar stalking Strelok.>and in CoP, Major Degtyarev is stalking the Spetsnaz squad.
>>580336654>>580336909Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>580347159Lol the Duty fight is Mavka on a moving platform that shoots at you while you press a few buttons and shoot a few fuses and test tubes, doing damage to Mavka does nothing so having it there is equally as absurd
>>580339661>>580342142That really is one shit ass fucking fight. On like my 5th attempt I finally got into a groove and got lucky that one of them just kind of fucked off so fighting them individually was so much more manageable. It was weird since they both seemed to die shortly after I blew off most of the inhibitors, but hadn't actually finished them off directly. I dashed between those giant tanks, turned around ready to dodge again and... nothing. They died on top of each other.As for the shooter, I just blasted him with my SKS almost blindly as soon as I had some breathing room and he fucks off. Amoks are really some Dark Souls shit that Stalker didn't need.>>580346026I forget where it was, but there was some campfire talk or a log that mentions people that come back from Pripyat seem like they were lost for a year when they had only been there a few days. The place is fucked.>>580347436I dunno, blasting that bitch with a rocket is probably really fucking cathartic.
>>580347853>That really is one shit ass fucking fightThe funny thing is you don't actually need to fight the amoks at all. If you pop otter a few rounds he fucks off and that opens the side door so you can hop up to the next level leaving the amoks behind.
>>580347358Who does skif stalk? His house insurance rep?
has anyone here played Forgotten zone yet? how is it
>>580348851Same anon from last thread but now I'm about 20 hours in to my new save, 2 weeks of in game give or take. Aside from a few minor niggles and bugs and one very weird choice with an AK model, it's one of the best modpacks I've ever played, to the point it feels almost tailor made for me. Progression is pretty carefully maintained, plenty of new quests, new dialogue and new places to see, the AI feels almost like AMK with the who, what and where that can happen. Combat feels more like SOC with time to kill being higher and gunfights being more of an investment. Difficulty can be wonky but I don't mind, depends on who's working where but my Cordon has been brutal, heavy Bandit and Military presence. There's a lot more I could say if I get in to the nitty gritty but I love it, it's the closest a mod has come to feeling like a fresh playthrough and so even though I know the maps, it feels fresh.
>>580345539>>580346026>implying those aren't his ordersI'm pretty sure he did not quit his jobb.
>I have no intention getting involved with you subhumans, please excuse me.
>>580358093Lol. You did save Beard's men first, right?
>>580358093Did the exact same thing. The only one that survived was Mac-10 in the shooting range.Bunch of nutty Bandits.
>>580358741based bandit
>>580358741One day I'll give CS a proper playthrough.
So the hole you rappel down into the lab is where the Wish Granter used to be, right? And the big hole in the ceiling is from SIRCAA when they went to retrieve it?
How is everyone's hoard of artifacts coming along?
The raped male leaves.Also the emission didn't trigger again for some reason, so I guess that's still bugged.
>>580362231Fuck, forgot about the swamps.
>>580362742Now I'll need to do a lot of gun runs so I can upgrade that seva suit from the journalist stash.
>>580362742Swampkino
I miss the useful jank of stacking artefacts past 100% allowing you to repair your armor by bathing in an anomaly.>>580363940Oh good, I'm not the only one that thinks that every time I use a grenade.
>man fuck these ra->>580364489>tfw vibe checked myself
>>580347358Yeah well it really should have been called Stalker and not as in an acronym (they did that shit to avoid copyright lol) and you do really stalk someone in each of them >>580348653Herman in the first act he really did turn out to be a rat according to Faust's ipad
>>580366147>HermanStill thinking of shooting him this time around.
>>580366147>sequel secondary is unable to appreciate series' rootsP.O.T.T.E.R.Y.
>>580366487No you're stalking Faust for stealing that artifact charger from you. You just don't realize it's him until later.
>>580366147>Yeah well it really should have been called Stalker and not as in an acronym (they did that shit to avoid copyright lol)>he doesn't know
>>580348851Not yet, want to finish this CS run first but can only play during the weekends because filthy wage slave. Kinda hyped for it though.
I like Mavka.I think she's cute.Unfortunately for her I'm still siding with Zulu.
>>580369013I'm siding with Freedom because this shit needs to be studied and not destroyed. The Clear Sky guy said he'd rather research it than destroy it, I'd trust his judgement.
>>580369914I'll probably do one ending and then just reload a save to do the next. See what I like best.
>>580370513I'm playing on Master so I have to live with the consequences.
>>580370614RIP, but respect. Well at least it will give you a reason to do a new playthrough. Or seeing as you can only have the one save, you probably get use that to restart, but I'm assuming you won't want to go through it all again. I'll do a Master run when I already know how to do everything. :^)
Been playing too many games with creepy liquids.
>>580371226I had already beaten the game on veteran on release, I was already like 60 hours into this master save I was fucking around on so I decided to do the DLC on it, too. Also, this area at the end of X16 feels like a puzzle to get down to that bottom-most elevator. I have no idea how to get there. The electric balls at the top with the wire anomalies respawn as soon as you shoot them so I can't figure out if there's a specific way to shoot them or if I'm dumb and can't figure out how to get inside that central elevator to get to that bottom doorway. This is infuriating.
Now I need to see what a scratch 6 and 9 look in stalker 2.
Was anyone able to mod in a 4 key system for the quick slots yet?
>>580371549Been trying some googlefu but it seems like no one else has talked about this area. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but these anomalies all up at the top seem too specific to just be put there at random.
I don't feel so good...But I might be okay with not feeling so good.
>>580372628>an AK chambered in .308My shoulder weeps for you.
I thought Mavka would be the only woman in the DLC. Then I met Myklukha.
>>580366236If you shoot him it doesn't matter because later if you take ward path it will turn out he's alive and kicking and that the holohag just made you think you shot him cuz he's important for some reason anyways fuck that asshole
>>580371549>>580372041Maybe I'm too much of a brainlet here. Maybe I'm overthinking this too much. No clue. Giving up. Hope somebody else figures this shit out. Godspeed, fellow stalkers.
>>580372940Oh good to know because last time I kept him alive, and he said something about how he wouldn't have really been killed because he's too important.
Speaking of Myklukha, did any pick the "Duty did it." choice? I'm wondering what he says.
>>580373024I knew he was a pos immediately but the game instructs us to give him the benefit of the doubt, it's only after helping Faust meet his god that we learn that Herman 100% was a rat who told them to whack you
>>580372740Pain is temporary, 308 is permanent.
>>580372992I would look into it myself but I assume this is farther into the DLC and I'm not quiet there yet.
>>580373995Don't bother, I figured it out. Turns out there's nothing there. I was overthinking the shit out of this.
>>580374456Also had to go load the autosave because I GOT STUCK IN THE ROOM YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO GO TO. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
>>580374456Ah, glad you found it out one way or another.
>>580374669Turns out the clapper is fucking amazing. Max damage shotgun. Better than the Texan. Only issue is the ammo capacity. It one shots most anything, put down a bloodsucker with two bodyshots.
Saiga is just too handy, though. Pump action shotguns are what I prefer IRL, though, but mag dumping a chimera is too convenient. Sorry clapper I can't.
Can't decide between 5 containers with 2 being lead, or 4 containers with 3 being lead.
>>580375984More containers are always better. You're going to be using two liquid rocks at all times anyway, right?
>>580376047Once I get two, or even one, anyway.
>>580361541I'm still missing the good ones
>gsc moved the diamon exo into the bunkerNow I really do want to start a master difficulty mode so I can just skip right into Pripyat before they find a way to close that off for good.
>>580369914Duty is never going to destroy the Zone, siding with them is logical vs selling Zone abominations to corpojews like Freedom does
>>580375984I forgot armor actually lets you get all the upgrades.
>>580286145>>580292046>>580307189>>580309748These are amazing, thank you very much Anon. Are there any isometric pics of the Loner base within the Cordon in Clear Sky?

>>580378357Oh and nah, what you see is everything I saved up, the big bois are just larger versions of the ones posted already. I'll double check the date I have them saved at exactly, but doubt the archive goes all the way back to 2017.

>>580413325I wish we could have taken Zulu's battle shovel.
ffffffffuck i'm running out of AK ammo. Now I need to decide if a GP37V2 or a Kharod becomes my main weapon as a replacement as I have thousands of rounds for either of those.
>The black Noontider stole from the othersWhat DID GSC mean by this?
>>580415971You could always buy some.
>>580415971How? The game literally shits it at you, just go kill some Bandits in Garbage
>find out about OXA mod for s2>you NEED to start a new gamemehhhhhhh
>>580416205Absolutely not.>>580416347There's so much blood on my hands I think there are death squads whose only task is to hunt me down. Most enemies only drop 3-10 rounds and even with stash looting i've chewed through probably in excess of 5 thousand rounds in my playthrough so far just with the AKs and other weapons that chamber the same ammo.
>>580394974It is, but at the same time it still retains some "why would you do this" kind of shit that is baffling as still being in the game.To me, the fact that you don't need a good suit to go anomaly diving is a pretty big one. And on the other hand, the resistances you have are capped so low that even when your resistance is maxed you still keep taking damage in the few anomaly fields that have the constant damage effect like Boiler (which I think should be the norm).It bothers me how dogshit the armor upgrades are, because they give you a % increase of the base stat. So if the base stat is shit, it doesn't matter if you increase it by 30%. That will be 10K coupons, thanks.The funniest thing is the scientist suit has a psi upgrade that is a flat +20 resistance instead of 20%, so it can be done.

>>580419224>AchievementsFag.
>>580419326ok
Can I have a proper TL;DR on what exactly does Stalker 2 do differently in terms of A-Life compared to the original trilogy?All I get through google is analmeme faggotry.
REEEEEE
>>580418771>terrorist watch artefact
>>580419386nojust understand there is no a-life
>>580419386A-Life worked differently in each game. In general, there is "online" simulation where NPCs are fully rendered and do shit actively and "offline" that approximates what happens to NPCs. Online bubble is around 150m in OT and 100m in S2.>SoCNPCs only move between maps and only if you're next to their map. No other offline simulation.>CSFaction wars, duh.>CoPNPCs patrol around the map and go back to their homebase at night. NPCs cannot move between maps.>S2As of 2.0, the entire map is simulated offline. NPCs are encouraged to move around from their lairs and seize various points of interest. NPCs can fight and loot corpses while offline.In other words, S2 is closer to CS but not as janky (or as kino if that's what gets you going).
>>580416972No you don't if you just use Standard, Prototype changes way too many things and is absolutely incompatible with any other mod>>580417571Are you going full auto Rambo everywhere? I usually just point fire and semi auto my way through these games so I have large stockpiles at the end>>580418771>Chad gunBased>206 bolts>Only 8 blueprints foundYou need to explore some more my guy
>>580419386not a lot reallyA-life in the original games works by simulating entities, which can be mutants or stalker squads, doing "tasks". Tasks are assigned randomly or specifically depending on the specific spawn. These might involve travelling to and from points of interests like anomaly fields, camps or encounter areas. Entities will then engage in combat, loot random shit off corpses and run a timer until they move on. When you're not in the same map as them, this system runs in the background in a low-processing, non-rendered mode, or "offline", and instead of things happening with entities physically and visibly on the map, it's done by a system of dicerolls. There's persistence in the names and some inventory of the stalkers but anything that you hear on the radio that happened somewhere you can't actually see it is actually just a diceroll event and when you run into the evidence for it, that's the game placing things after the fact to match up to what the diceroll said. Additionally, all maps have a "population" which means the amount of NPCs and mutants that the game wants a map ot have at all times. If it runs under for a period of time there will be new spawns. In certain cases, you will have squads moving in from other maps, but more often than not it's individual NPCs scripted to do that(like Wolf).As far as i know, Stalker 2 does exactly the same, except instead of many maps with these dicerolls happening in very concentrated places it tries to do it in the background of a bubble of online activity around the player, which means you're constantly running into things going online and offline, sometimes very visibly around you. But the fact that it's one map means you're actually having a much larger simulation going on, and the persistence is far larger scale.
>>580420392>>580420838
What a weird choice this quest presents.If you're with Spark it might seem sensible to kill the Ward guys who just appeared out of nowhere and attacked for no reason, but if you're with Ward the Spark side has literally not done anything to you up to that point.
>>580420838>There's persistence in the names and some inventory of the stalkers but anything that you hear on the radio that happened somewherethat wasnt in the original trilogy
>>580421228The first guy is actually telling the truth, the second one is embellishing things because he's played too much Analmeme (or other CoCk forks) and conflates modded A-life with vanilla.
>>580421660Optional means its not my problem :^)
Maybe taking an integral-a to fight faust (for realsies) was not the best choice given the durability of that weapon.
>>580422279I don't know if they can even kill each other until you pick a side.I know this was the case in that one side quest involving bandits and stalker hostages in Zaton, I sat there for a few minutes waiting for one side to win and realized no one is dying.
>>580423712Maybe but for that particular one you may be able to just leave?
>>580391472>chErnobylThe fuckers really can bear the mere idea of Ukrainian identity, can they now?

>>580426536Also I noticed this thing has a unique looking suppressor, even though it uses the standard "Pistol suppressor", but they couldn't be assed to give M10 the correct one.
>>580426919I call it the US and not America because they can suck my dick too.

>from a game that had the most realistic railway elements in history of games to thisThis is on the level of AI slop.
>>580432502never send a soldier or stalker to do the job of a dutyman.
>>580429718Oh, I know exactly why.Same reason why this gun is literally better in every way than the MP5.
>>580432810I pray you never, EVER look at the train tracks in watch dogs 1.
>Side with Ward>trained soldiers walk into shots with zero cover>all get murdered by Stalkers from miles awayNo wonder nothing ever gets done in the zone
>>580432810Actual trainfag autism spotted, nice
>>580432583I know the endings are all shit, but it just seems really fucking silly that the right thing to do isn't to take his hand. He's been blasting you with Controller shit and you've been surrounded by psi-lamps the whole fight, and now all of the sudden his eyes aren't obviously blind? It seems like the perfect bait and switch where the fall is a hallucination and the guy trying to help you up is an illusion over a friend who would help you up, and rejecting them would lead to your death instead of the, "Do the obvious thing and don't accept help for the guy you spent the last few hours gearing up to kill." It should have been a subversion, but it wasn't, or it was subverted subversion.And yeah, whatever, the whole story and bullshit, but just that interaction is fucking dumb.>>580432954Because the Viper-5 is entry level trash so Bandits aren't all sawn off shotguns and pistols? And considering how heavily armored almost everyone in the Zone is, why would SMGs even been considered? I almost miss when the Mp5 was basically the only one and the next step up was a carbine in an intermediate rifle cartridge instead of an SMG that is magically better despite having the same caliber and barrel length.
>>580432987If you look at the train tracks in the base game they have insane detail, one of the artists who worked on the game used to work in railway.I found this video like a year agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awp-GzW6JNIThis shit though is literal copypaste hackjob.
>>580433983Anorak wearing rail fans, tankies and ammo sexual people are three groups I never engage with.
>>580434149And yet here you are
>>580433835SMGs should be a viable choice against mutants, but it takes way too many hits to kill something like a snork.>Because the Viper-5 is entry level trash so Bandits aren't all sawn off shotguns and pistols?In S2 Bandits use way more than just that though.
>>580434417>but it takes way too many hits to kill something like a snork.That is because weapon scaling in stalker 2 is completely fucked and penetration value is essentially the god stat and SMGs have shit penetration. The unique integral-a (the riemann) wipes the floor with every other smg in the game precisely because it has significantly higher penetration despite the same low base damage.
>>580432810In fact, there is a place in the base game that also has this kind of perpendicular rails crossing, and I'm pretty sure it's done correctly there.
>>580434417That's because for some dumb fucking reason mutants also have body armor AND a huge health pool.And for some reason I thought they renamed the Mp5 in 2, so when I said "Viper-5" I thought I was specifically referring to the OG trilogy, but years of mods and/or gun autism and I don't even recognize the made up name for most of the weapons.It is a little silly they have windbreaker clad gopniks with fucking G36s.
>>580434687But mutants no longer have damage resistance out the ass like in 1.0.
>>580434149Based
>>580434741>It is a little silly they have windbreaker clad gopniks with fucking G36s.Sure beats everyone rolling around in exo suits as at least you can justify said gopniks looting corpses and/or stashes.
>Emission in the Cordon>Stalkers rush the Vehicle Station>Slaughter all the bandits>One of them goes to sleep right next to the big window on the second floorFearless motherfucker

Is we getting True Stalker 2.0Is we getting Back To The StalkerIs we getting 1984Is we getting OP-2.2: Convergence
>>580433983Can't believe I actually sat and watched the whole video. Impressive stuff, GSC.
>>580436179The standards are honestly so low that 2 not having any jeets (despite having niggers) has elevated it over tons of games over the last few years
>>580429718>>580433835The Mac-10 is in itself such a weird choice for the zone to begin with. It wasn't used almost at all in Europe and nobody could buy them on the civilian market even on the US after a point, and they're just pocket bullet hoses that lose out to rifles so why would anyone bring them to the zone instead of something else?SMGs that would make sense would be WW2 stuff like Stens, Ppsh41, MP40, which are still here and there in Ukraine, and more modern but cheap euro SMGs like Beretta M12, CZ model 23, Walther MP or maybe some of those croat clones of the UZI. Pick any and they make more sense than the MAC.
I flipped three of these and nothing appears to have happened, is it a part of a later quest? Asking in case this might brick it.
Sorry "Swedish", Sidor pays more
>>580419386the only major difference at this point is that "the bubble" is still retardedly small
>>580438965>150m in originals>100m in S2It was always retardedly small.
>>580439161well a 50% increase is quite a lot but the old games definitely felt different, I had times in the originals where I could watch niggas shooting at eachother through my binoculars, I never see firefights unless Im directly involved in them in 2, and there's no point ever taking up a sniping position (despite there being loads around) because you'll never see anyone/thing through your scope either

Flashlight mods?"Powerful Bright Flashlight" is practically an industrial floodlight but vanilla is barely a candle
>>580440781I've been using this since 2.0 came out and it fits just right https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1447
>>580440781The vanilla one is much more effective in HDR. Not just because it can but bright but more importantly the environment can get darker.
Not so tough when someone puts a round of .308 through your skull huh
>>580440781Which game are you talking about? There are few places in S2 where you'd even notice a stronger flashlight.
>>580441514I saw this but apparently it breaks some doors or something in the dlc and I'm apprehensive because my last S2 run when the game released was cut short because I couldn't get in the door to malachite
Holy kino, I was saying even before the game came out that they needed to have heavy fog in it.
>>580438965>>580439161>>580439409You can still get some fun every now and then, specially after SIRCAA since by then all the factions will be out in the open looking for blood. But yeah the online bubble needs to be larger (they datamined a new setting for it up to 200m) but that comes with the obvious downside of a massive performance hit unless they LOD the absolute shit out of everything making it look bad (I'm talking about the models of the characters themselves.)
>>580441907Haven't had any issues on my side but there's also https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/221 that I used before this one and it got updated recently for 2.0. It's really powerful but you have to spelunk the settings a bit to get something you like without making yourself into a beacon.
>>580441812I just have bad eyesight
was there always a poltergeist at the sphere?
>>580442146The lods aren't really the problem as that is a gpu thing. What has been killing performance in stalker is the npc simulation on the cpu side which is why they kept it at 100m so everyone using 8 year old cpus don't start a housefire.
>>580443102The new slider setting that was found in the files comes with a description that raising it to 200 (the new max) bring stability issues, which was documented by Shay when he/she/it/xhim was working on Distant Horizons and why that mod is locked at 139m. I think the engine itself is at fault here.
>>580442463Maybe your brightness/color settings are off?
>>580439161The maps in OT were designed with this limitation in mind in terms of lines of sight.>>580440442Yeah, I think I've come across exactly one as well.Can't agree with this guy though >>580439409I often encounter firefights that are 50+ meters away.Speaking of which, they really improved the audio, it no longer sounds like there's a fight happening behind the nearest tree, there's proper echo and dampening on sound when you're indoors.

>>580458325what's so peak about it? it plays like a buggy, unstable modpack.
>>580319071There is some aspect to weapon feel when you're playing in VR, for example it's way easier to point and hip fire a silenced AK without optics than it is to hip fire a silenced AR because an AK has an outline that lends itself to being pointed. It really doesn't work in a 2d game though. You guys should really try the anomaly VR mod sometime with a cheap headset.
>>580459196You need to remember in the stalker community how well a mod is received is inverse to its stability.
>>580460097believe me, the stability is the least of its issues.
>>580460097That's true, ZoA was always my favorite SoC mod.
Radiophobia is great - it would crash every time I went back to the agroprom underground after i'd passed through it as the main quest demanded.
I told my friend to try out stalker, but it's been so long since I played them I actually don't know what's best to install nowadays, what should I tell him? Old games with bugfixes? Enhanced editions?

>>580466327You could've held back on that post... you're too strong...
You know something is amiss in stalker 2 when - on the higher difficulties especially - the most dangerous mutants in the game are....the rat swarms. They will delete your health faster than any chimera, snork horde or pseudogiant ever will.
>>580467183I hate those bastards
The enhanced editions really should have been something more radical than mediocre graphical upgrades and engine updates that didn't make the games any more playable than they were. GSC should have gone full RMA on it. re-add all the cut content. Make unsuspecting normies who have no fucking idea what's going on go through the Darkscape sequence and the Dead City prison escape. Reactivate all the unused and unfinished weapons. Retroactively add the Tark/deer mutants, cats, Izloms, etc. Restore the entirety of the Sin faction and storyline and let us in on all the secret lore.
>>580467245I got killed by a pack that clipped through a locked door and ate my ankles as I stood there.
>>580466230I followed the meme advice that it was bad and I basically did a "speedrun". Still took me like 20 hours, so maybe not much of one. And man was that a mistake. Little did I know that you're suppose to join in on faction wars to get better guns. It was hell going through that game until you get to some military base. And then it was still hell. One day I'll give it a proper playthrough.
>>580467183I don't even know if they even look mutated. As far as I can tell it's just a pack of rats. These things could probably kill a chimera if they wanted.
Is stalker 2 good yet?
My God DSH is fucking awful. Three restarts until I got a start where I didn't instantly get raped by a flesh, found a Flash which took me back down to barely alive, and then I get raped by a pseudodog every time I try to go south because I can't get to the 9x18 box in time and didn't stick with Stargazer. Easy to forget how bad these autistic cortnuke mods really are.
>>580461303I knew I saved this for a reason. Had such a love/hate relation with ZoA back then.
>>580468968>cortnukeWhat does this word mean, anon?
>>580470860Cortisol nuke. Fucking nuuuking me with stress hormones without giving me any valuable experiences in return because these mods are shit.
>>580470760>pause the game and press F4. (If you press F4 more than once the game will crash)
>>580449597OH FUCK>>580452227Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough.>>580459008>>580459119I think it was during the second assault on the Duga as a Sparker someone joked about bringing a flamethrower. Incendiary weapons would be fucking sweet. >>580466289>>580466327Clear Sky is the cold pizza of the series. Not as good, but it's still pizza, I mean STALKER so it's still a good game.>>580467245>>580467380I think the Burer you're directed to by Gonta for his hunting quest, there's locked train cars in the lair. One of them has a rat swarm that chunked my health and almost killed by the fucking second I knifed the lock. Since they're a bunch of fucking rats good luck dealing with them if you don't have grenades or a good way to funnel them into the blast. Would really be a good use for incendiaries if they ever added them.>>580444219
>>580473713>there's locked train cars in the lair. One of them has a rat swarmThat one actually spooked me. Then it turned into anger in the same second. Fuck those rats.
So here's where it all started, at the Heart of Chernobyl.
>>580473713>Incendiary weapons would be fucking sweet.It's almost weird they're not in to some capacity, at least some kind of molotov cocktail throwables sounds perfectly in line with what you'd expect in the zone. Improvised explosives in general, makeshift hand grenades made of empty energy drink cans with gunpowder and nails, IEDs and demo charges made with repurposed RPG warheads, mines and mortar rounds stolen from the military, etc. The zone is a lawless place where someone fucking around with explosives could become very popular and sought after for his services.
>guy at slag heap says he has a job for me>talk to him>all i get is asking what's new around the zoneAnyone know how to fix this? It's the Zakhar guy who gives you Big Score.
I feel like if I'm close enough to look at it I'm going to die of cancer.
>>580475596Zulu...
Paying my respects.>>580475705Nah that's some dead dutyer zombie from SOC.
>>580475757Oh kek.>imageNeat!
>>580468968Did you check the farm and the attic in the house across the street for supplies? If you stick close to Stargazer and head to the attic you should be able to grab some 9x18 ammo pretty quick. There should also be a Tokarev in the truck at the northern exit of the electro tunnel.
Holy fuck how many radiant quests and mutant orders do I have to do at Malachite before it becomes green?! Or do I just need to finally do SIRCAA before it will?
>>580475606Not to mention some of the crazy shit artifacts could probably do. Most of the thermal ones burn extremely hot, some chemical one has spikes that cause wounds that are hard to treat, or one of the electric one that makes electric powder. Imagine the dirty bombs you could make with shit like that.>>580476458They're weird. I was green, twice, but somehow lost their favor. I swear I haven't killed or wounded any of their guys. I really wish there was a functional Factions tab. The mods that add it sound janky as fuck.
All right boys, should I do master on stalker 2 or should I pussy out by doing custom and disabling expedition mode?
>>580476758Your call but I died after the tram ride from Rostok and have to do all that shit to get above ground at the CNPP again, so I lost like an hour of my life.
>>580476635>They're weird. I was green, twice, but somehow lost their favor.Did you side with Spark or Ward? I looked at my old save where I sided with Ward and they're green. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
>>580477157Yeah I'm not really looking forward to that with Master. If I do custom I might even make the economy easier as well. It feels like cheating, but I was going to sneak into Pripyat early anyway. I'm also not one of those people who really want to make the game extra challenging, but it sounds kinda fun.
>>580466289>>580466327>>580473713I will never understand why CoP has a better reputation than CS. Sure, it's a lot more polished and basically never crashes, but overall most mechanics hailed as "new" CS did first. Yes, including the larger maps. Aside from optimisations CoP had the worst plot in the series. Oh, you know that whole big mistery the whole game keeps pushing for? It's just that anomalies move after an emission, LMAO. Oh, you thought it would build on the lore from the first two games? Tough shit, here's a cameo of Strelok.
What the fuck, I'm pretty sure this event should not happen before SIRCAA.
>>580478329It's almost like no one plays these atmospheric open world shooters for the 'story'.
>>580479250Is this a DLC event? It seems like completing the first part of the DLC has the same trigger for certain areas as doing the SIRCAA quest had in base game.
>>580479671Don't care for the story, go play fucking Tarkov or something.
>>580478329Honest reason: CS was such a mess on release that most people couldn't even leave the Swamp, let alone experience the new feature it has added. It also leaned far to much into action shooter territory.
>>580479821Completely agree it was a mess a launch, I was there. And yet still say it was better than CoP. At first, like everyone really, was pretty wow'd by CoP, but as I got to the ending, it landed like a wet fart.
>>580480034Subjective, I personally don't care too much about the story in any of the OGs - it has always been just an excuse to get you going around the Zone. What was great about CoP is immersive exploration at your own pace.
Something about the glass water bottles makes them seem really refreshing.>>580478329CoP stood on the shoulders of CS and reached higher. I'm in no way saying CS is bad, it's just a very close third.>>580479695Yeah, Cost of Hope added that. I got a weird audio glitch when it happened to me, sounded like voices and anomaly sounds were muffled, distant, and/or corrupted millennia-era video glitched. I just thought it was because I was talking to them from just outside the door so they had the muffed effect from being inside, but everything else also sounded like shit. Only seems to happen if I have something playing on my second monitor, but hasn't happened in a while.
Unfathomably based
Snorks spawn too much in Stalker 2.
>Get rid of Dynamic Weather Overhaul>fps jumps to 200>Can now see>No more perma-overcast shitYeah sometimes mods aren't the answer
>>580482039>strolling around Iron Forest>some loner guys walk by>suddenly eight fucking snorks come out of a nearby building
Daily reminder to bully all Burers, with bullets
>>580486610and/or grenades
>>580476429Can't get the pseudodog to reach either of those, it pulls aggro no matte what. Getting at least one artifact out of the Cordon before they all get deleted seems like it's going to be extremely important, the Flash spawning to the right of where you wake up seems like a 1-in-100 RNG roll which is too good to throw away. Anyway, I don't want to play that stupid shit anymore, hope I go another year and a half without touching the desktop shortcut for this trash.
>>580479816>wonders why anomaly and gamma are so popular
>>580486610Only reason I carry 9x18 ammo is so I can use skif's pistol to mag dump these motherfuckers.
Does Cost of Hope add any new sidequests to the main map?
>>580491763Haven't gone down the Gamma rabbit hole yet but Anomaly at least tries to give you a story of sorts to dick around with. Are you seriously >implying you only play Stalker for the gunplay alone?

Clear Sky is a more interesting and generally more engaging videogame than Call of Pripyat is. Fuck you all.
Call of Pripyat is a more interesting and generally more engaging videogame than Clear Sky is. Love you all.
I still remember the first time I launched CoP. The very first quest asks you to find an artifact in some abandoned ship. And once you get it, a bunch of stalkers asks you to give the artifact to them to help their injured friend. I was always playing good person in games, so I gave them the artifact. And once I returned to the base I saw them sell the the artifact to the barkeeper.Holy fucking TECHNOLOGY. You had the choice with a fucking outcome, and it was not some cutscene, it was all played in real time. I was so impressed by that. Your shitty Clear Sky had nothing like that.
Clear Sky? more like... Cringe Sky...
Been checking out STALZONE (formerly STALCRAFT) on good recommendation recently. It's quaint as a highly economical product, and feels like a charming work of genuine appreciation (at least on the level of a 'fan') for the source material; you can't give the benefit of the doubt for something like Arena Chinkout: Infinite being anything more than a brazen scam in the way that you, or at least I, could for STALZONE. You can tell exactly which aspects of the game got the most money diverted towards them during development, without the game feeling like an early-access foreverdev asset flip. I wish them success, hope they make a billion dollars off of 12 year olds buying Waffen-SS camouflage patterns for their stahlhelm exoskeleton niggas. ZOV but also No More Brother Wars
>>580511451So that's what happens when you take the psi-helmet off.
What the fuck happened to the transition after an emission? It now happens in like 3 seconds, It wasn't like this in 1.0.
I made a mod. I think it's cool. https://www.nexusmods.com/stalkeranomaly/mods/140
>>580516445But you already can change factions in Anomaly.
>>580516829It's severely limited. I don't see why a soldier couldn't just go AWOL, take off his uniform and become another loner wandering the zone
>>580517436because fuck you thats why
Dude please, without spoilering me anything, tell me if the Zone actually opens up a little after finding Squint in the windmill.Everywhere I go in the Lesser Zone it's just gates and barricades.I just wanted to explore a little before going full in with the main quest.You could do that in the trilogy, god fucking damn it.
>>580516445I think that's called desertion, Anon.
>>580516445i dont play analmeme anymore, but i have downloaded the mod and i will endorse it later :)the only question is, why did you use AI to make a mod, anon?
>>580526068A little after that I think, yeah. Just focus on the main quest until you get the task to go to Garbage. As soon as that happens, almost the entire Zone is open to you.
>>580505009That's good to hear. I really should go through CoH already.
>>580412650Yeah MEGA is a great option.I feel stupid for not mentioning that sooner!

>200 fixes in this patch>But you have to murderize your SSD unpacking this whole fucking game againT-thanks GSC!

>>580534437Mobile edition
Is stalker 2 finally good nowIs everything still an insufferable bullet sponge?
>S2 patchnotesIs this the codelock inside Limansk spatial bubble?There was a codelock with 4 digits which you were forced to open to progress. There were crossed out numbers written on the wall as if someone was bruteforcing the combination. Those numbers gave you the first 3 digits, and you had to bruteforce the last one, it's only 10 possible combinations.If that's the puzzle they have changed, then I am disappointed in stalker modern playerbase.
>>580534017>he doesn't have 400GB free on his 4TB M.2 SSD he bought right before they went up tenfold in priceLol poorfag!Just kidding, silver lining is that at least they're not releasing patches for every little thing every few days like before. Coming home from work and having to wait 30-40 minutes to reinstall the game because of the stupid packaging system was pissing me off.
>>580535137That sounds like stupid modshit. Does anybody find brute forcing code solutions to be a gratifying activity?
>>580534017>Increased durability of the Guardian shotgun during the bossfight with ZuluI was just talking about how that was jammed from the fight until I left Yanov with it to hunt some mutants.>>580535137There were 3 that I know of. One is fairly early on and you have to go through a weird, small apartment that a door on the first floor leads you to the roof. On the roof you can see 4 numbers on the chimneys that unlock a side door around the part with the Snipers.The next one is in a side area where you enter a little courtyard, there's a series of short jumps up to a door and the code is literally right behind you, the number plate of an upside down car hanging behind you.Then that one that's mission critical. I'm guessing they changed it so he stops at whatever8 instead of 6 since the code ends with a 9.
>>580535134Pls respond guysI don't want to waste my time if it still sucks and I don't trust anyone else
>8gb update>breaks all modsREEEEEEEEEE
>>580535134Yes with nofog mod and some minor qol mods
Got to the infamous "2 Amoks 1 Skif" fight people were talking about last night. I was only on Veteran but honestly didn't find it too bad considering the guy shooting at you isn't that accurate and doesn't do nearly as much damage as the amoks. Most annoying part was the random death pit which caused more deaths than anything from trying to space the notFleshpounds out.
wasnt strelok the guy you play as in soc
>>580534580Yeah it pings home with all your information so they can get advertiser money. You're a retard if you don't turn off this option in every game that has it. Turning it off probably does nothing and they still send the information.>>580536053No, you play as the Marked One
>>580535881Anything to fix the bullet sponge enemies?
>>580536282Play on rookie lil bro
>>580536373Yeah but see the enemies should also be deadly like the playerI can't stand this shit where bullets hit like airsoft guns
>>580535715>bullet spongeJust use shotguns against mutants. Bloodsuckers die in 4 shotgun shots, spsa-14 can kill them in less than a second. You can easily burst burers before they use their shields.I swear that everyone complaining about bullet sponge enemies uses AR to kill mutants instead of shotguns.
>>580536282There's the new Custom difficulty that lets you adjust and there's a gorillion mods that reduce HP bloat. And in case you must know, the problem was never really the HP, it was the armor system that they fucked up the numbers for, and have since fixed.
>>580536676>>580536716I played on day one and I was badly burned by the game, biggest disappointment of my life. I guess I'll give it another goAnd yeah, a rifle should actually kill a mutant pretty well, and not in 50 shots or whatever
Any good recent CoP mods?
Son of a bitch! First time I finish CS with SRP and find out there's a free Zone post ending. Well shit!
>>580536282mods
>>580535481I remember playing a pirated russian copy of Silent Hill 2 as a kid. The game was translated by the pirates, and they fucked up one of the puzzles in the hospital. You were supposed to investigate a typewriter, and it would give you the code, but the text was completely missing in the pirated version. The codes are randomised in SH2 so I couldn't even look for solution (and I didn't have internet back then anyway). I brute forced the 4-digit code, and I was very happy I finished the game.

I shouldn't buy an nvidia gpu because they don't work well on linux. It allegedly has been getting better recently but I don't think I like the green jew anyway. Not that the red jew is much better.
"I like the way this sucks"
Out fucking skilled
>>580548193That is such a bullshit spawn.
>>580543201I haven't had a crash on AMD in 2 days after turning off anti lag and reducing my max clock by 250MHz.I went to check the card specs and found this>GPU clock>up to 2740MHz(Game)1>up to 3310MHz(Boost)2And below it says this>2Boost Clock is the maximum frequency achievable on the GPU running a burstyworkload. Boost clock achievability, frequency, and sustainability will vary based on several factors, including but not limited to:thermal conditions and variation in applications and workloads.I assume the UE just does something that makes the card run at max boost speed for prolonged time that causes instability.I will never buy another nvdiia product BTW and if you do you don't get to complain about hardware prices or games being AI slop.
is it cheating to use the preorder stuff?
>>580548656I forgot to say that this is an OC model so the max clocks are higher than reference.
>>580548698Nah, most of the stuff is just a fancy skin on regular weapons and armour. The SSP-100M can be kinda cheating to a point as it is equivalent to the discovery and you can get it straight out of the lesser zone if you are brave but at the same time as a high tier suit repair costs will eat you alive early on.

>>580548698No, they're just reskins. If you rush them it could be considered cheesing but you can also just rush other stuff like the Malachite suit/gun so w/e. At that point the real question is "am I a faggot for metagaming or do I progress normally through a game?"

>>580555459Don't forget the approach at the start requires wading through water - the ONE THING the entire dlc (and base game to a pint) has told you is instant death.

>>580559040Do I look homosexual?
>>580509946They killed you if you said no, the pro move was to sneak to the door and open fire before they could start the dialogue.
>>580561082Yeah because you're playing on the meme difficulty like a modbrained FAGGOT instead of the reasonable one
Is there an accurate spreadsheet or something somewhere of the weapon stats in stalker 2? I would like to see what the actual penetration and damage values are.
I think the DLC Mediator quest is bugged, if you choose the option to give the hostage to Duty the quest status does not update and just fails if you move away.I would assume if it's a dialogue option it should be reflected in the journal somehow.
I'm not a Clear Sky hater but was there an NPC that you have to get drunk with to get on their side? Just realized this was a recurring trend with Chef, Zulu, and the Controller scientist guy in 2.
>>580562742The dlc is riddled with bugs as far as I can tell.
>>580471782Oh yeah, I tried DSH for like a few hours and dropped that shit so quickly. NLC is barely tolerable, but DSH is simply not worth the hassle.
>>580563251Well I don't know, I guess I will save this quest for later and send a support ticket. Seems like an awkward scripting thing, I would assume there would be some kind of acknowledgement from Duty at least.
>>580555459Skill issue.>Decoy artifactsLiterally ignore them, the real one is at the end sitting by itself.
Why did they decide to turn Major Pterodactyl into an angry asshole, when he has the most diplomatic options out of all the protagonists in CoP?
>>580565802He's still a crayon eater at the end of the day and being an asshole in general is the easiest way to go about life
hey skifcan you carry these collars for the rest of the game? they weigh 0.2kg each and you can't store themthanks
Huh, no wonder I didn't remember this location being in S2, it literally wasn't.
>>580568428Yeah, its the Cooling Towers from Call of Pripyat.
>>580568428>>580569079They also added a land bridge across the swamps in Zaton to run straight to SIRCAA from the hunter's lodge instead of running all the way around the lake.
>>580569079It's not even marked on the map, is there anything there?Also, I never understood how this thing was a cooling tower. It's not a tower. And why does it only have a quarter of a circle of that funnel like structure?
>>580570032>It's not even marked on the map, is there anything there?Its used in the Cost of Hope storyline.
BTW have they added anything related to the mercs that keep captured mutants in a few locations in any update?That always seemed like some cut content to me.
same
Hell yeah I'm G.O.T.HGobblin'OnTheseHotdogs>>580567129That's Skif who's a marine. Deggy is in the secret police. He's a yellow and blue KGB glowie.
>Fixed the absence of Boroda and Sultan at the Skadovsk after the end of Three Captains mission.>BorodaBeard's name has been Boroda? Is that just their word for beard? And good because they have been missing from my game.

>>580565802Government spook, duh.

>>580576864I'm only on stalker and they still just love spawning a group snorks anywhere I go. Ran into a group of three bloodsuckers, and then a group of like 3-5 psi dogs that I couldn't even tell there was multiple of them until I killed one and the threat indicator was still red.
I got smacked so hard by a poltergeist I flew 50 feet up onto the top level across the fucking reactor chambers.
>>580579685Turns out there were three of them in the chamber. No wonder I had trouble.
I think I'm being haunted by telephones. Every time I run past one they keep moving. I saw one fly off a desk earlier like I hit it but I never touched it.
>>580579148>Bloodsucker Tentacles: ~15>Blind Dog noses: ~20>Rodent Paws: ~10>Snork Vertebra: ~80There are definitely too many fucking Snorks.>>580579685>>580580227That part really sucked. Poltergeists in general are so much more annoying for some reason. Sometimes you get lucky and they go down super easy, like I got one with a single extended 1911 mag, went down so fast I was confused. Then another I emptied a drum from a G3 in short controlled bursts and the invisible fucker was still chucking exploding barrels at me.They vibrate through bullets or something.And ones in tight spaces, like that one in the cluttered warehouse out back from the Brain Scorcher? Holy fuck that one is a real asshole because you're guaranteed to get a ton of contact damage from him unless you want to plink at him from outside for half an hour waiting for him to jet by the door.I might upgrade them to my "This is why I carry a grenade launcher" list like Burers. >>580581549A very tiny poltergeist is haunting you.
>>580582261Yeah I have more snork vertebras than any other mutant part. Though not quite that much more.
>>580582261>Sometimes you get lucky and they go down super easy, like I got one with a single extended 1911 mag, went down so fast I was confused. Then another I emptied a drum from a G3 in short controlled bursts and the invisible fucker was still chucking exploding barrels at me.They vibrate through bullets or something.I feel like they give some mutants more or less health depending on the situation/quest. Or maybe some of the new variants have different stats other than just being a shiny mutant.
>>580582261I think poltergeists probably have intentionally weird hitboxes when they're invisible. That's why shotguns work so fucking effectively point blank against them because of the spread the buckshot has. I can kill one in like five shots with the saiga when I'm spraying.
This guy. I'm curious. Does he become less of an asshole if you side with Duty in CoH?
Can't decide on weight reduction or wear and tear reduction.
>>580591003Wear and Tear. Just use Weird Water and do the entire game in canon mode for weight.
>>580554436I know I'm late to the reply party but: - It only appears in the direction you're moving, meaning you want to zig zag and bait it- As soon as you see or hear it you move the opposite direction- Never run or you'll eat one in front- Download the mod that makes it not trigger if you crouch walk>>580591003Weight Reduction only matters for things that save you 1+ kg, otherwise Wear and Tear will save you more money in the end.
I really need to get the weird water just for loot runs - does it still have a habit of spawning out of bounds?>>580576864Now that is a true stalkan experience.
Honestly I think Vikky at malachite is funding my gun collection - she pays out so much for mutant parts i'm dropping serious coupons on weapon upgrades just for the fun of using a gun.
>>580576864
>find a bandit with 14 bottles of beer on his bodyWell I guess I know what killed him.
I am fucking begging you mod dev, please update Cigarettes for STALKER 2, I can't fucking play without it.
>>580600571>t. solid snake
It is time to say goodbye to my fancy scientist suit and do the few main missions ahead of me that will let me get the diamond exo suit. I have been served well but now I need to go god of death mode.
>>580601024I'll take that as a compliment, thanks anon.
In regards to duty and freedom in clear sky do I have to join one of them in order to receive side quests? I'm able to help out stalkers and clear sky while remaining neutral but can't help duty or freedom at all.
soooo did the update break all mods AGAIN or what
>NPC Weapon Attachments not working anymoreFUC KSAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Vikky pays more for mutant parts than Honta does right? Assuming you are using their dialogue and not regular trading.
Post em80% not working since last Update reeee
>>580603926That's the fault of the mod creator for doing some hacky shit with UE4SS to get it working>>580604207All my mods sans the above mentioned one work just fine
>>580604078much more. honta pays just over 9k for 2 chimera ears, vikki pays over 50k

Were falling stars in the sky a thing in 1.0? I don't remember.
I will never call it sultansk and will do everything in my power to ruin sultan's day.
>>580609272Now I believe that is a newer addition. I found it neat when I first saw one.
>>580602662There's a few side quests per faction, but you can only get one at a time. I don't remember if there were any prerequisites to be able to take them, might be main story related.
>>580562368implying anyone gives a shit about this game enough to do that shit
>>580595642I got it on first try this run.>>580608020I think he's talking about the lights anomaly.
Drunken stalker sessions are a criminal amount of fun.
>>580611057The first time I got drunk was while playing STALKER.>Home from college for summer break>Playing SHoC on laptop at kitchen table>It's 3am>I get retarded idea>Every time I drink vodka in game, I drink IRL>Take giant 3oz swallows every time>Clear a bottle of Stolichnaya in 15 minutes>Start to feel it, realize what I've done>text best friend and tell him what I just did and if I'm gonna die>He says to get on the floor and wait for the ride to start>open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur>It all hits me all at once>By the Monolith>Wake up in my bed, rotated 90 degrees from pillow end>Trash can is full of chili vomit from dinner>I still have a baked bean lodged in one nostril>5/10 didn't die>Can't drink vodka anymore
