>>1000692 I forgot Stalkan 2 was in development. I take it was relegated into being a standard action game instead of being comfy slavjank survival?
>>1000692 I don't know if I should blame Putin or Zelenskyy, but either way I feel sorry for russian 2channel as this is their favorite game.
>>1000701 You missed >3 hours of cutscenes Remember when Rogue Squadron 2's devs apologized in the commentary for having a single, skipable, 1 minute 30 second long cutscene mid-level?
>>1000692 This game was delayed to insert as much Ukrop propaganda as they can into the game. They probably removed entire sections of the game to put their own spin on it.
>>1000714 >t. Kursk mud farmer
I wonder when the mission to execute Gonzalo Lira will happen, hopefully not too late into the game.
>>1000728 >that name sounds familiar <search >oh, it's that Coach Redpill guy from like ten years ago >he went to Ukraine? >HE'S FUCKING DEAD What you get for moving to an active warzone I guess. I remember this guy being pretty put together back in the day, very clean shaven with a nice suit, why does he look homeless in his last photos
>>1000732 He is a sex tourist who went to Ukraine to try and pick up chicks. When the war broke out he naturally did a lot of bullshit propaganda talking about how Ukraine was going to lose. Naturally Ukraine didn't like this so they gave him the choice of house arrest or getting deported. He chose house arrest. Later he tried fleeing the country into belarus only to be put into prison. Ended up dying of pneumonia after refusing medical help. Allegedly he also smoked like 4 packs a cigarettes a day. I am happy he is gone. Dude was a grifter and a snake and the world is better off without him. I didn't watch him back when he was coach redpill but I do remember seeing some chatlogs between him and sargon. Something to the effect of "truth is a tool to be wielded by the strong". Couldn't tell you why he started looking like he leers at little kids though.
>>1000720 I'm a 90's yugo rapefugee in a third world country. I literally don't have a dog in the fight.
>>1000732 Westoids brutally killed the most influential thinker of our time... hypocritical Biden regime says nothing... God-Boyar Vladimir Vladimirovich must put an end to the degenerate globohomo Ukronazis... >>1000736 It's funnier than that. He was found doing illegal activities like selling photographs of military bases he took along spreading pro-Kremlin agiprop, he got deported instead of being properly trialed. He then illegally went BACK INTO UKRAINE, literally filming himself doing so. They threw him in prison where he "died of lung issues".

>>1000741 I find it funny that in this war, multiple cases of complete lolcows trying to be spies and ending up locked up have happened, i wonder how common that was back before the internet.
>>1000736 I am not shitting you guys, at the risk of doxing myself, that I can back up your post because I knew by secondhand relation a lolcow journo who signed onto being a Sputnik host who cried when this dumbass died, and he ALSO had a similar character to being a sleazy old man sex tourist down to wasting his 9k a month salary on hookers, having rotten his teeth out on meth that he had to get implants for, and being divorced from a sex worker and whore. I can totally buy this. <Couldn't tell you why he started looking like he leers at little kids. America this year and previous has been revealed to be infested with and crawling with pedophiles.

>>1000692 Absolute fucking state of STALKER. >>1000736 >>1000741 >>1000784 Now the funniest thing is that they could have expelled him and made him Biden's problem. But they chose to make an example and harvest his organs. And billions are still sent to that corrupt shithole with Uniparty support.
>>1000900 They DID expel him, he re-entered the country for some demented reason
>>1000903 >They DID expel him, he re-entered the country for some demented reason BUT they didn't push him out to be extradited to the US under house arrest. The War must go on and lucky for Zelensky and the Ukraine Government, every MSM rag called him a "Sexist PUA Russian Paid Agitator" who got what he deserved when they gulag'd his ass. So there's no bad PR for that fucking retarded war. Biden washed his hands or barely remembers, and everyone forgot he existed. Coach Dead Pill indeed.
>>1000905 >guy was caught spying for the enemy >re-enters the country after being expulsed >no but he should have been extradited! Anon youre such a fucking hypocrite holy shit.
>>1000905 I can barely tell what you're trying to say, but okay.
>>1000907 >>1000909 It seems to be retarded.
The game looks fine, the issue is that the deep dive did a mediocre job at showing off the game. This video is a much better showcase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5TmiZUOosE&t=176s
>>1001460 The sound design in on point.
>>1001724 >inb4 Zelensky wants to make a new Zone at Kursk But can he do it before the Russians capture Pokrovsk and Germanize Ukrainian logistics?
>>1001724 Who are you quoting?
>>1001724 Half agree, you do see some of that rhetoric but then they're immediately told to fuck off like 59a203 was. I'm surprised how anons have largely held off against Pussian propaganda with how hard basically every mildly right leaning community started guzzling gallons of Pussian semen. >two more weeks bratan I am of seriousness all of HATO will be destroyed you must be of trusting in the plan t. Mikovich of Khalifornya Oblast
>>1001460 Nope, the visual and sound design is still mediocre.
>>1001460 Bretty good actually. Is there any word on it being moddable though?
>>1001837 Mod support few days post launch has been confirmed
>>1001863 In other words, never. Why are you believing people who lie for a living?
>>1001875 >who lie for a living? What?
>>1001877 It's marketing. Until a product is released with the features advertised, they're lies.
>>1001879 Not lies, thats not how it works, what they arent is guarantees, stop being retarded.
(4.30 MB 640x360 Bill Hicks on Marketing.mp4)

>>1001882 Marketers are just liars trapped in a box. They can't outright false advertise, but they make their living on half-truths, false inferences, assertion, associations, double-speak, and other forms of manipulation. They are liars. Lots of stories have come out from studios that used to work with Microsoft about how MS would internally commission a specific and well defined game, and then MS's marketers would go out to pressers and just start pulling all kinds of random shit out of their asses - which the dev teams were expected to then accommodate without any extra budget or development time. It's why Phantom Dust had such a fucked up development cycle and tanked the studio. What's even worse is that they routinely work with mainstream media news outlets to spread those lies disguised as news. You'd be amazed how many news stories about a product being released, or recalled, are just paid product advertising or corporate attack ads. Never believe a marketer. Their job is literally to bullshit you, telling you whatever you want to hear, so long as you hand your money over to their employers.
>>1001953 To say something is a lie, you have to prove its false, and as it stands, you cant prove that, words have a meaning, you know?
>>1001987 There are myriad ways to lie without actually saying anything false. There are also ways to reveal truth while only speaking falsehoods. The spaces inbetween are the natural habitat of the marketer and statistician.
>>1002273 >myriad of ways Making a promise doesn't count until it has been confirmed broken.
>>1002297 You are exactly the kind of niggercattle moron who deserves a bullet in the back of the head and an open ditch as a grave.
>>1001879 >>1001882 >>1002273 >>1002297 Nigger we're asking about modding capability, not philosophy about what counts as promise and lie. So far they've said it'll have modding but being an xbone first product + how easy is it to modify remains a question. Which can only be revealed once you actually get your hands on the game

>>1000732 So I have to ask, what does this hobo have to do with STALKER 2 that 80% of the thread is talking about him?
>>1025423 How? It crashes all the damned time.
>>1025560 That has nothing to do with S.T.A.L.K.E.R arriving on the Switch, that has to do with S.T.A.L.K.E.R being unstable.
>>1025567 has to do with "stalker is shit"

What mods are anons getting into lately? I know Anomaly bullshit is the current flavor of the month more like the flavor of the last couple years but I'm curious as to any others you guys have tried. I've been getting back into STALKER because it's spooky season and I like playing something STALKER related in October. I first tried Path in the Mist and I'll say that the story was excellent from what I played but it was so fucking scripted with absolutely zero freedom/exploration that I dropped it by the time I got to the Garbage. However, I decided to give Radiophobia 3 a spin and I'm damn impressed so far. https://www.moddb.com/mods/radiophobia It's the vanilla SoC quests/plot, but on the OGSR engine with a bunch of new side quests, more guns, more dialogue, very vanilla lore-friendly so far anyway and very drastically revamped combat. I'm playing on the second highest difficulty because I was wary of "muh realism" bullshit with this mod but I'm happy to say it's some pretty damn good modern STALKAN'. The economy on this difficulty is pretty oppressive, not quite GAYMMA levels (which is good) but it really makes you consider what you trade with that jew Sidorovich. I'm not even out of Agroprom yet, still gotta fuck up the military base and steal the documents but the gunplay is fucking fantastic so far. I think I'm gonna have to edit one of the config files to really tailor the difficulty to my tastes because at this point I want the enemy NPCs to be a little more accurate with their shots but I also want the economy to be a bit more forgiving. 1.3k Rubles for bottled water is kind of ridiculous considering how often you get thirsty in this mod. Might have to play around with it a bit but so far I'd highly recommend this mod. I'd also recommend that you install the vanilla NPC mesh/textures included in the main files of the download page because the shitty "HD" models that the mod includes by default are so not STALKER that they really bother me. >>1025574 Spoken like a true newfag. If you've never gotten the "true" ending in SoC you either need to give up the idea that you're a gamer or kill yourself, there's no other options.

This thread is a fucking disgrace. It's one thing for stuff to get this bad on cuckchan but it's going on even here.
>>1034624 You're part of the problem
>>1025423 https://youtu.be/zsZsrOZI0Ac The ports are pretty good according to the video, with the main flaw of the gyroscope aim somehow not working properly in docked mode (may be fixed in the future). Since crashes weren't mentioned in the review (whereas he mentioned at least one in the Switch port of Kingdom Come Deliverance and I can confirm a few more in my end), I take it the game is 100% stable.
>>1031445 Last mod I tried was GAMMA and frankly it's shit; it was a bad sign before I even installed it that my choices for installing it were to either hunt down sketchy links or join the shitcord. The GRAFIX are decent, the mid-game is fun and has the usual YMMV factor of overhaul mods (the NVGs are unironically the best in any FPS I have ever played; the radiation system is AIDS) but basically everything north of the Brain Scorcher is a shooting gallery with AP ammo being a de facto requirement for winning gunfights without cheese even if you're running a 7.62x51 rifle. I don't like this even in principle but the fact that the only way to reliably stock up on AP ammo is to basically just pile up a shitload of money and then just hop from trader to trader is ridiculous. Case in point: after spending twenty minutes beating my head against the wall getting smoked by a squad of Monolith immediately on entering Pripyat I decided to enter observer mode out of morbid curiosity and see how many of them were between me and the next zone. The answer? There were twenty four Monolith between me and where I needed to go, across a path that was maybe 400 yards as the crow flies. I also had a nasty surprise the first time I encountered Sin, because apparently the devs decided to make them special snowflakes who have magic armor from worshiping artifacts or something. I swear that I'm not trying to harp on about "muh immulsions" but it seems like every Stalker overhaul chooses game balance at the expense of internal logic and that really grates after a while; people who want to powergay are going to powergay no matter what so stop fucking pandering to them.
>>1034986 GAMMA is shit but admittedly if you're willing to take TES: Oblivion amounts of time modding Anomaly you can probably cobble together a freeplay mod that's more tailored to your tastes. That being said I hate most Misery-based mods besides Misery itself, it's okay, I guess so Anomaly in general kind of turns me off. I hate that dumbass crafting system and the item bloat can be cool at first for my autistic packrat brain but just gets annoying after a while. Old World Addon fixes a lot of my problems with that, to a degree, but there's only so much you can scale back and there's also the fact that autistically collecting more new guns is part of what keeps me going in a freeplay mod with no direction. As far as freeplay goes Improved Weapon Pack for CoC is going completely standalone, I believe, and it has it's own 64-bit engine that runs pretty well from what little I've played. Some madman also managed to port DocX's Call of the Zone questing/faction systems to it so that's pretty neat

>>1036858 Then contribute to the fucking thread and actually talk about STALKER and some good fucking mods for it instead of complaining you fucking whining, lamenting, defeatist fucking niggerfaggot. I tried making a post about a handful of mods I played recently, maybe do something similar? Replay the vanilla games and talk about what it was like? Shitpost about how shit STALKER 2 is prolly gonna be? No, you'd rather complain. Ignore the shit quality posts and actually talk about the video games instead of giving us this worthless bullshit. >>1037160 There's a nigger in it too. I'll definitely pirate it since it's gonna be on GOG but I'm not expecting much. I never expected much out of Sergay, and considering that the guy that programmed the A-Life for the original games died in the war doesn't bode well (not that he was working for GSC anymore in the first place but still).
>>1037160 MODS WILL FIX IT NAHOY
>>1037160 Why are so many of your posts blackpill-tier doomposting
(84.96 KB 240x233 Putler vs Zelensky.png)

>>1037199 Because STALKER was my favorite series and I thought it was dead for good after STALKER 2 was cancelled and GSG dormant, Unfortunately, it was not, and not even a fucking war could stop it from being made and released. It was bad enough fucking redditors attached themselves to the franchise like a tumor after cuc/k/s started migrating there. Now I get to watch my favorite franchise raped by political drama, consolefaggotry and EU/Microsoft subsidies. Shadow of Chernobyl will always be the GOAT for me, but it's still sad to witness, even moreso with the tonedeaf marketing by Micro$hit.
>>1037243 Does this mean we're gonna see normalfags acting like they were fans from the start and cheeki breeki being run into the ground?
>>1037267 Been that way for like 10 years now It's going to be 20 times worse now, not only do they have Xbox shill money to attract all the PC redditors, but the game is on Xbox as a timed exclusive so all the shit for brains Xbix niggers will join in as well.
