      westernized xoxols are literally fricking subhuman
      the moment those homosexuals nu-devs pretended to be affected by the war while their studio wasn't even hit was so desperate it made me fricking laugh
      especially those mentally ill abortions who can't eat a single snickers and instantaneous fall into coma yet think they will the war with some MGs that their weak hands barely can hold
      but making pictures and spreading videos on israelitetube propaganda was their main focus, instead of the game.. even manager to edit it so le Russians look le bad
      I wish their entire fricking studio went and got their skull split.. what a bunch of wienersucking subhumans truly traiterous Microsoft dick sucking Black folk
      Only because you get some sponsorship by the westoids like Microsoft and their Xbox branch doesn't mean you get to run wild you fricking maggots

              It is, GAMMA is what a zoomer thinks Stalker is, a game about playing as a wannabe mercenary armed with an XM8 with 10 different scopes and tacticool gear and where all you do is just endlessly farm equipment.
              At this rate GAMMA will remove mutants and just have soldiers as enemy NPCs.

                It's still the Zone.
                Hell, they've already changed it slightly, like how they made the area around Skadovsk completely flat to make it closer to how it looks like in real life.

                I don't give a frick about Strelok or the plot in general, Stalker's plot is only held up by the setting.

              The thing is, whenever I look at the official trailers and they’re showing off a familiar famous location from the original stalker, the gameplay looks off..? Something about it doesn’t look real, it kinda reminds me of the early Cyberpunk 2077 trailers, I’m wondering if there’s some advertising frickery of a mix of CGI and specifically built demo areas purely for bullshots. With the gameplay leak those trailers feel even stranger

                Yeah but in that trailer the Ex-Monolith guy looks like a HD Strelok, it just feels weird, all the dialogue in that trailer feels weird. It’s trying to push itself as more serious but the voice acting is so stilted in comparison to the facial animation, You can definitely feel the Metro Exodus bleeding into this

                >in that trailer the Ex-Monolith guy looks like a HD Strelok

                The frick are you talking about, the beta leaked months ago, the main character is Strelok.

                >the main character is Strelok
                It can't be because Skif isn't Strelok and the story is another Monolith amnesia intro just like Strelok. You probably meet Strelok ingame though and you supposedly meet Scar.

      If there's one thing I wish it's that the player didn't get knocked out so much. It's like a running gag by the end. But I don't mind the running back and forth, it's better than cramming vehicles into maps not designed for it. And the universal stash box that transfers between levels is genius for preventing backtracking. The UI isn't great but the fact that there's unique monsters and you can view their 3d models and animations in the pda encyclopedia makes up for it.

          Anonymous

          Reskins as in all the monsters or the unique ones?
          Off the top of my head there's the Talking Flesh (probably a nod to mods who made the fleshes speak stalker lines backwards), the Landlord Controller, the giga-Boar General Tschok, the bloodsucker that discharges an electrical anomaly when you shoot it, and a few others. I think almost all the high tier monsters have a one-off unique variant.

          Say what you want about the linearity, it's kind of cool to be railroaded into specific encounters, especially with the Controllers in the game. Realizing that you're talking directly to one while it infects your mind and makes you think you're sitting in a peaceful cabin while you're really running all over the dark valley in a stupor is much more in line with the lore than a slow walking controller with psy blasts and AoE damage.

          Props to the developers for making psi damage a blue haze and removing the fricking double vision effect permanently.

    It won't be STALKER SoC 2 and that will make it fricking horrendous because it'll just either be CoP where all RPG elements were basically gone and it's just a shit action shooter, in which case it'll be Metro with STALKER leanings, OR it'll just be straight up Metro of Stalker and it's Metro that takes place in the Zone.

          None of what you said even affects the RPG elements, weapon/suit upgrades exist and promote much more build variety and decisions are still there and more complex than SoC in many situations.

          CoP is a better game overall, it just lacks the gripping atmosphere that SoC did.

    Eh, not THAT much. I remember hearing a while back that not much of the original team is left, with that plus a multiplatform focus as much as I hate the term "soul" I think it'll be lacking.
    A lot of the appeal of the original game was the open (ish) world and A-Life allowing for a real-feeling ecosystem with people and animals doing their own thing. I doubt that a bigger budget 'AAA' sequel will focus on that aspect, instead looking to make a cool story with lots of trailer moments and a more modern 'checklist' style of open world.
    Still, I remain open to being pleasantly suprised.

            It's easier to suspend my disbelief when the accent is common to the area. No fricking shit if I could perfectly understand Ukrainian I would prefer the Ukrainian dub with no subs above all else, but I fricking don't. If anything needing to constantly read words that pop up on the bottom of the screen to understand anyone is more damaging to my immersion than everyone speaking english.

      That's pretty much all it is, minecraft survival mode with anomalies. I mean it's okay sure if you like collecting 3 bullets, breadcrumbs and an artifact that does nothing as the sum total of your playtime.

      Remember to explore in True Stalker, I accidentally got hooked on the story and forgot to jump around and walk around in the second half, even though there's hidden stuff.

      Wish the second half was more combat heavy, by the time the artifact was mutated I had a full combat load of 5.56 and rifle grenades to do absolutely frick all with.
      >kill 3 monolith troopers in the warehouses
      >squadmate comments "fanatics here? how did they get past the barrier?"
      >never encounter monolith again
      What a blueball.
      Also if you're thinking about True Stalker, you spend the second half of the game traveling with a fully voiced squad of 3 companions across the zone. Not to mention the dozens of new voiced NPCs in the game.

      its a game where you play as the average stalker in a build your own story kinda game, it has some story missions meant to give you some direction but you're free to tackle it whenever you want
      it's highly customizable so if you don't like some of the grinding aspects you can turn them down or even disable them
      >but I hate downloading and installing mods
      it's a modpack for Anomaly so all you really have to do is follow the installer guide and it will sort itself, after that you can fine tune it whowever you want

    So anyone played the leaked beta or what. My stinkpad isn't going to run that shit, I'll be in the garbage.

      I have.
      Not much to say because it's mostly just the overworld map, there's nothing related to the plot or quests aside from a few scripted scenarios that are part of some missions.
      Plus it's 200GB and has almost no optimization.

        Any new locations? Are original areas expanded in any meaningful way or is it just same old in new engine?

          It's basically all areas from previous games in one map.
          Some are moved around to make sense, others like the area around Skadovsk are changed to resemble the real life locations, and there's a bunch of new ones.
          There's also some kind of barrier surrounding the entirety of the Zone that starts basically at the military outpost at Cordon, pic related.
          Some locations are changed too, Zaton for example, on top of the changes around Skadovsk, is mostly flooded, or the Clear Sky camp, which is mostly in ruins.
          The CNPP seems to be abandoned, since it has a lot of overgrown flora around it, and I also found the Generators.

            Though I think most of the barrier is a placeholder, in some places it's just the same asset copy pasted over and over, while in others it's far more detailed, with barbed wire and such.

    It has already done enough good just from the endless entertaining language drama among bickering Slavs.

    this is the same game that had to be delayed because the try to bandwagon the nft train when it was already fading into irrelevancy, my only expectation is that it will be shit but maybe modders will rescue it and make something decent out of it

      Most russians are neutral.
      Most of the people seething are just hispanics seething in their name.
      They probably think that if Russia wins they'll get back their gold or something.

        >Most russians are neutral
        The Russian Internet Research Agency has been actively documented as stirring up discontent on sites such as this, as well as supporting political dissident groups online such as BLM and Natsoc groups. Additionally, dvach regularly raids Ganker and they don't even try to hide it. You'll find that wherever Russians are allowed communities usually degrade in the same way. They are a real life version of what /misc/ pretends israelites are.

          Sure, but those gays mostly focus on /misc/ and those dumbass generals focused on the war.
          In Ganker all the seethe comes from the fact that Ganker is mostly hispanics and hispanics are obsessed with this, constantly larping as if they were Europeans and shit.
          God, I hate Spain for not just genociding them all.

    I had some hope when gamepass was new and they announced all the games for it, like they were actually gonna try to have some quality in there to draw in subscriptions but after Redfall and Starfield, There's no way in hell anything good can come out of it. The only 2 games that were backed by Microsoft and were Day-one releases on goypass were Psychonauts 2 and Hi-Fi Rush. If they develop it like a AA game it might have a chance but I doubt it with how much they're trying to hype it up.

    None. Barring that, it isn't likely to release any time soon anyway. The war is likely keeping them from working on it consistently.

    nothing. most of the Devs who made the first game SOVL are prolly dead in war against Ziggers and they added a freaking zelenzky in game (check new trailer) which means that game will be filled with Ukraine propoganda.
