They did, on the state level, but nobody gave two shits about it.

You halo xbox fricking homosexual COD morons have been underaged from my point of view since 2009, and you will continue to be fricking children in my eyes forever.
Metro 2033 is just another flavor of linear worthless console poopoo peepee shooter, get fricked.
Yes it will be great, the reception for the playable demo was great, everyone is excited. Nevermind the schizophrenic slav constantly screeching about it.
It will be exactly like bg3 and all these stupid underage vatBlack folk will be screeching about how praise for it went from 0 to 110% overnight because they think they can just shut down discussion.
I made the webm. SoC with ZRP still remains my favorie. AA has some weird quirks that hold it back, for example the changes to foilage can result in completely obscuring mutants, doubled with the changes to the AI this becomes a big problem because if you shoot them they'll run away. Good luck completing a mission to kill mutant dogs when you shoot one and the rest of the pack runs 400 yards away in all different directions while being completely invisible. Did I mention having too many uncompleted missions fatally softlocks the mod? It does however have lots of good things too, which is why I use it on replays sometimes.
Gamma is good too btw, pretty much the ultimate stalker experience.
Being actual war veterans will help the devs make the engagements in the game more realistic.
No more getting sniped by a makarov pistol half a field away through tall grass.
There would need to be an actual war for them to be actual war veterans. This shit going on between Russia and Ukraine is just propaganda and posturing. Neither side is actually trying to kill the other.
all the original stalker devs left
and considering what happened in ukrane
they are now dead and their wives are in germany fricking hoards of brown men
i dont want to think about the animated corpse that is STALKER 2
frick you OP
is this going to be the stalker version of witcher/monster hunter/baldur's gate where it releases and it's extremely more popular than any of the other games then the community turns to shite shortly after?
The community has already turned to shit due to all the swarm of TarkovBlack folk killing the modding scene with their 5 billion different meds, the Europe's totaly GDP needed to repair a handgun and 3 hour long reload animations.
anomaly was fricked bro, i had to tweak it so much so i wasn't spending a ton of time shipping weapons around for cheaper repairs
that being said >stormy night, almost sleep time >turn on the radio >trava u doma >finally decide to break down all the guns and trade with nearby trader for tools >rain, music, and the gunfire in the distance from rookies and bandits fighting each other, slightly worried it's gonna bleed into camp >finish up by hanging out at a campfire, eating/drinking and listening to random words of a language i don't understand next to a crackling fire >someone pulls out a harmonica as i go to sleep
that being said I no longer want to play anomaly, was just shooting mercs and monolith so much compared to other stuff
It's not hard, just moronicly time consuming.
Oh damn, I spent 50 hours scavenging with my knife to afford an AK at half HP and a full magazine, and I have to manually click to fill the mags, it's like a real operator.
Because that's what Stalker is about, it's not about the atmosphere, and the surrealism of the setting, it's about working your way up until you have a completely black XM8 with 5 different sights, the most tacticool and pouch-filled outfit ever and taking on some homosexual mercenaries that look like they geared up based on the advice of a 13 year old COD player.
well, either dont play it or disable/customize those options. The point of those mods and their integrations is partially at least, immersion, if you would go into the zone you would also have to deal with the same shit, finding better scope for you to use would improve survival chance, having better weapon for cqc while storming brainschorcher undergrounds would be no brainer, they do go too far with some shit, but then again dont complain that sandbox feels like sandbox.
I recently started playing STALKER again because 2 isn't far off and there's a lot of buzz around GAMMA but holy frick I hate it.
I honestly thought I'd love it, but stupid shit like bandaging, using a med kit then having to take painkillers to fully heal has totally turned me off of it. I was fighting a bandit a few days ago and had to swap weapons 3 times because nothing was killing the dude, I guess because I wasn't using the right ammo or something. Rifle to shotgun to pistol just to kill one dude, with multiple shots from each, shit's moronic.
>had to swap weapons 3 times because nothing was killing the dude, I guess because I wasn't using the right ammo or something
you need to repair your weapons. you can start the game with a .45 hydro handgun or slug sawed off shotty and that'll kill everything in the first half of the game in 1-2 body shots. if you pick up a gun with a broken barrel its only doing like 5% damage, the tool tip
The community is already pretty shit and stalker 2 will be more popular than the other series since its new, the number 2 indicates a sequel that normie morons instantly get their neurons activated upon hearing it, its made by poor innocent war victims which will cater reddit and indoctrinated americans and the new title gets dowgranded to be able to run in c*nsoles to cater the subhumans
Nah. It might have some comfy areas but I don't see a timeline where it feels like an immersive, HC survival tactical shooter and not like Metro Exodus 2.0
It'll be at least very decent on release and amazing with mods over time. And at the very least x-ray engine will be forever finished and something will replace anomaly and gamma homosexualry forever
I dunno, but I'm gonna play it anyway and hope for the best. What else is coming that fills the role of STALKER? nothing with any sizeable budget. Maybe Road to Vostok? still not STALKER enough nor will it be completed in a reasonable timeframe.
>UE4 as engine was wrong choice
Why? what's the bias against UE4? anything can be made on it with competent developers, it's entirely down to the professional level on who can make UE4 work out for their game. Although we're dealing with developers who made a janky game on their own engine in the past, so there's high chance for disaster on this one as well, maybe to the point of where modding is much more limited and unable to rectify issues. I wouldn't exactly say GSC are the most competent developer.
>You can't mod unreal engine games
Yes, you can. That's entirely down to what tools the developer provides with their game. Usually there's a UE4 type game exclusive development kit if the developer decides to add mod support.
Pavlov. My most played shooter in VR and in general. Great modding community, it's down to the developer. What you should be worrying about is whether GSC is focusing on dumbing down the game for consoles instead of being PC focused.
the problem with unreal, isnt you cant do stuff with it, the problem is you can make a AAA looking game in 15minutes then list it for preorder on steam. the question devs then have to ask themselves, do we really need to hire a bunch of programmer to get in the guts of the systems to make an immersive and cohrent game universe, or just hire some cheap artists and shove a bunch assets in the unreal box. the former is 1000x harder and riskier.
For most stalker fans I think not, but Im looking foward it. Abonded soviet architecture exploration is enough for me to enjoy it.
I wish war would end so I could go across ukraine.
why does it look like a Far Cry game? don't get me wrong, I like Far Cry, but I couldn't help but notice some similarities like the detection meter, there's an animation for when you get knocked down and there's also healing animations
yes I remember, but it was more like a visibility meter, the one in the trailer shows you the direction in which you're being spotted just like the one in Far Cry 3
>Is it gonna be good?
It's gonna be Unreal Engine 5 slop that takes none of the things that made the original good and instead focus on what modders did to the original (overblown autistic animations, unnecessarily complex weapons upgrades, anti game mechanics like sleeping bags, etc). I hope it never gets released.
The frick are you talking about, the gun customization is the same as before, just adding attachments.
The only thing they took was the item using animations, and they are fast instead of the 30 minute long shit from Anomaly and GAMMA.
>The frick are you talking about, the gun customization is the same as before, just adding attachments.
Oh boy here comes the GSC ballwashers to gaslight everyone. I gurantee they'll take the dogshit system from CoP and extend it further. It's going to SUCK.
Yes, and don't even go with the >BUT 100 YEARS AGO PEOPLE USED IT
because we all know that shit was never used 10 years ago and you only use it because your fellow Twitter trannies use it.

I've seen some leaked gameplay screenshots and vids (including the ones you posted) and the game oozes atmosphere. I'm really looking forward to it.
Also is it true that the story is fully playable, from beginning to end? I've seen the placeholder cutscenes dubbed in russian and they're really intriguing Nimble and Strider make an appearance, and both seem to frick Skif over. Only guy that's somewhat fair to Skif is Scar

Not at all, at least not in the beta, there's not a single quest or reference to the plot.
It's just an unfinished version of the full map.
There are some unfinished cutscenes, but they are just completely lacking in context.

There is a part of the intro but it's just very clunky and unfinished.
I avoided them mostly to avoid spoilers myself, but from what others have said there's just not much at all in there, just that you play as Strelok.

how bad are we talking? sub 30fps bad or just "stuttery mess" bad?
i just hope there is some openness to it so i can still hunt for artifacts and loot bandits...
i also hope blowouts will be dynamic and not ONLY scripted events pertaining to the story(wouldn't want normies to get upset they couldn't find cover)
i'm expecting it to be run and gun slop
If it's good this place is going to fricking implode, this is another game ala Doom Eternal that Ganker wants to seethe about for reasons unrelated to the game itself.
If it's bad, Ganker will just shit on it for a few weeks and move on.
But if it's good and sells this place will spend years having daily schizophrenic threads trying to convince anyone that it's bad and that everyone totally actually hates it.
>And where do you think the modern trend of saying "gaslight" came from if it isn't from Twitter?
It didn't come from Gotham by Gaslight?
I don't know maybe people just want to say fancy words. Just because for you everything is Twitter doesn't mean is also for me.
Drones have caused me to hate both Russians and Ukrainians. They have ruined war. It is now soi. Nukes should be launched, followed by full scale exterminations.
Why don't the white people blow up the yellow people's weapons factories etc?
That is how you win war. Not digging a trench so you can get bombed. I am smart.
They surrendered by harrasing you with mortar, sniper and ATGM fire and IED's?
The US failed to put down the insurgency and fricked off, they failed to achieve their objective, they lost.
Americans literally don't care. They stopped caring after it stopped being a war and became an occupation. They don't want durkas. Even as slaves. Don't want the land. They killed the bad guys and won. It was over. When it's not exciting anymore it's time to move on.
It'll probably be fine. The gameplay trailers I've seen have been hard to judge, Stalker isn't the kind of game you can show off in short clips, you can only really get a feel for it with long bouts of gameplay.
Again, it'll probably be fine. But I won't be surprised if I end up continuing to revisit SoC while Stalker 2 gets played once and that's it.
>"it's gonna be COD of STALKER le consolized BS!" "it's gonna be anomaly autism!" despite their being a leaked beta and gameplay at gamescon >ukraine war shitflinging for no reason >trannies mentioned
yup, typical moron shit Ganker thread
STALKER was never complicated before mods, nothing about it besides its engine not being able to run on old consoles needed it to run on PC, you can adapt the entire control scheme easily.
>STALKER was never complicated before mods
The ballistic system, the A Life system, the lighting/weather system, the ammunition and artifact system were all pretty deep and took tons of effort to make.
Modern audiences can't appreciate and thus the game will be simplified garbage for morons.
>It's going to be COD
I wish. >Like Anomaly (invalid psychology term mentioned)
Sounds good. >Ukraine war
It's made by Ukrainians, a dev was killed by Russians >Trannies
Trannies = Bad game
Typical Ganker thread these days is Jap/animu spam. Stalker is beloved on Ganker. Atamosphere is good. Can it survive in Ungood engine? No. But we still want to talk about it. All games are shit now. Talking about how they are bad almost conjures up games that should exist.
If you don't want to complain about games you are in the wrong tube of the internet.
People forget Russia ruined Africa. All uni students are communist and stay that way their whole lives. Pretending to be workers as they parasite themselves. Russia is leftism's base and origin.
The original GSC has imploded a decade ago, now it's just random dudes collected by one guy who's barely connected with the original
So no, it won't be good
If only, it will be a simplified broken mess maybe salvaged 5 years later if the mod tools come out and are powerful enough to make total conversions.
That is, if Microsoft or some other company doesn't buy GSC outright.
kek
meanwhile russia was complaining about the us sending DU ammo and the us replied "if your worried about being hit with DU ammo, maybe pull your tanks away from DU ammo range"
CNN is a private owned business and there for more immune against propaganda compared to news stations like RT who are state-controlled and there for are prone to propaganda.
well then, enable weapons/armors on traders, buy top scar with grenade launcher, buy best armor, and stomp 80% of the game in first 5 hours, without looking at single corpse for loot..
Alexander allowed local 'ethnarchs' he respected to rule over their homelands. Most famously Atropates who ruled over the area called 'Atropatene' on that map (bellow Armenia) and Porus who ruled over the far East (labelled 'Kdm. of Poros' in India) - Porus being famously defeated by Alexander at the Battle of the Hydaspes.
The other Satrapies were given to varyingly loyal Macedonian officers who fought countless wars among themselves after he died.
The first great schism was between the faction who favored waiting to know the gender of the child that Roxanna of Bactria was carrying, the others who did not wish to wait to know the child's gender and favored Alexander's half-brother Arrhidaeus, who all ancient sources agree had some sort of mental moronation. The Macedonian officer Kassander ended Alexander's bloodline by having Roxanna, her child Alexander the IV and his mother executed. Arrhidaeus was himself executed by Alexander's mother due to seeing him as a threat to her due to being a widow and no longer a Queen Mother.
In the end the Seleucids - descendants of Seleucus the Victor who ruled intially over Babylon - and the Ptolemies - descendants of Ptolemy who ruled initially over Egypt who famously stole Alexander's sarcophagus from its funeral procession - were the sole remnants.
The defeat of the Seleucids by the Romans at the battle of Magnesia in 189BC ended the Hellenistic period - the greek hegemony over the mediterrenean world - their empire then being gradually conquered by the nascent Parthians out of modern day Iran shortly afterward
The Ptolemaic Empire was handed over to the Roman Senate peacefully in the last will&testament of the last Pharaoh - Maximus Daia being the last Emperor crowned as Pharaoh in the traditional Egyptian coronation as far as is currently known.
I always forget them... the indo greek kingdom existed until 10AD, too. king Menander according to legend converting to Buddhism upon losing a debate with a monk. countless hybrid indo-greek coins and statues have been found in the area - they were conquered by the Yuezhi nomads.
Any anons ITT make it to the Stalker 2 Gamescom booth this year?

Such a shame we probably never going to get any stalker game after this
On positive side though new metro game is in making and may be good since exodus was such a cool singleplayer game
It depends on the place.
Rostok for example is finished, but there's a lot of missing vegetation in the more natural areas.
Red Forest for example only has a few trees that are more or less surrounding the area where trees need to be added, and other places like the interior of the CNPP are just a bunch of grey, flat textures.
This is Reactor 4, and this place has to be visited considering there's a switch to teleport to what's probably the underground tunnels you go through in SoC.

post that one zoomer streamer who eventually stopped their playthrough because they couldnt understand the headshot meta of stalker and you needed to get close to counter the low accuracy of weapons. the person in that webm already understands stalker
STALKER 2 isn't going to filter anyone, anon. Even if it IS super difficult, the kind of autists that enjoy Misery/Gamma aren't going to have any trouble.
i know Ganker seethes about anomaly for some reason but i think leaning into a sandbox would be more interesting, a big map with various factions and you can do whatever you want like mount and blade, set up a faction or join one and take over, or just do stalker shit.
>over a decade old general about "grand strategy" >they still haven't figured out how to play anything other than paradox games because its such an awful hugbox

i tried gamma a while ago and got so put off by it, no idea how i havent noticed it before
i've learnt to keep my expectations low. you can't be disappointed if you never have expectations to begin with.
i suspect it will have a lot antirussian, proukranian, proNato symbolism. to disassociate it from anything that could possible be interpreted as soviet glorification
Havent you guys seen the most recent gameplay? It looks like a ps3/360 game. Also journalists that got to play it say its incredibly unfinished like its borderline a proof of concept and 75% of the assets were missing including reload animations

Pavlov. My most played shooter in VR and in general. Great modding community, it's down to the developer. What you should be worrying about is whether GSC is focusing on dumbing down the game for consoles instead of being PC focused.
Name just one game with mod support and im not talking about texture injector mods.
the problem with unreal, isnt you cant do stuff with it, the problem is you can make a AAA looking game in 15minutes then list it for preorder on steam. the question devs then have to ask themselves, do we really need to hire a bunch of programmer to get in the guts of the systems to make an immersive and cohrent game universe, or just hire some cheap artists and shove a bunch assets in the unreal box. the former is 1000x harder and riskier.
Only Tripwire can make real shooters on that engine and nobody else.
>chornobyl
For most stalker fans I think not, but Im looking foward it. Abonded soviet architecture exploration is enough for me to enjoy it.
I wish war would end so I could go across ukraine.
why does it look like a Far Cry game? don't get me wrong, I like Far Cry, but I couldn't help but notice some similarities like the detection meter, there's an animation for when you get knocked down and there's also healing animations
The first Stalker game had a detection meter too
yes I remember, but it was more like a visibility meter, the one in the trailer shows you the direction in which you're being spotted just like the one in Far Cry 3
Died in an anomaly. Shot by Loners. Found with a stone around his neck. Thrown off a cliff. Torn apart by dogs. Made with Unreal Engine 4.
I hope it's nothing like their trailer.
My level of expectations fell after seeing it.
>Is it gonna be good?
It's gonna be Unreal Engine 5 slop that takes none of the things that made the original good and instead focus on what modders did to the original (overblown autistic animations, unnecessarily complex weapons upgrades, anti game mechanics like sleeping bags, etc). I hope it never gets released.
Damn that sounds great, I loved CoP MISERY.
The frick are you talking about, the gun customization is the same as before, just adding attachments.
The only thing they took was the item using animations, and they are fast instead of the 30 minute long shit from Anomaly and GAMMA.
>The frick are you talking about, the gun customization is the same as before, just adding attachments.
Oh boy here comes the GSC ballwashers to gaslight everyone. I gurantee they'll take the dogshit system from CoP and extend it further. It's going to SUCK.
Dude, there's a beta you can just download and play yourself.
>gaslight
Is it that hard to say "lie"? Why would you use Twitter Newspeak?
Is the VSS in the debug version anon? If so do you mind posting a screenshot of it?
It is but I'm not sure if I took any screenshots of it.
Gonna see if I have any, have one of the Gauss rifle.
>gaslight
>Twitter Newspeak
Anon you're stupid.
Yes, and don't even go with the
>BUT 100 YEARS AGO PEOPLE USED IT
because we all know that shit was never used 10 years ago and you only use it because your fellow Twitter trannies use it.
I merely pointed out that this game is going to be slop and your first reaction is to start sealioning? Do you work at neoGSC?
I don't use the word because it sounds stupid. I'm just saying that you're stupid because for you everything is Twitter.
>there's a beta
alpha
also is there a way to play it without downloading a 200gb torrent off of rutracker?
Nope, that's the full thing, it's that big because there's no file compression whatsoever.
I've seen some leaked gameplay screenshots and vids (including the ones you posted) and the game oozes atmosphere. I'm really looking forward to it.
Also is it true that the story is fully playable, from beginning to end? I've seen the placeholder cutscenes dubbed in russian and they're really intriguing Nimble and Strider make an appearance, and both seem to frick Skif over. Only guy that's somewhat fair to Skif is Scar
Not at all, at least not in the beta, there's not a single quest or reference to the plot.
It's just an unfinished version of the full map.
There are some unfinished cutscenes, but they are just completely lacking in context.
>Not at all, at least not in the beta, there's not a single quest or reference to the plot.
I swear I've seen the full intro to the game where some very interesting plot points are revealed. Can post a link if you'd like. BTW how is performance? What kind of hw do you have?
There is a part of the intro but it's just very clunky and unfinished.
I avoided them mostly to avoid spoilers myself, but from what others have said there's just not much at all in there, just that you play as Strelok.
>BTW how is performance? What kind of hw do you have?
Garbage, no optimization whatsoever.
>but from what others have said there's just not much at all in there, just that you play as Strelok.
You don't play as Strelok. Skif is another character entirely.
>garbage performance
how bad are we talking? sub 30fps bad or just "stuttery mess" bad?
Sounds amazing. Thanks for convincing me to bite the bullet and preorder, anon!
i just hope there is some openness to it so i can still hunt for artifacts and loot bandits...
i also hope blowouts will be dynamic and not ONLY scripted events pertaining to the story(wouldn't want normies to get upset they couldn't find cover)
i'm expecting it to be run and gun slop
>no xray engine
d r o p p e d
itll suck, but itll mean the wait is finallly over and i can put the series to rest in my mind
If it's good this place is going to fricking implode, this is another game ala Doom Eternal that Ganker wants to seethe about for reasons unrelated to the game itself.
If it's bad, Ganker will just shit on it for a few weeks and move on.
But if it's good and sells this place will spend years having daily schizophrenic threads trying to convince anyone that it's bad and that everyone totally actually hates it.
6/10 game that's gonna get its score balooned by ukraine pity.
Russia will lose the war in Ukraine
I hope we can hide that hideous skyrim compass
>And where do you think the modern trend of saying "gaslight" came from if it isn't from Twitter?
It didn't come from Gotham by Gaslight?
I don't know maybe people just want to say fancy words. Just because for you everything is Twitter doesn't mean is also for me.
No. Downgrades = shit game.
Drones have caused me to hate both Russians and Ukrainians. They have ruined war. It is now soi. Nukes should be launched, followed by full scale exterminations.
yeah but it'll be slavjank and that'll filter most people
>you cant talk about that weird videogame you found when you were 14 on the otherside of the world anymore because of /misc/
Why don't the white people blow up the yellow people's weapons factories etc?
That is how you win war. Not digging a trench so you can get bombed. I am smart.
Mutts won a war agaimst a couple billion muslims in a month.
Enemy surrender = you win.
Learn 2 war.
They surrendered by harrasing you with mortar, sniper and ATGM fire and IED's?
The US failed to put down the insurgency and fricked off, they failed to achieve their objective, they lost.
Feels like Metro Exodus
US conquered it easily enough. Afghans turned out to be cowards.
>it's actually the locals fault for not accepting defeat and building us a puppet state
I don't think I've seen this level of cope in a long time.
There's no way. The first 3 were lovably jank and now they'll go Triple-A and miss all of the charm. Guaran-fricking-teed.
Americans literally don't care. They stopped caring after it stopped being a war and became an occupation. They don't want durkas. Even as slaves. Don't want the land. They killed the bad guys and won. It was over. When it's not exciting anymore it's time to move on.
no it will be Fallout 4 slavjank edition mark my words
Inb4 Transexual stalkers. Black folk. israelites etc.
It'll probably be fine. The gameplay trailers I've seen have been hard to judge, Stalker isn't the kind of game you can show off in short clips, you can only really get a feel for it with long bouts of gameplay.
Again, it'll probably be fine. But I won't be surprised if I end up continuing to revisit SoC while Stalker 2 gets played once and that's it.
I think you dumb homosexuals like to win so much you never fight. And that's basically why you're always losers.
>"it's gonna be COD of STALKER le consolized BS!" "it's gonna be anomaly autism!" despite their being a leaked beta and gameplay at gamescon
>ukraine war shitflinging for no reason
>trannies mentioned
yup, typical moron shit Ganker thread
its consolized crap based on that leak, anon
STALKER was never complicated before mods, nothing about it besides its engine not being able to run on old consoles needed it to run on PC, you can adapt the entire control scheme easily.
so we went from its not, to, well it is, "but"
cool, cool
>STALKER was never complicated before mods
The ballistic system, the A Life system, the lighting/weather system, the ammunition and artifact system were all pretty deep and took tons of effort to make.
Modern audiences can't appreciate and thus the game will be simplified garbage for morons.
>It's going to be COD
I wish.
>Like Anomaly (invalid psychology term mentioned)
Sounds good.
>Ukraine war
It's made by Ukrainians, a dev was killed by Russians
>Trannies
Trannies = Bad game
Typical Ganker thread these days is Jap/animu spam. Stalker is beloved on Ganker. Atamosphere is good. Can it survive in Ungood engine? No. But we still want to talk about it. All games are shit now. Talking about how they are bad almost conjures up games that should exist.
If you don't want to complain about games you are in the wrong tube of the internet.
>It's going to be good because the fake gameplay video made it look good
People forget Russia ruined Africa. All uni students are communist and stay that way their whole lives. Pretending to be workers as they parasite themselves. Russia is leftism's base and origin.
>Microsoft
>Blackrock
>Jewkraine
No.
>None of the native americans are shitting
Fake.
>game is also going to be on console
literally all you need to know to realize this game will suck dick compared to the originals.
>Game gets delayed a shit ton of times
Not a single game has actually been good after this happens.
most of you are lucky im not a mod, fricking poltard schizos ruin everything
You do know that Russians are forced to attend marches organized by the kremlin, or they could face jail/fines?
The original GSC has imploded a decade ago, now it's just random dudes collected by one guy who's barely connected with the original
So no, it won't be good
>consoles
No
>+100km2
>+12 million people
>10 times less casualties
this is somehow a terrible loss for Russia according to nafosisters
sorry, 100 thousands km2
>(insert statement that's real in my head)
I read it on an CNN/RT tho?
It will probably never come out
If only, it will be a simplified broken mess maybe salvaged 5 years later if the mod tools come out and are powerful enough to make total conversions.
That is, if Microsoft or some other company doesn't buy GSC outright.
...youll get upsomethings for supporting russia on reddit or myspace or whatever you guys use now?
anon your window shopping for coffins age. Your not 22 anymore. That was a decade ago
>Metro is shit, consolized crap with AIs holding your hand and ruining the atmosphere
t.30 year old
at least it looks like they absolutely ignored any moronic miseryshit suggestions and it plays like normal stalker
kek
meanwhile russia was complaining about the us sending DU ammo and the us replied "if your worried about being hit with DU ammo, maybe pull your tanks away from DU ammo range"
please tell me more about these "updoots". Im not aware of russian culture
CNN is a private owned business and there for more immune against propaganda compared to news stations like RT who are state-controlled and there for are prone to propaganda.
CNN and RT are both owned by the ruling class, moron.
>CNN and RT are both owned by (insert statement that's real in my head)
>YOU'RE WRONG... BECAUSE YOU JUST ARE.. OKAY???
>(insert statement that's real in my head)
refer to
cnn is owned by warner bros
known for such hits like tom and jerry, scooby doo and the flintstones
This is not video game related, anon.
i didnt bring up cnn, anon
i didnt bring up warner bros, tom and jerry, scooby doo and the flintstones, anon.
no, the specific claim was that cnn was privately owned
which its not. Its owned by warner bros. Known for such hits like tom and jerry, scooby doo, and the flintstones
Is the warner bros owned by the government?
I don't really get your point?
cope more, russBlack person. the prominant actor for russian war propaganda is a gay porn actor homosexual
No, globohomosexual has sunk it's claws into it. I can feel it
slav game will attract slavs into fighting each other for a millionth time
A modern videogame? What do you think?
i am of the belief they should've made a sequel with the same exact graphics and artstyle as call of pripyat.
the mood of the game is what sells it, and i don't think any modern game engine can replicate it.
Stalker?
well then, enable weapons/armors on traders, buy top scar with grenade launcher, buy best armor, and stomp 80% of the game in first 5 hours, without looking at single corpse for loot..
nta, but you are so fricking moronic, it hurts reading this
Bold of you to assume it's coming out. Grigorovich will set the office ablaze to cover up his failures.
not on xray - so no.

THIS shit thread turned into a battle between troonie Ukrainian homosexuals and polish Black folk vs mutt Russian orcs.
Alexander allowed local 'ethnarchs' he respected to rule over their homelands. Most famously Atropates who ruled over the area called 'Atropatene' on that map (bellow Armenia) and Porus who ruled over the far East (labelled 'Kdm. of Poros' in India) - Porus being famously defeated by Alexander at the Battle of the Hydaspes.
The other Satrapies were given to varyingly loyal Macedonian officers who fought countless wars among themselves after he died.
The first great schism was between the faction who favored waiting to know the gender of the child that Roxanna of Bactria was carrying, the others who did not wish to wait to know the child's gender and favored Alexander's half-brother Arrhidaeus, who all ancient sources agree had some sort of mental moronation. The Macedonian officer Kassander ended Alexander's bloodline by having Roxanna, her child Alexander the IV and his mother executed. Arrhidaeus was himself executed by Alexander's mother due to seeing him as a threat to her due to being a widow and no longer a Queen Mother.
In the end the Seleucids - descendants of Seleucus the Victor who ruled intially over Babylon - and the Ptolemies - descendants of Ptolemy who ruled initially over Egypt who famously stole Alexander's sarcophagus from its funeral procession - were the sole remnants.
The defeat of the Seleucids by the Romans at the battle of Magnesia in 189BC ended the Hellenistic period - the greek hegemony over the mediterrenean world - their empire then being gradually conquered by the nascent Parthians out of modern day Iran shortly afterward
The Ptolemaic Empire was handed over to the Roman Senate peacefully in the last will&testament of the last Pharaoh - Maximus Daia being the last Emperor crowned as Pharaoh in the traditional Egyptian coronation as far as is currently known.
autism mode: off
I always forget them... the indo greek kingdom existed until 10AD, too. king Menander according to legend converting to Buddhism upon losing a debate with a monk. countless hybrid indo-greek coins and statues have been found in the area - they were conquered by the Yuezhi nomads.
Plebbit and discord shitskins seething about Russians and Ukrainians lol and the other gay things Islam is a race lol
The whole Russia/Ukraine thing proves one thing, America is invincible.
the shitters in australian are sikhs, i feel like thats a bit different
Any anons ITT make it to the Stalker 2 Gamescom booth this year?
they were giving out some pretty sick merch but I missed it cause it sure as hell wasn't worth standing 5 hours in line for
I myself only managed to get some merch off ebay. The dogtag (pic related) is pretty neat..
oh yeah this was a stalker thread, i forgot
couldnt even remember what the thread was about when scrolling down
Stalker is my favourite game but i have 0 hopes for 2, there's just to many redflag
>not pc exclusive
>Content locked behind pre order
>Shitty attempt to introduce nft
>Gunplay looks cod like
>Unrealistic release day
Such a shame we probably never going to get any stalker game after this
On positive side though new metro game is in making and may be good since exodus was such a cool singleplayer game
It depends on the place.
Rostok for example is finished, but there's a lot of missing vegetation in the more natural areas.
Red Forest for example only has a few trees that are more or less surrounding the area where trees need to be added, and other places like the interior of the CNPP are just a bunch of grey, flat textures.
This is Reactor 4, and this place has to be visited considering there's a switch to teleport to what's probably the underground tunnels you go through in SoC.

ivan you must be getting a really nice knife skin for these posts.
Why are ziggers allowed on Ganker? Ban all indians and thirdies from posting here. It should only be allowed if you're NA, european or japanese.
Take a look at recent game releases. Especially those that are powered by MS and then ask yourself: Is it really gonna be good?
400k dead ziggers
Stalker?
We don't discuss video games here. It's jaks, but made by underpaid Black folk and ziggers and gpt3 with brain damage.
yes that was the joke. Sorry fogot i was dealing with...your kind
Play STALKER Anomaly and be happy suka blyat.
And people ask why /misc/ shouldn't be nuked.
It fails as a containment board because if you let shit fester long enough it will eventually spread.

You're gunna poop your pants when you can't slam the medkit hotkey while standing out in the open auto firing.
It's funny because I agree with you and you misunderstood me.
I'm pretty sure anyone who plays gamma can rip through any stalker game lol, go back to coping on /vg/ shitter
post that one zoomer streamer who eventually stopped their playthrough because they couldnt understand the headshot meta of stalker and you needed to get close to counter the low accuracy of weapons. the person in that webm already understands stalker
STALKER 2 isn't going to filter anyone, anon. Even if it IS super difficult, the kind of autists that enjoy Misery/Gamma aren't going to have any trouble.
probably not
i know Ganker seethes about anomaly for some reason but i think leaning into a sandbox would be more interesting, a big map with various factions and you can do whatever you want like mount and blade, set up a faction or join one and take over, or just do stalker shit.

It's not Ganker.

its the brutal doom of stalker mods
No it really isn't, its more like the ancient aliens of stalker mods, an entirely new super popular game among fans that only the most moronic of

it was hated because it was the #1 stalker mod on moddb
Hopefully with all this slava ukraine autism the facial animation is ukrainian.
however stalker 2 ends up i hope it doesnt have that fricking annoying thing in stalker where if you're running and run into any slight bump in the ground you'll completely stop
i tried gamma a while ago and got so put off by it, no idea how i havent noticed it before
it's on unreal, what do you think?
i've learnt to keep my expectations low. you can't be disappointed if you never have expectations to begin with.
i suspect it will have a lot antirussian, proukranian, proNato symbolism. to disassociate it from anything that could possible be interpreted as soviet glorification
Now that the originals are open-source they can't be topped, they will be improving ad infinitum

Havent you guys seen the most recent gameplay? It looks like a ps3/360 game. Also journalists that got to play it say its incredibly unfinished like its borderline a proof of concept and 75% of the assets were missing including reload animations
I knew since they moment the showed that pre rendered shit that it was fake as shit
>Also journalists that got to play it say its incredibly unfinished like its borderline a proof of concept and 75% of the assets were missing including reload animations
no they didn't, they said it was good lol
