S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl

[Finarfin]

What do you think the letters in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stand for?

Goddamn it, why the **** do I keep misspelling "think" as "thing?"

Scavengers
Trespassers
Adventurers
Looters
Killers
Explorers
Robbers

[wndrbr]

I tried to come up with a funny meaning for the acronym, but couldn't find any slurs or swearwords starting with "E".

[1998]

I found this one



I think somebody needs to test if even ****** are aware of it.

Slut
Tranny
Asshole
Lardass
Kike
Egghead
Retard

The new gameplay footage is so ******* bad. Dude is constantly reloading mags, and the reloading animation for the AK is ********. Can't wait till Poutine wins the "special military operation" so the Russkies cancel this trashheap moneygrab.

EDIT: If you are from Tha Youkraine... sorry lol

[Zothique]

Also, just so your fuckers know I was NOT kidding...

Also, just so your fuckers know I was NOT kidding...

Why can't they ever find someone who's competent enough to show off the game?

[Rand]

What the **** is with the interface with the prompts and quest **** on it?

Yap, had to stop half way in. I just can't stand watching ******* playing FPS.

[1998]

The 90-min dev doc is out. Obviously didn't watch it, but still curious that they release that before the game.

Fronthole detected.

I’m assumed it’s standard marketing material in building hype for the game.

Nah not a 90 min documentary, that's just bs especially for a game so obviously being in dev hell.

I'm looking forward to the The Making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 2 coming out before the game.

The final round of shilling.

[Zothique]

This looks like ****... good god.

[1998]

The final round of shilling.

Stopped watching at the 1 min mark, after he admitted of never having played the originals.

[Rand]

This looks like it's running at about 30fps, max.
Janky.

As expected, the latest delay does nothing in terms of improvements.

[Rand]

Reminder:

[rusty_shackleford]

going to sell a billion copies because it's ukrainian btw

they have zero reason to make a good game or an optimzied one

par for the course for the gamejournos.

Funny how all these videos say "stalker 2 is le HARD", "stalker 2 is HARDCORE", "i died many times" as if they treat it like some kind of first person Dark Souls game.

None of the STALKER games were hard, except for maybe that moment from Clear Sky where you get machinegunned to death if you enter Cordon from the wrong entrance.

[Tweed]

All I can say is that it's a good thing we have slav coder nerds and the open x-ray engine.

[Rand]

Can't find info on what the three versions of the game give the purchaser.
Not good marketing.

[Rand]

Found the info


Deluxe:


Ultimate:



It's ********. Carved out content side quest for the Deluxe version and two main quest extensions for the Ultimate version.
(Steam exclusive content is crap for your Steam profile and forums.)

[rusty_shackleford]

just pirate it

[Rand]

just pirate it

But of course.
Since it's "in support of Ukraine", my tax dollars already paid for it.

Especially after seeing those gamepad ******* emptying clip after clip with almost no hits and still being alive, massive doubt.

[Zothique]

Maybe I'm being a bit maudlin here, but this was going to be "it" for me. The final straw. The last stand (when it comes to gaming). I was hoping they wouldn't **** it up. But they probably did. And that stupid ******* "military operation" probably had a lot to do to politicize this to come out in a **** state.

Can't wait to see the ********, *******, and ******* peppered through DA ZONE as well! I'm sure the anomalies have gotten more inclusive since Major Degtyarev's time!
