S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Stalker) Thread

Saying they're making the zone brighter and more colourful is a red flag. I don't want huge poppy fields in the zone, it's not how the zone looks at all.

I hope they use more content from road side picnic. Shadows reaching out for you and giving you a heart attack would be really interesting gameplay.

I don't know man. I'd call parts of the Agroprom Underground bright and colorful thanks to the glowing puddles of waste. The Warp is bright and colorful but I don't think anyone considers it anything but a horror story. Those bright colors might be an aurora borealis, in this part of Europe... at noon? Oh wait, that's just an incoming emission, take cover!

Thank fucking god. I was genuinely worried they'd try to add a trendy battle royale mode or at least a CoD-style PvP mode. This way maps and assets will be focused entirely on single-player use and there won't be any shitty maps "tuned" for multiplayer wasting time or space.

I think they would have a very hard time competing with Tarkov for PVP players.
 
Seems like the news didn't get here yet. The game has NFTs: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/15/22834567/stalker-2-nfts-metahuman-dmarket

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is one of the bigger releases of 2022, and for better or worse, it’s going to feature one of the biggest tech trends going into next year: non-fungible tokens (or NFTs).
GSC Game World, which is developing the game, has announced the “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Metaverse,” which will “use blockchain technology to let the community own a piece of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.” That includes the opportunity to become the “first-ever metahuman,” which GSC Game World appears to define as a non-player character rendered in very high detail. (Though a spokesperson confirmed a metahuman won’t be made with Epic Games’ MetaHuman Creator tool). GSC Game World is partnering with NFT platform DMarket on the new items.
To become a “metahuman,” players will be able to bid for an NFT offering that prize as part of an auction taking place in January 2022. Whoever “owns” the NFT to become an NPC in the game will be able to buy and sell it up until a specific claim date after the auction.
For whoever does end up with the NFT, here’s how the process of becoming an NPC in the game will work, GSC Game World CEO Evgeniy Grygorovych told me in an emailed statement:
The idea of the related NFT is to give the right to recreate its owner’s identity within the game through one of the NPCs. The person will need to come to our studio for a detailed scanning procedure and after that, we will have everything to make this person appear in the game world as one of the characters.
(You can get a brief look at how GSC Game World scans people into the game in this video.)
GSC Game World also plans to release other NFTs in addition to the metahuman one, though the company declined to specify what they might be when we asked. Its NFT drops “won’t influence the gameplay itself or give in-game advantages over other players,” according to a press release.
Despite trepidation from many about NFTs (including Keanu Reeves), game makers are beginning to explore the concept in earnest. The announcement of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 NFTs arrives just over a week after the widely panned news that Ubisoft would be bringing NFT gear to Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. (Some Ubisoft developers have raised questions internally about the company’s NFT initiative, Kotaku reports.) And Peter Molyneux, known for his work on games like Populous, Black And White, and Fable, is making a business simulator where players buy an NFT and try to earn a new digital currency called LegacyCoin.

lol /v/ is filled with people celebrating this reversal and also lots of jews enraged that their new money laundering scheme has been wrecked, who are claiming the game has now lost its chief source of funding and will have less content as a result. They're calling everyone who thought the NFT idea was retarded is a tranny environmentalist liberal, which is the strangest cope I think I've seen there in a long time.

At the rate the West is going that doesn't sound too bad. Having to learn a new language though is a challenge.

Anyone here into Metro? I finished Exodus and the expansion pack recently.

Sort of. I've played 2033 and Last Light twice and Exodus once. Never did either of the DLC's for Exodus though. How were they?

People forget that Steam has a mandate against NFTs in their storefront. So its more of "oh shit we have to focus on getting this to steam for more money" rather than actually listening from the backlash. GSG have been incompetent and greedy ever since the release of Cossacks 3.

It was definitely worth playing to me, not much in terms of replay value but good fun in itself.

Have you ever played STALKER: Anomaly or the Dead Air mod? I like Anomaly a lot, Dead Air is good too but really challenging.

If you are okay with short stories sidelining from Artyom, then its alright.

I just want mods that adds the original language of the game with subtitles, maybe overhaul the combat since your shots rarely align in the beginning of the game and just turns to tedium. Hard mode: Shadow of Chernobyl mods only.

Yes to both. I tried Dead Air, quit because it was just tedious, annoying, and difficulty for the sheer sake of it, and have a heavily modded Anomaly playthrough going. Good to know on the DLC's, both you and @WULULULULU .
