1:40:00 When the chopper passed by me the blades weren't whirring, but stood completely still while the chopper flew along its way. 1:45:00 - You are on the GROUND floor, first floor is above the ground floor. I'm still getting used to using that vernacular I'm so used to calling the ground floor the first floor because it's the first one you walk onto. 1:47:30 Interesting... that was a unique cutscene I never got, he never threw an AK at me, had me assemble it, nothing... even in the runthrough I was working directly with The Ward the whole time.

I know this was a month ago... but man watching you stare at the gun in the trench and go "Where's the gun?" and proceed to look everywhere but where it was... I felt cringe, actual cringe.

They have a literal line of dialogue when you talk to random NPCs where they go "Don't bother fighting mutants, they don't have loot."

There's an additional Possibility. The Energy of the Zone and the Noo-sphere is/was being constrained, and it builds up to an emission because it is/was not being used. By "freeing " the Zone, all of that energy is now in use across the world, which may mean it might never build up and cause an emission.

As someone who’s currently playing through the game, it would be preferable if the title of your video didn’t spoil one of the endings

Really cool video by the way, would love to see you making more videos about this game or the stalker trilogy

I bet the next dlc is gonna give some hints about the endings

I wouldn't say The Ward are very evil, but they definitely have some wrong ways of doing things and while they have the "greater good" in mind, they still don't go about it in a good way. I was mad at myself for joining them and letting them activate the scanner and cause all those issues. I'm glad I went back to do a Spark playthrough, because it not being my fault and me actively trying to stop it felt better than causing it due to my lofty ideals or want for a big house.

just got another 10GB update tight there.

If you have an A-Life mod, that you used before 1.1, remove it. Those mods increased what they had access to, but as they fixed A-Life, you may have the increased spawn from that *and* the A Life mods. Also, from my testing : early areas have less things happening than "late game" areas. Probably also depending on how much of the main story you did.

The whole yeah whatever bish...."Proceeds to unload the shotgun" Was epic! THIS GAME though!! Emergent gameplay is more and more apparent .You can keep all those other horror, jump-scare games...The emergence is real with this, and it feel organic. Jeez imagine Stalker 3 procedurally run by AI?!?

Quick answer is no its not fixed. Its little better but not fixed.

Sticking to Anomaly GAMMA until they fix the performance or atleast come out with a statement that they lied on the recommended specs. So in aobut 10 years from now

well thats what they do fill up the entirety of your disc size and barely fix a thing or two

whats the name of the val that you using at the start?

3 likes btw, with my like it would be 4.

I want another stream this night.

The best youtuber streamer of my TH-cam.

Ominous yet IMO the best ending. The Zone gets "concluded" and the powers that be might benefit, but will likely propel humanity forward long-term. And Skif gets his new improved home.

Sorry about abruptly ending the stream boys... part 2 will start exactly where we left off

Playlist not chronological

As for your questions on Ward/Military around 02 hours 34 minutes, i assume since you are on your second playthrough again you might know already but if not (or for anyone else watching this wondering as well and after I post this comment, I pieced it together like this: The military is still in. It's now called "IPSF" (International Protection Security Force) and was internationalized, but consists of the Ukrainian military and I hear now international (western mostly, afaik) additional troops wearing the same uniforms and patches. They do still mostly use Ukrainian or Russian/ex-Soviet military vehicles and tanks. Think of it like a UN mission under its own branding. This was partially or maybe primarily done to take away the official status of them being Ukrainian military and wearing the flags because I think they wanted to avoid for many audiences, at least Ukrainian and some supportive international audiences, to be actually firing on marked Ukrainian soldiers because of the war, making it ... odd. This way they dodged around this issue while giving the faction a new spin. Ward or Varta is ... trickier to figure out. It's ambiguous. What is apparent is that they are attached to SIRCAA and / or the Regulatory Board and that they are some kind of paramilitary unit using military ranks. Their actual formal standing is somewhat unclear. Some think they are corpos or PMCs, I initially thought because of the Ukrainian government (and under it, Regulatory Board) effectively having created or managed SIRCAA, that SIRCAA must be a de-facto government entity or one akin to it. So I thought Ward/Varta would be actual paramilitary civil servants like possibly Interior Ministry troops, if not Defense Ministry. They're definitely not Stalkers as they make a clear distinction towards them and do not seem to consider themselves Zone regulars. They are almost like the military in their own camo design. However it's also possible that they are sorta "PMC" formally and like Mercs, hired for a job to be SIRCAA's muscle. Given the serious equipment and manpower they can field they do not seem like Mercs, let alone the classic Zone Mercs to me. I'm personally more inclined to believe they are kind of like IPSF their own brand of government related personnel given their standing and how they cooperate with IPSF and consider each other basically comrades. Unless there is already clear dev commentary on them defining their status, I'm so far personally inclined to believe they share the same fate with "IPSF" - they are de-facto government, maybe interior ministry troops or something similar or new but they wanted to avoid making that clear and official because you can also fight against the Ward in the game so also for out-of-game reasons it was maybe safer to give them their own ambiguous spin and custom branding so you wouldn't be shooting at formal government or security service or whatever troops or personnel, also maybe due to the war. But apart from that the way Ward acts, they are de-facto (paramilitary) soldiers to me, basically the government. Given how they basically did a zone police job in a partial way already and forced to stop the warring factions with their endless wars and how they operate their own vehicles and brands on them... it's not that unlikely rather than them just being hired guns from the street. They are too professional and cohesive for that.

waaasssup dickcream?

I don’t know if you figured out what it is already but i’ve heard that the electro thing follows you around if you’ve got an anomaly on your belt :/

Noice.

1:14:19 I tested many types of ammo pre patch and the better ammo only made a slight difference with high caliber rifles live SVD and SVU, but it was barely any better. Pistols were pretty much all the same no matter ammo type. Shotguns were the pre patch go to but better ammo would drop in a few. Assault rifles were like BB guns unless fighting blind dogs. It felt like the only weapons balanced for mutants from the get go was shotguns. But you had to get headshots still to end it quick. The gauss rifle didnt even kill a bloodsucker in one hit. It was rough rough 😂

59:10 I think the lore behind the ISPF is that citizens got tired of thier military being sent into the zone, so the government made them only patrol the boarder and contracted the Ward to go into the zone and work with SIRCCA(I dont remember how its spelt) instead. I dont think it was explained too much, but I remember hearing that somewhere. Could have been fan speculation, but if it is it makes sense to a degree.

54:15 That weapon adding is only supposed to happen in psi fields but for some reason persists once you leave the area. Its what made that side quest from the Noontide scientist that I told you about so rough. It over encumbered me in mid gun fight like seven times. It was rough to deal with ontop of an army of enemies

8:36 From what I understand of it, the Duga was originally for radar, but changed into the brain scorcher by the scientists who stayed in the zone and eventually became the c-conscious. I also think the Clear Sky people or at least thier leader was one of the scientists who left before c-conscious was formed. I could be wrong, never played the original trilogy, but watched a ton of videos back in the day and a lore video for recap before Stalker2 released.

2:36:21 SWAT is short for Special Weapons and Tactics. Typically made up of local law enforcement who have been trained in many different types of weaponry and can often bring in thier own weaponry if the situation calls for it. A lot of swat teams include vetrans of war. Some teams also just get military training.

I mean it is cool to have a big map but a-life is not working and that spawn system suck's! cool video! thumbs up!

We need a mod where you can drive cars or bikes. That map is way to big

29:10 take off artefacts from your belt and it won't chase you

17:17 It's crazy to me that notes weight 0.5kg each. Like every one is a full notebook 😂

8:15:33 I feel like the devs making side missions tied to story progress was dumb. Missing quests across the map because the story hasn't brought you there yet is dumb. Should unlock more with the progress, not lose out.

Which mods were used for this game??

7:24:24 Powerplug talks like Johnny Bravo in English 😂

7:14:57 I believe that was removed for the same reason as Russian localization and sales.

7:04:15 That quest was bugged like that for me too. Though, the door was unlocked. I talked to Gaffer and he had no dialogue option, but once I did it continued the quest to the next stage, where I couldn't talk to Warlock. Then, once I completed the quest, came back to Gaffer, then was going to leave, all the Monolith spawned in thier spots outside and the opening fight started. 😂 This has been the only bugged quest for me so far. The professor's lab door opened for me and he gives an emitter mission, which turned into the most annoying mission for me. So, you didnt miss much I dont think 😅

Keep it up😅😅😅😅

5:21:34 Ledge grabbing really messes with your head 😂 To get up, you hop up on the ladder prongs next to the guy, hop onto the train car, walk arcross the beam to the other side with the ladder prongs then balance ontopof the bridge to the stash. I dont think there is any other bridge with climbable ladder prongs, so that spot is pretty confusing unless you mess around in the area.

TH-cam algorithm hooking me up. Sweet video, earned a sub

this game is so cool love it!

4:04:45 applejuiceroman has an issue comparing everything and anything with a hint of sci-fi to Cyberpunk.

2:33:51 I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be military along the whole boarder, and then the military in the zone is now the Ward. I went to the Central Checkpoint the first time, and they were military. Every time after, it's been different people, all always hostile. I think a-life being bugged messed with the respawns there. I went to the dam though, and they had military snipers (who couldn't die, be careful).

So this isnt a shitty stalker 2 ?

1:20:00 The psidogs are the absolute worst. They multiply way too much too fast. Its never a gun fight. Would be better if it only duplicated two or three for like a minute, so if you dont take it out fast it gets harder. But having it at 250% from the get go is not cool. 😂 I had one in Pripyat that took forever because of how many duplicates it had from the start and the fact that it got the attention of every other enemy type in the city because it was the most chaotic encounter Ive had so far, but the psidogs ruined the joy of it. I hope they can change the amount to be more time based instead.

14:33 The static field generator doesn't protect against equiped artifact radiation, just general radiation. Also, the upgrade path has a two upgrade options on top and bottom, with the third option for both paths being a lead container. I find it best to just get the lead containers instead, because the radiation resistance doesn't do that much compared to two safe artifact slots

1:03:35 Getting over weight happens faster when you carry every piece of note paper with you! Only teasing 😂 I sold every note or PDA right away, because I didnt want them cluttering inventory or stash. I run just Skifs Pistol, a DNIPRO, and the Zircon Suit with Sphere M20 Helmet and my carry weight with just that is at 38kg. Going around with a second primary and ammo was too much for me lol

58:59 When I did this part, I got 28 zombies in total. I had so many sellable guns from them that I went from no loot to full loot with just them. I wish the base carry weight was higher or the carry weight only applied to your backpack, and things equipped weren't weighted. I hated walking back with 79.5kg. The fight was engaging though.
