The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series

Depends on if you like the open-ended aspect of those mods since there’s barely any story and no ending. Just you exploring the game world and doing quests, not to mention those being some of the most hard-core mods for STALKER that you can play, so I wouldn’t recommend them for newcomers :slightly_smiling_face:

A ~200gb build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 got leaked these past few days and it’s shared on Russian sites such as VK. The group behind the leak is probably the same one that has a grudge on GSC relating to the war in Ukraine :roll_eyes:

At least it’s an encrypted and non-playable build. I’d like to think that all the people out there who are genuine fans of the series (including Russian ones) will ignore this and just wait for the release (especially given the ongoing circumstances). Then again, people are dumb… :roll_eyes:

Anyways, a bit of a follow-up:

Also should be stated that this leak build depending on where you get it has malware with it. So patience for the funny Russian game or suffer a virus.

They cracked it though and it’s very much “playable”, not to mention its content such as models, levels, scripts, audio etc. are accessible

You’d be surprised if you’d visit Russian sites and see how much hatred most of them have for GSC :frowning_face:

If only but no one had mentioned a virus from what I saw on VK

You just insulted a lot of Ukrainians with that one :stuck_out_tongue:

Ouch… Well, again, here´s hoping the vast majority of fans will ignore this for the devs´ benefit. We don´t need another Lost Alpha :no_mouth:

One more reason for me not to visit Russian sites :joy: Sad to hear though… Could it just be the extreme minority and/or trolls? :frowning_face:

Would they?

Well why wouldn’t someone that downloaded the build not warn the others that there’s malware in the files? It seems that a lot of people already downloaded it and are sharing footage on VK and are talking about it on AP-PRO, biggest STALKER website out there. If there was something screwy, they would know.

Shame Microsoft and GSC can’t do anything about this. :pensive:

I’ll take that with a grain of salt :sweat_smile: Will be nice for the moody autumn days though if it comes out.

I don’t know if having Vanilla Stalker on consoles without the Community fixes is a good thing, like yea you get Vanilla Stalker which isn’t inherently bad and has a few issues and jank, but having the option to use something like the Complete Mod would of be nice.

We don’t talk about that

Yeah, it’s what I’m curious the most about these ports if they’re the vanilla busted experience (Clear Sky being the worst pffender) or include community fixes. :thinking:

Nope, first time I´m seeing this. Been only getting FFVII:R commercials on TV.

There was a time when I thought that those graphics were amazing for a mobile game :grin:

This addon for Lost Alpha: DC just got released. It replaces the driving system and adds an insane amount of very high detailed vehicles to the game

This driving system is so good now that someone can make a racing game with the game engine :sweat_smile:

Here´s hoping it won´t be an issue to use Russian/Ukrainian audio with EN/CZ subtitles :crossed_fingers:
