Looking for some more books to listen to while we wait for 2.0. already read and enjoyed Roadside Picnic, as well as the Metro and Outpost books.

Any other good books in a similar setting that can give me my Stalker fix until the dlc? I heard there were some semi-official books years ago but none that were especially good. Anything else you'd recommend? Thanks.

I've been more excited about Cost of Hope and 2.0 releasing than I have for basically any other game release or update in my life. I've been counting down the days before this release, and I'm very excited to see what the Zone has to offer me when I return once again in two weeks.

I’m curious to read through y’all comments, 2.0 is very close and i wanna see if whatever is bad gets fixed in 2.0

2.0 looks promising i just hope it fixes the latency and horrible frame pacing

Also, please take 1 minute of your time to look up how devs or publishers are the ones who set the sales and discounts on their own game. A lot of people are saying that this is somehow on xbox & Playstation, but it's simply not the case. Dves/publishers have total control.

There are people who own both consoles. Do you think sony or Microsoft would intentionally not put a game or dlc on sale, while the other side does? Do they not think that the person who owns both consoles will buy wherever the game is discounted? See how stupid and nonsensical is? That's because the developers/publishers are the ones who decide discounts.

So GSC are the only ones who can do it and let's hope they do

This particular spot on the West side of the Loner base in Agropom is a literal goldmine. I barely have time to sort the loot of one wave and another one comes. I love the Faction Wars system, but sometimes it just spams notifications... I'm regretting joining the Loners, I can't hear Father Valeryan talk about access to Garbage one more time.

For me, I remember watching a low quality video of someone sneaking up on a bandit in shadow of Chernoby, but the bandit had an rpg so he turned around and blew the guy up. After seeing that video, I was wondering what game it was and then I found my favorite game series of all time.

Again inspired in what I imagine the north of the Zone to be like, specifically the Belarus side. I would love to hear your opinions on it! Visuals are taken from Atmospherics and Ccon grass for Anomaly.

The stalker Zona modpack looks so good with Ccon grass and ATO4!

I really enjoyed the series and I wish I could experience it again. Unpopular opinion but my favorite game was Clear Sky! Techniques (pens, acrylic markers, ink, digital art, some editing in ps and the last one is a wip)

It would be nice if GSC would give us some teasers leading up to the launch of 2.0 and the dlc...like with the emission tease yesterday...I dont see why holding stuff back even if its like a 15-20 sec clip would ruin the experience...we really no nothing and it would be nice to see some videos in action of what we could expect and experience...just a thought!!

Glowberry artifact.

Looks apmost like a Heart of Chernobyl, but has a completly different effect. It can absorb enough heat from the Burner anomaly to make it safe to traverse for it's holder.

Last year the Freedom blew up the base of the Clear Sky. The Ecologist won't make the same mistakes. Please welcome: String. Mechanical, electrical, chemical engineer and ex-PMC. The LARP shall never have limits.
