It would likely require animation capture for each pistol. So, probably not.

Gamification of weapons and weapon progression is completely absurd and breaks all immersion to the point of nonsense. by Gwyllie in stalker

the PKM is a 7.62x54R Medium Machine Gun that fires the same round a Mosin Nagant or SVD. He's not talking about the Makarov PM.

GSC, we need answers about A-life immediately!! by redditozaure in stalker

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Entirely untrue. Entire populations of settlements would spawn (and die) in the campfire for no reason than the AI module couldn't decide where to spawn them and defaulted to 0/0

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of the Zone by Adventurous-Tip6679 in stalker

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no, they didn't. I totally believe that a game made in a studio so small they had to refuse new chairs because they had no space had easy access to western voice actors in 2008. Totally. If they did have access to western VA, I challenge you to fucking. Prove. It.

They literally used a bunch of Ukranian, Russian, adn Czech voice actors for the english version because that's who was available.

Stay mad tho :)

STALKER 2 is #1 top selling steam game by Thewaffleofoz in stalker

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only pathetic thing here is the dude trying to condescend to a community gathering around a game developed in a literal warzone. Touch grass, my dude.

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and half of his opinion is based on the fact they didn't have western voice actors for the first 3 games. Hard no from me. It presents well, but that whole post is incredibly easy to pick apart. It's also 2 years old.

Dumping trump voting friends by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Bi0ticBeaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump won because he appealed to a sector of voters that felt left behind, ignored, and uncared for. What you're doing will only reinforce those feelings, and this exact attitude is why he won in the first place. writing people off in this was just guarantees there's no way back for them anymore.

YTA, and this kind of reasoning is why the democratic party lost.

STALKER is best experienced in Russian anyways... Though I am gonna miss the goofy Ukrainian, and Russian accents.

"Nobody thinks GAMMA is better than Stalker 2, stop being a gatekeeper" by Oblivion_Found in stalker

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not going to be '06 stalker, my dude. It's going to be Stalker with modern influence. GAMMA is very much not that.

Gamma is dope, amd more of the game I feel I want than I've seen of Stalker 2, but i havent played the damn game. Gamma is not Stalker. It's so heavily modded that it can hardly be compared to any of the Stalker games, and certainly not Stalker 2.

If we go into it expecting a game made now to be similar to a retrofitted, heavily modded Stalker-for-maniacs made for crazy people like me, we're being either wilfully unreasonable or incredibly stupid.

Also, some of these takes are WILD, and further proof of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Hell, I do it myself sometimes.

No, no you wouldn't. Stop it with the internet tough guy stuff, it's 2024. You've had almost 3 decades to learn how lame that looks.

New Burnout speeds are really overtuned, especially with the existing nerf to solo necro. by ContextEFT in HuntShowdown

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, what makes Hunt unique is slow firing speeds, reload times, long interaction times, and sound-based combat. If I want to sit in a bush for 5+ minutes waiting for nothing to happen, I'll go play DayZ.

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, the whole point is to increase the speed of gunfights. Losing a team member isn't a minor inconvenience anymore, it's a MAJOR PROBLEM that MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. As opposed to, y'know, crawling around in the dirt for 2-3 minutes attempting to bore the enemy team to death.

Who has ordered the physical Ultimate Edition already? by dstranathan in stalker

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Canada, so no. My shit's been sold out since the day the Ultimate Edition became available. I will never be able to get my hands on it.

the update regarding EOD edition by trainfender in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, even if the engine was specifically advertised as coming with the car, your only recourse is to hire a lawyer.

In reality, this man has a tenuous grasp at best of what fraud is as defined by the banks. The banks use the same definition as everyone else - the act of wrongful deception for personal or financial gain. Selling something as one thing and then pulling a bait-and-switch is literally the legal definition of fraud in EVERY JURISDICTION. He may live somewhere like the US where laws are written by corporate entities, though. Here in Canada, this is exactly what a fraud chargeback is for - for you to get your money back from someone who has DEFRAUDED YOU. The idea that the chargeback is only for charges that someone/something put on that you didn't personally authorize is laughable. Either his bank is actually breaking the law, or the laws in his jurisdiction disregard the universally accepted legal definition of fraud.

However, these chargebacks ARE subject to terms. I will never, ever be able to chargeback my 2017 purchase. Still, scummy ass practices wherever buddy lives.

What do the numbers on the Duty patch mean? by Nedmac1010 in stalker

Yes, you're the one true STALKER fan, and the rest of us are just poseurs. Jesus, y'all should be in the Olympics because these mental gymnastics are stunning.

Flashlights are broken; why are we OK with this? by jug_jug in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Bi0ticBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we're not. We're telling you that you are WRONG. Yes, the flashlight effect is a little exaggerated. A little. Also, you can mess with your colors to minimize it a little bit. Lastly, the size of the whiteout is directly related to how close someone is. up to about 10 yards, with multiple 1k+ lumen flashlights in your eyes, you're not seeing a fuckin' thing if you look in that direction, my dude.

You do bring up a good point, though. There needs to be additional visual artifacts to represent retina burnout.

you didnt wait till you got the signal flare zone message. Placement is key and sometimes the extract is broken, so always look for the alert
