In shadow of Chornobyl, does anyone know how to get past the electrical anomalies in the sewers under “the garbage”? (What a great name for an area in a game) throwing a bolt or running seems to do nothing.

This sounds like Agroprom underground, but if there’s an electrical tunnel right after you fought some bandits you’ll find yourself on the other end of it while exploring. So i think it’s, at best, a shortcut to the other side of the underground facility.

Edit:
The best way to get past electrical anomalies in general is to find artifacts that up your electrical resistance.

iirc in SoC you can stack electric resist artifacts to the point that, instead of hurting you, anomalies just charge your electrical devices

I’m doing the same on steam deck right now while I play stalker on console. Amazing games. The third one is the best though, exodus is god tier. Like probably in my top ten games of all time.

Got this downloaded and ready to fire up at whatever ungodly hour the switch flips on. The Atari 50 and Karateka collections are pure gold.

I've still got an iPad 3 sitting here for the sole purpose of playing the old Llamasoft iOS games. This is my GOTY and it's not even out yet.

I feel the opposite. Exodus is a fantastic game, but I love the tunnels and stations and weird mystical business with Kahn that Exodus loses. God tier trilogy

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Sadly it doesn't have the pocket pc stuff, but that's all free to download on pc if you want to play a mspaint-graphics lawnmowing arcade game where half the sound effects are profanities in a regional accent.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

Dumb question: I get the daily desktop Bing Rewards searches at work on my break. This week I was migrated from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 22. I installed Edge but the searches don't seem to give any points, and my total points is showing as '3' on Bing, while the Rewards screen shows the correct 8000+.

Has anyone run into this?

The game is actually that big even on Series S, no idea why, although I think on the Xbox One versions it’s more like 110 gigs.

My girlfriend bought me Avatar and it's probably the best Far Cry game since 4. They really did a great job with creating some new mechanics that make the whole "native" thing seem woven into the gameplay loop.

I'm not even crazy about the lore of the movies (I think they're pretty) but its setting is wild. The environment is hella impressive and, again, they do a stellar job of making it a part of who you are.

It's Ubisoft so grab it on sale but I like it.

Having played the most recent FarCry and second most recent Assassins Creed by just waiting for them to turn up on Game Pass, I would strongly advise patience.

There are no good sports games anymore, which is super unfortunate.

But the best of the bad sports games, The Show comes out next week! And of course it's Game Pass.

And you can be a lady in Road to the Show! I cannot express how embarrassingly happy that makes me.

No good sports games, but apparently the latest SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT game is actually good, after some major doozies over the last few years. I am intrigued, as somebody who loved No Mercy and the early Smackdowns.

Couple of dumb Shadow of Chernobyl questions, since a few of you guys in here seem to have played a bunch.

1.The equipped weapons slots seem to have a certain amount of useable space in the grid, but as far as I can tell it's just pistol/primary. Is there actually some way to equip say, a shotgun or SMG as my secondary? Or is that visual space in the inventory just superficial?

2. Is it ever worth buying weapons? That barkeep dude has some sick looking guns, but they don't actually use ammo I'm currently finding lying around the world, so I figure I'd just run out and be sol. Guess I'm wondering if any of the sold guns are unique or if those are just guns that will be lying all over the ground in a couple of hours. Currently I'm thinking it's probably best to just save my cash to replace my Stalker suits after they degrade.

Its UBISofts best game in quite awhile. It was really good on PC too. I actually compare it more to Crysis because you have essentially super human strength and powers that are similar to some of the gameplay mechanics in that series.
