Welcome to the /Zone/

STALKER/STALKER 2 Discussion thread

After seeing it pop up again, it made me actually want to finish Shadows of Chernobyl and try out Call of Pripyat (and the mod Call of Chernobyl)

after giving SoC a 2nd chance, its actually honestly entertaining (with a needed damage increase mod ontop of playing Master difficulty), i have to say that preferring Warsaw pact firearms is a definite must over anything else

current kit is:

>Duty body armour
>AK-74 with GP-25 launcher
>desert eagle
>2x sparkler, 2x flash, 1x Pellicle

>needing mods to enjoy one of the best games ever made

There's no reason not to use mods. Vanilla has enough broken shit.

I'm hoping the game will still play like a military sim-lite. metro firefights just do not feel anywhere as engaging as STALKER

> preferring Warsaw pact firearms
Not like you have much of a choice until Yantar and by Army Warehouses NATO guns blow all of the slavshit out of the water.

Reminder that Mercs are the best faction

I'm just hoping it will be as moddable as previous stalker games, then no matter what Stalker 2 will be, gods will be able to turn it into whatever you want

double barrel shotgun blast actually kills tho

It really doesn't. ZRP is useful but not necessary.

true

I'm not giving Sergei any more money.

Playing call of pripyat now. AC96/2 is my weapon of choice. Got robbed by Snag, can't wait until I catch that nog.

Mercs are the only ones with the brains enough to not stay in the zone forever. Finish the contract, do the dirty work, and get out before it's too late. A life spent raising a family with the roubles earned from artifacts and killing others, worrying your wife as she sees you toss and turn in nightmares, and never telling stores about what went on in the zone until your son is a grown man is a better life than any life you will ever find in the zone.

GUNSLINGER OR SHOKER 3 FUCKING WHEN BOYS

but the zone will forever call out to anyone to get away from this hellish reality called life

>damage increase mod
But why? You can kill most peeps with one headshot from an appropriately chambered gun.

>Whoring yourself out for money when the Zone is continuously expanding
Accept the inevitable. Join Monolith.

Loner for life

A lot of people CAN'T leave the zone for being wanted men. And you can't really leave for shithole South America to escape being wanted without crossing the entire eastern block. So in a way the Zone is a sort of self contained prison where you can never really leave if you've done some fucked up shit.

im waiting for olr 3

>ontop of playing Master difficulty

Master doesnt make you do more damage. That is a myth that has been debunked several times. Of course redditors and youtubers would like for you to believe otherwise.

Attached: stalker_difficulty~01.png (1034x552, 79K)

Why did this take off. Because I noticed it too. Master difficulty genuinely seems to be the better difficulty and it's apparent as far in as the first firefights, so what actually changes if not the damage to cause that?

there's a website and one piece of digital art (OP image).

that's all.

redpill me on what this is. art looks like a stalker romance novel

Ya. It's just an announcement though, it's a few years out.

>microscopic FoV and headbob are acceptable in ANY PC game

Can't you just change those from the console? I don't remember.

Not as far as I know, I think only CoP had that, but CoP is much more polished and actually doesn't need modding.

I think a lot of people only played the first few missions in STALKER SoC/CoP, used the godawful starter weapons, thought that enemies were bullet sponges and gave up.

Then they retried the game on Master because that's what everyone says, and gave the game a real try. They got the good weapons, got headshot instakills on enemies and parroted the claim that there was a clear difference.

Its the greatest mod ever made

Wakanda I think

I played SoC and finished it. Enjoyed it throughly.
Which of the 2 left has an more urban setting? I want to go to building and snipe from there.

call of pripyat, but not really until later in the game. there is literally a sidequest there where you snipe someone from a window

Call of Pripyat. You can enter a decent amount of buildings in Pripyat, though I can't promise you'll always have something to snipe.

Clear Sky is kind of weak, it was rushed and shows, but Call of Pripyat is considered the best mechanically of the three and it is just what you want. More of it takes place in urban environments than SoC at least.

inb4 it never releases

CoP sidequests were absolute kino, and I really wish a kind-hearted modder would implement similar quests into CoC instead of relying completely on auto-generated missions.

Nice, thanks.
Also, is Call of Chernobyl worth trying?

If you still want more after playing all three games, sure. Personally, I found it a bit boring and empty, but some people like it.

It's fun if you've played the real games and are stuck waiting for STALKER 2 to never come out. Also fun if you enjoy really autistic mods like Misery™.

CoC is a meme mod just like all other "freeplay" walking simulators. Play NS or OLR.

Clear Sky is good fun and not to be skipped. Only fags skip it.

>NS
>OLR
Could you please tell me what these two mean?

>NS
Narodnya Solyanka – A compilation or "soup", as it's called, of russian mods thrown together and poorly translated into English. Adds a shit ton of new content to the game and is very difficult, but also a ton of fun.
>OLR
Oblivion Lost Remake – attempt to recreate the old 2003 build of the game. Has that comfy early 2000s feel.

Anyone knows how is Chernobylite and if it's similar to STALKER?
