Yeah they're definitely more likely to give you vaporware. I've played and looked up enough slavjank to have faith on Russian game devs without even seeing gameplay.

Overcome your fears, user. Arm yourself to the teeth, study your enemies, understand them and kill them in all the ways possible.

any recommendations for CoP mods? Ideally just visual ones, I want the original experience but if I can make it look better no reason not too

*dumps 7.62x51 into them while screeching inaudibly and standing on a rock*

Just grab the mods in the "Eye Candy" folder in the stalker general CoP mega archive. They all work together. I think.
CoP works very well without any patches compared to CS and SoC.

No, the guns like shit and the human npcs look all stumpy like stretched gnomes and they walk funny. The environments are nice but everything else looks aged.

The only thing from Stalker that really fucked me up is when you go into this innocuous farm area and there were about 2 or 3 of these pig body-human face things called flesh chilling in the stables. Scared the shit out of me because they bait you into looting that barn and you turn around and these assholes are face first in your camera

CoC has addon quest mods.

I don't know user it sounds like another slav soup mod to me.

I bought a physical copy, which is the only way to buy a game, of Call of Prypyat because it is an actual physical copy which means it doesn't require any online activation/authorization at any point.

Look, i'm just trying to be the hypeman of the situation.
I've been playing Stalker since i was a teenager, and i have played every single fucking game and mod made for this game.
Last time i played Stalker there were some really fucking retarded modpacks for CoC like Last Days, Fallen Earth and Call of Misery.
All of those were absolute garbage, and i regret the time spent trying to figure out how these shits work.
The Chernobyl HBO show made me come back for shit and giggles, and i discovered that absolute fantastic experience that is Anomaly.
This is why i'm "shilling" it so hard, it's possibly the best Stalker experience available right now, perfect for newcomers (it's completely free) and old fans of the original games as well.
EVERYONE should give it a try, it's a masterpiece.

Hey:

I have over 4k hours in each stalker game plus a lot more into all kinds of mods but SoC is just the best stalker game, period. nothing surpasses the gloomy, dark and heavy atmosphere and overall feel of the game, I wish CS and CoP had the same ''vibe'' to them. when you think of stalker, you think SoC.

I tried to play the first stalker game but the map is so tiny. I was told it was open world but it's just narrow paths with fences. Does it actually get a wide open map after the beginning?

Lab x18 was terrifying with the other humans. I swear I clear the whole thing and am alone for like 3 minutes, then out of nowhere while I'm in my inventory a guy jumps from out the corner and shoots me dead

The 1.5.0 beta is 500MB, user.
You still need the original 1.3.1 release and the two minor updates, 1.3.3 and 1.4.0.
It's 15 gigs total, there are torrents around.

everyone knows the general's pasta is outdated shit,hopefully someone can put together a updated version soon

Not him but I agree with your sentiments about it being a great mod, but saying it's perfect for newcomers is wrong in my opinion. I think if someone is serious about giving the games a try then they should start with SoC with bugfixes and maybe graphics mods if they're stingy about that kind of stuff. I don't think that starting with something like Anomaly is the best way for someone to actually experience STALKER, they should at least experience the game as intended to fully appreciate all the of the new features/changes mods bring.

removing the beep, and even the minimap, is a chad as fuck move
really gears you to never let down your guard unless you have thoroughly cleared an area. Fucking based my guy.

SoC is the most singleplayer and streamlined title, so you won't get much free roam and diversity without mods. CoP is the game with huge open maps and somewhat active alife

never forget

Attached: mj3fm9jguegx.jpg (3024x3780, 2.07M)

I've heard the difficulty in the first game was messed up and the recommended setting is Master. Is this true? Though for a game like this, it seems like the way to go.

Ahh. Sounds good. I've been playing CoC so long, but didn't know this existed.

I recently restarted Shadow of Chernobyl on the max difficulty and it's a bit of a slog, I don't remember the guns feeling this terrible or the world this small.

Currently stuck on that bit right beyond the shed showdown, because there's an open field with bandits and I swear any enemy that's more than 3 feet away may as well be on the other side of the fucking moon for how feasible they are to hit. I remember just luring them in and bottlenecking them on my last playthrough.
Weird.

Based shill user. I actually want to check out the mod now

it's no stalker but for my dick it'll do

Last thing, it's a standalone mod like CoC, right? Don't feel like redownloading CoP if I can help it.

Is ANOMALY standalone or do I need to mod a game

Metro is decent but not anywhere near as good as stalker

The problem is that those games are still 12 years old.
They are extremely dated and hard to digest, especially SoC.
A ton of people are instantly repelled by the graphics and the bugs, given most of them don't even bother ask the general for the ZRP patch.
I agree completely with your post, i too think people should start with the trilogy with fixes in order to enjoy the pure core stalker experience.
But that shit is really really fucking old man.
The zoomers of Yea Forums don't give a shit about that stuff.

I bought one recently too because someone in a stalker thread a week or two ago mentioned that CoP was an actual physical. Thank you to whoever mentioned that.

Yes of course.
Downloading all the files might be a chore, but it's definitely worth it.

Neat

It doesn't hurt to try it if you like Stalker.
You will be easily impressed.

same premise but different kind of games, hardly comparable. Metro is more narrative and action set piece driven with some good atmosphere where stalker's atmosphere and setting is the narrative

Good game, but not that similar apart of being slav games.

Stalker's one of my favorite series. Is there a torrent that compiles it all or something? Or at least a site I can go to find a torrent

You can fix it, user.
It's literally one of the most downloaded addons.
Unless of course you're talking about the weapon parts mechanics with upgrades, that is kinda annoying i'll have to give you that, but it gives some sort of depth to the mod.
Plus, the next update will give you an option to disable it.
Or you can just download an addon that disables it already, tho it's probably really glitchy.

I miss the Stalker threads of yore where anons were posting screenshots and greentexting the latest shenanigan they underwent thanks to A-Life and mods like AMK.

I do see your point and maybe it's just my mentality, but I don't I could understand not wanting to play the vanilla version of a game but would gladly start with a modded version. It's not like the core gameplay is drastically different and you won't have any introduction to the world at all, it just seems odd that people are like that.

Either way i'll probably start playing some anomaly again either soon or whenever the full 1.5 releases. I think it's been around a year or so since I last played it.

>A woman

>porn of her yet?

Probably one of the very few cons of the modpack is the fact that the modder refuses to release a "complete" repack until he's done updating the whole thing.
He said it's coming probably this summer, but we do not know for sure.
So yeah, your best option is to arm yourself with infinite patience and download all of these from the moddb page.
Or wait until he makes the repack.

I do remember having to repeatedly shoot enemies in the head over and over to down them, so it does speed up fights a tad nicely.

Compared to FEAR on the highest difficulty, where you'd have to get right up close to enemies and unload half a fucking SMG magazine directly into their heads to get them to ragdoll while they kill you in two hits. Ridiculous. Still beat it though.

Howdy there cowboy

Everyone has seen everything and done everything at this point.

Now the only people left playing stalker are those that install a new broken shitmod or slight variation of CoC every week to try and chase that faded dopamine hit.

It's its own package, but you can download addons.
moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons
I have never completed vanilla SoC because I downloaded OL 2.2 back in 2008 or 9 and never looked back.

Yikes. Imagine being as jades as this monkey fella.

It's standalone user, you just download it, unpack it and play straight away.
If you don't have the bullshit CoP registry key (but you should already if you have played CoC in the past), you can ask the general for the fix.
You should DEFINITELY ask the general for the addons, since they're handpicked and improve the experience by a large margin.

Its not really problem though
SoC is one of the game where higher difficulty is also affect both you and enemies
so if Master = 2x HP and Damage, then you and enemies will benefit from it. Its kinda your aiming skill actually will help you a lot as bullet ballistics they use also help to balance the difficulty.

CS is seriously underrated, operating in Limansk is some of the realest shit I've ever done in a game, not to mention how well situated the freedom and duty bases are for a proper war

as for length, I totally forgot because of how much time I spend just stalkin
Takes a while though I guess

BAH GAWD

How many times are they going to keep re-announcing stalker 2?

No you don't need mods.

Play Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.
It starts a bit slow because you're immediately hit with jank, it's a bit old. It's slavic. Just remember there's a reason these games are so loved.
It does start a bit slow, but try to get into it, into the atmosphere. Start by taking jobs to earn money. Just trust us that things improve from there.
Also the weapons are supposed to feel bad at the start. There's a good sense of progression with getting better weapons but it starts annoying. You have to get into it from a story perspective, you're new to the zone and have nothing yet.

The game has a great flow where it starts kind of sort of open world where you can do side quests to get better stuff, advance to different zones. But it eventually converges and becomes a linear shooter until the end. It's a great balance of everything.

>Are all the STALKER games worth it?
yes if you're not scared of playing dated games
>Do you really need to mod them to make it enjoyable?
no, just bugfixes
>How long is each one?
it depends on your playstile
can last up to 100++ hours if you get the hang of stalkan around
>I love post apocalypse settings like Metro and FO
then if you love the book and the movie, you will love this

Darkwood gets fucking goofy with shit like "eat wood to regenerate health" and the child genius quest sources.

It ended up losing me.

It's not on xbox, but I did just start Metro, and oh boy. I've only did the tutorial level, and I'm very interested. Wish I could start on Ranger Hardcore for the purest experience, but the game doesnt even tell you the controls, so I had no idea how to put my mask on.

Yeah what the other user said, it's a slow burn, but eventually you'll find yourself quickly leveling and getting better gear

>but the game doesnt even tell you the controls
RTFM
Or just look through key bindings in Controls for 10 seconds.

I've been playing Baldur's Gate and the hotkeys aren't even in the manual and there's no options for them, so that gets interesting.

Should I update all the way to 1.5 or should I stop at 1.4?

i can attest that this mod is top notch
it's the latest in a series of overhauls built off of the Call of Chernobyl framework
i am very impressed at how mindbogglingly customizable the difficulty settings are

I had to look it up because since it's not in even in the controls options. When you do find out, its dumb as hell. you have to open your inventory first, which is also invisible, so you dont know what button to press to take it out. Just gonna beat the game on hard and leave it at that.

All the way to 1.5.
The modder saying that "hurr no addons are supported" is just his way to bail out the shitstorm should you break the modpack with retarded addons.

one last question, should i play the games without mods first and only bug fixes? then do extra playthroughs after with mods?

Play it first vanilla or with mods that make it pretty if it looks bad for you. Playing with gameplay mods may make it difficult to play in vanilla down the line.

>and it's /k/'s wet dream when it comes to weapons
It's missing magazine management like Zone of Alienation had.

Can I just play Shadow of the Chernobyl or do I need to play the other games.

Is there any way to fix the misery/anomaly performance?
Most stalker mods run just fine oin my pc, but both anomaly and misery are incredibly choppy , stuttering, freezing shitfests with incredibly long loading times , to the point where they are pretty much unplayable.

You don't "need" to do anything in this world

You can just play SoC, it is the first game in the series. If you end up liking it, you'll probably want to play the rest anyways though.

What a retarded question. If you enjoyed SoC then why wouldn't you want to play the other games

dont go wild with video settings
anomaly is native x64, unless you're on a toaster your performance should be way better than misery's
grass in particular, while going full stalkan in 2 meters tall grass is comfy, it's the biggest performance killer

You need to play Clear Sky with the Complete Mod first. This is how we all do it

>you need to play the worst game of the series with the worst mod of the entire trilogy

You found the joke. Upvote for you m'sir

I did
finished soc and call of pripyat
and even though soc was good , cop was awesome, a wholesome cozy experience like how after doing major side quests all the other stalker will frequently leave you supplies .

does it fix crazy accurate enemies ? I don't mind if elite highly trained mercenary snipes me with his 5000usd pimped rifle, but when drunk bandit headshots me from 100m with rusty makarov, it kind of does ruin the immersion. And don't even get me started on superhuman grenade throwing skills every mod seem to add to the AI.

anyone else play the pure SLAV ZONE experience that is narodnaya solyanka? the mod is pretty nice and all but holy fuck it's like every other quest giver has a fucking joke quest
>so I want 30 perfect AK47s and 3000 rounds and in exchange I'll give you uhhhhh 10 cartons of cigarettes
>I want a PKM and 1000 rounds, some other rare gun and 1000 rounds, and TEN FUCKING MINIGUNS plus a nigger load of rounds for it, in exchange I'll give you another minigun that may or may not be 1% better :^)
>welcome to this new area buddy I know you had to earn your way to unlock a transition to this place but guess what now you have to earn your transition OUT of this place too faggot, now get me my fucking artifacts or get cozy because you aint leaving

Good thing Bannerlord went into the F&F beta phase yesterday, then. Release date reveal and closed beta test launch at Gamescom.

Anyone remember that terrible janky ass Stalker Online game? Man it was fun

Is there any mod that makes zone emptier? I mean come the fuck on, its crowded like disneyland.

Reading the STALKER RPG for tabletop guidebook made me want to kill myself knowing we'll never get a polished STALKER game with that level of exotic worldiness of Roadside Picnic. It'll always be a grey dingy shithole in Russia instead of something more colorful and dangerous.
Anomalies will always be easy to see electric traps or fire spouts instead of anything eccentric and daring. You'll never journey in and out of the zone into a world of unpredictable deadly obstacles, horrors, and breaks in reality to come back with treasure or loot. Instead it'll always be shooting some bad AI in 3D google maps.

Quick, claim your favorite mutant hunting weapon.

Clear Sky honestly painted the best image of the zone in the series, with anomalies having a vastly more visible affect on the environment around them and being invisible without proper gear making bolt-throwing a necessity.
Ingame stalkers always talk about navigating anomaly fields like it's some great feat when you can plainly see it and easily walk through.

Call of Piyat is the best one since the other two were too buggy for me.

I heard there are patches for them to clean them up for the most part but that being said, Call of Piyat is the best because it requires the least third party patch work.

I have like 500 hours across the three. Haven't played Anomaly since 2018. Has there been a lot of stuff added since? Maybe I'll just look for LURK 1.05 or something for some good old SOC. Besides AMK/AA2, what's a good, atmospheric SOC option?

Yes, there's been a massive improvement across the board. It's basically a conglomeration of the best in all the most popular mods rolled into one now. There's no reason to have anything else.

CoP is good, but SoC is still probably the most solid game in the series. The only 3rd party stuff you need is one(1) patch and it runs perfectly fine through the whole game.

I beat CoP recently but can't get into shit like CoC or Anomaly.

I did.
I hated it.

Ohhh this is stuff from the 1.5.0 beta isn't it? Looks cool. Guess I'll replace my old installation.

you think thats funny, just walk around at night and wait for the silent hill siren to start playing and overlapping itself several times over so that it's so loud that even gunfire is completely drowned out, then dozens of zombies spawn all around you including bloodsucker zombie hybrids

Son 100m and a drunken slav/russian out stalkin with his baby nugget is headshot range

>item bloat out the ass
>lengthy animations that add nothing
>no minimap
Anomaly is trash.

There's addons to fix all of that. They're the most popular ones.

>clear sky is the worst of the 3

Fucking PLEBIANS

Clear Sky

Which one removes all the superfluous items?

I'll give you the item bloat but you could disable the animations in the options last time I played (sometime in 2018 with Anomaly version 1.2). Also
>minimap in STALKER
ISHYGGT

Not enough buildings. I just want to explore comfy abandoned buildings full of mutated monsters.

This is what I had hoped CoP's Pripyat would be.
