Did you actually play it on anything but master? The hardest difficulty is literally the only way to play it because the game was built with that in mind

>Some reddit faggot tells me to "upgrade your GPU"
What the fuck, do they think I have a dual degree in engineering and computer science? fucking hell it's so soulless these days with needed to spend hours and hours just to know how to use a computer

I was playing on hardest difficulty but trying to kill anything that's further away than 100 feet is a chore

Even me, a literal fucking Zoomer had no issue with it on Master, retard. Kys yourself and leave this board.

>March 20, 2007
Holy shit it aged like putrid milk compared to the games from that time, color me surprised if Yea Forums is shilling shit games

>Playing on easy
The games difficulties are rigged, and 'easy' is arguably harder than 'master'. The player character and enemies are considered the same 'type', so while you get a health buff, so do they. In addition, enemies bullets sometimes just disappear when shot on easy difficulties. Unfortunately, so do yours.

tl;dr Master difficulty = Only decent difficulty

What's a good complete overhaul mod for the STALKER games? I tried Misery and it was predictably miserable.

No other game has that atmosphere, that gunplay and AI.

>enemies bullets sometimes just disappear when shot on easy difficulties. Unfortunately, so do yours
No they don't.

Git gud you fucking pleb

Reasonable enough, might've read too much into your post since you called yourself a zoomer. Glad to see at least some zoomers getting into actually good video games. Be sure to try some of the better mods if you haven't already and enjoyed the base games.

I joined Duty in my last play through.

Last time I played this game I got stuck in a deathloop in the sewers early on. I really enjoyed the game up to thst point but getting thst shit sucked. I think ill give it another go

Reminder that the master difficulty is a placebo but still it is the true way to play stalker

All of the legitimate problems and you choose to make this shit instead.

None, somehow the game worked fine on a modern PC wit W10 for me, if you somehow have issues with the game then install the Zone Reclamation Project.
You don't need anything else for your first time.

Nothing, just play vanilla with latest patch.

user don't you know you can't actually criticize any game harder than bing bing wahoo here because if the game is hard, then that means it can not be bad and you just have to git gud. Trust me I've been on r/darksouls to know that

Go back then :^)

weapon inaccuracy you fag

Alright STALKERS, confess your sins.

I've only beaten every STALKER game once, Zone of Alienation for SoC, Clear Sky with Reclamation, and I work Alone for CoP. The rest of my game-time has been playing vanilla/modded to various degrees on each game.

You're acting as if Stalker is a difficult game, but apparently you've been playing too much Call of Duty

>Needs a degree in computer science to mod a game
Confirmed room temperature IQ.

It's fine, you can still go back to the vanilla versions and try to play them
Clear Sky is my favourite of the three games.

>how to sport the console shitter
take cover and use binoculars you tard, this game is easy if you take basic safety steps when engaging ennemies, look the fuck around, stop runing and gunning, use the fuking lean function and pick your fights if you know your ass is about to get stuffed with pinapples.

The ending levels are a stain on this game. They should have made some sort of super mutant boss fight.

reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/7fxvt5/what_do_difficulties_actually_change_in_stalker/

Don't buy guns it's a ripoff. Use shotgun/smg and ambush people close range until you can loot an l85 or g36.

I have only played all the games (on vanilla) once.

For some reason I just can't bring myself to keep going after Cordon, the charm of stalker is that I keep exploring and discovering crazy shit and I felt that there's no point to keep playing since I have already been "spoilered" and the best gun is locked until the last 10 hours of the game.

Any way to fix stashes not having anything in them and staying on map and PDA being green even though I've read it thousand times. Literally makes the game unplayable.

>quicksave before going into area
Wow that was so hard

Just save every 10 minutes and quick save during fights lmao.

You are already dead to me so it isn't any different.

Since around like 2009 onward ive beaten SoC twice, CS twice, and CoP 4 times, but still put most of my time playing split up between CoC, Anomaly and Dead Air. Dead Air being the most and the best because you can carry a glowstick or lighter with or without a pistol in the other hand, being able to look down and see your body, have a gas mask overlay with working water droplets when it rains and the ability to wipe rain water droplets off my gas mask.

Fuck, I can't help but want to explore every nook and cranny and go from map to map. Lost Alpha was a godsend to me because it added so much greenery and changed the maps wildly.
I've tried multiple iterations of Misery and stuff (only enjoyed 1.2) and even tried the mod for CoC which I partially could enjoy as well but I might have to try Dead Air. That sounds fucking cool. I'm really happy what CoC has done for the modding community.

Go to the Wild Territory and get yourself something to aim a little better with.

Whatever you wanna believe dude. But I guess nobody has been here longer than you. Seriously there are other things in life outside of Yea Forums. Get some help.

Not comparable, they both have great gunplay, atmosphere and artistic direction though.
Neat music too.
But they really are two different beasts, you can make yourself absolutely OP in EYE, but that still makes it fun, if you could make yourself OP in STALKER that would take away the fun.

I remember my playthroughs getting softlocked at least twice. Once in Garbage with the faction wars and another time with the ecologist bunker staying permanently locked.

Reddit has been better than Yea Forums overall the last 2 years. Maybe if you weren't such a tryhard faggot you would recognize that.

Hey guys, I think the Stalker games are lots of fun but I have a really bad memory due to a severe alcohol problem in the past. I know I beat them, but I only remember a tunnel with a shotgun and a dead guy near some mountains/hills with a rail track, a building or series of with lots of choppers and high end gear and a tower with lots of those spooky brain guys. Sorry this is so non-descript. Which game was it?
Also, Metro isn't the same and Exodus is kinda weak. But 2033 was really fucking cool, at least vanilla.

>corporate-friendly circlejerk is "better than Yea Forums overall the last 2 years"

Get out of here stalker

When did Yea Forums get so bad at videogames?

The bad aspects of anonymous posting have become apparent the last few years with discord raids and shitposting that is at a worse point than it ever was before.

No one will understand why, but Ive managed to create an amazing controller scheme for xpadder to play STALKER Dead Air mod effortlessly, besides scrolling through invemtory is kinda slow, but fitting for realism I guess. But theres nothing like sitting back on the couch and playing modded stalker on my big tv with no lights on a rainy evening while its also raining in game.

That's what happens when enemy notices you before you notice them you casual fucktard

Nothing makes my dick harder than a properly done Groza.
Will do, thanks!
I had the same issues with fucking CoP mods. Would keep getting save corrupts when I tried to move from the Skadovsk to the Trainyard area. Pissed me off to no end.

Stalker is better
I like EYE but it needs a bit more depth, it's basically just fighting bots in gmod.

This is the first post you made that I agree with.

The difference here is that I would rather tolerate a million Yea Forums shitposts than engrossing myself in a community where people willingly regurgitate lies and dumb opinions and you can't call them out for being the retarded nigger monkeys that they rightfully are.

>corporate friendly circlejerk
>hey Yea Forums check out this very obvious clickbait article/video that I totally didn't make
>300 replies

The AI really is the weak point of EYE, and one strong point of STALKER.
I know some guy will post a .webm showing the AI acting like retards, but in the bigger picture it's really quite neat how it interacts with the world.

this post makes me really happy for some reason. thanks user.

I also don't, I just really like the SGI-5k. The blunt 'thud' firing sound it makes is one of my favourite weapon sounds of all time.
Top quality taste in rifles. I murdered the Duty guys at the bar for one and it was worth every one of the many attempts it took to pull it off.

I've seen a few vids on it, still haven't tried it.

GUNSLINGER FUCKING WHEN

There is no CNPP level in CoP, did you mean the underground? You also can't go there in normal play unless you have a SEVA suit.

Yaah go back playing... whatever Call of Duty came out that year, tell me how great that looks in comparison

>see emmeny
>years of gaming clicks into place, instantly calculate bullet drop and windage and know just where to hold to pop that sucker int he head

Apart from character models which are far better looking, COD4 kind of looks worse.

Clear Sky was trash and I could never get past the first two areas, CoP was great though, don't know why anyone would hate it.

>This makes me sad.
Sorry, I was ignorant. I don't even know how I found out about SoC initially; it was long before I came to Yea Forums and my friends didn't play it. So I just Googled what the essential mod was to make it run well and went with the first choice.
>Also isn't your pic from Darkwood?
Yeah. Closest thing I've found to STALKER in terms of the "spirit" of the series. Highly recommend it to STALKER fans if the top-down perspective isn't a dealbreaker.

You're a pussy if you use mods, by the way.

What the fuck were they thinking, I was about to quit the game from motion sickness before I realized you could turn it off with the console

It's laughably easy to kill enemies in long distance late-game. You have to get up-close and personal with everything at the start of the game, the guns you get there are hot garbage.

>100% SoC with ZoA
That's an impressive feat in itself

CoD4 was the last decent CoD though

>you are a pussy if you want something new
now realize how fucking retarded you are

I wish I could handle the stress of Darkwood and its seemingly finite resources.
There are -tons- of good mods for it my dude.
It was a long time ago but it was fucking hilarious, it was bugged to the point of me being able to spawn 7.62x54r at a whim just by emptying a magazine, the 10 rounds I tried to empty only ended up spawning 10 magazines. That, and the optics had as much zoom as the vanilla scope. Was a fun time, aside from the crashes via controller spawns and shit earlier.

>see enemy

CoD4 already had everything in it that people bashed the later entries for
the only good thing was the novelty of the setting

That's retarded. Mods are to spice up new playthroughs on old games.

Level up your reaction time senpai.

nice consolepleb mentality

>seemingly finite resources.
They’re both technically and effectively infinite.
Every day the traders restock their inventory, and you get currency with them just for surviving the night.
And while it is true that each map has a set layout/resources, I would often overflow my workbench storage with them and have to start shoving stuff in dressers/wardrobes. Unless you're just idling in one base and looting the same area for 10+ days you shouldn't feel like you're running out.
The point of the game is to escape the woods, not make a long-term base.

Good job. Why not play something else entirely? STALKER itself offers more than enough replayability.

The only reason people installed mods in the first place is they were too bad at the game, so they needed shit to makes things easier.

Dead Air has better features for immersion like lighters and glow sticks, and being able to see your feet, gas mask overlay with water droplets and ability to wipe them away. All these add a lot to immersion, but Anomaly has more you can do in the sense that you can install addons that give you actual story content and things to do while dead air is essentially a harder, and the most immersive CoC mod. I tend to switch back and forth when I jst want to do some stalkan I go Dead Air, but if I wanna stalk with something to do, I go Anomaly.
