Casuals bitched constantly since they kept dying to the bandits in the car park. Old Yea Forums loved it. Even moreso with stuff like ZRP, AMK, and Misery before it went full retard. Clear Sky got shit on, and rightfully so. CoP was loved as well. Newfags still come across and bitch the game is broken because "Wah bullets don't go exactly where I aim like a laser!", but Yea Forums loved this game.

Stalker secondaries who don't realize the trilogy exists and somehow think that when people talk about Stalker, they're reffering to CoCk. Same breed of retards who spout shitty memes like gopnik and cyka blyat 24/7.

STALKER is one of those games Yea Forums pretends to like to gain cred points

And for even more contrarianism, they claim only the first one (the shittiest one) is good.

Holy fucking SEETHING

Stop trying to speak to zoomers nufags

There's nothing realistic about it you fucking faggot.

Because it's a mod that actually adds shit besides "massive gun/texture mod #52356"? The 64-bit engine makes for a far less crashy experience on my end as well. Being able to fast travel removes all the boring parts of the game as well.

And those fags were told to save often.

it turns out that the reason I loved LURK 1.05 and refused to try anything else was because of the arsenal mod it uses, and maybe the HUD
what are other similar mods in terms of feeling that don't do retarded shit with the economy and make finding armor outside of stores impossible?

Did that weapon overhaul mod with new animations and ballistics get released for CoC yet?

see I played STALKER quite a bit when it came out.
It was NEVER good; it was just the only game in town when it came to freeroam FPS. All the things people shit on Bethesda for are present in STALKER x100.

Read the page for Anomaly, adds in 4 new quests.

Fucking how? It just reverses the Zone with you starting at the center and fighting your way outside. Your only merchant is in Pripyat. Fuck, Military and Bandit playthroughs are more fun. Zone is full of enemies for you but atleast you have some friends so you don't need to go by the see it=shoot it logic.

Anomaly 1.5 beta has a whole questline, that starts with Strelok supposedly returning to the zone. Haven't meet him yet, have to go deactivate the scorcher first.

CoC is the STALKER experience distilled. Get fugged.

THANK YOU MARKED ONE

Maybe in the beginning. But once you got some okay gear and sell a few artifacts, you are set.

I swear I see this exact fucking post every thread

CoC is potentially way harder than any Stalker game,just the ability to have Ironman modes makes a whole lotta difference.

Its just one guy that is obsessed with hating CoC for whatever reason.

It's just vanilla stalker with graphics mods, vanilla stalker kind of loses it's charm after you've found every single hidden item location and know them by memory. Also I couldn't stand how the pistol recoil animation makes it look like your shots are pulling to the left.

which one do you all recommend to start out with?

Shadow of Chernobyl with AMK 1.4

SoC with ZRP to get acquainted with the story and mechanics

Shadow of Chernobyl with ZRP

if its just that then i guess its probably not a good series for me
not wholly into the feeling of something constantly going over my head
i like the atmosphere, i like the weapons, and i like the concepts, but the way they are brought together just seems not lazy, but maybe halfhazardly strewn into itself with an air of the whole "figure it out" psuedo-elitism that sort of detracts from anything that isnt inherently simple from the get

Try getting the latest freeplay mod, Anomaly.
moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly
It's completely standalone; don't need any of the STALKER games to play it. You might like it more. I don't even play any of the series games anymore, myself. Just boot it up, drop in somewhere, and have at it. My ultimate go-to.

You're just an impatient retard with brain-rot from all the ritalin you took during your childhood.

I tried MISERY. And found out they didn't make shit difficult just more tedious.

Ah so this is the power of communism?

do you know what the word "it" means in the phrase "figure it out" from when i used it
>implying you cant be good at a game and hold opinions about it

Then go play the franchise in order if you don't want to be "figuring out" the in-universe lore by the 3rd game, retard.

or maybe the /vg/ guys have that stuff

Last time I played STALKER was when the latest Misery version was released (it's been a while I know). Is Anomaly just as tedious?

This is the correct answer for new STALKERs. It's the vanilla game with some bugfixes and minor annoyances removed(optional). I also like that you can set timescale to 1:1. Then you should give Clear Sky a try to understand the grenades meme. Then play CoP vanilla. Once you've played the vanilla experience and want more, you have many options. Pic related is old, but still useful.

Anomaly is the latest and most stable.

youtu.be/Atm0GwWs6lw

I played Pripyat. Wasn't that amazing and was pretty short. Don't see much reason to play the others now.

Its as tedius as you want it to be

Should've played SoC first

It has Misery root, but the tedium is adjustable?
Like running naked and scurrying for safety at any mention of a fight for 30 hours?
Can do
Want some stalkin' with more features?
Can do
And anything in between

It's Misery (or a fork of a fork of Misery) with it's own seperate balancing, and basically everything can be balanced to your desire through in-game menus.

Anomaly's goal isn't to make an uber realistic tough guy STALKER. More so an end-all, be-all synthesis of STALKER freeplay.
>Q. The game is too easy/hard for my taste, how can I change that?
>A. A variaty of options have been added in Anomaly 1.5 that allows the player to control a wide variety of difficulty aspects.
Load your current save, and go to "Extra Options" in the main menu, then check out "Progression Difficulty" and "Gameplay Difficulty"
"Progression Difficulty" options control the economy aspects in the Zone, while the latter affects the player character's abilities directly.
You can find a full explaination in the "Enyclopedia, Features" category.

>Q. The Zone feels empty most of the time, how can I fix that?
>A. Make sure that the "Offline Simulation" option is off. You can find it in Options (Main) -> Gameplay Settings
Then you can try increasing the population factors in the gameplay settings, keep in mind that the biggest effect happens when you start a new game. Otherwise, the Zone will takes time to be filled with stalkers and mutants.

my biggest issue is the clusterfuck that is the repair system. who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have 3+ ways of repairing every single piece of equipment but only one functional way (paying) since all the others require scouting super specific parts that require maintenance which in turn requires scouting maintenance materials.
God fuck this absolute clusterfuck

Wouldn’t be surprised if he put it in drive, hopped out, and watched it roll into a lake after seeing the estimate for his first 15k maintenance and upkeep on it.

well it should have loli npcs

Heres a question, why do you play STALKER?
Is it for exploran, shootan, missions, story?

I raise with slav shitposting bass
youtube.com/watch?v=dgLPpl91Eoo

Exploran>=shootan>=missions>story.

>scouting super specific parts
Just fucking harvest armor off of the dead, and break it down. Sell the shit you can't use, since materials are typically more accepted than damaged armor by traders. You need gas cylinders or exo-suit parts? Break down exo-suits. Obviously a cloth facemask won't do you any good if you are looking for filter parts. I make more rubles selling armor parts and ammo for weapons I don't use than anything else. With the new version removing Worn and Rusted weapons from spawning, weapon parts are probably going to be worth selling now.

My only complaint is any helmet with a visor is nearly unusable at night before you get either nightvision or the addon that makes the view clearer.

all of that.

it's still a pointless layer of micromanagement that doesn't add anything of value and bloats the item pool

delete this right this instant

DX11 works for me but not some other people

It prevents armor upgrades from just being a matter of throwing money at the repair guy, giving the player incentive to take on more powerful opponents to get the materials needed to upgrade. How does that add nothing of value?
>bloats item pool
Oh noes, occasionally some dead guy has some cloth in his inventory with the money, armor, weapon, and ammo. This is truly the end of STALKER as we know it.

Do any of the STALKER games feature the hospital and the basement full of highly radioactive fireman uniforms? How could this be incorporated into the game?

>hospital and the basement full of highly radioactive fireman uniforms
what

>Every has already heard about the basement of the Pripyat hospital No. 126. This is the place, where all the clothes and accessories of the firefighters and employees, which were fighting with the fire at Chernobyl nuclear power plant, are laying. Pripyat hospital was nursing these people right after the disaster back in 1986. The firefighters and other liquidators got so many radiation, that they died within a year from radiation sickness. Their clothes are, however, still there, buried and emitting dangerous doses of radiation.

>xray is modder's heaven
Kinda, but also not really. Modding in a loli PC into STALKER would be a real pain in the ass to do. I'd say STALKER is up there on the modability list, which has been proven by time, but in terms of flexibility and just the sheer amount of how much you can change the core game with modding alone, I'd say you have a way better workflow with OG DOOM and Skyrim.
>i doubt stalker 2 will be as mod-friendly as previous games
Fair enough, I haven't really tried modding any UE4 games myself, so I can't say how much of an asspain the process is.

>OG DOOM
that's cheating tho since the true flexibility only happened with source ports

>the true flexibility only happened with source ports
I'd consider Gold Source and Source it's own thing by that point. Which I somehow completely forgot about. What I meant by OG Doom mods is that there's still some pretty impressive overhauls coming out to this day. Some of them completely changing the core mechanics and the looks of the game. STALKER mods, for the most part, are still STALKER.

Oh please just fuck off my man, SoC best and CoP generally 2nd is/was the consensus
Yea Forums has always bummed off of stalker - due to the unique mix of comfy, slavic goodness and spook with a little sprinkle of niche (semi obtuse) mechanics
Not sure what's caused this influx of nausy dickheads complaining about a series they haven't played though (although clear sky is v rough), did a new mod pack come out recently that casualises SoC or CoP again?

Very based. Plus New Vegas has Stalker beat in the melee and unarmed weapons department. If I can't punch mutants to death, what's the point? Explain this, Stalkerbabs

He might be referring to:
github.com/xrOxygen/xray-oxygen

There's also another 64-bit fork specifically for the Anomaly mod:
moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly

I had no idea they'd open-sourced the original engine or that there were active projects to maintain and improve it. Holy shit!

Yeah I'm betting you uninstall it before you even make it out of cordon. None of these standalone mods are fun. They're made by russians and russians only know how to make shitty things.

That would be kinda retarded.
Melee is viable in Fallout because there aren't that many firearms and there's armor better than anything we have in real life.
In STALKER however there's a steady influx of weapons from outside the zone and the strongest mutants either ignore armor or have psychic powers you can't defend against without certain artifacts.
You can still knife several weak mutants species pretty easily though.

Based. UE4 is a great creator's engine, but it's shit for modding. Mainly due to the lack of native overrides (replacing default values/functionality of classes).

Where to buy stashes that i can place in Anomaly? I remember every merchant having them in the old version.

In-universe consistency is important.
Also I don't think anyone has ever argued that fist weapons aren't retarded, because they are.

you make them with any backpack by right clicking

what if everyone in stalker is a loli though
even the mutants
hideous topless loli controllers, screeching loli snorks, terrifying loli bloodsuckers

it'd be great

>STALKER is one of those games that Yea Forums raves on and on about because 1% of it is good
Add Morrowind to that list

I suspected it was something like that,by removing the old item they are going to create confusion.

Just tried out Anomaly and found it to be pretty bad. I guess I don't really like mods that try to overhaul everything to the point where turning on your flashlight becomes a chore.

Headlamps exist but you are probably going to bitch that you need to change batteries every now and then

Protip:you can tweak anything in the menus if you really want to

Not just expert, tools in general.

Patched vanilla was a 8/10 game mechanically even with scrapped ideas and many mods hurt it. Prove me wrong.

I mean I started out with a flashlight and couldn't get it working. Tried removing batteries then it wouldn't let me put them back in. And it's not just that, it's the weird stuff like making an animation play every time I equip something, not letting me grab loot because "people are watching" when they're not, stalkers nonstop chatting on the text thing, loud annoying grunting nonstop when at low health, anomalies being totally fucking invisible with no realistic way to know where they are unless you throw your now finite bolts everywhere you go, along with a billion other things that just confused the hell out of me after 10 minutes of playing. I couldn't even tell what killed me the last time I died. No gunshot or anything, I just suddenly got blood on my screen and died while chilling near the bus stop in the first level.

yea i learned it from the loading screen i think
also quicksave before you make stashes cause sometimes it glitches and creates nothing

To activate the hand flashlight you need to press O not L

>it's the weird stuff like making an animation play every time I equip something

You can disable that

>not letting me grab loot because "people are watching" when they're not

Uh?

>stalkers nonstop chatting on the text thing

You can modify that or even disable it all together

>loud annoying grunting nonstop when at low health

Same

>anomalies being totally fucking invisible with no realistic way to know where they are unless you throw your now finite bolts everywhere you go

Not all anomalies are invisible,they all make sounds and you can reactivate the beeping sound when you are close an anomaly in the menu

>I just suddenly got blood on my screen and died while chilling near the bus stop in the first level

Probably radiations,check the small icons on your right part of the screen

Already did and now it just bores me. Point & click gameplay really is the most shallow imaginable.

Yeah that pretty much sums up stalker anomaly. A waste of fucking time, all of these slav mods are. You download them, find out they're impossible to play and then you spend a week downloading addons to get the gameplay even close to anything fun. And it's not as simple as changing some sliders in the menu like the shills would have you believe.

Its not even a slav mod lmao

Well there is no button to disable your retardation i'm afraid

The whole idea of a ballistic fist is dumb as shit to begin with; if you're punching with increased force somehow then you feel an equal and opposite force in your wrist, arm and shoulder. Simply put it would break your hand. The power fist was originally a stun gun built into a glove and actually made some sense in operation.

I wouldn't be surprised

Most mods add too much shit. All fo that k-wannabe crap could be simply replaced with toolkits.
Vanilla had some elegance to it by virtue of simplicity. All the mods do is clutter it up. Sure, they fix stuff and add some of the features that are neat, but for most part - they just clutter shit up.

I want New Vegas + Stalker + C&C Tiberian Sun/Tiberium Wars + Fallout Tactics + Rage.

the recoil is STUPID as FUCK
the visor water is dumb and doesn't make any sense given the masks available

I've been playing CoP after a similar thread 3 days ago. Why is it so grindy though? When you go into anomalies hunting for artifacts you get hurt, which damages your gear, which you then need to repair, which costs money, eating up some of the cash you get for artifacts. An annoying treadmill. Also, no one sells sniper rifles or ammo to them, as far as I can tell, less comfy stalker times, only one equipment seller per map, can't even find any Freedom presence beside one valley near station.

Oh fuck, that's what the tunnel in Spatial Anomaly is from.

The Wish Granter is Calypso from Twisted Metal in the form of a giant rock.

And/or that's what you get for trusting the Monolith.

spotted the guy playing on any diffuculty that isnt master

Someone must have the webm

Two things to consider: getting hurt by the actual anomalies should not be happening. If you take your time and throw bolts constantly to be sure of where you're walking, you should never take damage from things like gravitational anomalies or electric anomalies. Now, things like burning anomalies or chemical anomalies can certainly do damage over time over the entire area of the anomaly even if you don't step on a flame or acid, but the idea with those is that you get enough money over time to eventually buy the suits that can resist that stuff in the first place.

I tried 4-5 but I just cant get into the game.

i did play on master though. even if i wasn't, how is this acceptable?

Playing below Master isn't acceptable, you play yourself by letting the game ruin itself.
If you were playing on Master, you missed or their vest/exo resisted enough damage for them to survive.
Load AP rounds or use a higher caliber, faggot. Aim for the head, use your ironsights.

fuck. you.

I find it funny how I keep seeing these posts yet I never run into this myself. TTK in the STALKER games is in fact extremely low compared to just about any other game out there if you understand the types of ammo you have, what suit your enemy is wearing, and if you can actually aim. Part of the reason I come back to this game is precisely because I can kill so fast and I can also be killed so fast.

I'm just tired of always replaying the same maps and missions

Thanks for the advice.
>electric anomalies
I always have a feeling that they are too close to each other to not hurt you, but maybe I'm just rushing too much.
>buy the suits that can resist that stuff
Yeah, they cost even more to repair though.

There are suits that take a really long ass time to degrade in anomalies, like the SEVA suit, one of the high-end suits made for artifact hunting. You should never be going on expeditions for too long that your suit inevitably degrades itself so much anyway. About 3 or 4 artifacts in a go is more than enough. When I do that and go back to camp, I pay like 100 RU to fix my suit and I end up making lods of emone from my artifacts.

Have you reached the bar?

>SEVA suit
Yeah, I was going to buy that, thanks again for the advice.
