Yeah I wouldn't recommend it as the first game. Try Call of Pripyat, it's the most open world of the three. Plus theres amazing equipment just laying on the ground. I won't tell you where, but you can pick up endgame gear from running around. Need other shit to upgrade it tho. Think Dark Souls.
Then play Clear Sky (more linear but well-paced action and cool shit).

You also don't need any mods to fully enjoy these games and certainly not Complete which brings tons of gameplay downgrades.

Fuck you, I started playing it a few day ago and it's fucking great.

Oh I forgot this one:
>load into another area(the one with the train line and garbage dump defense sidequest)
>hostile already standing behind me in the loading zone, kills me immediately from behind with a shotgun when im looking forward
>reload game
>load into area again
>hes behind me again, but hes standing behind a metal gate that I cant shoot through
>wait for his AI to stop shooting at the wall and come through the gate
>kill him
>cant loot him because hes inside the loading area

this series was so fucking good

Yeah it happens. It's part of the STALKER experience. Believe me, such casual glitches or an enemy throwing a grenade into himself are what make it fun. There's lots of equipment laying on the ground in SoC as well. You just have to speedrun (glitchless) if you want to.
Go with the flow man, and keep to your main quest and side missions that sound fun (good loot). Otherwise your equipment will start degrading.
AND FOR THE END GAME PACK AT LEAST 500RDS OF ARMOR PIERCING AMMO AND 10 GRENADES.

ok, now go to the /sg/ thread and follow their guide and you won't have as much stuttering, the headbob will be less noticeable and you won't experience too many bugs

About the stuttering, just turn off Core 0 in task manager set affinity,.
