Stalker Anomaly

I played the other Stalker Games years ago.
How is this in comparison, is it worth downloading and investing my spare time into?
Anyone here try it?

it's a SANDBOX combining all the maps from the three games, if that sounds interesting go for it

Shit
Made by retards for retards who hate stalker

It's a zombie survival game wearing STALKER's flesh. In other words, it's garbage

I cant seem to figure out if they added new areas or not. Like the massive junkyard on the west of the map, for whatever reason i don't remember that zone at all.
I beat all the other Stalkers i thought i would remember it or something.

What?
Hows it so bad compared to the other games?

I think there's a couple of unused areas

East of the map

>How is this in comparison
It's a MOD.
A typical, boring sandbox-freeroam mod.
There's been many like it, but newfag zoom zooms flock to this one because the creators managed to turn it into a standalone "game".

The mod is a mix&match of alpha areas, modded sectors and vanilla game areas.
It's also a hub for many MODS for this MOD.

>Hows it so bad compared to the other games?
It's NOT a game.
It's a mod with no story nor purpose. You just roam around and do what ever you want, like in every other generic survival game since DayZ.

>what
Turning game into le sandbox is the worst thing you can do to stalker

>it's bad because I don't like it
riveting

>No Story
Seriously i thought it had like a main quest / story line. Are you sure there is no story?
Fuck that would suck

Ignore the dummies, it's the best and most polished iteration of STALKER so far, personally I recommend you play it with the GAMMA modpack

Lots of weird seethe in this thread. Go for it OP, the game is good.

t. VASYAN

there are quests and a story for different factions, he's literally making shit up

I will look into the gamma mod pack
But can you confirm is there a story main questline ?

>Living and surviving in the zone as a stalker is the worst thing you can do to stalker

Please shut up,

there are story missions for all 9 factions plus more, don't listen to anyone on Yea Forums except for me

There is some shitty quest line but without anything meaningful interaction or quests. You just run from 1 point to another shooting mutants/people

>newfag zoom zooms flock to this one because the creators managed to turn it into a standalone "game".

No, it's because it's the most polished and complete STALKER in totality by far

Lots of mods are standalone games, why is Yea Forums so full of idiots

>You just run from 1 point to another shooting mutants/people
so just like stalker

>You just run from 1 point to another shooting mutants/people
you just described most video games in the fps genre

>there are story missions for all 9 factions plus more
Generic fetch-quests =/= story.
You have no ultimate end goal, no unique NPCs, no cinematics, nothing.

>living and surviving
>bread 5000rub
>2 bullets is enough to kill you
Зaкpoй eбaлo, гoвнoeд.

It has a quest line, but only for certain factions. It's actually pretty fun if you set the difficulty to the max so that all the cool weapons won't spawn until you're a high reputation. The early game really feels like a struggle to survive

Its free, just try it for yourself. Stop feeding the Yea Forumseddit niggers.
The main games major quests like shutting of the brain scorcher and tracking important people to get lore dumps from are in it.

It's really good ignore the contrarians

>No, it's because it's the most polished and complete STALKER in totality by far
No, it's not.
It's lacking the story and general game-design of STALKER games.

>Lots of mods are standalone games
Null point, zoomer fag.
Analmeme is a mod. Based on the almost identical mod for CoP, Call Of Chernobyl.
It's not an official, commercial release, and it will never replace the vanilla games.
And as seen ITT, many actual STALKER fans loathe this boring ass shit.

>vanila games always had characters and sidequests and set piece here and there
trannymaly has none of it.
Profound mental retardation

if u want multiplayer stalker try zombie panic source, co-op horror, free on steam

why lie?

>tranny
oh look it's a schizo

GAMMA adds some things in that sense. Anomaly has a basic story that takes you across the zone and allows you to meet the major characters, but anomaly is not meant to be linear; it's made to be a very well made, immersive, stable, complete vision of "the zone." It does that better than anything else, and presents a foundation to build upon.

Please leave Yea Forums, the people here are insanely stupid

This

>strawman
Concession accepted.
>Please leave Yea Forums, the people here are insanely stupid
Why don't you follow your own advice

Been meaning to try this for like 4 years thanks for reminding me

Ok i kind of figured that would be the case
Honestly it is kind of weird.
i can understand the seethe if there isn't a main story but other user said there is infact a story but also some faction based ones aswell.

Are anons sure the quests arent random generated shit , but are more in depth and story related.
Other Anons that hate it , explain yourselves!

I started downloading it, what mods should i get for it besides Gamma.
But i will cancel the install if anons give me legit valid reasons why its shit.
I dont want to dive into this, for it to ruin my nostalgia from the past games.

>Analmeme
>trannymaly
actual children lmao

>P-please understand! It's MEANT to be generic and boring!!!
Shut up nigger. I got tired of this sandbox meme already 10 years ago after playing The Faction War 3.8 on Clear Sky for a week.
You can only do the same directionless e-larping for so long before it gets boring.

>Are anons sure the quests arent random generated shit ,
Their quality is shit. Even worse than randomly generated quests from SoC

>grasping for straws this much
Embarrassing

>To get the latest Stalker GAMMA client and install intructions, head to the associated discord server:

Seriously?

Sometimes one has to feed the fire
Its just so strange to see such wildly different reactions to it. As a og stalker fan i find it interesting.
Im downloading it now but in the meantime i like to see peoples opinions on it. Bc apparently its pretty divisive here

i wish this banter got me as excited as it gets you...

Analmeme is bloated proto-misery trash. It's for people who don't want to play STALKER.

the main story quests for the factions that have them are not randomly generated

there's not much to digest about anomaly, it's very well put together sandbox consisting of the three games, if you want to wander around and survive in the zone it's for you, if you want a linear narrative experience it isn't

>copy gamedata into game directory
>copy bin into game directory
Wow

I don't know what half the people here are fuckin talking about but I can personally say if you pick almost any faction that's not hostile to everyone (bandits, military, mercs) you'll get a storyline to find Strelok if you talk to your faction leader. The quest pretty much is a copy of SoC, with you having to go around disabling the brain scorcher and infiltrating the labs and finding out what happened to Strelok's team after the original games.
After you do that you get another long quest line to stop a group of religious cultists from taking over the zone thats also pretty fun.

>People flock to it because it's standalone
>"Uh but lots of mods are standalone"
>That's a null point!

Anomaly is basically a framework to represent the complete zone and allow someone to exist within it like any other stalker, it cannot replace the games and isn't meant to, but it is of great quality and nothing has created the zone so completely quite like it

>MUH ACTUAL FANS
I assisted the development of many of the mods being discussed here and I understand stalker on a very deep level, I should refuse to answer in English to gatekeep you

>Bc apparently its pretty divisive here
It really isnt. Its just one fag shitting up this thread.

>Analmeme is bloated proto-misery trash
It's the opposite dumbass. Correct on being bloated trash though

>I assisted the development of many of the mods being discussed here and I understand stalker on a very deep level,

respect

Why are all russians boyfuckers? Women too ugly to fuck? Do you literally die if you don't rape each other in the army?

There's also the UNISG story AND their own personal story. I think Sin and Monolith get their own story too and there's story mods for the Military.

>пyк
?

Isn't Anomaly a standalone 64bit extension of CokC?

KEK

>its lacking the story
Doesnt it have its own story + mods that afds the SoC story to it?

It has its own story, like 3 of them in fact. Don't listen to deranged Yea Forums trannies.

>fetch quests
>story
Lmao

>It's a mod with no story nor purpose.
so roguelites have no gameplay according to you because they have no story? lmao

Perfect example of a deranged troon

>troon
oh look it's a schizo

Thats what 90% of SoC story quests are though.
