You can now have a nice day. You're clearly failed as a human being.
CoP is the only one worth mentioning. Having gone back and played them all I don't know how I tolerated SoC and CS
I am nearly finishing CoP and I prefer SoC, never played CS, though.
>CoP
>Good
lol, lmao.
was just about to skip the first one and get cop because of that other anon
should i just play the original?
None of them really hold up today without mods.
how can they not hold up when modern games are complete garbage?
>should i just play the original?
Yes. CoP is the weakest game of them all.
>weaker than Clear Sky
Way to prove to everyone your moronic.
Clear Sky being bad is a meme parroted by people who have never played them. It's nowhere near as good as SoC, but it still holds up and has some really good parts. The push through Limansk is easily my favourite fight in the series.
>Clear Sky being bad is a meme parroted by people who have never played them
it's "parroted" by people who have played the games and know that faction wars are garbage and that the games removes the entire Zone magic from the first game
>The push through Limansk is easily my favourite fight in the series.
you like the most linear cawadooty-esque part of the game, no wonder you defend it lol
>you like the most linear cawadooty-esque part of the game
its the only discernable part of the game besides red forest.
Not a meme, ya tard.
Easily the most complete out of the trilogy. SOC might have a better story but damn if the gameplay isn't OLD
I agree with this hot take I cannot for the life of me get through SOC but I can play COP all fricking day every day.
Pretty plebeian taste, probably you like tarkow-like mods too
Hard agree, but its not like I dislike the other two. Although CS is a frustrating experience, don't try it without numerous patches.
i played all 3 and SoC is the most memorable, most interesting areas and story by far, played with zone reclamation project
Clear sky was fine, but the area capturing mechanics are pure moronation, i turned them off basically because they were so grindy, story was pretty shite too
CoP was a lot more convenient to play in comparison to the other two, and solid areas, but more about wandering around wherever rather than specific goals and hence less focused story compared to SoC
Haven't played gamma/anomaly yet
>Haven't played GAMMA/Anomaly
Good, don't, people just think the game is good because bandits snipe you from across the map and you have to keep track of 7 different bars constantly, if the devs could, they will add a piss meter that gives you prostate cancer if you don't take care of it
GAMMA is for people who have hundreds of hours in stalker already and are super good at the games and have an IQ over 65.

more doesnt mean better homosexual , gamma economy mechanics were made by a total spurg
Yeah I don’t understand the appeal of free play mods. The stalker games are much more guided and scripted than people realize. Exploration, while much more of a focus in CoP, is still totally optional. I guarantee you that everybody’s most memorable moments from the originals were from a scripted or story event.
Then free play mods remove all of that and the world becomes really boring and empty. No big shootouts at garbage, agroprom, wild territory, dark valley, or any other map. Just empty with nothing going on aside from the occasional mutant or small squad. Also the mods love wasting your time by giving you some bullshit fetch quest 7 maps away just to pad game time.
Also:
>requiring a workbench, tools, and specialized repair kit, just to field strip an ak
>Yeah I don’t understand the appeal of free play mods
It's stalker without any fluff or dramatic setpieces, just pure stalker gameplay exploring every inch of the interesting maps while struggling to survive. Do you even like the games or are you one of those underage Russian kids that likes the mods that make the games play like fallout?
>are you one of those underage Russian kids that likes the mods that make the games play like fallout?
It is surely one of those, it always is.
>it’s pure stalker gameplay
It literally isn’t lmao. It’s stalker with most of the content stripped out. Exploring the map, completing basic generated jobs, and looting spawned stashes is not all there is to stalker, in the original game it’s a small part of the game. In SoC you can ignore every randomly generated stash and job, and go from story mission to story mission without missing much. The problem with free play mods is that they take the minor gameplay that added flavor to SoC and made that into the whole experience.
Not to mention the bloated maps with shit flow since “more is better.” Man I sure do love wasting 15 min walking through a completely empty darkscape. Or starting in cordon and getting a mission to deliver a letter to someone in fricking zaton.
>you’re a dumb ADD zoomer because you think the original games are better than some shitty free roam mod
You’re moronic
>It literally isn’t lmao
Yeah it is dipshit zoomer, try exploring the map in SoC some time, there's actually a ton of cool shit and random events just randomly out there. Anomaly/gamma is about routing, not doing fetch quests, you are supposed to pre-plan your route to complete 10+ missions per journey then limp back with a bag full of loot which you turn into fresh guns and ammo. You pick missions that can resolve themselves without your intervention, you save materials and dont take quests for materials unless you already have them, and then you pick up missions along the way to your high value mission, which is usually a fighting a whole merc camp or something. The interesting bits are the things that get in the way of your route and successfully clearing the big mission at the end. It's like being an actual stalker, not a super important MC like Strelok, and it's interesting to claw your way up from nothing. You plan your own game within the simulation of the zone by taking jobs.
You’re arguing a mod of a game is more true to the game than the actual game itself, that’s moronic.
I do explore when I play stalker, my point is that it’s entirely optional. You can find cool stuff, but most of it aside from some very rare artifacts will also be found by playing through the story. So taking one optional part of a game and making that the whole experience is just a stripped down, lesser version of stalker. Stalker has exploration and random jobs, but it also has an actual story, scripted events, memorable characters, and set piece battles.
>just pick jobs that resolve themselves
That’s not even gameplay I don’t understand how you could think that’s a positive. Yeah bro it’s so fun and engaging to pick an assassination mission and wait 10 minutes to get an alert that the target is dead. So hardcore and immersive lol. Yeah the jobs aren’t connected to one another, you are just doing the same basic tasks over and over for money to blow at the gunsmith that charges an arm and a leg for basic jobs.
Or you could rely on the crafting system which depends entirely on randomly spawned tools, materials, and recipes. I never crafted anything because I’d have the money to buy what I needed long before I would ever collect all the random bullshit I would need. And the system tries so hard to be “hardcore” that it becomes comical and more complex than real life. It takes maybe 20 seconds to swap the barrel in a Glock, and no tools. In anomaly I need a workbench and pistol repair kit to do that. It’s stupid and exists to waste your time. Or how about maintaining a rifle with a file? Or repairing one with super glue? It’s more moronic busy work, same with the generated jobs.
I know what stalker actually is because I’ve played stalker, not anomaly and gamma and pretend that those shit mods are the “true experience.”
>Stalker has exploration and random jobs, but it also has an actual story, scripted events, memorable characters, and set piece battles.
So does gamma lol, it actually has harder upgraded versions of the old setpiece battles lmao
it's sad you even have to make this post. the amount of moronic homosexuals that exist never cease to amaze me
>Man I sure do love wasting 15 min walking through a completely empty darkscape. Or starting in cordon and getting a mission to deliver a letter to someone in fricking zaton.
It's kinda funny how this describes True Stalker too in a way, honestly.
CoP has the best gameplay by far. Definitely the weakest story and doesn't have a ton of memorable characters.
People that will die on a hill saying SoC is the best are playing modded and thus don't have a valid opinion.
Clear Sky sucked ass, dropped it after an hour or two. SoC and CoP are the only good ones.
>Clear Sky sucked ass, dropped it after an hour or two. SoC and CoP are the only good ones.
Meh, I liked CS. I started with CoP.
I never patched the grenade bug so if forced me to always be on the move and the swamp was cool.
I also liked being able to help out Duty
CoP has improved mechanics, but if you play SoC first you won't miss those mechanics because you haven't experienced them yet.
if you prefer cop you might as well just play far cry
Play a game you like.
play something else and dont shit up the catalog moron?
I dunno I guess it isn't for you?
Play something else?
You don't have to like it.
That's me on fl-studio free trial version

Play a mod that has poop mechanics for added realism
Like, if you eat bad 'bread' or sausage you get diarrhea
And if you sleep with diarrhea you have poop and pee all over yourself
Play those mods
Nothing, it was a product of it's time. It was the first 3d game in a post apocalyptic setting where you went around collecting shit. There was nothing like it at the time and it basically invented the survival FPS genre.
You had to play it when it first came out.
How much did you play?
You're not the first one, nor def won't be the last, to give up early on, before the game even opens up.
Incorrect on all items, buddy.
>Bar
Stalker gits gud as soon as you go to the sewers for the first time and encounter that lil homie waiting for you at the end, which is shortly before Bar, but still it's a pretty well defined "wait a minute this game is fricking awesome" moment
Play fallout since you can't handle a real apocalypse.
>Play Fallout
Name one mod with good pooping and peeing mechanics.
Like when you are getting shot at and but you ate bad brahmin dung, because you can't get good food early on, and you have diarrhea and you explode because you need to decide to shoot the enemy or poop out your butt.

I wanna tear apart my leather jacket to make a diaper so I dont have any debuffs when fighting bandits.
I will fight bandits to turn their gear into diapers and sell them or use them to hold artefacts
Should've gone for the sandbox experiance with something like Anomly and your choice of mods, or something like Gamma if you're feeling lazy.
You remove yourself from the gene pool
install Oblivion Lost Remake fixx 59+ from a russian site instead and play that first.
>Is that a fricking big brain? AHHHHH SAVE ME THIS IS SO TERRIFYING THIS IS THE SCARIEST MOMENT IN THE GAME SAVE ME Black personMAN AHHHHHH
Why are slavs so scared of things that make them think?
Says the homosexual who read the wiki beforehand so he knew about the bloodsucker and controller in Agroprom and the poltergeists in underground labs.
I didn't even know you could shoot the poltergeists so I just ran past sthem
these games came out right when I quit gaming so I missed them. was about to buy it on sale then saw comments about how the guy who created them died "defending ukraine"
not going to give those homosexuals a single cent. rest in piss
>the guy who created them died "defending ukraine"
The OG team has nothing to do with the Stalker 2, but yes - they are literally Ukrainian games.
Thus it's indeed correct that many of the devs are currently fighting against the VatBlack folk.
>fighting against the VatBlack folk.
you mean being used as pawns and getting slaughtered while zelensky and cronies line their pockets with american dollars?
schitzo moron
>don't defend your friends, family, national sovereignty and right of self-government, it literally enriches the israelites!
People like you should be sent as part of the meat waves

>the guy who created them died
The owner of GSC is not dead.
Such has always been life among pigs. The owner of GSC literally dissolved the company because the former government was trying to extort him until the donbass invasion.
moronic pig, die in your trench.
>believes russian low-effort propaganda and/or is a contrarian waste of oxygen AF-tard
lmao you'll die alone
The owner of GSC collects the profits and has never done a single bit of work on the games. the orginal creators of the STALKER series left before SoC was done, a few of them went on to the first Metro game.
Like I said, such is life among pigs.
I don't need russian propaganda when the pigs themselves put out disgusting video records of their own cowardly actions.
Not sure what american law enforcement has to do with stalker
Invade, get tortured and killed, simple as that. Also what is bucha
still believing the moronic 2014 cope hahaha
check ukraine's voting records, homosexual
install anomaly and actually have fun
>Anomaly
Ganker made me try this game, I gave it about 10 hours and uninstalled. I can tolerate most shenanigans but I can't stand guns that don't shoot straight. I felt completely defenseless, that shit is completely out of your control, the game just fricks you over with unnaturally bad accuracy.
Did you play on Master difficulty?
That improves aiming and other mechanics.
it's been a long time but I assume I played on normal like I always do on a blind playthrough. weird that master is harder than normal, if what you're saying is true.
meant to say "weird that master is easier than normal"
Stop spreading this misinformation. The difficulty level does not impact the tankiness of enemies or the accuracy of your weapons.
>weird that master is easier than normal
That's because he's wrong. This is a very common misconception about the game mechanics. Yes, playing on Master is more fun due to the challenge it provides, but it doesn't affect the gunplay at all.
>Stop spreading this misinformation. The difficulty level does not impact the tankiness of enemies or the accuracy of your weapons.
But it does and you are a moron. Go back to where you came from
I should've worded that better. It doesn't affect the tankiness of enemies in the way you might think and has zero effect on the accuracy of the player or enemies.
Not in the way you think.
>Not in the way you think.
It works exactly how I think, butt homosexuals like you make it not work.
Return to your land of "misinformation"
GO BACK AND THEN have a nice day
That homosexual said that it "improves aiming and other mechanics." which does not
You are a moronic autist and you are missing the point.
It does in fact make the game easier. Just not for you because of how smooth your brain is.
You're like a kid throwing a tantrum. Is this the effect this website had on you, or were you born a manchild like that?
You will never understand how wrong you are about the difficulty and you will never understand. I feel no pity for the ignorant for their arrogance makes them bliss.
Your behavior is starting to worry me. Why are you so angry at people for pointing out bullshit when they see it? The chart I posted was made by analyzing game data. This myth is still alive because people like you refuse to see the truth and keep spreading misinformation.
>YOU ARE SO MMAD AND AGREEE RIFHT NOW!!!A!!AA!
>He says with his teeth clenched and hands curled into fists
Your anger blinds you
Calm down and explain how am I wrong. I'm completely willing to consider your points and admit that I was wrong if you provide evidence for your claims.
>Calm down
take your own advice
if I explain it to you, you will not learn anything
you have to think differently than you are now
outside the box
You funny guy. Here's your last
i never doubted you can read words on a screen, but you have just confirmed that you are unwilling to think for yourself.
some people never learn
Jesus christ man, is this what happens when your mother only sustains herself with pure vodka during pregnancy? I pity you russians so mucn
you lack reading comprehension, but i will respond to you anyways
gp jump off a bridge discord troon, you can lie and defend SHITALKER but it will always remain a borken mess
I understand you missed out on the early days of stalker so you too will never understand either.
Also, videogames need no defense. You either like them or you don't.
Get trannies out of your mind, every second you think about them is a second their open wounds gush all over your smooth brain.
games don't age you redditor, if it's shit back then it's shit now

STALKER is still amazing to this day and there is nothing like it, let alone better than it at what it does, as an open world survival horror game. 🙂
>as an open world survival horror game

really hope this isn't true. the gays ITT finally pushed me to buy it
get a refund. how much did you pay?
CoP plays better and is more fun but
SoC drew my into the atmosphere more
i already don't regret my purchase. also not downloading any mods. i never do. frick you zoomer gays for sewing seeds of doubt. never listening to you homosexuals again
>also not downloading any mods
kek i hope you don't get a refund get fricked
he said he didn't want a refund you moronic sperg.
>reading comprehension
lmao is every SoC drone on this thread an ESL slavshit?
If you are playing SoC, just install ZRP and remember to never eat anything from a corpse's inventory and you'll be fine.
Doesn't this chart literally prove that enemies take longer to kill on higher difficulties?
Don't listen to that anon. He spreads lies and misinformation.
I edited a lot of stalker ltx files back in my days and this chart is correct. But I love the meme that novice turns enemies into bullet sponges, imagine how many people fell for it and were forced to play master lmao. Instead of enjoying the game they just stare at the loading screen for 30% of their playtime after getting oneshotted by an anomaly... again.
It's actually not a meme, OG straight out the box stalker soc works like this, and the belief persisted after it was patched. It's fine anyways because the only fun way to play the game is on master due to reduced drop rates of health and ammo and more punishment for poor positioning. Only a moron poser would play on a lower difficulty.
it is real if you say it is real
>I can't stand guns that don't shoot straight.
STALKER uses realistic bullet physics, not hitscan. So if you've only played CoD style shooters, this may obviously result a culture shock. Not even ADS makes them into laser blasters like in [every other modern console shooter]. You need to master each tool and mix / match things to your liking.
>I felt completely defenseless,
That's kinda the point. You're in a hostile, alien Zone, where everything is trying to kill you, even the nature itself. It's essentially comfy survival-horror, until you get better gear and weapons.
That being said, even the rookie pistols can 1-shot weakly armored human enemies with ease.
Anyway, many people (like myself) enjoy the beginning's "hobo phase", because it underlines the survival aspects, teaches you not to Rambo. However, I've seen thousands of folks only truly "get" the game after they reach the 100rad Bar, where the game opens up for real, you get a proper "hub" of sorts, and also access to better gear and more interesting missions.
>STALKER uses realistic bullet physics
lol
lmao
It's true though.
The bullets are physics controlled objects, not hitscan system.
There is travel time, arching, even ricocheting system. On top of that, different ammo have different ballistic properties.
Found the salty Kreml troll.
Play the original.
SoC is the best game in the series, and a crucial first chapter too.
All of them hold up way better than 99% of games released afterwards.
Simply because they were not made with casual console peasants and SJWs in mind.
>SoC popping heads sniper.webm
99% of stalker gameplay
I love stalker but will never defend the sideways bullets.
I get if it's an innaccurate gun, or it has high recoil, and I can even tolerate if it does low damage/spongey enemies.
But when you're 10 feet away and you watch your bullets come sideways out of your makarov, frick you.
Try some mods, homie. There's a few that are very minimal that can improve the experience.
what irks me that they thought that they were being realistic with that shit. it's not realistic. a compromised barrel doesn't cause inaccuracy, it causes the gun to blow up in your hand.
>a compromised barrel doesn't cause inaccuracy, it causes the gun to blow up in your hand.
not how that works
explain how a gun can have an MOA of several feet and still manage to cycle
>makes asinine nogunz statement
>b-b-b-ut what abou this scenario that I also don't understand
just stop talking little guy
I'm sure you're an expert, moron Black person. Gun talks on V are embarrassing for all parties.
you don't have to be an expert to know that anon is talking out of his ass. he was also the only one having a gun talk.
>explain how a gun can have an MOA of several feet and still manage to cycle
Easy, stick on a muzzle brake with the hole drilled just slightly off center, I'm talking half a millimetre or less so that the bullet scrapes by on one side while exiting. Watch the bullet hit several feet to the side at 50yards.
Or use a 20" barrel as a battering ram, those things are like floppy pool noodles.
Read roadside picnic and than pick it up again. Maybe it's going to give you a new perspective.
Maybe try fortnite next
now you go play different games? the frick is this shit thread, are you just finding out that people have different tastes and preferences?

It won't be a problem for much longer, young ukranian men are dead, old men are left fighting the war and their women have gone overseas to have children with other races. Ukies as a people are over, zelensky's mission accomplished.
how did this reddit tier support for Ukraine even manifest? seems like some kind of mk ultra type of thing. mass hynosis? it's weird
Same way they got people to inject themselves with random science juice. Ukraine is just a test bed for what they're going to do to all of us.
>Ukraine is just a test bed for what they're going to do to all of us.
i thought that was canada
same way "freethinkers" get roped into parroting right wing grifter skitzo bullshit spammed across every vaguely conservative channel, except it's even worse because it's all reactionary.

It's all the same shit.

Anyone play True Stalker? That was a fricking let down. I can't believe I sat through the whole fricking game.
I dropped it around the time you start as the second character. The game started strong and got worse the more I played.
*knocks you out in a cutscene and steals your gear*
did they even need a single knock out scene?
That is basically the end, but it is all about shooting at that point. SPIKE DIES!
If you do go back and finish it, the guy help out and lives in a shack in that small bit of swamp, will give you free repairs and upgrades after you help him so have everything you want upgraded on you SPIKE DIES!
>If you do go back and finish it
I won't. Next time I play Stalker it'll be OLR 3.0 or Stalker 2, whichever comes out first.
i will let you lol
i am halfway through Lost Planet myself
Play the Metro series instead
Agreed. The visuals, maps, all looked pretty good. It ran well, was polished. A clean presentation, I was impressed. But god damn dude that story was some of the most shittiest shit.
Not even that the story was shit, what killed me the most was how little actual stalkering you get to do. Every fricking question was teleport here, teleport there, get knocked out. You couldn't just actually navigate the world and have things happen. It was impressive how on-rails they made things.
And its like, it probably took a frick ton of work for all that voice acting and cutscenes. A lot of the time it all looks good. But it's so fricking un fun that I ended up hating all of it. It'd be one thing if they were lazy and bad. But they were expertly bad, it took time and effort to be bad.
>t.
No shit I didn't even know. Gonna download that tonight for sure. I literally redownloaded COC because of the longing. But you can only play the same mod so many times...
Wait for the sequel slop
When are we getting a game about the Russo-Ukraine war?
a hypothetical Russo-Ukraine war conceptualized years before where Russia has an objectively better military, but still.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1502380/Combat_Mission_Black_Sea/
i wanted to like OLR but the maps arent very well populated with human enemies, the translation is poor and there's too much of a reliance on swarms of mutants. too bad because i love the aesthetic. i have thought of trying VoA instead but there isnt enough info on the differences to inform me if it fixed any of the issues i had with it.
i have no clue why people never mentioned the "FPS" config option for ZRP when talking about weapon accuracy. it makes weapons a tad more accurate while removing the bizarro damage scaling based on enemy animation(?), without turning the game into ADSshit.
also OP you should at least describe WHY you dont like SoC if you want to hold a worthwhile conversation.
personally ive been playing CoP for the first time and i love it. its odd going back to lesser weapon feedback (animationsound) after playing Anomaly (yes yes i know but i played SoC and CS beforehand) but i prefer the atmosphere and deliberate progression of the originals.
recommend me some good story mods too.
clear sky is the best in the series and I'm tired of pretending it's not
It's a fricking stupid game, that's for sure.
>play on realistic difficulty
>sneak up behind someone

>completely unaffected
>he turns around and shoots me once with a handgun and kills me
Yeah, it's a game for frickin clowns.
I just finished this for the first time and got the greed ending kek . Enjoyed it a lot and going to replay. Tried the 2nd one but only made it an hour in before getting bored.
think im just going to buy dying light instead
frick it

Many such cases.
Sad!
so fricking tell me what stalker to get Black person

fricking moron homosexuals
Play all of them, in order of release.
why?
Because I said so.
think I am just going to buy pathologic 2 instead. or fear & hunger
Good luck if you thought stalker was difficult and obtuse pathalogic is a real deep-end dive.
>a real deep-end dive
good. that is what I am looking for. it is settled then. skipping the kiddy pool that is stalker and going to the deep end
pathologic is unironically actual garbage for hipster teens that jerk off over edgy rpg maker games and spookypastas
mother fricker. so what is there? the more i look at fear and hunger the more i get the feeling it is what you just described. patholigc 2 looked like it could be really good.
is there nothing to play?
You're not supposed to play any games at all anon. Only come to Ganker and listen to the demoralizers that will tell you everything is terrible and that YOURE terrible for trying to like new things.
you are terrible if you are trying to like new things. everything new is fricking trash. that is why I was thinking of giving stalker a go
>trying to like new things.
>trying
It is one thing to make a marriage work, but if you have to work to like things you don't like
Well, I don't know what to tell you
PS Not that anon
You're right.
I should have said "trying new things"
And by "new" I mean new experiences, not necessarily things that were made recently.
glad I had no horse in that race, because I solved nothing.
>mother fricker. so what is there
Stalker you stupid homosexual. Why do you homosexual zoomers always seek out braindamaged hipster games? Just push through the game and learn to like new things instead of wallowing in vapid hipster trash.
i'm not a zoomer you homosexual
i've been saying gaming is dead for like 10 years at this point. i'm just extremely hesitant to give anyone money for a game. and i don't want to waste time on something that will be shit.
and I couldn't find stalker through the only place i feel comfortable torrenting from. well it was on there just really old and from an uploader i am not comfortable with
>i'm not a zoomer you homosexual
You are definitely a newbie if you haven't played stalker. Old Ganker was obsessed with SoC.
i quit gaming around the time stalker came out. also happened to be around the time when the burning crusade came out and destroyed the pvp ladder i had been laboriously climbing. the week i was going to hit field marshal
He's not wrong, don't even play them all the way through get like 3-4 hours into it and you'll be able to tell if you're having fun.
They're very different games for some reason, and depending on patches, unofficial patches or overhaul mods can become substantially more different, but at least one of them will likely have what you're looking for.
CoP is playable but basically has no story and is a big empty sandbox. SoC has a story and great level design, but gameplay is dated, I think pistols didn't even have ironsights in it. Clear sky is a joke.
I would recommend a standalone mod for SoC like radiophobia 3, but the problem with mods like this is that they are often buggy as shit and you won't understand when the mod is just fricked unless you've played the original.
I think the easiest one to get into right now is true stalker, it's basically an ubishit game with the stalker backdrop, it sucks at basically everything but looks pretty and gives you solid quest marker to go to at all times.
SoC and CoP were fine but Clear Sky was broken out of the box, janky faction wars had endless respawning waves of enemies and it was impossible to capture their base. I recommend installing basic bug fixes before playing any of them because vanilla version is a dice roll whether it will shit out on you or not.
Now live the rest of your life knowing I'm better than you because I enjoyed this masterpiece thoroughly and have hundreds of hours in it.
Ive been playing stalker anomaly and it’s hella fun. Should be get gamma too
Do y'all have any hope for this?
the military will be replaced by russians
mark my fricking words
I don't have hope for any new games.
I just wait to see what vee is playing, watch a video and look at some screenshots.
That is how I found Baba and Noita.
I guess I did look forward to Bannerlord, but considering how old Mountain Blade is I knew they had very little they could frick up.
As far as Stalker 2 goes, there are still millions of mods to play before it comes out.
every modern fps sucks, so good luck
Zoomies who grew up on gaylo and other console slop are now old enough to work in the industry and are activley runining FPS.
what are you talking about? every modern game sucks
Palworld was made in UE5 and is fricking sick and super easy to mod, this will probably be great as well, Allah willing.
not since the NFTs
>try CS
SoC vs CoP
SoC is a game, CoP is an expansion pack. Yeah, it's big and returns ideas they wanted to implement for the first game but it's still an expansion.
interesting take, stupid but interesting
is Diablo 2 just an expansion on Diablo?
Diablo 2 is quantity-over-quality shit, it's barely a game, more like early gaas experience. But I guess moron as you will never get what I am talking about and the reason why CoP isn't Staker 2 or 3
you sure got mad over a simple clarifying question.
ZRP 1.07 R5 RC or 1.09 XR3a?
ZRP
Become an Anomeme shill like everybody else that gets filtered.
Just download stalker complete, its not so hard
Play the metro series it's much better than that indie garbage
This is what happened to me. Now after I've experienced how "walled in" an experience can be. and my pacing expectations adjusted a little, I can more appreciate what Stalker offers. Still never finished it though
Yeah metro is kind of just slav call of duty, it's really dissapointingly bad. Most metro threads are just jerking off over the low quality genre fiction novelization.
Metro has a better story and graphics, but stalker's more open worldness is fun to enjoy
I can't say i have ever replayed Metro
Post on Ganker but you already did that step.
zoomers are the worst group of people that ever existed. collectively worse than blacks, gay, and israelites combined
It's newbie milennials that grew up with new vegas and elder scrolls and shit crying about stalker. They thought they fit in but they don't. Zoomers are at least willing to play through these games.
If there ever was a game that this fit, it's Shadow of Chernobyl.
Still, the race to the sarcophagus was great.
I'm playing clear sky right now and I' not really liking it, feels really tedious and frustrating.
I just got to the part where you get robbed in the garbage. Should I just skip to the third game or does it get better?
It does get better but then it gets more worse than you could possibly imagine. Just finish it. The Freedom/Duty bits are great and so is the underground section.
>Should I just skip
yes.
go play gaygout 4 and 76
got any suggestions for heterosexuals?
No, stalker is the gayest series ever made. There are no women allowed in the zone and everyone just sucks on whole salami all day while getting black out drunk and wrestling each other. It is the ultimate homosexual fantasy and you must be gay to understand it.
I had fun but it drops off after you turn off the Brain scorcher imo. Having the titular Chernobyl power plant be this kinda boring linear shooter with none of the weird shit of the zone happening. I thought it would be upped to the gills with anomalies and mutants and weirdness but it's basically just three sections of 20 monolith dudes to shoot in the head while the wishkeeper just yells in your ears.
Also the VSS vintorez is absurdly busted and outclasses every other gun. Why even use a gauss gun when the VSS can one tap monolith exoskeletons with plentiful ammo and absurd accuracy
the time tested method for inna stalker
>try SoC
>if you don't like SoC try CS
>if you get filtered by the Swamp water, try CoP
>if you finish CoP go back and try CS and SoC again in that order
If you still don't like them at that point, then just don't play them. As for mods, stuff like CoC and Anomaly are very divisive, you will either love them or hate them.
>get filtered by the Swamp water
wat? just walk on the land LMAO
Swamp is a casual filter, they refuse to do anything but take the shortest path to their destination, even if it means swimming through blyatkini atoll
Are there any mods that are considered "required"?
