      Everything?
      I shot 30+ shots perfectly aimed at the enemy and not a single one hit.
      If I'm not within 3 ft of an enemy, the guns are actually useless.

      My aim is perfect. This game is horrible.

        We know.
        Unfortunately for some reason those fricking khokhols decided to implement a system were if you shoot too fast with automatic and semi automatic weapons, the bullets fired after the first one will do gradually less damage.
        If you want to do full damage at all times you have to onetap people and wait a second or two between shots.
        I know it's moronic, some mods fix it but unfortunately npcs also use this system, so it becomes very hard on some parts.
        Now of course you should brace yourself for the morons that will claim that you should play at "master" because that's the difficulty that fixes the gunplay, ignoring the fact that player damage is not influenced by difficulty at all.
        A diehard myth that will be parroted at nauseam until the end of time, all because some moronic ukroaches decided that blasting guns on full auto would be too op.

        Swap to a singleshot weapon and try to tap people to their heads.
        That's the only way to play this game efficiently.
        Funny story, once you reach the pecheneg try it against something and proceed to have a laugh at how you do 0 damage after 10 bullets.

                The game has been repacked untold times, and its source code has been completely analyzed.
                The feature I just described to you is called time_to_aim, and it's an engine-level bullshittery that unfortunately plagues every single weapon.
                Accuracy is reduced on subsequent shots in automatic fire after the first shot, simulating the effect of recoil. Crosshairs can show this.
                Those same subsequent shots have their damage significantly reduced due to the time_to_aim delay. (Every first shot after a time_to_aim delay does more damage than normally, and only to the head (5X to NPCs, 10X to mutants); subsequent shots do reduced "normal" damage or even zero damage, depending on the body part struck)
                This lower damage may be helping to extend the duration of gun battles.
                The best advice is to go for the head (both NPCs and mutants) and wait the time_to_aim amount between shots, which is generally 1.5s for most firearms and 2s for shotguns (which is rarely noticed unless you use slugs, because the pellets for buckshots are all calculated with time_to_aim regardless if they hit or not.)
                Enjoy and avoid Misery and Anomaly (and all of its variations) at all costs.

                While I'm sure that I'm aiming for the head, I'm sure the starting pistol isn't very accurate.
                My playstyle is part of the issue, I'm using the starting pistol like an AWP since they all have SMGs and melt me in seconds now. I'll just have to close the distance instead of trying to snipe everyone I meet with a pistol.

                Just so you know, the accuracy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games works like in Counter Strike, but it's not immediately apparent because bullet tracers in the game are completely graphical, and not where the bullets (and the hit calculation) are actually going to.
                There is indeed a settling time which is influenced by gun condition and ammo type, and of course player "physical" standing.

                I think it has fun gameplay. The gunplay, not good. Although even that can be serviceable if you get a laser sight and walk around with a silenced pistol headshotting people.
                The exploration of the environment, resource management, recon and planning engagements are all part of the gameplay, and they are fun.

                NONE of this is in any RE game maybe aside RE8 but those were really just minor bonus optional objectives for slight stat increase and no, RE3's optional choice of what to tackle first is not a quest mechanic.

              Any game can have these things. STALKER has never been labeled as an RPG by the devs because it isn't one. A problem with modern RPGs is that they define themselves as RPGs by labeling bog standard mechanics arbitrarily as roleplaying when they are really just generic action adventure games. Strelok doesn't roll a charisma check, guns are tools with specific uses, having to use a hammer to hit in a nail isn't roleplaying, nor is reputation or multiple outcomes.

                >lmao novicelet got called out
                Here's a video capture of my desktop where you can see me watching the unedited source video. You're wrong, and you don't know shit about Stalker no matter how many datamining threads you read on reddit. Ironic shitposting won't hide your asshurt.

                I'm okay being "shit" at a "game" that literally lies to you.
                You guys couldn't touch me in any competitive FPS, so great job being good at shooting bots in a janky shitty single player game.

    Worst gunplay? Wait until you try Clear Sky, they outdid themselves there.

    Just install Autumn Aurora, it makes the combat fricking awesome and this mod is overall peak SoC experience.

    I just played and beat this game for the first time. I didn't see anyone say it yet but I found the gunplay much better when I switched all Auto weapons to single-shot. I think the effective range of a weapon is also a part of the "difficulty" for shooting effectively. Pistols aren't great at mid-range. Viper seems to be better than the AKu

    You know most people say the gun play is awesome. I've played the game, and indeed the gun play is outstanding. So you did get it wrong. You expect your first gun is THE gun. You don't understand that better gun can feel better in a game and shit gun is actually pretty shit in a good game.

    I'm surprised "Play on Master or the guns are hot garbage" isn't common knowledge yet. I've never seen anyone recommend or argue in favor of the lower difficulties, and every Let's Play is on Master. It comes up in every single discussion. I guess if you just happened to buy a bundle off Steam or GoG on a whim and not bother looking at any reviews or forum posts you wouldn't know, but still.

      That's how the original day 1 version of the game worked, moron.

      That's because enemies have stupid amounts of health on lower difficulties.
      Master is the only way to play.

      Like pottery.
      Fricking moronic idiots. have a nice day you waste of oxygen.

      We know.
      Unfortunately for some reason those fricking khokhols decided to implement a system were if you shoot too fast with automatic and semi automatic weapons, the bullets fired after the first one will do gradually less damage.
      If you want to do full damage at all times you have to onetap people and wait a second or two between shots.
      I know it's moronic, some mods fix it but unfortunately NPCs also use this system, so it becomes very hard on some parts.
      Now of course you should brace yourself for the morons that will claim that you should play at "master" because that's the difficulty that fixes the gunplay, ignoring the fact that player damage is not influenced by difficulty at all.
      A diehard myth that will be parroted at nauseam until the end of time, all because some moronic ukroaches decided that blasting guns on full auto would be too op.

      Swap to a singleshot weapon and try to tap people to their heads.
      That's the only way to play this game efficiently.
      Funny story, once you reach the pecheneg try it against something and proceed to have a laugh at how you do 0 damage after 10 bullets.

    The starting weapons are awful, that was their way of introducing some kind of rpg-like progression.
    You get decently accurate weapons very quickly.

    The first mission of the game is a notorious filter. Even back then.

      The starter pistol 1 shots all bandits with headshots, the shotgun kills everything in the game in 1-2 hits with slugs and has like a 100yd range with this ammo. How are these bad weapons?
