This is STALKER: Clear Sky, a game made in 2008 by a small team of alcoholic slavs.

And it's pure shit.

it shows

This is fallout 4, a game made 8 years later in 2016 with a huge team and tens of millions for budget.

Why is this allowed?

And therefore, on launch without mods it looked and run like shit with bugs everywhere and is easily considered the worst vanilla STALKER title.

Fuck off.

>a small team of alcoholic slavs.

as a slav, i love this casual racism against untermensch westerners display even through praise

at least communism didn't teach hate

I heard that and just recently started playing it, it's actually really fun and the graphics tech is really fantastic.

OP screenshot is no mods. Just the regular gaem.

mods will fix it

Install Reborn.

it just works! especially with our comprehensive roleplaying game you can either be an attractive guy with a fade haircut who specializes in guns, or you can be a cute brunette who specializes in guns!

They were so drunk at the time they don't even remember they made the game.

you cant be racist against white people here in america, so you're fair game honkey

user pls, I know you're just joking but pls.

Clean sky also has better gunplay, better weapon variety, different types of ammo, better ai, more factions that are also more interesting than the ones in f4 and not as retarded, better story, anything else?

The god rays in Clear Sky are extremely well done. Every blade of grass individually casts rays and blocks light. The blades of grass all have shadows as well, casting individual grass blade shadows on your gun for example as you walk past tall grass.

racism against slavs is based around perceived character faults, not skin color. it's ideologically embedded, every american honkey can spot a nigger, but it takes some media consummation to learn to hate the commie.

i suggest you take a gander at world at war (or ww 2 in color), eastern front is mostly discussed through valiant effort of german troops, auschwitz liberation takes a footnote and the discussion about red army goes along the route "they throw their own people at tanks instead of ammunition" and the untermensch rape of german women. and this is middle of the road tier approach to slavs.

with mods stalker games are amazing looking

1. because it sells
2. because minimize the investment to maximize the profit
3. look at 1

conclusion: the consumers are to blame

all they want is gabevision's totally not a pachinko machine: gwent edition to play while sending donations to their favourite facecam friend.

...

>not even a good screenshot

Why make this thread?

>he can't handle the bantz
even the WHO say you're all a bunch of drunks
i used to work at a summer "camp" in latvia and about 63% of the kids there had at least one alcoholic parent

The guy showcasing those gun and pda mods (fuck you pipboy i have pda, google it) is amazing

wonder if it will come out

literally better than the entirety of western professional dev scene when it comes to FPS and gadget design

That looks like pure shit.

You could've atleast gone for Crysis, which is from 2007 and blows uGAYfarted 4 out of the water.

Show me a sweet brick wall or gtfo

heh... nothing personal kid...

nice cropping shitlord

yeah nice cropping asshole!

That looks horrible though.

Those look much flatter, 2D and lower quality. Don't get me wrong, crysis has some great graphics, particularly it's foliage. But slavs love brick walls.

Fuck, thats super compressed.

Here's a better one, since I couldn't find anything of Crysis' brick walls.

Man you fuckers showed him!

Your cropping suuuuucks!

reddit, normies, console niggers

hey fuck you!

I didn't make the image, it was one of the first results on google.

also

samefag

don't fucking shit on gwent around me negro. I will Nilfgaard your face.

my character didn't look anything like that. who the fuck would use that gay ass hairstyle?

Crysis looks like shit now senpai

>asspained over wall licking screenshots.

And it looks like shit.

Because you're not using the right mods. The screenshot I posted was with a mod I made.

Dont worry. The Ameritards that mock Slavs are seen as uneducated retards by nearly every other western country. Murrica and the people who reside there almost parodic.

Don't you have a corner to be squatting in?

>Consoles
>LArger more varied world

Stalker feels like walking around the ground in a flight simulator game

Anything looks good with mods, what matters is how it looks vanilla.

Crysis was meant to be tweaked. The source code is open source, even.

Do configs count as mods though? considering everything most pics show is already within the engine capabilities without

Because Fallout 4 had to run on consoles.

You're delusional. Just admit the vanilla game doesn't look good anymore.

*without any kind of dll injection or exe modification

...

It doesn't. All of the textures other than the faces are runny diarrhea.

Some of the OP's pics are modded, so fair game.

>After purchase mods excuse dev laziness

Can someone please explain the appeal of this series?

>borderline broken quests
>artificial bullet ballistics
>bad performance
>depressing game world
>needs mods to be remotely enjoyable

All Clear Sky pics ITT are vanilla, completely unmodded. Settings on max and play.

bait

Well I guess the people posting modded pics aren't the OP? Crysis, unmodded, still looks better than clear sky.

saying alcoholic slav is like saying short midget

(you)

No, serious question. Not everyone likes this turd of a series.

ITT OP learns what bump maps are for the first time

>t. Dmitry

bait

not him but I had some trouble getting into the series and used to think the same way.

Movement feels a bit awkward and the atmosphere feels a bit boring at first, but once I start enjoying the game for what it is rather than thinking about the memes/hurr atmosphere it became one of my favorites.

Looks like OP is ahead of bethesda as they still don't know what they are.

and how might your media interpret Westerners in WW2?

sorry Vlad, but our canon is our canon, as yours is yours. your commie state cemented our narrative with the onslought of the cold war, and because, well, you were alocholic rapist asiatics.

I am currently playing through Misery, I got to Noah but he has vanished with his shotgun sitting on the floor, how do I get to the Helicopter? I read somewhere about a snork cave?

Looks like shit. Nicely done shit.

>Crysis, unmodded, still looks better than clear sky.

In some aspects it does. In particular Clear Sky has better normal/height maps and a better theme/art style

Because the rest of the game world is livelier and more interactive than Stalker. Stalker's world is very dead and static, devoid of interactivity and completely boring to wlexplore. Not saying FO4 is better, but Stalker is a pretty shit game held up by rabid /k/fags who love ak47s and role playing as Russian mercenaries.

Misery is shit don't worry

Unless they fixed it but IIRC it's total garbage.

>You will never get to play Shadow of Chernobyl with AMK for the first time again

hahaha oh wow

>Stalker's world is very dead and static, devoid of interactivity and completely boring to wlexplore.
So, I take you actually haven't played Stalker

I thought Clear Sky was the worst of the series with its wonky factions implementation and obnoxiously long and crappy end game run.

SoC was an over ambitious mess from both a technical and play standpoint, but had cool set pieces, interesting story twists, and some surprisingly good shootings.

CoP was the most stable out of the box, but the most underwhelming. It didn't do anything particularly wrong, but wasn't that fun either.

Since there isn't any STALKER 2 in the works, how is Survarium holding up?

As some who has never played the Stalker Series...

Are they worth getting into?

Is there some sort of story in the games?

Do I play them in release order?

Do I need to mod them?

Don't mod. Just play them vanilla on master difficulty. Play them in order.

>Since there isn't any STALKER 2 in the works, how is Survarium holding up?

It's probably dead

Survarium looks EH

Escape from Tokarev (sp) looks good, but it's probably the most STALKERish w/o the mystical shit. You go into to zones, get all chiki briki and then try and not die on the way out, similar russian feel w/ graphics and bullet physics.

only the cheeki
know peace from this breeki

>tfw you will never explore the Skeleton Anomaly

>gay ass hairstyle

t. balding neckbeard

...

STALKER was one of the best gaming experiences of my life, played them in college and had such a great time with it

Really felt like I was maintaining weapons and stalking through an open world alone, such a great introvert experience

>Are they worth getting into?
Depends on your tastes, as long as you don't mind getting your ass kicked every now and then, also, no shame in using quicksaves on your first time
>Is there some sort of story in the games?
Yes,
>Do I play them in release order?
Preferably yes
>Do I need to mod them?
Not really, as long as you have the latest patches, but there are some pretty cool QoL mods like the ones mentioned here

The depressing, miserable, lonley game world is what makes it great

Yes, but you might want to skip clear sky.

Yes, a huge story.

I'd recomend it.

Mod them after you've finished them.

...

Suvarium is absolutely dead

>That ribbon rack

Okay im triggered

>>You will never get to play Shadow of Chernobyl with AMK for the first time again
Never played SoC, but I played most of CoP.

Worth it to try this?

>PCunts care more about brick textures than gameplay
can't make this shit up

>shitposters think stalker has bad gameplay

can't make this shit up

Some other tips:
-Play on veteran
-Living in the Zone sucks, and it shows specially on the first hour of the game, bear with it until you get a decent weapon
-Bullet drop distance is kinda exaggerated

>Stalker is a pretty shit game held up by rabid /k/fags who love ak47s and role playing as Russian mercenaries.
holy shit
i have never seen such amounts of "lol stalker isn't fun, STOP HAVING FUN YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS" here before
jesus christ kill yourself you unbearable faggot

So was the original engine developed by GSC or some US dev? I remember reading about how ambitious it was supposed to be with dynamic lighting and shadows with hardware as low as the TnT 2. The Lost Alpha page didn't shine too much light on the original development.

>-Play on veteran

For what purpose? Harder the difficulty the more damage yours and the enemy's weapons do, vice versa as well. Master difficulty means enemies aren't bullet sponges and makes it so you can't just soak up receiving multiple headshots.

Vanilla SoC and Clear Sky have bad gameplay.

YES. If you liked Call of Pripyat you HAVE to try Shadow of Chernobyl, and my favorite mod is the AMK mod though it's years and years old.

AMK adds all kinds of randomized stuff, really mixes the game world up and can make it very difficult (or insanely rewarding) and create all kinds of awesome encounters.

For example:
>wandering near brain frying device lab
>a few blind dogs come at me
>gunshots alert the rest of the pack
>suddenly more than two dozen blind dogs rushing at me from the swamps
>take shelter in a generator shack and stuff myself behind the cylinder water tank in the corner
>steadily shotgun through countless blind doggos until all is quiet
>try to get out from behind cylinder and...
>stuck.
>reeeee as I contemplate reloading, but then idea
>start grabbing dog corpses and pulling them through the gap to the corner with me
>pile them beneath my feet
>soon I can crouch and crawl out from behind the cylinder
I have the screenshot saved at home, it's just a pile of dog death.

The main trick that AMK does is creating a dynamic AI system where the individual NPCs in the world start to develop relationships between eachother based on events in the game, faction alignments, etc.

In that same game I ambushed a shack of Loner STALKERS that try to ambush you.

Little did I know they had friends back at the Bar, and when I arrived they started attacking me, which set off a chain reaction such that the Loners and Duty (occupying Bar force) were in full blown war.

Soon every Loner at the Bar was dead, creating a ghost-town out of a major game hub. Loners were my enemy for the rest of the game. In one quest you have to return to the start of the game, which is a Loner rookie camp. I knew what was going to happen, but had to enter it anyway.

As I was leaving the camp, loot in hand, walking past the piles of dead rookies, I realized that AMK had let me literally become the villain of The Zone.

>supposed to be
"supposed to" never amounts to anything in gaming or tech.

Clear Sky also has better gameplay that F4. CS is pretty underrated but CoP definitely makes it obsolete.

Okay, that sounds nuts. Guess I'll get to it then.

Is it compatible with the "beginner-friendly" mods in ?
