>joining a faction full of weed smokers and hippies

Why no STALKER threads anymore?

eventually the zone got them.

The zone took them user.

Cossacks 3 comes out next month. Stalker 2 when. Also someone should make a Stalker mod for Cossacks 3.

The last official game came out almost 8 years ago.

H-HAHИ!

>All the old STALKERS are dead.
>The newbies believe the government's lies and never go deep.
This kills the Zone.

>press F to Cheeki

...

>not being best bro's with freedom

Are the stalkers Russian or Ukrainian? I mean the developers and location is the latter, but they use rubles? What is their language?

And the ZONE kick you out!

Belarussian.

Stalker is in Russian but it takes place in Ukraine and is made by a Ukrainian company. I think there are some points where stalkers say Ukrainian phrases though.

>joining

freedom cancer summarized in one picture

theres not a whole lot of difference between ukraine and russia. most ukrainians speak russian. most ukrainians used rubles. it's been a part of russia for most of its recent history. they dont have a separate culture.

is there any mod that turns everyone in the zone into cute lolis?

Has there ever been a mod that adds female models?

>why are there no women in the zone
idk
why are there no women in somali warzones

do people honestly want to go through the controversy of adding realistic roles for women in a game like stalker that would either have them as victims, scientists protected by men or sex slaves?

the only alternative is turn them all into super powerful womyn who 360 noscope bloodsuckers but this isnt fucking Overwatch

ARE YOU LITERALLY TELLING RIGHT NOW THAT THE YEAR IS TWENTY SIXTEEN AND THERE IS NO MOD THAT ADDS FEMALE MODELS?! HOW ARE MY WIFES SON AND I GOING TO ENJOY THE GAME NOW? LIKE, REALLY?

pointless discussion

only western devs would pozed enough to add females in combat zone

>realistic
Just like realistic mutants, anomalies and monoliths are, innit.

>implying the noosphere isnt real

I don't know if it was in the original game, but in AMK1.4 one STALKER tells a story of an Exosuit STALKER who saved his life from mutants, it turns out it was a female. who knows if canon.

I went as a Loner in the first game and didn't really bother with factions, but Clear Sky really seemed to be pretty Duty-favored.
>first time you meet Duty members they're relatively friendly fellas who know their shit, and there's an optional cool scripted event where you travel with them for more protection
>first time you meet Freedom members they threaten you and the characters are dudeweedlmao fucks, plus they tolerate scummy bandits faction war wise

samus?

fan fiction

It's been done to death

freedom has the right ideas, to bad they're bad at what they do. if duty didn't want to destroy the zone they'd be flawless

there's 24/7 STALKER general at: Here's the Stalker Starting Guide for rookies.
Play in release order, start with no mods - only latest patch, or grab the Starter Pack for extra fixes (SRP / ZRP...etc) and light visual mods (Abs.Nature, Shaders Max, AtmosFear, FOV Switch...).

Don't give up at the beginning or come back bitching about inaccurate guns! We know the rookie gear sucks. Get a rifle, a scope, and AP rounds, ASAP. Lrn2/aim to the head.

Monolith did nothing wrong

Not much buzz right now since we're all waiting for never ever mods like Gunslinger, Shoker 3.0 and LA:DC.

**That's pretty clever.**

Freedom > Duty solely because of all that real fucking NATO. Russian trash is so garbage it hurts. Smoke weed and make them smoke 5.56 or go home.

nato guns are gay as fuck

Only good NATO guns are 7.62 which Freedum don't have.

>not killing everyone for mad loot

Just a question brah

There are no women in the zone. There is even a joke about it in the game.

YOU are gay.
5.56 is superior. 99% of mods give shitloads of 7.62 to Freedom anyway.

nato guns all feel like plastic
IMHO

5.45×39mm or 9x39mm rounds all the way

Old game.

You should be thankful that it even got that amount of attention for that long. Many games fall off a lot faster.

there's been a STALKAN thread almost daily for 9 years now. You just gotta keep eyes open.

Hell, some much older games, from FEAR to old Doom, still get threads from time to time. STALKER is still relatively fresh.

stalker, vtmb, morrowind, deus ex will forever evoke discussion

do not forget Silent Hill.

Don't forget NV

>5.56 is superior.

I cam here to laugh at you.

no, you are gay

the ak family, vintorez and shotguns are the only acceptable weaponry

Hellboy rule

To keep this thread from dying.

Post your standard loadout for the zone.

G36 + 200 ammo for bandits
Pump Shotgun + 50 ammo for mutants
Eco/SEVA suit
GRENADA x2

Vintar BC
vodka

not him, but Sig 550 is fucking boss as well.
>inb4 muh weight!

>playing stalker
lol

how hard is that? iirc isnt there just the red forest in between those?

Depends on the mod im running with.
I usually run with a suppressed sniper rifle/DMR and a tacticool NATO weapon.

Get out of here, Stalker!

do you honestly ever need the grenade launcher

The thumpgun works great on Pseudogiants, Burers, Controllers and the occasional unaware Chimera.

im reading it at the moment, at the part where red sells stuff in the hotel, love it so far watch the tarkovsky movie, its amazing

Well depends really.

First stop is Military Warehouse/Freedom Base aka Bloodsucker Village, but I suppose you can mostly skip that.

Then there is Red Forest with X-(something) if you want to make it harder.

Last but not least you have to navigate through most of Prypiat and clear the fucking monolith statue

Vintar (Duty main rifle)
9x39 Standard ammo x200
9x39 Armour Piercing x200
USP or Kora
45' Standard x50
45' Armour Piercing x50
Clear Sky Tier 2, forward scout armour or Duty Tier 2 Soldier uniform.

I have been playing COC non stop since January

they have nothing in common, well except for being overrated poop

with the game I mean

No but I did on youtube watch the movie STALKER which was really good and deep on a Russian level.
That ending scene where they all lose their shit just outside the Wishgranter was some hard ball shit.

Anyone else think that the second two games are extremely mediocre compared to the first one?

Friend let me borrow it a few years ago.

Should really reread it as I dont remember a whole lot. The one part that has stuck with me was the one researcher that was being led through the zone walking into something like a spiders web and dying later.

Stalker needs more instadeath shit

Yup. It's great read, and I'm not really even into books in general.

the first game is extremely mediocre compared to other games

>just finished STALKER and got this ending for first try

I'm okay with this

The seconds ones seemed to have left the behind the atmosphere and story greatly. CoC was slightly better but i think that the first one was greatly superior.

>he isn't a glorious ecologist whi improves mankind through artifact research
>instead he joins the nazi-tier faction so he can shoot stoners and act like this makes him a badass
please walk into the nearest bloodsucker den and accept your fate.

because of /vg/

You didn't play Clear Sky user to shit talk the atmosphere.
The games weather, and floral content where better in CS than in CoC, the maps where bigger and there where more of them.
The game also had really scary and hard areas.
CoC did a great job with the path to the brain scorcher but in CS they had the Yantar lake which was scary as fuck and could kill you quickly if you fucked around and it had the most terrifying place in all of STALKER and that is the Red Forest which was an onslaught of psi emissions, powerful mutants, rogue stalkers and instant kill anomalies.
CS was the 'bad' one of the series but if you soldier through the shit parts then it really is an unpolished gem.

Finished it a few hours ago. Got the same ending.

Fuck, I even had the same loadout as this user

it's OK, almost everyone gets a bad, fake ending of some sort on the first run anyway.

If you got an older save from before NPP, I'd suggest checking out your main mission objectives.

>stalker released 10 years ago

Got this one my first run in SoC

I completed all of them. While I agree that clear sky did have some decent parts and that the graphics are the best of the games it's still the worst game.

I've joined neither of them.

Always freelanced for the most part.

My problem with Duty is Noble people, corrupt horseshit upper management.

I just remember freedom being like anarcho whateverthefucks.

And not that bad overall.

I liked Clear Skies Science mandate.

Sadly so user, shame that the company was forced to rush it out to cash in I guess on the small crowd of people that liked Stalker.
Shit either that or the Russian mob wanted the game out since the CEO of the company apparently loaned money off them.
Don't know why they haven't attempted to kickstart stalker again?, id love to see stalker 2.

It had best enemy AI though, I have no idea why new NPC animations like blindfire, going prone, jumping over obstacles and others weren't present in CoP.

My guy went blind.

What's that

Yeah, CoP's AI seemed a bit lacking to me, but maybe it was just the large, relatively vacant maps.

My guy wished to rule the world

Loved it personally

Okay seriously, /sg/ is cancer so I'm asking you guys to tell a noob how to git gut.
I'm heading to garbage right now but the bandits fuck me up everytime. They literally shoot me from distances where I can barely see them with the AK and also through bushes which cover half the map. Also the weapons are inaccurate as fuck. How the fuck do I get good at gunfights?

They don't call them bloodsuckers for nothing

Don't sugar coat it, Stalker handles it's ending system poorly.

Run away.

If you really want to fight use cover and try to get closer so inaccuracy isn't as big a deal. Bursting is also effective at medium range.

the AI is damn good, actually.
CS just had tons of pointless clutter around to provide more cover, and thus make landmark occupying assaults longer, more challenging tasks.

The blind-fire and such animations also used to glitch out and get NPCs stuck way too often in CS.

If I recall correctly, bandits in The Garbage respawn a lot more than in other areas. Don't even bother, they're a waste of ammo.

But one has never truly lived if he hasn't cleared The Garbage once, so like said, get close and fuck them up.
