Monolith in Dark Valley after two days of gameplay? More likely than you think.

BANG, BANG

...

I just installed Call of Pripyat. What am I in for lads?

Thin story line but comfy blowouts and snorks will comfort you

>tfw it took me about 10 tries to chuck a nade through the window to take them all out
Worth it. One of the corpses landed right in the barrel fire and another Loner showed up a while later and played the guitar by it

Which stalker is about searching shit and surviving shit in the zone?

time to go back in

The best Stalkan experience wihtout mods.

if you played SoC, Less railroading, worse plot, more non scripted things happening around the zone with more freedom to explore it and a pretty lackluster ending area

it feels more like a testing ground for big overhaul mods to stalker, like CoC

game keeps making my comp black screen and I have to restart manually. Good times

I once saw bad people playing the game, it was Horrible

The end.

...

Misery 2.2 is a blast.

I have really hated it before when I tried earlier versions but something just clicked this time and I found out how to make money. About to enter the Pripyat tunnels.

...

Sup

DUDE WTF

...

what the fuck is that. All I saw was the lions eyes shift and im immediately creeped the fuck out

That's The Kindergarden in pripyat (CoP)

...

I own SoC and CoP. had to drop SoC on the entrace of the red forest because my PC died.

fastforward some years. I want to play again but the guides on /sg/ seem more unorganized than I remember them (or maybe I just got more retarded). Should I even bother to try SoC again or should I jump to CoP?

...

finish SoC, or mod it with some light overhaul to atleast get something more refreshing instead of the same thing until red forest

Going through Clear Sky right now, praying to jesus my saves will survive this time.

Man, bloodsuckers ain't what they used to be. I was jogging along through the red forest at night when I ran into one and the first thing I realize is that they now give you two whole warnings before they attack, just so you don't get too startled. Then one comes at me and tries to get me from behind so I follow his invisible ass with a shotgun and wait for him to stop being bulletproof and after his second lap around me I realize I just have to let him bite me in the asscheek or he won't fuck off.

First time I ran into one in SoC I nearly shat my pants, now they've become a chore to deal with, makes me kinda sad.

>playing Clear Sky

Why exactly? It's the worst stalker and doesn't add anything.

The CS experience

Fuck you, I just uninstalled all the games to make room on my PC and now I'm probably going to reinstall CoP to play CoC.

I can't stop playing CoC but I'm out of ideas. What do you guys do for fun in it?

Turn on Azazel mode and set objectives for myself like "clear X area" or "go to X and not die on the way there". Or I just keep wiping out those bandits in that school as a merc.

Why is there no name for this track ANYWHERE
its by far the best
(3;30 in the video)

...

So I have all three games, but I'm a pussy when it comes to horror games. I'm not too much a stickler for graphics, as long as the gameplay is decent (or if the "wonkiness" can be learned over time). I just don't know which to start with.

Recommendations? I have Clear Sky installed, but I still have to get the other two installed.

It's the only one I haven't finished yet.

And honestly, save bugs aside, it might be my favorite. It's like a cross between the other two, it's got the linear story like in SoC and it has all the fun mechanics from CoP.

My man.

I'm doing a new run as Recon. I finished 2.1 as a sniper and fell in love.

Shadow of Chernobyl is the one to start with and it also happens to be the best one.

Did you make this?

It's funny.

...

no, its old as shit

It's been like a decade do you really have to keep pretending this load of garbage is good? Like.... really dude? REALLY?! Really..... really?

Is this from a mod?

...

jesus christ

fucking NO

...

...

So why there is no new stalker games?

anyone have the webm of the 'leave here man' encounter?

Meh, this one wasn't scary at all, the game only have a handfull of mutants to fight, and they all appear before this part.

>losing health right when the screen turned blue

Can the controller psi damage you even without directly attacking? I think i've had something similiar happening at the bar.

depends, i think it only does in CoP and mods, i don't remember there being damage on unmodded SoC

bullshit. I hadn't seen a controller until that point.

the first one
none of the others come close to matching the atmosphere. there are some minor things that will make it feel almost unplayable if you got used to the newer ones first.. its like gta sa and gta3. like you couldnt jump out of moving cars in 3 you had to come to a complete stop to get out. if you played sa first that complete stop throws you the fuck off.

Meh main quests
Great side quests
A t m o s p h e r e
Maximum comfy

You did, you saw it on the end of agroprom, that one is scripted, but its still bullshit, since thats pretty early in the game so you don't know that you have seen every mutant in the game

also, you technically didn't since inside the room you find your first and i think only fire poltergeist

License holders a cunt original team is gone.

Really? also while talking about how overly scripted the first game is, 2 bloodsuckers spawned on the door where you enter to encounter your very first bloodsucker, totally ruined my "fear", other time when you encounter the controller for the first time, i had to fight the military guys but they all had the stairs advantage so i got the idea to return all the way back to the entrance and the game ordered me to use the exit close to the militarystairs, totally retarded.

There was an STALKER 2 in progress but Sergei bailed and took the money with him

All of them.

Consult this Starting Guide,
then see the /vg/'s huge Stalker General for more tips and links:

Play in the release order. Start with no mods - only latest patch, OR get the full "Starter Pack" first; these contain bug-fixers and light visual mods that can help performance as well.
Leave big overhauls for later playthrougs. Avoid the "Complete" -mods. Always play on MASTER difficulty for best realism and atmosphere, and disable crosshair.

Don't give up in the beginning! The starting gear sucks ass and first area can be a bit boring.

remember your first time on this part?

...

is this I Work Alone mod?

ahh, this is the guide I used a long time ago. thanks senpai

that fucking ladder with the manhole cover blocking it. i honestly thought there was no way out

I had no medkits left so I figured I'm just gonna leg it up the ladder, immediately got mowed down as soon as I got out.

It's just CoP with mods listed in this guide

...

What's the best STALKER game to start with?

Like every other form of media, the first one

see = the first one.

Well alrighty then.

Just finished vanilla SoC. That was probably the worst ending segment and gunplay I've seen in a long time. Replaying with Autumn Aurora now.

The first one, a graphics overhaul for it at most if you are one of those graphics fags that cant handle old things

still make sure that its only a graphics mod and doesn't change anything else

What ending did you get ?

So I remember there was a thing called Narodnaya Soljanka or something, which was supposedly huge and a completely new experience.
I remember it started in a cave with an exoskeleton and a minigun and some completely alien anomaly I've never seen in any of the games before. It looked promising but I dropped it due to the broken translation. Was that ever fixed?

...

God damn what a terrible game

Playing through SoC right now, have the starter packs installed but I'm not sure if they're working, anyway I'm doing the mission where you have to escort the scientist from the train yard and I'm stuck on it, saved in a spot where I'm about to be ambushed by a bunch of bandits and I don't have much ammo. What should I do?

...

...

That one just made me giggle like a retarded girl

run
just let him die kruglov doesn't need to live

I'm So glad that shit wasn't actually in the game nor any mods that i have played, shits truly terrifying just like that fucking lion

Yeah I'll try I guess. Wasn't even going to the railroad station for that quest, I was trying to find the rifle of that guy in the bar

Never post with that picture again.

your going to miss out on some rewards but it wont end the game if he eats it

check if you don't have autosaves before entering the wild territory and stock up on ammo, you don't need to save him, but well it sure is nice to be able to complete the quest properly

Yeah I did the quest once before but I wasn't playing on master like I am on this file. Don't you get a nice pistol from the quest or can you just find that in the area?
I'll check that too, didn't think I'd run out of ammo but I forgot the enemies ate bullets even on master

You know what stinks?
Being forced to watch the fucking cutscene

pc gaming looks like shtt

>start in cordon
>first chest holds a freedom exosuit
>get to enjoy it for about 5 mins until some fucks aggro the chopper and it shoots me to shit
Such is life.

What, the lion ?

And I don't particularly care for anal sex but I don't come to homosex threads to complain to you about it

Yeah I had an autosave just a couple of steps behind the load zone for the cutscene so I would have to watch it every time I messed up

That clusterfuck came to be known as "STALKER SOUP" later on, and has like a dozen versions out these days. It's still just that: a clusterfuck.

If the main menu says "ZRP mod", and nights are actually DARK, Starter-Pack's mods are working.

You should consider keeping multiple saves, and stocking up on ammo. Loot corpses.

I read it in his fucking voice
