Stalker: Shadow Of Chernobyl?

>Pirate or Purchase
;_; should have wait for catchy alliteration in me mind for post
>>318041136
Buy.
Stalker takes a bit of time to get into, but once you're in, you're in for a wild ride. I'd recommend pirating Clear Sky though.
Pirate. Developers company folded and they won't see a penny of your purchase.
give me a tiebreaker, bubby
>>318041136
Pirate.
Old devs are gone, and you get to choose the patch for it yourself, which is handy for some mods.
for the first time, play patched vanilla, on highest difficulty. The Starter Pack are good to have.
Here's the rookie guide.
>>318041356
This.
One correction, though: the company is still intact but filled with new people. Old devs are gone.
>>318041258
>vote with ur wallet ;))))
holy shit you have autism GSC is hardly even a company at this point you fucking sped
Don't see any reason not to pirate it.
>>318043142
seriously, thank you
Pirate. If you buy it all the money goes to Sergey
>GSC is back
>Cossacks 3 on the way
Be sure to buy atleast 10 copies of Cossacks 3
PIRATE. Devs are down under due to owner who's currently squatting on the IP and ruined any chances of a sequel because he insisted on consolising the game.

>he insisted on consolising the game.
Source? I thought Sergey just shot down the game's production because he's a jew?
>>318043293
>>318043363
nobody really knows what happened but the most common answer is actually the game development was too consolized and thats why sergey liquidated the company
the fact that the devs had been working without pay for months and moved in to a new studio just days before officially quitting speaks more of eastern european corruption and extortion being the culprit, though
>>318041136
Depends if you support rebellion in Ukraine or not.
>>318043485
What? Explain
>>318043481
no money because sergey insisted on having the game run on consoles and the devs didn't have enough experience with that shit so the development ran extra long, ran into too many costs and dev went abloobloo and shut it down
>>318043603
thats the most objectively wrong explanation i've ever heard
>>318043727
that's what I heard from one of the artists who posted on krautchan, what's the objectively right one?
>>318041136
>tfw this is one of the games that I would have bought in a heartbeat if they were released as a HD Remaster on PS4
>>318043209
>GSC is hardly even a company at this point
But it is still a company, so they still get paid for the STALKER games sold. Correct?
Then what are you rambling about?
The game is well worth the (probably) measly price tag it has at this point. And the post you quoted doesn't even remotely imply that buying the game is 'voting with your wallet'. Basically you are having a fit over nothing. You sounds like a bitter individual.
>holy shit you have autism
Quite ironic.

I don't want to even think about it.
>>318043829
no you didn't, I was there for his thread and subsequent threads a week later and he didn't speak a word of that
>>318043920
>But it is still a company, so they still get paid for the STALKER games sold. Correct?
THQ published it and sergei owns the ip, either valve/resellers get 100% of the profit or the guy who killed stalker gets it, their new company doesnt have any of the staff from the old one and they are making a sequel to cossacks while completely shutting out the idea of ever working on a stalker game or selling the stalker ip
>>318044149
nigga what, ukrainian ball literally said that they ran into costs due to development for consoles
>>318044256
so go to krautkanal and find me a post that at all implies that you lying autist sperg
>>318044132
>tfw played both SoC and CoP unmodded and loved it
>>318044248
And none of that clashes with anything I said in my post.
>or the guy who killed stalker gets it
Reminder that 'the guy that killed stalker' is also known as 'the guy that gave birth to stalker' so it only makes sense for him to receive what is rightfully his.
If you want to pirate it or tell the guy to pirate it, be my guest. Just don't try to justify it with a good exercise of mental gymnastics.
>>318044657
So did I.
The point is you can't tweak the broken AI in a game where you aim with the sticks. Sounds like a bad experience.
>>318046168
>sergei made stalker
/vg/fags ACTUALLY believe this
>>318046272
>made
I said gave birth. You are only reading what you want to rid, at this point. Obviously he didn't make STALKER all by himself.

PIrate, devs are dead.
Only reason to buy is for convenience and even then a physical copy is better..
>>318041136
Devs are kill if that helps your decision
Someone can fill you on the details on which ZRP tweaks you should apply before starting a new game as well as command line stuff like fixing shadows and head bob and that FOV changer, but trust me mate it's all worth it.
Play on Master difficulty, it means you and everyone else dies much easier, which is a good thing because anything easier means everyone is tons more bullet spongy.
