Metro is a poor man's Stalker. 4A is even made up of GSC castouts.

I'll agree except Last Light had a shitty ending I felt. Big battle is cool but I felt like there shouldve been a last solo segment.

With the more openness of CoP, it could easily have kicked Fallouts balls in if it were made now in a studio that had funding. Stalker is really something special. They were definitely on to something.

In your opinion but I don't find it anywhere near as fun as Stalker and since it pulls you down its linear hallways by the balls it's not nearly as replayable as the Stalker games are.
>>
>>319395602
Escape from Tahrkov or something.
>>
>>319395341
Stalker. Fallout is just utter shit except maybe New Vegas.
>>
Never cared for Fallout, STALKER just completely steamrolled and killed the franchise in my eyes when I finally got around to playing it.
>>
One is an fps with emphasis on realism other is an fps with emphasis on rpg elements and story.
You can't compare them.

It's an mmo?

Well there goes my interest.
>>
Zone of Alienation is so hard and satisfying. Its the first single player FPS game I've played where when I peak around a corner, see an enemy, and don't react within a realistic time frame (0.25-0.35 seconds) they actually just fucking headshot me. They even fucking flank you! The amount of times I thought I was being sneaky by wrapping around a blown up truck or something only to see the other side is now empty and theres a fucking bandit piece of shit behind me raping me.

Fallout can seriously never produce moments like that.
>>
someone linked me to some stalker mod once. downloaded everything, it included the game plus mod installer, updates. it wasnt a torrent, it had an official site. and it wasnt call of pripyat. any ideas what it might have been? i played that a bit but stopped.

It can be played offline, and anyway it isn't really an mmo
>>
>>319396452
You know I've been thingking, what if we had an MMO with areas actually existing as multiple virtual places.
Essentially allowing the dev to control player density, essentially parallel realities in which the player has no control over in which one he'll end up in.
This would allow to preserve the atmosphere of stalker by making encounters with plalyers sparse.
>>
>>319395749

>the best Russian voice acting I've ever seen in a game
>it's an MMO

JUST
WHY?
>>
>>319396842
I'll never understand why someone will hate game just because its an MMO, like what is this reddit bullshit? Who cares if a game is online? You can even play it offline, no one is making you have friends.
>>
>>319396936
I'm like that, it means the combat has to account for the lag time of the server so it ends up with bullshit cooldown based systems.
It also means all atmosphere gets killed by looling at faggots sprinting everywhere, in stalker most groups you see are walking, they live there, they aren't trying to crunch 2hours of play before they go to sleep.
There is also the entire social aspect that I never cared for.
>>
>>319397209
cooldown on what? I didn't see any abilities or anything that could use a cooldown.

Did you not see the part where you can play offline?

You're actually just being a knee-jerk reacting faggot.
>>
>>319396936

Because games that focus on the online/co-op aspect end up being shit most of the time, especially now that the market is over saturated with shit like DayZ clones and survival/combat bullshit, Escape from Tarkov being an MMO doesn't promise anything good.
>>
>>319396721
>>319396749

I guess I am judging a bit too early,but I from what I saw it looks like coop is a focus.

I mean hopefully it'll be good. I really want a stalker esque game with polish and actual funding.
>>
why not both?

Oh I forgot this is /v/ and you can't have sensible opinions
>>
>>319396034
Obviously because in the hands of Bethesda it's doomed.
>>
>>319395341
They're two completely different games, you retard. One is an RPG and the other is an FPSRPG. You may as well ask between Baldur's Gate and Diablo 2 or CS and ARMA.

Unless you're talking about Bethesda's Fallout in which case saying Fallout should net you a ban for having shit taste.

Not talking about Stalker. I think Stalker is a pretty linear game and it gives you literally no reason to revisit previous locations.

They're both different genres really.

Fallout is an RPG, STALKER is an open world shooter.

If you want an immersive, realistic open world shooter then go for STALKER.

If you want an immersive, well written RPG, then go for Fallout.

You can compare Fallout 4 and STALKER if you want since they're both in the same genre, but I think we know who is going to win.

If you plan to move to Russia, play STALKER. If you plan to move to Arizona, Colorado or Nevada, play Fallout New Vegas.
These games are basically simulations.

That isn't true at all. You can literally just walk straight to the end of the game or any of the side areas.

CoP has nothing to do.
>>
You can not even compare the two... well maybe for the fact that both are bug-infested as hell.

got over 2k+ hours in both, lemme give you a quick pro/con

-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-
Pro: Atmosphere is awesome, there is a shitton of mods, game got tons of replay value with them
Cons: Vanilla is broken near the point of unplayability, the russian translation is crunky at best, modding is a pain in the ass and most of the time you wont even know why you get a crash

Fallout
Pros: Huge world, tons of shit to do, probably a shittion of mods once the GECK is released, and some DLC (milk me todd ._.)
Cons: Bug. Mania. New Vegas got nothing on FO4

>>319400019

>"Hey Stalker, go and kill that soldier"
Literally MMO-tier mission.

you can skip about 50% of the game head on by rushing to two areas, then turborush the final two levels, takes about 3 hrs.

What exactly does stalker do better than Fallout NV? Because the last time I played stalker it had terrible translation, barely any enemy variety, the difficulty curve was terrible since at the beginning it was hard as fuck but once you got a decent rifle the game was easy as fuck, the story was almost nonexistent and it wasn't even open world since you had a linear path only it was a little bit wider than in most linear shooters.

The difference is that STALKER actually has good gameplay, while Fallout games seem to try to make the gameplay as miserable as possible barring Fallout Tactics.
>>
They're drastically different games that have nothing in common except for being an FPS with an inventory system.

The fuck kind of question is that? Which is a better series? Fallout pre BoS and after that it's straight up STALKER.

FO1/2 > STALKER > Metro > Fallout 3/NV/4
>>
>>319400353
>>319400380
but fallout one and 2 have a very similar map system, of smaller cells on a world map, and fallout also gives you little reason to return to a place repeatedly asides for turning in quests, same as STALKER. don't act like because its an rpg that somehow doesn't make the main plot line not linear. even stalker had factions and choices

The highlight of Stalker is the setting and atmosphere, which permeates the entire game.

I currently have been playing FNV with some pretty nifty mods since I never ended up finishing it when I played it awhile ago. But I'll always have some rendition of Stalker on my PC which I still have never finished any version. SoC furthest I got was Military Warehouses n shit I think, CS I got bugged in the Red Forest and CoP I always give up once I get to Pripyat. I got Call of Chernobyl installed though and it's surprisingly stable more so than FUCKING NEW VEGAS GOD DAMN THAT SHIT CRASHES A LOT.
