So which one do you like better /v/?
>>343043562
They're made by similar developers. Many of the same people who made stalker ended up on the Metro team
>>343043562
metro. stalker is overrated
>>343043562
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is the correct answer.
Metro is basically spoopy cowadoody in post apocalyptic Moscow.
/v/ dickrides stalker like crazy but metro is an objectively better game
>>343043629
many of the people working on stalker left the project even before the launch of the first episode.
>>343043653
metro have 0 replayability and is nothing but a fucking corridor, it's not the same level.
you literally need autism to find stalker fun. its insanely boring.
metro for sure
>>343043562
STALKER in every aspect
>>343043653
Shit taste confirmed.
>>343043849
This
i like metro better than vanilla stalker but i like modded stalker better than metro.
Metro is absolutely the better made game, but I enjoy the premise of STALKER more.
>>343043562
Fallout 3, duh.
>>343043849
>"neo /v/ and summersfag are just a myth"
They're not even going for the same thing. I enjoy Stalker much better though. Metro is way too scripted for me. I did enjoy them when I played them but I haven't really had any desire to replay them.
I like having an inventory like in Stalker and actually having the items on my character rather than just pressing a button and having the items be used. 2033 is better in this aspect as you can actually equip grenades and knives but they ruined it in LL. But yeah, inventory > keys linked to pockets. You also don't have a weapon limit in Stalker outside of how many you can carry. It just has a better gameplay design, or at least one that appeals to me more, and so feels so much better to play, even more if you add in the linear vs more open aspect.
STALKER.
While the Metro game are more polished, they are also very linear, thus I prefr STAKER for the big open levels.
>>343044153
>"i said it again mom"!!
Kids liking metro games over stalker is the reason why /v/ is a shitplace.
One puts you in an open world where everything is dangerous as fuck, the other puts you in the shoes of whoever that needs to shoot at baddies and not shoot the mutants that aren't red.
>>343044153
>everyone who doesn't like what i like are neo /v/ and summerfags >:-(
>>343044226
Come back when you're 18.
Or don't, we don't need a faggot enjoying a cawodudee version of stalker for toddlers.
>>343043562
I think Metro is a far tighter game, it's different strokes for different folks here though. One is linear while one is a bit more open.
>>343044713
One is legitimately difficult, the other is a walk in the park at the highest difficulties
>>343044713
I got SoC and both redux metros this steam sale, I am basically banking on this being the case. One for a linear story and one to go cheeki breeki.
>>343044713
>a bit more open.
>a bit
Jesus what do you fucking need more? Space exploration in S.T.A.L.K.E.R?
>>343044896
Yeah
Couldn't stand how fucking scripted Metro was. Did not feel like I was playing a game, just going from cutscene to cutscene. STALKER's the far better game, and it has the modding scene going for it.
>>343044896
We'll have that soon enough.
>>343045718
The first game has legitimate issues with letting you roam free on your own. Last Light, however, fixes that problem mostly (after a tedious first two hours).
i remember dropping stalker years ago because of the accuracy of the weapons. i'm sure there's a mod for this right?
>>343045840
>>343043653
shit opinion
>>343044161
This.
They're completely different games and not even attempting to compete with each other. The only similarity they have is a similar tone.
Metro and STALKER are both enjoyable series with different strengths and weaknesses.
Never saw the appeal of Metro, its on the rails, short and quite boring. Its like a CoD campaign and feels like it should be attached to a bigger game.
>>343046047
Yes practically all weapon mods increase accuracy and make the game a whole lot easier as a result.
>>343043562
STALKER.
Metro is just an atmospheric, linear and cinematic console-shooter.
>>343046047
>i remember dropping stalker years ago because of the accuracy of the weapons.
Way too many impatient ADHD rookies do this, unfortunately. However, I'd guess that majority of your kind of people are not aware of few of the game's features:
1) bullet physics. There's no hit-scan guns.
2) RPG-like progression when it comes to gear. Starting stuff is shit, later gear better.
3) Using crosshair, instead of ADS. Low-crouch and single-shot firing mode also help A LOT.
Once you get a scope on your AK, you will start popping heads left and right.
>>343043562
Stalker, Metro games are more like movies.
They're hardly comprable beyond the fact that they have a (semi) similar setting and share the same origins/developers. They're both good
FUCKING ENB WON'T WORK ON WINS 10 FUCK
>>343048641
enjoy your """"""""gaming""""""" experience bro
>>343047769
I remember escaping X18 with my abakan that I'd just gotten a scope fore, I don't think I have ever felt so powerful in a game before.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is not an on rails shooter so it's better
Metro is linear missions. Stalker is an open world sandboxey thing. Open world sandboxey thing is superior.
>>343049223
funny recently i see a lot comment bashing open world game. it almost like console can't run open properly so they bash it instead.
>>343047769
>using crosshair
wot r u doing m8?
>>343049468
But skyrim and fallout are console games
People are just sick of shitty open worlds that have not much going on in them, which was very much a problem with skyrim.
Stalker's premise of being super danger fucked up death zone where you scavenge to survive and find powerful valuable radiationmagic artifacts was super hype though
Stalker is the best open world fps game ever made, while metro is a very atmospheric, but standard fps game. I'll take Stalker.
this
>>343049654
im pretty sure skyrim fallout are hold back hard by console power. the town look unconvince.
Anyone else find stalkers setting to be a lot more interesting? The Zone is such a cool place, it feels kind of real, in a way. Metro's supernaturalism never really hit me the right way, and the whole nazi war thing felt absurd. I get that they were going for an allegory, but still, that felt so out of place.
When will we get a new and more streamlined stalkan game?
>>343047769
>Using crosshair, instead of ADS
>Using crosshair

Anon...
You seriously play with crosshairs toggled on in stalker?
You've never known the joy of hipfiring a slug through the brain of a snork midflight without cheating?

>>343049557
>>343049853
>reading comprehension is sooo hard!!
t: (You) two.
I was listing the earlier Anon's POTENTIAL mistakes, which could give him an impression of worse accuracy than there actually is. Using crosshair is one of them.
tl;dr: read the entire post next time.
Why do all the Stalker games run like complete garbage? Are there any mods that make it run somewhat well?
depends on what you want, metro is a linear story game, whereas stalker is an open world quest based game that focuses more on exploration are readiness inventory to survive the zone.
I like both tho my dispersion to explore in game makes me like stalker more I get more out of it but that's not to say that the metro games are straight hallways there is room for mild exploration.
>>343049835
that nazi thing was dumb even in the book, it felt really hamfisted
haven't played the games personally but stalker is my fuggen jam.
>>343049836
What's there to streamline?

Sounds like your PC is shit, because I already ran SoC on DX9, med-high settings, 1024x768, > 30fps average, back in 2007, with P4 2.4Ghz, 3GB DDR1 and Geforce 6600GT 128mb.
My current i5 2500 + 8GB DDR3 + GTX 560ti has no problems running the games at DX9-11 modes, 1920x1200, all but in-game AA maxed up (it doesn't even work on dynamic lighting modes). Even with various mods, I still get 50+ fps by average.
That being said, you could try the Starter Packs. The visual mods included CAN also improve performance a huge deal, especially when installed on lower quality / max performance settings.
>>343050038
okay, I admit that I didn't word it out exactly the best possible way.
tl;dr: Do not use crosshair. Aim with sights.

based stalker bread
I got more hours of entertainment from STALKER than from Metro, but I got more entertainment / hour from Metro.
>>343049920
They run well overall, even on a shit PC. The only game you're going to have problems with is Clear Sky.
feel patrician that i pirate every s.t.a.l.k.e.r. and finished it on launch.
STALKER.
Metro games are good, but the replayability is not so good.
I couldn't beat the first mission when I tried stalker. I even tried master difficulty because its supposed to make the enemies weaker too, still got my ass handed to me. My allies are useless and die instantly, at least they give me a shotgun
>>343044286
>everyone who enjoys Stalker has autism!
That was you.
>>343050678
What do you mean you couldn't? How can you possibly get stuck in a game with quicksaves?
>>343043562
I like both, for different reasons.
>>343043562
Metro
i love Stalker but when it comes replaying one of them i rather choose Metro.
Plus it has way better gameplay
>>343043562
both are good but STALKER because you can explore at your pace and are not being railroaded or forced to follow around AI
best parts of metro were when you were alone
STALKER.
Metro is very short, linear, has forced autosaving and one way paths that really fuck you if you want to backtrack, less interesting guns and gun mechanics, less interesting enemies, is very scripted, is simple (no artifacts, no concept of inventory), and I don't even like the plot even though the game focuses so much on it. There is no draw to replay the game, either. I still haven't been able to convince myself to give the sequel a chance.
>>343050678
Your guns suck total ass without a mod in the beginning of SoC. It won't become better until toward the end of the 2nd area or so. All you can really do is aim for the head, lean, and try not to get pincered.
>>343050803
It is kind of shitty to quicksave during a fight.
>>343050703
>everyone who plays metro are toddlers!!
that was you.
I'm a slav, neither of those games have much appeal to me in terms of atmosphere/locations. Metro games had better gameplay.
fallout 4 is better than both
>>343050703
>>343051034
You are both very mature and enlightened
>>343043653
shit faggot
Metro has better atmosphere and story but STALKER is just generally more fun.
>>343051085
in interest, what is your opinion on big american penis city settings like grand theft auto? What exotic locations does the slav long to for comfy?
Stalker.
I don't see how it's even a comparison. Just because they are both made by slavs doesn't mean they are they are even remotely the same.
>>343051103
SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME!! I DARE YOU!!
I feel like giving Stalker series a shot so should I start with Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky or Call of Pripyat?
>>343052024
FALLOUT 4 IS THE BEST GAME IN HISTORY YOU WORTHLESS RAIDER CHIMP
ARTYOM WALK DOWN HALLWAY HERE
>>343051625
European medieval and ancient architecture is always nice to see, i'm a sucker for architecture that are older than 200+.
NY is interesting to see for all those skyscrappers and billboards, same with other games that feature high tech cities (so stuff like sleeping dogs, gta IV).
So basically, extra old things or super new things are interesting because I don't have much around.
For actual comfy landscape ETS covered it pretty well with fields and forests, it only lacked snowy settings. Forests + snow is perfection.
Why do people like STALKER? I've tried it twice, but it looks and runs like shit and I just don't understand the attraction to it. Is there something I'm missing? I mean, graphics don't bother me usually but the scariest thing about Pripyat is its Pop-in.
>>343052535
SAme as with any other series: release order
>>343052727
How far have you gotten?
>>343052727
With mods i can look pretty good but the main appeal is a great immersive atmosphere with great gunplay for a singleplayer fps.
>>343047769
I remember getting Stalker when it went on sale just to see what it was about, years ago; I remember getting so enamored of the game's fiction and atmosphere.
There was some town full of gray-suited military dudes, I remember killing their leader and stealing his shit, then slowly murdering my way out of the complex, ascending a high point, and pot-shotting anybody who looked at me funny.
Found out later I fucked myself out of some good times later, but I enjoy a game that lets me ruin the experience as badly as I've ruined my life.
>>343049894
>I was listing the earlier Anon's POTENTIAL mistakes
His only mistake is playing vanilla SoC which is a shitty broken pile of trash
>>343043562
stalker will always be the ultimate slavic gasmask game. forever.
>>343052727
>how can people have different tastes than me THE POST
>>343043562
If Metro's map was open and interconnected I would enjoy it so much more.
>yfw
>>343054512
BANG BANG
I like both.
>>343043562
There's no point in comparing them, they have completely different gameplay styles.
>>343044226
Faggot.
>>343043629
>So which one do you like better /v/?
>They're made by similar developers.
?????
I played stalker for about an hour before I got bored, I finished 2033 and nearly last light before my hard drive gave up. metro has a very intense almost religious story while stalker is the usual open world one. I enjoyed metro more than stalker

how are the metro games?
is October a good time to play them? i gotta be in the mood you know
Hey guys what mods should I get for STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl?
>>343043562
SoC > Metro 2033 > CoP > Last Light > Clear Sky
>>343043562
I tried playing Metro 2 and the start of it was so fucking long and boring I turned it off.
STALKER is janky shit made by retards but once you acclimate and begin to understand it it's pretty cool.
>>343043562
I've been replaying Stalker for years now, modded and vanilla. Metro is fun for one playthrough.
>>343043653
>stalker. metro is overrated
Fixed that for you.
>>343043562
Definitely Stalker.
>>343049730
>stalkerfags can't speak like a normal human being
>>343055597
>shittiest most boring and linear Stalker is the best
nice meme
>>343055409
If you enjoy stalker, you will enjoy the metro games as well.
They are more story driven, since a large portion of the game is spent inside metro tunnels, however there are optional areas and sub sections, that allow for secrets / limited exploring for ammunition and items.
I mostly enjoy the atmosphere really. Captures the apocalyptic feel very well.
I hear the newer versions suffer from downgraded lighting which effects the atmosphere.
Can't comment past that, as I don't own the revamped versions.
>>343055846
>>343055409
Stay far away from Redux 2033, get the original. Redux Last light is basically a GOTY anyway just a DLC bundle and I don't think you can get vanilla LL anymore if you wanted it anyway.
2033 Redux ruined Artyom's voice, the atmosphere, the lighting, the AI, the stealth, and they alsogave Artyom a digital watch instead of his analog one
When does stalker being being a really open world game if at all? Playing SoC right now and all I see are small instanced zones with really not enough going for them to call it open world, and they're all connected pretty straighforwardly. so what gives, where this amazing open world at
>>343056157
CoP has only three main areas, but they're much bigger than the SoC/CS areas. It's more focused on exploration.
If you really want to play a open-world Stalker, download Call of Chernobyl.
>>343046047
ZRP with it's first person shooter option, standalone AMK ballistics from the /sg/ repo, AMKor almost any mod that changes weapons in any way
>>343054512
>5.45 groza
Easily the best early/mid game weapon
>>343055846
>If you enjoy stalker, you will enjoy the metro games as well.
Nah. I fucking love SoC and CoP, and Last Light was mediocre as shit. When I dropped it for a week, I had absolutely no desire to pick it up again.
