is STALKER: SoC a good game in /v/'s standards?
It is by my standards
i liked it
only played with mods tho
>>316833528
What's STALKER: System on a Chip?
>>316833528
probably not anymore since this place has been overrun by shitposters and casuals for years now, but STALKER SoC is one of my favorite games.
it's pretty good
if there was a game I could forget about so I could play it fresh again, it'd probably be SoC, since CS is shit and CoP is okay
Keep getting killed by the first group of bandits in AMK. God i suck
One of the greatest games ever made. Don't give a fuck about /v/'s standards since people here unironically discuss halo, cod, and bethesda fallout.
SoC and CoP are on my top ten GOTYAY.
Yes, it's good.
>>316834341
Wow, dude
>>316833528
is vanilla good or do you need mods for this one?
It's good by any reasonable standards anon.
>>316834479
vanilla then mods
>>316833528
Of course
Ive never seen anyone on /v/ shit on the series
>>316833528
Stalker is probably the GREATEST video game series of all time.
>>316834620
clear sky exists, you know
>>316834534
Read fallout 4 threads, champ. I've seen people shit on STALKER there in a vain attempt to defend their latest AAA shitpile.
>>316834702
The Red forest in clear sky is absolutely fantastic
>>316834803
fuck fallout normalfaggots that enjoy eating shit
>>316834341
dont feel bad, later random crap you cant see will take you out.
AMK is the best though. I LOVE it.
clear sky > freedom > duty > ecologists > trash > UKM > satan > monolith
>>316834534
they've been fairly common lately and it only seems to be getting worse. almost all of the threads that were once safe from rampant shitposting seem to have fallen to it now.
Does Guide always die for anyone else? shit stops me from the good ending everytime.
>>316835060
Loner > All of them
>>316834534
eh the new twitch meme generation are certainly trying their best to
>>316833528
It's GREAT, but it's not for all people, you need to patch it, tweak the game's files, mod it, and it will crash often.
If you manage to do all that shit correctly, you'll have a beautiful game.
>>316835209
Holy shit this
Freedom is le so fukhen anarchistic xD teenage angst bullshit
>>316835513
>not keeping the zone free from monokeks, nerds that want to destroy it, and people that kill others on sight simply for being there
Yeah it's fucking STALKER.
Havnt beat SoC yet, I really wanna get to CoP too.
In my opinion, SoC's the most immersive and atmospheric game ever created.
>>316835060
Bandits are so good that they don't even need to be mentioned.
>>316834702
Clear sky isn't that bad.
The rehashed stuff from SoC is probably the worst part about it. The swamps, redone red forest and Limansk are the best parts about it.
>tfw no STALKER 2
Actually it was going to have always online DRM back in 2011.
>>316836603
Visuals are also the best in the series, though it isn't very optimized.
>>316835642
It's called being a loner anon
the only real free faction
>>316833528
/v/'s stadards can be relative, but in my books its great game. Still I think that CoP with Misery is the best Stalker experience.
>>316836832
>being a kek who can't pick a side
>>316834341
1: play on master, everyone dies 1 shot to the head on master, I played through the game this weekend, trust me
2. Game becomes easier quickly after the first 4 hours, when you get weapons that are more accurate and you get shitloads of money and ammo
Just shoot em in the head, they die in 1 shot
>>316834479
Vanilla is fine
Yes
>>316834479
Consult this Starting Guide,
then see the /vg/'s huge Stalker General for more tips and links: >>>/vg/stalker
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 is quite boring.
>>316838047
Stalker General is awful.
They ran out of things to talk about a long time ago, now they just tell each other to kill themselves and bitch about wicked ModDB infiltrators all day.
>>316838457
I've honestly never seen /sg/ in such a terrible state. It's absolutely NOTHING but shitposting in there.
I wish the old /sg/ was back. Even the when the flow of mods stopped and the general started slowing down, the shitposting was kept at a minimum.Fuck you, Holden.
>>316833528
Its insanely good. Games like fallout only dream of having the gunplay this game had. Yet alone the atmosphere. Its also one of the most addictive games i have ever played.
>>316838457
>>316840121
you cunts are making me sad is it that bad?
>>316836654
i'd rather have a 0% chance of stalker 2 than a 1% chance of Bethesda making it
>>316840849
Yep. It's fucking god awful.
I really was one of the best generals in /vg/, but I guess nothing lasts forever.
>>316835060
>freedom higher than duty
>monolith in dead last
>>316840849
>s it that bad?
It's on /vg/, what do you think
lab x18 was pretty cool
>>316834935
I just can't get it to work with my steam version. Shit constantly crashes all the fucking time.
Which sucks because the seconds that it works are incredible.
It's my favorite and I think better than SoC (def CS) but I think SoC is more fun to play and a better vanilla game. I'm not way into modding like some.
>>316841158
please stop
>tfw finally downloaded STALKER
>tfw after days of frustration of getting it to properly work finally do
>tfw start playing it regularly
>tfw you don't enjoy it very much and it just seems like a chore to play
>tfw it partially doesn't grab your interest because there's no memorable characters or engaging story
>tfw you really wanted to enjoy it
I don't know what I'm doing wrong senpai. I asked /sg/ for advice but they just told me to kill myself and to play it on master. But even master feels too easy and ammo is way to plentiful so there's no point in scavenging.
btw can someone post the STALKER pepe, it seems appropriate in this instance.
>run stalker.exe
>start new game
>get to the first camp possible
>sit down at the campfire and listen to the guitar and russians shooting the shit
I don't even want to play it any further, that's all I need.
>>316843238
Don't listen to the morons that tell you to play vanilla. Go with some good mods, ask around on /sg/ for which one will be the best for you. It's a very good game. CoP is only better.
>>316833528
It is a shitty meme game that normal people don't know about so yes.
How do I get it to not crash when I start a new game?
>>316834534
I have been trashing it for years ever since /v/ convinced me to try it and it was complete garbage.
