What have you been up to in the zone recently, fellow stalkers?
>>343396917
Nah, it's been a while.
Last time I tried little of CoC, only to realize it's technically just a new The Faction War.
I guess I can leave this rookie guide picture here, in case there's newcomers lurking this thread, thinking of starting the series.
Play in release order, without big overhaul mods at first (fixes & graphics are OK), always on Master difficulty, crosshair off, and take things slow. Starting gear suck, and the games have bullet physics.
>>343396917
pls tell me bandits also have buggys
>>343397408
>AI controlled vehicles in stalker
I don't think even the soup cooks are such madmen to implement this.
>>343396917
I played SoC half a year ago, finished it vanila then with some graphics and combat mods, the game look and weapons feel beuatiful and everything, but the ingame world gameplaywise sucked dicks, so I didn't finish it for the second time.
I was planning on installing CoP but I'm too big of a afaggot to get all the mods working again and I don't feel like playing vanilla.
>>343397336
CoC would be GOAT if the factions had some kind of grand questline, something that has more story to it than "go kill some mutants or something"
Thinking about starting SoC. can you visit Pripyat too like in CoP?
>>343397676
yes, during one of the quests
probably not during freeroam
>>343397336
Why no overhauls?
Why master difficulty?
Are overhauls unbalancing?
Are the AI dumb shits who can't aim except on master?
>>343396917
I bought the bundle during the sale, can I play SoC blind or do I need an external patch?
>>343398187
See second post.
Autumn Aurora
>>343398117
>Why no overhauls?
Because their quality vary a great deal, can give you more trouble than by default, plus how are you going to tell what parts were in the core game and what's added, if you don't play vanilla first?
>Why master difficulty?
Higher the difficulty, the more damage everything inflicts. To both ways. So you die faster, but so do your enemies. Thus, easy modo almost makes your life tougher.
>Are overhauls unbalancing?
yes.
>Are the AI dumb shits who can't aim except on master?
No. They just have this weird hit % feature, a hit probability value that determines if their shots will inflict damage on you, that is very low on lower difficulties, and only ~50% even on Master.
The AI also re-learns to use some more advanced tricks on higher difficulties.
>>343398187
like said earlier, not necessarily.
the Steam versions are auto-patched to latest, that is the minimum requirement.
>>343396917
Is that the HL2 car?
>What have you been up to in the zone recently, fellow stalkers?
I don't play much as of late.
But I did have a session some weeks ago, just being poor ass loner in the DMMAE (or whatever it was called) which turned out pretty silly since I got seva and abakan in the first fucking stash I found in garbage.
>>343398562
>Is that the HL2 car?
Yeah.
>>343397528
I'm pretty sure that at least one of the leaked betas had AI that was able to use vehicles.
>>343397538
CoP is the only one that works pretty well without needing bug fixes or balance mods if that's what's keeping you from playing vanilla.
>>343397676
>playing STALKER games out of the release order
why do people do this exactly?
>inb4 "someone said it's the best gaem!"
>>343397538
Vanilla SoC is the most stable and gameplay-wise expanded game of the trio. No reason to be afraid of playing vanilla.
I'd only recommend applying Absolute Nature + AtmosFear visual mods on it, to make those outdoor graphics less bland. Obviously FOV Switcher is very handy too.
>>343398498
>that pic
I've never seemed inclined to go the 3A route, whatever that entails aside from using an exosuit. It just seems like a waste to sacrifice sprinting for more armor when a headshot will still drop you regardless.
>>343398923
>that pic
I'll probably make a Zone Creepy Story general later but there is something incredibly frightening that happened to me in my last playthrough of SoC (with the mod Autumn Aurora) :
>After the first fight with the bandits at the Garbage, with Bes and several stalkers that survived
>Night is totally dark, cant see a thing more than 20 feets away with the flashlight
>Total silence, no bandits, no mutants, just me, Bes, 3-4 stalkers at the campfire
>I put the gear I took on the bandits corpse in the crate near the gate and go look for a light I've seen a bit farther away (it was an anomaly)
>Total silence, no firefights, no dialogues, nothing
>Get back to the camp
>Look around
>Everyone is dead
>Quickly search the area for mutants or bandits, find nothing
>Take Bes's tactical AK74U and GTFO of this place
I still dont know what happened. This is the only time I've seen something like that. Nothing is referencing such a thing in AA documentation. I dont know if I will ever find out
>>343398646
is that mod available for SoC?
someone post .webms of Zone shit
>>343399060
It's a standalone SoC mod.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/old-good-stalker-evolution
>>343399186
Well i can't use that since i'm using the Complete mod. is there any standalone vehicle mod that's not too buggy and hopefully that's available in all areas of the map?
>>343399405
>i'm using the Complete mod
Why, what is wrong with you?
>>343398923
>It just seems like a waste to sacrifice sprinting for more armor when a headshot will still drop you regardless.
Not a problem in CoP (and CS if I recall right).
On my first playthrough, I got Freedom's Exoskeleton, which has superior environmental protection, upgraded it to allow sprinting, and used some anti-grav anomalies to allow me to carry whooping 120+ kilograms of shit!
Being a literal walking battle tank felt fucking awesome. Dem Monolith scum had hard time gunning me down with anything outside explosives.
>>343399405
>Well i can't use that since i'm using the Complete mod.
Why in the living fuck would you do that to yourself??
It's fucking obsolete, casual as hell, and only introduces MORE bugs than it claims to fix.
Jesus, 6 years of warning people, down to sewers in seconds.
>>343399446
I'm not very familiar with the STALKER modding scene and didn't know which overhaul to choose. Complete Mod seemed like a sensible choice since it's been around for years and it doesn't change much in terms of the actual gameplay. Also it had alot of good reviews and people were recommending it, so..
>>343399075
>>343399405

Not quite as chilling as much of an "oh fug" adrenaline rush moment, but the other day -
>CoP, heading towards the northwest corner of Zaton after midnight for a stash
>pass a group of 4-5 friendly stalkers in the middle of the swamp, a couple of them appear to be looking for anomalies
>approach the outskirts of the swamp, the minimap doesn't show terrain at all and is useless at this point

>o no
>fire a few shots at it before retreating to the group of stalkers
>it doesn't appear to have followed me back, everything is quiet for a moment
>chimera leaps from the swamp, pouncing directly from one stalker to the next before they can react, killing them instantly
>it pauses to finish one guy that it incapacitated, still standing on his body
>only the leader of their group in an exosuit remains to help me finish it off
>grab my stash that wasn't worth the trip

Why is Misery so hard? Enemies literally see you all across the map? Why is everyone saying I should play it on Easy, because that's the way to apparently play it. Sounds like faggotry to me (source:moddb comment section)
>>343399035
This is the main reason I love this game series more than any other, the shit like this makes it so fucking immersive.
I remember finding the grenade launcher in the abandonded village my first playthrough, only to be ambushed by a bloodsucker the second I get up the ladder. Almost literally shat my pants. That moment sealed my love for the series.
Why is hobo-phase the best?
>>343405608
>Why is Misery so hard?
-it's made to be like that
-you are just bad
-Enemies literally see you all across the map?
if you can see them, they can see you. Simple.
>Why is everyone saying I should play it on Easy, because that's the way to apparently play it.
They're casual faggots.
I started 2.11 with both Black Road and Dark Mode, and after mere few in-game days I was rocking a kickass exoskeleton in Yanov.
>tfw when Azov was accepted foreigners you debated joining up for IRL STALKAN and you know someone with Ukrainian family who shoots AKs and Galils in the forest near his house for fun
>>343406859
Azov battalion is getting its ass kicked though
>>343406859
Tell me more, especially when and where.
>>343407020
It's not accepting foreigners anymore either, I know someone in Pravyi Sektor and someone in Novorussiya. I just want to go full STALKER but I think I'll stick to buying Gorkas and eating canned food.
>>343406404
Because after playing the games for so long, it's the only way the game is really challenging anymore. Unless you impose some stupid challenge or condition for yourself, like only using 9x18 rounds.
Anyone have the /vg/ stalker challenges image? Need some ideas for a fresh playthrough.
If you were to recommend one stalker game to someone which would it be?
I remember trying to play the first one years ago and it not exactly setting my world on fire. Are any of the sequels worth playing on their own?
>>343407327

I really should have bought this damnit, why did I let "friends" fool me into buying Payday 2.
>>343404001
>yeah, fucking nothing in other words.
I've always interpreted them working on Cossacks 3 meaning that Sergei/his brother are treading the waters with a new dev team first tackling on an older IP before working on STALKER 2, know knowing how the team works together a bit better and having more funds (from selling Cossacks 3) to keep production going on longer.
>>343407358
Yes, especially Call of Pripyat. But for the love of the zone, play Shadow of Chernobyl first, it's the best one.
>>343407264
Tbh I don't really know, he's pretty secretive about his Ukrainian family but I've seen videos of him shooting AKs and Galils.
>>343407480
Alright i'll give the first game a go again.
>>343407420
OGSE is free and includes the whole vanilla game and more ontop, fully legal too I don't even know how they did this.
So just download and play.
>>343407398
I'd rather do that than the 9x18 challenge honestly, at least mutants would go down relatively easily.
>>343407551
Good luck out there, stalker. Also, check the guides for the games posted in this thread, if you haven't already.
>>343407563
I always like shotguns and slugs. I used to have great fun loading slug+buck+buck+slug in the pump action shotgun you get.
>>343397548
Even better, why not make it M&B-esque in terms of factions, with the ability of being able to "siege" a faction's stronghold etc.

just use a good overhaul that's not COMPLETE or Misery. SoC has OGSE and Autumn Aurora and CoP just needs graphics mods and maybe a weapon pack. That's IT
Man. Time to reinstall. What game should I go for and what mod, decide for me.
Is there any good out there that revamps the game a lot, I've mostly just played with stuff like AMK so it would be neat with something more expansive.

>>343411124
Bloodsuckers aren't even remotely scary desu, they always snarl like as if it was a rabbit giving a blowjob with a sore throat so you can hear them coming from a mile away, their eyes shine like a pair of chrome titties being illuminated by a 500 lumen light at the middle of the night, they hang out alone and they don't give you the succ unless you expose your back like an idiot.In CoC this is a big exception however, and a surprising one. They almost always hang out in groups of three, they're near-impossible to hear and they are REAL eager to get you the succ.
Chimeras on the other hand can be fucking terrifying to fight if you're on unfovarable ground. Fuckers are quick, they jump around like a fucking grasshopper and once they start pounding your ass, they go in hard and dry.
>>343411726It would be shit and you know it.

I just exited the first sewer in SoC and encountered that OP faggot with psychic abilities. Now I have to steal military files alone with almost no ammo. How the fuck am I supposed to stealth this.

I wonder. What type of sausage, bread, and vodka would be most similar to STALKER items? I'm kinda hungry.
>>343415998
Just bee your'reself
>>343415998
Try cowering in one of the barracks if all else fails and camp them out from the windows. It's virtually impossible to stealth since the alarm goes as soon as you're seen or you fire a bullet iirc.
>>343416498
I do have a silencer but cheekis still see me. And it doesn't help that all my weapons are inaccurate as fuck.

>>343417404
Holy shit, no, don't. It's what I used to buy when I was 14/15, only vodka I could get my hands on. Smuggled from Poland/Latvia/Lithuania, it literally tastes like soap and floor cleaner.

>>343416876
>Stealth literally does not work in STALKER: SoC
It works just fine.
People are just so used to modern console-shit binary AI, where the enemies are either completely blind and deaf, or nonstop homing towards your position.
"Stealth" in STALKER means getting close enough to your target without letting all hell break loose, taking couple quick headshots with a suppressed gun, and then disappearing from the scene before the victim's mates manage to locate and surround you.
The best example of stealth I've managed to pull off has been sneaking in and out of Aprogrom base, stealing the documents, without killing anyone, and without anyone spotting me.
>>343415998
If you're a rookie, my advise is: don't.
Just run and gun. Or bait everyone into one of those barracks, and pop heads as they enter.
>>343417691
>>343417824
Alright I see your point, good choice then, I guess.
>>343415998
You can do it senpai, stealth isn't that difficult once you understand the basics, do you have the silenced Makarov?
>>343418070
Tbh I like the awful taste vodka has,it makes me forget the taste of sugar.
>>343417830
Stealth mechanics in STALKER are just really, really simplistic. Too simplistic, some would argue. But it mostly works. Mostly.

more like they're too "realistic" for modern gamers, who've used to every other shooter being some sort of Sam Fisher rollercoaster for 12 year olds.
The #1 thing that people just don't seem to understand or even anticipate is that everything you do emits noise, and NPCs can hear noise.

What mods are you using? Because that shit is literally impossible in Vanilla.

Isn't Escape from Tarkov made by some of the same guys?

You're talking to a man who drinks Taaka. That shit is seven dollars a bottle and I drink it by the bottle. Bad vodka is fine by me.
>>343418150
Nah senpai I have the silenced ppm
>>343418985
SoC went through 2 development teams. By the time CS was out they, again, had changed a portion of the staff. As well as after the release of CoP.
Last I've read there is someone from the GSC working on the project, but I'm not sure how involved they were with the STALKER projects.
Haven't been to the Zone in years, but I'm thinking of going back there sometime soon. It's just that I still have some games in my backlog that I absolutely want to finish.
>>343418783
the alarm literally does not ring out of just that.
More reinforcements will get sent once you pick it up, but you can just head to the roof, and take down the ladder on the back side of the building. There's also a hole in the wall right next to the ladders.

>>343415998
>with almost no ammo
Having almost no ammo early on made me save up before hotting the Big Final. Ended up with heaps of NATO ammo I never used LEL.
>>343416498
>since the alarm goes as soon as you're seen or you fire a bullet iirc
It also goes off when you make a noise and it does include spawning after a load.
>>343421201
no. Not in any of the games by default.
And it's usually kinda underwhelming piece anyway. Assault rifles simply rule the Zone, and are the most versatile + cheapest guns to have.
>>343417446
I'm mad because it keeps being posted
>left to right
the install process is convulted and has a more difficulty:result ratio than its worth
>nope
yes. the overhauls do a better and easier job of fixing the game, making finding and installing all the smaller individual mods that do a worse job outdated

graphical glitches in SoC
>>343417594

What? How?
>>343417691
Good vodka shouldn't have taste/odour.
If it's premium and still doesn't go in right for you, dump the bottle into the freezer for the night.
Had alot of fun with SoC and AMK, what mod should I get for CoP?
Also, it's my first time. So anything dramatically different about CoP that I should know?
>>343421316
It can be alright for a low-budget long-range rifle but that's it. Even then you'll dump it the moment you see an SVU or SVD in a fifty-meter proximity anyway.
nothing since no mods worth playing have come out in forever
>>343421587
Vanilla for the first time, nigga.
>>343421505
The country I live in have really strict alcohol laws and it's also really expensive. So expensive in fact, that people go over the baltic sea and buy loads of booze and sell it to people for a little more than what they paid for it. A "turkvodka" as we used to call it could be as cheap as 8 euro, whereas the alchohol stores will sell a bottle of the same amount for at least double, if not triple that price.
>>343421807
I felt like making a wild guess. Where are you from? I assume somewhere from eastern or central Europe?
>>343421937
I'm aSwecuck.
>>343421587
Misery
>>343421627
Not necessarily. I managed to nearly beat Zone of Alienation with a cheap PPsH-41 I found off some bandit scum. Ammunition wasn't cheap, but a 72 round drum magazine fucks anything up. Low quality doesn't always mean bad.
>>343421807
Sweden?
Anyway, Poland and, I guess, Lithuania both have rich vodka consumption and vodka making cultures and it doesn't feel right to even have the piss Stolitchnaya in stores there, since they can make their own shit vodka without the need to pay extra for transport and customs.
>>343421995
Called it!
>>343422080
You got some balls, stalker. Especially considering you played ZoA like that.I always go for the high end weapons as soon as possible.
>>343422096
Yes, Sweden. Yeah, but the ones who are smuggling it back buy it at the "border shops" where anything from a 4 euro bottle of vodka to a 50 euro bottle of vodka is avaliable. Its more profitable for them to buy the cheapest, nastiest shit, since their main customers are kids ages 13-20 (20 is the age you're allowed to go to the alcohol store).
>>343422080
that's a bit different thing though. Full-auto + huge ammo cap makes a world of difference, since the game's kinda designed to be played with full-auto guns.
With mosin, it's like you'd be stuck with a special Sawnoff with much longer range, and more rare ammo.
>>343422441
I also carried around a silenced Makarov Pmm. Also shitty. Still made it work.
>>343422593
The only time I've used shitty and bad conditioned weapons for long was in Misery. The first real weapon I got was a Colt 45, before that I just barely scraped by with the sawed off shotgun and that rifle the sniper starts with. Took me like 5-8 hours slashing fleshes and boars to earn that.
Best hobophase I've ever endured.
What ever happened to CryZone??
>>343423071
same thing that happens to majority of over-ambitious fan projects:
canceled / "frozen".
>>343423071
It got canned and the dev released all of what he had made open to the public, for free use.
Technically speaking, you can just download the project and continue from where the dev left off.
I forget what mod what it was, but I played some CoP overhaul mod where it included T-34 power armored death squads that would try to hunt you down
>>343421627
I've had a mosin boner ever since I got one IRL
RO2 and Stalker are the only things that fill it
>>343422080
You can make even a Makarov or a sawn-off shotgun work if you try hard enough, but there are simply much better options.
Ain't nothing stop me from making a killin' with my Mosin either, it packs a punch even against well-armored milfags. But I chose to go for the SVU later on because it was simply a better use of my ammunition and money.

Nothing because the newest CoC patch won't work for me
I'm getting some conflicting opinions from all these stalkan infographics. What's the clear diffrence between AMK and Zone Reclaimation Project?
>>343426546
The clear difference between them is apples and oranges, dumb friend.
>>343426546
AMK is a mod whereas ZRP is an unofficial patch.
>>343406196
Thats scripted I think.
>>343426896
I don't think so, but even so, stuff like that happens all the time in the zone, unscripted.
>>343396917
Which stalker is the best stalker to get? Or it doesn't matter?
>>343426546
AMK is the mother of all mods.
ZRP is just an unofficial patch.
Yes, you can use AMK on your first playthrough, if you want to.
>>343400429
kek thats cheburashka
>>343426684
I was always more of an apple man, myself.
>>343427254
Aight, thanks anon.
>>343427209
Play SoC first. CS and CoP if you want more, although CS is probably the weakest game.
>>343427209
Clear sky
>>343426896
>>343406196
apart from that moment, SoC has had some of the best unscripted jump scares of anything I've ever played
>>343396917
Last thing I was up to before the monthly binge ended was touring the zone with some monolith bros in CoC's single life mode.
Had it's moments.
>>343425209
Holy shit how did I get that past?
>>343428182
Maybe it's case-sensitive? Tbh tBH tBh tbH TbH
>>343428151
wait, CoC adds multiplayer?
also, unrelated, do any mods add deadzone aiming like Red Orchestra or Arma?
>>343428301
yes Senpai it's case sensitive Desu Baka
>>343428302
No, you can usually talk to anyone allied with your faction and group up though.
>>343428302
No, you just get to play as other factions.
Also no, XRay engine isn't UE4.
>>343428301
>>343428373
>>343428412
you don't need UE4 to add deadzone aiming, and I figured I'd ask since the guy who did OGSE made a lot of engine tweaks
>>343428453
Tbh we've broken the filter.
Also what mods are there for SoC that add loads of guns and make it more atmospheric? I want to feel like I'm drowning in melancholy.
>>343428453
don't worry too much, I manually type out DESU BAKA SENPAI now

Because STALKER difficulty is inversely proportional to your accuracy.
The moment you get beyond the first 5.56s appearing is the moment you
start having a good AR,
get a better armor from quests/stash
have the cash for a +Acc sniper rifles
which let you drop ruskies from every distance in one to few shots
CoC is pretty good for roleplaying. Finding jobs and anomalies all day, clocking out and selling all of your spoils, and hanging out by the fire with fellow cheekis is cozy as fuck. Anyone else do this?
btw factions can eat my wiener, loner all day everyday
tfw I played STALKER years before I even knew what 4chan was
thanks PCGamer
Also, how the fuck do you downgrade the steam version?
>>343399405
>using the complete mod
Every fucking thread there's always some asshat using Complete, follow the guide in the OP in /sg/ and get your shit together, stalker.
>>343406423
Misery is another shit "unfair difficulty = le hard realism" mod, quit acting like you're better than anyone when you're playing misery, fuckface
I've played CS over a year ago w/AMK, it was pretty great but I was blocked with an helicopter thing. I want to replay, but what mods should I install to have more realistic weapons and vehicules please ?
Is COP or CS the better game to play after SoC?
>>343432861
CS
Just slap one of those unofficial patches on it
How does one install stalkersoup? literally got no idea
Monolith did nothing wrong
>>343432861
release order is the best way to do it.
Just seriously apply ALL the patches and fixes you can find. The Starter Pack gets you very far already. Also, do not set SSAO, SunShafts and -Quality higher than "Low", or your fps will bomb.

There are certain levels of bullshit I can tolerate, but this is just too much for me. This was like a week ago, haven't touched the game since then.

Such is life in the zone
get used to it
