>>482635086>>482631895Am I remembering wrong? I totally don't remember him wearing a DUDE CHRISTIAN IMAGERY crown in the movie, was this a promo image or something? To be fair, I'm usually pretty drunk by this point in the film.

good evening /sg/
>>482635374I also don't remember because I fucking fell asleep halfway through it
>>482620661What's with the fucking marvel quips in this picture
ANUUU
where is the second part of the OP post guides?
>>482648427lost tot the zone
does anomaly/gamma just stutter for everyone and everyone ignores it?
>>482620130>because S2 will have full support for a gamepad with auto-aimSoulless
>>482656932there are stutters here and ther when lots of things load in, but typically no.I also don't play witth enhanced meme shaders stuffed with 14k fence, grass textures
>>482620661is it cheating if i play SoC with a mod that makes my bullets actually hit where im aiming
>>482656932most modern pcs from within the past decade will sufficeYou should be playing off an ssd.If you really need to, change texture_lod to 1(lower quality than 0)you can even editd prefeth files manually too
>>482658274Its fine.really if its something you dont like, mod it.You dont get the "full vanilla experience" but imho its the worst part of soc and even cs, but at least cs you could upgrade weapons to be less shit.
>>482658160>>482659120I can't even run across cordon/garbage without stuttering multiple times
>>482659828yeah minor stutters you will notice
>>482656932I remember Anomaly running quite well
>>482658274Yes. Trainers are cheating. But it's a singleplayer game so why the fuck you asking permission from us dawg?
>>482665636trainers dont do what he said.
>>482659828>>482656932I would guess that once NPCs come 'online' aka switch from offline a-life to online it produces a performance hit / stutter.
>>482658274play complete for that, for reals
>>482639864Tarkovsky sucks
I've been enjoying IWP, i feel like they've struck a nice balance, it feels neither super grindy and bloated like analmeme nor super easy like vanilla CoCThe progression is nice, but the quest leave a lot to be desiredThe world feels pretty dynamic so that kinda makes up for it
>>482656932>>482658160>>482659828>>482659120
>>482668712>>482684582is this complete

>>482684970>>482685058>not recognizing DooM 2.5: Adventures in Aztlan
>>482684235idk what they are doing with the zoomsbut binocs zooms are screwy.move scroll wheel up to zoom in like you think it would beit zooms in onceoh shit its broken as fuckscroll down like vanila (which always felt wrong to me) it zooms in with a click, and one extra zoom at the end that doesnt click.presss right mouse button to not use binocspress same thign again to use binocsprevious zoom you were just at is forgottenalso no g_invert_zoom command they need to fix thateverything else, especially the weapons and animations are really well done.also shaky g36 when zoomed in/aimingI turned r__no_ram_textures off som it wouldnt use so much of my GPU memory, though there is plenty for it to use.
>>482684235Never played IWP, but about to try it out. Does it change anything other than the guns? From the mod name it would seem as if it only adds a shitton of guns and that's it.

>>482659443>at least in cs you could upgrade the weapons to be less shitBut they start out way worse and come about roughly to SoC level.In the end I think vanilla stalker weapons are fine because the spread and power difference makes them feel more unique and have their own role.
why yes i do play gamma how could you tell
>>482727986we can tell by the cum dripping from the corner of your moth and the fact you stink
>>482727986you can you know.... try ?
>>482684235>>482716438It only changes weapons, no new quests sadly.
Sooo, i just finished the last cnpp battle in the soc storyline in OP 2.2 and im back in central pripyat. What questline should i chase next?

>>482657501Original trilogy has it now. So sad. I guess you'll have to leave for another fandom.
>>482668325Switch distance is the issue, yes. That's also why the Bar has always had huge performance issues when you're approaching it: all the pausing to switch the npcs online.
>>482773871>Original trilogy has it nowThe original trilogy doesn't have it. Unless GSC ports all the changes from the console ports to the PC versions then we can talk about the original trilogy having controller support.

The zone mutates everything and turns everything dangerous and twisted right? Isn't it a big gaping hole in the lore that there aren't superbacteria, funghi and viruses evolving in the zone?How would it be incorporated in the game, infections working as debuffs or like radiation sickness you need to treat immediately or die?
>>482790656>How would it be incorporated in the gameLike shroom headcrabs
>>482790656They chose to focus on actually interesting things like mutants and anomalies rather than the tedious shit you'd get in cancer like olr 3.0
>>482780061The war has and had a direct impact on the game's development so it's still on-topic you stupid concerntrolling nigger
I play Shadow of Chernobyl and npcs can't shoot at me when I'm partially behind cover and sometimes they shoot at sky. What's happening, how to fix it?
>>482801726"olr 3.0" is certainly a strange spelling of "GAMMA".
>>482803583Gaymma is masturbatory aid for tarkovfags, if it actually went hard on the misery shit it wouldn't be as popular
>>482803583OLR3 is the one that has random retarded diseases. Gaymma's tedium comes from different tarkov-like sources instead.
>>482779139It doesn't look bad, per say, but the guy's body language makes the suit seem far worse than it actually is
Mercanon here.I managed to dye the merc shirt/jacket a dark blue. Will post before & after pictures tomorrow.Still not 100% sure on what headwear to get. I got a face mask & STALKER dogtag from last year and will try incorporating them into the outfit.Any suggestions to make the merc cosplay more authentic?I was thinking of:>nonstop drink (pic related)>cigarettes>pistol holster>combat knifeThe con I'm going to doesn't allow any weapons, sadly, not even fake ones, sadly. Such is life in Nogunzland.
I donwloaded ABR 2.1.8 for call of Pripyat and it crashes before it even opens, here is the log, how do I fix it?

>>482811007it's safe to assume anyone who brings up gaymma is just doing it in bad faith at this point, just let discussion about that shit mod die
>>482810676for 24€ including shipping, I'm happy with the patches.There's more expensive variants but they want to jew me on shipping, so I say fuck that noise.Would have liked to get the "official" versions like pic related but not all S2 patch designs have been revealed yet. I wonder if they'll have more patches at Gamescom, like they did last year.

You don't have to wear it on your face, just hang it around your neck or keep in in a pouch, but you gotta have one.Why does your con allow cigarettes and not toy guns?Amazon has these hooded t-shirts you can wear under stuff without overheating, they don't look too bad.
>>482812023cool opinion
>>482811568is it though?you think some anons calling gamma cancer in /sg/ is keeping it alive somehow?

And I don't wanna waste money on a one-time gas mask from ebay. If your gasmask and patch are the only thing that reminds you of stalker, you fucked up. See pic related. I would get a balaclava or face mask/cover.>>482815291>strongly agree, quite iconic for the seriesI'll post them ITT if I can get hold of any. Merc'ing is a tough job, gotta relieve stress somehow. I don't smoke myself but I do think it would add to the character of mercs being lowlifes like >>482815707 mentioned. In the games, they're not supposed to be the good guys.

Any mod that recreates buildo stalker apart from OLR? I tried Lost World Origins and i can handle bad translations, but i gave up in agroprom when the burer started to walk vertically on the wall and killing me. The idea is very interesting and the many maps (some from previous soc builds) are good, how the fuck did they do working CoP detectors for anomalies in a shadow of chernobyl mod.I'm currently downloading Oblivion Lost 3.1 (not OLR) which seems to be SoC with oblivion lost ideas and stuff.I will wait until OLR 3.0 is improved but i would like to ask if anyone knows some good OL build mods for SoC that add more maps artefacts and so on.
>>482817126Those really aren't that great costumes, they look like Call of Duty enemies.Also, is that dude a fucking dwarf?>I don't wanna waste money on a one-time gas mask from ebayNigger you spent like 30 bucks on patches, you can't spend 15 bucks on an old Soviet mask?

>>482825039Yes I installed the requirements but I don't know where to put them. Do I just dump them in my Stalker call of Pripyat folder?Also the user.ltx file keeps re-appearing every time I launch the game than it doesn't open.

>>482826916>Yes I installed the requirements but I don't know where to put them.not sure what that means>Do I just dump them in my Stalker call of Pripyat folder?no, you instal them then restart your pc.>Also the user.ltx file keeps re-appearing every time I launch the game than it doesn't open.its supposed to, the engine re-creates it.does the ne log say anything different?I would just suggest clearing our everything then reinstalling and trying again.also turning off steams overlay and auto-updatingthere is even INSTALLATION.mp4 that comes with the mod, its also a basic guide. so watch that if you need to.
>>482828506We have this thing called building standards and insulation, therefore our houses don't heat up the very moment sun starts shining too hard, so there's no need to mount AC in every residential building, a fan will suffice.

>>482829761Bro I live in the South in the Appalachians, it swings from 100 with 100% humidity in the summer to like 8 in the winter. I lived in a restored cabin that didn't have AC and had an old wooden fireplace for heat in the winter. God I miss that place.
>>482829874cool shit manI've only ran into that bug onece before and the cure was to delete user .ltxgood hunting stalker
>>482820778Several addictions including smoking run in my family but I can still socially smoke outside of a bar without having a single craving for one in my day to day life. The "as addictive as heroin" phrase is bullshit and you're just projecting your own lack of self control on others.
>>482829761>you will freeze in winterRural vatniggers have the benefit of having wood stoves and a shitton of trees, it's much easier to combat extreme cold than extreme heat. Amerimutts however are fucked without AC, and without electricity needed to run it, and they live in some of the shittiest, hottest and humid climates known to man. Ultimately Aussies win by being Aussies.
So what is the consensus on the complete mod series. I ALREADY BEAT THE GAMES WITH THE PATCHES. I wanted to marathon the games before 2, but then I remember I hated Clear Sky and want literally anything that isn't ABR. Is it good if I just wanna replay the game with extra stuff?
>>482832953I don't think anyone uses the complete mods.they haven't been updated since? 2009? 2013?my last memory of messing with cs mods was with stalker complete for clear sky, it crasheda bunch.but I was a noob who didnt know any better.https://web.archive.org/web/20230802105645/https://pastebin.com/6AtetpMM
>>482830590This, maybe once every couple of weeks as a treat I'll smoke a couple of filterless Luckies, and I'm not picking scabs and biting my fingers in between smokesSmoking is badass and makes you look cool, and as long as you're not smoking a pack a day like a retard there's really nothing wrong with it
>>482833731people hate on this mod way too fucking much.visually it was ahead of it's time and with cheap methods too like the awesome shaded looking grass sprites.everyone who played it enjoyed it. thats what matters
>>482837991picrel

>>482837991>like the awesome shaded looking grass sprites.
>>482837991do they though?
>>482807178>con doesn't allow gunz even fake onesWell that's a shitty con then. Should've then instead gone as a loner/scavenger type with a metal detector.I hope they even have hot chick cosplays there then. Fuck.>>482829910No one in their right mind develops a game that only maybe 1 percent of people can actually play. Studios have had enough of angry pc lamers who demand the game looks great but also runs constant 120fps on the shitbox assembled in 2012. That said I fucking hate hate HATE the semi-modern trend of making things look like the textures and models only halfway loaded in. Look at something like Payday 3 or the new Alone in the Dark. It's like intentional shittification of games that looked better on ps3/360 gen in the hands of competent devs.
>>482860276Honestly part of the problem is lack of optimization. Developers now take advantage of people have SSD's and a shitload of RAM and other hardware to just brute force their unoptimized shit. UE5 is almost unplayable on anything but modern hardware because it has so much baked in effects that people can't disable, and then when you do it all looks like playdough and somehow looks worse than games on UE2 and 3. Devs don't give a fuck about making games that run well nowadays, a game is completely uncompressed and takes up hundreds of gigs on a hard drive just because it can. If you complain about that you're hit with people calling you poor, but it's the principle of the fucking thing. The bloat and poor performance is absurd nowadays. My hardware is>Nvidia 3080>32 GB RAM>3 different hard drives, one 4 TB HDD, 8 TB HDD, and 2 TB SSD for multiplayer games and new shit that can't live on old hard drives>intel i7-10700KF 3.8 16 CPU bullshitSome games flat out run like ass on my hardware, and you can't tell me it's that my PC is too weak. I don't care about maxing shit out, but if something can't even run at 60FPS on my 1440 monitor it's a fucking load of bullshit.
Is the steel helmet worn by clear sky based on any real helmets? I was looking at Soviet Era steel helmets and I was thinking it looks nothing like them. It looks more like an American helicopter pilot helmet than an "outdated steel helmet" as described ingame.
about to install thisWhat am i in for?
>>482863674You might get a better look at the helmet from the CoP steel helmet icon because it only has the helmet. It honestly might be a pilot helmet or something. They might be scraping specifically non-soviet stuff to have earpro etc fit better because soviets gave a fuck all about ergonomics.
>>482862596its funny (but not funny really) when you get a nice rig you start noticing this shit even more.>game runs like shit guys wtf>your pc must be poo>has 4K beast pcyeah bro totally
>>482868146It's an incompetency crisis. Modern developers are either too lazy or unskilled to optimize their engines, and then the games are built with toothpicks and bubble gum, like Starfield. The only competent developers seem to be id Software because Doom 2016 and Eternal both look great and run smooth like fucking butter.
>>482822549Vector of Alienation maybe? It's based on OLR 2.5 but with a better story. There's also Back to the Stalker, which is an alternate story of Strelok inspired by SoC's story and builds/desdocs. Unfortunately it is getting delayed as one of the devs is getting conscripted.

>>482870820The only thing Eternal really did right was the gameplay and that was tight and fast as fuck. 2016 did most everything better. The story in Eternal was batshit crazy, too.

>>482870474why are stalker mod creators fucking weirdos? I mean there is grok who is a fucking retard but OP 2.2 is made by russian construction workers, one dev from ray of hope died from a bear attack and BTTS dev is gonna die in the battle field.
>>482873040Looks like normal people to me, with the russian tax added. Now compare then to american mod creators.

PC update when
Agroprom underground, Spiral staircase room
>>482878910Most of SoC underground locations were spoiled to me since I arrived late to Stalkach. But the first time I entered X8 I took the documents and bolted without looking back.Really hope 2 will have some pants-shitting underground areas.
>>482879253New or reimagined underground areas are the only reason im looking forward to S2
>>482873350How come Russian mod creators have varied backgrounds like "construction worker" and "soldier" and "Grizzly Man" but American mod creators are all, to a man, just "fat unemployed tranny"
>>482828991hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahaha no AC moment
>>482886181being a neet in russia is more unforgiving maybe?
>>482889697Or just that living in Russia is more unforgiving in general if you don't live in Moscow or SPB. No tugboats to live off of, no easy, stable income that allows you to indulge in degeneracy, and so on and so forth.
>>482890261For a few months I lived in Kazan i think the place was called. It's on the Volga. Was OK, nothing spectacular, but I kinda get what you mean.
>>482890261Plus being a fag is illegalI don't know if that's something they usually enforce or not, but they'd definitely do something if Chris Chan was wandering around in thigh highs in public
>>482890261that goes without saying. my post was semi-sarcastic
>>482871296The trend of people getting used to shitty performance from playing early access games is what contributed to this mess. PUBG still runs like shit to this day. Janky ass games.
>>482807178Pls post all the cosplay stuff you've gathered so far
>>482867865What throws me through a loop is that it's called a steel helmet, Neither Russian or American flight helmets are made of steel.
>>482863674>It looks more like an American helicopter pilot helmetBecause that's what it's based on, apparently. Picrel is SPH-4 and it looks very similar, especially if you would add a visor. The in-game description is just some made up flavor text.
>>482911012The ''visor'' is likely a set of ballistics glasses that would not be attached to the helmet but because of game reasons it is.That's one of the things I really would like ctankep 2 to do, have a more modular equipment system and also so NPC/enemies could also dynamically switch them out etc.

>>482779139why on earth do you larp as a videogame character instead of buying a real jacket and go camping, especially when talking about something like stalker, if you don't live in a city you have it super easy and either on europe or america there are beautiful landscapes where you can go with a tent, a camping gas and a sleeping bag and do stealth camping in abandoned sites.Why won't you do that instead of pretending to be a soldier and telling your mom to take a picture of you so you can post it here?

>>482921352I dunno. Ask the landwhale larping as a hecking lonerino
Stalker CoP is the worst game on the trilogy.The story is stupid narratively and metanarratively. Narratively because it is lineal as fuck, playing as a millitary who returns to the zone as a disguised stalker only to complete an already established mission, no real obstacles apart from reuniting a team for the incursion to pripyat gives you incentive to search the map for any reason (take for example SoC where you needed either to pay 500 to the millitary to tresspass the bridge, or find another way through the electric tunnel or the open fence at the east, or in CS where the renegades blocked your way out of the swamps) .The final plot twist of why the helicopters crash is super anticlimactic, and it sucks metanarratively, we the player already knew that the anomalies changed durig emissions, and the stalkers inside the zone also knew it! Then why the fuck do we have to investigate something that we already knew? both the player and stalker? Do the millitary don't have information that a newbie stalker has? Also the fact that there are no random anomalies scattered around the zone, instead we have already marked anomaly zones with artefacts, transforming the game into open world slop where you run around with a gun and do minigames for artefacts to sell instead of being in a harsh zone where everything is deadly and you develop spatial recognition for where anomalies that you already found before are, going around throwing bolts to survive and find artefacts by yourself instead of having it already on your PDA.If stalker 2 tries to be more like CoP instead of doing an impredictable, dangerous, deadly zone where you need to develop real skills to survive then it will be the last hit to the franchise, burying it around misery niggers and survivalslop fans.
>>482923807
>>482923807Whores pose as videogame characters because they want cock, faggots pose as videogame characters because they want pussy. At least the cute japanese girls are very tight and fuckable. But they are still whores who want cock.Stalker cosplayers are retards that instead of going out and do things like tresspassing illegal zones or even just going to abandoned buildings to larp they just dress up as le cool soldier and think they look cool on the internet, but they are fat and retarded.

Gunslinger is a complete piece of shit, why is it so difficult to make a mod that simply lets me replay a better looking version of CoP with better gameplay? Why do modders feel the need to shove in their unnecesary balancing changes for no reason at all? I want my fucking minimap, it's a chore to find corpses without it, i don't want to have artifacts giving me radiation if they are not equiped, it makes early quests like retrieving the ship's wheel artifact a pain for no reason, i don't want item animations to completely slow combat to a crawl for no valid reason other than muh realismI always baffles me how people with so much technical knowledge and love for the game completely miss the point on what makes stalker fun, if you want to play tarkov then just go play tarkov man
>>482921352What if you dress up like a retard and then go camping in your retard costume, is that all right?
>>482926595tldrI liked it; it crashes the least of the three and it has comfy open world
>>482926595Story may suck but it has the best sidequests of the seriesI'm mostly mad Pripyat is such an unused map, it should have more interiors and content
>>482659443That's not an improvement. CS and COP both make all weapons shittier by default than anything in SOC so the upgrades don't break balance by turning them into every single "realism" weapon mod ever.

>>482822549Shadows Addon is decent besides some bumps in the late game. Grand Rendering Mod is similar but has a lot more cut content and AI behavior. Unfortunately GRM has more bugs from my experience with the mod. Both are worth a try but I wouldn't play them back to back since it's identical to vanilla SOC's campaign like Oblivion Lost 3.1
>>482932923yeah i actually tried it yesterday so i could replay cop and the master difficulty turns off your fucking hud. There is no option to change this. If i ever encounter a gunslinger dev i will rip his throat off.

>>482934073i hate that they don't encourage the player to do the sidequests as i already spoiled myself of some of them even though i finished the game. They should have make it so it is more difficult to find the helicopters and to tresspass certain areas or find mcguffins you need to complete missions or maybe passages open when you have good reputation with some people or faction. I just hope Stalekr 2 gives more freedom to the A-Life and makes you do your own paths with different people instead of doing regular far cry like missions.
>>482934776cool story. you're wrong too.also we werent talking about that.
Remember when /sg/ hyped olr 3.0 for years before it has been released? And now, it is ashamed worse than anomeme/gaymma? Such a shame. I think Goldsphere was the last good mod released and now S2 will kill classic stalker moding community. /sg/ will slowly die. S1 was made for pure slavic enjoyment, modding community was full of enthusiac factory workers with above average iq that knew how to use notepad++ properly. S2 will bring cancer microtransation and possibly cancerous microtransation modding community. Do you think young russian zoomers will mod for free? I dont think so. Unfortunately, this applies for other game series also. Good games are already released, new ones will be only done for business. Just play SoC.
>>482936552oh wow, /k/ challenges no cosplayer ever has done, and i bet you neither.Do bushcraft and camping, nigger.
>>482937965>defending chineese spywarei played a lot of pubg and it has improved a lot over the years but it's still a fucking piece of shit of a game.
>>482938149>Remember when /sg/ hyped olr 3.0 for years before it has been released?I remember when we thought it would come out on the supposed anniversary. What the fuck were they thinking making a Misery-lite?
>>482938149I don't think STALKER 2 will even have a modding community. It'll be Unrealslop, GSC won't ever make that modding SDK real because they're on life support just to finish and release the game. X-Ray modding was a thing because of the buildo leaks, engine code leaks, Griga allowing for the use of those leaks, and everything being moddable with Notepad.
>>482936529That's cool and all, but it's called hyperbole. His computer is unimpressive, 3080 standard (not even Ti) is really lacking in VRAM, no mention of RAM speed, no mention of the type of each drive (brand and model number, there are SSDs with no DRAM cache that have really shitty performance), and there are probably various issues he's not presenting, like using some retarded meme OS variation with shady "debloat" scripts.

>>482938149>ashamedof what? I played it a little bit and it's ok i think.I mean stalker 2 will impact modding and community but at least the slavjank mods we have already will still exist. Just ignore social media and delete your discord account and everything will be alright. I don't think gsc will turn into bethesda with microtransaction mods. It's just another stalker game so don't worry, i will learn how to translate mods and bring to english community the hidden gems of AP-PRO that you will enjoy like variant omega, NS 2009, time of change or more jekan slop. You will have to be the change you want to see in the world, if you want to see stalker community prevail then be the one making the mods or translating them or debugging. We will be less people doing it for sure but the game is very nische and we don't need to be a lot to make quality mods.Goldsphere is still my favorite mod despite not finishing it because saves get corrupted but i will try again in some time at least before S2 release.

>>482938867Stop blaming poor performance on people's hardware. An optimized game wouldn't require 24GB of VRAM to play in 1080p at medium settings because it would load optimized textures where that 10GB 3080 would suffice. It wouldn't require a PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD to load the assets because the game would smartly load them in a way where a SATA3 SSD would be more than enough for a good experience. It wouldn't require Ryzen 9 7950X3D because the code would be well written and optimized so that the i7-10700KF would be more than enough juice to run it.Because that's the meaning of optimization, the game can perform acceptably on lower end hardware and take full advantage of higher end hardware. But because modern day gamedev is a joke, Cities Skylines 2 ran at 66FPS at 1080p with an RTX 4090 at medium settings. You don't get to use the "just upgrade bro" excuse when the top of the line GPU on the market can barely hit stable 60FPS in fucking 1080p.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4DX6mUY78s

>>482941067>Stop blaming poor performance on people's hardware.Not the anon you've replied to but this is exactly what we should be doing. Games were far better optimized when the biggest audience was made of console faggots with PS360-tier hardware since said hardware forced devs to actually think about making their shit run at least semi-decently. The Xbone/Ps4 era was mostly the same. For half a console gen devs have had access to powerful hardware (8-core CPUs, lots of VRAM, SSDs), and games have become less and less optimized because gaymers are retarded enough to keep buying AAA garbage that runs at a cinematic 24fps at PS3-tier resolutions + upscaling for "free frames". Stalker 2 will likely be the same.
>>482940708Negativefags that have low expectations for the game and when it turns to be OK they have some time of jetlag and they will need to relearn to have fun. (TitanFall)Optimistfags will hype themselves with fake expectations that you make unconsciously in your brain and when the game turns out to be bad they have to cope and slowly realise that the game is actually shit. (Fallout post bethesda)I always try to look it in perspective of that it's only just a videogame, if it turns out to be great it will be a fun experience and if it's bad i mean i will not die and i haven't payed for a game in 10 years so it will not impact my life.Just brace for the impact. Stalker 2 in my opinion has 50% change of turn out excellent or terrible.

>>482941769>single unreal game that has a thriving modding communitythe ones that do are pozzed to shitUE4 can be modified but only of the developers facilitate it.

Be more realist, we don't know anything about the development of stalker 2 and for all what we know from the commentaries of the developers it has the same chances of become a trully fresh new game for the stalker series with new ideas and a good A-Life to make the game trully shine as it has to flop and become just another meh sequel bought by microsoft made for consoles and will just be more slop that is just fun but does not feel like that time you played shadow of chernobyl for the first time. The sense of exploration, of danger, the characters, the sidequests, the artefacts, all that made SoC a trully immortal game could probably not be reflected on the new game, i fear the game might become another shooter, CoP with steroids and nothing else.I hope for the best as i will still pirate the game anyways

>copeYeah idk why I even bothered effort posting, this faggot is here just to try and degrade the thread into a /v/tier shitfest.>>482941769It's pretty simple. Unreal is designed to push out a game to the market in a hermetic package. Any modding capabilities have to be supplied by the developers for them to catch on. In case of X-Ray, modding is trivial, the engine is basically blown out wide open, and all the tools needed for it are widely available. Same with Bethesda's Creation Engine, it's why they still hold onto it despite it being a mess, because modders are a big part of their success. Unreal games are bound to fail on the modding part by the very nature of Unreal.

I'm playing Goldsphere for the first time and I can deal with most of the jank, but for some reason I can't equip the detector. I have the one you get on the main quest and then the one I found in the garage near the controller, but pressing the assigned button equips neither of them. If I move the one I got from the quest into my bag and the re-equip it I take it out so I can deal with that, but there's no way to take out the one I found.

Here's a question, would there be a point to flashlights on guns if you always have a head mounted flashlight?would there be a point to lasers if you have a crosshair?
>>482927523>>482936552>>482938583Stalker / Metro cosplayers actually have / had a terrible reputation in Puccr because they would often go to the still-preserved old ww2 and cold war era bomb shelters connected to the Moscow metro [and presumably other cities] and shit them up to look more ''post apocalyptic'' so they and their idiot friends could take photographs. Absolutely appalling. It was a while back when I read it, back when Facepunch Studios forums was still up.

>>482942079Man you're so fucking wrong. The ps3 / 360 game ports were the worst optimized shit. GTAIV was the source of endless complaint for this. If they got a pc port at all.The ps4 / xbone are different because their internal architecture / programming resembles more that of pc and one another.
>>482991934>PuccrDid you just had a stroke? What is that.
>>482995297I can only assume it's some retarded way to say "Russia".
>>482817287We are friends.
>>482994160>The ps3 / 360 game ports were the worst optimized shit.exactly, which made devs put more effort into Xbone/PS4 games ported to PC.
>>482995297I was trying to write russia in russian but I don't have the backwards r.
>>482945426>we will get plenty of the usual weapons, hud, graphics stuffwe won't because S2 is supposed to have multiplayer as well. TO my knowledge, there is no UE5 MP game that also allows mods. Newest UE4 game that allows them is DRG.
>>483003434I think I just misread what you wrote when I was a waking up sleepyhead. It's funny though, Clear Sky was originally targeting xbox 360.
>>483003464Well you completely fucked up then, it's "Poccия" and whatever it is that you wrote makes zero sense, it's a schizophrenic mix of Latin and Cyrillic letters. If you really want to and you don't know how to set up an alternative keyboard layout on your PC/smartphone, just write "Rossiya", or even "Russia" like a normal person.

>>483025706>but GSC saidGSC said a lot of things, doesn't mean they'll keep their word.
>>482995297it's a meme made up by retards at whatever the current iteration of krautchan is called
>>483025706>but GSC saidJudging by your blind belief in GSC, we should've gotten STALKER 2 by late 2021.
>>483037593well uhh you know, it's almost as if something happened 2 years ago that still continues to this day.
>>483042725>b-but muh warGSC announced STALKER 2 would come out in 2021. In 2021 they've placed it in a caricatural AAA nickel-and-dime preorder with the game being vaporware, then grifted on NFT's because that was happening. Not to mention all the unfulfilled promises from the 2000-2014 era. But sure, we should all blindly trust every thing that GSC says because of the war. Kill yourself faggot.
>>483043563>but sure, LE STRAWMANI just recalled them saying that, nothing more. Kill yourself you braindead worthless OLD faggot. Your knees hurt and your life is worthless, what do you care about some vaporware game?

Merc cosplayanon again. Here's the shirt+patches. It was originally dark grey with a weird camo pattern but I dyed it navy blue. What's the best way to wear said patches, right or left?Still looking for sugestions for a balaclava, light military boots and combat pants.
>>483044082Yes, exactly. What do you care? You are OLD. Worry about rizzing up some grannies or not dying or something
Now that dust settled, what the verdict on True STALKER?

>>483048273Levels were amazingGunplay was just memeslingerUI was soulless modern goyslopStory was fine. Too many cutscenes tho
>>483048273Starts off pretty strong. Has some nice new areas and structures, but the story gets real fucking annoying when you get knocked out in a cutscene every 10 minutes.
>>483044438>Still looking for sugestions for a balaclava, light military boots and combat pants.You've been told what to buy, anon, you just won't listen because you want the answer to be "cheap sneakers"Also that shirt is wack, that's a fucking skateboarding hoodie or something

>>483050795>it's just a regular military LARPing shirtThere's no way in hell that shit is military.
>>483051254it's not. Just airsoft/LARP gear like pic related. got it for extremely cheap so I can't really complain.
>>483048273I stopped playing sometime after pic related. The Old Guard quest is one of the worst quests I have ever played in a video game. Genuinely baffling how it made it into the mod. I'm honestly curious how the devs justified this quest.True Stalker has great atmosphere, though.
In Goldsphere with the flying red fireball anomaly thing near where Bum is, is there a trick to getting past it or is it something you get later in the story that lets you bypass those anomalies?
>>483052070>I stopped playing sometime after pic relatedWanted to stop as well but just wanted the story over and done with, and man did the ending fucking suck!Probably spent a good 20+ hours on a game where maybe only 5 or so hours were truely enjoyable and felt like STALKER. The rest were garbage side or fetch quests.I feel like the developers didn't playtest their shit nearly enough, and were not willing to cut any content whatsoever.
>>483051702I seem to recall that people in this general said "don't buy that shirt, it sucks and doesn't look like a mercenary"I'm seriously asking: are you a teenager?
>>483053285>I seem to recallI only got one reply and the guy suggested I buy some janny-looking overalls (pic related). Judging by your insistence, it was probably you who suggested it.

howdy, I'm running stalker ABR CoP however there's constant out of memory crashes, in order to remedy this I downloaded the 64bit CoP mod, https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/stalker-call-of-pripyat-64-bit-engine-176however when I open the game it crashes when I load a save or start a new game, here's the crashlog, how do I fix it?
>>483056193oh wow I must have missed those repliesgood on him but the coveralls don't look that great. what he had on is simply not the look I'm going for (pic related)again, big props to the guy for sticking through.

>>483058882those guys are wearing coveralls, but the look can be repicated by a pants + shirt combo. not a big fan of gas masks, and would rather go for a balaclava or face covering like pic related>You're being really stubborn and obtusesorry for coming off that way.

>>483078793the difficulty will be to have perfectly matching colors unless you are willing to go to a military surplus to handpick the shirt and pants.old school combat fatigues for cop units may provide you with blue.

here's the 2nd t-shirt design. the materiel they're made from is a bit thick for summer but the print goes hard
>>483124884>vanilla Shadow of ChernonyI wish I could enjoy vanilla like I did 10 years ago, but I simply can't. Gunplay sucks fucking balls.CoP aged much better.Also why are there no good gunplay mods for clear sky?
>>483124884>>483151280As someone who is on their first ever SoC playthrough, vanilla early game is absolute dogshit.The late game gunplay is solid, but trying to fight with just a Makarov and double barrel or mp5 is fucking torture. Bullets will literally exit the gun at a 90 degree angle, and unless you can get a headshot (you can't) enemies are bullet sponges no matter what.
>>483151280cuz you're blind
>>483100835really, dont these fucking people test their shit? Take an hour and do a basic check
https://youtu.be/1BKHq7v7bWI
>>483151280>Also why are there no good gunplay mods for clear sky?Nigga wut?SRP itself makes the guns as accurate as SoC/CoP ones, which is not stellar, but it's still an improvement. You also have STCS which adds more guns, and they're fitting it with the rest.
>>483162670i only recently found out that this art was created for stalker 2. it's almost as soulful as the original soc promo arts, which gives me hope.
>>483163939>STCS which adds more guns, and they're fitting it with the rest.>SRPtanks a lot, I will give these mods a try next playthrough. Though I do wish CS had a ready-to-go gunslinger mod. It not having the F2000 and G36 is a crime against STALKER, imho.
Are there any good freeplay warfare mods that aren't anomeme or gaymma? It seems to me like these are the only mods with this function, except that I dislike them quite a lot. I just want to play as a faction soldier and lead my squad to capture territories on the Zone while other squads capture territories and fight on their own too.
>>483166018>CumslingerUnfinished mod with unnecessary meme features and an arsenal more limited than the base game it's supposed to enhanceAs for CS check this out, it comes with SRP and some nice optional addons:https://www.moddb.com/downloads/stcs-263-reduxCompatible with Atmosfear and Absolute Nature, although running both of these together probably won't affect performance nicely. I've got an RX580 and 16Gb of RAM and it often drops into the 50s and less often into the 40s
>>483167702Check out IWP for CoCk, it came out a week or so ago, a few days ago it got both DoctorX questlines and Warfare addons. I'd give you links if I had them, so the search is on you.
>>483168927You mean I can install the addons separately and they'd be compatible, or are they already included in IWP? Since funnily enough I just installed IWP a few days ago, and there's no warfare mode there whatsoever. Not in JSGME either.
>>483168614>Unfinished mod with unnecessary meme featureswhich are?>and an unfinished arsenalAgreed. The fuck were the developers thinking, adding in 20 different meme pistols with different ammo but only 4 ARs?the weapons that are there, are extremely well-animated. So much so that it doesn't feel like a free mod.>mod linkthanks, but am still apprehensive to replay clear sky. I still remember it being a shit game IMHO, even 10 years since I last played it.
Turns out, ghosts bleed. Who knew?
>>483170003The addons came out separately some time after the mod, so you have to install them yourself. They're mutually incompatible, and do use the JGSME for them. >>483170128>which are?Different inertia on different guns, stupidly overpowered burers, controllers that lock you into a 15 second animation, out of place tacticool reloads, overly long item animations, etc. >thanks, but am still apprehensive to replay clear sky. I still remember it being a shit game IMHO, even 10 years since I last played it.These mods do allevate some of the issues, bullets going 90 degrees from the direction of your barrel is gone, and so are grenade spam and jacket wearing bandits taking 20 5.45 rounds to the chest. Pretty sure friendly squads also capture territory quicker, but I'd still not get too deep into faction warfare. The ending is still an endless gauntlet of enemies, so if you're willing to put up with that shit know the game is otherwise great.
>>483171401>Different inertia on different guns, stupidly overpowered burers, controller animationsthis shit is infuriating>tacticool reloadsnone that I have seen. they all look pretty by-the-book to me>overly long item animationswoudn't be an issue if the AI had to do them as well, but the game is not built around you needing 10 seconds to use a bandage>mod commentsyeah, I've installed it and am gonna play a few hours in the swamps to see if I get in the groove of it, so to say. Though IIRC swamps fucking sucked. If you can provide a cordon or garbage save, I would be extremely grateful. can't see how good the gunplay is unless I actually get to use the rebalanced weapons, of which the swamp does not have a lot of.Who knows, maybe replaying Clear Sky will get me into a more positive mood about Stalker 2. Replaying ShoC and CoP Gunslinger really got me back into the series that I played more than a decade ago.
>>483174256I would if I still had the game installed, but I finished it and since I'm short on SSD space I deleted it. Sorry.
>>483175268no biggie. Is there a way to have two primary weapons equipped?
>>483175824Sadly no, although some pistols (mostly .45 and some HATO ones) have a real kick. I found the UMP 45 to be a great primary weapon I used for most of the game. However it sucks against zombified so switch to a 5.45/5.56 when in Yantar.
>>483178013>Sadly nothat sucks.>armory overhaul>can only use one primary and a pistolthe modmaker's a retardalso why is performance so dogshit? I got a 12th gen Intel with a 3080 and I'm still seeing drops into the 50s in Cordon.
literally me (except I'm not a dutyer lmao)
>>483182974
>>483178013I've been replaying Clear Sky for the past hour or so and I'm not impressed with the new weapons arsenal. Sure, the rebalanced gunplay is nice and the new weapons handle OK but I feel like I'm playing a Souce mod from 2012. The guns don't have that "stalker" feel to them. They're just a mishmash of different guns of different eras with differing model and animation quality. You can shit on gunslinger all you want but the weapons and animations are consistent throughout.

>>483184612The jank is a core part of it, overpolished mods lose the charm the inherent Stalker jankiness brings. You have to strike the right balance of vasyan and polished sterility.
>>483182108Are you using Atmosfear and AN? If so you may have set the options to high (or the damn things sat on high by default), and those a quantum supercomputer couldn't run on stable 60. Uninstalling the mods is safe and their readmes should have guides on how to do so (it's pretty simple). You can reinstall them and try setting the range and texture quality to medium/normal.
>>483189753>this might be the skyrim of a new pc gaming era
>>483191676>Atmosfear and ANno, just the mod that was linked. the visuals look like vanilla clear sky.>>483191085>The jank is a core part of itto you, maybe. consistency in art design is a big reason for why stalker's atmosphere still hods up. Mods that add shit in without a second thought can only detract from said atmosphere. Even true stalker (as bad as that mod was) had a certain look and atmosphere it managed to provide. Mishmashed jank is shit, IMHO.
Does anybody use Luna addon for gun disassembly https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/lunas-master-disassembly-list-parts-fix/page/2#comments along with BaS and Trader Overhaul? All of them do load up together but Trader Overhaul somehow negates the Luna's feature to disassemble the BaS gun. My load order is BaS->TO->Luna, and MO2 doesn't highlight any direct overwrites between Luna and TO.
>>483152905>but trying to fight with just a Makarov and double barrel or mp5 is fucking torture. Bullets will literally exit the gun at a 90 degree angle, and unless you can get a headshot (you can'tSkill issue.
>>483192998I agree that too much jank will derail the whole thing, as I said in the original message. But the atmosphere you talk of is (in part) so acclaimed thanks to the jank present in the games. Stalkers spinning in circles and ragdolls spasming out contrasting with the foreign and oppresive environment helped create a very memorable experience for those playing. You can even claim the vanilla guns are a complete mishmash when it comes to quality as well. You have some pretty good guns, for example the double barreled shotguns feel and sound powerful when firing, but then again the Chaser's barrel is not aligned with the crosshair. You also have some pretty good assault rifles, but then there are the pistols which all use the same sounds and animations and are held in a pretty uncomfortable way, with Strelok cradling the bottom of them for some reason. Pay attention to some of the things I mentioned: https://youtu.be/nAlr8ZUrIgUThere's some noticeable difference in the quality across the guns in the mod, but I don't consider it a big deal. As for the performance try lowering vision distance and object detail to half, those affect it the most, and you won't see any real difference in the visuals.
>>483195460>Analmeme mod to make you comb through the bloated shitfest of an inventory even more Get out of here, nigga
>>483196671Is the guy in your pic supposed to be Wolf or Strelok from the old builds?
>>483196671Yeah, right, although the only thing I need from this blob is the ability to disassemble the BaS guns.>>483197067There is SoC logo in the bottom left corner.
>>483152905Why would you use weapons that are clearly earlygame weapins at lategame areas? No offense man but that's like taking a square peg and ignoring both the square and round holes and pushing the peg up your ass.Get yourself a nice G36 or a VAL. One of the reasons I like Shadow of Chernobyl so much is that there's a feel of buildup especially to the endgame and you 100 percent should prepare accordionly. Thing is though, man, ShoC should really have a way to increase inventory capacity either through artifacts or suit upgrades and allow exosuit to sprint even if slowly. Prepping for the CNPP push is fuck hard even if you come back from the Radar back to the BAP for a restock.>>483167702The Faction War for Clear Sky.
>>483197067That is Messer - Strelok before he was Strelok. I do think his model is reused for the "Kill Strelok" quest and the SoC player model, but that is because GSC had publishers breathing down their necks after THQ rightfully lost their patience.
>>483196034i am also using a pistol in my R3 playthrough currently. its all you need, really, until heavily armed opponents

>>483203164Having a substantial shootout section in the finale is fine but Clear Sky is pure misery even if you come well prepared because you can't go back and the sheer massive amount of dudes is going to drain all your ammo and healing. The helicopter fight was cool af though.
>>483197756It's close but the Kill Strelok portrait version seems to have a thicker hairline, small slanty eyes, thinner face, and looks clean shaven (might be the quality though). And his in-game portrait also looks completely different from these 2 and his appearance in the cutscenes & CoP. That also begs the question - how did he not just immediately recognize himself as the guy in the photo from a mirror or a reflective surface? I guess the most reasonable answer is that the Monolith brainwashing fucked with his ability to recognize faces considering his lack of reaction to Fang and Guide.
>>483207679>That also begs the question - how did he not just immediately recognize himself as the guy in the photo from a mirror or a reflective surface? I guess the most reasonable answer is that the Monolith brainwashing fucked with his ability to recognize faces considering his lack of reaction to Fang and Guide.The guy in the center is actually Ghost, Fang is to the left and that probably means the figure on the right is Strelok. Picrel is Ghost's body in X16
>>483197221>There is SoC logothere is SoC logo on all promo renders>>483197756Messer looks much better than Strelok IMHO. They should've reused his appearance and make him a villain or something. Strelok geting the mission to kill Messer, only to find out he's been chasing a pre-brainwashing version of himself would have been kino.
>>483203714>figuring out how not to fuck up the ending this timeThe ending has been known to us since at least the March/May 2023 leaks, and it's kinda meh.>>483208962>Ghost's body in X16*lip smack* he was a good man. What a rotten way to die.
>>483208994Honestly, Strelok looks like an ordinary guy while Messer has the appearance of a proper video game character. Having you play as Strelok made SoC feel more special, he's got the most characterization out of all the Stalker protagonists, and his appearance contributed to this. You feel as confused as him, simply thrown into this harsh, confusing world with all your memories gone. And yeah, I'd love to see Messer return, even as just a reference.
>>483210557>Strelok looks like an ordinary guy while Messer has the appearance of a proper video game character.Messer has the soul and atmosphere of the old builds in him, of course he had to be cut.
>>483208994>>483210557>>483214717>Strelok vs MesserIn an alternate timeline where we got Messer instead this exact conversation would happen with the names flipped around. The one we didn't get is always more alluring because of some psychological shit I guess. Maybe we fill in the blanks with our own interpretation and because it is now part of our imagination's creation we like it even more. You see this shit in all games that have cut content. Sometimes cut content is really cool and the worthwhile cut content does get repurposed which is great sometimes it might not.Oh yeah and mirroring Half Life 1 and the expansions Strelok is the main character even when we're not playing as him really, it's kinda cool in a way.
just started playing shadow of chernobyl for the first time. this game is fucking awesome.
>>483216097>Sometimes cut content is really coolmost times it's better than what we get. Cut content is not cut because it was a bad idea, it's cut because there are not enough resources to fully implement said idea.>the worthwhile cut content does get repurposedwhich is what happened with the sequels of ShoC, not representative of what generally happens with cut content. I mean, so many concepts and ideas were cut that we got total conversion mods that restore said content.
>>483216097>In an alternate timeline where we got Messer instead this exact conversation would happen with the names flipped aroundI think you misunderstand. The entire story of ShoC is based around Marked One finding out that he is indeed STRELOK and that C-Con mistakenly gave him the mission to go after himself since he knew too much.My suggestion was to have both Messer and Strelok exist as two separate entities in the game, that would at the end be revealed to be the same character. Similar to Jason Bourne or any other character that suffers amnesia and has to unravel his origins and past deeds during the story.
>>483182108>>armory overhaul>>can only use one primary and a pistol>the modmaker's a retardanon, you know thats just the default clear sky weapons layout, same as shadow of chernobyl.one slot for pistols, small arms, one slot for long guns.you have played vanilla soc and cs right?clear sky has always had FPS drops, one of the major complaints about the game on release.you can easily see it lag hard in the swamps looking from one corner of the map to another.

>>483235424thanks man. I'm hoping to be able to beat them all by the time the new one comes out.
>>483228543The issue with gaymma is that it doesn't feel like a stalker game, nor like a stalker mod. It feels like escape from tarkov if someone made a stalker themed mod for it. And while I'm all for stalker themed mods for different games, playing only gaymma and screeching about how it's the best Stalker experience (like some gaymma fans do) is retarded, and would be akin to me telling you that MoWAS2 with stalker mods is literally the best Stalker experience, even though it's a literal mod for a fucking RTS game and completely different from actual stalker in all aspects.To expand on the Tarkov accusation, well, it's just true. You have an incredible item bloat, shitty and soulless modern UI, tacticool reload animations, tacticool guns with 381 attachments on them, canted scopes, lasers, NVGs, thermal scopes... Although that does sound pretty fun to play with as a Merc, right? Wrong! The gaymma devs decided to ruin that as well, and introduce an incredibly retarded progression system where you have to spend genuine dozens of hours just to slightly progress. All of the things I mentioned before are only achievable if you spend at least ~40-50 hours of pure grind as your character. And the incredibly weird and needlessly complicated repair system doesn't help either.Oh, and don't forget, Ironman is basically unplayable because of how unbalanced mutants are. A blind dog will always one hit kill you in the early game.TL;DR: gaymma is a good stalker-themed Escape From Tarkov mod, but a horrible stalker game.
>>483218868Yeah idk I think the way it is in the game right now works fine. I don't like amnesiac protag setup most of the time but it works fine in this game. Also the ''oops lmao we made a mistake and sent you to kys'' in the true end wss funny.

>>483250275>40-50 hours of grindingi remember playing misery as like, my first intro to stalker because i heard all these great things about it, and when i eventually got sick and tired of it i switched back to normal CoP and realized how fucking gay and needlessly retarded that much grinding was. literal artificial difficulty so people and shit turd youtubers will talk about how unreasonably hard their mod is. It's not about emulating a realistic enviroment, its about making an already difficult game even harder. gay as FUCK-seacrest

I wonder if they'll have anything neat to give out this year as well.
>>483270424>Protagonist is a ex soldier>military faction removedat least you got this much right
>>483297537>a 4090 struggles as wellThe absolute state of modern gaming industry. It'll still be your fault for having a shit PC tho, just upgrade bro, the game is totally optimized bro, you don't even know what optimization is bro so wtf are you on about LOL
>>4832977783 years of delays are simply not enough to optimize a UE5 game, please understand!
Clear Sky is pretty awful to replay, even with mods. ShoC and CoP aged much better.I got to the dark valley and have no intention to continue playing. The swamps were at least a *new* location that I had fun re-exploring, but now the game just feels like endless fetch quests and the faction war adds nothing of any significance.
>>483299628>3 years of delaysIt's not even a GSC issue, it's an industry wide issue. No one knows what optimization means anymore, everyone uses Swiney's piece of shit engine, everyone believes it's black magic that does everything for them, but it doesn't because it sucks dick, and in the end it all runs like shit with the devs coping that gamers should just shill out for an RTX 4090, they don't have to do jack shit, just consume product.
>>483300369If the leaks are anything to go by, Stalker 2 was transferred over from UE4 to UE5 because of UE5 features like Lumen and Nanite. However, there is a way to disable Lumen by forcing the game to run in a "Windows 7 mode", which I'm guessing is just Dx11 instead of DX12.But yeah, you can expect it look and run like shit with smeary temporal AA and FPS drops into the 20s on high-end hardware. And you fucking bet GsC is gonna use the game's shit performance to partner up with Nvidia features like DLSS so they can get more money.
stupid goy just buy our artificially inflated cost product.I said it before its all just long collusion to sell more product.

>>483327203>IWP is a CoC modMy bad, now I realized it's even worse
>>483326963Have (You) played it yourself? Anomaly's gunplay is absolute shite, the guns manage to feel both unresponsive and light at the same time. IWP's gunplay is great, while at the same time only improving on the actual stalker game mechanics instead of replacing them with tarkovfaggotry. Comparing these two is retarded.
>>483299948Yeah the Clear Sky Swamps are nice. I enjoy the swamps, the skeuomorphic hud, the blueish-tinted UI, weapon and outfit upgrades, Clear Sky faction armors, more lived-in feeling bases and the atmosphere in Swamps...What I did NOT like though is that Clear Sky feels very dead and scripted. And what I mean is that if you go to a place that will be a mission location like the Cordon factory, or the Dark Dolina factory above X-18 etc it's all empty and deserted until you get the quest to do things and then the enemies just spawn in place. You have to follow the script to the letter and it's pretty exhausting because the maps are mostly really empty when you're just following the story. The mutant squads are all marked on the map and emissions despawn most of the NPC squads so those are just mandatory timeouts from gameplay. Horribly horribly boring. The game world feels really artificial and everything and everyone feels like they're just waiting for you to come so they get the permission to do things. Meanwhile both SoC and CoP to a lesser extent feel like the game world progresses, evolves and characters do things on their own. There is danger and excitement in the world, especially SoC. It's unrefined but it's exciting and chaotic. I watched a non-stalker streamer go afk in CORDON of all places to go on the toilet and while he was gone there was a random battle between loners, dogs and bandits even though he left when things were calm.
>>483299948>>483329595It's funny, in Clear Sky GSC was learning to do things ''better'' by introducing more scripted and controlled sequences, more in-engine cutscenes, less ''chaotic'' feel to the game but really that made the game so ungodly BORING. Same with a lot of the touted ''incredibly atmospheric'' side quests from CoP like the Chimera hunt.. GSC learned to make bad versions of AAA game setpieces..Shadow of Chernobyl is a great example of the meme image ''Task failed successfully''. I doubt it's utterly chaotic spawns, all the ways you could sequence break it and / or otherwise go off script were intended by the gamedevs for the most part but that was part of the secret sauce that would make Shadow of Chernobyl incredibly magical. It's got the same energetic game feel to it as the original Half Life in a good way that when you know the game you can style your way through it like a tornado especially in vanilla. Feels like you're some slavic version of Arnie in Commando. This is the chief reason why it's so infinitely more replayable for me. Oh yeah and the bleak atmosphere that was very close to Metro in a good way, all those prop corpses of stalkers that had decayed inside their suits and the like. Almost completely absent from later entries and CoP esp was so ridiculously sanitized I laughed in what was supposed to be a somber moment when you find Joker's corpse which is a clean white skeleton completely clotheless and the pda item lying on the grass.
>>483327203does the engine runs better than CotZ?
>>483299948>>483329595>>483331107In addition on replays and such when you know bits of the game from memory it's nice to go like ''Oh yeah I know there's this this and this that I grab here while I'm around, I can take a little little detour here and get this'' etc, while in Clear Sky no, you can't do that shit most of the time unless you have the pre-requisite quest to go and do the thing! I can shit on some CoP quests too especially the lame ones that have next to no combat in a game already with too little combat but to Call of Pripyat's credit a lot of the quests can be resolved in a number of different ways that can then influence later events or the game world subtly / tie into other quests. It's not some Macchiavellian web of intrigue but it adds enough spice, believability and immersion to the game world.Shadmen of Chernobyl has that thing going with some of it's placed-in world stashes that you can do and it's.. I wouldn't say Shadow of Chernobyl is amazingly open ended in the way you can tackle the quests, you're effectively in a big pipe that's in a deep ditch. But there are big enough sections of the pipe missing that you can outside the pipe for a while and occasionally there's a T intersection so you don't feel too boxed in.In Clear Sky you're firmly in the pipe the whole time.Yeah, CoP has major issues too like the aforementioned lack of shooting at human enemies and while the maps themselves are relatively substantial and freeroamyish, the fact that they're completely isolated from one another without some connecting levels between them is fairly unforgivable. The game world map should've formed a triangle of the larger maps and then there should've been a smattering of Clear Sky swamps style more action-packed connecting levels in between. Zaton is too open, the Jupiter plant is barely used and in freeroam almost no one goes there except into that tiny closed-off bit to the side.
I really, really like Roadside Picnic and am intrigued by Goldsphere. Is it any good? I just see vague reviews saying it's closer to the book, but no specifics as to how and absolutely nothing about its quality or if it's actually fun.
>>483321462he's funnier than you at least
stalker unless heavily modified kinda plays like COD.and that is a good thing.you sprint very fast, there is little inertia (thank god), and you can almost air strafe while jumping. jumps also go like 6m far and dont cost a lot of stamina. stamina in general is very high unless you are overweight.
>>483337569You suck cock by choice
>>483337861>he tries to be funny and as predicted fails miserably
>>483338232I am not trying to be humorous, I am stating, as an objective fact, that you are a literal cocksucker and enjoy deep throating penises
>>483342278yes you tried. and failed
>>483337812The jumping distance isn't really that big a deal given that every puzzle of sorts involving jumping is made with that distance in mind. Now height is another story. Fucker can't jump for shit, and nothing really seems to affect that. I once ran a kit that was an upgraded wind of freedom suit with 4 bubbles, and while I could run from one end of a map to the next with no lose of stamina, my dude still couldn't jump for shit. Maybe variations on jump height like that are harder to program, but I'd still like to see a mod that tries.
>>483343481>glug glug glug

>>483334364>>483331107>>483329595Clear Sky just seems to have less elements of emergent gameplay compared to Shoc and CoP. The sandbox is extremely limited.Thanks for the replies, you make a lot of good points

>>483331107The sleeping bloodsuckers, the chimera, the oasis, and the group trek through the underground tunnels in CoP were all great.
>>483335813>>483344430I'm playing it for the first time right now and I'm a decent ways in. It's okay. It turns Stalker into more of a horror themed adventure game than anything. There isn't as much gunplay and because there are so few NPCs, no real A-life shenanigans. It's interesting enough, but it doesn't feel like "real" Stalker which is what I love the most. I think I'll play it through to the end, but it's not as amazing as I've heard some people say it is.
>>483355937Fuck yeah I am, ya goy schvartzer
>>483357702Plus CoP has that crying burer, that was pretty cool
>>483359008It's got a lot of cool and memorable moments. My favorite part of the game actually wasn't anything I listed, it was a mission where I had to ambush two factions that were meeting at night and I sniped them from far away with night vision while they all ran around having no idea what the fuck to do.
>>483359334My favorite part is when I was fighting the mercenaries at the pump station and then the emission siren started blaring and the mercs and I started fighting over the one spot in the shelter and I looked a merc in the eyes right as the blowout hit and killed him
>>483360307>and I looked a merc in the eyes right as the blowout hit and killed himKino
>>483361161Another time in vanilla CoP I was kinda just wandering around in the dark and started chilling next to a campfire next to some stalkers. It was really dark and I had my light off. Suddenly, gunfire erupts from the bushes and wastes the other guys at the fire. I shoot back at the muzzle flash and kill the shooters. I turn my lamp on. It turns out the guys at the fire were bandits and the guys I killed were Petruha and Awl.

>>483379778nvm got it working
>>483359008The crying burer was stupid. Maybe it's the extremely recognizable stock sound of a baby crying, the other stupid part is that it's thematically completely out of place. It's a secret laboratory where in all likelihood everyone who ever entered was an adult and as I said it's a very recognizable sound. Fell very flat to me.At least X-8 in and of itself was a cool setpiece.>>483351292The stalkers not migrating organically across levels like they do in SoC to refill empty spots was a massive hit to the atmosphere for CS. Camps just respawn in-place like the army blockpost, faction bases etc.Not to mention all the faction war specific gripes like the constant message spam about how your guys are getting massaged and then when you saunter over it's like one blind dog that wandered into the area. And more comically obnoxious english voice acting compared to the more slavic feeling SoC where a lot of the incidental dialogue was not translated. The Freedom base was kinda fun though.What's maddening to me is that when people shit on Clear Sky a lot of the criticism is ''non-stop combat'' and I'm so weirded out because to me that was definitely not the problem, the issue was as I laid out, how dead and artificial the game world is. It's same as Dark Souls 2, the ''enemy spam'' was never my problem but the game has an extremely unenjoyable game feel and movement / attacking that feels ''off''.
>>483389032>"Camps just respawn in-place">implying they don't do that in SoC tooBro that car park in the Cordon is ankle deep in dead bandits because they respawn every time I go past the bridge
>>483389902Most of the camps don't respawn in place which causes all those NPC migrations across maps which causes fun incidental gunfights. And I personally believe the ATP gets reinforced from the dark valley level changer in offline a-life but I could be wrong. Irregardless that would be the exception that makes the rule then imo.Like when you've destroyed the bandit camp in dark valley or the military outpost in Agroprom you notice those enemies traveling across the levels to refill their posts. You can even run into military at the Garbage and Cordon traveling towards Agroprom after you do that. Which creates a lot of incidental firefights across multiple groupings.
>>483389032I thought the idea behind it was that it was trying to deceive any sdalkers in the area, but I could be misremembering shit or making up my own story for it.
>>483368130*chinoblyat
>>483380375>nyway, SoC on console fucking sucks. I miss using MKB and gun mods. Still gonna finish it because I bought the damn thing (on sale, of course)kek you did that too. it's not that bad but it's a bit unresponsive at times on PS4 pro.we probably won't have a PC patch until after Stalker 2 i fear.

good morning /sg/
>>483397015good morning, i'm going to sleep
>>483397082sleep well anon
>>483389032>Camps just respawn in-place like the army blockpost, faction bases etc.That's not true, though.>you notice those enemies traveling across the levels to refill their posts.is exactly what happens in CS. You clear out the map, new NPCs spawn in a certain place, usually on their base, and then travel across the whole level to take back lost territories. They don't just immediately respawn where they died and stay there indefinitely, not moving at all.This is why you can sometimes see bandits taking over the road to Garbage in Agroprom, occasional Freedom or Duty squads travelling through Garbage, said factions sharing the same camp with a squad of loners and so on. They do move between locations, the thing is in CS it's tied to the faction wars and NPCs just travel to closest unoccupied camps, stay there until it becomes overpopulated, and then excess squads travel to a different spot, while in SoC it's somewhat more chaotic.
>>483398303I know how Clear Sky Faction Wars work. But the army blockpost in CS respawns out of think air after you massacre it and so do the faction bases after you've won a faction war.The faction war mechanic is kinda interesting in the maps where it is taking place but the downside is that the faction wars are really most limited to Garbage unless you're Freedom or Duty in which case it goes to Agroprom or Dark Valley depending on who you're fighting for.It could be cool if uhh.. it applied to more maps and more of the maps were actual battlegrounds like the Swamps. They should've also included Wild Territory / Rostok to make the experience less linear.The most fun I had with Clear Sky was with The Faction War mod which puts more emphasis on well, the war between the groupings.

>>483417387It's based. Now misery, anomaly and gamma would be only visual mods without shit item bloating and grind. Get into the engine and scripts to add gameplay features, quests, locations? Firstly, this should be done by a developer for money, secondly, it’s disrespect for yourself, make your own game if you want it.
>>483419171Well, adding guns, scopes, and so on is pretty based.>Nooo you can't add muh heckin gameplay featuresNot every gameplay feature revolves solely around gaymma-like grind. Most people would enjoy mods that add faction wars or dynamic detector artifact hunting to previous games, for instance.

ive never played anomaly or gamma, how can i make it fun, without efp shit and make it feel more like vanilla+
>>483423874The first two are practically a non-issue in the patch of the game i played, the biggest issue i would say is the gigantic backtracking which was already present in the older versions but now multiplied. Another thing is the artifacts being unknown until you cough up the money to recognize them or randomly get the PDA entry on them, the economy is even more strict than in 2.5 so it is extremely limiting
>>483418724looks like generic swat cosplay
>>483432849Call of Chernobyl is your answer, definitely.It literally plays like vanilla except you have all the games' maps and factions with the ability to play as each of them and so on. Also has a lot of mods for quests, dynamic faction relations, warfare and so on.And just in case, if you want improved but not tacticool gunplay, check out the IWP mod for CoC. It's pretty good.

>>483438583Bold statement.

>>483434347i already enjoyed myself with call of chernobyl a lot and then it got abandoned (1.5 never ever), how does iwp compare to gunslinger? im pretty burned out of stalker so i look for interesting and well made mods because playing so much made me picky, last mod ive played that i liked was true stalker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-UxnUHfJMI watched it in 1.5x
>>483444231Personally, I like IWP much more. It feels somehow better for me, the weapons feel lighter but at the same time punchier. There's no retarded HUD removal on Master Difficulty. It also includes a few AI improvement and other mods, so that's nice to have as well.
>>483441275>>483441021Wrong, they will support mods. Most stalker 1 mods are graphical improvements anyway, so why don't drop it and jump directly into 2? This is what most likely is going to happen.
Anons, that merc cosplay guy is starting to annoy me, so I thought I'd share something. What do you guys think? For the record, while incorrect, the green fatigues are on purpose; it wasn't an oversight or anything. The setup isn't based on any specific ingame model; though I did pull a fair lot of inspiration from various sources; primarily fanart.>>483418724At least put in some effort, my dude. Watching you build your kit has been a shitshow from the start to the end; trying to cut corners wherever possible. Kryptek Typhon is just the tactical equivalent to RGB gamershit, the vest you are using is the cheapest possible clone of the Eagle TAC-V1 instead of the M22 Tarzan of the ingame mercs, and a gas mask is vital for the Stalker aesthetic, even if facemask models exist as well. If you're going to follow the ingame models, you're way fucking off, and if you're doing your own thing, like that one anon said, you look more like a generic airsofter than a Stalker merc.For the record, it should be said that airsoft kiddies are in general looked down upon as cringe in cons, and there's a good reason for it. Your low-effort setup will not be an exception.
I think it's due to the whacky proportions of the models in game, but nonetheless most cosplays fail to capture the look they have IN GAME.Both of these gay faggot mercenary LARPers look like airsoft kiddies, except that one is more detailed than the otherWhile on topic, why does it seem that everyone cosplays loners and mercs? I've seen a few monolith and freedom ones as well, but it's pretty dominantly loners and mercenaries
>>483449934In stalker no one wears wool hats, earphones, radios, exposed magazines, grenades nor sleeping bags. They suck because they look nothing like in the games or they cosplay fucking modded suits or what they think a stalker would look irl.
>>483440875It's sewn onto the vest, but I can cut it away. Is there anything I could replace it with?
>>483452284This too
>>483406805>serbian family, croatian mother>hates russianssadly, doubt. The yugo would be like stalker but with a dash more western with a smidge of turk.
>>483448748>hundreds of dollars in kit>wrong color>based on fanartLMAO
>>483449934Funnily enough, I've actually made a a Monolith setup as well, and even a Clear Sky kit, using Yugoslavian blue fatigues as the base. Though again, it's not based on the ingame models so there are no SOVLFUL brown reinforcements on my fatigues.>>483452284>what they think a stalker would look irlThat is actually what I was going for, admittedly. Theoretically I could build a close to 1:1 setup of the ingame models; but the problem is that due to the game being fairly old, they lack a fair lot of detail, mostly due to the age of the game. It works well enough on screen; but IRL at the end of the day without much detail it'll look quite dull.>In stalker no one wears wool hatsThe funny thing is, I just realized you're right on that. Not a single character model in the entire series has a hat, besides Forester with his ushanka. Not sure if you care that much, but that hat I'm wearing is actually a legit 90s era Chechenka. Most of the kit I generally use for these is primarily old school Soviet or Chechen era Russian stuff. I personally think the Stalker aesthetic and feel is generally about embodying the 90s post-soviet misery. Guns shouldn't be primarily be tacticooled to hell and back ARs, but simple AKs; if there's some accessories they should be most definitely from the Chechen or even Afghan era.>>483453914See above, I personally don't think the ingame models work very well IRL, even if they do have SOVL. That being said I do understand why it does put purists off. If it helps, the merc setup was quite literally for legit LARP purposes; and I went for green due to the outfitting instructions.
>>483357946>>483344430>>483335813I started playing it. It's funky and sorta janky but I like it. I definitely get what they mean when they say it's closer to the book. A lot less emphasis on guns and NPC's, a lot more emphasis on anomalies and stealth. Guns are almost a last resort against mutants. If you like Stalker for the spontaneous gunfights that break out between different factions or any of the straightforward FPS aspects then you will not enjoy Goldsphere. The Zone is an empty, dreadful place with a few stalkers creeping around and avoiding the military.Like I said it's sorta janky. It's my first time playing any mod that changed the story or added missions so I don't know how it stacks up against others, but I imagine this would probably be considered relatively polished.Personally, in a way it's exactly what I was looking for in a Roadside Picnic adaptation, or at least it's the closest I'll ever get. The Zone isn't a battlefield, it's a bizarre uninhabitable wasteland full of dangers you can't fight.
>>483454506I actually stopped playing it because of that. Stalker's framework just isn't set up for that kind of almost purely exploration game. Jumping and platforming is kind of janky and jumping around looking for a way into things or a way to reach them is too much of the game for me. If there was more clever interactivity I'd probably like it more, but seeing the Garbage almost completely empty just makes me sad.
>>483434101>generic swat>>483441075>SWAT uniformI was going for a more SAS look but thanks. I'm on a very tight budget so the SWAT-like look is close enough for me.
>>483454506I never really understood the focus on the tactislop in the fanbase. While the gameplay is pretty shooting-heavy, basically all the lore implies that the Zone is exactly what you said: not a battlefield, but a bizarre uninhabitable wasteland full of dangers you can't fight. At least for me, the Zone is not about killing shit dead, and more about the journey and exploration.On which note, does anyone have a good story recommendation; that focuses less on killing shit dead, and more on simple adventuring, besides Goldsfera? Spatial Anomaly was pretty good and I liked it, along with Secrets of Cordon - something along the lines of those two would be pretty good. I don't mind combat, but it shouldn't toss you into massive firefights every five seconds.
>>483454434you post on reddit and you jerk off shitty soviet gear like its the holy grailtheres nothing more really to add
>>483455269>I never really understood the focus on the tactislop in the fanbase.The gunplay is good and the A-life faction fighting is fantastic. Stalker isn't a straight adaptation of Roadside Picnic. Thinking that's all it is is stupid.
>>483454434Nice cosplay but I've never seen the in-game models look like anything you're wearing. Not even the Stalker 2 models. Your get-ups are very well done, and are both look far better than my cheap blue merc get-up but they do not represent the in-game models well enough. When did the Monolith snipers start wearing boot gaters and a cape? Or eye + ear protection?
>>483447002Damn, I wish I didn't post this pic >>483285282 already
>>483455563Why are you so hostile, anon? Can't we be friends? :(>>483455890Not ingame, they do not, you're right on that. I'm in the camp who doesn't make 1:1 setups that are attempting to clone the ingame models straight up; but rather attempts to go for a more "realistic" look while still attempting to keep the aesthetic. The ingame Monolith kit would simply be urban camo fatigues with brown reinforcements, and an M22 Tarzan vest. It's doable, but not the look I am going for here. As for the cape, it's a plash-platka, a Soviet tent quarter cut up into an improvised sniper's cloak.The model isn't based on any specific ingame model, but rather this fanart here, though I don't have the handicraft skills necessary to build a Gauss rifle, even if we all do have fond memories of the Monolith gauss snipers in Pripyat.
>>483448748Everything's fantastic from the neck downThe beanie, the earmuffs, the safety glasses, and the crawlspace respirator suck ass for cosplay, but are probably great for actual innawoods shit, which is what this loadout looks like it's used forAlso, it's more of a loner color scheme than a merc, but that's a minor gripe.6/10 if you're going to a con, 9.5/10 if you're going up a logging road and posting pics on /k/
>>483455269Maybe Return to the Zone? It was made by the creator of golden balls, but it came out more recently, so Jekan's more experienced and the mod's not as janky.
>>483457236>if you're going up a logging road and posting pics on /k/nobody actually does that anymore. /k/ is full of faggots nowadays
>>483454434respect for using the proper monolith patch, most cosplayers seem to use the second variant which isn't actually featured on any in-game models.
HAHAHAyeah modding is cooked
>>483449934Everyone does loners because it has the most SOVL, plus there's no uniform so you can highly personalize it (to various degrees of success)Mercs: they're le heckin badass, plus the costume is literally just coveralls, a vest, and a mask (it's insane that this dude is having so much trouble with it)Monolith: le heckin bad guy faction, therefore attracts retards. I have seen more shitty Monolith cosplays than any other kindFreedom: literally just a cheap flecktarn parka. Impossible to fuck up.
>>483448748>>483454434these too give a strong vibe of a timmy who bought surplus military shit and just needed a ground to show he means bussinessit's fucking tiresome how in other settings people trying actually need to engage in some form of craftsmanship and no matter the end result it shows effort and genuine love for their hobby, but in stalker it's usually bunch of random military shit barely resembling anything in the game some dyel decided to throw on himself

>>483454434You fucked up the head here too
>>483458036detector is simply the most important piece of stalker gear duh
>>483458674the cosplay is excellent i just wanted to poke fun at that desu
>>483456831I have that cape (plash palatka)It's comfy as fuck
>>483457504Well I don't post really on /k/, because you can never lurk enough, but still.>>483457567Funnily enough, I actually own two of every official GSC patch - they sold them for a short while on the short-lived Stalker-Shop in the early 2010s. The official GSC Monolith patch is the second variant you mentioned, not the ingame patch. That being said, I think the ingame one looks far nicer.>>483457909I fully admit I cannot craft stuff - I cannot sew to save my life. That being said, I think you're being a bit harsh. This stuff isn't really all random, but rather most of it is quite consistent and has seen quite a lot of use in Chechenya in the 90s, which seems to be the primary aesthetic the Stalker devs were chasing. And while it's not hand-crafted, most of the stuff is fairly hard to find as well and took me a good while to find, because I wanted something specific that could've actually seen some use in the Zone with the Zone aesthetic. I could give some examples but I don't it really matters that much.Plus I do really like stolk - I recall spending dozens of hours combing through Koan's gift in the early 2010s, and hand-translating a variety of weird fucking Russian forums trying to get a better understanding of the lore. I think it's kind of harsh to say I have no love for stolk.>>483458672Sorry anon. Is this any better?
>>483457578Holy fucking shit
>>483454956>>483455269>>483455601Truly different strokes. I like both approaches, and understand that they had to add a lot more action and generally fill out the world in order to make it a 'fun' game with broader appeal, but I also really like how >>483455269 pointed out that there is a disconnect between the shooty warfare gameplay and the spooky wasteland described in the lore.Almost like there are 2 different fanbases; the ones who want hardcore tacticool Russian Fallout, and the ones who want a cosmic horror haunted house. I personally love both.
>>483459163>Is this any better?Way, way, way worse
>>483459163>Chechenya in the 90s, which seems to be the primary aesthetic the Stalker devs were chasingman...
>>483459229>there is a disconnect between the shooty warfare gameplay and the spooky wasteland described in the lore.But there isn't. There being spooky things people don't understand and are afraid of in the lore doesn't mean that the games were every supposed to be nonstop environmental horror about isolation. This is S.T.A.L.K.E.R, not Roadside Picnic, and not Stalker. The actual Stalkers, people venturing into the zone to try to learn more about it and gain some kind of wealth from it, is integral.
>>483459497To be honest I'm not sure how that's worse - it's old Soviet tanker NVGs hooked to a tanker helmet and jury-rigged to work standalone, combined with a PMK-3 gas mask rigged to a hose. Not sure what your standards for stolky headgear are, but at least I think that should pretty much fit the bill. >>483459652While ingame models are one thing, the original concept art for SoC and CS are pretty Chechen-era in terms of their kit and looks, with some Afghan-era things dropped in. Gorka mountain suits, Lifchik chest rigs, tourniquets wrapped around AK stocks, dual taped magazines, bakelite accessories, Soviet canvas pouches - pretty much all of those things are iconic and emblematic for those two conflicts.
>>483459229>I personally love both.Based. Same.
>>483460391>While ingame models are one thing, the original concept art for SoC and CS are pretty Chechen-erathe thing is that the pictures you have in mind aren't concept art, they are promotional images created by an artist who haven't even played the games. the aesthetic that the devs were actually chasing is more like sci-fi stuff mixed with contemporary stuff. there was a debate about this topic a few threads ago that quickly turned into a shitstorm, let's not do it again
>>483461850What mod?
>>483463000If I were to guess, OP-2.2
>>483459791I know, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that for a certain crowd of people, getting hooked in by the concept of exploring this bizarre treacherous hostile realm and then being met with endless hoards of dogs, gangs of bandits just hanging out, fucking zombies with guns, and anomalies that all basically just amount to landmines that you can see from a mile away is a bit of a disappointment.
>>483459791>the original concept art for SoC and CSbuddy, you really don't want to go this way, you seem to have no clue at allyour attitude just convinces me you are more of the type I descibed in my first post, some kid with weird obsession over soviet junksorry for being a dick, but after years of watching this shitshow of a community I kissed my tolerance goodbyeseriously, I've never seen a "fanbase" that would actually mistreat their setting so effortlessly
>>483464480You make it sound like there's a large group of people who somehow got the idea that Stalker was a horror game with minimal gunplay.
>>483461879Really? I'd prefer it over another "why analmeme is bad" shitstorm personally. Hell I have half a mind to buy some size 14 space boots and make a SEVA suit like your pic - I'll even get to do a little virtue signalling with the Ukraine patch.Most of these anons cosplays show effort and don't look bad at all but if you pointed them to me and said "that guy's from (random military game)" I would believe you. I think the best one I've seen is pic related, though I guess having a cranial shape of a Slav helps immensely in selling the look.
>>483464776>I guess having a cranial shape of a Slav helps immensely in selling the look.I was gonna say that's the first thing that I noticed. You can TELL this man was born in slavland. He was BUILT for this. Plus, the cosplay is pretty much spot on
>>483464605>sorry for being a dick, but after years of watching this shitshow of a community I kissed my tolerance goodbyeAnd I'm not sorry for saying this, but you're a fucking retard. I don't have a boner for soviet stuff or tacticool shit, and I don't care how much of a super special fan you are for pretending that concept art and original design documents are somehow the "real" version of a game. Every fanbase for every game has people like that and they're all equally stupid and deluded because they somehow decide that early concepts and ideas are the real game we were always supposed to get. The fact is that the Stalker games are just as much about gunplay and interacting with A-life as they are about segments like Agroprom or the other underground labs. For the record, this is my post here>>483357702>The sleeping bloodsuckers, the chimera, the oasissee which parts of CoP I brought up first? So skip the bullshit where your stupidity and desire to argue makes you assume that everyone who disagrees with your worthless assessment is the tacticool soviet obsessed strawman you've cooked up in your head.
>>483464671I mean, there was enough of a group of people at least curious about it to have a mod made and get popular that does just that
>>483465804I'm pretty sure only the people who play shit like GAMMA start with a mod before playing the vanilla games and then decide that's what the series is actually about.

>>483466508kinda hard while I have to multitask between posting and jerking off to bloodsucker porn
>>483464605You do realize though, that's some pretty old concept art, right? While that art was made into a model; that particular model was scrapped pretty early on, before being turned into the Skat-9. It's kind of like saying that the Aztec level is a good example of what the devs were going with Shadow of Chernobyl - while it was undoubtely a part of the development process; chainsaws and energy guns are a pretty far cry from what we got in the end.As for me, I like do like kit, you're right about that, but I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with Soviet stuff - I'm rather interested in the details that make the larger whole. Instead of just slapping together random stuff, I do my research to figure out what would be likely to see use. It's not exactly like I'm trying to use Stalker as an excuse to bring out my boxes of Soviet crap out, as you seem to be trying to imply: most of my Soviet stuff I actually got specifically for this stuff, because I do like stolk and I do not want to half-ass stolk stuff.You can tell me my setups aren't 1:1 with the ingame models; and you'd be wholly right about it. And I do understand why purists wouldn't like it.
>>483467862>You do realize though, that's some pretty old concept art, right?yes, my point being concept/fan/promotional art are not good reference point, in this case at leaststalker leaned hardly into the sci-fi territory even in from its conception, first and foremost>energy guns are a pretty far crythis nigga missed the gauss gun for 800 rub in dark valleypoint at him and laugh

>>483456831>but rather attempts to go for a more "realistic" look while still attempting to keep the aestheticBut the unrealistic look IS part of the aesthetic. I get the look you're going for but it's simply not as effective as something like pic related.
>>483452284>no one wears wool hats, radios, earphones, grenades.That's because are extremely limited in terms models you stupid fucking cuck. Imagine being so fucking dumb that you try to argue that a stalker cosplay is bad because it doesn't conform 100 percent to the model.>>483449934Free unaffiliated stalkers are most 'iconic' in that sense, with a detector, worn-down and patched military gear and some parka, an older gas mask and voila, you got a nice stalker getup going.>>483459163This looks really cool. Ignore the moronic vanilla model purists who think it's the cosplayers who are wrong instead of GSC being lazy in terms of including even a slight bit of variety to their models.

>>483466050Anon, I'm pretty sure Gamma is the epitome of tacticool slop, and about as far from exploring a strange wasteland as possible. Gamma is cancer in many ways, but I'd find it pretty weird to describe it as a quiet walk through a world where the laws of physics have broken utterly; when the focus of that modpack seems to be to add tactical rifles and to kill shit dead with no further overarching plot or suspense.Also, there are a fair lot of popular mods that are far older than Gamma, in which the focus is in the journey through the Zone, and not in constant gunfighting. Fotograf and Goldsfera to name two.>>483470249Eh, even the Gauss rifle fires a conventional projectile, it's just the propulsion mechanism that's unusual. That being said, miss the Dark Valley Gauss? My brother from another mother, I make a point of paying Vampire's guys their 800 rub every single playthrough, if only so that I can have moral high ground to kill every last one of them for stash coordinates.As for the concept art, the ones I'm referring to are pretty late art, though, and some of them were even made after SoC was churned but, but before CS was released. I wouldn't say we can compare early rejected concepts as equals to those that came out promotionally just before and after the game came out.>>483471218I do get it, anon, and like said, I do understand why purists won't be on board with what I do.>>483471223I appreciate the support, but calm down, anon. Most of the SoC models were churned out in the early 2000s. For the time period, the models in Stolk are actually fairly detailed and there's even decent variation too, even if by modern standards it's kind of lackluster. But we shouldn't hold a game that is about to be old enough to drink to contemporary standards.>>483471718I mean, anon, I'm pretty sure I explained my stance pretty well in this post: >>483460391
>>483464776>I think the best one I've seen is pic relatedI think >>482817126 aren't too bad, but they could be a little more weathered. They don't look tacky or tacticool since that is not what STALKER is about.
>>483472246>we shouldn't hold an old game to contemporary standardsIt's not really mucg to do with the game's age but rather effort. Between the old builds and SoC GSC actually made a pretty impressive amount of models and variations but they actually got way worse in Clear Sky and CoP, with Loners for example going from having a ton of different face covering variations to basically having two variations for the sunrise suit guy.Freedom, Duty, Monolith all got less variety than the SoC faction.But the point was more than realistically and THEMATICALLY stalkers, especially free stalkers, bandits and mercenaries who don't belong in the specific elite outfits would mix and match and have all kinds of different gear setups and jury-rigged equipment etc. We hopefully see more of that in ctankep dva because not only does it make sense but it makes it more fun.
>>483472246>Anon, I'm pretty sure Gamma is the epitome of tacticool slopYes, but you missed the point about what I was saying.
>>483473147>We hopefully see more of that in ctankep dvano, we don't. loners look kinda gay, at least the ones in the alpha. And there's only like 10 different faces for NPCs that are used repeatedly.
>>483473970>10 different faces for NPCsYea that's fine actually. I still don't understand why they stopped having a lot of NPCs wearing balaclavas after SoC when that solved many sameface issues.
Post more bad STALKER cosplays

>>483417267>>Modification of any other file types (like scripts, configs or libraries) is not allowed and the files will not be loaded by the game and accepted by moderation.what a joke.Those fuckheads could have added some existing bugfixes before releasing those on consoles.

Whuch level do oldfags think is what pretty much just encapsulates what STALKER is? Asking since I've seen people talking about how the newer generation always says Limansk or CoP's Prypiat but I think that is just because of how many encounters and oportunities for firefights are there in those maps, while the older ones go for shit like Army Warehouses or Yantar, imo is the red forest/radar from SoC, I wanted to use some of the ones from build shit like OLR's Garbage altough Cordon is quite comfy in that version
>>483523924Also forgot about Darkscape but even though it looks nice there's nothing to do there and im not really a fan of the xbox huge level in there but becomes tolerable when playing mods that add cars like in OGSR or NA
>>483523924Agroprom or Dark Valley. Those had the first underground levels you'd do and it was before you got your top-tier equipment. For the rest of my life I'll remember the first time I encountered a blood sucker and when I went through X-18 in Dark Valley. Those blew my 17 year old brain.
>>483519419>he doesn't play with minimum settings and resolution with keyboard onlyngmi
>>483523924>Whuch level do oldfags think is what pretty much just encapsulates what STALKER is? Cordon. Loners sitting around a fire in a wrecked village playing acoustic guitars and bandits wearing trench coats and track pants and shooting sawed off shotguns and shitty Makarovs.Ignore that crybaby faggot talking about late game shit. When you think of, for example, Far Cry 3, you're thinking of Vaas and pirates, even though he's just the act 1 guy. Golden rule of vidya is that World 1-1 is the aesthetic that everyone associates with the game.
>>483523924>the newer generation always says Limansk or CoP's PripyatHuuuhhhh? That sounds made up, man. If someone suffers Clear Sky all the way up to Limansk and leaves with a positive first experience they gotta be a real diamond dozen.Anyway, I gotta go with >>483525360 . That level introduces the player to the setting, has actually a fairly high amount of points of interest, and still feels very dangerous and part of the game world even if it is the 'tutorial' level.>>483525360>even though he was just the Act 1 guyFar Cry 3's first act is still very very substantial. Or maybe it felt like that because I went through the trouble of doing all the checkpoints and shit. In the end it was still worth it to play through the whole thing for Citra haha.
>>483521763kek
>>483484213>>483488613>>483488791It's so strange to see people get so mad about fucking COSPLAYS that don't even have an impact on the game itself. It's like Tejas Stalker cloned himself to have more people on the vanilla purist agenda. I enjoy playing the vanilla games, at least ShoC but holy fuck if these purist piser retards got their way we would never get new models or new anything.
Does anyone have any good S.T.A.L.K.E.R. shortcut icons that look similar to the games' icons yet different? CoCk's icon looks awful and cartoonish as fuck, but I can't seem to find any good replacements, and I want my mods' shortcuts to have different icons from the trilogy.

>>483464776Funny picture
>>483544846Nothingburger.There's no way for them to enforce this shit on decade old vasyankas running on a pirated 1.0004 SoC and mods hosted on Yandex/VK
>>483542049Check the cutting room floor entry on stalker shoc, there's a lot of unused portrait graphics and shit. Alternatively you can use any good image to make your own by converting pictures into ico files.
>>483544846>anomeme and other standalone tarkovfag mods bannedGood. Finally, we'll have less tourists coming here from tarkov and only playing shitty mods like these. Can't imagine calling yourself a stalker fan but wishing for more tarkov tourists in the community. I hope they enforce this rule.>b-but muh paywalls!Stalker games cost like ten bucks each you retard, imagine not wanting to support your favorite game franchise. Oh wait, it isn't your favorite game franchise? Tarkov and COD are? Oh, of course.
>>483519419>shilling your new jewtube video for GAYMAget the fuck out
>>483546575>less tourists coming hereThis general is fucking dead. Just as I wish you were. Fucking nigger actually wants there to be less mods so you can enforce your vanilla puritanism. Rope yourself you melanoid.

>>483546757>less than one reply per five seconds means le dead generalKek.>Fucking nigger actually wants there to be less mods so you can enforce your vanilla puritanismShitty reading comprehension, huh. I don't want there to be less mods, I want tourists to buy the games and play them before they get into shitty overhaul mods and then get their entire idea of stalker from tarkovfag bullshit.
Best mod for SoC: Oblivion Lost 2010 Modpack by KyuzoBest mod for CoP: Misery 2.2But none of you guys ever, it's all analmeme analmeme. Analmeme was ok for the first part until I got to the CoP maps which were FUCKING EMPTY.
