It's garbage, isn't it?
>>11414563Garbage is for sure the place to be. Bandits can be annoying, but one man's trash can be another man's treasure, know what I'm saying.
The game is fantastic but the main story is shit. Way too hollywood trash. They should have kept to the source material.
Nah it's good, and it's not the shooting mechanics that make this game as memorable as it is.
>>11414563Vanilla? Yes, absolutely, but with mods you can turn this turd into a wonderful experience.

>>11414576I don't understand why people insist that vanilla Stalker is a bad game, i played it a few years ago and found it very good and enjoyable without mods.
>>11414576you may as well play clear sky
>>11414576>>11414563filtered
>>11414563Stalker SoC + ZRP = Problem solved
>>11414576Part of me wishes mods didn't exist so these games would filter out mentally retarded zoomers
Not retro. Go back /v/ermin.
>>11414570>hollywood trashWhat?
>>11414965They very much stripped down and casualized the story of the film/book it's based on.
>>11414563no it's great you are just bad i beat it last year and it still holds up way better than stalker 2 or any new sp fps
>>11414576>gamma/anomaly baby with no taste in gamesyou should go register on BDSM forum if you are that masochistic and like pain
>>11414969What does this even mean? Roadside Picnic's nor the STALKER film's lend themselves to an action game without some significant changes to the story and setting.
>>11415193This, you can either play a game or read a Russian novel.
>>11415193STALKER film doesnt but the book has the mob, the military, and other stalkers which all lend themselves to action. I dont actually have a problem with how they built the world, I like it infact, but they didn't need to make the protagonist special. They didnt even bother with anomaly sites til Pripyat where, if anything, they overcompensated.
>>11414563Nah you are
>>11414563Yes, STALKER games sucked until CoPSoC feels unfinished and has a lot of ideas that weren't completely fleshed out, same with Clear Sky. CoP on the other hand actually feels like a finished game and is a great game as a result.SoC with a few minor mods can be mostly fixed same with clear sky but most of the mods are giant complete overhaul mods that kind of ruin the original experience.
>>11414969>>11414570The movie is not based on the book.The game is neither based on the movie, nor the book.
>>11415639>inspired by fictional works: Boris and Arkady Strugatsky's science fiction novella Roadside Picnic (1972) which was loosely adapted into Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker (1979)i think youre splitting hairs to be argumentative and/or defensive. either way the main plot of SoC is shit. great video game though.
>>11415648Basing the game on a book and being inspired by a book are two very different things.Is Doom based on the stories of the Bible because it has hell and demons in it?Is Quake an adaptation of an HP Lovecraft story featuring a Ranger because one of the bosses is named Shub-Niggurath?Metro 2033 is based on a book. That's the fucking difference.
>>11415656>splitting hairs>being argumentativebye
>>11415658>No argumentYes, run away. You do that best, anyhow.
>>11415664youre only proving that youre only here to argue
>>11414969>>11415658>>11415648>argumentative>how dare you disagree with melmao shut up faggot/sg/ would kick your ass>>11415193nevermind the fact that roadside picnic is about aliens fucking up specific spot on planet earth while stalker is about the chernobyl exclusion zone with no aliens in it
>>11415681>with no aliens in ithehe that's what (you) think.
>>11414563Good game by eurojank standards. It's videoessaycore which is why it's popular on 4chan.
>>11414563I'm actually playing through the Stalker games right now.The premise and idea of these games is actually great. A post-apocalyptic horror FPS-RPG set in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The games however are so buggy and feel so unfinished and rushed here and there. The end product is just not what it was supposed to be. It was supposed to be this really scary immersive survival game with deep RPG and open-world mechanics.I think fans of the series, that have made all of these mods, have been more successful in getting the game where it needs to be. The game still looks good actually. The textures and lighting effects mostly. It was a milestone back in 2007.
>>11414563Buggy, but otherwise a very good game.Much like HL2, so much beta shit got cut or changed that if you try going down the rabbithole to learn all about it you're going to get delusions of a perfect game that was never (nor will ever) exist and probably start to harbor disdain for the product that was released.
>>11415681>/sg/ would kick your assok keyboard warrior
How is the gunplay in those games?
>>11414563so who was the crust monster on the cover supposed to be?
>>11415794Ass, it's serviceable and at times can be fun but it's not great
Get out of here, stalker
>>11415648I love roadside picnic, but a game based on that would've been total garbage.Never saw the movie.
>>11415723It's fucking fun. That's why it's popular.
>>11414568kek fpbp, it's garbage for me as well.
>>11415618Yeah, CoP was the very gratifying slice of pie after getting through my dinner and side course.SoC and Clear Sky were very rough around the edges, but the atmosphere the games give you feels worth it. It's worth baking in that SoC/Clear Sky marinade to top of the entire experience with the immensely improved CoP.
>>11415656>Aliens came to earth and left a zone>Scientific accident caused a zone>Both zones are almost carbon copies of each other>Story is differentStalker is based on roadside picnic aka stalkerIf I made a story based on 40k and switched a few names and thing it would still be based on 40k
