Loving these. I thought I was the only one who paid attention to the ranking thing SoC had in the PDA.

>>927

It's a shame that it was removed in the later games, it was kind of silly to have a ranking system but it made the people you found seem more permanent, instead of just seeming like randomly generated one-off NPCs that you'll never see again. Plus, seeing your name shoot up in the rankings, and then skyrocket once you hit Pripyat and become a one man army, dropping squads of heavily armed and armored Monolith troops and snipers left and right, was great.

Because

>clear sky

But even then they are still useful. You can use it to stall enemies, kill groups(if you have mods to fix that buggy shit) and a bunch of shit, just git gut.

Grenades are good for killing large groups or mutants up in a chokepoint. Also good for forcing stalkers out of cover.

Black sprays maybe?

>>237

sublime, thnxs for the translation.

>>737

Ah! That was the one.

I still wish I knew what the death lamp was.

Highly recommend everyone here read Zona: A Book About a Film About a Journey to a Room. Full book about the movie.

Anybody from /film/ in here? I've got a very interesting step by step breakdown of Stalker. Here's the pastebin if anyone's interested: http://pastebin.com/GZC79bs6

oh and i can provide a couple more links with bundle deals on them if you want. slightly different in color, but still the same filter

>>886

I haven't eaten the tourist delight I got from NE. Anyone try it yet?

>>897

no, but from what i've heard it's basically just spam, but a little spicier. so, ground-up-and-squeezed-into-a-can pork.

honestly it looks rather tasty. not sure if it's just fanboi-ism, but i really want to get some. eat it with some bread and vodka and tell us how it tastes stalker

>>897

>>899

you eaten that byotiful slav spam yet stalker?

>>841

I would love the shit out of ZOA but that sawn-off shotgun reload animation bugs the hell out of me. I have been looking a way to fix it but I don't know nearly enough of Stalker modding to do it myself.

>>841

is it possible to turn the HUD back on? i really can't do without a health bar.

>>850

You see Ivan, when bandit kill you with single shot from shotgun of sawed off, there is no need health bar.

Misery 2.0 has it for sure. Though I think it's a rare or unique weapon like the H&K UMP45; you might have to gewgle around to find out how to get it in-game.

Misery 1.0 … maybe.

I've played most of Lost Alpha and I don't remember seeing it.

Some info on the obrez I remember from a halfchan /k/ thread a while back:

- With the cut barrel, the gunpowder in the cartridge does not have time to burn completely before the bullet leaves the muzzle. This makes for a brighter muzzle flash. I remember seeing a video someone made with one in twilight conditions, and there was a large fireball licking out of the barrel with each shot.

- The cut barrel also means that the bullet has not been stabilized nor begun to spin appreciably when it leaves the barrel. As a result, it has an erratic flight path and tends not to hit the target straight-on. Since it is a rifle bullet, it is fairly long/slender/aerodynamic. A shot with an unmodified mosin at short range would fly right through the target; a shot with an obrez would yaw violently and pass through the target… sideways. This is similar to wound patterns seen by american soldiers in vietnam using early M16 rifles that had an inadequate rate of twist in the barrel rifling for the ammunition they used. Accuracy was shit but the terminal ballistics were devastating.

>>911

>it's not the end destination that matters, its how you carry yourself to said destination.

On my first playthrough of SoC I somehow managed to not find Strelok's stash in the agroprom underground. I played through the rest of the game just looking for this wish granter thing because I never met the doctor.

I still managed to enjoy it and when I played through it again I found I had missed so much of the game!

>>910

kek

sorry dude

>>908

>Lost Alpha was shit on release.

Lost Alpha is still shit after patches. Dez0wave may have done good with Priboi Story, but somehow become considerably less competent as soon as they get the actual SDK and shit to work with. Not to mention abandoning the goal to bring back alpha SOC to instead make shitty reboot fanfiction.

>hasn't finished the games yet

You shouldn't have left the /k/ thread, stalker. Now you're going to be wooooooooorrrrm foooooood.

>implying Steve Blum isn't in the game

>>821

He MAYBE voices one of the freedomers in SOC at the AW entrance for that scripted segment, and a couple of unused lines, all without being credited. Who does he voice anywhere else in the series?

Nah sorry, I don't smoke weed.

Homos

Maybe instead of a weekly challenge its just a challenge thread, the op makes the challenge and the first one to complete it picks the next gets to make their challenge. This way we dont have weeks go by with no completed challenges or alteretivly have to wait around for someone to make a challenge if its a busy week.

>reach the excavator

>HAPPINESS FOR EVERYONE!

Well im planning to start soon and im bringing a rope, duct tape, pocket knife, flash light and some road flares as well as a gasmask and a jacket. Am i missing anything?

Are you of actual surprise, Tovarish?

Both are pretty good once you modify the FOV to be not-shit. Ranger Hardcore on your very first playthrough was a mistake. So was paying money for that mode in LL.

LL had the problem of "stealth is better now, because all enemies are fucking retarded and can't see or hear anything", call of duty knifing, throwing items and claymores all thrown on the same button with some radial menu bullshit, and the game mechanics are not in any way balanced for Ranger mode. Just try switching throwables or knowing on your first go what is and isn't a QTE when that part of the HUD is shut off for no reason.

As far as Redux?

>2033

Fixes some glitches like the "never fully reload the revolvershotgunthing", general visual improvements on everything down to facial animation, but changes the gameplay to Last Light style and they didn't even bother to remotely make your shadow match your movements in any of the scripted sequences where you get knocked the fuck down.

>Last Light

Yeah guys! Let's buy the same game a second time within a year of its release!

List of changes?

>includes the DLC you probably already have or don't care about

>some game mode that ostensibly makes it more survival horror but probably just makes it play more like 2033

>>720

>Two Bloodsuckers 100m from start

Nigga the first time I played a Pseudogiant spawned practically on top of me.

>Hoard of new items to scavenge/sell

Eh, I almost think there's too many. When you have a crowbar and a hammer that do the same thing, you only need one. I also don't see the need for three different kinds of MRE's and multiple kinds of gun oil.

>Class system is gimmicky and restrictive

I kind of agree. I like the concept, but it could have been better implemented.

>Everything is too fucking expensive.

This a million times. Ammo should not be 200 rubles a shot, and a package of MRE's shouldn't be five grand.

>Helmet overlays.

Yeah, that is subjective. I like them because it encourages you to only wear the helmet when you need it.

>>720

The only thing I like about Misery is the addition of the Moist nugget.

mod merge 2014 was bretty nice although i'd like to ask you fellow stalkers what are the pros and cons of mod merge 2014 vs AI mod merge 2015

Thanks!

>>732

^the correct-est answer, right here

>>732

AO has a mosin too.

It may be worth noting (probably not though) that i'm playing through FO: New Vegas right now and I started in hardcore mode the day I bought it, never switched it off since.

One last thing, should I play Clear Sky before SoC or CoP? I know it's a prequel to SoC, so I wonder if it would be more linear if Clear Sky was played first.

unless the story or general appeal relies on the non-linear arc

>>863

>2015 year of our monolith

>not playing games in release order

CS is hands down the worst game of the series. Filled to the brim with game breaking glitches, no iron sights on pistols for whatever reason, and shit missions compared to SoC or CoP.

I personally like it because muh faction war, but I understand why its the most hated game of the series.
