How can we sell the title?

frail spire
#

Well duh, you go around like a creep chasing the idea of wealth and adventure

#

Nothing stops you from finding more artefacts

#

Also you break the law or something

golden olive
#

dunno what's wrong with just the title "Shadow of Chernobyl"

frail spire
#

Maybe the name was in english but the acronym means something else in uk?

#

Or other vodka language

clever verge
#

Stalker is a word used in the English translation of Roadside Picnic, right?

static dagger
#

scavengers trespassers adventurers loners killers explorers robbers

clever verge
#

or they used it in Russian as well

golden olive
clever verge
#

in Spanish they use the word Furtive, at least the translation from Argentina.

feral verge
#

Spanish uses stalker as well

frail spire
#

Saussage Taken Against Lead Killer Enemy Rectum ahh_nuu

feral verge
#

Only the Argentinian one might be different

clever verge
#

They use the english word?

feral verge
#

Yep

frail spire
#

Spanish use merodeador at best

#

Or a cringy stolllquer phonetic

clever verge
#

Stalker, Furtivo, Merodeador, Acosador.

feral verge
#

I've played the games in Spanish

clever verge
#

Acosador doesn't make any sense

feral verge
#

They use the word "stalker"

frail spire
#

Acosador, Sombra de Chernobyl

golden olive
#

But yes basically it is just the word stalker in russian I guess. Then they turned it into an abbreviation for some insane reason

frail spire
#

God that sounds so gay

feral verge
#

They turned it into an abbreviation for copyright reasons

clever verge
#

and that's what Sidorovich says in the spanish dub.

#

Acosador

feral verge
#

Which makes perfect sense, actually, since "stalker" is a generic title that is probably copyright protected

clever verge
#

What does Strelok going to do? Harass the artifacts?

frail spire
#

He mangles the jellyfish

feral verge
#

An official explanation for what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. means is never given outside of the SoC steam store page

frail spire
#

Spreads the graavi

#

Fondles the moonlights

feral verge
#

Which implies that the acronym was never meant to actually mean anything

golden olive
#

Sometimes I search youtube for attractive women telling their stalker stories and I imagine bandits from the zone

frail spire
#

Kek

clever verge
#

You have a strange fetish, mah' du'

golden olive
#

Full disclosure

#

I actually just came up with that

#

but watching some vids on youtube picturing the bandits is cracking me up

clever verge
golden olive
#

And people refer to others in the zone as stalker without the acronym so that's another way the acronym just doesn't work or make sense

finite dragon
#

I'm pretty sure it's just meant to dodge copyright from the movie and roadside picnic

golden olive
#

I don't know

#

Could be

feral verge
#

The only confusing part is why the steam store page for SoC decided to explain the acronym

golden olive
#

Doesnt the scientist tell you what the acronym means

#

isnt it supposed to be a plot point

finite dragon
#

the ccon?

golden olive
#

yea

finite dragon
#

in lore it just means you're an agent

#

it doesn't explain the acronym

feral verge
#

They just said it means you're an agent, ye

#

They never explain the initials

golden olive
#

Oh

finite dragon
#

the store page probably just explains it for ad reasons

golden olive
#

heres an unrelated question

#

did anyone ever play stalker multiplayer

#

was that a thing

feral verge
#

I did, a few times

#

Only CS though

#

It's mediocre and generic, nothing special tbh

golden olive
#

Oh ok

finite dragon
#

only fun with friends

feral verge
#

Fun is subjective

golden olive
#

and then I guess that evolved into survarium which nobody likes

clever verge
#

What makes Survarium bad is the P2W

#

There's no way for you to progress without investing any money.

golden olive
#

nice

clever verge
#

You start good as a Rookie, hella fun, but once you advance in the ranking, you'll start noticing other players characters being far more elite than yours. You're still wearing Rookie Clothes, while they have tanky suits and weapons.

#

and the reward is very low.

golden olive
#

"Plot
A worldwide ecological disaster occurred in the year 2020, wiping out approximately 90% of the human race."

#

uh oh

clever verge
#

Doesn't feel like that at all.

golden olive
#

I gotta watch this stalker movie

#

One day I am going to make a game and I will call it F.O.R.T.N.I.T.E. (for copyright reasons)

clever verge
#

People say it's preferable to firs read Roadside Picnic, watch the film and then read script.

golden olive
#

script?

#

and then watch stalker storytimes on youtube

clever verge
#

Yep they released the script of the film, "The wish Machine".

golden olive
#

Ah right

#

never heard that one before

clever verge
#

Stalker, the wish machine, the desire machine, you might find it with one of those names.

golden olive
#

the book made me release that the anomalies in the game are a bit lame at times

#

thats something they can do better in stalker 2 i hope

clever verge
#

at times, but it also make the experience far more livid. everytime i go to the Bloodsucker valley, or Wild territory in Rostok it always reminds me of the novel.

golden olive
#

i really have no idea what to expect from 2

#

is it going to be good? maybe its gonna be awful

#

donno

#

Ive been playing call of chernobyl and

#

its so good

#

just having all the maps linked up

#

funny they didnt do that in the actual original games

clever verge
#

Lack of memory, maybe.

golden olive
#

I think its more like

#

limited time and budget, so scope needed to be limited

#

but still the maps feel like a cohesive world when stitched together

clever verge
#

It's very well designed.

golden olive
#

hell yea

#

and the environmental storytelling here is way better than the actual storytelling

finite dragon
#

many of the maps you see in coc were intended to be in the original SoC

#

in fact most of the cop maps are just cut content

golden olive
#

o really?

finite dragon
#

Jupiter underground is CS cut content

#

yes

golden olive
#

oh ok

clever verge
#

Could they have made such a large world in the day they launched SHoC?

golden olive
#

Yes?

finite dragon
#

well SoC was original meant to be a 2003-2004 title under the name stalker: Oblivion lost

#

it would have been revolutionary at the time

#

but by 2007 all the cuts and technology advancing made soc underwhelming

golden olive
#

I guess the clear sky and call of pripyat maps are bigger than the shadow of chernobyl maps

finite dragon
#

not really

#

SoC maps were supposed to be much bigger

#

much much bigger

#

in development they shrunk the maps down

golden olive
#

oh

finite dragon
#

after cars got cut

golden olive
#

hehe

finite dragon
#

build garbage is about 2-3 times bigger

#

yantar is about 4 release yantars worth

#

look up Oblivion lost remake, or look up stalker build 1935

#

Hey guys would you reccomend Anomaly?

clever verge
#

Try it out and judge by yourself.

finite dragon
#

I've looked at some clips and the guns look interesting,dunno about the story,guess that I should really just try it out myself

#

on the other hand even if it's not too story heavy it's fine as long as it has interesting tasks

clever verge
#

The opinions are very polarized, so what would be the benefit of waiting for mixed responses.

finite dragon
#

Thanks for the tip

golden olive
#

I hate the slideshow ending of call of pripyat

#

wtf was that

#

😦

finite dragon
#

I don't think it's terrible

golden olive
sturdy locust
#

A confusing thing is that the zombies are not undead, including the unused ones

finite dragon
#

MAJEEEER

sturdy locust
#

Yes they were zombified by brain activity not pathogens but they look necrotic as hell

finite dragon
#

ok as stupid as it sounds I don't get if I have to own CoP to play Anomaly or if it's completely standalone

#

it's standalone

sturdy locust
#

And they eat flesh

#

Come on now GSC

#

Use common sense

finite dragon
#

happy poor guy noises

#

but you should play the main games before jumping into any big mods though

#

I completed SoC and I have to wait to get CoP

sturdy locust
#

Falco is that Francis in your pfp

finite dragon
#

So I tought I would entratain myself with Anomaly

#

Yup

#

I love l4d

#

try OGSR English Edition

#

amomawy doesn't have a very good story

#

and OGSR is a massive overhaul of SoC

#

it adds about 2-3 expansion packs worth of content

#

Hhhmm thanks

golden olive
#

going back to the original games im a bit shocked by the fov lol

finite dragon
#

I'll check it out,I find it slightly hard to understand stalker mods

#

yeah vanilla fov is obnoxiously bad

#

OGSR English edition is also standalone btw

golden olive
#

game looks amazing in 4k with fov and draw distance turned up, except they got lazy with the thumb on the underside with the pistol

#

"eh nobody's gonna see that"

finite dragon
#

Why would they make these mods standalone?sorry for being so clueless

#

yeah don't use the vanilla weapons

#

@finite dragon easier install

#

that and you can do more

#

GSC encourages it

#

oh so they don't consider it a shameful act since you could play them without buying the game

#

yeah GSC just doenst care that some modders just distribute modified versions of the game smile_scar

#

Okay if that's what they think I'm fine by that

#

GSC reopened in 2014 and they haven't cared

#

if they cared they would say something or get legal

clever verge
#

GSC created X-Ray, right?

finite dragon
#

yes

clever verge
#

Noice.

finite dragon
#

terrible engine

#

so glad they're using unreal now

golden olive
#

why terrible

#

its mysterious like the zone itself

clever verge
#

For some reason, when i played Flatout 1 last year, it loooked like SHOC to me.

#

the graphics

golden olive
#

Works as intended

#

its a feature

finite dragon
#

buggy, broken, terrible error handling, arbitrary hardcoded limits for no reason, anti aliasing just doesn't work

golden olive
#

but i remember thinking the smoke looked cool in this one video they showed

finite dragon
#

it ain't stalker if it doesn't crash at least once per day

clever verge
#

You approve the use of Unreal Engine 4?

finite dragon
#

yes

#

UE4 is a tried and tested engine

golden olive
finite dragon
#

I hope they can handle the lighting well and it won't look too weird on the new engine

clever verge
#

is there any game that you want stalker to look and feel like?

#

in terms of development

finite dragon
#

I want stalker to look and feel like stalker but with lessons of the past learned

#

I want stalker 2 to be a truly modern stalker game

golden olive
#

I dont know if I ever remember seeing smoke in the environments of stalker

clever verge
#

I dissabled it.

finite dragon
#

hhmm maybe stalker with weapons similiar to insurgency sandstorm?

#

gunslinger should be something they take note of

#

except expand upon it tenfold

#

Gunslinger's Pda is just so neat

clever verge
#

i loved the interference.

golden olive
#

Using an existing, standard game engine will be to the benefit of the game development as thats where the focus can be rather than the engine

clever verge
#

it should be a thing in Stalker 2, where after every emision, electronics don't work for couple of hours.

#

so you are in the dark, naked and blind.

golden olive
#

Nowadays I'm guessing it really doesnt make any financial sense to work on a new engine or anything like that

#

I guess they could have worked on X-ray but it's a cursed engine

finite dragon
#

Is gunslinger standalone as well?

#

It just feels so weird to play a mod without owning the vanilla game itself

golden olive
#

it is ok stalker

finite dragon
#

I feel like the confused rookie loner of the situation

golden olive
#

well i dont know

#

the only mod i have some experience with is call of chernobyl

clever verge
#

i believe it's an add on.

finite dragon
#

It has to be

#

especially because it's still being worked on

frail spire
#

I think it is an addon indeed

#

Dunno for which mod though

finite dragon
#

gunslinger is an addon for vanilla cop

finite dragon
#

Both something along the lines of gunslinger and atmosfear should be in the vanilla game

#

Maybe even as totally free add-ons in the workshop so they are easily downloadable and manipulable by modders

plain crest
#

Steam workshop?

#

I mean, Atmosphere is a fine mod for immersion, doesn't take 5 minutes to install to be fair.

umbral bay
#

take inspiration from gunslinger
messer
Hire gunslinger devs
smile_degtyarev

finite dragon
#

gunslinger swapped the run and walk controls

umbral bay
#

Those can be changed

#

But Sprint isn't toggle anymore so have fun holding X stupid

golden olive
#

i like the mod that replaces every voice line with "get out of here stalker"

You'll have to wait for them to open them

#

They close them when they're under attack

#

You can't

#

All you can do is wait for them to open it

pseudo rivet
#

Buckshot

static dagger
#

slugs = basically more powerful bullets

#

so use slugs if u wanna kill something from further awa,

#

away

#

shot rounds deal way more damage than slugs if you hit your enemy from close

#

but i think slug wins if you are against an enemy with alot of armor like an exoskeleton

#

but if unarmored or low armor - mutants or bandits, shot is better from close

frail spire
#

Slugs are good when you can't get close and are confident you can nail your target

static dagger
#

I'd recommend carrying 5x more shot ammo than slugs

#

because shot is used in way more situations

finite dragon
#

Slugs/Darts are useless if you have an assault rifle

#

Generally CoP is too easy that you can kill anything anyhow

shrewd dagger
#

Slugs are 6mm longer shells

finite dragon
#

guys which mod for SHOc should I install?

#

Narodnaya Solyanka or lost alpha?

#

I call Narodnaya Solyanka Solyanka Narodyanka lol

#

bruh

#

They are standalone tho

#

Cant recommend either since both are very different

I didn't read the bit where he asked for a SoCk mod

No, play the stuff we like

POLISH VERSION

feral verge

Or else

finite dragon

i mean english

#

guys I have a question

#

I installed Polish translation mods

#

voiceover and the text

#

which now my SOC looks like best FPS low bugdet game xD

#

and

#

does taht mean...

#

I cant install Solyanka Nardoyanka?

#

Play GOOHS, SATGC

#

whats GOOHS or SATGC

#

Get out of here Stalker, Stalin and the great Communism

#

This is a funny polish meme mod

#

You merc

#

NO merc

#

You'll lose a remarkable amount of braincells tho

#

Duty doesnt sleep!

#

For a serious mod you can try:
Return of Scar
Lost Alpha 1.3
OGSE/OGSR
Zaurus Crew's mods

#

Or NS2016 / NS OP-2.1 if you're into söüps

#

STALKERSOUP/STALKERFSIEM :)

#

F.O.T.O.G.R.A.F is good aswell

did he just unironically reccomend la 1.3

#

wooooooow............

#

I know there is A addon for AO for COP that allows you to load your old savefile...

without crashing

#

is there an addon for AO for this

#

for COC

#

anyone?

sudden mountain
#

How can I kill top ranked STALKERS in SOC?

finite dragon
#

you find them and then shoot them

#

every stalker you see in the ranking system is a real stalker that exists

sudden mountain
#

Well yeah but I don’t know where to find them

finite dragon
#

Why do you want to kill them anyways lmao

I see a full green condition bar on my weapon in inventory but i also see a green wrench by the same gun. Can someone explain please?

finite dragon

this is amazing

While in Vanilla they all disappear and respawn right after.

Thank you for the help @finite dragon

#

That video is funny as hell.

#

So many npc's in one tunnel.

clever verge
#

The basterd throw everything at you, and they're like 3 if i counted them right.

#

one barrel at your face and instant death.

#

You went down intentionally or fall down?

#

Your suit has good protection against those vulnerability?

#

for combat, you want to join military or what?

#

I haven't seen one so far.

pseudo rivet
#

I do know where an RPG-7u is, but no clue where the Bulldog-6 can be found

clever verge
#

You're looking for a bulldog, right?

#

"The Bulldog 6 should be lying under a wall cabinet. (The player might need to fetch the Bulldog as soon as he gets to the underground floor, since it could vanish after he killed the poltergeists around due to some glitch possibly come from nearby anomalies.) For tips in obtaining the Red Forest RG-6, refer to this page. "

#

Uh-Oh

pseudo rivet
#

Darn

clever verge
#

Lucy you, there are two more in Limansk

#

"After you obtain the Grenade launcher, the RG-6 cannot be upgraded but can be repaired"

#

Yep, also that suit is good for chemical burn.

sudden mountain
#

Sorry to interrupt but; which is better, the Sniper Rifle or it’s shorter bullpup version (In SOC that is)

#

I have a Vintar stashed by the Army Warehouses because I’m farming 9x39 haha

clever verge
#

for SoC, people recommend the special sRT from the mercenaries at Army warehouse.

sudden mountain
#

I haven’t really seen that, time to run back from the Pripyat crossroad and massacre a camp.

clever verge
#

It's clamped at the bus stop inside the camp

#

being modified.

#

the special TRs is silenced with a scope attached to it.

#

Dude...

#

you want them to glow in the dark while they're at it?

#

Also, sometime the plants are the stashes itself.

#

What about the ones in the tree branches.

golden olive
#

How many days do you think you would survive in the zone IRL

clever verge
#

Some times the bushes are the stashes.

#

without proper hygiene a week.

#

i'd probably be a Chef for one of the Factions.

golden olive
#

I'm feeling a strong 5 days personally. I would spend most of it cowering in a base, then I would get brave and try to wander out and get eaten by a dog very quickly

clever verge
#

"It's dinner time, booooyys!"

#

Roadside Picnics makes it way to clear that you can suffer the consequences really bad.

sudden mountain
#

I found the sniper

#

It’s pretty neat

#

In Stalker at least you die.

sudden mountain
#

Also, I agree with the whole stash highlighting idea

I’m tired of standing around at some irradiated truck using all my antirads so I can get 20 hydroshock .45s

#

It always takes forever to find them because they blend in too well

clever verge
#

as the Zone provides, he punishes the greedy ones.

sudden mountain
#

I do enjoy quicksaving then running around the top of the garbage mounds waiting to die while my screen turns white

clever verge
#

Imagine paying a large amount of rubles for stash info just to find couple of bullets.

sudden mountain

Imagine not just killing freedom for stash coords

clever verge

Just get super drunk, and walk into it.

#

Once I was at that bandit fort near the dark valley and I drank all of the vodka in the armory.

#

It was like going through 20 cutscenes because it kept doing that spinny thing

clever verge
#

in the first days of Artifact hunting i did it at night 🌑 , full on Vodka food_vodka and an Echo detector detector_echo .

#

The ways of the rookie.

sudden mountain
#

That’s just scary bro

#

I’ve played through SoC so many times I have all of the anomaly locations memorized

clever verge
#

Forgot the trusty ol' bolt bolt .

sudden mountain
#

especially those stupid ones by the Dooty checkpoint

clever verge
#

Yep, in SoC you just trip on artifact, they're part of the Zone's population.

sudden mountain
#

I’ve left behind so many artefacts because I just don’t like them and know where to find them if I need them later

clever verge
#

Also the stats sucks balls harrrddd.

#

That one is coool.

sudden mountain
#

Tbh, I’m better friends with Mama’s beads than that guy who says “get out of here, stalker”

clever verge
#

also, prepare to camp for a whole day, fighting waves and waves of mutants.

#

Mama beads protect agains bullets.

sudden mountain
#

Just get Slime bro

clever verge
#

i was about to ask that when i saw the screenshot.

sudden mountain
#

And stack them

clever verge
#

are you on the period?

sudden mountain
#

Look, I don’t like bleeding

#

So I carry 40 medkits at all times

#

And 30 antirads

clever verge
#

Wooooow, that's a lot.

#

i carried 4 medkits each, 20 bandages and 20 anti-rads.

sudden mountain
#

I also use 2 meat chunks, and a moonlight

#

Basically, I only kill guys if I know the loot is good

#

Otherwise I’ll just run past them like I do when I go to Pripyat

#

Oh no.

#

Does anyone else hoard grenades?

clever verge
#

nah. i just leave them

#

Yes, i was lucky. it took me a while.

#

some time they fall into one of those many cracks.

#

if you activate the whirligig you might get them out of there.

#

but at the risk of getting them destroyed

#

What i got from there is a wrenched and a fireball

#

use the bolts

sudden mountain
#

So the new sniper is clapping cheeks, thanks for reminding me it was there

clever verge
#

my pleasure.

#

you could just stand in one place and wait for the artifact to go to you.

#

try carrying a Kolobok, so you don't loose too much health

#

if that happens, touch the center and pray for it to move.

#

Cool!

#

a Goldfish?!

#

I've not gotten one so far feels_bad_stalk

#

but instead i've gotten 2 gravi.

#

You got the lottery on that one.

#

You lucky i aint no bandit.

#

Good luck.

#

Careful there.

#

friggin snork nest

#

and they won't stop doing so.

#

Great, you can either take down the ambush, or avoid them by going to the "closed gate", that will open right after Strelok activate the bombs.

#

Sadly i killed the ambush, made a negative outcome for me, but recovered their trust after a night at the devilish camp.

#

eventually you will start to hate the AI in general

clever verge
#

Mutants, Stalkers or what?

#

Oh, that kind of AI

I like the fact that npcs are vulnerable, but not to a level where they just stand there

#

I've seen them shoot each other.

#

Yep

#

Oh no a blind dog is attacking my dear friend! Lemme help you with a buck shot.

Sadly Army main quest is short AF!

i was expecting to be more varied.

#

Yep, the only ones for the main quest are the Mercs.

#

Oh boy, have fun in Limansk

clever verge
#

Well, Army is there to fight Stalkers in the first place, superior orders.

#

and they're hoping to be rescued by their owns.

#

You go against the order of the generals, and you're sent to prison, i would guess.

#

Bet they're equally brainwashed as the monoliths.

hollow vapor
#

You're playing CS right?

#

Since you're a mercenary, that's why they are hostile toward you

clever verge
#

Yep.

#

I'm pretty sure military doesn't instantly open fire on stalkers

#

Though it's been a while since I've played stalker

clever verge
#

Merc, Loner, Dutier, Freedomer, Banditier.

#

Whatever.

#

Oh they do, they shot first ask question later.

hollow vapor
#

Well it's less costly if they just shoot you dead and take your stuff instead of worrying about you later

#

Nice, I loved raiding them, was a lot of fun

clever verge
#

You bunch of thieves, i try to earn my gears.

All i have it what's been gifted or sold to me.
The Sunrise suit from the Loners at Agroprom
The SPSA from the Dutier at Agroprom
The TRs from a Easter Egg stash sold by a Loner.

all i take is bandages, medkits and ammo. Their Gears they need them to face their demons in Hell.

I take back what I said earlier

#

I was gonna kill the #1 guy on the PDA who was a mercenary

#

So I decided to go to the dead city

#

Thought the warehouses were the safest way, but ended up blowing up 30 people at the entrance and declaring war on every other faction

#

Except the last two surviving bandits I just came across

#

Time to take over the city as a 3-man team

This is why I love stalker

lol did you try using antirad or sea urchin/crystal artifacts...

earnest pilot
#

which is better in CoP, impact negation or armor?

finite dragon
#

Armor imo

shrewd dagger
#

Definitely armor because impact negation is for protection against gravitational anomalies and Burer/Poltergeist telekinetic attacks, but gravitational anomalies are NEVER a threat in CoP since it makes the dumb decision to cordon all anomalies off and out of your way

#

and Burers/Poltergeist kinetic attacks are less of a threat than bullets

finite dragon
#

And not to mention firefights in COP involved a LOT more of lead

pseudo rivet
#

Impact Negation is against damage. The more Impact Negation, the less damage you receive.
Armor is about preventing bleeding damage. The more Armor, the less you will bleed.

static dagger
#

the more impact negation the less damage you inflict?

pseudo rivet
#

Thanks for that

#

Edited it

static dagger
#

smile_scar 👍

finite dragon
#

Bruh

#

Isnt Impact ingame the factor of damage dealt by gravitional anomalies

shrewd dagger
#

Yes, so if Crimson is correct then that means CoP just uses inconsistent conflicting terminology

#

impact damage type = gravitational anomalies, falls, object collision, burer telekinetic shotgun blast

pseudo rivet
#

I suppose that's all included into Impact Negation

finite dragon
#

Not burers

#

For some reason burers telekenisis is rupture

#

Lost Alpha 1.4005 be like

shrewd dagger
#

I wonder if that's different in various SoC mods ^

#

I'll do testing later in NLC 7 since I can achieve max rupture protection and also max impact protection

How can't you play stalker

feral verge
#

You want to play Call of Pripyat? Huh

robust forge
#

Play vanilla first mate

feral verge
#

I don't really know any standalone mods for it

robust forge
#

Start from ShoC

feral verge
#

Well, none that are actually similar to CoP

#

CS is alright

#

It has smart covers, which I hope they bring back

#

I loved it, especially because shooting renegades with the sawn off does all the funniest death animations

#

I played all three games vanilla and then only played standalone mods

#

And the mod I had the most autistic fun with was New Arsenal 5.1

#

The gunplay is really solid and the rest of the mod is just funny

#

And it uses the SoC storyline as a base, which is okay I guess

clever verge
#

AO3?

finite dragon
#

I never understood the hate for Clear Sky. It was my favorite S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Game.

#

Arsenal Overhaul 3 I think....

robust forge
#

I dislike AO3

#

It's just quantity over quality

finite dragon
#

STCS is better IMO.

robust forge
#

It is

finite dragon
#

STCS 2.6.3 REDUX ALSO.

#

STCS 2.6.3 + SRP +ATMOSFEAR 3

#

Vanilla CS is not even that buggy IMO. But the gunplay in CS is the worst.

finite dragon
#

warfare mode is really confusing but seeing freedom's base getting overwhelmed by an infinite stream of monolith bois was hella fun

are you ok

finite dragon

CoP sucks lol

#

Saying CS is bad is even worse

hollow vapor
#

@finite dragon Clear sky has like half of the whole map in my case

#

It is confusing, but damn it's entertaining

finite dragon
#

Warfare is bad

#

Clear Sky War mod for SoC / The Faction Wars 3.7 for CS / Faction Commander 2.5v for CS are better

robust forge
#

And I'm just here saying that Warfare mods are bad because of the player himself

#

Since we are always able to win against a camp on our own

#

That's what ruins fun in those mods for me

finite dragon
#

Thats why SoC's mod is better

#

AI there actually fights well

#

CS' one is fine too but CoP is just braindead

robust forge
#

I love CoP's AI

#

Two hours of CoP gave me so many keks

hollow vapor
#

Ah, yes.

#

I remember when it took that amnesiac 100 hours to lead me to that teleporter

earnest pilot
#

I remember shooting lads left and right in SoC. Anywhere I went I had to shoot either soldiers or bandits. Like holy poop that poop got super boring in the fricking agroprom military place shooting what seemed to be 20 to 30 soldiers and like 10 more on the other side of the fence and underground.

#

just to get some papers or whatever to that sidsidorovich

#

In CoP I killed more mutants than slav lads

#

I think

#

Probably because the military and the bandits are neutral, thank god

or, yknow

Vintar is my favorite gun probably. Their is one in the swamps near the bandit camp by the exit to agroprom between some trains and anomalies, its completely broken. Its supposedly Scars gun.

its just a normal vss

but it is scar's old one from the cutscene

Their is also a Veles detector near it in a hole from a fence in a cave.

I'll find a video of both.

i'll check it out.

@clever verge its radiactive near it. If you stay along you will avoid it.

It's a cut faction of Dark Stalkers, previously experimented on by the Secret Service

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Wiki
Sin

Sin is an extremely hostile cult that was intended to appear in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. They are hostile especially to the scientists, since they are competitors in searching the Zone...

#

Actually, that one about experimentation is from Lost Alpha

#

But we all know how Lost Alpha is

clever verge
#

Huh, now i now to whom attribute those impaled heads and sanctuaries around Army Warehouse.

pseudo rivet
#

Free Stalkers

#

Or maybe the Monolith itself, ||before they got brainwashed||

not many of the cut factions really got developed enough to know much about them

clever verge

Wait you play Shadow of Chernobyl and enter one of those labs. if you think those impaled heads are unnerving.

pseudo rivet

Sin is actually Canon, since they get mentioned by Ashot

CS has really interesting dialogue

SoC is far more creepier and scarier than Clear Sky.

in Clear Sky, the only place i got creeped out is Red Forest.

However, they all got killed

Useful for when you want to be prepared for a counter-attack

@clever verge you should play it with MMod

one of the best vanilla+ mods for half life2

check it

so we get cool combine variants of guns from hl1

oh, also

mmod is only about a 400mb download

Those anomalies were so annoying for my first play through.

For me it was, are you playing with SRP?

Its near impossible to stealth it in vanilla.

Yep.

WAY better.

#

Stealth in vanilla CS is near impossible.

Why was stealth in SHOC, but not in CS.

You can pick 2 options for stealth, one where you have to double crouch or the other that you can walk and mildly crouch near enemies.
