They sit around the monument and while sharing their positives thoughts on the Rock they stitch themselves some patches.
also there's a high probability they kidnap some babushkas from time to times.

Or at least he should
After you finish the Digger's quest you're left with basically endgame weapon
eternal hull
he should? well there are no bandits and hes out to kill me

HAHAHA nvm there is a bandit
turns out he just almost always kills him first
i reloaded like 6 times because of confusion and just now the bandit actually managed to kill him
but they killed each other simultainously lol

yeah, the PKM is yours
it's faster than normal one

Ah, I'm not that fond off snipers
although I carry a L113 loaded with .308 lapua magnum just in case
the .50 cals are too heavy
eternal hull
its not a sniper, its a full auto assault rifle
but i also carry the AWM, also an awesome gun
tbh i see myself mostly using snipers because the engagement distances are just so god damn ridiculous
like get this:
the distance at which they start shooting is HIGHER than the distance at which the game registers that they need to SPAWN

thats so fricking stupid, i dont know what the mod creators thought

either the NPC died or the stuff I had to get just doesn't spawn

i just have to somehow get past

I had to replay ShoC 2 times because it broke
robust forge
no, it's the "fix one thing, break 100 other things"
Like they did it with one of the most recent updates to OGSR
on one side
they fixed some stuff regarding the HUD and balance
on the other they broke the UI completely
5.45 had the icon of upgraded m1911
my suit was a thin bar
Saiga was many textures in one
let me find it
eternal hull
i picked up a 40mm grenade
turns out it was the top right part of a suit texture
and it had no name and attributes
ok then ogsr
robust forge
Yeah, that happened
Also when they fixed the HUD they broke the UI
it used to be almost misery-like with the health being even less visible
now it looks like something between OG ShoC and LA, but with the bars misalligned and with a big gap between two of them
but hey, the mod is actually fun imo
I like it
it rubs my nostalgia the right way
Because it just feels like something naturally expanding upon ShoC
eternal hull
especially a fan of the "minimalist" hud
oh yeah its minimalist, theres no useful info at all
robust forge
I like minimalist HUD for couple reasons, but the ShoC HUD is ok
imo ShoC had the best hud out of the three games
eternal hull
the minimalist hud is utter garbage
there is literally no information at all besides how much health i have
oh yeah IRL i would also have to look into my backpack to see how im mentally feeling
relatable
robust forge
I do that with my bank account
We'll see
I mean
GSC really has a hard job creating S2 now
it had great games before it
the community is divided as hell
so you can't satisfy everyone
they have to repair the reputation
stand up to 4A's standarts if they want some spotlight
which means that they'll need to cater to casual audience which will make hardcore audience go mad
There is literally no way for this game to be good
I just hope for it to be the best it can be
it isn't
you're a part of hardcore audience since you're interested in stalker as stalker not as another game on your cool games list
as casual I mean the really casual players
you know, play anything that gets a bit popular
yeah
GSC now has to fuel the casuals need to consume
they can't just make a niche game
not even that
it's hard to dumb down your game while pleasing the hardcore fans
Because to be consoomed, the game has to be easy
like FC5
it plays itself
open lintel
it really does
robust forge
And if Sergyi wants his Pepsi, he'll have to make the game easy to consume
because without bandwagonny consumption, it won't bring enough profit
with stalker it would be like creating two different games
because the story has to change aswell
open lintel
as long as we can have module style mods (ie equip multiple at a time) then that will easily fix the issue
ofc, you don't want to have to rely on that

my motto is just rush behind enemy lines, find something to hide behind, and kill everyone from behind instead of attack from the front
can be risky but if used in the right locations you can save many medkits and alot of ammo
doesn't matter if they spot you, you might have to use a few medkits rushing through, but imo it's better than taking fire from the front and using even more medkits
although this only works in certain locations
not all of them
for example the way to the sarcophagus
once I'm in the sarcophagus fortress, I just rush along the walls towards the entrance to the sarcophagus, and camp in the trains if i want to take everyone out
they're such good cover, only 1 way in aswell
good luck when you reach that part, I'm sure rushing through includes having a big of luck too
bit*
there should be an electric anomaly in the sarcophagus fortress, too
so free artifacts as well
I dont know, I haven't played soc in ages
this is just all coming from memory
but im guessing if you arrive at day,
by the time you manage to shut down the sarcophagus it will be nighttime
because after you shut it down, about 40 or so monolith spawn
so you have to fight your way through the sarcophagus
to exit
I think a few bloodsuckers too, although I'm not sure if thats upon entering or exiting
yeah, bring a ton of ammo with you
I ended up running out and thrn6 using aks dropped from monolith
then*
wasn't fun
where are you at right now in the story?
you going for true ending?
you will end up going down the other path anyway, so why hurry?
you will save a bunch of time by not going down the other way

a tip for you: if you're friendly with them, duty or the mercs have the best equipment, so do missions for them to get their rep up for them to sell you better weapons

Wound up all the way in Zaton early on, still rocking basic gear and shoddy firearms. Got some jobs done, killed some monolith guys and went south wearing the really tanky exoskeleton. Spawned in Yanov, right by 4 monolith guys.

ekho, OGSR is a good one, talk to jester or daizenzetsu on here about getting the right version
Anomaly is good also if you like more harder mods with alot of new guns, armor, items.
Misery is kinda like a downgrade of anomaly, entirely for CoP. It's not the greatest of mods but it's definetly fun for your first time. It's very very hard.
finite dragon
when it comes to the base game I think the only thing I had a problem with was the shooting.
static dagger
pretty much all of those mods solve that problem, but misery and anomaly have better shooting and weapon mechanics imo
eternal hull
i respectfully disagree about ogsr
static dagger
OGSR is more like a complete overwrite of the story and expansion pack
finite dragon
oh I wouldn't want that then
eternal hull
althought i have to admit the gunplay of ogsr is good
static dagger
anomaly has its own storyline aswell, but misery is just CoP but wayyy harder and with way more items, plus almost complete overhaul of weapon graphics
keep in mind that misery is a downgrade of anomaly in terms of both gunplay and everything else, including the difficulty
finite dragon
there has to be a mod that just improves the weapons, no?
eternal hull
definetely gunslinger
static dagger
agreed
eternal hull
just wish it was more polished when it comes to the weapon mods
static dagger
arsenal introduces a shite ton weapons
eternal hull
as ive said earlier, the mac 10 is just one example, i literally cant put any mods at all on it
static dagger
gunslinger improves on the existing ones and adds a couple extra
eternal hull
yeah but have you seen the animations???
its comparable to tarkov honestly
and the sounds
static dagger
in terms of improvement, gunslinger is 100% better,
in terms of content, arsenal is better
the Mac 10 huh?
you should atleast be able to put on a silencer on it
apparently you cant
rip
eternal hull
yep
no customization at all, for many other weapons too
what do you mean i cant put a nato foregrip on my ar 15 IT LITERALLY HAS A PICATINNY RAIL RIGHT THERE I CAN SEE IT
but no
nevermind the fact you can put grenade launchers on that rail
finite dragon
eternal hull
nah lol, just thought it would up the handling skill or something
i just like going tacticool with mods
finite dragon
GSC BTFO
eternal hull
and i mean... you can put a NATO GRIP on aks but not on nato weapons
alright then
hidden cape
It helps for being able to drive your firearm or pull it in against your shoulder, but I wouldn't see that transferring to gameplay
static dagger
circumcised people
eternal hull
can you kill the fire poltergeist in x18 even??
i shot 5 mags and two grenades at it and then he just cooks me to a crisp
hidden cape
Yeah, you can kill the pyrogeist. You have to in order for the door to unlock.
And, heat shields and gloves exist for a reason when dealing with high volume shooting.
eternal hull
are you sure you can kill him????
ive thrown 14 grenades into the room
shot 300 rounds with my mp
200 with my assault rifle
and shot 5 40mm grenades at it
and yeah the damn door wont open although i have the code for it
and i also shot my RPG-7 at it
hidden cape
I've killed him every time. Like killing a poltergeist.
Have to hit that one sweet spot in the center of the anomaly. Are you aiming down your sights when firing?
eternal hull
i cant see a god damn thing
i have this stupid blue filter
and it doesnt help that due to graphial glitches he just disappears every few seconds
half the time i dont even know where in the room he is
and im supposed to accuratly hit him?
hidden cape
What I found helped me kill him, besides being able to see him, was just using the crosshair and waiting for it to light up red.
eternal hull
thats weird it doesnt light up red for me
were talking about the pyrogeist right?
the one in the room with a lot of boxes
hidden cape
Huh. Yeah, the one in x18 that spawns the burners.
hidden cape
May be some glitch with your game files? I don't know, honestly.
finite dragon
he doesnt have a saiga or a spas-12 art this point
finite dragon
git gud
hidden cape
Spas-12 and A/C 96/2 was the first two firearms I carried in CoC. Been using an AK 74M and an MP5 for a lot of work in Anomaly.
eternal hull
for gods sake a single 40mm grenade could take down an entire mil mi 28
and youre telling me that 12 of them cant kill a god damn pyrogeist
hidden cape
Good for your buns and thighs.
The grenade will deal the damage, if it actually hits.
eternal hull
that means 3 should have hit
i still cant see anything
the screen is just blue and his glow fills half my screen
very funny
i threw the entire us arsenal of bombs into that room, dont you tell me my aim is the problem
hidden cape
By not having one
finite dragon
@eternal hull 40mm grenades in OGSR have a more realistic blast radius so shooting one into a room wont solve all your problems
eternal hull
no not in ogsr, the engagement distances are always 2 km so i figured carrying a shotgun is no use
finite dragon
its not like vanilla where they explode in the size of c4
finite dragon
how do you not carry a shotgun but carry and rpg and 15 grenades
eternal hull
because i found it
finite dragon
just git gud and run at them
eternal hull
the rpg is literally in the same building
finite dragon
its not like polters and pyrogeists are that dangerous
eternal hull
ill check barkeepers brother, hes in the bandit camp maybe he has a shotgun
hes blocking the god damn door, daizentrues
eternal hull
why do i even bother
eternal hull
i quote sarcof: "Yeah, you can kill the pyrogeist. You have to in order for the door to unlock."
eternal hull
oh for gods sake we were talking about different doors
i mean the first door, i found a pda that said the code was 1234
but when i enter it nothing happens
eternal hull
bruh
hidden cape
9254 is the second one.
Save right before you put it in. Something can block the door from opening the whole way and you can't close it.
eternal hull
weird i could swear i killed the first pyrogeist in my vnailla playthrough
hidden cape
Had that happen to me yesterday.
finite dragon
there's 6 documents to get though btyw
in OGSR
and aklso the 2nd door code isnt 9254
its 9524
eternal hull
bruh, i was wondering why my companions were invisible, turns out they teleported to the floor below somehow
the burers and poltergeists are already dead lmao
hidden cape
The only pyrogeist I know of in x18 is right before the second door. Supposed to be on the otherside in my first playthrough.
finite dragon
the pyrogiest is in the final room where you get the docs in vanilla soc
eternal hull
do you know the room with a bunch of crates on the floor of the very first door?
is that a pyrogeist?
finite dragon
a pyrogeist = poltergeist that shoots fire
eternal hull
yes i know
but the room also has a firey orb flying around
who burns you to death
but he doesnt spawn any fire fountains
finite dragon
thats just a fireball anomaly
eternal hull
thats a thing???
finite dragon
yes
finite dragon
have you played the original games?
eternal hull
yeah but its been very long
finite dragon
maybe you should have jumped into the original soc first to get a refresher
eternal hull
cant be bothered
finite dragon
well overhaul mods arent meant to replace the original games
if you play the original soc and then jump right into OGSR most of your knowledge can carry over
but if you barely remember anything itll be pretty jarring
eternal hull
well to be honest theres no difference in my problem in ogsr and soc
in soc the same thing could have happened
hidden cape
Because you're speshul
Most games aren't about the random guy who's not special, because they don't do anything special
eternal hull
man im sure the pseudogiant would have been a challenge werent it for my companion with a minigun
eternal hull
right
eternal hull
what a circlejerk
hidden cape
Every time I find a pseudogiant, they're hung up on something so I use 3 grenades, tops.
And, the marked one is especially special
eternal hull
everything in clear sky is a challenge
clear sky is me throwing the us arsenal into the room, except youre the room
static dagger
wait do people really have difficulties with stalker games?
eternal hull
how about you get down from your high horse
getting assblasted by literally 15 grenades has nothing to do with a lack of skill
everytime i died in clear sky there were like 5 grenade markers on my screen
hidden cape
Don't be an elitist prick. No one likes elitist pricks.
eternal hull
yeah
hidden cape
Except elitist pricks.
static dagger
hidden cape
It's meant to be. That's the attraction.
finite dragon
stalker isn't difficult for the sole reason the game is build around getting infinite chances whenever you want
eternal hull
that doesnt make it not difficult lmao
finite dragon
quicksaving makes the game just a retryfest
eternal hull
then its just difficult but you have a lot of chances
finite dragon
and most mutants can be avoided by just standing on a rock
eternal hull
and reloading 15 times is no fun
finite dragon
and the gunplay is difficult because its bad
finite dragon
its more about animations and models + the terrible balance
eternal hull
yeah and when the gunplay is good (ogsr) youre getting sniped from out side the render range
eternal hull
not imo
hidden cape
Haven't had much issue with the gunplay.
eternal hull
the enemy is literally in your sight yet you miss, like wtf
hidden cape
Quick saving means you get to retry the same difficult area.
finite dragon
and the maps are too small for sniping
the build maps are the only maps made for sniping
static dagger
never got why your bullet could go 5 centimeters in any direction if your weapon isn't upgraded
finite dragon
the only map long enough i can think of for sniping is maaayybee dark valley
eternal hull
wtf
hidden cape
stalker isn't difficult for the sole reason the game is build around getting infinite chances whenever you want
@finite dragon
eternal hull
i meant in the mod jesus
eternal hull
in ogsr im running around with a 50cal its a lot of fun
finite dragon
because snipers are super strong
eternal hull
idk
finite dragon
although the models and animations are arguably worse in the builds and build mods they unrionically have better gunplay
because firearms are much more responsive and powerful
static dagger
Legion, Amnesia, what do you have trouble with that makes it difficult?
finite dragon
point blanking a controller shooting both barrels of a shotgun WILL kill it
most soldiers dont survive a short burst from a rifle
yes
eternal hull
im just having difficulty with ogsr and clear sky honestly
eternal hull
soc and cop are okay games difficulty wise, hell even easy tbh
finite dragon
im comparing the build mod gunplay to vanilla
eternal hull
lol
finite dragon
and saying why the gunplay in builds is better
static dagger
idk, I always tend to shoot the head of my enemies so I never have the 200 bullet to kill an enemy problem
finite dragon
LETS PLAYYY
CATCH A GRENAAAADE
stalker is really iffy about headshot detection
i once shot kuznetsov in the face with 5.45 and he survived
point blank too
static dagger
I guess playing other competitive multiplayer games helped me with that
finite dragon
<---skull made of steel
hidden cape
Depends on what you enjoy.
static dagger
