I have no doubt the other ones are great, I don't see why I wouldn't like them considering I'm loving Shadow of Chernobyl.
tired anvil
Imo they all stand their ground
sturdy jolt
Still amusing, how military instead of protecting their ecologists instead shoot stalkers, who are then hired by ecologists for doing the job of the military. 🤦♂️
@hazy raven also not supported by lore. Stalkers hired by ecos are, first, a rare sight (Ozersky tells you that). Second, they get an official pass to the Zone and are not shot by military.
pseudo rivet
Why wouldn't you like the others, though?

Long story short, biggest waste of time ever

Tfw ive been playing most of the game wearing the sunrise suit and then get the fully upgraded exoskeleton and i barely get hurt

Yeah agreed Edillon, CS:GO skins is a pretty big waste

So how far did you actually get in CS lmao
pseudo rivet
Depends on the commander and the contact
still ridge
Well I think I made it out of cordon
rain stone
I am not sure, I had a friend that told me last year that the other STALKER games are Inferior to Shadow of Chernobyl. Though. . . I digress. Why am I taking advice from a person who has 200+ hours in Hunie Pop and Nekopara Vol. 0, 1 and 2?
hazy raven
@sturdy jolt Player in SOC gets still attacked by military even when he helps ecologists. They even warn him after calling military to clean Yantar after turning off Miracle machine to get out of there to not be shot. So not true.
still ridge
I don’t recall if I made it to agropom
hybrid seal
I think cs woulda been better if the faction wars things wasnt so present
pseudo rivet
I mean, a lot of the equipment you see in the Zone is there thanks to Sidorovich having a deal with the commander at the army outpost
exotic birch
What if the term stalker originated from the first people who entered the zone were actual stalkers back in the world so they just adopted it as a nickname
delicate chasm
Stalkers work for ecologists "under the table", because they do work that the ecos are supposed to do, with sample collection and such.
hybrid seal
Bah its because of a movie
pseudo rivet
But they still got orders to kill other Stalkers

Not saying it’s bad, but I understand why people are skeptical

Not a game

I mean, if there are rumors of a man who took a Scarlet Flower outside the Zone and got a harem of hundreds of girls, I doubt they'd want to go into the Zone
@pseudo rivet he wanted to get his crush tho, not hundreds of girls.

¯_(ツ)_/¯
tired anvil
CoC is a mod so nah
exotic birch
It’s a game If I say so
rain stone
@exotic birch Yes, he found out that there's a patch online that uncensors all of the lewd scenes in Hunie Pop and replayed the whole game again.
still ridge
I miss the CoP vanilla weapons
hazy raven
I usually instead install some mod for SOC or COP and reading information about how CS was messed up with bugs and basically dumbed down everything which made SOC great (especially seeing all enemies on map), I loose interest.
pseudo rivet
he wanted to get his crush tho, not hundreds of girls.
True, but this guy also got mentioned in SoC around the Garbage, saying he's got a whole lot of girls now

@sturdy jolt Player in SOC gets still attacked by military even when he helps ecologists. They even warn him after calling military to clean Yantar after turning off Miracle machine to get out of there to not be shot. So not true.

“CS too hard”
Cs is the easiest atleast for me

You're not wrong.

I watched the IGN review from 2011, the review defines everything about CS on the release date

You're just trying to make a connection between not connected things.

Before the emission hits, I think he got soft locked
hybrid seal
I think the only reason cop is hard is bec of the damned burers
pseudo rivet
Of course, they didn't mention the Scarlet Flower, but what else would it be?
hazy raven
I found COP being the easiest game. At least when compared with SOC.
rain stone
Is it just me, or does anyone else automatically pick the hardest difficulty when playing a new game?
remote plume
Cop is hard because of misery
tired anvil
CoP has like 2 harder locations but that's about it
still ridge
The burer room with 4 burers
hazy raven
Nope. I played rookie, now I play Stalker.
still ridge
Play in master
hazy raven
In SOC it doesn´t matter, in COP it makes game easier. Especially Rookie.
pseudo rivet
At this point, going Master is not a joke anymore, but a tradition
still ridge
It’s the easiest tbh
hazy raven
Not true, that was proven to be false.
tired anvil
hybrid seal
You know, after finishing soc you really feel like an expert so effectively the later games become easy
tired anvil
It's also pinned here
hazy raven
Especially after surviving true ending of ||refusing C-Con.||
delicate chasm
You know, after finishing soc you really feel like an expert so effectively the later games become easy
@hybrid seal that can't objectively be true because of reworked economics for a new player
SoC is the easiest because the resources are abundant
rain stone
I always pick the hardest difficulty when playing a new game, just because I like the challenge right off the bat whilst not knowing what the hell I'm doing.
hybrid seal
But you know your job, you just have to learn the new stuff
delicate chasm
And you have nothing to spend money on
exotic birch
Yeah I always found it interesting how some people wanted to get a damage increase mod because they didn’t know how difficulty worked.
hazy raven
In SOC you can get one shot lots of times. Regardless of difficulty. And you can´t upgrade, nor repair stuff.
tired anvil
I think you would love CS, Medic
hazy raven
So in core gameplay, it´s much harder than COP, where you don´t get one-shot much.
pseudo rivet
CS is pretty dang challenging
sturdy jolt
I was told not to buy the other STALKER games because Shadow of Chernobyl is pretty much going to be the only one I like and I'll find a lot to be desired with the installments after it.
@rain stone mods suck, replay vanilla trilogy for eternity.
pseudo rivet
Great
hazy raven
Or play SOC again, with OGSE, for expanded experience.
hazy raven
For me vanilla SOC feels very shallow. As we can´t even repair stuff. But it´s fixed by ZRP mod though. Also side quests and content outside of main quests is broken.
pseudo rivet
Hey @sturdy jolt, do you perhaps have a file with all the news dialogue of SoC?
exotic birch
Yeah. Some people for some reason say you should always mod Stalker before playing It. I never got that. The games always worked for me.
hazy raven
And side quests are just generic ones.

It should be in there

tired anvil
Wait Medic, how far are you into SoC?
pseudo rivet
It do B
||When you arrive at either Agroprom or Rostok, you see blood and bones littered everyone. Something you normally don't see anywhere, except for Duty occupied locations. As such, this means that many locations where Duty has settled are highly dangerous. Of course, it is even proven to be exactly that. Once Duty arrives somewhere for their "Holy Crusade", the Zone sends waves of Mutants who kill anything on its way and spawns flocks of Anomalies in the area. This, of course, also means that the Free Stalkers, those who Duty swore by oath to protect, are brought in danger. Also, did you ever notice Duty trying to help the Free Stalkers who are working for them? Meanwhile, those Free Stalkers are getting attacked by Bandits and Mutants from all sides. Those who Duty swore to protect and those who were working for Duty are left on their own to die. We know how the Mutants are a threat at Agroprom, but what about Rostok? Imagine being a Rookie making it to Rostok for the first time - and then? A whole pack of blind dogs start running after you, aggravated due to Duty's doings. Speaking of which, when you need to go to Rostok, it is mentioned how only people to their choosing are allowed inside, along with a fee they have to pay. That means that many aren't even able to go towards the 100 Rads Bar or even going to the North. But the worst thing they've done is sending the Marked One on a mission to kill a camp full of Free Stalkers. Funnily enough, this is exactly the same area as the Free Stalker base Duty failed to protect. Apparently, they're okay with breaking their own oath.
From bringing innocents into danger, to breaking their own oath, Duty is just not the good guys many see them as.||

Even sidor tries to send you to jupiter when you literally just started. he is indirectly trying to kill you lol

oh boi, remember, clear sky, means alot of gunfights
tired anvil
So starting with Clear Sky
rain stone
That way I understand what is going on.
dawn whale
be ready for that
tired anvil
Imo it's better to start with SoC
Complete SoC, then play CS which takes events before SoC
dawn whale
you should start with soc always
exotic birch
Play them in release order
dawn whale
wich also makes it easier to adapt to the games
tired anvil
Yeah that's sort of better tbh
hushed current
The order I recommend is shadow of Chernobyl clear sky call of Pripyat
tired anvil
Yeah since some mechanics change or got added
dawn whale
like in clear sky, they change artifacts and add detectors
and on cop they add 4 quickslots

I like to play games on Ironman mode, you die, you have to restart the game. I haven't died that many times on Shadow of Chernobyl on Master mode, so I don't know what to expect from the other games.

do enemy npcs bleed or does that apply to the player only by the way?

don't you have to use Psy-blocks for that? according to the game loading tips

You won't block a Controller the first time you encounter one

No, I did not. I died my first time.

I really loved the STALKER games because they really understand the meaning of horror. Horror games aren't just jump scares and spooky ghosts. Horror is filled with uncertainty and fear of the unknown. I feel like they really understood that, you feel your adrenaline pump when you first run into things like Bloodsuckers and Controllers for the first time.

My biggest recommendation when you play CoP is to do all the side quests

||Think he gets shot if you send him to Freedom||

Yep, but if you tell the truth to the betrayed people at Zaton, you won´t see what happened to him.
When you come back to Jupiter, to Yanov, he just isn´t there.
Probably because was taken care of meanwhile. ||And you´ll get his stuff as part of an achievement.||

Duty probably detained him for “interrogation”
hazy raven
I forgot what Duty do if played tells them the truth.

Well, they aren´t in all-out-war. For example in SOC, their leader doesn´t support part of the Dutiers at Army Warehouses plotting an attack against Freedom.
Even tells you to not help them.

Things I learned my first time around playing STALKER.
-Do not touch the forbidden wavy light. Those are called "anomalies".
-"Oh man, somebody needs to call the electrician, they have a serious electrical problem here. Oh, those are anomalies too? Oh okay."
-"This underpass is on fire. Oh god, don't walk through that please. Task Failed God damn it."
-"Hey look, some more friendlies. AH NU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE! *Gunshots* Those are not friendlies."
-"Aww! Look at the cute dog! *Starts charging me* I'm sorry, Lassie." Start loading my Double-barreled.
-"Man, there sure is a lot of dead bodies in here. Hears footsteps Oh god. What the hell is it now?"

Lassie is a pseudo dog

Noah's dog is a Pseudodog

Well, of course not

Also it´s interesting that SOC doesn´t show relationship with mutants at crosshair (it stays white), but COP suddenly does. 🤔

I was thinking of that one movie "Lassie".

I just call dogs I don't know Lassie. That's hilarious that there's a Pseudodog named "Lassie".

I love games where the night time is pitch black, makes you feel uneasy at just about every ambient sound that usually plays.
finite dragon
don't blame me. stuff is expensive
pseudo rivet
Even just as bright as daytime itself
hazy raven
Yep. Dark nights were implemented in either CS or COP. OGSE fixes that issue though... Though it does opposite thing - makes even days too dark when clouded..
pseudo rivet
Like, literally just like cloudy day during the night
finite dragon
because some idiot thought it was a good idea to choose survivalist and hard mode at the first time playing the game

Heya

Though that isn´t just SOC problem, tons of games today have too bright nights. Though it´s good that GSC decided to make dark nights in addons.
And hi.
pseudo rivet
Da-da
hazy raven
Also in COP there is one annoying NPC - Hermann Ecologist. Wanders around even when you are trying to sell him items, which automatically ends the trade screen mid trading.
pseudo rivet
CS and CoP nights are alright
Although, after my recent playthrough through CoP, nights weren't so dark at all
Maybe it's something in my settings that causes this
hazy raven
Did you play vanilla or Atmosfear? Because in Atmosfearwe can choose how bright nights we want to have. And default option is slightly bright ones.
rain stone
I think, because my nights in Shadow of Chernobyl are dark as hell.

Lucky you. Though did you use mods or play vanilla game?

Vanilla.

I never had dark nights in vanilla. Maybe the game has too bright brightness in settings default? 🤔

It's likely just my settings

if stalker 2 is made i wish the devs add a way to break knee caps. so you can trade with characters that don't stop when you trade with them
hazy raven
Just make that NPC stops walking when you talk with him (unless he is attacked by enemies), like 99,9% of npcs do it. Aside of Hermann.
It would make sense that he is scientists (and probably GSC made it on purpose) so he doesn´t want to stop with his thinking and research, but then the trade screen needs to not auto close when he gets too far.

||The Monolith was formerly a group who believed in a divine alien crystal, all the way in the center of the Zone. One day, they decided to gather together at the Army Warehouses and go to the center, all at once. However, a few weeks later, stalkers with the same uniforms came from the other side. The Brain Scorcher stripped the unnecessary emotions from their minds and made them fiercely loyal towards the Monolith||
