There are too many people who play Tarkov and lack basic communication skills
finite dragon
i played alone and i took out 3 out of 4 men squad
always used ak 101 cuz i love that gun
never failed me in fights
only thing gun lacking is 60 rounder meg
and now 60 rounder meg is nerfed XD
pseudo yoke
The only thing I really like about Tarkov is knowing I made a guy really really mad
when I kill him
Oh and bullying new players

Another issue I have with Tarkov
Is that it has a lot of potential to draw in the same "creative" crowd as Stalker or Metro or other stuff
But due to the fact that Nikita is a hack, the best we get is Reticulon or streamers shilling their mediocre youtube channels

It's just that it looks so good that it could well be a good singleplayer mod/game

probably freedom, but duty actually does something good by killing mutants
Freedom just sits there and does nothing
hushed aurora
They hold the barrier and actually help with researching the Zone
hushed aurora
¯_(ツ)_/¯
As time passes they both become crap
But i didn't see anything saying they don't do those things anymore
shadow drift
and honestly the only reason they protect the barrier is because their base is like right there next to it
if duty settled near the barrier they would protect it too
hushed aurora
Duty spreads rumours that they protect the barrier despite they don't

bandits are kind of based i'll be honest
morons in tracksuits and weak weapons are against the entire world and somehow not only survive, but thrive
yeah that's kind of the point
why bother risking your life in an anomaly hunting artifacts when there's people doing that for you arleady
and they are LONERS
so they walk around alone
i just dont get why they bother attacking anyone else

The Security Service of Ukraine is calling all right-minded and loyal citizens to collaborate with the authorities. Report all known cases of stalking! Do not let the looters hide behind your backs! They bring radioactive, unidentified items from the Zone that are highly dangerous for human health and life! Only with your help can we eliminate this hideous phenomenon! Do not put your lives and the lives of your families at risk for the sake of dubious profit!

anyway,waht do you have to say about the FPS tho
tired anvil
FPS wise, I've completed CS multiple times with FPS issues only once when for some reason my GPU fan was turned off
But that's not the games fault
So as far as the game goes, completed multiple times with 0 issues

yhea,but it really is strange bc both SoC and CoP don't have the problem,it confuses me
and if I have the option for consitent fps on higher fidelity I'll chose that option
tired anvil
Well they use different versions of the engine
CoP uses X-Ray 1.6, CS uses X-Ray 1.5 and I can't recall SoC
tired anvil
It's different, not exactly unoptimized
I just know that one of the lighting features is a bit broken
The max one, volumetric lighting is the name of it I believe

What does "based" mean exactly?
past shuttle
bandits are kind of based i'll be honest
Like in this example, I keep seeing this being used everywhere
shadow drift
Based = action/opinion that usually doesn't make much sense or goes against the usual set of things, but is "cool and correct" regardless of that
finite dragon
shadow
shadow drift
honestly? mostly similar things
there is a storyline and the world is dangerous
you make your way through it and try to not die, slowly getting better equipment to better deal with threats the Zone throws at you

ah so its singleplayer
shadow drift
yep
hazy helm
there is a multiplayer

Deathmatch 😎
hazy helm
shadow
in shadow of chernobyl imagine a interely moving world that moves without you,the world is indiferent to you,doesn't care if you die or live it will continue,the game is a slow burn of atmosphere that results in great moment where youre genuinely terrified of the unknown
at least for me
finite dragon
whats the best stalker game
shadow drift
depends on who you ask
finite dragon
what do u think
shadow drift
but it's definetly NOT clear sky
hazy helm
but it's definetly NOT clear sky
tell that to gaj
finite dragon
that would have been the cheapest to get
shadow drift
lmao i wonder why
hazy helm
whats the best stalker game
the best is SoC in my opinion
CS isn't bad man
bt CoP is the worst from the sseries
shadow drift
not saying it's bad, but it's not the best
hazy helm
def
shadow drift
by far
shadow drift
nahhh call of pripyat is probably my fav tbh
but it's a big draw between it and soc
hazy helm
it takes all the atmosphere out fof the game man
shadow drift
it has it's own atmosphere
shadow drift
any one of the games
shadow drift
it's not really a city setting most of the time
hazy helm
it has it's own atmosphere
that atmosphere doesn't equate and is inferior to its predecessors,it's more scipted
hazy helm
it's a good gmae just not the best stalker by far
shadow drift
if you argue gameplay mechanics, go wild and tear
but atmosphere is something for each person
do you dislike any of the mechanics in cop?
hazy helm
not really,I quite like that snorks had a buff and that there is hotkeys but it all seems quite easy
ngl
shadow drift
maybe it's a bit easy for someone who has already played stalker before, but it can be a challenge for an unprepared person
hazy helm
maybe,but my first stalker wass SOC so
shadow drift

isn't that just waht the zone is?stalkers are handy man almost
finite dragon
i got myself shadow
hazy helm
they dont need the story of the quests just the money
shadow drift
???
you're a living player
if you dont have proper context for the stuff you do then it's less interesting to do
and it's not always just about the money
hazy helm
stalkers are the for only one reason,the money and profit they can get,most of the loners,asking question in the zone is hoping to get killed
amd I dont really need context when the gameplay atmosphere is taht damn good
finite dragon
aight downnloaded it time to see what it is
hazy helm
aight downnloaded it time to see what it is
that fast?holy hell
shadow drift
let me state a basic example
in cop you get the "get the glowing artifact" quest from the start right? it's one of the first ones
||but on your way out, you get stopped by a stalker that begs you to give him the artifact to save his dying friend
you can either give it away or keep it
if you refuse, you get ambushed by him and 2 more people and forced to hand it over or fight it out
if you give it away he later just sells it||
in SOC this quest would be just
get artifact
go back
sell
which quest is more interesting to do
hazy helm
let me state a basic example
in cop you get the "get the glowing artifact" quest...
maybe you're more concerned with scripted quests than a system that creates stories reliant on the A-Life system
it's not the quest thats the grab,its the way to the quest
toxic vector
Radom rifle is crap
shadow drift
it's just the things that happen at the quest site that matter and have interesting things
and a-life is still ther
mutants still roam around, and so do stalkers
hazy helm
you still make your way to the quest
yhea,but the tone of the atmosphere for me is thrown way off,and it doesn't have replay value really,it's the same quest always with the same context,I can have the same quest on SoC and still do it but on CoP I can't,and there are quest with context on SoC,remember getting the lost rifle?
shadow drift
so again, atmosphere is subjective and we're arguing about specific mechanics
does it matter if the same quest has the same context if it has not only different outcomes but the thing that you DO like about the quests (making your way to them isnt always the same because if a-life) is still a factor?
hell, you can ignore the context
you can just shoot the stalker at the previously described quest instantly
and ignore the story
hazy helm
so again, atmosphere is subjective and we're arguing about specific mechanics
d...
A-Life makes it good but it doesn't really mean anything when the game is that easy and the atmosphere doesn't hold,the mehcanics are being held back for me really,when was stalker ever about choice tho?
shadow drift
how is the same quest with the same reward with little to no context has more replay value than the stuff i desctibed above?
hazy helm
conversation choice I mean
shadow drift
it doesnt have to be
hazy helm
how is the same quest with the same reward with little to no context has more re...
your brain will always fill in the gaps for me tbh
I can create more and more stuff about it and I think thats why I like SoC more
shadow drift
you can just shoot your way out of problems like soc
it's just that you have an OPTION to experience things a different way if you want them to
you can create the same amount of stuff, the a-life system didnt go away
there is no reason to argue that cop has worse quest mechanics than SOC when it's the same, but with more context for those who want it
which can be ignored
hazy helm
you can just shoot your way out of problems like soc
it's just that you have an ...
it's cute that they give you an option that ultimately is useless but that doesn't warrant my applause really,it's just flavour,it's like you don't know that you can join freedom on SoC and f yourself
shadow drift
you said you dont like quest mechanics of cop
cop has the same quest mechanics, but has optional ways to do them in different ways
i dont get that
hazy helm
you said you dont like quest mechanics of cop
cop has the same quest mechanics,...
I never said I didn't like them,theyre the same
it just seems to have a bigger fall net
and theyre p easy
shadow drift
well, going back to the initial thing i said
what mechanics DO you dislike then in cop?
hazy helm
what mechanics DO you dislike then in cop?
none really,it's the execution
shadow drift
elaborate?
hazy helm
why does not thinking its the best equeate to bad mechanics?like I said,I think the games is easier and mroe boring,the atmosphere is off and I don't care for useless option,the more personal stories are fun and the stuff that you can find like the companions of cardan is a top def but it looks more cinematic,which isn't a bad thing just not to my taste and I don't think it's waht stalker should turn into,CoP is a need tho,it ties lose ends with strelok and gives the army and the actions outside the zone more relevance,it would be quite boring if all that was happening outside the zone didn't react to waht is happening inside
@shadow drift it's a good game,just not waht I wanted from a stalker game
shadow drift
so the only issues you have are purely subjective?
shadow drift
aight suit yourself then
finite dragon
so
this game is literally resident evil 4 style
i love it
and it feels rly good
i gotta change the keybinds for the crouch tho
like the crouch crouch
shadow drift
whicn one did you get again?
shadow drift
ah alright
finite dragon
not the shitty one
hazy helm
shift and ctrl is annoying
trust me youre gonna swear your love to it when you need to hide
finite dragon
why
shadow drift
the style has differences from area to area
huge metal garbade dumps, valleys, industrial facilities, stations and so on
finite dragon

I always loved Fallout and Metro and I had heard about STALKER from several different sources and friends and how the three series made up the great dystopia/post-apocalyptic trifecta, so I bought the whole trilogy and here I am. I think I’m one of the few to love all three series, many hate one or the other and make it a competition. They’re all great in their own ways
I love SoC and CS to death too, but CoP really spoke to me for it’s more intensive non-linearity and questlines/characters, the entire structure reminded me of Fallout 2 and New Vegas

that’s gonna screw things up
rotund ruin
he shot first lol
verbal hemlock
no he just hit the door
past shuttle
He thinks there will be mutants around his place
rotund ruin
he turned hostile
verbal hemlock
“No worries. Real men often take the backdoor.” _ Zulu
you should go back and save him
past shuttle
That's why he is a cracked man
past shuttle
He is not hostile
hazy helm
I can see why he did it,the game teaches you that if it's attacking you then you kill it
past shuttle
Hm, right...
hazy helm
he saw him shooting at the door when he was trynna enter and made assumptions
verbal hemlock
he has his own ending, he helps you get the compass, he shows you to the southern plateau
yeah I get why, it’s not his fault
hazy helm
not really a unbelievable thing to do and assume
verbal hemlock
still tho, should try to save him
rotund ruin
i did try to lmao
rotund ruin
he turned hostile when i tried
hazy helm
he has his own ending, he helps you get the compass, he shows you to the souther...
#⭐┃nospoilers_general message
dont spoil it tho
verbal hemlock
I’m not I’m not, lol
rotund ruin
dude i was chased by mutants i killed the mutants dude turned hostile and tried to kill me
verbal hemlock
the compass part is literally
||Beard: “get me a compass”
Noah: “here’s a compass”||
past shuttle
@verbal hemlock Not cool, not cool
Chased by mutants?
He has a pet pseudo-dog
You should not have killed it
Think about it
grand pendant
not one but two compasses
rotund ruin
no there were bores dude they chased me in lmao
grand pendant
dude's the most helpful stalker out there
rotund ruin
the pseudo dog just chased after me when i was trying to kill the bores
past shuttle
You mean burers?
grand pendant
no burers there, probably means boars
past shuttle
I see
But that doesn't make sense
@rotund ruin Did you by chance throw a grenade there?
rotund ruin
i dont use grenades lol
grand pendant
if ou shoot really close to them it can also turn them hostile
past shuttle
@rotund ruin Did you have a shotgun on you?
rotund ruin
i dont use my shotgun either i stick to assault rifles
rotund ruin
slyth said it right there if you shoot close to them it can also turn hostile -_-
only logical answer left since i didnt even attack either him or his pet
rotund ruin
probably
past shuttle
I also attacked him accidentally while using a shotgun against boars
rotund ruin
well too late now i aint going back and doing it again lmao
past shuttle
Never mind it
rotund ruin
Moving on lol
hazy helm
Have fun using them both <:smile_degtyarev:598839640476352525>
I never used compasses
past shuttle
So, which means,
verbal hemlock
you got the two compasses?
rotund ruin
yea
hazy helm
yhea,bc noah uses one compass and he gives you one
rotund ruin
planned on it
verbal hemlock
at least I’m pretty sure you can still do the quest, given you got them
hazy helm
you give one to beard
hazy helm
at least I’m pretty sure you can still do the quest, given you got them
you can
I tried
hazy helm
and i should care why exactly
mhe
verbal hemlock
Compass is a good artifact to use if you’ve got a +4 or 2 +2 radiation artifacts to balance out
verbal hemlock
why did GSC think it’s a good idea to send Deggy into Pripyat 1 and a Monolith fight with a SEVA suit, no bulletproofing whatsoever even with the upgrades that are available at the time, they’re basically useless
rotund ruin
yes the lore
past shuttle
@verbal hemlock Then, let me ask you something
verbal hemlock
normally I could tank and take the bullets for my comrades but I have to worry about myself and thus it’s going to be difficult to save all four. I’ve done it twice before though under the same circumstances so I guess it’ll be fine
past shuttle
Imagine if you were allowed to take your exoskeleton or an armor that had great bulletproof protection
That fight would be too easy
Period
verbal hemlock
It would be challenging enough if I didn’t have to save these useless morons
past shuttle
Those 4 dudes don't count
verbal hemlock
but you literally have to save scum Pripyat 1 to keep them alive
past shuttle
Just save them to the end and there you go
verbal hemlock
what
past shuttle
Or just bring fewer people to the underground
hazy helm
normally I could tank and take the bullets for my comrades but I have to worry a...
let me tell you,after making 2-3 runs saving everyone you stop caring,not strider tho,striders cool
verbal hemlock
Either let me have my Exoskeleton or make it so that I don’t have to jump in front of the bullets to save these guys
too hard with giving me a SEVA suit and having to save them
hazy helm
but zulu,f zulu,he can die for all I care
verbal hemlock
I’m going for a more perfect ending
hazy helm
I'll be taking his gun and selling it
past shuttle
I guess they could not come up with a better restriction for that area
verbal hemlock
Last time I had a perfect ending except for Sokolov (wouldn’t leave laundromat) and Man of Balance
rotund ruin
past shuttle
I wonder...
verbal hemlock
this time I got Man of Balance by manipulating it so I could get Man of Balance and still recruit Strider into Duty
past shuttle
Why Sokolov gets bugged in the final mission?
I never had that problem before until I started playing gunslinger
verbal hemlock
You just gotta get diplomat and turn Magpie into either Freedom or Duty to be able to recruit Strider, you can still sell Morgan and Tachenko’s PDAs to Owl and get A Man of Balance
past shuttle
Or I just simply didn't realise it until that time
How many achievements are there in the game?
verbal hemlock
like 20
hazy helm

magpie's going to the loners,he needs to pay bro
past shuttle
I know there are nearly 20
hazy helm
let him die like a dog
verbal hemlock
you can get most of them in one playthrough
verbal hemlock
the only mutually exclusive ones are A Friend of Freedom, A friend of Duty, and a Man Of Balance
past shuttle
Hm
verbal hemlock
Man of Balance is the best and obvious option
hazy helm
Man of Balance is the best and obvious option
best would be Clear Sky but we died so
past shuttle
And I never got the man of balance
I should try different routes
But not now
I'm replaying ShoC
rotund ruin
Opa im at the crash site
hazy helm
you went through the anomaly I see
past shuttle
@rotund ruin Take your weapon out
past shuttle
verbal hemlock
Ok I just ran ahead and gunned down all the Monolith at close range
Everyone is fine
past shuttle
Makes sense @rotund ruin
past shuttle
Ok I just ran ahead and gunned down all the Monolith at close range
Are you also playing right now?
hazy helm
you playing which?
verbal hemlock
Am I the only one that likes to leave a bunch of food, guns and ammo in the stash at the laundromat to make it feel like I’m helping keep the Fairway crew supplied?
Call of Pripyat, good times
hazy helm
Am I the only one that likes to leave a bunch of food, guns and ammo in the stas...
yes you are
I sell them
rotund ruin
Am I the only one that likes to leave a bunch of food, guns and ammo in the stas...
nah i do the same
hazy helm
like a true stalker
past shuttle
I also did that a few times @verbal hemlock
verbal hemlock
I wish you could give supplies directly to the Fairway guys
past shuttle
Except for the final mission
verbal hemlock
like here, have some food, have some ammo, have an upgraded gun
past shuttle
Since everyone leaves in the final mission, I get most of my supplies back
Makes sense
rotund ruin
well off to jupiter plant
verbal hemlock
Phew. I made it through Pripyat 1 without any deaths
Three times in a row
Omg I never realized that Deggy and the crew come up right next to the laundromat
past shuttle
Phew. I made it through Pripyat 1 without any deaths
Pripyat 1?
past shuttle
Why call it Pripyat 1?
verbal hemlock
because that’s what it’s called

I wish Pripyat 1 was illuminated
night vision
verbal hemlock
I love that Guide helped Kovalsky and the Stingray 1 Crew get to Pripyat, such an awesome callback
I couldn’t upgrade it at the time, no calibration tools
finite dragon
google where they are
verbal hemlock
Bro
I know where they are, I have them now
that didn’t help me in Pripyat 1 though
you have to get to Pripyat before you get the Calibration tools
past shuttle
SEVA suit has night vision installed already
@verbal hemlock Wasn't that enough for you?
verbal hemlock
yeah but it’s grainy
I mean I’m not saying I couldn’t get through it, I did
maybe it’s just because I can only have static lighting
I can have all settings at maximum except for dynamic lighting
past shuttle
My GPU sucks
Which means I can only get fluent gameplay by getting the settings the lowest

You can choose factions
shadow drift
not all of them obviously but yes
freedom, duty, clear sky, loners, "mercs", bandits
finite dragon
ok this is epic
gusty trench
Mercs? Meh
finite dragon
but does the story change when you join these faction
shadow drift
yeah that's why it's in quotes
it's not really a major faction
oh well
no not really but quests can change
shadow drift
well
not exactly join
but you can "side" with a faction
make them your friends
now the deal with that is
factions have their own traders, repairmen, and benefits
so like
if a guy is a duty repairman, and you are friends with duty - you get a nice discount
if you side with bandits you get to extort the local traders for cash
and so on
finite dragon
wow
Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!
anybody got a chance to save that scientist in wild territory
gusty trench
100%
shadow drift
do you have trouble getting to him or getting him out alive?
finite dragon
the soldier is like everywhere i don't know where they are and i can't get him out alive
gusty trench
They come from behind and that's it
shadow drift
you can go ahead before talking to him and clean up a lot of mercs
gusty trench
Just shoot their asses
shadow drift
after that just watch your back yeah
gusty trench
And then shoot the mercs in the closest camp.
finite dragon
maybe after i finish the game, I'll retry it and save him. i downloaded a mod that makes every enemy die one shot

Not sure if this is the right channel but:
I'm looking to finally play STALKER properly. My question is whether there's a linear storyline to follow? (Or do i just go around in sandbox mode until the game ends)
Also do I have to play the games in order or does it not matter?
hushed aurora
Welp, the recommended order to play them is their release order
SoC>CS>CoP
And yeah there's a main storyline for each game
Aswell as a couple of sidequests you can make in the way
gusty trench
(no mods, of course)
rain condor
I've had a few friends suggest to me that the game's pretty much unplayable without mods, is this the case?
hushed aurora
Perhaps a bugfix if you need it
Ehhh
I wouldn't really say so, it is dated but not to the point of being unplayable
tired anvil
Your friends are wrong 
rain condor
I'm guessing mods are just a band-aid for the '''''modern'''' videogamer right
tired anvil
Sorta
hushed aurora
Sorta
gusty trench
Your friends are completely wrong
sand oar
What
gusty trench
And not friends anymore
rain condor
He said it's not unplayable without mods
hushed aurora
It is perfectly playable in vanilla
sand oar
^
hushed aurora
Mods can enhance the experience ofc
sand oar
I haven't touched mods
hushed aurora
But Vanilla is alright by itself
hushed aurora
You can use a bugfix if you see it necessary too, this depends on the person apparently because i haven't needed such, but some other person do
rain condor
For now I think i'll try the bugfix and just a texture pack
hushed aurora
Aight
rain condor
Although the double damage for all seems kinda appealing too
hushed aurora
Ehh well, tbf most enemies die of one headshot atleast in SoC
rain condor
I guess my goal is to be terrified of getting one-shot myself xd
Are difficulties a thing?
rain condor
ah gotcha
hushed aurora
Master being the hardest difficulty
And novice obviously the easier, in between there's Stalker and Veteran

I dont know why people give CS such a bad reputation its not bad at all

I played without headphones, and the sounds scare me in the underground bits

||Agroprom Underground and X18 are, quite interesting||
rain condor
Aight and finally, any pre-requisites for knowing the story? or can I just hop straight into SoC
sand oar
Just hop in tbh
hushed aurora
You can hop right in
rain condor
Sure, thanks for the chat lads, been super helpful
hushed aurora
No problem
sand oar
But i just got to agroprom underground last night
In CS snorks are 10x scarier looking
But they seem to die easier
hushed aurora
CS has better visuals overall yeah

Or maybe a shotgun point blank just isnt a healthy diet for a snorky
