I'll better use Viper 5 than AKM-74/2u
pseudo rivet
It's definitely not the greatest in CoP
gusty trench
... and CS
pseudo rivet
But it should do fine against mutants
Oh nah, you notice the recoil in CoP?
It's manageable in SoC and CS
gusty trench
But it should do fine against mutants
Not really. AKM-74/2 does the same thing and even better.
gusty trench
Less ammo?)
pseudo rivet
The AKM-74/2U is really meant for close quarters combat
gusty trench
The sight ruins everything
finite dragon
is the akm the one with the uncentered sights in cs?
pseudo rivet
Eh, I'm okay with sights
gusty trench
It's just a rifle that can be properly used when you are standing 5m away.
finite dragon
I forgot the one that is
gusty trench
From the enemy
pseudo rivet
is the akm the one with the uncentered sights in cs?
Most are, in a way
gusty trench
is the akm the one with the uncentered sights in cs?
All the guns are a little bit... Not in the center
finite dragon
It's just a rifle that can be properly used when you are standing 5m away.
thats just because gsc didnt do bullet spread very good at all in general
possibly to encourage the upgrade system
pseudo rivet
Well, most weapons come from the black market
finite dragon
Most are, in a way
akm is the biggest offender tho iirc
gusty trench
AKM-74/2u is less controllable in CoP for sure.
finite dragon
The RP is impossible to use in any situation when the enemy is further than 10 feet away
pseudo rivet
It's actually pretty accurate
finite dragon
Idk I couldnt aim at all
pseudo rivet
Relatively easy to get
gusty trench
Compare it to 5.45 and 5.56
finite dragon
Relatively easy to get
only in CoP because of the army guys, in CS its impossible because once you get one youre in limansk and there are no traders
finite dragon
thats if you get it early
pseudo rivet
You can get it pretty early
rotund fox
No that would be the CS makarov

Rifle
gusty trench
I like how the character aims in CS
rotund fox
Can hit things up to 7 meters, maybe, and takes an entire mag to kill something unless you go for headshots
pseudo rivet
L2P moment
gusty trench
It's awesome. I killed 8 dudes with it
rotund fox
L2P moment
Make proper weapons not BB guns moment
gusty trench
8 shots = 8 kills
hushed aurora
It's one of the most effective weapons at early game
pseudo rivet
BB gun would be the PB-1s, tbh
gusty trench
PB-1s sucks. Yeah
pseudo rivet
Or, you know
rotund fox
Nah shoties are
pseudo rivet
The worst gun in the entire series
rotund fox
At least i can hit something with the over-under and slugs
pseudo rivet
Sawed-off Shotgun is pretty OP, tbh
gusty trench
PMm >>> Shotguns
pseudo rivet
PMm Gang
gusty trench
At least on Swamps
pseudo rivet
And everywhere else
gusty trench
It doesn't make a lot of sense to use any pistol after Swamps
pseudo rivet
Says you
rotund fox
Still, even the shoties tend to be underpowered and not at the same time
How can you kill a boar in 1 shot but not a human?
pseudo rivet
Didn't aim for the head
gusty trench
Hoomans use armor
rotund fox
GSC has a really weird taste when it comes to balancing
rotund fox
Didn't aim for the head
I shoot boars in the ass
pseudo rivet
Kinky

gusty trench
Hell. I remember the time when I tried to kill a soldier without helmet in head while playing SoC and wasted several 5.45 mags.
rotund fox
gusty trench
He just played animation of getting hit and that's it.
robust forge
The really slow one?
gusty trench
Not sure if they have slower.
gusty trench
It's manageable in SoC and CS
I do agree. It's controllable in SoC.

i'm gonna try to get into SoC for the first time and apparently you should mod the game to fix some basic stuff but i'm not actually sure how to do that
wild apex
literally every review of the game i have read/watched says that is a bad idea
tired anvil
Idk about you, but half the reviews I've seen/read still suck at playing the game even with mods “““fixing””” things for them
You're fine going in with 0 honestly
wild apex
alright if you say so i just didnt want to get frustrated and stop playing
gusty trench

Watching reviews is actually a bad idea.

Mods won't help you from getting frustrated if vanilla will piss you off tbh

tired anvil
Whatever fits you best, people might tell you master but if you find that too hard you can just go on Stalker or something

Will stalker 2 be using a new engine?
modern mason
It will use Unreal engine 4
or maybe 5 if the update it
or have access to it before the release
modern mason
No problem
willow patrol
Can the unreal engine perfectly replicate A-life? I'm worried that it could be dumbed down.
gusty trench
UE4 is definitely better than X-Ray.
And it has more tools to make the game better. But the thing is they hired again the creator of A-Life
modern mason

They said its using A-life 2.0 so yeah

minor thorn
Hi everyone! I am pretty new to Stalker and I just got "STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl". I saw that there are some graphic improving mods and I would like to use them for my first time playing. However I am unsure, which one would be the best, without changing the original gameplay too much.
minor thorn
Ok, thanks. But if you had to use one, which one would you use?
robust forge
None
hazy helm
lol
minor thorn
Oh ok, well thanks for letting me know
robust forge
If you feel the need to mod it, use only ZRP
It fixes some stuff and improves stability
But refrain from Complete
hazy helm
complete...you mean bad?
minor thorn
Thanks, I will check ZRP out
Also, what do you think of "autumn aurora"? I am just curious, because it looked nice
robust forge
Give me a sec
Oh, yeah
AA completely ruins the atmosphere
ShoC can be really colourful
Especially in cordon
Which has that weird soviet technicolor vibe
Something like Tarkovsky's stalker

Sheet I was playing SoC a few days ago.. got angry because I couldn't get myself into the game and was scared to play and uninstalled it .. but now I already want to download it back 😔
robust forge
Call of the zone is already getting to you, hmm?
young swallow
I literally want to try again, but I know that I will start from the beggining
And have to grind up again
to just ragequit..
young swallow
Sadly none of my friends like watching me play so I feel lonely
robust forge
It calls you back
young swallow
Yeah
robust forge
You pirated it or did you buy it?
hushed current
The zone is dangerous and unforgiving yet many still adventure or live there
young swallow
I just don't have enough for stalker.. the games cost alot and I also want to save up for another upcoming game
hushed current
I’m not judging but you probably shouldn’t admit that on the developers server
young swallow
Check them out on Eneba
Well the problem is I have no way of buying from internet stores
hushed current
Do you have a steam account?
young swallow
I do, I have some balance on there but if I wanted to buy stalker and an upcoming game it wouldn't be possible because of how overpriced (in my opinion because it's a really old games) stalker is 😕
I even looked for sales and everything, but I still found the games to be very costly for me
hushed current
Clear sky is cheaper than the other two
young swallow
But I have heard very bad things about it.. that it's unplayable and very boring. Not sure if it's true I just heard it
hushed current
It’s considered the worst by many but I personally liked it and it is the first game chronologically
young swallow
I will wishlist the games and if someday they make an insanely big sale I will definitely buy the pack of 3 games
young swallow
I've seen CoP for 20 cents
I looked for it and it's for gog.com not for steam :/
robust forge
Yeah
What's the problem with it?
Also
Clear Sky is very good
Idk why people think it's bad
Honestly it has the best gameplay in the series
And is barely behind ShoC's atmosphere
Lore-wise it's the richest out of the whole trilogy
It's one of the best prequels I've ever played tbh
young swallow
When do you think they will make a sale on steam for stalker games?
robust forge
No idea
young swallow
I will probably get a ban from here soon because of admiting that I didn't buy the games, but cracked it. Sorry and I will try to get my hands on real copies of stalker games
robust forge
Not really
gusty trench
Nah.
robust forge
Devs don't really care
I have to say, even I pirated the trilogy
Because I had it all bought on CD's
But they're in polish version which doesn't like mods
So for mods I've pirated the games
Although I'm letting myself a moment of leisure sometimes
And that's how I only need to buy ShoC for steam now
finite dragon
i both have a cd copy of soc and all the games on steam
finite dragon
Idk why people think it's bad
Misinformation that is spread by the clueless community. Just like the difficulty myth. Or bloodsucker artifacts. Or ISG being a genuine build faction. Or Steve...
finite dragon
Because I had it all bought on CD's
Lmao same. Dad bought the original CDs of all three games. Then he bought them on steam. Then I pirated it (via the repos which included the game ready to be repacked with mods). Then I bought the trilogy on GoG
finite dragon
Bloodsucker artifacts?
Bloodsuckers in Clear Sky drop night stars. Didn't you know?
young swallow
I haven't played Clear Sky, only a little bit of SoC and CoP
robust forge
Starting with ShoC
robust forge
Ok, Lithuanian
young swallow
I know, but it's really hard for me to not get bored or poop myselfbecause of the atmosphere
robust forge
That's the thing with stalker

Mods are for after vanilla, main perk is being able to wander around post story and sandbox it a bit
quick dune
super weird to play a game right
muted sphinx
idk but i played through a lot of mods after playing through the original trilogy, anomaly, oblivion lost, COC, COTZ, gunslinger and many other
but nothing feels as well balanced as vanilla
like, there's too much survival elements, or too much crafting, or too much graphical effect that make the game barely run
or not even enough enemies to shoot
vanilla is so perfectly balanced, it just feels right in comparison to mods
does anyone else feel like this?
gusty trench
Respect +
lone leaf
I like the feel of open world exploration but yeah the story provides a better overall structure to the game. CoC suddenly decided to lag my game any time there's an anomaly going off, too

yes it is perfectly balanced

muted sphinx
i cant wait anymore

some of the mods make the game even harder

Don't worry, worst case scenario it's only 9 years left

it didnt make the game any more fun

Yeah. Maybe because Ukrainians got pissed off that soldiers speak perfect bookish Ukrainian

i was told by various native russian speakers that whatever the english wiki cheeki breeki page says it's totally made up
and serjous too
basically, it has no explanation at all. It just sounds cool

So I was right the first time ok thanks Slyth for clarifying
gusty trench
basically, it has no explanation at all. It just sounds cool
Could be. Even I can't explain it.
hushed current
One of the many mysteries like fangs grave or Father Valerians corpse
grand pendant
Valerian's corpse is an easter egg by the level designer, nothing special.
Fang's grave is simply a plothole
hushed current
I heard valerians corpse was apart of cut content
hushed current
Don’t know how true that is tough when I first found the corpse I recognized him and ran back to the loner base only to find him standing there alive
grand pendant
(there are also 2 Stringovs and 2 Lingovs but not sure about these)
hushed current
Boltins you mean the military corpse?
grand pendant
yep, one in the middle of an anomalous field and another one near a campfire. Both past the railroad enbankment
hushed current
So why are there two dead soldiers with the same name?
grand pendant
because they were originally part of a doppelganger storyline. Where the noosphere could somehow create a replica of a person
in that story, Scar (the one we play) was a doppelganger all along, and the real Scar was around the Center since the start
hushed current
Interesting mentioning that made me remember I the fathers corpse I brought up. I heard it was apart of that doppelgänger storyline but now that I knows that’s false thanks for clarifying
grand pendant
yeah, that is usually spread around. But Pyotr Dushinsky himself said it was an easter egg, not a remnant

in ukrainian, most of the fraction in ukrainian, soldiers and duty in russian
duty is mostly full of russians

duty is mostly full of russians
But... Why then?
And why Ukrainian army is full of Russians too.

i guess ukraine and russia are friends (not really)
well Duty is mostly a paramilitary if i remeber correctly they got russian personnel in there

What gets me is that mercenaries seem to use NATO gear and, from what I can tell, are implied to contain a lot of foreign agents, but they speak in a way the locals can understand.
Unless they're locals hired and supplied by the west or something, that might do it.
thorn gulch
i agree
lone leaf
Though it's refreshing to see us funding illegal operations in other countries like that, our "we're the good guys" propaganda schtick gets exhausting in western games.
And that's as close to politics as I'll get.
thorn gulch
What gets me is that mercenaries seem to use NATO gear and, from what I can tell...
echologists too
humble meteor
Ecologists are probably just people from ukrainian universities
not international stuff

Even then the foreigners are probably working at Ukrainian schools, so they'd know the tongues they'd need to know.
humble meteor
It's probably just the fact that GSC couldn't hire foreign people probably

With mercs though it would be an active benefit to speak something the local types can't understand
Probably, but it's a curiosity all the same.

They could probably understand basic ukrianian

Now I'm wondering if any other countries are trying to replicate Zones in controlled environments to get in on the artifact market.

It would be too much of a risk and a stupid idea

I definitely see the US deciding to dedicate a chunk of desert to it.
Yes, that's why I said I see the US trying it.
humble meteor
Zone is not just artifacts, it's also mutants and other terryfing ideas
Messing with noosphere doesn't bring good results
thorn gulch
true, but dk why there is foreign people try to enter to the Zone
ik that bandits enter to the zone for money or escape from their goverment
humble meteor
Bandits are just stalkers who don't want to work too much
A lot of loners are also escaped convitcs

I'd certainly be tempted depending on how much info leaks out to the rest of the world about the place. Probably not actually do it, but I'd probably have the urge.

soft fjord
As someone that's never played any of the Stalker games, are there any mods or anything of that sort that someone would recommend for playing through them the first time? Or just stick to the vanilla game?
hushed aurora
Vanilla
And in case that you encounter a buggy game then you could try ZRP (For Shadow of Chernobyl ofc)
The recommended order to play them is SoC>CS>CoP
soft fjord
Only thing I've considered is perhaps something that implements some kinda of autosaving, since I tend to have some bad habits of not saving on my own. Perhaps it's just something I gotta get used to
Yes, I was gonna start with shadow of chernobyl
hushed aurora
The game autosaves whenever you enter a new area,
But you can still lose a lot of progress if you don't save anymore while in it
So i don't really know, i think some mods implemented timed autosave but can't remember any names rn
soft fjord
Previous attempt was when I was doing a lot of the side content within Cordon, and I ended up getting stuck, unable to move, and forced me to restart all the way back to the bunker at the start because of my bad habit of not saving on my own
hushed aurora
Damn, that's pretty unfortunate
So i'd tell you to try ZRP then (requires new save iirc) dunno about mods for autosave 
soft fjord
I'll look into it some then, I appreciate it!
hushed aurora
No problem, glad to help
hushed aurora
How good will SoC play without a GPU, my 1080TI blew <:kuznetsov:619174545995202...
D a m n
I think you should be fine but expect to lower the settings, static lighting ig
lyric forge
I kinda wanna play on max
But if I get 40FPS umma just live with it
Prices for a 1080ti are off the charts pricey atm, I’ll wait till this stuff lowers a little
tired anvil
@lyric forge max setting is just broken so go 2nd to max regarding lighting
finite dragon
you're getting 40 fps?
hushed aurora
The max Lightning setting being broken? No i think
finite dragon
smh i got huge fps drop m on gunslinger
maybe because of the weapon resolution?
i mean that's impossible

I'll turn into converti-monolith

i know that you can freeplay if you choose to not leave
just want to know if there's any interesting thing to do
hushed current
Uhh there’s a lot of areas to explore the side quests are really fun and important if you want good end slides you can also look for tool kits so merchants can upgrade your gear
edgy spindle
just want to know if there's any interesting thing to do
Side quests, getting your own inventory setups, killing everyone in the zone and trying to survive after, trying to get as rich as possible, trying to get all items in the game upgraded to the maximum
or replay the game again and again and do all the endings
👍
finite dragon
ok looks like i gotta try coc
finite dragon
me when i sell a super rare super powerful artifact for 5000 roubles (literally 54 euros)
finite dragon
im playing anomaly and i just looted an as val from a military guy, should i spend the resources to repair it to use as a sniper rifle? ive played all 3 games and i remember the val being ass in all of them compared to the vss
gusty trench
AS Val is a close range rifle that uses rare 9x39 ammo you won't find a lot.
Stick to 7.62x54/51

dont expect an anomaly sized map
tbh id just expect more or less the size of soc's map
hushed aurora
It's composed of three maps
They are sorta Big, but theres almost nothing to do in Pripyat ||(besides the Main story stuff)||
tired anvil
Considering the fact we've already seen at least 3 new locations + some old ones, I highly doubt it'll be the size of SoC
I think it'll be far bigger
hushed aurora
Id Say it's gonna be bigger than CoC's
tired anvil
Pripyat is already obviously bigger, we see a lab (maybe the start of one), the a new lab with an alien thingy, some new Anomaly in a location called the Dark Forest which is new, we see Duga, we see weird bubble building, possibly a new swampy area as well
There's already a decent amount of new locations that we can see which will be in the game, to assume that it'll be the size of SoC is a big understatement imo
hushed aurora
It is
tired anvil
The clear concrete concept arts about S2 were mentioned to be locations in the game. I don't think anything was said about more PR-type arts for anniversaries and stuff, but if the same logic applies, then we can easily see Skadovsk, the Great Swamps
finite dragon
still helps not to overestimate devs just so you don't get let down if the game releases
tired anvil
Obviously, but expectations vs what we've already seen has a difference
