grim sinew
finite dragon

Still good

hushed aurora
#

Not really, it kinda sucks

finite dragon
#

But tunder s14 has integrated grenade yeeter

#

?

hushed aurora
#

Its better to use an underbarrel one, way less heavier

finite dragon
#

Bulldog is overkill

hushed aurora
#

Meh

finite dragon
#

I just need to get a pso for my tunder and im rdy to go

hushed aurora
#

To each to their own ig, i prefer underbarrel launchers

finite dragon
#

It can be useful in the last push to the nuclear plant

#

Im going to the brain scorcher now

#

Thats the only place where you need that much firepower

#

Came back from xq6

#

X16

#

I just need a groza

hushed aurora
#

Oh i didnt Even keep it for so long lmao

finite dragon
#

And a scope

#

And some vog 25 grenades

#

I discarded all my weapons inside the cnpp

#

After spending all the ammo

#

It was sad

#

😎

#

Does the groza have an integrated grenade launcher?

hushed aurora
#

I just grabbed what i could use tbh

hushed aurora
#

I think

finite dragon
#

Nice

#

It has thicc underbarrel

Scorcher snipers kot

Just use iron sight ak74 and shoot them

#

Remember my first time in thr npp

#

I dont know in vanilla but in autumn aurora the snipers 1 shot you

#

Very annoying

#

They do in vanilla too

#

Ah not 1 shot

hushed aurora
#

So You didnt Even complete the Game in vanilla kek

finite dragon
#

100%

#

I completed soc vanilla like 6 times

#

@hushed aurora i did it back in 2010

hushed aurora
#

Ah i see, respectable

finite dragon
#

When i first played soc, sid told me that i need vodka and antirad in garbage, i tought there was actual radioactive garbage in the small tunnel west of the rail bridge so i drank 20 bottles of vodka and used all antirad and ran through it

#

I didnt know it was an electro anomaly

#

And garbage is a different location

potent bluff
glacial zealot
#

Game crashes as soon as I try to leave the first room in SoC? First playthrough, I talk to the first NPC and get a mission, then the game crashes as soon as I press F to leave the room. How to fix?

finite dragon
#

@glacial zealot are you using mods

#

Also are you playing in steam

glacial zealot
#

I’m playing in gog

#

Also I have this addon for subtitles

finite dragon
#

grog

wispy walrus
#

what version is this "subtitle" mod for

#

and where'd you get it

finite dragon
#

@glacial zealot

#

Read

wispy walrus
#

i've never in my life heard of a subtitle mod for shoc, even if its exists shoc is pretty picky on what patch you're using

finite dragon
#

Interesting.

wispy walrus
#

try removing it

glacial zealot
#

Ok

wispy walrus
#

see how it goes

glacial zealot
#

I’ll update in like 10 minutes

finite dragon
#

I dont get it

#

while some of it edged incoherent, i could still decipher the text

glacial zealot
#

Are you talking to me

#

@finite dragon

#

Crap I have to reinstall

finite dragon
#

no

glacial zealot
#

No longer happening after the mod was deleted

#

Thank you guys

neon kiln
#

what is the difference between AREA and Anomaly

wispy walrus
#

they're quite different experiences that'd be hard to explain without trying both of them imo

glacial zealot
#

How am I supposed to understand the Russian without subtitles

pseudo yoke
wispy walrus
#

end of the day anomaly and area are both free

#

just try each and see

pseudo yoke
#

Free =/= good tho

glacial zealot
#

Are artifacts worth equipping? It gives me radiation and I don’t know what that does

finite dragon
#

Use it when you have artifact that reduce radiation

hushed aurora
#

Depends on the artifact

#

For example flashes, batteries and moonlights give you a lot of stamina recovery

#

For no radiation

jolly basalt
#

i've been attempting to learn russian but it's a very difficult language.

#

stalker is impossible to understand without english most times

ornate compass

#

i do practice. my main issue is learning words given i have no real opportunities to speak the language. but it's fun despite the difficulty

fickle cape
#

uh so should I play Call of Chernobyl or stalker anomaly?

wispy walrus
#

so like how the heck do you tell how many ironman lives you have in anomaly anyway, tho i'd try it out for once with a warfare + story mode mod

fickle cape
wispy walrus
#

huh why are you asking me

fickle cape
#

:S

wispy walrus
#

personally i prefer story mods

#

so

fickle cape
#

hm

#

I've played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and that's most story I've done
I've been recently trying out these two mods because it sounds fun

real vale
#

bros,I am curious if stalker2 has online PVE,like explore the zone with my friend

finite dragon
#

not sure

#

probably tdm, dm and artifact hunt just like in the previous stalker game

real vale
#

I didn't see a online play mark on steam of St2,yet there are some online game skin for pre order one,so…still hope cry

#

and,dame,the movie stalker is awesome

#

masterpiece

finite dragon
#

sad the actors in the stalker movie passed away

#

died to a chemical water

real vale
#

R.I.P

#

they are all that professional

finite dragon
#

better than hollywood tbh

pseudo yoke
#

There's no actual proof Stalker killed them

glacial zealot
#

Ok what difficulty is actually better... I’m searching it up online and some people say master causes your bullets to do more realistic damage, while others say that’s just the placebo effect and master actually increases enemy damage resistance. So which one is it?

pseudo yoke
#

Just look at this

glacial zealot
#

So enemies are still going to be as spongy on master?

#

I guess I’ll just play on stalker then

vernal magnet
glacial zealot
#

Ok I’m getting both sides again

glacial zealot
pseudo yoke
#

No you don't @vernal magnet

#

Thats an old myth thats been disproven for years now

pseudo yoke
#

You are playing Shadow of Chernobyl right?

vernal magnet
#

Im gonna have to pull a boomer moment here and say im not buying it. i have seen arguments supporting both sides. im not swayed by one chart. people bring up the XML files and a million other things but if it didnt play different than people wouldnt have so much to say about it

wispy walrus
#

teeth the akms and akm full are the same weight in anomaly

glacial zealot
vernal magnet
#

its the right of passage

#

master is love

#

master is life

pseudo yoke
#

That's one chart that is pinned on the official stalker discord by a member of the discord staff

#

it is correct, that is how it is

vernal magnet
#

you and your charts smile_strelok

ornate compass
#

I thought that we already established that every copy is individually made so non is the same

pseudo yoke
#

Just dont play on Novice

vernal magnet
#

i think all stalkers of the round table can agree on that

#

aye aye aye

glacial zealot
#

What’s wrong with novice

#

Is it just that easy

pseudo yoke
#

It ruins the atmosphere of the game if you have no worries about supplies

#

There is no tension

glacial zealot
#

I see

pseudo yoke
#

No resource management

#

Id let my 7 year old kid play on Novice, maybe

glacial zealot
#

I would try master but the gunplay is bad

#

So I guess the one below that

vernal magnet
pseudo yoke
wispy walrus
#

vanilla stalker isnt hard

minor seal
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

wispy walrus
#

not at all

minor seal
#

Master difficulty is minimum tier to enjoy stalker

vernal magnet
#

everybody feels like the ballistics suck when they have the crap makarov and double barrel

glacial zealot
#

Oh ok

#

I’ll play master then

vernal magnet
#

trust me the makarov is so bad

#

once you get the ak with 5.45 and then the GP37 you will be crushing it

#

the first bandit depot is a right of passage. the zone is breaking you down like a newbie at basic training

#

its molding you into this new world of thinking

minor seal
#

I just played the first hour of CoP goin' as fast and wreckless as I could, no deaths and 20k in the bank. It's actually silly. I LOVE the stalker series and vanilla is always refreshing, but it ain't hard

finite dragon
glacial zealot
#

Should I use the original weapons renewal mod

finite dragon
#

But ye, once you advance

glacial zealot
#

For first playthrough

#

Or does that also ruin things

finite dragon
#

use the Walker P9m

vernal magnet
#

Vanilla 100% for first play through

glacial zealot
#

Ok then

ornate compass
glacial zealot
#

What about zone reclamation project

ornate compass
#

Vanilla is pretty stable

vernal magnet
#

heres the thing

#

some of the jank is part of the experience. but if you want the most polished vanilla experience you need the CD's to run version 1.0005

#

1.0006 was fixes for multiplayer and it introduced single player bugs back in the day

#

which all of the current digital platforms use including steam

#

regardless, vanilla 100% for first run

#

enjoy the jank

glacial zealot
#

Ok thanks

vernal magnet
#

ZRP has minor tweaks to the game that make it technically not vanilla

#

but its fine for after your first run

ornate compass
#

I only remember one important bug in shadow of Chernobyl, when you help the scientist go to yantar when you save he doesn't follow and that's it

vernal magnet
#

the best bugs are from 1.0004, Yantar after the cutscene taking the samples and the camera breaks into a constant shake

glacial zealot
#

Btw does anyone even play the multiplayer

vernal magnet
#

they did until recently last i checked

#

but you need to download some patch somewhere to get the server list to function

glacial zealot
#

I see

vernal magnet
#

also for vanilla

ornate compass
#

Some days ago I saw some playing it but it never end like seriously playing, or at least when I join

vernal magnet
#

use that link to tweak Shadow of chernobyl for better visuals than the ingame menu supports

#

fixes shadows in widescreen and minor things like that

pseudo yoke
#

I want to modify the Izlom sounds and behavior

pseudo yoke
#

You're mad lmao

#

I don't need anyone to explain it, there's dozens of guides

#

I know you're a smooth brained little sperg but it's okay, most people can teach themselves things

#

Shouldn't you be talking about how bad Stalker 2 is going to be?

#

That isn't an insult, it's a question

I know English isn't your strong suit, but try a little bit

Steel helmet, spheres and the cloth mask and balaclava according to the spawn menu

That's it, meanwhile there's like 50 suits

pseudo yoke
#

There's the radiation helmet too

wispy walrus
#

Maybe my spawn menu is dumb

#

It has like not even a full row of headwear

#

End of the day I just use the psz-9d red line or whatever they renamed it after ripping it from dead air outfit overhaul with the other 60% of suits in the mod, so it's not like i care about variety

The first games were great tho but stalker is a lot more open

There's a lot of stuff that is similar between SoC and Metro 2033 in terms of atmosphere/sounds/etc

If you can, do not get the Redux versoin

#

1k of rpd ammo and 2k of pkp ammo later I managed to capture freedom base from monohomos

#

There was legit like 80+ squads on map

wispy walrus
#

ah yes

#

anomaly

#

"should we make blowouts kill the ai before the wave itself by default"

#

"no"

#

its always fun taking cover and the exos outside can ignore the blowout and flank me

#

its great cause this is the default, and now I already lost a life before finding this out and changing it

pseudo yoke
#

Why would the blowout kill before the wave

wispy walrus
#

well

#

the thing is

#

there's psi effects

#

the ai can run around during that

#

i can't

#

so they can just dog pile my building entrance as i take cover and just unload into to me until the VERY second before the wave

frail spire
#

I mean, you can just gun them as they get near the place you'ee hiding from the storm

#

If anything emissions make capturing a big place harder if you're going against monoliths since they can walk around just fine

frail spire
#

I just had to rush in inside the freedom base while being shot from every side because otherwise I would had to start the slow invasion all over again while buying squads to help me out

#

Because I can tell you it's pretty hard to capture a place when theres like 50 squads crawling around the place

#

Which is why I dedicated the 180 kg weight limit I had into medkits, bandages and everything else ammo

#

Because otherwise you're going to eventually run out of ammo

#

If anything thank god capturing rostok wasn't such a pain in the ass

#

The only real issue was breaking in since the squads would just keep coming out to the entrances making going in a nightmare

#

ANUUU

wispy walrus
frail spire
#

Then stop using that trash or at least get ap rounds

wispy walrus

ah yes i'll just buy the non existant ap stock from the traders

why not, it's an awesome mod

No it isnt

whaaaaat

Most people do not like Anomaly

#

It takes the design philosophy of Misery, ie: Item bloat and unbalanced beginning

and cranks it to 11

mellow echo
#

awh alright then

pseudo yoke
#

the anomaly discord server would be best

mellow echo
#

I can't find it tho

#

what's the server's name

pseudo yoke
#

Just google "stalker anomaly discord server"

mellow echo
#

alright, thanks stalker

finite dragon

you better talk in their server before hardcore vanilla fans get angry

mellow echo
#

alright2 I got it, anyways the server's emojis are cool

pseudo yoke

If you need tech support theirs is the best bet for anomaly too

pseudo yoke
#

There are actual people who remove Anomalies and Mutants from Stalker kuznetsov

worthy lark
#

Ein bruh

finite dragon
#

real

wispy walrus
#

you know, I've been trying anomaly again, i wanted to try the DC ver of their story mode cuz why not i got nothing better to do

wispy walrus
#

Got a few mods for warfare too, being able to do warfare with story mode is pretty great, cuz i can actually level up my rep in anomaly at a reasonable rate by replacing the enemy traders with other traders

finite dragon
#

You actually need a fix

wispy walrus
#

ive played the main story, just not DC

finite dragon
#

Thing is

wispy walrus
#

fix for what the warfare thing or DC

finite dragon
#

If you finished Operation Afterglow, try out another storyline (It's not hollow boundaries)

#

I won't spoil you who you need to talk to

wispy walrus
#

there's like a ||Sin|| storymode im guessing

finite dragon
#

But you actually can play in your own faction

wispy walrus
#

i'll be honest i dun like the map edits anomaly does

finite dragon
#

Whatever it was called

wispy walrus
#

why are there all these big TREES in the swamps

wispy walrus
#

they look so out of place looool

finite dragon
#

Lmaoo

wispy walrus
#

does this enemy faction kills give money thing in warfare just not work

#

it doesn't, ah classic broken warfare feature at it again

wispy walrus
#

does it need enabled before a new game or sumthing

#

cuz it 100% isn't working

frail spire
#

Killing gives you money but you may need to tweak the amount given since you're just given literal pennies even if you butcher a whole squad

wispy walrus
#

did already

frail spire
#

Then you did a fuki wuckie and may need to reinstall since theres no reason for it to not be working

finite dragon
wispy walrus
#

i set it to 1500

#

does the by level sounding thing scale it down or sumthing

frail spire
#

You get the baseline and the extra deppending on the multiplier that deppends on npc rank

finite dragon
#

it

frail spire
#

So if a rookie gives 1500 a trainee should give like 1600 and so on

finite dragon
#

Just kill everyone and check your money

wispy walrus
#

oh ok

finite dragon
#

real man

#

real

wispy walrus
#

its working, traders and all that jazz dont count even tho they're "faction" enemies

frail spire
#

Deppends on the trader

wispy walrus
#

im murdering blue berries atm

frail spire
#

Iirc there may be a hidden "trader" faction in which certain npcs are dunked in and stay neutral most of the time

#

Like butcher at garbage who supposedly is or was a bandit

pseudo yoke
#

Something very immersion breaking is being Monolith and not being able to kill the Flea Market traders or dude in the train hanger in garbage

frail spire
#

Well because those are in trader faction so yeah

pseudo yoke
#

Theyre invincible

#

I wanna kill them

frail spire
#

Im guessing you can't kill the flea market guy because hes tied to the simp hip questline

pseudo yoke
#

and sid

copper sky
#

they are a bit tanky but arent invincible

wispy walrus
#

idk if its one of my mods

#

but atleast they made base wiping viable

#

the npcs carry their base stock on death

frail spire
#

I avoid killing traders in general since I don't want random crashes

#

I remember killing sahkarov would cause a crash for example

#

Or the monolith trader/guide at pripyat

#

Also special traders like bear get replaced by generic npcs and won't give you more missions

#

Although I haven't every single trader so I wouldn't know for sure

#

And since you have a disguise system sometimes it's for the best to not kill them

wispy walrus
#

the cs traders i killed replaced by duty give the duty themed quests like petrenko, but in the new areas

#

so seems fine for me

finite dragon

In my cs playthrough the freedom trader moved forward a few inches every time i visited him

#

Eventually he passe through the wall and he dissapeared in another dimension

#

Which sucks because he's the only one that sells NATO launchers

nato guns are good

because they’re the only guns that don’t use the dovetail attachments

dovetail is good

void vortex

Ofc. NATO guns are build to shoot

#

i personally like to run through the zone like a maniac in a nosorog stabbing people to death with whatever i can find

quick dune
#

how about we complete stalker as stealthy as possible

#

your first silent gun is a pb1s in cordon so it would be easy

robust forge
#

I personally like not playing Anomaly

#

Anyways

#

@quick dune have you ever tried stealthing ShoC?

quick dune
#

no

#

that’s why i’m going to try

#

also easy as in easy to try to stealth

quick dune
#

do you have a stabbin’ license for that?

#

🤨

void brook
#

if only lmao, im from the land of cheeseburger

#

Even worse

quick dune
#

tell your people to stop asking for americans in stalker

void brook
#

i agree, i personally play it in the non english dub myself, i hate when people try to shoehorn stuff into the game because "Muh diversity" or whatever, just let the devs make the game they envisioned ya know?

#

there shouldn't be a bunch of Americans in the zone, it wouldn't make much sense unless the US military decided to go ham and try and find oil there or an artifact that makes it

finite dragon
void brook
#

implying the zone isn't already at war to an extent

#

also mainly a joke

finite dragon

#

US military would be like monilith, nobody wants em there

quick dune
#

no americans

#

literally

finite dragon
quick dune
#

the un government has to keep the zone a secret

void brook
#

its bad enough having the UN, i dont want america in the zone

quick dune
#

more people (especially americans) = very bad stuff

finite dragon
quick dune
#

the americans can be super rich and spies for the us government

#

then they can tell the whole world about the zone

#

if they get out

i think contract killings would be on them as soon as they would step into ukrainian land

It will supposedly, not looking forward to mmo style though. Playing with friends would be sick

does anyone know what its gonna be like

i figure if its retarded, its retarded

COOP would be epic

but if its fun, its fun

yea, I wouldn't mind a co op thing

vernal magnet

I’m gonna be honest. Even if the multi is mindless deathmatch, it will be so much fun to play with the bois like back in the day and set up LAN parties

Depends what you preorder

they say "pre-order bonus"

but is that even worth it?

but I have not seen what that actually includes

campfire tunes?

You get extra campfire songs for preordering

whats the difference between the retail and digital

vernal magnet
#

Definitely the most expensive collectors edition I will have ever purchased. I sold a few games to make money and room for stalker 2. Long love the king

bright marsh

depending on what you are pre-ordering you will get only the pre-order bonus (which I don't know what it involves), or other items on the list as well

small stalker story anecdote
heard friendly stalker being shot wounded near the gas station in cop
saw one bandit there, killed him with a headshot with my val, right from the entrance near the back of the gas station fence
wondered if the rest heard the shot (they did)
camped the door for about a min, didn't want to nade it cuz I tought the friendly was wounded inside the gas station, he wasn't
went to push, peaked the room, there were two bandits also camping the door, one on each side, managed to kill one before he took a shot at me, but the second one shot me in the shoulder I guess, got hurt, but managed to headshot him before he could finish me off
very nice a-life

bright marsh
#

I almost never spent more than ~$50-60 for AAA game

#

but after EFT $120 beta-access

#

stalker 2 doesn't look expensive at all

#

😄

finite dragon
#

true

minor seal
finite dragon
#

yeah i didnt scroll down and see that it says whats in all of em

finite dragon
#

i was just hovering over the different versions

#

kinda expensive

bright marsh
#

retail is STANDARD EDITION + goodies

finite dragon
#

$300 for a game

bright marsh
#

but if you want season pass + expansions

minor seal
#

Ultimate retail has everything from every other preorder

bright marsh
#

then you have to go digital

minor seal
#

It literally notes "includes digital bonuses"

keen needle
#

I assume ultimate will include all dlc and season pass stuff?

bright marsh
keen needle
#

crap, it better. lol

bright marsh
#

yes

#

it does

bright marsh
finite dragon
#

yeah

bright marsh
#

$300 is more symbolic for supporting devs and some branded goodies

wispy walrus
bright marsh
#

It would be cool if they would sell the back-pack separately

finite dragon
#

okay so they think if they ping me enough ill just give them all my money?

#

i will if thats what they want

wispy walrus
#

if the materials to make that lamp arent worth $150 ill cry

finite dragon
#

they just have to ping me a few more times

bright marsh
#

digital ultimate + backpack and maybe metal cover for game would cover my needs

keen needle
#

I mean, you can turn off the pinging

vernal magnet
#

The collectors should come with all the DLC. I think that’s kind of odd honestly having it behind the ultimate paywall. However I’m assuming the single player DLC will be substantial and merit the additional cost. Especially if comparable to clear sky and call of Pripyat

bright marsh
#

as added bonus it will irradiate your home as well

finite dragon
#

can i write gsc game world a check?

#

for all of my money?

bright marsh

I have my fingers crossed for official merch closer to launch

I will spend disgusting amounts of money

thats sad

bright marsh

it is time to spend now 😄

would definitely buy it again

interrogation

frail spire
#

Wasn't there a scientist faction that got cut from the original games?

bright marsh
#

isn't it funny that original games were so good

#

yet so much was cut from them

#

that it is enough to create 3 more standalone games only from the cut content

frail spire
#

I mean, dragon dogma dark arisen originally would have been a game so big it would have redefined a bunch of genres

#

But it got cut to 1/4 of what they had originally planned

bright marsh
#

CP2077

#

probably was cut to 20% of

#

what it should have been

frail spire
#

Nah, cybercoom was just bad from the groundup

bright marsh
#

not so sure about that

#

based on hacks and leaks

#

it seems they simply not implemented most of the ideas

frail spire
#

Hacks and leaks are done by companies themselves to hype people up

bright marsh
#

or kept them as placeholders only e.g. police and wanted system as an example

#

that could be true... as well to justify delaying the patches and overall timeline

#

not unbelievable, but thus far just a conspiracy theory

frail spire
#

It's like the whole "who found out cheat codes on old games?" and the answer being "the companies themselves sold cheats separatedly via guide books/magazines"

bright marsh
#

not really to the same lavel

#

level*

frail spire
#

It's not a theory, it's literal marketing

bright marsh
#

sometimes

frail spire
#

Why do you think their marketing departments are a moneysink

#

Because they straight up hire psychologists to herd people into believing stuff

bright marsh
#

the amount they spent on marketing was absurd

#

but that is another matter altogether

#

but I guess that is besides the point

#

it does not really matter how much is cut from the game

#

if it makes the solid game in the end

#

and going back to the topic - SOC is good example

#

probably 50% was cut from it, yet the game was epic for the time

#

and that is what I found funny

frail spire
#

Not really, companies tend to cut down games in pieces so they don't end up with something that could break the formula the industry is currently using

#

Why do you think sport games are always the same?

bright marsh
#

I doubt GSC cared about any formulas with SOC

#

because sport games are f***ing scam

#

never played any of them

#

and the way they raise money is literally a joke

frail spire
#

Well you've missed out on games like street soccer that was axed due to being too unorthodox

bright marsh
#

FIFA for last 5 years is basically the same game

frail spire
#

Yes thats the point

bright marsh
#

and people buy new one for full price just for roster update

#

but that is the scummy way EA conducts the business

frail spire
#

They don't change anything because breaking the formula would mean having to design an actual game and not just model swap every once in a while

bright marsh
#

not necessary applicable to whole industry

frail spire
#

I mean, they do it, blizz does it, bungie does it

bright marsh
#

especially not applicable for indie developers

frail spire
#

Indies are the worst offenders

bright marsh
#

well

frail spire
#

From 1000 games at least 750 will be the same game with color swap and model swap

bright marsh
#

indies are now playing this stupid - "never ending open beta" game

frail spire
#

On top of that you have rpgmakers that also fall on that despite being cool old-style games a few years prior

#

My point is that while I'm not expecting gsc to break any mold I hope they don't try to fit in too hard

bright marsh
#

if it going to be anything like original series

#

then there is good chance they won't

frail spire
#

Gotta hit that sweet spot where the game isn't too non-generic to not get hounded by big players like EA nor gotta be way too generic and be boring af and be dead on arrival

wispy walrus
#

but @frail spire

#

stalker is JuSt LiKe TaRkOv

#

and should have tacticool modding andhard core features

frail spire
#

[Triggered]

bright marsh
#

I actually afraid

#

that after EFT

wispy walrus
#

we should do a poll of what everyone played first tarkov or stalker

bright marsh
#

we may be disspointed when it comes to tacticool and hardcore

wispy walrus
#

and if they played anomaly after tarkov, but before the mainline games

bright marsh
frail spire
#

Stalker was never a milsim jesus christ when will people understand that

#

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

bright marsh
#

it was one of the most realistic hardcore games

keen needle
#

stalker > eft

bright marsh
#

mil-sim and hardcore/relistic/survival game

#

is not the same

frail spire
#

That was only because people suck at videogames

bright marsh
#

mil-sim is more about tactics and strategy

#

not necessary about survival or realism

frail spire
#

Up to a few months ago I wasn't even aware that people struggled with CS machinegun placememt

bright marsh
#

actually EFT ruined stalker for me

frail spire
#

Milsim isn't about strategy nor any of that, milsims are about doing everything by yourself

bright marsh
#

I had no issues replaying SOC for 30th time with different mod pack

#

but once I tried EFT

#

I just can't adapt back to original stalker series

#

sure for nostalgia

frail spire
#

Also arma exists which is still a better milsim that eft will ever be

bright marsh
#

but when you see that AK is wrong way around
