Can we have a Stalker thread? I've recently tried out what all the fuss around GAMMA is about and I must say it's quite a fun experience For people who don't know, it's a customizable modpack for Anomaly (a freeplay mod consiting all areas of the first 2 stalker games) and comes with its own updater and Mod organizer 2 config. You need the GAMMA launcher fiels wich can be downloaded from theri shitcord, but if you are a boomer like me who doesn't want to make an aacount you can just download this somewhat older build off mediafire and it will update itself upon lauch to the newest version. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agyul0e6fbban/STALKER_GAMMA Then you need Anomaly itself which can be downlaoded here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads Unpack both into their seperate folders and then point the MO2 from the gamma folder towards the Anomaly folder and from there it will be basically autopilot. I enjoyed the A-life in this and how the best parts of the original trilogy are expanded upon, specifically the hobo phase. Weapon and armor upgrades feel siginifcant but you can even start out with some decent gear since you get a few points to spend on a new game. I'd recommend tweaking the MCM settings to your liking though, stuff like dropped ammo amount and gear condition based on rank for example. I also didn't like the brown and colorless look of the default install, reinstalling the grass and weater mods gives several options like spring, summer, autumn, winter etc.

I will reach the age of 70 and I will still be playing these games
I came
>>1841946 >stalker 2 burned me out I'm shocked you bothered to play. Besides the diversity nogs & femme bosses. What else is wrong with it? Besides what doesn't eed to be mentioned; No a-life, the way mutants spawn, mutants in general being lazy ass shit with spam X not to die segments that plus the game being hastily coded, the anti-russian sentiment too. I might'vel isted all the problems however - not like I have intention to play myself not to mention STALKER Anomaly within boot-up utterly misses the point of the game. Guess I'll find CoP mods to suit my needs since apparently keeping STALKER, STALKER is impossible for these redditard faggots.
>>1866645 >the anti-russian sentiment too Always was there with the Military and Duty There was anti western sentiment as well with Mercs. >Anomaly misses the point Both SoC and Clear Sky were filled with RNG endless missions, CoP had them too. What's the issue here?
>>1867507 >endless missions in SoC & CS they tie in with shit to do, those games are more focused aka a smaller map. Anomaly makes you hike through all three games worth of area which can get stale after a time I know there's fast travel stfu Anomaly is bad because it changes other aspects of the gameplay in a heavy-handed way that don't feel very STALKER-like. don't know nor care about alot of the overhauls for it either tbh.
>>1866645 >diversity nogs Cmon man, this was one of the conditions to get those HIMARs. Small price to pay all things considered. >anti-russian sentiment You could say it was kinda in the background, but removing all old commie symbols from the world is LOL worthy.
>>1867528 don't defend mental retardation thanks.
>>1866645 You forgot to mention that all npcs look the same, good luck figuring out which one is friendly. >>1867507 >the anti-russian sentiment You pointed it out right, in the OGs it was equal for everyone, in the second they just slapped uk*anian language everywhere instead of russian.
>>1147936 I tried playing anomaly years ago, loaded up with dozens of mods and had a really shitty time. felt like a open barren wasteland with horrendous AI that didnt even react to shots around them or flashlights. Has this changed at all with these modpacks like GAMMA?
>>1867523 SoC is full of pointless backtracking and Clear Sky has that same giant map traversing problem which becomes even worse due to them nerfing stamina in general, even with Endurance Artifacts. Anomaly deetractors just can't handle the new items and the optional inventory system. Filtered ADD babies >>1868881 Yes, but GAMMA forces you to use the crafting system
>>1868881 Have you tried IWP? (improved weapon pack)
>>1868881 IWP if you want a very simple vanilla-like modpack with cool weapon animations Team Lite if you want buildo freeplay BOSSPACK if you want OP 2.2 Anomaly Anthology if you want 100 maps and 10000 quests from different mods put into Anomaly I'm personally waiting for Anthology 2.0 to come out, the biggest sin of Analmeme freeplay is lack of maps and quests, Anthology should fix that
>>1871235 >Lack of maps If anything it has too many maps and too few quests. Darkscape is just there
Anyone play goldsphere? What did you think?

>>1871889 No maps are needed, some modders like G*ok are lazy faggots, you have tons of maps to steal from other mods like The Exception that would fit in freeplay. It gets boring fast when you have to revisit all the 20-30 vanilla locations instead of having 100 custom maps. Then slap Ironman with permadeath and random spawn locations and it decreases monotony of everything being the same >>1871889 Goldensphere is the pinnacle of Stalker modding
>>1872029 Maps are only needed if there are custom quests on it. Every map should have it's own dedicated questline with a plot amd nice rewarss too incetivize you to explore it.
>>1872098 That's another thing. You might want to wait for Anthology 2.0, since its what you're describing
What even is Stalker GAMMA? Why would I not just make my own analmeme mod list?
>>1874623 >Why would I not just make my own analmeme mod list? Because it takes fucking ages? GAMMA has like 1000 mods in it, it's a modpack.
Youtubers ruined stalker
>>1874957 How, because it's not a le ebin secret club game anymore? I'm only half-trolling, I have seen anons mad when games get an audience outside imageboards
Is Stalcraft worth getting into?

God those games can be comfy at times. It's a gentle melancholy yet it feels like you're with friends.

>>1879208 I have yet to find a comfier game or a bigger timesink. The Military SciFi, the decaying Soviet Architecture the supernatural mixed with scifi, the inventory autism, the weapon addons, the exploration, the Artifact hunting, the upgrade system with side choices, the dark as fuck nights, the soundscape. It's literally my hole I've probably lost years to playing these games
>>1147936 Just tried GAMMA for a couple days and it was the shittiest experience of all time. Analmeme is so fucking bad it boggles my mind people play this shit.
>>1886835 Filtered
>>1942583 I'll wait for the binocs

I must say, one important mod and a year of patches later and S2 is like a completely different (better) game. The Unlimited mod that reduces all the random loot by like 90% so you don't end up with a stash of 500 first aid kits, re-balances a lot of things and makes stashes worthwhile, made the game much better. And all the A-life patches are felt, I'm no longer getting annoyed at shit randomly spawning next to me, encountering anything feels natural. I fucking love The Zone and I'm glad to be back.
>>1956575 I won't play until there's binocs
