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.

>>1381574 I went to check just for curiosity. Reviews says it just lags an ancient game that should run in any toaster.
>>1382486 Yep, not even touching it
While I can appreciate what they were going for in Shadow of Chernobyl, I just can't like it. Having the entire world just be fenced off as a boundary just feels lazy to me and the shitty radiation zones you can't tell the boundaries to just made me drop the game even though I did like the concept of it and gameplay. The radiation thing would be an easy fix if you just put a green fog around the zone like fallout did this wouldn't be an issue. Despite the game being open world, it feels like I'm being corralled the entire time and feel like it would have been better if this wasn't an open world game, but a semi open one or linear one
>>1386514 There's literally radiation signs everywhere you dumb retard, plus the geiger counter. No wonder gaming now is just cookie cutter bullshit when this is the average retard who buys them. >if this wasn't an open world game It isn't
>>1386523 >There's literally radiation signs everywhere And often times you can't see them. geiger counter. >geiger counter. <muh hot/cold marco pollo gameplay! Kill yourself >It isn't Not what steam says

>>1386545 >And often times you can't see them. Skill issue ><muh hot/cold marco pollo gameplay! Radiation is of very little relevance in the grand scheme of things in that game, if it's a normal place you're supposed to be just pop an antirad after your geiger counter has calmed down, if it's one of the super hot zones they use as level boundaries you already know it from the multiple ways the game tells you that and you're dead in seconds anyway. >Not what steam says Retards gonna retard.
>>1386568 >Radiation is of very little relevance in the grand scheme of things in that game Why have it be virtually invisible then other than the sparse signs you see indicating radiation? I'll tell you why, it's to corral you into playing how the the developers want you to play, fuck player freedom. >Retards gonna retard. From what I read on it, it is in fact open world but separated with different maps that require loading screens. I'd still say this fits the description as open world even though the game clearly doesn't wan you to play it that way >Skill issue <lets just pretend they're clearly marked and the signs aren't sparse as shit!

>>1386667 going to have to take my mask off for this!
>>1386523 Radiation zones in stalker are stupid because they're basically stark lines without geometric falloff. The geiger counter should also be equippable like a detector so you can actually read it and not just get bombarded with stupid beeps AFTER you get a lethal dose. It should be stupidly easy to throw inverse square law onto the radiation areas. The devs should have done it but they didn't.
Also they should differentiate between alpha, beta and gamma radiation, which could be countered with different artifacts, equipment and items. iirc most of Chernobyl is actual gamma radiation, but any dust or food contaminated with alpha/beta could fuck you up pretty quickly. Given the existing sim-lite aspects, it would be interesting if getting/coping with lethal/debilitating doses could be incorporated into gameplay with artifacts. It would be pretty funny to just have doc just use a health regen and an anti-bleeding artifact to heal stalkers up while cutting out entire parts of their body, or an anti-cancer artifact in general etc. "You passed out and we took you to doc. He's reviving you with a shot of pure adrenaline and you have six hours to find a few artifacts for the surgery before you die."

>>1386514 >The radiation thing would be an easy fix if you just put a green fog around the zone like fallout did lol filling the maps with fart clouds is totally a great idea

>>1390660 >>1390977 >>1390940 >>1386514 Stop arguing about meaningles shit, fucking casuals. Green stuff already exist in the saga. Like the green gas In clear sky or the fruit punch anomaly for example And radiation ain't even that important Just buy a good armor and some vodka you poor fag. Instead of larping just go and play the games, Also why is nobody speaking about Together? I just found out about this mod that allows for multiple players (max 8) to play together. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=rCjarklsUk0 Looks like fun, although i have no one to play this shit with. Years of isolation finally came with a price lol
>>1381574 >removed Russian language from the game >removed all Soviet iconography and statues >removed rubles <"Anyone who disagrees with this is a Russian troll" ~ official company statement

>>1391117 >Green stuff already exist in the saga yeah but those are mostly set to specific areas like swamps and the underground sections. radiation being green fog means green gas everywhere (bad) >anomaly together is this from the same people who made the other 3 campaigns coop-able? i feel like those would be more fun to play with friends. but anomaly could be nice too, especially if mods are compatible. wonder how they handle respawn
>>1391359 USSR russian iconography was there as a way to show just how dystopian the regime was and it helped the atmosphere immensely, such a retarded fucking move.
>>1391359 >removed Russian language Never understood this one. Estonia threw a similar autistic fit. Fuck regular people who speak Russian I guess because of le Putine. Imagine banning English because Orange Man.

>>1391359 >>1391872 The developers are Ukranian aren't they? Those people have the sandiest vaginas of any humans on the planet.
>>1392003 You'd be pissed off too if your country was invaded, regardless if it was justified or not due to EU cancer. Doing this shit is just retarded, the whole game was already pretty anti russian with the military being extremely corrupt due to having russian ties, Duty having ties with the military/russia and being zealous to a fault. All the USSR stuff was also showcasing how dysyopian that shit was and still looks like, it's part of the game. The fucks who censored this shit don't even understand their game.
>>1392003 is this bait how do you not know where GSC are from?
>>1392043 Or maybe they DO in fact understand the game and are censoring it so people don't associate a totalitarian regime with the USSR

Ooh, that's some nice meta-bait, subhuman communist. No you for you, though.
>>1392915 > so people don't associate a totalitarian regime with the USSR If irony was made of burnt jews we would be at our 6 millionth holocaust.
