>looking for stalker let's plays just for shits and giggles
>almost every single one starts on difficulties that aren't master
>drop them inmediatly

I know, I should kill myself for watching let's players. But does anyone know any good ones?

sauce

I always play at stalker difficulty.
Shooting at bullet sponges are more fun, it forces you to always aim to their head.

Enemies are still spongy in master though.

wake up

Will create some more webms tomorrow/this afternoon once I'm done with my classes.

12th for BARK BARK WOLF WOLF BARK BARK WOLF WOLF

28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds. that. is when the world will end.


what mod is that?

...

flesruoy lliK

did i just hear a hitler speech at the bar?

I once heard a merc play acoustic vaporwave on his guitar

anything is possible

the zone makes us strange.

found it

youtube.com/watch?v=hXAssopznWE

this exact tune, sounds fucking great on a guitar actually

Anyone know where sound files played over the radio are stored?

i was the guy having issues with the emissions in CoC. vanilla. latest patch applied.

the emission waves go through walls are visible wherever i am. wont kill me as long as im inside.

are there any mods to make emissions better?

i see misery 2.0 footage with beautiful emissions.

i want that

theres nothing you can do.
if you want misery emissions play misery

Well why don't you download misery and figure out how it changes emissions?

so this is something that just affects CoC? its not something specific to my game data or computer build?

that sure does sound complicated, im more on the playing games side of things right now. maybe over the summer when i have more free time.

i guess im just surprised that with all the mods for this game someone wouldnt mod a very integral part of it (emissions, psi storms, blowouts etc)

kill yourself

Finally got around to watching Stranger Things.
It's good to see the Bloodsucker get some part time work between COP and STALKER 2.
because stalker 2 is gonna come out... right guys?


someone please hold me ;_;

me on the center left

rule34.paheal.net/post/view/2024031#search=Gardevoir

please be nice to gardy

Do the higher difficulties make the enemies not bullet sponges? I tried STALKER like a year go and all I can remember is being mad at how much it took to bring enemies down.

Combat is deadlier for both sides. But the enemies in STALKER aren't really bulletsponges aside from the military who are armored.

I remember it taking a shitload of bullets just to down the first group of enemies I encountered in SoC

because you are using a bitch ass good for nothing pistol negr.

only play on master because of 'blanks'. otherwise no, you can still shotgun someone twice at point blank but because your gun isnt perfect condition they will one shot you with a piston

>git gud

Should I get this or should I savescum something similar from Nimble?

warfare literally L I T E R A L L Y when

D E D
E
D

Literally never

Orange garbage bag is okay for anomalies but shite for combat.

Blooseeker wishes he was as cool as the Demogorgon

But yeah, Stranger Things is baller, STALKER 2 never

Play on master, aim for the head, actually use armor penetrating rounds.
What said.

meet the negrs

wassup negr

He seems nice, thanks user.

I want a Maine Coon. What cats do you guys want?

kill yourself

Answer the fucking question and kill yourself

I'd like a scottish fold :3

>there's ammo in the chimneys and shit in Cordon
I discovered the roof artifacts before this, jesus.

...

who /playing AMK master without savestates/ here

enjoy your crashes

no crashes, just some stutters my friend

Is playing with quicksaves scummy?

calico

What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

what mod

CoC with DoctorX Questlines 1.16

uh, return them to sakharov?

The gigantic Komar mod actually is a quite need addition, especially for the swamps since some Clear sky soldiers in CS did mention gigantic mosquitos

does anyone have a copy of the transparent hud for CoC?

not the one from moddb, the one from the repo. its gone.

no

Depends on how scummily you use them

I'm playing SoC, and I have some questions. Do the repeatable quests (find x artifact, kill x) end at some point or they go on endlessly?
Should I keep artifacts that decrease radiation? And how do they work exactly, do they lower my radiation with time or just lower the maximum radiation of my character can be exposed to?
And why the fuck the game decides to spawn a band of bandits right at the spawn zone of the next area killing me instantely?

Yes
Yes
Yes

Endless busywork if you choose, always and they decrease rad over time, because fuck you

Calico, or one with short grey fur and green eyes.

No, they don't end. Sometimes you get different artifacts, and obviously you'll get different people, but you can keep doing them forever.

God yes. They lower your radiation with time, but they also prevent you from being affected by a certain amount of radiation. They are critical, not just because of radiation being dangerous, but because most other artifacts you find will expose you to radiation. It's just a lot easier to carry even a Droplet and avoid the penalty to endurance with a Sparkler than to go without either.

You mean the guys at the entrance to Garbage? They aren't that close. Just aim for the head and try and get behind cover.

how many of you play CoC on ironman?

The bugs and glitches makes me want to kill myself even when I'm able to reload, but actually having to survive and be careful sound like a nice immersion boost.

fairly sure the optional mission do end after a while, don't they

Nah, I mean like go back to previous location and somehow have bandits all around me.

Also should I join some factions?

No
No
No

The kill a stalker ones end I'm fairly sure

NoNoNo

misery but any mod with Atmosfear 3 has that weather effect

In SoC, it doesn't matter too much - you can only really join Duty or Freedom, and you have to be careful not to piss the other faction off too badly - or if you're crazy enough to do so, make sure to kill as many of them as you can, which isn't exactly easy.

If this is your first playthrough, I'd recommend just staying Loner. You can still do odd jobs for either faction.

Do you still get the sales representative one then? You can't redo the others and Sid won't name other stalkers for you to kill

Are you trying to argue with someone that played this game since SoC release?

Is Misery in CoP really that hard?

You mean bad?

No, I'm asking what kind of kill missions do you still get

The usual.

user pls. I assume Sid doesn't specifically name the stalkers he wants killed, like with Diodor or the others. Which are the usual?

He always wants someone killed.

So he starts picking at random after you do the presets? Do you even get a briefing about those guys?

He tells me where they touched him when he was little and then says that they have to die.

Anooooon
Wiki and zsg are already being dicks about it don't be rood

I already told you he always has a mission.

Yeah but what's the briefing tho
Does it say "Kill the stalker" when you click on it, etc

Unpack the .db files and read the descriptions yourself

So you don't know
That's dissapointing
Will do

>Implying I don't know everything

stop reminding me I'll never get a STALKER bf to cuddle and play games with

>Only wanting a bf
This is why you'll never have anything in life. You gotta think big.
