/sg/ - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. General

You are right about that. Theme was enough to get me to try STALKER, and theme is what got me hooked at first. Maybe I am looking at the whole thing from a really casual point of view.

>Expect the worst
>It actually goes by pretty smoothly and ends quickly

excited to see what Yantar's about

remember to make a hard save just in case the AI goes bonkers

What's the best weapon mod for CoC?

And how do I install them

>not playing with zrp
>not always using esc+s to save

i use esc+s tho
i also use "save (map name)" in console

Reading the negative steam reviews for COP is funny. They consist of 2 general themes:

>game is boring
>0.4 hours gameplay
or
>game is buggy

Maybe STALKER games do require a certain level of autism to enjoy fully. But still 5,367 positive reviews versus 245 negative.

I did. But the mega can be out of date or doesnt have certain mods ever.

CoP is boring as fuck though. Zaton is fun for like the first two hours and then you've seen everything there is to see and it's a slog up until you get to Jupiter which is fun for about an hour and a half and then you've seen everything interesting there, and pripyat is probably the most boring area in the entirety of the series.

I've only ever played COP, should I pick up SOC?

I remember my first time playing STALKER. It was Clear Sky and I couldn't get past the PKM gunner in the Cordon, so I stopped playing for a while. Finally decided to give it another go and when I got past the LMG I became hooked. I regret not playing in order but I was gifted Clear Sky. (lel)

Repoanon does a pretty good job of keeping it up to date.

Well everything is subjective I suppose, but I personally loved COP when I first played. But this was also back in the days when I had to borrow the actual disc from my friend and had to run it on my shitty laptop. I guess I wasn't spoiled for games back then. Im having alot of fun with COM though.

It has the best SP campaign but you spoiled world for yourself.

I'm okay with that, I really enjoyed the world and setting of COP. So I'll probably pick up SOC, then. Is there any must-use mods, outside of patches, or should I go full vanilla for first time?

it is impossible to appreciate mods in any game without beating vanilla first

Alreet, cheers

Only entitled pissbabies use mods for a first playthrough. You aren't ENTITLED to a fucking bug free experience you cunts. I bet you retards play bethesda games with mods on your first playthrough too. Kill yourselves.

>You aren't ENTITLED to a fucking bug free experience you cunts

it just works desu

I know everyone likes to make fun of this guy but damn his level of autism fascinates me.

i finished SoC at minimum graphics with my shitty PC (Intel GMA 3100 and 1gb of RAM). the game had almost no light effects and the flashlight didn't worked at all. if you don't finish your first playthrough like this you can't call yourself a Stalker.

too bad it doesnt mean shit in unmodded cop

Bethesda games are literally unplayable without mods.

>he never played morrowind on the original xbox
:^)

Morrowind is uplayable without patches and dev console

Hence it's unplayable on xbox

Playing CoC, non story mode. What do I do with the documents I looted from Agroprom and X-16?

i just went through his facebook feed

i thought he was kinda memeing while being half autistic but not i'm positive that he's legit mentally ill

sell to traders

*but now

Have you seen his blog posts on CoC moddb comments?

This fucking guy.

no, could you link some extra autistic ones?

moddb.com/members/tejas-stalker/comments

10 months of CoC 1.2

that's sad, i don't wanna make fun of him anymore

So if I want to edit trader inventories I need to make sure that they can both sell and buy what I want, right? And I need to edit it to be something like:

drug_radioprotector = 1, 1

For both the sell and buy entries?

You and I have different definitions of unplayable then, because I've dumped 250 hours vanilla onto Steam's version of it and about 50 onto the xbox version. I've never had any major game breaking issue to where I needed to seek mods.

im autistic

autism is forgivable, being a furfag is not

sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Editing_trader_files

I've been wondering why people don't link more to this wiki, but I guess it's because people can fuck up their game entirely if they don't know what they're doing...

not a furfag

Excellent, thanks senpai, here's your (You)

sure, kill yourself

kk

Steam version is patched. When TES3 came out there was no steam, and no gameFAQs to look up the console commands list of unfucking your shit. It's hilariously easy to break even the latest version without trying though. My favourite way of inentionally breaking the game is stacking 5000 athletics and levetating at jet fighter velocities, at that point you can pass through walls.

kek. with the xbox version you can do the glitch where you can un-equip and re-equip over and over to make your stats absolutely ridiculous permanently.

>tfw can never play morrowind again because it's just too boring for me every time i try

feels bad

Go play Gothic and Gothic 2 instead. Morrowind never had good gameplay.

If I get bored of STALKER anytime soon, sure.
Right now I'm playing through RadioPhobia.

Saiga is so OP it hurts.

>apples and oranges

Sure.

One is an RPG with an incredibly detailed hand-crafted world, NPCs that actually follow a schedule, fully voiced dialog, combat with an extremely high skill cap, de-leveled enemies with no respawning, and a solid leveling system which forces the player to make choices.

The other is an RPG with a largely copy-pasted world, NPCs that just stand there and do nothing, 99.9% unvoiced dialog, combat with an extremely low skill cap, leveled world where everything respawns and you have no real impact on the world, and one of the worst leveling systems in an RPG to date where the player never has to make any real choices, and can easily max out every stat and every skill in the game.

Morrowind is just babby's first "open world RPG" that millennials played on xbox back in the day, and go full nostalgiafag over it just like the previous generation did for FF7.

You do realise you just angered two generations of gamers?
wtf is wrong with FF7?

Leave this general be and take your screeching back where it truly belongs. Here, let me help you, mister autistico:

"gamers"... what have I become...

>wtf is wrong with FF7?
Shit story, shit character development, but great music and above-average gameplay. Meanwhile Morrowind has a good story, shit character development, great music, and shit gameplay.

Also:

I got memed again. I don't know how I'm going to pull myself out of this one, maybe go back and grab all 4 of my crow grenades stashed at the bar.

>le guaranteed replies
Yea, I get it now. Noone outside this shithole takes you seriously, so you have to compensate for it. Here, let me boost your low self-esteem by providing a (you).

*tips fedora*

What the fuck

>le epin armchair psychology
nice XD upboated ^

Dude just stop. Why are you shitting up the Stalker general with Morrowind/FF shit?

You brought up morrowind you fucking sperg.

Can both of you just fuck or something holy shit

Is there anyone here who plays with quick travel enabled?
If so, how do you balance it?

Personally I only travel from safe zones to other safe zones, the way Pilot would do in original CoP.

Does anyone have a more autistically immersive way?

You have me mistaken sir.

radiophobia is pretty cool. I love the new sounds theyve made, particular for shooting and bullet whizzes and what not, but god, why are shaders always so awful?

shaders always seem to have some nice graphical features overpowered by garbage coloring.

Why is clear sky so ass compare to anal chernobyl and call of penis?

cs > soc >>>>>> cop

solely because of the retarded CS camouflage pattern
CoP has one of those retarded-ass suits, so it comes to SoC > CoP > CS

It's a good thing custom shaders are easy to remove.

Didn't play it yet. What's up with them? Do you have any screenshots?

because it defined stalkan to you and you just can't accept anything less or more

Horribly rushed. Wasn't basically all of CoP originally content that was cut from CS?

Just finished Shadow of Chernobyl Vanilla, I've decided I want to play it with Doom's Mod Merge: user Edition

how would I install this

Why would you want to install that?

Having some trouble with Joint Pak 2, I killed all the military guys after I came out from the underground and then got moles pda, after that that militrary major took it and went from green to red, no I won't be able to give him the 20 bottles of vodka and am literally fucked, right?

>jp2
>I killed all the military guys
you fucked up

Sorry for bringing up Morrowind in the first place. I'll go kill myself now.

You don't give the vodka to the specops dude outside the tunnel, you give it to ensign shurstuk who chills ~100 yards outside the base under one of the power pole things near the cordon transition.

Anyone have links to CoM and the English translation? Mega won't load.

Any link for CoM mods (stcop, ao etc.) Would be cool, too.

This

I'll try that, thanks

dude, moddb

Repent by playing JP2 you nigger.

I read a post somewhere about CoM being in version 2.0, is that true?

maybe the new non-misery fork is 2.0
where did you read that?

>14gb installation
why though

after im done with radiophobia sure

Thanks man. Anywhere to go for English mods?

Standalone, more content than all three games combined in Vanilla several times over, shit ton of voice acting, cutscenes, etc.

Also 14gb ain't shit.

other than AO translation, none. it's a ruski addon. use google translate

fine, i better not get memed on, stalker...

is JP2 well optimized? does it has better graphics than the base games? can i disable the graphical enhancements? asking for a friend... with a shit PC....

Retarded fetch-quests (aka bring Tolik his pants), extreme AI with x-ray vision, shitty dialogues, disgusting mandatory stash hunting, where you HAVE to use engine bugs in order to get those stashes and more...
But hey, if you have a crippling depression, you might like it.
