Oh shit, I just remembered, I was saving up for a couple of weapons AND armor, I was about to head into X18 and I remembered having a tough as fuck time going through it the first time, that's why I was saving up money. I also have another story.

I want to try AMK but my game is 1.0005 and /v/ says AMK is buggier when its played with SoC 1.0005. Wat do.

Image is LURK 1.1
Cordon was foggier than usual and it kinda creeped me since I've had LURK for 4 months now and its the first time I got this much fog in the game.

>>111952690

Here you go. Follow these instructions, don't worry about bugs, I didn't find any when I played [except the inability to join factions, but I think thats because I'm not on good terms with either one yet, or because I'm still a rookie, I dunno], the only problem is translations, some text is still in russian, but nothing important, you can easily finish the main game without worry.

I just find it a really memorable experience. I was just ambushed, and completely out numbered. Just the way I found an easy way out through the opening made me feel like such a STALKER. I saved ammo and didn't have to kill anyone else.

Vodka? You mean rum? okay, cheers!

>>111953735
You made me mad by fagging up my Stalker with your faggot make-believe antics.

>>111954569

You made yourself mad by getting angry, chap.

>>111954365

Heh, alright, good luck man, but a small tip before you go, if you see what looks like dots/leaves or something being sucked into a invisible area, that's an anomaly, don't go there.

>>111954544

Cheers! And a toast, in honor of those who have been claimed by the zone, rest in peace, brothers.

Um, it does. Plus, EVERY stalker knows that you must quick save constantly, less you are taken by the zone.

Such is life and death in the zone

Did any other stalker have problems escorting Kruglov to Yantar? I'm using AMK and every god damn time there's an anomaly in the way and the bastard just runs straight into it.

>>111954963

I almost fucking made it. That wasn't even a script, I wish I got dubs to celebrate the birthday of the site that rules 35% of my life.

>>111954824
Fuck that last part. By the time I made it inside with two minutes to spare I barely had any ammunition with me. It was a good thing I brought my shotgun with me and that really packs a punch. What pissed me off was after a quicksave I made. Died and had to reload it. Suddenly I had three assholes directly behind me shooting my back a second after I load. Fuck that.

>>111954790
>relying on autosave
>not quicksaving every step
>not saving at safe points

>>111954965

That is a Controller, rookie, one of the most feared mutaunts in the zone, I can't really tell you how to kill it other than shoot it till it's dead, but if you get to cover, it's effects can't hit you. I don't know if it's a glitch or not, but I rushed at one once, it didn't hit me with it's mind thing when I got close to it, but like I said, it may have been a glitch, don't try it unless you have no other option. Also, at that part, just run, run to the ladder, it won't get to you in time.

>>111954790

>>111954965
Thats a controller
dohoho you are nowhere near the scary parts

>>111955088

Now that is what I'm talking about

>>111955091
Fuck. I made a quicksave inside the final dungeon, I died, and when I loaded my save a guy had spawned behind me(even though I left a trail of bodies behind me). I actually had to set it on easy just to survive that short firefight. That glitch would have cost me 3 hours if I had loaded my hard save.

>>111955088
You are a faggot, please leave /v/ or lurk more before posting

Anyone know how to join Duty in AMK? I can't find the option when talking to the Barkeep. I'm a rookie, neutral to Duty if that helps.

>>111955008
AMK was designed without Kruglov in mind.

>>111955145
>Controller
>feared
In SoC they have no close quarter attack, one of the best ways to kill them is to rush them with a knife from behind cover. Otherwise lean around corners and aim for the head, or use grenades.
Protip: Don't try to stab controllers in CoP.

>>111955494
i was too much of a bitch to get near the controller in SoC. I must have used 300 AK rounds to kill it. Almost shit my pants when it first appeared, and the screen zooms in on it.

>>111955248
>>111955145
>>111955494
Thank you fellow stalkers, I'm going to venture forth back down into the depths and try to slay the foul beast before my fear gets the better of me.

Wish me luck!

>>111951656

Holly shit I own that exact gas mask on the right.

Wait- It doesn't have a filter mounted.

That's what I meant by feared, usually, rookies [and even expirenced and vets] are too suprised/scared to run at it, just because it's harmless doesn't mean it isn't feared by people, like a daddy long legs.

>>111955587

No worries rookie, it all cought us by suprise.

So I've been hearing a rumour about Stalker 2 or Stalker 1 going open source when the 2nd comes around? Does anyone have a source?

Anyone actually play stalker in a stalker suit and smoke ciggarettes and drink vodka without the lights on?

sounds immersive

>>111956211
Does CoP have two or three gun slots (i forgot)?

>>111956253

If I had the money to fund all this shit, I would. Sound's pretty cool, speaking of, anyone have a picture of one of the challanges? Putin and Stalin challange if I remember.

>>111956253
Quite a tempting idea

>>111956360

>>111956427
>>111956404

Danke comrades.

>>111956353
Putin one replied to the wrong guy, ah well

Torrenting CoP right now, razor 1911 is a legit torrent right?

Ah, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
I finished Clear Sky a few months ago, and for some reason, never picked up Call of Pripyat.
I've got it sitting on my computer, unmodded, I need to decide what sort of mods to use for it, then get started. Haven't been to the zone for two or three months now. Missing the radiation.

Anyone know which mods I should get for CoP, or should I just give vanilla a shot?

>>111951656
>>111952170
Stop ending your posts with "!!!", you look like one of those fucktards who fell into the empty pool head first

>>111956497
Just give vanilla a shot then if you want to play through it again get Redux, I Work Alone or Sigerous Mod.

>>111956477
The STALIN challenge sounds brutal

>>111956422
In that case why would you be using a handgun for your second slot? Shoulda chucked a shotgun or a submachine gun. Also, stalker should have melee weapons beside the knife, like shovels, bottles, and axes. I've snuck up on zombies so many times and it just feels so gratifying to stab them in the back. I wanna crack a bottle on their head though
>>111956497
Vanilla, CoP is best Stalker in my opinion btw

>>111956477

>mfw I'm playing AMK on master and not wearing any artifacts

Mainly because all the ones I have now give radiation, waiting to find one that lowers it so I can wear them.

>>111956590

You killed a Controller, and doing so, you may have saved a rookies life, who knows who may travel down there, you did a honorable thing, STALKER, and I salute you for it.

I know, I know, getting too immersed with the stalker thing.

Is it even possible to effectively use the knife? It seems to have a delayed swing which wreaks havoc with aiming it. And if you even get close enough to use it, your enemies are capable of machine gunning you down in 1 second flat. so whats the point?

>>111957095
Assassinations, boxes, crates, and for last stands when you run out of ammo of course.

>>111957095
>not knifing down every mutant you encounter

>>111956960
>Release of the approach! All of whom want to live burrows...

>>111957095

Crates, stashes, you can use the knife on the Controller, saves ammo, it has its uses STALKER, just remember that.

>>111956960
Woahohoho, the fuck is with that texture there all stretched out like that?

>>111956994
oh is that what that thing was....

well. fuck yeah then. wish i could have at least taken a trophy...

I made some OC

Please save it :3

I want to meet this man, and shake his hand. Anyone who goes into the zone with the name of Smartass deserves a handshake, and a nice bottle of vodka.

>In that case why would you be using a handgun for your second slot?

Because I fell in love with the Makarov.

Between my Makarov and my G36, I could handle any situation.

>>111956994
Uhh no, that happened to me. There was a chimera that I could have killed but chose not to do so, later it killed one of my bros that actually saved my life and I've spent some time cruising around with. I'ld tell you all about it but it's a long story, plus I've already posted it a few times before.

tl:dr; Kill all the mutants that you can, lest someone weaker than you comes across them

>>111957095
I knife down dogs for sport
I knife controllers
I knife when I do hitman missions
Yeah, the knife is effective

>>111957291
You've killed one of the Zone's deadliest mutants and possibly saved the lives of many stalkers. Is that not enough of a reward for you stalker?

>>111957291

The feeling of helping out rookies pass through with less trouble if your trophy, be glad. Remember, we are all in this together. Thank you for helping them.

>>111957271
Glitched corpse, way to fix it is to find the corpse, and try to drag it causing it to fly somewhere far away.
Unfortunately this corpse clips into a mountain so I have no fucking clue where it is.

>>111957095
Yeah but only in some occasions. Like if you sneak up on a zombie and it's sitting down

>>111957393
hey i like to take proof of what ive killed. you know, like how the predators take skulls from whatever they killed?

>>111957341

When do I start the quest-chain to get the "real" ending to SoC? I'm getting some X16 documents now, and I know I have to give something to someone, but iunno when or where that is.

>>111957655

I won't spoil the ending, but to get the "true" ending, DO NOT FOLLOW THE VOICE. DO NOT FOLLOW IT.

>>111957655
Can't remember exactly at which point. You'll be on your way to the real ending when you have a mission to talk to a stalker named Guide, after that you'll need to go back to Agroprom to Strelok's hideout and meet Doctor.

>>111957552

I used the Makarov mostly for dealing with weaker mutants, bandits and mercs. Combine that with the Honorary Makarovs double then normal durability and plentiful ammo and it was great for when I wanted to save my G36.

G36 for the bit stuff, Makarov for the small stuff.

>>111957655

>>111957866
Speaking of the wrong endings, what were your false ending stalkers? Mine was the rich one.

>not using the AK's

>>111957937

>>111957939

I found that the AKs sucked compared to the NATO guns.

>>111957937
I got "i wish the zone didn't exist" ending. Its too much of a pain in the ass to go back for the real ending, I want a new experience. I'm getting CoP.

>>111958000

I didn't.

But that's because I blew all of my money on an exoskeleton.

>>111958142
Absolutly fucking not. It protects amazingly twards bullets and pellets, but does NOTHING for everything else. Also, you can't sprint with an exoskeleton.

>>111958142

In SoC? Not sure, been awhile since I got one, if I remember, it isn't like the ones you get in CoP, it just lowers your stamina but gives you a higher weight limit.

Mandatory.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3hNRQzqltQ&feature=channel_video_title

>>111958197
In SoC at least I think the AKs suck. I cant hit shit with them. The bullets don't go anywhere near I'm aiming even when I'm standing still and using the scope. The nato guns are usually spot on.

Electro chimeras...good grief...they end up fucking everything up.

What's your way of dealing with them stalkers?

Good Hunting Stalker.

Guys I installed AMK and then I got "huehue system.ltx not found" error. What do.

>>111959261

Did you install it correctly? What version of STALKER do you have? Look at >>111952923 and follow the directions, maybe that'll help.

>>111959261
WHy would you let BRs reprogram your game?

>>111959422
I do think I have installed it correctly, back when I was on my desktop computer it did install with no problems.
Google says that in CLear Sky the problem is related to Asus, and my laptop is an Asus laptop. Could that be it?

>>111959540

Clear Sky? The mod is for SoC, not sure if CS has a AMK version, so I can't really help you.

>>111959540
>laptop
Pretty much this

I heard AMK is so brutally hard its not worth playing and the loading times are ridiculous, and you'll be staring at them most of the time.

>>111959634
but Vanilla SoC did run...

>>111959612
I know, it might have been useful as an info, I have SoC not CS.

>>111959638

It is brutally hard, and loading times are horrible at moments, but it's fun when you can stand up, and say you defeated something on master mode in AMK, each enemy is a chance at death, each blink could be your last, its that feeling of knowing how easily you can die, it gets the adrenaline pumping man.

>>111959638
Load times were okay for me and regarding the difficulty, cover your main ally, think before you go out into the zone, rarely shoot from the hip and don't hoard.

>>111960090

>mfw no snow in SoC

Wish there was.

>>111960157
Maybe we're lucky in Stalker 2?

>>111960184

Hopefully. Or maybe they'll have a mod that allows it. Seriously, how can you not have snow in Russia? It's the same as no fat people in America. BEFORE YOU START BITCHING AT ME I LIVE IN AMERICA AND I AM FAT, IF I CAN LAUGH AT MYSELF SO CAN YOU.

"-Start with SoC (of course!). Try without mods first! Look for mods later. Proper play order is SoC > (CS) > CoP.
-ZRP (Zone Reclamation Project) is a fine mod for 1st timers, as it does not change gameplay or graphics, only fixes errors in the game.

-AMK 1.4 for challenge, atmosphere and more content. Complete 2009 for visuals and slightly easier gameplay. LURK for total overhaul.
-Play on a high difficulty. Master is the best. Improves AI and gun-damage, to both ways.
-Disable crosshair. Trust me, you don't need it, you don't want to hip-fire unless targets are just a few meters away from you.

-Check your other Options and key-bindings! Read the Manual! These can teach you more than you'd imagine.
-In the beginning, choose to get "Brainwashed", this gives you a short tutorial.
-Read your in-game PDA often!

-In fights, always use cover. Stay low. Aim with your weapons. Set automatic guns to semi- or burst-mode for more accuracy.
-Aim for the head. From long distance aim to center mass.
-Select your ammo-type according the enemy. AP-rounds against most humans, regular ammo against mutants or less armored personnel.

-Don't hoard too much stuff with you. Vodka and food weight a ton, so don't have too much with you. Only loot what you need, or what you can sell quickly for some nice cash. Drop extra stuff to some stash to wait your return.
-Explore! You may find tons of free items, alternative routes and interesting things. Just remember to save often!"

Shadow Of Chernobyl: 1.0004 patch + Zone Reclamation Project 1.7 + Absolute Nature/Structures + Shaders Max + Darker Nights-mod OR Stalker Weather Overhaul 2.2.2. 3.1 is fine too, but I prefer 2.2's looks.

For 2nd playthrough, AMK1.4 + said graphical mods. Always on Master difficulty, or at least Veteran. Disabling the crosshair actually might help you to NOT try and snipe from the hip with crappy weapons.

long time fan of the series
wish it was more sandbox
wish metro 2033 was even a little sandbox : (

Q: What will be the biggest difference between S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and the previous games, if any?
A: In brief, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will offer new story, new set characters (with some good old ones) and, of course, the new engine powering it.

Q: Will there be more of a survival element to STALKER 2?
A:Yes.

Q:What features have been removed/compromised in the PC version due to the multiplatform release?
A:Since we develop primarily on PC, you won't see any compromises in the PC version. The key difference between the PC and console versions will be the beauty of graphics (meaning PC will offer more of visual effects).

Q:Will there be any new kinds of interaction with NPCs?
A: How do you mean? It's difficult to answer this one.

Q:Will Sidorovich be in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
A:I will refrain from answering this one for now.

Q:Will the faction wars return?
A:No.

Q:Will the interface (inventory, map, etc) on the pc version suffer (like other games have) by trying to cater for console systems?
A: No, whatsoever.

Q:Will there be any new mutants?
A:Yes.

Q:How many weapons will be in Stalker 2?
A:It's difficult to give the quantitative figure at this point.

Q:Which part of the zone will it take place? Or is it the zone at all?
A:We'll be locating the game in the triangle of CNPP, the cities of Chernobyl and Chernobyl 2 (where the huge antenna is located).

Q:Is Zone going to be a large single ?
A:Let's postpone this question for now.

Q:Will it support DX11?
A:Yes.

Q:Will we see more X-Labs and secret underground complexes?
A:Yes.

Q:Will GSC expand on the import-a-weapon feature introduced with Nimble, and allow players access to more varied and custom weapons from outside the Zone by importing them through specialist contacts?
A:We have some interesting new ideas on this matter.

Q:Will artifacts be something we can go out and transmute through Anomalies?
A:No. However, the area of artifact application will expand.

>>111960939
Those stalkers you murdered might have saved your ass countless times by clearing the road of mutants and whatnot.

>New interview (translation of a translation):

The development of STALKER 2 is at about 50% completion.

Early videos and screenshots will be revealed only 2 or 3 months before the release of the game. (Hopefully they're kidding.)

STALKER 2 will take place in a single, very large map, without loading times, and several different areas to cross. 50% of the map will consist of places already seen in previous episodes.

Strelok is the protagonist of the game, the player character.

The RPG aspect is even more present than in Call of Pripyat.

A port to the Xbox 360 is almost certain, but they are having more difficulty with the PS3 version. Regarding the latter, they will make a decision during 2012.

STALKER 2 might not have a multiplayer mode.

There will be no women in STALKER 2 (contradiction to what they said earlier).

During development, the emphasis is put on the sounds, animations, models, physics, and monsters. Sergiy also announced that there will be new weapons.

It may be possible to drive vehicles, but only to accomplish very specific quests.

The game will be moddable, as much as the previous ones.

The soundtrack of the game will be composed by MoozE, but not before the next 12 months.

Currently, 60 people are working on STALKER 2.

The budget for development is estimated at $3 million (it took 7 million for the first three episodes).

None of the first team to have worked on Oblivion Lost (the original project, not the mod) is left at GSC. Many of them left for 4A-Games to work on Metro 2033.

The rumor going around that STALKER 2 is going open source is false. It's originating from a Facebook Q/A where someone asked the devs whether SoC/CS/CoP will be open sourced after STALKER 2 is released, but the devs wouldn't even comment on that.

So I just downloaded Narodnaya Solyanka and it's working fine technically, but I can't get past the first 10 minutes of the game...

Interested in what inspired these awesome games (aside from the obvious, the Chernobyl disaster)?

1971 short story, "Roadside Picnic"

1979 movie, "Stalker"

Yes. It was nearly a sort of undead horse enemy, the model for which was created "just in case" and can be seen in some screenshots.

How IS Narodnaya Soljanka by the way?

>>111963870
Buggy, dick kickingly hard, with bullshit deaths everywhere, stutters worse than a man with Parkinson's, atrocious poorly translated text, and you won't get anywhere near to finishing the "300+ hours of content" they promise before you uninstall because you realized you're not having much fun.
But until then, it's pretty great! I'm liking it so far anyway, between the constant deaths and long loading times that is.

>>111964109

>Buggy, dick kickingly hard, with bullshit deaths everywhere

So basically AMK, but....With a different name.

>>111964109
Thanks. Honest, your the first person that's ever commented on the quality of the thing for me beyond simply saying "it gets better after the cave."

Me, I think I'll still keep to this:
http://pastebin.com/5XfARBAj

>>111964202
And considerably more content to explore, yes.

>>111964202
No, AMK is somewhat buggy and dick kickingly hard but RATIONAL to some extent. If you're careful, save often, and prepare yourself well you can make it through AMK even on Master pretty well.

Narodnaya Soljanka's difficulty is Roguelike amounts of bullshit, with absolutely random things taking you out.

It's so insane there's zero way to take it seriously.

>>111964320
And what are these random things you speak of? People keep on saying it's way to hard but they don't give any arguments as to why.

>>111964320

Good point, most of my deaths come from being stupid and not looking out for anomalies or while being out of cover. Still, it's shitty to have alot of good stuff, only to be taken out by three bullets of a weaker weapon.

>>111964468
Like you'll be walking through the Cordon starter area and a megastalker will come through and one shot you out of nowhere, or random anomalies will rip you to shreds, or you'll get like 50 dogs out of nowhere that fuck you up

>>111964695

>implying STALKER dad wouldn't knife him then and there

Getting hit by bolts = spanking, getting thrown into a anomaly = time out, death = grounded.

I just left Zaton. All in all I spent around 7 hours there. I could have spent more but I had already spent 17+ hours because of new games due to fucking up my game and fucking up mods.

Does anyone have an estimation of the ETA of the Misery mod? I reallly want to play it but knowing me the mod will come out just as I finish the game and I won't want to play it again so quickly.

>>111964320
... why couldn't they just give us AMK with the new areas and a handful of new quests in those areas to flesh them out?

OP here, I am amazed how far this has been going, usually my thread get one or two posts before getting killed off, thank you all.

>>111964854

Things you want in STALKER 2:

>>111965022

More emphasis on survival, throwing away a mag while it still has ammo in it throws away the ammo as well, possibly have to press R to reload the weapon instead of just pressing it, more need for cover, tents added, portal stash's.

>>111965071
Actually, it's the difficulty changes I balked at. Restoring content and allowing us into all parts of the Zone in a single game was excellent. I just don't get why the gameplay changes were necessary, at least not beyond what AMK already changed (generally for the better).

>>111965022
11:50 in the only time zone that matters.

Zones time zone.

>>111965171
What sort of eldritch secrets might be hidden in that room?

>>111964898
I should refrain from typing when I have just woken up.

>>111965022
More emissions, Radioactive rain, Acid rain, a hardcore mode setting that removes everything but the health and stamina meter and ammunition display like the Redux mod.

>>111965235

I guess they made AMK for people who prefer hard challanges in mind, not for new quests or anything, but still, I can agree it'd be cool to see some [possibly] new/cut quests in there.

>>111965345
Actually, while AMK has a huge draw with it's difficulty, the most impressive thing it does is the STALKER NPC interactions. Long games of AMK are incredible because micro-factions start forming over NPC's friendships and rivalries, with you being as involved as any NPC.

>>111965234

> throwing away a mag while it still has ammo in it throws away the ammo as well

That's actually a nice idea, I don't really remember alot of other games doing this.

>>111965411

Speaking of factions, how the hell do I join Duty in AMK? I'm a rookie, and I'm neutral with Duty, do I need to be friendly towards them to join?

>>111965521
You can join at the Bar at least. Some of the have the dialogue option available.

>>111965521
I think you need to advance the main quest in order to be eligible to join duty.

>>111965521
If memory serves, you need to talk to the Duty boss himself, so you'll have to do some of the storyline until you can actually go see him.

>Bicycles
Fuck vehicles, I want that. Hobo gear, vodka bottle in one hand, riding through the zone on my glorious bicycle trailing a pack of 15 pseudodogs, fuck yeah.

Should meantion it was in the Swamps which so far seems to be around Red Forest in terms of getting your dick hit with a hammer

>>111965022
Handcarts on tracks.
And smokeable marijuana plants, to smoke with Freedom bros.

>>111965907
You have to wonder how Stalkers satisfy their urge to fuck. They are only human

>>111966055
Bicycles sounds fun, but I think it would be fun to also have a larger overworld maybe STALKER motorcyclists or jeep drivers who escort you across long distances, only you actually have to ride in the jeep/sidecar and defend against mutants and dog packs and bandits.

Have you seen how filthy the mattresses are in every stalker camp?

I just got to Yanov station and decided to have a walk back to Zaton (Redux mod), so I set off along the road out of Yanov and see a big structure in the fog to my left. It looked like corn storage or something. Really tall.

Anyway, it had several people on top of it and they all started shooting at me. What in the actual fuck, who are those guys?!

>>111966173
there is some stupid small mod for CS that adds a joint in the game that you can use. Makes it disappear from your inventory and no effect on your char visually or otherwise sadly.

>>111966184
Vodka. It drowns the urge to fuck.

>>111965022
RADIOACTIVE CATS
Not mutated, just radioactive and luminous!

>>111966184
I've wondered loads of things. Like hygiene. Ass wiping I guess can be done with bandages, even with hardmode mods you end up with more than you need.

Showering and soap is another thing. Getting soap should be simple enough, but finding clean water not so much.

>>111966463
Some extremely rare artifact allows you to tame a cat and make it walk 10m in front of you for anomaly detection.
>>111966563
You don't need particularly clean water to sort of wash. Stalkers are a rough bunch anyway.

Imagine a trip to the zone with /v/ stalkerbros...

Good God...

>>111966363
zombified stalkers

RATATATATATA

>>111966563
They bathe in vodka

>"ugh...Ok guys, we need to head to Bar before the next blowout, but in order to do that we need to-TOM, STOP TRYING TO FUCK THAT BLOODSUCKER! TO-Oh god dammit...NO RAY, JUST LEAVE HIM. Mike, we don't care if you won't get a girl, we need to focus on our survival, for the last time hank, stop saying 2011 and someone's action, you're not green texting. AND FOR FUCKS SAKE CAN SOMEONE KILL THAT 15 YEAR OLD KID, HE KEEPS SHOUTING MEMES."

>>111966563
Baby wipes. They come in packs of 100. You don't need to shower, just use half a wipe to clean your ass and the other half to clean your dick once every 3 days or so. And use one to wipe your ass after taking a shit.

>>111966792
Everyone would have died from exhaustion or trolling with guns

>>111966811
All the way up there? Dayum, they looked so normal.

I should have guessed they were zombies seeing as how their shots all missed.

>Implying radiation didn't kill the bacteria in the Zone years ago
>Implying dirt, blood, and mud aren't an inevitability to Stalkers that they've accepted ages ago and no longer see the point of cleaning off save occasionally, unless they go in and out of the Zone like Red in "Roadside Picnic."

I lol'd.
