No anon, I've never heard of this obscure game you speak of

Had to force myself to learn how to properly mod this game cause vanilla S.t.a.l.k.e.r. games are ass.

Stalker the game made me interested in stalker the movie which made me interested in roadside picnic.

Being able to find supply caches but they are empty until you stumble upon PDA marking their location is one of the worst design decisions I have experienced in a game.

no, but I ree watched the movie lately…

What did you think?

Bad shooter and a bad RPG. Played the game a lot myself and the only things I could say are that the aesthetics and gunplay aren’t the worst when bugs aren’t rampant but my honest praise for the game ends there. Role playing wise, the game is shallow because due to engine limitations and map size constraints, you cannot get very far with the role playing mechanics, and the exploration mechanics that do exist aren’t meaningful. The game also is very old and some things that shouldn’t be issues in this game still persist which would include awkward ADS mechanics, floaty recoil behaviour, and limited bullet range.

Same, but watching the tarkovsky movie made me interested in Jesus instead

>>45206
I like the part where Jesus and the apostles marching into the center of the zone to get a wish.

Are you the guy who tried to mod NV desert full of empty ruins

>>45210
those are called miracles in the bible, bestie

>>45230
Yes, and the mod did work surprisingly well. I just cannot take the amount of crashing issues I initially had with it. The issue got fixed, but I still don’t want to release the mod regardless because there’s two major mods for NV that are came out

Long 15 and dry wells together effectively tripled the size of the games map. There’s other worldspace mods that affect that games issues with its map size which combined quintuple the maps size. I feel that introducing more worldspace mods is overkill at that point.

My curiosity and pattern recognitionisms have been satisfied, thank you

>>45234
Your welcome. Check out nexus for dry wells and long 15. The mods got released and triple the games base map size

Playing Stalker Anomaly because Stalker 2 is apparently anti-soviet and piece of shit in general

>>45195
I played it for the first time about 6 months ago. Got the "bad" ending and was then too lazy to go back and keep playing for the other endings. It felt like a weird cross between Half Life 1 and Fallout 3. It was very linear, but also kind of "open world." There's factions but it's super easy to permanently piss them off. Duty was on my ass every time I was in the Bar area and I had to save scum and keep killing them until there was a mountain of corpses outside the bar. I didn't like all the backtracking to do side quests, which for me is the main thing I usually do in games like this. I did like the realism of the firefights which was ahead of its time. Guns felt correctly inaccurate from a distance and taking out random unaligned stalkers in their little hideouts was riveting. The anomalies were sometimes interesting but usually really annoying. I found myself selling the artifacts instead of wearing them, because I preferred to have a lot of guns and health packs.
