S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Stalkers raving in the face of danger - Games

Those errors result from a lack of playtesting unfortunately. This is why we have beta-testing :P

So, Thorny, have you thought about giving zombies Poltergeist behavior (aka will only attack you if you move as fast as shit)? I remember some mod adding this to dogs.

Nope :P Also, had 14 great entries to the Conversation Contest - remember you can enter multiple times to increase your chances :)

Lurk / Redux soon fellow stalkers?

Oh man, this has to be the funniest thing that has happened to me in stalker. I was going with Max to kill the dutyers at the farmstead. I ran to the farmstead already and waited the slow bastards to come. Then I notice someone saying in the stalker-net or whatever: "Funny thing, noticed a body of a stalker named Max, he missed the mosquito bald anomaly." AMK's stalker-net is great.

There's probably a 'wpn\wpn_crosshair_4-dot' or 'wpn\wpn_crosshair_4-dot-amk' in there that is the one you want.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22162308] Also whose idea it was to have the gasmasks shit right on the weapons sight, jesus fucking christ the makers of this mod were idiots and geniouses at the same time.[/QUOTE] You can turn off those effects on the menu.

Oh shit, on my way to kill Borov, I was sneaking into the bandit base and suddenly the ground starts shaking. Hell of a storm at the time, I thought this was some new effect, then I noticed a dead pseudogiant in front of the pit. I scouted a round a litle, following the shaking, and there was the pseudogiant, avenging it's dead comrade, kicked the shit out of several bandits then chased me, all this time the storm raged on, and then it crashed. :(

Oh I just remember, we were talking about women in the zone... well how about black and asian stalkers? Of course they would be a like a small percentage of the NPCs since eastern countries are most populated by caucasians. At least they could be mercs... or ecologists... or both!

AMKs dialogue touches on that, saying that there were some, but after a lot of accidents no one wanted anything to do with it.

A black merc, or ecologist, sure. Asian eco, why not. I just don't see either as common stalkers, since common stalkers are from eastern europe.

I'm expecting mercs to be mostly Americans and Western Europeans in the next game, and that ecologists would be a mixture of Germans, Russians, Ukrainians and some guys between those countries. I'd like to see more variety in the country of origins rather than in surnames of the stalkers.

Oh my god guys check what has been revealed: a relic from the better times! [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=220993[/url] [editline]11:01PM[/editline] [url]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1022014977734331749&q=stalker#[/url]

So, I think I'll install Stalker Complete 2009.

Holy shit, I remember that trailer. Reading the megathread and watching that make me sad SHOC wasn't as good as it was going to be :(

which stalker should i buy? i already bought clear sky on release day and it was so shit and buggy that i gave up after the first level (kept crashing my comp)

but should i play the first one to get a feel for the story or what? doesnt CoP take place just after SoC?

yeah it does, so I would get SoC too. the atmosphere of SoC > CoP, but the gameplay of CoP > SoC.

[QUOTE=Thorny;22165199]Holy shit, I remember that trailer. Reading the megathread and watching that make me sad SHOC wasn't as good as it was going to be :([/QUOTE] It's great that in the end, it turned out to be really fun after all. Usually games just suck when so many features get cut. [editline]11:37PM[/editline] The story doesn't matter that much. It's more about the journey.

CoP was like Clear Sky but a lot more polished.

Yeah that's what I said :P

I feel like an alien, I seem to be the only one that doesn't enjoy vanilla CoP. :(

You feel like a Mexican?

The atmosphere in ShoC is not only threatening but flat out terrifying.

[QUOTE=famasfanalt;22167387]Go back to your final level of CS you![/QUOTE] I don't like any of the vanilla STALKER games. xD

countless hours of therapy out the door, thanks famasfanalt
