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

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;22173723]... 1,020,000 rubles? :psypop: [editline]09:55PM[/editline] [img]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2631/wuthm.jpg[/img] This guys been down and probably bleeding to death for like a day now. I think i'll leave him :sax:[/QUOTE] Sick bastard. Just pull out your makarov and put a 9x18 in his skull already. And yes 1,020,000 rubles. Easy if you just keep selling G36s to Barkeep.

I need to investigate the Pripyat 1 underpass in the Jupiter plant. Is there anything in the plant I need to worry about? I don't want to get jumped by a Burer or a Pseudogiant... :tinfoil:

Is it normal to rage when you find out someone finished SHoC in five hours? And also if people ask if DooM/Hexen/Heretic/Etc are abandonware? And also when people ask if a GBA game is abandonware? :colbert:

Kinda off-topic but nobody ever asks me that [editline]10:54PM[/editline] And there'll be a burer or two in Jupiter Plant

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;22173635]SoC's atmosphere makes me go all :smith:[/QUOTE] SoC was scary in the beginning/middle because it was almost the first horror/survival game I'd played. I'm about 13 hours into Clear Sky, and maybe I'm used to it, but it does not scare me at all or even mess with me. I have yet to come across any mutants besides a boar. I hope soon I am forced to shit my pants. ClearSky feels more like a first person Strategy game than anything right now.

And also when people ask if a GBA game is abandonware? :colbert:[/QUOTE] Only if it's someone's first time playing. It drives me insane when people first get a game and rush through it SIMPLY to say, "Hey, derp I beat it already. Suck my dick." All my friends on steam are like, "When the fuck are you going to finish Stalker. Jesus, You've played like 15 hours in it." I'm like... :byodood:

[QUOTE=Zackin5;22174634]Is it normal to rage when you find out someone finished SHoC in five hours?[/QUOTE] I've finished it in five hours. :smug: ... okay seriously, the biggest thing I find interesting about SHOC is the story. yeah, the gameplay's great and all that, but I really see no reason to stick around for long. artifacts are too easy to find in SHOC, the sidequests suck, and every bit of ammo I spend on something not related to advancing the plot seems like ammo wasted. so I just go through the story. oh I do pick up any and every artifact I can find until I can barely move and sell it all for 10,000+ Rubles so I can get better weaponry and armor, but it's not the prime focus for my playthroughs. the prime focus is getting through the plot and seeing the Marked One's story unfold. is it really that rage-worthy to like the plot better than the interesting longevity-increasing sidestuff? (or in SHOC's case, the lack thereof) COP had better Side Quests and Artifact mechanics, IMHO.

I just lost myself in ShoC. After Agroprom I was like "what now?" and the game just said "that's up to you.". The first time this happened I dropped IRL shit and just started exploring the army warehouses. Then worked my way closer to the NPP, turned back and went through X18, Yantar, Dark valley and so on. I ended up back at Sid. I was like "FUCK YEAH MAN THE ZONE ROCKS THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!" :buddy: [editline]07:15AM[/editline] Then Sid was all like "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BRINGING ME ALL THIS CRAP FOR?!"

I keep playing ShoC, becuase verywhere I go, this is playing, and it sums up Zone life perfectly: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCNlqMgnvo[/media]

I was folder-spelunking yesterday in LURKs folders. Oh man looks like it has the whole Oblivion Lost mod still there, lotsa useless weapons etc. It's pretty ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22177625]Nice song, and the whole SMP is filled with useless stuff.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but at least they are taking their time to work on every issue in SMP 2.5 and maybe the useless files and spaces on the ui_equipment.

Hey guys! I've lost all interest in my Clear Sky comic and it's not progressing a bit. Instead Imma make a comic about my funniest assassination mission in OL (I play as an assassin there, collecting names).

[QUOTE=Thorny;22178344]I lol'd at that image, again. Also, I try and keep unnecessary files down in Redux, to save on file-size :3[/QUOTE] Yeah I was shocked too see the BETA's size!

That's mainly because the beta used graphics mods as well - v1.0 will come in two flavours, one with nothing but the Redux stuff, and secondly one with a load of different mods that enhance it all a lot, integrated :)

I wish there was a spawner that worked well with Redux. I'm too lazy to go through the game just to test the guns.

Also, I've been thinking of desinging a few Stalker-themed suits on the paper, most of them would be based off of the game art and I think that it could be possible to implement them in some sort of a mod if I'd just get aroud to learn how to model things.

I think that my old rush tactic is plain simple, just rush as fast as Hell, don't loot, when you reach traders buy only medkits and additional ammo, don't save Kruglov, don't talk with Skull, don't defend the barrier, don't talk to Guide, follow only the main road in Red Forest, rush through DUGA-3 and X10(hardest part IMO) and then you just rush through Pripyat and CNPP hoping you won't run into a Monolith patrol.

Speedrunning is useless. You gotta enjoy the game, not run through it as fast as possible.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22180346]Speedrunning is useless. You gotta enjoy the game, not run through it as fast as possible.[/QUOTE] Yea, it ruins the immersion and the fun parts of the game. Which reminds me that you can finish CoP in at least a few hours.
