S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: R.I.P. Kostya Polar Explorer

[Raiskauskone]

Where the fuck is that maggot mechanic who upgrades Exoskeletons in Clear Sky? Been looking all over the place, the guy at neutral camp can't upgrade them either.

And Thomo, I see what you did with one of my avatars I created.
I approve

PP-93 sights need some fixin holden, I know it's low priority but damn I can't see the front sights.

The M4A1's front sight isn't there either, and the Bofors AK5 front sight is almost invisible, it's fucking 0.001 mm thick. And the NPCs carry Galils retardedly.
There's a lot of fixing but it's still fun.

[Amez]

Lurk 1.1 isn't too bad, but it needs some ironing out. Other than that I find it outright enjoyable.

However you guys do need some more or better beta testers.

Indeed, how did Holden not notice some of the bugs.
Also why are my shotguns frigging inaccurate? I got the mossberg or whatever and the spread of the pellets is ridicilous, making it useless at over 5 meter range.

More or less yeah.

[Zezibesh]

Well back then yes, now it's pretty good.

[Caarle..]

Also the recoil in 7.62x39 makes it useless to shoot even 2 shot bursts :I
And the recoil gets stuck, well, you know, I don't know how to describe it but when you change weapon the screen gets kinda centered.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;22757372]Well back then yes, now it's pretty good.[/QUOTE]

With shotguns(atleast for me) it's like that. My friend said that they're pretty accurate but mine aren't :frown:

[Raiskauskone]

In reality the spread valley is actually x10 more thinner, the inaccuracy that comes is mostly from the recoil, unbalance from recoil and the blast. Then lastly, from the not-so-tight parts that makes AK47 so reliable.

In short; how steadily you can hold the gun while shooting is how accurate it is. No sword is deadlier than it's user is with it

[Caarle..]

Now I feel empty, I have all my favourite weapons in LURK and I remember all the missions inside out. And I haven't even yet got to the first lab.

[croguy]

Already at the bar in 1.1. I must say, those 80000RU I made are quite useless, since currency balance is far diffrent, and things are more expensive than before. I saw no game breaking glitches or anything terrible, apart from the fact that enemies spot you a bit more diffrently than the old ones and that the bandit jacket is overpowered.

Also, shut up about blowouts, once they catch you in a place like Red Forest, Garbage and Army Warehouses, [u][i]you're fucked.[/u][/i] Garbage has only two safe spots which are unreachable in a good time period, Army Warehouse area has too large distance away from the only safe areas, and Red Forest is a total deathtrap because of the huge anomaly and mutant count, plus the fact that nearly every spot that barely seems to be safe is guarded by Monolith veterans tends to turn down players from beating the game because after you get the most difficult and challenging things thrown at you, there just has to be an event you can't hide from that kills you instantly. That's why GSC removed blowouts from the vanilla game, and those were damn good reasons.

Answer thisssssssssssssssssss before I start poking your eyes with a knife

[Crest]

I played about an hour of LURK, and I love it. one or two glitches, but I'm loving Holdens interpretation of STALKER. Having finished SOC Twice over the past couple months, it's nice to see it how someone else imagines it.

I think some people forget his big essay of reasoning with this mod.

[junker154]

Good points you explained. Can't wait it's 90 %.

[croguy]

Yea, people expected this to be similar to vanilla. Holden himself stated that 1.1's mechanics are nothing like vanillas, let alone those of 1.05.

Your avatar matches perfectly.

[holdenmcclure]

You guys have to complete the vanilla arena missions before starting the new arena.

You have to delete your previous installation before putting 1.1 on the top.

I gotta get to work so I won't be here very often.

I like changes, mods are awesome because they can change gameplay totally different, Redux was really awesome in that way. Everything pretty realistic, well LURK is in that similiar category.

[Paravin]

Well comrades we need to put this thread out of its misery.

[croguy]

Well, about 80 posts left, stalkers. Let's do it. For the Strelok!

*obligatory stalkerish spam to fill the thread*

[Beacon]

This was a good thread.

[MagicBurrito]

I haven't really said this before but

I find playing STALKER very boring, as I've played SHOC completely over 12 times, including most side quests, not much to do in Clear Sky because of my faction mod which goes "YOU JUST LOST THE TERRITORY YOU CAPTURED 5 MINUTES AGO LOL SIDE QUEST YOU WERE WORKING ON CANCELED"

and CoP is just dumb

[MagicBurrito]

But LURK 1.1 has a very lovely display, and I'm enjoying the animations and such so far. Not many issues except when I look up at the sky you can see the color pixels changing and moving..

[editline]01:28PM[/editline]

One thing I experience that really ruins my fun in Stalker is:

1. Download STALKER mod
2. Get halfway
3. Standalone update comes out
4. Restart, get half way.
5. New glorious mod comes out

CYCLE REPEATS FFFFUUUUUUUU-

I'm getting extremely bored of SoC, CS is just shit, I can't stand it and CoP feels nice, it just needs some mods.

I was expecting it to be well off vanilla so I won't have to replay all of the stuff I already did or just a have a new STALKER experience yet I've got pretty much the same shit but with some stuff that shouldn't have been changed in the first place, like the interface for example. Almost all of the icons are low quality, look awkward and look pretty bad overall.

Lol at all the comments which say Stalker is getting boring and such. General depression, fight it!

Yeah the icons are a bit cheap, makes it feel like SMP (trololo)

[editline]11:30PM[/editline]

But the amount of weapons and stuff in 1.1 is just awesome.

[Muertos13]

woooooooo

just cleared out the military base in Cordon

got me a -74 and a bizon, let's go kick agroprom's ass
