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

Yeah CoP needs some serious overhaul mods, new weapons and all that. SMRTER wasn't too great, and Redux is good but I still wanted new weapons :frown:.

[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;22758117] and CoP is just dumb[/QUOTE] Whoa whoa whoa back the fuck up, what?

I think that if SMP would have high quality icons, it wouldn't fit on my partition on which SoC is. Icons everywhere in this bitch! [editline]10:34PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Muertos13;22758248]woooooooo just cleared out the military base in Cordon got me a -74 and a bizon, let's go kick agroprom's ass[/QUOTE] Didn't got chased by the Hind all the way to Garbage? Also, I think that somebody has to replace Kovaslky's "To the helicopters, go go!" with Arnold's "GET TO DA CHOPPA"

[QUOTE=Melnek;22758254]Whoa whoa whoa back the fuck up, what?[/QUOTE] It's boring. They put anomalies in little branches that are easy as fuck to get artifacts from, there is no threat of hostiles except for mutants which are easily to kill with a shotgun, zombies who are stupid and some monolith/merc type. The textures are ugly, there are hardly any buildings except for pripyat which is empty... Once you upgrade your gun you're fucking unstopable (redux is an exception). There's nothing to do when you beat the game. Call of Pripyat would've been awesome if they would have implemented a small co-operative. (2 players) I have played it through 3 times and the only time I liked it was the first time.

Lurk 1.1 should have had it like this : Find the holden kill the holden steal lurk 1.1 then you realize you are holden

[QUOTE=Amez;22758252]Yeah CoP needs some serious overhaul mods, new weapons and all that. SMRTER wasn't too great, and Redux is good but I still wanted new weapons :frown:.[/QUOTE] Well considering that LURK took ages to get an awesome mod, it sure will take some time until we get some kickass mods. But until then [I]Redux[/I] is your best bet, well and maybe [I]SMRTER[/I] and [I]Dade's CoP mod[/I].

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;22757946]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.[/QUOTE] No problem stalker, just be sure to read my posts, as I am currently trying to put all the issues I can find on LURK here, so you can fix them and then we all can have a even better experience =)

contributing towards thread lock. Also, i wish the next stalker game was put in the hands of more competent developers with a much, much larger budget. As long as it's not also being put in the hands of a greedy publisher (Activision, Ubisoft, EA) that rush things, we could have a GOTY Stalker game. Eh, one can hope. Edit: Actually, 4A Games (the dudes that made Metro 2033) should go back to GSC game world, or at least work cooperatively with them to make the next stalker game. Metro 2033's engine and polish in Stalker setting = instant win.

The military stormed the Cordon base and I made a pretty hefty profit. Not many rookie stalkers died, although Nimble seems to have kicked it. And I had nothing to do with the military storming the base. Not me. At all.

What I love most about LURK is that the weapons don't feel like bb guns. Sure I die fast, but in Complete 2009 I still was going through 2-3 Ak74 mags for a bandit at 50yards.

It doesn't HAVE to be all of those things. The zone can also be beautiful at some parts and places, Plus everybody wanted STALKER to have coop ever since SoC came out, and the lust for it just grew bigger and bigger with every new stalker game that was released. There are plenty of things to do after you beat a game, if you haven't completed the side quests and all that. I agree with you that Pripyat is pretty boring and exploration is 80% of the time useless. Also what do you mean by "there is no threat of hostiles except for mutants which are easily to kill with a shotgun"? That can pretty much be said to any STALKER game, CoP doesn't hold an exception in this. And yes, once you upgrade your gun you are unstoppable, then again what do you expect? they wanted you to feel rewarded and satisfied that you spent thousands of rubles on a rifle, so you could have great advantages in combat. I have no idea why you disliked the game, but to each his own I suppose.

Real stalkers play on master. Queue next revision of joke....

One more page STALKERS.

[QUOTE=Thomo;22757939]Duty mechanic does it if you give him all the info stuff and danke or it's the PKM he does i'm not sure.[/QUOTE] Nah, it's the PKM he wants the information for, his specialty is assault rifles and machineguns anyway, so he can't upgrade suits at all. The Guy at Neutral Base could upgrade SEVA suit but not exoskeleton, don't know why, I have completed all of his data gathering missions. The guy at freedom base is not much use either, same goes for the folks at the Apgropom. I have to try the flea market when that lazy ass mechanic gets his fat butt off the bed.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;22758892]Real stalkers play on master. [/QUOTE] There's only been 2 times I haven't played stalker on the hardest difficulity: 1. When I played Lurk the first time and I was in Pripyat in that sports place with the RPGs, holy fuck it was insane, sniper-rocket launchers 2. CS when you're supposed to shoot [sp]Strelok[/sp] with the weird rifle with shitload of monolithians everywhere.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;22758892]Real stalkers play on master.[/QUOTE] [I]REAL[/I] Real stalkers play on Wizard.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;22758984] 2. CS when you're supposed to shoot [sp]Strelok[/sp] with the weird rifle with shitload of monolithians everywhere.[/QUOTE] That had to be the worst part in a game.

Play on master... otherwise you are a cheeky breeky.

Real stalkers play on Badass mode where the bloodsuckers are 30 ft tall and shoot rpgs out of their tentacles.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;22758892]Real stalkers play on master.[/QUOTE] Never played WIZARD? You don't know shit about stalker :colbert:

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;22759224]Never played WIZARD? You don't know shit about stalker :colbert:[/QUOTE] I put on my robe and wizard hat... and go to play CoP on the hardest difficulty.

Contributing towards thread lock so I can stop feeling guilty about posting in the new thread. also [insert generic stalker reference/joke]

We seriously gotta close this thread.

I thought this would be locked by now. [editline]09:59PM[/editline] Quickly, spam!

R.I.P. Kostya Polar Explorer he was a good thread...

Let's do it [editline]01:02AM[/editline] Don't just stand there, I said spam!

I'm not that in the loop about this stuff, what's the story behind the thread title of this thread anyway?
