S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series Megathread: Horseradish Carnage Suit edition. - Games

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20052257]I liked the version without color better, it's more legible. Also, I see nothing wrong with an 8.0 for COP. Too many reviewers think of the 1-10 scale like a grade in school--anything below a 7 is a fail. Not so--an average game should score 5/10, a much better than average one 7/10, etc. However, the mindset seems to be "if I give it a 6.5 everyone will think it sucks, better waffle about and give every game something in the 8-9 range," which makes the whole 10-point scale meaningless.[/QUOTE] True, but the problem is if you jump to that after having made so many reviews the other way it's pointless, as everyone thinks you *are* saying they're all bad. You have to start off doing it that way, not jump to it in the middle.

as much as I want to play tihs fucking piece of shit beta iT WONT FUCKING WORK AND WHEN I TRY TO START IT I HAVE TO FUCKING RESTART MY COMPUTER BECAUSE IT DISABLES MY FUCKING CONTROLS.

Apparently, you don't need to keep the disc in once CoP has loaded :downs:

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;20054494]Apparently, you don't need to keep the disc in once CoP has loaded :downs:[/QUOTE] most games are like that now

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;20054308]:350:[/QUOTE] :2bong: Lets have another huff, he was a good S.T.O.N.E.R.

I just want to be able to buy it somehow. Fuck you Viva Media.

[QUOTE=Makol;20054508]most games are like that now[/QUOTE] no, it always asks me to put the disc in when I run CoP.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;20054536]no, it always asks me to put the disc in when I run CoP.[/QUOTE] I know, what I meant is that once the game is running you are able to take the disc out.

So has anyone seen duty and freedom skirmishes in cop?

[QUOTE=seano12;20054660]So has anyone seen duty and freedom skirmishes in cop?[/QUOTE] Nope.

[QUOTE=Amez;20054721]Nope.[/QUOTE] Are there any? Cause someone has been telling me they've seen groups of stalkers have skirmishes with mutants/bandits.

I heard skirmishes while wondering about but never saw them. BUT on one occasion I head: "EAT THIS COCK SUCKER!!!" then a grenade went off and I saw a Freedom body fly in the air. It was weird and funny at the same time. At first I thought they were talking to me so I began to panic and run in circles.

Today some chick at school called me a stalker and told me to "Go away". I laughed fucking hard.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;20054867]Today some chick at school called me a stalker and told me to "Go away". I laughed fucking hard.[/QUOTE] That sounds... Kind of sad.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;20054867]Today some chick at school called me a stalker and told me to "Go away". I laughed fucking hard.[/QUOTE] You shoulda told her to come in and don't just stand there.

Anyone who has the Steam Clear Sky know how to extract system.ltx? Total Faction Warfare doesn't come with one and I need it for a weight mod.

[QUOTE=seano12;20054807]Are there any? Cause someone has been telling me they've seen groups of stalkers have skirmishes with mutants/bandits.[/QUOTE] But remember that Duty and Freedom are neutral with eachother, which is absolutely stupid. Ruins a good part of the game for me.

I've seen STALKERs fight with bandits. But I think there are too few Freedom around to ever meet another Duty squad.

Ok well I sent another message to Steam, this time asking for help running the game instead of making bargains with them... Hope I get a faster response. Unless any of you want to tell my why my game invariably crashes on startup

[QUOTE=Amez;20055028]But remember that Duty and Freedom are neutral with eachother, which is absolutely stupid. Ruins a good part of the game for me.[/QUOTE] Wrong-o. They're neutral inside Yanov station, but outside they'll shoot each other readily enough. Also, regarding bandits: You can knock off as many as you want, they're not 'organized' per se so there's no problem. I think people may have some wrong ideas abotu how factions interact in Call of Pripyat. Conflicts are still here: Duty fights Freedom, Loners fight Bandits, etc. You're just a neutral party, so for the most part they don't attack you.

The vehicle park in Garbage makes for excellent artifact hunting grounds once you kill all the bandits.

OH GOD WHAT. I got Freedom to send a squad over to [sp]talk to the rogue Monolith squad[/sp] and they GUNNED THEM ALL DOWN. THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, GUYS

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20055369]OH GOD WHAT. I got Freedom to send a squad over to [sp]talk to the rogue Monolith squad[/sp] and they GUNNED THEM ALL DOWN. THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, GUYS[/QUOTE] how did you get them to do that? neither Duty or Freedom trust me so I can't do a thing.

xrengine.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION at 001B:4F505245 Clear Sky keeps crashing to the desktop for no reason. Goddamnit. I'm almost to the end and it pulls this shit. I tried fixing the g.script file and system.ltx. Shit didn't work.

[QUOTE=Makol;20055385]how did you get them to do that? neither Duty or Freedom trust me so I can't do a thing.[/QUOTE] Not sure what I did. They just turned green at some point, so they're best buds with me. But, what the fuck? I can't even talk to the Monolith squad leader and his men open fire as soon as the Freedom dudes show up. It's like they're a normal Monolith squad that's only neutral towards me :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Makol;20055409]maybe they're suppose to be? the plot thickens...[/QUOTE] Fuck it, I'll just do the mission for Duty that lets me recruit for THEM instead. Maybe it will work that way.

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20055422]Fuck it, I'll just do the mission for Duty that lets me recruit for THEM instead. Maybe it will work that way.[/QUOTE] try that, let me know how it goes. I'm confused as hell about how to get either side to like me :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Makol;20052300]you have no idea how happy I am right now :buddy: have a heart [editline]06:51PM[/editline] it didn't work, CoP works fine but I"m too lazy to take the disk in and out :saddowns:[/QUOTE]Then get a no-cd/dvd image and mount it. I''d rather not get a cracked exe due to the fact that it will be patched. [editline]12:49AM[/editline] In unrelated news: I started a game of Total Factional Warfare on CS, join Duty. I go to Building A to take it over. I kill all the militaries. And guess who I meet there? One psuedogiant and a couple dozen dogs. Miraculously there were ladders around that I could use. I called back-up and got out safely, only to be killedl ater by radiation. The ironic part, is just as I died of radiation I found a jellyfish artifact. [editline]12:49AM[/editline] My last save also dates back when I started fighting the damn psuedogiant

God damnit, it keeps crashing. I just wanted to go fight for Freedom. :C
