S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - We have death during loading - does Minecraft? - Games

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Happy_Easter_Fellow_Stalkers.png[/img] Vodka for everyone!

Am I the only one who noticed that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has kind of a not-so-subtle environmental message?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;29403882]It really irritates me, that makarovs can be so ridiculously accurate, but enemies with automatic weapons are far less likely to hit (as is the player).[/QUOTE] Shouldn't all weapons be rather accurate while firing a single shot? If a gun is working properly the bullets always fly to where the barrel is pointing to, then drift a little depending on wind and distance. The recoil is what makes weapons inaccurate.

I don't get why the AK74 in LURK has so much recoil it immediately goes to the sky when I fire it, yet the abakan has as much recoil as my USP.

[QUOTE=kaine123;29404957]Am I the only one who noticed that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has kind of a not-so-subtle environmental message?[/QUOTE] Really? Since it didn't affect me, I think having the Zone in real life would be pretty cool, if only for the scientific advances it would provide.

I hate the stupid weapon accuracy in Clear Sky the most. The unmodded assault rifles [I]never[/I] fire the first shot where my iron sight is aiming.

An automatic rifle should, in comparison, always hit on at least the first shot.

The only problem that assault rifles have is the recoil making the shots inaccurate, making all the follow up bullets miss the spot the first one hit. And I'm preety damn sure that every stalker in The Zone is capable of handling a Warsaw Pact weapon well enough to not miss the first shot.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;29405129]Really? Since it didn't affect me, I think having the Zone in real life would be pretty cool, if only for the scientific advances it would provide.[/QUOTE] Except for the whole part about the zone spreading and eventually covering the whole globe.

[QUOTE=kaine123;29405329]Except for the whole part about the zone spreading and eventually covering the whole globe.[/QUOTE] Not if Strelok has anything to do about it. Or Duty.

[QUOTE=kaine123;29405329]Except for the whole part about the zone spreading and eventually covering the whole globe.[/QUOTE] Considering that Strelok knows how to destroy The Zone and that every scientist from Japan to Ukraine apparently knows about his actions in the zone and his position in containing it I'm sure they'll find a solution on how to stop it. If his survival at the end of Operation Fairway was actually canon, that is. Other than that we can't really confirm that it's growing or not, but it's certainly going out of control. Then again, if Strelok sacrificed himself to the C-Counciousness everyone would become ultra communists now. But look on the bright side! We got the cure for cancer and a way to refine artifacts into power sources!

Duty are nationalistic pricks who think waving a gun at everything is the best way to fix any problem. So far, the Zone has done nothing but expand.

We all know what faction is where its a-[b] ALL GLORY TO THE MONOLITH [/b]

Clear Sky 4 lyfe Holy shit I havn't posted here since forever

[QUOTE=Blaberry;29406014]Duty are nationalistic pricks who think waving a gun at everything is the best way to fix any problem. So far, the Zone has done nothing but expand.[/QUOTE] Freedom are hippie pricks who think pretending to care for the zone is the best way to fix any problem.

Clear Sky or Freedom.

Clear Sky is dead, Freedom got it's ass fucked in SoC, Duty bitches about everything, Loners didn't organize anything big since 2011, Bandits fell apart into several organizations, Ecologists are pussies, Monolith is loosing territory and Military got Strelok.

Is it bad that I have an ATI 5850 but I can't run anything with DX11 for shit? CoP, clear sky, bad company 2, homefront, metro 2033... My processor (probably getting old..) is a Phenom II x4 940 @3ghz, planning on overclocking but I need a cooler of some sort. And 4gb ddr2 RAM.

more like "duty doesn't accomplish anything"

I can play Metro 2033 with DirectX 10, let alone DirectX 11. Be right back, installing Metro 2033 again.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;29406367]more like "duty doesn't accomplish anything"[/QUOTE] The only factions that really did anything were Ecologists, Military (though they got fucked over when they did stuff), and Clear Sky

It's not like monolith ever does someth- [B]ALL GLORY TO THE MONOLITH![/B]

[QUOTE=Tinter;29406434]It's not like monolith ever does someth- [B]ALL GLORY TO THE MONOLITH![/B][/QUOTE] They shoot you in the face and worship a rock. Not really anything beneficial to stalkers.

Yeah, it's not like a certain faction is defending all the rookies and the bar from a storm of monolith in the army warehouses. Notice how there were lots of monolith in army warehouses in CS, when only a small squad of loners were defending the barrier. Then some certain faction came in and wiped the dangerous fanatics out of the warehouses.

[B]NON-BELIEVER OF GREATEST FACTION IN WHOLE ZONE! YOU ARE THE POISON KILLING THE ZONE! YOU MUST BE SLAIN![/B]

Hey does anyone know if Stalker Complete 2009 for SOC has the Wish Granter feature? I feel like spawning a lot of Bloodsuckers in Cordon and the Garbage to see what happens.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;29406384]The only factions that really did anything were Ecologists, Military (though they got fucked over when they did stuff), and Clear Sky[/QUOTE] Ecologists required help from Duty, Military and Loners to operate properly. Military has great troops and equipment but a lack of organizations that lead to disasters. Clear Sky couldn't hold off basic cannon fodder and everyone in the faction died at the end of CS, so you might as well as rule them out from being counted as a faction.

[QUOTE=simazzarome;29406514]Hey does anyone know if Stalker Complete 2009 for SOC has the Wish Granter feature? I feel like spawning a lot of Bloodsuckers in Cordon and the Garbage to see what happens.[/QUOTE] It doesn't.
