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

For me what makes stalker good is the bugs and atmosphere

Some bugs add in some fun moments, instead of everything being too serious all the time. [editline]7th April 2011[/editline] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/howdidimanagethat.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Thorny;29032314]Why does this bother so many people? It's really not a big deal in my eyes.[/QUOTE] It isn't a really big deal. But it just gives a bit more immersion.

Post your hilarious bugs, I want to see what mysteries the zone contains. [editline]7th April 2011[/editline] Not a bug, but the the zone has ornithologists. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/thezonehasornothologists.png[/IMG] Gotta love AMK sometimes.

Also, one thing I've noticed about this thread is that it's surprisingly organized. Mods rarely need to interfere here because veterans already make ths rookie stalkers get out of here if they start floatin'

Such is life in the [del]zone[/del] thread.

I claim this page in the name of the loners. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXvshCxJYQ&NR=1[/media] Also just had a second attempt at taking the garbage. Bandits keep coming back to the depot. how can I stop this shit ?

I still think that the [del]Master Faction[/del] Monolith should have their own theme song.

Although if you run out of vodka it's a sign you need to resupply.

The Monolith sings to them if they act nice and follow their orders.

It seems that I can only play People Soup with the textures on low, else my computer crashes, but then the HUD screws up and stuff. Is there any way to work around this?

[QUOTE=Resto;29032874]It seems that I can only play People Soup with the textures on low, else my computer crashes, but then the HUD screws up and stuff. Is there any way to work around this?[/QUOTE] Get rid of the textures you don't need.

[QUOTE=Sabrina;29032737]Also, one thing I've noticed about this thread is that it's surprisingly organized.

Don't think we've seen a ban here since that troll a couple of threads ago.

I joined Freedom, went back to the Bar, kicked Duty out of it via Lead Train Express... No one but Loners there now, why won't Freedom come in and set up shop? I thought Oblivion Lost did that

[QUOTE=Rexen;29032369]Because everything has to be 100% realistic in a game with physics defying anomalies.[/QUOTE] I agree that games don't have to be 100% realistic, but that right there is a fallacy. Anomalies are science fiction, so they don't have to abide by the rules of the real world (the fact that they defy natural laws is the whole point, that's what makes them [i]anomalies[/i]), so the devs can make anomalies do whatever they like, and no one can and say "anomalies don't work like that in the real world!". But a Kalashnikov assault rifle is real world technology, it's something players may be familiar with outside the context of the game, so for the sake of immersion and to avoid unnecessary suspension of disbelief any representation of that weapon in game should be true to the real one at least to a point. An "AK" that's made out of stone and which shoots lightning would just be stupid, even in a sci-fi game. Of course, where exactly that line should be drawn is subjective, and GSC apparently drew it just above putting the working parts on the correct side of the guns. Honestly, it doesn't bother me much, but the reason people gripe about the mirrored weapon models is because it contradicts reality for no good reason. The only reason for it I'm aware of is so you can see the empty casings flying across the screen, but who seriously thinks brass flying across the screen is cool? At worst it can be distracting and at best you don't notice it at all because you're paying attention to what you're shooting at.

Call of pripyat complete is kinda annoying, quicksaving takes an age, going into the menu also takes an age and at last the quickloading takes an age. And it lags a lil' bit.

[QUOTE=Shoopiwoop;29033370]Call of pripyat complete is kinda annoying, quicksaving takes an age, going into the menu also takes an age and at last the quickloading takes an age. And it lags a lil' bit.[/QUOTE] It has 1% original content. And the game was already complete when it came out. So it's a useless mod.

And that it still gets lots of publicity makes my blood boil, when there are real mods which add real content, which aren't getting any spotlight at all. :colbert:

[QUOTE=Blaberry;29033476]And that it still gets lots of publicity makes my blood boil, when there are real mods which add real content, which aren't getting any spotlight at all. :colbert:[/QUOTE] The publicity it got with SoC Complete was well deserved, it is a good mod. But on CoP it's fucking useless.

Exactly.

[QUOTE=Thorny;29032314]Why does this bother so many people? It's really not a big deal in my eyes.[/QUOTE] While a small thing, it can break immersion over something that can easily be modeled the other way. A friend of mine put it in words when I asked him on why he hates it 'Hate it because its unrealistic and its there purely to fascinate the tiny and easily amused dumbass minds of twitch shooter fanatics who have to be stimulated by some sort of bright flashy animation going off in their face every 0.1 seconds'

Okay, so i've got CoP (only one my friend had, traded it for an xbox game) now and I'm pretty excited about it. I will be playing vanilla on my first playthrough, but I'll probably be installing a mod after that. I've already downloaded sgm blackbyte from blaberry's mod repo. Are there any problems with that mod I should know about/better mods?

Redux is the best mod for CoP. I'd recommend it before SGM-b

To be honest, I never liked any of the CoP mods. They either lagged too much for my poor 5 year old PC or I just didn't like the content they added.

Jesus saint christ the power some of the STALKER mods use is fucking nuts. 3.7 GBs of ram? Seriously? I need to upgrade to Win 7 64 bit quick. A other thing is Clear Sky worth getting now? I got it ages ago and felt like shit when it didnt stop crashing every 10 mins.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;29033751]Dude do you have 4gb+ RAM and not a 64bit OS?[/QUOTE] Yeah... worse thing is..? Its mother.. fucking Vista.. just to add acid to wounds.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;29033773]Yeah... worse thing is..? Its mother.. fucking Vista.. just to add acid to wounds.[/QUOTE] Jesus fucking christ get some money and get Win7 64bit

actually vista 64-bit is p okay after the most recent service pack, 32 bit is still terrible though.

[QUOTE=Blaberry;29033588]Redux is the best mod for CoP. I'd recommend it before SGM-b[/QUOTE] I agree. Whoever didn't play it yet should try it.
