S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: If nobody will make it I will - Games

[QUOTE=JETFIGHTER5;24275044]I was thinking of getting L.U.R.K. right off the bat, but ok.[/QUOTE] Complete was pretty good for me; stays true to vanilla, largely. It adds some cool features that don't really interfere, and has freeplay at the end. Plus the graphics are non-horrible, looks as good as Clear Sky almost without the massive performance loss. Why is it always graphics mods for older games that both look great and performs well? [editline]12:56AM[/editline] [QUOTE=DeVotchKa;24275317]I love how your rank goes from 1543 to 2976. It was done on purpose, which makes sense 'cause i mean, what trader would want to buy/sell a broken gun? But i do agree they set it a bit high.[/QUOTE] You can usually still make a profit if you repair it and then sell it. Depends on the repairman though.

I'm playing CoP right now and could bad things happen if I ambush loners and stalkers and take their stuff?

I just ambushed some guys who were gonna ambush some other guys. I guess you could say I'm Barack Obama :v: Sorry for the bad joke :saddowns:

[QUOTE=BmB;24275529]You can usually still make a profit if you repair it and then sell it. Depends on the repairman though.[/QUOTE] A very, VERY minor one if you get one at all.

I don't get it.

You should be able to sell a borked gun to rookies, by saying to them that it's "Lucky".

Just fought two burers, managed to kill one with my shotgun after they made my drop my rifle, the second one made me drop the shotgun, so I stabbed it to death. :buddy:

Switching over from L.U.R.K. to Stalker Complete. L.U.R.K was too frustrating for me.

Took me forever to find my guns though, they kept getting flung everywhere.

[QUOTE=Nerts;24276796]Just fought two burers, managed to kill one with my shotgun after they made my drop my rifle, the second one made me drop the shotgun, so I stabbed it to death. :buddy:[/QUOTE] That ability is so cool but so rage inducing at the same time.

Anyone mind if I write a basic guide to Stalker and put it in the Subforum so we can just link people there? Suggestions for what to put in would be good.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;24277656]That ability is so cool but so rage inducing at the same time.[/QUOTE] What makes me even more pissed is if they take my weapon and I can't find it again. [QUOTE=Devodiere;24278768]Anyone mind if I write a basic guide to Stalker and put it in the Subforum so we can just link people there? Suggestions for what to put in would be good.[/QUOTE] For certain things it would be useful but other than that each player develops their own tactics for doing things in stalker. For more specific info people can just go to the wiki or some other survival guides.

Bandits sure are protective of their stoves

Just got the weekend deal. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - 89%, 4 KB/s :suicide: Wish I could gift SoC, though. Also, I was playing Oblivion Lost, and I went to the Bloodsucker village to retrieve the RG-6. I found only one Bloodsucker, however, there was seven Chimeras and three Burers. :v:

I just picked up Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, anything I should know about the game before I dive in head first?

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;24277656]That ability is so cool but so rage inducing at the same time.[/QUOTE] Easily the most aggravating thing in the game is to have your gun pulled out of your hands, and then launched at you for a kill.

[QUOTE=Kiwi Bird;24279721]I just picked up Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, anything I should know about the game before I dive in head first?[/QUOTE] fuck bitches get artifacts also play vanilla first

[b]Shoot him in the face![/b]

[QUOTE=Kiwi Bird;24279721]I just picked up Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, anything I should know about the game before I dive in head first?[/QUOTE] Typical shit, play Vanilla first, use cover yadda yadda and don't get raped.

Aim for the head too

Are there any updates on LURK? Like so my armor will be more durable than tissue paper.

Holden's still on vacation [editline]07:24PM[/editline] Possibly forever. none of the team seems to be interested

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;24279798]Typical shit, play Vanilla first, use cover yadda yadda and don't get raped.[/QUOTE] OK, I honestly think that Complete 09 is an acceptable substitute for a vanilla playthrough. Hell, I didn't even do that, since I started playing in 2008 or so. I played vanilla for about 20 minutes, decided mods would be more fun, and never looked back. It's not really NECESSARY to play vanilla first, and putting so much emphasis on it might put off people who are new to the game but don't like the vanilla experience much. [editline]07:26PM[/editline] [QUOTE=JDER14;24279910]Are there any updates on LURK? Like so my armor will be more durable than tissue paper.[/QUOTE] You can modify suit durability yourself. Just open up outfit.ltx and lower the "immunity" values in order to make the suit take less damage from whatever sources (mutants, bullets, etc).

Complete 2009 removes a lot of the charm that vanilla has, like the dialog and music.

Oh...It's always sad when a mod team dies.

Sigerious is good but they are fairly similar really. I think there's more missions in SGM but in my experience it crashes a lot.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;24280152]What do you guys recommend, Sigerous or PRIPYATAN?[/QUOTE] Sigerous then PRIPYATAN

Hey guys, is Shadow of Chernobyl still worth playing even after I beat it? I never beat the vanilla, I beat COMPLETE. I had Call of Pripyat but I'm waiting for COMPLETE to come because it's harder to play on static lighting in CoP than SoC.

Play a mod that adds a heap of new stuff like AMK. It changes the game a fair bit and keeps it interesting if you don't want to run through vanilla again.

If you have to use static lighting why use complete? It's graphical improvements are in the enhanced dynamic modes. Heck last I heard it had glitches in static mode. Also complete has freeplay, no? you could dick around in that.
