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

Is there any way to turn on the HUD? I like realism but I also like to know when I'm about to keel over and die.

In one of the latest patches to LURK, a health and stamina bar was added to the inventory.

[QUOTE=dfunk;24328971]Question. Does Clear Sky really suck or are people just full of shit?[/QUOTE] People are full of shit. Even when it was buggy it ruled.

I forked out for a SEVA suit, and I feel I made a good purchase, although it tends to get worn out quickly the decent nightvision is a godsend (as you can actually -see- stuff, unlike the nightvision on the stalker suit.) Just came out of a pretty crazy fight in the Wild Territory. Bandits vs. Mercs vs. Snorks vs. Bloodsuckers vs. Dogs vs. a poltergeist vs. those rat things.

I'm playing Shadow of Chernobyl, and I'm in the room where I meet my first Blood Sucker. (saw it in a video) [editline]Edited:[/editline] I was a good stalker. [editline]02:54AM[/editline] Wait what the fuck, that was easy as shit. I even killed it with my knife in two hits. I have a feeling that Stalker difficulty isn't that hard

I remember there being an infographic made by /v/ that lists the best mods for Shadow of Chernobyl. I just got back into STALKER but I don't know which graphics mods to get, and back when I first got SoC for 5 bucks I used that to get my mods. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Lurk 1.1 is insanely difficult compared to the previous version of it. Took me an hour to get up to the bar. Usually I have at least 20,000 rubles but now I only have a few thousand.

Isn't SGM the mod with all those NATO weapons I saw in that video earlier? Because I'm considering DLing it.

No I think thats PRIPIAYAN Gold

Finally buy Merc Armor, decide to go meet Mole, go to agroprom underground, fight way out of the facility and military as well as dogs, <50% of the armor is still durable, walk miserably back to Sidorovich. Trade him all my weapons I scavenged of certain military. Enough money, but no armor in stock. Leave and go kill a few bandits for some rifle ammo. Come back, new armor in stock. Woooooo.

[sp]There's merc armor in a hidden stash in the first village[/sp] :v:

And that's why if you buy a merc suit, you're a moron.

Unless you're playing LURK 1.0552. [editline]10:44PM[/editline] Also, I just tried out HL2 on this laptop, and it ran fine at ALMOST maxed settings, plus it has 4 gigs of RAM, so I think I can run STALKER: SoC on it as long as I don't use any graphics-intensive mods like LURK.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;24321810]I got the game this weekend, and installed it. I started it today and got this bug report. When I tried to send it, it crashed. xrEngine.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "c:\users\myname\desktop\mynae\steam\steamapps\common\stalker call of pripyat\bin\xrCore.dll" at 001B:00C8E12E, xrDebug::backend()+174 byte(s)[/QUOTE] Reposted in case no-one noticed.

So I beat CoP. Good fun, loved the ending. [sp]Did not expect to see Strelok.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Maximo13;24332335]Reposted in case no-one noticed.[/QUOTE] That's not the actual crashlog. The breakpoint message is just the game's way of saying "shit got fucked." To get the actual error log, open notepad IMMEDIATELY after you crash and hit ctrl+v. Post whatever you get here.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;24332356]So I beat CoP. Good fun, loved the ending. [sp]Did not expect to see Strelok.[/sp][/QUOTE] Yeah me neither

I just can't make myself play through CS a second time, it's just so broken and it pisses me off, I played the hell out of SoC though. I want to get CoP

[QUOTE=Dr.C;24332793]I just can't make myself play through CS a second time, it's just so broken and it pisses me off, I played the hell out of SoC though. I want to get CoP[/QUOTE] Get CoP, it really takes the best of both SoC and CS and mashes them into a really well polished (for STALKER at least) game. It is awesome

Nah, CoP is it's own game and is fairly different from both SoC and CS. Good game, good mods, definitely worth it.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;24332335]Reposted in case no-one noticed.[/QUOTE] I had the same problem, and loading a previous save fixed it for me. Like, 3 saves before my most recent one.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;24332356]So I beat CoP. Good fun, loved the ending. [sp]Did not expect to see Strelok.[/sp][/QUOTE] I love it how what he says can be translated into "Oh hey I reached the CNPP and killed hundreds of your fellow soldiers on the way, thus ruining the whole operation." and they respond "will you join us?"

[QUOTE=croguy;24333495]I love it how what he says can be translated into "Oh hey I reached the CNPP and killed hundreds of your fellow soldiers on the way, thus ruining the whole operation." and they respond "will you join us?"[/QUOTE] [sp]Strelok[/sp] only killed them in self defense. Plus his knowledge of the zone could save countless more lives.

Yea, I know. But I expected that they'd blow his head off like some grunt from Agroprom or Cordon would do.

I always found that funny too. I was upset after how the army was portrayed in CoP. In SoC they were evil beings who roamed the edge of society. However in CoP they are seen as grunts just trying to survive.

Yea, in CoP they're all like "Oh god we're so stranded oh God we're gonna die, please help us!" and in every other game they're all like "Baaah we're infinetly superior and you all deserve to die because you broke da lau :black101:"
