[QUOTE=ZakkShock;30232986]I had heard somewhere that there was a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. coming out soon.. any truth behind that?[/QUOTE] Stalker 2, supposed to be 2012 or whatever but they haven't come out with any news on it at all. Chances are it'll be much later.

just because they dont tell us anything doesnt mean nothings been done on it [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] and do you really want this new Stalker ~exclusive~ engine theyre making to be spoiled

Just read your article, Thorny. Sounds like a great idea, now I have an excuse to kill all Loners. Wait, I would've killed them regardless :v:

If the bandits are going to mug me, give me a chance to fight back or at least hunt them down to retrieve my loot

How the fuck do you gain access to the merc base next to the jupiter plant in SGM without having shoot them all? I wanna see what their trader guy sells.

Now second problem, defending the dawn base is near impossible because of the fucking pseudogiant, and all the dawn members die.[/QUOTE] Take an earlier save and bust out the RPG. It's not like you'll use it anywhere alse anyway... Alternatively, stock up on F1 grenades and bomb it to hell before it reaches kill-range.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;30236581]You'll have to wear merc armour to get in.[/QUOTE] Okay thanks. Now second problem, defending the dawn base is near impossible because of the fucking pseudogiant, and all the dawn members die. Oh dear god and snork spam too. I swear, i managed to kill the Pseudogiant with a knife due to him endlessly attacking the trader. But anyway, how do you successfully do it without all the dawn members dieing?

Hey guys! I'm a big fan of the stalker series, and I've been playing since I was - Holy shit I was looking up to see when SHoC was released to say when I have been playing from and saw the Metro - Last Light trailer. I'm in love... Anyways, I first played SHoC when I was 11, and have been an avid fan ever since. I decided not to buy CS because of the apparent glitches, but bought and loved CoP. Hopefully I can become a regular on these sort of threads because I'm in the process of creating a Let's Play series, and I also want to paste some of my fan fics. and chat with some other avid stalker fans. Yes I know I'm a lurker, but I prefer to think I joined a couple weeks ago because that's basically when I started using the forums. Also as a question - What's everyones opinions of Metro 2033 and the upcoming sequel?

Well, i've been searching for this for a good year and a half now, but every time I try to launch SoC I get an XRay engine error, can you guys help me out? [code]XR_3DA.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\stalker shadow of chernobyl\bin\xrCore.dll" at 001B:00597CB5, xrDebug::backend()+165 byte(s)[/code]

I loved the detail in Metro, such as having to change the filter on your mask, use a pump for your gun and flash light, and all sorts of stuff. I loved that

[QUOTE=Thorny;30237218]I love Metro, and can't wait for Last Light.[/QUOTE] Book > game, but Last Light should be better as it's doing its very own story.

[QUOTE=Araknid;30237763]I loved the detail in Metro, such as having to change the filter on your mask, use a pump for your gun and flash light, and all sorts of stuff. I loved that[/QUOTE] Hated doing that stuff on the xbox, so tedious because of the irritating controls. Also, if my computer can run stalker can it run metro?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30237771]weather_ogsm.ltx Are you using OGSM mod? Book > game, but Last Light should be better as it's doing its very own story.[/QUOTE] Clean install, no mods at all. That I know of.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30237787]Hated doing that stuff on the xbox, so tedious because of the irritating controls.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30236870]Also as a question - What's everyones opinions of Metro 2033 and the upcoming sequel?[/QUOTE] Metro 2033 has an absolutely amazing atmosphere but it's linear as fuck and tbh I didn't like the proliferation of mutants in the game. I hope the sequel is less linear but I think it will be great anyway. Just not worth my money if it's a pipe-shooter though. I guess I'll go a friend's house to play it or something then.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;30237993]Metro 2033 is [i]way[/i] more demanding than Stalker.[/QUOTE] Oh man that sucks... I'll have to check my system specs then. I doubt it though, which sucks. Okay, so I'll post this here since I'm not good at interpreting... [img]http://i.imgur.com/xebR7.png[/img] and I have 2 GB of Ram, is that enough? I understand my graphics card is a GeForce 8600 and it needs to be a 8800 min so I would have to turn the graphics down a bit...

[QUOTE=Muukkis;30237993]Metro 2033 is [I]way[/I] more demanding than Stalker.[/QUOTE] 60fps maxed DX11 in Metro 2033, 30-40fps maxed DX11 in Call of Pripyat. Most likely due to dynamic AI and open world.

Anyway, saying this again from the last page. Whats the secret to successfully defending the Dawn base in SGM? I do fine up until a Pseudogiant and snorks appear, they just kill all the dawn guys.

Hey, I just got SoC a couple of days ago and I have a question, can stuff get stolen from footlockers you leave things in?(I'm playing with the Complete 2009 mod if that matters)

[QUOTE=z0rz;30239072]Hey, I just got SoC a couple of days ago and I have a question, can stuff get stolen from footlockers you leave things in?(I'm playing with the Complete 2009 mod if that matters)[/QUOTE] -snip- Failed to read correctly.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30239103]I don't think so although some containers reset, make sure it's in a container in a safe zone like the 2nd floor room on the left on the ship with owl and stuff in it. Pretty much any area were you can't get attacked has a safe locker somewhere nearby.[/QUOTE] He's talking about SoC you know. Also I use the arena chest in the bar, and I think the blue chest at Sids works too.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;30239130]He's talking about SoC you know. Also I use the arena chest in the bar, and I think the blue chest at Sids works too.[/QUOTE] Wow that was fail of me, sorry about that I read that backwards and my mind filled in the gaps for some reason. But yea, blue chests in safe zones like the 100 rads bar, or in Sidorovich's bunker are safe.

Also looking into Metro - Last Light, it says it has multiplayer. Assuming this want's to be a triple A title like the first, this won't be like Stalkers multiplayer. So what do you guys think it will be like? A large free moving area like in battle field? Perhaps using a rank system, or specifically placed weapons like in Killzone or Halo? Personally I think it'll have a completely irrelevant rank system with killzone style weapon placements and focus on objective modes like escorting a cart or something.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30239237]Also looking into Metro - Last Light, it says it has multiplayer. [/QUOTE] OH MY GOD Even though it will be like deathmatch, CTF and that kinda stuff that sounds amazingly fun in a post-apoc scene. I hope they do it right

[QUOTE=Thorny;30239173]Why are you playing with a mod the first time :([/QUOTE] If it keeps him playing and not getting screwed by bugs, then that's probably for the better. Mods can sometimes keep people playing, and if the first time I played stalker I had complete '09 on I probably would have kept playing. Of course I was too scared anyways...
