S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Faction Warfare Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Lukasaurus;30580131]LoL Walking around freedom base in the Dark Valley.. two Freedom knobs are chatting over the loudspeaker. The commander gets on the PA system "HAVE YOU BOTH LOST YOUR FREAKING MINDS, WHAT IS THIS? A DICK MEASURING CONTEST. SHUT THE HELL UP" Cracked me up.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3yzVdCC5PAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3yzVdCC5PA[/media]

Wow. While listening to that with the game unpaused, using the Steam overlay, a bloodsucker killed me.

[QUOTE=Blaberry;30585884]Or you press that little 360-controller and it records directly from directX, with like 50% performance increase? And you get the chat in game.[/QUOTE] Tried to run Clear Sky with it and it crashed. I'll try that sometime later. And OL10 crashes all the time for me so I need to run in a smaller resolution to make it more stable.

So I went to do that mission to get the military documents, went at pitch black at night and snuck in through the front door, silenced pistol in hand. Walk up stairs, see guy patrolling; hide under stairs for him to pass and then run up behind him and stab him. Continue up stars, pop two guys in the head on the next level without making a sound and start to rush up to the top level to get the documents and suddenly stop and panic because I saw in the shadows of a light in the next room, 3 people patrolling with Ak47's. This game is fucking amazing, I've had it for like, 2 years and have never bothered to play it. I feel ashamed Too bad my asshole friend ruined part of the ending :c

ctrl+alt+n

that hides the hud, right? so then text just pops up in that corner?

So, is anyone streaming right now? Or planning to?

I'm going to eat some Diet frozen sausage pizza, then I'll be on with LURK 1.1:Ohfuckit'sthemiddleofthedayedition

[QUOTE=Muertos13;30586303]I'm going to eat some Diet frozen sausage pizza, then I'll be on with LURK 1.1:Ohfuckit'sthemiddleofthedayedition[/QUOTE] Sure, man.

I can stream in the meantime. :v:

I'd love something to watch while I eat

[QUOTE=croguy;30586454]I can stream in the meantime. :v:[/QUOTE] Sure, man!

...if only the damn game mode would work properly! Turn on without crashing everything you piece of shit! :argh:

[QUOTE=croguy;30581366]literary, a few MS's got ran over by a monolith BTR.[/QUOTE] Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Where the FUCK did the Monolith get a working BTR?! Where did they get the diesel to run it?! Where did they get the ammo?! And most importantly, how did they learn how to operate it?!

Just finished SoC, both 'true' endings. Are any of the possible outcomes of the ending of SoC hinted at in CoP? Does something about the Zone change? So, on to Clear Sky. I'm really not sure whether to play vanilla or reloaded. I want a mod that is basically vanilla with all the crappy stuff like invincibility animations and bad trader prices fixed.

[QUOTE=croguy;30586712]*response*[/QUOTE] I can understand everything except the brainwashing bit. What, did C-Con upload a training program into their heads or something? Now that I think about it, I could see that happening.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;30586735]I can understand everything except the brainwashing bit. What, did C-Con upload a training program into their heads or something? Now that I think about it, I could see that happening.[/QUOTE] It is the ultimate counciousness after all.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;30586735]I can understand everything except the brainwashing bit. What, did C-Con upload a training program into their heads or something? Now that I think about it, I could see that happening.[/QUOTE] The driver/gunner were probably military who already knew how to operate it, and were just taken by the Monolith.

[QUOTE=croguy;30586774]It is the ultimate counciousness after all.[/QUOTE] Too right, all glory to the Monolith and all that. I gotta go check my e-mail. [editline]20th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Thorny;30586801]The driver/gunner were probably military who already knew how to operate it, and were just taken by the Monolith.[/QUOTE] That'd be cool now that I think about it. A BTR repainted with Monolith colors and insignia, ala ArmA 2.

It was just a regular looking BTR. You can see it in Yantar.

Okay guys, live streaming at [url]http://www.livestream.com/croguy?t=496962[/url] , have a go at yelling at me for not using the game mode.

going to try more streaming [url]http://www.livestream.com/muertosstalkanadventures?t=797625[/url] [editline]20th June 2011[/editline] I'll wait for cro to finish, actually

[QUOTE=Thorny;30586801]The driver/gunner were probably military who already knew how to operate it, and were just taken by the Monolith.[/QUOTE] Especially since Ukraine has conscription so it's actually plausible that there are more than a few BTR drivers in Monolith ranks. And I doubt driving an APC is much different to driving a car so at least they could get it moving.

So nobody will send me murder threats if I use a mod for my first Clear Sky playthrough?

I don't fight for anyone, i'm a loner and only fight for myself

spoilers :(

[QUOTE=Cheese7;30587134]So nobody will send me murder threats if I use a mod for my first Clear Sky playthrough?[/QUOTE] Having suffered the unmodded Clear Sky's beginning a total of [B]seven goddamn times[/B] I can safely say that you should not suffer through that. But don't get Complete. Try Reloaded instead, at least for starters. But bear in mind that you'll have to start the game vanilla before modding it. [QUOTE=MajorMattem;30587401]Hey, who is streaming now?[/QUOTE] Croguy's streaming OL2010 [QUOTE=Cheese7;30587754]I will?[/QUOTE] I don't know if you really [I]have[/I] to, but I recall some advice that the game needs to be started with vanilla once before applying any mods. Don't know if it's true though.
