S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread -You shouldn't have come here lurker... Now you will be WORM FOOD! - Games

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;30972954]Which ending did you get? [editline]7th July 2011[/editline] :ninja:[/QUOTE] I got the ending where I refused to be with the Conscious dudes and I teleport everywhere before the actual ending. Edit: Don't know how to put text in black, so you have to click it to see the text.

Imagine if the Barman took you into his backroom when you had to buy guns, who sells guns over the counter anyway? It wouldn't serve any purpose other than to be cool, but I'd still want it.

[IMG]http://images.free-extras.com/pics/s/smirnoff_vodka-946.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] VODKA OF THE PATRIARCH! Real stalkers only drink what is spilled out of the oil drums of the vodka that is brewed in the dirtiest of backalleys of the outskirts of moscow.

Real Stalkers brew their own vodka using any potatoes they find in the Zone.

A real stalker eats yeast and lets his body turn it into vodka.

So I'm planning on buying Clear Sky next.. is it any good? I hear it's buggy as shit or something

[QUOTE=PenguinKris;30973744]So I'm planning on buying Clear Sky next.. is it any good? I hear it's buggy as shit or something[/QUOTE]The ballistics are a bit odd, but it's good, much more focus on action than the other games though.

[QUOTE=Gum;30973690]A real stalker eats yeast and lets his body turn it into vodka.[/QUOTE] I like you, Stalker!

[QUOTE=PenguinKris;30973744]So I'm planning on buying Clear Sky next.. is it any good? I hear it's buggy as shit or something[/QUOTE] It's not buggy anymore. It's the "worst" STALKER game, but that doesn't make it a bad game.

[QUOTE=PenguinKris;30973744]So I'm planning on buying Clear Sky next.. is it any good? I hear it's buggy as shit or something[/QUOTE] I agree it's buggier than a hobo's underwear, but I still favour it over CoP mostly because it's more action packed than the other two. [B]A[/B][B]nd [/B]it has my current favourite mod, TFW. Oh yeah, thanks for TRW, Zip.

Alright, thanks for the input guys. I knew I should have bought it when it was even cheaper about 2 days ago.

It's a little odd, but it's still a good game.

Speaking of CS, why hasn't there been a mod made yet that fixes the ballistics? Oh, and where do you find Nightstars?

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;30974669]Speaking of CS, why hasn't there been a mod made yet that fixes the ballistics? Oh, and where do you find Nightstars?[/QUOTE] CS Redux, check the last page.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;30974669]Speaking of CS, why hasn't there been a mod made yet that fixes the ballistics? Oh, and where do you find Nightstars?[/QUOTE] You're playing AMK right? Nightstars can be everywhere, but I'm sure you'll find one before you move out to the garbage.

Playing through Stalker SoC, such nostalgia love this game, downloading Clear Sky now. The atmosphere of SoC is incredible compared to the other Stalkers.

It's weird, I have the most playtime in Clear Sky simply because I keep trying to play it through fully

I picked up SoC and Clear Sky during the steam sale, I've played 2 hours of SoC and Loved every minute of it. But I just transferred the files from my laptop to this computer and I ended up losing my saves. So I might be starting over.

Maybe you should just play Clear Sky a bit until you are in the mood for a restart.

[QUOTE=proch;30975457]Ohh, two hours? Now that's different. Maybe you should just play Clear Sky a bit until you are in the mood for a restart.[/QUOTE] Its not installed though :smith:

Fuck, two hours making a neat bridge with pistons for a drawbridge moat thing in minecraft and I'm jonesing for some stalker already.

What do you guys mean by ballistics?

[QUOTE=AWarGuy;30975122]Playing through Stalker SoC, such nostalgia love this game, downloading Clear Sky now. The atmosphere of SoC is incredible compared to the other Stalkers.[/QUOTE] Only thing that really rustles my jimmies in Shadow of Chernobyl is that the maps feel a lot smaller after playing Clear Sky because the alternate level changers help bring about an illusion that the maps are somehow larger, especially every map is connected to at least two other maps. [QUOTE=PenguinKris;30975650]What do you guys mean by ballistics?[/QUOTE] Weapon damages and accuracy mostly. Shadow of Chernobyl and CS in particular have a "cone of fire" effect in weapons which makes them shoot all over the place even when trying to carefully aim down the sights. Also, in vanilla Clear Sky pistol caliber bullets [B]disappear[/B] after 50 meters of flight which is shockingly stupid.

Could someone tell me what this is? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wt3CD.png[/IMG] I can't figure out what the number means, if its good or bad.

It's the number of NPCs on the minimap.

[QUOTE=Cosmicmeet;30975816]Could someone tell me what this is? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wt3CD.png[/IMG] I can't figure out what the number means, if its good or bad.[/QUOTE] NPCs nearby, if the number is higher than the number of green or yellow dots on the map you have trouble.

[QUOTE=Nerts;30975865]NPCs nearby, if the number is higher than the number of green or yellow dots on the map you have trouble.[/QUOTE] Arguably one of the dumbest design decisions in S.T.A.L.K.E.R and a complete mood-killer in areas with hostile presence. There's no need to be cautious because you instantly see that there are no threats around, at least from human enemies. Thankfully it's removed in Redux. Although it was pretty tense in [sp]X10[/sp] where the counter jumps from 0 to 20+.
