S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles~ - Games

Just recently bought Call of Pripyat and I love it. Using the assault rifle you get for giving the Duty General's PDA to Loki in Yanov, modified for a longer range battle rifle type of setup, fighting through the Monolith is fun!

Oh dear, I've been gone for so long that it looks like I wont be in this Stalker Bros. Oh well. Anyhow, after a month or 2 of frustration, I may try to install People Soup again. I really do want to try it.

isnt raisk banned anyway?

A few posts back someone said that Rasik told him that Stalker Bros is still being made. [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Amez;31499268]Not sure if late: Rais wanted me to tell you guys that even though he's gone, he's still working on the stalker bros picture like a champ~[/QUOTE] That's the one.

What is Autumn Aurora about?

Would you guys like references via character names, or quest ideas from games like Fallout, Borderlands, Rage etc?

Both?

Moaring stalkers

Put the gamedata and the bin folder in your SoC folder, I don't think you actually need to use the user.ltx that came with it. Then apply the culmulative patch then fixing soup. You need 1.0005 too. Then it should work. Defragging it after you install would help.[/QUOTE] Thank you fellow stalker. but one question, do i need to download 001-014?

Yes. You need all of them.

[QUOTE=Epic Fortune;31501785]Both?[/QUOTE] Yes, bad wording on my part. I'll be including a bunch of shit from other games as references. [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] Since mostly I spend time at work reading over stuff like the Fallout wikia.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;31502139]Yes. You need all of them.[/QUOTE] is it okay if i download the weapons expansion aswell?

Sure. Don't know when you'd install that though, I assume after the culmulative patch.

I have yet to find a mod that proves a challenge. Normally, after getting some decent armour it becomes too easy.

Do it without armor then?

I did a Redux run with no armour (Other than the tunnels), and only using a pistol of my choice.

[QUOTE=Rexen;31503042]I have yet to find a mod that proves a challenge. Normally, after getting some decent armour it becomes too easy.[/QUOTE] Stay with a Stalker suit. That's fun and lore-tastic!

Yeah the problem with stalker is that the difficulty doesn't really advance with the gear you get. I remember that first time clearing the factory in SoC when I denied the help of Wolf's men and decided to sneak in and kill everyone. When those shotgun pellets ripped through my chest they didn't just destroy all my vital organs, they crushed my delicate ego. I wish STALKER had more moments like that. Once you get a scope for a weapon you're pretty much done because you can simply out-range everyone.

[QUOTE=Rexen;31503062]I did a Redux run with no armour (Other than the tunnels), and only using a pistol of my choice.[/QUOTE] It still was pretty easy with the 1911 though.

so i did everything you said, zip and i hadn't installed the weapon mod yet and on start up it got past the opening cutscene and driver thingies but then it crashes and i get this error report. any advice?

I remember taking on the Pseudogiant in the lab where you find the information for Cardan with a knife. A shotgun fell from a random direction after it slammed which scared the shit out of me. I could never find it but it looked like the eliminator.[del]Does anyone know if there is a hidden stash in that room?[/del] [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] Nevermind, I just remembered that Redux has no stashes so it should have come from a zombie.

I'm going around being a good STALKER by giving people better guns. So far i've already given both Awl and Petruha AS VALs. I'm not giving anything to fucking bandits though, fuck them.

[editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] Also, my name sounds a lot more manly spelt backwards like this.

Same here.

Damn I didn't remember the starting area of CoP to be so bland and boring looking.

Just bought all 3 games for 198:- or 31 dollars! I'm exited, though I will wait until the evening, it's summer after all. Will start with SoC, vanilla.

By Raiskauskone, I take no credit. A dream I just saw, as soon as I woke up I wrote it down. Also drew a picture of what the place roughly looked like [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/260tx89.png[/img] We were exploring one of the buildings at Chernobyl, a bit north of the NPP I think. It was getting dark and me, Strelok, and 4 other stalkers were headed in. It started raining and there was a constant low-psychic effect going on. We killed mutants and zombies inside the building looking for something, and from time to time some of the stalkers (expect strelok and me) went into comatose/zombie like state and we had to shake them out of it. After a moment I for some reason "remembered" that we were looking for the controls of somekind of device/machine/etc that was stuck on the "test" forever, and which kept making those blowouts. It got irregularly power for the test, so that is why the blowout happens randomly in the zone. However the physics effects were getting worser from time to time and the other stalkers were getting more and more nuts, until one of them "when we were on the 5th floor of the building" Said something along the line of "I don't know about you guys, but there's something really, really horrible down there" and just stared down into open-top silo fo somesort. Suddenly he fell down over the ledge. I looked there for a moment until my eyes adjusted and I saw gasmasked figures with green-glowing eyes. However we continued on our path, letting Strelok and other guy mainly to "mess" with the controls of some devices we apparently had to go throught in order to stop the blowouts for once and for all. We also walked on one corridor and we looked throught from the cracks of one door, and saw a room full of those zombiestalkers sleeping. We continued walking once I saw one of them was starting to wake up (probably heard us). After killing more mutants and zombies in our way, we made it outside. It was beautiful sight, open area with slight fog over the river as far as the eye can see. with forests, untended fields, towns and a city far in the distance. We were apparently west of the river from which the NPP took it's coolant water from. We emerged from a building next to some electronic device stuff that were connected to the powerlines leading from NPP, at the western end of the compound area. We ran on the open ground of the compound on it's northern end and just stared at the scenery for a moment. But suddenly, an alarm went off and red lights started blinking everywhere around the compound, and an female sound speaking ukrainan played automated warning. Then the blowout started. The sky went bright red and the sound of low-tone sound with heavy bass almost broke my ears, the physich effects went overkill. I looked at my companions and noticed that they were on their comatose/zombie like state, even Strelok this time. I tried to slap one out of it, but then I looked at the sky and noticed, how somekind of smoke ring had formed not far from the compound, towards north, I guess about 300 meters over the river, about 300-600 meters high in the sky. It was getting tigher and lighting went on increasing frequency inside it, throught it and around it. I knew this was the indication that shit was about to hit the fan damn hard. I couldn't get my friends out of their state in time and just ran towards the closest potential blowout cover as fast as my legs could go. But at the same time I knew that this close to the center of the blowout it's probably useless. I would be ultradead anyway. I couldn't make it in time to the door when the blowout started, god damnit hombre everything was reeeed and my character (yes suddenly I was like playing the game) was bleeding from everything to everywhere and holding it's head. (I just knew, I wasn't seeing my character in third person or something) Until somekind of freaky mutant walked over to me, motioned with it's claws that I was about to die very painfully, and with a shit-eating grin on it's face, it hit me. And that's where the dream ended for me. [url]http://www.eurostalker.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=158[/url]

Fuck dogs, I can never hit them.

I use the complete pack. But now i feel like a heretic.
