STALKER Series Megathread: All news we get about STALKER 2 are bad jokes and concept art - Games

[QUOTE=Cone;34193479]So how's Misery? I like realism, but if it's as "lol cause hard = realism rite" as I hear I'll probably not play it.[/QUOTE] It is. Awesome economy, that is. It's like Redux, but dumb and unbalanced. 1000+RU for a breakfest, which won't even satisfy charachter's need for food. It's the true MISERY - it's fucking hard for the sake of being fucking hard. I've seen worse, but this just doesn't make any sense in it.

this is the reason why i spent more than 5 minutes testing redux

What happened to everyone's Wizard mode skills? I thought we liked a challenge? Sure this is like killing a tank with a capgun, but still.

[QUOTE=rnate;34193591]What happened to everyone's Wizard mode skills? I thought we liked a challenge? Sure this is like killing a tank with a capgun, but still.[/QUOTE] If we can take BTRs with a knife we can take tanks with a capgun.

[QUOTE=rnate;34193591]What happened to everyone's Wizard mode skills? I thought we liked a challenge? Sure this is like killing a tank with a capgun, but still.[/QUOTE] It's not really about "challenge", as just making basic things like food cost a shitton. If Misery does indeed have actually difficulty like Monolith / Merc death squads strolling in the night and pissing off factions would actually make some difference in how you're treated then that would be good difficulty. Note that I don't actually know how Misery is now, I'm just going by what people have posted about it so far. I'll be testing it this weekend probly after doing the damn Pripyat Underpass in Swartz.

Crobro, help me out here! [editline]hurp[/editline] Moved it here [t]http://i.imgur.com/3f8Zf.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Rents;34193611]If we can take BTRs with a knife we can take tanks with a capgun.[/QUOTE] I managed to destroy like three BTR's, an assault Hind that fired a shitload of rockets and bullets, a squad of Spetznaz, and the entirety of the Military Cordon Outpost on Wizard once. Funny, because the loot I sold to Sid from their dead bodies was worth more than the 2000 RU case he sent me to retrieve.

[QUOTE=rnate;34193591]What happened to everyone's Wizard mode skills? I thought we liked a challenge? Sure this is like killing a tank with a capgun, but still.[/QUOTE] Wizard Mode skills come into play when the challenge is derived from tricky gunplay, ammo conservation, and difficult encounters. STALKER is, after all, a shooter. It is NOT (or should not be) derived from dying in one's sleep because it's impossible to stay nourished in this mod, or dying because you can't sprint for more than 2 seconds because of said starvation. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] Also I'm hearing a lot about enemies being bullet sponges (so far I just know this is true for mutants), which doesn't really feel like authentic STALKER challenge to me.

Got a bit bored with my game so far, so gonna start fresh with the Redux mod.

Nimble?

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;34194713]My best guess for the member would be Docent Suslov[/QUOTE] [del]My guess would be Ivan Trodnik[/del] And you were right.

-snip, got ninja'd-

it is indeed, good eye. i've redeveloped it to fit the time of CoP. yes, that's clear sky armour, and it's not nimble.

Is Nimble still going to be selling sweet guns if Clear Sky are still around?

nimble is in the same place and role as he is in v1.0 no worries, that's a different clear sky member you might remember

I would love to see a narcoleptic Nimble again. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Thorny;34194705]nimble is in the same place and role as he is in v1.0 no worries, that's a different clear sky member you might remember[/QUOTE] My best guess for the member would be Docent Suslov

docent suslov is correct

[QUOTE=Thorny;34194803]docent suslov is correct[/QUOTE] I always hated that guy: 300 RU for a medkit, after all I did for you?

[QUOTE=Etcetera;34194831]I always hated that guy: 300 RU for a medkit, after all I did for you?[/QUOTE] Actually he is one of the cheapest medical supply traders in the game :v:

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;34194964]Actually he is one of the cheapest medical supply traders in the game :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, just read that on the Stalker wiki. Still, his prices and selection are bad and he should feel bad.

What a let down that was [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Its_not_very_fun.jpg[/img]

It's really that bad? It just finished downloading, so I will try it out for myself.

[QUOTE=Thorny;34194679]it is indeed, good eye. i've redeveloped it to fit the time of CoP. yes, that's clear sky armour, and it's not nimble.[/QUOTE] so will we be seeing the remnants of CS still roaming the swamps? neat!

[QUOTE=Crisis;34195048]What a let down that was [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Its_not_very_fun.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] My only real gripe with the game. Couldn't hunger be severely reduced with some sort of config file settings?

[QUOTE=JustGman;34193497]bloodsuckers aren't even scary, get out of here stalker.[/QUOTE]Bloodsuckers still scare me once in a while. I've had a bloodsucker spawn right behind me once, it made some long growling noise when it spawned and I shat massive bricks because I didn't know they spawned there, much less be there

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;34195086]It's really that bad? It just finished downloading, so I will try it out for myself.[/QUOTE] As all comics, that's a [I]bit[/I] of an exaggeration, but hunger is noticeably too difficult to cope with. While being fully fed will last you for ~half a day before you need to eat, when you do need to eat you need to literally gorge yourself to fill your stomach.

[QUOTE=JustGman;34193497]bloodsuckers aren't even scary, get out of here stalker.[/QUOTE] I remember when you find that bloodsucker body in that mission in CoP, it was a pitch black night, I only saw the shining white eyes, I got so creeped out that I pretty much hid in cover for a while only peeking out to trow grenades, after 4 grenades or so I decided to man up and find out that it was a dead body all the time.

So I enabled DX10 lighting in Clear Sky and WOAH WHAT THE HELL LIGHT SHOW. How do I fix it? It looks like random blades of bright white are coming from everywhere.
