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

I don't get why the voice acting deteriorated so much as the series went on. Why does SoC have better voice actors than CoP? You'd think it would be the other way around, SoC being the first game and GSC not having that much money... Maybe THQ was the only publisher that cared about voice acting.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;34216527]I don't get why the voice acting deteriorated so much as the series went on. Why does SoC have better voice actors than CoP? [/QUOTE] Probably because there's fewer characters that do speaking roles in SoC. The english VAs wasn't probably much of a priority since they had to make french, portuguese and german VAs as well so they probably chose really cheap actors to do the localization. The russian dialogue is bone-chillingly awesome.

Can anyone link me to the Cop english subtitle mod? I can't seem to find it.

is there any way of changing the music in SGM? i checked through the files but i didnt see anything that would help

Has anyone read Gordon Freeman's pda entries? I wont give them away so you will just have to find his corpse.

[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;34217209]is there any way of changing the music in SGM? i checked through the files but i didnt see anything that would help[/QUOTE] Go to SGM gamedata/sounds the folders with the weird symbols (like Äðóãàÿ) contain the music wich plays on the menu and player, now just get an .ogg file and replace as you want, you can't really add music, just replace.

Sam Fisher is part of Freedom now? Well I'll be damned.

Roadside picnic was an amazing book, you can easily see the similarities between it and STALKER. I want to learn Russian now so i can read it in it's original language.

how do i tame animals in sgm? i'm trying to tame a psuedodog with the p-dog taming kit but when i wait around it doesnt do anything. i'll wait the full 30 seconds and the dog will still be attacking me. after that i will have to put the dog down via double-barreled shotgun. anyone know a way to help me out here, or is it a problem with just my game?

I reckon CS had some pretty good voice acting, compared to CoP anyway... Also, does that explain why the lip syncs don't match up any of the dialogue? Because the lip syncs were actually intended for the Russian sound files, not the English ones?

Which is the better P.R.I.P.Y.A.T.A.N? ARMS or gold? edit: k well ARMS is the newest version. edit: eh fuck pripyatan. Could anyone upload a stamina fix/change for MISERY? I want to try it out but im not going to if you cant sprint for long. Did anyone make a price adjustment change aswell? So i dont have to spend every ruble I have on food.

[QUOTE=Chrispy_645;34218357]I reckon CS had some pretty good voice acting, compared to CoP anyway...[/QUOTE] It was horrible and you felt like being in a STALKER-themed sitcom because it was way too jolly all the time, even the comments of the random stalkers. [editline]herp[/editline] Then again, Clear Sky got Stephen Blum :v: . [QUOTE=Chrispy_645;34218357]Also, does that explain why the lip syncs don't match up any of the dialogue?

After all the game was made primarily for the russian-speaking audience (which is good)

[QUOTE=Glitch360;34216612]STALKER 2 English voice acting will degrade to grunts and barely audible voices with extremely heavy accents :v:[/QUOTE] My bet would be Microsoft Sam with a russian accent.

You may notice their mouths move when they play guitar as well.

Just got back from holidays. Didn't I say Misery was going to be shitty but nobody listened to me?

[QUOTE=Muukkis;34216604] Seriously speaking, I wish they would make the russian audio with subtitles the default language choice. Who am I kidding, no publisher will agree to that, not with STALKER at least [/QUOTE] Like Russian voice acting is any better, yeah. When I see these cut-scenes, both in English and in Russian, I feel somewhat awkward and shameful. That feeling, like in the cafe some drunk kid starts to sing or dance, and you just stand up and leave. Something like that.

I like (hate) how the STALKER modding community has turned into graphical overhaul mods with some 'realistic' additions. Innovation dissapeared when AMK died. It makes me sad.

I'm pretty much always on the lookout for mods that try and improve the A-Life in some way. I don't know about you guys but it's my favourite thing about STALKER, and it always has been. All those awesome moments you have, like you're about to raid a base and all of a sudden a pseudogiant comes out of nowhere and fucks your shit up, is the kind of shit I like. Or maybe you stumbled across a stalker in the rookie village and then a week later you see him in Agroprom with a VSS and exoskeleton... :v: For me that's what also makes STALKER so memorable. ** EDIT ** I still don't really have a server to try this on yet (apart from using my own home computer as a server), but here's some random flowchart I made: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12453703/lcxn.png[/img]

It makes me sad.[/QUOTE] I don't get all the hate for Misery, you raise a good point. Pretty much every mod except for AMK and a very small selection of other mods are all pretty interchangeable. I think Misery is pretty good, Redux has always been a favorite of mine as well. I really enjoyed I Work Alone, and with some tweaks of my own I've been having fun playing Misery. Right now this thread feels like a big circlejerk over not liking it.

The STALKER community isn't the most popular/exciting one, if you have another subject, by all means, share it with us. In other news, the Particle Paradise mod just, erm, started getting released. What are people's thoughts on that? IMO it looks interesting but the creator is [pleasedonotshowthispartifthedevisonfacepunchunderadifferentname]pretty fucking annoying.[/pleasedonotshowthispartifthedevisonfacepunchunderadifferentname]

Maybe the difference of perception is that I didn't get hyped about it. I honestly didn't even know about the mod till a few weeks ago. That's usually how I play STALKER, I just come back into it every once in awhile since I've played the hell out of all the games. I've had my eye on that People Soup mod, but haven't gotten around to trying it. Would you guys recommend it?

What is NLC?
