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

NLC tends to go into too hard territory for me, mainly because of how ineffective your actions are against the enemies, which always have an advantage against you because they're pretty much a harder version of vanilla enemies. And don't even get me started on the texture work. People Soup's fine(except in Agroprom), but it's less consistent than NLC.

[QUOTE=Chrispy_645;34219734]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_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12453703/lcxn.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] This looks awesome! But I'm guessing it won't update while you're playing the game? That's fine though, you'll still have new loner conversations every time you start the game!

[QUOTE=Ghost101;34220581]What is NLC?[/QUOTE]It's a pretty hardcore Russian mod. It has magazine vests and pouches for ammo (the only way you can reload weapons), lots of new quests, and several new areas. And shitloads of other stuff, too much to type [editline]15th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=K1ngo64;34220583]I have no clue what causes it, I haven't played it in a year or two.

[QUOTE=Glitch360;34220627]Whenever I play NLC, it takes me 40 min-1 hour to get to Garbage. Those fucking invisible anomalies, sprinting is suicidal in NLC[/QUOTE] I'm more concerned about the mutants. Every time I come across a pack of dogs I desperately try to reach a safe spot because those motherfuckers will just maul on you while you hopelessly try to crawl away from them because the mod mechanics prevent you from escaping if the pack is anywhere near you. Also for some reason it really likes to crash on my end.

Okay, so I'm back from a 14-hour trip to Sigerous Zone and look what I got to show you guys: [img_thumb]http://bookofjesus.org/images/tpdskrgk8kl90rbd62ot.jpg[/img_thumb] This is a fucking kick-ass artefact, if I only had more of these...

Green, did you overslept or stayed out of a single area for too long? The mutants overpopulate if you do so.

[QUOTE=croguy;34221560]Green, did you overslept or stayed out of a single area for too long? The mutants overpopulate if you do so.[/QUOTE] I actually move between the three areas quite often to find the most artifacts. Only after all that happened did I stay in Pripyat to grind up my rank with the "kill 400 psy zombies" mission. Oh and fuck you SGM you took my Vintorez because I wanted to freeplay. Fuck you.

Did you enabled "spawn more mutants"? :v:

[QUOTE=croguy;34221616]Did you enabled "spawn more mutants"? :v:[/QUOTE] ;_; Yes. I did. I regret my decision. I thought it'd make just a little more dogs or maybe more mutants during night-time, but this...it's ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;34216604]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. 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 [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-smith.gif[/img] [editline]herp[/editline] Then again, they could make the russian dialogue w/ subtitles a day one "patch".[/QUOTE] I'll never forget you Mr. Aruzhie Brau or whatever.

[QUOTE='[Green];34221632'];_; Yes. I did. I regret my decision. I thought it'd make just a little more dogs or maybe more mutants during night-time, but this...it's ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Someone way back posted images from when they enabled "spawn more mutants at night" and slept for a week or so to get bank interest up. Herds of psuedogiants. HERDS.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;34221836]That actually makes me want to play it again now, thanks for reminding me of it :D[/QUOTE] I was gonna post my screenshots of three chimeras and a pseudogiant, but now - what's the point. Also, for some reason Alpha squads are still spawning even though I've turned them off. Is this a known issue?

I once slept for two days in SGM, then I went for a stash hunt in Zaton. Then I walk over a hill near Krug, and see at least 100 pseudodogs. I hightail it back to Krug but then I realize that it's occupied by two Alpha Squads. Then I spent half an hour running away from a threesome that was a fight among the dogs and the Alpha Squads.

After I turned them on, EVERY TIME I went to the building where the bloodsucker nest was these was a squad hiding in it. That place is a fucking good place to hole up, let me tell you. Pretty much no cover running up to it and you can't hide anywhere inside so you have to shoot in the windows. Such a pain in the ass to get like 2 SGM stashes in there.

[QUOTE=Araknid;34222480]Great, now you made me want to do the bloodsucker lair mission, then use that place as a hideout, and act like an insane stalker and gun down anyone who comes near.[/QUOTE] Better not turn Alpha Squads on then. By the time you come back after turning in the lair quest, they'll be there. Waiting.

I just soloed three bloodsuckers and fourteen chimeras with a PKM and an exo. I feel like a fucking Rambo right now. [sp]tho i spent like 500 7.62 MG rounds, fuckshit they're so expensive[/sp]

[QUOTE=Araknid;34223237]then use your... [b]DETECTOR[/b][/QUOTE] DETECTOR, I CHOOSE YOU USE DETECT DETECTOR PROTECTED ITSELF AGAINST ALL ATTACKS wait you're shielded but what about me

so after i tried saving the dawn head quarters in SGM (and failing miserably, a pseudogiant fucked everyone up) as i was walking around, looting the dead bodies i happen to see 1 little yellow dot on my radar. i run up to check it out and see one smug looking dawn soldier walking down from the top of the hill. this one, however, had a fucking RPG. he could've save his entire faction had he shot at the psuedogiant with the rest of us.

Alpha squads are such dicks i mean: Me: "Gotta find some artifacts at oakpine" A squad: "Lol no." Me: "God fucking damn it" *find cover from 100% acurate bullets* *get flushed out with nades that have a blast radius of 200m* *get headshoted right after i lean* *one guys teabags me* *rage-quit*
