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

So whats up with the c-con ending of SHOC? I know him [sp]killing them is canon but where is he in the grass? Was that excluded for CoP?[/sp]

[QUOTE=1239the;34317756]My Russian friend just bet me a copy of STALKER 2 that he can complete all three STALKER games in chronological order on Master mode in one day with no saves.[/QUOTE] He's a mad man...

[QUOTE=Ghost101;34319694]Anyone else running StalkerSoup encounter the weird issue where if you reload a save in the Dark Valley, you warp back to the southern entrance? I initially came in the regular way, through the Dump, but then it warped me over there where it says the Cordon entrance is. It saves all my progress properly but resets my location to there.[/QUOTE]Yeah it did that to me too. Whenever you exit X18 it does it too, it messes everything up so you gotta go all the way back to the lab (not inside though) and then continue normally for you to able to leave Dark Valley

Took out the perimeter guards, then snuck into the main buildings, killed a few sleeping bandits, then the wandering ones. It was satisfying.

Holy shit Pripyat is a war zone. Instead of 6-7 stalkers that try to get through Pripyat, there's ~35 of them, and even more Monolithians My poor computer can't take all this :v:

Good news, everyone! [URL="http://www.rasputinator.com/fs_mod_merge_v0.7.7z"]Here's[/URL] an alternate non-dropbox mirror for Doom's Mod. Chucked it up on my webhost, enjoy!

[QUOTE=Garik;34320640]The fact that pripyat was a hellish warzone ruined pripyat for me.[/QUOTE] Technically that's what it's supposed to be like according to the discussions of the stalkers.

[QUOTE=croguy;34320788]Technically that's what it's supposed to be like according to the discussions of the stalkers.[/QUOTE] Still. Too much fighting in STALKER is quite annoying. STALKER isn't meant to be a war game.

[QUOTE=Garik;34321291]Still. Too much fighting in STALKER is quite annoying. STALKER isn't meant to be a war game.[/QUOTE] Really? That's what I thought when I got stuck in Kopachi after the zombie spawns glitched and didn't stop working. So much loot, not enough space.

[QUOTE=Garik;34321291]STALKER isn't meant to be a war game.[/QUOTE] If we're talking about the SoC Pripyat it's supposed to be a part of the final gauntlet to the NPP and it would be just boring to stroll through the city without encountering anything since when you go to Pripyat you aren't most likely coming back to the Bar anymore. In Freeplay, Pripyat is much, much quieter though it still has military stalkers, monolith and duty/freedom milling about. Then there's the CoP Pripyat which went full retard into the opposite direction. I mean : it's really atmospheric to walk through the city but it really pains me when it's so goddamn obvious that there are only a tiny number of Monolith dudes and they never really leave their little areas. It'd be really tense if there was at least a [I]chance[/I] to bump into hostile Monolith groups.

There's also a reason why nearly everyone wears an exosuit in SoC Pripyat.

[QUOTE=ThatCrazyGmanV2;34316621] There is only a single, disturbing piece of footage regarding the [i]Homo Mercus Spinus[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/eMlOR.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Looks like someone out in cam_inert 1

[QUOTE=proch;34321478]Looks like someone out in cam_inert 1[/QUOTE] I tried playing in cam_inert 2 once. It didn't work.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;34319093]Every upload site probably shit their pants when Megaupload got taken down and removed everything that [I]might[/I] include copyright content. Dunno how long they were down though. Blaberry needs to get his FTP up again...[/QUOTE] He needs to DOWNLOAD [B]ALL[/B] THE MODS.

[QUOTE=1239the;34317756]My Russian friend just bet me a copy of STALKER 2 that he can complete all three STALKER games in chronological order on Master mode in one day with no saves.[/QUOTE] That's not even hard? He only needs a bit of time on his hands. On vanilla all the games are extremely easy if you know what you're doing. CoP can probably be completed in three hours.

[QUOTE=proch;34321553]He needs to DOWNLOAD [B]ALL[/B] THE MODS.[/QUOTE] He already [I]has[/I] all the mods...

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;34321756]He already [I]has[/I] all the mods...[/QUOTE] So that's what "Internet.rar" is...

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;34321682]That's not even hard? He only needs a bit of time on his hands.[/QUOTE] Except that Clear Sky's Limansk is probably one of the hardest levels in STALKER if you don't save. That construction yard will fuck him over many times, I bet. [QUOTE=Zezibesh;34321682]On vanilla all the games are extremely easy if you know what you're doing. [/QUOTE] Except the end stretch of Clear Sky, especially if you just rush ahead and don't save. [QUOTE=Zezibesh;34321682]CoP can probably be completed in three hours.[/QUOTE] Technically yes, if you don't do side quests but Shadow of Chernobyl can be completed really fast if your only goal is to get to the end of the game. You can even bypass the Brain Scorcher by spamming medkits.

Clear Sky will be the hardest of them, I agree.

[QUOTE=Cone;34321897]I read once that it's possible to complete SoC in about fifteen minutes if you do sequence breaking.[/QUOTE] I call bullshit, how can you get around so fast? And don't even get me started on the loading times.

God damn this thread is active. I like it, i'm about halfway through Misery and its pretty fun but I run out of stamina as Recon even with 14kg of equipment after like 3 seconds of sprinting. Also it runs out even when im walking. Its kinda frustrating

[QUOTE=croguy;34321997]I call bullshit, how can you get around so fast? And don't even get me started on the loading times.[/QUOTE] You can skip the plot at quite a few points like you can pretty much skip the Agroprom operation completely by killing the guys guarding the Duty's garbage checkpoint which is supposed to unlock access to Rostok. [del]15 mins is ludachris[/del] Two hours minus loading times would seem actually pretty plausible playtime from a experience player seems plausible. [editline]herp[/editline] Oh wait, here's one done in [B]17 minutes[/B] Granted, it's on novice difficulty but still... [url]http://speeddemosarchive.com/STALKER.html[/url]
