I feel as though FP and the GSC forums (obv) are the only places with a non-retarded stalker community

Excluding parts of their community that go around flaunting this as the best option ever (overriding vanilla) they're not a bad community as far as I've seen.

[QUOTE=Rollindeep;41902435][url]http://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1klq8s/firsttime_stalker_misery_is_a_fickle_bitch_album/[/url][/QUOTE] reddit kills me

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;41902470]So much gringe, this is why I stopped following r/stalker.[/QUOTE] That album is definitely cringeworthy but I can't see anything wrong with the comment section.

[QUOTE=Rollindeep;41902435][url]http://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1klq8s/firsttime_stalker_misery_is_a_fickle_bitch_album/[/url][/QUOTE] Exactly why I unsubbed from there: Every post is "Wow I just got this amazing game!" and the comments are some guy with 200 upvotes saying "Be sure to install the Complete mod before you play the game since it just updates the graphics and fixes a few bugs" Now we have people who play Misery before vanilla and they get appluaded It makes me sick to my stomach.

Tell me what the fuck is wrong with people that they think vanilla is at all bad? And why the fuck would you play a mod first. No matter how good or bad it is, it's a [I]mod[/I], not its own game. You should be able to fucking tell what the mod adds if you are going to play with it. I mean fuck I played SoC vanilla for the first time in 2012 even without any bugfixes and there was so much to like about it, and CoP is the one that is considered mechanically better, and it has way less bugs. It just irks me because their first run based on suggestions will be "the mod developer's vision of STALKER" rather than "The developers vision of STALKER" I mean you wouldn't fucking go and buy HL2 if you missed it and do your first playthrough with SMOD tactical.

Oh man playing HL2 first time with SMOD Tactical would be so weird. That reminds me, is that mod dead? It was pretty fucking rad.

I think the original is dead but there might be some updated versions floating around somewhere. I just remembered the other day a nightmare I had back in like, 2008, when I had a shit computer and couldn't run Crysis. In it, I basically found out my school had a computer that could run it, so I played it there but when I was leaving everything was dark and sewer-like, and this freaky monster came out of the blackness and killed my friends and came for me. Fast forward to a couple of days ago, I remember the dream and realize, that fucking monster was a Bloodsucker from STALKER. Before I'd even played farther than the garbage, before I'd even seen one on anything but a picture on the internet, I found out SoC still had an impact on me. My love for the franchise was meant to be.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;41903179]Oh man playing HL2 first time with SMOD Tactical would be so weird. That reminds me, is that mod dead? It was pretty fucking rad.[/QUOTE]As far as I can tell, their last released version was in 2008, and their main site is dead. There's Project Life for Smod Tactical, which aims to fix the leftover bugs, but that hasn't released a version since 2010. It's surprisingly hard to keep track of all the submods for Smod, it's got more children than a Saudi king.

Aw man, I'm getting all nostalgia here now because of that mod, played it a ton ages ago.

i just consumed an entire tin of shokakola fffffffuck my eyes can't focus on anything time to go play faction wars hlep

Shout Cheeki Breeki constantly at the top of your lungs and it'll wear off

fuck you im laughing now nonsstop you're a faggot bloodshot

Holy fuck. Almost every single thread on r/STALKER is about Misery 2

[QUOTE='[Green];41903271']i just consumed an entire tin of shokakola fffffffuck my eyes can't focus on anything time to go play faction wars hlep[/QUOTE] It probably has nothing to do with the caffeine but rather how you never eat sugar.

Stalkan pantaloons dispatched! oya so excited~~

Deeply irritating, to say the least.

LURK is pretty fun, though I don't like how the bleeding and stamina icons/notifications have been replaced by screen filters. It's very annoying.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;41903701]Holy fuck. Almost every single thread on r/STALKER is about Misery 2[/QUOTE] I really ask myself how we could let this happen. How I could let this happen :v: I myself [b]HATE[/b] it when people do this, really. I've tasted vanilla of all 3 games several times, making sure i got everything the dev's want me to get BEFORE modding the damn game(s). So, is there someone who is experience with GIF images? I want to make something for on the MISERY mainpage. The width will be 950px and the height 200px. It will be 2 images with 1 saying:"First time visiting the zone? Be sure to play it without mods first and taste the ice without adding sprinkles!" and the second one to be like the dead stalker on the ground in the FP .gif image saying:"Or end up like this". IMHO best idea yet, should've done this before.

I played SoC vanilla back when it came out, but I wouldn't blame someone if they wanted to play with that bugfix mod or something. In the end it's a singleplayer game, so it doesn't really matter what they do with it anyway.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;41906218]LURK is pretty fun, though I don't like how the bleeding and stamina icons/notifications have been replaced by screen filters. It's very annoying.[/QUOTE] no way, i think that's cool as hell. dunno what was wrong with my laptop at the time, but when i was playing with LURK, any part of the HUD wouldn't be displayed on my screen. made it more difficult, and i thought it was awesome.

Apart from the jelly screen~

I think that it's just that most of us have been playing STALKER for so long that we forget how normally people don't play single-player games, especially FPS games multiple times so people buy it and treat it as an FPS game you play through once and forget about afterward so it's understandable that when an anticipated mod with large amounts of media presence (Complete and Misery) releases and queues a lot of people's interest, they figure out they might as well get the best possible experience right away. [QUOTE=Ghost101;41906712]In the end it's a singleplayer game, so it doesn't really matter what they do with it anyway.[/QUOTE] True, but it's unfortunate when someone puts in a mod that is [I]really[/I] different from the base game and either hates it and the games by association, thinking the base game is like that or falls in love with it and then compares every mod to that, creating an expectation that nothing else compares to. [QUOTE='[Green];41906869']Now if ~artistpavel~ were to do the same, the STALKER community would become full circle..[/QUOTE] While the Complete series of mods is wholly unnecessary and a notch or two easier, at the very least it doesn't stray that far from the original experience and the Clear Sky Complete was actually relatively decent and fixing some glitches present in the game.
