S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians - Games

[QUOTE=Ghost101;41906712]I wouldn't say that, there are mods that just bugfix things or do little changes to make the game better. 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] But I'm not talking about the bugfix mods. Stuff like the ZRP is perfectly fine for a first playthrough because, unlike what people say, the ZRP doesn't actually change the gameplay, just fixes problems. I honestly didn't have any problematic bugs with my vanilla playthrough of SoC though, the worst one I encountered was after exiting x18 one of the military troops phased through the walls and shot me in the back.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41908118]I wish it was more inventory-tetris I love inventory-tetris[/QUOTE] There was once a Tetrisversion in form of Stalker if I remember correctly, you might want to look into that :v:

So, I'm just doing the beginning quests at the start of SoC, doing a bit of exploring in LURK, and loving it frankly. But then, I go to do to the tunnel running mission with all the anomalies you have to avoid, I do that no problem, a few deaths cause frankly I suck at figuring out those paths with the bolts. But there's some pseudo dogs running around, and the military guys at the bridge are lured out by this, and they come to kill those dogs, I think they're shooting at me so I take out the two closest to me with a pistol, loot them, I don't think nothing of it. I go see Fox or whatever for that quest, decide to head up to the exit, and what do I see? A huge battle had recently, or had been taking place. Bodies of stalkers and bandits are littered everywhere, it's a looting fest, and more guys are coming through, mostly stalkers, but there seems to be bandit fire coming from up the hill, at the checkpoint. I go deal with those guys, and I find just the biggest road of corpses I've ever seen in this game. it's just ridiculous up here. So I figure, hey, i'll run all this junk back and sell it, i'll make some money, might as well go take out the last 3 or so guys at the bridge. A few saves and attempts later, I'm back at sirdorivich with a lot of guns and a lot of money now. I'm going to go finally leave cordon. Nope. I'm not. Because the military base to the right of sirdorivich has decided to either come after me, or come after this camp. Huge firefight breaks out, all the military guys end up dead, all of that camp ends up dead, and I go over to check the military base. It is completely empty. Everyone left. In a few short hours, my stalker has massacred the entire military of the cordon area from what I can tell. I remember master being harder than this? or maybe I was shittier at games(very likely.)

[QUOTE=Beacon;41908118]I wish it was more inventory-tetris I love inventory-tetris[/QUOTE] Resident Evil 4 all over again even more so in System Shock 2 I would actually love this.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41908118]I wish it was more inventory-tetris I love inventory-tetris[/QUOTE] Inventory Tetris is awesome! RE4 is a great example of that.

[QUOTE=junker154;41908127]There was once a Tetrisversion in form of Stalker if I remember correctly, you might want to look into that :v:[/QUOTE] S.T.A.C.K.E.R.? It's an awesome game.

There is this game called Dungeon Seige that has inventory-tetris, with a million different items.

when I make my 2d stalker game it'll have a tetris inventory

Well then you have to get rid of the weight system, because having a weight system and tetris system would be a bit to limiting. Anyway a stalker game with a tetris like inventory would be a neat variation.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41908118]I wish it was more inventory-tetris I love inventory-tetris[/QUOTE] Inventory-tetris works best when you're able to turn items. Playing Diablo for years has made me fucking despise 4x2 and 2x1 items.

Is it possible to add limited inventory space in the STALKER games?

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;41909091]Inventory-tetris works best when you're able to turn items. Playing Diablo for years has made me fucking despise 4x2 and 2x1 items.[/QUOTE] yep, turning would be in of course

I quit :v: damn, this guy's on his own yet he does this. Deffo badass imho. Some may not like the brightness of these screens but hot damn! Those shaders ... Sauce; [URL]http://www.moddb.com/mods/irradiation[/URL]

that is what the Zone should look like to me. [editline]20th August 2013[/editline] those bottom 3 look like real life photos in their thumbnails

Indeed, he's doing it 1:1 [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/20/19093/Compare3.1.jpg[/t]

uhm, those don't look anything alike :P [editline]20th August 2013[/editline] the thumbnails in your first post look lovely, if a little bright fullscreening though makes it a lot less impressive

[QUOTE=Beacon;41909309]uhm, those don't look anything alike :P [editline]20th August 2013[/editline] the thumbnails in your first post look lovely, if a little bright fullscreening though makes it a lot less impressive[/QUOTE] I do agree, but this is because of SHoC's limitations (and it's a really old screen lol) Also, I think the lightning (especially) looks really, really convincing, judging from these screens and the vid.

I don't think it's anything to do with limitations though, they're just funadmentally different places like, totally unrelated [editline]20th August 2013[/editline] the game screen isn't even an attempt to recreate the scene from the photo

I love that re-skin of the stalker suit, making the Kevlar vest part stand out from the protective suit.

I left a key-word out:"[I]Lightning[/I]"

Looks pretty, definitely better than the brown dirt we're used too

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41909341]I left a key-word out:"[I]Lightning[/I]"[/QUOTE] I saw not even one bolt of lightning. The [I]lighting[/I] is pretty good though.

[t]http://i.minus.com/ibzjo2Y2aeIlgq.gif[/t] These bandits did this while shouting the usual Cheeki Breeki one after the other. I think they were trying to invoke the Breeki spirit to ward me away.

Don't underestimate the power of Russian Wizards.

So aside from LURK, what SoC mods do you guys recommend?

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41909198]So, any of your opinions on this: -dayum- [/QUOTE] Holy shit, this is almost photorealistic. A tad too bright, and the tree models could use some work, but still, damn. I live in Eastern Europe (well, sort of - depends on who you ask :v: ) and that's really close to what the countryside looks like around here in the summer. [editline]21st August 2013[/editline] also it's been a while since I posted and I doubt anyone here actually remembers me here but I just wanted to say that this thread in its various iterations is probably one of the greatest little communities I've seen on the internet Y'all are cool yo

Perfecto.

Add the rift in and you'll think you are actually in the exclusion zone
