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

It's almost NLC6 for CoP, I'd say, but with less new content and more publicity.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40874608]It's like doing anal 1st time with a steel stick. It gets more rusty the more you do.[/QUOTE] Is it just me or am I passively influencing this thread's denizens?

Man the exos were hard, but after taking a break last night, I finally cleared that fucker of a Waste treatment plant on Misery. Probably should have chosen the sniper for the moist nugget, I chose assault solely because I always end up being a packrat. [QUOTE=AppleJackson;40874641]Like, the worst parts are that I can't carry anything without being exhausted, medkits are scarce and barely do anything, and shit will just come out of nowhere and headshot me and it makes me sad :c[/QUOTE] They don't use grenades as often as you would see on vanilla Clear Sky, but man they are accurate with them in Misery. My only real complaints with Misery would be the AIs stellar accuracy whilst running compared to ours, and the fact that they will happily spew out thousands of rounds, yet have no more than 10 in their inventory after killing them, but from a gameplay point of view, that actually makes ammunition important, and the enemies challenging which is good. Still mildly irritating when Owl doesn't have any 5.45 x 39s for sale though. :v:

God I know, it's next to impossible to find ammo for my AK in Zaton. What I do love though is how your enemies die as quickly as you do, so your 100 or so rounds will last you a while as compared to vanilla where enemies will suck up an entire mag before dieing.

Pistols are genuinely amazing on Misery too (APB Stechkin can have my babies, sorry 6p9!), and my god the MP5 wrecks even more shit than before. Only fired a few shots from my akaban, but that is great too. Misery just makes guns fun to use! The 9x19 you get in the waste processing plant should last me ages though, you get about 150 of it.

Those should be quite helpful, leave alone the AKS/74U and other medical supplies they have.

(and this is why they were all removed in Redux v1.0)

[QUOTE=Beacon;40875863](and this is why they were all removed in Redux v1.0)[/QUOTE] Aw :v: They're a good head start; at least put the convoy contents in a more secret location which you have to figure out.

Course paper first iteration is done, now I just have to find out how many pages I have to fix, present the bastard and finish three more exams. Then SUMMER WRITING 2013 can begin.

[QUOTE=Araknid;40872220]Next version of swartz is using the shoker style weapon addons without the bags, will have a mag system similar to redux, and also [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/505/504302/74.jpg[/t] sexy AK[/QUOTE]A new version is being worked on? Awesome :D

[QUOTE=Etcetera;40877394]There's a storm coming.[/QUOTE] Redux will have a lot more of everything!

Hey, I'm looking to make another run through these games. Last time I played was with the Complete mods because I wanted some graphics improvements but CS Complete makes me crash when I get to Limansk. What's the best CS mod out there for graphics and realistic game balance? (the preferred-mod lists in the OP are dead) edit: in hindsight, not implying complete has realistic game balance. i just want to try playing a harder game.

ah well might as well ask what are the BEST graphical mods for call of pripyat hopefully my saves still work

Atmosfear 3/Absolute Nature 3/Absolute Structures/SWTC/Particle Paradise/maybe a few weapon reskins

Are the three games related to each other story wise? Could I jump into for example Call of Pripyat even when I've not finished Shadow of Chernobyl yet?

[QUOTE=PredGD;40879265]Are the three games related to each other story wise?[/QUOTE] Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky supplement the main story arc that is presented in SoC. [QUOTE=PredGD;40879265]Could I jump into for example Call of Pripyat even when I've not finished Shadow of Chernobyl yet?[/QUOTE] This is not advised as even the beginning of CoP kinda spoils some heavy story stuff that happens in Shadow of Chernobyl.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;40879278]Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky supplement the main story arc that is presented in SoC.[/QUOTE] So I should finish Shadow of Chernobyl before moving onto those?

Do Shadow of Chernobyl, then do CS if you want, then CoP. You can skip CS, but it's worth a play, even if it is the weakest of the 3, the faction wars mechanic had a lot of potential. CoP is technically the best in terms of gameplay and smoothness, but I almost prefer SoC in some ways, I almost enjoyed the linearity a tiny bit, and maybe how Cordon was all pistols and shotguns at first.

i want to play through SOC again, what's a good mod besides misery? also no complete please

Misery is not for SoC

Even if you just give them 4-5 magazines they'd probably burn through it in no time flat. It'd add a lot to immersion if you actually saw guys run out of ammo (sometimes, not all the time) and have to run or get killed.

STALKER Soup is fun too if you have a rig that can run it and a lot of patience. :v:

[QUOTE=Beacon;40880953]Misery is not for SoC[/QUOTE] Isn't there a SoC version being worked on?

[QUOTE=Beacon;40880953]Misery is not for SoC[/QUOTE] oh yeah that's right last time i played stalker it was cop. i'm bad at remembering things

There's also this [URL]http://www.moddb.com/mods/paradise-lost-modification[/URL] But it has some quality issues and really isn't that great if you have no interest in 'old' STALKER, graphically.
