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

[BloodShot12]

I'm sure most people will disagree with me, but I really like how you have to cover large distances in LA.

Sure, there are times when you have to go back somewhere and it can be annoying, but I like being able to plan a trip somewhere, and having cars which speed up travel extensively but you have to manage gas I find quite rewarding to make a successful trek.

I actually made it through forest low on gas by cutting across and riding down hills and only starting it up when i needed to get over a hill and I made it with a tiny bit of gas left, and it just felt really rewarding to me (also my trunk was loaded so i got 20k RU from it too)

Then again, I was that guy who played morrowind and walked all the way to the far away second town instead of taking the silt strider because I didn't know there was fast travel. :D

Vehicles can't even be used in most places; which is a shame considering how they put an emphasis on them in the trailers.
This is the reason why I wanted fast travel in the first place, the vehicles are severely limited.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;44691642]I'm sure most people will disagree with me, but I really like how you have to cover large distances in LA.[/QUOTE]I agree, but seriously, fuck the way you have to take to get to the Bar.

[BloodShot12]

I've p. much memorized it now but whoever made it deserves to be kicked in the face

Although come to think of it I had the same exact problem in the original ShoC. I once spent almost 40 minutes on my first playthrough just trying to find out where to go in the bar.

EDIT:

Did this military guy skin a bandit and wear him or something

he's cool tho, gave me a mission to assassinate some bandit because I didn't shoot first because they were red.

[Ghost101]

The worst part is, can they even fix the Bar's paths at this point?

[BloodShot12]

Shit, that's a good point

Maybe if they could like, spawn in a physics object you could use to climb one of the closed gates so you don't have to go around, maybe freeze it. Though i don't know if that's possible in game in XRay.

I love the new ambient track they have for dark valley

[HumanAbyss]

I hate to ask, but how do I fix the no save issue with Lost Alpha?

[QUOTE=Mr.95;44691444]So I'm playing Clear Sky for the first time, and I'm having a lot of fun. I don't understand why people bash this game, is it just a hit or miss type appeal for this one?[/QUOTE]

It's pretty hit and miss, yeah. There's plenty of folks who really enjoyed CS and plenty that thought it was a rather weak game. Personally, I enjoyed it more than SoC and I enjoyed the faction element more than any other game, and the TFW mod just made it that much better.

Speaking of TFW, what's the current version?

[Morbo!!!]

Wow, lost alpha's upgrade system is mashed. The silenced makarov's mag can be increased to 200

For those who want to fix it; gamedata\config\weapons\upgrades\upgrades_pb.ltx
line 122 ammo_mag_size. I set it to 16.

I like CS more than SoC, except for the bleeding. The constant, horrible bleeding every time you take any damage.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;44682069]I was hoping the whole PDA contacts thing would let you talk to other people for quests and transmit stuff so you don't have to go back to them because I really don't like fast travel, but that doesn't work so...[/QUOTE]

That was one of the vids that Dezowave hyped in their videos, but didn't deliver.

[croguy]

God damn it. [sp]I finished the Rostok questline properly again, but I still can't hand over the X-18 files to Petrenko. Did it break because I went to the Sin Mines first, or do I have to make a trek to Yantar as well?[/sp]

Oh wait. [sp]Do you guys know the location of Document no. 4? I dug through the whole map, but I couldn't find it.[/sp]

EDIT

After realizing that I've been missing the fifth item, I decided to head back in and as it turns out the document was in the entrance the whole time, I just never looked in the shelf.

[Poulet Breiz]

The fuck is wrong with car trunks in this game ?
It's either super fucky or you can't locate bloody pixel to open it :(

Holy shit, I've spent 3 hours going trough everything looking for Sterloks stash. AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND IT. I found the book and a nice big room full of loot, BUT NO GOD DAMMNED STASH.

Also Magic Hobos, fuck them for scaring me to stand in a corner in paranoia.

[woot835]

I must say, assulting the military base at broad day was suprisngly easy, they kept killing themselves with nades :D

[Ownederd]

Holy shit player-made map markers are life savers.

You can use them like a trail of breadcrumbs, i used them to highlight the [sp]exit from Sin's mines in darkscape[/sp] so now I no longer get confused

[Lizzrd]

You can use them to mark safe paths through anomaly fields too.

if you dont think that this is the best use of the x-ray engine then get out of my face

[zeldar]

Is there anything I should know before trying to get to the Bar? I've heard it can be confusing.

[DeathFP]

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;44692103]Speaking of TFW, what's the current version?[/QUOTE]
It's still 3.8. If you're looking for it, it's in in this [URL="https://mega.co.nz/#F!zEtSxC4J!eRsovn-n098UpRtLDmr5_w!fJFwlTQa"]Mega repository[/URL] under Clear Sky.

[Waffler]

Lost Alpha just crashes to desktop when starting a new game, it makes me sad :(

[woot835]

Anyone have the bugfix to get into the Bar area? I keep CTD each time I try to travel to the map where Bar is.
