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

I always side with beard. He sells me stuff pretty cheaply and I like siding with the stalkers.

Does anyone know how to get bullet tracers back into Misery? [quote]tracer = off ; off[/quote] I tried editing the weapons config file for a few different calibers but it doesn't seem to work. [QUOTE=Pops;46449164] anyways, this [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NNsD4qm.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Tactical crab.

Nevermind I didn't realize you were supposed to bring along two extra ones. bah.

[QUOTE=Cone;46451046]i expect something with the stalker name will be made eventually. if sergei still has the rights by that point then he might want to get his name back out there, since that's apparently why he started GSC to begin with - or at least it seems like it was once he started making enough money to buy sports cars. but since all the guys who developed the games have moved onto other companies, whatever comes of it if anything will probably not be very good[/QUOTE] I don't know, I mean GSC were pretty neat guys but It's not like they were supertalents. I think it could be either better or worse.

Does anyone have any reccomendations for SoC mods? The link to the list of reccomended mods in the OP is dead.

[QUOTE=proch;46456731]I don't know, I mean GSC were pretty neat guys but It's not like they were supertalents. I think it could be either better or worse.[/QUOTE] yeah you're completely right, it could go either way. it's not so much that i think no one else could handle the development as it is that i would fully expect sergei to ruthlessly fuck around with the whole project, and in particular everyone working on it. especially with how hideously upsetting the cancellation was for those developers he pretty much sucker-punched out the door [editline]10th November[/editline] and i mean i'm not usually the kind of guy who gets personal over things like this, i don't like to name specific people cos it's just video games. but he made it such a bizarrely personal kick to the gut for those poor guys that i'm still kinda reeling from just how mean-spirited it was

Yeah. Sadly I doubt the IP will fall out of his hands. The only hope we have of that is his death I guess :v: [editline]10th November 2014[/editline] I think the best hope we have is Vostok making money of Survarium and getting budget for a Stalker spiritual successor. I guess they don't want to make a spiritual successor from scraps.

The link to the list of reccomended mods in the OP is dead.[/QUOTE] Borrowed from the /vg/ STALKER thread; there's two repositories you can look through for SoC: [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!d9JWAKhY!5bz-uoKeoCfjOajIOtjrCg[/url] (older) [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!rQN2lY5Y!E0JvZQq9CCS_9wuaQvVaOg[/url] (newer) And a pastebin with some info: [url]http://pastebin.com/FUPEbLiv[/url] CoP Repos: [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!ZEwSWLrY!Q2of8E5UwS4iY7suAIdr7w[/url] [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!CBERxLrb!a7hDfSxns-sgNZmh_UsJAA[/url] Lastly, the CS repo: [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!rJsCXbQS!TP8rAke0EJMDSjDtTg8Xmg[/url]

I really hope Survarium does a 180 and impresses the hell out of everybody with the freeplay. I feel the gunplay feels quite nice (just needs lean) but that's not what I (or any other STALKER fan) is interested in it for.

Anyone got a good guide for Misery? Most of them seem to be centered around tips and hints, I just need explanations for some of the items and hud icons.

Btw,OGSE question (yes I decided to go back to OGSE. Dunno what it is, but I just like OGSE better than stalkersoup for some reason). ... What use does Pellet shot have? I'm a shotgun sort myself (Forget assault rifles. TOZ-34/Sagia all the way!) but I find that pellet... really doesn't do much of anything. It has more pellets, yes, but that hardly seems to make much of a difference when It takes 2 pellet shot rounds at point-blank to kill a cat (the weakest non-rodent enemy in the game) Maybe I'm just using it wrong, but it just seems that buckshot is far superior in every way. That also goes for slugs vs Darts btw.

[QUOTE=Pops;46458915]sergei's reputation is now solely for killing stalker nothing good can come out of this[/QUOTE] I wonder how many people who know of him [I]don't[/I] hate him.

What mods are used for COP nowadays?

Survarium in 4K [t]http://i.imgur.com/prOTJhy.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=LoNer1;46461834]Survarium in 4K [t]http://i.imgur.com/prOTJhy.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Looks like an average Stalker screenshot. Which is a good thing.

Yeah but isn't in an MMO? I mean that's just an insta-kill for all I care

[QUOTE=proch;46461906]Yeah but isn't in an MMO? I mean that's just an insta-kill for all I care[/QUOTE] I still have a little faith for freeplay they promised. But yeah, right now it's just a crappy mmo shooter.

I'd love if they actually decides to make a separate SP game if survarium is successful.

SURE MISERY, MAKE THE DOGS [I]LAUNCH[/I] AT ME TOO. WHY THE FUCK NOT :v: [vid]http://s1.webmshare.com/xaD9X.webm[/vid] you can actually see my aim twitch, due to it effectively scaring the fuck out of me it's like they coordinated an attack to push me off the pipe because I was being a wimp

Dog packs are the most horrifying enemy I have faced in MISERY, even bloodsuckers or snorks dont kill me as quick as those guys.

So whats the difference in SGM eton edition?

[QUOTE=Monkey san;46463788]So whats the difference in SGM eton edition?[/QUOTE] It's a kitchen sink mod. Play vanilla SGM.

Guess who got his PC running again?

[QUOTE=proch;46461906]Yeah but isn't in an MMO? I mean that's just an insta-kill for all I care[/QUOTE]It's not an MMO in the traditional sense, more in the typical "MMOFPS" thing with all the F2P games. It's like a stalker game where instead of going back to the bar or the barge or whatever and selling your shit, you're back in the main menu bunker and organize your shit. In practice it feels pretty similar, even if it's not one massive connected world.

Its an unfinished game that is still in development of its core gameplay elements and systems, using T:DM as a test bed because it was easy to produce and because it is a great way to brute-test weapon balance and game mechanics. Free-Play won't be for awhile and while I think its obvious they want to make something very STALKER like, its not STALKER nor in a completed state to be compared to it. It is not an MMO, the T:DM functions like any other Deathmatch in any games and the Free-Play will be around to my knowledge a big number but nothing MMO like. [editline]11th November 2014[/editline] TL:DR I'd forget about it until it becomes a more open/developed game if I was any of you, but for I personally, I been beta-testing it for awhile and have no regret.

[QUOTE=woot835;46463503]Dog packs are the most horrifying enemy I have faced in MISERY, even bloodsuckers or snorks dont kill me as quick as those guys.[/QUOTE] Snorks are my mortal enemies. For some I just can't seem to kill them quickly and they love to kick me even when I dodge their main leap.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;46464109]And that's not?[/QUOTE] Vanilla SGM is ok. Aside from Swamp with mines. Enot edition filled with mostly awful/broken weapons and useless stuff.
