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

[QUOTE=Monolit;41157998]Heya, thought I'd introduce myself to you guys by letting you know that I've been to The Zone and the details are [url=http://pastebin.com/JZ53fziq]here[/url], including a link to the thread where I talk through my journey and a .rar of the 84 pictures I've uploaded. I've clocked all the games vanilla, plus SGM, AMK, ZoA (1.5), OGSM/E, LURK (1.05), and I'm currently on my first Soup playthrough. I tried Misery but it didn't take, and although version 2 might be good I'm not holding my breath. I'm currently running 3 installations: Soup on my steam install of SoC, DOOM's Mod Merge on my CD install of SoC, and vanilla CoP whilst I wait for Misery 2.0 whilst debating whether to just give up and install Swartz instead. My favourite "Named" characters are Master, Sparrow, and Charon, my favourite weapon loadout is SVD/Kora, and my favourite areas are Dark Valley or Limansk for stories and either Pripyat locale for nostalgia. I've also got based bros at the hangar nearest the bar and the "bus stop" opposite Seriy's hangar. I've got two copies of Roadside Pinic, one of which came to The Zone and back with me, and the Tarkovsky film was my favourite film ere the games even existed...oh, and no prizes for guess my favourite faction ;) Anywho, glad to be here, looking forward to the stories, and моноліт4життя![/QUOTE] You have a lovely name.

[QUOTE=Muggi;41155929]Welp, finally, after three years, I've beat Stalker call of Prypiat. No mods. Do I get a medal or something?[/QUOTE] considering i find it to be the shortest stalker, no.

[QUOTE='[Green];41163381']that's what she said[/QUOTE] Jesus green stop it. There are no women in the zone.

So I'm playing SHOC for the first time in about 4 years. Started playing with AMK 1.4 on master. after 200 Saves I finally reached X18. I was never so scared to play Stalker than now. I was sitting in my pitch black room with my headphones turned up. I jumped at every fucking sound. I never knew stalker could be this scary. When I encountered the pseudogiant, i literally screamed and shat my pants.

That shit never happens to me

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;41164099]That shit never happens to me[/QUOTE] Tbh that's only the second time it's happened to me in my 20 hour playthrough.

I just found this and now I can't stop laughing... [video=youtube;bpINIVdzkSs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpINIVdzkSs[/video] EDIT: and yeah, I thought that SSP was a plush toy...

Needs more dakka

Needs more farting being a GAU-8 and all.

Fellow stalkers! I'm unsure if I have the latest version of Doom's FreeLURK. Could somebody please hit me up with a link?

July 31st, guys! Grab a tub of ice cream and a quiverful of feel-good movies, because this summer is going to be MISERABLE! [editline]24th June 2013[/editline] Oh, and there's a video. [video=youtube;cA6VjqnJLGE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6VjqnJLGE[/video]

[QUOTE=Muukkis;41152252]Don't get stuck to fighting people in the open ; the soldiers are scattered throughout the base and can easily flank you. Either bolt straight to the main building and only kill those that you [I]have[/I] to, leaving the building via the ladder on the roof and exiting the base through a hole in the perimeter fence in the backyard of the main building or fortify inside a barracks building if your intention is to clear out everyone before moving on.[/QUOTE] I almost always hole up in one of the buildings by the underground exit and let them come to me. I did have one occasion though where I managed to sneak through the whole base somehow at night with the PB silenced pistol. Only fired two bullets, one for the commander, one for the alarm just in case. Slipped out with everyone none the wiser.

Holy shit that misery trailer was terrible, some flybys recorded with trial fraps, and overlayed text with windows movie maker. Seriously, aside from the end that whole video could have been just a feature list, and this could've been changed to a "scenery" trailer.

Show a ten minute slideshow of 'gritty' wall textures and they'll still eat it up.

it's too late to watch a [I]nine minute[/I] trailer right now, lordy lord. tomorrow!

Skip to 1:00 for actual footage. Also, [url]www.fraps.com[/url].

Sorry, guys. I lost it at "You can create your own stash". Oh and half of the text was too hard to read because of "white text on bright background" thing. As always Misery has truly miserable trailers.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;41172035]As always Misery has truly miserable trailers.[/QUOTE] It's a feature!

At least it wasn't as bad as RG-6 grenade launcher, zombie massacre, dubstep, wubwubwub - trailer.
