S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: "A Typical Day In The Zone" - Games

[QUOTE=DeathFP;49153809]Well looks like Arsenal Overhaul 3 for CoC has been officially [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/arsenal-overhaul/downloads/call-of-chernobyl-1224-addon"]released[/URL]. Nice![/QUOTE] Sweet! Enemies don't drop spare ammo which is a little annoying for now. Hope that gets fixed at some point.

Any news?

STALKER news has been pretty dead lately. As usual, all the big mods are still just in the works...

Apart from the videos for Gunslinger and the occasional updates on Wormwood, RoH, and Frozen Zone, there really isn't much else going on. [editline]23rd November 2015[/editline] I do have a question though. Did Survarium ever get the free play open world mode they talked about or is it still purely pvp?

survarium is still just pvp

I posted this on the STALKER reddit - figured Iw ould post here as well. ESCAPE FROM TARKOV See here: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a70_QmnjhCU[/url] and here: [url]http://www.escapefromtarkov.com/[/url] Just announced! Beta early 2016. Watching the video is gets me amped up, as for me at least it has some serious STALKER\Metro influence! Has MMO, RPG elements, and the gunplay looks amazing. Thoughts, fellow STALKERS?

I've played their current game for 4 years straight; They don't listen to the community, are money hungry and they've got 2 other titles which seem to be dropping in popularity as we speak. These are "Contract Wars" and "Russia 2028", of which the latter is probably secretly canceled and the first they're trying to desperately safe with constant GP discounts for 'rentable' skills. 30 pen is a rent, which increases the amount of armor deflection takes place. Most guns have 25 BASE pen, let alone you're able to get +7 from a skilltree and +7 from a clan. That makes +44 pen if you rent. GG fair game mechanics :p (I've been a renter, it's easymode) Early this year they lost loads of employees and it's just a team of a few trying to gain as much $$$ as possible for whatever reason.

I'll admit I've never heard of these people, but the reveal trailer looked amazing, so I was getting excited.

They can still save it. I'm just REALLY pessimistic. Look up "Contract Wars" on youtube. The plethora of hacking videos will make you think twice.

Damn it, WHY can't someone make a story-driven, single player game with these types of graphics and setting? I mean come on! \rant

Gotta love F2P games [video=youtube;d9NP6RmayBc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NP6RmayBc[/video]

Trying out CoC after years worth of STALKER hiatus. Started as an Ecologist. Hello, hello.

What's the name of that one CoP mod that an FP'er made? Made the game ridiculously hard

that would be me, [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-wormwood]Redux/Wormwood[/url]

[QUOTE=Beacon;49180103]that would be me, [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-wormwood]Redux/Wormwood[/url][/QUOTE] Ah yes, thanks!

I love the look of combat in Escape from Tarkov but I wasn't expecting anything from it since it's just an MMO. Plus having shitty devs makes it par for the course. The situation eerily reminds me of Survarium. Man why can't we have gun gameplay of this level with a singleplayer STALKER game? I would be playing that for years. Even the pulling out the mag to check your current ammo seemed really neat.

It's actually a really basic feature you'd think you'd see more often for survival games like these. Surprised Metro or STALKER didn't have them from the get go.

I've actually played a fair share of Survarium. It's pretty average as an FPS but can have fun moments. Maybe that's because I have my darling RK-62 to play with, but the higher you go in level, the less money means to you. P2W only works in lower levels, really.

I have never played STALKER and I figure it's about time I start Which STALKER game should I start with?

Shadow of Chernobyl, only graphical mods if any.

+1 Also ZRP, I didn't use it for my first playthrough but it doesn't alter the gameplay experience from vanilla and just fixes a lot of issues. And make sure you play on Master difficulty, the game is balanced around it.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;49199404]I have never played STALKER and I figure it's about time I start Which STALKER game should I start with?[/QUOTE] i hope this sort of thing is in the op by now.

next op will fix it as always :quotes:

Speaking of Wormwood. I present to you my greatest work yet for it. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PIK9aKH.png[/t] See Ivan? when hold body in proper position, no bullet will hit you for enemy of fear of you

[QUOTE=doommarine23;49203744]Speaking of Wormwood. I present to you my greatest work yet for it. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PIK9aKH.png[/t] See Ivan? when hold body in proper position, no bullet will hit you for enemy of fear of you[/QUOTE] i see why you're having problems now

[QUOTE=Beacon;49203902]i see why you're having problems now[/QUOTE] It is a lot less broken than that, I promise. I'm just trying to figure out whats causing the rigging issues. But honestly I am probably just going to manually re-rig parts of the body and be done with it, simplest solution is the best solution [t]http://i.imgur.com/uFwkArI.png[/t] You see Ivan, when hold hand in proper way, gun accuracy very accurate

he has become the anomaly
