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

yes i finally beat clear sky fuck that shit, never touching it again without heavy modification. here i am running back and forth on the bridge trying to find strelok, only to get sniped, then i go online and see there's a glitch where he gets stuck UNDER the bridge. so sure enough i re-do the area, find the fucker under the bridge, take him out and then it's just an ending cutscene that does fuck all. now i can see why clear sky is regarded as the worst, if having to go through the absolutely batshit ridiculous amounts of grenade spam is all just for a quick cutscene like that, fuuuuuck that shit.

I've been liking Clear Sky so far. Also there is a mod that reduces grenade spam.

Reducing grenade spam is in the optional features along with a bunch of other stuff. THe main mod corrects ALOT of the bugs in Clear Sky. I suggest installing it since there are some game breaking bugs in Clear Sky.

Its the only game that you should try with a mod first like SRP....playing through it with all the stock bugs is torture. SRP is really just bug fixes anyway.

I completely forgot may is gonna be the first public test for Ray of Hope May 15th is on their ModDB, I hope that's still true because that's really close and STALKER MP would literally blow my mind. And hey it's after my semester ends so I won't be swamped with finals and papers and presentations, we should get some sort of group going for it

I was making a statement not asking a question.

i used that srp and it didn't do shit about the nade spam

[QUOTE=Pops;47651711]i used that srp and it didn't do shit about the nade spam[/QUOTE] The reducing grenade spam is an optional feature. You need to explicitly install it.

so i bought shadow of chernobyl, i don't know what im doing but i found a steam guide for a free suit now im running around stabbing weird mutant dogs and dying a lot but its fun so thats ok

Give it time, once your intense hatred passes you'll eventually want to drop by again, get a decent mod and I'm sure you'll love this bastard child almost as much as the others for different reasons

I actually had some good fun with Clear Sky, though I think the story was the worst out of the 3.

Is it safe to keep all of these radioactive rocks in my inventory cause I have like 7 of these things just sitting around

[QUOTE=Ammy;47657585]Is it safe to keep all of these radioactive rocks in my inventory cause I have like 7 of these things just sitting around[/QUOTE] Unless you put them on your belt they don't have any hazardous effect on you. Some mods may change that though, and might still apply radiation effects even when not on the belt (like in misery).

[QUOTE=Ammy;47657585]Is it safe to keep all of these radioactive rocks in my inventory cause I have like 7 of these things just sitting around[/QUOTE]Yup. Rub them on your balls for extra virility.

[QUOTE=Ammy;47657688]yeah I put the +600% health one on but took it off when I died, turns out mercenary suits aren't very resistant to radiation or the weird green puddles in the basements I accidentally walk into[/QUOTE] those weird green puddles are chemical anomalies ("Fruit Punch"), and cause nasty damage to your suit (and minor damage to you). you can get hold of suits that provide much better protection (and artifacts that do the same), but normally it's easier to just walk around them.

Make sure to always balance radioactivity with artifacts which provide a counter effect, like fireballs. Your suit alone will rarely be enough to absorb all the radiation. They make your endurance drain faster, but it is worth not dying slowly, plus you can counter that one aswell with flashes and moonlights (Which lower your resistance to electric anomalies, but you encounter those pretty rarely, and you still can unmount your arties if you have to face one).

I haven't explored much so I'm still using the merc suit from the beginning of the game but the blue bar is only down halfway

You should be able to find a better suit down there if you keep your eyes peeled. You'll also run into more anomalies in time - keep your eyes peeled for any distortions in the air and you won't go far wrong

bolts, rookie bolts

my eyes have gotten so used to seeing shit flying in the wind that i don't even need bolts anymore. well that and doing the area 10-15 times after dying.

I found an urchin so that I can put some radioactive rocks on but now it feels like every time I get shot I start bleeding [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] holy shit weapons are so loud when you walk over them on stairs why [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] a weird angry man screamed at me, I looked at them and they dragged me towards them then blew me away multiple times until my dead body did a backflip?

[QUOTE=Ammy;47657989] a weird angry man screamed at me, I looked at them and they dragged me towards them then blew me away multiple times until my dead body did a backflip?[/QUOTE] This is my new favorite description of a controller

i dealt with the weird man who was angry at me for no reason by turning the other cheek and running away like a little bitch i got out at the military base, had a really intense fight that involved sitting in a house making a pile of bodies, went into the base to get the documents, got them and ran away I went to the bar, turned in the documents, somehow got a stalker outfit to replace my merc suit (I think the barkeep gave it to me?) went to the arena, rekt some guy and now i'm back here

for the future, psychic old men are pretty easy to deal with by just grenade spamming their asses

[QUOTE=M.Ciaster;47659105]for the future, psychic old men are pretty easy to deal with by just grenade spamming their asses[/QUOTE] usually I just get rid of the grenades because I suck at using them but I guess I'll keep some on me for any future encounters with the screamy men [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] also if anyone wondered im playing with the restoration mod thing on stalker difficulty because i'm a scrub

I remember my first encounter with a controller. When it did the mind pull thing I thought it was a little mini cutscene like, "Hey check out this new enemy/boss." Then I thought my game was glitching out when it kept doing it.

Fuck seeing people new to stalker describing their experiences is the best thing ever

i'm gonna be stuck on a laptop all day, I hope it runs well or else it's a day of boredom and 20fps payday 2 [editline]5th May 2015[/editline] What's up with all the empty boxes, is it just random what spawns in them [editline]5th May 2015[/editline] noooo I forgot the saves were in a file away from the actual game before I copied it to my laptop :suicide:
