I hate the fact that all weapons are mirrored, and all the weapon animations have no weight to them. Is there a mod for CoC out there that improves the weapon models and animations?

>>15215218

Are you at least playing a murderboner faction like Monolith or Bandits?

>>15215221

No

>>15214919

Hello fellow Stalkers! are you excited about the brand new Battle Royale Survival Game, Fear the Wolves?

>>15215235

My problem is that I genocide my base as well and usually die doing that.

>>15215283

You could try picking a different spawn then, with no base or friendlies nearby, like outskirts. That way you'll have no choice but to haul ass and think of some self-imposed objective.

>>15215298

But I murder everyone there too.

>>15215234

No.

>>15215234

>Battle Royale

I don't give a fuck if the devs took inspiration from STALKER; they're pandering to one of the most cancerous video game fandoms and should be buried alive alongside with (You) in the day of vidya crash.

>>15215234

>the multiplayer jew strikes again

Go away

>>15215218

Play Azazael mode, this balances out your murder sprees between factions

Also, the /sg/ threads on /vg/ over at cuckchan are one of the best things about that shit ridden site. Highly recommended if you're needing help with mods and stuff. Just don't be surprised if a few dozen people tell you to "Kill yourself retard" before somebody helps you out. It's fairly normal.

>>15215435

>over at cuckchan

no

>>15215435

>>15215457

As much as I despise cuckchan, we'd have to admit that's true, at least in the past; there are some modders hanging around the /vg/ general (Remember FatalFunnel?) and they would gladly help other anons and even make small mods given enough demand from 4/v/irgins. That being said, it's still not a reason to go back to cuckchan and not convince people who make OC to come here instead.

So Stalker 2 in 2021. Have they said anything about the game?

>>15219418

Whoops, SGM (Sigerous Mod) not SMG.

>>15219353

They needed a publisher and Bethesda was the one who got the rights. They announced it at an interview a bit after E3.

>>15219353

Hopefully the multiplayer jew is kept at bay.

>>15215234

That entire game is just recycled assets from their first game, Survarium, down to the environment, weapons, character models and audio. Look up gameplay of Survarium and tell me that you could tell the difference between the two.

I'm so happy you fags got me into this game.

ok, i want to play some stalker

I don't care about story, i just want to explore the world and the danger within.

I want the biggest map and the most polished gameplay, some good mods to enhance everything and get the best perfomance out of it. Can anon give me a helping hand where to start?

bump

>>15226727

Call of Chernobyl is a good starting point. From there you'll want to likely get Arsenal Overhaul to help with your weapons.

In general, find out which mods are known for compatibility with one another and stick with those.

I personally am playing The Last Day with a fair amount of mods. It runs very smoothly, though every now and again it crashes. (Usually I can figure out what is specifically causing it, likely the HD model mod I have)

>>15228343

thanks

Are we still stuck with same mutants and anomalies we were stuck 2 years ago? I'd like to play stalker but it's too boring since you've seen basically all there is to see with all the mods that are using those pre-release monsters.

What's the flavor-of-the-month mod so far? There was Dead Air and some other one last I checked.

>>15230912

Dead Air's the main one, I think. It's essentially Call of Misery: Fuck You edition with no faction selection. I'm not even saying it's bad, though, just that so far as the level of oppression Misery tends to put on the player, I think Dead Air has further maximized on this.

ok, i will start with a vanilla game, SoC. No mods, blind.

This is the first time for me playing stalker.

>>15228343

>Call of Chernobyl

wait, thats something different, Shadow of chernobly is the first game and call of chernoby is a mod for pripyat? damn it,….

ok, i think this time i got it right, going in with CoC, first time blind, took some mods and hope not ending up dead in the first second.

>>15219402

That sounds pretty damn fun

>>15231989

I use a starting 12mm semi-auto shotgun in Last Day and see no reason to move away from it. It can use 12mm as well as 12 gauge and is effectively the only weapon I thus far need.

damn, shitting my pants, got everything up and running, -noprefetch and some nvidia settings, runs butter smooth on ultra high. Only thing turned of is real shadow, laggy as hell.

sart on a random base, old ship wreck, not leaving the ship, too many strange beings lurking out there, immidiley get attack by a splitter group. Just three randos, get shot by the guards running around on the ship. I'm shitting my pants, i do not want to leave the boat, just lurking the area with my binoculars. A lot of shit happening out there and sometimes it is way to calm, almost as if there is nobody out there. Decided to leave the boat immiditley ends with a dead animal in front of the exist. Turn around, scan the field, see three dogs hidding behind the bushes. Nope.

The fuck am i supose to do? Get killed?

Hey! New to STALKER? Or the mods?

HELPFUL TIP!

Nights can be a blessing and a bother. If you're awake during dusk, the night will seem almost like pitch black! NO WORRIES! Quicksave (F5 default) and reload your last save. Suddenly it'll be brighter at night!

>>15226727

Forget what >>15228343 said. We've been saying this on /sg/ for years: Play all the games in the release order so that you can build your preference more accurately. Each game has radically different approach in gameplay setting e.g. enemy spawns, map transition and object placements. You don't need to complete them, spend like 4 hours at max to see how each game compares. Also, in STALKER, just like many open world games, bigger map =! fun, as many activities in a map is centralised to few points and most other areas are empty swaths of land and buildings.

>>15231761

>>15231967

Good luck.

Don't make too much noise in combat and you'll be fine.

>>15219089

Never play Complete 2012, it's shit that makes the game piss-easy. Use ZRP if you're concerned about bugfixes.

Someone in a previous Stalker thread suggested Radiophobia as a vanilla experience so I tried it. I feel like I've been rused. If that was your intent, good job, you got me good. What the fuck is with this mod? It goes beyond the retarded strawberry jam smear gimmick all of those garbage AAA military shooters have, whenever you take damage, your camera jerks around in random directions like you've just had a fucking seizure, and when you're at low health the whole fucking screen goes red, the edges of the screen are an extremely opaque red, and the rest of the screen is a very dark red overlay onto everything that makes it almost impossible to see. And as if that wasn't bad enough, it also gives you blurred shifting double vision for being damaged and then the whole screen starts fading in and out and flashing pitch black or bright white. I've never seen an FPS take the retarded red tint gimmick to such a ridiculous extreme. The prices of med kits are also jacked up massively, close to 4k for a single basic medkit, so early game is absolute hell. If I get hit once it's basically game over, just reload the last save, because I don't have enough money to heal myself and it's practically impossible to play if I've taken any damage since the flashing lights and double vision make it impossible to see shit and give me a headache.

>>15236715

I fucking posted a few months ago about doppelganger mutants, I fucking did.

>>15236773

Is that actually a thing or is it just another bug?

>>15236829

The zone is a mysterious place. We'll never know for sure.

>>15233031

This

Complete a shit

>>15228987

I downloaded Dead Air and gave it a go. And got bored immediately after. There is nothing interesting. You've seen everything there is to see five years ago. Same mutants, same anomalies, same buildings, same building placements, same maps. Yeah, menu gimmick was cool, but it doesn't make the game any less boring.

How many decades are we going to have wait to get another game that feels like SHOC and that has something to explore?

>>15230951

>no faction selection.

I'm not that far off into the game but my icon changed into an ecologist one when I traded with them, bought ecologist armor and did a quest for them. So I imagine you "join" when you get 1000 relation and give them the lab documents. It feels like an achievement, as opposed to just picking factions.

>just that so far as the level of oppression Misery tends to put on the player, I think Dead Air has further maximized on this.

I find it pretty easy. Just go to the great swamps asap, hunt some mutants with an axe(so you get maximum parts) and farm anomalies. Mutants also can't into water so even bloodsuckers become easy. Butcher, inventor and geologists are the only perks you need.

Mosin-nagant has cheap shit 3. tier ammo so you'll drop pretty much everyone at the start with one shot. If not through direct damage, bleeding will get them fast. Same with mutants.

Then you get 7.62x51 and even exos don't stand a chance.

Kar98 is the same but with a high tier silencer.

>>15236715

It might have been a stalker who got zombified then died. Do zombies count as "mutants"?

>>15237499

>It feels like an achievement, as opposed to just picking factions.

This was something I liked from the main games, especially clear sky, joining a faction over the course of the game after proving your worth to them was more interesting than picking it at character creation. But both methods have their own upsides, being able to start off as a faction member is nice too, and leaves options that wouldn't be possible by joining them mid-game, like Monolith.

>>15237499

Interesting

>>15237853

The "mutant" was friendly and was basically chilling. It didn't attack me like a zombie would have.

>>15238855

There was. They were called sinners.

>>15238923

Wait, what?
