What does bloodsucker pussy taste like anons?

I highly recommend Anomaly with its current beta mod. Played for several dozen hours without any issue and its 64 bit. Much more stable then anything I've tried. Some say Dead Air is better but I couldn't get the lighting to look right.

>>16447143

Dark Valley in SoC was great, because it's the first truly open area you get to after Cordon that you can just walk around and explore in. Garbage is basically just wide corridors disguised as open area, and Agroprom is basically just empty with nothing to do on the surface. It felt the most "Zone-like" to me, at least.

>>16447290

You probably got almost sniped by a zombie or a monolith faggot since those are always around

>tfw enjoy being on limited resources and taking insane risks just to earn enough for the next meal

>tfw everything is too easy and lets me become wealthy in no time

I tried Misery and liked it a lot, but it gets really simple once you know what you're doing. I want a real stalkan' experience where I run around in a trenchcoat with a shitty makarov and delve into anomalies in the hopes I'll get enough for an artifact to buy myself some vodka and sausage and maybe one day a better shooter, damn it.

>>16447400

Problem is you're meant to become wealthy the more you play, the stalkan experience is the hobo phase early game where you are forced to run around with a knife and a shawnoff.

>>16447400

That problem is entirely of your own doing. Stop savescumming like a nigger and do an ironman challenge on your preferred mod with a milsim damage profile. Guarantee you'll start to respect your loot when you're always potentially one second away from losing it all. The longer you go, the more cautious you get and the more realistically you approach each situation you encounter as the stakes get higher and higher.

>>16447415

Issue with most economies in games is that besides buying new and better loot there is nothing else to spend money on. Food and other utilities are usually sold for pennies, and the amount of stuff the player can carry around means they can just keep collecting junk and selling it.

>>16447438

Because in singleplayer games, the player is meant to reach the end, thus kiked MMO-tier money sinks will always feel entirely arbitrary and out of place (one of the many critical failings of memery) when the in-game economy is operating entirely independent of the player who is the only one playing by those rules. If death can always be reverted with a save, the only thing you can do to pad out playtime is forced grinding, slavmod meme difficulty, or both.

>>16447339

I just wanna spend the rest of my days drinking vodka, squatting in a track suit and playing CS:GO and STALKER for the rest of my days. Is that really such a bad life to live

>>16448345

Can confirm it, it adds a bunch of stuff but some of the /k/ autism isn't explained, like how you need to drag the swiss knife into handguns to dissasemble them since the smgs/rifles/shotgun dissasembling is one mod and the handgun one is another.

>>16447438

not nearly as big an issue as money being so easy to make. It doesn't matter how much things cost if you can make bank in under an hour. A well designed economy has money always be important – hearing someone go "do X and I'll pay you" should be a genuine motivator. Very few games manage to get this right. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. money should be especially important since it's what most stalkers actually go in the zone for, yet money often becomes irrelevant after the first few gunfights.

I might skip my yearly playthrough of some soup flavour this fall if that kebab manages to finish his gun addon for memery

>>16448681

You should give Anomaly mod a try then. Everything economy wise can be tweaked to your liking in the ingame options menu, from general sell prices to repair costs to mission rewards, and you can even lower the stalker population in the entire zone so that guns and ammo become harder to get by.

>>16447400

joint pak 2 makes misery look like kiddie shit in the early game

>tfw you have to go artifact hunting because traders only trade artifacts for health and ammo

>tfw have to give away a precious artifact you nearly died to get just for a half decent gun that wont break in 5 shots

>>16449878

There aren't any up to date infographics as far as I know. The ones you normally see posted haven't been relevant for years. Which game do you want as your base?

>>16448771

Like I said, I'm way out of touch. Whichever game offers the most variety I suppose but I'm looking for a well balance and realistic "open world" sort of deal as cancerous as that sounds. I just want a survival world I can get lost (and frequently killed) in. And a map large enough so that I don't have become used to most sections.

I need you to bring me x15 pseudogiant penises

hey what's the stalker 2 release date

>>16450377

Son of a bitch

>>16450508

Why can't girls be stalkers again?

>>16450522

No meaningful physical strength, lower intelligence, different fight or flight response, general lack of combat experience, the fact that they bear the fucking children…

So Anomaly is the go to stalker mod now a days?

>>16453806

I've played around an hour and a half and so far it's my second favorite mod behind Autumn Aurora. There is random encounters with NPCs who might attack you if you answer questions in a way they don't like. That alone is fucking amazing in my opinion.

>>16453806

Haven't tried others but anomaly really does a lot of things right, on top of giving you a bunch of options to customize your play, right now I have max mutant and stalker spawns and the map is always covered in monofags sniping shit left and right, while it's not ideal from "the deserted zone of death" it certainly makes things interesting.

>>16454316

Does anomaly have the best visuals? Does it look better than modded CoC? Atmosphere is way too important for me

>>16454524

It does lets you screw around with weather options so you've got a few options there, it also nerfs NV and you can't see shit when it's dark, so thats a plus for me

Is there an existing version of misery that doesn't freeze every 30 seconds?

>>16454581

whenever there's a small number of women theyre always giving stronk personalities where theyre better than a bunch of the men, just like metro, and they are cringe. no way a female main character will be given

also men literally would fair much better in the zone. just like how they could handle exploring unknown deadly environments better, like they did hundreds of years ago irl

you must be a roastie

>>16454614

> will be given

< will be given negative personality traits

>>16454581

Look, I'm all for female stalkers but whenever theres a game where female npcs are glorified to hell and back, like metro in which artyoms gf has twice the balls than artyom himself for some reason, then everyone whos not the main fanbase will bitch about it causing drama and making everyone who likes stalker collectively kill themselves

Why are there no women in the zone?

>>16454316

What's the best way to get rid of shit gear I loot? Or do I just chuck it? It seems like nobody buys garbage.

Despite all the cut corners in construction and design, and despite the staff fucking up several safety protocols because lol late shift, nothing would have happened had this cunt not been so criminally retarded and simply cancelled the experiment after both his subordinates and the plant's automated system told him shit was getting really dangerous. Chernobyl was Murphy's law made manifest and a proof that no matter how high ranked or educated a person is, there is still a very real possibility of him being a complete fucking retard.

>>16454602

The guy who dropped off those images a ways back, if I knew how to get rid of watermarks and identifying info, I'd have gladly already tossed it into here for you guys to check out. Lot of cool things, especially the monsters page that I wouldn't mind throwing in here later at some point

Speaking of Roadside Picnic, any mods that go towards that direction that are decent? I've been trying to get a tabletop game of it set up but I'd be fine playing around with a more deadly zone

>>16454920

>>16454950

Try using the spot healing brush tool in Photoshop

>>16455320

I've seen an interview with him and he hit me as the kind of guy that's got his head up his arse. He was probably just too arrogant to admit a failing, even if his superiors wouldn't have cared either way (it was a fairly irrelevant experiment; nothing of high importance to anyone but this cunt's ego).

>>16455355

I don't have Photoshop, and it might take a bit to do all the pages, but I'll see if I can't download a pirate copy and at least show off the monster pages for you guys

Is there a guide on how to repair things in Anomaly?

Poor bastards, almost made it. Their pal stopped at the table to down a shot of vodka to remember them, I assume, before heading back out.

Then again, they were bandits. Who cares. Shame their shit exploded along with them; could've gotten some loot.

There was a party inspection that day or that week IIRC.

This is what happens when touchy-feely leftists with guns get in power, your brain is pushed into "can't do wrong think" to the point everyone starts behaving irrationally by fear to hurt the feelings of someone higher in the food chain.

The same exact shit happened on a soviet cosmodrome, something went wrong, every safety and alarms DID engage and some half insane cunt in charge said "well, let's proceed anyway", creating a chain reaction that basically wiped-out half the cosmodrome.

>>16456172

The zone is an angry, jealous woman and it's said she has some odd ways of showing her anger towards those objects of her jealousy. I think it s also mentioned that a few actually do exist, but since they are surrounded by murderous slavs, they usually keep it to themselves

>>16455576

>>16455355

Give me another night or two, definitely not tonigjt though, I'll try to upload the monsters then post the table of contents and see if you guys want other sections after I'm done. If I can find a Photoshop copy I'll try to start working on doing the whole pdf

>>16455959

Fuck off. I'm against the Idea of women in the zone but only because of modern politics. I would honestly like to see them if not just for the extra flavor of what they introduce to the series

>entire faction/percentage of females in the zone who are so desperate they are willing to become sterile just to make a name of themselves.

>they're on ultra PMS at all times because they're criminals just like most of the rest of the zone

>They're actually the most ruthless of most of the factions despite the lacking in most combat procedures so they make more impulsive decisions that actually occasionally work out

Obviously there's a lot of framework I'm missing but I don't see anything innately wrong with the idea. As long as they don't make it seem like feminist propaganda I'm fine with it.

>>16456753

Play anamoly. There is female stalkers but it isn't made a big deal out of.

>>16447282

Pretty good

>>16456763

>having women in hostile, lawless wasteland isn't a big deal

>they wouldn't be grabbed by the first group of bandits they encounter and turned into cumdumps for hire

Anomaly is made by Western cucks, isn't it?

I delved into the unholiest of places on the internet and contacted the guy who overhauled the Stalker RPG to version 2.4 since none of the download links in archived threads work anymore and asked him to fix me up a new download link.

Here it is you guys: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ue5bgfbxufniqn1/stalker%20rpg%20V2.4.pdf?dl=0

So who has the best music in CoC and why is it bandits?

>>16457608

Best music is Clear Sky Radio. But its only in Clear Sky.

>>16457637

Actually a decent portion of clear sky's songs are quite solid, I have to confess.

I fondly recall shooting up Clear Sky's main base on a military run to this song, was quite great when you're fighting multiple people with the chorus blasting in the background

>>16457608

Women in the zone would just be random researchers. If they aren't in an ecologist base or bunker 90% of the time they would just get turned into slaves.

>>16456753

nigger, that's just muh stronk womym shit straight outta TV. If you want a realistic depiction of women in the zone, it would look akin to the first Gothic – the only women there being concubines of the top dog. Women cannot be a thing in the Zone because, as other anons have already pointed out, they'd be immediately turned into cumdumps by bandits, mercs, and probably a fair chunk of loners/duty/freedom. Because why the fuck would they not?

Also, you don't enter the Zone to make a fucking name for yourself, that's retarded on so many levels. You go there to get rich, acquire artifacts for personal use should you need them, escape the law, or try your luck with the wish granter, but you definitely do not go there for fame points.

>>16457253

Eat dick, When I say ruthless I don't mean best. Just that they're more likely to think with their emotions and do reckless shit that occasionally works out.

>>16458176

>Because why the fuck would they not?

Because unlike Gothic, guns are a thing in the zone.

>Also, you don't enter the Zone to make a fucking name for yourself,

Fair enough, Desperation is desperation after all.

>>16458543

Anon, you're a fuckwit and your idea is shit. Plenty of people have already pointed out what would happen to women in a lawless area with such great gender imbalance.

>Just that they're more likely to think with their emotions and do reckless shit that occasionally works out.

So they're destined to die?

>Because unlike Gothic, guns are a thing in the zone.

Oh, wait, you're one of those fuckwits that thinks guns magically make women equal to men in a fight. Guess what cretin? They're not going to have the luxury of sitting around all day and taking potshots at people.

If they want to survive in the Zone they'll need to make trips into the wild to hunt for artifacts to sell, and that's where stamina and muscle mass comes into play.

>Fair enough, Desperation is desperation after all.

Unless a mob has put a hint on them they're far more likely to become prostitutes than venture into the fucking Zone. That's like deciding to go to Somalia just because you don't have money.

Now, granted, some women could be desperate enough to disappear into the Zone, but they'd end up being prostitutes there (or worse).

>>16458579

Jesus faggot quit being a waste of oxygen and quit assuming shit.

>So they're destined to die?

It's the Zone people die all the time. The fuck is this destiny shit?

>If they want to survive in the Zone they'll need to make trips into the wild to hunt for artifacts to sell, and that's where stamina and muscle mass comes into play.

And? What, artifacts weigh a ton? I'm not arguing there's a handicap. But even so it's not outside the realm of possibility. It's not like you would see females to far North of the map in CoC. Clearly women are incapable of carrying any type of gun and aren't able to walk a few kilometers.

>Unless a mob has put a hit on them they're far more likely to become prostitutes than venture into the fucking Zone

Who's saying that's not usually the case?

>fuck on the side while aquiring artifacts as pay

>when the well runs dry move out to the zone and try and scavenge for some on your own

>That's like deciding to go to Somalia just because you don't have money

Who the fuck goes to Somalia for treasure hunting? Shitty comparison. A good chunk of the attraction to the zone is the mystery and wealth you make. And the majority of the Zone's residents aren't from across the world. Just the buyers.

You're taking my points as if I figure there's going to be some great amazonian empire of stronk women. I would see females in the zone to make more impulsive decisions which would actually work out occasionally. And on top of that they probably wouldn't have any concept of honor or deep planning. I picture them doing shit like raiding a small settlement while the residents were asleep or refusing to drop weapons and just going out in a fit of anger before getting full of holes in center mass Instead of actually thinking about the situation.

>men, the physically superior sex

cringe

>>16458655

>what do you think will happen to women?

Same thing that happen to men? I'm not getting this line of questioning. People die in the Zone all the time. Women aren't an exception.

>Pic related you absolute fucking embarrassment

>comparing the Zone to real life military funded soldiers

Jesus fuck again with the shit tier comparisons? This is a game here you fucking moron. Nobody in said game is wearing any of that shit and the whole concept of stalker is a stones throw away to completely unrealistic gorilla warfare anyway. Jesus fuck you're retarded.

>Clearly the vast majority of people there have motivations outside having nowhere else to go.

And women are incapable of motivation now?

Jesus fuck get an argument.

>It's another shithole with lax (or nonexistent) law enforcement.

And no actual draw to actually go there. It's not about what's safer it's about what has more draw.

> You do realize that "working out occasionally" means "don't work out most of the time"

>implying half of the plans made out in the Zone to begin with don't usually end in complete failure

The zone is borderline chaos half the time. Shit the military got their teeth kicked in by the end of CoC. You're making it sound like women are any different.

>Yeah, clearly they're going to do just fine in the Zone.

Nobody does "fine" in the zone you fucking moron. Save happy merchants.

>No way will they get themselves killed or captured the first time they go Leeroy Jenkins on someone.

That's my fucking point moronicus. The bandits in the zone are fucking retarded and barely capable to dying from anomaly's let alone other inhabitants who're probably drunk half the time anyway. You act like the Zone is full of the smartest most elite and capable soldiers. When in reality that's rarely the case outside of the strongest factions.

>You know they'd be dead within a week

Literally my entire point shit for brains. Death is common in the zone. Why the fuck are you assuming I'm thinking the majority of women are any different? I can picture a small hand full of female NPC characters in a much smaller relation to male NPC's that actually persevere for more than a week because they actually think. But I still won't discount the possibility.

>yet you keep pretending that women would keep flooding into the Zone in numbers big enough to be a noticeable presence.

Want to point to the single fucking moment where I stated such a fucking idea? My initial post mentioned a faction but it's not like I'm stating it would last. Jesus fuck learn to stop being a shit for brains illiterate before you just assume you know what the fuck I'm trying to convey.

>>16458673

Has nothing to do with them being incapable of existing in the zone. Just them usually dying more easily.

>>16458671

Is it reddit or is it /leftypol/? Does it matter?

>>>/suicide/

>>16458800

>My initial post mentioned a faction but it's not like I'm stating it would last

For something to form into a faction it would need to have lasted long enough to do so. Women would last 3 days before they turned into a prostitute to survive.

>>16458867

The lack of basic comforts, lawlessness, and brutally low life expectancy aside, the sterilization women are subjected to is minor next to the fact that the zone is alive and preys on your psyche and fucks with your mental state. Women would go insane and mutate into insane monstrousities before they are enslaved into prostitutes or get into a firefight.

あぬちきぶれきー

>>16458900

I don't thinks so. Bandits are the most likely candidates to take them in as cock-sleeves, and they are mostly found in the outer parts of the zone, where the anomalies and mutants aren't as bad. Most Loners have probably been robbed once but bandits mostly rob from road-blocks and don't kill outright. Now, if you are a woman and ran into bandits you either become a slave no ifs or buts since every man in the zone is probably craving more than just fermented juice. Unless you get into a firefight where they most likely die.

>>16458867

>Yes. Theres a reason men a driving force of humanity and not both sexes

And the zone isn't entirely about motivation for higher causes and women are capable of motivation for causes beyond having offspring.

>1)end up in a situation in life that forces them there, 2) willfully enter the zone for any reason, 3) survive for more than 2 miliseconds.

It's entirely possible that a female could survive in the zone for more than a few weeks. It's just improbable. I'm still willing to think however that women would be intelligent enough to in certain cases to survive in the zone in minor numbers. If you don't want to accept that then don't. I just see it as extra flavor instead of this viewpoint you seem to think I putting out.

And slavery isn't common in the zone and as far as I can tell it doesn't exist. I'm just figuring that a women who is partially decent with a gun is probably just as capable as any miscreant in the zone. A female against military military convoy? No. A female against a rogue bandit(s) who is fucking around with the element of surprise? Much more likely. If I had the ability to mod the game and add NPC's I would probably put 4 or 5 women with some combat experience, make 3 or 4 of them low level stragglers you would find towards the start of the game and maybe one or two of them as a low to mid ranking stalker who has a cheese yet effective tactic like rigging traps or with enough patients to pull more tactical maneuvers off. If that concept is irrevocably impossible to you because of less muscle mass or some shit then oh well. Mental limitations I take with more of a grain of salt.

>>16458871

>For something to form into a faction it would need to have lasted long enough to do so

Says who? The zone isn't something you can enter one at a time in.

>>16458919

>and women are capable of motivation for causes beyond having offspring.

None of them would be grand enough to justify entering hell on earth.

> I'm still willing to think however that women would be intelligent enough to in certain cases to survive in the zone in minor numbers.

No they wouldn't. As I said women die faster than replacement rates. And if somehow lightning struck twice and a group of women did congregate then they would be massive targets since woman have always been a one of the most sought after good in this world.

>And slavery isn't common in the zone and as far as I can tell it doesn't exist.

Because nothing justifies it. There is no manual labor to be had. There isn't enough food to go around. And you are actually wrong. People constantly get held hostage. Now a woman actually has a reason to be kept around as a slave, but since their low number and massive mortality rates you MIGHT see a slave-girl once in a while but that would rare as seeing Freedom not being faggots.

If there are any women in the zone I 100% think they will solely be working for one of the merchants or just some administration shit. None of them would actually be Stalkers.

>>16458919

>Says who?

basic reasoning and/or knowledge of the concept of ontological inertia

a village cannot be formed instantly, you need people building it. similarly, a faction does not simply start existing, it needs to be created, which is a process that takes time.

>The zone isn't something you can enter one at a time in.

Are you proposing a group of women enters as a faction before they enter the zone? Because that doesn't change the fact that a group would need to have been around long enough to form that faction in order to enter the zone as a faction.

>I'm just figuring that a women who is partially decent with a gun is probably just as capable as any miscreant in the zone

Well, you're wrong. There's countless examples both anecdotal and scientifically tested of how women cannot actually handle high stress situations, but I don't think providing either would change your mind since you genuinely seem to lack reason.

>>16458953

>None of them would be grand enough to justify entering hell on earth.

The majority of the dwellers in the zone aren't exactly eilite. Dunno why you think the zone is only capable of having such beings.

>woman have always been a one of the most sought after good in this world.

In the zone artifacts probably take more precedents than women. Especially since said women probably would be as attractive as most of the men in the zone.

>People constantly get held hostage

hostage=/= slavery

>but since their low number and massive mortality rates you MIGHT see a slave-girl once in a while

I think you're just making shit up from your own sub consious. Realistically think for a moment what use a women would have in the zone as a slave. Shit in Gothic they were only attractive because they were delivered because of they were attractive.

>I 100% think they will solely be working for one of the merchants or just some administration shit. None of them would actually be Stalkers.

Like I said, it's STALKER. With mutants with psychic abilties and wish making rocks. I really don't think a few women is outlandish in the universe.

>>16458958

>a village cannot be formed instantly, you need people building it.

Almost like the zone is full of abandoned, pre-built settlements. The actual occupation would take a few days and to actually settle would be a week assuming they weren't spotted by a large faction.

>Because that doesn't change the fact that a group would need to have been around long enough to form that faction in order to enter the zone as a faction.

And women can't create a faction outside of the zone in any capacity? I'm not stating it's an extreme possibility. But it's a fun idea all the same. Not something I would implement in a hard core mod. But nothing I'm against having fun with either.

>There's countless examples both anecdotal and scientifically tested of how women cannot actually handle high stress situations

What about examples correlating to situations in the Zone? Again mush brain, this is fiction we're talking about. STALKER isn't the modern day middle east. I think there's a bit of fun that can be had with the idea. If you don't then why the fuck are you bothering to reply?

>>16458997

>Almost like the zone is full of abandoned, pre-built settlements.

I hadn't meant specifically villages within the zone, and was using villages as an example, but thanks for confirming that you lack the capacity for reason. The 'muh fiction' defense is pretty emblematic of people like that.

>>16456753

Good God, lad. You're so fucking brainwashed, I worry about you.

Will stalker 2 be at E3?

>>16459070

>Bandits who are on vodka half the time probably aren't more capable than a female in probably scenarios.

Heres the problem. You are giving women credit. Credit they they have never shown to be deserving of. I'm tired of your retardation.

>>16459076

You've read a few articles and are assuming outliers are impossible because of some unseen force that will magically vanquish every possibility of something occurring. Not my fault you can only conflate "impossible" with "unlikely".

>>16459081

>Credit they they have never shown to be deserving of

Credit based on them being a little under half the worlds population and simple numbers would enforce that a few would involve themselves in a situation. If you don't want to understand the concept of plausibility and instead want to opt for sheer impossibility despite there being absolutely no real barrier for this to occur then be my guest. You're the one replying to what would likely incorporate .001% of the actual game if it were implemented. Also don't women overtake men in the Ukraine by a larger margin than usual?

>>16459119

>half the worlds population

And you can count the number of instance they have been on the battlefield all through-out history on your fingers.

>>16459079

never ever.

>>16459119

>Credit based on them being a little under half the worlds population and simple numbers would enforce that a few would involve themselves in a situation.

By that same train of non-logic, due to their sheer number there would be one woman somewhere anywhere near capable of power lifting as much as a man. Yet, the woman's back lift record is lower than my squat and nearly a tenth of the men's back lift record. Why do you think that is?

>>16459119

>Not my fault you can only conflate "impossible" with "unlikely".

Unlikely to the point it is impossible. Women don't go to the Zone for the same reason you don't see women in coal mines or why no woman has ever completed Ranger training without relaxing the requirements.

>and simple numbers would enforce that a few would involve themselves in a situation

And as has been repeatedly explained to you they'd be dead, enslaved or left the Zone within a month.

>the concept of plausibility

Seems to me you're the one that doesn't understand plausibility.

I swear to God, you male feminists should be gassed to safeguard the genepool from your retardation. How do you look in the mirror without killing yourself? Being such a bottom feeder and ally to women has to take a tool on the psyche.

>>16459196

>That's not even on the same venue of logic here

Yes, it is. Women are both physically weaker and less capable in combat situations by every single metric. The idea that a highly-trained woman is even close to the level of an average man is fucking laughable.

>>16459203

>Women are both physically weaker and less capable in combat situations by every single metric

And being weaker is not a stand still argument for them being incapable of entering the zone. Aiming and firing a rifle is not a muscle mass related concept outside of raising the rifle and recoil stress. If you've read anything I've posted I've never argued they were more capable. Just that they would survive for a bit in early areas of the game in minor numbers.

>>16459218

>Aiming and firing a rifle is not a muscle mass related concept outside of raising the rifle and recoil stress

This is technically correct, but deliberately misleading. Aiming accurately in a combat situation requires a greater degree of both mechanical skill and decision making abilities that women do not possess for the same reason they do not possess more muscle mass: They are not men. Women are, in fact, capable of entering and performing fairly well at sharpshooting competitions. Sharpshooting isn't combat. Sharpshooting isn't walking for hours while carrying heavy equipment like guns and food. Sharpshooting isn't sprinting to cover. Sharpshooting isn't being able to act alone and make snap decisions about cover.

>>16459218

a women would never enter the zone. the way they think wouldn't let them. only the lowest treasure seeking scum goes into the zone. they would rape a girl to death in a heartbeat. maybe 1 out of 10 thousand girls enter the zone. all die very fast

girls never sink as low as men do. criminal scum is what stalkers are, women extremely rarely act like that

there no argument you would accept, all girls who enter the zone die

like fucking read the book you fucking lefty faggot. a girl would NEVER go through all the trouble of getting into the zone in the first place, such an idea is laughable

>>16459237

>Aiming accurately in a combat situation requires a greater degree of both mechanical skill and decision making abilities that women do not possess for the same reason they do not possess more muscle mass

They don't possess it to the same degree. But it's like I said, it's not something outside of the realm of possibility. It's just much less capable. But on the same hand this is cheeki breeki land. I'm willing to believe most of the stragglers are barely capable of remaining sober half the time.

>>16459238

>a women would never enter the zone

Technically nobody should enter the zone. Doesn't stop the treasure hunters though.

>maybe 1 out of 10 thousand girls enter the zone

Well Ukrain has more men than women so it's a possibility.

>girls never sink as low as men do.

Jesus fuck have you ever met a women? I mean this is /v/ but still. You think they fart tulips or something?

>all girls who enter the zone die

It's the zone. Death is a common occurrence. You think I'm assuming a female who enters the zone's going to make the top ten STALKER list?

>>16459242

Your faggy redundant double post is laughable kid.

ALways try to have a multitool and some swiss knives/grooming kits on hand. You can disassemble junked gear/weapons for parts that can either be sold or or used in crafting/equipment maintenance. Using the loot you find for this is much more cost efficient than just buying a new item or repairing high-end gear, and if you end up with extra stuff you don't need you can sell it for pocket change. Or you could just adjust the economy values so that buying something won't wipe out your wallet.

Also if you find a good set of gear just above 30% durability, hang on to it. Early on I found a dead Clear Sky stalker with a Pathfinder Suit and I used sewing kits to get it's durability up. It served me well until I could get my hands on an exo and actually maintain it.

>>16454524

0693 easily has the best visuals, but the system requirements are rough. Modded CoC definitely gives you the most bang for buck visually, though I suspect most of that is coming from the fact that there's comparatively very little going on under the hood.

>>16460269

Barely is still enough to mean they would exist in this scenario. Add that to the fact that women outnumber men in the country. So yea, still plausible.

Off-topic it's not an issue because they can't handle it, it's an issue because they don't gravitate towards the job in the first place. Interestingly enough there's a current argument going around that welding can be more common for women since the actual technique requires precision and consistency. Almost like sewing. Having done both, one on a singer the other on stick I can see the relation.

This is the year I will finally play Clear Sky. I am not being of certain why I only play the SoC all these years.

>>16461241

Top portion of the post is still on topic to the discussion of the game so I don't know why you think the ban is justified.

>>16453806

Anomaly is fantastic. Good graphics, gameplay changes are hard but fun instead of just being grindy and frustrating, and just about everything is customizable by an in-game menu.

>>16454671

IIRC there's a trader in the northern part of Garbage, right before the Duty checkpoint that will buy low quality weapons. Usually it's easier to just dismantle them for parts which you can use for repairs or sell to a gunsmith/trader. The ecologists will buy armor upgrades for good prices.

Sure, why not? Either we end up with a good game, and we win, or we get a shit game that we don't have to buy or play, and nothing changes.

>>16466650

Because if we get a shit games and normalfags like it that will shape the modding scene for years to come. Think anon.

>>16466977

You say that like normalniggers would omehow be able to stop all of the autistic slavmodders from creating the content that they've always been creating.

>>16467077

Normalfags havent ruined stalker because older games barely had any covers and were bug riddled messes, if a stalker would come out now everyone would play it since it had the whole open world meme and survival thing going. It would take jews no effort to ruin it, iirc wasn't commiefornians who brought it back from dev hell?

No they'll just adapt to what normalfags want or cloud out the actually decent modders. It happened with Elder Scrolls.

>>16467234

>Normalfags havent ruined stalker because

Normalfags haven't ruined any singleplayer game. Only developers and publishers can ruin those.

>and were bug riddled messes

Has that ever stopped bethesda from being outrageously successful?

>if a stalker would come out now everyone would play it since it had the whole open world meme and survival thing going

Hasn't helped the hundreds of shovelware-tier titles on steam that are chasing that market. If they made a great game, you'd have a lot of people playing it. If they shit the bed, it'd be quickly forgotten just like every other shitty game.

>>16467847

>they'll just adapt to what normalfags want

Ah, yes. The slavmodders who script DRM into their mods in an attempt to force the enduser to play exactly how they want them to play. Surely they would do a hard 180 after going out of their way to chase off normalfags for several years.

>or cloud out the actually decent modders

How exactly do you see that happening? Also, what do you mean by "cloud out"? Do you see modding as a zero sum game?

>It happened with Elder Scrolls.

Where? When? Give me specific examples.

>>16468222

>Only developers and publishers can ruin those

Who do you think molds the normalfags into liking this garbage?

>Has that ever stopped bethesda from being outrageously successful?

No it just compounds the issue.

>Hasn't helped the hundreds of shovelware-tier titles on steam that are chasing that market

None of said titles have the title of STALKER. Nobody knew about the Elder Scrolls series until Oblivion. Morrowind maybe. There's a cult behind Stalker though, if they smell a sequel they'll shill it and there's a good chance it would become big unless it's absolute trash.

>If they made a great game, you'd have a lot of people playing it

Say the game is good, then normalfag will latch on to it and any semblance of a decent community will be ruined, just like Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, ect. If the game is bad then it's a wasted effort and any chance of a decent sequel is DOA after that. On top of that, Skyrim is a shit game and everybody plays it. So much so that people are making their own clones as you said. If this occurs on the AAA level why the fuck do you think it won't on an independent one? What, just because people are free to make something good they won't? Even if there's some who still make a solid mod for the game it's going to be drowned out in trash.

>Surely they would do a hard 180 after going out of their way to chase off normalfags for several years.

They would likely just stop doing it. Once your favorite games community goes tits up your realizing you're making something for the most shit tier human beings possible. The only alternative would be to make a mod for a private forums/site you browse for like minded people. But even then that has it's own pitfalls by alienating what's generally a good mod to what a good mod is to a select group of autists. Or cringe tier inside jokes that bog the game down.

>Do you see modding as a zero sum game?

No I see faggots putting their mods on Nexus mods, forcing the original devs to either request its take down or immigrating into the community. With the latter usually happening.

>Where? When? Give me specific examples.

Oblivion modding scene is a great one. Built up by a lot of slavs and nips in the old days. (lot of porn mods from the nips as well, go figure) Eventually people made translations and added to their content. They then migrated to Skyrim because it was the "new and shiny" thing and don't even put their shit out anymore. Mainly because it's harder to mod. So to me only around 2 possibilities exist.

>game is much larger and sophisticated than the initial STALKER titles

<Modding community can't implement mods as easily but have already migrated to the new title and the community fizzles out

>game is on par or smaller than the initial STALKER titles

<no reason for modding community to move to a newer title with as much or less content

Either way I don't know why you're autistic to even want a sequel. With some of the mods released we've basically got everything we've wanted out of the series. What could AAA actually add that isn't already implemented that would actually work? There's nothing I can actually think of that I would like to see that's not already implemented. And why even continue with the STALKER series to begin with? At the point where you want to make a STALKER game, you would probably be better off just making your own game.

>>16467259

>>16468297

>Say the game is good, then normalfag will latch on to it and any semblance of a decent community will be ruined, just like Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, ect

You're admitting that you'd rather have nothing than get a good sequel because "muh community" in a singleplayer game. I'm not even going to bother addressing the rest of your post with such flagrant feminine irrationality on display at the core of your argument.

>>16469541

>You're admitting that you'd rather have nothing than get a good sequel because "muh community" in a singleplayer game.

Probably because it doesn't need a sequel dipshit. If you actually bothered to read the rest of my post you would know that. GJ on shitty damage control for lack of an argument though.

>>16469616

>Probably because it doesn't need a sequel dipshit

There isn't a single series in existence that couldn't use another good entry. With the way the market is, and has been since ~2001, any new game that's actually good is a major victory.

>If you actually bothered to read the rest of my post you would know that

The rest of your post is nonsensical rambling. If I wanted to listen to some tranny make ill-informed vidya rants I'd go read shitaku.

>GJ on shitty damage control

Damage control would be how you've continually doubled down on a thoroughly irrational assertion, and have grown more unhinged with every post.

>for lack of an argument though

I succinctly explained this in my first post to you: >>16466650

>>16469738

>There isn't a single series in existence that couldn't use another good entry

Which modders have been doing perfectly fine.

>and has been since ~2001, any new game that's actually good is a major victory.

And games that get sequels that are from early 2000's are complete shit almost 100% of the time. Not worth the effort from the devs position. Not worth the circulated hype from the fans that will end in bitter disappointment.

>The rest of your post is nonsensical rambling

>doubled down on a thoroughly irrational assertion

>I succinctly explained this in my first post to you

We're not going to end up with a good game period. And certainly nothing better than what modders have already produced. That to many words for the empty space between your ears to encapsulate and process? Or should I remove nouns and verbs next?
