@@VadymDobrohurskyiActually it may lag and the game will crash. Happened to me twice xD But I love shooting invincible allies for some reason.

That’s interesting. Do you remember which map it took place on? What year was it?

@@Max_Difficulty year is either 2008 or 2009 . I definitely don't remember the map, all I know is that it's a town by the sea and there's an airstrip east of it. And the American invasion I mentioned in the comment is from the north of that town from a hilltop. I am starting to believe it was a modded campaign since no one else remembers it except for me and my brother.

@@yousifm.f.m.s4572 and you're sure it was arma? I can't find anything like that, and the gpt 4 can't assist me as well...

@@Max_Difficulty I am certain it's arma. How can someone forget the floatzone mouse control 🤣.

@@yousifm.f.m.s4572 Here's an answer it gave me: The game you're describing sounds like "Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction" (2005). It’s an open-world, third-person shooter developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts. In the game, players take on the role of a mercenary hired in a fictional conflict set in North Korea, where they carry out various missions for different factions. One of the missions involves delivering a car rigged with explosives, which triggers a series of events. Eventually, an American invasion happens, and depending on the faction you're working for, you may find yourself trying to stop them or dealing with the aftermath of their intervention.

Yeah it's a single player campaign of the original Arma 2.

yo my man will be done <3

just started the Arma 2 OA today, stay tuned :)

Back in the day when it was released, I bought it and played it all day, almost finishing it, but didn't quite make it, then only returned to it 10 years later.

actually u can save as many times as u want if you delete the save file from My Documents

I belive it's around 80-90 seconds

Dogs of War is even worse. On my first attempt it lagged out and nothing happened after I captured Lopotev. Had to re-capture all map in order to complete it.

I used Sof Plus patch, you can find it on google. It makes the settings menu much more advanced. In the bottom of SoF Plus website, there is a donwnload section, pick a package appropriate for your case there. Extract the archive inside the SoF installation folder. Run the Windows Command script, it will generate an arhive like "sofplus-client-20140531-kb4571756", extract those files into the main folder with substituting the original ones. Now just launch the game with a better menu.

Thank you

I'd say it's a different game. But I understand what you mean. Still, I didn't want to invest too much time.

I truly enjoy the game, but only when I explore it fully by myself, without using wikis or similar resources. Call of Pripyat (CoP) can be a bit clunky in terms of progression. For example, you don’t get any information about the helicopter on the wall in the first location unless you read it in the dialogues. I totally missed this, and it took me a long time to figure out by talking to every possible stalker (I completely cut out all those searches). Then, the second location starts with a helicopter in a minefield, and you have no option but to figure out where the mines are by saving, loading, and trying to find a route. In the third location, you find the Gauss Gun, and again, it’s all about reading the dialogues. I spent about an hour figuring out that I had to take it to the alcho guy, Cardan. However, you basically don’t need this weapon for anything, and the plot just continues. I probably enjoyed Shadow of Chernobyl (SoC) the most, giving it a score of 85/100. My second favorite is CoP, which I’d rate 83/100, and in third place is Clear Sky with a score of 82/100.

​​​​​@@Max_Difficulty Of course, the game can be much more interesting when you know nothing about how to complete it. Maybe it's just I'm the person who can memorize the Wiki and still have the same emotions as if I haven't read anything there. :) And of course, I'm not pushing you to read the Wiki or anything like that! I don't say mine is the one and only correct playthrough. Just an advice about the plot lines you could've missed. About the minefield, though... There is a way to find a route. If I remember correctly, when you throw a bolt at the place where the mine is, a short 'click' can be heard. These clicks - specifically, their absence - can navigate you through the field without deaths. Yeah, the sort-of detective part with reading into dialogues can be tiring and slow the game down. The game tries to focus you on itself, but doesn't always manage to do this right. I remember how I got stuck on a Monolith survivors quest because I didn't know what I should do for the stalker clan to trust me and accept them. Had to do what I didn't want to do to gain their trust. With or without a Wiki in hand, we are in the same boat, I think. :) And the Gauss gun can be pretty useful during evacuation to take out Monolith snipers, if I remember my playthroughs correctly. To me, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is the series of games where you can rush through the plot and enjoy it - and you can walk slowly, exploring every inch of the location, and get the same enjoyment. I've put CoP on the first place because it was the only game of the trilogy a walkthrough of which I haven't watched prior, and my experience was a fresh one. :) But if speaking about the games without associations, then I put CoP and SoC on the same place, with CS just behind them. No 10/10 though, as you can't turn a blind eye on bugs, graphics and small but known gameplay problems. But they can't stop a lot of players from enjoying these games, for sure. :)

@@MaryNika1220Wow! I suspected something like that, even though I tried throwing bolts there and didn’t hear the sound. Thanks! Regarding the snipers at the end, my SVD handled them perfectly. I also thought it would be funny to carry the Gauss weapon without ever shooting it. Weird walkthrough humor :)

Thanks so much for positive vibes! I plan to complete all Arma one day here on this channel. But for now I've finished the Stalker series and revisiting some Sega Genesis games currently.

Overall, the game was fine, except for the last mission. On veteran difficulty, you only get one save, and the autosave might occur just before you lose the mission. However, you can go to the savegame folder, delete your save, and save again. Thanks to this bug, I managed to complete the last mission properly, and it took me the same amount of time as the rest of the game. In general, if you love Arma, this part is one of the most iconic, even with the bugs.

It tries to keep up the pace. Actually I did enjoy this aspect. I'm already playing the Call of Pripyat. Really looks like it's the most polished and advanced part.

@@Max_Difficulty Somehow, I was almost sure you would like the new method of looking for artifacts. It makes them more valuable to the player, as I see it :) A large part of the community thinks Call of Pripyat is the best part (the others think of Shadow of Chernobyl, not many mention Clear Sky as that). So do I, no doubt - Call of Pripyat is my favourite part to revisit :)

@@MaryNika1220 The Clear Sky is not even mentioned in the Call of Pripyat prologue. It feels like the devs wanted to say: "what happened in Clear Sky, stays in Clear Sky" :)

@@Max_Difficulty Mostly, it seems true :) But in Call of Pripyat, when you progress a little further, you will meet one character who, under specific circumstances, mentions the events of Clear Sky, so at least some things from this game are canonical :)

Oh yeah! And that's why it was the best. Personally I enjoy SOF1 more, because it's more Quaky. But this one is a gem too!

Thanks for such a detailed review of my playthrough! I did use some artifacts in the middle of the game, but I didn't find them as useful as the energy drinks I bought from each stalker I met. The ones that decrease radiation probably would be useful in the endgame, but I left them in the Bar chest to take more ammo with me.

@@Max_Difficulty You're welcome! I totally understand your point. But at least some artifacts are really useful - there are ones that stop the bleeding or restore health, which, to me, is pretty good. The single Moonlight artifact allows you to run infinitely if you're not carrying too much. But I agree that the necessity to balance the artifact effects makes it difficult to make a good set. This system was reworked in the next games, and it became easier to combine artifacts into useful sets. :)

@@MaryNika1220 sounds promising as I will start the next part as soon as I’ll have the time + electricity combo :)

You should definitely try it then. The gameplay is crisp as well! And there is a Steam version of this.

Oh yes. A life changing experience. One of best games of all time.

That's so true! We've seen all kinds of crazy experiments with games genres and gameplay back then, and now it seems like the most part are pretty same.

Most people in the comments here want this so much! Hope some day it happens.

Indeed! A real gem.

At least you are honest with that! Maybe you should try again now, just to close this gestalt :)

Will definitely fo the Vector Man on this channel too. Thanks for a recommendation.

Wow! What a talented kid you were. Good times, great memories. Thanks for sharing.

Indeed! The game design is top notch. Modern examples of this level of game design in terms of enemies and situations for me is Doom (2016).

The best rat himself!

Not sure what you mean, but thanks :)

@@Max_Difficulty Its a dialogue Turner says!. Haha!.

@@FGC_Amu Haha! Nice I've already forgot xD

There is a cheat code to do that though, as we discovered here in the comments :)

Ah, the good old days when smoking on planes was permitted.

Oh, how I miss those gaming magazines. Imagining the gameplay from just the text and screenshots was truly magical. I even wrote articles for one of them.

Yeah I missplayed a lot, probably would do a cleaner walkthrough with all the secrets one day.

There is a spiritual successor to the game called Unbound Saga. It has a little creepy style, but I might create a walkthrough for this channel.

Thanks for the advise! Will use that knowledge for the next walkthrough.

Yeah a proper remake would be definitely nice!

Hehe! Thanks for the honest comment. Most people claim they were much better gamers as kids than they actually were.

Indeed, it is! It stays with you for a lifetime because it is truly unique.

The most challenging aspect is having only one life, so losing health is always painful! Just like in real life xD

Absolutely. I can't understand people who see it as just another Sega Genesis game. I've experienced many iconic games on the platform, but Comix Zone still stands out, even among the best.

It was also cool to beat a new level and then tell the guys at school who hadn't reached it yet

Hehe, those were the days when we chose games based on the box design!

These good old games evoke some wonderful memories.
