Great video!

4:40 it just kept getting worse 😂😂😂

My PC's fans spooling up just watching this video. It might legitimately explode if I try and use that Mod Pack.

playing the flute with the goblets is peak skyrim

I threw SoC on the hardest difficulty because I read somewhere that it’s the best way to play. Idk if they were just taking the piss or if that’s for real but needless to say I couldn’t beat the first encounter. I decided to try again later and ended up forgetting. But I want to give this a real shot.

I just got the first game for Switch and really looking forward to finally playing this series

Getting the correct aspect ratio would be a good start, your image is stretched.

I'm a fan of Morrowind, Gothic, Kenshi, and Postal 2. Vanilla STALKER looks gorgeous to me already.

I totally get why people say play the ogs first, but as a kid that was introduced to chernobyl through cod 4 and enthralled by it (like millions of others), Anomaly is the best addon for that experience. the best thing that Anomaly has achieved for the community is that new players are thrown into the zone with no warning of what anything is; making you far more interested and eager to learn and that is far more immersive for me, like you have irl gone to the zone with no knowledge bar the fact this is a wasteland. The main games are like legends/stories to hear about in the zone if you look at it from that perspective

Started with OG Shadow of Chernobyl as a kid, roaming around not knowing wtf I'm doing just run n gun. Picked it up few years later and completed it (modded) then played Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat and completed them vanilla. Then I got into Call of Chernobyl and then I played Anomaly. I recently played GAMMA (Brother this shit is hard) and then I went back to Shadow of Chernobyl wich all of a sudden looked so outdated like WTF. Long story short: The OG Trilogy has stories and such while COC, Anomaly and GAMMA are more sandbox oriented. If you're more of a Sandbox player, expect STALKER 2 to be amazing, but to have kind of a lack of Hardcover survival such as Anomaly or GAMMA. (That does not mean that we wont get an Anomaly 2 or something similar in the future for STALKER 2. IMO I can already see a similar mod getting developed immediately after launch)

I love the OG games so much. Im dragging myself through gamma right now. The weapon progression in gamma is absolute trash. I feel like i spend more time looking for parts than doing tasks

Cheeki breeki!

Long story short just play call of pripyat

love the vibes

6 months after. Dunno if already answered. Lost Alpha tries to recreate the previous builds of Stalker SoCh. Hence the Ammo equipping. It was a feature old Alpha/Beta Builds

I just discovered anomaly and it has been hard to get into but I'm digging the vibe, scarcity, and learning curve that it offers. I had no idea there was such a huge history behind it. I played games like metro, and chernobylite and was really into them so I was digging all that you said here. I initially searched up how to get into this game such as play style since I'm getting my ass kicked but between your explanation and watching some gameplay put in this video, it really clears it up for me. Thanks for this gem and I'll be looking forward to checking out S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2

I'm 37 and this game is in my head for 20+ years, this mod gave me opportunity to enjoy the game like no other game. The worlds is just beautiful and dark at the same time. The maps are like real live places been that big is a strong point. The difficulty is mesmerizing and push you to play and be better to experience yourself and also to be prepared. The story line is mystery really like in a masterpiece. When a game is rare gem it must stand far from the other games and this game/mod stands next to StarCraft, Quake, Half life, Age

I just picked up the stalker bundle in the steam sale for just under £6. It's taking some getting used to but I'm enjoying it so far. You mentioned using texture mods and ZRP together, but ZRP warns against using other mods, would that be referring to mechanic altering mods rather than just textures?

I love how retro it looks. And love the “euro jank” But I’m playing on console Then again I did watch the film whilst I played it

New channel? New sub! Your video really helped me out man

mfer playin this game on a fridge monitor or what its so wiiide

Just installed SOC and ZPR wish me luck! Thanks for your help setting up 🙏

As someone that started with Anomaly, I can really appreciate that it respects you enough to let you figure out the game mechanics rather than just telling you about them

Easiest way is to just play the game on master and don't expect to be treated like an all powerful god character, this game doesn't give two craps about 'You' the player and it WILL let you know it lol love the STALKER franchise for that simple fact.

Before Lost Alpha there are other mods (Stalker Oblivion Lost Remake, Vector of Alienation, RMA) that try to show or make known that material discarded or hidden in the games of the Trilogy.

I started with Soc but noticed that I was getting a little bit bored after I completed it so I watched Lore videos about the 2 other Games each 2h long (In German). After that I played anomaly before I got myself to play clear sky and call of pripyat. Now I am playing Gamma only

algo

are we still playing stalker ? I have been playing moded stalker for years and fired up stalker soc on my rtx 4090 in 1440p 8x msaa and no mods and it felt amazing in moded ❤

handsome chap

AA2 is THE mod it updates it perfectly for the modern age

The major issue with SoC is that the first 30 min to 1hr is basically the game stomping you in the groin when all you have is the Makarov and sawn off. Yes there's ways to get an early AK and gear but you need to find walkthrough/tips videos. And I would argue the game needs to start that way for progression to have meaning. You start SoC as a vulnerable and outgunned stalker and by the end you are a veteran of the Zone. It's just hard to convince someone to just push through with his pea shooter and wait for it to get better.

Game now on console And I am full in 😅

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. actually stands for 'Stalker'. This was done to avoid legal problems from using the name of the movie on which the game is based. The stuff you mention was made up later. Keep in mind that you are using English words for each letter...

Camera is fine, but get a proper mic and work on normalizing the levels. Good luck.

hey man great video! always wanted to know the differences between the stalker games and the mods like gamma!

No critiques. Cheers for the mod recommendations!

Thank you for mod recommendations, helped

why you so queit?

FYI: Volume is really low.

it was a good, straight to the point video man, and I am glad to have entered recently the STALKER franchise because i find such amazing people making awesome videos about a really awesome videogame :D It was fun watching your video even though i have already played the whole series xD . good hunting stalker!

I think having seen the Tarkovsky movie it also adds some depth to the feel of the games. For some reason whenever i was near the plant-Southern side where you always find the Pseudogiant/s and the Chimera in Anomaly under the open sky near the irradiated buildings it always reminded me of the movie which made me feel a connection to the other stalkers. (which are ofc. npc-s but never mind) It's probably because the radiation makes my chainsmoking habits surface which reminds me of the movie for some reason and i was there a lot making money out of the mutated parts. I played the original games when they came out but then dropped them and only got back to them a few years ago through Anomaly myself. The hype was real around the games but i had other games to play (the time the OG Stalkers came out was a real golden age of games if anyone remembers)wasn't that much into its kind of horroresque genre at the time, it's an acquired taste. (controllers still give me heart attacks-in fact even just seeing the psy light effect did in Anomaly still, i especially love the bush camo ones :D) But yeah, Anomaly is pretty empty and at some point right at Lab X-18 the game bugged out for me-the disguise system was bugged as well, a lot of wasted potential in that game from a roleplay perspective and i just wasn't interested in playing the story further as i experienced all the weapons i was interested in and finally got bored of sniping around the Cement Factory and its vicinity. Will probably give Gamma a try at some point whenever i have nothing else to do. I agree Anomaly is probably not the best for new players even just simply because of its emptiness which can make you bored fast. I remember a Bloodsucker attack at night from the OG games while i was hunting for parts for Sakharov and it felt way more intense at the time than everything i experienced in Anomaly combined, i really don't know what made me stop playing it at the time because i also liked the mystery of the games back then-especially the Wish Granter lore which we knew virtually nothing of at that time.

If you really enjoy SoC and Anomaly, so I recommend Old World Addon for Anomaly 1.5.2. It's HQ demake for SoC etc lovers.

cannot hear a thing

I agree that Shadow of Chernobyl is definitely a must play if you want to get into the series and haven't played it at all. Not only that but why wouldn't you? I'm playing it Right now on PS4 as it was recently brought to the console and I'm having a great time. I will agree that the shooting may seem clunky at first but as you play the game you can see that the developers did put a lot of work into the ballistics of weapons as you can see that bullets do drop and don't just go on forever and not hit scan. Moreover the condition of your weapons also matter as the more damaged/used your weapon is the less accurate and useful your weapons will be. And yes you cannot repair weapons without mods but at the very least with the use of special artifacts that you can collect throughout playing the game you can use them to repair your armor, which will matter much more for you later on as it will save you from believing you have to replace your armor instead of repairing it which will cost you a hefty sum especially for the high tier armors. Not that it's hard to make money really, it's not. If you know what vendors to use you can make a killing but I just don't think it's necessary to spend money unnecessarily especially when you can repair your armor and save thousands.

nice video it helped a lot even tho im now planning to play cop idk if its just me but i feel the voice is a lil bit low

COP and SOC both have Gunslinger now. Clear Sky has to wait a little longer

Whoa, apart from the mildly muted editing style, I wouldn't had guessed that this was your 1st video. So not bad I mean to say. And about SoC, 17 years and counting and it just doesn't get old. Sure, we've spent time apart, but I find myself returning to it from time to time, maybe years apart. Also the modding side is a whole world of its own.

I expected it to be a cheap cashgrab that tried to use a movie like a free marketing, but when I saw reviews on steam and some gameplay online, it tried to go for it. My expectations were kinda low, but oh boi, was I wrong. I liked the game overall, but after the update that added heroes, I loved the game! It has depth, a 4x that dont rip-off the CIV games and you can actually finish in one day. Hope they add more factions/mechanics/bigger maps

I played Stalker way back in 2007 when was launched... Today I installed Anomaly and wanted to try GAMMA, I could not download GAMMA, always getting - Check Internet connection

But like Gamma has a story mode???
