S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Stalker) Thread

I feel like they have nowhere else to go seeing how COP ended the zone in a pretty dull way. Unless they make games that take place elsewhere in the timeline or reboot it I don't see a lot of things being done to the story that modders haven't already tried.

I want to see that really bad Fallout 2 mod that brings a whole bunch of Stalker assets over to New California done in reverse, being modded into Stalker. Just imagine a proper 3D Stalker title set in the Fallout universe, they already have some of the weapons in the game as "easter eggs" so that's a good start.
Mod for those who haven't heard of it(wouldn't blame you):
 
What would be a good mod for clear sky in the same vein of Radiophobia3?
Also thanks for the OGSR links
Its niggardry how every mod nowadays is totally hosted on discord just one bad grooming away from being nuked from existance.

Stalker 2 is fun but it isnt fun to deal with UE5 faggotry. Sucks to think fun shit like this will be patched away before fundamental problems get fixes (if they even do)

Finally got to play Stalker 2 and I’m super disappointed. I was truly optimistic about this game, the game looks and sounds nice, not nearly nice enough to justify the terrible performance (and the shader compiling time is embarassing), but that aside this does not feel like a STALKER game. The cutscenes and the whole cinematicness of everything from the forced uninteractive animations to the dialogue is out of place and not something I personally want out of Stalker. To me it reeks of western AAA slop. The combat is lacklustre, the NPCs are unimpressive and there aren’t really any new interesting gameplay developments compared to the first game from almost 20 years ago. I feel for the devs who were probably proud to work on this game but it sucks and I’m glad I didn’t buy it.

I got the game last week and even if I enjoy it, there are some stuff that I truly dislike.
For one, the stupid weight limit and shit. It is so annoying and I just drink energy drinks all day.
Another is how slow Skif reloads his weapons. Takes forever to reload a shotgun.

There's something to fix the horribly slow animations on literally everything he does. You'll almost certainly have to use a merge tool thanks to how UE works, but shouldn't be that big of an issue.

As to weight, pick a mod, any mod. I finished up a run right after release and I've been thinking of getting back into it now that modding has started to take off.

One thing that I really love is the look of the zone.
It just look so damn good and seeing where the anomolites are destroying the area is amazing.
Never thought it would look this good.
To go back to negatives, that there is no fucking nightvision is shit!
Why do I only have a stupid flashlight?!
Give me a nightvision so i can see at night.

Supposedly, because the render is fucked up sideways, it'll prob be put back in I mean, it's a no brainer to do so, you even have models for them NVGs, but god, the render is so fucked up.

I know it's not exactly hard, you can find thousands of tutorials on how to make one by indians on youtube proving how easy it is, and I don't know why GSC didn't add it, be it yet or if they will ever. They also cut out the PDA versions you could get, which is pretty sad, and about 50-25% of the quests that they wanted to put in.

It's been a while since I've played SoC or CoP, but I don't remember the early games being a slog to travel in. Going from one place to another is so fucking boring.

People idealize Stalkers, and Zombies represent nothing more than the consequences of their own greed.

Don't expect sympathy when you're the one choosing your destiny.

Okay mister misanthrope. God forbid one have a little sympathy for zombie lines the devs put in the fucking game to provoke such reaction. People idolize bandits as well.

After you are shown the same exact video for the 1000th time, it gets grating, it is basically one of the most well known and shared things on the community and outside of it, it's not like you're showing the Return to the Zone talking "Talking to the Zombie" segment.
