Tep I sure do love finding a random gas block for a ump45 in a random science lab for no reason which is color coded for complete retards and there isn't just a vendor for these things because durrr loot progression iz hardcore!!!1 even though stalker is not a post apocalyptic game it is a frontier game taking place in a hostile frontier, society outside still operates

STALKER is an open world survival horror series. STALKER GAMMA is all the 3 games maps patched together with the survival aspects cranked up to 11 with a lot of milsim autism. You basically play as one of the roaming NPCs from the original trilogy and the focus is on routing throughout the zone to deliver goods and eliminate mutants/bandits. Like imagine death stranding but with actual good gameplay. It's a good series.

>>716057903
I will have to check it out then. I assume you should play the through the original series first.

>>716058004
>I assume you should play the through the original series first.
Yeah the games aren't long. Crank the difficulty up to its absolute maximum so it actually functions like a horror game. The medkit drops are too generous on lower difficulties. The other important thing to know is that aiming behavior is similiar to Counterstrike, and different guns and ammo are effective at different ranges which isn't always obvious. You really want to shoot bandits in the head, and for early game the pistol is great for this, but deceptively, if you use slug ammunition in a shotgun instead buckshot, it becomes pretty effective for popping tougher stalkers in the noggin, whereas buckshot is better for putting down smaller mutants when they charge you down.

Should give you an idea what to expect. The zone is basically hell on earth and you're wading through nuclear radiation to get to the next outpost while managing a hopefully increasingly heavy backpack.

Is this true?

>>716058004
At least play Call of Pripyat, it's the most playable for the modern audience of the vanilla games.
Vanilla expansion mods like OGSR for Shadow of Chernobyl are great too. They modernize the game and add more content. Unlike Anomaly modpacks like Gamma they actually have proper story and sidequests too.

>>716059493
Nah, SoC is the best one and don't put dogshit like OGSR in it, especially on your first playthrough. At most use ZRP, but it doesn't really need it. Only Clear Sky NEEDS mods because it's so shitty and broken.

>>716058004
Ignore fags shilling you gamma or anomaly, in fact stay away from the freeplay slop and play some classic/story mods first after beating the trilogy. Enhanced editions are garbage, play the pirated repacks with ZRP/SRP. Visit /sg/.

>>716059493
>Unlike Anomaly modpacks like Gamma they actually have proper story and sidequests too.
Gamma has a story and sidequests.

>>716059735
Anyone telling you to play "story mods" is a retarded Russian that wants to mod the game into a crappy fallout clone.

>>716059796
Gamma's story is the most barebones shit and the sidequests are on par with the worst gamebryo fetch quest slop

>>716059735
>Visit /sg/
I would advise against using /sg/, they ruined stalker discussion on 4chan and dont even play the game any more, and instead talk about Russian twitch streamers. A lot of them are amateur modders that have interpersonal drama with the stalker modding community.

>>716050992 (OP)
Unironically the best way to play stalker if you are a veteran, especially with ironman mode on.

>>716057903
>imagine death stranding but with actual good gameplay
nigga thinks 100 janky ass mods slapped together in a time wasting with no cohesion is good gameplay. oh my goodness

>>716059651
>SoC is the best one
SoC is pretty dogshit. and the end it turns into a cod campaign mission. pripyat is way better.

>>716055193
What game?

Play the original trilogy, do not use any big overhaul mods. ZRP is acceptable for Shadow of Chernobyl and SRP for Clear Sky, they're basically unofficial patches. There's also supposedly a PRP but that game is very stable so no need for mods.
Gamma/Anomaly are only to be played a) once you've finished the original games and b) you want to play complete freeplay and like the opposite end of the realism scale where guns disintegrate after 2 shots + having to spend 30 minutes after every run outside, going through menus to put together gun cleaning kits and 18 different types of medications. Some people find that fun, some don't.

>>716060369
>the end it turns into a cod campaign mission
No it doesn't? You run through a war zone without shooting anything and then crawl around in tunnels shooting gassed up soviets with a lightning gun. What CoD game is that? Are you retarded?

Gamma is full retard when it comes to artifacts. Everything about them is so shit that they may as well be removed from the game. It's the complete opposite of most STALKER mods where artifacts are lucrative and useful.

>>716060016
I just checked and they're posting screencaps of reddit and just screeching about random people I've never heard of

>>716061238
Gamma is the only mod where you can make progress just by artifact hunting. It also has cool artifacts that let you do unique things.

>>716061238
The fuck?
Special artefacts in the early game will make your life much easier.
And late game crafts can you nigh invincible.
You're an idiot.

>>716060537
im talking about fighting hundreds of monolith soldiers.

>>716061968
You can literally just pick super artifacts up off the ground. GAMMA is like a greatest hits marathon run of STALKER, it makes it fun to revisit all the stash and artifact sites you may have overlooked in the base games, since they really are kind of pointless in those games, and that's why it's cool to play it as a follow up to the trilogy and the most popular stalker mod by leaps and bounds. Because it makes exploring the zone really fun.

>>716062185
>im talking about fighting hundreds of monolith soldiers
That's just realistic, the monolith are pretty much just an analogy for the soviet union and they really did just throw hordes of brain washed retards at people.

>>716062251

Most of those with special effects are not that useful in my experience but thankfully they're from a regular anomaly mod so I can use them in my own modlist without the garbage degradation, trader limits, forced crafting and gamma 'balancing'.

>>716062510
STALKER fans are the biggest posers in gaming. so many of them have never played the games or think their super modded versions represent the actual games.

>>716059735
Huh, I didn't realize that enemies took more damage and got smarter at higher difficulties. Thanks anon.

>>716063973
They do not, only in the original initial soc release is that even partially true.

>>716062921
Other way around.
Poser trannies will tell me to play the trilogy instead of gamma even though I have played it decades ago including a shitton of other mods that were made over the years some even untranslated.
A world where people like me exist who have played ALL the games and now want MORE doesn't fit into their tiny brain.
And they VERY loud about this for som reason.

>>716050992 (OP)
What other games do this slow progression very well
I especially liked the part where you collect different weapon parts to make a clean weapon again. Was super rewarding to me. I dont like multiplayer

>>716057903
No, gamma is not that. gamma is a sandbox version of the game. Its just anomoly but some dipshit decided to add all the mods. Its like playing skyrim, and going to nexus and literally downloading everything that exists and putting it in one instance.

The worst shit is that its tuned horribly. grok thinks hes going for "realism" but is so far away from realism its not even funny. everything is tedious for tedium's sake. remember a while back we had that trend where a lot of autists got it in their head that more complexity was somehow more better? grok is one of those autists. gamma is really only enjoyed by people who don't actually like stalker but think playing it makes it them a hardocre gamer and youtubers making garbage top mods you must play content.

if you wanna play anomaly just play anomaly but with your own mods for tuning the game how you want it to be tuned. gamma is gay and retarded.

All freeplay mods and all story mods (except RMA) are shit.

>>716065081
Call of chernobyl / Call of the zone are fantastic as a base to work with and then you can mod it from there. Its the most true sandbox experience. I agree that most of the others are pretty shit though because they try to turn stalker into something else entirely (that something else usually being really bad autism simulators or really bad horror shooters).

All the survival games seem like such a tedium to me, popularity of this genre made me realized most poeple play video games for completely different reasons i do.

>>716065358
Most people play for the same reasons you do. There is just a very vocal minority especially around stalker. Gammafags are pretty much the vegans on the community. Back in the day it was the Miserytards, but that pack is mostly forgotten now. Anomaly and everything that came from it was a cancer that did irreparable harm to the community.

>>716057646
I wish I was a girl or liked buttstuff, they get all the cool things

>>716065358
STALKER is not a survival game, and as >>716065621 said is just a bunch of autists in a dick measuring contest to see who is the most hardcore masochist.

I sure do love mods and mod packs made and compiled by people who don't actually like or care about stalker who instead want to make the game single player tarkov. Did you know they actually removed the ability to buy and sell guns, claiming the UN made it illegal (everyone in the zone but the army is technically there illegally, there are criminal factions like the bandits, but they all follow this law because fuck you use our shitty retard crafting system)

You're misusing the word survival. Every game is a "survival" game in the sense you're trying not to die. Stalker is a first person shooter with horror and survival elements, but isnt remotely close to being a survival game. Just because theres food and 2 different types of medicine doesn't make it survival.

No I'm not, survival horror is literally a genre. There's a difference between resident evil and five nights at Freddy's or whatever, because it's about overcoming challenges with limited resources, which adds tension and strategy.

>>716050992 (OP)
GAMMA is not stalker. It's a survival crafting game complete with basebuilding. It's ok if you LARP but the questlines are anemic and always boil down to
>shoot 100 monoliths, bandits, or SINners.

The guns can be cool tho and the new thermal mechanics are neat

>>716067290
>GAMMA makes all the cool shit you ignored into a game in and of itself.

But does it have the Hulk? Because if it doesn't, why even call it Gamma?

How about Stalker Anthology?

>>716068119
I would give Gamma another shot if there were some actual quests to do and not everything being random tasks from other stalkers. I don't mind those but they need to be a distraction from the main story rather than all that there is. CoC/Anomaly's "story" is just a placeholder excuse for you to clear the labs etc.

>>716050992 (OP)
I heard it's hard to install so fuck it

Gamma is stalker the same way project reality is battlefield 2

>>716068594
Whoever you heard that from is a certified retard, and so are you.

>>716068376
they don't plan on expanding literally any of the storylines. I tried a military playthrough and used the disguise mechanic to get in good with all the factions and the military questline is literally just clearing labs with a set piece fight at the power plant.

It's also bugged and they're not going to fix it. There's so much potential with different faction quests but they're all dogshit

>>716062416
the journey into the powerplant and moving through it was fine, but the last part where you traverse through portals was too long and unfitting

Me personally, I'm waiting for OP OGSR

>>716061592
Not anymore, now you can't upgrade artifacts without mutant parts

>>716068890
I know creating quests is a pain in the ass when it comes to stalker, but you'd think more modders would've tried adding a story considering CoC is like 10 fucking years old by now. The only real example I can think of is DoctorX's quest mod and he died a few years back.
When the gear treadmill is the only real objective, there's not much reason to keep going after.

>>716068710

>>716069410
A mod like that seems like a pipedream but I hope it actually happens

>>716069018
Actually, GAMMA is pretty clever in this regard, as you should never fetch anything, but rather preemptively store anime parts in your meat locker. Its simply not profitable to do fetch quests, you have to route very carefully and try to complete a ton of missions between routes, to spawn max stashes.

Im playing Stalker SoC for the first time atm, started vanilla first (master difficulty as instructed) but the there were so many buggy interactions i decided to install the unofficial patch ZRP and the game now feels 10 times harder. AI camps behind cover, flanks me and i need entire clip to kill 1 guy. Am i supposed to run past some patrols? i often clear area to see another group come and attack me 5min later. Also i cant carry shit, im considering getting rid of pistol and its ammo just to save some capacity.

>>716069891
>Don't take the quest until you actually have the item
That's how it's always been for Stalker's artifact deliveries etc.

>>716070072
Pretty much, there's just a reason to do t them now, and now you're aiming to complete like 8 of them at once.

>>716070021
You're in the hobo phase. Until you get a stalker suit you're carrying almost nothing and should avoid fights with the military unless you can get easy headshots. Bandits should be vulnerable to your shotty, mp5, pistol etc. You don't really get access to decent weaponry and outfits until after the Garbage.

>>716068090

>>716068090
>I love videogames

A head shot from a pistol will always kill a bandit in 1 hit. Also disregard /vg/ retards crying about GAMMA and telling you to pile mods onto SoC.

>>716070808
i could swear the ZRP patch made enemies tankier

>>716071005

>>716070808
>>716071143
This is the reason I always install amk ballistics.

ppl don't like gamma because complexity scares the average vanilla fan where you basically never have to worry about ammo or healing or any resources really.

>>716071203
Not necessary, learn your weapons and ammo. They are tools for specific situations. Actual realistic ballistics would just be fire fights from 500+ yards away, which is what gamma becomes eventually. Which is annoying but also kind of nice because it pushes you to actually use binoculars/scope instead of going on a leisurely stroll through the zone without fear of getting sniped.

>>716071446
>Not necessary, learn your weapons and ammo.
No. I simply refuse to play with a pistol that is a joke beyond 10m.

>>716071408
if you want to see what that "complexity" does just look at gamma's god awful medical system. holy shit, 10 different drugs that all do the same shit.
Damn, that bandit shot me, better shoot up some fentanyl and take a baby aspirin to heal this, but I'll need to eat a box of candy bars afterwards to offset the hunger loss.

>>716050992 (OP)
>gammaslop
No thanx

>>716072441
I don't mind GAMMA's healing system but I think it needs to be tone down one degree as far as complexity goes. Like pre-post heal is fine, the rate that it heals and the amount they heal are also fine, but in the end you just end up using stimpaks and tourniquets. Neither are hard to craft or come by. That plus the higher tier post heals and you don't need anything else. It feels like the protective effects of things like antidote etc are lowered in exchange for having post heal effects. Just remove that, consolidate the post heals, and you won't have to sit there and sift through your drugs any time you're injured.

It's not really complicated, just inventory bloat

>>716072956
the problem isn't even the system itself but how much redundancy there is in the food and medicine items. does all these items need a weaker version that only exists to craft the better one?
Just cut away a bunch of them, you can still have plenty more than the 3 types of medkits and 3 food items from the OG games.

there's room for flavor, but at some point it stops being flavor and just contributes to item bloat.

Elder Scrolls ruined a generation of young men.

I love GAMMA and am starting to hate the hate autism as much as I used to dislike the game itself before I gave it a proper go. Its one of the most rewarding progressions I've ever experienced in a game. Going from the hobo phase dying when you're clipped by a stray boar tusk, to a roving god of death is a hell of a journey. And it tickles my guntism like nothing else.

>>716074138
Its slow and inefficient. All it does is lets you conserve resources a LITTLE bit at the beginning so you can get on your feet. The early game healing mechanics are not fun.

>>716074668
don't reply to schizos

>>716074668
>The early game healing mechanics are not fun.
Getting good at the early game is fun. If you don't learn how to deal with the obstacles you'll never learn you can get a .45 early game and walk around absolutely obliterating stuff with a handgun like a badass.

>>716075070
I started with a .45 and learned the mechanics just fine. Its literally just slowly healing while you LARP at a camp fire. You still want meds when you're out in the field for emergency survival situations. Its just a mechanic to trade off with heavy drug use if you can make it back to a waypoint safely.

>>716062251
You literally can't, you lying faggot.
The highest tier artifacts can only be crafted, and their recipes are now random drops.
High level artifacts spawn only in the northern regions locked behind MM and Brain Scorcher.
The recipes for high tier artifacts are also only available in the northern regions.
Even mid-tier artifacts require a crafted detector which requires crafting tools which require you grinding quests.
Artifact spawn rates are extremely low, and the rates drop even lower if you spend too much time in any location.
And don't forget RNG mutant part drops.

Artifact grind in GAMMA is even slower and more tedious than weapon/armor grind. You always get D weapons and Exos before you get a full belt of high tier artifacts.

I haven't played gamma in like 2 years, I'll probably wait for that armor rework to try it again. Half the late-game suits were shit because they lacked artifact slots.
The skat-9 variants could get like 2 at most and that annoyed me.

>>716077112
honestly who the fuck cares. Why do you care?

>>716079480
the suit balancing is annoying. That said you can easily change the number of suit slots in one of the GAMMA armor config files. Literally just filter for suit or armor in MO2, I can't remember which. You can also alter their stats if you really want to I suppose

>>716079621
if artifacts are going to be this big grind for a payoff, the number of slots should just rise with the tier of suit. let late-game suits have like 3 minimum.

>>716079830
Artifacts are basically worse than late game equipment and a high condition mutant hide, anyways. They tried to set up a system with a bunch of sidegrades but then made the other shit even better

>>716080247
>Artifacts are basically worse than late game equipment and a high condition mutant hide
Well shit, they managed to wrap back around to when misery shitted up artifacts.

>>716053749
I'm not a furry and this looks dope.

>>716080396
for late game artifacts to work (and I think you get maybe 3 to 5 slots for most high level suits anyways) you NEED to use a health regen artifact plus a body cooler. If you have a good chimera hide it helps but there's no resists on it so you only get weight plus regen. The compass has a lot of good ballistc res but the downsides are so severe you need to offset them or you'll die to some anomaly or radiation just by touching it.

It's a pain in the ass and you have to actually finagle builds together, which is fucking annoying considering that to get a full level compass you need 3 of everything that's needed to MAKE IT which are already rare as fuck. You basically won't get one without hours and hours of grinding.

there's a lot of interesting mechanics in gamma but the anomaly balancing is probably the worst shit they've added outside of fucking mutant meat decay and FRIDGES

reminder that gamma is quite literally réddit: the mod

not sure why these mods are so allergic to artifacts being mildly useful.
when I played it like 2 years ago the high-tier physical/anomaly resist artifacts were good but a big grind to reach. making everything a grind is Gamma's mission statement but it has to at least lead to something useful.

GAMMA is not Stalker, it's an Early Access Survival Crafting game that uses the Xray engine and assets
You cannot refute that

but I'm already home, in IWP. Hope to make some quests/maps in the future

Yeap, I remember all of that in SoC.

What’s actually new? The tl;dr change log makes it seem like they added a tutorial, hotkeys, the meme ruzzian shotgun revolver. And allegedly removing the busy hands bug which I suppose is big if true.

Fuck anons, these look so good...

Never knew fellow SESH fans fucked with Stalker like that... good to see.

>>716082657
Are you hyperventilating right now

>>716085793

I think last time I had to either kill off all overlays or switch off nvidia shadowplay to stop the stutters

>>716084429
it started as an experiment how to make songs sound like they come out of a radio and adding them properly into the game with SAVandT. I wanted to add more music, especially ukrainian one from the early 2000s that fit into the era of SoC, but then it drifted into adding SESH songs (only to the bar radio) and editing some textures to know how to properly save them (and for fun)

>>716062251
fucking dipshit retard. the lategame artifacts are fucking dogwater. i can tell you've only ever played GAMMA if you think the ""balanced"" shit you can find is comparable in any way to vanilla or any other mod.

i know its thread about gamma, but as a beginner i think about starting in Anomaly, is the gameplay less autistic and tedious in it?

>>716059735
That infographic is shit for simple fact of recommending LURK 1.1, the mod that removes artifact effects. Get out of here with that shit.

>>716087362
nigga it was made in 2014 update it yourself

>doesn't post the name
>the low poly and the character design filters out whiny faggots, trilogy fanboys and modfags
I can tell you're talking about some roblox kind of shit, kill yourself

>>716087312
Its less tedious and you can always pick and choose what addons you want, certain addons are still not supported by Gamma and some probably will never be

>>716050992 (OP)
GAMMA is a lot of fun but unless you REALLY enjoy the hobo phase of the original stalker games I'd say to tweak the settings a bit, it takes too long to get an economy going (I'm a retard and picked the hardest difficulty for this too)

>>716050992 (OP)
Is this the infamous horror shooter that doesn't FAKE survival?

>>716088493
and it's FREE

>>716087312
Anomaly is more of a base for other mods. You need add-ons for it.

Why are your people gifted with such low IQ? Is it genetic or just a side-effect of not having a father?

Huh

>>716080786
Shhh, anons, nobody tell this guy about r/4chan

god I almost got filtered installing this shit

I like some aspects of Gaymma, but I the autistic Tarkov grab every little piece of loot/get every piece of junk to build a better weapon, aspect.
I'm just not built for that.
Anomaly was fun, I just want that without the Tarkov autism. Is there anything like that? Or do I have to build my own modlist?

>>716090685
>I like some aspects of Gaymma, but I the autistic Tarkov grab every little piece of loot/get every piece of junk to build a better weapon, aspect.
You definitely should be extremely choosey about what you pick up. A huge chunk of the game is managing weight on extended routes. If you just pick up a bunch of worthless garbage the game will be miserable. It rewards forward planning and strategy.

>>716090078
not stalker

I enjoy gamma but then again I also enjoy elona/elin which kind of have the exact same "spam radiant quests until you can advance through the region/do main quest loop" lol

>>716090776
you really don't have to be that choosey most of the time, you're rarely picking up full weapons. there's a lot of random junk to pick up to the point that they needed to add autolooting.

I don't care that it's furry, my main problem is that EA and ver0.16
Though core gameplay is fun, hope dev (he made adaca) will not abandon it

>>716075070
>learn how to deal
You just cheese it. There's so many ways to get around the shitty loot system.

>>716087876
>hobo phase of the original stalker games
Only CS had any resemblance of hobo phase. SoC was extremely linear, with predetermined progression starting from "weak weapons, but even weaker enemies". And In CoP you literally start with AK.

>>716090776
>It rewards forward planning and strategy.
Gamma? Nah.
You just press Alt and it picks only things you will ever need. It's very hard to be overloaded unless you pick up several heavyweight quest items.

Vanilla SoC is still the best game in the series.

very cool, what swell design, its not like stalker thrived on 100 quicksaves a minute
