I wasn't liking newer games but I suspect it is because most of them dont do progression really well. Starfield: you already are about as powerful you can be 20% of the way in and same with many other games as well.

wish more games did progression really well natively so the game was interesting to play until the very end

Was thinking of trying out this modpack, is there anything I should know before downloading?

>>723375974
you lost

>>723376123
that its like 200GB and you gotta follow the install instructions

>>723376123
UN somehow managing to stop the shipment of weapons into the Zone forcing you to use their shitty crafting system.

>>723375881 (OP)
Goyma overcorrects the progression problem to such a degree that it’s ridiculous, you can't be serious.

>>723376123
You have to learn the systems of the mod or you will not have any fun.
Playing this like its Farcry 3 will make you miserable.

>>723375881 (OP)
This modpack fucking sucked
Anomaly is already just a skinnerbox and this makes it even worse

Play Gamma

>>723376279
True but you can tune it in the settings to your liking. you can literally set 100s of knobs to make it perfect for you. I wish more games allowed you to do that. Only other similar games would be heavily modded fallout and TES

what the name of the mod that removes gamma jank bloat

>>723376501
old world addon? or you can just play iwp at that point

>>723376279
>>723376360
Set gameplay progression drop down in the new game screen to easy is enough and boom progression is fast.
Whether or not you like the system itself is the real test
After I worked it out its pretty fun. But I do see gamma as more of a slow burn, living in the world type deal. It's for long stalker fans who have played every game and every big overhaul dozens of times.

No thanks, Tim

its worse than the shittiest soc mods

>>723376123
it crashed while I was reading the tutorial

>>723375881 (OP)
Once I get over the hump learning its systems, GAMMA became easily the best open world experience I've ever had and now I hate the world for not offering more of this.

>>723379313
Yeah except you get to that point where you got the good gun, you got the meds, the food. Now what?
Nothing
Fucking nothing
No quests
No endgame
I even did it in iron mode which sparked some life into the experience but ultimately its the same shit.

What do you mean? You follow Strelok's trail north and do miracle machine, brain scorcher, miracle machine if you like bad ends, the artifact hunts, Dr X, building a little rat nest hole in the wall to call home, etc. You do stuff until you're bored. That's the point of a sandbox.

And for the turbo autists, you can always hunt for newer, better guns and build a collection for that rats nest.

The point is to just enjoy the journey. There is no destination. Soak in the atmosphere. Sit down and a camp fire and be a roleplay fag for a second. Its fun.

>>723385006
Wish granter* instead of that second miracle machine mention. I'm retarded.

This is not STALKER.
All freeplay mods are shit.

Stalker sucks because it has no gore, it feel like shit shooting enemis and they show zero reaction.

>>723386747
fallout brainrot. impacts are so satisfying when bodies drop in stalker, and I don't need gruesome chunks of brain every time I shoot things

>>723386857
You at least need decals and splatter and for npcs to stagger.

>>723376731
>slopker 2

>>723375881 (OP)
What's the fucking difference between this and anomaly? Anomaly is just a fetch quest grind to buy shit.

>>723376123
The thing starts off with various mods enabled and others disabled. I've found that a lot of the default mods were bloated garbage, you really have to take some time in the beginning to pick and choose things to your liking, or you're going to have a bad time.

>>723386952
Based, tarkov is riddled with cheaters.
Single player is superior anyway

>>723386952
Tarkov os multiplayer

?????

>>723386941
Npcs do have a stagger animation, but more variety & movement would be good sure. Sadly mods haven't got there. But what you haven't mentioned is the combat ai in stalker is really good and that's way more important. The number of times I've been flanked and their stealth has shit me up more than any monster, fuck

>>723387272
>naked with a mosin
ftfy

>>723375881 (OP)
I got up to beating the brain scorcher (this patch) and got kinda bored afterwards
I guess I just like the hobo phase

>>723387296
I still remember different death animations in CS, where did they go?

>>723376661
Who needs any of that when you got the kickball

>>723387296
Far Cry 1 has better AI

>>723387326
Best phase, yes.

I just want a mod that adds objectives for the factions other than assaulting each other's bases. Like when Stalkers say they're going on a raid and need some more guys, the "raid squad" actually appears and eventually they will go to a dungeon and loot things. You can join and your fame/rewards depend on how many in the raid are left alive by the end of it which proves you're either a good guide or a bad guide + whatever you find like normal.
Or Mercenary squads meeting with contracts, Bandits staging ambushes, etc.

>>723387603
Missions like exactly that have been added in anomaly mods for a while, I believe gamma is now up to date. faction warfare is also a bit of fun, in regular anomlay, not sure how it functions with gamma

>>723387790
NTA, but Ive never heard of those. Shure, there are some contract missions for the mercs but thats abuti it I think?

don't care still playing anomaly

I've tried this a couple of times, I'd love to properly enjoy it as its very interesting. The issue is, modders go too far with things. There is literally no way to play this without watching many videos explaining things, then failing several playthroughs before working out what to do. It's too much tedium for 20-30 hours.

>>723388147
what is the big problem? the only thing i was confused about was the weapon part and cleaning system. Everything else is straightforward if you played any other mod before

>>723375881 (OP)
Maybe I'm cucking myself out of a good experience because muh realism but every description of this mod makes it sound like you need to My Summer Car tier maintenance on guns to maintain them. The main problem with this is guns aren't cars, especially AKs. There's no way even in the Zone's conditions that you could kill a squad of guys with the same rifle and not find enough parts between them all to build one that just fucking werks, and you don't need 50 tools to do that.

>>723388275
Well there's the whole starting build and healing thing which will take you several runs to figure out, as you will fuck your economy very quickly.

>>723388410
>runs
Dont play on highest difficulty when yorue learning, simple.

>>723388439
I was recommended that by some video, there was some logic behind it. Ultimately I never really enjoyed playing. Idk how many times I've played the first 3-4 areas of Stalker 1 at this point.

IWP is better and more fun to play

>>723376331
kek

>>723387790
Any examples?

>>723375881 (OP)
50% of this mod is literally looking at menus

>>723376731
the only thing good about it is that it's one big map with no loading screens, I think it's worse than the previous games in basically every other aspect, even in some visuals.
I wish they hadn't gone for the ue5 super realism graphics and auto-generated billions of trees and bushes because it makes the game a chore to play when the AI can see through all the clutter and you cant.

>>723387308
Good enuff
