Posts from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

I recently bought Stalker, fully patched. It has a repair kit, and everything breaks quickly, and there are terrible mutants and a huge number of anomalies, plus they're hard to find. It's really scary to play, and it's difficult to earn money. But there are still glitches, no doubt about it. For example, enemies – soldiers, Monolith members, etc. – are randomly created in the Bar. And their creation isn't fixed – it's so unfixed that Arnie (the arena manager) was lying dead when I approached. The same thing happened with Colonel Petrenko... But overall, it's a good game, and even the very first version is good.

Ekz, it seems you haven't tried other weapons. Even the Obokan doesn't have as much spread anymore. I can't say exactly which gun I liked right now because I'm at school, but it costs 17,000 rubles without any markups. Playing against the Monolith with a Kalash is tough; they have powerful weapons and shoot accurately, and every third one is in an exoskeleton... although I used it for a long time, I only switched it out right before heading to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Well, that’s what I mean. I found something else for myself later, it was more precise, of course, but still with the same purpose in mind.

I read through the forums – there are a lot of changes from version to version. I found mods that adjust the balance, maybe I’ll play on veteran difficulty again. One of them was particularly interesting – it removes the phrase “Yes-yes” from Sakharov.:)
Brak, I thought I had a problem with the bar, but it turns out you have an even worse one. By the way, if Petrenko were still alive, he would give a quest for which the player receives an excellent spacesuit. Also, scientists give armor as a reward for a quest.

Uh... Is that some kind of awful spacesuit, like "I'M AN ASTRONAUT!"???

Is... is that some kind of awful spacesuit, like "I'M AN ASTRONAUT!"???

Heh, that's the one! But look at the stats! Of course, the exoskeleton is great, especially with its +20 to weight capacity, but this spacesuit will also cost you over a hundred thousand. By the way, when a hero is killed, you can see that the costumes on him are not displayed.

The spacesuit is actually quite good)). I won't argue with that. But it looks simply awful)).

go through the whole game with an AK-47?! pervert. with a Stalker-style AK-47...
I, when I agreed with Duty to clear out the Freedom base, stood aside while the Duty members were being shot, and then I took some cool weapons off their corpses:)
I kept a couple for myself, and gave the rest to Freedom right away; they weren't even upset with me.
I also remembered another bug: I climbed over the fence at the entrance to the Bar zone and ran far, far away. And I couldn't climb back over.

Sandro, I know! I played normally about half a year ago. By the way, back then, half a year ago, I was in Pripyat (with the "Grom" weapon – I took it from the Duty faction – well, when we went to the Freedom base. I also put a Kalashnikov scope on the "Grom"). I learned about one stash from a Monolith member – and I found an army-grade body armor there!))) It differs from the exosuit in that it has 40% more radiation protection, but less weight. In short, I had awesome gear...

And also – has anyone ever seen Military Stalkers?))) If so, where – I'd be interested to see.

I once stumbled upon them while heading to the initial outpost in the late game. A group of seven was there, and I, along with three other stalkers who were camping under the bridge, got caught in a firefight. I was the only one who survived. That's it.

Added after 9 hours and 51 minutes
Another bug! The quest to protect the initial stalker outpost doesn't work properly when some "givi" claim it. Specifically, not all stalkers take cover, resulting in the "givi" shooting everyone right at the beginning of the village and killing many bots. IMO, it's better to go out and take them all down yourself.

Reading your posts makes me want to play STALKER :(. Okay, I guess I'll have to buy a computer.
I'll play Heroes 5, STALKER, and a lot of other games!

And the computer battles will unfold in new colors! And the world will forget about the existence of the monarch for n months, and studies will go by the wayside, because there's no need, and not for any selfish reason, but just to have fun...
Okay, that's just a joke... Optimism is flowing, I liked it!

I completely agree with what Lock wrote; there's nothing more to add. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. didn't exactly impress me, but there's not much to like about it either, although I think Clear Sky should improve things. The idea of adding factions is simply excellent, and if it's implemented properly, it will be interesting to play and replay. And even more so if the plot isn't linear...
I'd like them to add some standard shooter features, such as shooting from behind cover, interacting with objects, and generally, I WANT A THIRD-PERSON CAMERA! Ideally, if it's like in G.E.O.F., it would have the perfect camera, combining the advantages of both first-person and third-person cameras. Ballistics seem to be appearing in the game, and interactivity, and the world should become more diverse. The idea of super-anomalies is good.
Well, I don't have anything else to add to what's already been said.

Well, why not? Ugh... Understand that this is the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!

There are certain things that just don't fit, and a camera like the one from *Gears of War* is definitely one of them – the class isn't right, the game isn't right, and the overall world design isn't suited for a positional shooter. The feeling of presence in *S.T.A.L.K.E.R.* is very important. And shooting from behind cover is a feature in all shooters – Q and E.;)
By the way, what *S.T.A.L.K.E.R.* really lacks is the vastness of *Xeen*... or at least the fourth part of it.

by the way, I really like Boiling Point (also known as Xenus). The game is terribly buggy, but very cool. If they made Stalker with the same freedom and scope... and without any loading screens. by the way, it's an old joke, but it's still funny: In Europe, it was called Boiling Point because the original name sounds like "penis";)
