Play STALKER Anomaly

where to start with this series lads? loved the metro games and really keen to try stalker, but what mods etc should i start with for the maximum experience?

>two years late
Imagine playing with a shit ton of bugs. Like drugs stop working on switching to another zone. Sniffed that wonderful cocainum to get all the loot to the trader only to get cucked by some shitty coding. And no matter how many years will pass they won't be able to make radio not to turn off on zone change or loading.

Is it out of beta? I'm holding back.

1. Shadow of Chernobyl
2. Clear Sky
3. Call of Pripyat

The last Stalker mod I played was Misery. Looking back I don't know where I found the patience to finish that shit, but I remember the trick for making progress was making six gajillion trips to the water treatment plant and hoarding tons of loot, then after you have every gun worth having in the game, and all the best armor and anomaly protection, the rest is relatively easy.

The only mod you need is Complete.

that looks pretty good too.
will check out

Are there any mods that aren't just remixes of areas from the original games? How hard is it to model levels for the x-ray engine?

I wish they had quicker updates

Its stable, never had crashes on the newer version.

STALKER 2 when?

It's not.

Item bloat, empty as fuck world, broken ai, nothing to do except restart the game every 10 minutes so that you can return to hobo mode.

Stalker was a good game for it's time but it needs revamping with mechanics that don't push gameplay even further backwards. Also the layout of the maps sucks and gives you no reason to explore any of them.

does it add new maps

You know that you can tailor the experience to your liking right?

Only one

joint pak is better lol

they should make all new maps. there have been too many stalker mods where they don't know how to make maps and they just fuck up the graphics and weapons to make it more atmospheric or whatever. it's a waste of time playing the game again just for that

Does it have faction wars and territory changes ?

Yeah i too love it when modders insert Burnt Fuzz inside a ground texture

yes, quite bugged mode called warfare

To my knowledge making maps in Stalker is hard, only russians have the patience to make them.

Only in Anomaly can you get a grenade, a can of beans, and a tetanus shot as a quest reward

I like it. Still fun after a good 12 or 18 hours, but as with all Stalkan it loses challenge if you play super conservatively.
Only real mechanical gripes I have are items that strip other items down into their components have far too little durability, and artifacts + containers don't seem worth the weight trade-off.

ok thanks for the answer
