Which S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game was the best?
Anomeme
Shadow of Chernobyl.
I learn towards call of pripyat more because the endgame is not a huge mess
Call of Pripyat. Shadow is great too, but Call really polished the formula and is more replayable.
In terms of gameplay - Call of Pripyat
In terms of everything else - Shadow of Chernobyl
CoP
Shadow of Chernobyl hands down. It's not like there's something egregiously bad about the other 2 but for some reason they're just missing that special sauce the first game had
SoC>CS>CoP
because nothing can beat shadow of chernobyl's starting area
They each have their moments.
Agroprom underground and the labs in Shadow.
Bloodsucker lair, chimera hunt, and the train depot in Call of Pripyat.
I'm sure there are some for Clear Sky but I honestly don't remember my playthrough of that game much. And those are just examples, there are plenty more great moments. In the end it doesn't matter which is better because if you like one then you'll like the others.
modded Call of Pripyat.
While we're on the topic, what's everyone's preferred mods? I've been playing Autumn Aurora.
I really wanted to try OGSE but the bastard refuses to install correctly
>My anitvirus also flags it sooooo
Pushing through the old hospital with the boys in blue was probably the least shit endgame shooting gallery out of the three, though my favourite moment from CS is wiping out a Freedom base in the dead of night while it pisses down with rain and the only sources of light are fires and flashes of lightning.
>cs>cop
ballistics and grenade spam in cs are fucked.
You mean less of a mess
one thing that pissed me off in SoC was random pointless side quests which played like some shitty MMORPG. In latter games they changed it proper quests

>There are no bugs, only anomalies
Clear Sky always felt the most immersive despite what a buggy mess it is. Fight me.
you have to download an FPS limiter or if you have Nvidia just use the control panel to dump it down
STALKER was developed by retards so the Vsync option that usually fixes this kind of bullshit doesn't work.
>STALKER was developed by retards
Yeah, but the X-ray engine is an archaic eldritch horror too
>Vsync option that usually fixes this kind of bullshit doesn't work.
user it's not that the vsync doesn't limit the framerate, the vsync literally doesn't exist. it does nothing, it is a nonfunctional part of the menu
I kinda liked the faction warfare part in Clear Sky even though it was messy
>I kinda liked the faction warfare part in Clear Sky even though it was messy
There's a mod to make those actually work. Can't remember the name rn though
Bros will STALKER 2 be good? I really really want it to be but for some reason I have very little faith
God I hope so. I'm nervous they're just gonna make a metro knock off. I love metro as well but stalker is something special and I want more of that.
Its literally going to be battle royale with day one dlc.
My favorite is still SoC.
Narodnaya Solyanka
Honestly if it was MMO-like where you create a character and basically just fuck around in the zone like you would in Single Player I would enjoy the shit out of it
The devs who managed to make slavjank magic are all gone, it could be shit, it could be good but it won’t be the same kind of good that made the first 3 special. I’m just hoping that the mod support is just as good so we can de-consoleify the pc release
There's already a handful of heavily STALKER inspired Rust clones on Steam. I want a classic singleplayer or maybe co op stalker game on a decent engine
Zoomers will destroy any kind of immersion just like they do in any survival mmo, if they allow private servers then you could have the potential for some great experiences but it’s coming out on consoles so I doubt it, and egomaniac autists will eventually ruin those anyway
What you described is literally just Anomaly and other mods like that
anomaly > SOC > COP > CS
Anomaly is overrated
Thats going to depend on whether it has people of colour/gays or not
that's right
That's quite a dedicated austit we got there
How do you spend that much time there? STALKER is great but there's really not that much in cordon
Call of Pripyat is the best because all the quests are more fleshed out and tie into each other. Even the boring errand for the scientists has more to it than meets the eye.
he used to be the most dedicated (autism) poster on the (mostly dead) GSC forums
