>CoP has worse gameplay that Soc
Have we played the same games ?

We're in the minority. The only good thing about Call of Pripyat is equipment upgrades but everything else just feels like a step down and I don't understand why everyone thinks it's the better game. Atmosphere gets old since there's only 3 big maps, City of pripyat is just a bunch of copy and pasted buildings with barely any exploration, labs are short and shitty, AI ignores you when you're sniping at them, zombies nerfed so hard that they're barely a threat anymore, that god awful Left 4 Dead part that have Snorks flying directly at your comrades while their retarded AI unload their guns on each other, and the story is incredibly bland with a rushed ending. I still love the game but I think SoC is an overall better game.

CoP is certainly shit, especially because of the empty open world design. Like seriously, enemies spawn so sparsely here and there's no method of transportation other than walking. Did all the bikes melt during emissions or something? Enemies in buildings don't respawn so farming artifacts is literally just a walking simulator now. Unmodded CoP is just boring.

this isn't a lore thread faggit

Cause you are used to modded soc. Vanilla soc has odd quirks that went away. Like cant move and stab at the same time in soc. You can in the other games.

I will never forget being hyped to get to M pripyat, expecting this expansion 3rd act like the first two areas and finding out you do the ambush, the school, then meet strelock and run to the ens game.

what's the nicest looking stalger mod

Yeah it was incredibly underwhelming. Strelock literally just walks through the front door and explains the big mystery "It was an anomaly all along!" and then you run to a helicopter THE END. You could definitely tell that's where they ran out of budget. Nothing like the confusion and chaos at the end of SoC.

>Did all the bikes melt during emissions or something?
Thematically, there shouldn't be bikes. The point of stalking is to carefully walk between anomalies and radiation patches. Riding a bike just means you plow right into a whirligig. Now, CoP did fail to provide random anomalies throughout the maps, you'd have a strong argument against CoP there.

this user gets it, mods reactivated engine functions in SoC the devs knew were too buggy for launch. Launch SoC is nothing like even the lightest modded SoC.

Requesting the jpg with instructions of what mods to install

I wanna try this game for the first time

>Like cant move and stab at the same time in soc.
But you can

Go try it. Stabbing has a delay and forces you to stand still. In the later games you can run and stab.

Gunslinger + Misery

They added this really shit sway animation every time you press strafe.

However there's a mod that fixes that.

SIG or Groza?

Which is better?

You're wrong. You can't SPRINT and stab. You can move and stab just fine

Because SoC is the only good game in the series.

45 round mag vs 30 round mag

for CoP or SoC? Theres a new mod called Memories of the zone, which runs on the 64 bit engine and has some mods built in but is very close to vanilla. Better textures all in one

moddb.com/mods/stalker-memories-of-the-zone

kinda true... I still enjoyed the other 2 but they were no near SoC

I still don't understand why Strifer built Gunslinger off of vanilla CoP. It's such a bad STALKER game that it feels like he wasted all his efforts.

I'm just holding out hope some autist can port at least a few of the animations to anomaly

Playing the Call of the Zone mod, freeform Stalker is really fun.
