Yes. And it's beautiful.

Have you ever watched Stalker? or read the novel it was based on?
What are your favorite video games?
Why do you think its one of the worst?

I don't think anybody will ever really be able to get STALKER if they didn't play it at launch. People may have played it since then and enjoyed it but they're not getting the experience we did when it first came out, it's just been memed and spoilered way too heavily and you just can't get the experience of going in blind and discovering everything organically, plus they're playing it in a totally different context.

The loading screens and weird level design make it feel like a compromised open world. Either go full linear or allow the player to go in any direction.

>Have you ever watched Stalker?
I have, I like the movie even though I think it's a bit pretentious
>or read the novel it was based on?
no
>What are your favorite video games?
resident evil, dungeon crawlers and immersive sims
>Why do you think its one of the worst?
i just think the gameplay sucks, the world presentation is cool and the game has a very unique look feel to it, but when it comes to actual gameplay, it feels really unsatisfying

The shooting is an acquired taste desu. But once it clicks it's very enjoyable.

What a worthless fucking generation. Good luck in life, you're gonna need it.

Have you made it to the bar yet?

just play anomaly lol. fixes the gameplay.

Just use cover and get headshots

making it to the bar is too easy, you should've asked if they made it past the lab in Yantar.
Anomeme is ok, it's just another CoC derivative though.

While the long-stated idea that the game gets easier at higher difficulties may be false, the true purpose of it is that it makes people learn to simply get better at the game.
I always end up in stage 3B

I played with some mods Any Forums recommended back in 2012 there was a website with all sorts of overhauls for this series. It plays like russian fallout with spooksters. Why is that bad??

Anomaly has the same problem as CoP to a lesser degree. Lategame power creep for the player makes nothing feel threatening anymore and kills the atmosphere. Call of Pripyat has it much worse because it has no difficult fights at all and constantly gives you free money, free guns, free ammo, and tons of well equipped allies to carry you.

Whats the best mod desu? My pick would be Autumn Aurora 2.0.

Being able to repair and upgrade your equipment ruined STALKER, change my mind.

why does this shit keeps blue screening me, jesus christ

What did you not like about it?

He probably got filtered by the first shoot out at the abandoned warehouse.

lol no, SoC was retarded, having to carry an extra gun as replacement was shit

is that the registry not found message? just type
-skip_reg
at the the end of the target field in the shortcut's properties.

Just pick up whatever you find

41% yourself

Dont bother, I tried everything already.
I think I fucked my registry by fucking around with dll files so select games wont run now and microshaft offers no service to get it fixed.

It wasn't as easy to do full open world back then.
You could certainly do it, games did, but they sacrificed visuals and had huge budgets compared to STALKER.
