they probably won't make another stalker, but now that the source code for all 3 games has leaked, stalker modding has started to enter a new renaissance. lost alpha is the first example: apparently they're preparing a directors cut with over 100 unfinished maps for modders to build on. also I have high hopes that the metro people start doing more open games

Wasn't Ghost's on the Bagger 288? It's a pretty terrible hiding place imo, putting it on the equivalent of a Russian playground jungle gym

I haven't tried Lost Alpha yet, but may as well wait until the "directors cut" or whatever is out. Call of Pripyat is probably my favorite out the 3, I prefer the 3 big areas to explore, has a better sense of scale, plus not having to sit through so many load screens like when trekking between Cordon and the Bar.

i think shoc has the better maps overall, but each one is significantly smaller and together they feel more cramped. if cop had like 10 maps of the size of zaton, it would be perfect.

or if pripyat itself were just more interesting. as it is theres not that much to it

# ? Dec 18, 2014 18:56 |

Yeah Pripyat itself definitely feels sort of bare. It's a shame the map doesn't have the variety of the first 2 areas. The Call of Chernobyl mod which intends to stitch all the maps together has the potential to be great if they can pull it off

Oh does anyone remember in Shadow of Chernobyl, that there was a dynamic list of top Stalkers and eventually as you progressed through the game you would start to rise through the ranks and you could even find and kill the top named Stalkers and eventually become the number 1 stalker. I don't think it had any kind of story purpose or anytihng, but I thought that kind of concept was cool. It was abandoned though. Any mods do anything to expand on that system?

Yeah that poo poo ruled. Lost alpha kinda has a thing like that where you can hop on the radio and call 1-800-5-CHEEKI to chat with single stalkers in your area. I think it also tells their rank and stuff too.

one of my favorite li'l stalker stories someone told in some thread or another was that he was huddled up in a shelter in a blowout and noticed the other guy wearing an exoskeleton and carrying a high end gun, and the guy turned out to be #1 on the chart sadly he died of mysterious causes during the blowout

Clear Sky is less good than Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat but still pretty good with the Complete mod. Think a harder Fallout with less 50's america and more vodka. Hey Fucktard!

Freedom forever motherfuckersssss Duty's all "No get outta here zone" but the Gauss gun is powered by fragments of an artifact and all these artifacts do crazy stuff and are constantly generated. why would you wanna destroy the zone. a friend of mine supports duty entirely because "gently caress snorks"
|
# ? Dec 18, 2014 22:23 |
I think Duty is fine because emissions aren't exactly something you want others to deal with if the Zone ever expands.

Survarium is actually good and fun if you don't have an aversion to PvP. It is currently only PvP matches hosted out of Russia though so it's def not for everyone. It's our best hope for a STALKER spiritual successor though. I really like the Metro series but I don't see an open world Metro scratching that STALKER itch. I think their style of gameplay is better suited for the linear progression they currently use. GSC returning from the dead is good news but I honestly don't hold much hope for them to produce anything notable since they're a pretty skeleton studio after poo poo went south as far as I know. All the talent went else where, mostly to Vostok. And that one dude who thought starting a kickstarter with old concept art and plagiarised assets was a good idea. Don't support any STALKER successors that show up on kickstarter/russian kickstarter started specifically for a STALKER successor, they're all scams.
