I wanted to side with Dijkstra since his plan to free Temeria was WAY better than Roche's, but the hell if I was gonna let him kill Roche and my beloved Ves. Fuck that.

Is it any good?

If you liked KoL, but didn't like the fact you had to grind booze and food or wait to do stuff, this is great.

i dont think anyone here is old enough to have even played kol

Consult this Starting Guide,
then see the /vg/'s huge Stalker General for more tips and links: >>>/vg/stalker

Play in the release order. Start with no mods - only latest patch, OR get the full "Starter Pack" first; these contain bug-fixers and light visual mods that can help performance as well.
Leave big overhauls for later playthrougs. Avoid the "Complete" -mods. Always play on MASTER difficulty for best realism and atmosphere, and disable crosshair.

Don't give up in the beginning! The starting gear sucks ass and first area can be a bit boring.

How's the balance on higher difficulties? I'm assuming it's not like Fallout where shit just takes an hour to kill but does it create situation where I'm noticing the difficulty instead of the game?

Thanks for the guide though, certainly reading though it

In case you've missed the fuzz about STALKER's truly unique difficulty system, the HIGHER the difficulty, the MORE damage everything inflicts. To both ways. Meaning YOU will die quicker, but so will "THEY". Thus, it makes an overall more satisfying and "realistic" experience.

On lower difficulties, the enemies can be quite half-deaf and blind, plus there's this odd "hit possibility percentage" coded to NPCs, which is extremely low on lower diffs. As in, their bullets may literally not do any damage to you over 60% of the time. Not only that, but your bleeding will stop and wounds will heal practically in front of your eyes on easy moodos.

tl;dr: Master difficulty is the only proper way to play STALKER. Not a meme, a hard fact. Think it like the Ranger-Hardcore mode in Metro 2033; not surprisingly, many same devs worked on both games.

I still gotta stress the importance of NOT letting the first hour or two to dictate your view on the game. Some truly LOVE the beginning's "hobo phase", when you're practically butt-naked and wielding rusty Ruskie pocket pistols, going against squatting slavic bandits and Ukrainian conscripts, as it underlines the survival aspect so much. However, I do recognize that more and more (console) gamers are not used to such stark contrast and steep learning curve beginnings any more. That being said, the better your arsenal becomes, and the more you master the ways of the Zone, the easier and more enjoyable the game(s) become. Ramboing is seldom a good option.

It and all games after Dawn of Ys are just varying levels of shit. Ditching the bump system was a mistake.

/v/ told me party-based Ys is shit and I have no reason to doubt them.

It's alright, too easy and way too many unskippable cutscenes.

I really appreciate games that visibly show changes in equipment or at the very least continue to have changes to the character models throughout the game. I hate when games use battles to pad out the length of the game, I don't mean in like jrpgs where grinding is kinda considered an aspect of the game for the most part I mean in games like bioshock infinite where there's ton of fights against mobs for no reason other than to pad out the length of the story

Not many games do this but I love it when status ailments are used to convey something other than "hey, this nigga's poisoned" or whatever. Lisa is the best example I can think of that does this. For example, there's a fight against a Joy Mutant that only cries, shown by its permanent Crying status, showing that it still has some sentience and it regrets what it had done.

Something I don't like, however, is when the game purposely slows the movement of your character. This happens in Lisa the Hopeful, a Lisa fangame, where you have to go through a mushroom-filled swamp while constantly high, and you have to slowly tread through this place. I do like the swamp area itself, I just hate being forced to walk slow as shit.

>>386917925

Yeah a lot of people were saying they hated swamp levels and pointless movement impairing in the other thread too. For sure not adding either of those. As for the status ailments with a purpose, that's really interesting. Not something I've thought of at all.

Requesting my MMO character on her "FlameRider Outfit" from the game "Mabinogi" doing stuff related to the Wild West, like playing poker, walking in middle of the town like if she was about to duel someone, shooting some empty bottles with her dual guns, sitting on a stool at the pub/tavern/bar (she doesnt drink alcohol tho), or anything else you can think about.

No lewd allowed, it will be ignored, instantly rejected and sealed away.

Please and thanks!

It shaped the modern Mario games

Such a huge step forward from the clunky SMB1 and 2(Japan) controls

It's my favorite classic Mario game.

Zero.

Probably more grey corridors and a handful of scripted spectacle shots.

I always wanted to write fanfiction as a kid, but I was too lazy to even do that much.

Fucking horrible. There are western games with good character design, but you just posted generic Dreamworks looking faggotry.

Looks generic as shit. That thick cutie needs porn though.
