Will S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 ever re-emerge, /v/?

No and it may be for the best.

Yeah it's called Escape from Tarkov

So I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC, which difficulty is the best to play this game?

Also is the Complete 2009 mod worth it? Heard mixed reviews about it (like it makes the game way too easy ).

>>375674302

The max difficulty since difficulty is just HP related

Trust me it makes it easier actually

Master is the way to go
Don't use complete

>>375673827
no
>>375674302
complete sucks balls, just get ZRP and enb or a shader mod.

>>375674370
But I heard some people saying it ruins the immersion.

Well Idk I was about to choose Master difficulty

>>375674439
>>375674471
Okay thank you guys

>>375674471
>complete sucks balls

Why?

>>375675309
makes the game casual

>>375675309
it's makes the game more actiony apparently. For first playthrough go vanilla ZRP

>>375675449

How so?

Not OP here, I've finished SoC vanilla, what ZRP change ?

>>375675626

Someone redpill on this game

I thought bethesda got the rights for stalker now, are they ever going to do wnything with it?

>>375675691
o it fixes all the bugs, go complete if you want to then. Just for first playthrough you shouldn't use stuff like AA2 or complete.

>>375673946
seems like just some dayz inspired pvp game with some good atmosphere and 'hyper-realism'. Maybe if they added some mutants it would be cool

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. made me love Russia and especially Russian hardbass.

>>375675626
Can someone play the alpha without paying ? I want to try the game

>>375676320
Yes

>>375677083
Nothing on the official site, so I guess no...

I really hate how CoP gets all the love and it has the most boring maps.

CoC mod implements SoC and Clear Sky maps into CoP. Actually it adds the entire SoC game to CoP basically.

That's why all modders stopped developing for everything except CoC

by the way, gunslinger mod never

>>375673946
It's just h1z1/battlegrounds in first person.
Like all aspects of The Division's dark zone that was utter shit combined into its own game.

>>375678426
Oh, and if you criticize them, in typical Russian dev fashion they'll censor you.

I could never get CoC working because pic related.

>>375678901
You did something wrong, delete the entire game and redownload it and install CoC with nothing else.

>>375678901
if you installed mods they're fucking with each other. took me a few days of trial and error loading all the mods I wanted to get them to work together. otherwise you just fucked it up. installing CoC right on top of CoP wouldn't do this.

I haven't played CoCk since mid last year.
Has it changed and been updated significantly enough to warrant playing it again? I remember having lots of fun with it a while ago but I also remember it getting boring pretty fast unless you almost roleplay or do ironman stalker general challenges and shit.

>>375679427
Every big mod is compatible with it now

Dynamic faction relations, warfare mod, Misery, etc

>>375678703
So there's no point anymore to buy SoC?

>>375678426
What the fuck, there's no way theres a 12 player limit. Who in the hell thought that was a good idea?

>>375679806
Some SoC mods weren't ported to CoP obviously

>>375678703
Now I feel stupid for buying all of them. Well, at least it was on sale.

>>375677796
I could have sworn that game was supposed to be one big world and very similar to stalker. Last I played it, the game was just a general TDM shitty mechanic fest.

>>375678426
2 of those are true.

>>375673946
I like Tarkov but it is not stalker, stop saying it is just because it has fucking forests and russians.

>>375680880
All of them are true. Get help for your post-purchase rationalization.

>>375680510
We have anomalies (kind of, that shit kill you fast), but it's just as you've said: TDM with small maps. I'm very disappointed

>>375676320
I got a key off cuckbook so i dunno if they give keys anymore.

I feel like it should be one of the next games GSC starts on. Maybe after another RTS, a new one. Whether it will actually be good is another story though.

>armSTALKER exists right now and is incredibly fun multiplayer STALKER experience
>it's only available to Russians

>>375681108
GSC no longer has the people responsible for STALKER. They scattered to the winds after STALKER 2 ran out of funding and was canceled. Some are at the company that made Survarium, but they won't be making any new games anytime soon since Survarium was unsuccessful.

>>375675741
Guns are really good, sounds are excellent, game is pretty hard so its a turn off to faggot kids. Theres a short bit, but keep in mind game isnt done, theres glitches in a few places and movement can feel cumbersome unless you play for a little bit.

>>375681186
Just because they don't have the people doesn't mean they can't start on it. And it also doesn't mean they can't get people who can make an FPS within the next few years. But yeah, like I said, the actual quality of the game is dubious.

>>375675558
Not that guy, but iirc it increases player damage and resistance while reducing enemy health, damage ans accuracy.

It just makes the whole game so much easier that its kinda dumb.

>>375673910
What he said.

>>375681186
>Survarium was unsuccessful.
Yet half of /v/ shit on the producer for shitcanning stalker 2 when he didn't like what he saw.

>>375681858
He didn't not like what he saw, the game ran out of money.

Stalker is so painfully overrated. Do people pretend to like it just to be contrarian

Thanks, now I know to filter your dumb ass

>>375681941
There's varying things about what caused the game to be canceled. I don't think Sergey would have run entirely out of money.

>>375682037
More like do people dislike it just to be contrarians because the games are great.

>>375682181
You know I'm funposting though

ANOTHER ONE TO MY COLLECTION

Do you really want the memories of such excellent games tarnished by what would essentially be a cash grab? You know it'd be fucking terrible anon.

F to pay respects. It was a great series of games. May it's memory live on.

>>375680217
SoC is still the best in the series imo.
