i would be ok with that if the bullets actually hit where i aimed instead of adding this random bullshit, is not even fire spread is just bullets being chosen as duds at random

>>381508856
well the shotguns are trash and you should never use them m8

also stop playing on normal, its literally easier on master

>>381509417
I'm assuming you're in the beginning area then where you start off with the slavic supersoaker. The thing is trash and magically redirects itself to avoid enemies. Past the first area you get better guns that are much more accurate and deadly.

try hitting an enemy a meter away from you while taking your time to aim at his head and only firing one bullet and see how nothing fucking happens, i even remember firing at point blank and the bullet not hitting, this was all on the highest difficulty
i wanted to play this game in a stealthy way and not even mods could fix this shit

Thinking about playing STALKER, only STALKER I played was Clear Sky I think and I it's many years ago where I got stuck in some zombie defense mission.

You're just acting like a spoiled child who is mad that you don't have "Press button to do a takedown" ""stealth"" of modern console games.

You CAN fully play STALKER stealthly. I do it all the time. Being sneaky in teh Zone just means sniping one or two enemies out before they realize you're there, then disappearing quietly from the scene so you are not spotted and flanked.

>>381510483
>How are the other two games?
Way, way better.
CS is widely considered the worst one of the trilogy. You should ALWAYS start with SoC.

you've played the worst game in a trilogy of damn good games.
Take that as you wish. Here's the rookie guide to get you started with the series proper. Play in release order.

here you fucking go you fucking retards, from some thread

"Part of gamedata/config/creatures/actor.ltx :

hit_probability_gd_novice = 0.20
hit_probability_gd_stalker = 0.30
hit_probability_gd_veteran = 0.40
hit_probability_gd_master = 0.50

Part of gamedata/config/weapons/weapons.ltx :

hit_probability_max_dist = 10;"

50% probability to hit on master, are you serious?

>>381510713
i just wanted to be able to aim at someone's head and actually hit him and not just pray for the bullet to register this one time, i fucking play red orchestra 2 for god sakes, i want realism in my games not artificial shit like this

>i just wanted to be able to aim at someone's head and actually hit him and not just pray for the bullet to register this one time
-Get a rifle
-put a scope on it
-preferably load in some AP rounds for a good measure too
-set selector to Single-shot / burst
-do the Low-crouch
-place scope's crosshairs roughly on top of your target's head / a bit above if he's really far away
-pull trigger.

Bam, dead Cheeki Breeki.

>I play RO2!!
Yeah, means nothing. For starters, RO2 has barely room for the bullet physics to shine.
Second, STALKER is not simulator-tier realistic, as it exaggerates the physics and ballistics for the sake of balance AND RPG-like progression.

You can easily 1-shot foes even with the starting pistol, but ONLY within its maximum effective range, if you take in account the very short reach of the 9x18 bullets / 00 buckshot.

>>381510721
I wish deathclaws were this dangerous. I want more games to have that "you're fucked" enemy.

>>381510397
That wasn't even me lol. Again I'm playig on master and nothing does shit for damage. I'm in the sewers killing bandits at Mole

>wth this is an actual equipment in game?
Yes.
>I never got past the hobo phase.
it shows.

>>381511067

I play RO2 as well man. But >>381511353 is right with his image. You are just in the hobo stage. In the hobo stage you are underpowered as fuck and are basically rape bait. I assume you are still in Cordon. Don't worry in the next area you should be able to find an AK74u or maybe a better Shotgun. Once you get on a bit, maybe 10 hours into the game you should finnally have some good armor and decent guns once you get to the main trade outpost of the game.

The gunplay really feels different between each stage of Stalker. By the time you are at God of the Zone stage you can basically one shot people from across the map often times. Your guns feel powerul and accurate as fuck. Stalker has a really great sense or progresion.

I am betting you got your asses handed to you by the car park bandits, and later on the military raid on the newfag camp right? If you return there late game you can just clean sweep those areas easy peasy. The gun mechanics in Stalker are great, you just need to get used to them mate.

Can I play STALKER without doing story missions and just roleplay as an explorer and scavenge abandoned buildings?

>>381512378
>Once you get on a bit, maybe 10 hours into the game
Make that 2.
Four tops. If you're not in 100rad Bar at that point, you're seriously taking your sweet time with things. Which may not be such a bad thing, if the start's giving him so much trouble.

>>381512702
quite a bit yeah. On my first playthroughs of all 3 games, I spent literally WEEKS doing nothing but sidequests & pointless exploration.

Keep in mind though, you may need to proceed in the main quest lines to get an access / easier access to later areas.

Limansk is a pretty nice level in CoCk, just wish it wasn't so linear.

do you like games where you have to plan your shots? do you like creeping up on enemy bases slowly and then having an intense shootout, do you like un-scripted horror? if yes, get. if no, don't. just be aware that the gunplay is not like most fps games, and that's usually why a lot of people enjoy it.

>>381513510
This your first time on /v/, or have you just not lurked ANY of the hundreds of looong STALKER generals we've had for years?

STALKER games are brilliant, and very unique. On the surface, they may seem like many other, modern FPS / sandbox games you may be familiar with, but the similarities tend to be purely superficial and deceiving.

>why are they so good then?

They're scarier than many "true" horror games released in past few years.
They look prettier than some much later released multiplat titles.
They make games like Far Cry 3-4 feel like horribly dumbed down, handholding kiddie games.
They are fairly realistic, but not simulator-level. There's real bullet physics and stuff like bleeding and hunger, and one shot to the head can kill anyone.
They are VERY long lasting games. One playthrough in vanilla can last well over 25 hours at calm pace, but I've spent a good two WEEKS in all three of them on my first playthroughs. And later a lot more with numerous mods.

They're not perfect games and have their few issues, but in the end they are like "rough diamonds": totally worth investing time and effort in. They are just not afraid to kick you in the groin and call you a bitch - which is quite rare in modern games.

Look up the rookie guide pic in >>381510889, and get to it.
Remember to hold your horses and not try to rambo it through.

>>381512702
Look up the mod "Call of Chernobyl"
Combines the all the areas in the series and lets you start out as any faction.
Also has fun modes, such as when you die you take control of a random person in the zone.

thanks for the laugh.

If I buy the game will the developers even get their money? I heard they disbanded or some shit, I've pirated the game for so long maybe I should return the favor

>>381508856
I think this truly happens in the second game: I tried playing without mods in master and the enemies take as many bullets as in any "normal" game, but I take a few less.

>I don't know what an MOA is
Good job. That is actually how guns work. It's exaggerated in game, but just enough to make it noticeable. Also, contribute some of it to your character not being a vice on a bench. He's not going to punch through the same hole twice. People in real life struggle to do that with sub-MOA weapons.

>>381522760
Not going to matter when you're shooting sub-50 yard distances.

Also this amount of reaching to defend shitty mechanics is hilarious.

So are New Vegas and STALKER the best open world shooters out there?

>>381509986

You can always try out Lost Alpha first, its basicly SoC+ with many things added that didn't make it into the original release.

Don't know about CS. CoP is great, nice story, general good game. And you can go with Call of Chernobyl Mod afterwards, merging all 3 games togehter and giving you completly freedom to roam and loot the zone.

release order

>>381525638
Release order. SoC, then CS, then CoP.

I've played through Shadow of Chernobyl, I got up to the bar and fucked around in the surrounding areas, I thought it had pretty good atmosphere but I think either the gunplay sucks or I suck.
I was playing on master difficulty, and whenever I would shoot over long distances it would feel like I never hit, nothing seemed to affect the accuracy of any gun, and I killed every enemy by ambushing them or luring them past a corner and unloading on them.
How do I prevent this? Is there a way to increase my accuracy? I really enjoyed the rest of the game but the shooting mechanics kinda ruin it.

Get the TRs-301 with a SUSAT scope or AS Val. The fast-shooting AK-74 has shit accuracy like the standard AK-74 and should be dropped as soon as you get either a AN-94 or a NATO weapon.

>>381525902
what guns were you using? ballistics and damage vary in each gun, especially long range. you're not gonna get many long range kills with a MP5A1 with a caliber of 9x19mm
