I heard alot of good things about pic related and since it was

S.T.A.L.K.E.R is the worst meme game that was mentioned here... EVER.

It's boring, the gun feeling is extremely bad, the dialogues make no sense, you need like 8 different mods to make the game look somehow fine, and the list could go on.

The worst thing is that the x-ray engine used in the game is really really, REALLY, poorly optimized. Even in Call of Prypiat.

You can't even max it out on a quad-way SLI Titan Xp rig...

In 720p resolution with no Anti-Aliasing!

Don't waste your time with that shitty game... I know, I know, it will go on sale next week on Steam, and you will be tempted to get it. But the truth is that the entire collection is not even worth fifty cents... nor the required disk space for installation.

Just forget this piece of crap. You can easily get good open-world games like Far Cry 3 or 4, or Fallout 4, on every Steam sale.

Don't fall for this trap, like I did two years ago.

You better off playing Metro 2033, it's stalker refined.

Go complete vanilla on your first run and crack the difficulty up to master. I'll make the game easier ironically. Localized damage is important early game so aim for headshots.

For the love of god, mod it.

this is pasta and also bullshit

The post above was posted a week ago.

I guessed you missed it...

Just refund the game. You can get the full game free anyways on Moddb.

I bet you spam new vegas threads with how shit of a game you think it is.

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.

off the ledge with ya.

vanilla: SoC > CoP >= CS
modded: SoC > CS > CoP.

>>381604346
Vanilla COP is miles better than CS

>>381604495
vanilla CoP empty, calm and underwhelming as fuck. Ugly as sin to boot.

>>381603529
The game is amazing and neo /v/ is junk. Check the /vg/ for all info you'll ever need.

The thread has only about 10 posts... yet three pictures that look like memes. Weird... I guess you're right, it's definitely not a meme, nor is the term "cheeki breeki".

Vanilla CS is buggy as fuck. It's impossible to enjoy it without mods to fix all the bullshit in this game.

>>381603658
I agree with this statement

>>381605371
>It's impossible to enjoy it without mods
Funny how I did just that already a decade ago.

And nope; fully patched CS is already very playable.
if you need more insurance, use Starter Packs, as always. That at least will fix it to steady and well running state.

Play vanilla, but consider downloading ZRP

It fixes bugs
