Play on master and the gunplay is fine. Retarded mechanic but it's fine as long as you get gud. Also atmosphere and soundtrack are top notch. Would agree quests are a bit shit, but eh, it's not really the main thing you look forwards to in the game

Master difficulty has no effect on the gunplay, stop spreading this fucking ancient disproven myth.

>>384480263
The gunplay model is actually amazing. The problem is that first half of the game intentionally gives you gimped weapons, and introduces some hidden mechanics that do make sense from a gameplay-perspective, but not really from common sense one and the game does not inform you of them.

But really, it's just the weapon progression curve that screws people over the most.

FPS game vet here, gunplay in SoC is objectively bad. Even on Master all weapons feel like peashooters and headshots are mandatory. Realistic ballistics are fine and all, but don't make the shootan less shit. The game only got great shooting mechanics in CoP.

I was just shitposting, although it's pretty obvious that OP is a noguns idiot because else he'd appreciate the ballistics of the game and not ramble his faggot mouth about the gunplay not being AAA-worthy, when the reason for that is quite obvious.

You shouldn't take everything so seriously on 4chan, newfriend.

>>384480563
Don't even get me started on Portal. You actually found that game to be fun? No shooting, no leveling up...

OP is right

Got it for $4 on G2A

Unmodded it is an absolute abortion that should've never seen the light of day. With mods, it is a 5/10 that is a rough draft of an actual RPG

Beyond the typical exposition dump from a god-like entity?
The final level is absolutely beautiful, one of the craziest looking levels I've ever seen. And they fucking funnel you through TELEPORT portals so you can't freely traverse this amazing huge level. I'm so fucking angry about that. On top of that, the only thing you fight are monolith goons with 2 snorks sprinkled in for good measure.
>>384481264
>>384480481
On difficulties lower than Master, a certain percentage of your shots that connect with the enemy will simply phase out of existence. This is determined by the difficulty level and affects your enemies as well. On Master, if you score a hit you score a hit. The reason this was so infuriating on difficulties below master is because the starting guns already have shit tier accuracy so on TOP of compensating for spread you would be simply not hitting half of your shots anyway.

>>384480826
>So maybe it's my own fault for not taking into consideration their shit tastes

Pretty small.

Funny you should bring up stalker. I got it in a sale a long time ago and never got into it. I started it up randomly after reinstalling windows onto a bigger hard drive and installing many steam games that I might want to play. Well I randomly fired up this game, and suddenly I'm 40 hours in and I'm still having fun. That hasn't happened to me in a long time.

Stalker is the game in which I for the first time ever enjoyed RPG mechanics because there were none.
It always bothered me how in many games they try to have it both ways. They want to let you do the fighting action style, but they tie you down to arbitrary numbers like the character has skills and stats disconnected from you. So you end up in a situation where only grinding can let you kill the biggest bads that are i.distinguishable from smaller bads.
In stalker you don't kill for arbitrary xp, you kill to take their guns and bullets and if you don't need them you can walk away feeling you miss nothing.
An AK is as good of a weapon as you need to finish the game everithing is as mortal as it should be provided you put a bullet in it's skull.
Yet the game maintains a clear curve where you feel more and more powerful as you progress.
It's briliant.

>>384481264
It's called random chance and confirmation bias.
I'm looking for the particular article that breaks down the whole mechanic set down to code screen shots, absolutely proving beyond any doubt that this whole thing is a MYTH.
Difficulty has NO effect player's accuracy in any of the Stalker games. It only affects enemy health, enemy accuracy, and some of their damage resistances.

>>384481582
>On difficulties lower than Master, a certain percentage of your shots that connect with the enemy will simply phase out of existence.
First of all: they don't. The game just does induce a massive damage reduction on shots connecting shortly one after another, counting only the first hit of a series as full damage.
Which applies to ALL DIFFICULTIES and to both player and all enemies. Master difficulty has zero impact on this. It just bloats up enemy health and damage reductions and increases their accuracy. Nothing else.

>>384481847
So wait, playing on Master difficulty is a meme after all?

>>384481974
>t. pretentious numale

>>384481847
>>384481997
What is the source for this? Genuinely everything I've seen and read, including friends who are veterans of the Stalker games and my own personal experience with the game, line up with what I said. I'm not saying this is wrong but I'd like to see this get backed up with something.
I remember being stuck in the Garbage for a long fucking time because I was convinced I could kill the entire bandit army with the starting pistol and I legitimately couldn't hit a single thing. I turned the difficulty to Master and was ripping through them shortly afterwards

You know how Dark Souls is to Skyrim?

>>384481929
you probably haven't even played it

>>384480826
You only needed ZRP with all vanilla settings to never experience any bugs or crashes. The rest of that stuff you're talking about just isn't true.

- A.I. is not inconsistent, it's varied. It's not perfect, but probably the best you'll find 9 games out of 10. It's definitely an example of good A.I. Especially because the game is minimally scripted.
- Enemies can see you at the same distance you can see them. Boo fucking hoo. You CAN be sneaky, but you must consider visibility and noise.
- I am 40 hours in and I've never had enemies respawn on top of me. They respawn after you've left the area, or so late that it doesn't matter, maybe. It doesn't normally happen. And this isn't the type of game where you loot everything. You take a look at what the corpse has on it, and you grab what you need.
- There are only a few "fetch quests" like that, and there are many good ones. Also this game has emergent gameplay and fetch quests help facilitates that.
- Linear compared to what other game?
- I have the most basic installation possible: Windows 10, steam version, ZRP bugfix mod, and I never experience bugs, or if I do, they're the kind you'd have to be a long time player to recognize.

Your grievances with the game are based in ignorance.

>>384482097
Yes.
Well: it does make resources more scarce and enemies are tougher and all - and the higher difficulty still fits the tone of the games better. But the claim that master difficulty makes the game "easier" is flat-out LIES.

>>384482182
You are all victims of what we call "a mass hysteria". The proof of that is in the game code.

>>384480763
Have you played stalker extensively? you overwhelmingly fight other dudes, there are barely enough "monsters" just to keep the threat of them alive, and it depends on whether you count slightly irradiated wildlife among them

>>384482776
>the higher difficulty still fits the tone of the games better
If it doesnt effect my weapon's aim then that's fine because I'm playing CoP and the game feels pretty easy so far, I've never really been that challenged by anything yet but I've only just reached the 2nd area.

Atelier and Nep rebirth

>No they're actually GOOD jrpgs!
Surprise! They're fucking not.

and Dwarf Fortress still needs a UI overhaul. Needlessly complex bullshit, but a great game.

>>384481168
You get to CNPP expecting a massive sprawling complex filled with horrible mutants giant anomalies deadly radiation, etc. Instead you get inside and then you run through a corridor filled with 30 monolith soldiers and then you get a cutscene. Unless at one point you take a turn and go through a different corridor filled with another 30 monolith soldiers and then you get a cutscene. And then if you make a certain choice during that cutscene you're suddenly go back outside and have to run around through these teleportation portals that never appeared in the game before that point

>>384482776
>>384482306
Interesting stuff, the friends who got me into Stalker were wrong about this then. The beginning of the game is extremely muddled by awful guns with garbage accuracy so it's easy to see how this rumor could have gained momentum. I guess the placebo effect carried me to crushing Agroprom on master with a sawn-off
>>384483052
Call of Pripyat, while perhaps a better gameplay experience in some ways, is honestly quite boring and extremely easy even on the hardest difficulty. I would have tried some of the popular mods with it if I weren't so fucking underwhelmed by it as a whole.

>>384483083
>>384483083
Outside of the terrible level and encounter design in CNPP, the thing that got to me the most is just how terrible and lame the fucking actual story fucking explanation is.
People rag on how stupid Lost Alpha's story is - but it's actually almost completely faithful to the original. It's the original that is DUMB AS ALL FUCK in the end.

It starts out so interesting with this cold-war body-horror vibe to it, but then it basically goes literal Evangelion and all of it in a awful poorly voiced and poorly written in-game-engine cutscene.

God knows I love Stalker games but the end SoC is fucking attrocious. Actually, pretty much everything after you shut down the Miracle Machine near Yantar is pretty terrible.
Pripyat map is at least pretty.

Nier Automata
Stalker

>>384482658
>AI
Yes it is. One moment you'll be standing 45 degrees in front of an enemy and the won't see shit. Other times you'll carefully sneak around pop your head in a window and have the guy in front of you 180 no scope you

>Enemies can see you
Cool. I have no problem with this. What I do have a problem with is when they're using the shotgun form Doom 1 to snipe me across the map with perfect aim while my shots turn into saw dust unless I am shoving the barrel right up their ass

>Respawn.
Perhaps your mod fixes it? IDK. Regardless, the fact that you leave the area for only a moment and shit's back is annoying as fuck and breaks any type of immersion the game had to offer. "Wow, I just spent 10 minutes clearing out the bandit camp! I feel proud. Oh wait, NVM. They'll respawn and make my entire progress moot."

>Only a few fetch quests
>Fetch quests facilitate that
???

>Linear
Compared any other open world game. Far Cry, RDR, Witcher 3, TES series, fucking even BOTW does it's job better at open ended decisions

>Bugs
Again, perhaps ZRP fixes bugs the best. IDK. But that does not solve every other issue the game has

Your counter arguments sound like someone arguing from nostalgia or someone try to be "Pro 1337 MLG"

>>384483575

>even when you use silenced weapons enemies will track you down with no problem

Only the Vintorez kinda works as silenced weapon. I think the problem is a fully silenced weapon would be real op and they didnt know how to balance it but then again, you can stab people in the face with your knife and nobody reacts.

I really liked the red forest and the scorcher complex actually (although the actual underground part to the scorcher was also just a corridor). Pripyat is cool too but by then you start to get bored with fighting the same groups of monolith over and over

>>384483691

My 550 hours in SoC are Completely different than anything about what you said for vanilla which I played for about 250 hours. no bug fixes either.

>>384486425
that's funny because in vanilla, the silenced makarov does more damage than the regular one, also more accurate.
