Why haven't you joined Duty?

>>387171320
Because I'm too scared to get past that controller in the sewers again, it was bad enough the first time

>>387171320
>not being a loner
I'll let those moralfags kill mutants for the next decade or two while I get artifacts and get mad russiandollars

im glad that i played SOC knowing about it literally NOTHING

>>387171320
Because I joined Freedom, which turned out to be a huge mistake pain in the ass because I had to fight an unskippable horde of bullshit every single time I needed to pass through Duty territory from then on. Goddamn was that tedious.

>join Freedom
>have to murder 30+ guys every time I have to pass through the Bar

no thanks

Because they won't let me into their base. I've saved the guys in Dark Valley, I helped them wipe out Freedom in Army Warehouses, I've helped them every chance I've gotten, and they still won't let me in.

I swear, if they don't let me in and sell me some mods for my gun, I'm gonna kill the whole lot of them.

Really boosts my psi

Are you even staker?

Is the final run to CNPP fucking awesome for anyone else?
>sprinting alongside the group of powerful Stalkers

>the sprint alongside the power plant as the sky turns blood fucking red and it looks like the gates of hell itself have opened
>seeing the Wish Granter in action
What a game.

You forgot

>Mercs kill they asses
>Duty sucks the dicks of the military
>like the bandits they block the road to the best parts of the zone
>always ready to backstab fellow stalkers

Sure, Freedom are a bunch of lazy sloths but at least they dont fuck with the rest.

DUDE

Yeah the finale of SoC is really, really strong, none of the other games have a final act like that.

>>387171320
because i killed everyone

>>387173262
>I helped them wipe out Freedom in Army Warehouses
That was a rogue group.
You can't expect the main branch to give a shit about what you did with them.

>>387174071
Too bad it turns to complete shit once you get inside the plant

>>387174071
In general I love the way SoC escalates. In most games its boring to be overpowered but being powerful by the end of SoC is fun because it feels earned. And I love how it balances the spooky, dark, oppressive atmosphere with big action moments like that, the escape from the Dark Valley after X-18, the military wrecking shit in Yantar after X-16, and the attack on the Brain Scorcher. I've never finished CoP because it felt really flat by comparison.

Well... I mean the CNPP is pretty much the single hardest level in the game

>>387174809
What mod is this?

>>387175189
DocterX Dynamic Faction Relations for Call of Chernobyl. It's recommended to get most of the guy's other mods because they all work in tandem.

>>387175364
Nice, I'll check it out.

Also that Vintorez model and scope is sweet.

It's actually an SR-3M with a silencer and 1P29 scope installed when I recorded that. I've since acquired a VSS though.

>>387171320
too busy driving cars into Whirligig anomalies

>>387175956
Huh, the model looks kind of like a VSS, though I guess maybe the similar bullet arc tricked me

>>387176156
The SR-3, AS Val, and VSS look relatively similar and are all chambered in 9x39 so it's pretty easy to mistake them by 1st person model and bullet arc alone.

CoP > SoC in that regard, I think it's a lot of fun Tbh

>>387174071
I actually dislike CNPP and most of Pripyat. I think the game is at its best with the slow-paced exploration and small scale shootings. I understand that for story reasons it wouldn't have made much sense but I thought the overall execution was lazy and rushed. It felt more like the same generic shooter everyone has played a thousand times instead of the game I had been playing until that point.

Inside the plant is even worse, very small level with like 30 enemies and barely any cover or alternative paths.

I think big "setpiece" anomalies are cool idea but it makes the zone feel too contained, and I don't like how you have to be right next to the artifact with a detector equipped for them to even appear. I'd prefer it if artifacts spawned out in the zone rarely and somewhat randomly in addition to appearing reliably in the big clusters (for that matter I'd prefer it if there were stray anomalies for those artifacts to be spawned by).

Because clear sky is better.

This system I really like, and I think the anomaly fields make a lot of sense. Though you CAN find artifacts outside huge anomaly fields as well.
