Stalker is responsible for my brief panic whenever i hear a flock of crows fly away 😅😂 Nothing like being in the truck cemetery and hearing those crows

I've started playing gamma 3 days ago, going completely blind into the series except for a few familiar mutants, like the flesh and the dogs. But the thrill of discovering NEW enemies and finding out about new mechanics is unreal. A situation I've been in it: Today I experienced my first psy-storm and immediately as soon as the crows alerted me I thought it was an emission until I heard the sirens. My stomach dropped. And at the time I was near a "Defend Rostok" mission. So I am there hiding in a radioactive warehouse near the objective and suddently I see "Unknown enemy" on my PDA getting closer to my location. I died from radiation as I was too afraid to investigate.

Because you feel like the BATS

This is an incredible mod, granted it has it's quirks, such as the invisible barriers blocking me from exploring the map and the steep learning curve with a very shallow tutorial, yet it is an awarding experience and the ability to customize gameplay elements is very nice. While I have heard of Stalker before, I never played it until I stumbled upon this mod and the high praise for it, and from what I understand this mod takes the gameplay to a whole different level. I don't know about you but for some reason I get Operation: Flashpoint vibes while playing this game...

Just started playing this. It is Great.

Fun Fact: Roadside picnic takes place in Ontario, Canada.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. isn't a post-apocaliptic game. The Chernobyl disaster didn't wipe out mankind.

I love the original trilogy of games but I agree that Anomaly and especially GAMMA is just such a great experience. It is my comfort game. The game I go to when I do not want to play anything; the game I go to when I have been working a ton and I finally get some late night time to myself and I want to get away. I come back to it constantly because the replay value and immersion are like nothing else; all of the little flaws virtually melt away once you get hooked in. Next thing you know; there is a psy-storm outside, you're low on food, health and ammo, and night is swiftly approaching. Your anxiety peaks and the adrenaline flows when you get ambushed and the sense of relief when you finally reach your hideout is surreal. I can never explain it to my friends, it really is something you just need to experience

i can imagine stalker 2 flopping like kerbal space program 2 xD ppl will expect a lot and will be delivered something like a metro

The most intense experience I had was in Gamma. I ran with the mercs and Dushman gave me a task to get rid of a duty stalker in Rostok. Raiding the duty base alone at night with a terrible MP5 and being surrounded by hostiles that were bullet sponges at the bar was the most heart-racing video game experience.

I believe he is THE Batman as well

before I even start the video, I want to say my personal reason why. Anomaly doesnt feel half as alive as the OG trilogy. Mutants will infight and sometimes even run away from you, I've seen blind dogs drag off and eat corpses multiple times, you run into robberies (scripted events but still) and there can be full on battles happening in front of you. Feeling like you're part of a world means having things happen AROUND you, sometimes without you even knowing or them caring you exist, Anomaly just has mutants go on sight for anything that's not a mutant.

BRO

Not EVERYTHING in a game needs a drawn out animation...

3:10 I recognize that soundtrack anywhere. SCP Overlord. "Woods". Hell of a good soundtrack.

I absolutely LOVE and adore that you also play without HUD. no minimap and ocasionally turning health on to see the condition. its absolutely different experience. i also recommend "Artyoms Gas mask breathing sound (with 20% volume)) addon, so you can hear how exhausted your character is after running and sprinting certain distance, so you get an idea how much stamina you have left. small thing but it adds tons of immersion. trust me get it

Damn bro why you gotta call me out as the moron who went in guns blazing and shot an old lady (ive never played the game) Great video, keep it up bro Edit: bro whens the next upload dropping lmao

Its immersion really is next level. You think about how to go about thinks just like in real life, it doesn't feel gamey and contrived. It is a great experience, especially when high af 😅 #freedom

Yeah i absolutely hate how everything call themselves "survival" game nowaday, right now i can pull up Steam Survival tag and see stupid games like Naraka,PUGB,Ghost Recon......calling themselves "survival game"

Two sides of a coin. Stalker = Good story related to reality tomfuckery, doo doo gameplay. Anomaly/GAMMA = Nonexistent story, realism gameplay at it's finest. Some only consider one side or the other to be Stalker, don't be that guy. Ignore the ramblings of the Monolith. Consider a game with both.

Anomaly has artificial difficulty.

nothing gives me the chills more than a fkn bloodsucker at night in this game... even at day... those things are the bane of my existance

I played lot horror games but only in stalker I try find place for sleep when nights coming and u forgot one thing carry space in other games for example at fallout u can carry guns for whole division at stalker u take little more and when lots mutans come rip coz stamina , energi drink sometimes more important then healing items.And ofc Im always playing hardest diff and campfire save every 20+ minutes , minimal or harder settings,,, and best is if its pure night and u dont have any matches ,just matches little box what can be diffent bettwen death or live, soz for my ensligh

Because they arent STALKER lmao

survival means you have ti use items found or foraged to prolong your life. pretty simple really

hearing myself try to say "whale oil" three times in a row is too damn funny

15:00 Song ?

In my country there several Stalker airsoft event, mostly lasts for a week or so, you get inside a abandoned soviet-era military base (used for solider training most of the time) and play as a stalker with all the factions and things like that. Interesting and very very immersive experience, if the event planned and done correctly. Most of the time it is!

Currently at 59K views, thank you so much.

"Preventing radiation poisoning by downing vodka... All of it makes sense"

Thats the best signalis thumbnail and video i ever seen, OMG I LOVE IT

Try out Stalker anomaly EFP (escape from pripyat) basically and addition to stalker anomaly thats not that big and makes the game very much like tarkov, focusing on gunplay and somewhat survival its really a fun ride

Keen for stalker two. Though. I wouldnt mind a mode after the fact. Non cannon free roam just so I can see how badly I've fucked the place up with my room temperature intelligence.

Am I the only one here that thinks the Mr Freeze boss is overrated? The boss is all substance, no style. Wow, you need to find different approaches to defeat the boss every single time. How exciting, especially for replayability when you know exactly what to do, and it will NEVER fail. Even Mr Freeze and Batman made a remark to make fun of how formulaic the boss "fight" is. Deathstroke boss in Arkham Origins is so much better. It is similar to Mr Freeze where the same trick won't work twice in a row, but the game does not feel the need to tell that to your face. Not to mention, it's engaging and full of style, and it's an actual FIGHT.

Because nothing is real about it, everything is taken to a limit where has nothing with reality, there is noting survival about it. The originals nail it, batter iven tho more simple up least the artefacts make sense. There is no balance in Anomaly or gamma. You telling me after shoting 2 clips with a AK, witch is a irl weapon with the lowest mentenance, in stalker i gotta compleatly change the barrel when i could just brush it and move on ....yea lots o rality😂😂😂 internet and mods of anomaly got you fulled, but enjoy.

Been playing STALKER since 2008, awesome seeing such a strong fanbase, also, really well made video with so far the best naration I came across.

Stalker always is this series i could only describe as "Leave and Come Back Later" I always uninstall and after a couple of weeks I come back as a fresh new rookie in the rookie village I can't really describe it perfectly but thats how i view stalker anomaly

I know why. Its the only STALKER mods that didnt need nasa pc. Somewhat its playable with lov spec pc and doesnt look that good but its ok

The ability to control your team reminds me of clone (republic?) comando, a game where you play as boss a clone trooper comando who leads a team, also gud vid good sir. Also is the game only on steam or anything else?

Upload But Again

only a month late to this upload🗿

is that gunslinger or arsenal overhaul when you showed COP

If anybody want to get the absolute maximum experience from the stalker anomaly, i highly recommend playing it in permadeath mode. While it can look hard and annoying from outside, it's THE stalker experience once you get a hang on the game. I can't describe how immersive and intense it feels to just walk on the game's locations, knowing that anything can kill you if you're not careful, it's an experience almost no other game can give you. Permadeath Anomaly teaches you to actually use your brain in all engagements, it teaches you that running away is not only not bad or cowardly but is actually the vest way to survive, it teaches you to very carefully manage the risks, and in general makes you value your life in game so much more. I tried that once and i can't play stalker in not permadeath mode at all since that moment. If you didn't try yet - try it, it's something that's worth experiencing in game, i do believe thst this is how stalker games actually should have been played all along, it just feels right. Edit: i forgot go mention one crucial thing. The fear that you experience in stalker in genetal, and especially in permadeath playthrough - it's not tge fear of something supernatural, something that you don't know anything about, or what will it can do to you. You know exactly what zone's spawns will do to you, you fear sonething like a mutant in the same way as ebeny stalkers (at least tgey are far closer to each other than you could imagine). Tge fear you experience is tye fear for your life, it makes the game much more humane and more relatable than sometjing like Alien or Outlast horror games, it makes it more real, despite still being cleaely fictional.

17:58 He was a good stalker!!

12 year old me reading the manga for the first time let's that day I turned into a man 7 years later and I've read the entire manga it is peak fiction it's so hard to explain

praise the monolith!

I find gamma to be overtuned. luckily, stalker 2 won't be anywhere near that. Good riddance

I've always seen the Zone as a Silent Hill you woudn't want to escape from. Death is your only true friend here. Welcome home.
