I'm happy that stalker is getting more and more popular over the years. I first played this game with my dad when I was pretty young. It's one of my favourite games of all time and I've been playing it alone for almost 6 years. Very cool ❤

There's a very active community going on onFacebook.
Damn son! I had finished HS and stepped into military service when STALKER came out! Still playing these bad boys from time to time, even after some 10k+ hours per GAME.
The big STALKER boom of 2008 was a sight to behold. Tons of big mods started pouring out, constant discussions of forums and boards 24/7.
@@GugureSux They say Stalker 2 will have mods. :)
I used to play this game in a very difficult period of my life, the menu theme alone is enough to make me cry from nostalgia, I still put the guitar songs in the background as white noise.
For such a cold, harsh and unforgiving game, it sure fills me with great warmth and nostalgia for simpler times, but I guess... such is life in the zone.
Are you Russian/Ukrainian by any chance? ^^
@@solokom nah man sorry
@@darnydeeds5729 I was just guessing, because Russians and Ukrainians have a tendency to enjoy the nostalgic, melancholic parts of life and art. Even the song they sing, instead of “happy birthday” to the children, is somewhat melancholic. It's from an old soviet series about a broken toy named Cheburashka. I think the gloomy atmosphere is an elemental reason for why stalker is so beloved.
There's nothing like the feeling of coming back to a campfire with your fellow stalkers after a long, hard day of surviving in the zone.
@@solokom I have ukranian ancestry my great grandfather faught in WW2 in the American Armed Service as a paratrooper, he was deployed behind enemy lines in Hungary and freed my great grand mother who happened to be half Hungarian and half Ukrainian
It’s been a hot minute the last time I saw someone play stalker without a ton of mods
You really can't have multiple mods on STALKER, but yeah the anomaly mod gets way too much attention 😢
@@eelyy212 the old oblivion lost mod was great back in the day,made the base game so much more replayable
@@YoJimBoHugabaJoe yep. It's tragic stalker mods not based on anomaly/COC literally get zero attention on TH-cam
So it took me 5 minutes to quit the game, open up the game files and start messing around with the weapon variables.. that iron sight zoom was just nightmare, and because GSC was so wonderful back then.. pretty much every single thing in the scripting files on that engine had detailed notation so it took literally 5 minutes just to kill the zoom and enjoy the game, then you know the rest of the week to start messing around with things like bouncing bullets LOL..
@@eelyy212to much atttention? you mean not enough attention
It feels weird having been a fan of the franchise since I was a child and only seeing it become popular in recent years.
Just shows that you were a child when these games came out, because they were a HUGE phenomena even back in the day. Some of us followed SoC's development for nearly half a decade, and by the summer 2008, when the game was patched and started getting big mods, it was already a huge hit. And don't get me started on those Ukrainian STALKER Festivals, merchandise, airsoft raid events, fanfics, the goddamn movie and TV series...
but alas, I guess even the late-00s is similar dark, lost history to some younger folks as the pre-2000s is to zoomers.
@@GugureSux Damn, way to be a buzzkill XD
@@GugureSux yeah the game is gaining popularity just now but in the west and far east.
To me is because modern AAA games are trash, good graphics but trash gameplay full of money grabbing casino bs.
It's because people don't know quality
The games of that era were something else. Assassin's creed, far cry 2, Crysis, Gta 4, COD 4, bioshock, need for speed, The elder scrolls 4. I wish I could go back man, those games had soul

Shadow of Chernobyl is one of two games that exist in a genre I usually despise, but somehow ended up being one of my favorite games of all time. The tone, atmosphere and world-building are phenominal!
@@shitfacejohnson4085 there's actually three, i only remember the third one it was called "call of prypyat"
@@user-je1oy4lk4n clear sky is the 2nd game but serves as a prequel to SoC
@@ElHanlo
clear sky plays that the exact same time as shadow of chernobyl actually.
the end of clear sky is you hunting down and trying to kill strelok who is on his way to dismantle the c-con on top of the npp.
Stalker is really an underrated franchise I recommend playing the 3 main games and then try the total conversions like anomaly or gamma
Gamma is a modpack of a mod , of a mod, of a mod of a game
Anomaly is the main go-to that i chose every time, as Gamma is, as shrump said, a modpack of a mod, of a mod of a mod for a game.
I would also suggest OGSR/OGSR Gunslinger, oblivion lost, Lost alpha directors cut, spatial anomaly, goldsphere if you're okay with saving often because of gamebreaking jank, wind of time(I still have to play that myself) and road to the north
gamma for me is too hardcore, I prefer anomaly
@@Voyager-sama It's not really that hardcore if you turn off the gamma economy, camp fire only saves and a couple more, i actually play this way myself since i don't like certain aspects of gamma but other mods adds to immersion and i dont need to download sperate mods since everything is in one and you can enable mods of disable to your liking
Prime example of why raytracing and all that shiny guff isn't worth snot if it's not on a good game. You gotta make a good game like this first and THEN add the shinies.
facts, a lot of games nowadays are easy to make w impressive graphics though its used to hide the fact the game is beyond terrible
The trilogy have been my favourite game series since they were released, and I still play them all these years later. 38 years old today ^_^. Playing a lot of Anomaly GAMMA at the moment, which I think also is a HUGE reason the games have been discovered by so many people over the last few years. Still! Anyone who enjoys Anomaly or GAMMA today owe it to themselves to at least play through the original trilogy at least once!
If for no other reason than to get the background and lore in which everything takes place. Also people who are expecting Anomaly/GAMMA gameplay from STALKER 2 are going to be disappointed. It'll most likely be more akin to the original trilogys gameplay and story progression (albeit more polished than the original trilogy), and I think people are setting themselves up to be disappointed if they expect something else entirely. This series has become legendary over the years, and I can't wait for STALKER 2 ^_^
Just don't keep your hopes up if you expect anhything close to Anomaly/GAMMA-standards. Because it won't be. Not until Anomaly/GAMMA 2 inevitably drops for STALKER 2.
original game is just so clanky and trash when it comes to the gameplay and mostly shooting :/ after gamma i would not recommend anyone to event touch original trilogy
@@zorgivanov8685 Like I said; gameplay aside, if people would like the story up until the Anomaly storylines it's absolutely worth it.
@@zorgivanov8685 its not thoough, its like rpg scaling. the pmm which can still hold its own and the sawn off which is good can last you awhile. when you get your first rifle its awesome, then the VSS which is amazing
Happy bday mate
@@JustinLT212 Huh? xD
Welcome to the Zone Stalker, always fun to see someone's first STALKER experience!
I'd watch the full playthrough.
Pro tip. You can also use your knife to smash open boxes for a different rewards.
Respect for starting with the vanilla games instead of modded instantly, people dont appreciate the games for what they are anymore
ahh...you always remember your first encounter with a controller
This game still looks amazing for 2007. Anyone wanting to play Shadow of Chernobyl and wants added difficulty/weapons/better stealth should play The L.U.R.K mod. Absolutely amazing changes without changing the story.
FUCK NO.
I can't believe that 4channer's piece of shit still is haunting the internet this day and age!
Oh man, i have not played lurk in years, so sad they abandoned it's development
This game and it's sequel, Call of Pripyat, have the best atmosphere I've ever been immersed in. It's such a mesmerizing universe, the origin, the anomalies, the creatures.
Very rarely am I uttering 'what even is that?' In a game more than the Stalker games. Entering some abandoned bunker and finding some strange construction or mutant thing.
I think Shadow of Chernobyl has a better story, but if you feel like a STALKER game with much more polish, Call of Pripyat is fantastic.
P.S. I'm so happy I found your channel a few months back, your commentary feels genuine and your varied game choices always leave me excited. Just wondering, do you often return to games you play on the channel in your own time?
hey thanks for the comment man! :) i need to check out the sequel!
i do go back and play some of them! but to be honest the more videos i make the harder it is to play all of these games to the finish. the last one i finished was Resident Evil 4
@@jayveeeee honestly dude this one is absolutely worth finishing stalker series maybe? 🙏
What about Clear Sky?
@@jayveeeee That makes sense! You do play quite an array of games, it's impossible to finish them all! I'd just hoped you continued with the ones you liked, sounds like you do, which is great!
@@htoosaw9012 Truth be told, I haven't played Clear Sky, but I haven't heard much good stuff about it, even in comparison to some of the jankier stuff in Chernobyl. If fans of Chernobyl are calling Clear Sky buggy and frustrating, you KNOW it's going to be REALLY buggy and frustrating.
I'm sure there's some good stuff in there, but Chernobyl was a challenge to continue sometimes, let alone the 'bad one' of the franchise, Clear Sky.
As a stalker fan, it was really fun and interesting to watch you play it for the first time :D
Finally someone is playing the original game not just Anomaly. Tip: Play on the highest difficulty to inflict more damage so the pistols doesn't feel like they are toy gun. Just play it on the highest difficulty. This is the way.
Also, play Anomaly.
This is not the case. PMm deals no damage on any difficulty. Just get better gun.
@@Supernautiloid play anomaly after the trilogy in my opinion anomaly has a different vision of stalker it’s a great mod but it can never beat the trilogy in my opinion and I really hate how the trilogy is over shadowed by a mod
@@aquaticnub1399 I would probably play other mods and standalone mods first
Anomaly/Gamma/EFP is great when you sadly run out of the prime meat content
And if you're mentally insane play OP2.2
The play length of a OP2.2 run is fucking multiple months
Higher difficulty does not make the player do more damage. That is a myth. There is nothing in the code of the game that makes you do more damage when playing at a higher difficulty. It only makes the enemies tougher and deal more damage.
I like your channel man
I just subscribed few days ago and I can't get enough... Something about these old games fell cozy and warm .... And the nostalgia 😢
Thanks and keep it up
Y'know, for the longest time I've just been feeling in n' out of games and you saying that you feel anxious, makes me feel happy because not a lot of games does that anymore. And I also played Stalker for the first time the other day and i felt the same too.
The best thing about Stalker is that humans shooting at you become the smallest threat and sometimes if someone starts shooting at you, you go "thank god it's just some dude and no mutant!"
As a fellow Ukrainian gamer, I approve. This brings me so much joy)
Please, continue ❤
P.S. Do not listen to the peeps who tell you to try mods at the very beginning. Classic trilogy is the way to go. And only once you embrace the series, then maybe try the mods to enrich the experience.
Peace ✌️
You aren't Ukrainian - you are Russian with your last name))) and you've just been propagandized to believe you're Ukrainian, but you're not. There's a reason why your government sends the Russian speaking population to die but not those from the West)))
I disagree. I think at least put on some gun mods. The OG gunplay is horrendous. Some of the most dogshit gun play ever created in any video game. Mods may at least mitigate that issue and give guns updated look/feel.
@@JustChill-zd4ib honestly i don't mind the gunplay, it makes encounters tense and motivates you to find better guns. i think the viper and akm/obokan are the first weapons that actually feel somewhat reliable and it doesn't take too long to get one of those 3.
bakhmut
The red barrel moment was too good, hope to see more of this!
I just finished this game about a month ago, having never played it before. I effing love this game. Just incredible.
I would recommend finishing the other 2 games and jump into either anomaly or gamma standalone mod pack if you like more sandbox type of game
Play some Modded Stalker it gonna blow your mind
Gamma is next Level modding
Anomaly fans on their way to never play the actual stalker games
@@matthewjones39False, that's not everyone. I played through all three before playing GAMMA. And I freaking love it.
One of the best games I ever played. I really enjoyed playing it a couple of years after launch. And I have always enjoyed revisiting Stalker. It never gets old. One of the truly great games of all time.
This game left quit the impression on me in 2007. The hobo phase was so tough I still remember the moment you finally got your first PSO-1 from enemies in the Wild Territory.
One needs to get the rapid-firing Akm from Strelok's hideout in Agroprom, which one can do LONG before The Wild Territory. I think the turning point is getting a Vintar sniper rifle in the Freedom base.
@@Torgo1969 You can get the VSS before you even get the quest for finding the documents
@@saunamajuri That's great! How and where does one do that? I replayed SoC a few months ago but didn't know that.
@@Torgo1969 You can hit the gate to Rostok open with your knife, then just run to the warehouses. You can get ammo for it by jumping onto the roof of the same building the VSS is in, and break some boxes that have like 120 rounds of SP5, and you can also get 300 rounds of SP6 for free in the dark valley, near the X18 entrance.

@@dimamar6 brothers... Right
The Ukrainian version of Fallout for real men.
After playing Metro 2033 and Last Light (the Redux bundle) and hearing about S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 being revived in 2018, I jumped onto the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series and I’m real glad that I have.
Metro Exodus was wonderful and I have no doubt S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 will also be wonderful too.
Awesome game. Sometimes a bit hard to decipher what you have to do, and the guns feel kinda... weak (though to help combat that, play on the hardest difficulty, that way you do more damage. Though obviously, enemies also do more damage, but even with that the guns still just feel kinda not impactful)
But the world design is amazing, especially the skybox is insane for 2007, and it's very unique as a game, something you don't really see nowadays. I am really really excited for STALKER 2. Especially since I've been to Pripyat and Chernobyl NPP, I can't wait to see it recreated in high definition.
It's why people recommend playing on Master, it makes guns far more powerful, although the same for the enemy.
STALKER games have this gear-based, pseudo-RPG like progression system.
The starting gear is THE shittiest bottom of the barrel stuff, while late-game gear is OP.
It's a very similar design as in Zelda:BotW; in both games, you iindeed CAN waltz all the way to the very finale of the game, but a huge majority of the newbies will get pulverized by the dangers long before they they reach the target. Hence exploration, salvaging gear and doing some missions become a form of training montage.
There's also the fact that NO weapon in STALKER is a hit-scan laser gun. ALL the projectiles are physics-controlled projectiles, with distinct travel times, trajectory, etc. Even ricocheting is coded into the game. Pistols and shotguns have a very tiny reach of ~25 meters, and have weak armor penetration stats, which again makes the early "hobo phase" extra challenging (and keeps players from steamrolling to the Chernobyl too early). Once you get a proper rifle, pop a scope on top, and maybe load it with AP rounds... plus learn the secrets of low-crouching... you will suddenly become the Demi God of the Zona itself.
to this day stalker series still has one of the best atmosphere of any rpg,i was blown away the first time i got to enjoy the series,highly recommend.
This game encouraged me to play on highest difficulty in games and i loved it
One big tip for the original games is to play them on master difficulty (I know this sounds like Im being an elitist) All it does is increase weapon damage for yourself and enemies. Kind of like a Glass cannon. It makes the game vastly easier as enemies die quicker but in turn you have to be a little more careful. Anyway, great to see you playing Stalker and enjoying it.
No, it's not. Your damage always the same and enemies are not bullet sponges on easy difficulty. This myth was disproven long time ago.
@@sabnock31 I disagree. You die much quicker on master and enemies die much faster. Therefore on master bullet damage is either increased or health is decreased. This was a recommendation for me from several veteran players when I was having trouble with my playthrough.
@@spectakil haha, you don't need to disagree with the game engine, it doesn't care about your opinion brother. this myth was created to haze and filter new players, it is a placebo.
more likely, master forced you to learn how the shooting worked unconsciously and so you got better at it. you took cover and played more defensively, so you did not suffer as much from movement accuracy bloom, and as such more of your shots actually hit the head. ironsights can mislead players into believing their shots are more accurate than they really are.
playing on master can be a good trial by fire for new players to get them to learn, but we should not mislead them even if unintentionally
@@wulfywulf7033 Hmm you have given me an idea. Thanks
this is a total fabrication and is proven by looking at master balancing.
Man, I love watching people's first forays into the zone. I was sure the controller was going to get you at the end there. Stalker is one of my favorite series. F5 + F7 are you friend. Or at least that's what I remember that's what quick save/quick load was.
This is one insta like video. Amazing seeing some traction on Stalker! Can't wait for Stalker 2 to be launched.
Mate this game when it came out was a brainwasher....insane masterpiece. And the fact that they were pulling out mods for a decade or so means a lot. You should try out the some of the modded versions, which included new maps, weapons and huge variety of things...
I would say that STALKER Call of Pripyat is more or less Ukrainian Fallout New Vegas. Short on shooting, lots of walking and some of dialogues and RPG like progression with places where you can find better gear and quests that sometimes can even have good setpieces, but many are just set in overworld. It's main issue IMO is the main quest that has very "No shit, Sherlock" twist that is both boring and underwhelming and ending that feels like it was added just to have an ending. In this regard Shadow of Chornobyl at least provides SOME intrigue and twist is at least fun, but game itself is much more linear.
Welcome Stalker! You handled that first bloodsucker encounter better than I ever did! Good Job!
I wish I could play this game for the first time again... I've never been as engulfed by a game's atmosphere as I was when I first played this. It truly felt like I was in their world battling mutants and bandits.
Playing this for the first time in the hardest difficulty really makes you appreciate how it took 2 days to get past the checkpoint to Garbage.
"Second game"
Man hes gonna flip, brother there's 2 more out already for you to try
8:05
That's so funny man cause I remember plying far cry 2 in 2008 and saying: this game reminds me of stalker 🤣😅
good old times.
thanks for the video 🙏
When you search bodies you will hear a noise and some purple stuff appear on the map, those are stashes of those corpses, mostly they are on the land and maybe on the buildings, placed to hidden spots, there will be items in them like ammo, armor, votka etc.
I love the stalker games. I personally find them to be far more immersive than even the newest metro games + it's an actual open world and less linear
I'm not sure why people see linear as a bad thing
@@zer0synd1cate I see them not bad, but a bit uninteractive, can't think of a better word for it. In linear games you play a story and do what this story tells you to do, where in open world games you can create your own story.
Take Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series for example. In Metro you play as Artyom and that's it. Even endings are just for show, there is only two endings and only one canon ending in the first game.
And now let's see what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has. You can run around the world, completing side and radiant quests, collect artifacts, sell loot, buy gear, venture into the depths of the Zone all game and never touch on the main quest. In the first game you region locked only up to Yantar and in CoP only Pripyat is locked behind main quest. That's why Clear Sky was hated, because it was more linear.
I'm not saying linear games are bad, they just offer less. If linear game has good story it's still just one story. Open world are also not by default good. If OW game sucks in story, it can deliver on environment. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games never had an amazing stores, but side quests and environment pulled it out and with mods it could be improved even further.
Also, on open world games are usually a lot of mods to tune the game for your liking.
@@sabnock31 the best part about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is that the world does not need you. You can sit and watch everything happen around you and it just...continues. The entire game doesn't revolve solely around you, only the story. Metro doesn't have that. Very few games do, to be honest.
@@Vynirian yup, the A-Life system is just something else. You can literally track how stalkers explore, collect artifacts, fight monsters and bandits all around the map. Like in Anomaly, if you take a quest from non stationary NPC, you can find him in another location.
If you believe stories, the original plan was that stalkers could finish your quests for you, if you weren't fast enough, resulting in some random legend rank stalker literally finishing main quest and soft locking you. And in those stories developers was made to cut that part, because it wouldn't be fun to play such a game.
STALKER is not open world.
one of the best games ever.
Man. The atmosphere is fucking amazing in some of the levels that does suspense justice. Also once you get use to the mechanics, try turning up the difficulty if you want unforgiving.
Your reactions to all whats happening in game made me smile - especially when You found double-barell xD. I know this game like my own pocket, yet still someone out there don't know this masterpiece, that's bulding. You must play all 3 games (You can skip Clear Sky xD - but it's only my opinion). Good luck, Stalker!
i want him to go into the labs , always exiting to see a rookie go in there for the first time
As a complete noob, the first lab went good. The second lab omg! Did not account for the lack of ammo drops and those mutants guzzle ammo. I also freaked out when the timer popped up and sprinted past all the levers. I agree with you, we need more noob blind plays cause mine would have been hilarious to watch.
@@garretts.2003 bro , on god , the second lab had me screaming like a bitch, especially when the snorkers jumpscare you out of nowhere
This game is so creepy, I played it a thousand times and it still gives me the chills. The atmosphere in this game is something else.
I’d really really like to see a series of this
My first experience with stalker was gamma. Interesting seeing all these familiar places but in their original form.
Congraz, mate. You done goofed, big time.
ALWAYS play the real deal vanilla games first. Not some mega modpack.
People keep recommending massive overhaul modpacks, when Shadow of Chernobyl on it's own is fantastic and the best Stalker experience
damn I just got into this game this week lol, nice seeing you play it
I grew up on the three Stalker games, while they are janky AF there really wasn't anything quite like it at the time.
The gameplay of the mod packs Gamma and EFP may not be for everyone, but it is crazy how good modders have been able to make it look and play. Drewski has some good showcases if anyone is interested.
Gamma is God tier Stalker.
@@Supernautiloid meh, Gammas a little overrated, more tedious than enjoyable. Prefer EFP over it I think.
@@nerfgunner2327 gamma and anomaly overrated as f
@@agall664 I mean, Gamma is a mod pack FOR anomaly. They arent separate games or anything. I think anomaly is just getting the love cus no new player wants to go back and play the old clunky games.
@@nerfgunner2327 honestly i did, i only slapped the gunslinger mod on CoP because the gunplay is awful at times, had much fun with it
Sometimes I played these masterpieces just for see this perfect atmosphere of abandoned and familiar Zone.
I was in Chornobyl Zone 4 times and it was amazing. Every trip was different, and brought loads of thoughts and ideas. Just unforgettable place.
Shadow of Chornobyl is so good, but my choice - Call of Pripyat. More detailed characters and questlines, more real zone locations and points of interest 😮
Good hunting, Stalker ☢️
YES! i love when someone uploads stalker videos
I remember my first day in the zone. The sky blended in with the foliage of the trees *perfectly*
It's kicking my @$$ but Stalker Anomaly is something you can't experience anywhere else.
Yes you can. In countless other STALKER mods that came out years before the shitty Analmeme came out. And you absolutely should never ever start with those mega mods, period.
do not touch anomaly or gamma
This game is the best one i've ever played, glad u enjoy it.
i’ve been playing it for a bit now like a week and i love it
If you like the old stalker games, you have to try playing the modded versions like gamma. It is such a unique experience playing the modded versions. Some mod packs add so much depth and complexity that the old stalker games just couldn’t accomplish back then.
This game is actually underrated
It underrated in English speaking world. In Ukraine and post-soviet countries it’s an icon
It's completely and properly rated... It's massively popular in many circles.
not really. typical underrated comment
@El Cactuar you've seen anomaly not the original trilogy
@@saddamhussein2 okay that's true but you can't say stalker is underrated
You should check those purple triangles they're stashes with some stuff.
And in some places not marked as stashes lies quite useful staff. For example in starter novice village under the roof of left corner house lies the merc suite.
It's a strange feeling watching someone play a game they've just discovered that I've been playing for the past 15 years. Yeah, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is most definitely my favorite series.
Did you pick up artifacts, by the way? Those glowy, bouncing things on the ground? I was mostly listening to the video so I didn't see if you had any in your inventory or equipped. In case you didn't know, those blobs are very valuable and they can give you considerable boosts to your stats. Passive health regen, greater resistance to mutant hits or bullet impacts, resistance to anomalous effects and more carry weight.
i found some yes! but i didn’t know i could equip them and ended up selling them 😅 but now i know!! :)
@@jayveeeee A typical beginner's mistake😂😂
Have you tried the lesser known Chernobylite? It’s has the best fully rendered map of Chernobyl ever created and some pretty interesting mechanics.
no but i just looked at the steam page and it looks sick! will check it out :)
This game is AWESOME! It might be old, but it is still one of the best
I remember when I was about 10 years old and my dad brought home the disk with this game, it was so much fun to play it
I always liked the idea of the stalker world but the mod call of Chernobyl quite literally brings all the games together in an awesome open what
Yeah it's nice
No, it does not. It is literally nothing more than yet another sandbox-freeroam mod , that slaps in all the MAPS from the series, but has NO story. It's one of the most boring STALKER mods I've played, and anyone starting with that CoC/Analmeme/Gamma shit is shooting himself to the foot.
@@GugureSux And even when it implements some kind of story (Anomaly) it's wattpad tier.
@@GugureSux real bro i can relate. People just way too obsessed with these mods having those same old drx questlines doing them 0ver and over again until they dont get bored to death.
@@GugureSux most stalker fans are obsessed with the game so they find it fun
Legit the first game I’ve ever seen have some realistic food animations not bad for a 16 year old game
Stalker has food animations?
Not original game. Only mods have food animations
I’m just starting to play it myself, I love it
I just love this franchise
the game was pretty janky (I mean, it's the game that made people know the terms of "Eurojank" lol) but it's honestly a charm to me. the texture of the ground and the whole map, the model, the ui, it's was unique enough to put me into it's depressing european world theme. a lot of the places in this game really makes me feels unnerving, to see what once a place where society exists, now it's just an empty ruin of a city. I also really love the lore of this series, a lot of mysterious supernatural anomaly shit that happen in this place, it's an incredible world to learn about. It's gameplay were very similar to the 3d Fallout games imo, i love a lot of scenery, background & the map of this game, it's depressingly gorgeous.
There's actually quite a bit of subtle stuff they were doing back then with lighting and shadow that games today even try to chintz around with half ass implementaions. For instance, watch lightning strikes in Stalker during storm weathers and notice how they cast shadows correctly. Compare that to dozens of other generic AAA stuff out there that graphically looks nice but is mostly facade. Not to mention the while A-life thing with online and offline AI movements between different areas at all times.
Ah yes, I still remember like it was yesterday, I was jaw-dropping at every aspects of this game.
I remember playing this, Flatout 2, Dynasty Warrior 4 hyper on my cousin PC all the time 1 summer while my home getting rebuilt.
"The Second Game", oh boy, he doesn't know about Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat yet.
"With the second game coming out" 😂 It's titled Stalker 2, but it's the 4th game.
Finally, jayvee joined the club
I looked forward to this so much back in the day I put it on hardest difficulty so I would have the a couple of shots kill you experience. That first bandit mission took me ages and many deaths but once I got through it I had learned a lot fast. Game just dripped atmosphere and the effects were great on anomalies and weather if you had a PC that could play on max quality.
Finally someone playing the true stalker experience, im tired of seeing that modded crap anomaly everywhere
Amen brother.
If you started with big mods, you done goofed.
If you started with shit like Anomaly or Gamma... you done fucked up, big time.
If you want to play STALKER I recommend either Anomaly or GAMMA modpacks. You would not believe how good this game looks and plays after a team of deovted modders reverse engineered and redeveloped the engine over the span of 10 years.
Yeah but it's not the same story
No, wouldn't suggest those for anyone who hasn't played STALKER extensively as they will give very different impression for what STALKER is, or should be.
@@regular4634 not everything is about the story, Gamma constantly gets updates, and is a great way to get ppl into the world with the intense atmosphere it has, i started with anomaly them bought the trilogy later on.
@@mummola2363 they'll get a better impression than the original games ever did. Once you get sucked into the game you can then play the originals after.
If you like tactical looter shooters, anomaly all the way ^^ it’s like fallout for grown ups
Please make a part 2 we need it 😁😁
i remember when i play that and almost shit in my pants when mind controller pops out of nowhere and brain scorcher making scary door sounds. good old days
You should play the modded version of this stalker anomaly it's a combo of all 3 games.
It's not the same, it doesn't have the same story of neither of those
@@regular4634 really oh then i've to play this
It's not a combo of 3 games, it's a sandbox free roam mod, there isn't a real story in Anomaly and that's the point, the point of Anomaly is to play as a random stalker in the zone and do what you want and go where you want, that's not what the original games are about.
@@Yuyam12 I mean yes, on one hand that isn't what the OG games are about, but on the other hand that's what it's always been about: the zone.
No, it is not .Stop with that idiotic meme, you zoomer.
CoC / Analmeme / GAMMA are just empty SANDBOX-freeroam mods, with NO STORY. They do not "combine all 3 games", they just throw in the MAPS of the 3 games, but gut all the soul out of them. All while turning the whole thing into a shitty Tarkov-lite.
Analmeme is just SHIT, and anyone STARTING off with said garbage is instantly RUINING the whole STALKER experience.
Play the official GAMES first. Leave huge megamods for LATER.
Странно, что тут нет русских комментариев. Ни разу не видел сталкер на английском. Звучит странно. Ещё страннее то, что половина фраз всё равно на русском.
Surprised there is no russian comments. I`ve never seen stalker in english before and it sounds strange. Half of phrases in russian mixed up with english ones is even more strange
Haha dude I cracked when you learned that you have to save on every corner u clear. Welcome to the zone, Stalker!
I feel the same way with metro. I've been late to the party with that series and now its one of my favourite games. I never played first person games but really enjoyed metro. I've not played stalker either so I'm probably still missing out🤔
You are missing out. Metro was essentially a super, super streamlined, casualized "console STALKER" knockoff. They are even based on the same Soviet era books and a movie.
While at it, do yourself a favor and check out the original Half-Life games, original DooM games, FEAR and Deep Rock Galactic.
@@GugureSux sounds good my friend, I will have a look💯👍
Try Stalker Gamma for an incredible experience that is up to date with the year we are in, and is constantly updated, with better mechanics and balancing than most games these days
That's like recommending a person new to fallout to start with fallout 4 with 300 different mods installed, it's a totally different experience.
@@Yuyam12 amen to that
@@Yuyam12 gosh the amount of gatekeeping in this community is annoying, let ppl enjoy the game the way they want, i started with anomaly modded and otherwise i would never have bough the OG games, you play GAMMA for the up to date design , better graphics, mechanics, not to understand the fucking story.
@@LeMrAlpaca the thing is GAMMA isn't even close to a real STALKER experience, if anything really STALKER is a bit more casual, like the fact that you can't buy guns or armor is already wrong let alone the repair and crafting mechanism. and as you see in the video mutants aren't as much of a threat except the special ones (there is a part where he get mauled a pack of maybe 7 dogs but didn't lose half his health)
atleast recommend people to play anomaly before gamma because the order it was meant to be played is:
OG Trilogy -> Anomaly -> GAMMA
@@LeMrAlpaca It's really annoying when you're a fan of a game for so long and the suddenly a bunch of new "fans" come in and constantly shit on the games you know and love and tell other newcomers to avoid them like the plague because they're "outdated" "janky" and "unplayable". It's like if disney Star Wars fans started hating on the OG movies and telling people not to watch them and instead watch the disney stuff.
you should play the 3 games and then try GAMMA
If you have a vr headset, "Into the Radius" was very heavily inspired by this. Definitely worth checking out
Into the Radius is awesome, I can't recommend it enough.
I played all 3 in 2010. Then 6 years later some modded stalker. Then 2018-19 some anomaly and few days ago started Gamma. It's like playing a new game with few old stuff and im having fun
Normally, the game is very hard. Idk how you managed to get an easy start xD
Kinda bummed that you didn't really encountered any anomalies (wierd things in the world that around 95% of the time one-shot you). Or any chimera. Or as I like to call them "jumpscare assholes" ^^
Chimeras arent actually in the vanilla game of soc and clear sky they are only in cop
@@saddamhussein2 u know, he only played anomaly
Thanks for confirming two things:
1. You've never played the vanilla games. Shame on you.
2. He literally nearly stepped into an anomaly after the Car Park. Again, see part 1.
Go play SoC, CS and CoP. Now.
Слава Україні 🇺🇦
I just finished replaying SoC once again. Like visiting an old friend.
