reworked areas and new story is what i want in stalker mods because the reason i dont play stalker anymore is because i seen everything and went through all the maps so many times that its boring now.
Dude, thanks for showing it! It was definitely a surprising experience. I think even Custer might make a video too, and I saw Klean stream it. It might blow up!
I've been playing this game the whole afternoon and holy crap is it good. I love the way the story progresses and you don't just immediately jump into the next areas. Each area has it's own set of quests and events that work really well together. The cutscenes and basically just every quest I've done sofar just feels like an actual experience instead of just - Go to place, kill this, pick up this etc. Each quest has a flow to it and progressing and getting a new gun or making money feels great. The new landscape and soundscape is super immersive and the gunplay is really satisfying, like REALLY satisfying. For example guns feel like you would expect them to. Pistols are weak but if you use them right can help you in a pinch. Shotguns feel powerful and can launch a gopnik 😂. Rifles feel like assoult weapons and omg the snipers just plant dudes. There is also a good balance in the economy like the amount of money you make compared to how much ammo you can buy with it all just works. The interface is simple and easy to use and I really dont mind not having a PDA style menu. I also love that your personal stashes are synced, it really makes it so much easier to dump loot unlike in anomaly where I'd have to walk far to my main stash to offload stuff I want to keep. I really found my new daily game. I just can't believe this game is free, its much better than most AAA games
I didn't even know the stashes were linked. That's awesome! Also I want to use the sentence Launch a gopnik in real life now. Glad you enjoyed the video, and glad you are enjoying the mod as well.
Unfortunately I still can’t download the mod because the download quota was reached or whatever it was. Hopefully it’ll be my gaming Christmas present and work tomorrow!
Absolutely stellar mod! Wish the mod didn't change the inventory ui into a modern mess that cuts out the convenience of being able to at least see half of what's going on around you when you have it open.
You're fine, dont worry. I believe I said it in the video around 2:09. But just to clarify, download the files into a folder and drive of your choosing, and make sure both the exe file and bin files are in that folder. Click on the exe, and it should install from there.
I honestly had some fun with this for the first 30 hours on the hardest difficulty... But I absolutely hated the railroading. It wouldn't let me outright kill the Bandit Leader, even though I know by that point that I can solo the base with skill and my trusty shotgun alone. A fact that would soon be proven when I returned to Dark Valley and their essential flags were turned off. You're scripted to be knocked out constantly even when you're in a fully upgraded exosuit up against Bandits in trenchcoats and just old AK-74s. And you're forced to make stupid rookie Stalker mistakes even though you're a seasoned Stalker. Enjoyment gradually became dissatisfaction as I just wanted it to stop. Then I realized that they made this like a modern Bethesda game... It did get me to try Radiophobia 3 though. It may still be Shadow of Chernobyl, but THAT is a true Stalker experience.
@@bluetherobot I checked the Epic Games Store in Stalker 2 and has 150GB (one-hundred and fifty gigabytes) of content which is overkill and most amount memory consuming from Unreal Engine 5.3.2 as this is the latest version of UE 5.
This is a weird error. My game won't start at all, even though I disabled my virus protector. tried multiple times, playing sound in the background, but nothing works. just keeps saying openal can't create Even got the game updated
Theres a lot of other really cool story mods, but those are more janky and, i think, most of them are missing english translation. Anyways, check for Spatial Anomaly, Winds of Time and. i guess, Return to Zone (but i dont sure if the last one has any translations).
@@SpikeVike27 GoldSphere is also a good one to check out very unique story/atmosphere as it is based around the early years of the zone before it was filled with humans and just as stalkers were becoming a thing it also has a full human made translation.
The mod looks cool from what I can see here, but the thing that really ruins it for me are the playdough hands, I wonder if there's an addon that changes that, or if they will change them in the future, the hands just look so bad they'd take away from the immersion pretty badly.
Hi just wana ask if somebody could help me i try download the files from google driver but it says the file memory is over check memory and i cant download it some help ?
I have a problem with this mod and need help. When I trye to leave the cordon map despite finishing all quests from Sidorovich I get the massage the the PASSAGE IS BLOCKED. What should I do?
I'm not sure since I'm not one of the mod developers, and since this is brand new, not a lot of fixes have shown up. Did you download the latest patch fixes?
Check your current "story quest" objective. This mod is Chapter based rather than open-world, so game wouldnt let you to travel next loaction until story lets you. Also, there's initially only one passage to Garbage, the central one, west passage would be unlocked later from Garbage. Agroprom and Dark Valley are chapters 3-4 i think and Swamps aren't in the mod
Can you dodge pseudogiant pseudostomps like you can in ShoC? Can you aim any and/or all types of grenade launchers? Are there super long-jumping "man-eating" snorks? Is there a debug mode or spawn menu (great for creating Zone Sportsmanship Challenges)? Did they overdo it with Wick flick reload animations and/or the Center Axis Relock shooting technique (aka "the Wick tilt")? Do any of the reload animations depict an "emergency" reload in place of a "tactical" reload? Are there functional vehicles? And is there a gameplay mode that lets you play as a fleshy piggy fleshpig that can smell with its eyeballs a go go?! 🙃
I wish. But not sure, due to not knowing more about Gunslinger. I believe it's based off Call of Pripyat weapons, so AK-12 was not originally in that game.
That's what I figured. It seems reminiscent to ABR Mod for CoP. I'm probably going to download it either way, I just love BaS's ak12 model@@bluetherobot
Honestly it's not bad until you get to the point where you get knocked out almost every few seconds because the story writers suck ass at making a decent story. Seriously it got annoying at one point where I was seriously thinking about dropping the game.
reinstalling openal doesn't workThat's been said for years, even after installing it with the normal, fresh stalker games. I even have the regular cop, and it won't work with certain mods; it will give that sound error,like remake the highest former hd mod doesnt work on win 10 for me with cop/yet realism mod works still cant play this even after 6 months of commenting on this page how i couldn't run this version
Depends on personal taste. I see it like this. Gamma is for hardcore survival, EFP for guns and firefights, and True Stalker for a more old school updated feel
Yes: That looks much better and I Have all of the Stalker series games, just waiting on 2 as many are.🤫👍 Edit .. and this 77 year OldGamer just sub to your channel, have a good one.
@@bluetherobot okay i watched it now. BRUH my GPU rx590 needs to be undervoltet... or better i did took now 40% of the power away! its a bit laggy but atleast the GPU is quiet. normally it sounds like an jet... dumb AMD cards
i think its the best stalker lot of people say losyt alpha and gamma but to be honest they felt disjointed and a mess but this is something new and i think is better then the orginanl shadow of chernobyl and is definetly the best mod of stalker ive played and ive played them all it has annoyances like all the stalker games and you die a lot in this game so im not sure if it makes a difference what difficulty you play at but its alright and a solid 7/10
@@bluetherobot hmmm I think it still needs work to finish it few things that are still out of synch like the one shit deaths got me plenty of times that has don't even see them just see a red flash and ya dead and a few other issues but that's just polish and tweaking to solve them but other than that it's good and like I say it's best stalker mod I've played and it's good
Spoiler!!! This Mod is really good but the Story is pretty meh, especially when you switch characters and see axe dead. They tried to make a modern take on the Stalker formula with cutscenes and all that but it pretty much boils down to. Getting knocked out to progress the story, useless cutscenes that have no sense and the faction that never gets explained with an antagonist that has plot armor and an useless ending. Still would recommend it to hard boiled stalker fans
Idk, when that plot twist happened, I was sorta attached. When I found the stash, I was like why is this all here? Then I saw his body. It was a good time so far.
Honestly, one of the most boring mods I've ever played. Even the OP 2.1 (United Pack 2.1) is way better in terms of quests and gameplay (at least before all that invisible stash crap starts). And that is not a particularly high bar. NLC-7, Dead air, Anomaly, Lost Alpha, and many other mods offer better content, and much more of it. I guess, this is what happens when a blogger decides, that he can be a good screenwriter and a voice actor, while being under the influence of the Game of Thrones (I'm not kidding, he said it himself). Let's hope, that a more talented modder will put all these reworked game levels to good use.
It was interesting and challenging at first, but numerous cut-scenes, along with all the running around, got tiresome. It needed fast-travel and a less linear more 'stalker-ish' gameplay.
It's a story mod. Handcrafted quests, fully fledged characthers, scripted events etc. GAMMA is an open world milsim oriented sandbox, True Stalker is way closer to original Trilogy (a mix of SoC and CoP imo)
The chapters 3 and 4 really gives this game a disrespect (lots of bullshit and unfun shit, but chapter 5 is very good), the rest is good, the gameplay, the progression, is good old stalker but poliched
Sometimes I think the Google drive gets to many downloads, so just give it another try. Also, maybe try another browser. If not, I'm gonna see if I can have a way to get others to download somewhere else.
true.. stalker lol i could not get into this the first quest is a slog and annoying no i do not want to spend an hour looking for artifacts i ended up getting to the third artifact and quit i just cant man and ive played a lot of stalker
reworked areas and new story is what i want in stalker mods because the reason i dont play stalker anymore is because i seen everything and went through all the maps so many times that its boring now.
then try stalker story mods
they have those with anomoly
Dude, this is right up your alley then!
@@samargrewal929 i have played many but after years the old maps are just too well known to me.
@@dre691 apart from medow not really to my knowledge. and other maps are just like in in og games.

Had a great Christmas. Hope you had a great one as well.

my beat up laptop trying to run it: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
is it standalone mod? or do i have to install cop first?
Standalone. Just have to install this.
@@bluetherobot thxx for reply
i might sound stupid but how do u actually install the thing
You're fine, dont worry. I believe I said it in the video around 2:09. But just to clarify, download the files into a folder and drive of your choosing, and make sure both the exe file and bin files are in that folder. Click on the exe, and it should install from there.
just finished stalker with vorpx VR, time to do it again i guess :)
I'm sorry, you said VR?
ye with vorpx u can play games with a 3D vision, but it still plays with keyboard and mouse.@@bluetherobot
I honestly had some fun with this for the first 30 hours on the hardest difficulty... But I absolutely hated the railroading.
It wouldn't let me outright kill the Bandit Leader, even though I know by that point that I can solo the base with skill and my trusty shotgun alone. A fact that would soon be proven when I returned to Dark Valley and their essential flags were turned off.
You're scripted to be knocked out constantly even when you're in a fully upgraded exosuit up against Bandits in trenchcoats and just old AK-74s.
And you're forced to make stupid rookie Stalker mistakes even though you're a seasoned Stalker.
Enjoyment gradually became dissatisfaction as I just wanted it to stop. Then I realized that they made this like a modern Bethesda game...
It did get me to try Radiophobia 3 though. It may still be Shadow of Chernobyl, but THAT is a true Stalker experience.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. Now I'm loving Radiophobia
Release date for Stalker 2 Heart of Chernobyl is September 5th, 2024. 8 more months until release date 😢
I know. Sad
@@bluetherobot I checked the Epic Games Store in Stalker 2 and has 150GB (one-hundred and fifty gigabytes) of content which is overkill and most amount memory consuming from Unreal Engine 5.3.2 as this is the latest version of UE 5.

I cant wait till Stalker 2 mods start to come out.
This is a weird error. My game won't start at all, even though I disabled my virus protector.
tried multiple times, playing sound in the background, but nothing works. just keeps saying openal can't create
Even got the game updated
I would do a fresh install to be honest. Haven't seen that error.

sorta. it runs on open xray engine.
Yea it's a great engine! But is it a different story line, cuz i see you guys surprised from the chapters @@bluetherobot
Yeah. Absolutely loving it though. And its pretty gorgeous.
Is this hardcore like anomaly or more story/chill mod?
Definitely more story/chill

This might be just the ticket for me.
Go check it out!
So sad ths is not made in OpenXRay, i feel like if it was, you could install all those juicy graphics mods
nevermind, its made with OpenXRay
So then in theory, it could have more?
@@bluetherobot in theory
i completed it 2day, i enjoy
It was pretty good.
DO you know how to fix the OpenAl error for this game?
Sadly not off the top of my head. Just re-install, and make sure all the bin files are in the same folder as the exe file when installing.
Can't download exe file from Gdrive :/ Any clues?
Possibly too many downloads at a time...
I hope so @@bluetherobot I'd really love to try this
