My fav thing in Call of prypiat is how you just get dropped in. Not even to a safe space. There's immediately travellers you can rob. And you are set free with vague directions to look for choppers.
Maaaaan when the burer puts up his shield, don’t shoot at him. He’ll reflect the bullets onto you. What you need to do is bait him until he drops the shield and then unload into his massive 5head
13:24 honestly, the mutant combat is the main thing hindering my experience with the game thus far. They already don't feel very refined, but then they throw like 4 or 5 at you at a time and it just becomes frustrating. That money you've been saving up? Time to use it all on expensive repairs. Those 30 medkits you got? Time to use them all in 2 minutes. The invisible fuckers are the worst.
Again and again thanks a lot from Ukrainian fan for one more great RAMBLER video! In many your ranking videos I may have different opinions, but here your ranks is fully matching my own.
Zaton and jupiter is better than all the maps from soc combined, plus the quests from cop is a lot more diverse, and I love the militaristic setting the most
In my opinion there is no bad Stalker games. They are all good for their own time because they were a games of it's time that found a tons of fans, including me. Well, maybe if you consider also a old mobile java games, they could be worst but even then, what did you expect from a 2.5D game for old mobile phones? As for been "janky", name a game that is not janky. Like, none of the games on release has a perfect state, especially these days. Take a look at Cyberpunk 2077, No Man's Sky or GTA 4. Those games on release were a mess. 1:14 I get the joke but just wanted to say that, in Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl, you play as Strelok that is also nicknamed in the game as Marked because of his Stalker mark and because he lost his memory, but that's a spoiler. In it's prequel Clear Sky you play as Scar and in Shadow of Chernobyl's sequel, which is Call of Pripyat, you play as Alexander Degtyarev. And as all of you already know, in new game, which is Stalker 2, you play as Skif. BUT, there was a pre-release beta version of very first game, which is Shadow of Chernobyl, that was called Oblivion Lost. And in that game you supposed to play as, if I remember correctly, a stalker called Ghost. You can later find his body in final version of the game aka Shadow of Chernobyl, on one of the locations and by the plot of final game, he was a ally of Strelok and his group of Stalkers.
Stalker 2: Dlss is what caused the memory leak for my pc in my testing so I switched over to TSR and when using frame generation you need to enable nvida reflex under the display tab to mitigate the sluggish controls while using it.
I don’t belive cop number 1 it has mid story ends really fast only 3 maps the only good thing about it is gameplay which is slightly better than the other 2 from the trilogy
Clear sky is my most beloved game. Game is graphically better than SoC and there's so much interesting thing like factions(i had a mod that made it worked ideally), weapon upgrades and of course funny bandits. That "bandit song" came from clear sky. And their quests we're interesting too. And there was a lot of memes because Clear sky. Just remember that moment where enemies throw a lot of grenades at you. I got like 7 greaned at one time. And interesting characters like Lebedev, Ashot, Pahan(bandit leader) The problem with this game was performance problems. It had more problems than other Stalker games. The best game in my opinion is Call of Pripyat. SoC is the most atmospheric Stalker game. But i didn't replay it much like other games.
Actually about difficulty in older S.T.A.L.K.E.R games it works like this: the higher difficulty the more damage you give to your enemy the more damage they give to you if you play on lets say STALKER difficulty you are actually not missing them when you aim at them with a good weapon you both are actually just bullet sponges.
If you forget about the bugs stalker 2 is the best stalker game because it’s modern and feels way better to play than any of the other ones they were good for the time but don’t play so great now plus the map is massive the world is way more reactive monsters are scary and tough and in general stalker 2 just beats all 3 of the originals in every way there all good in there own right but this is my personal favorite
Disagree, the world feels dead. Locations have life but literally nobody roams the zone, npcs spawn in a 100 foot bubble around you in the wild as opposed to naturally stumbling into them. I'm 20 hours in and I've yet to see factions fighting one another, stalker fighting mutants, stalkers hunting artifacts, etc. Traveling between locations (which is 80% of the game) is very boring as a result of this. The A life system is not a lifing
"if you forget about the bugs" oh you mean the terrible performance, literally non existent A-Life, crashes every hour, enemies re-spawning right in front of you at times? it has the potential to be EASILY the best stalker game, with some big updates and add some mods, and it's over. But, it is clear it was not ready to be released.
For me the original is best, the thing they released a few days ago is just a terrible u finished jank, i would say the worst of all the stalker games, most definiteky, so many things a nd features missing, and also the graphics are terrible ,especially if you ccant play the game on stable framerate with the best gpu on the market. Where are the dynamic shadows casting from flashoight or the environment objects like the moon , lamps and so on...just oof, major oof, the game shoudlve been in developement for longer, its clear as day they pushed for release before it was ready, dont even get me started on the dumb ai, non existing stealth, spongy and tanky mutants , so much broken stuff.
Shadow of Chair Noble
Came to comment this exact thing lol
Man, i agree 100% with this ranking, i think you did a great job explaining why each game rank where it ranks.
i love how you time stamp get out of here stalker that's badass
Another great list, a similar series I would love to see you rank is the Metro games.
My fav thing in Call of prypiat is how you just get dropped in. Not even to a safe space. There's immediately travellers you can rob. And you are set free with vague directions to look for choppers.
Big map is good for future DLC 🙏🏾 lots of room for activities lol

In many your ranking videos I may have different opinions, but here your ranks is fully matching my own.
I wish game publishers could give you review copy in the future, because you are better than most game TH-camrs.
I played shadow of Chernobyl for the first time when it came out on switch!! The Stalker series has a new fan from me! Great game
Stalker is on the switch?
@ yeah the first 3 games
I said come in! Don't just stand there!
Zaton and jupiter is better than all the maps from soc combined, plus the quests from cop is a lot more diverse, and I love the militaristic setting the most
This TH-cam Video actually worked with no bugs or freezing, this is not a true stalker video
Not bugs… anomalies
That's great man, I have never ever played stalker in my entire lifetime but good staff. ❤ Maybe you should rank Eurojunk some day. 😅
Can you rank the life is strange games? I’m curious what your rankings would look like.

also notice leak with frame gen when i turn it on
i found an amazing artefact wich boost regen of starmina! very usefull
Does the trilogy fix any of the issues in the franchise ? For Xbox and Switch ?
All I know is that on XBox there is no keyboard and mouse support which is a no from me
I got a part for my gun where do I find it ?
I don’t belive cop number 1 it has mid story ends really fast only 3 maps the only good thing about it is gameplay which is slightly better than the other 2 from the trilogy
Stalker Cs is sick it’s my fav one why everyone hates it cop is much worse in every aspect accept gameplay

Dude actually ranked 2 higher than clear sky. Game broken and don’t even work right.
Actually about difficulty in older S.T.A.L.K.E.R games it works like this: the higher difficulty the more damage you give to your enemy the more damage they give to you if you play on lets say STALKER difficulty you are actually not missing them when you aim at them with a good weapon you both are actually just bullet sponges.
lol, this myth is still spreading...
