Now Custer, you should know better by now. Once you traverse the zone - she will always have you. You start off wanting to escape the zone, but slowly you keep coming back, as if it’s a toxic lover. She gives as she takes. Once in the zone, always in the zone. This is brutal truth that we must accept. As always, good hunting stalker.
I love how one thing we can agree on - no matter if you're a more casual STALKER fan or one of the milsim tactical tryhards - is that the Zone is what calls us back each and every time. It's lonely, scary, and empty. But as soon as you hear a campfire or the guitar or see your home base it's like coming home. It's creature comfort in a world that doesn't give a shit about you. I love it. You can take the gamer out of the Zone but you can't take the Zone out of the gamer.
@evelynblackwood1470 You do know that you can be a fan of milsims and not be a try hard right? There are people like me who just have a big interest in weaponry of all kinds and like them to be done as realistically as possible. Please don't lump all milsim enjoyers together like that we are not all tryhards. You can play the way you want to play and others will play the way they want to play.
@@evelynblackwood1470 Ah okay no worries. Stalker can get surprisingly close when it comes to realistic weapons though not bad for such an ancient engine.
hehe, look at you, making fun of the Tarkov crowd, how adorable ... "You can take the penis off the man, but they'll always be a man" you're not kidding anyone *dude.
@@rmcgowa1987 Not in the slightest lol, for a start almost all the weapons are mirrored and shoot out the casings into your face. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love stalker but I really don't get why people throw realism around so loosely when talking about stalker, it's really not that realistic. I would say it's immersive, not realistic.
You are the reason I got into STALKER and I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this amazing franchise and community. I'm still working on my first complete playthrough of STALKER: GAMMA and am having a blast. One of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences in my 30 years of gaming.
Discovered Anomaly 3 months ago, after playing the trilogy. Now i cant leave it. Deleted all my others games. The Zone got me and i simply can't let it go.
@pronexusgamer3594 I know about gamma. I mooded my anomaly whit 50 + mods. The 3 New levels , quests chains, animations, weapon mag cold system. I do like the gamma economy, I play anomaly like that, no guns armors and helmets buy, only craft. I like to suffer I guess😁
The dynamic features of this game especially with the EFP pack makes the experience thrilling. No gimmicks. A new personal story emerges with each gameplay in a way.
@@HeavyMilkSyrupi apologize for my brain not functioning but is this reshade a mod or is this something you can do in settings? I've never played stalker anomaly or gamma but my pc is coming next week and ill finally be able to play it. Thanks in advance

Broski been following you for quiet some time now , always said you’re similar to Frankie with the editing and your videos are very interesting, entertaining and enjoyable. You have to try yourself with reels , when u make a video some stuff that you don’t put in video but seem cool make a reel and see where it gets you. Your channel deserves more and since you seem to really enjoy making videos it would be a shame to not make a proper living out of this. As always wish you all the best bro and don’t give up, many have been here for years and they made it , guy with your quality can too. ❤
you know, i have a very similar feeling of longing for a virtual world. my own being Fallout New Vegas. although New Vegas is far different in terms of its gameplay, where Stalker is far more about ambience, mood, post-soviet aesthetics and the traditional narratives of man against nature, man against man and man against god (Read the C-Consciousness/The Zone) and where New Vegas tends to be more Man against society, Man Against Self and Man against the absence of God and Man against Technology, I wish I could play Fallout New Vegas in a way that makes STALKER players feel the way they do for their own game. TL;DR I envy STALKER players and their love for their game in contrast to my own for New Vegas, where I wish I could love my game as intensely as STALKER players do for theirs.
In Fallout 1 and 2 (and Tactics) there is certainly this ambience part that thrives. Especially with the soundtrack being based from Aphex Twin's tracks (and other IDM or Ambient artists). Both games have this feeling of loneliness and desolation (aside from the settlements, camps and other places). I still get that feeling from Fallout New Vegas as well
You make great videos. Keep going! Your Stalker videos inspired me to start making Gray Zone Warfare Videos now too - in a more or less cinematic style. I'm not there yet - but I will try to make them better :D
I think one of the factors that make Stalker a great game, is it similarities to real life and the concept that you are not going to be the huge champion but it is actually challenging to serve in the Zone exactly like real life.
Appreciate this video, however I need to point out as a long time fan we’ve been playing for 17 years. This is not recently due to the upcoming sequel. Anyone entering the zone for the first time please just respect it and don’t expect anything. Go in with an open mind. Stalker is unlike any other open world game
Thanks for everything. You made me install Stalker Anomaly during the virus and I enjoy it since. Stalker 2 is finally about to be released, only the " never ever preorder" rule keeps me from preordering it :)
for me the biggest issue in anomaly/addons gampley right now, are the enemy spawns, are so predictable that u never find enmies out from specific areas, so u dont need top stay alert all time
The biggest problem of these mods for me is the audience which played these mods now is expecting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to play like these mods. I don't have much against these mods, but the audience sometimes pushes these mods as the only true stalker experience.
@@VORASTRA im one of these audiences, addons showed up the path to follow, stalker. You ant to be a 2024 be like a 2007 game, we fear that a 2024 game will be like half arcade 2007 game
@@panzerabteilung there are different audience for the modded stalker as well. Some people enjoy Lost Alpha which plays more like originals but with bunch of content, some people enjoy cumulative pack which is community content packaged in one game. You can't force the whole audience to enjoy a more hardcore way when there are other valid options even in the mod scene which are made for less hardcore audience.
didnt have a chance to play anomaly or gamma yet but I played the others especially COC. No matter how many times u play stalker or which version, u will always go back and let the zone haunt again and again
Something that's been keeping me curious for a while now ... Do you write the narration + story first, or the footages recorded first? Considering how The Zone can be wildly random at times
I agree with all you said. Well done by the way. In my case, I feel those things of being called back to the zone. I play other games as well but "The zone" calls. I answer. I am excited for the next installment of this franchise.
Phrozac's Badlands Reshade? Looks a lot like my current playthru setup! Hyped for STALKER 2 but its such a feat that Anomaly has carried so many stalkers to this point and has acheived so much!
Great video as always. I always enjoy listening to your stories. By the way is this the Stalker EFP V4.2 with the mod organizer v2.4.4 lists of mods that is in the Discord EFP group, released in 70-03- 2023? Because I downloaded it from a month ago, but your character has much more animation and better textures! How often do the mods list get updated that requires re installation ? Thanks, and your doing great with this channel cheers 🍻
Can you make a video about your mods and how to install thème ? Because anomaly is stuttering every time I play it, and I have a very powerfull PC so I don't understand
Is this modded? It's been so long! and it still looks impressive. Great cinematography and narration as usual CUSTERPLAYS that really shows off this game, and it's engine. I was like whoh! I gotta reinstall this! Cannot wait for Stalker HOC! You can tell that some of the original devs have had influence and involvement into how it is meant to be for sure. GSC are the best at what has now became a particular genre of games in it's own right, and I'm here for it.
@@masterzaff1 any of the trilogy without mods may be considered "basic" game. All of them have their own modding community. And the newer mods like Call of Chernobyl and later use the modified by the community engine of Call of Pripyat (which was leaked).
Lo unico que no me gusta de anomaly , es no tener con quien compartir la experiencia de estar sumergido en la zona. Seria una gloria poder jugar con un amigo en cooperativo.
Hey custer, can you make a video on how to download days gone mods? For example the very powerful rock chuck that you use / honey badger and the rockchuck re skin the outfit infinite surpresser infinite ammo modern silencer thats infinite inf bike durability etc.. basically lots of things infinite lol.. like inf bike fuel durability more guns outfit mods etc better stamina
I just got s.t.a.l.k.e.r, call of Pripyat. I got confused and bought the 3rd one. Before I dive into it, are the other 2 games better? Do I need to play those to understand this one? I know the story is different but…
For the story itself I recommend Shadow of Chernobyl, it's the most important one, but it's also the oldest one. Or play all 3 if you want the full picture. I personally thought it was a little barebones though, because it has aged quite a lot, but all 3 of them have. Overall Call of Pripyat is the best and most polished game, and GAMMA, Anomaly, Gunslinger, all the popular mods pretty much have Call of Pripyat as their basis. But Anomaly has it's own custom 64bit version of the game engine. And just so you know, it's a real mess actually. This GAMMA 'mod' is actually a modpack for Anomaly, which was a mod, of a mod, of a mod, of a mod (more or less, not sure anymore). But almost all these mods started with the Call of Chernobyl mod which pretty much Incorporated all 3 games into one, removed the story, and then turned it into a sandbox. But anyway, to get back to the point, you do not actually need the game to play these mods anymore, except for Gunslinger. Just understand that the Sandbox style mods (GAMMA/Anomaly) do not have the actual game's story in them. Long ass comment, but I hope it explained things a bit.
@rafox66 Hey thanks for that. I have a few hours into it and with zero tutorials, stuff is confusing haha. the world is a little empty? Not much loot or enemy’s. But the atmosphere is great. I like it so far, I wanted to play at least one original before this one drops. I’m on console so I can’t do mods unfortunately.
@@Keith-jp6jw Oh my bad, I automatically assumed you wanted to play the Anomaly mod because of the video lol. The game can feel a little empty yes, but I don't think it's that big of a deal if you follow the missions. If you knife the square wooden boxes and the little blue containers, there's often loot inside those. But most of the loot will come from hidden stashes and other stalkers in the zone, keep your eyes open for the stashes because they can be well hidden. Under a house or in a pipe etc. The thing to remember is that when you are playing, the A.I. will be doing their own thing too, so sometimes it can also feel more empty because there was a fight and the ones in the area mostly died somewhere. It then takes a while for new ones to show up. That's also what can make it fun, I remember a specific moment where I made a friend once by saving some guy's life and giving him a medkit and then a while later I ran into the same guy again and was happy to see him still alive.
@rafox66 That’s my bad I didn’t even realize this was a mod video. I’ll keep that all in mind, I think I was overlooking a lot of stuff. So far I like it a lot. And the empty atmosphere is actually kinda relaxing lol.
Custer you should really hire a Ukrainian VA and drop a full on hour long stalker movie with an actual plot, and characters I would watch that your shots are so good.
There is a unique and fundamental appeal of playing as the "everyman" as opposed to an elevated, priviliged protagonist that gains advantages over everyone else in the sandbox. The "power fantasy" as it were. Although anomaly and it's modpacks do incorporate the power fantasy to some degree (unavoidable really haha, loading after a death IS a form of power fantasy) it's far less pronounced than anything else around. Look at Cyberpunk, excellent narrative shooter but that thing has power fantasy dripping from its eyeballs. The thing is with power fantasy, the appeal is limited until the power "fantasy" has run its course and you move on to the next power fantasy provider sandbox. I like Cyberpunk but will it be around with a giant modding scene 15yrs from now? No it will not, another power fantasy game will have replaced it as a better option. As for the "everyman" Stalker, NOTHING else is really doing that in the single player format so it's appeal just lives on and on.
The only thing this franchise is missing is hot women. I don't know, maybe being able to rescue some girl and attempt to protect her in this enviroment seems like an appealing deal to me.
Some of them might be scientists or soldiers, maybe medical workers, women usually stay out of active fighting environment. The world around the zone is fine, so they stay there.
Great editing great video but realistically only 6 min of gameplay, I love the content just maybe a bit more than 6 min with a 2 min ad (I understand you gotta get that bag) just put more gameplay withhin the vid if thats the case. This is just my opinion and I mean no offence just simple suggestion.
He said multiple times in the beginning, it's Anomaly mod. Good mod but sadly this and GAMMA spoils the new audience and they want STALKER 2 now to look like another survival simulator.
Сталкер 2, вы уже не услышите Русскую речь среди сталкеров. Будет ощущение что зона теперь не на востоке, а на западе. Даже бандиты славянской внешности и повадками будут говорить на чистом английском. Атмосфера игры будет уничтожена и мы снова вернулся к аномалии.
"there's something about not being the main character" I don't know about that chief...**me after stopping 350 monolith soldiers and 80000 mutants while also destroying the brain scorcher and reaching the wish granter in less than a month of arriving into the zone on my own**...I think I am xd
Im gonna be honest, we still dont have a Stalker game..Vanilla STALKERS were absolute slop garbage back in the day and still are, EU played them for 2 months, western audience never heard of it and only people playing them were from soviet block, and those were pirated cause nobody wanted to pay $40 back in the day for it when games like COD4,Crysis,Dead Space were out for the same price,afterwards we got METRO and STALKER stayed buried...only recently in 2020 Anomaly became popular cause of EFT and DayZ, but at that point are you still really playing the STALKER game or menu simulator which leads to nothing what are you building your gear/loadout towards "imaginary roleplay" ? i'll never understand hype over STALKER, its a game where 70% of quests are fetch (including main) and gunplay feels like you have sand stuck in your gun unless you mod the shit out of the game which at that point becomes completely different game cause its in completely different engine..so yes, we are still waiting for proper STALKER game..
I walked through every STALKER game at least for 3 times vanilla, played without mods and with them. Most of post-USSR kids played them back in the day.
Bro, how do you avoid that annoying flickering in vegetation that no anti-aliasing can remove? I've tried the grass mods but it still looks horrible :( please help

@@Keith-jp6jw Oh my bad, I automatically assumed you wanted to play the Anomaly mod because of the video lol.
The game can feel a little empty yes, but I don't think it's that big of a deal if you follow the missions.
If you knife the square wooden boxes and the little blue containers, there's often loot inside those. But most of the loot will come from hidden stashes and other stalkers in the zone, keep your eyes open for the stashes because they can be well hidden. Under a house or in a pipe etc.
The thing to remember is that when you are playing, the A.I. will be doing their own thing too, so sometimes it can also feel more empty because there was a fight and the ones in the area mostly died somewhere. It then takes a while for new ones to show up.
That's also what can make it fun, I remember a specific moment where I made a friend once by saving some guy's life and giving him a medkit and then a while later I ran into the same guy again and was happy to see him still alive.

That’s my bad I didn’t even realize this was a mod video. I’ll keep that all in mind, I think I was overlooking a lot of stuff. So far I like it a lot. And the empty atmosphere is actually kinda relaxing lol.
Custer you should really hire a Ukrainian VA and drop a full on hour long stalker movie with an actual plot, and characters I would watch that your shots are so good.
Hey Cluster, have you ever heard STALKER Anomaly Custom ? new modpack that aim to match Stalker 2 graphics, It's awesome
@@Ahtnagarp yeah, graphics look great. The rest is not
There is a unique and fundamental appeal of playing as the "everyman" as opposed to an elevated, priviliged protagonist that gains advantages over everyone else in the sandbox. The "power fantasy" as it were. Although anomaly and it's modpacks do incorporate the power fantasy to some degree (unavoidable really haha, loading after a death IS a form of power fantasy) it's far less pronounced than anything else around. Look at Cyberpunk, excellent narrative shooter but that thing has power fantasy dripping from its eyeballs. The thing is with power fantasy, the appeal is limited until the power "fantasy" has run its course and you move on to the next power fantasy provider sandbox. I like Cyberpunk but will it be around with a giant modding scene 15yrs from now? No it will not, another power fantasy game will have replaced it as a better option. As for the "everyman" Stalker, NOTHING else is really doing that in the single player format so it's appeal just lives on and on.
The only thing this franchise is missing is hot women. I don't know, maybe being able to rescue some girl and attempt to protect her in this enviroment seems like an appealing deal to me.
Some of them might be scientists or soldiers, maybe medical workers, women usually stay out of active fighting environment. The world around the zone is fine, so they stay there.
4:18 I don't like this drinking animation.. prefer the previous versions. The rest animations looks golden! 😎👌
Great editing great video but realistically only 6 min of gameplay, I love the content just maybe a bit more than 6 min with a 2 min ad (I understand you gotta get that bag) just put more gameplay withhin the vid if thats the case. This is just my opinion and I mean no offence just simple suggestion.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R IS STALKER and will always be
What stalker is this ? Because that’s deffo not vanilla
He said multiple times in the beginning, it's Anomaly mod. Good mod but sadly this and GAMMA spoils the new audience and they want STALKER 2 now to look like another survival simulator.
Is stalker ps5
You don't need to be the dragonborn all the time.
FUCC ... Time to open MO2 again to sink some hours
the mic effects sound so goofy
play some STALCRAFT
Сталкер 2, вы уже не услышите Русскую речь среди сталкеров. Будет ощущение что зона теперь не на востоке, а на западе. Даже бандиты славянской внешности и повадками будут говорить на чистом английском. Атмосфера игры будет уничтожена и мы снова вернулся к аномалии.
На украинском многие планируют проходить на западе, как я читаю многие комменты
@@VORASTRA да, хотя бы на украинском, а так совсем печально слышать английскую речь на пост советской территории.
오 예~! : )
Why? Simple your people that have no life.
Play gamma NOW

"there's something about not being the main character"
I don't know about that chief...**me after stopping 350 monolith soldiers and 80000 mutants while also destroying the brain scorcher and reaching the wish granter in less than a month of arriving into the zone on my own**...I think I am xd
get out of ere Stolker!!!!
Im gonna be honest, we still dont have a Stalker game..Vanilla STALKERS were absolute slop garbage back in the day and still are, EU played them for 2 months, western audience never heard of it and only people playing them were from soviet block, and those were pirated cause nobody wanted to pay $40 back in the day for it when games like COD4,Crysis,Dead Space were out for the same price,afterwards we got METRO and STALKER stayed buried...only recently in 2020 Anomaly became popular cause of EFT and DayZ, but at that point are you still really playing the STALKER game or menu simulator which leads to nothing what are you building your gear/loadout towards "imaginary roleplay" ? i'll never understand hype over STALKER, its a game where 70% of quests are fetch (including main) and gunplay feels like you have sand stuck in your gun unless you mod the shit out of the game which at that point becomes completely different game cause its in completely different engine..so yes, we are still waiting for proper STALKER game..
I walked through every STALKER game at least for 3 times vanilla, played without mods and with them. Most of post-USSR kids played them back in the day.
I agree
stalker

Bro, how do you avoid that annoying flickering in vegetation that no anti-aliasing can remove? I've tried the grass mods but it still looks horrible :( please help
Huge amounts of rain in the screen xD

I figured!! Haha. Keep it up bro, I love how immersive your videos are! Greetings from Argentina!
I played stalker gamma practically every day for a year. Haven’t played for about 6 months. This is making me miss the zone 🥲
