True Stalker isn't
True Stalker is a standalone game based off S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that boldly proclaims to be "true" STALKER. Ironically, the name of this title clashes with the actual gameplay experience in regards to both what is "true" and what is "STALKER" resulting in neither coming to fruition. While there is some promise shown by the end product, ultimately this game's biggest triumphs are superficial, creating a deceptive appearance of a quality STALKER game, while in reality much is left to be desired likely because of a misunderstanding of what STALKER truly is.

STALKER on Consoles: Why is This a Thing? (Heart of Chornobyl & Legends of the Zone)

STALKER is on consoles and it's almost as scary as a Stalker's first encounter with a Pseudogiant.

The Old FPS is Dead. What Now?

Frankly, making this video about the lack of focus in AAA FPS games feels like I'm the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" meme but it also feels like I'm preaching to the choir.

    Having just finished 100% achievement hunting Shadow of Chornobyl as well as beating Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, I'm confident now that being controller friendly should have no impact on STALKER 2 as these games all play just fine with a controller. Honestly if anything I wish someone would take the controller scheme used in these and adapt it to Open X-Ray; controller support on the PC versions of the STALKER games and their crazy mods is pretty much non-existent. I'm excited to see what the promised enhancements and mod support end up looking like!

    Why are you negatively presenting the developers' nationality? That's really racist to be honest, cause you ain't saying that they in some way try to justify or speak in favor of the Russian invasion, you just highlight the fact that they're Russian.

    • @cantgameright

      Attempted russian appropriation of Stalker into russki myr is the reason GSC game world has suffered countless cyberattacks. Highlighting that the authors of this mod that claims to be the "True" STALKER may be a part of that movement is important. Aside from stating facts about deceptive tactics being part and parcel of the muscovite games industry (and why) nothing I've stated is untrue. Even the patriotic tank kolyaskas . The accusation of racism is very serious, btw. If condemning suspect behavior from a consistent origin is "racist" you would need evidence that I show that same attitude towards people from that origin who don't partake in said behavior, and that is something I do not do. I made it absolutely clear that I don't know where AP Pro stands (and that it's not worth my time to find out) and that the criticism about TS are purely based in what it calls itself and its merits as a STALKER experience. Despite that, judging from the Ukrainian commenters here, AP Pro isn't on good terms with GSC or Ukrainian players and that says something.

    You need to try some Slav zone mods. Also I don’t agree with your opinion on this mod. Yes it’s different from your typical mods that most are posting these days but it’s a change from anomaly, gamma, efp, blah blah. It’s something new and fresh looking, so I don’t think you should shit on it for being different it’s still a good mod to play though and it’s still stalker. I’m guessing you haven’t given and of the story mods a try either?

    Well this wolfstaker or ap pro he is trying to sit on two chairs, none of them do not recognize that in stalker more Ukrainian intichnosti and they say that it is not there and trying to appropriate the entire universe of stalker m even the creators of this mod, this plate with Ukrainian inscriptions the only thing there is of Ukrainian intichnosti, I didn't want to play this mod because I'm trying to protect myself from all the Russian settlement on February 24, but I saw that there is a Ukrainian localization is the first Ukrainian localization from the Russian in Stalker and we have been waiting for 17 years and this localization is just horrible such a feeling that they made it in a day and did not correct errors, I played this mod 3 hours and deleted anyway I wanted to look at the ukr localization. I'll tell you this, if they for the first time in 17 years for the first time added a sign with Ukrainian inscriptions and crooked localization, it would be better if they never did it, because it looks like a handout from them. And thank you for the video, when I was playing these 3 hours, this mod seemed like something beautiful to me, but in fact it is empty.

    I hate hud elements and mini maps. Back when I was playing online games like MW2 I always played hardcore. I don't want crosshairs I want shooting quickly from the "hip" to be a skill. ADS to be a decisive choice to forego speed for precision. I also want my feedback to be realistic visual and audible. Instead of hit markers whats better is a blood spurt and the thud of 1000-3000fps projectile smacking flesh. I want my damage and stamina feedback to be grunts of pain, bloodsplatter on the screen and heavy breathing and foggyness around the edges.

    I still think the best way for new players to get into the OG trilogy is COP with GUNSLINGER which also guves you the option to install Absolute Nature and that's all you need for a first playthrough. Someone has comverted GUNSLINGER SOC and if you search UA-cam you can actually find it but I think GUNSLINGER is the simplest way to modernize STALKER and retain what makes them my favorite franchise of all time.

    I don't get the point of this video. True Stalker, as marketed by the mod's description, says it's SUPPOSED to be what you describe in this video. It's not meant to be a simulator, like the stalker games, it's meant to be a standard experience within the Stalker universe. If you go into this thinking it's like every other stalker game you're gonna be disappointed not because it's a bad mod but because you fooled yourself into thinking it's the same bargain bin mashup of random shit into a playlist of mods. I've been putting hours into it and I also play StalkerZ, a DayZ RP server set in Stalker-- and I get fond memories from the things that happen in game because from my experience, yeah the shit in this game is stuff you'd experience there on that RP server. Where actual characters exist and things actually happen instead of it being a life simulator with no discernable story without considerable amount of hours put in to just piece things together only to realize the story itself is open ended and almost nonsensical until the very end where you have all the pieces together. This game is something magical, something different in a sea of the same story, the same mechanics or slightly different mechanics, the same lore and the same experience over and over. My only criticism I have on True Stalker is it's lack of storage space, and the lack of interaction between side characters and other NPC's in the world. That and the fact that it relies on knocking you out to tell a story most of the time. I personally didnt' like it, but looking past that the gameplay is solid and the story is just fun. It's enough to have a character that somewhat aligns with your interests so you could get immersed enough into the world if you pay attention to the story. You get unique interactions which you can't get in normal stalker games, you get to explore famous and interesting locations and even new locations with new enemies and all sorts of new shit while also being in a coherent and for lack of a better term spoon fed story that isn't half bad. Not saying the Stalker games are bad, they're honestly my favorite games of all time, but to compare this to Stalker is like comparing apples to oranges imo.

    100% agree. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed..... well most of my time playing this game, a lot of the side quests where interesting and unique, the world design I'd say is some of the most detailed and lived in in a STALKER game and the maps are absolutely beautiful. The choice to use GUNSLINGER for it's core albeit neutered was a good one as I feel it's the best way to modernize the trilogy while staying close to the originals. But yeah no A-life or random blowouts, agregious use of cut scenes and extremely linear story held it back. Like you said it's well polished and I'd love to see what the devs can do if they made a an actual True Stalker. I do still think it is worth a try at least, and it's free so why not try it?
