      Literally this. I saw that last video about GAMMA and after being interested in Stalker for years, finally decided to take the plunge. Absolutely love it. It's everything I could want out of an open world, sandbox, post apocalyptic, survival, shooter, coming from Tarkov. I definitely have Drewski to thank for that. Love to see him doing an Ironman playthrough. Best of luck out there, stalker.

    Pro tip: You don't need charcoal to cook with the Field Cooking Kit, you can use it on a campfire, you just have to be close enough to show the "Extinguish" prompt, and then open your inventory and right click, then use. Saves the high carry weight of Charcoal and it's free.

    Yo Drew,
    I was able to get rid of all my micro stutters and lag with these steps.
    1. I turned on the stutter fix in MO.
    2. Closed steam while playing GAMMA.
    3. Disabled discord overlay and hardware excel.
    4. Launch Anomaly launcher via MO, then change shadow mapping to 1536, turn on prefetch sounds.
    5. Launch game and always disable CPU core 0 for the game.
    After I did all of these my game runs super smooth :)

    Love to see more people giving S.T.A.L.K.E.R the love it deserves. A couple of tips though, for Anomaly/GAMMA:
    1: You don't NEED charcoal for that cooking set, you can use it without fuel if you use it next to a campfire
    2: When an NPC asks for multiple of an item, an item with multiple uses counts as multiple items. Eg: a Vinca with 5 uses counts as 5 Vinca

There is 1 sort of tutorial guy at the beginning in Rookie Village but you have to talk to him to figure that out.

      I remember at some point downloading a mod a few years back similar to this. When the AI was in a group, if at least 1 of them had an automatic weapon, they would fire at your last know position while others approached. Suppression and flanking. That was an amazing experience.

The other one is a completely new project called Ray of hope but that one's been in development for 10 years already so I don't think it will ever get finished. Allegedly the problem is with the way how the game works. That each instance (game) is unique as the people and creatures (the whole zone) lives it's own life independently from the player and therefore is unique. That it's not scripted, or at least not all of the things, therefore allegedly it would be difficult to sync two players online. Or smthing like that.

      Yeah, I messed up the "loadout" part so I went in with a PM and whatever that came along. Struggled with the tutorial mission (Fanatic), I thought they were just normal boars and a couple shots will kill them but no, they charge fast, hit hard and I hit the asphalt just as hard before I even knew how to sprint (I had to consult the key binds menu SO MUCH).
      I roamed and wandered near the road where the boar "hunt" took place as there is a anomaly here when he tells me to visit the anomaly which I wasn't sure where, I didn't know I could track the mission location after an hour, I finally understand what to do.

    Little advices for your next play :
    - Explore the buildings, search on crates/tables or in jeeps/trucks for items, it can be food, repair items or even crafting materials in good state, very usefull.
    - do as much missions as you can in cordon to get some stash coordinates and then find your first basic tools, it's one of the 2 ways to have more advanced repair tools sold by the technician to who you gave those tools, but the best and cheaper way is to craft it yourself with those basic tools. The missions finding documents from the professors of clear sky and scientists will lead you to good stashes.
    - Find those packages with RF receiver, it will save you especially at beginning.
    - at beginning, try to find good pistols, like .45 or desert eagle (you found 1 or 2 against mercs sadly), very cheap to repair (handgun repair kit) and very powerfull.

    The point you try to make at 45:10 about the fact that Anomaly doesn't have a story I think is great. Personally I find it fun to be a "nobody", not be the main character that can do everything for once. In Anomaly you really get that feeling that no one knows you and that you're just some random guy trying to survive in the zone along with a bunch of other people. I think that's what separates it from a lot of other games and I find that to be a good thing. Most, if not all, new games (that have a story) have this feeling that you're the main character, you're the guy everyone wants to talk to, but in Anomaly you're you and no one else.

    5:26 on the topic of "Duty doesn´t let you in" in Stalker SOC. Dunno how known this is and I never looked it up since I discovered this some 15 years ago.. when playing SOC and you wanna trade with the duty guy, you can climb through the trashpile opposite of the arena. Takes a bit of wiggle waggle and shit but the most interesting part is, since you are trespassing you have to watchout that the guards can´t see you.. but the trader actually walks to the window and starts talking to you.Thought it´s a nice little detail most people don´t know about~ I can´t speak russian or ukrainian but I am fairly sure that he even comments on you being there without being allowed.

    This style feels so much like a FrankieonPC video. And I love it. Slightly less cinematic (season 1 was dead-on with the cinematic feel) but the tension of knowing it’s ironman ratchets up the intensity to more than make up for it. I especially enjoy how much it gives you the Tarkov vibe of total fear of death, careful cautious gameplay, and constantly scanning your surroundings for any movement. Well done.

I shot the last one in the chest and had to climb up a ladder into a tower to finish him. He was on the ground. I was going to see if the game would let me show him mercy because he was saying "get over here I'm bleeding out. I came over and while trying to help him he stood up super quickly and started shooting at me. There were too many rads so I was getting down to half health and started drinking vodka. That's when he stood up and started shooting me. I couldn't run past him so I shot him in the chest with my toz and he didn't die. (after already bleeding out on the ground) I died...

    18:30 - That's a nice touch right there. The present(past) you is telling us you're expecting to die soon while future(present, which I guess is also at the past now since it has already passed by the time I'm watching this) you writing and editing this video that you've lived through the whole experience.
    I haven't skipped the video but no words could I describe it how that experience was. At one instance, you're telling us that you won't expect much of it and that you'll die soon so don't expect too much hope while on the other, you wrote that you'll live through and you have plot armor, at least on this video, so therefore there's hope that you'll live through the video. I can't describe how surreal that experience was, really can't.
    I hope you have an interesting journey on how it all went. Also, I'm laughing my ass out about the massive amount of people just up and downloaded the mod en masse. Good thing I downloaded my Anomaly files before this whole shenanigan happened. Or was it affected by the craze or not since it was focused on Gamma? Anyway, felt sorry for those guys who had to manage all of this mess but I hope this gives them the motivation to soldier on and make it better because they really made a good mod that not a lot of people know about unless you told them.
    Anyways, live long Stalker Drewski. Live as long as you can and we'll be watching you. Don't worry, I won't be skipping. For all it's worth, I can guarantee you that.
