Hey man I was just wondering how you troubleshoot your mods I have had a huge issue trying to make my game work like yours in the videos. had it working for a little bit now it just crashes on open. Could you possibly do a toutorial or send a drive of the mods so I could just copy paste them. (as you can probs tell im not very experienced in mod installation). Thanks.
In the middle of a cold sleeting work day where I have lost my keys and am on the verge of actual anger. on break, saw this popped up. Instantly made my day better. You have more reach than you believe. Keep it up.
I'm in a similar place right now... we all (particularly men) need to take good, better care of ourselves, and resist any temptation of internalised hatred. As my father sais, bless his heart, "onwards and upwards." I love my Dad, he's awesome.

I genuinely really appreciate your approach to video creation, and the little short story commentary that you mix in during gameplay, brings me back to when I was younger and would watch minecraft let's plays, kinda refreshing in this cycle of mostly shorter less personal content
These long-form vids are TOTALLY AWESOME. They show gameplay, skill, playthrough which adds to a nice viewing and listening pleasure. The story of the game along with your memories from your childhood and experiences make it super interesting.
22:10 The monolith dudes just spam saying "enemy" btw. Vizhu vrag monolita - I see the enemy of monolith Vizhu protivnika - I see enemy Vrag monolita, ne uydesh - Enemy of monolith, you can't get away and so on. Actually, i can't recall a single monolith line they say during battle that doesn't include "enemy" in some form... yeah, they're pretty hostile lol.
Firefights are insane in this when you enable the mag redux mod. Gotta prep first, check how many mag pouches your armor has, pack you mags with the ammo you wanna use. It's wild.
I love the Mags mod, it's the only way I play. Completely changes how you go into firefights and how bold you get with taking on multiple enemies at once. Also really affects which armors and/or backpacks you use given how many mag pouches you get with each
9:30 That wasn't on accident. That was a strategic knife in order to cut the air in front of you thereby creating a temporary vacuum which accelerated you forward. Similar effects occur when just running with a knife which is why that increases speed :)
Probably the closest Fallout 4 overhaul mod in scope to stalker gamma is FROST Survival Simulator. It completely removes the Fallout 4 storyline, opting for a setting closer to when the bombs originally fell. It introduces a new questline, factions, towns, and voiced characters. It also overhauls the environment and survival mechanics. Would love to see you play it!
The FROST mod makes the game insanely difficult though, in that you die all the time. It's a death simulator lol. In STALKER Anomaly/Gamma the difficulty seems to be more curated; yeah even with the best gear you can still die, but it's not so bad that you die every couple of minutes, heh. I thought it was just me until I saw a playthrough on UA-cam and realised it's just FROST :p But it's kinda addictive nonetheless. I dunno what it is, but I keep getting dragged back to it. Glutton for punishment I guess.
latest Grok updates have really taken the visuals and sounds up a notch and the game is running silky smooth once you get the stuttering sorted out. PC used to blow air running this but now it's quietly purring. Fantastic modpack.

My brother, father, and I would go hunting in the Colorado Rockies annually. I vividly remember many times when we would step outside of our tent or pop-up camper in the middle of the night to piss, turn off our headlamps, and just see the big band of stars of the entire Milky Way going across the sky. Quite literally the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed, it never gets old. And on moonless nights you would not be able to see your own body, let alone the ground, it was genuinely unnerving just how _dark_ it was. On nights with a full moon however, it was bright enough to cast shadows of the trees around us, and you could easily go on a night hike. Quite amazing how stark the difference can be up in the middle of the Rockies. Some of the best memories I have. I miss those days so much.
this combo of the little stories and the combat and your editing makes for an incredibly enjoyable viewing experience, keep it up! long form works for you because you're actually really good at it, even though it's definitely more difficult to do well than short form.
Been following Anomaly GAMMA for a while now and did a full playthrough of it early in the summer. Some of the most fun i've had in a game for a long time. Will wait for the 1.0 release and stable mod list. Each update makes the fingers itch more. Just immense support to Grok and all the people in the discord helping out with the development, making custom shaders, texture compilations. And of course for you as well Drewski for making people find out about this project.
The worst day in my life was nine month ago when me and my brother were leaving Ukraine and news of invasion started getting in our feed. It happened just as we crossed the border, we had like an hour to look into the situation before there was no traffic. After that began the 24 hour trip towards Italy where we would eventually meet our mother but along the road there was a shit ton of fear and uncertainty towards my and my homeland's future. Never did I care about news but since then I can't remember a day when I didn't open the news channel (
Дивлячись на те, що я залишився в Україні (до речі, пишу в момент, коли обстрілюють інфраструктуру), вже не страшно. Перші дні та місяць були найважчі з позиції громадянина. Але тим, хто перебуває там, на полі бою найважче. Тому й не скаржусь. Але жити усе таки важче тут. Багато хто втратив роботу, у тому числі і я, у якого була домовленість на літо. Зима буде важкою. Але, перемога за нами
After that "story" you still complain that youre getting a low pay...? Lot of places you could have stayed before reaching here you know. But i think this is just clout chasing rubbish.
If your life is improved and your career is moving in the right direction, you should probably be grateful to February events which you call 'invasion'. Ukrainians are very strange people indeed :)
46:00 - imagine to see a deadly injured man with all this blood around who can't do literally anything but just call his mom for help. What an awful feeling... Even if this is just a game.
Watching you play stalker gamma is like crack. Every time you post one of these i literally just stop doing everything else. Keep up the good work your video are extremely entertaining
For anyone wondering, to remove the DOF when healing/reloading/eating. You gotta go in Mod Configs in the Pause menu, then go all the way down to something called SSS (if I remember correctly). And then you have the option to remove that DOF there, its not the main DOF of the game itself. You're welcome
Can't wait to play Gamma. Will start it after playing through the 3 original stalker games in the order of release to get a feel for the story and setting.
Having an absolutely terrible day at work, pop some earbuds in and work while listening to you play and talk about your life stories and other games and stuff makes it so much better. Please don't stop making long format videos that I can listen to and not be 100% compelled to watch.
the latest update adding gun inertia and sounds, along with the shader update has just made this game even MORE beautiful than it was before-- I'm really glad people are picking up the series en masse, and really really really suggest anyone to read the book series and watch the movie
Man you bring some much memories with your talk about past, I remember Battlefield 4 also being my first proper multiplayer FPS, I also got it around the Christmas time, most of my friends at the time started from bf 3 or bad company 2 and it felt little bit sad to be lagging behind especially considering that at first I were terrible at it, but hearing you having the same experience even though it's a little thing and otherwise our upbringing were nothing alike makes me feel connected. Damn that's what I like games and experience they share with wide variety of people for.
I love these longer videos. I'm in South Africa with Stage 6 Loadshedding at the time of writing this. I have 4 hours no power, 2 hours with, 4 hours not again. So I download the videos and watch on my phone. Helps keep my sanity
this is like you really at the zone, talking to your self, remembering your childhood and your past, its the way you cope while walking through the zone
Fallout 4 has the FROST mod, that's probably the biggest "overhaul" type of mod for it that I know of. Changes the setting into a nuclear-winter shortly after the War, completely rebalances gameplay on several fronts, has its own story and progression separate from the base game. It leans into "hardcore survival" much more than the normal game. There's of course hundreds of mods you can use in conjunction to essentially overhaul Fallout 4 into whatever you want. Last I checked I had over 200 installed at once.
@OperatorDrewski Thank you first off for making these awesome videos of a game I have played since Clear Sky. My first computer was a Pentium 166, and I got Battlefield 1942 DEMO from PC World Magazine. GAMMA is the BEST game out there today, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for being the one that showed it to me. I did try out Anomaly years ago, but have been having a lot of fun lately with the new .9 update.
Dude, I'm usually not into Stalker "default" gameplay videos - but this is something special. Truly a joy to watch. Cheeki breeki guy is great as well :)
This playthrough was relatively tame. I'm playing through EFP right now. I'm on day 18 and as I was working my way through the swamps to the Clear sky base, my team and I got swarmed by about 30 zombies, 8 boars, 2 bloodsuckers, and a psysucker. The firefight lasted more than a half hour and I blew through the ammo on my PPsH and my primary pistol and swapped to my backup .45. Once we got to the Clear Sky base we got attacked by another 6 lurkers and 2 chimeras. I'm almost out of ammo, down to 3 mags on my SVT and 3 mags on my M1911 and need to get back to the cordon to resupply. I'm running Dynamic mutants and have been making the game harder for myself every few days.
its really cool, as a Czech that you can hear very similiar words to Czech from all the slavic languages such as polish, ukranian, russian etc... for example "protivnika" - 22:12 is pretty much "protivník" (in Czech) or "Já raněn" wich means "im hit" or "Im hurt" :D
That’s why it was possible to build the interslavic. For those unaware that’s an attempt to unify all slavic people via a common language. ‘Protivnik’ also means enemy in Serbian, ‘ja ranjen’ - I am wounded too. It’s also the same in Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrian etc.
@@tomeknaj 'Obstril' sounds very similar to 'odstrel' which literally means 'to take down'. So obstril protivnika, as a directive would mean 'take down that enemy' or 'I've taken down the enemy', it would depend on the context and the specific language variety.
I dont think there is a single aspect of fallout 4 that hasnt been modded. There are so many mods that change everything from the way you use items to core gameplay mechanics. SimSettlements for example, MRE, eat off the floor, realistic bullets, ferns of the commonwealth etc etc. I currently run a modded fallout where nothing is properly bullet proof, a 9mm to the noggin kills you and zombies spawn in wandering hordes. New ai, MUCH darker nights and interiors, peronal vertibird transports etc.
HI, I love your DCS videos, thanks for posting. Have a great day, you have something special in you, keep the good shit up. I all ways get to take something good away with me when I watch your videos.
You can favorite items in your inventory and they'll always appear at the top. Makes it easier to see your ammo/medicine/food/repair-tools status and also makes it easier to sell all the unuseful stuff.

I'd always assumed that rather than boiling the vodka, they soaked in vodka like some kind of cursed marinade for a while then grilled it on the flame. That would (according to stalker logic, where vodka has magic anti-rad properties) still serve to "purify" the radiation out of the meat, right? Honestly it's probably going to suck either way, but it's a game of how much less you can make it suck.
Yo Drew there's actually a big mod pack / overhaul for Fallout 4 based on STALKER called Lost World, might be worth a look. Thanks for the video dude, I'm an old STALKER fan and your adventures have been a good time. Take care!
Always happy to see more from you, been pretty good lately, got to see Almost Queen on Friday...damn good Queen tribute band, Hung out in an online con just enjoying the good music and panels. Now back to work at a job I don't hate.
I'm downloading the required files and following the install tutorial now. It's 3:54am here. I can't wait to play this. Pretty sure I love modding and playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. more than I do Skyrim. I'm saving up for an RTX 4090 laptop just so I can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and Metro Exodus at max settings.
Stalker is like Band of Brothers. There are newer games, some have better graphics, some have better story. But from time to time you just rewatch BoB and play Stalker again, because they defined part of our identity.
It is true that there has been a rise in short form content with YT shorts and TikTok and all. But there has also been a rise in long form content, like all the 8 hour long video essays and channels like Wendigoon taking off.
Haven't been paying much attention to this channel the last months, but for the last few days I've been binge watching a lot of your stuff. So this video makes me pretty happy right now :D Greetings from a german fan.
Haven't gotten into gamma yet, still playing anomaly. Was trying to 100% it for a while on my main ecologist character and then I unlocked UNISG and it's a whole new storyline to play through which is basically the opposite experience of playing ecologist because only Mercs won't shoot you. So you have to get a disguise if you wanna visit any other factions. Wild how much content this game has. I've for sure put a few hundred hours in and I still feel like I'll find a new anomaly I never knew about
Loved the vid Drewski, enjoy hearing your stories in the zone. Always takes me back to my childhood when you reminisce about things. Keep doing what you're doing dude cause it's awesome
I love watching people play S.T.A.L.K.E.R I'm finishing the first game idk how because I'm scared of playing the game myself for some reason and can't make progress in the modded versions especially Anomaly
i think ppl that watch drewski or similar content actually enjoy the longer content way more. It's kinda hard to get immersed like that in a short video and i think alot of that content is build on immersion. Whether it's Squad, Stalker, Arma or DCS If it's not in a comedic setting those videos and games just work way better in longer formats imo. That being said I do think Drewski has mastered the perfect ratio of length and interesting content. It skips the "boring" parts like walking from A-B, cuts right to the good stuff but if there is a part that's not as action packed then he fills it with an interesting topic to talk about. Just all in all well put together, quality content!
In France we have "Coq au vin" and "Bœuf Bourguignon", it's chicken and beef cooked in wine. We also do crêpes with flaming "Grand Marnier", it s an orange flavor alcohol.
i love that you are becoming a stalker youtuber it is so nice to have reliable quality content on this game and I am so excited to watch the shadow of the zone
I watch your vids over my meals, kinda like putting on a movie with food, and I normally watch all the way through when im not asked by friends to hop on, or got something else to do.
So i heared the call of The Zone a few days ago, went with installing EFP 4.0. Unfortunately i did not like the changes, so i decided to give GAMMA a look. Before installing, wanted to see some gameplay videos. One of the most important things for me, gun sounds at 2:20, already made me want to play GAMMA. Thanks Drewski, your vids are great. Hope for more Stalker content.
@@blackburn1489 Hard, immersive and amazing. Graphics are fantastic, the AI can really kick you ass, and the sense of progression is very deep (weapons, armor, tools etc.) Game really forces me to pick my fights, be more tactical and cultivate the "survive to fight another day" attitude. I love it. Game rewards for taking risks, but also punishes stupid decisions. Currently i play as Duty, had some really intense firefights which i somehow survived. Thought about restarting, even maybe as a Loner, but once i got the hang of things like reparing weapons/armor i got even more hooked.
Life is good! I’m on lay off for the winter, perks of Minnesota 😝 passed two days I’ve watched all your gamma videos been playing a bout a week now. Boy is it tough. Makes me give you super props for surviving as long as you did on iron man Oofta. Love your videos. Your videos are actually why I got a pc and played tarkov. Took me two whole days to figure out how to download this dang game though!!
Genuinely love the long form Stalker content. Made me turn alerts on for the channel. Didn't poop while watching it but enjoyed it deeply. Shorts suck and this rules.
19:40 - almost. The 970 was advertised as having 4gb of vram, but it was 32 bit, so it could only access 3.5 of it. I still use mine in a system almost identical to your old one, with a 4770K and GTX 970.
22:38 - they scream "sily protivnika", mwhjich means "enemy forces", "pokrytiye" means "cover me". 45:47 - "pomagitya" means "help me". "No, Privet" mean "so, welcome" or "well, welcome".
I've been watching your stalker vids while i take breaks from stalkering. Thanks for turning me on to gamma, can't believe this has existed so long while I've just been replaying vanilla stalker lol
Ive only experienced pitch black darkness like your story about the truck once and it was fairly recently. The power to the factory went out and they sent everyone home apart from the engineering team for insurance reasons (needed to have at least 2 people there) Anyway the inside of this factory floor area has no windows and is a couple rooms deep into the building and this was a nightshift. I held my hand out in front of my face about 2cm away from my eyes and couldnt see it at all it was very weird and until you experience it you dont know real darkness like its crazy
I would absolutely watch this for four hours. Especially on those days where I have a crap tone of down time. I love your play style and it's helped me refine my own.
More Stalker, lets click on it 3x in a row! I think I found you because of DCS, as a Stalker fan I think you are one of the top Content Creators right now!
since youve uploaded the stalker vids a while ago, i installed GAMMA and ive been hooked on it since. maybe 2 weeks worth basically nonstop. i had some anomaly experience before, but this takes it to another level. been enjoying it and your stalker vids!
Drewski, you can turn on the laser on the weapons that have it if you keep pressed the same key you use for the headlamp, you only have to equip it and press the key a couple seconds, same thing to turn it off .
Hey, man. Nice to see you keep posting these. I've saved the playlist so it's always nice when I revisit and there's new content. Thanks for making these! Also, appreciating the commentary and the fun you're having. gl with the movie
Well Fallout 4 has massive amounts of mods that can completely change the game. And we also have DLC size mods like "Falout London". The modding scene of Fallout is insane. You could actually pretty easily make a Stalker-like game in Fallout with mods
Nvidia lied about 970 having 4GB, it's actually 3,5gb connected fully and 0,5gb connected to gpu through lesser bandwidth or something along those lines. They did it in order to make the gap between 970 and 980 more noticeable without having to change the amount of memory installed, I think. And "Lovi, vrag Monolita" 21:50 is a grenade throw warning. "Catch it, enemy of the Monolith" is a rough translation. "Pomogyite" means "Help me" 45:38

My brother, father, and I would go hunting in the Colorado Rockies annually. I vividly remember many times when we would step outside of our tent or pop-up camper in the middle of the night to piss, turn off our headlamps, and just see the big band of stars of the entire Milky Way going across the sky. Quite literally the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed, it never gets old.

"Lovi, vrag Monolita" = "Catch that, the enemy of Monolith". When you hear that - run away, take cover and hope they can't throw a grenade that far.

Але тим, хто перебуває там, на полі бою найважче. Тому й не скаржусь. Але жити усе таки важче тут. Багато хто втратив роботу, у тому числі і я, у якого була домовленість на літо. Зима буде важкою. Але, перемога за нами
After that "story" you still complain that youre getting a low pay...?
Lot of places you could have stayed before reaching here you know.
But i think this is just clout chasing rubbish.
If your life is improved and your career is moving in the right direction, you should probably be grateful to February events which you call 'invasion'. Ukrainians are very strange people indeed :)
@@dimon5891 Only a psychopath will be happy that his career was successful because of the events that led to the death of tens of thousands of people.
46:00 - imagine to see a deadly injured man with all this blood around who can't do literally anything but just call his mom for help. What an awful feeling... Even if this is just a game.
yeah that gun shot and hit sfx really made me uneasy after seeing that. Its sad really but thats just how it is in the zone.
Watching you play stalker gamma is like crack. Every time you post one of these i literally just stop doing everything else. Keep up the good work your video are extremely entertaining
For anyone wondering, to remove the DOF when healing/reloading/eating. You gotta go in Mod Configs in the Pause menu, then go all the way down to something called SSS (if I remember correctly). And then you have the option to remove that DOF there, its not the main DOF of the game itself. You're welcome
Can't wait to play Gamma. Will start it after playing through the 3 original stalker games in the order of release to get a feel for the story and setting.
Having an absolutely terrible day at work, pop some earbuds in and work while listening to you play and talk about your life stories and other games and stuff makes it so much better. Please don't stop making long format videos that I can listen to and not be 100% compelled to watch.
Love the long content, gives me so much inspiration for my own anomaly playthroughs. Also love the "story time" while wandering the waste
At the end I was dying bro."whos talking?" Two taps all the bodies in the doorway😅😅😅
the latest update adding gun inertia and sounds, along with the shader update has just made this game even MORE beautiful than it was before-- I'm really glad people are picking up the series en masse, and really really really suggest anyone to read the book series and watch the movie
Man you bring some much memories with your talk about past, I remember Battlefield 4 also being my first proper multiplayer FPS, I also got it around the Christmas time, most of my friends at the time started from bf 3 or bad company 2 and it felt little bit sad to be lagging behind especially considering that at first I were terrible at it, but hearing you having the same experience even though it's a little thing and otherwise our upbringing were nothing alike makes me feel connected.
Damn that's what I like games and experience they share with wide variety of people for.
I love these longer videos. I'm in South Africa with Stage 6 Loadshedding at the time of writing this. I have 4 hours no power, 2 hours with, 4 hours not again. So I download the videos and watch on my phone. Helps keep my sanity
this is like you really at the zone, talking to your self, remembering your childhood and your past, its the way you cope while walking through the zone
I love seeing you play this game Drewski! Somehow I can never replicate how you make the game seem like a story playing out whenever I play haha
Fallout 4 has the FROST mod, that's probably the biggest "overhaul" type of mod for it that I know of. Changes the setting into a nuclear-winter shortly after the War, completely rebalances gameplay on several fronts, has its own story and progression separate from the base game. It leans into "hardcore survival" much more than the normal game.
There's of course hundreds of mods you can use in conjunction to essentially overhaul Fallout 4 into whatever you want. Last I checked I had over 200 installed at once.
30:50 When I started my new playthrough in Cordon today, I actually encountered a pseudogiant at this point... the game really doesn't make it easy.
Same happened to me a few weeks ago...so not cool man.
@OperatorDrewski Thank you first off for making these awesome videos of a game I have played since Clear Sky. My first computer was a Pentium 166, and I got Battlefield 1942 DEMO from PC World Magazine. GAMMA is the BEST game out there today, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for being the one that showed it to me. I did try out Anomaly years ago, but have been having a lot of fun lately with the new .9 update.
“is he goated wit da sauce?”
*shot*
“awh”
Dude, I'm usually not into Stalker "default" gameplay videos - but this is something special. Truly a joy to watch.
Cheeki breeki guy is great as well :)
jeez scp now a stalker film, im starting to think drewski has alot of power in the fan movie production community
This playthrough was relatively tame. I'm playing through EFP right now. I'm on day 18 and as I was working my way through the swamps to the Clear sky base, my team and I got swarmed by about 30 zombies, 8 boars, 2 bloodsuckers, and a psysucker. The firefight lasted more than a half hour and I blew through the ammo on my PPsH and my primary pistol and swapped to my backup .45. Once we got to the Clear Sky base we got attacked by another 6 lurkers and 2 chimeras. I'm almost out of ammo, down to 3 mags on my SVT and 3 mags on my M1911 and need to get back to the cordon to resupply. I'm running Dynamic mutants and have been making the game harder for myself every few days.
its really cool, as a Czech that you can hear very similiar words to Czech from all the slavic languages such as polish, ukranian, russian etc... for example "protivnika" - 22:12 is pretty much "protivník" (in Czech) or "Já raněn" wich means "im hit" or "Im hurt" :D
That’s why it was possible to build the interslavic. For those unaware that’s an attempt to unify all slavic people via a common language. ‘Protivnik’ also means enemy in Serbian, ‘ja ranjen’ - I am wounded too. It’s also the same in Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrian etc.
btw I'm guessing in BF4 it says "obstril" (barrage?) protivnika, which sounds similar to hostile
@@tomeknaj 'Obstril' sounds very similar to 'odstrel' which literally means 'to take down'. So obstril protivnika, as a directive would mean 'take down that enemy' or 'I've taken down the enemy', it would depend on the context and the specific language variety.
I dont think there is a single aspect of fallout 4 that hasnt been modded. There are so many mods that change everything from the way you use items to core gameplay mechanics. SimSettlements for example, MRE, eat off the floor, realistic bullets, ferns of the commonwealth etc etc. I currently run a modded fallout where nothing is properly bullet proof, a 9mm to the noggin kills you and zombies spawn in wandering hordes. New ai, MUCH darker nights and interiors, peronal vertibird transports etc.
HI, I love your DCS videos, thanks for posting. Have a great day, you have something special in you, keep the good shit up. I all ways get to take something good away with me when I watch your videos.
You can favorite items in your inventory and they'll always appear at the top. Makes it easier to see your ammo/medicine/food/repair-tools status and also makes it easier to sell all the unuseful stuff.
я русский и это очень круто смотреть тебя и слушать твои рассказы, твой монтаж не напрягающий. Я сам имею более 1000 часов в аномали и в общем ты молодец, удачи тебе )
I love the longer form videos you have been putting up almost like a weekly episode of a show except it's out favorite streamers
I love this content!!! And now can't stop playing Gamma because of you lol
I'd always assumed that rather than boiling the vodka, they soaked in vodka like some kind of cursed marinade for a while then grilled it on the flame. That would (according to stalker logic, where vodka has magic anti-rad properties) still serve to "purify" the radiation out of the meat, right?
Honestly it's probably going to suck either way, but it's a game of how much less you can make it suck.
Best game ever created, people behind mod community are so talented, this is a masterpiece!
Yo Drew there's actually a big mod pack / overhaul for Fallout 4 based on STALKER called Lost World, might be worth a look. Thanks for the video dude, I'm an old STALKER fan and your adventures have been a good time. Take care!
Always happy to see more from you, been pretty good lately, got to see Almost Queen on Friday...damn good Queen tribute band, Hung out in an online con just enjoying the good music and panels. Now back to work at a job I don't hate.
I'm downloading the required files and following the install tutorial now. It's 3:54am here. I can't wait to play this. Pretty sure I love modding and playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. more than I do Skyrim. I'm saving up for an RTX 4090 laptop just so I can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and Metro Exodus at max settings.
one of the developers of this game was slain in ukraine. Rest in peace soldier.
Stalker is like Band of Brothers. There are newer games, some have better graphics, some have better story. But from time to time you just rewatch BoB and play Stalker again, because they defined part of our identity.
У меня так же)
RIP to that developer of STALKER who died defending the Ukraine
🫡
I like how Drewski starts the movie or vid in combat and start his intro while hes being shot at😂
4:00 the way the video becomes grainy because of the radiation is amazing detail for the mod
I thought the game was glitching when I first started playing
You got me to reinstall this and boy is it fun as ever!
I am curious what your graphics settings are, as it looks stunning.
It is true that there has been a rise in short form content with YT shorts and TikTok and all. But there has also been a rise in long form content, like all the 8 hour long video essays and channels like Wendigoon taking off.
Dude! Please do not try vodka boiled meet IRL. Believe a Ukrainian, just don't. )
Lots of nausea?
@@webby8950 lots of "wtf why why no god please no no"
@@MrEricoze oh. Stay away from, thank you very much… 💀
Now that just makes me really qurious@@MrEricoze
Have you tried to boil food with vodka?
Haven't been paying much attention to this channel the last months, but for the last few days I've been binge watching a lot of your stuff. So this video makes me pretty happy right now :D Greetings from a german fan.
For a second I thought you were actually in the Chernobyl exclusion zone xD. Btw I think youshould do a roleplay vlog like video in stalker
Kinda yeah
Haven't gotten into gamma yet, still playing anomaly. Was trying to 100% it for a while on my main ecologist character and then I unlocked UNISG and it's a whole new storyline to play through which is basically the opposite experience of playing ecologist because only Mercs won't shoot you. So you have to get a disguise if you wanna visit any other factions. Wild how much content this game has. I've for sure put a few hundred hours in and I still feel like I'll find a new anomaly I never knew about
I can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2!
Remember that this is what the community wanted of stalker to be, stalker 2 highly will not even be a quarter of what gamma gives
@@MorweenTBX I can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 G.A.M.M.A. !
@@MorweenTBX Still gonna be good, then wait for the mods.
Loved the vid Drewski, enjoy hearing your stories in the zone. Always takes me back to my childhood when you reminisce about things. Keep doing what you're doing dude cause it's awesome
I hope you get adequate sleep bro. I stay up too late to game, but I have kids so am constantly tired. My PC gaming addiction is real. So very tired.
I love watching people play S.T.A.L.K.E.R I'm finishing the first game idk how because I'm scared of playing the game myself for some reason and can't make progress in the modded versions especially Anomaly
I love this series!
Love the long-form content. These videos are always so gripping, I hadn't even realized half an hour had passed when you mentioned it!
hey Drewski, Whats your settings for gamma? ive been trying to get it to look nice and run smoothly but it still kinda struggles
i think ppl that watch drewski or similar content actually enjoy the longer content way more. It's kinda hard to get immersed like that in a short video and i think alot of that content is build on immersion. Whether it's Squad, Stalker, Arma or DCS If it's not in a comedic setting those videos and games just work way better in longer formats imo.
That being said I do think Drewski has mastered the perfect ratio of length and interesting content.
It skips the "boring" parts like walking from A-B, cuts right to the good stuff but if there is a part that's not as action packed then he fills it with an interesting topic to talk about.
Just all in all well put together, quality content!
What are your graphic settings? Your game looks gorgeous.
Agreed, I want to know as well
In France we have "Coq au vin" and "Bœuf Bourguignon", it's chicken and beef cooked in wine. We also do crêpes with flaming "Grand Marnier", it s an orange flavor alcohol.
i love that you are becoming a stalker youtuber it is so nice to have reliable quality content on this game
and I am so excited to watch the shadow of the zone
I watch your vids over my meals, kinda like putting on a movie with food, and I normally watch all the way through when im not asked by friends to hop on, or got something else to do.
So i heared the call of The Zone a few days ago, went with installing EFP 4.0. Unfortunately i did not like the changes, so i decided to give GAMMA a look. Before installing, wanted to see some gameplay videos. One of the most important things for me, gun sounds at 2:20, already made me want to play GAMMA. Thanks Drewski, your vids are great. Hope for more Stalker content.
so, how is it going?)
@@blackburn1489 Hard, immersive and amazing. Graphics are fantastic, the AI can really kick you ass, and the sense of progression is very deep (weapons, armor, tools etc.) Game really forces me to pick my fights, be more tactical and cultivate the "survive to fight another day" attitude. I love it. Game rewards for taking risks, but also punishes stupid decisions. Currently i play as Duty, had some really intense firefights which i somehow survived. Thought about restarting, even maybe as a Loner, but once i got the hang of things like reparing weapons/armor i got even more hooked.
Life is good! I’m on lay off for the winter, perks of Minnesota 😝 passed two days I’ve watched all your gamma videos been playing a bout a week now. Boy is it tough. Makes me give you super props for surviving as long as you did on iron man Oofta. Love your videos. Your videos are actually why I got a pc and played tarkov. Took me two whole days to figure out how to download this dang game though!!
Genuinely love the long form Stalker content. Made me turn alerts on for the channel. Didn't poop while watching it but enjoyed it deeply. Shorts suck and this rules.
19:40 - almost. The 970 was advertised as having 4gb of vram, but it was 32 bit, so it could only access 3.5 of it. I still use mine in a system almost identical to your old one, with a 4770K and GTX 970.
Love these longer videos. I've already watched the anomaly playthrough twice now. Just so good. Can't get enough.
👍
22:38 - they scream "sily protivnika", mwhjich means "enemy forces", "pokrytiye" means "cover me". 45:47 - "pomagitya" means "help me". "No, Privet" mean "so, welcome" or "well, welcome".
I've been watching your stalker vids while i take breaks from stalkering. Thanks for turning me on to gamma, can't believe this has existed so long while I've just been replaying vanilla stalker lol
Ive only experienced pitch black darkness like your story about the truck once and it was fairly recently. The power to the factory went out and they sent everyone home apart from the engineering team for insurance reasons (needed to have at least 2 people there) Anyway the inside of this factory floor area has no windows and is a couple rooms deep into the building and this was a nightshift. I held my hand out in front of my face about 2cm away from my eyes and couldnt see it at all it was very weird and until you experience it you dont know real darkness like its crazy
I would absolutely watch this for four hours. Especially on those days where I have a crap tone of down time. I love your play style and it's helped me refine my own.
More Stalker, lets click on it 3x in a row!
I think I found you because of DCS, as a Stalker fan I think you are one of the top Content Creators right now!
since youve uploaded the stalker vids a while ago, i installed GAMMA and ive been hooked on it since. maybe 2 weeks worth basically nonstop. i had some anomaly experience before, but this takes it to another level. been enjoying it and your stalker vids!
Drewski, you can turn on the laser on the weapons that have it if you keep pressed the same key you use for the headlamp, you only have to equip it and press the key a couple seconds, same thing to turn it off
.
Hey, man. Nice to see you keep posting these. I've saved the playlist so it's always nice when I revisit and there's new content. Thanks for making these! Also, appreciating the commentary and the fun you're having. gl with the movie
32:50 Frost, absolutely Frost
15:53 thanks for the sound warning, I tought it was for the door tough, and put my headset back on :D
Well Fallout 4 has massive amounts of mods that can completely change the game. And we also have DLC size mods like "Falout London". The modding scene of Fallout is insane. You could actually pretty easily make a Stalker-like game in Fallout with mods
I found your channel recently and I'm really enjoying it. Long form content will always beat shorts for me.
37:38 Why did that catch me off guard so much. Literally the funniest part of the video to me for some reason.
I like the long-format videos on your channel as well. You're very good at narration and I think that's what makes it work so well.
Nvidia lied about 970 having 4GB, it's actually 3,5gb connected fully and 0,5gb connected to gpu through lesser bandwidth or something along those lines. They did it in order to make the gap between 970 and 980 more noticeable without having to change the amount of memory installed, I think. And "Lovi, vrag Monolita" 21:50 is a grenade throw warning. "Catch it, enemy of the Monolith" is a rough translation. "Pomogyite" means "Help me" 45:38
