Am I the only one who's been killed countless times because if you try firing the Sawed off shotgun before the weapon fully registers as being reloaded it decides to just reload again?
Oh man, I’d be livid if that happened to me haha, I only used the sawed off during the beginning quest and once I got an automatic rifle I never went back
No. No you are not. I’ve been livid about that and I was surprised more people weren’t complaining about it online when I was looking it up but at least I eventually figured out the reason even though it is still ridiculously annoying. Another thing driving me nuts to is the inability to switch between shotgun shells and slugs. I tried everything, unloading first and pressing change ammo but it always just combines both of my ammo types into one big pool and the only way I can tell what I’ve actually been shooting is by the number of each ammo after the fight when I open my inventory and of course it’s all of my slugs being used up when after I’d been trying so hard to save them. I just had to give up on it. And don’t even get me started on the sneaking and bandit spawning either. Wth is going on with that?An absolutely unreasonable amount of bandits just spawn and endlessly accumulate for me in Garbage and around Aprogrom and then second I restart and try to think of how I could possibly sneak past them, the AI hears my thoughts and a million bullets rain down on me like I’m being targeted by miniguns. I was getting so pissed off about all of this stuff before that I couldn’t even sleep. There were no answers to give me solace online. No help or anybody to relate to for any of the particular problems I was searching to google about and couldn’t find. My frustration was killing me. I am bald and wrinkled now when literally just three days ago I was a normal looking 20 year old dude

I remember one being able to heal a stalker. 4 or 5 Battery ( Electrical ) artifacts neutralize all Electro Anomalies. 4 or 5 Battery ( Burn ) artifacts neutralize all Burner Anomalies. This includes stepping into any campfire too. 4 or 5 Spring artifacts neutralize all Gravitational Anomalies. 4 or 5 Pellicle artifacts neutralize all Chemical Anomalies.
@@ReadyF0RHeady I believe you should play the games in chronological order (Clear Sky, Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat) but I know not a lot of people like Clear Sky, so I think playing them in release order is fine.
@@ReadyF0RHeady Play all three, but the first one (Shadow of C) is awesome for the story and lore building, the second just because it's STALKER (even if not the most popular one), and the third because it's the most polished of the three. I've played them so many times I now play STALKER Anomaly, which is a heavily modded remake and worth looking into if you need MORE STALKER after you play the three to your liking.
_Totally_ different to Fallout in many ways. Personally I think it has way better atmosphere and worldbuilding, and the FPS mechanics are superior. There are _so many_ modpacks for this game/franchise. Some of them leave the overall game mechanics/progression untouched if you want the vanilla experience as the devs intended, but just polish up a lot of the bugs/jank and improve the dated graphics a fair bit. Others (like 'Anomaly') completely overhaul everything and combine the first 3 titles into a whole new experience with a shit-ton of added features and upgrades. Some purists will argue it's best to experience the games as first intended though... 🤷♀ TBF: For a first timer I think STALKER: Call of Pripyat is much more accessible, not to mention more polished (even unmodded) than Shadow of Chernobyl. CoP is definitely my favourite of the original game trilogy (i.e. Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat).
Yep, like others side, not much comparison to fallout other than the apocalypse setting. Stalker is closer to metro than anything, and that’s only because metro even the original book was heavily inspired by roadside picnic, which is the book stalker itself is based on. And the og metro 2033 gameplay and atmosphere takes a lot from stalker
I gave up literally 5 meters away from the wish granter due to dying from radiation, couldn’t be bothered to do it again and load a save so I stopped playing as I was going to have a heart attack from raging 💀
Pro tip for pacifist run: -drop a save -charge in -gun jams and you die (guess they use raspberry jam instead of gun oil) - reload game and the enemy is now friendly, trade all you want -as you wave goodbye from safe distance they realize they don't like you and try to attack, but too late 😎
I never originally finished Clear Sky tbf and just moved onto Call of Pripyat, which IMO is the best of the three. Been playing a lot of GAMMA recently though - that modpack, damn... takes STALKER to a whole next next level 🙂
@@DodgyDaveGTXCoP is too small and too short. CS is the best in my opinion. CoP is more shooter and less like the other two. Yes, more polished but definitely needs mods like the rest.
@@ZONDER228thats the fault of the mod which added such guns. Gamma is just a lot of mods stitched together and some thrown to the side as optional things to add
@@krisisgaming yes if you play stalker shadows of chernobyl and add ZRP mod. ZRP stands for Zone Reclaimation Project. It fixes the bugs in the game which the devs couldnt. And tweaks the game. And adds the sleep feature. This feature was supposed to be in the first game. It was cut. Lot of things were cut..vehicles, minigun, few mutants etc.
I got out of PC gaming just as this was originally released and had always wanted to play it. All these years later all 3 games out on PS5 is a dream come true.
@@krisisgaming It is. Admittedly I ended up quitting the game for a couple of days because I kept getting killed in the bandit camp in Cordon, but then I stopped playing like the game was Doom and stayed up for almost 2 days playing because I was hooked. Now I’m replaying for the trophies for SoC. Looking forward to playing the rest.
Pro tip. There is a merc suit in the village. And you can bypass bridge going on the right. If you save 20 000 RU before helping Nimble, you can buy unique Groza aka S14 Tunder from Sid with AK ammo. Original was pretty easy actually. Search for stashes and you will be fine.
Yikes, don’t take it personal, I usually have to play games twice because of missing key details in the story, so I apologise of the summary is that off haha
@@krisisgamingI've played STALKER off and on since SoC first dropped and I wasn't triggered. Too busy chuckling at your use of the English lexicon to describe your experience of this balls in a vice but somehow enjoyable gaming experience.
STALKER SoC is a timeless masterpiece. I've put tens of THOUSANDS of hours into the series since 2007. ... but tell me one thing: why do sooo many newbies play on the DirectX8 "static lighting" mode?
Fantastic video. Glad you had fun with this amazing game. I played all the three games, and had put considerable hours into Anomaly, and this is still my favourite one. Clear Sky, not so much. Call of Pripyat is the most polished one, but SoC nails the atmosphere so well, even if the game is bullshit early on and frustrating at times. Great video! Subscribed!
I've played through Clear Sky and am not half way through CoP, but CoP doesn't have the same feeling like the other two do. SoC is definitely one of the better ones
This game rules. I've loved it since the game came out. When you start getting guns with some accuracy you almost feel an RPG like progression. But even still having that bullet deviation adds so much tension and uncertainty Only souls gave have me this on edge. A truly great game.
My experience with souls games is how i stuck it out haha, because so many people have told me that this game was too hard and frankly once you get better equipment, itll feel like night and day
@31:12 "I could finally sleep without angry Russians yelling at me." Reminds me of when I moved out on my own. Good times... Молодец, СТАЛКЕР! Good job on struggling through this crazy game. I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it; I certainly enjoyed watching you try it.
The simulated bullet dispersion in the early hobo phase of these games is brutal, your shitty Soviet handgun barely being able to hit where you’re aiming definitely makes it harder, but by the end of the game you have laser beams that literally make it a breeze
I was so shocked when i found Gordon Freemans body at that tunnel with those few logs in his pda....many moment that just stick with you long after you leave the Zone😎 great to see more n more fellow stalkers over the years, cheeki breeki bro
Did. Did you say. Whack ass aiming? Stalker has some of the best original gun play and physics to it’s bullets without mods installed. Just because you suck doesn’t mean the aiming does.
I learned that more so in my second play though, the upgrade sign, I had one of the earlier assault rifles with a faster fire rate and it did amazing haha
@@krisisgaming there is a bunch of hidden upgraded weapons in the world so check every inch, also in the rookie village at the start of the game the last house on the left has merc Armor in a box on the roof, that helps early game too.
I bought the game yesterday for ps4 and i really like it so far. Died a number of times in the first quest which was annoying and found the bandits near the factory? The place with the electric anomaly so thats fun.
one question did you used full dynamic lightning on the graphics menu? how was your experience also did you noticed any problems on trees when rotating the camera looking at the sky(ex: flikering pixelated and weird shadows when moving or waling?, the reason im asking is because im on ultrawide and i cannot find a solution to this, it could be a problem on ultrawide/ widescreens.
I didn’t use the dynamic lighting here, I actually got flamed for not using it in the comments haha. But I can also say I never say any weird screen flickers during my time either, this could just be that it’s an older game that wasn’t made with widescreen in mind, but the modding community is also massive for SoC, so I’ll see if I can’t find a mod to fix this for you :)
@krisisgaming hmm Nice what monitor did you used for your experience i totaly agree this game must have looked amazing on 4:3 monitors, i wonder how is the imagem quality on old CRT TVs, i still have some CRT around ill try experience In the future. Just need a converter haha.thank you for your response Im curently playing all the stalker games In order, since stalker 2 is releasing patches i decided to try the zone on the order games just to learn a bit about the story ignoring some bugs this game is addicting, some missions can be very hard as well ,but enjoying every moment, thank you buddy have a great day👍
I would advise after finishing trilogy to try couple standalone mods, like lost alpha, oblivion lost remake, lost alpha took old unreleased cut content added few they're own zones and custom story, few new things like driving car, its great mod, story might be meh but still great mod in my opinion, oblivion lost in other hand trying to restore unreleased version of old stalker build before even was called stalker game but oblivion lost game, they basically restoring things based on old videos, files and other things, also the also atmosphere is much different, you feel more isolated, there are less human presence in the world, you feel more lonely, tasks doesn't show where things are, they only mention buildings where things can be found, like "Go north and you see train tracks, on the right side there is tower and on top you will find file" you basically need to read for finding objective things, there is no green mark like in oroginal trilogy where to go showing, it feels more like old rpg games without hand holding and markers, similar to old world of warcraft games
I just started my first playthrough. I went into that tunnel with the electric shit and just thought fuck this and just sprinted through the army checkpoint while they were firing on other stalkers 😂 When I came back they were angry at me so I spent the next half an hour or so trying to kill them with shitty weapons and quick loading and trying again and again and again. It felt so good when I finally killed all of them and got their gear 😎😀 This seems like a great game and I'm sure it will give me hours upon hours of entertainment!
HELLO FELLOW STALKER! Welcome to the Zone my friend! Come, have a sit down and drink some energy drink, chew on some doctor sausage and babushka's day old bread. It is Stalkers breakfast! Oh and don't forget the Vodka. Can't forget to always bring Vodka. COME! COME SQUAT BY FIRE AS GUSTAV PLAYS GUITAR!
@@krisisgaming You were playing on the DirectX8 mode. Meaning you made it look half a decade older than it needs to. SoC was a true DX9 Deferred Rendering flagship title back in 2007. Those dynamic lights and shadows + heavy use of bumpmapping made it super atmospheric, at times outright photorealistic experience.
Quick question: why are you, and so many newbies in general, always playing SoC with the uglier DirectX8 mode (Static Lighting)? I mean sure, it's not awful, and kinda was made for it originally, but the DX9 Full dynamic lighting mode makes the game looks sooo much more modern and more atmospheric. What comes to aiming and all that, people don't seem to realize that STALKER uses bullet physics, on top of playing like a gear-oriented "RPG". This means that even if you aim down sights, guns never become laser-accurate, especially at distance. Things like rusty pocket pistols and sawn-off shotguns are borderline useless past ~30 meters, and have crap armor penetration to boot. Yet all the guns CAN 1-shot any human, even the player, if you hit them to the noggin. A skilled player can literally waltz all the way to Chernobyl NPP after the first few minutes!
Haha you’re not the first to point some of this out, I just played the game as it was, I didn’t touch the settings, that’s partially to blame that I don’t usually play older games and most newer ones set the settings automatically, but don’t worry, I’m clear sky, I did change the lighting, I promise haha
*Chews on Doctors sausage and drinks energy drink* I don't think this Stalker is going to be ok with Clear Sky friend. He needs to be more Cheeki Breeki. *Drinks seven bottles of Cossacks and passes out in a ditch of Anomalies*
You might be the only person ı've ever seen who actively goes for bodyshots instead of headshots in this game pro tip both for Stalker and other games like CS, always go for headshots.
@@krisisgaming also the C-consciousness has nothing to do with the goverment at all they are a self-serving group ... unless you meant that as a joke then in that case ı guess ı have no sense of humour.
Hello from Ukraine! You've made a good video, but I wanna add something. Could you please change in your video name Chernobyl on Chornobyl? Because Chornobyl is the correct name of the city. Chernobyl is the russian version, but this city is located in Ukraine
Sorry if you mentioned it in the video and i missed it, but did you have any trouble booting the game up? I cant get the game to open via steam without crashing right away
Odd, the only think I noticed was my fans kicked on in my pc, which was concerning since this is an older game, I did crash maybe once or twice but never when it booted up , have you tried verifying your files through steam?
@@krisisgaming The fans kicking in is because of the game's unlocked framerate. During loading and FMVs, your GPU can push out THOUSANDS of frames, which is not good. Lock the framerate by forcing Vsync or forced framerate cap. Also switch to DX9 Full Dynamic lighting mode; you're not only making the game uglier than it needs to be, but also making your GPU work overtime.
Yeah I had that issue too, use screen capture instead of game capture , I used this with stream labs and obs and it works fine, just make sure the resolution and your canvas size match and you’re all set :)
@@krisisgaming I have tried this and it sadly didn’t work for me, oh well it’s fine I wasn’t planning on making anything with it but would like to recreate the first time I encountered the bloodsucker.
@@Derglesnaf you’ve tried streamlabs and obs? The only other thing I could think of would be to make a new scene for the screen capture. Or try window capture maybe? I’ve been streaming clear sky and I promise you it does work , we just gotta figure out why it isn’t for you
an OG stalker fan out here) love this game! My friend showed me this game almost 5 yrs ago... from that period of time i played every game like 6-7 times with many different challenges + i know russian and ukrainian fluently what raised enjoyability. Man... i miss being dogshit in that game i am telling ya! btw, a little tip for every monster *dogs:danger level is low, i want to strangle them with my BARE HANDS most annoying monster because they swarm you and they are common. Especially in some hardcore mods they deal SHIT ton of damage. I HAVE ENAUGH of them bastards, literally kill them with whatever you can and also getting the high ground will do wonders. *pseudodogs: level is low to mid, dogs on steroids *pseudodogs(that spawn illusions): danger level is mid, every copy is dealing damage simular to normal one, so kill the main one as soon as possible! every copy has one hp and do not bleed, while actual one is bleeding and has hp of normal pseudodog. *boars: danger level is low to mid. hate them! they deal a ton of damage when you get hit in their "charging" phase but a high place would work well. just snipe with a long range or kill them with shotgun bruh. *flesh: danger level is under the bottom!! fr you just cant die to those! they die off quick and also pretty stupid most of the time,slow too. *bloodsuckers: danger level is mid(unless u see them faster then they can see you, so you can snipe them down while they are not aware)crazy bastards... annoying as hell! most of the time you should be just extra aware of random glitching air running at you, also the sound! the best way to know the bastard is coming is by listening your surroundings. *snorks: danger level is mid, they attack by jumping right at you. the best way way of dealing with them is by strafing left or right looking straight at them, they will charge into nothin(be sure there is no walls behind you). *controllers: danger level is mid to high, they are really annoying tbh... the best tip is to lean, shoot, hide, repeat. they can not pull you when you are out of sight, also you can cheese them by running straight into them and killing them close range(they cant pull you) *pseudogiants: danger level in original games:😊 danger level in mods:💀💀. do not let it get yo ass or else ur fucked, also it stomps so right before the stomp jump to negate the damage(does not work most of the time XD). grenades do literal wonders with this beast! try it. *poltergeists: danger level is low to mid. they detect you when you walk so staying still will make them do not notice you, but as soon as you will shoot it will detect it. the bigger object thrown into main character, the bigger damage it deal. just kill it with shotgun, or snipe it from distance. *flame poltergeists: danger level is mid, they detect you no matter what and will just spawn a flame directed at your location. I prefer killing them with shotgun running straight into it cuz the actual thing does not damage you. *rodents: danger level is under the bottom of the mariana trench, they are THAT fragile, you can kill them by literally throwing a grenade on its head. *[REDACTED]: danger level is high(but with the [REDACTED] strat it is pice of cake!) [REDACTED] attacks by [REDACTED] and because they simular to [REDACTED] in attack pattern they are EASY to avoid, by doing that they are harmless :) untill u get hit like a truck DX. *[REDACTED]: danger level is high, [REDACTED] on steroids and cocaine cuz they are literally [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] COMBINED... uh cheese them like [REDACTED]
There’s a lot of redacted at the bottom but thank you so much for taking the time to type this out, snorks gave me a huge run for my money, I’m pretty bad at aiming so then leaping caused a lot of grief. But I’m planning on playing the rest of the series in due time so I’m gonna save these notes so I don’t struggle in the later games :) thank you
10:28 Ah yes, rookie mistake number 1: equipping the useless health regen artifacts, because they have misleading stat bonus info. I hope you didn't wear those during gunfights since they make bullets hurt more.
really glad your enjoying the series but you should play stalker modded. it brings stalker to its peak and honestly i think modded stalker is going to be better than stalker 2 for awhile.
@@krisisgaming I like to think modded is honestly the intended experience. Overall it adds in many fixes and gameplay additions that are quite helpful. Like Skyrim or fallout honestly. Just look at the openxray project that’s being made for all 3 games also and check out ray of hope. It’s a multiplayer project for stalker that they’re gonna make in unreal engine 5. Looks like it’s gonna be great.
Aaaaand he played in static lighting, like everyone else. Switch static lighting to full dynamic lighting please. I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, but this new generation of PC gamers that doesn't spend a single second in the menus is driving me mad. Sorry this had to come on you, but at least the next time you play you'll have much better visuals...
@@deus_nsf no stress, do all of the other games in the series have that dynamic lighting? Is the a setting that newer games have? I pretty much only play fallout as of late so I don’t usually check settings besides lowering graphics or changing audio
@@krisisgaming Yes they do and it's even worse, it is slightly better explain/shown though. It has a lot of set something and restart the game and new graphical options appear in the advanced menu too, or sneaky things to scroll almost like hidden options! It's a bit of a mess.
I've just started playing this week and was really enjoying running and knifing everyone until I died. Made it to the garage zone dam I'm happy I finally got to try stalker.
@@krisisgaming That's how it seems to go 🤣 I think in my current playthrough of Clear Sky I'm sitting on close to 50 medkits, but I'm at the final gauntlet of a mission, there are no vendors, and no turning back. I can only hope I have enough 😆
@@krisisgaming a lot of people have labeled it the worst in the series, but I really enjoy it. Good luck S.T.A.L.K.E.R, may your journeys in The Zone be profitable.
@@krisisgamingsome long time Stalker players get touchy about this for some reason. Personally I consider it on par with other post apocalyptic media. But technically there was no apocalypse. This is an isolated event that doesn’t wipe out mankind or anything so it’s not post apocalyptic if we want to get nitpicky about it.
@@krisisgaming Zone is literally an exceptional, closed zone of alienation. Rest of the world is living their sweet lives as it is. Read the Roadside Picnic book.
For the money i paid for the trilogy all 3 games youd think they would have redone the graphics alot better 😅itd be appreciated for sure but regardless its nice to beable to play these titles
The graphics in the OG games are gorgeous. Don't be a turbo graphix whore that cries about 2007-2010 PC games, kiddos! Besides, this video is running on the older DirectX8 mode.
'Chernobyl' is the Russian translated spelling. Chornobyl is the Ukranian one. As GSC is a Ukrainian developer, it makes sense for them to use Ukrainian localisation. Since the war between Russia and Ukraine, GSC has been using 'Chornobyl' instead of 'Chernobyl' in their game titles to make the distinction between the two countries.

-drop a save
-charge in
-gun jams and you die (guess they use raspberry jam instead of gun oil)

I never originally finished Clear Sky tbf and just moved onto Call of Pripyat, which IMO is the best of the three.
Been playing a lot of GAMMA recently though - that modpack, damn... takes STALKER to a whole next next level 🙂
@@DodgyDaveGTXvanilla Clear Sky is the best STALKER experience, mods and vanilla included
@@DodgyDaveGTX also playing gamma! the only issue is the gun miss placement in npc's hands which annoys tf outta me
@@DodgyDaveGTXCoP is too small and too short. CS is the best in my opinion. CoP is more shooter and less like the other two. Yes, more polished but definitely needs mods like the rest.
@@ZONDER228thats the fault of the mod which added such guns. Gamma is just a lot of mods stitched together and some thrown to the side as optional things to add
Im surprised he doesn't have headlight to see in the dark
I did but didn’t learn got to use it until a couple missions in haha
Just got the collection on ps5 and I’m loving it! It crashes here and there but I’m invested.
Hell yeah! Glad you’re enjoying it
Those are features. Anomalies infecting your device. It's part of the STALKER experience!
Guys how the hell do you take a nap? It doesn't appear to be any kind of command next to beds
You can't on vanilla so I'm told.
Taking naps is a thing ?!?
@@krisisgaming yes if you play stalker shadows of chernobyl and add ZRP mod. ZRP stands for Zone Reclaimation Project. It fixes the bugs in the game which the devs couldnt. And tweaks the game. And adds the sleep feature. This feature was supposed to be in the first game. It was cut. Lot of things were cut..vehicles, minigun, few mutants etc.
And in vanilla game only in Call of Pripyat have it
Lmao walking into an anomaly just to see what will happen must be a universal experience
I swear i do it in ever STALKER game haha
I got out of PC gaming just as this was originally released and had always wanted to play it. All these years later all 3 games out on PS5 is a dream come true.
I hope its everything you've ever thought it would be
@@krisisgaming It is. Admittedly I ended up quitting the game for a couple of days because I kept getting killed in the bandit camp in Cordon, but then I stopped playing like the game was Doom and stayed up for almost 2 days playing because I was hooked. Now I’m replaying for the trophies for SoC. Looking forward to playing the rest.
But missing out on gaming fixing mods that have ejection ports, charging handles, and selector switches moved to the correct side.
Why the hell would you "get out" of PC gaming and switch to scambox consoles in the year of our lord 2010+15??
Pro tip. There is a merc suit in the village. And you can bypass bridge going on the right. If you save 20 000 RU before helping Nimble, you can buy unique Groza aka S14 Tunder from Sid with AK ammo. Original was pretty easy actually. Search for stashes and you will be fine.
Thats so cool! Ill make sure to try this out next time
Glad you enjoyed your stay in the zone
Good hunting, Stalker
I’m keen to tackle the rest of the series
this video's awesome, i'm playing it for the first time now
It took me a while to play this series my self, but I agree , it’s fantastic
Best trilogy ever.
Still running through CoP but its great!
Batman Arkham trilogy and bioshock trilogy were the best.
Well as a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. regular the interpretation of the lore makes me want to tear my eyes out, but that's about the right experience.
Yikes, don’t take it personal, I usually have to play games twice because of missing key details in the story, so I apologise of the summary is that off haha
Womp Womp
@@krisisgamingI've played STALKER off and on since SoC first dropped and I wasn't triggered. Too busy chuckling at your use of the English lexicon to describe your experience of this balls in a vice but somehow enjoyable gaming experience.
19:49 bro doesn't know about hotkeys for medkits and bandages...
Not his fault that the game doesn't tell you that. Which is good tbh no hand holding.
>Scamrovich
Damn right on that, Marked One
i started playing this game for the very first time today on PlayStation4 and IM in love with this game。❤
Its pretty solid! A little rough to get going, but once yore in it, its amazing
Man I bought this game on PC when It first released and never got to finish it! Gonna definitely buy for ps4!
Hell yeah! I hope you get to finish it, it’s a great ride from beginning to end
lol if you saved fox you would have gotten a cash reward
STALKER SoC is a timeless masterpiece. I've put tens of THOUSANDS of hours into the series since 2007.
... but tell me one thing: why do sooo many newbies play on the DirectX8 "static lighting" mode?
I don’t usually play computer specific games so I don’t usually change the settings haha
Fantastic video. Glad you had fun with this amazing game. I played all the three games, and had put considerable hours into Anomaly, and this is still my favourite one. Clear Sky, not so much. Call of Pripyat is the most polished one, but SoC nails the atmosphere so well, even if the game is bullshit early on and frustrating at times.
Great video! Subscribed!
I've played through Clear Sky and am not half way through CoP, but CoP doesn't have the same feeling like the other two do. SoC is definitely one of the better ones
This game rules. I've loved it since the game came out.
When you start getting guns with some accuracy you almost feel an RPG like progression. But even still having that bullet deviation adds so much tension and uncertainty
Only souls gave have me this on edge. A truly great game.
My experience with souls games is how i stuck it out haha, because so many people have told me that this game was too hard and frankly once you get better equipment, itll feel like night and day
@31:12 "I could finally sleep without angry Russians yelling at me." Reminds me of when I moved out on my own. Good times...
Молодец, СТАЛКЕР! Good job on struggling through this crazy game. I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it; I certainly enjoyed watching you try it.
Not gonna lie, it took a bit to get used to, but that second playthrough really put into perspective how the game is supposed to be played haha
America Rising 2 came out for Fallout 4, so you can revisit the Stan Smith challenge
The simulated bullet dispersion in the early hobo phase of these games is brutal, your shitty Soviet handgun barely being able to hit where you’re aiming definitely makes it harder, but by the end of the game you have laser beams that literally make it a breeze
I agree, early game is tough, but mid way through I’m able to take entire encampments without any issue
That sausage has saved me few times learning how to play this game lol
That sausage is part of a stalkers onboarding process haha, before slamming vodka while running through the cpp
So funny that a guy supposed to be a video games specialist discovers stalkers on 2024 😂😂
Haha I’m so far from being a specialist
Maximize audience
Next we want clear sky 🤑🔥
It’ll be on the way, I’m just wrapping up a fallout video and then we move onto clear sky starting on Thursday :)
Yeah stalker is awesome.
Great review. You react much like someone who's played this for years.
Just started my play through Finally can play the stalker games on my Xbox been waiting to play these gems!
How are you liking it so far?
@@krisisgaming I’m having a blast just got to yantar thanks for asking!
20:13 headshots exist, yeah.
I was so shocked when i found Gordon Freemans body at that tunnel with those few logs in his pda....many moment that just stick with you long after you leave the Zone😎 great to see more n more fellow stalkers over the years, cheeki breeki bro
hi, how this game compares visually and performance on ps5/xbox/ps4 pro, i only have ps4 pro, and i wonder if its all the same for all consoles 🤔
i play on pc so ill have to check
Still alive? That's great!
Still kicking haha
Did. Did you say. Whack ass aiming? Stalker has some of the best original gun play and physics to it’s bullets without mods installed. Just because you suck doesn’t mean the aiming does.
haha fair point, i did get better at compensating for bullet curve, but i wont lie, the beginning did feel wack haha
You’re a good storyteller
Thank you
here's a tip, use shotguns for mutants and rifles for humans, you'll do better that way, also if an item has a green mark on it, it has upgrades.
I learned that more so in my second play though, the upgrade sign, I had one of the earlier assault rifles with a faster fire rate and it did amazing haha
@@krisisgaming there is a bunch of hidden upgraded weapons in the world so check every inch, also in the rookie village at the start of the game the last house on the left has merc Armor in a box on the roof, that helps early game too.
Well done sir 👍
Thank you!!!
Watching this video made me buying this lovely game
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy it
I shall
I bought the game yesterday for ps4 and i really like it so far. Died a number of times in the first quest which was annoying and found the bandits near the factory? The place with the electric anomaly so thats fun.
i think getting used to the combat and exploring can be a bit of a learning curve, but once you get it, youre in for a pretty awesome series
@@krisisgaming it definitely reminds me of fallout but the lack of hit markers is sad. Like "WHERE ARE MY BULLETS GOING!?"
i died in the first mission at the car park and discovered theres no autosave 😂
Yeah, that got me more than a few times haha
This is a straight port on Xbox zero graphic updates I’m still gunna buy it but
I agree, it’s an odd choice but atleast console players get to play it now
@@krisisgaming I actually played it back in 07 loved it back when games were actually a challenge and you get penalised for your choices
This vid right here made me buy this game ngl
Thats awesome, are you enjoying it?
@@krisisgaming oh yeah, love the fallout series this is kinda giving me fallout 3 vibes
@@imadude4092 that’s the same vibe I got haha
one question did you used full dynamic lightning on the graphics menu? how was your experience also did you noticed any problems on trees when rotating the camera looking at the sky(ex: flikering pixelated and weird shadows when moving or waling?, the reason im asking is because im on ultrawide and i cannot find a solution to this, it could be a problem on ultrawide/ widescreens.
I didn’t use the dynamic lighting here, I actually got flamed for not using it in the comments haha. But I can also say I never say any weird screen flickers during my time either, this could just be that it’s an older game that wasn’t made with widescreen in mind, but the modding community is also massive for SoC, so I’ll see if I can’t find a mod to fix this for you :)
@krisisgaming hmm Nice what monitor did you used for your experience i totaly agree this game must have looked amazing on 4:3 monitors, i wonder how is the imagem quality on old CRT TVs, i still have some CRT around ill try experience In the future. Just need a converter haha.thank you for your response Im curently playing all the stalker games In order, since stalker 2 is releasing patches i decided to try the zone on the order games just to learn a bit about the story ignoring some bugs this game is addicting, some missions can be very hard as well ,but enjoying every moment, thank you buddy have a great day👍
Great video, loved the editing and writing! Hope you play the others and then anomaly mod.
This video did way better than expected, im in the middle of a fallout 4 video but yes, clear sky will be after that :)
I would advise after finishing trilogy to try couple standalone mods, like lost alpha, oblivion lost remake, lost alpha took old unreleased cut content added few they're own zones and custom story, few new things like driving car, its great mod, story might be meh but still great mod in my opinion, oblivion lost in other hand trying to restore unreleased version of old stalker build before even was called stalker game but oblivion lost game, they basically restoring things based on old videos, files and other things, also the also atmosphere is much different, you feel more isolated, there are less human presence in the world, you feel more lonely, tasks doesn't show where things are, they only mention buildings where things can be found, like "Go north and you see train tracks, on the right side there is tower and on top you will find file" you basically need to read for finding objective things, there is no green mark like in oroginal trilogy where to go showing, it feels more like old rpg games without hand holding and markers, similar to old world of warcraft games
Old wow quests were great, I’ll definitely give this a look once I finish the series
I just started my first playthrough. I went into that tunnel with the electric shit and just thought fuck this and just sprinted through the army checkpoint while they were firing on other stalkers 😂 When I came back they were angry at me so I spent the next half an hour or so trying to kill them with shitty weapons and quick loading and trying again and again and again. It felt so good when I finally killed all of them and got their gear 😎😀 This seems like a great game and I'm sure it will give me hours upon hours of entertainment!
Oh shit 😂 I continued the video and realized that the army will probably attack me because of my actions when I decide to continue playing 😂
Oh yeah! haha you're public enemy number one now haha
HELLO FELLOW STALKER! Welcome to the Zone my friend! Come, have a sit down and drink some energy drink, chew on some doctor sausage and babushka's day old bread. It is Stalkers breakfast! Oh and don't forget the Vodka. Can't forget to always bring Vodka. COME! COME SQUAT BY FIRE AS GUSTAV PLAYS GUITAR!
This game is so difficult and confusing
It just takes some getting used to, hence the two playthroughs haha
Skill issue
23:22 Astute observation, but no. That was the Miracle Machine, a smaller scale psy-machine.
ahhh, thank you for that
This game looks so much better with mods
I agree but its got charm haha
Cant wait for shadows of Chernobyl
It’s gonna be so good!
@@krisisgaming just the graphics alone had my jaw dropping, even the details of the zone were on point!
As old as this game is. I think it looks and plays nice on ps5 paired with my LG c3. It sure is challenging.
It doesn’t look as bad as I thought it was going to die to age, I still enjoyed my time
@@krisisgaming you're playing the game on DX8 mode, the static lighting. You made it look WORSE than it did during the release!
@@krisisgaming You were playing on the DirectX8 mode. Meaning you made it look half a decade older than it needs to.
SoC was a true DX9 Deferred Rendering flagship title back in 2007. Those dynamic lights and shadows + heavy use of bumpmapping made it super atmospheric, at times outright photorealistic experience.
even if you don't mod anything in this game a 2nd or 3rd playthrough can still surprise you with all these unscripted set pieces 7:35
Quick question: why are you, and so many newbies in general, always playing SoC with the uglier DirectX8 mode (Static Lighting)?
I mean sure, it's not awful, and kinda was made for it originally, but the DX9 Full dynamic lighting mode makes the game looks sooo much more modern and more atmospheric.
What comes to aiming and all that, people don't seem to realize that STALKER uses bullet physics, on top of playing like a gear-oriented "RPG". This means that even if you aim down sights, guns never become laser-accurate, especially at distance. Things like rusty pocket pistols and sawn-off shotguns are borderline useless past ~30 meters, and have crap armor penetration to boot. Yet all the guns CAN 1-shot any human, even the player, if you hit them to the noggin. A skilled player can literally waltz all the way to Chernobyl NPP after the first few minutes!
Haha you’re not the first to point some of this out, I just played the game as it was, I didn’t touch the settings, that’s partially to blame that I don’t usually play older games and most newer ones set the settings automatically, but don’t worry, I’m clear sky, I did change the lighting, I promise haha
Clear sky is peak. Less story more war
I’m editing it up as we speak and there’s so much more fighting haha
Why aren't you throwing bolts?
Because im silly haha, i often forgot about them
Welcome to the zone rookie try clear sky next ro realy get a workouts when it comes to quests
*Chews on Doctors sausage and drinks energy drink* I don't think this Stalker is going to be ok with Clear Sky friend. He needs to be more Cheeki Breeki. *Drinks seven bottles of Cossacks and passes out in a ditch of Anomalies*
im editing up clear sky as we speak, and all i gotta say is, i played everything wrong haha
@@krisisgaming stay cheeki breeki loner
Zone survival tip idk : Don’t eat the bread you’re better off eating a rock
Babushka's day old bread is hard enough to punch nails into wood. Have to soak in vodka to soften it to a manageable chewable substance.
@@GentleGiantJoe nah with how many cheap cigs stalkers smoke there’s probably not much to chew with in the first place
You might be the only person ı've ever seen who actively goes for bodyshots instead of headshots in this game pro tip both for Stalker and other games like CS, always go for headshots.
yeah, my first playthrough was silly, but i caught on in the second play through and clear sky
@@krisisgaming also the C-consciousness has nothing to do with the goverment at all they are a self-serving group ... unless you meant that as a joke then in that case ı guess ı have no sense of humour.
Hello from Ukraine! You've made a good video, but I wanna add something. Could you please change in your video name Chernobyl on Chornobyl? Because Chornobyl is the correct name of the city. Chernobyl is the russian version, but this city is located in Ukraine
Ah! Thank you so much, a few people had said to change the name but didn’t give context , I’ll change it right now!
All done :)
@@krisisgamingThank you so much! ❤
Every single language has its own name for countries, even towns.
It's "Tsernobil" in Finnish, for example.
@@abinas7077 oh that’s cool!
How to download English version???
I’m not sure, maybe it’s region specific ?
Sorry if you mentioned it in the video and i missed it, but did you have any trouble booting the game up? I cant get the game to open via steam without crashing right away
Odd, the only think I noticed was my fans kicked on in my pc, which was concerning since this is an older game, I did crash maybe once or twice but never when it booted up , have you tried verifying your files through steam?
Yup, I've tried so much stuff, I'm probably gonna give up and see if I can play the gamma mod at least later
Did you buy the og game or the collection? Did you try the old uninstall reinstall?
@@krisisgaming The fans kicking in is because of the game's unlocked framerate. During loading and FMVs, your GPU can push out THOUSANDS of frames, which is not good.
Lock the framerate by forcing Vsync or forced framerate cap. Also switch to DX9 Full Dynamic lighting mode; you're not only making the game uglier than it needs to be, but also making your GPU work overtime.
i think u shouldve bumped up the music volume in the editing timeline cause its barely audible 3:
ill keep that in mind for the next one
Is giving out all these medkits for free doesnt guarantee my salvation idk what will 😂
Tentacle monster? I didn't know this was a Japanese game.
Question, how the hell did you record Stalker? OBS refused to see it.
Yeah I had that issue too, use screen capture instead of game capture , I used this with stream labs and obs and it works fine, just make sure the resolution and your canvas size match and you’re all set :)
@@krisisgaming I have tried this and it sadly didn’t work for me, oh well it’s fine I wasn’t planning on making anything with it but would like to recreate the first time I encountered the bloodsucker.
@@Derglesnaf you’ve tried streamlabs and obs? The only other thing I could think of would be to make a new scene for the screen capture. Or try window capture maybe? I’ve been streaming clear sky and I promise you it does work , we just gotta figure out why it isn’t for you
an OG stalker fan out here) love this game! My friend showed me this game almost 5 yrs ago... from that period of time i played every game like 6-7 times with many different challenges + i know russian and ukrainian fluently what raised enjoyability. Man... i miss being dogshit in that game i am telling ya!
btw, a little tip for every monster
*dogs:danger level is low, i want to strangle them with my BARE HANDS most annoying monster because they swarm you and they are common. Especially in some hardcore mods they deal SHIT ton of damage. I HAVE ENAUGH of them bastards, literally kill them with whatever you can and also getting the high ground will do wonders.
*pseudodogs: level is low to mid, dogs on steroids
*pseudodogs(that spawn illusions): danger level is mid, every copy is dealing damage simular to normal one, so kill the main one as soon as possible! every copy has one hp and do not bleed, while actual one is bleeding and has hp of normal pseudodog.
*boars: danger level is low to mid. hate them! they deal a ton of damage when you get hit in their "charging" phase but a high place would work well. just snipe with a long range or kill them with shotgun bruh.
*flesh: danger level is under the bottom!! fr you just cant die to those! they die off quick and also pretty stupid most of the time,slow too.
*bloodsuckers: danger level is mid(unless u see them faster then they can see you, so you can snipe them down while they are not aware)crazy bastards... annoying as hell! most of the time you should be just extra aware of random glitching air running at you, also the sound! the best way to know the bastard is coming is by listening your surroundings.
*snorks: danger level is mid, they attack by jumping right at you. the best way way of dealing with them is by strafing left or right looking straight at them, they will charge into nothin(be sure there is no walls behind you).
*controllers: danger level is mid to high, they are really annoying tbh... the best tip is to lean, shoot, hide, repeat. they can not pull you when you are out of sight, also you can cheese them by running straight into them and killing them close range(they cant pull you)
*pseudogiants: danger level in original games:😊 danger level in mods:💀💀. do not let it get yo ass or else ur fucked, also it stomps so right before the stomp jump to negate the damage(does not work most of the time XD). grenades do literal wonders with this beast! try it.
*poltergeists: danger level is low to mid. they detect you when you walk so staying still will make them do not notice you, but as soon as you will shoot it will detect it. the bigger object thrown into main character, the bigger damage it deal. just kill it with shotgun, or snipe it from distance.
*flame poltergeists: danger level is mid, they detect you no matter what and will just spawn a flame directed at your location. I prefer killing them with shotgun running straight into it cuz the actual thing does not damage you.
*rodents: danger level is under the bottom of the mariana trench, they are THAT fragile, you can kill them by literally throwing a grenade on its head.
*[REDACTED]: danger level is high(but with the [REDACTED] strat it is pice of cake!) [REDACTED] attacks by [REDACTED] and because they simular to [REDACTED] in attack pattern they are EASY to avoid, by doing that they are harmless :) untill u get hit like a truck DX.
*[REDACTED]: danger level is high, [REDACTED] on steroids and cocaine cuz they are literally [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] COMBINED... uh cheese them like [REDACTED]
that took 30 mins to write
There’s a lot of redacted at the bottom but thank you so much for taking the time to type this out, snorks gave me a huge run for my money, I’m pretty bad at aiming so then leaping caused a lot of grief. But I’m planning on playing the rest of the series in due time so I’m gonna save these notes so I don’t struggle in the later games :) thank you
@@krisisgaming redacted are monsters which you will meet in the next games) i redacted them to do not make any spoilers
Isn't it Chernobyl, on xbox it is called Chornobyl is this a typo ?
i had some people reach out to me and the title changed recently to reflect the Ukrainian spelling because the company is based in Ukraine
@@krisisgaming I see, thanks.
10:28 Ah yes, rookie mistake number 1: equipping the useless health regen artifacts, because they have misleading stat bonus info. I hope you didn't wear those during gunfights since they make bullets hurt more.
In the first play through I did but not in the second one
really glad your enjoying the series but you should play stalker modded. it brings stalker to its peak and honestly i think modded stalker is going to be better than stalker 2 for awhile.
That’s fair, I’m gonna play the series as intended first, but I’ve been reccomended gamma and anomaly to try out
@@krisisgaming I like to think modded is honestly the intended experience. Overall it adds in many fixes and gameplay additions that are quite helpful. Like Skyrim or fallout honestly. Just look at the openxray project that’s being made for all 3 games also and check out ray of hope. It’s a multiplayer project for stalker that they’re gonna make in unreal engine 5. Looks like it’s gonna be great.
How do you fast travel??
You don’t , you walk or run, bring lots of energy drinks
Aaaaand he played in static lighting, like everyone else. Switch static lighting to full dynamic lighting please.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, but this new generation of PC gamers that doesn't spend a single second in the menus is driving me mad.
Sorry this had to come on you, but at least the next time you play you'll have much better visuals...
No stress I’ll give it a shot for next time , besides fallout I’m not much of a pc gamer
@@krisisgaming Love to see it, sorry to have come down hard on you, I may need to touch some grass it's been a long time with work and projects.. Heh
@@deus_nsf no stress, do all of the other games in the series have that dynamic lighting? Is the a setting that newer games have? I pretty much only play fallout as of late so I don’t usually check settings besides lowering graphics or changing audio
@@krisisgaming Yes they do and it's even worse, it is slightly better explain/shown though. It has a lot of set something and restart the game and new graphical options appear in the advanced menu too, or sneaky things to scroll almost like hidden options! It's a bit of a mess.
I've just started playing this week and was really enjoying running and knifing everyone until I died. Made it to the garage zone dam I'm happy I finally got to try stalker.
It’s a fantastic franchise! Easily my go to now for a good post apocalyptic endeavour , good luck stalker!
Use shotguns in jumpy f***s and other mutants they’re extra effective
I always seem to sell any artifacts i find, always need money for Meds and Ammo 😂
I was drowning in bandages and anti rads my first play though, but my second I was running dry by the end haha
@@krisisgaming That's how it seems to go 🤣 I think in my current playthrough of Clear Sky I'm sitting on close to 50 medkits, but I'm at the final gauntlet of a mission, there are no vendors, and no turning back. I can only hope I have enough 😆
@@Billy_The_Kid- Oof, I can’t wait to try myself haha
@@krisisgaming a lot of people have labeled it the worst in the series, but I really enjoy it. Good luck S.T.A.L.K.E.R, may your journeys in The Zone be profitable.
You did not play on the highest difficulty
no i didnt, i was just playing through the game for the first time
It s not post apocalyptic world thou
What would you classify it as?
@@krisisgamingsome long time Stalker players get touchy about this for some reason. Personally I consider it on par with other post apocalyptic media. But technically there was no apocalypse. This is an isolated event that doesn’t wipe out mankind or anything so it’s not post apocalyptic if we want to get nitpicky about it.
@@krisisgaming Zone is literally an exceptional, closed zone of alienation. Rest of the world is living their sweet lives as it is.
Read the Roadside Picnic book.
Ps5?? Any good
Someone just commented that it crashes sometimes but plays pretty well
For the money i paid for the trilogy all 3 games youd think they would have redone the graphics alot better 😅itd be appreciated for sure but regardless its nice to beable to play these titles
Understandable, but with stalker 2 coming out, and seeing how well that looks, I’m alright with just a port for now
The graphics in the OG games are gorgeous. Don't be a turbo graphix whore that cries about 2007-2010 PC games, kiddos!
Besides, this video is running on the older DirectX8 mode.
Chernobil,not Chornobil
It is Chernobyl not Chornobyl
Chornobyl is the Ukraine spelling! Legends of the zone trilogy changed the spelling! Chernobyl is Russian spelling!
why not both?
The original game was "Chernobyl". Cope and seethe.
'Chernobyl' is the Russian translated spelling. Chornobyl is the Ukranian one. As GSC is a Ukrainian developer, it makes sense for them to use Ukrainian localisation. Since the war between Russia and Ukraine, GSC has been using 'Chornobyl' instead of 'Chernobyl' in their game titles to make the distinction between the two countries.
