S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chornobyl is AMAZING

- Fallout 4 offers up a post apocalyptic playground filled with all sorts of wild encounters and ways for the player to achieve their goals, but as far as a complete package, unless you play with frost mods installed, it can feel somewhat silly. Last time I ventured away from the commonwealth I visited Russia and traveled the metros with Artyom, offering up a very atmospheric story with a unique take on the genre, and now on the other side of the pond, I'm visiting Ukraine to do the same with stalker, a game of amnesia, spooky things that go bump in the night and the feeling of always being one bullet away from death, this is stalker shadow of Chernobyl.
- Ігри
Zone survival tip 1337 - The stalker who calls you over to ambush a gang of bandits at the start of the game is Freddie Mercury.
Whaaaaa? Im gonna have to rewatch the footage haha
@@krisisgaming 8:34
I thought the same thing haha
Bes ?
Those bandits though they could spit in his eye and leave him to die.
These games are now on console, baby!
They are!
What console???
@@Spongedude1441 looks like Xbox
@@Spongedude1441Xbox and PS4
Next gen upgrade with mod support later, probably September.
@@krisisgaming I know Heart of Chernobyl is coming out on Series X but didn't know they had the old ones too. That's crazy
There's nothing like a Slavic hellworld for breakfast.
Ain’t it grand haha
That tunnel with the electric anomalies is not the thing that’s blocking the traders. What Sidorivich was talking about was the Brain Scorcher past the Army Warehouses.
Ahhhh that makes a lot more sense
Wait a minute, I’m pretty sure I knew that haha oh nooooo, I goofed with the script then haha
I've been playing PC games since the first Doom in 1994, and the STALKER franchise is STILL my all-time favorite! I can't wait for S2...
It’s gonna be great!
I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise. Playing Clear Sky right now on my channel
nice!
@@krisisgaming it's my first time uploading gameplay, I am learning 👶
Which one would you recommend the Most?
@@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.
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've always heard of this game as it's in a similar vein to fallout. Seems like fun, very difficult fun.
It’s a lot of fun but can take a bit to get used to
_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).
@@DodgyDaveGTX I thought Clear Sky was the best :)
Nothing like Fallout at all. Different genre, tone, atmosphere, and world structure.
This have NOTHING like fallout !!!! Fallout is chapagne this game is cider !!
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
Shadow of chernobyl was the first steam game i bought back when i was like 10 and i still have no regrets
It’s dope, I’m baffled it took me this long to finally give it a try
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
Oh god that has happened to me so many times its like mid gunfight if you fire before the reload is finished you get caught with your pants down lmao
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
@@cam5816 They used a transporter anomaly on you lol
X16 still gives me the sweats and I fought in a damned war! Lol. STALKER series got some heart tearing situations.
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 :)
Glad you enjoyed your stay in the zone
Good hunting, Stalker
I’m keen to tackle the rest of the series
Cant wait for Stalker 2 release.
Crazy to think that Vladimir Putin is directly responsible the game's delayed release
After what I played of SoC I’m keen to play the rest of the series before the new one drops
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
I just got the true ending through my Achievement hunting journey and oh man... YES ! This game is an absolute fucking YES !
YEAHHH!!!!
Welp it's time for Clear Sky now!
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.
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
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 💀
Oh noooooo, you were right there haha, I hope you give it another try with fresh eyes
Think that’s bad find the secret door for the true ending you gotta kill 30 more monolith after the monolith guarding the wishgranter
Great review. You react much like someone who's played this for years.
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.
America Rising 2 came out for Fallout 4, so you can revisit the Stan Smith challenge
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!
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
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
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!
>Scamrovich
Damn right on that, Marked One
I played trough this game at least 15 times. And every time when i'm going to labs or any kind of underground i literally cant breathe.
The labs and undergrounds are always terrifying, even when you know what's coming. Brilliant design!
Not gonna lie, on surface I was running around d and being silly, underground became a very slow walk and checking every single corner haha
That and the red forest! I'm on blood pressure meds in my 30s. Pretty sure GSC is to blame.
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.
Well done sir 👍
Thank you!!!
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 :)
One of my favorites. I periodically play it. Might want to try "Lost Alpha." There is a Stalker 2 coming out but delayed 'cause of the war in Ukraine.
I did see that, I’m gonna try to run through the other two games before it comes out
@@krisisgamingStalker 2 announced for 5th of September, 2024.
I hope this is the final release date
I prefer GAMMA 😢
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!?"
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
Still alive? That's great!
Still kicking haha
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.
Zone Survival Tip: Artifact Recipes for Anomaly abilities. If you have certain combos you can use the secret abilities in anomalies. 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.
Oh whaaaaaa? That’s so cool!
They're not neutralizing. They give resistances to respective anomalies. Having >100% resistance actually heals you and repairs your armor.
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
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
23:22 Astute observation, but no. That was the Miracle Machine, a smaller scale psy-machine.
ahhh, thank you for that
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!
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!
Clear sky is peak. Less story more war
I’m editing it up as we speak and there’s so much more fighting 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
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.
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
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
@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
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
This game is so difficult and confusing
It just takes some getting used to, hence the two playthroughs haha
Skill issue
as a avid stalker player my eyes fucking bleed, anyways good video earned a sub
Haha thank you!
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.
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
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 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!
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
Fam, this game is the shit
It’s amazing!
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
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.
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.
How do you fast travel??
You don’t , you walk or run, bring lots of energy drinks
I have never played these games before. I just bought them, and I got killed right away 🤦♂️ so I deleted it until further notice 😂
It takes a bit to get used too haha but stick with it and you’ll enjoy it :)

Get out of here, Stalker
Oh boy, I can’t to- lost to the zone
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
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.
Chernobil,not Chornobil
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
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
I killed that "get out of here stalker" guy then Duty killed me. But why?!! He started first.
The game is a bit silly, but don’t worry, Duty got what they had coming to them when I played Clear Sky
@@krisisgaming Clear Sky was very interesting. But, unfortunately, it has many bugs, many glitches, many crashes... A "Big Potential" and a "Big Waste"... Sorry...
@@toygarfatih5260 that’s ok, everyone has different views, for me, story wise SoC is better, but Clear Sky has more variety
@@krisisgaming Yeah! You'r right sir. "Tecnicaly" CS is better. I played all of them 10 years ago,. I forgot many things. Now, I am playing Anomaly. Ahhh! Pain in the... Whatsoever...
@@krisisgaming By the way, I remembered why I didn't like CS so much. "That machine gun"!!!
Ps5?? Any good
Someone just commented that it crashes sometimes but plays pretty well
Can you beat fallout 4 as loid forger?
I can try haha
@@krisisgaming and give me credits for the idea
Never played the game, Im interested in game atmosphere, but cant get over these outdated graphics, waiting for Stalker 2
maybe watch some lore videos to catch up?
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.
Just picked this up on XBSX and am around 2hrs into the game. Jave to say I cant see what all the fuss on this game is! After playiing Fallout games, Metro ganes, Halo games...Stalker just feels bland and dated. Inhope it improves the further i get into it.
It depends on what games you like, metro is fantastic and as far as a story telling game, it beats stalker easy, but stalker imo is more of an sandbox game with quests. There is a story to follow and the lore is incredible but yes this came out in 2007 so it’s gonna feel a bit off, stick with it and let me know how you go
Did you seriusly play it on easy
Playng on master is more fun becuse everyone has less hp even the enemies
I played on stalker which is the second difficulty, I only had 3 options with the highest being veteran, but I didn’t do that as I had no idea what to expect for my first play though.
@@krisisgaming Эту игру можно играть только на максимальной сложности
Shadow of Chernobyl*
Get out of here stalker
I heard that voice line so much while exploring haha
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.
Weapon aim isnt that fucked. Unless your using any 5.45 or 9x18mm cartridge weapon. People say the AN94 is good. Its not. Pick up a vintorez or AS VAL, g36, sg500, fn2000, ots-14 and you will make the game your bitch. OP guns.
I agree, aiming just takes some getting used to, but towards the end of my playthrough, the g36 and as Val were nearly dead on accurrate
Ah yes another westener who has no idea what hes talking about
1:08 Something to the effect of "rifleman" or "gunslinger."
2:29 Most mods do away with that "hit probability" malarkey.
5:29 The flesh is a pig spliced with the genes of a fly. That's totally Cronenberg! And their twisted faces remind me of the Toxic Avenger! 🙃
6:01 Pigs. Imagine what the goat version of a fleshpig would look like! 🙃
9:56 Fortunately, even if Seriy dies to Deth, you can still get the necessary info from his PDA. Happens automatically when you search his corpse.
12:55 You found the Storming Nikonov!
13:51 Buckshot is the cure for all mutants in 'nilla ShoC. Even from the humble, unassuming, Mad Max-like sawed-off. But if you want more of a sporting challenge, try nailing snorks in the head with a pistol. Works best with a .45. Any will do.
15:40 More specifically, it's because you're wearing a Flash and a Sparkler. Moonlights are the best stamina-boosting artifacts. Two will give you infinite stamina if you're not encumbered or rapid stamina regen if you're encumbered. You won't need more than Two Moonlights. Two Flashes will do. Or one Moonlight and one Flash. But once you have the best, you might as well use the best. Anti-bleeding artifacts are also good, Micas and Slugs being the best. And Crystals are the best anti-radiation artifacts. You need at least two to get a good enough effect.
16:24 If you want to increase an NPC's chances of survival at least a little bit, you can sometimes equip them with a better weapon. In 'nilla ShoC, NPC A.I. will recognize a weapon as usable if it meets certain criteria, including: condition has to be good enough, has to have at least one round in it, and it has to be the same caliber as the NPC's default weapon (but I'm not sure if that's consistently true because of there being two weapon slots). In Professor "Kroog's" case, his A.I. only allows him to use weapons chambered for 9x19mm, meaning that the best weapon he can use is an MP5. Still, that's better than a P99. Most mods allow NPCs to use a broader variety of weapons, and sometimes even armors, so you can gear up yer buddies enough to make them actual contenders in the Zone.
18:16 Notice how the sights are screwed up on the LR-300. You aim over the rear peep instead of through it. What was it with ADS-having FPS games from this era with those misaligned sights?! Borderlands 1 had a few instances of that. Borderlands 2 had even more. Soldier of Fortune: Payback was ridiculous with it. Yer 'sposed ta aim THROUGH the rear sight, not OVER it! Anyway, most Zone mods fix that, making the LR-300's iron sights line up right. Usually, they also revamp the in-view weapon model (and typically also the in-world weapon model). The flapping dust cover doesn't bother me as much as the wrongly-aligned sights.
18:29 / 23:00 Sepia tone, aka "Tarkovsky vision."
18:40 Best technique is to use an LR-300 with a SUSAT and fire "short, controlled bursts" (spoken in Michael Biehn voice) at their heads. Leave the rifle on full-auto, but fire 2- to 4-round bursts. Alternatively, you can use an AN-94 with a PSO-1, but use the same technique. The Anomaly mod gives the AN-94 a proper 2-round hyper-burst mode. In 'nilla ShoC, don't bother using it.
19:22 There's a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-themed L4D2 mod. It replaces Hunters with snorks, Jockeys with fleshpigs, etc., plus it replaces weapons too.
19:36 To the body, yeah, but not to the head. Nailing them in the head is the trick. Use a pistol for maximum sporting challenge. For extra ultimate challenge, try nailing super long-jumping "man-eating" snorks (you usually encounter them in the Red Forest/Radar, but they can sometimes show up elsewhere once you've been in the Zone long enough) in the head with a pistol while they're in the air. Or you can blast them out of the air with 40-mils. Doing it that way is total overkill, but also hilarious. Make a special hard save just for that purpose (your own amusement) since it would be a waste of 40-mils while playing the game normally.
20:23 Mother Brain
21:27 Some mods, including but not limited to Oblivion Lost 2010, give it a fully functional combination sight.
22:11 Since there's no weapon repair in 'nilla ShoC, you can never have too many spares of your fave guns. You can earn an unlimited supply of SG550s (and launchers to go with them) from Lukash and an unlimited supply of Grozas (which have an integral launcher) from Colonel Petrenko, along with armor-piercing ammo (5.56 AP or 9x39 SP-6) and 40-mils in either case.
25:19 Ackchyually, it's a blowout.
31:58 "Clear Sky," not "Clear Skies."
Thank you for your insight haha, I think I managed to nail a snork with Big Ben on my second play though, but they’re still my least favourite enemy haha. I’ll check out some of the other mods and tips you mentioned, because as far as post apocalyptic games go, this series has a lot going for it, especially with the anamoly mod people keep suggesting
@@krisisgamingWanna try some Zone Sportsmanship Challenges?
@@judsongaiden9878 what is that? That sounds cool, I’m doing another fallout video atm but yeah I’d be keen to check it out
Have you noticed most weapons in this games are mirrored. 😁
@@lordgallo4213Typical fad of the era.
Edit/Note: It only bothers me when it's a side-ejecting bullpup like the Groza or the L85.
It's Chornobyl
Changed it :)
@@krisisgaming Thank you ♥️

Changed it :)
@@krisisgaming Thank you from me and my brother ♥
why are you using alts pigfor shill?
Фонарик вкл
Yeah I didn’t learn about that until streloks hide out haha
I hated this game. The AI was bad and the aiming with guns was terrible.
The aiming takes some getting used to, but once I did I didn’t find it too bad
STALKER's A-Life system, the all dynamic and constantly active AI thing, is actually damn amazing.
Gunplay is also great, being much more realistic and tactical than your typical console-CoD games. Different bullet types behave differently, and there's bullet physics.
Even if you aim down sights, no gun will be laser-accurate. This requires not only mastery of your tools, but also tactical thinking.
@@abinas7077 It's still pish .
Just play Stalker Anomaly, it's a hugely modernized, upgraded engine, massively expanded combination of all three Stalker games. Vanilla is worth one play through but mods are where this game's potential really is!
That seems spot on, I’m gonna run through the other two entries and then start a modded run, it’s been highly recommended
Analmeme is awful, overshilled trash. It's outright ANTI-STALKER, being a literal storyless sandbox-freeroam MOD.
No, it does NOT "combine all three stalker games". It only STEALS THE MAPS from each 3 games, and then coats it with random bloat. We've had tons of such mods in the past.
Even after 16 years olf playing STALKER, I cannot stand Analmeme and Gaymma mods.
If you want a stalker that follows all three games yet you can add mods to make the game EVEN HARDER if try stalker anomaly, it’s free and it was made by the stalker community absolutely amazing and a popular mod for it is G.A.M.M.A
For anyone interested, note that Anomaly (and GAMMA, which is to Anomaly what Anomaly is to Stalker) does not contain the story/campaign of the vanilla series. It does have its own storyline which is related to the zone and story of the Stalker games, but the experience should be approached more as a hardcore survival sandbox than anything else.
These sound awesome! I’m in a time consuming fallout run atm but I’ll definitely give these a look
@@poolnoodle5494 thank you mate, forgot to mention that!
Dont play gamma now. First play all the trilogy.
I've been part of STALKER community since 2007, and I absolutely HATE sandbox mods like the Anomaly and Gamma. They are NOT fit replacements for the OG games.
The original vanilla games and their standalone mods > that garbage.
GAMMA is better. Not only is it free, but it is all of the games combined into one. Less glitches and issues. Better graphics, better gameplay. Waaaaay more content. Way less jank. Way more weapons and equipment. Better in every way. Always baffles me that people suck the shaft of shadow of chernobyl so hard when GAMMA exists.
Im just playing them in order haha, editing up clear sky, and then cop, then gamma/anomaly
@@krisisgaming gotcha if that is what you wanna do but GAMMA has all the content. I was mainly referring to the fans who always tell newbies that shadow of chernobyl is better when it is not even remotely true lol. You'll see.
To be fair, GAMMA has a massively different progression and combat, with no actual story or writing.
also the file size is absolutely ridiculous
@@povotaknight2063 which makes it better. No one ever praised stalker for its story. It is better to make it fully open and let YOU do whatever you want.
Metro thumps these games. Russia is better than Ukraine in making games and movies. And war 😂🎉
The metro games are made by ukranians (also why do these mfs always meat ride russia the second ukraine is mention man gawdamn)
Metro 2033 делали те же люди. Перед выходом S.T.A.L.K.E.R команда разработчиков распалась, часть команды создала студию A4 и используя опыт разработки S.T.A.L.K.E.R и связи с издателем THQ они разработали Metro 2033
Nobody really was hurt or cares, stalker is better than all russian games👶🏻
Stalker 2 ps5 🥺🥺🥺
People please I preach to you out of love belive on the lord Jesus Christ and trust in him for you salvation and not in yourself Christ came to die for our sin we have all sinned and deserve hell but God is so merciful and Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment so that who ever belive on him will not perish but have eternal life john 3:16 romans 10:9 if we confess with our mouth jesus is lord and belive in our heart that god rose him from the dead we will be saved we can not earn salvation it is the free gift from God❤❤,,..
Dont buy rhis old schit . It is not worth play on a ps5 . Bad grafics,bad shooting ,empty world ,dogs dogs dogs ,soooo boring . This is the mist boring bad game i played in 30 years !!!!NOT WORTH THE MONEY !!!!!!
Hush, kiddo. Hush. Sell your Piss5, and get a PC already.
STALKER games are legendary, and easily BTFO of any console Ubishit or CoD you've played these past 15 years.
I've put tens of thousands of hours into all 3 STALKER games, and still return to them from time to time. Amazing, timeless, atmospheric masterpieces.
Metro made in Ukraine
Ah nu cheeki breeki i v damke
