Somethings to note - in-case you always want a sidearm on hand incase you drop your gun or one jams, you can put a pistol in your knife slot which can help alot when your not dealing with mutants often (or are just know it's tediuous to swap out the knife). - You can break down armor and weapons for spare parts by using either a Swiss-Army Knife or a Multi-Tool and then pay a Technician to use their vice (or kill one if their an opposing faction for free). You can then sell the spare parts to Technician's for a premium or use the spare gun parts to swap out almost broken weapon parts with repaired gun parts to a near repairable state which will allow you to repair your favourite gun that is almost broken to a repairable state that technician's can fix or can be fixed with a repair kit. - Considering upgrading your suits and using the "belt" attachments for artifacts or certain belt-attachments. This let you augment your carry ability, sprint and with the right artifact container containing the right artifact, passive health regeneration - Stimpacks are your friend, better than first-aid kits in a combat situation as they heal a big chunk of health quickly but their side-effects may make you more tired or hungry.
@@OperatorDrewski Consider looking up the guide in the PDA, it gives a description of characters, factions, mechanics, mutants, anomalies and artifacts you've encountered.
The modding community for S.T.A.L.K.E.R and games like it has to be one of the most dedicated groups out there, still updating and creating NEW mods over a DECADE after the games release. Makes me very excited for what could be possible with the new game coming out soon!
@@lmao.3661 I played one that had this shadow thingy that kept attacking me and like I Hated that he was invisible and deadly. But like this looks amazing...
@@NKillBruh well, the appearance and hunting instincts of Chimera more resemble those of feline species... its origin may however be from a human mutations, who knows...
YES! That intro was...it was an experience. It, and this video as a whole, almost make up for the shitty day I've had. Keeping me sane, Drew, you're keeping me sane!
I like how drewski, casually cleared out the 2nd hardest area in the game, and didnt even go to the brainscorcher to turn it off, and then fought his way through the complex BACKWARDS
56:18, the hotel with the red letters is the hotel you shot from in All Ghillied Up (The infamous sniper mission) in the first Modern Warfare i believe. You're standing in the place Zakhaev got his arm shot off. You can hear the music from that level in the background. Cool easter egg!
@@tristanvanissum1523 Yeah man, music was going from the 50th minute all the way through Pripyat, post editing 100%. but the rest of it yeah it could be a little nod, I'm sure some of the buildings used in both games are from historic pictures, so that hotel may be exactly there in real life.
You realize that level setting is based off of the an actual abandoned hotel in a city called Pripyat, where a nuclear reactor exploded? its in Ukraine
My favorite thing about the AI is that if you don't notice them, they'll know and take advantage of that. I've had them walk up on me and take my head off while I was looting and had apparently missed a straggler.
A tip, never loot if u think theres enemy close, cuz as soon as you start looting they will come for you, its in the code or some shit, but yeah i tried it and it's true, they wont push you, once you start looting they on yo ass like a mustang on a crowd
I was walking through red forest at night with NV goggles on, turned around and saw a lone monolith couch walking up to me. He was really close and hadn't taken a shot yet. Was so weird, never seen it before. Shot him before he did anything
@@Jake-im2lv yeah, enemies sometimes do that if they notice you before you notice them and they don’t have a squad to back them up. They get almost point blank and blast you into the shadow realm. Always scares the shit out me better than any jump scare in a horror game.
Till this day, I remember S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a game that made me as a player feel constantly UNCOMFORTABLE. Not scared, not jumpy, but just slight sense of permanent hostility of the Zone. Very believable.
@@floppagaming2213 thats what makes it so much fun to watch lol, get that genuine shtting his pants expressions when he gets jumped in the pitch black night in red forest or walking right into a brain scorcher 😆
Well, it is Fallout for MEN. There is no Big Iron, no comfy radio, no funny super mutants. Just pure dread. Soviet kind of dread. And most of our apartment buildings are faceless grey blocks.
Despite it being only a 1 day difference, I am already cringing on my comment. What I meant was it's way, way more immersive as a "post-apocalyptic shooter". Although Fallout is better as an RPG in that regard.
Absolutely been loving this. The moments like CoD 4 sniper mission music when entering Pripyat, the dreams when you go to sleep, all of it is just incredible.
@@cinnamontoast9999 of the lot, bloodsuckers are the easiest to deal with, controllers are second easiest, Chimera's just tanky as all hell, did the Clear Sky mission to deal with a creepy crawly that had killed a team at one of the outlook posts at night and let me be clear, the number of times I had to reload that night was excessive. But to be perfectly fair, I think the worst enemy to deal with is cats. Cats just don't give a shit, you kill a bunch of dogs, they get the message, you kill a cat you're getting left on some doorstep like an oversized mouse carcass by it's buddies.
Your intro editing is truly masterful; The camera angle, the timing, the transitions, the music. That first 2 minutes bit was enough for me to like the video.
I absolutely love to see how new and returning players enjoy the game and how they fully get immersed in it. The enjoyment in your voice while playing makes me proud to be a part of this great community of stalker fans👍
We are the best fanbase! Stalker fans have been so helpful over the past year or so and helped me enjoy these legendary games to the max. Anomaly is soooo much fun
Bro im loving this series so much plz dont stop this is exactly what i need for my STALKER fix. I cant wait for STALKER 2. Production snd editing is fucking phenomenal too
When Drew actually gets stressed enough to eat comfort food, you know the game is scary. Heck, the whole genre he plays is one big jump scare. Tactical shooters are fun to watch, but if I play I'll suffer a heart attack. Good games @OperatorDrewski! Love the content.
Awesome that you found Shiey! That guy has the hands down best UE and travel videos on here. Also, the fact that he doesn’t seem to truly fear anything makes it all the more interesting to watch his vids. Dude is always so calm and doesn’t rush through his explorations.
Those two Monolith with shotguns did some incredible tactical manoeuvring right there. One flanks you from the rear pushing you from your position while the second was waiting to take you out once you left cover.
Amazing editing. Really loving how this isn't gameplay, isn't narrative, isn't stream clips, it's... kind of like the best of all three worlds. The intro to this video could be the trailer to a STALKER game on its own. That was art.
I've been watching shiey for about 2 years now. Love his trips. Even his train surfing or when he explores underground bunkers that he enters through ventilation shafts. Its awesome
His friend he went to Pripyat with, i think Anthon is his name, went a few times and even did sneak pretty close to the powerplant. They did climb the unfinished reactor no. 5, i just dont know his channels name but sure you can find id pretty easy.
loving the playthrough drewski, I'd recommend getting the jsrs audio mods by solarint to flesh out the audio depth with guns and all audio basically. Gets rid of that tinny sound.
BEAUTIFUL FUCKING.....BEAUTIFUL, Thank you Drew for making us STALKER community feel warm and noticed again and the fact that I have talked and know a few modder in this community, man.... we've gone so far indeed
@@antzzors126 In these times, you must: NEVER pre-order NEVER trust any trailers NEVER trust early access NEVER trust hype It should be like in the old days, when everyone could download free demo of the game to test if you like it or not. Now, I personally always download cracked game first, play it a while, and if I like it, im BUYING it. If not? Delete. I think it's completely fair in these dark times. I hope they won't mess up Stalker 2, unfortunately now it's the only game worth attention i think.
Today I learned drew also watches Shiey, small world. His videos are always a blast and is a really down to earth guy. Definitely reccomend if you like urban exploration and general shenanigans.
30:03 And the she looks at you with distain and says "Are you really eating this, now?" and you try to explain how you just went through this whole ordeal. And she just gives you "Yeah, what ever" and you reply with "You still love me, right" while you're bonking bad guys
54:30 this is why Stalker is iconic. Just watch that sequence. You truly feel scared shitless, as you walk around haunting landscapes and know that at any moment you can die. The thrill.
If you bring the basic, advanced and expert toolkits to a technician you will be able to upgrade your weapons and armor, that includes an upgrade for the exoskeleton that allow you to sprint.
I wish i could give more likes, the cinematic intro was something to awe at for pure enjoyment of the depressing world you're enveloped in. Please make more of this series you're doing a wonderful job.
Drew, the Devilish Encampment encounter was NERVE WRENCHING, not to mention the creepy factor of you singing ring-around-the-rosy while shooting and running was absolutely one of the most terrifying things I have watched on UA-cam of someone playing a horror game.
What I, as a stalker fan, noticed about this mod is that a lot of subtle changes to animations, like head movement, some slight turning etc. make this game feel very fresh
Never stop playing this game, with all the respect to you and your UA-cam channel it this is by far the best content you’ve made this far! Awesome video great editing very good intro and just awesome gameplay!
the best series i’ve seen in a while, love how you actually think and act like a new stalker in the zone, slowly gaining more and more experience. love to see that transition. great edits. only thing i’d change is the western music. stalker series are known for great guitar tracks. if you don’t like these i can also recommend russian post punk music. in my opinion it’ll fit the vibe much better. once again, thanks for creating something this entertaining and engaging. great job, can’t wait for the next episode
Admitting he didn't know what loot crates were five seconds after casually erasing his first chimera from existence - while taking zero damage - has got to be the craziest sequence in any video on this channel
damn, that ending where the monolith guy snuck up on you like that. Man, I absolutely love the Stalker AI. Only AI where I legit cannot predict what they are going to do, they quick peek, sneak around, and flank so well.
I can't believe one of my favorite youtubers also knows Shiey! I love his videos, some of them are insane but I respect him for the fact that he actively discourages people from doing what he does and would censor information that might give away the places he visits.
Have joyfully been following this series parallel to my own playthrough because it's so well stitched together (albeit suffering at times from a somewhat confusing edit) and now I'll simply have to comment on the track playing at the start of the game. That is an exquisite choice, perfecty mirroring both the horror-theme and the atmosphere of the game. I think there's an option in the game to set up your own playlist for when listening to the ingame radio. So thank you for supplying links to both it and the band making it, that way maybe I can include it into my own game's radio music.
Everything about this from the intro, to the meat, to the outro, is incredible. Makes me want to get back to playing my game again. Glad you're enjoying the game, man!
12:11 lol, Ukraine doesn't care too much. Premature ending of your trip - that's the worst that can happen if you're caught. And maybe a fine. Shiey's trip was awesome but there are some bonuses if you do it legally too. There are private tours that don't follow the same generic tourist route. They even do multi-day tours so you can spend a night in the zone. There is a working hotel in the town of Chernobyl. Staying there is quite an experience. Oh and did I mention having lunch at the nuclear power plant cafeteria? The same one where actual CNPP workers have their lunch every day. Also, more Anomaly please! Really enjoying this series
I've actually been to Pripyat/Tsjernobyl. Was an amazing experience :) Did a 2 day tour, slept in a really creepy hotel in Tsjernobyl, walked with alot of dogs there, amazingly all super friendly dogs. Puppy's everywhere, foxes (ate candy out of my hand), huge catfish in the old cooling-water inlet. All that with a howling geiger-counter in you pocket hahahaha :D
13:13 that sound was a zombie walking into the stack of boxes leading to the rest of the facility. I had the same thing happen to me except I bumped into it.
I'm so gratefull you give this series the love it deserves. STALKER has been one of my favorite series and it's just so lovely to see one of my favorite youtubers make a high quality series on it!
If you’re looking for more intro songs, I recommend ‘In the Pines’ by various artists. It has exactly the kind of anomalous and spooky feel that matches this game.
Man, I always end up eagerly awaiting the next ep everytime I finish watching this series. So fucking amazing drew, absolutely love the effort you put into these. Plus, stalker is my favourite game, so its always good to see people play it :D
Just stumbled over your 'Anomaly' videos while I was sifting YT for 'Stalker' videos, while being on memory lane. Watched the first one (which was actually the Day 2 video), got interested and gave it a like, because, well, I liked it a lot. And I barely watch any gameplay videos ever. Here, you get my like right after that little intro, because I simply love it. F'ing brilliant.
Watching you stumble into Radar without knowing what's in there has to be the most terrifying yet funny things I've ever seen, at least you picked the sneaky entrance.
Okay... this intro gave me FrankieOnPCin1080p vibes and the nostalgia hit me like a freight train. Keep up the great work and your astonishing editing skills.
@@caralho5237 Aye, the zone is different from all the eyes that see it, some wish to destroy it, some to preserve it, some to worship it and some to profit of it,.
I love this game so much. Jump in just experience the zone however you want. The community mods are absolutely amazing. I prefer to add a texture and sounds pack, boomsticks and sharpsticks (weaponry and optics), a graphical overhaul, and then I tweak a ton of settings myself to make weapon damage more like Tarkov and DayZ. It really breaks immersion when I have to shoot an unarmored human head more than once. Also optional is a medical overhaul which I usually do myself and magazine repacking. But the vanilla standalone mod is amazing out of the box and would recommend just sticking to that for your first play through. After you mod its a different beast.
I recommend getting a shotgun because the ammo is cheap and relatively strong whilst AK’s might be enticing they’re ammo isnt the most efficient rouble wise i also recommend ignoring the main missions and getting to rostok or army warehouses to do missions from Petrenko (duty in rostok that gives missions relatively close by) or the freedom counter-part i dont know never accept “give me this item” or “deliver this package” quests they take too long to do they’re too dangerous and give little money like 8k roubles compared to assassination missions that give around 15k roubles and are much easier and give more loot if you want variation you can go to garbage and do some missions for butcher they dont give much but are pretty decent theres also an alternative thats more dangerous but gives a lot of money i really recommend that you learn the game before you do this you can go to jupiter head to the scientist base and buy some artefact containers get a veles detector or above (dont even bother with anything below veles its like trying to read moonrunes) you also need some above average protection against radiation and psy with 1000 stalker rep you can get a ranger gas mask for about 30k roubles from sidorovich you can go to the stalker anomaly wiki and look at what anomalies are on what maps after that you can go around getting artefacts check the wiki for which artefacts are good or bad and you can keep the good ones after around 500 rep with scientists you can get a veles detector and a special container that allows you to equip artefacts and use their special abilities wrenched is a definite for any stalker i once made around 125k roubles from one run from about 7 artefacts it works well zaton, jupiter and red forest have the best artefact locations if your looking for good guns you have to make friends with mercenaries its a pain but in the outskirts or pripyat theres a friend merc base that you can do some missions for once you reach 1000 rep (1100 to be safe) you can go to the dead city and trade with dushmann he has the best NATO and russian gear in the game and the price is pretty good i cant give you pointers on armor though because i havent messed around with it that much i just use a ranger gas mask and a stalker nomad outfit from sidorovich (i might be mistaken on nomad armor because i forgot what it was called and there are 2 similar armors) i hope you have fun in stalker thanks for reading
Oh yeah i also recommend keeping a MRE and a bottle of water on hand at all times and at least 1-2 stimpacks once you’ve got some money because those will come in clutch if you lose 90% of your health at once also once you have at least one 100% condition item you should keep some repair items in your inventory and repair it when you need to
I hope this series give the mod and game a propor visibility. I'm a fan from the series since 2011, my first original game was STALKER Clear Sky. Good Job Drewski.
It's incredible how you shot parts of this like a film using that noclip type function. Really helps give the whole experience a cinematic vibe instead of being solely let's play POV. Bravo!
Bro the intro was cinematic. You could honestly make that a trailer for STALKER Anomaly. If you just changed what you said at the start then that would make a perfect trailer
What is this man? "yes, these are the exact places I need to go and things to do. Ah, this is a good weapon." "I didn't realize I could break the boxes to loot."

Somethings to note
- in-case you always want a sidearm on hand incase you drop your gun or one jams, you can put a pistol in your knife slot which can help alot when your not dealing with mutants often (or are just know it's tediuous to swap out the knife).
- You can break down armor and weapons for spare parts by using either a Swiss-Army Knife or a Multi-Tool and then pay a Technician to use their vice (or kill one if their an opposing faction for free). You can then sell the spare parts to Technician's for a premium or use the spare gun parts to swap out almost broken weapon parts with repaired gun parts to a near repairable state which will allow you to repair your favourite gun that is almost broken to a repairable state that technician's can fix or can be fixed with a repair kit.
- Considering upgrading your suits and using the "belt" attachments for artifacts or certain belt-attachments. This let you augment your carry ability, sprint and with the right artifact container containing the right artifact, passive health regeneration
- Stimpacks are your friend, better than first-aid kits in a combat situation as they heal a big chunk of health quickly but their side-effects may make you more tired or hungry.
Those are HUGE tips. Thanks man :)

Consider looking up the guide in the PDA, it gives a description of characters, factions, mechanics, mutants, anomalies and artifacts you've encountered.

BEAUTIFUL FUCKING.....BEAUTIFUL, Thank you Drew for making us STALKER community feel warm and noticed again and the fact that I have talked and know a few modder in this community, man.... we've gone so far indeed
The intro, this song, this atmosphere. What a game, what a good series on the channel.
10:54 happy to see the mention of Shiey here, absolutely love his stuff
yea, been following shiey since like 20k subs. always been my fav urbex and youtuber in general
I hope he makes a playthrough series of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl when it comes out!
Gonne be my first Pre-Order since refunding Fallout 76
@@z33thr33 do you even get anything for pre-ordering
@@antzzors126 Yeah, you get an award of the most gullible guys in the world.
@@gentlemanandascholar4555 Ha, lmao true
@@antzzors126
In these times, you must:
NEVER pre-order
NEVER trust any trailers
NEVER trust early access
NEVER trust hype
It should be like in the old days, when everyone could download free demo of the game to test if you like it or not.
Now, I personally always download cracked game first, play it a while, and if I like it, im BUYING it. If not? Delete.
I think it's completely fair in these dark times.
I hope they won't mess up Stalker 2, unfortunately now it's the only game worth attention i think.
Today I learned drew also watches Shiey, small world. His videos are always a blast and is a really down to earth guy. Definitely reccomend if you like urban exploration and general shenanigans.
Drewski, I've never seen a better intro of a UA-cam gaming video, ever. How do you bless us with this stuff for free. FOR FREE?
Free? There's ads.
there are some premium quality intros in YT gaming scene. in rust for example Frost makes some high quality intros in some of his videos
The game is free too bro. FREE
30:03 And the she looks at you with distain and says "Are you really eating this, now?" and you try to explain how you just went through this whole ordeal. And she just gives you "Yeah, what ever" and you reply with "You still love me, right" while you're bonking bad guys
54:30 this is why Stalker is iconic. Just watch that sequence. You truly feel scared shitless, as you walk around haunting landscapes and know that at any moment you can die. The thrill.
24:34 Reminds me of TF2's Meet the Sniper.
"I think his mate saw me."
*BANGBANGBANG*
"Yes, yes he did!"
If you bring the basic, advanced and expert toolkits to a technician you will be able to upgrade your weapons and armor, that includes an upgrade for the exoskeleton that allow you to sprint.
There is something about the atmosphere of this game, it is perfect.
Really enjoying the Stalker series so far, and you nailed the background music.
It takes a real man to admit a game scared him so much he cried :-) MUCH RESPECT drewski..
I wish i could give more likes, the cinematic intro was something to awe at for pure enjoyment of the depressing world you're enveloped in. Please make more of this series you're doing a wonderful job.
Drew, the Devilish Encampment encounter was NERVE WRENCHING, not to mention the creepy factor of you singing ring-around-the-rosy while shooting and running was absolutely one of the most terrifying things I have watched on UA-cam of someone playing a horror game.
This intro is really nice. Good work Drew!
Love that you mentioned Shiey, been watching him for a while and he's awesome.
What I, as a stalker fan, noticed about this mod is that a lot of subtle changes to animations, like head movement, some slight turning etc. make this game feel very fresh
16:30
The way he ignored Heart of Oasis room makes my heart bleed
The fact that he dropped his svds pmc instead of his svds also hurts me because i looked for one for ages
On my first anomaly play though I missed so much of the game, because there are just so many layers to everything...
Never stop playing this game, with all the respect to you and your UA-cam channel it this is by far the best content you’ve made this far!
Awesome video great editing very good intro and just awesome gameplay!
the best series i’ve seen in a while, love how you actually think and act like a new stalker in the zone, slowly gaining more and more experience. love to see that transition. great edits. only thing i’d change is the western music. stalker series are known for great guitar tracks. if you don’t like these i can also recommend russian post punk music. in my opinion it’ll fit the vibe much better. once again, thanks for creating something this entertaining and engaging. great job, can’t wait for the next episode
Drewski: “I need to eat too..”
Also drewski: **casually eats salmon in the middle of a firefight**
Admitting he didn't know what loot crates were five seconds after casually erasing his first chimera from existence - while taking zero damage - has got to be the craziest sequence in any video on this channel
This is probably your best series to date. While it's usually just gameplay, this has story, atmosphere, detail. It's on another level Drew.
You know shit got real when Drewski has to bring out the comfort Chicken Fried Steak for a moral booster
I laughed way too hard at that whole segment. Been there, done that.
I love watching Shieys content, it's always amazing. I've seen both his trips to Chernobyl/Pripyat!
"Chicken Fried Steak is a pretty good coping mechanism." If I could have a senior quote, that'd be it XD
damn, that ending where the monolith guy snuck up on you like that. Man, I absolutely love the Stalker AI. Only AI where I legit cannot predict what they are going to do, they quick peek, sneak around, and flank so well.
Love Shiey's stuff, and this series is really interesting to me! Keep up the good work, this mod is sickkkk
the intro to this video was what really convinced me to play the stalker games well done.
This series is incredible! The little cinematography mixed in with the gameplay is so cool!
I can't believe one of my favorite youtubers also knows Shiey! I love his videos, some of them are insane but I respect him for the fact that he actively discourages people from doing what he does and would censor information that might give away the places he visits.
Have joyfully been following this series parallel to my own playthrough because it's so well stitched together (albeit suffering at times from a somewhat confusing edit) and now I'll simply have to comment on the track playing at the start of the game. That is an exquisite choice, perfecty mirroring both the horror-theme and the atmosphere of the game. I think there's an option in the game to set up your own playlist for when listening to the ingame radio. So thank you for supplying links to both it and the band making it, that way maybe I can include it into my own game's radio music.
Loving this series as well I can't lieeeee - these nighttime fire fights in the woods are so cool
And at 27:00 😂 what a fight to the death! 🏅
Was waiting for this for ages! I'm addicted to this series.
Did you know there was an "Escape from Pripyat" Modpack? It kinda makes it tarkov-ish.
Everything about this from the intro, to the meat, to the outro, is incredible. Makes me want to get back to playing my game again. Glad you're enjoying the game, man!
Stalker is until now one of the most admospheric games out there. I still love and play it. Great series so far. Keep up the great content!
12:11 lol, Ukraine doesn't care too much. Premature ending of your trip - that's the worst that can happen if you're caught. And maybe a fine.
Shiey's trip was awesome but there are some bonuses if you do it legally too. There are private tours that don't follow the same generic tourist route. They even do multi-day tours so you can spend a night in the zone. There is a working hotel in the town of Chernobyl. Staying there is quite an experience. Oh and did I mention having lunch at the nuclear power plant cafeteria? The same one where actual CNPP workers have their lunch every day.
Also, more Anomaly please! Really enjoying this series
The editing and comedy in this like the chicken fried steak anecdote are great. This serious is awesome. Thanks Drewski
I've actually been to Pripyat/Tsjernobyl. Was an amazing experience :) Did a 2 day tour, slept in a really creepy hotel in Tsjernobyl, walked with alot of dogs there, amazingly all super friendly dogs.
Puppy's everywhere, foxes (ate candy out of my hand), huge catfish in the old cooling-water inlet.
All that with a howling geiger-counter in you pocket hahahaha :D
Chernobyl/Černobyl
Really loved the episode
Your episodes inspired me to try out the mod myself.
I really enjoy Stalker Anomaly as my first real Stalker Experience
Also, that intro is incredible. Studios ought to hire Drewski to produce their trailer videos.
26:30 that's why I don't go out at night........... it's PURE HORROR. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
the fact that you SURVIVED is already... hats down to you.
13:13 that sound was a zombie walking into the stack of boxes leading to the rest of the facility. I had the same thing happen to me except I bumped into it.
holy, what's up with this cinematography!? Totally didn't expect that insane intro
What an into, Drew !
Really suits the atmosphere of the game.
Could you do it again for the next episode ?
Keep it up !
I'm so gratefull you give this series the love it deserves. STALKER has been one of my favorite series and it's just so lovely to see one of my favorite youtubers make a high quality series on it!
Who needs Netflix subscription when you have OperatorDrewski doing a STALKER Anomaly series that is so well edited
If you’re looking for more intro songs, I recommend ‘In the Pines’ by various artists. It has exactly the kind of anomalous and spooky feel that matches this game.
Cobain only
Man, I always end up eagerly awaiting the next ep everytime I finish watching this series. So fucking amazing drew, absolutely love the effort you put into these. Plus, stalker is my favourite game, so its always good to see people play it :D
Just stumbled over your 'Anomaly' videos while I was sifting YT for 'Stalker' videos, while being on memory lane. Watched the first one (which was actually the Day 2 video), got interested and gave it a like, because, well, I liked it a lot. And I barely watch any gameplay videos ever.
Here, you get my like right after that little intro, because I simply love it. F'ing brilliant.
How insane it is when you showing the ILLEGAL FREEDOM video and it shows up on my recommend at the same time
Watching you stumble into Radar without knowing what's in there has to be the most terrifying yet funny things I've ever seen, at least you picked the sneaky entrance.
Okay... this intro gave me FrankieOnPCin1080p vibes and the nostalgia hit me like a freight train. Keep up the great work and your astonishing editing skills.
That intro quality is nuts! It’s so cool watching a youtuber’s skills improve over the years. Keep it up dude, this stuff is dope!
I keep procrastinating dipping my toes into Anomaly but the intros on these are getting me all bothered
i'm getting all warm and fuzzy from these videos
when i play the game its nothing like this
@@caralho5237 Aye, the zone is different from all the eyes that see it, some wish to destroy it, some to preserve it, some to worship it and some to profit of it,.
I love this game so much. Jump in just experience the zone however you want. The community mods are absolutely amazing. I prefer to add a texture and sounds pack, boomsticks and sharpsticks (weaponry and optics), a graphical overhaul, and then I tweak a ton of settings myself to make weapon damage more like Tarkov and DayZ. It really breaks immersion when I have to shoot an unarmored human head more than once. Also optional is a medical overhaul which I usually do myself and magazine repacking. But the vanilla standalone mod is amazing out of the box and would recommend just sticking to that for your first play through. After you mod its a different beast.
I recommend getting a shotgun because the ammo is cheap and relatively strong whilst AK’s might be enticing they’re ammo isnt the most efficient rouble wise i also recommend ignoring the main missions and getting to rostok or army warehouses to do missions from Petrenko (duty in rostok that gives missions relatively close by) or the freedom counter-part i dont know never accept “give me this item” or “deliver this package” quests they take too long to do they’re too dangerous and give little money like 8k roubles compared to assassination missions that give around 15k roubles and are much easier and give more loot if you want variation you can go to garbage and do some missions for butcher they dont give much but are pretty decent theres also an alternative thats more dangerous but gives a lot of money i really recommend that you learn the game before you do this you can go to jupiter head to the scientist base and buy some artefact containers get a veles detector or above (dont even bother with anything below veles its like trying to read moonrunes) you also need some above average protection against radiation and psy with 1000 stalker rep you can get a ranger gas mask for about 30k roubles from sidorovich you can go to the stalker anomaly wiki and look at what anomalies are on what maps after that you can go around getting artefacts check the wiki for which artefacts are good or bad and you can keep the good ones after around 500 rep with scientists you can get a veles detector and a special container that allows you to equip artefacts and use their special abilities wrenched is a definite for any stalker i once made around 125k roubles from one run from about 7 artefacts it works well zaton, jupiter and red forest have the best artefact locations if your looking for good guns you have to make friends with mercenaries its a pain but in the outskirts or pripyat theres a friend merc base that you can do some missions for once you reach 1000 rep (1100 to be safe) you can go to the dead city and trade with dushmann he has the best NATO and russian gear in the game and the price is pretty good i cant give you pointers on armor though because i havent messed around with it that much i just use a ranger gas mask and a stalker nomad outfit from sidorovich (i might be mistaken on nomad armor because i forgot what it was called and there are 2 similar armors) i hope you have fun in stalker thanks for reading
Oh yeah i also recommend keeping a MRE and a bottle of water on hand at all times and at least 1-2 stimpacks once you’ve got some money because those will come in clutch if you lose 90% of your health at once also once you have at least one 100% condition item you should keep some repair items in your inventory and repair it when you need to
I hope this series give the mod and game a propor visibility. I'm a fan from the series since 2011, my first original game was STALKER Clear Sky. Good Job Drewski.
It's incredible how you shot parts of this like a film using that noclip type function. Really helps give the whole experience a cinematic vibe instead of being solely let's play POV. Bravo!
I do love the sounds from the bullets hitting close to you, quite scary.
what a serie! the inntro is so proffesionally smoth maded! and the ambient! loving it"!
So good this series! Getting strong Frankieonpc vibes here!
Was thinking the exact same thing here!
Bro the intro was cinematic. You could honestly make that a trailer for STALKER Anomaly. If you just changed what you said at the start then that would make a perfect trailer
What is this man?
"yes, these are the exact places I need to go and things to do. Ah, this is a good weapon."
"I didn't realize I could break the boxes to loot."
