    I can't believe you mentioned Wormwood. It was a real passion project... And some of us who worked on it still talk about it, we had a real roadmap and ideas. We had a good team. We figured out COP mapping and were expanding on interiors, and adding new interiors to spaces already available in COP. Those were the days. I was so excited.

      I helped create new textures, we were adding old school propganda posters to walls. We were building posters for the factions. We worked on the weapon attachment system and expanded on that. But the big thing was to add to the maps, so many buildings were hollow husks and we wanted to open them.

    I never played STALKER before Anomaly, and for a while I was hesitating to stay on Anomaly or go to Gamma, and ever since I installed Gamma I never regretted it. It's such a great modpack, so simple to install and keep updated, and the gameplay is just so fun. The beginning was insanely difficult, probably the hardest game I've tried and I'm adept to hard games, I love them. But once I got used to it, every mod and addon worked perfectly hand in hand, it was like every mod is perfect for each other. After 2 long playthroughs, I'm still thoroughly enjoying the game and I still haven't discovered everything, which is fantastic. One thing I wasn't sure about was the weapons you need to repair, but it's truly what makes Gamma special and once you get used to it and all the complicated systems it holds, it is so very fun to scavenge dead stalkers in order to get weapon parts and hopefully a nice weapon.

    *Two features THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED* found in clear sky (faction wars + complete mod) that i have YET to see in any other mods or add-ons is...
    1. Item: Pad lock.
    It never made sense how everyone is a scavenger yet there are stashes everywhere and other stalkers leave them there. In the mod I played you could buy a padlock that you could throw into your chest/bag/box and only you could open it. Otherwise, you could leave it unlocked and hope it doesn't get raided which most likely happens.
    2. Confrontations when raiding corpses.
    The same mod also had a feature I've never seen in any other mods. If there's a shootout and let's say 2 bandits are the victors and you come along and try to loot the bodies they just dropped they (they stalkers who killed them) will stop you and tell you to give it back. A dialogue box opens up and you can give 4 option responses. Starting from "Take it i don't want trouble" to "If you don't back off there's going to be one more body on the ground". Each response comes with a degree of "respect" lost by giving it, more respect lost the more aggressive your response. Respect is gained by helping that faction in any way (help killing enemy faction, acquiring bases/spots). The more Respect you have the the more you can lose when you give more aggressive responses. If you have no or low respect and the response you give is aggressive then THEIR response will be _MORE_ aggressive than yours usually ending in a shootout. If you have high respect then most times they back off, you just lost Respect towards your next encounter but you get to keep everything you looted.
    #2 actually has more dynamic options but that's the gist of it.
    When the shootout begins you can be quicker on the draw and kill them, have no respect, and keep all the loot. You can choose to play a real scumbag!
    These two features seem like they would be incorporated into other mods/add-ons because not only do they fit the world but make it way more fun, yet, I've never seen them incorporated all the way up to CoC 1.5!
    I hope Anomaly has them. Does GAMMA have something similar?

    • @grok_gamma
      @grok_gamma 2 роки тому

      For the pad lock, there's a mod like this under development, not a fan of it honestly, getting your stuff stolen without knowing the system can be a real pain. In gamma there's nothing in unmarked stashes, you need to get info about stashes location from ennemies PDAs or by simply looting them (checking their notes on paper) or buying stash locations from traders.
      For the looting thing, there are various options like that in gamma making you unable to loot stuff from stalkers you didn't kill, or making other NPCs more prone to loot anything in the first come first served manner.

      In EFP 3.0 you can make stashes and the npcs can't seach them (i dont know if this is in vanilla Anomaly because i never played it)
      Also, in the same mod you have NPC Loot Claim: Enemies killed by NPCs will make the bodies unlootable for the player, you can get up to 3 warnings before the NPCs that killed the body you're trying to loot turn hostile to you.

    @lemonstevie4870 2 роки тому +14

    Probably spent about 40 hours with GAMMA on a loner so far. Just about to head into Radar after doing the defense mission. (Survivalist / Hard difficulties)
    I think GAMMA is fantastic, it's mostly what I want and I've encountered bugs and CTD's as is typical, but they're pretty infrequent for the most part.
    Progression feels very slow, probably due to the outfit and weapon repair mechanics and item crafting. On one hand, I'm largely used to being able to buy outfit and weapon upgrades from traders, but not being able to does add an "oh shit" reaction when you finally find an actual upgrade, like a radsuit or sphere-08 and above; and from there they haven't been difficult to repair as long as you have advanced tools. Same with weapons if you hoard weapon parts like I do, even though you can also use the associated repair kit to clean the parts and the weapon at the same time via the maintain weapon option if you must. I still haven't found expert tools, and I'm not sure if they are actually just that insanely rare now or I've been insanely unlucky, but not having them does it make it impossible to get the best NVG's and equipment upgrades. Overall, I think weapon and outfit repairs is different and nice at times, but I still think fresh outfits and weapons should be available either from higher reputation traders or at a high markup. Additionally having all my crafting stuff in one place discourages me from branching out too far from where I'm keeping them, which I think is just bad albeit a side effect and imo a problem Anomaly has always had, maybe leaning too hard into it.
    Pistols and some SMG's being able to go into the binoc slot is really nice and helps them not be irrelevant later when you are rocking two decked primaries like an AR / Shotgun or Sniper / Shotgun.
    Small thing, but limiting fast travel is a great compromise for me. Can't do it willy-nilly, have to pay for it according to distance, and it's on a cooldown, but can still do it when you're feeling lazy or just looted the merc base.
    Weapons still feel good. Buckshot should hurt a little more than throwing a twinkie at an obese person when it isn't against anything wearing something better than a leather jacket, but slugs will one or two shot if they penetrate still. .45 Hydrashok is insanely strong against mutants.
    Artifacts are weird now. I still don't know if I like it. My goal is to get a full durability compass, and I don't expect that to happen for a long time.
    You essentially fuse crappy artifacts to get good crappy artifacts, and then make more of those good crappy artifacts to combine them to increase their durability (and positive and negative effects). This pretty much means you can't really make money with artifacts in my experience, unless you really luck out and just get a full durability one, which I've only had happen once so far. It kinda feels like a goose chase trying to get the artifacts you need to make certain artifacts you'll also need to craft the artifacts you really want, and that part is rather tedious. Until I get high tier and durability artifacts, I have a hard time justifying using them over the much more easily crafted (and often more powerful) belt items like the improved freon or kevlar / carbon steel plates. I think the only direct positive I see in this at the time of writing is that you can eventually get the artifact you want, regardless of rarity, but it will take a lot of grinding anomaly fields to get it if it's a higher tier one.
    I always thought the limb health system was obnoxious, but I can see how other people would like it. It's not really too difficult to deal with, especially when you can start easily crafting fentanyl.
    I've noticed gravitational anomalies are more dangerous, which I like. Springboards aren't the only one that actually pose a threat anymore.
    Atmosphere is top notch with stuff like the Horror Overhaul and others. With most of the mods I've played, I'm kinda too used to standard STALKER gameplay and don't really get as immersed as I once did; GAMMA is able to reel me in and keep me reeled in and I end up playing it until 3 am when I do boot it up.
    Pretty spectacular mod, really. Updates are daily, big and small and Grok is always responding in his discord. I'm not really sure how the dude / dudette sleeps. Not having to install all the shit yourself is a big plus as well and is what kept me away from coming back to Anomaly all the time.
    Big 'ol wall. I'm just a dude. Try it yourself.
    Take it easy.

      @grok_gamma 2 роки тому +2

      Thanks for the big review Champ! Few points:
      - Artefacts do spawn everywhere and at anytime now. And with dedication you can quickly get your first compass rather fast. Once you go to red forest it's pretty fast to get whatever you want from the crafting system since tier 3 artefacts can spawn there directly. Indeed red forest is very dangerous, but I like it being so lucrative. Artefacts can still give you some money, especially for artefacts that are out of the crafting loop for Lucifer / Compass / Volat Emerald. Get a task asking for one, empower it to 98% and get about 40k RU in one go. Even tier 1 artefact at 20% in the beginning can give you like 1200 to 2000 RU in hard / survivalist.

    Hey great vid man ! I never played the stalker series but I would really like to, so I started watching your videos and I have some questions, that maybe you could answer (or make a video about like : getting started on stalker). I would like to play the original game's stories and I know everyone says to play the games without mods to get the developper vision but it really is a big hold back for me. Maybe if you played the games back then the sounds and graphics don't get in the way but, nowadays I can replay only old games if I played them back then. So do you have mods you recomend for a new player to enhence the 3 games so I know I will actually finish them ? Thank's in advance if you have the time to answer !
    PS : est-ce un accent français que j'ai cru entendre ? 😄

    I've been playing GAMMA for the past week and I'll have to say this is the best Stalker experience you can have right now. Normally in Anomaly I get bored around the time you head into Radar because I'm walking around in an exo already with good guns. The removal of guns and outfits from traders is a fantastic change, you rely almost completely on stashes and looting to progress and its designed in a way that finding a high end item doesn't break progression because you will still have to obtain the parts and tools to make it functional again. There are daily updates to the pack and the installer makes it so it only takes 2 buttons and ~10 minutes to get the newest version, which is amazing considering there are 291 addons at the time I'm writing this.

    @globmonkey200716102 2 роки тому

    Gamma sounds pretty good, with the new quests and artefact stuff and cheaper meds (EFP plz bro my legs), but the weapon and armor repairing stuff sounds tedious. I like EFP because once you hit your stride, you're more free to see a gun you like and buy it and play around with it after a little bit of this repairing-based gameplay in the early game, which also seems more realistic for factions with backing like the mercs or military, who it makes no sense would be getting no arms from their country/benefactor to brave the zone with. I'll probably still try the list though, just because I can.

    • @grok_gamma

    I still miss the Misery 2.1 vibe and atmosphere. I just can't find that anywhere. For replay ability Anomaly is a very good mod, but I find that after some time, I start to know the majority of the spawn spots of mutants and NPCs and the bugs in the economy(Is it me or cooking meat is actually expensive?). In Misery I find that everything seems random. I can't seem to know where mutants spawn and where and when they will attack, as well as where NPCs will be and what faction they are. That is what makes Misery unpredictable and scary to travel on. You never know what you might find at the next corner and need to be always on alert. In Anomaly, Mutants and NPCs are more predictable. I know where they normally spawn and they will mostly just stay at one place doing nothing but just wait for the player to reach their lair and only then they act, when most of the time I spot them first.

I've got a tiny little 500GB SSD and havent wanted to uninstall EFP in order to try Gamma, and just in general wasn't sure if it was going to be something I liked more. But the systems in EFP just arent quite balanced in a way that keeps things interesting and I've made a thousand new characters at this point, and got bored with it a couple months ago. I think I'm finally downloading Gamma tonight. I remember seeing early builds of it and thinking it sounded like it would be good, but at this point so many people are raving about the current build that I would be stupid not to try it.

    How does this mod affect enemies being able to see you with pinpoint accuracy, even through bushes and such? This was my main gripe in Anomaly, they always saw me first. I couldn't detect enemies without binocs (which felt clunky because target identification always took a few seconds).

So is there a way to change those things?

    • @CheekiBreekiTv
      @CheekiBreekiTv  2 роки тому

      Having to loot damaged guns and make choices on what to repair, whats the best to use depending on your gameplay and not being able to buy them brand new at traders is core of the GAMMA gameplay, with the whole economy / crafting balanced around it. Same for stashes and RF missions (harder to get, but better rewards, and the more north / dangerous places you go the better they get).
      Personally I find it way more rewarding this way and as I said in the video its one of the reasons I love GAMMA so much, because it ticks all the boxes on how I love to play the game.
      It's totally fine if you don't like it, everybody has different tastes and we're lucky to have so many different mods and addons that will let you customize the game to your liking. If you don't like some of the core features just don't play GAMMA, there's hundreds of other mods out there!

      EFP is mainly about being rich and buy stuff (with a very bad balance imo). GAMMA is about scavenging, repairing, crafting and cooking with about every system overhauled compared to EFP. New rads effects that make sense, new artefacts spawning logic and crafting that actually make artefacts a major part of the gameplay, better damage system to the player etc. More fair, more streamlined, less annoyances, and with an emphasis on survival.
