STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Mod Thread

[Taim]

Honestly, I thought True Stalker is terrible, and removes all the dynamic things that made Stalker interesting. It's a mostly linear experience that relies too much on cutscenes and has limited AI. While playing it, I thought "this is what Stalker 2 will be like, just with better graphics" which is not a good feeling to have while playing a Stalker game.

Its very true to SoC that had very limited non-roaming AI tied to certain zones, the ai couldn't roam between ai-life zones or maps like we see with anomaly derivatives. People who hail SoC as holy grail forgets about stuff like this, mostly because of nostalgia. No one also remembers the arcade shooting mechanics.

SoC still allowed for dynamic stuff to play out in the admittedly limited way it presented it.

In True Stalker there's a quest where you go to hunt a bunch of flesh and you quickly realize the entire QUEST is scripted - you literally are wasting bullets by firing them - all of the flesh are programmed to die with our without your input.

Other quests literally spawn you into the line of fire of 4 bandits at once.

I have never played such a polished mod that enforces absolutely 0% player agency at any given point. What a disappointment.

If anyone wants to play SoC i recommend autumn aurora, or radiophobia for more modern[and buggy] rendition. Vanilla SoC aged poorly.

vanilla soc is perfectly fine. if you care about it being a more polished experience, then all you need is the Zone Reclamation Project

I knew this mod was gay just from looking at it, but I didnt know it was that bad. That's actually appalling

Oblivion Lost aka Shadow of Chernobyl (? The first STALKER) is the only real STALKER you can experience, everything else is a cheap imitation, mods or games.

Bullshit, Clear Sky and Call of prypriat are good experiences too.
