THIS is how a youtube "list video" should be made! no random bullshit to make videos longer and just straight to the point.

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Ahahh thanks! I try to make videos I would myself want to see, so straight to the point it is!

true, great videos without clickbait and etc shit

I agree but a few USEFULL tangents would be cool. Similar mods, personal experience, etc…

After seeing this video I’m afraid stalker 2 will disappoint me

[@ArmouredProductions]

They said they're going to have better and easier Mod Support for Stalker 2, so even if Stalker 2 is more basic like the original 3 games, it's still going to be moddable as hell, and even more so since they're going to have integrated Mod Support.

[@MrKret69]

@Tristan George If they provide mod support and seamless open terrain (no loading of maps), I think the scene will do the rest. But You're right, this mod beats everything STALKER and many other games.

[@Kolibriwi]

I hope i can run the game at 30 fps

[@fordprefect80]

I'm pretty sure Stalker 2 will disappoint me regardless of any add-ons.

As it turns out, you can never actually finish playing STALKER

[@aryabratsahoo7474]

It's more like a freeplay like game. There is no linear/main story that you have to follow. You simply have to survive the harsh Zone.

[@MrWepx-hy6sn]

You can take a Stalker out of the Zone but never the Zone out of a Stalker

[@theisgood0]

Naw it’s impossible even once you have like the best gear it just becomes more fun. Such a top tier game.

[@sleepshouter5017]

@@aryabratsahoo7474 there’s the original games which had stories. Lost alpha and wind of time have good stories too. I actually really love shadow of Chernobyl’s story and that game alone is the reason why I enjoy stalker as much as I do. It’s what got me into loving the idea of the zone. Dark, dreadful, and dangerous

[@skull222k]

i just love starting with nothing then finally getting enough money to buy one gun lol its the little things that make me happy in this game

[@freejrs]

Great! Nice to hear music from Stalker film in the background. I love that track.

[@vsirius7732]

This game is like a ghost from my childhood coming back to visit me every now and then and make me remember how exciting it was to play, and no matter how good new games look or what they offer, I still return to this like I'm visiting my childhood. This game had a mood, a feeling that is hard to explain. Sitting around the campfire and listening to that guitar made me feel warm and safe, and then a loud thunder, night sky lights up red, stalkers start frantically running towards shelter, blood curdling howls and we get ambushed by chymeras. Some of us make it. Bandits join us but nobody shoots at anyone, because this is the unspoken rule...at least until the emission is over and then the killing starts. We shoot those bandits and loot them, and everything is quiet again, for a while.

[@liutauraszavadskis846]

This games atmosphere feels very real as if you were in there in the zone, and that's what I love about it and with these mods it makes this games world more real and unforgiving which let's you immerse yourself and live or more likely survive in it for a few more hours.

[@brothermalleus4525]

[@Atned]

I just got into stalker a few weeks ago and I've got to say.. this is like Fallout's older more mature brother who takes shit a lot more seriously. Huge thanks for putting together a list of top-shelf mods like these. The unmodded game is still amazing, but it definitely needs a few fresh layers of paint to add some more allure to it. Absolutely stoked for the sequel! The closest we'll have for now is Escape from Tarkov lol

[@Ray-yv7kn]

Bruh Fallout 1 and 2, the OGs, is from 1997 and 1998 respectively. And about taking itself seriously, well the first two games and New Vegas did. Too bad you only know of Bethesda's stuff by the time you wrote this comment.

[@DivineXPotato]

yeah honestly like im not even much of a fallout fan but if you don't think they take themselves seriously or aren't dark go play new vegas or the older games. I don't know if i'd be as aggressive as ray about it, but he does have a point. Stalker (anomaly) is more akin to fallout 3 or 4's older brother. And then i'd argue the actual stalker games are ALOT different then the "good" fallout games. They become their own beasts, but understandably most people don't have anything else to compare it to. Same way we get "is x game the new SOULS of (insert genre here)" Like no, it rarely is, its just that a large amount of people see souls as intrinsically tied to "its difficult" where few games are actully souls like, i.e. in its death mechanics or overall gameplay. The closest i can think of that isn't made by fromsoft is hollow knight and that is just because death actually matters and isn't just a "oh i lost 4 minutes of time" but yeah, i'd suggest playing some fallout new vegas or something if you want something more serious/dark. But if you specifically like stalker for its gunplay then fair game.

Very interesting, Ive been trying to get back into the stalker universe for the past couple years but have been overwhelmed by the seer amount of good quality mods available nowadays (only ever used the complete SoC mod years and years ago). Between Autumn Aurora, Misery, CoC etc I am finally confident that Anomaly is my way back! Glad to see some gameplay features of Tarkov been transferred into this as well, although I dislike that game's MMOish aspect, the gunplay is simply amazing and a great hope that more developers pay that kind of attention to this aspect in whatever projects the future will bring! Get out of here :)

Thank you Cheeki Breeki for the blyatiful presentation... XD. One MOD you may forgot is the "1st Person Visible Body". It is kind of important i think. Makes you feel less crawling on your ballZ, when looking down on your feet.

[@grimvon3993]

Thanks a lot, man, just thanks a lot. Your video is still absolutely relevant. I simply can not play add-on packs, like gamma, efp, and so on, because it's just a mess of add-ons that I do not understand how to set up, add-ons that filing your's backpack, and the whole gameplay, with junk, and add-ons that turns the game visuals into the shiny attack of epilepsy. If you want to play the stalker(anomaly) of your dream - you should modify it by yourself, otherwise you have to play the combat bum simulator, under the stimulants.

[@gearswarx]

i love your content.

[@NonFictiion]

I can for sure say, after spending about 2-3 hours with these mods and trouble shooting what was going wrong, it was always the magazine mod combined with other ones that was crashing my game. I love the idea of packing mags and having separate magazines but it seems to un-compatible with other un updated ones..? I got to the point where I had about 3 or 4 patch mods just for the mag mod and decided to leave it alone. Thanks for video!

[@nathancock2615]

what mods did you end up actually using because i was having the same problem ?

[@NonFictiion]

@@nathancock2615 here is my mod list in order Food animations, HD Models, Instant tool tips, death animations, white dots, groks stash overhaul, trader overhaul, traders buy damaged stuff, outfit new icons, sco3 1 through 4, sco3 new footsteps, (I found this next one VERY important) sco3 new object sounds (says its optional but i needed it), jsrs 1-3, BaS, quick melee food drug drink, 07. patch AFTER JSRS PORT 3.6 OVERHAUL, B&S patch, optional B&S +SS&S Config patch, finally, main compatibility patch. Long list but works perfect for me!

[@Username_999]

OnegRiot's MUH Immersion Pack is very nice compilation, no crashes, no bugs at all. I fell in love with that reworked main menu and music :^) However, it's worth mentioning it comes with stash overhaul & modified drop rewards which are by many considered as casual trash changes making the game and progression too easy, be sure to turn them off by modifying .mep file before you load it with JSGME mod manager.

Solid the only thing you should consider about grey dots they remove some tactical element form the game as they let you know that you killed the enemy while sometimes you might be unsure in vanilla

[@theisgood0]

Long time stalker fan here love the videos! I just got this mod and its by far the most stable experience I've had with a stalker game. Also its 100% free, the mod, you don't even need to own any of the games. But you should play the stalker games and buy them off steam they go on a great sale sometimes and you can pick up all 3 games! That aside I have installed about 12 large addons for this mod. No issues after about 15 hours. I had a minor crash I threw a grenade inside the bar while it was quite packed......yeah game did not approve of that crap. This is by far one of the best atmosperic games out there, maybe even in the top 5. If you like Metro 2033 Series, Crysis 1, Escape from Tarkov and other open world freeplay games. Then this is for you.

[@jimwu4579]

Thanks!

[@mazzpsykoziz]

Just to let people know, check trader overhaul update date if you plan to use it with Boomsticks. It has a compatibility patch but last I checked it has not been updated for the latest versions of Boomsticks which means the traders will stock items that are no longer used by the mod and seems to not stock newer items. Also couldn't seem to get HollywoodFX to work with the latest version of Boomsticks but for some reason cinemaFX did. Do not ask me how that works but it does.

[@mxndelx300]

Great great and necessary video! Can you upload a build of the game with the mods?

[@notrekvlt4431]

Nice video! Love this list. I'd like to throw in my 2 cents though; The JSRS doesn't make the weapons sound more realistic to be honest :) I've been in the norwegian military for many years and the vanilla sounds are actually closer to the real deal, even though the vanilla sounds still aren't close to what real weapons sound like :)
