As the viewer, not being sure if any second could be the last we see, I can't even fathom what you have gone through as the player putting untold hours into this playthrough, to have it happen like that. So instant. I don't even know how I would react. I think I would be stunned. So many emotions all at once. Anger, sadness, all at once. A truly incredible game edited by a real pro. It was like watching a movie.

[@fracturedkarlik4743]

As a seasoned Ironman runner I can tell you the further you progress, the more of a shock it is when your character is killed. It’s what makes the game so much more fun than playing normally, as staying alive actually has weight to it instead of just reloading a previous save.

This looked so fun, I ended up starting my own Ironman run. First try, I ran out of bandages and slowly bled to death over 15 minutes, without enough medkits to make it to a vendor. Second run, I’ve shut off the scorcher and just finally found a 6th basic toolkit so that I can make an advanced toolkit and repair some medium armors. It’s been a freaking BLAST.

If you actually make it to the medic don't buy the first aid get the treatment he will heal you're whole body for 1,850 rouble (I forgot what the name of it but it was at the bottom of trade) For people who are new to stalker there are 4 different type of trader First is the supplier every faction have one the more goodwill you have the more things he sell and also make some of things cheaper. Also I call it suppliers than trader because it sound lot more cooler. Next technician he will have some of the stuff you gonna need to repair your weapon if you give him all 3 tools his vice would be free. Next the medic he will have all medical stuff on sale he will also treat you if you got injury or radiation. I only recommend treating the injury. radiation can be easily get removed with vodka or cigarette's. Next is butcher. Butcher is a person and he is unique he sell hunting stuff for cheap you heard me right CHEAP you can get 20x70 for 600 rouble that's what I call a deal and other slugs if you disable gamma economy he will sell the best shotgun on the game. He is also one of the favorite trader on stalker anomaly

[@GroverRover]

Really appreciated you taking the time to talk about depression and your move into doing this full time. There's a large stigma surrounding doing anything for work outside of the "norm" like standard day jobs that 99% of the population have, but doing something you love will always be more valuable than any paycheck you can get from work. I tried to start up a YT channel because I love gaming and video editing and hit some good highs for a new channel, but ran into some serious depression recently due to outside events and basically stopped in my tracks. I'm trying to talk myself back into it but with everything else going on it's been a struggle. I think I'll find some time to work on a video soon and get back into it, thanks to you. Good looking out, Drew.

Had to fight them off with a knife. I believe I also found them in Radar and CNPP but as you can understand in such areas the brain gets a bit...hazy. I theorise given their proximity to areas with Scientific research facilities and given their attire they may be test subjects of the labs. Criminal or potentially even more sinister, Scientists who willingly or otherwise became Karliks and gravitate to heavily anomalous areas to protect themselves or hide in areas with other mutants, due to their own weakness and inability to defend themselves.

The weird twitter feed I think adds a lot to it. It is one thing to hear distant gunfire. It is another to hear distant gunfire, followed by a message that says "Killed a bandit" by some random guy, then an hour later run into that guy in person at a bonfire, then while out in the zone find the aftermath of that gunfight you heard an hour earlier. That radio chatter does a good job reminding you that everything in the zone is happening and not just background ambiance.

[@ABUBBA22]

@@erkintiko5132 it also does a good job telling stories. Like one time I had a guy brag about finding a dragon eye. Then later I looted a dragon eye off a bandit, guess where he got the dragon eye from... One thing I think the game is really missing is more personal interactions with the generic NPCs. While it's cool there are NPCs living their lives I wish there was a real way to build a relationship with them. Like gifting them food or other small items and they can gift you something in return later. And after building enough of a relationship they can be a follower. Something where it would matter more to speak with random travelers and look for friends while in camp. Also adds more impact to obituary reports if you recognize the name of the guy you have been talking too.

38:45 the flea market tends to have a lot of shenanigans during emissions. It counts as a shelter and bandits often run to it and the AI gets confused. They just kinda stare at eachother, occasionally get into a fist fight, and eventually kill eachother. I took shelter there today and watched them just walk in circles while punching one another every couple seconds.

[@slumberling]

34:10 fun fact. In pre-release builds of Shadow of Chornobyl, AI stalkers were affected by anomalies. They could throw bolts and tried to path around anomalies. This feature didn't make it into the release version but you can still make AI stalkers take damage from anomalies using the ai_die_in_anomalies console flag. It doesn't work in Anomaly or GAMMA because the game automatically flips it back to 'off' but it does work in Call of Chornobyl, for example. I still hope that someday the modding community can figure out how to code AI pathing around anomalies back into the game.

Aw man that ending though. So climatic but tragic. Awesome love the series. Really can't wait to see more through a new character. You make these so immersive and entertaining.

[@pistol0grip0pump]

40:00 Backpacks are also handy because you can use them as stashes and leave them somewhere you know you'll be "working" in a lot or know you're going to have a lot of loot. Have LOVED following this series, gonna suck when it ends.

[@Leo-mg9il]

You should make a one life series but with each faction! Loved these episodes btw !

[@rockypaine7240]

Probably my favorite interaction I have seen with Bandits and other NPCs is when my companion downed a bandit then proceeded to give him a speech before he blasted him in the head point blank with a SR2M

[@onearmedbandit84]

I will never not be in awe at the incredible editing work put into these videos.

[@wyattmarshall9968]

Agreed, can really tell the work he puts in

[@TheNoMNames]

The ending, holy shit

[@wyattmarshall9968]

@@TheNoMNames it got me good bro I was like “nooooo!” But he gave it his all

[@NumbSkullzor]

As an FYI, you can put a pistol/MP7/P90 in the binoculars slot so you could have 3 equipped guns at one time

[@multigwilty5154]

I felt so bad for your buddies as well at the end there, with the music it gave me chills. Can't wait for more!

[@mcyury6291]

do you know what the music title is?

[@xMarco07x]

Loved this series. We need something else like this. Try warfare or survival or similar modifiers. I can't wait

[@NuclearWarGaming]

Outstanding skills in both editing and gamewise. Super content, glad for the 3 episodes you gave us!

[@sleepingwolf2890]

Really hope you do more Gamma content. I was looking forward to this episode all week and I need more. Keep doing what you're doing man.

[@JPGjack]

You're one of my favourite content creators every Drewski, and the things you were saying as the sun rose after the 1:00:00 mark have solidified that for me, you're a great guy with a kind heart and I can't think of anyone who deserves to follow their dreams more

[@fullec24]

Seeing him make risky, real plays makes the gameplay feel relatable and entertaining, but getting to see a man double tap a zombie with the killing shot going in on its way down is why I watch the whole thing.

[@Kidobhuan]

This goes against everything my absolute monke brain is wired for, but I like how long these stalker videos are. I'd watch streams of this if I could sit in one place for long enough without dissolving into primordial soup.

"Remind Yourself That Overconfidence Is A Slow And Insidious Killer" -Ancestor As i watched the little army align i thought "probably he wont attack them", "ok he did, there goes nothing, dudes a good fighter", "got pushed by IA and cannot take the vital second head shot, sure he'll bail, advantage is not here anymore, if ever has been at all..." Then boom! A 1 life run keeps us afraid enough too keep us alive, there was an awesome pretty careful pace at the beginning, but good gear and good run always get fear slowly out of the equation, then boom! And the bottom line is that the 1-life xp for the player is really solid for next time better gear are present. Simply amazing series, please continue! :D

[@espen7367]

YESSS EP 3!!! this is like watching a movie series, keep up the amazing vids drew!

[@zerofounderz]

Drew you need to make more of this Gameplay man.. the contents is so freaking good i love it

[@jonbr0535]

So glad to see you doing ironman content for this game, I can't play it any other way. For your next run you should take the bandit pill.

[@Ropeium]

Watching this a year after you made it and man.., this was fucking epic. Just downloaded gamma for first time. Please do another Ironman run. So awesome.

[@toshineon]

This series is sooo good. It's what got me to download GAMMA myself.

[@Esque123]

Epic Outro!! War never changes

[@ActuallyJamie]

I need this series more often in my life. I'd be perfectly okay with much longer videos as well. 2-3 hours and longer is just fine.

[@qn3819]

THE BEST 3-5 HOURS OF S.T.A.L.K.E.R GAMEPLAY I'VE SEEN IN A HOT MINUTE. Thanks for showcasing Gamma, it's a bummer that it's over, this has been an amazing short series, the build up was the entertaining part, each methodical decision, building to progression of facing the North. I hope you reconsider doing another run in the future, as each playthrough you learn and adapt to new things. One aspect that might have made going through, and gaining experience in the Red Forest would have been Artefacts and the smelting of them. It's a key component of the game, and could've turned the tides. Thank you for sharing this awesome playthrough, and I'm excited to see more content you produce!

[@TheRealEvilSink]

I think one of the lessons can be that you sometimes have to take a chance to get to where you want to be. Im in a sort of similar position as you, and just having picked myself together after a long period of bad mental health its very hard knowing where to go next. One thing i have learned in recent times is that while others might have good intentions at heart when giving advice, they dont know my circumstances or person good enough to where i should give it as much weight as i have done previously. After all, what works for most people usually dont work too well for me in many situations and im learning as im going forward. I hope you do consider playing more GAMMA even if you end up dying. Its very fun to watch your adventure unfold :) Your fun times and love for the game really shines through the entire series and previous adventure in Anomaly. *Edit* Sad bois :(

[@kimbo5769]

I'm in the same boat as well, almost to a tea and it's kind of comforting in a way to know that I'm not the only one feeling these things; hopefully things improve for us to a point where we can feel better about our situation and begin to thrive in our life. Because it's hard to be doing well and then all of a sudden not, it completely saps your motivation but with time we will get it back. Edit:just corrections

[@jakubcekal5839]

Brilliant ! That edit at the end gave me chills.

[@NightFox109]

Well damn, that was a good solid and wholesome run. Kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the series wondering when it will happen. Nicely done

[@BERNTRR]

This series earned you atleast 1 sub. Great job bro, may i recommend a merc playthrough?

[@mykayeldelossantos2050]

The amount of sadness I felt at the end was immense

[@iiihccE]

Please for the love of everything keep playing this game!!!
