Sniping In This Game Is So Satisfying! - S.T.AL.K.E.R. Anomaly Story Walkthrough Ep. 4

[@senshi_dev_art]

I did just reach Strelok yesterday, i am going to switch over to GAMMA once i complete that story in Anomaly, but hell ,reaching Pripyat was hell.

[@Ahtnagarp]

dude, gamma is literally darksouls, reaching Pripyat in GAMMA need A LOT of preparation..

[@zacharypump5910]

Is gamma a sequel? So confused

[@senshi_dev_art]

@@zacharypump5910 Ok, so let me explain, Stalker Anomaly is a heavily modded version of Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl (if i am getting the trilogy correct), Anomaly was developed by Stalker fans in a way where you can get well over hundreds of Addons running at once, GAMMA is a modpack that turns Stalker Anomaly into a harder game but also overhauls it entirely making it almost like it's own secondary fan game. So, to recatch: Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl -> "Vanilla" Stalker Anomaly made by fans -> "Vanilla" Stalker GAMMA made by more fans

[@AvnerSenderowicz]

your use of the sounds hm and hmmm is very unique - and it totally works. i think it makes your narration extra immersive, or at least i enjoy hearing you do it.

[@Yubermis]

A Stalker fan since the release and a new viewer of your channel, this is good really content. The most amazing thing is how you move. It's like you're playing with a gamepad, so smooth moving and mouse-looking you're doing. I don't know if it's the same in the other videos (Haven't watched them yet) but it looks really cool, like a trailer.

[@CusterPlays]

Thank you! It’s all on purpose for the best viewing experience 🙏

[@vinportobg]

This game has everything for everyone from creepy hellspawn mutants lurking around in the shadows to crazy war fights with spectacular landscapes with deadly anomalies bending the laws of physic the game is masterfully made to keep you on edge. Even if you think you seen it all and found a safe spot just to enjoy the sunset in the game it has a way making everything go crazy out of control making you fight for dear life the next.

[@Rockport1911]

Sniping is so satisfying because you actually have a chance of hitting enemies from across the map :) Fighting in stalker is great but it still sucks that enemies can look and shoot through foliage and you cant figure out whos shooting at you for the longest time...

[@SlunceBlunce]

There is a GREAT mod that is called Opaque Bushes, you can even hide in the bush and the enemy will go past you and will not see you...

[@marcsang4529]

Sniper are king of the zone definitely

[@janussQv]

Very nice configuration of the game. Looks so much better than the version I'm running :D One thing that I hope will be in Stalker2 though, is that flashlight doesn't seem (at least to me) to cause enemies to spot you more. Takes away a bit from the immersion.

[@completelyretarded]

how does it take away the immersion when youre supposed to know when somebody is flashing a flashlight behind you? what youre saying doesnt make any sense, nvgs exists for that exact reason

[@janussQv]

@@completelyretarded do enemies notice that you use flashlight though? Maybe in gamma, but in standard stalker they dont seem to spot you better

[@FinUgShiet]

@@janussQv im my opinion in anomaly also they spot u easier with flashlight on. But that's just my subjective experience, not 100% sure how it is programmed.

[@Sarj_ent]

Idk what you do but your video quality is amazing. Very little compression and high bitrate. It looks and feels like native 1440p

[@CusterPlays]

100k bitrate Will do that but also takes forever to render and upload 😂. KZbin still destroys most of the quality in highly density foliage

[@pinejungleboogie3563]

I feel like red forest and garbage need an expansion, alway felt like they needed more farms and infrastructure, also I feel like the hills and shrubbery would serve as a good buffer between smaller connected and/or disconnected underground instances. Also wolves and bears would be cool

[@CusterPlays]

Imagine the framerate if the red forest was the size of jupiter tho ahah

[@That1FamousWRX]

I love watching your videos. I have a question about the game. When using your headlight, does the enemy “see” the difference between natural light and artificial lighting? I know the script programming of the game has to be written in for that to happen. I see you turn on your headlamp in dark areas and it seems they walk past you or don’t notice that someone has a light on,

[@MaiaCoimbra]

[@crazyforblues1967]

Ghillie suit made of paper apparently, and it doesn't seem to keep enemies from seeing you... looks cool as hell Tho. 🤣. Cheers buddy love your videos! 👍

[@jhonrock2386]

Question: Is there some game mechanic attached to the ghillie suit? Does it really make you harder to see by the NPCs, or its appearance is just for show? I have it in my "safehouse" but didn't used it yet, cuz I was waiting to get my hands on a good suppressed sniper rifle (which I didn't get NONE till now), to complete the "build" (oh well, I think I could use the VSS Vintorez, which I have several, but I want a "full powered" rifle).

[@bobthebuilder5213]

Hey dude the primary secret to the success of ur days gone video was the full guy standing looking over the wasteland thumbnail & not just guns in thumbnails.I really want u to succeed bcoz ur videos r well made,editing & bgm placement is on point & story telling is not overzealous & fake, that is why if I start watching I won't even know when the video ended.Please take it as a suggestion 😀.

[@CusterPlays]

What do you mean with this?

[@bobthebuilder5213]

@@CusterPlays I think u should change the thumbnail of videos that u made after days gone from just guns in the thumbnail to survivor with that gun surviving in the wasteland or crouching behind a enemy or killing an enemy stealthily or guns blazing like some alteration of the days gone thumbnail.People seem to connect & click videos with thumbnails having people in it or the said person in action.

[@CusterPlays]

Alright alright. You do know that stalker is a first person game right? That would be misleading at best. Also, Days Gone only has 130k views, i have videos with this sort of thumbnail which much more views my dude In fact, this video has a higher CTR than Days Gone, which means people clicked it more often, which tells me the thumbnail was better

[@BlackBirdLTU]

You can try vanilla Anomaly just to get accustomed to the game. Then you can try GAMMA. Also, if things are too difficult, Anomaly and GAMMA have a lot of difficulty settings for you to tweak to find your own pace. Also, please try original STALKER games. They are also good.

[@CusterPlays]

@@BlackBirdLTU Honestly... Try this modpack.. NPCs have realistic loadouts and its easy to get stuff

[@SlunceBlunce]

Gamma is definitely not a good pack for beginners. And it is most definitely not the best of the packs out there. Either mod the game yourself (requires a lot of patience and forum readings) or just play EFP or some other mod pack.

[@jhonrock2386]

Maaaaan, crossing from Red Forest, coming from Army Warehouses and going to Jupter can be a fucking nightmare. At certain point, you will have a monolith outpost on your front, a Sin base on your left and a bunch of the most dangerous mutants in the zone on your back. Oh! And on your right there is only a hill on which you can't climb. Its very common to find Monolith & Sin fighting other factions in that area, which, in theory, would make it a bit easier to cross (just running like a crazy bitch), but the AI in this game is sooooo fucked up that you can't do that. The moment they see you, they will forget everything they were doing before and aim only at you. Like, every single NPC who have you, the player, flagged as enemy, you disengage from their previous targets and target you. If, for example, you are from Freedom, and in that area Duty, Monolith and Sin are fighting, they will forget they differences and unite to kill you. This AI behavior is really annoying.
