True Stalker Finally Released...

[@Matias-dr3ys]

reworked areas and new story is what i want in stalker mods because the reason i dont play stalker anymore is because i seen everything and went through all the maps so many times that its boring now.

[@samargrewal929]

then try stalker story mods

they have those with anomoly

Dude, this is right up your alley then!

Happy to see you tried the mod, even made a video on it! It's an amazing experience! Good Video, Blue.

[@bluetherobot]

Dude, thanks for showing it! It was definitely a surprising experience. I think even Custer might make a video too, and I saw Klean stream it. It might blow up!

[@heinobrummer1044]

I've been playing this game the whole afternoon and holy crap is it good. I love the way the story progresses and you don't just immediately jump into the next areas. Each area has it's own set of quests and events that work really well together. The cutscenes and basically just every quest I've done sofar just feels like an actual experience instead of just - Go to place, kill this, pick up this etc. Each quest has a flow to it and progressing and getting a new gun or making money feels great. The new landscape and soundscape is super immersive and the gunplay is really satisfying, like REALLY satisfying. For example guns feel like you would expect them to. Pistols are weak but if you use them right can help you in a pinch. Shotguns feel powerful and can launch a gopnik 😂. Rifles feel like assoult weapons and omg the snipers just plant dudes. There is also a good balance in the economy like the amount of money you make compared to how much ammo you can buy with it all just works. The interface is simple and easy to use and I really dont mind not having a PDA style menu. I also love that your personal stashes are synced, it really makes it so much easier to dump loot unlike in anomaly where I'd have to walk far to my main stash to offload stuff I want to keep. I really found my new daily game. I just can't believe this game is free, its much better than most AAA games

[@bluetherobot]

I didn't even know the stashes were linked. That's awesome! Also I want to use the sentence Launch a gopnik in real life now. Glad you enjoyed the video, and glad you are enjoying the mod as well.

[@jackwalkermitchell9393]

Excited to be able to actually download it !

[@bluetherobot]

Yeah. The Google drive is getting overwhelmed, so it may take some time.

[@blinddog]

OK i've played a little. I'm totally into this and definitely will make video of this one

[@bluetherobot]

Dude! It's so good.

[@darahdoea1291]

The game feels great. Like the original stalker games. It's simple, looks good, and it's has story in it.

[@bluetherobot]

Definitely! Gotta get more time in it.

[@NoClipExtraction]

Stalker never gets it wrong hope you had a good Christmas work has been crazy busy thanks for the proper guide i might give this a try 💯 👊

[@bluetherobot]

Had a great Christmas. Hope you had a great one as well.

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

I honestly had some fun with this for the first 30 hours on the hardest difficulty... But I absolutely hated the railroading. It wouldn't let me outright kill the Bandit Leader, even though I know by that point that I can solo the base with skill and my trusty shotgun alone. A fact that would soon be proven when I returned to Dark Valley and their essential flags were turned off. You're scripted to be knocked out constantly even when you're in a fully upgraded exosuit up against Bandits in trenchcoats and just old AK-74s. And you're forced to make stupid rookie Stalker mistakes even though you're a seasoned Stalker. Enjoyment gradually became dissatisfaction as I just wanted it to stop. Then I realized that they made this like a modern Bethesda game... It did get me to try Radiophobia 3 though. It may still be Shadow of Chernobyl, but THAT is a true Stalker experience.

[@bluetherobot]

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Now I'm loving Radiophobia

[@baconbacoon4801]

Absolutely stellar mod! Wish the mod didn't change the inventory ui into a modern mess that cuts out the convenience of being able to at least see half of what's going on around you when you have it open.

[@bluetherobot]

Wish it was moddable.

[@Mnerd7368]

Release date for Stalker 2 Heart of Chernobyl is September 5th, 2024. 8 more months until release date 😢

[@bluetherobot]

I know. Sad

[@Mnerd7368]

​​@@bluetherobot I checked the Epic Games Store in Stalker 2 and has 150GB (one-hundred and fifty gigabytes) of content which is overkill and most amount memory consuming from Unreal Engine 5.3.2 as this is the latest version of UE 5.

This mod is probably the closest to what stalker 2 gonna feel like...its so fresh after GAMMA i just love it

[@bluetherobot]

I cant wait till Stalker 2 mods start to come out.

[@judsongaiden9878]

Can you dodge pseudogiant pseudostomps like you can in ShoC? Can you aim any and/or all types of grenade launchers? Are there super long-jumping "man-eating" snorks? Is there a debug mode or spawn menu (great for creating Zone Sportsmanship Challenges)? Did they overdo it with Wick flick reload animations and/or the Center Axis Relock shooting technique (aka "the Wick tilt")? Do any of the reload animations depict an "emergency" reload in place of a "tactical" reload? Are there functional vehicles? And is there a gameplay mode that lets you play as a fleshy piggy fleshpig that can smell with its eyeballs a go go?! 🙃

[@bluetherobot]

Ok, a lot of questions that can be answered pretty simply. It plays more like the original game. So no vehicles, etc.

[@exanyt]

Honestly it's not bad until you get to the point where you get knocked out almost every few seconds because the story writers suck ass at making a decent story. Seriously it got annoying at one point where I was seriously thinking about dropping the game.

[@bluetherobot]

Yeah, it was kinda annoying, wondering how this guy can get snuck up on every few hours... lol

[@eramsha]

Very nice and talented work so amazing keep it up 😊😊

[@bluetherobot]

Thank you so much 😀

So sad ths is not made in OpenXRay, i feel like if it was, you could install all those juicy graphics mods

[@Dominique9325]

The mod looks cool from what I can see here, but the thing that really ruins it for me are the playdough hands, I wonder if there's an addon that changes that, or if they will change them in the future, the hands just look so bad they'd take away from the immersion pretty badly.

[@bluetherobot]

Dude, when they get wet too, it's weird looking. Lol

[@stockedrice8340]

i might sound stupid but how do u actually install the thing

[@bluetherobot]

You're fine, dont worry. I believe I said it in the video around 2:09. But just to clarify, download the files into a folder and drive of your choosing, and make sure both the exe file and bin files are in that folder. Click on the exe, and it should install from there.

[@cmoneytheman]

This is a weird error. My game won't start at all, even though I disabled my virus protector. tried multiple times, playing sound in the background, but nothing works. just keeps saying openal can't create Even got the game updated

[@bluetherobot]

I would do a fresh install to be honest. Haven't seen that error.

Sadly not off the top of my head. Just re-install, and make sure all the bin files are in the same folder as the exe file when installing.

[@QuickPixls]

so is this has all the 3 stalkers stories in one game?

[@bluetherobot]

sorta. it runs on open xray engine.

[@QuickPixls]

Yea it's a great engine! But is it a different story line, cuz i see you guys surprised from the chapters @@bluetherobot

[@bluetherobot]

Yeah. Absolutely loving it though. And its pretty gorgeous.

Can't download exe file from Gdrive :/ Any clues?

[@bluetherobot]

Possibly too many downloads at a time...

I hope so @@bluetherobot I'd really love to try this

[@esat8975]

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt gamma just superior when it comes to pure gameplay

[@bluetherobot]

Depends on personal taste. I see it like this. Gamma is for hardcore survival, EFP for guns and firefights, and True Stalker for a more old school updated feel

[@cmoneytheman]

reinstalling openal doesn't workThat's been said for years, even after installing it with the normal, fresh stalker games. I even have the regular cop, and it won't work with certain mods; it will give that sound error,like remake the highest former hd mod doesnt work on win 10 for me with cop/yet realism mod works still cant play this even after 6 months of commenting on this page how i couldn't run this version

I have a problem with this mod and need help. When I trye to leave the cordon map despite finishing all quests from Sidorovich I get the massage the the PASSAGE IS BLOCKED. What should I do?

[@bluetherobot]

[@MrDavid50c]

yes thx for your answer :D @@bluetherobot

[@SpikeVike27]

Check your current "story quest" objective. This mod is Chapter based rather than open-world, so game wouldnt let you to travel next loaction until story lets you. Also, there's initially only one passage to Garbage, the central one, west passage would be unlocked later from Garbage. Agroprom and Dark Valley are chapters 3-4 i think and Swamps aren't in the mod

[@OgOssman]

Did you get it from the Russian site? I'm a little scared to dl it.

[@srddnrsmn7320]

But does it have ak-12? o.o

I wish. But not sure, due to not knowing more about Gunslinger. I believe it's based off Call of Pripyat weapons, so AK-12 was not originally in that game.

That's what I figured. It seems reminiscent to ABR Mod for CoP. I'm probably going to download it either way, I just love BaS's ak12 model@@bluetherobot

Theres a lot of other really cool story mods, but those are more janky and, i think, most of them are missing english translation. Anyways, check for Spatial Anomaly, Winds of Time and. i guess, Return to Zone (but i dont sure if the last one has any translations).

[@maxmock8712]

Spoiler!!! This Mod is really good but the Story is pretty meh, especially when you switch characters and see axe dead. They tried to make a modern take on the Stalker formula with cutscenes and all that but it pretty much boils down to. Getting knocked out to progress the story, useless cutscenes that have no sense and the faction that never gets explained with an antagonist that has plot armor and an useless ending. Still would recommend it to hard boiled stalker fans

[@bluetherobot]

Idk, when that plot twist happened, I was sorta attached. When I found the stash, I was like why is this all here? Then I saw his body. It was a good time so far.

[@brazkin]

Honestly, one of the most boring mods I've ever played. Even the OP 2.1 (United Pack 2.1) is way better in terms of quests and gameplay (at least before all that invisible stash crap starts). And that is not a particularly high bar. NLC-7, Dead air, Anomaly, Lost Alpha, and many other mods offer better content, and much more of it. I guess, this is what happens when a blogger decides, that he can be a good screenwriter and a voice actor, while being under the influence of the Game of Thrones (I'm not kidding, he said it himself). Let's hope, that a more talented modder will put all these reworked game levels to good use.
