I just want to clear up that Anomaly/LA autists are NOT representative of the rest of stalker fans. Anomaly players are a special branch of insufferable kids and many of them dont even have an interest in the actual base games, you'll hear bs repeated like "why play the games when Anomaly is the defiitive stalker experience" and so on. This is all ofc a trend as I remember the same hype surrounding the MISERY 2.1 mod for CoP back in 2012 and it phased out with time same. About the security risks, there's alot of Stalker mods that arent clean, or have been under suspicion. Mainly stuff out of russia, Shoker, GUNSLINGER, russian story mods, etc. However most of western developed mods on Moddb are completely clean, my own theory is that your antivirus must have flagged the numerous graphical .dll files in Lost Alpha and Anomaly as these are standalone mods and use their own build of the x-ray engine, as such they include these system files same as the verified Steam builds of the 3 base games. If you dont feel comfortable downloading system files or anything your antivirus flags in general thats ofc your decision but I think you could still try maybe a separate hdd or partition to install games or non-sensitive data on, and this would prob better protect your system against threats in general.

I loved this game, I played it vanilla (as this came out when I was like.. 13?) and fell in love with everything. CS remains my favorite faction because of this, it also made the zone feel more like a world than the first game.. it may be my own perception. This will always be my favorite Stalker game; it will always be the most difficult to play as well!

When you loot your enemies, you will see standard bullet in their inventory. But if you unload their weapons, they have armor piercing bullets. That's is what they were shooting at you with.

Scar asked himself: "What if the true Strelok was the friends we made along the way?"

Clear sky is infuriating to play at most points but the extremely tense and drawn-out fights are by far the best out of three games.

The guy standing next to the MG in the checkpoint is actually using it. I remember installing a mod that added a lot of new weapons and so I had the great idea to take a cheap sniper with me for that specific part. You can see the guy standing next to the MG while it's firing but not really "using" it, when I killed him the MG stopped firing. I believe other soldiers can actually get to it and use it but the very first guy seems to work that way, he uses it with his mind

I misread your comment at first as saying CW was good at "narrative cooking" & got incredibly jazzed to discover a genre I hadn't heard of yet & my Brain went wild imagining this amazing new genre of "narrative cooking" & all the possibilities that implied or opened up for different storytelling, then my Brain coordinated with my Eyes again & saw the actual comment. 1. I agree CW is a great teacher + describes the processes used really well. 2. Can anyone start making things that push those cooking-story conventions towards the bold uncharted frontiers of "narrative cooking", bc I'm so utterly charmed by the phrase I'm sure there's some intrigue + magic just embedded in the term. 3. If you keep/harvest the edible zucchini pod-blossoms at their peak, a similar technique ca be used with the blossoms to good effect --- lightly breaded + pan-fried (even panko turned out fine).

Yea I really hated how broken the faction war system is. Good example being how u can't win the faction war the enemy base will always rebuild.

Oh man, the rifle farm strat is amazing! Might reinstall to finally play this game

Good video but some nitpicks: - You do respond positively to the emissions. You no longer need to eat in Clear Sky. Scar just ... doesnt need to eat anymore. Its something. - Call of Pripyat reuses most of Clear Sky's gameplay loop and ballistics engine, just with tweaks. So Id say CoP is 70% Clear Sky gameplay. - The mounted machinegun is powerful but you can literally buy the CS-3 (CS-1 ingame due to poor translation for the EN version) armour with 30 bullet protection and pass through it. - Call of Pripyat DID NOT use any maps fro Clear Sky or SoC. That part is just 100% false. It reuses assets and PLANNED cut areas (the undeground areas mostly) but those were NEVER officially released in SOC or CS so the statement is true. - Bleeding can be stopped with some suit upgrades, artifacts, or the stat for stopping bleeding. Now, this is still a BAD mechanic 100% I agree but it isnt completely unavoidable. - The military use 5.45x39, not 5.56x39. Also - in non-SRP (Sky Reclamation Project fan patch) clear Sky, you can just farm the upgraded Vintorez from Forester by entering and leaving his dialogue constantly. - There are cool anomalies in Limansk - the teleportation spatial ones. But yes, they are underutilized. - Metro 2033 and Last Light are a LOT more like RTCW and Half Life than STALKER, so they are not good recomendations. Overall good video and I agree Clear Sky is the most broken of the series. But I still like it more than Call of Pripyat.

25:08 the underbarrel grenades are not "Rifle Launched Grenades". Obviously they're fired from the attachment on the rifle, but Rifle Grenades are their own thing. They came about during WWI I *think*(don't remember exactly) and they were grenades that require specific parts and rounds to fire them. I think all of them that I know except for one had you fit the grenade onto the end of the rifle, and the soldier with those grenades would use some sort of low powered cartridge in order to fire them. The French maintained use of these until the 2000s, on their FAMAS rifles, though I *think* they're phasing them out with their adoption of the HK M416. I'm assuming that there are still some in use because I think every army will use equipment that isn't inherently broken and still passable till the end of time. These underbarrel grenades are usually just referred to as grenades, though mostly by their diameter. In the US its usually referred to 40mm rounds. Russia has two systems for the AKs that are a 30mm and a 40mm for AF use.

PRAISE THE ALGORITHM GOD I'm going to actually start doing the "comment and like" stuff, because God DAMN I'm mad that I don't get your vids on my recommended fees

Yeah that whole thing with poltergeists has always been a pain, even when you DO aim at the right spot, it still feels like they just refuse to take damage while they whip barrels at your head.

Awesome video on a series I never played, I think I might have to pick these up.

I...hmm.....will, when you raid the military check point from the other direction, the gunner will move away from the gun to shot you with his AK74 because he can't shoot you with the mounted PKM. You can actually see him with a binocular once you exist swamp...and I've tried to kill him with fully modified AK74 a few times and he will die. But since the slit is rather small, it might take like 150 5.45 to kill him.

What exactly is 5.56x39 ammo? Also, while talking about this mythical ammo, you constantly show the AN-94 which is chambered in 5.45, so I'm pretty confused. Did you mean 5.56x45? Because the Military doesn't use NATO rifles in game. Did you mean 5.45x39? Because that would make more sense, but you sometimes refer to it as just 5.56.

You don't need an RPG to take care of the helicopter in the abandoned hospital, one of the monolith soldiers nearby drops a grenade launcher that you can use. There is no need to do all that grind that you mentioned because checking the bodies of enemies in limansk reveals stashes that all contain a lot of ammo for a variety of weapons. The only thing you actually need to do in this game is upgrade your weapons because they otherwise can't hit the broadside of a barn. I feel like a lot of the gripes you take with the game are invalid because from what I can tell, you are actively making the experience worse for yourself by doing unnecessary things you weren't intended to do.

Just finished Clear Sky on master. Only part I didn't like was the swamp and having to avoid the military checkpoint until I had a long range weapon. People saying to skip this game are clowns

The polterhole, or hole-tergeist if you feel so inclined

The pixel perfect laser guided grenades were due to an incorrect config setting that gave enemies 100% accuracy on all throws. And "bullet sponges" are common in the early game with bullets literally disappearing after reaching "max" range, instead of damage falloff. The early guns have like a 25m bullet range. Which was "fun". scopes add to the range, letting your bullets, you know, EXIST. So you can have a gunfight at last. Both are fixed with patches and mods.

Looking at Clear Sky, I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe... it was a good thing GSC had to drastically cut down Shadow of Chernobyl. We missed out on a lot of cool stuff, sure, but we also got a much tighter and more focused game that was sure of what it wanted to do.

If SoC came out of the oven in the same state as Clear Sky, it may have never attracted such a large and dedicated fandom in the first place.

I was completely unaware about the nft thing

Lost Alpha is kinda notorious for not actually following the design docs and builds too closely, and the story is pretty much abran dnew fan faction at this point involving the illuminati. If you would want to check out a far more accurate recreation of the beta era of stalker, I recommend Oblivion Lost Remake

When you complete the opening of the Limansk bridge against the renegades in the red Forest but before you enter Limasnk/end of no return. You can head back to the Clear Sky base in the swamps for your reward which is 50'000 rubles and an FT-200M assault rifle. The technicians can upgrade it with the 50k so you need less or no grinding.

This was my first stalker game cause I like playing in chronological order, I played on master and have never had an issue with ammo near the end game

Just need to say I read the title as "Enter the Pink Hole" and was very intrigued

As stalker veteran, clear sky is most replayable, cuz of sooting, looting, sooting harder enemies gameplay loop. You always became stronger but never immortal

If i ever had the money ti spare charlatan, the imperfections on your products would simply show me that you care a lot more about whatcha giving out to people than not. That and remind me actual human beings still do cool things like make clothes and stuff. Makes me a lil sad whenever i picture us just.. doing nothing.. in the future.

I only remember the bad parts of Clear Sky. First thing I do in any new STALKER game is raid the Military checkpoint with my pistol (not easy) so I can get a decent AK variant, some kind of armor, and some medical supplies. Avoids grind in the beginning. Nothing is as important as a fully repaired rifle with a scope (and new ammo), which will get you further than anything else. In real life too.

Yeah, that other thing that happened to GSC gameworld? It's still going with no end in sight

Great video man. I'm replaying whole series. Shadow of Chernobyl sucked me in like a swamp, then i moved to Clear Sky... and i did not fisnished it. Then i launched Call Of Pripyat and it was immediatly perfect. Clear Sky is Stalker married with Call Of Duty... it's just don't wor.

Clear sky taught me to learn how to love iron sights atleast the swamps sure did

So, CS was my first stalker game. I had no idea how durability worked. I played the entire game with a 0 durability VSS and Makarov. I had no idea how artifacts worked. I did not use a single artifact all game. I briefly read about difficulty, and believed the difficulty myth. I played it on Master. Finally, I had no idea how the inventory worked. I have no idea how I missed this, but... I played the entire game in a leather jacket, without repairs. Sometimes I go back and play Clear Sky just like that just to relive the pain. It's simultaneously the best and worst stalker experience I've ever had.

i enjoy the video

The spamming of grenades starts to make sense because Clear Sky came out around the same time as World At War

Biggest flaws: -Endless bandit spawning if you wipe them out -Insufficiently differentiated from other shooters. Didn't need Half Life 2: 2 -NPCs can see through vegetation but player can't -Forgot the main mechanic of STALKER: The tension between curiosity and fear. Didn't replace this mechanic with anything else. So it's mild curiosity with 0 fear.

the rifle farming at agroprom is INSANE, i could get enough money for endgame gear before even stepping into the army warehouses

Damn I didn't expect to see a videogame character with hemophilia

I spam the regen artifacts and bleed like a fountain. As long as its not that kobe grenade toss or headshot, i could "walk it off"

I think the biggest reason I hated this game was due to the ending bugging out on me, strelok became unkillable, he wouldn't die. After hour's of me getting lost somehow in the linear shooter part's, I got a softlocking bug and had to look up the ending on youtube.

Yes but you have to get used to 2000s gaming quirks. You essentially have to learn to play the game, I never managed a complete playthrough because I easily lost sense of direction and I did poorly in combat. One time I sat down and made an effort to do what the game was asking, and I breezed through the game. A rifle with a scope is very important for headshots. Use multiple saves. I minimized savescumming but having multiple saves when getting to progress milestones is important because I had one game breaking bug - crash around 10 seconds after loading. I had to go back to an older save and lost around 30 min of progress. Never happened again. Other than the quirks due to its age and development hell it's a very rewarding game.

After watching reviews like this and being reminded of how tedious this game can be (which is all true, as much as we like the game), I still can't believe that I managed to complete this game without taking any damage. Clear Sky's gunplay system does feel rather off. I recall other reviews of this game stating that the weapons in Clear Sky all have inferior stats to those in Shadow of Chernobyl across the board to incentivize the player to purchase upgrades for their weapons.
