For me it's the same. Living in a former soviet satellite state (Lithuania) I see so many things in these games that make me think of the whole atmosphere which I also - can't put into words. Since I was a kid and even now the thing that makes me think: "That's stalker right there " are vehicles. Going to some rural areas I often see tractors, trucks and so on. Some are also derelict. These kind of things - to this day in stalker - look so on point that it's like you're really there. For me that's why fallout series never captivated me. Even though it's post apocalyptic and so on and it's set in reallife locations in the US (and yeah I know that's number one reason why I don't like those games as much - I'm not from there) but it just has this way too over the top (and I know - that's the point) look and feel. It's hard to explain...

@@AvalancheReviews Make sure to acknowledge that Anomaly, Dead Air, and many other popular mods often use Misery Mod as its framework, which was professionally developed over many years to bring more functionality and a hardcore experience to the series. There's an interesting lineage of mods which led to Anomaly that often goes like this: Call of Chernobyl, Misery, Call of Misery, Last Day, Anomaly, Dead Air. Those are at least the most popular ones and each one directly builds upon the last, though Dead Air and Anomaly have diverged for the time being in their goals, with the developer of Dead Air placing special focus on graphics and indeed the mod is probably the best looking STALKER experience you can have and I definitely recommend it (but it will be brutal).

This game's release was a pretty big deal for us gamers in Russia. I was so hyped and managed to get the disc on day 1 and enjoyed it immensely as a kid. Looking back on it its amazing i loved it so much considering that the release version was crashing like crazy. Now i would rank it the lowest out of the trilogy but thats because other two games are legendary while this one is merely amazing.

Yeah I can understand that. All 3 games are so damn good, that it makes for some pretty stiff competition. Now that I've replayed it, I might put it above SoC as far as the shooting and exploration goes. I think the weapon modding is another big feature too. Really enjoyed finding a gun and trying to level it up as much as I could.

While I consider CS the weakest in the Trilogy, it did introduce a lot of interesting features. The most fascinating addition in CS were cover animations for NPCs. Seeing them hiding behind fences, pipes, or anything that can be considered cover made firefights more organic. They would also occasionally throw (Homing) grenades at the player to flush them out. What's even more odd about the cover animations was that it was never used again in CoP.

I remember playing Clear Sky for the first time about a year and a half ago. It was also the first stalker game I played out of the trilogy. When I killed Strelok's hitmen at the tunnel to the center of the zone (which Strelok just destroyed), it was getting dark. So I thought I should check for some place safe. Then I've heard screaming for help over the radio at the entrance to red forest. When I got there, I saw last guy with a flashlight just getting killed by Bloodsucker. The guy dropped dead and that thing just ran back in the forest. At that moment I was scared to move. By the time I've reached Limansk, it also got really spooky. Night came around so I've fought through the whole city with my nightvision on. Reminded me of Modern Warfare games. It was something unforgettable. Then I've realized that the night was not scripted (I thought it was).

I've seen channels like GManLives (gggmanlives as he was called back then, MandaloreGaming and Robin Seplut (Cats) rise and I really hope to see your channel grow even more, because your content is just amazing. Each new video is just a win. Your Stalker SoC video let me dwell into it again after so many years. Feels like a lost home to come back to

It’s probably better than Stalker and the story is fantastic. It’s Silent Hill 2 in Space. Anyway, I saw Stalker afterward and I was really impressed, especially after hearing he had to film the entire thing twice after it burned or something.

This was my first stalker game when it came out back then. I thought it was a great introduction because right off the bat no tutorial you just learn. Had to read the small guide the game came with in the box to get through the great swamps but my learning didn't feel rushed, the zone frustrated me severely the first few times I tried to play, but as I became more aware of the anomalies and radiation I felt more at home. SoC felt so much easier after CS

I will definitely try it with Arsenal mod.

Completed this game pretty soon after the launch. To this day I dread and admire CS. If I remember correctly, it took 3 patches and 2-3 attempts from the beginning for me to finish this. I was so impressed that I just had to finish it, even though it has been one of my most frustrating gaming experiences. I love the game, but still have not been able to give this a second run because of all the game breaking bugs around Red Forest

Does anyone else suddenly get the urge to collect bandages when you hear the name of stalker clear sky?

50:07 - no dude, you absolutely right here. IMO, pretty much all franchise games (or whatever you call it in english), with few exceptions, should be played in order of their release - due to both game mechanics AND story-line (i mean nobody should watch original Star Wars trilogy already knowing the main plot-twist in Empire Strikes Back). plus, personally i don't understand people who skip previous games of any game series, just because "they're old, and new ones are better just because they're new". i mean, yeah, sometimes old games are painfull to play due to uncomfortable controlls, but still it is really dumb to ignore older titles. it's like reading a book starting with the middle of a story.

20:21 is where my general interest went to awe. A shotgun with range in a videogame? What sorcery!

I first played thru this entire series back in 2007 using touchscreen laptop that didn't even have a GPU in it - and I beat all 3 of them on MASTER difficulty! I never will forget the times. Me and my cousin had heard about these games from G4TV and had hooked both of our non-gaming laptops up at our Mamaw's kitchen table, pirated what we could from Limewire and a week later had finished all campaigns. Haha, I proudly own the GOG collection today of course as does my cousin

stop blessing us with amazing content

That same thing at 38:00 happened to me once in red dead 2, shot a guy and he dropped his pistol which hit his buddy next to him in the leg. Was absolutely blown away to see that, which to me makes it all the more crazy that it happened in some 2008 game. They really did make gold with these games.

Made shots i would have never had hit in SoC. im not very far into the game atm but so far I'm really enjoying it. more so than the first. its also noticeably better looking than the original.

There's an old 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Mobile' game for Java phones that came out in 2007 after SoC. I heard about it years ago in Russian videos, and it definitely exists, but I never found away to actually get it. As far as I remember, it covers the story of how Strelok came into the zone, initially as a soldier, and how he actually became a stalker and got his group together. Definitely basic considering the platform, but interesting nonetheless.

I never liked starting area at the swamps, but other than that Clear Sky is fantastic add on to the STALKER world!

ohh I liked CLEAR SKY a lot! also, I always thought CALL OF PRIPYAT was too short or at least it felt that way..

Just bought this game on sale on steam, I've always wanted to play a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. It will be my first

just got this today in charity sale for £2

The best thing about Clear Sky was the Ak that shot Sniper Rounds. So much damage...

You forgot about that great tutorial section ;)

I played CC first then COP. Now I am back trying to finish SOC.

Love the content, Cant wait for the Escape from Tarkov video !

Man, great job. Are you going to review some big mods (like OGSE, Anomaly, CoTZ, CoC, etc. or end with CoP? Just curious.

You have a new suscriber btw

Awesome

CS, with certain mods is easly my favorite STALKER game

Alot of litle issues like the sky blending with the back drop can be fixed with console commands. Your framerate also tanks because you are most likely using in engine MSAA which kills FPS

As someone who watched a lot of lore and story recaps to start with Stalker Anomaly I rly do appreciate your videos. I hope you make one for the 3rd entry too? :D Just as you describe, I have never before felt so much while playing a game and just traversing from A to B. This is something special and mods just bring it to new heights, even tho my mod folder now contains almost 30+ immersion enhancing little addons :D **EDIT** You will cover all of them haha! I appreciate you ;)

I sure as hell will!! I'm finishing up the script for CoP as we speak.

I should replay Clear Sky. My memories of it are over shadowed by the other two games.

I still yet to beat shadow, I will definitely give it a go once I finish off cyberpunk 2077 finally. I've been struggling to get through new games lately due to not getting invested mentally.

Yeah I dropped Cyberpunk after like 30 or 40 hours. It wasn't horrible or anything, I just didn't have the drive to finish. It was a fun 40 hours though.
