STALKER: Убирайся отсюда, Сталкер

[Tokthree]

STALKER Complete is the biggest pile of crap you'll ever download, it's not even very well made considering all it is is a few texture and sound packs

Just installed SoC and can't decide between AKM/AMK/whatever it's called and Stalker Complete 2009... Anyone got any opinions on both?

Play vanilla first. If you have already then I'd suggest AMK, as Complete is just a mod compilation that the author claims is mostly his work and also makes the game piss easy with cheats and whatnot.

AMK modifies the game mechanics, STALKER Complete 2009 is purely cosmetical.

N-No COMPLETE makes the game baby mode. It literally makes the game super easy especially on master difficulty due to 100% loving accurate guns so you can hide in a thin bush and shoot the guys who see you but hold their fire right in their heads.

Either play vanilla or AMK. If you happen to go to /vg/ just look for the STALKER thread there and it also has a AMK package that includes COMPLETE's textures and graphical improvements without making it piss easy.

STALKERSoup is also a fun megamod, makes the game oppressively difficult even on the easiest difficulty and expands the world a whole lot.
When I say megamod, I mean mega, it's about 13 GB unpacked and it's basically an English port of the famous Russian megamod Peoplesoup.

Here's a link to the moddb page; http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalkersoup

It's not something you should play before completing the game at least once, though, it changes the story quite a bit

I've heard it is really good but also nonsensical and even more glitchy than the un-modded game

Pretty much, but it's fun to play.
You'll probably need at least 6GB of RAM to play it comfortably though, with 4GB of RAM I run out of memory a lot while playing it.
Truth be told I haven't had many problems aside from running out of memory, if you've completed STALKER SoC at least once it's definitely worth trying out though

I'll keep it in mind.

So I'm assuming in AMK you really need to carry a shot gun at all times of the day in order to kill mutants, because automatic rifles do stuff all to bloodsuckers.

Rule of thumb; if you're playing a mod which makes gameplay and balancing changes always carry a shotgun

Yeah I was completely unprepared for the first tunnel you go through. I only had an ak47 and a mp5 so I had to reload 20 times and eventually I just cheesed a little bit and threw a grenade into the room the bloodsucker was in.

I got myself a Viper SMG ammo (I've had the smg for ages) then I managed to get into the next zone.
loving walked into an anomaly and almost died.

Playing OL, shotguns are a waste of time. Get the Bizon or the Kriss.

Too bad you aren't playing on AMK. The only way to know they are there is to look closely or buy a 10,000 dollar piece of equipment to get the crackle.

Complete is okay, not my favorite, but it's okay.
