Thanks for checking out my video on STALKER: GAMMA! If you'd like to try it out, it's a modpack for STALKER Anomaly with install instructions here:
Anomaly (standalone mod) is available for free on Moddb: www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-an...
GAMMA (installs on top of Anomaly / recommended for experienced Anomaly players ONLY) is available in this discord: / discord
The main games, while not required to play anomaly, are good for learning the universe/lore and are very cheap on steam. I grabbed all 3 games for $10. I highly recommend this option if you're a big story lover in videogames.

I thought "I'll just wait until he shows up again, the only way he can get to me is via a ladder which *surely* he can't climb". Oh boy how wrong I was, I can't remember the last time a game made me that scared shitless.

Context: Last night, I was doing the main story in Outskirts (getting lab documents for Strelok) when I got ambushed by UNSIG. While fighting them off, I get third partied by Monolith who were embeded with a group of zombified stalkers. So a massive 3 way struggle between me, UNSIG, and Monolith ensues where I ultimately come out on top.

  • Drewski, Settings tip: If you want to make GAMMA even more dynamic go to ZCP settings under the MCM. Set: 2 days respawn Stalker population 0.75 Mutant population 0.75 or more (I like 1.5) This will kick in the A-Life migration effect, meaning Stalkers and Mutants will roam around the world more, leading to encounters in unexpected locations as the AI moves from their original location to another unoccupied spawn zone. This almost never happens on a daily respawn as the zones keep getting repopulated, leaving no unoccupied spawn zones to prompt migration. The population increase is to make up for the lower spawn rate. Note: - the effect is most pronounced at 0.75 Stalker pop. Anything more does not work as well for whatever reason. (edit) UPDATE: GAMMA's default setting of Emissions every 12-24 hours seems to prevent NPC migration based on assassination task tracking tests. Setting it to a minimum of 1-2 days should enable it (I use 2-4 days for blowouts, 1-2 for psy storms).

    • @@H56Nooc Nope. The difference is most apparent if set before starting a new game. Changing it after results in a very gradual shift as the existing spawns need to depopulate first. That said, since this is an increase in overall population it should be fine. I have never tested that though.

    • @@TheKodiak72 GAMMA's default pop is 0.45, so 0.75 is actually an increase. Having written mods for SOC, I'll tell you that, to some degree, a high population does not actually lead to seeing a lot of stalkers. Because with maxed out 'gulags' or camps stalkers do not move, which leads to the zone feeling less populated. I found that creating movement leads more to the feeling of a populated zone than sheer numbers. It's like how during a lockdown a city can suddenly feel empty. It's not about the mathematics, it's about creating that sense of 'life'. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but the only way to know is to give it a try. A run of about 10 in-game days should give you a good idea of what's going on.

  • The granular progression that happens in G.A.M.M.A needs to be a thing in most first person shooters. It's the main thing that makes it one of the best games I've ever played. I imagine daily what it would be like to play G.A.M.M.A online with a couple of friends with destructible environments. It would be pretty awesome to have to think about the condition of the buildings you're taking shelter in during a psi-storm because there is a chance that they could be torn apart.

    • Totally agree. It’s wild how good the progression is in Gamma in what seems like every aspect of the game (from gear to just living in the zone). Also crazy how modern shooters don’t even touch what Gamma has. If that translated over into a multiplayer game, wow. Personally enjoy the single player experience more, but I know people are itching for this type of progression in the online space.

    • It is really a shame. The things that make some games the exceptional gems that they are, are the same things that game developers never touch with a 10 feet pole - managing risk, dealing with losses, and enjoying downtime. Also, Stalker doesn't really hold you to the stupid RPG rail progression where you go between tiered locations to farm infinite mobs in specific locations. GAMMA came a long way of making the few available locations as believable ecosystems. Nobody is going to tell you if you should not go to Red Forest - the location itself will be pretty convincing in that sense once you first take a step in. But noooo, AAA studios will keep making the same RPG progression rails, which should've went out of fashion a decade ago, yet we're still dealing with it. Dunno about destructible environments, but simply having a large enough open world with strong PvE content that doesn't lead you by the leash, instead of DayZ "kill dumb zombies with an axe" or Escape Tarkoff "camp the tryhards by the spawn", would go a long way. It's hard to predict the potential audience for it tho...

Makes it perfect for post-fight healing since it restores the satiated lost from meds, though it's expensive since you need to buy mineral water, coffee grounds and cooking supplies to make it. Very worth it though in my book.

  • @OperatorDrewski I absolutely adore these stalker gamma vids man, I wish I can see more vids and game play from you on it, it's like my favorite series of videos from you, all the other vids you make are awesome but stalker is so sick!
