Eh... it really depends on the mod and game. For Stalker mods though you're pretty much right on the bat. Stalker mods like Misery for example are specifically designed to be absolutely brutal, to the point to where you'll probably want to avoid combat as much as possible unless you can ambush and kill a 3-man squad of bandits in under three seconds.UltraPic said:
The atmosphere is great, the story, or at least it's explanation, isn't.
Zone of the best moments for me was getting into the underground of Agroprom, finding a corner to hide in an sat watching/listening to the bloodsucker down there hunt down and kill all the military guys before he came at me (had a light source in front of me so I was able to see him coming).
It pissed me off when I got back there in Lost Alpha only to run into it walking into the wall invised - at least the Buron or whatever was a challenge.
As for the looks, I didn't mind it - The Zone is a place more than any other where you'd expect a ton of brown and grey decay and while the graphics have aged, I find it's style appealing - I'm playing Lost Alpha and don't mind it.
If you find yourself against more than a handful of guys nades, especially the large defensive ones can wipe them out quickly, though I prefer to open up with one and pick off the rest as they scramble for cover. If you find yourself stuck in a building, find a place that say from nades being tossed but can cover the entrance to your area and they rush in the bottleneck only to get mowed down.
It has left thankful they compressed the vanilla game and forced more combat into it.

Never happened to me. In fact I enjoyed the farmhouse fight so much I'd go back to play around being sneaky on top of gathering extra loot to sell.Jandau said:
I don't understand people's issues with gunfights. Just stay low and keep finding places to pop out from that flank the enemy and they keep staying one step behind you thinking you're where you were last position. Stick with long range weps with scopes and if you don't have enough money/ammo to use the more expensive weapons, the scoped Abakan is still good because the early to mid game vomits its ammo for you to collect so you can afford go overboard using it until you've collected enough NATO ammo or some for the higher end silenced Soviet weps.

Sadly I found this only got worse with Lost Alpha. Had that been what they launched vanilla with I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much. Cordon is the same but the Garbage is worse than it's vanilla counterpart with little to do in it with the remainder of the game until you get to Agroprom being a ton of running from place with place with little combat besides downing a few dogs and zombies.

\Not really, it has al lthe same graphical problems the original ones did, such as incredibly low resolution and low polygon armor and character modelsCharcharo said:
