What You NEED To Try Before STALKER 2

Howdy, gamers! Sorry for the little delay for this video. I'm moving locations and I edited this on the floor with no table. I blame any editing mistakes on the fact I had to edit this on a floor.

Can't wait for Stalker 2

Latest trailer has me so fired up. Stalker 2 is also going to have official mod support.

Correction: it was not an in-engine trailer, it was an in-game trailer. The 2 could have very drastic differences and this latest trailer being in-game is way more impressive than if it was in-engine.

As a citizen of Oklahoma the new weather anomaly is valid. Edit: Holy crap Drewski hearted my comment btw Drewski keep it up man almost 2 mil

The mission in SoC, where you had to head into x-18 for the first time scared the literal crap out of me. Nothing since then has been able to do that.

it says a lot about the game and the mods from it and their ability to create an atmosphere when i can't even hear crows in other games now without having a ptsd ridden panic attack screaming "WE NEED SHELTER NOW!!!! BLOW OUT!!!!" knowing full well those crows aren't the same crows.

0:50 dang that reload animation was clearly a labor of love

Love throwing a drewski video on and eating a meal. W combo

Literally your Anomaly videos are what got me addicted to this franchise...so thank you first and foremost. I would likely never have known about it otherwise because, like you, I was also occupied when they were contemporary titles. But I'm glad this franchise was made, I'm glad the community made something that was dual parts a tribute to their favorite series as well as the best piece of advertising said series could possibly ask for. It's been so much fun learning about this universe and I know it's the best feeling ever to see so many new excited people curious about things you're personally passionate about. ❤

16:54 "You have 85 days". Now go, let the legend come back to life! 🤣

The thing with the gunplay in the vanilla version of the original trilogy, but also in a lot of mods, is that weapons have a hit chance established in their individual config file. Most of them have 80% hitchance, while it's 70% for the shotguns, 90% for guns in 9x39mm (Groza, VAL, VSS) and a 100% for guns in 7.62mmR (SVD, SVU), the Gauss rifle and also for the knife. For mods, it was a custom of mine of setting the hitchance on all guns to 100%. It was a painstaking process, specially if the mod has a ton of guns, but it was worth it. It changes the game, it can make it either easier or harder depending on the situation because the hit chance works both ways. You can also tweak the ammo, like setting the number of proyectiles per shot, penetration, damage quotient, size of the shot impact decal, tracer or no tracer, things like that. There was mod (I think it was People's Soup) where you can get a PTRD-41, single shot AT rifle in 14.5x114mm caliber. It was my elephant gun of sorts, I used it to hunt pseudogiants. I tweaked its ammo config file and did in-game penetration tests on STALKERS. I made it capable of punching through two brick walls and hit the poor bastard on the other side, killing him. It was still pretty balanced as it was long, heavy, had ton of recoil and ammo was scarce.

The tailgate thing was weirdly specific

i have been playing stalker for maybe 2 years now and it just brings me so much joy when they announced stalker 2 i preordered it back in april and i will be looking forward to it also i will be looking forward to your vid drewski

what a great video drewski omg thanks for putting me on always wanted to try stalker but had no idea how to get into it

love the chaotic energy Drewski, kept me entertained

DON'T skip clear sky, it's good game and very fun to play, just because it's a kinda "buggy" don't means the game is bad or unplayable, for some reason people just say to skip clear sky but also the people who say that don't even played clear sky in the most 50% of time.

"you have 85 days" gave me the same vibe as looking at my menu when trying fallout 1 for the first time and seeing that time limit.

I am excited to hop back onto the zone and explore her once more. As much as I love anomaly and the gamma mod pack I really am happy to experience a new story with some great graphics

I really liked Clear Sky, it had the faction warfare more prevalent in it than the other two. The only issue for me was that any small injury would cause you to bleed and you pretty much have to use a bandage or else you die. Having enough bandages to not die from bleeding out every single time you got shot was a struggle.
