>we will never get an HD remake with ray-tracing

I'll have to settle for Metro

I kept putting off playing these games for years despite having heard about it from Jow Forums non-stop since I first started coming here in 2009. I own all the games but they are now so old I can't even bring myself to install them and play them because of how ancient they are.

install compete mod, bumps up graphics and fixes some bugs, while leaving everything else stock

idk about him but the graphics aren't really the issue for me. stalker games feel really fucking dated mechanically, and not in like the sorta timeless doom way where everything's still smooth. it's a really clunky shooter.

Ten years. Still the best in-game atmosphere and combination of music and sound effects.

with some mods comrade, stock sounds effects where garbage-tier

>clear sky
I tolerated the other two in vanilla, but I couldn't tolerate CS. It's such a mess of a game, a real letdown compared to the two others.

Playing STALKER series through the first time

What if any mods for first play through and where get them

first playthrough should be vanilla, ZRP is fine for Shadow of Chernobyl though since it's pretty much only bug fixes

>it's already been 10 years
>not even the original stalker
what the fuck

you're not missing that much. the original stalker was great because there wasn't a lot choice back then when it came to sandbox style games with a gloomy/post apocalyptic atmosphere. i don't play games anymore, but i'm sure there's a lot more to choose from nowadays, and stalker alone has multiple games in the series.

i once had a 1 hour fire fight it was fun

I played all 3 vanilla with the updates and never had them crash.

PS if you're looking for an additional challenge after the first glorious 200 hours you've spent to play the whole series, try these mods in this order; call of chernobyl, misery, zone of alienation (disclaimer about ZoA: very unstable but extremely rewarding gameplay)
