Why STALKER Anomaly Feels Different

Currently at 59K views, thank you so much.

dont expect stalker 2 to be like gamma guys

This is the only game that is single player but the experience feels like multiplayer

"Emission STALKER" "When?" " N O W"

I entered the zone almost seven years ago and today I am still enjoying Stalker.

One small correction, the original games didn't have much in the way of survival only two of them had a food meter and only one had sleep with none requiring water, further more food guns and most ammo was plentiful and cheep. The main focus in the mainline games was as an action shooter with a few RPG and survival elements but GAMMA is still a fantastic introduction to the world and leaves the player with a very real feeling experience.

Anomaly and gamma boost the immersion so much that its hard to not get hooked even after you've played the trilogy. The old games aren't really survival focused in comparison tbh. But the trilogy is highly recommended

I will never forget the first time I arrived in the Red forest and walked through it. Deep dark night, pouring rain, chimeras, controllers, monolith and maximum medium level equipment. It was the worst decision in my career as a former player xD

Misery mod is where it all started

S.T.A.L.K.E.R the game was build as: concepts of anomalies and artifacts (even wish granter, even if in different form) from novel, concept of Stalkers within zone and their struggles vs military from Tarkovsky's film and solid dose of soviet bleak reality hence Chernobyl used as setting,

When I was a teenager, I modded New Vegas to be a horror survival game with roaming patrols of each faction fighting each other. I would only make money from hides from animals I hunted, and bought my weapons and ammo that way. I didn't do any quests. I just roamed around the Mojave on a modded motorcycle. Sometimes having to take shelter in the nearest shack on the side of the road to get away from the radioactive rain. I think we as men crave these harsh experiences. It's you versus the harsh and unforgiving environment. We crave to be in that situation.

The AI of experienced stalkers is really next level, they just destroy you

A few things that really stick out with stalker GAMMA. The blend between reality and sci fi like you said is sooo fucking good. It feels like it could really happen. The horror aspects and tense moments are incredible. The progression feels great. Finally getting an upgrade and feeling the difference in killing enemies. And ATMOSPHERE. My gosh. The lightning storms at night are the best. Taking shelter when you get the notification for an anomaly[storm] when you are in the middle of a fight with stalkers. My gosh. What a game. And, its FREE.

I love random nature. Once, I was playing, and I spent the night in some sort of barn with other stalkers. When dawn broke I decided to climb to the roof to get a good scope around before carrying on. Upon peaking my head over the summit of the roof, a small group of nearby bandits immediately took some shots at me. As soon as this happened, about 10 stalkers came marching out of the barn and gunned them all down. Marvellous 😁

This is like the 11th "Why Stalker: Anomaly/G.A.M.M.A is the best game ever" video I've seen, and I'm still not tired of them. It is a great game. Glad a lot of other people are passionate about it too. #clearsky

jesus fucking christ we need a retrospective the production of this is clean

This dude plays in the dark. Fucking badass

should have called it "Why STALKER Anomaly Feels Different"

Might I recommend you to play the original trilogy?

I'll never forget getting into Anomaly and being terrified when night came around. I was so new to it that I didn't have a headlight and just traveled at night with nothing but I just wanted to see the world and explore it. Took me a few weeks to actually make some progress but it never made me frustrated, I really enjoyed not knowing anything about the game if that makes sense. Everything was just new and intriguing. I barely knew about what does what and how armor and repairing works until much later on. Just an immersive experience unlike anything I've experienced before. Then two years later I got into GAMMA and spent 200 plus hours on it and learned a lot I didn't know from my time with Anomaly. So overall I spent about 500 hours total in Anomaly and Gamma and can say I'm kind of bored of them now. Had my fun but now I await Stalker 2.
