Stalcraft wasn't for me, but it DID get me in to playing STALKER Anomaly with haruka skills and skills expansion mods, so I have Stalcraft to thank for that.

I was fully expecting a half-baked unturned clone with stalker theme painted over and felt the rug being pulled from under my feet as an entire MMO that hasa questline with good writing and even better voice acting unfolded before me

What Stalcraft does well for me is really making you feel like an unimportant cog in a community of Stalkers Sure you have that feeling in the original trilogy, but ultimately you were the main character in those games. Here, you have dozens of other players in the massive map completing their own objectives and having their own interests and goals in mind. There's just something very nice about entering through the no man's land of the Zone, but eventually having the luxury to unwind and relax once you're back in your base. It's really something that you can only achieve by playing and interacting with other humans.

To be honest, this video is well put, commentary as good as any of the larger youtubers, also S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is my childhood game, I admit I was scared but I enjoyed the hell out of it, especially the 3 vanilla ones, their atmosphere are better than todays AAA games. Liked the video and subbed cuz you finna blow up on the algorhythm, just continue posting content like this and you're gonna have subs real fast.

Finally another Stalcraft content creator.

hey man for 400 subs this is a 1m worthy performance of a video. loved the music in the background, voice clarity, and clear timeline of discussion!

great quality by the way! nice work on your redaction, just generally the calm voice but not super slow you've got is something i found nice, nice to be finding underrated channels lately good editing dude! hope to see more of you

Awesome video! This game is pure fun, the tension of the beep on the pda, the way you become so much more careful when you try to extract to the base with all your precious loot, the emissions, etc. I havent had that much fun in a long time in a game.

You picked another sub up, keep it going man. You're an awesome creator/gamer. So fun playing this one, I'm getting a small group together to do some runs, very decent and well put together.

Glad to see this game getting a little more exposure. Great video and If I see you in game I will be sure to wave.... or shoot depending on which side I am on haha

Oh woah, pump out some more like this and I'd love to watch! Editing and cadence is great for sub 1k creator!

Amazing video, never saw your channel before, good editing, non boring "boring" sections and great review potential. Keep up the good work dude!

Found this on Reddit. Great video. Very entertaining. I just started playing myself. Loving it.

Such a good rewiew!As a 1000 hours player(I'm Russsian)I like your work.But main part of gameplay is North.You need to play on locations like Yanov to understand all emotional pressure that Stalcraft can pur on player.

Maybe I just missed the part of the tutorial that tells you about the PDA number but I had NO IDEA that was a thing! Spent 3 hours wandering through the swamp going "huh wonder what that beep means. Hey there's a guy over there!" lol thanks for educating my ignorant ass.

Love the video, Cannot wait to check this out!

W vid, cheers, have a sub. Keep up the good work!

Recently picked this game up about a month ago, and have been in love with it since then! only recently have i've been trying out stalker games, and this has been very fun and different then what i usually play!

W vid, please make more on stalcraft this community needs more content creators like you 👍

Stalker is a dear love of my childhood and the dev team was really badly hated for delays, just like CDPR at a time. So happy to see you Western guys open this timeless classic, and legacy lives on!

This inspired me to start playing and its such a blast im really enjoying it!

Hey there! I liked your video. As an experienced RU player I can say that all those feelings that you covered in the video are same for me.I could also give you some useful tips, that i noticed you don’t use (in case you are not aware of them already, or settings on your version of the game somehow altered from RU servers) on 0:17 you pulled up your wheel to use a medkit, you can actually doubletap or even onetap sometimes on “c” key (by default). Also the choosing wheel works through c -> number that you bind the interactive item, so you can bind your guns or meds and stuff and then use them on a press of two keys. I would also recommend you to barter some kind of shotgun for yourself to eventually farm mobs faster. I also noticed there are no Limansk barter loot (when you look in the merchant) is it not in the game yet for you?

Great video keep it up !!

agreed the ping mechanic is great. just today i was left immensely satisfied after killing 2 players first one of them in actual combat and then using their death to set up a trap for their friend quickly escaping into bushes on the other side of a river where i know i wouldnt be seen and then waiting for them to loot their buddys corpse for an easy sniper shot

Great video, I agree it is grindy but that is what brings me back and I am a sucker for large scale pvp as gained from playing rust

this game is also run smooth on my old low spec notebook ngl i love it

I’m addicted to stalcraft too😂

great review. i might give this game a shot.

See you on there Vinny

good video and good statements, got a like from me

The music bops

I've dipped my toes in a few Stalker based MMO's going all the way back to like 2010, and this is actually the best A big part of that I think is the history, this game is actually like 10 years in the making as it started as a Minecraft server trying to replicate STALKER. You can even find some of the old maps online from before the developers renamed as EXBO

awesome video, you should keep going

Might play this game thought it was a meme game nice review

Me and my friend were in a building when my friend heard a ping so we entered a small room, lied down, armor piercing rounds, and two shotguns aimed at the door, ready for anybody to come through, and then the guy left and we booked it

The music slaps my ass and then proceeds to pay my loans, its very good

Stalcraft is the only online video game I can play solo with out getting bored, I have not liked many MMOs and this one has kept my interest because of the PVP.

I've been having a good time, I've put well into 60+ hours just the past week and a half

i like that despite the problem with eu server there are still foreign players who enjoy stalcraft and still can find it entertaining for yourself

its the obnoxious Shadow of Chernobyl level head bobbing thats most enthralling to me haha

Great video! Have been hooked on it since I downloaded it! Also does anyone know how he hotkeyed the medpacks and other inventory items to popup like that? Would be super clutch to instantly use items!

5:53 "buying gamer gf 10g" already love the community

casual deathgrips convo in all chat on your first kill, god i love gamers.

Me coming from the grueling environment of Stay Out (that Russian game that barely has anything substantially connected to STALKER), STALCRAFT is a massive breath of fresh air for me especially because there's a lot of interaction with other players here that I didn't get in Stay Out (I was in EU server). I've been on a quest to find STALKER-like multiplayers, and for a year and a half I settled on Stay Out. 450+ hours, and I still can't appreciate it and it has been the most tedious game I've played. To compare the two, Stay Out has almost no direction, and gives no sense of direction nor engages you in its story (thanks to still bad translations), STALCRAFT has directions laid out BUT rewards and incentivizes interaction and actually has useful rewards in quests. Quests have evident effort put into them, with cutscenes that I've enjoyed and appreciate and voice acting that sounds organic. The options on what decision to take that can affect the quest's conclusion is also a nice touch, something that multiplayer games should utilize more. Second, the clear distinction between who's the enemy and who's one of yours made my gameplays a bit more relaxed and alleviated a bit of my trust issues gained from playing Stay Out. Stay Out has no faction system apart from clans, creating almost a direct Day-Z like interaction where trust is perpetually strained. Did someone carve up a mutant you just killed? Go ahead, you can shoot him. Did you beat a stalker in a race to getting that anomaly you both detected? Hope your rifle is slinged front, better watch your back. Found yourself inside a Khrushchevka apartment where someone's looting prior to your arrival? Better shoulder your rifle and hold an angle, now. Lastly the grind in STALCRAFT is fair enough for me. Coming from Stay Out, that game had HORRENDOUS grind, the "9 to 5" kind of grind where I also spent majority of the time translating their wiki, observing player traffick, and joining communities just to get the info to where to get the most loot. STALCRAFT has it laid in front of you, but doesn't eliminate the sense of uncertainty even if areas of loot is revealed to your map; STALCRAFT's system is more attuned to let you enjoy instead of having it feel like a tedious game. For all you newbies or players planning to enter STALCRAFT, fear not the grind. I've seen worse, and I've been in worse. The game is enjoyable, and I've made friends here real fast. TL;DR STALCRAFT is, and I say, IS the STALKER multiplayer you've been looking for.

The visuals are a deal breaker for me, but this was a fun video!

@Vinny what is the song at 2:09 when you mention the music beeing good? I looked through the game files all 82 rock songs but it wasn't there any ideas please??

This game looks awesome. I really wish there was a positional VOIP system integrated though

Stalcraft is by far the best standalone modded minecraft server I've ever played on

Glad you like it! STALCRAFT has been primarily Russian project, which has been developed from 2014 now Game really changed, a lot of exciting events with cool rewards are ahead of EU community, good luck out there, Stalker

4:29 how did you opened that menu? im new in stalcraft, really enjoyed this video

I was addicted to this game like crack until the Minstrel quest, then I got so frustrated I stopped playing. Absolutely love the PVP in this game.

Pickle looked like something else

cool vid

I got this game earlier this month. You can enjoy this game by yourself very much. I've had a lot of fun with this game

I am all for realism in games, my favorite games are squad and arma, but the reality is games need to abstract a lot of crap from reality into mechanics to compensate for the fact it is a game. With an MMO where you go from doing tasks you probably wouldn't be doing if other people were hunting you, as well as a days worth of work in real life in a much shorter time, having that little notification to tell you that the game has changed from MMO farmer to a real-time first person shooter is excellent.

love this game and im excited for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl. PVP in this game can be annoying sometimes buts its fun

looks good

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE BANGER AT 2:10 I've gone through the 86 songs in the games files but none of them sounded like that and I'm getting paranoid xD

The funniest thing is when you see your friend fall into a black hole.

he understood the assignement

i didn't know the min map mechanic where it tells you if a player is near by granted i never read lol

I'm with you. Most fun iv'e had too

Some times i left with alt+F4 some times in normal way that shows how gameplay going on. :D Searching with metal detector "beep" put out weapon - almost dead from bullets from behind and dying in vortex.....this was fun but when you hiding lurking for enemy searching for him and he just jump from behind corner with 1 bullet headshot from sniper knowing where are you was in all time "cheater" that was very alt+f4 moment. Or when hiding behind solid wall i hear how bullets from sniper hid same spot where is my head, and when i show in middle open space like window boom dead from somewhere without player detector to shows more that 1.

For anyone interested in this couple things to note. The game gets real grindy in the mid-late game so be aware of that (it really doesn't respect your time after a certain point). Also the proximity system, while cool, hides the fact that there is basically no audio from other players unless they are a metre away. So PvP in tighter areas can be very frustrating as a result. I still have had great fun with the game for all the reasons noted in the video, and there is plenty of content expected from the Russian version.

I love the stalker series, dedicated my channel to it. I was interested in this game for a long time, then it finally came out and I came to the conclusion that... i just don´t like MMO´s. At all. So, I respect the game, they sure did an awesome job. I recommend it to players. But it´s not for me :D nice video Vinny

Extremely based video

This game has a lot of potential. However, I decided to stop when I got to the main story mission where you go into the doghouse and have to do awful Minecraft parkour. Every other main story mission gave you checkpoints in the quest that allowed you to grab your stuff, so I thought I'd be fine, however all my shit was lost at the bottom of the death pit which is unreachable. The game doesn't really respect your time when it comes to walking around as well. The OG STALKER has a lot of walking around too, but that game also doesn't have open PvP where you can lose all the crafting materials you farmed at any time. On the plus side, they recently had a dev blog where they showed off all the new animations they're working on, and it turns out they're working on a real parkour system that actually works, with 3rd person camera, as well. So that will work a lot better in the future. It makes more sense to wait before playing this, in my opinion. Early game is fun but there's a lot of random moments that will make you quite frustrated.

Still didn't play the game(I do play the stalker games a lot), it seems like the online stalker MMORPG we never had, and looks fun. But one think I am not sure I like is artificially knowing when a player is near. That for me kills the element of surprise. I prefer the suspense of not knowing, it keeps me always alert.

Nice vid!

I keep dying to blackholes and tornados...

Anyone knows what the song he played at 2:11 is called?

Ive been playing a bit of Stalcraft here and there when it came up on my KZfaq recommended like the week of release. Doing quests and upgrading my gear (Bandit - Currently using Combo and Mosin (+scope) with Sawn Off secondary) and just vibing around the place. Really like the Air field? Milly camp? between the two faction bases not only do the NPC's drop loot used in batering but also the fact other players are around. Yes some of the AI feels like they cheat - seeing tracers going through tree's and hill's towards me. The PvP is a bit hit and miss imo and I feel like this is because of the stage im at. I think the PvP comes more so at the "Late game" when you are far north. I have had odd pvp scuffles when ive had people just walk up behind me, im in a bush, and assassinate me. And there have been times where I have seen Stalkers, especially going home from a quest, that I now would kill me so I assassinate them. Had a fun encounter where I was running him from a quest and a stalker was running towards me and I was like "fuck im dead" since he had his smg out and i had the sawn off but for some reason he just stopped and i carried on full sprint towards him and just unloaded the two shells into his face - i think 1 was needed lol - and my heart beat just skyrocketed from relief but also "oh no he might have friends around" There have been so many times where ive seen 3 man and 5 man squads running around and I just prone into a bush and hope one of them see me lmao

YES IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

Wish games like this would come to console.

how do i turn my Crosshair into a dot?

how do you know if the other person is not in your faction is it uniform color?

The gunplay in Stalcraft is a real 1/10. Completely kills the game for me.

Great video, but if you play EU u gonna become bandit food for urs trully :>

I saw a team of 3 newbies sitting just looking around in that house and I smoked all 3 of them

Its a good game just needs more love to make it perfect

мне очень нравится твой контент!

Being automatically teammates with people of the same faction is what i thought was happening in Tarkov. I thought getting gear in that game was to help your faction out. That confused me in the first 5 hrs of playing that game, thats for sure.

downloading, thanks

Lost my 10 hour Stalcraft Character 4 some reason, forced to restart.

You playing in EU servers or NA?

2:07 ядерная зона-первоцвет Music name

you know theres stalker anomaly, and a stalker server in dayz

Just Played 32 Hours And I Can Say Damn I Love The Game But Im Sad Bc My Headset Broke Cant Play IM ADDICTED AHH :(

Plz give me the outro song name

Yo what is that russian song? Willy needs it

i just help the downed enemys because then they will probably not kill me

I love stalcrafts stalker aspects wish there was a lil bit more. However Im here to complain about vortexs there are way to many I have to keep runing around them no cool plus My friend literally rage quit the game cuz of one

Got 158 hrs on this game. Do you have any questions?

Stalcraft is a drug

Ngl i agree with this vid, this game is pretty good for a free steam game Worst part is that its a minecraft game, and we all know how thosr people look like, not like me thoxd.

This video has aged well the game has Gone down hill since this was uploaded

bro where did you go , you talk about playing for 1000 of hours but only posted two videos

wish the main quest wasnt so boring
