Stalker Gamma has done something that no other game has. I can be hunting in the middle of the night, with a worn-down SKS in truck cemetery, quietly smoking a cigarette at the top of the watchtower under the cover of its roof during the blissful yet unnerving rain, the sound of gunshots in the distance, scouting for enemy faction members, when out of nowhere, my PDA beeps, and upon opening it and checking the messages tab, seeing a bounty out for a 'loner'. Faction patch shows mercenaries, a faction that I'm against, and I panic a bit, wondering if its me they're talking about. Surely not, there are plenty of loners in the Zone, couldn't be me. A couple minutes pass of more scouting, just eating some food and drinking some water, staying on top of the nutrients, all the jazz, when out the corner of my eye, I notice a group of mercs coming, from the pathway on the south side, or so I recall. Obviously, it's pitch black, they can't see me. But at that moment, I knew these guys were gonna be tough sumbitches, and decided to head out for the night, retracing to Rostok, selling some of the loot I got from a couple stashes in the cemetery. Would've fought them, but I was playing an Invictus run and didn't want to risk dying, especially since I didn't have much yadulin for post-heal. Going out to truck cemetery was already enough risk ahaha. Can't think of a AAA game that does it like this. With or without mods.

I bought Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl back in 2006. Still have box, manual, CD, etc. Such a classic. Mint condition.

jokes on you i already was addict to stalker way before gamma

I am addicted to stalker since roughly 2015 These days I'm just enjoying slowly playing through gamma modpack but back then I was playing the legendary Zaurus Crew mod series, Stalker Soup, Photographer, Lost Alpha, SGM and many more, so naturally sometimes I long for a proper story mode in anomaly with fleshed out quests, characters and lore but nobody seems to work in that direction. Anyway, stay safe in your travels and may you reach the enigmatic Wish Granter, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!

"You Might Get Addicted To Stalker GAMMA..." thanks for the advice, but it came to late! 😁

Gamma is probably the best thing I've ever installed, glad i found another creator to watch

G.A.M.M.A is the BEST community made mod project AND Survival Horror FPS ever made imo. It's vibe, immersion and granular progression is unmatched. The sense of accomplishment when you build up your first gun or find your first repair kit is UNMATCHED. Imagine being able to play co-op with a buddy or split screen. My internet sucks and I dearly miss the days of split screen co-op.

I would say I have close to 4k hours already and I still haven't stopped completely

oh man i was sooo addicted to this game. my save got messed up so i stopped. But this game is so satisfying.

Have over 6,000 hours in stalker over the years.

I love how the harmonic player tries to play Lilly Marlene... misses all the notes.

dude i tried to enjoy fallout with new vegas and it feels just different 😭 i cant wait for stalker 2

The tital suggest that one isn't already obsessed with stalker 😂

If this had coop be even more legendary

I would download GAMMA but i dont wanna sacrafice the storage and IDK how to mod without messing up the game haha or even install mod organizer lol great stream tho

I was attracted to gamma since I'm following people playing it but when I did install it I was just debugging and troubleshooting to fix issues the second I started to download it I have deleted my favourite game to free some space in c partition cuz it was so huge I never expected that but no complaints this my most favourite game but the game was a buggy crashy hell I couldn't even loot enemy bodies I have destroyed an entire army of mercs after they ambushed me then I couldn't loot them besides crashes and bad graphics and worst gun play I ever had idk what do u guys do for the game to look so smooth but I wont repeat that experience efp is better imo

Have you tried true stalker?

How did that one freedom trader at 7:47 have firearms? Gamma doesn't let them sell firearms.

SO this is stalker 2

Im addicted to SPT 😁

Stalker 2 coming out in 4 months :D

You can get addicted to pretty much everything, masochism is only one of them.

I remember waiting for the original stalker and downloading that shit as soon as it came out lmao

Your new name is 2x for how many times you said something twice!

youre have lightflahs why do dont useD?

the problem is that this game is quickly repetitive

SIG handguns are garbage, same with S&W M&P pistols... WTF are you on about? CZ, Glock or a sharp stick (Canik is acceptable too). You kids need to actually go shoot/touch grass instead of just watching youtube videos and then pretending you know about things.

there is abso-fkin-lutely no cannon story in gamma.....infact its very boring.

no you cant its terrible

I love your content and watch daily! Would really like to see you grow more but i feel your missing out by not trying kick Lol, Kick is actually extremely good for people around your viewer count on the up and coming cause its not super saturated like twitch, not to mention kicks partnership program once you average around 100-200 viewers you qualify and can make anywhere to $10-30 an hour just for streaming... if you make it big they pay some of their top streamers 2k-3k an hour but thats huge numbers.... but still when i finally hit $15 an hour mark on kick partner program i was able to put my 2 weeks and focus full time on my streamer career cause thats just 1 part of the income not including sub/donations... also kick takes 0% of subs its 95/5 split and 5% only goes to payment processor not even kick themselves... (In no way do i work for kick (besides streaming their myself) or have some afflicate purpose to try to convince you to give it a try one day) I just know the grind i've been grinding for 5-6 years on twitch, facebook gaming, not a ton of youtube since i mainly stream... but when i finally made the swap over to kick i feel like my stream is finally getting the chance to grow and shine.... i feel like on twitch im just so low cause the market is so saturated and filled with tons and tons of 20--60 viewer streamers so hard to even get noticed... twitch doesn't do a good job to help new people get discovered i really wish they would work on that, I see you grinding heavy and i see myself in your shoes and i just want you to grow as well... maybe if you get some downtown don't take my word just look into it for yourself, Kick gets alot bad raps because of stake gambling but tbh... if i continue to grow i'd probaby take a sponsor because its shorts its food on the table for my family. Anyways even if you don't look into i hope you have amazing successes wherever you continue to grow! Love the videos will continue to watch! - Brandon
