BLIND S.T.A.L.K.E.R. #1
🕑 Added 2023-06-25 15:24:15 +0000 UTCIt's time.
A while back when I started doing Thief 2 as a series, I was planning something else. I wanted to get through Thief 2 because it is wonderful, classic, and one of the finest PC games ever made, with a rich tapestry of a story and a villain that sounds ridiculous.
However, at that time, I decided that as soon as Thief 2 was done, there was another game, one that you've all been asking for forever, and one that I didn't have any experience with. The king of slavjank as I've been told. Things don't get too janky this time around but I suspect we've only seen the beginning. Come, kids, and join me on a trip through The Zone. It's going to be bloody.

Would love to see you do Fallout 3 or NV!

im not sure if you know this but you can right click weapons and unload them for more ammo.
Goldfish
forgot to add. You can change weapon firing from automatic to single with the 0 key on most weapons.
Goldfish
there are keybinds for bandage and medkit. I didn't see you crouching or low crouching, it'll help a lot with accuracy for longer rifle shots. good luck!
Goldfish
I never thought this day would come. One of my favorite game series! After ShoC, the other games are more balanced mechanic-wise. still some good ol' jank.
Korcks
This is a great video. Several laugh-out-loud moments. Really excited to see the rest of the series.
Civvie
Yep. Although the menus were giving me trouble clicking on “unload” or “drop”
Civvie
Can someone please tell me why you’re all obsessed with the lean? I have footage with leaning that I didn’t use. Should I go back and put it in so I don’t hear about leaning for the rest of my life? It’s going to be Alpha Prime all over again with “the game is balanced for lean”
Erik Olsson (TerrorBlades)
Oh man I can't wait for this! Btw did you know you can actually unload guns you find. Its a nifty little way to get ammo.
DIEHARDMETALLICAFAN
Why no lean?
Kouh Sijaed (Tear Cushion)
oh Civvie you spoil us. This is a treat!
matt
that bit at the end where you run across that guy that pulls your camera out of your body and down to look at him - really REALLY freaked me out the first time playing through when I didn't know what to expect. what the FUCK is happening??
Lunch Box
Civvie delivers. Best day ever!!!
Hbomb
good hunting
Scott LaPointe
Ho yeah! I absolutely love S.T.A.L.K.E.R, can't wait to watch this
Martin Tepper
Ooooh I played this ages ago but every area you show I can still feel in my bones, this game hit me hard back then. Also WTF I never found a useful shotgun. I remember finding out way too late that you can repair/improve guns by dragging another one on top of it to use as parts, not sure if that is still in there or being explained but I think a part of the general confusion about difficulty is that every gun you find is basically junk until it consumes 2-3 of its brothers.
Civvie
I strongly considered it and then chose not to.

missed opportunity for an obnoxious austin powers reference with "Mole"

ah finaly

Certainly wasn't expecting STALKER, but fucking sick! You tend to play some of my favorite series, and this is one of em'. Video was a absolute joy, looking forward to seeing how you slaughter the military base.
Civvie
I think it was luck. I went over that footage again and saw that there were four guys surrounding him. I opened fire, killed one, and the other three went to take cover behind a tank instead of shooting the loner first.
Silentphil9
One of the developers died fighting in Ukraine last year.
Paskudne
Interesting, you managed to save a ganged loner at the entrance of garbage at your first playthrough. Bit sad you cut that out: its not easy and i wondered how youll do it.

Hi Civvie, I've been watching you for years. Loving the contents. I just wanted to add, I don't know if anyone else has said, but also I can't remember if there is one in Stalker 1, but if you press "L" you will use a flashlight. Also, I hope in the future, you play No One Lives Forever. I love that game so freaking much. Perhaps, when you do, play the ps2 version and compare them? But thanks anyway! :)
Bright Anderson
Just woke up to this notification, what a time to be alive. Thanks Civvie!
TonySki
All I know about Stalker is that it's a classic game a lot of people like, and a Ukrainian soldier is a boss with the weapons he has to use to fight against Russia because he learned it all from Stalker.
Civvie
I'm going to boot it up and check. I assumed I had to pick one up.
Civvie
Ye, no problem. I'll have it done for the next video.
Claire Cable
hey civvie you mind switching my name in the credits to Boz E-Claire and make the colour hot pink please? times have changed yknow
Corhellion
I'll have to boot up stalker to double check, but I'm pretty sure you have a headlamp you can turn on with L Edit: Yup, that should help in some of the later parts.
Mark Haiko
I have been waiting for this for one... no, TWO years!

Blood Civvie...MORE BLOOD...

An Eastern European game a year after Episode One with a character/title named Stalker. Hmmmm. I'm playing Duke 3D right now. Nice music choice. Three videos in the same month. Awesome! Thanks Civvie.
Matt Doody
Oh yes one of my favorite games of all time, and now my favorite "video essayist"
Alon Ben-yosef
Like a chilly, wet fart on a sunny afternoon. Thanks Civvie!
JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER
Fuck yes
Valora Inverse
Love a good bout of shotgun-fueled hubris that gets immediately turned on its head. Also, this was so much more rough than I expected, given how much a friend of mine has talked it up over the years, damn.
John zelna
GET OUT OF HERE, STALKER
Brian Rich
