"I just like my vanilla experience, maybe it's nostalgia" -> At this point they've already been destroyed.įreeplay mods began with Call of Chernobyl, which combines all of the original locations (although it failed to do this originally) along with some cut SoC alpha build maps and one new map, throws it all together but doesn't provide you with anything to do.These idiots are saying "Graphics don't matter to me, so they probably don't matter to someone else" which is an arrogant self-absorbed and almost certainly incorrect generalization. "Graphics don't matter" -> Retort: And? I doubt they actually believe this, they wouldn't want Stalker to have Pong graphics, but even then it obviously matters to MOST people, so might as well improve it since you can.Simpler graphics mods and weapon replacers and A-Life enhancers don't do this.
"Mods change the style and alter the core identity of the game" -> Retort: Not necessarily.Instead they should play the improved modded version first, and if they like it, then maybe check out vanilla one day, but they don't need to play all of vanilla to understand what was improved. "You should see vanilla first, to see what was improved" -> Retort: Most people don't replay games, so they shouldn't take that chance.That, and developers' intentions are imperfect as these mods show since some only objectively improve things. "You should see vanilla first, to see what the devs intended" -> Retort: None of the Stalker games were released exactly as intended, especially SoC and CS - there are mods that actually make them as INTENDED (Oblivion Lost Remake for SoC, various mods that add back cut levels and content to CS).Here are the common arguments people give to play vanilla first:
For S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the vast majority of the community says vanilla first, but I strongly disagree and vote for modded first.Įveryone should play the game modded first because: This is a common subject, and the common answer differs depending on the game community.
