S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a first-person-shooter survival horror video game series developed by GSC Game World. The series is set in an alternate version of the present-day Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine, where, according to the series' backstory, a mysterious second Chornobyl disaster took place in 2006. As a result, the area's physical, chemical, and biological processes were altered, spawning numerous nature-defying anomalies, artifacts, and mutants. The player takes the role of a ""stalker"" - a name given to trespassers and adventurers who have come to explore the exclusion zone and its strange phenomena.

The series is loosely based on the novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, and influenced by the movie Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. The name ""S.T.A.L.K.E.R."" is a backronym for Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers.
G.A.M.M.A is a large community-driven project combining the work of many modders, and each and everyone one of them is contributing to making S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly a better experience. G.A.M.M.A. aims at providing a balanced survival, scavenging, cooking, crafting, and repairing focused experience with extended progression and smooth gameplay.

Spec Ops REACT to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA

[grok_gamma]

Wow this is crazy, I never thought such a video would be made on gamma. Completely unexpected haha ❤

[mello]

Whoa never expected Gamology to cover GAMMA at all, so that's pretty cool.

[Scientist]

So here is a little neat tidbit.

There are certain level designers in S.T.A.L.K.E.R who made the underground sections of this game. Those guys then broke off to become 4A Games and then started off their new game known as Metro 2033.

[Hello-meue]

I'm so happy stalker is getting the recognition it deserves! I was so surprised to see Gamology publishing a video about it.

[OperatorVanta]

The reason Operator Drewski was using the TOZ (Boltie shotty) for so long, was because in Stalker GAMMA, weapons have durability, and most enemy weapons are critical durability. You need to collect things like new gas tubes, bolts, trigger mechanisms to repair them and increase their durability, and you need kits to repair and maintain their cleanliness and you need to repair their barrels in order to do the most damage with each gun.

You also can't buy weapons from traders, only weapon parts and repairs

[FazekasPK]

It's Operator Drewsky's gameplay!
Loved the show!
Also, there's no other players, but the AI is unforgiving.

[RealIciing]

The original devs of metro were originally the devs of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl and devs of EFT took inspiration from stalker for their game

[enceladus-]

C'mon, show them the night stuff with the nvgs. Show them the Chimeras, the X-labs, the Monolith!

[fundy]

Stalker Gamma is a modpack for Stalker Anomaly. And a big missed potential that you could have shown the experts was Beef's NVGs which is the nightvision goggles of Stalker Gamma, which are by far the MOST REALISTIC and REAL Nightvision Goggles in all of gaming.

[mutual_respector]

As a STALKER fan, I have to say there are a LOT of mods that enhance tbe quality of gameplay, there even is a multiplayer mod, although quite janky. The entire game without mods is janky actually, but that's why we slavs love it.

[yercules]

To those new to GAMMA or Anomaly for that matter, I highly recommend playing the original trilogy first. It makes playing the latest mods so much more enjoyable as you understand the zone and lore so much better 👌

[Mac-ihzf]

let’s face it; vanilla stalker will never get the publication we want it to get.

[Leinks]

To answer the question of why he isn't using the guns he's picking up. In the game like they said ammo is a big factor, but another reason is that a lot of the guns you find are damaged and worn down. You can take the guns apart, clean them, sell them and even repair them to use later.

[gabriel]

Cameron not knowing what to do in open world games is the most army ranger thing I have heard from that mans mouth

[AlessandroPutzu]

Escape From Tarkov took a lot of inspiration from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. This came full circle when the mods and total conversions like Anomaly with the G.A.M.M.A. modpack started to heavily borrow models, sounds and animations from Tarkov

[judsongaiden]

0:30 It's a TOZ-106 survival gun, a Russian-made compact bolt-action 20-gauge shotgun. You can tell it's Russian because it has a trashy under-folding stock (possibly the lamest idea the Russians ever stole from the Germans).

1:39 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. came before either of those and some of the people who worked on it also worked on M.E.T.R.O. and "(No) Escape from Tarkov(sky)." Gamma is a mod for Anomaly which is a mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, the third of the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.

5:30 In this mod, you can recruit friendly NPCs to follow you and fight alongside you, but you have to command them. Tell them to fight and they'll do so, but they might get distracted because their A.I. doesn't prioritize like a human player's brain does.

5:46 In the Zone, bloodsuckers are pretty close to vampires (or "strigoi" as they're called in Romania).

6:02 In the Zone, that mutant pig is called a "flesh." Some of us old-time zoners call them "fleshpigs" just to remind ourselves that they're pigs. If I could play as a mutant, I'd want to play as Oink Oink Fleshy Piggy! >///w///<

Edit/Note: The flesh is a pig spliced with the genes of a fly! That means it could be classified as either an "Amalgamate" (if you like Undertale/Deltarune) or a "Cronenberg" (if you like Rick & Morty and/or David Cronenberg). 🙃



6:10 In this mod, you can! You can eat the meat of most mutants, but you have to cook it first, and it's recommended to drink vodka and beer (liquor before beer, yer in the clear) and take antirad or other medicine after eating it because it's radioactive. You can also find or buy ready-made Zone-produced meals made by hunters. It's all classified as "unhealthy, " though, but if you like to play the game survivalist style, it definitely has its own immersion factor (as if the game wasn't loaded with that already).

6:54 He's probably playing as a "loner" which is the Zone term for a generic stalker. They're actually their own faction, so they're free to be as literally "loner" or as team-oriented as they choose to be. They have no ideology and their primary goal in the Zone is to get rich or just to enjoy the thrill of Zone life. Anyway, there are two traders in that area (the map is called "Cordon" because there's a cordon/military checkpoint at the southern edge which is the southernmost area of the entire game world). One of the traders is Sidorovich, aka "Sid, " who's also a mission-giver. The other is Loris, who goes to bed at 8:00 PM. In the words of Yakko Warner, "Early to rise and early to bed...makes a man healthy but socially dead."

8:15 The story of Anomaly (w/ or w/o Gamma) is set in late 2018. You can stay in the Zone long enough for the year to change over to 2019. There's no Zone-wide New Year's party, though. You can certainly have your own little Roadside Picnic, though.

11:15 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was the first one. "Call of Chernobyl" is a mod.

[dhamon]

Drewski is picking up alot of weapons, but if you look at the bar under the weapon it shows its general condition at a glance. All the weapons you loot in this mod pack are in terrible shape and you need to source alot of parts and resources to return them to a condition where they're reliable. So he is very picky about what he restores based on parts and ammo availability.

[ActuallyJamie]

This series from Operatordrewski is awesome. Oddly enough this is a Ukrainian made game with a bunch of mods. In this run he is doing what is called an Iron man run which is where when you die, it wipes your entire game and progress you have completed and have to restart from the very beginning again

[KT]

Love to see STALKER getting some more mainstream love but especially GAMMA. Drewski's GAMMA videos really do the game justice

[mniakan]

11:48 the real reason for the shaky hands there as someone who has played this game is cause like the true soviet patriot that you are, you're suffering from alcohol withdrawal
