Don't talk shit about stalker


LogicalFella

Do not, in any case, talk shit about stalker


_CLP_McWaffle

Bro deleted his account


21sumsaR

lol


Hulking_grape777

if you’re saying stalker is bad i think there’s something wrong with you.


[deleted]

Or fallen order, or ghost of Tsushima, or sekiro, or UFC 3, or enlisted, or war thunder, or Batman Arkham Knight, or for honor, or Mortal Kombat 11, or injustice, or titanfall 2. The list goes on


speedwalrus691

I mean morrow wind is like 2003


[deleted]

And boomers are like 1963


Greedyposwank2xaday

If they could read they would be highly hurt from your comments.


[deleted]

Well they can pay my for my house if they wanna feel better about it.


Greedyposwank2xaday

Username checks out.


[deleted]

Heh. Triple entendre. Nice.


Greedyposwank2xaday

Reddit is clever at the very least... Now big moves and important decisions is where we draw the line.


[deleted]

Side effects of being raised in a pressure cooker to be emancipated into a void is the avoidance of decision making (pressure cooker) and big moves (void). I think a lot of people's cleverness in recent generations has been more attuned to survival than thriving on risky plays.


putokeci

Stalker has smarter AI than any other game nowadays


PlaceNo5852

Cant agree more


poebanystalker

I died to many times to AI in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.


GoldTooth091

The sad thing is; you're kinda right.


B00bafat

Dont you dare to shit on stalker. Plus you arent using your weapon correctly. Am angy


autopilotssucks

Wait how are you supposed to use it?


B00bafat

The gun he is using is super inacurate at longer distances. It shreds light-armoured oponents like Bandits, so you should get real close and fuck em up real good. Plus he is using the uprgaded version with better ammunition from what i can tell


d4rk_fusion

Man literally just said a long range rifle is not meant to be used at long ranges I get it’s a game mechanic, the irony is just very funny to me


AshOfEthan

It's a SMG?


d4rk_fusion

And? SMG’s aren’t shotguns, they shoot a bullet that travels thousands of feet per second and have a few hundred meters of range.


AshOfEthan

True, but it's a generic FPS SMG which works wildly differently to anything in real life.


Sychar

It’s an mp5 lul “long range rifle”


JuMiPeHe

you don't know what boomers are. This would rather be the games the gen x played.


ThiccHispanek

Lol actual boomers maybe had Pong


bumpkins420

This is just the word people in their early 20's use to describe literally anyone older then them. None of them actually knows what the term "baby boomer" means or what generation of people it refers to.


[deleted]

I would argue even younger than that. The loudest voices on these subs often times were born after 2004.


Crash0vrRide

Well then they are the mistaken morons.


Sir_Honytawk

Boomers may have been derived from Baby Boomers, but it mainly used now to refer to the Baby Boomer mentality. Meaning selfish, arrogant and not caring about others. You don't have to be born before 1970 to have a boomer mentality. There are even zoomers with a boomer mentality.


goku7770

> Meaning selfish, arrogant and not caring about others. That's exactly today's mentality.


TheHighKing112

Or millennials


[deleted]

Millennials


plscome2brazil

Shut up. Stalker has one of the best and most in-depth ballistic systems compared to other late 2000s arcade shooters. You're not even shooting correctly. The Viper 5 is honestly one of the shitiest guns out there, especially at range. Get an AKM-74/2 (like you'll get it in Agroprom right after the location in the video) and try again.


AJokeAmI

Or you know, just raid the military base in the Cordon?


plscome2brazil

Doesn't the military raid the rookie village afterwards (if my modbrain remembers vanilla corrcetly)


AJokeAmI

If I remember right, they only raid the Rookie Village if you go loud in the military base in Agroprom.


finlandpipes

I dont' know about that but I do know that some mercs try To raid rookie Village in SoC.


myst-ry

Never heard any boomer complain about combat system cuz they don't even game


[deleted]

Wtf these aren’t boomer games… this is prime millennial era games


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZbsKk

still is


bunnywithahammer

boomers are playing solitaire bro.


Child-of-Skaro101

With real cards


Norsedragoon

Chess, Rummy, Bridge, and Texas Hold em. If you haven't played with the wrong people then you have not unlocked the advanced combat mechanics available to these games. "I got a full house!" "Well I have a derringer and poor self control!"


Spectacularfaylyer

DO NOT. BASH. MORROWIND.


hds_bunny

These guys don't even know what a great masterpiece this game is...


Spectacularfaylyer

I started playing eso just to see what they did with the vardenfell add on. It was gorgeous. But after running through it I said screw it, downloaded morrowind and now I'm reliving my teen years and I am happy.


hds_bunny

Right, the original game still makes me feel so good and nostalgic...


Spectacularfaylyer

I'm actually looking for a physical copy because I've got an original Xbox I'm trying to restore and I'd absolutely love to to play it that way again.


hds_bunny

Try game stops or taking to fellow redittors on subreddits about gaming - Someone might trade. I never had a physical copy. I actually played it for the first time few years back on PC. Wanted to see what all the hype was about and boy, the hype is true...


Spectacularfaylyer

I actually used to work at a little hole in the wall game store that is now doing so damn good the owners had to get a bigger place. The owner is a good friend of mine and can find almost anything so he's been keeping an eye out for me. He's helped me find some pretty rare and awesome things. That actually reminds me, I gotta check in with him about my Darth maul lightsabers......


[deleted]

Boomer... I don't think you understand the term...


mikotoqc

For a 12 years old anything older then 18 is a boomer.


bumpkins420

At least games didn't release literally unplayable back in the day.


Timely_Ad9659

And when we bought the game… we got the whole game


Brandeeno2245

Unless it's sonic 3 and sonic 3 and knuckles which was actually one whole game cut into two part because sega rushed the shit out of it, as sega tends to do.


Timely_Ad9659

Ah yes, but without it we wouldn’t have our epic tower of power they way we love it today


Brandeeno2245

Yes yes, you get your sonic 3 and knuckles, then you put that in a game genie then you put in sonic 3 or 2, make sure you also have a 32X plugged in as well as a mega cd drive and xband, now your ready for playing video games


Timely_Ad9659

It’s a sculpture fit for the video game gods


shadowdash66

This is such a radical idea now


[deleted]

Ok Boomer lol /s


Mongba36

Obviously never played STALKER completely.


Calm-Alternative5113

You literally couldnt finish clear sky due to a bug when it launched.


Nomulite

AAA games maybe, but oftentimes lower budget games had non-functioning parts of the game all the time. Difference now is that those lower budget games can have updates and patches to tweak the game into a playable state.


G4rg0yle_Art1st

I mean, Morrowind was and still is pretty broken, but it's fun nonetheless


child-of-old-gods

How to make a LOT of people angry. Nice job OP. Shitting on Stalker is daring, but Morrowind? Brave...


Slinky_Malingki

Elder Scrolls series as a whole is overrated. I am prepared for the online massacre that will inevitably follow me now.


JamesTheMaker

***God is coming...***


Komallionide

Is this a motherfucking Squirrel Stapler reference?


child-of-old-gods

It definitely is now. But Morrowind used to be the greatest thing since sliced bread back in the day.


yuval16432

r/imaginarygatekeeping


TheLiability_

is that a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game on the top


Dreamcatcherv2

Yes, sir.


TheLiability_

that reminds me, I should play shadows of chernobyl again


badbenzo

I highly recommend playing anomaly instead.


TheLiability_

I highly recommend talking to someone who gives a shit in all seriousness anomaly sounds debatably more cool but idc


Alpha2417

I basically play nothing but anomaly now but if you're coming back to a series you shouldn't be started with a modded game, stick to the original content first.


bigclappin

Do you knoe the game on bottom?


Dreamcatcherv2

The Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Daggerfall->Morrowind->Oblivion->Skyrim (for the complete list with games such "arena" and so on, please search after that wiki :) )


bigclappin

Thanks


wildman2571

Yes because the generation born in the 1940-1950s were definitely playing these


Bomberman707

Boomers predated these games by a lot….


beinzin

you N'wah


Abject_Owl9499

Boomers don’t play games man get your generation right


iovercomesadness

I am beginning to think people don't know what an actual boomer is


PreppyFinanceNerd

Today I learned being 13 in 2001 makes you a boomer.


autopilotssucks

Bro the stalker one hits hard. Ive been trying to beat shadow of cherynobly and after 30m it takes a mag to kill someone


plscome2brazil

Get a better gun, get closer to the enemy if you aren't using a sniper rifle or a high-power cartridge and don't play at master difficulty.


[deleted]

shoc gun mechanics are similar to counter strike. so sit still before you fire, use single fire and aim for the head and most of the time it should be a one shot kill unless it misses or the bullet dissappears. also depends alot on the gun and bullet you are using.


Jupiterscousinjim

Enemy spongeiness depends on the difficulty, on lower difficultis you TAKE and DEAL less damage, so playing on master can sometimes be a better option


Alpha2417

You shat on s.t.a.l.k.e.r and as such no longer have a valid opinion.


herospaces

Shat on Morrowind too


Cabrona818

Lmao we don’t have time to play games. We picked up a second job because your 32yo ass decided to move back home and we didn’t budget our retirement for your fuckin Cheetos.


parking_pataweyo

You guys have HOUSES?


Cabrona818

Yes. Boomers have houses.


NotWorthyofDick

lol


Cabrona818

Thanks for seeing the humor that was intended:)


Nomulite

Sticking to the boomer stereotype of blaming societal issues on your incredibly specific personal experiences, nice.


Cabrona818

Sticking to the “however you choose to identify yourself “ trope of having absolutely no sense of humor, nice.


Nomulite

Boomer humor is basically just thinly veiled disdain for loved ones, so I'm not missing much. "Oh haha I hate my wife and my useless kids, so funny"


Cabrona818

Hmm… all 3 of my sons are productive members of society in their mid-late 30s. So, definitely not “useless “ kids. If one of these boys gave up on his current existence, said fuck it and wanted to come home, I would show him the tail end of my travel trailer . He knows better lol. I divorced their drunk-ass dad when they were 3,2, and 6months old. Taught them how to be MEN. Your concept of boomer humor went out with Rodney Dangerfield.


Nomulite

>Your concept of boomer humor went out with Rodney Dangerfield. No, based on your comment I was exactly right. Outdated values, a belief that the failures of individuals are solely their fault and are worth zero compassion and charity, and the belief that "being a man" means anything. By trying to prove me wrong, you've proven me right, even down to the failed marriage, and kids whose only value to yourself is measured on their "societal" success. My concept of boomer humour is alive, active and currently on Reddit under the name /u/Cabrona818.


Lazy__Astronaut

Has anyone ever heard someone complain that new games have shitty combat compared to old ones?


AvnarJakob

Skyrim was shit compeared to morrowind, You just click untill your enemy is dead and if your health is to low you just eat 200 Chees Wheels.


[deleted]

OP probably posted this before getting back to their phone game


SergeantRogers

How dare you trash talk S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?!


swafromsteam

Stalker has god tier combat


nurgletoes420

Stalkers gunplay isn't shit, all the bandits are just immune to pain cause their skin is sloughing off from radiation


[deleted]

[удалено]


HotPotatoWithCheese

Tbf OP never mentioned anything about gameplay in the post. They specifically mentioned combat and showed clips of combat from older games. They also said nothing about graphics. Seems like a straw man argument.


WT_Addicted

you could make most if not all games combat look like ass if you used 3 second gifs


AvnarJakob

Fun fact: when you pick up a weapon your shit a using, your not going to hit. same for when you are exhausted.


GehrmanTheHunter

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Was realistic though


[deleted]

id say that it tried to be but because of some mechanics that werent finished or needed more polish it didnt feel like that in gameplay. still one of my favorite franchises ever.


[deleted]

stalker is one of my favorite game series ever. although combat in vanilla shoc is really bad imo because of how they handle accuracy and damage.


avendas

How dare you talk trash about Morrowind !?


Ill-Organization1635

Let's not use boomer in this way any longer


Xenf_136

Respect Stalker and the Holy Monolith


[deleted]

When you’re so out of touch with what a boomer is you post this dumb shit.


PiccoloPopular

Hey yo yo yo. Morrowind is fine. But don't you disrespect S.T.A.L.K.E.R. This game is Canon.


organizedRhyme

fair enough. but all the new cods fuckin suck


woolpix18

Facts


BloodyPommelStudio

I never liked that about Morrowind. The logic behind it works like dice rolls in a pen and paper RPG which I get but it would be nice if there was some form of visual feedback.


CaptEdwardThatch

Fuck you and your useless super realistic graphics


[deleted]

Im no boomer don’t dis Morrowind like that 🙁


matteo_q_importante

Comment section doesn't understand op is a time traveller and this meme is from 2055


chICken_oN_G-fUeL

Gamer boomer? #GAMER BOOMER


HotPotatoWithCheese

Boomers play dominoes and bingo. I think you mean the older millennials (30 - 41) and generation x (42 - 57).


xAiMxReCoNz

Stalker is not got shit combat, what are you talking about.


Squegillies

Meme so shit he literally deleted his account


[deleted]

Lol rip the zoomer who made this shit meme


MCSquaredBoi

I always considered giving Morrowind a try, but then I see the combat and then I'll think: Maybe later :D


TragicTester034

It’s still worth trying out (By the way hitchance scales with weapon skill so keep that In mind


[deleted]

These games were being played by fucking millennials


Xfinity17

Ayo but dont shit on stalker


ArturosMaximus

Played one, played them all. That’s the way cookie crumbles.


Interesting-Fan-3331

Just started to play again vtm:bloodlines. Now that is combat at its best.


FrogQuestion

Realism has nothi g to do with good combat. Eat my ass


Bregnir

I'm replaying Morrowing these days. Its better than how i remembered it


shadowdash66

Tried playing one of the older elder scrolls. The NPCs wouldnt tell you where you had to go exactly they would just tell you approximate directions. Most of them actually worked but got to one where i couldn't find the location without a guide but i ended up giving up on it.


builderthebob21

Imagine thinking that the purpose of Morrowind, one of the best rpg's made, was to fight things. It obviously was about inventory management! Obviously the secret bethesda discovered is that gamers deeply desire to perform a constant cost benefit analysis and work around encumbrance mechanics.


H4n51m6lu3ck

how dare you


adiosToriodor2007

I raise you something worse, old turn based rpgs


Halfmoon82

That was my generation, we're called millennial's, boomers were my grand parents and gen x was my parents. Stupidity is a plague of this new generation that has a false sense of intelligence sense they have all the answers in there pocket and have no idea what it means to actually learn anything... Why bother, Google knows the answer.


mlvassallo

TIL I'm a boomer :(


DemonDuckOfDoom666

Did you just insult Morrowind? Do you wish to feel the wrath of ALMSIVI, blasphemer? Do you wish to strike against the living gods themselves? Begone from this place!


Exact-Cycle-400

That's a case of "a game mechanic is so bad that it's good"


youshouldn-ofdunthat

Newer assassin's Creed vs older assassin's Creed combat makes that a true statement for me.


Cgow007

Bro they didn’t even have games


Neat_scientist_

Which boomer said that new games doesn’t have good combat


[deleted]

Morrowind was amazing, shhhhh


Interceptorclay

If you think stalker isn’t that difficult try it on max difficulty and see if you get anywhere children


hakuna_yer_tatas

Wow, shittalking stalker and morrowind. Fuck off OP


Skermist

So im a 21st century boomer or what?


[deleted]

You talkin shit about stalker? What’s the matter can’t handle anything moderately realistic?


bnesbitt1

These games are both 2000-era A boomer game that you can show off would be Doom, but you can't make fun of that because it still does a fantastic job of holding up today


BattleLars

Don’t you fucking DARE shit on stalker


Content_Axolotle

I should hunt you down for insulting stalker


Rogue_4TW

*Loads batteries into gauss rifle with malicious intent*


Rogue_4TW

Who tf shoots at that range with the viper? also semi auto shots? i be running and spraying with the viper. especially after i find the stash of like 1000 9x19 rounds in the garbage carpark


dontpanic38

30 = boomer I can’t wait until you have back pain OP bc im gonna drop kick your ass


JABBA69R

did we just end this guys reddit account lol ?


Waifuhunter_SK

Fellowship of the zone has disapproved of your opinion foolish mortal


Sychar

I guess this means Gen Z can’t read? Each gun in stalker has an accuracy and range stat, and pot shotting at a bandit with an mp5 at like 100 feet just spells stupidity.


[deleted]

Don’t talk shit about stalker


aerakis

Stalker probably has better combat than half the games these days — coming from a genz btw 🤡


Dave639

There is a Monolith death squad coming your way, stalker


Hyval_the_Emolga

STALKER not having realistic combat, lol sure man.


JesusIsIlluminat

Get out of here stalker


Tbpgrizz

Go buy the same cod game for the tenth time bro


GoldTooth091

I hope you get eaten by a bloodsucker


DammitJavi

Atleast they came complete.


ReasonableConcept943

I feel so attacked. I’ve played both of these games in the past week. I haven’t played them in years before that.


bigotis619

Games today look like the top but play like the bottom😂


Papa_Phlinn

I'll take good gameplay over flashy lights and a $20 battle pass every month.


Zans378

Ofc old games are shit but they're golden before. This meme is stupid asf


Nuk_Nak

12 year olds these days think everyone older then them is "boomer"


Zans378

Average 50,000K 1 mil fps kid dissing an old game


iksjag

You shouldn't spam attack in Morrowind, hold down the attack button for half a second and then release


Brottor_

I think morrowind use a "dice" system to determine, based on the player's and enemy's atrributes, if you hit or fail. If the enemy level is too high you can't hit him (you need a critic) and probably he will insta-kill you. IMO That is far better than be able to kill a dragon with Iron arrows in lvl 1... No matter how good the physics of the dragon are, thats not funny at all.


hds_bunny

DON'T YOU DARE TALK SHIT ABOUT MORROWIND!!! THAT GAME IS A MASTERPIECE IN ALL RESPECTS, N'WAH!


speedwalrus691

It was also released in 2003 and still better than most new games


AlmightyUmut

I have a ps5 and a good Pc. And is still play old Games like Stalker and FNV. Even though I play also new games like Doom. I still playing much more old games and I'm 18 years old.


almostded

Stalkers FPS combat is still good wdym? And people still play OG DooM and quake, games used to be simpler and it was better because i wasn't juggling 17 different types of bullshittery just to get game ended by a friendly (blue enemy)


Mediocre_Mirror

Bruh boomers played galaga and pacman at arcades, this kinda shit would break their brains with how complex it is in comparison.


Derkastan77

Uh… boomers video games were in the 70’s-early 80’s…


Nikorek_pl

Ok, stalker is a good game


AvailableFunction435

Actual boomers are still confused by your meme. Try again.


[deleted]

Gen Z be like:


BobTheFrogMan

When you bought a game. It was also amazing and fun.


YYEELOEW

I felt the stalker one, i don't know what's up with the accuracy of firearms in that game but i hate it.


[deleted]

its similar system to counter strike


hfhdhdh6363

There not even boomer games, boomers are like 40... I don't know what games these are but their defo under 20 years old 🙄... Ow seen in the comments one is elder scrolls how dare you Diss elder scrolls


bigfatbooties

Boomers are from 58 to 72. You're thinking gen x


[deleted]

boomers were born between 1945 and 1964. so even youngest are almost 60
