I spent 5 days in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Exclusion Zone 

Quickly check out the video description & let me know what you think! TL;DR I'm lazy ❤

You NEED to know that you did a FANTASTIC JOB with this video. You worked absolute magic to get your render quality this high, and it was worth your trouble. The same goes for the audio. Thank you! This also is exactly the kind of video I'm hoping for. Onboarding new players, and engaging. Thanks for that ;)

Great Stuff as always, was really looking forward to a new video. Love this style of Storytelling. keep it up

That Groza witht he 'Dolg' suffix you picked up is an ABSURDLY good gun for early game. It uses 5.45 ammo, but hits like a 7.62x39, and has, I think, a 60 round mag. Uses NATO sights instead of WP. Can't use any suppressor, though.

Really enjoyed this! One thing I don't know if you noticed, the Freedom guys you were following around were the same who told you to leave their kills in Garbage. Love it when that happens in this game! Keep it up I love your videos!

THIS IS AMAZING. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I love the 100 days format, so although you said it's hard to make videos like this, pleaaase don't abandon it.

I love the format Cheeki! Good watch this one 😀

i really want to see a "100 days" of this series

This was one of the funniest narrations you have done so far, really enjoyed it.

Love this style of content, in general all your stuff is some of my favorite STALKER content because of how high quality it is. Keep it up!

I HOPE you will make a new Invictus run, this time with a faction that can participate in Lost to the Zone. Your military series is some of my favorite content for Gamma ever made. This vid was great too btw, really liking the narration and the familiar paths you are threading all around.

Great Video! Really refreshing and "chill" after the the Gamma Iron Man run, love it + keep up the good work

cheeki, in video options, turn sun shadows to medium to get rid of the weird shadow striping. it is on low by default.

Bro keep it up with the videos, I love them so much. I got Stalker Anomaly when I watched life of boris play it. When I didn't know anything about the game, you helped me with your top quality videos and amazing teaching skills. After I learned more things and got to know the zone and its mysteries a little better, I began to really enjoy the game and made great progress. Suddenly, when almost no one was talking about anomaly anymore, I began switching to gamma because of you, I saw you making videos about it and I thought it looked amazing. Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos that helped many lost stalkers to find their way back into the zone. Keep it up :)

This was very enjoyable to watch, not only it does a little story telling it also gives new players a form of reference/guide to get a feel for the game

YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB! This video is amazing!

Love the content you've been putting out! You've made me fall in love with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and it's mods all over again, especially by pointing me in the direction of several lesser known mods or by doing these unique playthroughs. I imagine it must be a lot of effort on your part, making these videos, but the passion shines through and I'm always excited when I see a new video of your pop up. Perhaps you should consider putting up one of those "buy me a coffee"-type of links *hint hint* 😉 Cheers, man

I love the way you narrate everything and explain your thought process, looking forward to more videos as and when :)

I can't believe that i just listened another great stalker story from you man, Great Job for this. Can't wait for part 2

the quick editing doesn't let us bask in the zone very well, the quiet atmosphere between the fights is important! (vid was still very enjoyable)

Great vid', Cheeki - loved the narration. Installing a new SSD tomorrow. Having spent several weeks enjoying Anomaly (currently trying to figure out what to do about the Bounty on my head), I can't wait to give GAMMA a try.

"Pain is part of the experience." Sounds like a name of a metal band or album. Haha.

Nice vid, enjoyed it. Starting to get into Gamma, such a good single player game.

J'avais pas capté l'onglet pour récupérer les missions, super vidéo, j'espère qu'il y a la suite de prévue !

Great video man. Keep up the content your killing it.

Nice vid If i go to Rookie village, I will take Fanatic with me for a few days, with the PDA quest, he can give you some more mutant hunting quest on other area. Other companion would give quest this way

Amazing vid bro! Keep em coming

Love this vid man, keep it up

I like this narrative style of gameplay video!

Honestly, im here for this content. stopped everything i was doing, and just enjoyed your video. I think i'd watch every video if this was how it was. tip top mate! thanks for the awesome show

you met the same freedomers in the great swamp and in garbage, thats epic man. loved the video

This turned out to have adequate levels of both cheeki *and* breeki. Well done, STALKER.

Great entertainment my friend! I find GAMMA very fun but not very hard and grindy. Could you do a: "I survived 10 days in STALKER A.R.E.A." next? Cheers.

Im getting serious GAMMA withdrawals, and this series is really helping me haha Having to wait a couple weeks to get a new monitor is killing me!

Awesome dodging skills ! And very good content, thank you.

Spawning as a contestent in the arena honestly sounds like a great start to a STALKER excursion!

J'ai aimé ce format de vidéo !! D'ailleurs je trouve ça amusant mais j'ai commencé une run il y a pas longtemps en choisissant loner et ma première nouvelle armure a aussi été une "predator" 🤣

I'm surprised you don't know this, but you can repair any weapon part as low as 10% if you need to. You just need to buy the part repair kit to do it. This will let you repair any part from 10% - 60% condition. Armor parts need to be at least 50% to fix them. I was annoyed that I sold a ton of parts below 60% when I realized this finally. Someone will now inform me that this isn't the case on hard mode. :) Love the content!

the snork battle was so awesome, would've loved if you would've showed it fully, every successful sidestep gave me big satisfaction, so rare to see those type of situations play out like that

Love the videos and actually keep learning quite a bit, it is amazing how confusing GAMMA can be early on even for somebody who previously played Stalker and EFT and a little Anomaly. Love your info videos but it would be great to see one going over the current mod options, I feel like a lot of them need fine tuning for various experiences (like a little better weapon conditions for newer players or in some instances to make the game harder once you are ready) but not all of them get good description text or you don't really know if it would be a good idea to change sth about that setting.

I hope you post another video like this because it is so good

This was pretty good, i like this style.

It was definitely a great video and im up to see more videos of this style ❤

Nice video as always!

I've been using Safer Hip model for a while and never even noticed her shiny detector until you mentioned it.

Love this format

Fanatic flexing xD love those videos man

00:10 My man 00:38 THATS ma boy!

I’m playing metro exodus while watching this and when you were fighting the mutant at 27:55 I panicked cuz I thought a watchman had spotted me in game haha

The video is amazing, go for it if it isn't a big hassle but if you think it's too much work I am ok with that. Good luck!!!

great video, Hope we will see more !

This kind of content is wonderful!

I like this type of video, very fun to watch.

I really liked this new formats, i think you should keep going if you feel like it ! (otherwise that's okay, the old format was good too)

hi mr cheeki its a nice video , dont get me wrong the long format raw videos are better for playthroughs, but it's nice how you have formatted this one. 0.9 has been quite a trip for me, the new graphics and sounds are so nice. those anomalies that spawn in the sky, actually scary now!

5:15 Welcome to the zone. Beinvenu a la zone. (change the quick grenade key) bonne chance mon Brave

Very good video!

yeah that's good ! good luck with editing lol, I know those formats take ages to make Cheersy breeky < 3

I LOVED THIS FORMAT

Wait... 🤨Wtf, I can watch this beautiful video in 4k?!🤨

28:29 thats the same Freedom Dudz you met in the swamps haha

It's so funny, the swamps are my home. The OG SoC was causing really bad graphics glitches and I wasn't able to play it on my card back then as a teen. Some years later my mom bought me clear sky. It was a bit of an action game, but ignored the main story for the most part. Only after some hundred+ hours I even went for it, so I didn't care. But the swamps always are like a fond memory of what brings me on edge. No area in this place makes me listen so much like the swamps. Voices are kinda easy to spot. But discerning a rattle in the grass can be life or death. Companions are your friend there - without them it is really hard to feel safe enough to stay long in the pda or inventory. Maybe I'm just into pain, but damn. I enjoy it every time again to climb this tower and look over this large labyrinth of swamp grass and reed. Had some good fights from there too, fighting controllers that come out of nowhere and get you through the grass. It's funny. I never finished a stalker game - maybe because I don't want it to ever finish (or because I couldn't be arsed to fight 6 of these small telekinetic assholes, Burers, while two gave me already hell beyond belief in Gunslinger - but that one I would have finished if it wasn't for that last mission. A great game, I loved it. When I found Anomaly some 4 years ago I was beamed back into my childhood. I tinkered a bit with game engines before without realizing what this all is at all. Now I work as a game developer in an outsource studio on some of my other childhood titles like battlefield - all driven by the wish to create something as a homage to this game. Wish me luck. I wish these guys at GSC that they may go out as free people of this war. The head of AI went to the front early on. I hope he's still around. Cheers for your content. I often don't have the time to play it myself, but I love to watch regular stalker content.

great video!!

Nice!

Loved this, can't wait for more

I could feel your pain when you tried that shotgun xD It had a terrible barrel and did barely any damage because of it.

What a legendary combo, doing nothing and Freedomers! Post made by the Duty boys

love you man

bro got done more done in an hour than I did in 3 days. Was so proud of myself for delivering a package

The funniest thing was shooting bandit with shotgun dealing less than 20% damage and telling everyone the next one with 2% is better. hunters backpack you cannot upgrade

those m1911 animations r good as hell

Excellent video! Please do another Invictus run as Freedom!

Nice new format. Love it 😊 . Maybe too much comment / cuts ?

I keep going back to Butcher even late-game. I stuffed the box next to him with mutant parts and meat, so if I need some quick cash I can sell him some parts and hand in mutant chops for missions. It makes going back to the earlier areas very profitable.

this guys stalker content is unmatched man

The intro gives duty members flashbacks

“These guys were cheating and not doing that much”. Every freedomier in a nutshell

That minimap is clean AF, 😲

28:28 actually are the same freedom guys that you've met in swamps xd

32:37 I thought that was a "Nerd" and I thought "Lucky Bastard"

This guy found AK-5C and casually forgot to mention it in the video.

cant wait for next invictus run

What a journey

You make all this looks so easy, on hardest difficulty no less. Meanwhile I'm struggling hard to keep my health above 50% in easy difficulty.

This was very fun but looks like an absolutely absurd amount of work.

nice video friend! :)

AI seems way smarter with this 0.9 update and I love it. I've been getting shat on by rookies.

1:27 A blast from a KS-23, regardless of ammo type, would rip apart a human wearing anything less than a mech suit. Not an exoskeleton. A mech suit. Like, gundam style.

good video comrade

Yo cheeki! Just now getting into gamma because of you and starting to have a blast. Do you do the default hard difficulty settings or do you adjust the damage factors in the settings? I'm trying to figure out how I want my damage to feel in the game

can you do a part 2? this would be an amazing series!

hey cheeki, thank you for the great content! Is there a list of mods you use (beside the ones from gamma)?

I never really used companions in base anomaly unless I thought I'd need more carry weight but in Gamma I always have extra guns with me. Fighting is expensive. Friends are good for your wallet and crafting mats.

5:16 LMAO I've done similar when trying to throw grenades out the window or through a doorway and it hits an edge and comes back to me. OOF

You should do a irl 24 hours in the zone challenge. See what happens in just one day.

I really like ur content

Awesome video!! Why does the campfire mode say “don’t touch”?

nicee , keep up.

3:40 I had to scroll back just to check the condition of that shotgun 🤣. Broken barrel no good 🥀

Hey Cheeki, if I may ask, what are your graphics settings that are enabling you to get 80-90 fps? I guess I should also ask, what is your GPU and how many cores does your CPU have? Thanks for continuing to make the best stalker videos on YT!
