So you want to play Ironman? A STALKER Anomaly Survival guide

This video was made with Ironman in mind but of course will apply to the game in general. STALKER can be an unforgiving experience, especially for beginner players and depending on the flavor you play (Vanilla, Anomaly, GAMMA, EFP and the dozens of different story driven mods) the game can be extremely hard.... and that's without even talking about doing an IRONMAN run.
