. . . . that game is seriously addictive ;)

 

 

Part FPS, part RPG, intelligent AI, dangerous landscape, night/day cycles, weird creatures, strange occurrences, mysteries, evil villains . . . it's got everything!

 

The website claims anywhere between 40 and 100 hours of gameplay in single-player depending on how into the world you get, and I can believe it.

It's fantastic.

 

 

It's also got spectacular graphics, the best lighting model I've ever seen, and an incredibly immersive world . . . . it's both huge and massively detailed.

 

 

Unlike FC, it DOES have a WAFM for your bullets, which is brilliant.

 

I can draw some parallels to Lock On though, . . . . it's Russian, set in the Ukraine, was well worth the six-year wait, looks brilliant . . . .

 

 

A word of warning, though . . . .

I'm running it on a Core 2 Duo, 2Gb RAM, and a 512Mb 7950GT . . . and it's struggling. Ouch.

 

'Tis a little bit buggy, but believe me it's well worth buying . . .

Ive got it and its nice, but playing it on the hardest difficulty level the enemies eat too much bullets before they die. And i talk about the normal foes and not some atomic altered freaks.

 

You have to pump them with like 2 mags of pistols to get them down, way too unrealistic imho.

I got it myself and I'm loving it. It's very hard to kill the bad guys. Luckily it has quick saves other wise I'd given up by now.

 

I run it on a AMD Athlon 2.3 with a gig of DDR Ram and a X850Pro 256.. Mid setting no hick-ups at all... Runs real good on my system..

I've had a blast with this one as well. finished once before the patch, then again after(still haven't gotten one of the 'good' endings). I'm playing through it again now with a ton of mods. Good stuff!

Well, have fun... FPSs arn't my thing... maybe BF2 in the future, but that's about it.

 

Is Stalker realistic in any way?

. . . says the man who was muttering about Zelda?!?

 

 

They make a big deal of weapons that wear out over their lifetime, radiation poisoning, having to buy food and eat . . . .

 

In some ways, then, it is realistic. Of course, the whole "let's patrol the area around a nuclear catastrophe in search of weird stuff" premise is a bit off . . . . but I don't care :D

I just stopped playing for the evening.

 

 

I'm sitting at home . . . . in the dark . . . . and in STALKER I'm underground somewhere, with all kinds of weird stuff going on . . . . and there was a very loud, very angry-sounding growl.

 

Any game that scares you out of playing it except in daylight has to be good :D

 

 

Kinda like FEAR. (or so I'm told by friends of mine...)

lol, ya i'm a hipocrit.

 

No, i've liked zelda since i was 7, so that's the only reason why I play it...

 

But, ok, it's realistic in some ways, un realistic in others...

It's not Russian, it's set in the Ukraine, and made there also. I know, you don't care, be it Russian, Uzbek/CIS state X, but I do and hate it being called 'Russian'. I haven't tried it yet, but the screens sure are promising, as is the storyline. I don't like zombies and other nonsense, but heck, did you see those Mi-24s? Lomacs Mi-24s are nothing compared to that, hopefully BS will chnage that.

A mate of mine has it, and it runs damn good he says, but then again, he has some gamer's pc with blinking LEDs and a transparent case :/

I finished the game once now, but how do i install the mods, because in my mainfolder i dont see the folders where i have to put the mods, and when i put the mod folder in it the game won;t run anymore. But what the heck, i just want that FN gun you have!

Okay you can create the 'gamedata' folder yourself to put the mods in. Make sure you go into fsgame.ltx(which is in your stalker folder) and change this line:

 

$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$|

 

look like this:

 

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$|

Some random Stalker just ripped me off!!

 

 

Wandering through the wilderness I happen across a Stalker camp, and engage one of the chaps outside a building in conversation. He volunteers the information that he's found some snazzy rifle or other, and offers to sell it to me for a low, low price.

 

Now while this smacks slightly of unscrupulous drug dealer, I'm in the virtual world and most people have been friendly so far . . . . so I give him his money and he runs off into his hut to go fetch it.

 

. . . . or not. The bugger turns around at the end of the building, and suggests that he takes the place of Robin Hood and I take the place of a rich man! The cheek!

 

He then goes on to suggest that I not be seen around here again or I will receive a bloody nose.

 

Soooo . . . . I can either turn around and run away with my tail between my legs . . . or I can give this a moment's thought, choose to decline his kind offer (can't have people thinking I'm a pushover), whip out my nice little scoped rifle, drop to one knee, and put a couple of aimed shots through his thieving skull before him and his goons can react.

 

Half-Life never offered this kind of satisfaction :D

Well, i am now heading to Prypjat after completing it once i am now hoping to get the good ending, not all the wishgranter endings. Well....what do i have to do with those flashdrives? i have two of them, but what is the use?

The constant feeling of being both watched and unwelcome in the Zone makes the game very much worth it.

 

Oh, and a little word of advice...

 

If you're easily frightened or jumpy, do NOT play the game in the dark, alone, with headphones on AND have black cats when you're in the underground areas. There's marks in my roof where the mouse and keyboard hit....

 

Plus, of course, that me going AAAAH! when the cat jumped me made me press down on the mousebuttons, which fired off my weapn...which brought every soldier and mutant in the area come running with weapons/claws/teeth/whatever ready to tear up some poor hapless Stalker. Namely me....

Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone.

 

I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.

I finished it and got the perfect ending, killing the c-counciouse project:D

 

But yeah, i still got hose two sutpid flashdrives:huh:

 

Ah what the heck, i now know all the answers, also from the kill strlok quest....but you will hear the story at the end!
