Yes. It does have it's frustrations but overalls it's extremely eery, atmospheric and absorbing. I'd say it does a much better job than Fallout 3 of actually being somewhat 'scary'.

If you have very powerful PC - 'SOKAY. But if you just cover the recommended requirements - don't waste your time. My PC should be powerful enough, but when I tried it, it was lagging even on low graphics. I was flaming from anger. And so, I didn't ever launched it again.

my answer is NO , never was fan of stalker games because of crappy polishment and atmosphere but ive played them to atleast 50% of game and i couldnt force myself to finish any of stalker series ...

well stalker CoP was not bad but still its not worth the money IMO ^^ save your money for upcoming games ( L4D2 , Borderlands , MW2 etc.)

I think Clear Sky is worth the asking price, the original Stalker had parts that were better than Clear Sky and vice versa. The factions in clear sky feel more organised but the original game had something about it that made the atmosphere feel better.

don´t listen to that guy .. it is totally worth it .. stalker series is one of the best series on pc.. you will be passing on some of the best current gen games.. it should be fairly cheap now , and with a couple of patches . it will give you a good value for its price .. unless you really don´t care for innnovation immersion , good atmospheric worlds and a different approach on the shooter genre and want just another cheap bangbang brainless thrill ride à la halo. cod 4 etc ... buy it ...

Stalker SOC is better,but CS it´s also a good game although not as good as the first. If you played SOC(and liked it) you will enjoy it too.

Clear Sky is certainly worth it. That said, Shadow of Chernobyl is the superior game and if you haven't played it you should. Add the Stalker Complete 2009 mod to Shadow and you've got the best Stalker experience available until Call of Pripyat is released.

Crappy atmosphere? What the hell game where you playing?

Call of Pripyat isn't out yet. Pirate much?

Lastly, MW2 is NOT a game worth saving up for. Honestly, if you prefer MW2 over STALKER you have no right to call yourself a PC gamer.

Whenever I play this I get an error message. It says something about bugcatcher has found a bug or some crap like that. It asks me to e-mail the bug report to the developers but the e-mail thing never works. If I copy and paste the contents of the e-mail and e-mail it through my e-mail account it comes back as not being sent. I have no idea what could be causing this. Everything is fine, then for no apparent reason, the bugcatcher message pops up and it's game over. I can't be bothered messing around for hours, trying to get a game to work. It's kind of put me off trying the other Stalker games. I'm really disappointed too because the Stalker games are one of the reasons I wanted a gaming PC. So far, PC gaming has been more hassle than it's worth.

It damn right better be polished when its just the same game being recycled except with added weapons. Also, the STALKER series was polished VERY well through a mix of mods and patches. Seeing as your a supporter of MW2, I am not surprised at all that you didn't take mods into consideration. Please, do return to your "high-budget" games that are suited for children with a 30 second attention span. As for the rest of the PC community, I think we'll stay behind and enjoy games with DEPTH over games with the best explosions; Games where the community plays an active role in improving and growing something, rather than just waiting around for developers to drop 2 new maps for $10.

LOL stalker series and l4d2 are "Recycled" with new weapons added. HL2 episodes are recycled without even adding new weapons...:lol:

I guess it aint cool when your logic is used against you. Also its time to learn that those simple games as you call it have tons of adult fans, thats because 80% of the gaming crowd is casual and not hardcore gamers that play for years and demand complicated games.(like the users of this forum)

Finnally modding is dying years now, i dont pay for half finished garbage made by developers that cant fix and polish their games before release date. Seriously community fixes and user made stuff to fix the problems that the developers couldnt fix in their own game :shock: Hows that quality?

STALKER SoC is all polished now, i'm not sure what you're talking about. Have you even played a STALKER game? I don't think you have by you statements... how can you say it's recycled when clear sky added in so many new things?

things added in clear sky

- new faction

- faction wars

- upgrade system for guns and armor.

- new weapons

- new armor

- guides, which is a HUGE improvement

- New areas to go to, like Limansk

- Graphic upgrade, arguably the 2nd best looking game this gen.

basically changes that changed the entire gameplay and look of the game not to mention it made the replay value much higher that linear shooters. that is a lot of added content I am not sure how you think the stalker series is recycled...

this lowbudget "crap" as you state, kicks almost every other game's ass this gen.

Dude, ARMA 2 is here. Which makes Clear Sky like 4th better looking in my list. It's worth man, buy it, patches fixed most of them bugs, there are some very cool mods.
