How is Stalker? Worth Buying?

Nah i do enough stalking in the real world. No need to do it virtually.

Jk, much love to all stalkaphobics.

Did anyone actually play it? I would like their opinion.atst007

i beat the game and just told you my opinion, not worth a buy

Oh, sorry, I thought you hadn't played it. You don't think it's worth $20. I thought it was suposed to be good. About how long is it?

I played it. One of the top 3 games on 07 in my opinion.

I can use a 360 controller with it if I download the software and buy a wireless gamng receiver, right? It is worth $20 right?atst007

I doubt Stalker supports controllers. It'd be too difficult anyways.

Is using the mouse and keyboard difficult?atst007

With a 360 background, it will be at first. It takes a little time and patience to adjust.

do u have the specs for this game? im just asking because you dont like the idea of mouse and keyboardinyourface_12

Well mouse and keyboard is hard at first but the beauty of it is you can customize the controls to your liking. Also mouse>>>Joystick imo.

I just finished playing through Stalker again this week. I would definitely recommend it, especially if its only $20. The sequel (prequel) is coming out soon too.

dont listen to him...he obviously doesnt have good taste in great games...buy it man u wont regret it...the atmosphere is phenomenal. If you played and loved system shock 2 and half life 2 u will love this game

For $20.00 it is worth it.

However please make sure you patch it before you play it. (even then there are still a few broken missions) also even though people are saying that is about 20 hours long, it is really about 4-6 hours of awesome story and atmosphere, coupled with about 15 hours of go fetch quests, respawning enemies and map treks which whilst fun at first gets quite tedious after the 20th time.

Though it is purported to be an open sandbox (it actually is to some degree) some areas remained inaccessable until certain parameters are reached. Once they are passed you can travel the map wherever you like, which you will be doing plenty of for the boring "go fetch" quests.

I certainly wouldn't put it in the same class as Halflife 2 and definitely not in the same class as System Shock 2, but for $20.00 it is a good deal. Most of the gaming review sites give it about an 8 out of 10 which seems about right to me.

Has anyone played it?atst007

Worth about $10.

OK, it's very slow to get into. I bought it 6 months ago played the beginning and kept getting killed by radiation poisoning. Someone on these forums suggested I try and find artifacts to help with it. Anyway....

I gave the game a second shot and figured out that some of the artifacts can give you radiation poisoning. I have since got quite far! First underground section section is awesome. You get a very lonely feeling from the bleak landscape, wild dogs and radiation zones, then to have to go underground.....arrggh, it becomes really scary stuff. Without spoiling it all for you, I believe it is both one of the most atmospheric and scariest games ever.

Seriously, there was a part that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up lol. It really gets better the further you get into it. I've now just done the first lab x18 or something. Trust me, if you're a patient gamer, love cold harsh reality in your games along with heavy dose of atmosphere with a scary, dark topping, then get it my friend.

Just persist with the first hour and it soon gets better. :)
