My first STALKER experience...

Never played this game before, but I decided that it was about time that I finally got into these games. So I bought SOC and put on the LURK mod.

After about 20 seconds of walking out of the little town thing I see some sparkly stuff in some grass just off the road. As I walk towards it theres some beeping. I wasn't sure if it was a geiger counter or not, so I just continued. As I get closer some small shock wave type things come off it and the beeping gets faster and faster. So when I finally get into the center of the shock waves I die. Half a minute into the game and I die. I think im going to like this :D

So, just wondering what your most memorable STALKER moment is?

My most memorable moments were treking back and forth through the same areas for hours killing hundreds of respawned bandits, until I realized anything that isn't plotline is a pretty pointless grind

LAB 18X

At the boat where have to get this relic and fight 3 guys to leave. Big ass battle and almost die and just when i goes off the ramp to leave 4 dogs attacks me and die. Grrrr.

Installing Complete Mod for SoC for the first time. Gosh that was beautiful. 8)

Definitely the first LAB you go into. Also I recommend getting rid of lurk mod and getting Oblivion Lost 2.2 or whatever is the newest version. IT has everything lurk has but more, i mean a ton more. here is a taste

The first time I encountered a Controller. That just... freaked me out.

Also, one of the final parts where *something* (I won't spoil it) communicates with you telepathically, so you hear an omnipresent Russian voice throughout the whole area. The last few battles are insane, too.

Some good moments...........

First time getting sucked into a vortex anomaly, and of course getting ripped apart lol. That was a real eye opener.

I will always remember the decent into the first lab of the three you go into in the first STALKER, and getting attacked by that crazy weird as hell psycho-kinetic creature towards the end of that long tunnel. Scared the **** out of me the first time. I returned to the underground lab again later in the game and he was still there. I killed him lol.

The second lab and it's sheer creepiness.

Not a great moment, but one that almost completely ruined my game..........I was in the area of the third underground lab before you can go down and stop the psycho-emissions from it. I had gotten a little too close and started to lose health so I started quick-using all my supplies with no regard for my injuries from enemies and the damage the emissions were doing. I had quicksaved as I tried to escape that moment, and soon died. Unfortunately, that quicksave was the only save I had done in a while. Numerous times I tried escaping from the area using that quicksave and meticulously using my last few supplies at the right moment before death. Eventually I got it down, and escaped. It just about cost me a good 15 hours or so of gameplay time.

[spoiler] When going into the catacomb for Strelok's stash, I was walking down a stariwell with my speakers tuned up.Then I heard a bloodsucker scream and my reaction was alt+f4 xD [/spoiler]

In one of the labs, I was walking further hearing weird sounds.Then a mouse jumped in front of me, I jumped aswewll and wasted half my clip xD

Meeting the bloodsucker for the first time is one of them most terryfing moments ever in my gaming history.Insanister

First encountering that thing underground that makes your screen shake and head hurt .... now ive got you scared :P The tunnel bits are pretty crazy!ColdfireTrilogy

Funny thing is

[spoiler] If you try to kill the controller with a gun, he'll pwn u.And if you rush at him with the knife he has no chance xD [/spoiler]

I ordered STALKER on Amazon and I'm getting somewhere between now and August 16. It's going to be awesome since I'm also getting the Logitech G35 surround sound headset.

BTW what is LURK mod?

Likely a big battle in the red forrest I was once in, runnign from cover to cover with an ar that was in none too good shape, and one nad ha half mags when I got into that fight (plenty of medkits tho).

The most amazing game of hide and seek Ive ever had in a game, only shooting when a headshot was acertainty or one of the 2 other factions that was fighting eachother had taken one of them down to so low health that a bullet would likely finish him off...

Really fun being this hidded 3rd player in that conflict, on that dark rainy night, where thunderstrikes was the best lightscource avaiable when it struk.

STALKER is amazing because it does not make scriptet setpieces, but allowes for some utterly amazing none scripted things to happen. And because it does not treat the player as a dribbeling mnoron that needs to have his hand held all the way.

After that fight, and looting the bodys, I felt like I had accomplished comething big. I was kind of proud I lived through that ^^

Those telekenetic things, kinda original...and shooting someone from point blank range with the hunting rifle to the head, two shells and he survived, i was like WHAT??????dakan45

In the first mission where you have to rescue Nimble from the bandits, I ran in with my pistol blazing and got mowed down. That's when I realized that this game was nothing like Call of Duty :P. By the end, though, it became one of my favorite PC games.

Also, when I got to the end of the tunnels under Agroprom and had my first run-in with a Controller. That was pretty jarring.

I was stuck on a really high platform and the only way down was this long ladder. The problem was, there were probably twenty dogs, three snorks, and an actively camouflaged bloodsucker waiting for me at the bottom. Luckily, there was an electric anomaly below me (not directly below me). I waited for the anomaly to set off and I sniped a few of them buggers. In five minutes I was down on the ground and looking at all of he corpses. I was in the Wild Territory, and I sprinted for the exit. I was so afraid there'd be more mutants, and there were, but a Duty patrol came strolling in to save the day.

You'll have to see the Wild Territory to believe it. Oh, and X18. Don't go in there with music running in the background, or you'll miss all of the creepy sound effects. That's all I will tell you ;P

My most memorable moment was when i played for 3 hours without saving to have the game crash. I was quite angry. The other most memorable moment was the first time it crashed. I walked out of that basement thing with the guy in it then CRASH. Ahhhh, such memorable memories. The other one is when i found out that if i press the Escape button more than once the game will crash. That was quite an interesting discovery.

Do yourself a favor. Before you go into Lab X18, wait till 1 in the morning (preferably when no one is home). Turn off all the lights in the house and crank the volume up.

OP are you playing LURK 1.1 or 1.0552 version ?

Meeting the bloodsucker for the first time is one of them most terryfing moments ever in my gaming history.Insanister

Just a quick tangent. In the later parts of the game, it started looking like this in the outdoors: http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/79917153-4.jpg Not sure why. chandu83

there is Psy generator that is causing this you need to go to underground lab and desroey it.

That game gave me a lot of memories. The labs are certainly unforgettable, and navigating through artifacts was something I had to stick into my mind to get through the game.

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="sseth672"] You hit the non-essential parts of the brain :p happens all the time, it seemschandu83

[QUOTE="chandu83"][QUOTE="dakan45"] I dunno, but if this is going to consoles, they better either avoid things like that, or simply make the weapons more accurate or the combat more simply. If it wants to be a survival game, fine just make weapons powerfull as matched to reallistic ballistics, if it wants to be more gamish, so be it but dont give me so rough odds. It makes the combat meh.dakan45

Prove it! Prove that your weapon is in good condition and you shot the enemy in the head and it did not work. Then I will believe you. Until then, there is no way I am believing you.

Forgot the name of the enemy but when it attacks you it distorts your vision to its point of view so when your far away everything keeps flipping back and forth. Total mind****.

Were you using the hunting rifle/sawed-off shotgun, firing a single projectile from thirty yards away? Or were you in their face?

I've had enemies bend over in pain after I shoot them in the face with a pistol from a good distance out, but you must absolutely suck if your shots did nothing. But then again, Clear Skies is the b*st*rd child of the STALKER series, so nitpicking that game is like pointing out that the mustache on the Russian sergeant in COD5 isn't up to par with their historical coutnerparts.

Was it Lab x16 with the poltergiests? That mission frightened me soo damn much that I quicksaved and exited the game for a few hours before coming back. :(

So, just wondering what your most memorable STALKER moment is?

I like the part where the Russian man ate the chicken leg at the beginning. biggest_loser

Except the guy eating it needs to be punched in the face.
