So i just got S.T.A.L.K.E.R.....

....And it is amazing! It makes you feel weak, and not like superman (i.e. CoD, Halo, etc..) Its a great game, i really recommend it (im using the complete 2009 mod btw...) I really cant wait to try out CoP!

This guy should talk more, we hardly hear a word out of him.

But to the OP, I'm glad you enjoy it. :)

I remember my life before Stalker.

It sucked so much and I didn't even know it.

Glad you've finally seen the light.

Does that mod include removing of the head bob? that was annoying.

good to hear that, some people cant get into it but its definitely a ****c.

And another one has seen the light.^.^nintendog66

I'm not much of a FPS fan these days but I do like me some STALKER.

Yeah I really couldnt get into it either; for me the plot was not presented very well and the characters couldnt really hold my interest. Also most of the time all the npcs look the same either brown windbreaker or white windbreaker. Maybe the game gets better later on but I didnt get that far into it to know.

Maybe Stalker 2 will be able to do what Stalker 1 couldnt for me

I just got it too and installed the Complete mod though I haven't started playing it yet.

Is it as hard as Crysis? That game is crazy hard and it drives me nuts. I thought about buying Stalker on Steam.

CoP is a disappointment after STALKER+Complete 2009 mod. The original felt so much more mysterious and carried the atmosphere much better than the prequel and sequel. I bought CoP, but never finished it. I'm waiting for the complete mod for CoP to be released. They said they were working on it.

I wish more games overwhelmed me with quests and NPCs.

There's no such thing as STALKER 1 and STALKER 2, they have names, STALKER 2 have only just been announced.

Well i've ben playing the game since it came out.

The thing about this game is the actual game-world. Its a very different place from most games, because it doesn't treat you like a important person, in most FPS's the game-world usually revolves around your character, in this game you are treated like just another weak stalker, and if you are not carefull and very smart about your next move, you will die and be frustrated countless times.

Basically, the game, as a WHOLE, is not that similar to classic modern FPS. Its more like a Survival/FPS/RPG type of a game, with a grim deep atmosphere and sad post-apocalyptic world were life is a fight for survival.

I thought Clear Sky was pretty hard solely because you'd needa bandage every single time you got shot, and to add to that there was a constant shortage of bandages in the game. I only barely made the end of the game as I ran out of supplies and money way too early.

But yeah, I thought the STALKER games were pretty manageable to beat once I knew what I was doing, but somehow they did make me sweat a lot and I still see them as pretty damn challenging for as far as shooters go. Crysis was easy, though.

Shadow of Chernobyl is really a game unlike any other I remember playing. Every moment is tense because you never know what might be around the corner waiting to attack you. Interested to play Call of Pripyat after I finished the first game. I'm taking it very slow and steady.

i liked stalker quite a bit, made you really think about your next move cos you can walk around a corner and get killed in a few shots. i was raididn a underground thing and got killed from behind by some invisible bastard

Hmm, it seems most people who like stalker, do so because its not an easy game. Ok that but i wouldnt call it amazing, all the rest are at decent quality, excluding some gameplay unbalances and bugs. Personally i had more dislike for the quality of the singleplayer campaign and the overall quality of the product rather wherever the difficulity was low or high. I mean, in all games you can adjust difficulity. Anyway a good game but i just cant see what is so amazing in that low budget european fps.

Also on the "god" thingy, every time i play a stalker game i got my ass kicked in the early begining thanks to the crappy weapons and armors and i kill everyone and everything later on, once i get decent weapons and armor. I literally shoot my rifle and enemies go down as opposing to missing in the begining and taking alot of damage. So a warning tc, you might turn into a god later on too, because the truth being told...stalker is unfairly easy in the begining, it gets easier later.

Oh and in that thingy, i found crysis to be much harder than stalker.Iin crysis my health goes down fast, which also happens in stalker but i got plenty medkits that heal instantly and armors that take much more hits later on. Also you constantly get better and better weapons that are more dependable to a too good state. So yeah i thought crysis was kinda hard but stalker was much easier. So as reply to demonic 85, perhaps you also find it easier since shooting mechanics are much easier than crysis and if you stick to your guns you can carefully shoot your way out much more sucessfully.

STALKER's shooting mechanics are easier than Crysis? Don't think I'd agree with that - Crysis doesn't even have bullet drop AFAIK. And the recoil in that game is completely manageable. In STALKER, aiming is a lot different.

But it's not a big deal.

My information might be of use to a Stalker like you.

The S.TA.L.K.E.R series are great, too bad i got scared when the bloodsucker popped out for the first time in SoC and stopped playing :(

i've been playing clear sky ever since because it has less mutants and more faction wars :P

but I'm thinking of giving SoC another chance.

I've tried to beat SoC about three times, with me stopping everytime at the first lab you get to (X16? X15?). This is either because I don't have the time to invest into this game, or because I get kinda... scared to play. That game is probably the only game that has ever scared me. Not that its like horror kinda scary, but every encounter could be life or death, coupled with the fact that everyone else is just as competent in a gunfight as you are.

I'm going to have to wait for a three day weekend where I'm off of school and get that out of my pile of shame.

youre not the only one, I recommended call of pripyat to a friend, he hated it. He said it was cartoony and he got killed almost right away not knowing what to do. I didnt even know what to say, this was a guy who loved bioshock, I guess its not a big deal as he probably pirated it anyway lol.

Nevermind, he hates the game, we`ve been through this before. I guess he (and everyone else)should install Oblivion Lost Ultimate at least once and play the game on master difficulty. No matter what armor you`d have one shot from an assault rifle over 300yards kills you...I`ve yet to see another game where enemies actually don`t want to die and want to kill you so badly.

If that bloodsucker scared you, you'll just love the X-18 labs.

I bought this during the Steam weekend sale and I'm really enjoying it. I'm using the complete mod.

It's a bit rough around the edges, and I thought it started off pretty weak. But it gets better. A lot better. The gunplay is a excellent and it has a really bleak setting that's not quite like anything I've seen.

It helps that I'm finally getting better equipment. I now have a Stalker suit and a scoped Lee-Enfield. The guns you get in the beginning of the game are garbage.
