::Spoiler:: If you've beaten Stalker, AMAZING, can you answer a question?

The end was great, though not nearly as such as the ones posted on youtube, the real ones. It says that if you end up with a real ending, doing certain missions that I didnt do, you pass the wish granter and find your way to the C-Conscious tanks where it stores the 7 or so people that are used for the brain, but doing so you face all the Monolith soldiers. Is there alot more of a game there or is it a simple little mission. From wikipedia it sounds like there is a huge fight left to be fought after that ending.

--see the Plot section if you dont know what Im talking about, as I certainly learned alot.

ALSO is there a way to download a save game that someone has that has saved it right before a good ending, so that I could just load it up and get to that last mission.

PS I got the Blind ending, and it was cool in the way that you know watch out what you wish for. Great game, one really good use of leveling up throughout, by the end you hit a true top, some games you start of killing everything insight, this game builds, gets faster and bloodier, but it does it gradually, so by the end its sort of like a real treasure.

Finish the game properly, its a really fun ending

You find this control room blow it up, then get teleported back out into Chernobaly and have to kill about 50 monolith guys while teleporting around.

as for the cutscence itself, it dosn't answer any questions and is just weird and confusing, this game dosn't explain much of the storyline and leaves you saying "what the?".

to get the good ending you dont have to play the game differently, you just have to complete the ghost quest, find the door decoder in the hotel near monolith HQ, then insted of going to the central room in chenobal, before you enter the huge room, with the huge ladder, you run around the inermost hallway of the building until you find a doorway with a klaxton above it (yellow, rotating light), climb up the ladder and you find the door you can decode and that takes you to the real ending (full walkthrough can be found in gamespot walkthroughts).

btw, how did you get the blind ending? I tried different alliences and the only ending I ever got was the greedy one

there is another 1+ hour worth of game after the wish granter. Simplistic overview is you talk to some guy who explains a lot of stuff. You then choose and one choice ends the game right there. the other continues the game. Then you move through a hard indoor section against some really tough monolith guys with gauss rifles and exo suits. After that you fight outside the reactor and all around it which makes up most of the gameplay after which the cutscene triggers and you win. LIke I said it's 1 hour or more gameplay, it's tough stuff too but rewarding.

You get the greedy ending if you have over 50,000, so just buy loads of stuff before the end to get something else. Most people get blind or greedy.

And yes you should be able to get somebodies save game and use it to the end. I'd give you mine but they got currupt by one of the patches :cry:

lol i know what you mean on the patches, i was this close to patching the game and then read id have to start over, and since the beginning is a little boring, im like hell no.

do the patches improve anything?
