I've heard so many good things about this game,

I am truly glad it has dropped to a buck. Anything I should know or Mod about this?

Hahah, i didn't see this posted so posted this same topic only seconds after you. Oh well, I deleted mine so we dont have duplicates.


On topic, this is one hell of a steal and I'd recommend it to anyone. Be sure to get the COMPLETE 2009 Mod as well which will enchance the game significantly while not changing anything drastic from the original.

I already have it and installed the COmplete 2009 mod,a word of warning: The loading times with the 2009 mod are looooooooong.

The game is great, It takes a while to get into and is a must try for everyone. It has a very bad first impression but stick with it.

Depends on your computer. I did not take a long time to load on mine (never tried the unmodded game for comparison though).

I agree though that the first impressions are not the best. Its definetely a game that grows on you as you get further into it.

I got the game when it first released, and it's worth every penny. At that price, there's no reason not to get it.

Strange, my load times with the Complete 2009 mod were actually quicker.

Without the 2009 mod no, i mean from what i can see graphically it doesnt look demanding. Although with the mod it would be different

If your computer is actually 10 years old, it probably won't run.

If it's 5 or 6 years old, then maybe.

Gamartto

MS points.

Bing rewards is no longer an option now that you need to redeem 400 points at a time.

if you can find an 800,1200 or 1600 point Zune/MS points card. then that's the next option, as long as they keep more 99 cent deals coming, you'll use up those points at some point.

or a pre-loaded Visa/MasterCard which can be used at any other retailer and not just GFWL. but I've never used them, so I can't tell you how to get one quickly.

From the game description on GFWL:

Chernobyl, Russia, 2012.



Fail, Chernobyl is in Ukraine.

This game is quite demanding due to the scope and the amount of AI controlled at the same time. A 10-year old PC couldn't run it.

Yes, you can go to walmart or any videogame store and by those MICROSOFT POINTS CARDS! then you just enter the number on it and you get 1400 points or what ever.

I REALLY REALLY wish that Steam would do gift cards in walmarts,etc.... for steam.

Cool, had no idea that the xbox stuff worked on windows (I don't have a x360/zune so I always assumed that those cards where locked to one of those products). Now I need to search the gfw market place to see if there are any more games I'm interested in (already have stalker), no point getting points if there's nothing I like.

I think they are supposed to be having these daily sales for the rest of the month. I bought a point card myself and am counting on using it.

Er No But if you are ever planning on upgrading get it now.It will probably be never this cheap again.

I played it first on an AMD64 3000 with a 6800gt graphics card and had no issues then.

It's got to be 1 of my top 5 FPS's I have played. I cannot recommend enough.

If they keep this up, we'll be seeing better titles for 99 cents. But like I said before, I wouldn't mind if they put newer titles that were priced at $5-10. If they're going to price it at 99 cents and never put out any worthwhile game then it's pointless for me. I would rather shell out some more cash for better titles at discounted price. Pretty much what Steam was doing with the Thanksgiving sale.

Ignoring the fact that the game is totally awesome. For $1 you can't afford NOT to buy it.

None of us know. :P You could ask someone from the UK. They will find out before the U.S. Besides, it's only 99 cents. Just get it if you like Stalker series. :P

Yeah, I'm gonna sneak a spam here - for those interested - and let you know that Clear Sky is $4 at Gamersgate.

I didn't really get into STALKER and never tried Clear Sky, so I can't vouch if either games are good.

Almost everyone says that, I have no idea as this will be my first time playing STALKER. Also $4 isnt THAT good since its under 2 bucks new on amazon (hard copy).

I've heard that too, but I haven't played the game. Also, it *is* cheaper at Amazon, but with shipping and tax, it'll likely go over $5. You can probably find it cheaper at a local video game store though...

Fileplanet is a good reliable service, there is an optional subscribtion if you want as well.
