STALKER- Is Clear Sky worth playing?

Hi, I just completed Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl and want to continue with the STALKER games. I was wondering whether I should bother with Clear Sky or just skip straight to Call of Pripyat? Does Call of Pripyat continue the story from SOC with the Marked One and C-Consciousness attempting to control the zone? Many thanks, SW1S_W1

Sometimes a picture's worth a thousand words indeed...

I hope that answers your question. ;)

EDIT: the STORY sequence is: Clear Sky --> SoC --> Pripyat.

What if you started at SoC?

I want to get into the Stalker series, but which one should i start with and how much gb space does it use up? Also is it an rpg game?

It's very well optimized and can run on literally any computer made after 2002 so long as it has a card with dx 9 support. The very low settings can run on old mid-level computers from the early 2000s so that just tells you how insane the coding Gods of the STALKER series are. At the same time, on max settings with maximum dynamic lighting and overhaul mod turned on, it can make the best use of a good modern computer's resources and you'll get the best image quality vs resource usage ratio of any game on the market.

Clear sky is a brilliant game, it might not be SOC or COP but it is still a brilliant game. If you enjoy Stalker games, like myself, you will love it.

can you have followers in the game to bring on missions?

You will do some missions with NPCs alongisde you, but none of them will become your "followers" as such. You can also side with one of the factions and help them take over different territories, but admittedly this is a bit buggy. In any case Clear Sky is a fabulous game and definitely worth playing.

CS is fun but I was not as 'into it' as the first cause the areas are mostly the same as the first.

CS is cheap, so yeah buy it, even if you get bored after 5 hours its not like you are out tons of money.

Clear Sky is the poorest of the stalker games, if you really liked shadow of chernobyl you will probbaly still enjoy it. nutcrackr
