Console gamers who haven't played STALKER

There was a thread on the ol' PC board about the possibility of a console port of STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl.

Just out of curiousity, for those console gamers who haven't played STALKER before, what is your perception of the game? What sort of game do you think it is? And finally, would you be happy to try it out on the ol' console?

I see it as some first person shooter on PC that PC fanboys want everyone to know about.

I figure that if was worth looking to I would have heard more about it from official sources.

A game like this would not work well on consoles.

i actually saw a freshmen with this game it looked pretty sweet but i didnt have a beefy coomputer then :( im sure itll look fantastic!...on the ps3

I don't know much about it except that it's supposed to be a great game. If it was confirmed for a console port I'd definitely look into it.

I head the game was buggy as hell, but then even after the patches I've heard mixed things.

I haven't heard a lot about those myself. But you would argue that they're still worth playing of course.

So whats the difference between that and STALKER? Since u said you haven't heard a lot about it etc.

its one of the games that pc exclusive gamers gloat about, and if im not mistaken the stalker port for consoles has been "put on hold indefinately" ill check out stalker when i get in to pc gaming, see how it is

lol @ all yall indiecred gamers, you guys are a hoot. 'mainstream games' hahahaha.

anyway, i dont think how well stalker would be accomodated by a console. its a really great game, and i would love to see a nice console port. everyone that likes moody and immersive games ought to pick this one up especially if you have a fascination with post-apocalyptic stuff like i do. it does the whole scene very well.

Borderlands looks similar and better in my opinion.

which button on the controller would you map to quick save since it's almost pressed more than the "fire weapon" button in this game :P

In my opinion, it has the greatest campaign I have ever played. I don't even know how many times I have replayed it.

I'm a primarily console gamer and I recently purchased it. My expectations were alittle different then what it was. I figured it would be like Fallout 3 but a little more action oriented and better shooting. It ended up being more like Far Cry 2 with a post-nuclear european theme. I love the atmosphere, the graphics are well done and run well on my entry level macbook (running windows XP via bootcamp). The shooting gameplay was not as good as I was hoping for. I still feel like combat is a little clunky. I have played for about 5 hours or so. However I am going to conference to Arizona for 5 days and will have a lot of free time on my hands so I'm planning on bringing my macbook and playing one of my steam games, I might just go ahead and try and finish this game (or one of the Max Payne games).

If it was released for consoles would you play it, and what do you think you want from it in comparison to your pc version?Luthreidrome
