Console only players, would you try out a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game if....

it came to your system(s)?

I whole heartedly believe that the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is one of the most underappreciated series out there and just doesn't get the recognition it deserves, I isn't often that game draws me in as much as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. does and I think it's a real shame those who don't play PC have yet to experience it. So yeah, would you guys try out a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game if it came to consoles based on what you've seen from the series so far? Such a scenario may soon be a reality, I remember reading somewhere that the developers said if a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game was to come to consoles it would be after Call of Pripyat.

I already have SoC but if it came on consoles I wouldn't pass it up... Trouble is that it has twitch gameplay, and analogue sticks just don't cut it. I also wouldn't mind going on a 2-3 person raid with co-op buddies if it was well intergrated.

I've been waiting to get a better Computer toplay themand I just got a new computer yesterday that is the one of the main reasons I was a console only gamer.

Edit* If it went to consoles I wouldn't pass it up.

I'm thinking about buying it for my computer, I just need to update my video card, I did a test yesterday on Crysis Warhead on high settings and my video card is garbage, I surpassed every other need, any recommendations for a good affordable video card?

Well if they made a new STALKER from the ground up with consoles in mind then yes. The game of course would have to be a little more action focused and have to get rid of the inventory system for control and interface purposes.

Pc gamers speaking out of love for console gamers I see :roll:

No I wouldnt anyway, It would most likely be stripped which is the truth. I have yet to get the newest one on pc still, but I want to so bad. Damn money. Then again, if someone I knew got it on console, sure why not. No point in completely passing it by.

They would have to lower the difficulty of the game for consoles. You can't respond quick enough with an analog stick. Plus, are there even enough buttons on a controller for all of STALKERs controls?SF_KiLLaMaN

They would have to streamline the controls, but that wouldn't be to hard, just map both the crouch and squat keys to the same button (which for the love of Christ shouldn't be something that makes you take your hand off the orientation stick).

Cycling through weapons mapped to d-pad.

This isn't cod though so you have another two buttons to play with (which would have been quick knife and grenade spam).

Nothing, Im a smug ass, who never makes sense with pc gamers. Dont mind me.

No, because I really don't care a ton for FPS' and S.T.A.L.K.E.R doesn't seem to be any extra special from other FPS'.

I was told the same about HL2 and it ended up being a fairly bland shooter as well. Add some RPG elements in S.T.A.L.K.E.R and maybe I'll care.

I honestly don't know much about this game. From what I've seen it doesn't look like anything special so I would probably pass on it if it came to consoles. I always see hermits praising this game, but I've disregarded those praises since I think PC gamers overrate their games.

I got one of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games on Steam for $2... and never played it.

And since I'm mainly a console gamer, the answer is no.

[QUOTE="Pixel-Pirate"]

[QUOTE="ironman388"]that's why you should play it. its totally different than pretty much anything out there. the atmosphere is better than ANY GAME OUT THERE, it sucks you and doesnt let go. once you get hooked on stalker its like passing the event horizon in a black hole, you will never escape. Metro 2033 seems the same, but definitely wont be as punishing and seems more like a corridor shooter, however when it comes out and you play it and you say "i want something more hardcore and more" then stalker is the game for you

Indeed I really don't know anything about the game because it doesn't interest me. Sorry. Can I interest you in playing some super mario galaxy?

Why buy it if you aren't going to play it? I mean, sure it was only two bucks, but still. :?

Probably not. It just doesnt interest me.

of course. when i was a kid til preteens i was a console/PC gamer. right now though, i dont have a gaming pc, and since im older i find myself not having enough time playing my ps3, let alone a ps3+PC. but yea, sure. although i would put Shattered Horizon above it. but of course, Starcraft 2 above all. lol.

I thought Stalker cop was a good game but way overrated by pc gamers. First off the game is not hard, you just have to save very, very often and repeat a section till you get it done with the least damage taken and least resources used. To me it was not hard just more time consuming. I thought it was good, but there are better fps put there, at least this one did try and be different, and yes why the hell wouldnt console only gamers try it? A good game is a good game.

Too much reading in stalker games...

The 360 is getting Metro 2033. Isn't that made by the team that developed the first STALKER game?

I love STALKER's ambition more than the actual game itself. The first one was so unpolished and unfinished that its difficult to feel the need to fork out for a new one. For console gamers: this is not a game you can play casually. Its very slowly paced, methodical and intense. I don't really know if its as suited to being played on a couch as it is to having such immediacy to the screen with the PC. In other words: its not a game for relaxing folks!! Its hard yakka some of it!biggest_loser

Anyway, stalker takes place in this world and is very very very deep. There are many mutants, romaind wild beasts, dogs, horrible experiements of the nuclear blast. Caches of weapons, armors powerup artifacts ammos to be found, traded or killed for. A number of factions like Duty, Freedom, Ecologists, the military are all trying to stay in power and push their own agendas. The life in stalker is done with real dynamic ai. Their is a food chain in the zone. You will see wild dogs chasing lessor beasts and so on. in the underground below buildings and settilements and the tunnels below the powerplant you will find abnormal mutants with strange powers that will hunt you, down there your flash light is sometimes your only light and it is litterally pitch black without it.

You are thrust into this world after being found in a truck that went off the road and crashed. The truck was a dead body collector, you were alive amogst them and found by another stalker. The only thing you know is that you have Stalker tatooed on your arm and a pda that says "Kill strelok" who's that? You make your way with only a pistol and are told to help wolf's crew with the car lot bandits. Do you clear it out with the help of the crew or do you take it on yourself? Do you use stealth and strategy or do you run in guns blazzing with only a pistol? Do you stealth kill a guy and loot his corpse take a sawed off or a slienced pistol and contiune to take them out? do you rescue nimble in time and complete your task?

I could go on and on gushing about this series, but really you need to check it out. If you are a console gamer and you have a pc cable of running the first stalke (a geforce 6 series will do) then go get the game expericne the best damn fps game made since the origianl dues ex.

One day, you'll need to try Stalker, you'll be able to get it for cheap. Even if you get your hands on it next gen, it's worth a try. And I was one who was dissapointed by Half Life 2. Try the game when you can get it for like 5 bucks. It feels genuinely fresh in comparison to every other FPS out there.

Stalker is not for everyone. I couldn't get into it. I just didn't see what was so thrilling about it. All I could think of was how far I had to walk to do anything at all. In a boring field with nothing to do. That's just me though.

Why would I "NEED" to play it?

Gamers usually try out most games, Stalker wouldn't be any different.

I don't see console gamers enjoying the STALKER games.

STALKER has a very specific feel and atmosphere, the games these people have come to enjoy are instant gratification boom fests. They would likely say STALKER is boring to them because they aren't constantly killing stuff.

Not forgetting that STALKER doesn't baby players and their decisions, people going from a mainstream/casual game would be in for a shock.

I couldnt get into it either. I got both the first and second games cheap on steam, and never even downloaded the second one yet.

I would get bored, then want to try again, start all over and get bored again. Never understood the love for those games around here. I don't hate it, but I didn't like it much either. I can see how some people would though I guess. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Third time a charm perhaps.
