The most technical problems I am having with the game is when I load up for the first time. Normally I am forced to restart my computer a coupe of times when loading my last save. Sometimes I noticed if I load a save game prior to that one it works better. In game I generally lock up once every 2-3 hours or so. Other than that I am pretty satisfied with the game. Anyone else having similar problems?
Fighting through the marsh was great at the start. I started getting annoyed that the garbage seems impossible to clear of bandits. Everytime I leave a map area and return I am forced to take all the loints over again. I noticed some improvements to mutants: bloodsuckers were stronger and regular dogs now become harder than the Satan dogs. I than got really annoyed when I could not complete the story. Something happened after I chased stelok and meet the hired assassins. I went to see forester and he mentions nothing. I went to the military warehouses and everyone just keeps to themselves...i must of jumped story. The graphical improvements are great........it seems that they grabbed the the emissions from OL. I have not been past the bridge in the red forest because of the bug but have not seen any good underground spots yet. If they are going yo make me play old areas all over at least have the underground sequences. The only one I have done so far at the aprgogram section was completely pointless. As for someones comment about this game being made to appeal to the masses is ignorant. A great game such as SoC is made because great designers fulfilled a vision. This game only suffers from bugs People are stating to compare this game to farcry 2 but I think it is far superior. Farcry2 is more like boiling point without the flaws. Ok tired and rambling...happy gaming
I actually liked generals alot. It did differ from the norm but I think that was why I liked.Which goes back to my main point that they can still make the same game just be a bit more innovative and give the gamer the new addiction that old C&C did. I thought it was neat picking a different general to play as.
I have played up to the point where you chase strelok(red forest) and than meet the hired stalkers that try to kill you. I accepted to work with a stalker to find forester...but he got killed. I have gone and talked with forester but he does not mention any help other than stash location and upgrading my gear. I went on to the military warehouse but everything looks like I missed a part of the game plot ,none helps or talks at all. I believe I jumped forward with the game story and nothing is happening now. Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks
Stalker may have mutants but it certainly has a realistic gameplay and a good AI.

Meh, that's up in the air. It wasn't all that great I thought. Enemies always knew where you were even in pitch dark, in a different building, and on a different level. The way they hid it was that the enemy would slowly creep up on you so it looked like they were looking for you, but they definitely always knew where you were... So that kind of defeated the whole "good" AI scheme.
STALKER AI only knew your gernral location. You can actuall flank them and see that not untill they hear or see you will they stop theri present advancement on your old location.
From what I saw in tiberium wars I hope this game is more than smoke and mirrors. For everyone saying the game does not need to be innovative, you are wrong. I would actually rather see an exact replica only updated....something like Dune 2000.
Ok, fantasy story with realistic like requirements. STALKER AI is excellent. I normally play games on normal difficulty and than repeat if I am not sick of the game on the harder level of difficulty. Stalker SC and CS are both great atmospheric games with difficult human like AI. I hope FARCRY 2 is similar to its strength's and better than its weaknesses.
I was looking at GS score of Tiberium wars...9.0, please. Now if RA3 is anywhere near the same style and qauilty I must not purchase the game. I beleive it is offensive to make a game that does not stay true to the orginal. the old C&C series was simple ,grity and, quite wonderful. I played Tiberium wars and was drawn into the world that i once loved but it was short lived. I do not get impressed with lazres and lights and I felt that was all this game was. I will cross my fingers that this game is true to its name.
I think we can agree when it comes to realism that games are made to appeal to the masses. I might say that STALKER is one of the more realstic FPS game I have ever played. I am reading the good and bad of Farcry 2 and hope it fits into my category of likeable FPS. I believe STALKER is one of the best FPS ever and find it weird that Farcry 2 is not being compared to it. I do see alot of comparison to CRYSIS but this differs far from STALKER. I guess I will have to wait for gamestop to ship farcry 2.
As for medkits and anomies that are har dto come by...it is the begging of the zone..it is not as stablsihed yet. Yuo speak of readiation of artifiacts....have you not combined aretifact to cancel negative effects. Just some thoughts. I have not plated CS yet but I appriacte your info. I also found you can shoot artifacts or blow them up when they are in difficult places to move them away from anmolies.
