notuptome2004 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Like i've said from the start, this game is lame, and boring. I gave it a shot at a friend's house and i really really dislike it. and why do you dislike the game what part makes you not like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockie Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 and why do you dislike the game what part makes you not like it. I can tell you what I don't like about it. Comparing it to the AI of F.E.A.R, the crisp graphics and the atmosphere - to me S.T.A.L.K.E.R fails on all three. The enemy isn't "smart" just programmed to bemostly ruthless but without skill or cunning. The graphics are dissapointing and the game performance is dissapointing. The atmosphere is just not there for me, not comparing to F.E.A.R with it's simple yet very effective music scores. Overall S.T (sick and tired of typing it) feels rushed and unpolished. It feels like a game that was abandoned and then quickly slapped together to make a quick buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micro Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The ai for me was great but at times you could definately tell it was AI.. There where times when i would shoot at the enemy and they would be repetative in what they would do, even though i had this pathway guarded they kept backing up hiding behind a tree for 3 seconds and comming right back, the thought of going over the hill to the left never crossed their minds, so at some points the ai is like playing online against someone else, in other it is well just ai. Repetition is my only complaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 One thing I dont like about the AI is their vision seems immaculate. At night they seem to be able to spot you far too easily and the only chence you have is if they have their flash light on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Wang Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well I'm afraid I'm with the people who have had problems running the game. It chokes a lot and that's on the most minimum of settings which makes the game look like Quake 1. Bad optimization and I doubt a patch is going to make this game run that much better, I might just eBay my copy after trying the patch when it comes and if I see no improvement.

Unimatrix Xero Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 me and my mate tested this on his new Dell PC last night specs from what i remember Intel Duo processor Clocked at 2.3Ghz 2gb Ram 500Gb HDD Nvidia geforce 7800 PCI-e 20" widescreen moniter plus other stuff we couldnt even run it with HDR on, we had to turn it off, but it runs TDU fine with HDR on... weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Finished this last night. The true true ending is exactly what I hoped it would be nothing silly. Almost feel for the guy in the end! The OTHER ok ending was a bit dire and predictable. And the other 5 bad endings did managed to creep me out ( Zone go away, Remove world impurities inparticular really ****ed me up.)

Ayepecks Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) There must be something wrong with your PC or your lighting is set to dynamic :pEven 3 year old machines should run it @minimum :p No, there is nothing wrong with my PC (especially when it plays HL2, FEAR, and Far Cry all maxed out with AA and AF), and dynamic is not enabled. Any cheats yet? Google has failed me for the 2nd time in my life :(I get bored of games to quickly if I don't cheat...pretty sad but thats just how I roll I'm sure there are some, but I can't find them on the internet. I want them when I've beat the game... I do that with all games, lol How does this deffered rendering work? I see no AA or anything when I enable it. EDIT: If anyone is getting framerates well below what they should be getting, try changing the lighting system to static. I believe you can also get AA to work this way from the looks of it (clearly looks better in terms of jaggies to me), but it doesn't fully antialias everything from what I can see. I'd recommend messing around with the lighting to see what you like best. Funny, I get better framerates on my crappy system, though: AMD Sempron 3000+ 1GB RAM 256MB ATI Radeon 9550 My good system runs a lot better with static enabled, but still not as good as the above: Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz 2GB RAM 256MB nVidia GeForce Go 7600 Probably due to the fact the game doesn't support multicore.

Ryan Versaw Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Probably due to the fact the game doesn't support multicore. I only have a single processor, single core machine, so I can't test this, but in the readme I believe it states that it will take advantage of multiple cores.

El-Diablo Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I just don't find the game to be fun at all, i find the interaction with NPC's boring and lame. I just wasn't impressed in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 PATCH NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OLD SAVES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) god i hate games that release non backwards compatible patches. edit: it seems to be "mostly" multiplayer related. I'll finish the game first then look at installing it but by then I probably wont be playing it anymore anyway.

I like to keep my savegames when I uninstall a game. I hate patches that break compatibility. Unless they get a patch that addresses single-player bugs AND optimization problems, I'm not downloading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I was going back and looking at some early screenshots of the game, and it's funny how different it looks now... Is that gun even in the game anymore? Some other early images: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/480/480467/imgs_28.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Is that gun even in the game anymore? Sort of, the model is updated and looks more like it's real life counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimoTurbo Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 So I passed the game but I skipped or failed so many missions. Despite my initial review, I think the game gets MUCH MUCH better near the middle and the end. I think the game will make it to my top 10 games of all time, I enjoyed it that much and I'm still going to go back and replay everything I missed.

lunamonkey Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Any reason why the AI bunches up in groups like this if you retreat from a fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
