Sartoris Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I am quite liking it. Fells like the love child of Oblivion and Fallout... The inbred child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I picked this game up during the Steam Holiday sale and I have to admit that this game is quite a hidden gem. Two years and almost all the bugs are ironed out and the game is essentially improved by the amazing mods that have come out. I love the realism of the weapons compared to what you find in other survival RPG's such as Fallout 3. It's quite a different experience. I'm not looking forward to the "horror" aspect of the game in the danky basements and buildings of Chernobyl. Stalker + Complete Mod 2009 = Win.

sw1tch.. Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 One of my all time favourite games. Played through several times with Complete Mod 2009 or Oblivion Lost! Just awesome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wow, didn't know about this Complete Mod. I loved SoC, but lost my save in a format and never ended up finishing the game. Time to play through again I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hani Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm thinking about replaying the game. Which is better Complete Mod 2009 or Oblivion Lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm thinking about replaying the game. Which is better Complete Mod 2009 or Oblivion Lost? Oblivion Lost is supposedly much tougher since there are swarms of enemies after anomalies. I just chose Complete Mod 2009 because it was the latest and "greatest" mod for Stalker. It also enables freeplay so you can continue to explore even after finishing the game. The graphics are absolutely amazing! Playing this game at 1920x1200 with everything maxed out definitely beats most of the games that came out last year. I'll try to get some screenshots just to show it off.

LOC Veteran Posted January 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2010 I got Clear Sky during the Steam sale and it's awesome also. Not as good as the original though, but still pretty good. The DX10 added stuff is really nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The sky looks amazing! I love how one is bunched up around the bonfire strumming on his guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedxyz Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 One of the scariest games i've ever played, have fun. I checked out some of the gameplay videos and it's scary in the sense that the atmosphere sets it up perfectly. It's not in the same horror sub genre as Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just tried that complete mod, was fun for the first 30 minutes and then I entered a radioactive area and said I required 'Protection to pass'. Fine, I turn around and that message NEVER disappears! I was running all the way back to the starting point, at the trader - All whilst throwing everything edible into my face and using every med-kit I had. I was constantly still 'red' radiated and it was impossible to stop the health loss, then I died. Load my save-game and try to turn around again with same result, so I'm guessing that is actually intended to happen?! Great gameplay :rolleyes: skip.

I'm assuming that you ran across the railroad and then ran back to the trader. I just tried it and I did not get the same experience. It's unfortunate since I know you're a fan of realistic shooters, such as Arma. has anyone played CoP yet? it was released last year in some countrys, cant find any decent reviews though.'There are some user reviews, which tend to be biased. e.g. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...ad.php?t=986550 It's going to be released early Feb. IGN did a very good preview writeup of the game and mostly had praises for it accompanied with 1920x1080 gameplay videos. http://pc.ign.com/articles/103/1038477p1.html Gameplay video: http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/14340292/sta...res_102309.html It's quite amazing how STALKER captures the dark atmosphere. I can't think of any shooter that comes close to being that creepy apart from the no flashlight/gun combo in Doom 3.

Stuff like that just annoys me to no end, especially at such an early stage so I just gave up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 did anyone think the ending to clear sky was kinda poor and also buggy? I thought I couldn't complete it because the guy your chasing kept falling off the walkway. I kept reloading my save, but no, he kept falling off!!! then after several minutes I found out I could just jump down and survive. He was just standing there....so I just shot him a few times and the game ended. I liked the ending to SHOC better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
