S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Post by aicaramba » October 9th, 2008, 9:23 pm

I read some good review about this game.. So I bought shadow of chernobyl. Which is the first of the games (bit older).
Its an FPS with RPG eliments. Not levelling up and stuff, but finding better weapons/armor etc.
The game is freaking scary.

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the player assumes the identity of an amnesiac "Stalker", an illegal explorer/artifact scavenger in "The Zone", named 'The Marked One'. "The Zone" is the location of an alternate reality version of the Chernobyl Power Plant after its second (fictitious) explosion, which contaminated the surrounding area with radiation and caused strange otherworldly changes in local fauna, flora and even the laws of physics. "Stalker" in its original (film) context roughly meant "explorer" or "guide", as the stalker's goal was to bring (guide) people into the Zone.

Has anyone else played it? I like it bigtime so far.

Original game is ok if you wish to play a slow intense thriller. The game gets a little hard at points (other stalkers take untold bullets to kill em)

New version, don't buy.

It is VERY slow, it is buggy, it is boring as fuck.
I honestly gave up trying to play it after 25 minutes.

Waste of fucking money.

I intentionally bought the first version ;)
(it was cheaper :P)
Nah, especially the multiple endings and free roaming afterward appeals to me in the first version.
