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

[Saracen 16]

It's finally around the corner and is released one week ahead of Tiberium Wars. Who has enough cash to flash to get this before Tiberium Wars. I do, and it seems an essential purchase! I know Sonic has been dying to get his hands on it for some time now.

I saw some pics of it and I find it... weird, but in a good way.

And any game with destructible enviorments and a great physics engine is a game for me

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. looks pretty cool the storyline is supposed to be pretty good, well better than usual

Yah I know you don't like illegal stuff admins but I am not telling them how to get it/where/etc etc I'm just saying THIS is how I try games that seem a little interesting to me to see if I should buy them.

 

I torrented it. Crap specs you need for those grahpics... But whatever, thats not the reason I'm hating on it.

 

I just don't like the look and movement of somethings... I also don't like the "big maps to do tasks" thing.. But thats just me! If you like that, GO BUY THIS GAME.

 

Uninstalled the game and letting the torrent share then going to delete it aswell.

I bought the radiation edition today and I quite like it. Some great single player elements, and the online multiplayer is quite decent. Finding it a little tough in areas though, it's a big old world out there.

I have to wait another 5 days for my copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R to arrive. Delayed release in NZ due to classification issues :roll:

 

By the end this week I'll splitting time between S.T.A.L.K.E.R and C&C 3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R arrives on Thursday and then I get C&C 3 on Friday.

Well, I guess we wont be seeing Sonic for a good month or two.

Little tip Sonic for when you play, make sure you have enough food, anti-rad med kits or plenty of vodka in your posession when you play this game. Radiation is such a bitch, that even the slightest exposure will have you dead in no time.

 

I'm really enjoying this post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure game. Nothing worse than running into disruptions in the space time continuum and stuff, keeps ya on your toes! I'm really enjoying online as well. a 60 minute game goes through an entire 24 hour period, and when it's jet black, it becomes almost impossible to see. Really atmospheric especially when thunder storms start. One moment you're sneaking about in the night, next it's like the movie pitch black, you end up realising that you're surrounded by the opposition when the lightning lights up the night sky. Damn cool!!

 

The bonus disc is sweet as well. Really goes in depth about recreating the area and features around Chernobyl.

And just in time, there is a CTRL-ALT-DEL comic that makes fun of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

 

Also: 1000th post! WOOOOOO

I'm still in school. Spring Break was a week or two ago for me. Hypno and Auron's is next week I think Hypno told me.

Oh, well, maybe I was wrong, I thought everyone who goes to school here is finished while those whom have work have vacations or something with their family... Anyway, sorry for the misconception.

Yea saw the game at EB games looked awesome plus I got a thing for games that have links to 1939-today historical events even if they're fictional

Hay ppl's.

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Is the absolute best game iv'e ever played.

Yet i haven't found anything in it that i does not like.

First I tried it at netcafé BoomTown for like two hours, and I loved it!

 

I went to the mall and bought it.

The things I love about it:

 

-Hostile inviorment.

-Radioactive objects.

-The geiger counter that makes noises when you get near the stuff.

-"Living World" (ill dogs tearing dead bandit appart near a wrecked car)

-Help a someone and be their friend. Shoot someone and make enemies.

-Theire russians (I just love them for an unknown reason)

-Most excellent graphics iv'e ever seen for a first-shooter ever.

-ZOMBIES! yes they are there! and theres a whole town of them! yehoo!

-The whole theme makes my brain tickle ^^

 

And muuuch more!

 

In singleplayer Iv'e reached 1# on the rank.

Im a "Freedom" member. "Duty" guys must die! "Bandits" "Loners" and "Mercs" are okay... wait. "Monolith" is drunk bitc*tes and must die"

 

Ive cleared almost every task I have recieved, including working for "Duty" for a period.

 

I dont know if you have seen it, but in the start there is this bridge where "Military" guards, and they want 500 RP to let you trough, ofcourse I slaughtered them, but it is details like this that I relly like.

 

I later ran into some "Loners" that where sitting near a fire, drinking vodka.

 

I came to a scrapyard where "Freedom" guys was shooting bandits.

 

Near a lake, I saw two bandits with my scope, the one was dead and the other was sitting, playing a sad melody on his brown guitar.

For some reason I felt bad for this guy.

 

Now bandits are neutral to me. They can be good anough some times.

 

I killed "Scarecrow" wich was the earlier number 1# Stalker.

His fellas now respect me ^^

 

Near a border "Freedom" guys is struggling to keep off "Monolith" from attacking.

 

I traveled to the zombie zone where I got some tasks from a "Scientist" in an "anti-radiation / anti-zombie penetration bunker"

 

On the way out a zombified bandit is laying on the road squirtin around,

I finished him and moved towards the road to Chernobyl.

*all this is the reason why I love this game.

It actually have multiple endings though it in some way doesnt has any ending.
