it's more greyscale, drab and monotonous than a gears of war screenshot

walking through the STALKER landscapes i wasn't struck with awe or being impressed, at all... it was just boring-boring-boring, all the way to the horizon.

That's one weather cycle out of dozens. It's not what the entire game looks like.

And the fact you were thrown into the whole 'wasteland' with little to no tutorial, the controls are clunky, movement is awful, aiming is abysmal, and the whole game is just boring.

Waste of ratio.

But hey, at least you mentioned the gameplay, which was something I was going to ask about.

Hey, I haven't mentioned pirating in a while now, I just wanted to express how little the games are worth to me

Gameplay is awful, as I mentioned above, and my graphics card was hitting 90C with 80% fan speed and it didn't even look good.

STALKER: COP has pretty impressive lightning effects in DX11 Full Dynamic Lightning setting. There is really sweet atmospheric mod for it that more than triples view distance, makes the sky look nice and add all kinds of additional effects. Combine that with high resolution texture pack and it looks pretty good.

Gameplay is very solid, story wasn't so great in the last 2 STALKER games, game engine runs like crap (single core support and limited ram support in todays game wtf),....

Lots of fun but they really need to fix the performance issues. It keeps loading shit off HDD all the time because it doesn't understand how to use necessary amount of ram to load everything at once.

Shadow of Chernobyl was best STALKER game imo.

Don't understand how movement and controls would be fucked, it is just like every other fps.

PS. It is your cards fault if it can't even handle 100% load properly...

Talking about your load temps.

They were actually quite surprising.

I've not yet met a game that can do that to my card, only burn tests get it that hot and fast fan.

You see one screenshot of a cloudy dark day and start rambling on about how the graphics engine is fundamentally flawed when you've played for all of 20 minutes

Finray you are me-too'ing uzique way too much

Dumping some more screenshots, haters can hate.

All you did was agree and just further re-iterate what he said. Give it up: you'll never be uzique, as hard as you might be trying.

No, actually, I didn't. I agreed with one of 5 points he brought up, and brought in my own, based less on graphics and more on the actual gameplay. Completely different from what he wrote...

Uzique: the game looks and plays like shit
Finray: "this." and the game plays like shit because of bla bla bla.

Yeah definitely an original thought there finny

I think what he was referring to by "plays like shit" is "doesn't work well on my hardware" less "is bad in gameplay".

And even if he did mean that, it's pretty all encompassing, for me to have been able to pass an opinion that was not Uziques, I would have had to say it was good, which is not how I feel.
