the game is unique but feels stripped, it's buggy too short and stuff like that artifacts is littering the place ruins it. another thing that i was disappointed with was how you never get to see any new equipment you cant yet get, it's so important in a game like this that you have to work to afford better/new stuff and cant find everything you need just by looting the enemys

Game is buggy that is correct, but did you play on Master level, i had problems with ammunition for a double barrel shotgun, not mentioning about getting a better armour. But the second thing I just find out that i can brake those small containers, and their usually full of ammo and food

You mean those little suitcase type things... how did you break them? shoot or knife?

i guess you ppl just got owned in the last patch
It erases all your savegames

But great game, would buy it if it wasn't for C&C3 coming out at the same time (playing c&c3 now)

Can we get some in game screen shots ....thinking of buying but reading this thread might have to "get hold "of a copy first to see if it is as bad as you it seems to be

Chernobyl was a proper let down. 21 years on and no superheroes.

The ending was a major disappointment, i also dont like that you only get the exo skeleton right at the end, where you cant even frigging use it because it doesnt have enough Rad protection.

Bah, that ending isn't one of the 'true' endings. None of the endings involving that particular object are considered the real endings.

Sounds cool. Reckon it's too soon though? I doubt people who had frineds and family in Chernobyl will appreciate them being brought back to life as mutants and zombies.

Sounds kind of like F.E.A.R, I wonder if it's trying to grab some of its popularity. Good concept though. Looking forward to it.

yeah they were working on this game like two years ago before fear came out I remember reading about it.

not anything like a fps game should be

It was never supposed to be fps . It's first person rpg which take place in post-nuclear disaster enviroment .

It looks like fps , but it isn't mate It's more like Fallout , not some FEAR or FarCry...atleast the key idea of the project was\is\will be

Oh no, i went and bought wow, only with guns

RPG game doesn't mean you have to kill ton of mobs to take level up . They are wrong rpg's that were made to force players' addiction so they will buy new game content , ingame stuff and so on ... there are no skills\levels in Stalker . Maybe I lack english to explain what kind of game it is It was supposed to take best from fps & rpg

I find it's best if you take your time and emerse yourself in the world. Instead of following the worn dusty trail of the storyline try helping out on raids or defending Stalker camps from bandit raids. It's great, I've helped the Duty guys attack the Freedom guys and the Freedom guys defend from the Monoliths and I just stopped a Mercenary raid of the nublet camp.

That Duty raid was sweet, all I had to do was take out the perimeter Sniper and they were happy with me, (I declined to join them on their suicide mission.) After that I rushed into the Freedom base to warn them of the imminant attack. Since the Freedom guys were alert and ready the Duty raid was wiped out so I managed to get my paws on some sweet weapons. Best of all I'm still favourable with both sides. Manipulation, you've gotta love it, I've only killed one neutral Stalker so far and that was only to see if I could. Ihe rest of the time I get others to do my dirty work.
Oh and I did wipe out that group at the Pig Farm. That joker who stole my money pissed me off. At first I was just going to kill one of them to prove my point, but then they got shitty at me . Such a waste, but after getting out of the underground lab I did need the ammunition I took from their bodies, plus that silenced Viper SMG I took from them was a nice addition to my stash.

I havn't patched because I don't want to loose my game, but does the patch help with the lagginess a bit? I've found a few bugs too, in the first underground you get to a couple of Army blokes spawned in front of me which I didn't appreciate but you can deal with stiuff like that. For now anyway.

One day I'll finish it maybe, but I'm enjoying doing my own thing.
