Well, i only saved the scientist from this chapter, so i just save all the saveable scientist.
So I got STALKER: Call of Pripyat today and while I was stalking around the center of the zone the following happened.
So first mission is to check out the crashed helicopters so I’m like cool, easy, closest one is far west in a radioactive swamp, easy enough, circle round the back and go up to it, simple.
I’m heading back to the first camp I found in an old shipwreck when I see a bloodsucker, first thing I have to fight in the entire game is one of the hardest things to kill, awesome.
So I’m sitting atop a hill taking pot shots at this thing, when he starts to circle round and block the path I was heading, I’m nearly out of ammo when some fag on the radio is like ‘Emission soon stalker, lulz, find cover’.
I’m in the middle of fucking no where, ages away from anything I can hide in with a pissed off bloodsucker in front of me and a fucking emission behind me.
Fucking fantastic.
I hit up the PDA and see there is a shipwreck due east, a distance away, but no bloodsuckers in the way, so I sprint my arse off in the direction, consuming 4 energy drinks to get there, I hide inside and think thank fuck for that, though, while I was sprinting, ignoring everything, a bunch of blind dogs ‘saw’ me and gave chase, so now there is an army of dogs swamping this shipwreck, not only that a couple of neutral bandits thought they would hide here too, so now there are dogs and bandits going for it in the lower section of the shipwreck.
I look out the side of the wreck and see this.
Then I turn towards the south and see the fucking huge emission heading for me.
So I find a better spot in the ship and take the following pics.
When I start taking damage I leg into the middle of the ship and hide.
When its over I pop out and see this.
Then I go to the bottom part of the wreck and find like 10 dead bandits and 20 dead dogs on the ground, not a single one survived the battle/emission and I lol’d.
That was a cool story… And I mean it!
So, I started Oblivion up once again…
One of my first fights outside of the sewers you start in, was…
A CRAB BATTLE
There was a book I need to get, but I had no money. Time for some sneaking…
Impressive bridge is impressive.
Cosy inn is cosy (notice the lit-up windows and the smoke coming out of the chimney).
Oh wait, guess it’s not that cosy.
SCORE!
A challenger approaches!
A challenger DEAD approaches! In the nude! Also a wolf.
Here’s a pretty set of waterfalls. I promptly fell down while looking at it and spent ages trying to get out of the little valley.
My horse is pulling a silly horse face and levitating. Pretty crazy.
BUT IT WILL GET SLIGHTLY CRAZIER!
^^ I loved shivering isles, so much fun when you can just shout “FREEZE” and make everybody shut up.
Seems like Stalker is a pretty fucking fun game.
It’s fun is the way so much can happen and how there is a chance that no two people wil experience the same thing.
Plus, its also balls to the wall hard, like, think HL2, but with health and weapon damage reversed for you and the enemy.
You die after getting shot in the toe twice and the enemy can take a clip to the face and still put on his coolface.jpg
I remember my first STALKER death experience. I was scouting the perimeter of that first bandit establishment, and I went around the corner and ate a shotgun-to-the-face.
Then thirty seconds later a dog came over and dragged my corpse from the building.
Anyway, I’ve begun playing the most unorthodox colour.
That’s me on the left, and the AI foolishly rushing:
And believe it or not, thanks to a small modification, 15 out of my 15 paratroopers survived this onslaught:
Infantry were given half of their normal health, the ability to regenerate, and were able to escape 75% of damage once they go prone. By standing my ground, and keeping my men close together, they were able to heal faster than the dying enemy was able to shoot them. (You see, when one square of infantry gets hit by bullets, almost all of the soldiers in it will go prone. Oh, and the nuke helped thin them out a bit too!)
Is Oblivion really that fun? Cuz I don’t want to get it for nothing…
I love the humor in Strider Mountain
Aaaah, the Combine sleep with strider pillows
WTF are they doing to Barney?!?
Seeing this kind of ruined the awesomeness of the sniper rifle, but I still lol’d
YEs oblivion is well worth the £25, I would recommend getting it on console though as it is poorly optimised for the computer.
For some reason the AI decided to become complete idiots and dance around in the corner of a safe room. :mono:
Yeah, the AI can be pretty stupid.
And ths part annoyed me like hell:
They stayed like that for 2 minutes. Then when I was about to finally die, they came and revived me. :meh:
Do not listen to this person.
Oblivion is well worth the money, but get it for the PC. I’ve played through it on both (my little brother had it for the 360), and while it’s a fantastic game with a very immersive world and a fucktonne of quests, it has flaws by the bucket full. For this reason, you need to get it for the PC because of the mods you can get. Not just to correct these flaws, but also to just generally improve or add to the game.
Also, I made the Half-Life 2 characters in The Sims 3. Sorry for the lighting, idk why it’s that dark.
P.S. It is very hard to make it look exactly like them.
Lights?
There on, so I have no idea how that happened. :fffuuu:
Continuing with my Shivering Isles adventures…
So there was this crazy chick and a guard who was all “ZOMG ders a door dun go its nut cool” but I was like no and then there was this guy in the door who was all “oh hai cum in its crazee but its kool” so I was like okay and the room dissolved into butterflies and it was all “whoaaaa”…
What a… Er… Nice town…
Oh look, a crack ho who also works as a bar tender.
Hey, at least the fog means you see less of the fugly town.
So I did this quest and killed this giant thing with a fuckoff sword for a hand, and now I have to go through this imposing piece of masonry…
Ah, Shivering Isles. It may be crazy, but it still has beer.
On my way to the capital of Shivering Isles, New Sheoth, and I’m heading there through Dementia, the really jolly part of the Isles…
“Hey, you’d do better at seducing if you didn’t look like a demon-smurf.”
This is Crucible, the Dementia half of New Sheoth. Another gem. Is… Is that sewage I’m standing in?
I’m with you there, man. Fribble.
This place is pretty welcoming.
This is Bliss, the Mania half of New Sheoth. Hey, look, the sky is made of sherbet!
Ah, these Shivering Isles guys still have good taste in literature, even if they are up to their necks in Fribble.
Hey, they have Dr Seuss here!
Nice place, Sheogorath!
I… Erm… Thanks?
This guy has no trousers.
