Thread for discussion of all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games because it’s good enough for /v/ and has enough critical acclaim to warrant its own thread, as well as technical support since the Ukrainians can’t make a game without a crippling amount of bugs.
Starting off, anybody else love it how Bug Trap creates more bugs and CTD’s than it actually solves? It blocks X-Ray.exe or whatever it’s called from running, preventing me from running the game.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was a masterpiece. There were some strange AI glitches, but overall the game was amazing. I haven’t played any of the others, are they worth it?
Yes, Call of Pripyat certainly is. I don’t have much criticism for it besides how needlessly difficult navigating some areas was and as with all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games it still has bug trap.
I played SoC for a little while but I don’t think I’ve gotten all that far. I’ve been meaning to go back and play it after seeing that one graph posted around here and after so many people say it’s awesome. I just bought the other two games, too.
:lol: Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. You actually give a shit about the opinion of people on 4chan. Cute.
playing it with lurk 1.1, having a good time
p.s. dias i bet you are ugly in internet
I remember when I first got it during a Steam sale; thought is was a clunky piece of crap. then I got a mod… natural mod or something, and it became one of the best games I have ever played.
that first controller in a tunnel still scares the shit outa me. :fffuuu:
I don’t know why anybody ever fights the thing, after my first play through I just drank a bit and ran down the tunnel as fast as I could.
Played all but Clear Sky, and they are awesome, awesome games. Can get really creepy in the bunkers, which are liberally applied to the main stories.
What mods do you guys suggest using for SoC? There are so many.
This time they were right.
Still, nobody’s answered my question about the Bug Trap.
Complete 2009 or Oblivion Lost.
The first few times I had no idea what the hell it was and the vision shifting made me think it was at the other end of the tunnel. Walking down there made me get out of its line of sight and when I found nothing I assumed it was some mutant scare-mongering rather than an actual enemy.
Same with the poltergeist; until I read a walkthrough I always assumed the ball of lighting was a moving anomoly.
I have no idea what a Bug Trap is…
I loved Shadows of Chernoble. It was some of the best level design in games today, with the way it just plunks you into a huge landscape and allows you free movement within it’s expansive confines. Yes, the fencing along the perimeter of each level was a bit silly, but you do have to have some limits.
I bought Clear Skies, but my SLI computer is borked and crashes after ten minutes of gameplay with modern 3d games. I only ever got to the second level in Clear Skies (not the marsh, the one after that, there was a church somewhere I think). It was fun enough while it was working, but I gave up on it until I can buy a new PC some day (which won’t be for a while with how much my cars costs)…
NO.[/SIZE]
are you misspelling the games on purpose?
stalker games are really really atmospheric, like every slavic produced game (metro2032023numbers, the void)
also really buggy and underpolished
they have that raw russian energy
STALKER games are awesome, but they lack that little thing…how’s it called again…oh yes! A story.
It has a semi story. Enough to keep me wondering whats going on, although I know it will never be explained well to me.
you are a guy and you go to ukraine
seriously what do you want from the game? a built story is the LEAST important part of the game in this case
you create your own story, thats at least half of the charm for me
It has a story, just not one that revolves around the player.
It has more of a situation. There is a confusing place. Find out what is going on.
