Got it a week ago as a form of payment from a job well done. I have not played it that much but just a sort of testing just to see how good it looks. With standard lightings + AA & AF everything looks fantastic. With HDR it looks even better but will turn off AA for my system it really needs a beefy video card & a beefy system all in all. In short I won't be playing it 'till I upgrade.

Everyone that I know who has played it loves it! It has RPG elements like BF2142 (Upgrading Weapons) And from what I was told, is a Sandbox game. I think I'll check out a Demo first just to be sure...

I have Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl. It is a great game. Kind of like FPS "Oblivion" but with much less RPG element added to it (no stats that could be customized). It is possible to change stats by wearing different armor and artifacts. Also the game has a ton of weapons, but since it is only possible to carry 50 Kg, it becomes necessary to pick what you like and stick with it. The game is very beautiful and it gives a sense of disturbance. Another cool aspect about the game is that it is hard, really hard even on normal mode. As you will soon find out taking cover and constantly being on a move is the only way to stay alive in any gunfire. Example: At the very start of the game i did a few jobs for a guy and then as i was traveling i saw a military outpost under a bridge (blocking the way to anyone). So i believing that i have a great talent in FPS games, decided to take the outpost out, There were about 10 guys. Well withing next 20 seconds i was dead. Later on when i got a better armor and an AK 47 i went on top of the bridge dropped a couple of grenades and barely managed to kill everyone (they did not really know where i was so a group of them went looking into near by ruins and i shot them in the back....dirty but i stayed alive). The game is a great free exploration FPS. The only thing that i do not like atm is the lose story line. I know i need to find this one guy to return my memories, but thats about it. After hours spent in the zone my main objectives become forgotten.
The last thing i got to say is that this game can be scary. During one mission i went underground to look for something. There were bunch of other military guys investigating, blah i killed them all. And then there i am walking and dang i bloodsucker starts attacking me. That thing scared me so much /cry. P.S bloodsucker are invisible and only appear when they are being shot or are attacking. Plus this was the first one that ever attacked me /cry = heart attack.


The game has everything for different FPS players. It can be played stealth style, run and gun (prepare to use a lot of med kits [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]), sniper (also in the underground you will not snipe much) and whatever else.

Plus you ll get a laugh from the jokes that other stalkers tell if you understand Russian. Yey me.

go to the gsc forum and you'll find over 6000 posts in the "single player bug forum"...i've personally never seen any thing like it. the game appears to be sooooo poorly coded that it will not run on an unacceptably high percentage of machines.

the game was something to behold (Back in 2001) when it first surfaced, unfortuantely the only thing leading edge about the game today is the number of inherent bugs. the worst thing about the whole fiasco is the complete lack of support from both the developer (gsc) and the publisher (thq). two miniscule patches have been put out, neither of which fixed anything of merit...i am not suprised one bit that chernobyl actually blew up based on my experience with these losers

and still no patch to correct these problems. The game has a lot of potential but not in its current state.

I really was frustrated by the multiple endings part, miss one thing early on in the game and your stuck with the wrong ending. Personally I don't care for that kind of gameplay.

reminds me of Silent Hill 2, have to play it 8 times to get all five endings right.
