My nephew who liked the first two craps quite a bit said the last part of the full game is shit. It's to other Stalkers what SoZ is to NWN2 OC. Aka a failed attempt at sandbox without any motivation and reason to play it.
And from what I saw myself the area design is terribad. Many areas are just empty deserts with stuff thrown in here and there at random.
This isn't surprising though from a piece of poo that was only 8 months in development.

SKYWAY IS RIGHT! There should be fuckloads of doodz for u to mow down with ur AK47!

Fuck off you imbecile.

 

[MetalCraze]

But there are fuckloads of ever respawning doodz. ZOMG move to RPG Discussion NOW plz

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

It's okay, i know it's not your fault... It's those damn zone mutations you're suffering from.

I liked the rusty dirtied look of the original STALKER, which is why I was dubiously surprised by the colourful, vibrant look of the second game, which felt inappropriate.

Sequel expectations, sequel expectations...

I heard there's much less people than in SoC.

'sides, playing STALKER without mods is like playing Oblivion without mods

And interestingly, we still talk about STALKER and Oblivion three years after their release, much like we do with NWN2.

Makes you feel like nothing ever changes.

COP is good. There's much less pointless shootery (all the factions are friends, very little respawning), stealth works, nights are dark and scary, etc.

We never talk about STALKER.

Getting rave reviews from users even though they're using a Google translation, looking forward it personally.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

It's a shame that it won't be out until Q1 2010. I was quite looking forward to playing it this year.

The Google translation is not the official one, obviously. The EU/US version comes out next year

 

[Gerrard]

It has a slideshow ending depending on your actions.

10/10

Then Lost Alpha will be released before new Stalker game if dezodor team won't have any problems. Can't wait.

I always have something...special for the likes of you.

get ready for DX11 man. Im going to replace my 8800GT with a DX11 card after christmas when those prices have gone way the fuck down.

I haven't even experienced DX10 yet though because I never moved on from XP.

DX11 most certainly has no XP compatibility either, eh?

Oh well as long as I can still play it on XP without the new fancy features.

 

[Tails]

Aren't there some hacked DX10 for Win XP?

 

[JarlFrank]

Yeah but I never bothered because I only recently bought a DX10-capable graffix card.

I know, I'll probably give in to windows 7 or something by that time

there was not enough change from DX9 to 10, at least in the games I've played, for me to bother with vista.
