STALKER: "Genre-redefining"
So...I LOVE IT!!!
Ok. it has bugs (what doesn't these days...?). It might lack some things that had clearly been thought into the game when being designed (not just vehicles...).
Other than that...i love it! When the modders get to it...EVEN MORE!! YEEHAA!! Now I actually have a reason to install Boot camp and windows on my mac (since i got 3D Studio Max to work in parallels).
This shit rules. ÜberBää has spoken.

It's 40USD, Suse. If you can afford a trip to the Carribbean I'm sure you can part with forty big ones. Whatever that comes out to in your silly Canadian currency.

Bah, I ain't throwing any money out for video games anymore, it's so easy to get 'em for free now. And I can't get this feeling of getting ripped off my money out of myself anymore.
A few years ago, you still had the feeling that some games were like... someone's dream, that secretly grew into a game concept and then developped into a full game and polished until near perfection, in order for the specific dreamer to be proud of it; like a real and authentic artist. But that's long gone.
I'll just wait 1-2 more days for my (other)download to finish.

I somehow have similar feelings, but now that I played Stalker, I will probably buy it. Nowtimes I never buy any game without actually playing it a bit. There so much hyped crap out there that it just doesn't cut it.

I bought it on the day it came out, not because I knew it was going to be great or anything, but because I hate seeing developers that put their heart into a game disappear into the void after releasing it.
Edit: And I'm glad I did. Even though a lot of things are missing, it's still one hell of a game.

I suggest you watch Stalker (movie). It's pretty obvious where the developers got their inspiration from. It's quite a movie anomaly(lolz) but there's something picturesque that grabs you that I can't really explain. :monolith:
Anyone of you Swedes on this forum seen this movie? Is it worth acquiring?

From the day of the genesis of this project, my supposition was that this game would be based on said film. Perhaps, even an adaptation of it.VasikkA wrote:I suggest you watch Stalker (movie).

Sadly and fortunately, this is not the case, as the game is - all bugs and other technicalities aside - truly bland, a real disappointment and would have disgraced the film.
Tactless. All Tarkovsky films are worth acquiring. It is dogma.Is it worth acquiring?
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
Well, it'd be quite hard to adapt the feeling of the movie to a commercial game. Perhaps to an adventure game. There are, however, number of things that reminded me of the movie, not just the setting and scenery. Like the distortions you got in Yantar(the psi shit) turning the colors into something similar that was in the beginning and closure of the movie. But yeah, it's an action game so what would you expect? You gotta have 'em mutants for the kiddies. It's a bit like what Fallout 3 is going to do to the Fallout setting.Alexander wrote:From the day of the genesis of this project, my supposition was that this game would be based on said film.

Actually, the atmosphere would've been closer to the movie if the gameworld wasn't so fucking overcrowded with people(mutants were rather uncommon). Fuck, an empty gameworld would've been much better. Another thing was the poor adaptation of anomalies; way too frequent, bland and harmless. In the movie they appeared to be very mysterious, almost only existing in your imagination.
Yeah, I'm intrigued now.Tactless. All Tarkovsky films are worth acquiring. It is dogma.
i donno, i saw solaris recently and it seemed pretty h®rrible, it was like a sloppily done, avant-pretentiousness version of 2001? what films by him are actually good? thancxksAlexander wrote:Tactless. All Tarkovsky films are worth acquiring. It is dogma.

The quest system in Stalker is quite horrible, it should of been completely redone. Also the map is pretty horrible too, actually the whole fucking interface is horrible.
Althought the enemy AI is good they are able to hit me with the same guns or worse from the same distance away a lot more easier than I can. I could have the enemy lined up perfectly and fire a whole clip with all single shots and then the guy would fall. The enemy can fire like a fuckin pistol and hit me with every shot so that I'm required to get cover.
