Another STALKER preview

[Mr. Teatime]

<strong>[ -> Preview]</strong>

There's another <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/541/541488p1 ... preview</a> of <a href="http://www.stalker-game.com/">STALKER</a> on <a href="http://pc.ign.com/">IGN</a>. This time it's a hands-on one:
<br>
<br><blockquote>Even though S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a first-person shooter, it contains a lot of role-playing elements similar to Deus Ex. In addition to the aforementioned dialogue trees, you can also expect a few basic stats such as health, radioactivity, food and endurance. Health is pretty understandable since it's in every shooter. Get shot, lose health. Radioactivity is similar. If you absorb too much radiation in affected areas, you'll get sick and eventually die. Food and endurance are a little bit different. You'll have to rest and eat occasionally in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and if you don't find a safe place to bed down, expect to be attacked in the middle of your slumber. </blockquote>
<br>
<br>It's an interesting read.

Deus Ex this, Deus Ex that, somebody give those monkeys a banana! SS2 owned DX totally, had more RPG elements, and even 'perks', classes, PSI, and...

Huh? STALKER? Err, ummm, so, what'sthereleasedate?

Stalker rocks, but those are just some meters, not really 'role-playing elements'.

But you must remember, this is IGN.
