Yeah <a href="http://wasteland.duckandcover.cx/stalker/">STALKER online</a> are a good source, I'd believe them about these dragons. Megatron's a decent journalist as well, I'm just confused about these dragons. Maybe it's a new creature that he wasn't supposed to talk about until it was officially revealed?

I find myself unable to try to hurt Megatron's credibility by claiming that this is load of bullshit, so it has to be true!

fair enough. i guess Stalker Online must be deadly accurate, with such quotes as "The game is set in Latvia after World War II. The year is 1985, and you're a gunslinger called Bill Forrester " yeah right, the fact the game is set on 2012, in chernobyl/ukraine.
it doesn't particually bother me that you guys seem to be having a laugh, its just the fact the people who havn't heard much of stalker will be taken in with this crap etc

Dont joke with us friend, the chernobyl disaster happened on April 25th -26th, 1986.The game is set one year before so the player can play the tutorial.Why would the game take place in 2012... that's so stupid it's not even funny.

I dunno, I read another STALKER preview and they said it was in 2012. So I don't know, which is right?

It is in 2012. They said that there was a SECOND chernobyl explosion. I know this is a joke, so all I do is laugh at the first post. I don't care how many posts this guy has, but if any Dev team makes changes like that, they know their game is going to fail.

It's funny how megatron complains about lack of players in multiplayer when the game hasn't been released yet though.

Yawn.

Well.. uhm, you could just try to photoshop the "©2002" there, top right corner of the picture.

Other than that, I loved the review. Really cracked me up. Chromebyl... Latvia.. heheh.

I think you should do more of these reviews, they're good for a laugh.

Edit: Yes, indeed, I registered to bitch. Couldn't help myself.

Megatron wrote:Uh...yeah. Looks like someone can't accept that me and Olbov Konjev (the LEAD DEVELOPLER) are best buddies and he lent me the latest build of the game to review. I gave it a good review anyway, all the stuff with the dinosaurs and mutating your weapons to camouflage into your enviroment kicked ass!

Also the ex-soldier is actually an ex-soldier. I'm sorry if you don't believe me but I work at GSC and are best friends with everyone there and helped them code smoke and wind physics. If you don't believe me you'll just have to look on the staff photo. I'm the one with the muscles and bad ass haircut.
Ok, we'll ask GSC about you on their monthly Q and A

And then sue your ass

You're gonna feel pretty foolish when the game comes out and there's NOTHING but dragons and cyborgs.

Make your case then, friend. What are the charges, how do you intend to act upon these concerns, and what hope do you have in the face of whole flocks of top-notch lawyers that will be hired in the event you or your fellow bitches manage to scrape enough pocket money together to hire an insane, blind, barely hominid gimp of a law school flunky for your 'requirements', eh ?

'Tis simple, friend(s). You can't refute the overwhelming evidence to the contrary of your stance on this delicate issue. Where is your evidence ? You have none, you are nothing. Go away, leave us be. We're a local forum and you're not local, you're bitches. We'll have no trouble here ! :drunk:

Indeed, TLoG are grand. So grand in fact, that I enjoy bastardising their work as frequently and as surreptitiously possible. And you ? :drunk:
