The DarkSlayer Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Bought Call of Pripyat for 3 bucks from a local game shop 3 days ago. Haven't had time to play it, been too busy with university stuff lol . I'm thinking of buying the other 2 as well when I get the time. Anybody a fan here?
polluxval Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 --------- i can only say i love the trilogy. go for the other 2 games if possible, they are cheap and will grant a lot of hours of entertaining and fear.
The DarkSlayer Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 I'm definitely going back and get the other 2 then. Looking forward immersing myself in the series.
polluxval Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Don't forget to DL the Complete mod series. yeah. marky is correct: http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009
Call me Mark Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 HAHA I was introduced to the series a month ago and man I tell ya this game is the SHIT! (The good kind haha).
The DarkSlayer Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Woah, I didn't expect it to be moddable I'm going to enjoy my summer break
Strelky Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I could never really into this game, it has great atmosphere and potential, but the gameplay never made it for me
HanPL Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 O men I just love the Stalker Series. I remember after playing stalker call of pripyat for the first time atmosphere in this game was just magic. Rainy night in zona few guys around the camp one playing song on guitar....Never gonna forget that.
Remy Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I never liked fps games...but stalker is the only one that i absolutely loved....dat atmosphere. I still remember shitting myself over a bloodsucker the first time i met it...at night...in a building...with a flashlight on, jumped right into my screen...good times, good times.
Jerbsinator Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I've never played Clear Sky but Shadow of Chernobyl and Pripyat are both awesome games. Make sure you get STALKER Complete mod for the first game. And ya your first introduction to the bloodsuckers is NOT COOL."Lets introduce the player to an invisible enemy that melees you to death, put the first encounter with this creature in a dark, claustrophobic factory and then laugh maniacally. Also, just to be an asshole, lets throw a telekinetic monster in the end that totally fucks you up and walks towards you slowly like it knows it doesn't need to hurry to fuck your shit up."
ChancellorKremlin Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Man, Stalker was just effing amazing. What a game! Atmosphere was just superb. That's how DARK is supposed to be. Dare say it even beats FO1, and that is quite a feat! Especially... (spoilers ahead!) The first time I entered this bunker, and there was a unique monster there that was invisible and messed with your mind. I died the first time I saw it, and didn't even realise it had killed me, my screen went blurry like I was going insane and I was dead the next moment. Along the same path, another bunker deep beneath a warehouse or something, and you think its empty until boxes start flying at random, and its TOTALLY dark... there's again, some invisible spirit monster things in there.... not to mention the forest, which I went into before I was supposed to, only to be chased down by imaginary nightmare dogs, that actually kill you... man what a game!

Yeah, you just see a pair of glowing balls(eyes) running arround in the dark frantically, they dissapear and suddenly its right before you...made me jump out of my chair a few times. I havent played many fps, because as i said i dont like fps games and from the trailers i usualy see, they are always full of shiny boom that shiny boom this, liters of blood...but stalker is pure atmosphere, i think thats why i loved it so much. I remember playing SoC with a few mods, but cant remember if the complete mod was part of them...i guess i should recheck.
Ichabod Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Love the STALKER games. Been back to them many times.... although I would not bother with Clear Sky. Just my tuppence that. Depends how cheap you can get it. Something about that decayed USSR architecture that makes it all the more spine chilling.
The DarkSlayer Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Looks like a lot of people here gave good experiences with the series. My expectections are through the roof now lol
Astaroth-Lite Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Oh dear. I keep forgetting that I have Clear Sky. Pretty much everyone tells me the other games in the series are better, which is good. I don't have a problem with what I have played of it so far, I just don't seem to have the motivation to play through it further.
Nonsense667 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 All I've ever played is Shadow of Chernobyl, but damn did I play the fuck out of it. XD Like others, I'll go ahead and recommend the stalker complete mod. Really does make it top notch. But, what I did do, after beating the game once, is switch over to the "Super mod pack" for it. http://www.moddb.com/mods/super-mod-pack Unfortunately, even though they haven't actually said it's dead... it's dead. At least it seems to be. Shame really. Hoped so much for 2.5 to be released always seemed like it was right around the corner. But still, 2.4 adds a fuck ton to the game, if you just want to fuck around in a Russian apocalyptic wasteland! Guns, driving, choosing your faction, all sorts of stuff.
Ichabod Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 "I keep forgetting that I have Clear Sky. Pretty much everyone tells me the other games in the series are better,..." Much better. Call of Pripyat is probably the best IMHO but the original is awesome as well.
HanPL Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Damm after all this talking I really would like to launch call of pripyat again Probably tons of mods already came out so this would be like playing new game in stalker series.
Jerbsinator Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I don't remember what this mod was called but it was for Pripyat and it was basically one of those overhaul mods, makes you slower (soda / pop gives you a boost), less ammo, stronger enemies, radiation more deadly, etc and it really added to the game. It was a lot harder but that made it a lot scarier and in turn a lot more fun to be had. I will have to find that again sometime. Hahaha this just reminded me, when I bought STALKER 1, I had no idea about this series, I saw it on Steam...for $2.50. Yes that is right, 2 dollars and 50 cents. I bought it thinking "What the hell it's $2 fucking dollars I pay that for supper everyday.". Little did I know this would probably be the best $2.50 I ever spent. Amazing games all around, kicks the SHIT out of Fallout 3 in every way.
Call me Mark Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 $2.50 for this awesome game!? It's a crime I tell ya! I would have gladly paid a hundred bucks for this effing game HAHA.
polluxval Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 $2.50 for this awesome game!? It's a crime I tell ya! I would have gladly paid a hundred bucks for this effing game HAHA. yeh. its a shame there wont be anymore STALKER games. but atleast we will have a mmo with some of similar stuff and another name.
The DarkSlayer Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Finally got around to play it and I must say I'm really enjoying it. Oh and the bloodsucker everybody keeps mentioning, it killed me like a dozen times lol

Oh and the bloodsucker everybody keeps mentioning, it killed me like a dozen times lol Dont worry there will be more, if i remember good there is a quest where you have to root out their nest....

The DarkSlayer Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Oh the one where you should use some poison gas? I think I'll pass it for a while lol I just experienced the whole emmision thing, I was panicking like crazy luckily I managed to reach a safehouse
