STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl

Red October1984 · 02-23-13, 05:18 PM

Anybody here play any of the STALKER games? These have had my interest for a while but I never did seriously think about ordering one.

Shadow of Chernobyl seems like a good place to start.

What are your thoughts?

Buy them just go and spend you money now!

- the stalker series is one of those classic games you'll keep coming back too ,(except possiblly clear sky i didn't rally like it as much as SOC or COP),I've had SOC on my machine since it was released and that 2 new systems and numerous reinstalls.

The thing that really makes the series different is it's not a western shooter ,it's eastern euro Ukrainian/Russian so you get a completely different vibe in the game than your used to in most shooters.The Zone itself is a truly creepy place the feeling of abandonment and desolation really comes through.

The spooky atmosphere that could have been there gets spoiled by to shallow and too insane shooting action. It's also not the open world one could expect when reading the advertisement, it is relatively small mission-based maps. I found the whole thing pretty much disappointing when I tried it out. It did not survive for long on my HD.

I think I might get SOC and see if I like it.

I like Post-Apocalyptic stuff and a shooter in Chernobyl sounds awesome. I've also been thinking about Metro 2033. It looks similar and it's about the same price.

Metro 2033 is definitely worth if you like the post apoc type games ,it's also got a great story to go with the game as well

Any game that let's you kill neo-Nazis is worth buying
