STALKER Mega-Thread; Clear Skies are Coming!
- Thread starter ForgottenHero
- Start date
Just what? Not good? I think I'll get it on Amazon as my local shops are notorious for not carrying FPS's that I'm interested in.

The Eurogame review didn't mention any of this, so I guess they were running on XP.

Wow...I'm salivating now. The main bad part mentioned was how you are sometimes unaware you are on a mission but eh, I'm betting they will fix that in a patch. So those military Stalkers are real hostile toward loners it seems: http://www.oblivion-lost.de/index.php?zone=design2〈=en&page=static&static_page=npc
Cool, I plan on harvesting some quality gear from them then, hehe. I can't wait to "fight the power". It seems I'll be making alot of longrange headshots (or wherever they have weak points,..I'll find them/get them somehow) from concealed positions, I'm ready. Also I thought I heard you can store excess gear wherever and come get it later when you need it. Is that true?

Ah cool. So it seems you can store stuff wherever then put a "placemark" on the PDA so you don't forget where.

Yeah, could be..but I'm not sure.
Maybe he just goes there to steal some stuff.
But that's almost the same as an equipment-stash, lol.
Btw, I cancelled SH4 yesterday, and put STALKER back on pre-order. Should have it on Friday.

Now the game just needs better sounds. And new animations. And probably a better UI for the PDA.

There are two sides, on one side I love it on the other side I hate it.
The atmosphere is very good, especcially in canalisation or places like that(engaging the first blood****er & controller was great). But then again ... first off, it runs like ****. Currently I'm running it on Minimum settings & 800x600, and even there is still doesn't run very good(I'd say 30fps on average). Sure my pc is rather old(radeon 9800 pro, 1gig ram, athlon 2600+) but I'd still expect it to run good on 1024x768 and low settings. Then there's the lack of ragdolls(at least it seems so) which makes everything seem rather unrealistic, especcially as most animations ****. You can hardly notice if you hit someone and at least to me it seems that all weapons are extremely unaccurate, even on semi-fire, while the enemies always hit you.

Weapon-inaccuracy might not be the right word?
In the early game, many enemies have much better body-armour than you have yourself.
Go for headshots.
It might also be of interest, that the Devs intend to make the engine fully accessible for modders.

Set lighting to static and then crank everything to max on your graphics card + ingame big performance boost and looks good.

Is there an option to play with no cross a la ro? And if so, do you use it? (be honest )

Could try it out for a few hours.
Quite nice and atmospheric, but I have yet to encounter a weapon that does hit where you aim (over ironsights).
And silenced weapons are quite useless, as you can't sneak up on enemies anyway.
And finally, the weapons really do feel weak. Headshots are instakills, but even in close range, hitting the head of someone is luck, due to the very inaccurate weapons.

The guns though, ****, whoever the hell said it wasn't like in that video I posted earlier is a dirty lying scumbag. I will be looking out for a damage mod

Now try shooting at the patrol soldiers to the right of the village where you start. Run away and when the fun part starts, flank them and kill all of those soldiers with silenced pistol. The joy!

As far as I know (getting the game tomorrow), you can disable the crosshair, but loose ID-ability.Is there an option to play with no cross a la ro? And if so, do you use it? (be honest
P.s.
A buddy found a userfile, and turned 'always run' off, this makes the constant head bobbing effect go away unless running, which makes the game all the more enjoyable.
He's running on Vista, so on XP, the file might be in another folder (maybe in MyDocuments?).
