I want a game that is like STALKER. That is open worlded like rpg's but uses guns and stuff, not elder scrolls, and you can do what you want like in stalker and you dont have to follow te game story if you dont want!
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Battlefield 2 and get Garrys mod, if you like zombie games aswell as other free game modes then you will love it for $10 if you already have hl2 of course.
oh and i agree GTA san andreas has a MP mod so i would go with that.. the online mode always has hundreds of ppl playing.
the most similar would probably be Dues ex.cobrax25
Yeah, I agree, Deus Ex rules. Huge freeform levels, sci-fi setting, rpg-style exp points and skills, weapons you can modify, and it's probably really cheap by now. :)
Oh, but don't get the the second Deus Ex game, as it totally sucked.
And you can't really count this as "open world" because it's almost entirely set on two spaceships, but I'd also consider System Shock 2.
Almost nothing mentioned so far is really what you're looking for, I'd say - but Boiling Point is pretty close to what you're looking for. It's actually more open-world and non-linear than S.T.A.L.K.E.R, but the gunplay is awful. It's not a bad game, but it's certainly not a good game.
There aren't a ton of open-world, non-linear FPS games out right now, but three in development I can think of are S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky, White Gold and Far Cry 2.
Crysis isnt non linear. you could get to a target any way you want to. there is no right or wrong way in doing anything in crysis.Jd1680a
Crysis is non linear, it just isn't a free roaming game, and Gun is also good
You'll find that most FPS games are linear. Some games give the illusion of being non linear because they offer multiple paths to your opjective, but you're still tied to the objective though.
I would suggest going for something like Deus Ex or wait for something like Far Cry2.
In the end it all depends on whether you want it to feel "freeform" or whether you want true freeformity.
But saying that all games have some form of linearity to them, otherwise there would never be an end to them. The only games which TRULY lack an end are Godsims like The Sims2, Singles (Sth Rude version of Sims2) and the ilk.
Deus Ex while feeling freeform is more whats called Multiple route. All the routes cross over at keypoints in the game, the "routes" you take merely affect the outcome.
Stalker is completely freeform, (the developers were adamant it should be) but still has a quest line that is linear that leads to the end of the game.
GTA San Andreas is freeform too, and even allows you to continue after completion - but you said you hate GTA.
The only other ones I can think of are Left For Dead, when it comes out and I heard of a game (cant remember the title sorry, was in March Issue this year of PCGamer) where it is pretty much ES:oblivion with Scifi suits and weapons etc.

Oh yes, Boiling Point, talk about a game that had some serious potential! I did actually find myself enjoying parts of the game though ;) and the gunplay was not one of them.
OP, there's a summary of BP here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25442766&page=0
I'm hoping White Gold is the game that Boiling Point could have been, it certainly looks like it could be:

You might be thinking of Fallout 3? By the same developers as TES4: Oblivion.

Yup! How can I forget that name?! -_-8 but like the dude said earlier if you can barely run STALKER, theres no chance at Crysis, and depending on how well Bethseda optimise Fallout 3 its likely that wont run either. But hot damn! I just want to see the Fallout Shelters and the traps inside WHOO!
In today's breaking news - An archeologist has uncovered a derelict gamespot thread that traces its origin back to early 2008. Experts believe the discovery will shed light on understanding the consumer behaviour in the months leading up to the greatest economic crisis of the century.

*Cough* Graphics whore *Cough*.gta , saints row, stalker: clear sky are the only ones I can think of. There really needs to be more non-linear rpg-like fps games out there.NEOSPARKINGAre you serious? Those games aren't even comparable to STALKER..meaning there more like 3rd person shooting games, so GTA and Saints Row should definitely NOT be compared as something "Like STALKERr" because there not.
OP should DEFINITLY check out DEUS EX!!!!!!!!!!
theres no way you can not like that game. And dont play like 10 min and say it sucked, give it a chance, play it for a few days. it didnt win GOTY for nothing, and have a huge fanbase.

Dude, the person won't even notice this post anymore.... You just revived a year old thread
Ahh nice necromancy here, but hey even better I dont have to resurrect this thread...
So its May 2010, has anyone found any good fps similar to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC, or CS (ahh CoP was rather, well crap imo)?
I agree that their environment and atmosphere cannot be copied but the free-roaming, tons of guns feeling definitely can.(please dont recommend Far[t] Cry2 as its the most repetitive, boring game I`ve ever played-but also the most beautifully rendered...)
So is there any good one out there?
[QUOTE="klaytonix"]So Fallout 3 doesn't fit the bill? Also, what about Borderlands?dakan45Those 2 with far cry 2 are considered better than the stalker series by me in terms of open world fps with exploration. Far Cry 2 i liked very much but i liked Stalker more. Fallout 3 just sucked. Borderlands haven't played yet.

Far Cry 2 i liked very much but i liked Stalker more. Fallout 3 just sucked. Borderlands haven't played yet. Why falout 3 sucked? Far cry 2 could learn from that game in terms of explorations and missions. Borderlands is like a diablo leveling up rpg with smal regions that you open boxes and get loot.
Same here as I said FC2 looked brilliant, the AI conversation is one of a kind, good (**** buy and selling system though)but its main and probably only problem is the repetitiveness,and that when u cleared a roadblock or checkpoint literally one minute later bad guys would respawn, whoever played and finished it must know exactly what I am talkin about.
Fallout3 was a funny game but thats all, nothing extraordinary, finished the game, enjoyed it but would not play it ever again as the shooting-weapon system is unrealistic.
Borderland-never played it, I am just reading the review(not so much by GS but by yous ladies and gentlemen as your review are always closer to the actual quality of the game-except the few radical ones)
