Are you hyped about S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Call of Pripyat.?

I am yes, not overly hyped but excited to see how it turns out. About bugs, Í think the devs said that they were experimenting too much with CS, and the QA team screwed them(and us) over as in didn't do their job, now they should have a new team testing it as well as more emphasis on the gameplay rather than graphics.

Meh.. its going to be buggy as hell anyway

I can confrim that the game has already been played through by a Russian guy, he didn't experience a lot of bugs, in fact, there weren't any gamebreaking bugs at all. That being said, lack of bugs can be explained by the fact that he didn't do a lot of sidequests. Anyway, point being is that it's already possible to beat the game, pretty impressive, huh? I'm sure there are going to be a patch or two by the time CoP is released in the western world.

I loved the first one...clear sky not so much. It really didn't feel like a new game and so much was recycled from the first. Is this going to be more like a true sequel? dnuggs40

Clear Sky was never meant to be a true sequel, it was a stand alone expansion pack, so is Call of Pripyat. A true sequel is going to be STALKER 2, which has been in development for some time as far as I know....sb87

I thought Clear Sky was supposed to be a prequel, not a sequel.

Yeah I love stalker games, but I really hope they "test it" before release... either way I love stalker games + mods rock

"since day one" not "sense day one"

LOL because i dont love all those games does that means i hate em? I liked far cry 2 for one, which most of you didnt, i also liked cod4 which most of you didnt, i also liked fallout 3,i actually liked doom 3 which most of you didnt, just diffirent tastes than you, thats all.dos4gw82

You claim you don't "hate" these games, but your first reaction is to spout negative, nit-picking observations about the game, and you rarely specify exactly what you like about the game in question. Worse weapon sounds? Turrets that don't explode? Please. It's obvious that you're stretching to find anything negative about the game, no matter how abstract and insignificant. You are either an extremely bad troll, or you don't know how to give your opinion without sounding like one. Here, I've fixed your original post:

I didn't exactly hate either game (*insert what you didn't hate about the games or even what you liked about the games here.*) but I found that Clear Sky was just too similar to Shadow of Chernobyl. It was a lot more buggy as well, and there were some things that I believe were done worse instead of being improved upon, such as (*Insert actually substantial and meaningful examples here.*) Crysis Warhead was too much like the original as well, though (*insert what you liked or didn't hate about the game here if anything*). I probably won't be purchasing Bioshock 2 if it is buggy or too much like Bioshock 1. dakan45

What is wrong with some of you people...this guy answered the question about whether or not he was excited about this new release by giving his opinion. Which was, he was not, and was very skeptical about problems like he had encountered before......All he got was attacked my a bunch of you calling him a troll who must not like any games at all so why even come here. And now you even have the nerve to explain to him how to go about making a rational discussion so as to not piss anybody off ?......well let me clue you in, he doesn't need any of your permission to post an opinion as long as he remains within the TOS of this forum.

Everyone here has a perfect right to agree or disagree with another person's opinion, but to flat out tell him he is wrong because you felt he did not express himself in a manor that was to your liking is way out of line....but this kind of thing goes on in here far to often....it's like sharks with blood in the water, waiting for someone to make a miscue and everyone piles on...it's pathetic.....:(

Getting back on topic...I personally hated STALKER (and I do agree with some of the opinions he posted why he disliked this game), and I really don't need to go into minute details why I didn't like it for your benefit or anyone else's because that's not what this thread is about, so there for I'm not at all stoked about this new installment either.

*+

I have only played the first one, but I recently just ordered the second one :D .

SoC was buggy, CS was buggy, how can this one not be buggy at release? I will get it but only after it patches 5-6 times and people can call it stable.

Nope, not really. Stalker isn't a bad game though.

Only games I hyped for is Guild Wars 2 and maybe Diablo III.

i have the first one, played 10 minutes of it then stopped :P I REALLY need to finish it!Dr_Brocoli

No. I think the STALKER games are overrated or atleast over praised.

hoola

Clear Sky looks dated? I beg to differ. It's a great looking game, especially in DX10.Bane_v2

Clear Sky looks better than ARMA 2...the scale of ARMA 2 is impressive though. Anyways, you mentioned a handful of games, which STALKER actually standing up with most of them. There is no denying STALKER is one of the most graphically impressive games out there...especially considering it's almost unparalleled lighting engine.dnuggs40

Agreed. Clear Sky, in my opinion, was the only game that was substantially improved by DirectX 10, and put the technology to good use.

To me it does look like this....

But it doesnt look like this, this screen looks fake to me, can you post this from a screenshot from your pc?

I dissagry arma 2 looks much better in shaders and texture quality, even character model quality i dare to say, less polygons, Sorry for not having dx10 and not being able to see the lighting but judging from a video i checked, cs use of dx10 is another crysis dx10 vista lie. The light effects looked the same with crysis to me. Seriously, stalker models and textures or shaders look close a bit worse than cryostasis, i think mirrors edge looks next gen but stalker looks last gen. I dont get whats so great, it looks more or less a slightly improved shadow of chernobyl, i played both games on xp and i dont think that dx10 lighting and rain effects can make such a big diffirence.dakan45

ArmA 2 is sometimes photorealistic, and sometimes looks like the original OFP. It's the same engine anyway.

Clear Sky looks better, and so does CoP. The NPC models are about the same, but Stalker has better animations.
