It's the same as the steps on the website. Thanks anyways though. Maybe I'll ask around that thread.There have been many PC threads here about several different games/mods. The problem is that you just turn a blind eye to them. Hell wouldn't the PC & MAC games be flooded with Crysis threads if that was the case?I'm impressed, finally a PC gaming thread thats not about crysis.

Reviews should be guidlines only, this game is far better than most of my 9.5 rated games, games like COD4 cannot hold a candle to STALKER, this is coming from a guy who has spent at least 5x more time in cod4 multiplayer, but STALKER is truly a fantastic game, sure it has problems, but most of my favorite games have pretty significant problems when I think of it, I can see through it and enjoy the game even though it is sometimes annoying
The reason the Stalker games got such low scores from their reviews is simply because of some bugs that were in the launch versions of the game. With these mods and the subsequent patches that have been released since, these games no longer have the bugs. Without doubt, the games are worthy of a much higher score.
However, consolites will cling on to the original score GS gave the games, stick their fingers in their ears and repeat the given score. Thats is fine for me however, the stalker games can remain those hidden-gem type games that not everyone knows about lol.
Look at the vids, they really do show some light on how good this game looks when you are playing it. Yeah you are right it looks even better than those screens :cry:This thread has inspired me to finally install and play Stalker. The game looks magnificent, completely oozing atmosphere at every turn. Seriously, these screens don't do the mod justice.

Why do people still make the "LOL STALKER NOT AAA SERIES!!!1!!!" Argument? It scored 8.5 here, despite being broken as hell on launch, it's not the same game any more everything has been improved. Mass Effect, Uncharted and TP all scored under AAA we can do this kind of thing all day, the truth remains that STALKER is one of the few games to move the FPS world forward in the last 5 years.The reason the Stalker games got such low scores from their reviews is simply because of some bugs that were in the launch versions of the game.

STALKER's great and all, but it runs like crap on Vista. I don't know why. I have a PC that can run it on max, but everytime I play it, after about 10 minutes of gameplay it tends to slow down in framerate and just becomes unbearable to play. So I've only had the pleasure of playing it on medium or low. It sucks I know.
[QUOTE="General_X"]Thank you for this, I bought this game for $5 from steam and felt that the original graphics were too dated for me to be able to get into it. Now I shall have another go at it.BumzurUnless you have a piece of **** computer, this game looks awesome even without mods.

Now I shall have another go at it.Juggernaut140Unless you have a piece of **** computer, this game looks awesome even without mods. Well it didn't help that I had just beaten Crysis, plus the steep initial learning curve and cheapness of some enemies really hurt my initial experience. But now that I've logged in over 13 hours I would say that it is becoming quite an experience. I only have 2 complaints: 1. How many friggen bullets does it take to kill a friggen dog, seriously I die from enemy fire quicker than these things, and watch out if they are in a pack. 2. The dead aim of enemies and the near ESP when I'm around them is pretty crazy. I remember one part when I was coming from the underground into a military complex as soon as the game was finished loading I was spotted shot and killed before I could take 3 steps. Reload that part and repeat 5 times and I got a little frustrated. Luckily I finally managed to make it to some cover and quick save just to have to fight off the rest of the base from my cover.
[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"]Have you found an AK or any variants yet? General_XJust an unique AK with faster firing speed. Also if you want I could upload the patch for you. Dude, that would be amazing :o

Thanks again man :D
If anyone wants a clear-cut example of PC's superior graphics, play CoD4 for the Xbox 360, and then play it for the PC. It's as if going from Mario 64 to Crysis.
EDIT: Sorry if irrelevent, but honestly for the first time I just went back and forth between CoD4 for the 360 to the PC version my friend gave me and wow - my head is spinning.
[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"]So, when did gamers become such *****es?BoloTheGreatHu? waht does this have to do with this? The whining about Stalker's difficulty i encounter every time someone brings the game up.
Haha, i bought Clear Sky yesterday. See guys, follow the story correct. Buy the prequal FIRST then playthe Shadow of Chernobyl. So this game is suppose to hard huh? Your talking a guy that has 100% in Super Stardust HD. Stalker will be like playing Super Mario Bros with cheats!! I can't wait to play this series.

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"][QUOTE="Toriko42"]No matter how good it looks, Gears of War 2 and Killzone 2 are AAA What is this game?Toriko42A really hard yet rewarding, SUPER atmospheric FPS :? Irrelevant to system wars It's a A-AA series.
In my opinion it is AAAA.
Now, if a reviewer,(After bugs got solved) still gives it A-AA then it doesnt tell much about the game, but it will tell much about the reviewer itself!

STALKER is probably my favorite game of all time :DStill doesn't work, even with the patch :(:(:( Maybe I'll try buying a Steam copy Juggernaut140Apparently, with some mods, for retail copy, you have to go in and change some values in certain files to get it to work. The Steam version does not require this, or so I've seen. OL worked flawlessly for me first time.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="Juggernaut140"] It usually turns into "I PLAY GAMES FOR FUN NOT TO BE FRUSTRATED" which is super annoying :? Juggernaut140I didn't find it "frustrating" exactly, I found it challenging. The shooting just took a little getting used to. At the beginning of Shadow of Chernobyl, when those Military guys were trying to make me pay to get by them, I killed one of them, grabbed his AK74 and ran. After doing so, i climbed to the top of the mill and proceeded to snipe all of with only 30 rounds of AK74 ammo. I didn't have scope either, i just had to take time with my shots. Contra was more "frustrating" than STALKER. I wasn't saying that STALKER was frustrating btw Yeh, i know. I saw the quotes. :P
