having just windows vista will do no game if your spec is low.

what is the spec of your computer? cpu? graphic card? amount of ram?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seems cool

1GB RAM

8600 GT

Pro 2 Duo 1.8 GHz

That's decent, but I have to agree that 1 GB may not be enough to run things smoothly.

Scored great here at GS too, I'm so looking forward to the third!Vfanek

Sorry, but if you check, Postal 2 scored 4.8 here in GS... out of 10.

Well, it's definetly not BF2 ^^
But what do you mean with "realistic" are you looking at how it compares to the real world in graphic's, physic's , objects/creatures walking in that world? or are you looking at for example at weapons , landscape, health/armor or how quick you are dead.

Call of Duty 2 is i think one of the most realistic shooters ever because it's reality, weapons are really used, landscapes are realistic and real existing towns and places, with a couple of bullets enemy's(and yourself) are downed just like in real world.
you cant jump like 20 times with no rest, with like 3 jumps or so you are tired and can't jump anymore.

the physic's system inF.E.A.R. isI thinkthe most realistic one compared to other FPS's .

Have you ever played Half-Life 2? HL2's physics own FEAR's anytime. A lot of objects in FEAR can't even be interacted with, and those who can be have pretty bad physics. Go play H2 and you'll know what I mean.

BTW, Operation Flashpoint is so realistic that's not enjoyable at all. I started the game on the lowest possible difficulty settings and got killed with 2-3 shots, and I couldn't even track the source of them.

Quite some from DoW:

"I fear no evil, for I am fear incarnate!" - Captain Gabriel Angelos a.k.a the force commander

"Even in death, I will still serve" - the dreadnought

"An open mind is like a fortress, with its gates unbarred and unguarded" - Librarian Isador

"In the frontlines, there is but one commandment...Thou shalt kill" - not sure about the source, but it's from Warhammer 40k.

From Half-Life 2, I like father Grigori's sayings straight from the Holy Book and some others.

MONSTER KILL  (don't tell me you've never played UT) 

Speaking about that, where can I find mods to make STALKER's night time darker? The night time in STALKER as it is is just like daytime (static lightning here). I have to watch the in-game clock to know that, in fact, it's night time.

And no, STALKER isn't like DOOM 3, DOOM 3 is much darker than STALKER. Unlike DOOM 3, raising the brightness of your monitor would help you seeing in the dark in STALKER. Plus, STALKER is a much better game.

[QUOTE="TacticalElefant"]Ever since I've been PC gaming, tinkering with details, making optimal graphical settings, noticing such minute details in shadows or textures or etc, I must say, in my real life, I've become quite more perceptive of everything in terms of how it looks. My friends will jokingly say "hey Mike, look at the dynamic shadow I'm creating with my hand!" and I'll laugh about it. It's weird, the attention to detail in my PC gaming endeavors has led to increasing my attentiveness of my real life now. I notice how light hits leaves, scatters, and excentuates the shape and how beautiful wood grains and the patterns look. Of course, my life and my virtual worlds are not the same, one being real, the other polygons and textures, yet both based on arithmetic.

Anyone become like this as well? I don't find it anything really profound, but it's definetly interesting and a welcome change to how I view my world and percieve it's beauty.

Mathematics are the fabric, the language, of the universe. We are in our infancy in learning this language. Hopefully we don't use mathematics to destroy ourselves.

You are living 70 years ago. Think about atom bomb, H bomb and the upcoming antimatter bomb. In fact, we are already using mathematics to destroy ourselves. It is just a matter of time until life on Earth is no longer possible due to radiation and destruction of natural resources caused by the constant human obsession, that is to destroy. 

you need to download the 64bit version i think, so its comptable with the apps.

 Even if I download Windows XP x64 specific downloads, they turn out to be corrupted, I'm getting pissed. Will try reformatting, but not right now.

I recently  installed  a new HD, in which I installed Windows XP x64 edition.

The problem is, almost every file I download turns to be corrupted/unusable. Could anyone help me with this pain in the @$$?
