S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Call of Pripyat



but im guessing none of you know what that is do you

Was this comment really necessary? There are people in here that do play on the PC and do know what S.T.A.L.K.E.R is.

And why is S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat a sleeper hit when Shadow of Chernobyl already had cemented it's status as one of the best PC FPS? o.O 

 

the comment was just a way to route out other stalker fans and appears to have worked :D

 

alhtough i will admit that most people's reaction to stalker I have seen is ' why the fuck do you like this when we have MW2?  the graphics are shit, the multiplayer is shit and the single player should take  7 hours max' so I have become rather jaded towards the FPS gamaing community.

 

id say its my personal sleeper hit since i did not expect it to be as good as it is

Ok ok xD 

I kinda understand what you mean, lots of people don't get what Stalker is all about, since it's pretty much different from almost all FPSs out there.

I've yet to play Call of Pripyat since i've been swamped with other games (and I still need to finish Bioshock 2 and AvP on PC as well, since I have no more space left on my HDD, mainy for the HDD beast that is Dragon Age T.T).

What story does the game take from? The ending where Strelok destroys the C-Consciousness or the one where he merges with it? 

 

Story takes place from the ending where he destroys it. His actions allow a huge influx of people into the zone. You play as a new character, a Ukranian agent sent in to estbalish why 5 military choppers crashed in the zone. So far there hasn't been much of a link to past games although I am about to enter Pripyat so that could all change very very quickly.

 

Definately the best stalker game so far tho is my opinion of it

Thanks for the summary :) I'm definetly picking it up after I finish this game load I have.

 

play it on the ahrdest difficulty setting, soooooooooooooo fun
