Well, I know that most people who played it understood it for the gem it was. But, I feel it was largely ignored by the masses because it was a platform exclusive. That having been said, I think Stalker Shadows of Chernobyl and Stalker Call of Pripyat were easily two of my favorite games last gen (and two of the best FPS' all-time, in my opinion), that really got very little press.
It's too bad too, GSC folded trying to cram their X-ray engine into the PS3/360, had they waited a little longer they could've released it all, without any sacrifices having to be made, onto this gen of platforms.
