Title: S.T.A.L.K.E.R Chernobyl and Clear Sky
Post by: azile0 on February 02, 2009, 10:02:26 am
Has anyone played either of them? I played Chernobyl for a while, and I remember I had alot of fun with it. Raping the Duty camp, pillaging Freedom, and running piss-scared from Bloodsuckers. The mods only made it better. Then I lost that game when my computer tanked. Has anybody played Clear Sky? They say it's the same engine as Chernobyl. They're both pretty buggy, but the patches covered them up.

I love the alot sign..

But I must say, Stalker: Chernobyl is one of my favorite FPS games. I just take my custom assault rifle, load a scope on to it, and unleash hell on everything. I also got the mod that allows faction wars, so I found their battlegrounds, and destroyed everything. Hopefully my next computer can run Clear Sky.

Clear Sky isn't supposed to be as good, mostly due to glitches.

I loved Shadow of Chernobyl, though. Tremendously atmospheric, fantastic AI and combat.

The first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game was all kinds of awesome, but I didn't like the fact that there was no way to repair weapons that had worn down from extended use.

Try the Oblivion Lost mod. Everyone seems to use it.

There's a repair mod. It's in larger mods like OL but you can get it by itself if you don't want anything but the repairing.

Call me a heretic, but my favorite mod is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Redux.

Oblivion lost was fun, but they went way overboard on the power of metamorphed artifacts.  By the endgame, I was not merely bulletproof, but I actually absorbed bullets and used them to repair my armor.

I used the Nightmare mods. Made the night scary. Bloodsuckers, ghosts, zombies, and controllers. Epic win. I didn't like Oblivion Lost much, though.

You need to do some serious patching, and there are some unofficial patches out there. I think the most annoying bug in 1.0 was the save files randomly getting corrupted.

I bought Shadow of Chernobyl over Steam and it crashed a lot, then I got a cracked .exe and it runs better. :blah:

You shouldn't say that you get cracked .exe files, because that's still considered piracy. You can keep the game, and re-sell it. One copy could feed the world with that method. But that doesn't surprise me. Steam sucks.

Wait, what? I know using cracked .exes is technically illegal. I didn't post any links, so the HLP administration doesn't care. Government agencies and software publishers don't troll message boards looking for people to prosecute so I'm not worried about a lawsuit, and I paid for the game so I feel satisfied morally. I just saw conflicting posts on whether STALKER is buggy or not and though I'd share my own experience to possibly shed some light on things for other people.

I shouldn't have spoken. One mention of piracy drives people into a screaming fit. Letsgetbackontopicshallwe?

Unfortunately, there's no Mac version of Chernobyl or Clear Sky. Have to wait.
