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

[Misc]

Anybody playing this? Once you get past the glitches & bugs & added the mods the game is pretty decent, the visuals are probably the best i've seen in a game & they make up for the bad parts. It's quite creepy as when it gets dark it's pitch black & all you have is a little flash light. It's got loads of content & things to do & collect & quite a few weapons.
Alot of people have moaned about the guns not being accurate but the guns are actually very accurate meaning you can't just hit a headshot everytime as it depends on wind & bullet drop etc.
It's worth a play, isn't the best action i've seen in a game but definitely not the worst.

The game seems really quite decent, the graphics are especially stunning.

Seems a bit buggy though, everytime I've gotten into it, I've gone so far then I seem to die of turbo hunger

No matter how much I eat, I just carry on getting hungry the second I move again until I pretty much fall over and die. Wtf

It's your gfx card, the 7600GT isn't brilliant.
Other than that a Core 2 Duo will run it at full settings easy.

I had heard that it requires 2GB of RAM as well.

I played it pretty much non-stop for a week and completed it, earlier this month. Graphics were pretty impressive, and very atmospheric. I enjoyed the inventory system, although it was difficult to really see much effect from many of the artifacts, and I didn't really see much point in the trading - I never ran out of money and I wasn't really trying!

The ending was a bit of an anti-climax too, but the ongoing story was good, and some bits fighting large numbers of stalkers or attacking bases were brilliant, especially once you start getting NATO weaponry (although I found the SA80 pictured above pretty naff).
