Sense I make not.

Don't hate americans, hate insta.

lol cool

It ran great for me with static lighting but the atmosphere was totally. lost. So I thought fuck it and put the dynamic lighting on full. Bit choppy at times but well worth it for the atmosphere it provides.

Yeh, me too. It's just a cheap way of making a nation look stupid without any solid arguements. I think it's neither cool or funny..

I bet you laughed inside.

And another thing, I don't understand peoples claims in saying stalker looks bad? Stalker looks worse than hl2? What are these people on! The lighting in this game is breathtaking, I've spent so many hours just sitting with other stalkers while one plays the guitar and just watched the rain and thunder illuminate the landscape. Truly epic stuff. One of the best looking games I've played.

And oh yeah, I hate snorks.

Well that sorta sucks, from everything I read with interviews with the devs you could, never said it was cut before release ever from what I can find.

Any you d00ds know how to join the Duty faction yet? Can't figure out who to ask.

Ok forget the whole not scared thing. I'm making it through the swamp to lab x16 and the zombies here are just giving my the shits. Doesn't help that I'm down to my last 2 clips. HEADSHOT TIME.

i might go pick this up today

Do it.

You guys finding it scary? Girls. I'm finding it tense but from what you lot are saying you're shitting yourselfs major time. I went down into x18, come across random bloodsuckers trying to rip my face off but the only thing thats made me jump slightly is a barrel falling on me in x18.

But jesus tap dancing christ I cannot say this enough - BUY THIS GAM!E IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE IN DESIGN.

Stalker is so good even my mum is playing it.

Really sweet job erratic.

Mannnnnnnnnnn. It is buggy though, my log files don't work so I never get to read any of the diaries as it doesn't update the log to show them.

I just experienced my first lighting storm with full dynamic lighting... HOLYSHIZNIZZLE it looks fabulous! This game is fantastic I could spend forver just wondering around starting at the sky and listening to the awesome atmosphere. As it began to rain I took cover in the factory that you raid with a few other rookie stalkers and we sat around a burning barrel and listening to one play the guitar while I watched the storm out of the door.

Prior to this in the raid I had saved one of the stalkers from a fatal gunshot wound and after saving him from all but certain death befriended him. Anyway, after the stalker had finished playing the guitar I decided to leave just as I was leaving the premises I suddenly heard gunshots, quickly turned around and ran back to the building I just left. Upon entering it I see one of the stalkers running out with his pistol drawn and being chased by one of the Mutant boars! I quickly help him kill it, and from what I could gather the fucker had snuck up behind them through the shadows of the building. I discovered the 2 other stalkers bodies, one next to the burning barrel, he hadn't even had chance to react to the boar, and my friend who was face down in the mud outside.

I. LOVE. THIS. GAME.

Played a few hours worth and I have to say it was worth the wait in my eyes. The atmosphere is INTENSE. But the thing that really bugs me is the performance, I get better performance out of oblivion on max than this on low/med. It's fine though if I turn it to static lighting, but then you lose all the normal maps, detail and lighting and it looks shit then. So... blergh.

Great game, just needs some patches to sort out performance.

And I got kinda the same as koko, but only happened to me when it rained. Couldn't see shit.

Ridiculous.

I found a video, 10 mins ingame with this is as the system they were playing on: (quote)"The play by the way ran on a core 2 duo X6800 (2.93 GHz) including a Geforce 8800 GTX, without FSAA and AF. To see is according to Cevat Yerli of the Direct-X-10-Modus."

Oh, nice. A system everyone has, and can afford.
