STALKER again. Thinking of downloading the LURK overhaul, which either came out very recently or is coming out very soon. http://getoutofherelurker.blogspot.com/

I don't think it's mandatory, though. The only thing in the vanilla game that really bothers me anymore is the way enemy respawns work. Dead mutants and Stalkers just pop up in the same place they originally started every time I leave the level, so when I go through an area again I know exactly what's going to happen and can outsmart them without even working at it. Especially if it's on the way to somewhere I visit a lot for ammo and shit, like the trainyard you have to fight through before you get to Yantar.

Places I never go still surprise me sometimes, though. I was rolling around at Agroprom to assassinate some guy for the Bartender and I stopped into the Neutral stronghold (at the Military complex you have to defend/escape from early in the game), which was populated at this point by about 4 rookie Stalkers and one guy who dressed like he knew what he was doing. I traded with them and dined on summer sausage and listened to guitar songs and shit, then left down the stairs to continue on my way. Then I see a cloaked bloodsucker wandering around in the courtyard of the base, and I go SHIT SHIT RUN AWAY, sprint up the stairs, and ready my shotgun. One of the rookies was like, "God damn negro pack that shit in you gon' hurt someone" and while he was complaining at me the bloodsucker ran up the stairs, uncloaked, and they all started shitting themselves.

I immediately shot him in the face and knocked him directly back to the ground floor. :picklehat

Don't you tell me my business again, noob.


Call of Pripyat's coming out pretty soon too, right? I'm getting it. I love Stalker so much that I might even pay for it.

nerd

i'd be playing it some if i hadn't fucked my videocard up

did i mention that already

game is rad

I wish they had it for 360; it sounds pretty awesome.

Last time I played it, it was riddled with bugs, so I don´t think that such a game would ever see a release on a console (or better it shouldn´t). Not that it´s a bad game, it´s just so much less than it could have been. But I hear, there´s a mod for that by now. Blowouts, Vehicles, balanced Combat, Fatigue, Sleep, functioning factions...all things that should have been there from the beginning. A friggin´ Life-in-the-zone simulation.

BUT I finished the game, not that anyone thinks, I´m just ranting because I like the sound of my own typing :D ...and I bought Clear Sky...not sure, it was a good choice.

UPDATE

the other day i was running around in this game and happened to bring my shard count up to 346 motherfuckers

Replaying Resident Evil Deadly Silence, what a wonderful idea it was to port the first part to the DS...I wish they did that with 2 and 3. 2 would be more than I could wish for though...just classic.

100 Quakes to Strength, motherfuckers. We fuck shit up and fuck up shit.

shadow complex is probably my favorite game on the 360

I finally got a PS3, mostly because I got sick of paying for LIVE. I should have bought this sooner! It plays Blu-Ray discs, which are more expensive, but hey, better quality, amirite? And the games are better than I thought; Killzone 2 and Resistance are so awesome! If anyone here lives near Austin, I'm selling my 360; I don't think I'm gonna need it anymore.

Alright! I told you so!

Glad you're enjoying it. Transformers is a great Blu-ray movie as is Casino Royale Collectors Edition and Quantum of Solace. Also, places like Amazon and Best Buy like to do a lot of B1G1 free blu-ray things, And Goozex now trades blu-rays.
Get LittleBigPlanet GOTY and Uncharted 2 when that comes out.

Add me on PSN you get the chance, trophy card is right below

Of course, comrade! When I get it hooked up to the internet, I will add you, and we may crush our enemies with our combined might!

HOHO~!

Saw it coming.

Fuck, any chance he gets, huh?

This wasn't as entertaining as I hoped it would be. :(

I haven´t played Killzone 2 but Resistance? I think that game is pretty horrible. A shooter by people that don´t know how to make a shooter. I somehow wish I hadn´t bought it and it was only 20 bucks...the second is a bit better but still nowhere near good as far as I could tell after playing it for 3 hours.

Resistance 2 is fine, I liked the scale of parts of it, especially the San Fransisco and..Iowa levels

But then they had typical video-gamey elements like having these stupid underwater creatures you cant kill. I understand they dont want you in the water but WTF. It also moves like 30 percent of it is vaseline

Playing inFamous as evil now, I actually feel bad doing the things he does.

I'm loving Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge. Came out last night.

I just downloaded it a couple hours ago and the first two missions are obnoxiously easy, meaning that they took me thirty minutes and I don't know how many retries to finish. I suck at this game, but I keep coming back to it.

I played Resistance 1 at my friend's house, and it was like it was ALMOST awesome. Then I realized the enemies were dumbasses, most of the guns were useless, and I wasn't having much fun whatsoever.

have you guys played stalker clear sky?

Finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 last night. Really nowhere near as good as the other ones. The jungle puzzle really made me sit back and think though.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, now

I grew up on the SNES Final Fantasy 2, so it's a major nostalgia rush for me. I'll probably buy all of the expansion packs too (something like 6 of them for $3 each). FFIV is a brand you can whore to me at any cost, second only to Marathon.

So, at the end of STALKER, all the snipers in Pripyat after a certain point are planted on fuckhuge skyscrapers and have railguns :lol

Needless to say, my squad never saw Chernobyl NPP. :tear

Kahl: I've never played Clear Sky, but ArrowX says it's basically 90% bandit killing. So, if that's what you're into.
