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

It's fucking great, fyi.

Knife hit detection seems a little wonky; one of my favorite things to do is wound dogs, give them a head start of about 10 seconds, then bolt after them, hunt them down, and stab them when I get up alongside them. This doesn't work as awesomely as I'd like it to, and I usually just end up getting frustrated and shooting them.


I also tossed a grenade into a trio of patrolling soldiers, and in response to this about 5 more came marching down the road to take out the starting camp.

While they were skirmishing with my homies, I snuck up behind them and blew the hell out of them with the shotgun. It was awesome.

The graphics engine is also really impressive. I get absolutely no slowdown in a retardedly big game world that is all present at the same time, save for the shrubbery which appears about 40 feet in front of you.

And the game looks good.
