Yep your all crazy for me this is the best one yet you lot must be like my bro run run run rush rush rush finish it i must finish it nowwwwww.
You can play this game like I did for ages and not actualy have done much looking for all the stashes etc great best one yet tbh.

the exact opposite really.
I spend ages exploring all the areas in stalker games and was drooling at the idea of stalking through anomaly filled apartments and buildings in pripyat only to get there it be pretty empty and over in 5 mins
First two sections I loved but pripyat felt rushed and empty. shame really pripyat is the most fascinating location in any of the games.
Obviously they hit problems with performance if they opened up more of the buildings/made it more detailed, which is why i hoped pripyat would be more than one location/zone (divided up) so that the maps could be more detailed and more open buildings.
And they fell into the same trap they have every game, made the final mission just a big battle full of spam.
In the first game rather than there just being a massive battle (and this one, and CS) i would have much preferred an incredibly detailed anomaly field/filled buildings etc with brand new anomalies and artefacts around the NPPT and having to pick through it and the sarcophagus carefully and stalking around exploring.
rather than the end levels always being a big spam battle between loads of random people (which the engine does not handle well).
the combat in stalker is perfect for out in the field between small numbers (quick deadly and all about getting the first shot in and cover).
but is horrible when it's just turned into a basic shooter type level like they have in the SoC, CS and CoP finales

guys , what happens when you need to recruit the leader of the monolith squad and you have already sold the PDA from the eralier missions to owl? i am stuck and cannot proceed to pripyat underpass...
you can't recruit him. you have to go with just the other 3.

I think there is a workaround actually, i sold the PDA almost instantly after i got it but still took him with me to Pripyat.
Does v-sync not work in this game? have it on in catalyst control panel and on ingame but get tearing.
No, it doesn't work. But if you get a little program called D3D Overrider, it forces it on perfectly without a big performance hit. It comes with riva tuner but you don't actually need to install riva tuner to use it. It works for mostr other Direct x games, too.
I DL'd atmosfear and unpacked it and put it in the STALKER CoP folder and the game now halts almost immediately. I had the same problem with Clear Sky and gave up in the end.
The instructions say to just put the gamedata folder into the main folder and change the fsgame file to true true for gamedata but it just locks up.
Miffed!
A bit disappointed with the graphics realy - trees and plants on highest settings with high AA still look like they were drawn on MS Paint if you get close enough. One of the worst games I have for screen-tearing too, although ill try the fix mentioned above.
Cant comment on the story as only played for a few minutes before heading back to Dragon Age.

Pretty sure it was the CoP version - is there install restrictions on CoP? I don't want to not be able to install the game after 2 or 3 failures to get the graphics mods working.
stalker is all about the lighting.
Absolutely loving this!
But the game stutters quite a bit, especially when i run. When i first ran the game the default graphics were set to Maximum so i assumed that was the problem, but i get the same problem at Low
People who rush through games are only wasting their own money! Good for you if you've finished it already, i've been playing it for 2 days solid and i haven't even gotten round to going to Pripyat yet

I spent ages looking everywhere for these ..... finally remembered what someone had said: Check the 'Workshops' and something else ... look at the map
Aye! and bloody hell its impressive

it came out in February
do you have clear sky?
Clear sky + the complete mod = the best looking of all the stalkers.
COP should look epic once the guy makes the complete mod for it
Some stalker clear sky (complete mod)
love the way things look when they get wet in the rain
Sadly no before shot, but can you guess what the former bandit is missing?
lovely detail on the snorks now
Just inside the front iornsight you can see the last of an unfortunate zombie group running into an anomaly
MY brains are melting!
Artefact fun
None spawned all collected by me, trying to choose what to sell (still got the very first artefact i picked up in the tutorial)
So beautiful
