Yes, STALKER is buggy and lack of AA is annoying but it is one of those games that makes me want to take the afternoon off from work to go play itand I am still near the beginning
Can anyone else comment on the fact that the game is possibly a bit better running (or at least feels smoother) after applying the patch?
Patch seems to be a bit of a mixed bag, some people are reporting increases in performance, with others are reporting decreases. I've not tried the patch myself since I'm a few hours in and don't want to restart.
Absolutly loving the game now, despite being feeling miffed at it in the beginning, found it really hard in places, even on Stalker diffiuclty, but once I got some better armour and weaponary, the difficulty has evened out nicely.
Gotten quite tense at times, a bloodsucker (or what ever their called, those tentacle face guys) run stright infront of me unstealthed, into a warehouse, that was full of long grass and oozing radiation. as much as I wanted to kill the damn thing so he wouldnt jump my ass later, I didn't fancy walking into a death trap.
I carried on to my destination, but I could hear this bloodsucker all the time, eventually I came across a multi-story car pack with bandits on 3 different levels. I thought I'd sneak in and taken them out with a silenced weapon. But as you can guess, as I'm sneaking through open ground, guess who decides to run up behind me.
My world went to absolute hell as I was trying to shoot this invisible killing machine while dodging a hail of bullets.
Good fun though
