S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadows of Chernobyl
« on: March 22, 2008, 11:27:53 am »
Well i just got thie off Steam and downloading now($20) and i guess im not exactly sure what it is. My take on it is its a free roaming game in the Setting of After War Chernobyl. You fight Mutants and soldiers called S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s There is also multiplayer but i havent looked up on that much. The game play and setting remind me of my past Farcry memories. Has anyone played this? it got a O.K. Metascore (mediocer) 82/100 Or did you hear anyothing cool about it?

I remember playing the horribly crappy multiplayer beta. Never got around to playing the real game though.

Apparently it's set in the near future after a second meltdown at Chernobyl...

Looks interesting but I'd never buy a game without exhausting its demo.

Yep, a second meltdown at Chernobyl occurs on 2011 if I recall the story correctly, and it's a great game with stunning visuals, I was able to play it at its full graphical potential and I must say GG!

the action is realistic though, that's why not many people like it, if you like the Counter Strike, Warrock, Battlefield (kind of going in and out of cover regularly) action then you will adore this game, it's not a Run N' Gun game, it's got a got a good story as well.

EDIT: You think this screenie is sweet? Wait till you see the game's night effects! Just grab on tight to your pants cause it's gonna blow them away :)

Yeah the visuals are really good and with the faikes mod it looks even better maxed @ 1920x1200!

Oh yeah? Well I play with all low detail settings and static lighting at 1024x768! Sometimes it even gets up to 25 fps if I'm lucky!

They mean the Cold War. You know, the giant United States clusterfuck that lasted from roughly 1945-1990.

well if it lasted until the 90s you can't really say the chernobyl meltdown was "after the war", can you

Play in 800 x 600 and you just might be able to set one of the settings to medium. Anyway human eyes only see at 25fps so anything over 75fps is useless and wasteful.
