So yeah, I got CoP today and will give my impressions after installing.

Dae, if I don't like it, will you set the KGB on me?

BULLSHIT

IT'S ALREADY OUT?

by **Tantalus** » Sat Feb 06, 10 9:24 pm

Came early for me, and I've seen it in Game (albeit £30 for the STANDARD).

£17.99 at Play.com right now.

:lol:

We're such limey bastards!

Tell me how it is

by **Tantalus** » Sat Feb 06, 10 9:58 pm

Keep in mind I haven't actually played any other STALKER games.

Enjoy your newfound crippling fear every night, all night.

Enjoy searching bushes because you 'think you heard' something

Okay, impressions.

To sum it up: cheap and cheerful entertainment.

Graphics: models look a bit...dated. However, on some occassions, the visuals can be quite stunning (especially indoors).

Gameplay: reminds me quite a bit of Oblivion (was going to say Fallout 3 but HERP-DERP). Entirely free-roaming gameplay with standard RPG quest structure. I must say, hanging out with Stalkers holds a very quaint charm, especially the ones who say "Wassup, bro" and "TAEK A CHEEL PEEL, MANG".

Challenge: playing this on stalker (or normal difficulty) is a sufficient challenge for me, with bog-standard armour you will probably die within roughly 4-5 shots; yet the game is NEVER cheap.

Sure, this game doesn't have the production value of a Bioware or Valve title, but it holds its own charms which are too few and far between these days.

WASSUP BRO

You should play the other stalker games. S.T.A.LK.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was in my opinion one of the best games ever made. Too bad Clear Sky didn't do much justice to SoC, besides with graphics.

by **James** » Mon Feb 08, 10 7:40 pm

STALKER is an excellent game yes, even better when modded.

Yet to play Clear Sky or CoP

Yeah, much better with Oblivion Lost. Gives a great atmosphere

jay is there any game you don't play?

by **James** » Mon Feb 08, 10 9:12 pm

Yes bad ones ps3 ones
Is there a problem?, it's my hobby.

by **clyzm** » Mon Feb 08, 10 10:36 pm

So first impressions of CoP

FUCK YOU EMISSIONS

Everyone's a bro

Gun's still shit inaccurate like the first 2 (moreso Clear Sky than anything else)

by **Wasted.** » Mon Feb 08, 10 11:31 pm

What it boils down to: nuclear apocalypse. Only ethnically diverse hippies, who all play guitar or harmonica around the campfire, survive who suit up and walk around scorched bits of earth to find radiation-secreting ornaments.

Simple enough?

In a perfect autistic world we do not discuss our interests.

Well not a problem, but I find it pretty ironic that you accuse me of being "autistic" yet at the same time spend all your time jacking off to some video games, claiming them as your hobby.

by **James** » Mon Feb 08, 10 11:47 pm

I'm sure only an autistic would declare that he thought I implied video games are only allowed to be my hobby and I guess I was right.

I'll have fun with my video games you stay angry at video games.

If you ever get the original STALKER:

After that try this:

First link is out of service

I just learned the most important part of Stalker

always quick save

by **James** » Tue Feb 09, 10 12:01 am

Woah what the Hell?! Oblivion Lost should be somewhere else I guess IDK

Yeah quick save spam is approved as game is hard as nails.

by **clyzm** » Tue Feb 09, 10 6:46 am

Jake you were right about the funny Stalker people. WASSUP BRO and HEY DUDE WANNA TRADE. Everyone's so surprisingly friendly, often asking if you wanna walk with them to a certain place, and declaring they're glad to see you even if they don't know you.

KYPCK is hilarious yet fitting for the background noise

That Hawaiian at the station is hilarious

Also, fuck weight limits. I have to sacrifice carrying 5 guns in favor of stacking up x20 on bandages, SAUSAGE ROLLS, bread, vodka, anti-radiation drugs and first aid kits. I even dropped a pimped out LR300 with a scope and a silencer and 250 rounds :'(

by **clyzm** » Fri Feb 12, 10 11:29 am

It's like a really interactive Fallout 3 done right

POWER ARMOR

by **Siva** » Sat Mar 20, 10 11:53 am

Finally got around to copping this

Just started mastamode, where can I get my exoskeleton already fuck this armour I'm dying to everyone

by **clyzm** » Sat Mar 20, 10 6:21 pm

Ask Nimble

He got all the goods baby

by **DxPlayer** » Mon Apr 12, 10 6:33 pm

I got this game from a Steam promotion.

I didnt play it very well because my VGA is a GeForce 6200, the game runs very bad here.

by **clyzm** » Thu Jan 31, 13 6:41 am

Been playing this again from time to time

Still hasn't lost its charm

The best STALKER imo

2nd best is the original one

Last place is Clear Sky

by **Mastakilla** » Thu Jan 31, 13 1:45 pm

I only ever finished the first, so for me the first one is the best

CoP was very decent though, starts out a bit harder and drops you right into the middle of shit it felt like, where in SoC you kind of got eased into things (Even though I still ended up the millitairy outpost right at the start because YOLO)

Looking forward to giving CoP another try in the near future.

by **Shinobi** » Thu Jan 31, 13 4:53 pm

Got STALKER on disc right in front of me. Nver installed it. Shadow of Chernobyl.
