I notice a distinct lack of Stalker topics. How dare you call yourselves gamers. Excellent game so far. Worth every penny. Think of it as Oblivion with guns. There you go! /me goes back to shooting things.

I've been keeping an eye on this game's development for the past few years. It looks promising but I'm waiting to see some reviews before I go and buy it.

Alrighty, I was totally confused. I thought you were talking about DS being a great game kinda like Oblivion, and that we don't talk about stalkers enough.

I swear that's what I thought.

Az, it's awesome. It has some bugs, which will be ironed out, but it's worth every penny. As for the rest of you...you make me sad. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/stalker/index.html

Sounds familiar...2weeks™?

Anyway, it's a decent game but nothing awesome. Just another overhyped shoot em' up in the long run..

The news? I haven't heard a game called Stalker mentioned on the news yet, even on the cable news networks like CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. Not one mention.

Rubbish game.

Story was far, far, far too short, and was far too easy (even on Hard mode, you just need to pick up bandages from every corpse).

It didn't even live up to half it's reputation, and they culled a ton of features that most people purchased the game for.

And the graphics engine isn't even up-to-date. I'd say it was 2004-esque in genre.

This game should be so much better, after all, it did have a 10 year development cycle.

THQ must be furious.

I'll get it just for the potential mods. Initial content aside, the Land of The Dead-style mods you could see for this... mmm.

Of course the engine isn't up to date. The game got canceled 4 times(Part of the reason most the stuff didn't get added). Remember, graphics arn't everything. As for the story. You have 7 endings. Gotta go through certain side quests to get them. So you can't say the story is short unless you just blazed through without branching into the other endings, because then it is. It only takes about 10 hours if you do that.

Two endings, both end at the same part. The rest of the missions are just tiny things that aren't that interesting after the second time doing them. They're just the same thing, in a different place, it also didn't get cancelled, THQ wasn't their publisher for 100% of the development cycle.

Facts straight > *.

It's just a general let down. A few years ago, this would of been great. Today however, it's lacking in a lot of area's, and a lot stops it from being a great game.
