cuss:











......beta?

biggrin: Just the multiplayer test fileplanet were doing, fuckers still havn't sent me my key so ive not been able to play it yet. cuss:

prepare to be let down

From all the new previews I've read, nope. I realise all the problems the game's had over the years and may still have but from what testers have been saying, I like what I've heard.

jesus christ...36 years later

From what ive read this game has been drastically scaled down form what it was intended to be, all the elements that made it something that stood out have been seriously nerfed or removed totally.

I remember i posted a screen of this game years back with that funny looking m4 varient in it, ballisticwookie was still posting here so that shows how long ago that was. eek:

Holy shit I forgot this game even existed. It looks terrible now.

PC Gamer UK has reviewed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and given it the score of 87%

Here is a couple of excerpts:

It's best described as a first-person shooter/roleplaying game/ survival horror hybrid, in that order....the horror is the thing that underlines the whole game. It's what makes it work. It's what makes it different.

It's: Enormous, atmospheric
It's not: The hype, nearly as buggy as you'd expect, monster-stuffed

rock:

is it me or does that bloom lighting effect not look very good

I dont think the game in general looks very good based on screens, those cocks at fileplanet have yet to send me my multiplayer "beta" key despite the fact the games gone gold so how the fucks it a beta? oOo:

In the pic miyagi posted that hand\arm and gun look like something you'd expect the original half life engine to produce.

Yeh, looks like something straight outta counterstrike terrorist hand + day of defeat original gun

whats the premise? there are nuclear mutants still living there that the military is sent to kill?

I'll pass
