Anyone else here thinking that S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Call of Pripyat is the best of the series? - Games

I loved this game. Every bit of it. Even if it is somewhat shorter than the first one, it still kicks the series up a notch. First of all, what I liked - quick keys. The most awesome creation of this expansion. It just allowed me to have a lot more chance to survive. I was able to use grenades to save myself from ultra invisible garden gnomes that had knifes and also quick use the stalker drink to run away from controllers. Another thing I liked is the new area transition - I liked to spend a little less time going to Yanov station from Zaton. Saved me a lot of health kits and bandages than Shadow of Chernobyl. I also liked the Area position. Sawmill, burned house - all that good stuff to help you travel faster. I also played a little bit of Shadow of Chernobyl at my cousin's house in summer, and I didn't see these futures. I also liked the new dialogue choosing. I just don't know why I like it more, but it is way easier to choose. When I started playing Shadow of Chernobyl, I was messing with my head for 10 minutes until I found out how to say something in a dialogue. In CoP, I knew what to press. Not that I played SoC first because I forgot almost all of the fun I had playing it, this one was way easier. The next thing I would like to like is the emission life. Still, it was kind of unrealistic as you need to hide under a brick building, but you must be under the stairs to not get killed by the mission, while being inside the building, not under stairs kills you. The emissions are so realistic at high-performance PCs! And last but not least - sleeping. This was such a great addition! I now can sneak behind people and use my silenced pistol to kill bandits and other goons. In Shadow of Chernobyl I wanted to go in night so I can sneak and kill people silently, but using speed time it just doesn't do anything to my surroundings - only the sky. I can just say this game was awesome. I didn't get to play Clear Sky yet, but as soon as I find it in the shops and buy it - I will try it out too! I probably forgot a few things in CoP because there is so many additions. Cheers!

You know there's a STALKER thread just a couple of threads below this?

To bad S.T.A.L.K.E.R is not very famous in the larger groups... Game needs more promotion

I like how it is a niche game.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;21388237]To bad S.T.A.L.K.E.R is not very famous in the larger groups... Game needs more promotion[/QUOTE] If the game got more popular it would have to simplify to increase the audiance I think it's better being a niche game

Yeah it's much better as a niche game.

[QUOTE=Gvazdas;21388163]God, this is so embarrassing.[/QUOTE] Thats why you check the title more than the actual post.

What does niche mean? I haven't heard of that word.

[QUOTE=Gvazdas;21388339]What does niche mean? I haven't heard of that word.[/QUOTE] Applies to a select audiance or something like that

nope. SHOC <CoP<CS

anyone else here think that there should be a STALKER mega-thread?

It sure is the least buggy.

Shadow of Chernobyl was awesome, and will always hold a special place in my heart in those thousands of hours of game play.

ShoC and CS both felt like betas to CoP's actually somewhat complete and functioning game. To me anyway.

[QUOTE=TheCombine;21417176]It sure is the least buggy.[/QUOTE] I had no bugs in any of the games. :colbert:

[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;21416421]nope. SHOC <CoP<CS[/QUOTE] You either have it backwards or forgot how "less than/greater than" works.

oh lmfao. i was tired.... Thank you SHOC>CoP>CS hahaha

stalker really isn't as niche as you guys think, it's not hard to figure out.

[QUOTE=Owner3;21426206]stalker really isn't as niche as you guys think, it's not hard to figure out.[/QUOTE] It isn't hard to figure out, but not a lot of people try to, or even know it exists. Also, I've never had any bugs in either SoC or CS. I honestly have no idea what you guys are talking about.

I've had a few bugs in every Stalker game... Besides CoP.

[QUOTE=Thorny;21388209]You know there's a STALKER thread just a couple of threads below this?[/QUOTE] Yeah, you could have posted this there and have it almost completely ignored.

I felt like they really took the personalities out of the factions, I really enjoyed doing missions for them in the first two.

I hate them all for one reason, they all crash for little to no reason.

[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;21416421]nope. SHOC <CoP<CS[/QUOTE] So Clear Sky was the best? What? [editline]03:58PM[/editline] [QUOTE=MagicBurrito;21426089]oh lmfao. i was tired.... Thank you SHOC>CoP>CS hahaha[/QUOTE] Yeah I was wondering already.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;21388237]To bad S.T.A.L.K.E.R is not very famous in the larger groups... Game needs to get its bugs fixed.[/QUOTE] yeah, totally agree. it's a crashing game at times. but my SoC is holding up well so far. but it just has too many serious issues to appeal to larger audiences. [QUOTE=Achilles123;21426396] Also, I've never had any bugs in either SoC or CS. I honestly have no idea what you guys are talking about.[/QUOTE] my game is one long stop dance with screaming mutants as soundtrack. never crashed though. i DO have a proper system for it: Q9550 3.4 GHZ 4GB ram Geforce 260 core 216 OC. sometimes, i think quality testing has become a running joke for developers these days.

[QUOTE=xxFoxxx;21420684]You are either a) Lying or b) The only one on the planet[/QUOTE] Not really, I never encountered any bugs my self on CS or SHOC. That or I never noticed v:v:v
