S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians - Games

So after a long pause due to personal reasons I have decided to continue the dev' of one of my oldest mods, for Clear Sky. And after seeing the reduced amount of major mods that are still to come for this game, except Clear Skies and Call of the zone, I asked myself "Why modders generally stay away from this one, already ?". The answer came quickly.

Dem wet surfaces.[/QUOTE]This game definitly have the potential: The engine is at his best level, the sense of details in sound-design and level design beats Call of Pripyat and the plot has some interesting stuff. But seriously, what a fucking broken game. It has so much bugs and issues in every aspects. I have merged the latest version of Decane's life-saving patch with my mod, corrected about 50 anoying issues in a week but I still got the impression that I am playing a quickly made early-acess version of the real game. Even Dice would laugh at such an unfinished game. This is really a shame. (And theses god-awful dialogs.) I'm also 99% sure that there is a kind of hidden code designed to annoy those who try to fix the game, like: [CODE] If bug==corrected news bugs=3 endif[/CODE]

Clear Sky is the best game of the three. Unarguable.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;43789777]Clear Sky is the best game of the three. Unarguable.[/QUOTE] The saddest part is, it could have been wonderful. TFW is evidence of what could have been with that part of the game. If nothing else, it could have been good.

[/QUOTE] No other company comes close to DICE (/EA's) ability to ignore serious bugs in favour of making money out of the people that still trust them. I finally uninstalled BF3 last week, and I feel like I'm recovering from some sort of abusive relationship. No longer do I need a box of tissues next to my computer - to throw at the wall whenever crappy hit detection or servers with a pathetic 10hz tic rate, make me cry. At least when you shoot something in Clear sky - it dies.

[B]SURVARIUM 2014 Development Timeline[/B]: 30 December, 2013 - 20:54 [IMG]http://survarium.com/sites/default/files/news/p/survarium-2014-timeline-en.jpg[/IMG] Read more [URL="http://survarium.com/en/news/2014-development-timeline"]here[/URL]..

Hope they'll be able to deliver.

I'm optimistic that we'll finally get the true STALKER co-op experience in Survarium. [editline]5th February 2014[/editline] My merge

So far it's a fairly unremarkable shooter.

'freeplay mode' pls yes

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;43796179]I'm optimistic that we'll finally get the true STALKER co-op experience in Survarium.[/QUOTE] I'm just hoping it does financially well enough so they could make a proper single-player game based on their new I.P. Whatever Survarium is going to turn out as, I don't think it will replace a good, proper singleplayer game. Interested in the co-op mode and freeplay but peeved that it's delivered with the accursed F2P shooter format.

Currently, it's easy enough to get decent guns (and thus be on a fairly even footing) within the first few games. Armouring up is expensive, but the advantages armour provides aren't so high that anyone with it is much more powerful. The starting pistol is shit, though.
