Tale Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Not really STALKER related, but Chernobyl related: Photographic records Spring '07. It's actually sort of a narrative. Pretty incredible. You can see some of the conceptual inspiration for STALKER areas there. That narrative was more interesting before I found out it was a lie.

Gfted1 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 That narrative was more interesting before I found out it was a lie. I read that a few years ago and thought it was fascinating. You're saying its made up? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Got it through Stumbleupon, so I can't really speak to its authenticity. She didn't ride her bike through there. She took a guided tour just like everyone else does, wore a biker jacket, brought a helmet, and posed for pictures. Aspects of it are true, she did visit and some of what she is describing is likely true, but the narrative part of her riding a bike through alone is not.

Tale Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Depends on your definition of "reliable." There's some information floating around saying she was part of a guided tour and supposed admissions from her. http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread_archive.asp?threadid=8951 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elena_Filatova http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread_archive...1&pp#post13 This could all be rumors and heresay, and I'm not one to trust a furry, but the claims that motorcycles and going alone into Chernobyl are prohibited sounds a little too reasonable.

Wistrik Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Thanks for posting the forum site. I checked out "pulse's" links. Interestingly this "Rimma" person works for a government agency, so she could have been feeding those people propaganda in order to minimize the true damages. Again, not entirely reliable, and unfortunately I can't trust any of the players in this game. I like some of the photos though, regardless of where they might have been taken.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have a question for those people who play Stalker on a minimal system -read P4 4.0 and 6800 Ultra-, how does it run? Is it worth buying, or should I only get it after I upgrade? "Geez.

Tale Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I wouldn't call that a minimal system. I was running it just fine on a AMD 64 3000+ with an ati X700 graphics card.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I was running it just fine on a AMD 64 3000+ with an ati X700 graphics card. Ok, thanks, I just wanted to make sure I could run it before spending hours downloading the patch and dollars getting the game... "Geez.

Slowtrain Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 A fourth patch is about to be released. It is almost done but was suspended due to E3. Work should be resuming shortly. You may want to wait before starting a new game. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Pidesco Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have a question for those people who play Stalker on a minimal system -read P4 4.0 and 6800 Ultra-, how does it run? Is it worth buying, or should I only get it after I upgrade? It depends on your screen's optimal resolution of course, but I run it with maxed out settings on a P4 3.0 and a 7600GT. However, it seems to me that what's most important with Stalker is the RAM: switching from 1 to 2 Gbs gave me a nice FPS boost.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 How would STALKER perform on an Intel Core Duo@2.14Ghz, with 1GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT? Worth a shot or upgrade something? And by upgrade I mean robbing the hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 If you add 1Gb of RAM it should run perfectly at 1280x960. And even if you don't it should run fine, anyway.

Ok, I'm already at 2.5 Gbs of RAM, so it sounds like I would be able to run the game with an acceptable level of graphics... "Geez.
