Morgoth Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Now that I eventually got into the bar and finally aquired a decent suit and an assult rifle with Scope, fighting actually now makes fun. I'm now near the quest where I've to get that "family rifle" (not that I've the intention to give it back to that drunkard), but everywhere people are shooting at me and I wonder where that damn thing is. Any Stalker comrade here to give me a small hint? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Cantousent Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey, I cleverly figured out how to throw grenades! Anyhow, where is the damned pseudodog. I've found a tail on a dog, but I'm sure it wasn't that easy. There must be some big, ugly pseudodog I have to fight. Where?!

I've found a tail on a dog, but I'm sure it wasn't that easy. There must be some big, ugly pseudodog I have to fight. Where?! Pseudodog tails are somewhat rare, it took me forever to finally get one. They are one that animal that looks like a wolverine or something, very aggressive and snarling. The tails are really hard to see on the inventory panel as well.

Morgoth Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I'm disappointed that I had to crawl through those anomalies just to receive this sawed-off shotgun. How lame. I thought I'd get an awesome Sniper-Rifle. Other than a friggin' invisible Mutant that almost shocked me to death, there was nothing interesting else. Now I'm off to the Dark Valley, and I'm wondering how to get there.... Maybe it's just me, but the map needs improvements, as I sometimes get a little lost in teh Zone. Rain makes everything better.

Maria Caliban Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) So far, my favorite part of the game is that mind melting mutant. I've encountered one invisable mutant so far, but I spotted it while it was still cloaked and killed it with a few head shots. The mind bender is EVIL though! I was walking down a corridor when I hear a mutant growl. I assumed it was another cloaked mutant hiding in the darkness in front of me, so I'm creeping along when I'm suddenly yanked along the hallway then face punched back to my body. My vision is blurry, so I decide to waste the ammunition fire blindly into the darkness. This doesn't work. At all. After being torn from my body twice more, I decide to run like the frightened girl I am. I turn tail and am sprinting down the corridor when my now horribly double vision makes out a figure. IT WAS BEHIND ME THE WHOLE TIME. But, I swear is wasn't there before. How did it get there? No time to think. Fire blindly. Run, run, run back to the darkness now. I now am in complete blackness and I can't see a damn thing, the walls won't hold still. I duck behind a outcropping. Okay, vision starting to get normal. First aiding self. It obviously has great long-range strengths, so I'll going to hide behind this outcropping. Sneak a peak down the hall. Yeah, it's following me. Switch to shotgun. I'm gonna blow off its swollen head as soon as it rounds the bend. Just steady shotgun...steady...steady... Not steadying. Am blurring again. Vision is turning red. Metallic whining in ears. What's happening? Oh f--k. Oh f--k. The closer it gets, the worse this becomes. If it gets close range, I'm helpless! Lob a grenade! F--k that, lob two! My vision is now red mush. Tossing grenade where I think mutant is. Vision is jerking wildly left and right. Did I toss it anywhere near it? Tossing another. Imma gonna get you, you mother- Massive explosion. Redness stops immediately. No more whining. I got it! Igotit-Igotit-Igot- Massive explosion. Maria dies. Edited April 8, 2007 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Hell Kitty Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 ^ Haha! That was great. When I met mister mind bender the second time I ran right up to him and emptied a clip into his face. He stops doing his attack when you get within a certain range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think I **** my pants the first time that thing ripped me out of my own body. Anyhow, I have entered the reactor core. Getting in was actually very difficult. Snipers on rooftops, helicopters shooting missiles everywhere, soldiers with RPG's (they have huge damage radius's), footsoldiers with body armour and armour piercing assault rifles.. and to top it all off, a five minute limit before the entire area becomes violently radiated! Love it! Much easier on the inside though. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yeah, I tried lobbing a grenade at the damned thing also. In my defense, I'd just cleverly learned how to throw grenades. I just ignored it. It really didn't seem bent on following me, so I went back up top and took on the soldiers. They're much easier to kill. On the other hand, while I was down there getting all the goodies, it said that my mission to get info on Strelok had failed. The damned game confuses me, so I'm just kind of wandering around, being confused, and shooting things. Right now, there are more bandits rushing the Hangar.

mkreku Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I have to agree though: this game can be damn confusing at times. I've heard of a billion different endings (or seven?), but I've only managed to get three. Two of them were obviously not right ( Wishbringer and Join the C-Consciousness ), but the third one was pretty OK. Thing is, I don't know if it's the optimal ending. It looked good enough, but it wasn't immediately clear if that was the best I could get.. ( I defeated Monolith and ended up just sleeping in the grass ) I'm afraid to go read a walkthrough as I'm sure I'll just be pissed at myself for missing such huge chunks of game along the way.

You left the building withou the flash drive? Did you find Strelok's secret hide-away? I found it, then spent fifteen minutes searching it for the flash drive.

Cantousent Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 You know, I eventually went back to find it. Of course, I'm armed to the teeth and laying waste. I'm going to restart, I think. I've managed to completely confuse myself and I need to start a new game, fresh. I'll also probably go one notch lower difficulty.

All the other endings involve the Wishbringer , and the wish depends on different things, for example if you have loads of money you get the "I want to be rich" ending.

Aegeri Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 It isn't difficult to have a boolean variable that stores the status of a mission ... having a real-time check on the bandit population (in this case) to see if all the bandits have been cleared (as per the mission) is patently ludicrous, given the respawn rate. Either tone down the respawn, or use a flag. I didn't see anyone point this out here, but you'll like the next patch because it is indeed toning down the respawn rate somewhat. I think that will be great, because it is currently way too high. Boss: You're fired. Me: Ummm will you let me have my job if I dance for you? Boss: No, I don't think so- Me: JUST LET ME DANCE *Dances* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
