Hurlshort Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Call of Pripyat. The game oozes atmosphere. Loving it so far. I decided to pick up the original Stalker game off Steam. I'm still downloading it, but I always meant to play it and never got around to it.

Purkake Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Better get Uncharted 1/2 and stuff like Flower, Pixeljunk: Eden, Wipeout HD from PSN.
entrerix Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 i dont need wipeout (not a fan of the original, so shiny graphics dont sell me on this one - perfect dark hd on the other hand i WILL have) but i plan on getting uncharteds, flower, shatter, pixeljunk, and of course: demons souls (which is half the reason i caved) Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Purkake Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Looks like you have done your research Also, look up Siren: Blood Curse on PSN if you like horror games.

entrerix Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) i love horror games i will check that out. (oh and i intend to get heavy rain once it hits the bargain bin) metal gear solid 4 so far seems like its going to finally wrap up some of the insane storyline from MGS1 and 2. i just wish wish wish wish there were more games in the 70's where you get to finish big boss' origin. MGS1 is still my favorite, but 3 was so goddamn awesome, i just wish 3 had been titled origin or something and they made at least one sequel to it bridging the gap between the end of 3 and the beginning of the original metal gear Edited February 15, 2010 by entrerix Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Purkake Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 metal gear solid 4I hate you so infinitely much. ;( You can just watch the whole thing on youtube... It's just series of really long cutscenes, right? just kidding
entrerix Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 im a HUGE metal gear solid fan, i've played MGS 1, 2 and 3 probably about 6-8 times each. and even I can say "yes, that joke is close enough to reality its not actually offensive" Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Purkake Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I watched some of it on youtube when it first came out and even without knowing anything about the story, it looked pretty cool. I'm sure if you've actually played the previous games it will be super special awesome.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Call of Pripyat. The game oozes atmosphere. Loving it so far. I decided to pick up the original Stalker game off Steam. I'm still downloading it, but I always meant to play it and never got around to it. There's a couple mods you might want to try, particularly Oblivion Lost as that restores lost content. "Geez.

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Call of Pripyat. The game oozes atmosphere. Loving it so far. I decided to pick up the original Stalker game off Steam. I'm still downloading it, but I always meant to play it and never got around to it. I never played much of the original, this is technically my first Stalker game. Its got flaws, but its unique. First sandbox shooter that works IMO. It can be scary as hell until you get to know the zone. Getting stuck in some god forsaken place in the map because you weren't watching the clock leaves you having to go back to a safe house with a tiny lamp in pitch black darkness, while all sorts of things are howling in the night. And the Bloodsuckers... jesus. When you aren't crapping your pants, there are the disturbingly beautiful surroundings of the Zone, so - I recommend it. Basically its more Fallout in atmosphere then Fallout 3, in some ways even superior to Fallout itself because of its extreme realism. i am looking forward to playing call of pripyat once the price drops a little more, the first Stalker was awesome Havent played the first one but I can tell you this one's badass.

Purkake Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 They screwed up the Bloodsuckers in Clear Sky, and presumably still in Call of Pripyat.
Slowtrain Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 They screwed up the Bloodsuckers in Clear Sky, and presumably still in Call of Pripyat. In what way? 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.

Slowtrain Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 They made them invincible when invisible. heh. I played SOC and Clear Sky until my head exploded and I never even noticed that.

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 From my experience theyre not invincible when invisible. I shot several when they were invisible (the cloaking thing when they pass close to you) and killed them that way. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Well, it's true and really annoyed me in Clear Sky, maybe they changed it back in CoP. The whole shooting thing feels really weird in Stalker, actually. People or creatures don't really react to being shot(as in flinching) and everything take a ton of bullets to die. Edited February 16, 2010 by Purkake
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Again no, shooting human enemies in the arm and shoulders will make them jerk back and fire wildly, shooting in the head is almost insta kill. Creatures dont react though, thats true. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Hmm, I guess Call of Pripyat changed a lot of things then. I remember running out of ammo fighting some of the power-armored dudes back in SoC. I hear it's really short, though. Edited February 16, 2010 by Purkake

I remember running out of ammo fighting some of the power-armored dudes back in SoC. I hear it's really short, though. Well it doesn't feel short because of all the exploring there is to do... Dunno. Something like 25-30 hours to see everything. Its all unique content so it had to be small. Yeah, enemies with exoskeletons are tough, (just as much as you are with an exo on since its got a huge armor rating). There are only a handful in the first two areas though, and a shotgun at close range will kill em easily, or a headshot at long ranges. I've yet to see Pripyat. Anyway the animations aren't all that great but the ballistic model for the guns is. It ain't arcade shooting like in CoD, bullets have a trajectory and you have to aim carefully. Especially with the crappier guns. Edited February 16, 2010 by RPGmasterBoo Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Purkake Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 The bullets dropped like rocks in the first game, it was pretty disheartening to have to snipe dudes with a damn arc at less than a hundred meters. I think they fixed it by Clear Sky.
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Well I bought the best assault rifle, and upgraded it. It shoots flat at a hundred meters, easy headshots. I've yet to try a sniper. There is one flaw with the combat, monsters dont do much damage and are consequently less frightening. It would have been better to make them more vulnerable to guns and increase their attack damage. I like that this is one of the few games that a shotgun is damn useful. Since most creatures engage in melee - surprising you by running out of tall grass, there's a real incentive to keep a shotgun handy. And an assault rifle for people. And a pistol when youre scouting anomalies and have only one hand free. And a sniper because you dont really want to fight some of the enemies up close. And tons of grenades. Lol. But there is a cool purpose to each weapon, not much obsolete stuff. Edited February 16, 2010 by RPGmasterBoo Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
