Was little tricky at parts but generally fairly easy specially once you get some of the better augmentations.

I played it recently, and wasn't too impressed. Vehicles would have added a lot to it.

So what all was removed?

**Ghostsuit** · 8th December 2007, 12:07pm

I have to say it was one of the better games last year in fact I think the lack of vehicles wasn't an issue. Vehicles don't tend to add much in most games lihe this, take Half Life 2 the vehicle sections just bloody annoyed me.

They were kinda on rails, though.
In Stalker, I just felt that it took too long to get anywhere...

Again couple of mods and you can run about the maps pretty quickly.

Yeah theres a fair bit of back tracking every now and then.

Is this the first big Tunnel? If so you've a number of options to get through.
1. Fight - Not the smartest as there are bloody loads of them and they blow the crap out of you at this stage

.
2. Bribe the guards
3. Theres another tunnel which has electricity running though it. Just have to time it right to walk through.

4. Sneak up and through then run out on the other side like blue buggery.

I just spoke to a guard who was a spy and he told me to head into the sewer, as soon as the guards in the sewer see me they just shoot. Would they not shoot if i put my gun away?

**Ghostsuit** · 10th December 2007, 4:23am

Oh wait Sewer, that might be a totally different bit, think you have to fight them unfortunately.

Moldiver · 28th August 2008, 12:07am

Just fucking got out the sewer now lol, now at some sort of base where ive got to steak some document, had a few goes there but still getting killed. Game is doing my head in. Only other game that has beat me like this was Ninja Gaiden

Zippy · 28th August 2008, 10:06am

It took you 9 months to get out the sewer? Are you playing it with your feet?

The_Beer_Baron · 28th August 2008, 10:20am

9 months . . . sheesh. :P

Best plan is to save up for the best armour you can buy at whatever stage you're at, then spend some time scouring for artifacts that add bullet resistance.

I've found stalker has taught me the art of using cover to my advantage, as wading knee-deep into enemies just ends up in me getting turned to minced meat.
However this could also be due to the bug/design flaw where NPCs are able to accurately hit you in the forehead from 200 yards away.

So aye, invest in some good defenses, an AK with a scope then start sniping like crap.

(alternatively you can cheat and go mod the game to all hell, which is actually quite fun.)

Buggy game, but an excellent one nonetheless.

Can't wait for clear skies to come out now.

Moldiver · 28th August 2008, 11:40am

Yeah its been a while but i have only played it a few times since Feb, so its not been constant lol.

The_Beer_Baron · 28th August 2008, 6:33pm

Its a good game to leave and go back to.

Camping in the hotel in prypat gets far too spookey for its own good after a while and one requires a break from the eery silence.

Dyno · 31st August 2008, 7:57pm

Clear Sky should be out soon, I might give it a go despite being heartbrokenly deceived by the first one.
