Top 15 Sifters of All Time
Top 15 Sifters of the Past Week
Lastly, I'll admit the AI had some real problems perpetuating states between saves. I remember in the first one having to fight off 8 Monolith guys at once. I killed a couple, quick saved, and when I loaded the rest had forgotten I existed.
For my part, this is a buggy game but still one of the most enjoyable in years.
It's a great time for gamers right now. Between now and Christmas I plan to play Far Cry 2, GTA 4 PC version, Left for Dead, and Mirror's Edge PC version. Funnily even though I loved Stalker I don't feel compelled to pick up Clear Sky.
Add Fallout 3 and Fable 2 to that list, and the same prettymuch goes for me.
Wait six or eight months for a few more patches though, and then buy it when you're tired of all of the holiday-season releases and the price has come down to $20. If you buy it now it WILL crash. This is not a computer dependent thing where some people have problems with it crashing, it crashes randomly for *everyone*.
Liked the review, pretty spot on. It's interesting because I usually haven't, and don't intend to, play the games he reviews. Excellent ending too, of course.
I think it is good, but I would definitely take the advice above and wait 6-8 months for some patches to come out and the price to come down.
Till then, play Fallout 3
Sadly, I think this is one of the only ZP reviews I don't agree with completely. He clearly didn't understand a lot about the game and didn't play the first one... Frankly, he totally missed the whole story because, again, he tried to play an EXPANSION without playing the normal game through first. It explains why there are anomolies and why it's all centered around Chernobyl.
Clear Sky is a stand alone game, not an expansion and it's a prequel taking place before the events of the first STALKER, so Clear Sky should be explaining what happened and why there are anomalies around?
I like the first STALKER, but I haven't picked up Clear Sky yet. The main reason is the DRM, activation and limited install crap, but mainly because I learned my lesson from the first one. The first one didn't have any show stopping bugs or crashes, but when they did patch it, it was not compatible with saved games so you had to start over from scratch if you patched. I'll pick up Clear Sky after they iron out all the bugs, and remove the DRM, activation and limited install BS.
I haven't finished the first one yet, and I'm still using the original version because I didn't want to have to go through everything again. I'd planned to finish it, patch it and replay it, but I got distracted with other games. I've gone back and played it a few times. I know I'm close to the end, but I just haven't gone back to finish it.
-AI grenade accuracy is sick. Quick save often, because if the enemy has grenades, you are going to die a lot.
-No clipping on NPCs, and they love to block doorways. Why can't you nudge them? They sure as shit nudge you. This is most problematic when you are fighting alongside NPCs that PUSH YOU OUT INTO THE OPEN.
-Enemies can you see you at night, even if your flashlight is off. Using the cover of darkness to sneak up on the military outpost would be awesome, but they see you creeping in from 100 yards.
-The stamina system. You run out of energy too quickly for the amount of ground you must cover. You can pay to be escorted (i.e. teleported) but it can be very expensive and money is tight in this game.
-One of the major components to this game is the faction warfare. In some areas, you aid one faction in ridding the map of another faction, and your results are measurable. I.e., you don't see as many red dots on the map anymore. What I don't get is that you can't ever completely eradicate them. In some areas, you can destroy a little encampment over and over, but they always return. Maybe the game wouldn't be as fun with no enemy factions, but it could have been thought through more.
What I like about Clear Sky:
-the weapon upgrade system--gives you a huge range of weapon combos.
-the faction wars--working with the NPCs to push through enemy outposts is still great fun, even though you can't completely eradicate them in some areas.
-the slow pace--in the beginning of the game, you don't see much in the way of mutants. as the game goes on, you start to see them more and more, and it freaks you out more.
-the new anomaly system--makes anomaly hunting more fun, and more rewarding imo
I wonder whether he had that crash gag in mind for a while, or if he came up with it for this one in particular? Regardless, hilarious.
Big upvote, just for the ending alone.
