I dont get it i really dont... game of the year 2007 some people have said... wow! Thats a pretty high pedestal to put the game on considering all the good games that were released in 2007.
Ive played it, i didnt complete it but i came close, it just wasent all that great. The loading between areas was a PITA, and it wasent there with oblivion, theres only like 7 different creatures in the game. With a mutated radioactive crazy "zone" i would have expected a LOT more than 7 damn creatures, some of them even look alike, sure theyre interesting but seriously there should have been more, 20-30 maybe with 10 being rare found only underground tough to defeat creatures. The visuals were OK, not great, not terrible they were sufficient. The whole anomaly thing i expected more from, theyre just little graphics that hurt you.... i was expecting maybe a hole in the ground with teeth in it, or one with tentacles or i dunno... something other than pretty lights that hurt you. Also completing some missions for the dukes faction turned the other faction against me, yeah ok it makes sense and its realistic if me and a couple of duke guys run in and kill them all i imagine i wouldnt be their favourite person in the world but there should be some workaround so i can regain their trust, it is a game after all. Plus you have to go all the way back to base to complete the frickin quest and get a reward, thats a real pain ad well.
Overall my main problem was with the zone overall, they said "Living-and-breathing world: virtual monsters and stalkers migrate around the Zone, similarly to the player they are preoccupied with day-to-day things ? feeding, fighting, looking for prey, trading, sleeping, taking rest" Its not living and breathing, i get attacked by the same pack of things that look similar to dogs every time i enter the dukes camp, i always seem to find the same creatures in the same places. Just looking through the manual at some of the names of the anomalies, theres like 20 different ones that all sound pretty interesting but from the game i can remember coming accross 3... That gravity thing that sucks you in, the electric along the floor one, and some green puddle of goo that hurts. Thats about it, what the hell happened to all the other ones?? I get the feeling that some of them look the same but do more damage and were given a completely different name to artifically enhance the amound of anomalies, maybe im wrong but i suspect that was the case.
Nah, i just dont get why some people think its so awesome and brilliant, it dosent click. It couldve been awesome IMO but turned out to be merely average. Why do you stalker fans like it so much??
