I can't speak for the other two, but I thought FEAR was generic and boring. After playing the demo for the original, I haven't bothered with it since.
I agree completely
And that's exactly how I felt when I tried STALKER. Kirkus, why should I have to research online in order to understand in-game story elements? That's a failure on the part of the game, if anything. Storyline elements should be revealed while the story is being told, not after the fact.
Then again, I didn't care much for Oblivion's atmosphere, either. There were too many dungeons that just felt meaningless. Neato, another bandit lord... oh look, ogres took over this cave... whoopee. The gameplay was great, I enjoyed all of the quest paths, and the main storyline was awesome. So many of the optional parts of the game just felt like filler.
The funniest thing is that the modern Chernobyl area is actually full of beautiful flora and fauna. Obviously you don't want to live there, but nature somehow endures. That's not a complaint about the game.
Have you seen the children that are born horribly deformed in that area? Nature might endure, but the genetic lines of everything in the area are forever changed.
Here, I'll bold the part of my post that you missed...

What about Merriweather? ......... Badum bump.
Count me in for a vote for the best game of 2007. All the eagerly anticipated games like GOW, Timeshift, Crysis, or the early DX10's even (Lost Planet, COJ) all pale in comparison to the atmosphere of Stalker. You kind of appreciate it or you don't it sounds like. There are a fair amount of adult gamers out there. I don't know if anyone feels the same way I do, but you'd better get/keep my attention somehow - whether it be a new gimic like bullet time or portals or unreal graphics or AI, etc. (I'll just check the "I think I'm getting out of PC Gaming" threads to see who feels the same way). And while there wasn't always immediate action, it was the environment and the desolation, and the isolation from normal civilization that actually kept the game interesting IMO. It was kind of waiting to see what I was going to run into next that was fun. I haven't even touched any of the mods other than the float32 one.
In addition, following the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, there is still a large piece of contaminated land which has not been fenced off. Vladimir Chuprov, who heads the energy section of Russian Greenpeace, told ABC News that a significant part of confiscated radioactive materials come from this area.
"Part of what is brought in comes from Chernobyl and the zone around Chernobyl," he said. "If there was no Chernobyl, there would be no problem with radioactive materials."
Pavel Felgenhauer, a Moscow-based military analyst, told ABC News that a blackmarket for radioactive materials does exist in Russia but that it is not very serious and does not pose any great risk.
"What happens quite often is that those involved sell the stuff to each other -- and often to the criminal underworld. This is radioactive material -- not nuclear, not enriched plutonium and nothing to do with nuclear weapons."

I added mods to increase endurance, prevent degrading armor, and prevent degrading weapons. However, even though I can load OLD SAVED GAMES, none of my new saved games will load. This means if i manually save or quicksave a game after doing something, die, then try to reload the save, it crashes. TO make it more confusing, the autosave after a zone change WILL LOAD.
What the hell do i do? I finally got powerful sniper rifles and artifacts! I can't find a solution to this problem on any board either

Have you installed the mod through the smart mod installer? Have you installed both 1.005 and gamedata files?

It's original. It's atmospheric. And it blows open a promising new sub-genre in the FPS category.

I haven't either. Never even logged onto the multiplay thing cause I think of it primarily as SP. If they decide to forego it in Clearsky, I wouldn't mind.

Oh, and i know for a fact that 2 threads have been made on this topic but i can't find them, so i'll ask here instead of making a new post.
What are some of the best mods for stalker? I'm not sure what is out there so i can't really say what i want, but more creepy and smarter AI's and new environments if that is available/good. I've already gone through the game once and would really like a new experience going through again.

Also, what are the best artifacts to carry? Right now I have 3 of the +200% health ones and 1 of the +400% health ones on me, and it seems to make my HP go up pretty fast when I'm not in combat. I'm not sure if it does anything other than that, or if it is worth it to get that -30% or -40% to my Impact, Rupture, and Bulletproof Cap stats (although admittedly I don't know what any of those do either, yay).
