Сталкер - виклик Прип'ять (Stalker - Call of Pripyat)

[brinstar]

Just released yesterday. Whereas Clear Sky was a prequel to the original, CoP is a true sequel.

Notable awesomeness just in the first four hours of play:
-greatly improved optimization over Clear Sky. Runs MUCH smoother and thus far no crashes.
-UI is much more useful/helpful
-enemy AI is bonkers, i haven't really faced many humans yet but the snorks, bloodsuckers, and the other things are all VERY nasty

i read that the devs hunkered down and spent most of their energy retooling the enemy AI, so i'm really looking forward to that. plus their reproduction of the city of pripyat itself is supposed to be extremely faithful and authentic.

gonna play the fuck out of this game ya'll

Nice. I relly enjoyed the first Stalker, but I just couldn't get into the second game, although I liked the AI in it.

ha i just finished a minor quest with the bartender, the prompt you give him is "Have any military personnel been coming around?"

Think about it. What would those jarheads be doing in our camp? Trust me when I say that they prefer to steer well clear of this place. Too many of us here remember what it was like to crawl through dirt at the Cordon, under fire from their damn machine guns...

(in case you didn't read my other stalker thread, this is a direct reference to the invincible gatling gun with pinpoint accuracy that saws people in half near the beginning of Clear Sky)

This is my favourite Stalker game now. Fixed all the shit that always annoyed me, tweaked the UI, AI can still kick your ass. Great game so far.

i wonder if my shit computer could even play this on low

[brinstar]

if you were able to get clear sky up and running, CoP should work fine

CoP actually runs better than CS on my box

[Drem]

oh ok great to hear. love stalker. after i finish everything in fallout 3 i'll definitely be playing CoP

Just finished this game up tonight. The end part was actually kind of hard.


Also pitch black lab + sound of baby crying = kind of freaky
