STALKER: SoC (Cheap)

Postby Maelstrom on Thu Oct 29, 2009 6:06 am

Steam is doing a deal till the 2nd Nov with the game going for $3.75 to fags in the US or $5 for those in the EU. Played it when it first came out but now with a decent gfx card and an assload of available mods I am thinking of giving it another run through.

Am told that the host of patches have removed most or all of the bugs out there.

The main mod I was thinking of would be Oblivion Lost 2.2. Anyone played it with mods they would recommend?

In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.

It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s.

Awakening in the Zone, you are one such S.T.A.L.K.E.R., fighting for survival in this man-made Hell, while trying to discover the truth behind Chernobyl's sinister past and ominous future.


Oblivion 2.2

Oblivion Lost is supposed to be shit hot. Never got around to playing it though. Finished 99% of the vanilla game. Crackin game once you get into it.

Yeah have installed from steam so I'd imagine its patched up. Having a guest visiting from HK so probably wont get a chance to play till Sunday. Will report back, also very tempted to get The Witcher Enhanced Edition. Heard very good things...

...then again perhaps I should pause on buying games I dont have the time to play. Like XCom:Enemy Unknown which Ive got in preperation for the netbook I will be buying for work (ironically).

Yep that link is to a download of it with dosbox etc.

Also been told of this mod for STALKER, russian based but now AMK has been translated to English. However I was playing the newest STALKER, Call of Pripyat and the English there is fucking awful, wouldnt be suprised if they just used google translate.

Screens look amazing, seems to be a near complete revamp of the graphics so it looks as good as Crysis.
