S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

[GriLtCheeZ]

Anybody play this game? I started playing it cause it was compared to Metro 2033. I know it's old, but I built my budget gaming rig a little over a year and a half ago, well after it came out. Now there are tons of mods for this game and it appears to live on pretty strong.

I just installed STALKER Complete 2009 which should do the trick. Any mod recommendations?

Any other games I may have missed in the last three years? I generally like shooters and sports games. Except for the Deathmatch demo, I've never played Half Life 2 for instance.

Anyone play Day of Defeat: Source?

Peace

STALKER is made by 4A who also did Metro 2033 so yeah, it's similar. SOC was generally well received but I can't say I've played it. If it has the same atmosphere and pacing as Metro 2033 it is probably a decent game or better.

For shooters there are a few games you should look into...

It is 100% worth your while to pick up an old copy of Orange Box which includes Half-Life 2 as well as the add-on's (Episodes 1 & 2). The game has aged a little but it is arguably the best shooter of all time so it is not something you should miss. Portal is also something that is a must-play if you haven't tried it yet--bonus too since it is also on the Orange Box DVDs.

Sticking with the Valve theme you should try Left 4 Dead and the sequel. Both great games.

The FEAR series is pretty good too if you haven't played it yet.

The series is ok. The first game is awesome though.

I have played DoD:S on the PC and it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm sure it was a great game back when it was released.

Thanks guys!

I've played Portal when Steam gave it away for free. That shit was fun.

Add me on Steam.

Add me on Steam.

I swear I have you on my steam already, but we never played the same games. I got a friend request from some dude in Texas and preceeded to kill him in MW2 3 times with friendly fire in one game on Hardcore. Not used to friendly fire I should probably get CS!

What games are you playing right now?

I'm really into Stalker right now. It's awesome with the COMPLETE 2009 mod installed.
