    Bullet sponge, no realism or immersion. Bad story and very lacking gameplay

    This game is way over-rated in my opinion. It felt like a ripoff of half-life two in a Fallout-3 setting but done very poorly. Both of those games are far better than this collosal waste of time. The graphics arent anything spectacular / the dialogue and storyline are awful / they throw you into the fray with no tutorial at all / the shooting machanics are unrealistic(when you shoot theThis game is way over-rated in my opinion.

The graphics arent anything spectacular / the dialogue and storyline are awful / they throw you into the fray with no tutorial at all / the shooting machanics are unrealistic(when you shoot the enemy in the face six billion times and they dont die but they have one shot one kill ability it feels like dirty pool). Dont waste your money on this game. Im just glad it came in a bundle so I didnt pay full-price for it. I ask myself why this gets such high praise from the critics and even players. We need to set the bar higher folks. I found this this game got me frustrated at best so if thats what you find fun then have at it.… Expand

    I've heard great things about this game, so I decided to buy it. Boy was I surprised when it was as bad as it was. The weapons are so underpowered I had to use almost all of my ammo to kill a single dog, there is hardly a tutorial explaining how to play the game, and the AI is a pile of garbage. This game could be good, but the concept is wasted by it's bugs, making it feel like an alpha version

    Бессмертная классика!

Ну а если та начинаешь растягивать игру, пытаться получить всё оружие и броню, и, в общем, выжать игру до капли - то она пошлёт тебя на три хорошие буквы.

    Это всё потому, что допустим, ты прошёл все до локации Припять, а потом случайно перешел на ЧАЭС, то при попытке загрузки у тебя выскочит фатальная ошибка и завершение работы программы. То же самое случается и если ты пытаешься использовать бинты и прочие подобные расходники из контейнера, не забирая их в инвентарь. И подобных проблем, в целом, много.
    Однако игру я рекомендую. Ведь при первом прохождении, хоть я и немного погриндил, но с подобными проблемами не сталкивался.
    По этому, с точки зрения РПГ игры, с интересным сюжетом и т.д. - она готова. Но с точки зрения игрока, не желающего прощаться с игрой после её финала, наш Сталкерёнок не готов: ведь все перечисленные проблемы не появляются после потенциального финала - они всегда были, но чем дальше от старта ты уходишь тем больше усугубляется ситуация. По этому мой вам совет: держитесь подальше от ЧАЭС!!

    Ну... в общем то всё.

    Удачной охоты, Сталкер!    … Expand

    Самая переоцененная игра в мире, игур так восхваляют хотя это говно мамонта, простая забагованая бродилка бродилка с плохой графикой даже по меркам 2007, не стоит времени даже на это тратить

    переоцененное нечто. интересна только бомжебоярам, у которых ничего помимо сталкера то и не идёт. анекдоты настолько не смешные, что хочется плакать

    Thank you GSC Game World. Your games gave me an unforgettable experience, revived and destroyed the bad legacy of the Slavic Games and just made my childhood more fun.
    I went through many of your games, including Cossacks and others. You gave me love for the atmosphere, not for the graphics.

    I've been waiting for your game for 15 years, and received only a spit in the face. I do not support the war on the territory of Ukraine, but I would rather support the war than that those who bought your games, who appreciated and loved your games, waiting for your games, you just abandoned and lied. You lied about being out of politics and you/your games will not be affected by politics. I am very sorry that you have stooped to the level of such cheap and salable products. I'm not saying that the stalker game series that came out is bad, it's just the only thing I can do so that even Western players from America, Europe and others know what GSC Game World did for their fans. Ratings don't mean anything here. This game and all the rest of the legends, no estimates will dispute this.    … Expand

    As a brave experiment in all-action shootery, STALKER has certainly succeeded, though with its dearth of personality and many peculiar foibles, you can't help but wish that the publishers had granted GSC some extra time to polish their creation. Oh, hang on a minute... [Apr 2007, p.56]

    It's a warped behemoth from the Ukraine, and one of the scariest games on the PC. Stalker will remind you of all kinds of prior games, and yet it will also defy your expectations. Like the mythological Chernobyl zone it is based upon, this game is a treacherous, darkly beautiful terrain. Not everyone is going to enjoy venturing into the zone, but some of those who do will find what they've been looking for.

    Littered with a variety of anomalies which can cause the unwary to explode and other delightful stuff, mutant doggies, deserted buildings, weather effects, real-time day/night cycles etc. etc. - it creates a deliciously unique atmosphere.
