The good thing about getting to the real endings, is that you get to play that last additional level.
Beat the game with 7900GS. Playing again with new vga. The game is awesome.

Give that a try. I reinstalled Stalker today with that and a few loot mods, and I almost shat when I saw it. Never really noticed how flat/artificial the weather looked originally.
I think this might be a x1950pro-specific issue. When I was trying to find a solution, everyone having this problem seemed to be running the same card (and people running different cards reported no FPS drop whatsoever during lightning strikes)....then when the thunderstorms would come, would cripple my FPS.

You see, this x1950pro is cursed, everyone told me it was a better buy than the 7900GS, everyone including myself was convinced, and look what happens.
dirtypop, I'd congratulate you for finishing the game, but I think you've discovered how much fun it is on your own!
My eyes bugged out the first time Chernobyl had a blowoff. I ran behind some concrete beams like a little girl.
See, I cringe every time I post my love of the game and someone says "gee I'll have to put the time into it then" because I worry they won't fall in the niche and they'll be really bitter about it.
So tread carefully.

Sooo...
Anyone know about when Clear Sky comes out?
Just reflecting back on that blowoff sequence: the engine did some really cool things with colors. The creepy brain melt sequences and blowoff gave a really neat effect that you don't see in other engines.
No doubt. But honestly, you can get maybe 2 or 3 hit kills with the pistol.Most people just don't know how to play games like Crysis and STALKER. You can't just run around shooting everything and always hitting. This isn't Quake 3. Hide behind objects and walls and don't expect to snipe people and get one-hit-kills with pistols. Play smart.
Yes, the guns got better as you go along but honestly, I was good to go with the pistol. Played the game on the hardest setting a died a little on the first level but no much ater that. For me the trick was use cover, always shot from a stationary position preferably crouched and then find cover. Rinse, repeat. Whenever possible take a position from above. The last push to the reactor got a little tough with Helio and all those damn soldeirs but once you are in the reactor it and the last level for the good ending was pure cake.YES! OKAY! I finally beat the game. I'm beginning to see what y'all were talking about. The guns in the beginning were definitely gimped. You don't get the goods til right at the end...

I am looking forward to a sequel.
I really enjoyed the "mind fuck" effect that the one mutant could do. The one that sent your vision speeding towards it. In addition you got progressively more woozy the more the mutant was able to do it to you.
Was that in the underground tunnel when you were on your way to the Strelok hideout and had the army there?That was def the coolest critter in the game, but the one that turned invisible scared the crap out of me the first time it got me.
It's scary, much scarier than FEAR IMO. However, it's not scary "in the same way". The atmosphere in some of the underground missions can be absolutely amazing.You're making me want to buy this game... and I already have a couple of great games I haven't gotten much through yet ! Got a question though... is it scary like FEAR, or not very scary? I honestly didn't enjoy FEAR even just in the demo .

I didn't find FEAR at all scary, but I nearly shat in Stalker. It's that sort of 'scary'.
FEAR = Things jumping out at you going "boo" at predictable moments.
Stalker = A persistent sense of malaise and unsettlement brought about by brilliant sound design and a sense of atmosphere, with things scuttling around in the dark, and you thinking they're going to go "boo" but never being quite sure when.
And then they jump out at you going "ARGHAGRAHRGARGRAGHAR" and you piss your pants and run away, whilst firing madly at it to make it stop.
STALKER was just plain wicked good fun.
I think I went through it three times, and it was better each time.

I could not install the Oblivion Lost mod on my version of STALKER, it's a Russian version, but still...@Citezen86
Oblivion lost, abc inferno, and amk are the biggest and most popular mods. There are a ton more that change just a few things with the game
mmmmhhh - that's the one.Yup. You head down a long hallway, hear a roar, and he comes from behind.
The game sounds frightening... I'll remember to bring an extra change of panties when I start it up again.
Question: Do you guys play with any mods? There are quite a few now.
Nah, I was talking the first pistol. I think folks that had problems with it just weren't using cover and taking the time to aim.Well, there IS a similar pistol to the Desert Eagle which fires sniper rounds. I just could not let myself use it... I mean SNIPER rounds in a pistol.... I would rather get mah headshots!
Ok, how about "cupcakes"? My main point being the game even on the hardest setting was not as hard as a lot people whinned. To be honest, I was amazed at the choirs crying about how difficult the game was supposed to be.Well, I don't like calling things "easy as cake" or just "easy" but yes the last level was not too hard I guess.

By the time you start getting assualt rifles with scopes, the challenge drops big time.
