Umm, my take on stalker games is this. Yes some buggy stuff and I hate it. For the most part the games are great tho. Stalker soc and Fo3 you have to baby both those games- depends on who you speak too is which is more glitchy maybe..
Stalker soc from patch 10004 pretty much fixed the game all missions work- The game is alive so npc's etc can be in battle, a glitch yes maybe- but normally if you exit game restart it and then try to enter the area again fixes it- if while walking around etc and the game does it lil pause- do not touch any keys or anything and wait up to a minute or 2 it will free its self most of the time- If you baby along soc it is a great game and near actual bug free - I think patch 10004 is best.. If a save will not start it must be corrupted- go to a save before it and try again..
Stalker cs seems to run the best of the 3 games but after 10 patches you might not ever get 1 flash drive from cordon and if you save at the npp you might not finish the game or kill Strelok his health bar disappears or freeze stuck. CS was said as hard on a system as crysis when it came out- it runs good for me- I never had or played crysis tho.
Stalker cop Works start to end- It is not buggy per say but it does have some bad slow down points and happens often- I think it is from all the dead bodies laying around- the game does not or will not clear them fast enough or just lets them lay there all game. You can have npc probs in any of three stalker games- it is how the games are and the world is alive- its not just scripted like most other fps games- Normally when that happens a enemy is around a dog or what ever- kill it the bots go back to normal alert.
Stalker games can be enjoyable if you take the time with them and put up with some stuff. I have had my fits with stalker games- but I read a lot and tweak them out- Stalker is not some folks cup of tea. 1 and 3 are less probs and work- I am sad I never finished a cs game.. Cs is the last stalker game I got- got it a few months ago for 10 bucks, I paid full for soc and cop 40 bucks each. I will not pay full for stalker stuff in the future- I do wait for stalker2 said a new in house engine..
Stalker games are great to bench with too.. I have few games that can make me jump out of my skin- and even less that have as good of combat or atmosphere, mods are cool too. Few games challenge me like stalker games- Ha ha bug stuff is maybe just another game mode- and few games today are bug free- so.. Some are more buggy than others is all we can say these days for the most part..
Stalker games are mixed genre games- both fps and rpg= rps I think they are naturally a lil more glitchy- Borderlands and bioshock games are not perfect either.. Fan boys or folks in general can hate and flame or misunderstand me- I point out both the good and the bad in all my games- I can tend to complain about bug or glitch stuff a lot- folks misunderstand and think I do not like the games or something- I am a fan- not a fan boy- I am sorry.. I can be the same way with w7- I like it but it can get on my nerves- I think it is a lot more glitchy or probs than my xp sp2.
Really miss WOW, it's been months since I last played. Anyways, I got Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and it's a pretty terrible game, there hasn't been one "special" mission from the trader where there wasn't a horrible bug. Everytime I feel like I'm getting pulled into the game there's a retarded bug with either NPCs being in combat when there's no one but me around, shouting and pointing their guns at nothing and running around taking cover when all I want is to buy a damn bandage off them. In the end, I just started stabbing them in the face and thinking their brains were made into a paste by the anomalies and I'm purifying the Zone. Anyways, how's Call of Prypiat ? Is it as buggy?
i seriously think its made me a better shooter haha
