Loved the original STALKER, but Clear Sky is such a poorly coded, bug-addled, slow-running even on a monster rig mess that I'm done with the STALKER series unless I hear they've cleaned up their act (and engine code).

The first was far too scary for me. Seriously.

@TarnishedReputation: I know man, that one scene in the tunnels? Pure terror. I was panicking! I was shooting it, but it wasn't going down, I literally felt cornered, so I charged it and died, instead of going up the ladder.

Looks cool.

Although at first I thought he was getting attacked by the roaming Gnome.

I guess that would have been pretty flippin scary too, now that I think about it.

I didn't really like the original all that much, I finished it but it left me feeling unfulfilled. Hence, I didn't pick up Clear Sky.

Can anyone tell me if Clear Sky is an improbement on the first game and if it is, what's been improved?

@-MasterDex-: If you didn't really enjoy the first one then there's probably not much more you would enjoy in the prequel. There are some interface changes like being able to heavily modify equipment, but Clear Sky generally feels about the same as the first one and is shorter.

Don't get me wrong, I loved both of them and can't wait for Pripyat.

@-MasterDex-: I liked the original. I LOVED the original with a fan mod called "Oblivion Lost". I absolutely hated Clear Sky.

@-MasterDex-: I enjoyed SOC a lot once the modders had fixed it up, but Clear Sky I never did like and never finished. In fact I gave the game away to a mate, I hated it that much. They really destroyed the atmosphere from the first game.

I absolutely loved the original and still need to finish Clear Sky. I'll be sure to pick up Pripyat when it comes out. I feel like the STALKER games are two of the most underrated in recent history. Fallout 3, as good and immersive as it is, has got nothing on Shadows of Chernobyl when it comes to atmosphere. And this is coming from someone who was born and raised in DC.

GSC ships early but they always give after launch support and lots of patches and the games themselves are really fun and, yes atmospheric. They're just damn good survival shooter games, in my honest opinion. I've enjoyed both STALKERS previously and will buy this one as well.
