I think the replies to your post show you how much of a following there is. The game is …. an acquired taste. Personally I started it 4 times before I ever got to the garbage but once I got into it I’v considered it one of the best games I’v ever played

I admit, I’d be worried if my girlfriend went to a place with so many Stalker-ish guys.

So there ARE women in the Zone. No, that can’t be… The Cosplay looks a bit silly, however the LARP/Airsoft-events looks like awesome fun! Too bad it’s in Ukraine. Not to mention the language barrier… :(

Oblivion lost is a horrible pile of other mod parts, all the best parts of it are stolen from the AMK mod.

If you’ve only tried OL, you owe it to yourself to check AMK out.

This does however require the 1.0004 patch, but TRUST ME, it’s well worth it.

I second Justin.

It’s odd, and oddly vindicating, yet ticklingly perturbing as well.

Grigorovich did a little interview during this event and he answered the question about western release delay.

Simple math: stalker is a phenomenon in former-USSR countries, so it’s released on schedule there, stalker was also very successful in Germany, so November ’09 for germans, but in all other Western European countries and in US stalker was just another good game which sold well, just another one in charts. The decision was made to evade competition and move the release date from the crowded september-Xmas period, so there you go — Jan-Feb ’10 release date.

I know western stalker fans will probably say “Oh, those greedy bastard devs!!!”. But hey, come on, gamedev biz is cruel, not the devs. This move may actually increase budget (read “quality”) for stalker 2 or whatever they call it.

Call of Pripyat is already out on the other side of the world, and the map files have already been pulled apart and used within the Shadow of Chernobyl game by modders. That’s an assumption on my part.

This is wierd, like being the only person you know who has seen Star Wars, and then going to San Diego Comic Con.
