Not to be nit picky, but STALKER has been on sale for $5 in a lot of places a lot of times before this.

But I think this is the first time you can get it at that price in Europe (well, it's 5 Euro of course…). At least the fucking D2D deal was all region restricted.

What was the other blog that kept track of game sales, the writer used to post here? Not the crappy Savvygamer one, there was a really good one that used to reply to each Bargain Bucket post and then he stopped suddenly. Anyone know?

This f***ing board doesn't work for me. There was supposed to be a comment and this was supposed to be UP THERE somewhere. I give up.

Would you still recommend the LURK mod to someone who has not played/completed on vanilla?

Everyone should play STALKER with the LURK mod installed. I think that for balance of fixes, improvements, and overall feel, LURK has done the best job of delivering what should be the real STALKER experience… And yes, you can repair weapons at the merchant shops…

Not to be nit picky, but STALKER has been on sale for $5 in a lot of places a lot of times before this. Steam’s had this deal at least twice before, D2D has it at this price during the 5th anniversary sale, Gamersgate’s had it marked down to this price etc. Not that I don’t approve strongly of RPS notifying us when a particular favorite is on sale at an insane price or anything, I’m just a little surprised that I keep a closer eye on online sales than you guys do.

Wow, I was totally planning to get Stalker when I was walking home today, thank you very much Steam.

As an aside, I do remember trying this a while back and finding it insanely hard, as in, I died in a hit or two but emptying my clip into a enemies face did nothing, do the mods/patches have any effect on this?

Finally I will pick this up….I basically ignored the whole thing until I started reading RPS and finding how much you guys seem to like it. I missed the last $5 sale, but now it shall be mine….

STALKER is almost more of a tactical FPS, certainly in the beginning, when all your equipment is crap. So this generally means that you should keep close to the ground, use cover a lot and keep moving.

Also important – pick your fights. You should be able to handle bandits (although when the numbers rise, you should only approach them together with a bunch of other Stalkers) but stay away from soldiers.

For what it’s worth, I preferred Oblivion Lost mod to anything else, including Complete 2009 — although C2009 is very pretty. The sheer number of changes in OL is utterly redonkalonk, both reworking AI, fixing bugs etc and greatly improving the sounds and feel of the weapons. There are some graphical improvements too, even if they’re not as extensive as C2009.
