Shacknews stated that STALKER Call of Pripyat offer is time limited (ie. for this weekend only)

Can anybody confirm this?

on steam it say promo, so yes i guess it for limited time only

Hmmm, I guess I won't have that much time to play since I haven't even completed STALKER Clear Sky.

Pass for now and will wait for Mid-Week, Weekend or Christmas Sales.

so hows the game? any comments or anyone here playing?
watched the youtube gameplay its kinda like Fallout 3 but this one is real time FPS

This game is far more difficult than Fallout 3.

Gunplay is better.

No so much interactions with NPCs compared to Fallout 3.

the sound positioning a bit weird i read.

hmmm i saw another game metro 2033 coming out in March, it has the same ambient, surrounding and gameplay lol maybe i shall wait for that instead

Metro 2033 seems to be more "destructive" than Stalker so far from what I see... Still downloading my copy of Stalker CoP from Steam with my S.L.O.W. internet speed, probably will finish by Tuesday...

Since Metro 2033 is developed by someone who original from GSC, I might as well try that game out later , should be a nice game.

I love Stalker, from those trailers I see from YouTube, it seems this time is HELL lot more harder to fight those mutants... The bloodsucker just keep running on and off, hardly see where it is, moreover how to shoot it... Looks nice, this time around the helmet is saperated from suit, and can carry 2 rifle at the same time Definately good changes

IIRC, Metro 2033 has a more linear gameplay path than Stalker; going for a more cinematic route.

Hmm, I am wondering how many maps in CoP, saw from youtube is like 3 very crazy huge map... There is a gigantic bridge, right? Can climb up there or not??

installing now will try it out and comment later !

Damn you ISP... Drop my net speed to SUCH LOW speed (break bandwidth amount already)...

I not going to finish download until NEXT WEEK (next subscription / use or hack uni's wifi...)~

anyone playing already ? I just killed a bunch of mercs... got load of weapons but dont know where to sell them or trade them ... but this game gave me a lot of WTF experiences ... suddenly u can die from some weird anomalies ... and some area things just go high up in the air and it flung towards u ... sometimes killing u ... was killed by a wooden box ...

* Wooden Box hits you for 154521 damage
* You die

"lulwut?"

Can so imagine the kind of face

Is these flying stuff bugs or "normal"?

its normal the people in the game call it anomalies

there are fire, electric, wind, movement etc etc anomalies ... its like mines lol u step on the wrong place, u are died ....

Yup there are anomalies that will throw things to you like boxs or concrete blocks..
For the weapon you can sell it or trade it..

Ok, I knew the anomalies stuff but not that they ended up throwing stuff around, only played a little of the original STALKER yet (too many games, not enough time).

How is Pripyat then? Not too restricted with only 3 maps? Lots of stuff to do in it?

As much as i know the Stalker sries doesn't really look amazing when it comes to the graphic side, but feedback states that the gamplay is really nice. Mesa gona wait for the 3 finger discount on the trilogy pack!!!!

Well yes, the *original* graphic might not as nice, but it more about gameplay anyway. But, if you install those *mods*, you gonna be WOWed by the graphic they edited~!

bro can share the link ? I find that this game stutters quite a lot though

but the environment is freaking awesome loved it when its raining ... the lightning and all are pretty amazing!
