Tag Archives: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits…
So, some 3 years ago, I posted that I was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and said I was going to play Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat next.
This was 3 years ago.
Still haven’t played them.
I mean, I started playing CS but got bored.
And of course along the way I found the mod Call of Chernobyl where I can just go and be a Loner on a map with all the locations of the game.
Get out of here S.T.A.L.K.E.R….
Yeah, I’ve been replaying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. (I blame /k/)
And it’s as insipid as I remember.
Which given the overall theme/world the game takes place in is actually a good thing.
Moments of complete boredom splashed with silent desperation and lack of hope.
Areas like Lab X-18, where it is 90% anticipation of doom, 10% some actual threat.
And of course the drab Soviet building style that everyone, everywhere in the world is actually familiar with (at least some distant ‘cousin’ of it), they just don’t admit it and call it “soviet style”, that inherently inspires feelings of hopelessness.
And when I finish playing this, I will (finally!) play the next two games (Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat) which I actually never even touched. (despite really liking SoC)
And this is all, I just felt like writing something.
