Didn't really get too much of the plot right now. All I know is that the game start of with you selecting your main character & seem to be escorted in a jeep by some African dude. When you reach your destination you start going all fuzzy & when you wake up you realise you have contracted malaria. What I remember vaguely is that some guy is threatening me & then when I gain control there is war happening below the apartment. I get hit, press 'H' & remove the bullet out of my arm & take some pill. Fall down & wake up in some odd place only to realise I have to be part of some faction & these guys want me to clear some missions. So off I go. :D

Mind numbing......the grafix, the realism and the effects. The game is just mind-blowing. The fire spreads with wind, single branches or a bunch of branches fall of the tree based on the power it was shot at, you can repair your car if its broke, your player has to force out bullets from his bodies if he's seriously injured, etc.......all this makes this game very realistic and immersive. I am playing at all High with fire effects at Very High @1440x900 and getting a steady 35-40FPS.

Story is kinda OKish. See my post to know about the story so GTA definitly beats it there. Compared to Crysis, the visuals are at par with it. A little less than it for the matter of the fact but the thing is that the game scales really well and the Dunia Engine has no bugs, lock-ups and crashed. Atleast it didnt crash or lock-up for 1.5hrs straight. Gameplay is definitly better than Crysis. The shooting and the realism is much better than it. The freedom is MUCH less compared to a GTA (obviously) but WAY more than Crysis. All in all, its better than Crysis but we cant compare it with GTA coz its a different style and genre of game.

Dunno :D.

BTW, its difficult. The game by default has no crosshair though you can enable it from the Options :|. The AI is good and tough. Your health is low and depletes quite fast.

you have to heal to stop bleeding after getting shot, if i remember its the "]" button on your keyboard.
Better see the controls and do heal when you are shot or else your life will deplete until u bleed to death.

Isnt it realistic...lolz...me so likes it.

Few more things:

Watch out in your inventory screen for yellow bar, if its filled up then you are affected with radiation. You need radiation pills. And yeah putiing some of the artifacts in your belt will give you power but at the side effect of irradiating you slowly, so that may cause the radiation death. Its better not to use such artifacts and till you get artifacts which are much better.

Another thing red is health, blue is armor. Armor will deplete slowly. Red medikits will only fill your health, Blue medikits will prevent bleeding and fill up your health too, Yello medikits will remove radiation and fill health too. So use them judiciously.

Vodka can remove radiation and radiation pills can also remove radiation. Some artifacts which you will find later in game will increase your power to sustain in radiated environments. Look out for these upgrade version of artifacts. And when you are near a radiation field your gieger counter will beep like crazy teet...teet...tee.teet.teet.teet.

I hope it helps.

Sorry for late reply. I have shifted my jouse so no internet available yet.
Btw the blue armor doesn't deplete ever. And i have a lot of cash but i don't know where to buy armor, new suits and specifically ammo. I am always low on ammo. I hate this part of the game that ammo is not in abundance.

there are 5 traders, one in cordon, other at bar, another at Duty base, at Freedom base and then at Yantar (Scientist).

But hell yeah what are you doing, I never had ammo problem...lolz. Beside check for dead corpses and loot the ammo. The best trick is to use the guns for which the ammo is abundant in that area.

Also go to the stashes (purple circles shown in map shown in you pda) and you will find items including ammo. You will get info about hidden stashes when you search dead bodies.

Have you patched your game to latest patch? The armor (blue bar) depletes more frequently then.

I will suggest you to switch to AKM 74U (the one with green handle and looks like INSAS) when you reach Garbage. And try to find scope for it.

There are over 30 weapons, choose the ones which suits your style.
*i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/stalkerweapons.jpg

And always have one shotgun with you. Use pistols wherever possible to take out minor threats, especially dogs. But for Pseudodogs use something more powerful as they are a little b!tchy in tearing your flesh.

Lastly take the advantage according to circumstances. Think before you do anything.
