@sourav

[Faun]

^^yeah, true. You will be on teleportation spree. And last level in the toughest. Be prepared to run and shoot. Don't stay at one place or else you are toast.

Get the yellow medkits. You will encounter lots of radiation with countless hordes of enemies that too with the best of best armors. Headshot ftw !

I never carried any pistol.

 

[Piyush]

yes
and if u dont have any yellow medkits then u should and must equip 2 crystals and 1 moonlight in ur belt

and yes
there was a bug with the artefact "urchin"
its stats are to reduce radiation and increase bleeding

but the bug is it decreases bleeding too

 

[funkysourav]

Okay ran like crazy through the chopper stage
entered the dark corridors of the NPP

got my first Gauss Gun!!
Dumped the GP37
Totally loving the Vintar and VLA! its awesome to say the least
perfect tunnel fighter accentuated by the dark and low light conditions
perfect stealth weapon

Damn
if i hide and start shooting some group of exo-monoliths they don't even realise that someone is shooting them
usually the window of opportunity for stealth is 10 secs, by then the entire squad is down on head-shots

on the other hand if i use the Tunder, they immediately detect me and come in hordes and even start shooting through walls WTF!!
are they superman or something

BTW
i totally shat in my pants when i head the booming heavy voice calling out to me in Russian
" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx come near" or that's what it tells me in my head

 

[Piyush]

yeah
this whole conversation was in russian when the military attacked their base in heli
its converted version is on a site
dunno the name btw

 

[Faun]

Yeah, that was the level where you had to run for your life before the blowout.

on the other hand if i use the Tunder, they immediately detect me and come in hordes and even start shooting through walls WTF!!
are they superman or something

In my case stealth was broken so the only point was to take down strategically by running and hiding.
Anyway, you will have many close encounters soon. There wont be any opportunity to sneak around and take out.

 

[funkysourav]

finished the game finally!!
@Piyush & Faun
the last stage was freakin awesome !!!
jumping from portal to portal (did they imitate Portal? )
the gauss gun wasn't as good as i expected,
some NPC's required 3-4 shots to be killed(not counting headshots)
on the other hand the Vintar was aweeessooomee
i carried 900rounds for it so ended up using it extensively
awesome at sniping, great at point blank range(AP bullets)

i encountered 3 different endings
1)i agreed to be part of the C-Consciousness, they put me in a glass coffin
2)loaded a previous save and had the "raining rubble" ending from wishgranter (I want to be rich!!)
3)And the canonical ending
"i don't know if i was right or wrong,
but i made it, i know i should be thankful"
at last Strelok/Marked One is at peace
awesomee!!

 

[Faun]

^^I too got "I want to be rich" ending.

This was the only game in series with an awesome ending.

 

[funkysourav]

are the other two games not as good as this?

 

[Faun]

^^It's my personal opinion but I had lot more fun in SOC. Especially the underground levels and labs.

But you should play the other 2 parts too if you liked this one.

 

[Piyush]

good that u completed the game
if u want more then try Call of Pripyat
th story is lil bit boring in the beginning
but it quickly catches up in the end
and the side mission are god
couple of new mutants,weapons and artefacts too

 

[funkysourav]

^^
what abt Clear Sky?

 

[Piyush]

never played it
only know that its the least fav in all 3 games of S.T.A.L.K.E.R series

 

[sameer.pur]

I played both Shadows of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat. (more than once.
But never played enough of Clear Sky. Didn't liked it from the first level, so skipped it.

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Gave Military Dicuments to Barkeep. Now off to dark valley in SHoC.

 

[Faun]

Clear Sky is good once you go beyond Swamp level.

 

[sameer.pur]

^ I played Swamp level and then reached cordon.
That's when I stopped playing. Guess I will try again once.
