Anyone else replaying this series ? Shadow of Chernobyl: Worst loading times ever like 3 minutes per map. Clear Sky: The faction war was class. Call of pripyat: Awesome story. Freedom Gets Owned Every Time.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is canceled officially via GSC's twitter. They're working on Survarium, a FTP online game with similar themes. Eh. It'll be shit. I love the story in the games... I'll be getting the Northern Passage and Southern Comfort (book series spawned from the games) as soon as I get the $.
Chernobyl. Great game. But, despite it being somewhat sandbox, I really couldn't get into it more than once. Funny story, I kept goading the Special Forces into attacking the village at the start. Awesome battle ensues. Always. Plus a shit load of free stuff. It's too bad there weren't many more of such moments. As far as I can tell the game's NPCs don't respawn.
Pripyat was the best. I accidentally played it first since I got a steam deal and can't get into Chernobyl.
