While this greatly enhances the realism and atmosphere of the game, it can also greatly reduce performance.
(tl dr - this game can be /downright terrifying/ when it wants to be.Sun Shadow: When enabled, the Sun is a dynamic light source (depending on your Renderer chosen), and as such all objects can cast shadows from their exposure to the sun. Jesus, there are some missions, even to this day, that give me the shivers. Seriously, the atmosphere of the outdoor areas, and ESPECIALLY certain indoor areas, is why I plowed through the bugginess. The atmosphere in this game is superb, and to be honest, I've not seen it really replicated in any other modern game. Do them for fun, not necessarily for the express purpose of completing them. Random missions can be great fun, but keep in mind they're buggy. Being an overburdened packrat will also get you killed. Slowly and stealthily creeping around is paramount in many cases running around guns blazing as if there were a "normal FPS" will likely just get you killed. You'd be dead before you even hear the gunshot. You're not Gordon Freeman - an NPC can, and sometimes will, snipe you in the head from way across the map. So that's where all my experience and advice comes from.Īs has likely been mentioned over and over again, pick your battles. The game's fairly buggy by default I suspect back then I just learned to "roll with the crashes", as it were. In hindsight, I'm not entirely certain how I managed that, but there it is. I've completed this game without patching or modding. In fact, not fighting when you don't have to is a good plan in general. You gain nothing from fighting them, so try not to. Even if you live, you've probably wasted too much ammo (those bastards can be hard to hit, and soak up surprisingly many bullets). If you don't have a good gun you need to use ambush, grenades, lots of cover, and patsies. The best option is engaging from out of your enemy's range, but this requires a good gun. You are outnumbered, and if you engage on fair terms you will die. Once you have a scoped rifle you can finally be considered 'armed'.ĭo not ever fight fair. Use this until you can get an MP5, and that until you can find an assault rifle. Due to the abovementioned 'bullets hurt' you will need to stealth as close as you can and make extensive use of cover to get this close. This has even *less* range (how is that possible?), but if you get right into someone's face and fire both barrels they will die. As soon as possible replace it with a sawnoff. Your starting PM Makarov is roughly as effective as spitting at your opponent. Clear sky is definitely worth the play but I haven't had a chance to pick up Pripyat. Last thing i can think of is.there are two other games in the series.Clear sky and Call of Pripyat. There are several endings depending on the choices you make towards the end.have fun with those. As Darting Flea said.the game gets rough in some spots. Quick save and Quick load are your friends. And don't skimp on the stuff to keep you alive and healthy. You'll get some decent armor and artifacts down the road.I wouldn't try to buy the expensive stuff early on. If you're not bothered losing a bit of realism or by a little text editing, fix the max carry weight to something that will allow you to loot what you come across without having to make several trips back and forth to town each time you get into a firefight.ĭon't despair about how bad of a shot you are at first.as you go through the game (and become a "more experienced stalker") the game has a sort of behind the scenes leveling system that improves the behind the scene stats that handle combat variables.
