I honestly am bit baffled how some people can still hold the second game in the STALKER series in good regard. As for me this was one of the most tedious and unsatisfying game in series I have ever played. One of few good things. We can finally repair and upgrade armor and weapons. But then you realize you are hanging on this system cause good chunk of weapons won't be accurate to hit anything closer than 3 meters. And even if they hit: MAN does gunplay feel off. A bandit in raincoat should not tank 5 shotgun shells at almost point blank range. If SOC did ok with it's gunplay and that game had worst pistol in gaming history (Makarov PM) then I gotta ask: What happened here? AI is also on new level of bad. Military sitting outside house while I am inside firing bullets into their heads with silenced pistol and having no reaction as it penetrates theirs skulls. And grenade spam? The moment you hear someone "Catch a grenade" you better make a plan in next second to leave cover as his whole squad will IN SYNC throw 100% accurate grenade right next your feet. Doesn't even matter what cover you are as I have witnessed with my own eyes grenades going through solid objects ( In this case a…3 found this helpful
A very underrated game in the og S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy. I enjoyed it a lot, even more than Shadow Of Chernobyl honestly. It is also the most beautiful game out of the three, the skies look so gorgeous. Fit's the name "Clear Sky". And as a bonus Scar is the most badass protag from the series. Do make sure to install the SRP mod tho. It fixes a lot of bugs and script issues while keeping the game fully vanilla.1 found this helpful
Dont larp, play Shadow of Chernobyl first
Great game, better than 2
Just finished playing S.T.A.K.E.R. Clear Sky. The game is genuinely beautiful, but the finale was one of the biggest disappointments in all time I've played games. Maybe if I took a longer route and got all the heals I could, I would've made my experience easier, but I've suffered immense mental torment. No heals, enemies kept throwing grenades at me non-stop, gun kept jamming, kept bleeding and couldn't move, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything. Maybe I'm a noob or smth, but it was a terrible experience, and nobody is gonna give me my nerves back. I almost finished the game but I couldn't bring myself to do that. It's the worst time I've ever had playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
