The mutant up there is (barely) living proof that games don't have to be set in the dark to be creepy.
Call of Pripyat, the follow-up to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, is nearing release for those of us not living in Russia or Germany. We can't have our mutants grunting in anything but fluent English, you dig?
PC gamers, especially those looking to justify DirectX 11's existence, will surely want to take note. And if GSC Game World's plans haven't recently changed, there's a chance the series could come to consoles in one form or another once this sequel is all said and done.
Although, the more I think about, mods are so important to these games that it may not even be worth it on anything but a PC.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

It's definitely hate/love for most people, I loved the first game and so did my friends but many people found it cumbersome and boring. It's one of those games that you have to make fun for yourself.
I do love STALKER, there's an excellent game in there but there are just so many layers of shit smeared over it that yo have to be prepared to look past.
Never played clear sky due to the bad press it got but I'd definitely be up for the sequel to the first.

For me, as a PC and console gamer, I prefer to play PC games on the PC if they are designed for it. As such, I had no desire to play KotOR or Jade Empire on the PC either. It's more than simply porting over a title and requires a lot more design work, new code, and new assets in the porting process. Comparing Dragon Age PC to Dragon Age console highlights many of the changes that need to be made for a primarily PC title (that's focused on PC input) to exist on the console.
That said, if you ever do get into PC gaming, STALKER is a rare gem in the crowded game market for fans of shooters and RPGs.
Give it a try with an open mind when Pripyat comes out. From people who have played the Russian release, the bug issues are gone.
