Where can I get the patch?

Man, that blows.

One good single-player change is that now money is worth something. Traders have some decent items (The Trader Cid has a Merc Suit and Stalker Suit for sale, which is cool). The bad news is that now armor degrades (after a while your %15 rad protection suit drops down to %4 rad protection), and people can't find a way to repair it. This is gamebreaking IMO, as it's unfair to expect me to keep finding new SEVA suits. And no, the Freedom base vendor dude does not repair armor in the patch, according to some Stalker forums.

Blows harder. I came across a SEVA suit and bad bellybutton weaponry early on by wandering into non mission areas. I thought I was lucky and felt invincible for a bit. I am now to the point where these weapons are common (for the given location and area of plot). It just gave me a bad feeling about the pacing and development of one's character. Seems disjointed ya know?

A great game, but it could have been so much more. It feels buggy and unfinished. Disappointing... [/B]

Agree. Broken and incompletable missions are my biggest annoyance. I can't gain certain factions' trust due to the mission leader accidentally offing themselves; unable to collect reward. NPCs and fellow stalkers aren't very interesting. You meet one and you've met them all... stalkers have little or nothing to trade.

Good intentions, great concept, under developed, and meh.

I had pretty much the same gear loadout as you, Oct, but I patched and restarted, and am now very upset that I'll eventually get a SEVA and be unable to repair it.... I patched in the hopes that the various unspecified gameplay and balance issues would be worthwhile, but now I don't know.

Fortunately it's still a fun game, but it won't be epic like Fallout is. Speaking of which, supposedly Fallout3 is in the works.

Link on Fallout3? Fallout 1 and 2 were Awsome.

There's very little news about it, but the rights are acquired and supposedly Bethesda is working on it.

[UPDATE] The official story: Taking time out of a multicity trip, jet-setting Bethesda vice president of marketing Pete Hines got back to GameSpot. "Yes, we have said before folks are working on it and have been, but we won't say what stage it's in," he said. "In short, no, nothing's changed, no details, no platforms, etc. We give the same answers regardless of who is asking. It will be a while still until we unveil, until then we aren't saying anything."

Did you just quote an article that says it doesn't say anything???

I sill hate you all until this week-end.

Engine · « **Reply #66 on:** March 29, 2007, 07:20:56 AM »

Yep! All anyone knows is that someone is allegedly working on Fallout3.

Think I'll skip this patch and wait for the next one. I'm having very few problems with the game as it is now.

Quick question. The box says you have to have a 64k connection to play. Does that mean to play every time or just the first time? I only have dial up so I need to know before I buy it.

Engine · « **Reply #69 on:** March 29, 2007, 12:27:05 PM »

I wish I had done so, instead of wasting all my work. Now I'm stuck with a degrading SEVA suit whose stats will be the same as a Bandit jacket after a few missions.

As I know for this moment, there are 7 different ends. 2 of them are true ends and 5 are false.

You don't need a connection at all to play the single player game, only for online "death match" type multi player games.

True/false? How can a end be "false"?

Engine · « **Reply #74 on:** April 02, 2007, 12:24:08 PM »

Because you didn't find out a secret about the thing at the end.

I just beat it, but replayability enjoyment drops way down due to all the bugs and general gameplay annoyances, so I won't play STALKER again until GSC gets the problems fixed.
