Poll: Fallout 3 or STALKER Clear Sky?

Do you have Shadow of Chernobyl? Get that over Clear Sky. Fallout 3 is utterly amazing, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R games are much more challenging than Fallout, as Fallout 3 is egregiously easy, and that sometimes gets in the way. As with anything comparing two games, decide which you prefer the idea of. Neither is outright better.
Lucky. I should probably try that, see what happens.Jedamethis said:
The part that pisses me off is that I couldn't do anything but suck up to them. Its not like I only want 2 options, kill all or bend over backwards for them. There are gradients between "do everything and suck up to annoying kids" and "kill all annoying kids". There are areas of grey there. But they don't even give the extreme choices. Ugh Fallout 3's plot and various "choices" make me rage. Hell, the whole plot is full of insane amounts of holes. For example, your trying to fix a water purification machine, but Megaton already has one! And if you blew up megaton, those little robot bulters give you six glasses a day through condensation. You wouldn't even need to build robots for condensation. Plus, he wants to destroy a device that can turn the wasteland into a paradise, just for some fresh water that you can get in many different, less paradise destroying ways. On top of this, purifying all the water kills the Mirelurks, destroying a large food source in the wasteland. Its just unbelievable how stupid it all is.
AH! If anyone needs me, I'll be in the angry dome!

Which I actually did. Then I felt bad, so I tried talking to him again.
Me: "Lets try this again, help me get through here."
McCready: "Fuck you you mungo shit-butt!"
Then I blacked out, and when I came to I had no more mini-nukes, and the entire area was coated in radiation and dead bodies.

Stalker. I'm playing Clear Sky right now, and I love it just as much as Soc. The weapon modding is an awesome addition, but the worst part about it is the nade spam. But luckily a mod has fixed that for me.
Stalker original no doubt. Mainly because the game world feels pretty big but there is also alot to do and shoot and no empty areas. It's white knuckle difficult but still within reason. The atmosphere of the game alone is just gutwrenchingly good.
Fallout 3 on the other hand is a big open area with very few things to do or shoot at. And if you go looking for stuff to shoot all you are going to do is get out of ammo fast if your a new player. The atmosphere is apocalyptic but soons get ruined by Samy tight corridor/vault/cave/subway shooting blah. Has the too much lootable areas and close to nothing in them stupidity.

Have not played STALKER but have played Metro 2033 which is said to have similar elements with it.
But really I'd go for Fallout 3 as you can have alot more playtime with it and there is a lot more exploration. And as for the issue of not being able to kill Children (which you will desperately want to do!), there is a website dedicated to Fallout 3 mods, which I shan't post for fear of getting in trouble here, but there is a mod there which can allow you to kill the little bastards!
But get both if you aren't sure.

Fallout 3 if you do choose fallout get the game of the year edition because it comes with all 5 DLC packs
It also has 1/10th of the depth and immersion. In fallout 3 everything is connected. Your actions influence long term interactions with other characters, and characters acknowledge each other. They aren't just static nameless undiscriminated non player characters standing in the same place all day giving you quest #32. They feel like real people. No other game comes even close to fallout 3 in that aspect, not even much more advanced rpg's like Bioware's stuff.Charcharo said:
There is a reason people still play Fallout 3 after they've finished it 3 times and done every single quest in the game, there's still stuff to be found and to be learned, and different interactions to be had.
This is the one aspect of fallout 3 that overshadows every single bug and glitch and flaw that would otherwise turn Fallout 3 into a crappy game. Place STALKER in Fallout 3's game engine. Would you ever play STALKER again? I don't think so.
Yes, I do love Fallout 3, while being one of the most glitchy and flawed games of this generation, it's still as close as any game has gotten to perfection in my opinion. You are free to have your own, but no matter what you say I still stand by my conviction that Fallout 3 is about 5 billion times ahead of STALKER.
