Zero Punctuation: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

[thisguy41487]

I'm surprised that he didn't play on the crashing more. I was expecting a joke on it by at least 1 minute in. Or the Clear Sky trader dying randomly while trading. But my favorite part is when he says that the game reminds us that at the downfall of society we will be just as useless as we are now. HAHAHAHA! Luckily I own an AK-47 so I won't have to worry about wild boars killing me when I'm out looking for sausage rolls in highly radiated areas.

I still think his video "crashing" was funny

 

[rougeknife]

oddly compelling, yes. I enjoyed it.

Despite the fact I made up a tally of all the crashes I had. 25 blue screens of death before the last patch, along with 15 crashes to the desktop is not what I call fun.

But I still came back every time.

LOL holy shit man Yahtzee always gets me with that shit.

LOL the "crash" got me worried, I was about to close my browser, haha. And the crash at the end of the credits was funny too. Great review as well.

 

[duck_the_hitman]

i played it with the 1.5.05 patch, it only crashed 2 times during the whole time i played through the game.

why is Yahtzee only focusing on 1-2 things when there's like 10 more things that can be said?
taders giving you crums for loot?
npc having aimbot for grenade throws?
where's the stalker-soc horror???
and many more...

and you need to spend more time on each point, instead of just mentioning them briefly.
it doesn't feel like your heart's in it anymore ;(

Great job once again. I'm a little excited yet scared about the upcoming Silent Hill Homecoming review. It is going to get ripped a new one.

 

[Stragen]

Good review and very accurate.

+1 from me

u got the log in problem aswell...glad it wernt just me lol havnt been able to log on for a few days, is it the new patch??

 

[JasonCooper]

While there are both official and third-party patches that fix numerous issues mentioned (NPCs having perfect vision, weapons jamming to hell as well as being inaccurate as hell, etc), I agree fully that they shouldn't be needed, GSC should've taken a little more time bugtesting.

 

[Buizel91]

A nice review, as allways. Thanks for cheering me up. Now, if you will excuse me, I will go and check if I'm finally able to log onto my realm in WoW.

Regards,

u have the log on problem aswell, glad it wernt just me, is it cause of the new patch??

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

nice review. looking forward to silent hill next week.

 

[acebrainbuster]

god i always had to do the quick save every enemy was placed in the shitiest place and i had to press it every 2 seconds just to get through half the game... but i still kept playing because it wasn't boring like a lot of other hardass games but it still seems like a sucky combination of an RPG, first person shooter, and a horror game

 

[oshin]

Funny review as always, the crashing parts struck terror into my heart, just as it does any other pc gamer.

 

[jimClassic]

Nice one. Haha! What can I say; I LOLed.

 

[Sir_Montague]

Who is Michael Atkinson? Saw his name at the end of the show... Jw!

Pretty much sums up my experience with the first game.

Why I played it through, I have no idea. Probably the same reason I played Pariah through, just to be done with the shit so I could uninstall it.

Armor that turns into swiss cheese in a few shots from an enemy, forcing you to devote about 66% of your weight and inventory spaces to spare armor, guns that go through their durability faster than a real M249 can destroy its barrel during sustained fire, AND an endurance system that's affected by all this weight you HAVE to carry to remain functional is just sagfzjklhfglzkjhflkghzdfgehntaaryISHIUSHGWSIHHGILEQTPITG

A shame about clear sky, but there are some excellent mods which improve your accuracy, lowers the enemy's and makes them easier to kill. I loved the first game and was very disappionted by clear sky

That shit shouldn't be required to make the game playable. :|

Doom 3 didn't -need- the flashlight mod to make it playable (may have for some people, but pretty much every enemy provided its own light one way or another, and certain weapons played the role of "torch in the dark," which I felt added to the atmosphere well), but enemies who act like they have NVG, perfect aim, and you can't take so much as a lovetap without death, well...
