to kill someone or something known as "Strelok" (Marksman). In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, players take the role of the Marked One, a mysterious amnesiac Stalker who awakens in the Zone with nothing except a strange "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." tattoo on his arm, and the knowledge that he has a mission. However, no Stalker has managed to reach the center of the Zone, as the path is blocked by a powerful barrier known as the Brain Scorcher which melts the minds of any humans who attempt to penetrate into the Center. The legend goes that the Wish Granter will grant a Stalker's heart's desire. Tales among the Stalkers tell of a legendary artifact known as the "Wish Granter", located at the very center of the Zone inside the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant itself. Nonetheless, fortune-hunting trespassers known as "Stalkers" make a living exploring the Zone and seeking out the miraculous "artifacts" created by the Zone's anomalies.
The Zone is full of dangers, from lethal pockets of radiation, to packs of dangerous mutants, and a wide assortment of violent, body-crushing anomalies.
The game takes place in the Zone of Exclusion (known simply as the Zone) around the infamous Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a bleak and terrifying "Man-Made Hell" following the nuclear accident that originally created the Zone, as well as a mysterious second explosion in 2006 which resulted in the creation of bizarre, seemingly impossible space-time anomalies and homicidal mutants.
The game is somewhat of a combination of the two, taking the novel's general premise and combining it with the atmosphere of the movie to create a truly haunting game experience. It is loosely based on the Russian novel Roadside Picnic, as well as the visually stunning Russian film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky, which was based on the novel.
It's also crazy when someone managed to kill a merchant in SOC being inside you can't shoot but someone threw a grenade or don't know what.Also SOC is a pretty unique game good on it's own if you know what you need to do, but don't know about the mod part, did enjoy it still.Ĭlear sky is not preferable for the vanilla game finale pretty much glitched, but more to my luck since i was using horrible armor scientist suit or something and that was pretty bad for the finale how many times i got killed because of that.Īlso how they made bloodsuckers hittable here is devastating bad.S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a Wide-Open Sandbox First-Person Shooter by Ukrainian video game studio GSC Game World. Shadow of chernobyl i really don't know anymore since i played it back in the day, would feel like a pretty limited experience since it's missing those call of pripyat features and it probably has some bugs somewhere though not sure. One mission did glitch out since i couldn't get the papers from some guy into my inventory which was somehow important for mission or ending but that was a long time ago i played it, still fnished the game. Call of pripyat is the most polished game of all stalker games, for some reason i enjoyed call of pripyat the most.
Though i've never used mods on any stalker games or most of video games i played. Call of pripyat not really, the game is pretty enjoyable without mods too.
