I like how you ridicule me for having a different opinion on video games and not enjoying the same type of games as you. I do enjoy some linearity in games because running around aimlessly for hours on end with no idea if I'm advancing in the game or not just doesn't bring me any sort of excitement. Another poster asked for people's opinion of the game and I gave my honest opinion. Obviously a lot of people enjoy the series because it spawned two sequels and continues to draw new people in. I'm sorry I didn't enjoy your favorite game, I will now commit seppuku to save my family's honor.You needed a big arrow pointing to the next quest update, and Stalker didn't have one, so you gave up. I like how you thought you were "supposed" to go somewhere. Did it ever occur to you to decide for yourself what you were going to do next? Neither Borderlands or Mass Effect are open world. They're almost totally linear, plot based games that hold your hand at every stage, especially the Mass Effect series, which is essentially "playing" a movie script. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those games, but they are nothing like STALKER.
I'm planning on getting the Stalker Series (SoC through the THQ Pack, and the rest through today's Daily Deals). Should I start playing with the Complete mod from the get-go?

Decided to check out the King Arthur game...can't really go wrong for $3.
im looking for something worth getting but nothing yet. those indie games might be great but thats not what im looking for.
I would. The Complete mod does not change the core game play, but fixes a lot of bugs, updates the graphics, and adds very little to alter the game play from it's intended original release. You won't miss anything from the vanilla version and overall playability is much better.
thanks to this thread gonna pick up defense grid.
edit: here's a good gameplay video showing Stalker SOC with 2009 Complete:

If it comes up again and you didnt get it, BUY JUST CAUSE 2. I've been like a crackhead playing it religiously.
Tropico 3 is also SOOOO GOOD. Very good recommendations in this thread.
DG is also good, I can't get into it as much as I did Tropico. DG is fairly slow paced, at least in the beginning. I hope the levels get longer and more intricate.

They do, and if you want to speed up the combat, after you've BUILT your defense and are just waiting on the waves to arrive, you can hold F on your keyboard, it will speed up combat untill you release F, that should help you with the pacing issue.
Oh, sweet. I hated the waiting on waves. I'd just minimize it and come back to the game 20 minutes later to see if I won or lost... lol.
They remind me of the floating boss guy in HL2E2, the one that killed Eli Vance.
I find laser weapons to be bad, especially Tesla towers, I put more stock into red tower Gun, cannon, and Inferno towers.
I'm fond of Meteor towers too, but don't build too many of those.
omg spoiler alert!!
i LOVE open world games, and prefer them to the linear games but something about stalker (with the complete mod installed) just didn't keep me interested. It was rather boring to me, and well I didn't have any interest to continue playing. Keep in mind I own all three and have played all three, i've give it chances with each release just never could keep me motivated to play.It wasn't ridicule, it was also an observation of the type of people that dislike STALKER. Didn't you read my post? I said I also like the games you said you liked. You said little about why you disliked Stalker, only that you couldn't figure it out because the world was too big and you couldn't figure out where to go. That's not an opinion, that's a lack of willingness to learn or figure things out for yourself. If you can't do that stuff, or don't want to in gaming, you won't enjoy the series. You took it personally, when it was merely, like your post, a personal opinion.

I'm thinking of Deus Ex and Monkey Island. Never played either and don't now much about them.
Opinions?
