Now I choose to replay it because I am too bored and Timothy's recommendation about the LURK mod. I decided to give it another go and NOW it's fun. It's a First Person Shooter Role Playing Game. Compared to Fallout 3, another First Person Shooter Role Playing Game I played, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is good in terms of the role playing part. The shooting part is smoother that Fallout 3 in my opinion. However, the only thing I do not like is the environment. It's lacking something compared to Bethesda's made environment. Also, unlike Fallout 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R does not have fast travel feature. You got to travel to every location by foot.
Although I do not know much about the vanilla S.T.A.L.K.E.R because I stopped after 2 hours. The LURK mod certainly made the game fun and challenging. Although the AI is just plain dumb at times. Mutants are now on free roam. That means you can fight mutants that can be only found in certain areas. (I fought a damn bloodsucker in the first area which shouldn't be there.) More guns and ammo are added, providing more variety of weaponry to suit your taste.
It's fun and I would recommend it to people who wants to try this game or just have nothing to do. S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat, the third installation to the series is coming next year Q1 if i'm not wrong and it's the sequel. I would want to try S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky, the prequel to the game but I heard it just plain suck. Perhaps I will give it a try someday.
