Aren't those requirements "a bit " too high for a old graphics engine ?

Does anyone know how the mp is gonna be in this game?

If the MP is anything like the one of the original it's gonna be nothing but a gimmick to put on the retail box description that doesn't even come close to the fun of the singleplayer game.

I already played the mp of this game yesterday , it's like the crysis mp , u get rank and u get weapons

is it massive? how many players can join a server? Do you reckon ppl can host a server for it or is it the same with hosting bf2? You have to hire a service instead of dealing with your own hardware and software installation and such.

i only saw 32 players servers , but u can actually try the russian cracked game , it works on the internet , unfortunately i had a ping of 500 and my game was running in slide-show and i had to exit .

_________________

doesn't that mean you can't play it (with the russian cracked game)~

The game works on the internet as is original

_________________

can you play with 500 ping? I sure can't, hence I said "you can't play with it")

Actually u can't play it cause the game wa released only in russia and Hungary atm, so ...

_________________

which is it?

The minimum requirements are the same as Shadow of Chernobyl. The recommended are a little higher because of the new DX9 and DX10 features.

if its like the stalker - shadow of shernobyl multiplayer i wont try it atleast, the single player is ftw aswell

The single player looks more fun , i made some pictures of clear sky and chernobyl , i'll show u how different are the graphics , it's just like a new game .

_________________

Have you been in any new areas yet?

No , the game is in russian 100% russian , u can't understand ^%&$ , i only captured an outpost with some friends from the camp , the graphics from clear sky are extremely detailed i just felt in love with them , u start like in chernobyl , the camp is similar . the weapons animations are much better , Ai intelligent and more ...

_________________

Are there any new types of food? Do you have a sleeping bag? Have you had your first blowout? Is the sky as gloomy as it was in Shadow of Chernobyl? MOAR QUESTIONZ.

All i can say is the game is *(^%ing close to reality , soft shadows , volumetric smoke , i didn't had some new items , at the begining u recieve a 2-barrel-shotgun and a pistol , the inventory is changed i dunno what to say more

7 / 10

Apparently if you wanna run the improved Graphics/Lighting, a top end current gen card isn't enough to do it at large monitor resolution (1680x1050 and above).

I'm actually dissappointed reading the review, I was gonna buy this on Friday and was quite looking forward to it, even though I barely played STALKER:SOC... Now I'm definately putting my money towards SPORE(tm) instead!!!

Yes that's how grenades work. They KILL YOU. Oh hey guess what, you stand near a grenade, YOU'RE GONNA DIE. What, were you expecting some casual COD4 grenade indicators? Guess what you don't have that luxury in the real world.

You're not forced to do anything. Kill ONE stalker or bandit, take his weapon, oh guess what, YOU HAVE A GOOD WEAPON. Learn to play.

It is fairly difficult to fire an assault rifle with one hand, in case you've never fired a gun before.

It's tense and ominous first time around, but from thereon in it's just miserable trudging to a nearby shack and then standing still for three or four minutes. By the third time one happens it's nothing more than a massive annoyance, forcing you to drop whatever you're doing and go do nothing instead. Nice idea, miserable implementation.

What, everyone loved Blowouts in Oblivion Lost. Clearly the reviewer does not know what the hell he's talking about.

All the reviews (from other sites aswell, and one from a REALLY well respected and good taste journo (Kieron Gillen)) are starting to come in, and every one of them says it's dissapointing and not as good as the original...

I also WANTED to like this, DrBob, but you can't argue that a turd with tinsel on it is a christmas tree - it's not, it's still just a turd with tinsel on it.....

These are people that loved the first one, yet they say this isn't as good - I'm not sure WHY you're arguing with that when you haven't played the game? :S

Apuglies?

Damn I loved Shadow of CHernobyl and now I love Clear Sky even more ...... when it works. I've never seen such a buggy game ever, just about everything has a problem with it.

If your thinking of getting it then wait a month or so till some more patches have come out, right now it's an exercise in futitlity to try and complete the game. Not that that will stop me trying, though if they don't fix the issue of having to resart the game everytime you patch it'll get even more frustrating.

I haven't encountered any game-breaking bugs. My game already had the 1.5.1 patch.
