S.T.A.L.K.E.R. W.T.F.

Maybe I'm not a hardcore PC gamer. I don't want to spend an entire day accomplishing one thing. I want to get my fix then go about my fleshy existence. Since the conception of my new computer I've decided to buy the latest shooter game and stretch my PC's legs .

I picked up S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
(My non-professional opinion)
Its cool I guess but I think meant for the hardcore computer folks that love nothing more than sitting in front of the screen for days at a time drinking coke and eating hot pockets. The shooting though realistic gives the player the feeling that they have zero experience shooting a gun. Maybe I suck, but because of this I die a lot. I find the story very broken and the non-linear path is very hard to stay on. The mutant dogs and walking honey-glazed hams are cool but wouldn't there be a larger catalogue of mutants out there, other then some dogs, pigs and walking hams?. Crows are always flying over head yet there are no mutant birds. I am only like eight hours into it and feel like I've done a lot of walking and have eaten a lot of salami sticks. The game is cool, its not perfect and I don't know if it will keep my interest for much longer but if you like hot pockets and walking holiday meats then this might be right up your alley.
