Which one do you prefer?

[Griffon]

Well after playing both games and loving them (best two thing to come out of russia) and being in my top 5 favourite games. Which one do you prefer and which one are you looking forward to more?

I personally like the throw you in head first and learn everything yourself difficulty of chernobyl and the free roam aspect of pripyat over the stuning intensity of metro's gameplay and visuals.

Thoughts?

Aren't both games Ukraïnian (how do you pronounce that?)?

Anyway, I prefer Japanese or American games, and I've never played STALKER games and Metro 2033 myself.

But I feel bad for GSC Gameworld, however I feel bad for everyone who lives in the Ukraine, I'm sorry.

(There should be a game where players get to molest the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.)

(No there shouldn't be a game of that. People should be allowed to do that in real life).

Stalker ofcourse.

Stalker has been around for much longer, and there are a lot of mods and freedom that metro simply cannot offer.

But I would prefer Metro 2033.

Theres a sequel planned, metro last light.

You can't really compare Stalker and Metro that much.

But I only played Metro and I thought it was very good. ( A few faults but those arent that bad )

Stalker, because it was there before metro and personally i like stalker more gameplay wise.

[Silver Dot]

STALKER. Metro's okay but STALKER just wins storyline-wise and mechanical wise, it's very well scripted even if it has a few goofy bugs.

...Why? And it's just Ukrainian.

Ukranian with Russian developers.

But I still prefer Metro, they dont do shit with fixing stalker bugs. Also IMO metro is more epic and realystic. Srsly, what would happen if there was an atomic explosion in Moscow? Stalker is just too much imagination... anomalies, zombies, etc dont appear from CAES explosion (probably dont appear from radiation, so thats bullshit), especially that the Japan AES had a moar scale of explosion.

Metro is really realystic and it carries the truth with it.

EDIT: Yes, maybe STALKER had a free space to walk in, but again. Its all the fucking time walking from 1 place to another and thats just a waste of time. Atleast they added enemies on your way. But still... meh.

Though, metro will have Stalker free walking but... I guess it will be nicer, more interesting, you would explore the whole dead city. So I say Metro.

EDIT 2: I'm a Russian, so I know more things about this

Also who read Metro 2033 book would prefer Metro. I assure you all.

I don't know either one of them, but STALKER sounds cooler + I know friends who play it and they are quite positive about it.

Oh yeah... Stalker sounds cooler. I think that Half-life sounds cool too, because its some physics stuff.

Or wait. Mario. Mario beats all up. It is the best game ever, because I like the name. It sounds cooler than all this. (Though, i didnt play it)

Mr. Darkness forgot to read my second point. The first point wasn't meant to be too serious.

[Nobana]

[EmRA]

Nobana, Stalker games are based on "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Both are good games, but Metro was too short.

Metro 2033

Pro:

+ Good Story

+ Good Graphics

+ Artyom

Con:

- Short Story

- On Ranger / Ranger Hardcore you're fked if you don't spend your hole money on filters for your gas mask

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (all 3 parts)

Pro:

+ Nice graphics (always reference @ release)

+ Very good atmosphere

+ Plenty of good mods (Complete Mod for instance)

Con:

- Buggy as hell (CoP wasn't that bad @ release, but still not perfect)

- KI is sometimes very "special"

(Voted 4 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

Since I never played M2033, it's obvious I go for STALKER series. I like the games. But somehow, in the first STALKER, I always end up dying after a few hours of playing without any reason. I reinstalled the games various times to start and play it till the end. Never accomplished that quest.

[BlueYoshi97]

Did you read the book?

[EmRA]

He is reading it at the moment I think.

Recommending it to everyone by the way. Metro 2033.

If a game gets me to read a 500+ paged book (finnish translation lol) with no pictures (other than the map), its got to be something amazing.

[BouweV]

Haven't played/read Metro, all I have seen from that game are cartoon-ish drawings.

Have played STALKER,. but it's not my type of game.

Didn't vote.

There ain't no global apocalyptic accident Metro 2033 is based on so Stalker it is .

No?

The book Metro 2033 came out before STALKER (the game). The game was based on an old russian movie "STALKER" which wasn't even about Chernobyl.

It's about a zone where when you come in it you cant go back, because you will find something different after this.

Actually there are STALKER books, but they are based on the game. (also its wroten by it's fans)

Here we got Metro based on it's book (but not fully though. If they did it right like the book says, the game would be rather longer).

So I shall disagree with you, because even in Chernobyl there isnt much catostrophic accidents for now. Though many people died, but this has nothing to do with STALKER. Metro is about people surviving in underground tunnels, for luck there wasnt an attack from USA with atomic bomb. If there was we (Russians) would all be in Metro now.
