I'm not sure I want to play a beta of Stalker, given how buggy it was supposed to be in the last thing I read about it. Betas of multiplayer games are fine, but a single player like this is as much about the story as the gameplay and I'd rather play it through the first time using the full, unbugged version.

If I win a key I might have to upgrade sooner than I thought!

in this case, it is a multiplayer beta, should've been clearer.

Speaking of upgrades - I've currently got a 128MB 6600GT. Would one of these cards below be worth an upgrade, or would I be needing to upgrade again soon after anyway? Its being offered for sixty notes by someone at work.

Code: Select all

Geforce 6800 GS Chipset 
Manufactered by Point of View 
512 MB DDR2 Memory 
TV Out (Integrated HDTV encoder) 
DVI 
PCI - Express

fairly sure you're just as well off with what you have.

Didn't even know it had a multiplayer. That could be very good if they keep the big world and RPG elements. Kind of like FPS MMONG Fallout.

Right you are. Good job really cos I can't afford it and I already made the decision to buy a PS2 instead, but this early in the month then silly ideas will persist in my mind!

IME big world FPS multiplayer games don't work.

see also: Turok 2, Farcry.

I've already played it: http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/82347 ... Build_2215

Obviously I downloaded that just to look at the graphics, etc.
I'll enter but I'm really more interested in the single player aspect.

Depends how they're done really. Deathmatch in a massive map = fail. MMONG style co-op quests might be rather good.

That

It would be cool to have something like the NOLF 2 co-op missions, but if there were more than 5.

Well if you decide you don't want to upgrade I know someone with a nice shiny machine that'll run it instead

I've played the same b3ta that Spoodie mentioned, for the same reasons (graphics, weapons, upgrades etc).

It's been interesting to say the least. You can't play with anyone I don't think, but it's nice to get a feel for how it'll be when it's all done. Also, aside from some collision/texture/sound issues and being in German/Swedish/Dutch/whatever, it felt quite nice to play. The weather was nice too. I feel S.T.A.L.K.E.R's imminent release date spurred me on to upgrade. Hope it's worth it!
