Indeed it is. The scariest, most realistic game I've ever played. Free roaming shooter, basically. Its the meaning of survival horror gaming.

I've played it.  It was pretty good.  Still wish they'd make a DECENT/GOOD sequel to Deus Ex.

The hippies aren't peaceful, they pack some pretty powerful weapons.

I don't care if their shooting rabid chickens out of a cannon, so long as I get to kill 'em.

Let me guess: You don't like hippies. Right?

Actually, I don't really care about hippies that much. There's just too much delicious irony in a FPS that involves hippies in anyway to ignore.

Ah, I see. So you would just shoot them cause they're there?

It's a FPS, you tend to shoot everything that's there; hippies, preppies, emos, goths, gomos, prephippies, hipsters, conservatives, liberals, Asians, Africans, Americans, Europeans, crackdealers, crackheads, black folk, white folk, humans, aliens, hell spawn demons, etc.

The FPS is true equality. Everyone is equally a target.

LOL. OK, I'd do the same. I also would shoot anyone I meet. No matter who. Even if it's Angela Merkel (German chancelor <-- is this spelt the right way?).

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Stalker doesn't have hippies, emos, etc.

Its about people who go to Chernobyl and try to make money, and survive. It has monsters, firefights, horror, etc. But... no hippies. o_O

So, those Monolith dudes don't count as hippies?

Oh well, they're all the same dead at any rate.

I enjoyed Vampire:The Masquerade - Bloodlines and just draining the blood from the hippies, preppies, emos, goths, gomos, prephippies, hipsters, conservatives, liberals, Asians, Africans, Americans, Europeans, crackdealers, crackheads, black folk, white folk, humans, aliens, hell spawn demons, etc.

Can shoot... but much more satisfying draining them of all blood.

But that one with the long hair with the Acoustic Guitar singing around a fire. How is that not a hippy?

They all have military hair cuts, and playing a guitar=hippish? Huh.

Monolith were like Christians, not hippies. <_<

Christians or wacked out Christian loonies?

Cause if it's the second one, that's 10X better than hippies.

Second one, though the only difference between the two is ignorance.

Mostly ignorance, though with a few splashes of ego, close mindedness, and zealotry for good measure.

YES. i couldn't remember if that was their name. they're fighting Duty on the one side, which are like, statists, and the religious loons on the other side, + zombies, mutants, military, and rogue stalkers.

you kind of have to side with duty or freedom in some situations. or neither; but anyways. killing either freedom or duty is tedious because they have entire bases with lots of idiots to shoot at you.

the songs played at the fire are not hippy songs. and besides, they all speak russian. russians are too paranoid to be hippies. freedom is as close as it gets.

Freedom are Anarchists and like to kill people. They're vigilantes if anything, but not hippies.

Post by: Joker on January 26, 2008, 04:52:17 pm
They're hippies, they always tell you to mellow out and several are clearly high.

Also I love Duty. Not for their ideology, but because it's easier to love them than to fight your war through the Bar. Plus I like their guns, it feels weird using modern NATO weapons IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING UKRAINE.

oh yeah... the ones with the launchers. not so great for sniping though. what about the guns the monoliths use?

I remember the arena... i haven't had that much fun in a game in ages.
