@jonrskitlez Indeed. There is some certain charm in game done in ex-Soviet area. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. from Ukraine, Witcher and Painkiller from Poland, Cryostasis and other great games from Russia.
What the games lack in graphics or in performance, they make up with incredible atmosphere and/or gameplay.
@Empowerless Cryostasis is from Ukraine too, not from Russian. You forgot Metro 2033, developed by 4A Games (at team made offormer GSC: Gameworld members), it's also a good game, maybe not as good as STALKER or Cryostasis, but recommendable nonetheless. Metro also sports great graphics, but it's slightly better optimized that the other 2 games.
@Xerxes1688 Cryostasis from Ukraine as well? Great! I have borrowed Metro 2033 but I still haven't completed it. It feels almost "too" optimized and streamlined game compared to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. The game feels so far like an american blockbuster shooter in terms of gameplay and graphics (not in terms of atmosphere) which is what I escape from by playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
@Empowerless Metro is more of a console shooter (it came for the 360 as well), that's why it feel streamiled, a bit dumbed down and optimized for consolesque controls, whereas Cryostasis and STALKER are PC only games, that's why they are so great. I too prefer games like STALKER or Cryo, rather than the mainstream FPS meant for the CoD and Halo crowds.
I still dont understand the ending of the fairy tale story (The story of Danko and the villagers). Anyways, 1C really produce out good and unique games from Russia and Ukraine I reckon, the storylines are refreshing with a distinct way of telling a story in Russian style.
I think I was making fun of someone's grammar or something. Had nothing to do with the game, actually.
But, in any case, the English version doesn't have crap voice acting -- I can assure you of this. I wouldn't know about the translation, but it was pretty good for me, obviously.
I was actually surprised to see how good both the translation and voice acting were.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I´m not saying I didn´t like the game,, but come on!!! dead since the beginning? how can you come up with that? for all I know during the game, I felt, woke up in a hole next to a gate that mysteriously leads to the ship, and at the very very end you found out that Chronos empty the sea and you were going to die half of mile away of the ship! what I´m saying is that is not well narrate, would you compare it with the narrative in Bioshock? with it´s 2 mayor twist during the game?
I really like the game, it is a real beuty to the eyes once you download the 1.1 patch but wtf with the story?? I did not get shit! what is the reason of all the hard work if you can change the whole damm thing by giving a fucking scale ship to the captain? what about the door at the reactor that you can not access unless everything is destroy? wtf with danke and his stupid people? this russians guys are really fuck in the head...
You are dead during the whole game. Chronos, the god of time, gave you the chance to save the crew and the ship in order to save yourself. So you change the past to change the future. The story about Danko and his fellows is obviously a symbolization of the captain and his crew. Yeah, the game has a complex storyline and you have to think hard, to get all the context. Only, because you were to lazy to think and used to mow-spray-'n'-run games the developers aren't 'fucked in the head'. Cheers
I think you're right :) i really find this ending beatiful and the game has a great story a really great story but it's not for anyone you have to think to understand the ending unlike other games. And is the Danko story an actual tale or was it designed for the game ?
At the end credit role it says passages were taken from Maxim Gorky's short story The Old Woman Izergil, that I googled it and I think the dating was 1895 or something. So I guess a modern narrative of an old allegory?
You are infact DEAD at the BEGINNING of the game, but as you progress through the tutorials you save yourself. So you are not dead the rest of the game.
@ELITEXardas00 thanks! now I understand the game! is really quite complex, even for those who have very little knowledge or interest for mythology (like me)
By possessing the chief engineer when he berates the despondent captain upon hearing the news, the player may choose instead to cheer up the captain by offering him a scale model of his ship. Finally, when the captain is trying to free the ship and is incapacitated by a window shattering in his face, the player may choose to have the chief security officer go to his side and help him up, rather than assisting the first officer.
By possessing the soul of the first officer when he brings the telegraph regarding impending decommissioning to the captain and questions the captain's competence, the player may choose instead to descend into the ship, helping the crew with repairs and discarding the telegraph. This results in the captain not losing his morale, and the crew never losing faith in the captain.
Going back to the idea pestarzt had, that is the correct way to get the three endings. Just jump on different fingers. I completed them all in one game, via loading an old save file.
It would be interesting to see what difference the polar bear makes, though.
And, again, anyone know the song that starts around 6:30? It's wonderful.
Is it an alternate ending? I've seen another video and there is something tottaly different - captain is alive and you are bringing him a model of a bout.
yup, i had that ending too. but i think it has something to do with of what finger you jump off at the end. each one brings another flashback and possibilty to change past.
i dont understand shit in the plot of the game. except the part that you're the only one sent to investigate the reason of this catastrophe. and what does the story in the intro has to do with the plot? i cant understand.
well in the intro when your man feel off his sled into that icy cravess he died! but changing the fate of the ships crew saved not only the people on the boat but your own life as well.
I had an HD4850 and the temperature went to like 90°c WHILE the fan was on 70%! So yeah, I don't reccommend playing this game if you have an ATI card...until the patch comes.
and yeah this game is kinda lagy and slow , blame the Russian codding skills ... lets hope the US/EUR version will be more optimized , specially on ATIs , you can't even start this game if you have this card or play with reasonable speeds
Yes Its like STALKER but i have Mailed them and they says they will realise several Patch that fix the gameplay and laggs and all the lagg stuff my ATi had to work 50% hardder then normaly to play the game adn several scenses where it lagged but not mutch and i playe with high realoution and high settings
Do not blame the coding skills, it is because it is a PhysX game, anything that moves is based on that, nVidia has that built onto the cards for better optimization, ATi does not. That is why it is slow.
this game is completely mad dogs nightmare. you start near the ship in arctic and end in the space. cmon.
