Nonsense title is nonsense. \8-P All I wanted to do here was blast chimeras out of the air with a Saiga but all the other monsters kept getting in the way. Plus, there's no way to predict whether or not a chimera will leap at you. You can usually tell when it's going to jump right before it does, but when it's charging at you, you just don't know for sure if it's going to leap or if it'll just run up you and claw you.

You know what would work amazing against all mutants in Stalker?

The GM-94. Multi-shot launcher, perfect exterminator.

You know what's interesting?

It was cut from Stalker. Even present is the GM-94 icon in the icon file (a different icon file, unused, but still in Stalker archives).

@AETrainingDavid97 I remember seeing the icon file on a website somewheres. Top-fed reverse pump-action 43mm launcher. Yes, please.

Those awsome weapons would still be in the game if THQ was'nt that bitchy.

@TommyBloxxer What's THQ's deal anyway? Why did they hold GSC back from achieving ultimate excellence? I mean, GSC achieved excellence, sure, but could have achieved even moar without THQ's interference. That is, if my info is correct. Didn't THQ force them to change things and make certain things less awesome for no reason? And yet it still turned out awesome.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@IggyHazard THQ forced them to "release it sooner."

Dean Sharpe, a guy at THQ who was an as*hole, said that GSC was just too ambitious.

It was around the time of Build 1935 I believe that he said that. Yet almost ALL of the builds have complete, functioning features, such as true alife.

In the end, THQ made GSC cut so many things, that cutting the features made it longer to release.

Score 1 for THQ's stupidity.

@AETrainingDavid97 My INTJness can't comprehend the concept of being "to0 ambitious."

Around the production of alpha build 2205, THQ told GSC that the free game world they where trying to create all the time was'nt going to work, and forced them to release the game much earlier. Alpha build 1935 was the last alpha that actually had everything stalker was supposed to have. (source: GSC forums).

Well, atleast the end release was still awesome. just not that awesome as it was supposed to be.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@IggyHazard The builds were even almost complete! Just a working story, and it would be a game!

But THQ thought it was too ambitious as you said.

There is no such thing as too ambitious.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@TommyBloxxer I HATE THQ after hearing what they did to GSC.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@IggyHazard Once I get my hands on Maya 8.5 - version required to modify and make models for Stalker - I just might give it a try ;)
