When it comes down to it, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is by far one of the most immersive first person games ever created hands down. The atmosphere in game is unmatched by any other game out there imo. After playing for couple of minutes the new STALKER Complete 2009 mod here, I was once again hooked on my favorite game. Clear Sky did not match my expectations, eventhough a decent game in it's own right (especially after patches) I still love the original much more, because of the time period in which it takes place and the sheer edge of your seat scares, knowing there are so many mutants and creatures all around the Zone especially at night. Survival horror-ish at times even. The mod merges countless mods together beautifully and not only adds all the eye candy, but also adds many gameplay fixes the game needed from the get go, like the enemies that could spot you from ridiculous distances, even at night (huh?) if you want to sneak up on the enemy now, go right ahead it's possible and a lot of fun. I have played other mods of course (Oblivion Lost, Priboi Story etc etc), but I still enjoy the vanilla storyline best and this mod provides just that. Below are some screenshots I have taken while playing the mod. Can't wait for Call of Pripyat!
