Stalker games are cool- they take some getting use to- they will pause sometimes loading the area what ever it does. Do not move your mouse or any keys and wait- sometimes up to 2 minutes or so- it will start working again. FO3 etc will never recover- both can freeze hard lock- but fo3 is worst or after soc patch 1003 or 04 anyway. Patch 10004 fixed all main quest bugs. Some things like the military warehouse or blind dog tails for the scientist might still bug and some side missions like take the base what ever loop over and over- but they are cool- you can do them over and over and get paid. Most will fix its self if you use an older save or re spawn back into a area.
I think many folks never really gave stalker soc a chance and it was bugged when it came out and can be complicated or confusing. All of it added together and most bugs fixed- it all works and fits together and you are use to the game and know how to play it- its cool- its like no other. It can suck you in like hl2 and being gordon- buts its quirky. After awhile- you start to make up in your mind- well the game is buggy its affected buy radiation or an anomaly or something. You feel like you are in the zone and the sounds and look and lighting what ever- it just sucks you in. It sharpens your game play skills too. Stealth and your aim- normally only head shots kill any thing. The quirky stuff just seems to fit and is a part of the half assed killing life of the zone. Lil is perfect and less than that lasts in the zone. It is like real life.. Then add kill or be killed and survival and collecting goods to sell or hoard. No other game is like stalker.
I love my stalker games..
