Looks really amazing. It would be really cool to have a game look that good. Even though it would have crazy system requirements. They fired the guy that did Niko's voice though; he probably won't be in GTA 5.

GTA 5 needs to be in Detroit. I can just see it. "Grand Theft Auto: Motor City"
It fits in with all of the other names. ;D

I just got this mod (the full one not LE) and the game looks amazing. I have one major complaint though. With the new character models the characters mouths don't move and their facial expressions do not change. This take a lot of the personality out of the characters and makes them kind of boring. The visuals are amazing though.

  looks beautiful like most of your maps.

I opened up fraps while playing the beta and noticed that I was only getting 15-20 fps. It's on low at 1440x900  :-X I thought it was a bit choppy before but I didn't expect 15 fps. I didn't expect it to be this hard on requirements. Time for me to get a new computer I guess, but first I need a job.  :'(

I wonder what influenced them to call it aardvark... I'm gonna have to try this the next time I have a question.

Thanks.

I just spent the last 6 days playing the hell out of this game and I have to admit, it is the most fun I have ever had with a video game. While the main story is slow to develope the atmosphere, side missions, and AI characters more than make up for it. I have played it for well over 10 hours and I'm not even at Pripyat yet. (the majority of the game)

About S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Based on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident in 1986 "The Zone" as it is called has started to change. Deadly mutants and anomalies have popped up all over the zone. Despite these terrible changes the zone has created many mysterious items, know as artifacts. Artifacts sell for an extremely high price. Stalkers (people who live in the zone) moved there in hopes to find artifacts and get riches; but for most, the journey ends in tragedy. Scientists move to the zone in hopes of making big discoveries inside it. Stalkers form factions and war soon breaks out between them.


Call of Pripyat Storyline
The year is 2012, You are a lieutenant in the Ukranian Military. The military has launched an operation to get to and capture the center of the zone, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It is a dangerous mission since no one has ever got to the center and lived to tell the tale. The military sends 5 scout helicopters to map anomalies for the ground assault. Something goes wrong and all of the choppers crash. Your job is to go undercover as a Stalker and find out what happened to the helicopters. The rest of the story unfolds from there.


Call of Pripyat Gameplay
A bit of a challenge to explain. It is an open-world FPS with some RPG elements. The game is focused on survival and is much more difficult than your average run n' gun game. Plan your attacks carefully; preserve ammo, it is hella expensive; always find cover in a fight, standing in the open will get you killed, and try to avoid anomalies. The game never holds your hand and there are a few missions where it doesn't even tell you where to go. That means that it will give you an objective and a location but it is your job to decide how to finish that objective. My advice is to ask stalkers in the area but that doesn't always solve things.


Bottom Line
The game may not be for everyone, but I find it one of the funnest games available.
