Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl at $5 on Steam until Monday

Normally priced at $19.99, Shadow of Chernobyl is a steal at $5; however, as solid as the FPS is, it also includes numerous video game storyline cliches like an amnesiac protagonist and flesh-hunting mutants. Where are all the games with flesh-hunting amnesiac mutants, right?

But that's $5 I could use for an ice cream cone or a $5 hooker for the night because my wife doesn't show me any attention and calls me fat.

Don't you get it? THE WORLD IS ENDING IN 2012!!!
cyphid @ Oct 27th 2009 11:16PM
Alright! I might actually get this! I finally have a good computer to play the game! When the game came out years ago I had a crap computer.

how many times can they discount this game already? I lost counts on the number of time that game was on sale on steam. can't seem to remember if I paid 5$ or 1$ for it in the past.

Ha! A reversal of the US and Australian pricing for once. The game is only US$3.75 for Aussies right now:

Yeah, I was really surprised about that. It looks like they were trying to compensate for the AUD and fell a bit short.
Oh, and I love Steam sales. Better use of money than crack, anyway.

The download will be available 13 hours after you purchase it. Don't worry, it's just Valve time.

The Oblivion Lost mod for this game is really great.
AoE @ Oct 28th 2009 12:05AM
Thanks for the tip! I picked Stalker up during the D2D sale a few weeks and haven't had a chance to dig into it yet... it looks like this is a mod that I should install BEFORE my first playthrough?
Juan @ Oct 28th 2009 12:33AM
I was just about to order this game off Amazon too! I just hope my computer can run it.
CH3BURASHKA @ Oct 28th 2009 12:33AM
Does it run on 7?
MisterSquared @ Oct 28th 2009 12:41AM
did it run on Vista?
CH3BURASHKA @ Oct 28th 2009 12:44AM
Buh-dun TCHSH....
AoE @ Oct 28th 2009 12:53AM
It runs fine for me on Vista x64, so I'd imagine it'll run fine on Win7 as well. :)
CaramelZappa @ Oct 28th 2009 1:47AM
Also running on Vista 64, and it runs great.

WTF is that?! I would shit a brick if that ting popped out of nowhere
Azerael @ Oct 28th 2009 8:58AM
I shit a brick many times in Stalker, it's amazing how well the atmosphere combined with fairly good AI sets you up for some good (unscripted, usually) scares here and there.
michas_pi @ Oct 28th 2009 11:58AM
Show me what's for sale.
ImSteevin @ Oct 28th 2009 3:56PM
DO IT.
