Is this game supposed to be empty and dull? Like, holy shit, there's literally nothing to do outside the quests, that were far too few and short. The zone is fucking empty as well. You only get to shoot a dozen or less stalkers while jogging in the zone all day despite having a thousand bullets in your chest. There's also no point in joining any faction other than to get a bunch of new items and discount. The promised faction wars don't exist.
What's the appeal of this game? Sure it's got lifelike AI and really fine gunplay that was immensely improved from the first game, but other than those aspects it's literally worse than Beth Fallout in every single way. I think Fallout delivered a lot of mediocrity, but STALKER is a whole new level of mediocre.

You realize you're playing CoP, right?
Parker Reyes
Not really faction wars, I just expect small scale fights with a group from an opposite faction. The wiki told me that if I join a faction through achievements, people from the other factions would occasionally attack me. Well, I joined Freedom and I don't even see a Duty or any Stalker for that matter while exploring the zone.

Play Shadow of Chernobyl, you dummy. You wouldn't play the third game in any other series first and you especially wouldn't choose the uninspired sequel made by interns with design concepts taken from theme park MMOs as the first game you'd play of any other series, would you?
Liam Hernandez
The gunplay feels quite crappy compared to CoP, joining Freedom makes progressing the game difficult due to everyone around and INSIDE the bar shooting at you endlessly, making peace with the Duty fucks up the prefetching around the Bar area (too many stalkers hanging at the bar), and the last act (Chernobyl) was absolutely fucking pure shit.

Two things.
1) All three games are 4/10 at best vanilla.
2) What the fuck are you doing playing CoP first?
Christian Kelly
1) mods didn't fix it
2) I played SoC first. It wasn't a boring game, but flawed.
Asher Morgan
You didn't pick good mods. Also CoP is the weakest link in the series, even CS with AO+SRP is better, albeit really short. Every game is flawed, that's such a limp dick non-argument. Go play it with AMK AE 1.4.1 with the tweak pack found in the repo you turd.
