pretty cool guns, nice story but you can run past it if you want, few cool fights like the black ops, warns you when you are about to engage enemies with sounds, so you dont get fucked suddenly.

Its just that other games, instead of trying to do their own thing, copied HL.

Stalker has nothing to do with RPG. It has no stats or levels. Talking with people and having an inventory is not exclusive to an RPG.

I don't see any way that Stalker and New Vegas are similar. One is a non-linear shooter, other is an open world RPG with guns.
>>
>>376904479
Roleplaying games are literally just about abstractions. Do you think FATAL is the greatest RPG ever made because of all the stats?

>>376904514
>Also seeing different groups fighting each other without player's involvement was cool as fuck.
I still love seeing that in games. It's too bad most games neglect that. Half-Life to me is almost as important as OoT was. It was huge and practically perfect at the time and there haven't been any FPS game like it since.
>>
>>376904565
That is literally what it means. Or else every single game with a defined MC could be called an RPG, because you play a role of a character in any game.

I didn't say that they are similar. The guy was talking about "open world shooters with RPG elements" which they both technically belong to however.
>>
>>376904674
I think that Stalker is not an RPG because there are zero character stats to be developed. It's a shooter with an inventory and a simple dialogue system.
>>

What RPG elements does stalker have?

As someone who's only played X-wing vs Tie Fighter, could you tell me why you think Tie Fighter is the best of the series? I'm not doubting you, I just keep hearing praise for Tie Fighter over the other games like XvT, X-wing Alliance, etc and want to know why.
>>
>>376904928
NV is a pure RPG, I don't know how brain dead somebody has to be to think that that just because both feature a post apocalyptic word (And the one in Stalker is not even an open world, and not post apocalyptic either).

>>376905021
It has as many stats as Half life or call of duty - default walk/run speed and jumping height.

I'm a ukrainian, I have played it probably more than you. It still has no stats. Armor and artifact bonuses are not stats. A character stat is something that you, as a character, can do better or worse. Weapons handling, survival skills, health, hacking, lock-pick. Stalker has zero character stats.

I'm a major Doom fan so I'm biased when I say that I think Doom still hasn't been outclassed after two decades, but that's in terms of gameplay and raw fun value. I can respect your decision for saying Half-Life since it's more technically advanced, has much more to offer in terms of story, and had a modding scene that well rivaled Doom's own, but I'm simply much more invested into Doom and its gameplay and massive amounts of mods and wads. I didn't grow up with the HL mod scene in its prime but I can recognize that it had a great impact on many players back in the day, and I've seen a lot of awesome things come from it.

Me too but my favorite is definitely the first even though it had the most simplistic combat of the three gen6 POP games. I think it was IGN or something that gave it a perfect 10 and even today I'd probably agree with that score. It was essentially a flawless game.

Earning the right to fly that overpowered terror for an entire campaign was worth every minute of dodging shit in unshielded tin cans. I loved the TIE Defender so much, and was crushed when the other expansion campaign was all about some stupid missile spamming shitboat.

Doom is still the grandfather of FPS games so I'm not knocking on its legacy. I grew up with both. But I've already played tons of Doom mods and I've always wanted more Doom-like games and I don't think any surpassed it when it came to the amount of enemies on-screen and such. It's a shame military shooters took over because I still prefer shooting aliens/demons/monsters
