Thought I'd bring this back to light..

Progressing quite well given the limited time I have to play it. I've just reached Lake Yantar. I'm just searching around for goodies before I go into the complex. I've still not found a sipper riffle.. Think I'll have to go back to the wild area as I know there were a few snippers there..

Generally, really enjoying the game. The massive landscapes are impressive..

This pretty much sucks because after getting the best enviro suit and gun there's not much else to buy as you find everything else you need, so you end up with hundreds of thousands of rubles at the end that you can't drop or spend - a huge flaw I feel. There's just no value in having money in the game.

If it was possible to do your own thing and not have to do the exact same main missions I would play through it again. One day I might but not any time soon. A real shame because the potential for this was HUGE. They just needed to make it more open-plan, harder to accrue wealth and put a few junked but repairable vehicles in the game.

Oh and anomalies are nowhere near as good as I thought they'd be; you have a sensor that goes off if you go near them FFS, like you can't see them anyway. Don't think I strayed into one at all.

Artefacts are a little buggy too. If you get two of the blue sphere artifacts and attach them to your belt, you can run for ever! And there's one that is supposed to prevent bleeding from wounds but it actually makes you bleed permanently. Chuck it, quick!

At the end do not go to the Wishgranter but walk further and find a secret stair that leads to the real ending (I read it in a FAQ on IGN)



I really like this game, I did every sidequest and currently just arrived in Pripyat where you snipe the enemies on the roofs.

I've that once your in there's no return!

I've tried to do every side quest but i'm failing most of them. . . One that is bugging me is finding the Meat artifact ???

It is a yellow artifact you can find later on in the game, I also got one as a reward from a sidequest.

I am close to the end and I think I have 4 now and I did the find quest twice so I had 6
