Never played it, kinda silly to ask if it is worth it considering it is $4.99 lol but is it?

I think it's worth it. There should be a demo of the game in the steam too. Might be a good idea to check it out.

I think that if you start a new game in expansion it gives all the new features to base game too. Not 100% sure about that... last time I played the game was some years ago.

What a shitty demo.

No server browser (it's in the full game, I think)
Few options, shit menus
Eight player FFA only
Can't change class in game (?)
Can't join friends games in progress (!)
Game looks sorta meh visually (runs great though!)
It takes an hour to find a game (slight exaggeration)

The game could still be good, but this demo is garbage.

And no, that's not John Locke.

I would be lucky to get in, but waiting "around" 1 hour? damn.

I hope the console versions will be faster to find though, but we will see.

BTW, I hate the fact MP games dont have "room selection". I hate auto-matching in MP games.
Atleast they give the PC version a nice 360 controller support, I tend to use it :)

Lol, which part? :)

Anyways, I got into a match, it was FUN!

But man, Aliens got the advantage alot, incredibly fast, so fast that you can most of the time just get away if it gets intense.
One thing I do like about the Aliens in the game is that you can "squeek", quite creepy scream.

Marines was cool I guess, its a regular shooter so there wasent much to do.

Predator, master of gadgets.
Its confusing a bit for sure, its harder to get used to. The cloaking doesnt cloak your entirely, you get these blue color moving around so its not like in the movie were they are completely invincible, unless you have to be completely still, but I dont think that helps.
I didnt manage to get their plasma canon, but I did find their shuriken though, its okay, doesnt look big and cool like the movies.

Some of the kill moves was cool, especially the predators. My favorite was the one were you pull the entire skull and the backbone off the body of the humans, disgusting :P

But I definitely had fun, but I dont like deathmatch though, im more of a team deathmatch guy so it would be fun to be in a team and "kill everything that moves" :)
Some of the screenshots with different species showing battling it out was is pretty cool.

And about the game running on PC...I had the quality on Very High with x1 AA or whatever it was, ran perfectly smooth, though the game isnt exactly "wow", maybe in the single player or different level (i love the jungle level from the screenshots).

Rome and Medieval Total War are awesome if you ask me... Empire on the other hand.
I've got the game since day 1 and played only for like 3 hours... I don't know what it is (maybe the setting) but Empire is the weakest in the series if you ask me...

The fact that you prefer a pad to a kb/m combo is absurd.

It's still a good deal, but I'm not really interested until I play the original.

Yeah. I started the original recently, and it's blowing my mind. The atmosphere is just epic. Walking around at night scares the shit out of me, and seeing a thunderstorm today for the first time was just :O

This mod is a must for who wants play the first Stalker:

Has anyone gotten Stalker: Call of Pripyat during the weekend sale? I just launched the game to see how it runs compared to Shadows of Chernobyl...
I pumped every setting to max in the graphics section and then launced the game.... I don't know what's going on but the game looks worse than Shadows now....
The draw distance of the grass is really horrid (like I said I pumped everything to the maximum level...)

The grass pop-in is pretty bad regardless. However you can improve the look of the game with the AtmosFear mod.

I also recommend the SMRTER mod which adds a lot of new weapons and a shitload of other features (check the list at the link!)
