S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series)/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** The final assault on Pripyat in the first game certainly qualifies, with the player and a half-dozen of the most experienced veterans in the Zone fighting their way through a brutal, chaotic warzone while four different factions battle for supremacy around them.

** This happened once to this troper. Once he spotted a group of a military squad and thinks that he could handle them with a pistol, 3 grenades and a sawn-off shotgun. Turns out he can't, so he start running to the rookie village to get some help. Then he realized the actual squad chasing him is ''much'' bigger than he thinks. So he decides to hide while the rest of the village being butchered. As military comes in the house he was hiding he pulls out the sawn-off shotgun and start shooting them one-by-one. In the end, he killed around 10-12 men '''alone'''. Oh, and this is the first few hours of his gameplay.

** One that pops up for the player themselves for a lot of people is their initial venture down below into the sewers, in the first game, where you first encounter a bloodsucker. The weapons and equipment you have by that stage are generally poor, and that single creature is more than enough to either kill you outright or give you a big beating for a crowning moment of your own.

*** That area forces you into a very tight, narrow corridor to get around a huge generator. You can't climb over it. You see the bloodsucker on the other side of the room. You move into the corridor expecting it to come at you in a frontal attack, but it ''attacks you from behind''. Considering that a player is lucky if they have a barely functioning AK 47, there are a lot of tales about encountering the bloodsucker, having both weapons jam, forcing you to go toe to toe with the bloodsucker using the knife or die.
