I wouldn't discredit Silent Hill and Doom 3. They're both pretty good at what they do and at least they're not all jump scares. I thought Doom 3 was really deep with the PDA messages everywhere. Though I do see your point. The world of STALKER felt like an enigma, like it didn't belong in this universe. Traversing Yantar in particular felt like crossing over into some spirit world. And the assault on the NPP felt like besieging hell itself, especially during the blowout race.
Mazryonh If I am not mistaken, this is the ambiance of X18, classified as Sound, not Music, so you'll hear it even if you completely turn the music down
@PoopS0cok Silent hill, Doom 3 and those got random scares, but that's it. just scares. S.T.A.L.K.E.R was actually the first game that had me scared shitless for a prolonged period of time. The underground in MIlitary warehouses, X16, X18, Brain Scorcher....it just had me so fucking scared. Oh, adn Lake Yantar. A ghost town filled with zombies. An eerie place with no explanation....i was so fuckign scared at nights i could ahrdly move from the bunker. That's just how much i can plunge in.
@Ryuurik True.I played and finished many other games,but probably nothing scared me as much as Stalker did.But...the best is.When.You.Are.Home alone.It is night.You close all the windows in da house.Turn off the lights.Turn up your headphones to the maximum.Play Stalker...WAIT!WAS THAT BLOODSUCKER BEHIND YOU?!RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
@Binkeh9 I hope that GSC Gameworld releases a true version of STALKER that reintegrates all the cut content from the original game, now that they are famous and rich.
@Binkeh9 Yeah, but I still want to tromp around the Dead City that used to lie behind the concrete barrier at the Mercenary camp in Freedom territory, or fight Izloms and unarmed zombies. I hear that Pripyat in CoP is missing a lot of what made Pripyat in SoC great, like the ferris wheel, the broken and deserted children's classrooms, the hotel, etc. What gives?!
@Binkeh9 I hope they do finish it. I just wish that GSC gameworld hadn't cut so much out of CoP's Pripyat. That was there in SoC. It just isn't the same without that Ferris wheel.
@PoopS0cok Sorry, my mistake. I meant agroprom. By the way, have you noticed that S.T.A.L.K.E.R isn't that good as vanilla, but with STALKER Complete 2012 it's freaking awesome? Stealth is an option finally, and there isn't too much bs going on.

Fucking scariest parts of S.T.A.L.K.E.R was the Labs
Ha, it got me a long time to get the wordplay in the name of this video:
The X18 Experiment - The Exciting Experiment. Clever.
This was heard in Pripyat
X-18 is the Hell on Earth :S
Ok military , search the lab !
Shit, this low vibrating tone in the background is so unnerving. Reminds me of infrasounds
Это Припять в Тенях Чернобыля.
That's Pripyat theme in SoC.
12.10.20, 21:22
x18 was the scariest lab by far
Too bad this music track never seemed to be used. I just played through X18 and there was no music at all.

this actually plays in pripyat day in SOC
If someone says:"Games are not scary." Show them this ambience and S.T.A.L.K.E.R gameplay.
Wow. Very beautiful.
Припять

no good to listen at night this music in the bed.

Because its not the same part of the city.
X16 was by far scarier than X18
True dat!
