Its become apparent to me that these 2 games are the ones that i want to buy, unfortunately i cannot get both. I loved the original stalker because it was so cool, but i never had any experience with saints row (tho i played san andreas which was good)and i dont even know if the pc version is going to be as good as the console versions. So i thought i would ask you guys for your opinions. I was going to wait for a review but i think reviews can sometimes be deceptive.

Personally, I would definitely go for Clear Sky as I absolutely love STALKER, but then, I've never been into GTA style sandbox games. You've already had experience with STALKER, and know for a fact that you enjoy it, whereas Saints Row is an unknown commodity. If I was you, I'd go for what you know, - you can always picked up SR2 in the future.

Of course, that's all just personal opinion.

I would also say Stalker but they are both very different games.

Since youre in PC, buy Stalker! Most sandbox games suck at the PC. at least for me. if it is for consoles, buy saints. thats what ill do.

Well.. personally I think that Stalker was an unfinished mess. The first hour or so I played was very enjoyable, because the world felt so strange and hostile. But I quickly got bored because I felt it lacked both direction and purpose. And a lot of playtesting. And maybe some more textues. It had its moments, though.
I've only played a bit Saint's Row, but it seems like one of the better GTA clones.

If you're into plot and zombie pwning, go for Stalker.

If you're into lots of reckless fun, sandbox, and destruction - pick Saint's Row 2.

Its hard to really say because both haven't come out yet but Stalker: Clear Sky is seeing its first reviews now. All have been above 85% so far which is looking good.

STALKER is a strange game, in that it totally divides opinion. I can fully appreciate what poleboy is saying, as it's true, it's incredibly buggy, but it's the one recent(ish) game that steadfastly refuses to be taken out of my DVD drive.

I think if that atmopshere appeals to you, as it does to me, then you're willing to overlook a certain level of technical deficiency....

Let's see, one is about drug warfare and the other I just don't care about. Hmm...

PC= Stalker clear skies

Console=SR2

simple, if you've got both i'd personally buy SR2, just because it's not a GTA clone but a comedy with a vaguely same feel to it.

Thanks to everyone for responding, i didnt think the thread would get much attention!
Now i think you are right about the pc and console see-saw. Stalker for the pc and saints row 2 for the consoles. The reaction seems to be quite unsure but if the reviews for stalker clear sky are more positive than saints row 2's then i will buy stalker. It will be nice to see some demos for the two games so i could actually compare them in my own way but the developers dont want this to happen i suppose. The videos both seem equally appealing so i suppose i'll just look for the user reviews on gamespot or something. Thanks again for the suggestions and advice :D!
