Shadow of Chernobyl + Clear Sky + Call of Pripyat up to 70% off!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, the phenomenally immersive FPS survival horror series set in the terrifyingly believable radioactive "Zone" surrounding the explosion site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is available up to 70% off on GOG.com. That's only $14.97 for the set of three for the next 72 hours.

Not many people truly understand what it means to be a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We're Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers. Basically, what each of us is, is a bit of a soldier, a bit of a thief, a bit of a hunter, a bit of a nutjob, and a full-time basterd. Imagine what's happening in our heads. The Zone is calling for us ahead, new locations and unknown threats, spatial holes and monsters hiding in the fog, pitch-black nights and saving rays of a rising sun. You try to avoid anomalies and hide from blowouts, discover the Zone and collect artifacts, cure radioactive irradiation and fight for any stalker faction you like! This is the life, right? If only it didn't end so promptly, ever so often.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series delivers one of the most immersive and enthralling experiences in the history of first-person shooters. Calling it a "shooter", however, might be a bit of a stretch. The games' focus leans mostly towards exploration and stealth. In most cases, it's best to avoid encounters rather than face the dangers head-on. The Chernobyl exclusion zone is full of things that could kill you in an eyeblink. Strange creatures, physics-defying phenomena, not to mention the other men bold or insane enough to venture into the heart of eastern-european Twilight Zone. The competition is ruthless, as the prizes are great--the fascinating artifacts found in the forbidden land yield unbelievable prizes on the black market. If you think you have what it takes to become one of the fabled S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, the whole story of the Chernobyl Zone opens before you: the original Shadow of Chernobyl, the prequel Clear Sky, and the sequel Call of Pripyat. All three games come with high-quality soundtracks encoded in lossless FLAC format.

For the next 72 hours, that is until Sunday, February 9, at 10:59 GMT, you can get the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series 70% off, that is for only $14.97. Separately, the games come with 50% off discount for that time.

EDIT:
Now, that the release special offer has expired, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are priced at $19.99, $9.99, and $19.99 for Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat respectively. A permanent 20% off series discount still applies, if you get all three at the same time.
Tempted to get them again, but $15 is a lot to pay just to remove DRM. Excellent games though, anyone who doesn't own them and likes the genre should buy them immediately.
I was thinking of waiting till tomorrow to see what the weekend special will be but in the end I could not resist after reading how enthusiastic most people here seem to be about those games.

I do feel kind of weird about the idea of enjoying a game based on a tragedy that happened not in distant history or even when my parents were kids but while I was a young adult. Will someone make a game about the Fukushima disaster?

Off to the wasteland, oops I mean the exclusion zone.
F.U.C.K.Y.E.S.S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!.

Ever since I've heard about GOG.com, this has been the game series I've anticipated most. Add in the deep discount upon release, good language support and awesome goodies, and it makes this pretty much the best release GOG.com ever had, and ever will have - it just doesn't get any better than this.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is the 2nd-best game of all time, and that's coming from someone who doesn't even like FPS all that much.

If I had more money, I would make at least one giveaway, but as it stands I can barely afford my own copy at the moment. Still, this is one of the games I just have to instabuy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, GOG.com and GSC Game World!

I'm curious, what do you think is the best game of all time?

This is one of those game series that I was always interested in but the DRM barrier was not one I was willing to cross for the experience.

With all three games included in today’s epic GoG release, at a 70% off introductory offer, it’s an instabuy for me. As a collector, gamer, consumer and GoG community member I can happily say my wishful curiosity has been fulfilled this day. :D

#1 spot is shared between Gothic 1 and Gothic 2. ;)
Looks like a very nice release deal, but since I already have these 3 elsewhere, just have to decide whether I can pick these up again to get DRM free versions.
WOW!!! Incredible release GOG! And for a 70% discount I guess there's no reason to wait, this should be an instabuy for anybody who likes great atmospheric games. I'll buy it even though I already own all of them in boxes.

So, which one is best?

Robette: So, which one is best?
That's subjective, but I'd say you really should start with Shadow of Chernobyl. Otherwise it's a bit like trying to enjoy the Alien movie franchise without seeing the first film.
This is fantastic GOG, I'm very happy to see this release!
About the story "Roadside Picnic" and the STALKER movie, any recommendation on reading/watching them before or after playing the games? Does it matter?

Yup, in general, definitely start with Chernobyl, players have been disappointed by Clear Sky, because, as I heard, it reuses lot of maps from first game and third one is experience Stalker fans have been expecting from the first one, so you decide, whether you´d like to play as the second one or the third one.

Actually the idea is based on the film 'Stalker' by Adrian Tarkovsky; the film was based on the novel 'Roadside Picnic' by Boris Strugatsky and Arkady Strugatsky. A sci-fi classic. It was just an altered setting which made some sense as the Chernobyl area is fairly 'Zone like' and an instantly recognisable name to help sell the product.

*edit: I noticed you already mentioned them so forget that bit :) . But it is true to say that it isn't really based on the Chernobyl disaster; being set there is really irrelevant to the story itself.
