DoW2's singleplayer is only disappointing if you're an idiot.

That statement makes so much sense my head just exploded :rolleyes:

What's wrong with the first few levels? Not grimmdark enough?

Aside from being painfully boring?
For me it was the shocking difference in gameplay from DoW 1. Gradually I got used and came to appreciate it once the levels got more tense.

This just in: sequel may be different shock horror oh teh noes!

Check out DOTA, SE. It will destroy your life.

Yes, I dip into other games but I have Stalker and I've not even started it.
Force yourself and do it.

Agreed.
While the game is good enough to be played "raw" (I played the unpatched, unmodded version- on a 6200TC no less- the week the game came out, the patch came out literally while I was finishing the game, and I still had a blast) you may want to consider one or more mods.
The big, ultimate one- the one that doesn't add any major gameplay changes, just updates the existing game to be less annoying and much prettier, is (
http://artistpavel.blogspot.com/2009/04/stalker-complete-2009.html) Stalker Complete 2009. It even uses my proofread of the English translation of the repair mod. Be warned: anything short of an 8800 with 512mb RAM will cry blood. But holy fuck it's beautiful.
Unfortunately it also uses some godawful gold skins for a couple of the weapons, namely the Fort-12 and M1911. I dunno, goldplating the M1911 just seems criminal to me. I suggest digging around on FPSBanana for some replacements.

Defense of the Ancients. A custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. It's to FT what Counter-Strike was to Half-Life back in the day.
