The things that really bugged me about the first stalker game are the disappearing bullets, save/reload bug, and telepathic AI that will shoot you through walls (mostly caused by save/reload bug). The load times were also pretty excessive, although I was using a high res texture mod so that might have something to do with it. The story pacing was also very poor, and it wasn't until I got to the end that I really thought the story was sort of interesting. And then it gave you the stupid teleporting level for no reason...
Overall, I found fighting mutants to be much more fun than fighting humans that I can do in any other FPS that do it better. That was the only thing really different about stalker and they really didn't use it to their advantage, in my opinion. They should have flooded a lot of areas with powerful swarms of mutants instead of bandits and mercenaries and monolith goons. I found fighting packs of blind dogs more fun than humans since at least you have to run your ass off instead of hide behind a rock and take pop shots until the fight is over.
