So reaching into the deep dark recesses that is my steam library (seriously it has some weird stuff) I came across Call of Pripyat , I'm assuming I bought it was on sale at some point. But for whatever reason I haven't played it. SO GIantbomb I put you too the task of telling me why it's the best game ever and why I should play through it., and what's the best way to play it? Are there some awesome mods out in the wild that I should look into downloading? Maybe you could be a dear and post any relevant links as to why I should play it1 
 
Thanks GIantbomb <3

Its a great game, very immersive, and there's a few good mods.
But I'm out of date on those so I'll let someone else handle that!

Hmm okay

The only mod you'll need is the Complete mod. There is one available for each S.T.A.L.K.E.R. including Call of Pripyat. Links below:

Yeah, I installed the complete mod for cop before I even started and it was great.

I think you definitely should try it out, try looking at the different mods on ModDB as there are a couple of complete overhauls (like the Complete mod), but they serve somewhat different needs, so maybe look for the one that sounds most like you'll enjoy using it.
