Ignore play time, I used the "Memories of the zone" mod which recommend. SOC does not hold up quite as well as clear sky and call of prypiat in terms of graphics, but the gameplay is still pretty good and mods fix a lot of the outdated features. Just be warned that the beginning guns absolutely suck (markov and sawn off shotgun) and it makes the game very unfun for the first hour or two. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME ON MASTER IT DOES NOT MAKE THE ENEMIES LESS SPONGEY IT IS A PERSISTENT MYTH.
