the positives: high production value, great new UI and weapon animations, great story ideas, great new level, shared player stashes the negatives: unskippable ingame cinematic sequences, limited weapon variety, you get nocked out and or robbed so often that it gets old very quickly, the control is taken off the player way too often, you get thrown into almost unwinnable fights after cinematics way too often, unsatisfying endgame, no quick travel option - you have to run back to cordon every single time you want to upgrade or repair your equipment.

İf anyone like this mod, Try also: Wind of time. Another great mod.

Biggest disappointment with this mod is the lack of A-Life. AI doesn't roam like they do in Vanilla or Anomaly. They don't fight over areas unless it's scripted

I went crazy last year and re-played all the stalker games again (with some mods this time to update the gameplay a little) and this year have been getting into GAMMA.. but am finding it could be a bit of a time sync but still really cool. I think i might have to try this one out before Stalker 2 comes out. Thanks for making this video. Really well explained and well done :)

I find myself agreeing with your takes on stalker more than anybody else’s videos I’ve seen, appreciate your stuff

Every new or different stalker experience is always welcome!

Thank you for showing us this,I didn't know about it!

I thought it was pretty decent and gave it a 7/10 myself but its missing A life which makes it feel a little repetitive and bland at times but the story doesnt pick up until the later half of the game. I still appreciate the quality and effort that went into creating this entire experience though. It's very well put together, good cutscenes and voice acting was pretty great! My favorite part was finding easter eggs of moments from the first games like finding the pseudogiant in the sewers as you exit the lab in yantar or the new floating village anomaly which was pretty cool!

Great take. Good luck with your channel man, subscribed.

Currently downloading this now. Thanks and love the video. Keep killin it man

Thanks for this, good review, to the point.

Thanks for this video. It's important to spread info about such mods, as they are in minority, yet being so much worth to play! Everyone and everything are shadowed by Anomaly and Gamma nowadays making little to no space for other productions. Let's change it and make people aware of different way of modding stalker!

Thank you for sharing and talking about this great mod！It looks just like THE STALKER in my dream！ still downloading it but I'm already fell in love with it😍

Damn, I'm sold! I'll give it a shot at some point then :)

This Is an interesting subject for a video series, or at least other cool and unknown mods

Definitely gonna try out

You should play the Trapped / В западне mod. It's probably one of the best Stalker mods ever made. It's not a deeply and carefully written story mod, the main focus is gameplay.

2:37 Or "Truck Cemetery." 5:24 Ever used the spawn menu of either of those mods (some versions of Lost Alpha don't have a spawn menu, but older ones typically do) to create insane Zone Sportsmanship Challenges of demented do0m? 5:35 Resident Evil style.

Funny thing, I hate walking simulators, but LostAlpha never seemed like one to me. Of all the STALKER mods, I liked it the most, especially after STALKER Lost Alpha: Revisited was released, but as I see, other updates were also released for it. This is the only game that has given me health problems, headaches and anxiety, and I've played quite a few horror games. STALKER simply has its typical atmosphere.

The way this mod is able to faithfully build on the base game’s foundations and make a sequel that’s really well designed/written makes me think of the mods for Classic Fallout that do the same thing. It’s crazy how someone is able to create something like this. It’s too bad that we don’t have something like Daggerfall Unity for Classic Fallout that ports the game into a much better engine with various bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and makes it very easy to modify the game. I’m sure if that existed more people would be able to enjoy the classic games. Then again, isometric rpgs aren’t very popular, and Daggerfall is much closer to modern Elder Scrolls than Classic Fallout is to modern Fallout (in fact, Daggerfall is where the foundation for so many of the things we’ve come to expect from Elder Scrolls in terms of lore, gameplay mechanics, and other things). There isn’t much overlap with the fans of one to another. I should probably get the game next time there’s a Steam sale. Let’s hope that Stalker 2 electric boogaloo is able to do something similar to this mod and doesn’t fall flat (although, I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that a small part of me is hoping for a tremendous dumpster fire. Purely because it would be funny). If Sony ever puts their “Halo Killers” Resistance and Killzone on Steam do you think you’ll ever do videos on them, or probably not? I’ve wanted to play those for a while. They both look interesting and have genuinely interesting lore. My child, you have peanut butter in your mouth. Stop speaking when you have nothing to say. No, I did not pay Quasi and will not Feed Nana. Enjoy prison, stalker! (Fatrick Tomlinson reference. He calls everyone a “stalker child”, so I thought it was fitting😂)

Thanks

it was fun tbh

any way to lower the graphic mods? I want to play this game but can't because of weak computer. I can run OG stalker games and Anomaly.

You should definitely try out the Goldsphere mod! It is story-driven mod with high references and inspirations with Roadside picnic. The story take place at the begining of THE ZONE, when everybody just starting to exploring the possibilities in it. (Also there are some choices making too) The mod have now a english translation.

My #1 gripe is the questing structure. Way too many "Gets knocked out and has weapons/equipment taken away" moments... Not to mention the endless multi-map fetch quests with no fast travel...

i played that game for a little bit but stopped because i had to travel with basicaly no stamina and anomaly everywhere making every step a gamble for your life if you dont walk around throwing bolt every 10 second to make sure you dont run in an anomaly. It may be different in the latest version of the game because i only played the original release without any patch, plus i really hated the first mission because there is so much radiation that if you dont know where are the artifact you have to find you will die of radiation or use all your med that you may need later.

Best Stalker mod I've ever played. Especially the first time I entered this new big area was so immersive. It was a long time ago that I felt this level of mystery in a Stalker game/mod. Also I think progression is kinda perfect here, since I found a lot of good loot (and ended up rich at the end), but I think I also for the first time ever ended up regulary buying stuff (and also gear) from the traders.

Now I remember I own S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I want to install again and try this mod, it looks awesome 😮

Is any Addons? For this? I really want to break down extra weapons, like in Misry

as far as i've read, you should install each patch in order, one after the other, not just the latest one. not sure if it makes a difference, but i ran into some problems, and after doing it like that the game worked for me. now running patch 1.5

By far this is the story driven mod i've ever played since Wind of Time

The lacking fast travel kills it for me. I hate doing pointless running back and forth for something simple. It's a time waster.

Best mod so far, sticking to vanilla aesthetics with beautifull graphics and environments. Awesome take on stalker universe.

Is this stand alone or do i need call of pripyat to play??

Never heard of this, I'm gonna download it and give it a try. I hope it's a good story experience overall, more akin to Chernobylite and less like Anomaly/Gamma.

can you play free roam after you finished the game?

I liked it. But damn if the ending isn't a complete let down.

Not in Program Files indeed! 😅

ONE MAYOR FLAW here: every animated scene the stalker is knocked out...even when wearing the exoesqueleton, wich on the model gaves the player a high heavy kevlar helment but somehow someone punching you on the back on the head of said helmet can knock you out...and its on every animated scene. the game make a couple twists and still great but i hate the scenes.

i was trying the mod but i was kinda disappointed it felt ike you could never really use the gear you get later on and also the mod is missing something the really scary parts of the zone get cut out and although i like the story just the simple fact you get "knocked out" or caught like 20+ times then having to retrieve your gear is kinda annoying first 5 times were okay but then ...

Decent mod major issue though the being knocked out during a cutscene not many people like this and at times it's really immersion breaking reminding you that you are in a game.

I didn't finish the mod, but I can confidently say that it's a mixed bag for me. The mod is great, but I don't like the hud/UI, to me it looks like something from a Ubisoft game, I hope that there will be a mod in the future to have a more traditional hud/UI. And the last thing is when the game gets really good it does something very annoying. Without spoiling anything, in Garbage there is a very good story quest that makes you walk from one edge of the map to another several times, and another very VERY good story level after you leave the Dark Valley was very annoying to finish because it keeps teleporting you to a certain spot over and over and over... again, maybe I just kept triggering something idk. But it's good and recommend everyone to play it.

Hey man im binge watching some vids but to be honest and no offense but im hating on the video resolution qauilityy could you try and record footage at 1440p its blurry or more like fuzzy its not a huge deal just a small ask thanks for thr content my guy i also understand that footage takes up hundreds of gigs 😂

U should play castle miner z

honestly mate i dont see why people like TS so much a large majority of the story mods i've played are way better. TS didn't live up to its hype at all. Its a nice change of scenery from the bland, boring freeplay mods that have dominated for years now though. The lack of a-life, and getting knocked out every 10 seconds to progress the plot is what really gets me. atleast its translation is good though unlike most story mods. The inventory kinda sucks I think. I much prefer the inventory tetris we have in vanilla over this modernized sorta witcher 3 inspired inventory.

Is it free like anomaly?

whats wrong with mil sim?

Every STALKER experience is worthwhile no matter how far it strays from the OG intent. It's the vibe. Survival in the Zone. Vanilla or "wannabe mil-sim". This mod is oozing with production value though. Been playing a few hours now and I'm seriously impressed. My only complaint is I wish you could up the grass and flora density by like 400%. Otherwise, it's pretty amazing.

creo que la vara de calidad en los mods acaba de subir un monton

ok but WHY DID AXE KILL HIMSELF 😭

Waaaaaah waaaaah that's all I heard

Nah. Theres a lot of minuses, but anyway, it looks cool tho, even that i like more buildlike mods. I hope someone made some mod on this mod. Like, rly. Locations, music, ui, all of this looks dope.

No chance against gamma. Its almost a different subgenre though so its not a good comparison but since you mentioned it: most of the gamma/efp/anomaly things you mentioned are actually positives. At least for the non casual players.

No

i dissaggre with you opion about gamma

PLEEEEASSEEE TELL US YOUR MOD LIST!!! It looks exactly how I want stalker to look. Looks like what I would imagine roadside picnic being like. This is why I like your channel. You focus on the atmosphere and wonder of the zone in your mod showcases
