Ulric Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 So, as you guessed, this thread is primarily for the STALKER series, including mods and what not, as well as STALKEResque games. So, lets start with a screenshot from the Cordon in Lost Alpha 1.3003 I downloaded and installed the latest Lost Alpha patch. The last time I played Lost Alpha, the story line was poo, and in typical STALKER fashion, it was "buggier than a crack whore with the sniffles", to quote Yahtzee. However, it does deliver some of the best environments and game play atmosphere that I have seen in a long damn time. My first thought that I had as I was romping around the Cordon was the striking similarity to the 1979 film, in terms of the lush vegetation and terrain. They go on further to integrate bits and set pieces from multiplayer maps, other games in the series, as well as content that was cut from the original game during development. Remember all those highly detailed parts on your map that where just part of the satellite photo and not actually playable area? Yeah, those have been added in. Also, many of the original maps have been heavily reworked, and I would say improved. Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Currently have installed Call of Chernobyl. It seems pretty OK. Honestly, these days I get my STALKER fix from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Naw, the STALKER dev team is all broke up. I don't think there will ever be another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope is Metro games devs (4A team) to make STALKER-like FPS. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Metro isn't really the same as Stalker I was hoping for a more open world game but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Although i like Metro games. As i said, there is a chance that they will go to open world route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulric Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 As much as they say that Escape from Tarkov isn't related to STALKER, the gameplay footage says otherwise. Almost everything about it feels like STALKER, from the hyper paranoid combat, the weapon handling, the corpse looting, and even the retarded and unnatural over emphasized ways that the trees sway in the wind.

I actually disagree. Tarkov from footage i saw does have high-tension gameplay, but it is PvP for the most part and lacks open, narrative-based world that sometime generate a series of random events that create this unscripted atmospheric journey. It feels like DayZ with different engine, no zombies and a lot of tactikewl swag added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I downloaded Lost Alpha due to Ulric's persuasion. It's very good. My only issue is the damage from rifles should be increased. And perhaps the accuracy. I'll try to see if I can either find a mod or do the mod myself and post the results.

EnsignExpendable Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Is modding STALKER still a huge pain in the ass? I remember spending a day trying to get the Arsenal mod to work, but it would crash constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember spending a day trying to get the Arsenal mod to work, but it would crash constantly. That mod was really shitty. I found it easier to use separate mods on Oblivion Lost overhaul mod for stability. Arsenal mod sucked for that. I just found a mod for Lost Alpha and I installed it today. I had to get the 1.004 version of the game and not 1.003, so I'll be starting a new game soon. http://www.nexusmods.com/stalkershadowofchernobyl/mods/1023/?

Download that mod for 1.004 for increased weapon damage while you're at it. Makes the game far more tense and enjoyable in my opinion.

Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Updates. Enjoying Lost Alpha in a big way. The map is easily four times as big as the vanilla game. Vehicles are back and actually serve a purpose. Mutants are a bitch. One wrong move and you're dead. Many more different factions to deal with. There are areas that require a ton of planning to get to. I give it a hearty recommendation. But only if you play on Master difficulty and with the damage increase mod.

Ulric Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'll have to try it with the weapon mod, but so far I've had zero issues with the latest patch. All the firearms are considerably more accurate, and I've had zero issues putting soldiers down with 1-3 round of 5.45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Any feelings about Call of Pripyat? I always felt that it was the most polished but thinnest of the lot in terms of content. Fuck me but all of those games were good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Are all the guns still like that, or did they just add other weapons to the base game's lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 They cleaned up a few things, added some new models, and a brought in assets from other Stalker games. Some of the new models trigger my autism, sadly, but I can overlook that for now. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
