Guns come in all varieties along with deadly mutants, many of which have been restored from the original demo. Night vision devices vary in quality and it was very satisfying getting a better device so I can see better at night. Quests are there to earn you money and rewards as well as follow the main story which is one of intrigue and interest. I've had to find shelter for PSI Storms that come about but you get plenty of advance warning as the skies darken. So far as I've said I'm 20-ish hours in and really enjoying myself. The maps are large but immersive and do not detract from the experience, but add to the tense exploration. You can get upgrades to your weapons and armor that actually make a difference, and enemies and yourself go down fast with bullets. Guns can get jammed and flashlights need batteries which again are small details but add to the immersive experience. Skills are enjoyable to level up, giving you a sense of progression and getting stronger.

The nice thing is you'll have to decide whether to carry a few extra rations or that gun you found, but there are plenty of each to find in the wasteland. But do not fear, these mechanics are not annoying and do not get in the way of enjoyment, they only supplement it. Quick Navigation S.T.A.L.K.E.R.So, the game succeeds in the survival department, adding Thirst, Hunger and Sleep mechanics. They also released their own book now, which is apparently even worse then Southern Comfort. Tracking books with the Stalker universe in them. And looks like recently he became desperate for more cash that's why he's only complaining about the Southern comfort royalties.Īlso GSC now have a official Book Department. That CEO of GSC doesn't have a FPS department any more. They've also let a lot of people go behind the scenes. He tells them there was no such agreement. It was aaaaaWell there's been a lot of public bickering between him and GSC. Typos, grammar mistakes, and just plain uninteresting writing and characters, the works. I read a lot of nerd shit like certain 40k books on the good side and the old Doom novels on the bad, and I even suffered through the MGS novelization, but Southern Comfort was totally just a fanfic with a fancy cover. Though the dev team is working around the clock to fix whatever bugs or errors we come up with. I might have some sad news: It looks like we won't reach our September deadline, unless it all runs smoothly from here on (never does). I'm glad you are all aware of Lost Alpha. Been on TTLG stalker forums for a couple of years and after almost a year of not coming on I decided to check it out today. One of the head developers is actually also from here. Though funny enough I'm not the only South African testing this out.
Stalker lost alpha software#
I am a software tester for another company who's very much in love with the Stalker lore and really raced at the chance to test Lost Alpha. <- Regarding this last statement, even though some maps might seem like you know them, be warned they really are not the same at all. Even though it is a map we all know and love. Been spending almost 12 RL hours on this map and I haven't yet thought about leaving. I'm currently on the third map in the game, if you follow the story. Maybe I'll share a bit about my testing so far: The story is great, deep and has some funky twists in it.Ĩ. Armor is extremely expensive and there are gas pockets where gasmasks are a must.ħ. Ammo is rare, weapons are abundant but without bullets useless. There are so many more things to consider before leaving the safety of a base and going into the wild. There are hidden traps around every corner and what NPC's tell you should not be taken lightly.Ħ. Though this time causing mayhem is not as easy as pulling the trigger, factions don't always attack on sight. You're still a lone gunslinger causing mayhem.ĥ. That's right, maps are huge! Vastly different from vanilla and they feel more alive, but not over crowded. It's unlike any other mod, although in some ways it does remind me of Priboi story, except with less weapons and more explorable space.Ĥ. So much of the actual engine have been reworked that the Vanilla executable for Shoc won't work for Lost Alpha.ģ. So it's massive, and worth every little bite.Ģ.

After extracting the mod it's current size is 11GB. But I do ask that you keep this confidential for now.

I'm going to share some extra details with you people. I'm sure after this whole GSC fiasco with the Southern Comfort writer and their PR stunts we all need a bit of a distraction: Sure Dia, glad I could make some fellow fans happy.
