STALKER Lost Alpha - Revisited

[Fassou]

If you like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, keep reading...

If you know the project STALKER Lost Alpha, keep reading...

If you are also a big fan of the Deber / Duty faction or have had serious problems playing this MOD by choosing to join it, you are in luck, this patch self-named Lost Alpha Revisited (LAR), compiles many of the "improvements" until now only available to the rusky community, and will help you enjoy them in English.

Starting from a clean installation (no add-ons) of Lost Alpha DC 1.4007, you copy the files of that 512Mb pack of nothing and you will already be able to "enjoy" this version in which they have tried to impose strict limitations on certain events to avoid the chaos that the A-Life that we like so much can cause, and so many times forces us to load a previous game to be able to do or finish that mission.

Although initially it seemed that the changes allowed for safer play avoiding dynamic events that broke the development of the story preventing you from advancing, the reality is that you will have to do it anyway and the implementation of some limitations can become somewhat ridiculous situations, bordering on cheating, with monsters that cannot pass a certain point on the map even if you are a pixel away, characters whose movement activates the assignment of a mission by another NPC and that this one will not even speak to you until the subject (or his body) reaches a certain meeting area, etc...

I am playing it (and it's all the fault of @_Neptunno_ so you know ), but except for the Duty issue, I think it's better to play the STALKER Lost Alpha without this patch...

Although if you like this saga, you will surely find it funny to discover that a chimera or a burer has entered a closed camp or bunker, and has wiped out everyone , or they have all gone crazy to invade the neighboring camp, and you are left without NPCs to talk to and you have to reload the game or get creative to continue

See you in The Zone!

Greetings! Stalkers!

@fassou from what you comment, I understand that this is a "big patch" to be able to play STALKER Lost Alpha ¿Verdad? If I remember correctly, it is a version of what Shadow of Chenobyl should have been.

I haven't been on the forum for several weeks, especially since I injured my shoulder, although I'm getting better every day. I actually left Celar Sky halfway because of this injury, but I hope to pick it up and finish it soon

Getting back to the topic of the thread, thanks for this information and let's see if I get motivated to play it since I feel guilty that you're getting hooked too

Regards!!

The Revisited version (a.k.a. LAR) released in November 2022, is a new patch attempt added to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha v1.4007 DC that came out in December 2018, trying to solve some problems when you choose to join Duty but in their attempt to improve some things, it forces you to give up the general line of Add-Ons and in their search for less freedom of the entities that roam the maps (so typical of that faction's mentality), it ends up creating very controlled situations that take away all the fun from the game.

Despite all their attempts, "unwanted" events will occur during the games, which will lead us to recover a game saved previously so I do not recommend this "patch" (LAR), as it forces you to know the game, missions, and maps in advance for the amount of times that the part where the player is informed of the missions, events, and other things is broken.

Play the Lost Alpha which is a great game (and free), but don't waste your time with this LAR, which by trying to fix a few things, ends up messing up the game.

@_Neptunno_ Nine out of ten physis claim that the STALKER Clear Sky is the worst game in the saga, and that it can produce shoulder pain

I say this for your health, because then you have to go through the STALKER Call of Pripyat and for dessert the Lost Alpha, and we already know that although it seems that 2024 is very far away, with such a mountain of games, you might catch the bull of the hype of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

See you in The Zone! Greetings STALKERS!

@fassou jejejeje eres el mejor, que bueno el meme que me has sacado!!!!

Bueno, entonces para Lost Alpha mejor jugarlo tal cual sin complicarnos la vida con la versión LAR. Tomamos nota!!

De momento la ultima versión de Lost Alpha es la 1.4007¿Verdad? Lo digo por tenerlo en cuenta, aunque supongo sera facil verlo.

Hablando de Stalker en general, que curioso que cuando jugué al SoC en 2007 entre medias del juego me operaron, y justo cuando decido jugar al CS me rompo el hombro en mitad del juego jajajaja
Voy a tener miedo de empezar un nuevo juego de esta gente....

Saludos!!

P.D: @Fassou Ahora mismo estas jugando la versión "revisada"?

@_neptunno_ A version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with a patch that makes the game break?

Salu2! Jugones!
