S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha

I am a fan of “reality” (without non-existent guns, buildings, textures incompatible with reality) mods and “approximation to reality” (optimal prices from merchants, difficulty of passage, embodiment of book ideas such as activated artifacts, a limited backpack).

In my opinion, this mod is one of the best, since it managed to embody the original ideas of the official developers, complementing them, but without complicating the game to the limit and leaving a certain balance between “approaching reality” and game world.

Pros of themod:

+ a lot of Easter eggs, hiding places, hidden spots that allow you to spend money only on cartridges and sometimes repairing equipment;

+ availability of cars, plus who didn’t know, a free car (VAZ 2106) if you want to walk a little will appear already at the 6th open location (Dark Hollow) according to the scenario;

+ “closer to reality” in the form of optimal prices and difficulty of passage;

+ a huge number of impressively sized locations, for example, the rather small location “Forest” is not involved at all in the main scenario;

+ presence of the main legends and important people of the zone (Doctor, Strelka team, Explorer, Monolith, Borov, Bartender, Sidorovich, Voronin, etc.);

+ practically no bugs errors, and any crash or bug error has been carefully worked out and fixed in the latest patch, and those that remain are easily resolved by literally deleting a couple of game files;

+ when installing the item "New weapons. Install at your own risk" you will not encounter new bugs errors, only in very rare cases, errors with the crack, plus the new added weapon actually exists, which adds “closer to reality”;

+ excellent texture quality even with minimal settings;

+ more than 4 new groups compared to PM;

+ spectacular cut scenes throughout the game;

+ mod independence from the original game;

+ new jokes, dubbing, music on the radio;

+ free play after completing the main scenario;

+ game features: machines running PC with videos and games, radio, communication with stalkers via PDA, etc.;

+ and much more, I can’t describe the whole game here .

Disadvantages of themod:

- inability to join a group;

- problems with 32-bit systems (there is a FAQ for dummies on the Internet);

- absence of random emissions (and for some, a plus ).

Well, of course, there is something for everyone.

For those who say that cars are expensive, prices are high, or you can’t save money, etc. etc....I can only add that the game has a hell of a lot of hiding places, Easter eggs, and when using them you will only have to spend money on cartridges and sometimes repairs (although in general you can repair things yourself).

Thank you for your attention.
