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

Mod review

Vast good looking maps, but not alot to do in them. except for the maps themself, the rest of the game is a downgrade:

Bad AI

to few enemies

bad repair/upgrade system

VERY!! (can't stress this enough) bad cutscenes total atmosphere breaking

bad walking routes through the maps (very coridor/linear)

requires you to use cars, as there is alot of backpedaling throughtout all the maps. This is a bad thing in my book.

Very bad story writing

extremely tiresome and boring underground maps (primarily the X labs)


All in all, when you first start up the game it looks great, but from there on out it's a total dissapointment. Of the things i have listed, some of them is work in progress and can easily be fixed or changed, but most of them are just horrible design choices that is not going to change.
My prediction is: This game will continue to be bugfixed via patches, but the core game that is seriously flawed, will continue to be that.

would be 10/10 if they didn't change anything but the maps and added some sidequests.
