Collection of mods that improve visuals and remove bugs while keeping the vanilla gameplay intact.
The mod is ok. Can't really note the difference with vanilla. But what it is messed up is that the finale, in the Power Plant is completely broken. You appear in the map, and there is no enemy at all. But if you save and load, enemies appear. The map of the outskirts of the reactor and further, are totally broken. A pity
While this fixes a large number of bugs in the game, it also introduces many more that make the experience feel cluttered. Additionally, it isn't super vital to have considering some of the potential bugs can cause crashes and slowdowns that don't exist in the main game (there are other bugs which cause this in the true vanilla experience sadly). Overall, a ripped band-aid for an experience that is just too broken for all but the most hardcore to enjoy.
Final Verdict: 3/10 (Poor)
great vanilla + experience
Great mod! While it enhances the graphics greatly it keeps the vanilla Shadow of Chernobyl experience.
gud
That old Stalker game feel and style, but brought up to date with refreshed graphics and fixed bugs
Works excatly as advertised, changes the gameplay very little but updates the grafics and fixes a lot of bugs. Great mod of a vanilla play through
Solid repack that aims at keeping the vanilla feeling alive.
Played my first run of SoC with this mod (a collection of mods) then played Complete 2009 my second run. Both have there pros and cons but after all is said and done I'd say this is more my type of thing. One main reason for this is the weapons, if the author of this starter pack is correct none of the weapon stats were changed but, if I understand correctly, the textures and sounds were. In Complete 2009 the 9x39 ammo is less effective than the 5.56, also the weapons look and sound heftier in this Starter Pack than in Complete 2009. Also in Complete the grenade iron sights were done away with when using a grenade launcher attached to a weapon. Plus the Modifyer.exe present in this mod was done away (yet the files are all still there) with in "Complete" I think because it created crash's or bugs as I installed the missing Modifyer to take advantage of the mod files but was met with crash after crash.
I will say that Complete has a WONDERFUL looking weather system not to mention the constellations that are supposedly present in the sky at night, but I spent more time shooting janky looking weapons not looking at the sky.
5/5 bretty good
