It isn't blended in nicely into the background ambience like one is used to with most Stalker game and mods. The insertion of random sound effects that certain intervals just feels jarring. This mod doesn’t really spoon feed you much, but luckily there is a whole guide out there available with the english translation, also included with the merge mod version.Īnother thing that I take issue with is the use of sound. The one criticism I have of this mod is that it can be kind of confusing and hard to know where to go and what to do. Like the mod’s name would suggest, your main task as a photographer is to take pictures in order to document the zone. It’s not very good looking, especially the surrounds in the game, but it does have some new maps and character models, along with completely new quests and storyline, and once you get further in to the mod you’ll realise that new gameplay mechanics are present as well. One wonders if it’ll ever see the light of day though what with the team moving on to make OGSR. It’s just a shame that the developers don’t plan on releasing new patches for it, although there is the Russian version 2.11 patch, or even the long awaited 2.12 patch that was talked about by one of the developers on the OGSE forum. It’s still regarded as being one of the more stable mods available. Some regard such things as being rather silly, but other than that, it’s quite a polished stalker experience, though it still has a few bugs and crashes here and there. Not all of them are particularly well written, but they can lead to some interesting discoveries, like finding the cherubashaka – which is essentially a talking doll that has been left in an anomaly and can help you in specific quests in the zone.
It tends to focus more on gameplay, adding in some new quests. Besides that it’s kind of vanilla in the way it looks, although there have been a few changes in the 2.10 revised patch. It only really has some new character models.
