- Today we're checking out the Old World addon for Stalker Anomaly!
Doing a normal playthrough style demo of the addon, just to see what it has in store.
Quite an interesting modpack that attempts to take Anomaly back to it's roots. Removing a lot of features and items to minimize the systems as well as simplify the gameplay.
It certain adds an original STALKER feel to a polished Anomaly experience!

Anomaly players when a cloth mask doesn't cost 10 trillion ru and 50 soul artifacts: 😮😮😮😮😮
jup
I remember grok (creator of Gamma) sh1ting on this modpack, like "my modpack is better" looool.
@@LONERZ yeah groks an asshat
This mod is right up my alley; I've been chasing something to make Anomaly have that old, gritty feel to it, and this is it. Thank you for giving this mod some exposure
I've always had a HUGE fondness for the vanilla SHoC style where you can sprint fast and make money pretty quickly. Something to neuter the grind that Anomaly has is fine by me. I enjoy a faster pace that lets you progress pretty far in the zone in a short period of time.
As someone who played through all of the story lines of anomaly without any mods or spawning anything in, I can say that I definitely am very interested in this mod, I really like stalker at it's vanilla core, as well as modded.
Me too. I havent played all the story lines for each faction, but the ironman mode and generally messing around with different factions have so much replay value, i wouldnt care about stalker until ANOMALY came out. So between this and Gamma, it would be fun to play
The thing I love most about this mod is the ragdolls.
I love it when enemies go flying with a one shot headshot lmao. It makes SA Avalanche and Vintar BC extremely satisfying and fun.
Oh for sure
Just found out about this mod today. It's just perfect! Can you imagine 15 7.62mm AP bullets not costing 250k rubles?
If I remember correctly, sometimes, in the original Stalker SoC, Radar would be exactly this populated with monolith, exactly on that hill. They pour out of the compound and it's guarded only by the tower dudes after you kill all of them.
Yeah I can’t remember myself, but THAT was downright insane compared to how quickly we ran through everything up to that point
yep this is SoC experience
Looks legit
It's a regular tour de force structured on a tight regime of quicksaves after each kill. It's been so long playing vanilla Soc that I can't remember but in Anomaly which I am currently playing I have not even once made it through the Brainscorcher mission without having to resort to dropped degraded weaponry and what little ammo I can scavenge for them on the go. It's *so* insane just how many monolith can be crammed into that relatively small base. And they do respawn at a fair pace, you basically have no time for looting other than what's within easy reach if you want to stay clear of the respawns jumping you from behind. And after the mission is completed, Freedom doesn't step in to fight them in Radar like they did in SoC. It'll be fighting 8-12 monoliths every single time you pass through the area. So thank goodness for fast-travel and the ability to set up your own hideouts on maps.
Also, Switching off the brainscorcher with mmore than three minutes of the countdown to go says a lot about the general difficulty of this mod. It's Stalker having been made into an empowerment game.
@@WormholeJim fast travel? Nah man just sniff some coke and leg it to and through Red Forest.
Been playing for an hour so far. Its legit af. Its definitely my favorite modpack in a VERY long time. The amount of Armors i find in stashes is wild. All brand new
Damn, yet another must-have unique experience!
Nice work bringing this mod to light, my friend 🤘
Thanks Blondie!! Yeah I kept getting told about it, had to check it out
This is a great little addon for Anomaly, it runs so well.
old world combined with classic textures looks so good
I play with direct x8 with those 2 mods and god damn it looks like the good old days
Well that looks like a really fun addon/modpack. Definitely gonna give it a shot. Cheers!
I always thought that Anomaly prices didn't make much sense, because Stalkers were coming to the zone in search of riches. The highest point in Anomaly is basically having cool things and enough money to get you by, but the prices for artifacts are really bad... This one turns it the other way around.
Yeah the economy can be all over the place, especially with how much can be configured
By the time you reach Rostok as a loner, you have low tier weapons. But everyone else is packing top tier weapons with expensive ammunition, bulletproof armors that rendering your weapons basically useless. That’s anomaly.
100% makes sense for the traders and repairmen to wanna rip you off, but why do you get like 5% back on your returns when selling an item vs. buying it? Why does a single bottle of bottom-shelf vodka cost the equivalent of $60 USD? I know there'd be some inflation in the Zone to account for transport costs, checkpoint bribes, etc. but take it too far and it's a very cheap, videogamey way of pacing the player's progress.
@apugalypse_now if anything, traders should support stalkers, since their income depends on artifacts and valuable loot
@@apugalypse_now It does make sense for traders to parasite on other stalkers. However, that doesn't hold back one trader with a very good network to compete with the others to sell things for cheaper, breaking the competition. I'm fine with some extra challenge, but getting punished for getting in an epic shootout without being able to sell the loot is actually _not fun,_ and that's in the end why I play the game. Taking risks should be rewarding, and again, it makes zero sense for Stalkers to go into the zone if they're only going to be ripped off in the end, most likely they'll all leave to go back doing backbreaking labour in a factory or whatever, at least they'll able to put some money aside without facing the horrors of the zone. If I want a real survival experience I go camping in the wild, not figuring out why I can't make a camp in game because I'm missing one item of the six needed.
So, Anomaly is a mod to modify vanilla, and Old World is an addon in anomaly to change it back to vanilla. Very funny.
Lol you got it
I've been playing this on story mode, such a experience
Wavey !! In this video, when you arrive in the Swamp, you found a box and say "it's not a stash", but you can "cut" those kind of box too, like wooden crate, and they spawn items as well (not every time).
True!
Returning back to the classic UI, items and suits is a huge addition, IMO. Vanilla got too much tacticool stuff or something that was just straight up ripped from other games, like armor from the Metro series. Also, looks like that CBT-fest called "crafting" is no more, and I couldnt be happier.
Basically it's just Shadow of Chernobyl but better. I envy you.
I had almost thought when this said "Old world addon", it was the old style maps from like Oblivion lost remake, or lost alpha remake. I'd love to see those maps in anomaly, bigger open world maps for this would be the best. This is still a cool idea though, looks worth a play through.
That would be crazy!
Well, you're in luck, cuz there literally is a mod that does that exactly that, and it's called Legend Returns (version 0.9.2)! Takes the look and feel from Oblivion Lost and old SoC builds, has a brand new story for each faction, has an in-depth leveling system, and a lot more.
Version 1.0 is still in development, but one thing that you can expect that no other mod has ever done before (as far as I know) is that you'll be able to sit down and play the guitar. Almost in the same way you can in the Last of Us Part II. :)
@@levthedergI've played this year, full storyline. I loved, played as a "Slime".
They should create a sandbox mod for lost alpha like anomaly, and if they add gunslinger with those giant maps. Man, that would be gooold!
It is so much more enjoyable than suffering with survivalist anomaly
first start and the first stash opened is an Expert Tools
a sign of good hunting, Stalker~
One of the bugs that caused other loners to shoot at you, is that you accidentally took a bullet.
The game was already broken in itself, when you accidentally shot another stalker and the rest turned against you, but there was also this other one that when you got shot by an ally, they took you as an enemy.
What I don't know, is if this is a bug of this addon, or something brought from the original game.
Wait was it actually because i got shot?
That’s so messed up lol
@@WaveysGamingAdventureEven the loners rejected you. Damn.
Im glad to see you again! hope u can upload more videos soon
For such small addon (550 MB?) it changes the game significantly. Spend unhealthy amount of time with it. No idea why P90 is here, don't remember it in the original?
But OW addon is not too close to the original trilogy because pistols are not garbage in this mod, so we won't experience ATP assault with Makarov again...
Relation is funky - did a lot of tasks to Duty and Military became neutral with me. But they heli still assaults me when I'm getting too close to their base.
Armor balance is not for everyone but still nice. One thing - Duty trader give more cash for AK's and eastern block guns with Freedom and Mercs traders give more cash for Western guns.
Yeah it’s surprising how much it modifies!
The P90 is a cut weapon from SoC, I believe
It's a 5.56 gun in Lost Alpha iirc, "Zone Gunsmiths" is the excuse
There is also a redux version.
@@alexandrumarinescu1 thanks for the info, might give it a try later
Been playing Anomaly with this mod and I'm really enjoying it. Not found any issues with it at all so far.
Yep, downloading the mod right now and starting a new invictus run
Easy now Dimitri, this is the good stuff.
Ol Sid was just kidding. He saw Wavey walk in and just said to himself "know what, let me mind fuck wavey right quick so he thinks im unpredictable." XD
wavey upload is always class
Anomaly repairs to both weapons and armor can be done for super cheap with the variety of glues, oils and other starter items which work without a bench. You can not only combine them with other repair items but with themselves and cost pennies in comparison to a mechanic. Not only that but you won't need to disassemble another gun again. Sure it's unrealistic as hell to get an exo up to 100% with nothing but superglue and faction patches but it does spare you the money grind in the anomaly economy.
Why, it's a Steven Seagal-version of Stalker. Just misses an invincible chef's hat to be perfectly perfect.
As and oldass STALKER vet who never even wants to touch tryhard Anomaly and Gamma style clusterfuck mods,
it's just hilarious to see a certified Anomaly zoomer be "amazed" at how fast paced and FAIR priced the "vanilla" experience can be.
Zone ain't got no inflation!!?? 😳😳😳
Who in the zone is printing money?
Not anymore!!!
Hmm, interesting mod pack. :) _Correction:_ This pack includes SarisKhan's *Lost to the Zone* story mod, not LA:DC. Merging LA with Anomaly would be a _much_ bigger job! :D
Aahhhh okay, i remember reading about changes but couldn’t remember exactly
@@WaveysGamingAdventure No big deal, I was curious when I saw the original GSC maps and not the LA versions so I looked it up on ModDB. SarisKhan's story mod is quite popular for Call of Chernobyl (my STALKER jam) as well! 😃
Im gonna be honest there needs to be more of theses build/trilogy style mods for anomaly, old world addon is good but it could definitely be more SoC or Build like
I can fell this nostalgic style and that monolith elites are no brain. I still frustated while playing SoC on Highest difficulty to test my sanity on it. 🤣🤣
Finished Wind of Time, now it's time for this one. 😂
6:18 In original SoC the artifact stone blood was dark reddish, like crushed animal parts-looking, that artifact is in SoC Soul I think...?
I replayed SoC recently with the Autumn Aurora mod (which I don't believe affects spawn rates) and Radar for me was about the same as it was for you. Monolith bastards everywhere, huge groups.
Hahaha okay so it’s just like SoC, except I was able to go within a hour of gameplay lol
This mod just like the classic Call of Chernobyl but better and more like the "old stalker trilogy"
Couldn't uninstall or undo the changes this mods made and ended up needing to uninstall anomaly itself. GG
That's why you have to use MO2
wavey!! where where you man been waiting for an upload from ya
Heh i bought a house lol
Plus had to deal with a lot of family stuff last month
Looks more relaxed compared to Anamoly, nice!
Any non-spoiler feedback on changes to the story?
Oi...Wavey. Do you know why after finish the installation on GAMMA RC3, the icon doesn't appear on desktop?
Anomaly is interesting, but a little bit of a PAIN to play becuse it's like
Vanilla game: Repair your pistol? 50 R. I will buy this artifact for 20 000R. Want a bandage? Sure, 100 RU.
Anomaly is like: Repair your pistol? 500R. I will buy this artifact for 2000 R. Want a bandage? Sure, 1000 RU.
Anomaly is a joke in this regard... too much of a struggle, I understand that Cordon, life is harsh, food hard to get, amoo aswell... buuuuuut nope. Artifacts should be worth a fortune, not just enough to repair my armor and buy some bread XDDDD
( I finished Anomaly though... what a pain)
Old World is like vanilla...but even easier :D
personally i prefer it this way, of course the traders would scalp people the same or near same amount as corporations irl, paying less for hard labour and asking more for basic supplies n such, gives it that grounded vibe
Well in the Zone itself artifacts even in novels were NOT that expensive. It was hard to smuggle them outside, and only there they were expensive. The more you push from Cordon the more expensive things should be in terms of ammo, supplies and food as most of it is smuggled from the outside. But guns should be cheaper (influx of them) same as the artifacts to buy/sell.
This is stalker that we should get
Is this a patch or the full addon because it too small for a full addon only 531.18mb
the fact that it uses wasteland 1
Legend Returns 2.0 ?
So nostalgic
I love wavy so much
❤️
hey,song at the end?
Its the Old World
tmw the original/builds sky from 15+ yrs ago looks way better than 2022 pointless 8k ultra mega HD
finally the stalker we all wanted and the dedicated ppl at GSC intended to give us
I like the music at the end, who is the artist?
The song is Summit by Ruzer
@@WaveysGamingAdventure Thanks!
Do this mod improves fps?
I don't think the mod itself does, but there's a bunch of texture mods that give you better FPS, one of which restores the original textures from the STALKER Trilogy, goes great with this mod, improves FPS too!
Yeah no quite
It modifies the gameplay, doesn’t change much visually i dont think
So its just call of chernobyl in anomaly?
What's the main menu music?
If you plan to make this a series it will be over in 3 or 4 episodes
Lol yeah that’s why i don’t think i will
i'm gonna play this!!
So when I said. I want a vanilla +.
Old world or dark signal ?
I mean.. if you want Anomaly gameplay, Dark Signal.
If you want Anomaly to play like Shadow of Chernobyl, then Old world.
I've played Lost Alpha ; Many more different locations, car driving, one more faction (Sins) and full of bugs...
Yooo let's goo!
I would recommend just playing STALKER Lost Alpha. It's another free standalone mod. It's based on SoC, but was built to based on as much information they could get from Devs about their original vision for the game. They got A LOT, including concept art, area maps, missions, mutants, etc. It's a huge game!! It looks great too. I believe they used a newer version of the engine than the original SoC. It has vehicles too, although the physics are rather wacky and you often end up flipping over or blowing up. You can flip the car back over & repair though. This addon, seems to make it like SoC.....on easiest mode. Actually I don't even think it could be made so easy(adjusting for content roughly). *Tip if you have problems playing it on your system get the previous build without the launcher. It doesn't play too well with newer systems.
Also that cat sound is just background sound. They replaced the sound which would be nice sometimes.
Lastly to all those that say it's "too involved" or "bloated with items", please feel free to play Fallout 4! That was the game they made for you!! If corprate starts breathing down the necks of the STALKER 2 Devs to dumb it down like what happend to Elder Scrolls etc because people who don't like games like STALKER.....don't like STALKER, I'm going to be pissed! Thankfully we can Mod UE5 pretty easy. It will just be a shame if it then continued on that slide into mediocrity so many others have before.
Those Monolith area just gets worse, was always one of my favorite raids in Lost Alpha.
I have Lost Alpha on my list of things to make videos on, it may have jumped up the list recently though
justifing item bloat whit another item bloat game lol tarkomaly fans at it again
@@Jelkitosix666 I don't think I get your point. Justifying what item bloat with what game? Idk if you are saying LA is "bloated" with items, but of that is the case, I prefer that than extremely narrowed choices and bloated with voice acting which was paid for by reducing content. If there are a lot of items, you don't have to use them, but it creates a lot more options. Kinda like PC vs Mac. Also I never got into Tarkov but I have been playing STALKER for like 17 years, sorry if I want to branch off from Vanilla.
No you got it wrong, i love lost alpha i was talking about the " go play fallout 4" part, you cant be elitist if you like anomaly unironically
Does anyone know if the food,drugs and drink mod is compatible with this modset?
Probably not, since the animations are built for anomaly, not heavily modified versions
@@WaveysGamingAdventure Alright thanks
this is the stalker version they gave the game journalists
🤣
Anomaly but based?!
Vanilla anomaly is too tedious, Good thing theres this mod that changes everything to vanilla stalker but on anomalies engine and basically this is how stalker 2 is gonna be so dont expect anomaly like difficulty by default.
interesting
Mod looks fun, but like the epitome of EZ.
Anomaly was my first, and the thing that made that game so appealing was the oppressive atmosphere combined with the fuck you mechanics. Doing missions at night legitimately makes my armpits leak, and the feeling of salvation the moment I step into a friendly base is unparalleled. This mod is like being the kid who has every toy in the Sand-box, so you don't have to use any imagination.
An hour in and you have 6 guns, the best medium armor in the game, and 2 pairs of expert tools.
You don't even need to have played OG stalker to tell that's fucked.
It definitely changes the progression dramatically
anomaly fans when you dont have to clean half the zones mutants to get a shitty sawn of and two breads(not atmospheric)
do you consider this addon a good place for someone who hasn't played anomaly to start learning all the new mechanics that come with it?
@@w4lkingc4t4 It should serve you fine. Though at that point the game is just COP with more areas, and a weaker story. The sandbox is still mad fun tho, but anomaly on higher progression difficulties is a whole different beast
@@Jelkitosix666 SHOC fans when they can't get the best Assault Rifle in the game before leaving Cordon
"wasn't like real stalker"
One thing i always disliked about most mod packs is that artfects are dirt cheap to sell and a pain in the ass to get. I play efp. Maybe i'm missing something other them mission, but those never ask me what i have.
OJ heloo thereee my frend how u doing
anomaly if it was a good game
Gets op in 3 seconds.
*GREAT GAME GUISE*.
Lmfao.
@@samithonjames370 bro hasn't played the trilogy
@@baseddlite7306 I own all three games.
They're easy and boring.
Grisha Gay
this addon is making this game look too easy, i like more gamma difficulty starts super hard and end game becomes less difficult but still hard
It does change the progression dramatically
great mod for kids 😂
Мод чисто для детишек кто впервые играет в Сталкер, не более. Базовые механики старых частей, и минимум всего. Без того же BaS не вижу смысла играть, ведь есть ванильный Сталкер. Конечно с этим модом можно легко пройти сюжетную линию Аномали, но не вижу в этом смысла. В первую очередь Аномалия это Фри Плей, а уже потом можно и сюжет, после модов разумеется.
I’m gonna die aaaaaaaaaaa
