Your 'it is not even that good of a recreation' comment is simply not correct. is based on either des docs or lifted straight from the builds, it is great to trek across old maps and see what Stalker could have been without being reminded that this is a fan project like LA. Nearly every mission, event, sound, model etc. Not only the mod delivers its promise nearly perfectly it is also the most faithful one. OLR is THE most well made restoration project out there.

Even if you look at it as an original mod and not a restoration project it has huge problems like terrible pacing that forces you to move back and forth, beautiful but pointlessly huge and empty maps, barebones side missions, awful fanfic style story, stupid additions that not only doesn't belong in the game but also lower the quality such as adding that one overrated Youtuber to the Bar etc. LA is nothing but flair, it completely fails to deliver its initial promise, to give the fans a faithful playable version of the cut, forgotten SoC. OLR is closely as what STALKER aimed in 2004 but man, the recreation of it is not even that good or so it seems to me at the very least. You got the likes of Misery, Anomaly, CoC and others. The point is, OLR is a waste of time and it's better to play other STALKER mods. The PDA works quite well, as intended obviously. Lost Alpha, on the other hand, is more polished and runs in the engine of CoP. Maybe there is something that I'm missing but it's boring and weary to look all over the maps when these are bigger than the ones presented in SoC. Side quests are only marked on your PDA, main quests are not. I mean, basically the PDA in this mod is useless as there are no pointers where to go, you keep wandering around what to do, it's tacky. Which one is better?įrom what I've played so far, Lost Alpha is definitely the better of the two. For anyone who has played either both or just one of the mods that I mentioned.
