i got suckered (fuckered) into playing GAMMA and while it was fun and immersive the load times got so bad after 30ish hours of playing that i was spending more time in loading screens than in the game. this seems to be expected behavior of the mod based on tech support convos in the gamma discord. if the jank doesnt fuck you up this is stalking pleasure but its definitely worth playing the original games (or even just call of pripyat) before playing an overhaul like anomaly/gamma
