All the negative reviews are real and on point.
Big stalker fan here (top 10 games for me).
Playing during night and lunch time, but 2/3 of my playtime is just waiting for loading, one way or another - really, trust me!

I don't mind having poor a-life now, they can improve it. I can "wait" a bit more for loading shaders, yeah, it sucks, but I could wait... the economy is really &¨%%& up ... but my biggest issue is the constant in game loading of stuff that even bothers you pressing input keys sometimes. Yes, you have DELAY on input keys because the animation and graphics of something you were using was still not loaded (or it STARTS TO LOAD AGAIN if you reach a big point of interest that also requires more loading). Very annoying! I've died many times because of this (you are in a gun fight, needs to heal quickly... NOPE, graphics for the bandage or medkit are still loading somehow and you can't use it).

I will review again after they fix this.
