So i got a new game for christmas which i tried out for the first time the other day, great game with good storyline and overall gameplay but it has one extremly irritating problem and that is load screens. Every time an in-game cinematic loads, a fight starts, the area changes, i go into/out of a room theres a load screen. Surely there must be some way around this? It really sucks out the enjoyment of a game when i have to spend half of my playtime staring at a load screen. Would you accept it in a movie if everytime they changed scene you got a load screen? How about listening to a song where between each verse and chrous theres a pause whilst it loads? No you wouldn’t accept it and gamers shouldn’t have to either.
