Well it all depends.

I did find the Deus Ex loading screens annoying, but in many cases they gave me time to recover my thoughts and re-organise my mind for another effort if I died, but for progressing the story it gets annoying

It isn't really the loading screens that are the problem for me, but unskippable cutscenes or very frequent delays between scenes. Gears 3 actually did this a lot. My friend and I have been playing on insane, and doing a bit rubbish, so dieing a lot. The issue is that they put the checkpoints behind these unskippable cut scenes and sections where you are forced to walk slowly, and that is really infuriating, that is just bad game design as opposed to technology issues, and Gears is certainly not the only game with that issue
