I haven't really noticed them during my first hour or so of playing. That's usually a good sign when load times don't interfere with the flow of the game. At the very least, you won't be aware of them without specifically looking for load sequences or listening to the drive accessing. If I go back and play through again, I'm sure I'll be able to find the load spots, but I'd rather just enjoy the game instead. There are cinematic transitions between play sections and story sequences, but there aren't any blatant "now loading" type screens or pauses, or even in game workarounds to hide load times like the infamous Mass Effect elevators. |
This is kind of what I'm getting at. Loading off a disc doesn't take much time at all I know, but over time...all those load sequences build up. Eventually over the sequence of the game you might have built up load times that could equal or be greater than that time it took to install to the HDD. Load times from discs are just more tolerable because it doesn't take long at all, and you don't really notice the multitude of load times. Anyway, to me I think it's worth waiting a few minutes to have unnoticable load times from the HDD.
