Haven't played the PS4 version, but the loading times on Switch are mostly in the range of 5-8 seconds when transitioning between areas or fast traveling. It's more common that a loading time is below the aforementioned range than above it, but both instances are rare. In general, you have just enough time to read the three to five lines of loading screen tips and info before the game continues. In any case, the Switch version doesn't have long loading times. The loading times don't sit in the short 2-4 seconds range or are non-existent, but 5-8 seconds is still bearable, especially because you commonly spend quite some time in any given area. A bigger issue is that the ultra-speed battle option still only nets a speed that I would call medium-fast at best, because there's a lot more battling to be done than loading new areas. Although the game says that hitting the A or B button can be used to further speed up battles, but having to press a button all the time is tedious and I am still conflicted if the effort is worth the extra time that can be saved. |
Thanks for the info. Witcher 3 had one minute long loading times. I'll be trading in my PS4 copy and picking up the Switch version. (It's okay, I only paid $24 for my PS4 version, and I get $15 off the Switch version!)
