I was just wondering if you have come across some games that have long loading times.  This kind of thing usually does not bother me, but lately, I have been playing Fallout New Vegas and Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga.  Both games are truly awesome and I have spent a lot of hours on them, especially New Vegas.  But for the first time, mostly with Divinity II, I find that the loading times (games installed to the hard drive) are way too frequent and long.  I am talking around 40 secondes each time I come out of a building.  I know these game worlds are massive and full of NPC's and events, but it's starting to get to me a little.  I will play both until the end, because they are such great games, but I hope a patch fixes this somehow. 

So, have you come across other games that have long and frequent loading times?  Thanks!

Nothing could be worse than Namco's "Death By Degrees" for the PS2.  That game loaded so much that I was afraid to do anything because I was afraid it would cause another load screen.  I haven't run across that sort of thing too often (if at all) this gen.

I didn't mind the New Vegas load times until you get to the point where you fast travel to most locations. Then the game devolved into equal parts of play time vs. load screens. 

GT5 has some longer load times, but I've never really been bothered by them. 

Dragon Age II was fairly annoying with the amount of load screens you had to jump through, It didn't help that the game was massively disappointing.

we must defeat loading screens!

It is odd that it seems like we haven't made much headway against the scurge that is loading times in the last couple generations. Obviously for those of us that grew up on cartridges, it's a hard pill to swollow when loading starts to actually interfere with the flow of a game, especially a good game. A few games have done a  good job masking load times as other actions in game (Metroid Prime always come to mind), but even then I hope developers and the Big 3 are actually working on ways to reduce or eliminate load times in the coming generation. Knowing our luck, they'll be longer or you'll have to be the "short load time" DLC or something equally as backward.

Most of the PS3 exclusives have little to no load times. 

Just the exclusives?

It has nothing to do with the PS3, I promise you, it has to do with how the game is setup.

Take Uncharted for example, the reason it appears it has no loading screens is because when you die and reload a checkpoint, they smartly just store off the positions of all the persistent things in the world (ammo, bodies, etc), depsawn all the enemies, and warp the player to checkpoint.  It takes seconds because they unload nothing.  They really don't have to worry about physics objects states because there really just aren't many.

When the game is actually doing a load, it is being hidden by movies (pretty common thing).

Now, if you start Uncharted and then load a random chapter that isn't preceded by a movie, you'll notice a load time as bad as some of the worst games.

Like I said, nothing to do with the PS3 at all, it had to do with how they set the game up.

On the ps2 I bought Spyro... I loved them on the ps1 so I thought, yeeeeeah shure a great game, anyway the game sucked and the loading times were ridiculous. Yeah I then realised for the first time that publishers somethimes own the game names and not the makers...

And on ps3 I bought modnation racers....same happend! I heard its better now, but I have no interest left...

the loading times in tekken 6 ruined the game for me.
