It's shorter though, but in general that's why I really hate console launches. The games that come out don't take advantage of the hardware and are often ports. I doubt this game is fully optimized, especially seeing how late devs got a hold of devkits and the fact that they might just be lazy. I say 2018 and we'll see games that really take advantage of Switch's capabilities, hardware, etc., starting with Mario Odyssey. Hell, if you ask me, Arms looks like it started out life on Wii U. I don't think this is a sign of things to come but rather the launch effect.

open world games dont exactly have a great history with load times. i remember GTA V also having a ridiculous load time when booting up the game. plus, waiting 1 minute is forgivable for loading the entire world and playing throughout it seamlessly. its still a pain, but forgivable

On the one hand its faster, on the other they still suck.. Maybe that ridiculous 13 GB patch will improve them even more?

i asked the questipn to a reviewer on youtube.  said about 40 seconds on ps4 

Yeah it was annoying on the Wii U. But my 7 year old brother is the only one who plays it..... so he probably doesnt mind

Well if it weren't for the "die on the streets" part I was going to ask what you would do with the other 13 seconds while your game was still loading.

Guess those 13GBs will help with loading times then :p
