Forums - Gaming - Worst loading times!

Maybe this thread has been done before, by I'm actually playing a gmae that has vme very frustrated because of loading times: The Orange Box for PS3.

If you're killed it take around 20 seconds to load the level again, at certain points when you advance in the game it takes around 20 seconds to load the next level... I've heard that for the 360 version it only takes 3 seconds!!

 Anyone here been frustrated by loading times?

Orange box really? They didn't annoy me at all..Maybe because you suck at the game and die whole the time =p.

Oblivion had pretty long loading times that frustated some people;






Well the PS3 of the Orange box loads for eternity, really, I don't think I die that much, but when I do I just want to stop playing because of the loading times... But the game is so good I just have to go back!



As much as what I'm about to say isn't very justified because of how large the game is, the opening load and mission loads in GTA IV are excrutiating to sit through. The opening load is especially bad because it's the same three pictures every time. They really should have had a random sampling of like 50 to pick 3 from every time you start the game up.

Yes, the Orange Box on the PS3 had some crazy long load times. It helps to solidify my stance for PC gaming because loading a quicksave during gameplay only takes a couple of seconds max, yet it took like 30 seconds or more on the PS3.

Also, I really hate the opening screens in GTAIV as well.

Orange box loading was the EA wrath from hell on the PS3. Please Valve keep EA away from your games.
I remember one situation were I was on an elevator and things came flying down from above you had to push away with the grav gun. i died a 100times and almost bit my controller.
Otherwise I had no problems with loading on PS3 games. But the orange box was terrible.

(Otherwise great game though not even EA can frak one of the best games ever.)

This is a bit weird? I had many times more problems with game loading on the PC than on the PS3. IMO one thing console games normally get right.
The orange box may be an example to the contrary but it was ported by EA which should say everything. Try playing Ratchet or Uncharted almost no load-times.



Orange Box on PC was the best version of the three.



I thought the loading times on Motorstorm were frustrating... Hope they stop them with the 2nd one!



PES 2008 PSP, it said to be better than the previous ones, but they are still woeful
Motorstorm does suffer, but it isn't that bad
