Loading.............................................................................................

[Knusper]

I just got Shogun 2 Total War in the Steam sales and one thing that strikes me is the loading times especially the one when you start the game with the copyright information before the opening cinematic. But I guess it can only be blamed on me for refusing to turn the settings off highest when my computer can't handle it.

 

[Fbuh]

Fallout 3. Yeah. Nailed it.

This and Oblivion. I'd start up Oblivion, and then wander off for about half an hour to wait fo it to load.

 

[FalloutJack]

Can't recall. Too much video gaming bliss.

 

[teh_Canape]

the longest?

by far it would be Pure on the PC

my god, I swear I found, figured out and slain a Colossus in Shadow of the Colossus in the time since I pressed "start race" until the race actually started

Almost anything on the old Amstrad CPC 464. Xcom TFTD on the Psone was a small nightmare on every geoscape to battlefield loading screen too. OH! here's one...Metal Slug Anthology on the PSP does my head in for momentarily loading lag at the character select screen and taking 10 seconds to synch sounds to display.

But usually I'm okay with loading times as a whole with most games, weird as it sounds.

Unreal Tournament GOTY, sooo many custom maps the game had to download before playing, soo many times where it would be halfway through a custom map and they'd finish the game and start the next game on a DIFFERENT custom map that I didn't have... Thank god that was a few years back on a crappier computer and connection.

Eh...there's the opposite problem. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines gives you some game relevant text to read while it's loading. Often it'll be a big slab of text, and the loading might not take much time. There's a whole bunch of those, and they seem to come up at random, though they fortunately repeat (and some of them gets repalced by new ones as the game goes on).

So I move to a new area, a big slab of text comes up, and I quickly try to remember how much of that one I read last time, and look at the bits I missed. That's alot more difficult than most of the game.

 

[PoweD]

TF2,GMOD,HL2, and all of the Source games.
And its not that my pc is crap,I can run them all on max.

Crash bandicoot: wrath of cortex. Good grief they took forever anywhere up to five mins on a console is flat out awful.

The true answer is, any sinclair spectrum games which seemed to take weeks to load and would almost allways crash right at the end wasting all that time.

 

[EradiusLore]

The Elder Scrolls, Morrowind.

Sweet mother a' mercy...

really? i never had any problems on my PC even with mods.

hmmm i would say most of paradox interactive's grand strategy games

 

[Zhukov]

Uhh... I seem to remember Jedi Outcast and Jedi Acedemy taking ages to load when playing them on a laptop. Although I didn't really mind.

I don't think I've ever really been pissed of by loading times. They have to be really long and really frequent to get under my skin.

Luckily, for some strange reason beyond my ken, my trusty Mac loads like a champ. For example, I've often heard people complaining about the loading times in Dragon Age 2, Duke Nukem and Portal 2. None of those games ever left me loading for longer than ten seconds.

Spyro: enter the dragonfly, for PS2.
Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex, for PS2.

I found them both to both to load for ridicilously long amount of times. I still love both. I managed to ''finish'' Crash Bandicoot, but the Spyro game got ruined while I played it. The irony of the Spyro game was that the damage just made the game load infinitely.

Damnit, ninja'd on the 464 ;-;

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex, for PS2.

Agreed... thats about all I can say aboot this topic

 

[BytByte]

Modnation racers on the PS3 are usually a minute no matter what needs to be loaded, so it's annoying how a new patch to fix the loading times hasn't been made yet.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Oblivion. Not helped by the fact that sometimes those loading screens crashed the game.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Not going to lie, TF2 have some long ass Loads time.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.

Fucking hell......

THIS. OH BLOODY HELL THIS.

Oh and X7's were really bad too >.<
