What is the most annoying load screen you have ever experienced.
I really hate Dragon Age's loadin screen. It takes so god damn long time to load, and its always the same. I got it for PC, and my PC isnt the best so maybe that is one of the reasons it takes so long, but when I have to wait 2-3 minutes for an area to load and a load screen appears every 10 minutes, it gets annoying really quickly

The first Stuntman takes the cake for me, there. It was common to fail a challenge repeatedly, sometimes only 5-10 seconds into the course, and it had to reload the entire level on each and every retry, which could sometimes take upwards of a minute.

I think I spent at least 2 of the 3 hours I tried to actually play that game just staring at loading screens. Suffice it to say, I neither got very far or was interested in even trying to make it to the end....

Not a big fan of Assassin's Creed loadscreens. Walking around the white Animus with no idea of how long the load was, stuppppppiiid.

Dead Space.
Oh look, I've died *grabs book*.
It takes soooooo long to load! There's not even that much it has to re-load ffs!

Splinter Cell: Conviction is also really annoying. I assume it'll become significant when I get further on in the game, but I'm nearly at the end anyway and it still makes no sense.

The elevators in Mass Effect.
Also: For me, the Dragon Age loading screens never took more than several seconds (and mine isn't top of the line, its just a fairly decent laptop), so your computer is probably the thing at fault there.

The Wii when you download anything. Especially at the end when Mario is bouncing the coins out of the one block.

Mass Effect 2's. It's a set time on PC. If you want stuff to load at the actual time it should, you have to disable them.

just the ones that don't even have a loading bar suck for me. I don't know whether I should go make a sandwhich or if the game is going to load in 1 second. The best load screen has got to be Star Wars Battlefront's, it is sick. It zooms in on where the battlefield is in the galaxy, which looks awsome.

Probably World of Warcraft's during Wotlk. Arthas staring at me......FOREVER.
Agreed, WOTLK loading screen was the worst. It was even worse when the game decided to crash with the bar half way through loading and you didn't realize until a few minutes later that it was not actually loading anything anymore.

Not really a load screen, but the never ending ladder in Metal Gear Solid 3. It was nice to hear the song and that the first time, but after that it is just toooooooooooooooooooooo long.

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I didnt see it as a load screen, but as an incredibly tough boss fight. The urge to jump down the ladder when you reached the top was so hard to resist

Dungeon lords had the worst loading screens I've ever experienced. Mostly, due to the lack of a progress bar.

TES IV: Oblivion. My god that game took forever to load anything. Granted, I'm sure it was faster on a PC than on the 360, but come on...

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly.
On top of how insanely long they are, there is a loading screen for the loading screen.
If that isn't redundancy, I don't know what is.

Mass Effect 2 for having one on board the damn ship. If we can walk an entire enemy space ship without one then why do we need one to walk between floors on a damn scouting vessel.

Dead Space 2, not the loading screens as such but the ridiculously long death animations, that take up as much time as a traditional loading screen (and this is before the loading screen.)

yup, I really enjoy the games (even the 1st one, which I realize is rare) but they did piss me off. What's the point of being able to move around in a load sequence when there's nowhere to go???

Also the Mass Effect 2 screens. I acknowledge that they at least made the effort to make them look nice, but I am still annoyed by just how much I have to see of them.
