Why I Hate Loading Screens
I don’t mind the screen itself, I just don’t like how it interrupts the flow of the game.
I have recently started playing Oblivion again and have entered the Assasins guild intent on getting to the top, and [MINOR SPOILER ALERT!] one of the missions you have to sneak into a castle and poison a warlord and not allow his team of mecenarys see you, brillient. My hearts started to race when an enemy passed inches away from me and I remained undetected, I got to the cabinet, replaced the medicine with the poison and stole away again, my heart was still racing when I delivered a single arrow to someones head, killed her in one shot, and left.
But instantly I go to a loading screen, my heart stops pumping and I lose the feeling of excitement.
You see, I play video games to feel like I’m in another world, to escape real life, but when I get to a loading screen the spell is instantly broken and I’m hurled back into real life.
If that loading screen hadn’t of appeared I would of ran of, got on my horse and rode away, all the while feeling like a assasin.
Please developers, I don’t want higher frame rates, photorealistic graphics or anything like that, I just want a game that draws you in, makes you feel like you’re someone else, and then doesn’t ruin it with loading screens.
What do you think?
