So, loading times in the new installment of majorly mediocre stealther-sniper (now in open-world, yay!) are a bloody nightmare.
Eurogamer booted up the game and discovered that – on the PS4 version at least – the load times for traveling between the four regions in the game is around five minutes.
What have CI Games have to say for themselves? Well…
They’re aware of the issue “but thanks to this decision we were able to shorten any loading times during missions, respawns, and fast travel to a minimum.”
Now, these sure don’t look like “a minimum” to me, to be honest with ya.
- fast travel 4-15s
- load last checkpoint (depend on situation) 15-30s
- Restart mission 25s
They also don’t hesitate to call that ‘fast’ travel, too. In any case, we’re giving this one a wide pass. Many happy blank stares!
