Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V has seen virtually every record in the book and raised it, and five years after launch we’re still marveling at its presence in the NPD top 10 each month. Long loading screens certainly haven’t been enough to rain on the parade, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to complain about them anyway. I’ve just done some quick research for this piece to remind myself of the severity of the problem, and one guide reads: if your game has taken longer than five minutes to load, there may be a problem. Five minutes! You’ve got to be joking?
Look, I get it, Los Santos is a sprawling, hugely detailed open-world, and when you throw online into the mix, even powerful PC processors are going to start chugging, let alone a vanilla PS4, but come on. I can make a sandwich or two in that time, and run down the road to top up my supply of peanut butter. Roll on the next-generation, I say…
