    Loading Screens

    Is it normal to wait 10-20 seconds looking at a black loading screen when you change maps or begin/end cutscenes? Is it me or the server lagging behind? Will this be alleviated if I upgrade to the PS4 version when it's released?

    Actually this is because of the PS3, you can reduce the loading screens with a SDD or wait to the PS4.

    As I thought. I think I'll just wait for the PS4, upgrading my 6 or 7 year-old PS3 seems like an expensive pain in the butt.

    Don't feel bad, for some reason I have 20-30 second (or more) load times on every zone change.

    No reason my computer should be lagging this bad, but it is..... so I curse but walk off and get a soda.

    Ever get raged at because people think you're watching cutscenes?

    My understanding is the loading screen time is based on your general system strength. I have a mid-tier PC but my loading times are usually like 5-10 seconds at most.

    Some zones just seem worse than others, like towns.

    I find it not too bad but it maybe due to the fact I run it from an SSD my loading screens longest normally no more than 3-5 seconds but I again I assume this is due to having an SSD.
