So you're asking me to choose between long tunnels to act as loading between zones or a black screen with the name of the zone splashed on it? I'm going to choose the black screen. Most players would just whine that the long tunnels are too long and they want to get through them faster while having no idea that those tunnels are just there to slow the player down so the next area can load. It's like elevators in Mass Effect. People hated them because they were slow, but they existed to hide loading screens.
