Holy crap I just got this on PC and the loading times are out of control - sure the game looks good but nothing more than any other gen7 game. Is there some mod or something for this? I already played it on PS3 so I don't care about watching the cutscenes again. Yes, I have a good rig and a SSD.

 

[PaulKersey]

Agreed 100%. I loved the crap out of that game, but I only played through it twice because of the load times. I hate watching 75% of every cutscene with no ability to skip it. Makes no sense.

The loading times in Max Payne 3 are too long

fixed.

But, yes. Those cut scenes are fucking nauseating.

 

[toastyToast]

If by loading times you mean the unskippable cutscenes then yes, it's bullshit.

I know its bullshit because if you quit after a checkpoint preceded by a long ass cutscene you can restart from that checkpoint within seconds compared to however long that cutscene was. I was hyped to do a replay but fuck that

 

[John_RiticelloEA]

I believe it is an overall Rockstar issue.

GTA 4 on PC had horrific optimization, and while MP3 is alot better, it seems almost expected that something about the game would be sub par. Thankfully, it isn't a CPU/GPU melting issue like GTA 4 had.

As for tweaks to fix it, I do not know of any.

Well you can mash the enter key at any time but it says "still loading" so I guess it's loading? When I first launched the game it took so long I thought it had crashed - no joke it must have been a full 5 minutes.

Amazing gameplay, terrible game : stupid useless overly used cuscene, insanely long loading... THis was terrible to go through

How dialogue/cutscenes are not skippable as an option past 2010 is totally beyond me. Yes, we get that AAA titles have a shit ton of effort put into them, but really, sometimes you just want to play the game.

It's the reason stuff like LA Noire and Borderlands 2 have a greatly diminished nostalgic/replayability value for me. Which is ironic considering how much Borderlands 2 is designed to be replayed.

(You can disable movies in BL2 PC but that does nothing for the amount of times you have to wait around for the questionably-funny-on-the-10th-repetition dialogue to play out)

Yes that's what's so frustrating - great gameplay and just a whole different feel with kb/m - but god damn they don't make it easy for you.

 

[petran79]

dont complain. have you played GTAV and Last of Us on PS3?

5 minutes till you load a save game.....

 

[Marvel]

Doesn't bother me, playing it now (PC). The cutscenes are really good.

I can imagine it is annoying after you have completed the game though... shit lol.

 

[NingenJanai]

It was fine when I played it, didn't time it but it was like any other pc game, the most annoying thing was getting connected to rockstar social club.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

It's incredibly frustrating how often the game takes over control. Poor game design 101. I want to play a game, not watch a movie.

 

[Rickenslacker]

"Loading times". They just made a bunch of cutscenes unskippable and lie to you about the still loading indicator in the corner, really frustrating as it's the sole thing preventing me from ever replaying the game.

 

[R1CHO]

It's awful, i want to play it again because of the sweet sweet shooting... But the loading times and cinematics are frustrating as hell.

 

[Messofanego]

No, they're not loading the game, in case you're wondering.
