Witcher 3 on a PS4. Took more than a minute loading to do "Fast" traveling around the map.

BF2 on PC took YEARS to load

 

[Sooner]

PS2 version of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It had some 2 minute load screens (I timed it once) just as transitions into certain missions. My copy was a bit scratched up though so I do not know how representative my experience with the game is.

My brother had a C64 and that shit took forever. I remember watching the counter more than I remember any of the games.

The worst loading times are any which are being deliberately used to influence how you play the game. I hate that.

Trully worst loading time experiences happend on atari 800/xl cassettes, not only it took some games 15 to 20minutes to load in, sometimes durning that process u could experience critical errors aka u had to star over

 

[Erebus]

Already mentioned but MGS4.

 

[Dazraell]

I'm surprised no one yet mentioned Red Dead 2 on PS4

Typing games in from Computer & Video Games counts right - That took a couple of hours

You actually typed in the code to play?

Definetly cassette games, I remember an f1 game on bbc that I had to pause the tape between the splash screen rendering and the game proper loading or it would be 10mins wasted.

Beat only by hundreds of lines of magazine game code listings that contained bugs. Which was often.

PSX / neogeo cd too long? those kids complaining didn't know they were born....

 

[GymWolf]

I have never been overly annoyed by long loading times so i cant pin point a specific game to save my life

I guess commodore64 games took a while to load the cassette and that was a bit annoying.

One of the worst was DMC 5 - there are so many loading screens you had to navigate, it makes it feel like the loading screen doesnt ever end.

ME2 but to their credit the loading screens keep you engaged.'

Yeah several pages of data strings .I remember a semi decent breakout clone on the dragon 32

 

[Sticks]

The original Resi games were a pain. All those stupid door animations.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Last Blade on Neo Geo CD always stood out to me. It's so much more tedious than a single long load screen.

Holy crap… that takes the cake.

Did they ever do neo geo cd with faster loading?

Yes. Neo Geo CDZ. It does not help that game though.

Tekken 5 had annoying load times.
