I have a hard time when people complain about loading screens. I've been gaming since the 70s guys, let me tell you about load times:

You'd start loading a game from tape and then you might as well go have dinner with your family because it would be 30 to 60 minutes before you could play.
Or, it could hit a loading error 5 minutes after you walked away and now you have to start all over again...
