True but I never suggested this. If the ONLY thing you can remember about a game is the long load times that means that was the only aspect of the game memorable enough to stick with you long term. Not a good sign if you ask pretty much anyone.

I have to question this simply because I can't think of any games where you spend more gametime staring at loading screens. They might exist but I personally have never seen one. Virtually everything that happens in sonic 06 triggers multiple consecutive minute long loading screens. Even cutscenes and dying. The combination of the long times with the frequency drives any player nuts enough to remember them years after the fact so I'm not surprised at jimbo1qaz's comment. You will spend a good 20% of the gametime staring at static loading screens IF you never die.
