Recently, everyone must know that a 《GTA V》 fan made a patch to shorten the loading time of 《GTA V》! Of course, 《GTA V》 has also expressed gratitude to him and rewarded him with USD 10,000, some related Youtube channels have started to record some comparisons on different platforms as well. From the following video, you can find that PCs are among the top three in all loading screens. But if it was before the patch back in 2015, the PS3 version of 《GTA V》 may have waited for 20 minutes without entering the online mode! It’s much better than it is now for sure, but it doesn’t mean that the loading time of 《GTA V》 is the shortest now. Although it still depends on the configuration of the players’ computers, the better the computer, the shorter the loading time.
But this is not our main topic today! Because today we are going to talk about games that take longer than 《GTA V》 to load. The first one is 《Witcher 3: Wild Hunt》 which was released in the same year as 《GTA V》, but so far it takes almost 2-4 minutes to load. For some people, it may not be an issue, but if you think about it carefully, you can cook yourself a cup of noodles during the loading. Of course, a well-configured computer may only take 1 minute, but it will take a longer time for players who have a low spec computer.
Next, we have 《The Sims 4》 which is released in 2014. The longest loading time of 《The Sims 4》can goes up to 6 minutes, which is the total time for two cups of noodles. Of course, there are many “solutions” on the Internet, but the credibility of them is not high enough, just look at the example of 《GTA V》 to understand and you can understand why the credibility is not high. In the early years, many people published articles to promote some of their “special method” that allows you to enter 《GTA Online》 faster, and the result can tell instantly at that time, it is still the same loading time.
Lastly, another game in 2015, 《Just Cause 3》. The loading time on Xbox turned out to be 15minutes! After the player has played for more than 30 minutes, the frame rate will drop to 17fps! 15minutes is enough for a player to fight a 《Call of Duty》 team deathmatch mode. Maybe that other people have finished playing one round and you are still watching the loading screen doing nothing!
Finally, although the loading time of different consoles and game is different, based on the current technology, a game does not load more than 1 minute. Of course, other games take longer to load, for example, in the case of 《Leagueof Legends》, if one of your teammates is disconnected, the game will take 5minutes to enter the game, but if everyone is not disconnected and the network is completely fine, you can finish the loading of the game within 1 minute!
