The people playing this on the Xbox or PS3 generally don't have $4,000-$6,000 lying around the house. I'd bet people that play on the consoles are the middle-class people who can't afford the PCs, otherwise I'd be playing it on a PC.

Actually I built my entire gaming rig for less than $1500 with name brand (Thermaltake, Asus, Intel, EVGA, LG, Western Digital, etc. etc.) parts ordered from Newegg. Took me about 5 months to save up the dough. I can only drool at the rig I could have built with the $4000-$6000 you stated :drool: I'd feel kinda wierd throwing that much cash at a computer though (if I had it, which I don't).

I got my ￡980 Gaming-Rig as a present. Basically, after my grandma died and left my mum a bit of money, my mum decided to get all 3 of her children a present. My sister got a new car, my brother got my sisters older car and driving lessons, and I got a Gaming-Rig. I don't necessarily need a car at the moment as I'm in College and my life is incredibly boring, so I thrive off Computer Games.

so like i've found that going from freeside to freeside....i can load the dishwasher start it and wait for it to finish running before the load screen is done. When i get to the King's HQ i enter the building and while it's loading i start a load of laundry wait for that to finish and go stare at the load screen for 2 more minutes. I go get my quest and leave the building, i drive to the oil change and get my oil changed drive back home and watch 4 more minutes of load screens. I then leave freeside and drive 5 miles to the grocery store and do my grocery shopping for the week come back and i'm still looking at load screens.

-yes im being sarcastic, but these load screens completely ruin this game for me. The bugs the...screw it you all know the list of problems people are having.
-I've tried installing it to my HD and still no difference, i have a feeling i have to sell this game because i just cant enjoy a game that takes this long to load and doesnt really impress me.

Not that any of you care, just sayin i buy games to enjoy them and i'm not really enjoying this game and i really dont think it's the games fault...if that makes sense.

I generally have time to shift uncomfortably in my chair (roughly 2-3 seconds) and then maybe sigh audibly (roughly 1-3 seconds) before each area loads... sooooo, yeah. The only thing that irks me is about 50% of the time I attempt to fast travel I just get stuck on this eternal loading screen until I get fed up and Task Manager that mofo, reload my game (I quick save before fast travelling now...), and either try it again or try for an area near where I want to go... seems to only be from/to certain areas this happens. Other than that, annoying bug here and there, not a big deal to me. :fallout:

Nothing.

My 4-year-old SDRAM powered dinosaur loads so fast I can't even read the hint texts.

I stare at the screen. On my computer it won't take any longer than a couple of seconds.. So I don't even have time for reading the tips.
