Yea after an hour or two of play you won't be saying the same thing

hmm i could do all of the above since the loading screens can sometimes literally take that long at times. I am on the Console and it is installed to hard drive i fear what it would be like if it wasn't.

Since I play on PC, I don't have time to do any of those. Even with my plethora of mods.

60 hours straight holy crap!

No what I mean is a session that is 1 hour or more is when slow load screens kick in

Load times are only a few seconds on PC, so I guess this poll was aimed at console users.

Pray that it doesnt crash...

Most of my sessions are around 3-6 hours of nonstop so yea.

Make sure all my weapons are loaded and have a plethora of ammo. If not I fix that problem after the load. :flamethrower: :nuke: :gun:
PS: Gun emoticons FTW!

Yup. I've read they can be really, really slow on the console. On my pc rig I barely have time to scratch my chin....but I can sympathize. Slow load times always svck, if you have them.

Ya, on PS3 (Current system I am playing NV on) at certain times in the game, the slides will go on for 2~6 minutes.
The game isn't crashing, it just takes its sweet ass time to load.
I ate a meal, in 10 minutes? And the game was still trying to load an abandoned shack.

Damn and I thought my game was bad on the PS3. Mine always loads in under 10 seconds, but it does crash every five minutes.. So I guess when you scale it up, you're getting the better deal lol.

I feel for people who are having long load times, not a problem here on PC. PCs do have their own issues though, I don't meet many console gamers who put aside a Sunday afternoon to spend it up to their elbows in the innards of their machine, or trying out different drivers, or wondering why you get sound when you do this but not when you do that, or finding your bank account wiped out after an upgrade... it's swings and roundabouts.

Online banking ftw lol.

That pretty much sums up why I don't have a gaming PC right now though (not the bank account part, the rest of it lol). I'd end up breaking it.

Where is the "wait a few seconds, then it loads" option?

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:47 pm

No kidding.
I'm on the PS3 and while I've had my fair share of freezing and crashing issues, this is new.

Basically, during loading screens, I spark up a new cig or "smoke", pour a drink or some such.

Plenty of time.

Where is the "expecting it to take a long time so you go to the bathroom and come back to find your character getting owned by fiends"???

Sit there and wish it would end :cryvaultboy:
