I think you’re confusing the original complaint and what I replied with. He was complaining about load times, the length of loading, as opposed to loading at all. You’re talking about the absence of interiors needing to load at all. 

Try playing for more than 30 minutes.

I also want to add that until Kiwami 2 (I’ve completed only 0, Kiwami 1, and Kiwami 2), I wasn’t really a fan of the fighting systems. They’re not bad, but they’re JUST good enough not to be boring. But Kiwami 2's fighting was legitimately fun and engaging. So even though I have to slog it out with the antiquated…

“What I hope to god is that the remasters cut down on load times.”

It’s kind of funny that the game actually provides the opposite of what you describe. It almost forces you to abandon the main story and indulge in the side content. It doesn’t literally do this, but it’s the best way to play the game. Just get past the first chapter, bro.

“then I’ll be done. I will have done it. The monster will be slain and the victory fanfare will play.”

Is it necessary to level up, though? Hmm. You said you finished the main story, I guess you’re referring to your sibling, right? So you haven’t tracked down the father figure yet.

Wow, you’re STILL upset by my opinion about a crappy video game? Have you considered therapy?

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty certain Y0 allows for saving anywhere. I’ve only been playing on PC (after playing Y1 back on Ps2) and Y3 is the first game I can remember bringing the awful phone booth saves back.

I booted up 3 on PC today and it is ROUGH. Wonky camera, wonky running, goddamn saving only at phone booths.

Grinding to level up is not Valhalla’s issue. The issue is it funnels you through each region one by one. The main quests in each region level you up enough for the next one. It’s just that this boring succession of boring regions and forgettable characters is a slog.

I disagree with you on Valhalla, but agree completely on Death Stranding and Witcher 3. Death Stranding took me 40-45, and I gave up on Witcher 3 after 20.

I found hunting down cultists to be the most engaging part. Also, since I didn’t look up the clue about the leader, I was pretty surprised when the identity was revealed.

Valhalla isn’t too long, it’s too repetitive.

Bro, you waited three days and you’re still upset by my opinion of a crappy game? Holy shit!

Waiting for a second Castlevania collection of all the great handheld titles.

“If Final Fantasy XV was just a collection of disparate adventures glued together by a story about the bonds of friendship it would go down as an all-time great.”

That’s a lot of words to say “yes” to my question. I’m sorry I hurt you with my opinion, skippy.

What’s an example of what? I said the election is next year.

Counterpoint: all of what you said is true, and the speedrunners are still impressive.
