My vote EASILY goes to this shit. The fact that someone could be expected to sit through this, let alone on a handheld, is stunning. I used to own this game until I SOLD it for being an unbearable piece of shit with the most unreasonable load t--well, just watch it yourself.

Runner-up: Destruction Derby on PSone. You could order a pizza in the time it took for a race to load.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I distinctly remember yourself posting in the previous "smack down vs raw psp has horrible load times" thread

You were given enough warning.

 

[jett]

Any, ANY, ANY FUCKING GAME loses to your average C64 game.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Midnight Club on the PSP. Very not okay.

 

[BuddyC]

Damn, that makes Tony Hawk Underground Remix's load times look downright tame.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I actually played goldeneye for the ds. Load times were between 20-30 seconds because EA was cheap and went with the smallest card size. Therefore, lots of decompressing.

 

[drohne]

holy SHIT

how does this get past sony qa when like...suikoden and metal slug can't?

 

[fronn]

Wait... you bought Smack Down vs Raw? (Can't visit the youtube link =\ )

Holy damn, I thought Alien vs Predator on the Jag was the only cart game to have insane load times.

Quake 64 had them too, but they replaced "LOADING..." with "BUILDING..." lolz.

 

[dkeane]

The worst I've ever experienced is trying to play Last Blade 2 on the Neo Geo CD.
Every new screen required loading and the wait was more than a minute. It was crazy-stupid.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Soldier of Fortune for DC.

 

[Sho Nuff]

holy SHIT

Enormous publishers like THQ with a big Christmas seller that MUST ship for the holidays. Don't forget that Raw 2 shipped with multiple "A" bugs and Wrestlemania couldn't even connect to Live out of the box.

AND IGN LOVES THEM ALL!!! YAY!!!

jesus christ that was one long load time

 

[GitarooMan]

I remember being really annoyed by the first Crash game on PS2. In between levels was 30 seconds plus, it sucked.

EDIT: by the way, that video is a riot. unbelievable.

 

[Link1110]

Tiger Woods for PSP (The original, I've heard better about 2006.) The game's horrible too.

Edit: Just watched the video, Tiger's got nothing on this game.

 

[Uncle]

Any, ANY, ANY FUCKING GAME loses to your average C64 game.

Yeah. But those were great cause you could go out and hang out with your friends while it loaded.

Patience was a 1541 disk drive. :lol

 

[BobJustBob]

Any, ANY, ANY FUCKING GAME loses to your average C64 game.

Haha, yeah. I remember when we got Ghostbusters for the C64 and we thought it was a bad copy because it never ran. Turns out we just weren't letting it load long enough. If memory serves, it took something like 5 minutes to start the game.

Invade-a-load FTW!

 

[John Harker]

TIME SPLITTERS 1 for PS2 was TERRIBLE.

Man, the pain

 

[Prospero]

Any, ANY, ANY FUCKING GAME loses to your average C64 game.

This is exactly what I expected to see when I entered this thread.

Three minutes to load a single stage of Marble Madness.

At the 1:45 mark, I believe I went into uncontrollable hysterics.

Who the fuck coded this game?

 

[GhostSeed]

The worst I've ever experienced is trying to play Last Blade 2 on the Neo Geo CD.

I remember Tengai Makyo Shinden on the NG CD also having similar issues.

The video makes the PSP version look unbearable, but the PS2 version wasn't all peaches and cream either. It also has the multiple loading screens of doom.

 

[Mmmkay]

I think Spartan: Total Warrior (PS2) is possibly the worst I've experienced. Although I did have a ZX Spectrum... But I guess you're aiming for modern day gen games.

 

[lochnesssnowman]

That video is great :lol

 

[AdmiralViscen]

My vote EASILY goes to this shit.

Holy shit! That's painful.

 

[john2kx]

The irony is that it's not even a good game you're waiting 6+ minutes for.

 

[Shogmaster]

I distinctly remember Sam Sho Neo Geo CD kiosk at Summer CES back in 92 or something taking literally a minute to load a match...

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Top Spin (Xbox)

You could have had a game of tennis by the time this thing loaded in.

Yawn!

[Link1110]

As did Tokimeki Memorial for PC Engine.

 

[Totz]

The PS1 port of Chrono Trigger.

Press triangle to open the menu: 5 seconds
Press traingle to close the menu: 5 seconds
When you engage in battle: I don't know, forever? The battle theme was almost at the middle when finally you hear Crono unsheathing his sword. Sad.
After a battle: some more time

 

[gollumsluvslave]

I remember Sin for the PC having atrocious load time before Ritual released a patch to fix them..

 

[Solo]

KotOR was pretty fucking brutal.

[Xrenity]

My vote EASILY goes to this shit.

GTA LCS does FAR better than that... That is just... wow. The funny thing is you can't tell if the PSP is actually doing something when you see a complete black screen (well, I guess you hear the UMD making some noise, though).

Can't think of a better one :+

And btw, you'll probably only play a round for 3 minutes or something. After which you have to load AGAIN.

 

[G-Fex]

Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 on PS2 also has some pretty bad load times, i'd say half of that like three and a half minutes just begin a normal match.


I hear games for the original Neo Geo MVS system were really long load times. Also battle arena toshinden 3 was just horrible with load times.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Operation Wolf on my Spectrum 128k took 15 minutes to load.

15 minutes.

And you had to pray the cassette head would keep an even pressure or it would crash while loading. No C64 Invade-a-Load for me!

 

[Tsubaki]

I was thinking some of the KoFs on PSX but oh my... that PSP vid takes the cake and then the entire feast too.

"Uhmm hello?"

"Oh, it was loading the LOADING screen "


:lol :lol :lol

 

[Pimpbaa]

Holy crap. That is unacceptable. And for IGN to say the loading was comparable to the vast majority of PSP titles was sickening.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Any, ANY, ANY FUCKING GAME loses to your average C64 game.

In the game Adventure Construction Set there was an option to let the game finish your adventure for you. Definitely the worst loading time ever.

 

[Kobun Heat]

My vote EASILY goes to this shit.

Ho-lee shit. I was gonna say Ape Escape Academy, but hot damn.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Wow, after seeing the movie.......



Wow.......

 

[Leonsito]

That video is awesome :lol :lol

 

[Azure Dream]

Willy Beamish for the Sega CD.

Still got to load the movie, though. (Loading for loading!)

 

[Teddman]

SIX AND A HALF MINUTES to play a match in Smack Down vs Raw PSP? THQ ought to be banned from the handheld for life.
