Yeah. This is a design that will disappear next-gen. Enjoy it while you can!
There is a shitton of these:
Usually in games I don't really mind, it doesn't even occur to me that this is hiding loading, but this game has an awful lot of them, some of them are really long, too.
They should make a game that's just beginning to end squeezing through gaps.
Next-gen video games will be filling up much more memory with much higher assets so the jury's out on whether this is the last we see of this shit or not. It's not like loading times are instantaneous on a PC game running on a SSD, either...
That's definitely why I said in theory because the SSD should help but also graphics/assets are always something that gets pushed as much as they can in big budget games.
I am also here, the hype before launch was big but after reading some reviews and thoughts in the OT it's clear this isn't for me. I don't mind games that are formulaic at all but if the game has boring characters or lacks any sort of charm then I'll probably wait for a price drop. People using the word "slog" a lot.
Stig didn't work on GoW 2018, which is the game they were referring to I think.
If you count GOW's duck under rock or crawl through tunnel sequences as squeeze throughs, which they functionally are, then yeah I think they're comparable.
