I feel dizzy thinking i almost didn't buy this package due to reviews. I'm on EP1 now and everything is still fine. Great games.

You get used to if after a while but it's a joke you have to sit through two load screens before a game save has loaded. :roll: The load times are my biggest issue with TOB.

Of course it would have been nice to have less load time but I do not remember if they were shorter on PC....

I've played Episode 2 on the PS3 and I haven't noticed any slowdowns so far. IGN/Eurogamer use this dramatic hyperbole to describe how terrible a PS3 port is, but when you play the game, the problems aren't noticeable and even closely studying head-to-head videos the differences are impossible to see. Same thing with F.E.A.R: IGN went on and on about how terrible the PS3 port was. I was really expecting something completely unplayable, but I was shocked to play the final version and find that it was basically indistinguishable from the PC version. To make it even crazier, on IGN's recent GameSages podcast (ep 1), they even said that Blu-Ray movies aren't noticeably better than regular DVDs. Wow! Just f'ing Wow... Couldn’t agree more.
