I can't say I have encountered this problem myself but that could be because I am using a quadcore instead of a dualcore. However it is great to see people stepping in where the developers are screwing up (seriously bioware you should be ashamed of yourselves).

Bigpappy5621d ago

Some N4G posters mentioned this problem and I believe it was also in a review. I play on the 360 and the load time are quite good.

shopsmartash5622d ago

I didn't really notice that long of a load time. I'll have to check that out later when I play. Amd X-2 5200 cpu.

RedSky5622d ago

Neither. I've got an E7200 and load times were like 5-8 seconds max.

ChrisW5621d ago

With an i5-750 and 8Gbs of DDR3-1600 RAM, only about 2 or 3 seconds.

sashimi5621d ago (Edited 5621d ago )

This has helped loading times quite a bit, reduced my loading times to about3-5seconds.

kraze075621d ago

I'm using a dual core and I haven't had any problems with load times.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast203d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine203d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast203d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast203d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman202d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave451d ago (Edited 451d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
