Line #34 PlayingWith/LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading


1	'''Basic Trope''': A game takes ages to load.
2	* '''Straight''': The game takes 2 minutes to load the main menu, and once you start the game it takes 30 seconds to load a level and another 10 seconds to respawn each time you lose a life.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': The game takes 30 minutes to load the main menu, and each level takes 5 minutes to load. The game is NintendoHard and a loading screen shows up each time you respawn.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The game's loading screens last 10 seconds.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** It is a big game with lots of things to load.
7	** The game was designed to run on a high-end system and it's being run on system that is nowhere near as powerful.
8	** The game is so [[DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming awfully programmed]] that assets take way longer to load than what they should.
9	* '''Inverted''': The game loads almost instantly.
10	* '''Subverted''': The loading screen was only waiting for user input.
11	* '''Double Subverted''': But then ''another'' long loading screen comes afterwards.
12	* '''Parodied''': The game takes ''twenty years'' to load, and the system is long obsolete by the time it finishes.
13	* '''Zig Zagged''':
14	** The game seems to take forever to load, but it loads quickly. Then another loading screen pops up and seems stuck at 99%
15	** The game system the game was released on is notoriously unstable. Depending on the position of some internal components, the same content might take a few seconds or a few minutes to load. PercussiveMaintenance is listed in the manual as a way to speed up load times.
16	* '''Averted''': The game takes an average amount of time to load.
17	* '''Enforced''': The game is big, but the system can't seem to handle it.
18	* '''Lampshaded''': The protagonist says "That was a long wait!"
19	* '''Invoked''': ???
20	* '''Exploited''': The developers put ads on the loading screen.
21	* '''Defied''': The player tries to make the game load faster.
22	* '''Discussed''': "This game takes FOREVER to load!"
23	* '''Conversed''': "Why do these games always take so long to load?"
24	* '''Implied''': It seems like the player is using the system for hours, but the game is still on the loading screen.
25	* '''Deconstructed''':
26	** The game gets many bad reviews for having long loading times and sales drop.
27	** The long loading times indicate that the game was never designed to run on the system it was made for and as a result other aspects of the gameplay suffer.
28	* '''Reconstructed''': A patch is released that makes loading times shorter and it causes customers to buy the game again.
29	* '''Played For Laughs''':
30	** The loading screen is made to look funny.
31	** The game takes a lot of time to load even when tested on a supercomputer of the kind used for scientific simulations.
32	* '''Played For Drama''': The long loads cause players to be angry at the developers, and it causes a huge riot outside the game studio's building.
