Elder Scrolls Oblivion question (PS3)

[omega 616]

Wow, your really anal about loading times.

There still a bit lengthy but I just watched telly for a bit when I went through a door or something so it never really bothered me.

Loading times arent that long on the PS3 version. From playing both, the PS3 is really faster but I got the GOTY edition for PS3 so that may have improved it ... Maybe.

EDIT: My 1k post. Hoorah.

Why won't Bethesda let us fast travel from indoor locations??

Because its not realistic!

Everybody knows you can't teleport unless you're outside!

....Silly!

Hehe... that made me chuckle.

How could I forget? One of the basic laws of (Havok) physics!

Although I havn't see it... I'm 100% sure that someone has a fast-travel anywhere mod.

I did a playtrhough of the game with a mod that disabled fast-travel. It was epic... like really epic. A million times better than having fast-travel.

I wouldn't have the patience for that.

Let me humble suggest you buy every Bethesda game from now on for PC if yours can run it. You'll thank me.

Once again, the PC is the way to go when it comes to overall speed.

Ok so fairly straitforward, I have oblivion on the 360, and I really liked the game. I would like to start a new character and get back into the game but the loading times are fucking murderous. My cousin says the PS3 version loads faster, but then again he's a total sony fanboy. So is this true?
for reference, the loading times are roughly:
Loading your character when the game first starts: about 45 seconds added to whatever the zone you're in when you load
Entering your standard room of a house: about 5-10 seconds if it's small and empty, but can take up to 25 if there's a lot of NPCs like in guild halls and such.
Entering an area of a fortress/dungeon with a large number of NPCs: 20 seconds
Entering a semi crowded town/city: between 20-45 seconds
Entering the outside world/spread out countryside: 5-10 seconds, but you'll run into points where the game will stop and give you some "loading area" text from time to time.

This gets really annoying for quests where you have to constantly go in and out of houses and things of that nature. So if anyone here has the PS3 version, is it any better or is it pretty much the same?

OMG 45 seconds hoooow can you waiit sooooo looonnnnggg

please, kiddies have to grow up and deal with it

I remember some of the loading times I had to wait... Oh i remember humans on my amiga and I had to sit through over 8 minutes of credits and advertising at the start of the game each time I loaded it up and it was impossible to skip...

But anyway back on topic, what ive seen, unless your game is located on your HDD the xbox seems to be quicker at loading this game in general, but that is my experiance. Or you could play it on PC and all is good XD
