No Loading Screens, what a joke.

It's true.

But, it isn't there, there are loading screens...

[Uranius Johnson]

To be fair, I don't remember a single loading screen aside from reloading a save after dying.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't have preferred it given that half the textures don't even load...

What part of the game? It has one loading screen when you start the game or when you die....not while you glide around through out the city or not when you enter the rooms or exit them.

Which still counts as a loading screen.

I mean the one which recounts parts of the campaign.

Don't know what game you've been playing but I've not seen one

Honestly; anytime I see that claim about a game, I always assume the following caveat is there. "With the exception of loading save files (such as after dying or otherwise achieving a failure state) or a new game."

For the most part; that's been exactly the case with open world games. The only load screens I remember seeing in Arkham Knight were when loading a previous save (like if I'd just died) or if I'd just fired up the game and hit "Continue" on the main menu.

EDIT: Witcher 3 was the same; only load screens in that were when starting a new game, loading an existing one, reloading after death, or travelling to a whole new world map (the last of which isn't an option in Arkham Knight as it only has one world map - Witcher 3 has three main ones that are each absolutely massive and three smaller ones).

Every open world game has loading screens at the same times (loading a new game, loading an existing game, reloading after death/failure state, loading a whole new world map); if someone claims "no loading screens" I just assume that they mean with the exception of the ones I just listed in brackets. Haven't been proven wrong so far.

How do you expect a game to run with no loading screens? It puts more strain on the system.

Giving it time to load during save load and restart/respawn allows it to refresh itself.

[Mr_Bump]

OP is an idiot, however there loading screens in all but name, such as the Riddler elevators, which are clearly just there to hide the loading.

[xThunderboltz]

The game does not present you a screen. But deffinantly loads when it needs to. There are areas the game forces you to go through with really nothing going on. Aot of games do it. If you ever have to pass through a corridor/hallway with just two doors, an elevator(riddler's races),or random door it is a loading zone. Tons of game do it. You should start to notice them.

Outrage at the 15 seconds he has to be reminded of the tragedy in the last 3 hours of the game's story. Poor guy.
