I found A Gamer’s Manifesto at Game Girl Advance. It’s humorous and hits home. I’ve always had Nintendo systems so I never really dealt with long load times before, but PC Games and apparently Playstation and XBox titles are plagued by developers who think that long loading times are great. Another valid complaint is the invisible barrier that keeps you within the game map. With the power of game platforms these days, couldn’t the map itself keep you within its boundaries? If I am going to hit the edge of the map as if it was a normal wall, why not make it a normal wall? Or some other suitable obstacle?
