I'm patient when it comes to programs loading, as it just happens sometimes. But I timed it once - to get from launching to the game's "menu" took 10 minutes! Seriously? Why not just load the game in stages if it takes that long. Anyway, was totally unable to finish, as the game crashed (and apparently burned...?!?) and was totally unable to relaunch the game. VERY disappointing, especially since I had to play the game twice because it crashed the 1st time too and wouldn't relaunch! A company should never release a game this buggy, can't launch, slow gameplay, takes forever to startup and glitchy, jerky transitions. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME.
