Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 leaves out multiplayer and features 5 minute load times!

This is probably not the best way to launch a new game…

The game was supposed to feature multiplayer but now that feature has been pushed back to make sure its ready for release. The studio said that they pushed it back so as not to distract from the single-player experience. Sure…

But that’s not all because if you have a PS4 and are looking to pick up the newly released Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, you should be aware of some pretty disgusting load times.

Gaming website Eurogamer is reporting that they are experiencing load times of up to five minutes when traveling between the four regions the game has to offer.

I remember the fays of long load times being around for the PlayStation 1, but this does seem a bit much for a modern game on a modern system.

What is interesting is that CI Games (the team behind the project) responded to Eurogamer’s findings by saying “This inconvenience is rewarded with a comfortable experience once the game is loaded.”

Seems like a terrible answer if you want people to buy your game, but what do I know (slides wallet back into pants pocket).
