Which is why I've mostly been a console peasant. PC games are like "So let's spend 5 minutes installing extra shit. And maybe 15 minutes screwing with the settings and fixing compatibility. Oh and are you ready for The Modern Scourge, the Hell that is shader precompilation? We'll be here for a while."

Modern games are a little bit better, but yeah...

I don't know about AAA games, but I play mostly indies and I never have this issue.

This has been the opposite of my experience. I played Bloodborne on a friend's PS4 and the load times were atrocious, sometimes over a minute to wrap between areas. I played it on my PC and all loading is 5 seconds or less
