I don't remember Skyrim having load times... at all... on my old PC

So that's probably really bad

You could make the time go faster by doing push ups during the loading process. It doesn't have to be push ups. Could be jumping jacks or any exercise from MARSOC short card.

Just wait for the PS5 remaster. I believe it goes by the title 'Elder Scrolls 6'

When I was playing more DotA, I made a habit of holding a plank for the duration of any respawn timers I ended up waiting for. That got to be a little challenging in games that went long enough to hit the level cap (at which point respawning takes 1:40), but it did some nice things for my core strength.

"On Switch"

There is your problem

These games are meant for PC.

Doesn't the Switch use solid state memory? Is the CPU+GPU bottlenecking it or something?

That sounds expensive. Does Humble Bundle not have it for cheaper?

Just looked. It isn't.

Black Friday is not too far out. Could have gotten a better deal then. Skyrim always goes on sale.

I mean this was 20% off and it's on Nintendo. I know it's always on sale for PC and other systems but Nintendo barely ever has sales.

I didn't want it on PC because I wanted to play it handheld in bed.

it's more like the switch is a 3rd gen Nvidia shield tablet than anything else.

also, it's Skyrim, it's gonna be long loading since it wasn't designed for the tegra architecture

mainly because tegra wasn't a thing when Skyrim came out

Didn't mean to imply that you should play on PC. I've seen games for Nintendo on Humble Bundle. So I assumed Skyrim was one of them. Looking at it again, it isn't.

It's all good! I've never played it before anyway so paying $39 isn't that much to me I guess

Why are you playing Skyrim on the Switch?

I doubt it's optimized for anything. It's probably just compiled from a slightly modified source code where they changed one line to make it work on the Switch.

Kinda tempted to get Skyrim as well for those long flights/train rides. I saw this video on YouTube. Is 22 second your average load time or have you experienced longer? Is that only during the initial save file loading or the loading you experience when transitioning between towns, caves, open world, etc.?

That seems about right. It's whenever you enter a town or area. If you're in the town entering a building doesn't have as long as a load time but it isn't seamless.

M.2. for me when I upgrade about a year from now. Still doing car payments so I will not allow myself an upgrade until I'm done. I find it a little funny some of us would do all that for an eight year old game but when I replay older games from the 90's and early 2000's, it is an awesome feeling seeing games load and run so much faster and smoother, assuming no compatibility issues, that what we had to deal with when we first played said games.

Mods are the dealbreaker for me. Theres just too many quality of life mods Ive become accustomed to along with the unofficial patch that takes care of so many game breaking bugs.

If they ever update to allow mods on switch then Ill probably buy it.

tbh, I hadn't been thinking about the load times despite the fact I've played a few Switch games with terrible fucking load times =x

All the same, I'll probably *still* buy it at some point, but I'm going to wait for $30 or less because I already own it on the 360, ps3, and PC, plus I'll probably get the ps4 version at some point.
