The slums chapter is fucking atrocious with the slow 'we're hiding a load time here' stuff.
As someone said above, FFVII R is the one big notable game in recent years that made this trope very obvious.
I appreciated TLoU 2's approach where load times were hidden behind cut-scenes so you never experience a lul in your first run through. But if you are replaying the game and skip cut-scenes, you realize just how damn long the game needs to load from black. Some times it's as long as the cut-scenes that are used to mask it.
I have a feeling they don't need to do that with the PS5 version since the loading is insanely fast in it. Of course since it was originally developed for HDDs (ex PS4) we have to deal with it.
