I know Uncharted 2 is kinda long when you first start a new campaign or load a save game but then that goes away.

At least it's not DMC4 with the bullshit install times.

Well Valkyria took about 25 minutes which wasn't bad. Demon's Souls wasn't unbearable, just long. However the game is beautiful and mega challenging so I'll forgive it, also the massive levels it loads up explain the loading time. Super Street fighter 4 just honestly takes way too long and I don't know why. SF4 wasn't that bad as I've played it on PS3 consoles many times as it's tournament standard.

Yes, SF4 load times are far too long. Some halfway decent pre-loading of resources or just keeping of resources in RAM would make a huge difference.

For example, probably the majority of the time when you die, you are going to replay that level again. So why not just keep that level and character all in RAM while you switch to the character select screen? I mean, that's basic programming skills.

I don't find load times unbearable at all.
In fact after installing Valkyria (for example) the average load time is maybe 3-5 seconds for me.

The longest hinderance I've found in a PS3 game is saving in FarCry 2, which takes all of 10 seconds. That, and in Tekken 6 pre-installing the game load times were 20 seconds, but after install almost instantaneous.

Maybe something's wrong with your system? I've never had a single person complain (then again you are the master of it) about load times in a PS3 game (unless they haven't installed the game).
