Are the Load/Save times on The Witcher, that bad?

[CorCentral]

Compare it with say.... FarCry. Faster or slower load times?

I'm not that worried, it's just that I've read that some people actually read a magazine at the computer while loading or saving a game..

Before they released the patch that addressed this issue, reading a magazine wasn't too far out of the question, but after the patch things improved dramatically. The loading times are pretty average now, don't worry about it.

I played before the patch and coped. It wasn't as bad as the original SiN.

I played both before and after the patch and I don't really remember any problems. They definitely shortened up a bit post patch, but it's not bad.

No they are not bad at all. They are not very long. At least not on my rig. I'd play that game even if it had 5 minute long load times. It's that good.
