9. Shorten Loading Times

Even the 3D models look impatient.

Nobody wants to play a waiting game. Loading screens usually can’t be helped in games that have giant worlds. But when every door and quick travel makes you wait five minutes, you start to question whether or not exploring that ruined building is even worth it. You can only spin the 3D models around so many times before it gets boring.

Solution: This is an optimization problem. The game should be able to load textures and models in a timely manner—especially considering there are next-gen games with higher quality graphics that get it right.
