I don't "beep through" a dialogue unless I've heard it already
which unless I like listening to that one, I'll have no qualms
skipping through it. Loading time is not a problem for the
adventure part since most of it is done at the beginning but
in the strategy area it is a HUGE problem since it happens
in the middle of gameplay multiple times depending on how
often you use the supers. It's highly annoying when I watch
someone execute his/her super and then have to wait over
ten seconds before seeing the effects of it on battlefield. It
really takes away from the "flow" of the game. And what's
really insulting is that the supers aren't that cool to begin with
especially when compared to those in the 1st game. I still
enjoy the strategy part but the loading time is enough of a
detraction to make it a valid complaint.
