I don't remember the last time I saw a big ol' loading bar, honestly. Maybe a small one in steam?
SSDs have made it a rarity for me.

Nothing meaningful to say, just wanted to post a nostalgic loading bar.
AOE?
Oblivion

This is a joke: Fun thing: players don’t trust a smooth loading bar. The stutters and pauses show you that the load is ‘biting’. I’ve worked on games where we artificially faked it.
Article: the above is not a joke
Poor guy is still loading today.
