But what about AAAA games?

And make sure the time is synced to the cloud so they need internet connection, and so the player can't be sneaky and reload the game to reset the timer if they pressed x too many times

This remind me of those random flash... Let's call them creations as they are neither games or animations specifically.

It starts with 1 A and a wait time of thirty seconds, each time you press the big X, it adds an 'A', and increasingly multiplies the time. You end up with the AAAAAAAAAAAAA Game, and are waiting for hours.

Does it do anything? No. It is vaguely humorous? Kinda?

I remember a flash animation that was basically the biggest advertisement of itself based off "reviews", with stuff like "The greatest animation of all time; A must see animation; Better than Lord of the Rings; Better than sex; Better than chocolate; Better than sex with chocolate" - That was all the animation was.

Meanwhile star citizen with no loading screens once you're in the world

Because they have infinite time and money to finish it. They have achieved what many big publishers cannot, they have effectively turned a game into a bank and everyone trusts them and likes them for it.

Metal Gear series be like

Oh yeah. I've started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I'm like: "brilliant, now that's a way to disguise loading with something I'm doing, even if it's just walking" , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What's wrong with you.

When I wanna play a game, I wanna play a game. I don't wanna watch a damn movie I can't skip. Or even worse, "follow me!" like it's Dora the Explorer on tutorial mode. I got like 30 minutes into God of War and gave up.
